Warman passes sump discharge bylaw

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

With spring melting and the prospect of surface water runoff just around the corner, the City of Warman has passed a bylaw providing for new regulations involving sump pump discharge.

The new bylaw is aimed at bringing the Warman regulations into line with those of the City of Saskatoon.

Under the new bylaw, which was carried with all three readings at the Warman city council meeting on Monday, February 23, discharge of sump pumps and the minimum distances between sumps and footings is spelled out.

The bylaw states that “sump pumps shall not directly charge in to a rear alley or side street, ad should not extend to within three meters of a rear property line, and within one meter of a side property line. Piping shall also exit the residence from the rear exterior wall.”

The bylaw stipulates the minimum distance between the sump and the footings of a residence has been changed from one meter (40 inches) to 18 inches.

The new regulations are aimed at preventing flooding of adjacent properties and public roads or alleys, according to

Chris Hilash, Junior Planner with the City of Warman. In a presentation to council, Hilash noted the regulation was developed after feedback from home builders in Warman, and follows to a large extent the standards set by the City of Ssakatoon.

HAICHERT STREET PAVING Warman city council approved the Local Improvement Report for paving Haichert Street West.

The approval of council is required prior to a review by the Saskatchewan Municipal Board (SMB), followed by public advertising and the passing of a local improvement bylaw.

Haichert Street West was one of the streets that was not paved in the late 1990s because a majority of property owners at that time voted against the local improvement. A survey last fall, however, revealed the vast majority of property owners now are in favour of the project, and it is expected to proceed this year.

COMMUNICATION PLAN A communication plan for the city’s economic development office was given approval at the Warman city council meeting on February 23.

In a report to council, Economic Development Officer Josh Welz

said the plan is aimed at establishing “best practices in communication for the Mayor, Council and City staff where matters of internal and external communication are concerned, helping the city become more efficient in achieving its long and short term goals.” It is aimed at improving communication within the city for residents, businesses and external stakeholders, according to Welz.

MAJOR CONFERENCE Several senior City of Warman officials attended a major conference in British Columbia in late January aimed at attracting new businesses to the city of Warman. According to Josh Welz, who attended the conference along with Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence and Warman City Manager Stanley Westby, the primary focus was to secure an anchor tenant for the Stonegate mall development.

In a report to council, Welz said they worked with the developer of the site to hold a number of productive meetings with major corporations.

“Overall, our attendance at the conference was a successful step in helping our city secure muchneeded new businesses, for the Stonegate site and beyond,” said Welz.

Cold temperatures and a somewhat nasty windchill weren’t enough to dampen the enthusiasm of a crowd in Warman that turned out for the grand opening of the gazebo in Prairie Oasis Park on Friday, February 20. Cookies and hot chocolate helped keep everyone warm as the snow swirled around. Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence, along with Warman Community Association executive member Sharon Martens and Warman Recreation and Community Services Manager Paul McGonigal cut the ribbon marking the gazebo’s official opening. The gazebo was donated by the Warman Community Association, a volunteer organization which raised $20,000 for the structure. The Community Association’s next fundraiser is their 9th Annual Ladies Diamond Dinner, slated for Saturday, March 7 at the Brian King Centre in Warman. The evening includes door prizes, live entertainment, and a first-class catered dinner. Tickets are available by calling Sharon at 306-934-5914, Grace at 306-384-1092 or Tanya at 306-262-1729.

Corman Park imposes speed limit reduction on 71st Street

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

By TERRY PUGH

The RM of Corman Park amended its Traffic Bylaw with a speed limit change to a section of 71st Street during a council meeting, February 17.

The section extends from the intersection of Highway 16 west to the intersection of Range Road 3060.

The speed limit for this section was 70km/hr, but when the Traffic Bylaw was revised a request was brought to administration’s attention to reduce this section of road down to 60 km/hr, said RM of Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore.

The reduction in speed is believed to benefit businesses located along this section of road and will improve public safety, said RM of Corman Park Public Works Director Joe Stewart.

“Myself, along with the Corman Park Police, have no objection about reducing that section from 70 down to 60,” said Stewart.

Levy aims to fix roads in Merrill Hills

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

It took a two hour discussion during a Corman Park council meeting on Tuesday, February 17 to decide on a funding model to fix access and internal roads in the Hamlet of Merrill Hills.

During an earlier RM council meeting on January 19, a delegation made up of Merrill Hills home owners and hamlet board members presented a 13-page document detailing a history of their original agreement to chip-seal the main road leading into the hamlet and internal roads.

Osler firefighters spray water on a snowmobile that caught fire in Osler on Monday afternoon. The vehicle (inset) burned very quickly once the fuel became ignited. This was the first fire-related call for the Osler Fire Rescue crews since moving into their new fire hall earlier this month.

A woman and child were able to avoid injury when the snowmobile they were riding in Osler suddenly caught fire.

Several members of Osler Fire Rescue service responded to the 911 call and were able to extinguish the blaze, which happened in an alley not far from the Osler town office.

The incident occurred about 1:30 p.m. on Monday, February 23.

The woman driving the snomwobile said she noticed flames coming from under the hood of her sled and stopped immediately.

She was able to get herself and her young passenger safely away from the vehicle, which burned very rapidly because of the fuel in the gas tank.

Osler Town Foreman Don Regier was one of the first to respond to the blaze. He attempted to put out the blaze with a small fire extinguisher, but the vehicle was fully engulfed in a very short time.

Osler firefighters were on the scene in a matter of minutes and quickly extinguished the fire after hooking up a hose to a pumper truck.

This marked the first fire-related call that firefighters responded to from their new fire hall on the service road adjacent to Highway 11.

The fire department moved into the new facility three weeks ago, and responded to several medical calls in that time period.

The fire hall still has work to be done on the second floor portion, but the main hall is pretty well finished, according to Osler Fire Chief Jason Pauls.

