Quick action by Martensville teens prevents kitchen fire from spreading

Happy 80th Birthday

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Two teenagers who noticed smoke coming out of a second storey window in Martensville on Friday, October 10 didn’t hesitate to call 911.

That quick action by Jacob Joslin and Cassidy Joslin prevented what could have been a major housefire in a multi-family housing unit on Sixth Avenue. Martensville firefighters and RCMP officers responded to the call about 1:30 p.m.

Captain Ryan Cross of the Martensville Fire Department confirmed the housing unit’s smoke alarm was going off and smoke was coming through the open second-floor window.

Cross was able to enter the building by forcing the front door. He found smoke in the kitchen area and went back out for his breathing apparatus.

No occupants of the home were present at the time. RCMP officers secured the area and did a search to ensure everyone was out of the home.

Cross said the smoke was coming from an oven in which two turkeys were roasting. One of the birds had apparently caught fire. After dousing the fire, the smouldering turkeys were carried outside to cool.

Warman firefighters were initially called in as backup,

Cassidy Joslin and Jacob Joslin called 911 when they noticed smoke coming out of a second-storey window in a home in Martensville on Friday, October 10 but were not needed on scene as the damage was minimal.

“It was good that it was caught early,” said Cross. “It also shows the importance of working smoke alarms. The kitchen is a common place for housefires to start. It’s a little ironic that this happened dur-

Conciliation next step in teachers’ contract talks A conciliation board has been established as the next step in the collective bargaining process between the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee (GTBC) and the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF).

On June 18, 2014, the STF applied for conciliation to the Chairperson of the Education Relations Board (ERB). The Chairperson, Beth Bilson, has overseen the appointment of three members consisting of a member from each side, as well as a chair who was selected by the other two members.

The members of the new

board are: • Andrew C.L. Sims Q.C., chair, is well-known for his experience in resolving labour disputes.

• Roy Challis, representing the GTBC, is a former teacher who also served as a president of the Saskatchewan School Boards Association and as a board member for the Living Sky School Division.

• Carol Moen, representing the STF, is a former teacher who also served as a president of the STF. The board will be meeting October 16 and 17 to begin its work.

A large fan was used to clear the smoke from the building.

Bakker easily Firefighters contain stubble field wins byelection blaze along Warman’s west edge

By TERRY PUGH

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Nick Bakker is the new Mayor of Dalmeny.

Bakker was elected with an overwhelming majority in a byelection on Wednesday, October 8. Bakker received 335 votes while Joel Mierau, the other candidate in the election, received 49 votes.

Voter turnout was characterized as “above average” by election officials.

The byelection was necessary following the resignation of former mayor Allan Earle earlier this fall.

Bakker will serve as Mayor until a full municipal election is held in 2016.

Nick Bakker Bakker, who is currently employed as manager of customer service for transportation with the City of Saskatoon, is a long-time resident of Dalmeny. He served as Chief of the Dalmeny Police Service from 1982 to 2006, and is also the author of Dalmeny’s original Emergency Measures Organization plan.

Bakker said he was “surprised with the high voter turnout.

“Having lived in the community so long, and having voted in a lot of municipal elections, it’s kind of a shock to see that almost 400 people came out to vote,” said Bakker in an interview on Thursday, October 9. “That’s a very high percentage. I’m overwhelmed by the amount of community support. That tells me the population is behind what I stand for and where we’re headed.”

Bakker signed the oath of office on Thursday, October 9 in preparation for stepping into the position as soon as possible.

“I will be meeting with the town administration today to get up to speed on all the issues the council is dealing with,” said Bakker. “I want to be informed before I go into my first council meeting on October 20.”

Bakker said his immediate priority is to ensure accountability to the electorate.

“I want to ensure there is open and transparent government,” said Bakker. “That’s the primary concern.”

Bakker said it will be interesting to be taking on the role of chair of the municipal police commission.

“When I retired as police chief, I was asked at that time to sit on the commission, but I declined,” said Bakker. “I knew at some point I would like to run for Mayor of Dalmeny, and if I was elected, I knew I would have that opportunity.”

Bakker is also a member of the District Development Appeals Board, a committee with representatives from several municipalities that adjudicates in cases where someone is appealing a planning or zoning issue in any of the participating municipalities. He is currently chair of the committee, and will have to step down from that position. However, he will continue to be a member of the committee.

Firefighters from Warman, Martensville and Osler worked for several hours on Friday, October 10 to protect two farmyards northwest of Warman endangered by a stubborn fire in a stubble field.

Warman Fire and Rescue received the call shortly before 4:00 p.m., and three units responded immediately to the scene, where a thick column of black smoke could be seen for several kilometers.

The fire apparently began as a controlled burn but got out of control when a southerly wind fanned the flames. Fuelled by tinder-dry stubble and chaff, the fire flared up significantly when it came in contact with dry cattails and scattered bush in a low area just south of the new Highway 305.

Martensville and Osler fire departments were called for backup, and each department sent attack trucks and water tankers.

Access to the fire was difficult in places because of soft ground conditions.

Warman RCMP and Corman Park Police also responded to the incident.

Two front-end loaders operated by local farmers and a grader from the RM of Corman Park were also utilized to make firebreaks to contain the blaze.

The big concern of firefighters was that a shift in the wind direction could jeopardize either the nearby farm buildings, or potentially the west side of the City of Warman.

While firefighters used water to put out hot spots on the stubble field, the main blaze in the inaccessible cattail slough was left to burn itself out. About 5:30 p.m., just as firefighters were mopping up, the fire suddenly got bigger, with five-foot tall flames shooting up out of the cattails. The fire remained contained, however.

Fire crews were still on the scene around 6 p.m., but were expected to complete mopping up operations by early evening.

No one was injured in the incident.

Vanscoy School reports record $6,600 donation to Terry Fox Foundation Submitted by

BRENDA ERICKSON

Prairie Spirit School Division

Vanscoy School has raised over $6600 for the Terry Fox Foundation this fall. For this Kindergarten to Grade 8 school with 155 students, this impressive fundraising total is equivalent to about $40 per student.

“The spirit of Terry Fox is alive and well in the hearts of students at Vanscoy School,” explained Vice-Principal Darin McKay. He said there is a culture of respect and admiration for Terry Fox at the school as the students are well aware of Fox’s bravery and sacrifice.

Each year, Vanscoy School embarks on a fundraising campaign to raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation.

This year, the school’s senior students set up fundraising incentives to encourage students in their efforts. The school passed all three fundraising milestones and therefore the students earned all three rewards on

Thursday, October 9: touring a corn maze tour, teachers kissing a pig and shaving the heads of the Principal and Vice-Principal. “It was a fantastic day for everyone,” said McKay. Fundraising efforts included collecting pledges, a bake sale, a lemonade sale and a pancake breakfast. “Although it was the student body raising the money, the entire community gets behind the event,” McKay added.

