RM hits the road for SARM convention

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The RM of Corman Park was well represented at the SARM convention in Regina March 7 to 10. Reeve Judy Harwood represented Corman Park and Division 5 as director.

Also attending were administrator, Adam Tittemore, as well as councillors Joanne Janzen, Wendy Trask, Michelle Chuhaniuk, Ken Beauchemin, John Germs and Randy Rooke.

The RM presented several resolutions at SARM including a request for an additional land division designation of ‘recreational,’ and a resolution relating to interjurisdictional land acquisi-

The RM of Corman Park Council was invited to attend the Agricultural Health and Safety Network (AHSN) AGM to be held during the SARM Convention. The R.M. of has been a member of the AHSN for 20 years and was presented with an award. Reeve Harwood had been chosen to represent the RM and receive the 20-year award.

Councillors were alerted to an “extra” session being offered by governance guru and keynote speaker George Cuff, for those who wished to attend. This “Off the Cuff” presentation was followed by a Q and A session.

Road restrictions and a closure

The Public Works Committee reported at Council’s March 7 meeting that the Ministry of Highways had provided advance notice of the removal of winter weight road restrictions. As of March 4, Winter Weights will no longer be in effect for the RM of Corman Park and surrounding municipalities. Information regarding the implementation of Spring Road bans will be forthcoming.

Councillors discussed the permanent closure of a summer road located at Range Road 3094 north of Asquith, en route to the As-

In late 2014, the RM installed two locked gates at either end of an approximate two-mile stretch. Not long after, one gate was torn down by unknown parties.

At the end of February, the RM heard that the north gate had also been pulled down. Residents have now requested cement barricades be put up.

Councillor Trask recommended concrete barriers be added. These would deter vehicular traffic, but allow snowmobilers passage. Her motion passed.

Dalmeny honours husband-wife firefighting team

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Rick and Joanne Elder of Dalmeny are the epitome of teamwork.

The husband-wife duo have not only raised a family together, they’ve stood shoulder-to-shoulder on the front lines battling fires and providing emergency medical care to trauma victims and sick or injured residents of their community.

And they’ve been doing it for twenty-five years.

They are among a select few couples in the province and the country where both spouses are members of a volunteer fire department.

“I’ve got the best job in the world,” said Rick, who’s served as Dalmeny Fire Chief since 1997.

“There’s not too many people that get to work alongside their best friend.”

Rick joined the Dalmeny Fire Department as a firefighter in 1990. A year later, his wife Joanne signed up to spearhead the formation and growth of the First Responder program within the fire department.

“We never really thought that we’d still be doing this twenty-five years later,” said Joanne. “It just kind of worked out that way.

The secret?

“He gets to boss me around at the scene of the fire or collision,” she added. “And I get to boss him around at home, so it balances out.”

“Actually, I think it boils down to understanding and communication,” said Rick. “We’re in synch and we respect each other. There’s

also a real deep understanding of what it takes to do the job of a volunteer firefighter. You need that support at home from your spouse.

“Joanne knows and understands because she’s as involved as I am.

“We also keep our professional and personal lives separate.”

Joanne agrees mutual respect is the key.

“At the end of the day, he’s the fire chief, and he’s the guy who has to bring everyone home safely,” she said. “Off-duty, we’re like any other married couple.”

Rick said the support of family and neighbours over the years allowed them both to be active in the fire department.

“When you’re responding to a call and you’ve got the radio going in one hand and you’re dialing the babysitter’s number with the other hand, it kind of changes the dynamic of things when you’re heading out the door,” he said. “We really appreciated the support of our family, including our kids, who put up with many rescheduled afternoons and weekends over the years.”

COMMUNITY RECOGNITION

On Sunday, March 6, the community of Dalmeny paid tribute to the couple for their quarter-century of service and leadership. Certificates of recognition were presented to Rick and Joanne by Dalmeny Mayor Nick Bakker at a ceremony at the JJ Loewen Centre; and a large framed photograph was also presented by the members of Dalmeny Fire Rescue.

Dalmeny Mayor Nick Bakker said while volunteers are crucial to the growth and well-being of ev-

ery community, Rick and Joanne have taken that to a whole different level.

“The job they’ve done for this community, and the region, is second-to-none,” said Bakker. “I don’t know what we can do as a community to say thank you. Sometimes words are not enough, but words are all there are. So thank you so much for your dedication and your service.”

Rick, who works as a pipeline operator for Suncor Energy, joined the Dalmeny Fire Department in 1990 and served as a firefighter from April 1990 to September 1991; as a lieutenant from September 1991 to May 1994, a captain from 1994 to 1996, and deputy chief from 1996 to 1997. He has served as fire chief since then. Rick was first certified as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) in 1992.

Joanne joined as a first responder in 1991 and became an EMT in 1992. She is a fully-certified firefighter as well; and was in charge of the department’s First Responder program training from 1993 to 2014 ,when she turned those duties over to DFR Lieutenant Nikki Hyland. Joanne currently serves as the DFR’s public information officer.

DFR Deputy Chief Wilbur Hueser said the community owes the couple a huge debt for following the lead of Warman and Martensville fire departments by initiating the first responder program in Dalmeny in the early 1990s.

“They’re forward-thinking people,” said Hueser. “Always thinking of the future and what is needed for their community.”

Hueser said Rick is a fire chief

Deputy Chief Wilbur Hueser and other members of the DFR look on during the presentation. with leadership qualities that everyone in the department admires.

“We’d follow him anywhere, through hell or high water, because we know he would take us through to the other side,” said Hueser.

Bakker, who served as Dalmeny’s Police Chief for several years in the 1990s, recalled an incident from those early days.

“Not long after Rick and Joanne joined the fire department, we had an incident that required the services of both Rick and Joanne,” Marketed By:

said Bakker with a grin. “So I whipped over to their house in a police car and picked them up.

