Back-to-back false alarms keeps fire crews busy

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Warman High School (WHS) students headed outdoors when a fire alarm sounded in the building on June 3. Warman Fire Rescue investigated a call at about 9:40 a.m. on Friday.

While a handful of stu-

dents organized an impromptu Frisbee game in the parking lot, the rescue crew checked out a smoke alarm coming from a utility room on the second floor.

A janitor at the location had reported there was no smoke in the area.

“We found a dirty sensor

in the duct and the system is back up and running,” said fire chief Russ Austin.

As firefighters were leaving the WHS scene they got another call about an alarm going off at the Lutheran Day Care in Warman. The crew headed directly to the daycare site

on South Railway Street.

Austin said they found a fault in the system and got things back up and running there as well.

“Back to back false alarms. That never happens,” he said. But they’ll take false alarms any day of the week.

SUMMER AT LAST!

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Four-year-old Emma Taylor takes aim at her playmates with a water spray cannon on opening day for the Warman Spray Park on Wednesday, June 1. The Spray Park is located in Lions Park.

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Lorne Bitner, Dalmeny’s dedicated pharmacist, has secured a place in history.

A street in a new Dalmeny subdivision has been named Bitner Place, for the former councilor and mayor of Dalmeny and long-time drug store owner.

Bitner said the recognition was never what it was about for him, but he doesn’t mind.

“It tells me I’m either old or dead,” he laughed.

Dalmeny’s deputy mayor Joel Mireau, said Bitner’s name surfaced when council was looking for names for new streets. “Lorne’s name came up as a previous mayor, as somebody who had served on council successfully and somebody that was a long-term business owner who put a lot back into the town,” said Mireau.

“Those are the kinds of people we are trying to honour and recognize by using their names for some of our streets.”

Bitner’s path to owning his own pharmacy took a few detours before he eventually chose Dalmeny as the place.

He worked at his brother Curt’s Saskatoon pharmacy while studying to become a pharmacist at the U of S, graduating from recycling, janitor work and deliveries, to working in the dispensary.

Eventually he and his brother started a pharmacy in Westview. “By the time I was done there I didn’t want anything to do with pharmacy anymore,” said Bitner.

When he completed his degree he sold real estate for a while.

But the drug store bug didn’t leave. When Bitner’s brother spied an opportunity in Dalmeny, Bitner told him, “No, I’m not doing that.”

But they went for a drive to look over the town and he

Former councilor and mayor, and longtime Dalmeny pharmacist, Lorne Bitner has been recognized by the community changed his mind.

“It was the small community setting.” Bitner looked around Dalmeny and liked what he saw. “I wouldn’t be a pharmacist in the city because you’re basically a machine. You’re just heads down and go.”

He launched the Dalmeny Buy N Save Drug Mart in 1978. In the 70s, the village attracted other young professionals who wanted to live in a smaller community.

In 1971, the population was 417 and a decade later it had more than doubled to 1,064.

Initially, the store housed a cafeteria since there was no restaurant in town. When the strip mall went in across the street with a restaurant, they switched to florals.

Bitner got into pharmacy before computers were on the scene. After 38 years in Dalmeny he says, now it has advanced to where “everything is real time adjudication by the drug plan.”

In the early years, he and some of the other young professionals began talking about how to move the town forward. They established a board of trade and began planning events to get the community working to-

gether and begin promoting changes they’d like to see.

Around that time, Dalmeny was just transitioning from village to town status. “Accountant George Knight got on council along with Al Sather to look after the transition. Once that was done, us young guys got involved on council.”

It was the early 80s and the new guys looked around to see what needed to be addressed. Drainage and road surfacing were a couple of obvious areas. ‘The streets were just awful. Everything was just gravel or mud.”

Bitner served as town councilor beginning in 1980 or ’81 and then moved on to become mayor of Dalmeny from 1988 to 1995. During those years, he was involved in some major projects including the curb and gutter project and a paving reclamation project that saw asphalt that was ground off Highway 16 brought in to surface some of the streets in town.

Council also addressed flooding on the north end.

The temprary closure of Range Road 3052, announced by the Ministry of Highways last month, has been implemented as of June 1. The road feeds the intersection of Wanuskewin Road and Highway 11 which has become increasingly hazardous in recent years. During this pilot project, access to Highway 11 via Range Road 3052 is not available. The Ministry will monitor traffic impacts at the intersection during the pilot project. The results will help them determine whether the closure will become permanent.

SUMA gives thumbs up to budget Urban governments in Saskatchewan appreciate the provincial government’s support for our cities, towns, villages, and northern communities in the provincial budget unveiled on Wednesday, June 1, says the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA).

“Urban municipalities understand the difficulties that come with preparing a budget with limited resources,” said SUMA President Debra Button.

“We appreciate the recognition of municipalities today, through direct funding such as revenue sharing and shared funding such as the New Building Canada Fund.”

With the revenue sharing remaining as one point of the PST based on revenues from two years ago, municipalities will see $271 million, and funding remains steady for items such as policing, libraries, community rinks, the Saskatchewan Assessment Management

Agency, and the Urban Highway Connector Program.

“This funding from the provincial government allows our cities, towns, villages, and northern municipalities to make the most of our property taxes,” says Button. “It’s a relief to know that as engines of economic growth, we can focus on putting that money into the services and infrastructure our communities need and our residents expect.”

The Freedom Climb is in Canada for the first time. Climbers will summit the tallest of the Three Sisters peaks near Fernie from August 6 to 12.

