Responsibility for old Highway 305 transferred to RM of Corman Park

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Responsibility for maintenance of old Highway 305 is being transferred from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) to the RM of Corman Park.

The RM will also take over responsibility for service roads that run parallel to Highway 12.

The agreement for the transfer was presented to a Corman Park council meeting on Monday, June 15.

The RM has been in conversation with MHI regarding reconstruction of Highway 305 between Highway 11 and Highway 12. The RM raised concerns about safety and the current condition of the roads.

“What the Ministry has asked for is support from the RM. The RM originally agreed back in 2011

and 2012 to take ownership of sections of the old 305 that is no longer going to be used as a provincial highway, and also to take ownership of the service roads that have been created to provide those access points,” said Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore.

The roads covered in the agreement include: Range Road 3052, Warman Access (Old Highway 305 East), Range Road 3053 (Old Highway 305 West), Old Highway 305 south of the CN Railway tracks, Highway 305 South Service Road, Highway 12 West and East Service Roads, Range Road 3053 (10th Avenue in Martensville), Range Road 3045 (extension to the new intersection), acreage roads north and south that tie in to the Old Highway 305 and

new Highway 305, and access roads east and west from the old Highway 305 service road.

However, the agreement hinges on surface and overlay repairs the province needs to complete to the range, access and acreage roads in the agreement.

In a letter sent to RM Administration from Scott Tivy, Senior Project Manager with MHI, work on roadways identified as gravel surface is complete.

Tivy stated that the remaining dust-free portion of the old Highway 305 and the East Highway 12 service road will receive spot repairs and at a minimum 30 mm of asphalt concrete overlay prior to the jurisdictional transfer.

Tittemore said the overlay work should take about two months to complete.

RM to unveil new website this fall

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The RM of Corman Park website will have a brand new look when it is unveiled this fall.

The current website has been in operation for ten years and both administration and council felt an update was needed.

Adam Tittemore, Administrator for the RM of Corman Park said the current website is lacking in terms of interaction and its ability to get information out to ratepayers.

Tittemore stated in documents presented during a June 15 council meeting that the current website presents an editing nightmare when it comes to formatting text and objects like tables and pictures.

Other website issues include a search function that barely works, poor navigation for mobile devices and not enough

space, said Tittemore.

The total storage space available on the website is 2GB, which is not a lot when you consider council agenda packages are 50 MB and council audio uploads are well over 300 MB. Last year Tittemore said administration maxed-out at 1GB of website space and had to get it raised in order to add more documents.

The RM currently uses Microsoft Skydrive, a third party program, to upload documents and audio files.

During the June 15 council meeting a motion was passed to award the redesign of Corman Park’s website to CivicPlus at a cost of $18,500 over a four year payment plan.

The company is responsible for designing the Cities of Warman and Martensville websites.

Tittemore said the new website will include more form pages for ratepayers

and developers to submit documents electronically.

An example would be if a ratepayer or developer wants to apply for a permit, they can do so through the new website.

Tittemore said the RM does not plan to pursue a mobile app, but said that a new RM logo design could also be in the works.

“We are looking at having logo consultants present some ideas to council,” said Tittemore. “Our intent then would be to incorporate that into the new website if council decides to go in that direction.”

Tittemore said administration will be meeting with CivicPlus in a couple of weeks to formalize the agreement and get started on the new design.

The key reason behind the RM’s website redesign is to improve flexibility for ratepayers and developers, said Tittemore.

Ministry chooses Highway 305 for overpass

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The provincial Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) is recommending construction of an overpass for Warman at the intersection of Highways 11 and 305, at the city’s north end.

The recommendation was unveiled at an open house in Warman on Tuesday, June 23.

“This is the preferred option, based on the evaluation process we have gone through,” said Steve Shaheen, a senior MHI communications spokesperson. “From the ministry’s perspective, it ties in nicely with the current highway network; and from the community’s perspective, it’s the safest option and will allow traffic to flow easily in and out of the community.”

The overpass is one of two interchange projects announced earlier this year by the provincial government. The other overpass is to be located on Highway 12

A schematic diagram by ISL Engineering illustrates the preferred location of an overpass at the intersection of Highway 11 and Highway 305 at the north end of Warman at Martensville’s main entrance. Its location and preliminary design were also unveiled at the open house in Warman June 23 and a second open house in Martensville on Wednesday,

June 24.

safety, cost factors

The preferred location for the Highway 11 overpass was chosen after the ministry received feedback from

residents, businesses, landowners, Warman city council and administration, and the business community, said Shaheen.

“In addition to cost and safety aspects, the other

benefits to this location are that we don’t have to move any utilities such as natural gas lines; there are fewer landowners that will be potentially impacted, and during the construction process

traffic will not be disrupted as much. We’re still going to have a free flow of traffic along Highway 11 and into and out of Warman until the CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

New interchange will make commute easier, says mayor

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Commuters will find it easier to get in and out of Martensville once the new Highway 12 overpass is completed, according to Martensville Mayor Kent Muench.

Muench said increased safety is the biggest benefit to the community, but ease of access to the highway is also welcome.

“The key piece for us is that we’re getting an overpass,” said Muench in an interview on Wednesday, June 24, following the first of two open houses staged by the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) on

the locations and designs of highway interchanges for Martensville and Warman.

“We’ve been pressing the government for an overpass for many years. This is going to make a big difference for everyone.”

Muench said the overpass design suggested by MHI is very similar to the initial set of designs put forward at an open house several weeks ago.

“It’s based on what we saw earlier,” said Muench.

“But instead of having two options, now there is really just one, which is the one MHI is recommending.

Perimeter highway study released Area residents receive

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure unveiled proposed routes for the “Saskatoon South Perimeter Freeway” during an open house at the German Cultural Centre in the RM of Corman Park on Wednesday, June 25.

The purpose of the open house was to gain feedback from local residents on what the southern portion of the Perimeter Highway should look like.

Associated Engineering commissioned the study. During the open house the company provided a map with four southeast route possibilities.

The southeast route will extend from Highway 5 to Highway 16 and Highway 11, but the southwest portion between Highway 7 and 14 is really still up in the air.

Maps of the proposed routes are available online at www.highways. gov.sk.ca/Saskatoon _ Freeway .

MHI Communications officer Steve Shaheen said the southeast route is the next important piece of the perimeter highway However, he said the ministry is still in the process of determining whether the new highway will completely or partially circle the city of Saskatoon. The sticking point for the southwest portion of the proposed highway is finding a suitable crossing point over the South Saskatchewan River. Possible routes would have to be developed through a flood plain.

While the southeast portion of the Perimeter Highway could be 25 to 50 years down the road, the southwest portion of the perimeter highway could be 100 years away.

It is important to protect lands now so we don’t deal with issues

down the road, said Shaheen.

“We don’t know what is going to happen. We don’t have a crystal ball where we can determine how the City of Saskatoon will grow so what we are doing is protecting those lands now so then people know where the development is and they can proceed with development,” said Shaheen. “It might be determined that there is no need for the southwest route.”

Shaheen said the feedback gathered from the public meeting will be part of a report released this fall.

“We have to start somewhere and through the study completed by Associated Engineering. It could be one route or a combination. It is more or less to determine how close to the city or further away we need to go and to provide that linkage to Highway 11,” said Shaheen.

Two residents of the region were among the volunteers honoured at the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) annual meeting in North Battleford June 17-19.

The SHSAA wrapped up the activities for the 2014-2015 school year at the meeting and recognized individuals for their dedication to the student athletes of our province. The SHSAA also honored retiring executive members and elected new members to the executive council.

During the past year almost 40,000 students participated in interschool activities at the senior high school level. The SHSAA recognized 199 individual and team provincial champions in the 10 activities offered to the student athletes of the 375 high schools across the province that comprises the SHSAA.

Hwy. 11 overpass to be built at Hwy. 305 intersection

project is completed and open.”

Shaheen said the final decision on the location, design and budget for the interchange will be made in the near future by MHI officials. He said feedback from the open house will be taken into account before a final decision is made.

CENTRAL UNCHANGED

According to engineers with ISL Engineering, the consulting firm which prepared the preliminary drawings for the proposed interchange, the current intersection at Highway 11 and Central Street will not be changed.

At the present time, there are no plans to close the intersection or make it a right-only access to and from the highway, confirmed one of the ISL engineers at the open house.

However, he said traffic pat-

terns will be continually monitored to determine if changes to the intersection will be needed in the future.

Warman city councilor Gary Philipchuk, chair of the council’s transportation committee, said he looks forward to the completion of the interchange.

