Police probe murder near Cedar Villa The Saskatoon Police Service has identified the woman who was found injured and later died in hospital on March 25, 2015.

Police did not release the name of the woman at the request of her family. However, widespread posts on social media confirmed the woman’s identity as 18-year-old Brittany Gargol of Saskatoon.

Following the release of photos of the woman’s clothing and tattoos members of the public contacted police with information.

The woman’s death was initially considered suspicious in nature, and on Friday, March

27, police confirmed they are treating the case as a homicide investigation. This is the third murder this year in Saskatoon.

Investigators with SPS major crimes unit are currently attempting to identify persons of interest in connection with the woman’s death. An autopsy has been conducted; however the results will not be released at this time.

Police are asking anyone with further information in regard to this investigation to call the SPS at 306-975-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Saskatoon Police responded to a call at about 6:00 a.m.

that a passerby had found the woman on the Cedar Villa Estates road near Valley Road, on the southwestern edge of Saskatoon.

The woman was rushed to hospital by ambulance but later died of her injuries.

Saskatoon Police Service Major Crime and Forensic Identification Sections spent several hours combing the scene for evidence.

Police vehicles blocked all roads leading into the wooded area om the RM of Corman Park on the southwestern edge of Saskatoon. Commuters heading to work were forced to detour around the area.

Pharmaceuticals stolen during robbery

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Police are currently investigating an early-morning breakin at a drugstore in Dalmeny.

The robbery occurred at 4:45 a.m. on Monday, March 30, according to Constable Scott Rowe of the Dalmeny Police Service (DPS).

“Whoever broke into the store was apparently after pharmaceuticals,” said Rowe.

“The thief broke the glass on the front door of the building, probably with a hammer or crowbar, and went directly to the pharmacy area.

“The thief stole an unknown quantity of pharmaceuticals.”

The break-in triggered an alarm. The store owner and a police officer arrived at the store at 5:00 a.m. after being contaacted by the alarm company.

“We believe it was one person that committed the robbery,” said Rowe. “We are asking the public for any information that could help with the investiga-

A break-in at the Dalmeny Buy and Save Drug store was being investigated by the Dalmeny Police Service on Tuesday, March 31 tion.”

Rowe said the thief’s vehicle left the scene in a southerly direction on Third before turning onto Railway and eventually to Highway 305, where it headed west towards Langham.

Rowe said at this point the police do not have a description of the vehicle. He said anyone with any information is asked to contact Crimestoppers or the Dalmeny Police Service at 306354-2114. The public can also contact the Dalmeny Police Service through the DPS Facebook page.

The robbery at the store in Dalmeny appeared to be a single incident, since no other pharmacies in other communities within the region reported any attempted break-ins, said Rowe.

Rowe said this is the first break-in in a year in Dalmeny.

“It’s been pretty quiet,” said Rowe. “Although we have had several incidents of vandalism that are troublesome, particulary with regard to the new playground that was recently set up near the elementary school. A lot of people devoted a lot of time, energy and money to make that playground a reality and to see the structure defaced is very disappointing.”

Premier, community leaders focus on wide range of issues at meeting

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Education funding, regional economic partnerships, highways and health care were all on the agenda at a meeting between community leaders and the Saskatchewan Premier on Tuesday, March 24 in Langham.

Premier Brad Wall and Biggar MLA Randy Weekes met with Langham Mayor Bev Panas, Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood and other community leaders to talk about issues of concern. The meeting was part of an informal series of discussions arranged periodically across the province, according to Weekes.

PERIMETER HIGHWAY

Harwood told Wall there are three major concerns in the RM of Corman Park, including encouraging economic growth, establishing the route of the Perimeter Highway, and proceeding with a proposal to help alleviate flooding in the Opimihaw Creek watershed basin.

Harwood said the RM, which surrounds the City of Saskatoon, is ripe for commercial and residential development.

“One of the main concerns we have is with the Perimeter Highway route,” said Harwood.

“We know the dollar figure for that project is going to be enormous and it may not happen for several years, but we’re at the point now where we need to have the route drawn on a map.

“We have ratepayers who would like to move forward with development of their land, but they’re kind of in limbo right now because that decision hasn’t been made. We want people to be able to move forward with economic development, and if there is any way of pushing that process a little quicker it would be very much appreciated.”

Wall agreed the project should be done as quickly as possible, but noted the involvement of the federal government complicates the process. He said the federal government’s funding of major highway projects is necessary to make them happen. He said the federal government contributed signifi-

cantly to the twinning of Highway 11 between Saskatoon and Prince Albert in recent years, and is now committed to helping finance twinning of Highway 16 to Clavet and Highway 7 to Delisle.

REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

Harwood said regional partnerships are a good thing, and Corman Park is committed to working constructively with the Partnership for Growth (P4G) initiative, which also includes the municipalities of Saskatoon, Warman, Martensville and Osler. But, she added, the RM is unique in that it is the only municipality subject to considerable direction from its neighbours.

“We understand that in order for these urban centres to grow, they have to annex land,” said Harwood. “But right now there is a bit of a holding pattern for land in ‘sterilized’ areas and the landowners are restricted in their options.

“I think there is a way that we can have a win-win situation where we can still develop land in Corman Park in such a manner that it meshes with future land uses. We can have sewer and water and everything ready for hookup if necessary, but don’t stop us from developing. That’s where we’re at right now. We have major developments sitting in limbo.”

Wall noted that the province prefers to use “the carrot rather than the stick” to encourage municipalities to work together on regionally-beneficial projects.

Harwood encouraged the Premier to facilitate funding for the Osler Ditch, a $4 million water diversion project aimed at alleviating the problem of periodic flooding in the Opimihaw Creek basin. The project is part of an overall $54 million large-scale, long-term proposal that may or may not happen, said Harwood.

“It’s a realistic project that could make a huge difference by diverting a large percentage of the water from Buzz Lake to the South Saskatchewan River before it flows through the area between Warman and Martensville and eventually to Wanuskewin,” she said.

SCHOOL FUNDING

Ken Crush, a member of the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD), told Wall the provincial funding formula for school divisions is “inequitable” to PSSD, and noted the school division is facing an estimated $6 million shortfall in its operating budget this year.

“Last year we cut $2 million from our operating budget, and brought in $3 million from reserves,” said Crush. “This year another $3 million is being brought in from reserves. We’re trying to meet the needs in our operational budget, but we’ve been falling behind since 2012, when the new funding formula was implemented.”

He said the shortfall in operating funds will eventually translate into cuts at the classroom level, and the PSSD Board is hoping to avoid that situation.

Crush said the PSSD is not critical of the government’s capital funding, noting that new schools and upgrades to existing schools in the school division are appreciated.

