Dalmeny Fire Rescue Lieutenant Tom Moody and Dalmeny Police Chief Ted Mossop on the scene of a two-vehicle collision on the Dalmeny Access Road on Friday, December 11

Two-vehicle collision near Dalmeny results in minor injuries

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca A two-vehicle collision on the Dalmeny access road on Friday, December 11 ended with one vehicle angled across two lanes of the highway and the other vehicle in a field.

At about 12:25 p.m. an SUV traveling west on Township Road 384 proceeded across the Dalmeny Access Highway without stopping, according to Police Chief Ted

Mossop of Dalmeny Police service, whose assessment of the scene was informed by a witness.

Mossop added that the stop sign at that intersection was down. The SUV was from out-of-province.

A north-bound mini-van on the highway struck the red SUV which spun around and came to a stop straddling two lanes of highway with the air bag deployed. The impact sent the mini-van

through the ditch, through a fence and into a field.

Warman RCMP say the 42-year-old male driver of the SUV, who is from Edmonton, was issued a ticket for driving without due care and attention.

MD Ambulance said there were no injuries to either of the two men in the SUV. A 62-year-old woman from Dalmeny in the mini-van was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.

Saskatoon RCMP investigating disappearance of Saskatoon woman Saskatoon RCMP continue to ask the public for their assistance in locating Sheree Fertuck, a 51-year-old female from Saskatoon.

Investigators have continued their efforts to locate Sheree and have been unable to locate her.

It is typical in investigations like this to bring in additional investigators to assist (ie: conducting interviews).

At this point, investigators cannot say if Sheree’s disappearance is suspicious. It is certainly out of character for her to be out of contact with her family.

Report proves P3 schools less costly, government says

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The cost of building 18 new schools in Saskatchewan using the public-private partnership (P3) model will result in substantial savings for the province, according to the provincial government.

SaskBuilds Minister Gordon Wyant and Education Minister Don Morgan made the announcement at a December 14 press conference.

If completed through a traditional approach, the total expenditure for the project would be $735 million, according to accounting firm, KPMG. Using a P3 model, the publicly owned JointUse Schools Project will cost $635 million, a savings of $100 million according to the value for money report prepared by KPMG. “P3s are faster, better and lower cost and this report

by KPMG confirms that taxpayers are getting a better deal by using this innovative approach rather than a traditional method,” said Wyant.

Cost projections include construction, design, finance (including private finance), and over 30 years worth of asset maintenance.

“These new schools will be a welcome addition to the communities of Warman and Martensville,” said Larry Pavloff, Chair of the

Prairie Spirit Board of Education. “The schools will benefit our students and will alleviate our overcrowded elementary schools in those cities.”

Diane Boyko, chair of the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools Board of Education said the public and separate school divisions respect each other’s mandate.

“The partnerships we’ve formed have been excellent. We’ve done some really good work with our partners in Saskatoon with the Saskatoon Public School Board as well as Prairie Spirit in Martensville and in Warman,” she said.

The largest school building project in the history of the province is expected to create 2300 jobs. Construction began in September and the target date for school openings is September 2017. Penalties for construction delays are built into the contract.

Design concepts for the schools included participation from students, parents and teachers in collaboration with architects and designers. Live webcams allow people across the province to see real-time progress on the joint-use sites 24/7.

The Martensville Lake Vista school webcam is already live and the Warman Traditions one will be online soon.

Walter W. Brown High School Principal Michael Neufeld draws a laugh from the crowd as he points to a spot on the gym where a former student broke a tooth on the old floor.

The dedication of the new gym floor on Friday, December 11 recognized representatives of financial supporters of the

project, including (front row, left to right) Ian Green, Joel Wilde, Taryn Hanley of the WW Brown SRC, Janeen Penner, Lyndon Block, Diane Tracksell, Greg Beaver and Prairie Spirit School Division Board of Education Chair Larry Pavloff. The school also held a Career Fair on December 11.

New gym floor offers solid footing for future

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The old gymnasium floor at Walter W. Brown High School in Langham has seen its share of action since it was first laid down back in 1962.

But, a new generation of students will make their own memories on a brandnew hardwood floor that was put in place in the school earlier this year.

“I’ve kept a piece of the old floor as a reminder of

how little we were running on,” said Walter W. Brown School Principal Michael Neufeld at a dedication ceremony for the new floor on Friday, December 11. “The old floor was only threeeighths of an inch thick.

Our new floor is a full three inches thick.”

Neufeld said another person who saved a piece of the old floor was Jessica Hardcastle, who broke a tooth off while playing in a tournament.

“When the floor was coming out she actually took that piece of floor because she had marked it with a magic marker,” said Neufeld.

Neufeld cited several memorable sports tournaments that were held in the gym and notable teams that went on to win provincial titles.

