Saskatoon firefighters extinguish a vehicle fire at salvage business at North Corman Industrial Park on Monday, November 30
Fire in industrial park extinguished quickly By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A fire at a salvage yard in the North Corman Industrial Park was extinguished quickly by Saskatoon firefighters on Monday, November 30. No one was injured in the fire, which broke out around noon at Saskatoon Truck Parts. Warman Fire Rescue, Warman RCMP and Corman Park Police also responded to the incident. Saskatoon Fire Department Battalion Chief David Nahachewsky said the fire apparently started when a
salvage vehicle was being cut apart with a blowtorch. A plume of thick black smoke could be seen for several miles as it was carried by a light westerly wind. Firefighters arrived on scene quickly and were able to extinguish the burning vehicle before the flames were able to spread to a nearby building. Firefighters used a combination of water with foam to suppress the blaze and prevent it from smouldering in flammable materials. “Basically what was burning was tires,” said Nah-
achewsky. “That’s what created the black smoke.” Nahachewsky said the salvage yard lost three pieces of equipment that could have been used for salvage, but added a dollar amount of the damage was not known. “Saskatoon Fire Department has an agreement with the RM of Corman Park to mitigate fires in the North Corman Industrial Park area,” said Nahachewsky. “We also have a different agreement with the RM for fire suppression in different parts of the RM as well.”
Will appointed interim SHR President Saskatoon Regional Health Authority (SRHA) Chair Mike Stensrud today announced Saskatoon Health Region’s President and CEO Dan Florizone is taking a medical leave of absence for the next few months to address personal health issues. “Dan has done, and will continue to do, leading edge work for the people and patients of Saskatoon Health Region and this province. Dan has told me that unfor-
tunately, he must now temporarily step away from his duties to address personal health issues and I ask that everyone respect his privacy during this period.” Stensrud emphasized that, “While the timing is difficult and Dan wanted to continue leading the Region through the current financial challenge, his health issues have reached a point where a short leave is necessary in order to focus solely on his health.”
SRHA has appointed Andrew Will, 3sHealth’s CEO, as Saskatoon Health Region’s interim President and CEO. He will spend about 80 per cent of his time leading Saskatoon Health Region and 20 per cent of his time serving 3sHealth. Will’s 3sHealth management team will take on additional duties during this time period. Will assumes the role of Saskatoon Health Region’s Interim President and CEO effective immediately.

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Dalmeny firefighters braved icy waters the night of November 25 to hone their ice rescue skills. Guided by the mantra, “reach, throw, go,” they took turns suiting up and filling various roles. Headlights and spotlights were trained on a swath of a Dalmeny retention pond as one firefighter cut the ice with a chainsaw. Lieutenant Nikki Hyland said they had hoped to break through the ice with their bodies, but at 8”, it was too thick. “It was all we could do to cut it with a chainsaw,” said fire chief Rick Elder. The mercury had plunged to about minus 20 that night, the coldest of the season so far. Once cut, a section of ice about eight feet by four feet was slid under the surface. If reaching an item or throwing an item toward the victim to reel them in doesn’t work, the third option is to go to the victim. The rapid deployment craft (RDC) is ideal for this purpose and inflates in a couple of minutes. This floatation boat can be used on ice and on water and was purchased with funds raised at the Dalmeny Firefighters Pancake Breakfast last year, according to Hyland. Once the boat is inflated firefighters walk it over to the victim, drop it overtop and then secure passage. If they happen to fall through the ice, the RDC will float. Firefighters recalled training last February, when temperatures were around minus 30 C. The group has taken ice-rescue training through Trans-Care Rescue with instructor Bill McCombs, twice.

ICE RESCUE
The rapid deployment craft keeps firefighters and victims safe on ice or water. Dalmeny Fire & Rescue purchased it from funds generated by the Pancake Breakfast last year. To retain certification, they need skill maintenance opportunities such as this. Elder said early winter and late spring are the best times, since in the dead of winter, they typically can’t get into the ice. Firefighters have special suits for ice rescue. “Those suits are very buoyant and they’re very
warm,” said Elder. Firefighter Darlene Klassen was wearing a suit while floating in the frigid water waiting to be rescued. “She’s probably sweating,” he added. Firefighters also performed selfrescue techniques. They grabbed ice picks that were safely secured in their suits, and picked their way
out of the water, rolling onto the ice as they emerged, to distribute their weight. Elder recommends watching the video “Survival in the Ice” by Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht, professor of B.P.E. at the University of Manitoba. Education that could be key to survival is provided. “What he’s

