A pair of Mallard ducks appear to be walking on water as they prepare to take flight from a water-filled ditch west of Osler in mid-April. The past few weeks have seen the ice recede from small bodies of water, offering great opportunities for observing birds and waterfowl as they pass through the region on their annual spring migration.

END OF ERA FOR BETHANY Final day of classes marked by students, faculty at Bethany College
By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Students at Bethany College in Hepburn marked the final day of classes at the venerable Bible school on Friday, April 17 with prayers, tears and a message of hope for the future. “It’s the end of an era,” said Randy Klassen, an instructor in Biblical Studies at the college as he watched the last stone put in place on an altar at the base of the flagpoles in front of the college. “It’s been a hard year for the college, the staff and the students. Everyone is sad to see the doors close, but there’s also a sense of celebration because of what this college has meant to so many people down through the generations. Bethany College leaves behind a tremendous legacy, and it will never be forgotten. God’s work will carry on through the people He has touched here.” Declining enrolments and budget pressures forced the closure of the 88-year-old institution. The decision to wind down classes was made by the college’s board of directors earlier this year. The college’s last commencement will take place this weekend. Students will receive credit for their courses if they transfer to either Columbia Bible College in Abbotsford, BC, or to Steinbach Bible College in Steinbach, Manitoba. “Both of those colleges have been very helpful in facilitating transfers for students,” said Klassen, one of

RM of Aberdeen close to first reading on Pinnacle Ridge Estates & Golf development Pinnacle Ridge Estates & Golf Club, a luxury bare-land condominium golf course community proposed for the RM of Aberdeen, is attracting interest across western Canada.

Corman Park sets mill rates
RM OF CORMAN PARK
Fire bans need to be taken seriously By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
RM ratepayers wanting to have a controlled burn might have to wait a little while longer, based on fire bans issued last week in the RMs of Corman Park, Montrose and Vanscoy. Morgan Hackl, Assistant Fire Chief with the City of Saskatoon, said the current fire ban is the first he has seen in 20 years within the city limits. With so much dead grass, warm weather and high winds, ignition can start very quickly and move rapidly across roadways in areas you never thought possible, said Hackl. The City of Saskatoon has fire service agreements with 12 RMs surrounding Saskatoon and to date only a dozen grass fires have been reported. Last year the City of Saskatoon fire department responded to 68 calls, and in 2013 that number was higher with 115 grass fires. Hackl said the goal during the ban is simply to educate the public on the possible dangers associated with controlled burns, despite the fact that the majority of grass fires are related to human error with discarded cigarettes. The RM of Corman Park has had two grass fires so far, which is no doubt the reason why a fire ban has been put in place by the RM. City of Saskatoon Fire Department assisted with the first grass fire
in Corman Park, April 10 near Range Road 3075 and Township Road 372 along with fire departments from Dalmeny, Langham and Martenvsille. The City of Saskatoon also sent a battalion to the second grass fire south of Saskatoon in the Hamlet of Furdale, April 20. The Delisle Fire Department has also been busy battling up to five grass fires last week alone. Delisle’s 2000 square mile fire protection area includes the RMs of Vanscoy and Montrose and parts of the RMs of Corman Park, Harris and Perdue. Delisle Fire Chief Al Dreher said half the battle putting out grass fires is gaining access, especially where a regular pumper truck would sink and sometimes get stuck in the soft soil. “These fires are all off road. You could be out in a field, pastures. We even had one fire in Pike Lake Park last week,” said Dreher. Dreher said two years ago the department invested in an ATV side by side equipped with a tank and pressure washer which helps a lot. The City of Saskatoon grass fire fighting equipment includes two 4x4 brush trucks which are equipped with hose reels, special spray models on the front of the truck so they can spray down fires in front of the truck and help make fire breaks along fire lines, said Hackl.
RM renews fire services agreement with Saskatoon By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The RM of Corman Park Council passed a new two-year Fire Agreement with the City Saskatoon, during a Council Meeting, April 7. The City of Saskatoon has had a fire agreement with the RM of Corman Park since 1997, which is renewed every two years. There will be some changes under the terms of the new agreement. It will exclude the newly-annexed area of Corman Park and the present SGI rate of $839.00 per hour of productive call will be depicted as the current rate as identified by SGI. The city also requested that the current fee for commercial and industrial service be increased to meet the elevated costs of providing the services, which consider the maintenance and replacement of the City of Saskatoon fleet. As well an area of fire protection that was previously covered by the Dalmeny Fire Department will now be handed over to the City of Saskatoon. In the original 1997 Fire Services agreement the RM of Corman Park paid the City of Saskatoon $47,000 for fire services. In 2004 that amount increases to $60,000, the previous rate was $75,000. That contract ended in December 2014. The new annual cost is $125,955. The ratio of increase over this period is .28 per cent per year, which will reman intact with the new agreement. Adam Tittemore, RM of Corman Park administrator, said he has had many meetings with the City of Saskatoon about the details of what the new fire services agreement would look like. Instead of the RM accepting the large increase all at once he prefers that the increased amount be phased in, which would mean $100,000 for the year 2015 and the full requested amount of $125,955 be applied for the year 2016. Based on the $839 per hour of productive call service Division 4 Councilor Randy Rooke asked Tittemore if there were any stats that detail how many fire response calls there are in Corman Park annually.
Tittemore said he is still waiting on information from the City of Saskatoon. “I am trying to get information going back over the last five year period on how many rural commercial and industrial calls they have had to respond to on an annual basis, how many trucks have responded and what their costs look like on that to see if it’s something we can scale back that focuses CONTINUED ON PAGE 18
Corman Park Fire Services
RM of Corman Park Administration shared information regarding their Municipal Potash Tax Sharing Administrative Board 2015 mill rate, the education mill rate, a possible new fire agreement and a new irrigation structure, repair and replacement program during administration committee minutes brought forward to council, April 7
Hackl said while most people normally obey fire bans, there are still some landowners who don’t report a controlled burn. If a controlled burn did cause a grass fire, Hackl said the process for determining responsibility is quite simple. “In terms of our fire services agreement if someone did cause a grass fire we would bill the RMs on a per hour basis for our apparatus and the RM in term would charge the land owner,” said Hackl. The amount the City of Saskatoon charges for responding three trucks to a grass fire is $839 per hour. Dreher said there is no excuse for people not taking responsibility when a fire ban is in place. “It has been advertised through the RMs, media and social media. There is also a burning bylaw in the RM that will charge people up to $2,000 if their careless actions led to a grass fire,” said Dreher. “People usually start to listen when it starts hurting their wallet.”
EDUCATION MILL RATE
Council received correspondence from the Ministry of Government Relations who suggested that the potential education mill rates be levied with respect to every division and property class. That means agricultural property will be set at 2.67
mills, residential at 5.03 mills, commercial industrial at 8.28 mills and resource at 11. The rates are pending the adoption of an order in council as required by legislation. The RM collects education property taxes from Prairie Spirit School Division and the Greater Catholic School Division.
POTASH TAX SHARING
The Municipal Potash Tax Sharing Administrative Board has set the 2015 mill rate at 9.3 on the shareable portion for the assessment for the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan. For 2015 the RM of Corman Park will expect a payment of 909,399.67 as compared to the 2014 grant of 805,489.30 resulting of an increase of 12.9 per cent. This increase has been attributed to the increase to the 2015 mill rate, which is 7.3 percent higher and a taxable increase of 8 percent for 2015. Council also set the 2015 Fire Levy Mill Rate at .163

