SASKTEL LAND REQUEST
Scott Land & Lease Ltd, on behalf of Sasktel, contacted the RM Administration with a request to lease a portion of the RM’s lot located on Pinehouse Drive. The lease request includes a 3 x 10 metre piece of the property and vehicle access through the parking lot to accommodate a 35m stealth pole and two equipment cabinets. In addition, buried fibre optics cable and power would be installed to the site at SaskTel’s cost and once constructed SaskTel would expect to access the site once a month. SaskTel is requesting a 10 year lease with an option for a 10 year renewal and typically pays $5,000 per year for a site this size. The lease commencement would be subject to a favorable public consultation based on City of Saskatoon An-

Southbound traffic between Hague and Rosthern has been reduced to one lane
Repaving underway north of Hague Crews are hard at work on a $5.5 million repaving project on Highway 11 near Hague. “Highway 11 serves a growing number of shippers, tourists and other motorists,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “That’s why we’re continuing to invest in this crucial gateway to northern Saskatchewan. Remember to always slow to 60 km/hr when passing through the work zone so this important work can be carried out as safely as possible.” Southbound traffic will be reduced to one lane during construction and drivers should watch for equipment and workers. Completion of the project is targeted for this fall, subject to weather. The final phase of Highway 11 twinning was completed in 2013, meaning Saskatchewan’s three largest cities – Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert – are now connected by four-lane divided highway. The repaving at Hague is taking place on the older, southbound lanes. The repaving project began on Tuesday, August 5 and is expected to be completed by this fall. The work involves repaving southbound lanes from 13 km to 1 km south and from 3 km to 9 km north of the Hague access, as well as the Neuanlage access. Traffic may be reduced to one lane and speed limits will be reduced during the construction period. Motorists are advised to watch for equipment and workers. Construction work on the new Highway 305 between Mar-
Roadwork begins on 10th Ave. South in Martensville Construction is set to resume on a major road project in Martensville this month. The City of Martensville has issued a notice that roadway construction is set to continue on 10th Avenue South (Rge Rd 3053) from Main Street (Twp Rd 384) south to Lutheran Road (Twp Rd 382). Granular sub-base, base and curbing will start on August 11, 2014. Asphalt Pavement will start in mid-September and is expected to be completed by the end of that month. During construction the roadway will be accessible to local traffic only. 10th Avenue South will be closed to through traffic. City officials advise motorists to exercise caution. tensville and Warman is on track, and should be completed later this summer, according to the Ministry of Highways. The Highways Ministry said in its weekly update that the $22.2 million project, which experienced significant delays last year due to wet condtiions, is still scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2014. Construction this season began the week of May 20. The project involves grading and paving about 18 km of new roadway between the junctions with Highways 11 and 12 on Range Road 3053, and intersection improvements on Highway 11 at the new location of Highway 305 north of Warman. The Highways Ministry says traffic should be prepared to slow down and may be reduced to one lane. Motorists are also advised to be aware of rough road conditions and the potential for blowing dust.
Highway construction crews are also working on upgrading Highway 27 near Vonda. The $5.4 million project involves grading of 15 km from the Prud’homme access road to near the west Vonda access road. The Highways Ministry says traffic should be prepared to slow down and may be reduced to one lane. The project is expected to be completed later this summer. An ongoing project that is still underway is the rehabilitation of the Petrofka Bridge on Highway 12 over the North Saskatchewan River north of Hepburn. The estimated cost of this project is $870,000, and involves concrete repairs, joint and bearing replacement. Traffic has been reduced to one lane. Over-width traffic is also restricted. The project is expected to be complete by this fall.
Dalmeny Mayor Allan Earle has resigned from the mayor’s chair and from town council. Earle offered his resignation at a Dalmeny Town Council meeting on July 28. His resignation was accepted by council. Dalmeny Deputy Mayor Joel Mireau said the resignation was unexpected, and noted that Earle did not offer a reason for his action. “But it’s well-known that Allan has been dealing with health issues, and a recent death in his family,” said Mireau in an interview pri-
or to the commencement of a meeting of Dalmeny Town Council on Monday, August 11. “Allan has served over twenty years on town council and we appreciate all he’s done for this community and for the region. He’s worked very hard.” Earle, who also recently served as President of the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) was not available for comment. The Dalmeny town council was also dealing with a controversial issue involving amendments to the town’s Official Community Plan and zoning bylaws which proposed a zoning change for a parcel of land along Highway 305 from commercial and residential to industrial. Many residents
opposed the change, citing health concerns and a potential drop in land values; while supporters of the change said it would attract more business operations to the town and lighten residents’ tax burden. A public hearing on the issue was held at the August 11 town council meeting. “It’s a difficult issue,” said Mireau. “There’s some stress on councilors.” At the August 11 meeting,, councilors set Wednesday, October 8 as the date for the Mayoral byelection. The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, September 3. Joel Mireau was appointed as Acting Mayor by council at the August 11 meeting, while Jonathan Kroeker was appointed Deputy Mayor.
Rezoning proposal fails to pass at Dalmeny council meeting By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A proposal to rezone a parcel of land in Dalmeny to accommodate the expansion of a crane manufacturing plant failed to pass at a Dalmeny Town Council meeting on Monday, August 11. The proposed bylaw, which would have amended the town’s Official Community Plan (OCP) and rezoned a parcel of land along Highway 305 from “commercial and future residential” to “industrial,” failed to pass because of a lack of a seconder. First reading of the bylaw had been introduced at a previous Dalmeny council meeting on June 9. The proposed change was requested by Indoc Crane Services Ltd, which manufactures and services industrial cranes for clients across the prairie provinces. The business was first established in Saskatoon and relocated to Dalmeny in 2008, according to Indoc Crane Services owner Dan Pryma. Pryma said he relocated to Dalmeny because he felt it was a good place to live and work, and said he believes encouraging more businesses to set up
shop in the town will lead to more growth and lower residential taxes. Pryma said his business has “donated a lot of time and effort” to the community by providing jobs, supporting commuity organizations and helping residents. The bylaw included a written agreement detailing the measures to be taken by Indoc Crane to reduce the impact on the neighbourhood. But opposition to the proposed expansion by a number of homeowners and residents in the community has been building since the proposal was first put forward. A public hearing during the council meeting on August 11 attracted about 30 people, both opponents and supporters of the proposal. The council meeting was moved to the Dalmeny Seniors Hall to accommodate the expected crowd. Tom Baxter, who lives near the existing facility, cited a number of health concerns including dust and residue from sandblasting operations, as well as excessive noise. Baxter said expanding the manufacturing plant would

