TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall shake hands at the conclusion of a ceremony on Thursday, March 12 announcing federal funding to twin Highway 7 from Saskatoon to Delisle

Feds, province share cost of twinning Highway 7

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

One of Saskatchewan’s busiest stretches of highway is being twinned.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall jointly announced in Saskatoon on Thursday, March 12 that their governments would contribute roughly $32 million each to twin 25 kilometers of Highway 7 from Saskatoon to Delisle.

The money for the project is coming through the New Building Canada Fund.

Harper said the highway upgrade is part of an overall national infrastructure develop-

ment plan.

“This is part of the largest infrastructure investment in Canadian history,” said Harper.

Wall said Highway 7 is an important route that connects Saskatoon to growing communities like Delisle, Rosetown and Kindersley, as well as to export markets. But in addition to economic benefits, safety concerns will also be alleviated.

“Twinning will address the safety and congestion concerns that are a result of Saskatchewan’s remarkable economic and population growth,” said Wall. “I drive that highway a lot, and my wife Tammy and I

have two kids that attend university in Saskatoon. So to us as parents, safety is the most important concern.”

The project is expected to begin this spring, with grading work between Saskatoon to just east of Vanscoy. The project is expected to be complete in the fall of 2018.

Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said in a prepared statement that the twinning project will complement the four sets of passing lanes on Highway 7 that are being built between Saskatoon and Rosetown. She noted that the stretch of highway between Saskatoon and Delisle has very high traffic volumes.

“Traffic on this part of Highway 7 has increased by 50 per cent in the last decade,” said Heppner. “This project is an example of our government’s commitment to ensuring growth improves everyone’s quality of life.”

She pointed out the province is also working to twin Highway 16 from Saskatoon to Clavet.

Kelly Block, MP for Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar, said the project will benefit residents of Saskatoon, Vanscoy, Delisle and other communities.

“The twinning contributes to the local economy and provides a safe, easy route to and from Saskatoon,” said Block.

At a press conference following the formal announcement, Wall said consultations with residents and elected officials with the Village of Vanscoy are currently underway to determine the most viable route for the new twinned highway a round the village.

“We’re working really hard to address their concerns,” said Wall. “There are always concerns when it comes to big projects, but if we consult we can solve a lot of these concerns.

Maybe not one hundred per cent of them, but most of them.

We want to get to the point where the route will be as accepted as possible by all the stakeholders involved.”

Prairie Spirit School Division warns of $6 million shortfall Faced with the prospect of a $6 million shortfall in its 201516 budget, the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) is taking its case directly to the public in the hopes of putting pressure on the provincial government.

In a mass e-mail letter to 10,000 parents of students throughout the division on Monday, March 16, PSSD officials say the expected funding

shortfall will have a negative impact on the school division’s operations and capital needs.

The PSSD letter notes that since a new funding model was adopted by the provincial government in 2012, PSSD has not been funded “equitably” compared to other school divisions.

“Prairie Spirit is funded significantly lower per student when compared to similar school divisions,” states the let-

ter. “We will have a $6 million shortfall in 2015-16 as a result of the funding model.”

The letter states that PSSD’s funding per student has decreased each year since 2012 because of the new funding model. Compared to the highest-funded school division in the province, which is similar to PSSD, the local school division received “$4,000 less per student” and “$40 million less

overall for the school division.”

The PSSD letter said school division officials have asked the Minister of Education and local MLAs on numerous occasions to provide additional funding until the funding model is full implemented and refined. It has also requested additional grants and project funding.

To make up for repeated annual shortfalls, the PSSD has

cut $2 million from its operating budget over the past two years and dipped into its limited reserve funds to the tune of $3 million to balance its 2014-15 budget, according to the letter.

The 2014/15 school year marks the ninth consecutive year of enrollment growth in Prairie Spirit School Division, CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Funding shortfall concerns PSSD

The twinning of Highway 7 from Saskatoon to Delisle is good news, according to Delisle Mayor Dave Anderchek,.

“It’s definitely going to have a positive impact in a lot of ways,” said Andercheck in an interview on Thursday, March 12. “From a safety perspective, it should help a lot.”

The federal and provincial governments announced earlier that day they were each contributing $32 million to twin 25 kilometers of Highway 7 from Saskatoon to Delisle. The project is slated to begin this spring and be completed by the fall of 2018.

Anderchek said the announcement has been a long time coming, and uncertainty over the future of Highway 7 had trickled down to create questions over the town’s future plans.

“This announcement really helps our community move forward in our planning and development,” said Anderchek. “It removes the uncertainty about what was happening with the highway. Now we know for certain what is in the works, and we can move ahead accordingly.”

The town has plans to expand residential and business development on the north side of the highway, said Anderchek.

But more importantly, he noted, is the fact that the highway will be safer. A twinned highway will make Delisle a more attractive place for people who are looking to make a home in a community outside Saskatoon.

“Traffic has increased substantially on Highway 7 over the past decade, and it will only increase further,” said Anderchek. “As a community, we’re looking forward to seeing this project completed.

We’ve heard a lot of rumours for many years about possible twinning, and it’s nice to see that it will finally become a reality.”

Oil price drop spells lower municipal revenue: Premier

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The drop in world oil prices will likely translate into lower revenue transfers to rural municipalities, according to Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall.

In his address to the Saskatchewan Rural Municipalities Association (SARM) convention in Saskatoon last week, Wall said impact could be significant.

“Revenue declines of this magnitude won’t bring operations in government to a halt,” said Wall. “But it is serious and it needs to be addressed and it will be addressed.”

Municipalities across the province depend on the one percent of Provincial Sales Tax (PST) they receive from provincial oil royalties to pay for infrastructure maintenance and

upgrades.

With the provincial budget announcement just days away, Wall stressed that it will be a balanced budget despite the shortcoming.

Wall said since his government has been in office, revenue sharing has increased by 100 percent and government revenue has increased by 20 percent.

He said changing the revenue-sharing formula is last on his government’s agenda, but he also reminded SARM delegates that the province has been through this kind of thing before. In 2009, the price of oil was low, he said, adding that potash sales were also in a deep slump at that time, but the province pulled though.

A big part of the province’s return to prosperity has been keeping the budgets balanced

during periods of unprecedented growth. In this year’s budget Wall hopes to introduce new growth tax incentives and create new jobs in manufacturing and processing. He also wants to encourage more corporate head office presence in the province.

Ray Orb, acting president of SARM said in his speech at the convention that he plans on holding the provincial government to its commitment.