Rick got in the front seat and Joanne in the back seat, and we went to the house where the issue was. Rick and I stormed into the house to deal with it, forgetting that Joanne was in the back of the car. And of course, people that ride in the back of a police car cannot get out without an officer’s assistance; so she had the toughest job of the whole evening, sitting there till somebody let her out.”

Dalmeny Fire Rescue members set an old mobile home ablaze during a training exercise in the RM of Corman Park on Saturday, March 5

Fire training gives Dalmeny recruits valuable experience

By MACKENZIE HEINTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca Dalmeny Fire and Rescue put their weekly training to good use during a live fire training scenario involving a mobile home.

The exercise took place on Saturday, March 5 on a farm in the RM of Corman Park due west of Martensville and southeast of Dalmeny.

Throughout the day, the firefighters practiced scenarios without the building on fire, and then did scenarios while the mobile home was on fire.

“What we did was – it was broken down into divisions and there were learning components that were non-live fire-related (in the morning). And …they were able to go through things without the fire being there,” said Dalmeny Fire and Rescue public information officer Lt. Joanne Elder.

She said the knowledge gained during the morning training was put to use later when the building was on fire.

One of the main purposes of this training exercise was to allow the new recruits to

get hands-on live fire training. It was also good for the other firefighters to practice putting out a live fire.

“The new firefighters get to experience their first live fires and our more senior people get to work with them so it increases their education as well, because they’re helping the junior ones learn. So it’s beneficial for everybody involved,” Elder said.

The fire department tries to have live fire training exercises at least once a year.

As they get new recruits, it’s important for everyone to get that live fire experience.

This scenario acts as a dry run for when the department is actually called out to a fire scene, so they know exactly what to do in the situation.

“It’s extremely important, because what we need to do is be able to train in as live and real situations as possible, in order for everybody to get the best training, so that the public has the best response we can give them,” Elder said.

Another aspect that the fire department practiced

through the fire scenario that goes along with any call, whether it’s a motor vehicle accident or a fire, is the incident command system, Elder mentioned.

“The incident command system is important in any incident that we go to, to make sure that everything is structured so everybody understands their roles,” she said.

Throughout the year, the fire department trains once a week; each week learning about different scenarios.

“One night we have medical training, another night will be rescue, another night will be hazmat and another night will be fire.

So we rotate on a four week rotation, and every week is something different,” Elder said.

It’s beneficial for the fire department to have the live training scenarios so they can apply what they learn in theory to a real life situation.

There were 17 firefighters that were at the live fire training exercise. There are 20 members on the Dalmeny Fire and Rescue crew.

Martensville’s KidSport Second licensed playhouse nearing completion childcare centre opens in Warman

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A 300-square foot two-storey playhouse, complete with all the bells and whistles, is getting close to completion.

The solidly-designed playhouse is under construction inside the industrial arts workshop at Martensville High School (MHS).

About a month from now, it’s slated to be moved to the A&W in Martensville where the public can get a first-hand look at the students’ masterpiece.

The playhouse is the grand prize in a raffle designed to raise money for Warman and Martensville KidSport organizations. KidSport is a charity that provides funding for youngsters that otherwise would not be able to participate in organized sports.

The project is a partnership between the KidSport organizations in the two cities, the Martensville A&W, Martensville Building and Home Supply, and the Clark’s Crossing Gazette. Tickets for the raffle can be purchased at the Martensville A&W and the draw will be made in late spring or early summer.

The playhouse is a “one of a kind” design, incorporating dormer windows on the second floor, a veranda, and functioning doors and windows. The exterior will have siding and the roof will have asphalt shingles.

It’s a big project that’s taking a lot of time because of the complicated design and the amount of labour involved, said Patrick Wills, the shop teacher at MHS who’s been filling in for regular teacher David Fossum while he recovers from an ankle injury.

“We’re hoping to have the exterior finished by the end of the month,” said Wills. “Right now we’re working on getting the roof finished. A couple of guys are putting on some drip edge, applying tarpaper in preparation for shingling next week.”

Once the exterior work is finished, the interior will be drywalled and finished. ‘Kid-friendly’ designs will be painted on the walls inside by art students.

The project began last fall with

TERRRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Martensville High School students work on a two-storey playhouse which will be the grand prize in a fundraising raffle for the Martensville and Warman KidSport organizations. a group of Grade 12 students under the direction of Fossum. Before Christmas, Wills took over the project while filling in for Fossum. When the semester ended and a new one began, a fresh group of industrial arts students, most of whom are in Grade 11, embraced the task of finishing the playhouse.

“The Grade 11 students were

pretty stoked when they found out they could work on this,” said Wills. “It’s kind of a treat for them because normally they don’t get to work on sheds until their Grade 12 year.

“They’re kind of learning the techniques in reverse by doing the finishing work before starting their own shed later on, but that’s just the way it worked out.”

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca It’s ‘nap time’ for babies and toddlers at the newly-opened Warman Childcare Centre (WCC), and the decibel level temporarily drops down a notch or two.

But over in the preschool rooms, it’s still a hive of activity and non-stop chatter as about a dozen energetic, smiling youngsters are busy colouring, building, singing, dancing and playing.

Ask any one of them if they’re having fun, and they give you a big grin while nodding enthusiastically.

The early childhood education centre, which opened its doors on Tuesday, March 1, is the second licensed childcare centre in Warman. (The Lutheran Early Childhood Education Centre opened in February, 2015.) With an estimated 1,500 to 2,000 young families in Warman, Martensville and area seeking childcare services, it’s filling an immediate need. But even though it’s been open for only a few days, there’s already a growing waiting list.

At least 25 families are looking to get their kids enrolled as soon as spaces become available.

The new 4,000 square-foot facility has a capacity of 42 licensed spaces, and provides care to kids ranging in age from infants to preschool, said WCC Director Tammy Desrosiers. It’s open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily except statutory holidays. It currently has a staff of eight, but that will expand to nine employees by the end of the month. Located next to the Brian King Centre on city-owned property, the facility is operated by a volunteer, non-profit, charitable organization that had its start about three years ago.

