Youth faces long list of charges after stolen car stopped near Dundurn
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A 16-year-old youth is facing multiple charges including possession of stolen property and possession of a dangerous weapon following an arrest south of Saskatoon earlier this month. Police are still looking for another youth suspect who remains at large. Saskatoon RCMP Staff Sgt. Greg Abbott said officers received a call in the late evening hours of September 10 about a suspicious vehicle in the RM of Dundurn. “Officers responded and located the suspect vehicle,” said Abbott. “The vehicle fled, along with a second suspect vehicle, and the RCMP requested Saskatoon
Police Service Air Support, SPS personnel, and RCMP Police Dog Services.” Police followed the vehicle on rural roads to Highway 11, where the vehicle stopped and a lone 16-yearold driver of the vehicle was arrested. The second suspect vehicle was located abandoned. Both vehicles were determined to have been stolen from Saskatoon. Abbott said the ongoing
investigation over the past week has resulted in numerous additional charges being laid against two young offenders. One youth – who remains at large and an arrest warrant has been issued for – is facing 10 charges including Theft of Auto, Theft of Property, Possession of Stolen Property, and Possession of a Weapon Dangerous to the Public.
Pedestrian struck and killed A 43-year-old man has died from injuries sustained after he was hit by a half-ton truck in Saskatoon’s north end on September 15. Saskatoon Police Service said the collision happened on Wanuskewin Road, just north of 71st Street just
after 8:00 p.m. The adult male was walking southbound along Wanuskewin Road when he was struck by a half-ton truck traveling in the same direction. The man, who’s identity is not being released, was pronounced dead at the scene.
School division provides update on capital projects Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) released a capital projects update for five of its schools during a board meeting on September 8.
for students in October. Site work for both of the new elementary schools in Warman and Martensville is underway.
martensville
hanley
A construction and renovation project at Martensville High School is almost complete with students expect to move into the new addition by the end of October. The new part of the high school is attached to the new Martensville Athletic Pavilion. The extensive renovation of the older part of the high school building is underway and will take another year to complete. Three new portables will be added to Valley Manor Elementary School. One of these relocatables was ready for the start of the new school year with the other two relocatables scheduled to be occupied in October. A relocatable for Venture Heights Elementary School is also expected to be ready
PSSD had a number of emergency projects underway throughout the summer. At Hanley Composite School, the entire elementary, central core and high school corridors have been structurally restored. The only area that remains to be restored is the mezzanine. In the central core and high school wings, electric heat has been replaced with a boiler system.
Aberdeen
At Aberdeen Composite School, four closed classrooms are under construction. Six classrooms will remain open with temporary shoring. Structural restoration of the high school entrance, which was damaged during a severe thunderstorm in July, is almost
complete. Extensive repairs to the school’s roof have required the use of a crane.
Hague
A second male youth appeared in Saskatoon Youth Court on the morning of September 18. This was his third court appearance and he faces 26 Criminal Code charges including: two counts of Break-in to residences, Possession of Stolen Property (four counts), Theft (six counts), Mischief (five counts), three
counts of Breach of Conditions of an Undertaking, three counts of Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of a Weapon Dangerous to the Public, and two counts of Failing to Stop for Police. Abbott said in the course of responding, both the RCMP and SPS take all possible precautions in miti-
gating risk to public safety. Fortunately no one was injured in this incident. “Remember to lock your vehicles and homes, regardless of whether they are in a rural or municipal environment,” said Abbott. “Police would also like to thank the public for vigilance and support in following up on suspicious activity.”