“Municipal Revenue Sharing is an important funding source for all municipalities across the province. RMs and local taxpayers have taken on a growing responsibility to subsidize the countries exports,” said Orb. “So additional funding mechanisms must be created with the recognition that all taxpayers in the province are greatly benefitting from resource develop-

ment that occurs in rural areas.”

A couple of ways SARM has asked the province to increase funding to the RM is through a P3 program, with funding earmarked for rural based infrastructure projects, said Orb. Other initiatives include a public-industry partnership program. Orb said a separate program like this would allow funding available for the Municipal Roads for the Economy Program. He said the funding could also be utilized for other infrastructure projects deemed important by the MREP committee.

Lastly Orb asked the province to consider continuing its $25.5 million investment in MREP for 2015 and to provide MREP with a two-year funding commitment to allow qualifying RMs to acquire necessary permits.

Continued from page 3

Funding shortfall concerns Prairie Spirit School Division with an enrollment of over 10,300 students in Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12.

For 2014-15, Prairie Spirit School Division reported an increase in student enrollment of nearly 300 students over last year. As of September 30, 2014, the school division has 10,312 students in its 45 schools in 28 communities.

Since the school division was formed through the amalgamation of three school divisions in 2006, student enrollment has increased by 16%, an increase of approximately 1400 students.

The greatest increases in student enrollment are in schools in the cities of Warman and Martensville. Despite this steady growth, PSSD officials say the funding Prairie Spir-

it receives per student has been declining every year since 2012.

While the PSSD has among the highest graduation rates in the province, it will be a challenge to maintain that standing if there are fewer staff working directly with students, and less funds to support student programs, extra-curricular activities, and building and maintenance needs.

The PSSD states that its expenses are similar or slightly lower than the average for school divisions in the province.

The PSSD concludes its letter by asking parents to contact Premier Brad Wall, Education Minister Don Morgan and MLAs within the PSSD area.

Langham facilities get huge funding boost from RM

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Recreational opportunities for residents of Langham and area will be improved following the RM of Corman Park’s approval of a funding request for $84,652,00.

Council granted the request during a meeting on Monday, March 2.

The funding comes out of Corman Park’s Municipal Reserve Fund. A total of $62,000 will go toward renovations for the Langham Curling Club and $20,000 will go to the Centennial Arena.

On February 2, Langham Curling Club President Maureen Kinch wrote a letter to the RM requesting the funds.

In January 2012 the curling rink was closed due to excessive snow load and was later demolished in April of that year.

The new building was recently rebuilt using insurance funds and is currently host-

ing an official grand opening event called the Icebreaker Open Bonspiel this week. The RM funding will go towards projects designed to make the new building energy-efficient, said Kinch.

During the RM Council Meeting Division 3 Councilor David Fox questioned the amount of funding going to both Langham facilities.

But Division 8 Councilor Wendy Trask said Langham serves a large rural area. She said most residents would rather use facilities close to home than travel elsewhere.

Funding for the curling rink will go towards expanding the storage area for their icemaker, said Kinch.

Right now the icemaker’s equipment is stored in a 16x12 room.

Kinch said the funding will allow for the mechanical room to double in size and allow all ice making equipment to be stored in one room.

Other projects that will be

covered by the funding include the purchase of new chairs and tables for the lobby, lounge and environmentally friendly ice decals for the rink’s three sheets of ice. This will cut down the time required for painting the ice in half.

Kinch said she was shocked to receive all of the funding dollars she requested.

“I was away for a few days when I heard through the grapevine that we were approved fully for it. It is huge because it cuts down on what we have to fundraise for,” said Kinch. “We weren’t too sure how we were going to build that storage for our ice maker.

For the ice surface we would have had to go with paint.”

The skating rink’s portion will go towards renovations of the arena kitchen by replacing cabinets, installing new flooring, replacing the ceiling, installing a fire wall and two energy-efficient refrigeration units, a range hood and ventilation system.

hot off the press The annual guide to the City of Warman was distributed to residents last week. The 160-page handbook, published by the city, includes a business directory and city map, as well as numerous articles about the history of the community, cityowned facilities and amenities, volunteer organizations and upcoming events throughout the year. Phone numbers for city facilities are also included. This year’s publication, unlike past editions, does not have a phone directory of residents.

With more people making the switch over to cell phones and away from land lines, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain an updated list. In addition, the growth of the city population also created challenges in compiling information.

The guide is available at Warman City Hall.

City of Warman Official Community Plan provides window on future Estimates of projected population range between 20,000 and 65,000 by 2034

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The City of Warman laid out its vision for the future on Thursday, March 12.

Roughly 200 people turned out for two open house sessions at the Brian King Centre in Warman to view the city’s proposed Official Community Plan (OCP).

The latest OCP is designed to update the city’s current document, adopted in 2006. It spells out the city’s population growth projections over the next twenty years, and maps out future land use plans, including development proposals for residential neighbourhoods, infrastructure and servicing.

PROJECTED POPULATION

Warman Councilor Kendall Shram said many residents were surprised at the population growth projections outlined in the OCP, which varied from a modest 20,000 residents by 2034 (based on an annual increase of 4 per cent) to a high of

65,000 residents by 2034 (based on an annual increase of 10 per cent).

But, Shram noted, the anticipated increases are based on current population growth trends. He said regardless of how fast that growth occurs, the city is aiming to have infrastructure and services in place to meet the needs of the growing population.

Warman has a present population of 9,523 citizens, according to statistics from the provincial Ministry of Health.

Shram said the city is looking to gather input and feedback from residents on all aspects of the OCP. A survey, available online and also in hard copies from Warman City Hall, is designed to solicit residents opinions.

“Quite frankly, in order to have a successful community, it’s essential to have people’s input,” said Shram. “Through this survey, we hope to get grassroots involvement from residents in the plan.”

Dmytryshyn said one of the big projects that has attracted many people’s attention is the skate park, set to begin construction this spring in Prairie Oasis Park.

“I’ve had a lot of people say they’re quite excited about it,” said Dmytryshyn. “Many young families are really looking forward to having that facility in place this year.”

Warman Junior Planner Chris Hilash said the OCP lays out the goals and objectives of the community. He noted the city has recently annexed a considerable quantity of land sufficient to accommodate the projected growth outlined in the new OCP.

WHAT’S COMING UP?

Warman Manager of Planning and Development Brad Toth said the majority of people attending the open house were looking for information on the type of commercial services and recreation facilities likely to come to Warman in the next few years.

