Nancy Onderwater casts a line into the South Saskatchewan River at the Clarkboro Ferry crossing on Friday, April 10. Onderwater, along with companion Mike Devine and their dog were enjoying the warm spring temperatures and bright sunshine. With the ice gradually disappearing from the river, the ferry (seen in the background) will likely soon be back in operation.

Lack of water supply hampers firefighters’ efforts to control Corman Park fire

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Firefighters from four communities teamed up to battle a grass and brush fire that threatened a large number of farms and acreages in the southwestern part of the RM of Corman Park on Friday, April 10.

Dalmeny Fire Rescue (DFR) was initially dispatched to the scene shortly after 3:00 p.m.

While enroute, Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder said he could see the plume of smoke from several kilometers away, so he immediately called for backup from the Langham and Martensville fire departments.

The Saskatoon Fire Department also supplied two vehicles to help battle the stubborn blaze, which was fanned by a moderate southwesterly breeze.

At one point, the provincial Office of the Fire Commissioner’s rapid response team was called to assist, but because of the large number of other, higher-priority fires burning at the time, that request was later cancelled.

The blaze started near some outbuildings on an acreage near the intersection of Range Road 3075 and Township Road 372. By the time the first fire trucks arrived, an older trailer and a small outbuilding were already fully engulfed in flames, said Elder.

FIrefighters concentrated their initial efforts on preventing the fire from spreading to a nearby dwelling. They also worked to keep the blaze from jumping Range Road 3075.

The task was complicated because of the lack of nearby water supplies for tanker trucks, and also because of the abundance of dry grass, brush and poplar bluffs.

“The brush has a lot of fire load that probably hasn’t burned through for a while,” said Elder in an interview at the scene. “The low humidity and the higher temperature make the fire behave more erratically, or burn more spontaneously. Anytime the temperature is higher than the humidity, it makes for an explosive situation.

“It was tough slogging through the bush trying to exCONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Province approves 5 per quarter bylaws in Corman Park

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park officially announced provincial approval of their 5 per quarter Bylaws 25/14 and 26/14 during a council meeting April 7.

The next steps for the RM will be to review the list of multi-parcel country residential applications received during the 2013 call for proposals and update the status of those applications.

However, this review will not happen right away, said Rebecca Row, Director of Planning and Development for the RM of Corman Park.

“In order to have a fair process, RM Administration will not begin to process the subdivision applications until we have received our municipal acknowledgement letter along with a file number from Community Planning,” said Row. The RM of Corman Park council approved both bylaws, which were the 5 per quarter, or 3 per 80 acre, residential bylaw amendments and severed parcels policy in July, 2014.

Administration then submitted a bylaw package to the Community Planning Branch of the Ministry of Government Relations for consideration.

At the end of September 2014, Community Planning referred the bylaws to their referral agencies for comment. In February 2015, a meeting between RM representatives, Ministry of Agriculture and provincial agricultural producers associations was held. They also responded to the Town of Dalmeny’s request to change a portion of their exclusion area boundary.

The Community Planning Branch gave ministerial approval to the Bylaws on March 20. The RM received the approved Bylaws on March 31, 2015.

The purpose of amending Bylaw 25/14 was to allow up to four small residential building sites on a quarter section, plus a residential building site on the balance of the quarter.

On 80-acre parcels, the bylaws will allow up to two small residential building sites plus a residential building site on the

balance of the 80-acre parcel.

The amendment also identified a 5 per quarter Constraints Overlay area that restricts single parcel country residential policy amendments in overlay areas to proposed highway corridors (perimeter highway), flood-prone lands and urban municipalities growth plans.

A severed parcels policy was added, which will allow for a potential subdivision to create a separate and independent land title on parcels severed as a result of a natural or manmade feature such as a river, permanent water body, railway or roadway.

Intensive livestock Operators (ILOs) will also have setback distances amended from the property boundary of the land being utilized instead of the area of confinement for animals.

A Business Development Review (BDR) will be one of the integral pieces of the application process, said Row. The BDR provides the RM with a summary of the land use, servicing, access and hazard lands created and submit-

ted by an applicant to support their subdivision and rezoning application.

Row said in densely population RM divisions, residents should be aware that a HydroGeological Study from the Saskatchewan Health Region may be required as part of the BDR. “We just want to make sure that people are aware of some of these requirements early on in the process and that’s why we think a BDR checklist will encourage us to contact some of these people, maybe phone the health region and give them their legal land location,” said Row. Division 6 Councilor Bas Froese-Kooijenga had concerns about the constraint area, specifically developments in the P4G process.

Adam Tittemore, RM of Corman Park Administrator, said there are different aspects to modifying a constraint area.

Using the example of the RM’s Flood Plain constraint area in Division 4, he said the RM, in partnership with the Water Security Agency, would have to

complete an evaluation study.

If the study yielded positive results the constraints area could be removed. Tittemore said the same is true when the Perimeter Highway’s southeast route is determined.

Division 1 Councilor John Germs said it is getting difficult for him to hold his tongue in PG4 meetings when dealing with future urban planning in the RM. In previous council meetings Germs has said any available land in the RM of Corman Park is being thought of as a urban land bank for the City of Saskatoon and likens the constraint area as a wall that hinders residents who live inside it.

The RM expects many questions from residents in the coming months.

Tittemore said future meetings will be held for local producers. The RM Administration plans on recommending a half day session with council to discuss the status of the applications prior to its next Planning Committee meeting in early May.

Tornado Hunter Ricky Forbes of Martensville spoke to students at Venture Heights School on Monday, April 13

Tornado Hunter makes impact with students at old stomping grounds

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Mother Nature can cook up quite a storm when she’s in the mood, and Martensville native Ricky Forbes likes nothing better than being in her kitchen when a good tornado is brewing.

One of the stars of the popular television series “Tornado Hunter,� Forbes grew up in Martensville and attended Venture Heights School. After graduating from Martensville High School, he earned a Commerce degree at the University of Saskatchewan.