Wall said the government disagrees with the PSSD’s analysis, and suggested the school division had seen a 24 per cent increase in operating funding since 2007.

He also said the government has increased funding to the school division during September in the past and that he did not rule out a similar move this year.

HEALTH CARE FACILITIES

Discussions also centred on the challenges facing long-term seniors care facilities. Conrad Jantzen, administrator of the Langham Senior Citizens Home, said many seniors who need higher-level care do not qualify under the current criteria.

He said the step from private care to long-term care needs to be made less difficult for seniors and their families.

Wall said his government has increased the personal care home benefits and has also reduced the percentage of funds that must be raised locally for care homes, and increased the provincial portion of the cost of construction.

Intervalley Water pays off mortgage, gears up for infrastructure expansion

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Intervalley Water Incorporated (IWI) is looking to increase its volume allocation to meet growing residential and business demand for potable water in rural areas north of Saskatoon.

The subscriber-owned, nonprofit utility supplies treated water to members in the northern part of the RM of Corman Park and the southern edge of the RM of Laird. IWI buys water from SaskWater, a provincially-owned utility, which in turn purchases the water from the City of Saskatoon.

IWI President Anthony Nienhuis told the organization’s annual general meeting on Wednesday, March 25 that IWI will have improved cash flow in the coming year now that its mortgage has been paid in full.

“Today we have enough funds in the bank on our loan account to pay off our mortgage,” said Nienhuis. “It’s 100 per cent paid off. The board of directors made a decision to pay it off a while ago, but we wanted to make sure we had the cash funds in place to do it,

because we did not want to take anything out of our operating budget.”

In 2013, IWI’s mortgage, classified as ‘long-term debt’ in its financial statement, was $663,265. By the end of the 2014 fiscal year, that debt had been reduced to $184,655. This year, it will be eliminated, said Nienhuis.

That helps free up cash flow to invest in infrastructure, he said.

“We’re now in a position where we can grow and invest our funds in future opportunities as they come up,” said Nienhuis. “We want to use our resources to stabilize ourselves for future growth.”

IWI recorded a net surplus for 2014 of $115,930; a slight increase from its 2013 net surplus of $114,843.

The utility is looking to upgrade its infrastructure by installing isolation valves so that if water has to be shut off for any reason, fewer people will be affected. In addition, natural gas was plumbed to all of IWI’s pumphouses during 2014. Research is currently being done on both backup electrical generators and heaters with plans

to install later in 2015.

“This will eliminate the need for electrical heat,” said Nienhuis. “It should save us quite a lot of money.”

The utility is no longer required to have backwater flow valves at the end-user locations as each installation has an approved air gap that renders the backwater flow valves redundant, said Nienhuis. “That reduces our meter assembly costs by $145 each,” he said.

Reserve funds are being set aside by the utility to cover both planned upgrades and unexpected expenses.

“Last year we had a few lines that were severed by contractors and that resulted in interrupted service to our members,” said Nienhuis. “That was completely out of our control, and we responded to the best of our ability. There is a cost to us when that happens, and we are working to have contractors pay those costs. One has agreed to pay and we are working on the others.”

IWI currently has 331 active curbstops, up from 314 a year CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Road improvements in the works as Corman Park gears up for summer construction season

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park is gearing up for construction season, with several capital projects on the agenda.

RM of Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore said a number of the projects haven’t been fully confirmed because the RM is still waiting on estimates and approval by council

in the upcoming budget.

NEW PUBLIC WORKS SHOP One of the RM’s major capital

projects is a new public works shop, which is currently in the design phase, said Tittemore.

“Right now we did a RFP and awarded the RFP to Dunmack Contractors, who are going to do a design build for us, so we are actually just going through the design phase of it

Continued from page 3

Infrastructure upgrades ago. Total membership is currently over 400.

“That shows how we’re growing,” he said. “There is a lot of demand for potable water because of increased development, and we are trying to pursue additional allocations from SaskWater.”

IWI still has a number of subscribers in outlying areas who are not yet connected to a pipeline, and Nienhuis said the utility is working to eventually get them hooked up. However, he noted, expansion plans have to be based on a solid business model. The utility has contracted with an engineering firm and is currently exploring its short and long term options.

“That report will be completed in 2015,” said Nienhuis.

“We’re looking forward to how we can utilize the resources we have. It’s important to maintain opportunities for growth and financial viability, and in order to do that, we have to be financially stable.”

The utility is working on a number of options to alert members in the event of a drinking water advisory. In the past phone calls or delivery of hand-bills were required to every subscriber. But with hundreds of members spread out over a wide area, the utility needed quicker and more efficient ways of communicating, said IWI Treasurer Geoff Booth.

“It’s a painful process to call 60 or 80 people and talk to them, especially when the government wants the notification to be immediate,” said Booth.

“We are working on a system that would allow us to text members on their cell phones.

It would be a system where you would have to ‘opt in’ to allow us to contact you. That would speed the notification process up and would also save our office both time and money.”

The RM of Corman Park and IWI are currently beginning discussions on a potential fill station for firefighting purposes at an IWI pumphouse on Lutheran Road. The discussions are at a very early stage and many concerns and issues will have to be addressed before any agreement is reached.

Nienhuis said IWI is financial stable and “positioned well for future growth as it happens in the RM around us.

“We want to be able to take advantage of opportunities as they come up, rather than reacting,” he said. “We want to be proactive.”

Jason Kornelius of the Osler area was elected by acclamation to the IWI Board of Directors, filling a vacancy left by Ken Bysterveld, who retired from the board after completing his term of office. Other board members include Nienhuis, Booth, Glenn Beatty, Murray Grismer, Chris Kehrig, Dave Goss, Frank Richter and Nora Bueckert.

BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENT

The RM is still waiting on assessment numbers from the province to set its mill rate and budget, said Tittemore.

He said it is always a well thought out process to identify what RM roads are given priority every year.

“When we look at our road network as a whole we try to identify the need based on which roads are requiring a replacement and which ones are

CAPITAL ROAD PROJECTS

A number of road upgrades on the RM’s agenda include a potential clay cap of Auction Mart road on a portion of road west of the Dalmeny Access Highway.

The RM is looking at an overlay of the 71st Street, which includes paving from Highway 16 to the Dalmeny Access Road and upgrades on Neuhorst

the most cost effective,” said Tittemore. “We evaluate every mile of road we have in the RM as a whole and determine what the need for the work is.”

Tittemore said it is not always an easy decision to make.

“We recognize there are certainly more roads that need work but we have to prioritize it to the dollars that we have available in our budget,” said Tittemore.

