Village at Crossmount core area approved by Corman Park council

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Blackstone Land and Cattle Corporation has received conditional approval for development of its Crossmount Village core area buildings and wastewater treatment storage facility.

The RM of Corman Park council gave the developer the okay at its regular meeting on Monday, September 21.

The approval represents a major milestone for the project, an integrated “community of care” country residential development five kilometers south of Saskatoon on Highway 219.

The multi-million dollar development is designed as an “aging-in-place” country residential community and includes a mix of residential buildings, health care facilities, retail shops and other amenities.

The development is also unique in that it is the first Direct Control District (DCD) within the RM of Corman Park. The development must comply not only with the RM’s Official Community Plan (OCP), but also with a municipal DCD zoning bylaw that specifically regulates its planning, construction and operations.

“This is an amazing project,” said Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood during discussion on the application at the council meeting.

“It’s very nice to see it moving forward.”

The development currently has servicing in place for utilities including natural gas, electricity, and potable treated water. Corman Park previously approved construction of 18 single-family homes and agri-tourism facilities in the Crossmount complex.

The application for Cross-

mount’s “Village Centre” was approved subject to conditions including lowering its proposed multi-unit building dwelling density; and meeting parking and setback requirements for specific buildings.

Construction of the “Village Centre,” which includes one skilled nursing facility, three independent living buildings, two supportive living buildings, and eight multi-use buildings, can now begin construction once the developer meets the specific conditions attached to the development permit.

The conditional approval of the application for Crossmount Village wastewater treatment storage ponds follows the provincial Water Security Agency’s (WSA) goahead in July, 2015 for construction of sewage treatment facilities. The storage ponds are designed for 240 days of storage of treated wastewater, and irrigation was approved as the method of discharge. Buffer zones are required in areas close to buildings, property line boundaries, public roadways, surface waters and wellheads. Ongoing monitoring is required and the WSA must also issue a permit to operate.

Corman Park Division 3 councilor David Fox said he supported the application subject to the developer meeting the required conditions. He noted that the buildings cannot be occupied unless the requirements for wastewater treatment and storage are met.

“The developer clearly has a stake in making sure that wastewater treatment system is successful,” said Fox. “I’m also glad to see there CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

hepburn threshing day

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

A hands-on demonstration of how harvest was done in the old days was provided by a team of vintage farm equipment enthusaists on the grounds of the Hepburn Museum of Wheat on Saturday, September 26. The annual community threshing day coincided with the final day of the Hepburn outdoor market. It was also the last day of the season for the Museum of Wheat, located in a restored 1927 Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator. A good crowd was on hand for the annual auction sale, old-fashioned pie-tasting competition and weird vegetable juding event.

Health region gears up for influenza season

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Saskatoon Health Region (SHR) is counting on its annual immunization campaign to keep a potential influenza outbreak in check.

Dr. Simon Kapaj, SHR deputy medical health officer, said the health region’s vaccination campaign is set to begin Monday, October 19, with public clinics in Saskatoon and other communities, including Warman and Martensville.

In an interview on Wednesday, September 23, Kapaj said it is important for people to be immunized, not only to protect their own health, but also to keep their families, co-workers and others safe.

“The flu season tends to start around the end of Oc-

Dr. Simon Kapaj tober in Canada and the United States,” said Kapaj.

“It continues over the winter months and ends sometime at the end of March or early April.

“We encourage everyone to get the vaccine, especially children, seniors, pregnant women and people that have chronic illness.”

Kapaj said influenza (also known as ‘flu’) viruses are constantly changing, so the vaccine is updated each year based on which influenza viruses are making

people sick, how those viruses are spreading, and how well the previous season’s vaccine protects against those viruses.

All manufacturers that distribute influenza vaccine products in Canada confirm to Health Canada that the vaccines to be marketed in women, young children, the elderly, and those with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma, and heart disease.

“For SHR, hospitalizations are only known to us in connection to a lab-confirmed positive cases. For the 20132014 SHR season we had 307 cases (268 Type A+39 Type B) and in the 2014-2015 season we had 563 cases (457 Type A+106 Type B),” he said.

The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that in any given year, an average

of 12,200 people are hospitalized due to influenza.

It also estimates that approximately 3,500 deaths are directly attributable to influenza annually.

“For this year, it’s still early in the season and flu is highly unpredictable,” said Kapaj. “However, we are expecting a decrease of morbidity, especially in high risk groups. The impact of this season’s immunization campaign on patient demand depends on several factors.”

He noted that vaccines will be available at public clinics and also through family physicians.

Kapaj said “vaccine hesitancy” among some groups is an issue the SHR is addressing.

Aging in place community gets okay are buffer zones with regard to the irrigation, even though this is treated wastewater so there is not going to be an issue with odour.�

BUILDING A VILLAGE

Crossmount developer Duncan McKercher said the new community will have its own post office address, “Crossmount, SK�, and is projected to have a population of approximately 1250 residents once it is completed.

The plans are geared for seniors to age-in-place, and include 300 single homes, 120 condominium-style units, 155 supportive units and 120 units of care, said McKercher. The complex will include care levels 1 through 4. “The days of seniors living in institutions are long gone,� said McKercher in an interview on Thursday, September 24. “The model is now changing. We are integrating some higher levels of care services into our skilled nursing facilities to accommodate people’s changing needs over time.

It’s extremely important that we bring to the market-

place a new style of homes.�

Because of the magnitude of the project, it has to be “layered,� said McKercher. “You have to manage the growth,� said McKercher. “Our experience has shown that if you do the right thing, and you don’t cut corners, then the marketplace will respond positively. We’re extremely proud of the quality of our homes. We have six single-family residences at the site that are currently occupied, with 11 homes now under construction; and we’ll be building more homes over the winter.�

McKercher said permits have been approved to truck sewage waste from the homes until the development’s new wastewater treatment plant is built and operational. “It takes a critical mass to operate the treatment facility,� he said. “Now that we have the development permit approved, we can start building that facility this fall. We’ll also be building the first set of condo-style accommodations and supportive services. It takes

about two years to bring those on stream. So we’re on track. We should have the village ready for occupancy in 2017.�

OPERATIONS PHASE

McKercher said approximately 75 per cent of the infrastructure has to be in place before the bulk of the development will be ready for occupancy. He said the focus has been on getting basic utilities in place, particularly sewer and water.

He said the wastewater treatment facility at Crossmount is the first of its kind to receive approval in Saskatchewan. “The technology is not new,� said McKercher. “It’s proven effective and it’s well-established in other provinces including Alberta, BC and Manitoba.�

He said it’s taken three years to get provincial approval from the Water Security Agency and Sask Agriculture and Food. Provincial approval was required before development approvals could be granted

by Corman Park.