advocating is to freeze yourself onto the edge of the ice,” said Elder, as a desperate measure. After the exercise, the plan was to replace the slab of ice that was slid under the surface so it can freeze back into place, and put barriers and a snow fence around the opening.
Police name suspect in Karina Wolfe murder
By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca It’s been a long five years for the family of Karina Wolfe. But on November 30 it appeared justice may finally be served in her disappearance and murder.
A suspect in the murder of Karina Wolfe turned himself in to police on the evening of November 10. “Jerry Constant voluntarily walked into the service centre of the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS),” said acting staff sergeant
Tyson Lavalee at an SPS news conference on Monday, November 30. Lavalee said Constant told police the story of what happened and the possible location of Karina’s body. The next day Constant was
released from police custody and placed in the care of the Dube Centre for assessment, where he remained until his arrest. Investigators launched a search in the RM of Corman Park in the vicinity of Township Toad 372 and
the Airport Authority Boundary, combing an area the size of a football field. Since the search was outside the SPS jurisdiction, investigators called upon forensic CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Corman Park says Saskatoon land purchase made in bad faith By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The purchase of about 155 acres of land in the RM of Corman Park by the City of Saskatoon’s land bank was made “in bad faith” and will result in serious financial losses to the RM, according to Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood. “I’m very unhappy with what the city has done,” said Harwood in an interview on Wednesday, November 25. “This is prime industrial land that was much-sought by private developers who would have developed it right away, and that could have resulted in considerable revenue for the RM because of the potential increase in the value of the assessment on the land. “But the city apparent-
ly has no plans to develop it anytime soon, and will be sitting on it. Meanwhile the RM will not be getting any revenue from it because one municipality cannot tax another municipality’s land holdings within its boundaries.” The land in question was purchased by the City of Saskatoon’s land bank on August 17, 2015. The 155.8 acre parcel is currently zoned agricultural, but is located immediately adjacent to the East Cory Light Industrial Park and immediately north of Ritchie Brothers Auction alongside Highway 12 at Saskatoon’s north end. Its proximity to existing industrial land would likely have made a zoning change by council routine if a developer ap-
plied for such a change. Harwood said the city’s land bank “out-bid” private developers for the parcel of land, paying $26,000 per acre. The total price tag paid by the city amounted to about $4.2 million, she said. The city had earlier annexed 800 acres from Corman Park in the same general vicinity, paying the RM $15,000 per acre for the parcel of land located between Highways 12 and 16. “So it appears the city has over-inflated the price of the land, purchased with taxpayers’ dollars, for its land bank to sit on,” said Harwood. “The city is competing directly against private developers.” Harwood said the RM has “lost a substantial amount
of revenue” because of the loss of potential commercial assessment that would otherwise have been developed. She noted the RM’s “future growth” area includes the East Cory Light Industrial Park and the corridor along Highway 12 north to Martensville. By purchasing a significant parcel of land in the RM’s strategic growth area, the city has undercut Corman Park’s plans, said the Reeve. The toughest pill to swallow, though, added Harwood, is that the RM did not learn of the city’s purchase until the sale was finalized. The land is located within the Corman Park-Saskatoon Planning District. The city’s intention to purchase the land should have been revealed to the RM ad-
Corman Park takes first step in legal action By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Rural Municipality of Corman Park may pursue legal action against the City of Saskatoon over a land deal that could cost the RM hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue. Corman Park council unanimously voted at a special council meeting on Monday, November 30 to direct its legal counsel “to obtain a legal opinion regarding the potential” for the RM to “take legal action against the City of Saskatoon related to the purchase of lands by the City within the RM.” The motion specified the legal land description of the property, which is located north of Saskatoon adjacent to the East Cory Industrial Park and alongside Highway 12. Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood told the meeting that since 1956, when the first district planning commission was established, Saskatoon and its surrounding rural municipalities have worked together on land use planning. In recent years, regional planning has expanded to encompass other municipalities including Warman, Martensville and Osler. “This partnership is all about cooperation and trust,” said Harwood. She said Corman Park understands that in order for urban municipalities to grow, they need to take land from Corman Park. But, she added, the RM also needs to grow and develop its residential, commercial and industrial base in order to pay for necessary infrastructure and services. “We do not want to impede potential growth,” said Harwood. “But we want to ensure growth benefits all the partners. Why can’t regional development be a win-win situation?” She said Saskatoon has exhibited a “sense of entitlement” by treating Corman Park as its land bank for future growth. She said this is unfair, because it pits private developers in Corman Park against the city’s Land Bank development agency. The 155-acre parcel of unserviced land, which is in Corman Park’s future
Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood addresses the special meeting of Corman Park council on Monday, November 30 growth plan, was purchased by Saskatoon for $4.2 million last August without informing Corman Park administration and council. Saskatoon has indicated it will not be developing the land anytime soon. This means the RM will not be receiving any tax revenue from the property. Harwood said the purchase was unnecessary because the city had recently annexed 800 acres in the same general vicinity. She also pointed out the city’s land bank mandate is to develop serviced land for residential, commercial and industrial purposes within the city’s boundaries. Division 6 Councilor Bas Froese-Kooijenga said the lack of transparency on the land purchase shows a lack of good judgment on the part of elected officials in Saskatoon. He said the regional partnership should be based on cooperation, trust and equality. This move, he said, has destroyed a lot of the trust. “It’s not cool for them to come into our house and pee on our rug,” said FroeseKooijenga. “I hope that we can get this regional plan back on track.” Division 1 councilor John
Germs said while he is “hesitant” about spending taxpayers’ dollars on legal action, he believes it’s a nec-
essary move. Noting that while he was a member of the P4G committee, he felt the City of Saskatoon appeared to have a major influence in the committee’s direction and decisions. “I got off that P4G committee because I didn’t like the way things were going,” said Germs, noting the city appeared to have a virtual veto over development in the RM. “I’m really frustrated,” said Germs. “This whole P4G process; I see that as a bigger land bank for the urbans to grow. There are tensions there.” The motion to pursue possible legal action was put forward by Corman Park Division 3 councilor David Fox, who noted the action by the city “flies in the face of regional cooperation, and unfortunately, I think this will create a chill in the relationship between Corman Park and the city for some time moving forward.” Fox said he believes it is important to investigate a change in provincial legislation “to prevent this kind of predatory action by the city from happening again.”