“There are also questions about the new neighbourhoods and how quickly Warman may grow,” said Toth. “Some of these population projections may seem pretty ambitious, but the timeline is not set in stone.

The population figures are tied to specific infrastructure milestones. What we are trying to do is ensure we have sufficient capacity at any given time to supply services to all the residents and businesses in the community.”

Toth pointed out that the last couple of phases of the Legends neighbourhood are slated to be completed in the near future.

After that, the Traditions and Southlands neighbourhoods will be developed.

Toth said the current OCP was designed in 2006 as a 20 to 30 year plan, but faster-than-anticipated growth overtook the projections for land use, infrastructure and development.

“It definitely needs to be updated,” said Toth. “We’ve grown a lot faster than anybody could have foreseen back then.”

He noted that after public input has been incorporated into the new OCP, a set of bylaws, one for the OCP itself and one for zoning, will be brought before city council for first reading. That is likely to happen by the end of March. The bylaw

Warman resident Pat Reid and Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence view future development plans for the city at an open house on Thursday, March 12

Partnership for Growth (P4G) Project Manager Christine Gutmann says growth plans for municipalities within the region are designed to promote shared goals and objectives will then be advertised in the local newspaper for four weeks before it comes back to council for second and third readings.

Toth said the new OCP will need to be reviewed in five years to keep it current.

REGIONAL CONTEXT

While the OCP is specific to Warman, the growth plans outlined in the document reflect the larger growth strategy for the region as a whole, according to Christine Gutmann, Project Manager for the Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) Regional Plan.

“Warman is looking specifically at development within its own boundaries,” said Gutmann in an interview at the open house. “The role of the

P4G is to facilitate compatible development so that the different municipalities are all working together toward shared goals and objectives.

“The P4G is all about coordinating everyone’s initiatives so that they’re not working at cross-purposes,” she added.

“There are always going to be areas of conflict, but we can work through that by negotiation and communication. It’s important to have everyone at the table.”

Gutmann said the P4G is currently working on an interim development strategy which will be released in the near future. “This strategy identifies projects that are ongoing right now and which everyone agrees make sense,” she said.

Gutmann said the P4G Regional Plan is encouraging public input, and will be utilizing a number of avenues to convey information to residents of the region.

‘We started this project in November and we’ve made good progress over the winter,” she said. “We’re starting now to come out and show people what’s been accomplished so far, and to gather feedback and input.

“In the next couple of weeks we’ll have our vision and our principles and other information out before the public. This information will provide a lot of context for people going forward.”

Warman History Committee seeks space in city-owned building for permanent museum

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman History Committee is hoping to find a permanent location to house its collection of artifacts, documents and other materials.

Sharon Martens, a former Warman city councilor and a spokesperson for the committee, said there is a danger of losing much of the community’s local history as the population ages.

“It’s too easy to let things like this slip away, and we often don’t recognize their value,” said Martens in an interview.

“That’s why it’s important to have stuff out there for people to see where we came from and how this community got started. It’s very interesting to learn about our roots.”

The committee is hoping to move into the former Warman Library location in a civicowned building on Klassen Street. The committee had displays in a meeting room in that building for several years.

The committee asked Warman City Council for permission to move into that building, which is currently vacant, in 2013, shortly after the library relocated to its present location in the Warman Community Middle School (WCMS). At that time, the city was unsure about future uses for the building. A follow-up letter was sent by the committee to city council in November, 2014, repeat-

ing the request to use the building. The committee has not yet received a definite answer from the city.

“Our proposal was that we could use the old library space, and the city would still be able to rent out the meeting room space, which has a separate entrance,” said Martens in an interview. “We realize it represents a cost to the city, but right now it’s basically empty and there are still costs associated with that.”

The history committee currently has two permanent display cabinets mounted to a wall in the Legends Centre, and volunteers change the displays on a seasonal basis.

Martens said the committee wants to continue to use the display cabinets at the Legends Centre because of the amount of pedestrian traffic through the building and the high profile the displays give to Warman’s history.

But she said the majority of artifacts and documents donated to the committee are in storage in private homes, and added there needs to be a long-term plan to preserve the community’s history.

“We feel a space like this is a good place to start,” she said, adding a small museum is needed in Warman.

“The history committee has the potential to increase the umber of artifacts available through donations from individuals as well as surrounding

communities,” she said. “The town of Osler has recently offered us a substantial number of great articles. The challenge remains to find a venue to display these interesting windows of our past.”

The committee also believes that local history can inspire elementary and high school students to research their own community and family roots.

The committee has donated an antique manual typewriter to the Warman Library and Warman Community Middle School. A custom-built cabinet

by Kevin Davis, who also built the cabinets in the Legends Centre, will house the typewriter.

Martens said the typewriter not only shows kids the technology of the past, it also provides a visible link with current electronic computers.

“Before there were computers people typed their manuscripts with typewriters. The keyboard of a computer is exactly the same as the keyboard on the typewriter,” she said.

“When kids realize that, they want to find out how the technology changed over time.”

The history committee began shortly after Warman celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2006. Currently the committee consists of Martens, Shane Janswick and Lori Vellacott. Martens said anyone who wishes to help on the committee is welcome. They can contact her at 306-934-5914.

Canadians jet-setting despite sky-high household debt levels

By JEFF SCHWARTZ

Executive-Director, Consolidatd Credit Counseling Services of Canada

COMMENTARY

Even the frugal can fall. You might have an air-tight budget, immune to most impulses, but this time of year serves up one of the biggest tests: March Break.

Whether it’s pressure from your enthusiastic kids (who all seem to have a “lucky friend who’s going to Disney World again!”), or from within (it was a record-breaking winter, after all), many Canadians are feeling a tremendous urge to splurge on a getaway.

Last year, a CIBC poll showed that the average March Break traveller was planning on spending an average of $2328 on their getaway. That means a chunk of the money spent on March Break this year will wind up on credit cards.

“We all know that household debt is through the roof,” says Schwartz. “It’s a symptom of living beyond our means – people may not be able to afford a vacation but they’ll take one anyway and hope they can pay for it later.”

Despite the fact that half of Canadians are living paycheque-to-paycheque, they seem driven to get away from the slush and snow that has made them miserable over the winter months. Airports are expecting some of the busiest days of the year, as bound-and-determined Canadians take to the skies.

“I always like to stress the very simple test of assessing ‘wants’ versus ‘needs’,” adds Schwartz.