Fundraising is continuing for the hall, said Pauls. Tickets for the Osler Firefighters Ball, a major fundraiser for the depaertment, are selling well, according to firefighters.

The Osler Firefighters Ball is set for Saturday, March 14.

FOCUSING ON FUN Family Learning Olympics promotes literacy

There’s more to literacy than just reading books.

That’s the message Read Saskatoon is promoting with an interactive workshop called “Family Learning Olympics” set up at the Legends Centre in Warman on Wednesday, February 18.

“The Family Learning Olympics is a great way for families to connect and talk about literacy beyond simply reading a book together,” explained Desiree Tirk, program manager with the non-profit literacy advocacy group based in Saskatoon. “We’ve been doing this for the past three years, and it’s one of our most popular programs because it allows parents to be actively engaged in their child’s learning outside the school environment.”

The workshop uses a dozen “learning stations” that enable kids to learn concepts like map reading, numeracy and spelling, all by using game formats.

Another station promotes mapreading skills by allowing kids to find their home community on a map, and trace the best route to a lake or another community.

“It’s aimed at linking language and play together,” said Tirk. “All the stations have a literacy twist that gets kids and parents playing together.”

All the activities can be recreated at home using inexpensive materials, said Tirk.

“We run about thirty of these events annually in Saskatoon and outlying communities,” she said. “Most of the events

are hosted by schools, but we also have community organizations that invite us to come out as well. The groups provide the space and the volunteers, and we offer the programs for a small fee.”

The Family Literacy Olympics in Warman was hosted by the City of Warman’s Recreation and Community Services Department at the Legends Centre as part of the annual week of family-oriented programming offered during the February school break.

Tirk said literacy is a community issue that affects people’s health and socio-economic well-being.

She noted that Read

Saskatoon is launching a new program in early April that focuses on financial literacy.

“Setting a budget is something that’s not talked about within families very often,” said Tirk. “But discussions on how families spend, save and share their money is something that kids, even young kids, should be part of.

“We’re excited to be kicking off that program in early April.

It will give families challenges and be similar to the Family Learning Olympics. Families will earn money and then they will have ten challenges on how they spend or save their money as they work their way through a family budget book.”

Martensville approves discretionary use for residential group home facility

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A discretionary use application for a residential group home was approved by Martensville City Council at its meeting on Tuesday, February 17.

The application by We Care Home Health Services is for a single-family residential home on Klassen Crescent in Martensville. The home will provide 24-hour, in-home support services for two 10-year-old special needs children under contract for the provincial Ministry of Social Services.

We Care Home Health Servic-

es first contracted with the province to care for the children in August 2014.

The application was approved by council subject to the conditions that the number of children in 24-hour care be limited to four; that the children do not have psychological issues that would disrupt the neighborhood; and that the facility be prohibited from providing any custodial care in the future which would fall under a different category, and therefore require a new application.

The issue was discussed at the city council’s committee of the whole meeting on Febru-

ary 10, and it was noted that neighbours did not have any concerns provided the conditions in the application were met.

We Care Home Health Services representative Barry Foster said in the discretionary use application that the provincial ministry of social services is hoping the children can remain in Martensville to maintain their family, school and community connections.

“The Ministry approached We Care to begin the process of developing a home in Martensville,” said Foster. “While the initial goal is to develop

The policy provides for certain property tax breaks for businesses that meet certain requirements regarding building size, property improvements, job creation and other criteria. New businesses now included in the amended list include Boston Pizza, expected to open later this year, and Canadian Tire.

a residential group home for the two children, the ministry has made it known that they would consider placing an additional one, perhaps two, other children who require this type of care.

According to a background report for council prepared by Martensville City Manager Scott Blevins, the city administration is currently finalizing the 2014 budget actual expenditures.

“We would like to have our numbers as accurate as possible to assist in balancing the 2015 budget,” stated Blevins in his report to council. “Based on capital and land purchases we need to find about $1.4 million in new money.”

New care home opens in Warman

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Families looking for an affordible home to care for their loved ones have a relible option in Warman.

Diane and Walter Neufeld just completed putting the finishing touches on a new car home which will accomodate 10 residents, including two rooms which will accomodate a couple, which is a feature few care homes have in Saskatchewan.

“We have been lisenced for Level 1 care by Sask Health, which means we can care for people in the early stages of dementia, but there are certain considerations within that, said Diane Neufeld.

She said care would include cooking, cleaning, help with baths, drug dispensation and activities.

Setting up a care home can be a lengthly process; from zoning the land, construction and adhering to Sask Health regulartions, but the care home

which is located on 104 Canora Street West in Warman only took seven months to complete from start to finish.

The home is 1840 square feet, which is 690 square feet larger than the house’s original size.

The new care home is not a new venture for the Neufelds.

She ran a care home in Saskatoon for several years and has a good reputation for providing quality care for people who need a home away from home for their loved ones to live.

Walter said operating a good care home is quite simple really.

“As long as you provide good food, care and treat people with dignity that’s all you need,” he said.

The Neufelds already have four employees hired for the care home, which are trained in First Aid and CPR as well as home care, food handling and drug administration courses.

Martensville takes on physical activity challenge The City of Martensville has accepted the Get Our Community Moving Challenge, and according to Joanna Zalesiak, Recreation Program Coordinator with the city, the community is determined to win.

Saskatchewan Blue Cross and Saskatchewan In Motion have challenged communities across the province to get active for a chance to win $10,000!

The community with the most minutes of physical activity registered during the 15-day challenge will win a $10,000 prize.

Zalesiak said if the community wins, the City of Martensville plans to put the $10,000 prize to good use.

“If our community is declared the winner, we will increase physical activity for the kids in our community by upgrading our existing ball diamonds to create safer areas for active play,” she said.

The City of Martensville is counting on residents, friends, neighbours and family mem-

Warman Elementary School

bers to get moving.

“It’s easy to record and register the minutes of physical activity online every day from March 2 to 16,” said Zalesiak.