Raising funds for freedom from human trafficking

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The tallest of the Three Sisters peaks in Fernie, BC is 9,000 feet. Freedom Climbers intend to summit the mountain from August 6 to 12, to take a stand against human trafficking.

They’ll cover a distance of 60 kilometres, and spend one night under the stars, weather permitting.

Deborah Grenier is doing the climb for the first time.

Grenier lives just west of Saskatoon and says she has never hiked or climbed or done anything like this in her entire life.

“It’s a great opportunity to challenge myself, in preparation,” she said.

Grenier is also challenging others, not necessarily to climb unless they want to, but to support a Charity Auction Dinner she has planned along with Pam Wiens, to raise funds for the climb.

“We’re charging for tickets just to give us a head count and cover some of our expenses.” Comedian Dez Reed will be on hand to entertain guests for the evening.

The Freedom Challenge takes place under the auspices of Operation Mobilization (OM). The organization raises awareness of the plight of human trafficking, and is very involved in prevention, according to Grenier. This

can include building schools and creating supports so people recognize the danger and the options they have. OM is also involved in rescuing women and helping them transition out of the cycle.

Grenier said the supper auction should be a lot of fun. A menu with about 15 to 20 items will be available. It will include steak, shrimp, pork and chicken.

“There will only be a limited number of each item. If your heart is set on steak that night, that steak will go to the highest bidder.

Appetizers and beverages are included with the ticket price of $10. Because the event is through OM, any money spent on the meal or silent auction items is income tax receipt-able, she said.

Grenier said she was motivated to participate when she heard that in Thailand, the most requested age for prostitution is children between the ages of 6 and 12.

“And that kind of broke me.”

She wanted to do something and heard about the Freedom Climb. Then she went through all the excuses for not doing it, such as, “I am past 55 years old!” But then she thought, here’s an opportunity to make a difference.

“Even if it’s only with our fundraising and even if it’s only two or three or four women that I would impact, to those women, that is going to mean the world.” About 62 others will be joining her for this first-in-Canada climb.

The Charity Auction Dinner takes place at the Saskatoon Christian School on June 17. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the Supper Auction begins at 6:00 p.m.

Funds raised will help those trapped in modern day slavery, exploitation, oppression and human trafficking, climb toward freedom.

Victims of crime get a helping hand from volunteers

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca In its first year of operations, the Saskatchewan Central Victim Services (SCVS) office has provided assistance to victims of violent and traumatic crimes in about 250 separate cases.

“There is definitely a need for this type of service,” said SCVS Coordinator Sheri Watkins.

“In the Martensville and Warman area alone, we average about 10 cases per month.”

Watkins said the actual numbers could be much higher, since many incidents such as domestic assaults may not get reported to police.

She said while SCVS has the support of the RCMP throughout its coverage area, it is a civilian initiative and is not directly connected with the police service. The SCVS office is located in the Martensville RCMP detachment office, which recently underwent extensive renovation to house the Combined Traffic Services Unit as well.

The SCVS has four employees, including Watkins, two assistant coordinators stationed in Humboldt and Kindersley, and an administrative assistant.

The SCVS relies heavily on trained volunteers,

said Watkins.

“The response from the communities in our area has been overwhelming,” she said. “We have a total of 23 volunteers altogether, including six here in Martensville, another three in Warman, and a couple each in Dalmeny and Langham.

“We have 19 volunteers who have gone through their security clearance and are already fully trained, while the other four are slated to begin their classes in the fall,” she said.

A bike auction and barbecue was held at the SCVS office on Thursday, June 2 to raise funds and raise the organization’s profile in the community. The bike auction was held during Victims and Survivors of Crime week.

The bicycles up for sale have been at the RCMP detachment compound for at least six months, and have not been claimed.

“The money that’s raised today goes straight toward helping victims of crime in ways that fall outside our funding agreement with the province,” said Watkins. “For example, if a victim of domestic violence need a hotel room for the night because all the shelters are full, then we can use this money to ensure they have a safe place to stay.”

Old-school techniques making a comeback among firefighters

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Big-city fire departments are taking a page from their rural colleagues when it comes to tackling fires.

“Firefighting techniques are always evolving,” said Warman Fire Chief Russ Austin. “And the newest evidence shows that the old ways may be best when it comes to battling modern structural fires.

“Historically, volunteer fire departments in a rural setting would generally approach firefighting differently,” said Austin. “Volunteer firefighters would stay outside and shoot water on the fire until they had an adequate number of people there, and then send guys in to finish off the job on the inside.

“The reason is because most times they have a very limited crew who first show up, and then more volunteers arrive as the event is going on,” Austin continued. “With bigger city fire departments who have full-time firefighters, they arrive on the scene with enough firefighters, so they have the manpower there already to be able to go in and fight the fire from the inside.”

But the science is changing.

Austin said a study released at a recent firefighting conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, showed that modern buildings and their contents generally burn hotter and faster than older buildings.

They also tend to give off more toxic gases and other byproducts; and because they are built more air-tight, the air flow inside the building will have a big influence on the fire’s behaviour.

“It turns out scientists are confirming that the way volunteer fire departments have been fighting fires for the past fifty years is the right way to go,” said Austin. “The recommended way now to tackle fires is to go at it from the outside first and cool down the environment for a couple of minutes. After it’s knocked down then you can send a crew in to a much less toxic environment.”

