Residents approve revisions to Osler zoning bylaws By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Town of Osler is preparing to adopt a new zoning bylaw to conform to its recently-adopted Official Community Plan (OCP). A public hearing at the Osler town council meeting last week saw no opposition to the proposed zoning bylaw amendments. The new zoning would comply with the town’s OCP, which was approved by the provincial government last December. The new bylaw would reduce parking regulations for daycare centres and pre-schools and allow for higher-density residential neighbourhoods, and ensure consistency in development standards for various residential neighbourhoods. It would also ensure interceptors are a requirement for waste outlets of various uses. The new zoning bylaws will be introduced soon, said Osler Mayor Ben Buhler. “The new OCP and the new zoning bylaw represent a new vision for the town,” said Buhler in an interview on August 28. “It’s a little different direction, and one that I think is

a good thing because it recognizes our strengths.” Buhler said the new zoning would facilitate the development of a “food node” within the town’s boundaries. “That will be a unique feature for Osler,” said Buhler. “It’s an opportunity for fresh locally-grown foods and represents an investment in community health. We do have a lot of local food growers in the area surrounding Osler. We have a number of vegetable prdoucers and meat producers and many sausage makers.” Buhler said Osler is hoping to capitalize on promoting sau-

sage-makers in the area by instituting a fundraising festival that shines the spotlight on this strong Mennonite tradition. “We want to start a ‘sausage festival’ that would be similar to Saskatoon’s ‘Koubasa King’ event,” said Buhler. The new OCP and zoning bylaws are part of a larger move to coordinate planning with the RM of Corman Park to accommodate the eventual expansion of Osler. “The town definitely wants to grow, and we want to include the RM in the planning so everyone benefits from that growth,” said Buhler.

Town councilor passes away suddenly Councilors get soaked for good cause

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

A member of Osler town council, Philip Enns, 50, passed away suddenly on Sunday, August 31. Mayor Ben Buhler confirmed his good friend’s death, noting Enns was an asset on council and his passing was a shock to everyone. He said Enns will be sadly missed by his family, friends and colleagues. The funeral service for Philip Enns will take place Friday, September 5 at 10:30 a.m. at Osler Community Church.

Osler Mayor Ben Buhler and the rest of the town council decided to “go with the flow” by taking the ALS Challenge on Thursday, August 28. Buhler, along with several town councilors and Osler Administrator Sandra MacAr-

Philip Enns

thur, got drenched with icecold water from the town’s municipal water treatment plant. The council accepted the ALS challenge from the Warman City Council. “They passed on the challenge to us and to Martensville as neighbouring communities,” said Buhler just before he got hosed down by Osler Town Foreman Don Regier. “ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a serious disease that affects a lot of people, and we need to contribute to research to find a cure. This ALS challenge is happening across the prov-

ince, with many businesses and councils taking part, and that’s good.” Buhler said the decision was made to hold the challenge at the municipal water station because it is a facility that serves the surrounding rural area as well as the town. “We invite all our neighbours to make a donation,” said Buhler. “We’ll call this a ‘flow of action’ to include people from the whole region. Everyone is welcome to chip in. They can drop donations off at the Osler municipal office”

RM reviewing the possibility of new public works shop An update on North Corman Park Rail Spur, drainage in North Corman Park Industrial Park, a new public works shop and much needed road upgrades were the focus of Public Works Committee minutes brought forward at the RM of Corman Park Council Meeting August 18.

RAIL SPUR

for a good cause

TERRY JENSON | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Langham firefighter Cam Brewer, a first-time donor, cheerfully provides the gift of life during a Canadian Blood Services mobile blood donor clinic in Langham on Tuesday, August 19. Upcoming blood donor clinics are slated for Martensville (North Ridge Centenial Community Centre) on Wednesday, September 17 from 5 to 8 p.m.; Rosthern (St. Odilon Church) on Tuesday, September 23 from 5 to 8 p.m.; and Warman (Brian King Centre) on Wednesday, October 1 from 5 to 8 p.m.

The RM of Corman Park is considering the possibility of selling or leasing of a RM owned lot known as #3 Peters Avenue located at the corner of Lutheran Road and Highway 11 within the North Corman Park Industrial Park. The lot is occupied but it contains a loading ramp and provides access to the CN rail spur located adjacent to the park. The rail spur is owned by CN Rail but at the time of development the industrial park was leased to the RM. At a July 21 RM of Corman Park Council Meeting a delegation from Virtex Farm Foods Ltd expressed interest in subleasing the rail spur from the RM despite significant repair requirements. Virtex Farm Foods and another company are willing to pay the costs of repair only if they are allowed to buy or lease opportunity on the land. The unknowns with this project include whether CN will approve use of the spur in any capacity based on the size of the lot and a change in their standards . The other issue for Council to consider is if there is a willingness to sell or lease the land exclusively, and if so, what sale process would be followed. This process is also dependent on CN rail allowing the use of the land.

INDUSTRIAL DRAINAGE

A long term solution for a proposed

college orientation Students at Great Plains College campus in Warman get acquainted with each other and with the college facilities during a day-long orientation on Tuesday, September 2.

drainage plan in North Corman Park Industrial Park have proven to be too costly for the RM of Corman Park. At the December 2, 2013 Council Meeting direction was given to Administration to discuss a proposed drainage plan with business owners in the North Corman Park Industrial Park and adjacent land owners that would be effected. Public Works reviewed a plan that would require 725 meters of ditching that would tie into the existing natural drainage system located on a parcel of land directly south of the industrial park. To do this the RM would require a seven meter easement through the industrial park, which would require approvals from three adjacent land owners. Only two of the three affected landowners approved. It was also estimated that a three foot ditch would be required for the whole length, with the final amount determined once snow melted and a survey crew could set elevations and cut stakes. The RM agreed to allot 30,000 to deliver this project, however one of the affected landowners was not on board and requested that additional options be investigated. The RM requested permission from the landowner to compete additional survey work and further continue this project to drain his land. After public works reviewed the survey it was discovered that there is not enough elevation change in this area to deliver an effective drainage ditch as proposed by the landowner. If it was constructed the result would create a long trough that stays full of water. In order to deliver a functioning drainage ditch to these properties and deliver a long term solution, the RM would have to complete a similar project to the drainage study done within the industrial park years prior with culvert to be bored through Highway 11 to drain the area. A project of this magnitude would cost in excess of $2,500,000, which cannot be completed within the current budget. Division 8 Councilor Wendy Trask motioned that administration approach the landowner regarding the RM providing compensation for water that is draining from the North Corman Industrial Park onto his property.

works shop is being reviewed to replace RM shops located on 33rd Street and in Warman. If everything goes as planned the new shop will be located on a parcel of RM owned land on Lutheran Road near Highway 16, which was purchased in 2010 with the intent of building a new shop. In order to achieve proper construction timing Public Works would like to start preparation for the new shop in the fall, which means the current renter would need to be given notice that the rental contract will not be extended past the current term, and necessary permits to install services to the property would have to be applied for. The RM is considering two construction options. One includes the RM acting as the general contractor on the project, providing all specifications and drawings as well as completing all tendering and project management duties. The other option is a design build tender process. Public Works anticipates the new shop to be 100 feet deep x 160 feet wide with 18 foot ceilings. The shop will also have four service bays with one drive threw wash bay, a lunch room, three offices, bathrooms and storage mezzanine above.

DIRECTORS REPORT

In the Public Works Directors Report the 2014 gravel program was completed in June. The mowing program is complete in Hamlets and the first cut throughout the RM is almost complete. Road construction projects on Range Road 3063 South of Township Road 362 are complete as well as a flooded road located on Range Road 3044 between Baker and Floral Road. Work should be completed in two weeks on Township Road 380, with Township Road 374 between 3064 and 3065 next on the schedule for maintenance. Public Works also completed multiple grading seminars, heavy road maintenance on numerous grown in a poorly sloped crown roads and performed a heavy recut and shape to Township Road 391, which included a light bedding of sand. The chip seal program is also almost complete. The last road to be finished is sections of Township Road 663. Public Works has also hired a contractor to perform Hamlet chip sealing and crack filling throughout areas of the RM.

Pension stealth bailouts An added perspective of the Romanow days cost taxpayers millions To suggest that former NDP premier Roy Romanow did not understand rural Saskatchewan is hardly an outlandish statement.