But it wasn’t long till Forbes traded in his suit and tie for a life of adventure. A lifelong outdoor enthusiast, Forbes hooked up with photographer Greg Johnson and videographer Chris Chittick to launch Tornado Hunter, now entering its fourth season of filming.

Forbes handles the driving and navigation duties as the team spends six months of each year tracking storms and getting as close as humanly possible to tornadoes.

He’s no stranger to “Tornado Alley.� In fact, he says, this part of Saskatchewan is the northern tip of the region of North America famous for some of the most powerful storms in the world.

On Monday, April 13, Forbes

was back in his home town where he spoke to students at Venture Heights School. Even though he speaks at roughly 100 schools every year, this one was special, he said. “I went to Venture Heights School in Grades 5 to 8,� he said in an interview. “This was my school from 1996 to 1999. It’s amazing coming back to my old stomping grounds. I remember being in this gym where I played sports and listened to presentations, and now to be giving a presentation here is absolutely amazing.�

Forbes said his presentations walk a fine line between conveying the adrenaline-pumping excitement of being on the front lines of storm-chasing; and educating his audience about how dangerous these storms can be.

They’re awe-inspiring subjects for photographers, but they can also bring death and devastation on entire communities. “First and foremost in my school presentations, I’m there to share stories from my career of storm chasing,� said Forbes. “But I also talk about severe weather and explain to the kids how to protect themselves. I don’t speak about the devastation, not because it’s not important, but because it’s a very dark side of the issue and the kids are a little too young for that kind of stuff.�

Forbes said he focuses on the “fun� side of weather in order to stimulate kids’ interest in nature and the outdoors. “If you’re anywhere near a tornado you want to get indoors, get downstairs, in the smallest room or under the stairs,� he said. “Someplace where you have some protection. In our truck, we have the latest technology to track these storms, and we’re trained professionals. We have basically a bullet-proof truck and years of experience. It looks easy, but there’s a lot more to it.�

Even the best-prepared storm chasers can get caught offguard, he said. During his presentation, he recalled an incident two years ago where the team got caught in the biggest tornado ever recorded, in Oklahoma. They had to drive through the storm and were pelted with softball-size hail.

Their truck was literally lifted off the ground, but fortunately landed on all four wheels and was still able to be driven.

Forbes said he recalls seeing a three-ton grain truck flying through the air. Fortunately, it landed some distance away. “Yeah, it gets a little scary at times,� he said with a grin. “But it’s exciting. And I really like to convey that excitement to the kids during presentations like this.�

Fire threatened acreages tinguish the flames and keep hot spots from flaring up.”

Elder said there were no serious injuries, although firefighters and the landowners had to contend with very heavy smoke.

“The priority was protecting dwellings,” said Elder. “It took a while to get it under control but we were able to get the upper hand and prevent it from spreading. My concern was if the fire jumped the road it would have taken off because of the tangle of bush and long grass and underbrush. There are a lot of acreages with dwellings and outbuildings. It’s fairly high density and there could have been a lot of damage.”

Firefighters used wildland fire trucks and also fought the fire on foot. Water supplies had to be brought in by truck from Langham and Saskatoon.

THREATENS HOMES

Adam Sawatzky, a resident who lives on a nearby acreage, kept a close eye on the situation

Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder directs firefighters’ resources as they work to contain a stubborn grassfire April 10

as firefighters worked to contain the smouldering blaze. He said he had a dozen horses that would have to be moved quickly if the fire jumped the road.

Other acreages in the area also have a lot of animals that would be in danger if the fire escalated, he said.

Sawatzky said he and his father, Wayne, were working in their yard about three o’clock when they smelled smoke. His father left the yard on an errand, and five minutes later the air was thick with blue smoke, said Sawatzky.

“I walked out back and saw the big plume of smoke,” said Sawatzky. “Dad used to be a volunteer firefighter with Langham about ten or fifteen years ago, so I knew for a fact he’d be in there. He knows what he’s doing. He called us to let us know he was helping out and he was fine. The Dalmeny Fire Department showed up shortly after that.”

The fire destroyed a chicken coop and an older trailer, and

several animals perished in the blaze, but it could have been much worse, said Elder. He said the cause of the fire was not yet determined.

Elder said people need to be careful at this time of year if they are contemplating a con-

A delegation of representatives from Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) addressed the RM of Corman Park Council April 7.

George Janzen, who represents Subdivision 4, which includes Dalmeny’s Prairie View Elementary, Dalmeny High School, Hepburn School, Osler School and Valley Christian Academy, said the entirety of Corman Park is contained within PSSD. He said the board has become aware of their need to do a better job of talking to their municipal partners to make them aware of the issues.

Ken Crush, who represents Subdivision 3 on the PSSD Board, which includes Borden School, Langham Elementary and Walter W. Brown High School in Langham, said with a division that boasts the highest graduation rate in the province at 87 per cent and leads the province with First Nation student graduation rates, the divi-

sion deserves more respect in terms of operational funding from the province.

Crush said problems first started to build for PSSD in 2012 when the province switched to a different funding model.

“The model was designed to bring equity to school divisions across the province, but since 2012 that is when our budgets have really struggled,” said Crush. “Prior to that we were able to manage by doing some cutting and fine tuning; we were able to make it work.”

The progressive lack of operational funding has caused PSSD to cut $2 million and carry over $3 million from its reserves in last year’s budget, while this year Crush estimates the division will be short by $6 million, which the division has been able to cut back by $3.2 million. However, Crush said this will affect teacher programs in their schools.

“It is getting to the point now that children are beginning to

suffer in schools,” said Crush.

“What we are saying to the government is that you have to provide your share.”

Janzen said over the years PSSD has offered students a credible educational alternative for communities north of Saskatoon.

“Saskatoon [School Divisions] are not our competition by any means, but they factor into a lot of our decisions. We compete to some extent with them,” said Janzen. “If our schools don’t offer the proper programming our high school students can move there.”

Crush said funding for new students will not be recognized until a year later, but with a division that accepts 300 to 400 additional students in its division each year, it is could cost PSSD an extra $2 million dollars because they would have to hire 10 to 15 teachers to accommodate the students into existing classrooms.