“We realize this will be truly beneficial to the planned commercial development site at the intersection of Centennial Boulevard and the new Highway 305,” said Philipchuk.

“Most of our traffic will be heading up in that area. I’m sure it will be a catalyst to spur that development because now traffic will have an easy way of getting into and out of that area.”

Philipchuk said the new interchange will impact traffic patterns within the city, putting increased pressure on Centennial Boule-

vard and other north-south arterial roads. But in the long run, he noted, it will encourage growth.

Warman city councilor Richard Beck said he had hoped to see at least two options so council and residents could weigh the costs and benefits of different locations.

“Council was hoping to see two alternatives,” said Beck. “One for Central Street and one for Highway 305. What we’re getting is one recommendation coming forward: the one for Highway 305.”

Warman city councilor Zane Dmytryshyn also expressed concern about the future of the intersection of Central Street and Highway 11.

“If there are no changes to the intersection then we’ll continue to see collisions at that location,” said Dmytryshyn. “The fact that

there is a safer alternative entrance into Warman further north may cut down on the number of people using the Central Street intersection, but it won’t eliminate the basic problem.”

Dmytryshyn said he’s not opposed to having the overpass at the new Highway 305. “I don’t necessarily oppose that location, because that’s where a lot of future growth will be in that direction. However, we have to think about the rest of the city, and the potential negative impact on Central Street businesses and residents in that area if the Central Street intersection with Highway 11 is closed or altered sometime in the future.”

CONSTRUCTION SOON

Zev Lazic, executive director of major projects with MHI, said both the Warman and Martensville

Continued from page 3

Martensville commuters should have safer access in and out of city

“One significant change is that a new ‘slip ramp’ is suggested that connects Highway 12 with the intersection of Centennial Drive and 4th Street South.”

Muench said he’s heard mixed feedback from residents about the slip ramp proposal, but it appears that most residents are in favour of the option.

“There are some people who are worried about a big increase in traffic on 4th Street,” said Muench. “But

we’re embarking on a threeyear program, starting this year, to rebuild that street.

We’re starting at the east end and working our way west; incorporating various traffic calming structures like pinch points into the design.”

Muench said the city is currently doing a traffic study to determine current and future traffic patterns, so firming up the highway overpass design is helpful.

He said another bene-

fit from the new overpass is there will be additional space created on Centennial Drive for southbound traffic looking to turn west onto Highway 12.

Steve Shaheen, a senior communications officer with MHI, said the overpass design is designed to minimize conflicts with existing underground utilities, and also to reduce traffic disruption during the construction period.

Shaheen said it is unclear

at this point whether the speed limit on Highway 12 will be bumped back up to 110 kilometers per hour after the overpass is completed and in operation. Currently the speed limit near Martensville is 90 kilometers per hour.

“That will be a decision that will have to be made in the future,” he said.

Preliminary construction work on the overpass is expected to begin as early as this fall.

Highway 7 passing lanes nearing completion

Kelly Block, Member of Parliament for Saskatoon— Rosetown—Biggar, was joined on Friday, June 26

by Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner and Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter, to announce that new passing lanes on Highway 7 between Delisle and Rosetown are nearing completion.

“Our government’s support for public infrastructure has never been stronger,” said Block. “We are pleased to work with the Province of Saskatchewan to approve projects under the New Building Canada Fund, to ensure that infrastructure funding continues to flow in Saskatchewan as we focus on creating jobs, promoting growth, and building strong, prosperous communities across Canada. Canadians rely on having safe and secure road networks to get them to work, to school and to their many other daily activities and we are proud to have invested in the Highway 7 passing lanes project between Delisle and Rosetown, which will benefit all travellers passing through this corridor.”

“Investing in infrastructure that meets the increased demands of a diversified economy and growing population is a priority for our government,” Heppner

said. “These passing lanes increase traffic capacity on the highway and improve safety by providing additional opportunities to pass.”

“Traffic volumes continue to increase on this busy interprovincial route, which connects Saskatoon and Calgary, and the passing lanes will improve safety and efficiency for shippers, commuters and all other motorists,” Reiter said.

When officially opened in coming weeks, four new sets of passing lanes spanning a total of 16 kilometres will provide highway travellers with more opportunities to safely pass and improve traffic flow.

Highway 7 users will also benefit from additional major safety improvements: * About 25 kilometres of highway is being twinned between Saskatoon and Delisle. The Government of Canada is funding half of the eligible costs of the project to a maximum of $32 million. Work could be completed as soon as fall 2018.

The balance of the project costs are being funded by the Government of Saskatchewan. * The Government of Saskatchewan is also investing $2.8 million to repave about 30 kilometres of Highway 7 near Harris and recently completed a $3.1 million paving project east of Vanscoy.

Passing lanes allow vehi-

cles to pass slower vehicles travelling in the right hand lane without having to cross into opposing traffic. Yellow signs will alert drivers 300 metres before the end of the passing lane to let drivers begin to merge back into the left hand lane. Motorists will still need to watch for vehicles changing lanes and merging traffic at the end of the passing lane.

The New Building Canada Plan is the largest and longest federal infrastructure plan in Canada’s history.

This unprecedented commitment is providing $53 billion to support provincial, territorial and municipal infrastructure, between 2014 and 2024.

Over this ten year period, Saskatchewan will benefit from more than $1 billion in dedicated federal funding, including almost $437 million under the New Building Canada Fund.

Quick Facts

The Government of Canada set aside up to 50 per cent of eligible costs, to a maximum of $3.83 million for the Highway 7 Passing Lanes project under the New Building Canada Fund’s Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component, National and Regional Projects (PTIC-NRP).

The Government of Saskatchewan will be responsible for all remaining costs

related to this project.

The total cost of the project is estimated at $8.5 million.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested a record $5.2 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008.

The $53 billion New Building Canada Plan provides stable funding for a 10 year period, and includes: The Community Improvement Fund, consisting of the Gas Tax Fund and the incremental Goods and Services Tax Rebate for Municipalities, which will provide more than $32 billion to municipalities for projects such as roads, public transit and recreational facilities, and other community infrastructure.

The $14 billion New Building Canada Fund, which consists of: The $4 billion National Infrastructure Component that will support projects of national significance; and The $10 billion Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component for projects of national, regional and local significance. Of this amount, $1 billion is for projects in communities with fewer than 100,000 residents through the Small Communities Fund.

An additional $1.25 billion in funding is for the PublicPrivate Partnerships (P3) Canada Fund.

overpass projects will be designed and built by contractors selected through a public bid process.

“We have an evaluation process and we will narrow the field of candidates down to three teams,” said Lazic in an interview at the open house June 23.

Initially a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will be issue by MHI to determine whether proponent teams are qualified to bid on the projects. Then MHI will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) which provides detailed information on technical requirements for the overpasses. Proponent teams submit their “design-build” proposals to MHI, where they are evaluated to determine if they comply with the technical requirements. The field is narrowed down to three final candidates, and they submit financial bids. The

lowest bid that meets all the requirements will then be chosen.

“This is a design-build type of project, where the phase of designing the infrastructure and the phase of building the infrastructure are combined into the procurement process,” said Lazic. “Traditionally, the ministry would first hire a consultant to design the project, and then tender documents would be sent to contractors based on that design.

“Under this process, the design activities and the build activities are all combined, so it is more flexible and efficient. If there are any flaws or cost overruns, it becomes the responsibility of the design-build team.”

It is expected that preliminary construction work on the interchange sites will begin as early as this fall.

Aboriginals deserve good financial governance

By Jordan Bateman

Canadian Taxpayers Federation

COMMENTARY

In the ongoing effort to bring transparency and accountability to Canada’s hundreds of aboriginal governments, the name Wayne Louie should be remembered.

Wayne is a member of the Lower Kootenay Band, a First Nation of 235 people, half of whom live on a reserve near Creston, B.C. In 2009, the band was paid $125,000 by the taxpayers of the Regional District of Central Kootenay for the use of a road that crosses the reserve. Flush with cash, the five-member band council secretly voted to pay themselves each a $5,000 bonus.

Two years went by before Wayne Louie discovered the payout.

Unable to simply stand idly by, Wayne took the council to court to get the money back.

For years, he pushed his case forward. As it wound its way through the court system, Wayne relied on his nephew Rob for legal help, his brother Robert to chip in for filing fees, and Access Pro Bono, a non-profit law society, to help him argue his case.

While Wayne packed a sandwich and took a 15-hour bus ride from Creston to the Vancouver courthouse, the Lower Kootenay chief flew into town and ate out on his band’s dime.