COLIN CRAIG

Canadian Taxpayers Federation

COMMENTARY

With Labour Day just past, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released new numbers on “stealth bailouts” for government employee pension plans. Virtually every government employee pension plan in Canada hit troubled waters over the past decade, but rather than reform the plans or bail out these plans with large cheque presentations, governments have been quietly increasing taxpayer contributions, creating a “stealth bailout.” According to Statistics Canada data, governments in Canada put $6.7 billion into government employee pension plans back in 2002. By 2012, that expense had skyrocketed to $18.1 billion; a 169 per cent increase. The CTF calculated the cost per employee at $2,676 in 2002 and $5,741 by 2012; an increase of 115 per cent. These calculations do not include special back payments made by governments. CTF Federal Director Gregory Thomas has said it’s not fair for everyday Canadians to have to keep bailing out government employee pension plans. He notes politicians should have reformed these expensive and unstable government employee pension plans years ago. It’s time to act.” In Saskatchewan, taxpayers have paid for similar pension bailouts. For example, in 2006, taxpayers put in $76 million into the Saskatchewan Healthcare Employees’ Pension Plan (SHEPP). By 2013, government (taxpayer) contributions increased to $147 million; a 94 per cent increase in just seven years. Other government bodies have had similar pension challenges. Government employee pensions are gorging on tax dollars that should have been spent on fixing roads, paying down debt or reducing taxes,. It’s time for politicians to take action with government employee plans. The CTF has called on politicians to do three things: 1) Lead by example: Convert politicians’ own costly defined-benefit pensions into less costly defined-contribution plans. (Note: provincial politicians in Sask already did this over a decade ago) 2) Stop the bleeding: Just as Saskatchewan’s NDP government did in the late 1970s, begin putting new employees into less risky defined-contribution plans; this type of plan protects taxpayers from bailouts. 3) Make do like everyone else: introduce “targeted-benefit” clauses for existing plans. This requires the plans to pay out what they can afford rather than a fixed formula approach.

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

Like many New Democrats of that era; and perhaps even today; Romanow was likely unwilling to accept changes within the rural economy that made it less reliant on the old co-operative approach and more dependent on the markets. One might even go as far as to suggest a certain level of indifference to rural Saskatchewan’s needs best expressed by his decision 15 years ago this week to hold a provincewide election campaign in the middle of a Saskatchewan harvest. The cold political reality is that the NDP knew its political strength was in the cities and could win power with the urban vote. That’s exactly what Romanow and his successor Lorne Calvert did. But there is also a danger in politics of becoming captivated by just one political narrative that usually emerges out of partisan political propaganda of the government of the day. In the case of the Romanow administration, that generally involves a portrayal of meanspirited government motivated only by its pursuit of power. Lost in this sort of portrayal is the reality that the Romanow government faced some major struggles in the early 1990s that proved to be not only a huge distraction to running a good government but also legitimate reasons for making some of the harsh and

unpopular decisions it made. Recently, we have been reminded of this reality as a result of a pending book by Toronto Star columnist Chantel Hebert on the 1995 Quebec referendum. In her book, Herbert uncovers that Romanow struck a secret committee of high-ranking NDP politicians and civil servants tasked with exploring the reality of a separatist win in the 1995 referendum that fell just 50,000 votes shy of becoming a reality. Among the gut-wrenching scenarios the secret committee explored was Saskatchewan and the other Western provinces being forced to join the U.S. in the wake of the breakup of the country. Romanow admitted in a recent interview this option was the farthest flung and had a “near-zero” chance of happening even if the “no” side in Quebec had lost.

Nevertheless, the breakup of the country was a grave concern 19 years ago. And here in Saskatchewan where the province was still financially vulnerable because of the billiondollar-a-year debt run up by the Grant Devine Progressive Conservatives, it had an added dimension. Now, one might also argue that the thing that plagued the Romanow government the most was its own constant siege mentality that saw every issue as a crisis perhaps even bigger than it was. There is also validity to this notion and Saskatchewan’s economic success of the past two decades likely shows there was less need for panic than Romanow thought at time. That said, governments can only govern in the here and now, which means that Romanow could not afford to wait and hope for $100-a-barrel oil, the success of the Bakken play

or the growth in the potash industry. Romanow’s reality was not having enough money to pay the New York banks holding the province’s debt. And most in rural Saskatchewan will recall how those concerns of debt and insolvency translated in the 1993 budget’s tax increases, cuts to highway spending and closure of 52 rural hospitals. Yes, rural Saskatchewan endured a disproportional amount of that pain in 1993. But it wasn’t necessarily all driven by mean-spirited, calculating choices made in politics. In fact, while talking about problems of the day, Romanow recently admitted he had to go to then-lieutenant governor Sylvia Fedoruk armed with a request to call an election in order to convince his own NDP caucus to pass that 1993 budget. It adds a perspective that we can’t completely ignore.

Health awareness groups need fresh ideas like the Ice Bucket Challenge By now everyone has probably received more than they can handle of the Ice Bucket Challenge videos on their social media sites.

Every time I have updated Facebook on my phone there are at least three or four videos at a time from friends depicting celebrities, municipal workers, health professionals; basically everyone in all walks of life dousing their heads with icy water in support of Amyo-

trophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research. To call it a fundraising revolution would be an understatement. As of July 29, the challenge has raised $94.3 million and that is US dollars. That doesn’t even take into account the amount raised globally. And since the movement really took off in August, who knows how much is in the kitty by now? But as popular as this fundraising trend is, there is always negativity by whiners who say the challenge is taking money away from other fundraising campaigns. Another complaint is that people only participate in the challenges out of pure fun and don’t really care about the peo-

ple who suffer from the disease. I must admit fundraising is a challenging task. Some of the most common ideas for activities include car washes, banquets, barbecues; and when it comes to health causes, runs seem to be the most popular. The only problem is these methods get old fast, especially when so many groups use them throughout the year for a variety of health awareness causes. A prime example is the Terry Fox Run. In 1980 when the young track athlete said he would take his run across Canada to raise money for cancer research everyone thought he was crazy. But Fox inspired millions to take up running for its cause.

Over the years Terry Fox Runs have brought in millions in research dollars for cancer research. Today there is a diabetes run, MS run, the list goes on and on. As a result, the act of running to raise support and money for cancer research has dwindled. There are only so many fundraising runs the average person can support. In some communities across the country, Terry Fox Runs have been cancelled because too many organizations are using similar methods. The sweet thing about the Ice Bucket Challenge is that you don’t have to be in shape to do it. Everyone has ice in their fridge, water and a wash bucket and hopefully the coordination

The task is simple despite the fact that there has been many Ice Bucket Challenge failures. In Kentucky recently, firefighters who used a ladder tobucket to dump water on college students participating in the challenge were seriously injured when the water was dumped close to a power line, causing an electrical shock. Then there was a Belgian man who got his pilot friend to swap a bucket for a water bomber, which dropped 396 gallons on water him as part of

the challenge. It caused serious injuries to the man. Well, obviously he should have seen that one coming. These are extreme examples, I know, but in most cases Ice Bucket Challenges have gone off without a hitch. It is a genius marketing idea and one that will, in time, be adopted by other groups. The Ice Bucket Challenge is an important example of why organizations need to be inventive and creative when coming up with fundraising and marketing ideas. When you have social media on your side, a simple idea can become a global phenomena in seconds with a lot of fundraising dollars for your organization to show for it.

Acting president clarifies SREDA’s economic development. role LANE REALTY CORP

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

What are the benefits of the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA) to the RM of Corman Park? That was a focus of a presentation by SREDA’s Acting President and CEO Jim George during a Corman Park Council meeting on Monday, August 18. The purpose of SREDA is to help grow the economy in the City of Saskatoon and its surrounding communities. The cost of the RM’s membership in SREDA is $19,297.74 plus GST, which works out to be about $20,000. George talked about SREDAs Regional Housing Study, the Dalmeny Needs Assessment Project, off-site development studies, economic development and regional planning initiatives. Division 1 Councilor John Germs wondered whether the Planning For Growth (P4G) partnership, which includes the RM of Corman Park, the City of Saskatoon, the Cities of Warman and Martensville and the Town of Osler, was really benefitting the RM. “We had lots of opportunity for multi-parcels east of the city here. It is real people with real money ready to roll and here we have another layer of governance,” said Germs. “On one hand it is good to have regional discussions but on the other hand it has held up millions and millions of dollars in potential investment on the east side until this next round of discussions occur.” George said as a facilitator with P4G he would quanti-

fy Germs’ concerns and bring them to the next P4G meeting. “I think a lot of people, especially in the growth corridors, feel like they are a land bank for the urban communities to grow some day,” said Germs. The overwhelming question which was asked by Division 7 Councilor Joanne Janzen and Division 8 Councillor Wendy Trask, was whether there was detailed statistics about projects or business that SREDA has facilitated in Corman Park over the last decade. George said he would supply that information after checking SREDAs records. He also said it is important to understand the difference between economic development and business development.

