By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca With its new interim leader in place, the Conservative party last week SOLID MAPLE announced its shadow cabinet, which serves as opposition counterparts to cabinet positions. On Friday, Nov. 20, Rona Ambrose announced that she has appointed Kelly Block to serve as Transport Critic.

“I got the call asking me to fulfill this responsibility and I was happy to do so,” said Block. “Certainly coming from a province like Saskatchewan where we are land-locked and transportation is critical to our economic wellbeing, I think that could be one of the reasons why I was appointed,” she said. Block also served as parliamentary secretary to natural resources in the previous parliament and said there is some crossover between those two ministries.

“But certainly there are many things I’m going to have to learn in this ministry and I’ve already been doing a fair bit of reading,” said Block.

With Friday’s announcement, Ambrose said she believes the new opposition will be the strongest Official Opposition the country has ever seen.

Block has never served in the opposition before.

“I’ll be coming to terms with what my role in opposition will look like as well as being a critic in opposition,” she said.

“What I will be doing is working with my conservative colleagues and across party lines to ensure that the government implements policies and laws that will ensure Canadi-

They will also strive to protect the environment and promote economic growth, something they will continue to advocate for as a member of the opposition.

“It is an honour to serve www.woodworks.ca Canadians and our Conservative Caucus as the critic for Transport,” said Block in a press release. “As Canada is the second largest country in the world, transportation is extremely important to our economic growth.”

Block is heading to Ottawa this week to get sworn www.ruffsawn.ca in and then the following week she’ll be in Ottawa to see the session start.

After an extended fall run, the Clarkboro Ferry is now closed for the season.

The ferry was officially shut down on Friday, November 20 due to increasing ice buildup in the South Saskatchewan River as a result of colder temperatures.

The ferry normally closes in early November, but unseasonably mild weather allowed the operation to remain open until now.

The Clarkboro ferry, which is the busiest in the province with close to 45,000 crossings annually, averages approximately 220 trips per day. The ferry connects Warman and Aberdeen via Township Road 390.

The Hague Ferry and St. Laurent Ferry on the South Saskatchewan River are also closed, as are the Winguard Ferry and Paynton Ferry on the North Saskatchewan River. There are 306.934.1733 a total of 13 ferries in the province operated by the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure.

The only ferry still open for normal operations is the Riverhurst Ferry on Lake Diefenbaker.

Ministry of Highways rules out South Freeway option Uncertainty over development proposals in that area at an end

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca A proposed freeway connecting Highway 11 to Highway 7 in Saskatoon’s southwest quadrant will not go ahead at this time. That was the word from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) at their November 19 Open House.

“Based on the study and the feedback we received, the traffic volumes don’t warrant a freeway in that area, now or in the foreseeable future,” said Steve Shaheen, communications consultant for the MHI. “So that’s good news for a lot of people who were opposed to that.”

The ministry is working in partnership with the City of Saskatoon and the RM of Corman Park for this general location study for freeways routes around the city.

Residents of South Corman Park in particular, had expressed concern about route options for the southwest quadrant.

“I had so many calls and people were so worried about it,” said Corman park Reeve Judy Harwood.

“I’m pleased as punch that they’ve taken the west side off the table. It’s not something we need right now. It could be 40 or 50 years out.”

Harwood said she never believed the southwest corridor route would happen, and that putting the question in front of residents upset them unnecessarily. Fortunately, that uncertainty and the concerns about declining property values have been laid to rest. According to Harwood, development that was put on hold in South Corman Park for this reason, can now proceed.

The second priority of the

open house was to invite public feedback for freeway options from the southeast quadrant.

“We’ve narrowed it down to three options for the piece that would join Highway 11 to Highway 5 towards Humboldt,” said Shaheen.

Comment forms were available on round tables in the open house at the German Concordia Club. “We’re trying to get the public’s feedback on those different options and then we’ll come back in the spring based on their feedback and further study,” said Shaheen.

The public can provide any relevant material or thoughts, what their preferences are, why they’re opposed to one option, or why they like another one.”

The partnership has already approved the alignment for the freeway location in the southeast quadrant going north. Currently, there’s no planned time frames for construction or costs, Shaheen said.

“We’re not at that point, but what we’re trying to do is get the general location and then going forward, the next step would be to go through the detailed design.”

Both Shaheen and Harwood were encouraged by the turnout to this open house, particularly given that the first winter weather of the season just unloaded.

The Ministry of Highways hosted a June open house that drew 400 people.

The high speed freeway around the city expects to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and increase safety.

If you missed the latest open house, you can find the information that was presented online at www.highways.gov.sk.ca .

Martensville, Warman top list for tax fairness

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Martensville, Warman and Saskatoon are ranked first, second and third respectively among Saskatchewan cities in property tax fairness for businesses, according to a survey by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

The CFIB released its 2014 annual comparison of property tax gaps between Saskatchewan municipalities on Thursday, November 19.

According to the CFIB, the “property tax gap” measures “the ratio of commercial and residential property tax bills for properties assessed at $200,000.”

Martensville ranked at the top of the list, which included all 15 cities in the province, with a municipal property tax gap of 1.50.

Warman was ranked sec-

ond with a 2014 municipal property tax gap of 1.66.

Saskatoon was third with a 2014 municipal property tax gap of 1.77.

The overall results for 2014 were mixed across the province. On average, commercial property owners paid 2.28 times the municipal property taxes of residential property owners.