There was nothing to gain personally for Wayne; he fought for his friends and neighbours to stop his politicians from benefitting based solely on their elected positions. He did it because he felt it was the right thing to do.

Earlier this month, the B.C. Court of Appeal sided with Wayne Louie. In a landmark ruling, the court found the chief and four councilors had breached their duty to the band and ordered them to repay the money.

“This was a breach of fiduciary duty, even in the context of a relatively informal and custom-based governance structure,” wrote Justice Mary Newbury in her decision. “In my view, such a structure should not deprive members of the Band of the protection of the fiduciary principle. They were entitled to hold the defendants to the high standard to which other fiduciaries are held in this country.”

In other words, First Nation band councils should create the same rules and safeguards as other governments across Canada, a point echoed in a Mandell Pinder legal analysis of the decision: “Councils should develop financial administration and conflict of interest policies. Implementing bylaws or laws and policies to provide accountability and transparency in financial management is essential to good governance.”

The lack of accountability on many reserves is why the Canadian Taxpayers Federation worked with grassroots band members to push for the new First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA). Among other things, the law requires chiefs and councillors to disclose their pay publicly. While it has already had a positive impact on many reserves, sadly, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has promised to scrap the law; a move designed to appease chiefs who oppose disclosure.

Already, the FNFTA is opening up band decisions to the grassroots. When Kwikwetlem First Nation Chief Ron Giesbrecht took home $914,249 tax-free in 2013-14, it was the FNFTA that revealed the massive payout. As Kwikwetlem’s Marvin Joe told the National Post, “If it wasn’t for this new transparency act, I don’t think we ever would have known.” Similarly, the new law exposed how four council members from the Shuswap First Nation had shared $4.1 million over four years to govern a band of 267 people.

Instead of scrapping the FNFTA, the federal government should entrench the court’s ruling and expand the law to require bands to pass conflict of interest and fiduciary responsibility rules. The government could also require bands to hand over even more financial information to the grassroots, especially around band-owned businesses and wages for chiefs sitting on regional bodies.

There are thousands of ethical people living and working on reserves across Canada, people like Wayne Louie. They deserve our support and admiration – and laws that ensure a select few aren’t taking more than their fair share.

The Clark’s Crossing Gazette welcomes Letters to the Editor regarding topics of interest to our readers. The Gazette reserves the right to edit letters for brevity and clarity. Letters must be accompanied by the author’s name, signature and daytime telephone number for verification purposes (name and daytime telephone number in the case of emailed letters).

$40-million health care lean initiative efficiency program, overcrowded schools that can longer afford desks, phones and computers, emergency and surgical ward problems and declining rural and longterm care and rough roads have some wondering where all of that oil windfall has gone.

And under a different premier (Wall’s approval rating has slipped, but is still at a nation’s best 60-per-cent) seeking a third term in Saskatchewan would certainly not be a given.

No non-CCF/NDP government has won three consecutive elections since the Liberals in 1929.

But governments that are successful over the long haul are successful because they have a certain way of addressing the core issues that are most important to the people.

Two recent press releases illustrate that what is going on in Wall’s Saskatchewan’s suggest his government is accomplishing what matters most to people of this province.

The first press release announced that despite the slowing economy, Saskatch-

ewan remains one of the fastest growing provinces in Canada with 1,134,402 people as of April 1.

That is an increase of 1,762 people in the past three months and 14,273 more people in the past year.

Admittedly, governments don’t control population growth and the growth did start a couple years before Wall came to power in 2007.

But a province once known for giving away its children to other provinces, adding 139,475 in a decade is more than a remarkable achievement. And it’s ample reason for the voters to trust what Wall is doing.

In a similar vein, there were 582,700 people working in Saskatchewan in June; the most ever in the history of this province.

Also, Saskatchewan’s 4.9-per-cent unemployment rate was again the lowest in the country for the 20th consecutive month. For a province that saw its children leave the province for decades looking for work, this is fantastic news.

And it’s also why Wall and his Sask. Party government are likely heading for a big third, majority.

NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS

The Clark’s Crossing Gazette welcomes the submission of news stories, photos, letters or any other information that would be of interest to the readers of this newspaper.

NEWS OR SPORTS STORIES

If you or someone you know has been involved in an event you think is newsworthy, please include your name and contact information (either a daytime telephone number and/or email address). Please send the information in a timely manner following the event and remember to include as much pertinent information as possible, including the following:

1. WHO was involved?

2. WHAT was the event?

3. WHEN and WHERE did the event occur?

4. WHY was the event important?

PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPS

All the information that goes with a news story should also accompany photo(s) as above. Include the names of all the people in each photo and identify from left to right and from back to front.

1. Set your camera to the highest resolution possible. The more resolution, the better the

final outcome of the photo in print.

2. Don’t be shy! Get close to your subject(s). Most photos taken with a built-in zoom lens extended will

produce “grainy” images that do not reproduce well.

3. Attempt to get dynamic photos of something happening instead of just a quick snapshot.

4. “Presentation” photos typically don’t work well if there are too many people side-by-side in the frame.

If there are many people in the photo, have them as close together as possible and, if needed, have

the front row seated and the back row standing.

5. Remember taking a picture facing into the sun or bright light will produce poor quality images.

Warman, Martensville working toward joint RCMP headquarters

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca With additional RCMP officers being assigned every year to the cities of Warman and Martensville, the need for a joint facility to house the RCMP detachment is growing.

Currently, each city has eight police officers assigned to their respective municipality, making a combined total of 16 officers. The cities pay the cost of these officers under a pre-approved formula with the RCMP. The number of officers for both Martensville and Warman has been climbing steadily for the past five years. Once the total number of officers assigned to the urban centres reaches 20, it would be enough to constitute a separate detachment.

The Cities of Warman and Martensville are preparing for the day when a new RCMP facility serving both communities becomes a reality. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to ini-

tiate a feasibility study for a new facility was signed on Wednesday, June 24 by Martensville Mayor Kent Muench and Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence. Both cities have allocated up to $25,000 toward the feasibility study.

Martensville City Manager Scott Blevins said the total cost of the feasibility study is not known.

“We’re working on a Request for Proposals (RFP) to look at possibly having an engineering firm do the study,” said Blevins in an interview on Friday, June 26.

“The RFP should be ready within the next couple of months. One of the key issues that needs to be looked at in the study is the future site of a new RCMP facility.

We want to make sure that any location we’re looking at is appropriate. Is it serviceable for water and sewer? Things like that have to be taken into account.”

The RM of Corman Park is also a party to the MOU because in all likelihood, any site chosen for the new

Martensville Mayor Kent Muench and Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the cities to initiate a feasibility study for a joint RCMP facility

RCMP facility will be in the RM somewhere between the cities.

“It’s hard to say at this point where the building would be constructed,” said Blevins. “But both cities have been having discussions on this issue for the past five years, so we have a very good understanding of the needs of each city, and we’re committed to working together for the benefit of both communities.”

Warman and Martensville have both included a joint RCMP facility in their future long-range plans and included allocations in their five-year capital budgets for the project.

Blevins said the impending feasibility study is focused on the future of the urban coverage area for the detachment. The rural coverage area is not included in the study, he added.

rural rcmp component

The Warman-Martensville detachment currently has a total allotment of 29 members, and includes a geographic area that also includes a large rural component stretching west as far as Maymont, southwest to Delisle and east as far as the South Saskatchewan River.

The detachment has offices in Warman, Martensville, Delisle and Radisson.

Martensville used to have a separate detachment, but a few years ago, it was amalgamated with the Warman detachment to provide 24hour policing to the entire area. This means that even though some officers are assigned to one municipality or the other, they are able to respond to incidents in all parts of the coverage area when needed.

A previous study on the future of the RCMP detachment raised many questions, said Blevins. This feasibility study is going to focus on providing answers.

Warman rookie firefighters earn NFPA provincial certification

By RUSS AUSTIN Warman Deputy Fire Chief On Wednesday, June 24, our 2014 hires completed their provincial NFPA 1001 level one and two firefighter training with a live burn north of Warman.

After six months of weekly classroom sessions and passing on the exams, the live burn was the last step in their certification.

Firefighters were inside the building showing us their skills with fire science and interior attack, then moved outside as the building burnt intensely to show us fire streams and suppression skills.

The structure burned so hot that it created its own weather and a mini-tornado for a brief time.

Firefighters from the re-

gional training program will complete their certifications with their home halls sometime this summer or fall.

Congratulations to our three Warman firefighters for graduating, and all the firefighters in our district who committed so much time to certify to the international standard and serve their communities!

New Co-op grocery store in the works for Martensville By next year, grocery shopping for Martensville residents will be much more convenient.

