Six-year-old Freya Leask, three-year-old Eli Andersen and five-year-old Preston Savage found the perfect way to keep cool as they play with a water cannon at the Martensville Spray Park in Lion’s Park on Thursday, August 14. With temperatures soaring into the mid-30s when the Humidex was factored in, people tried all kinds of ways to beat the heat. The community’s aquatic centre saw long lineups and record attendance that day.

There were plenty of smiles from young kids and young-atheart adults during Vanscoy’s 31st Annual Agricultural Fair last weekend.

The two-day event featured art, agricultural displays, and plenty of food; traditional canning methods, gymkhana skills, as well as live entertainment and fun activities for kids.

Linda Stevens, agricultural fair coordinator, said the event is not just the Town of Vanscoy’s fair, it’s also the RM of Vancoy’s fair, which encompasses a much larger area.

Stevens said the event attracts residents from Grandora, Harris, Asquith and places in between and said everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

“Despite the poor weather it has been a very successful fair

this year,” said Stevens. “We feel that we have had good turnouts for the variety of activities that we had.”

The only event that had to be rescheduled due to weather was a light gymkhana event scheduled on Sunday, which was relocated to another local arena.

A new event this year was the Farmers Amazing Race, in which participants competed in a number of timed challenges, which included throwing vegetables into a pig’s mouth [not an actual pig’s mouth], hammering spikes and nails to a log, picking potatoes from a bucket, carrying a raw egg on a spoon and pushing a wheelbarrow filled with hay bales through a pilon obstacle course.

For a first time event it was really well received, said Stevens.

“We were really pleased. We

had great teams who displayed real community spirit. The kids and the older generations just had a great time.”

The Saskatoon Agility Association made an appearance during the fair. The obedience dog training group staged a demonstration of dogs running through an obstacle course and allowed local kids to race through the obstacle course with the dogs, which was very well received.

However traditional events such as the art, photography, quilting and vegetable displays always attract a lot of people, said Stevens.

“It is one of the events everyone wants to see. I think there may be a bit of a competitive spirit among residents. Everyone wants to know what everyone else has done,” said Stevens.

“The interest could be a fami-

To organize an agricultural fair takes a lot of volunteers, which over the years has waned in small towns such as Vanscoy and is a trend in a lot of smaller communities in Saskatchewan.

Stevens said this year there seems to be a renewed interest in the fair from younger people in the community and newer families moving into Vanscoy and surrounding communities.

“I think people are really starting to get back into helping organize community events.

Basically the fun aspects of being at home and getting back to their roots.”

Fire inspections a high priority for municipalities Amendments to legislation place more responsibility on local fire inspectors

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Warman, Martensville and Corman Park are beefing up their capacity to conduct fire inspections as they gear up for changes to the provincial Fire Prevention Act expected to be implemented this fall.

The amendments to the legislation, which has been unchanged since 1992, will place greater responsibility on local fire inspectors to ensure that occupied buildings comply with national building, fire and electrical codes.

Both Warman and Martensville are currently up-to-date on fire inspections, but the current rate of growth is putting pressure on the municipal fire departments to expand their capacities.

The RM of Corman Park, meanwhile, has contracted with several independent qualified fire inspectors and is gradually reducing a backlog that has built up over the past two years.

“We are a little behind at the present time,” said Corman Park administrator Adam Tittemore. “We were fairly up to date until the end of 2012 or early 2013. But now, under our new fire protection agreement with the City of Saskatoon Fire Department, that agency is no longer providing fire inspection services because they don’t have the capacity to do both the city and the RM. They’re focusing on their responsibilities within the city itself. They can’t do the RM as well.

“It’s nothing bad, it’s simply a capacity issue,” he added. “So in the meantime, we have been looking to the private sector to fill in the gaps, and we’re getting to a point where we may have to look at other options, such as a more formal relationship with a private fire inspection contractor, or perhaps hiring our own half-time member in conjunction with our police department to do inspections.”

Either way, the added expense becomes a budgetary issue for the RM, and the elected council will be making a decision on the issue in the near future, said Tittemore.

That decision will likely be made sooner rather than later, as the new

legislation is expected to come up in this fall’s sitting of the provincial legislature, and will come into effect as soon as it is passed.