“It’s pretty amazing how far we’ve come since a bunch of us sat around a kitchen table and drew up some rough plans for this building in 2013,” said Desrosiers in an interview on Friday, March 4. “It’s a big project,

{

but thanks to the help and cooperation of the City of Warman, it’s actually happened. It turned out pretty much exactly as we had envisioned it.”

That original group of six young working mothers who launched the project, and saw it through its many ups and downs, includes: Desrosiers, WCC Board Chair Brenda Black, Kaleena Becker, Shelagh Steckler, Lori Whitehead and Tanya Craddock.

Other volunteers have pitched in as well.

Desrosiers said each member of their committee brought certain strengths to the planning table. Desrosiers has 14 years of experience in childcare centres as a worker and director; Black has a background in construction; and Becker’s area of expertise is in financial services. By working together, they came up with a business plan that made sense to all parties.

“There was a lot of back and forth when it came to coming up with suitable arrangements to meet the criteria for both the city (which provided the land) and the local credit union (which provided funding for the mortgage on the building),” said Desrosiers.

“But it all worked out in the end.

“Everyone really wanted it to happen, “she added. “It’s exactly what the community needs.”

Construction began last fall and was largely completed by the end of January, said Desrosiers.

“During February we had about a three-week window where we could get everything ready, unload all our donations of toys and crafts materials from our garages, and do our staff orientation,” she said. “Our opening this past week was right on schedule.”

The facility includes segregated rooms for different age groups, with staff dedicated to each room.

It also includes a lunchroom, office space, storage rooms, mechanical and janitorial rooms. A grand opening for the facility is slated to take place in May.

First Nations partnerships in resource development

COMMENTARY

By RAVINA BAINS and TAYLOR JACKSON Centre for Natural Resources, Fraser Institute We often hear about First Nation communities in Canada opposing natural resource projects. Whether it’s an LNG plant in British Columbia or mining projects in eastern Canada, the news is full of First Nation opposition to resource development. However, the one jurisdiction that may be the exception to that rule is the land of living skies, Saskatchewan.

In Saskatchewan there are countless examples of First Nations communities working in partnership with mining companies to bring projects to fruition. In fact, there are more than 45 mining partnerships between First Nations and resource companies in Saskatchewan. For example, Muskowekwan First Nation and Encanto, a Vancouver-based company, are undertaking a joint venture to develop the first on-reserve potash mine in Canada that will generate 2.8 million tons of potash annually and create approximately 1,000 jobs. Just recently, English River First Nation and Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation acquired 30 per cent of JNE Welding, a company that manufactures steel vessels for mining companies. With these types of partnerships it’s no surprise that the mining sector is the largest private-sector employer of aboriginal people.

But what helps make Saskatchewan an attractive jurisdiction for mining investment from both First Nations and resource companies?

Unlike provinces like B.C., Saskatchewan is covered by historic treaties and Treaty Land Entitlement agreements. These agreements allow First Nations to purchase Crown land anywhere in Saskatchewan to convert to reserve land, providing land certainty not currently found in provinces like B.C., where more than 100 per cent of the land is under claim with very few historic or modern treaties. And First Nations partnerships and land certainty are two of the things that have made Saskatchewan the most attractive province for mining investment.

In 2015, as in 2014, Saskatchewan was not only the most attractive jurisdiction for mining investment in Canada but also the second most attractive jurisdiction in the world, according to the Fraser Institute’s annual mining survey.

Saskatchewan is also one of the only jurisdictions in Canada where uncertainty surrounding disputed land claims is not a significant barrier to investment in the mining sector. This positive trend for Saskatchewan stands in stark contrast to how disputed land claims are affecting the perceptions of miners in B.C. In 2013 in B.C., 69 per cent of respondents found disputed land claims to be a deterrent to investment. This increased to 73 per cent of respondents in 2014 and finally reached 77 per cent in 2015.

Through its consistent high ranking in the annual Fraser Institute Mining Survey, Saskatchewan has demonstrated that land certainty and positive partnerships with First Nations help make the province one of the most attractive jurisdictions in the world for mining investment.

Elections need to talk about debt There are several reasons why an election debate over Saskatchewan’s debt is hard to have.

For starters, it’s more fun for all voters to talk about what politicians will spend on them.

We all secretly want to believe the notion peddled by many politicians that governments can spend as much as they want, not raise taxes and still somehow magically balance the books.

But its’s a particularly disturbing discussion for rural folk who don’t particularly feel obliged to again be saddled with the brunt of fixing the debt issue.

The last major restructuring was fought on the backs of rural people who saw 52 of their hospitals converted to “wellness centres.

Moreover, rural people also wound up carrying more than their share of the tax burden, because of things like the education tax on agriculture land.

Yet they got fewer schools, fewer nursing homes and certainly fewer hospitals.

And highways were simply a mess.

And the horrifically sad reality two decades ago is that rural Saskatchewan

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

was vulnerable to all these cuts because it was simultaneously hit by a downturn in the economy.

The less viability small farms and the weaker the oilpatch and potash sector, the more likely people were to leave rural Saskatchewan.

The more people that left, the harder it became to justify keeping all the schools and hospitals open.

But while many in rural Saskatchewan have hoped the above was a distant nightmare, consider the reality of today.

The boom of the past decade largely benefitted Regina and Saskatoon, as we watched many towns and smaller cities in rural Saskatchewan continue to decline.

Now, we are again in a cycle of declining prices in the oil and potash sectors; largely because of world economic events beyond anyone’s control.

However, this same world

Consider Finance Minister Kevin Doherty’s recent third-quarter update of the 2015-16 budget.

