Free fishing Beware of phoney weekend Revenue Canada calls, scheduled Saskatoon Police warn Environment Minister Herb Cox has announced a second free fishing weekend this summer on August 29 and 30, 2015.

“Due to the extreme wildfire conditions earlier this summer, we are offering a second free fishing weekend,” Cox said. “Whether you’re a novice or an experienced angler, everyone deserves the opportunity to experience fishing at one of the beautiful lakes in our province.”

Although licences are not required during free fishing weekend for Saskatchewan residents or visitors, all other fishing regulations remain in effect, including possession limits.

Free fishing weekend does not apply in national parks and anyone planning to take fish out of the province must purchase a licence. Residents are also reminded to be respectful of any fire bans that may be in effect over the free fishing weekend.

Saskatoon Police are advising the public of numerous attempts recently to commit fraud by a caller claiming to be representing the Canada Revenue Agency.

SPS Communications has received approximately 20 calls in recent days from complainants who report receiving the phone calls. The caller claims that taxes are owed and uses threatening or aggressive language to frighten the complainants

into paying the fictitious debt. The caller demands payment by credit card or a money transfer.

If you should receive a call similar in nature, the SPS recommends hanging up and reporting the call.

Reports can be online at saskatoonpoliceservice.ca or by contacting the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. The following is a link to a recent advisory by the CRA. http:// www.cra-arc.gc.ca/nwsrm/ lrts/2015/l150610-eng.html

UFC great goes the distance at celebrity dinner

By TERRY JENSON tjenson@ccgazette.ca Pound for pound, Georges St. Pierre is known as one of the best mixed martial artists to have ever entered the Ultimate Fighting Challenge (UFC) octagon. The 28-yearold native of St-Isidore, Quebec, recorded an impressive 25 wins during his famed career and was a two-time UFC Welterweight Champion of the World.

Known affectionately by his fans around the globe as GSP, his path to success wasn’t easy and was fraught with bumps and pitfalls along the way.

Speaking Thursday night, August 13 to a capacity crowd of over 700 people at the 9th Annual Warman Sport & Cultural Village Sports Celebrity Dinner at the Legends Centre, GSP recalled as a child wanting to grow up and be a famous wrestler and follow in the footsteps of legends such as Hulk Hogan, Brett Hart and Shawn Michaels.

“It is true,” GSP began explaining after being asked by emcee Drew Remenda if there was any truth to the story that as a young boy GSP stood on his couch while watching a wrestling match and proclaimed that someday there would be a St. Pierre action figure just like Hulk Hogan.

But, as fate would have it, one video changed St. Pierre’s path and his UFC career was born.

“I was 14 or 15-years-old and already a two degree black belt in karate. My teacher had just died, so I didn’t know what I wanted to do in terms of sport,” he recalled, noting he is also not shy about revealing his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). “I was asking myself a lot of questions and I was in school and I didn’t know what to do, you know.

I was at a friend’s house for a barbecue playing in

the pool and he wrapped that tape called UFC and I watched it. I said to my friends ‘that’s what I’m going to do and become world champion someday’ and they all started laughing at me.”

His friends may have laughed at the time, but St. Pierre focused on training and seemingly less on school. Now at 5’10” and 170 lbs., St. Pierre was often bullied by others in his school and spent more time in the classroom devising ways of getting from the classroom to the bus without encountering the older and bigger bullies in his school.

“I wasn’t focusing on the right thing,” divulged St. Pierre. “And growing up I was very angry because I was not good at school. The only place I was good was in sport doing karate so I would say it’s because of karate that I stayed in the right line. I could have easily deflected and gone down a bad path. It could have been a lot worse if I didn’t have the discipline of martial arts to keep me on a straight line.”

St. Pierre also took the audience on a humorous trip back to his days as a 16-year-old not able to speak English who crossed the border from Quebec into New York to train. Told to avoid the Bronx at all costs by his father, St. Pierre eventually wound up in that very neighbourhood and found that the people were actually some of the friendliest he had ever encountered. He had managed to scrape together some money for a few trips to train with some of the best in the art of Jiu-Jitsu to help make him a more well-rounded fighter.

Admittedly not dominant in any of the mixed martial arts disciplines, St. Pierre gave some intriguing words of wisdom about his success in the UFC and how it car-

“I’m not the best at something in one area but when I fight someone I can avoid his strength and bring the fight to where he is the weakest,” explained St. Pierre. “You always want to take your opponent outside of his comfort zone. That’s the art of fighting. And it’s not only in fighting. It’s the same when you negotiate a contract, in business, in everything so you have to take that and more and apply it in any kind of situation. We call it the art of war. It’s a CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Osler streets get a serious makeover

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Osler residents are getting used to detours in the central part of town.

But nobody’s complaining.

A $2 million project involving reconstruction of three streets in Osler has meant some inconvenience for residents and businesses, but for the most part, everyone is taking it in stride, according to Osler Deputy Mayor Abe Quiring.

“There’s a lot of support for getting this work done,” said Quiring in an interview at the Osler Town Office on Thursday, August 13.

“These particular streets were in such bad shape that they had to be done this year.”

The town awarded the tender on July 6 to Paramount Paving. Construction got underway July 13.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of September if the weather cooperates.

