Water levels likely to rise in Emma, Christopher lakes The Water Security Agency (WSA) is advising the public about the rising lake levels on Emma and Christopher Lakes in northern Saskatchewan. Landowners on both lakes should be aware of the high lake levels and potential impacts from more rainfall in the forecast.

The above normal amounts of precipitation this year have pushed these lakes to the highest level on record. Currently, Emma Lake is at 516.03 m which is 0.46 m above the normal summer operating range.

Christopher Lake is currently at 515.13 m which is 0.32 m above the normal summer operating range.

Landowners in this area who feel they may be impacted by rising water levels are asked to contact WSA and access the Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program by contacting the North Battleford Regional Office at 306-446-7450. This program provides assistance with

the implementation of emergency flood damage reduction or prevention measures for communities, rural municipalities, businesses, non-profit organizations, individual farm and country residences and cottages to prevent damage from imminent flooding.

High water levels on Emma and Christopher Lakes are expected to continue well into August or and possibly in to September. At this time, releases from Christopher Lake are not expected to cause any flooding downstream on the Spruce River.

The Water Security Agency was created to lead implementation of the 25 Year Saskatchewan Water Security Plan. The plan will improve water management capacity and service to individuals, businesses and communities across Saskatchewan. The agency brings together all of the major responsibilities related to water quality and quantity.

fire destroys home in cathedral blufFs Saskatoon firefighters mop up hotspots on Thursday, July 24, following a massive blaze that destroyed a home in Cathedral Bluffs, a country residential subdivision in the RM of Corman Park north of Saskatoon. Damage to the home is estimated to be approximately $1 million. The fire is believed to have started as a result of a lightning strike during a storm, but the cause of the blaze is still under investigation. The fire was called in about 3:30 in the morning. Firefighters had to deal with the potential for

explosions from natural gas and propane as they battled the fire, due to difficulties in shutting off the natural gas line and the presence of a propane tank in the garage. The homeowner suffered minor burns while trying to move a vehicle out of the garage before firefighters arrived on the scene. Fire crews were able to contain the blaze to a single home and prevented it from spreading to neighbouring properties. However, the fire did flare up again later that afternoon.

TERRY JENSON | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Members of the Warman Fire Department responded Thursday, July 24 at about 5:00 p.m. to a flare-up of a house fire earlier in the morning at Cathedral Bluffs. Firefighters worked to extinguish the flames just as threatening storm clouds and tornado warnings were issued for several areas to the west of Saskatoon, including Borden and Radisson. Fortunately, no funnel clouds touched down and there was no serious damage from the storm.

Corman Park’s ‘five per quarter’ bylaw adopted, ball back in province’s court

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park Council passed second and third reading of bylaws that would allow a change from two residential yard sites per quarter section (160 acres) to a maximum of five residential yard sites per quarter section in some circumstances.

The adoption of the revised bylaws took place at the RM’s regular council meeting on Monday, July 21. Prior to the passage of the bylaw, a public hearing was held at the council meeting.

RM of Corman Park Planning Director Rebecca Row confirmed the passage of the revised bylaws, but noted that the provincial government must give its approval before they can be implemented. In the meantime, she said, no further applications for country residential developments are currently being accepted.

In an interview on Monday, July 28, Row said the RM is currently preparing a package to submit to Community Planning for Ministerial approval.

“We are optimistic the province will approve the bylaws this time around,” Row said. “The one message we need to let people know is that we can’t accept rezoning applications for subdivision proposals until we have heard back from the province.”

She said the RM will be updating its website over the coming months as new information from the province becomes available.

“We will be udpating the application

forms and so on if necessary, depending on what we hear back from the province,” she said. “In the meantime, everything is on ‘pause’ right now.”

In 2013, the RM council adopted revised bylaws allowing for higher density in single parcel country residential developments, but the Community Planning banch of the Ministry of Government Relations declined to grant approval.

Since then, the RM council revised and edited the bylaws based on comments received from the Ministry.

The bylaws were repealed on May 21, 2014 and new, amended bylaws (Bylaw 25/14 and Bylaw 26/14) were given first reading at that time.

WHAT THE BYLAWS SAY

The text of the newly-adopted bylaws is as follows: “The purpose of the proposed Bylaw 25/14 is to: - On quarter sections to allow up to four small residential building sites (maximum total area of 20 acres) plus a residential building site on the balance of the quarter; - On 80-acre parcels to allow up to two small residential building sites (maximum total area of 10 acres) plus a residential building site on the balance of the 80-acre parcel; - Identify a 5 per Quarter Constraints Overlay area in Appendix ‘B’ that restricts the single parcel country residential policy amendments in this Overlay area due to proposed highway corridors, flood-prone lands and urban mu-

nicipalities growth plans; - Add a severed parcels policy that allows for the potential subdivision to create a separate and independent Land Title on parcels severed as a result of a natural or man-made feature such as a river or permanent water body, railway or roadway; - Require a Basic Development Review (BDR) be completed for subdivision and rezoning; - Amend the setback distances for Intensive Livestock Operations (ILO) to be measured from the property boundary of the land being utilized instead of the area of confinement for animals; - Require development to maintain a separation distance from existing ILO’s that is one level of intensity higher than the current number of animal units permitted. Appendix ‘C’ represents the increase in one level of intensity for existing ILO’s in the R.M.; and - Requiring executed co-existence agreements to be registered on the Land Titles.

The purpose of the proposed Bylaw 26/14 to amend the R.M. Zoning Bylaw is to: - Add a definition for a Basic Development Review (BDR) and its components.

The BDR will assist Council in assessing subdivision and rezoning proposals by providing information on how servicing, hazard lands, infrastructure requirements and adjacent land uses; and - Add an ILO subsection into Section 4 Standards for Development that outlines the information required to be submitted for an ILO application. “

Funeral home expands in response to area’s growth

PRIVATE SALE

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Martens Warman Funeral Home has more than doubled the capacity of its chapel facility to accommodate about 250 people.

“The community is growing and more people are making use of a funeral home facility for services,” said John Martens, owner of the wellestablished funeral home in Warman. “The expansion is something that we’ve planned for several years now because we recognized the need for this kind of facility.”

John and and his wife Shirley Martens are licensed funeral directors with over 30 years experience. The newly-expanded chapel facility, which opened earlier this year, is just the latest investment for the well-established funeral home, which has been on the corner of Central Street and Centennial Boulevard in Warman for many years.

“It took us awhile to figure out the best way to expand the building,” said Martens. “We decided on this option instead of expanding out into the parking lot. This way we only lose maybe four or five parking stalls because we have parallel parking in the front, and we have angle parking on the sides.”

Martens said the new chapel is designed to provide an intimate setting, but large enough to accommodate a larger congregation.

“We’re able to seat 250, but we can also extend into the overflow,” said Martens. “Most funerals average between 150 to 200 people, but there was often a need for larger funeral services. Now we’re able to handle that. People don’t have to worry about making a lot of arrangements with different facilities.

They can come in here and we will set them at ease.”

“City living wrapped in the charm of a small town lifestyle”

610 Centennial Blvd., Warman Martens Warman Funeral Home owner John Martens says the expanded funeral chapel can accommodate 250 people Martens said they work with families to provide a service that reflects the life of the loved one who has passed on. The new sound system can adapt to all music devices.

“We also provide powerpoint to personalize your service.

“A funeral or memorial service is meant to honour and celebrate the life of the loved one and be meaningful and comforting to those who remain,” he said. “Family and friends have an opportunity to gather together, to share a sense of loss, to

support one another, and to remember the life of their loved one. We are dedicated to helping families honour and celebrate their loved one in a meaningful way.”

RM pays tribute to long-serving public works employees

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

With about 900 miles (1500 kilometers) of roads within its boundaries, the RM of Corman Park relies heavily on its Deaprtment of Public Works to keep the traffic moving.