The Crossmount treat-

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2015 ment facility uses a mechanical and chemical process that processes septic waste and removes harmful bacteria. The facility is able to do this using a much-smaller footprint than traditional municipal lagoons. “The amount of land we’re tying up is less than an acre,â€? said McKercher. “Over the past several years, we have worked with the provincial agencies to test the groundwater and surrounding wells to determine a baseline natural water quality. With our facility we are in effect processing the septic to a quality higher than that baseline so it is actually a better quality than the naturally-occurring groundwater.â€?

The approval of these latest permits allow Crossmount to hit its targets for phased development, said McKercher. “We are moving from construction to operations on our agri-tourism part,� he noted.. “Our event building in particular has been an overwhelming success so far.�

Fraudulent CRA calls continuing

Saskatoon Police and RCMP detachments in the region continue to receive complaints regarding fraudulent calls by people claiming to represent the Canada Revenue Agency. The callers claim that taxes are owed, and use threatening or aggressive language to frighten the complainants into paying fictitious debt. In some cases the callers falsely claim that the complainants will be arrested if they don’t pay. The callers demand payment by credit card or money transfer. Anyone who has been a victim of this type of fraud is asked to contact their local RCMP detachment. Police are asking the public not to not use the 911 number to report fraud.

Vaccine hesitancy an issue for SHR “It’s a complex issue and is not limited only to the flu vaccine,� said Kapaj. “It is also a factor when it comes to immunizations for other serious diseases like mumps, measles and rubella. In part it may be due to

the fact we don’t see many of these cases so people don’t take it seriously.�

He said as long as the level of “herd immunity� is high for the population as a whole, epidemics of these diseases are not likely.

“With measles, for example, if 94 or 95 per cent of the population is immunized against the disease, it is unlikely to be a serious problem. The higher the herd immunity, the higher the disease resistance level.�

Keep an eye out for tell-tale poisoning symptoms in dogs, says Warman vet

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Despite an unfounded claim by two families about the poisoning of their dogs at a Saskatoon dog park last week, it should serve as reminder for dog owners to be mindful of their surroundings at home and in off leash parks when walking their dogs said Warman Small Animal Hospital vetrarian Colette Neudorf.

The pesticide strychnine was originally thought to be the toxin that killed one of the dogs, a basset hound, in Avalon Dog Park. But after the dog was later examined by a Saskatoon veterinarian the results were inconclusive.

The pesticide is commonly used for killing birds and rodents.

Over the years Neudorf said she has dealt with several cases were dogs have ingested toxins, which are most often unintentional.

“I think it is a good idea for people to walk the perimeter of their yards once

in awhile to check for anything suspicious, such as garbage or meat that could be laced with poison. It is just a matter of being observant.”

At the same time, Neudorf said being an observant dog owner might be difficult at an off-leash dog park, especially if the dog is several metres away.

Some of the common symptoms of poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea and neurological damage such as seizures.

In most cases, Neudorf added, if an owner sees their dog ingest a toxic substance the best thing to do is to get the dog to vomit right away.

“If you see your dog eat mouse bait, one of our favourite home remedies is to administer hydrogen peroxide orally. In most cases it will induce a dog to vomit within five minutes.”

Neudorf stressed that if the dog starts to convulse then it is likely the toxin has gone past the stomach

and has spread throughout the its body. When this happens, the only option is to get the dog to a veterinarian right away.

On September 23, the City of Sasktoon notified the public and expressed sympathy to the family that experienced the loss of their pet.

The notice also stated that the incident was reviewed, and a park inspection had taken place with nothing out of the ordinary found.

Neudorf said there is a slim glimmer of hope when it comes to treating a dog who has been poisoned. It often depends on the amount of time that has passed with the ingested toxin.

“We can give them medications that will decrease the absorption of the toxin from their gastro intestinal tract into the blood stream to block the absorption of anything that might be traveling through the intestine,” said Neudorf, who noted the situation also depends on the toxin’s potency and concentration.

Ready for change?

We’re ready too.

Trees a living memorial for loved ones

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Mia Hollinger received a lot of positive feedback and a few potential clients for her Vanscoy-based Treeternity business during its grand opening September 20.

“We probably had about 20 people show up, half from the city and the other half from Vanscoy. People were quite receptive because it was something different,” said Hollinger.

“I would say our grand opening was successful getting our name out there.

Most people said ‘Oh I could see us doing this for grandma.”

Treeternity is located about a mile south of Vansoy on a 7.5 acre parcel of land with a capacity to hold 1,700 trees. It also includes a gazebo, pathways, benches and other typical amenities one would expect to find in a park.

The business provides a service where people can buy a tree on their own 12 ft. by 12 ft. parcel of land to remember a loved one or pet.

Customers deserve fairness in liquor competition

By Todd MacKay Prairie Director - Canadian Taxpayers Association

Selling liquor in Saskatchewan is a rigged game. The dif-

COMMENTARY

ferent players have different rules and, even worse, different pricing structures. And it adds up to a raw deal for Saskatchewanians buying a six pack of Pil or bottle of rye.

But what if it wasn’t rigged? What if every off-sale and rural franchise could deliver the same selection, service and pricing that’s available in the new private stores such as Sobey’s and Co-op? Is there any doubt that consumers would be the winners in that kind of competitive market?

The Saskatchewan government will unveil a new liquor policy this fall. The success or failure of the new policy will rest on one simple issue: fairness. If the government continues to enforce an unfair pricing structure, the new policy will be a failure regardless of any other tinkering. If the government delivers fairness in pricing, every liquor retailer will be free to compete and the reform will be a success.

Theoretically, there are lots of competitors in the liquor arena: 450 off-sales, 190 rural franchises, 75 government stores and now four private full-line stores. But it’s not a fair competition.

Here’s how the liquor retailing game is currently rigged.

Liquor franchises, the rural grocery stores that sell booze along with bread and milk, have to sell liquor at the same price as government stores. Then the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority provides a 15.3 per cent discount back to franchises.

However, most franchises aren’t allowed to sell standard beers such as Pilsner and the government dictates which beers they can sell cold.

Off-sales, such as hotels and brew pubs that sell liquor, face a completely different pricing structure.

They have to buy booze from the SLGA at retail prices and there are no discounts, but they can sell it at any price. That’s why a case of beer or a bottle of vodka costs a lot more at the local hotel. Off-sales can buy a limited selection of standard beers (e.g. Pilsner) directly from brewers and get discounts of 10.25 per cent to 13.52 per cent. And off-sales can put all kinds of beer in the fridge.

Then there are the four full-line private stores such as Sobey’s and Co-op. Those stores get a discount of 16 per cent off of the government retail price on everything they buy.

Technically, the government lets them set their own prices, carry any products they want and make their own decisions as to what should go in the fridge. Of course, they can’t sell for less than 16 per cent off the government store price or they’d lose money. But at least this little bit of freedom is obvious to consumers who are flocking to the new private stores.