REVENUE SHARING

The good news is municipal revenue sharing was not cut in the last budget, so there won’t be any adverse effects on infrastructure projects in the RM. “With our preliminary estimates we have been budgeting for status quo from last year with revenue sharing so we were very pleased to hear that we are going to see a slight increase in our dollars, but at the same time we were prepared for that,” said Tittemore

EQUIPMENT PURCHASES In February the RM’s De-

partment of Public Works issued its 2014 annual report detailing equipment trades and purchases. Last year the RM traded eight light trucks, two industrial tractors, two motor graders, one heavy truck, trailer and mower.

The RM also acquired five light trucks and one industrial tractor, motor grader, heavy truck, trailer and two mowers.

The replacements were needed to cut down on the maintenance costs of aging equipment.

Tittemore said there may be a couple more equipment purchases in 2015, but said council is pleased with their available resources to upgrade its fleet and accomplish a lot of work in the RM’s road network.

“We recognize we have a lot of work to do and our road network will always require upgrades,” said Tittemore. “Over the last three construction seasons we have been completing unprecedented amounts of road construction to get it closer to where we want it to be.”

Quick response contains damage in house fire

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A 911 call by a quick-thinking Martensville youth saved a home from serious damage when a fire broke out in its upstairs suite on Monday, March 30.

Wellington Cardozo, a student at Martensville High School, noticed smoke coming from a house located across the alley behind his residence about 3:45 p.m. He called 911 and firefighters with Martensville Fire Rescue were on the scene in a matter of minutes. They entered the home on Second Street South to find flames and a considerable amount of smoke coming from a bedroom window.

The young couple renting the upstairs suite where the fire started were just returning home as the firefighters arrived. They watched while about a dozen fire personnel extinguished the fire, cleared smoke from the building, and checked for potential hotspots inside the ceiling and walls.

No one was home at the time of the fire, and there were no injuries.

Unfortunately, the renters did not have insurance and lost all their possessions in the fire.

Martensville Fire Chief Kurtis Dyck said the fire started in a bedroom and the cause appeared to be a faulty electronic device. Damage is estimated at about $100,000. No neighbouring homes were affected.

Martensville firefighters were on the scene for a little over an hour.

GRAVEL PIT FIRE

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

The Martensville house fire was the second fire-related incident in the North Corman Park region on Monday. Earlier in the day, Dalmeny Fire Rescue responded to a fire at a worksite on the far-western edge of the RM of Corman Park near the North Saskatchewan River. A piece of machinery working in a gravel pit caught fire.

Great Plains College launches business certificate program at Warman campus

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Business is booming in the Saskatoon region, and a new Business certificate program coming on stream this fall at Great Plains College (GPC) in Warman will help meet the demand for skilled employees.

It will also give entrepreneurs a solid foundation on which to build their own small businesses, according to GPC Region Manager Rob Neufeld.

At a news conference on the GPC Warman campus on Wednesday, March 25, Neufeld said the eight-month Business

certificate program will begin September 1. Enrolment is open to new students effective immediately.

The course material is provided by Saskatchewan Polytechnic (formerly SIAST) and is taught by GPC instructors.

The course is currently offered at the GPC Swift Current campus, and is now expanding to Warman.

“Coming from a business background, I couldn’t be more excited to see this program launched at our Warman campus,” said Neufeld. “Warman and Martensville, and also Osler and other communities in the region, are experiencing

unprecedented growth. This program will position the college to better meet this labour market demand while contributing to the entrepreneurial spirit and business development with the region.”

Neufeld said in an interview that the program is an “entrylevel certificate program that prepares students with foundational learning to enter the business world.”

He said the program can be a stepping stone to careers in accounting, administration, financial services, human resources, insurance or marketing. It can also be used for credits that are transferable

to university or other post-secondary institutions.

“Successful graduates of the program may transfer directly to a diploma program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic,” said Neufeld. “Students may also apply credits already earned toward a degree at several other colleges and universities.”

Neufeld said the GPC Warman campus already offers a nine-month Administrative Assistant course and a two-year Masters of Business Administration in Community Economic Development program. The Business certificate program is aimed at “filling the gap” between those two

courses.

GPC Warman campus Program Coordinator Brigitte Monteith said she expects the program will fill up quickly, noting three students expressed interest in the course prior to its unveiling on March 25.

“We have had a lot of calls from people interested in a course like this,” she said, adding it is a popular program at the Swift Current campus.

“The course covers the basics that you’re going to need in the world of business,” said Monteith. “I took this exact course at SIAST and then transferred into their two-year

Municipal reserve funding earmarked for public facilities

Reader Opinions

After receiving a number of e-mails in regard to an article in last week’s Gazette I decided on behalf of Corman Park Council and our Administration to explain how we deal with Municipal Reserve Funding.

Municipal Reserve funds, or Dedicated Lands funds, as they may be referred to, are provincially mandated funds that come to the RM as a result of subdivision of properties for the purpose of residential, commercial, or industrial uses.

Allowing for certain exceptions, every subdivision of those types within every municipality in the province is required to provide a dedication of land, or cash in lieu of land, to the governing municipality.

These lands or funds are intended to provide for public facilities, including but not limited to community halls, recreational facilities, schools, and parks.

In the case of the RM of Corman Park, the vast majority of subdivisions result in dedication of funds in lieu of lands, as with a relatively low population density the requirement for park space is limited.

Dedication is calculated based on the value of the lands created by subdivision, at a rate of 10% for residential, and 5% for commercial or industrial subdivisions. The dedication is required under the Planning and Development Act to be held in a separate account, and is audited on an annual basis. Funds must be expended according to the guidelines set within the Act, and cannot be utilized for general operating or infrastructure projects by the municipality.

The RM is also able to provide funds to other municipalities, so long as the funds are used in a way that meets the same requirements.

The RM of Corman Park since 1983 has expended almost $1,000,000 in Municipal Reserve funds, to a variety of facilities both within the RM and in urban municipalities which are providing community and recreational facilities to residents.These funds are 100% generated by subdivision, and are in no way connected to the municipal taxation rate.

Some examples of past donations to urban centres within the RM include: Langham Curling Rink, Dalmeny Recreation Complex, Osler Pool and Fire Hall, Asquith Rink and Sports Grounds, Warman Arena and Multi Plex, Martensville Pool and Community Facilit. Other examples within the RM itself include: Merrill Hills School Community Hall, South Corman Park Log Cabin, Hamlet of Cedar Villa, Bergheim Community Hall, Neuhorst Community Hall and Rink and Floral Community Hall.

The RM of Corman Park strives to provide the highest possible level of service to our residents and visitors alike, including recreational facilities.We are very fortunate to have the ability to provide for these types of services without having to utilize funds that could be better spent on infrastructure and other requirements.

Sask. long remembers big debt

There are many who would argue that the worst thing about Saskatchewan people; particularly rural people; is their long memories.