In addition, the school hosted a Terry Fox Walk on September 24. A circular course was set up around town for participants to walk or run around. Knowing Terry’s work ethic, many people chose to run multiple laps around the course.

McKay said the fundraising for Terry Fox is in addition to the school’s work for UNICEF and the Diabetes Association. In fact, Vanscoy School is one of the top three schools in the province in terms of funds raised for UNICEF.

Corman Park had good year: Harwood

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

due to the RM’s operating loss of between $100,000 to $120,000, which is derived from staff, environmental and decommissioning costs.

The decommissioning alone cost the RM $3.2 million in 2013.

“One of the comments we received from urban municipalities were in relation to their future growth as well as commentary from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MOHI) with reference to highway corridors as well as the Water Security Agency,” she said.

Row said council is committed to working with stakeholders in order for the proposal to be successful with the proposed amendments.

PUBLIC WORKS

It has also been a busy year for Director of Public Works Joe Stewart.

Stewart spoke about his department’s gravel road program, which completed 400 miles of road this year.

That was 100 miles more than last year because in 2013, most of the department’s efforts were concentrated on late season flooding events.

There have been numerous culverts installed, as well as drainage ditches and ditch clearing in the RM, said Stewart.

Stewart added there is a long term plan for capital road projects.

“We are still making multiyear plans for major pavement projects and recapping haul roads and residential roads,” said Stewart. “I am confident in the direction we are going.”

POLICING

Corman Park Police Chief John Garnet was the last presenter at the AGM. He said from January to September 2013, there was a total of 1000 calls for service, with offences ranging from 2300 traffic tickets for speeding and overweight trucks, 43 pet complaints, 50 fires and 136 suspicion person calls.

Garnet also said Corman Park Police assisted the RCMP on 200 complaint calls.

Overall, it has been a very rewarding and challenging year for the RM of Corman Park, said Harwood.

“I work hard to maintain a professional manner with representing all of you,” she said, addressing ratepayers at the meeting. “I am very proud to be your Reeve and to say I live in Corman Park. We have a very dedicated and knowledgeable council that has watched over the past year, working as a team with a shared vision.”

Fortune Minerals dominates Corman Park meeting

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The ultimate decision on what to do with a proposed Fortune Minerals facility was the dominant theme during a question and answer session at the RM of Corman Park’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) at St. Anne’s Parish Hall in Saskatoon on Wednesday, October 8.

No zoning proposal has come forward from the company yet, but it was clear that many ratepayers are strongly opposed to the project.

Judy Harwood, Reeve of the RM of Corman Park, said she has received about 350 letters from Langham residents, which suggested to her that 99.9 per cent of the population are still against the project.

Harwood said what she can’t understand about the process is why various government and agency impact studies never mentioned the human impact the proposed facility could have on ratepayers living in the area where the facility could possibly be built.

“If you are frustrated because your councilor, reeve or administration won’t give a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as far as their decision on a Fortune Minerals proposal, remember we are protecting your interests here in Corman Park,” said Harwood.

“I ask for your patience as your council. We are playing a waiting game and must do so until a Fortune Minerals position comes forward.”

Fierce opposition to the proposed Fortune Minerals facility has become ugly, with untrue rumors directed at Harwood, which she steadfastly confronted at the AGM. “It has come to my attention

A reminder of dangers that lurk in rural areas

Write us a letter, but please make sure you sign it

Thankfully, no one was hurt or injured in last week’s train derailment near Wadena.

COMMENTARY

Recently, the Gazette received a letter to the editor from a resident of Martensville. In the letter the resident said that many drivers exceed the posted speed limit of 40 kilometers per hour on a section of 2nd Avenue South. The writer expressed a deep concern for the safety of children in the area. The points raised by the writer are relevant and important, and are no doubt shared by residents in other parts of Martensville. In fact, they’re shared by residents in Warman, Osler, Dalmeny, Langham, Delisle, Saskatoon and every other community in the region. Every town, village and city has this same issue.

To their credit, the police do their best to enforce speed laws, whether it is on provincial highways or municipal streets. Traffic enforcement blitzes regularly catch a high number of offenders, and sadly, it seems that enforcement is always necessary.

So if the letter raised a legitimate issue and was well written, how come it doesn’t appear in print in this issue?

Here’s why.

The letter was was unsigned, and had no contact information. Why the writer chose to withold his or her name is a mystery.

The Gazette welcomes letters to the editor. Letters are important because they increase community conversation, and they are often entertaining and enlightening.

But there are certain rules that have to be followed. It is the policy of this newspaper, and every other legitimate newspaper, whether weekly or daily, not to run anonymous letters or those signed only with a pseudonym. We need to know the full name of the person who wrote the letter (not just the first name and last intitial, for example.) On the Gazette’s editorial page, the policy is laid out very clearly: “The Clark’s Crossing Gazette welcomes Letters to the Editor regarding topics of interest to our readers. The Gazette reserves the right to edit letters for brevity and clarity. Letters must be accompanied by the author’s name, signature and daytime telephone number for verification purposes...

Letters must be signed and include contact information for authenticity purposes.”

Ultimately, the publication of a letter in a newspaper is a privilege, not a right. The newspaper has to ensure that the information that is printed is not libelous or defamatory, because ultimately the newspaper can be held liable for the content of letters that it prints.

If a writer feels strongly enough about a subject that he or she is willing to put pen to paper (or fingers to a keyboard), then the writer should be able to stand behind what they say in the letter.

This does not mean that the writer’s name always has to be printed along with the letter. There may be exceptional circumstances where the writer’s identity is best not revealed. That’s why you may see a letter that ends with “name withheld at request”. But the bottom line is, the newspaper editor needs to know who wrote the letter.

That’s the only way we can confirm the legitimacy of the letter and its content.

Letters to the editor are a long-established tradition in newspapers, and are a key element in the freedom of the press, because they provide a direct voice for the community. The guidelines for publication of these letters are the result of many decades of experience. They are there to help ensure letters are credible, concise and clear. Unlike many social media sites, the letters column is not a place for personal attacks, defamation or libel.

Provincial Politics

Rather than a tragedy, we have instead another reminder of the serious hazards that accompany living in rural Saskatchewan. It is time for a closer examination of exactly how safe rural life is.

The latest threat came last Tuesday morning on the CN tracks some 20 kilometres west of the town when about 26 cars derailed in a 100-car long train.

The cars caught fire and produced toxic smoke that billowed several storeys into the air.

“It’s huge,” Alison Squires, editor of the Wadena News, told CBC News describing what she saw shortly after the derailment. “It’s taller than an elevator.”