“Last year, the community of Dalmeny took the lead and won the Challenge by logging over 385,000 minutes of physical activity.”

Zalesiak said residents can participate by doing the following: 1. Be physically active every day, 2. Log on to the challenge website every day (challenge. saskatchewaninmotion.ca), 3. Register your minutes of physical activity to add to the community total.

be about $2400 a month, which compared to Saskatoon would be around 600 dollars cheaper, said Diane.

She said with only word of mouth advertising she has already attracted interest from potential residents in Rosthern, Waldheim and Saskatoon, because there is not a lot of room available. People also like to be closer to hospitals in Saskatoon.

After retiring as an assistant from the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at a hospital for 30 years she said she needed something to keep her busy and caring for people is something she is passionate about and hopes she can do for many years to come in Warman.

Residents of Martensville are still encouraged to use the city’s storm water retention ponds for recreational use, but the rules regarding that usage have been tightened up to become more closely aligned with neighbouring municipalities.

The City of Martensville council adopted a revised policy regarding usage of its storm retention ponds at its most recent meeting on Tuesday, February 17.

The new policy allows residents to use the ponds in both winter and summer, but restricts the uses to certain activities. The new policy was implemented to ensure the city has adequate liability insurance coverage.

The new policy permits skating, shinny and ice fishing on ponds which are maintained for those purposes in the winter by the city’s public works department. Any activities on ponds not maintained by the city are strictly on a “at your own risk” basis.

In a background paper outlining the issue to council members, Martensville Recreation and community Services Director Dave Bosch noted the city did not have a formal policy regarding the usage of storm retention ponds by residents.

“However, the city maintains and has promoted the following winter usage such as skating, shinny and fishing and also summer usage such as fishing and canoeing on certain ponds

and canals,” stated Bosch in the background document. “As well, many residents whose homes back onto such ponds have cleared the ice during the winter for skating surfaces.”

Bosch said while the city has encouraged the use of these ponds, and will continue to do so, there is a need to bring the city’s policy into line with neighbouring communities.

“It was suggested by our insurance carrier that the city should develop a policy,” said Bosch. “It was suggested that we should see if such policies exist with neighbouring centres, and if so, develop a policy equivalent, as the court of law will take such policies into consideration if legal action would occur.”

Bosch said the polices of Saskatoon, Warman, Swift Current, Yorkton and Moose

Jaw were examined. Some cities, like Warman, monitor the depth of the ice and post warning signs if the ice is thin. The City of Warman does not clear or maintain any ice surfaces, and has a policy that anyone using the ice surface does so at their own risk.

Swift Current, Moose Jaw and Yorkton do not allow residents to utilize the storm retention ponds for recreational use under any circumstances.

Under the new policy, the City of Martensville policy will mirror that of the City of Warman, with the exception that Martensville will continue to clear and maintain certain ponds for approved recreational use in the winter.

Cuthand’s column contains inaccuracies

By COLIN CRAIG

Prairie Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

COMMENTARY

Like the sun rising in the east and the moon rotating around the earth, Doug Cuthand’s recent column in the local daily paper, “Modest salaries of most chiefs belie CTF claims,” predictably includes several inaccuracies; including some about our organization. Let’s begin with the title. For years the Canadian Taxpayers Federation has highlighted case after case of exorbitant chief and council pay examples across Canada. But despite Cuthand’s claims, we’ve also gone out of our way to note that such instances are not the norm.

Since we first started pushing for the new First Nations Financial Transparency Act back in 2009, we’ve noted that disclosing chief and council pay publicly would help everyone sort out which chiefs are abusing their power to set their own pay and which ones are not. Ultimately, transparency would empower the grassroots on reserves to hold their elected officials accountable.

In fact, some already have. Since the federal governments started posting chief and council pay data online, residents on the 267-person Shuswap First Nation in B.C. discovered their chief made over $200,000 tax-free. Shocked by the news, the community voted him out of office.

Perhaps now the new, lower-paid chief can divert some of the savings towards hooking people up with running water?

Cuthand also uses Toronto Star data to back up his claim that the typical chief makes a “modest” $60,000 per year. Yet, Cuthand neglected to note something else the Toronto Star noted. The $60,000 per year is tax-free. For someone living off reserve in Saskatchewan, and paying income taxes, $60,000 tax-free works out to $81,000. Not exactly chump change considering the average reserve in Canada has about 1,100 people. Cuthand also neglected to note the $60,000 figure isn’t the full story. As a former insider in aboriginal politics, he knows that most chiefs receive extra money that isn’t reported in the data the Toronto Star reviewed.

While Premier Brad Wall doesn’t get extra pay for meeting other premiers, chiefs often receive extra money for meeting with other chiefs and sitting on publicly-funded boards.

For example, leaked documents revealed Standing Buffalo Chief Roger Redman made $174,000 tax-free in 2011-12 from his community. That figure would have been disclosed in type of data the Toronto Star reviewed. But what wouldn’t have been disclosed is the $13,375 Redman made by sitting on the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations board and the $6,500 he received by sitting on the Battlefords Agency Tribal Chiefs Inc. It’s not known if he made any money from the File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council. Again, all these payments are taxfree and are related to him being chief.

While Cuthand notes he reviewed our site to look for “positive news” about the “modest” incomes earned by chiefs, perhaps his bias led him right past something we posted back on December 11, 2014. In an article titled “Some of the Higher Chief and Council Pay Numbers We’ve Seen,” we included a large table that showed 88 examples of chiefs and councillors making the equivalent of over $200,000 (for someone living off reserve and paying income taxes).

Cuthand also missed this note on that same article, even though it also appeared in the Toronto Star story as well: “Please don’t consider the figures below as ‘the norm’ - plenty of aboriginal politicians don’t make anywhere near the amounts in the table. But, just as we see with discussions about compensation and benefits for off reserve politicians, it’s the outliers that receive more attention.”

We’re willing to talk about the outliers.

It’s too bad Cuthand won’t.

