Three men face charges after stolen property recovered in area

quilting magazine recognition

MARIE STRUMECKI | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

The Prairie Chicks store in Warman achieved national recognition in a recent edition of Quilt Sampler Magazine, a Better Homes and Gardens special interest publication. Last weekend a celebration evening was held to mark the publication of the article and the nine years since the business first began in Hague. Approximately 110 people attended. Pictured are (left to rght) Jen Unger, Amanda Reddekopp, Tammy Guliker (owner), Lilly Miller, Krisa Guliker, Barb Stoker (Assistant Manager), and Joyce Ginther.

Saskatoon Police Service Break and Enter Unit has arrested and charged three men, with multiple break and enters and possession of stolen property in relation to a number of business break-ins that occurred predominantly in the north end of Saskatoons.

Mitchell Honoroski, 22, Joel Hinz, 31, and Clayton Peters 43, face a total of over 30 property offence related charges.

As a result of a combination of increased police presence, public assistance, and police intelligence, the three males were apprehended and two search warrants were executed on Saturday, May 9 outside of Saskatoon, with the assistance of the RCMP, one being in the town of Osler and the other being on a farmyard north

Spike belt ends Highway 11 chase

Rosthern RCMP were forced to use a spike belt to end a high-speed chase over the weekend.

A 30-year-old woman from Saskatoon, Rhoda Heimbecker, was arrested in connection with the incident and was slated to appear in provincial court on Monday, May 11.

On Friday, May 8 at approximately 2:15 p.m., Prince Albert RCMP learned of an SUV driving erratically at a high rate of speed on Highway 11. The vehicle entered Rosthern RCMP’s detachment area on Highway 11 traveling at speeds between 150 and 170 km/hr.

Initial investigation reveaoed that the SUV was in Prince Albert when police learned that it was stolen from Saskatoon. Prince Albert Police Service officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the vehicle continued on. Prince Albert Police

Service pursued the vehicle until they reached Prince Albert city limits, at which time the RCMP was notified.

The vehicle traveled southbound on Highway 2 before cutting across back roads traveling west to Highway 11, going through stop signs and weaving through traffic. The vehicle was not being pursued by police at this time.

Rosthern RCMP deployed a spike belt in the southbound lane of Highway 11, approximately four kilometers north of Rosthern. The SUV went over the spike belt and came to a stop.

The lone 30-year-old female driver (from Saskatoon) of the SUV was not injured and was arrested without incident by Rosthern RCMP. Thankfully, no collisions with members of the public occurred on any roadways as a result of this incident.

Police had stopped up to 70 vehicles on Highway 11 dur-

ing this incident for safety reasons. Highway 11 was reopened at 2:45 p.m. once the vehicle was removed from the scene. Charges are pending against the female driver and the investigation is ongoing.

Enforcement in construction zones a priority, says Heppner

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Drivers need to obey highway construction zone speed limits and pay attention to safety signs, says Saskatchewan’s Minister of Highways and Infrastructure.

Nancy Heppner said the deaths of three teen boys and the injury of a highways worker after a car was struck from behind by a semi at a highway construction zone near Spalding last week is a senseless tragedy that shouldn’t have happened.

“Slowing down to 60 kilometers an hour in construction zones is critical,” said Heppner during a news conference in Saskatoon on Friday, May 8. “It is not a suggestion. It is the law. All drivers need to take responsibility and pay attention, be alert and obey the signs.”

Heppner said safety, particularly in highway construction zones, is her ministry’s top priority. She noted that recommendations coming out of the current investigation into the accident near Spalding will be given serious and immediate consideration.

“My desire is to have whatever safety improvements we can identify implemented as soon as possible,” she said.

Drivers face triple the nor-

mal fines for driving faster than 60 kilometers per hour in work zones. Heppner said heavier enforcement, including the continued use of photo enforcement will be used to catch speeders.

record CONSTRUCTION

Heppner’s reminder to motorists to exercise caution in “orange zones” was made during the unveiling of the provincial government’s highway construction plans for this year.

Speaking at the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) maintenance shop in Saskatoon’s north end, Heppner said highway crews and road builders are tackling a record number of projects worth $842 million.

Heppner said while the province had to make some difficult budget decisions this year because of the steep drop in oil prices, it remained committed to building transportation infrastructure by increasing its investment by 27 per cent over last year.

“We are a growing province,” she said. “For our economy to thrive the infrastructure must be in place.

“This budget includes $560 million allocated to major capital projects, including twinning projects, passing lanes and overpasses.”

Heppner said the capital projects include the Regina

Bypass; overpasses at Martensville and Warman; twinning between Saskatoon and Delisle; twinning between Saskatoon and Clavet, and construction work and preconstruction work on passing lanes on Highways 7 and 5. There are also twinning projects in southern Saskatchewan, most notably around the Estevan area where oilpatch traffic is putting a severe strain on highways and rural roads.

Heppner said the province is also committed to repaving sections of Highways 1, 2, 6, 7, 11 and 16; upgrading 150 kilometers of rural highways (including Highway 27 from the junction of Highway 2 to Vonda); and a total of 41 bridge and culvert projects.

A weekly construction update will be published throughout the spring and summer months to provide the travelling public with the latest construction information.

Saskatchewan has 26,000 kilometers of provincial highways. The province is also responsible for about 2,000 kilometers of shortline railways and 12 provincially -operated ferries.

overpasses needed

Martensville Mayor Kent Muench and Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said they are happy that design and

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

pre-construction work on the Highway 11 and Highway 12 overpasses is set to begin soon.

“They’re definitely needed,” said Muench. “Safety is the number one concern for both our communities.”

Spence said the two cities have been pushing for overpasses for years, and are looking forward to the completion of both projects.

Open houses to gather input from the public on both

overpass projects were held May 11 in Martensville and May 12 in Warman.

Minister of Highways and Infrastructure Nancy Heppner unveils the province’s highway construction agenda during a news conference in Saskatoon on Friday, May 8. Highway construction zones, like this one on Highway 305 west of the juncton with Highway 12, remind motorists to slow to 60 kilometers per hour.

Province moves to stop aquatic invasive species Tribunal rules First Nations owed millions

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The provincial government’s move to beef up regulations to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) is a positive step, says Ben Buhler, Mayor of Osler and a board member of the South Saskatchewan River Watershed Stewards (SSRWS).

“I think it shows the provincial government is taking this problem seriously,”

said Buhler in an interview on Friday, May 8, “because it is a very serious problem.”

The province proclaimed May 10-16 as Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week, and unveiled changes in regulations that are aimed at preventing AIS organisms from moving into the province’s lakes and rivers.

“Saskatchewan’s lakes and waterways have significant

environmental, economic and recreational importance and aquatic invasive species such as zebra and quagga mussels pose a serious threat,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said. “Proclaiming Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week in Saskatchewan will help inform and educate the public on this critical issue. By enhancing regulations we also strengthen the province’s ability to inspect and disin-

fect high-risk watercraft entering the province, helping to protect our fish populations and aquatic habitats.”

Boat inspections and other prevention efforts; including the use of mobile decontamination units in cases where invasive mussels are discovered on watercraft; will focus on the southeast region of the province.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca An independent “Specific Claims Tribunal” has ruled that fourteen First Nations in Saskatchewan, including Beardy’s and Okemasis, are owed millions of dollars in compensation as a result of treaty annuity payments that were withheld by the federal government between

1885 and 1888.

The treaty payments, in the amount of $5 per year to individual members of the bands, were withheld by the government of Sir John A. Macdonald as a way of punishing the First Nations people for “disloyalty” CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Hague celebrates grand opening of new fire hall, town shop

By Alice Funk

The Town of Hague had been considering building a new town shop as the current facility was too small and equipment was being stored in various locations throughout the town. At the same time, the Hague Volunteer Firefighters were also considering the same option for their facility.

That’s when talks and plans started to flow in the direction of erecting one larger facility that could house the equipment for both these services. Plans and dreams were put on paper and slowly the picture became clearer.

The RM of Rosthern, having a two year joint fire agreement with the Hague Fire Department, came on board with some finances. This, along with fundraisers held by the fire association, would help to defray some of the cost.

The town owned a large piece of land on East Railway Street and it was decided that it would be a good location.

In May of 2014, the ground breaking took place and soon things started to happen. Now, one year later, the grand opening to the completed new facility was held.

Many of these facts were alluded to by Mayor Pat Wagner before the official ribbon cutting.

She thanked all the many individuals and groups that had been a part of this venture.

Also on hand for the ceremony, were: MLA Nancy Heppner; Glenn Braun, representing the Volunteer Fire Fighters; Brent Peacock for the First Responders; and Town Foremen Jim Heinbigner.

Jim surprised Mayor Wagner, when he presented the town with a cheque for $10,000. This cash had been raised by the Hague Volunteer Fire and Rescue teams and will be used to help cover some of the costs of the hall.