Saskatchewan’s Finance Minister announced that the overall provincial debt for this budget year is $427-million. That’s a half-billion dollars worse than the $107-million surplus former finance minister Ken Krawetz initially announced. It’s even a far cry from Doherty’s own mid-year budget update three months ago when he announced a $292-million deficit.

And this doesn’t even include the $700 million in open-market borrowing for capital spending that the Sask. Party government has kept off the books.

Add that $700 million to the admitted $472-million deficit and we are now looking at $1.2-billion deficit this budget year.

Of course, a government starting an election campaign this week surely doesn’t want to talk about a billion-dollar deficit.

Or at the very least,

Doherty and company did their utmost to downplay the true deficit figure.

But what’s far harder to discount is that, as of Dec. 31, Saskatchewan public debt had risen to $13.548 billion.

That’s nearly $2-billion more than a year ago when the year-end total public debt for 2014-15 was $11.658 billion.

It’s also about where this province’s finances were when the Devine government left office nearly a quarter-century ago.

So this leaves us with a question many of us would rather not have to answer: How will we deal with this rising debt?

Maybe the job situation and growth aren’t the problems they were in the 1990s.

But make no mistake that the overall debt situation is now about what the Roy Romanow government inherited.

The mistake that Saskatchewan people made both in the 1991 and 1986 elections was not talking about that rising debt.

So before people in rural Saskatchewan and elsewhere wind up having to pay the price again, maybe we should have a debt conversation this election campaign.

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.

MARTENSVILLE-WARMAN CONSTITUENCY

Jasmine Calix

Nancy Heppner

Michael McAteer

Darcy Robilliard

As a dedicated community leader with a decade of leadership experience, I am proud to be running as the New Democrat candidate in Martensville-Warman.

Born in Moose Jaw, I moved to Martensville several years ago when I bought my first home. I work for the Saskatoon Police Service as an assistant coordinator with the Crime-Free Multi-Housing program. I have two degrees in politics, a BA from Washington & Lee University and an MA from the University of Saskatchewan.

I am president of Stone Pointe Estates in Martensville and sit on the Martensville Housing Authority. I also served on the Saskatchewan Arts Board. My political experience includes working for the Provincial Government; and the Canadian Embassy and United States Senate in Washington DC. I’m running to be MLA for MartensvilleWarman to give this constituency the representation it deserves. It’s time to put an end to the Sask Party’s neglect of our constituency. Despite eight years of record revenues, the Sask. Party is neglecting what matters most to people – making cuts in healthcare and education while spending millions on consultants and pet projects.

As your MLA, I will work with Cam Broten and the NDP team to cut the Sask. Party’s wasteful spending and deliver top-notch education and opportunities for young people; fairness and affordability for families; dignity and security for seniors; and highquality health care for everyone.

You deserve an MLA who is focused on the priorities that matter most to you and your family. I am prepared to be that MLA.

My desire to run for office comes from watching my parents’ dedicated involvement in our community. They instilled in me their love of community service. Since first being elected as an MLA in the March 2007 byelection, I have had the opportunity to serve in a variety of roles: Minister of Environment, Minister of Central Services and Minister of Highways.

It’s been an honour to serve as your MLA for the past 9 years and be your voice in Regina. I have tried my best to advocate on your behalf. In the Martensville-WarmanOsler area, we have seen unprecedented investment in highways: new and upgraded 305, upgraded Dalmeny access road, numerous safety improvements on both Highways 11 and 12, and the soon-to-be constructed overpasses on both Highways 11 and 12.

We have also delivered new schools: expansion of Martensville High School, middle years school in Warman and construction has begun on new joint-use elementary schools in both Warman and Martensville.

We have delivered record revenue sharing so our communities can deal with the challenges of growth. We have done these things without raising taxes. In fact, we’ve lowered your taxes - both property taxes and personal income taxes.

I believe that growth is important so that we can make sure that the necessary programs and infrastructure are in place so that everyone in our province benefits. On election day on April 4th, I once again ask for your support so together we can make our communities the very best places to live, work and raise families. Thank you.

Like other newcomers to Saskatchewan, I believe the future starts here.

But the optimism is being killed by backward policies of this current government.

I never thought I would see roads as bad as in Quebec until I came to Saskatoon.

Here, a truck is not a lifestyle choice, it is a necessity.

Saskatoon receives more sunshine than any other place in Canada, but there is no solar industry. On my trip here I drove through North Dakota. They were pumping over a million barrels of oil a day, and yet that state generates 18% of its electricity from wind. Saskatchewan’s wind generation is less than 5%. Why? It is because we do not have a free market in electricity production and are held hostage by government policy. Lost was the opportunity to develop new businesses with stable jobs and an educated workforce.

Now that we are on the downside of the resource roller coaster, the first thing this government wants to cut is education. Everyone knows the smart money goes where education is regarded as an investment, not a cost.

Agriculture has been increasingly freed from government intervention and we have demonstrated that we can compete to win, but we still must rely upon government regulated infrastructure to get product to market. Why are we competing with ourselves and forcing up freight rates?

The Liberals have deep historical roots in Saskatchewan. Our numbers have been pared back in the recent past, but we are a living tree and will flourish again. Be Liberal.

My name is Darcy Robilliard. I work as a baker at Real Canadian Superstore in Regina.

I am running for the Saskatchewan Green Party to provide the voters in the Martensville-Warman constituency with the opportunity to vote for our party. We have an election platform item just for the people of Martensville-Warman constituency.

If we are elected to form a government in Saskatchewan, we will use STC to test pilot a commuter program. We would spend $245-thousand on the 18-month test pilot, based on a similar program that was tested a few years ago in Whitecourt, Alberta.

The Martensville and Warman area has the fastest growing population in the province. It is for this reason that our government would test pilot the STC commuter project in this thriving constituency. The Saskatchewan Party Government wants to privatize STC, but we believe there is an opportunity to make the Crown Corporation profitable. Saskatchewan will continue to be the land of opportunity in the future, and Martensville and Warman should remain on the cutting edge of Saskatchewan’s population growth. These targets will be met with a bold vision of the future that includes having the infrastructure in place that allows entrepreneurship to thrive in communities like Martensville.