Traffic law enforcement beefed up in school zones Enforcement of traffic laws is being stepped up in Warman and Martensville, according to Warman RCMP Sergeant Warren Gherasim. Over the last several months, Warman/Martensville RCMP received a number of complaints from residents regarding traffic safety concerns in school zones in the Valley Manor Elementary School and Venture Heights Elementary School areas of Martensville. “In response to the concerns raised, RCMP and Martensville Bylaw Enforcement have been conducting sporadic traffic enforcement which has resulted in numerous verbal warnings; however, police are still being contacted about the offences being committed in these areas,” said Gherasim. As a result, Warman/Martensville RCMP have partnered with school administrators, Martensville Bylaw Enforcement and the Combined Traffic Services unit to increase enforcement in these high-risk areas. Gherasim said the purpose is to identify and educate the public on traffic safety concerns with the intent to curb offences that include: · illegal U-turns, · impeding the flow of traffic (ie: stopping vehicle in the middle of the street to let children out), · parking/ stopping in areas that are NOT permitted · and bus zone offences (passing a school bus while stop arm deployed and lights flashing, use bus zone during times that are not permitted, etc.) “There will be a short period of time where warnings may be issued,” said Gherasim. “However, in response to the public’s continued concerns, we will be increasing our traffic enforcement presence and laying charges as appropriate. “The goal at the end of the day is to keep our children and community safe.”

Farmland ownership review puzzling
Fire destroys buildings south of city
On April 16 at approximately 11:26 am, Saskatoon RCMP and the Dundurn Fire Department responded to a fire at a residence 12 miles south of Saskatoon. Both a garage and guest house were engulfed in flames and have since been destroyed. No injuries were sustained as a result of the fire. The fire has been deemed to be non-criminal in nature. As such, Saskatoon RCMP have concluded their investigation.
Correction The Pinnacle Ridge Estates and Golf Club development proposed for the RM of Aberdeen was incorrectly identified in the April 9 edition of the Gazette. The name of the developer, Carman Praski, was spelled incorrectly. Proteous Waters Inc., the company which is supplying the membrane bioreactor system, was incorrectly idenitified. The Gazette regrets these errors and apologizes for any inconvenience they may have caused.

That Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart and his Saskatchewan Party government have done an about-face on the question of farmland ownership is likely a good thing. But it’s also rather puzzling. To the surprise of many, Stewart announced early last week his government’s plans to review of the Saskatchewan Farm Security Act, beginning with public consultation this summer. Now, one might assume the act is already strict enough, given that it currently restricts non-Canadians or non-Canadian-owned corporations from possessing more than 10 acres of farmland. However, efforts to circumvent the intent of the act by those facilitating large-scale investment by pension funds has created an angry buzz on rural Saskatchewan’s coffee row. “Recently, the issue has arisen of whether institutional investors, like pension plans, should be able to purchase farmland in the province, which is not currently allowed under the legislation,” Stewart explained to reporters in making the announcement. “There are differing views on this matter, so we want to hear from producers, agribusinesses, agriculturANGELA HEIDEL

al stakeholders and interested Saskatchewan residents on what they think.’’ After consulting this summer, the government intends to introduce legislation in the fall sitting and plans to see the bill passed in the spring of 2016, Stewart said. However, the timing is rather puzzling in that we are going to polls in April 2016. Any legislation on the table will die and have to be re-introduced. Also puzzling is the commitment from Stewart that regulations will be put in place “to prohibit certain organizations, like pension plans and other institutional investors, from purchasing farmland in Saskatchewan.” Exception will be made for economic initiatives like oil and gas development. But if this is the plan, why do we really even need public input? Clearly, one issue is the skyrocketing price of Saskatchewan farmland. By coincidence, on the day of Stewart’s announcement came

other news from Farm Credit Canada that land values increased, on average, by 18.7 per cent in 2014. This represented the third straight year Saskatchewan land saw a large spike, with average farmland value increasing 28.5 per cent in 2013 and 19.7 per cent in 2012. By comparison, farmland values nationwide only increased 14.3 per cent in 2014 and 22.1 per cent in 2013. Moreover, the return of lower prices is causing tighter profit margins; something that’s already impacting the farmland rental market; one can only suspect that sky-rocketing farmland prices will slow down. Others see more nefarious politics in the decision. Progressive Conservative leader Rick Swenson said the decision was only made after mounting anger in rural Saskatchewan over farmers and ranchers having to compete with their own Canada Pension Plan funds to buy farmland. Swenson has vehemently opposed what he calls a loophole in the current act that allowed the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) to buy Assiniboia Farmland. And the PC leader said CPPIB should be forced to sell the land.
“Not only do I want them out, I want divestiture (of farmland) in a three-year period,” he said. New Democrat agriculture critic Cathy Sproule also asked in the chamber last week why Assiniboia Farmland wasn’t the focus of the government action. Sproule noted that the principals in the company included onetime high-ranking Sask. Party officials including a former member of the Premier Brad Wall’s transition team and the former chief of staff of the Sask. Party Opposition caucus. Again, it’s all ready puzzling. That said, when the CPPIB bought 115,000 acres in Saskatchewan in late 2013, the acquisition was approved by the Farm Land Security Board and Justice ministry officials. Moreover, government officials also said the large-scale purchases were privately scrutinized and reviewed and no problems were found. However, no details of this private investigation; including its findings, cost to taxpayers or even who performed it; have been released. As suggested, there is a lot in this move by Stewart and his government that’s down-right puzzling.
NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS
The Clark’s Crossing Gazette welcomes the submission of news stories, photos, letters or any other information that would be of interest to the readers of this newspaper.
NEWS OR SPORTS STORIES
If you or someone you know has been involved in an event you think is newsworthy, please include your name and contact information (either a daytime telephone number and/or email address). Please send the information in a timely manner following the event and remember to include as much pertinent information as possible, including the following: 1. WHO was involved? 2. WHAT was the event? 3. WHEN and WHERE did the event occur? 4. WHY was the event important?
PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPS
All the information that goes with a news story should also accompany photo(s) as above. Include the names of all the people in each photo and identify from left to right and from back to front. 1. Set your camera to the highest resolution possible. The more resolution, the better the final outcome of the photo in print. 2. Don’t be shy! Get close to your subject(s). Most photos taken with a built-in zoom lens extended will produce “grainy” images that do not reproduce well. 3. Attempt to get dynamic photos of something happening instead of just a quick snapshot. 4. “Presentation” photos typically don’t work well if there are too many people side-by-side in the frame. If there are many people in the photo, have them as close together as possible and, if needed, have the front row seated and the back row standing. 5. Remember taking a picture facing into the sun or bright light will produce poor quality images.

With Warman’s latest population figures showing the city bumping up against the 10,000 mark, opportunities for business in the growing city are plentiful, says Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence. Speaking at the annual Business Breakfast sponsored by the city, Great Plains College and the Warman Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, April 16, Spence said Saskatchewan Health statistics released in December, 2014, put Warman’s population at 9,523. “That is just astounding,” said Spence. “What is even more revealing is that there are more 30 to 34-year-olds in Warman than any other age group; followed closely by a strong group of 5 to 9-yearolds.” Spence said only 1500 Warman residents are over 55 years of age; which leaves more than 8,000 residents under age 55. “Warman has seen a huge shift in demographics recently,” said Spence. “We are a young, vibrant community with a growing workforce. We have a budding commercial base and amenities and infrastructure to support this development.” Spence said the announcement several weeks ago of a new overpass interchange on Highway 11 at Central Street will make a huge positive impact on traffic flow and safety. She noted the project is slated to begin this year with land acquisition. “The project will move into full construction next year and the planned completion date is for fall, 2018,” she said. “The Ministry of Highways will be hosting a couple of open houses, first to engage the community and gather stakeholder opinion, and the second one to roll out that plan. The date for the

first open house is Wednesday, May 13. It’s very important for you to be there and voice your opinions and concerns.” Spence said despite the expected aggravations due to construction, the overpass represents “short term pain for long term gain.” Spence said regional cooperation is also high on the City of Warman’s agenda. Participation in the Partnership for Growth (P4G) initiative is beneficial to all the municipalities, she noted. She said an open house last month outlining Warman’s proposed new Official Community Plan was well-received. Another public information open house is slated for Thursday, May 14.