A 30,000 square foot Co-op Food Store is set to open in 2016 in the commercial development of Black Iron Crossing, located just south of the Co-op Convenience Store and Gas Bar. Harley McClughan, Operations Manager for Saskatoon Co-op said they’ve received numerous requests from members and residents to consider expanding into

Martensville.

“We’re excited to make this announcement - based on the support we receive from the citizens of Martensville at our current Convenience Store and Gas Bar, we look forward to great success at this new food location,” said McClughan.

Kent Muench, Mayor of the City of Martensville, says the Co-op Food store means more than just another choice for food shopping.

“While the opening of a

Co-op Food store means residents don’t need to travel to Saskatoon for food shopping, Co-op has told us the new location will employ approximately 75 staff which will further enhance our growing local economy,” said Muench.

Martensville’s Community & Economic Development Manager Dillon Shewchuk says acquiring a new food store is a big accomplishment and the project took a lot of work to come to fruition. But, he says, the wait

was worth it.

“Co-op is a trusted brand and our existing relationship with Co-op is very strong,” said Shewchuk.

Polling conducted by the city on commercial development shows that about 70% of residents currently travel elsewhere to shop for groceries, and over 90% do their shopping for household goods outside of Martensville.

“A grocery store was on the top of the list for residents when it came to new

Warman Chamber members attend training course Jade Gulash, Board member of the Warman Chamber of Commerce, and Chamber staff, Jaimie Malmgren, both recently attended Chamber College training in Saskatoon.

Gulash, who joined the Board last fall, has completed Level 1, while Malmgren, who had taken Level 1 in the fall, has completed Level 2. They were among 13 chamber professionals attending the training.

The Chamber College was created as a partnership between the Saskatchewan Chamber and the Chambers of Commerce Executives of Saskatchewan.

The curriculum for Level 1 covers areas including bylaws, non-dues revenue, membership, finance and holding events; the syllabus for Level 2 goes into greater depth of knowledge in these and other key chamber areas.

“The world of Chambers of Commerce is changing rapidly, and it is critical to have the knowledge and skills within the organization to meet the challenges and serve the members. Therefore, we have developed Chamber College to provide new and emerging chamber leaders - staff and presidents - the things they need to know to do their jobs well,” said Steve McLellan, CEO of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce.

“The Chamber College is a ground-breaking initiative for the chamber network – the first of its kind in Canada,” McLellan explained.

“As a new chamber, it is extremely valuable for us to have Chamber College training. I’m confident it will help us effectively foster a positive business environment in Warman and help us develop a stronger voice for our members,” stated Warman Chamber staff member, Jaimie Malmgren.

The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce represents the interests of 10,000 businesses across the province through Chamber Network.

The mandate of the Saskatchewan Chamber is to make the province a better place to live, work and invest.

The CCES is the professional development association for senior management and staff of Chambers of Commerce in Saskatchewan, whose mission is to increase the effectiveness of Chamber staff.

development they wanted to see in the city, so we’re confident the store will be a popular shopping location,” Shewchuk added.

“These large brands like Co-op obviously continue to see the benefits of being here, and as the population continues to grow, we expect to see more business and commercial growth in the city,” said Shewchuk.

Co-op hopes to begin construction on the store soon with a target opening in 2016.

In recent years, Oak Centre RV Mall, Tim Horton’s, Dairy Queen, McDonald’s, Pharmasave, and Canalta Hotels have set up shop in Martensville with Boston Pizza Canadian Tire, and Dollarama set to open later in 2015.

Saskatchewan’s Population Continues to Grow

Saskatchewan continues to be one of the fastest growing provinces in Canada. According to Statistics Canada, as of April 1, 2015, there were 1,134,402 people living in Saskatchewan, an increase of 1,762 in the past quarter and an increase of 14,273 in the past year.

Saskatchewan had the second highest growth rate among the provinces in the past year and third highest in the past quarter. Our province has now had population growth every quarter for the past 9 years – the longest period of continuous growth since the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Building Schools for Saskatchewan Students

Go Fusion-fast!

Our growing population means more than 11,000 students will be attending new state-of-the-art elementary schools in Saskatoon, Martensville, Warman and Regina. Each of these nine new, joint-use schools will include 90 new child care spaces, community space and more.

Building schools in fast-growing communities is a priority for our government and, using a P3 model, we will complete this work on-time and on-budget. Construction on the publicly-owned and operated schools is expected to begin this summer and will be ready for students in 2017.

Since 2007, we have committed approximately $948 million toward 65 major school capital projects and numerous smaller projects including preventative maintenance and renewal.

Students Saving with Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarships

Students who are graduating from Grade 12 this year are now eligible for the $500 Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship. This $500 per year scholarship (to a lifetime maximum of $2,000) is applied to tuition costs at a Saskatchewan postsecondary institution.

Since its inception, more than 17,000 Saskatchewan students have been awarded scholarships worth nearly $14 million. In 2015-16, the provincial government is committing $9 million toward the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship, an increase of $2.3 million from last year.

Since 2007, our government has provided $670 million in direct support to students through scholarships, bursaries and grants through the student loan program, the Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings and the Graduate Retention Program.

Saskatchewan’s economy is diversified with a broad base of goods and services which has set us apart from other provinces. Our economic outlook is positive – jobs are up, population is up, and other indicators like exports and wholesale trade are making steady gains.

New job numbers released by Statistics Canada show that there were 582,700 people working in the province in May 2015, an increase of 4,800 over the previous year. At 4.9 per cent, our province also maintained Canada’s lowest unemployment rate for the 20th consecutive month.

Saskatchewan Reports on Patient First Review Progress

Saskatchewan has made significant progress addressing patient feedback from its ground-breaking Patient First Review. This includes dramatically reduced surgical wait times and primary health care innovations that are revitalizing health services in rural communities. The focus is now on reducing emergency department waits, improving care for seniors and improving services for people struggling with mental health and addictions.

A Patient First Review Update report outlines options under consideration to improve patients’ access to health care, such as recent legislation to pave the way for patients to choose to directly pay a private facility for an MRI scan in Saskatchewan. Other approaches under consideration include a credit system for people who want more choices outside of the province for select services not available in Saskatchewan, and activity-based funding for health facilities.

Our government is firmly committed to a health system that puts patients first, and we’ll continue to ask for input and learn from their experiences. Much more work is ahead, but a solid foundation is in place to achieve exceptional patient and family-centred care.

Victim services building solid foundation in region

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A police-based organization dedicated to helping victims of crime is becoming solidly established in the region.

Sask Central Victim Services (SCVS), located in the RCMP detachment office in Martensville, was launched last April. So far, the focus has been on getting a solid foundation in place, said SCVS Coordinator Sheri Watkins.

“It’s been a busy time,” said Watkins in an interview at her office on Wednesday, June 24. “This is the last remaining area of the province that did not have a victim services organization, so there was a real need. But it does take time to get everything in place.”

Watkins, who started in the position last February, has so far hired two assistant coordinators; one based in Humboldt and one based in Kindersley; as well as an administrative assistant working out of the Martensville office.

The assistant coordinator in Kindersley is Andrea Kletzel. Currently a parttime civilian employee at the RCMP’s Kindersley detachment, Kletzel recently received her RCMP security clearance and begins her new job in August, said Watkins. The assistant coordinator in Humboldt and the administrative assis-

tant who were hired are still waiting for their security clearance.

Watkins said she’s encouraged to have received interest from volunteers in Warman and Martensville, as well as from other RCMP detachments across the region.

Watkins said she is currently developing training materials for staff and volunteers.

“I have a number of interested volunteers throughout the region and look forward to working with them on an ongoing basis in order to provide victims of crime and traumatic events with qualified, compassionate and capable support throughout the Sask Central region,” she said.

Watkins is also working directly with about 10 victims of crime in Warman and Martensville. Once a full complement of staff is in place, the numbers of people the organization can help will increase substantially, she said.

Annual meeting held

The SCVS held its annual general meeting in midJune, and the organization saw some changes to its board of directors.

Collette Lessmeister of Humboldt stepped down as Chair of the SCVS. The new Chair is former RCMP staff sergeant Tony Shumilak.

Shumilak recently retired

from the RCMP’s Central District in Saskatoon. A former RCMP representative, Shumilak is now a community board member. He was elected to the Chairperson post at the AGM. New members elected to the SCVS board are John Enns-Wind, a member at large and Mayor of Kindersley; Staff Sergeant Kevin Williams, Central District NCO with the Saskatoon RCMP detachment; and Staff Sergeant Grant Rusk of the RCMP Unity Detachment.