George, who was formerly involved with International Business Development, said his role then was to close off on any business opportunity that came through the company’s door. “Economic development is different because SREDA’s mandate is that we don’t stick with it until close,” said George. “We make an introduction. We then back away. There may be some things along the way that we have to get involved in but we are not there to close.” Trask said it is important to quantify what the value of SREDA is to Corman Park. “We need to know that, yes, you do the introductions,” said Trask. “But it would be helpful for us to know who in

the past you have introduced us to.” Judy Harwood, Reeve of the RM of Corman Park, clarified the debate by saying “SREDA could be out talking to other people about something where a name would come up and the company may not even go to you (the RM). They may go back and deal with a real estate agent or someone else.” George said SREDA may need to go over the introduction process with the RM. Under SREDA’s introduction model he said it is a challenge when business opportunities come their way because of SREDA’s criticism of being in competition with the site selectors, and developers not wanting them to talk about future development for confiden-

High school athletics provides valuable life lessons for students By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Syd Laskowski likes nothing better than to see students succeed, both in class and on the playing field. The principal of Valley Christian Academy (VCA) in Osler is a member of the executive of the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA), representing three athletic districts in the northwest part of the province. “High school sports is all about promoting self-worth in students and getting them involved; it’s not about winning at all costs,” said Laskowksi in an interview on Wednesday, August 27. “In any sport, no matter what it is, if you can get the kids involved and have them feel like they’re contributing in some way, then that gives them self-confidence and helps them overcome emotional difficulties like loneliness and depression; and also academic challenges they meet in the classroom.” Elected last year to the SHSAA executive, Laskowski is also Athletic Director at VCA and spent several years as President of the Central Valley Athletic district, as well as the Sask Valley Athletic district prior to amalgamation of three school divisions into Prairie Spirit School Division.

“Obviously I love sports, otherwise I would not be invovled in coaching,” said Laskowksi. “I see huge value in sports because there are so many valuable lessons you learn in life through playing sports. And that extends to other group activities like choir or drama; they are teams as well because everyone involved works together toward a common end goal.” Of the life lessons students learn by playing sports, Laskowski counts “respect” as being at the top of the list. “You learn respect for coaches, respect for officials, respect for yourself and your tammates and respect for your opponents,” he said. “You also learn how to control yourself in the heat of the moment, and how to control yourself in big games so you play well when you’re needed most. You learn to be a team player by helping your teammates be the best they can be, and you learn to share the game experience. There are so many things you learn on the court and on the field that you can transfer to all areas of your life.” Laskowski said high school is a significant but fleeting time in people’s lives. “It’s only four years,” he said. “The important thing is to make it count; to get as much out of those years as you can,

and to develop friendships that last well beyond those four years.” Laskowski said the SHSAA is responsible for governing the rules and conduct of several sports that make up the core of high school athletics. These include track and field, volleyball, basketball, football, soccer, wrestling, golf, curling and badminton. Student athletes have four years of eligibility to compete in SHSAA-sanctioned sports. Laskowski said the SHSAA is pressing to have greater involvement in sports among First Nations and northern schools. He noted that last year, football teams in the north were granted special permission to allow older students who were returning to school to play on teams in a special northern division. “They would have been ineligible for provincial playoffs, because they were over-age,” said Laskowski. “But because all the schools had a similar proportion of older players returning to school to finish their Grade 12, it was considered fair for them to play games amongst themselves.” Laskowski noted that the Central Valley athletic district hosted several regional and provincial championship tournaments last year, and a smaller number of provicial playoffs

VCA benefits from expanded facilities By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Valley Christian Academy (VCA) in Osler is reaping huge benefits from an expansion of the facility last year. “We’ve seen some real positive changes,” said VCA Pricipal Syd Laskowski in an interview August 27. “The addition of the new wing has allowed the high school portion and the elementary school portion to be separated, and that means it’s a little less intimidating for the very young kids.” The addition of a commons area in the high school has promoted more socialization among the older students, added Laskowski. “In the past, the kids always used to eat their lunch in their home room with their classmates in their own grade,” he said. “Now there’s a lot more mixing of grades, and we see the benefits of that in other areas, because the kids socialize more informally and are playing games in the gym that involve all the grades.” The expanded industrial arts and home economics teaching facilities have allowed those programs to be upgraded, Laskowski said. “In the past, we’ve used the kitchen next to the big gym for cooking classes, but it was never designed for that,” he said. “Now classes can be doing cooking, sewing and other activities at the same time in a classroom that’s designed specifically for those areas.” He said one of the biggest im-

provements is the addition of a welding program this year, thanks to a mentorship contract between the school division and Bill Dueck, a retired shop teacher from Warman High School. “Bill will be teaching weld-

ing this year,” said Laskowski. “And not just little projects, but the real thing. A lot of parents who live on farms and acreages are pretty excited their kids will be able to learn such a valuable, practical skill at school this year.”

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Valley Christian Academy Principal Syd Laskowski represents the northwest part of the province on the executive of the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) will be held in area schools this year. He credited the work of volunteers in the schools and in the communities for making these events happen. “Langham is hosting volleyball provincials ad Warman is hosting soccer,” said Laskowski. He noted that football is growing in popularity, and is as much a “community” team as it is a school team. “You look at places where there’s a high school football team, and the support from the community is amazing,” he said. “The games are very popuar and draw big crowds.”

Crime prevention program launches By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Neghbourhood Watch (WNW) group is launching an educational campaign aimed at reducing the incidence of thefts in the community.

At its founding meeting in Warman on Tuesday, August 27, WNW co-chair Marshall Seed said there are relatively inexpensive, but highly-effective, ways of preventing thefts from homes, vehicles and construction sites. He suggested the use of “trail cameras” on construction sites can go a long way to identifying thieves and would be an effective deterrent. Encouraging residents to lock their vehicles would also cut down on thefts. The group is also looking to have Neighbourhood Watch signs posted in the community. Seed said the new organization is all about encouraging a sense of community by having neighbours watch out for each other and to assist the police by identifying suspicious or unlawful activity. He said it is not a vigilante group and does not want people to put themselves or others at risk. “The mantra of Neighbourhood Watch is ‘Look, Listen and Report’,” said

Seed. “The police do an excellent job but they are overwhelmed with a very large area and their resources are limited. It’s up to residents to report anything suspicious. These reports are very valuable to the police.” Seed, along with co-founder Mark Stiglitz, was formally elected to lead the organization at its founding meeting. The group also established a structure of “Block Captains” to coordinate their activities. The group formally adopted a mission statement, which reads: “The Warman Neighbourhood Watch is founded on the basic principle of individuals working together with a common goal to achieve and maintain a safe and caring community; one that is proud to help with a sense of both community and safety, to both its citizens and welcomed guests in the City of Warman.” The group’s co-chairs were given a two-year term and three-year term, with the understanding that new cochairs will be elected for one-year alternating terms. The objective is to ensure new people are elected and the leadership rotates among the members. The group opted not to have a membership fee, noting that donations will be relied on to cover basic expenses. Meetings will be scheduled as the need arises, and communication to the membership and community will be done through various channels, both electronic and print. The group is in the process of establishing a website. Anyone interested in becoming involved in the organization is invited to contact the group via e-mail at warmannw@gmail.com .