ministration and council well in advance, she said. “We’re very frustrated,” she said. “We sit at the table with the City of Saskatoon and other urban municipalities at Partnership for Growth (P4G) meetings in good faith, and we agree to share information and work together for our mutual benefit. “We all agree to respect
each other’s plans and abide by each other’s rules. But when something like this happens, you wonder if the City of Saskatoon is really coming to the table in good faith.” Harwood said there is a need for provincial legislation, similar to Alberta’s, that regulates the purchase of land by one municipality in another municipality.

Ernst & Young Report Confirms Regina Bypass P3 Saves $380 Million
The Saskatchewan Government released the value for money report for the publicly-owned Regina Bypass project, which was prepared by Ernst & Young. The independent procurement and financial experts confirm the P3 model will save taxpayers $380 million, a little more than 16 per cent, compared to a traditional model. These savings include P3-related costs, such as private financing. A total investment of $1.88 billion – in today’s dollars – is being made in the highway including the cost of design, construction, finance, and more than 30 years of operations and maintenance to ensure the roadway remains in like-new condition. Ernst & Young has confirmed that the same project would have cost $2.2 billion if it was delivered through a traditional build approach. The Ernst & Young report confirms what our government has said many times – that a P3 was the right decision for this important project. In addition to the savings identified by Ernst & Young, a P3 is the fastest way to build the Bypass and will ensure it is done on-time and on-budget. For more information, go to www.saskatchewan.ca/reginabypass.
Province Establishes Refugee Settlement Centre
The Saskatchewan government will establish a Refugee Settlement Centre to co-ordinate the arrival of Syrian refugees into the province. It is important to ensure that refugees who come to Saskatchewan make a successful transition to life in Canada. This Refugee Settlement Centre will bring together the appropriate government ministries to work with municipalities, settlement groups and other community-based organizations to ensure the best possible outcomes for these new Saskatchewan residents. A Refugee Settlement Committee of cabinet has been created and will be chaired by Immigration Minister Jeremy Harrison. Other members include Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter, Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer, Education Minister Don Morgan, Health Minister Dustin Duncan and Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell.
More U of S Medical Grads Calling Saskatchewan Home
It is encouraging to see that thirty new University of Saskatchewan (U of S) family medicine graduates are choosing to stay and practise in Saskatchewan. This adds to a growing physician workforce, delivering health care services to people of the province. Overall, the retention rate of family medicine grads trained at the U of S has jumped by 17 per cent over the past two years – from 58 per cent to 75 per cent. These new physicians join a provincial physician workforce that has grown by more than 500 since 2007.
Thousands Benefit from Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship
More than 16,000 students have received the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship (SAS) this year, totalling nearly $8 million from the Government of Saskatchewan. By providing all Grade 12 grads $500 per year, to a lifetime maximum of $2,000, the SAS reduces tuition for students entering post-secondary programs in Saskatchewan. Since 2008, the Government of Saskatchewan has invested $6.5 billion in post-secondary institutions and students. This includes the Graduate Retention Program which provides up to $20,000 in tuition rebates for graduates who live in Saskatchewan.

TransGas seeks feedback on pipeline routes By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Residents of South Corman Park and area provided feedback on a proposed route for a new gas pipeline at a TransGas Open House on Nov. 24. Due to growth around the province, including Saskatoon and area, TransGas – the transmission pipeline subsidiary of SaskEnergy –has identified a bigger demand for natural gas. “We need to push more gas into the area,” said Casey MacLeod, senior communications officer for SaskEnergy/TransGas. “This additional pipeline is needed to supply the east side of the city as well as into the city. We’re trying to be proactive and get the pipeline in place before its needed.” Representatives of TransGas and SaskEnergy were available at the South Corman Park Log Cabin from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. to provide information, answer questions and garner feedback about the route. Specialists from the departments of land, environment and engineering offered their expertise about TransGas processes. The proposed pipeline project has been in the planning for a couple of years. The route would connect to an existing TransGas pipeline near Vanscoy and extend to Patience Lake where it would tie in to another TransGas pipeline. Costs for the 50 to 60-kilometre capital project are expected to fall between $40 and $45 million. The pipeline crosses the South Saskatchewan River, which involves drilling under the river. “There’s no disturbance to the bed of the river, the water, or the fish so it significantly reduces environmental impact,” said Daniel Dietrich senior environmental adviser for TransGas. The remainder of the pipe-

