Martensville Firefighter Bruce Romanow helps attend to an injured person in the wake of a two-car collision at the intersection of Highway 12 and Main Street in Martensville on Monday, June 1
Three injured in two-vehicle crash By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Three people sustained non-life-threatening injuries in a two-vehicle collision on Highway 12 on Monday, June 1. The collision occurred around 2:00 p.m. at the main entrance to Martensville. Martensville Fire Rescue, Warman RCMP and MD Ambulance responded to the collision. Warman RCMP Constable Joanne Russell said a Dodge
half-ton truck that was traveling westbound apparently attempted to cross the southbound lanes of the divided highway when it was struck by an oncoming Honda SUV. Both vehicles sustained serious damage. The force of the impact left the SUV pointing northward on the shoulder of the highway. The Dodge half-ton, meanwhile, ended up in the west ditch of the highway. Martensville first responders used the jaws of life to
extricate at least one person from the wreckage of one of the vehicles. The extent of the injuries of all three victims was unknown, but it was believed their injuries were not life-threatening, said Russell. All three were taken to hospital by MD Ambulance paramedics. The cause of the collision was investigated by the RCMP. Russell said it appeared the half-ton truck left the yield sign before it

A neighbourhood was evacuated and a portion of Crystal Springs Drive in Warman was sealed off by Warman Fire Rescue on Monday, June 1 in rsponse to a natural gas leak. A homeowner accidentally hit a gas line in the back yard around 2:00 p.m. Fortunately, SaskEnergy personnel were able to shut the gas off quickly and there were no fires or explosions. No one was injured in the incident, but there were some tense moments for firefighters and residents until the all-clear signal was given by SaskEnergy at about 2:35 p.m.

was safe to do so. She said the investigation was incomplete, so it was unknown if charges will be laid. The intersection has seen many collisions in the past,
and is considered one of the most dangerous in the province. The speed limit for that section of highway was reduced last year to 90 kilometers per hour. The inter-
section has been earmarked for an overpass interchange by the provincial government and design work on the project is slated to begin this summer.

HOMETOWN HONOURS HERO Dedication to fallen soldier highlights Dalmeny Spray and Play opening ceremony
By HILARY KLASSEN hilarylklassen@gmail.com Children could be seen romping through their new playground while the Dalmeny Spray and Play Park was being dedicated to Dalmeny’s fallen soldier, Corporal Shane Keating. Sunday’s grand opening celebrated the completion of phase one, and turned all eyes to one special military man who grew up just a few steps away from the park. Crystal Benoit chairs the volunteer committee that made it all happen. How did she feel about the whole thing? “So proud! Proud is the first word that comes to mind. So honoured to have Shane’s family embrace the fact that we wanted to create this memorial, proud of my committee that worked so hard from the beginning to event fund-raise, to build a playground and then the amount of work that went in to pull off this day.” It was a proud moment for the entire community, with several hundred people in attendance. The ceremonies featured numerous special guests including Keating’s family members and military comrades. With each speaker, a picture of Corporal Shane Keating gradually began to
emerge, each account building on and supporting the others. Keating grew up in Dalmeny, attended Prairie View Elementary (right beside the park) and Dalmeny High School. On September 18 of 2006, Shane was killed by a suicide bomber while passing out treats to school kids in a district of Afghanistan. “He was 30 years old when he gave his life for his country, while giving to the children of Afghanistan. His family and the people who knew him are proud of his many accomplishments,” said emcee Matt Bradley. Keating’s hero status was earned early. When his little sister Meghan got stuck in the mud he would pull her out and carry her home. His giving nature was noted numerous times. The memorial means a lot to his family as well. “We are so proud to have Shane’s name connected to this park,” Meghan told the crowd. “Ever since Shane died I knew I wanted to speak publicly but I didn’t know when and where. It turned out this was the when and where.” Meghan added that for her, the Corporal Shane Keating memorial gazebo is a place

place and a free place. “In this new park, a new generation of memories can be made. It’s because of soldiers like Shane that we are free to play.” Dalmeny mayor Nick Bakker spoke about the shock to the town on the news of Keating’s death. Keating’s former teacher Glen Kehler highlighted five things about him – he had an inquiring mind, was very sociable, had a strong sense of justice, a great sense of humour and never backed down from physical demands – all the marks of a good soldier, he said. Before Afghanistan, Keating had already participated
in two tours to Bosnia. Others who paid tribute were Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm Young, Keating’s first platoon commander, Major Craig Butler, Keating’s platoon commander overseas, and North Saskatchewan regiment padre captain, Ivan Nahachewsky. “Everyone had different stories of Shane, but they all came back to him being the same person,” said Benoit. “He was the same person as a kid, as a brother, as a student, as a friend, as a member of the military - you saw the same Shane underlying in every story. He was who he was. He was a true authentic person and that was
evident today.” After the formal program there was a moment of silence followed by a lament played by a soldier on bagpipes. After the singing of “O Canada” the crowd proceeded over to the gazebo led by the family and then members of the military. A memorial plaque was unveiled and a tree was planted by the family. The plaque is part of the Canadian Pacific Railway Afghanistan Memorial Plaque Program started by Darrel Sundholm, who was in attendance and spoke briefly. CONTINUED ON PAGE 26