Industry members are clearly tired of being forced to give their customers a raw deal.

In its submission to the Saskatchewan government’s liquor review, the Saskatchewan Liquor Vendors Association calls on the government to “adopt the same discount structure for private franchises as the private full-line liquor stores currently receive.”

The Saskatchewan Hotels and Hospitality Association, which represents most off-sales, makes a similar point and calls for a “single uniform wholesale price for all retailers.”

Restaurants Canada demands to “be granted equal access to discounted pricing.”

The simplest way to achieve fairness would be for the government to leave liquor retailing, allow responsible private stores to take over, and then play its proper role to regulate and tax the industry.

But even if the government wants to hold on to its liquor stores it must ensure fairness by giving every liquor retailer access to the same prices, selection and regulations. That will put every off-sale and rural franchise on the same level playing field with government stores and the new private stores.

For consumers, that would be the biggest step forward in liquor retailing since Prohibition.

would think, should mean they would have more difficulty getting to the polls.

Moreover, rural seats are generally viewed as less affluent and the experts keep to telling us that the poorer you are, the less likely you are too vote.

So what’s happened here?

Well, it tends to show that this issue tends to be a little more complex than either the experts or the non-voting laymen would suggest.

Ask most people why they don’t vote and they will tell you that it’s because none of the issues really impact them or because their vote doesn’t much matter anyway.

Well, it’s hard to remember a federal campaign where the primary issue to rural Saskatchewan people, agriculture, has been discussed less. Even in 2011, we were still having the debate over the Canadian Wheat Board.

But what have we really heard this campaign from any of the parties about the failure of the railways to move our grain?

Shouldn’t that be a burning question?

Yet it’s pretty safe to bet that either the Conservative incumbents in rural ridings (or those who have won the party nominations to replace them) will be returned to Ottawa.

And it’s likely as safe a bet that we will still see higher rural vote turnout in rural Saskatchewan than we will see in most Canadian urban seats.

So what’s the difference?

Well, it might be a couple things.

Rural voters do tend to already feel isolated by the fact that they are further removed from provincial and federal capitals; both physically and in terms of issues.

But rather than bemoan this reality, they view it as a bigger priority to exercise their franchise.

And perhaps because rural voters are older and from a generation where voting was seen as a civic duty, there does seem to be a greater determination not to take their right to vote for granted.

In this time when getting out the vote seems to be an issue, maybe lessons can be learned from rural voters.

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.

Health region to assess blood collection services

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Saskatoon Health Region (SHR) will be assessing its blood collection services in an effort to make it more accessible to residents outside Saskatoon.

SHR President and CEO Dan Florizone made the commitment at a SHR board of directors meeting in Warman on Wednesday, Sept. 23.

Florizone was responding to a concern raised at the meeting by Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence.

The mayor said she had received a call from an elderly female resident of Warman who is visually impaired and has diabetes. The resident said she was obliged to go to a lab in Saskatoon to have blood tests done because she could not get bloodwork done in Warman.

Fall Supper Fridays

Every Friday in October our Fall Supper Feature will be a

The cost of transportation to and from Saskatoon for the bloodwork amounted to $70, a steep price for a senior on a fixed income.

The resident said she was without a family doctor in Warman for quite some time until a doctor at the local clinic accepted her as a patient. For the seven months he was at the local clinic, she was able to get blood work done there, but

when the doctor moved away, the clinic, which is physician-owned and operated, would no longer do the bloodwork.

“It’s a very sad situation when a senior in her 80s who is visually impaired and has diabetes can’t have her blood checked in her home community,” said Spence. “Especially in a city like Warman, with a population of 10,000 people.”

“We have an obligation to make sure those types of services are accessible,” said Florizone at the meeting. “We will get to the bottom of this and find a short-term answer and a long-term solution. In a city this size you should get the service you need right here.”

Blood work, health bus, doctor retention discussed HEALTH BUS PROGRAM

Osler Mayor Ben Buhler suggested the SHR should look at expanding its health bus program to include visits to communities outside Saskatoon.

The SHR health bus, run by a nurse practitioner and paramedic, currently has several locations in Saskatoon where residents of Saskatoon’s core neighbourhoods can access the service. The clients of the health bus tend to be those who don’t access other health care facilities.

“A mobile health care bus would be a benefit to the region beyond Saskatoon, especially to seniors who don’t have easy access to transportation,” said Buhler. “I would love to see that service in our town.”

DOCTOR RETENTION

The issue of recruitment and retention of physicians in smaller centres outside Saskatoon was also a concern raised at the meeting.

It was noted that many communities offer specific incentives to attract and retain family physicians

over and above the provincial incentives offered for smaller centres further away from Saskatoon.

Warman and Martensville are too close to Saskatoon to qualify for that provincial incentive program.

Florizone also noted that while progress is being made with recruiting physicians, including University of Saskatchewan graduates, the trend is for doctors to move more often.

“The reality is that if we can have a physician spend five years in a community, that’s actually pretty good,” he said. “Ten years would be better, but it’s certainly not realistic to expect a physician to remain in the same community for 20 years anymore. Those days are gone.”

ALTERNATIVE CARE

The SHR board meeting heard that the “community paramedicine model” currently underway in Saskatoon is bearing positive results.

Corey Miller, SHR VicePresident of Integrated Health Services, said the

pilot project currently is underway in nine longterm care homes and three large seniors housing complexes. Under the program, five community paramedics deliver care directly to the homes.

“Instead of bringing seniors to the hospital, we are delivering more appropriate care in a new and better way,” said Miller

SAFETY A PRIORITY

Petrina McGrath, SHR Vice-President for People, Practice and Quality, outlined the ongoing results of a 90-day “safety cycle” currently underway within the health region. McGrath and Dr. Susan Shaw, a critical care physician and anesthesiologist, are leading the

initiative.

McGrath told the SHR board meeting that while most people’s experiences with the health care system go well, there are instances where accidental harm happens. She said the region is working toward a systematic way to prevent harm by learning from past mistakes and anticipating problems.”

“We know that potentially harmful mistakes can happen in a health care system,” said McGrath.

“Human error cannot be avoided entirely, so we need to better support patients, families, physicians and employees, as well as improve our system and processes, to eliminate preventable harm.”

The start of a new school year is always an exciting time for students and parents, teachers and support staff. This year, it is also a time of celebration as sod turnings have marked the start of a number of important infrastructure projects in some of Saskatchewan’s fastest-growing communities.

The construction of 18 new, publicly-owned elementary schools is now underway at nine joint-use sites in Saskatoon, Warman, Martensville, and Regina. Ready to welcome students in 2017, each of the nine joint-use sites will include 90 new child care spaces and a community centre.