Boom better for the cities than rural Sask.

Clearly, the great Saskatchewan job and people boom has been better for the cities than the rural areas.

Consider Regina: Canada’s fourth fastest-growing city that saw its population (including surrounding area) increased by 2.8 per cent last year to 237,758.

The increase was largely caused by immigration (4,350 more people) and births (3,086 more people).

And Saskatoon’s numbers were even better as Canada’s third fastest growing city.

But what may be a little frustrating for rural folks is the great Saskatchewan job and population boom may be coming to an end without rural Saskatchewan having participated in it as much as they hoped they would.

Not since before the Great Depression of our grandparents have we seen a growth spurt in Saskatchewan’s population like the one we saw from 2004 to 2014.

In that decade-long period, Saskatchewan grew by 128,098 more people. And similar to that last period of growth, the vast majority of newcomers;

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

98,272 of the 128,098 or 76.7 per cent; were working-age people (between 15 and 64 years) that came here in search of job opportunities.

They didn’t come to seek welfare or unemployment. During that decade-long period, unemployment fell from a respectable average of 5.3 per cent in 2004 to an unbelievably low 3.8 per cent in 2014.

But it’s also quite clear that most of these people didn’t set up their homes in Saskatchewan for jobs in the oil patch or the potash mines … although people in places like Kindersley, Swift Current, Weyburn, Estevan, Moosomin, Esterhazy, Lloydminster, Langenburg are surely thankful for the ones that did.

According to Statistics Canada, Saskatoon and Regina also have more working age peo-

ple than just about anywhere in the country.

With 70.8 per cent of Saskatoon’s population between 15 and 64 years, Saskatoon is well above the national average of 68.2 per cent and third highest in the nation behind only Calgary and Edmonton. Regina is also above the national average at 69.7%of the population.

But what should be even more disconcerting is that the two largest cities (still less than half the province’s population) are also well above the overall provincial average that indicates 66.6 per cent are between 15 and 64 years.

And it’s much worse in specific rural areas, according to the Stats. Can.’s numbers.

For example, the median age in Saskatchewan is now 36 years. We are actually younger than we’ve been in some time, but you might not know that by rural Saskatchewan.

The median age in the Yorkton-Melville region is 43.4 years with only 61.1 per cent between 15 and 64 years and 20.9 per cent 65 and older.

In Swift Current-Moose Jaw, the median age is 42.2 years

Reader Opinions

with only 63.7 per cent in working age category while 19.2 per cent are seniors.

The Prince Albert region fares a little better, with only 15.5 per cent seniors (still, slightly higher than Regina or Saskatoon), but there are still only 63.2 per cent in the 15 to 64 years category.

So despite making overall progress; Saskatchewan has gone from the highest rate of seniors in the 2006 census to the seventh highest percentage of seniors in the 2011 census; the rural areas still have more retirement-age folks than the cities.

Although many farmers don’t subscribe to the notion of retirement at 65 years, this can’t be good news if we are now losing jobs. And in January, Saskatchewan had 1,200 less working people than a year earlier.

This is hardly reason for panic. This may not even be a trend.

But if we are headed for a downward slide, it’s not great news for rural Saskatchewan that hasn’t benefited as much from the boom as the cities.

SES raises serious concerns about Fortune Minerals project Readers of the Gazette need to know that the proposed Fortune Minerals Processing plant should be a dead issue.

On Tuesday, February 17, the Saskatchewan Environmental Society (SES) presented their views of the proposal to the Corman Park council. The SES spoke to concerns of “serious degradation of the air, soil and water.”

In terms of air their concern is the spreading of dust containing arsenic, impacting “on the air quality of the growing populations to the east in Dalmeny, Martensville, Osler, Warman and Aberdeen and possibly many areas of Saskatoon.”

In terms of water their concern falls into two categories: surface/ground water and the Dalmeny Aquifer. Surface and ground water could be compromised by high spring runoff or heavy rainfall flooding residue pits, causing this water to be contaminated with arsenic. Secondly,the Dalmeny Aquifer’s fresh drinking water could be compromised by the brine injection wells that may fail over time as well as eventual leakage of the waste pits, allowing arsenic to migrate over time down into the Dalmeny Aquifer.

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.

Target Shooting proved to be a very successful event for the province at the Games, bringing in a total of six medals for Saskatchewan.

Five of those medals were won by members of the Saskatoon Rifle and Revolver Club at the Saskatoon Wildlife Federation.

Although air rifle shooter Rychel Smith of Warman did not bring home a medal, he shot a score that beat his personal best score by 10 points.

mini-stick hockey

A total of 34 teams took part in the first annual Warman Mini-Stick Hockey tournament at the Legends Centre on Thursday, February 19. The tournament featured teams of four players each, with competition for different age groups ranging from 5-6 years old up to 12 years old. The kids were required to wear hockey helmets and gloves for protection, and the action in each of the ten-minute games was fast and furious.

The response to the event was so overwhelming it will definitely be held again next year, according to the Warman Recreation and Community Services Department, which organized the tournament.

Goaltending camp helps netminders get psyched up for playoff stretch

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Dozens of young goaltenders from across Saskatchewan were in Warman last week getting pointers from one of the top coaches in the world.

The Eli Wilson Goaltending Camp at the Legends Centre ran for three days from February 16 to 18, and featured on-ice drills as well as classroom sessions.

Eli Wilson has helped NHL stars Carey Price, Tim Thomas, James Reimer, Tuukka Rask and Cory Schneider sharpen their game. He’s coached rising stars like Eric Comrie and Malcolm Subban, and is considered one of the top goalie coaches in the world.

But the soft-spoken resident of Abbotsford says it doesn’t matter whether the kid wearing the pads has just signed an NHL contract, or is just starting out in the position with his novice team. The whole point is to provide him or her with the skills and knowledge to improve as a goaltender and learn skills to become a better person.

“Honestly, I enjoy being on the ice and living in the moment,” he said. “I’m proud of the accomplishments of the guys who have made it to the NHL and who have played for the Canadian national team.