He said since the new floor was installed, the school has hosted a provincial volleyball tournament and received numerous compli-

ments on the facility.

“We know there are many years to come using this floor, not only the enjoyment and excitement and commitment and dedication that goes into being an athlete but also the spirit that comes from being part of the school and part of the team,” said Neufeld.

West connector route options considered for Saskatoon and area

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Having downgraded from a complete freeway system around the city, the Ministry of Highways is now looking at some options for west connector routes to ease traffic flow.

At a recent public information session, three north routes and three south routes were proposed by the Ministry. North routes options include the Dalmeny Access road, along the proposed Saskatoon Freeway route, or along existing

Beam Road, with a central corridor along Neault Road and Dalmeny Access.

Suggested south route options are along existing 22nd Street, along the 11th Street bypass, or along existing Highway 7, Hodgson Road and Valley Road.

All of the west connector options involve upgrades to existing roads. Communications consultant for the Ministry, Steve Shaheen, said while the west connector is not a freeway it will be a high-speed road.

The City of Saskatoon,

the RM of Corman Park and the Ministry of Highways are partnering together on this initiative. Growth in Saskatoon and the surrounding area has placed increased pressure on traffic networks and calls for new solutions.

Located at Bethlehem Collegiate in Saskatoon, the open house session provided a range of illustrations of the route options, and invited comments from the public.

Have a safe Christmas

COMMENTARY

Christmas trees • Select a dark green, fresh cut tree with a strong evergreen smell. • Make sure the base of the tree is immersed in water at all times – check the reservoir frequently.

• Use only CSA-approved lighting strings – throw damaged light strings away.

• If the tree starts to turn brown – remove it immediately. • Don’t leave the tree up too long – safely dispose of trees right after the holidays.

Space Heaters • Place all space heaters at least one metre (three feet) away from anything that can burn – wallpaper, bedding and clothing. • Turn off/unplug space heaters when you leave the room or go to sleep.

• Don’t leave children/pets unattended with space heaters. • Check electric space heaters for frayed cords or overheating.

• Use only the recommended fuel for liquid fueled heaters. Never use gasoline. Always turn off the heater and let it cool before refueling.

• An un-vented fuel-fired heater can produce deadly amounts of carbon monoxide. Ensure combustion gases are vented outdoors.

Fireplace Safety • Burn small amounts of wood at frequent intervals.

• Don’t burn paper, wrapping paper or pine boughs. This can cause sparks to drift out of your chimney and ignite your roof.

• Have your chimney checked and cleaned by a professional each winter.

• Use a screen in front of the fireplace to keep sparks in. • Never use gasoline or other flammable liquids to light a fire. The vapours will explode. • Dispose of ashes in a metal container, stored outside away from combustibles.

Candles • Never use lit candles to decorate a Christmas tree. • Keep lit candles away from paper decorations and other flammable materials. • Do not leave candles within reach of children or pets. • Put candles in non-tip candleholders and place them on a firm surface where they won’t be knocked over. • Snuff candles out when the festivities are over.

Never let the candles burn down to the bottom.

Supervise Children • Fascination and curiosity about fire can lead a child to play with matches, lighters or flames within easy reach. This holiday season protect your children from fire. • Keep matches and lighters out of sight and reach of children. • Supervise children at all times when they are in a room with a fireplace, a Christmas tree, lit candles, space heater, open flame or hot surfaces.

Test your Smoke Alarms • Test your smoke alarms monthly.

• Never remove the batteries from your smoke alarms for another purpose. • Clean your smoke alarms by vacuuming the cover. • Smoke alarms don’t last forever.

Replace detectors that are more than 10 years old.

Values of rural life can’t be beat

The photo that appeared in the December 3, 2015 issue of the zamboni being pushed off the ice at the Legends Centre was taken by Gary Hardy. The name on the photo credit that appeared in the paper was incorrect. The Gazette sincerely apologizes for the error.

The December 10 issue of the Gazette, held a story called, “RM cruises into year-end decisions.” The story said that “SARM membership now stands at 101 RMs.” That should read “APAS membership now stands at 101 RMs.” SARM membership is 100 per cent for a total of 296 RMs. The Gazette apologizes for the error.

AUDITED CIRCULATION: 17,709 VOL. 8 NO. 15

In a world that seems to have gone mad, it’s nice to know at this time of year that there is still place where that madness may be just a little bit less.

This is not to suggest that rural Saskatchewan and rural Canada are places without their problems.

Rural anywhere still has stresses in families and squabbles between neighbours. This is human nature and; even at Christmas time; not everyone has the ability to forgive and forget.

But in rural settings where being slightly further apart might offer an opportunity to be alone in thought, one would like to hope that people arrive at the peace and wisdom that accompany the season.