“We’ve had some conversations with the provincial Fire Commissioner’s Office about the pending changes to the Fire Prevention Act,” said Tittemore. “The province is tightening up the rules as far as what municipalities are responsible for.”

Tittemore said the new provincial legislation will affect all municipalities, and noted many are updating their fire protection bylaws to ensure they are in compliance.

ceive one inspection. Basement finishing and secondary suites require poly-vapour and final inspections.

“Basically, in both Warman and Martensville, the building inspector does pre-coccupancy inspections, and then as soon as it is occupied, the city takes over responsibility for fire inspections,” said Austin. “Before a new business opens its doors, it is thoroughly checked to ensure it complies with the fire protection bylaw. The new bylaw in Warman gives us the tools to ensure compliance with the new national buidling code.”

Austin said fire inspections in Warman were behind until the new byWARMAN UP TO DATE law was adopted earlier this summer.

Austin said Warman has 184 storefront business buildings that need to be inspected at least once a year.

Housing starts down slightly in July Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 3,089 units in July compared to 3,498 in June, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)(1) of total housing starts.

“After three months of increase, the trend in total housing starts shifted lower in July. The lower pace of construction was attributed to fewer multifamily units following the strong performance in the first half of the year,” said Pichu Kalyniuk, CMHC Market Analyst for the Prairie and Territories Region.

CMHC uses the trend measure as a

complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR was 2,482 units in July, down from 3,179 in June. While fewer starts were reported in both the single-detached and multifamily sectors, the decrease in July was most pronounced among multiples where only 21 row units were started compared to 72 in July 2013.

protect lives and property.”

Cross recalled one incident a few years ago where a business owner reluctantly made changes to the wiring on his building after a fire inspection.

“The business owner didn’t want to comply, but he called me up later to thank me,” said Cross. “It turned out the overloaded breaker box had caused overheating inside the walls, and they found smouldering two-by-fours that would have resulted in a fire for sure.”

Austin said it’s important to educate the public and business owners about the reasons the rules exist.

“Before the new bylaw was passed in Warman, I met with the local Chamber of Commerce and gave a presentation on fire prevention,” said Austin.

“I let them know what we look for when we do inspections, and what the proposed changes were coming in the new bylaw so they could get prepared.

“A big part of doing inspections is to let business owners and managers know that you’re there to support them, to help them. We’re trying to protect thier life savings by keeping the building from burning down and keeping people from getting

INVESTMENT IN SAFETY

Cross noted the goal of fire inspections is to ensure the buildings are safe.

“When I first started doing this five years ago, there was more of a ‘small-town feel’ to it,” he said. “But as we’ve grown to become a city, it’s become more official. At first there was a bit of a pushback but I think now there’s an understanding that complying with the code is an investment in your own safety.

“During an inspection if we find something that’s not in compliance with the city bylaw, we give the building owner or manager a month to bring everything up to code. If, after a month, we go back and check it again and they haven’t done it for some reason, we give them another two weeks. If they still fail to comply, then they could be fined.

“But we don’t like to give out fines,” he added. “That’s not the purpose of the inspection. We would rather educate them to show them why they need to be in compliance. We’re there to

hurt. At the end of the day, we need to do all we can to prevent a tragedy.”

Austin said there is also an expectation by insurance companies that fire inspectors are ensuring business owners comply with the rules.

SIMILAR RULES IN PLACE

Austin said the fire protection bylaws in place in Warman, Martensville and Saskatoon are very similar.

“Our inspections are similar in format to those carried out in Martensville and Saskatoon,” said Austin. “The rules and the enforcement penalties are virtually identical. All the cities are on the same page so there is no unfair advantage for one city over another development-wise.

We try to keep it consistent so if a business starts up or moves, they know they have the same rules and the same expectations in all three centres.”

Austin said fire inspectors

He noted that with the explosive growth in residences and businesses in both Martensville and Warman, both centres have put in regulations requiring street addresses be visible for all residences and businesses.

Trudeau should keep Smart meter scandal looming for Wall Transparency Act What constitutes a political scandal is often in the eyes of the beholder.

By Colin Craig, Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation It’s a sad reality that many people living on aboriginal reserves have been bullied and harassed for asking questions about how public funds have been spent in their communities.

A new law passed by the Harper government, the First Nations Financial Transparency Act, helps the grassroots as it now allows them to go on the Internet and anonymously review their politicians’ pay and look at their community’s financial statements. The law brought aboriginal politicians in-line with municipal, provincial and federal politicians who have done the same for years.