Langer said she and fellow band students were taken by surprise when they were told about the fate of the band program at her school. “We found out at our band rehearsal, this most recent Monday actually. We were all generally surprised. It wasn’t something the group expected to happen and people were really upset,� said Langer. “Apparently they had known about it a couple of months before, which is worse because we knew they had been talking about it and they didn’t really care about what we thought. We felt a little betrayed by our division and the staff there.� Langer plays clarinet in the band. She said she hasn’t determined if she’ll pursue music after high school, but says band is an option that shouldn’t be taken away. Langer started a Facebook petition to protest PSSD band cuts. In less than a week, it gathered 4800 names. Langer said she would like to PSSD officials to say how much they are actually saving by eliminating the band program. Education Minister Don Morgan said he is disappointed in the steps PSSD has taken. Morgan said since 2007 the government has increased operating funding to PSSD by over 30 per cent (from $79 million to over $103 million), sig-
nificantly higher than enrolment increases of 18 per cent over that same period. Trent Wotherspoon, education opposition critic for the Saskatchewan NDP, said the provincial government has failed students and cutting the band program is totally unacceptable. “We see all across Saskatchewan, classrooms that are overcrowded and under-resourced with supports and educational workers that have been cut and students not getting the one-onone support they deserve. “This is a consequence of the Sask Party that just hasn’t made education a priority,� said Wotherspoon. The PSSD is planning two informational meetings for parents and the community. The first meeting is set for Delisle Composite School on Monday, June 8 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.. The second meeting is at South Corman Park School on Wednesday, June 10, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Langer said the meetings will be interesting. “Nobody knows what to expect from the meetings. I know a lot of people are very angry and upset about this decision but I think it is important that people remember that PSSD won’t listen to a bunch of angry people,� said Langer. “Keeping a level head is the best way to get them to understand.�

Band program cuts spark backlash
By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca A decision by Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) to cut its music band program in 17 of its 45 schools has sparked a backlash from students and caught the attention of provincial legislators. According to a statement from PSSD, the proposed change to the band program is one of many reductions to school programs and division office staff in response to a $7.1 million shortfall in provincial funding. The statement also mentioned that over the next several years Prairie Spirit will be transitioning from the current instrumental band program to a broader music education program In a letter sent home to parents last week, PSSD officials also stated that band programs experience larger student participation at the Grade 5 level (38 to 64 per cent), but by Grade 9-12 the level of participation dramatically declines to between 2 and 6 per cent. As a result, PSSD aims to transition to a K-9 Arts Education curriculum with elective music options at the secondary level. Shawna Langer, a Grade 11 student at Walter W. Brown High School in Langham, said the school division could have looked at other options.

Aberdeen Citizens on Patrol group helping RCMP reduce petty crime By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Increased incidents of petty crime in the Town of Aberdeen and surrounding areas have prompted residents to take a stand. At a recent meeting held at the Town of Aberdeen office as many as 18 people supported the idea of starting a Citizens on Patrol (COP) group to help monitor suspicious activity and help RCMP catch criminals in the act. Over the last couple of years cases of car prowling [people checking cars for unlocked doors for the purpose of stealing items], garage break-ins, stolen gas and items stolen from nearby farms have increased. The meeting was organized by Aberdeen resident and COP chair Gerald Belsey. “Last year we ran a local ad in the town newsletter and there wasn’t a lot of response, but we did get together within the last month with local law enforcement and the RCMP to talk about some of the criminal activity happening in town,” said Belsey. Belsey said the huge response at the meeting was clearly a sign that residents are concerned. He said his phone has been ringing off the hook and continues to receive emails from residents who are interested in joining the group. Belsey said he hopes to have COP up and running by the middle of next month
“It won’t stop all crime from happening but we hope it will reduce crime in Aberdeen significantly, which is our primary goal...”

pending criminal record checks on group members, which is standard protocol for people who want to join COP. Belsey said the plan is to organize patrols in groups of two, and patrol areas of Aberdeen two to three times a week. Depending on how successful the group is in helping to reduce crime he said he would be happy to set up a COP program for the RM of Aberdeen and nearby communities. Belsey also hopes the group will help change the attitudes of city dwellers who travel to Aberdeen and its surrounding communities to commit crime. He said with only so many RCMP officers tasked to patrol a vast area in the RM, police presence is not as great in a rural area compared to larger centres like Saskatoon. “If they come into town we think our presence will be enough where they will turn around and go someplace else,” said Belsey. “It won’t stop all crime from happening but we hope it will reduce crime in Aberdeen significantly, which is our primary goal.”
It is important to note that having a COP group does not mean that members will be taking the law into their own hands, but simply monitoring the town for unusual activity from a safe distance and reporting it to the RCMP. “Part of the mandate of the COP’s program is not to get involved. Our safety is primary,” said Belsey. “If there is a fight or cars racing through town we are to stay a safe distance away, report to the RCMP and that is as far we go.” The COP program will make it easier for the RCMP, said Belsey. “Anything we can do to help the RCMP out I am sure they will appreciate it,” he said. Belsey said RCMP officers have told him that petty crimes often don’t get reported. He said helping to monitor Aberdeen could also help identify problem areas, which will help the RCMP in deciding what areas they should be policing more. The group plans on having monthly meetings at the town office. The next meeting is scheduled for June 15 at 7 p.m.

MECHANICAL FAILURE TO BLAME
Martensville Fire Rescue personnel responded to a fire at the A&W in Martensville on Wednesday, May 27. The fire was sparked by an electrical problem with the grill in the kitchen. Thanks to the quick thinking of the restaurant manager, who was able to shut off the gas and electricity in the building, the fire was contained to a very small area and damage was minimal. The restaurant reopened for business on Wednesday, June 3.

Vanscoy residents select twinned bypass route By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Residents of Vanscoy and area selected a twin bypass route for Highway 7 during a Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) Open House in Vanscoy on Wednesday, May 28. The route the MHI refers to as Option A is a 5.4 kilometer stretch that extends just north of the town. The bypass is estimated to cost $20 million. Steve Shaheen, Interactive and Social Media Consultant with the MHI Communications Branch, said there were about 130 people that attended the April 29 open house, where residents were given three route options to choose from. Shaheen said of the 84 written comments received, about 79 per cent preferred going with Option A. The purpose of the latest
open house was to provide feedback and results for the route residents favoured as well as providing an update on the entire project, said Shaheen. “We have work beginning on the east leg or Phase 1 from Saskatoon to the east of Vanscoy,” said Shaheen. “That work [grading and earth moving] is expected to be completed by this fall, weather permitting, which would open up paving for next year.” The Phase 3 portion of the project, which runs from Vanscoy to Delisle, is undergoing the detailed design process, said Shaheen. “The access points have not been finalized but land appraisals and property purchases are underway,” said Shaheen. “Grading and earthwork is planned for 2016 on that stretch, with planned paving in 2017 and
open to the public in 2018 to 2019.” Shaheen said there were fewer obstacles to overcome with Phase 3, which is why that portion of the project has moved along more smoothly. He said there is still a landowner he needs to speak with but that process is ongoing. Shaheen said when design work is complete for Phase 2 (the bypass route around Vanscoy that was recently decided), Phase 3 will involve further open houses. These will be scheduled to keep Vanscoy and surrounding residents in the loop through the entire design and construction process. There are currently 28 landowners impacted by the Highway 7 Twinning project. Shasheen said so farthings have moved along