These projects are part of our government’s commitment to improving quality of life for students, teachers and communities. We have committed approximately $966 million toward 65 major school capital projects and numerous smaller projects such as preventative maintenance and renewal.

Community Rink Affordability Grants Returns for Another Season

Saskatchewan’s community-owned, indoor skating and curling rinks are hubs for physical activity and community involvement. At the start of another hockey and curling season, we are reminded that these rinks are places where people of all ages come together and enjoy a variety of activities.

Once again, the Government of Saskatchewan is offering the Community Rink Affordability Grant to communities across the province. Over the past three years, the program has granted $4.8 million to support operations and minor capital upgrades to 1,941 recreational ice surfaces in Saskatchewan.

Communities, schools, non-profits and First Nations are now eligible to apply for funding. Successful applicants receive a grant of $2,500 per indoor ice surface.

Despite pressures in the energy sector, the latest wholesale trade figures from Statistics Canada confirm that Saskatchewan’s economy is strong.

Wholesale trade in July hit a record $2.17 billion (seasonally adjusted), the highest amount ever for the month. Record high wholesale trade is good news for the Saskatchewan economy. It points to greater demand for goods from business that will help sustain positive growth.

The rise in a number of other areas shows that we have a diversified economy, which is a buffer when it comes to the current state of the global marketplace.

This means we have some protection from what’s happening in the resource sector, and gives us confidence that we will be able to move quickly to turn things around once market conditions improve.

Sask Valley Vipers start off with a win game where decision making by his players wasn’t as quick as he would have liked.

“The guys were consistent pretty much throughout the whole game,” said Priel. “I think Carter made some good saves and held us in there when he needed to.”

Priel said with a lot of new players on the team, some are thinking with their heads instead of their feet, which is all part of the learning process at this level.

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The Sask Valley Vipers killer instinct is alive and well.

The Vipers crushed the West Central Wheatkings 7-1 on September 26 in Martensville in the team’s season opener.

It took the Vipers almost the entire opening period before they broke the scoreless game open.

Cohner Saleski wired a low shot from between the hash marks that beat Hudson Killiam to give the Vipers a 1-0 lead with just over five minutes remaining.

Vipers prepare for road games

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Warman Wolverines improved their record to four straight wins with a 38-26 victory over the visiting Delisle Rebels on Friday, September 25.

But it was the toughest game of the season so far.

“Yeah, definitely,” said Wolverines quarterback Dominic Froese. “They put up a heck of a fight.

There was a bunch of times when I was looking to throw and there was a guy right there on top of me.”

Despite the pressure from a determined Delisle defense, the Warman O-line was just as stubborn, allowing Froese just enough time to connect on several long passes.

Warman coach Tyler Scheidt said the game was a good indication of what’s to come in the final half of the season.

“Delisle played great,” said Scheidt. “And we expect nothing less from them because they’re a well-coached group and they always come ready to play hard. I don’t know if we matched their intensity right off but our kids put points on the board when we needed to and played hard defensively and made big stops when we needed to as well.”

Scheidt said Warman had to alter its game plan early in the opening quarter.

“They stopped our run game in the early going,” said Scheidt.

“That’s been our bread and butter so far; but obviously it wasn’t working so we had to go to the air.”

Delisle coach Ken Byers said despite his team being “banged up” he was happy to see them raise their level of play. He credited punter Jordan Valkamp with “changing the field” at key points in the game.

“It was a good game but Warman was definitely the better team today,” said Byers, conceding the Rebels tend to be in a lot of close contests.

“We do seem to play to the same level as the team we go up

WANT TO MAKE A

against,” said Byers. “I think that’s why we had a good game today against Warman. We knew it was going to be really tough. Obviously, we need to work harder in practice and hopefully we’ll be healthy when we play Warman again in two weeks’ time.”

Warman got off to a quick start thanks to an 80-yard touchdown run by veteran running back Damien Delnea on their first play of the game. A field goal midway through the first quarter by Jayson Lindo increased the Wolverines’ lead to 10-0.

But the Rebels rebounded late in the opening quarter when quarterback James Shirley and running back Sam Michnik engineered a touchdown drive. Heading into the second quarter Warman held a slim 10-9 lead.

Delisle grabbed the lead thanks to a go-ahead touchdown with just under three minutes to go in the half, but Warman answered right back with a 40-yard pass and run touchdown play to Lindo to restore their one-point lead at 17-16. Delnea scored another touchdown for Warman on a 35-yard scamper a minute later to increase the lead to 24-16 at the half.

The teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter, with Lindo scoring for Warman and Brant Wiebe for Delisle, making it 31-23.

In the fourth quarter, Delisle backup quarterback Colten Noel kept his team in the game after starting pivot Shirley was injured. The Rebels kept eating away at the Warman lead, but weren’t able to manufacture the big scores.

Delisle had to settle for a single and later a two-point safety after being stopped on Warman’s five yard line with four minutes left in the game.

With the score 31-26 and Delisle starting on a desperate last-minute drive from their own 10-yard line, Warman’s Lindo returned an interception for a touchdown to salt the game away.

Warman’s next game is Friday, October 2 when they host Kindersley. Delisle plays in Martensville on Friday, October 2.

Royals earn first win of season over Spartans

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Martensville Royals are hoping their first win of the season is a sign of things to come.

The Royals spanked the host Meadow Lake Spartans 38-0 on Friday, September 25. The victory brings Martensville’s record to 1-3 on the season and gives a much-needed shot of confidence for the team.

“It was really good to get that win under our belts,” said Royals head coach Lyle Evanisky in an interview on Monday, September 28.

“We were confident going into the game, and it gave us a chance to work on things that we’ve had trouble with in the past, particularly our offense.”

Evanisky said the Royals defense was the dominant factor in the game, giving the offense great field position to start drives. He said quarterback Reidar Fee had a strong game.

“We were able to score touchdowns with three different guys in the backfield,” said Evanisky, noting Ryley Decorby, Tristen Williams and Keegan Lussier all found the end zone on offense.

Martensville touchdowns also came from special teams players and the defensive corps, added Evanisky.

“Logan Heck returned a punt for a touchdown, and Dylan Gutek recovered a fumble in the Spartans’ end zone for a touchdown as well,” he said.

Evanisky said the team came out of the game with no injuries. Having a healthy roster with an extra boost of confidence should help the team make a strong statement in its next home game against the Delisle Rebels on Friday, October 2.

“We had a good game defensively against Delisle earlier this season,” said Evanisky. “We slowed them down, and that’s what you need to do against a team like that.”

Evanisky said the big focus for the team’s practices this week will be on offense.

“If we can move the ball we’ll be able to score some points,” he said.

Personals AVAILABLE BACHELORETTE Looking for someone you cannot wait to see again!

Jane is a beautiful, sweet girl who is a nurse and looking for the right man.