A reciprocal presentation saw Mayor Wagner honouring Jim, for 25 years of service to the Town

of Hague. He replied, saying thank you for an understanding council and a great staff to work with.

He also thanked the public for all the support received, for their patience in waiting for service and understanding when things didn’t go as planned. It all helps to make the town run more smoothly and to keep everyone in a good frame of mind.

The town council sponsored a free lunch of hotdogs and drinks to the many members of the audience in appreciation of their interest and support.

Hague Mayor Pat Wagner cuts the ribbon to officially open the new Fire Hall/Town Shop on Saturday, May 9. Looking on were: (L to R) Glenn Braun, Brent Peacock, Jim Heinbigner and MLA Nancy Heppner

Corman Park agrees to update fire protection agreement with Town of Asquith

Hague Elementary students raise funds for Nepal earthquake victims

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Students in Heidi MacKay’s Grade 6 class at Hague Elementary School are stepping up to help people affected by a devastating earthquake half a world away.

The April 25 earthquake that killed more than 7,000 people and left parts of the capital city of Kathmandu in rubble also devastated many isolated rural areas.

When students learned of the tragedy, they approached their teacher with ideas of how they could raise money toward the worldwide relief effort.

Four local businesses in Hague agreed to put out cans to collect donations on behalf of the class, and the class sponsored a “Hat Day” at the school. Students pay $1 to the cause for the privilege of wearing a hat at school that day. So far, the combined total raised from both initiatives is $300.

The class has a goal of $600, according to MacKay. “We just started the

fundraising this week, and the response has been incredible,” said MacKay in an interview on Thursday, May 7. “We’ve scheduled another ‘Hat Day’ on May 8 and another on May 15.”

MacKay said the fundraising effort will conclude on May 22. Any money raised and submitted during that time frame will be matched by the federal government.

MacKay said the class is studying Nepal in its Social Studies class, and the fundraising effort makes the earthquake relief campaign more relevant and immediate to the students.

“It’s not really part of our curriculum, but we always try to relate what we’re studying to ‘quality of life’ both here in Canada and in other countries,” said MacKay. “This is very relevant, and it’s also very current. We tie it in to see what their normal quality of life is like in Nepal, and contrast that with what is happening now

because of this tragedy.”

The students are also motivated to raise funds for the Nepal earthquake relief effort as a way of earning their trip to the annual “We Day” event this fall in Saskatoon.

“We have to do something for an international cause,” said MacKay. “We were going to do this anyway, and it fits right in with the criteria for We Day, so this is going to be our way to earn our ticket. We have gone in the past to this event, and there is great value in it. It brings awareness of how one person can make a difference both locally and globally.”

MacKay said the class has also done fundraising and collected donations for a local cause, specifically the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre.

MacKay said social studies is an important part of students’ education.

“Doing these kinds of efforts makes it more relevant because it engages the students,” she concluded.

parcels of land so it was done in error.”

Doug Wakabyashi, Assistant Director of Communications with the MHI, said notice was given when access to TWP Road 392 was closed in 2007. He said residents were still using the road for Highway 11 access after it was closed.

“The RM takes a contrary position, but regardless the obligation of the ministry is to consult with the neighboring municipalities, but the final decision making authority rests with the ministry,” said Wakabyashi.

“The reason why that crossing was taken out was because of the very real and significant safety concerns by people who were using that road for illegal access onto Highway 11.”

Wakabyashi also said the RM would be responsible for re-installing the crossing.

In Corman Park’s April 13 Planning Committee minutes the CTR stated the RM would have to pay an application fee of $3,150 to rebuild the CTR and pay $6,500 to create the crossing and extra costs for gates and signals if they are required.

In addition to these costs

The funding will be used to replace the community centre’s roof.

The current balance of the reserve is $570,155.66.

SCHOOL DIVISION

Corman Park, Osler look to the province for resolution on railway crossing dispute

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The RM of Corman Park and the Town of Osler is still waiting for a response from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) about their decision to close Township Road 392 four years ago.

For the past three years Town of Osler developers or Project O/Holstein have wanted to re-establish the Carlton Trail Railway (CTR) crossing at TWP 392.

Project O is the official name of the group of developers who will be working on the town’s future expansion plans.

The Holstein’s are the landowners whose property lay adjacent to TWP 392 and Highway 11’s right of way.

Right now Project O and the Holsteins don’t have access to their land unless they use TWP Road 392 and the right of way.

The town is currently in the process of working with the RM of Corman Park on annexing the lands.

At a December 1 Council Meeting meeting a motion was passed to approach the Town of Osler on a resolution to initiate the boundary alteration lying between the CTR and Highway 11.

Town of Osler representatives met with Corman Park officials at a December 8 Planning Committee meeting to discuss the possible annexation, which at this point is still ongoing.

The first issue is why TWP Road 392 within the jurisdiction of the RM of Corman Park was closed by the MHI without notification.

“That really is the whole dispute and the reason why we want the MHI to get involved in this because we feel [the road] shouldn’t have been closed,” said Tittemore in an interview. “We also feel they took away two

The RM of Corman Park approved a revised firefighting agreement with the Town of Asquith during its regular council meeting on Tuesday, May 4.

The agreement will replace the existing fire agreement from January 1, 2013.

On March 25, 2015 the Town of Asquith held a fire protection meeting with communities that they provide fire protection to and it was decided the fire rates the town had been charging in the past were no longer sufficient to cover the cost of responding to a fire call.

As a result the new charge will be $1,500 per call and $750 per hour for the first two hours rather than $1,500 per call and $500 per hour thereafter for the first three hours.

Another change includes the Town of Asquith paying for the cost of all consumable materials and no longer invoicing the costs to the RM.

sented with four ministers orders from the Minister of Education proclaiming the establishment of the Warman Roman Catholic Seperate School Division (Warman RCSSD).

They also received notice of the amalgamation of RCSSD with St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Seperate School Division (St. Paul’s RCSSD), commonly known as the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools (GSCS), effective January 1, 2015.

The orders included establishing the Warman RCSSD’s territory, amendments and recognition of the annexation of lands by the City of Warman. The notice also includes alterations of boundaries of the Prairie Spirit School Division No 206 subdivision to Subdivision No 10.

The establishment of the Catholic school division officially occurred on March 20, 2014, but the office of the Minister of Education neglected to provide the RM with any notification. The Administration recently received copies from the City of Warman.

CONFIRMED RATES

The Ministry of Government Relations confirmed the 2015 education property tax (EPT) mill rates by an order in council.

These mill rates are to be levied with respect to every school division and property class for the 2015 tax year.

Agricultural property rates were set a 2.67 mills, residential at 5.03 mills, commercial/industrial at 8.28 mills and Resource(oil, gas, mines and pipelines) are set at 11.04 mills.

LOGO BRANDING

Through the RM’s strategic planning process council identified RM of Corman Park branding as a priority for 2015. A request was made recently to investigate the design and implementation of a new logo for the municipality. Administration sourced a quote from Wit & Whim Marketing and Events which outlines the process they would undertake based on Council’s goals. The total quoted cost for the provision of this service is estimated to be between $4500 and $5450.

COMMENTARY

Saskatchewan delivers better care for the buck

By Todd MacKay

Healthcare is vitally important, but it is not a mystical rite shrouded in sacred policy. It is an important job to be done well. The quest for excellence must follow the most effective path.

The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) recently released a wait time report that indicates Saskatchewan is on that right path.

The CIHI tracks each province’s wait-times for five procedures. Saskatchewan ranked: second for hip replacements; second for knee replacements; sixth for hip fracture repairs; third for cataract surgery; and, for radiation therapy it was a virtual tie with all provinces meeting standard wait-times 90 percent of the time or better.

Saskatchewan ranked second overall for wait times.

In another report, the CIHI also tracked healthcare spending in each province. Saskatchewan spends $4,461 per capita on healthcare, according to the CIHI. That’s about 4.6 percent higher than the national average.

Newfoundland and Labrador is the only province that ranks better than Saskatchewan for wait times, but Newfoundland is also the biggest spender with $5,087 spent on healthcare per capita. That’s 19 percent higher than the national average.

Manitoba spends virtually the same as Saskatchewan ($31 less per capita) on healthcare, but its wait time performance is poor. More than a quarter of Manitobans waiting for hip replacements wait more than six months. The same is true for knee surgeries. Virtually all hip fractures were treated within two days. But more than a third of Manitobans waiting for cataract surgery wait more than 112 days.

Saskatchewan is doing something right and the answer is not simply about money.

One key difference is Saskatchewan’s decision to allow private businesses to deliver routine surgeries. Saskatchewan contracts private for-profit clinics that specialize in specific procedures such as knee surgeries. Those businesses get good at those procedures and get them done quickly and efficiently.

Now, it’s critical to understand how those private clinics are paid. No Saskatchewanian pulls out a credit card to pay for that care (although they should be able to if they wanted).