Austin said forty years ago, most houses would burn at a maximum of 400 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit.

“That 600 degree fire was considered a really hot, smoking fire,” he said. “In those days, most buildings were made with two-byten boards and plywood, and even the furniture was made with solid wood

and other rigid materials.

It took a lot more time for those houses to burn down, and the amount of fuel that was in the buildings didn’t create as high-temperature fires or as many different kinds of gases as we have now.”

Modern buildings are made using higher-technology materials that have many advantages, including increased energy-efficiency and lower cost.

But there is a trade-off when it comes to the consequences of fire.

“Houses now are constructed using Oriented Strand Board (OSB) sheets, which are basically chips of wood held together by glue,” said Austin. “The floor joists are JSI joists, which are two-by-fours basically glued to pieces of OSB. A lot of the popular furniture is stuff that comes in a box and you assemble it yourself. Most of that is compressed sawdust held together with glue.

That stuff burns really hot and really fast.

“Studies show that the fire temperatures inside modern structures can reach upwards of 1200 degrees Fahrenheit,” he continued. “Because our fire gear is rated for anywhere between 500 and 600 degrees, that’s the maximum a firefighter can go into.

“So if a room spontaneously combusts when you’re in it, nobody lives.

“That’s the reason they want to knock that temperature down to a more manageable level before they send people in.”

Austin said larger, fulltime fire departments across North America, including Saskatoon, are going to be rolling out the new way of attacking fires starting this summer and fall.

“It’s not a big change for us,” he concluded. “But it’s important to stay on top of the latest science. We’re in the process now of train-

FORT MCMURRAY WILDFIRE

Redefining, broadening community resilience

By Satyamoorthy Kabilan Conference Board of Canada During The Conference Board of Canada’s Resilience 2016 conference in Toronto, the need for building community resilience to help us cope with a range of emergencies was emphasized during almost every presentation. Community resilience is a measure of the sustained ability of a community to utilize available resources to respond to, withstand, and recover from adverse situations. Public Safety Canada, through its 2016 Emergency Preparedness Week campaign, also emphasized the need for Canadians to take action to protect themselves and their families during emergencies, a key aspect of building community resilience. But community resilience goes far beyond just protecting yourself and your family.

The Fort McMurray wildfire forced local residents to flee with very little notice. Many grabbed what little they could, piled into their vehicles, and headed out of the city. However, not everyone had enough gas in their tanks to make it to their destinations. What started emerging were stories of people dumping their prized possessions and what little they had managed to save, so that they could make room in their vehicles to take others with them. The community of Fort McMurray came to the aid of its own members, exhibiting its resilience and ability to withstand the tragedy that was unfolding.

As Fort McMurray evacuees made their way to other communities, such as Lac La Biche, Edmonton, and Calgary, the outpouring of support from these host communities was incredible. Donations flowed, volunteers helped, and people were opening their homes to welcome the evacuees. The concept of community in this case had expanded—it had gone beyond Fort McMurray and grown to encompass multiple communities in Alberta, all helping to ensure that the community of Fort McMurray was able to withstand the crisis that it was facing.

This community continued to expand beyond Alberta and into the rest of Canada. From St. John’s to Vancouver, donations were being made and goods were being collected to assist the evacuees from Fort McMurray. The outpouring of support from across Canada for those affected demonstrates that Fort McMurray residents were simply seen as part of a wider community.

This community that encompassed Canada was pulling together to help the residents of Fort McMurray make it through their emergency.

While it is necessary and very important to ensure that we encourage individuals and families to be prepared as part of building local community resilience, we also need to recognize that a key role can be played by the wider sense of community that exists at the regional, provincial, territorial, and even country-wide levels.

Individual resilience and local community resilience can help, but sometimes this can only get you so far because of the catastrophic nature of the emergency that you face.

Perhaps we need to rethink—and, potentially, redefine—our concept of community resilience from what we have witnessed with Fort McMurray. Going back to the definition of community resilience I mentioned earlier, the ability of the community in Fort McMurray to withstand and recover from the wildfire is being shaped by its place within the wider community of Alberta and Canada. Similarly, the availability of resources to achieve this is enhanced in many ways by what this broader community can provide. When we define community resilience, we should also think about how individuals and communities fit within the context of the larger communities around them. The links that they build and their ability to call on their broader community for assistance and support seems to be a very important factor in building resilience for individual communities. This does not mean that we should abrogate individual communities’ responsibilities to build their own resilience—rather we need to situate that within the larger community context that may extend well beyond a single municipality or region.

The lesson from Fort McMurray? When building community resilience, you need to look inside within your own community as well as outside within the context of your broader community.

Provincial budget tough on everyone The 2016-17 Saskatchewan budget was not easy for many.

The admitted deficit shortfall of $434-million (based on $14.02 billion in revenues; $968-million less revenue than last year; and $14.46 billion in expenditure) was just the start of the story.

This figure did not include the extra $1 billion in borrowing for capital expenditures that will have to be repaid. Nor does it reflect Saskatchewan’s public debt that will increase by $1.3 billion to $14.8 billion by the end of 2017.

The past two years has seen some of the fastest rising debt in Saskatchewan history, at a time when the budget shows oil, potash and uranium revenues as being stagnant.

Economic growth in Saskatchewan in 2016 is predicted to be .5 per cent; third-worst in Canada and only marginally better than 2015’s minus 1.4 per cent GDP growth.