Planning maps allow for a corridor of 500 metres wide, but Dietrich said they only need about 30 metres, so they have some flexibility of placement within that scope. Once the pipe is buried, the land will be reseeded and, in collaboration with landowners, reclaimed to a previous or appropriate use. Follow-up programs will ensure safe and reliable operation of the pipeline, he said. The Dundurn military base is one of the options being considered for a segment of Phase 2 of the pipeline corridor. That segment would follow the north boundary of the base. “We’re in discussions with the Department of National Defense as to that option,” said Dietrich. Locating the corridor inside the base is preferred since it would impact fewer landowners. Input from an October

anthropologist Dr. Ernie Walker, the RCMP cold case major crime unit, and the Corman park police service to assist them. Human remains were found on November 14, and on November 26, DNA analysis confirmed those remains belonged to Karina Wolfe. Wolfe was 20 years old at the time of her disappearance. Jerry Franklin Constant, aged 33, was charged with second-degree murder and offering an indignity to human remains. Police said there doesn’t appear to be a prior relationship between Karina and the accused.
open house in Vanscoy has been factored into the route for Phase 1. In the previous year, TransGas engaged stakeholders in Clavet, Vanscoy, and Saskatoon as well. “We’ve also been meeting with local First Nations representatives,” said Dietrich. “Stakeholder feedback is very critical to the project’s success, route and timing. We take all that feedback and try to come up with a route that is as satisfactory as it can be.” In addition to public feedback, TransGas goes through a provincial regulation process with the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of the Economy, both of whom look at the environmental impact of the project. “We look at things like wildlife, wetlands, soils, invasive species (weeds), and agricultural. Next we take all that data, analyze it and look at
where we are going to have environmental impacts, what are those impacts, and how can we mitigate them,” said Dietrich. MacLeod said nothing is set in stone at this point. Once stakeholder engagement feedback is analyzed, the pipeline route will be finalized and TransGas will begin to engage directly with landowners along the route, have the necessary conversations and secure the land. At the end of the day, MacLeod said the open house was well attended. “We were able to discuss the project with home/landowners as well as representatives from the Saskatoon Tribal Council, the Dundurn Military Reserve, University of Saskatchewan, Beaver Creek and local RM councillors. Construction on Phase 1 will likely begin sometime in 2017.
As the SPS news conference progressed, Constant was slated to make a court appearance via video. Police declined to comment on whether they were currently pursuing charges in other cases against Constant, saying only that he was known to the police. Carol Wolfe spoke through an interpreter in memory and in honour of her daughter at the news conference. “Karina was a very beautiful young woman, a talented artist, painter and journalist,” said Carol. “She was stolen from our family.” Karina was last seen on July 2, 2010, and was said to have lived a high-risk lifestyle. Carol always believed Karina would come home again. “The last memory I have is Karina saying, ‘I love you Mom and I will be home later.’ Karina never got to come home.

Merry minimalism! By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca
COMMENTARY
Versions of minimalism are proliferating across North America. From minimalist wardrobes to tiny homes (yes, they’ve come to Saskatoon), people are embracing a simpler lifestyle. Last year, The Minimalists, two guys who left six figure incomes and chose to trim excess from their lives, toured Canada with their message of minimalism, including a stop in Saskatoon. Minimalism is not just about living with less, they say. It involves making room for more – more experience, more passion, more freedom. Of course this may involve getting rid of stuff. Whether it hides in forgotten zones or takes up space in plain view, stuff demands time and attention. Less stuff means more freedom. Scientists have found that physical clutter negatively affects our brain’s ability to focus and process information. Less stuff means better focus. But we tend to maximize on stuff at this time of year. The near mass hysteria about Black Friday, now a Canadian phenomenon, reveals that consumerism is thriving. A weekend study polled shoppers leaving an Ikea store and every one of them left with more than they intended to buy. At Christmas, it’s easy to justify excess, or to simply end up there by default. Who really keeps a running total on their credit card? While we used to talk about shopping addiction, now we hear discussion about ‘retail therapy.’ But there are some things shopping cannot do, and even those who acknowledge the benefits of retail therapy, speak of moderation and underlying issues. On Black Friday, ‘Becoming Minimalist’ said, “If you are not content today, there is nothing you can buy this weekend to change that.” Statistics Canada reported in September that the household debt ratio in Canada rose to a record high. Simple economics makes minimalism attractive. There is beauty in allocating resources into life experiences instead of things. Last year around this time, I heard about a woman who designed an ingenious coat that converts into a sleeping bag for homeless people in Detroit. When a homeless person yelled at her, saying what they needed was jobs, not coats, she began employing homeless people to make the coats. This is a woman who herself had existed on the edges of society having grown up as the kid of addicts. It was a destiny programmed for failure and a hole she and her siblings had to crawl out of. Homelessness represents a forced minimalism that is essentially deprivation. But it helps us consider how much excess is present in our own lives. Imagine a life with less stuff, less stress, less clutter and less debt. Minimalism invites us to take a breath, be more present, less panicked, and live more intentionally. Buy less. Buy from a local artisan. Make room for ‘more.’ Merry minimalism!