In a recent meeting with Premier Brad Wall and other area stakeholders, Crush expressed

his concern about the province’s operational funding model.

Corman Park Division 2 Councilor Michelle Chuhaniuk, a retired school administrator for Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools Division, said lack of operational funding for schools is not a new problem.

“It is really unfortunate there is no research to support the fact that students coming in mid-year to a classroom does carry significant stress and weight on the classroom itself, teacher and educational assistants,” said Chuhaniuk.

Division 7 Councilor Joanne Janzen said with the Division’s annual increase in student population, she hopes the Division will continue to hold the province’s feet to the fire on this issue.

Notion of Senate abolition taking hold The notion of simply abolishing the Senate used to be just an NDP idea; one that allowed New Democrats to condescendingly condemn the other parties who clearly had abused the institution.

Because the federal NDP have never come close to Ottawa’s spoils of power, it was always rather easy for New Democrats to preach their sanctimony about the “old line” parties being in the business for the pay off.

However, the problem for those who had the privilege of watching NDP governments up close like here in Saskatchewan is that they just weren’t any better at avoiding the temptation of rewarding friends and family with taxpayer-funded jobs.

Of course, many voters shared the NDP’s sentiments on the Senate, anyway. After all, voters in places like Saskatchewan aren’t exactly stupid and could see for themselves the uselessness of the so-called chamber of sober-second thought.

Sure, there were those in this province and further west who have toyed with the notion of a Triple-E Senate. But the notion ANGELA HEIDEL

Provincial Politics

of an elected, equal and effective Senate died about the time old Reformers decided that they had no interest in carrying forward virtually any of the ideals they might have had to the new Conservative party under Stephen Harper.

And as long as the Senate acted in a rather benign manner, most people in Saskatchewan really thought the constitutional fight required to end its existence simply wasn’t worth the trouble.

So perhaps it’s a little surprising that Saskatchewan; which hasn’t elected any NDP MPs in 15 years and has virtually no interest in seeing a provincial NDP government any time in the near future; is now one the places that seems to most endorse the NDP idea of abolishing the Senate.

According to a recent Angus Reid poll, 41 per cent of Canadians want to see the Senate abol-

ished while another 45 per cent still would prefer to see it reformed. Only a mere 14 per cent of Canadians see value in keeping the status quo.

Of even more interest is that Manitoba, Quebec and Saskatchewan were the only provinces where a slim majority prefer to see abolition of the Senate.

One reason why this might be the case in Saskatchewan is maybe because NDP sentiments run slightly deeper than most realize.

Another reason is that the idea of abolition has received a shining endorsement from conservative-minded Premier Brad Wall, although Wall’s notion of simply stopping the appointment of Senators and waiting until Senators retire or die off seems a little unlikely.

Whatever the reason, this can’t be is particularly great news for Harper; even in places like Saskatchewan where his Conservatives have enjoyed a virtual stranglehold.

The problem right now is that the worst in both Senate entitlement and backdoor political dealing is on display for the next month and a half as Mike Duffy’s bribery and expense

fraud trial plays out.

Sure, there may be little left of Duffy’s reputation, given the first-day-of-the trial stories of budget meetings at the Vancouver Yacht Club or expenses to pick out a puppy or see his daughter in a play and claiming expenses even before he was appointed.

So much for Duffy’s line that Senate rules were just too confusing.

That said, it now appears obvious that Harper will have a very difficult time distancing himself from Duffy. It was Harper who appointed Duffy, knowing full well he didn’t even live in P.E.I. It was Harper who engaged Duffy as a Conservative fundraiser.

And after just one day, it is Harper who has been splattered by the mud Duffy’s defense is starting to fling, beginning with Duffy’s claim he was told his claims were legal and well within the rules, but should be paid back anyway because of the political perception.

The long-stewing resentment over Senate entitlement has come to a boil and Harper risks being scalded.

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.

Warman Emergency Operations Centre training session simulates real-life disaster

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The scene: A quiet spring morning in Warman. The air temperature is a crisp 5 degrees, but it’s sunny and clear, with just a slight breeze from the north. The commuter traffic in and out of the city is at its peak.

Suddenly, the quiet is shattered by the piercing whistle of a freight train. Moments later comes the ear-splitting sound of the locomotive’s brakes, and a nano-second later a grinding crash of metal on metal.

A two-engine freight has just collided with a 32-passenger school bus at the CN main line’s level crossing at 6th Avenue. The impact carries the bus some distance down the track and several of the train’s tanker cars are derailed. One of those cars is punctured, and a greenish cloud of gas can be seen pouring out of the side of the tanker.

Warman firefighter Greg Baker mans the radio during EOC training session April 8

Diving into the deep end is one way to get your feet wet.

Warman Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) volunteers were called into action early Wednesday morning, April 8, for their first full-scale disaster training scenario.

The city’s Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), a dedicated room in the Warman Fire

Hall equipped with communications equipment and specialized areas for Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance, was the scene of intense activity as two dozen civic employees, elected officials and volunteers manned battle stations to deal with a simulated disaster.

Or rather, three simulated disasters at once. A motor vehicle-train collision, a derailment, and a dangerous goods leak. Each of these three alone would tax the resources of most community’s emergency responder groups. Dealing with all three simultaneously was a massive challenge.

But that was all part of the plan, according to Warman EMO Coordinator Randy Meginbir.

“We looked at several different possible scenarios,” said Meginbir in an interview after the intense two and a half hour training session ended. “We looked at inclement weather like a tornado, which is a highrisk possibility here. But we decided on the railway accident because there is a high population of students and school buses passing through this community every day, and we’re also seeing an increase in railway traffic.

“This is something that could potentially happen, al-

though we purposely made it an absolute worst-case scenario. This training session was all about familiarizing people with their roles and responsibilities, and getting everyone to work together as a team to get the job done to the best of everyone’s ability.”