The derailment resulted in about 50 people being evacuated from Clair, a kilometre away. Several farms also had to be evacuated and Wadena students were kept inside all day.

Specialized air monitoring equipment from the Environment Ministry was dispatched.

But while the event seemed relatively minor in the light of how big such a disaster might have been, it certainly wasn’t minor to those impacted.

“I’m concerned for my animals,” Clair-area farmer Jason Evans, told the CBC. “I’ve got 600 head of buffalo there. It’s going over the top of my pastures, its going over the top of my hay field.

“Is that going to affect my hay and my livestock is what I’m kind of interested to find

men from out-of-province who had come to Saskatchewan to find work.

Add to this cocktail the unpredictability of our winter blizzards, ice or summer storms that make working conditions, travel, and simply living that much more dangerous.

Much to the Saskatchewan Party government’s credit, it has put special emphasis on smaller companies complying with the province’s occupational health and safety laws. Many would suggest this is nothing more than the job of government, but there is little doubt the government’s emphasis on compliance has ruffled a few feathers in business.

Also, the province’s STARS air ambulance system has somewhat addressed the issue of emergency response to isolated rural people. And while co-existence hasn’t been perfect, the air helicopters have not come at the price of replacing needed local ambulance

service. (That said, the decline in rural hospitals from 20 years ago makes one wonder whether we are really all that much further ahead.)

But even with the tragedy of Lac Megantic, Que., the one area where this government and others have made little progress is the inherent dangers of moving hazardous material by rail.

In rural Saskatchewan, we can mitigate some dangers like farmyard overhead power lines. But as individuals, we can’t do much about the dangerous commodities that are hauled through rural areas, villages, towns and smaller cities.

A potential disaster like the Wadena derailment is a good time for us to take stock and press governments for more regulation of the rail industry to mitigate the dangers of moving this material.

The Wadena derailment was just the latest warning.

About that ‘catastrophe’ in the House of Commons

By Ralph Goodale, MP Media reports last week revealed serious structural defects in the ornate stonework and stained glass windows that crown the House of Commons chamber like a cathedral dome.

There was a real possibility of falling bricks and debris.

One headline proclaimed that Parliament was at risk of “catastrophic damage”. Repair crews were called in immediately.

Yes, this historic chamber of Canadian democracy must be kept in sound physical condition. But the real catastrophe for Parliament is more likely in the behaviour of the Harper government than in the building they occupy.

Another example of political degradation emerged just a few days ago when a leaked document exposed Mr. Harper’s plan to amend the Copyright Act to allow political parties to swipe video clips out of television

out.”

And the rest of us need to be concerned about the potential disaster posed by this derailment and other such dangers in rural living.

For far too long now, little thought has been given to the inherent dangers that accompany living in rural settings.

But the reality of farming, the oil industry, construction, forestry or any of a number of rural-based occupations that often involve working with heavy equipment pose serious dangers.

Increased economic activity in the oil and mining sector has meant even more dangers; including on rural highways and gravel roads where heavy trucks, farm equipment and passenger vehicles can quickly become a deadly mix.

It was no small coincidence that during the same week of the Wadena derailment there were a series of road facilities; all of them involving young

news programs - without permission and without remuneration - to be used in partisan attack advertising.

We all have complaints from time to time about how we get treated in particular news stories, but by and large legitimate journalists work hard to make their newscasts professional and accurate. They try to present relevant, useful information in context and in a complete, fair and balanced way. None of these virtues apply to the vicious Conservative attack ads that have so soiled Canadian politics in recent years.

Mr. Harper’s new rules would legalize what amounts to expropriation without compensation.

The purloined material could be edited, twisted and distorted out of all proportion, without any possibility of complaint or remedy, and the broadcaster from whom it was stolen would be forced to run the dishonest advertising made from it.

This is a direct assault on the integrity of journalists and freedom of the press. It blurs the line between “news” and propaganda. In the eyes of most Canadians, there is an important difference. When asked whom they trust most in public life, Canadians typically identify people like veteran television news anchor Lloyd Robertson. When asked whom they trust least, a large percentage say Stephen Harper.

Mr. Harper’s problem is hyper-partisanship. To him, political advantage supersedes every other principle by which public life might be conducted.

That was the instinct behind his recent amendments to the Canada Elections Act which he forced through Parliament, making it harder for certain groups of Canadians to vote and easier for electoral fraud to go undetected.

It was partisan advantage that drove the Conservative

“In-and-Out” election financing scam. It took four years of investigating by Elections Canada and a police raid on Conservative Party headquarters, but in the end charges were laid, the Conservative Party had to plead guilty, was convicted, and the Court imposed the biggest possible penalty the law allows.

It was the same corrosive mentality that led to the deceitful robo-call fiasco in Guelph where a Conservative operative was convicted of electoral fraud.

The Federal Court of Canada has, in fact, expressly found that voter suppression and electoral fraud occurred in a number of ridings in the last federal election and, according to the Court, the most likely source of the information used to commit that fraud was the Conservative Party’s database.

These are the kinds of truly debilitating things that make for real catastrophes in Parliament.

Students gathering food for needy

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The best way to give back to a community is to get involved, which is the goal behind the Great Plains College Students Association’s dry goods drive which kicks off Halloween night.

From October 31 to November 3, the students’ association is asking residents to drop off a non-perishable food item at bins set up at the college, which will then be collected and sent to a local food bank.

The college has been organizing charitable drives for many years, which has always been part of building stronger con-

nections in the community, said Robin Bendig, program coordinator at Great Plains College.

Bendig is working with student association lead Fabian Villenueve on the drive. He said the initiative is about helping the community.

Villeneuve is originally from Saskatoon but grew up in Prince Albert.

He is currently pursuing a Youth Care Worker Program at Great Plains College and said the drive could help test his learning skills.

“I am going to be connecting with children and youth in schools and hospitals. I am going to have to connect with peo-

ple to help them deal with their own problems and find a way to help them better themselves,” said Villenueve.

The association’s executive is made up of four students, who all share revolving presidency status with the association.

Bendig said every year the college looks at objectives such as how the students can represent themselves in the community, as well how to develop and implement student-coordinated events and activities.

“They administer their own student fees in the interests of the students attending, provide support and assistance for the engagement of the student body,” said Bendig.

Martensville signs updated joint-use agreement with PSSD

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The City of Martensville is updating its joint use agreement with Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) to include new facilities, including the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP).

Martensville city council endorsed the agreement at its meeting on Tuesday, October 7. The PSSD Board is expected to discuss the agreement at its next meeting, slated for October 20.

The city and school division first entered into a joint use agreement several years ago.

At the council meeting, Martensville City Manager Scott Blevins explained the updated agreement is similar to the existing document, but a new one was needed because of the

new facilities that are coming on stream.