For example, decades after the Dirty Thirties Dustbowl, permanent scars on the psyche of Saskatchewan folks were still visible, as many clung to the notion that this was a place of significant limitations.

In fact, many on the right argue that Saskatchewan’s long memory caused the province to cling to this mentality. This not only gave rise to the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation that would later become the NDP, but it also explains the province’s risk adverse personality.

There are those who even say the CCF-NDP exploited this fear, causing Saskatchewan people to remain dependent on government for far too long.

Of course, others argue that this is what’s best about Saskatchewan; that the long-memory of tougher times caused people to develop a sense of caution, caring, community and personal and collective responsibility.

Co-ops and Credit Unions still thrive in rural Saskatchewan partly because the lessons of the free market were hardlearned by grandparents and great-grandparents.

Whatever this province’s set-

in-one’s-ways approach truly means, what it surely doesn’t mean is that rural Saskatchewan has been tied to left-wing philosophies.

Much of western and southern rural Saskatchewan never embraced the CCF-NDP approach. Rural Saskatchewan was the first to welcome the free-enterprise alternatives offered by the Ross Thatcher Liberals in the 1960s and the Grant Devine Progressive Conservatives in the 1980s.

Moreover, rural Saskatchewan’s long memories over the last NDP government’s closure of rural hospitals in the 1990s have been apparent every election since, when it has overwhelming endorsed Saskatchewan Party candidates with massive wins.

Whatever we think about the long memories of rural people, it should be noted that memory is a very complex thing.

Rural people may be conservative in their thinking, but that definition reaches well beyond a political label to a system of beliefs that touches on

long-held values of community, doing the right thing for a neighbour and being somewhat risk adverse when it comes to wasting one’s own hard-earned tax dollars.

It is for that that reason that the conservative-minded Sask.

Party government might have a tougher sell than it thinks when it tries to sell its recent debt and borrowing as a good thing.

Since announcing in this 2015-16 budget that the province would be borrowing $700 million to pay for infrastructure in the coming budget year and that public debt would increase by $1.5 billion, Finance Minister Ken Krawetz has been selling this as the “tough choice” or the only choice.

Obviously, this isn’t the case.

There are always choices in government. His government could have made other choices heading into the election that would have been tougher.

As opposed to borrowing, the government could have looked at some tax increase alternatives that were clearly on the table. Krawetz insisted, postbudget, that his government seriously examined everything from a gas tax hike to offloading the financial problems on to local governments by either reducing the municipal revenue sharing pool or increasing the local share of residential prop-

erty taxes.

Credit the Sask. Party government for not dumping their problems on another level of government, but is it really all that much better to dump problems on future generations?

This is where Krawetz’s sell job gets tougher.

If Saskatchewan people do have long memories, it’s a useful trait in recalling the billion-dollar a year run up by the Grant Devine Conservatives in the 1980s. Well, debt will be $1.5-billion more in a year and we are borrowing $700 million; often for urban projects like the Regina by-pass that don’t have much to do with a building an economy.

Yes, interest rates are lower than they were in the 1980s and Krawetz has been quick to note the money isn’t going to pay salaries; just to build things.

But if rural people remember the NDP hospital closures, they likely also remember they were the consequence of deficit and debt.

Rural people do tend to have long memories.

clarification

The increase in EHS fee on residential tax bills in Martensville is $15 per month. This translates into an annual increase of $180.

Provincial SUMObot competition offers students a great challenge ”It is a genuine, authentic, engaging and challenging project. We probably spent 160 hours in class learning how everything works and to be able to apply it in a setting like the challenge is a wonderful experience,” said Proctor.

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Delisle Composite School, Hague High School, Walter Brown Collegiate and Martensville High School made up a portion of the 196 students from 40 high schools across the province that competed in the Saskatchewan Polytechnic myRobot Rumble SUMObot Challenge 2015 at Saskatoon’s Kelsey Campus, March 26.

The goal of each competition is two assemble two student teams who will build, design and program SUMObots to face off against each other in a sumo-style supremacy ring match where the goal is to stay in the ring while pushing the challenger outside in order to move onto the next round.

Teachers from participating schools work with their students months before the challenge to prepare the SUMObots for the competition, which test students’ problem-solving skills, technical knowledge and teamwork in a friendly competitive atmosphere.

Hague High School (HHS) vice-principal Brett Berry found out first hand some of the last minute technical difficulties that can arise when preparing for the competition.

“Our last 24 hours leading up to the challenge was pretty stressful,” said Berry.

“Our leader for our group, J.P. Deprez, wanted to do some programming at home and found out that the cable we had been using at school would not work on his computer.”

As a result the group used another student’s laptop while driving to the event and found out that the wire also would not work on the student’s computer.

So when Deprez switched the wire out, he programmed one of their SUMObots, but the other was DOA, said Berry.

Berry said at the challenge Hague High School was at the top three in their pool right up

HHS then competed in a consolation round but lost their first challenge, which knocked them out of the competition.

The rest of the day students watched the rest of the competitors to see what they could learn, said Berry.

“A lot of the different hardware students were using was really neat, but a valuable lesson my students learned was that it did not matter how much a group spent on a robot, it didn’t always guarantee a win, which was an eye-opener for the kids,” said Berry.

Berry said the strategy his students used this year compared to last year was more high risk, looking for high reward and realizing that some

Martensville Chamber of Commerce gears up for membership campaign

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

With a slate of temporary officers at the helm, the fledgling Martensville Chamber of Commerce (MCC) is gearing up for its founding meeting on April 20.

At that meeting, the MCC will adopt a set of bylaws and a constitution, and also elect a slate of officers to lead the organization.

At a breakfast meeting in the Canalta Hotel in Martensville on Monday, March 30, Trent Ens, owner of Smokehaus Meats, volunteered to step into the role of temporary president until the April 20 meeting. He indicated he would let his name stand for President at that time.

Sherisse Sametts, manager of the Canalta Hotel, volunteered to fill the post of secretary, and also indicated she will run for the position when the election is held.

Tracy Cocks of Infinity Salon agreed to be the organization’s temporary treasurer, and will seek that post in the MCC election on April 20.

The post of Vice-President was not filled on a temporary basis. That post will be open for nomination on April 20, as well the positions of Directors on the MCC Board. The number of directors that can be elected will be determined when the constitution and bylaws are adopted at the founding meeting on April 20.

not only provide a unified voice to advocate for business interests in the city of Martensville, but also to provide a sounding board for city council on proposals that will affect businesses.

“The focus of the Chamber of Commerce is to work for the benefit of businesses,” said Ens. He said once the organization is established and registered as a non-profit corporation, it will embark on a sustained membership drive. The goal is to attract the majority of businesses in the city and immediate surrounding area as members.