also lead to a drop in property values. Baxter said opponents of the proposal are not opposed to business, but believe the location of the plant, which butts up against existing homes and planned future residential development, is the wrong location for this type of business. The existing OCP for Dalmeny lays out a future residential neighbourhood in the vicinity, located at the south end of Dalmeny west of the Highway 305 approach into the community. Dalmeny Deputy Mayor Joel Mierau chaired the meeting. The public hearing lasted approximately 90 minutes, allowing speakers from the gallery on both sides of the issue to state their views. Following the closure of the public hearing, councilors resumed their regular meeting. Councilor Doug Wilson introduced the proposed bylaw for second reading, but it failed to make it onto the table for debate because no other councilor seconded it. The issue was sent back to Dalmeny Town Administration and to Crosby Hanna and Associates, the firm contracted to prepare Dalmeny’s OCP.

The Dalmeny and Warman fire departments conducted joint live fire training Wednesday night, July 30. Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin said working together helps both departments, as the cooperation and coordination between them in a mutual aid situation is critical. “From being able to supply each other with water or firefighters or even use common radio channels seamlessly is essential in a real fire situation,” said Austin. “It was a very successful training session, and very worthwhile. Most area departments will meet on a real fire together every year and we all train similarly and work very well together which is priceless.”

Residents of South Corman Park lost a local landmark during a major storm on Thursday, July 17. The big solo tree that everyone would see on the way to the Fred Heal canoe launch went over. I have lived in the area for over 20 years and called the tree, “the big tree.” While it had appeared mostly dead, it still stood tall for all those years. Its history goes back much longer than that. I am sending pictures taken during the 1948 flood where it is standing tall in the ice from that flood. I have pictures from the 2013 flood and the 2011 flood. We never thought to take pictures of the tree when there was no flood. Too bad. I have pictures of it lying in the field. It was a land mark and we will miss it. It had stood during floods and drought and

Listening and acting Bill C-30 too little, too late for farmers will build support for resource industries There is some good news in the fact that we aren’t expecting a bumper crop like the one we had last year.
By Len Coad Director of the Centre for Natural Resources Policy
COMMENTARY
Western Canadians have a few action-oriented words of advice to resource developers. They know that you create jobs and income. They know about your efforts to build communities and protect the environment. But they want you to improve. Resource industries looking to build support need to spend more time in communities learning about their expectations. A poll commissioned by the Canada West Foundation provides revealing clues of what they might learn. Our pollster, Ipsos Reid, surveyed residents in the four western provinces, plus Ontario for comparison purposes. Questions were designed to dig into the details of our familiarity, trust and support for resource industries. The purpose was to test peoples’ attitudes, and it found a number of examples of polarization. For example, the most common reason given for trusting forestry was environmentally sustainable practices; the most common reason for not trusting forestry was that it does not follow sustainable practices. For energy and mining, supporters see economic benefits, detractors see profit motives. The dichotomy is clear. The question is what to do about it, and how to find the right balance between improving performance and communicating what is being done. For example, respondents expressed strong concern over public health and safety even though resource companies and projects are already meeting a very high standard. As society becomes more fragmented, and as advocates fight for our hearts and minds, it is increasingly unlikely that better communication is the ‘what to do’, especially for an industry seeking to defend or improve its record. Instead, the outreach needs to focus on understanding and closing the gap between performance and expectations. Westerners, and especially Albertans, see energy contributing more strongly to the economy than farming. They also see resources as a key contributor to our future, and want to see all four resource industries expand. However, performance is seen as lagging in such key areas as environmental protection, health and safety, and contributions to local communities. While business leaders may see such low performance ratings as unfair, the public’s perception is clear and strong. The path forward ought to start with a better understanding of the performance gap followed by improvements and eventual public support based on improved outcomes. The survey also explored perceptions of the role of government. Western Canadians believe that governments exert the strongest influence on resource development, followed in order by non-government agencies (including industry associations), regulatory tribunals, conservation agencies, environmental NGOs, the general public and Aboriginal Canadians. Respondents said that one of their main reasons to trust resource industries is government regulation, yet they are looking for better outcomes in key regulatory areas like environmental protection and health and safety. If governments can better understand and deliver the regulatory outcomes people are looking for, it will help build trust and support. The bottom line here might simply be that we expect our governments to be as effective at representing resource owners (the public) as companies are at representing shareholders. The survey results indicate clearly that westerners want a better balance between the three sustainability themes: economic benefits, environmental protection and societal development. Deliver it and those who oppose everything will have a tougher job and, more importantly, public support for resource development will grow. Fail to find that balance and individual projects will continue to be dogged by broader issues. So, what does listening to communities look like for resource industries and governments? Look at it as you learning about them, rather than vice versa. Don’t tell them you understand, and don’t ask them to understand you. Just ask them what matters and what to do about it. Act on what they say. And stay miles away from lightning rod positions like pointing to increased costs or competitiveness as a reason for not acting or even for constraining your willingness to act. Len Coad is Director of the Centre for Natural Resources Policy at the Canada West Foundation, which exclusively focuses on policies that shape the quality of life in western Canada.

