Municipalities seek commitment from province on revenue sharing deal

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Municipalities across the province will have to re-work their preliminary budgets if the provincial government changes the municipal revenue sharing (MRS) agreement.

Ben Buhler, Mayor of Osler and Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) Northwest Region Director, said if the amount of funding from the province declines dramatically, it will negatively impact cities, towns, villages and rural municipalities.

In an interview on Thursday, February 5, Buhler said downloading by the province simply shifts costs onto local governments.

Municipal governments are currently in the midst of preparing their final budgets for the upcoming year, said Buhler, adding they were counting on receiving funds equivalent to one point (20 per cent) of the provincial sales tax (PST) revenues collected by the province during the 2013-14 fiscal year. That amount is estimated by SUMA to be $169 million, and is divided up among all urban and rural municipalities according to an agreed-upon formula.

“Communities have already prepared their preliminary budgets,” said Buhler. “And for most of them, the budget included funds coming from the revenue-sharing agreement. In the case of large cities like Saskatoon, that amounts to about $3.5 million.

“For Osler, our share would be about $24,000. For a small community, that’s a lot of money. If those funds are declined, then we will have to go back and either trim $24,000 from our preliminary budget, or look at a mill rate increase to make up that amount, because municipal governments cannot run a deficit.”

Buhler said Osler will be adopting its final budget and setting its property tax mill rate in early March.

“If the province decides there will be cuts, then we will either have to increase taxation or cut a program,” said Buhler. “And I personally don’t know where we will be able to cut anything. It’s already pared down as far as it can go.”

STABLE REVENUE SOURCE

SUMA officials applauded the province’s municipal revenue sharing deal when it was introduced in 2009, saying it provided a predictable, sustainable and long-term solution for helping mu-

nicipalities pay for infrastructure expansion and upgrades.

Premier Brad Wall reaffirmed his government’s commitment to the MRS at the SUMA convention in 2012, telling delegates at that time: “Whatever the fiscal state we face in this province, we have an agreement with SUMA and SARM, with our municipal partners. We have made a commitment with respect to revenue sharing and we will keep that commitment.

We will sustain that commitment as long as we have the honour of forming the Government of Saskatchewan.”

But last month, Premier Brad Wall suggested changes could be in store for the MRS because of the dramatic decline in provincial revenues from oil.

At the SUMA convention in Saskatoon on Monday, February 2, Wall said no decision has yet been made on the MRS, but he did not rule out a reduction in the amount available to municipalities, or even whether the MRS agreement will continue in its present form.

DECLINE IN REVENUES

During a “bear pit” session at the SUMA convention on Wednesday, February 4, Wall said provincial revenues are likely to fall between $600 and $800 million this year, and the Cabinet is exploring all its options. Wall added he is hopeful the dip in revenues is a short-term temporary problem, and suggested municipalities must also absorb the revenue shortfall.

Buhler said SUMA delegates understand the financial crunch facing the province, but noted the MRS takes that into account. He said the decline in provincial sales tax revenue automatically triggers less money to municipalities. He also pointed out the MRS funds for this year were collected by the province two years ago, and were already allocated to municipalities.

Buhler said municipalities are willing to negotiate the funding levels for future years, but said the this year’s funding levels, as well as the basic principle of the MRS, should be maintained.

“We want to keep the agreement but we can talk about the amount,” said Buhler. “The idea of municipal revenue sharing based on a percentage of the PST has to stay in place. If we need to renegotiate the percentage level, perhaps on an annual basis, that’s one thing that we could live with. But don’t just back off completely on the

Premier Brad Wall speaks to delegates at the SUMA convention promise. Municipalities have to have a stable source of funding.”

HARD LOOK AT BUDGET

Langham Mayor Bev Panas said in an interview shortly after the SUMA convention adjourned on February 4 that municipal governments are unsure how to respond to the uncertainty with the MRS. “It does leave people up in the air,” said Panas. “We are still working out our budget for Langham, and right now we’re not sure how much money is going to be coming in from the province.”

Panas said the Langham council

and administration will likely take a hard look at operating expenses and revenue and base their budget on those numbers.

“It will be a tight budget, and with any tight budget every little bit of money helps, so yes, the MRS funds will make a difference.”

She said she’s hopeful the downturn in revenues is temporary.

“I don’t think this is the start of a trend,” she said. “I certainly hope not.

We have always had our dips and good times before, and that’s to be expected.

This year we’ll have to be a little more cautious on everything, but the good years will come again.”

It may be a small organism, but it represents a very big potential problem.

“Zebra mussels could end up costing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to municipal water intake and distribution systems in Saskatchewan,” warns Ben Buhler, Mayor of Osler and a representative of the South Saskatchewan River Watershed Stewards (SSRWS). “They clog water intake systems and contaminate the water, and they will cost us a pile of money if they get established in the South Saskatchewan River system. A lot of people rely on that river for their water supplies.”

Buhler, Chair of the SSRWS North Sub-Watershed Area, said zebra mussels have already been detected in Lake Winnipeg, and the concern is that this species may spread west across the prairie region. Another invasive species known as quagga mussels, is present in the Great Lakes.

In an interview on Thursday, February 5, Buhler said the SSRWS is launching a campaign to make residents aware of the problem because the primary way that these invasive species spread is by attaching themselves to watercraft. Recreational boaters, he said, need to be aware that they must clean their boats thoroughly to ensure they don’t inadvertently carry the mussels to other areas.