Maybe this is just wishful thinking. After all, there remain a lot of intolerant people in rural settings who fall into the collective wisdom of the local bar or coffee row.

There again, it’s probably no small coincidence that Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump; the loudest, most obnoxious and irrational voice, who is now advocating banning all Muslims from the United States;

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

is from New York City.

That Trump has considerable business dealings in Dubai, including several golf courses, makes his latest bluster all that much more rich.

Nor is it really all that surprising that some of those in Canada most eager to open up their door to Syrian refugees live in rural Canada.

In the wake of the brutal and senseless terrorist killings in Paris and the Los Angeles suburb of San Bernardino, CBC Radio’s As it Happens interviewed Bloomfield, Ontario’s Carlyn Moulton .

Her community recently welcomed a Syrian family of 14.

“I think they had been in a rural area in Syria, for many years,” Moulton told the CBC’s Carroll Off. “They’d come from a farming background. They had a small grocery store where they were selling a lot of things that they had grown

themselves. They owned cows. They made their own yogurt. And they really weren’t urban people when they were bombed and displaced.”

That they happened to arrive the day before Halloween when the town “looked a little scary” might have been a bit unsettling for them, but Moulton said the kids were very eager to go to school because they hadn’t attended school in four years.

The kids seem to be fitting in rather well, but so have the adults, Mouton told As it Happens.

“That’s really changing our community in ways that we hadn’t even imagined,” she said. “ “I don’t think we’re exceptional. I think that rural communities depend on one another, and they’re much more adaptable than possibly some people might think.”

Maybe rural people aren’t exceptional.

As suggested earlier, rural communities can have as much strife and disagreement as anywhere else.

But if you are a smaller community where, as Moulton so aptly put it, you rely more on each other than

people in the cities do, maybe there is a deeper appreciation for people as people.

After all, it’s no small coincidence that Doukhobors, Hutterites, Mennonites and many others settled in rural Saskatchewan to escape religious prosecution a century ago.

Some groups like Ukrainians, Germans, Swedes, Poles and French tended to settle together in larger communities. It’s also why Saskatchewan and Alberta entered confederation on the condition of minor “separate” school systems to respect religious freedoms.

But it also wasn’t uncommon to see single men or lone families; hardworking Chinese who faced their own discrimination in Canada; settle as entrepreneurs and become a big part of rural communities.

So the notion of having Syrian refugee families; the kind of people that seem to scare Donald Trump and other city dwellers; welcomed with open arms in small communities is not all that far fetched.

Really, it’s a big part of the way rural life has always been.

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.

OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK

Martensville Fire Rescue members honoured by city council, province

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Martensville Mayor Kent Muench offered a formal ‘thank you’ to the Martensville Fire Department on Tuesday, December 8.

During a city council meeting, Muench presented Martensville Fire Chief Kurtis Dyck with a large framed black and white photo of Martensville Fire Rescue members in action. The photo will be hung at the city’s fire hall.

“This is a small token of our appreciation for all the work that you do and for your involvement in our community,” said Muench.

“The fire department is an integral part of the fabric of Martensville and is involved in so many ways.

“We don’t necessarily think about the fire department until our moment of need, but we want you to know that we are really grateful to have such a strong, dedicated fire department.”

Muench said the firefighters are very involved in community events unrelat-

ed to emergencies, such as the annual Buster Days celebration and the Fire Prevention Week open house each fall.

Muench also pointed to the MFR volunteers who served on the front lines in northern communities last summer helping to battle the unprecedented wave of wildfires.

He noted that the provincial government hosted a ceremony in early November at the Legislative Building in Regina to pay tribute to firefighters from many communities who protected northern communities during the height of the wildfire threat.

Martensville firefighters were among the crews who spent several days in July, 2015, protecting homes and property in the community of Ramsey Bay. The northern village was threatened on all sides by a massive forest fire that surrounded Weyakwin Lake, about 170 kilometers north of Prince Albert. Four MFR members were dispatched to Ramsey Bay on July 7, and

they were relieved by another four volunteers from their department on July 10. The department also had two vehicles, including its main pumper truck and a wildland grassfire truck, involved in the firefighting effort.

The community of Ramsey Bay erected a sign this past fall publicly thanking MFR members for their efforts.

Muench read a letter from Hon. Nancy Heppner, MLA for Martensville constituency and Minister of Highways and Infrastructure, formally thanking the firefighters on behalf of the provincial government.

City of Warman adopts budget, tax increase held to under 3 per cent

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazzette.ca Warman City Council formally adopted its municipal budget for the 2016 fiscal year at its regular meeting on Monday, December 14.

The 2016 fiscal budget was passed prior to the end of the current fiscal year, allowing additional planning and design work to begin well in advance of next year.