Warman Wildcats win provincial Pee Wee A hockey championship The Warman Wildcats captured the provincial Pee Wee A hockey championship in convincing fashion on Thursday, March 26 in Swift Current, with a 5-2 victory over the host Broncos.

The Wildcats had edged the Broncos 3-2 in Warman on Monday, March 23 in the first game of the two-game, total-points championship series.

The Warman team cruised undefeated through three rounds of provincial playoffs, beating Battleford in the opening round by scores of 10-3 and 5-4; and polishing off Meadow Lake in the second round in two games straight with 8-2 and 4-3 victories. Meadow Lake had defeated the Martensville Marauders in their opening round series in two straight by scores of 9-1 and 13-4.

This marks the second straight provincial championship for the Warman Wildcats Pee Wee team, which last year captured the provincial Pee Wee B crown.

The Valley Christian Academy Lions brought home a silver medal, and gave fans their money’s worth at Hoopla in Saskatoon March 26-28.

In VCA’s semi-final match against Saskatoon Legacy Christian School, the Lions open up the first quarter with a 26-20 lead and increased it by 25 to take a 51-39 in the first half. In the second half Legacy Christian proved they were not going to go out easy by cutting down VCA’s lead at the end of the third quarter with a 68-54 score.

The game went coast to coast in the final quarter, leading to a tense but slim 86-80 win for VCA. VCA kept up the intensity in their final matchup against Regina Christian, trailing by just six points in the opening quarter, 24-19. They trimmed Regina’s lead by three at the half 41-44 but the heart of the game was in the second half when VCA kept the game close. At the end of the third quarter the score was 63-62. The final quarter was a nail biter with Regina barely winning the game by a slim margin of only 85-82.

VCA head coach Brad Wall said Regina’s three-pointer shots proved to be the difference in the game.

“Right now we are disappointed with the loss but I think my boys played extremely well and we are very proud of them,” said Wall. “I told the boys heading into the final that if we play our best game that they can’t be disappointed and I think we played our best game.”

With a growing student population at VCA this year, the Lions competed in Hoopla’s 3A category. In previous years the school competed in 2A. Wall said his team’s best quality this year was their never quit attitude.

“We were down by a considerable amount at the beginning of the final game but we battled back and got ourselves back in the game and scrapped until the end,” said Wall.

VCA Principal Syd Lakowski, who also sits on the executive of the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association, said the Lions played amazing and represented their school really well.

“I think they played their best two games of the year and when you play like that, win or lose, you have to go home proud,” said Lakowski. “In the semi-final we won a close one and in the final we lost a close one. That is what Hoopla is all about, the close competition and good sportsmanship on the court. It is fun to be a part of games like that.”

Rosthern Huskies show huge potential at Hoopla tournament

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

It is a significant accomplishment for a team to go from not winning any games a few years ago to winning a regional championship and competing in a provincial tournament.

This year was the Rosthern High School’s senior boy’ first 2A Provincial Hoopla Championship. The Huskies lost their semi-final match 92-54 to St.Brieux, which Huskies head coach Brenden Kroeger said was a great effort despite the loss.

“Obviously St. Brieux is an amazingly offensive team and they have a lot of scoring depth.

I kept telling our team throughout the game that they are going to make baskets but we have to defend, which I thought we did a really good job,” said Kroeger The semi-final game started off slow for the Huskies, but they were able to keep the game within reach at the halfway point with a 45-33 score.

In the first half the Huskies unfortunately lost one of their forwards when Corey Esperance took a elbow to the face while battling to catch a rebound under the net. The hit left him dazed to the point where he had to leave the game on a stretcher.

Kroeger who along with his team were a little shaken after the incident where pleased to find out that Esperence was doing fine in hospital.

In the second half St.Brieux’s offence dominated the game which ended with a 66-45 win.

Heading into the consolation match against Canora Kroeger said if his team digs in defensively the score should reflect that.

“We are a defensively minded team, we have big men on defence and wings that can attack quick,” said Kroeger.

The Huskies attempt to box out Canora certainly set the tone for their match where the team only lost by seven points in the 76-69 final score.

Despite their two losses Kroeger felt his team should be proud of what they accomplished.

“They have put in the time from the beginning of November to now. Five months of morning practices and they have improved in leaps and bounds,” said Kroeger. “They were athletes at the beginning of the year but now they are basketball players so I think they should hold their heads up high.”

Cougars edged

by Caronport in 3A Hoopla final

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Clavet Composite School’s senior girls basketball team were just two points shy of winning it all at the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Associations 3A Girls Provincial Hoopla Basketball Championship in Saskatoon, March 26-28.

In their semi-final matchup, the Cougars dominated right from the start of the first quarter, and doubled up on Assiniboia 68-39 at half time. Assiniboia brought the game to within 10 points during periods of the second half, but the Cougars widened the scoring gap enough in the final quarter to walk away with the win before the final buzzer sounded.

The Cougars took on Caronport High School senior girls basketball team in the 3A Final. Caronport is a familiar opponent. Clavet lost to them during a Hoopla consolation match in Regina last year.

It is a team that head coach Chad Williams knew the Cougars would have to give everything to overcome.

“We knew Caronport was going to be a tough match. We knew they had a lot of skilled players so we wanted to go in not necessarily focusing on what they were going to do, but what we were going to do, and what we have been building towards from the beginning of the year,” said Williams.

The scoring started off slow for the Cougars, who were down 22-9 after the first quarter. They worked hard to keep

the game close with a score of 36-37 after the second and tied the game at 46-46 at the half.

It was a back and forth battle until the final minutes, when Clavet’s Michelle Kukurudza scored a crucial three-point basket to tie the game at 65-65 with just over the one minute to go in the game.

Caronport foiled Clavet’s efforts seconds later with a layup winner to end the game at 6765.

It was hard not to notice the emotion on the Cougar bench shortly after the game.

Williams said it was a heartbreaking loss.

“We are all upset. Coming in after last year and losing in the semi-final to Caronport; getting bronze, and this year coming back and regrouping, focusing on the task at hand, and again coming up short, it was disappointing,” said Williams.”

Jill Ehman led team scoring with 17 points in the game followed by Michelle Kukurudza and Kate Winmill, who each scored 13 points.

Next year the Cougars will lose only two seniors, with the majority of the team returning.

After winning a bronze and silver in back to back Hoopla championships, Williams is hoping a gold medal is on the horizon.

“With the girls now winning bronze and silver medals, if the time comes where we win a gold championship it will be that much sweeter,” said Williams. “Sometimes it takes a loss to turn a win into a much greater thing.”

