Playhouse raffle launched for KidSport

Tickets will be going on sale in the coming days and the lucky winner will take home a custom built kids’ playhouse constructed by students at Martensville High School.

The playhouse, constructed at the school, was moved to its promotional site at the A&W in Martensville on Saturday, April 30 by Brad’s Towing. On Monday, May 2, the sponsors of the raffle, together with KidSport and municipal representatives were able to get a closeup look at the structure.

“The playhouse is really a significant piece that the kids have put together and now its going towards kids being able to play sports,” Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence noted during a short presentation. “I love the KidSport motto and I think what is being done here is really a wonderful, wonderful thing.”

Raffle sponsors include the Martensville A&W, the Clark’s Crossing Gazette and Saskatchewan Valley News, Martensville Building & Home Supply, Brad’s Towing and the Martensville Lions Club. Proceeds from ticket sales will be distributed to the Martensville and Warman KidSport organizations to help fund sporting and recreational activities for children who may not otherwise be able to afford to participate.

“I just want to say thanks to (A&W co-owner) Brian Buffin, he’s been a huge part of getting Martensville KidSport off the ground,” stated Angela Reddekopp, recreation program coordinator with the City of Martensville. “We’ve been running for the last few years but it’s really only since Brian’s gotten involved and really pushed it have we seen a lot more exposure, involve-

Two injured in Highway 11 crash at Wanuskewin Road Two people were taken to hospital with undetermined injuries following a collision at Highway 11 and Wanuskewin Road on Monday, May 2.

The incident happened at approximately 3:35 p.m., according to David Nahachewsky, Battalion Chief - Operations for the Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD).

SFD members responded with an engine company from Station 7 and a rescue unit from Station 4.

“A mother and child were the occupants of one of the vehicles. The mother was transported to hospital with undetermined injuries, while the child was not injured.

“The driver of the second vehicle was also transported to hospital with undetermined injuries,” said Nahachewsky.

Ministry proposes temporary closure of approach to Highway 11

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The Ministry of Highways is proposing a temporary closure of an approach to Highway 11 north of Saskatoon, from Range Road 3052. The matter was up for discussion at the RM of Corman Park May 2 meeting, after the Ministry asked council to consider the temporary closure.

A number of civic leaders in the region have gone on record in the past couple of years to say that the intersection of Wanuskewin

Road and Highway 11 is a dangerous one. This initiative is a first step in addressing the matter.

The closure would be temporary, to pilot the impact to traffic operations in advance of a permanent removal of the approach.

“Administratively, we think this is a positive thing because we think cross traffic is the issue that makes this intersection dangerous,” said RM administrator Adam Tittemore. “We do feel that they could take this further but it’s a step in the

right direction.”

The closure of Range Road 3052 (the extension of Wanuskewin Road after crossing the four lanes) would end left turns northbound into Corman Industrial Park. Traffic heading into the city could still make the left turn from Highway 11 onto Wanuskewin Road southbound.

Reeve Judy Harwood said the proposal was discussed briefly with the Ministry of Highways in Blaine Lake last week. The consensus

was, it’s hazardous.

“This is not a final solution but I think it’s a start.

We need a left-hand turn runup lane that’s maybe half a mile,” said Harwood.

Tittemore added that everyone the administration canvassed sees it as a positive thing and cross-traffic has been identified as an issue.

The recommendation to council from administration was to approve the temporary road closure of Highway 11 and Range Road 3052, subject to signage and

notification sent to landowners and business owners affected by the closure.

“There’s acreage owners that will be upset, no doubt about it,” said Harwood.

Councilor Froese-Kooijenga expressed support. “I’m more than happy to approve this recommendation. Any first step to improve that intersection is great.”

The closure is also being considered in preparation for the Saskatoon Freeway project which will realign the highways network in the area and include new

intersections.

A map is available online in the RM Agenda package for May 2, which highlights the changes, with accompanying signage.

The proposal says variable message boards will be put up about a week before the closure to provide advance warning to motorists.

The support of the RM allows the ministry to go ahead with the project as there are significant utilities in the ditch at that location, that will need to be dealt with.

Martensville adds second physician, recruitment ongoing

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A second family physician is slated to begin practising at the Martensville Collective Health and Wellness Clinic starting this month.

Dr. Amanda Walker, who grew up in Borden, is currently working as a locum through the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region. She completed her residency a year ago, and is excited to establish a practice in her home area.

“We’re ecstatic to have her join us,” said Dr. Allison Adamus, who established the clinic with her husband, physiotherapist Trevor Adamus. “She’s from Borden, and she wants to stay in Saskatchewan, so Martensville is a good fit for her. She is as enthusiastic about team-based health care as we are.”

Walker is starting at the clinic part-time on Thursday, May 5 and will be increasing to full-time in the fall. She was recruited to the Martensville clinic through a colleague in the Prince Albert health region.

Adamus said while recruitment of family physicians is a challenge, there has been progress made in recent weeks since an article on the issue appeared in the March 24, 2016 edition of the Clark’s Crossing Gazette.

“Since the article has gone out, we have had a boost in interest,” said Adamus. “The health region recruiter has been generous in her assistance and has brought two physicians to our attention as well as another two physicians who have seen our job posting.”

Firefighters reacted quickly to the scene at Bethel Church and brought the flames under control within minutes of arriving

Disposal truck catches fire, pulls into church parking lot

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Quick thinking by a disposal truck driver rolling down the highway prevented what could have turned into a much worse situation.

Warman Fire Rescue personnel responded to a fire at the Bethel Church parking lot south of Warman at 11:30 a.m. on April 27. The disposal truck pulled off

Highway 11 into the church parking lot due to a fire in the truck’s container.

“The Loraas driver was driving down the highway, saw smoke coming from his unit, and pulled off the road to the first safe spot he could find,” said Russ Austin, Warman Fire Chief.

The church was the first place the driver came across that had a grav-

el parking lot. “He didn’t want to start a grass fire so that was good heads-up thinking on his part,” said Austin. The smallest ember fueled with that highway speed air presented unmitigated risks. Smoke drifting across Highway 11 did not pose a significant visibility problem.

The driver deployed a couple of fire extinguishers

but that strategy didn’t pan out, so he dumped the load on the ground and called 911. The load was fully ablaze as firefighters hosed it down and used long-handled rakes to extinguish the flames.

Austin added the truck seemed minimally damaged and environmental personnel would handle the clean-up.

Art gala supports outdoor classroom

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Students at Aberdeen Composite School recently produced 211 pieces of artwork to help raise money for outdoor classrooms. The collection formed quite a gallery up for silent auction at the school’s second annual “Growing Artists” Art Gala on April 29.