Jane has never been married, has no children, and no baggage. She loves football, hockey, going to concerts, and just being outdoors. She is very down to earth and easy to get along with.

She’s a great listener and always wants to help others. Jane is not one to go to bars, and has had a hard time meeting the right person in her small community.

She is very open and accepting of people.

She’s non-judgmental, and cares more about who someone is on the inside rather than on the outside.

She’s looking for a good man who is energetic, fun, adventurous, has a good sense of humor, is down-to-earth, and is a little bit romantic.

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19

Capricorn, expect to be excited by a budding relationship.

Open up to friends or family members so you can share this positive development with loved ones.

AQUARIUS January 20– February 18

Waiting patiently this week will not get the job done, Aquarius. You may have to be more assertive to get things done. Others will understand and prove helpful.

PISCES February 19– March 20

Pisces, a problem at work seems tough to crack. Take your time and try a new approach, and you will be happy with the results.

ARIES March 21– April 19

Aries, it may be challenging to express your true feelings, especially when you fear what others may think. Just do what feels comfortable to you.

TAURUS April 20– May 20

Take a sentimental journey with a loved one, Taurus. You never know what examining your emotions will uncover, and you will get to spend quality time together.

GEMINI May 21– June 21

Gemini, you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone this week. Your gift for gab makes you a fun person to have around.

sudoku

CANCER June 22– July 22

Cancer, someone may catch you off guard this week and you don’t have your go-to plan in place. Worry not, as you will rebound quickly and bounce back in a big way.

LEO July 23– August 22

Leo, it may seem like everyone is hanging on every word you say this week. Don’t worry about performing, just continue to do what gravitates people toward you.

VIRGO August 23– September 22

Virgo, although you’re not a big fan of the spotlight, this week you will be asked to handle a situation on center stage. You just may enjoy the situation, so don’t fret about it.

LIBRA September 23– October 22

Libra, share your long-term goals with colleagues and you may find some unexpected allies. Support can only help your efforts even further.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21

Scorpio, set personal feelings aside when dealing with professional matters. Allowing emotion to get in the way of your goals will only end up affecting you.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21

Sagittarius, this is a great time to try something new.

Whether it’s a new food or a new experience you’ve been looking to try, dive right in and enjoy the excitement.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2015

New Building Canada Fund falls short of needs, hinders growth, says SUMA During the 2015 federal election, the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) is once again calling for a permanent, long-term, sustainable, and predictable infrastructure program that increase the overall amount of funding available for municipal infrastructure projects.

“Saskatchewan municipalities need a program that helps us tackle the challenge of providing the services and infrastructure needed to accommodate growth, attract business and new residents, and deal with a significant infrastructure deficit from years of underfunding,” said SUMA President Debra Button. “Saskatchewan’s predictable allocation of the New Building Canada Fund works out to $43.67 million annually over 10 years that must be shared between the province and 800 municipalities.

That figure is woefully inadequate and doesn’t even begin to meet the urgent demand for infrastructure in our cities, towns, and villages.”

While municipalities own more than 60 per cent of Canada’s public infrastructure, they collect fewer than 10 cents from every tax dollar paid in Canada, with the

balance going other orders of government. On their own, municipalities simply don’t have the revenue-generating tools to cover their infrastructure needs, especially when they are expected to meet growing needs for policing, housing, the environment, and settlement of newcomers, including many responsibilities downloaded from other orders of government.

Under the New Building Canada Fund (NBCF), municipalities must apply to the province for funding for local infrastructure projects that meet criteria laid out by the federal government.

In January 2015, municipalities submitted 334 applications for projects totaling a $1.5 billion. Only 26 applications were accepted for projects totaling $11.5 million.

“Of $1.5 billion in eligible municipal projects – less than one per cent was approved, meaning there’s still roughly $1.5 billion worth of projects on the table,” said President Button. “We anticipate the next intake will be in 24 to 36 months, and I can only imagine what the total amount requested will be at that point.”

Button said the inadequate amount of federal funding for infrastructure,

combined with the slow speed at which funding is made available is also hindering economic growth in Saskatchewan communities.

“As an example, the village Earl Grey with a population of 239 needs a lagoon expansion to accommodate its growing community. The project will cost $800,000; the village and its residents can’t bear that cost without other orders of government contributing,” said President Button. “Earl Grey applied for funding under the NBCF, but their application was denied. Until the lagoon is expanded, future lot developments won’t be approved.”

SUMA is calling on all parties running in the 2015 federal election to commit to introducing a permanent, long-term, sustainable, and predictable infrastructure program that increases the overall amount of funding available for municipal infrastructure projects.

“Any new program must be flexible and should not limit the types of projects that can be funded. This program must also allow municipalities to choose priority projects,” Button said.

“Municipalities and our residents cannot fund this alone.”

Community rink program back for another year The Government of Saskatchewan is once again offering the Community Rink Affordability Grant to communities across the province.

The Government of Saskatchewan is committing $1.7 million to the grant program in 2015. Over the past

three years, the program has granted $4.8 million supporting the operations of 1,941 recreational ice surfaces all over Saskatchewan. The grant helps support operations and minor capital upgrades. The Community Rink Affordability Grant provides funding to

Saskatchewan’s community-owned indoor skating and curling rinks. Communities, schools, non-profits and First Nations are eligible to apply. Applications are being accepted until December 15, 2015. Successful applicants get a grant of $2,500 per indoor ice surface.

PUBLIC NOTICE Please take note that pursuant to Section 13 of the Municipalities Act, the R.M. of Corman Park No. 344 intends to close and sell the following roadways within the Applewood Estates country residential development: Portion of Block S10, Plan 201129915, Ext 0; Surface Parcel No. 202816863 INTENT Proposed Bylaw No. 39/15 will provide notice of intent to permanently close and sell the portion of roadway which provides access to the Applewood Estates country residential subdivision from Patience Lake Road (Highway No. 394).

The new approach location will connect the subdivision through an area which was previously designated as Municipal Reserve. The previous location of the approach from Patience Lake Road will be removed and converted into Municipal Reserve land and the access point to the subdivision at that location shall be removed.

AFFECTED LANDS The affected lands are a portion of land contained within Portion of Block S10, Plan 201129915, Ext 0; Surface Parcel No. 202816863 of the SW 13-36-4-W3 shown shaded on the attached map.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park No. 344 intends to adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007.

INTENT The proposed Bylaw 48/15 will allow for the sale of a portion of Municipal Reserve lands no longer required by the R.M. of Corman Park for the purpose of parks and open space. The parcel is located within the Applewood Estates subdivision. The reason for the sale of the Municipal Reserve is to alter the approved subdivision plan and re-orientate the location of the approach onto Patience Lake Road and the location of the Municipal Reserve. Due to spacing concerns the approach must be re-located to the west in an area currently used for Municipal Reserve. The previous location of the approach from Patience Lake Road (Highway No. 394) will be removed and converted into Municipal Reserve land and the access point to the subdivision at that location shall be removed.