Unfortunately, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau recently committed to scrap this new legislation if he becomes prime minister. Perhaps he doesn’t know the history behind the new bill and its importance to grassroots people living on many reserves.

Back in 2009, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, a donationbased taxpayers watchdog organization, reached a tipping point of sorts. We kept hearing similar stories from aboriginal people living on reserves: ‘I can’t find out how much my chief makes or see my community’s financial information.’

We asked those that brought concerns to our attention about the idea of placing each reserve’s information on the Internet just like off-reserve governments do. Ottawa already received each band’s financial information annually so posting the information could be done quite easily.

The idea was a big hit. If information was posted online, people could review it anonymously and without fear of repercussions. Such a change wouldn’t address all the problems on reserves, but it would help everyone learn more about where the money was going.

As we worked with grassroots band members to push for a new law to implement such a change, we heard plenty of sad stories from aboriginal people about being bullied for speaking out.

A man from Quebec told us he received a death threat for asking questions in his community. A lady from Manitoba told us a family member had her post-secondary funding cut off. A woman from B.C. told us a whistleblower’s home mysteriously burnt down while she was out of town.

Others told us it was common to have your home put to the bottom of the repair list or welfare cut if you spoke out. You could feel the lump in your throat as they told their stories. The tales we heard were simply unbecoming of a great nation like Canada.

To be clear, not every reserve has the same problems. There are plenty of chiefs and councillors who are good, honest people who are working hard to help their citizens and are already transparent. These politicians, rightfully, don’t seem concerned about the new legislation at all.

While some chiefs continue to complain about the new law, it has already proved it’s necessary. The new disclosure system recently exposed a chief from B.C. who received close to a million dollars last year tax-free. Even elected councilors on the reserve’s band council had no idea what was going on. One noted: “if it wasn’t for this new transparency act, I don’t think we ever would have known.”

To be sure, the Harper government has made its share of mistakes. But if Mr. Trudeau reaches out to the grassroots living on some of the more troubled reserves, it should become clear to him that the First Nations Financial Transparency Act isn’t one of them.

Provincial Politics

Certainly, it’s not always about the money. By government spending standards, former Alberta premier Alison Redford’s flights of fancy at taxpayers’ expenses were hardly overwhelming. While extravagant and likely unnecessary, even Redford’s $45,000 trip to South Africa for Nelson Mandela’s funeral was not justification for her resignation.

Moreover, all politicians gild the lily a bit when it comes to the necessity of their travel. This seemed to be the case with the Saskatchewan Party government justifications for former social service minister June Draude’s trips last year to London and Ghana. To this day, Premier Brad Wall struggles to explain the value of the trip to Saskatchewan taxpayers.

But Redford’s travel did become scandalous – and worthy of her resignation as an MLA and an RCMP probe – when the elements of personal gain and deceit came into play.

Maybe Alberta taxpayers would have forgiven her, were this story simply about a political executive wrongly using a taxpayer-owned aircraft to taxi around her young daughter so that the two could be together. But the combination of the abuse and the deceit – falsifying passenger lists so that she could fly alone – was too much to bear.

That said, personal gain for a politician is hardly the whole measure of scandal, either.

No Saskatchewan NDP pol-

itician really benefitted from the $36-million failed foray into the potato business. Nevertheless, the magnitude of the public dollars loss combined with the deceit involved in suggesting this was a publicprivate partnership when it really wasn’t truly made Spudco a scandal.

In fact, one might argue the Spudco was the scandal that cost the NDP government power, given that its defeat came at a time when the economy was starting to boom and Saskatchewan just surpassed the million-person barrier.

However, as seems to have been the case with Redford and the Alberta Progressive Conservatives, an increasingly unpopular government suffered greatly by what has been termed a scandal.

Of course, it would be wrong or, at least, premature to suggest Wall and his Saskatchewan Party government have been scandalized by the $47-million cost of installing

and uninstalling SaskPower smart meters after about nine have caught on fire.

There is certainly no evidence of anyone’s personal gain. And while there is ample reason to question the competency of this decision, it’s so far not clear that any politician is to blame.

In fact, credit Wall and SaskPower Bill Boyd for the tough decision to pull out the new smart meters – a costly exercise, but likely a prudent decision.