The new agreement covers PSSDowned facilities including Valley Manor and Venture Heights elementary schools and grounds, Martensville High School and grounds; and cityowned facilities including the Martensville Sports Centre, Civic Centre, North Ridge Centennial Community Centre, Chrome Dome Park, Martensville Aquatic Centre, Martensville Athletic Pavilion (Martensville Field House), tennis courts, ball diamonds, and parks, paths and waterways.

PSSD Board chair Larry Pavloff said the new agreement is likely to be adopted at the next school division CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Updated joint-use agreement signed

Steve Smith’s hardware store has been a fixture on Centennial Drive in Martensville for three decades.

But at the end of October, the familiar sign is coming down as the owner gets set to retire.

“It was a tough decision in some ways, but I have a few health problems and it’s time to move on,” said Smith in an interview on Wednesday, October 8. “I’ll miss the people; the customers and suppliers. But I won’t miss the stress and working 75 hours a week trying to stay on top of things. It’s incredible how busy we are.”

Smith, who will turn 60 in a few months, started the hardware store in Martensville in 1985. He and his wife, Louise, moved to Martensville in 1977, when the population of the town was about 750 people. At the time, he was working as a welder at the potash mine at Vanscoy.

But in the mid-1980s, the market for potash slumped and Smith was one of many workers laid off at the mine.

With a young family to support, he put up his life savings, took out a second mortgage on his house and opened a hardware store.

Martensville’s population had climbed to about 1800 people in 1985, but there were almost no businesses in the community.

“I decided I would make my own job, and I saw a need for a hardware store.

In those days you couldn’t buy anything in Martensville,” said Smith.

“You couldn’t buy a pound of nails or a paintbrush or anything, so the timing was right. It needed to be done.”

His original intention was to also do a bit of welding on the side and repair small motors in a back shop. It was a gamble, and with his house on the line, he had a strong incentive to make the business pay.

“We actually made money in the first year of operation,” said Smith.

“That convinced me it was a good investment. You get out of it what you put into it.”

Having a local hardware was a boon to builders and homeowners in the community, and it wasn’t long till Smith was carrying a lot of stock that other stores weren’t.

“We started out with just hardware, but we had a lot of demand for lumber, so we started carrying that as well,” he said.

Smith said the business currently turns over inventory about 12 to 14 times a year.

“We don’t have a lot of space,” he said. “We’ve been in business thirty years and we outgrew the building 29 years ago.”

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Steve Smith is one of Martensville’s veteran businesspeople, a charter member of the community’s Kinsmen Club and the only original member of the Martensville Fire Department still on active service Smith said the biggest change in Martensville over the last three decades is the sheer size of the community and the number of people in the city.

“It used to be a very blue-collar, bedroom community,” he said. “But now there are high-end houses and a lot of very large businesses here to serve that big market.”

Smith said he and Louise decided last July that this would be the final year of business for Martensville Hardware. Faced with knee surgeries that will take him out of commission for about six months, Smith said they realized it would be difficult to keep up the pace.

“We had to do something,” he said.

“We couldn’t keep going at the rate we’re going. We announced in the first week of September that we were closing the business and we were going to liquidate our stock and sell our equipment and also eventually sell the building.

“But then about two weeks after that, we were approached by Anthony Nienhuis, owner of Martensville Building and Home Supply, and we’ve been talking,” continued Smith. “We actually just signed the deal last night (October 7). He’s buying the building, the equipment and the stock. This loca-

tion will be closed, but I’ll be sticking around for the next six months to help with the transition by looking after my existing customers. The deal becomes effective November 1, and we’ll start moving our inventory over to the other location the last week of November.

“We’ll work with the new owner and try to bring the better part of our business to his business and try to make it a success.”

After the transition period, Smith said he intends to let his knees heal up and then spend a lot more time at his vacation cabin at Candle Lake.

“I’ll never retire there, though,” he said. “I’d get bored. I have to stay active, and I want to stay in Martensville.”

Smith’s ties with the community are deep. About the only post he hasn’t held is mayor, and he just laughed when asked if that was in his plans.

“Not a chance,” he said. “I learned a long time ago that if you’re a small business owner you don’t want to be on council. I think I’ve done my bit for the town in other ways.”

The only original member of the fire department, Smith was one of a group of about a dozen people who worked with the town council of the day to get a volunteer fire department started in 1976-77.

“A couple of members of council found a 1953 Chevy fire truck in Ontario and they drove it back,” said Smith.

“That truck broke down on a regular basis. We also had a 30 foot by 30 foot garage package building on Centennial Drive for a fire hall. Then in the early 1980s we built that new buildling we have now.”

Smith’s son Michael is also a member of the fire department. His other son Russell works for the City of Martnesville’s Parks and Community Services Department.

Smith is also a charter membr of the Martensville Kinsmen Club, which began in 1988.

“I didn’t want anything to do with it at first, but I got talked into going to a meeting and two meetings later I became a member,” said Smith. “The club’s motto is ‘serving the community’s greatest needs’ and we raise money for different things in town. And we help with Telemiracle, the big Kinsmen Foundation event that raises money for speical needs like medical devices and travel for surgeries and medical treatment.”

Smith is also heavily involvled in the Saskatoon Stock Car Racing Association, whch he joined in 1971.

“I started out helping on the cars, and I got my first race car in 1973,” he said with a grin. “I don’t drive those things anymore, though.”

The Warman Farmers Market held its last outdoor market of the season last week

The Warman Farmers Market (WFM) wrapped up its main season last week, holding its final outdoor market on Thursday, Ocober 9.

“It was a successful year,” said Pat Reid, volunteer coordinator of the vendor-operated market. “I think it fills a rael need for residents and local growers, and it also adds a lot to the character of the city. People support it because they can buy locally-grown food, and also because of the atmosphere.”

The market is expected to hold a Christmas-oriented event

later this fall before wrapping up entirely.

The WFM holds its annual general meeting in February, and one of the issues the members will be looking at is who will replace Reid as coordinator. Reid was a primary organizer of the WFM five years ago, and has helped guide the group since then. But personal and work commitments are demanding more of her time, and she will be stepping down once the season wraps up.

“It’s mostly due to time constraints,” said Reid in an interview last week. “It does take time to get things set up every

week, coordinate the weekly market and help get things set up. It’s been enjoyable, no question. But it’s maybe time for someone else to take it on.”

The WFM will continue next summer at the Warman City Hall parking lot on Klassen Street, but that is likely to be the final year at that location, said Reid.

“We’re not sure where the new location will be,” she said.

“One option is the Legends Centre, but that’s not confirmed.

There is also a feeling among many vendors that a downtown location works best, so we’ll see what happens.”

Updated joint-use agreement signed meeting.