Kindergarten teacher, Leslie Ann Macleod, said a couple of years ago, the Ministry of Education changed the kindergarten curriculum to include more natural environments, encouraging students to be out in nature.

“As a result, the Prairie Spirit School Division had a big push on changing the environment of the classroom,” said Macleod.

The Aberdeen school is built in a square with an inner courtyard, which was under-utilized. Teachers realized it was the ideal spot for an outdoor classroom.

Last year, initial steps were taken to begin to transform the courtyard into a garden.

“We received some general donations around town, and got some discounts from builders. The grade 12s built us our garden boxes,” said Macleod. Other first steps involved creating a butterfly garden, buying picnic tables with umbrellas, a shed and a mini-greenhouse.

But the outdoor classroom area needs more help.

The funds from this year’s art gala will go towards additional development. “We have all these ideas. We’d like to put more of an educa-

Industrial Arts teacher Mark Antymniuk built some frames for the “Growing Artists” Art Gala at Aberdeen Composite School tional focus on it,” said Macleod. “We’d like to have a pond and be able to study that, and a pergola to break up the heat. We have a long ways to go and we don’t have an actual plan written out.”

The assistance of a landscape designer would be welcome, she said. “We want it all to flow. But if we don’t know exactly where the pond should be, we can’t start digging. It would be nice to if donations allowed us to hire someone who can push us in the right direction.”

The space is intended for every age and kids are using it at lunch. Seeds were planted in March and some of those seedlings will be transferred directly from

the greenhouse to the garden boxes.

“We’re very conscious of planting things that we can harvest in fall because we’re not here in summer,” said Macleod. “For the past two years when we come back in fall the kids are just amazed because when we leave in June, everything is really tiny.” The harvest could generate foods like salsa and soup.

The goal of developing a natural classroom environment continues to evolve and the Art Gala plays a significant role, not only in fund-raising, but in bringing parents and community together in an important cause.

This year’s gala sold over 150 tickets at $5 each. In the

Aberdeen school gym, artwork decorated the exterior four walls, while guests sat at tables in the centre and enjoyed desserts made

by Home Economics students. In addition to the silent auction, six pieces were set aside for live auction.

The dedication of students, parents and educators toward the outdoor classroom was apparent.

“It is very rewarding to be part of this. A lot of the kids who maybe struggle sitting in the classroom, you should see them there. They just love it!” said Macleod. It’s like a different part of their personality emerges. It’s a welcome change for all – the acknowledgement that education doesn’t just happen while seated at a desk.

Swim school comes to Canalta Hotel Financial planner makes

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Learning to swim is a valuable and necessary life skill. One-on-one swimming lessons can accelerate skill development and will soon be available at the Canalta Hotel in Martensville.

The Saskatoon Swim School (SSS) has been operating in Saskatoon since September 2014. The company runs lessons in hotel swimming pools at the Parktown, the Hilton and the Hampton Inn, in Stonebridge.

Now they are expanding to Martensville. Saskatoon Swim School owner, Kaylee Kennedy founded the company because skill progression is so much more achievable with a one-on-one approach.

“The city and the public swimming lessons offer group classes so there could be up to 10 children in one class of swimming

lessons,” she said. “And because swimming is such an important life skill, its something that definitely needs to be taught privately to make sure fears are being addressed and certain personalities are adapted to.” Kennedy added that private lessons facilitate the progression of swimming as quickly as possible for children of all ages, and are tailored to whatever the individual might need.

SSS currently teaches a lot of parent-assisted classes that begin at age five months up to two years.

They also teach adults, some of whom find the private setting more comfortable if they happened to miss out on swimming lessons earlier in life. Kennedy figures the average age of their students might be around three years, and says they have close to a 100 per cent success rate.

“Almost every single cli-

ent that has gone through the program left knowing how to swim without a floatation device,” she said. For toddlers especially, that can constitute a major success.

One of the biggest things SSS specializes in is teaching breathing techniques for swimming. “Once you learn to breathe properly with the water, your confidence increases to be able to swim on your own,” said Kennedy.

The SSS program offers three levels of competency that are based on safety and common sense. The beginner level focuses on safety, offering many tips and tricks in a fun environment.

The intermediate level focuses on all four Olympic strokes of the sport, which includes foot turns and dives and distance swimming.

Advanced classes focus on timing yourself and pacing yourself, and incorporate everything from the

intermediate levels and amplifying the techniques into the advanced level using all four strokes.

From there students move on to independent swimming and incorporate what they’ve learned into safety skills.

“One of our competencies in order to pass a certain level is the ability to jump in the water fully clothed and swim across the pool,” she said. This brings home the value of swimming as a potentially life-saving skill.

It’s true even for a threeyear-old.

“If they’re fully capable of swimming across a 10 or 15 metre span we put jeans and a sweater and a pair of shoes of them and see if they can do it that way.”

making monsters

Head librarian Marla Skomar reads stories about friendly monsters to a group of preschool children during the weekly storytime session at the Martensville library on Monday, May 2.

Following the stories, the children got busy making their own monster puppets using paper bags, crayons, cut-out eyes and teeth, and glue. Next week is the final story time session of the season at the library. Plans are currently in the works for the library’s summer reading program.

spring makeover

Wilco landscape crew members Pino Rojas and Chuy Dehara install turf on the lawn of the Martensville Athletic Pavilion on Thursday, April 28. With above normal temperatures to end April and into early May, spring work on parks and streets is in full swing around the region.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Six new signs posted at strategic locations in Warman are a visible reminder that residents are working in partnership with the police to keep the community safe.

The volunteer-run Warman Neighbourhood Watch (WNW) organization began two years ago and is making a difference, according to Marshall Seed, one of the coordinators of the group. Seed and Mark Stiglitz launched the group as a vehicle for citizens to “look, listen and report” any suspicious or criminal activity within the community.

The signs inform the public that a Neighbourhood Watch committee is active in Warman. They were erected by the city’s public works department earlier this month.

The signs were paid for

by Warman Fire Rescue (WFR), the city’s firefighting and medical first responder organization. Warman Fire Chief Russ Austin said WFR members support the goals of the Neighbourhood Watch group.

Mayor Sheryl Spence said the signs “show people there is a group dedicated to keeping a close eye over our community.

“Since they’ve been active, I’ve seen a definite presence; and I know that there has been an improvement in the level of reporting of incidents of concern to the police,” she said. “Quite often things happen and people don’t tell the police about it.

