The Civic driver was transported to hospital with serious injuries.

On Sunday night, Warman RCMP attended a collision in the same area south of Warman on Highway 11 between a moose and a vehicle, said Austin.

“The moose was injured and was later dispatched by RCMP officers, but I have no details as we did not attend due to no human injuries, thankfully,” said Austin.

“We have sent out warnings over the last six weeks on social media warning citizens to drive safe due to moose being spotted on the shoulder of new Highway 305 and also Highway 11,” he added.

Austin said the issue with moose at night is the lack of visibility, as well as the sheer size of the animals.

“The dark color and eyes make them very hard to see, even with the best headlights,” he said. “The long legs hold up the body at windshield height so most cars will hit the legs, forcing the body through the vehicle at head height of the driver. Injuries are usually

Austin said in this case of the collision between the moose and the truck, the truck was sufficient height to prevent the moose hitting the windshield.

But in the case of the smaller car, “it was like the Civic hit a roadblock, flipping it over,” said Austin.

“Had the Civic hit a standing moose the results would have been catastrophic, not just very serious.”

Collisions with moose leaves drivers injured Three separate collisions with moose on Highway 11 south of Warman over the weekend show that drivers must be extremely careful, said Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin.

A collision with a moose on Highway 11 early Saturday morning, June 13, injured three people.

Austin said the collision occurred at approximately 3:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.

“A northbound F-150 Ford pickup truck collided with a moose on Highway 11,” said Austin. “The truck was sent onto the edge of the road with the moose still lying on the highway.

“Seconds later a northbound Honda Civic hit the moose, causing it to flip onto its roof and spin into the ditch.”

On arrival Warman Fire Rescue treated the F-150 occupants for injuries while two teams searched with Thermal Imaging Cameras for the driver of the Civic. The injured driver had climbed out of the vehicle, walked away and then collapsed in a nearby field.

Pike Lake School students get taste of triathlon

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca With a crowd of cheering supporters urging them on every step of the way, youngsters at Pike Lake School swam, biked and ran a miniature triathlon course on Monday, June 15.

The first annual “Try-aThon” served as both an in-

troduction to the sport for students at the K-3 school, and a warm-up act for this weekend’s Living Sky Triathlon, a qualifying event for the 2016 world competition in Mexico.

Divided into age groups and individually guided by a senior student from Delisle High School’s out-

door education class, the young students swam 25 or 50 meters to a buoy in the lake, then jumped on their bikes and pedalled 1.5 kilometers, and finally ran a kilometer in the final leg of the race, finishing up with a high-five and a medal.

Pike Lake School Principal Diana Jemieff said the

physical activity is part of the school’s unique “outdoor classroom” program.

“We really have an amazing location where kids can learn about nature and enjoy the water, the woods and the fresh air out here,” said CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

PSSD hopes meeting with province results in additional funding

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A final decision on the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) operating budget for 2015-16 will be made at a meeting on Monday, June 22.

Budget deliberations for Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) were delayed a week in order to accommodate a meeting between school division officials and representatives of the provincial Ministry of Education. The meeting between the school division and ministry of education is scheduled for Wednesday, June 17 in Regina.

PSSD Board of Education Chair Larry Pavloff said the Ministry of Education requested the meeting with PSSD administration last week.

“The fact that the ministry asked us to meet with them is a positive sign,” said Pavloff in an interview on Monday, June 15. “We’re hoping we will hear some good news.”

The PSSD board has said it is facing a $7.1 million shortfall in this fall’s operating budget due to what it terms an “unfair” funding formula. The PSSD board has lobbied the provincial government for the past several years to increase the level of operating funding for the school division.

A PSSD board of education meeting on Monday, June 15 had tentatively scheduled a discussion on the coming year’s operating budget, but the discussion was taken off the agenda prior to the start of the meeting.

The PSSD board has spent the last several months mapping out its 2015-16 budget based on current revenue commitments from the province, but the possibility of additional funding from the ministry of education prompted the board to hold off on adopting the document at its June 15 meeting.

“We’re hopeful this meeting will make our budgeting a little easier,” said Pavloff. “We’re not holding our breath, but the fact that the ministry requested the meeting is hopeful as far as we’re concerned.”

The PSSD budget must be finalized and in the hands of the Minister of Education by June 30. Pavloff said the board can meet this deadline even if the budget is adopted as late as June 22.

“We have our budget where it needs to be right now with the money we’ve been allotted,” he said. “But there is anticipation our budget could be less restrictive and more supportive of students following the meeting with ministry officials this week.”

School division looks at reducing administrative, teacher positions

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) is cutting several administrative positions inside its division office, including at least one Learning Superintendent.

Reductions are also being felt at the school level, where at least two vice-principal positions are being eliminated. The school division is also cutting 21.5 educational associate positions in schools; reducing the numbers of teacher librarians and reassigning staff administrative positions to teaching roles.

These and other cost-cutting measures were revealed by PSSD officials in a letter issued to parents of students throughout the school division on Wednesday, June 10.

In the “budget update” letter, PSSD officials summarize the reductions already confirmed by the PSSD Board of Education prior to the finalization of the 201516 budget. The budget is expected to be passed by the board later this month.

In the letter, PSSD officials say the reductions are aimed at ensuring students’ needs are met while reducing costs. The PSSD has stated that its operating shortfall for the coming year amounts to $7.1 million, and blames the provincial government’s education funding formula, introduced in 2012, as the reason for the shortfall. The school division says it has “eliminated $2 million in expenditures by reducing funding for programs and technology initiatives and by reducing teacher and educational Continued from page 3

associate staffing levels in schools.”

Last year, the school division also dipped into its reserve funds to the tune of $3 million to balance its budget. The school division says its costs are $1000 below the provincial average in comparison to other school division; and notes the rapid increase in enrolment over the past several years has stretched its resources.

A provincial review of the education funding formula is currently underway, but any recommendations

will not take effect until after September, 2016. The PSSD letter says the school division has seen a 14.6 per cent increase in enrolment since 2009, while its operating funds have increased by 21.6 per cent.

The provincial government has responded by saying the school division has received a 30 per cent increase in perational funding since 2007.

According to the letter, the confirmed reductions for 2015-16 include: one Division Office Learning Su-

perintendent; one Division Office Coordinator; one Division Office Capacity Building Special Education Resource Teacher; reassignment of Divisionbased teaching staff to vacant school-based positions; reduction of one Division Office Executive Assistant; education of one Division Office Receptionist; reduction of Division Office career and work exploration staff; reduction of Division Office staff supporting early learning; reduction of Division Office student support

a reduction in Teacher Librarians; staff will be reassigned to classroom teaching positions and others will be transitioned to new Learning Facilitator positions (net reduction of eight positions); reduction of funding for schoolbased budgets; reduction of 21.5 educational associate positions in schools; reduction of staffing levels in response to enrolment growth; reduction of two vice-principal positions; combination of small classes, where possible.

School division reassigns support staff to teaching positions

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Terminating one senior learning superintendent position and moving other school division office staff into front-line teaching positions is a short-term solution to a serious operating budget shortfall, according to Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) Education Director John Kuzbik.

In the long term, it’s not sustainable, he added, noting schools rely on resources and support from the division office to deliver programs.