“It’s a big job, definitely, and Public Works is our biggest deaprtment,” said Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood.

“To go along with that, the biggest portion of our budget is devoted to Public Works.”

Several consecutive years of rain, flooding and harsh winters have added to the challenges for grader operators, noted Harwood.

“It’s been another intersting year for the public works team, and of course people are not alwyas happy with the way the roads deteriorate after all the big rains we’ve experienced, but we do our very best to get the roads back into good condition as soon as possible. I think most ratepayers are pretty un-

derstanding.”

Every year, the RM honours long-term service employees who have achieved fiveyear increments. This year, all the workers are in the Public Works department. They were in the spotlight at a breakfast on Friday, July 25 at the RM’s “33rd Street” shop, its main public works maintenance facility on Dalmeny Road just outside the City of Saskatoon’s western boundary.

Employees honoured at the event included: Merv Penner (35 years), Isaac Wiebe (30 years), Ron Taylor (25 years), Brent Zelinski (20 years), Orville Epp (20 years), Larry Prestupa (5 years) and Amanda Baht (5 years).

Corman Park Public Works Director Joe Stewart said the gathering was the municipality’s way of saying “thanks” for a job well done.

“It’s not always easy and it’s not always popular, but everyone appreciates the good work these folks do,” said Stewart.

Osler Fire Department awarded new turnout gear under unique program The Osler Fire Department is getting some much-needed new turnout gear.

The department is one of three volunteer fire departments in North America chosen to receive four sets of new gear under a program called “Globe Gear Giveaway,” a partnership between Globe Manufacturing, DuPont Protection Technologies (DuPont), and the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC).

The Osler Fire Department is an all-volunteer department serving a population of 1,500.

The department is currently operating out of the town shop as it works to complete construction of its first fire hall.

With fundraising over the past

10 years focusing on the fire hall, the gear and equipment has started to suffer.

Much of the gear is mismatched and ill-fitting, and over half of it is more than 10 years old.

Despite these limitations, the department provides vital protection to the community in addition to serving as part of a mutual aid agreement with four other volunteer departments. It also maintains a robust fire prevention education and community outreach program, and participates in community charity projects. The four new sets of gear will make a big difference in helping the department provide proper protection for those who serve.

Too many oxpeckers for each rhino?

By COLIN CRAIG

Prairie Director, Canadidan Taxpayers Federation

COMMENTARY

Mutualism is a term that describes a relationship where two organisms have a close, mutually beneficial relationship.

One well-known example in the animal world would be the rhinoceros and oxpecker. The latter being the type of bird often captured in photos perched on a rhino’s back. The bird benefits as a rhino’s hide is often full of ticks and they make for tasty treats. The rhino benefits as it gets free health care courtesy of the bird.

The relationship between taxpayers and governments should be similar. A healthy large body of taxpayers (a rhino) should pay reasonable tax rates (ticks) to the government in exchange for services from government employees (oxpeckers).

The problem in Saskatchewan is that despite positive reforms by the Wall government to downsize the provincial bureaucracy, the rhino is still overwhelmed with oxpeckers on its back in this province. The ticks have been eaten up and the oxpeckers are slowing down the host and looking for more.

In other words, Saskatchewan has too many government employees and taxpayers are paying higher taxes as a result.

The latest Statistics Canada figures show that as of March 2014, approximately 20.7 per cent of people working in Canada are employed by the government in one form or another. Yet, in Saskatchewan the number is noticeably higher; 24.7 per cent.

In fact, both figures are up from 15 years ago – when 19.1 per cent of Canadians worked for the government and ‘only’ 23.5 per cent of Saskatchewan workers received a government pay cheque.

If you drill down on the numbers even further and look at just those employed by the provincial government and provincial institutions (schools, hospitals, universities, but not including crown corporations) you’ll find that 9.33 per cent of all Saskatchewanians work for such bodies; 37.2 per cent higher than the national average.

By comparison, 6.34 per cent of British Columbians and 5.92 per cent of Albertans work for the provincial government and provincial institutions.

It should be pointed out that the Wall government has been doing a good job of reducing the number of employees working in government ministries. The province’s 2013 budget speech noted: “We are on track to achieve our four-year target of reducing the public service workforce by 15 per cent – more than 1,900 positions — including 600 positions in 2013-14.”

The problem seems to be with school boards, universities and health regions. As the Wall government provides funding to each of them annually, the Premier should tell them “we’ve made hard decisions to reduce redundant positions, now it’s time for you to do the same.”

Thankfully, there’s a simple and pain-free way for universities, school boards and health regions to deal with the situation; retirements. Over the coming decade, a massive wave of retirements are set to take place in Saskatchewan as the baby boomers start to retire. As those employed in not-so-essential positions retire, don’t rehire for the positions.

Reducing the number of paper-pushers would allow the government to either reduce taxes or direct more money towards services people care about; fixing roads, repairing bridges and front-line health care services to name a few.

One thing is for certain, somehow other provinces are delivering similar services and getting by with fewer oxpeckers. It’s time for Saskatchewan to follow suit.

Rural voters may have Progressive Conservative option What has motivated former Progressive Conservative Minister Rick Swenson to revitalize the old PC party may be of less consequence than what he is now offering.

And what he and PCs may be offering rural voters is another right-wing option in the provincial election in 2016.

Some of you may have heard the Saskatchewan PCs’ recent radio advertising campaign questioning the $128-million deal announced last December that sees the Canada Pension Plan acquire 46,500 hectares of Saskatchewan farmland from Assiniboia Farmland LP. “I believe that there are a number of Saskatchewan farmers and residents who are not fully aware that the Canada Pension Plan was allowed to purchase over 700 quarters of prime Saskatchewan farm land,” Swenson said in a press release. “Like the NDP Land Bank program of the 1980s, an agency of government is competing against farm families who are looking to purchase farm land.”

Calling the deal “wrong both legally and morally,” Swenson goes on to say it “puts the future of Saskatchewan farmland ownership at risk for generations”. The ad directs listeners to the PC Party website so that they can be part of a “call to action”.

Early this spring, Swenson formally requested the Saskatchewan Farm Land Security Board investigate this land purchase, calling the deal a “precedent-setting sale of Saskatchewan’s greatest resource.”

“We need more farmers, not less,” Swenson said.

Of course, there may be more to the Swenson/PC opposition to the Saskatchewan Party government deal than simply policy.

Provincial Politics

Dissatisfaction with losing the Sask. Party Thunder Creek nomination to now-Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart has long been seen as one of Swenson’s motivations for revitalizing the old PC party.

Swenson has been joined

by Melville lawyer and fellow Grant Devine-era PC cabinet Grant Schmidt, who won the Melville-Saltcoats Sask. Party nomination but saw the win overturned by the party hierarchy. Up until now, the PCs didn’t seem to care about much more than their personal/political vendettas.

But notwithstanding whatever their motivations may be, the PCs are now giving Saskatchewan rural voters something they really haven’t in

quite content seeing Saskatchewan’s 40,000 farmers reduced to 10,000, he said. “I think part of it is philosophical with these guys; bigger is better.”

Of course, with the Sask.

Party taking three-quarters of the vote in half the rural ridings in the 2011 election and winning every rural seat with more than 50 per cent of the vote, the PCs are hardly a threat to the Sask. Party.

But that may work to the PCs’ advantage.

For years now, the choice for many rural voters was strictly about what one party could beat the NDP that seemed removed from the free-market farm economy.

However, with the NDP no threat to form government anytime in the foreseeable future, the re-emergence of the PCs may become an option for unhappy rural voters to still send a message to the Sask. Party government.

And rural voters haven’t had many options for a long time.