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Warman Neighbourhood Watch signs are now up in strategic locations throughout the city. From left to right are RCMP Cst. Jennifer Chorney, Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence, Warman Fire Chief Russ Austin and Warman Neighbourhood Watch co-coordinator Marshall Seed.

But to make crime prevention programs work, you need to report all incidents to the RCMP.” The WNW held a membership meeting on Thursday, April 28, which was well-attended, said Seed.

“We’ve had a good response from the community,” he said. “We have regular weekend patrols and do walk-throughs at public events and places like the Legends Centre.”

Seed said the group’s efforts have helped reduce the incidence of petty crime in the area in the past several months.

Another positive outcome is that residents are becoming educated about crime prevention, and are also getting to know their neighbours.

“It’s all about keeping our community safe, and helping each other out,” said Seed.

Martensville girls help build school in Dominican Republic

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A group of Martensville teens spent about ten days earlier this spring getting their hands dirty building a high school in an impoverished village in the Dominican Republic.

It was a life-changing experience for the ten members of the Martensville Pathfinders troop and their four adult chaperones, according to Jennifer Baxter, a parent and Girl Guide leader.

“It was an amazing eyeopener for everyone,” said Baxter in an interview on Monday, May 2. “I think the girls came back with a real appreciation for Canada and Saskatchewan, and how fortunate we are to live here.

“But at the same time, they now have a strong connection and a deep empathy for the people that they met and played with and worked side-by-side with in that village. They understand what real poverty is, and how people can rise above that.

“The people in that village are almost all refugees from Haiti and they have next to nothing, but they love life and they were happy.”

The Pathfinders troop,

made up of ten girls aged 13 to 15, raised more than $43,000 over the past 18 months through bottle drives, barbecues and other activities to go on a mission through the Me to We Foundation from March 23 to April 4.

The high school project is being built under the auspices of the Samaritan’s Purse Foundation. In addition to helping dig the school’s

foundation by hand, the girls painted the exterior of several homes.

But it wasn’t all work and no play.

“The best part was the baseball games with the local kids,” said Baxter. “That was where the real connections were made with the people of the village.”

Baxter said the majority of the population of the village of 600 residents are refugees

from Haiti, which shares the Caribbean island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic and is one of the poorest countries in the world.

She said the culture shock

the girls experienced was as extreme as the difference in the weather.

“It was 30 degrees or more there all the time,” said Baxter. “And it was very humid, so coming from the dry, cool prairies was a big difference.”

The Martensville Kinsmen Club helped the Pathfinders early in their fundraising efforts with a $3,000 boost. She noted the organization is already working on plans for the next mission trip in 2018.

Let’s not be taken for granted by government It has been about three weeks since the Sask Party won the provincial election and there is a lot going on. We see the future of Saskatchewan is about to have troubles. We in rural Saskatchewan must take the lead on action and not allow the Sask Party to take us for granted any longer. We have backed them and fought hard for them. Yet we are about to take the hard hit first; for they think we will just back them.

The Prairie Spirit School Division is again running a deficit and we are in big trouble in this constituency. The division is going to be doing cutbacks and again nothing was said during the election. Extra time for our students, special needs helpers and part-time helpers will be cut.

This extra help is what gives our children the extra push needed to succeed through schooling.

These cutbacks will affect new teachers who are trying to gain experience and will affect those children that are already having a huge issue with school; thus creating a school system that doesn’t help the most vulnerable children and creates an unfair disadvantage in the school system.

The Sask Party and the NDP knew of this but wouldn’t bring this to the attention of the people in the election.

It was just put under the rug – as all issues were in this election. As well, we have crumbling buildings that our students are being taught in and no accountability for the so-called money allocated to these issues.

It is time for us in rural Saskatchewan to no longer be taken for granted and that we will take all the hits and still vote Sask Party.

Environment debate needs reason Somewhere, reasonability can always be found in political debate.

Unfortunately when it comes to issues like the environment, it wasn’t to be found on the floor of last month’s federal NDP convention where delegates debated the leap manifesto that promotes an end to oil infrastructure projects and stops just short of demanding oil remain in the ground and that we end all forms of large-scale agriculture.

But does that necessarily mean the answers can then be found on rural Saskatchewan’s coffee row? Or are the answers to be found in the partisan press releases we are seeing from government caucus condemning all aspects of the leap manifesto debate as unworthy of consideration?

The thought crosses one’s mind not only in the wake of the radical leap manifesto but also in the partisan reaction from the NDP’s opponents.

Before we venture too far down this road, however, let us acknowledge that reasonability is seldom found smack dab in the middle.

And given the uncom-

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

promising tone of the leap manifesto, it seems its proponents care little about compromise.

After all, is it reasonable to believe locally produced agriculture production is viable in a world where largescale grain, oilseed and livestock operations struggle to make a go of it?

Is it reasonable to stop pipelines as a means of transporting oil, natural gas and other petroleum products throughout North America when the alternative is the risk of another Lac Megantic disaster?

Is it even reasonable to think that this will shutdown the oilsands or that we can wean ourselves off fossil fuels by the middle of the century?

And most importantly of all, are any of these lofty goals worth the price of thousands upon thousands of lost jobs in the oil sector?

But does that mean we ignore all aspects of this debate … or, worse yet, de-

liberately misinterpret the views of locally elected New Democrats?

For starters, all the federal NDP agreed to do is debate it at the constituency level. This is a far cry from adopting it as party policy; especially at the NDP provincial level in Alberta and Saskatchewan where the leap manifesto is opposed.

Yes, even Saskatchewan’s NDP caucus opposes it; this, notwithstanding NDP MLA Cathy Sproule’s support of the motion so that it could be voted at the NDP constituency level.

In fact, Sproule said in an interview she personally opposes aspects of leap manifesto prohibiting pipeline development, ending largescale farming and keeping oil in the ground.

Of course, that may cause one to wonder exactly what it is that Sproule supports … other than the notion that we should have a debate. Also, Sproule has promoted the phasing out of electrical-powered coal.

But if a meaningful environmental debate is what Sproule wants, is that really a problem?

Contrast this with what we saw in a recent Sask.

Party caucus news release put out on behalf of new Estevan MLA Lori Carr.

In that release, Carr said “the NDP want to shut down our province’s oil and coal industries.”

“It makes you wonder where the NDP’s priorities are,” Carr said. “Why is the NDP’s Finance critic actively working against jobs in our province?”

Well, she isn’t.

