firefighters battle corman park grassfires

Martensville firefighter Darren Remenda and his colleagues worked for several hours on Saturday, May 2 to bring a stubborn grassfire in Corman Park west of Martensville under control.

High winds made it difficult to contain the blaze, which began as a controlled burn but quickly got out of hand. This was the second blaze in a row that Martensville firefighters responded to that day. They had been called to back up Dalmeny Fire Rescue on an earlier grassfire that began about 1:30 p.m. (Photos submitted by Darren Remenda)

Martensville, Warman firefighters tackle grassfire Martensville and Warman fire crews spent several hours fighting a grassfire smouldering in a swampy area between the two citiesearlier this week.

The fire was called in about 3:30 p.m. on Monday, May 4 by a landowner who noticed smoke in the area locally-known as “the pits” a popular bush party spot.

Martensville fire crews were the first to respond to the call, and Warman was dispatched a short time later. The fire was fanned by a southeasterly breeze, but fortunately there are no dwellings or buildings in the path of the fire. Howev-

er, a wind shift would have put several acreages at risk.

PSSD faces funding crunch School division expects enrollment to increase by 300 students this fall

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) Board of Education takes its role as an advocate for students very seriously, according to Larry Pavloff, Chair of the PSSD. Speaking at the PSSD annual general meeting (AGM) in Waldheim on Wednesday, April 29, Pavloff said the board’s advocacy role is more important now than ever before.

“The school division is facing significant funding shortfalls,” said Pavloff. “The shortfall is the difference in the amount of funding from the province compared to the cost of managing our current levels of programming and services for our students.”

Pavloff said the school division is facing a shortfall of about $7 million in operating funds in the coming year.

“We take every opportunity to engage the Minister of Education and Ministry officials in discussions about our concerns regarding the education funding distribution model that was introduced in 2012,” said Pavloff.

“Although the province has provided some additional funds to PSSD in each budget since 2012, the funding doesn’t keep pace with the rising cost and the growing enrollments.”

Pavloff said the school division has trimmed its expenditures as far as it can, and simply can’t cut its spending or draw any more out of its reserve funds.

He said the funding distribution model shortchanges PSSD compared to other school divisions.

“We know our operational practices and staff practices an expenditures are very similar to, and often below, those of other school divisions in the province,” said Pavloff. “We are not asking for special treatment. We are simply asking for equity in the way that funding is allocated.”

budget crunch year

Pavloff said in an interview following his remarks that the real crunch will come in the coming year, as the school division is forced to make cuts in services, staffing and programming.

He said last year the PSSD board and administration cut $2 million from expenses and also used $3 million from its reserve funds to cover the shortfall and balance its 2014 budget. Those options aren’t available this coming year, he added.

“Since 2012, we have changed the way we do things,” said Pavloff. “So far, it has not affected students. Did it make us more efficient as a school division? I would say probably, yes. But can we go further? I would say no, because we’ve already done that. We’re at the point now where some things are going to suffer.”

Pavloff said the school division has chosen to make its case public in order to prepare parents of students in the division for the hard choices coming in the next few months.

“Our schools and our teachers are going to be impacted,” said Pavloff. “How that impact is going to hit our schools will be known when we release the budget CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Martensville Fire Rescue rookie firefighters are framed by the smouldering remains of a burning building as they practice using a fire hose during a live burn training session in Martensville on Sunday, May 3.

Firefighter training kicks off emergency preparedness week

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca After battling two major grassfires for most of the day on Saturday, May 2, Martensville firefighters were back in action on Sunday morning, May 3.

But this time, it was a live burn training exercise for rookie firefighters.

An old building that served for many years as a training facility at the Martensville Fire Rescue property on 9th Street North was torched after being used one last time, said Martensville

Fire Chief Kurt Dyck.

“Earlier today, we did some attacks on it, as well as some nozzle work and pump training for the new guys,” said Dyck. “Now we’re giving them some practice on using hoses, but basically we’ll just keep things under control and let it burn.”

Dyck said another building at the current training grounds will meet the same fate in June during the new recruits’ certification testing. The fire department is relocating to a new training

facility further north outside the city limits which is closer to Highway 305.

While the fire department has done some training exercises at the new facility already this year, it will move its “props”, including old vehicles used for extrication training, over the next few weeks.

The fire department’s current training grounds are located next to the city’s public works shop, and the land is needed by the city, said Dyck.

Besides, he added, residen-

tial and commercial development is now right on their doorstep.

“The city is getting bigger very quickly,” said Dyck.

“We’re getting pushed further out. The nice part is that the new training facility is designed for our current needs.”

The controlled burn offered spectators a graphic look at how quickly fire can spread in a building once it gets started. The event proCONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Firefighters get crash course in battling railway haz-mat fires

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Firefighters from several communities surrounding Saskatoon got hands-on training to deal with railway derailments and fires last week.

A specially-designed trailer owned by Canadian Pacific (CP) Railway, one of several dozen stationed across the country, is currently located at Number 4 Fire Hall in Saskatoon. The trailer is equipped with a 10,000-gallon water tank, pumps, fire hoses, specialized foam and other apparatus intended for use in battling fires resulting from railway accidents.

It can be hooked to a halfton and taken to the scene of a derailment anywhere in the province. If necessary, it can be airlifted by helicopter to remote areas.

A training session conducted by two hazardous materials (haz-mat) specialists from CP Rail was held at the fire hall in Saskatoon on Tuesday, April 28. Abut 30 firefighters from Dalmeny, Martensville, Warman, Humboldt, Delisle, Biggar and other centres took part in the training course. Representatives from Envirotech, an environmental cleanup company, were also at the session.

Wilbur Hueser, a Fire Service Instructor with the

Saskatoon Fire Department and a volunteer member of Dalmeny Fire Rescue, was the organizer of the training session. He said the purpose of the one-day course was to familiarize firefighters with the machinery and its controls.

“The idea was to get all the fire departments that have a railway running through, or near, their communities to understand how it is set and how it is operated,” said Hueser. “Local fire departments are generally the first ones to respond to the scene.”

Hueser said both CN and CP Rail have had these specially-designed trailers in use for several years.

“They pre-date the Lac Megantic tragedy in Quebec,” said Hueser. “But there are more of them being built and placed in strategic locations in each province so they can be called into action quickly when needed.”

Hueser said there is a growing awareness among communities of the risks associated with increased rail traffic, and local fire departments are becoming betterequipped to respond to serious incidents. There is also increased emphasis on Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) disaster planning across Canada.

“CP Rail has been very

Vanscoy residents ponder Highway 7 options

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazzette.ca The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MOHI) held an open house to further discuss Highway 7 twinning options at Vanscoy Community Hall on Wednesday, April 29.

It was the second public open house in the community since December, 2014; and the first since the provincial and federal governments’ funding announcement in March to twin highway 7 from Saskatoon to Delisle.

Option A, which is the same design first proposed to Vanscoy community members in 2007, projects a 5.4 kilometer route north of Vanscoy. This option requires a significant amount of land-splitting and is estimated to cost $20 million.

Option B will be a little most costly at $25 million because it is 6.6 kilometers in lenght. But, it minimizes land-splitting because it follows quarter section lines more effectively.