Zebra mussels and quagga mussels came to the United States and Canada from eastern Europe, travelling in the ballast water of seagoing ships. The ballast water was discharged by these ships into coastal harbours and the Great Lakes. The mussels attach themselves to any submerged object, such as the hulls of boats, and are transported through the water and over land when that object is moved. Native mussel species are not able to attach to submerged objects in the same way.

In a news release issued on Friday, February 6, the Prairie Waters Working Group (PWWG) said Alberta estimates the annual cost to municipal, agricultural and industrial infrastructure could be as much as $75 million if zebra and quagga mussels invade the province’s lakes, rivers and irrigation canals. In 2014, the Alberta government invested over $500,000 in an onCONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Highway 11 overpass needed, says minister

By TERRY PUGH

Highways Minister Nancy Heppner speaks with SUMA delegates following a question and answer session on the final day of the SUMA convention

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Despite record investment in the province’s highway system over the past eight years, much more needs to be done to bring it in line with the booming economy, says Nancy Heppner, Minister of Highways and Infrastructure.

During a question and answer session with delegates at the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) convention in Saskatoon on Wednesday, February 4, Heppner said there are many high priority projects that are still on the drawing board.

Included in those projects is an overpass on Highway 11 at Warman, said Heppner.

“We inherited a billion dollar deficit in highways when we formed government in 2007,” said Heppner. “And we’ve invested a record amount to expand, repair and maintain roads. But there is always more to be done. Part of that is because our economy is doing so well. We have more people, more traffic, more and bigger trucks on the road all the time.

We are moving in the right direction, but there is always more to do.”

Heppner said in her constituency of Martensville north of Saskatoon, highway interchanges are desperately needed.

“There are 18,000 vehicles travelling on Highway 11 between Saskatoon and Warman every day,” she said. “People are entering and exiting the highway at many access points, and it’s deadly. I’m trying to get interchanges built there.”

Heppner said she is also working on bypasses around Estevan, which has seen a massive increase in truck traffic, as well as around Regina and other centres.

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

“These are billion dollar projects,” she said. “And there are challenges. It’s not just about keeping up with the repairs and maintenance of existing roads. It’s about building the needed infrastructure for future generations.”

During the session, concerns were raised by many delegates about the state of roads in their communities. Val Deschambeault, Mayor of Cumberland House, said Highway 123 into her remote northeastern village is in such rough shape that

residents rely on a “highway ferry” to transport their vehicles through particularly muddy stretches of road.

“We have a dozer and a flatbed,” said Dechambeault. “We drive our cars onto the flatbed and then the dozer pushes it along until we can unload the vehicle onto dry ground.”

Heppner agreed that work needs to be done on that highway. “It’s not funny,” she said.

“But I have to say I really admire your ingenuity.”

Continued from page 3

Spread of mussels going effort to stop the spread of these invasive species. The PWWG said Manitoba invested a similar amount last year in a failed attempt to treat portions of Lake Winnipeg.

Buhler said potash was used to treat portions of Lake Winnipeg where the zebra mussels were detected, but that had to be discontinued because it also negatively impacted fish populations.

“The only effective treatment is prevention,” said Buhler.

“These species have to be kept out of our watersheds.”

While the provincial Fisheries Regulations prohibit resi-

dents and visitors from importing, possessing, transporting or selling aquatic invasive species, these mussels are almost invisible and not easily detected, said Buhler. “They’re very small and hard to see, so sometimes the only way to detect them is to feel the hull of the boat, and if it feels like sandpaper, you’ve probably got them attached to your boat. They have to be steam cleaned off.”

Ice and cold temperatures will kill many of the mussel larvae, but they are relatively hardy and can survive under the ice in cold water, said Buhler.

Communities look to upgrade water and sewer facilities by tapping into federal funding program

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

With Small Communities Funding (SCF) applications sent out later than expected, sewer and lagoon improvements lead the list of funding requests. The SCF is part of the New Building Canada Fund which set aside $1 billion for projects located in communities of fewer than 100,000 during last year’s federal budget.

Municipalities that apply will share the cost of infrastructure improvements three ways, between the province, federal government and municipality.

Here is a short list of infrastructure requests from municipalities in the Saskatoon region.

Langham

The Town of Langham is looking to move their lagoon one mile north. The town’s current lagoon is at capacity and improvements need to be made in order for the town to expand development. The estimated cost of their request is $5.8 million.

Rosthern

The Town of Rosthern is requesting $2.3 million to upgrade their sewer force main

Appeal for help goes out for Martensville woman in ICU A fundraising appeal has been launched on Facebook for a young mother from Martensville who is currently in serious condition in hospital as a reuslt of complications arising from the recent birth of her new baby.

Jordan Marley Monette was rushed to hospital in Ssakatoon on Saturday, February 7, one day after she and her baby son, Jasper, were released from Royal University Hospital. According to a facebook post by Corey Dusome, whose son Joshua is Jordan’s partner. Jordan and Jasper had spent two weeks in hospital recovering from complications after the birth. Now back in hospital, Jordan is apparently on life support in the ICU unit. While the baby is in good health, the mother is in very serious conditon.

A fundraising appeal has been launched by the family to help support the young woman in her fight to regain her health.

Dundurn

The Town of Dundurnis interested in seeking funds to make improvements to its 2nd Street old business district, which includes resurfacing roads, installing sidewalks, sewer upgrades and improvements to solve drainage issues for local businesses. The cost of the upgrade is estimated to be $383,585.

Dalmeny

The Town of Dalmeny is requesting a water pump house for a cost of $2.5 million, and reservoir which is estimated to cost $1.5 million. Included with these costs will be three disaster mitigation storm ponds. The town already has one storm pond but it is requesting three

more in the southern part of town. The town is also requesting a connecting line between pond 2 and 3.