Prairie Outlaws down Shellbrook to claim another FCHL championship

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Prairie Outlaws claimed their second straight Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) championship last weekend, downing the Shellbrook Elks 6-3 to win the best-of-five final series three games to one.

The Outlaws won the league title in 2013-14, and repeated the feat on Saturday, March 28.

But it wasn’t easy.

The Prairie squad let the chance to hoist the championship trophy on home ice slip out of their hands on Friday, March 27, when they lost 4-3 to the Elks in double overtime.

They weren’t about to let that happen again.

The Outlaws overcame a 2-1 first period deficit in

game four with a strong second period assault, notching three quick goals in five minutes to secure a comfortable 5-3 lead after forty minutes. Prairie goaltender Aaron Stock shut the door on the Elks in the final frame to ice the game and the season.

The Outlaws’ Torry Stott and Brennan Bosch each accounted for two goals in the final game, while Darren Gillen and Mike Kaye also scored.

Leigh Spencer, Craig Vallette and Curtis Olsen scored for Shellbrook.

Game three in Waldheim on Friday night was the most exciting in the series, as neither team was willing to give an inch. Goaltenders at both ends of the ice, Aaron Stock for the Outlaws and Brenden Cuthbert for the Elks, made out-

standing saves at key times.

The teams were tied 2-2 after the first period and 3-3 after the second. There was no scoring in the third period or the first overtime period. Shane Callaghan scored the winner for Shellbrook late in the second overtime to force another game. Josh Peterson, Craig Vallette and Josh Belair scored the other markers for the Elks, while Mike Kaye, Kelly Friesen and Brennan Bosch tallied for Prairie. All the Outlaws’ goals were scored on the power play.

Sask Valley Vipers swept by dominant Terriers team in provincial final

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

It was a heart breaking loss for the Sask Valley Vipers after the team’s 6-1 defeat to the Yorkton Terriers in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League provincial final, March 25.

It was the second straight loss in the provincial final best-ofthree series.

On March 22nd the Terriers shut out the Vipers 3-0 in Yorkton, earning them the provincial title and a trip to the Western Bantam AAA Championship in Winnipeg.

Vipers coach Shaun Priel said the Terriers were a team with a lot of top end players that knew

15035STT02

how to sustain pressure during the entire game.

In the first period of Game 3 the Terriers Keenan Taphorn on a set up by Carson Miller didn’t waste any time shovelling a low shot inside the near post on the Vipers goaltender Jake Davidson to give the Terriers a 1-0 lead.

The lead was tied just over five minutes later when the Vipers Jaxon White tipped a shot set up

by Luke Reid and Matthew Conlon on the power play, but the Terriers Miller helped his team regain the lead with just under five minutes left in the period when he gloved the puck down in front and past Davidson to give the Vipers a 2-1 lead.

Only one goal was scored by

the Terriers in the second period when Kaeden Taphorn beat Davidson with a high shot on a set up by Reid Pereperuk on the power play to increase their lead by one.

In the third period the Terriers all but sealed their trip to Westerns when the Terriers Zach McIntyre, Brett Kemp adding to their lead and Kaeden Taphorn scored his second of the game in the 6-1 win.

It was a disappointing loss for the Vipers said Priel “It will take a couple of weeks or so to go by before we recognize the accomplishments of finishing second in the province,” said Priel. “It is a good but not great place to be because the ul-

timate goal is to win a championship but I think the kids should be proud of themselves.”

The difference in the final series was the shots on goal for the Vipers. In previous series against Humboldt and Prince Albert puck possession was a big part of their game.

The Vipers only managed 13 shots on the Terriers in game one and were outshot 56-15 in Game 2.

Priel said heading into the series he thought his team would be able to compete better.

“We didn’t play well in game

one. I thought we competed better in game two but I also thought the Terriers also played better so both teams elevated their game,” said Priel. “Had we played with this effort in game one it would have been a closer result and we would of had a better opportunity to win.”

If there was a player that deserved recognition it was Vipers goaltender Jake Davidson “He did what we expected him to do not to put high expectations on him but he is deemed as being one of the best young goaltenders in Western Canada so

when you have that label you expect him to step up and he did.

He played really well.”

It also wasn’t hard to notice Trent Keewatin’s physical presence on the ice slamming Terriers players hard into the boards and levelling others on open ice hits. Forward Austin Lamotte’s whose passion for the game was evident in his leading point totals of 9G, 2A in 10 playoff games.

Priel said he was happy with the Vipers success this season but not satisfied with the end result.

ponent, defeating the Stars three times during the regular season.

“Both Prince Albert and Swift Current played a very physical strong game and our girls really had to battle for every square inch of ice that they could get and they were able to come out on top,” said Slobodzian.

Having a supportive coaching staff and organization behind him was a big reason Slobodzian and his team were able to bring home the Stars’ first provincial banner in the

james@ccgazette.ca

The Saskatoon Stars Female Midget AAA hockey team had six local players help them capture their first provincial championship, March 25.

The Stars boasted a 24W-3L record during their regular season, won the Mac’s Female Midget Tournament in Calgary and went undefeated in nine games against Notre Dame, Swift Current and Prince Albert en route to their provincial crown.

What was unique about the championship was five girls on the team are from Clavet, including Kalista Senger, Rayna Jacobson, Willow Slobodzian, Mackenna Parker and Daniel Nogier.

Warman’s Jenna Nash and Delisle’s Abby Shirley are also a part of the championship team.

“We had a really young team. Two of the five Clavet girls were supposed to be playing bantam hockey but were too good to keep out of midget,” said Stars head coach Gregory Slobodzian. “It certainly demonstrated they were getting great coaching in that area.”

Slobodzian said he coached a few of the girls last year on a Clavet Cougars Bantam AA team that won provincials. He said every Clavet player earned their spot on the Stars roster.

“They are all great athletes, keen, willing to learn and always put their best foot forward every time they were out on the ice,” said Slobodzian.

“As a coach you are in a pret-

team’s nine-year franchise history.

He said he felt fortunate to have keen, young athletes because it is not always easy to attract those type of players.

“They have a lot of distractions in their lives, but for the girls to be as consistent as they were all year and not complain, all their hard work paid off,” said Slobodzian.

The next stop for the Stars will be challenging for the Esso Cup National Midget Female Championship, which will start in Red Deer, Alberta, April 19.

One of the things I try to teach is composure with the puck. We had girls when they received passes they were looking to make the next play instead of getting

Venture Heights’ Little Mermaid casts a musical spell on audience

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A timeless tale of true love and magic was brought to life by a cast of talented young performers last week.

Venture Heights School’s musical production of The Little Mermaid hit all the right notes with colourful costumes, catchy tunes and enough energy to fill the seven seas.