At the forefront of the budget is the City’s residential municipal tax increase, which will once again hover around the rate of inflation at 2.69 per cent.

Further, keeping in line with their “Open for Business” mentality, the City will continue to offer one of the most preferential commercial property tax rates

with an average increase of 2.93 per cent.

The education portion of property tax is set by the provincial government and will be revealed early in the new year.

Other highlights of the budget include: over $12 million earmarked for capital projects and over $2 million allocated to reserve funds for future expenses.

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said the focus for the municipality is on providing a high level of service to residents and businesses.

“Our community is growing and thriving and we as the elected Council know how important it is to maintain the high level of service offering our residents have become accustomed to;

an aspect which is incredibly important to them,” said Spence. “This budget is our guiding document for next year and provides a fair, honest and ethical view of how Warman will continue to develop, because we are all very proud to call Warman home.”

Warman Finance Manager Brett Ferguson said the city has earmarked $5.5 million in 2016 for construction of a new reservoir and pumphouse to expand the city’s water and sewer capacity.

“That’s our biggest commitment in the coming year,” said Ferguson. “We are hoping to get some Building Canada Fund grants in the amount of $3.3 million to help with the cost

of the project. We have our application in and we’re hopeful it will be approved.

But the expansion needs to go ahead regardless, which is why the funds have been set aside in the capital budget.”

Another major capital expense in 2016 is the purchase of a ladder truck for the Warman Fire Department. The city has allocated $750,000 for a ladder truck that is about four or five years old. Ferguson said with a new hotel and more buildings in the three and four storey range being built in the city, there is a strong need for a new ladder truck to replace the current one, which is approaching the end of its serviceable life.

The city has set aside $1.7

million for upgrades to Central Street west of First Avenue to Crystal Springs Drive, noted Ferguson.

“We will be lowering and widening the street to make it consistent with the rest of the roadway east of that point, and also add sidewalks to the north side. This will be done next summer.”

Finally, $500,000 has been earmarked for the city’s first set of traffic lights. The city is still finalizing the location for the lights based on the results of its traffic study. An open house on the traffic study is slated for next month.

Off-site development fees will continue to be put into reserve funds in a manner consistent with past years, said Ferguson. “We’re put-

ting money into a capital reserve, a contingency reserve, and an equipment reserve to replace aging equipment such as vehicles, graders and backhoes.”

The fire department budget was also passed as part of the overall municipal budget at the council meeting.

Ferguson said the budget process started in earnest in October with compilation of financial statements and continued through November, so that by December the final figures were ready to be adopted.

He noted every department was asked to find efficiencies, and said there were some budget requests that were postponed to future years.

Sask Valley Vipers to host 2017 Western Canadian bantam championship

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The top Bantam AA hockey teams in western Canada will be coming to Warman and Martensville in the spring of 2017.

The Western Canadian Bantam championship is slated for March 30-April 2, 2017 in Warman and Martensville.

As host team, the Sask Valley Vipers Bantam AA team are guaranteed a berth in the championship tournament, but Vipers head coach Shaun Priel says they’re aiming to earn their spot by winning the provincial title.

“Obviously, we want to make it in the front door as provincial champion,” said Priel in an interview on Monday, December 14.

“That’s our goal. If it works out that way it will be fantastic, but we whatever happens we aim to be very competitive.”

The official announcement that the Vipers would host the prestigious tournament was made by the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League (SBAAHL) on Thursday, December 8. Priel said the successful bid by Warman and Martensville was put together by a committee that began working on the proposal in the spring of 2015.

“They really did a fantastic job,” said Priel. “It was very wellthought-out and well-planned from every angle. The planning, and the quality of the facilities, was what won the bid for the committee.”

The tournament will feature the best teams in the for western provinces, with provincial champion teams from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, along with the host team, competing for the title.

Priel said all the players that make it to this level are “top-end kids” who are loaded with talent.

“In 2008, I coached a Warman team that won the provincial championship and we went on to the western Canadian tournament,” he said. “The rosters

of those teams featured a lot of names of guys that are now playing in the NHL, like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

“This will be a great opportunity for people to see elite-level players.”

Priel said with bantam-age players, the challenge is always to build the best team possible in a defined geographic drawing area.

“With any team, you’re always building around your senior players, who provide the leadership,” said Priel.

“We have three first year kids this year, one defensman and two forwards, and it’s my hope and expectation that they will be back next year, so we’ll start building the team around those guys.”

The Vipers currently sit in third place in the SBAAHL with a record of 10 wins, five losses and two ties for a total of 22 points; one point back of the Humboldt Broncos and two points behind the north-divisionleading Saskatoon Generals.