Corman Park okays dairy farm expansion By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A discretionary use application to expand a dairy operation near Dalmeny was approved by the RM of Corman Park Council at its regular meeting on Monday, September 21. The approval allows Legend Dairy Ltd, owned by Andrew and Laura Vanderkooi, to expand their operation from 100-300 animal units to 301-600 animal units. The farm is located on 160 aces that is zoned agricultural, but it is less than one mile from the boundaries of the Town of Dalmeny. The application complied with the RM’s zoning bylaws.
Several landowners in the immediate vicinity of the farm voiced opposition at the meeting to the expansion of the intensive livestock operation (ILO), citing the smell from manure spreading in nearby fields. They also said the expansion of the operation, located so close to a growing town, would depress land values and discourage new residents from moving in. Health concerns were also cited. Others in the public gallery at the meeting supported the expansion. While some opponents of the expansion are RM landowners, others live within the boundaries of the
Town of Dalmeny. The RM of Corman Park distributed notices of the application to all rural landowners within a one mile radius of the farm. Because the town itself is within that radius, the notice was sent to the town office and dealt with by the elected council. Some town residents were upset they had not been directly notified by the town. Dalmeny Town Council reviewed the application and responded to the RM. While expressing some concern about the smell from manure spreading, currently done in the spring and fall, the town supported the application. Dalmeny town council-
or Joel Mireau told the Corman Park meeting that he was of the understanding that manure would be spread on fields further away from the town. The dairy farm currently has a long-standing agreement with the town to use treated water from the community’s lagoon for irrigation. Andrew Vanderkooi told council that he is using a manure management system designed to reduce odours. “I can understand people’s concerns,” said Vanderkooi. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Fraudulent CRA calls on the rise, RCMP warns
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Saskatchewan residents have already been defrauded of “tens of thousands of dollars” as a result of fraudulent phone calls claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) since mid-August. And the number of complaints, as well as the number of victims, is climbing rapidly, according to RCMP Inspector Donovan Fisher, the officer in charge of Integrated Organized Crime North, the police branch investigating the frauds. At a news conference at the RCMP’s Saskatoon headquarters on Thursday, September 17, Fisher said RCMP F Division received a total of 88 complaints directly related to fraudulent CRA calls in the month of August. Of those 88 calls, 84 involved the caller requesting an amount of money that is less than $5,000, while the other four requested amounts in excess of $5,000. The calls appear to be random, said Fisher. The caller claims to be a police officer calling on behalf of the CRA and demands that the victim immediately transfer a certain amount of money electronically or face the threat of arrest. “The caller is intimidating, convincing and often times forceful,” said Fisher. “There are several versions of this type of fraud, including a voice message providing a callback number for the alleged police officer.” Fisher said complaints about the fraudulent CRA calls began to surface in mid-August. Since then, complaints have come in from 45 RCMP detachments across the province. Two complaints each have been reported in Martensville and Warman; four in Rosthern; and two in the Saskatoon RCMP detachment area. “We initially identified two victims that came forward and who were ultimately defrauded of just over $10,000,” said Fisher. “Additional victims continue to come forward. Since August there have been several more victims who have identified themselves, and the potential exists to have many more victims.” Fisher said police forces across the province are cooperating in the investigation. He urged the public to be suspicious of any unsolicited or unexpected calls from someone claiming to be from a service provider. “We want to encourage people to ask questions,” said Fisher. “You have the right to ask questions.. don’t volunteer any personal information yourself. If it’s a legitimate call they will already have that information.” Fisher said if the caller becomes belligerent, threatening or aggressive, this is a “big red flag” because “professionals working in legitimate organizations will not behave in this manner.” He urged the public not to trust links in e-mails because they often lead to fraudulent websites designed to gather personal information. He said while victims of this fraud scam and the dozens of other ongoing scams currently making the rounds CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Sask Central Victim Services hits the ground running in first year
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A police-supported victim services agency based in Martensville has handled over 30 cases since it officially opened in April But the need is growing. Sask Central Victim Services (SCVS) coordinator Sheri Watkins provided an overview of the agency’s role and workload at the Martensville City Council regular meeting on Tuesday, September 15. In her presentation, Watkins said five of the files involving victims of crime or traumatic events are in Martensville, while another 20 involved residents of surrounding municipalities including Warman, Langham, Dalmeny, Osler,
Pike Lake and Corman Park. The remaining five files are in communities in the Kindersley area. Watkins said SCVS has come a long way since she was first hired and the groundwork for the agency was laid in February of this year. “Our mission is to help victims,” she explained. “Not just victims of crime, but also traumatic events like suicide or house fires. We offer support and information and refer people to agencies that can meet their needs. We also provide victims of crime with information on the investigation so that they are kept in the loop. We assess victims’ needs and advocate for
them; help them navigate the legal system and court process.” Watkins works under a board of directors that includes Tony Shumilak (Chair) of Saskatoon, Gene Motruk (Vice-chair) of Biggar, Jeannie Coe (Secretary) of Saskatoon, Sylvia Maljan of Unity, Ivan Gabrysh of Warman, John EnnsWind of Kindersley, RCMP Staff Sgt. Kevin Weber of the Warman-Martensville RCMP detachment, RCMP NCO Kevin Williamson and RCMP Sgt. Grant Rusk of Unity. Watkins said an administrative assistant for the office in Martensville has been hired; as well as two assistant coordinators, one
based in Kindersley/Eston and the other in Humboldt. While the assistant administrator based in Kindersley/ Eston, Andrea Kletzel, has received her security clearance, the other two employees are still awaiting final clearance. “We’ve started providing services on the west side of the region,” said Watkins. “Right now, Andrea and I are focusing on volunteer recruitment. We currently have five volunteers who are awaiting security clearance and I have a lot of other applicants, but I haven’t been able to meet with them yet. I’ve also met with all the RCMP detachment com-
manders in the region.” Watkins is currently working on developing training materials for volunteers in cooperation with the Saskatoon Police Ser-
vice’s victim services agency. She said the group is also working closely with the Valley West Community Justice Committee based in this area.
RFQ released for Warman, Martensville highway overpasses Major roadway infrastructure improvements at Martensville and Warman are one step closer to reality. The provincial government released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the proposed design-build project on Friday, September 18. “The two overpasses will improve safety and alleviate congestion in the growing communities of Martensville and Warman,” Highways and Infrastructure
Minister Nancy Heppner said. “We’ve undertaken public consultations and finalized a functional plan. With the RFQ released, we are one step closer to building.” The functional plan includes an overpass on Highway 12 at Martensville’s Main Street and an overpass on Highway 11 connecting to Highway 305 at the north end of Warman. During the RFQ, the min-
istry will shortlist three proponents who will then proceed to the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage currently planned for late 2015. The ministry will review each proposal to ensure they are compliant and then award the contract to the preferred proponent. The ministry is planning to hold open houses in late October to provide interested residents an opportunity to view project designs. Continued from page 3

tion in order to further our investigations and educate the public to prevent future frauds,” said Fisher. He said people should “trust their instincts.” “If something sounds suspicious or too good to be true, it likely is.” Fisher said if anyone receives a call like this, they should take note of what the caller says and report that to police. He said tracing the origin of these fraudulent calls is challenging because technology allows callers to reroute calls across different countries and continents. They also use fake caller ID numbers that look like they are local or from within Canada.

“We currently broadcast it but we are trying to work it in as soon as possible. We are following a manure management plan.” The farm currently has a herd of 210 milking cows, said Vanderkooi. With the expansion, the operation should hold between 300 and 350 heifers. Reeve Judy Harwood said the RM council has to be cognizant of the requirements of agricultural operations. Final approval of the expansion now rests in the hands of provincial regulators.

Federal government failing to deliver the message to Canadians
COMMENTARY
Each week more than 1,000 English and French community newspapers just like the Clark’s Crossing Gazette go about the business of telling stories that matter to the communities they serve. We are at your rinks and schools. We are at your school board and council meetings. We are at the scene when tragedy strikes. We celebrate your milestones. Our job is to cover the rural Saskatoon region, warts and all. And we are good at it. We are in cities and towns big and small. Some community newspapers circulate well in excess of 100,000 copies. Some are in the hundreds. It may surprise you that each week, more than 20 million copies of community newspapers are distributed across the country. Independent research shows that more than 70 per cent of Canadians read their community paper. Despite our collective strength, ours is a medium easy to ignore. Because we focus on Canada one community at a time, we lack the sex appeal of other media. We’ve seen our share of federal government advertising gradually erode over the years. Our regional and national associations have met with government MPs, opposition MPs, cabinet ministers and senior bureaucrats to promote our case. We are always met with courtesy and a promise that things will get better. Well things are not getting better. So despite it being contradictory to everything we believe in journalistically, the time has come to tell you. In short, the federal government is all but ignoring your community newspapers like the Clark’s Crossing Gazette. We believe this means the federal government is ignoring you and your community’s right to be informed about programs and services offered by the Government of Canada. In the last fiscal year, the federal government spent $75 million on advertising. More than $26 million of that went to TV ads, while another $15.5 million went to Internet advertising – an industry dominated by American-based companies like Google and Facebook. Creating ads and paying ad agencies ate away another $10 million. Radio advertising cost just under $7 million. By comparison, community newspapers saw a paltry $867,000 in total advertising from Ottawa – or an average of about $25 per week per newspaper. The way in which your government uses your money to communicate with you is very telling. TV and Internet ads work to build brand, not to inform. Your community newspaper generates debate and serves as a forum for discussion – and is also one of the few Continued on Page 9 | Feds failing to deliver message