AFFECTED LANDS The affected lands are a portion of land contained within Parcel MR2, Plan 102129915 Ext.0 located in portion of the SW 13-36-4-W3 shown cross-hatched on the attached map.

Category winners were: (Under 16) Ava Johnson (Over 16) Gillian Pearson (Group) Ava Johnson and Alex King.

Fall legislative session to begin Oct. 13 Premier Brad Wall has announced a 25 day fall sitting of the Legislative Assembly will begin on October 13. This is expected to be the last sitting of the Assembly before the provincial election scheduled for April 4, 2016.

Wall said because this is the last sitting before the election, it will be a continuation of the current 2014-15 session of the Legislature.

That means there will not be a Throne Speech, giving MLAs more time to debate new legislation introduced by the government.

“The normal process is to introduce bills in the fall sitting and pass them in the spring sitting,” Wall said. “However, there will be no spring sitting until after the election. There are a few pieces of legislation we want to pass before the election, so we are deviating from the normal calendar just a bit to provide more time to debate those bills.

“The fall sitting will still be its normal length of 25 sitting days, giving MLAs plenty of time to debate bills and ask questions.”

Wall said the government

will be looking to pass a bill that was introduced in the spring to reduce magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) wait times by allowing private MRIs in Saskatchewan.

The government also plans to introduce amendments to the various municipal acts based on recommendations made as a result of an inquiry into conflict of interest in the RM of Sherwood, and amendments to the province’s essential services law to make it compliant with a recent Supreme Court ruling.

ASQUITH FIRE DEPARTMENT & First responders

Volunteer fire departments across the region are reminding residents during Fire Prevention Week to keep their smoke alarms in good working order. The Asquith Fire Deparmtent includes: Fire Chief Colin Graham, Deputy Fire Chief John Dahlseide, Captain Blaine Ganchar, Captain Darren Kraft, Captain Rick Bueckert, Kirkland Graham, Ron Hyggen, Merv Reimer, Dwayne Kindt, Leroy Fraser, Corey Fraser, Don Urquhart, Henry Berg, Lenore Harrison, Diane Haugrud, Lorna Burks, Dean Diederichs, Mike Millar, Terry Zerbin, Tamarie Hudon

Smoke alarms need to be in good condition in order to keep families safe

Homeowners must focus on both the location and age of their smoke alarms to ensure family members will wake up during an overnight fire, says a safety expert.

Statistics from the United States show that at least onehalf of all home fire deaths occur between 11 pm and 7 am, the time when most people are asleep. Canadian officials are certain the same trend exists here.

To emphasize the importance of being awakened during an overnight fire emergency, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has coined its theme for its 2015 Fire Prevention Week – “Hear The Beep Where You Sleep: Every Bedroom Needs A Working Smoke Alarm.”

Across North America, from October 4-10, fire departments will be out en masse reinforcing the basics of home fire safety. Fire Prevention Week garners huge support in Canada, so much so that classroom educational programs for teachers, primary school visits by firefighters and a myriad other special community events extend the week into a month-long safety campaign.

“We know that smoke alarms at least double your family’s chance of a safe escape. But to provide that critical early warning, they need to be installed in all the right locations and they need to be working,” says Carol Heller, a home safety specialist with smoke and carbon monoxide alarm manufacturer, Kidde Canada.

Although most cities, towns, provinces and territories have adopted their own version of Canada’s Building Code at a minimum, one smoke or combination smoke/CO alarm should be installed outside every sleeping area of a home.

“Fire Prevention Week is a great time to remind people that if you’ve taken down a smoke alarm after burning the toast and forgotten to put it back up, or

removed batteries and left an alarm unpowered, you are placing your family at severe risk,” Heller adds.

“This is not a trivial issue.

In almost two-thirds of fatal house fires, investigators find that smoke alarms were either not present, or, were missing batteries.”

Heller’s other cautionary advice centres on aging smoke alarms. She is quick to point out that even if an alarm sounds when you push its Test button, that only means circuits are working and power is getting to the unit. It does not mean the alarm’s sensors are operating at full sensitivity.

After being exposed to years of dust, cooking grime, pet fur and other airborne contaminants Heller warns that sensors could lose responsiveness. That’s why the NFPA recommends that if your smoke alarm is more than 10 years old or you can’t remembers its age, whether it is hardwired or

battery powered, replace it immediately.

For CO alarms, any models purchased prior to 2009 should also be replaced.

Heller also notes that latest-generation alarm technology can help provide peace of mind.

“Talking alarms that call out a warning in addition to beeping can help wake sleeping family members, “ says Heller. Specifically designed for installation in or right outside the bedroom, the Kidde Worry Free Bedroom Smoke Alarm features a voice alarm that says the words ‘Fire, Fire’ in both English and French, which accompanies an 85 decibel alarm tone.

Having a 10-year lithium battery sealed inside the alarm, a feature of all Worry-Free models, makes the alarms virtually tamperproof and eliminates the risk associated with disabling the alarm.

Special options also exist for the hearing impaired.

The Kidde Strobe Light is designed to be used in conjunction with smoke, CO or heat alarms in interconnected systems. The strobe light provides a bright visual signal, over and above the 85 db beep. The strobe flashes once per second.

Fire marshals launch youth fire safety campaign

A Canadian edition of the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) popular children’s educational series – Learn Not to Burn (LNTB), has been released by the Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners in conjunction with fire departments across the province and the fire and carbon monoxide safety web site, safeathome.ca.

Teachers, pre-school educators and parents from Saskatchewan can benefit from free access to the made-for-Canada edition of the LNTB curriculum, to complement community Fire Prevention Week initiatives, October 4-10.

Teachers across Saskatchewan have been invited to download free Learn Not to Burn Lessons at www.safeathome. ca/lntb, and parents are encouraged to support the effort at home by using the online family fire safety activities.

The Learn Not to Burn National School Outreach runs all October long, and culminates on Sunday, November 1st at 10 am with the Great Canadian Smoke Alarm Test, when families across Canada are encouraged to test their smoke alarm, where applicable, in conjunction with time change weekend and register their success online.

Environment and economy equally important, says NDP candidate

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Glenn Wright of Vanscoy is committed to creating a strong economy and protecting the environment.

While some people may think those two objectives are at odds with each other; Wright, a 39-year-old manager at a northern Saskatchewan uranium mill, says that’s not the case.

“I want to see us develop the economy and the environment at the same time,” said Wright, the NDP candidate in the federal constituency of Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek. “I know it can be done; and it’s the responsibility of good government to do that.”

In an interview in late September, Wright said after earning his degree in mechanical engineering and working in the resource extraction field for many years, he has seen first-hand the need for strong environmental regulation. He said the uranium industry can serve as a model for other resources.