These private clinics are contracted by the province and paid by the province. The bill doesn’t go to the patient. So universal medicare is every bit as universal in Saskatchewan – it’s just faster and more efficient.

Saskatchewan started using private clinics to perform routine surgeries in 2010. The CIHI report card is clear evidence that this innovation is paying off. The commitment to innovation must continue.

There’s skepticism about Saskatchewan’s Lean initiatives to drive efficiencies in healthcare. It seems strange to use Japanese terminology and count the number of footsteps health workers take on a ward, but the government says these efficiencies are already saving millions. Over the coming years, experience and third-party validation will provide more concrete assessments. There will be both successes and failures and there will be praise and criticism accordingly. What is absolutely certain is that innovation is indispensable and we have to explore every opportunity to improve the quality of care delivered by every tax dollar.

Sometimes the destination is more important than the journey. For someone in pain, the question of public versus private delivery of care is not particularly important. What is important is relief and wellness. The CIHI says Saskatchewan is a leader in reducing wait times. A commitment to systematic innovation is a key factor. And that innovation must continue.

Alberta election a wake-up call Maybe things are not always supposed to be the way things are supposed to be.

Provincial Politics

Such thoughts cross one’s mind as one ponders the still-inconceivable phrase: Alberta NDP government.

It goes beyond the fact that even folks as old as me have really never known really seen oil-rich Alberta as anything other than Progressive Conservative blue.

For Albertans whose average is 36.5 years; a full four years younger than the national average of 40.6 years; the win by the Rachel Notley-led NDP ends that 44year PC dynasty.

But it was really the magnitude of the Notley/NDP win that has rocked the world.

At last count, the NDP were leading or ahead in 53 of the province’s 87 seats with the left-for-dead Wildrose Party in second with 20 seats. Premier Jim Pren-

tice’s PCs were a distant third at 12 seats and the Liberals and Alberta Party at one seat each. One Calgary seat was a tie between the PCs and NDP. That Prentice would even resign his leadership and even is seat (a classless move) says much about the the perceived arrogance of himself and his party.

The pre-election move in which Wildrose Opposition leader Danielle Smith crossed the floor and the decision to cal an unnecessary to wipe out the remaining opposition was all too calculating. Similarly, telling Albertans to “look in a mirror” and then presenting a budget that taxes everyone but large corporations also badly missed the mark.

What should be noted is the NDP’s win did come with remarkable vote-splitting efficiency that might silence the left for some time about their standard complaints of the first-past-thepost system.

With barely 40 per cent of the popular vote, the NDP captured 61 per cent of the seats.

That said, any party that rises from the NDP’s 10 per cent of the popular vote in 2012 Alberta election to 40 per cent has just accomplished something rather astonishing. This is a party that has never been more than third party afterthought.

This was a party that pundits (i.e. idiots like me) thought would waste much of their vote with big wins in Edmonton and little south of Red Deer. This is a party that did just as pollsters suggested they would; win big in Edmonton, but also win in virtually every other area of the province including Calgary and rural Alberta.

The big losers; as signified by the Prentice’s move; was the PC party that got 28 per cent of the vote but only 12 seats and third-party status. They had 70 of the 87 seats at the time of Prentice’s election call.

That left the Wildrose as the Official opposition gaining seats (it elected 17 MLAs in 2012 prior to being decimated by the departure of Smith and others) even though its votes popu-

lar vote dropped from 34 per cent in 2012 to 25 per cent in this election.

But the lesson here isn’t the obvious one about vote splitting or the silliness of calling an unnecessary election campaign after a crash in oil prices and a tax-increases.

The lesson is that no one; neither politicians nor the media nor the public; should assume that things will always be a certain way because it seems they have always been a certain way.

Now, this by no means suggests rural Saskatchewan and the rest of the province are about to turf Brad Wall. Or at least, the polls suggest that won’t happen and we should have renewed faith in polling after calling the Alberta vote right.

The lesson here is voters demand honest, good government and politicians.

And no matter how longstanding, popular or secure a large majority government is, things can turn on a dime.

Things are not always the way they are supposedly supposed to be.

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.

Warman, Martensville to pursue regional RCMP headquarters

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Cities of Warman and Martensville agreed to work together to come up with a plan for a joint RCMP headquarters building in five years time.

A decision to draft a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to that effect was made at a meeting last week between representatives of the cities of Warman and Martensville, as well as the RM of Corman Park.

At the Warman City Council meeting on Monday, May 11, Warman City Manager Stan Westby reported that the draft MOU will be reviewed at the next joint meeting, and will be referred to the respective councils for adoption.

SKATEBOARD PARK

Excavation work is continuing on the Warman Skate Park in Prairie Oasis Park.

Westby told council that the Great Plains College Heavy Equipment Operators Course began in early May, and four pieces of equipment are currently on the site doing excavation work for the skateboard area.

Westby noted that while the number of students enrolled in the course is down, the city still expects to benefit to the tune of $80,000 in excavating. In return for the excavation work done by students as part of their course, the city is donating $10,000 to the college, as well as providing $10,000 in diesel fuel.

The skate park is expected to be ready by late summer or early fall.

P4G Vision statement

The Partnership for Growth (P4G) Vision and Guiding Principles document has been released.

Warman City Council was told the P4G interim development strategy for the regional plan should be ready

15053SSS00

for unveiling in late May or early June. Regional open houses are slated for June 2 and 3.

MUNICIPAL AWARD

Warman City Manager Stan Westby was recently awarded a 15-year ring for his service to the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA).

The award is part of the CAMA’s Long Service Recognition Awards Program.

Westby has served as city manager in several cities for the past fifteen years, and has also been on the CAMA executive.

official community plan

Warman City Council gave first reading to a bylaw approving the city’s new Official Community Plan (OCP). The new OCP will be advertised for four consecutive weeks and will be brought back to council in a month’s time.

Following an open house on the new OCP in midMarch, a total of 34 responses were received from ratepayers.

street sweeping

Warman Public Works crews have completed sweeping a substantial portion of the city’s streets, according to Public Works and Utilities Manager Randy Fehr.

In his report to council May 11, Fehr said the weather has been very forgiving this spring, allowing not only street-sweeping, but other tasks. Drainage of effluent from the municipal lagoon is now complete, giving sufficient storage at the for the summer months.

The city’s new addition to its public works shop is now complete.

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence presents a 15-year ring from the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators to Warman City Manager Stan Westby an increase in the number of sightings of coyotes in the city limits.

In a written report to council, Eberle said there continue to be complaints at the dog park, as well as other parks in the municipality, about animal owners not picking up after their pets.

Enforcement of the outdoor anti-smoking bylaw in parks and public places is also ongoing.

first responders busy

The month of April was another busy one for Warman Fire Rescue.

Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin told council that the department has responded to 108 calls so far in 2015. That averages roughly a call per day, and is consistent with the projections used for the department’s operating budget.

The $80,000 annual contribution by the RM of Corman Park is helping the department meet its financing requirements for its 5-year capital plan.

Overpass options outlined for Martensville, Warman

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Members of the public got their first glimpse of several potential options for highway overpasses at Martensville and Warman earlier this week.

The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure hosted back-to-back open houses in Martensville on Monday, May 11 and in Warman on Tuesday, May 12. Both open houses contained identical information.

The highways ministry is proposing two alternatives for the Martensville overpass designed to link Highway 12 with Main Street. In the case of Warman, four potential overpass options are suggested: three linking Highway 11 with Central Street and one linking Highway 11 with the new Highway 305.

Steve Shaheen with the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure said all the proposals are preliminary.

“We’re looking at different design options and getting feedback from the community to see what our next steps are,” said Shaheen. “It was announced in the provincial budget that these are two projects that the government wants to see completed in the very near future. They’re important projects because of the growth in this area.”

Shaheen said the two options for Martensville are the result of considerable study. Both have advantages and disadvantages, he said.

“Obviously there are a number of different factors that come into play,” he said. “There are space constraints, there is an airfield on the west side of the highway in close proximity to where this will be built, and there is the need to consider traffic volumes and potential disruption during the construction period.”

Option One consists of a northbound exit “split

ramp” that has the benefit of dispersing traffic along Centennial Drive and reducing congestion at the intersection of Main Street and Centennial Drive. On the other hand, said Shaheen, it has a ramp that may be confusing to some drivers, requires a tight turn, and also may have a side effect of encouraging drivers to take short-cuts down residential streets.

Option Two reduces the potential for short-cutting by drivers because it has shorter exit ramps, but on the downside it would increase traffic on Centennial Drive and would require more local road improvements.

Warman options

There are four options identified for the Warman overpass. Shaheen said there are additional complications with Warman because of the presence of the railway, the existing railway overpass, and major underground utility lines that would have to be relocated. There is also the potential for disruption of existing residences depending on which option is chosen.

Option One basically modifies the existing intersection.