Provincial Politics
It shouldn’t be quite as big a struggle to get the grain to port this winter. But this should come as little solace to rural Saskatchewan farmers who still must contend with a federal government that still isn’t tough enough on the railways. Whatever hope we had last winter that the Conservative government in Ottawa and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz would quite literally lay down the law and make the movement of grain the priority for the railways has simply not come to fruition. Simply put, Ritz and his federal government could have and should have done more, although perhaps it’s not completely fair to blame all the problems on their inaction. Several factors did not work in farmers’ favor. For starters, that 76-milliontonne crop that came off prairie farm fields was the largest in Western Canada and would have been problematic under the best of circumstances. The same can be said for the extremely cold winter that delayed shipping even more. But even with this reality, much of the $7.2 billion to $8.3 billion in lost income faced by Western farmers; who need a bumper crop every now and then to make their operations viable; could have been avoided with great restrictions on
disclosure from CN and CP on the grain that they do move to better monitor their overall performances; increased clarity of the operational terms in a service level agreement that can be arbitrated by the Canadian Transportation Agency, and; improvement on interswitching. The regulations also put into law the federal order-incouncil from last March that ordered the railways to increase shipments by one million tonnes or 11,000 cars a week. But both the Saskatchewan Party government and the federal Liberal and NDP oppositions rightly note that volume needed to be higher to deal with the backlog and now this only preserves the status quo. And even that status quo is rather short-lived as these regulations are set to expire in two years. Simply put, this is produc-
ing a lost marketing opportunity for Saskatchewan farmers for the 2013 crop year and little hope of getting ahead in the future. Moreover, even if we have an average crop of 50 million tonnes or so in 2014; a likely outcome; there still is that 17-million-tonne backlog carried over from the 2013 crop. Again, that makes it very difficult for farmers to get ahead of the game. And while the laws may now allow individual producers to sue for damages, that right doesn’t extend to their representative farm agencies that would be more effective. As has been the case for some time, the railways will continue to move grain at the convenience of their business. That will continue to mean after more profitable contracts with the oil companies. The federal government’s bill doesn’t go far enough.
First Nations Transparency law a good first step Commentary by Joseph Quesnel and Nicolas Allarie Frontier Centre for Public Policy Earlier this month was the deadline for First Nations to comply with the divisive First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA). The FNFTA requires First Nations all over Canada to post their audited financial statements and the salaries and benefits of elected officials on both a publicallyavailable website and the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada website. Despite the pushback from First Nations leaders, transparency and accountability are key components of good governance. International standards have established that transparency is a universal norm that

exactly what the railways should be allowed to get away with. Yes, they are private companies, but they also run a monopoly transportation system heavily subsidized over the years by the fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers of Western Canadian farmers. The new regulations to Bill C-30, the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act, unveiled earlier this month, needed to keep that in mind. Certainly, Ritz got plenty of rhetoric in his Saskatoon announcement earlier this month by proclaiming he was creating “a rail supply chain that farmers and all shippers can depend on”. But farmers needed more than rhetoric. Sure, there were some good elements to the new regulations including: a requirement that railway companies move a minimum grain volume between Aug. 3 to Nov. 29; more

all governments should strive towards. In 2009, the Centre for First Nations Governance—a nonprofit that supports the selfgovernance of First Nations— released a Governance Best Practices Report in which they laid out several principles that contribute to good governance. Transparency and fairness is one of the seventeen governance principles they promote and present Westbank First Nation in British Columbia as a case in point. The report found that increased transparency and accountability in Westbank First Nation stabilized governance, increased economic growth on the reserve, and resulted in a “growing respect for the government from citizens and from

external businesses and governments.” Clearly transparency can benefit First Nations communities, so why are some chiefs and First Nations leaders complaining about a law providing basic transparency to the public? Up to now, bands were required to provide this sort of information to Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada. Band members, however, often found they could not access this information for their own viewing and frequently went to the media or the Canadian Taxpayers Federation with their complaints about a lack of transparency within their First Nation. A preliminary look into how many bands across Canada actually post this information
already on websites demonstrates that just over 10 per cent of bands in Ontario and 7 per cent of the bands in the three Prairie provinces post their financial information. This qualifies as a very small minority of bands who actually post this information already in just these two regions. Clearly, a troubling minority of band residents feel there is a lack of transparency on their First Nation. Having something like the First Nations Financial Transparency Act in place will go a long way towards encouraging good governance among First Nations communities. It’s time we recognized that transparency is a universal norm and expand it to include First Nations communities here in Canada.

Upgrades to rail spur for organic canola oil plant would benefit local farmers By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The RM of Corman Park was asked about their development plans for a lot located in North Corman Industrial Park during a presentation from a delegation at the RM’s council meeting on Monday, July 21. Jason MacNevin, product development manager of Virtex Farm Foods Ltd, requested council to grant a lease to his company for a lot owned by the RM of Corman Park that is located within the industrial park, as well as a rail spur directly adjacent to it. MacNevin said during the meeting that his company plans on using ten rails cars a week to ship grain and organic canola oil for sale. He also said his company is already in talks with buyers in Washington State who are interested in buying oil and organic canola seed. Right now the lot is unoccupied, but it contains a loading ramp for loading and unloading into tractor trailer units, and provides access to the CN Rail Spur located adjacent to the park. Originally the intent of the lot was to provide public access to the rail spur for all owners within the development. The rail spur is owned by CN Rail. However at the time of development of the industrial park, it was leased to the RM. The biggest issue with the