Option B also allows development on 890 acres, which is 370 acres more than Option A. The MOHI also offered a status quo route option through Vanscoy. Under this option, the bypass will be deferred to a future date, said Harold Retzlaff, an engineer with MOHI Systems Planning and Management Branch.

“When more triggers come forward, like a certain volume of traffic; or if

15052SMS02

safety concerns dictate that the existing alignment is not coping with the community’s concerns; then we would move to either option A or B, depending on what we hear back from the community from the open houses,” said Retzlaff.

Retzlaff said the tender announcement for the twinning project from Saskatoon to the west side of Vanscoy is expected sometime this year.

“It could take anywhere from a year and a half to two and a half years of design work before you would see shovels in the ground,” said Retzlaff.

He said work on phase 3 of the project could be accelerated from west of Vanscoy to the east side of Delisle because the MOHI is further along in the design process.

That could happen in 12 months time, said Retzlaff.

Local residents expressed a mix of opinions regarding the proposed routes.

Some suggested business are going to be affected if the route extends north of the village, while others are more concerned with safety because of huge traffic volumes that pass through Vanscoy on a daily basis.

Vanscoy resident Karen Dodd has lived in the community for 20 years. She said traffic is just unbearable.

“I have waited 45 minutes to get onto Highway 7 near Prairie Lane road. I’m on the north side of the highway. When guys are leav-

ing the Agrium mine, it is impossible. This is just traveling into Vanscoy and I live two miles down the road.

Something has to be done,” said Dodd.

RM of Vanscoy councilor George Kool said he is happy with all options presented, and the sooner the bypass is built the better it will be for everyone.

“A lot of residents just want it built,” said Kool.

“At the same time, you can’t avoid landowners who don’t want the highway near them. It is going to affect somebody.”

MOHI Interactive and Social Media consultant Steve Shaheen said the appetite right now is to move forward with the project.

“The funding announcement was made with the federal government back in March. We have intentions of starting some of the preconstruction work east of here over the summer and determine where this will be,” said Shaheen.

Retzlaff said once the province has gathered information from public open house meetings and a route is chosen, they will move into a more detailed design process with local landowners and stakeholders.

Donation to Vanscoy School gives literacy efforts a big boost

Vanscoy students will enjoy a variety of new books in their classroom libraries as a result of a generous donation from Agrium. Vanscoy School recently received $7500 in funding from Agrium to support the school’s literacy goals and enhance classroom libraries in the Kindergarten to Grade 8 school.

“We are thrilled to receive these funds and we know our students will love the new books that will be added to our classroom li-

braries,” said Darin McKay, Vice-Principal of Vanscoy School. The $7500 will be used to enhance classroom libraries and support levelled reading programs to meet the literacy needs of the school’s diverse group of readers. McKay noted that students will provide their input into the books that are selected for the school.

Vanscoy School applied for the grant funding through Agrium’s community investment programming. Agrium offers

funding for non-profit organizations, focusing on the following areas: youth, health and wellness, environment, civic/arts and culture. Agrium has a potash mine near Delisle and has been a firm supporter of the schools in the community.

“Vanscoy School enjoys a beneficial relationship with Agrium,” McKay said. “As a result, our students have had access to programs and learning materials we would not have been able to provide otherwise.”

Modernizing the Access to Information Act

By Aaron Wudrick Canadian Taxpayers Federation Federal Director

COMMENTARY

Between elections, what tools can Canadians use to hold their federal government to account? One important tool is the Access to Information Act. You may not have heard of it, but it’s a vitally important law that lets any Canadian request information about what the government is doing, including just what our tax dollars are being spent on, and by whom. And even more importantly, it creates a legal responsibility for the government to provide the information.

In March, Canada’s Information Commissioner released a special report containing 85 recommendations to update the Act. The current law has been in place since 1982 and without major reform since, in spite of the fact that as the Commissioner puts it, “much has changed within government since that time, including how the government is organized, how decisions are made and how information is generated, collected, stored, managed and shared.” So it only makes sense that this law be adapted for the realities of the 21st century.

The first big recommendation is extending the Act; currently, many parts of government are not even covered. Some, like the House of Commons and Senate, are familiar to Canadians. Others, such as the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs, are virtually unknown – even though their budget is over $500 million. Other entities that are partly arms-length from the government, such as Canada Health Infoway (which has received more than $2 billion in federal government funding since 2001), are also not covered by the Act.

There’s no good reason why these taxpayer-funded bodies are not covered. There’s little point in a transparency law that doesn’t follow much of the money in the first place.

In terms of the type of information released, another important recommendation would require the government to provide data in an “open, reuseable and accessible format.” The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has on many occasions requested information, only to receive boxes of blurry, photocopied documents, which were obviously printed off from a program like Excel. This is a pointless waste of everyone’s time, money and paper; in 2015, there’s simply no reason most data can’t be supplied electronically.

Perhaps most importantly, the Commissioner suggests that when grants or loans are given to third parties – referred to in some circles as “subsidies” or “corporate welfare,” that the recipients not be permitted to withhold information about repayment. Under the current rules, many large corporations claim “commercial sensitivity” as a reason not to release details. To take just a single example of dozens, consider Mitel Networks of Ottawa, which received $60 million from the government in 2002. To this day, the company has refused to let the government disclose any information about repayment of that loan (if there has been any repayment).

This needs to change.

In addition, the Commissioner recommends that government proactively publish information about all grants and loans given by government, including the status of repayment and compliance with any terms – rather than forcing Canadians to request the information first. When governments spend money, the default position should be to account for it.

Not every recommendation in the Commissioner’s report is a slam-dunk: opening the request system up to people outside of Canada, for example, seems unnecessary. But on balance, many would be big improvements.

It may not be the sexiest political issue during an election year, but transparent and accountable government is extremely important in any democratic society. With her report, the Information Commissioner has drawn attention to some of the defects of our current Access to Information Act. The government would be well advised to take action on many of its recommendations.

Crowns’ value somehow got lost in political debate Maybe it is a little easier for rural residents to remember what Saskatchewan’s Crown Corporations are really about.

After all, if your power or heat goes out on the farm or in a small town, you likely feel a bit more isolated than you do in the cities.

Somewhat similarly, there are all kinds of communication and entertainment option in cities. Private cell phone suppliers are more than happy to serve urban customers where the service costs per potential customers are lower. And cable companies or satellite providers also recognize the benefit of working in urban environments.

But when you’re a publicly owned communication utility like SaskTel that has to work both in direct competition to those private companies and still fulfill your mandate to reach most everyone in Saskatchewan, you might be a little more appreciated in the rural areas.

So what’s been the big Crown corporation issue in the cities? Well, one of them is clearly whether or not we should be building more government-owned li-

quor stores or moving towards more private retailing. Sure, this is an issue in the country, as well, where there are also governmentowned liquor stores.

Given most rural liquor outlets are private franchises in hardware or local grocery stores, the issue is less of a big deal.

Conversely, city residents often see it as a much bigger deal that we are subsidizing a publicly owned bus company.

According to Saskatchewan Transportation Company’s 2014 annual report, STC still lost an additional $418,000 on its operations after receiving a $10.3-million grant from the government.

But while urban people may grumble about this perennial loser that lost another 5.3-per cent in ridership in 2014, they may have missed the fact that this decline was largely due to the cancelation of routes by private bus companies in Manitoba and Alberta; provinc-

es where rural residents are being left with no services.