Cuts to band program not unexpected
COMMENTARY
The backlash against the decision by the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) to cut its band program in several schools is not unexpected. But in fairness, the cuts themselves shouldn’t have been unexpected either. School division officials, both elected and administrative, have been warning everyone for the past year that cuts to programming were coming. After years of lobbying behind the scenes for additional funding to try and keep up with mushrooming costs created by huge year-overyear increases in the student population, the school division’s board of education took the unprecedented step of going public and calling on the provincial government to provide more operating funds. The PSSD, by its own estimation, puts its operating deficit this year at $7.1 million. That’s a very big hole to fill indeed. The school division last year covered its shortfall by reaching deeply into its reserve funds to keep the same level of staffing and programming as previous years. But reserves are a short-term fix, and anyone who has ever laid out a household budget knows you can’t keep drawing down your bank account indefinitely. Something had to go. If it wasn’t music, maybe it would have been math or English or outdoor education. A case could be made for the importance of every single academic course, sports program and arts initiative currently offered throughout the division. It’s a judgment call as to which is needed more; and everyone, whether they have children in school or just pay taxes to keep the schools open, has their own opinion. We also each have our own biases based on our own experiences and knowledge. It’s been over 40 years since I played third trumpet in the North Kamloops Senior Secondary School band in Kamloops, BC (yes, Virginia, they had trumpets even back in the early 1970s). It was a social club as much as a class, and it still brings back good memories. So when kids say they need a program like this, even an grey-haired curmudgeonly editor has to concede they have a very valid point. But cuts like this one aren’t made on the spur of the moment. They’re the result of long, drawn-out deliberations and they’re based on hard facts. For school trustees who pride themselves on shepherding the division’s schools to the top of the class in provincial graduation rates and academic scores, cutting any program, particularly one where students can express themselves musically and be an important member of a close-knit performing group, is a very tough pill to have to swallow. They and the school division administration obviously wrestled with this dilemma for many, many months and it’s likely they had many sleepless nights because of it. Unfortunately, the sleepless nights are not over yet. The PSSD budget is entering its final stages and will be released at some point in June. There are going to be additional cuts to other, equally important, programs and services. It’s inevitable as long as provincial education funding for this school division’s operating budget continues to fall short. -TERRY PUGH

Political feud may produce a positive Whether politically motivated or not, rural Saskatchewan may owe a debt of gratitude to Progressive Conservative leader Rick Swenson. Forcing the issue on who has the right to own farmland in this province is a debate worth having. Swenson and his nemesis Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart have agreed on precious little during their combative political careers. It was Stewart who beat out Swenson for the Saskatchewan Party nomination in Thunder Creek. Swenson then returned to his roots and reinvigorated the old Progressive Conservative party he now leads. But while the two Thunder Creek politicians may be continuing their feud over the format of the farmland ownership review, that both now see value in some sort of review is a very good thing. Stewart announced last month the parameters for online consultations (www. saskatchewan.ca/farmland) that will last until Aug. 10. Participants will get to peruse background documents on the role of Farm Land Security Board, complete a survey and compare farmland ownership rules in other jurisdictions. The results ANGELA HEIDEL

will be publicly posted online. The main issue appears to be the current rules that dictate only Canadian residents and “100 per cent Canadianowned entities” should be permitted to own more than 10 acres in this province. Since April 13, temporary restrictions have been imposed, denying pension funds and other institutional investors from acquiring farmland until this review is complete. The move comes as a result of a public outcry from rural residents (and Swenson) over the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board’s (CPPIB) $128-million purchase on December 2013 of 115,000 acres of farmland owned by Assiniboia Farmland Partnership. The deal was not reviewed by the Farm Land Security Board, but the Justice Ministry offered its approval. In current PC radio ads and in press releases, Swenson has attacked both the current law and this specific deal and is now questioning

why this transaction, itself, is not part of review process. At a news conference at the legislature last month, Swenson hinted problems with the patronage-nature of Farm Land Security Board appointments and proposed future boards be made of representatives from the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association, the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association, the Saskatchewan Realtors’ Association and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation. But the PC leader also demanded that the entire review process be taken out of the hands of the agriculture ministry because of a “potential conflict of interest” between Ministry of Agriculture Deputy Minister Alanna Koch and “the predecessor company involved in the CPPIB purchase.” Swenson noted that Koch sat on the board of EAI Agriculture Development Corp. as an adviser to Assiniboia Farmland in 2005-06. He also noted that “the advisory company was owned 85 per cent by Emsley Associates, which is wholly-owned by Doug Emsley and his spouse.”
Swenson told reporters Emsley served on Premier Brad Wall’s transition team that may have had a role in advising the Sask. Party government on deputy ministers appointments like Koch. The PC leader may be drawing a very long bow in concluding that the Agricultural Ministry can’t handle this review because of a conflict. Koch noted that she was only on Assiniboia Farmland’s advisory committee for a short time, didn’t attend any meetings, didn’t receive any money for it and resigned when she became deputy minister. It’s also worth noting that Swenson and Emsley were embroiled in legal proceedings over control of the PC Trust Fund; millions of dollars left behind by the former Progressive Conservative party of the 1980s. Swenson now controls the fund and is using the money to fund things like the current PC political advertisements hammering the farm ownership law. How much of this is driven by politics is hard to say. But what has come out it; a review of the farmland ownership laws in this province; would seem to be a very good thing.
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.