Excitement builds at Martensville High School By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The constant sound of heavy construction equipment is music to the ears of Martensville High School Principal Brad Nichol. “The theme for our school this year is ‘Build On’, and all the staff here were given hard hats by the construction company putting up the new expansion to the building,” said Nichol in an interview on Thursday, August 28. “We’re building on to the school building, and we’re building on in our programming. It’s going to be an exciting year.” Nichol said it’s “business as usual” in the school, despite putting up with some shortterm inconveniences as construction continues on the school expansion, as well as the finishing touches on the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP). A revised school calendar specifically for the school was adopted by Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) to accommodate its special circumstances. “We have lost our gym, and the MAP is about a month behind schedule, but we’re work-

ing with the City of Martensville, and they’re totally accommodating us by letting us use the facility at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre,” said Nichol. “The two elementary schools in town are also helping us out by working with us on our volleyball program. We’ll be using their gyms for after-school practices. Volleyball starts right away and we need a place to practice.” Nichol said the high school physical education classes will be improvising by doing more outdoor activities until the MAP is ready. “We’ll see more frisbee golf and soccer and that kind of stuff,” he said. “Hopefully, we’ll have some nice weather. It’s a short-term thing, and we’re not worried about it.” That’s because once the MAP is up and running, it will have been well worth the wait, he said. “Once that facility is open, it’s going to be incredible.” Nichol said while the students will have to walk outside, around the construction site to access the MAP this winter, the hookup to the new part of the school should be complete

New off-leash dog park unveiled in Warman By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

City of Warman officials, business owners and canine lovers joined with Mayor Sheryl Spence to cut the ribbon to officially open Warman’s new Off-Leash Dog Park on Tuesday, August 26. The park is located in a large, fenced-off area close to Highway 11 at Warman’s main entrance, and has already been a very busy spot since it opened to the public August 8. Warman Recreation and Community Services Manager Paul McGonigal spearheaded the project. “I am a pet owner myself and it’s nice to have a designated place for dogs to come,” said McGonigal. “It is nice for a community to have ice rinks and ball diamonds but this park offers something different for families to enjoy.” McGonigal said local residents had been requesting an off-leash dog park for awhile and the project itself has been on the city’s radar for about four or five years. The only problem was finding land in Warman to accommodate it, said Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence. “That was probably the biggest hitch because a lot of people don’t want dog parks in their back yard. So we were looking for a location that would fit the community and one that would work for everybody,” said Spence. “We only really thought of this location a few years ago. In 2011 we used the land for a snow dump and it was underwater. When we saw that, we said, ‘well that is not going to work unless we do something with the area’.” After taking a year or two for the land to dry, the city decided to go ahead with developing the off-leash dog park in that location. Fences were already up before two local businesses decided to help out. McGonigal said the city budgeted $60,000 for the park, Warman Small Animal Hospital vet clinic donated three park benches and Iron Mountain Construction and Loewen Homes together donated about $40,000 towards the park, which included materials, equipment, and labour. The partnership with both local companies also assisted with the design of the dog park by creating a drainage pond to

control rainfall and trenches to keep the park from flooding. They also donated the sign for the dog park. James Loewen, owner of Loewen Homes and Adam Hartnell, owner of Iron Mountain Construction, said they realized how important it was to have an area designated for families and their pets. “The city started it and it was nice to jump aboard to get the project to its next level,” said Loewen. Other features of the park include a pathway and a 12 x 12 fenced in “cool-down” area located just inside the entrance, which will give dog owners the chance to take the leash off their dog and settle it down before entering the park. Collette Neudorf, owner of Warman’s new vet clinic, said for years she has been travelling to dog parks in Martensville and Saskatoon and that it was nice to have a local off leash park where dog owners can come and socialize with other pet owners. Neudorf said exercise is important for dogs. “They are living creatures and get bored in the house. I know some people have no choice. They have to leave their animals at home when they go to work or in a kennel in the back yard,” said Neudorf. [Lack of exercise] can lead to other problems like aggression as well as physical health problems. It is just really healthy for their minds and bodies to play and be free.” Dog owners should be aware that users of the park must have their dog on a leash when walking or driving to the park and have a valid dog license when using the park, said McGonigal. “Warman licenses can be picked up at the City Hall. Users of the park from other communities must have a valid pet license from their community,” said McGonigal. “If their dog is not licensed or is not wearing their valid dog license, then they can be subject to a fine.” Spence said the location of the park adds a lot to the city. “It is a really good feeling when you drive into the community and you see people and their furry friends using this area,” said Spence. “It is just a great idea to use space that was not being used into something that is more productive.”

lacking for anything this year. Even our extra-curricular drama is going to be practicing on the North Ridge Centre stage. The key is we’ve had lots of cooperation and coordination and goodwill from the city, and that’s really helping us out with this transition.” Nichol said the increase in the number of students that require help with their English language skills, and also special needs students, is always a challenge for all schools. “We have an ESL teacher who is based here in our school who travels throughout the division, so that’s really important,” he said. “We also try to keep those students in classes with smaller numbers and provide them with English language supports. The upside is that student diversity also adds a lot to a school’s culture. A bigger school like ours can absorb new kids much more easily than a smaller school.”

High school renovations students who enrol,” said Nichol. “This year will be a new high, as we’re looking at 110 students in Grade 9. Next year there will probably be even more. That’s just the pattern that is coming up.” Because of the high number of Grade 9 students, Nichol said the school has had to institute a fifth “cohort” or home-room class. Traditionally, there are four Grade 9 cohorts, but this year there will be five. “We’ve been given an additional teacher by PSSD to accommodate that extra home room,” said Nichol. “We’ve also had to juggle the timetable to fit everything in.” But despite the higher enrolment numbers, the school will be able to accommodate everyone in the short term with no ill effects on academics, athletics or extra-curricular programming. “With all the renovations, it will be litle tight, but we’ll be okay,” he said. “We’re not

Determination key to overcoming adversity, says all-star quarterback By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Anthony Calvillo made it look easy when he won those big games, but the Grey Cupwinning quarterback and retired Montreal Alouette only got to the highest level of Canadian professional football after paying his dues in the school of hard knocks. Born and raised in east Los Angeles, Calvillo and his siblings relied heavily on sports as a way of overcoming poverty. Calvillo told a sold-out crowd at the Warman Sports Celebrity Dinner at the Legends Centre on Thursday, August 28 that he knew from a young age that his future lay in professional sports. “Sports was my motivation,” said Calvillo. “My mom always told me to apply myself in school or I wouldn’t get to play sports. And I struggled in school. I had tutors right from elementary school to university. But I studied because I wanted to play sports.” Calvillo said he learned a lot

from the coaches who helped him along. “What I didn’t realize at the time was that all these people who were coaching me were volunteers,” said Calvillo. “I didn’t have a clue that they all had jobs and families and they still made time to coach all the kids in the neighbourhood.” Calvillo said the playing fields were his refuge. “Growing up in east L.A. was tough,” he said. “My father was an alcoholic and he was very abusive to my mother. We saw that and it was hard to deal with. My older brother eventually put a stop to that, and after that my father was gone. So we had a new household, but no father. My mom had to do both. She had to work and raise us kids, and she couldn’t do it alone. My mentors in my life were the coaches, including Big Bob, who ran the local ball park. They all tried to influence us and give us advice and tell us to do the right things.” Calvillo said he applied himself in an effort to improve his

study skills and his work ethic, and eventually earned a scholarship to university after two years in a junior college. He chose to go to Utah State, a Division I school, and soon learned he had a lot of work to do to make the grade. He credits his college football coach as being a father figure who had a big influence on his life. “I saw how he interacted with his kids, and I realized for the first time that’s what families are supposed to be like,” he said. Eventually he became the starting quarterback for Utah State, and he helped guide the team to victory in the Las Vegas Bowl, the first football title in that college’s history. He wanted to play professional football, but realized that National Football League (NFL) teams “weren’t looking for a 6 foot 2, 189-pound Mexican quarterback.” So when he found out about an opportunity to play in the CFL when that league ex-

Several thousands of dollars were raised last week in support of a second ice surface at the Legends Centre in Warman during the Sports Celebrity Dinner. The event, combined with a silent and live auction of sports memorabilia, featured an allstar lineup of sports heroes from professional hockey, baseball and football. Drew Doughty and Jarret Stoll of the Stanley Cupwinning Los Angeles Kings; Baseball Hall of Famer Tim Raines; former Saskatchewan Roughriders Glen Suitor, Rey Williams, Mike McCullough and Geroy Simon; recently retired Montreal Alouettes quar-

terback Anthony Calvillo; and NHL analyst Drew Remenda were all on hand to lend their support to the cause. Glen Suitor, a former player with the 1989 Grey Cup-winning Riders team and now a colour analyst with TSN, led a lively discussion with Simon, McCullough and Williams about football. Geroy Simon related how, after being used sparingly by the Riders thorughout the regular season and playoffs, was suddenly called on to make big plays in the 2013 Grey Cup game. “It was a bit of a frustrating year,” said Simon. “In the week before the big game, I went up to George Cortez, the team’s offensive coordinator, and I said,