Unfeeling to steal ornaments from cemetery I just lost my wife a short time ago. For as long as I’ve known her, she always had a great love for animals and birds. She loved to feed birds, and as she was feeding them, they would actually sit beside her and in front of her and some would even eat right out of her hand. She loved birds of all kinds and they loved her, too. This was very touching and beautiful to witness. So, in her memory, I searched around and found three different ornaments of birds and I placed them on her monument in the Warman Memorial Gardens. I also placed an ornament of Jesus on

the cross. These were nice, tasteful ornaments and were meant as a tribute to a loved one that is dearly missed. It was very distressing, then, to find that someone had stolen all these ornaments from her monument. I have to ask: who can be so unfeeling as to steal from a cemetery? Whoever you are, all I can say is, enjoy the beautiful ornaments. But at the same time, you should feel a little ashamed of yourself; well, actually, you should feel very ashamed of yourself. John S.

Trudeau deficits not the answer Can someone tell me whatever happened to the quaint old notion that it’s actually the government’s job to balance the budget? I ask this not necessarily on my behalf, but on behalf of Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, who seems rather dismissive of the notion. (Although, Trudeau may not be the only one. Here in Saskatchewan, we now see the much-admired Saskatchewan Party government borrowing $700 million for what is now a deficit budget to help pay for things like a by-pass being built outside of Regina in possibly the wrong place.) But I am also asking this question to people all too aware of consequences of not balancing the books. After all, it’s unlikely anyone understands such consequences better than the people of rural Saskatchewan, who paid dearly in the 1990s for the deficit failures of 1980s Progressive Conservatives. At issue is the very good news from Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government that the final 2014-15 budget numbers show an unanticipated $1.9-billion federal budget surplus. Coupled with the 2015-16 budget update also showing a surplus, Harper and the Conservatives may now have an answer to much of the legitimate criticism they received during this election campaign. Unfortunately, this seems lost on Trudeau, who is now proposing three years of deficits to pay for their $60-billion infrastructure spending campaign promise.

Provincial Politics “Of the different deficits out there, the fiscal deficit isn’t the one that concerns Canadians,” Trudeau claimed. Well, maybe this is so. But government is about making choices that produce balanced budgets. And lest there is still any doubt of that, ask rural Saskatchewan people who suffered greatly for past deficits. For those who may be too young to recall, no one took a bigger hit in the 1990s under the NDP premier Roy Romanow’s deficit reduction strategy than rural Saskatchewan voters. The closure of 52 rural hospitals, the lack of money for highways and schools, the increase in education property taxes, cuts to the urban and rural revenue sharing pools and cancellation of the GRIP contracts with farmers were just some of the hits rural people took. One can argue until the cows come home whether these cuts were the right ones. It’s obvious how most rural people still feel about them. Today, there is not one, single rural NDP MLA. But while New Democrats might have borne the political brunt for these decisions – and rightfully so given it was the NDP that made these decisions – few would argue that they were made for any other reason than to deal with deficit
and debt. And given that the NDP government was still rewarded with 16 years in office; the third longest tenure in Saskatchewan political history and longest in 50 years; one can also argue that the NDP were actually well rewarded for their fiscal diligence. Now, let us put such notions in the context of today’s federal politics. It remains a mystery to many in this country how Stephen Harper and his Conservatives are still in this game at all in this election campaign. Until the most recent budget news, the Harper Conservatives were in danger of having presented seven consecutive deficit budgets; hardly what one would call a testimonial to solid fiscal stewardship. Also recently came the news that Canada was dealing with its second recession since Harper came to power, suggesting that the Harper government budget choices haven’t always helped a floundering Canadian economy. And then there is the lack of democratic accountability, including the Senate mess that has been the Mike Duffy trial. But if Canadians – voters beyond rural areas and the west that remain the bedrock for the party – are somewhat more comfortable with Harper and company, it may be because of their stance on things like deficits. Or at least, this might be the lesson that Trudeau and the Liberals will have to learn.
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.

Aberdeen plans for sustainable growth
By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca A revision of the Town of Aberdeen’s official community plan will make it easier for grand parents to live with family instead of the option of living in a retirement facility. In their new OCP, which was given provincial approval back in April, a provision in the plan would label garden, garage or secondary suites as discretionary use. Susan Thompson, administrator for the Town of Aberdeen, said it is a provision residents have requested for a long time.
“A garden suite would be a separate building altogether. It has restrictions as far as the size. There would be certain stipulations in regard to how that could happen,” said Thompson. Other changes in the new plan require residents to apply for a development permit to install fencing. Fabric buildings will now require building and development permits and residential lots will be larger at 30 feet compared to their old restriction of 25. Thompson said the Town worked with Crosby Hanna and Associates to help devel-
op the town’s new plan. And while changes in the new plan haven’t been drastic, the most important need for the town is a new lagoon. She said the town applied to the New Building Canada’s Small Communities Funding plan for assistance in building the estimated $3 million project. Although no requested funding announcement has been officially made as of yet Thompson said the town will be forced to raise money for the new lagoon out of taxes, which she said could take longer. Thompson said another
major project the town will be looking into in the future is a new water plant generator and hopefully an expansion of the town’s reservoir. “We are currently developing an asset management plan that will help us with deciding what areas of town need infrastructure upgrades. It is something we need to be working on as far as our 10 year plan goes. “There will be administrator training and hiring of consultants to be able to develop that plan based on the information we have already collected with our tangible assets.”
Communities still waiting for New Building Canada funding
By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Municipalities surrounding Saskatoon may have to wait until after the election to see if they will be granted funding under the New Building Canada Small Communities program. The Town of Aberdeen is one of them and their need for a new lagoon would be a huge boost for the community. “The cost of the upgrade would be around $3 million because we have to also upgrade our lift station,” said town administrator Susan Thompson. In April the town received approval of their Official Community Plan from
Fun run raises money for breast cancer research
A total of 87 participants, some as young as threeyears-old, raised $5,000 to support the fight against breast cancer at the annual Boehm’s Physiotherapy “Run For Your Life” fun run event on Saturday, September 12 in Martensville. Participants had their choice of a two-kilometer run, a five-kilometer walk, five-kilometer run, or a 10-kilometer run. The two top racers were Jeff Salyn, who finished the 10-kilometer run in a time of 44:08; and Jonah Chivilo, who completed the five-kilometer run in a time of 23:35. The top overall fundraiser was five-year-old Weston Penner, who raised $715. The funds, which all stay in Saskatchewan, will be presented at the C95 Radio Marathon slated for October 16 and 17.
the province and a new lagoon will play a vital role in achieving sustainable future growth, said Thompson. In July the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan announced funding for 26 projects in communities across the province under the New Building Canada Plan’s Small Communities Fund for a total cost of $34,552,032. In those announcements water treatment plants and waste water treatment plants made up the majority of the funds allocated. The communities of Martensville, Dalmeny, Langham are also waiting for an answer on their applications. South of Saskatoon, the Town of Vanscoy’s South West Regional Water Utility has been patiently waiting to find out the status of their application. The utility has been waiting to install a potable wa-
ter system since it formed in 2010. George Kool, chair of the nine member committee for the utility, said the potable water system would cost about $17 million. He said the town currently has 190 subscribers interested in being connected to the line, which breaks down to about 300 water taps. After funding announcements were made in July, Kool said he has asked administration staff to the check the status of their application. The utility first applied for funding in December of 2014. “In our opinion the reply from the province is a positive one. Firstly only five per cent of the available funds for Saskatchewan have been allocated,” said Kool. “Secondly no large projects such as ours have been approved as of yet. Assuming the New Building Canada plan remains and
the vast majority of funds still have to be allocated we expect some significant announcements once the election is over,” said Kool.