In fact, as a financial critic, Sproule actually has legitimate reason to ask why a debt-plagued Sask. Party government has already spent $1.5 billion for a clean coal scrubber in Carr’s Estevan riding that hasn’t exactly worked.

If we can’t make clean coal viable, shouldn’t we be debating whether it’s still viable? Wasn’t phasing out coal-generated electricity also what the former Progressive Conservatives in Alberta were promoting long before the arrival of that province’s NDP government?

Clearly, there isn’t much middle ground in the Leap Manifesto.

But does that mean we ignore all environmental issues it touches?

Warman firefighters stare down the stair challenge last year.

Bill Braun’s widow, Catharine, and his grandson Josh, a professional firefighter in Calgary, were both at the event. In a heartfelt speech on stage at the event, Josh Braun told how much the Warman Fire Hall means to his grandmother and himself.

The fastest time in the event was posted by Calgary firefighter Kyle Rebryna who climbed the distance in an unbelievable 12 minutes and six seconds.

The fastest of the 37 female competitors in the event was Karla Cairns of Swift Current, who made it in 13 minutes and 44 seconds.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A team of four firefighters from Warman are breathing easier now after completing one of the toughest challenges in the world.

Kelvin Ooms, Ken McSheffrey, Ken Goebel and Bryce McGillis represented Team Warman Fire Rescue at the 2016 Firefighter Stairclimb Challenge in Calgary, Alberta on Sunday, May 1.

The event involved climbing 1204 steps (775 vertical feet) to the top of the Bow Tower, Calgary’s tallest building, in full firefighter turnout gear, including the added weight of self-contained breathing apparatus (without the oxygen turned on).

After months of intense training, the Warman team were equal to the task. Although they didn’t have the fastest times, they all finished the climb in one piece and raised a total of $3,266 for Wellspring Calgary, a foundation that provides programs, resources and support for people living with cancer. The Calgary Firefighter Benevolent Society, which organized the event, provides assistance to firefighters and their families in need.

The Warman Fire Rescue team dedicated their efforts to the late Bill Braun of Warman, a long-time member of the volunteer fire department, who passed away

Clavet players set sights on national women’s U18 team

Mackenna Parker

Willow Slobodzian the morning on May 4. It’s very exciting for everyone.

The girls have given up so much to get to this level, so it’s nice to see it pay off and have them rewarded for their hard work and dedication.”

Saskatoon Stars head coach Greg Slobodzian said the goal of the Stars hockey program is to help the players develop their full potential, both on and off the ice.

With four of the five Saskatchewan players selected for the camp coming from the Stars’ organization, it’s clear that philosophy is working.

Slobodzian said the invita-

tion to the camp was earned by the girls throughout the season.

“Hockey Canada has scouts at all the events,” he noted. “They watch for a lot of things, not just how the girls perform on the ice, but also their attitude and their commitment to the game and to their teammates.”

Slobodzian said female hockey players at the elite level are every bit as competitive and tough as their male counterparts, but they have a unique quality that sets them apart.

“They play the game because they love the game; pure and simple,” said Slobodzian. “With guys, and I’ve coached them at a high level too, there is always the goal of making it to the WHL and the NHL that underlies everything, and that can result in a young player putting too much pressure on himself.

“With female hockey, Midget AAA is just one step below as high as they can go. They’ve already achieved a very high level,” he said. “Their attitude is very different. They play hard, but if they make a mistake, they bounce back and smile and move on quickly. It’s very refreshing.”

Tracy Parker said Mackenna started playing hockey at the Novice level when she was in Grade 1.

“She was never impressed with figure skating,” said Parker. “She didn’t like the little white skates with picks. She wanted to play hockey like her brother. We Clavet players eager to step up

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Two teenagers from Clavet are among the top young female hockey players in the country.

Willow Slobodzian, 16, and Mackenna Parker, 15, of Clavet are hoping to make Canada’s U18 women’s hockey team. They were among 50 young women, five of them from Saskatchewan, who received an invitation to attend Canada’s National Women’s Program strength and conditioning camp in Hamilton, Ontario May 4-8.

The camp is a key part of Hockey Canada’s overall development program.

Both Willow and Mackenna play for the Saskatoon Stars Midget AAA team coached by Greg Slobodzian, Willow’s father. The Stars placed fourth in this year’s national female Midget AAA championship.

Two of the other players invited to the national training camp are also from the Stars organization: Sophie Shirley and Nara Elia of Saskatoon. The other Saskatchewan player is Brooke Hobson of Prince Albert.

One other Saskatchewan player, Emily Clark of Saskatoon, was invited to the camp as part of Canada’s National Women’s Development team.

Getting an invitation to the national team’s camp is pretty exciting for both girls, according to Tracy Parker, Mackenna’s mother.

“They’re both pretty nervous and excited,” said Tracy in an interview on Friday, April 29. “They’re scheduled to fly out of Saskatoon at 6 o’clock in

Clavet players eager to step up Continued from page 10 switched her over to hockey and she never looked back.

“She played her first couple years with the Comets organization in Saskatoon and then we moved to Clavet, so she went to play Pee Wee AA in Martensville on a boys team.”

After a year in bantam, she tried out for the Stars and made it as an underage player. This past season was her second year with the Saskatoon Stars.

Willow Slobodzian has always been “goal-driven,” according to her dad and coach.

“When she was little, she was very upset when she learned there was no Stanley Cup for the girls,” said Greg Slobodzian. “So when she found out the highest level she could make was to earn a scholarship and get her education paid for and perhaps play for her country, those are the goals she set for herself.”

Willow has accepted a scholarship from the University of North Dakota and is looking to crack the roster for the national women’s U18 team.

“We’re very proud of her,” said Greg. “It’s exciting to see her take that next step.”

Players selected for this camp are in consideration for the Canadian teams that will compete in a threegame series against the United States this summer in Calgary, as well as at the 2017 IIHF U18 Women’s World Championship and 2017 Saskatoon Midget AAA Stars teammates Nations Cup, and with Canada’s NaWillow Slobodzian (left) and Mackenna Parker tional Women’s Team. celebrate a win during the 2015-16 playoffs Following the strength and condition camp, Hockey Canada scouts will continue to evaluate players at provin- cial and national events, including the 2016 cial camps, additional national team camps Esso Cup, Canada’s National Female Midget in August, and as they compete with their Championship, and both NCAA and Canadiclub and school teams at various provinan Interuniversity Sport competition.

Five landscaping tips to increase your property value Investing in landscaping can bring some of the biggest returns for homeowners, yet too often it remains overlooked or underdone.