Ambulance company sees major spike in call volume over past year By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Saskatoon region paramedics responded to about 29,000 emergency medical calls in 2014; an increase of 2,000 responses over the year before, according to MD Ambulance Director of Public Affairs Troy Davies. In an interview at an MD Ambulance open house event on Wednesday, May 27, Davies said the increase in call volume was largely due to the increase in population in the City of Saskatoon and surrounding area. “Saskatoon grew by 17,000 people last year,” said Davies. “On top of that there were an additional 5,000 people moving to the rural area around the city. The sheer number of people means there will be an increasing demand for ambulances.” MD Ambulance, which serves an area that includes communities within a 45mile (72 kilometer) radius of Saskatoon, recently acquired an additional two 12hour ambulances to add to its fleet. “The Saskatoon Health Region is working with us on a pilot project to help us deal with with our high call volume,” said Davies. “It’s part of a readiness model so that if you call an ambulance, we’re going to be there for you, instead of being tied up at hospital waiting rooms.” Davies said the health region’s recent “14-day challenge” made a big difference in turnaround time for paramedics transferring patients to hospital emergency rooms. “They were able to get our patients out of the hallways for the most part,” said Davies. He said paramedics assigned to work with nurs-

Martensville lays out new vision for core area neighbourhoods By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The more established area of Martensville could look a lot different two decades from now. A “Core Area Enhancement Strategy” for the neighbourhoods immediately north and south of Main Street was unveiled at an open house event at Martensville City Hall on Tuesday, May 26. The core area strategy is part of a larger vision included in the city’s new Official Community Plan (OCP), and the larger regional concept plan, both of which were also on dis-
play at the event. The proposed Core Area Enhancement Strategy contains a new set of guidelines designed to facilitate subdivision of large lots to accommodate slightly higher housing density, as well as the creation of a pedestrianfriendly business corridor linking Centennial Drive with the Lake Vista neighbourhood. The key to the plan is to “enhance” the area while still retaining its “heritage” character, says Martensville City Councilor Travis Wiebe. “I think this gives us a
Warman applying for cenotaph project funds By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca An outdoor cenotaph dedicated to the memory of Warman and area residents who served in major wars is one of the projects the City of Warman is hoping to secure funding for from the New Building Canada Fund. The proposed cenotaph has already received the goahead from Warman City Council. Approximately $100,000 was earmarked for the project in the city’s 2015 budget. But the city is hoping to offset that cost by applying for funding from the provincial and federal governments. The application has a very short window, according to Warman Recreation and Community Services Manager Paul McGonigal. “The application has to be completed by June 17,” McGonigal told the Warman City Council meeting on Monday, May 25. “It is a tight time frame, but a lot of the preliminary work on the design, landscaping and costs is already done, so it’s not unrealistic to meet that deadline.” McGonigal said the fact that the funding requirements are under $200,000 increases the likelihood of the application being accepted, although nothing is certain at this point.
The criteria for funding also stipulates that a potential project enhance its surroundings. The cenotaph is slated to be erected in RJ Gidluck Park near the Legends Centre. The other project the city is applying for under the program is a “Canada 150 Mosaic Mural”. Warman Economic Development Officer Josh Welz said the mural offers the city an opportunity to get the community involved in a project that is culturally relevant and unique.
starting point to reshape the core area in a way that really benefits the residents and enhances the quality of life here,” said Wiebe in an interview at the open house. “Martensville is a little different than a lot of other communities in Saskatchewan because it kind of grew organically and wasn’t planned out like a traditional prairie town with a railroad and elevator. “Right now we have an opportunity to put guidelines in place that allow for a more planned approach that ensures any new development is a proper fit for the area.” Wiebe said it’s a gradual, long-term vision that will take many years to be fully implemented. “Residents shouldn’t be concerned that things are going to happen overnight,” said Wiebe. “This will all happen gradually. What we’re doing is putting guidelines in place to allow development to happen in a way that benefits the residents and ensures things are a proper fit for that area.” Tim Steuart, a planner with Crosby Hanna, the consulting engineering firm that prepared the Core Area Enhancement Strategy, the new OCP and zoning bylaws, said the older part of the city was based on large lot sizes with relatively small singlefamily dwellings. “There is redevelopment occurring now within the

Martensville’s Main Street, looking west from 5th Avenue North, currently has many large lots with smaller houses. The Core Area Enhancement Strategy sets new guidelines that will facilitate subdivision of large lots to accommodate a slightly higher housing densiity as well as creation of a pedestrian-friendly commercial corridor linking Centennial Drive with a new business hub near the Lake Vista neighbourhood. city,” said Steuart in an interview at the open house. “Currently, city council has to deal with each development proposal individually and the current zoning bylaws don’t necessarily reflect council’s vision for the future, and the proposals don’t always fit in with the character of the neighbourhood.” Steuart said the Core Area Enhancement Strategy is a way of allowing the city to “get ahead of the curve” and facilitate “high-quality infill development that takes into account the impact on existing residents.” He said the most important element of the strategy is ensuring that any new de-

struggling academically. “He also had an ability to talk to others, whether they were five, 25 or 95,” she said. “I’m so amazed and appreciative of the support of people who have contributed, because everyone has their own lives and their own issues they have to deal with as well. It’s really heartwarming to see the response so far to the Gofundme campaign. I guess kindness has a way of coming back around.” Monteith said the fundraising campaign is aimed at helping her son’s family “over the hump” until he is able to rebuild his life following a liver transplant, whenever that takes place. Donations can be made through the Gofundme website, or by contacting Brigitte Monteith at 306-222-2991.
velopment is “beneficial” to residents. “We wanted to provide some opportunities for slight increases in residential density, with some small multiunit dwellings if the lot is large enough to accommodate them,” said Steuart. “The maximum height would be two storeys.” The strategy also proposes a series of development standards to ensure new housing doesn’t infringe on the privacy of existing homes. In addition, site drainage
plans for proposed developments would be required to ensure they do not create problems for existing sites. “We don’t want to see any of the drainage problems made worse,” said Steuart. “Hopefully, site drainage for new developments will actually make things better.” Steuart said the engineering firm has been working with the city council and administration on the new OCP, zoning bylaws and Core Area Enhancement Strategy since last fall.

deteriorated over the past nine years, but until now he’s been able to adjust. “When he was first diagnosed they thought he would be good for at least ten years before he needed a liver transplant,” said Monteith in an interview on Wednesday, May 27. “He’s about on Year 9 now, so it’s getting closer.” When he was 18 years old, Wiebe was elected to Warman Town Council, becoming the youngest councilor in the history of the community.