The work involves preparing the underlying road base and laying down pavement on Pauls Crescent; as well as road base work, asphalt, curbs, gutters and sidewalk on First Street from Sixth Avenue to First Avenue; and road base construction, asphalt, curbs, gutters and sidewalks on both sides of Sixth Avenue from First Street to Third Street.

“This is extremely exciting for the town,” said Quir-

ing. “We’ve seen quite a lot of growth here in terms of new residents moving in and businesses starting up, and if that growth is going to continue we need to have the infrastructure to support it.”

Osler’s current population is estimated at about 1250 residents.

Osler Chief Administrative Officer Sandra MacArthur said additional improvements are also in the town’s long-range plans.

“The next major project is construction of the surge pond near the elementary school, which will be done next summer, in 2016,” said MacArthur. “There is quite a lot of work that needs to happen first in terms of ensuring proper drainage throughout that part of town before we are able to do all the other streets that need work.”

Solving the chronic drainage issues for Pauls Crescent, First Street and Sixth Avenue was part of the overall strategy to improve those streets, noted MacArthur.

“The geotech went in first to resolve any issues with water and then basically the roads are being entirely rebuilt to ensure a proper base is there to prevent problems in the future,” she said.

The total cost of the street improvement project is $2,176,004. The town is chipping in $540,512 from general revenues while property owners will contribute

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Paramount Paving crews are currently digging up First Street in Osler in preparation for laying pavement and installing curbs , gutters and sidewalks as part of a major road upgrade in the community $1,635,492 through local improvement fees.

Residents with frontage along the affected streets have the option of paying the total in one lump sum or in annual installments over a period of seven years.

GRANT FOR RINK

The community’s outdoor arena is also getting a major boost thanks to a grant from the federal government’s “Canada 150” program, noted Quiring.

A concrete pad will be added to the outdoor rink to allow for year-round use of the facility, he said.

Currently, the rink is utilized for about three months

He said ball hockey, basketball, rollerblading and other sports would all be able to use an outdoor rink.

The new concrete pad would cost about $100,000.

The federal grant would cover just under half of that total, with the rest of the funds raised locally.

Planning for the project can start in the spring of 2016. However, the funds from the federal program will not be released until 2017.

Warman construction activity drops slightly

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The pace of construction in Warman during the first half of 2015 was slow-

er than the same period a year earlier, according to figures provided by the City of Warman Planning and Development depart-

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

The number of single and multi-family residential homes being built in Warman over the first seven months of 2015 is down from the same period in 2014, but is still well above the numbers posted in the rest of the country Continued from page 3

ment in early August.

But compared to most of the country and even the rest of the province, things are still booming.

Warman Planning and Development Manager Brad Toth told Warman City Council during a meeting on Monday, August 10 that both the number of building permits and the value of construction in the first seven months of 2015 was down from the same period in 2014.

But the start of construction of some major projects in August, including a new elementary school, provided a significant boost to the figures.

From January 1 to August 7, 2015, a total of 341 building permits were issued in Warman with a total value of $71,838,900.

This includes 12 commercial building permits valued at $38,162,000; 103 single and multi-family residential dwelling permits valued at $29,370,000; and 226 residential improvement permits valued at $4,306,900.

During the same period last year, from January 1 to July 29, 2014, the city had 26 commercial building permits worth a total of $26,971,800. There were permits issued for 172 single and multifamily dwellings worth $42,651,900 during

that time period as well.

martensville permits

Construction companies are also taking advantage of the weather to add to the housing stock and commercial building inventory in Martensville.

Statistics from the Martensville Infrastructure and Planning Department indicate that a total of 203 permits have been issued from the beginning of January to August 4, 2015.

The total value of all permits to date this year is $24,804,784.

This includes a total of 21 single family and 32 multi-family residential dwellings; 114 residential

additions, 17 commercial, 5 government/institutional; and 45 “other” permits.

OSLER PERMITS

The Town of Osler is also growing.

In the 12-month period form August 2014 to August 2015, a total of 17 building permits were issued by the town. Of those, 14 permits were for new home construction.

The total value of the permits was $2,860,000.

All the permits were for residential dwellings, including two townhomes with four units each. The 17 permits have resulted in 14 new homes.

A year earlier, from August 2013, to August 2014, the town issued three commercial building permits.

Highway construction work continues The weekly highway construction update provided

by MHI on Friday, August 14 noted construction work on the 9 kilometer stretch of Highway 7 is proceeding on schedule. The project is expected to cost $10.4 million and is slated to be completed this fall.

HIGHWAY 16 WORK

A $28.7 million project involving 19 kilometers of grading work for the new twinned highway lanes between Saskatoon and Clavet is also on track, according to MHI. The work is scheduled for completion this fall.

The Highway 16 overpass near Idylwyld Drive in the north end of Saskatoon is expected to reopen the week of October 15.

The $2.7 million rehabilitation of the overpass bridge began June 22.

ORANGE ZONE

Motorists are urged by MHI officials to slow down in highway construction work zones.

“With more than 30 major construction projects underway in Saskatchewan motorists are reminded to watch for workers and equipment and slow down through the work zone,” stated MHI officials.