noticed. The homeowners also reported finding a chalk mark on their fence and a scraping on their house exterior. On April 18, a resident in the 1100 block of Avenue Y North reported finding a chalk mark on a neighbour’s fence follow-
ing an earlier report of an unknown male running in between houses and a dark van driving slowly. The resident was concerned that dogs may have been targeted. That same day, a homeowner found marks on her fence and garage and called police.
The SPS is aware of discussion regarding dog thefts on social media. T\he service has not received any reports of any actual dog theft. Anyone with information is asked to contact the SPS at 306-975-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.
Trent Ens was elected by acclamation to the post of President of the Martensville Chamber of Commerce at the organization’s founding meeting on Monday, April 20. Ens will be joined on the Chamber’s executive by Tracey Fesiuk (Vice-President), Tracy Cocks (Treasurer), and Sherisse Sametts (Secretary). All were acclaimed to their respective posts at the meeting. Directors elected by acclamation at the meeting include Stephen Nicholson, Anthony Nienhuis, Rob Nicholls and Shanine Sealey. The chamber’s bylaws and constitution are nearing completion and will be adopted at a future meeting. The organization’s structure allows for up to 12 directors on its board. In an interview after the meeting, Ens said he has high hopes for the new chamber of commerce. “Our goal is to advocate for the interests of local businesses at city council, to encourage new businesses in the community, and to work on issues of concern to business owners and managers,” said Ens. The Chamber of Commerce is currently gearing up for a membership drive during the months of May and June. Ens said the goal is to contact every business in Martensville and explain the benefits of belonging to the chamber. Ens said the chamber is looking to tackle issues of concern to specific businesses through a variety of committees that will be set up in the coming months. He noted that one issue that may be on the agenda is the proposed improvements, in the form of curbs, gutters and paving, to 9th Street North. The concern is whether the project is completed in one or two years, he said. Ens noted that any business owner interested in joining the organization can contact the group by e-mail at martensvillechamber@sasktel.net .

program and have stuck with it. In fact, they’re often out there even on the very coldest days, making sure the kids are safe.” Cox said both boys are role models for younger students. “What generally happens is there is a lot of interest among kids coming into Grade 5 to participate in the program, but as they get older that enthusiasm tends to wane a bit,” said Cox. “It’s a real testament to these boys that they have always been there for us, rain or shine. They deserve the opportunity to go to this big event in Regina, and we’re happy to have them represent our school.”

Two students from Valley Manor School in Martensville are heading to Regina at the end of this month to take part in a province-wide jamboree for school safety patrol members. Julie Chiesa, a teacher at Valley Manor School, has coordinated the School Safety Patrol program for many years. Valley Manor School viceprincipal Michael Cox said it’s an important initiatiive that benefits the students, the school and the community. “It’s a very helpful program,” said Cox in an interview on Friday, April 17. “We have so many students at our school, and the traffic in front of our building is very steady first thing in the morning and also after school. There are a lot of vehicles, so having the safety patrol out at two of our crosswalks helps the kids get across the street safely.” The two Grade 8 boys that are going to the annual jamboree are Lane Adair and Liam McKay. Cox said the boys have been involved in the program for four years, ever since they were in Grade 5. “When it came to choosing our ambassadors, it was an easy choice,” said Cox. “These two are very committed to the