But those guys earned that rec-

are motivated to attend a specialized camp like this one are already showing they want to move up to a higher level.

“A lot of the kids at this camp have been to camps before,” said Wilson in an interview on Wednesday, February 18. “For most of them, this is a tune-up before playoffs and going into the last stretch of the season. So we just try and keep things as simple as possible and help them hone their skills and teach them how to stay focused.”

Wilson said having the right psychology is important for goalies.

“A big thing, obviously, for a goalie is to “A big thing, obviously, live and play in for a goalie is to live the moment, because you can’t and play in the moment, worry about the last goal you just because you can’t worry gave up. That’s history. about the last goal

drill, they’re doing it not just so they have some good exercise, they’re doing the drill so that they improve with every rep they take.”

Wilson said goalies are the anchor of their hockey team.

“Hockey basically comes down to goaltending,” he said.

“The game revolves around the goaltending. If you don’t have a good goalie, you don’t win. It’s as simple as that. You put two teams on the ice that are equal in most ways, and the team with the best goalie will win 95 per cent of the time. It really does come down to that one position.”

Dan Meyer, who is a partner in the Eli Wilson Goaltending camp enterprise, said the camps operate in many centres throughout North America, and attract young goalies from around the world.

“Eli lives in Abbotsford, and we have our head office in Toronto,” said Meyer. “We run camps in Detroit, Denver, Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Lloydminster, Calgary, Kelowna and other centres. There are a variety of types of camps. We run an introductory camp for atom and novice age kids, and regular camps for atom to junior age players.

“We also have high performance camps aimed at players who are Bantam Triple A to Junior levels, an elite prospects camp for Midget Double A and Triple A to Minor Pro, and we also run a pro camp. You have to have an NHL contract to attend that one.”

The pro camp is limited to a maximum of six students, said Meyer.

He said Wilson’s credentials as a goaltending coach are impressive.

“He’s currently the goaltending coach for the Vancouver Giants of the WHL, and the Pursuit of Excellence hockey program in Kelowna and also the Delta Wild hockey Academy in Delta, BC. “In the past he was the goaltending coach for the Ottawa Senators as well as the Syracuse Crunch, the farm team for the Anaheim Ducks. He coached the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL for four years,.

So that’s an impressive record, and he’s only 37 years old.”

The next Eli Wilson Goaltending camp is slated to come to Warman’s Legends Centre in August.

An instructor helps a young goaltender get the proper stance during an on-ice session at the Eli Wilson Goaltending camp at the Legends Centre in Warman on Wednesday, February 18.

The threeday camp attracted dozens of players from across the province.

Wolverines CVAC 2015 Jr. Boys CVAC Finalists

- Coach Guy Farquharson The Wolverines played two excellent games in Osler in the 2015 CVAC Jr A Basketball Championships. The Wolverines defeated a stubborn Dalmeny Cougar team with a 56-47 win for the second hard fought game in two weeks. The boys advanced to the CVAC Championship final with the hometown favorites Osler Monarchs. The team played well although the Monarchs led for much of the game the Wolverines clawed back. Despite a desperate press attempt in the final minutes the team came up short 34-43 to finish the season in second place to the more experienced Monarchs. The big bonus for Wolverine Basketball however is both of these teams graduate players to the Warman High Senior boys team for next season as this season’s top two teams will become team mates wearing Wolverine colors.

This year’s graduating Grade 9 players included Elijah Froese, Lachlan Horsley, Parker Noln-Ens, Lane Lockhart, Thomas Beynon, Tesute Killoh, Zach Johnson, and Andrew Bobyrk. Returning Grade 8 players include Jared Ens, Andrew Konanz,

Bruins hope to win provincial series in Wilkie

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Delisle Bruins goaltender Stephan Norris stood on his head during their second round provincial match-up against the Wilkie Outlaws, February 21 in Delisle but unfortunately it wasn’t enough in the 4-2 loss.

The Bruins faced Macklin in their first round, lost 4-2 in the opening game, but came back to win their second game 5-2 and the series with 7 to 6 advantage in total goals scored.

In their second round game Wilkie’s tough back checking, suffocating defence and speed made it tough for the Bruins to break into their neutral zone to create scoring opportunities.

In the first period Wilkie’s Will Rathje and Derek Keller lit the lamp on strong wrist shots from the wing, followed by Barrett Penner who scored the lone goal in the second period giving Wilkie a 3-0 lead after two periods.

Penner added to that score with his second of the night just under 14 minutes into the third period to put the game out of reach for Delisle.

However in the dying minutes of the third period, the Bruins sent a strong message

that they were not going down without a fight when at 1:25 in the final frame Chad Laing and Dan Hounjet from behind the net set up Kevin Mryglod who was parked to the left of Jared Herle who then lifted the puck upstairs on Herle to break the shutout.

Seconds later with only 54 left on the clock Chad Laing on an odd man rush placed the puck through the five hole on Herle to bring the score within two goals.

The unfortunate thing was there was just not enough time on the clock to mount a comeback.

Bruins head coach Jimmy Climenhaga said Wilkie are a tough team to play against.

“They are a very good pressure team and they fill their lanes really well. We have been utilizing the up the middle pass to get to the other end and it has been working pretty good in league but they clogged up the middle of the ice really well,” said Climenhaga.

“We had an outstanding effort by our goaltender. I don’t think the result on the scoreboard is indicative of the amount of shots he faced in the game,” said Climenhaga Climenhaga praised the two

late goals by Laing and Hounjet to get the Bruins back into the game.

Wilkie knocked the Bruins out of the provincial playoffs last year with a 5-2 win in Delisle and a 2-1 loss at home.

Wilkie won the series with the most goals scored in two games.

Climenhaga said he knows the Bruins can beat Wilkie in their rink but they have to capitalize on their scoring opportunities.

The Bruins will take on Wilkie in their rink February 28.