“Virtually every area of the province has some type of road work underway. Ongoing work includes 50 kilometers of upgrades on various sections of Highway 1 and grading, paving and bridge and culvert repairs

UFC champion strives for perfection in everything simple principle that you need to apply and I try to apply it well in mixed martial arts.”

While some people afflicted with OCD tend to shy away from it or blame the disorder for hampering their own lives, St. Pierre credits his OCD for making him successful in the UFC. His OCD has helped him perfect the art of mixed martial arts and keeps him focused.

Calling it the most devastating event of his life, St. Pierre’s second and final loss in the octagon came on April 7, 2007 when little known fighter Matt Serra shocked the UFC world by registering a first-round victory over St. Pierre. The result of that bout taught him a tough lesson and would bring out an even hungrier St. Pierre in the months and years to come. It would also be his last loss as a professional fighter.

In the week leading up to the Serra match, St. Pierre admitted he grew a bit lazy and didn’t train as hard as he should have, nor did he mentally prepare for what lay ahead. It wasn’t until a UFC official summoned him from the dressing room for his match that he realized he was not physically or mentally ready for Serra.

“I’m ashamed to admit I was part of the biggest upset in UFC history, on the

wrong side!” St. Pierre said, his voice growing louder.

“I wanted to be part of the biggest upset if I won but I lost, unfortunately. But it taught me a big lesson of never, never, never underestimate an opponent and since that day before every fight – the week before each fight – I get nervous, I don’t sleep well and I’m thinking, thinking, thinking because I’m afraid this humiliation (of losing to Serra) will happen again.

Despite not being in the octagon since his last match at UFC 167 on November 16, 2013, St. Pierre continues to train. He said he is in the best shape of his life primarily because he is training for fun and not for competition.

St. Pierre hasn’t ruled out a return to UFC at some point and is following the organization’s progress on drug testing and hopes to see the competitors who are violating the rules exposed publicly and punished. “(UFC) has made beautiful speeches,” he said of the drug testing policy. “I’m just waiting to see what’s going to happen…if they will join the action to the speech.

And of course, training, see what’s going to happen next.

We’ll see. I don’t want to say yes or no. It will depend on a few things.”

READERS OPINIONS Wrong place for interchange

The latest comment coming out of Warman City Hall is “while

we are okay with the Highway 305 and Highway 11 interchange proposal, we want more done with Highway 11 and Central Street”.

What a spineless cop-out by our Warman civic leaders, along with Minister Heppner, to even allow the proposed interchange to be built anywhere but at the Central Street entrance and Highway 11. Perhaps they have to be reminded that all along 10,000 Warman residents have always requested that the interchange be built at Highway 11 and Central Street.

Allowing the proposed construction site to go ahead – which by the way is closer to Osler than it is to Warman – is proof that the carnage and spilled blood due to vehicle collisions at this deadly intersection over the past 10 years was never of importance to these two governments. Plus, it goes without saying how these two governments sacrificed the safety of the voters and taxpayers in order to accommodate commercial business.

A bloody sellout and at the same time a bloody joke, really!

Gary Wolitski , Warman, SK

Where are the police when needed?

On July 24 at 6:00 p.m. I was minding my own business driving home on the very busy Highway 7 going towards Delisle.

Traffic at this time was very busy going both ways as to be expected at this time of day on this highway.

Construction has started for the four lane and traffic is moving 80km/hr. Traffic is backed up bumper to bumper both ways for as far as one can see.

I looked in my rear view mirror to do a check and lo and behold I have a semi driving right on my bumper. I kept a watch on it and was getting very nervous because he has no signs of slowing down and there are a pile of cars in front of me. I look again and now he is honking his horn at me almost touching my bumper. I have no where to go there are cars in front of me, cars coming at me and semi and a pile of cars behind me.

I have myself, my 12-year-old and one-year-old daughters in my minivan. Definitely no match for a semi!

I kept watch on this semi as he is on my tail giving very little room for error. As we approached Vanscoy I hardly believed my eyes of what I witnessed.

This semi truck driver took it upon himself to take the fate of others lives in his hands. He started to pass in a no passing zone going through Vanscoy while there is a stream of cars coming right toward him. The cars heading west have no room to pull over and let him back in the lane because there is a guard rail and the cars coming from the west are staring at this semi straight on. With quick thinking and little time to react, all the eastbound cars pull over to avoid being hit.

I felt that this driver needed to be taken off the road as he was clearly not a safe driver and had no regard for another human being.

I called 911. The dispatcher asked me some questions and said she would send someone out immediately. She asked if I was okay as I was clearly shaken up. She instructed me to keep my phone on as an officer would be calling me.

Sure enough one did but, not to my surprise, he was no help.

He proceeded to te ll me that they have no officers out in the Delisle area so there was nothing they could do. He said he himself was in Warman where they are dispatched from. I asked him if they could dispatch someone from Rosetown but somehow there was no officers there, either. He then proceeded to say “what do you want me to do about it?”

Well I am not a person of the law but is it not his job to figure that one out? You have just had a report of what could have been a very tragic turn of events and all you say is “what do you want done?”

Every day people are killed in accidents that shouldn’t happen.

Accidents that are caused by careless drivers.