Former RCMP Staff Sergeant Rob Eyre of the Saskatoon detachment stepped down from the board at the AGM, as did Mike McLeod, member at large for Martensville. However, McLeod is staying with the organization as a volunteer advocate for victims.

“It’s really nice to have Mike stay on board,” said Watkins. “Most of our volunteers are women, and they do a great job. But it is also important to have a strong male advocate. That will really make a difference in a lot of the cases we deal with.”

Board members staying on include: Eugene Motruk of Biggar (vice-chair), Jeannie Coe of Saskatoon (secretary); Ivan Gabrysh of Warman, Sylvia Maljan of Unity, and Staff Sergeant Kevin Weber of the Warman RCMP Detachment.

City of Martensville revamps website Residents are now able to access information faster and easier on the City’s website, Martensville.ca.

A communications project that included updating, re-writing and improved navigation has been completed.

“We know from our research the number one way residents want to get information from the City is via the website,” says Dillon Shewchuk, Manager of Community and Economic Development. “We believed the site did not need a total overall, for some the changes are not noticeable, but we also knew the site required some work to make it more useful.”

The site now features a main menu where visitors can learn about Martensville, a ‘How Do I’ section that directs residents to information the City says residents ask about most, a

‘Living in Martensville’ section which provides detailed information on programs and services, and a ‘City Hall’ section that includes Department responsibilities, and information on elected officials.

A new Quick Links section provides links to the most sought out information by residents, as well as to information the City feels residents need to be aware of. For example, the ‘Planning for the Future’ link provides information on the ways in which the City is planning for growth.

The site improvements were made as part of the city’s efforts to enhance communication to residents and business owners.

In the past 18 months, the City has also implemented a newsletter (the Banner), started a Facebook page, and a Twitter account to

share information.

“Although we haven’t conducted any formal research, feedback on the newsletter has been positive, and our Facebook page and Twitter posts are popular,” says Shewchuk.

“We hope the improvements made to the website will also be helpful to residents.” Shewchuk adds the Economic Development section of the website will soon go through a similar updating exercise after any outstanding issues with the City website are addressed.

The resident survey conducted in summer 2012 also found that 91% of residents liked the look of the website, which was a factor in the City’s decision not to put resources into building an entirely new site at this time. The website project was completed as part of the City’s existing budget for communication.

Traffic stops beefed up for Roughriders season opener The Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan Unit (Central Region) conducted increased enforcement for the Saskatchewan Roughriders home opener on Saturday, June 27, resulting in 775 vehicles being stopped.

The CTSS Unit, with assistance from the Craik and Lumsden RCMP detach-

ments, CN Police and Highway Transport Patrol, focused on Highway 11 south on the same day many motorists traveled to Regina for the Saskatchewan Roughriders home opener.

The enforcement and check stops were aimed at detecting and preventing impaired, distracted and aggressive driving. The agen-

cyies plan to continue increased enforcement on game days throughout the 2015 season.

Of the 775 vehicles checked the following charges were laid; three impaired driving, five alcohol, one drug, and 34 traffic.

CTSS is a unit made up of members of the Saskatoon Police Service and RCMP.

PLAY BALL! Delisle takes on Great Britain, New Zealand in exhibition games

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The Delisle National Leasing Diamond Dogs played host to Team Great Britain and New Zealand in three exhibition games in preparation for the ISF World Softball Championships in Saskatoon this week.

Great Britain finished ninth in the tournament last year.

Michael Lee, infielder with Great Britain, said Canadian teams are always a good way to prepare for the world tournament.

“For a lot of our guys who play in Australia and New Zealand, their seasons ended months ago, so exhibition games help get them back in shape,” said Lee. “Pitchers on Canadian teams are usually pretty good so it helps us prepare for what we are going to see in this tournament.”

In the June 23 game Great Britain got off to a 4-0 lead in the opening inning and increased their lead by a home run, which came off the bat of pitcher Richard Haldane at the top of the 6th.

The Diamond Dogs tried to make a go of it throughout the game but were not able to solve Haldane until the 7th inning when Jordy Gagnon scored off a hit by outfielder Shawn Colborn.

In the second game Great Britain and the Diamond Dogs played to a 5th inning 5-5 tie.

In the second exhibition game against New Zealand the Diamond Dogs played to a 5-5 tie in 10 innings.

Colborn said the Diamond Dogs played well, but could

have come out harder in the opening game.

“A lot of our guys have played against Haldane before. He was hitting some really good spots and doing his job. In the whole game we only had one fly ball. I think he had five strikeouts and every other out was a ground ball,” said Colborn.

“In the New Zealand game our pitcher Brian Newton threw extremely well and we executed on some of the chances we had.”

Playing against international teams sometimes gives the Diamond Dogs the opportunity to play against familiar faces.

Team Great Britain’s roster includes six Canadians from Vancouver, Ontario and Saskatoon.

Britain-born Lee said Delisle has a great atmosphere to play softball and a lot of community support, which was great to see.

“This is a great field and community-wise a lot of people come out to watch.

You don’t really get this support in the UK. It is a really cool atmosphere to play in.”

Colborn said feedback from both teams and the community was positive.

“Everybody loved it. We had our team for 16 years and I think we only played six games in Delisle. It was fun and exciting,” said Colborn.

Money collected through game tickets and concession from the exhibition games will go towards funding the Diamond Dogs trip to the ISC World Tournament in South Bend, Indiana August 8-15.

The Diamondbacks won both games of the doubleheader by scores of 9-4 and 8-4.

Warman also hosted an exhibition game between Great Britain and New Zealand on Monday, June 22. The ISF World Men’s Fastball championship tournament is on this week in Saskatoon.

Legends set to host 2016 provincial men’s amateur golf championship

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Legends Golf Club in Warman is hosting next year’s provincial Men’s Amateur Championship tournament.

Brian Lee, Executive-Director of Golf Saskatchewan, confirmed the 105th Saskatchewan Men’s Amateur Championship is slated to take place July 18-21, 2016, at the Legends Golf Club.

This will be the second time the popular course has hosted the event. The first time was during the Legends’ inaugural season in 2011.

“It’s going to be an exciting event,” said Lee. “The Legends is a great course and we’ll see the some really competitive golf during that tournament.”

Legends Golf Club manager Craig Prentice said he expects the top golfers from across the province to compete. That could include some local members, he added.

“Certainly we have a great core of guys in our own membership that would be among the top contenders in a tournament like this,” said Prentice. “Luke Sheard, for example, if he chooses to play, would be considered among the favourites for the title.”

Prentice said Golf Saskatchewan approached the Legends about hosting the event earlier this year, and the agreement was signed in February.

“It was such a great success for both organizations last time it was held here

that it made sense to do it again,” said Prentice. “It’s a good fit.”

potential record year

In an interview, Lee said this year’s golf season could turn out to be a recordbreaker for many golf courses across the province.

“This has been one of the best opening years for golf that we’ve seen in many years,” said Lee. “We haven’t had a lot of rain, so a many clubs have had to pump quite a bit of water onto the fairways and greens to keep them looking good. But on the other hand, they were able to start the season early and there’s been a lot of people out enjoying the game so far this year.”

Lee said most of the courses across the province are well ahead of where they were in 2014 and 2013 in terms of rounds played. If the trend continues, it could break some records, he added.

provincial championships

Lee said there’s a full slate of provincial tournaments coming up this summer.

Colin Coben of Delisle won the Auto Clearing Chrysler Senior Men’s Championship last week at Moon Lake Golf and Country Club, shooting a three-day total of 211. His final day score of 69 cemented his victory.

Lee said both the 97th Saskatchewan Amateur Women’s championship and the 29th annual Saskatchewan Mid-Am Men’s Champion-

ship are slated for Elk Ridge Resort at Waskesiu Lake July 8-10.

The 89th Saskatchewan Junior Men’s and 65th Junior Women’s championships take place at Deer Park Municipal Golf Course in Yorkton July 20-22.

“Deer Park is going to be one of the golf courses that’s hosting a national championship as well,” said Lee. “They’re hosting the Canadian Junior Girls National Championship August 3 through 7. The golf course has already received calls from as far east as Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and as far west as Vancouver Island, from golfers looking for practice rounds to make sure they can get out and become familiar with the course.”

Lee said the 2015 provincial Men’s Amateur Championship, which will mark the 105th edition of the tournament, is slated for Estevan Woodlawn Golf Club in Estevan July 27-30.