In an interview on Thursday, June 11, one day after the school division sent a letter to parents of students

in the division outlining a number of specific cutbacks, Kuzbik said the PSSD board of education is looking to finalize its 2015-16 budget at later this month.

The budget cuts already made public in the letter to parents are the result of months of deliberation and debate, said Kuzbik. He added those decisions are unlikely to be reversed, but said there are other areas that are still subject to change.

“The final budget will reflect the four priorities of the PSSD Board of Education,” said Kuzbik. “These include: improving student learning, improving adult learning to support student

hUGE

learning, maintaining current staff, and maintaining current class sizes. These four priorities are intended to keep as many teachers as possible in classrooms working directly with students.”

Kuzbik said aside from the layoff of the learning superintendent, all other staff reductions will come through attrition. He said the teacher-librarians whose positions are being eliminated will move into teacher positions.

“The reassigning is being done with a focus on teaching,” said Kuzbik. “There is one staff position that is actually being terminated, and that is a superintendent position.”

Jemieff. “We only have about 27 students, so there’s a lot of individual attention for each student, and they learn so much when they have these opportunities.”

Lindsay Lee, a member of the Pike Lake School Community Council (SCC), said the “try-a-thon” was modelled on a similar event in Dundurn.

“We heard a presentation from Dundurn School about their event at Blackstrap Lake,” said Lee. “I thought, ‘wow, that would work so well at our school too.’ For the past several weeks the kids have been really pumped about it.”

Lee said the involvement of the outdoor education club at Delisle High School ensured that every child was involved.

“The high school kids have been great,” she said.

“They’ve been out here regularly helping get things organized and pitching in.

One time they all rode their bikes from Delisle to here.

They really promote physical activity and an appreciation of the outdoors to the younger ones.”

The school division is reducing the number of Educational Assistant (EA) positions by just over 21, but Kuzbik said there are more than 21 EAs who will be leaving the division or reassigned. He noted there is always a reassignment of EAs between school years, depending on enrolment in various schools and the proximity of EAs to schools where they are being assigned.

“We have some EA layoffs every year,” he said. “Sometimes a school is just too far away to make it worthwhile for an EA to drive there every day. The situation changes every year.”

Kuzbik said there were no EA layoffs that were a direct result of the budget reductions.

Donation to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit a way of saying: ‘thanks’

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Tina Searcy of Warman does her best to keep her tears at bay when she talks about how she almost lost her infant daughter in the hours after she gave birth three years ago.

“If it hadn’t been for the staff at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) here at Royal University Hospital, things could have turned out a lot different,” said Searcy. “Our story has a happy ending. My daughter is now a healthy and happy three-year-old thanks to these people. I will always be indebted to this place.”

Searcy, along with Amy Novakovski of Martensville and other young mothers are part of an organization dedicated to raising funds for the NICU. They presented a cheque in the amount of $33,091.73 to NICU manager Adeline Riehl at RUH on Wednesday, June 10.

The funds were raised through an event called “Bloom: An Evening of Love in support of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit” held last month on the Mother’s Day weekend.

“There are many parents who have gone through a similar experience,” said Searcy.

“Lots of people are looking for a way to say ‘thank you’ for the care and compassion.

This is our way of showing we’re very grateful.”

Amy Novakovski, one of the founders of the group, said the latest donation brings the accumulated total for all four years to $91,310.73.

“It’s so exciting,” said Novakovski. “We surpassed last year’s total, and that’s really what we wanted to do.

Right now we’re just shy of $100,000 in donations over four years.”

Novakovski said the group is already coming up with ideas for next year’s fundraising event, and the enthusiasm among volunteers is growing.

“We’re going to be doing this for a very long time,” she said.

Four years ago, Novakovski gave birth to premature twins, a son and a daughter. “My daughter was born healthy, and my son was born not breathing,” said Novakovski. “They whisked him away to the NICU, and they looked after him for five days. They brought him back to me and his sister on my birthday, which was exciting.

“They were instrumental

Tina Searcy of Warman (left) and Amy Novakovski of Martensville (right) present a cheque in the amount of $33,019 to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Manager Adeline Riehl in caring for him and allowing him to come home with me.

“Every day I am reminded that they saved his life and he’s here because this unit existed.”

NICU Manager Adeline Riehl, said the funds will be put to good use.

“We always have need of things that aren’t covered in our capital or operating budgets,” said Riehl. “The money could perhaps go towards enhancements to the unit

that provide for family comfort, or towards educational sessions for staff members.”

Riehl said the capacity of the 32-bed NICU occasionally is increased to as many as 38 beds, depending on the demand and the level of care required for each infant.

“We sure couldn’t accommodate 38 critically-ill babies at the same time,” she said. “But if we have some kids that aren’t needing as much support or equipment, then we can sometimes have

two or three babies attended to by one nurse. A lot of times the babies are so sick they need a full-time nurse and sometimes even two nurses involved in their care.”

Riehl said the new Children’s Hospital, slated to begin construction later this year, will allow for expansion of the NICU. “We will expand to a 45 bed capacity, and we will have individual patient rooms, which allows for

privacy for families,” said Riehl. “We’re so crowded in here there is virtually no privacy at all. It will be a much better facility all around.”

Riehl said the number of critically-ill babies that are admitted to the NICU is increasing every year, partly because of the increase in population.

Donations to the NICU are tax-deductible, and can be made directly to the NICU at any time during the year.

Overpass options on the table

With a rash of collisions recently at the intersections of Highway 12 and Main Street in Martensville; and Highway 11 and Central Street in Warman; the issue of overpasses is once again front and centre in many people’s minds.

While there is unanimous agreement that the overpasses need to be built as quickly as possible, not everyone shares the same opinion on where those overpasses should be located.

The initial open houses put on by the Ministry of Highways last month presented several options for both overpasses, and the feedback gathered from those public sessions was useful.

A second series of open houses is slated for next week: in Warman at the Brian King Centre on Tuesday, June 23 and in Martensville at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre on Wednesday, June 24. Both sessions will present updated information on both overpass projects.

While the location of the Martensville overpass is pretty much determined because of lack of other options; the location of the Warman overpass is not as cut and dried. In fact, there are four possible options for the Warman overpass, including three at the Central Street intersection and one at the intersection with the new Highway 305.

Some readers in Warman have expressed concern about the future of the Central Street entrance into Warman if the Ministry of Highways opts for the new Highway 305 option. These readers suggest the northern overpass may be chosen to direct more traffic to the proposed new commercial area.

In the end, safety considerations and engineering concerns will play pivotal roles in determining the most appropriate location. The bottom line, however, is that the public needs to be involved in the final decision, and these open houses are the best opportunity to do so.

School division funding issue comes down to the wire

The meeting slated for Regina this week between Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) administrators and provincial Ministry of Education officials is a hopeful sign.

It may mean a break for the school division if the province decides to provide additional funding in advance of the start of the new academic year. In the past, the province has ponied up money to the school division based on increased enrolment, but those funds came in the fall, after school had started and programming and teacher allocations were already set. An injection of funds prior to the adoption of the PSSD operating budget would certainly alleviate the level of uncertainty over programs, and give a bit of breathing space to administrators and board members.