Dalmeny Fire Rescue Junior Boot Camp gives kids taste of real thing
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Nine Dalmeny High School students found out last week that firefighting is a lot harder than it looks. The second annual Dalmeny Fire Rescue Junior Boot Camp, held May 27 and 28 at the fire hall and training grounds in Dalmeny, taught students basic firefighting and medical first response skills over an intensive 12-hour course. Students found out early why it was called “boot camp” when they had to put their physical strength to the test. Running 100 yards at full-speed carrying a 50foot fire hose, then dragging a 120-pound training dummy another 50 feet, and finally carrying two 20-pound water tanks 50 feet was a tough assignment for most of them. But they got through it, and even went on to master basic CPR techniques and try their hand at cutting open a vehicle using hydraulic and hand tools during the extrication exercise. For the majority of students who signed up for the boot camp, it was a way of preparing for a future career. Julia Peters, a Grade 12 student at Dalmeny High School, has her sights set on becoming a nurse. She’s already been accepted into the Sask Polytechnic (formerly SIAST) nursing program this fall after she graduates. “I signed up for this so I

Julia Peters
were put through were strenuous. “This is my first camp,” she said. “It sure looked a lot easier than it actually was. That dummy we had to drag was a lot heavier than I thought it was going to be. And wearing that helmet kind of throws you off balance.” Peters said she’s excited to go straight into nursing training out of high school. “My grandma’s a nurse, and my mom’s best friend is a nurse, and the lady I’ve baby sat for since I was 12 is a nurse, so I get to hear all their stories. I’m really looking forward to next fall.” The junior boot camp course featured practical skills, with each “station” taught by different members of Dalmeny Fire Rescue.

Ag In Motion exhibition near Langham the first of its kind in province By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A major outdoor farm show slated for late July near Langham is the first of its kind in western Canada. Rob O’Connor, Director of the Ag In Motion show, says this type of outdoor exhibition is very popular in Ontario. “There’s a very large show held annually in Woodstock, Ontario,” said O’Connor in an interview earlier this month. “But this is the first time something like this has been organized here in the west. It provides an opportunity for farm input companies and equipment dealers to provide practical demon-
strations directly to farmers in an outdoor setting.” The Ag In Motion exhibition is slated to take place July 21-23, and will feature over 300 exhibitors. The event is described as a “business-to-business” trade show that allows agricultural supply companies to showcase their products and services to producers in an interactive way. “It’s one thing to buy new products for your farm after reading about them, but it’s much better to see them in action side by side and compare them directly,” said O’Connor. “That’s what this show is all about. We’re focusing on providing farmers
with the best opportunity to interact with companies and the products they deliver.” The show will feature major companies like Monsanto, Dow, Dupont, Pioneer and others. “These are the ones we want to highlight, and build the show around them,” said O’Connor. “We’ve also had a lot of interest from major equipment suppliers.” Earlier this spring, the show signed an agreement with the Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada. The site for the exhibition is located a short distance outside of Langham alongside Highway 16. O’Connor said once the de-
New doctor signs on in Martensville A new family doctor will be starting a practice at the Martensville Collective Health and Wellness Clinic later this month. Dr. Siobhan ConwayHicks, a recent graduate of the McMaster Family Medicine residency, is expected to start in
mid- to late June, according to Dr. Allison Adamus, the family doctor who started the clinic with her physiotherapist husband, Trevor Adamus. Dr. Conway-Hicks, who also has a degree in psychotherapy, is moving to Martensville from
Ontario with her partner and newborn son. Her hours have yet to be determined. New patients are welcome to register for the waiting list by sending their name, health number and date of birth by email to: reception@mchw.ca .
Martensville 3 on 3 hockey tournament By JESSE REIS Martensville Community Recreation Project Dalmeny’s Fall 3 on 3 hockey tournament has become the Martensville 3 on 3 hockey tournament. Last year the tournament moved over from Dalmeny because the early start worked better at the Martensville Sports Center. For the 2015 year, the tournament is under the direction of the Martensville Commu-
nity Recreation Project and Dalmeny Minor Hockey. This is a great opportunity for players to get in shape for the start of their hockey seasons. The season starts on August 31 and goes until September 21. There will be no games on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the long weekend but will continue Monday night. Players are still getting the same great product that has been offered for the last
number of years, now it is in Martensville and has a different name. For more information and to register go www.martensville3on3.goalline.com The website is still in the process of being turned over to Martensville 3 on 3 but will soon be changed to reflect the new name. Registration is limited, especially for goalies, so avoid dissapointment by registering early!
cision was made to hold the Ag In Motion show in western Canada, the organizers looked at a number of options for location. “We weighed the pros and cons of many different sites,” he said. “We looked at Edmonton, Olds, Regina, Saskatoon, Brandon and Winnipeg. In the end, the lo-
cation that made the most sense was the Saskatoon region. Then we spent several days looking for an appropriate site, and we chose the Langham property.” A company was formed to purchase the land, and Ag In Motion rents the property for the show. O’Connor said the plan is to make it an an-
nual event. He said seeding of several different crops has already taken place on the land. “We have about 20 acres of crop plots from different companies and the university,” he said. “It’s all aimed at providing practical demonstrations for farmers.”