Wall has even eagerly suggested that his government will try to recoup the cost from the manufacturer, although the manufacturer has quickly shot back that the problem isn’t with the product but its installation.

But the old adage of ”where there’s smoke there`s fire” has never been quite so appropriate in what could be better described as a looming scandal for the Wall government.

Make no mistake that the

$47-million pricetag for this exercise is scandalous. And, like Spudco, it is the politicians who we are ultimately responsible for the choices and decisions their appointees have made here.

Someone in SaskPower authorized the contract to have an American-based company – one that did not necessarily use certified electricians – for this project.

All decisions would have been submitted to senior SaskPower officials hired by government. And all such expenditures would have had to have been approved by the Crown utility’s board of directors who are all government appointees.

So whether the installers or the manufacturers are the source of this now costly problem, it comes down to decisions made by those representing the government.

Maybe we aren’t quite there yet, but this Smart meter mess sure has scandal potential.

Getting older means getting wiser with health and lifestyle I wish when I turned 40 that there was a manual. Kind of like a “Getting Old for Dummies” book that gave a breakdown of things like memory loss, decreased muscle strength and other tidbits of information that would send most people into a deep depression, or what is commonly known as mid-life crisis.

No, I am not going to buy a Ferrari just yet.

But I do find it intriguing how many trips I have made to the doctor over the last few months, which I’m not sure is a good thing or not.

Prairie Screechin’

About two months ago I found out I had sleep apnea.

It is an affliction that causes you stop breathing during sleep. In the past, my friends have always told me that despite having a full night’s rest, I yawn too much during the day. There were also incidences where I felt like a scatter

brain. I couldn’t remember as well as well as I used to. I actually had one former editor say I had a memory like a goldfish.

Some people call it “Sometimers”. Sometimes I remember. Sometimes I don’t.

It was depressing. The ironic thing is that all those symptoms can be attributed to sleep apnea – including depression – which I am not ashamed to say I also have.

When I first got tested for sleep apnea at the provincial sleep clinic last month I didn’t really think anything of it. I

agreed to sleep with the monitor they gave me, not really expecting anything significant. I was pretty surprised to find out the results of my test showed that I stopped breathing nine times during my sleep and my oxygen levels during my sleep cycle dropped to 33 per cent.

My diagnosis is considered mild compared to some people. I’m grateful that I have a significant other who was kind enough to tell me that I stopped breathing during my sleep. No, actually she was more freaked out by it when

she walked into our bedroom when I was taking a nap one day and figured I was dead because of my shallow breathing.

The point of my ramble is to not take your health for granted when turning the big 40 because it is usually the time where diseases start to gain momentum.

In just over 30 days I discovered that I have a sleep condition I never knew I had. It now requires me to use a CPAP machine, which through the aid of a breathing mask pumps a continuous flow of

oxygen down my throat so my anodes don’t block off my airway.

Sure, the mask and hose makes me look like an elephant and sound like Darth Vader, but who cares. At least I can lessen my chance of a heart attack or a stroke down the road.

Here’s hoping my two ultrasounds coming up will yield positive results as well and shock me into staying consistent with regular physicals. I only have one life and I plan on enjoying this one for as long as I can.

Thiessen and his wife Randi were nearby at the time of the incident, which occurred on Thursday, August 14.

By the time rescue personnel arrived, everyone had made it safely back to shore and there were no injuries.

Roads, development among election issues in Corman Park

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park is in good shape heading into its first set of division elections this fall, said Reeve Judy Harwood.

Division councilors Wendy Trask (Division 8), Bas FroeseKooijenga (Division 6), Gordon Gunoff (Division 4) and Sherry Mervold (Division 2) all haveseats at the council table which are up for election.

Harwood said all four councilors have made a significant contribution to the RM. “I enjoy working with all of them. They all bring a different skill set to the table and I think there is value in all of that,” said Harwood. “I think if you have a diverse group it is good and council in particular is good. They all have expertise in different areas.”

Some of the biggest issues in all divisions are roads and development, which could be any-

thing from multi-parcel and residential to regional development, said Harwood.

Development proposals could be anything from muti-parcel and residential to annexation.

“We are working regionally now. We know the municipalities of Warman, Martensville, Osler and Saskatoon all want to expand,” said Harwood “It is going to happen, but we have to be vigilant because annexation is probably going to impact every division to a degree.”