But there is no guarantee this hastily-called, last minute meeting with the Ministry of Education will actually result in more money. PSSD Board of Education Chair Larry Pavloff hedged his bets when he told reporters on Monday, June 15 about the upcoming meeting. “We’re hopeful this meeting will make our budgeting a little easier,” said Pavloff. “We’re not holding our breath, but the fact that the ministry requested the meeting is hopeful as far as we’re concerned. We have our budget where it needs to be right now with the money we’ve been allotted. But there is anticipation our budget could be less restrictive and more supportive of students following the meeting with ministry officials this week.”

The most likely outcome is that there will be some sort of reprieve, but it will be a short-term fix. In the long-term, the PSSD will have to adjust to the government’s cost-cutting agenda, however painful and difficult that will be. But as long as the school division board, administrators, teachers and staff keep the interests of students at the top of the priority list, which they have always done in the past, it’s not unreasonable to expect the division to live within limits.

Saskatchewan is a deeply-divided province We are a deeply divided province, but we don’t speak much about where that line of division really occurs.

It isn’t the rural-urban split that we most often discuss in this space.

Nor is it the left-right political division between the CCF/NDP and its Liberal/ Progressive Conservative/ Saskatchewan Party opponents that so dominates conversations on coffee row.

It isn’t north and south nor east and west nor farmers and city dwellers nor unions and business. Nor, thankfully, is there any serious religious strife in Saskatchewan, despite having an historic, constitutional right to religious-based separate schools and a growing ethnic diversity that might cause tensions in a far less welcoming part of the world.

People in Saskatchewan can have their different beliefs, but drive through any municipality, small town, small city or big city suburbs and you will see neighbours living together in harmony.

Our great divide in Saskatchewan isn’t even rich or poor, although many would rightly argue economic and social status has become one of the many tragic outcomes of this divide.

Provincial Politics

one that actually started 50 years before we even became a province in 1905; is between First Nations and Non-First Nations.

And if there is a truth and reconciliation for this province that needs to emerge out of Justice Murray Sinclair’s Commission released earlier this month, it is that there are legitimate reasons why First Nations have struggles, and that we all must do much better if we are to repair this divide.

This doesn’t mean we have to accept every one of Sinclair’s 94 recommendations; some of which are little more that high-brow platitudes while others are just plain silly.

Apologies from government, churches and even the Pope are good, but they don’t solve much. It’s actions that count.

tles accomplish anything other than make already rich lawyers richer?

And while as a media person I could likely think of a thousand reasons for spending more on the CBC, the use of the CBC as a cultural bridge between remote First Nations people and the rest of Canada would be about the 999th.

We should also recognize how far we have come from the painted lines on the floors of rural bars that physically separated Indians from whites.

Some First Nations have the reserve schools they wanted that they built according to their own needs.

Inner-city public schools cater to the needs of largely First Nation student populations.

First Nations people have their own university and many more are graduating from other universities.

Many are pursuing skills training, jobs in business and jobs in the health, education and social services fields that are directly contributing to a solution for the problems of their own people.

We perhaps can now even envision the day when First Nations foster care services could do a far better job meeting their own chil-

dren’s needs than the provincial social services system.

Finally, First Nation people have to themselves accept than not every issue of broken homes, poverty and addiction can be traced back to residential schools or a society of white discrimination.

But what we all must accept is a whole lot of First Nations problems can be traced back to mistakes like residential schools.

It happened right under our noses at the Gordon’s Reserve residential school near Punnichy. There, William Penniston Starr; school director from 1968 to 1984; became one of the worst predators, eventually in 1993 pleading guilty to 10 counts of sexual assault of nine to 14 year-old former male students.

Those families whose families come from Gordons have suffered the generational transfer of broken homes, alcohol and drugs.

And the lingering impact of what went on In Punnichy is played out in First Nation communities throughout the province; even if what that means is nothing more than the loss of parenting skills.

This is our truth. This is what we must reconcile.

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.

McCracken enjoys new policing role in Vanscoy

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Vanscoy has a new but familiar face patrolling Range and Township Roads in the RM. In May former Warman RCMP detachment member Murray McCracken was hired as the RM’s new Chief of Police. McCracken replaces former RM Police Chief Glenn Thomson, who retired at the end of April after 13 years.

After just over a month on the job, McCracken said policing in Vanscoy brings back a lot of memories of his first job as a police officer.

“I feel like I am in my first year of being an RCMP member again in Lanigan, meeting and introducing myself to people, resolving issues. It is how I started and that’s what I enjoy doing, so I am having fun,” said McCracken.

McCracken spent 28 years as a member of the RCMP. The last ten years were spent as the commanding officer at the Radisson RCMP office, which falls under the Warman RCMP detachment’s jurisdiction.

There were many reasons why he chose to take the position in Vanscoy.

“It is an area I policed for the last ten years. Glen was retiring and it was something I wanted to continue,” said McCracken. “It’s a half time job, which suits me because I am getting a little older and the RCMP would have attempted to relocate me, which my family was not prepared to do.”

McCracken said he is pre-

pared for the new challenges of policing in the RM. “When I worked for the RCMP I supervised four other members, but doing this job I am a one man show. It is quite a bit different in that sense. I look after all the administrative stuff, my vehicle and that sort of thing,” said Mc-

Cracken.

McCracken added that dealing with issues regarding spring road bans will be new to him.

McCracken said he wants to introduce a new police filing system, and also work to establish and a rural crime watch organization this fall.

“We are so close to

Saskatoon and we have a lot of vehicle break-ins and car thefts. We are always on the lookout for gas thefts, especially this time of year with machinery in the fields so it would be a huge bonus to have an active crime watch,” said McCracken.

In his new role dealing mostly with bylaw enforce-

ment, ratepayer complaints and cutting down on speeding in the RM, McCracken feels his former experience as an RCMP officer will only benefit him in his new position.

“All RCMP members know

Dalmeny licensed daycare to be built near school

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A new licensed daycare centre is slated to be built in Dalmeny near Prairie View Elementary School.

An agreement has been reached between the Dalmeny Daycare and Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) to allow construction of a separate building to house the licensed childcare centre.

Dalmeny Mayor Nick Bakker made the announcement at a public meeting May 20 in Dalmeny.

“Dalmeny Daycare has been working for years to get a patch of land to construct their governmentsupported licensed daycare centre,” said Bakker. “The school division has finally given the nod for the group to lease part of the school property and construct the building there.”

Bakker said the process is currently underway to work out the details of the building’s design, operation and land lease agreement.

In an interview, Bakker said the town encour-

aged the daycare group and school division to reach an agreement. ““This group has been working on this a long time, and we thought a location near the school would be appropriate,” said Bakker. “Originally we thought if the school board can’t help, we would set it up beside the town office.

“But that’s not an ideal location because it’s right

alongside a main railway line, and that’s not a very conducive environment for little kids. There are safety concerns as well.”

Bakker said the location near an elementary school is a much more “nurturing” environment, particularly since it is close to the new Prairie Park playground that is slated to celebrate its grand opening this coming weekend.

Bravery of Warman man keeps residential fire from escalating

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Marshall Seed (centre) is presented with a commendation plaque by Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin and Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence in recognition of his actions

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The same motivations that prompted Marshall Seed of Warman to help start a Neighbourhood Watch program in the city also accounted for his quick actions in evacuating three people from a burning home and taking steps to save the residence from a potentiallydevastating fire.

It’s all about looking out for your neighbours and stepping up to the plate when you need to.