Reader Opinions Higher seed royalties will hurt farmers’ bottom line What is UPOV’91 – Bill C-18?

The Agricultural Growth Act is an omnibus bill introduced on December 9, 2013. Omnibus bills amend many pieces of legislation at once, often on unrelated matters. Omnibus bills make it impossible to fully examine each proposed change.

Under C18, Plant Breeders Rights (PBR) apply to newly bred varieties that are essentially derived from PBR-protected varieties, allowing plant breeders to exercise control over the results of future plant breeding.

Bill C18 allows for collection of end-point royalties (EPR) if royalties are not first collected

some time … real choice.

Swenson contends land ownership issue “draws a line between the PC party and the Sask. Party” that will likely have a lot of similar policies.

One of the prouder accomplishments of the Grant Devine government was changes to the Farmland Security Act that placed restrictions on the ability of trust companies to own farmland, he said.

Certainly, he could also point to the PC government’s $25 per acre loans and securing of billion-dollar farm subsidies in the 1980s as further evidence of the Devine government’s desire to keep as many farm operations viable as possible.

While the PC leader said he has no problem with other Canadians owning Saskatchewan farmland, he does have a problem with large corporate interests buying large swaths of Saskatchewan farmland and driving up rental prices.

By contrast, the Sask. Party Agriculture Ministry seems

on seed. An EPR system would require compulsory payments by farmers to the plant breeder upon sale of a crop grown from a PBR-protected variety.

The main beneficiaries of C-18 would thus be private breeders, including the large companies that dominate the global seed industry: Monsanto, DuPont, Pioneer, Syngenta, Limagrain, Land O Lakes, KWS, Bayer Cropscience, and Dow AgroSciences. Farmers would be at the mercy of these Multinationals.

Delisle: A town on the move and open for business

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Delisle is a town on the move. With new parks, subdivisions and industrial lots ready for sale, it is a community that is open to the idea of expansion.

Mayor Dave Anderchek, who has lived in the town four years and served on council for the same amount of time, said residents should expect a lot of changes in the coming years.

“For myself being the Mayor of Delisle my job is to promote the community I am in,” said Anderchek. “When you drive through Delisle on the highway you never get to appreciate it.”

The town recently finished a residential subdivision north of town, and is trying to attract companies to buy industrial south of the railway tracks. But there is lots of room to grow, said Anderchek.

“Delisle has been a quiet community for a lot of years and being so close to the city there is a lot of space between the stores, restaurants and

residential sub divisions.”

As a contractor Anderchek knows about the costs of setting up a business.

“If I was looking at purchasing land and building a facility in the city I would have to look at the cost of that parcel of land in Saskatoon and compare it to the cost of a parcel in Delisle,” said Anderchek. “The most expensive lots in our subdivision sell for $65,000 to $70,000 compared to Saskatoon which I estimate could cost between $100,000 to $120,000.”

This year a storage facility business opened up in town, SGI has plans to relocate its business on Main Street to a larger location, the town’s ball diamonds will be getting an upgrade and a residential building is planned to be constructed on land where the old Delisle Hospital was located.

Anderchek said town infrastructure in Delisle is a lot better than other communities surrounding Saskatoon. The amenities such as golf course, curling rink, ball diamonds,

hockey arena and its Junior B and Senior Hockey teams provide a sense of community pride and place for people to go to be entertained.

Delisle also has a great sports legacy, with NHL Hall of Famers Max and Doug Bentley proud to call Delisle home.

Anderchek said what makes the community of Delisle a great place to live is their openness to newcomers.

Anderchek is originally from Ontario, but he feels at home in Delisle.

“What I noticed over the past couple of years is how the people have opened up to me more,” said Anderchek.

“When you come to the town new and you are elected as mayor, you know there are challenges ahead, especially with developing relationships with people. Today I have lots of laughs with people and they want to see this community move forward.”

Another example is the community’s willingness to volunteer.

“If it wasn’t for local people

volunteering with programs such as Crops For Community or getting together to raise funds for a playground in the towns new subdivision nothing would be possible, said Anderchek.

A lot of development in Delisle hinges on the twinning of Highway 7 from Delisle to

Vanscoy, which Anderchek says is a wait and see process, but investors are still showing interest.

Anderchek said what makes progress possible is having hard-working council members and administrators who are willing to put the time in and who understand the need

Project offers housing option for intellectually challenged residents

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A newly-opened supportive housing complex in the RM of Corman Park south of Saskatoon will provide accommodation and care for ten adults with cognitive disabilities.

The $1.1 million Walters Lane Community Residence, located on Clarence Avenue a few kilometers south of Grasswood, is an innovative rental facility aimed at providing accommodation, health care and everyday living assistance for intellectually-challenged adults.

The privately-owned and operated project is in a farm setting, and is modelled on a similar project near Aberdeen called “Farm in the Dell.” Larry and Joan Grozell initiated the project in 2011 after viewing the Farm in the Dell.

“Our son, Bennett, is the inspiration for this new home,” said Larry Grozell in an interview at the project’s official opening on Monday, July 28. “We tried at one time to get him into the Farm in the Dell and it didn’t work out. But we saw what they had done in that setting and we really liked it.

We had this property and we thought we might be able to do something along those lines here. We wanted to ensure our son has a safe, secure place after we’re not around anymore, and we thought rather than just build a place for one young man, why not have something that will help many young people that face the same challenges as our son?”

Joan Grozell said as Bennett got older, the challenges the family faced increased.

“A few years ago, we realized we had to do something, because Larry and I won’t be here forever,” she said. “This is a big project, but we’re happy it’s gotten off the ground.”

Larry Grozell said programming for the residents is likely to evolve.

“The opportunities are all there,” he said. “We have farm animals including horses, chickens, goats, and so on.

We have a riding arena and a barn. But our primary focus right now is to get the project up and running.”

Shortly after beginning the project, the couple enlisted the support of the Saskatchewan Association for Community Living (SACL), a province-wide advocacy group for people with intellectual disabilities and their families.

SACL Executive Director Kevin McTavish said there is a serious shortage of affordable housing for young adults with intellectual disabilities.

He said because the residence is so close to Saskatoon, it provides them with not only a place to live that has the supports they need, but also gives them a chance to earn a living by finding employment.

“We’ve found that 75 per cent of people of working age that have intellectual disabili-

ties are unemployed,” said McTavish. “Walters Lane is an ideal location that will give the residents a chance to land jobs a short distance away in Saskatoon.”

The RM of Corman Park council approved rezoning of the property in December, 2011 to accommodate the multi-unit facility.

The provincial government kicked in $200,000 from its Summit Action Fund, which was created to help boost innovative and accessible housing initiatives.

“Our government is proud to help improve the quality of life of Saskatchewan people,” said Education Minister and MLA for Saskatoon Southeast Don Morgan at the grand opening. “This is a wonderful example of those funds being put to good use. This residence will provide ten adults with cognitive disabilities the supports they require so they can remain close to family and friends and participate in the community.”

The ten-unit facility includes a common kitchen and dining area, with ten individual bedrooms that have their own private bathrooms.

The care of the residents is being contracted to Bayshore Health Care.

Neighbourhood Watch would deter crime in Warman, say advocates

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Warman is a safe community with a low crime rate, and the best way to ensure it stays that way is to establish an active Neighbourhood Watch (NW) organization.

That was the consensus emerging from a public meeting in Warman on Wednesday, July 23. The meeting, aimed at gauging whether there was interest in starting a NW group, attracted about 30 people from across the city.

Another meeting, scheduled for the near future, will formally establish the Warman Neighbourhood Watch organization and elect a board of directors.

The new group has the support of the local RCMP detachment, according to Warman RCMP Staff Sergeant Kevin Weber, who attended the meeting as an observer and resource person along with RCMP Corporal Ray LaChance.