Renovations set to begin on Martensville RCMP building
almost ready for BOARDERS
Construction crews put the finishing touches on landscaping around the new Warman Skate Park in preparation for the facility’s official opening on Sunday, October 4. The improvements include paving a walking path that connect with the south portion of Prairie Oasis Park along Industrial Road, planting trees and seeding grass.
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A tender for renovations to the RCMP building in Martensville has been awarded to Miners Construction and work should begin in the near future. City manager Scott Blevins told Martensville city council’s regular meeting on Tuesday, September 15 that the project is designed to expand the RCMP’s office space. The front portion of the building, which used to house several Martensville senior civic staff offices and the reception area, is currently vacant. The RCMP detachment is in dire need of more space. The recent establishment of the head office of Sask Central Victim Services in the building has exacerbated the situation. A regional RCMP building to serve both Warman and Martensville is currently being discussed but, in the meantime, the existing buildings in both communities are full capacity. To accommodate the RCMP’s needs, major renovations to the old civic offices are required. Blevins told council that at a “pre-construction meeting” involving the RCMP, city officials, the contractor and architect, all agreed that during the construction period – which is estimated to be about 100 days – the RCMP office in Martensville would be closed to the public. “This would assist in shortening the construction period and (avoid) having the public and staff in a work area,” said Blevins in his report to council. “The plan is to shift the front office staff to Warman and post signage for people requiring front office assistance; for example, with criminal record checks, to go to the Warman detachment. It would also apologize for any inconvenience during renovations.” Blevins said the tender came in under budget. Under the terms of the contract, the city will pay for the entire project and then invoice the RCMP for the renovations once they are completed.

Retiring finance director witnessed many changes
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca After 19 years at the helm of the City of Martensville’s finance department, Lorraine Postma is ready to take on a slightly less taxing assignment. Postma is set to retire from her post in early October. “It’s a bit of a bittersweet feeling,” said Postma in an interview on Wednesday, September 16. “But I’ve been her long enough that it’s more sweet than bitter,” she added with a grin. While she’s been the Director of Finance for nearly two decades, Postma has actually been involved, off and on, in Martensville’s civic administration for the past 34 years. Postma moved to Martensville with her family in 1980 and started working at the Town of Martensville office the same year. From 1985 to 1996 she took a break from full-time employment to raise her children, but during that time filled in at both the Martensville office and the RM of Corman Park office. She went back to work fulltime at the Martensville town office in 1996 as Director of Finance. Postma has seen a lot of changes in the community since she and her husband bought their home in Martensville in 1980. “The population at that time was just under 2,000 people,” Postma explained. “It was a good size town, but very few streets were paved at that time and sidewalks

were rare. Eventually streets were paved one by one, but only after residents petitioned to get it done through local improvement fees. “I was the one on our street who went door to door with a petition
Martensville Director of Finance Lorraine Postma because I wanted pavement, and working at the town office, I knew that was the only way it was going to happen. It squeaked through with a bare 51 per cent majority, but it wasn’t easy.” Postma, who has worked under four different administrators and city managers and eight different mayors, was also the returning officer for Martensville in 10 municipal elections.

When she began in 1980 as assistant administrator, there were only four employees at the town office. She’s been a ‘Jill of all trades’ in the office ever since. “I did it all,” she said. “I was the city clerk, the treasurer, the assessor, you name it.” She said the community experienced its first modest boom in the mid-1980s when the north end was resurveyed from large parcels to smaller lots. “That area was just a big mud pit,” she said. “It was where they used to have the annual Martensville Mud Fling.” But after that mild expansion things tightened up. “We’ve gone through some tough times here,” she said. “Between 1986 and 1996 there were lean years and it was a bare-bones budget. At one point the staff was doing the janitorial work because literally they didn’t have enough money to hire a janitor.” The next boom came in the mid1990s when a few major developers such as D&S Homes and North Prairie Developments bought land. Another big player, North Ridge Developments, came on the scene a little later and really boosted the expansion that has been taking place in the last decade. Martensville’s population is just under 10,000 now and is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada. “We’re in a period of huge expansion right now and there are some big infrastructure projects that have to be paid for and car-

ried by the city until the property tax revenue comes in after it is fully developed,” she said. “It’s a short-term situation and it will be very healthy in the long run.” Postma said she enjoyed working with all the mayors and councilors, and noted that it was a little unusual in some ways when Gordon Rutten, her older brother, was elected Mayor in 2009. “A lot of people didn’t realize he was my brother because we have different last names,” said Postma. “And in some ways it was a little awkward, but we both took a very professional approach to our roles and always kept family and work matters separate.” Postma said she feels a strong sense of pride in Martensville and added it’s a wonderful community to raise a family. “I’m very proud of the effort and money that has been put into beautifying Martensville,” she said. “The pathways and parks and recreational facilities are second to none, in my opinion. I have never seen a community that has a more beautiful set of connected pathways for outdoor walking, and I attribute that totally to Kent Muench, our current mayor. He’s passionate about that and you can see it everywhere in this city.” She said working at the town office, and later city hall, has been a rewarding experience and has helped her put down strong roots in the community. “It’s home,” she said.