The Warman man was honoured at an informal ceremony in front of city hall on Thursday, June 11 when Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin and Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence presented him with a plaque of commendation acknowledging his actions.

“Marshall is our Local Hero,” said Spence. “Thank you on behalf of all the residents.”

Austin said the public commendation is an unusual event, but added it’s important to recognize altruistic actions that protect lives and property.

“Marshall noticed a fire, jumped a fence, notified the

RCMP detachment prepares for personnel changes

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The retirement of two sergeants at the end of June will mean big changes for the Warman-Martensville RCMP detachment.

RCMP Staff Sergeant Kevin Weber told the Martensville Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday, June 9 that Sgt. Warren Gherasim and Sgt. Mark Ochitwa are both retiring from the force later this month. One new sergeant has been appointed to the detachment to replace Gherasim, but a replacement for Ochitwa has not

yet been named.

The new sergeant, a female, will be starting her position at the detachment on July 6, said Weber.

Gherasim has taken a part-time position with the Corman Park Police Service. Weber said he will miss Gherasim’s and Ochitwa’s leadership in the detachment office.

Last month, one of the corporals at the Warman-Martensville RCMP detachment also announced his retirement.

“I feel the weight of two sergeants who are done at the end of the month,” said

Weber. “Combined with the loss of a corporal, that means three non-commissioned officers (NCOs) are leaving over a very short period of time. I’m looking forward to welcoming our new sergeants and corporal.”

With personnel transfers, maternity and parental leave, the detachment is currently in the midst of a number of personnel changes at every level, said Weber.

While the detachment has a total allotment of 29 officers, there are currently five officers on leave for various reasons.

“Those numbers can

change very quickly,” said Weber. “We’re expecting some replacements in continuously.”

But despite being stretched, the detachment is filling all shifts and is still providing 24-hour policing across its far-flung area, which stretches from west of Radisson, southwest of Delisle, east to the South Saskatchewan River and includes the cities of Warman and Martensville.

Weber said the detachment sets an annual perCONTINUED ON PAGE 21

homeowners and got them out of there and helped with a water hose and some outstanding efforts to hold the fire until we got there,” said Austin. “The fire was significant enough that by the time we got to the scene the house would have been fully engulfed if Marshall hadn’t done what he did.”

The plaque is inscribed with the following words: “Commendation awarded to Marshall Seed, whose actions at a house fire helped save lives and property.”

The plaque is dated June 7, 2015, and signed by the Mayor and Deputy Fire Chief.

Seed was humbled and a bit embarrassed by the attention, saying he only did what felt right at the time.

The presentation was a surprise to him. He thought he was called to City Hall for a Neighbourhood Watch meeting.

Fellow Neighbourhood Watch co-founder Mark Stiglitz was on hand to see the presentation and shake Seed’s hand.

In an interview, Seed said he and his wife and three sons were returning to Warman from Prince Albert on Sunday, June 7, when they noticed what appeared to be smoke coming from a home in a north-end neighbourhood.

“I figured it was definitely a fire,” said Seed. “We accelerated to where it was coming from and I jammed on the brakes and jumped out of the truck, ran around to the side of the house and I could see that the back of the house was fully engulfed and the smoke was pouring out from the back deck.

“My first thought was to go into the house to make sure there was nobody there. I found the homeowner’s wife in there and she was on the phone calling 911. I told her she needed to get out of the house right away.

“I have a bit of a family history with fire,” he continued. “I’ve lost a couple of family members to fires so it really hit home with me.

“My next thought was, this is an attached house. So I went next door and there were a couple of teenagers there and they were trying to find their cat. I told them to get out. Just leave the door open and the cat will come out on its own. I grabbed their keys off the wall and told them to move their vehicles out of the driveway right away.

“Then I went back around to the side of the house. The homeowner was at the back using a garden hose to try and put it out. I opened up the bottom of his deck and started pulling out stuff that was on fire. I asked him if he had a sledgehammer. He did. I went and got it and started knocking the deck down to try and get it away from the house. After that I grabbed another hose and we were both spraying water on the fire. Another gentleman; I regret I never did get his name; also showed up and he helped pull away the debris,” continued Seed.

“The combination of the water and breaking up the debris was enough to knock it down.”

Nine minutes after the first call, Warman Fire Rescue arrived on scene. By then the fire was essentially out, thanks to the efforts of the homeowner, Seed, and the unidentified third person helping.

“The bottom line is everyone was safe and that’s all that matters,” said Seed.

“You can replace a house, but you can’t replace a person’s life.

“The nice thing is that my sons were there watching, and they saw for themselves that there are times when you need to step up and do the right thing to help your neighbours.”

North View Mennonite Haven expansion on track, says administrator

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A $16 million expansion to the Warman Mennonite Special Care Home (WMSCH) is about 45 per cent complete, according to WMSCH Administrator Jim Wiebe.

The North View Mennonite Haven is a 72-unit assisted living complex designed to provide seniors with graduated living facilities as they age. The project was begun last fall and is slated for completion in September, 2016.

“So far it’s looking good,” said Wiebe in an interview on Saturday, June 13. “We’re still on schedule and we’re still on budget. The electricians, plumbers and framers have been working hard, and the roofers have gone as far as they can for the time being.”

The expansion is currently being tied in to the existing WMSCH care home, which has meant some temporary adjustments in the main facility, said Wiebe.

“We’ve had to move our offices to a temporary trailer on the end of B wing,” he said. “It’s made for a bit of a bottleneck in this one hallway because we now have only one entrance and exit for staff and visitors. We do have an emergency exit as well, however.”

The chapel space is still being used, but it is also serving as temporary bedrooms for some residents.

“The health region is installing four ceiling track lifts, which will be a huge help to both the residents and staff,” said Wiebe. “But

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

in the meantime, until the installation is complete, we need to use this space.”

The old chapel will be converted to a kitchen as part of the overall renovation, said Wiebe. A new chapel is currently under construction and will serve as the centrepiece for the entire complex.

Other renovations include additional offices and separate rooms to increase privacy for families visiting with their loved ones, and also for discussions between visiting physicians and residents, said Wiebe.

The WMSCH annual walkathon was held Saturday, June 13 and is one of the home’s biggest fundraisers, said Wiebe. The funds are going to pay for those additional renovations.

Participants in the annual walkathon gather at the Warman Mennonite Special Care Home on Saturday, June 13. Funds raised during the event will help pay for renovations that improve the quality of life for residents. The $16 million North View Mennonite Haven facility is currently under construction. Two wings of apartments will be connected to the new chapel and also to the existing special care home.

Warman Fire Rescue hosts fire, explosions investigators course

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Fire and police investigators from across the province had the unique opportunity to upgrade their skills by attending a Fire and Explosions Investigators Course at the Warman Fire Hall, June 8 to 11.

The three-module course, organized by the province’s Emergency Management and Fire Safety (EMFS) agency, includes theory and practical components. It gives fire and police investigators a few extra tools in their tool box when it comes to investigating explosions that really can happen in almost any situation, said Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin.

Austin said the first module of the course was mostly theory-based and covered the science of explosions, including chemical formulas and chain reactions that

cause an explosion to happen.

Explosions don’t often make up a lot of calls but there is always the potential for explosions on a monthly basis, said Austin.