“This option maintains direct access to the City of Warman by maximizing the existing infrastructure already in place and minimizing the right of way requirements,” said Shaheen. “Some of the things we identified as potential issues with this option are the steep grade approaching the railway crossing, the impact on utility lines, and increased traffic congestion on Central Street.”

Option Two involves shifting the location of the overpass and the highway to improve the angle, making it closer to 90 degrees and improving sightlines.

Option Three shifts the highway itself further to the east and realigns the

ed to “right in, right out” only access to the highway.

Shaheen said it all depends on public feedback.

“All the options are currently on the table, and we’re looking for suggestions,” said Shaheen.

The fourth option would locate the overpass at the new Highway 305 intersection. The current Highway 11 and Central Street entrance would remain as it is for the time being, but may eventually be convert-

A second open house is slated for late June to finetune the design. That will be followed by a request for proposals. Shaheen said the hope is that construction could start as early as this fall on both projects.

Remeshylo chosen to attend national Girl Guide camp

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Amy Remeshylo of Warman is heading off to Whitehorse, Yukon this summer for the adventure of a lifetime.

Remeshylo is one of five Pathfinders, the highestage group of Girl Guides, from Saskatchewan chosen to participate in Camp 101 Yukon from July 4 to 12. The international Girl Guide camp will see approximately 100 youth aged 12-18 participate in a range of outdoor activities including camping, whitewater rafting, hiking and canoeing. They’ll also learn about the history and culture of the northern territory famous for the Klondike Gold Rush at the turn of the 20th century.

The camp will have 30 Girl Guides from Yukon, and 70 Girl Guides from the rest of Canada and the state of Alaska. About 30 adults will be at the camp as leaders and supervisory staff, as well as 5-10 camp program coordinators.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Amy,” said long-time Girl Guide leader Debbie Remeshylo, Amy’s mother. “She’s very excited. We found out in January that she’ll be going.”

Amy, a Pathfinder with the Warman Girl Guide troop, has spent seven years in the organization, first as a Brownie and then as a Guide. She applied for the camp and was accepted based on her skills, experience and knowledge, as well as her community involvement.

The five girls from Saskatchewan attend a minicamp at Lake Diefenbaker at the end of May in preparation for their trip to Whitehorse.

“They have to pack all their gear strategically,” said Debbie. “They get on the plane with just exactly what they need for weight,

CITY OF MARTENSVILLE

Council approves purchase of new water tender for fire dept.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The City of Martensville has approved the purchase of a custom-designed and built water tender vehicle for the city’s fire department.

At their regular meeting on Tuesday, May 5, Martensville Council voted to accept a bid from Acres Industries Inc. of Manitoba. The price of the vehicle is $329,482.

Acres Industries was one of three companies to bid on the project. While another company, Asphodel Fire Trucks Ltd,, submitted a lower bid, its design and specifications were deemed by the Martensville Fire Chief Kurt Dyck to be inadequate.

In his written report to council, Dyck said the fire department has a “positive history and good working relationship with Acres.

Our last apparatus was purchased from Acres and they have gone above and beyond their warranty promises with every issue. Another positive is that Acres Industries Inc. has a dealer in Langham (Trans Care).

Martensville City Council had originally budgeted $320,000 for the vehicle. The additional $9,482 required for the purchase will be included as part of the city’s 2016 budget. The vehicle is slated for delivery in 2016.

BUSINESS LICENSE BYLAW

Martensville council amended its business licensing bylaw at its May 5 meeting to provide increased flexibility for taxicab companies operating within its municipal boundaries.

Previously, cab companies applying for business licenses in Martensville had to be either a home-based business or have a storefront location in Martensville. The amended bylaw will allow a cab company based outside Martensville to obtain a business license within the city.

Martensville Economic Development Officer Dillon Shewchuk told council the amendment is designed to accommodate any current and future applications for business licenses in Martensville. He noted that all applications for taxicab licenses will continue to come before council for a decision on whether the license is granted.

ART FOR THE PARK?

Martensville City Council is mulling over an offer from Saskatchewan sculptor Floyd Wanner to donate two concrete sculptures to the city for placement in a public park.

The sculptures, entitled “Dream Maker” and “Sustaining Waters”, were originally commissioned several years ago and were slated to be located along the South Saskatchewan River. However, they were never installed

and have been stored at an old concrete plant on 8th Street in Saskatoon.

If Martensville City Council agrees to take the donations, the cost of transporting and relocating the sculptures would have to be

paid by Martensville ratepayers. The estimated cost of relocating the “Dream Maker” piece is about $10,000 and the “Sustaining Waters” sculpture would cost up to $20,000 to relocate.

The sculptures must be moved in the next few weeks because the property they are on has been sold. Martensville City Council deferred the issue to its next meeting on Tuesday, May 19.

Hitmen select Vipers goaltender in fourth round of WHL Bantam Draft

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Osler goaltender Jake Davidson has reached a milestone in his hockey career after he was selected by the Calgary Hitmen in the fourth round of the Western Hockey League (WHL) Bantam draft, May 7.

Davidson, while sharing goaltending duties with Carter Woodside, helped the Sask Valley Vipers to a 22W7L record and a North Division title in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League’s (SBAAHL) post season in 2014-15.

Davidson’s statistics in those wins include 10W-4L

and a goals against average of 2.22. Shaun Priel, head coach of the Vipers, said he is happy Davidson was rewarded for all of his hard work over his two years with the club. Priel also credits Davidson as one of the reasons why the Vipers were so successful this year.

“On any successful team when you have strong goaltending it makes up for defensive liability and maybe some ability for players to score in the front end,” said Priel. “Jake stood on his head for us, made some big saves and gave us the opportunity to win.”

Priel considered the Osler

goaltender to be one of the best in the SBAAHL. That sentiment was also felt by 12 of the WHL’s 15 teams who had conversations with the young goaltender prior to the May 7 draft.

“I thought I was going to go to Spokane. They seemed really interested in me at the SaskFirst tournament so I kind of anticipated going there, and Calgary picked me out of the blue so it was surprising,” said Davidson.

Davidson said he is more than happy to be selected by the Hitmen.

Gilles Bouvier, owner of Elite Goaltending in Saskatoon has worked with Davidson since he was 9 years old. He said Davidson really doesn’t have a weakness and has all the tools a WHL team would want.

“Jake has a little bit of everything. He is technically very sound, has great athleticism and has the best feet I have seen on a kid in years, which gives him extreme speed,” said Bouvier. “I guess I would describe him as a cross between Carey Price and Jonathan Quick to put it in goalie terms.”

Bouvier added that Da-

vidson is also well spoken, humble and a hard-working young man that is very coach-able. Priel said if he was a skater he would be his captain, which is in no disrespect to Matthew Conlon who was the Viper’s captain this season.

“He reminds me of Joel Grybowski (Vipers 2014 WHL-drafted goalie last season). I talk about them a lot because they are just fantastic kids,” said Priel. “It’s exciting for kids with great character to go on and have the chance to play at a higher level.”

Davidson was selected 77 overall in the fourth round and the fifth goaltender picked by the Hitmen early in the draft.

Dan Bonar, Director of Player Personnel with the Calgary Hitmen, said he first noticed Davidson play in a SaskFirst tournament when he was 13.

One of the stand-out qualities Bonar noticed about Davidson was that he played with a lot of maturity, both technically and emotionally.

“He has been a great goalie in bantam and probably one of the better goalies in

JAMES TARRANT | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

the league,” said Bonar. “We liked his game and his competitiveness and thought we should give him the opportunity to be a Hitmen.”

Davidson may have an understanding of what it takes to make it as a goalie in the WHL. For the past couple of seasons Davidson has trained with current Hitmen goaltender Matt Shields, who is also a student of Bouvier’s. Looking back on his two years with the Vipers, Davidson said he has no complaints. He said

The Calgary Hitmen selected the talented netminder in the fourth round of the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft, May 7

working with Priel allowed him to feel comfortable between the pipes and allowed him to play his game.

“He was really good to me, put lots of faith in me and let me grow. There are some coaches that pull you after two goals,” said Davidson.

“I don’t think I was pulled ever as a Viper so it gave me a lot of confidence.”

Davidson will be playing with the Saskatchewan AAA Midget Hockey League’s Prince Albert Mintos next season.

Worth possibly putting curling career on hold

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Delisle juvenile curler Payton Worth had to make a tough decision about a sport she lives for. And that choice was to continue with curling or pursue post secondary studies.

Worth has recently applied to the University of Regina with the hopes of eventually getting into the Education program.

This time of year Worth would have been preparing her curling summer training schedule.

If she does decide to take some time off, her last year as a juvenile curler proved to be a rewarding experience, said Worth.

In January Worth and her Anderson juvenile curling team won the provincial U17 crown in Nipawin.

Worth said at the start of the curling season, her team had two goals: to represent Saskatchewan at the Canada Winter Games in Prince Rupert, B.C. and at the Optimist U18 International Curling Championship in Edmonton.