Be prepared for summer storms, says Martensville EMO Coordinator Summer storm season is in full swing in Saskatchewan. But taking the time to prepare in advance, you may be able to lessen the impact of a severe storm, according to Tracy WIlson-Gerwing, Emergency Measures Coordinator for the City of Martensville. In a news release issued in early August, Wilson-Gerwing said the first step to being prepared is knowing what types of storms are possible in the area. The second step is to make an emergency plan for your household. The third step is to have an emergency kit with enough supplies to last for 72 hours while emergency workers aid those in urgent need of help. “It all sounds pretty straight forward, but while many people recognize the need for an emergency plan and a 72 hour emergency kit, only about 40% of Canadians have bought or built one ,” said Wilson-Gerwing.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS?
Wilson-Gerwing said the greatest weather risks during the summer in our area are severe thunderstorms. “These thunderstorms can bring high winds, lightning, heavy rain and hail,” she said. “Tornadoes are sometimes formed during severe thunderstorms. “In general, when a severe storm hits, take shelter in a building with a strong foundation and stay away from windows, outside walls and doors. If no shelter is available, look for a ditch or other low lying
area but do not lie flat. It is safest to minimize your contact with the ground by crouching down with your feet close together and your head down, as if someone was going to jump over you during a game of leap frog.”
PLANNING IS KEY
Wilson-Gerwing said it is important to know what to do in case of an emergency. “As a family, talk about what could happen and what you should do if there is a severe storm,” she said. “Remember that your family may not be together when a storm or other emergency occurs.” The Martensville EMO Coordinator said developing an emergency plan does not have to be a difficult task. The Government of Canada’s Get Prepared website has a template that can be filled in online in eight steps and printed off. The eight steps can also be found at www.martensville.ca under the Emergency and Protective Services Department and the Emergency Measures Organization tab.
WHAT”S THE PLAN?
Wilson-Gerwing said the eight steps involved in an emergency plan are: 1. Identify escape routes 2. Establish meeting places 3. Designate an alternative person to pick up your child(ren) from school/daycare 4. Write down your health information, medications and medical equipment
5. Decide where pets will go during an emergency 6. Write down instructions for specific risks 7. Write down emergency contact information 8. Write down locations of emergency kit, fire extinguisher etc
EMERGENCY KITS
If an emergency situation should arise, individuals need be prepared to be self-sufficient for 72 hours without power or tap water. “If we look around our homes, many of us have the basic items we need for an emergency kit,” said Wilson-Gerwing. “The problem is that if we are forced to leave our homes in a hurry, there really isn’t time to run around and find all of the items we need.” You can either build your own kit or purchase a commercial one, she said, adding that it’s important to ensure the kit is easily accessible. She said the general components of an Emergency Kit include: Food and Water, Shelter, Lighting and Communication, First Aid and Sanitation. Additional information about severe storm preparation and what to do during a storm is available on the Government of Canada’s “Get Prepared” website (www.getprepared.ca). To receive information in the event of an emergency or severe storm warning, please sign up with the City of Martensville’s Notify me–Emergency Alert Center.
Storm Facts
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
Thunderstorms usually only last an hour, but a series of thunderstorms can last several hours. Hail stones can be as big as grapefruits. Up to 160 people a year are injured during thunderstorms in Canada. To estimate how far away lightning is, count the seconds between the flash of lightning and the thunderclap. Each second is over 300 metres. If you count less than 30 seconds, take shelter. Tornadoes can move up to 70 km/hour. Canada averages about 50 tornadoes a year. A tornado may be moving towards you even though it looks like it is standing still.

Prairie Diner TV series will feature Legends restaurant this season By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Western Canadians will receive a second helping of home grown recipes and unique eateries when Prairie Diner starts filming Season 2 this week. Prairie Diner is a 13-part half hour food series that features restaurants as well as unusual characters, culture and food all across Western Canada. The series, which is broadcast by City Saskatchewan, received rave reviews last year and hopes to continue that trend this year, said Director John Barnard. “I think when people picture restaurants they think the most exciting thing you might find is a steak house. That is not true at all,” said Barnard. “Chefs come from everywhere and go everywhere. The flip side of the local coin is that people are making a big deal out of locally-sourced ingredients.” Barnard said locally-sourced ingredients is something he noticed in big city restaurants, but never expected to find in smaller community restaurants. Last season Prairie Diner taped shows in Calgary, Banff, Winnipeg, Brandon, Portage
la Prairie, Saskatoon and various rural locations in Saskatchewan. This season will feature the Legends Restaurant in Warman, which was recorded on Tuesday, August 12. Other eateries featured this season include Saskatoon’s Saboroso Brazillian Steakhouse, Rook and Raven, the Congress Beer House, Ayden Kitchen and Bar, and Bon Temps Cafe. The program is hosted by Comedian and Actor Jody Peters. Peters, whose resume includes stand-up and voice-over acting, said witnessing the work that goes into making a restaurant successful was a little intimidating. “What I learned from the show last season is that I really do not want to run a restaurant. There is an incredible amount of work that goes into it,” said Peters. “When you go out to a restaurant you never see what happens behind the scenes. These guys are working in a high-stress environment, face a lot of pressure and scrutiny but they still have a good time.” Peters, who always gets the opportunity to taste the meals during each taping, said the most interesting meal he ate was duck feet.
“They tasted better than I thought they would but the texture was really strange,” said Peters. He was also impressed by the creativity and research that went into recipes by local chefs. “There were a lot of variation on things. We had this steak that was done with chocolate and coffee. It was a real mishmash of flavours but it tasted fantastic,” said Peters. “In Winnipeg we had a guy who cured scallops with ash from roasting vegetables. I asked where that idea come from and he said from years and years of trying.” The show was designed with the idea of creating more local content, which Barnard said is something viewers are demanding. “It is part of the globalization of media and the fact that somehow things are supposed to get more specific and local somehow are not.” Barnard said this season the show will take viewers to places in Western Canada they have never been before. “We are breaking down the walls. Experimenting with new things, restoring the comedy a bit more, just playing around and having fun,” said Barnard.