“It’s essential that we have this type of agreement with our partners,” said Pavloff, noting a similar agreement is in place for Warman. “It benefits everyone if the facilities can be shared in a way that allows the schools to use them during school hours and the community members in the evenings and on weekends.”

Under the terms of the new agreement, Martensville High School has exclusive access to the north court of the Martensville Athletic Pavilion from 6:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.

Martensville City Council also endorsed an agreement with PSSD to lease school division land for the Martensville Athletic Pavilion and adjacent parking lot. Under the terms of the agreement, the city will pay PSSD a nominal lease fee of $1 annually for the use of the land. The 30-year lease agreement covers the period June 1, 2013 till May 30, 2043. The city is responsible for building and

maintaining the MAP building and for developing the parking lot. The city and school division will each pay 50 per cent of the

cost of maintaining the parking lot. The city also has the right of first refusal on the sale of the property.

Family physician looks forward to coming home to practice in Martensville

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Dr. Allison Adamus and her husband, physiotherapist Trevor Adamus, are looking forward to coming home to Martensville.

The young couple are currently renovating an office building on Centennial Drive in preparation for opening Martensville Collective Health and Wellness, a new multi-disciplinary medical clinic in mid-November.

Dr. Adamus will be Martensville’s second family physician, and she is hopeful that in the near future, more doctors and other health care practioners will also be joining her clinic. Among the services they anticipate are nurses, mental health specalists and a pharmacy counsellor.

The opening of the new clinic happens to coincide with the impending retirement, expected in mid-December, of Dr. Karamdad, who has operated a separate clinic in Martensville since 1992. The timing of the two events is purely concidental and they are not related.

Allison graduated from Martensville High School in 2000, earned her medical degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 2008, and completed her residency in New Brunswick before returning to Saskatchewan in 2011 to begin her practice.

Allison said she “fell in love” with family medicine and chose that as her specialty for a variety of reasons.

“It’s the discipline where you have a hand in a bit of everything,” she said. “But mainly it’s because of the connection with the patients. It’s a nice feeling to be able to have that ability to make such a difference in the outcome of people’s lives, and to really impact the way things are going to turn out for them.”

She and Trevor have been in Prince Albert for the past

three years, where Allison has a family practice. She also coordinated the U of S program for training family physicians in that city.

Trevor is from Saskatoon.

He and his twin brother Trent grew up playing sports, and that was one of the reasons he was attracted to the discipline of physiotherapy. He graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy in 2008, and obtained his Masters in Clinical Science and Manipulative Therapy in 2013.

He also has his Certificate in Sports Therapy, provides coverage to the professional bull riders association, and has extended professional services to a number of high-level athletic events including the World Junior Track and Field Championships.

more close-knit city, and we also want to be involved in the community on a daily basis.”

Allison said the appeal of moving home factored heavily into the couple’s decision to relocate.

“Definitely,” she said. “That was the biggest reason we chose to come here.”

She says while Martensville has had difficulty attracting family physicians in the past, she’s believes she can convince her colleagues to join her in the new practice.

“We’’re very confident,” she said. “We need to get the new clinic up and running and we need to be able to show there is a need here. Once we’re able to do that we’ll have no trouble at all.”

Allison said she can accommodate three full-time doctors in the clinic as it stands.

Eventually, the clinic could expand to include additional physicians. She estimates there is enough demand in Martensville and area to keep “10 to 12 doctors”’ busy. To gauge demand, she will open a registration waiting list for patients about a week before the clinic is due to open.

The couple worked with the City of Martensville to make the clinic a reality.

“The city council really felt this was an important priority for the community,” explained Martensville Economic Development Officer Dillon Shewchuk in an interview October 8. “It’s an expensive business proposition for any new entrepreneur to set up a medical clinic, and so we worked to come up with an incentive package that enabled them to make it happen.”

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Dr. Alison Adamus and her husband, physiotherapist Trevor Adamus, are launching a new multi-discipline medical clinic in Martensville. The pair anticipates the clinic will open by mid-November and are welcoming new patients.

COMING HOME

In an interview on Thursday, October 9, Allison said the lure of being able to practice family medicine in her home town, where her parents still live, is the fulfilment of a dream.

“We’ve been looking to set up a collaborative, teambased mdical centre in Prince Albert for a few years, but things weren’t quite lining up and it didn’t feel right,” said Allison. “Then we decided to look a little closer to home.

The opportunity came up here and it was just right. We knew this was the right space and the right time. We’ve been doing some of the renovations ourselves with a lot of help from my dad.”

The young couple have a five-year-old son and a oneyear-old daughter, so they will fit right into the community.

That’s one of the big appeals to moving, added Trevor.

“It’s a smaller community, like Prince Albert, and there’s more of a community feel,” he said. “We want our kids to grow up in a smaller,

Glen Beliveau, one of the organizers of the Clark’s Crossing Gazette SilverBell Charity Golf Classic, presents a cheque for $9,000 to Warman KidSport coordinator Coralie Bueckert

Golf tournament aims to help kids in Warman play organized sports

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Clark’s Crossing Gazette SilverBell Charity Golf Classic has donated $9,000 toward Warman KidSport.

Coralie Bueckert, coordinator of the KidSport initiative for the City of Warman, said the donation will cover the lion’s share of the costs of programming for the year, and will help dozens of kids play organized sports.

Glen Beliveau, one of the organizers of the charity golf tournament, said this donation marks the third donation for the group.

Beliveau and Steve Silvernagle (the SilverBell name comes from the combination of their surnames), with help from Clark’s Crossing Gazette publisher Terry Jenson, organized the first SilverBell tournament

four years ago.

“The first year we raised $2,000 and we donated that to the Legends Centre, which was in the process of being built at that time,” said Beliveau in an interview on Friday, October 3.

“The next year we decided to donate to a charity where the funds would stay in Warman, and we decided on KidSport.

We raised $7,000 for them two years ago. This year, we raised an amazing $9,000. We had fewer participants, but more contributions from sponsors.”

Last year the tournament was not held, for a variety of reasons.

The tournament normally takes place during the last weekend of September. That allows the tournament to use the course for the entire day. This year the tournament attracted 72 players.

Bueckert said Warman Kid-

Sport is a local charity that funds individuals and groups to enable them to participate in a variety of sports, including hockey, basketball, karate, gymnastics and cheerleading.

The Warman organization is also part of a larger regional KidSport network that includes Martensville, Osler, Dalmeny and Langham.

Bueckert said last year, a total of $10,300 was allocated to individuals and groups who submitted applications. “This yar we have funded $8,000, so this money donated by Glen today is pretty much spoken for,” she said.

Warman KidSport has a number of fundraisers throughout the year. During the upcoming Warman Open For Business Expo (WOBE) at the Legends Centre October 17 and 18, the admission proceeds will go toward KidSport.