Notwithstanding Finance Minister Kevin Doherty’s bold prediction he will turn things around by the 2017 spring budget, this will be the province’s third consecutive deficit budget and ANGELA HEIDEL

sixth deficit budget among the nine budgets Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party government has presented.

This is a rather dubious record for a government that has presided over some of the most bountiful years in Saskatchewan history, with oil prices over $100 US a barrel.

Finally, it is quite obvious that we are already feeling the pinch that seems to be accompanying Saskatchewan’s dwindling prosperity.

The 2016-17 budget increases the Children’s and Senior’s Drug Plan by $5 per prescription.

It closes the Buffalo Narrows Community Centre. aboriginal policy consultant groups will be reduced by $580,000, the aboriginal courtworker program will take a $600,000 hit and special investigations unit (to investigate allegations of municipal police officers misconduct) will be cut in half.

for urban parks in Moose Jaw, Swift Current, Prince Albert, North Battleford and Weyburn will all be eliminated.

The Sask. Party government is eliminating the Active Families Benefit personal income tax refund to save another $5.5 million.

Apprenticeship training and support will take a $3.49 million hit and the Saskatchewan Employment Supplement will lose grandfathering provisions to save another $2.5 million.

It’s far more bad news than we are used to seeing from this Saskatchewan Party government; bad news that will hit rural and urban residents, alike.

And, of course, there is the foreboding notion of more change in the future.

One of the things clearly on the chopping block is local hospital region boards.

While not everyone in rural Saskatchewan has been enamoured with the work of these boards, losing local representation and having more decisions made in Regina may not be a good thing.

But despite the budget’s bad news, there was good news to be found in the 201617 budget; especially for ru-

ral folks.

The agriculture budget was actually one of the winners with a 7.5-per-cent increase.

SaskPower and SaskEnergy are both looking at transmission and distribution expansions that will largely take place in rural Saskatchewan.

As promised by the Sask.

Party in the March election campaign, highways spending will be increased by an additional $70 million in the next three years to fix more roads. Twinning from Estevan to Beinfait, $12.3 million for improvements to Hwy. 55, $1.3 million for passing lanes from Regina to Estevan and 100 kilometres of rural highway upgrades including Hwy. 322 north of Silton and Hwy. 354 near Dilke are among the other highlights.

There was $41.9 million for on-going capital school projects, including those at St. Brieux, Langenburg, Gravelbourg and Martensville. And North Battleford and Kelvington will see on-going financial commitments to the building of their health care facilities.

It was a tough budget, but there was some good news to be found.

NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS

The Clark’s Crossing Gazette welcomes the submission of news stories, photos, letters or any other information that would be of interest to the readers of this newspaper.

NEWS OR SPORTS STORIES

If you or someone you know has been involved in an event you think is newsworthy, please include your name and contact information (either a daytime telephone number and/or email address). Please send the information in a timely manner following the event and remember to include as much pertinent information as possible, including the following:

1. WHO was involved?

2. WHAT was the event?

3. WHEN and WHERE did the event occur?

4. WHY was the event important?

PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPS

All the information that goes with a news story should also accompany photo(s) as above. Include the names of all the people in each photo and identify from left to right and from back to front.

1. Set your camera to the highest resolution possible. The more resolution, the better the

final outcome of the photo in print.

2. Don’t be shy! Get close to your subject(s). Most photos taken with a built-in zoom lens extended will

produce “grainy” images that do not reproduce well.

3. Attempt to get dynamic photos of something happening instead of just a quick snapshot.

4. “Presentation” photos typically don’t work well if there are too many people side-by-side in the frame.

If there are many people in the photo, have them as close together as possible and, if needed, have

the front row seated and the back row standing.

5. Remember taking a picture facing into the sun or bright light will produce poor quality images.

Skate park design gets rolled out Workshop gathers community input for Martensville facility

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca A representative from the Calgary firm, New Line Skateparks, was in Martensville on Thursday to gather input for a proposed Martensville Skate Park.

The Skatepark Design Workshop was a community-wide opportunity for residents to share their ideas for the park’s development priorities.

There was some definite preliminary interest from some boys and their dads, who pulled in around several tables at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre for the workshop.

Trevor Morgan from New Line facilitated the evening, beginning with an introduction of the project. “We’re gathering design input for the types of terrain features we want to put in the park, and also getting a sense of what makes Martensville unique,” he said.

Morgan began with a 20-minute presentation and then took participants through a number of interactive exercises, involving sketching, writing, modeling, exploring dotmocracy boards on the wall, and discussion.

An area in Martensville’s Kinsmen Park has been designated for the skate park. Morgan said the scale of the park has not been fully fleshed out yet. The Warman Skate Park may serve as a reference point, being in a city of similar size.

New Line completed the skate park in Warman last year and also did the Lions Skate Park in

A master plan of KInsmen Park in Martensville indicates the location of a proposed skate park Saskatoon. “We’ve done a number of others around the province, and probably over 200 across the world to date,” said Morgan.

He talked about modern skate parks and the opportunity to break stereotypes associated with skate parks, of the large concrete

square that’s covered in graffiti and thrown in a field with basic functionality for skate boarding.

Modern parks can facilitate a

range of activities, with skateboarding being primary. “But you’re likely to see BMX, inline skating and scooter riding within the park.”

Morgan said the park will be built out of cast-in-place concrete for durability and give them complete flexibility in design.

In modern skate parks you’ll see integral colour put into the concrete, different textures to accent areas like granite, different steel detailing and so forth, he added.