“We came close to representing Saskatchewan at the Canada Winter games and we continued to work hard

at the Juvenile Provincials,” said Worth. “This year was special to me because 50 years ago my grandpa, Harold Worth, represented Saskatchewan at the Brier. It was a privilege for me to become a part of his legacy now in my curling career.”

Natal Laycock, who coaches the Anderson team, said the Canada Games trials had two evenly-matched teams where the end result could have gone either way.

“We went undefeated in the round robin and the Jones team had to beat us twice in the playoffs. They won one game on a tremendous shot and the other on a bad miss by us,” said Laycock.

Laycock said the girls were disappointed by the loss, but she was proud of their effort. The fortunate thing was the same teams that competed in the Canada Games Trials also competed in the Juvenile U17 Women’s Provincial Championship, which allowed them to be really prepared.

Their win at juveniles allowed them to compete in the Optimist U18 International Curling Championship from March 30-April 3.

Worth said it provided

many interesting experiences she will never forget.

“I had an amazing experience on and off the ice because the event wasn’t all about curling, it was about learning and meeting new people,” said Worth. “We were lucky to play in the developmental camp which is run by notable Canadian curling stars Kevin Martin, Marc Kennedy and Dana Ferguson.”

At the Optimist Championship the Anderson team finished third against teams from Ontario, U.S. and Japan. The team played seven games, five which were round robin but didn’t advance to the medal round, said Laycock.

On April 25 the Anderson team was honoured with opening up the CurlSask Legends of Curling Ceremony. Each year all provincial winning curling teams are invited to attend the Parade of Champions which starts off the evening. Worth said she felt honoured to be recognized with other provincial winners and be part of a ceremony that inducted a fellow Delisle championship curler, Sherry Anderson.

“I am proud to know [Anderson] because it shows

CVAC shut out of provincial medals, but badminton growing in popularity

By GRANT ELKE Central Valley Athletic Conference Extra-Curricular Commissioner Regina’s Thom Collegiate saw two of its student athletes crowned as provincial champions last weekend.

Taylor Whitehead won the Boys singles crown while Andrea Wilyman won the Girls singles championship.

Tristyn Stevenson and Brayden Heffernan of Melfort won the boys doubles event, while Kelly To and Taylor Wang of Saskatoon’s Walter Murray Collegiate won the girls doubles title. The mixed doubles gold medal went to Dana Palmer and Nicholas Enns of Carrot River.

CVAC RESULTS

At the provincial championships, playing in two pools of four, the three

teams representing CVAC were in for a battle if they hoped to medal.

In boys’ singles, Laskowski from VCA was unable to advance to the playoff round, losing his pool matches to Saskatoon, Wadena, and Regina.

In boys’ doubles, Longfellow and Reddekopp from VCA also did not advance, losing the tie breaker after going 1-2 in their matches, defeating Annaheim,but losing their matches to Melfort and Regina.

Finally, in mixed doubles, Kohl and Hamm from Hepburn advanced to the playoff round after going 2-1 in their pool, losing their first match to Carrot River, but defeating Wawota and Biggar. In their semi final, they were defeated by Saskatoon, pitting them

against Loon Lake for third place. Unfortunately, they were unable to capture the bronze medallion, losing 2-1.

As this season ends, we look forward to a strong performance from next year’s student athletes within CVAC. With the strong showing by our non-senior players and our junior champions, and the growing number of recreational students taking up the game, it looks bright for CVAC going forward.

The CVAC conference track meets are slated for Grifffith Stadium May 20 and 21 with the district meet on May 29. The 3000m races go the day before each meet in Dalmeny at their track.

Junior Soccer wraps up the year on June 10 with the boys playing at VCA and the girls playing at Langham.

how hard work and determination will help you achieve your goals.”

Laycock said consistency was an area of Worth’s game that improved throughout the year.

“We tinkered with her delivery a little bit. Like anything change is kind of scary. But once we tried changing a few things and had success she was quite receptive,” said Laycock.

Worth said with post secondary education being her primary focus next year she still hopes to be involved in the sport she loves.

Boston band tunes kids in to bluegrass music

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Lonely Heartstring Band members (left to right) Matt Witley, Charles Clements, George Clements and Gabe Hirshfeld, along with fiddler Patrick M’Gonigal, are currently playing a series of concerts in Saskatchewan in advance of their appearance at the Northern Lights Bluegrass Festival in August

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Students at Valley Manor School in Martensville and Clavet Composite School got a taste of high-energy acoustic music earlier this week.

The Lonely Heartstring Band kicked off a week-long tour of Saskatchewan with two concerts in Martensville on Monday, May 11. The quintet consists of 30-yearold twin brothers George Clements (guitar) Charles Clements (upright bass), 23-year-old Matt Witler (mandolin), 25-year-old Gabe Hirshfeld (banjo) and 28-year-old Patrick M’Gonigal (fiddle).

The band takes its name from the classic Beatles song, and the musicians share a common passion for Beatles music.

Actually, it’s more of a passion for all kinds of music: everything from Flatt and Scruggs to Frank Sinatra, Radiohead, Tom Petty, classical, jazz, and old-time country.

These days, the emphasis is on bluegrass mountain music. The band blends a contemporary vocal style with classic instrumentals in a way that bridges the generations.

With music degrees under their belts from New England colleges, these guys are more than qualified to teach workshops at the Northern Lights Bluegrass and Old-Time music camp August 10-14 at the Ness Creek site near Big River. The Bluegrass festival runs August 14-16.

The band’s current tour was organized by the Northern Lights Festival board, and is aimed at drumming up interest among young musicians in attending the camp.

From the reaction of the young crowd at Valley Manor School last Monday, it looks like the camp may have a wave of applications from wannabe banjo-pickers.

The band was formed two years ago at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

“George and I met in the womb,” commented Charles Clements. “But we met the rest of the guys at Berklee College. I actually studied classical music as well at the New England Conservatory of Music, and so did our fiddle player, Patrick M’Gonigal. So we have a lot of different genres of music that we’re interested in.”

The group mixes traditional bluegrass with modern songwriting styles, and has one EP album to their credit so far.

Witler said bluegrass music is currently enjoying a revival of sorts among the younger generation, particularly in Boston.

“There’s been a really great surge in the bluegrass scene there and I think that is due to the fact that Berklee College of Music was one of the first schools to start offering degree programs to mandolin and banjo students for performance programs at a serious level. That drew a lot of young people in, and we’ve seen some really good, young, progressive roots-style bands like Deadly Gentlemen and Crooked Still emerge from there.”

Witler said this is the band’s first time in Saskatchewan, and they’re pumped about the tour and the upcoming bluegrass festival gig.

“It’s fun playing for the kids,” said Witler.

“I feel like Canadian kids are a little more tuned in to acoustic roots music; at least they’re more willing to sit and listen and have a little patience for it. I’m from Los Angeles originally, and growing up there and playing bluegrass music was considered very not cool.”

The band’s website is www.lonelyheartstringband.bandcamp.com .

Clavet woodcarver earns top marks at international event

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Reuben Unger’s little Brown Creeper was so lifelike, the judges at the 45th annual Ward World Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival event in Ocean City, Maryland last month were hard pressed to find any flaws.

In the end, the bird’s camouflage, which blended in so perfectly with the carved branch it was clinging to, was its undoing. Even though in the natural world the bird is almost invisible; a fact that Unger worked hard to replicate; the art world has slightly different standards.

“The judges said it needed more contrast in order for people to ac-

tually be able to see the bird,” said Unger in an interview on Thursday, May 7. “They said I could have changed the bark on the tree so the bird was more visible.”

In the end, the little songbird was named Third Best of Show in its class at the world-famous event, held April 24-26. Out of hundreds of other bird carvings submitted by artists from across the United States, Canada and overseas, the only two pieces that rated higher in its category were those entered by a carver from Louisiana and another from Texas.

Unger, who lives in Clavet, was in his 40s when he began carving birds in 1998. He was introduced to the art form by Leroy Royer of

Saskatoon, a retired biologist, and has taken numerous classes since then to hone his skills. This was his first entry in the prestigious world carving competition, and he had a lot riding on the little Brown Creeper, a species that closely resembles nuthatches.

“I really didn’t know if it was up to the standards they normally get at the competition,” said Unger.

“But I got encouragement from some very good CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

WILDLIFE CARVER EARNS AWARD

Reuben Unger, a wildfowl sculptor from Clavet, won 3rd Best of Show at the 45th annual Ward World Wildfowl Carving Competition in Ocean City, Md. April 24-26. This was Unger’s first time competing at this large international event, which attracts competitors from all over the world.

He entered into the intermediate division of the show with a finely detailed Brown Creeper that he had sculpted from wood. Unger’s piece won first in the songbird category, first in division amongst songbirds, raptors, shorebirds and miniature sculptures, and then went on to be judged 3rd Best of Show by a panel of international judges.