Langham first responders get new wheels

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Langham Fire and Rescue department put a new First Responder vehicle into service on Tuesday, October 7.

“It’s a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban,” said Jory Wynd, Deputy Fire Chief with the Langham Fire Department. “It was desperately needed. Our old unit was a 1992 Suburban, and it was on its last legs. This will really make a difference when we are called out to respond to medical calls or motor vehicle collisions.”

The Langham Fire Department unveiled their new specialized vehicle during an open house at the fire hall on Satur-

day, October 11 as part of Fire Prevention Week.

Wynd said the department members identified the need for a new first responder vehicle several years ago, and earmarked their fundraising efforts toward that objective.

“We’re always fundraising,” said Wynd. “We have to keep upgrading our equipment, and every so often we decide what our next project will be and then work toward that.”

The department received a big financial boost from two major contributors. The Martensville and District Kinsmen Club donated $10,000, while Affinity Credit Union put up $6,000.

“The department raised funds through donations from businesses and individuals in town to make up the rest,” said Wynd. “Altogether, the vehicle cost about $20,000.” TransCare safety in Langham contributed significantly in helping to outfit the first responder vehicle, and department members did a lot of the work themselves. The vehicle was purchased in Vernon, BC.

PERFECT RECORD

Warman Wolverines clinch top spot

By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

Thursday, October 9 was a day of firsts for the Warman Wolverines football team.

By defeating the visiting Delisle Rebels 50-21 it marked the first time Warman has ever defeated Delisle. The victory also meant the Wolverines are assured of a first place finish in regular season play. Another first.

Delisle started strong when quarterback James Shirley hit Jordan Davidson with an 18yard touchdown pass.

But Warman responded with two touchdowns: a 24-yard run

by Jayson Lindo late in the opening quarter and a 20-yard run by Damien Delnea early in the second.

Then the Wolverines’ special teams took over. On the kickoff, the Rebels were forced to start at their one yard line.

When their next next two plays resulted in a gain of seven yards Delisle was forced to give up a safety, making the score 15-6. Warman then made the score 18-6 as Justin Chas-

kavich, fresh off the junior roster, kicked his first field goal.

Warman increased their lead to 32-6 on 32-yard and 60-yard TD runs by quarterback Josh Misskey.

The third quarter continued the special teams dominance as punter Tyler Hume hemmed Delisle at the 5, 2 and 8 yard lines on successive punts, with the last resulting in Delisle giving up another safety. On the resulting kickoff Warman kick returner Jayson Lindo used his speed to return the ball for a TD. Delisle responded with two TDs by running back Sam Michnik before Warman’s Damien Delnea ran for his second TD. Chaskavich made the final score 50-21 as he kicked his second field goal.

The Warman team was delighted in the result. Coach Tyler Scheidt summed up the Wolverine’s effort: “Good performance all round. Our offence was good, defense was real good and our special teams were phenomenal.”

Delisle coach Ken Byers summed up the game: “Two words,” he said. “Special teams.

That was the difference.”

Byers felt the game was still manageable in the first half until a series of errors led to poor field position that eventually led to Warman scores. “A great job by their kicker,” said Byers.

“We need to do a better job, obviously.”

Despite being a young team with only one Grade 12 starter and missing key players due to injury, the Rebels are still a very competitive team.

Their next game is against Kindersley on Friday, October 17 at 4:00 p.m. in Delisle.

In the battle of the unbeaten,

Warman had come out on top.

The historical significance was not lost on Coach Scheidt. He stated: “Undefeated. Kids deserve credit. We have never finished first and now that is going to happen.”

While happy with the season the focus is on getting ready for

Martensville Royals secure first playoff berth

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Martensville Royals earned their first-ever provincial playoff berth on Thursday, October 9, beating the visiting Meadow Lake Spartans 24-7 at Geransky Field.

“That was our goal at the beginning of the season,” said Royals coach Lyle Evanisky.

“We wanted to make the playoffs and get a shot at the provincial title. Coming into this game, we wanted to decide our own fate, and we did it.

“Now we can focus on moving on further one game at a time. We’ve never had a chance to play football in late October and into November before. It will be cold, but it’s exciting for the players and the fans, and it’s good for the program.”

Heading into the game, both Martensville and Meadow Lake held identical 2-2 records. The

winner was guaranteed third place in the 9-man Conference 4 standings, and with the victory, the Royals punched their ticket to a road playoff game against an opponent from Conference 3.

Evanisky said Martensville will likely face Melville in the first round of playoffs, slated for Saturday, October 25.

In the game Thursday against Meadow Lake, both teams dug in their heels early and prevented their opponents from putting any points on the board. The closest the Royals came was in the final minute of the opening quarter when veteran kicker Brayden Heck was wide on a 40-yard field goal attempt.

But the second quarter was a different story. Heck caught a bullet pass from Royals’ quarterback Brodey Kliewer and rambled 52 yards into the Spartans’ end zone. He converted

his own major to put the home team ahead 7-0. Heck was successful on a 20 yard field goal attempt with about a minute left in the second quarter to give the boys in blue a 10-0 cushion heading into half time.

Meadow Lake narrowed the gap when Aaron Varjassy scored on a 12-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter.

In the final quarter, Heck scored his second major of the game on a 60-yard play. A successful convert made it 17-7.

Meadow Lake looked to stage a comeback with about two minutes left in the game, but rookie defensive end Brennan Blevins intercepted a key pass. On the ensuing drive, Kliewer connected with Morgan Avery on a 48-yard pass and run play for the Royals’ final touchdown.

Heck added a convert to salt the game away.

the provincial playoffs. “First place is a great accomplishment but it is just a step along the way,” said Scheidt.

Warman’s final game of the regular season will be against their arch-rivals, the Martensville Royals on Friday, October 17 at 4:00 p.m. in Warman.

for his defense, especially since they were missing two key starting defensive ends who were out with injuries. Blevins, Kyle Ayotte, Reider Fee and Richard Moulding all made outstanding plays, he said.

“We gave up one touchdown but defensively, you can’t really complain about that, if you only allow seven points in a game,” said Evanisky. “Offensively, we got a lot of first downs this game. We didn’t put up a lot of points early in the game, but we were winning the battle for field position, and that really helped us on defense. Offensviely, they did a good job later in the game of putting points on the board when we needed to.”

Evanisky said the team is pumped.

“We made history today for our school,” he said. “It’s nice to reach that goal of making the provincial playoffs.”

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19

Capricorn, listen to your sixth sense as it guides you in a particular direction. Your instincts rarely steer you wrong.

Resist the urge to follow what everyone else is doing.

AQUARIUS January 20– February 18

The first step toward change at work is to take the initiative, Aquarius. Once you make the decision to forge ahead, everything will fall nicely into place.