The government puts up signs for people to report impaired drivers. What’s the point? Nothing gets done. Or there are no RCMP to be seen.

I guess I write this with concern. What does one do to make sure they are safe on the roads, in their homes or out in the public when the people who are supposed to be protecting us are 45 minutes away and respond with “what would you like me to do?”

no longer be the dominant political issue in many rural ridings. Many rural seats are dominated by a few larger communities or smaller cities like Weyburn, Estevan, Swift Current, Kindersley or Moosomin. It is oil that has become the major economic activity in these communities ... and often the source of political discussion as well.

So it was with more than passing interest that rural Saskatchewan listened to the NDP’s star Toronto Centre candidate Linda McQuaig say: “A lot of the oilsands oil may have to stay in the ground” if Canada is to meet its greenhouse gas emission/climate change targets.

McQuaig went on to say: “We (and NDP government) will know that better once we properly put in place a climate change accountability system of some kind … once we have a proper review process for our environmental projects like pipelines.”

Admittedly, there are no oilsands in southern Saskatchewan. In fact, there are even times when the conventional oil industry is often at odds with the farming community when it comes

to things like lease holder rights.

Nor does this automatically mean, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservatives are suggesting, that the NDP has a “not-so hidden agenda” to shut down the oilsands and put 100,000 Albertans out of work. One wonders if even Albertans; who recently voted in an NDP government under Rachel Notley; believe that.

But Harper and his Conservatives are having a hay day with McQuaig’s comments.

As for rural voters, they would seem very legitimate to ask the NDP what a “proper review process for our environmental projects like pipelines” under an NDP government really means. Might it mean a federal NDP government taxing oil in way that hurts drilling in places like the Bakken Play?

Sure the NDP gained huge ground under Jack Layton to become official Opposition and seem now poised to add to their seat total this election.

But there are a lot of reasons why those gains won’t likely come in rural Saskatchewan seats.

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.

RAISING THE ROOF Martensville Catholic church expands in response to growth of congregation

By HILARY KLASSEN hilarylklassen@gmail.com With churches shrinking left and right, and some closing their doors, it’s almost surprising to hear of one that is expanding. But that’s exactly what’s happening at a parish in Martensville. Growth in the region has translated into growth in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, where an expansion is currently underway.

“Our facility has been working but our parish has grown, and we’re finding it doesn’t really suit our varied needs anymore,” said Abby Schnaider, interior designer for the project. “With parish growth and having primarily young families here, we’re needing some extra space.”

Building a new sanctuary will provide a beautiful larger space for the parish to meet, allowing the existing church to serve as the hall and overflow space. “It will be visually open between the two spaces. We have a whole set of doors and sliding windows to divide the space, with audio between the two,” said Schnaider. “We’ll have this option when times get busy and we’re hoping our numbers grow as our space grows.”

However, it’s not easy raising funds to build a church with a predominantly younger demographic. The parish was fortunate to be able to sell some land to kickstart the building fund. Some sizeable donations, new commitments to sacrificial giving and guidance from their bishop led to a decision to build a proper church and not cut too many corners.

“It is important that we give to the church,” said Schnaider. “Throughout history we’ve always had magnificent churches and modest homes and now everyone has a magnificent home and a modest church. We’ve got it backwards.”

The framed structure of the new sanctuary outlines the shape and size of this meeting space, which will hold 320 parishioners. Currently, blue sky is visible through the roof trusses. At the front, a 26 foot high by 4.5 foot wide piece of stained glass will be a focal

point, with imagery and symbolism drawn from over 2000 years of Catholic church history.

“It will be all traditional stained glass, beautiful imagery, beautiful colours, with the window behind to provide natural light. Donna Delaney from our parish designed the stained glass, and Creative Glass & Mirror is building it,” said Schnaider. The talents of both are greatly appreciated.

Others from the parish are pitching in to build various aspects of the project, such as altar furniture and the Stations of the Cross.

Schnaider said people are called upon to give of their time, treasure and talent and help as they are able.

One way the parish saved money was by not hiring an architectural firm. “We hired structural, mechanical and electrical engineers, plus a draftsperson and a spec writer, so all those people combined, that’s where, collectively, we saved $200,000,” she said. This team was drawn from the parish, making the design process more streamlined. “It’s nice to design your own home because you know what you want and what you need and for us, it saved a lot of communication.”

Schnaider’s mother, Roseanne King, did the initial floor planning and Sam Farthing contributed architecturally. Phase one is this new gathering space and phase two will be supporting spaces, such as extra meeting rooms, an office for Father Patrick Ampani and additional washrooms.

In addition to expanding their physical space, the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish also hopes to expand the number of parishioners. “It’s exciting because, at the same time as we are building a church, people from our parish, including our parish priest, are attending a conference right now, about how to go from a parish that is kind of maintaining our parishioners and programs to a parish that’s growing. It will be good to have the new space but also fresh new ideas and programs that we’ll be able to offer people,” said Schnaider.

Bezaire wins ladies golf title

By MARC SMITH of Discover Moose Jaw www.discovermoosejaw.com Warman’s Tammy Bezaire played the 2015 Saskatchewan Senior Women’s Golf Provincial Championship with a heavy heart.