The team lost its December 12 contest against the Generals by a score of 5-2, but beat the Saskatoon Outlaws 3-1 on December 8 and downed the West Central Wheat Kings 6-3 on December 5.

“We’re still growing as a team,” said Priel. “The league is more competitive this year than in the past, which is good, because we’re striving for consistency all the time.

“The team is still trying to play a full 60 minutes of hockey every game. When we do that, we win; when we don’t, we lose.

That’s still something we have to figure out as a team.”

The VIpers had a busy November, playing 176 games in 29 days.

Priel said the goal this year is to finish in first place in the north division and shoot for a provincial title.

1 in 5 Americans/Canadians Have Chronic Pain

Fitn ess Mind-body methods, such as yoga, meditation, etc..that address chronic pain may ti become more important as ways to help the increasing numbers of pain sufferers to cope with this condition.

Ps

Recent studies appearing in the “Journal of Pain (2014; 15(10), 979-84) reported that 1 in 5 people (19%) suffer from chronic pain.

There is an estimated 39.4 million adults who report persistent pain, 67.2% say their pain is ‘constantly present’, and 50.5% say their pain is sometimes ‘unbearable and excruciating’”. There is an unmet 306-227-3169 need for pain management in the general population, as well as an obvious risk factor for disability, depression and dependency”. Just from chronic pain comes medication dependency, which is 306-382-4226 very unfortunate with individuals who have chronic pain. This needs to STOP! Medication is not the be all and end all, especially when Doctors try to experiment with their patients to figure out Fax. 306-934-0132 what medication they need to be taking. Too much medication and over medicating is not the answer. fitness432@gmail.com Researchers from Washington State University in Spokane studied data from the 2010 Quality of Life Supplement of the National Health Interview Survey. Among certain groups, women aged 60-69, who happen to say their health was fair or poor, and people who were overweight or obese, rates of chronic pain were even higher than 19%.

Awards night wraps up Warman Wolverines’ championship season

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Warman Wolverines put the finishing touches on their first provincial championship season by honouring graduating players and handing out individual awards on Tuesday, December 8.

The Wolverines won the provincial 3A nine-man high school football championship last month with a 65-23 win over the Melfort Comets.

The team’s coaches paid tribute to the Grade 12 players for their leadership role over the past season. The players include: quarterback Dominic Froese, receiver Jayson Lindo, receiver Jaden Towson, running back Damien Delnea, offensive lineman Jesse Ens, defensive lineman Josh Barker, linebacker Brandon

McKimmon, offensive lineman Wayne Wegner, defensive back Jarret Owen and linebacker Joel Seiferling.

Jayson Lindo was named the Special Teams player of the year, based on his kicking, tackling and kick-return accomplishments over the season.

Defensive Lineman Josh Barker was given the Wolverine “Scratch and Claw” trophy for his determined efforts in every game.

Jaden Towson, who went from a marginal role last season to a major contributor this season, was named the Most Improved Player.

Offensive lineman Reese Trohak received the award for Rookie of the Year.

Mike Szydlowski was named the Top Offensive Lineman.

Jesse Ens was presented with the Offensive Player of

the Year award.

Brandon McKimmon was named the Defensive Player of the Year.

Joel Seiferling was presented with the Wolverine Heart award. Despite breaking his toe a few days before the provincial final, Seiferling nonetheless played a standout game on defense in that contest to help his team win the title.

Warman head coach Tyler Scheidt said the championship trophy has a storied history since it was first won back in 1961.

“To see the Warman Wolverines’ name on this trophy is a huge accomplishment,” said Scheidt. “You guys are as good a group as we’ve ever seen in the eight years since the football program started here at the school,” said Scheidt. He gave credit to the Warman

Football Association volunteers for working hard behind the scenes to ensure the student athletes were able to play.

He noted that the first year the football program

Martensville arena expansion committee gets a major boost

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The campaign to build a second indoor ice surface within a multi-purpose recreational facility in Martensville got a big lift on Monday, December 14, thanks to a $9,017.88 contribution from Affinity Credit Union.

“It’s a huge boost,” said Jesse Reis, one of the organizers of the Martensville Community Recreation Project (MCRP). “Every donation counts, and when you get one like this, it makes a big difference.”

With the latest donation, the MCRP’s campaign kitty now holds close to $70,000, according to Reis. That’s still a long way from the roughly $8 million that the proposed multi-purpose facility would cost to build, but the MCRP campaign is steadily building momentum thanks to an ongoing series of fundraising efforts, including its current weekly “moneyball”events.

The MCRP has partnered with the Martensville Minor Soccer Association, as well as the minor hockey teams, to encourage community support for the campaign. Businesses are also coming on board, said Reis.

Affinity Martensville branch manager Tony Korol said the donation came from a combination of employee contributions and annual community support funds.