August 5-7 will see both the 96th Saskatchewan Senior Men’s Championship and the 56th provincial Senior Women’s at Hillcrest Golf Club in Moose Jaw. The 45th Saskatchewan Women’s Rosebowl tournament goes August 12-13 at Golf Kenosee at Kenosee Lake in southeastern Saskatchewan; and the season wraps up with the provincial mixed team championship August 22-23 at Nipawin Evergreen Golf and Country Club.

per capita leader

Saskatchewan has a huge

number of golf courses, said Lee, noting that while many are world-class championship courses, there’s also a lot that appeal to less-competitive and more recreation-minded golfers.

“What sets Saskatchewan apart is that we have the most sand green golf courses per capita than anywhere else on the planet,” said Lee. “At last count, we have 87 sand green courses.”

He noted that two former sand green courses are making the transition to grass greens this year.

Waldheim’s Pineridge Golf Club, as well as the one at Canwood, are upgrading to grass greens.

On the other hand, he said, a new sand green course just opened up at Fishing Lake Regional park to allow campers to strike a ball around the course with

their paid entry to the park.

There is also a sand green course at Pike Lake where visitors to the provincial park can golf all day.

“In Saskatchewan, you can play a world-class facility like Moon Lake, where you have the private membership experience, or you can play a sand green course for next to nothing and have a lot of fun with the family,” said Lee.

Warman Wolverines all-stars to play in Canada Cup

By WAYNE SHIELS essenceofsask@gmail.com The Warman High School (WHS) Wolverines football team will be well represented when Team Saskatchewan heads to Quebec in early July to compete in the U18 Canada Cup. WHS teammates Jesse Ens, Brandon McKimmon and Joel Seiferling were named to the squad in June.

Other area teams are also represented as Martensville Royals head coach Lyle Evanisky is an assistant coach for Team Saskatchewan and Delisle Rebels linebacker Joshua Kemp is currently one of the practice roster players.

The Football Canada Cup is Canada’s premiere preuniversity football tournament. In addition to representing their province, participants have a chance to showcase their talents for junior and university coaches. Notable alumni from past tournaments include former Rider stars Ben Heenan and Andy Fantuz.

Also participating in the tournament are teams from Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and two from Quebec.

TOP PERFORMERS

WHS head football coach Tyler Scheidt said to have three players from the same 9-man football team competing at the top level is a real testament to the opportunites for development in the minor football programs of this area.

“The neat thing about this group is they are actual football players,” said Scheidt.

“I mean we have had good athletes who played football.

These are kids that over the last four or five years have wanted to be football players. They are a new element for us. They do the Team Sask stuff. They have been in Football Saskatchewan academies, go to Team Sask tryouts. They are so polished when we are getting them.”

The trio are familiar with elite competition, having played in the 2014 Canada Cup with Saskatchewan White team when Saskatchewan was allowed to have two teams as the tournament host when the event was held in Saskatoon. They had also played in the Elite regional tournament for under-16 players in Winnipeg in 2013. In 2012 Seiferling and McKimmon played in that same tournament, helping Saskatchewan win the gold medal.

Coach Scheidt explained, “These are really good kids. They are just humble and hard-working and very coachable. The other thing with these guys is they train. The season ends, they heal up and get into offseason training. They are very productive with it, getting stronger all the way around; meaning they are well-trained athletes who are willing to do the work to be that athlete. It is a combination of their work ethic along with their ability that really makes them successful.”

PUBLIC NOTICE

Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park No. 344 intends to adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw No. 23/10, known as the Corman Park – Saskatoon Planning District Zoning Bylaw.

INTENT a) The proposed Bylaw No. 27/15 will rezone from D-Agricultural 1 District (DAG1) to D-Country Residential 4 District (DCR4) the lands described below. Proposed Bylaw 27/15 will provided for the rezoning of the subject parcel to allow for a six (6) lot multiparcel residential subdivision. b) The proposed Bylaw No. 28/15 allows for rezoning by contract to provide for temporary industrial uses with no permanent structures so that the owners can utilize the property until the time that the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) begins construction on the Perimeter Highway.

cial skill set to the team.

WHS Defensive Coordinator Tyler Dueck talked about Joel Seiferling as arguably being the best high school defensive back in the province. An argument further reinforced by him being awarded the top Defensive Back in the Roughrider Bowl played the last weekend in May this year.

Dueck explained: “For a kid that size, 6’3”, playing that position, his speed, his footwork, quickness is unbelieveable. It is usually small guys in that position.

You have to be quick in that change of direction; to burst from being stopped is such a huge part of playing that position. Joel does it as well as the little guys but he is 6’3”.

brAndon mckimmon

Dueck discussed Brandon McKimmon role: “He plays defensive end for Team Sask. That is where he fits.

On our team we had him at middle linebacker. He is too good a player to confine him to one side of the field and let teams run away from him all game. By keying him in the middle, he has a chance to go to where the

ball is and you are going to impact every play. He is so smart, he knows where the ball is. He is at the line of scrimmage before the ball.”

It is not only athletic abillity but also his diligence in preparation. Dueck added, “He works on film, and does that type of preparation during the week. He watches and knows where the other team will be by the time the game rolls around. He is not guessing, he is anticipating.

Brandon is a special player that way.”

“He is a good player but he also is so smart at directing other players on the field.”

Coach Scheidt also talked about this. “We got guys like him and Joel that have the football knowledge and experience. We have other guys who are good athletes without as much football knowledge who need a little guidance and those two help them along.”

jesse ens

On the offensive side of the ball Coach Schneidt talked about the development of Jesse Ens. He said, “Jesse came to our program as an offensive

lineman. That is what he expected to play, wanted to play. We had a luxury with Jesse as a Grade 10, where we didn’t have to play him full time. He kind of got to work his way in and by the end of that year was playing more and more, to the point last year in Grade 11 he was well on his way to being a dominant offensive lineman where you could design your offense around that.”

“Now add another year, bigger,stronger, faster. As far as our world goes he is going to be a dominant, dominant force. Obviously playing at this level (Team Saskatchewan) not many kids playing 9-man football make that team.”

Having the opportunity to play with and against the best players in Canada will only continue the development of these talented athletes.

The Saskatchewan team is scheduled to have a training camp at U of S from July 6-8 before departing for Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec on July 9. Their first game is scheduled against New Brunswick on Monday, July 13.

c) The proposed Bylaw No. 30/15 will rezone from D-Rural Convenience Commercial 2 District (DC2) to D-Arterial Commercial 1 District (DC1) by contract the lands described below.

Proposed Bylaw 30/15 allows for rezoning of the property by contract to provide for a limited number of commercial uses that can be developed on the subject site.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, JULY 2, 2015

Is it too early to write off the Riders’ 2015 season?

A tornado has struck the trailer park.

And like with any natural disaster, it’s going to take weeks and weeks to clean up.

The 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders’ regular season began in the worst possible fashion Saturday night as quarterback Darian Durant left the lid-lifting game just before halftime on a cart.

Durant’s Riders were trailing the visiting Winnipeg Blue Bombers 15-14 at the time.

With back-up pivot Kevin Glenn coming in for Durant for the second half, Saskatchewan flirted with the lead. The game was tied 23-23 going into the fourth quarter and Saskatchewan even led by a field goal with 10 minutes to go.

However at the same time

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN

Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network

Durant was being assessed by the club’s doctors, Bomber quarterback Drew Willy was impressively leading his team to a startling upset victory.

When the clock struck 0:00, the Blue Bombers were on top 26-23. And the bad news was just beginning.

Rider head coach Corey Chamblin told a packed postgame news conference that they’d have an official assessment of Durant’s status later on Saturday night and that the team would inform the world of the news

via a news conference Monday morning.

Minutes after the presser was adjourned, Chamblin was handed the fateful news. Durant, the Face of the Franchise, had suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon and his 2015 season was over. It had lasted less than 30 minutes. Chamblin even asked if they could re-assemble the media but by then it was too late.

And with that, the entire Rider Nation was sent reeling.

Assuredly the

Roughriders never felt they’d have to cash in on the insurance policy that is Kevin Glenn this soon.

They’d stated publicly that they’d hoped Glenn wouldn’t have to be used, except sparingly, at all this year. And the 36-year old quarterback was fine with that.

Now, it’s Kevin Glenn’s team.

The 2014 season went down the tubes in mid-September when Durant suffered that season-ending right elbow injury in Winnipeg’s Banjo Bowl. Now, many are writing the 2015 season off as well.

Season ticket holders were offering up their seats on social media for the balance of the season before midnight even struck on Saturday.

But it’s far, far too soon for that. As stated at the be-

Saskatchewan Roughriders running back Jerome Messam makes a one-handed grab during the final day of Rider Training Camp at Saskatoon Wednesday, June 17. The Riders’ prospects for the season looked good up until their starting quarterback went down with a season-ending injury in the second quarter of their opening game against Winnipeg.

ginning of this column, the damage is still being assessed. And it extends well beyond Durant.