In league play, the Bruins defeated Dinsmore/Lucky Lake Tornados and will face the Rosetown Redwings this week.

During the regular season the Redwings went 20W1L which will present a tough challenge for the Bruins.

“We will be in tough, but we usually play them tough and have good games with them,” said Climenhaga. “We have had a good rivalry over the years against the Redwings since my playing career with the Bruins ended. Rosetown has put a lot of money into their team and attracted some good quality players so I think our guys relish the challenge.”

Vanscoy family setting the bar high at high school rodeos

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Dallyn, Fayth and Rybecca Panchuk hold the Montana Silver Trophy spurs they all won for a fast timed round at the Canadian High School Finals Rodeo in Nanton, Alberta.

When it comes to high school rodeos in Saskatchewan and across Canada, Panchuk is quickly becoming a well known name.

The Panchuk siblings Rybecca (18), Fayth (16) and Dallen (13) who live on an acreage near Vanscoy have been riding horses since they were five years old. Since their involvement on the rodeo circuit they have collected 70 buckles between them, won a few saddles and earned $40,000 in prize money.

In 2014 Fayth and her sister Rybecca finished in the top two overall spots for break away roping while at junior high school rodeo level Dallyn finished second in breakaway, goat tying and earned first spot in chute dogging, ribbon roping and team roping events.

Participants who finish in the top four spots earn a trip to the Canadian High School Finals Rodeo event.

Rodeo Fayth finished first overall while Dallyn and Rybecca finished third in their events.

The rodeo that gained Rybecca the most attention came at the Canadian Western Agribition in Regina where she roped a break away time of 2.2.

The best time was formally 2.4, which father Marcel Panchuk, said may have gained her attention from the University of Great Falls, Montana who offered Rybecca a scholarship.

The fortunate thing for Rybecca is that university was a school she wanted to attend, but she is still weighing her options.

“I haven’t settled all the details for it yet. It is a school I was looking into and it is my favourite one. I am still talking to other schools. It is not a done deal,” said Panchuk.

For Rybecca who also team ropes with her sister Fayth said being able to participate in a sport she loves along with her family is the best thing. Its a way of life.

“It is not as fun to go riding

or practicing by yourself but if I got my sister, brother or my mom or my dad it is more fun.

It becomes a family thing every weekend,” said Panchuk.

The desire to become one of the best in the world at their sport is still a reachable accomplishment for the Panchuk’s.

In May the Panchuk’s plan on qualifying for the National Junior and High School Finals Rodeos, which will take place in July in Wyoming. Rybecca says she likes their chances.

“Me and my sister are sitting first and second in breakaway right now so we are en route to making it,” said Panchuk Marcel said he is pretty proud of everything his kids accomplishments in the sport.

“I love to rope and I am proud of the kids for doing good, but it is all about work ethic. They rope four or five nights a week and usually go to rodeos on weekends. Everyone gets the opportunity so I’m glad that they work hard to do something they love to do.”

Environmental Society outlines concerns about Fortune Minerals project to RM council

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Saskatoon Environmental Society (SES) asked the RM of Corman Park Council if the potential short term benefits are more important than the long term risks to the citizens of Corman Park and surrounding communities concerning the development of the controversial Fortune Minerals development near Langham.

No decision has been made yet by Corman Park to approve the Fortune Minerals development, but the SES delegation to the RM of Corman Park Council, February 17 was more of a reminder and an expansion on their concerns first addressed when Fortune Minerals environmental assessment was approved by the province.

SES board member Ann Coxworth made the presentation during the council meeting with members David Hendry and SES Director of Environmental Policies Peter Prebble also present.

Coxworth said during her presentation that she understood the challenges council encounters when trying to decide on the best options for its residents.

She also said she understood the benefit of the development to the RM in terms of jobs and an increased tax base, but any development that has the potential of causing serious degradation to the air, soil, or water is a serious concern.

In the projected 18 year life span of the development it is projected that Fortune Minerals will produce 2,800,000 tonnes of toxic waste, which contains 7 per cent arsenic.

Coxworth broke her presentation down into sections to fur-

ther explain her concerns arsenic waste will affect the air, soil, water and the economy in areas such as Warman, Osler, Dalmeny and Martensville and surrounding communities.

AIR

Coxworth said throughout the development Fortune Minerals will have one of their storage waste cells open to the air, which she said could be a big problem if prevailing winds carry arsenic dust off site.

“The impact of this threat from prevailing westerly winds is likely to have negative impacts on the air quality of the growing populations to the east of the site in Dalmeny, Martensville, Osler, Warman, Aberdeen and possibly many areas of Saskatoon.”

SOIL

Prevailing winds carrying arsenic residue could also affect plant life by leaving arsenic residue on crops, vegetables and fruit and effect livestock, said Coxworth.

One area of concern that Coxworth said has not been provided by Fortune Minerals has been their decommissioning plan when the plant ends its useful life.

“A common method of dealing with hazardous wastes have been using pit liners and a clay cap to cover the waste,” said Coxworth. “This approach has often been shown to eventually fail over time, especially in areas which have had flood and drought cycles combined with freeze-thaw cycles.”

WATER

In terms of surface water, heavy rain combined with spring runoff would be impossible to clean up if there was

flooding or a leak, said Coxworth.

The issue that has received the loudest opposition, especially from Langham residents, has been the act of piping arsenic wastewater underground into subsurface drainage formations that feed the Dalmeny Aquifer, a primary source of drinking water for cities and towns northwest of Saskatoon.

ECONOMY

In terms of the economy, Coxworth said the risks to the soil, air and water will also be felt by future development.

“The presence of an industry that threatens to contaminate the land, the air and the water can certainly be expected to lower property values and to make the area less attractive for residential development,” said Coxworth.

Over the years Coxworth said that SES has reviewed many assessment studies as a public service and their usual approach is to make recommendations for improving a project.

Coxworth said she expected a similar approach with this development, but the further SES got into the process the more and more concerned they became.