“Each staff member can donate $200 to the cause of their choice every year under our Community Spirit program, where the credit union makes up contributions on our employees’ behalf. We also have a pool of money that our district council allocates to community groups in their area every year. So this donation is made up of $7,700 from district council and $1,000 from the Community Spirit fund, as well as $250 that our branch raised through our member appreciation supper.”

The MCRP hopes to raise big bucks in the next year or two by having Martensville nominated as Kraft Hockeyville in the annual Hockey Night in Canada campaign. Local writer Todd Devonshire, author of “Rink Burgers” is nominating the community. The top prize is $100,000 toward renovations to the community’s rink.

“Being part of that would really get the community on board,” said Reis.

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

The Martensville branch of Affinity Credit Union donated over $9,000 toward the Nartensville Community Recreation Project (MCRP). Jesse Reis of the MCRP prepares to drop the puck at a ceremonial face-off between MCRP member Joe Garchinski (left) and Affinity Credit Union District Council member Mike McLeod, while (left to right) Dean Rowley (Affinity Credit Union Regional Manager), Jeff Bergman (MCRP), Gerri Sametts (MCRP), Trevor Hanley (Affinity Commercial Accounts Rep), Tena Strunk (Affinity Financial Services Manager), Tony Korol (Affinity Martensville Branch manager), Cheryl Fraser (Affinity Member Services Rep), and Jordan Hamilton (MCRP) look on.

Holding angels

Angel dresses provide comfort in time of loss

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Loss of life is always difficult. The loss of a tiny life that has not yet greeted the world holds its own unique pain.

Angel dresses came about through just such a loss.

Becky Panter lost her son Christopher at 15 weeks in February 2014.

“I wanted to cuddle him, I wanted to hold him. I wanted him to know that I loved him,” she said. In fact, she wanted to honour him, affirm his existence and give him dignity.

“I had made some blankets out of flannel for my daughters, and I wrapped Christopher in one of those because I didn’t have anything for him.” But she wanted to do something more.

From her grief came a movement to make clothing for other little ones lost. She and others used their own wedding dressings or grad dresses to sew ‘Angel Dresses.’ Others began donating their dresses for the cause. Saskatchewan Angel Dresses Facebook page was born, netting around 1300 members in one week!

The movement spread to Royal University Hospital. Tammy Pearson from Dalmeny heard about it through a friend of a friend. Pearson is an experienced seamstress who calls herself the “number one Riders fan.” Her horses have Riders blankets.

Although Pearson has not experienced this kind of loss, she contacted Becky and joined the group because she feels so passionate about it. She’s one of about 200 seamstresses across Saskatchewan who sew for the cause. Others choose to knit or crochet.

There’s a surprisingly large need for this. Panter says in the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region they go through about 1800 of these Angel Dresses in a year. In Saskatoon it’s about 60 to 100 per month.

Pearson said she had a grandpa who’s a ‘big old Harley

“I’m so proud to be part of this organization,” said Pearson. “I put a piece of me in every dress I make.

I just want those moms to know that somebody else loves them and their baby.

And that we’re hurting for them.”

While it can become overwhelming to sew for a sad cause, there is satisfaction in this work as well.

“It gives me so much joy and pleasure that I can help some mom and dad with what they’re going through,” said Pearson.

Tobi Torresan awarded SECA’s outstanding director in early learning

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca You get choked up.

That’s what happens when your co-workers and your board speak well of you.

That’s what happened to Tobi Torresan when she accepted her recent award for outstanding director from the Saskatchewan Early Childhood Association (SECA).

Torresan has been working in early learning for twenty years. SECA’s outstanding director has to be from a single site centre who demonstrates commitment to early years development. They’re looking for exceptional leadership skills, team building, parent engagement, staff support and management skills to organize and develop a professional early years business.

Torresan launched the Vanscoy & District Early Learning Centre five years ago. She says it has run really well since inception.

The centre has five full time staff, two part-timers and a few casual helpers. It has 37 spaces from ages 18 months to 12 years in three classes and is close to capacity. “It just depends on the month.”

“We got approved two years ago to be a host site for the province. We’re ac-

tually a site that other students and staff come to, to see the curriculum that we use, that the Ministry of Education puts out,” said Torresan. The curriculum is called Play and Exploration.

“That was a goal. I was glad that we were approved to be one of those sites.”

The awards gala was held on November 20 at the Saskatoon Inn and was a fairly formal affair. Torresan knew about two weeks beforehand that she was going to get the award. She went shopping and got her hair done for the gala. You would too if you were about to meet Don Morgan from the Ministry of Education and other consultants from the Early Years branch.

SECA puts on the event together with sponsor, “Chrystal Rivet Memorial Framed Talent Art Gala.” Torresan says the Rivet family lost their daughter in a car accident a few years back so every year they put on this gala, which she was a part of starting. Mr. Rivet is always there to present the awards.