PISCES February 19– March 20

Pisces, don’t worry if you have to give up something you desire when negotiating with others. The chips will fall into place.

ARIES March 21– April 19

Aries, you begin the week with enthusiasm, but excitement begins to wane quite quickly. Find a way to rally your energy levels so you can complete tasks.

TAURUS April 20– May 20

Rein in your emotions as much as possible this week, Taurus. You will feel passionate about a project this week, but you must stay calm as you tackle the tasks at hand.

GEMINI May 21– June 21

Gemini, commitments at work may keep you from your plans, even if you have had a special event on the calendar for some time. This obligation is unavoidable.

Leo, you are quite adept at maintaining a stoic outer appearance, but inside your emotions are churning. Find a healthy release and you will be glad you did.

VIRGO August 23– September 22

Virgo, test the waters before you share a secret. This way you can get an idea of how a small group of people will react before you spread the word.

LIBRA September 23– October 22

Libra, use your natural gift for diplomacy to resolve a conflict at work. It is easy to find common ground and steer the conversation toward a reasonable resolution.

SCORPIO

Now might be a great time to schedule some well-deserved rest and relaxtion with loved ones.

by Matthew Ikert who scored a pair, with winger Trent Keewatin having the lone goal in the contest.

The Vipers went 2 for 8 on the power play during the game.

The Hague Royals and Dalmeny Fury are gearing up for another season in the Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL), but two other area communities won’t be icing teams this winter.

The Warman Wildcats and Rosthern Wheat Kings both opted to take a leave of absence from the FCHL this season, leaving the senior hockey league with six teams: Hague, Dalmeny, Shellbrook Elks, Burno T-Birds, Prairie (WaldheimLaird) Outlaws, and Tisdale Ramblers.

It’s getting more difficult every year to balance the desire to have a team with the expense of running the operation, said Hague Royals manager Roger Kinzel in an interview late last week.

But a bigger issue is the growing gap between a competitive team, and one with a majority of local players.

“It’s becoming more and more of an elite league, with players that have WHL or Junior A or Euoprean league experience,” said Kinzel. “If it keeps on that way, I’m not sure what the future holds. The caliber of hockey is great. But that’s only part of the equation when it comes to attracting the crowds. You need to have local kids on the team in order to bring people out to the rink on a consistent basis.”

Kinzel said teams like Hague and Dalmeny, which shy away from paying players, are at a disadvantage. They survive on community support, he said. When community volunteers are in short supply, as in Rosthern and Warman, the team can’t operate.

Doug Harms, former captain of the Warman Wildcats and one of the key volunteers in the organization, said the team had to take a year off, and will evaluate its future over the next few months.

“The main reason for taking a year’s leave of absence from the league is that we lost more of our team executive members and more of our top players again this year, so it’s hard for us to compete and get the high-calibre players we need to be competitive,” said Harms. “The league adopted the ‘elite players rule’ into the league constitution and then kept opening up areas to keep filling up rosters with elite players.”

The Rosthern Wheat Kings indicated earlier this fall they were dropping out of the league because of lack of community volunteer support.

Kinzel noted that a change in the league constitution removes the restriction for teams to draw only from players who have gone through that community’s local minor hockey program.

But that hasn’t solved the problem, he added.

“Right now in Hague we’re still in pretty good shape. We have about 50 per cent local players on our team. And we have 34 kids in our minor hockey association playing midget hockey,” said Kinzel. “We’d like to get them to go on to play senior with us, but it’s a big transition to step up to such a high-calibre hockey league.”

Another difficulty the league faces this year is a change in assigning referees. The refs are now drawn from the same pool as minor hockey.

The FCHL teams will play a 20-game regular season schedule, which is set to open November 1. The full schedule, when finalized, will be posted on the FCHL website at fchl.ca .

It was also the first game for Asquith’s Carter Woodside, who got the call in goal, stopping 18 of 19 shots.

On Saturday, the Vipers experienced a tighter game against the Melville Millionaires, edging them 3-2.

In the first period both teams drew even with a 1-1 tie on goals from the Vipers’ Nolan Doell and Millionaires’ Luke Nkwama, who scored one on the power play.

Nkwama scored again in the second period and looked to help his team pull away with a one goal lead, but the Vipers fought back with two goals by Ethan Neufeld and Trent Keewatin in the third period to close out the scoring to 3-2.

In the last game of the three-game road stand against the Yorkton UCT Terriers on Sunday, it was an offensive show in the opening period as both teams skated to a 3-3 draw.

Dodge Long, Quinn MacDonald and Boman Moes scored for the Vipers.

The Terriers pulled away on a one goal lead in the second period by Michael Coleridge, but the Vipers scored the tying goal early in the third period on a goal by Nolan Doell. A go-ahead marker by Matthew Ikert gave the Vipers a 5-4 lead with less than 13 minutes to go in the final stanza.

The Terriers ruined the Vipers chance of a perfect road record minutes later when Reid Perepeluk scored the game winning goal followed by an unassisted marker by Reid Arnold, ending the game and securing them with 7-5 win.

The Vipers hope to do better in Melfort when they take on the Northeast Wolfpack on Saturday, October 18 before their next home game against the Estevan TS&M Bruins on Sunday October 19 at Warman’s Legends Centre. Game time is 5:45 p.m.

The Delisle Chiefs are still trying to find some consistency, dropping a 7-1 decision to the Saskatoon Quakers on Wednesday, October 8, and doubling up on the West Central Rage 6-3 on Saturday, October 11.

The Chiefs opened the scoring against the Quakers when Kyle Downing found the twine on a setup by teammate Jase Smalcel. But the lead was short lived when the Quakers’ Rhett Kehoe tied the game at the 6:26 mark of the first.

The Quakers dominated the rest of the game, scoring four goals in the second period, two in the third period and out shooting the Chiefs 39 to 19.

The Chiefs looked to be in the same predicament in their opening period against the West Central Rage on Saturday when the team went ahead 2-0 early in the opening period on goals by Matt Mitchell and Cory Clark.

Jase Smalcel closed the gap to one when he scored at 15:26 on a setup by Rhys Kipling, which helped set the tone for the second period, when Mark Ganter and Josh Murray scored to help the Chiefs edge the Rage 3-2.

In the third stanza the Chiefs added to their lead when Ganter scored his second of the night followed by another by Dylan McGonigal, giving the team a 5-2 cushion.

Minutes later the Rage’s Brandon Kromm tried desparately to give his team some life, but a power play goal by the Chiefs’ Kynan Tarnowski helped secure his team’s 6-3 win.