The same care and attention we apply to interior renovations should be applied to the garden. “Curb appeal plays a huge role in selling your home and adding value to it,” says Michelle Sordi, director of marketing at Husqvarna, the world’s largest producer of outdoor power products. “Enhancing your outdoor space with smart landscaping solutions is a great way to invest in your home.”

Sordi shares the following landscaping tips for homeowners looking to increase their property value: Nurture your lawn – Once the snow melts, do an assessment of your lawn and look for any dead grass or thinning patches so you can quickly treat them.

Also, remove any weeds as early as possible so you can avoid breeding pests and diseases.

Landscape with a purpose – If you’re planning to sell your home in the near future, tailor the landscap-

ing plan to appeal to your target buyer. Families typically enjoy more greenery and yard space for children to play, and a small patio for entertaining. They are also likely to have less time to groom the property, so select plants that are native to the region and easy to maintain.

Be equipped with the right tools – Quality tools produce professional grade results and help you complete tasks more efficiently. A lawn mower with an adjustable cutting deck makes it easier to select the height for cutting while a lightweight trimmer that is compatible with multiple attachments minimizes the number of tools in your

shed.

Pave the way – Commonly referred to as hardscaping, consider adding a stone walkway or patio section. As well, care for the shrubs and greenery that surround your home. This adds immediate curb appeal and helps buyers understand the outdoor living space available.

Consult a pro – Take a walk around your property with a realtor or landscaper for tips and additional pointers on where to make improvements. Their industry insights will ensure you are investing dollars in the right places.

in the mood for your spades and trowels: Bright Begonias: Nothing says summer like brilliant colours and again this year, gardeners are looking to have their outdoor spaces dazzle with different shades and hues. Many have already dubbed 2016 “The Year of the Begonia” as this bright annual is winning fans across both Canada and the United States.

It’s not just traditional begonias that people are talking about however. The newest varieties are loaded with colours and bred to enjoy the sun and shade. They’re

prefect to liven up any area of your garden.

Relax And Let The Plants Do The Work: Have you always wanted to start gardening but just can’t seem to keep your plants alive?

Fear not. More and more new gardeners are learning that you don’t have to spend hours a day to impress your backyard guests. If you love to garden but aren’t sure about plant arrangement, try pre-planted garden mixes. It’ll take the guess work out of gardening but still result in planters and baskets that are perfectly colour coordinated.

The perfect cut for stylish lawns With spring approaching, lawn care experts point out that not all mowing techniques are the same. ”Simply mowing your lawn is not enough,” says John Ladds, the operations manager at Weed Man Canada.

Before that first mowing, make sure that there is no standing water and that your grass has had a chance to air dry. Mow frequently enough to shave the top third of your grass blades while maintaining a mower height of 7.5 to 8.5 centimetres. This could mean two to three times per week during periods of rapid growth such as spring and fall.

A sharp blade ensures that your mower is cutting the grass cleanly. Mower blades need sharpening two to three times per season.

If you mow north/south one week, try east/west

the next. Alternating your mowing direction keeps grass blades growing straight, allowing for better air circulation and light penetration. For a professional look, mow in straight lines and overlap your wheel’s line marks slightly. Keep lawn edges looking clean by using a trimmer to shape areas around curbs

and sidewalks.

For much of the year it is recommended that you use your mower’s mulching functionality, as this returns valuable nutrients back to the soil. For the first and last mow of the year, however, attaching your mower’s bag can help keep your lawn clean and breathing easily.

LORA AS

Colour Me Green: Forget the white picket fence; the ever growing trend of backyard colour is moving beyond the garden and into backyard structures. Fences and sheds are trending towards darker colours like navies, blacks and dark forest greens. If you’re planning on doing some outdoor building, or giving the fence a quick coat of paint, think about these colours that are sure to give your outdoor space a modern feel.

Food Gardens: Lastly, a trend that’s becoming even more of a “movement” in the past few years is growing your own food. Whether its fresh herbs on the windowsill or planters and gardens filled with new and

exciting varieties of exotic berries, growing our own food has never been more on trend. Planting edibles is an exciting opportunity to learn about new and different varieties of fruits and veggies so don’t be afraid to experiment this sea-

son. Or for something truly unique, try the PC Ketchup and Fries, a unique tomato grafted onto a potato plant.

Who knew that you can grow tomatoes and potatoes on the same plant? It’s just another exciting step in the world of gardening.

Five tips for water conservation Looking to save a few dollars on your utility bill this season? Look no further than your lawn. “A healthy lawn only needs about an inch of water per week,” says John Ladds, the operations manager at Weed Man Canada.

“That’s good news for most of us, and can mean a leaner water bill if done correctly.”

The following advice can help stretch your water this season without sacrificing your lawn: 1. Time your watering.

Aim for early mornings when possible, to minimize evaporation or sun scorching. Prevent over-watering by putting your sprinkler on a timer.

2. Place your sprinkler wisely. Maximum coverage is nice, but try to avoid watering hard surfaces such as driveways and sidewalks.

This is literally water down the drain.

3. Check your equipment.

Make sure all sprinklers and hoses are free of leaks or

blockages.

4. Use Mother Nature to your advantage. Divert eavestroughs to collect rainfall in a barrel or other large container and keep it covered to lessen insects and contaminants.

5. Maintain proper lawn care. Avoid mowing too short, as longer grass receives more shade and absorbs more water. Having your lawn aerated once a year can also help water penetrate more deeply.

A guide for beginner gardeners Have you ever wanted to make a salad from vegetables you grew yourself? Or give a bouquet to your loved one made of fresh flowers picked from your own garden? Now is your time to shine and grow like a pro with a few tips to get you started: Research While your first attempt may not be as beautiful as Butchart Gardens in British Columbia, it can certainly serve as inspiration as you begin to visualize how you would like your garden to look. Hop on the web, take a stroll through your neighbourhood or head to your local garden store for some creative inspiration.

Tools You’ll need to acquire a few essential tools for preparing the soil/space, for

planting your seeds and for garden maintenance: • Gloves - To protect your hands from prickles, thorns and dirt, make sure to have some sturdy gardening gloves on hand.

• Hand Trowel – This will act as your best friend when it comes time to plant your seeds, excavate weeds and transport items from pots to your garden.

• Wheelbarrow - Investing in a wheelbarrow is a must for gardeners. You’ll likely need to purchase some gardening soil to mix in with your ground soil. Having a wheelbarrow on hand to help you transport the soil from your vehicle to your garden is gold.