Dancers Edge growing in popularity By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Osler’s Dancers Edge has made significant strides in establishing itself as a respected dance institution for children and youth who live north of Saskatoon. In just three years Dancers Edge has grown from 50 dancers in 2012 to 126 in the 2014-15 calendar year. Currently the dance group has members from Martensville, Warman, Osler, Hague and Langham learning mainstream, ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, musical theatre lyrical and contemporary dance styles. “Right now we have mostly kids ranging from eight to ten years old but we also have children that have started as early as age two-and-a-half,” said Dancers Edge Owner and Artistic Director Sabrina Irving. Irving said Musical Theatre and Contemporary are two of the more popular dance classes, but she plans on adding more adult-focused classes if the dance group is able to maintain its current membership, which she is confident it can. Adult classes would also depend on Dancers Edge obtaining its own art studio. Right now the dance group rents space from Osler’s Community Centre. Next year Irving is planning
Dancers Edge Owner and Artistic Director Sabina Irving performs during the March Showcase at the Legends Centre theatre
for a membership of 150 students, but she said it not a numbers game. “We had a waiting list for three of our classes this year and I said from the beginning that I won’t sacrifice the quality of a class for quantity,” said Irving. “It is a little crazy but I am super-impressed by how dance has grown in the area. I have a great reputation in the community which is great because it is all word of mouth out here, which is fabulous,” said Irving. Dancers Edge recently sent 46 dancers to a dance festival in Lanigan and 54 dancers to the Aberdeen Dance Festival last weekend and won a total of 54 awards. At the Lanigan Dance Dynamics competition dancers won five gold, 10 silver and two bronze. Amy Heroux and Leanne Quiring also won for most promising modern duet. The Aberdeen Dance Festival awards included six gold, 11 silver, 15 bronze and awards for Amy Heroux and Leanne Quiring for most promising modern duet; Jenna Neufeld for most promising soloist; Charity Jansen for most promising musical theatre solo and Darian Neil for most promising modern solo. There are many valuable reasons why dance can play a significant role in the lives of chil-
dren and youth in the local area, said Irving. “It it a huge self-esteem and confidence-booster, especially for those kids who pursue competing in dance festivals. It provides an opportunity to be on stage outside of the year end show,” said Irving. “From the first time they get on stage their confidence is not great, then you notice with more performances their self esteem and confidence is a lot higher and their general presence in class is totally different.” Irving said it is also interesting to see children discover hidden dance skills they didn’t know they had. “When kids go to dance festival competitions and hear feedback from adjudicators they realize that dance is something they are good at,” said Irving. Irving said she noticed this from a student who scored Dancers Edge highest mark in three years at Aberdeen’s International Dance Festival last weekend in Saskatoon. In the two previous festivals the student never won any awards and was contemplating quitting dance all together. Irving hopes the award she received will give her the confidence to continue in dance. Dancer’s Edge will hold their year end recital at Osler’s Community Centre on May 23.

Volunteer works at grassroots level to overcome world hunger, poverty By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Alison Klassen of Dalmeny believes the best way to tackle world hunger is to volunteer at a grassroots level. The resident of Dalmeny is a committed volunteer for World Vision Canada, a charitable Christian organization. She spends countless hours every year at events in the Saskatoon area working on behalf of the charity, promoting programs aimed at alleviating poverty through greater self-reliance. “The needs are so great in so many countries around the world,” said Klassen in a recent interview. “It can certainly be overwhelming, but every donation makes a difference, and every event that I work at which promotes these programs also makes a difference. Knowing that more people are getting on board and promoting positive change; that’s pretty exciting.”
Alison Klassen of Dalmeny Colleen Moran, Volunteer Coordinator for World Vision Canada, said Klassen is “an outstanding volunteer and advocate for World Vision Canada.” “She has travelled well over a total of 1,000 kilometers across Saskatchewan this year alone to make sure we are able to find as many new sponsors for children in need,” said Moran. “Last year, Alison volunteered extensively at the Fringe Festival in Saskatoon, and brought
in 19 sponsorships and $82 in cash donations. “The opportunity to work with Alison came when she contacted us after Donorworx pulled out of the event. Alison saw potential in the event and signed up to volunteer to man the station on her own. As a result of working with Donorworx, Alison is very familiar with our sponsorship program and required little training.” Moran said the organization is paying tribute to its volunteers during National Volunteer Week, which took place in mid-April. “She’s proof that volunteering for just a few hours a month in your community can have a huge impact globally,” said Moran. For her part, Klassen said she believes World Vision Canada’s community-oriented development programs hold the key to long-term change. “It’s a very worthwhile thing to put my efforts into,” said
Klassen. “I started out sponsoring a child many years ago through this program, and after a year and a half of sponsorship, I got a letter from the organization saying my contribution was no longer needed because the little child’s community was now self-sufficient.
That really impressed me because of its honesty.” She said the organization’s programs are designed to be in place for ten to fifteen years to allow communities to build up their resources and meet their basic food, health and education needs.