Martensville Chamber of Commerce President Trent Ens said the tax gap “definitely has a bearing” on a municipality’s competitiveness when it comes to attracting and retaining businesses.

“Part of the reason we built here in Martensville was because of that,” said Ens. “On the tax side it was attractive, especially for new businesses because when you’re starting out your overall cash flow is a

little bit tighter.”

Ens said it’s no coincidence that business investment is strong in the top three cities in the CFIB’s list. He said he is hopeful that Martensville will continue that policy.

Elise Hildebrandt, President of the Warman Chamber of Commerce, said she’s encouraged by the survey.

“As a Chamber of Commerce we are thankful that the City of Warman has one of the lowest tax gaps in the province, thus allowing our community to grow both residentially and commercially,” said Hildebrandt.

“We will continue to work for our members and with the City of Warman to keep it affordable to live and operate a business here.”

Warman had lower property tax rates for both residential and commercial

property than Martensville, but a slightly higher tax gap between the two. Martensville’s 2014 residential municipal property tax rate per $200,000 of assessed value was $1,639, and a commercial municipal property tax of $2,455 per $200,000 of assessed value. Warman had a 2014 residential municipal property tax rate of $1,368 per $200,000 of assessed value and a commercial property tax rate of $2.276 per $200,000 of assessed value.

CFIB’s 8th annual report, Wanted: Property Tax Fairness in Saskatchewan examines municipal and total property tax gaps for 69 municipalities and 32 Rural Municipalities (RMs) with a population of 1,000 or more.

Borden School breakfast benefits students Property tax fairness

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Every second Tuesday morning at the Borden School, students make a beeline for the breakfast that is set out for them.

It’s the first order of ‘business’ after the school bus drops them off.

The breakfast typically consists of a muffin, a piece of fruit and a glass of juice.

On this particular morning, it’s a delish-looking loaf cut in thick slices, a mandarin orange and purple juice let’s go with grape.

“It fits all that research that says, if kids get proper nutrition they’re more alert,” said Borden school principal, Dean Broughton.

“I would say kids are awake and kids are happier. Happy kids learn better. That fit is there too.”

The original Borden School Breakfast Program ran for a few years and then the funding disappeared.

The school applied for the Breakfast for Learning grant at the end of last year, for this year, but was denied.

So they decided to take matters into their own hands. The revitalized program started last year and is currently being run by volunteers with a little help from the inside.

“Last year we had a lot of parent volunteers come and they would set it up in the morning,” said Gwen Dyck, educational associate. “This year the parent/grandparent/bus driver volunteered to do them all.”

But she can’t do much till the bus gets there, so Dyck has been covering the early bits. That includes delivering breakfast to the K to 6 rooms, and setting it out in the hallway for high schoolers.

“It’s definitely a holistic, ‘for everyone’ idea,” said Broughton. “It has become a school cultural norm.

Kids love it whether they’ve had breakfast or not. When you’re a teen if there’s food out, you’ll eat it.”

Broughton said the School Community Council (SCC) also plays a role. The students wanted the breakfast so SCC bought a deep freeze for food storage so it’s ready to go when needed.

At times, smoothies or pancakes, have substituted for baking - whatever the volunteers want to bring.

The food is left sitting out until the first recess, and if it hasn’t vanished after that, “the staff may start to pick at it,” said Broughton, with a chuckle.

The real desire is to grow the program and make it at least a weekly occurrence.

“I just remember when my oldest started kindergarten or grade one and the program was happening, and I thought it was a good thing,” said Dyck, a parent who also sits on the SCC. “I’ve heard teachers say they notice a difference when kids have had something to eat in the morning,” said Dyck.

Established in 1906, the Borden School currently has 94 students, 55 of whom are bused into town.

With breakfast in hand, they’re just a little better prepared to meet the day.

varies from city to city

The gap measures the ratio of commercial and residential property tax bills for properties assessed at $200,000.

“The good news is some municipalities do a better job than others in making municipal property taxes more fair for small businesses,” said Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIB’s Vice-President, Prairie and Agri-business.

“However, the bad news is many Saskatchewan business owners continue to pay more than their fair share and get the short-end of the property tax stick.”

In fact, Saskatchewan commercial property owners paid from $1.14 to $5.14 for every dollar in municipal property taxes paid by homeowners.

In Saskatchewan’s 15 Cities, it ranged from $1.50 to $4.20, with an average of $2.49. The full survey can be found online at the CFIB’s website.

Pavloff re-elected Chair of PSSD Board

The Prairie Spirit Board of Education held its annual organizational meeting as part of the Board’s regular meeting on Monday, November 16.

The Board elected Larry Pavloff as its Chair for the sixth consecutive year.

Pavloff has been a Prairie Spirit Trustee since the school division was formed through the amalgamation of three legacy school divisions in 2006.

He was a high school teacher for 30 years and currently runs a small business.

“In my role as a Trustee, I want to continue to work for students from a position away from the classroom,” Pavloff said.

Trustee Sam Dyck was re-elected as the Board’s Vice-Chair, a position he has held since 2008.

He was first elected as a Trustee of the legacy Sask Valley School Division in 2000, after serving as a District Board Trustee for nine years.

“For me, being a Trustee is a part of my community service,” he explained. “As a Trustee, it is my responsibility to advocate for all children and youth.”

In addition to the election of the Chair and ViceChair, the Board approved membership in a variety of Board and Staff Committees.

Budget 2016/17

The Board of Education has determined the priorities, principles and com-

mitments that will guide the development of the 2016/17 budget. The Board’s budget priorities continue to be student and adult learning.