“There are really two different standards,” said Wright. “I would like to see the standard for oil and gas, and even potash, be brought up to what I see in the uranium business. We need a good regulatory environment to ensure the public is protected and the environment is protected.”

Wright said the NDP is not opposed to development.

“We want to see responsible development,” he said. “It’s possible to build the economy and protect the environment at the same time.

I realize there are costs associated with that, but they can be phased in over time.

What we need is a government committed to doing that.”

Pediatric endocrine and diabetes care enhanced Saskatchewan children and teenagers living with diabetes and endocrine conditions have received a needed boost in access to care.

Early this month, the Ministry of Health invested an additional $470,000 a year in funding to the pediatric endocrinology and diabetes program to support the hiring of a team of healthcare professionals dedicated to

providing optimal care for the children of Saskatchewan.

“Our vision is to create and maintain a center of excellence in Pediatric Diabetes and Endocrine care for Saskatchewan, and this investment is a critical initial step in fulfilling that vision,” says Dr. Munier Nour, pediatric endocrinologist with Saskatoon Health Region and University of Sas-

katchewan.

This funding builds on previous investments in the program, which saw Dr. Nour hired in 2014, followed

by Dr. Mark Inman in 2015.

The additional funding will be used to hire a team to support the program in delivering diabetes and endocrinology care, including diabetes and endocrinology nurses, a dietitian and a social worker.

SMOKE ALARMS >> They could save your life LOCATING/INSTALLING SMOKE ALARMS:

• Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

• For best performance, an alarm should be mounted on the ceiling in or near the centre of the room, hall or stairway, and at the head of each stairway leading to an occupied area.

• Optimum location for wall mounts is at least 15 cm (6 inches) from the ceiling but not more than 30 cm (19 inches) from it.

• Avoid installing where the temperature is less than 5oC (41oF) or exceeds 48oC (119oF).

• Keep alarms away from doors and windows.

• Never locate an alarm in front of an air register, fans or vents.

• Keep alarms at least 60 cm (2 feet) from any corner.

• Do not recess smoke alarms in walls or ceilings!

• Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 30 cm (one foot) rise per 2.4 m (eight feet) horizontally should be located on the high side of

• Never paint a smoke alarm.

• Keep alarms 60 to 90 cm (two to three feet) away from light fixtures.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: TESTING AND CLEANING:

591 Centennial Drive North Martensville, SK 306-242-7888 www.saskfunerals.ca

• Test your smoke alarm monthly and clean it every 6 months. Mark it on your calendar so that you don’t forget. Things to remember when testing your smoke alarm: • Ensure that power is being transmitted to the alarm and that it will activate in the presence of smoke.

• Test your smoke alarm by pressing the test button.

• Even alarms with a pilot light that indicate power is being transmitted, should be tested regularly.

• Battery-operated smoke alarms: make it a habit to change the batteries yearly.

• When you’ve been away from home for a few days, check your alarm on your return to ensure it is working properly.

• Remember, your smoke alarm can’t protect you if the batteries have been removed or a plug has been disconnected.

• The lifespan of a typical smoke alarm is about 10 years, but some models last as little as 5 years.

• To clean the alarm, open the cover and gently vacuum the interior of it. Frequently, the alarm will sound while the unit is being cleaned.

Proud of those who protect our communities!

DEEP FRYING

• Keep a pan lid or cookie sheet handy in case grease or oil catches fire. The lid or cookie sheet should be slid over the top of the pan to smother the fire.

• Never attempt to move a flaming pot or pan away from the stove. The movement can fan the flames and so spread the fire. The pan will also likely be very hot, causing you to drop it. In either case, you are placing yourself at great risk. Your immediate action should be to smother the fire by sliding a lid or flat cookie sheet

over the pan. Afterwards, turn off the heat and exhaust the fan, allowing the pan time to cool. Most importantly, react fast, because grease fires spread very quickly.

OVEN COOKING

• Keep your oven clean. Grease and food splatters can ignite at high temperatures.

• Ensure that you wear oven mitts when removing cooking containers to avoid serious burns.

• Follow the cooking instructions for the recipe and the product you are using.

• Broiling is a popular method of cooking. When you use your broiler, place the rack 5 to 8 cm (two to three inches) from the broiler element. Always place a drip pan beneath the broiler rack to catch the fat drippings. Never use aluminium foil for this purpose because the fat accumulated on the foil could catch fire or spill over.

MICROWAVE COOKING

Microwave ovens are a marvellous time-saving tool, but there are three characteristics of microwave cooking you should be cognisant of: • Foods, like those in high-fat or sugar, can heat very rapidly but feel cool to the touch. Pastry fillings can be very hot, but the crust cooler. Milk in baby bottles could be boiling, but the bottle itself not very hot to the touch. Use caution at all times.

• The heat is reflected by the metal interior. Heat can pass through glass, plastic and other materials. Heat is absorbed by the food. Do not use tin foil or any other metal objects in the microwave. If a fire occurs, keep the door closed and unplug the unit. Call a qualified maintenance technician to ensure the microwave is in proper working order before using it again.

• The location of the nearest two exits?

• Who needs assistance in the event of an emergency IF YOU DON’T KNOW, FIND OUT NOW! • Mobility-impaired? Have you informed your floor fire emergency officer?

• Read the posted fire emergency instructions • Report all fire hazards • When the fire alarm sounds follow the instructions as per the fire emergency plan

appropriate to install • Sleep with doors closed; if children are frightened, parents can close doors after the children fall asleep and use a room monitor to hear them during the night • If awakened by a smoke alarm or a fire, instruct family members to feel the door for heat and check air at the bottom; if you don’t smell smoke and the air is cool, kneel and open the door slowly, turning your face away

from the opening; if smoke is present or the door is hot, use another exit • Purchase an A-B-C fire extinguisher, whose rating is based on the fuel: ‘A’ originates from a wood or paper fire, ‘B’ is caused by flammable liquids and ‘C’ is an electrical fire • Learn how to use fire extinguishers by remembering the acronym PASS. Pull the pin, Aim the extinguisher, Squeeze or press the handle and Sweep side-to-side at the base of the fire • If you live in an apartment building, develop your escape

plan taking into account fire escape procedures provided by building management • Make sure your babysitter understands your fire escape plan • Practice Your Escape Plan: regular practice is essential so that every family member knows what to do and will be able to react quickly • If anyone in your home is unable to evacuate without assistance, assign someone to assist them • Ensure that everyone in your home knows not to re-enter • Call the Fire Department from a neighbour’s home

THE WINTER SEASON AND CARBON MONOXIDE: It is important to install a carbon monoxide detector in your home. However, carbon monoxide detectors do not replace the need for prevention through yearly maintenance and inspection of heating systems and appliances.