Osler taekwondo sees spike in membership By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
If you enjoy a great cardio workout, goal setting and learning self-discipline and defense,, then joining a martial arts class might be up your alley. Chris Mackintosh, owner of Dracan Caoin Taekwondo in Osler, admits that he was a late bloomer when he got involved in the martial art at the age of 36. But he enjoyed it so much he started the Osler club in 2004, later branching out to establish clubs in Hague and Perdue. At age 63 he still is involved in instruction at the club, but handles most of the club’s book keeping and simply enjoys the atmosphere of local kids who share the same enthusiasm for the martial art he first discovered 27 years ago. All three clubs have a cobined membership of 98 participants, with 68 of that total signed up with the Osler club. Mackintosh said there are many different types of taekwondo, but the style he teaches is part of much bigger network. “We are part of the Global Taekwondo Federation (GTF). We have formed a provincial organization which is actually a conglomerate of about 14 GTF Clubs within the province,” said Mackintosh. He added that the reach of the GTF clubs stretch from Prince Albert all the way down to Estevan. These 14 clubs in Saskatchewan are also part of Global Taekwondo Martial Arts (GTMA) network, which has not for profit status and is registered and receives funding from SaskSport. The clubs regularly stage
GTMA sanctioned events. Last year Saskatchewan clubs sent 650 students to provincials competitions. Mackintosh said the clubs have a mix of youth. At the Perdue club the ages range from age 6-16, in Hague there are two adults with the majority of ages at that club ranging from age 5-14, but at the Osler club Mackintosh said a new age trend is occurring. “It is interesting with the Osler club right now because we have a lot of adult members, which is unusual. Out of the 68 students I am guessing that 24 are adults.” At the same time Mackintosh said it is understandable why more adults would become involved in Taekwondo. “One thing adults look for is a good workout and we have a good stretch and high cardio routine along with core training that is part of every class,” said Mackintosh. An adult member who is also the head instructor and third degree black belt at the Osler club is Tim Hilderbrant. At previous competitions he has received numerous provincial medals and has won gold and silver medals at National Taekwondo competitions. Mackintosh regards Hilderbrant as one of the top senior belts in the province. Mackintosh said he also sees huge potential in Hepburn 17-year-old greenbelt Jofiah Guenther, who Mackintosh said is phenomenal. With the nationals and worlds just around the corner, Mackintosh said Hilderbrant is one of a few talented adults in his Osler club he feels could do great things on the world stage.
Hilderbrant and other adult members have not confirmed their participation at the nationals or world competitions as of yet. At all his clubs Mackintosh likes to provide different experiences for every member. As part of the GTF Mackintosh has invited guest masters and grand masters to provide instruction on different taekwondo technique styles. This year the Osler club brought in Chris Ganter, a master who is part of the GTA from New Jersey. The club also had two-time Saskatoon Taekwondo World Champion Ken Diekenma work with students. Ganter specializes in the proper use of patterns technique in taekwondo while Diekenma concentrates on sparring. Mackintosh said besides having great instructors and students, he would not be able to have a successful club in Osler if it wasn’t for the support from the town, which he said have been very accommodating with allowing him use the Osler Community Centre. “They charge me a lower fee ,which helps me keep my fees down for our membership. They also help me recoup those costs for using the community centre,” said Mackintosh. “At the same time me and my students try and help out with the winter carnival and other events so we can pay the community back. It is good for the kids because they need to learn that community spirit.” Osler, Hague and Perdue students will be busy preparing for a GTMA sanctioned tournament that sometimes include 200 students at Bethlehem Catholic High School May 9.

“The goal is self-sufficiency,” she said. “That’s what drew me to it.” Klassen has also volunteered at the local level in her own community in many areas., including sports, schools, church, and other non-profit organizations.

Golfers back in the swing of things By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Legends Golf Club manager and head golf professional Craig Prentice was expecting a big crowd for opening weekend, and he wasn’t disappointed. “We’re booked pretty solid for both Saturday and Sunday,” said Prentice in an interview just prior to the golf club’s opening day on Friday, April 17. “It’s been a long winter, and I think people are ready to hit the links again.” Prentice said the course is in good shape, thanks to the efforts of head groundskeeper Keith Bell and his staff. “The greens made it through the winter very nicely,” said Prentice. “Now it’s business as usual.” With many other golf courses in the region already open, Prentice said the membership
was getting anxious to get the season underway. He noted that the club has a full schedule of tournaments lined up for the summer. “Our Legends Open is in its fifth year now,” said Prentice. “That’s our marquee event, where we invite CPGA professionals from all over Saskatchewan, as well as the top amateurs. It’s on the Order of Merit for both the Saskatchewan Golf Association and the CPGA.” The tournament season really kicks off with the Legends Two Person Championship, slated for May 30 and 31. Prentice said the club has about 35 corporate tournaments booked for the season. “That’s at capacity,” he said. “We won’t go any higher because we want to ensure we have enough open tee times for members and the public to play the course.”
Ruth Ballachay, Mary Pauls and Nola Jones were the second group to tee off for the season.

The season winds up with the ever-popular “Wyder Cup” in the fall. Prentice said the club has undergone some changes over the past year, and is looking to put increased emphasis on youth and women’s participation. “We have our junior league, which is offered throughout the summer months, and we also have junior camps, where kids can come out and learn the game,“ he said. The club is hosting the Legends Junior Open where top juniors from across the province are invited. The Warman High School Invitational, scheduled for May 12, is another youth event high on the club’s radar. Prentice said the club is expecting over 100 kids for the high school tournament. In addition to the golf course, the club operates the Prairie Links restaurant, a licensed premises open to members and the general public. Prentice said one of the big improvements this year is a new fleet of Yamaha golf carts. “We have a brand new 75-cart fleet,” said Prentice. “These carts are electric powered, which still provides a smooth quiet ride. They are also equipped with our new Stay Prime Golf GPS units. The units are state-of-the art and they give the golfer easy-to use information and features that enhance their golf experience.” To book a tee time, contact the Legends at 306-9318814 or online at www.golfthelegends.com .