“In order to support improved student achievement, we must support adult learning in our school division,” explained Board Chair Larry Pavloff.

The Board identified the fundamental values that will direct their budget decisions for 2015/16: * Supporting a “student first” approach * Supporting the My Prairie Spirit Classroom philosophy * Gathering voice * Ensuring transparent communication * Following respectful practices The Board has also committed to continuing its advocacy work for equitable funding with the provincial government and to submitting a balanced budget in June 2016.

Because the 2015/16 budget was balanced through the use of $2.5 million in reserve funds, the school division will begin budget deliberations with a $2.5 million deficit. The provincial Education Funding Model Review Committee is expected to complete its work in January 2016, and will make public recommendations. This work may have an impact on Prairie Spirit’s level of funding.

-READERS OPINIONS A plea at our borders

I came across a yellowed newspaper page while sorting my mother’s papers for her. It was a Editorial Page from The Village Press. (Was this the former name of the Gazette?) On this page was a poem written by my mother entitled Plea at our Borders. The poem was signed, A local poet.

I would like to share it with you. In light of the current events surrounding the plight of refugees and immigrants worldwide, but particularly, of course, from Syria, I found it to be still relevant almost 30 years later.

Plea at Our Borders I love this land so vast and free, haven for those who are forced to flee.

They flock to our borders, with hearts full of hope.

Will we share our good fortune, or make them wait?

We wake in the morning to the sounds of birds, they waken to horrors that to us are unheard.

They long for our prairies and can peacefully die.

Thank God for the land that we possess.

Will we share its blessings and offer them rest?

A local poet (aka Betty Epp) Jean Epp-Gauthier

Regina bypass issue misrepresented in column

Thank you for the opportunity to correct numerous factual errors in Murray Mandryk’s column, “By-pass Bad Election Issue.”

Some errors are as simple as cost. Building the Bypass costs $1.2 billion, not $2B. And that’s firm. One benefit of a P3 is that builders agree to a price and it’s final - so unlike many government projects through history, it won’t go over budget.

Other statements, describing the Bypass as a “20-kilometer stretch of road,” raise more serious questions about the objectivity of his reporting. Between new highways, service roads, interchanges and repaving, the project reaches 464 single lane kms – the distance from Herbert to the Manitoba border.

He calls our P3 partner a “Paris-based conglomerate” when its lead builders are Graham, founded in Moose Jaw, and its designers are four companies out of Regina or Saskatoon.

In fact, P3s are good for business. The Swift Current Chamber of Commerce praised our P3 for Swift’s new long term care centre because it’s giving work to 28 Saskatchewan companies.

And lastly, our numbers have no $680M “risk fund” cushion. Financials were prepared by Ernst & Young. We’ve asked the builders to do more than just construct a Bypass. They must also accept most project risks (labour issues, bad weather, etc.), operate it (mowing, snow removal, lights), and maintain it in “like new” condition for 30 years.

All of these make up the difference between pure construction costs ($1.2B) and the total value of the 34-year contract ($1.88B). E&Y says the P3 saves us $380M – not counting $200M from the P3 Canada Fund.

People in Warman know how much traffic moves on Highway 1. Jobs, savings, safety. Those are the facts and why our government will continue to support the Bypass.

Gordon Wyant, Q.C. Minister responsible for SaskBuilds

Veterans also laid wreaths at ceremony Your article on the Warman Remembrance Day service in the last issue was good.

However, the reason we have this service is to honour veterans and service personel.

Your mentioning of wreath-laying was seen to include everybody except veterans and peacekeepers. Mayors are important but not to exceed the people for whom it is for.

Crown land fight attests to land value A wise man once said that land is the only thing that will continue to increase in value because it’s the one thing we all need and want that we can’t make anymore.

Of course, it’s not quite that simple.

Were it true; with half the arable land in the second biggest country in the world; a lot of rural Saskatchewan would be very rich.

Admittedly, farms have gotten much, much bigger; especially during the past two decades. And the value of land has steadily climbed in price.

But unless you have land right beside a city (or land with a lot of oil under it, with the mineral rights in your pocket) land in rural Saskatchewan doesn’t make you instantly rich.

That said, there has always been a recognition in rural Saskatchewan that the value of farmland goes beyond its monetary value, which takes us to the latest fight over the selloff of Crown pasture at what one group notes is below market value.

According to a group

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

called Public Pastures - Public Interest (PPPI); an environment group formed to prevent the sale of federal community pastures a while ago; the provincial government is now dumping its land to help balance its budget prior to an election.

And that is a bad policy because of both the ecological value of the land and the potential of this land for alternate uses in the future.

“These properties under the Wildlife Habitat Protection Act (WHPA) have a long-term value that can’t be given a bargain basement price and liquidated,” Trevor Herriot, PPPI co-chair, said in a press release earlier this month.

Herriot added the land should also be seen as an instrument to meet public policy goals in agriculture and conservation.

“In the future, we may want to use our Crown farmland to help young farm families get started or

to foster more sustainable land use practices,” Herriot said, adding some of the land now on the auction block was identified as far back as the 1980s and 1990s as having significant biodiversity value.

“All Crown land has ecological value,” Herriot said.

“The more we privatize Crown land, whether it has native grassland and high ecological value or not, the more we reduce our capacity to manage for climate change, food security, and conservation.”