Warman Assistant EMO Coordinator Chad Makulowich said the tabletop simulation took several days to plan, and included the involvement of CN Rail dangerous goods specialists, City of Saskatoon emergency measures officials,, and representatives of the provincial Office of the Fire Commissioner.

Makulowich noted that very few of the Warman EOC volunteers had any experience in an actual disaster, and the simulation was designed to make people realize the gravity of situations they could be faced with in real life.

“We were trying to have a situation that was unexpected,” said Makulowich. “It was a little overwhelming, but once everyone realized what the overall objectives were and what their roles were, it really started to come together. I think it was a good first attempt, and CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Emergency training exercise

Tax increase, borrowing enable Martensville to invest in capital projects

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The average homeowner in Martensville will be paying about $115 more on the municipal portion of their property tax bill in 2015.

Martensville City Council adopted its 2015 budget at its regular meeting on Tuesday, April 7. The budget combined an average 5 per cent property tax hike with some additional borrowing to balance the books.

The city will take in an estimated $13.5 million in revenues and spend the same amount in operating and capital expenditures.

Martensville Mayor Kent

Muench described the financial plan as “a fair and balanced budget” that “recognizes the needs of a growing city by providing appropriate investment in infrastructure and other capital improvements, while keeping an eye on the future requirements of a growing and vibrant community.”

The budget boosts the mill rate by .43 mills, which translates into a tax increase of approximately $115 annually for the average residential property owner.

The city estimates the municipal revenue will increase by approximately 5 per cent, or about $308,000.

The municipal tax base for

2015 remains unchanged from the 2014 rate of $615.

The garbage and recycling fees, also known as the environmental health service (EHS) levy, rises by $15 from $165 (2014) to $180 (2015).

The city residential tax levy (mill rate) is increasing from 5.60 (2014) to 6.03 (2015).

The special levy for the city’s future wastewater treatment facility remains unchanged at $75 annually.

The school tax levy of 5.03 mills for residential and 8.28 mills for commercial/industrial is set by the provincial government and is not included in the above figures.

The city’s final budget in-

volved some difficult decisions by council, according to Martensville Finance Director Lorraine Postma.

In an interview on Friday, April 10, Postma said the city is relying on a combination of increased borrowing, higher tax revenue, and funds from the provincial revenue-sharing grant to balance the budget.

She noted that capital investment in infrastructure accounts for a big part of the municipal expenses this year.

The city’s growth has resulted in an increase in the value of its residential and commercial assessment, which rose from $3.777 million to $4.011 million this year.

“That increase in assessment is simply from growth alone,” said Postma.

The revenue-sharing grant from the province rose from $1.5958 million in 2014 to $1.648 in 2015. That wasn’t a huge increase, but it definitely helped the city’s bottom line, said Postma, noting the city was relieved the grant was not cut.

“It would have made a big difference if it had gone the other way,” she said.

Postma said the budget was a difficult one because of the large number of infrastructure improvements slated for this year.

“You have to make sure you have enough capacity to han-

dle the increased growth,” she said. “Basic things like water, sewer and streets all have to be able to handle the load they’re expected to carry. And also, you have to set aside reserves to replace that infrastructure as it ages.

“There are also big projects coming up in the future, like the regional waste-water system, that need to be taken into account.”

Over the past year, the city has financed a number of major projects, including construction of the Martensville Athletic Pavilion and the purchase of 250 acres of raw land for future development and land for two new schools.

Warman prepares to implement emergency notification system

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The City of Warman is poised to roll out a community-wide electronic alert system aimed at notifying residents of emergency situations. The system is also designed to provide essential, factual information when time is of the essence.

The Warman “Notify Now” system is modelled on a similar initiative already in place in the City of Saskatoon, and is completely voluntary, according to Warman Economic Development Officer Josh Welz.

“From a municipal standpoint, it’s incredibly important for us to get information out to people as quickly as possible,” said Welz in an interview on Friday, April 10. “This provides a reliable, readily-accessible system that can reach everyone through a variety of channels.”

Welz, who also serves as the

city’s Primary Information Officer (PIO) in cases when a state of local emergency is declared, said the Warman Notify Now system will be officially rolled out on Friday, May 1. Residents and businesses can log onto the City of Warman website and subscribe to the system by clicking on the red “Notify Now” button.

“Essentially what it does is it allows residents to self-register,” said Welz.

“When you register you state what type of notifications you would like to be informed of, so it can be anything from emergency notifications, such as drinking water advisories or emergency situations like a local disaster. It can even be more mundane things like meetings of council.”

The alerts can be conveyed through cell phone texts, emails or cell phone voice alerts, said Welz.

Warman Economic Development Officer Josh Welz and Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence discuss strategy for disseminating information during a Emergency Operations CEntre training exercise last week TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

“The nice thing is it is strictly about notifications,” said Welz. “It’s not a marketing campaign and it’s not an advertising thing. It is strictly for the benefit of the citizens. When you sign up you indicate how

you want to be notified, and what you want to be notified of.”

Welz said the city’s emphasis on bolstering its EMO preparedness also provides an opportunity for citizens to step

Emergency training exercise provides experience we are hoping to have more of these training sessions in the months to come.”

The Warman EOC is structured according to international protocols established after 2001. Each person performs assigned tasks according to where they fit into the overall structure: In simple terms: The “Operations” sector includes the “do-ers” - the fire and rescue personnel, EMS, police and other emergency responders who are involved at ground level dealing with the immediate needs of disaster victims, families and the community; The “Planning” sector are the “thinkers” - the ones anticipating what the next steps are, anticipating what else could happen and formulating plans for meeting the future needs of people in distress and the people helping them; The “Logistics” sector includes the “getters” - the people who bring in and set up the facilities and equipment needed to deal with the emergency.

The “Finance” sector includes the folks who track the costs and supplies and sort out who pays for what in the aftermath of the disaster and cleanup.

The training scenario was conducted in “real time” for the first hour or so. Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin, who helped devise the scenario with the EMO coordinators, was posted outside the EOC and communicated via radio. For the purpose of the simulation, he was reporting from the scene of the disaster, and the information coming over the radio had a chilling impact on his listeners as he described the fatalities and “walking wounded.”