“The Martensville Skate Park will have a really interesting aesthetic at the end of the day that will hopefully capture some unique aspects of what Martensville is and what makes it unique.”

Following this initial collection of input, New Line will take the information from the evening and come back with a design.

That process could take eight to 10 weeks according to Morgan. It could be accelerated or extended depending on what their analysis of the site reveals and how many different design directions they explore.

“We want to make a great functional space for skate-boarding, BMX, inline skating, but we also want to create a really exciting and successful public space that everyone in the community can appreciate and enjoy, and really see this component as an enhancement to Kinsmen Park,” said Morgan.

The plan is to begin construction of the skate park in 2017.

Province, Warman to integrate emergency training initiatives

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A provincial pilot project launched last year to train government employeees as emergency response support personnel is “very similar” to the Warman Emergency Response Team (WERT) program, according to Duane McKay, Commissioner of Saskatchewan’s Emergency Management and Fire Safety (EMFS) department.

“Both programs began about the same time,” said McKay in an interview at the first training session for WERT volunteers in Warman on Thursday, June 2. “We began our program on a small scale to see if it would work. Unknown to us, Warman was deciding to do the same thing around the same time.

“When we found out about it, we were very excited to see that

their work was very close to what we’re doing. So we want to provide support to this program and also somehow integrate it into the provincial initiative.”

McKay said the provincial pilot program is called the Civil Service Reserve Team (CSRT), and is open to any government employee who wants to volunteer to help out in emergency situations.

“The province recognizes that

during disaster situations, we don’t always have the necesssary resources,” said McKay. “We also recognize that there are a lot of folks that would like to volunteer for this type of work, so about a year ago, the province sarted a pilot project where we took government employees and outfitted them and trained them to support the front-line emergency responders.”

The CSRT proved its worth dur-

ing a number of events last year including wildfires in the north, said McKay. The CSRT volunteers do a variety of tasks from working in reception centres to moving emergency equipment and everything in between.

work that was launched two years ago by the province is also being integrated into the CSRT project.

The CSRT program was so successful the provincial office of Emergency Management and Fire Safety is recommending it be rolled out province-wide, said McKay. “That’s where the Warman program fits in very well,” he said. “It’s a common sense approach that utilizes community volunteers who are specially trained. It makes a lot of sense.”

A sizeable turnout of volunteers were at the initial training session for WERT on Thursday, June 2 at the Legends Centre. During the session, volunteers

The basic training modules include first aid, safety, hazard awareness and incident command structure.

Warman EMO Coordinator Randy Meginbir talks to WERT volunteers at a training session June 2

WERT program, told participants that once they are trained, they’ll become an integral part of the community’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).

“Proper communication and a chain of command is critical during disasters,” said Meginbir, who has 35 years of experience in emergency services. “The most

important element is safety. A lot of people get hurt in the immediate aftermath of a disaster because they overlook basic safety in their desire to help out right away. They think with their hearts instead of their heads. We want you to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. We will work with you to get you trained so you’re not at risk to yourself or others.”

Meginbir said the WERT program is an ongoing initaitive, with training sessions scheduled at regular intervals.

Additional volunteers are always welcome, he said.

Applications are available at the Legends Centre and at Warman City Hall.

MARTENSVILLE-WARMAN CONSTITUENCY

Keeping Saskatchewan Strong: Budget 2016

Last week Finance Minister Kevin Doherty tabled Saskatchewan’s 2016-17 Budget.

This budget is part of our government’s responsible and affordable plan to keep Saskatchewan strong.

Despite a challenging year for the province’s finances, there are no tax increases and no new taxes to ensure we continue to attract people and investment to Saskatchewan.

We will instead focus on controlling spending to keep the province’s finances strong with a plan to return to balance next year. This is very unique in Canada right now as other jurisdictions pursue long-term deficits with often no plan to get back to balance.

We are also making key investments in infrastructure and people, and we are doing what we said we would do. This includes fixing more roads as part of our Highways 2020 Plan and helping post-secondary graduates with the down payment on their first home through the Graduate Retention Program First Home Plan.

To ensure the sustainability of high-quality public services delivered in the most efficient, effective way possible, this budget also marks the beginning of a government-wide process of transformational change.

Questions to be asked as part of this review process include: * Is this program or service the role of government?

If so, is it being delivered in the best possible manner, at the lowest possible cost to taxpayers? * Where similar programs with similar objectives exist, can those multiple programs be combined into one that provides better results at less cost? * Could a different governance model provide administrative savings while still remaining responsive to the needs of Saskatchewan people?

At the same time, government will also take a close look at its revenue sources to ensure they are sustainable and to guard against too much dependence on volatile revenue sources such as oil and potash. The overall objectives of our province’s revenue system must always be to keep Saskatchewan strong by keeping our economy strong and to ensure government revenues are sufficient to ensure important programs and services are sustainable now and in the future. That means a tax system that is competitive, simple and fair for all Saskatchewan taxpayers.

By keeping taxes low, controlling spending and investing in much needed infrastructure projects like highways, schools and hospitals, we will help Saskatchewan’s economy through a difficult year. While there is more work ahead, this budget is an important step forward to maintain the Saskatchewan advantage and keep our province strong.

Many of you have been wondering whether the new interchanges at Warman and Martensville will be affected by the shortfall in revenue that the province has been experiencing. I am happy to report that these projects are proceeding as planned, and tenders for the first phase of the project will be going out shortly.