But it will be an arms-length, citizen-based group, and has no affiliation with the RCMP. Its role is to “look, listen and report” any suspicious or criminal activity within the community, according to Marshall Seed, one of the organizers of the meeting and an advocate of Neighbourhood Watch.

“It’s not a vigilante group or anything like that,” said Seed. “We don’t want people putting themselves on the front lines. This is a way of encouraging people to get to know their neighbours, to help others and keep an eye out for things that are unusual or suspicious.

“It’s all about preventing crime; taking away the opportunities.”

Mark Stiglitz, a co-organizer of the meeting, said he was surprised not only at the number of people who turned up, but also at the enthusiasm of participants and the range of constructive suggestions to emerge from the discussion.

“The open forum where everyone shared their concerns and came up with ideas for action was really positive,” said Stiglitz. “I think everyone agrees that while Warman is a city, it has a ‘small town’ atmosphere, and they want to maintain that feeling. This is a way

of staying out in front of the issue; a way of being proactive.”

Warman City Councilor Trevor Peterson, chair of the city’s protective services committee, said he’s excited about having a Neighbourhood Watch organization in the community.

“I think it will have a positive effect on deterring crime,” Peterson said. “We’re going to be putting up signs that let everyone know that this is a community where safety is a priority.”

The meeting explored a number of strategies for reducing the incidence of “crimes of opportunity”, including encouraging homeowners and vehicle owners to lock their doors and not leave valuables in open view. A website with crime-prevention tips was also suggested, as well as finding ways to get youth involved and ensuring there are positive places for older youth to gather for recreation. The group intends to involve the business community and the “Welcome to Warman” program in its efforts.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Kevin Weber said the police detachment is supportive of the program

“It’s all about preventing crime; taking away the opportunities...”

• Marshall Seed because the police need the support of residents in order to do their job.

“There are a lot of demands on our resources over a very large area,” said Weber. “In order for the police to make intelligent decisions about priorities and where to put our resources to achieve the best results, we need information on what is happening and where it’s happening and how often. That information is something that residents can help us with.”

Weber said the incidence of crime in Warman is low, but noted there are all types of crimes that take place in every community.

“Not all the crime that happens here is spillover from Saskatoon,” he said. “There are also local people that are responsible. It only takes about four to ten people to create a lot

of crime in a small community.

Recently we caught one adult and one young offender who were responsible for many offenses here in town, and things went quiet for a while after that.”

Seed said the general feeling of meeting participants is that they want to ensure Warman remains a safe community.

“Nobody’s under the impression that we have a crime wave or anything like that,” said Seed after the meeting.

“They’re very positive. They know the crime rate is low. But they see little incidents starting to increase and they want to nip it in the bud before things start to get out of hand.

“Another positive outcome is that we all get to know our neighbours better. Whether they’ve lived here for 40 years or a couple months, people want to keep this a safe place.

“This was a good start,” he added. “The next meeting will formalize the structure, and then we can go back to City Council with a plan of action.

The important thing is we’ve got the ball rolling now.”

Seed said the next meeting will decide on a formal structure for the group, as well as elect officers and “block captains” to ensure effective communication with members.

The group has a Facebook page and website, as well as an e-mail address for anyone interested in joining: warmannw@ gmail.com .

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said she welcomes the initiative, and noted the formation of a Neighbourhood Watch group is an indication that Warman is a “caring community.”

She pointed to an incident last winter where residents of Warman and Martensville initiated a fundraising effort to help a Saskatoon family. In that case, a handicapped teenage boy in Saskatoon who had been collecting bottles to raise money for a trip to England was robbed. People chipped in and collected a semi truckload of bottles, plus added other donations. She noted that initiative was launched through a Warman-Martensville ‘buy and sell’ website, and that Marshall Seed and his family provided a major spark in that effort.

Martensville lagoon improvements eliminate odour issues, council told

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A combination of increased levels of oxygen and constant monitoring has largely overcome the problem of odours emanating from the Martensville sewage lagoon.

Last summer, residents complained of offensive odours from the city’s sewage lagoon, located on the southern edge of the municipality. The odours were traced to a high buildup of bacteria at the bottom of the lagoon, and steps were initiated last summer and fall to correct the problem.

The issue has largely been overcome, according to Martensville Director of Public Works Joe Doxey. In a report to the Martensville City Council meeting on July 15, Doxey said there have been very few complaints about odours this year.

He said the lagoon is being constantly monitored to ensure it complies with all public health standards. The monitoring also gives operators forewarning in the event that odour issues once again start to develop.

“Current indicators are that the system is healthy,” said Doxey. “However, four air lines were removed to facilitate construction of the new force main. Entraining more oxygen is one of the simplest ways to

help mitigate odours.”

Doxey said all waste water systems do produce some odour naturally, and noted that the next major upgrade of the lagoon will likely include a more extensive odour abatement system.

Earlier this year, an emergency discharge plan was developed to deal with a situation where the lagoon may overflow due to inadequate discharge capacity. That plan was actually implemented in June during a heavy rainfall incident, said Doxey.

“The system has caught up and the auxiliary discharge has been discontinued as of July 10. The emergency plan included upstream and downstream monitoring, chlorine disinfection and chlorine removal.”

Martensville has entered into a long-term agreement with the City of Saskatoon to develop a joint wastewater project.

ATHLETIC PAVILION

The final touches on the Martensville Athletic Pavil-

ion (MAP) are well underway, and the facility should be open sometime in October, according to Martensville Recreation and Community Services Director Dave Bosch.

The $26 million, 50,000 square-foot facility will feature three full-size sports courts, an oval running track, meeting rooms, fitness facilities and other amenities. It is designed to connect to the expanded Martensville High School when that project is completed in 2016.

RCMP EXPANSION

The old Martensville City Hall building on Centennial Drive, which also houses the city’s RCMP detachment offices, is currently undergoing a study by Maurice Soulodre’s architectural firm to determine the cost of needed renovations.

The RCMP detachment is looking to expand its facilities until a regional RCMP office is built. Discussions on a regional RCMP facility are currently ongoing between the RCMP and the cities of Martensville and Warman.

The Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP) is slated to be completed and ready for use in October.

I just wish we had a solution for those bothersome mosquitoes. I have heard so many tricks from rosemary to garlic, from dryer sheets to neem oil, there are just so many alternative products to try.

Chris Hilash - Junior Planner

Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, however, here in Warman all standing water is sprayed with a water safe product or larvicide that keeps larvae from hatching.

What attracts mosquitoes most are dark clothing, perfume or sweet scents such as body washes, shampoos and hairspray. When you know you are going to be outside, avoid wearing these scented products that might attract mosquitoes. If possible, try to use unscented replacements. I have also recently read that bananas and beer, if consumed, can actually attract mosquitoes. Beer – say it is not so! I am sure many of you are hoping that this piece of trivia is a myth.

Prime mosquito feeding times are around dusk and dawn. Stay inside during those two peak times to avoid bites or cover up with light coloured clothing and use bug spray. You may find that using a fan will keep those nasty bugs away. Give it a try! Drag out that old oscillating fan, be it a table fan, a box fan or really any sort of fan will do and hopefully we can say goodbye to the annoying buzzing and biting.

Josh Welz – Economic Development Officer Josh is a welcome addition to the team.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, JULY 31, 2014

big changes

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Construction crews were busy last week doing landscape work on the grounds of the Martensville Civic Centre. The Civic Centre and the new Martensville City Hall are located on city-owned land at the corner of Centennial Drive and Main Street. The parking lot of the new City Hall was recently paved and sidewalks and handrails installed on the main entrance to City Hall. The Martensville Civic Centre grounds are currently being upgraded with a new parking lot. The interior of the Civic Centre has also seen changes, as the Martensville Library was recently expanded, and the Martensville Community Access Centre is being relocated to new, renovated office space within the buildling.