RM to license Battleford Trail waterline The RM of Corman Park is looking for solutions to theft and vandalism problems at several tank fill stations in the RM. The RM has stations located half a mile north of 33rd Street west on the Dalmeny Grid at Battleford Trail, on Clarence Avenue next to the SaskWater facility at the intersection of Clarence Avenue South and Cartwright Avenue and another one mile west of Warman on Township Road 390 at Range Road 3052. All tank fill stations operate on a cash system, whereby potable water can be obtained through a coin operated dispenser. However, thieves and vandals have targeted the easily-accessible coin mechanism. The fill tanks have also deteriorated due to environmental factors, leading to rising repair costs and more ongoing maintenance by staff. The Department of Public Works has considered the option of an automated system whereby ratepayers could obtain potable water without the use of currency. In the long term the automated system would eliminate the need for cash and reduce the incidences of theft and vandalism. The system would use prepaid magnetic stripe cards as a payment method, requiring users to first come to the RM office to purchase funds. Public Works has also sourced a quote from Pumps and Pressure incorporated to install the new system. Division 6 Coun-
cilor Bas Froese-Kooijenga recommended the RM receive the proposal for conversion of the tank fill stations and the quote from Pumps and Pressure Incorporated as information.
Water line
The province’s Water Security Agency is requiring the RM to licence the Battleford Trail Pipeline. Corman Park operates the water system servicing the Battleford Trail Pipeline. SaskWater buys potable water from the City of Saskatoon and transports it in a SaskWater pipeline to the northwest edge of the City of Saskatoon. The SaskWater pipeline then connects to the Battleford Trail Water System owned by Corman Park. The primary users of the pipeline are the municipal shop and properties in the immediate vicinity of the shop. Public Works is currently working on a permit
with the WSA but there are several factors involved in the licensing of the Battleford Trail pipeline that have extensive ramifications for both the RM and ratepayers. These include increased departmental operational costs as a result of mandatory requirements prescribed by the WSA; continual administrative requirements and increased water rates to subscribers as a result of daily operational procedures.
speed sign changes
The Hamlet of Neuhorst requested that a one mile section of Range Road 3050 south of Township Road 400 be changed from 40 km/h to 30km/h. The country residential subdivision of Eagle Ridge also requested that their one mile section of Range Road 3042 south of Township 372 be designated with a 50 km/h speed limit sign.

CVAC athletes burn up the track through district, conference finals By GRANT ELKE CVAC Extra-Curricular Commissioner After several weeks of inconsistent training weather, CVAC track and field athletes and coaches were greeted with two of the best days ever for their conference meets on May 20 and 21. It was in the mid-20s with a gentle wind blowing both days, ideal for everyone - as long as you don’t talk to the 1500m runners going late in the afternoon. Athletes competed at the bantam, midget, junior, and senior levels with the top 8 finishers at each conference meet qualifying for the district meet the following week.
CONFERENCE RECORDS SET
In the Conference A meet, the great weather led to a few records being set. In the bantam girls’ category, four girls broke the old 80m hurdles record, but Brooklyn Rowley set the mark, winning in 13.56 seconds, shattering the old record by almost 1.3 seconds. In the junior girls’ category, Amy Blom from Delisle set a new record in the 80m hurdles, running a 12.74 seconds, breaking the old record by 0.4 seconds. In the senior girls’ category, Jade Peters from VCA set a new mark of 10.76m in the triple jump, breaking the old record by over 25 cm!
CONFERENCE A WINNERS
Winners of the conference aggregate medals were the following: Ian Frattinger – BB – Valley Manor, Brooklyn Rowley – BG – Venture Heights, Nikolai Krebs – MB – Vonda, Brooklyn Colburn – MG – Delisle, Daniel Perrault – JB - RJC, Amy Blom – JG – Delisle, Jade Peters – SG – RJC, and Carter Doell / Dawson Rowley - SB – RJC / Martensville.
CONFERENCE B GIRLS
In the Conference B meet, the perfect conditions also led to a number of records
being broken. In the midget girls’ category, Jasmine Fehr from VCA, in the 400m, finished in 1:04:25, shaving 0.15 seconds off the record. In the junior girls’ category, in the 80m hurdles, Rebecca Barkway from Warman shattered the record by 0.44 seconds, winning in 12.7 seconds. In the senior girls’ category, in the 200m race, Jessica Baron from Warman ran a 26.64 seconds in her preliminary and final races, breaking the old record by 0.54 seconds. Finally, the girls’ tetrathlon (100m, 800m, long jump, shotput) saw new records established as Jill Ehman from Clavet ran the 800m in 2:53:8 seconds and jumped 4..55m in the long jump, just falling short of establishing a new total score record.
CONFERENCE B BOYS
A number of records also fell in the boys’ events. In the bantam boys’ category, Jonas Schweizer from Hague set a new record height of 1.57m, edging out the old mark by 0.04m. The midget boys’ category saw Payne Wylie from Colonsay set a new mark of 14.2 s in the 100m hurdles, shaving almost a full second off the time he established last year. In the junior boys’ category, a new 100m hurdles record was set when Elliott Klassen from VCA raced out to a 15.01 s time, cutting 0.2 seconds from the previous mark. At the senior boys’ level, Chance Wylie of Colonsay ran an amazing 52.37 s in the 400m, setting a mark 0.72 seconds better than the previous record. The senior boys’ long and triple jumps featured battles between two record setting brothers from VCA, as both broke the previous record in both events. In the end, Logan Longfellow established a new mark of 6.40m in long jump, while his older broth-
er Spencer set the record in triple jump at 13.34m.
BOYS TETRATHLON
The boys’ tetrathlon was simply amazing!! New records were set in each of the four events. Logan Schatz from Dalmeny set the first mark as he ran a 11.77 seconds in the event’s 100m race, a new record by 0.3 seconds. In its 800m run, four competitors broke the old record, but the benchmark was established by Graham Beresh from Clavet at 2:21:37, crushing the old record by almost 8 seconds! In the long jump, Colton Halverson from Colonsay stepped up, jumping 5.82m and beating the old record by over 25cm. In the shotput, Graham Beresh set his second record of the day, throwing 12.08m. But it was Logan Schatz, with a 1st in the 100 and a 2nd in the 800m, long jump, and shotput, who established a record 2322 point total as the new mark for future tetrathlon athletes to chase.
conference B winners
Winners of the conference aggregate medals were the following: Jayce Janzen – BB – Dalmeny, Nicole Hoare – BG – Dalmeny, Payne Wylie – MB – Colonsay, Mikayla Feitsma – MG – VCA, James Pruim – JB – VCA, Tana Thiessen - JG – Hepburn, Jessica Baron – SG – Warman, and Chance Wylie – SB – Colonsay.