Business is brisk at Valleyview Delisle golf course By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Valleyview Delisle Golf and Country Club opened for the season on April 11, and business on the 9-hole, grass greens course has been brisk so far, according to club manager Lori Coleman. “The course is in good shape,” said Coleman in an interview on Friday, April 17.
2015 memBerShiPS
“We’ve got good drainage, and the snow this year wasn’t too heavy, so we were able to open as scheduled.” The last couple of years the course wasn’t able to accommodate eager golfers until early May, said Coleman. “We have 170 members, and that number stays pretty well constant from year to year,” she said. “I think it shows there’s a niche out there for this type of
course. It’s challenging, but it’s also very affordable.” Coleman said the community-based club is solidly-rooted in Delisle, but noted it also appeals to golfers from other centres in the region. “Many of the members drive out regularly from Saskatoon,” she said. “It’s not as fast-paced as the city courses.” The club has regular leagues, including senior men’s on Tues-
day mornings and ladies league on Tuesday evenings; senior ladies on Wednesday mornings, and men’s league on Thursday evenings. The club was established fifteen years ago by volunteers, and the town-owned land on which the course is laid out is maintained by the club. To book a tee time, phone 306-4933288 or e-mail delisle.golf@ sasktel.net .

Community support key for Hague Royals By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Hague Royals goaltender Graham Hildebrand took home a truckful of hardware from the team’s annual awards night on Friday April 18. Hildebrand was named the Hague Royals Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the 2014-15 regular season, and also shared MVP honours for the playoffs with teammate Jesse Mireau. Hildebrand also captured the Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) MVP award. Royals coaches Daniel Rauckman and Roger Kinzel received the FCHL’s Coach of the Year
15044SMC00
award. Rauckman was also named the FCHL’s Most Gentlemanly Player, and captured the Royals team trophy for Most Gentlemanly Player with Ability. Other Royals team awards went to: Sean Unger (Rookie of the Year), Cody Folstad (Top Defenseman), Tyler Karst (Most Dedicated), Ken Neufeld (Most Improved), Nathan McNaught (Top Scorer in regular season), Jesse Mireau (most points in playoffs). Royals manager and assistant coach Roger Kinzel said many of the team’s trophies date back to 1967, which he said shows both the community’s passion for the sport and tradition of support for
the team. “This is a community that really loves its hockey,” said Kinzel. “There’s been some tough years, particularly over the past decade because our league has changed so much, but we have always persevered and tried to have a team that is very talented, and this year we went a lot further and did a lot better than many people thought we would.” Kinzel paid tribute to the volunteers who stepped in to take on key roles and responsibilities with the team throughout the season, as well as those who chipped in to keep the team afloat.
Coaches, managers and players with the Hague Royals senior men’s hockey team celebrated their season on April 18. The Royals advanced to the second round of provincial Senior A playyoffs and won three awards in the Fort Carlton Hockey League.

Within the Central Valley Athletic Conference (CVAC) calendar, April is “badminton month’ across the district. Junior playoffs took place the week following the Easter break. It began with 30 schools competing at 8 venues on the Tuesday, everyone trying to be one of two teams advancing to the second round on Thursday in either boys’ singles, girls’ singles, boys’ doubles, girls’ doubles, or mixed doubles. On Thursday, at Martensville High and Delisle Composite, the athletes faced tougher competition as they now strove to be one of four teams advancing to the district finals at Warman High on Saturday. Saturday’s play was set up in two pools of four from which the top two teams would advance to the playoff round. In the boys’ singles semi finals, Hepburn defeated Warman and Rosthern defeated Blaine Lake in two game sets. In the finals, Rosthern continued its solid play, defeating Hepburn 21-14, 2119 to capture the title. In girls’ singles, VCA and Osler defeated Rosthern and Hanley, respectively, in the semi finals matches. In the finals, VCA won the title by defeating Osler 21-16, 21-19 in two tough games. In boys’ doubles, Rosthern quickly defeated Dalmeny in one semi final, while Osler squeezed out two point victories over Aberdeen in the other. In the final, Rosthern continued its dominant play, defeating Osler 21-6, 21-11 to win the championship. In the girls’ doubles playoff, Perdue defeated Hepburn after three tightly contested games while Borden defeated Vonda in straight sets. In the final, Borden, last year’s defending champions, battled with Perdue for three games before recapturing their title with a 2119, 19-21, 21-17 victory. Finally, in mixed doubles, Colonay defeated Martensville High handily in straight sets while Rosthern defeated a stubborn Borden team also in two games. In the final,
Rosthern overcame a first game loss, defeating Borden 13-21, 2112, 21-14 to win Rosthern’s third title of the day. Congratulations to the 2015 CVAC junior badminton champions. Badminton continues to be one of, if not, the most popular school sport with students at this age level. We are seeing greater numbers of students, often with no background in
Emily Depchuk and Matayoo from Rosthern in mixed doubles
CVAC athletics, coming forward to try out for their school teams. Formal and informal clubs are becoming more of the norm in schools across the district. This is a testament not only to the sport itself, but also to the coaches involved with the school’s program. CVAC wants to thank everyone involved and looks forward to next year’s competition.