“Every propane tank on a barbecue or gas tank in a car that is on fire has the potential of exploding. It doesn’t always have to be the natural gas in the basement or the grain in the processing plant,” said Austin.

“It could be something that is really insignificant but can cause a pretty big explosion and a lot of damage.”

Austin experienced this first hand at a recent call at a salvage yard in Martensville where as many as 20 explosions were happening simultaneously.

“Some of them were exploding tires and compressed gas inside the vehicles when they combusted.

There were also fuel tanks

and a very large propane tank we were very concerned about, which didn’t blow up but could have,” said Austin.

Although the course is not mandatory for fire and police professionals, Austin said the advantage of taking the course is the wealth of knowledge available from highly-trained guest speakers.

Some of these people include officials from Manitoba’s Fire Marshall’s office, National Fire Protection As-

sociation members, former RMCP fire investigators and provincial deputy fire commissioners.

Austin said most fire fighters take fire science and behavour courses during their training but these courses are a couple of steps above.

He said all of the 24 police and fire professionals that attended the course have conducted investigations involving explosions at some point in their career.

The Fire and Investigators Course is taught once every

five years.

Austin said some of the biggest differences he has noticed in investigating explosions are the standards, techniques and technology.

“There are things like gas detectors that can detect certain gases left over after combustion. They (EMFS) put a lot of money into the study of patterns and similarities. Someone has actually gone and aggregated all that information. Now with the Internet age you can access those resources on

your phone,” said Austin.

The Warman fire hall has hosted numerous recertification courses, emergency management courses and 26 different modules of fire fighting courses, which is a great thing for the City of Warman, said Austin.

“We have our new training grounds so there is a chance the third segment of this course could be taught here. Warman is a community that has quality equipment and facilities,” said Austin.

Clutch hitting gives Dogs another win

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The Delisle Diamond Dogs’ clutch hitting helped mount an impressive 11-8 comeback win over the Bruno Sr. Merchants on Wednesday, June 10 at Gordie Howe Park.

The Diamond Dogs currently sit in second place in the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association’s Keith McLean Division; and are one game behind the division-leading Saskatoon Sr. Diamondbacks.

In Wednesday’s game the Merchants didn’t waste any time getting on the scoreboard when pitcher Justin Dauvin smashed a threerun homer over the centrefield wall.

The team added two more runs to take a 5-0 lead in the opening inning.

The Diamond Dogs didn’t get discouraged in their turn at bat. At the bottom of the first the team scored three runs on five hits to close the gap to two.

In the third inning the Merchants widened the scoring gap by one, which was helped by the team’s other pitcher, Keenan Tarnowski in the fourth inning.

Tarnowski scored the Merchants’ second home run of the game, giving them a commanding 7-3 advantage at the midway point.

Defence took over for both teams in the fifth inning as neither team managed to score runs. But all that would change for Delisle in the bottom of the sixth when Brody Busby drove in a three-run homer. The team also added another run to take a slim 8-7 lead.

The Merchants tried to get on base in the top of the seventh, but closer Brian Newton, who replaced Ryan Olde in the fifth inning, shut Bruno down.

The Diamond Dogs added a little salt in the wound in the bottom of the seventh when catcher Curt Adair cracked the ball down the right field line to drive in two runs to end the game 11-8.

Diamond Dogs center fielder Shawn Colborn said his team has some great hitters who dug deep to pull off the win. “It was nice to come back at the bottom of the sixth and seventh and win it. We have great hitters in the lineup who happened to get some clutch hitting at the right time,” said Colborn.

Colborn said players Curt Adair, Brody Busby and newcomer Chad Bozak have been on fire lately, which has been helpful with the team currently battling injuries.

“We are where we expected we would be at this point in the season. Everyone is a little banged up, which is normal this time of year.

Every team has a few injuries, including us,” said Colborn. In order to compensate for gaps in the lineup during Wednesday’s game the Diamond Dogs called up bantam player Clayton Mackenzie to play third base and midget player Oakley Durham to cover second.

Colborn said Oakley is a nephew of Dogs first baseman Jeff Durham.

“It is always a thrill to have local up and comers in the lineup,” said Colborn.

“Oakley plays second division men’s and has been our bat boy since he has been on the team. . One of the things we try to do is grow the game in our town and both these kids did a great job.”

The Diamond Dogs host two ISF World Men’s exhibition games in Delisle against New Zealand and Great Britain on June 24, 25.

Diamond Dogs second baseman Oakley Durham got the opportunity to play with family on Wednesday, June 10, helping the team mount a 11-8 comeback win over the Bruno Sr Merchants JAMES TARRANT | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

vessels can be a key factor in the development of atherosclerosis and CAD. You also have to remember that one high reading does not necessarily mean a person has high blood pressure. However, if readings continue to remain high with the systolic at 140 (or higher) or diastolic at 90 (or higher) over several days of repeated measurements, a treatment needs to be prescribed. On another note, children can also develop high blood pressure, particularly if they are overweight or obese.

(3) Smoking........Tobacco use and sustained exposure to 2nd hand and 3rd hand smoke increases the risk of CAD. Why this happens is that when you are constantly exposed smoking damages the endothelial lining of blood vessels, increasing the risk of fatty plaque buildup. Nicotine from tobacco also causes the heart rate to accelerate, leading to hypertension with chronic tobacco use.

Riders’ pre-season game includes surprises

WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Pre-season pro football games are generally, in a word, weird.

And the inaugural Northern Kickoff in Fort McMurray on Saturday night between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton Eskimos really was no different. In a way, it was weirder than most.

Don’t get me wrong – travelling to the northern-most game in CFL history was an absolute delight and the 100,000 locals treated it like a mini-Grey Cup! The festivities were highlighted by an attempt for a Guiness World Record for the highest-attended ribbon cutting ceremony and CFL Commissioner Jeffrey Orridge and the Grey Cup itself were on hand for the spectacle.

But once the smoke from the pregame fireworks drifted off into the Boreal Forest, we were left with a bizarre scene.

The game itself started as a snoozer, tied 0-0 after the opening quarter. However the Eskimos were ignited by rookie quarterback James Franklin in the second quarter who put his team into a 14-11 by halftime.

The wonky new CFL rules were unveiled for the first time in this game and it had many scratching their heads. Even those on the field! When the game’s first touchdown was scored (a 1-yard plunge by Franklin), all 24 players were gathered around the 5-yard line for the point after convert, huffing and puffing with their hands on their hips. Officials had to tell them to go out to the 25-yard line where the kick will now take place.

Were they not prepared

for this? Perhaps they were but you can’t fault them for old habits that were formed from the moment they began playing football.

Sophomore Roughriders quarterback Brett Smith then took his turn to shine, engineering 13 points in the third quarter to give Saskatchewan a 24-17 lead going into the fourth.

As back-and-forth games go, this one had it all and it had to have thrilled the 11,825 fans in attendance.

(3,175 short of a sellout).

The Eskimos turned up the heat in the final quarter, blitzing Rider quarterback Tino Sunseri five times on 14 plays which led to an interception and the eventual game-winning drive for Edmonton.

Game over: Edmonton 31 Saskatchewan 24 “There was some good and there was some bad in that game,” Rider coach Corey Chamblin explained afterwards. “Of course there was a lot of penalties, adjustments to the new penalties and all that. But for the most part I saw some winning football out there, I saw some losing football, and that’s what preseason is. We just have to build on that winning football and continue to grow.”