Dedication to soldier
Cake was served from the gazebo which was built by the Dalmeny High School industrial arts students. Benoit wasn’t alone in appreciating how many of Keating’s military comrades were present. “They’re such professionals and they do a job that so few want to do. It’s just such an honour to be able to meet so many of them, and to see them come out and support Shane’s family, and to remember Shane,” she said. The park has a couple more phases to complete. Benoit says phase two will consist of adult fitness equipment, preschool play equipment, reverse basketball courts and soccer pitches. Phase three will be the spray park and washroom facilities. The committee will continue to apply for grants and raise the money for the next two phases. But they’ll need help. “Unfortunately we can’t build playgrounds and spray parks on passion and good intentions. There comes a point where you need the funds,” says Benoit. Anyone interested in donating funds can do so through the 100 families for $100 challenge, by purchasing a personalized park bench or picnic table, buying a cook book by donation, or by visiting dalmenysprayandplay.com.

Work Horse Day
Mel Henry of Corman Park leads his team through their paces in the farm chore course

Dalmeny work horse day blends practice, competition and fun By HILARY KLASSEN hilarylklassen@gmail.com In the mid-morning sunshine, through wind gusts and last fall’s stubble, teams of work horses began a day of equipment demonstrations and competitions at the first-ever Dalmeny Working Horse Day. About 15 teams from around the province converged on the Janzen Farm to display their skills, while their owners took the opportunity to strengthen their unique fraternity. “We’re horse guys,” said Brad Funk, one of the organizers of the event. There were horse gals participating as well. One of the goals of the day was simply to bring together people who share this common ground. The ground is shared literally and figuratively by Dale and Joanne Janzen, owners of the farm where the horse day took place. Joanne said they couldn’t be more delighted to be hosting the event on their century farm. “This is a just a dream come true!” she said. “We’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time.” She hopes it will become a growing annual event. Another goal was for the teamsters to show what their horses can do. Ken Crush, who helped plan the event and also did

It provided some entertainment. “That’s sort of what the day was about – practice, show some of your expertise and have some fun,” said Crush. The organizers were really pleased with the response to the event. “Anybody you talked to that was there was really quite excited at seeing this being done,” said Crush. “And the teamsters were really pleased with how we had it organized. We felt really quite rewarded by responses from teamsters as well as by our audience.” “We’re glad that there’s grandmas and grandpas here. Actually, the nursing home in Dalmeny brought their bunny bus out, so there were several people in their 90s that had a chance to see the miniature horses as well as the big drafts, and we’ve had some little ones in strollers, so this is a family day.” Crush mentioned that other communities like Bjorkdale and Rama are hosting these kinds of events, in part to bring back memories and let young people see what happened in the past, as man and beast worked together.

NEXT IS NOW
community group donates to warman schools
The Crystalbrook Community Association recently presented a total of $10,500 to Warman Elementary School, Warman Community Middle School and Warman High School. Pictured are (back row, left to right) Heather Chatfield, Warman Community Middle School Principal Greg Tebay, Warman Elementary School Principal Scott Dyck, Anytime Fitness and Agile Athletics representatives Orlando Hamm and Sarah Maduck (Middle row) Jennifer Jellicoe, Warman High School Principal Michael Collins, Colleen Acorn, Crystalbrook Community Association President Lisa Tenetuik (Front row) Taya Chatfield, Sophia Anderson, Ella Stewart, Camryn Acorn, Hayley Tenetuik and Carson Stewart. Each school is receiving $3500. The Elementary school will use the money for new playground equipment to replace some of the aging equipment currently at the school. The Middle School will be using this money to enhance their newly-created Cross Country Ski program that will be started up next winter. With the new
ski trails created by The City of Warman and The Legends Golf Course it provides a great opportunity to introduce the kids to a different sport. The High school will direct their funds toward extra curricular activities. The high school will see a decrease in funds next year due to PSSD budget cuts so this money will help with uniform, transportation and many other costs associated with extra curricular activities. The Crystalbrook Community Group has put on numerous fundraisers throughout the past few years. The group’s most recent fundraiser, “The Night the Ladies Left,” sponsored by Anytime Fitness and Agile Athletics, was held April 18 in Warman, and raised over $9300. Without the support of the businesses who donated funds and prizes, as well as those who attended, this event would not have been as successful. Next year’s The Night the Ladies Left will be held on April 30. Anyone interested in helping with this event or who would like to be part of the community group is encouraged to contact crystalbrookcommunitygroup@hotmail.com or find us on Facebook.