Warman

The City of Warman is looking for $5.1 million in funding to expand its water reservoir, which is a requirement for future development.

Martensville

The City of Martensville has applied for funding to upgrading both its sewage treatment quality and capacity as well as increasing water supply capacity through a combination of plant upgrades and additional water supply pipelines.

Conceptual engineering projects a cost of $20.2 million for the upgrades, which would see clear environmental ben-

efits with the quality of Martensville’s sewage effluent into the South Saskatchewan River matching that of Saskatoon’s.

It would also strengthen the economic development outlook by providing the capacity for growth over the next 20 years.

Vanscoy

The Village of Vanscoy is going to wait until intake 2 of the SCF model. Funding under the Small Communities Fund will be split up into various phases over the expected 10 year life of the program.

The Southwest Regional Water Utility based in Vanscoy will be requesting funds in the first phase to improve treated water lines to homes in the village and surrounding community. The SWRWU is not directly affiliated with the village.

Finding savings should be easy for Wall

By COLIN CRAIG

Prairie Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

COMMENTARY

With oil prices down substantially, Premier Brad Wall appears to be hunting for ways to save money.

While his government has done a good job scrounging around for savings in the past, there are still plenty of things the premier could do to cut spending without impacting everyday Saskatchewan residents.

First, the government should cut all spending on special grants and loans for businesses; also known as “corporate welfare.” Plain and simple, the public is smart enough to decide for themselves if they want to support a business by buying its products or investing in its operations.

The government made some inroads with cutting corporate welfare a couple years ago when it eliminated the province’s film tax credit. The program was essentially a big grant program that took money from everyday Saskatchewanians and gave it to film companies so it was a wise decision for the government to end the handouts.

What the Wall team should do now is cut similar programs, such as the Labour Sponsored Venture Capital Program. Through the program, the government gives tax dollars to those who have invested in approved venture capital funds.

But, if you happened to invest in a Sask business that wasn’t supported by the program, you would receive nothing. Clearly that’s not fair. The government shouldn’t give some people money for their investment decisions but not others.

Just as the federal government has decided to phase out its tax credit out for labour sponsored venture capital funds by 2017, the Wall government should do the same. Doing so would save over $16 million annually.

Next up is the golden tax credit that people receive for making donations to political parties. Few people realize it, but if you make a $200 donation to a political party in Saskatchewan, you’ll receive $150 back from the government.

Yet, if you donate $200 to a charity you would only receive $22 back from the government. This sweetheart deal – for political parties – costs taxpayers $1.3 million per year.

It may not be a lot of money compared with the provincial government’s overall budget (over $14 billion), but it would be a symbolic gesture by the Sask Party that it is willing to feel the pinch too. At the very least, the government should cut the credit down to the same rate charities receive.

If the previous two examples seem like small potatoes, consider what reforming government employee pensions could do for the province. In 2006, the Wall government spent $76 million on the pension plan that covers most healthcare employees in the province (Saskatchewan Healthcare Employees Pension Plan).

Due to the pension plan’s financial woes, the government hiked annual spending to $147 million annually as of 2013.

That’s almost a 100 per cent increase in just seven years. Had the government kept this spending in-check for inflation, it could easily be saving $50 million per year or so.

And remember, that’s only one government pension plan.

If you like any of the aforementioned money-saving ideas, be sure to let the Premier know. After all, special interest groups will be actively encouraging him to scope out the alternative; tax increases.

Towns, cities need predictable revenue

In the February 5 edition of the Gazette, a photo cutline on the Warman Lutheran Early Learning Centre incorrectly identified Shelley Neufeld as St John’s Lutheran Church Board of Directors Chair. She is actually the Lutheran Early Learning Centres LELC Board of Directors Chair. She is a member of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Saskatoon, where one of the other other early learning centers is located. Gord Martens is the chair of St John’s.

Obviously, no one likes to pay more taxes.

And no one likely understands this better than Premier Brad Wall, whose electoral success can be somewhat attributed to issues like removing much of the education property tax on agricultural land.

Certainly, a recent poll by a Toronto-based company suggests 73 per cent of Saskatchewan people would prefer spending cuts to tax hikes to balance next month’s provincial budget.

So notwithstanding the reality that tax hikes might be an easier and perhaps even a better solution for Wall’s government to make up the $600- to $800-million budget revenue shortfall from falling oil prices, it would seem that cutting government spending is Wall’s only real political option.

Given that provincial government spending has increased 71 per cent in the seven years that Wall has been in office, one might even go as far as to suggest that he is somewhat obligated to look at the spending side of the ledger first.

But Wall should have come clean at the recent Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association and confirmed his government’s election promise that municipalities receive ANGELA HEIDEL

Provincial Politics

one percentage point of fiveper-cent provincial sales tax; 20 per cent of all PST revenue that has afforded towns, cities, villages, hamlets and RMs some stability in their budget planning.

Of course, there are many reasons why Wall might have felt it necessary to keep the municipalities guessing; the least becoming of which would be the ones related to politics.

By suggesting at SUMA recently that even cities and towns can’t necessarily expect what they got last year sends a strong message that the budget concerns are to be taken seriously. And if and when the province does come through with full funding to the municipalities, it certainly adds a little high political drama, doesn’t it?

Finally, that $600 to $800-million revenue drop is hardly a drop in the bucket. It could be that the Sask. Party is still struggling with its final decisions for the 2015-16 budget.

Really, though, the government shouldn’t be struggling with such a decision by this point. Unfortunately, it’s hamstrung itself by deciding it wants to proceed with big, costly infrastructure projects, tax cuts to business and no tax increases. Contrary to what Wall told SUMA, not everything is on the table.