‘you know, George, I have never caught a pass in a Grey Cup game.’ George just said, ‘Okay.’ and that was it. He never said anything else. “When Darian called the play in the game and it was corner post route for me, I thought, ‘What? George must have made a mistake.’ But Darian threw me a great pass and I caught it in the end zone. It was a highlight of my career.” Suitor later wowed the audience when he pulled out a guitar and did a hilarious parody of the Garth Brooks song, “Friends in Low Places.” Remenda interviewed Tim Raines, Jarett Stoll and Drew Doughty, providing the audience with insights into what makes great players tick.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS Prairie Spirit School Division Policy 501 – Sections 7 and 8 - Criminal Record Checks for Volunteers As a School Division we are always working to create a safe environment for our students. We have learned about extra measures we should be taking to ensure safety beyond the regular classroom with respect to our volunteers. We are hopeful that our parents and community will understand and support this new measure to further protect our students. Our School Division will require criminal records check for some volunteers. Those who must provide a criminal record check are: • Any person who is a non-parent and is acting as a volunteer for school sponsored activities in Prairie Spirit School Division. • Any person acting as a volunteer for school sponsored activities that have direct or sole responsibility for providing supervision of students. Any person acting as a volunteer for school sponsored overnight activities. Parent volunteers (including grandparents or legal guardians) who are volunteering and are under the supervision of a Prairie Spirit employee do not require a criminal records check if they are simply working in the school on a daily basis. Schools may, however, ask new parents or parents unknown to the school to provide personal references from known members of the community or, in lieu of meeting these requirements, may require them to provide a criminal record check. If you are a person who is volunteering in one of our schools and we require a criminal record check, we will ask you to read our policy, so that you understand the implications. Please check with the Principal or Vice-Principal to confirm if a criminal records check is required. If while volunteering, you are charged with a criminal offence, we are asking you to provide us with that information, again, with the thought that we always want to do what is best for the safety of our students. We are proud to work toward creating the safest possible environment for our students. Your support is appreciated!! Calendar Dates: Aug. 25-29

You might be from Saskatchewan if... you’ve got a sense of humour By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

What do you get when you pair a Dennis the Menace ghost writer and a talented Saskatchewan comic artist? The answer: a best selling book. That is the story Carson Demmans and John Sylvestre tell people when asked about the success of their book “You might be from Saskatchewan if.” The book published by Lunenburg, Nova Scotia’s MacIntyre Purcell Publishing, provides a humorous look at Saskatchewan life told in cartoons. The second volume of the book was released recently after its first reached best seller status in 2012. For Sylvestre, who has been drawing cartoons since he was a kid, he never expected the first volume to do so well. “We were doing a book signing at the Saskatoon Blitz convention. The publisher hadn’t told us that we hit the best seller numbers. People were bringing us covers and it had best seller across the top,” said Sylvestre “We had been stunned that we have been that successful. As soon as we hit best seller numbers they [MacIntyre

Purcell Publishing] were talking about future plans.” Sylvestre was self publishing his own comic books when he met Demmans at a work Christmas party and discovered that he wrote for some of the most famous newspaper comic strips. “It was sort of a weird connection. He has been doing gag writing sort of like a ghost writer for Dennis the Menace, Pearls Before Swine, Frank and Ernest, and the Lockhorns newspaper comic strips,” said Sylvestre. “It seemed like a natural fit for us to try and find a project together.” Demmans also had his work appear in Cracked Magazine and sold eight pages to European Disney Licensees. Some of his Uncle Scrooge comic strips have even been published in German, Danish, Finnish and Norwegian languages. Demmans, who is a Regina Lawyer by day, said humor writing has always appealed to him, which largely has to do with the style of writing. “When you have to confine the writing to a very limited amount of space. In particular when you are writing for a daily panel like Dennis the Menace you basically have to tell

the story in one sentence. It teaches you to write very tight and get to the point quickly.” The responses from Saskatchewan residents at book signing events and conventions have been diverse, said Sylvestre. “Doing the comic book stuff I am used to seeing parents with kids coming to my table. I’ve had people from all walks of life coming up to talk to us, telling us how much they enjoyed the books, what was their favourite cartoon and giving us ideas for the next book.” Demmans said Saskatchewan residents can identify with the books because it is about them. Both Demmans and Sylvestre said they would love to continue with a volume three of the series but they are already working on a few other Saskatchewan-based books with MacIntyre Purcell. One will be a non-fiction book filled with 148 strange but true Saskatchewan stories, which is slated to be released before Christmas. The other will be a book about Saskatchewan riddles. No release date has been scheduled as of yet.

New legislation updates consumer rights regulations The new Consumer Protection and Business Practices Act that came into effect September 1, 2014, updates new rules protecting consumer rights in Saskatchewan. The Act is designed to protect consumers from unfair practices and covers a variety of marketplace activities including contracts, gift cards, ticket sales, warranties for consumer products and more. “This legislation updates the consumer protection framework for Saskatchewan mak-

ing the legislation more accessible and easier for consumers to understand,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “The new Act adds consistency and flexibility, by allowing consumer protection licensing and regulation to be governed by the same set of regulations.” The legislation includes the existing provisions of The Consumer Protection Act and also adds new provisions respecting licensing of certain businesses that are currently licensed un-

der separate Acts. Steps taken to protect consumers include; strengthened authority for the investigators and increased penalties and fines. Another change that benefit businesses is predictability between different regulations. Public feedback has been an integral part of this process to

ensure the legislation meets the needs of consumers and stakeholders. Additional consultations will be held as new licensing rules are incorporated. Consumer protection legislation is administered by the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan.

getting a grip on canadian culture Two students enrolled in the English as a Second Language (ESL) program at the University of Sakatchewan get a taste of Canadian culture by learning to paddle a canoe for the first time. The students were part of an ESL class that was spending the day at Pike Lake Provincial Park on Thursday, August 21. ESL Activities Assistant Ken Seto explained that the students are taking the classes to improve their English language skills before the university’s fall session begins in September. The program is designed for students from around the world, and Seto said the outdoor activities are designed to help students learn about Canadian culture and history. Learning to paddle a canoe without capsizing was a challenge for some.

Like an old Beatles song, the Riders are coming together Another week, another win. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers made the Saskatchewan Roughriders work for it, and caused the Rider Nation to sweat a bit, but the Green Machine came back for a 35-30 win in Sunday’s Labour Day Classic XLVIII at a soldout Mosaic Stadium to up their record to a remarkable 7-2 at the midway point of the 2014 CFL season. 7-2! Need I remind you that last year’s 8-1 start was the best in the franchise’s 103 years and this year’s bunch is right on the heels of it? It’s stunning really, when you think about it. Half of the roster from the 2013 Grey Cup champions was turned over either by bad luck or design but somehow this year’s team just keeps finding a way to win week after week.

Actually it’s not much of a mystery. Sunday’s Labour Day Classic followed the script of most Rider games this year; they won the turnover battle, rolled up 160 yards rushing, and won the line of scrimmage battle. It’s not sexy, but it wins games. Time will tell if it’s enough to win when the chips are down in the fall but my spider senses tell me it will be. And each week this team galvanizes more and more into perhaps the closest Roughrider team I’ve seen in my 16 years calling the games. The upper management of the club has noticed too. “This is a better ‘team’ than last year, per se,” Rider GM Brendan Taman told CKRM radio. “These guys go out

and play and they play hard. They play together as a unit and they’re doing a lot of good things.” And Taman himself is breathing a sigh of relief that star free agent receiver Weston Dressler signed on the dotted line last Thursday, fortifying this team even more for the stretch drive. In the thousands of contracts Taman’s done over the years, this one might have been the toughest. Or at least, it came with the most pressure.

“A lot of people, from what I’m gathering, just assumed he was going to come back but if you would’ve walked into my office Tuesday or Wednesday of last week I would have told you he’s probably not coming back,” Taman admitted. “I talked to you in Vancouver about it and I wasn’t comfortable with it then. You just don’t get athletes turning down money to come back to a place regardless of the money and I’m not saying we were that low but it was tough.