Court this afternoon.

Staff Sgt. Darcy Shukin is a 23-year member of the SPS. He will remain in his current administrative role pending the outcome of court proceedings. The incident will also be subject to an internal investigation pursuant to the Saskatchewan Police Act, 1990.

Province enhances protection for victims of violence and abuse The Victims of Interpersonal Violence Act will soon update protections and expand the ability of police to help victims of violence and abuse.

“A lot has changed since Saskatchewan was the first province to introduce such legislation,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “This update was necessary to ensure police and the justice system continue to have the tools needed to protect those living with interpersonal violence.”

In 1994, Saskatchewan was the first province in Canada to introduce Victims of Domestic Violence legislation. The Victims of Interpersonal Violence Act replaces The Victims of Domestic Violence Act. Changes found in The Victims of Interpersonal Violence Act include: Extending non-contact provisions to prohibit contact at the victim’s schools and workplaces in the case of an emergency intervention order; Adding harassment and deprivation of

Corman Park passes motion for train whistle study along CN rail line

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca One of the attractive features of owning a home in the RM of Corman Park is the tranquil quality of life.

The unfortunate thing for residents who live in the southwest corner of the RM is their peaceful surroundings have been disrupted by train whistles.

As many as 30 trains a day frequent CN Railroad crossings extending from Range Roads 3041 to 3050, said resident Lorraine Bryan.

In most cases the earsplitting noise has not only rattled windows during daylight hours, but also wakened homeowners at night.

The annoyance has

prompted Bryan and about 15 residents who live along the CN route to ask the RM to implement an anti-whistling bylaw.

When the issue was first brought to council it was estimated that the cost of such a bylaw was not economically feasible. Transport Canada guidelines would have required the RM to spend a considerable amount of money. The cost of undertaking a safety assessment study on six of the crossings would range from $12,000 to $18,000, which doesn’t take into account the cost of safety upgrades. The timeline for the assessment could also take anywhere from six months to one year depending on crossings currently

under review and whether additional safety measures were required.

At a November 17, 2014 Council Meeting Division 7 Councilor Joanne Janzen proposed a resolution that a report on train whistle cessation for the rail line between Range Roads 3041 and 3050 be received and that the proposal be communicated to area residents for it to be completed at their cost. She also suggested the results of the safety assessment study be brought back to council, including a study cost per rail crossing.

During a presentation by a delegation led by Bryan at a May 4 RM of Corman Park Council meeting, Bryan said she felt ratepayers should

not be paying for the cost of the study because one of the RM’s responsibilities should be improving the quality of life for its residents.

“In other municipalities, sound walls or earthen barriers are constructed for noise mitigation or reduction,” said Bryan. “It is not considered a luxury for those who choose to live beside a main street or in our case a main rail line. No matter where you live in a rural municipality or what division you represent, your responsibility is to all residents.”

According to the Transport Canada website, train whistling is used as an important way to keep drivers, cyclists and pedestrians safe

CLEAN SWEEP OF MARTENSVILLE STREETS

Martensville Public Works crews have been busy cleaning the streets of a winter’s worth of dust and gravel

Safe Boating Awareness Week kicks off North American Safe Boating Awareness Week will take place across Canada from May 16th to May 22nd, 2015. The purpose of this initiative, managed by the CSBC (Canadian Safe Boating Council) and its partners, is to promote safe and responsible boating practices to the 14 million Canadians who participate in recreational boating.

Although boating related fatalities have trended downwards in past years, there continues to be an average of over 100 boating related deaths annually in Canadian waters. With people gearing-up to launch their boats after a long winter slumber, the goal of the week is to continue to bring those numbers down by en-

suring that Canadians who head out in any type of boat have the appropriate knowledge to help them have a safe day on the water.

The timing of the week, starting on the May long weekend, is perfectly aligned with the unofficial start of summer and a time when many boating fatalities occur.

There are five key boating safety messages to be delivered, all directed towards the most common boating related accidents.

They include: The importance of wearing a lifejacket; the dangers associated with drinking and boating; the importance of taking a safe boating course; ensuring that you and your vessel are prepared before cast-

ing off; the risks associated with a fall into cold water.

As a part of North American Safe Boating Awareness Week this year, the fourth annual Ready, Set, Wear It (RSWI) initiative will take place.

Aimed at increasing awareness around the importance of lifejackets and boating safety, RSWI aims to set a new world’s record for the most lifejackets worn and the highest number of inflatable lifejackets inflated.

The Safe Boating Awareness Week initiative is promoted by the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC), a registered charity, with support from its members, partners and Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety.

when using railway-roadway grade crossings, but some municipalities can end train whistling if the noise becomes a problem.

The steps a municipality would have to take include: contacting the railway company; notifying the general public and all relevant organizations of its plan to pass a council resolution supporting the cessation of train whistling in the area; discussing the issue with the road authority/owner; conduct a detailed safety assessment of the crossing with the railway company and road authority.

When all of these steps are complete the RM can put a train whistling cessation bylaw in place.

Train whistling is just one warning system railway companies use in accordance with Transport Canada guidelines.

Other warning systems include flashing lights, a bell and gates installed at each crossing.

In documents Bryan brought to council on May 8 she said tracks were twinned along the CN route in her area in 2013-14 with the safety configuration of lights, bell and gates at each crossing.

The concern is that the safety configuration may not be enough warning without a train whistle being sounded at crossings.

One resident with the delegation said the lights, gates and reflection markings on the CN cars themselves can be seen three miles away at night, making them an effective warning system.

Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood Reeve said the RM has to be careful of the precedent it will set if ratepayers from other communities come forward with train cessation requests in other areas of the RM that have double tracks.

There is also the question of liability. Division 8 Councilor Wendy Trask asked what liability the RM would face if a ratepayer was hit by a train after the bylaw was passed.

Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore, said if all the Transport Canada requirments have been followed, the RM should not have anything to worry about.

Division 1 Councilor John Germs suggested the RM provide up to $5,000 in funding to focus on a single crossing. Based on the results of the resulting study, funding could also be provided to assess the other five crossings.

Bryan thought it would be dismissive to select one crossing over another, while Trask thought the idea could lead to conflict between ratepayers whose crossing was not covered by the funding.

Division 6 Councilor Bas Frose-Kooijenga and Division 2 Councilor Michelle Chuhaniuk thought it would be more cost-effective to fund six crossings at once.

After much debate on the issue council eventually decided to pass a motion to fund a safety assessment study on all six crossings for the estimated cost of $18,000.

Volunteers pound the streets in Warman to raise funds for Diabetes

Research making a difference for people with Cystic Fibrosis

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Research into new treatments for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is yielding amazing results that greatly improve the quality of life for people with CF, according to Barb Ginther of Hepburn.

Ginther, who has lived with CF all her life, says there is very good news on the horizon. A new drug has been developed in the United States that has the potential to alleviate the symptoms for a majority of CF sufferers. Ginther said the drug has been thoroughly tested in the US, and is currently awaiting approval from the Canadian government.

CF is a hereditary disease that mainly affects the lungs and digestive system.

It is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting children and young adults across Canada. In the early 1960s, children born with CF were unlikely to survive past the age of five, but life expectancy of CF sufferers has improved over the years thanks to greater understanding of the disease and improved treatments.

Ginther, 53, is organizing a “Great Strides Walk” in Hepburn on Sunday, May 31, as part of a nation-wide effort to raise funds for continued CF research. A Great Strides Walk is also slated for May 31 in Saskatoon, in connection with a fundraising raffle featuring a WestJet flight.

This year is the second

TREATMENT ADVANCES

Ginther said a major step forward in CF treatment was made in 2012 when a new drug called Kalydeco was given to a small group of CF sufferers with a certain genetic code. The results of the treatment were dramatic.

“I had a friend with CF who at that time had very low lung function, and he felt like he always had one foot in the grave,” said Ginther in an interview on Thursday, May 7. “He was among those who were able to be treated with Kalydeco, and in a very short time his lung function improved from about 30 per cent to 50 per cent. So he went from being on the lung transplant list to being able to actually go back to work. It was pretty amazing.”

The new version of Kalydeco currently in the process of being approved for Canada is aimed at the majority of people suffering from CF, said Ginther.

“I’m really looking forward to it being available, and also having it covered

The event is aimed at raising funds for research into Cystic Fibrosis (CF) treatments. under Medicare, because my brother, who also suffers from CF, and I both share the genetic code that this drug has been proven effective on,” she said. “It’s not a cure, but it is a treatment that will definitely improve the quality of life for the majority of CF sufferers.”

Ginther said last year was a difficult one for her, as her lung function declined to about 35 per cent last summer.

“The doctors weren’t sure why my lung function kept declining,” she said. “I went

Saskatoon housing starts decline in March Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 2,801 units in April compared to 3,063 in March, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)(1) of total housing starts.