But why his commitment to municipalities is perhaps the one thing that should be maintained has much to do with that notion that people don’t want tax increases.

Under previous NDP governments when municipalities; that are legally required to run surpluses; did not know what they were getting from the province until provincial budget day. Because of this, tax increases were often unavoidable.

But by tying revenue to the previous year’s PST collection, everyone has had the luxury of predictable funding from government.

Consider what various communities received in municipal revenue sharing in 2013-14, according to public accounts: Assinboia, $541,659; Balgonie, $364,682; Big River, $144,633; Broadview, $130,127; Canora, $497,248; Carlyle, $323,618; Davidson, $230,778;

Esterhazy, $553,711; Estevan, $2,350,915; Eston, $232,117; Fort Qu’Appelle, $455,960; Foam Lake, $258,228; Gravelbourg, $251,087; Hudson Bay, $337,678; Herbert, $171,414; Humboldt, $1,207,572; Indian Head, $407,085; Kamsack, $409,317; Kelvington, $199,454; Kindersley, $1,046,032; Langenburg, $258,228; Lloydminster, $2,078,365; Maple Creek, $487,651; Meadow Lake, $1,072,948; Melfort,$1,185,879; Melville, $966,823; Moosomin, $556,612; Nipawin, $953,861; North Battleford,$2,952,638; Preeceville, $240,821; Radville, $193,954; Rocanville, $193,285; Spiritwood, $206,452; Wadena, $221,851; Watson, $175,421; Weyburn, $2,229,690; Whitewood, $214,040, Wolseley, $194,847, Wynyard, $396,373, and; Yorkton, $3,332,413.

In all cases, we are talking about both a sizeable portion of the community’s annual revenue and also a stable source of funding.

For the province to simply reduce what each community is expecting to receive at this late stage would mean many communities have to go to their taxpayers and ask for more.

And Wall should be reminded that there only is one taxpayer.

NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS

The Clark’s Crossing Gazette welcomes the submission of news stories, photos, letters or any other information that would be of interest to the readers of this newspaper.

NEWS OR SPORTS STORIES

If you or someone you know has been involved in an event you think is newsworthy, please include your name and contact information (either a daytime telephone number and/or email address). Please send the information in a timely manner following the event and remember to include as much pertinent information as possible, including the following:

1. WHO was involved?

2. WHAT was the event?

3. WHEN and WHERE did the event occur?

4. WHY was the event important?

PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPS

All the information that goes with a news story should also accompany photo(s) as above. Include the names of all the people in each photo and identify from left to right and from back to front.

1. Set your camera to the highest resolution possible. The more resolution, the better the

final outcome of the photo in print.

2. Don’t be shy! Get close to your subject(s). Most photos taken with a built-in zoom lens extended will

produce “grainy” images that do not reproduce well.

3. Attempt to get dynamic photos of something happening instead of just a quick snapshot.

4. “Presentation” photos typically don’t work well if there are too many people side-by-side in the frame.

If there are many people in the photo, have them as close together as possible and, if needed, have

the front row seated and the back row standing.

5. Remember taking a picture facing into the sun or bright light will produce poor quality images.

Martensville revises fees for civic facilities

Martensville Community Access Centre takes new approach to funding

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Martensville Community Access Centre (MCAC) is looking to secure its future by becoming a visitor resource centre and also by providing administrative support for a proposed business association.

For the past six years, the MCAC, a non-profit community service agency, has relied on a series of temporary grants to fund its community-based programs and provide educational resources to residents. The centre, staffed by a part-time coordinator and run largely by volunteers, has also played a key role in organizing community events such as Canada Day in Martensville.

But grants have been getting harder to tap into over the past few years, and this year the MCAC was not able to get any funding from those sources, said Lori Morphy, President of the MCAC’s board of directors.

While the City of Martensville provides subsidized space for the MCAC in the Civic Centre on Main Street, it has traditionally not supplied funding for MCAC programs or staff.

The MCAC is not a city-run entity, said Morphy, noting it is an arms-length independent organization.

In an interview on Monday, February 9 following an MCAC board meeting, Morphy said the centre wants to continue offering programs like Baby Babble, Toddler Talk, Ah Ha Homework Club, job information, resume assistance, literacy book bags and seniors computer help. But in order to do that, she said, a more stable source of long-term funding needs to be found.

In mid-December, Morphy, along with MCAC Coordinator Kristee Lynn Adrian and MCAC Treasurer Brad Blixt presented a proposal to Martensville City Council requesting funding from the city in the amount of $30,000 to sustain the centre for a year.

In return for the grant, the MCAC would re-brand itself as the Martensville Visitor and Information Centre with a mission of “creating community connections.” At the same time, the centre would partner with

“We were very happy to get approved for the interim funding. We were pretty much at the point where we would have had to close the doors if it didn’t come through...”

• Lori Morphy the City of Martensville, Tourism Saskatchewan and Tourism Saskatoon to develop a local visitor information centre for Martensville and area. It would also develop partnerships with local businesses and services to assist with the development of a business association.

Martensville City Council agreed to provide interim funding to keep the centre’s doors open until the end of March, and Morphy said the board is currently waiting to hear if the full year’s funding will be approved by council.

“We were very happy to get approved for the interim funding,” she said. “We were pretty much at the point where we would have had to close the doors if it didn’t come through.

We simply couldn’t access any grants.”

Morphy said the centre’s volunteers and part-time staff are currently working to make connections with the business community in the hopes it will lead to creation of a business association.