Her father-in-law, Dick Friesen, passed away just before the tournament started and she decided to play in his honour. She came away with an emotional win on Friday, August 7, claiming her first provincial title with a tenstroke win over Moose Jaw’s Lorie Boyle.

“The funeral was today, I wanted to be there for my husband, but I did this for (her father-in-law),” Bezaire said after finishing her final round at the Hillcrest Golf Club.

Bezaire fired an eightover 79 to finish tied with Kim Walker, who was playing the tournament as a pre-senior and not eligible for the title. Bezaire was plus-21 for the tournament.

“It feels really good, I’m quite pleased with the week,” she said. “I drove the ball really well this week and my irons were very good, but my putting suffered.”

Bezaire entered the final round with an eightshot cushion over Boyle for the title and she was able to play a consistent round that included two birdies on the back-nine, which helped her bounce back from a double bogey on the first hole.

She said she felt pretty comfortable heading into the final round, but knew Boyle would push hard.

“Anything can happen in a round of golf with wet conditions and Lorie is a

great player, so there’s always that fear that she’s going to sneak up and bite you from behind,” said Bezaire.

“I just tried to keep the ball in play, that’s all I tried to do all week long. I’m not a long ball hitter, but my mid-irons have always been good.”

Boyle shot a ten-over 81 during the final round. After posting a five-over 40 on the front-nine, she was sitting even for the back-nine heading into the final two holes before triple bogeying 17 and putting up a double on 18.

“I thought I played pretty good,” said Boyle. “I had a double on the front, which I was not happy with. Then I came around on the back and was playing just great until I hit 17.”

After not playing much golf throughout the season heading into the tournament, Boyle said she’s happy with the progress that she saw in her game over the three rounds.

“My second shots into the greens they came better today, it was much better,” she said.

Bezaire, Boyle and Jo-Anne Schiller will now be heading to the Canadian Senior Women’s Championship at the Sawmill Creek Golf Resort and Spa in Camlachie, ON from Aug. 26-28.

The other two Moose Jaw golfers taking part in the tournament were Shelley Ruecker, who finished in eighth place at 46-over after shooting a 16-over 87 on Friday, and Bev Barber, who came in 14th, but shot her best round of the tournament on Friday, posting an 89.

Delisle’s Pee Wee Diamond Dogs cap off great season

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Winning a Pee Wee Western Canadian Softball Championship title is not an opportunity that comes very often for rural Saskatchewan teams.

Usually the glory is saved for teams from bigger centres. Although the Delisle Diamond Dogs didn’t medal at the Pee Wee Western Canadian Championship held in Winnipeg recently, they more than likely gained respect from Western Canadian teams and teams from Ontario.

The Diamond Dogs were the second Saskatchewan team selected to go to the Western

Canadian Championship after finishing second overall in the province. They also won the league title and placed second in the league’s President’s Tournament during the regular season.

Head coach Lyndon Downing said the tournament was the first time the players witnessed high level competition from a national perspective.

Despite not winning a medal, he felt his team played hard and proudly represented their province.

The Diamond Dogs went 3-2 in round-robin play, defeating two Manitoba teams 6-2 and 8-2 respectively and edged team

Ontario 13-11 in their first opportunity. The team lost 8-2 to another Ontario team and lost 14-7 to Prince Albert.

Delisle made it to the playoffs but were eliminated in a 4-3 nailbiter to British Columbia.

Prince Albert went on to win gold at the tournament.

Downing said the tournament will give his players something to build on for next year.

“They will understand more about team building, goal setting, what it takes for effort to get to the next level and preparation. I think a lot of them will now realize why practices and pre-game warm-ups are im-

WANT TO MAKE A

portant. After some time has passed all these factors will set in and they will understand what they need to do.”

Downing added he wanted his players to be proud of their accomplishment. He said coming from a community with a smaller population base from which to draw players and playing well is significant. The players wouldn’t have this experience if it wasn’t for Delisle and district’s strong community support.

“The local business community helped tremendously fundraising for our trip to Winnipeg. It was incredible and the kids were very grateful.”

High school athletics program gears up for start of a new season

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The school year doesn’t officially start until after Labour Day, but high school athletes, coaches and managers are already gearing up for the new season.

“All the sports are looking very healthy as we approach the start of September,” said Lyle McKellar, Assistant Executive Director of the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletics Association (SHSAA).

“We’re excited about another school year starting up.”

The football season gets underway early, as coaches are already holding practices to get their teams in game shape.

“Football gets going in late August, and then the soccer and volleyball seasons start on the first day of school,” said McKellar.

“Cross country athletes and golfers are also training over the summer so they can all be off and running as soon as the bell rings.”

McKellar said athletics is part of a complete education for students.

“I think the one thing that schools find is that if they are running healthy extracurricular programs, they have a very healthy school climate,” he said.

“Students that are involved in different activities feel like they’re more a part of the school and they feel

Diamond Dogs bounced at world fastball tournament

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Delisle Diamond Dogs gave it their best shot, but came up short at the 2015 International Softball Congress (ISC) men’s world fastball tournament in South Bend, Indiana last weekend.

The Diamond Dogs bolstered their lineup in a bid to win the global championship, but with over 40 teams in the mix, the competition was tough.