“The trend in total housing starts declined further in April after local home builders scaled back production of both single-detached and multi-family units. Rising new home inventory and moderating economic funda-

Province has lowest unemployment rate in Canada The unemployment rate in Saskatchewan was once again the lowest among the provinces in April 2015, at 4.3 per cent (seasonally adjusted), while nationally the rate stood at 6.8 per cent, according to Statistics Canada. Saskatchewan has had the lowest unemployment rate in the country for 19 straight months. On a yearover-year basis, there were 7,700 (1.4 per cent) more people working in the province in April. There were 569,500 people employed in April 2015, a record for the month.

Each spring, community volunteers from across Saskatchewan step forward to help raise funds and awareness for a growing Canadian health crisis.

Volunteers began going door-to-door in Warman on May 1 to collect funds for the Canadian Diabetes Association. The door-to-door campaign in Warman ends May 15.

Diabetes is at epidemic proportions, with an estimated 3.3 million Canadians diagnosed, which includes more than 93,000 people from Saskatchewan.

Support for the (CDA doorto-door campaign can make a difference in the lives of those living with or at risk of developing diabetes.

“The residential campaign has long been an important part of fundraising for the Canadian Diabetes Association,” says Janice Daniels, community engagement coordinator for the North Saskatchewan branch of the CDA. “The people of Saskatchewan make an impressive effort when it comes to fundraising. It is always inspiring to see them come out to support those living with or affected by this disease.”

In Northern Saskatchewan, approximately 1,000 volunteers will hit the streets for this year’s campaign, which runs from May 1 to 15. Volunteer canvassers will be clearly identified

The walk gets underway at 4 p.m. on May 31 at the Centre on Main Street. Participants are asked to bring their pledge forms and donations the day of the walk. Pledge forms, raffle tickets and donations can be made by contacting Barb Ginther at 306281-6450.

mentals will prompt a slower pace of housing starts this year,” said Goodson Mwale, CMHC’s Senior Market Analyst for Saskatchewan.

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

they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR was 1,261 units in April, down from 2,529 in March. While both the single-detached and multi-family sectors recorded yearover-year declines in April, the reduction was most pronounced among multiples where only 19 units were started compared to 365 in April 2014.

on antibiotics just in order to stay at that level.

But then around November things got better and I went up to about 57 per cent lung capacity, which is great.”

Ginther said life expectancy for people with CF is generally about 50, so she treats every day as a bonus.

“I owe a lot to the advances in treatment for CF over the years,” she said. “I want to help keep that going.”

Continued from page 3

Tribunal rules First Nations owed millions of dollars Aquatic invasive species

in the wake of the Northwest Rebellion, also known as the Northwest Resistance, of 1885. The payments were withheld over a period of four years and were resumed in 1889.

At the time, the payments amounted to about $4,000.

The amount is now valued at about $4.5 million.

The Specific Claims Tribunal released its decision on Thursday, May 7, following nearly two decades of legal wrangles between the federal government and the First Nations. A series of hearings were held to weigh evidence on the specific claim made by the Beardy’s and Okemasis First Nation. The hearings wrapped up in May, 2014.

The federal government has 30 days to respond to the decision. Its options include negotiating with the First Nations bands over terms of payment, or appealing the tribunal’s ruling in court.

In the 102-page legal decision, the tribunal stated: “The evidence does not support the theory that this community of Cree people or their leaders were disloyal or acted wilfully in contravention of treaty. The evidence, considered as a whole, supports the Claimant’s characterization of the motives at play: the government seized on the Rebellion to justify measures designed to bring the Cree under its control. The Crown had no legal authority to withhold treaty payments, and there was, in the circumstances, no honourable ground on which the Crown could exercise such a power even if it did exist.”

decision praised

The ruling by the tribunal is “a very good decision,” according to Angus

Esperance, an elder with the Beardy’s and Okemasis band who was instrumental in launching the action in the late 1990s.

“These claims are based on treaty rights,” said Esperance in an interview on Friday, May 8. “It’s been a long struggle. We started out in 1996 to redress this grievance, and it’s now been 19 years. But we’re very happy with the way it’s turned out.”

The right of annuity payment was included in the terms of Treaty 6, which was signed in 1876.

Esperance said the ruling will benefit “the grassroots people.”

Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) Vice-Chief Bobby Cameron echoed the view that the ruling was positive for First Nations in Saskatchewan.

“For the FSIN, our focus and our priority has always been the protection and implementation of our inherent treaty rights,” said Cameron. “This decision by the tribunal acknowledges that the payments that were withheld 130 years ago were, in fact, a treaty right.

“It’s been a long time coming, but it’s obviously a big victory, and it shows that the federal government was wrong to withhold the payments at that time. It’s now time to set things right.”

While the ruling dealt specifically with the Beardy’s and Okemasis claim, 13 other First Nations bands were part of the action as intervenors. Their claims have yet to be heard.

STIGMA STILL FELT

Ron Maurice, the Calgarybased lawyer who handled the specific claim for Beardy’s and Okemasis, said the

original submission was prepared for four First Nations bands (Beardy’s and Okemasis, Poundmaker, Little Pine and Sweetgrass) in 1999, and the specific claim was filed in 2001.

“My clients felt that there was a legitimate grievance that needed to be addressed,” said Maurice in an interview on Friday, May 8.

“What is striking about this claim is that there is a stigma attached to it. There is a persistent myth that these First Nations were disloyal to the Crown; that they were rebels. That’s been kind of lingering for a hundred and thirty years, and from the standpoint of the relationship between the Crown and First Nations, it’s very unfortunate.”

monetary implications

Maurice said the specific claim was based on the monetary issue, because it was the easiest and most straightforward to quantify.

Maurice said the total amount in today’s dollars represents not just compounded interest over the last 130 years, but also includes a “punitive” dimension.

“The tribunal does not have the power to award punitive damages, but they can award equitable interest for a breach of fiduciary obligations,” said Maurice.

“Basically, there is a wellestablished principle in law that says a trustee should be held to a high standard, and this provides for restitution based on the idea that equity favours the person who was wronged.”

Maurice characterized it as a “landmark victory” because it potentially has very broad implications for First Nations claims across the

country.

“We are encouraging the federal government to do the honourable thing and sit down with the communities and work out the basis for a settlement,” he said. “Another reason why Canada ought to do the right thing and negotiate a settlement is there is a principle of law around administrative tribunals. The decisions by tribunals do not create binding precedents. They are binding only between the two parties in involved, but they don’t affect the rest of the world. By settling up at this stage of the game, the government of Canada does potentially avoid the bigger flood gates opening up where claims can be made by many First Nations on other issues.

“If the government appeals this to a federal court on the basis of an error of law or jurisdiction, and the court upholds the tribunal’s decision, then that sets a legally binding precedent that could apply across the board. That would swing the floodgates wide open and they would be stuck open.”

The Specific Claims Tribunal was established by the federal government in 2008 and is made up of six fulltime Federal judges appointed from Provincial Superior Courts across the country.

The term “specific claims” refers to monetary damage claims made by a First Nation against the Crown regarding the administration of land and other First Nation assets, and to the fulfilment of Indian treaties that have not been accepted for negotiation, or that have not been resolved through a negotiated settlement within a specified time frame.

Solutions to rail crossing dispute sought by RM

lieves the MHI should pay the estimated $10,000 to rebuild the CTR. Depending on whether a negotiation on the road and land can be worked out Corman Park and MHI both conducted dual evaluations on the land to weigh the options of selling it.

The RM put forward three options to allow Project O to move forward and allow Holstein (landowners) to have physical and legal access to their land. The first option is to have a private crossing set up where the RM would lease the highways lands and right of way either to Project 0/Holsteins and set up a private crossing to go through there.

Option 2 would involve in-

stalling a private crossing with a sale of the road allowance and the highways right of way to Olser/Holstein.

Option 3 would involve steps to make the rail line a public crossing.

The chance of a lease agreement of this type possibly being broken is a concern for Judy Harwood, Reeve of Corman Park.

At the April 20 Council Meeting, Tittemore said if a lease agreement fell through the RM would be fielding all the maintenance and associated costs for the rail line.

But if the RM chooses to sell the land then the RM’s liability worries go away.

Harwood said she doesn’t

like the idea of this issue solely resting on the RM’s shoulders.

“It looks like this is the RM of Corman Park’s responsibility and I don’t think that is the case,” said Harwood. “I don’t want to see us going down a path where we have a liability.”

During the April 20 council discussion on the issue Division 7 Council Joanne Janzen made a motion to approach the MHI Minister Nancy Heppner to discuss the issue.

Len Canton, owner of Canton Consulting who represents Project O developers was present at the April 20 Council Meeting and agreed with Janzen. He also mentioned the Town of Osler re-

cently sent a letter to Minister Heppner in the hopes of resolving the issue.

Canton is hoping a meeting with all parties present at the table will help development get underway.