Chamblin referred to the penalties which were an eyesore for the national TV audience. Coaches general-

Warman hosting Men’s Worlds fastball games SCHOOL TRACK MEET

Athletes in grades 4-6 from Venture Heights, Valley Manor, Warman Community Middle School, Osler and Valley Christian Academy enjoyed perfect weather as they competed in their annual joint track and field meet at VCA on Friday, June 12. (Top photo) Isabella L’Heureaux of Venture Heights School gets plenty of air during her long jump attempt. (Above) Jadyn Dueck of Warman Community Middle School edges out Dawson Lennea of Valley Manor School and Brody Nelson of Venture Heights School at the finish line of the 100 metre race.

Warman’s Prairie Oasis Park will be the scene of world-class fastball next week as two International Softball Federation (ISF) Men’s World Fastball exhibition matches are slated for the facility. On Monday, June 22, the Netherlands will play Great Britain in a doubleheader, starting at 6:00 p.m. The next evening, Tuesday, June 23, Denmark will take on the Saskatoon Senior Diadmondbacks of the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association’s toptier division in a doubleheader as well. The park will have its food concession open. The price is right for the games: it’s just a toonie donation to get in. Plus there is a draw for two game tickets to the ISF World Championship tournament in Saskatoon.

ly get mad when the length of the football field is given up in penalties. However on this night the teams combined for 55 penalties for a whopping 450 yards!

(Or over four football fields).

That had to be some sort of record.

See why this night was strange?

But each team had a job to do and that was to evaluate the players they had in uniform. For the Riders, that was 77 while the Eskimos dressed 65. Chamblin was asked how and when he planned to make his first wave of cuts.

“Well the first thing is I’m gonna get some sleep!”

Chamblin huffed, referring to the team’s hectic schedule of late. “Then I’ll sit with the coaches and get their

grades. A lot of guys did a lot of good things but we have to trim the roster.”

And trim they did, releasing 11 players on Sunday night and reassigning four more to their university or junior football programs.

Of the 11 who were cut adrift, three were veterans including Tino Sunseri who didn’t take long to edit his Twitter profile correcting his years in Saskatchewan and putting up a profile pic of his college days at Pittsburgh. Linebacker Joash Gesse and defensive end Ryan Wellman were the other veterans let go as the team headed into Week 3 of training camp in Saskatoon.

Not much stock could or should be put into the overall team’s performance in Fort McMurray because it simply wasn’t a normal game.

However things will get a little more real in Friday’s preseason finale when the Roughriders host the Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders at Mosaic Stadium at 7:30 pm (TSN, CKRM Rider Radio Network).

Valley United’s U14 boys extend winning streak

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The Valley United Soccer Club (VUSC) U14 Division II boys soccer team extended their winning streak to eight games with a 2-1 win over Hollandia in Saskatoon Youth Soccer action on Tuesday, June 9.

It was the second meeting between the two clubs and with only four games left in league play head coach Garry Crampton said the team is coming together very well.

“They are taking hold of what we are asking them to do. Sometimes it goes okay and other times not but they are definitely coming together as a team and getting to where we want them to play,” said Crampton.

In the opening half VUSC played mostly on the defensive side of the ball but still managed to get on the score sheet. Harry Crampton fired a high shot just outside the 18 yard box which grazed the fingertips and fell behind Hollandia’s goalkeeper to give VUSC a 1-0 lead.

Hollandia answered back minutes later on an identical goal, which ended the first half in a 1-1 draw.

Crampton said in the first half his team was a little out of their comfort zone by playing a different formation using three of their midfielders.

He said in the second half they went with four across the middle, which gave his team a better attack up front to counter Hollandia’s stin-

gy defence.

The change surely made a difference in the second half, which was complemented by VUSC’s Josh Martens’ ability to carry the ball on the attack.

Martens had about five shots on net throughout the game, including a redirection on a corner kick shot that sailed over the cross bar. Midway through the second half Martens made no mistake on a lead off pass he shot inside the right post, which gave his team the game winning goal to end the game 2-1.

Leading up to the final whistle VUSC forwards relentlessly attacked the net, shooting the ball from the left, right and middle points on the pitch. The only differ-

ence was Hollandia’s goalkeeper, who made more than a few highlight reel stops to keep his team in the game.

In their eight games VUSC also executed solid defence, giving up only two goals in each game. Crampton said VUSC will work on improving ball possession for their four remaining games of the season. He said he is hopeful his team will play well in the provincial tournament, which will see VUSC compete against tough competition against Lloydminister and Regina.

VUSC will be competing in the Hollandia Cup Soccer Tournament June 19-21.

Dalmeny Days 2015

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

A bagpiper with the Canadian Highlanders 96th Battalion pipe and drum band participates in the Dalmeny Days parade, which took place on a sunny morning on Saturday, June 13. Seniors blew bubbles from their float, the Dalmeny High School football team threw the occasional ball to bystanders, young future baseball stars tossed sweet treats to the kids and some garden plants (possibly an herb) were hand delivered. Not to be outdone, a dozen horses left a few droppings as well. The colourful parade typically completes two laps over the route, and it appeared everyone was content to wait for the second round. Hey, more candy. What’s not to like? MORE DALMENY DAYS PHOTOS ON PAGE 15

P3 schools design-build partnerships unveiled by province Joint-use elementary schools in Martensville, Warman and Saskatoon are one step closer to construction with the selection of the P3 projects’ private sector partners.

Joint Use Mutual Partnership (JUMP) has been selected as the P3 team that will deliver nine new joint-use elementary schools that will be built in Saskatchewan by September 2017. Construction of the schools is expected to begin this summer.

Once complete, this will be the largest new schools project in Saskatchewan’s history and will create more than 2,000 jobs in the province.

“Today is an exciting day for education in Saskatchewan as we now move one step closer to starting construction and providing students, early learners and teachers with safe, comfortable and state-of-the-art schools and child care centres,” Education Minister Don Morgan said at a press conference in Saskatoon on Monday, June 15. “Students, teachers, parents, school divisions and communities have been great partners and will continue to play an important role in helping students at these new schools achieve success.”

Representatives of Saskatoon and Prairie Spirit School Divisions, as well as Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence, were at the an-

nouncement on June 15.

The nine schools will accommodate more than 11,000 students from Pre-kindergarten to Grade 8 in both the public system and the Catholic system at full design capacity.

Each joint-use school will also contain a 90-space child care centre as well as community space. Joint-use schools are co-located so that they share a roof and spaces such as gymnasiums, multipurpose rooms, community resource centres, and child care spaces.

The Martensville school will be built in the Lake Vista neighbourhood while the Warman school is slated to be built in the Traditions neighbourhood.

“Building nine joint-use schools by the fall of 2017 is a major undertaking that could not have been achieved through a conventional approach,” SaskBuilds Minister Gordon Wyant said. “Getting these schools built on schedule and cost effectively in some of the fastest-growing communities is a priority for our government and the P3 model will achieve this ontime and on-budget.”