Garbage Warman council votes to annex land for residential growth doesn’t belong in alleys, says bylaw officer

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Keeping the back alleys clean is a priority for Warman Bylaw enforcement Officer Wade Eberle.

“Alleys are a constant problem,” said Eberle in a recent interview. “People tend to think that just because it’s not on the front street, it’s okay to dump stuff like grass clippings, garbage, old lumber and even car parts. The bottom line is, it’s not okay. You wouldn’t dump that stuff on your neighbour’s property. It’s the same with city-owned property.”

Eberle said garbage in the alleys hampers public works crews when they do grading and maintenance work.

“If they catch a piece of steel or something in their machine and it flies out, there’s the possibility of injury,” he said.

Eberle said dumping of any material in alleys behind residents’ homes is illegal.

“Bins are provided for the dumping of grass clippings, tree branches and garden materials,” he said.

He noted that the city has an anti-dumping bylaw that stipulates anyone found guilty of violating the bylaw is liable to a minimum fine of $100 and a maximum fine of $500. Subsequent offenses will result in fines ranging from $200 to $1,000.

The anti-dumping bylaw was enacted in 2010 after the City of Warman hired a bylaw enforcement officer.

“Something had to be done because here was a serious problem with garbage on city property and particularly in alleys,” said Eberle. “We had a nuisance abatement bylaw, but that only applied to private property. The new bylaw adopted in 2010 addresses the issue.”

Warman city council voted at its regular meeting on Monday, July 28 to annex a total of 909.3 acres on the north and south sides of Warman.

The land, most of which is owned by KH Developments, is currently in the RM of Corman Park.

KH Developments is the developer responsible for the Legends subdivision in the city’s north end and the Southlands development in the south end.

The land slated for annexation in the north would be primarily for residential housing, as

hearing at the beginning of the meeting. While the gallery in the council chambers was full, no one spoke against the annexation.

The RM of Corman Park council will vote on the annexation proposal at its next meeting on Monday, August 18.

Concept plans for both neighbourhoods will come before Warman council in August, and a public open house is slaetd for this fall.

The city has been in discussions with the RM of Corman Park for several months working out details of the annexation proposal. A formal proposal by the city was followed up

by a round of informal discussions.

Under the latest proposal, the City of Warman will pay Corman Park a tax loss compensation payment amounting to 22.5 times the tax levy for the current year.

The city has also agreed to take over maintenance on the north portion of Range Road 3051 from Central Street to the new Highway 305; and south of Central Street to the south side of the new Warman Memorial Gardens.

The proposal also includes development of a swale that would separate the new city boundaries from country res-

idential properties in the RM, while also improving drainage of surface runoff and stormwater.

In his presentation to council, Toth said the owners of one piece of property immediately north of the Legends Centre recreation complex were not in favour of the annexation. The proposal, therefore, excludes that property, which would remain an “island” of RM land within the city limits for the time being.

If the RM of Corman Park council also approves the annexation proposal, it will be forwarded to the provincial government for final approval.

TRAILERS AND RV PARKING Another bylaw currently on the bylaw enforcement officer’s priority list is ensuring that trailers, semi-trailers and recreational vehicles are not parked on the streets for extended periods.

Trailers and semi-trailers may not be parked on a street when they are not attached to a towing vehicle. Even when they are attached to a vehicle, the maximum they can remain on the street is two hours. After that they must be moved to an off-street location for a minimum of 24 hours. There is also a prohibition against parking trailers on a boulevard.

Recreational vehicles may not be parked on a street in Warman for longer than 48 consecutive hours.

well as the site for Warman’s new joint public-Catholic elementary schools. The new residential subdivision will be known as the Traditions Neighbourhood.

Land being annexed in the south end will be utilized to complete the existing Southlands development.

According to Warman Planning Manager Brad Toth, the new Southlands development will contain a large residential component, but will also have commercial and “service-commercial” areas in “appropriate locations.”

Guided by the Golden Rule

Warman nurse heads to Africa on medical mission

Devoted to bedridden wife, Warman senior’s passion for music, outdoors strong as ever

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

If you treat someone with respect, you’ll get the same in return.

That’s 86-year-old Aaron Bueckert’s philosophy.

“It’s the golden rule, sure it is,” said the resident of the assisted living wing in the Warman Mennonite Special Care Home (WMSCH). “That’s the way my life has been, all the way through.

“I always try to be friends with everybody, but I don’t have any patience for hypocrites. If they say one thing and do another, then we can’t be friends.

That’s just the way it is.”

But there aren’t too many people who aren’t friends with Aaron. His infectious grin and friendly nature have endeared him to other residents, staff and visitors of the care home over the past few years.

He and his wife, Anna, a resident of the special care unit of the WMSCH who is now confined to a wheelchair, moved into the assisted living unit together several years ago, but when her health deteriorated and she needed more care, she was moved to the special care unit. Aaron now resides alone in his suite, but he spends most of his time at his wife’s side, talking to her, feeding her, listening to music with her and generally keeping her company.

While she can’t speak anymore, Aaron says she still says a lot with her eyes.

The couple celebrated their

raised seven children, one of which was adopted.

“I remember our wedding day very well,” said Aaron, who still has the framed marriage certificate on a wall in his suite. “It was a good day. A really good day. She was a beautiful bride and she was always a good wife and a good friend. I owe her a lot.”

The couple never had a lot of money, but they were both used to working hard, making do, and treasuring the good moments. Those memories are very precious for Aaron because he’s preserving them not just for himself, but for his wife too. Anna’s recollections have gradually disappeared due to the progression of her Alzheimer’s Disease.

FISHING FOR TROUBLE

Aaron Bueckert spent most of his youth outdoors. Born on a farm near Neuhorst, his family later moved to another farm close to the east bank of the North Saskatchewan River six miles north of Langham. That was where he learned to live off the land and gained a life-long appreciation of nature.

“It was real pretty country,” said Aaron. “I learned all the different kinds of animals and birds and what they sounded like. I learned the German names of the birds. I enjoy nature and being outside. That’s where I belong.”

Aaron said he was always more interested in catching his dinner than growing it.

“That was where I learned how to fish. I got a lot of lickings because I used to sneak off and go fishing when I was supposed to be weeding the garden. But by golly, it was worth it. And even after I got a licking, everybody still ate the fish I caught.

“Sometimes I hung the fish in the stovepipe on top of the house to smoke them,” he added. “But with Mama, that was a no-no beAaron Bueckert helps his wife cause it backed up the chimAnna enjoy a dessert ney and the house filled up with smoke. So I got another 62nd anniversary this month. licking.”

“They call me Trouble around this place,” he said. “I don’t know why.”

TOUGH UPBRINGING

Growing up during the Great Depression was not easy, he confirmed.

“The Hungry Thirties were no fun,” he said. “I had three brothers and three sisters. We walked four miles to school.”

Aaron left home at an early age and worked at whatever jobs he could find, travelling across the country in search of work.

“I worked for farmers, ranchers, the railroad, logging camps, construction, you name it,” he said. “I saw a lot of the country up close, working my way across. The jobs I liked best were working with horses.”

He recalled one logging camp in eastern Canada where he was hired to train a pair of horses to haul logs out of the bush.

“These horses were being badly treated by the guy who was supposed to be in charge of them,” said Aaron. “He beat them pretty bad, and they were

DOWN TO EARTH MUSIC

Aaron’s other passion is classic country music. A devoted collector over many decades, his suite contains a library of rare 78s, 45s, LPs, cassettes and CDs; recordings that date back as far as the 1920s. Ranging from well-known artists like Jimmie Rogers, Gene Autry, Wilf Carter, Hank Locklin, Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers to one-hit wonders by the likes of Johnny Lane and the Spinners and the Chuckwagon Gang, Aaron’s collection would have been bigger if he hadn’t been reckless with some of his early acquisitions.