Clearly, the debate over the Crown corporations takes a somewhat different tone in such rural areas.

For example, consider the political debate these past few decades that has largely revolved around on how much dividend the Crowns are paying the government and how much money they lost on bad investments.

Prior to their 2007 election win, the Saskatchewan Party feasted on the former NDP government’s bad investment decisions and losses, which admittedly, seemed all too common: Channel Lake ($15 million); Guyana Electrical Company ($2 million); NST Chicago ($16 million); Persona Inc. ($9.4 million); Retx. com (24.7 million); Clickabid. com (6.7 million); Soft Tracks Enterprises Ltd. ($5.6 million; Navigata Communications ($72 million); Craig Wireless ($10 million); Coachman Insurance ($17.2 million); AgDealer ($8.9 million); Austar Communications; and, of course; Spudco ($36 million).

So to the surprise of absolutely no one, it is now the NDP Opposition that

has taken square aim at the Sask. Party government losses and failures at every available opportunity.

The $47-million mess with SaskPower’s Sensus smart meters that occasionally caught fire on the sides of city houses has received more political attention than just about any issue in the multi-billion electrical utility.

As was the case with the NDP government Crown corporation failings, such issues do deserve scrutiny.

It is, after all, our money.

But what we shouldn’t lose sight of is the role of the Crowns and the value of the service they provide.

According to the Crown Investments Corp. (CIC) 2014 report table late last month; the Crowns provided a $173.6-million dividend to all Saskatchewan taxpayers.

This is down from other years as was the 2014 net CIC earnings that slipped to $411 million; well below the $566 million in 2013. Crown debt is also on the rise, which is the source of more political squabbling.

But let us hope that in all this squabbling, we don’t forget what the Crowns are really about.

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.

Funding shortfall likely to impact programs in June.

“How do you take $7 million out of a budget and not have an impact? There are going to have to be some hard choices made. But our education director, superintendents and administrators are working very diligently right now to see where they can cost-effect that $7 million, but still have the least amount of impact on students.”

Pavloff said the budget should be released by mid to late June. “That’s when the staffing arrangements and programming arrangements are given by school principals to their communities,” he said. “We’re not trying to scare people. We’re simply keeping them informed of the reality of the situation.

I believe that’s the responsible thing for us to do.”

review underway

Pavloff said the provincial government’s review of the education funding distribution model currently underway offers some reason for optimism, but it also could be seen as a way of stifling dissent.

‘The timeline for the review to be completed is October,” said Pavloff. “We’re

hoping if it recommends any changes that those changes can be implemented in next year’s budget.

“On the other hand, right now if we have questions over our funding distribution model, the government can say, well, we’ve got a process underway, so they don’t need to answer our questions.”

The school division is expecting an increase of over 300 students in the coming year, noted Pavloff.

“That’s not a record,” he noted. “We had 344 new students enroll in the division in 2013-14, but it’s very close.

“The biggest increase in enrollment will be in Martensville and Warman.

They’re our fastest-growing communities, and the biggest increase will be in the lower grades.”

Pavloff said while some school divisions in larger cities can move students to other schools that have room, it’s more difficult in a school division that has both large urban and small rural schools, to cope with concentrated increases in its major centres.

“Where do we find the money to pay for the teachers and the resources?”

The school division has scheduled meetings with both Education Ministry officials and the review committee studying education funding model.

The province has also committed to annual operating funding for 45 of the 56 spaces when the centre opens. The remaining 11 spaces will continue to be federally funded.

Whitecap has created 680 jobs through their Economic Development Plan. This growing workforce, including employees that reside both on- and off-reserve, has increased demand for child care.

The reason for the proposal is to develop a south access to the Resort Village of Shields.

A Public Meeting will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 10:15 a.m. at the Shields Community Centre to discuss the proposal.

Any persons who wish to object to the proposed restructuring may file a written objection, stating clearly the reason for their opposition, with the administrator of the Resort Village of Shields at the address below: Box 81, Dundurn, SK S0K 1K0 A written notice of objection must be received by the administrator by June 5, 2015.

“Part of the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth is to ensure that Saskatchewan is the best place in Canada to live, work, and raise a family,” Wall said. “This investment will give young families the opportunity to expand their horizons and prepare their children for future success.”

The total cost of construction for the project is estimated at just more than $2 million. In addition to the funding committed by the province, the Government of Canada will be providing $1 million, BMO Financial Group is contributing $250,000 and $260,000 will come from Whitecap Dakota First Nation.

Is your family prepared? Keep a 72-hour emergency kit on hand

By RANDY MEGINBIR City of Warman EMO Coordinator When an emergency situation occurs, it may take emergency workers some time to reach the scene.

To best plan for a disastrous situation, citizens should be prepared to take care of themselves and family members for a minimum of 72 hours.

According to Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) officials, it can take as little as 20 minutes to make an emergency plan for you and your family.

By building and using a 72hour emergency checklist and kit, you can be prepared for a range of emergency situations.

Although the consequences of various disasters can be similar, knowing the risks can help families better prepare.

In Saskatchewan, residents face a number of potentially harmful situations, such as tornadoes, blizzards, and power outages. In addition to natural, industrial

City of Warman EMO Coordinator Randy Meginbir or transportation accidents, train derailments and spills could cause untold damages to the environment in the area.

There are some who will say this will never happen, but, with weather patterns able to change in a matter of minutes, it’s time to consid-

er your plan during Emergency Preparedness Week, which runs May 3-9, 2015.

A good start, according to EMO officials, is to get a copy of the “72 Hour Preparedness” booklet. These are available at the Warman Fire Hall, Warman City Hall, or by downloading a copy online at www.getprepared.ca, or call 1-800-6226232 (1-800-O-CANADA) for a household emergency contact sheet that clings to any smooth surface. For more information regarding emergency preparation, call Saskatchewan Emergency Management at 306-787-9563.

Each community has its own EMO, and for Warman, I am the EMO coordinator, and Chad Makulowich is the Assistant EMO Coordinator.

It is better to be educated, prepared with supplies and have a plan established for your family’s safety. Even though emergency services may be accessible sooner, you must be prepared to be self-sufficient for 72 hours.

We’ve all noticed how severe storms and changing weather patterns have made tornadoes a reality in our area. The destruction of houses and schools takes a matter of minutes, yet the results have long-lasting effects on a community. Some things to consider are: Where would children go to school if such a disaster struck? What do I take if we’re ordered to evacuate?

While the local EMO has most emergency concerns covered for the City of Warman, in the event of a pandemic outbreak, we will adopt the recommendations of Saskatoon. They have a pandemic alert plan in effect if such a disaster did reach this area. This is not meant to panic anyone, but it’s meant to educate and reform people’s thinking. With some simple planning, families can cope with a situation knowing that a plan is in place.

Information is available in the “72 Hour Preparedness” guide and on the www.get-

Emergency Preparedness Week provides opportunity to plan for the unexpected

By TRACY WILSON-GERWING City of Martensville EMO Coordinator Emergency Preparedness Week, which runs from May 3-9, 2015, is a national awareness initiative that has taken place annually since 1996. It is a collaborative event undertaken by provincial and territorial emergency management organizations in concert with Public Safety Canada.