Getting used to the new order
So this is the way it’s going to be, eh? After a decade of Stephen Harper Conservative government; one that was whole-heartedly endorsed by Saskatchewan federal voters who sent 12 to 13 of its 14 MPs to the government side; we clearly won’t have the same influence. How could we? Our only government voice will be Ralph Goodale, whose plate will be full with public safety issues that include Syrian refugees. That’s just one MP and one federal minister from Saskatchewan. And contrast the difference between having a Gerry Ritz from the BattlefordsLloydminster compared with PEI Minister Lawrence MacAuley who now fills the roll for the Liberal government. Isn’t that, in itself, a problem? Well, it could be; especially in both deal with local issues and largely more philosophical ones. MacAuley may still struggle with why most Western farmers; or at least, farmers producing the majority of the Western wheat and barley; did not want their product sold by a single-desk seller.

Provincial Politics
That said, this is an issue that’s been dealt with. And if the first job of a minister is to establish relationships with counterparts and stakeholders, credit MacAuley for attending the Western Canadian Agribition in Regina last week and quickly developing a rapport with Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart. Moreover, it would seem doubtful MacAuley and the new Liberal government will have any more or less success getting the railways to move Western grain over oil than Ritz and the previous Conservative government did. And factoring into this equation is the reality that that Stephen Harper government was so top-down-driven that individual Conservative MPs or ministers had very little impact on policy or addressing specific issues. It could be quite possible that things will be equally bad under Trudeau’s Liberals. But let us not under-

estimate how frustrated and resentful the public and stakeholders became with the Prime Minister Office’s under Harper. However, rural Saskatchewan people and Westerners in general had far less reason to be frustrated with the Harper government because the Harper government was simply more in tune with rural and Westerner values. It is precisely why Westerners voted Conservative. It is here where the rubber hits the road. So how will we fare under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s direction when it comes to big policy positions? Well, so far, the results appear to be a bit mixed. Prior to attending the country’s First Ministers conference in seven years, Premier Brad Wall made it known he wanted suspension of the Liberal promise to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by New Year’s. After the Paris bombings (which had nothing to do with refugees) this was a popular position throughout the country. There was common sense in Wall’s argument that numbers and deadlines should not take
precedence over proper screening of refugees. But did Wall or anyone offer any proof that terrorists posing as refugees in camps (presuming there are any) won’t be properly screened? Whatever the case, credit Trudeau, Goodale and the Liberals for heeding such concerns. The deadline was pushed back to February. However, Trudeau does seem a little tone deaf so far when it comes to Wall’s other concern: the economic costs to the oil sector if the country gets any more aggressive with the green agenda than it already is. Wall noted some 30,000 direct energy sector jobs have already been lost (although that has much to do with oil hovering around $40 US a barrel). That said, Wall did seem to be the lone voice talking about the economic impact of environmental changes. Actually, the bigger problem might not necessarily be Trudeau, but the bigger shift that now sees an Alberta NDP government capping emissions of the oilsands, phasing out coal and adding gas taxes. At least for a while, this appears how things are going to go.
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.

Catholic schools in Martensville, Warman on schedule: Chatlain
Community asked for input on details By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Construction work on Holy Trinity School in Warman and Holy Mary School in Martensville is on schedule, and the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division is currently finalizing details on the schools’ design and programming options. Greg Chatlain, Director of Education for Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools (GSCS), says input from residents of both communities will help the school division firm up plans for both new elementary schools in a number of areas, including the possibility of offering French Immersion programs. Two public meetings were scheduled for this week to provide project updates and discuss the registration process for the schools, according to Chatlain. The first meeting took place. on Tuesday, December 1 at Martensville’s Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish. The second public meeting was on Wednesday, December 2 at the Brian King Centre in Warman. The format and content for both meetings is identical, said Chatlain, noting the public was welcome to attend either meeting. “We’re just refining the final details around construction, such as where the walls will go and what the classrooms, library, offices and gymnasium will look like,” said Chatlain in an interview on Friday, November 27. “Construction has begun on each of the sites, including all the prep work.
Piles have been put in the ground and the foundation work is underway now, so both schools are moving forward on schedule.” Both schools are being built under the P3 model in conjunction with Prairie Spirit School Division public elementary schools. There will be a 90-space childcare centre in each of the new schools, and Chatlain said the meetings will acquaint parents with information on those facilities as well. Chatlain said GSCS is looking for feedback from both communities on the possibility of holding limited classes next school year (2016-17) in an alternate location in each city. The school division is also exploring the potential for one or more French immersion programs in Warman and Martensville, similar to what is offered in Saskatoon schools. “We will provide some background information and answer questions,” said Chatlain. “Following that, we will discuss the process to establish a French immersion program. Our Board of Education has committed to making a decision well in advance of the opening of the schools so that families can plan ahead. “For the board to make a good decision, input from families is needed. This discussion will likely be the first of many.” Chatlain said the school division is considering French immersion programs because of the relatively high level of interest expressed by parents in the communities so far.
BREAKFAST with SANTA!
He noted there is no specific threshold of student numbers, because the program can be flexible. “The key point is to have a sustainable program,” said Chatlain. “If, for example, there are enough students in Kindergarten to Grade 3 to justify such a program, we could implement it for those grades, and then look at increasing the grade level every year as the students move through the system. “If there’s enough interest for a program from Kindergarten to Grade 8, then we could design a program for that as well.” He said another option is to have one program to serve both communities. “We have some flexibility,” said Chatlain. “Currently, we have kids from Warman and Martensville coming into Saskatoon for the French immersion program at schools in Saskatoon.” He noted the school division is also looking to establish school community councils well in advance of the new schools’ opening. “We’re hoping to have the basis for these parent groups in place by next Easter,” he said. Chatlain said setting up new schools in the two communities is a learning experience, but noted that the school division operates 37 elementary schools and seven high schools in Saskatoon, Viscount, Humboldt and Biggar. Additional information is available online at www. gscs.sk.ca , which has links to each individual school website.

