Blanket coverage TERRY PUGH| CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
Anne Peters uses her sewing machine to stitch a patchwork quilt together during a work bee at the Osler Mennonite Church recently. For more than 50 years, volunteers at the church have been making blankets to send overseas through the Mennonite Central Committee to help victims of war, famine and natural disasters. The volunteers make about 100 blankets during a week-long work bee in the spring and another 100 blankets every fall. Story on page 14.

Provincial number for controlled burns now takes in North Corman Park
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Residents of North Corman Park looking to do a controlled burn are urged to call it in ahead of time to a designated provinciallyrun phone line. “Residents should call the Controlled Burn Number at 1-866-404-4911 and give details of the controlled burn in advance of setting the fire,” said Lieutenant Joanne Elder of Dalmeny Fire Rescue (DFR). “This is a provincial phone number that has been in place for some time, but it is new to some areas of North Corman Park, and residents should be aware of this.” Until last month, residents of many parts of North Corman Park phoned the RM of Corman Park office to notify the RM and nearby fire departments of their controlled
burn. But earlier this year, MD Ambulance turned over responsibility for dispatching fire-related calls to the Saskatoon Fire Department. MD Ambulance dispatch still does medicalrelated and motor vehicle collisions. The RM of Corman Park website states: “Any landowner planning to have a controlled burn on their property should call the provincial Controlled Burn Number at 1-866-404-4911. “If you are having a controlled burn in an area that another urban fire department would respond to, the Controlled Burn Office will advise the proper department of the date, time and location of the burn.” Elder said landowners should take precautions to ensure their controlled burns don’t get out of hand. “In the spring the weath-
er is very unpredictable,” she said. “There’s a lot of dry grass on the surface, but underneath that top layer the ground is still very wet, and it’s difficult for firefighters to get into fields and wooded areas. “The wind can also pick up really quickly or change direction suddenly, so people should always be mindful of weather conditions at all times and keep a close eye on their fire.” Elder said landowners should also have a water source available close at hand to extinguish the fire if necessary. “A cultivator is a good idea as well, to do a fire break around the area where you’re burning,” she said. The RM of Corman Park fire protection bylaw states that property owners are responsible for paying the cost of fire suppression on their property. This is the
additional cost of the fire trucks and material used to fight grass and brush fires, which can be as high as $20,000. If a controlled burn has not been reported, the landowner could face a substantial fire invoice if a well-meaning passerby calls in a fire report. The RM of Corman Park has a Wildfire and Grassfire preparation booklet available on its website (www.cormanpark.ca) in PDF format. Corman Park has fire service agreements with the City of Saskatoon and the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association to provide fire protection throughout the municipality. The North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association is a mutual assistance organization that includes the Langham, Dalmeny, Martensville, Warman and Osler fire departments.

Garage destroyed by fire in Dalmeny
Fertuck’s disappearance now treated as a homicide
By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The investigation into the disappearance of Sheree Fertuck is now deemed a homicide investigation. The 51-year-old Kenaston woman has been missing since December 7, 2015. Fertuck was last seen on her farmyard east of Kenaston. RCMP Staff Sgt. Murray Chamberlin, Commander of the Regina Major Crimes Unit involved in this investigation, reported from the Saskatoon headquarters that an intensive search for Fertuck’s remains in the Kenaston area – and beyond – will commence on Wednesday, April 13. Just over four months have passed since the RCMP began their investigation and in that time, no banking activity by Sheree has been detected, no use of her passport or cellphone, no activity on her hospital card, and Sheree has not made any contact with family during this time. This out-of-character behaviour led the RCMP to conclude that
“We miss her so much,” said Juliann Sorotski, Sheree’s mother, at a Monday press conference Fertuck has met with foul play. “Our mission is to find Sheree and bring her home,” said Chamberlin. Chamberlin added that in addition to community organized searches to date, multiple RCMP units including police dogs, de-
tachments, search and rescue and underwater recovery have been engaged in the ongoing search efforts. These efforts were bolstered by civilian air and land searches. In the coming days, RCMP will search specific areas highlighted by their ongoing investigation, involving multiple specialized units. Landowners will be notified but the RCMP is not requesting any public assistance at this time. Juliann Sorotski was present at the press release and said that family was the most important thing to Sheree. “People who knew her, knew she loved her dog and was a strong, hard-working and kind person. Sheree always took time to stop and talk to people. She knew everyone in the area and this is reflected in the numbers that came out to search for her.” Sorotski added that the family has been overwhelmed by the support they have received and continue to receive.
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A fire that completely destroyed a detached garage in Dalmeny has been determined to have been accidentally caused. The fire began shortly before midnight on Tuesday, April 5. Numerous people, including neighbours and a passer-by, called 911 and alerted the homeowners. Dalmeny Fire Rescue (DFR) crews received the call at 11:51 p.m., according to DFR information officer Lieutenant Joanne Elder. In a phone interview, Elder said the garage, located on Wakefield Avenue, was “fully engulfed” in flames by the time fire crews arrived. Fifteen firefighters worked to douse the flames and protect neighbouring homes, said Elder. “The fire was put out in about fifteen minutes,” she said. “Fortunately, there were no injuries, and there was no damage to any nearby buildings. “But the garage was completely destroyed. There were two vehicles in the structure, and they were both destroyed as well.” Elder said the wind was light, and that helped firefighters contain the blaze and knock the fire down using water and foam. “It was a typical garage fire,” said Elder. “There were no real surprises in terms of containing and extinguishing the blaze. “It was very traumatic for the homeowners, who suffered considerable property damage, but again, it was fortunate that no one was hurt.” Elder said there were two propane tanks in the garage, and both of them exploded prior to firefighters arriving on scene. “There were some pretty big bangs,” she said. “It’s likely that woke some people up.” Elder noted that all fires are investigated as a matter of course. The cause of the fire was determined to be accidental, she said.