“We are helping to plan the Martensville Business Expo slated for early May,” said Morphy. “We are also planning a business breakfast in late February to outline the benefits of a voluntary-membership organization to the business community. The centre could play a vital role in providing administrative support.”

Morphy said the centre should find out in the next few weeks if the city has approved the full year of funding. But in the meantime, she added, a separate grant has been applied for to ensure the traditional Canada Day festivities happen again this year.

“We have a committee set up to plan Canada Day events,” she said. “That will be going ahead, regardless of whether the long-term funding is approved or not”

The rental fees for civic facilities in Martensville are going up.

A revised schedule of fees for 2015 was adopted by Martensville City Council at its regular meeting on Tuesday, January 20. The fees reflect higher operating costs, according to Martensville Recreation and Community Services Director Dave Bosch.

The facilities covered under the agreement include the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre, the Lions Heritage Centre, the Civic Centre meeting rooms, the Martensville Sports Centre curling rink and various sports fields.

Admission rates and policies were also set for the Martensville Athletic Pavilion and the Martensville Aquatic Centre.

BOARD OF REVISION

The City of Martensville has appointed Gord Krismer and Associates Ltd. of Regina to provides services for a Local Board of Revision. The services of the firm were deemed necessary following the withdrawal of the RM of Corman Park from the Saskatoon District Board of Revision.

Warman Fire Rescue responds to serious calls in January

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Warman Fire Rescue responded to 30 calls in January, many of them of a very serious nature, according to Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin.

In his report to Warman City Council on Monday, February 9, Austin said while the number of calls in January was on par with the same month a year ago, there were several that were unusual, including a hazardous ice rescue at the Clarkboro Ferry crossing.

“The river rescue gained national attention and put a fantastic light on our team here,

and the city as a whole,” said Austin. “We are very proud to serve such a vibrant community and I think that pride showed in all the interviews and media attention.”

The department responded to 20 medical callsin January, including one fatal accident at an industrial plant in the RM of Corman Park. There was also one structural fire call within the RM, and five collisions on Highway 11, including one at the new Highway 305 intersection and two at Wanuskewin Road.

Austin said the department’s tender for a wildland firefighting truck was not successful.

Heart

Only one bidder came forward and both the price and the specifications were not satisfactory.

Two other options are currently in the works, said Austin, adding that both are looking promising. The wildland fire trucks are needed to combat grass and structural fires in otherwise inaccessible locations in the RM.

OPEN HOUSE DATES SET

The City of Warman will hold an open house on Thursday, March 12 at the Brian King Centre to outline its proposed Official Community Plan (OCP). There will be two sessions slated for the open house,

which will be a “come and go” format. The first session runs from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and the second from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. A survey of residents will be done at the open house.

Hanley drama students perform one giant leap

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Hanley Composite School drama students are getting ready to perform their annual production that promises to be out of this world but emphasizes familiar subject matter.

The name of the play, One Giant Leap will take audiences into the world of Zelma and Patience, two elderly ladies who are sent to the moon to live out their lives when the earth becomes too crowded. While on the moon they meet local aliens and cultures clash.

All of the character names are based on places in Saskatchewan.

The play was written by Drama Director Leanne Griffin and this year will mark the third time it has been performed.

“I wrote it a number of years ago I was working at a school in Allen. The first time we performed it in Hanley we went on and also performed it at provincials,” said Griffin. “We received runner up so we didn’t advance to complete but the kids that I have now are all young enough so none of them remember that show.”

Last year Hanley Composite School students won six drama awards at the Saskatchewan Drama Association’s provincial drama festival for their produc-

Premier freezes pay for Cabinet, senior bureaucrats Premier Brad Wall has announced a wage freeze for all senior government officials, including cabinet ministers.

“With the revenue challenges we are facing, our government is committed to controlling operating spending,” Wall said.

The wage freeze applies to: The Premier and Cabinet Ministers; Senior managers and out-of-scope (non-unionized) executive government employees; Senior managers and out-of-scope Crown Corporation employees; and Out-of-scope health region employees.

The wage freeze will cover the 2015-16 fiscal year for executive government and the 2015 fiscal year for Crown Corporations.

tion of Pandora.

This year’s play promises to once again be a challenge for students, especially those who have never spoken an alien language before.

Griffin created the language for the alien characters in the play, which she thought students could have a lot of fun with and also use the technique as a tool to stretch themselves as actors.

“When we rehearsed a scene students will go through and use the words as aliens and then do a scene using no words but telling the same story,” said Griffin. “The audience has to know the story without those words because if they don’t catch onto the language they need to know what is happening anyway.”

The trick is making sure facial expressions are used effectively because everything tells a story even if no language is involved, said Griffin.

The important message in the play Griffin would like students to become more aware of is the conflict and misunderstanding that comes from stereotyping and making assumptions.

The play features Grade 7 to Grade 12 students from Dundurn and Hanley with the first performance of the play scheduled for April 15 and 16 in Hanley before the SDA Regional Festival April 18 and 19 in Davidson.

Dalmeny, Osler claim junior basketball titles

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

It just doesn’t get any closer than that.

The Dalmeny Cougars edged the Warman Wolverines 39-38 in a cliffhanger championship final to claim the Central Valley Athletic Conference (CVAC) Tier A Junior basketball championship last weekend at Osler School.

The evenly-matched teams battled down the final buzzer, trading baskets in a hard-fought game.

Dalmeny had made it to the final after defeating the VCA Lions 39-31 in their opening round-robin game. Warman cruised to a 6222 victory over the Langham Vikings in their rond-robin matchup.

VCA earned a bronze medal at the tournament by virtue of a 5848 win over Langham in the third-place game.