Warman Mayor to serve on committees for national municipal organization By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence is heading to Montreal in early September to take part in committee meetings for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). Spence, one of eight delegates from Saskatchewan on the national voluntary-membership organization that represents hundreds of municipal governments across Canada, has been appointed to three FCM standing committees. She will be part of discussions for the Environmental Issues and Sustainable Development Committee; the International Relations Committee; and a third committee whose mandate is to increase women’s participation in municipal government. “I’m quite excited to be part of this process,” said Spence in an interview on Friday, August 8. “Warman has been part
of the FCM for a couple of years now, and I think it’s a very good organization that does a lot of excellent work on behalf of local governments. I’m looking forward to contributing whatever I can to the discussion.” Spence said she was selected for the committees after submitting her name at the end of last year. The FCM president appoints committee members based on their interests, knowledge, expertise and geographic area they represent. Spence said she’s keenly interested in the work of all the committees. “Certainly increasing women’s participation in local government is important,” she said. “I think it’s critical to have good gender balance at all levels of government because it brings different perspectives to issues. When I first got elected to Warman council, I was the only female representative, but I’ve been lucky to have worked with colleagues that have al-
ways been very respectful and constructive.” Spence has promoted environmental issues and sustainable development at the local level in Warman, and says she’s looking forward to participating in the discussion at a national forum. The work of the international relations committee will likely mean a bigger learning curve for her, she concedes. “That will be something very new to me,” she said. “I have really focused my time on our region, and to a certain extent the province, so it will be interesting to see the bigger picture.” The FCM committee meeting are slated for September 3 to 6 in Montreal. The FCM was founded in 1901 and its mandate is to foster the development of sustainable communities and improve the quality of life for Canadians by promoting strong, effective and accountable municipal governments.

SUMMER SCIENCE
Budding scientists have a blast at library By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Kids in Aberdeen and Langham got a taste of how much fun scientific discoveries can be during two separate “Go! Science Outreach” sessions by the Saskatchewan Science Centre on Thursday, August 7. The Go! Science sessions, entitled “Dreamers and Makers,” were presented through the Aberdeen and Langham branches of the Wheatland Regional Libraries. The Aberdeen workshop was in the morning, while the Langham presentation was in the afternoon. During the session in Aberdeen, kids learned the basics of inventions and innovations; building skyscrapers and testing the durability and stability of their paper creations; designing and making water filters; and working with static and current electricity. “It’s a combination of games and hands-on building,” said Rachelle Lee, a workshop leader from the Saskatchewan Science Centre. “It’s a great way to get kids involved and excited about learning science.” Lee and colleague Victoria Martin are travelling the province over the summer, visiting over 40 communities where they conduct the workshops in libraries and parks. “The kids are learning the basics of phyiscs, but the nice part is they’re having so much fun they often don’t realize they’re learning scientific concepts.” Ann Maille, librarian at the Aberdeen Library, said the program has proven to be the most popular one so far this summer. “Normally we don’t get too many boys out for our activities,” said Maille. “But this morning we have 16 boys taking part. I can’t believe it.” Maille said the workshop also provided a great way for kids who are new to the community to get to know their peers before school starts in September. “One little girl came in with her mom to the library yesterday and I suggested she come to the science workshop. She didn’t want to at first, but now that she’s here she’s made three friends that she can play with for the rest of the summer.”

Barn playhouse mystery farce If you were to stand outside the theatre doors at the Barn Playhouse during rehearsal you would hear a lot of laughter! Director Vickie Dyck says that you could feel the energy and excitement for this show from the first rehearsal. Usually that kind of energy builds over time as the actors get a feel for their characters. This show has had an infectious sense of humor right from the first rehearsal. Perhaps it’s the combination of actors and script but whatever the reason, the audiences are going to be in for a real treat! The upcoming show is a comedy, a true farce. Anything goes, just to get a laugh; doors opening just as another closes, mistaken identities, twists and turns in the plot, the bumbling policeman, the inept crook and the well-meaning, unsuspecting old ladies. This show has all the makings of an evening of silliness and uproarious laughter. Join the Ladies Arts Society for an hilarious evening as they attempt to write their OWN mystery-play only to be interrupted by two REAL mysterious characters! “The Marquis Crossing Ladies Society’s 1st Attempt….” runs from August 20-24 and August 27-31.

Warman girls key part of U15 squad’s gold medal By WAYNE SHIELS
essenceofsask@gmail.com
History was made at the Canadian Basketball championships in Edmonton when the U15 Saskatchewan team defeated Team Ontario 52-48 in a very exciting gold medal final. This was the first national title for a female Saskatchewan team. In a pre-tournament interview with the Gazette, U15 coach Wayne Morrison stated that the 2014 U15 squad was a very high-end team and that the coaching staff was “very excited about what we’ve got here.” The team delivered in a big way at the championships. After an opening day loss to Ontario, they had dominant wins against Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to earn a berth in the semi-finals, where they beat Quebec 83-68. They saved their best for last. In a thrilling final Saskatchewan unseated the defending champion and perrenial favor-
ite Ontario team with a total team effort. Saskatchewan shot 40% from the floor, while holding Ontario to 33%. Macaela Crone from Moose Jaw led Saskatchewan shooters with 11 points. Becka Hryhoriw, who is from Warman and attends Athol Murray College of Notre Dame at Wilcox, contributed 8 points and 3 rebounds. Warman High’s Faith Reid had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 1 steal, while her Wolverine teammate Chelsea Misskey made the most of her limited time off the bench to contribute an important two-point basket. In addition to Crone, Hryhoriw, Reid and Misskey, Team Saskatchewan consisted of seven players from Saskatoon; Katriana Philipenko, Lauryn Prokop(1st team all-star), Emma Johnson, Ella Johnson(2nd team all-star), Jordon Haggerty, Paige Davies and Kyla Shand) along with tournament MVP Emily Dewey from Regina.