In response to increasing safety concerns at the busy intersection of Highway 11 and Wanuskewin Road, the Ministry of Highways has closed Range Road 3052 (the north extension of Wanuskewin Road) at Highway 11 to cross-traffic, and to left turns from Highway 11 northbound to Range Road 3052. This will reduce the number of points where collisions can potentially occur.

This builds on the numerous safety features in place at the intersection, including: * Dedicated left turn lanes on Highway 11 to Wanuskewin Road; * Ramps to and from Wanuskewin Road on Highway 11; * Area lighting, including lighting the median; * “Important Intersection Ahead” signs with flashing amber lights in both directions on Highway 11. * Rumble strips on Wanuskewin road * Double oversize stop signs with flashing lights on Wanuskewin Road.

Going forward, we will work with the municipal governments to monitor traffic so we can evaluate whether these changes are having the intended benefits.

PSSD Finance Director witnessed changes over career

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Jim Shields has seen a lot of changes over the last three decades.

The Chief Financial Officer with Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) is retiring this summer after more than thirty years as a financial officer with a number of school divisions in Saskatchewan.

“It’s been a fulfilling career for me,” said Shields in an interview at the PSSD office on Wednesday, May 25.

“There are some aspects of this job that I’ll miss, like the people I work with every day.

“On the other hand, I sure won’t miss fielding questions about taxes and education funding.”

After working in the accounting field for several companies, Shields was hired as the assistant secretary-treasurer with the Last Mountain School Division in 1986.

“I remember my first day on the job,” said Shields with a grin. “It was just at that time when computer technology was starting to be more affordable, and personal computers were just beginning to come in.

“I was hired to look after payroll, accounting and also to implement the technology. I had dabbled a bit in computers and I knew my way around DOS, but really it was pretty simplistic stuff. However, nobody in the office had ever used a computer, so it was all new to them.”

He said when he first be-

Prairie Spirit School Division Chief Financial Officer Jim Shields gan at Last Mountain School Division, all the payroll and accounting was done manually. The cheques were handdelivered to individual employees.

“It was pretty labour-intensive,” he said.

Shields said the Last Mountain School Division bought a computer at that time for about $7,000. The machine had a specially-designed case for transporting from school to school.

“It was a big investment in those days,” he said. “Now you can do more on an iPad or smart phone.”

Technology is a “tool” that’s made a significant impact in all areas of education, not just in the classroom, but also in administration, said Shields.

“The computer was always promoted as a device to make our life easier, and to reduce costs,” said Shields. “To a large extent that’s true, but at the same time, we can do so much more with technology, and we’re expected to do so much more, that it’s actually added

to the workload in a lot of respects.”

Shields started in the Last Mountain School Division office in Govan about the same time his new bride got her first teaching job in Outlook.

“We lived apart for the first year and a half,” he said.

“Then we both got jobs in Kindersley, she got a teaching position and I was hired by the school division.”

After eight months in Kindersley, Shields was hired by the Saskatoon East School Division office and he and his wife relocated once again. That was in 1989. He worked with that school division until December, 2004; when he took on a dual role as financial officer for Saskatoon East and Sask Valley School Divisions.

“This was at the time when the school divisions were looking at amalgamations,” said Shields. “When Dale Clark retired from Sask Valley, I took that job and they didn’t backfill my position at Saskatoon East.”

The amalgamation of Saskatoon East, Saskatoon West and Sask Valley School Divisions took place in 2006, and Shields became Chief Financial Officer for PSSD. “I was looking back at our budgets over the years,” said Shields. “At Last Mountain School Division in 1986 our total budget was about $3 or $4 million annually. Then in Kindersley it was about $7 million. Saskatoon East was just over $10 million and Sask Valley was about $25 million.

“Now we have an annual budget at Prairie Spirit of

about $100 million.

“The numbers are a lot bigger, and the responsibilities that go along with those numbers have also gotten bigger.”

Shields said he learned early on that his role was much more than simply crunching numbers.

“It’s really about understanding what the needs are for the school division,” said Shields. “In order to do that, you really need to understand what is going on in the world of education, because your work is to support the core business of the school division, which is education.”

Drafting a budget for a school division brings many factors into play, said Shields.

“You have to make sure you draw the links between different line items in the budget,” he said. “You also have to be a good communicator so that you can take what’s in the budget and explain it in plain English so that it makes sense to people.

“I’m not big on jargon. I prefer to use clear language and common sense.”

Shields is also prone to using humour in his public presentations and discussions around the board table.

“Humour is a big part of who I am,” he said. “I just like to joke around a lot. It helps to laugh at yourself or your situation once in a while. Otherwise you won’t enjoy your work.”

Shields said while technological changes over the last thirty years have been dramatic,there are also oth-

er, more subtle changes in education that he considers positive.

“School buildings have really changed, both inside and out,” he said. “They are no longer designed as rectangular boxes. They have open spaces and encourage different kinds of learning.

“We also have changes in the classroom. They don’t just line up the desks in rows anymore. There are areas outside the classroom where teachers can work one-onone with students if they need to.

“It’s aimed at inclusive learning, so that every student can be part of the group and still have their different

educational needs met appropriately.”

Shields said he’s hopeful that the chronic financial crunch the school division has faced in the last several years will ease.

“It takes a lot of energy to deal with that stuff,” he said.

“That is energy that’s better suited for helping students in the classroom.