“I used to have a bunch of those really heavy discs that were about a quarter of an inch thick,” he said. “I used them for target practice. I used to love shooting stuff like that just for fun.”

He said he and Anna often spend hours listening to the old recordings.

“She loves the music as much as I do,” he said. “I take the records out sometimes and we sit here and listen to them, or I play the mouth organ.

That’s the only instrument I ever learned how to play.”

so mean they tried to kill me when I first started. But gradually, they got better as I treated them nice and gentle and gave them treats.

“I hooked them up to a big log one winter day,” he continued. “It was about 30 below, and they wouldn’t pull. So I just left them and went into the cookshack and had a coffee. Well, pretty soon I could hear something and I looked outside and here’s the horses coming with the log. They got used to pulling and turned out to be a good team.

“But they never forgot the guy who was mean to them,” he added. “If he ever came close to either horse, they remembered him and they’d try to hurt him.

“That’s the way it is, with animals or with people. If you treat them with respect, you’ll get respected back.”

In rough bush camps, respect was often earned with your fists, he reflected. “I got to be pretty good at boxing because I had to be to survive,” he said.

“In those places you had to look out for yourself.”

A registered nurse from Warman is preparing to join a Samaritan’s Purse team of specially trained medical practitioners from across North America to provide clinical care in Liberia to victims of the deadliest-ever outbreak of the Ebola virus.

The virus has killed more than 600 people in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone, and is threatening to spread to other West African nations. Ebola causes massive internal bleeding and usually has a mortality rate of 60-90 per cent.

Jolene Wiebe was scheduled to fly to Liberia on July 29 and will return August 31.

“I’m trusting God to help me care for the people who need my help,” she said. “I’m aware of the conditions and the danger but I know I won’t be facing either alone.”

Samaritan’s Purse, working alongside the Liberian government, the United Nations, and other relief organizations, has been deploying personnel from Canada and the U.S. since June 18 to combat the Ebola crisis. The care Samaritan’s Purse staff are providing—including fluid and electrolyte management, proper nutrition, antibiotics, etc.—is helping to reduce mortality rates but the highly contagious virus is continuing to spread.

For their own safety, doctors and nurses must don protective clothing—including boots, a surgical cap, a Tyvek suit, two sets of gloves, a facemask, goggles, and a water-proof apron— to safely care for Ebola victims.

Suiting up takes 30 minutes and decontamination can take another 30.

Jolene Wiebe also served with Samaritan’s Purse during the 2011 cholera outbreak in Haiti and after a typhoon hit the Philippines last year.

Anyone wishing to financially support Samaritan’s Purse’s emergency relief work in Liberia can call 1-800-663-6500 or visit SamaritansPurse.ca.

The Christian relief organization also welcomes Canadians’ prayers.

Warman athletes competing at Basketball Nationals

By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

The Legends Centre gyms in Warman saw some intense action the weekend of July 21-23 as the best female basketball players in the province tuned up for the Canadian Championships, slated for Edmonton later in the week.

Paul Humbert, head coach for the U17 girls team, explained that the selection process for the provincial elite teams began in April with an open invite for girls who wanted to try out.

Camps were held in Saskatoon for the north and in Regina for the south. From these camps, 25 players were invited to a follow-up weekend session and 12 players were selected for the team.

The Warman Wolverines Sr. girls basketball was well represented, with Janaya Brown on the U17 provincial elite team, Breanne Boy and Bailey Johnson on the U16 team, and Faith

Chelsea Misskey and Faith Reid of the U-15 Basketball Sask.

The U16 team, meanwhile, is also competing in the Western Canadian Championships this week. Results were not available at press deadline. All events are slated for the Seville Community Sports Centre in Edmonton.

Prior to the tournament, Humbert said his team was ready to compete. “We want to be in the top four in Canada and contending for a medal,” he said.

U15 coach, Wayne Morrison, also expressed optimism for the tournament. “We’ll be disappointed if we don’t come out of it with some kind of medal,” said Morrison. “That is not unusual for a Saskatchewan team, but this is a very high-end Saskatchewan team. We are very excited about what we’ve got here.” His optimism stems from the U-15 team’s great showing in Seattle earlier this month, where they won the consolation final in a major tournament. After losing their first two games the team won five games in a row. Then the team won both exhibition games against B.C. Coach Humbert also talked about the 8-day trip to Seattle and B.C. While his U-17 team had a 4-4 record on that trip they learned much to prepare them for the nationals.

“We played the right level of competition for us to get better,” said Humbert. “Playing against American players is real good.

the key. She is a very dominant defender and excellent leader on the court as well. She is someone who worked hard to get better. She’s a very determined young lady.”

U15 coach Morrison was very pleased to have Warman’s Faith Reid and Chelsea Misskey on the team. He stated: “They are great gals and two good athletes” He talked of Chelsea be-

ing very strong physically and always bringing lots of enthusiasm, while Faith being a very smart, hard working, disciplined player with a high basketball IQ. For all the girls involved, playing on the elite team gives them an opportunity to improve their skills as they compete against the best players from across Canada.

WHL team has high hopes for hometown hockey star

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Wyatt Sloboshan is back on home ice, and the high-scoring hockey star from Vanscoy couldn’t be happier.

The Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League (WHL) signed the former Saskatoon Contacts forward to a WHL Standard Education contract on Friday, July 25 in the team’s dressing room at Credit Union Centre.

“My goal has always been to play in the WHL, and Saskatoon is where I want to be,” said Sloboshan. “It’s my home town and it was really hard to pass up this opportunity. This is a great organization and I’m really excited to be part of something that’s going to be very special.”

Sloboshan said the fact that the Blades are in a rebuilding phase, and setting a new direction with a new head coach and general manager, also had an influence on his decision to sign with the team.

“Part of my decision was that I wanted to be able to step into the lineup and contribute right away,” said Sloboshan.

He said playing in front of a hometown crowd will add more pressure, but that doesn’t bother him. “I think it’s good to have local players in the lineup,” he said. “It helps the fans become a little more connected to the team.”

Sloboshan’s parents, Wally and Kerri Sloboshan, are happy to have their son back living at home while playing at the highest level. “As parents, it’s important for us to have him closer to home, and also to have him advance,” said Wally Sloboshan.

The Sloboshans are long-time Blades season ticket holders.

Blades general manager and head coach Bob Woods said Sloboshan is a young talent with a lot of promise.

“His goal is to make the NHL, and the WHL is the best way to get there,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity for him.

He’s a guy with great vision. He can skate. He has good hockey sense. He’s smart and he can score. He should get a very good opportunity to show us what he can do.”

The Blades acquired the rights to Sloboshan last season from the Swift Current Broncos. The Broncos selected Sloboshan in the third round (54th overall) in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft. He was a key piece in a trade last year when the Blades acquired him along with a second round pick, conditional third round pick, and Connor Sanvido in a trade that saw Nathan Burns head to Swift Current.

Last season Sloboshan scored 27 goals and added 50 assists for 77 points in 45 games of midget hockey at the Okanagan Hockey Academy. He was also a teammate of Blades forward Cameron Hebig on Team West at the World U-17 Hockey Championships last January. He played minor hockey in Saskatoon, including his first season of midget hockey with the Saskatoon Contacts when they won the provincial championship in 2012-13. That Contacts team included current Blades members Cameron Hebig, Nelson Nogier and Ross Hnidy.

Sloboshon will wear the number 13 on his jersey this season. While some consider that an unlucky number, he doesn’t give it a second thought.

“I don’t really care what number they give me,” he said.

“As long as I’m on the roster.”