For people living in the northwest region of the RM, a decision on whether to allow Fortune Minerals the right to build a processing plant outside of Langham is certainly a big decision to make during this election period.

“I think every councilor has to certainly make sure they understand all of the information and then judge accordingly,” said Harwood. “There is no doubt that weight of responsibility is on all councilors for

what the community wants. It has to. We are elected by the ratepayers of Corman Park to make decisions and to listen to what their views are.”

Harwood said she feels all councilors work together very well.

“We get along well and we don’t always agree, which is good. We want to have people who will challenge some decisions.”

Harwood said the council is still working through some legal issues with some staff that were released during a previous administration, but she said those issues are drawing to a close and she hopes council will learn from its past.

Harwood said Corman Park is probably in one of the best positions it has been in a long time when it comes to finances.

“That being said, we are going to be able to put more money into roads, which we know are always an issue and keep the taxes as low as possible.”

The Hepburn Museum of Wheat is getting a new roof, thanks to the fundraising efforts of a group of committed volunteers.

Diana Stobbe, a member of the Hepburn Museum of Wheat Committee, said a new metal roof will be installed this October on a portion of the building where the existing roof is leaking.

“We’ve decided to go with a metal roof rather than replace it with cedar shingles,” said Stobbe in an interview on Friday, August 15. “The reason is that the leaks are serious, and if we wait much longer it could seriously damage the building’s structure.”

Stobbe said the metal roof will cost an estimated $30,000. and will cover a portion of the building.

To replace the selected portion of the roof with cedar shingles would cost at least $80,000, according to Stobbe. She added that to do the entire roof with cedar shingles would cost about $120,000.

Stobbe said raising that much money would take the committee “at least another year, and possibly longer.”

Last year, the committee successfully raised $64,000 to repaint the building.

“We did that without the aid of any grants,” she said. “That was all out of people’s pockets. It’s not realistic to try to go back to the same people again and keep asking for more.

They’ve given a lot already.

Plus, it’s hard on the volunteers to conduct a fundraising campaign on that scale.”

The Hepburn Museum of Wheat is housed in a wooden elevator that sits alongside a remnant of the original railway line that once ran through the community. The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator, originally built in 1928, is the only remaining wooden elevator in the community. It was saved from the wrecking ball in the late 1980s and early 1990s by a group of committed citizens.

The Carlton rail branchline that once ran from Dalmeny to Carlton was taken out in the late 1990s.

Stobbe said the new metal roof will cover a portion of the building, replacing the dilapidated original roof on the elevator annex, the west side of the elevator, the drive and the exit drive on the lower level of the

The Hepburn Museum of Wheat is housed in a heritage grain elevator dating back to 1928 elevator.

Stobbe said the building is in good shape considering its age.

“It’s almost a hundred years old,” she said. “The people who built this structure really knew what they were doing.”

She said the elevator is important to the community because it is a highly-visible symbol of the region’s heritage. At one time, she noted, every little town had a row of elevators.

They were the reason for the towns’ existence.

“This elevator, and the ones that have since been torn down, marked the real beginning of Hepburn as a community,” said Stobbe. “This is where the farmers hauled their grain.”

She said if it hadn’t been for

the determination and foresight of the people who worked hard to save the elevator, that heritage would have been lost forever.

“Ben Bergen was the Mayor of Hepburn at the time, and was also President of the Museum Committee,” she said. “He deserves a lot of credit because he worked really hard to make it happen.”

Stobbe said the Hepburn Market, held during the summer on Saturdays, has increased the profile of the Museum of Wheat and attracted people into the community.

“It’s been a good thing,” she said. “It’s encouraged people to tour the museum and discover what it’s all about.”

Six-unit condo part of renewal for heritage neighbourhood in Warman

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A dilapidated house on Centennial Boulevard in Warman bit the dust last week to make way for a six-unit condominium.

The demolition of the “eyesore” was the first step in renewing the parcel of land in a prime heritage neighbourhood, according to Brad Redekopp of Cherry Creek Homes, the company which is building the new condominium.

“This will really help clean up the neighbourhood,” said

Redekopp. “We talked to all the nighbours and explained the project and got their input.

They’re all very excited about it because it will help renew the neighbourhood and raise property values.”