For its part, the government is making no bones about the fact it’s getting out of the land ownership business, but insists it’s only doing so because it philosophically disagrees with being in the business of owning land.

In announcing the sale of 600,000 acres earlier this month, Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart announced current leaseholders would get preferential offers.

“All agricultural Crown land, including cultivated, grazing and hay land that is deemed to have no public value will be sold under this program,” Stewart stated in

a press release.

That sale offer would include a 15-per-cent discount offered to lessees until March 31, then reduced to 10 per cent for the rest of 2016.

By Jan. 1, 2017, the discount will be five per cent.

And while lessees will be allowed to continue to rent the land, rates will increase by 15-per-cent in 2016 and by 30 per cent in 2017; all in the name of the government getting out of the land business.

And Stewart argued that “there will be no difference, whether it’s leased land or privately owned land” on how land is treated from an ecological standpoint.

“This land is all farmed.

None of it is native grassland,” Stewart said.

The Agriculture Minister added that high-value ecological land will not be sold under the program, while discounts won’t apply to the sale of moderate-value lands.

It’s an interesting debate over this pastureland value that most everyone agrees is of limited monetary value.

But it does say much about how we value land in a lot of different ways.

NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS

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

NEWS OR SPORTS STORIES

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

1. WHO was involved?

2. WHAT was the event?

3. WHEN and WHERE did the event occur?

4. WHY was the event important?

PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPS

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

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

final outcome of the photo in print.

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

produce “grainy” images that do not reproduce well.

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

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

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

the front row seated and the back row standing.

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

Warman students moved by revelations of Auschwitz survivor

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Seven families. One bathroom.

Life in the ghettos was just the beginning of the deportation process for Nate Leipciger and his family. When the Nazis began their pogrom it was by increments. This was just the first taste of deprivation.

Things would get worse for the Leipcigers and millions of others.

An Auschwitz II-Birkenau survivor, Leipciger told his story to 750 students at the Warman High School last week. The gripping account held the audience spellbound as Nate remembered those anguished years, from the ghetto to the concentration camps, when staying alive was a constant preoccupation.

“The first thing they did was they closed all Jewish schools,” he said. “That should have told us what they had in mind for us, the danger to us, but it didn’t.

Then they told us we had to leave our town.”

Leipciger was 11 when the Nazis invaded Poland. He was trained as an electrician and became an electrician’s helper. Whenever the ghetto families heard Nazi boots arriving, they crawled into clever hiding places.

But inevitably, by age 15 it was his family’s turn to be deported.

They could each take one suitcase. At the camp, women and men were separated. Through some quick thinking on the part of Nate’s father, he was placed in the column of men that was spared the gas chamber.

After a commission came through looking for healthy people, Nate and his father were moved out of Birkenau to another camp. They were moved from camp to camp to camp.

In January 1945 a fourday death march resulted in their ranks being depleted by a third. Two thousand of 6,000 died, from starvation, bleeding, cold and disease.

Leipciger said the most traumatic thing he experienced was on Yom Kippur when they were confined to the barracks. “The Nazis decided to play God. They took, depending on the records that you trust, between five and ten thousand people from the concentration camp to the gas chamber,” he said.

“I heard this unearthly noise coming from outside, so I jumped up on the top bunk and there was a slit between the roof and the wall of about four inches wide. I looked out and I saw something that I wished I never saw - naked women being transported on trucks to the gas chamber. That was a very traumatic moment because I found out years later that among those women were my sister and my mother.”

There were other brushes with death. But the journey led finally to liberation on May 2, 1945. It was a hollow victory.

“My father and I danced and we embraced and we laughed for a few seconds.

And then the reality of the thing came to us that we were free, but what about

members of our family, how many of them survived. We didn’t know.” They were already affected by typhus, which would kill thousands of prisoners after liberation.

Articulate and highly compelling, Leipciger’s story-telling manner reveals the undiminished mental agility of an engineer, his chosen profession.

After his talk, Leipciger said in an interview that he had been sexually abused in the concentration camps,

compounding the every day traumas. It’s a subject very few people talk about, he said, but he discusses it quite openly in his book, “The Weight of Freedom.”

Students lined up at microphones to ask Leipziger thoughtful questions. Vice Principal Russell Dyck of Warman High said having this “living, walking, breathing” piece of history come along, is likely a once in a lifetime experience. “I think the learning in the

The event was arranged through the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission on the recommendation of the group, “Think Good Do Good.”

Leipziger said coming to Canada three years after the war was “like honey in your mouth.” His nine grandchildren have gone back with him these last many years to do the ‘march of the living,’ the opposite of the death march, from Auschwitz to Birkenau which is three kilometres. With fierce humanity, he is teaching them to be up-standers, not bystanders, in the face of injustice.

icy highways lead to collisions

Warman Fire Rescue members responded to three incidents shortly before noon on Tuesday, November 24. A two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 11 and the Central Street entrance resulted in some damage to the two vehicles involved, but no injuries to the drivers of either vehicle. In a separate incident, a vehicle which skidded off the road into the ditch south of the railway overpass on Highway 11 near Warman was able to get back on the road again, but a second vehicle that barely avoided a Warman Fire Rescue emergency vehicle stopped at that location also ended up in the ditch. There were no injuries in either incident. Highways in the area were extremely icy because of the new snowfall, and emergency responders and police urged motorists to use caution.

Warman maps out transportation plan to accommodate growth

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca With its population expected to more than double over the next decade, the City of Warman is laying the groundwork for a long-term transportation plan.