“A vacation very clearly falls into the ‘want’ category, but many are treating it like a’ need’ and are going into debt as a result.”

To make vacationing a little more financially attainable, Consolidated Credit reached out to some of Canada’s top financial bloggers and put together a series of tips and tricks that will easily bring down the cost of your trip, wherever you’re headed.

1. Consider connecting flights Connecting is tough, especially if your kids are young. However, it can shave tons of money off your airfare. Plus, if you can find a connecting flight out of a great destination, you can always push your connecting flight a day or two and see the sights while you’re there. Blogger Corinne McDermott from Have Baby, Will Travel has great tips on flying out of Buffalo, too.

2. Budget for indulgences, and bring that money in cash It’s inevitable that something will catch the kids’ eyes - or yours!

- so plan accordingly. Bring that money in cash, so that when it’s gone, it’s gone and you won’t overspend and come home to a big credit card statement.

3. Bring just the essentials Airlines are hiking their baggage fees like no tomorrow, so make sure to bring only the essentials and get the kids to do the same. Blogger Globetrotting Mama put together a great list of everything you can bring in a carry-on.

4. Use Your Points It really pays to save up your credit card’s travel points. Not only can they be applied to flights, but you can often use them for travel insurance and car rentals. Try a credit card comparison site to find a plan you like. The Calculated Traveller has a great guide on using credit cards to save.

5. Think local Everyone wants to head south - especially during a long winter like this one - but there’s tons of fun to be had close to home, too.

Use a service like Trekaroo to explore local, family-friendly options - get all the details at Gone With The Family.

More doctors isn’t the whole story Perhaps you live in one of the Saskatchewan communities fortunate enough to have recently received one of 20 new doctors that came to our province.

If you do, you’re likely to know about it already. News like that travels fast in smaller communities … although perhaps not quite as fast as it does through government communications that was rather intent last week on ensuring that everyone in the province knew about it.

And while many might not see much wrong with the Saskatchewan Party government doing this, it does speak to a problem of priorities.

Much to the amusement of newsrooms across the province last week, they were greeted Monday morning with a barrage of news releases on the doctors’ hiring.

It all started innocuously

enough with one government news release proudly announcing that 20 new doctors would be practising in Saskatchewan.

That first news release explained that the hirings were a result of the new Saskatchewan International Physician Practice Assessment (SIPPA) program, which has been rather effective in sorting through the ample red tape in the world of medical accreditation that sometimes makes it difficult for foreign doctors to practice here.

Again, there is nothing wrong with making the public aware of this program or its successes. The spoils of power mean that you get to use the resources of the taxpayers to toot your own horn a little.

The problem, however, is that that when you toot your own horn to excess, it isn’t just loud and obnoxious. Sometimes, it truly is an abuse of power. And at the very least, 10 separate news releases basically saying the same thing is excessive.

Yes, you read that correctly. The government issued ten news releases heralding the arrival of the doctors in every single health region in the

province that received at least one doctor.

Of course, new doctors in Arcola, Lloydminster, Swift Current, Porcupine Plain, Leader, Kamsack, Fort Qu’Appelle and Estevan are good news. But there happens to be a lot of doctors in this province. And doctors tend to come and go. For the provincial government to spend this much effort announcing the arrival of handful is a more than a little suspicious.

In fact, it’s quite suspicious, given all this came a week after the legislature saw about 70 protestors from Craik offering serious concerns that their doctor is being forced out of town by the Five Hills Health Region. The Craik protestors were joined by others as far away as Coronach and as close as Central Butte. This suggests perhaps the government isn’t quite telling the whole story when it comes to its success in finding rural doctors.

Moreover, the government has been under fire for a lot of other health issues.

First, there has been the money and resources spent on

“lean” training that has included sending regional and provincial health officials to the U.S. to tour an airbag factory in Utah.

And then there is the problem of seniors’ care that the government would have us believe is confined to a few nursing homes in the cities. Well, according to the Provincial Ombudsman Mary McFadyen, the complaints she is getting after being assigned to look into the matter are “widespread” across the province.

Finally, the Sask. Party government has most recently found itself under siege over the cost of ambulance fees that are much higher than other provinces and certainly much higher for rural people forced to pay more for mileage and for inter-hospital transfers.

Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit’s explanation that there have been other priorities is not good enough.

Delivering good health care to rural Saskatchewan requires more than tooting your own horn over the hiring of a few doctors.

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.

This new guide also contains the Varieties of Grain Crops insert for 2015 from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture. The insert represents an unbiased side by side comparison of crop varieties for four distinct growing regions of Saskatchewan.

Canola varieties are included in the Varieties of Grain Crops insert.

As well, more detailed information on canola varieties can be found within the section of the SaskSeed Guide entitled Canola Performance Trials 2014 Results.

The guide and this insert can be a valuable tool for producers deciding what to plant this spring. One advantage to using the guide, as opposed to just the varieties insert, is that the last 20 pages of the SaskSeed Guide contains contact information for pedigreed seed growers in Saskatchewan that can supply many of the varieties listed within the insert. If you didn’t receive the 2015 SaskSeed Guide it is available at the Saskatchewan Agriculture regional offices.

Another popular publication is the Guide to Crop Protection. The 2015 version is now available at regional offices as well as online at the Government of

Saskatchewan website www.agriculture.gov. sk.ca.

The guide contains a number of new products for seed treatments, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. There is also a new crop growth regulator found in the weed control section.

As usual there are a number of new concept herbicides that consist of reformulated or new combinations of existing active ingredients.

This is also becoming common practice with fungicides and seed treatments as resistance to individual active ingredients increases.

This publication is evolving every year and in an effort to reduce duplication the guide continues to list the growing number of generic formulations under the name of the active ingredient rather than the trade name.

To help applicators in this transition the original trade name of the product is listed as a false title with reference to the active ingredients page for a period of three years.

The Guide to Crop Protection is quite often an invaluable tool for weed, plant disease and insect control products.

In addition the guide contains information on proper tank mixing and cleaning, resistance management, field scouting, preharvest intervals, special weed problems and much more. An update to the 2015 Guide to Crop Protection can be found on the Government of Saskatchewan website on May 1, 2015. Hard copies of this update may be picked up at regional offices or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre in the spring.

BELIEVE IT?

How do Canadians know if it’s true (or not)?

They turn to the trusted source: Newspapers in print, online, tablet and phone.

And, research finds that they trust the ads there too – more than those in any other medium.