Austin noted that in an emergency situation in Warman during a weekday, the fire department is short of people.

“We would be very taxed,” said Austin. “For the purposes of the simulation, I had six members responding. And it turned out that is the exact number that we did have available earlier this morning when a real call came in just before the training exercise was scheduled to get underway.”

The RCMP detachment was likewise stretched to the limit of its resources, according to Warman RCMP Staff Sergeant Kevin Weber.

“It would take about an hour and a half to muster the twenty members we would have available,” said Weber. “And that includes pulling members in from as far away as Radisson.”

Warman City Manager Stan Westby, who serves as EOC Director, described the training

exercise as “an intense experience” and noted it showed areas of strength, but also areas where improvements need to be made.

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said the city council has chosen to put financial and other civic resources into beefing up the EMO preparedness level, particularly with a fullystocked EOC. “The EMO in Warman has really evolved within the last couple of years to a point where it is a much higher priority,” said Spence. “Randy Meginbir has made a strong case for preparation, and council has endorsed that approach and showed that willingness by put-

forward as EMO volunteers.

“During the training exercise we had on April 8, one thing that became very clear very early on is that we will need volunteers to help out dur-

ing emergency situations,” said Welz. “More information on how people can get involved as a volunteer with the EMO will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead.”

PUBLIC NOTICE Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park No. 344 intends to adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw No. 9/94, known as the RM of Corman Park Zoning Bylaw.

New homes are under construction in the Lake Vista neighbourhood in Martensville

New home construction in Warman, Martensville continues at healthy pace during first part of 2015

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The pace of new residential and commercial construction in Warman and Martensville showed no sign of slowing down in the first three months of 2015.

Statistics supplied by the City of Warman show there were 47 building permits issued for single and multi-family dwellings in Warman from the period January 1 to April 13, 2015.

The total value of those new residential buildings amounts to $12,670,700.

Warman also saw three building permits issued dur-

ing that period for commercial structures, with a total value of $2,320,000.

A total of 72 permits for residential decks, garages, basement and additions were issued so far this year, with a combined value of $16,715,600.

Last year was one of the most active for Warman in terms of construction activity. The total value of construction in 2014 was over $132 million. There were 303 building permits issued for single and multi-family dwellings in Warman in 2014, as well as 40 permits for commercial buildings.

MARTENSVILLE PERMITS

Martensville also recorded

a steady pace for building permits, although the numbers are lower than Warman.

There were a total of nine permits issued for single family dwellings in Martensville between January 1 and March 31, 2015, according to figures supplied by the City of Martensville. In addition, there were eight multi-family dwelling permits issued.

A total of 31 permits were issued for residential additions, and seven commercial/industrial building permits were approved.

The total value of all permits in Martensville for the first three months of 2015 was $5,378,420.

Martensville had a total of 56 single family dwellings and 40 multi-family dwellings begin construction in 2014. There were also 10 commercial/industrial buildings.

The total value of building permits in Martensville in 2014 amounted to $47,204,622.

The meeting will be held to receive and discuss the reports of the Division Board, Director of Education, Auditor and any other statements and communications relating to the affairs of the School Division for the previous school year.

Saskatoon region housing starts dip slightly Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 3,063 units in March compared to 3,150 in February, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)(1) of total housing starts.

“The trend in total housing starts edged lower in March following a declining trend in both single-detached and multifamily starts. The current pace of housing starts is in line with CMHC’s expectation that rising inventory and moderating economic fundamentals will prompt local home builders to scale back production in 2015,”

Saskatchewan leads nation in yearly wage growth rate

Saskatchewan had the highest percentage year-over-year wage growth in the country in January 2015, up 4.9 per cent over January 2014 (seasonally adjusted), well ahead of the 3.0 per cent growth posted nationally, according to Statistics Canada “The Saskatchewan economy remains strong, which in turn allows employers to increase wages for Saskatchewan people,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Compared to other jurisdictions in Canada, we are continuing to do very well.”

In January 2015, Saskatchewan’s average weekly earnings were $987.51 (seasonally adjusted), the third highest among the provinces behind Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador. Nationally, the average was $947.68.

The three industries with the highest year-over-year percentage growth in earnings (seasonally adjusted) are arts, entertainment and recreation (up 13.0 per cent), information and cultural industries (up 12.0 per cent) and transportation and warehousing (up 11.6 per cent).

said Goodson Mwale, CMHC’s Senior Market Analyst for Saskatchewan.

CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples seg-

ment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR was 2,527 units in March, down from 3,371 in February. While the SAAR measure declined from the previous month, total actual housing starts in March increased significantly compared to the previous year after local home builders initiated 123 multifamily units compared to 4 in March 2014.

t he Big d n i h e B Doors ! w o l l e Y

Bicycle riders from across Canada and the province are gearing up for the second annual Prairie Gran Fondo cycling event in Saskatoon on Sunday, July 5.

The event features four distance routes including the 40 km Piccolo and 73 km Medio, 115 km Gran Fondos. If that didn’t get your heart pumping, a new 165 km Gran Fondo Plus race will debut this year All routes will start at the German Cultural Club and take riders across the South Saskatchewan River; west along Valley Road to Highway 60 and Pike Lake; and finally a visit to the Town of Delisle; where riders can participate in a sprint down the main street of Delisle before refuelling at the Delisle rest stop.

From Delisle, riders will retrace their route along Valley Road back to Saskatoon. After crossing the bridge they’ll head south on Highway 219 to the Dakota Dunes Casino.

On their ride out to Dakota Dunes, riders will further challenge themselves by traveling around Range Road 3055/ Twp Rd 352 loop in a 5KM section and possibly a timed climb up the short but steep Casino hill. After a well-deserved rest at the Dakota Dunes Casino rest stop, riders will continue back to Saskatoon.