Gardening Gear To be a true gardener, you’ll need a few key items in your wardrobe:

Provincial wildfire hazard extreme

Fire bans are in place in rural municipalities across Saskatchewan, including the RM of Corman Park.

The wildland hazard rating for the province of Saskatchewan is in the extreme range for almost the entire province of Saskatchewan.

Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder said this region is one of the driest in the province, and residents are well advised to respect the fire ban.

“When you look at the provincial map we in the middle of the extreme conditions,” said Elder. “A fire ban is in effect for the RM of Corman Park, as well as the

Town of Dalmeny. This ban is in effect to protect us all and prevent a disaster from occuring.

Elder pointed out the potential danger from wildfires underlines the need for residents to be prepared for any emergency.

“If a fire was to get out of control, and threaten your home, would you be prepared to leave your home in a matter of minutes?

This week Dalmeny’s EMO Co-ordinator Devin King will be posting valuable information encouraging all of us to be prepared in the event of any disaster.”

The fire hazard in southern Saskatchewan, depicted in red, is rated as extreme by the Government of Saskatchewan

Firefighters battle blaze in Corman Park Saskatoon firefighters were called out late Thursday night, April 28, to a vehicle and grass fire in the RM of Corman Park west of Saskatoon.

Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) Battalion Chief Marc DeGirolamo said the call came in at 11:40 pm.

Crews from Firehall Two responded to a location west on Highway 14 to Range Road 3072 and then five kilometers north to a reported grass/brush fire.

“On arrival crews found that a semi-tractor and dump trailer were fully involved as well as a grass and brush fire,” said DeGirolamo.

“Crews were able to stop the forward advance of the grass fire before concentrating on extinguishment of the semi-tractor and trailer.”

DeGirolamo said fire crews gave the “under control” within one hour and the “all clear” once the fire was extinguished shortly afterwards.

There were no injuries as a result of this fire and damage to the vehicles are a total loss; estimate unavailable at this time.

RCMP were also called to the scene.

Soil conditions are still very dry and the Saskatoon Fire Department reminds people that the RM of Corman Park has a fire ban in place until further notice.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca About 50 people have already signed up to become volunteers with the Warman Emergency Response Team (WERT), and the application process is still open, according to Randy Meginbir, Warman Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) Coordinator.

“There’s been a good response from the public so far,” said Meginbir. “The training doesn’t begin until early June, so there is still plenty of time for people who are interested to apply.”

Instructors for the training sessions are currently being lined up, said Meginbir.

“The intention is to have training sessions one evening a week, commencing in early June,” he said.

“Our long-term goal is to have 150 volunteers trained and active in three years’ time.”

The majority of volunteers so far signed up following an information meeting on WERT on March 15.

Additional information on WERT will be available at the Warman Open House sessions slated for Thursday, May 12.

Meginbir said volunteers with WERT will receive free training, tools, uniforms and other essential materials while serving on the team.

The materials remain the property of WERT. A $20,000 donation from Affinity Credit Union and a $1,000 donation from IDeal-2-U Thrift Store helped cover the organization’s initial expenses.

Additional corporate donations are being sought for the program.

Meginbir told the meeting that emergency situations can happen anywhere, anytime.

“In Saskatchewan, 81 communities declared a state of emergency in the last two years alone,” said Meginbir.

“We don’t get earthquakes or tsunamis, but we have our share of tornadoes, winter storms and flooding.”

He said WERT is the first of its kind in Saskatchewan, and provincial emergency response officials are keen to use this initiative as a foundation for similar organizations across the province.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19

Finding yourself in the middle of a sticky situation has you trying to discover a solution to a complicated problem.

You might need to distance yourself for a little while.

AQUARIUS January 20– February 18

A disagreement with a friend or family member could turn your schedule upside down for a little bit, Aquarius. You’ll get back on track soon enough and resolve your issues.

PISCES February 19– March 20

Pisces, getting your finances in order will take more than balancing your checkbook. It might be time to make some cuts and follow a budget.

ARIES March 21– April 19

Things seem to be in high gear this week, Aries. Others around you are just as boisterous, and it may even seem manic. Exercise a little extra patience to get through.

TAURUS April 20– May 20

Taurus, you have been hiding something and it’s time you let your feelings out in the open this week. Pay attention to how others react to the news.

GEMINI May 21– June 21

If you crave adventure then it could be time to host a party or see if friends want to go out on the town. Staying home mulling over all of the options will get you nowhere.

This week’s contradictory cosmic energy will not help you when making decisions, Cancer. It is entirely up to you and your gut instincts to make the right decisions.

LEO July 23– August 22

Leo, do not ignore the inner voice that is trying to tell you to take life more seriously. It can’t be all fun and games.

Buckle down at work and set a plan into action.

VIRGO August 23– September 22

Circumstances beyond your control will make work a little more stressful than you had anticipated, Virgo. Bide your time and soon the week will be over.

LIBRA September 23– October 22

Libra, no matter how hard you try to get yourself heard, others just aren’t ready to listen. Perhaps you have to try a new approach to making your voice heard?

SCORPIO October 23– November 21

You may find yourself in trouble this week because you keep on starting new things without finishing others.

Pretty soon you will have a list of unfinished business.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21

Restlessness can get the better of you this week. Just don’t jet off on some spur-of-the-moment trip to try to channel your energy. You have things to handle first.

Band program planned for Warman, Martensville

Da Vinci project expanding

Dave Carter, Coordinator of Schools and Learning, provided an update for Trustees on music education in Prairie Spirit at the Board’s April 4 meeting. Carter referred to research that demonstrates the positive impact of learning music on other areas of study, including math and reading. “Music education is closely tied to My Prairie Spirit Classroom,” Carter explained. “The model for learning music is truly sideby-side learning.”

Carter provided data about band participation in schools in the east and west

Jon Yellowlees, Coordinator of Schools and Learning, presented an update on the Da Vinci Project to the Prairie Spirit Board of Education meeting on April 4.

Yellowlees highlighted the ready to move (RTM) housing project at Walter W. Brown School in Langham, along with the renovation project underway in Duck Lake, both in partnership with Habitat for Humanity.

Construction students in Langham completed construction on a fourplex which was moved onto a lot in Saskatoon last year. Students are now working on constructing a duplex.

In Duck Lake, students are renovating duplexes in partnership with Habitat for Humanity to be used as single family homes. In addition to these larger projects, Yellowlees said the school division is also interested in supporting smaller Da Vinci projects that are designed at the local school level.

areas of the school division.

There are 91 students in grades 5-12 enrolled in band in the west part of the school division, while there are 175 students enrolled in band in schools in the east.