Josh Pillar of the Saskatchewan Valley Vipers Bantam AA team scores the second of his two goals in a game against the Saskatoon Stallions at the Legends Centre in Warman on Friday, November 27. The Vipers lost the game by a score of 6-3, but it was a lot closer than the final score indicated. The Vipers’ next home game is Saturday, December 19 in Martensville.
Changes coming for midget, bantam, pee wee AA hockey By MACKENZIE HEINTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca Saskatchewan Hockey Association (SHA) general manager Kelly McClintock was in Warman recently to clarify some of the proposed changes to AA hockey provincially, which may affect the Saskatchewan Valley area. The AA committee developed some recommendations which were discussed at SHA fall zone meetings that were just recently completed. The feedback from those meetings was also reviewed by the SHA board of directors. A final draft of the recommendations will be
developed for the Winter SHA zone meetings and the AA committee will get feedback and it again will be reviewed by the SHA board of directors. After the board of directors reviews the draft recommendations, it will then be proposed at the SHA annual general meeting in the spring. One of the recommendations regarding the Sask Valley area is adding another AA bantam team, since the player numbers are high. In the most recent registration numbers, there are a total of 280 youth in bantam hockey in the Sask Valley area.
McClintock noted that it should be no problem as there are 284 youth in the bantam program in Regina and they have three teams. What McClintock brought up was, if this area did have two teams how would the teams be registered. Would there be a team out of Martensville and a team out of Warman? If the SHA eventually does decide to expand a team, McClintock said it was important that the respective association makes sure that the right coaches are in place to develop players, and that goes for all levels of hockey as well. Also a main concern is
that if they do add a team, they don’t want to see a Melville and Meadow Lake situation where the AA committee is looking at eliminating the respective peewee teams, as stated in their recommendations. Also they’re looking at eliminating Melville’s bantam and midget AA teams as well. One of the main reasons for that is low registration numbers, but McClintock also added that competiveness is also another reason for those teams being in jeopardy. He also mentioned that Melville isn’t doing anything to grow their program so that the

players can develop. Those teams right now are not competing at a high level and they are losing games by a great margin. Another recommendation that the AA committee proposed that may impact the Sask Valley area is they are looking to open the geographical boundaries of Prince Albert for the peewee, bantam and midget AA teams. McClintock doesn’t think it should have that much of an impact on the Sask Valley area, but he also believes that they won’t open up those boundaries. Moose Jaw is another area that is being considered to
be opened up as well. What he does think will happen is that those who do have to travel far may have to make concession applications to play in a certain centre. For example, he said there were players from LaRonge driving to Meadow Lake to play AA hockey. It would make more sense for them to drive to Prince Albert. Looking at the structure of AA hockey in the province, McClintock said it’s important to look at the issues every couple of years compared to every 10 years as issues that come up need to be addressed right away.
Our progression system helps youth progress towards their training goals. Each level has been standardized for on-ice content and designed with specific drills to assist participants in their development. Hockey Academy starts the week of January 4th, 2016!