MARTENSVILLE OWN YOUR OWN SPECIALTY COFFEE FRANCHISE

Martensville Mayor Kent Muench (right) presented the Volunteer of the Year award to Lions Club President Syl Serblowski (second from right). Serblowski was nominated by fellow Lions Club members Doug Ward, Geoff Passy, Carol Conrad and Maria Fowler.

Serblowski honoured as Martensville Volunteer of Year

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Syl Serblowski moved to Martensville 44 years ago, and he’s been doing charitable work in the community ever since.

On Tuesday, March 1, Serblowski’s efforts were officially recognized when he was awarded the 2015 Martensville Volunteer of the Year award at the Martensville City Council meeting.

Martensville Mayor Kent Muench was all smiles as he presented the plaque to Serblowski.

“Syl has devoted countless hours to community events and organizations,” said Muench. “And he’s still very much a an active member of many groups.”

Muench noted that Serblowski is President of the Martensville Lions Club and has been a member of that organization for 37 years.

“He also served 15 years on the local housing authority, eight years with the library board, six years with the Knights of Columbus, two years with the Martensville New Horizons seniors

organization and “several terms” on the Martensville municipal council.

“Martensville is a better place as a result of Syl’s efforts,” said Muench.

Serblowski said he was honoured, and at the same time, surprised, to receive the award.

“On behalf of all the volunteers in the community, and there are many organizations and individuals that do a lot, thanks very much,” said Serblowski. “It’s very humbling and very rewarding to receive this honour.”

Dundurn trade centre a step closer to reality, says Nystrom Company pays $7.6 million for 30 acres in Regina’s Global Transportion Hub

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Brightenview Developments’ plan for a massive wholesale trade and exhibition centre at Dundurn is “well along the way to becoming a reality” in the near future, according to Brightenview Vice-President of Public Affairs Lorne Nystrom.

In a phone interview on Thursday, March 3, Nystrom said the company’s $7.6 million purchase of 30 acres of property in the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) in Regina is a major step forward in its business plan.

The purchase was announced by the provincial government in a news release on March 3.

“The GTH is a trade and logistics warehouse centre that was designated last August as a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ),” said Nystrom.

“It’s one of six locations in Canada that have that designation. It means that foreign companies can import goods and not pay tax on those goods while they are in the trade zone. The companies can assemble and add value to those products.

“The tax is paid by the

buyers when the finished products leave the trade zone. That way Canadian taxpayers get the benefits that come from creation of Canadian jobs and the economic spinoffs resulting from that activity.”

Nystrom said Brightenview’s purchase of 30 acres of land in the GTH at $256,000 per acre is needed to satisfy transportation logistics for the International Exhibition Centre planned for a 155-acre parcel of land along Highway 11 just outside Dundurn. He noted that Brightenview’s latest land acquisition is larger than most of the other companies moving into the GTH. “Most of them are buying three acres or so,” he said. “Ours is significantly more.”

Nystrom said negotiations with several large international companies are currently ongoing with regard to the Dundurn exhibition centre, and noted that further details will be announced when the contracts are signed.

Brightenview purchased the land at Dundurn in the fall of 2012. The company said the project would allow foreign manufacturers, primarily from China, to display their commodities in a central showroom for wholesale buyers from across North America.

In the spring of 2013, the company announced plans to begin construction of a $130 million, 300,000 square foot building with 350 show-

rooms. It was stated at the time that two additional similar-size buildings would be built once the first phase was completed.

Since then, a large sign on the edge of the highway announcing the future home of the project is the only concrete evidence of development.

Nystrom said he understands the skepticism surrounding the project, but added it is a “different kind” of business model than what North Americans are used to.

“I can understand people’s reaction,” said Nystrom. “The business model we have is unique in North America. However, it’s common in Asia, the Middle East and parts of Europe.

“In my mind it’s the way of the future. It just takes a while to put it all together because it is on a significant scale.”

Brightenview Chief Executive Officer Joe Zhou said the GTH was a “perfect fit” for the company’s “business development vision” and added they are committed to investing and developing the Dundurn project.

GTH President and CEO Bryan Richards said the FTZ designation makes the GTH a “logical home” for companies participating in import and export activity.”

“The GTH is an excellent fit for Brightenview’s needs and we look forward to working with them as they develop this opportunity and expand their pres-

Currently, nine companies involved in transportation, warehousing and distribution operate out of the GTH. It has attracted $485 million in private investment and employs over 750 people.

The GTH itself, however,

has not been without controversy, particularly with regard to its land acquisition deals. A total of 204 acres on the west side of Regina was purchased by a crown corporation in 2014 for the GTH. According to a CBC report in early February, 2016, the price paid for the land was two to three

times more than its appraised value, resulting in a $5 million profit for a Regina company. One month after the GTH purchased the land, it sold 58 acres to the provincial Ministry of Highways as part of the Regina Bypass project for $50,000 an acre, less than half its purchase price.

1916: Hey girls, you can

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca

100

For 100 years, Saskatchewan women have been casting ballots in provincial elections. But on March 14, 1916, when women first got the vote, it was massive news.

Prevailing attitudes about gender roles had to be overcome: ideas like, ‘women lack the ability to vote intelligently,’ and ‘happy homes would be broken up by political squabbles.’

These and other protests were communicated in letters to the Grain Growers Association at the time.

A man of influence publicly inquired in a pained voice, “Who will mind the baby when the mother goes to vote?” Women’s movement mover and shaker, Nellie McClung’s reported episodes like this in her book, “In Times Like These.”

One of our neighbouring premiers expressed the popular sentiment of the time that ‘nice women don’t want to vote.’ That sentiment included a view of ‘the tender sex,’ that simultaneously idealized and subjugated women.