Highway construction season continues to progress as nine new major projects began in the province this week. New grading projects include a $10.5 million twinning project on Highway 7 near Vanscoy. Construction work on the long-awaited project began the week of May 25. About nine kilometers of Highway 7 west of its junction with Highway 60 are being twinned this year. The project is set to be completed this fall. Sections of Hwy 7 between Delisle and Rosetown will also see the completion of six passing lanes by this fall. Two passing lanes along this section of highway were completed last year. A $28.7 million construction project to grade about 19 kilometers for the new twinned highway lanes to

Clavet is also underway. The grading work is slated to be completed by this fall. Construction work is also in full swing on the rebuilding of a section of Hwy 305 between Martensville and Dalmeny. The $12.5 million project will see 6.5 kilometers of highway graded and paved. The work is slated to be finished in the fall of 2016. Meanwhile, the finishing touches are being done to the new Highway 305 section between Martensville and Warman this summer. Another new construction project is the new Highway 2 alignment at Hoey. Grading and paving will begin on Highway 302 east of Prince Albert and repaving on Highway 18 near the Manitoba border. Slow to 60 kilometers/ hour and obey signs and flagpersons when passing
through construction zones so work can be done safely. The weekly construction update provides Saskatchewan residents with the latest details on projects underway to help plan safe travel throughout the summer and fall.

Martensville Lions Club hosts dog guide fundraiser By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Dog lovers in Martensville enjoyed some great weather to walk their dogs in support of the Lions Foundation of Canada Purina Walk for Guide Dogs at Kinsmen Park on Sunday, May 31. The walk raises funds for the foundation, a national charitable organization that breeds, trains and places service dogs with qualifying applicants from across the country. The foundation is celebrating its 30th anniversary and has gained steady momentum ever since raising more than $1,630,000 last year alone. Doug Ward, walk organizer and Martensville and District Lion Club Member, said his goal is to raise $5,000 for the foundation. He hopes to make the walk an annual event in Martensville. “I am hoping that we make that and if we make more that is great. We have to start somewhere and hopefully after this year we will learn a few things and next year it will be bigger and better,” said Ward. Canine Vision Canada was the foundation’s founding program. When it was established in 1985 guide dogs primarily assisted Canadians with visual impairment. Today the foundation has added dog guide programs including hearing ear, service, seizure response, autism assistance and diabetic alert. In 30 years more than
2,200 dog guides have been placed with people across Canada. The cost of raising, training and matching a dog guide with a qualifying person is approximately $25,000. None of that cost is passed on to the applicant. Ward said people get emotional when they see how much the dogs help people and make their lives better. “I know a lady who is in a wheelchair and she takes her service dog shopping. When she can’t reach a canned item on a shelfshe points to the canned good and the dog knocks it off the shelf and into her cart. The dog then takes her purse in his mouth up to the cashier for her so she can to pay for it,” said Ward. Dog guide owner Ray Ramage drove up from Saskatoon when he heard about the dog walk and said his golden retriever named Taylor saved not only him but his house from burning when he smelled smoke and knew something was not right. “Two years ago I had smoke in my house from cooking and he alerted me pretty quick. He rushed to me barking, did his little dance and alerted me that there was something wrong,” said Ramage. Through organizing the walk, Ward found out there are about 15 dog guide owners in Saskatoon and surrounding areas. Ward said he hopes one day to raise enough funds to help a local resident qualify for a service dog.

Riders have nearly all the pieces in place
Two quotes. That’s all you need. Just two simple quotes. As we embark on a brand new football season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and finally put 2014 in the past, there are only two people we need to hear from. The first comes from quarterback Darian Durant who was leading the Riders to a nearly franchise-best 8-2 start last year when he suffered a season-ending elbow injury in early September which sent the club into a tailspin. They went 2-7 the rest of the way including a distasteful first round playoff exit in Edmonton. With nine months to recover, which included a strong showing in the team’s minicamp in Florida in April, Durant is now feeling 100 per cent. He took to social media on the morning of Day 1 of 2015 Roughrider training camp in Saskatoon to reassure the antsy Rider Nation. “So blessed to be able to be able to do what I love for a living,” Durant wrote from his Twitter account at @ DarianDurant. “Still feel like a kid going into my 10th camp!” That’s music to our ears and Durant got the bulk of the work with the first team offense Sunday as he continues to test out his arm and get acclimated to new offensive coordinator Jacques Chapdelaine. He passed both with flying colours. The other guy you need to hear from is head coach Corey Chamblin who enters his fourth season in charge on the Rider sidelines. Along with general manager Brendan Taman, Chamblin was tireless in building a roster which he believes will be in the 2015 Grey Cup in Winnipeg in November. “I think it’s different,” Chamblin said, referring to his roster makeup from one year ago. “I think in some areas we’re a little bit better and that’s just a part of coaching and personnel and different things. When we looked at it, we addressed different issues. Sometimes it’s not what we didn’t find, it was what was available. I think this year there was a different set of guys available to us.” Chamblin’s talking about the pool of available free agents and veterans on the trade market which he carefully selected for his locker room. Grey Cup champions like receiver Jamel Richardson, middle linebacker Shea Emry, defensive end Alex Hall and defensive back Keenan McDougall were all added to bolster the lineup and provide the unteachable intangible of “knowing how to win”. The club enters the 2015 CFL campaign with only one glaring question mark and it’s along the invaluable offensive line where games are often won and lost. Veteran centre Dominic Picard was cut loose this winter and star right tackle Ben Heenan was lost to the NFL’s Indianapolis
Colts. Those are two important holes which the club is hoping to fill by unproven younger players. However the backbone of the team starts with the head coach and ends with the quarterback. If you have two cornerstones in place in
those spots, you’re in good shape. Down south, New England has the trusted tandem of Bellichick and Brady while Seattle has the solid pair of Carroll and Wilson. The good teams all do. Chamblin and Durant have the same credentials with
championship rings along with Coach of the Year and MVP awards on their resumes. The core is strong. Who knows how the 2014 season would have ended up had Durant stayed healthy? We’ll never know the an-
place and every team feels good about the club ROD PEDERSEN they’ve asVoice of the Riders sembled. Roughriders Radio Network Pretty swer to that and perhaps we soon we’ll board the alwayscan finally stop thinking entertaining roller coastabout it. er that is Roughrider season No, the time for optimism and I hope you’ll be along to is now. Here in early June follow the club’s fortunes eveveryone is tied for firstery step of the way.