The City of Martensville’s Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) has two main responsibilities. The first is to ensure that the City is prepared and can respond promptly and effectively to any hazards, disasters or emergencies that may occur. The second is to encourage members of the community to be prepared for such events.

Represented by the EMO Coordinator, the EMO is continuously working to fulfill the five aims of emergency management – prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. This means that the EMO will have emergency plans in place before an emergency happens, practise the plans and educate the community.

The first step to being prepared is knowing what types of emergencies are possible. In Martensville, we need to be prepared for

Valley Manor School pumps up donations for Heart Foundation

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Valley Manor Elementary School in Martensville is skipping right along in its campaign to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation (HSF).

The school is participating in the HSF Jump Rope for Heart campaign, which encourages students to get active by skipping rope while they collect pledges for heart disease and stroke research.

The fundraising campaign began April 16 and concludes May 8.

So far, Valley Manor leads all schools in Saskatchewan in donations, with a total of $12,807 pledged as of Friday, May 1. That’s well above the $7,026 pledged by the secondhighest school in the province.

Valley Manor is also in the list of top ten schools nation-wide. A school in Ontario, Mattawa District Public School, leads the pack with $28,925 in donations, followed by eight schools in Alberta that range between $25,928 and $13,823.

The pace of fundraising at Valley Manor is pretty amazing, considering the school’s initial goal was to raise just $3500, according to Valley Manor Vice-Princi-

pal Michael Cox. “We received some information on the Jump Rope for Heart program from the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and it seemed to fit in well with our school theme of Healthy Bodies, Healthy, Minds, Healthy School, Healthy Community and Healthy World,” said Cox in an interview on Thursday, April 30. “There hadn’t been any participation in the program for about 10 or 15 years, so we thought we would try it, even though we had just completed another fundraising campaign for our school community council. We were a little leery about running to fundraisers back to back. We didn’t know what kind of support the campaign would generate.”

The school’s initial goal was to get 100 per cent participation from all students in Kindergarten to Grade 8.

“We set the bar really low,” said Cox. “We aimed to raise $5 minimum per student. That would bring in over $3500. Each student received a pledge envelope, and pledges were also collected online.”

A representative of the HSF came to the school on April 16 to outline the program, and the kids literally

jumped at the opportunity.

“The response from the community has been overwhelming. We have received over $12,000 in pledges so far,” said Cox. “We won’t know what the final tally is until after May 8, but we certainly didn’t anticipate this kind of enthusiasm. It’s very rewarding.”

The school has set aside Thursday, May 14 and Friday, May 15 as the days when the jump rope activities will take place at the school.

“Each class will have an hour during one of the two days, and there will be a variety of different stations in the gym and outside where they can do their skipping,” said Cox. He noted that skipping isn’t as popular as it once was in schools, but this campaign is sparking a bit of a comeback for the activity at the school.

“A lot of the boys were reluctant to try it at first, but we showed them videos of professional boxers and other male athletes that use skipping ropes as part of their training, and now that stigma is pretty much gone,” said Cox. “All the kids are doing as much skipping as they can to get ready for the big event.”

Venture Heights Grade 3 teacher Brent Campbell gets some help adjusting his “Buzz Lightyear” oxygen tanks and breathing apparatus from Martensville firefighter Darren Remenda during a classroom demonstration on fire safety on Monday, May 4. Remenda, a 13-year veteran with Martensville Fire Rescue, explained to the kids how they can protect themselves in the event of a fire. The children learned not to play with matches or lighters, to understand what smoke alarms are for, and how to “stop, drop and roll” to extinguish flames. Like their colleagues in other communities, Martensville Fire Rescue personnel are volunteer firefighters and First Responders who are trained to professional standards. They spend countless hours training and respond on a daily basis to numerous medical, fire and motor vehicle collision calls. So far this year, there have been three house fires in Martensville.

Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance creates excitement with 2015 recital

By Wayne Shiels essenceofsask@gmail.com A touch of Ukraine was enjoyed by all as Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance held their 2015 recital program at the WCMS Theatre on Thursday, April 30 and Friday, May 1.

Parents, grandparents and friends who attended were treated to the beauty and precision of Ukrainian dance as club members displayed their talents before a very appreciative audience.

Performances included solos, duets, trios and groups from beginner to advanced representing dance styles and costumes from different regions of the Ukraine.

Master of Ceremonies, Brenda Stokalko, shared a history of the club and thanked past and present volunteers for their commitment to make it possible that Ukrainian culture can be shared and enjoyed by all. She stated these efforts are very worthwhile when you see the passion the students put into their danc-

ing. She talked about how Warman has been very welcoming as the organization was forced to relocate due to lack of space in Saskatoon after the building they had been in for 20 years was torn down.

The program included special performances by guest artists, Pavlychenko Folklorique Ensemble.

Serhij Koroliuk, artistic director of Pavlychenko Folklorique Ensemble talked about the connection between the school and the dance company. He explained, “We want to give encouragement and support to this club, with the hope for the youngsters to gain inspiration.”

“It also gives an opportunity for the kids to advance, and give them a goal to work towards.”

Pavlychenko is a world-renowned group, and Koroliuk said one of the benefits of joining the group is the experience of travelling the world when touring.

The three instructors at

Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance; Sonya, Christina and Justin also shared that experience as members of Pavlychenko.

For many of the younger members of the school this was their first chance to see Pavlychenko up close and their eyes were as big as saucers as the group performed with precicion, rhythm and incredible moves. A common reaction was “ I want to do that”.

The excitement and energy they brought definitely gave kids something to aspire to and left the audience with an unforgettable experience. This was especially true when Pavlychenko ended the evening with their Holubka dance. Master of Ceremonies, Brenda Stokalko was not exaggerating when she said don’t blink or you will miss something.

Ukrainian dance has found a home in Warman and Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance looks toward the future with excitement and optimism.

Sherry Anderson of Delisle inducted into provincial Legends of Curling Honour Roll Originally from Christopher Lake, Anderson started curling when she was only eight years old and played with her sisters, Jacquie, Avis and Susan out of the Lake Curling Club.

Donna Gignac joined Anderson’s team soon after Susan moved to Saskatoon.

The team went on to win its first women’s provincial title in 1994.

A year later both Avis and Jacquie left the team and were replaced by Elaine McCoy and Kay Montgomery, who helped Anderson win a women’s curling provincial title in 1995.

Anderson said it is an honour to be recognized for her achievements in sport.

“It was nice in 1994 because there hadn’t been a women’s curling representative out of the province for quite a few years. I think the last time previous was in the 70s,” said Anderson.

“In 2002 and 2004 we had a different team Delisle curler Sherry Anderson and members of her provincial champion and Scotties Tournament of Heart teams Kim Hodson, made up of two or three teams from Donna Gignac, Elaine McCloy, Kay Montgomery and Jeremy the Saskatoon Laughren, stepson of the late Sandra Mulroney were inducted area.

Gignac qualified to curl at the Olympic Trials held in Regina.

During those years Anderson made eight Scott Tournament of Hearts appearances. She lost in the semi-final in 1994 and in 2002 she skipped a team with Hodson, Mulroney and Gigac, who lost in the final to Colleen Jones.

In 2004 Anderson finished 7-4 at the Scott Tournament of Hearts and was honoured with the Marj Mitchell Sportsmanship Award.

Anderson also won several grand slam titles over her career.

ers.