In fact, women were lumped in with some unsavory types. The 1906 federal Election Act decreed flatly, “no woman, idiot, lunatic, or criminal shall vote.”

With time, those attitudes and perceptions began to change, beginning in central Canada. Rural prairie women led the fight for provincial voting rights.

“Women in larger towns and cities were not so vocal perhaps as women on farms and rural women in small towns,” said Ruth Bitner, collections curator at the Western Development Museum (WDM).

“I think that’s partly because those women were working terribly hard both in the home and also on the farm.” A lot of chores were considered women’s work. Women were slogging it out, having babies and getting run down. They began to identify the need for better health care, and recognized their own potentially precarious dependency.

“There was the whole idea that your husband could take off and leave you with virtually nothing and you have little recourse,” said Bitner.

Women wanted change, and they thought if they had the vote they could effect change. Organizations like the Womens’ Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), which advocated for prohibition and the end of drinking establishments,

VOTE!

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

The spirit of Nellie McClung lives on in this dress from the early 20th century, displayed at the Western Development Museum. As a women’s movement mover and shaker, McClung and others staged a satirical play in 1914 called “The Women’s Parliament.” She played the premier and made the men beg for the vote. It was a huge success!

got involved.

“Their concerns were that there was a lot of drunkenness and women and their families were being neglected because of that,” said Bitner. The WCTU was one of the first women’s rights movements in Canada and one of the most active.

The Grain Growers Guide, a Winnipeg newspaper, was very influential in western Canada.

Their women’s editor promoted political activism among rural women, according to Bitner.

“Violet McNaughton was one of the main forces behind that whole movement in Saskatchewan.” In 1914 she was elected president of Women Grain Growers, a women’s counterpart to the Saskatchewan Grain Growers (SGG), the men’s association.

“The men, by and large, supported the women in their campaign for increased rights and for voting,” said Bitner.

McNaughton was especially passionate about health care for women and children, and was one of the main driving forces advocating for change.

McClung, although a Manitoba native, also traveled to Saskatchewan to promote voting and other women’s’ rights.

Saskatchewan premier of the day, Walter Scott was not opposed to women getting the vote, but wanted to be convinced women were serious about it.

“In early 1916, the Provincial Equal Franchise Board, an alliance of rural and city women’s organizations, collected over 10,000 signatures in support of votes for women,” reads at statement from a WDM exhibit. Scott granted that right to most women, right after Manitoba did on January 28 and before Alberta on April 19 of 1916.

When this decision was formalized on March 14, everyone in legislature broke into singing, “For they are jolly good fellows.”

Not all women however, got the right to vote. First Nations people could not vote until 1960. In other respects as well, governments have been slow to dismantle certain cultural and societal institutions that maintain inequalities, some of which were highlighted on International Women’s Day. It is stunning that arguments still have to be made for income parity for women, and women continue to be greatly underrepresented in many board rooms and excluded from top positions.

More advocacy is needed, such as that being done by Planet 50-50 by 2030 which aims for gender equality by 2030.

Comedy looks at the lighter side of psychoanalysis

By TERRYPUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca If opening night is half as much fun as rehearsals, audience are in for a treat with the latest offering by the Scared Scriptless Players.

“It’s a gas,” said Gwenda MacPherson, director of the play.

“We’ve been hearing the same jokes for weeks now, but the lines are as fresh as ever because the actors are having such a good time and really getting into their roles.

“There’s a lot of good chemistry happening with everyone involved.”

The community theatre troupe is set to perform “Shrunken Heads” in a dinner theatre format at the Brian King Centre. This is the group’s eighth annual production, with performances slated for Thursday, March 17; Friday, March

18; Saturday, March 19 and Sunday, March 20. Each performance features a catered meal as part of the ticket price. Tickets are available by calling Dorothy Gareau at 306-978-1339.

Shrunken Heads is a comedy about Dr. Robert Hyde, a psychiatrist who just wants a quiet weekend at his country home with his new wife, Polly. Unfortunately for “Dr. Bob,” that’s not possible as his relaxation keeps getting interrupted, with hilarious results.

This play marks MacPherson’s debut as a director.

While she’s had plenty of experience on stage as an actor, the view from the wings offers her a whole new perspective, she said.

“The nice thing is that these people are all excellent actors, and they’re making me look good,” she said with grin. “I’m really looking for-

“In fact, we’re all pretty excited. We have our costumes; all the technical details are coming together nicely; and we’re working on the finishing touches for our set.

“It’ll be a lot of fun. Come out and have a good time.”

Traffic lights recommended for busy Warman intersections

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The City of Warman formally adopted a Transportation Master Plan (TMP) at its regular council meeting on Monday, February 22.

The TMP is intended to provide a framework for future decisions with regard to the city’s transportation network. The TMP was commissioned by the city last year and public feedback was gathered through two open houses, one last fall and one earlier this winter.

Among the recommendations that were accepted by council are the installation of signal lights at the intersections of 6th Avenue and Central Street, Centennial Boulevard and Central Street, Centennial Boulevard and 4th Street and Centennial Boulevard and Clubhouse Boulevard.

Changes to school zone designations, including those along Centennial Boulevard and Central Street,

were also adopted, as was the recommendation to set speed limits on Central and Centennial at 50 kilometers per hour, up from the current limit of 40 kilometers per hour.

PROPERTY TAX FEES BYLAW

At its regular meeting on Monday, March 7, Warman City Council gave all three readings to a bylaw that increases the fee for commercial property appeals.

Currently, the city charges $100 for all property tax appeals, whether they are residential or commercial.

Under the new bylaw, the residential appeal fee remains unchanged, but the commercial appeal fee rises to $250.

The tax search fee for both residential and commercial tax searches or certificates remains unchanged at $15.

WATER RATE INCREASE

Higher rates charged

by SaskWater have trig-

gered an increase in the water utility rate for the City of Warman. Effective May 1, the water rate will rise from $16 per 1,000 gallons to $18.40 per 1,000 gallons.