“The proceeds go towards bursaries for these awards, and towards scholarships for students taking early childhood education,” she said.

The emotion came for Tor-

stalled after many long months of fundraising from students, teachers, community-minded individuals, businesses and non-profit organizations, said Neufeld.

A committee made up of teachers and community volunteers spearheaded the effort, which included auctions, raffles, bake sales and countless other activities in addition to direct monetary donations.

A plaque recognizing gold, silver and bronze-lev-

el supporters of the project that was unveiled at the ceremony will be hung inside the school. The plaque lists Prairie Spirit School Division, Don and Jeannette Block of Block Agencies, the Walter W. Brown High School Students Representative Council, Greg and Mindy Beaver of Investors Group; Affinity Credit Union Langham Branch; FCC Agrispirit Fund; and West Jet airlines as major sponsors.

Torresan didn’t know how many others were nominated but she said having her staff and board nominate her, and to know that they think she’s doing a good job

was enough.

“It was a real honour because to be nominated by your peers or the people you work with, that alone made me feel good.”

Tobi Torresan (centre) recently received the Outstanding Director award from Saskatchewan Early Childhood Association resan when a nomination letter from a board member was read at the awards gala. “ I had something planned in my head what I would say, but when I got up

there I choked up a bit, so I said a few things and then I just went and sat down,” she smiled.

The award itself, she said, is a beautiful piece of glass.

Report from the

Legislature

Nancy Heppner MLA MARTENSVILLE CONSTITUENCY

Moving Forward with Shorter Waits for Surgery

In 2007, the Waiting Your Turn: Wait Times for Health Care in Canada report revealed that Saskatchewan had the longest wait times for surgery in Canada.

Today, the same report shows we have the shortest.

This is thanks to the many health care professionals across the province who continue to work hard on wait time reductions through innovation and putting patients first.

One such innovation in Saskatchewan is the use of private surgical clinics within the public system.

The NDP would cancel private clinics on ideological grounds, taking the people of our province back to languish on longer surgical wait lists. We believe patients will choose timely surgery over ideology every single time. We’ve got more work to do, but we will keep moving forward.

during regular business hours on Thursday, December 10, 2015 to Tuesday, December 22, 2015 at the Town of Radisson Administration Office.

Saskatchewan is strong and moving forward with a diversified economy that continues to create new jobs despite the challenges in our energy sector. That’s a big change from a few years ago when a downturn in one part of the economy would lead to job losses in every part of the economy.

Saskatchewan posted strong employment growth numbers in November, especially when compared to the rest of the country. There were 7,200 more jobs year-over-year with a growth rate of nearly twice the national average. Saskatchewan also has the lowest unemployment rate in the country.

Saskatchewan’s First Uranium Shipment Arrives In India

India recently received its first shipment of Saskatchewan uranium under the Canada-India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement, an economic milestone for our uranium industry and our province. While all of Saskatchewan benefits from having this major new customer for our resource, this export news is particularly welcome for uranium workers, nearly half of whom are First Nations and Métis.

Saskatchewan is the world’s second-leading producer of uranium and is home to 100 per cent of Canada’s uranium mining industry. Saskatchewan’s uranium industry employs more than 4,000 people with almost half of its mining workforce residents of northern Saskatchewan. Our province’s uranium exports add approximately $1.2 billion annually to the Canadian economy.

Career Day helps students map future

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Students from Borden School and Walter W. Brown School have a better idea of potential job options after a Career Fair event held in Langham on Friday, December 11.

This was the third career fair held at WW Brown School since 2011, said event organizer Terry Chalifour, a teacher at the school.

“We did the first one in 2011 and then realized that it’s quite a bit of work, so we decided to do it every two years,” said Chalifour.

“The Borden students have been involved since the first event, so it’s really for the benefit of two schools.”

In addition to presentations from several major post-secondary institutions, students were able to hear

what’s involved in a variety of careers. About 25 former students returned to the school to share experiences and insights. Some presenters gave sessions on both their work and how they sought out and qualified for scholarships to post-secondary institutions.

Chalifour said alumni were quick to step forward to volunteer to speak at the event Prairie Spirit School Division Board of Education Chair Larry Pavloff said events like the Career Fair are important for students as they try to decide what their future holds for them.

“During the last ten years of my teaching career, I was involved in teaching career education and life choices,” said Pavloff. “I can’t stress enough the importance of

WW Brown School teacher Terry Chalifour getting students to experience what being in the workforce is all about.”