“We’ve reached a size now where we have to start looking seriously at our transportation network,” said Warman Planning and Development Manager Brad Toth. “Historically decisions on things like roadway signage, parking and speed limits have been made on a case-by-case basis.

“We need to have a better picture of what traffic volumes and patterns are now and what they’ll be like in the future so we can meet the needs of residents and businesses.”

Toth said the city is planning for a population of 21,000 in the next 10 to 15 years.

The results of a traffic study conducted earlier this fall were unveiled at a Transportation Master Plan open house in Warman on Wednesday, November 18. The study was conducted by Dillon Consulting under contract to the City of Warman during the months of September and October.

The study included data collection on traffic volumes; identification of existing and future transportation network deficiencies; and recommending options. It also reviewed current road classifications, speed limits, historical collision data, heavy haul routes, parking, school zones and signage.

An implementation strategy is slated to be drafted in December by civic administration.

Warman council is looking to adopt a transportation master plan in January.

“What we are hoping to get out of this study is a toolbox that will help us make decisions,” said Toth. “So in the future, if we get a request to install a stop sign or some sort of traffic control device at a specific in-

tersection, we can look at the data and make a determination based on whether it is warranted at that particular location.”

The open house was aimed at sharing results of the traffic study and also at gathering public input on the transportation master plan.

Paul Bumstead of Dillon Consulting said the study examined “the existing transportation infrastructure” with a view to “better managing traffic now and in the future” by taking anticipated growth into account.

“We started with data collection in September,” said Bumstead in an interview at the transportation open house. “We went to 25 key locations in the city and did mid-block vehicle counts on major roads as well as turning movements at major intersections.”

The major roadways included Centennial Boulevard, Central Street, 6th Avenue South, Highway 305, and Range Road 3051 (on Warman’s western boundary).

The average vehicle counts per day were tabulated for each roadway, and several patterns emerged from that data, said Bumstead.

On several major arterial roads, peak vehicle counts were recorded in the early morning and late afternoon, reflecting the movement of commuter traffic. On Centennial Boulevard, there was also a noticeable peak over the noon hour.

Central Street has a peak of about 475 vehicles between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. and reaches 500 vehicles between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Centennial Boulevard has the highest vehicle count during the afternoon peak period, averaging 525 vehicles between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. daily.

The study concluded that while most morning and afternoon peak hour traffic flows smoothly, there is morning congestion at the

The intersection of Central Street and 6th Avenue is one of the busiest in the City of Warman. A recentlycompleted traffic study by Dillon Consulting noted that traffic along major arterial roadways like Central Street and Centennial Boulevard is increasing, creating congestion and significant delays at peak hours during the day.

Martensville Notify Now emergency alert system up and running

Traffic volumes varied depending on the time of day intersection of Centennial Boulevard and 4th Street, as well as the intersection of Centennial Boulevard and Central Street.

Peak afternoon traffic congestion occurs at the intersection of Centennial and Central Street and also the Central Street and 6th Avenue intersections.

All three of those intersections noted for congestion are controlled by four-way stop signs.

grows and new residential and commercial developments come on stream, traffic patterns and volumes will likely change over time.

The master transportation plan is aimed at anticipating those changes and mitigating problems that may arise.

Details of the study and information on the transportation master plan are available online at the City of Warman website (www. warman.ca ).

The City of Martensville officially launched its “Notify Now” (notifynow) Emergency Alert Notifications Program on Tuesday, November 17.

Martensville Emergency Measures Coordinator Tracy Wilson-Gerwing said the notifynow system “allows us to alert residents when there is an emergency that may impact you and your loved ones.

“You can receive these important notifications by signing up at www.martensville.ca,” she said. “Using the “notifynow” button on the lower left of the screen, you register your contact information and subscribe to emergency notifications based on your location.

Wilson-Gerwing said the information residents provide is protected and will

not be used for any other purpose. When a notification is sent regarding a potential safety hazard or concern, residents receive a message. This system will be used to notify residents about imminent threats to health and safety as well as informational notifications that affect your locations or work environments.

Administrators will send notifications regarding severe weather, flooding, gas leaks, and othere events.

Wilson-Gerwing said the city is encouraging every resident of Martensville over the age of 16 to sign up to receive alerts.

Members of the community who do not have access to a computer to sign up can call 306-291-4575 to have their information added to the system.

Martensville maps out Warman snow removal priorities secures land

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The City of Martensville is aiming to have its main arterial roadways clear of snow within 18 hours of a major snowfall.

The city’s 2015 Snow and Ice Control Program was adopted by Martensville City Council at its regular meeting on Tuesday, November 17.

The plan gives priority to plowing and removing snow from arterial and collector streets within the city, as well as school drop off zones.

Sanding operations will focus on intersections as top priority.

Arterial roads are designated as Priority 1; collector streets are Priority 2; and residential streets are Priority 3 for snow clearing.

Parking restrictions on Priority 1 and 2 streets will be in place during snow clearing operations following moderate and heavy snowfalls.

Priority 1 arterial streets should be cleared within 18 hours of a major snowfall; while Priority 2 streets will be cleared within 36 hours of such an event.

The full plan is posted online on the city’s website at www.martensville.ca .

Information from the city’s Infrastructure and Planning Department notes that the program is aimed at allowing emergency responders to access major roadways during events such as blizzards.

Snowplowing involves pushing the snow off a street into linear snowbanks called windrows. Hauling of the snow will be undertaken as required, usually after all snowplowing operations are concluded.