Warman clamping down Martensville City Council on illegally parked trailers debates RV parking changes
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca With the summer months fading fast, the City of Warman is stepping up enforcement of bylaws restricting parking of trailers on city streets. In his report to Warman City Council on September 21, Warman Bylaw Control Officer Wade Eberle said he has issued 12 warnings to residents who continue to park trailers on the street. “As well, I have had to educate many residents about parking for longer than 48 hours,” said Eberle. “Most people indicate they are not aware of the bylaw.” The city is looking at amending its bylaw to clarify a section prohibiting trailers and RVs from being parked on boulevards and
city-owned easements. Eberle said over the past few weeks he has also been busy dealing with animal control issues. “I had seven animals in the pound over the month of August, including five dogs and two cats,” he said. “In addition, I continue to have numerous calls of dogs barking and animals running at large.” An invasion of moles in some parts of Warman in recent weeks has occurred. Eberle said the city has some traps that are available for use by homeowners looking to rid their property of these pests. The bylaw officer said with the fall clean-up approaching, many residents have garbage, grass clippings, lumber, appliances
and other items left in the alleys. “When I find residents in violation I attempt to contact the resident to educate them to prevent further issues,” said Eberle.
NATIONAL FCM MEETING
Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence attended the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) board of directors meeting in Fredericton, New Brunswick September 8-12. In her report to city council, Spence said the meeting focused on environmental issues and sustainable development, community safety and crime prevention, election engagement, regional concerns, and increasing women’s participation in municipal government.

Feds failing to deliver message places where local MPs actually receive editorial coverage outside election season. That’s why those MPs submit letters to the editor, columns or buy their own local advertising to share their work with the community. They know the power of your local community paper. The federal government knows it, too. The Harper government budgeted $1.25 million to be spent with a company called News Canada to create its own stories – stories it offers for free to print and broadcast outlets. But you and I paid for them. It is
disconcerting that the federal government proposed spending 50 per cent more to create its own news than the total advertising buy in Canadian community newspapers. The federal government strategy appears to be that it’s more important to make pretty ads than to put relevant information about programs and services in front of readers of community newspapers. They’re telling you they’d rather give your tax dollars to Facebook and Google than Canadian-based companies that invest in local journalism. If the federal government
continues to ignore our community newspapers, some communities may lose them. When that happens a vital voice is silenced. If you believe, as we do, that government should invest in meaningful communication with citizens through community newspapers, we ask you to help us. Contact the candidates in your riding regardless of political stripe. We’d love to hear from you, too. Give us a call at 306-668-0575 or write an email to the publisher: tjenson@ccgazette. ca. We’ll continue to make sure your voice is heard.
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Owners of recreational vehicles in Martensville could face parking additional restrictions soon. City council gave first and second reading to proposed amendments to the traffic bylaw at its regular meeting on Tuesday, September 15. But the new bylaw did not yet receive third and final reading, as councilors felt there needed to be more public feedback on the proposed amendments. Most of the amendments are minor housekeeping changes, but there is one clause that could impact RV owners who park their vehicles on their front driveways. At the present time, RVs can be parked so that they are very close to the street. Because of the size of many RVs, the parked vehicle may obstruct the vision of neighbouring motorists backing out of their driveways and onto the street. “It’s a safety concern,” recreation director Dave Bosch told councilors at the meeting. “The goal of the amendment is to ensure people can see what’s coming when they enter the street.” The proposed amendments, modeled to similar bylaws in other western Canadian cities, would allow RVs to be parked in the front driveway of a residence year-round provid-
ed that it is parked two meters back from the top of the curb; or one meter back from the top of the curb provided that the portion of the recreational vehicle is less than one meter in height. The proposed amendments also state that no person shall park a vehicle in such a manner that any portion of the vehicle extends over a sidewalk. The amended bylaw further states that RV parking on Martensville streets would be prohibited from October 1 to April 30 every year. RVs must also be parked in such a way so as to ensure they do not constitute a hazard. Councilor Darren MacDonald told the meeting on September 15 that he felt there had not been enough public consultation on the
proposed amendments, and that people who own RVs should have an opportunity to voice their opinion to council before a major change like this is adopted. “I’m not completely comfortable proceeding with it at this time,” said MacDonald. “I feel like this will maybe catch people off guard. I think there’s probably two distinct groups: those that own RVs and those that live next to them. I’m not sure what the alternatives are, but at this point, I think we have to get people engaged on this topic, provide them with information on what is being proposed and ask for their feedback.” The bylaw is slated to come back to council for third reading at a future meeting.
Martensville blood donor clinic collects 66 units

Hello from Mayor and Council, The Best Way To Find Yourself Is To Loose Yourself In The Service To Others...Gandhi Warman Fire Department hosted a wonderful evening to celebrate protective services in our community. September 12th's Dine and Dance was a fantastic evening with over 350 in attendance. Guests enjoyed a scrumptious meal, entertainment that had everyone on their feet and dancing, and most importantly gave everyone the opportunity to thank our protective services for all they do in and around our community. In my opinion, these men and women who risk their lives, give their time to protect us and make the world a better place are our community heroes. I also want to send a BIG thank you their families for supporting these brave men and women as they provide essential services to our community. The Warman Fire Department also presented the City of Warman with a cheque at the event to cover the additional costs associated with the new equipment purchases. The City of Warman values its relationship with the Department and thanks them for the generous donation.
down and pulling to the right or worse continuing at your current speed in the right lane is extremely dangerous! A fire truck is nearly 40,000lbs and it cannot swerve to avoid vehicles. Following these steps is important as the seconds wasted avoiding traffic is seconds wasted attempting to save many lives. Respectfully submitted, Mayor Sheryl Spence Transportation Committee Report During my last transportation update it was mentioned that we will be seeking services to prepare a Transportation Master Plan (TMP) for our City. This plan will present the City with a strategic plan to address the City’s current street, pedestrian and bicycle networks, as well as truck routes, and parking. The TMP will also include a review of the current street network, including recommendations on signage, school zone areas, and recommendations on the timing and locations of future traffic lights. Recently, the contract was awarded to Dillion consulting to complete our TMP. It will start immediately with data collection/ traffic counts beginning in September for approximately 2 weeks. The study will continue with the analysis and policy development during October which will take approximately 4 weeks. There will be a draft report during the middle of November followed by a public open house at the end of November. We are hoping to adopt the final document at the beginning of December with implementation in 2016. Please follow the progress at the City of Warman Home Page (www.warman.ca) or our Facebook Page to see all the opportunities for input during the process. Respectfully submitted, Gary Philipchuk
Overall, the evening was a great opportunity to thank our protective services and celebrate all that they do for our community. Lastly, I want to share with the community an important message from the City of Warman protective services. When emergency vehicle lights that are flashing appear behind you it is important to pull over and STOP so the emergency vehicle can safely get by. Slowing