The Hill United Chiefs won the crown in the championship final on Saturday, August 15, beating the Toronto Gators by a score of 6-4.

The Diamond Dogs finished in 18th place with a 2-2 round robin record. The Dogs lost 2-1 to J and B Painting in their opening game on August 9. Bryan Newton was on the mound in that game for Delisle.

The Dogs rebounded to beat CPI by a score of 7-5 on August 10 (Trevor Ethier - winning pitcher) and followed that up with a 4-2 win later the same day against the Kanata Storm (Bryan Newton - winning pitcher).

But the Dogs were bounced from the tournament on August 11 when they lost 5-4 to the Hallman Twins (Bryan Newton - losing pitcher).

Other teams from Saskatchewan at the tournament included Chettys Pretty Boys, Lloydminster Dodgers, and NB Petro Hawks.

good about themselves.”

McKellar said athletics is more than just about winning.

“We really believe in the fact that many lessons get taught through school sports,” he said. “It’s not just skill development in the sport itself. We often talk about skills like citizenship and belonging to a team, managing your time, and all those things.”

McKellar said there are “no significant changes” in store for any of the sports that fall under the SHSAA umbrella. “There are some minor changes to the schedule for provincial cross country, but other than that it’s pretty much the same,” he said.

No new sports will be incorporated within the SHSAA schedule, he noted.

“There are lots of sports

15083MF1

out there that are increasing in popularity, like lacrosse and rugby,” he said.

“But they are well-organized under their provincial sport governing bodies, and they have healthy youth development programs.

“Besides, there’s only so much time and energy that can go into the existing sports, and we are pretty much at our full capacity

right now.”

McKellar said that while some school divisions are facing budget pressures, he’s convinced sports programs will continue to be healthy.

“The budget impacts are different for all school divisions,” he said. “If there is a drop in funding from a school division for a particular sport, then other sources of funding come to

the fore. We may begin to see more fundraising done outside the school, or it could even evolve to a kind of user-pay system.

“We’re certainly hoping it doesn’t come down to that in any of the school divisions across the province.

But people will usually find a way to keep a sports program going. It means a lot to the schools and the communities.”

Warman resident proves ‘ready, willing and able’ to do the job

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Chris Rosenthal of Warman loves going to work every morning.

He starts his day with a friendly greeting to his colleagues at the Legends Centre before beginning his rounds, cleaning the building and grounds at the multi-purpose recreational complex and the Warman Fire Hall. He fits in well and gets along with everybody.

A model employee, in fact.

“I love the work and the atmosphere,” said Chris in an interview at his workplace. “The first thing I do is clean up the garbage in the parking lot and change the bags in the garbage cans out front. Then I do a major clean up of the bathrooms every day, and make sure they’re all completely stocked and cleaned.”

It’s clear he takes pride in his work.

But folks like Chris, despite their strong work ethic and easy-going personalities, often get passed by in the hiring process because they have some sort of intellectual disability. Employers are reluctant to hire workers that they think may not be able to do the job.

And quite often, workers like Chris never even get a chance to show what they are, capable of doing.

That’s where a program called “Ready, Willing and Able” (RWA) comes in. The three-year pilot project was initiated by the Canadian Association for Community Living (CACL) and the Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance (CASDA) and their member organizations. The program (www. readywillingandable.ca), now in its second year, helps match candidates who have certain skills and strengths with employers looking for those qualities.

RWA Saskatchewan Co-

ordinator Sheila Anderson said the program is gaining traction across the country as more employers become aware of the benefits.

“We provide information and education for employers who are looking at their bottom line,” said Anderson. “There is a strong business case to be made for hiring people that are able to do the job.”

She said it’s particularly important for people looking to find work in their home communities. She works with employers in both Warman and Martensville to encourage them to look seriously at the program.

Earlier this summer, the City of Warman signed onto the program, and it’s been a good fit for everyone, according to Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence.

“We first heard about the Ready, Willing and Able program at a Warman Chamber of Commerce breakfast,” said Spence. “Sheila, came out and did a presentation and talked about the program and how individuals with intellectual disabilities are under utilized in the work force.”

Spence said city officials were impressed with how well the program is working and how positive it is for both the employee and the employer.

“Warman City Manager Stan Westby and I decided we would meet with Sheila and dig a little deeper into the program,” said Spence.

“We were inspired by the passion Sheila displayed for the program and heartfelt connection for placements she has worked with.

“Here in Warman we are about partnerships, and the way I looked at this was it is another great partnership that could reach out to another demographic in our community.”

Warman City Council and

administration were very supportive of the idea of trying the program and seeing how it could fit within the City of Warman Departments. The city interviewed four candidates for a parttime, seasonal custodial position on a six-month trial basis that ends in January, 2016. The program could be continued at that time.

“It has only been a short time since Chris was hired but he has brought with him an enthusiasm we all admire,” said Spence. “He is so grateful to have the opportunity. He is a happy-golucky man who has brought a new energy into our workplace.”

Warman Recreation and Community Services Manager Paul McGonigal said in his opinion, the program has been a resounding success so far.