CAPACITY CROWD

Hundreds of people turned up for dinner and socializing at the Brian King Centre in Warman on Friday, March 13 for the annual Sask. Valley Food Grains Fundraiser Supper. Perogies, Mennonite sausage, salads and other delicious items highlighted the delicious menu. All money raised from the event is used to help eliminate global hunger through food assistance

projects that help people who are hungry because of crisis situations like war, droughts or floods as well as funding for agricultural initiatives and nutrition education projects that focus on vulnerable individuals such as expectant mothers and children under the age of five around the world.

Winter weights on highways slated to end in mid-March Weather permitting, winter weights were slated to remain in effect for much of central and northern Saskatchewan until March 15 when they were removed by legislation.

“At this time of year, we need to strike a balance between maximizing efficiency for shippers and protecting our highways from damage,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “Crews monitor road conditions regularly and will

remove winter weights as conditions require. Shippers can check restriction orders and the Highway Hotline for the latest information.”

Winter weights have already been removed for southern and west-central Saskatchewan.

Shippers should also be aware of upcoming spring road bans. Spring road bans are weight restrictions placed on secondary roads during the thaw period when roads are most fragile.

They are typically applied first in the southwest and expand to the rest of the province as weather dictates.

When restrictions are implemented they may be in place for up to six weeks.

Processing forages

By Bryan Doig, PAg Processing forages with bale shredders and tub grinders helps to reduce feed wastage. Cattle are selective eaters. They will pick through the hay, leaving the coarse stemmy material behind.

Ground or chopped forage is consumed with minimal losses if fed in a feed bunk or selffeeder. Feeding forage on the snow increases the amount of waste.

New research has shown when forages are rolled out onto snow, there is 12.3 percent waste and 19.2 percent waste when shredded onto the ground. If fed on snow, the fine material shorter than 3/4 inch or 1.7 cm cannot be picked out of the snow and creates 75 percent of the wasted feed. Generally this is the fine leaf material

that is high in nutrients, especially energy and protein.

Processing forages and roughages allows for mixing. Good quality hay can be mixed with poor quality forages (slough hay, cereal straw and weathered hay) to provide a more balanced diet.

Over- and underfeeding can be avoided.

Grain and supplements can be added to the mix.

Processing reduces the ration bulk.

Grinding forage through a 1.0 cm or 1.3 cm screen can increase the rate of passage through the digestive tract. Daily feed intake and rates of gain are increased.

Chopping forage longer than 2.5 cm does not result in increased intake or rate of passage through the digestive tract. Grinding through a 0.5 cm screen (or finer)

reduces the digestibility of the forage. Finely ground forage passes through the digestive system more rapidly, resulting in incomplete absorption of the digested feed. Processing a poorer quality forage increases intake to a greater degree than grinding high quality forage. The use of a 1.7 cm screen has the highest increase in digestibility for low quality forages.

Twine is not generally considered a problem in feeding as long as it is cut into fairly short pieces (16 to 18 inches). Net wrap should be removed prior to processing. There have been cases of dead cows from impaction due to larger pieces of net wrap clumping and blocking the digestive tract.

The occurrence of bloat may be increased

if grinding good quality forages. Ground forage can be dusty. The incidence of respiratory problems and eye disorders may increase especially if the cattle are fed using bale feeders.

Poisonous plants can pose problems. Cattle normally pick through long hay, leaving behind unpalatable material including poisonous plants. Processed forage is consumed without sorting. Ensure that the forage is free of poisonous plants.

Grinding forages can be expensive. Determine the advantages and disadvantages of processing.

If only poor quality or coarse stemmy roughage is available for your cow herd, grinding may be a useful option.

Fine tuning production plans: Start with good seed

By Joanne Kowalski, MSc PAg For many producers, the growing season of 2014 was rife with disease as a result of the warm wet weather, further resulting in seed issues for the 2014 crop. The issues at the forefront include below average germination and above average disease rates with rates for Fusarium species being the biggest problem. F. graminearum and F. culmorum can be seed borne or soil borne and cause head blights while all Fusarium spp. cause seedling blights and root rots.

There are several species in the Fusarium family but F. graminearum is the most worrisome as it produces metabolites that are toxic to both humans and animals. The major mycotoxins produced

by F. graminearum are deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone. As we have

seen this year, the result is grain that is difficult to market and questionable to use as seed.

Fusarium infection can be controlled by: Using seed lots with low levels of infection.

In order to get the best control, have your seed tested for infection levels.

Using seed treatments.

Using a seed treatment can do these three things: 1) make good seed better able to resist infection, 2) impair the spread of seed-borne diseases from the seed to the seedlings, and 3) slow the infection of seedlings by soil-borne disease and increase vigour. Seed treatments are not a solution for moldy seeds. In the end, it is absolutely essential to get good coverage on the seed so when using older treating methods, increase the water content of the slurry for improved coverage.

Using a fungicide for Fusarium head blight

(FHB). Consult with an agrologist or utilize the 2015 Guide to Crop Protection as timing is key.

Using increased seeding rates to reduce tillering.

Remember when seeding: speed kills (destroys seed treatment coverage and cracks seed).

Using newer resistance varieties.

The Saskatchewan Seed Growers Association 2015 Seed Guide provides information on where to acquire Certified Seed and contains the Varieties of Grain Crops where information on resistance can be found along with other characteristics.

Back to Ag Program recipients announced

MORE

Canadian Agricultural Safety Association second round of applications now accepted The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) in partnership with Farm Credit Canada (FCC) and the Rick Hansen Foundation (RHF) is pleased to announce five farmers have been awarded Back to Ag funding.

The Back to Ag Program is a funding project focused on supporting the cost of adaptive technology that injured farmers or agricultural workers need to return to the work they love – farming.

To kick-start the program, FCC donated $100,000 to the Back to Ag Program following a successful two week social media campaign.

Individuals and other organizations also donated to the Back to Ag Program through both the RHF and the FarmSafe Foundation.

“Recipient feedback has been extremely positive,” says Marcel Hacault, CASA’s Executive Director. “This funding fills a need that isn’t met

through insurance or government programs.

This unique program is truly getting farmers Back to Ag.” Back to Ag recipients are from across Canada, all have experienced a traumatic injury and all are actively farming.

Funds will be used to modify a cattle handling system, retrofit a tractor with a lift, provide a sitto-stand lift, modify a barn entry and purchase an accessible barnloft staircase. Each of the participants’ Back to Ag projects will make farming with an injury safer and more productive.