Redekopp said this project is his company’s first foray into multi-family housing. He opted for indidvidually-owned condos rather than rental units.

“We’ve built many singlefmaily homes in Warman, but we’re looking to do more of this. The aim is to have more affordable, owner-occupied homes. These are not rental

units.”

The new condo units will be about 1350 square feet and priced at about $250,000. Each will have a single-car garage at the rear as well as on-site parking. Redekopp said that is designed to alleviate potential onstreet parking concerns.

Redekopp said the land is prime residential property, locaed near businesses, schools, recreational facilities and the seniors centre.

Construction of the new condo building is expected to start in September, with occupancy by next April or May.

EXCHANGE EXPERIENCE Warman student to live in Norway for a year as part of Rotary Youth Exchange program

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

When Madison Dawn Tokarchuk of Warman found out she had been approved to live and study in Arendal, Norway as an exchange student for a year, she went on the internet to find out all she could about the place.

“It looked pretty cool from the pictures, but unfortunately, all the text was in Norwegian so I couldn’t really understand much,” said Tokarchuk, a 16-year-old student at Warman High School. “But I think by the time I get back to Canada next summer I should be pretty fluent in that language. I hope so, anyway.”

Tokarchuk applied to the Rotary Club Youth Exchange program last year after learning about it from her mother, Ashley Tokarchuk. She was accepted as a candidate for the program by Meewasin Rotary Club 5550, one of hundreds of Rotary Clubs around the world. In order to qualify as an exchange student in the program, young people between the ages of 15 and 19 must have demonstrated leadership in their schools, be flexible and willing to try new things, be open to cultural differences, and serve as an ambassador for their home country.

Tokarchuk answered the bell on all counts. Well-respected by her classmates and teachers, Tokarchuk has not only consistently made the academic honour roll every semester (her average marks are in the high 80s), she’s also a gifted athlete, and was the lone female on the Warman Wolverines high school football team last season.

“I played defensive end,” she said with a grin. “I didn’t get a lot of playing time, but I was a raw rookie and had never played football before. The coaches were great and so were my teammates, and I loved it when I did get to make some plays. It was a super-cool expe-

rience. I loved it.”

The Wolverines will have to find a way to fill that hole in the roster this fall, as Tokarchuk takes a leave of absence for a year from her school, her family, her community, her province and her country.

She’s enrolled in the Arendal Videregaendi Skole - an “inter-baccalaureate” (IB) school that offers high-level academic classes.

“You can take high school and even university level courses,” said Tokarchuk, who has already completed her core credits for Grades 10 and 11.

In order to boost her academic standing before heading overseas, she completed a couple of Grade 12 credits through an online course over one summer.

“It’s going to be a challenge because I’ll be learning a completely different language and trying to complete the classes in that language,” she said. “I wanted to make sure I learned most of it before I went over there. I think that should help.”

history,” she said. “It used to be a fishing village, and it’s many centuries old. I’m really looking forward to seeing the history and culture of Norway: the Vikings and that kind of stuff.”

Tokarchuk had to raise about $10,000 to pay for her round-trip airfare, insurance, travel documents like passport and student visa, and miscellaneous costs of tour fees, as well as her spending money. While she’s there, she and other Rotary Youth Exchange students will be taking a tour of selected countries in continental Europe.

The Rotary Youth Exhange has about 8,000 young people participating every year.

The club believes that by sharing their own culture, and embracing a new one, the program helps foster global understanding, and gives young people a great opportunity to learn more about themselves and their home country in the process.

Ashley Tokarchuk, Madison’s mother, said she’s got mixed feelings about seeing her daughter leave the country for a year to live with three different host families before returning home in the summer of 2015.

“I’m really proud of her, but also scared to pieces,” said • Madison Tokarchuk Ashley. “I’m a nervous wreck. I have real mixed feelings. I’m ex While she’s focusing on the cited for her because I know sciences, she’s also committed she wants to go to university to studying a number of generand take Engineering and this al arts courses as well. will help.

Province to review Smart Meter program Crown Investments Corporation (CIC) will conduct a thorough review of the SaskPower smart meter program.

CIC President Dick Carter said CIC will engage independent experts to look at procurement and contract management of the smart meter program, safety issues and cost recovery options, which could include legal action.

“There will be a public re-

port issued at the conclusion of the review, with findings and recommendations,” Carter said.