Gazette

“It wasn’t tough to negotiate with him and his agent because they were really good people to deal with but it was tough internally because I just didn’t know if we were going to get him. I told Jim Hopson on Wednesday that I didn’t have a good feeling about this but as luck would have it, we worked hard at it, fought through some things, and made it work. I was really happy that we got back. It wasn’t because of the pressure of getting him, but it was a true credit to him that he did come back.” And with that, all seems right in the world. Dressler didn’t shoot the lights out in Sunday’s game, in fact head coach Corey Chamblin described his first outing as “okay”. But can we all agree that for the first eight games

something was missing? Now it’s back. But for how long? Dressler signed only a one year deal so are we going to be going through all of this again this winter? “Maybe. Maybe not,” Taman said. “We’ll see how it goes the next few months. The bottom line for me was I didn’t want to be playing against him for the next few months. I wanted him in green and helping us make a playoff push. I’m sure a lot of teams in the West Division cringed their teeth when they heard he was coming back to us because we got better.” Are the Riders the best team in the CFL? The standings say they’re not, but they’re close. And they’re getting better at precisely the right time.

panded to include the Shreveport Pirates, Las Vegas Posse, Baltimore Stallions and Sacramento Gold Miners in 1993, he jumped at the chance. He made the Las Vegas team and earned the job of starting quarterback, but admitted his “inconsistent” play was largely responsible for the team’s dismal 5-13 record. “The team folded and I had to move on,” he said. Calvillo played three seasons with the Hamilton Tiger Cats from 1995 to 1997, and while he worked his way up to starting quarterback, the team was awful. “It was the first time I really had to really deal with adversity, and I crumbled,” said Calvillo. “I was released by Hamilton, and only two other teams were interested in me.

Classes at area high schools just started this week, but some students were already back in class tackling their assignments a week early. “It’s always exciting to kick off a new season,” said Martensville Royals head coach Lyle Evanisky following a practice last Thursday. “We’ve got more kids coming out for training camp this year than I’ve ever had before, so that’s really positive. Our season is set to get underway next week with a night game against Delisle on Friday, September 12 at 7 p.m.” Warman Wolverines head coach Tyler Scheidt is likewise pumped about the new season. “It’s nice to be back,” said Scheidt. “We’ve got a great group of athletes returning and a lot of new kids coming up.” Warman’s first game is Friday, September 12 at home against JP II of North Battleford. Martensville, Warman, the Delisle Rebels, JP II Crusaders, Meadow Lake, and Kindersley are in Conference 4 of the 2A 9-man football league. The Clavet Cougars are in Conference 1 of the 2A 9-man football league along with Humboldt, Melfort, Nipawin and Tisdale. The Aberdeen Crusaders and Hague Panthers are in Conference 4 of the 1A 6-man football league, along with Carrot River and Meath Park.

The Martensville Maddogs Bantam and Pee Wee minor football teams are seeing healthy numbers this year, as kids from surrounding communities suit up with the teams, says Scott Delahey, head coach of the Maddogs bantam team. “We have about 30 players on the bantam team and over 40 kids on the pee wee team,” said Delahey in an interview on Wednesday, August 27, just before the Kinsmen Football League (KFL) season kicked off. “We’re pulling in kids from other communities like Hepburn and Langham. Warman doesn’t have a pee wee team this year, so there are a few kids of that age coming here. “Warman doesn’t have a bantam team, either, but they have the junior team in the high school, so the bantam age kids

Calvillo retired in 2013, and holds the CFL all-time record for total yardage: 79,816 yards. “I was able to play for so many years because I have a great wife who let me focus on my job while she took care of our household,” he said. “Once I made the decision to retire, I went back to university and got my degree at Utah State. When I left college I was 16 credits short of my BA degree.” Adversity, he concluded, “is always going to hit you in life or on the football field. It’s all about how you handle it.”

He said minor football offers youngsters who don’t play hockey or baseball a chance to be part of a team, even if they’re not a star athlete. “Football is the ultimate team sport,” he said. “There’s a place for everyone, regardless of your size or your ability. Everybody plays a role on a football team.” The KFL games are mostly played at the Saskatoon Soccer Centre outdoor fields, but there will be some this year at Gordie Howe Bowl, “That’s a great facility now that the improvements are in place,” said Delahey. “It’s a

huge stadium, and that gives a totally different feeling for the kids.” The Martensville Maddogs will also be hosting four regular season games over the course of the 8-game, 6-week season. “League play starts in Martensville the week of September 7,” said Delahey. “On Sunday, September 7, the Pee Wee team plays at 12 noon, while the Bantams play at 3 p.m. The games are scheduled one right after the other, so people can come and watch a good afternoon of football at Geransky Field.” Delahey said playoffs start in mid-October. The top four teams make the playoffs while the fifth and sixth-place teams battle for the final playoff spot. The bottom three teams in the standings have a post-season jamboree to finish the year off. The full schedule for the KFL is posted online at www.saskatoonminorfootball.com .

One million Bobcat owners can’t be wrong Unit sales hit milestone mark

Dale Poncelet isn’t surprised that sales of Bobcat skid steer loaders hit the 1 million mark in 2014. “The product itself is bullet-proof,” said Poncelet in an interview at Earthworks Equipment, located in the RM of Corman Park on Highway 16 northwest of Sakatoon. “It’s a very reliable, economically-priced unit that is so versatile there’s almost no limit to what you can use it for.” Poncelet, who hails from the Kinistino-Melfort region, may be new to the sales staff at Earthworks, but he’s got plenty of experience in farm equipment sales. After ten years of living in British Columbia where he worked with John Deere and Case IH, Poncelet said he welcomed the opportunity to return to Saskatchewan. He’s been with Earthworks for several months, and says he enjoys helping landowners, farmers and contractors find just the right piece of equipment for the job. Poncelet said the big advantage the Kubota line has going for it is that the company manufactures all its own components. “It doesn’t outsource different pieces and parts,” said Poncelet. “Kubota makes everything, including the engines. Everything, from front to back, is all Kubota. The other advantage is the machines are all metal. There is no plastic. They’re a well-rounded piece of equipment and very well-suited for this area.” Poncelet said the company makes all sizes of equipment. “The Kubota line

is suitable for all types of operations,” he said. “From acreages to large farms and everything in between.” Les Sawatzky of Hague agrees the Bobcat equipment line is dependable and versatile. The area farmer was presented with the keys to his newest purchase earlier this summer. Sawatzky took possession of the one-millionth Bobcat S650 Limited Edition unit sold after trading in an older unit. “I’ve owned about six different Bobcats over the years,” said Sawatzky. “The machines are great, and I always like to trade in an older unit for a newer unit because they hold their value. But I probably would have to say that a lot of it comes down to the service you get afterward. The service has to be good, and these guys look after you well.” Sawatzky said he bought his latest Bobcat to clean up an acreage. He said the brush mower attachment for the unit works extremely well for that purpose. Dustin Gulash, sales manager at Earthworks, formerly known as FGI, said the Bobcats in particular, and Kubota machines in general, are very popular in the local market. “There are a lot of very successful farmers in this area, and the construction industry in the Saskatoon region is really busy right now,” said Gulash. “But there is also a huge market in acreages.

When Paul took over his dad’s sales territory, he had big, muddy shoes to fill.

years

of nourishing human potential.

We became a publicly traded company 25 years ago, but our customers still think we’re a family business. As a longtime potash salesman, Bill Whitworth was never afraid to walk the fields with his customers. And he followed one simple rule: “Always do what you say you’re going to do.” This worked pretty well for him over the years. Bill sowed dozens of successful customer relationships, not to mention lifelong friendships. He even inspired his son, Paul, to become a salesman at PotashCorp. Today, thanks to his father’s nourishing example, Paul is growing his own relationships. To see the video of Bill’s story, visit PotashCorp.com/25

FCC tractors tour coming to Warman next month james@ccgazette.ca

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is hoping enthusiasm from students in rural schools north of Saskatoon will aid in the organization’s Drive Away Hunger campaign when classes resume. FCC is Canada’s leading agricultural lender for financing, insurance, software, learning programs and business services to Canadian producers, agribusiness and agrifood operators. The FCCs Drive Away Hunger campaign is currently one of the largest employee led food drives in Canada, said Deanna Hill, FCC Manager and Customer Service Director for the Saskatoon District. “We have been doing this for 11 years. The inspiration for the food donation cam-

paign was inspired by World Food Week,” said Hill. World Food Week is an global food program initiative that helps to fight hunger worldwide. Last year the FCCs campaign raised 6.5 million pounds in food for local food banks, said Garnet Volk, FCC Director for the Saskatoon District. “It tends to build on itself every year. This year we have new and many returning partners,” said Volk. Partners can donate money or food. A special component of the drive is a tractor tour, where every province, FCC field office and corporate office in Regina participates, said Volk. “We rotate the tour to one of the districts. This year the Saskatoon district hap-

pens to have the tour. What that means is we actually go to various partners, be it schools, ag retails, and coops where we actually take a trailer to pick up and deliver food directly to the local food banks.” Volk said the tour will stop at the Warman Co-op and one of its local schools the October 16-17 weekend along with other scheduled stops in Rosthern, Hague and Osler. Volk said FCCs mandate is always to help rural farmers but the significance of this drive is to raise awareness of the importance of food banks not only in urban centres but in rural areas as well. The FCC will kick off the Drive Away Hunger tractor tour with a BBQ at its Saskatoon office on October 15.