The stage musical is based on the Hans Christian Andersen story and the Disney cartoon movie about Prince Eric (Dylan Berk) who falls in love with the mermaid Ariel (Kaylee Gerbrandt) after hearing her beautiful voice from the deck of his ship. When he accidentally falls overboard, Ariel rescues him. The little mermaid later makes a pact with an evil mermaid, Ursula (Emma Ens) to forsake her watery home and become human.

Ariel trades in her fish tail for a pair of legs, but unexpectedly loses her voice in the bargain.

The story tells how she eventually wins he prince’s heart and recovers her dulcet pipes while overcoming evil forces with the help of her friends: Sebastian the crab (Kaelyn Coulthard), Scuttle the seagull (Rylan Gabruck) and Flounder the fish (Macy Sackmann).

Ariel the mermaid is both mischievous and vulnerable, and Kaylee Gerbrandt captures both sides of the character very well. Her delicate voice is a perfect fit for the music.

Emma Enns and Kaelyn Coulthard also give standout vocal performances. Enns is riveting as the evil Ursula, but Coulthard has a knack for stealing scenes as the hapless crab with a Caribbean accent. The highlight of the show was seeing Sebastian scrambling to escape the gleaming, sharp cleavers of a kitchen full of French chefs, all intent on serving crab for supper.

Dylan Berk as Prince Eric and Connor Hamelin as King Triton and the rest of the huge cast all did a great job.

Kaelyn Coulthard takes centre stage amidst the creatures of the deep as she sings “Under the Sea” during Venture Heights School’s production of The Little Mermaid

For youngsters in the audience who have never experienced live theatre before, seeing and hearing the scenes played out in front of their eyes by real people added a whole new dimension to the tale.

Director Craig Chase,, music director Lynne DriedgerEnns, Choreographer Nicole Lacoursiere, costume designer Karen Heit, set designer Evan Robson, and lighting-sound technician Jennifer Harland, along with supporting staff, did a tremendous job helping the kids pull off a demanding production in style.

With sixteen songs over the course of the play, and a cast of about 50 kids, this was a big project and involved hundreds of hours of work. But it was well worth it for the cast and crew when they were met with a standing ovation at the final curtain.

Twin Rivers Music Festival offer venue for large RM of MONTROSE No. 315 number of vocal, instrumental, choral performers public NOTicE

By TERRY PUGH

Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Montrose intends to amend a bylaw under the The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw 1983-02 known as the Zoning Bylaw.

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Twin Rivers Music Festival (TRMF) in Dalmeny celebrated its fourteenth season by attracting a record 308 entries in a variety of categories.

The week-long event began Monday, March 23 and wrapped up on Sunday, March 28 with a competition awards concert featuring top performers at the Dalmeny Community Church. An estimated 150 people attended the final concert.

“It’s been a very succesful festival,” said TRMF President Doreen Benson. “We had great participation from across our district, and we have seasoned, knowledgable adjudicators who provide constructive comments and really encourage the competitors.”

Jaclyn Froese won the TRMF Rose Bowl award for musical distinction, while Karis Mark won the outstanding junior performer award.

The festival featured a wide range of categories ranging from piano solo to choirs and bands.

“The involvement of school bands and school choirs is a very nice aspect of our festival,” said Benson. “The band component in particular is an area that we would really like to grow in our festival.”

The TRMF district includes the communities of Hepburn, Dalmeny, Langham, Martensville, Warman and Osler.

The festival not only provides a venue for musicians to perform, it also offers a considerable reward in the form of scholarships, said Benson.

“We have about $4.,000 in scholarships available to music students every year,” she said. “It’s a substantial amount.

A lot of those funds come from our sponsors, and many of them have been with us since Day One. Some of the funds come from donations as well. It all helps.”

INTENT The proposed amendment of Bylaw 1983-02 will amend the zoning district map to change from A – Agricultural District to AR – Agricultural Residential District all the land within the bold dashed line, and shown cross-hatched on the attached map.

AFFECTED LANDS The affected land is that portion of the NW 32-32-06-W3 shown within the bold dashed line and cross-hatched shaded on the Map forming part of this notice.

Oh So Close’ for CVAC at Hoopla 2015 Submitted by

GRANT ELKE

Extra-Curricular Coordinator Central Valley Athletic Conference

March is not only the time of university basketball madness north and south of the 49th, but also the time of SHSAA basketball across the province, culminating at HOOPLA, held, this year, in Saskatoon.

CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS

Conference playoffs began the second weekend in March.

In girls’ play, Asquith and Hepburn advanced to regionals from the 1A level, as did VCA, the conference 6 champions, and Hague from the 2A level. Clavet, the conference 3 winners, Delisle, and Dalmeny advanced from their 3A conference playoffs. In boys’ play, Hepburn won their 1A conference to advance, while Rosthern and Stobart moved forward in the 2A category.

At the 3A level, VCA, the conference champion, and Delisle also moved on to regional play. There were no 4A conference playoffs and CVAC had no teams entered into 5A play.

REGIONAL PLAYOFFS

The regional championships, held the following weekend, promised to be more challenging as only one team would advance to the ‘final four’ championship from each site. In 1A girls’ regionals, Hepburn was eliminated from advancing after a last second 57-56 loss to St. Walburg, but Asquith built on a convincing victory over Central Butte Friday night to defeat Lake Lenore 59-54 in the final, advancing to Hoopla. In 2A girls’ playoffs, Hague was eliminated after a tough loss to Regina Harvest City, but VCA advanced to the regional final with a convincing victory over Lashburn. Up against a strong Meath Park squad on its own court in the regional final, they

were unable to overcome the challenge, losing 93-65. At the 3A level, Dalmeny and Delisle were eliminated Friday by Caronport and Indian Head, respectively. Clavet, meanwhile, rolled through their regional playoff, scoring over 100 points against both Tisdale and Esterhazy and advancing to Hoopla. Finally, at the 4A level, Warman rolled over its opponents at regionals, handily defeating John Paul II and Moose Jaw Vanier, returning to Hoopla for another run at provincial gold.

In 1A boys’ regional play, Hepburn was eliminated from advancing by a very strong squad from Middle Lake. At the 2A level, Rosthern and Stobart advanced with one basket victories on Friday night to face the host schools in their regional finals on Saturday afternoon. Rosthern stepped up and defeated Balcarres 71-70 in a very exciting game, moving on to Hoopla 2015 in Saskatoon.

Unfortunately, Stobart was unable to do the same, losing to Saskatoon Ecole Canadienne 71-47. In 3A play, Delisle lost a tight match to Regina Harvest City on Friday, while VCA handily defeated Nipawin, matching them against Regina in the regional final. Experience and depth paid off for VCA, as they defeated Harvest City 76-57, punching their ticket to Hoopla 2015. Finally, at the 4A level, Warman defeated Yorkton Sacred Heart by 25 points on Friday night, but were unable to overcome injuries, losing to Moose Jaw Central 86-71 in their regional final.