“With the many gaps and unanswered questions in the Environmental assessment study we felt we had no option but to oppose its approval,” said Coxworth.

Division 1 Councilor John Germs asked Coxworth how an environmental assessment with so many flaws got approved by the province.

“I am not a scientist. I’m a farmer. But if everyone says [this development is a bad idea] and they pass the regulatory or whatever that process is there

a disconnect. What am I missing?” said Germs.

Coxworth said there is a disconnect and she was surprised that the environmental assessment got the go-ahead.

Prebble said the assessment had over 200 submissions by people who were against the project. He said in most cases when there is a lot of opposition a rigorous process to approve usually follows, which did not happen in this case.

David Hendry said in his research the type of arsenic that will be present in the waste from the Fortune Minerals plant is one of its most dangerous forms.

“It has been established that arsenic increases the frequency of lung and bladder cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other things. Arsenic affects the fundamental mechanisms in a cell. It attacks chromosomes and deteriorates the immune system. It is a general weakening of living cells,” said Hendry.

“A fatal dose is 100 mg to humans. That is 1/50th of a teaspoon that is a fatal dose. And I’m sorry but the proposal is talking about 7 per cent of a very large quantity. This is a very dangerous substance.”

Ken Crush, a Langham resident who resides close to where this proposed plant will be located sat in on the February 17 RM of Corman Park council meeting.

Crush said this development should not only be a concern for people who live around it.

“I am not sure if all Saskatoon residents really know or are aware of some of the things that could affect them,” said Crush. “If contaminants were to be released they would be affected and they haven’t picked up on that. Everyone will be affected right from that mine south to Saskatoon.”

Crush said with future city expansion, residents are going to have this horrendous amount of contamination on

the edge of the city where people live, which he said should not happen.

In terms of the flaws in Fortune Minerals environmental assessment, Crush said the forecasting methods used by the company are questionable because a lot of their conclusions are based on computer simulations.

“The people who Fortune Minerals had do their environmental assessment quite frequently state in the assessment that their conclusions are only as good as what the computer can come up with,” said Crush.

Crush said it was almost like the company was trying not to be responsible for misinformation but they were sort of inferring it.

Judy Harwood, Reeve of the RM of Corman Park said she has heard nothing from Fortune Minerals on their proposed development and said at this point it is just a waiting game to see what transpires.

Levy aimed at fixing hamlet of Merrill Hills roads The document also provided information going back ten years on correspondence between the hamlet board and RM when their roads started to prematurely break down.

In most cases a chip seal road is supposed to last about ten years, with regular maintenance, said RM of Corman Park Director of Public Works Joe Stewart.

With the Hamlet of Merrill Hills Board’s request for the RM to return their roads to a chip seal standard based on their original 2003 agreement many of its members and residents feel the RM should field the majority of the cost.

The current cost to the Hamlet is $573,392 for the access road, plus the internal road, while the RM cost share is $169,411.

The hamlet has the ability to contribute $20,000 per year into the project, which is the net cash flow after all other expenses including plowing, mowing, road patching and signs.

The total expected costs for the ten year project would be $667,120 with the RM contribution being $467,120.

The big question debated throughout the council discussion is how responsible the RM is for the premature breakdown of the road and should they pay a larger portion of the cost share to fix it.

Stewart doesn’t think so.

“I believe those were the specifications used in 2002-03.

There were roads in the RM that were built the same way,” said Stewart.

Division 2 Councilor Michelle Chuhaniuk asked why the roads in the Hamlet of Casa Rio, which are several years older than Merrill Hills, stood up to the wear and tear better using the same specs.

Stewart said the soil was a little more sandy and stood up

better than the clay, but he said a big reason why Casa Rio’s road is in better shape is because the hamlet had a better preventative maintenance plan in place.

Division 3 Councilor David Fox added that it is really hard to compare chip seal roads built to the same standard in one part of the RM to the other.

The problem with coming up with a funding model is timing, which Division 4 Councilor Randy Rooke explained to council when Reeve Judy Harwood asked how many times Merrill Hills residents asked the RM for assistance to help repair their roads.

“They were in constantly and were promised things would be done. One of the actual roads was zippered in 2008 because it was in such bad shape with promises that the rest would be done and nothing ever happened,” said Rooke.

“There were floods from 2008 to 2010 and it was deferred all those years so they have been very patient.”

In order to find a funding model that would please both the RM and Hamlet of Merrill Hills, Rooke devised a proposal that would see the total cost of the project amount to $742,803.

Merrill Hills would contribute $300,000, which broken down would be $20,000 over a 15 year span. Rooke said the RM cost would be $442,803.

Rooke also suggested that the project be split over two years based on the Hamlet Board’s request to have the main road fixed when construction season opens this spring.

Stewart cautioned council about multi-year chip seal projects. In Merrill Hills case that would include paving 2500 meters of internal roads and 1300 meters of an access road.

“You have to go in there with a few thousand yards of base,

heavy equipment and haul quite a bit,” said Stewart. “One of the other options would be that these folks would have to lose their cul-de-sac because that is where we would have to stockpile some material,” For a project like this Stewart said the access road and internal roads would have to be done at the same time, but to keep in mind that an access road might have to be constructed to get the equipment in and out.

A big problem on a lot of rural roads is the wear and tear caused by garbage trucks, specifically Loraas garbage trucks, whose low axle radius has contributed to damage on chip seal roads.

Division 8 Councilor Wendy Trask questioned Merrill Hills residents during the January 19 RM of Corman Park council meeting if they would mind bringing their garbage to the curb to save the trucks from entering the cul-de-sac to pick up the garbage for individual residences.

It was a suggestion that was turned down by the delegation.

“I do have a concern over the years, not just this but other multi-parcels, and I will always be against putting money towards a road that Loraas is going to be loading people’s garbage,” said Trask. “It has become a huge issue and expense to the RM so people can have the convenience of not taking garbage out to the dump.”