Music conference ‘resonates’ with Prairie Spirit students
Prairie Spirit School Division is hosting an innovative music conference for students on April 14 and 15. This is the second year for the Resonate Student Music Conference. Over 230 students are registered for the conference this year, including approximately 20 students from outside the school division. There will be 18 different Prairie Spirit schools represented at the conference. The conference has been designed to encourage students in grades 7 through 12 to become more engaged in music. “Our goal is to engage students in music learning and musical skill development,” said Kendra Worman, Music Support Facilitator for Prairie Spirit School Division. “As a result, we hope our students will be more engaged in school and will contribute to the growth and development of music education around the province.” Because the conference is designed for students and offers a wide variety of musical genres, it is a unique event in the province, she
Housing starts decline in March
Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 2,291 units in March compared to 2,340 in February, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of total housing starts. The overall trend in housing starts has been below the 3,000 level since April 2015, as local builders have continued to navigate weaker economic conditions and competition from a well-supplied resale market,” said Goodson Mwale, CMHC’s Senior Market Analyst for Saskatchewan. CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. The stand-alone monthly SAAR was 1,522 units in March, down from 2,125 in February. While both single-detached and multi-family starts contributed to the reduction in overall actual housing starts in March, the decline was most pronounced among multiples where only 50 units were initiated, compared to 123 in the same month one year prior.
added. This year, the conference has been organized as a day-long learning event for students on Thursday, April 14 or Friday, April 15 at the Salvation Army Camp at Beaver Creek. The conference offers students the opportunity to choose their sessions from a variety of options, based on their musical interests. These sessions will be presented by music industry professionals and will be designed for students with a range of ability and knowledge. Session topics include: song writing, guitar, drum-
ming, music recording technology, instrument repair, hip hop, and many others. Some of the presenters will provide keynote performances and stories from their musical careers. A day-long professional development opportunity for music teachers has been added to the Resonate schedule this year. On Wednesday, April 13, music specialists and classroom teachers from around the province will come together to learn more about leading and facilitating music in their classrooms and schools.

PSSD approves 2016-17 calendar The Prairie Spirit Board of Education formally approved the calendar for the 2016/17 school year at its regular Board meeting on Monday, April 4. “We believe the 2016/17 calendar will maintain our focus on student learning while also supporting students, staff members and families,” said Larry Pavloff, Board Chair. Teachers will begin the school year on Monday, August 29. Students will start on Thursday, September 1, prior to Labour Day, as determined by the Ministry of Education. Each year, the Prairie
Spirit school year calendar is created through a collaborative process including input from the Board of Education, Division administration, teaching staff, out-of-scope support staff, unionized support staff and parents. The Division’s Calendar Committee produced two calendar options and invited all staff to vote for their preferred calendar option. The results of this vote were shared with the Board. The Ministry of Education requires that all school divisions publish their school calendars by May 1 each year.

Ethel Quiring: Storyteller,
poet and glamour girl By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca There’s a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ about Ethel Quiring. Still glamorous at 75, the long-time Dalmeny resident has become an accomplished storyteller and poet. Recently she showcased her speech arts skills at the Twin Rivers Music Festival (TRMF) in Dalmeny. Her rendition of “The Three Little Pigs and the Somewhat Bad Wolf” in the Traditional Story Telling category was comical. Growing up around people who knew how to tell a story and enjoy some good humour rubbed off on Ethel. She was also inspired by kids at the Prairie View School when she worked there as an assistant to the Special Education teacher. “I enjoyed the storytelling with the kindergarten kids and I worked extensively with grade six students in Language Arts. Also, my son is a cowboy poet. And I felt, why don’t I pursue something like that?” she said. Quiring presented one of her own poetry compositions at the TRMF as well. There were early signs she would excel at speech arts. In grade 11 she won a speaking contest in Hepburn and competed in the finals at the Rosthern Town Hall. “I find a real satisfaction in going out and presenting my story and my own compositions in poetry,” she said. Her performances are inspiring to others. While there may not be many places to indulge in speech arts, she says that genre at the TRMF has increased a lot, from maybe three or four participants to having to add more sessions. The adjudicator at TRMF thanked Quiring for coming and setting a fine example for younger performers, and stated Quiring was entertaining young and old alike. Quiring’s granddaughter placed well in the festival and loved winning at the same festival as her grandma. Quiring served as a correspondent for the Valley News in Rosthern for twelve years and worked as a reflexologist for 21 years. She’s also spoken to a lot of ladies groups in the past and more recently, in Saskatoon, Hepburn, Dalmeny and Waldheim. “I also taught Glamour and the Hostess at ladies’ spring and summer conventions and table setting rules, to the younger generation in Dalmeny once a week. That was something I really enjoyed.” One of her favourite topics to speak on is living a positive lifestyle, which she maintains is “huge.” For her, that means erasing some of the negativity that might show up around her. “If I can just say, ‘no that’s not a part of me, I don’t want any of that,’ that’s where a positive lifestyle comes in,” she said. It also comes from peo-

Ethel Quiring participated in the Twin Rivers Music Festival in March, earning high praise from the adjudicator. “When you have the children laughing and engaged, you’ve got all of us.” ple in her life who have encouraged her over many years, whether it was her parents when growing up, people she meets on the street who encourage her to enter the music festival or her doctor, who said to her last month, “Ethel don’t stop what you’re doing. If you have a chance to act for the Barn Playhouse, do it because it will keep you young. And it’s so good for the mind.” “I’ve had a lot of tips of the hat that have really spurred me on to do what I’m doing today. And it’s been very heart-warming,” said Quiring. She is taking her performances on the road now that the music festival is over. She’ll present poetry and story telling to the Dalmeny Seniors Vari-
ety Night, visit a nursing home, the Dalmeny Public Library, as well as some schools. It’s not only a passion, she feels it’s a Godgiven gift. Inspired by the young and the older, Quiring herself is also a tremendous inspiration. As TRMF adjudicator Diane Gryba said to her, “When you have the children laughing and engaged, you’ve got all of us.” Quiring says when she was a correspondent for the Valley News she always opened her column with a seasonally adapted version of, “It’s a beautiful spring day. I hope you’re feeling just as bright and happy as the day we are having today.” Same to you, Ethel. Same to you.