Games like Thursday’s Saskatchewan Roughrider 23-17 victory at Winnipeg are what make sports so great, and why we consider ourselves very lucky to make a living at it. On the morning of game day, as soon as your feet hit the floor, you’re excited about what’s going to happen that night. You never know what what’s going to go down in that 60 minutes sometimes the excitement is unbearable. Not every game is a history-maker but this particular game ended up being one for the ages. Thursday was an excruciatingly long day in the Manitoba capital in anticipation of the Week 7 clash between bitter rivals Saskatchewan and Winnipeg. So much so that I hopped in a cab at 3:00 pm and headed to beautiful Investors Group Field because I was tired of waiting. There were some

coaches pacing the hotel lobby at that time and it looked like they’d like to jump in with me but thought it better to wait for the bus. Have you ever walked into a stadium or arena hours before game time and you can just feel the tension and anxiety? Winnipeg had it Thursday night. And the pregame fireworks – both literal and figurative – showed we were in for a doozy! The Roughriders charged the middle of the field from their endzone locker room at the exact same time the Blue Bombers were being introduced.
They clashed at midfield like two rams on a mountain cliff. It was spectacular! Amidst the smoky haze from the pyrotechnics, coaches Corey Chamblin and Mike O’Shea were seen shouting at each other. They both downplayed it afterwards, with O’Shea saying they had to yell be to be heard over the noise. Chamblin said there was a mix-up with the timing of their introduction and they weren’t trying to be disrespectful. I believe that to be the case, but it certainly set the tone for the 60 minutes of football

ahead. It was a bit of a back-andforth slugfest with the Riders opening up a 3-0 lead before trailing 10-3 at halftime. The Voice of the Winnipeg Jets, Brian Munz, watched the game in our booth and midway through the third quarter leaned over and said, “When does the excitement start?” What? Granted there had been no “big plays” to that point (25 yards or more) but I was on pins and needles! I thought to myself, “We’re only down 10-3. A simple touchdown and it’s a brand new game!” Unfortunately the offense wasn’t going to get it done on this night although Jerome Messam’s 126 yards rushing – mostly in the second half – were a work of art.

Legends Golf Club crowns 2014 champions Playing his first year as a member of the Legends Golf Club, Luke Sheard wasted little time earning himself the title of Men’s Club Champion. Sheard, who has won numerous other tournaments in his amateur golf career – including four Saskatoon City Championships – fired a one-over par 73 in extremely gusty conditions on Saturday, August 9 and followed up with an even par 72 on Sunday for a 145 total. Greg Swenson was three shots back of Sheard going into the second and final round and carded a 71 – despite a double bogey on the par-three 17th – to finish second at 147. Darryl Czuy entered the second round tied with Sheard for the lead but also double bogeyed the 17th en route to a two-day total of 147 and a third place finish. Duane Laskowski won the first flight with a 162 while Katlin Larlham captured the second flight with a 169. On the Ladies side, Tammy Bezaire just keeps racking up the wins. Bezaire put together rounds of 78 and 75 for a 153 total. Lori Rittwage was second with a two-day total of 173 (89-84).

(92-88) Velma Ladubec won the Senior Ladies championship. Sandy Penkala came in second, one shot back (97-84). A total of 55 members took part in the event, including 27 men, 14 senior men, five ladies, six senior ladies and three juniors.
Continued from page 15
Riders’ defense holds the line kept pounding his big horse into the middle of the Bomber defense to the point the big man had to pull himself out temporarily for a breather. The Bombers had every reason to win that game: they were at home, on a long week while the Riders were on a short one, and they have the early-season MVP in quarterback Drew Willy. Through six games they were considered the CFL’s best team. But the longer the Riders
hung around, you knew their chances would get better. And that tough-as-nails defense scored 14 second half points to help out the cause as the Riders outlasted their opposition and raced out of dodge with the win. It was remarkable! Chamblin said after the game that it was a tougher game than any Grey Cup he’d ever been a part of. Everything was stacked against the Green & White but they banded together like I’ve
rarely seen before. It was mentioned that staying for a week in Ottawa would help this football club bond. Well, evidence of that was on display on a beautiful summer night in Manitoba. “Games like that are what we play sports for,” smiled Rider linebacker Sam Hurl upon the team’s return to Regina. “That’s what it’s all about.” And it’s what keeps us coming back for more.

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19
Few things can wipe away the smile on your face this week, Capricorn. You are in an eternally good mood, and your positivity is intoxicating to others around you.
AQUARIUS January 20– February 18
Aquarius, you will have an enormous sense of accomplishment when you finish a task you thought above your skill level. Always believe in yourself.
PISCES February 19– March 20
There is little room for things other than work this week, Pisces. Now is not the time to take on new chores. Save them for later.
ARIES March 21– April 19
Aries, you may have to make a few minor changes to your original plan, but other than those minor adjustments there is nothing standing in your way this week.
TAURUS April 20– May 20
Home improvement projects continue to pile up, Taurus. Use this week as an opportunity to get everything in motion and on the path to completion.
GEMINI May 21– June 21
A few more tweaks and your master plan will be complete, Gemini. Now you just need a few able-bodied volunteers to work with you through some of the hard labor.