Fox said he was sympathetic to Merrill Hills residents’ concerns and said that hamlets sometimes asks the RM to impose an annual levy to help hamlets pay for maintenance upgrades for infrastructure projects.

“It is done as a matter of course. They just accept responsibility and take responsibility for their internal infra-

structure,” said Fox It is an option Corman Park devised to make the project more economically feasible for the Hamlet of Merrill Hills over a ten year term.

Council had four different options to choose from. Fox proposed a motion for council to consider a $1,000 annual levy, which would give the hamlet a pot of $350,000 to put towards infrastructure costs by year 10 of the road with the cost to the RM amounting to $117,120.

That recommendation was turned down.

Owners within the Hamlet of Merrill Hills pay an average of approximately $3,500 in property taxes annually, of which around $1,750 is Municipal, with the remainder allocated to the school division.

After further discussion it looked as if council was at a stalemate as to what the best solution for Merrill Hills should be.

Harwood asked Councilor Rooke if the hamlet would be open to other funding models, to which Rooke very quickly answered no. He said a levy would not work because six of the hamlet’s 35 lots are vacant and are owned by developers.

In the end council did pass a resolution put forward by Trask to introduce an annual lot levy of $1,300, which would give the hamlet $455,000 after year ten. The cost to the RM would be $12,120.

The recommendation will be taken to the Hamlet Board for approval. Rooke said the Hamlet Board may seek legal action to resolve the issue.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2015

Saskatchewan provincial parks announce dates for campsite reservation launch Campers who want to spend their summer vacations in Saskatchewan’s provincial parks will be able to start making campsite reservations on Monday, March 2, 2015.

“Camping in Saskatchewan Provincial Parks is exceptionally popular,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “In fact, it is so popular that in past years the campsite reservation system hasn’t been able to keep up with demand.

The experience of our visitors is very important to us, and we have made some important changes to our reservation system this year.”

As in previous years, the launch will be staggered, with different parks becoming available on different days. This year, however, the launch will be spread out over more days than in the past. This was a suggestion made by campers, and this change will help to reduce the demands placed on the system.

The schedule for reservation launch is as follows: Monday, March 2: Blackstrap, Pike Lake Tuesday, March 3: Buffalo Pound, Danielson, Douglas Wednesday, March 4: Echo

RCMP asking kids to ‘name that puppy’ The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) needs help in naming a handful of their newest (and cutest) recruits!

The Police Dog Service Training Centre (PDSTC) in Innisfail, Alberta is asking young Canadians to suggest names for 10 German Shepherd puppies recently born at the Centre. Children are encouraged to be original and imaginative in finding names that will serve these puppies well in their careers with Canada’s national police force. When thinking of names, it is important to keep in mind that these are working police dogs, notpets.

The 10 children whose names are selected will each receive a laminated 8×10-inch photo of the pup they name, a plush dog named Justice and an RCMP cap.

Contest rules are simple: Contestants can suggest only one name (one entry per person).

The name may be for a male or a female pup.

The name must start with the letter “H”.

The name must have no more than nine (9) letters.

The name must be one or two syllables.

Contestants must live in Canada and be 16 years old or younger.

There are two ways to enter: Enter online: www.rcmp-grc.ca/depot/pdstccdcp/name-the-puppy-nommele-chiot-eng.htm Send a letter to the following address. Be sure to print the child’s name, age, address, telephone number and the suggested name for a puppy. Attn: “Name the Puppy Contest” Police Dog Service Training CentreBox 6120, Innisfail, AB T4G 1S8 We love to receive drawings and paintings! If submitting by mail or email, children are invited to get creative with their entries.

Although there can be only 10 winners, names not selected for the contest will be considered for other puppies born during the year.

The deadline for entries is March 3, 2015. Contest winners and prizes will be announced on April 8, 2015.

Valley, Rowan’s Ravine Thursday, March 5: Duck Mountain, Good Spirit Lake, Greenwater Lake Friday, March 6: Crooked Lake, Moose Mountain Saturday, March 7: Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park Sunday, March 8: The Battlefords, Saskatchewan Landing Monday, March 9: Meadow Lake Tuesday, March 10: Bronson Forest Recreation Site, Chitek Lake Recreation Site, Lac La Ronge, Makwa Lake

Wednesday, March 11: Candle Lake, Great Blue Heron, Narrow Hills In addition to spreading the launch over more days this year, a queuing system will also be implemented. This system will enable SaskParks to manage how many people are accessing the reservation system at once.

At peak volume times, visitors attempting to access the reservation website may find themselves redirected to the queue, waiting to enter the reservation website. This process

will help to both ensure the stability of the reservation system and that demand is met.

As in past years, reservations will open at 7:00 a.m. each day. The queuing system will begin each morning at 6:40. As customers attempt to access the reservation website between 6:40 and 7:00 am, they will be moved to the queue and assigned a random number. Beginning at 7:00 am, customers will be redirected to the reservation website based on their unique number. As new people attempt to access the reserva-

15024SMF00

tion website, they will receive a place in line.

In the fall of 2014, the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport asked its visitors whether or not they supported the idea of allowing Saskatchewan residents an opportunity to book their nightly camping in advance of people from other provinces or countries. A large number of responses were received and the majority of people were not in favour of a “Saskatchewan First” system. The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport is appreciative of the op-

portunity to engage with its visitors in this way and thanks everyone who took the time to respond.

The nightly reservation system will continue to allow all campers the same opportunity to book their Saskatchewan vacation. Campers who are interested in the opportunity to have a seasonal campsite in one of the provincial parks had until Thursday, January 29 at midnight to submit their applications online. The draw to award the campsites was made on Monday, February 2.

The Model Train Show is an annual event by the Prairie Rail Workshop. Originally formed in 1981, the Prairie Rail Workshop is devoted to promoting the hobby of scale-model railroading. In addition to the traditional model trains, some of which date back to the 1930s, many younger members use Lego to build their own trains and layouts.