Blades training camp set for Legends Centre

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Saskatoon Blades are returning to Warman for their training camp.

The team will be in Warman for a couple of weeks beginning on Wednesday, August 20 and running till Saturday, September 6, confirmed Blades Assistant General Manager Steve (Hilty) Hildebrand.

“The on-ice sessions start August 21,” said Hildebrand in an interview July 25. “We’re looking forward to it. We have 65 to 70 kids coming and it’s going to be a very competitive camp with lots of jobs up for grabs.”

Hildebrand said the team will also host a pre-season

game against the Prince Albert Raiders at the Legends Centre in Warman on Saturday, September 6. Proceeds from the game will be going to Warman Minor Hockey, the organization which is helping stage the event.

This marks the third year in a row that Warman has hosted the Blades training camp and pre-season game, and Hildebrand says a big part of the reason is the facility itself.

“It’s a good facility for us,” he said. “Not just the ice and the dressing rooms, but also the gymnasiums and meeting rooms and other amenities so close to the ice surface,

it makes it easier to organize things.”

Hildebrand said there’s a close connection between the Saskatoon-based Western Hockey League (WHL) team and the region just outside the large city’s boundaries.

“We were well-treated in Martensville when we had our training camp there for many years, and we’re experiencing the same thing in Warman,” said Hildebrand.

He said the team is hopeful they’ll sell out the pre-season game.

“The last two were packed, and we’re confident that people will want to see the new talent

on the team this year,” he said.

“We’re encouraging the public to come out to watch the training camp sessions. It’s open to the public, and it’s a great opportunity to see what the team will be like.”

Hildebrand said the signing of Vanscoy product Wyatt Sloboshan shows the team has confidence in the local talent.

But, he added, they’re going to be auditioning players from across western Canada and beyond.

“We have kids coming from Alberta, BC, Manitoba and Saskatchewan,” he said. “We have some coming from California and Alaska.”

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, JULY 31, 2014

Quality is job number one for Ford...and for the Riders As the fans giddily skipped down the ramps and out of Mosaic Stadium Saturday night following the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ 37-9 trouncing of the Toronto Argonauts, country star Toby Keith’s song “How Do You Like Me Now?” blared through the stadium speakers.

Frankly, it couldn’t have been more appropriate.

This 2014 CFL season is still in its infancy, at the stage of a toddler, and yet the Green & White have been endlessly dissected and picked apart through their opening three games. They were 1-2 in that stretch which left them in the West Division cellar before being rescued by a bye week.

And did it ever come at a good time. Whatever Rider coach Corey Chamblin told them going into that nine day break, it worked. And once they emerged for Day 1 of their practice week to get ready for the Argos, Chamblin preached that it was going to be a brand new season. A fresh start.

So that left us all on pins and needles going into Saturday’s game wondering how exactly the “new-look” Saskatchewan Roughriders would come out.

To me, it was going to signal what the rest of the season is going to be like. Or, at the very least, how the immediate road

SJHL Showcase games coming to Warman

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Over 100 of the best Junior A hockey players in the province will be coming to Warman at the end of September.

The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) Showcase event is slated for the Legends Centre from Sunday, September 28 to Tuesday, September 30.

The Showcase includes the top players from each of the twelve SJHL clubs: the Melville Millionaires, Nipawin Hawks, Yorkton Terriers, Humboldt Broncos, Battlefords North Stars, Kindersley Klippers, Flin Flon Bombers, Melfort Mustangs, Notre Dame Hounds, Weyburn Red Wings, Estevan Bruins, and the La Ronge Ice Wolves.

The teams will consist of players in the following age categories: 20 and 19 yearolds; 18 and 17 year-olds; and 17 and 16 year-olds. Each age group is slated to have two teams, and each of these teams will play one game against each other on Monday, September 29 and Tuesday, September 30.

According to the SJHL, the format is aimed at allowing the scouts to see the top 120 players in the SJHL in the various age groups. The players are chosen by the coaches of each SJHL club.

In addition to the SJHL showcase, the Legends Centre is also hosting a game featuring the top 80 players from the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League. The SJHL is presenting the game, which will be played on Sunday, September 28. Game times for all games will be announced closer to the event.

ahead would look.

TA-DAH! The Roughrider defense forced turnovers on the first two Toronto possessions and cashed in with a pair of touchdowns to give Saskatchewan a 14-0 lead before most fans had finished their first Pilsner.

We forgot to mention running back Will Ford, the former Blue Bomber, was making his Saskatchewan debut after signing only a few days before.

The South Carolina State product shone, rushing for 113 yards

and three touchdowns in the decidedly one-sided contest.

“It’s a brand new season,” Chamblin told us after the game. “We re-tooled some

things, with personnel, and the way we practiced, and it provided a spark. We stayed aggressive to the end. They were a little under-manned, we know

that, but we kept playing till the end. “ The coach continues to say the right things. Of course the Riders are going to be scorned by many that Toronto was missing its top three receivers. So what? However Chamblin was quick to note that and he maybe even passed that on to his players after the game in order to keep their heads from being too swollen.

Corey’s motto seems to be the same as many championship coaches; smack ‘em when

14075MF00

they’re up and build ‘em up when they’re down.

It works. And what an exhilarating win it was to prove what exactly these 2014 Saskatchewan Roughriders are.

They’re winners. They can play whatever style you want (when healthy), and they’re not going to let up.

What a relief. After a brief hiatus, it appears Roughrider Football has returned. I even got convinced the Toronto game CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

Hanley Merchants pitcher Rob Goring winds up during a game against the Prince Albert Lite Way Electric Blue Jays

The Warman Gems looked impressive heading into the quarter finals at the provincial Senior C Men’s fastball championships last weekend in Prince Albert.

Outscoring their opponents 46-11 in three round-robin games to qualify for the quarter-finals, the defending champions were hoping to keep the momentum going in the playoffs on the final day of the tournament.

They cruised to a 12-4 win over the Kelvington Comets, an 18-2 victory over the Leoville Loggers and a 16-5 win over the Saskatoon Merchants to grab top spot in their pool and a berth in the playoff round.

But they ran up against a brick wall during a quarter-final contest against the Prince Albert R&W Pirates. Ironically, the pitcher they couldn’t solve was one who plays for the Gems during the regular season in the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association league. Ryan Olde took leave from the Gems to play alongside his former teammates from Prince Albert at the tournament. He did his job, silencing the Warman team’s big bats.

The home runs, which up till then were a dime a dozen for Warman, suddenly evaporated.

It became a defensive struggle, and the Prince Albert team came out on top by a score of 9-5.

“It’s disappointing,” conceded Warman Gems left fielder Mike Stefanuk. “We just came up short when it counted.”

The Prince Albert R&W Pirates, meanwhile, were downed 10-7 the Moose Jaw Canadians in one of two semi-final games, while the other Prince Albert host team, the PA Lite Way Electric Blue Jays, were crushed 13-5 by the Pipestone Pirates.

The Ppipestone Pirates rolled through the entire tournament undefeated, winning seven straight games, including the championship final over Moose Jaw. They beat the Canadians 8-1 to claim the provincial title.

HANLEY BOUNCED EARLY

The Hanley Merchants, who finished second in last year’s provincials, were eliminated early in this year’s tournament. They finished the round-robin with a record of two wins and two losses, the same as the Saskatoon Tint Centre Cubs and the PA Blue Jays, but the Prince Albert team made the playoffs on the strength of their runs for and against record.

The tournament saw a total of 14 teams from across the province competing for the championship, including the Pipestone Pirates, Warman Gems, Hanley Merchants, Saskatoon Padres, Conquest Capitals, Dry Creek Penguins, Saskatoon Tint Centre Cubs, Regina Silver Screen, Kelvington Comets, Saskatoon Merchants, Leoville Loggers, PA R&W Pirates, PA Lite Way Electric Blue Jays and Moose Jaw Canadians.