Cancer, a late-summer trip makes the perfect finale to a few good weeks of recreation. A little adventure is in your future, so make the most of this opportunity.
LEO July 23– August 22
Leo, once you have your mind made up, it is extremely difficult to sway your opinion. Others will try this week to get you onto their side. But you’re just not feeling it.
VIRGO August 23– September 22
Virgo, whether you have been lucky or unlucky in love as of late, this is the week for some romantic surprises. Your entire perspective could be turned on its head.
LIBRA September 23– October 22

ROD ANDREWS | SASK VALLEY NEWS
Your #1 Robyn Regehr, a rugged veteran defenseman with the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings, shows Choice for Over Denture off hockey’s Holy Grail to a group of Rosthern Minor Hockey Association players late last week at the town’s on Implants arena. Regehr grew up in Rosthern and played his minor hockey in the area, including several years with the Warman Wildcats AA minor hockey program. He took the cup up to Christopher Lake where he and his family and friends celebrated at their summer home. Regehr broke into the NHL with the Calgary Flames in the 1999-2000 season and spent 11 years with that franchise before being traded to the Buffalo Sabres in 2011. He was dealt to the Los Angeles Kings in 2012 and was a key part of their defense until being injured in this season’s playoff run. He has played 1,022 NHL games, has 33 goals and 153 assists so far during his NHL career.

(306) 668-0888
A dozen volunteer firefighters from area communities earned their stripes earlier this summer by becoming fully certified to North American professional standards. Eight members of the Warman Fire Department, three from the Martensville Fire Department, and one from the Dalmeny Fire Department were tested by officials from the provincial Office of the Fire Commissioner on July 18, 19 and 20. The firefighters challenged the practical tests for the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1001 Level 1 and Level 2. They had previously passed the written portion of the exam. They all passed “with flying colours,” according to Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin, who noted it was the first time in many years that the provincial Fire Commissioner’s office did not have to do any “repeat scenarios” for any of the candidates. “The provincial office conducts these tests across the
province in many communities,” said Austin. “They’re extremely difficult tests, and it’s very, very rare that the candidates pass with such high marks on their first try. “I think that speaks highly of the quality of firefighters, and the quality of the training we have in our region.” Warman, Martensville, Dalmeny, Langham and Osler Fire Departments all belong to the the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association (NCPFCA), a mutual aid organization where the departments share resources and training and back each other up on calls in each community and the RM of Corman Park. The three-day challenge included five “evolutions” on Friday, five on Saturday and two on Sunday. In addition to their general knowledge, the candidates were tested on their search and rescue techniques, external and internal structural fire suppression, use of ladders, ropes and other tools. The Sunday tests were scenarios for vehicle extrication and suppression of vehicle fires. Austin said vehicle fires are
becoming a particularly complicated part of firefighters’ training. “The essence of structural fires hasn’t changed in 200 years,” said Austin. “But the ways we fight those kinds of fires; the tactics and equipment we use; have changed a lot. It’s a lot more effective and a lot faster now.” The materials and technological components used in vehicle construction, however, have changed dramatically in the last five years. “With vehicle fires, there’s been a big shift in the way that vehicles burn because of the materials that are used in their manufacture,” said Austin. “A lot of the car parts now are made out of magnesium, rather than steel; and magnesium doesn’t react the same way steel does. If you throw water at magnesium, it actually causes it to burn hotter and more intensely. When you hit a piece of very hot magnesium with water, it will actually cause it to almost explode into fire. You get these blue and green flames that flare up.”