We believe it is important that as a learning and highly-involved community we share this information with everyone, not just the parents of students. Please feel free to call us at the school (306-933-2377) or at the town (306-933-2621) if you have suggestions or information for our newsletter. Please check out the WHS website at www.spiritsd.ca/warmanhigh for daily announcements, photos and more!
Bus Lane Parking - We would appreciate it if parents would NOT park in the bus lane when picking up or dropping off your child/children from school. We encourage you to use the south entrance of the school. If you need to pick up your child, please wait until 3:15 to use the bus lane as we have 11 buses that need to be able to access the bus lane. Also, when you are entering the bus lane, please remember that the traffic is ONE WAY and that you MUST enter from Klassen Street. Entering from Central Street causes traffic jams.
WHS Running Track
Next WHS School Community Council
Interested in walking or running? Please purchase a “Track Pass” from Warman High School. Cost is $30.00. This pass is good for the entire school year. The available times are 6:00 – 9:00 am & 5:00 – 9:00 pm, Monday – Friday. Please remember that no outdoor footwear or strollers will be permitted.
Important Information for School Volunteers
Prairie Spirit School Division Policy 501 – Sections 7 and 8 - Criminal Record Checks for Volunteers As a School Division we are always working to create a safe environment for our students. We have learned about extra measures we should be taking to ensure safety beyond the regular classroom with respect to our volunteers. We are hopeful that our parents and community will understand and support this new measure to further protect our students. Our School Division will require criminal records check for some volunteers. Those who must provide a criminal record check are: • Any person who is a non-parent and is acting as a volunteer for school sponsored activities in Prairie Spirit School Division. • Any person acting as a volunteer for school sponsored activities that have direct or sole responsibility for providing supervision of students. Any person acting as a volunteer for school sponsored overnight activities. Parent volunteers (including grandparents or legal guardians) who are volunteering and are under the supervision of a Prairie Spirit employee do not require a criminal records check if they are simply working in the school on a daily basis. Schools may, however, ask new parents or parents unknown to the school to provide personal references from known members of the community or, in lieu of meeting these requirements, may require them to provide a criminal record check. If you are a person who is volunteering in one of our schools and we require a criminal record check, we will ask you to read our policy, so that you understand the implications. Please check with the Principal or Vice-Principal to confirm if a criminal records check is required. If while volunteering, you are charged with a criminal offence, we are asking you to provide us with that information, again, with the thought that we always want to do what is best for the safety of our students. We are proud to work toward creating the safest possible environment for our students. Your support is appreciated!!
Our next meeting is being held on Wednesday, October 21st at 6:30 p.m. in Rm. 210 at WHS. Everybody is welcome to attend!

Stobart High School (Duck Lake) won the bronze medal and RJC placed fourth in the tournament. The Royals senior girls soccer team is hoping to build on last season’s success. “We made it all the way to provincials last year after winning regionals for the first time ever,” said Royals coach Breanne Cooper. “So we’re coming off our most successful season ever.” With many of the same players returning from last year, Cooper said the team chemistry is strong. “A lot of these girls in Grade 12 have played together since they were in Grade 9,” she said. “They’re a hard-work-

Delisle Chiefs impress during pre-season “We had a lot of returning guys who were not in the lineup. A lot of new guys were playing and even in the games we lost we had a pretty good chance to win.” After Sunday night’s 5-4 win over the Saskatoon Westleys, the Chiefs re-
leased three players. Ditto, who mixed his lineup with rookies and returning players for evaluation purposes, said he was very impressed with the Chiefs effort in all three games. His team recorded nearly twice as many shots on goal
as their opponents in all three games. Ditto said the quality of shots could have made the difference in higher scoring numbers for all three contests. “We had a lot of shots but also a lot of loose pucks lay-

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The Delisle Chiefs went 2-1 in their Prairie Junior Hockey League pre-season games held at the Delisle Arena this past weekend. The Chiefs dropped their first game against the Saskatoon Royals 5-4 in a contest that could have gone either way, said Chiefs coach Eric Ditto. The Chiefs ended the first period in a 3-3 draw on goals from Kynan Tarnowski, Jase Smalcel and Brett Parsons. There was no scoring in the second period. In the third period it looked as if the Chiefs were going to take control when Derek Schlosser gave his team a one goal lead, but it was short lived as the Royals fought back with the tying goal minutes later, followed by the game-winner with less than five minutes left on the clock. In their second game September 19, power play goals by Travis Quinn and Brent Gaudet paid dividends for the Chiefs in a 6-5 comefrom-behind overtime nailbiter over the Fort Knox Rebels. The Chiefs found themselves in a tough spot in the first period, giving up three goals. The Rebels increased their lead to 5-2 at the end of the second. However, the latter half of the second and the entire third period belonged to the Chiefs with Quinn, Gaudet, Braylen Fiset all scored to tie the game. In overtime Anthony Radke made no mistake, potted his second goal of the night to secure the 6-5 win.

Delisle, Kindersley battle to a draw
The Delisle Rebels battled to a 29-29 tie against the host Kindersley Kobras in nine-man high school football action in Kindersley on Friday, September 18. Delisle coach Ken Byers said it was a tough game, and he was happy with his team’s play. “We were able to move the ball offensively with a balanced attack,” said Byers. “One of our Grade 9 players, Will Major, returned the
ball well on special teams and gave us good field position. Josh Kemp showed great resolve shedding blocks and making tackles on the defensive side of the ball.” The Rebels now put their unbeaten streak on the line on Friday, September 25 when they take on the host Warman Wolverines in Warman. The Wolverines are 3-0 so far this season. In other high school foot-

Warman wins bronze in Rosthern By CORRIE POMARENSKI Warman assistant coach The Warman Wolverines senior girls B volleyball team won a bronze medal at the Rosthern Junior College (RJC) tournament in Rosthern last weekend. There were six girls teams, which included us, Rosthern Junior College, Martensville, LCBI, Macklin and Nipawin. We played in two matches on Friday night where the girls played very well, winning both matches against LCBI and Macklin. They communicated well and attacked consistently, which were two of our goals that night. Our serving, which was our weakness in the last tournament, was a strong improvement. On Saturday, we were hot and cold, splitting our first two matches against RJC and Nipawin. Our final match to determine our standing after the round robin was against Martensville. This was basically to determine which of us ended in second and which was in third. Martensville edged us out in two tight sets 23-25 and 20-25. We had a game break before heading into the semi finals. Hoping to flip the tables on Martensville in the re-match, we dug deep, but lost the first set 23-25 again. Unfortunately for us, Martensville came to play their
best volleyball and we fell short, losing the second set 11-25. Although the score does not show, the girls played hard but just couldn’t fight back. We will be heading to Weyburn Sept 25 and 26 for our next tournament. But before we do, we are looking forward to hosting the Huskies Men’s and Women’s Volleyball teams for two inter-squad games at the high school. They will run two clinics for our high school volleyball teams before playing and then joining us for a homemade dinner. Please join us for the games to cheer on Warman’s own Jaden Webber to pack the gym.