Infrastructure a small share of federal deficit
COMMENTARY
By CHARLES LAMMAM and HUGH MACINTYRE The Fraser Institute Distributed by Troy Media A major theme in the lead-up to the recent federal budget was a commitment to increased infrastructure spending. The Liberals gave the impression that infrastructure would be a key driver of their deficit spending and that such spending would help drive long-term economic growth. Yet it turns out infrastructure spending is a surprisingly small share of the projected deficit for 2016/17. Moreover, claims that the deficit will drive future economic growth are dubious. While the Liberals plan to ramp up spending on infrastructure by almost $60 billion over the next decade, little of this money will be spent in the current fiscal year. According to Annex 2 of the budget, the government is planning approximately $4 billion in new infrastructure spending in 2016/17. That represents just 13.5per cent of the $29.4 billion deficit. Put differently, $25.4 billion of the deficit cannot be attributed to new infrastructure spending. A large portion of the increase in program spending for 2016/17 - and thus the deficit is due to increases in direct transfers to persons in the form of EI, children, and elderly benefits, which together are set to increase by $8.3 billion this year, more than double the new infrastructure spending. It’s difficult to see how this type of spending will meaningfully contribute to future economic growth. Even within the $4 billion envelope marked as new infrastructure spending, it’s hard to see how much of the planned expenditures will in fact foster future economic growth. In principle, as the budget states, “by making it easier to move people and products, well-planned infrastructure can deliver sustained economic growth for years to come.”Infrastructure in the form of improved roads, highways, and bridges can typically work to that end. And yet, of the $4 billion being spent in 2016/17, only $1.6 billion is being spent on public transit and other municipal infrastructure (see table below). On the other hand, $1.2 billion is being spent on federal infrastructure, with a large portion for government buildings and properties, and parks and museums. Another $192 million is being spent on cultural, recreational, and other infrastructure. Although some Canadians might welcome such initiatives, it’s unlikely that upgraded government offices or new community centres will spur long-term economic growth. Moreover, as our colleagues recently pointed out, future infrastructure spending is set to take a similar pattern. Most of the $11.9 billion in spending characterized as new “infrastructure” over the five years outlined in budget is not going towards improving key infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and highways. Throughout the budget, the government repeated rhetoric about building a prosperous economic future for the middle class and for Canada as a whole. The reality is that the government has dug a $29.4 billion dollar hole that does little to invest in future economic growth.

Brad Wall’s dynasty rests on rural foundation The truth be told, Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party no longer leans on massive rural wins to secure large majority governments. Excluding the two northern seats (one of which was Cumberland, where the Sask. Party gave the NDP a run for its money) the NDP only won eight of the city seats in Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert and Moose Jaw. This is only one more seat than the NDP won in 2011, meaning the Sask. Party now clearly dominates the cities as well, where it won 24 seats in last Monday’s election. But the reality is that rural Saskatchewan remains the bedrock of what should now be described as the Brad Wall/Sask. Party political dynasty in this province. Consider how impenetrable rural Saskatchewan was for any other party last Monday. Of the 27 rural seats; all were won by the Sask. Party candidates; 21 of them were won by a margin of 50 percentage points or better. In other words, Sask. Party candidates could have literally tossed out half of all

Provincial Politics
votes cast; all cast on their behalf; and still have won. Here’s another way of looking at it: The “poorest” performance by an elected Sask. Party rural candidate was by Herb Cox who took 60.7 per cent of the vote; a full 28.8 percentage points ahead of his nearest NDP rival. That was as bad as it got for the Sask. Party in rural Saskatchewan. In fact, only Glen Hart in Last Mountain Touchwood (62.1 per cent of the popular vote; 39.2 percentage points ahead), Delbert Kirsch in Batoche (65 per cent popular vote; 30.4 percentage points ahead), Terry Dennis in Canora-Pelly (67.5 per cent popular vote; 46.9 percentage points ahead), Don McMorris in Indian HeadMilestone (67.6 per cent; 43.5 percentage points ahead), and, surprisingly, Bill Boyd in Kindersley (67.8 per cent; 50.1 per cent ahead of independent and former Sask. Party MLA Jason Dearborn)

Dynasty? Some might take umbrage with throwing around such terms after a mere eight years and three election wins. But given the magnitude of these wins in rural Saskatchewan, is there any doubt the Sask. Party will remain in power for a very long time?

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.

New playground planned for Valley Christian Academy By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Younger students at Valley Christian Academy (VCA) in Osler are “very excited” about getting a new playground in a couple of weeks, according to VCA Principal Syd Laskowski. “Definitely, the kids are pumped,” said Laskowksi in an interview at the school on Friday, April 8. “It’s something that’s long overdue.” The school community raised over $100,000 to pay for a state-of-the-art playground, slated to be installed in late April or early May, said Laskowksi. The playground equipment was manufactured in Ontario and is distributed by First Stop Playgrounds of Humboldt. Laskowski said the supplier has done several projects in the school division over the past few years. The playground will be built by volunteers under the supervision of two certified installers from First Stop. Laskowski said the VCA board made a decision last fall to purchase and install a new playground. The goal was to have it in place by this spring. “When the idea was first floated I thought we could get a pretty good playground for about $40,000,” said Laskowski. “But it became clear early on that they’re a lot more expensive. So we had to look at some serious fundraising.” The school’s Junior Student Representative Council (SRC) had already raised $14,000 over several years of selling chocolates. That nest egg was bolstered by the school’s annual fall supper last September, which raised $28,000. Laskowski said the school then applied for two community grants. A total of $9,028 was provided by Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund through the RM of Corman Park; and $15,000 was donated by Richardson Pioneer Limited and its parent company, Richardson International Limited. Laskowski said he wasn’t initially aware that grants for sport, culture and recreation were available from

Saskatchewan Lotteries through the RM of Corman Park. “Henry Janzen told me about that one,” he said. “We were very fortunate to be approved.” The donation from Richardson Pioneer was also appreciated, said Laskowski. “I coach my daughter’s softball team in Martensville, along with Ed Petit, who also happens to be the manager of the Carlton Crossing Richardson Pioneer Elevator,” said Laskowski. “I called Ed and asked about the company’s donation program and he sent me the application. We applied and received $15,000.” Laskowski said another $37,000 was raised through donations by local businesses and individuals in the VCA community. “A lot of people in our community own their own businesses, and they were very supportive of this venture,” said Laskowski. Having a little extra in the kitty allowed the school to have additional ground preparations and a perimeter around the playground, said Laskowski. “The kids deserve a new playground,” he said. “The old one was built in the early 1990s and it doesn’t meet modern standards. This one was designed with help from the students and parents, so it’s exactly what they want.”