The city will plow snow from arterial commercial roadside sidewalks. However, residents and property owners are required to clear the snow from their own sidewalks in most areas of the city.

deal for 2015 snow dump The City of Warman has reached a deal with KH Developments to use a parcel of land south of the community for a snow dump this winter. The arrangement was made public at a Warman City Council meeting on Monday, November 23.

The deal allows the city to utilize the land owned

by KH Developments, just north of Township Road 384, in exchange for reimbursement of the taxes for the years the snow dump is in use (approximately $4600), conducting a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment once the site is no longer used as a snow dump, providing signage for the site, and cleaning the site as early as possible in 2016.

The snow dump site is expected to be used for at least the next two years. The city is lalso ooking for a permanent site.

No shortage of recruits for Warman Fire Rescue, says Deputy Chief

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca While many volunteer fire departments in Saskatchewan are struggling for new members, that’s definitely not the case in Warman.

Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin said earlier this fall, there were a total of 28 applicants to fill four vacant positions within the department.

“We initially screened that down to 18 candidates

to start the process,” said Austin. “Eight of these applicants had tried to be hired before, and reapplied for another shot at getting on, while 20 applicants were brand new.”

Austin said this was the “polar opposite” of the provincial trend.

Austin said since he became Deputy Fire Chief two and a half years ago, Warman Fire Rescue has experienced a 90 per cent retention rate among mem-

bers.

“The process is tough but fair,” said Austin. “We make sure they really want to be here and can make that huge volunteer commitment before they are ever hired.

“Some really good people are just not going to get hired, simply because we don’t have room for them.

“We wish we could hire them all, for sure.”

Austin said Warman, Martensville, Osler and

Dalmeny have all run recruiting processes over the last two years, “and everyone seemed to be able to find enough applicants,” but noted there’s been a marked increase in interest among potential recruits in the Warman department.

“When you’re looking for four people and 28 step forward to serve their community, I think that really speaks volumes for the city,” he said. “I know for sure that three of those

15114MC2

28 applicants decided to buy houses in Warman based on the chance of being hired with the Warman Fire Department. We’re a young, progressive city and our department is welltrained and very well-supported by our mayor and council as far as equipment goes.”

Austin said Warman Fire Rescue is well on its way to responding to a record number of calls over the course of the year. As of the

11

end of October, the department responded to over 300 calls, including 200 medical and rescue-related calls and 100 fire calls. In 2014, the department responded to a total of 298 calls.

Martensville hosts provincial volleyball finals

By WAYNE SHIELS essenceofsask@gmail.com The best of high school volleyball was on display last weekend as Martensville High School hosted the 5A SHSAA girls volleyball championships on Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21. Visiting teams were impressed by the great facility and the well-run tournament.

The provincial championship was held at the newly-opened high school addition attached to the beautiful Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP). For people who were not able to travel to Martensville, students and staff at MHS provid-

ed a live feed allowing games be watched over the internet.

The host Royals were very competitive in all their games, including a close 24-26 loss to Saskatoon Bishop James Mahoney. They also went spike to spike with the eventual champions, Regina Campbell Collegiate Tartans, before losing 20-25. The Tartans were able to down the defending champions, the Balgonie Greenall Griffins 2-0 in the championship match. The bronze medal game featured two representatives from our region. Prince Albert St. Mary’s Marauders was able to defeat their cross-city rivals the Prince Albert Carlton Crusaders 2-1 to take home the bronze.

Hello from Mayor and Council,

Protective Services Medal

As the holiday season approaches, may your home be filled with lots of love, laughter and yummy smells!! November has been a month of many celebrations and accomplishments for the City of Warman. I want to take the time to highlight a few of these.

Celebration Local Warman Fire Department volunteer Bob Fenner was awarded with the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal for 25 years of service. Bob has been protecting the people of Saskatchewan for many years and was presented with the award by Her Honour the Honourable Vaughn Solomon Schofield, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan.

Congratulations Bob on your years of service!

Kids in the Garden On behalf of the City of Warman, I would like congratulate to the Kids in the Garden program coordinators, volunteers and participants for winning this year’s Scott’s Miracle Gro Youth Gardening Award. This award is presented each year at the Communities in Bloom National Symposium and this year our local gardening program was chosen. I am so proud of these dedicated volunteers for all of the hard work they have done to make this program happen. Thank you Cindy and Brianna GillespieRamsfield, Brandy Bayda, and Kody Davis – Kids in the Garden is such a fantastic program for our community.

Warman Wolverines The Warman Wolverines won the 3A High School Football Championship in Melfort in November.

Congratulations to all the athletes, parents, coaches and all who have been involved in supporting these local athletes.

I also want to thank all the residents of the community who took the time to pay their respects, over 600 were in attendance!

Saskatchewan Wildfire’s of 2015 Event A celebration was held at the Provincial Legislature in Regina this month. Premier Wall was in attendance to thank all of the communities who provided assistance and battled the northern wildfires this summer. Fire Chief Thompson, Deputy Fire Chief Austin and I were all present to represent Warman. It was a great event and an honour to be thanked for the dedication of our brave members of the Warman Fire Department.

Warman City Council and the Recreation and Community Services Department would like to thank Elizabeth Kreiter for her service as Head Librarian to the Warman Library. The Department is very excited about bringing a new candidate to the position that will continue the great work Ms. Kreiter had started.

The Warman Community Library is offering Saturday afternoon movies in the WCMS Theatre. All the movies will be Disney Children Classics. Entrance to the movies will be through the Library, not the main theatre doors as it is a library activity.