“Across the country, FCC employees are constantly inspired by the passion, resilience and commitment of Canadian farm families, even in their most challenging times,” said FCC President and CEO Michael Hoffort. “We’re honoured to do our part by helping to provide injured farmers with the support they need to get back Back to Ag.”

“Seeing the direct impact the Back to Ag program and partnership is having on farmers is incredibly encouraging and inspiring,” says Rick Hansen, CEO of the Rick Hansen Foundation. “I urge more farmers to apply for the program to get the assistance they need to continue the work they love. Supporting our farmers is key to a sustainable and thriving agriculture industry in Canada.”

CASA would also like to announce that another application period is now open to apply for Back to Ag Funding.

Applications for the Back to Ag Program will be accepted from February 23, 2015 to April 24, 2015. Canadian residents who are 18 years or older, have experienced a life altering injury and are able to show their need and demonstrate how the adaptive technology will help them return to work on the farm are eligible to apply. The adaptive technology can come

in the form of medical devices or accessibility tools like ramps or lifts or any other technology that will allow the producer in return to farm work.

Applicants are encouraged to visit casaacsa.ca/Back _ To _ Ag _ Program, email backtoag@casa-acca.ca or call CASA at 877-452-2272 for more information and application forms.

7 Ways to Help a Person Boost Adherence Once you’ve made some nutritional changes to support weight loss, a Personal Trainer can play a key role in developing an action plan that will support those changes.

Fitn ess ti

Ps

BeloW Are 7 strAteGies you CAn use to suPPort your DeDiCAtion to mAkinG A “liFestyle CHAnGe”.

1. keep a food journal. Prior to starting a diet, you should keep a food log for 3 days, including 2 typical weekdays and 1 weekend day. This helps identify baseline eating habits. Measuring portions, reading nutrition labels and using an app or a food tracker to input your information helps record calories, carbs, protein and fat. Once on a diet, you can periodically check in and compare current eating habits with the diet’s suggested regimen.

•Fitness Assessments 2. Be realistic. You will need to make some changes in your routine to commit to a diet plan, but if the changes feel •Gift Certificates too drastic, or you doubt your resolve to maintain them, consider a Personal Trainer to coach you to identify the most •Discounts realistic opportunities for change.

3. Assess the home environment. For you to adhere to an eating plan, the home environment has to support •Programs the plan. A Trainer may have to clean out foods that are inconsistent with the eating plan, and load up on healthier, nutrient-dense options. The Trainer will suggest reducing quantities and using smaller plates or utensils.

4.incorporate a realistic physical activity program. A doable program, that you enjoy & find relatively easy to do help you to stick with the program. The American and Canadian College of Sports Medicine recommend 150 – 250 minutes per week of moderate-intensity activity for improved health and to prevent weight gain. This is equal to 3 10-minute activity bouts per day.

5. Find support. Social support is recognized as a very important predictor of weight loss success. Finding a workout buddy, who is like-minded and practices healthy behaviors will help to keep you on track.

6. self-monitor weight. A Personal Trainer can help keep tabs on a persons weight loss and can see when regain begins.....then an adjustment can be made quickly. Studies show that this buddy system is key for a personal success.

7. Check in with weight loss coach monthly. The Weight loss maintenance trial found that the individuals most likely to maintain their weight loss had monthly personal counseling sessions incorporating nutrition and Certified Personal Trainer/Aerobic Group Instructor physical activity for at least 2 years.

Continued from page 18

Wrestlers earn gold, silver the WHS administration, and a complementary wrestling program at the Warman Community Middle School (WCMS), which provides younger student athletes with experience and motivation.

“The biggest accomplishment is that our team has been growing since Day One four years ago when I first got here, and with the help of Matt Linner here at WHS and Erin Hoffman at the middle school, we’ve been able to have the program take root,” said Reis. “I thought it was a big accomplishment to send 14 kids to regionals, because that’s the most we’ve ever had make it that far.

And then to send another six on to provincials, and to come away from that with two silver medals and a team gold medal, that feels pretty cool.”

Reis said the achievement speaks highly of the talent and dedication of the student athletes.

“They’ve worked really hard all season,” he said. “Micah has really improved tremendously over the past three years, so winning a silver medal is nice for him in his Grade 12 year. And for Brandon, this was his first year in wrestling, and since he’s in Grade 11, he should be back next year for another shot at the championship.”

The growing participation of girls in the sport is a bright spot, said Reis.

‘We had three girls in regionals and two went on to provincials,” he noted. “I’m hoping we can keep bringing out the girls to compete.

Reis said the gold medal matches at provincials for both Heide and McKimmon were close, and could have gone either way.

Reis noted that the gold medal is a team achievement, and he’s proud of every athlete in the program.

“We sent six kids to provincials but we had 14 compete at regionals, and they all came out to practices right up until the very end. They were all there supporting the ones that were going to provincials,” he said.

The Hague Royals’ provincial Senior A championship playoff run was fun while it lasted.

The Royals made it all the way to the northern final series, further than they’ve ever gone before in the history of the team.

But the run ended just shy of the ultimate goal.

The Royals dropped a 3-1 heartbreaker to the Lanigan Pirates in front of a capacity crowd at the Hague Arena on Friday, March 13. The loss came on the heels of a 6-0 drubbing by the Pirates in Lanigan on Saturday, March 7, and eliminated the Royals from playoff contention.

The Pirates now take on Bethune in the provincial championship series.

Lanigan drew first blood in Friday night’s tilt in Hague, when Travis Statchuk scored the Pirates’ opening goal less than five minutes into the opening frame. But the Royals buckled down after a shaky start, and were able to kill off several penalties in a row to keep within striking distance. Royals’ goalie Graham Hildebrant played one of his best games of the season, turning away wave

Dalmeny Sabres win SVMHL crown

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Dalmeny Bantam Sabres will add another Sask Valley Minor Hockey League (SVMHL) championship banner to their rafters after defeating the Shellbrook Elks 12-7 at Dalmeny Arena, March 12.

The league champs got a bye past the first round of the playoffs. They went on to defeat the Beardy’s Blackhawks in two games in the second round.

That led to the third round championship series against the Shellbrook Elks, in which the Sabres came from behind to claim the gold medal.

In the opening game of the series in Shellbrook on Tuesday, March 3, the Elks won 7-2. The Sabres roared back in Game 2 on Tuesday, March 10, winning 6-5 on home ice.

That victory set the table for Game 3 in Dalmeny on Thursday, March 12. It didn’t take long for both teams to get on the score sheet.