Corman Park fire services on payment and then perhaps charging commercial or industrial properties for extra service,” said Tittemore. He said the high cost of Saskatoon Fire Services in Corman Park is a result of costs of fighting commercial and industrial fires, equipment upgrades, especially wildfire equipment that the department otherwise would not need if they were just fighting fires in the city. The $839 per hour pays for the cost of sending out a battalion of three trucks per service
call which would double the cost depending on whether the department decided a backup battalion was needed to fight a fire. For RM residents who live south of Dalmeny, having the City of Saskatoon take over a 24 square mile area that runs from TWP 37, Range 7 down to the 33 Street Ext. makes more sense for that area to be covered by the City of Saskatoon’s Fire Department location on 22nd and Difenbacker Drive, said Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder “Myself and Saskatoon Fire

Chief Dan Paulsen have discussed this issue last fall and have worked through the formalization of this change over for awhile,” said Elder. “What brought it up was the distance we would have to drive to reach that area versus the City of Saskatoon. It’s almost 30 miles for us but would be only minutes for the City of Saskatoon. It was also based on what would be the best thing to do for the ratepayer.” Elder said the next steps would be to have the fire response area maps updated and make sure dispatch agencies are aware of the change.

hind the team had been discussed for some time. “Kevin Kosmynka, who is coaching the Warman team, Wade Harris, Joel Durham and myself in Delisle basically wanted to keep both programs going and keep the interest in the game as long as we could,” said Wiebe. “Ultimately we knew we were going to have to work side by side to keep the bulk of these players together.” The goal is also to keep the core of these kids together and eventually move them up to the midget and junior levels, said
Wiebe. But the Pride know they will have their work cut out for them playing against men’s teams in the SASA. “They are a pretty talented bunch of boys. It is not going to show as much in league play. One of the adjustments will be getting used to new rules,” said Wiebe. “Our pitchers will have to play under SASA rules and regulations, which means they will have to pitch three feet from the plate or from the men’s distance, which for a
15-year-old boy is quite significant.” Wiebe said his expectations this year are to hopefully make the boys a competitive team. “People from SASA have looked at our team and said they will be competitive. I hope we can play games where we will not get run ruled out,” said Wiebe “Hopefully if we can win a couple of games here and then next year with one year of experience under our belts my expectations will be higher.” The Poly Plus Pride will play their inaugural game May 1.

Warman, Martensville honoured by Lung Association of Saskatchewan By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Cities of Warman and Martensville were honoured by the Lung Association of Saskatchewan during that organization’s annual awards luncheon at the Willows Golf and Country Club on Thursday, April 16. The awards ceremony also recognized the Saskatoon Blades Lung Health School Project, the Saskatchewan Asbestos Disease Awareness Group, and raffle fundraisers the Olain Family, whose young son died as a result of an asthma attack. Former Saskatchewan Roughrider and CFL Hall of Famer Don Narcisse was one of several lung ambassadors honoured at the awards luncheon. Narcisse, who played 14 years for the green and white
and won a Grey Cup in 1989, said he was honoured to be an ambassador for the lung association. The designation was personal for him because he was diagnosed with asthma at the age of nine. “A lot of people said I couldn’t become a professional football player and I couldn’t run for a long period of time,” said Narcisse. “I had asthma but I never let it stop me.” It is a significant accomplishment for a player that still holds the Roughrider record of a catch a game for 216 games. Warman and Martensville received Certificates of Appreciation from the association for their smoke-free outdoor smoking bylaws, which were put in place earlier this year. Brian Graham, President of the Lung Association of Saskatchewan, said the outdoor smoking bans show leadership in a big way.
“We have some areas of Saskatoon that have smoking bans but they haven’t taken it all the way,” said Graham. “We really hope that other smaller cities and towns will follow their example, which will help people in so many ways.” Graham said environmental tobacco smoke is the third leading cause of lung cancer and the outdoor smoking bans in Warman and Martensville not only protect people with a lung disease, but will also help smokers who are trying to quit. Mayor Sheryl Spence said she was pleased Warman was recognized for helping to create a healthy community. “It needs to be important for everybody so you have to start with your administration and council to promote it and we are trying to do that as best we can,” said Spence.

Warman Minor Ball gears up for season By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Warman minor ball players are anxious to roll out a brand new season in early May. After attending weekly clinics all winter long at the Legends Centre, they’ve got their batting stance, their catching technique and the followthrough on their swings down pat. Now they’re ready for the real thing: a fastball game on an actual diamond under that big blue prairie sky, with the bleachers full of cheering fans. And there’s going to be plenty of games, judging by the growing popularity of the sport in the last few years. “The growth of fastball in

this area is really amazing,� said Jason Schmiedge, President of Warman Minor Ball. “I think there’s a few reasons for that. One is simply the growth of Warman and Martensville and other communities in the region, and the second is that kids are always looking for activities nowadays. Everyone wants to stay busy, so they’re looking for more than one activity. Fastball, or softball, is a great sport with a lot of appeal.� Schmiedge said four years ago, there were 65 players enrolled in Warman Minor Ball. “This year we’re at 265,� he said. “So it’s really exploded in popularity.� The Warman softball association also includes kids from
surrounding communities like Aberdeen, Osler, Dalmeny and Hepburn. In the older girls age groups, there is a partnership between Warman and Martensville softball associations which created the Twin City Angels teams. Warman has fastball teams for boys and girls, while Martensville offers a fastball program for girls. Schmiedge said there are over 100 girls registered in that program. Martensville also has a minor baseball association, which has boys teams. The season schedule is released on April 22 and games begin in early May. Warman Minor Ball revamped its website to allow each team to update its own practice and game times, as well as game results.