“He’s a great young man he works hard, and he’s great to have around,” said McGonigal. “He’s great for our staff. Sometimes you get lost in the whole hustle and bustle of what you have going on for the day, and he brings a breath of fresh air to that. He’s always smiling and always happy. He likes to joke and kid around.”

McGonigal said the city pays Chris a regular wage for the position. There is no subsidy from any organization.

“Basically the city made a part-time job for him,” said McGonigal. “He’s helping out around the building.

He’s cleaning washrooms, picking up garbage, wiping tables, mopping floors, helping set up for special events.

He does it all. He’s right in the mix with our staff and does everything our staff are expected to do.”

McGonigal said he would recommend the program to other employers.

“It’s been a good fit for us,” he said.

Skate Park on track for fall opening

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Construction work on the Warman Skate Park is still on track for a September opening date, despite some recent downpours.

Warman Recreation and Community Services Manager Paul McGonigal said the skate park should be ready in three or four weeks.

“The pouring of the concrete forms is moving right along,” said McGonigal in

an interview on Wednesday, August 12. “The construction crews were a little ahead of schedule, but the recent rains have knocked them back a little so that they’re just on schedule now.”

McGonigal said the crews are doing the last pours of the “shotcrete” forms that will give the skate park its distinctive curves, dips and drops. Shotcrete is sprayed under pressure through a nozzle and adheres to a

“It’s a more pliable type of concrete that is basically blown in under pressure so it conforms to whatever shape the form has,” said McGonigal. “It’s actually very strong because it has fibres that allow it to be manipulated so all the dips and bends and curves are filled in.

Experience the flavour favourites that Warman restaurants and food services have to offer at Warman’s Open For Business Exhibition

September 25th & 26th

Making a difference one sales booth at a time

By WAYNE SHIELS essenceofsask@gmail.com Sara Pilon, a 14 year old student at Warman High School organized a trade show at the Legends Centre on Saturday, August 16 as an initial fundraiser for her planned Me to We trip to Kenya in 2016.

The Me to We organization empowers young people to make a change internationally and locally, inspiring them to take action focusing less on ‘me’ and more on ‘we’. The goal is to encourage the develoment of informed and compassionate citizens who focus on creating a better world every day. Me to We supports the work of Free the Children, which has, through its many programs, helped over a million people around the world by building more than 500 schools and providing clean water and sanitation systems.

Trips led by Me to We give young people a chance to experience the world, unite with different cultures and leave a positive legacy of change. Participants work with the people they are helping.

Traveling and helping others is a real motivation for Sara.

“I always wanted to go to Africa,” she said. “When I was younger living in P.A. a person I knew went on a missions trip to there. We went to a local sporting goods store and got a bunch of soccer balls and I got to pick out hair ties for the girls. He brought back some pictures and I saw the girls wearing what I had brought.

It made me happy because I

knew they didn’t have any of that.”

Her passion for helping others developed at a young age. She went with her mom to help out at a soup kitchen when her family lived in Prince Albert. “I remember they would let me do little things like buttering buns,” she said.

This has continued since her family moved to Warman as she now goes with her youth group to help out at The Friendship Inn and The Lighthouse in Saskatoon.

She recalled in Grade 5 her class was required to write a paper on what we could do to help the community. “I turned mine into a project where I volunteered at the Warman Care Home for the school year and over the summer.”

Sara has a passion for social justice and is starting to get more involved in politics. “My youth leader is big in the NDP so I am thinking of being part of their youth program.”

Her father, David Pilon, spoke of his daughter’s initiative: “Her goal is to go to Kenya. She is quite organized. This came together in two weeks. The trade show is a building block towards the goal of registering for the trip to Kenya at the end of June, 2016. The trade show was to make sure we were on the right path.”

Amanda Walters, who in addition to being one of the vendors at the trade show helped to promote the event, said she was inspired by the teenager’s action.

“I saw her posting on Facebook and I wanted to help and support her every way I can in fundraising, so I helped promote her on social media. I even made a Warman and Area Trade Show group so she could get her trade show organized and find vendors,” said Walters.

Sara was very thankful to local businesses for their support.

She said,“This turned out really well, and I hope to have another one close to Christmas time. I’m so happy how the community has come together and I have had people help me out.”

Construction crews are pouring the concrete forms that will give the Warman Skate Park its distinctive curves, dips and drops Continued from page 12

Public urged to stay out of construction area until skate park ready as well that gets into all the little nooks and crannies to give you a really solid piece of concrete.”

Like the conventional flat concrete pours, which are also part of the park, the shotcrete uses steel rebar reinforcement. The concrete pads are being poured in large sections so the separation space between the pads can absorb the expansion and contraction of the concrete due to weather variations.

McGonigal said while the opening date is coming up quickly, the city is still

having issues with people sneaking onto the construction site at night and disrupting the process.

“We’re still having issues with kids opening up the fence and getting in,” said McGonigal. “Right now it’s not a big concern because they can’t really ride it, but it’s going to be a big concern when they start doing the flat concrete work and the kids want to try it while it needs to be set.

“They need to stay out.

Otherwise it could set everything back a long time, depending on how much dam-

age is done and how much work the crews have to redo.

That costs money as well as time.”

The fence is up for a reason, said McGonigal.