Ron Mantyka, who is president of the Saskatoon Cycling Association and a representative of Saskatoon’s Horizon 100 Cycling Club, said the goal of the event is to combine a race with the atmosphere of a festival.

“Three years ago we decided that there really is no celebration of the prairie landscape in terms of cycling so what we decided to do was step up the game,” said Mantyka. “We decided to really feature the prairie landscape and the opportunity to ride.”

Last year the event attracted an age demographic of riders from 4 to 74 and surpassed its goal of 200 participants. This year Canadian Cycling Maga-

zine rated the Saskatoon race in the top ten Grand Fondo races cyclists should participate in. As a result, organizers plan to increase that registration number to 500 this year and plan to double it every year afterward.

Mantyka addressed the RM of Corman Park council on April 7 to ask for a temporary speed reduction on Valley Road from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. In his presentation he alleviated council’s concerns about cyclists using a portion of the road for a leg of the race.

Judy Harwood, Reeve of Corman Park, expressed concerns about vehicles who can sometimes reach speeds from 110 to 120 km/hour on Valley Road when the speed limit is only 90 km/hour.

Mantyka said the shoulder widths along Valley Road work in cyclists’ favour.

“We are able to keep the cyclists well within the shoulder of the road, but you do make an excellent point,” said Mantyka. “It is something that we are talking about with the RCMP in terms of a presence to try and keep control of the speed.”

Mantyka said organizers have cooperation from the Saskatoon Police and are in discussions with the RCMP and Corman Park Police about having an escorted police presence along the route.

Mantyka said organizers of the race will also have volunteers stationed at different points to help direct riders along the race route.

Corman Park Police Chief John Garnet has no objections to reducing the speed limit on Valley Road from 90 km/h to 60 km/h under condition that organizers post signs along the route during the race’s scheduled time on April 7.

Harwood said local businesses in the RM could see a benefit from the race.

“There is going to be a lot of people and that is a good thing.

I think it is good for the city and good for all of us,” said Harwood. “We will have to decide on how we are going to let our ratepayers know when it will take place.”

Food for Thought “SUGAR”

FiTn eSS Ti

Which plays a greater role in high blood pressure & cardiovascular disease (CVD): SUGAR OR SALT? If your answer was “salt” you are wrong, says authors of a published study in the only journal Open Heart. Added sugars, particularly fructose, in processed foods are likely to have a greater role in high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke than added salt.

Both the American and Canadian Heart Association defines added sugars as “sugar and syrups that are added to foods or beverages during processing or preparation” and says that “names for added sugars include agave syrup, brown sugar, corn sweetener, corn syrup, sugar molecules ending in “ose” (dextrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose) high fructose corn syrup, fruit juice concentrate, •Fitness Assessments honey, invert sugar, malt sugar, molasses, raw sugar, sugar and syrup.

•Gift Certificates The average person, according to the Canadian and American Heart Association consume 24 –47 teaspoons of added sugar per day.

This is well above the AHA-recommended daily intake of only 6 teaspoons per day for women and 9 teaspoons per day for men.

•Discounts In order to prevent cardiovascular disease, dietary guidelines should emphasize the role played by added sugars, say the authors •Programs in their paper “The Wrong White Crystals: Not Salt but Sugar as Aetiological in Hypertension and Cardio-metabolic Disease”.

Historically “salt” was the one that should be reduced to lowering high blood pressure. But the potential benefits of this approach is debatable. This is because the average reduction in blood pressure achieved by restricting salt intake tends to be relatively small, and there is some evidence to suggest that 3 –6 grams of salt daily may be optimal for health, and that intake below 3 gram may actually be harmful.

Most salt in the diet comes from processed foods, which also happens to be a rich source of added sugars. Sugar may be more relative to blood pressure than sodium, as sugested by a greater magnitude of effect with dietary manipulation. Compelling evidence from basic science and popular studies with clinical trials all implicate sugar, particularly the monosaccharide fructose as the major player in developing hypertension or high blood pressure. Studies also suggest that fructose may contribute to overall cardiovascular risk through a variety of mechanisms.

In one study it was noted that naturally occurring sugars found in fruit and veggies are not harmful to health. Just as most dietary sodium does not come for the salt shaker, most dietary sugar does not come from the sugar bowl. By reducing the consumption of added sugars by limiting processed foods containing it would be a good place to start. The evidence is clear Certified Personal Trainer/Aerobic Group Instructor that even moderate doses of added sugar for short durations may cause substantial harm.

Cancer Society applauds Warman’s new outdoor smoking regulations

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is hoping that other municipalities across Saskatchewan follow the lead of Warman and Martensville in declaring more outdoor spaces as smoke-free.

In a presentation to Warman City Council on Monday, April 13, CCS Cancer Control Coordinator Diana Ng gave the city a Healthy Choices Healthy Lifestyles Award.

The framed plaque will be mounted beside a similar award received earlier this year from the Lung Association of Saskatchewan. Both awards are in recognition of bylaws enacted by Warman and Martensville to regulate outdoor smoking in public places.

Ng said the award acknowledges individuals or groups who strive to better their health and their environment by changing an aspect of their lifestyle.

“Together with the City of Martensville, you (City of Warman) adopted the first comprehensive outdoor smoking bylaw in Saskatchewan,” said Ng. “Your assistance was a tremendous help to us in our advocacy action on this issue. Thank you for your commitment to cancer control.”

MILL RATE LEVY BYLAW

Warman City Council adopted a bylaw setting the general municipal levy at 6.5 mills

at its council meeting on April 13. The mill rate was set earlier when council adopted its 2015 budget. The commercial municipal mill rate factor is set at 7.87 mills. The mill rate for the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) is set by the provincial government at 2.67 mills for agricultural property, 5.03 mills for residential property and 8.28 mills for commercial and industrial property.

NEW FINANCE MANAGER

The City of Warman has hired Brett Ferguson, a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan, as its new Finance Manager. Ferguson began his duties on Monday, April 13. He steps into the position following the resignation of Clae Hack, who left to take a position with the City of Saskatoon.