Warman adopts property tax bylaw
Martensville joins South Sask River watershed stewards association By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The City of Martensville is adding its voice to efforts aimed at keeping the South Saskatchewan River watershed healthy. Martensville City Council voted at its regular meeting on Tuesday, April 5 to commit $1,000 for an annual membership in the South Saskatchewan River Watershed Stewards Inc. (SSRWSI). Founded in 2007, the SSRWSI’s mission is to protect the beauty, diversity and integrity of the watershed while encouraging environmentally sustainable economic growth and cultural activities. While Martensville is several kilometers away from the river itself, the community is part of the Opimihaw Creek drainage basin, which flows into the South Saskatchewan. Martensville, like most other communities in the region, receives treated water from Saskatoon through a provincially-owned pipeline. Martensville is also in the final stages of an agreement with the City of Saskatoon to operate a joint waste-water treatment system. The SSRWSI currently has several ongoing programs focusing on water quality protection and preventing the spread of invasive species. The spread of Zebra Mussels and Quagga Mussels is a priority for the organization. Once introduced into a waterway, they are virtually impossible to eradicate. They could cost Saskatchewan millions of dollars annually by damaging water-based infrastructure.

Value, pace of construction permits declines in 2016 By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The number and value of building permits in Warman has seen a “significant drop” in the first three months of 2016 compared to a year earlier, according to Warman Planning Manager Brad Toth. In a report to Warman City Council on Monday, April 11, Toth said the decrease is consistent with the rest of the Saskatoon region. But, he added, it’s not as bad as it first appears. “We continue to see development,” he said. “It’s just at a much slower pace than previous years.” Between January 1 and
April 5, 2016, Warman issued three commercial building permits for a total value of $26,000. A total of 20 single and multi-family dwelling permits were issued for a combined total value of $5,286,200. Residential improvements accounted for 57 permits with a total value of $1,238,300. The total combined value of the 80 permits issued so far in 2016 is $6,549,500. During the same period a year ago, the city issued two commercial building permits worth $120,000; 41 single and multi-family dwelling permits worth $11,294,100; and 66 residen-
tial improvement permits worth a combined value of $1,753,000. Altogether, the first three months of 2015 in Warman saw 109 permits worth a total of $13,167,100.
MARTENSVILLE PERMITS
During the first three months of 2016, the City of Martensville issued a total of 72 building permits worth a combined value of $5,516,422. This included eight single-family dwellings, 16 multi-family dwellings, 25 residential additions and improvements, three commercial buildings and 20 non-categorized permits.
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Warman City Council gave third and final reading to a bylaw setting property tax rates at its regular meeting on Monday, April 11. The tax rates were outlined in the 2016 municipal budget, which was passed by council at a meeting on Monday, December 14, 2015. The city has set the general municipal levy at 6.73 mills; with a commercial municipal mill rate factor of 1.19 (the equivalent of 8.0087 mills). According to Warman Finance Manager Brett Ferguson, the increase in the municipal mill rate for residential property translates into an average increase of 2.69 per cent for residential properties and 2.93 per cent for commercial properties. The education portion of property tax has been set at 2.67 mills for agricultural property; 5.03 mills for residential property; and 8.28 mills for commercial and industrial property. The bylaw also sets the base tax at $150 per property for agricultural, residential and multi-residential land; $350 for residential and multi-residential improvements; $300 for commercial, industrial, railways and pipeline land; $500 for residential, multi-residential and commercial or industrial improvements (including railways and pipelines); and $800 for commercial, industrial, railways and pipeline property.
COLLEGE GRADING