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2015 PG. 12
Osler Museum launches DVD on history of local one-room schoolhouse
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca If its walls could talk, the old one-room schoolhouse in Osler could have some pretty good stories to tell. After 90 years, the old building has seen a lot. Through three separate incarnations as a school, with intervals as a hair salon, a bowling alley, a town hall, a town office, a library, a temporary private residence, a church, a theatre and finally as a museum, the structure has been a gathering place for residents of the area since it was first built in 1925. But after nine decades and three moves to different locations in the town of Osler, the old schoolhouse is showing its age. Mindful that the artifacts it houses, as well as the stories of the building and the people who have passed through its halls could be lost, members of the Osler Historical Museum Committee (OHMC) set out last year to make a permanent record. Earlier this fall, a 40-minute film by CastOne Productions entitled, “Tales of a One Room Schoolhouse: A documentary about Osler, Saskatchewan’s first schoolhouse” was screened to a packed house in the Osler Community Hall. The professional-quality documentary was produced by the OHMC with help from videographer and Osler resident Richard Zarowny. The idea was to produce a “living history” of the building, the people, and the culture of the community. It was a collective effort that involved many hours of labour by a lot of people, said OHMC secretary-treasurer Nettie Balzer. And the overwhelmingly positive reaction of people to the film has been very rewarding. The idea for making a film grew out of a conversation Balzer had with her daughter one day. “I was commenting that the old building was in need of repairs which would cost a great deal of money, and I lamented about this to my daughter,” said Balzer in an interview. “She said, ‘Mom, why don’t you have someone make a virtual walk-through on video?’ My concept of that was pretty simple, just walking through with a video camera and explaining the exhibits. “But it became so much more as we got into it. We had to dig up the history and do research on the town and this building.” The turning point came when they enlisted the help of Richard Zarowny, a professional videographer who happens to live right next door to the museum grounds. Zarowny dived into the project and created just the right mix of narrative, poetry, conversation, still photography, video clips and music to give the film a professional edge. The film captures former students, and even a teacher, reminiscing and joking with each other. It’s cool to see what the grey-haired former students looked like when they were young as their class pictures are juxtaposed beside them as they talk in the film. The history of the building itself and its various incarnations is told through the use of still photos, sound effects and subtle music. The school building replaced an older structure that had been in use from 1905. From 1925 until 1946 it served as the main school. With an air force training field located just east of Osler,
The Osler Historical Museum Committee includes (left to right) Hella Banman, Nettie Balzer, Susan Braun, Bob Peters and Jake Reimer. The Osler One Room Schoolhouse (below left) was restored to look like it did in the 1940s and holds a wealth of artifacts used by students and teachers over the years World War II was front and centre for the students during the early 1940s. When a larger two-room school was built to meet the growing student population, the one-room school was moved to First Avenue, where it went through a number of uses before being called back into service as a school for the younger grades in the late 1950s. It ceased to be a classroom when the RJ Davidson High School (now Osler Elementary School) was built in 1961.
Balzer said the video is intended as a legacy for future generations, in much the same way the community’s museum has preserved the community’s culture for the past 35 years. The “Tales of a One Room Schoolhouse” DVD is available for purchase at a cost of $10 through the Town of Osler (info@townofosler.com) or through the Osler Museum Committee (njbalzer@sasktel.net). Osler History Books are also available at the town office for $15.

Winter road weights delayed
Winter Weight allowances will be delayed to December 15 as temperatures continue to be warmer than usual. During this time, provincial highways are continuously monitored and winter weights will be allowed as soon as highways can handle the weight without risk of undue road damage. While the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is conscious of the cost savings for allowing heavier weights on the secondary highway network, it is equally important to ensure that roadbeds are sufficiently frozen to support the additional weight and to avoid potential damage.

Froese-Kooijenga’s original music shows her versatility, talent By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Ellen Froese-Kooijenga is a big part of the roots band, “In With the Old” that has made a well-deserved name for itself across Saskatchewan over the past couple of years. From appearances on Telemiracle to headlining the Ness Creek Festival, the band’s fresh acoustic sound is a modern echo of a folk-country tradition that stretches back to the 1920s. But there’s more to Ellen than In With the Old. With the release this week of her new self-titled and self-produced CD, she Ellen Froese-Kooijenga’s shows another new self-titled CD side of her wideis being released on ranging talent. Friday, December 4 The eight-song at the Underground collection offers a Cafe in Saskatoon great blending of her superb songwriting skills, versatile musicianship and unforgettably sweet voice. The songs cover a lot of ground, from the touching melancholy of “The Calling of the Grave” to the hard-driving blues of “You don’t know my mind” and twangy bluegrass of “Careless, Reckless Love” (featuring a duet with her dad, Bas) and traditional country of “I drink too much for my baby.” Ellen Froese-Kooijenga is a natural talent; and if you haven’t heard her yet, you’re missing a real treat. She is unveiling her new CD at a concert on Friday, December 4 at the Underground Cafe in Saskatoon. Geoff Smith of Gunner & Smith is the opening act.

WARMAN JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAMS IN LANGHAM FOR FIRST TOURNAMENT OF SEASON
The Junior A girls basketball team coached by Corey Fast and Evan Folden participated in their first tournament of the season in Langham this past weekend. They played Melfort on Friday night and for the first time in seven years, Warman Junior girls defeated Melfort 4338! The next team they came up against was Langham on Saturday afternoon, whom they beat 52-38. Their final game was against Dalmeny and while the game was tight in the first the half, the girls easily walked away with a third and final win SUBMITTED BY Corrie Pomarenski of 66-40. This put the girls undefeated in the tournament and they took home first place. With only two practices and three returning players (Paige Pomarenski, Rebecca Sawatsky and Cara Misskey), the coaches were impressed with how the team played. Coaches Fast and Folden are excited for the upcoming season and what it will hold for this fresh young team. The Junior A boys also competed in the tournament (coached by Guy Farquharson and Daylon Dallyn) and finished in second place. They easily beat Langham and Dalmeny but lost a close game to Melfort the first night. The team relied on pulling a number of B team players up for the tournament as many of the A roster had prior commitments. (Photos submitted by Corrie Pomarenski)
crumpled classics
Tori Fehr as “Madame Pompadour” is watched over anxiously by Emilie Martin as “Giselle” and Mackenzie Krahn as “Marie” during a scene from the “Phantom of the Opera” skit, one of several plays within a play in the Prairie Spirit Theatre Company’s production of “Crumpled Classics”. The play was staged at the Warman Community Middle School Theatre on Friday, November 27 and Saturday, November 28. The theatre company is made up of home-schooled students in the Prairie Spirit School Division, and has staged at least one show every year since 2009. The comedy had some tremendous one-liners and great scenes that allowed the students to show off their acting abilities. TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