Pisces, you may have a hard time distinguishing between fantasy and reality the next few days. But enjoy the extra time to daydream.

The men and women who serve in the Canadian Armed Forces were honoured at Griffiths Stadium in PotashCorp Park on Friday, September 18 in the U of S Huskies’ sixth annual ‘Support Our Troops’ football game. The Huskies wore customdesigned uniforms for the game which included nameplates and patches that tell stories of support and honour. The special uniforms combined an Arctic camouflage pattern plus the distinctive green of the U of S. The Arctic pattern was chosen since it is Canada’s largest border defended by the Canadian Armed Forces. Huskies helmets carried insignias of the army, navy and air force, and feature the crests of HMCS Saskatoon – a coastal defence vessel that recently returned from patrol in the Arctic – and HMCS Unicorn, Saskatoon’s reserve division of the Royal Canadian Navy, as well as the North Saskatchewan Regiment shield. The pre-game ceremony featured a military colour guard, a moment of silence, a fly-over, and a ceremonial coin toss and kickoff. The Huskies then picked up their first win of the season, defeating the University of Regina Rams 33-18 before a crowd of over 6,000.

By KATE KADING Saskatchewan Valley News On Monday, October 5, the Missoula Children’s Theatre is coming to Rosthern Elementary School to begin auditions for a production of Aladdin. Missoula Children’s Theatre is a fully equipped, travelling production that provides one little red truck, two professional actor/directors, five exciting days of team building, 20 focused hours of rehearsal, 60 proud cast members and hundreds of smiling faces! The community provides enthusiasm, excited children from Kindergarten to Grade 9 for the cast and a wonderful venue to host this amazing event. The Station Arts Centre (SAC) is thrilled to be partnering with Rosthern Elementary School (RES) to bring Missoula to Rosthern. SAC Co-Executive Director Nicole Thiessen says this will be a wonderful experience for all involved. “I think there will be a great community feel to this event. It is so nice for the Station to partner with our local elementary school because we have a very important relationship with local schools and there needs to be a lot of that crossover both for us to make a richer community in the future. We are so fortunate to have such amazing working relationships with different organizations in our area. The Station is just not big enough to house an event of this size and RES is perfect to host Missoula. On Monday, October 5, they start with group auditions and this is not something you
have to get uptight about. Missoula auditions kids in a way that they can be confident and feel good; it is a fun experience.” Directly after school on the Monday, anyone interested in auditioning will gather in the RES gym (the community centre) and go through the two hour long process that helps the Missoula staff choose 50 to 60 cast members for Aladdin. At the end of the auditions on Monday, they will have the cast chosen and ready to start full scale rehearsals starting on Tuesday, October 6. When auditioning, families should keep in mind the short duration of this commitment and intense rehearsal and performance schedule it entails. Practises will run for four hours every day from Tuesday, October 6 to Friday, October 9 (with meal breaks) leading up to the two performances on Saturday, October 10 with one matinee and one evening performance. There will be a nominal fee for spectators and all proceeds will remain in the community. But what does our community gain in just six days? Live theatre, enrichment workshops, arts education, team building, 100 percent of the ticket sales and memories to last a lifetime! Missoula Children’s Theatre “fosters creativity and enhances innate capabilities in individuals all over the world by providing access to community-driven performing arts experiences.” Thiessen says Missoula’s mission is to provide a growing experience. “Parents will be well informed
about the process and it is great to understand that Missoula is known for instilling leadership, confidence and inclusiveness. It’s about getting kids involved in this giant production and it’s kind of amazing to watch this all happen. Even if you have a little one who is a little on the shy side, there are lots of parts in this production. These guys are excellent at spotting what you are good at and helping you highlight that. This is not about creating any fearful experiences. Hopefully this is the start to many more years of Missoula coming here. It seems like people get addicted to it.” Always broadening the range of activities available in Rosthern, the Station Arts Centre as well as our schools continually offer experiences that foster a love of all aspects of education from arts and music to sports and recreation of all kinds. Bringing Missoula Children’s Theatre to Rosthern is yet another fabulous event that brings the world right to our doorstep. Missoula has been to 1,200 communities around the world, including all 50 states, 17 different countries, five Canadian provinces and two territories. They have instructed over 65,000 cast members and wowed 750,000 audience members! With that kind of track record, we are surely in for a magical experience. For more information and tickets please call the SAC at 306-232-5332 and to learn more about the Missoula Children’s Theatre please visit www.mctinc.org.