“Students in this school division are achieving at a very high level, according to the Ministry of Education’s own statistics. As a school division, our core business is ensuring we have the resources necessary so that teachers can teach and students can learn.”

Bitner loves life in Dalmeny said Bitner. They were able to build up “lover’s lane,” a dirt road behind the nursing home, and channel excess water to new holding ponds east of town.

Streets have also been named after former councilor Harvey Nelson and Doug Shanks, a previous councilor who sat on the local school board for a number of years, Mireau said.

Bitner has only good things to say about his life in Dalmeny. “The kids were involved in sports, youth groups and music and it was just a great life for them growing up.”

Bitner ‘s vacation time has been practically non-existent. “My oldest son is 32. The last time I had a real holiday I was still feeding him Pablum!” He enjoys other involvements like being part of the Bitner Brass, and with hockey. He’s in no panic to retire but has started to look at a couple of options for down the road.

“I still know I made the right choice and I’m very happy with the choice I made to be here and with my involvement. That to me is the important thing. I’ve enjoyed being in business here. The rest has just been a bonus.”

That place in history? It was already there. It’s just more visible now.

RUSH REPEAT

Cornwall nets championship winner in dramatic fashion

By WAYNE SHIELS essenceofsask@gmail.com Pro sports teams rarely win back-to-back championships in seperate cities.

But the Saskatchewan Rush are a rare breed.

Having won Game 1 of the best of three National Lacrosse League (NLL) championship final series, the Rush were more than ready to host the Buffalo Bandits at SaskTel Centre on Saturday, June 4.

The building was packed to the rafters with fans and media in anticipation of something special happening in Saskatchewan sports history. What they got was something epic, especially the ending.

With the crowd at fever pitch the Rush got off to a quick two-point lead on goals by Mark Matthews and Curtis Knight. The Bandits settled in and were able to score the next three goals that set the tone for back and forth action. Ben MacIntosh tied the game before Buffalo star Dhane Smith gave the Bandits the lead again.

Early in the second quarter Curtis Knight brought the home team even again. Alex Kedoh gave the Bandits the lead. With less than 5 seconds in the half Rush sniper Zach Greer made the score 5-5 when he beat a screened Anthony Cosmos on a long shot.

There was more of the same in the second half.

The Bandits built up a 9-7 third quarter lead on goals

by Nick Weiss, Ryan Benesch, Mark Steinhuis and Dhane Smith, while goals

by Ben McIntosh and Zach Greer kept it close. Robert Church came up big with two goals 26 seconds apart in the final five and a half minutes to give the Rush a

10-9 lead. Kevin Brownell responded for the Bandits, tieing the game 10-10 to set up the the big finish: With 30 seconds to go the Bandits had possession and called a timeout to set up a play to hopefully give them the victory and a deciding third game in Buffalo. Rush fans were hoping for a stop and an opportunity in overtime.

They got much more.

The Bandits’ shot went wide of the net and rebounded high in the air. Rush defender Jeff Cornwall gained possesion and used his blazing speed to pull away and bury his shot top corner with 12 seconds left on the clock.

To say that over 15,000 fans at SaskTel Centre went crazy is an understatement.

Post-game, Cornwall talked about the play.

“The ball went wide and I had a chance to run under it. That is something I practice quite often. When I had the chance in front of me I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I put a lot of hours practicing that exact shot.

“I wanted to come up big PHOTOS BY WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE for my teammates because Saskatchewan Rush players and fans celebrate the team’s championship win at SaskTel Centre last weekend they were huge all game” Playoff MVP Aaron Bold made the last of his 47 saves on the Bandits’ last-second attempt, securing the victory. The 11-10 score was the exact score that the Rush had defeated the Toronto Rock a year ago to win their first championship.

Another year, another city, same result.

Thus ended one of the great stories in North American professional sports in 2016. The way the people of the province have embraced this sport and the Rush is incredible.

The team repaid those fans Jeff Cornwall takes 70-goal scorer Dhane Smith out of the play. Cornwall’s Captain Chris Corbeil accepts Champions Cup from Commisioner Nick Sakiewicz with a great victory at home. breakaway goal with 12 seconds left was the championship-winning goal.

said Small, an RCC member for close to 20 years.

“They sure looked like they were having a lot of fun.

It was really great for us to hear what they’ve learned already in a short period of time and then to see how competitive they were against each other and how much they were intererested in learning.”

Small said historically, when parents would get to a certain age, they would quit golfing and spend more time with their kids. “What we’re encouraging and I think what we’re seeing more of, is dads are bringing the kids out to the driving range and family golf.”

Having young Canadians like Graham DeLaet and Brooke Henderson out on the LPGA and the PGA tours is really helping to promote golf in Canada, she said.

The RCC welcomes updates from the school on how the program is going.

Small said they’re going to bring a bunch of used balls and clubs for the students use when they take their game outside.

O’Reilly said once they’ve got the safety and other protocols down, they’ll be practicing outside, possibly as soon as Friday, using 9 irons and pitching wedges, but no drivers yet. “The kids are dying to do the full swing,” he said, something they can’t do indoors.

volved in a sport that teaches a lot of life lessons and is something they can play for life.

GIS is a national program that has been endorsed by the likes of Graham DeLaet. It’s the first intermediate kit to be introduced in Saskatchewan. Elementary (Grades 1-5) and high school (grades 9-12) kits are also available. Brendan O’Reilly, senior resource room teacher, and PhysEd teacher said the program has been going great thus far.