2015 Outstanding Young Professional Award Congratulations to the City of Warman’s Economic Development Officer Josh Welz who was awarded for the Outstanding Young Professional Award. This award recognizes a SEDA member who has recently entered the profession and has demonstrated leadership skills as well as a commitment to professional development. Josh has continued to showcase his leadership and perspective since joining the City of Warman team in 2014 and we are very excited to see him recognized for his hard work!

award couldn’t have gone to someone more deserving!

In other news, I want to address the phlebotomy services issue that has been as topic of discussion for many of our residents. I want to begin by stating that the City of Warman is committed to working with all stakeholders including Gama Medical Clinic, Saskatoon Health Region and the provincial government to ensure that the residents of Warman continue to have access to key medical services. The recent announcement of the removal of the phlebotomy services in Warman has created a significant void in the community. The phlebotomy services previously provided by the Gama Medical Clinic were invaluable for many of our residents.

As one of the fastest growing cities in Saskatchewan, the demand for key medical services in Warman continues to increase. For a community of 10,000 people it is concerning that we no longer have phlebotomy services available. We recognize the difficult situation that the Gama Clinic is in and are committed to continuing to work with all stakeholders including Gama Clinic, the Saskatoon Health Region and the Provincial Government to resolve this issue.

Respectfully submitted, Sheryl Spence Mayor Recreation and Community Services Committee Report : Warman City Council and City Staff are very proud of Recreation and Community Services Manager, Paul McGonigal for being recognized as the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association’s, Award of Merit recipient for 2015. Mr. McGonigal was recognized for his contributions to the field of recreation throughout the Province of Saskatchewan at the SPRA Conference Award Gala on October 23rd in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

Congratulations Paul, this

Planning and Development Committee Report: Warman continues to meet the vision as set out in our Official Community Plan (OCP) and our goals set out from our 2015 Strategic Priorities. Currently, the Planning Committee is updating the Zoning Bylaw and creating a Street Naming Policy and Committee. This new committee will incorporate a resident member at large to sit on the committee. If you are interested in this opportunity please contact Brad Toth at Warman City Hall for the application form.

Year to date building permits: (January 1 November 17) We are poised to close out the 2015 construction year with solid investment numbers. Recent tabulations show Warman growth above $93 Million investment this fiscal year with 466 issued building permits. While this is number is down from our historic record setting pace of the past few years, it remains a compliment to Warman's resiliency and influence within Saskatchewan and outpaces economic investments relative to surrounding communities.

Respectfully Submitted, Richard Beck Planning & Economic Development Chair

From all of us on Warman City Council

Wrestling at Warman High School is Back!!!

Coming off our most successful year to date, the Warman Wolverine Wrestling team has a good chance of improving yet again.

In 2014-15 the Wolverines sent 6 wrestlers to provincials and captured the 3A Provincial Championship. Gone are a couple veterans, most notably Micah Heide who is wrestling with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies this year. In their presence is a great group of Grade 9’s who started with the program back in Grade 6 and will help the wrestling team in trying to repeat as Provincial Champions. If you would like to be a part of this team please contact Mr. Reis at jesse.reis@spiritsd.ca Practices Start on Tuesday November 24th, and are every Tuesday at Thursday from 3:15 until 5:00.

Thanks for the memories ladies and I look forward to watching you continue to grow in your future VB careers.

Football

The Wolverine Football team finished their first undefeated season. They also won their first Provincial Championship defeating Melfort 65-23 in the final. After losing to Melfort in the provincial final twice in the last three years it was very nice to finally get a victory.

Our last tournament of the season was at St. Mary’s in Prince Albert where we played many grade 9/10 teams. Although we didn’t place the coaches were very excited with all that the girls had accomplished. During league play we won the majority of our games and ended the season losing out in the second round of playoffs to Dalmeny. The girls made huge strides in developing their skills and sportsmanship throughout the season.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The growing demand for speech and language therapy can mean a long wait for parents concerned about their children’s development.

But while there are long wait lists in Saskatoon, that’s not the case in Delisle.

Licensed Speech Pathologist Katie Schlosser recently contracted with the Delisle Primary Health Centre to provide assessment, treatment and support for children and adults with speech, language, learning or developmental concerns.

The clinic also provides the services of a physician, nurse practitioner, laboratory and ECG, pharmacy, clinical pharmacist, massage therapist, chiropractor, mental health and addictions service, registered dietician and wellness clinic for foot care.

Clinic manager Jennifer Hiebert said there is a real need for speech and language therapy in the region.

“We’ve been looking for a speech and language therapist in this area for a long time,” she said. “The waiting list in the rural area is quite long. over the last few years we’ve been working on getting more services.

“It’s beneficial when these service providers can co-locate within the health centre because it allows communications with our physician and our nurse practitioner,” she continued.

“That’s one of the reasons we developed this health centre, so that everyone can practice under one roof.”

Schlosser, whose private practice is based in Saskatoon, said she has many clients in rural communities across the province. She works with people of all ages, but most of her clients are children.

“The majority of my case load is pre-school and early grades,” said Schlosser.

“I work with children who have speech impediments; children who have trouble learning their speech sounds, or who have motor problems and are unable to make speech sounds.”

She also works with kids who have autism, hearing problems, Down syndrome, developmental delays and stutters. With adults, the problems often originate with some kind of brain injury or stroke. “They have to relearn how to talk,” she said.