SABRES STRIKE FIRST

The Sabres’ Marc Bushman started the scoring when he tipped in a shot by teammate Andrew Mays to give his team a 1-0 lead just over a minute into the opening frame. The Sabres continued their offensive onslaught by adding two more goals minutes later when D.J. Debler and Nic Slobodian each tallied to increase their lead to three.

In the latter half of the first period the Elks mounted an impressive comeback, scoring five goals from Colby Moe, Jorde Gener, Gustave Williams, Mathew Collins and Lynden Bird. Bird gave his team the go-

ahead goal with mere seconds remaining in the first period to take a 5-4 lead into the dressing room.

It didn’t take long for the Sabres to tie the game in the second period, when Bushman scored his second and prettiest goal of the night when he backhanded the puck off the Elks goaltender while skating around the net.

The 5-5 draw ended when the Elks’ Bird gave his team the lead on the power play to close out scoring in the second period.

In the opening minutes of the third period Theoron Chamberlain scored an insurance marker to give the Elks a 7-5 cushion, which they were hoping to ride out until the final buzzer.

But the Sabres proved determined to win, with seven goals coming off the sticks of three players: Debler, who scored in the first period, added two more in the final frame to secure a hat trick; Joshua Dunlop also scored three for a hat trick and Justin Sexsmith scored a pair to end the game with a 12-7 final score.

CLOSE GAME

Sabres head coach Kevin Slobodian said it was a close game that could have gone either way.

“This is the way these two teams have played against each other the entire year,” said Slobodian. “The approach we had was skate hard, and be first to the puck. The players bought into that and we have done it every year like that.”

This is the third straight league championship for mem-

bers of the Sabres bantam squad. The same group of players also won the league title at atom and peewee levels in previous years.

Slobodian credited Sabres’ success to the ongoing support of parents, fellow coaches and players who have bought into the team concept from an early age.

“The parents allow the coaches to do what we need to do. They support us 100 per cent,” said Slobodian. “I coached a lot of them since they were in pre-novice so it has always been about the team.

For a lot of the players, going out on top and winning a league championship is bittersweet because only a few players will move on to the next level.

“A lot of these kids will not play midget hockey. For a lot of them they will play other sports like football. But school and jobs will take over, so for a lot of them this is their last year of hockey,” said Slobodian. “It is good to go out a winner and I just want to thank the entire community for their support and for the parents and players who gave it their all and played with a lot of heart.

The team includes: Craig Dunlop (Asst. Coach), Trevor Schlosser (Asst. Coach),, D.J. Debler, Rhys Tkachuk, Justin Sexsmith, Bailey Tisdel, Cody Cowley, Nic Slobodian, Andrew Mays, Drake Davies, Kevin Slobodian (Head Coach), Erin Tisdel (Asst. Coach), Liam Smith, Dylan Meek, Joshua Dunlop, Wyatt Holmgren, Carson Scheller, Marc Bushman, Dallyn Schlosser, Maeson Grueter, Zach Thiessen

Vipers dig deep for final game in Bantam AA provincial playoff series

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

It’s do-or-die time for the Sask Valley Vipers heading into the third and deciding game of their north division semi-final series against Prince Albert.

The Vipers lost Game 1 of the series 5-4 in overtime on Sunday, March 8; but bounced back to win Game 2 by a score of 3-2 on Saturday, March 14.

Game 3 was slated for Tuesday, March 17 at the Legends Centre in Warman. The score was unavailable at the Gazette press deadline.

The Vipers’ loss in the first game was a result of bad luck rather than lack of effort.

The Vipers outshot the Raiders 48 to 21 in Game 1, with 22 of those shots coming in the third period.

The team also went 3 for 6 on the power play, but a bad clearing attempt by a Vipers player in overtime directed the puck accidentally into the home net and proved to be the overtime winner. The goal was credited to the Raiders Brayden Dirks.

Vipers head coach Shaun Priel said it was something that unfortunately happened, but he didn’t want his team to dwell on it.

“We had a breakdown in our zone off the face-off where we threw it up. One of our guys went to clear it and knocked it into his own net,” said Priel. “I told them after the game that they had until 10 o’clock to let it bug them, and then they had to get prepared for Game 2,” The Vipers took that advice into Game 2 at the Art Hauser Arena in Prince Albert, March 14 with a 3-2 win.

Austin Lamotte, Kyle Kayter, and Kyrell Sopotyk tallied goals for the Vipers, who carried a 3-1 lead into the latter half of the third period before the Raiders’ Tanner Hendriks and Matthew Flodell got close but couldn’t pull out a win.

In Game 1 the Vipers got the game rolling early when Matthew Ikert and Sopotyk put their team up 2-0 before the Raiders Brennon Parenteau shortened it by one.

The Vipers maintained their slim lead deep into the third period before Owen Ozar evened the score with just over 3 minutes to go in the period.

On the next two goal scoring plays the Vipers and Raiders traded power play markers

Outlaws, Elks battle for FCHL league crown The Shellbrook Elks and Prairie Outlaws will battle it out for the Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) championship starting this week.

The Elks earned a berth in the league championship series after disposing of the Bruno TBirds in their semi-final series.

The Outlaws had earlier nailed down a spot in the final after beating the Tisdale Ramblers in their semi-final series.

The first game of the FCHL title series is slated for Friday, March 20 in Waldheim at 8 p.m.

Game 2 goes Tuesday, March 24 in Shellbrook. Game 3 is back in Waldheim on Friday, March 27. Game 4, if necessary, is slated for Saturday, March 28 in Shellbrook, and Game 5, also if necessary, will be on Sunday, March 29 in Waldheim. All games start at 8 p.m.

when Lamotte scored the goahead goal, which was tied by Parenteau’s second of the night to end first period scoring at a 3-3 draw.

In the second and third periods both teams scored with Luke Reid tallying his first of the night while Ozar potted his second leading to overtime to decide the game.

Priel said he has a lot of respect for the Raiders, saying

they are a high-pressure team that you can’t take for granted. What’s key for Priel is the Vipers simply sticking to their game plan.

“If we play responsible defence and keep a man in their defensive zone, who puts us into spots to protect our own end,” said Priel. “Then keep attacking on offence and keep shooting pucks at the net. Eventually they are going to go in.”

Hometown History Martensville Historical Committee compiles stories of rapidly-growing community

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Next year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of Martensville as a village, and members of the community’s historical committee are already gearing up to mark the occasion.