“We’re asking kids not to jump the fence or push it over or open it,” he said.

“We know everyone is excited about getting in, and we appreciate that. That’s why we’re building it in the first place, to meet those needs.

“We’re just asking people to be patient with us for a few more weeks until it opens and then they can ride it every day.”

McGonigal said the city plans to have a grand opening sometime in September.

“We plan to bring out a DJ and have music,” he said.

“We’ll also have instructors come out and give lessons, and also have some competitions.”

Prairie Oasis Park upgrades will continue into the new year with construction of a toboggan hill, an outdoor hockey rink complete with lights and a washroom/change room facility.

The building will also house a zamboni and provide a source of water for flooding.

Twin City Angels win silver at western championship

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The Twin City Angels U14 Girls will regard this season as their silver year after coming in second at both provincials and westerns.

The Angels went 3-3 in the round robin at the Western Championship held in Winnipeg, Aug 6-8 with a 14-7 win over B.C.’s South Delta Invaders, a 11-1 pounding of the Manitoba Interlake Phillies and a 7-5 nail biter over the Manitoba Thunder in seven innings.

As a result of a three-way tie for fourth place between the Angels, Calgary Kaizen and Manitoba Thunder, two tie breaker games had to be played to decide a quarterfinal matchup.

The Angels were up to the task, blanking the Kaizers 9-0 in Game 1 August 8.

They doubled the Thunder by a of score 6-3 later that day in game two; but the two tie-breaker wins only made the girls hungrier.

In the quarter final game, the Angels defeated Manitoba’s Smitty Terminators 5-3, and shut out Edmonton’s River City Hornets in the semi-final leading up to the Western Championship final, which the Angels unfortunately lost to B.C.’s Surrey Storm 5-0.

Angels coach Jason Larner said in terms of the skill set on his team it was pretty balanced, which allowed them to have so much success this year.

“We can play lock down defence, we had really

strong depth at pitching at all positions,” said Larner.

The girls also had a lot of heart.

“One thing about the girls that I was fortunate to coach this year was they had no quit in them. In some of the games, even in the westerns when we were down 3-4 runs half way through the game, these girls didn’t think the game was over.”

The Angels went 12W2L in the Saskatoon Minor Softball League but when you look at their overall record Larner said it is more like 35W-11L-5T, which he said is a remarkable.

“They battled though perseverance, injuries and challenges that will go far beyond the diamond. These are a great group of girls.

They all come from different walks of life but they bring it all together and have the same common goal. The same interest in the sport of softball, so it all worked for them,” said Larner.

Only one of the 13 girls from this year’s team, Osler’s Megan Laskowski, will be returning next year.

It’s a year to remember for Larner “For us to have try-outs Findin out more at back February and have justblinkmobile.com 25 kids try out for our U14 girls program and be able to get the results we got with about 13 girls from Martensville and Warman.

It is phenomenal and a true testament to the development of the Twin City Angels program.”

Saskatoon economy gets B+ rating from regional economic authority Based on a full analysis of the economy thus far in 2015, the SREDA Economic Forecasting & Analysis team gives the Saskatoon and region economy a B+ rating.

The local economy isn’t growing quite as rapidly as it once was, but it still ranks at the top of its class.

Moderate growth continues in the midst of sector challenges, and local businesses maintain a high level of confidence in future business performance and economic conditions.

Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Au-

thority (SREDA) CEO Alex Fallon addressed a crowd at the Saskatoon Club on Tuesday morning, sharing some of the major contributing factors to the success of our local economy, and SREDA’s role in creating economic growth.

Provincially, Saskatchewan leads the country with the lowest unemployment rate for 21 straight months.

In Saskatoon, the unemployment rate has jumped slightly due to the labour force increase outpacing the number of jobs created.

Local GDP continues to grow, with more than ten

different sectors contributing significantly to economic health. Sizable GDP growth--while major sectors such as oil and gas are facing challenges--is further credit to the depth and diversification of our economy.

A full quarterly economic update report with up-todate figures and analysis is available at SREDA.com SREDA has seen increased interest from companies expanding their operations into Saskatoon, and the entrepreneurial culture in the region continues to grow.

“Entrepreneurs see op-

portunities in our economy and that is why they are choosing to start their businesses here,” Fallon says.

SREDA provides assistance to entrepreneurs throughout Saskatchewan through Square One (SquareOneSask.ca), an entity that has served over 2,000 clients this year so far.

“The Saskatoon economy continues to perform well and it’s a great time to be starting or growing a business in the region,” adds Fallon.

“Going forward we anticipate continued growth in

2015 and beyond, though at a more measured pace.”

Fallon also shared a midyear performance update for the organization and announced that SREDA is on track to report a return on investment for the first time in its history.

SREDA has helped attract significant business and investment to the region, supported local companies’ growth through the City of Saskatoon Business Development Tax Incentive Policy, promoted the region to attract new residents, and continues to work with its regional members to plan

ABOUT SREDA

The Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA) helps grow the local economy through six strategies: providing economic information and analysis to aid business planning; attracting new businesses; helping local companies grow; supporting entrepreneurs (through Square One); coordinating regional economic development planning; and, marketing the Saskatoon region as the best place to live, work, and invest.