During the opening ceremonies a younger female curler, also from Delisle, Payton Worth, grand daughter of curling legend Harold Worth, was honoured. Payton Worth was part of the Hanna - Anderson Juvenile Women’s Provincial winning team this year.

Each year all provincial winning teams are invited to attend the Parade of Champions, which starts off the evening. Any teams present are acknowledged by parading them all in prior to the dinner.

Anderson’s induction makes it six Delisle curlers, including Jim Hill, Elmer McNiven, Harold Worth, Fay Coben-Gardner and July Leonard, who are all members of the Legends of Curling Honour Roll.

Adding another Delisle resident to the honour roll doesn’t surprise Shoemaker.

“That town has always had great curlers and there are curlers that I admired when I was young and got to play against,” said Shoemaker.

Now that she has the legend distinction, Anderson said she has no plans of retiring.

“I think as an athlete you always want to do better.

I’ve had a decent career. I have enjoyed it along the way, but I could have done more,” said Anderson. “I got close to but never achieved.

I can’t say my career has been totally fulfilled. That’s for sure but I am not quitting so I want to see how things go in the next couple of years.”

Anderson said she is going to skip a new team with younger curlers, including lead Brie Spilchen, second Elyse Lafrance and third Jessica Hanson.

She said the team has about seven bonspiels lined up including a world curling tour in the fall.

Warman Gems gear up for new fastball season

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Warman Gems kick off their 2015 fastball season this week with a revamped roster and an optimistic outlook.

The Gems are one of eight teams in the Ken Gunn Division of the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA). They were slated to play their first game on Tuesday, May 5, and their

second game on Thursday, May 7, both at Bob Van Impe Stadium in Saskatoon.

While the core of the roster remains intact, there has been some turnover, said Gems player-manager Mike Stefanuk in an e-mail to the Gazette. He said some players have retired or moved on to other teams, while oth-

Aberdeen animator has the best of both worlds at home

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Computer generated children’s movies have certainly provided a different perspective on how we see the world, and Aberdeen animator Sheldon Kruger has been fortunate enough to put his own personal stamp on a few notable computer-generated imagery (CGI) franchises.

During the summer months Kruger helps out on his parents farm four miles south of Aberdeen. His other full-time job includes work for Saskatoon-based DIG Animation Studios. The studio responsible for CGI advertising commercials for Sasktel.

Kruger said growing up he was always drawing characters or objects in motion. Even though the arts was something encouraged in his family, drawing was something he got away from during his teenage years until he attended California State University, Fullerton in 2002.

“I was doing a graphic design degree but it really wasn’t satisfying,” he said.

When he found out the university also offered an animation program, he jumped at the opportunity and in 2006 graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in the discipline.

Kruger said many different types of specialists are needed to make one single character in a children’s animated feature come to life.

“Once you know the character design and story boards on the

CGI side, a character is sculpted by modelers, first in clay. Then it is handed off to a modeler who will transfer the clay model to a computer. Then texture artists will give the character skin and clothes and make sure the character moves in a realistic fashion,” said Kruger.

“Characters also need a skeleton so after the texture artists are finished with their additions, a character will then be handed off to a rigger (skeleton) who will add a rig do it and give it joints. They will build a bone or joint wherever you want the character to bend and controllers on the face.”

Controllers are tools animators use to give the character movement and facial expression, essentially bringing it to life.

Shortly after graduation Kruger was having difficulty finding work in the industry until he received advice from an alumnus telling him he should get more education on character-building, so he took an online animation course called animationmentor.com. The people who taught the online course were all professionals working for Disney, Blue Sky and other studios.

Kruger made a positive impression on one of the Blue Sky professionals who offered him a job in

Aberdeen animator Sheldon Kruger works on films for Blue Sky and other major studios. The red, blue and yellow thin lines in the cartoon frame around both characters are controllers he uses to move the character New York. That job happened to be “Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” in 2008-09.

Kruger worked nine months on the movie, bringing all the main characters to life including the adorable but unlucky acorn chasing saber-tooth squirrel, Scrat.

“It was exciting. I did a lot of action shots with all the characters and made them talk, then the group of animators, including myself, working on a particular sequence would sit down with the director and go through it shot by shot,” Kruger.

After that opportunity Kruger’s schedule got a little busier.

From 2009-2011 Kruger lent his talents to other CGI movies including “Alvin and the Chipmunks (the Squeakqual)”, Rio, a Sean Penn/Brad Pitt movie called “Tree of Life,” “Hotel Transylvania” and “Happy Feet 2.”

Constant travel for work commitments in Vancouver, Australia, Los Angeles and New York was exciting at first, but the novelty quickly wore off over the years.

In addition, Kruger and the love of his life, whom he met in New York, both had plans to raise a family. So the pull of returning to the family farm proved to be an attractive option.

In the fall of 2013 Kruger moved back to Saskatchewan, He found that he could combine farming with his work as an animator in Saskatoon.

Kruger has been employed by DIG since that time. He said working for a local company is differ-

ent than being among 30 animators that worked on Ice Age. “It is a process similar to the big studios, but for DIG I get to see more of the process. In a big studio I was in my department of 500 employees. You are locked down and you don’t get the opportunity to see a lot of the areas,” said Kruger.

“Here we have three animators, a coordinator that is making the commercials, and the owner of the company. We also get to look at each other’s work and help each other. It is different that way and I enjoy being involved.”

It was a lucky find for Kruger finding a studio that understands his family obligations, having a young child and his love of farming.

“I am lucky to have both sides understanding that animation, my family and farming are a part of my life,” said Kruger.

Kruger, who is the son of accomplished painter Mary Kruger, said his parents always encouraged a love of the arts and always gave him 100 per cent support.

Working on big budget animation projects was a great experience, but having a place to call home and a family has its own rewards, said Kruger.

Clever parody, skilled acting earn awards for Warman Drama Club

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca When the sound system at the Region 11 high school drama festival in Prince Albert unexpectedly went on the blink at the last minute, the cast and crew of Warman High School’s senior drama club production had to do some quick thinking.

Their play, “The Actor Games,” relied heavily on music, lighting and powerpoint graphics. Without the visual and musical cues, the comedy was in big danger of falling flat.

But the show must go on.

The actors had only one chance to make a big impression on the judges, and they made the most of it.

“The kids really stepped up and improvised as they went along,” said Jan Wilkes, a teacher at WHS who directed the production along with Brett Rowland and Tennille Fishley. “They didn’t miss a beat. In fact, they carried if off so well they got extra points for their ingenuity.”

The WHS production won second place at the regional drama festival. Clavet Composite School, another Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) school, captured top marks.

They beat out larger high schools based in Saskatoon and Prince Albert to claim the top two spots.

Wilkes said she’s happy with the way things turned out.

“It would have been nice to win the regional crown and go on to provincials, but one of our lead actors is scheduled for an operation and wouldn’t have been able to go, so we would have

had to forgo the opportunity anyway,” she said. “Clavet’s play was truly outstanding and they deserved to win.

We were really impressed with them.”

But the WHS play also had its share of accolades.

A comedy that parodies various acting styles, from Shakespeare to melodrama, silent film and Hollywood, the Actor Games’ theme offers a quirky twist on the popular Hunger Games movies.

A game-show format that pits characters portraying different acting styles in head-to-head showdowns offered a great opportunity for the kids to ham it up.