On the boys side, home court advantage proved to be the difference, as the Osler Monarchs downed the Warman Wolverines 4334 in the gold medal championship game.

In the bronze medal game, the Dalmeny Cougars beat the Clavet Cougars 58-38.

Warman had earlier defeated Dalmeny 56-47 in the round-robin game, while Osler downed Clavet by a score of 47-20 to advance to the final.

Asquith wins double gold in Jr. B basketball tourney Asquith School racked up two gold medals at the Central Valley Athletic Conference (CVAC) junior tier B basketball tournament in Leask last weekend.

Tournament coordinator Mandy Currie said the event saw some great basketball on the court, with very close games.

Borden rink captures provincial Firefighters Curling championship

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Ian Wainwright’s rink from Borden will carry the colours for Saskatchewan at the upcoming Canadian Firefighters Curling Championships in Valleyfield, Quebec next month.

Wainwright earned the right to represent the province after defeating Dale Nixon’s rink from Moosomin in the final game of the Saskatchewan Firefighters Curling Association (SFFCA) Championship in Martensville on Sunday, February 9.

The firefighters bonspiel has been going for 56 years, said tournament organizer Dale Nixon in an interview on Saturday, February 8 at the host Martensville Curling Club.

“This bonspiel has a lot of history behind it,” said Nixon, a firefighter from Moosomin who has been competing in the provincial championship for 16 years. “We have struggled with numbers over the last few years, but Saskatchewan is a force to be reckoned with at the national level when it comes to curling.”

Nixon said over the last six years, Saskatchewan rinks have been among the top finish-

ers at the national championship.

“Saskatchewan has had three golds, a silver and a bronze, so that’s pretty good,” he said. “The two gold medals were in back-to-back years, and won by two different rinks.”

The national championship trophy, a replica fire hydrant, was on display at the Martensville Curling Club during the three-day provincial bonspiel, along with the jerseys worn by reigning champion Bernie Bandur and his teammates. Bandur, who served as Chair of the 2015 SFFCA Host Committee, didn’t curl this year due to an injury.

The firefighters provincial championship was last played in this region two years ago, when the event was sponsored by the Borden and Radisson Curling Clubs and held in Radisson. Nixon said the Martensville facility is “perfect” for the event. The club will host the firefighters bonspiel again in 2017.

While the level of competition is high, the biggest draw for curlers is the socializing and rubbing shoulders with fellow firefighters from across the province, said Nixon.

“It’s like a reunion,” he said.

“Everyone knows everyone else and there’s a lot of good-natured ribbing. On the ice, we’re obviously trying to win, but it’s friendly competition.”

The event is open to both fulltime professional and volunteer firefighters, noted Nixon, adding rinks are often made up of members from fire departments in different communities.

The provincial championship bonspiel saw nine rinks competing, with representation from Moosomin, Regina, Saskatoon, Borden, Assiniboia and Norquay.

The teams included: Moosomin: Cam Thompson, Dale Nixon, Owen Frape, Graham Mannle Regina: Jeff Gartner, Brad Schneider, Paul Comfort, Joel Kinz Regina/Saskatoon: Rick Day.

High school curling teams advance to regionals

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Borden School senior boys curling team won a silver medal at last year’s Saskatchewan Winter Games, and that experience helped them claim the boys district championship at the Central Valley Athletic Conference (CVAC) District bonspiel in Dalmeny last weekend.

Despite losing their first game to Colonsay, the Borden team refocused and went on to win five straight games, including the final rematch against Colonsay. Both Borden and Colonsay will compete at the upcoming regional high school playdowns in Meadow Lake February 27 and 28. The qualifiers from regionals will advance to provincials in Prince Albert in March.

Dwayne Yachiw, junior curling coach with the Granite Curling Club in Saskatoon, said the Borden team, consisting of skip Dallas Burnett, third Andrew Derksen, second Aidan Loessen and lead Eric Westad, as well as Wyatt Piprell and Graham Sargent and coach Ni-

cole Kaufmann) is a little different than the one that competed at the Saskatchewan Games.

The skip of the Colonsay team normally plays third for the Borden team, he said.

“So playing against one of their teammates was kind of fun,” said Yachiw. “There was some good-natured trash talking going on in the week leading up to this event.”

The Colonsay boys rink includes skip Tyler Camm, third Gavin Steckler, second Patrick Lang, lead Taylor H alvorson, as well as Luc Kirk and coach Darren Camm.

In the girls event, the defending provincial champions from Hanley are looking to repeat this year after claiming the CVAC district title. The rink includes skip Hanna Anderson, third Jill Kroeger, second Ashley Randall, lead Kirsten Cory, Jasmine Heagy an d coach Scott Anderson.

Grant Elke, coordinator of the district curling championship, said the Hanley rink proved tough to beat, with three starters from that team back again this year.

“They went undefeated

through all their matches,” said Elke. “But Colonsay gave them a run for their money in the A side final.” Colonsay also advanced to regionals after defeating Aberdeen in the B side final.

The Colonsay girls rink includes skip Chelsey Fitzsimmons, third Desiray Holland, second Chelsea Lockie, lead Jade Procyshyn and coach Darren Camm.

In the mixed category, Langham claimed the district championship and earned a berth in the regional playdowns, defeating Aberdeen and Colonsay along the way. The other qualifier in the mixed teams was Delisle, which lost its first game but then went on to four consecutive victories.

The Langham mixed rink is made up of skip Connor Wenko, third Chantelle MacLeod, second Mitchell Yellowlees, lead Tamara Wenzel, Birttany Mierau and coach Rebecca Ryde. The Delisle mixed team includes skip Harley Keenatch, third Payton Worth, second Braden Rein, lead Eliisa Landry and coach Barb Kielo.