Financial literacy important for young families, says Warman church pastor By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Dealing with debt can be overwhelming, particularly if you’re falling further and further behind in your payments. And that pressure can lead to other problems, including emotional and physical health issues, marital breakdown and worse, according to Connor Shram, a pastor at Awakening Church in Warman. “A lot of us, particularly in the younger generation, never really learned how to manage our money,” said Shram in an interview on Wednesday, September 16. “We live in a society that’s practically built on credit and people don’t realize that the debt burden they’re carrying may be contributing to emotional baggage and breakdown in relationships. As a pastor and counselor in our church, I’ve noticed that money is often one of the most oft-cited reasons for divorce.” Shram said the church is sponsoring a nine-week course in debt reduction and money management aimed at helping people take control of their financial lives by learning to live within their means. The course, which begins this week, challenges some basic assumptions about quality of life along the way, he added. “A lot of young families may feel they need to keep up with the Joneses, but they’re not keeping track of what they’re spending compared to what they’re bringing in,” he noted. “It takes a certain amount of courage to tackle those assumptions and approach money. The idea of saving instead of spending and living within your means is kind of foreign to many. “But it doesn’t have to be. And actually, the more debt you can pay off the more financially independent you are and the less stress you feel. You are able to tell your money what to do instead of the other way around.” Lauren Penner, who took the course along with his
David and Renee Recordon with their daughter
Connor Shram
Lauren Penner
wife, said one of the biggest lessons he learned in the course is the simple act of budgeting for household expenses. “As of last November, my wife and I are now debt-free,” said Penner. “But five years ago I was $100,000 in debt. It took a long time and a lot of work, but we paid that debt off and we’re a lot better off now.” David and Renee Recordon took the course last year and paid off $6,500 in debt. Renee Recordon said they
used cash instead of credit and debit cards, and the physical act of paying with actual money lent a weighty reality to the act of spending. “We had to manage our money very carefully, because once the cash in the envelope for the month is gone, it’s gone,” she said. “It was not easy, but it certainly helped us change our habits. Before that we used to just put everything on our credit cards if we ran short. We don’t do that now.”
Nancy Heppner to speak at Warman Chamber of Commerce AGM Minister of Highways and Infrastructure Nancy Heppner will be the guest speaker at the Warman Chamber of Commerce (WCC) annual general meeting on Tuesday, October 20. WCC President Ernie
Quintal said the organization’s AGM is an imoprtant function “where we share with you, our members, the exciting happenings from the prior year as well as our goals and plans for the year ahead.
“The evening also provides an opportunity to meet our Board of Directors.” The WCC has been in existence for about two years and has a growing membership, said Quintal.

RM approves second reading on Pinnacle Ridge residential-golf development By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The RM of Aberdeen passed a second reading at its regular meeting on September 15 for a 500-acre golf course and residential development, which will be the largest the municipality has even seen. Pinnacle Ridge Estates and Golf Club – to be located between Bettker and Bergheim roads and residing close to Highway 41 – will include 310 residential lots fully serviced with city water, paved roads and gated cul-du-sacs. It will also include an 18-hole championship golf course plus a club community centre with tennis courts, fitness facility and health spa. The only barrier to the development is a servicing agreement between the developer and the RM. Final approval by Ministry of Government Relation’s Community Planning branch also needs to be granted. Martin Bettker, reeve of the RM of Aberdeen, said pending approval he is confident the development will complement the municipali-
ty. “I think if we can come to terms on the servicing agreement and make community planning happy, I think this development will be great for the RM. There will be added tax revenue, jobs, and residents to the R.M.” Developer Carman Praski explained that the idea for the residential golf development has been around for almost nine years. Praski and his wife bought 200 acres of land along Bettker and Bergheim roads in 2004, their original idea was to build a 26-lot residential development due to the increase of residential developments in the area. While waiting for approval for his subdivision, he noticed there were no golf courses located northeast of Saskatoon. He thought building one might be wellsupported. The only problem was space. Praski knew he would not be able to build a golf course on 200 acres of land so he asked local landowners if they would be willing to give up some
of their land. It was a successful venture that gave him 300 extra acres to work with. Praski said he is anxious to get the green light to proceed with the development. “The course will probably hold up to 40 tournaments a year so it will be great for the public and charities but also great for anyone that golfs in the area,” said Praski. “But, not only that. We are going to have a fitness facility, restaurant, lounge and tennis court. There will be a lot of amenities open to the public as well. It will provide a great amenity not only for the people in Pinnacle Ridge but even for surrounding residents and developments.” There was some opposition to the development at the public meeting held by the RM, said Bettker. Traffic congestion and light pollution were addressed, something Praski said local residents have nothing to worry about. “We are not going to be using city street lights. They are going to be walking trail type lights that are point-
ed to the ground similar to what you would find in a new subdivision. It will be different than people think.” Some of the service agreement work that needs to be done includes a realign-
ment of Highway 41, turning lanes, perimeter road upgrades surrounding the golf course and a sewage treatment plant. Bettker said if everything goes as planned the first phase of the proj-
ect will start with the construction of 85 lots and the golf course. Praski added he is hoping to get final approval for the development in a couple of months.

Block spreading Conservative message on campaign trail
By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca This past weekend Conservative candidate Kelly Block will have reached the halfway mark for the communities she will visit in the hopes of getting re-elected to her third term in Ottawa. Block won the SaskatoonRosetown-Biggar riding last time around and is hoping to do the same in the newly created Carlton Trail–Eagle Creek riding. “I am running on a personal record of being a hard working MP focused on serving my constituents and representing them in Ottawa,” said Block. “Federal politics is also about working as a team. We have a strong Conservative Regional Caucus here in Saskatchewan and I am proud of our government’s strong fiscal management, balancing the budget while reducing taxes to their lowest level in 50 years.”
erals who do not support the project.
AGRICULTURE
During this campaign, agriculture has been an item that has not been mentioned a lot during two leadership debates. Block said the Conservative platform for Canada’s agricultural industry is very clear. “The Conservative Party, under the leadership of
Stephen Harper, knows that hard working farm families and the businesses they run are a huge economic driver here in Canada,” said Block. “That is why over the past four years our Conservative government has been focused on growing trade and expanding markets. We have achieved considerable success in opening new markets and creating opportunities for agriculture and
the agri-food sector.” Block added that the Conservatives’ recent budget included measures to enable farmers to further enhance marketing capacity both at home and abroad.
FEDERAL ISSUES
A few controversial issues that drew a lot of criticism of the Conservatives has been Bill C-27 – the First Na-
tions Financial Transparency Act – and the immigration crisis in Syria. Block said legislation provides transparency and accountability that all other levels of government in Canada provide. On the Syrian refugee crisis, Block noted Stephen Harper has stated this crisis must be addressed at all three levels: confronting ISIS militarily, providing
humanitarian aid as well as through refugee re-settlement. With only four weeks to go until Canadians visit polling stations across the country, Block said residents in every corner of her riding agree with the Conversative message. The federal election will take place on October 19 with advance polls taking place from October 9-12.

VOTER CONCERNS
On the campaign trail Block said she is hearing that voters are concerned about Canada’s economic future. “They are telling me that they support our Conservative Party’s focus on keeping taxes low and government spending in check. They are concerned by the NDP’s and Liberal’s high tax, high spending agenda”.
ECONOMY
Block said a Conservative government will continue to keep Saskatchewan’s mining, manufacturing and oil industries strong by reducing taxes for businesses and implementing tax measures that encourage investment. This will enable companies to grow and make Canada a more attractive place to do business. “As a country rich in natural resources, our Conservative government understands that tens of thousands of Canadian jobs depend on the responsible development of those natural resources and building the infrastructure needed to get them to market.” Block used the Energy East Pipeline project as an example to show the lack of vision by the NDP and Lib-