The broad-strokes juvenile comedy was spiced up with some subtle adult-oriented jokes to appeal to a wide audience.

Co-Director Brett Rowland said the bare-bones set design was aimed at highlighting the outlandish costumes, garish screen graphics and snappy dialogue.

“It’s a play that’s driven by the acting,” said Rowland.

Wilkes said many of the members of the WHS senior drama club are new this year, so the second-place finish was a testament to their talent and teamwork.

“We’re so proud of our kids,” she said.

The play earned several acting awards as well as best visual presentation.

The cast and crew incudes Andrew Forsberg, Alex Diemert, Brandon Gill, Phoebe Petkau, Laura Tebay, Jonny MacPherson, Alison Forsberg, Nicole Philipchuk, Adam Parenteau, Bree Petkau, Chelsea Doerksen, Kennedy Simonson, Makenna Helstad, Emily Zunti, Troy

Clavet, Hanley win awards at regional drama festivals

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Clavet Composite School drama students walked away with the Best Overall Production for their play “Shuttersome: Tales of Poe” at the Saskatchewan Region 11 Drama Festival in Prince Albert April 24.

Clavet students now advance to the provincial drama festival at the University of Regina. They are slated to perform at the provincial festival May 8.

The play, inspired by five books of world renowned author Edgar Allen Poe, contains segments of Poe’s work. Students then interpret those segments through acting, singing and dance.

There were few moments where a single performer stole the show, said Clavet Composite School Drama Teacher Ulrich.

The Clavet Drama team also includes Leslie Schmidt, Jon Pedersen and Brayden Bentley.

“We were looking for something different than what we have done in the past. We always try to change it up and experiment with different genres of drama,” said Ulrich. “We have done comedies before but this one was dark. There was more movement involved in this play, which is challenging because there was a lot of teamwork involved.”

It is the second time in three years that the school won the award; but every time you win it is special, said Ulrich.

She said the kids were excited about winning the award and she was very proud of their efforts, but Ulrich reminded students

before their performance at regional festival to not let the promise of an award be a distraction.

“I told them to give it their all, see what happens and then anything you get is a gift. If you do get an award, realize that you worked very hard for it,” said Ulrich. “I know they worked hard. They are definitely deserving of the award.”

There were also individual awards handed out during the competition. Tallasse Crosby won the Best Stage Manager Award. Bailey Royer was runner up for the Bob Hinitt Technical Award, Royer also won the Acting Merit Award, Gracie Brissaw won the Lighting Merit Award, Risa Koetting won the Cheer Award. The entire cast won the Acting Merit award for teamwork.

Hanley Composite School

The drama club at Hanley Composite School performed their play One Giant Lamp at the SDF Region 6 competition in Davidson and won every award except Best Overall Picture.

Their play tells the story of two elderly ladies who are forced to live on the moon and coexist with aliens when the earth becomes too crowded.

Nicola Classen won the Shining Star Award, Morgan Lester and Maeve Knudsen won the Technical Certificate of Merit Award, Taylor Seymour won the Acting Certificate of Merit Award, Technical Awards of Merit went to Hank Safarik for sound and Aiden Classen for Assistant Stage Manager duties. Other awards included Truman Griffin who re-

ceived the Bob Hinitt Award for Best technical Performance, Nicola Classen won the Mary Ellen Burgess Award for Best Actor, Morgan Lester won the award for Best Stage Manager, andBest Technical Crew award went to Morgan Lester, Aiden Classen, Truman Griffin, Hank Safarik, Maeve Knudsen) Drama students also won awards for Best Technical and Best Visual Production.

Leanne Griffin, Drama director for Hanley Composite School’s drama club, said despite not winning the award for best overall, students were happy with the response they received from audiences after three performances of their play at the school and at the regional competition.

Part of the challenge with their play was the creation of an alien language, which students had to execute in an expressive way that still told a story without losing the audience.

Griffin said adjudicators appreciated how challenging this task was to achieve for students during the performance of the play.

“Some of what the Sask Drama Association adjudicators are told to look for is endeavor so that is the creative aspects of the play, how difficult it is and whether it was achieved,” said Griffin.

Griffin said she is always looking outside the box when it comes to selecting what plays students are to perform annually.

“My goal as a director is for them to appreciate different types of plays and stretch their abilities so that was a big success,” Griffin.

Veteran takes ‘long way home’ On May 1, Kate MacEachern of The Long Way Home organization began a 3,100 km walk from Nipawin, Saskatchewan to Chilliwack, British Columbia to raise funds in support of PostTraumatic Stress Disorder awareness and treatment.

Funds raised through the walk will support the following organizations: Wounded Warriors Weekend, The NASH Project, PAWS Fur Thought, and Alpha K9.

Kate will wear a GPS tracker on her walk so people can follow her progress through her website at www.thelongwayhome.com.

She will pass by the following Saskatchewan communities: • Nipawin • Prince Albert • North Battleford • Lloyminster Four therapy horses and two therapy dogs from The Nash Project will accompany Kate on her journey.

The Nash Project is a nonprofit organization based in Lethbridge, Alberta, that trains horses and dogs to assist people with PTSD and other special needs.

Kate MacEachern served 8 years in the Canadian Army as a Tanker. At work

in 2007, she suffered grievous injuries including a broken neck, spinal cord damage, and a fractured skull.

Her family was told she would remain in a vegetative state indefinitely; she walked out 9 days later. She suffered a stroke from her injuries and again recovered to return to work. Kate founded the non-profit organization The Long Way Home to create awareness and funds for the treatment of PTSD. In 2012, she walked 576 km from New Brunswick to Nova Scotia, and in 2013, she walked 1,864 km from Cape Breton to Ottawa.

Emergency Preparedness Week marked May 3 to 9 marks National Emergency Preparedness Week in the province.

“All Saskatchewan families need to take the time to plan for emergencies -what you need and where you will go in the event of a flood, fire, or storm,” Provincial Fire Commissioner Duane McKay said. “Putting together a plan for your home only takes a few hours but can save lives.”

One of the easiest things a family can do when emergency planning is to pre-

pare a basic kit, which is accessible in the home, with supplies that should last at least 72 hours. Family kits should include: bottled water, flashlight, radio and batteries, first-aid kit, non-perishable food and a manual can opener, prescriptions, medications and medical documents, cash, information such as your home’s floor plan, location of emergency exits, a meeting area, up-to-date contact information and health card information. For more informa-

tion about preparing a 72 hour kit visit the Government of Canada’s “Get Prepared” website at www.getprepared.gc.ca.

Emergency Management organizations across the country also suggest once you have your family’s plan and 72 hour kit ready that you should adequately prepare for the safety of your pets. Pet kits should include: Leashes, harnesses, and pet carriers, Blanket, non-perishable pet food, and bowls, water, and toys.

Hague drop-in centre provides youth with a sense of belonging

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca When The Zone first opened its doors in 1999, its goal was to help “at risk” teenagers avoid the pitfalls of drugs and alcohol.

Sixteen years later, that’s still the number one priority for the youth drop-in centre in Hague.

“The people who got the ball rolling on this youth centre felt that if they could save even one young person from making a mistake, then it was all worth it,” said The Zone Director Larry Fehr. “I know it’s made a big difference in many young lives over the years, and I hope it keeps going for a long time yet.”