“Shea Emry was down, Nic Demski was down, Keenan MacDougall was down, and Marshay Green,” Chamblin huffed at the news conference, referring to their rash of injured starters. “Hell, everybody but me almost. That was tough. The toughest part is they worked their tails off all camp to get in shape and then a bug bites us all at one time. There’s no amount of prep you can do for that.”

I’m not kidding. It was literally like a tornado blasted that locker room. The postgame quotes were griefstricken.

“It sucks. For real,” groaned defensive end Alex Hall. “It just really sucks.

We didn’t execute. A lot of fundamental mistakes.

Winnipeg did a good job capitalizing on our mistakes and doing what they’re supposed to do.”

Sophomore receiver/returner Ryan Smith was equally stunned, moments after admirably filling in for injured veteran Weston Dressler. He was quick to look to the immediate future with Kevin Glenn at the helm.

“Anytime you see a player like (Durant) go out, I kind of lost my breath,” Smith admitted on CKRM’s postgame show. “You gotta bounce

back. We rallied around K.G. and he’s been a great player for a long time. We’re excited to play for and with him.”

When Durant went down last year, the whole world could see the team sagged over its final nine games.

However the Riders’ braintrust felt they adequately made steps in the off-season to ensure that wouldn’t happen again. Time will tell.

But Durant can’t tackle, nor can Glenn. And the Riders’ shoddy defensive play was as much, or more, of a culprit in Week 1 than any injury to their starting quarterback.

“It was poor tackling,” Chamblin admitted. “We’re a better tackling team, or we will be, than we were tonight. The offense had their trials but they had their successes too. Special teams had some troubles. It was 3026 but we still had a chance.

If we can correct those things, we’ll be back in the swing of it.”

Again, the damage is still being assessed. And it’s major. In fact it’s the most devastating set of circumstances to happen to this franchise since the 2009 Grey Cup and the infamous 13th Man incident.

Who in the world saw this coming?

A natural disaster indeed.

Auto Clearing to host ‘Ride for a Cure’ race

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca When Sportsman division race car drivers cross the finish line at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway on Saturday, July 18, it will be to raise money for a worthy cause.

The speedway will be hosting its ‘Ride for a Cure’ fundraiser for cancer research, with all proceeds of the race benefitting families in Saskatoon and surrounding areas.

This charity race is one of more than five the racing

organization has held over the years. It is also the first time Sportsman class drivers have been involved with the fundraiser.

Laurel Thompson, who is helping to organize the event, said she already has 20 drivers confirm they will participate in the 100-lap charity race.

Thompson said the race has attracted Sportsman division drivers from Alberta and British Columbia.

In 2013 the speedway’s Thunder class drivers helped raised $35,000. The

Public Notice of A Discretionary Use Application

majority of that money was used to help cancer patients get transportation to their therapies.

Thompson said her son Ryan, who is driving in the Sportsman class this year, wanted to organize the fundraiser in memory of his grandmother, who passed away from cancer.

Thompson said everyone has a reason for participating in this fundraiser.

“In our family right now I have a sister-in-law that is fighting hard to survive this. Personally my real

mom and my stepmom died of cancer. My son said: ‘Mom, I want to do this for Gram.’ I said, ‘perfect reason. You do what you need to do’,” said Thompson.

The day’s event will feature six classes of vehicles including the Bandino Class, which is made up of 12 to 14-year-olds. The fundraiser is open to all classes who want to contribute. There will also be fundraising competition aprizes awarded to the driver that raises the most money. Race time starts at 6 p.m.

INTENT a) The proposed Bylaw No. 31/15 will rezone the affected lands from Agricultural District (AG) to Agricultural Residential 1 District (AR1). Proposed Bylaw No. 31/15 will provide for the subdivision of a residential parcel.

Smoke aggravates respiratory illness With smoke from northern forest fires creating a pervasive haze in the air, paramedics are suggesting residents of the region should exercise care when outdoors.

Troy Davies of MD Ambulance said this week’s weather conditions may wreak havoc for individuals suffering from respiratory illnesses.

“Our main concern is for patients who suffer from

asthma or other respiratory illnesses like emphysema or COPD,” stated Davies. “If you do suffer from some sort of respiratory illness we are recommending you stay indoors when the smoke is particularly thick.

“If you have to be outside ensure that you have your inhaler with you. We are also warning healthy individuals who normally run or enjoy outdoor physical fitness to avoid doing this out-

side during these conditions.”

Elderly people, children, and individuals suffering from respiratory illnesses are more sensitive to these types of weather conditions, said Davies.

“If you start experiencing shortness of breath, wheezing, or chest tightness with no relief with your medication, we recommend you see your physician or call EMS,” he said.

Aberdeen Fun Day The sun shone brightly on Aberdeen as residents celebrated their annual Fun Day on Saturday, June 27. The day started with town councilors preparing a pancake breakfast that raised a total of $650 toward Aberdeen’s Learn to Skate program. The Sunset Rangers Multiple 4-H Club also held their Achievement Day at the Riding arena. This was followed by a parade, with lots of activities and good food at the Sports grounds. An outdoor movie and fireworks display topped off a great day.

Province upgrading beach facilities at Blackstrap Provincial Park The Government of Saskatchewan is investing $500,000 in a new beach service centre at Blackstrap Provincial Park. Work will begin immediately on the new service centre, which will provide safe and accessible public washroom and shower facilities.

“Saskatchewan’s provincial parks are more popular

than ever, and Blackstrap is no exception,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “A large number of people visit this park to take advantage of its fantastic day use facilities. This project will greatly enhance those facilities and make Blackstrap an even more enjoyable place to visit.”

The current building is more than 45 years old and does not contain shower or accessible washroom facilities. A public tender was issued for this project and Carmont Construction Ltd. of Saskatoon was the successful bidder.

The work on this new service centre is scheduled to begin immediately and con-

tinue through the spring of 2016. The new building is projected to open in the summer of 2016.

This investment is in addition to a previously announced $2.9 million campground development at Blackstrap Provincial Park.

The total investment in Blackstrap Provincial Park in the 2015-16 Budget is

nearly $3.5 million.

With these projects, the total investment in this park since 2008-09 is more than $5 million. These capital projects will improve the overall visitor experience at the park. Funding for capital projects and upgrades in provincial parks will total $14.6 million in 2015-16.

Corman Park moves ahead with train whistle assessment study The RM of Corman Park is proceeding with a study to determine whether the current number and duration of train whistles are needed at six level crossings in the southeast corner of the municipality.

A report by the RM’s public works committee on the subject was presented to a meeting of Corman Park council on June 15. The report outlined an estimated budgt for the Train Whistle Cessation Railway Study for for six active railway crossings with the project limits located in the CN Watrous Subdivision.

At a May 4, 2015 council meeting a delegation of residents in the area called for changes.

At that time council

passed a motion for the municipality to complete a safety assessment study on all six of the affected crossings in southeast Corman Park located at Range Road 3041, 3042, 3043, 3044, 3045 and 3050 at the estimated cost of $12,000-18,000.

CIMA will be the agency conducting the assessment.

CIMA has provided the RM with the proposed scope, schedule and fee estimate for the completion of the study. The estimated project budget for the study is $19,734 including disbursements but exclusive of applicable taxes.

GATEWAY CORRIDOR

Within the 2015 budget there was $50,000 allotted to do a trial run for the

Gateway Corridor program.

The program is intended to bring the service level of particular roads up to a higher standard. The selected roads were based on current and future traffic volumes, traffic types, amount of maintenance currently given and the amount of maintenance required.

The Department of Public Works determined that Beam Road would be the ideal choice to utilize this funding. This road would become dust-free with an approved chemical (calcium or magnesium), which would reduce aggregate losses by up to 30 per cent.

It would also protect the $130,000 worth of base stabilization work recent-

Take steps to avoid West Nile virus As temperatures rise, so does your chance of contracting West Nile Virus from the Culex tarsalis mosquitoes that are more active in hot weather.

Typically, the mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus are active from mid-July to the end of August. The level of risk depends largely on the weather.

Most people who get infected with West Nile Virus will experience no symptoms, or only mild ones like fever, headaches and body aches. However, there is a small chance of developing a more serious illness, West Nile Virus neuroinvasive disease. This can lead to in-

flammation of the brain and even death.