Terri Hetterly, a former Martensville City Councilor, and Stephanie Webb are compiling an archival database of documents related to the history of the community. Every Wednesday afternoon they can be found hard at work on their absorbing task in the Martensville Historical Committee office at the Civic Centre on Main Street.

“It’s kind of fitting to be working out of this building, because it’s actually an historical location in the community,” said Hetterly. “The building itself was a school at one time, and the site itself was where the first school was located.”

The original school in Martensville was a one-room country school that was moved to the site in 1953. Getting the school really marked the beginning of Martensville as a viable community, said Hetterly.

“People came here because of the school,” said Hetterly. “That was really how Martensville got started.”

According to the historical committee, 1953 was a watershed year because that was when Dave Martens, a farmer who owned the land alongside Highway 12, succeeded in getting permission from the Saskatchewan government to move an unused oneroom school onto property owned by another local farmer, Jake Gerbrandt Sr. The school was situated on the southeast corner of the intersection of the highway and Grid Road 384 (Main Street).

Martensville was incorporated as a hamlet in 1961, as a village in 1966, as a town in 1969 and as a city in 2009. While the community is young in years, its history is fascinating, according to Hetterly.

“It grew very quickly, and it’s still growing very fast,” said Hetterly. “2016 marks the fiftieth anniversary of village status, so we’re hoping to have some large displays to show people what it was like back then. But the big celebration, we hope, will be in 2019,

when we celebrate fifty years from when we achieved town status and ten years as a city.”

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

Today Martensville is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, with a dynamic business sector, expanding residential subdivisions and many recreational amenities.

But it started out almost by accident.

A display in the Martensville Civic Centre shows the origin of the city.

Maps of the time show the settlement as being a short distance south of “13 Mile Corner;” the informal name for the intersection where the highway turned west to Dalmeny. The name of the community was derived from the Dave Martens family, which owned the section of land north of Grid 384.

The section south of the grid was owned by the Gerbrandt family.

The display contains a copy of a 1953 letter from Dave Martens to theneducation minister Woodrow Lloyd.

In the letter, Martens outlines the necessity for a school, and points out that residents of the area first raised the issue in 1948.

Martens began to subdivide his 350 acres of farmland, selling 108 by 150 foot residential lots at a price of $175 each. In 1959, he had sold 46 building sites and had another 26 to sell in 1960.

Gerbrandt also subdivided his property, carving out residential lots along Martensville Historical Committee volunteers Stephanie Webb (left) and Terri Hetterly are working to compile an archival database of documents related to the history of the community

Main Street. He donated a portion of his property for the new school in 1953.

The historical committee has maps showing the evolution of early plans for the townsite. Dave Martens had an initial plan with lots and streets drawn up in the early 1950s. A survey was completed in 1960, and an official map of the hamlet was produced in 1962.

Hetterly said the first house the

committee can verify that was built on a residential lot in the new community was in 1952. She noted that the current 5th Avenue North was originally the driveway to the Dave Martens family farmhouse. The original Martens family home, now extensively renovated, is still standing in its original location.

A short history of Martensville in the Hague-Osler Mennonite Reserve history book by local historian Leonard Doell, published in 1995, notes that many young Mennonite families were attracted to the community because of cheaper housing and proximity to Saskatoon’s jobs and services.

In the summer of 1968, the year before it achieved town status, residents voted overwhelmingly in a referendum to retain the name of Martensville, rejecting several other suggestions. By the late 1980s, the town’s population had grown to a little over 3,000 people. Today’s current population is estimated to be about 9,500.

SEEKING INFORMATION

The history committee is currently funded by a grant from Saskatchewan Lotteries, and the office space is donated by the City of Martensville, which owns the Civic Centre. The funds from the grant were used to purchase a computer and software to compile and store the data collected by committee members. A grant application has been submitted to the province to enable the committee to continue its work for another year.

Hetterly said while a lot of material has been unearthed, volunteers are excited about discovering more documents and recording the stories of long-time residents.

“We’re concentrating on cataloguing our archives right now,” said Webb. “We have a lot of stuff and our intention is to make it available to the public. The database can be searched if you type in a key word, like a family surname, and documents containing that word will pop up.”

Committee volunteers also plan to do oral interviews with anyone who has information they want to share.

Hetterly said the committee is looking for stories and anecdotes, but is also using independent sources to verify information. “We use the provincial archives and other databases to determine the year when something happened, for example,” said Hetterly.

“People’s memories are good, but dates and names are sometimes not always accurate.”

Martensville coach gets call up to National Team

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Martensville’s Todd McCulloch had the distinct honour of being named assistant coach of the Junior Men’s National Softball Team late last month.

McCulloch is certainly no stranger to the game of softball. He has been a high performance coach since 2003 and has worked with many individuals and teams to improve their skills through the use of video analysis. He coached both men’s and women’s teams, including Team Saskatchewan at

the 2007 and 2011 Western Canada Summer Games, and is currently the coach of the U18 Women’s team.

He also coached the University of Regina women’s softball team from 2009 to 2011 and has coached successful club teams since 2010.

In 2010 his team won bronze at the Junior Women’s Canadian Softball Championship. As an assistant coach of provincial championship-winning teams he was part of two teams, the U18 Men in 2013 and U21 men in 2014.

He has also been a guest

coach at Division 1 Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas.

McCulloch said it always is exciting to have the opportunity to wear the maple leaf.

“Coaching at the national team level is something I’ve always had an aspiration to do.

I’ve done everything I can do as a coach through professional development opportunities,” said McCulloch.

McCulloch is a newcomer to the national team and applied three times to coach at the national level.

His task right now will be

identifying the best U19 eligible players and scouting national tournaments for the 2016 ISF Junior Men’s World Championship, which will be played in Michigan, said McCulloch.

“It’s probably one of the hardest things to do. If you have 100 players, there are some where it’s not hard to get rid of. When you have a 17-man roster and you have to go from 25 to 17 you have to ask yourself: what can this player do and who will fit into the mold that we need?”

McCulloch said he might also have the opportunity to work with the Senior Men’s team this

summer in Saskatoon when the city hosts the Senior Men’s World Softball Championship.

With a young family that enjoys the game just as much as he does, it is an added bonus.

“It will be exciting for them.

When I told my daughter I was going to be assistant coach of the junior men’s national team she asked if I was going to be on TV. It’s an exciting thing,” said McCulloch McColloch, who has only lived in Martensville for three years, said a benefit of coaching at the national level is being able to help out minor softball assocatiations, which he hopes he will be able to do in Martensville and Warman in years to come.