The career fair featured 45-minute sessions in both the morning and afternoon from post-secondary institutions, and 20-minute presentations from alumni

West Connector Route options laid out “It’s a feasibility study to determine what are the options, what are the costs and what are the constraints,” said Rebecca Row, director of planning and development for the RM. “It’s to ensure there’s a freer and safer flow of traffic.”

The ministry will take the comments from the December 2 information session and come back in spring 2016 with some refined options. “The public might tell us there’s a different option we haven’t considered,” said Row. For this project, the ministry has made no commitment to return with a preferred option, according to Row. The partnership will

review the routes, land use and ease of implementation, and calculate traffic projections and preliminary cost estimates.

At an open house on November 19, the Ministry presented their finding that, based on traffic volumes, a freeway through the south-west quadrant around Saskatoon connecting Highway 11 to Highway 7 is not currently warranted. At that time they proposed three possible options for a freeway route through the south-east quadrant.

A north-east alignment route has already been determined. West connector routes will coordinate with freeway routes.

South connector routes on 11 Street and Hodgson Road present higher density residential populations. Judy Harwood reeve of the RM of Corman Park felt there was a fairly strong turn-out from the Montgomery area.

“I talked to the city counselor from that area and they really do not want it going down 11th Street,” she said.

Harwood pointed out that there’s still a railway crossing on the proposed segment of 11th Street which can cause up to 20 minute delays. This is of special concern when emergency vehicles are caught in that traffic and it becomes a public safety issue.

A Christmas message from Premier Brad Wall

In summer of 2015, public officials in our province of Saskatchewan issued a decree: that all affected people leave their homes and in mass exodus, travel to places of refuge where they could be safe and accounted for.

They were escaping blazing forest fires of epic proportions.

It was the largest evacuation in Saskatchewan history.

Thousands of people were on the move, all of them in uncertain circumstances, not knowing how quickly they would return home.

For a few young women, these circumstances had an added dimension of uncertainty. They were in the late stages of pregnancy.

These young women were living as displaced persons far from home, without the supplies they had gathered for their new baby.

But thankfully for all con-

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall cerned, healthy babies were delivered in hospitals close by with medical staff to give assistance.

We are privileged to live in a province where people come together. That can be difficult when stress levels are high.

And so, I salute the evacuees, the firefighters, the troops, the Red Cross, and the local officials, the mayors and chiefs.

Those who shared money,

A Christmas message from the Lieutenant Governor In 1914, the world was at war. Trench warfare created very difficult circumstances, particularly in the cold of winter.

But on that Christmas Eve, something remarkable happened. A Christmas truce was called, and the soldiers on both sides laid down their weapons. They ventured out of their trenches and even exchanged modest gifts. That night, when the British soldiers began to sing “O Come All Ye Faithful,” the Germans joined in, singing the same hymn to the Latin words “Adeste Fideles.”

For me, this is the true message of Christmas. No matter what our circumstances, there is reason for hope and for gratitude.

This Christmas, I am grateful for the Canadian men and women in uniform. I wish to thank the Canadian Armed Forces, our police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, for the sacrifices they make to serve.

I am fortunate to take part in hundreds of events each year across Saskatchewan. This is a constant reminder to me of our greatest strength – our innovative, compassionate, and generous people. I am grateful to everyone who gives their time to provide leadership to local organizations, and to support community events and initiatives. Truly, you are what makes our province and our nation great.

As you celebrate this spe-

food and supplies, and those who prayed for an ending to this situation. All rose to the occasion.

Two thousand years ago, a public official named Caesar Augustus issued a decree that all people needed to be accounted for. It affected the entire Roman world. Everyone needed to be registered.

Many people were on the move, with primitive travel arrangements, not knowing how long this would take.

I’m sure for some young women, this circumstance had an added dimension of uncertainty. Like being in the late stages of pregnancy.

For one of these young women, the time came to have her baby, her first.

Not in a local hospital along the way, not even in a clean, comfortable Holiday Inn, but in a stable, with precious few amenities.

Her only assistant, a most likely very, very nervous husband, with perhaps some curious animals looking on.

She didn’t have much for supplies either. All she had were a few strips of cloth to wrap him in. And all she

could lay him in was not a cradle made by her carpenter husband, but just a simple, dirty manger.

Crude surroundings for a King. His first visitors – an adoring group in from the fields smelling strongly of sheep. They were alerted by a type of atmospheric media unlike any we could imagine.

All rose to the occasion.

This Christmas, we celebrate the arrival of that very special baby boy. The “Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born on that day” as it has been said. (Leigh Hunt) His name is Jesus, the essence of hope and peace and the ultimate example of self-sacrifice for love.

So from me and my wife Tami, and our family, and on behalf of my colleagues in the Government of Saskatchewan: “May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope; The spirit of Christmas which is peace; The heart of Christmas which is love.” (Ada V. Hendricks) And may you spread joy to others who need it most.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