“The majority of people who get West Nile Virus will not need medical attention and will improve on their own,” Saskatchewan’s Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Denise Werker said. “However, a patient should see a doctor immediately if they develop serious symptoms like a persistent fever, neck stiffness, severe headaches, confusion, seizures or paralysis.”

Since 2003, there have been 157 severe neurological cases and 17 deaths in Saskatchewan.

“To reduce your potential exposure to West Nile Vi-

rus, take steps to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes while out enjoying our beautiful Saskatchewan summers,” Provincial West Nile Virus Co-ordinator Phil Curry said.

Minimize your exposure to mosquito bites: Use appropriate insect repellent when outdoors; Cover up. Wear light coloured, loose fitting, longsleeved tops and long pants when outdoors; and Reduce the amount of time spent outdoors between dusk and dawn. The peak mosquito hours are around dusk and dawn, but Culex mosquitoes will also bite during the night.

ly completed. This work would save on the current weekly blading with a RM grader.

CLARENCE AVE REPAIRS

A section of Clarence Avenue in Corman Park immediately south of Saskatoon is in need of complete repair.

According to a report to council from the RM’s public works committee, this localized area has standing water which has completely saturated the sub-base, causing total failure.

The repair would consist of rebuilding the sub-base

with new material and a geo-technical liner with a final layer of asphalt being applied.

Informal quotes reveal the repairs will cost about $180,000.

This project was not included in the recent budget and will require a transfer of reserve funds to complete.

GRAVEL SUPPLY

The RM of Corman Park decided to continue using Pilka Trucking to supply and haul gravel until 2017.

Pilka Trucking is currently one of the RM approved

contractors for hauling and supplying gravel for the 2015 season. Over the past two years the RM had tendered stock piling and supply of Tonne of Type 106 traffic gravel as part of their yearly gravel program. Unit bid prices for the past two years ran anywhere from $26-$46 for supply and stock piling. The trucking company offered a two year contract price to haul 8,000 yards per year of Type 106 traffic gravel for all-in pricing delivered onto the roads for $32 per yard.

The total yearly cost for both years will be $256,000.

Grassfire quickly extinguished by Osler, Warman firefighting crews

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A rapid response by firefighters from Osler and Warman snuffed out a grassfire that threatened at least one building on an acreage southeast of Osler on Thursday, June 25.

A handful of Osler FIre Rescue volunteer firefighters responded to the call, which came in about 4:00 p.m., with a wildland truck and water tender unit. They quickly requested backup from Warman Fire Rescue.

The fire apparently started when a controlled burn in a woodpile near an old barn on the acreage spread to the surrounding long

grass. Despite the lifting of a fire ban last week in the RM of Corman Park, the ground cover in most parts of the region is still very dry.

Fanned by a light northwesterly breeze, the fire began to spread rapidly and a column of grey smoke could be seen for several miles.

The firefighters set up portable water tanks and used water supplies from trucks to douse the fire.

The blaze was quickly brought under control and was totally extinguished in under an hour.

No one was injured in the incident, and no buildings were damaged.

Jasmine Calix chosen as NDP candidate in Martensville-Warman In a contested nomination in Martensville Thursday evening, June 25, Jasmine Calix was chosen as the New Democrat candidate.

“I’m thrilled to have Jasmine on our team because it’s clear that she’s a strong voice for what matters most to families and young people in this constituency,” said NDP Leader Cam Broten, who spoke at the nomination meeting.

“The people of the Martensville-Warman constituency are increasingly feeling like this government is taking them for granted, and they’re not happy about that. Just look at the Sask. Party’s cuts to education in this region. The local Sask. Party MLA was part of those decisions. This constituency needs to vote for change and Jasmine Calix will deliver on that.”

Calix lives in Martensville and works as an assistant coordinator of the Crime-Free Multi-Housing

program with the Saskatoon Police Service. She serves on the Martensville Housing Authority and the Saskatchewan Arts Board.

“The Sask. Party has had eight long years of record revenues, but we keep seeing cuts and neglect of what matters most to people, like health care, education and infrastructure,” said Calix.

“Like a growing number of people in this constituency, I’m tired of this government taking MartensvilleWarman for granted. That’s why I’ve chosen to run for elected office – to give this constituency the kind of representation it deserves.”

Calix’s previous experience includes working in the Canadian Embassy in Washington, as a research analyst with the University of Saskatchewan, and with the Saskatchewan Municipal Board. She earned a Master of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of Saskatchewan.

Great Plains College receives international student designation In May 2015, Great Plains College Swift Current Campus obtained its international designation through the Ministry of Advanced Education.

As such, International students can now enrol in the Business and Administrative Assistant programs at Swift Current Campus.

“We recognize the current and looming labour shortage in Saskatchewan and the desire to have access to skilled graduates,” says Keleah Ostrander, director of planning. “By being able to accept International students and support them through post-secondary education, we are able to help meet the needs of employers in the province.”

“The designation of the Administrative Assistant and Business programs is only the starting point.

We believe it will open the doors to many possibilities for the institution,” added Ostrander.

Great Plains College is the second Saskatchewan Regional College to receive international designation.

This past year, the Saskatchewan Government announced the launch of the International Education Strategy.

The strategy includes the goal to increase the number

of International students studying in the province by 75 per cent from 3,500 to 6,200.

“I’m pleased Great Plains College achieved this designation to educate students from around the globe,” Minister of Advanced Education Scott Moe said. “This initiative supports the province’s goal of building economic and cultural bridges between Saskatchewan and the rest of the world.”

The Administrative Assistant program provides practical and applied training in word processing, accounting, spreadsheets, database and Internet searches, office procedures, communications and business calculations.

The program is competency based, meaning that students can work and learn at their own pace.

Through the program, they are prepared to enter the workforce with foundational learning for careers in accounting, administration, financial services, human resources, insurance or marketing or pursue an entrepreneurial lead.

Students who graduate from the Business program

are able to bridge their education to complete a diploma from Saskatchewan Polytechnic or transition to University studies and apply credits to degrees such as business management and chartered accounting.

Admissions to the Administrative Assistant and Business certificate programs are evaluated on a first come, first served basis, provided that students meet entrance eligibility criteria. Full-time International students are also eligible for a $500-5,000 Entrance Scholarship, provided they are accepted into the program and meet the application deadlines set by the college.

International students whose primary language is not English and-or their country is not exempt, will need to meet the requirements of English language skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing necessary to be successful in the program to which they have applied.

Saskatoon Health Region sets operating, capital budgets for 2015-16 Saskatoon Regional Health Authority has approved Saskatoon Health Region’s balanced operating budget of $1.156 billion for 201516 and $39.6 million in new capital expenditures, based on strategies to improve services to patients.

The health region approved the budget at a meeting on Wednesday, June 24.

Over the last five years, Saskatoon and area’s population has increased 15.3 percent and demand for Saskatoon Health Region healthcare services has also grown, including a 17.3 per cent increase in hospital stays, a 12.1 per cent increase in hospital births, and a 10 per cent increase in surgeries. The increase in demand has been managed with a 5.9 percent (net of inflation) increase in spending.

“Just over 90 days ago, Saskatoon Health Region initiated a breakthrough patient flow strategy focused on meeting this increased demand for our care and the changing healthcare needs of our population by providing people with the right

care in the right place at the right time,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Dan Florizone. “The 90 Days of Innovation: Ready Every Day patient flow initiative saw chronic overcapacity drop significantly, inappropriate patient care spaces closed and an increase to community-based supports.

All this is improving services to patients while making efficient use of taxpayer dollars.”

The 2015-16 budget is built on a strategy to achieve $41.66 million in cost reductions, or the equivalent cost of about 13 days of operation, which will address a projected gap between 201516 revenue and expenses of $22.3 million and the $19.36 million 2014-15 deficit. This strategy includes: $13.7 million in anticipated savings from patient flow initiatives including those arising from 90 Days of Innovation $21 million savings from reduced overtime, sick time and turnover costs, since Region-wide efforts to eliminate overcapacity also enhance employee work-life

balance $6.96 million in savings from management of nonunionized vacant positions and reduced administrative spending (supplies, contracts travel) The 2015-16 capital plan focuses on the Region’s most critical infrastructure, information technology and equipment needs such as nurse call systems and generator replacements. ​“We have only just begun to see the benefits of our priority work coming out of 90 Days of Innovation: Ready Every Day,” says Florizone.

“By approaching our work differently than we have in the past, we plan to avoid deficits in the future. Most importantly, our change in approach will help employees and physicians provide the right care in the right place and time. By focusing on doing what is right for patients, families, residents and clients, and making the right investments, we know the path we are on will lead us not only to a healthier budget with better value, but better teams, and most of all, better care.”