Blades change up scouting staff The Saskatoon Blades look to be going on a powerplay after some internal changes.

Veteran leader Doug Molleken, 54, has signed a two year extension and will direct his focus on Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the United States as Director of Scouting, Eastern Region. The long-time head scout for the Blades will be surrounded by a few of his old birddogs and a lot of new talent.

Molleken’s partner will be Dan Tencer, 28, promoted from regional scout to Director of Scouting, Western Region, responsible for Alberta and British Columbia. Before coming to the Blades in 2013, Tencer was the host of the Edmonton Oilers Radio Network and Inside Sports for 7 years on Corus Radio, where he still co-hosts a radio show. Both men will report directly to Managing Partner Colin Priestner, who will oversee the bantam and European drafts, working closely with general manager Bob Woods and assistant general manager Steve “Hilty” Hildebrand.

“The amount of scouting, re-

search and conversations those three led put the Blades in a great position heading into that draft. Their work, combined with the reporting of our other scouts, led to the success we realized at the draft,” says Blades President Steve Hogle, who was eyewitness to both the work leading up to the draft as well as the decisions made at the draft table.

“This structure for scouting puts the organization in a great position for years to come,” adds GM Bob Woods. “Their passion is unrivalled, their organization is impressive and their talent is evident in the results.”

Highly respected Saskatoonbased scout Frank Dryka and Winnipeg’s Scott Unger are both back with the Blades and they are joined by a number of new scouts, each with impressive resumes.

“The quality of our people is absolutely stellar and they’ve already shown their input is outstanding. We are out for more than respect. We are out to win, added managing partner Colin Priestner.

Rider Insider was “must-win” however in reality, it wasn’t.

But it did help establish an identity for a young group trying to find its way.

“I never counted it a must-win,” Chamblin admitted. “We just had to win because I knew this team was built to win like all teams are. I knew this would be a team coming off the bye that was capable of winning games. There are still some things to fix but I think we’re headed in the right direction.”

It was a wonderful night under the lights at what Bob Hughes called the Grand Ol’ Lady, Mosaic Stadium.

I had a friend in attendance from Mississauga, a new business owner in Regina who sat by himself in Section 105. He said afterwards, “What a first game! I couldn’t have asked for anything better.”

There were good vibes all around and it didn’t go unnoticed by the coach.

“We had a good crowd tonight,” Chamblin smiled. “Rider Nation stood up tonight. It was all positive.”

So I ask you, how do you like them now?

Conquest Coyotes softball team off to Western championships in BC Submitted by

TERESA SHIRLEY

The Conquest Coyotes U16 Girls Softball team finished third at provincials, which were held June 27-29 in Regina.

This has earned them a spot to compete at the Western Canadian championship tournament in Duncan, BC, August 7 through to the 11.

The team is made up of girls from Conquest, Delisle and Milden/Dinsmore.

The girls had a fantastic regular season, finishing in first

place in the Saskatoon Minor Softball League. The playoffs, unfortunately, were rained out.

The girls played incredible at provincials, finishing the round robin with an impressive 4-0 record. This finish had them capture second spot in their pool to first place Regina Lazers, as Regina had a slightly better runs for and against record.

The girls won their first playoff game against the Regina Royals Saturday night before the remaining finals were rained out. The girls trav-

elled back to Regina the following weekend to finish playoffs. They beat the South East Hawks in extra innings to guarantee them a spot at Westerns. The Coyotes then played the Prince Albert Aces in the semi final. PA won that game and went on to be provincial champs over the Regina Lazers in a 1-0 game.

Prince Albert will move on to Nationals in Ontario later in August while the Conquest Coyotes and the Regina Lazers will travel to BC to represent Saskatchewan at Westerns.

SHOW AND SHINE PACKS PARKING LOT

Over a hundred car enthusiasts displayed their vintage automobiles at the Warman Home Centre’s annual Show and Shine on Saturday, July 19. The show has become so popular that there wasn’t enough room on the lot to accommodate all the classic cars and trucks.

The crowd gathers as the start of the final Mierau Auction Sale gets underway at the Regier farm west of Waldheim on July 19

(Photo submitted by Sean Brockest)

Longtime and popular auctioneer calls it a career

By TERRY JENSON

tjenson@ccgazette.ca

On this cloudy and unseasonably cool July day, Mierau is not celebrating his final sale alone. His wife Helen is keeping things organized in the payment trailer and pretty much his entire family is also with him.

All three generations of Mieraus are watching and helping where they can, including his two children and nine grandchildren.

At most of his sales, Mierau keeps

Nearly 40 years after starting in the auction business, Richard Mierau banged his gavel for the final time July 19 and proclaimed the last item on the block sold.

With a farm yard full of customers – most of them friends, actually – Mierau spent the hour leading up to the sale visiting, reminiscing and joking with many of those friends and acquaintances. But, as 11:00 neared, it was time to go to work and sell off a wide range of tools, household items and farm equipment at the Regier place just east of Waldheim.

“You have mixed emotions because it’s the last sale, but we are ready for it,” Mierau said in the moments leading up to the sale.

“Actually last fall was our last sale – what we thought would be the last sale – but this one we couldn’t fit in last year so I said we’ll do one next year and we’ll have lots of time. (The Regiers) picked the the 19th of July so we Richard Mierau conducted his final knew that retirement was after sale after 37 years in the business this.”

Mierau began his auctioneering caabout 10 staff busy catching bids, proreer 37 years ago and figures he has cessing payments in the trailer and conducted nearly 5,000 sales since that generally ensuring everything runs time. He worked for some others, insmoothly from set-up to finish. Today, cluding Keith Talbot of Outlook as however, he figures there is about 15 well as Norm Braun who gave Mierau helping run the sale. his start in the business in 1978.

Stay cool without air conditioning Reducing reliance on air conditioning can lower energy bills and benefit the environment.

Before turning on your air conditioning unit this summer, consider these cooling tips.

Keep the blinds and shades drawn.

Sunlight entering a home can quickly create a hot-house environment. To prevent such a situation from materializing, draw the curtains or blinds, particularly on windows that are south- or west-facing. This will cut down on the amount of heat that enters the home.

Use cool water.

Run your hands, head and feet under cold water. This will cool down the blood in key pressure points of the body and keep you feeling cool for an hour or more.

Switch to LEDor CFL bulbs.

Incandescent bulbs produce more heat than light, contributing to warmer ambient air.

Light-emitting diode or compact fluorescent lights not only use less energy but also run much cooler.

Run fans in a counter-clockwise position.

Ceiling fans come equipped with a switch that enables you to change the blades’ spinning direction. Counter-clockwise will draw the cooler air up from the floor and distribute it throughout the room.

Change your home’s color scheme.

A light-colored roof and siding will help reflect the sun’s rays rather than absorb them. This can make a home considerably cooler.

Plant shade trees.

Trees can stop sunlight from baking a home or backyard. Trees also absorb and sequester carbon dioxide emissions, which makes them beneficial to the environment for a variety of reasons.

Open windows and doors at night.

Open windows to allow cool nighttime air to enter. Open interior doors (including closets) to allow trapped, hot air to be released. This may help cool the home down a few degrees.

Avoid steam and heat-producing appliances.

Dishwashers, ovens and hot showers can add extra heat to an already warm home.

Wait until the evening before running appliances. Stick to cool showers and cook outdoors if possible.

Insulate your home.

A home that has a well-insulated attic and walls will keep the heat out of the house during the hotter months of the year.

Air conditioning systems use a great deal of energy, but eco-conscious homeowners can explore other methods of keeping cool to help lessen their reliance on air conditioners this year.

time for a check-up!

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