recreational facilities. Students enrolled in the Heavy Equipment Operator Program (HEOP) at GPC participate in an actual work assignment. In exchange for a $10,000 donation and a further $10,000 to cover the cost of diesel fuel for the machines, the students in the HEOP course will grade land in Prairie Oasis Park in preparation for construction of ball diamonds, outdoor skating rink and park shore line. The existing dirt pile adjacent to the Warman Skate Park will be shaped to create a toboggan hill. The work will be done by students during the month of May.
REZONING IN WORKS
Warman City Council is considering a subdivision request by Avatex Development to subdivide a 3.89acre parcel of land from its Stonegate Commercial shopping complex at the north end of Centennial Boulevard. The parcel would be designated for apartment rental units and would be rezoned from C1 to R3. The intent is to create a transition residential zone separating the commercial development from lower-density residential land to the east of the site. Council approved first reading of a bylaw for rezoning. A public hearing prior to second and third readings is scheduled for a future council meeting.
BYLAW ENFORCEMENT
With warmer weather on the horizon, residents are hauling out their RVs in anticipation of camping season. But they need to ensure they don’t leave them parked on the street too long, according to Warman Bylaw Officer Wade Eberle. In his report to council, CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Iron Mountain challenges Warman Fire Rescue responds to 75 calls for service so far in 2016 city’s stance on lawsuit
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A civil lawsuit launched late last year by Iron Mountain Construction against the City of Warman could end up in court if no agreement is reached during mediation. David Samuel of CJC and Company LLP, the lawyer for Iron Mountain, said he was disappointed in the city’s response to the company’s statement of claim. The city’s legal counsel, Candice Grant of Robertson Stromberg LLP, stated in an email on March 31 that the city’s position is that the lawsuit was without merit. “We expected much better from the city, and we trusted them to honour my client’s agreement,” said Samuel in an e-mail on Monday, April 11. “That’s why Iron Mountain did the emergency work on a handshake.” Iron Mountain Construction submitted a statement of claim to the Court of Queen’s Bench on December
14, 2015 alleging non-payment for work done on a waterline connection to a fire hydrant on Central Street in December, 2014 and March, 2015. The allegations, which have not been proven in court, state that a loss of water pressure in March, 2015 was due to a faulty cityowned connection. Adam Hartle, consultant with Iron Mountain and Associated Companies, said in an e-mail on April 11 it is the company’s position that there were deficiencies in the original connection. “Iron Mountain noticed there were no thrust blocks to stop the pipes from moving,” said Hartle. “There were also improper thrust restraints on the pipe with no nuts clamping the back side of the connection.” Hartle said an independent engineer agreed with the company’s assessment. He added that because the city could not shut off the water in December, the repair could not be done prop-
erly the first time. “The second time we went back into that problem area we fixed it,” said Hartle. “We couldn’t do it properly the first time because the city didn’t and couldn’t shut the water off in December. And we attached our line properly and carried on assuming the city would have it repaired.” Hartle said his company spent two weeks digging up and inspecting lines in an effort to trace the problem of a lack of water pressure. He explained the problem appeared to be at the connection and the company “proceeded to put in the proper restraints and thrust blocks so our job could pass pressure testing.” He noted the developer “had a lot of money tied up due to not getting pressurized.” Pressure was eventually restored and the lines passed the pressure testing. The parties are slated to go into a mediation process later this month.
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Warman Fire Rescue responded to 75 calls in the first three months of 2016. In his report to Warman City Council on Monday, April 11, Warman Fire Chief Russ Austin said 55 of those calls were for medical assistance, while 20 were fire-related and motor vehicle collisions.
The total does not include the massive structure fire at Shercom Industries in North Corman Park in early April. Austin said WFR members are receiving training on the new ladder truck as well as instruction from CN Rail on responses to derailments or leaks of hazardous goods from rail cars. Warman Fire Rescue is
also working with the city planning department to review guidelines for streets in high-density housing areas and residential cul-desacs. Austin said streets and cul-de-sacs are not large enough for the equipment used by WFR. He noted that the City of Saskatoon has a design model that may be appropriate for Warman.

Warman parking bylaw being enforced
Continued from page 19 Eberle said he issued a total of eight fines for parking related infractions in March. He said he will continue to educate the public about city parking bylaws. Parking of vehicles and trailers in the
same spot is limited to 48 hours on streets within the city limits. Eberle said animal control measures are also being undertaken. Licenses for dogs and cats are $25 and are good for the animals life-
time. A fox has once again set up housekeeping in the Warman Cemetery. This is a recurring problem and humane traps have been set to catch the animal before she has her litter of pups.

‘DUST’ WINS REGIONALS
Hanley production heading to provincials
By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Immensely creative, the play, “Dust” opens powerfully with a coughing scene and someone gasping, “I can’t breathe.” The Hanley Composite School (HCS) production puts us smack in the middle of the 1930s and Great Depression. At that time, farmers had insufficient knowledge of the plains, and their extensive deep plowing of virgin topsoil was a factor in creating the ‘dust bowl,’ and consequently, the coughing. Students brought the mood of the era to life through imaginative sound effects and emotionally impactful performances on April 6 and 7. Playwright, Leanne Griffin, remembers her grandmother talking about the harsh realities of the economic depression and was inspired to write the play. Many people had difficulty coping and were sent to the Weyburn Mental Hospital (WMH). “I was intrigued with the idea of how the Great Depression would be reflected with internal depression,” said Griffin. She researched the institution and discovered WMH was known for some “horrific practices.” A lot of women were sent there. Hannah Fehr plays Sarah, an elderly woman who reminisces about her family’s experiences in 1935 and 1936. As Sarah views photos from the past, those events come to life on stage. Effective sound effects are created through a chorus in the background, reflecting the dominant medium of the era, radio. The sound of water lapping is a repeated theme. At one point, Danny (Hayden
Pitzel) and Nora (Lauren Griffin) walk into the water, probably a pond. When Danny pretends to drown, a panicked Nora ‘dives under’ to look for him and pulls him up. When he goes down again, she’s not going to fall for the same prank twice. But when he doesn’t come up, she goes under to look once again and doesn’t find him. The contrast of the sound of lapping water to the tomb-like sound of being submerged under the water with blue lighting, is effective. “I was intrigued with the idea of how the Great Depression would be reflected with internal depression.” -- Leanne Griffin

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
When Danny dies, grief-stricken Nora (Lauren Griffin) is sent to the Weyburn Mental Hospital and treated to ice baths by Nurse Victoria (Megan Fehr), one of a roster of questionable treatment practices.
Danny really does drown and grief-stricken Nora recedes into an emotionally unreachable place. She is sent to the WMH where she is treated to ice baths and possibly lobotomies and electro-shock therapy. The institute was also a sort of ‘holding tank’ for people in the community who did not fit in. Patients could remain there for 25 years. The play was interspersed with beautifully poignant laments sung by vocal chorus members Kristine Jones Del Socorro and Justine Del Socorro. The production revealed the lack of tolerance of that time for people with mental/emotional problems or who deviated from societal norms. Griffin said the high school group did a comedy last year and some were ready to do something more serious. Griffin has worked at HCS for nine years as a support for special education teachers, a role she fills throughout the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD). But she adds, drama is her biggest passion. Griffin has written 17 plays and won at least 10 times at regionals. Hanley students took their production to the regional competition in Rosetown on the weekend and won in a big way (see sidebar). Griffin co-directed the play with Brandon Hutchinson, while