The Zone is operated under the auspices of the Saskatoon Youth For Christ (YFC) chapter. Fehr is the only full-time employee, and he works with a board of directors and volunteers to map out a fundraising strategy to pay the bills, as well as programming and activities for young people throughout the year. In addition to holding down a part-time job as a bus driver for Valley Christian Academy in Osler, he’s also the janitor, maintenance man and public relations officer for the Zone. But his informal job description also includes trusted counselor and role model for young teens who may find it difficult talking to most adults.

The youth centre is locat-

It is. But it’s simply put out there as an option for kids to follow up on their own if they feel so inclined. We don’t push it on anybody.”

Fehr said the majority of youth who frequent the drop-in centre don’t belong to any church. He said while the numbers of youth using the facility have declined re-

cently compared to earlier years, it’s still a busy place.

He estimates about 20 youth can be found there on a typical evening, “if there’s no hockey game on that night.”

“Ultimately, we’re trying to keep kids out of trouble and give them a safe place where they can socialize and just be kids,” said Fehr.

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

The Zone Director Larry Fehr lines up a shot on the drop-in centre’s pool table. The Zone is a youth drop-in centre in Hague that has been in continuous operation since 1999 ed in a former commercial strip mall adjacent to the old Highway 11 service road. It was purchased for $35,000 in 1998 after the town took back the property for unpaid taxes. Parents and volunteers raised funds to purchase the building, and then pitched in to completely renovate the interior and exterior, outfitting the space with pool tables, booths and other furniture. The objective was to make a safe, welcoming, non-judgmental environment for young people to hang out with their friends.

Fehr, a third-generation dairy farmer, came on the scene as the assistant director a few months after the centre first opened in 1999.

At the time, the oldest of his four boys was in Grade 9, a “vulnerable age” when many kids often start experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Fehr said he developed a personal interest in the centre because he was concerned for his own kids’ future.

Shortly after he started, he took on the role of Director. By then he had sold his dairy cattle and was committed to the career change.

He credits the contribution of volunteers and board members for the success of The Zone, the longest-running youth centre of its kind in Canada.

“It’s a good place for kids,” he said in an interview at the centre on Thursday, April 11. “It’s been around for sixteen years, so people maybe take it for granted, but there are many people who are very passionate about keeping this going.

The fundraising events always seem to bring out people’s generosity because

they know it’s a good cause and they want to support it.”

A recent auction in Hague brought in about $23,000 for The Zone. The next one won’t be for another two years, to avoid tapping too deeply into supporters’ pockets too often, said Fehr. The centre also holds an annual fundraising banquet every fall, and its second annual golf tournament is slated for next month.

In addition to providing games, activities and music for its youthful clientele, The Zone also organizes periodic camping trips to northern Saskatchewan and excursions to Christian-oriented youth conferences.

Fehr said while the YFC is the overseer for The Zone, it’s “not a Bible-thumping” place.

“That was one of the foundations laid out at the beginning,” said Fehr. “When it comes to religion, there are church youth groups for that. I’m not saying it’s not a part of what we do here.

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.

FIrefighters training for final certification in June vided a fitting kickoff for Emergency Preparedness Week (May 3-9).

BATTLED GRASSFIRES

Martensville firefighters were called into action on Saturday, May 2 to assist Dalmeny Fire Rescue battle a grassfire near Dalmeny.

High winds fanned the flames and made things difficult for firefighters, but the blaze was eventually brought under control.

While Dalmeny firefighters mopped up the last of that fire, Martensville fire personnel got a second call about another grassfire just west of Martensville.

“We sent two trucks with a good size crew to help Dalmeny, and then came

back right away to fight another one,” said Dyck. “In total we were out there for about five hours on Saturday. We almost didn’t want to do this (training exercise) today because we all had our share of fighting fires yesterday.”

Dyck said he wasn’t certain how the grassfire near Dalmeny started, but the one near Martensville started as a controlled burn that “got away” from the landowner.

“The fire ban in Corman Park was lifted after last weekend’s snowfall,” said Dyck. “But it’s dried up pretty quickly. We may have to put a fire ban back on. It keeps threatening rain but never seems to come.”

Great Plains College Warman campus students celebrate graduation

By ELIZABETH HEATCOTE Great Plains College Communications Coordinator Students from the Great Plains College Warman Campus gathered with over 150 friends, family and classmates at the Brian King Centre on April 30 to celebrate their graduation.

“Graduations are a time when we stop the regular pattern of our work day and take time to acknowledge, congratulate and celebrate the students and their accomplishments,” said Rob Neufeld, Great Plains College region manager.

The college, through programs and support services, strives to ensure that graduates are prepared to take the next step to a successful future.

“Graduates, isn’t that the reason why you enrolled last fall? You wanted to set a direction—determining your own destination— for your career and your life,” said Neufeld as he addressed the graduates. Some students will, or already have, entered the workforce.

Others have used the certificate programs as a bridge to higher education opportunities.

Students who completed Adult Basic Education, Administrative Assistant, Early Childhood Education, Educational Assistant and Youth Care Worker certificate programs were recognized at the ceremony. Outstanding Academic Achievement and Professionalism Awards were presented to a student from each program.

The Outstanding Academic Achievement Awards for highest overall average were presented to Jesse Boldt, Adult Basic Education; Courtney Ady, Administrative Assistant; Karen Lisoway, Early Childhood Education; Sheila Spychaj, Educational Assistant; and Mikayla Balon, Youth Care Worker.

The Professionalism Awards were presented to students who conduct themselves in a particularly professional manner throughout the year. The winners of this unique post-secondary award were Rachel Berg, Adult Basic Education; Candace Garner, Administrative Assistant; Charmaine Stone, Early Childhood Education; Sheila Spychaj, Educational Assistant; and Cheryl McAvoy, Youth Care Worker.

“We have watched the students work very hard all year. It is exciting to give them this opportunity to celebrate their achievement,” added Neufeld.

In the upcoming 2015-16 academic year, the Business certificate program will be added to the list of course offerings at the Warman Campus. Students in the program will be prepared to enter the workforce, pursue an entrepreneurial lead or continue their post-secondary education and transfer directly into a diploma program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic. Students may also apply the certificate’s cred-

its toward a degree at several other colleges and universities.

The Great Plains College Warman Campus also offers an eight-week Boom Truck, Crane & Hoist Operator preemployment program and recently added a six-week Heavy Equipment Operator program to its regular course offerings. Students from the programs were celebrated upon the completion of their respective programs.

SASKVOLLEYBALL

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Sask Volleyball’s Waldheim Briercrest U16 Women’s team have their sights set on a national title as they prepare to head to the 2015 Volleyball Canada Championship in Calgary, May 14-19.

Briercrest defeated Saskatoon JCVC 25-20, 25-14 in the final to win the U16 Women’s Conexus Provincial Volleyball Championship April 24 in Saskatoon.

The team also won the Jordan Zacharias Memorial Volleyball Classic February 6-7 in Saskatoon and the Edmonton Panda New Year’s Classic.

Briercrest has only lost two games their entire season.

Briercrest head coach Chris Loewen said the girls have exceeded his expectations this year.

“We were able to have nine athletes that have all been dedicated to coming out to practices and showing up big in games. It has been a tremendous season,” said Loewen.