People of all ages (above) came away with wonderful memories from the annual Warman Community Carol Festival on Sunday, November 29. (Left) Students from Warman Elementary School perform. The Carol Festival drew a crowd of about 300 people, raising funds for the Warman Food Bank, a project of the Warman Ministerial Association. Last year, the Warman Food Bank provided gift cards for 33 families to purchase food items. The program also provides assistance to families in financial and emotional need throughout the year.
Chad Solomon, a graphic artist, author and puppeteer from northern Ontario, got exactly the reaction he was after from students at Valley Manor School in Martensville on Monday, November 30. Solomon’s “Rabbit and Bear Paws” puppet show, which utilizes custom-made puppets based on his cartoon strip drawings, were used to tell a First Nations story about the origin of the world.

and Rabbit. Solomon picked student volunteers from the audience to perform several parts in his story, with the children taking on the roles of various animals. In addition to giving the kids a taste of First Nations culture, the stories were also aimed at providing moral lessons regarding anti-bullying, friendship and loyalty. Solomon, who has been a professional puppeteer for the past 10 years, is currently on a cross-country tour. His appearance was sponsored by the Wheatland Regional Library. Both the library and the school have copies of his books.

Warman firefighters learn to battle railway oil tanker car blazes
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgzette.ca With more oil tanker cars on Canada’s railways than ever before, the odds of accidental derailments and fires are increasing. The risk may be small, but it’s very real. That’s why firefighters from communities across North America are learning how to tackle these potentially explosive situations. At a specially-designed training ground in the desert near Pueblo, Colorado, firefighters are trained to identify, mitigate and extinguish tanker car fires through realistic simulations. Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin and Warman Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Kevin Schwartz recently completed a weeklong intensive “Crude by Rail Specialist” training program at the Security and Emergency Response Training Centre (SERTC) in Pueblo. The world-renowned training facility features courses taught by the most highly-qualified experts in their fields. “There’s not a high probability that an accident will happen, but if one ever does happen, we’re at least a little more prepared on the tactics side than we were before,” said Austin in a recent interview. CN Rail, which has one of its main transcontinental lines running through the City of Warman, paid the tuition costs for the two Warman Fire Rescue members. The municipality paid for the travel and meals. “We’ve been trying to get a spot in this course for the past three years,” said Aus-
tin. “It’s critical that firefighters on the ground have this kind of knowledge, because they’re the first ones on the scene.” Austin said CN and other railways in North America regularly pay for firefighter training at SERTC, but spots are limited. Firefighters are selected from communities located along the railway lines. “CN bought all 40 seats in this particular course that we were in,” said Austin. “Of all the people applying from communities across North America that CN serves, we were able to get two of those seats.” The week-long course began at 5:30 every morning, with firefighters arriving at the secure training facility in the desert several miles outside Pueblo before 7:00 a.m. Train derailment and fire simulations were made as realistic as possible through the use of underground pipelines that delivered oil and gas mixtures to the site. “That made the actual fires you were fighting 100 per cent real,” said Austin. While fire departments in communities in this region are trained in dangerous goods at an operational level, Austin said the information and experience gained from the course in Colorado elevates the firefighters’ practical knowledge. “It dramatically changes your tactics,” he said. “We can figure out what’s in the cars and what we can do if we have the equipment to mitigate it, but we usually rely on others to do that. What we learned down there, especially on the fire and rail car side is exactly
the type of tactics we should be using, the equipment we need and also CN”s capabilities and their responses.” Both Austin and Schwartz are now qualified to teach other local firefighters what they learned at the Crude by Rail course. Plans are also in the works to have a decommissioned tanker car brought in to the Warman Fire Rescue training grounds north of the city. In addition, CN and CP both have specially-designed trailers simulating tanker car valves and controls that are used for firefighter training. Austin said oil tanker cars are continually being refurbished and upgraded to increase safety on the railways. “There is a new generation of crude oil cars coming on stream to comply with the new standards,” he said. “Many of the older cars in the fleet were built in the 1960s and 1970s. The process for refurbishing and recertifying a rail car that carries dangerous goods is unbelievable. They have a welding machines that goes along and rewelds the entire car, and then an x-ray machine follows that on the same car. It doesn’t get off the site without being thoroughly tested.” The Crude by Rail Specialist course is recognized worldwide. Austin said a Spanish-language course for elite firefighters from Brazil, Colombia, and other Latin American countries was slated to begin immediately after their own course ended. “It’s a great opportunity,” he said. “We’re thankful for CN Rail for giving us two slots in that course.”