“Were sound processes followed by SaskPower in selecting the meter supplier and installer? What was the cause of the fires? And what recourse is available to recover costs?

“These are some of the questions that need to be answered by this review.”

CIC has also engaged Saskatoon law firm Robertson Stromberg and engineers Ritenburg and Associates of Regina to provide advice on cost recovery options and safety issues.

Resignation from mayor’s chair due to frustration, not health issues, says Earle

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Former Dalmeny Mayor Allan Earle says his recent resignation was triggered by differences with some other councilors over a proposed zon-

ing change, and was in no way related to any health issues.

“I want to set the record straight. A lot of people have asked me if the cancer was back,” said Earle. “The cancer is not back. I’m in good health.

That was not the issue at all.”

In an interview on Tuesday, August 19, Earle said he was “frustrated” with the direction that several other councilors were taking on the rezoning issue. He also felt it was “time for a change” of leadership in the mayor’s chair.

“I’ve given this community a third of my life,” said Earle. “I think we accomplished quite a bit over the years. But my frustration level had risen to the pont where it was easier to say it’s time for a young, progressive person to step into the leadership role.”

Earle confirmed he did not offer a reason for his resignation at the council meeting where he tendered his written notice that he was stepping down. He also confirmed that he was dealing with a death in the family at that time.

“My 86-year-old mother in law passed away from dementia,” he said. “If anything, we’re happy to have her away from the misery of life that she was going through. She’s in a better place now.”

Earle indicated he was in support of the application by Indoc Crane Services to have the property on which the business is located rezoned to industrial use.

Junior-age high school football league aims to provide playing time

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Warman junior age football players will have a league of their own to play in when school begins in September.

The developmental league was created as a way of giving junior age high school kids more playing time and an opportunity to develop their skills, said Tyler Scheidt, Warman High School football coach.

“We had some junior age kids playing on the senior team but they were not getting to play as much as we liked,” said Scheidt. “By having a junior team that gives us the ability to develop kids within our program, hopefully we will get more kids in Warman playing.”

A couple of years ago, Warman had a pee wee team that played in the Kinsman Football League (KFL), which included 12-man football teams in Martensville, North Battle-

ford, two Prince Albert teams and five Saskatoon teams.

Over the years Warman numbers started to decline, leaving junior age players no other choice but to try to find a spot on the Martensville team, try to make the high school team roster or play sparingly as a extra player.

Kelly Bowers, president of the KFL, said he is puzzled by the declining numbers, which he said was also a factor with the spring developmental league this year.

Bowers also wondered where junior-age Warman High School players were going to play, noting that a Prince Albert high school went the same route a few years ago by trying to join the Saskatoon Junior High School Football League, but were declined.

Instead of having to go that route, Scheidt, along with football coaches from Delisle, Clavet and Humboldt High Schools decided that a nine-

man league employing a fourgame schedule would give junior age players the chance to play and cut down on travel time for parents, which is not a concern if kids are already at the school.

Scheidt said the junior high school team will play Friday nights. Their schedule will include two games against Clavet and one game versus Humboldt and Delisle.

With most high school football teams averaging over 30 players, Scheidt said he expects to have a team of 20 with some kids having to play both offensive and defensive roles on the team.

“If some of the younger kids have to play two ways that is a bonus for us too. A kid in Grade 9 might look like a lineman and then maybe a quarterback by Grade 12. The more opportunities they get, the more positions they play, the better it is for us long term,” said Scheidt.

Scheidt also said both junior and high school age players will practice together.

“Different coaches will take the young and older guys and we don’t see it being an issue,” said Scheidt. “They will play after the game with the senior guys and they are going to play these junior games so it is going to be fantastic for their development.”

Blair Baert of Calgary uses an iron to tee off on the first hole during the opening round of the Saskatchewan Mid-Amateur tournament on Tuesday morning, August 19. The Legends Golf Course in Warman is hosting the tournament, which features 69 of the top amateur golfers from across western Canada. After the first round on Tuesday, Tyler Wright led the pack with a 5-underpar 67. The event wraps up on Thursday, August 21.

Offense a concern for Riders, Chamblin admits The Grey Cup hangover is officially over. However, does the honeymoon have to end as well?

The Rider Nation seemingly slept-walked through the opening six games of the 2014 season, perhaps enjoying one of the hottest summers in years. In case you didn’t notice, the Riders went 4-2 in the opening third of the season.