The senior bands from both Division band programs have been invited to the Rocky Mountain Music Festival at the end of April.

This is a prestigious, invitation-only event.

The Division’s Music Mentors — a group of 20 classroom teachers — have been meeting throughout the year to share ideas and learn together about offer-

ing music education.

The second annual Resonate Student Music Conference was held April 14 and 15 at Beaver Creek Camp south of Saskatoon. This year, the event was expanded to also include a professional development day for teachers on April 13.

In total, over 200 students attended the conference.

Carter provided an update on planning for band programs in schools in Martensville and Warman.

Plans are underway to offer a band program in these communities, as possible and with existing staff.

PSSD receives partnership award Prairie Spirit has been awarded a Regional Outstanding Partnership Award from the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA).

The award was presented at a CDA event on April 9.

The following is an edited version of the nomination: This [school division] team

Creative writing by Warman High School students Submitted by BRETT ROWLAND Warman High School One of the major projects students do for my English Language Arts (ELA) A30 course is a multimedia presentation inspired from Margaret Laurence’s essay, “Where the World Began.”

Students are challenged to experiment with imagery and descriptive language to share the changing world that they grew up in.

Rose Ann Salvador’s submission was unique in that her “world” began halfway across the planet. I am amazed at how much her writing has improved since first teaching her last year – a very diligent student!

Kelsey is a thoughtful writer. Her use of extended metaphor and connection to family is clear and well executed. As this assignment is quite large, the two submissions here are excerpts from their larger essays.

Rose Ann Salvador

I was born in “The Pearl of the Orient,” the Philippines. We moved to Canada and have lived in Warman since February of 2014. As a student at WHS in 2016, my life is normally boring: eat, sleep, school, and work.

Sometimes, I entertain myself through singing. However, when I feel down I express my true self through my writing. I am an introverted person and do not socialize much, but will speak with people who talk to me.

Having my writing from Mr. Rowland’s class put in a newspaper will be a memorable experience for me, and I’m happy to have the opportunity to share it. Like any student, I have many dreams and goals for my life. Although it will be difficult as an international student, my dream is to complete the Nursing program at the University of Saskatchewan. Plan B is to focus on my singing and writing while still working a fast food job, though I’m confident with hard work, I will make my dream of becoming a nurse come true.

From the Philippines to Saskatchewan

By ROSE ANN SALVADOR Everything was green: full of healthy trees, fresh air, and in the middle, a simple Nipa house. A house full of love, care, and happiness, until everything changed. My father moved overseas in order to support his family. All alone, he sacrificed his happiness for our future. When I was two, my mom and I moved into a dull place full of cement. From the second floor, the view was rusty roof tops and a lonely tree. This poor tree was used as a dumping ground for the neighbourhood’s trash. This tree was innocent. At some point it had shattered, but it never timbered. This tree was tough, strong, fearless and brave. At that time I didn’t realize that this tree was me.

I remember back in the Philippines, there was an outsider, who lived on the street. He was bullied, but

Rose Ann Salvador never complained. He was a stranger in our community. He dressed in ragged scarecrow clothes, had discoloured teeth, and wore slippers made from a plastic bottle in order to protect his feet from the heat.

Every noon, he was at my lonely tree looking for some shade to rest in and also checking around the tree for bottles, which he’d sell to a junk shop to earn money for food. My lonely tree was this stranger’s family.

He groomed it, and in a way, they both helped each other bloom.

Two years ago we moved to Canada. My first impression was that Canada was cold and quiet, but the people were warm and friendly: I was happy and excited to be here.

However, there are first impressions and then there are second ones. I could feel the droplets through my pillow, pain in my brain that wasn’t there before and loneliness in my heart. Life here should be easy, but it’s not.

I have tried to fit in. I have tried to be brave, unfrightened and strong; hard as a rock. Others do not understand me or have never tried to because I am different. I appear happy in the eyes of others, but I am screaming inside of my soul. I still believe and have hope that life will be easy and I will walk forward out of these woods until I can see a road.

Kelsey Samuels other my masterpiece starts with the frame. My family framed me and shaped me into the child I was, there was nothing wrong with a young girl loving Spiderman or fishing in our first boat out on Crystal Lake.

My family guided me and built the foundation of my knowledge like primary colors, only later would I find out what more could come from three basic colours.

As a child my world was simple, limited to red, blue, and yellow with no practical sense of how the “real” world worked. My grandmother is someone who opened my eyes to this colourblindness, and showed what more could come from three simple colours. Visiting their house was always an adventure, between my grandma’s endless wisdom and my grandpa’s hilarious CONTINUED ON PAGE 25

BEYOND BORDERS

By KELSEY SAMUELS My story starts with a blank canvas and the inability to determine black from white. At the time my world consisted of one small street lined with houses full of friends, that later turned out to be only one small part of the picture.

Luckily, I was born with a sister who, like a brush in hand, painted my world much larger than I had ever imagined. With my sister by my side, I was never afraid to colour outside the lines, the first day of school was painless and Jaws wouldn’t dare attack me while we were busy splashing in the lake.

Looking back onto my childhood is like staring at a brightly coloured painting wondering where the artist began. I am the artist of my own life, and unlike any

Fabulous four find Ottawa fantastic

Martensville students recommend Encounters with Canada

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca When Cole Zacharias got back from his Encounters with Canada (EWC) Ottawa trip recently, his Mom said he floated off the plane. “He walked off with his head a bit higher,” said Christy Zacharias.

Cole joined (EWC) in March. Three other Martensville students also made the trip in recent months.

Cole heard about it through Darien and Collier Deschner who went in November, and they heard about it from Drew Johnston who went in September.

Hosted at the Terry Fox Canadian Youth Centre, Encounters with Canada invites youth to explore the nation’s capital and meet other students from across the country.

Expectations were high and even then, they were exceeded. Due to a miscommunication, Collier was M.I.A. when the boys met at Cole’s house to reflect on their Ottawa trip highlights. The remaining three were unanimous in their endorsement of their

experience.

“The trip was a huge boost of confidence,” said Cole. “You meet so many people and you get to do so many things you never thought you could do, but since you’re thrust into that situation you do it and you realize, this is really fun. So you learn to do new things.”

Students could choose from 13 different EWC themes to shape their experience. The trip offered some common activities for the entire group and some themed activities.

Learning how to create vaccines to target viruses was a highlight for Darien.

The grade 11 student chose the theme, ‘Science and Technology.’