Growers with unseeded acres need to consider weed control options Growers across the west have been faced with a number of challenges this season that have left many acres unseeded. Cold, wet conditions this spring followed by devastating summer hail storms and flooding have taken millions of acres out of production. Affected growers will need to think about how to best manage those acres since weed control will be a key concern as preparations for next year begin. Weed management strategies such as chemfallow, pre-harvest and post-harvest applications

should be considered as a part of weed management practice. Unlike traditional summerfallow, chemfallow can save growers a lot of time since there is no need for tillage. But growers will need to take the time to properly scout fields for weed type and size in order to spray herbicides at the proper timing. Historically, as many as three applications of glyphosate have been applied to chemfallow rotations to control weeds. But with the confirmation of glyphosate-resistant weeds in all three prairie provinces, tank-mixing will

be more important than ever. Western Canada has seen glyphosate-resistant kochia spread from a few sites in southern Alberta to multiple sites across three provinces. Adding an additional mode of action to glyphosate is going to be critical in helping delay the weed from continuing to spread. “Proper herbicide rotation and tank-mixing with glyphosate wherever possible is extremely important and is a practice that is going to help control weeds in the long term,” said Danielle Eastman, Western Herbicides Brand

Sweet! Honey production in Saskatchewan dates back over 100 years By Joanne Kowalski Regional Crops Specialist Prince Albert Regional Services The history of honey production in Saskatchewan coincides with settlement and the first records date back to about 1900. Over the years, post-WWI sugar shortages and high prices prompted an interest and growth for the industry. The recorded number of colonies has increased from 85 producers in 1922 to 749 in 2013. Saskatchewan can boast be-

ing ranked first in Canada for honey production in pounds per hive and second for the number of colonies (Alberta is first). Out of 749 beekeepers, 18.9 million pounds of honey was produced from about 100,000 colonies worth $40 million. There are 110 commercial honey producers and some producers sell more than honey, including candles and beeswax for soaps and creams. A Saskatchewan bee colony can produce about 200 pounds. With the value of honey increasing over the past

few months, it is now worth over $2.10/pound. Honeybees also add value to surrounding crops through pollination; on average studies show an increase in yield for canola of about 30 percent. Bee colonies themselves are worth about $350. The main threats to beekeepers in Saskatchewan are varroa mites (a parasite that infect bees) and American foulbrood (a bacterial infection that can cause death in over 70 percent of hives in a site). Insecticide damage in 2012, as reported using new PMRA system in 2012, was about 1,000 colonies. Another danger for beekeepers is pesticide drift from nearby crop land. It is estimated that 12,000 colonies were affected by pesticides last year. In order to mitigate pesticide drift damage, a bee locator system was developed in response to the need for a more effective communication system between pesticide applicators and beekeepers. Led by the Ministry of Agriculture, a committee provided direction on development of an addition to the US-based website called Driftwatch where beekeepers can register bee yard sites on a map using google maps. From there, aerial or ground applicators can see where bees are situated and can adjust spraying schedules to minimize damage. Other sensitive crops (such as organic production, wineries, vegetable and fruit production) can register as well.

SASKATCHEWAN WEEKLY CROP REPORT

Harvest slightly behind schedule

Do you have

Two percent of the 2014 provincial crop is combined, while 12 percent is swathed or ready to straight-cut, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. The five-year average (20092013) for this time of year is six percent combined and 14 percent swathed or ready to straight-cut. Harvest has progressed the most in the southwest, where seven percent of the crop has been combined. At this time, average crop yields are being reported in most areas. Provincially, 27 percent of fall rye, 13 percent of winter wheat, 12 percent of field peas and eight percent of lentils are combined. Twenty-two percent of canola is swathed while 14 percent of mustard is swathed

Well or septic tank covers, electrical boxes, tree stumps or any other unattractive objects

or ready to straight-cut. Harvest operations have been slowed down by this week’s rain which covered most of the province. Rainfall across the province this past week ranged from trace amounts to several inches, with some areas in the eastcentral region receiving up to 141 mm. Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as 28 percent surplus, 71 percent adequate and one per-

cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 22 percent surplus, 75 percent adequate and three percent short. Heavy rain, strong winds, flooding and hail caused the majority of reported crop damage this week. Grasshoppers, wheat midge and sclerotinia also caused some damage. Farmers are hoping for improved weather to resume harvesting operations.

Beautify your home and garden with old tires? “What this yard needs is a bunch of used tires!” All right, that may not be exactly what you said as you surveyed your yard, thinking about what’s left on your summer to-do list, but it may be exactly the touch you are looking for. You would not be alone – you would be part of a growing trend involving products that are made of rubber derived from recycled tires, used for making versatile and beautiful patio tiles, lawn edging, landscaping mulch and many other products for your home and garden. Recycled rubber products naturally resist weather and temperature damage, as well as providing excellent durability, traction, and comfort. The molded products, such as Patio Tiles or Splash Pads for rain gutters, are lighter and more flexible than concrete but heavier and more durable than plastic. The mulch resists weeds and insects, does not float or blow away and is colour-fast for years – saving homeowners significant time and money. It is also a great option for under back-yard play structures. Shercom Industries, based in Saskatoon, has played a large role in developing the current trend by creating unique, highquality products that are attracting a growing number of supporters and are now carried by national chains as well as by many premium retailers of home and garden products here in Saskatoon. The business community and industry leaders have taken notice as well, honouring Shercom Industries with the 2013 Environment ABEX and SABEX Awards, and garnering praise from the Ministry of Environment, who described Shercom as a world class business and expressed gratitude,

Serving Saskatoon and its surrounding areas since 1981 The property in Saskatoon pictured here is landscaped to incorporate many products made from recycled tires. Using rubber mulch, rubber lawn edging, rubber tiles and incorporating a rubber-paved driveway, this project alone recycled over 650 tires! “for the work they do transforming tires from an environmental hazard into a usable product, allowing their customers to participate in the environmental sustainability of our planet.” Shercom is currently completing a major expansion which will increase their processing and manufacturing capacity to handle up to 1 million pounds of tires per week! The result is the ability to provide items such as rubber mulch to landscape contractors as well as large municipal and commercial projects at competitive prices, with the added benefit of many years of longevity. Shercom Industries is a true, Made-In-Saskatchewan success story. Shane Olson, company founder and Saskatoon-based entrepreneur, has overcome

many significant obstacles over a 20 year history that predates the current public awareness of the critical role recycling plays in sustainable industry, but credits the people of Saskatchewan for his success. “As much as we get credit for recycling, in reality, all we are doing is changing the shape of tires. It’s not recycling until someone uses the newly manufactured product…so it is our customers who are the real recyclers, and they deserve the credit and the congratulations.” Who would have thought that a pile of old tires is actually a beautiful thing?