Dave Carter, coordinator at PSSD, served as technical adviser. “Being at regionals is a great experience for the students,” said Griffin. “They watch a lot of plays, get to talk with students from other regions and hear suggestions from adjudicators. It teaches them a lot.” The biggest challenge at regionals is the tech rehearsals, she said. Students had only an hour and a half to learn a new tech system, plan 60 lighting cues, and 10 minutes to set up the stage. The play had to be performed in 60 minutes, and deductions are made for overages. Having won regionals, the “Dust” cast and crew will be heading to provincials in Regina, May 5, 6 and 7.
DUST wins Best Overall Production It also won a string of other awards including the Shining Star Award (picked by directors for student who the production wouldn’t be the same without): Hannah Fehr; Tech Certificate of Merit for Lighting: Truman Griffin; Tech Certificate of Merit for Costumes: Emily Collis; Acting Certificate of Merit: Hayden Pitzel; Tech Award of Merit for Soundscape: Kristine Jones Del Soccorro, Justine Del Soccorro, Hailey Englot and Maeve Knudsen; Best Stage Manager: Aiden Classen; Best Technical Crew: Aiden Classen, Kirsten Cory, Truman Griffin, Emily Collis, Taylor Lindberg; Best Technical Production: Aiden Classen, Kirsten Cory, Truman Griffin, Emily Collis, Taylor Lindberg; Runner-up to Mary Ellen Burgess Award for Best Actor: Hannah Fehr; Mary Ellen Burgess Award for Best Actor: Lauren Griffin; Runner-up to Best Visual Production: Dust.

Aladdin musical takes centre stage at Osler School
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca An Osler School tradition that began in 1997 is more popular than ever. “All the tickets for our shows sold out in a day and a half,” said Tamara Milnthorp, a teacher at the school and one of three co-directors of this year’s production of Aladdin, slated to run April 1821. “It’s something that our community definitely looks forward to.” The school, with a student population of 289 from Kindergarten to Grade 9, mounts a full-scale musical theatre production every second year. Every student has a part, whether it’s a lead role, a voice in the choir, or helping with sound and lights. In the early years, the school put on a show every year, but it’s since been scaled back because of the amount of work involved. “It takes a lot of teamwork to pull it all together,” added Joanne Banman, a teacher and co-director. (Michelle Lane is also a co-director.) “We’ve done Aladdin once before, back in 2001. My son had a small role in that show, and now he’s a married man with two little girls of his own. So it’s been a while. None of this current crop of students would remember it.” Planning for the production begins in the fall. “We got together as a staff earlier this year and chose a committee to head up the musical,” said Banman. “Then we discussed it

Students at Osler School rehearse the “fire dance” scene from this year’s upcoming production of Aladdin, slated for April 18-21 as a committee and finally settled on Aladdin as our choice for this year. “For most of the kids, this is their first opportunity to be in a big production like this.” Auditions began in mid-January, and by early February the roles were assigned, scripts and song sheets distributed, and the business of rehearsals got underway in earnest.
“The main cast get together every lunch hour to rehearse,” said Milnthorp. “And we also built in a practice period into our school day, so then everybody, whether it was the choir or dancers or drama, costumes or makeup, everybody came together to practice their roles.” The loss of a practice facility at the school made it a little more challenging, but teachers and
staff were used to making do. “We have a pretty small space to work with, so we have to do a lot of improvising,” said Banman. “But it all works out.” Milnthorp said this group of students is “a joy” to work with. “We’re blown away by the talent of these kids. They’re so willing to learn, and some of them are naturals at acting,” she said. “There’s no grumbling, even if
a scene has to be done over and over again, they’ll keep doing it till they get it right. They’re very coachable and enthusiastic.” Volunteers from the community pitch in to help teachers and staff make costumes and scenery. “It’s a real community event,” said Banman. “Everybody looks forward to it. For the teachers, it’s the highlight of the year.” Students from area schools, including Warman, Martensville, Hague and Hepburn are bussed to Osler to take in the show. “We’ve had to add more shows to accommodate everyone,” said Banman. “We also added another dress rehearsal before our real dress rehearsal.” Pat Bodnar, a teacher at the school, has the monumental task of directing a choir of more than 200 little voices made up of Kindergarten to Grade 6 students. It takes almost as much time to get the kids arranged on the risers as it does to get through the songs. “Some of these pieces are actually pretty challenging,” said Bodnar. “It’s taking a lot of practice, but we’re having fun with it too.” Milnthorp said the play also contributes to a stronger sense of community among students at the school. “We see it on the playground at recess,” she said. “The older kids are playing with the younger ones and helping them. The other day a bunch of kids of all ages had organized themselves and were playing ‘Red Rover’. How cool is that?”

Regional drama festival sets stage for student plays By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The cast and crew of Warman High School’s senior drama club have high hopes for their latest production. With a title like, “The Bloody Attack of the Evil Demonic Giraffe Puppet,” the school’s entry in the regional high school drama festival is sure to get people’s attention. It’s a play about a high school student who sets out to make a serious documentary film about social issues. But the classmates he recruits to help on the project provide spectacularly bad advice and the film degenerates into a cheesy slasher flick, with a lot of unintended results. “It’s a comedy,” said Warman High School drama teacher Janet Wilkes, one of the directors of the play. “The kids have had a lot of fun with this one, and the audience will too.” The production is one of nine student plays being mounted during the Saskatchewan Drama Association’s Region 11 Drama Festival, hosted by Warman High School April 14-16. Three Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) high schools are entered, including Warman High School, Clavet Composite School and Walter W. Brown School
in Langham. The other entries include: Saskatoon’s Walter Murray Collegiate and Evan Hardy Collegiate (each with two plays); Davidson School; and Prince Albert’s Carlton Comprehensive Public High School. Clavet’s production, entitled “Property Rites” provides the festival’s opening performance on Thursday, April 14. Warman High School and Walter W. Brown School are both featured on Friday evening, April 15. The festival wraps up on Saturday, April 16 with two performances and an awards ceremony. “The winner of the regional festival goes on to represent the region at the provincial drama festival in Regina in May,” noted Wilkes. “We’re certainly hoping to move on to provincials. Warman has won both regional and provincial competitions in the past, and we’re hoping to continue that tradition this year.” She noted that the two adjudicators chosen to judge the plays are both wellknown local actors who have done a lot of work with student and community productions. Wilkes said many of the students in the senior drama club are veterans, while others are trying their acting chops for the first time

He’s doing well with it.” Brett Rowland, a teacher at the school and a member of the directing team, said

the script was chosen partially for its appeal to students, and partially because it accommodated a large cast. “We have a lot of interest in senior drama this year,” he said. “Putting on a production like this is challeng-
ing, but it also brings kids out of their shell and builds confidence. We’ve seen a lot of growth in all of them. It’s nice to see the progress they make in a short time; as they get to understand the process they start contributing their own suggestions to
make their character more believable.” The drama festival is open to the public. Tickets for each session are $5. “It’s great value and great entertainment,” said Wilkes. “You can see two or three plays in each session.”