• There must be an adequate supply of air for complete burning or combustion, or an excessive amount of carbon monoxide will accumulate indoors. Ensure that your wood stove or fireplace is not competing – for long periods of time – with your clothes dryer, kitchen, bathroom and attic vent fans, central vacuum cleaners and kitchen barbecues, which exhaust air from the home and so starve the furnace or the fireplace of oxygen.

• Proper venting of fuel-burning appliances to the outside is also essential to prevent collection of carbon monoxide gas inside buildings.

ral gas appliance (furnace, water heater, range, dryer, space heater or fireplace). Keep all fuel-burning equipment free of lint, dust and trash. Don’t store anything close to the equipment that could restrict air circulation.

• Do a visual inspection of the equipment to look for signs of equipment problems, such as soot on a fireplace face, water collecting near a burner or rusted venting. If even a small doubt exists, have the equipment inspected by a qualified technician.

• Periodically check vent pipes between gas appliances and the chimney for corrosion or rust.

• Equipment that uses natural gas should show a clear blue flame—a yellow or orange flame may indicate a problem. If a problem appears, call a qualified technician.

• Ensure a source of fresh air is available, for an example an open window or flue, when operating a wood-burning fireplace.

LEARNING FROM THE BEST

Volleyball was front and center on Thursday, September 24 as Warman High School held a Skills Camp for the WHS girls Junior and Senior Teams with Huskie Women’s Coach (Mark Dodds) and athletes from the U of S women’s team. This was followed by a Pack the Gym night as spectators had a chance to watch the Huskie Women’s Green and White Game followed by the Huskie Men’s Green and White Game.

Clavet’s Anne Handbridge (top), one of the veterans on the Huskies women’s volleyball team, made some great plays for the Green Team. Also playing on the Green team was Dalmeny’s Jennifer Hueser and Warman’s Jayden Weber (centre).

Warman senior girls B team competes in Weyburn tournament

By CORRIE POMARENSKI Senior B team Assistant coach The Warman High School (WHS) Senior Girls B team participated in the Weyburn Comprehensive Tournament this weekend where we were pooled with Weyburn Comp, Radville, Esterhazy and Lumsden. In the second pool was Weyburn Comp Jr, Montmartre, Arcola, MJ Vanier, and Meadow Lake.

Our first match was against Weyburn Comp after riding the bus all day and it was not a good showing at all for us. We lost both sets 25-10. We quickly collected ourselves and refocussed our goals and won our second match against Radville 25-16 and 25-20. Our final match of the evening was at 9:10 against Ester-

hazy, where we had two excellent sets (our best of the day). However, we lost in two back and forth sets, 2519 and 25-22.

We were fortunate to have a late morning game at 11 a.m. which allowed us to have a nice team breakfast and re-group before coming up against Lumsden.

We played a great match against them, splitting the games with a loss of 25-20 and a win 25-23.

This unfortunately put us in a tie against Lumsden for third place in our pool. Because we lost the split against them, we were pushed into fourth, having us carry on to the consolation final versus the tournament final. We handily won both our matches to take the

Consolation Gold. However, it was disappointing knowing that we split with the tournament winners (Lumsden).

Tournament results were: First place: Lumsden Second place: Esterhazy Third place: Weyburn Comp Fourth place: Meadow Lake The girls continue to be a force to be reckoned with, competing with strong teams. We look forward to co-hosting a large volleyball tournament with the Senior A team this weekend at WHS. Our girls play at the Legends Centre on Friday evening at 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.. Both the A and B teams play at the high school on Saturday. Come and cheer on the girls and see some great volleyball!

Ability In Me expands programming and kind of expecting what comes next then they can use signs, pictures and verbal language to communicate.”

Hoeft said learning to communicate through rhythm and melody comes naturally.

“One of the easiest ways to learn the beginnings of words or phrases is through singing. So we sing familiar songs and leave out one of the most predictable words.

It is kind of an instinct to finish the musical phrase.

Once children learn that

then they can work on specific sounds. It is a natural progression.”

Warman’s Tammy Pike said AIM has played a huge role in her young son Aiden’s speech development.

“He has responded very well to his therapist and the visual cues she has taught us have been a huge asset. With those cues, he has started imitating sounds, formed words and is now working on putting two words together,” said Pike.

Pike also said she is happy AIM’s programming has

evolved to include different age groups.

“AIM has been a much welcomed and appreciated program for us,” said Pike.

Ives said she has heard nothing but positive feedback from parents and educators since the program started, which she added is a testament to the great pathologists, teachers and therapists on staff.

AIM will be hosting its third annual workshop for professionals and parents/ caregivers November 6 in Saskatoon.

NEXT IS NOW JAMES TARRANT | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Lauren responds to gestures from Ability in Me (AIM) music therapist Leanna Hoeft, September 17.

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca It has been about nine months since the Government of Saskatchewan made a three-year funding announcement for the Ability in Me program in Saskatoon.

The focus of the non-profit, charitable organization is to offer specialized therapy and innovative programs to promote successful inclusion in home, school, and community for individuals with Down Syndrome and their families.

The program’s initial goal was to help attain speech pathologists for children and youth, but the program has recently branched out to offer other services says executive director Tammy Ives.

“We recently hired teachers for our early learning and literacy, youth programming. We just started the Bridge program. The Discovery program started recently and we are still accepting participants into that program. The Literacy program will probably start some time in October.”

The Discovery Group provides an enriched-learning program for children up to

30 months of age.

It is the first group experience families have in the AIM program. Its goal is to introduce parents and caregivers to techniques that will aid in their child’s development of speech, language, sensory processing, social skills and motor skills.

The Bridge program provides a early learning opportunity for children between 30 months and fiveyears of age.

In this program parents have the opportunity to collaborate with speech language pathologists, teachers, music and occupational therapists to target a wide variety of critical skills for the early years.

AIM currently has an estimated 69 children involved in its program and has enrollment from communities that include Saskatoon, Warman, North Battleford and Regina.

When the program was granted funding by the Government of Saskatchewan in January of 2015, it was a welcome surprise for the AIM board of directors.

Ives said government assistance – along with do-

nations from corporate sponsors, community organizations, families and individuals – has helped give the program credibility when applying for grant funding.

“We are happy to see how things have evolved so quickly. In addition to our pathologists and teachers we were also successful in getting two grants, which has allowed us to hire two new consultants. One being an occupational therapist and also a musical therapist who is part of our early learning programming,” said Ives.

Ives said the additional staff has enriched the learning environment for the children involved in the program. Leanne Hoeft, music therapist recently hired

by AIM, said children in the program will greatly benefit from various methods used to help enhance communication.

“The first thing I focus on is engaging, so getting them involved, interested, wondering about anticipation and what is coming next, and get them to take charge of that,” said Hoeft “Once they are having fun