Elke said he was pleased

with both the quality of the competition and the number of competitors at the event.

“In many parts of the province curling numbers have dropped,” said Elke. “But we don’t have that problem here.

I think the schools in our district have done a good job developing junior programs. They work with the local clubs to mentor young players and get them interested, and I think that’s the big reason it’s strong here.”

The provincial high school curling championship was held in Martensville last year, and that helped spark enthusiasm among students for the sport, said Megan Larson, coach of the Martensville boys curling team.

“This is one of the first years we’ve had a consistent group of curlers come out,” said Larson. “This is their third year, so they’ve played together quite a bit. Our skip and third curl together outside of school at the local club and they’re very passionate about the game.”

Larson said the team was knocked out of regional competition last year, but still got a

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Rosthern High School girls at district curling playdowns taste of provincials by virtue of being the host club. This year, she said, they were hoping to get another crack at the title.

“They saw what it was all about last year, and they would like to do it again,” she said.

Larson said coaching curling is a refreshing change from her normal duties as a special education teacher at the school.

“I love my job and I’m passionate about it, but working with these students is a whole different experience, and it’s

also something I love to do,” she said.

Larson said the sport appeals to all types of students because of its combination of physical skill and tactical strategy.

“It’s brains and brawn,” she said. “If you’re not a typical athlete you may still enjoy it because of the strategy involved.

The idea is to always see the big picture and try and stay a few steps ahead of your opponent.”

DEVELOPMENT APPEALS

The City of Martensville, City of Warman, the RM of Corman Park and the Towns of Osler, Dalmeny and Langham have been signatories to a District Development Appeals agreement. A

Recently, the secretary of the Appeals Board, who worked out of the RM of Corman Park office, resigned.

This necessitated changes to the agreement. The City of Martensville has appointed Ty Czerniak, planning and community development officer for the

city, as its designated secretary to the District Development Appeals Board for the 2015 term.

The project includes odour abatement structures, lagoon upgrades, a large sewage pumping station, discharge force main piping to a larger regional treatment system new and increased capacity for water supply piping, and reservoir pumping station upgrades to allow for continuous monitoring and more centralized and automated controls for pressure and flow.

SaskWater has announced a two year rate adjustment for customers receiving potable and non-potable water.

The rate adjustments for potable water customers will be seven percent or nine percent effective in May 2015 and May 2016. SaskWater is a wholesale supplier of water to communities who then distribute the water to their residents. While individual communities will determine how they pass on the cost, SaskWater estimates the average impact to individual households receiving potable water will be an increase of $5.10 per month in 2015 and $5.45 per month in 2016.

This announcement impacts customers who do not already have rate adjustment mechanisms specified in their water supply agreements. SaskWater estimates approximately 36,000 residents will be impacted by this change, and will be sending written notifications to each customer advising them of their specific adjustment.

Non-potable water customers will all receive one percent increases, except large industrial customers served from the

Saskatoon South East Water Supply system who will receive seven percent increases due to the significant and ongoing refurbishment work being done to the canal system. SaskWater municipal customers affected by the 2015-2016 multi-year rate adjustment include: Martensville, Warman.

Towns: Aberdeen, Allan, Dalmeny, Hague, Lanigan, Osler, Bethune, Bradwell, Clavet, Disley, Elbow, Elstow, Hepburn, Marquis, Riverhurst, Tuxford, Vanscoy, Viscount, Resort Village of Shields.

his first match and injured out after his second.

For the first time ever, Warman had three female wrestlers compete at a tournament, which shows how well our program is growing.

The girls wrestled very tough and had a lot of success.

Andrea Anderson in her first tournament ever placed third; so did Summer Shah, who had four great matches. Alyssa Tumack finished fourth in her pool.

Our Elite Male team was made up of our senior grade 12 wrestlers, including Micah Heide, Derek Buhler and Tyler Hume. It was a tough tournament and but these boys

showed a ton of hear,t which was evident when Tyler Hume fought for 90 seconds to get out of a pin and almost pinned his opponent but the time ran out.

Micah Heide had four tough matches but competed in all of them and got fourth place in the 73kg weight class.

Derek Buhler was in the final of the tournament and in a hard fought battle lost, but got second in the 98kg weight class.

It was a great tournament and many teams are taking notice of our Warman squad.

Our next action is Feb. 28 at St. Mary’s in Prince Albert and we host SHSAA Regional Championships on Saturday March 7 at Warman High School.

Housing starts decline in Saskatoon region: CMHC Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 3,429 units in January compared to 3,455 in December, 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 remained relatively stable in January after a declining trend in single-detached starts was countered by an increasing trend in multi-family construction. Following a strong performance for housing starts last year, builders will be keen to ensure that demand from new home buyers in 2015 is first channelled toward their com-

plete and unsold inventory,” 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.

The standalone monthly SAAR was 2,300 units in January, down from 2,768 in December. While fewer actual starts were reported in both the single-detached and multi-family sectors, the decrease in January was most pronounced among multiples where 96 units were started compared to 308 in January 2014.

‘Near normal’ spring runoff expected: WSA forecast The southern half of Saskatchewan should experience “near normal” runoff conditions this spring, according to the latest forecast by the Water Security Agency (WSA).

The WSA released the February forecast for spring runoff on Monday, February 9.

The forecast said a near normal spring runoff is expected across most of the southern half of Saskatchewan with below normal runoff for areas north of Cold Lake, La Ronge, and Creighton.