The Chiefs will take on the Traveland RV Storm at Delisle Arena this Friday, October 17.

toppers on top once again

After a shaky start to the season, the Saskatoon Hilltops won their last 5 games. A big part of their success was the running of Wayndel Lewis of Warman, who led the league in rushing with 1073 yards rushing and prior to the final week of play had been named the PFC Offensive Player of the Week three times. Pictured is #52 Ben Hodson (Saskatoon), #58 Nathan Heide( Warman) and #59 Terry Thesen (Martensville) blocking for Lewis on one of his 23 carries as he rushed for 140 yards and scored the game winning TD to help the Saskatoon Hilltops clinch first place in the PFC Conference with a 28-23 win over the Edmonton Wildcats ion Sunday, October 12. The Hilltops will host a semi-final playoff game against the Winnipeg Rifles Sunday, October 19.

Saskatoon region housing starts increase in August Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 3,833 units in September compared to 3,517 in August, 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.

“The trend in total housing starts moved higher in September, supported by an elevated pace of multi-family construction in recent months. Declining inventory of complete and unabsorbed units in the multifamily sector has supported a faster pace of starts this year, particularly among condominium apartments,” said Goodson Mwale, CMHC’s Senior Market Analyst for Saskatchewan.

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 3,050 units in September, down from 4,904 in August. Actual housing starts declined 53 per cent year-overyear in September as production of both single-detached and multi-family units was lower than a year earlier.

Province leads nation in job creation and employment growth Saskatchewan is leading the nation in job creation with the fastest rate of employment growth and the lowest unemployment rate in Canada.

“Having a growing and robust economy has had a huge impact on the job front,” Minister responsible for Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Jeremy Harrison said. “It is no surprise that Saskatchewan’s job growth rate is the best in the nation now, providing more employment opportunities to support and sustain strong economic momentum.”

Employment was up 3.5 per cent over last September (19,300 jobs), the highest growth rate in the nation.

Nationally, jobs were up 0.9 per cent. There were 574,800 people employed in Saskatchewan in September.

Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate in September 2014 was 3.5 per cent on a seasonally adjusted basis, the lowest among the provinces.

This is well below the 6.8 per cent recorded nationally.

“Unemployment figures have

been consistently the lowest in Canada now for 22 months,” Harrison said. “Saskatchewan is the place to be if you are looking for work – full time jobs are on the rise – and jobs are available in every corner of the province.”

Month-over-month, there were 7,000 more jobs in September than August (seasonally adjusted), up 1.2 per cent, the second highest growth rate among the provinces.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

Regina’s unemployment rate was 2.8 per cent seasonally adjusted – the lowest among major Canadian cities.

Saskatoon’s unemployment rate was 4.2 per cent, the second lowest.

Youth unemployment was 6.5 per cent seasonally adjusted, lowest in the country and well below the 13.5 per cent posted nationally.

Full-time employment was up by 14,800 jobs (3.2 per cent) year-over-year. Part-time was up 4,600, 5.1 per cent.

There was strong growth in

the goods-producing sector with jobs up by 11,700 from last Sep-

tember with solid job gains in construction (+4,800), agricul-

ture (+3,800) and forestry, mining, oil and gas (+3,700).

Quality comes first at Warman Homes In today’s booming housing market, one company that continues to lead the way is Warman Homes.

Founded in 1984, the company has been a big player in the growth of Warman, Martensville and surrounding communities by supplying many of the attractive site-built homes that line the streets. But the company is also a major supplier of ready-to-move homes that are built in Warman and transported all over the prairie provinces.

General Manager Keith Heinrichs and his 32 staff provide a level of service which is unmatched in today’s construction market.

“Seeing our staff be successful at what they do is very rewarding,” he says. “Your staff is your team and if your

team does well, your customers will benefit from that.”

The company has also been recognized by the Saskatoon Region Home Builders Association (SRHBA) as the 2009 and 2010 winner of the Customer Choice Award for Single Family large builder. The award is given annually to the builder of 25 or more homes that are judged to have the highest customer satisfaction rating based on a number of categories.

Emergency responders in several communities opened their fire hall doors to the public last week in an effort to promote fire safety and recruit potential volunteers.

Warman, Dalmeny and Martensville Fire Departments held open houses on Wednesday, October 8, while Langham held a similar event on Saturday, October 11. Osler Fire Department members visited Osler Elementary School on Thursday, October 9 to educate students about fire safety.

It was all part of Fire Prevention Week, which this year featured the theme “Working smoke detectors save lives: test yours ever month.”

Martensville Fire Chief Kurtis Dyck was happy with the turnout, as a crowd of people lined up for free burgers and hot dogs in the fire hall.

“Our objective is to let people know who we are and what we do,” said Dyck in an interview. “This is a way of introducing ourselves to people in a relaxed atmosphere. We’re always looking for people to join the fire department, and right now we’re hiring.

We’re also trying to educate people about making sure they have working smoke detectors. It’s important they test them and not let the batteries wear out.”

Martensville Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) Coordiantor Tracy Wilson-Gerwing was busy distributing information on Martensville’s “Notify Me” alert system and explaining the need for residents to have a well-stocked emergency kit on hand at all times.

“There is always the possibility of a power outage, especially in the winter,” said Wilson-Gerwing. “Also, if there’s a big snowstorm and the streets are clogged, people need to have a plan, and they need to be able to take care of their own needs for at least 72 hours. Sometimes it takes that long before emergency responders can get to you. It’s a matter of being prepared.”

She said a first aid kit, water, food, blankets, flashlight and warm clothing are some of the provisions that should be on hand in an emergency.

“Martensville has grown a lot,” she said. “We’re a city now, and we will see a lot of the issues we see in Saskatoon.”

Joanne Elder with the Dalmeny Fire Depatment said the need for recruits is ongoing, and so is the need to educate people about fire safety.

But the fire department is also expanding its role and responsibilities as the communities in the region grow and new neighbourhoods are built, she added.

“This year our focus is on ice rescue,” said Elder. “We have a dunk tank where a firefighter in a survival suit plunges into the cold water. It’s a fun way for people to see what’s involved, but cold-water rescues are something we need to train for.”

Elder said firefighters took training last winter in the suits, and actually got immersed in water when the air

“The suits are amazing,” she said.

“We stayed warm the whole time.”

With new lakes and ponds used as stormwater reservoirs in new neighbourhoods, the likelihood of someone falling through the ice is increased, said Elder. “We need to be prepared for that.”

Christine Janzen with the Osler Fire Department said the firefighters took the opportunity to introduce younger students to the fire truck and first responders’ medical vehicle at the school, while the older students got a firsthand look at what it was like to navigate a smoke-filled room. A water-vapour smoke machine was used to fill a classroom with mist, and the kids had to negotiate a maze while staying low to the floor where there was more visibility.

“It’s a way of getting kids familiar with emergency responders in a nonthreatening way, so they don’t panic if a real situation happens,” said Janzen.

“This takes away a lot of the fear.”