“You could kill the virus, you could split it apart and take a segment of it, or you could weaken it. You had to pick one of those and see what worked best. It was for the ‘zombie apocalypse’,” he said. Darien plans to go into Veterinary Medicine, a plan that’s been in place for the past 10 years, he said. The exercise tied in with his future plans.

The trip presented no shortage of fun for Drew Johnston who chose the Sports and Fitness themed program. The grade 10 student got to do some dragon boat racing (his team won), rock climbing and play om-

Drew found all the connections he made really significant. “It was great just meeting the people who came. You go there and you’re all alone. You find one person, and slowly get to meet other people, and then there’s a group and

you start doing things. That was one of the best parts,” he said.

Cole especially enjoyed visiting museums as part of the Arts and Culture program. The National Gallery of Canada stood out the most.

“I really liked all the different kinds of artwork there, some I didn’t know existed.”

Creative writing by students Continued from page 23 jokes and kind heart, I always left feeling wiser and more loved than ever. Her vibrant garden was the perfect canvas for family pictures, and after a day of showing us her fascinating flowers we could always expect to help prepare a warm meal to cover the table. My grandmother taught me how to take someone else’s broken crayons and turn them into something beautiful.

Although she was never able to finish her own masterpiece, I like to believe that through what she has

taught me I can continue it for her. Although I live in a world of unlimited creativity, certain places border my stories and experiences similar to the way black lines outline a picture in a colouring book.

When I was young, I would pedal my bike as fast as I could, but would immediately kick up rocks with the brakes once I reached the park with the big yellow slide. As I grew older these borders matured, the park later turned into the railway tracks splitting the town in two, and the railway tracks eventually turned into any-

where in town but home by ten. Certain landmarks are also places that hold stories for me, like the dock outside our summer cabin where I’ve grown up spending countless hours dreaming, dipping my toes into the lake, or the dance studio where I spent 13 years of life perfecting my skills and learning new steps to further my knowledge. These landmarks border my life and tell my stories and as they expand my knowledge that once was red, blue, and yellow, gains the power to turn into colours such as purple, green, and orange.

Encounters with Canada

Continued from page 24

One evening his group heard a presentation about war from a soldier. Then they all got on a bus and headed over to Beechwood Cemetery for a memorial.

“Each of us picked a grave and put a candle on it. One of the students played a lament on his trumpet,” said Cole. His Mom said it had to be “Taps,” typically played on Remembrance Day. Cole said the Arts & Culture program had 128 kids and 16 of those were guys.

“I wasn’t complaining,” he laughed. His group did light table animation, BBoy break dance classes, First Nations stencil drawing, and had some concerts.

The students said more people from Saskatchewan should join Encounters with Canada. There were many more students from other

provinces participating.

“The number of kids from Saskatchewan that apply is so low they’re really likely to get in,” said Christy.

“Cole came home with

such glowing reviews and such amazing experiences. The cost of $675 for the opportunity of a lifetime is a really good value in my opinion.”

WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Holden Doell of Venture Heights School scores a goal in a shoot-out (top) and celebrates (above) during a game at the annual school Floor Hockey Tournament in Warman on Friday, April 29. Venture Heights came away with a double victory at the event, taking both the boys and girls championship. The one day tournament was highlighted with great competition and sportsmanship as teams from Osler, Hague, Warman, Hepburn, Waldheim , VCA, Valley Manor and Venture Heights participated. This was best evidenced in the boys final as Venture Heights and Valley Manor squared off in an all Martensville match up. A hard fought game ended in a 1-1 tie and required shoot-outs to decide the champion. Many of the players from both schools were teammates in ice hockey during the winter and were very encouraging to each other. On the girls side, Venture Heights earned a 5-1 win over Hague Elementary in the gold medal final.

Kart racers gear up for new season

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Drivers... Start your engines!

The Martensville Speedway is gearing up for the 2016 season in a big way, with plans for upgrading the grounds and welcoming a lot of new members into the Saskatoon Kart Racers club, according to club president David Campbell.

“There’s a lot of excitement these days among club members, and also potential new club members,” said Campbell in an interview from his home in Neuanlage. “We set up displays in malls and at events like the Draggins Car Show during the off-season, and we’ve noticed a lot of folks are interested in the sport, but they’ve never had the chance to try it.”

So this year, the club is introducing a “Try-A-Kart” program to give people a taste of what they’re missing. The vehicles are oneperson go-karts powered by a four-stroke gas engine.

“The membership voted last winter to have the club purchase an older, used kart,” said Campbell.

“We’ve refurbished it, tuned it up and given it a new lease on life, and it’s going to be the vehicle that will be used to introduce people of all ages to the sport.

“Anyone can come down to the track in Martensville at the east end of 9th Street North and, for five dollars, they can go five laps around the track.

class of engine.”

The club prides itself on keeping its facility clean and in being good neighbours, said Campbell.

“We very seldom hear complaints,” he said. “It’s in a part of town that is removed from most residences, and even those who are close by have told me they really enjoy sitting out on their deck and watching the races on the weekend.”

The Martensville Speedway track hosts club races most weekends during the summer, as well as a Grand Prix event in July “It’s not a rental vehicle. People can try it once.

But we’ve found that after they’ve experienced the thrill of these safe but fast little cars they’re hooked, and they can then buy their own and get involved in the club.”

The first Try-A-Kart is Saturday, May 14 and the second is Saturday, June 4, during the club’s first two “Test and Tune” days.

There are 11 club races slated for the season, which kicks off Sunday, May 15 and ends Sunday, September 25.

Campbell said the big

event this year for the club is the hosting of the Grand Prix on the weekend of July 8, 9 and 10.

“This is a huge invitational race and we get the top drivers from Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton and Kelowna at that event,” said Campbell. “We’re expecting between 60 and 80 racers of all ages in all the classes.”

The club currently has about 40 members, and is upgrading its storage and maintenance facilities at the one-kilometer-long track, located on city-owned land.

Campbell said he’s optimis-

McHolm Law Office P.C. Inc.

tic the club can reach 60 members by the end of the season. The grounds are maintained by the club under a 20-year lease that is due to expire in six years.

The membership fee is $500, and that gives you a key to the track, said Campbell. “We find that beginners really make a lot of use of the track for training during the early stages of their racing career, and one of the attractions is that it is a real family-oriented activity. Dads and moms and kids can all participate because you race against others based on age, ability and

Campbell said the rewards vary depending on the drivers’ goals.

“It’s a great recreational activity, but it can also be extremely competitive if you decide to go that way,” he said. “My son and I raced last winter in southern Portugal at the World Championships, and the difference between first and fortieth place in the pack was a fraction of a second.”