The city’s minimum water charge will rise from $88 per 5,500 gallons to $18.40 per 5,500 gallons.

SaskWater announced in February that its rates would increase by 7 per cent this year.

Twin Rivers Music Festival offers new composer award

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Talented speech, vocal and instrumental artists will soon converge on the town of Dalmeny for the Twin Rivers Music Festival (TRMF), from March 14 to 18. Now in its fifteenth season, the festival continues to attract a wide range of entrees in interesting genres.

“We are pleased with what is likely the largest number of entries in our history!” said Doreen Benson, TRMF president. “One new teacher from Langham has submitted over 50 entries herself, which is remarkable.”

Entries tend to come mainly from Dalmeny, Langham, Warman and Martensville, but also include several from Saskatoon and area.

Festival organizers are excited about the event for a number of reasons.

The TRMF has entertainment and educational value, which can bring a community together. It also affords an opportunity for communities to support the endeavours of their young people.

An event like this encourages students to set goals and refine and showcase their abilities, while at the same time receive constructive adjudication from professional musicians. Performing in front of an audience helps students build self-discipline and selfconfidence while becoming a positive role model. In addition, the TRMF provides local volunteers with the

The Twin Rivers Music Festival runs next week in Dalmeny opportunity to be involved with young people in a positive way.

Benson said they have one new scholarship this year called the Saskatchewan Composer Award, which speaks for itself. One choir is participating in the festival this year - the Martensville High School choir.

“However, our greatest area of growth is in the vocal/speech arts division.

This has necessitated expanding to include sessions all day Thursday and on into the evening, and then Friday morning and afternoon. This is very encouraging,’ said Benson.

TRMF adjudicators are all from Saskatchewan. Dianne Gryba, from North Battleford, is going to handle not only the Junior Piano division, but also the Speech Arts/Vocal/Choral/Musical Theatre areas. Sharon Gerspacher from Watson is looking after the Senior Piano entries beginning Wednesday evening. Brian Unver-

richt is a local guy from Saskatoon, who will do the Instrumental classes.

The Saskatchewan Music Festival Association out of Regina supplies these knowledgeable and qualified people, Benson said.

All piano classes will take place at the Dalmeny Community Church while the instrumental, vocal and speech arts will be held at Dalmeny Bible Church.

The Twin Rivers Music Festival concludes with an awards concert on March 20 at 3:00 p.m. at the Dalmeny Community Church.

Investing in our communities Unprecedented investment in highways: o new and upgraded 305 from Highway 11 to Dalmeny; o upgraded 684 access road from Dalmeny to Highway 16; o numerous safety improvements on both Highways 11 and 12; o soon-to-be constructed overpasses on both Highways 11 and 12.

Unprecedented investment in schools: o expansion to Martensville High School;

guide to warman now available

The annual guide to the City of Warman is now available in print and online at warman.ca.

The guide was delivered to Warman households last week. It contains information on area businesses, schools, recreational facilities, community organizations as well as a brief summary of the history of Warman.

o new middle years school in Warman; o construction has begun on four new elementary schools in both Warman and Martensville (two public and two Catholic).

Unprecedented investment in your municipalities: o Tripling of municipal revenue sharing for municipalities since 2007.

That’s over an extra $1 million per year for each of Warman and Martensville.

That’s over $340 million in capital infrastructure investment (2007-2019) – just in this constituency!

Essential oils being reclaimed as therapeutic for today

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Essential oils are making a comeback. What is old is new again.

The effective use of essential oils has a long history that predates the use of pharmaceuticals. That’s the message Sheri Kroeker delivered at the Dalmeny Library recently.

Over 20 people gathered at the library on February 29 not just to learn about the oils, but to smell them and try them. Essential oils are highly concentrated and a single drop goes a long way.

Kroeker began by discussing the effectiveness of the oils, and then traced some of their history.

Back in the day, it was the Egyptians who presented the first documented use of aromatherapy and herbs in cosmetics and as well as medicinally. Scroll back to 1500 BC and you’ll discover hundreds of herbal prescriptions and remedies. Ditto for China and India around that time.

“Much of what we consider alternative therapy is really actually original medicine,” said Kroeker. “Fast forward a couple thousand years and the Greek physician Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, documented the effects of some 300 plants include thyme, saffron marjoram, cumin and peppermint.”

Kroeker added that the Bible itself mentions 33 different oil species and has over 500 references to essential oils and their plants.

Complimentary Zyto scans were offered during the presentation. Zyto technolo-

of something can bring up a memory or trigger powerful feelings. Diffusion of essential oils evokes the sense of smell and can be effective.

“The limbic lobe can also directly activate the hypo-

$4 .00 OFF *

thalamus which controls hunger, fatigue, sleep, thirst, among many other things.”

Essential oils are considered an attractive option because they are sourced from the natural world.

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Abe Wall gets a Zyto scan with the help of presenter Sheri Kroeker during an Essential Oils informational evening at the Dalmeny Library. Zyto technology reads the electrical conductivity of your skin to inform you of what oils your body would best respond to. gy measures your galvanic skin response. The technology is the same as what is used in lie detector tests. All tissues of your body have the ability to conduct electricity through your skin.

“The Zyto compass measures fluctuations in the electrical conductivity of your skin and compares them to digital signatures in the system, in this case essential oils,” said Kroeker. The compass then reads them again to determine your body’s preference for a specific essential oil. The scan tells you which oils your body will best respond to, to bring it into balance.

The reading will change depending on the day and what is current for your body.

The scan produces an emailed report of the oils your body prefers, along with detailed information on their benefits and use.

One of Kroeker’s favourites is an oil called “Thieves.”

“It was inspired by the legend of four 15th century French thieves who formulated this special combination to douse themselves with while robbing the dead and dying during the plague,” she said. These thieves never caught the plague and the story goes that their knowledge and use of herbs and oils protected them.