SKATEPARK WORK

The City of Warman is contracting with Great Plains College to have students in the college’s Heavy Equipment Op-

erators course do excavation work on the new skateboard park in Warman’s Prairie Oasis Park. Similar contracts were in place last year to do initial excavation work on the site.

The skate park is slated to open in late summer or early fall.

SECONDARY SUITES

The City approved recommendations from its planning department to approve secondary suites in two homes in residential neighbourhoods. The suites are in residences on Palmer Crescent and Canora Street, and meet all regulatory guidelines.

PLAY BALL!

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA) clubs are preparing their fields for a busy season.

This year the association will be hosting the ISF Men’s World Softball Championship June 26-July 5.

This will be the fourth time Saskatoon has hosted a Men’s World championship. SASA president Bryan Kosteroski is excited about the prospect.

“When you talk about the men’s world softball championship, you really have to look at the history of the event,” saidKosteroski. “You have the top players in the world coming to Saskatoon. If you are a softball fan you are going to want to be there to see the talent first hand.”

Kosteroski said there will be 16 countries represented at the tournament, with seven teams including Canada, Argentina, New Zealand and Australia that could easily walk away with the championship.

“Everyone knows it’s a hitting and pitching game but it is

(306) 657-2450 316 2nd Ave. N. Saskatoon, SK

ISF Men’s World Championships coming to Saskatoon

really about who is hot that day which will determine the winner.”

He said the SASA plans on holding a press conference to officially kick off the event on April 29 and another press conference May 3 to announce Team Canada’s roster.

Right now there is a 20-man pool that Team Canada has to trim down to 17.

Kosteroski expects Senior Diamondbacks pitcher Devin McCullough to make the cut.

“He is an upcoming player in Canada for many years and he will be pitching many important games for Team Canada,” said Kosteroski. “He came up through the Saskatoon Phantoms softball zone, played with Sask First programs and played with the National Junior Team four years ago in Whitehorse.”

This summer in league play the Senior A and B men’s and Junior A Men’s provincial championships will be held in Saskatoon July 17, 18 and 19.

The Senior C Men’s and Ladies provincial championships will take place the following

weekend.

The association currently has 26 women’s teams this year and 24 men’s teams.

There will be a new bantam team this year made up of Delisle and Warman players. The team will be called the Poly Plus Twin City Rage, said Kosteroski.

“They are the best bantam under 16 players surrounding Saskatoon and will be heading to Prince Albert this year for Softball Canada’s Under 16 Canadian Championships,” said Kosteroski.

The league also added four ladies teams. It now boasts 50 teams altogether. The association is also marking its 51st year in operation, said Kosteroski.

League play kicks off in early May. The full schedule for all teams is listed on the SASA website at saskatoonamateursoftball.

Gordie Howe Park’s 55 year old softball diamond will also undergo renovations with the installation of two new dugouts, which are scheduled to be ready for next season.

Martensville 2015 Budget highlights Waste & Recycling

While some municipalities invoice for waste and recycling fees on monthly utility bills, the City of Martensville has chosen to include waste and recycling collection as a one-time payment as part of property taxes.

With service provider increases and the development of a new organic site, in order to breakeven, household annual fees will increase by $15.00 ($1.25 per month). The last waste and recycling fee increase was in 2012.

Water &Sewer

Council will continue to fund a reserve for future waste water treatment. This will be required in the near future to meet the Ministry of Environment’s regulations. Last February, the City of Martensville signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Saskatoon that could see Saskatoon provide water and waste water services to Martensville.The detailed agreement and scope of the project need to be negotiated which could be a long term solution for Martensville. The $75.00 base tax amount will continue for 2015.The City has applied for funding under the Building Canada Fund but to date, the project has not been approved.

If successful, the Federal and Provincial governments would contribute up to two-thirds of the funds required. The City will continue to explore all future requirements and funding options to ensure the best solution for Martensville Water rates will increase by 10%. This is due to a Sask Water rate increase of 7% and an additional 3% to assist with operations and water loss costs.

A new lift station has been constructed and a new water pumping station is nearing completion in Lake Vista. The new lift station will accommodate the development of approximately 480 acres of land. When fully built, the new water pumping station will accommodate approximately 960 acres of development.

Emergency & Protective Services

RCMP

The former City Hall will be renovated and used for the RCMP. The current RCMP location will be expanded and renovated to accommodate growth with our current RCMP agreement. The remainder of the space will be leased to the RCMP Traffic Safety Enforcement Unit. This partnership will result in a much higher visibility of the RCMP in and around Martensville.

Fire Department & Emergency Measures Organization (EMO)

A new fire truck (water tanker) will be purchased. As part of the City’s EMO Plan, the City will participate in the Notify Now Emergency Notification System. Should an emergency event arise, Notify Now will contact residents via phone lines. The EMO Coordinator will provide more information about the system and processes in the near future.

Infrastructure & Planning

An Infrastructure Replacement Program and a comprehensive Asset Management Program will be developed to address aging infrastructure and assets beginning with roadways. The City will hire an engineering assistant to take the lead in asset evaluation. These programs will provide Council with the tools they need to discuss and select appropriate service levels, make informed decisions due to a better understanding of the benefits and costs of different treatment strategies, improve long term financing and taxation models to maintain the City’s competitiveness, and reduce the risk of failures.

Land Development & Land Use Planning

To prepare for future development, engineering and design work will take place at 10th Avenue North and Main Street east of 10th Avenue. In addition, 10th Avenue North from Main Street to 3rd Street North will be paved.

Two hundred and fifty acres of land east of 10th Avenue South has been purchased and

a comprehensive concept planning exercise will take place this year to plan for how the new land, including the entire area east of 10th Avenue will be used. This includes planning for the construction of the new P3 elementary school site north of Main Street. A consultant has also been contracted to update the City’s Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw.

Improvements to 4th Street South

The reconstruction of 4th Street South will be completed.