Schlosser said new immigrants who are learning English and who have speech impediments are doubly challenged.

Report from the

Legislature

Nancy Heppner MLA MARTENSVILLE CONSTITUENCY

More Choice, More Convenience, More Competitive Pricing

The Government of Saskatchewan has announced a new direction for liquor retailing that includes an expanded private retail system with fewer government liquor stores and more private retailers.

The new expanded private retail model creates a level playing field for liquor retailers. This means all liquor retailers will be treated the same when it comes to: · Purchasing alcohol for resale at a wholesale price; · Hours of operation; · Product selection; · Chilling of beer products and more Changes, which will be made after the next provincial election, include the conversion of 40 government liquor stores to private stores and the option of adding 12 new private liquor stores in underserved communities, including Dalmeny, Osler, Hague and Aberdeen.

In the end, we will have a system that’s fair to retailers and beneficial to consumers while also protecting revenues for government priorities like infrastructure, education and health care.

Over 30,000 Children Benefit from Grant for Education Savings

More than 30,000 Saskatchewan children have received more than $8.5 million through the Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings (SAGES) program.

Through SAGES, the Government of Saskatchewan provides a grant of 10% on contributions made since January 1, 2013, into a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) to a maximum $250 per child per year.

To be eligible for SAGES, the following requirements must be met: · the child is a resident of Saskatchewan when the RESP contribution is made; · the child is named as a beneficiary of an eligible RESP; · contributions are made on or before December 31 of the year the child turns 17; and · contributions are made at a participating financial institution.

RESP subscribers at financial institutions not offering SAGES can now move their past RESP contributions to an institution that does offer SAGES. They will then receive the grant retroactively to January 1, 2013.

Government Fulfills Commitment to Invest in Provincial Parks

Provincial parks are a key component to the quality of life we enjoy in Saskatchewan. It’s important to keep investing in our parks, not only to improve the visitor experience today, but also to ensure parks infrastructure remains stable for years to come.

Our government has now fulfilled its commitment to invest an additional $10 million over four years into the provincial park system. The total investment in capital projects and capital maintenance over the past four years is more than $53 million.

Since 2007, the Government of Saskatchewan has invested more than $90 million in capital expenditures in provincial parks across the province. The majority of these projects are already complete and the few in progress will be complete and ready for visitors in the summer of 2016.

Big Jump in Building Permits

Saskatchewan saw a substantial rise in building permits in September 2015, increasing 113.2 per cent over last year, according to Statistics Canada.

This shows that our construction sector continues to do well and demonstrates long term confidence and commitment to growth in our economy.

Non-residential construction was up 365.9 per cent over last year, ranking Saskatchewan first among the provinces in that category.

Elvis ‘56 show recreates magic of rockabilly era

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The cast and crew of Elvis ‘56 navigated an icy highway through an Alberta blizzard and pulled into Langham about 90 minutes before showtime on Thursday, November 19.

After a white-knuckle trip, the real work of unloading all their gear in minus 20 degree weather through a side door started.

Then there were the sound checks, setting up the lights and last-second snafus.

But you’d never have guessed it was anything but a walk in the park for these professionals.

When the show started right on time they didn’t miss a beat, literally.

And what a show it was: the perfect combination of polish and spontaneity.

The brainchild of Terri Futreal, one of the promoters of ElvisFestival.com; the event was 90 per cent concert and 10 per cent live documentary. Aimed at re-creating the atmosphere of Elvis Presley’s early concerts, 24-year-old Cody Ray Slaughter and his all-star band, the Hillbilly Katz, belted out the rockabilly hits that vaulted Elvis to stardom. From the opening number, “Shake, Rattle and Roll” through “Blue Suede Shoes” to “Hound Dog” and everything in between, Slaughter delivered

WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Cody Ray Slaughter (centre) portrays Elvis as he was in 1956 during a concert in Langham on Thursday, November 19 in spades. He was equally at home with the love ballads, and when his touching rendition of the classic boy and his dog song, “Old Shep” concluded, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

The King of Rock had 17 songs on the Billboard Top 100 hit parade in 1956.

Three of those songs: Heartbreak Hotel, Don’t Be Cruel, and Love Me Tender, rose to Number One. It was also the year he made his first mo-

tion picture.

But Elvis at that time was still very much a shy country boy, even in the midst of all the adulation and hype.

He had the moves and the stage presence; but he still had a charming awkwardness when it came to patter between the songs.

Slaughter perfectly captures Elvis’ personality during this period by making a direct connection with the audience. That’s why

the show, which is slated for a world tour, is starting out in small towns. This is how Elvis started, and the stripped-down, raw music of this band is exactly how the original Hillbilly Katz sounded. Slaughter, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Elvis, has been singing the King’s songs on stage since he was 11 years old. His moves are completely natural, and his versions of the familiar songs are

bang-on.

Opening act Steffi Z set the stage with her showstopping good looks and a knockout performance of a string of rockabilly hits from that era. She seamlessly handed things over to Slaughter for the main course. Backed by David Fontana on drums (the son of Elvis’ Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer DJ Fontana) and other session musicians who’ve backed

bands from Dr. Hook to Billy-Joe Royal, the show is an energetic and respectful tribute to one of the greatest musicians of all time. Nearly four decades after his death, Elvis still strikes a timeless chord with fans of all ages.

The Elvis ‘56 tour played Prince Albert, Red Deer and Lethbridge before heading back to the southern US in preparation for the rest of the world tour.