Loewen said what makes this team unique is their ability to play calm under pressure.

“The girls are very positive; not emotional, in that they don’t get too high or too low and they are able to come together regardless of what happens between points,” said Loewen. “They have a good skill level overall and are able to push each other at practice to compete hard and try their best.”

The team also had four members: Jess,

Zacharias, Mia Harder, Reece Harder, and Kayla Zazula, who also won a Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association provincial title with Waldheim School this year.

As challenging as some of their games were this year, Loewen said he was especially proud of the efforts of Jayda Harder and Madison Toombs, who had to learn how to play a new position this year.

Heading into the Volleyball Canada Championship Loewen said he is not going to have a lot of information on participating teams at the tournament to prepare ahead of time. Despite that Loewen said he would still like Briercrest to medal.

“It is a whole different atmosphere at this tournament because they have 20 to 30 courts in one area and it is really loud so there is a lot going on,”said Loewen. “I think composure is a big one for me and that the girls continue to put out the effort for each other to pursue the best.”

All teams get tiered based on how they finish provincially, which Loewen expects should put them in a top tier pool heading into the championship.

Loewen said in their down time he plans on playing a couple of matches against a U18 team in preparation for their trip to Calgary.

“There is a U18 team in town that we will hopefully get a chance to scrimmage with, which will be good for us. It will be good for our team to put out more of an effort and push,” said Loewen.

Warman Gems fastball

ers have family commitments.

At the same time, there’s been an injection of new blood as younger players are added to the lineup and some veterans have been picked up from other teams.

Stefanuk said Jordie Gagnon and Ryan Olde have joined the Delisle Diamond Dogs for the year in hopes of wining a Canadian Senior A title.

“They may rejoin us for provincials,” said Stefanuk.

Darwin Davis, one of the longest-serving players on the team and the de facto manager of the team, has finally hung up his golden glove, at least temporarily, said Stefanuk.

“Darwin is taking the year off, anyway,” said Stefanuk. “So it appears as though I will be the head

coach by default.”

Monty Scherr is also not on the roster due to work commitments, and Richard Hesse is taking the year off to do some umpiring.

Stefanuk said one of the big additions to the team’s lineup this year is Andrew Busby, who played many years with Delisle.

“Andrew is a standout athlete who was possibly the best wide receiver the Saskatoon Hilltops football team has ever had,” said Stefanuk. “Andy can also pitch, so we will have great use for him. Andy is a toplevel ball player who has played 11 years with Delisle and just wants a change.”

Other additions include Todd Dyck, a former Gem who pitched for the Saskatoon Padres last season; and Mitchell Morin,

brother of veteran Jeremy Morin.

Stefanuk said the team is hoping to add two more players to the lineup, including a pitcher.

The roster at this point includes: Stefanuk, Matt Scherr, Josh Reid, Shane Reid, Mario Degagne, Chris Lehmann, Kendall Hanikenne, Chad Keating, Jeremy Morin, Mitchell Morin, Andrew Busby, Evan Kachmarski,, Todd Dyck and Jordan Asselin.

The team is gearing up for the provincial Senior Men’s C fastball championship, which is tentatively scheduled for Saskatoon July 2426.

The full schedule, along with game results, is available online at the SASA website at www.saskatoonamateursoftball.com .

Saskatchewan grasslands in danger

By HILARY KLASSEN hilarylklassen@gmail.com When grasslands are under threat, it may require a grass roots movement to protect them. Such a movement is currently gaining momentum in Saskatchewan as awareness of the threat is growing through some concentrated efforts.

The film, Grasslands was shown in Saskatoon recently at the Saskatoon Public Library theatre. The free event packed the venue, drawing an estimated 250 people, with some standing along the sidelines and spilling out the door. The film, directed by former Saskatchewan resident Ian Toews, features mainly the resplendent landscapes of Grasslands National Park in the southern part of the province, along with stunning scenes of resident wildlife in their habitats. Seen through the eyes of ranchers, conservationists and aboriginal people, the film makes a compelling case for the grasslands.

When the federal government divested itself of responsibility for the PFRA (Prairie Farm Rehabilita-

tion Administration) pastures in Saskatchewan in 2013, responsibility for them fell to the province. The province’s plan was to sell them off, and although that plan has encountered opposition from pasture patrons, conservationists, artists, First Nations groups, and a wide range of Saskatchewan citizens, it is still not fully off the table.

Public Pastures Public Interest (PPPI) is a group of rural and urban individuals interested in conserving the grasslands in Saskatchewan. One such individual is Trevor Herriot, a well-known author in the province. Herriot was introduced to the audience by Candace Savage, and spoke as an activist following the film screening.

“We have 1.7 million acres and 62 pastures in the province and we’re arguing very much that we are at risk of losing them,” said Herriot.

“Although the majority of our landscape and northern Great Plains was lost and cultivated during the first 50 or 60 years of settlement of our ancestors coming here and settling the place,

and we were down to 30 per cent left, we have continued over the last 30 years to lose little bits here and there.

It isn’t stopping. There are still people rounding off corners and getting off 30 to 40 acres here, a hundred acres there, cultivating ancient grasslands. These are really old places, this is our old growth prairies just in the same way that old growth forests are valuable and irreplaceable,” said Herriot in an interview.

Only 11 per cent of our Aspen parkland remains, according to Herriot, and there’s grassland right around Saskatoon and area that is in even greater danger than Grasslands National Park. A number of pastures in the south-east have been damaged by the oil and gas industry.

A transition process is currently underway as 10 pastures a year are being handed over by the federal government. “There’s a big pasture called Wolverine out by Lanigan that’s one of the best pieces in the Aspen system which has been transitioned already.” Ten will come to the province this

year. “The province then makes a deal with the grazing patrons forcing them to form a business or a co-op with people they sometimes have never met before to come up with a plan of managing and governing and taking care of the public interest of these lands themselves. We don’t do that with any other ecosystem in Canada,” said Herriot.

Saskatchewan Agriculture continues to say the pastures are still technically available for purchase, even though nobody has offered to buy one yet, according to Herriot. If the land falls into private hands, the public interest of conservation cannot be guaranteed in perpetuity.

The PPPI believes the solution is public ownership with publicly accountable management and governance, with participation from a full range of stakeholders - cattle producers, conservationist and heritage groups, rural municipalities, the archeological society and first nations.

“Together we think we can come up with a governance and management system that would, at a very low cost to the province, manage Saskatchewan’s

Saskatchewan Grasslands are under threat, sustaining serious losses from the onset of colonization to the present day. The provincial government wants to turn PFRA pastures handed over to the province by the federal government into privately owned land, placing future conservation under threat. most endangered landscapes for the long term,” said Herriot.

The grasslands invite us to slow down, to take the long view. Herriot said he has made it his mission as a writer to try to open people’s hearts and minds up to the beauty of the Great Plains.

His favourite grassland is the PFRA pasture at Val Marie.

“I often think of it as a much more contemplative place. You slow down and let it come into you, spend time

there alone, not walking along chattering or driving quickly, but just being quiet, sitting still and letting the grassland seep into you.

And many people will find it a deep and profound experience and will come back again and again.”

Grasslands are considered the most endangered ecotype on the continent. The evening ended with a plea to the public to write premier Brad Wall and ask him the difficult questions, like, “What is your plan for protecting these pastures?”