Osler volunteers sew up relief shipment By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A group of women from the Osler Mennonite Church are carrying on a prairie tradition dating back more than five decades, The women recently stitched together about 100 blankets to be sent to less fortunate people around the world. The donation by the church is made twice a year; once in the spring and once in the fall; through the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). The women spend about a week putting the blankets together, according to Margaret Dyck, one of the volunteers involved in the project. “It’s something the women in this church have done for at least 50 years,” said Dyck as she took a break from her labours at the church on Thursday, March 17. “It’s very much a Mennonite tradition of giving to the less fortunate, but there’s also another tradition as well. Prairie women have made patchwork quilts for years. So it’s a big part of our heritage and we put a lot of pride into each one.” In addition to donating their labour, church members also chip in cold, hard cash to purchase the materials needed for the blankets The covers, fibrefill and backing are all purchased from the MCC office in Saskatoon, which buys in bulk for churches across the prairies. While most of the blankets use a solid, onepiece cover, others are made from patchwork pieces of cloth hand-stitched together by volunteers over the summer and winter months.
CFGB pledges $1.5 M Over 42,000 people in five countries will benefit from five projects totaling $1.5 million committed by Canadian Foodgrains Bank in March. The projects are being implemented by Foodgrains Bank members ADRA Canada, Mennonite Central Committee Canada, and Presbyterian World Service and Development in collaboration with their local partners. One project, through Foodgrains Bank member ADRA Canada, is helping families in Cambodia improve their nutrition. Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia. Much of the rural population depends on agriculture for their livelihood. Families often struggle with providing healthcare, education and food for their families, and to provide their children with proper nutrition. By the time children are two, almost half show moderate to severe levels of growth stunting, due to poor nutrition. Projects supported by Canadian Foodgrains Bank are undertaken with support from the Government of Canada.
“There are expenses involved, but lots of people make donations,” said Dyck. When it comes time to make the blankets, anywhere from five to 20 volunteers show up each day for a week-long bee at the church. “It’s a nice social event as much as it is a time for working,” said Kathy Braun, one of the volunteers. “We like to get together and it feels good because we know we’re doing something to help people who are less fortunate.” Anne Peters said she looks forward to bringing her sewing machine to the church and putting the blankets together. “We all realize how incredibly wealthy Canada is,” said Peters. “So there’s no reason why we shouldn’t do this.” Dyck said while some volunteers have retired as they age, there are always new, younger people stepping up to take their place. “There is no shortage of wars and natural disasters going on in the world,” she said. “These blankets are most likely going to be sent to refugee camps to help displaced, suffering people. “There’s always a need for blankets because people are always suffering somewhere in the world, and we just want to help out in our own way to ease that suffering.”

Police warn of fraud scheme Saskatoon Police are advising the public of a fraud after two reports were received that are believed to be related. In the first incident, a 91-year-old woman reported that she was contacted via phone by someone claiming to be a bank security officer and was requesting her assistance in catching criminals. The suspect asked the woman to withdraw money from her account and meet him at an undisclosed location. The suspect explained that insurance will cover the withdrawals. In the second reported incident, a 90-year-old woman was contacted by an unknown man alleging to be a bank representative. He claimed there was an issue with her savings account and she owed an undisclosed amount of money. The victim was instructed to withdraw the amount and then meet with the suspect. The suspect is described as being in his 60’s, Caucasian, approximately 6’0” in height with a slim build. Both incidents are being investigated by the SPS Economic Crime Unit.

Realtors recognized for sales achievements
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca When Hallmark Realty amalgamated with Royal LePage last year, Joe Wiebe and Richard Reimer weren’t sure how the change would impact their business. It turned out to be a good move; although they had to change a lot of lawn signs and business cards really fast to stay current. “It was a little hectic when the change was announced,” said Wiebe. “We didn’t have a lot of warning beforehand.” But they didn’t miss a beat as the locally-owned Hallmark logo was replaced with the nationallybranded Royal LePage sign. The realtors took the top two honours when it came to sales for Royal LePage in Saskatchewan in 2015. Wiebe and Reimer were named the Number One and Number Two producers for the year at a Royal LePage gala event in Regina recently. The company has 242 agents in Saskatchewan. Wiebe and Reimer, along with office manager Lori Miller, branded themselves as “The Results Team” two years ago. Wiebe and Reimer, both based in Martensville, do 80 per cent of their business in the region north of Saskatoon. “It’s nice to be recognized, but our objective is always to provide service for our clients,” said Reimer in an interview. “When our clients have success they tell others, and that’s how our business has been able to grow consistently over the years.” Wiebe said while overall economic activity has slowed, the market is still very healthy in this area. “We’ve had a challenged economy in the last couple of years, and we hear talk of a downturn,” said Wiebe. “But we’ve been really blessed. I think last year was our best year ever as a team. This is the fastest growing region in the province, and I think people realize it’s important to have professional support and good counsel when it comes to buying and selling homes and businesses. “It’s the biggest investment of your life to the ‘average Joe’. At the end of the day, professional services is the one area where you shouldn’t compromise. It’s

ents to get a full understanding of their needs and goals. “We do a lot of chats over coffee,” he said. “It’s a proven system and we have a proven track record.”