JUMP was selected to deliver two bundles of schools (three joint-use schools in Regina, and six joint-use schools in Saskatoon, Martensville and Warman) after successfully completing a two-staged

transparent procurement process that consists of a Request for Qualifications and a Request for Proposals. JUMP includes the following partners as one integrated team: * Concert Infrastructure Ltd. * Bird Capital Limited Partnerships/Bird Design-Build Construction Inc. * Wright Construction Western Inc. * Kindrachuck Agrey Architecture * Johnson Controls Canada LP * GEC Architecture The Saskatchewan NDP has previously criticized the government’s plan to use a massive, bundled P3 to have private corporations build and operate schools in Saskatchewan. Now, with the government just about to sign the contract and evidence from other jurisdictions’ bad P3 experiences piling up, the Opposition says it’s urgent that the plan changes before the province is locked in to a 30-year bad deal.

“Instead of awarding a private conglomerate from another province or country a lucrative deal to build and manage our children’s schools for the next 30 years, let’s learn from other provinces and just do this the straightforward way,” said NDP deputy leader Trent Wotherspoon. “If we decide to own and maintain our schools ourselves – as we al-

ways have – we save money, we get building immediately and our communities will get all the access to the schools they’ve always had.”

Contract negotiations will now begin with the intent to finalize terms by late-summer 2015. The contract’s financial details will be disclosed once contract ne-

gotiations and signing are complete at financial close.

Releasing this information sooner could harm the province’s negotiating position.

The value for money report will be based on the final agreement and released at the earliest opportunity following financial close.

SaskBuilds and its exter-

nal financial advisors determined there was value for money delivering the project using a P3 model.

The province says there is value for money when the cost of delivering a project using a P3 model is less than the cost of delivering the same project using a traditional approach.

Support staff reassigned

in the upcoming PSSD budget: one in Clavet Composite School and one in Rosthern Elementary School. Clavet currently has two vice-principal positions, and will be down to a single viceprincipal. The other vice-principal position at Clavet is being reassigned to a teacher position, with the administrative workload reassigned. The single vice-principal position at Rosthern Elementary School is being eliminated.

One of the PSSD’s two early learning support staff positions will be eliminated. Kuzbik said the workload will be increased for the remaining early learning support staff member. This will also mean increased driving time to schools scattered throughout the division.

“In effect, the time that can be spent in each school will be cut in half,” he said.

Similarly, reductions in school division central office support for English as an Additional Language (EAL) students will eventually be felt across the division, said Kuzbik.

“We have a lot of new students from many other countries,” said Kuzbik. “This means the schools are going to have less language support from the division office. This may work for a year or two but three or four years down the road we could see a negative impact.”

Kuzbik said there is an increase in EAL services across the division, not just in larger schools in Warman and Martensville.

“Rosthern actually has a lot of refugees,” he said. “That’s a good example of a smaller school with a lot of EAL needs.”

The board of education is also committed to reducing expenses, and that is reflected in the new budget, he said.

Jazz it up

Warman musician makes debut at Saskatchewan Jazz Festival

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca When Graham Dyck was growing up in Delisle, one of the rules in the household was that if he played a sport, he also had to play an instrument.

So he learned to read music and got pretty comfortable around the family piano. Along the way, he discovered a brand of music that otherwise he might have missed.

“I remember learning to play the theme from ‘The Pink Panther’ when I was a kid,” said Dyck, who now makes his home in Warman. “It was a kind of jazzy, swing number that I really liked. It was also the only song that, when I played it, my mom would poke her head around the corner and say ‘you play that really well.’ But I wasn’t playing it for her approval. I played it because it was fun and it was different.”

Decades later, Dyck is taking that love of jazz and swing to a whole new level by making his solo debut at the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival. It’s not the main stage, but it’s still a pretty sweet gig.

Dyck is slated to do a 90-minute set at the PotashCorp Club Jazz Festival free stage in Friendship Park on the west bank of the South Saskatchewan River on Saturday, July 4 at 2:00 p.m.

He’s also a featured vocalist with the Toon Town Big Band, which does the set immediately before his own, starting at 12 noon.

And as if that wasn’t enough for one day, he’s playing that night with the

Maurice Drouin orchestra at the Bassment. Drouin’s show, “That’s Life” brings familiar standards of the bygone Las Vegas era made famous by such musical heavy-weights as Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett.

Other vocalists joining Dyck on stage are Jacklyn Smith, Grant Currie and Tatrina Tai. “Yeah, I guess you could say I’m pretty excited,” said Dyck in an interview at his home recently. “Music is a real passion for me. I love being on stage and connecting with people in the audience. I’m just starting to really find my own path when it comes to music, doing more arranging and writing my own stuff as well as doing covers of old standards.”

Four years ago, music was strictly a sideline for Dyck.

“It was a nice way to put in time,” said Dyck.

“Then one weekend I sang at a friend’s wedding; I did a Michael Buble song with a CD backing. The bride’s grandfather, who’s worked in radio in Vancouver all his life, came up to me and asked: ‘Are you the entertainment?’ I said no. He said, ‘well, why aren’t you?’

So after that I thought I might just give it a try. I started pushing myself to get better and learn more and take it seriously.”

He won a contest on CBC Radio and performed live from inside the Bessborough Hotel. After that, he played more gigs and got hooked up with the pool of talented musicians in Saskatoon, including Maurice Drouin.

“That guy is amazing,” said Dyck. “He’s got so much

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Graham Dyck of Warman is slated to perform two sets on Saturday, July 4 at the Jazz Festvial’s Free Stage in Friendship Park, and that evening is on the bill at The Bassment with Maurice Drouin’s band. talent. I asked him to teach me to play the piano like he does, and he said, ‘I can’t.’

It’s all pure talent with him.

He doesn’t even read music but he can pick up the key and run with it like nobody else.”

In 2012, Dyck released his first CD, entitled “Just for You”, and he has a new album currently in the works.

He’s played numerous venues across the province ranging from gala fundraisers to seniors care homes.

Dyck finds time for music between shifts as a paramedic at the Allan potash mine and stints as a paramedic in Lac la Ronge working with SaskPower.

He also has training as a professional firefighter and is a former member of the Delisle Fire Department.

Hepburn Great Strides Walk raises funds

By BARB GINTHER brukes@hotmail.com The second annual Great Strides Walk in Hepburn oon Sunday, May 31 attracted about 50 participants and raised an amazing $3,625 for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) research.

I was overwhelmed with the number of people who came out to the event.

As someone who has lived with CF for many decades, it is always extremely emotional for me when so many show their support for a cause that affects me and my family daily.

I have been so blessed with a long healthy life at the age of 53, even though there have some challenges

RCMP detachment prepares for changes in personnel in coming weeks

formance plan every year.

This plan lays out the priorities, goals and strategies that make up the foundation for the detachment’s schedule.

“The overall goal is to be proactive and prevent problems from occurring,” said Weber. “With that in mind we are boosting our community presence in a number of ways.

One RCMP officer is tasked as the detachment’s school liaison officer, and Weber said the schools have provided significant positive feedback. The community threat assessment protocol in place at the schools is aimed at identifying students at risk of posing a threat to themselves or other students, and facilitating meetings between all parties to find solutions, said Weber.

Last year, the RCMP detachment conducted 448 traffic enforcement stops throughout the year. A total of 91 impaired drivers were picked up at those blockades.

The police conducted a total of 329 checks at licensed premises in several communities.