FIVE TEAMS IN HOOPLA

Five teams advanced to Hoopla 2015 in Saskatoon from CVAC. In the 2A boys’ playoff. Rosthern was making their first appearance in years. They lost a tough match to top seeded St. Brieux on Friday, putting

them into the bronze medal game against Canora on Saturday. A strong effort was put forth, but the Huskies lost 7669, leaving them with dreams of returning next year.

In the 1A girls’ playoffs, Asquith lost on Friday to a strong squad from Kenaston, matching them against Kinistino in the third place game. A strong effort from the opening toss put Asquith ahead early. They did not ease off, defeating Kinistino 55-36 and capturing the 1A bronze medal.

THREE TEAMS IN FINALS

Three CVAC teams advanced to the finals at Hoopla 2015.

At the 4A level, Warman girls came out flying. They defeated Lumsden 76-70 on Friday night, pitting them against the top seeded Moose Jaw Peacock in the final. Warman jumped out to a commanding lead in the gold medal game, scoring 27 points in the first quarter. To their credit, Moose Jaw maintained their composure, and slowly but surely cut into the Wolverines lead. They eventually took control of the game, winning 75-65, reclaiming the title they won last year, and leaving Warman with silver medals draped around their necks.

In the 3A boys’ championship, VCA was involved in two of the most entertaining games at Hoopla this year. On Friday, they jumped out to an early lead, scoring 51 points in the opening half on their way to defeating Saskatoon Legacy Christian 86-80 in a physical fast paced game. Saturday evening saw them matched up in the final against the top seeded Regina Christian. This time it was Regina who jumped out to an early lead only to see VCA fight their way back into CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

Hoopla 2015 the game and take the lead themselves. The lead then exchanged hands for the remainder of the game. Unfortunately, foul trouble eventually took its toll as VCA had several starters foul out in the final minutes. Regina Christian escaped with an 85-82 victory, winning their second championship in three years and leaving the Lions with their second consecutive silver medal.

Finally, at the 4A girls’ level, Clavet Cougars came into the Final Four as the top seed.

They demonstrated their strength of play, defeating Assiniboia 68-39 in their semifinal, putting them into the final against Caronport, the

defending 4A champions. This game was one of, if not, the most tightly contested match of the weekend. The lead went back and forth with neither team able to take any significant control of the game. Eventually it came down to a shot made or a shot missed, as Caronport upset Clavet 67-66, leaving CVAC with its third silver medal of the day.

Another exciting season ended with tears of joy and frustration. Congratulations to all the coaches and players who put forth their best efforts for themselves, their teammates, and their schools. CVAC looks forward to seeing and hearing about your successes in the future.

Ice buildup on North Sask River prompts flood risk warning from WSA The Water Security Agency (WSA) is advising the public of ice conditions on the Battle River near North Battleford.

Recent inspections by WSA show a significant buildup of ice at the confluence of the Battle and North Saskatchewan Rivers. This creates an increased risk of potential flooding.

Currently flows the Battle River are roughly 50 cubic metres per second (cms). These flows are not expected to reach the 2011 level of 104 cms but have the potential to cause out-of-bank flow, particularly in areas with lower lying areas.

In the past, ice jams have occurred closer to

the confluence with the North Saskatchewan River and affected Highway 4.

The Water Security Agency is asking the public to exercise caution when working on or near the river as ice jams have the potential to quickly cause flooding and create hazardous conditions. Water flows out of Alberta on the Battle River have been increasing over the past week and are expected to peak in the next few days.

These flows combined with the local inflows expected to begin over the weekend will result in the peak flows arriving at Battleford early next week.

Procurement plan aimed at fairness for Saskatchewan businesses The government is taking decisive action through the new Procurement Transformation Action Plan to ensure there is an open, fair and transparent bidding environment for Sask. businesses, and that taxpayers receive best value.

“Our government is committed to ensuring Saskatchewan businesses are treated fairly, respectfully, and consistently,” Minister responsible for SaskBuilds Gordon Wyant said. “We are taking immediate action to ensure there is a level playing field for local businesses and to ensure contracting is strategic so taxpayers get the best possible value.”

The action plan’s initiatives are based on input

from more than 140 Saskatchewan businesses, associations, municipalities, colleges and universities, and other government partners.

“The plan looks at procurement from all angles,” Wyant said. “Everything was on the table from simplifying documentation and language, to awarding contracts on best value versus lowest cost, and ensuring we use all available room in the trade agreements to benefit Saskatchewan businesses.”

“This is a bold plan based on Canadian best practices,” Saskatoon Meewasin MLA and Legislative Secretary for Priority Saskatchewan Roger Parent said.

Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart has announced the establishment of a new humane society to provide enforcement of The Animal Protection Act in Saskatchewan.

The Ministry of Agriculture has reached a two year funding agreement with Animal Protection Services of Saskatchewan, a non-profit corporation, to provide animal protection services beginning April 1, 2015. The agreement provides the organization $610,000 a year for investigative services.

The Saskatchewan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Saskatchewan SPCA) announced earlier this year that it would not renew its contract with the ministry for animal protection services after March 31, 2015, due to its decision to focus on programs and services related to education and the prevention of animal cruelty.

Starting April 1, there will be a new toll-free

phone number, 1-844-382-0002, for reporting cases of animal abuse. The website is www.animalprotectionservices.ca, and the general email address is info@animalprotectionservices.ca.

“We look forward to continuing our work in protecting the health and well-being of animals,” Animal Protection Services of Saskatchewan Executive Director Kaley Pugh said. “We are working closely with Saskatchewan SPCA to ensure a smooth transition of enforcement services.”

“We welcome the new organization and the role it will play in supporting good animal husbandry practices, which are of utmost importance to our industry,” Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association Chair Bill Jameson said.

The ministry will continue to engage stakeholders to ensure animal protective services are effectively enforced across the province.

flowing colours Over 300 athletes, coaches and managers packed Warman High School on Saturday, March 28 to present the last of two big performances showcased annually by the Prairie Ribbons Rhythmic Gymnastics Club.

Prairie Ribbons is a community based rhythmic gymnastics club with athletes who range in age from three and up, including an adult class. They provide training at all levels from beginner to senior and feature several performing groups. All of the classes are noncompetitive and are lots of fun!

Rhythmic Gymnastics is a blend of movement, music and hand apparatus’ such as balls, ribbons, hoops, ropes, scarves and many other items. This program increases and promotes flexibility, coordination, self-esteem and team work.

Pictured left: The Buttercups (ages 5-7) group perform their routine.