Replacement selection and the cull list

By Alicia Sopatyk, BSA, AAg Regional Livestock Specialist Tisdale Regional Services Branch Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture

Replacement and cull selection often go hand-in-hand depending on the short and longterm goals of the producer. The first decision should be based on the farm goals – how many do we want to keep and how many can we keep. The second decision should be based on standards for replacement. Is it genetic gain or simply numbers you are trying to achieve? While goals help drive the operation, several physical, production and resource factors should also be evaluated. Without the proper resources, animals cannot be properly cared for. Resources to evaluate include, but are not limited to: pen space, labour and skill set requirements, and feed availability and quality. If any of these areas are lacking, increasing the herd size could compromise animal health and well-being. In addition, estimate the winter feeding period allowing for extra feed in the case of an extended winter, severe temperature drops, and changes in animal requirements based on physiological status. Feed testing can help analyze on-farm feeds and determine if supplemental feeds will be required. Consulting with a nutritionist will help to ensure animal nutrition requirements are met. Evaluating animals based on herd standards is the second part of the decision towards replacement and cull selection. Herd standards can assist operations in advancing the herd versus strictly growing it in numbers. Basic standards can relate to structural soundness, frame size/capacity, udder development and attachment, milk production, calving ease, calf viability and temperament. These standards should be reflective of the goals for the operation and therefore may differ slightly between each operation. Observation and production records can be utilized to ensure only animals meeting herd standards are kept. Pregnancy checking can also be a time to re-evaluate animals. Animals that are not bred should be culled, late-bred animals could be considered for culling as a means of tightening up the calving season, and body condition scoring can be a means of splitting the animals into groups for winter feeding to optimize gains and calf potential. Replacement selection and cull selection often go hand-in-hand. Goal setting is a fundamental part of the selection process – considering downsizing versus staying the same, retirement plans, and labour requirements. Maintaining a manageable and realistic herd is important. ON YOUR COMPUTER, SMART PHONE OR TABLET

New highway cameras installed Six new roadside cameras have been installed to enhance the road information provided by the Saskatchewan Highway Hotline. “We take pride in providing timely road information to travellers, and these new tools will help motorists with their route planning,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “The Highway Hotline receives millions of web visits and phone calls annually and we’re building on the service we currently provide.” Installation and activation of the new road cameras was done over the past several months and have been timed to coincide with major construction projects. The new camera locations are: • Highway 1 at Moose Jaw; • Highway 2 near the new St. Louis Bridge; • Two locations on Highway 10 (at the Avonhurst Grid and near Balgonie); • Highway 11 near Macdowall; and • Highway 16 near the Borden Bridge. The new cameras will supplement a host of other planned improvements including a new alert icon notifying motorists of accidents, spills and other events that may impede travel, as well as an alert ribbon that will soon be available to display weather warnings, amber alerts and other important notifications.

Sides deadlocked on proposed development in Corman Park By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

A rezoning debate between a developer and landowners south of Saskatoon has left the RM of Corman Park with a tough decision as to how to come to a solution that is fair to both parties. The debate surrounds a proposed development by Christmas Properties Developments on a parcel of land located at the corner of Highway 219 and Grasswood Road south of Saskatoon. Christmas Properties has requested the land be zoned DC1, which would allow more lots for commercial development. However, many landowners in the area are opposed to the developer’s request and want the parcel zoned DC2, citing light pollution concerns, the view of commercial buildings from adjacent properties, drainage issues and a substantial increase in traffic. The zoning disagreement between both groups started a year ago when Christmas

Properties began trucking in fill to the proposed area of development without a permit, which irked landowners Keith and Matina Morton. At the RM Council Meeting, August 18, the Mortons were joined by about 15 of the 40 landowners who are against rezoning the parcel. “The application of Christmas Properties Development to rezone Parcel M from DC1 to DC2 was defeated by council in June. Now what can be clearer than that,” said Morton. “All of council voted against this proposal. Now many people in the neighbourhood are opposed to this proposal. How many times do we need to go through this?” At the May 20 RM of Corman Park Council meeting, a motion was passed to complete a public consultation with landowners located within a one mile radius for their proposed four lot DC1 plan. Letters were also sent out to landowners in June with responses due on July 10. There were also meetings held with

administration and the developer and with administration, adjacent landowners and Crosby Hanna and Associates, the company hired to work on behalf of Christmas Properties Development. With both groups at a stalemate, the decision Corman Park has to make now is whether or not to allow Christmas Properties to prepare a CDR for parcel M. After the Mortons’ presentation to council, Division 1 Councilor Sherry Mervold introduced a motion to not allow Christmas Properties Development to come forward with CDR for a DC1 zoning of parcel M. Mervold’s motion was supported by Division 4 Councilor Gordon Gunoff, but remaining councilors still had mixed feelings. Division 3 Councilor David Fox said regardless if council approves the developer to prepare a CDR for DC1 zoning the area is not going to remain a rural residential area. “There is going to be fur-

ther and further development, much more development coming forward at the corner of Cartwright Street and Highway 219. The character of the area is going to change.” Based on a presentation by Christmas Properties at an August 11 Planning Committee meeting and hearing both sides of the story with the Mortons’ presentation to council, Division 8 Councilor Wendy Trask said there are a lot of unanswered questions. “I have to admit that I am very confused right now. I would prefer not to vote on this because we need to talk about this more,” said Trask. Division 7 Councilor Joanne Janzen agreed with Councilors Fox and Trask, but said a CDR could help answer questions about drainage issues that council doesn’t currently understand. Currently about 9,000 cubic metres of fill has already been trucked onto the parcel and the developer wants to truck in another 40,000 cubic meters. “I think we as a council

need to be very cognizant of drainage issues, especially because there is a pipe in this drainage pond now, issues are not going to stop on the boundaries of this particular property,” said Janzen. “How will that impact downstream? I don’t know. Hopefully a full blown CDR will shed more light on those concerns.” One of Morton’s major concerns with Christmas Properties Development is the location of the drainage pond, which is adjacent on the north quarter of his property. Morton said he would rather have the pond, which he explained is half the size of a football field moved onto the developer’s land. He explained the pond would create a build up for mosquitos and algae. He said eventual cracks at the bottom of the pond during a dry season could cause water in the pond to leak into the water table. Jim Walters, representing Crosby Hanna and Associates, spoke on behalf of Christmas

Properties Development at the council meeting and said the amount of fill relates to the drainage plan. “If this were a residential subdivision that much fill would not be required because the drainage standard is different,” said Walters. Walters also said the determination of where to place the drainage pond is determined by the lay of the land. “In terms of the location of the pond the engineer I spoke to said they look at the natural drainage patterns in the area, the site itself and how it’s sloped.” Judy Harwood asked Morton how many lots and what type of business would be suitable in a DC2 zoning of parcel M. Morton said he would be okay with a service garage or a convenience store, but was adamant on keeping parcel M zoned DC2. Council decided more discussion was needed on the issue and chose to defer the debate to a planning committee meeting September 8.

After a summer filled with financial uncertainty, Bethany College has been able to open its doors to students for another academic year. While the college is offering a full academic program, there have been some painful cuts, mainly to support staff, as the 87-year old Bible College in Hepburn takes a hard look at its future. Enrolment at the college this fall is estimated at about 75 students, according to Bethany College Director of Advancement Rick Guenther. That’s about 60 per cent of the traditional enrolment numbers. Because the college relies heavily on tuition fees for a significant portion of its operating funds, the decline in student numbers has affected the college’s bottom line. Fortunately, short-term donations from college alumni, church supporters and others have allowed Bethany College to remain open for at least one more year. “Last February, we were preparing our estimated budget for the next year for our Board of Directors,” explained Guenther in an interview at the college on Friday, August 29. “Even at that point, we were noticing some significant differences in our enrolment patterns for first year students. We decided to estimate really conservatively with our budget because it didn’t look like our enrolment was coming in as it should be. “By the end of April our numbers looked even worse than what we had put in our original estimate, and so we were looking at the possibility of having a 50 per cent decrease in our enrolment this year.” Guenther said traditionally, the college has an enrolment of

Bethany College students Joshua Kehler and Julia Pauls set up an espresso coffee machine in the student lounge on campus. Student enrolment has declined this year, but college officials are optimistic the 87-year old institution will continue. about 120 students. Last year, that had dropped to about 110. The budget that was drawn up in February would have meant some cutbacks, but Guenther said the college was prepared to deal with that. The unexpected sharp decline in enrolment applications in April made the situation much more serious. “If enrolment dropped 50 per cent, to between 50 and 55 students, it’s questionable if the college could handle that,” said Guenther. “We had to step back and ask if we could afford to keep the doors open. The number one priority is the students. We could not compromise the quality of programming that we’re charging tuition for. So we put the question on the table.”

The college’s board of directors put out a direct financial appeal to their constituents. The college is affiliated with the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches, as well as certain church conferences in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Traditionally, about 40 per cent of the college’s funds come from donations. “We put the word out to them,” said Guenther. “We told them our situation, and the repsonse we received was really phenomenal. We were asking for two things: for the sake of the students, to allow us to provide programming to ensure they could finish up their programs, if this did end up CONTINUED ON PAGE B15