“Most of the province was saturated going into winter freeze up but warm temperatures in the month of January have helped lower the snowpack,” Minister Responsible for the Water Security Agency Scott Moe said. “The Water Security Agency will be monitor-

ard o b la l a

ing precipitation levels and conducting snow surveys to get a clearer picture of what the runoff outlook will be as we move closer to spring.”

The spring runoff forecast has the potential to change in the weeks and months ahead.

Below normal snowfall and a slower melt rate would result in below normal runoff. Conversely, above normal precipitation going forward and a rapid melt could still result in high runoff and potential flooding.

Extreme rainfall events are very unpredictable as the province experienced in the summer of 2014. As always, excess rainfall in the spring could significantly alter the runoff outlook and create excess moisture in some areas.

The WSA will continue conducting snow surveys as part of forecasting the spring melt and subsequent runoff.

Donna Miller releases third volume of heartfelt memoir

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

When you grow up in a family plagued by domestic violence finding a way to cope with the ordeal is often the toughest challenge.

Author Donna Miller decided to write her memoir in the hopes of getting her story out there and to open reader’s eyes to her struggles, which she carried with her and still does to this day.

“I want people to know the devastating effects of domestic violence, how it is handed down over the generations and how it alters a persons thinking,” said Miller.

“When you see your mother being slapped around and beat all the time. You don’t think like normal people do.”

The women in Miller’s life are predominantly featured throughout the now three volumes of her memoir.

Miller’s mother Angelina grew up in Warman.

In the first volume Black Fury: Help Me I’m Naked published in 2012 by Your Nickel’s Worth publishing, readers learn about Miller’s mother, her upbringing during wartime, the great depression until Miller’s birth. It then details Miller’s formative years as well as her marriage and divorce.

Jessie Williams, Assessor

The second installment titled A Family of Our Own: Help Me I’m Naked published in 2013 takes readers through Miller’s early 20s, while her latest book Know Thyself takes readers into Miller’s experiences living in Big River bush country with her mother and kids.

Miller said volume three of her memoir is really about understanding who she is.

“The third book has helped me to understand myself a lot better. I knew different things but I did not understand be-

cause to have knowledge is one thing but to understand what you possess is another,” said Miller.

Originally when Miller thought of writing a memoir she was going to write a fairly tale ending, but was advised not to by members of the Saskatchewan Writers Guild.

This meant telling it like it is and putting herself out there, said Miller.

“I had to play a couple of roles. I had to be the observer and I had to write as is. I

15022SMF00

try to write my books in the present tense. Not in the presence tense of the wording but how I viewed everything at the time,” said Miller. “As I child I thought that my mom and dad were putting on a big act but I thought it was a big and scarey act.”

After Black Fury was published the book was the award winning memoir at the Great Northwest Book Festival, but feedback from her books has been positive.

“I have received some really

good feedback but most people have told me that they need a box of cleanex to go along with the books,” said Miller.

A SaskBooks review said Miller’s book was an engrossing, heartfelt, and honest memoir.

“Miller is a natural story-teller and memoirist, her memory of events startlingly clear, the prose crystalline, spare, and even. The events it depicts are relentlessly tragic, yet affirm the gift of life in faith, grace, and hope. The sense of harmony at this memoir’s depth is achieved through the rich development of its many strong fe-

male characters, who repeatedly demonstrate ingenuity, self-sacrifice, and resilience in the most trying circumstances imaginable.”

Miller recently participated in a book signing for Know Thyself at McNalley Robinson in Saskatoon, February 7.

However, Miller who has been pumping out a book a year for three years straight, said she may take a break before working on volume 4.

“I’m 60 years old so my books cover quite a bit of area. Book four will be difficult emotionally because I have a lot of guilt and I am a bit older.”

Controversial winning goal lifts Contacts over Beardy’s

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

A convtroversial game-winning goal spelled a 4-3 loss for the Beardy’s Blackhawks at the hands of the Saskatoon Contacts in Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League action in Martensville February 7.

Heading off the dressing room after the game, Blackhawks head coach Dale Grayston made it known to referees and linesmen that he was not happy with what he felt was their miscue on the play.

Grayson said it is just something the team will have to live with.

“The Contacts coach admitted to me after the game that their player said the puck did not go in the net,” said Grayson. “I just wish it wasn’t such a close play and the referee had better positioning on it.”

The Blackhawks currently sit ninth in league standings with four games remaining in their regular season, which makes every game important.

Grayston said despite the loss both teams played well. But he wished his team would have turned it around with more games to make up for a playoff spot.

“We played good hockey in the last seven games and we have improved a ton. I don’t think we are not out of it yet, but we are going to need help from other teams to catch the Moosejaw Generals.

A win for the Blackhawks looked promising in the first period of Saturday’s game. Trevar Mann got his team on the scoreboard when he tipped a shot past Contacts goaltender Declan Hobbs on a set up from Nick Sumlandski and Levi Klelboer to take a 1-0 lead into the dressing room.

The Contacts answered back early in the second period when Garett Pilon evened up the score with a unassisted marker. But the Blackhawks went on a bit of a streak after that when Bryton Fels broke the tie and Sumlandski scored what would be the prettiest goal of the night when he accepted a pass from Daylin Smallchild and Trevar Mann in the low slot, skated in and slid the puck just inside the post on Hobb’s short-side.

Sumlandski’s goal gave the Blackhawks a 3-2 lead, but it was shortened early in the third period when the Contacts Kole Lind scored the equalizer, the controversial game winner and an open net goal when the Blackhawks pulled goaltender David Theil for an extra attacker. The final score was 5-3.