The oils can be taken topically or diffused. You can take several oils at once and not be adversely affected.

New Children’s Discovery Museum: kids won’t want to leave

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Saskatoon’s proposed new Children’s Discovery Museum (CDM) promises to be a popular destination. Kids from sundry locations will flock to its doors. Once inside, word is, they won’t want to leave.

“There’s going to be a beautiful northern lights exhibit, a kid-sized city called ‘Toon Town,’ a unique climber, and ‘Subterranea,’ which goes a bit to our mining heritage in the province,” said Robin Chapman, co-chair of the capital campaign. “There will be arts spaces and science and engineering spaces. Those will be some of the permanent exhibits.”

Chapman says parents will be impressed with exhibits that accommodate kids of different ages. The climbing area will have ‘tot spots’ where mom and dad can sit with the younger children and still be in the same area where an older child might be playing on an exhibit.

The CDM recently garnered significant financial backing from PotashCorp, providing a major boost to the project.

“We are very happy to have PotashCorp’s support for our move and expansion into the Mendel building,” said Erica Bird, longtime CDM board member and co-chair of the capital campaign. “The $2.5 million represents a significant portion of our $10 million goal and will go a long

The donation gives PotashCorp naming rights for the museum, information that will be forthcoming. Bird says Potash Corp has always supported many great community initiatives in Saskatchewan and the CDM is happy to take their place within that legacy.

One part of the Mendel building will remain unchanged and that is the conservatory. Bird anticipates that the CDM will be a welcome diversion in winter and with PotashCorp Playland across the street, it will be an amazing hub, attracting summer traffic as well.

Designs for the new venue are well underway. Af-

ter vetting proposals from 14 international design firms, the board settled on Argyle Design out of Brooklyn. Argyle’s considerable experience in the field, particularly with children’s museums, propelled them to the top of the list. The CDM will be Argyle’s first project in Canada.

Argyle engaged in an extensive consultation process, meeting with stakeholders, educators and special interest groups before presenting their design proposals. For a preview visit museumforkids.sk.ca.

The goal of the CDM capital campaign is to raise $10 million. “We have now secured about 40% of the funding,” said Bird. The capital campaign is located at kidapproved.ca

By the time symptoms of kidney disease show up, it’s almost too late...

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca When it comes to kidney disease, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Because, frankly, there is no cure.

“Prevention is the best way to slow the growing incidence of kidney disease,” according to Crystal Gharini, health educator with the Saskatoon Health Region’s (SHR) Chronic Kidney Disease Outreach Program. “There are five stages of kidney disease. But unfortunately, the symptoms don’t start to show up until the late stages; and by then your kidneys are only functioning at about 30 per cent capacity.

“There is no cure. The only option at that point is some form of treatment including dialysis, or a complete kidney transplant.”

An estimated one in 10 Canadians have some form of kidney disease, according

to the Kidney Foundation of Canada; and millions more are at risk because they don’t understand the causes, signs and symptoms of the disease. During the month of March, local health authorities and the Kidney Foundation are working to raise awareness of Chronic Kidney Disease and are encouraging Canadians to reduce their risk of contracting the life-threatening illness.

In an interview on Wednesday, March 2, Gharini said while kidney disease can hit anyone at any age, including children, the risks increase with age. The Kidney Foundation estimates that over half of newly diagnosed patients were age 65 or older.

One of the biggest risk factors, she said, is diabetes.

“People with diabetes, and those with high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, or who have had a stroke, are at high risk,” she said.

Other risk factors include a family history of the disease, and being of Aboriginal, Hispanic, Asian or African descent.

She said the kidneys have the job of cleaning out a person’s blood, creating urine, balancing minerals such as phosphorus, sodium and potassium in the body, and making red blood cells.

Symptoms of late-stage kidney disease include passing less urine or having trouble urinating, loss of appetite or weight, constant itching all over the body, fatigue, trouble concentrating, unexplained shortness of breath and muscle cramps at night.

“The seven golden rules of kidney health include: leading an active lifestyle, controlling blood sugar levels; monitoring blood pressure; eating healthy, keeping your weight in check; avoiding smoking; and being careful when taking prescribed medications,” said Gharini.

The SHR Chronic Kidney Outreach Program’s resource centre, staffed by Gharini and Nurse Clinician Carmen Berglund provides information to communities throughout central and northern Saskatchewan.

“Our mission is to raise awareness and educate people about kidney health and risk factors,” said Gharini. “We work closely with partner organizations in every community to promote healthy lifestyle choices.”

Educational booths designed to answer questions about kidney disease are slated to be set up at Royal University Hospital on March 9; St. Paul’s Hospital on March 10 and City Hospital on March 11.

Gharini said a self-assessment tool to help people determine their risk for kidney disease is available online at www.kidney.ca .

dalmeny atom sabres win league championship

The Dalmeny Atom Sabres finished off an undefeated season by winning the Sask Valley Minor Hockey League championship on Thursday, March 3. The Sabres went 31 straight games with no losses. The hard working team also conquered at four tournaments this season including wins at Melville, Moose Jaw, Vanscoy and their home tournament. Dedicated coaches provided a positive environment where each child grew as a person and player through hard work, sportsmanship, teamwork and passion. The 14 boys adhered to the team’s motto of “effort and attitude” at each and every practice, game and tournament and rightly deserve their well earned success. The team includes: (Back row, left to right) Cory Ritcher, Chris Pearton, Dave Perrin, Quincy Adrian (Middle row) Ayden Doerksen, Josh Werner, Brett Wiebe, Thomas Woodhouse, Easton Adrian, Wyatt Wurtz, Tarron Sabadash (Front row) Mason Ritcher, Blake Pearton, Ty Wiebe, Harcus Peterson, Dex Bourrett (Goalies) Walker Skibinsky, Noah Perrin (Photo submitted by Debbie Woodhouse, the team’s biggest fan)