“Having periodic officer presence is important,” said Weber. “Patrons are less likely to drink and drive when they see police officers walking through the bar from time to time. We’ll be stepping up those efforts

this year.”

The launch of the Victims Services branch earlier this year fills a big gap in the provincial victim services picture, said Weber. He noted that currently the service is provided only to residents of Martensville and Warman, but once a full staff complement is achieved at the Martensville office, the service will be offered to all residents from Kindersley to Humboldt, cov-

ering 11 detachment areas.

Weber said an increased police presence at both the Warman Rodeo and Martensville Buster Days celebrations resulted in a relatively quiet weekend. Officers from the Saskatoon detachment were called in to reinforce the Warman detachment for the occasion, he said. He noted that private security personnel at several licensed premises also was beneficial.

Martensville’s Newest Lake Community

Rally in support of Prairie Spirit School Division set for Martensville

Report from the

Legislature

Nancy Heppner MLA MARTENSVILLE CONSTITUENCY

When our Saskatchewan Party government was elected in 2007, our vision was to make Saskatchewan the best place in Canada to live, work, and raise a family.

Together, with the people of this province, we have worked to improve every sector including, highways, healthcare, housing and education. We set policies in place to encourage job creation, and reduce taxation, so that people would see Saskatchewan as an attractive place to move to, rather than from.

There is still more work to do, but looking back at the last seven years, it is clear that this vision has succeeded in creating the most attractive province in Canada.

In fact, if we compare this record to the previous seven years, there are stark contrasts. Some examples are: Population 2000-2007 – Saskatchewan’s population dropped by 5,500 people. Student enrollment was declining.

2007-2014 – Saskatchewan’s population grew by 137,000.

There are sharp increases in student enrollment.

Taxation 2000-2007 – Personal income tax increases meant a family of four with $50,000 combined income paid $2,302 in 2007.

2007-2014 – A family of four with $50,000 combined income in 2014 will pay just $166 in provincial income tax. This is a $14,000 savings over 7 years.

Job Creation 2001-2007 – Saskatchewan held the worst job creation record in Canada.

2007-2014 – Saskatchewan has had the strongest rate of employment growth and the lowest unemployment rate in the country. Overall employment since 2007 is up 70,400. We continue to hold the lowest unemployment rate in Canada.

Health Care 2000-2007 – Surgical wait lists were the longest in Canada as result of hospital closures and a shortage of doctors and nurses.

2007-2014 – The number of people waiting more than three months for surgery is down 81%. Saskatchewan has 423 more doctors, and 2,600 more nurses. In addition to the new Saskatchewan Children’s Hospital, new and renewed hospital projects include Moose Jaw, the Battlefords and Prince Albert. 15 new longterm care facilities have been built.

“After I came to, I realized I was pinned inside my truck. There was someone outside my window assuring me that help was on the way,” recalls John of that fateful day.

John was returning home to Weyburn via Highway 33. The roads had started getting slick and icy. Another vehicle lost control on the ice and was heading straight at him. John swerved to avoid a collision. “I remember thinking it was too late,” says John, as the vehicle slammed into his.

“When I gained consciousness, I was being loaded up into the STARS helicopter. I thought since I’m leaving the scene of an accident in a helicopter, things must be serious.” By the time he reached the Regina General Hospital he had lost a lot of blood — his injuries were extensive.

Through three surgeries, a multitude of steel plates and screws were installed in his left arm, right wrist, and left leg and ankle. “There was talk of amputation, and if I had not been brought to the hospital quickly by STARS, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my leg,” says John.

“STARS is very important in Saskatchewan as it is a rural province, and for some, the hospitals are several hours away by ground ambulance,” John states. “We all need to step up and contribute to keep STARS flying.”

Corman Park development helps fund renovations to Neuhorst Hall

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The community hall in one of the region’s oldest settlements has a new lease on life, thanks to recent renovations.

The Hamlet of Neuhorst near Osler, on the northern edge of the RM of Corman Park, was established by Mennonite settlers in 1898. The community hall was built by volunteers in the late 1970s. A few years ago, volunteers began raising funds locally to fix the building.

But earlier this year, their efforts got a huge boost when the RM of Corman Park council allocated about $13,862 from the Municipal Reserve Fund (MRF) to pay for upgrades to both the community hall and the outdoor rink shack.

“It’s made a huge difference,” said Ron Harms, chair of the Hamlet of Neuhorst board and a member of the volunteer committee that operates the hall. “This has always been a busy place, but now it’s busier than ever.”

The hall now has new flooring and baseboards, new washroom fixtures, fresh paint, and a new kitchen area. The latest improvements are in addition to previous upgrades including new shingles. The outdoor rink shack is also being renovated.

Neuhorst hamlet board secretary Carol Friesen credits Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood and Division 6 councilor Bas Froese-Kooijenga with shepherding the MRF funding proposal through council for the project.

“Corman Park has been really good about making sure communities realize these funds exist and what they’re intended for,” said Friesen. “This is exactly what the money is for, improving public facilities to improve everyone’s quality of life.

“This is like a new hall now, and it’s really sparked a sense of pride for everyone in the community.”

Harwood said the boom in development in Corman Park is paying dividends to residents through the MRF. “When people see development, they should say: ‘good show, that money is going into the municipal reserve fund for projects like this,” said Harwood. “Every penny is accounted for, but it’s up to the community members to decide where it will be put to best use. These funds are 100% generated by subdivision, and are in no way connected to the municipal taxation rate.”

Harwood said the RM council actively encourages communities to apply for MRF funding for specific projects.

“That’s what it’s there for,” she said. “We can’t spend those funds on roads, even though we’d like to. These funds are provincially-mandated and they have to be used for specific purposes like this.”

The Corman Park MRF currently has a balance of about $650,000. These provincially-mandated funds accrue to the RM as a result of subdivision of properties for the purpose of residential, commercial, or industrial uses. Subdivisions are required to provide a dedication of land, or cash in lieu of land, to the governing municipality where such development takes place. These lands or

funds are intended to provide for public facilities, including community halls, recreational facilities, schools, and parks.

Within the past six months, Corman Park has allocated MRF funds to several projects in various communities, including Langham ($20,000 toward the Langham Centennial Arena and $62,000 toward the Langham Curling Rink) and Dalmeny ($50,000 for the JJ Loewen Centre), Osler (paddling pool and fire hall), Warman (Legends Centre), Martensville (Aquatic Centre and Community Centre). Since 1983, Corman Park has invested almost $1 million in MRF funds into a variety of facilities within the RM and urban centres.

Harwood said the facilities in towns and villages are used by RM residents, and that’s one of the reasons they earmark funds in those municipalities. But community halls in hamlets are equally important, she noted.

“Last weekend I was out to an event at the Merrill Hills School, which is a community hall in the Merrill Hills district south of Saskatoon that was a one-room school in the old days,” said Harwood. “We provided funds to that group, and they put in new washrooms and windows and new flooring. That centre is being used for many events, including rural crime watch meetings. People from the City of Saskatoon rent that facility quite often.”

Hamlets that have benefited from MRF funds include South Corman Park (Log Cabin), Cedar Villa, Bergheim Community Hall, and Floral Community Hall. Harwood said residents are encouraged to contact the RM office to inquire about MRF application forms for worthwhile projects.