However everyone’s wideawake now, as evidenced by the first sellout crowd of the year (33,427) which took in Saturday’s 16-11 win over Montreal at Mosaic Stadium.

If you missed the game – and I can’t imagine you did – the score was indicative of

the play on the field. Much like the Riders’ 23-17 win the week before in Winnipeg, the Darian Durant-led offense had its struggles moving the ball but a late-game 30-yard touchdown pass from Durant to Rob Bagg provided the winning points. It was a perfect throw.

However, there were far too many 2-and-outs and some er-

rant throws incited considerable anger amongst the rabid Rider fanbase in attendance and watching on national television. Kicker Chris Milo missed two field goals as well, one of which was returned 122 yards by the Alouettes’ Duron Carter for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Hey, the team is not without its problems right now

and they know that. They also know they’re winning games and feel that should be enough to appease the restless fanbase.

“The offense is a concern,” Rider coach Corey Chamblin admitted after the game on CKRM radio. “We want to be a high-flying offense, but we’ll look at it and make the necessary adjustments.

“It was a tough game on offense. (Montreal coordinator) Noel Thorpe does a good job of defensive football. It was good defensive football, and both teams had troubles on offense.”

First Nations band chiefs salaries made public The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) expressed jubilation as the salaries of aboriginal chiefs and councillors, and annual band financial statements, started to be posted on the federal government’s website. The CTF began calling for such disclosure back in late 2009. “When we first called for the disclosure of chief and council pay information back in 2009 a lot of people told us Ottawa wouldn’t touch the matter,” said CTF Prairie Director Colin Craig. “But we mobilized people on and off reserve to tell Ottawa to make legislative changes so that the government could start posting the details publicly.”

Riders not scoring many points It certainly seems to be the early-season trend in the CFL in 2014, along with questionable officiating. or the most part, there aren’t many points on the board in football stadiums across the country and it’s been reflected in the television ratings.

However, the Riders aren’t concerned with putting on a show. Yes, the game was bad.

But it wasn’t all bad.

“There will be a time when the offense is lights-out and we’ll need the defense to pick it up,” Chamblin continued, noting the length of the gruelling CFL season. “We’ll come along offensively and we’re playing really well on defense. I saw some sparks on offense. We’ll work it into a flame.”

Just how they’ll do that remains a mystery but that’s

why they get the big bucks.

Having receiver Weston Dressler magically appear from the NFL would certainly be a God-send but the Riders can’t count on that.

Who they have is who they have, and in all honesty, they’re still pretty good. The off-field problems of embattled wide receiver Taj Smith have thrown a wrench into the process, along with firstyear receivers Brett Swain and Ryan Smith who are still grasping the Canadian game.

People were upset when the team was losing early in the season and for some reason a lot are upset now that they’re winning. However, I’ve given up trying to figure Rider fans out long ago.

They want the perfect game. Every week. However any rational football observer

knows that just isn’t going to happen.

And as far as the heat on Darian Durant goes, the team continues to have his back.

He is the reigning Grey Cup champion pivot after all.

“I think he’s the best quarterback in the league,” receiver Rob Bagg asserted on CKRM after Saturday’s game.

“Sometimes numbers don’t tell everything but just his leadership in the locker room and his ability to make the play when it most matters. I think that speaks volumes about him. I would rather play for him than anyone else in the league so I’m not really complaining about our offense and as long as we’re winning games I don’t think anyone else should either.”

Capiche?

Unemployment rate in province at lowest levels Unemployment in Saskatchewan hit a historic low in July, clocking-in at 3.3 per cent (seasonally adjusted). This is the lowest unemployment rate on record for the province since Statistics Canada started recording employment data in 1976. The last time Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate dipped to an all-time low was in

April 2014, at 3.4 per cent.

“Our impressively low unemployment rate is the highlight,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said on behalf of Associate Minister of the Economy Jeremy Harrison. “Saskatchewan’s rate of unemployment is now lower than every other province in the nation, and 49 of 50 American states.

Only North Dakota has a lower unemployment rate at 2.7 per cent.” The province recorded a number of other all-time highs for population (843,600), full-time employment (488,100) and male employment (315,100).

Monthly records included employment at 570,200, labour force totalling 591,600 and female employment at 255,100.