PLAY BALL!
As a lead-up to baseball season, players from 9 to 14 years old took part in evaluations at the Legends Centre on Wednesday, April 6. The purpose of these evaluations is to group teams by ability to allow a competitive experience, as the players develop their skills no matter what level they are currently at. The Sask Five Giants, formerly the Martensville Minor Baseball Association, is part of the Saskatoon Baseball League and includes players from Martensville, Warman, Dalmeny, Langham and Osler. The season gets underway in early May.

Reigning NLL champions Sask Rush pin down playoff spot The Saskatchewan Rush professional lacrosse team is looking to win back-toback NLL championships. The Rush nailed down a home playoff game despite a disappointing 14-13 loss on Friday, April 8 to the New England Black Wolves at
SaskTel Centre. The Rush play the Colorado Mammoth in Denver on Friday, April 15, with a live broadcast of the game on TSN 2 beginning at 7:30 p.m. The boys in Green and White return to Saskatoon for their last home game of
the regular season on Saturday, April 16 when they host the Colorado Mammoth in a return engagement. That game has been billed as “Fan Appreciation Night.” The last two regular season games for the Rush are on the road: the first against
the Vancouver Stealth on Saturday, April 23, and the last one against the Rochester Knighthawks on Saturday, April 30. The format for the NLL playoffs sees the contenders go through a division semifinal, division final, and
then the Champion’s Cup Final. The top three teams in each division qualify for the playoffs with the first-place team in each division receiving a bye directly into the Division Final. In the west, the Rush is the Number One seeded team, fol-
lowed by Colorado and Calgary. In the east, Toronto is the Number One seed, followed by Rochester and Buffalo. The Rush is already selling season tickets for the 2017 season in addition to 2016 playoff tickets.

Menno Homes of Sask, Christian Horizons amalgamate operations Menno Homes of Sask. Inc. and Christian Horizons jointly announced the amalgamation of their organizations on Wednesday, April 6. Based in Waldheim, Saskatchewan, Menno Homes supports over 50 people with developmental disabilities in 11 homes in Waldheim, Warman and Saskatoon and operates vocational and day program for more than 70 people. Christian Horizons is based in Kitchener, Ontario, supporting people with developmental disabilities in over 200 homes across Ontario and Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, as well as through participation supports, employment supports and supported vacation opportunities. The transition will begin over the coming months, with the legal amalgamation effective July 1, 2016. The new organization will be called Christian Horizons. An open house highlighting the work of Menno Homes and outlining the reasons for the amalgamation was held at the Menno
Homes office in Waldheim on Tuesday, April 12. The documentary, Christian Horizons Jubilee: Building Communities of Belonging was shown. “The amalgamation will help sustain and strengthen the Christian faith within Menno Homes,” said Menno Homes Board Chair Peter Guenther. “Amalgamation will allow us to share resources and increase our expertise in working with person who have exceptional needs. It will also allow us to broaden our services, such as holding a Family Retreat camp in Saskatchewan.” Christian Horizons Board Chair Nigel Wilford said the two organizations will be stronger together as they work toward a common goal of providing the best possible service to those with disabilities. Christian Horizons CEO Janet Nolan said the organization is “thrilled to partner with the good folks of Menno Homes. With our shared faith and shared passion for service, we look forward to building communi-
ties of belonging together.” Menno Homes was founded in Waldheim in the summer of 1963 as a unique home for people with intellectual disabilities. The original project was a Christian ministry of the Mennonite Central Committee and consisted of a single building where more than forty people were supported. In the late 1990s the Menno Home responded to changes in best practice by assisting those living in the home with transitioning to community supports. Today, Menno Homes of Sask. Inc. exists as a non-profit, Christian, charitable organization funded by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Social Services. The agency supports more than 70 individuals in the communities of Waldheim, Saskatoon, Warman, and Martensville. The organization’s supports include 11 group homes and a wide variety of day program options that include recreational programs, woodworking, curb side recycling, two SARCAN depots, golf course maintenance and other volunteer work opportunities.

Charity helps youth take part in Langham art classes By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Three youth from Langham are getting the opportunity to learn the basics of drawing and painting thanks to a grant from a Saskatchewan-based charitable organization. A $900 grant from Creative Kids Saskatchewan was used to purchase art supplies for three young people. The youth will be taking art classes from artist Kris Moffatt at his Langham studio. “The funds will help these three youth have a positive creative experience in the form of drawing and painting classes,” said Moffatt. “Each student will also be supplied with various art materials such as brushes, paints and sketch books for them to keep. Each of the youth faced financial struggles and would otherwise not have been able to afford the art classes and materials.” Creative Kids www.creativekidssask.ca) is the first program of its kind in Canada and is operated by SaskCulture Inc., a communitybased, non-profit cultural organization that began in 2007. It is similar in some ways to the KidSport charity, except that it provides funds to get kids involved in arts and culture, while Kid-

A $900 grant from Creative Kids was used to purchase art supplies to be used in classes in Langham this spring Sport funding goes toward getting kids participating in organized sports. The Creative Kids program connects children and youth to unique, life-changing artistic and cultural experiences in their community. It provides financial support to Saskatchewan families so all kids have an opportunity to participate in creative activities like drama, art, dance, heritage, and music. Creative Kids provided its first grant in 2010, and to date, it has granted over $2 million and helped more than 4,500 applicants in 176
communities across the province. Corporate sponsorships account for over half of the funding given out in grants every year. Moffatt said he learned about the Creative Kids charity when the organization asked him to help out with a fundraiser. Moffatt painted a portrait of wellknown Saskatchewan-born actor Kim Coates, which was raffled off. “They raised nearly $100,000 that evening,” said Moffatt, “and it all went to provide funding for Creative Kids grants. It’s a real worthwhile program.”

PFM Capital is committed to improving all facets of Moody’s Equipment; and looks forward to further developing strong business relationships in the communities in which Moody’s Equipment
operates. “In addition to the change in ownership, there has been a significant change in leadership.