“We have come to an agreement with MHI on the value to purchase that parcel. The only remaining factor is for the town to obtain authorization from the MHI,”said Canton Harwood said it is a fustrating process having developers wait a long time to move forward. She also said the RM will do whatever it can to expedite the process for all parties involved.

Council decided to move forward with Janzen’s recommendation.

to view all those works,” he said. “I had a chance to talk to a lot of other carvers from different parts of the world and learned a lot.”

Unger said he’s encouraged by his award and is looking to return to the competition at a higher level.

“I’m definitely going back,” he said. “It’s a big commitment, so I won’t be going every year, that’s for sure, but hopefully I’ll have

a piece that I’m satisfied with and that I can enter in a higher category.”

Unger is a passionate birdwatcher; a hobby he says is essential for accurate birdcarving.

“The carvings have to be lifelike and in order to do that you have to be able to realistically reflect how the bird moves,” said Unger.

His next public exhibit will be in September at Solar Gardens near Pike Lake.

Unger entered his piece in the “intermediate” class.

There are two other classes: “Advanced” and “Masters”, that are considered higher level at the Ward World Wildfowl Carving Championships. Only the elite

carvers qualify for the Masters category; Cam Merkle is one of those carvers to have earned that distinction. Merkle’s carvings can be seen at his gallery and shop, known as Razertip Industries in Martensville.

Unger said the quality and workmanship of the hundreds of carvings at the competition was simply extraordinary.

“It was a great experience

Invasive mussels have been discovered in Lake Winnipeg, so the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border will be a priority for the province, along with high-risk water bodies that host organized events, such as fishing tournaments and wakeboard competitions. Invasive mussels and other AIS can be impossible to eliminate if they become established in a water body, and have the potential to severely impact aquatic habitats, fisheries, valuable recreational resources and water-related infrastructure.

Buhler said the SSRWS is concerned about Lake Diefenbaker. That’s the body of water along the South Saskatchewan River valley that is most likely to see the first infestation, he said.

“With mussels, they’re more apt to get started in slowerflowing water, such as a lake,” said Buhler. “Fast-flowing parts of the rivers aren’t as likely to see the start of an infestation.

“Lake Diefenbaker is also a place where a lot of boats are launched.”

The Ministry of Environment supports several other initiatives that raise awareness about AIS and the importance of prevention through the CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY Your Boat awareness program.

Mussels can clog water intake structures and increase costs significantly for irrigation, power generation and municipal water supply. Buhler said many communities, including Osler, Warman and Martensville, rely on treated water supplied from Saskatoon. If mussels clog that city’s intake, the resulting cleanup and maintenance costs will be passed on to residents in the form of higher water bills.

The updated fisheries regulations also add Asian carp to a list of invasive species that already included zebra and quagga mussels.

Cedar Villa streets earmarked for upgrades this year as part of Corman Park road improvements The Hamlet of Cedar Villa can expect to have half its internal roads, including Juniper Crescent, chipsealed this summer.

The RM of Corman Park council approved the recommendation from the RM’s public works department at its May 4 regular meeting.

The Cedar Villa Hamlet Board previously approved the plan. The scope of the work will include zippering to a depth of approximately 6” and cover the full width of current roads.

The total cost will be $194,445. The estimated cost of seal coating of Juniper Crescent will be $22,000.

ROAD PLAN

The RM had made an application for clay capping to the Municipal Roads for the Economy Program (MREP) for 2015, but was denied funding.

The funding was to used to upgrade Township Road 384 between Highway 12 and Highway 16; Township Road 391 from Highway 672 for a distance of three miles; and Township Road 374 (Auction Mart Road) from Highway 684 for a distance of three

miles.

Because the MREP funding was denied, the RM Administration recommended that $375,000 from capital funds be transferred to operations contract road maintenance to complete work on Auction Mart Road, as well as Township Road 400 and Beam Road.

Public works used operations funding to complete work in 2014 to Township Road 391 to improve the haul road. Seasonal work has also started on Township Road 384 to address protruding rocks. Crews will also be shaping and gravelling the road with operational funding.

The $375,000 in funding will be used to mill and crush rocks, gravel and incorporate relay material and repack Auction Mart Road from Highway 684 west for two miles.

The remaining funds will be used to address the same problems on Township Road 400 east of Highway 11 and Beam Road west of Highway 16.

Within the 2015 budget the RM plans to complete a thin lift overlay on 71st Street

from Highway 16 west for 2.5 miles to Highway 684.

The thin lift overlay option was chosen as a preservation treatment for this road due to traffic volumes, types of traffic and current condition of the existing pavement.

Administration sourced three quotes from local contractors and awarded the contract to ASL Paving LTD for $331,731.

VEHICLE REPLACEMENT

The RM of Corman Park Council approved the purchase of a 2015 Freightliner M2106 from Trontline Truck and Trailer for $136,200.

On March 17, 2015 a Freightliner heavy vehicle caught on fire in the shop yard while the unit’s battery was being charged.

The fire was extinguished and the unit was towed inside the ship for assessment, where upon inspection it was found that the unit sustained burnt wires and air lines along the undercarriage and frame of the vehicle. AGI assessed the 1998 model Freightliner Heavy Vehicle and determined the total loss at $14,300.

Provincial parks gear up for summer Saskatchewan Provincial Parks will open for the season on Thursday, May 14, 2015.

Saskatchewan’s provincial parks continue to grow in popularity, and after a recordsetting campsite reservation launch, SaskParks is expecting another busy season.

“Saskatchewan’s provincial parks are places to relax, unwind and reconnect with family, friends and nature,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said.

“Our parks are very popular and we know that our campers are itching to get out and enjoy this beautiful spring weather.”

Saskatchewan Provincial Parks officially open for the season on the May long weekend. As in past years, an alcohol ban will once again be in place from Thursday, May 14 to Monday, May 18 inclusive. This alcohol ban affects all campgrounds and picnic areas within provincial parks and recreation sites. The ban is also in effect for several regional parks. Cottages and commer-

cial businesses in provincial parks are not affected by the ban.

Funding for capital projects and upgrades in provincial parks will total $14.6 million in 2015-16. This funding meets the government’s commitment to invest an additional $10 million on expense and growth opportunities in provincial parks over four years.

Capital investments including campground electrical expansion, service and visitor centre replacements, and water system upgrades will be undertaken this year.

Details on specific projects will be announced throughout the summer. Several projects that were started last year will be completed this spring and available for use by park visitors. These include a new potable water system at Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park and a new, 68-site, full-service campground at Greenwater Lake Provincial Park that will open later this summer.

Osler’s Dragan Caoin Taekwondo closes season on high note

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Osler’s Dragan Caoin Taekwondo Club closed off its 2014-15 season with six of its members competing in a Provincial Taekwondo Invitational Tournament on May 9.

The club had seven of its members compete in the tournament, which is a lower number than what owner Chris Mackintosh expected, but he said his students, which ranged from age six to 45, performed well.

Mackintosh said he noticed huge improvements in some of the participat-

ing students sparring techniques, which indicates they are getting better.

“Sparring is kind of hard to describe, but there are certain techniques of stepping to the side.

“In sparring when you are learning how to spar, people usually go forward and then back. You attack then you retreat,” said Mackintosh. “Good sparring goes in a circle, so in other words if someone attacks you step aside rather than back up.

“My students were starting to do that at the tournament.”

On the pattern part of the

competition Mackintosh said there were improvements there as well.

“A pattern can go from 20 to 120 specific moves and you are judged on how well you do those moves. So your kicks and punches have to be crisp.”

Mackintosh added that there are also different stances that have to be correct and go in the right direction and sequence.

‘There is quite a bit to it and you can just tell when someone is doing a better pattern, because everything is very sharp. And my students were looking very

The club‘s next competition is slated for Estevan in October .

Prairie Spirit sets 2015-16 calendar Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) has released its 2015-16 school year calendar.

In a recent letter to parents and guardians of students, PSSD Learning Superintendent David Wipf said the calendar was developed through feedback from staff members, parents and students.

Wipf said the number of instructional days (185) and the length of the school day (5 hours and 9 minutes) will remain the same as in the past year.

PSSD teachers will begin the school year on Monday, August 24, 2015, while students will begin classes on Tuesday, September 1, 2015, prior to Labour Day. The provincial government passed new legislation late last fall that allows an earlier school start date in excep-

tional years when Labour Day falls after September 5.

The last day of classes for students will be Tuesday, June 28, 2016.

Wipf said feedback from Prairie Spirit staff, parents and students strongly indicated a preference for a two-week Christmas break, a week-long break in February (including Family Day) and a 10-day break in April (including Easter).

Schools will continue to provide student-led conferencing in the fall and early spring.

Two dates for time-in-lieu of conferencing days will be determined at the local school level and communicated to you through your school’s newsletter.

“We believe the school calendar for 2015/16 reflects a positive schedule for students, staff and families,” said Wipf.