Fortune Minerals shifts site of injection well for proposed metals refinery Company also looking for alternative long-term storage site for residue By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Fortune Minerals is shifting the suggested location of a deep injection well for its proposed Saskatchewan Minerals Processing Plant (SMPP) to avoid the need to gain consent of some adjacent landowners who are opposed to the refinery. The proposed $250 million SMPP east of Langham would process copper, gold and other metals sourced at a mine in the NorthWest Territories. The SMPP would draw most of the water needed for its operations from the Dalmeny Aquifer. A deep injection well; a pipe that transports waste materials deep underground; is included in the design of the proposed SMPP. However, provincial legislation requires that all residents with mineral rights within 1.6 kilometers of an injection site must give consent before a permit to build an injection well can be granted. At least two landowners in the vicinity have refused to provide that consent. But Fortune Minerals Director of Environmental and Regulatory Affairs Rick Schryer told a meeting of the Corman Park Planning Committee on Monday, August 11 that the company has decided to locate the injection well at a site 800 meters southeast of the original suggested location. “We now have permission from the mineral rights holder to that property that we can inject in that location,” said Schryer. “We have been issued the permit to do the deep well injection by the provincial Ministry of the Economy. We still need to do the detailed engineering on what the injection well will look like, but Fortune is committed to using the best injection system available.” Schryer said there are over 7,000 deep injection wells already in use across the province, noting the potash industry relies heavily on this technique. “We feel that we can operate it very safely in accordance with the regulations,” said Schryer, adding that the design of the system and all the data related to its operation will be shared with a community-based monitoring group. Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood said she and many others were under the impression that there could be a halt on the project due to the inability of the company to get permission from mineral rights’ holders in the vicinity. Mike Romaniuk, Fortune Minerals vice-president of operations, told the committee that by relocating the proposed injection well, the company was able to get the required permits. “When you’re going to be putting a well through someone’s mineral rights, you need their permission to go through their rights,” said Romaniuk. “That’s how it works. You have to approach the various landowners, depending on how far you are away from their property, to get permission. As
part of the process for deep well injection, companies need to talk to mineral rights holders. “We are fully permitted to build the deep wells now,” added Romaniuk. “There is no issue there. It’s taken care of.” Corman Park Councilor Joanne Janzen, who represents the division where the proposed SMPP would be located, expressed concern that shifting the proposed well by 800 meters will not allay the fears of surrounding landowners that the well may contaminate the Dalmeny Aquifer, the main source of fresh water for the area. “That’s not very far,” said Janzen. “It’s really just moving it from one side of the fence to the other. It will still affect the same group of people who have expressed concerns.” The committee meeting, held in the Corman Park council chambers, was open to the public. About 15 area residents were on hand to hear the presentation. At the end of the session, members of the gallery were given an opportunity to ask questions of the Fortune Minerals representatives.
OFF-SITE WASTE STORAGE
Romaniuk said Fortune Minerals is seeking a separate off-site location for a long-term waste storage facility. “We have been in discussions with the Ministry of the Economy for several months about relocating the bulk of the process residue to a long-term storage facility at a suitable location away from the community; away from the aquifer,” said Romaniuk. “We still plan to build the processing plant and have some storage at that facility on a temporary basis, but the long term
solution will be relocating the storage residue facility to another location where we aren’t going to have the community growing up around it.” Corman Park Councilor David Fox questioned whether Fortune Minerals will carry enough insurance to cover potential clean-up costs of any environmental problems. Fox noted that the contamination from the burst tailings pond at the Mount Polley mine in the BC interior will cost more than the insurance coverage held by mine owner Imperial Metals. Romaniuk said Fortune Minerals will be adequately insured, and also noted that a Mount Polley-type spill would not happen because the SMPP would not have a “slurry-based system that is a mix of water and solids” in a tailings pond. “This is fundamentally different,” he said. “We don’t dispose of a slurry. We take the water out of the residue before we place it.”
FORTUNE’S NEXT STEPS
Romaniuk said now that the company has the required permit to proceed with its deep well injection, the next step is detailed engineering in support of that permit. “We have to submit an application to the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA) for the necessary permits to take water from the Dalmeny Aquifer,” said Romaniuk, adding the company also plans to continue discussions with the Town of Langham in regard to the potential for utilizing some of Langham’s wastewater in their operation, and also contributing financially toward the relocation of the town’s sewage lagoon. Romaniuk said the company plans
on applying to the RM of Corman Park council for rezoning the land for the proposed SMPP after it has acquired water permits from the WSA. “We want to finalize our requirements and our engineering, so that in our rezoning application, we can have a comprehensive package of material that addresses all the concerns and issues,” said Romaniuk. “Once the land is rezoned, then we can start the detailed engineering process and approach the Ministry of Environment to get the construction and operating permits started. They need detailed engineering in order to create those permits and attach the appropriate conditions. “In parallel with that, we can start closure planning and related financial assurance; and initiate the development of all the different plans for managing surface water, process residue, air emissions and dust management.” Romaniuk said the company is not likely to start construction of the facility until 2017. Once construction is finished, it will take four to six months to get the plant fully commissioned, and it would not produce any residue until 2018. By then, he said, an alternative location for permanent storage of the residue should be in place. He noted that even after an off-site permanent storage site is chosen, it will take a significant amount of time to obtain environmental approvals to proceed with development of the disposal site.
REZONING QUESTION
Corman Park Councilor Bas FroeseKooijenga, the chair of the planning
committee, said he was uncomfortable with the fact that the rezoning of the land for the refinery would precede many other steps, such as detailed engineering and adoption of a detailed plan around the eventual decommissioning of the plant. “I don’t want to talk rezoning without talking closure first,” said FroeseKooijenga. “It’s like buying a car first and talking about the warranty afterward. There are a lot of legal implications in something this big, and we may not have the skills around this table to make a proper decision.” Romaniuk said the province must approve any closure plan before construction permits are issued in the first place, and said the detailed engineering designs required for a closure plan of the $250 million plant would cost an estimated $30 million. “Why spend millions on a closure plan before you have a construction permit?” said Romaniuk. Froese-Kooijenga said while he’s encouraged the company is making a number of changes to its proposed plant in response to concerns expressed by area residents, he wondered if the additional costs are reaching the point where Fortune Minerals ownership group may decide to relocate. Romaniuk said the company is committed to the location, not just because of the source of available water, but also for its relatively cheap electrical power, good highway and rail connections and its proximity to a pool of skilled labour and scientific expertise that will likely remain with the project for its 20-25 year life span.

Corman Park Nuisance bylaw violators given extensions By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The RM of Corman Park had to deal with two long-standing Nuisance Abatement Bylaw violators during its council meeting, July 21. The first violator was Ernest Ahrends. On June 5 Corman Park Police Chief John Garnet conducted an inspection of the Ahrends’ property. As a result of the inspection it was determined that there are significant violations of Sections 11, 14 and 15 of the Abatement of Nuisances Bylaw No. 26/13. Violations included 12 junked/scrap vehicles on the property; building material, scrap metal, wood, which needed to be piled neatly on pallets 15 cm off the ground, and the storage of materials that was closer than 1 metre to the property line. After the inspection, Ahrends was given until August 1 to clean up his property. Ahrends said his son, who unexpectedly passed away shortly after his inspection, was supposed to help him get rid of most of the material on his property. The council was sympathetic to Ahrends’ situation and chose to extend his deadline to November 1. Ahrends agreed with council to the amended deadline. The other violator was Debbie and Ed Moyer. In Garnet’s inspection of their property on June 26 it was discovered the Moyers exceeded the maximum of six (6) junked vehicles not contained within a structure, building material, scrap metal, wood, needed to be piled neatly on pallets 15 cm off the ground, stacked no closer than 3 metres from the exterior walls of any building and no storage of materials could be closer than 1 meter to the property line. The Moyer’s were given a deadline of September 1 to clean up the property. However, Ed Moyer, who was present during the council meeting, requested an extension, citing health problems as the reason why junk material was not removed from his property. Despite some debate between Moyer and Council, a motion was passed to amend Moyer’s deadline to March 31, 2015. Judy Harwood said Moyer and Ahrends are just two of a list of ratepayers who are in violation of the Nuisance Abatement Bylaw, which the RM is hoping to resolve. In both cases, if both properties are not remedied by deadlines set out by the RM, the department of Public Works will hire their own contractor to remove the material at the homeowners’ expense. Garnet said the RM’s Nuisance Abatement Bylaw is in accordance with the province’s Municipalities Act and the rules are no different for other cities, towns, and villages in the province. He said it is not often that municipalities have to result in hiring private contractors to remove material by ratepayers who violate the bylaw. Garnet added that safety issues such as fire, vermin living in the material and unsightliness are reasons to have it removed.