The road improvements will be funded through General Revenue over three years. The first phase (2015) includes design of the entire roadway (Centennial Drive to 8th Avenue), reconstruction between 6th Avenue and 8th Avenue, and an investigation into traffic calming measures for decision by Council in the near future. Phase two (2016) includes reconstruction between 3rd Avenue and 6th Avenue. Phase three (2017) includes reconstruction between Centennial Drive and 3rd Avenue.

Centennial Drive North

A crosswalk will be installed on Centennial Drive North at 3rd Street North. The cross walk may be installed prior to lighting or signals as the best option for the area is determined. As part of the crosswalk installation, a pathway will be constructed from 3rd Street North to Main Street on the west side of Centennial Drive.

The finished areas will include an asphalt path while the areas where we are waiting for commercial construction, will include a granular pathway.

The City will be working with our Consulting Engineers to investigate design and cost options to improve Centennial Drive North from 3rd Street North to 9th Street North.

Highway 12 Overpass

To enhance and manage our current and future growth, work will begin with the Saskatchewan Ministry of HighCONTINUED ON PAGE19

Construction is well underway on a new active adult residential complex in Martensville.

The 24-unit Chateau Villa is expected to be ready for occupancy in the spring of 2016, according to Kelly Bedient, sales and marketing specialist with Bridge Road Developments.

“Construction is in full swing right now,” said Bedient in an interview on Thursday, April 9. “It generally takes 12 to 13 months for the construction process.”

The sod was officially turned at the site of the three-storey complex on January 21, but the project actually started several years ago with the formation of the Martensville Housing Development Committee, a community-based group looking to increase older adults’ independent living accommodations

in Martensville. The group explored a number of options and eventually contracted with Bridge Road Developments, a company which has completed a number of similar projects in communities throughout Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Bedient said interest in the new complex is high, and the company is fielding an increasing number of calls. She noted that there are still suites available on all floors, and an early sign-up promotion is now on.

“Those that sign up early can get first pick on their units, a free front-load washer and dryer pair, as well as input on decor selections and upgrade options,” she said. “We are also waiving the $300 administration fee for upgrades for those that qualify.”

Bedient said the location of the complex in the new Lake Vista neighbourhood is very close to a number of recreational and cultural amenities, in-

cluding the Martensville Athletic Pavilion, Martensville Aquatic Centre, and Kinsmen Park.

In late May, Bridge Road Developments is hosting a bus tour to Biggar so potential buyers can view firsthand a similar building already in operation.

Bedient said in addition to the Martensville project, the company is just finishing up projects in Kipling and Battleford, and has three other new buildings going up this year in Humboldt, Swift Current and Unity.

“There’s lots on the go right now,” she said. “We are working on opening up the third phase of our existing facility in Carman, Manitoba.”

Interested individuals can contact Bridge Road sales and marketing representatives Kelly Bedient at -1-866-859-8211 or Tamara McMurren at 1-855834-6318.

Credit Union members take branch closures in stride

By KATE KADING

katekading@gmail.com

One point of concern addressed at the Affinity Credit Union annual meeting on April 1 was the impending closure of twelve branches, including Hepburn, Osler and Laird, slated for later this year.

Affinity Credit Union Rosthern Branch Manager Maxine Vasani was pleased with the turnout at the AGM. She expected the closure issue would come up, but was confident members had their questions answered in community consultations prior to the annual meeting.

“We had a really good meeting where our management team apprised our member-

ship of some of the great work that Affinity is doing, along with our financial results,” said Vasani. “We had a number of questions from members across the province about Affinity’s operations, and only one question about the closures. Affinity has done a lot of work in March conducting community meetings in the affected branch communities and I think the member concerns were well addressed through those meetings.”

Rosthern is her primary branch, but Vasani also manages the Laird, Osler, Hague and Bellevue branches. She says the impact the closures will have on the Rosthern Branch specifically will be relatively small.

“We may see some folks travel in to our Rosthern branch, but also expect that they will utilize our Waldheim branch, or any other branch that is on their regular travel route, including locations in Saskatoon or Martensville. Affinity has decided not to change our members’ accounts to another branch en masse, and will rather let our members choose the most convenient access point to have their service needs met. We have always had a close connection between our Rosthern branch and the community of Laird, as lending and investment services have historically been completed at Rosthern.”

Vasani said the credit union hopes to see those relation-

Highlights of Martensville budget ways and Infrastructure to incorporate the overpass at the main entrance to Martensville.

Recreation & Community Services

The budget will continue to fund operating and capital costs, continue upgrades, and provide new facilities, parks, playgrounds, pathways and programs. An additional staff member with training in horticulture practices has been hired to assist in landscape and tree maintenance, and to establish maintenance standards of existing horticulture areas as well as new areas being established.

Front landscaping at Martensville Athletic Pavilion, including sod, trees, plantings and irrigation will be completed. Two donated art pieces will be installed near the front entrance of the facility.

Operations and programming at this new facility will also be finetuned. Lighting at the 30 year-old Martensville Sports Centre Are-

ships continue on as they have for many years.

“We are committed to our members, and hope to help them find ways to do their business with us, whether that is through electronic means, through our contact center, or at any one of our branches in communities they travel to,” she said. “We also have staff that can meet members at locations that are convenient for them.

“In our current model, our agriculture lending staff visits their members right at their farms where it’s convenient for the member to do so, and we’ve expanded our mobile specialists to meet with members about their investing and borrowing needs.

dramatic ice rescue training scenario

Warman Fire Rescue’s (WFR) weekly training exercise on Wednesday, April 8 focused on ice rescue techniques. Utilizing the thin ice on Deer Bay pond in Warman, WFR members conducted a simulated, but nonetheless dramatic, ice rescue. WFR Deputy Chief Russ Austin explained that the simulated scenario involved a child falling through the thin ice. The situation was complicated when the child’s father, in an attempted rescue, also fell through. “Both were quickly rescued by Warman Fire Rescue Techs,” said Austin.

Though both mannequins didn’t speak, they seemed happy to be out of the frigid water!” The City of Warman has posted warning signs at the edge of all its surface water retention ponds to alert residents of the danger of thin ice.