“We have a wonderful teacher’s’ guide to go along with the kit,” said O’Reilly.

“It gives you some really good tips, some drills and some fun activities for the kids to do.

“The other thing it’s also done is given us an opportunity to talk about some of the things that are important to the game of golf in terms of respect, etiquette, perseverance, integrity, which was a big one, and safety.”

Before the students began their demonstrations, O’Reilly asked them questions about these things and students revealed the knowledge they’ve already gained from the course. Then they lined up at one end of the gym and pitched, putted and chipped, while representatives from RCC looked on.

“There were some pretty good swings there. I was pretty impressed,”

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Practicing golf drills was a fun way to start the school day for Grade 8 students in Clavet on Wednesday. As they putted, chipped and pitched balls across the gym, they demonstrated the effectiveness of the Golf in Schools (GIS) program which recently came to Clavet Composite School thanks to Riverside Country Club (RCC).

RCC hosted the Canadian Women’s Amateur Golf Tournament last year and had some resources left over following their fund-raising efforts for the tournament.

“We had a lot of community support for the tournament in terms of sponsorship and volunteers and, as part of the legacy and giving back to the community, we wanted to donate this Golf in Schools kit to a school with junior high students in grades six to eight,” said Laura Small, president of the RCC. Since the Riverside Golf Course is in the RM of Corman Park, as is Clavet, RCC chose that school to donate the kit to.

The kit includes indoor golf equipment and a curriculum to help instructors teach kids how to golf.

The kit was developed by Golf Canada in conjunction with Physical & Health Education Canada. RCC anticipates the program will help get more young people inContinued from page 17

Prairie Spirit SD trustees review lockdown protocol for schools

By BRENDA ERICKSON PSSD Communications Lori Jeschke, Learning Superintendent, Dave Carter, Coordinator of Schools and Learning, and Diane Kendall, Coordinator of Schools and Learning, represented the Division’s Safe Schools team and presented to the Board at the May 2 Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) board of education meeting.

Jeschke provided an overview of the lockdown procedure and how students and staff have become proficient in following protocol.

“We are doing everything we can to keep our staff and students safe and to respond to whatever might happen,” she explained. “This is big work that we are doing.”

Diane Kendall explained the school division’s role in the Community Threat Assessment and Support Protocol (CTASP). This protocol focuses on gathering information to assess the level of risk of violence at a school, in partnership with local police, mental health support and other community agencies.

The Safe Schools team also explained how students are being supported outside Prairie Spirit classrooms. These students are considered “home-bound,” due to health issues or threat of violence against staff or stu-

dents. These students are being well supported, with the ultimate goal of returning to the classroom. “I’m impressed we have such a strong process for working with students who need extra support,” said Trustee Dawne Badrock.

Learning Support Services (LSS) in Prairie Spirit Susan Protz, Coordinator of Schools and Learning, Holly Kruger, Registered Psychologist, Julie Mutch, Speech Language Pathologist, and Marnya Sokol, Occupational Therapist, made a presentation to the Board about the supports provided by their team of specialists.

They articulated that their role is to support school teams to meet student learning outcomes and to increase each student’s independence.

Each LSS member has a focus school for the 2015/16 school year. All schools receive support, but each LSS member spends more time in a specific school throughout this year. Using this model allows the LSS staff to provide more support and to build more capacity. Because they are spending more time in the school, they feel like part of the staff team.

“Focusing on strong relationships has helped us become more effective,” said Mutch. Sokol spoke about the benefit of getting to know

students better in the context of their own school. “Because I’m at the school more often, I can work more collaboratively with teachers and EAs,” she added.

Kruger explained that as a result of being in one school throughout the year, she has had a more consistent schedule for supporting teachers and has felt more connected and involved. She was part of parent/teacher interviews this year.

Protz talked about the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation and working to support each other within this team of specialists.

Gospel Jamboree raises funds for charitable work in Mexico

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca After more than a decade of building homes for families in a poverty-ravaged section of Juarez, Mexico; volunteers with Christlike Ministries in Warman are branching out.

“We’re completing a church that we started last year, and we’re going to be building a halfway house for prisoners who have served their sentences,” said Frank Guenther, President of the evangelical Christian organization’s board of directors.

“We’re working with prison officials, as well as the local church in Juarez, which will operate it once it’s complete. It’s a 12-bedroom building with a kitchen and a small gym. The idea is to provide the prisoners with a place to stay once they are released, and help them integrate back into society.”

The halfway house is a logical step for the organization, which does missionary work inside the prison in Juarez to help rehabilitate prisoners, said Guenther.

Christlike Ministries was founded in 2002. Local volunteers with the non-profit organization have been making annual trips to Juarez for 14 years, where they work with local people to build basic, functional homes for poor families.

Frank Guenther “It gives us great joy to be part of these people’s lives,” said Guenther. “They’re not as fortunate as we are here in Canada. We live in a country that’s blessed with so much bountiful wealth, and down there the poverty is just unbelievable.”

Guenther said in addition to building houses, the organization provides food for the hungry and ministers to those in need.

“Our aim is to encourage the people to better their lives by teaching them practical skills and telling them about God’s love,” said Guenther. “The Mexican people in this part of Juarez may not have much in the way of material goods, but they have strong family values and we’ve built good relationships with them over the years.”

The next work mission to Juarez will leave this fall, said Guenther. To help fund

the ongoing effort, the organization stages a threeday gospel music jamboree every June in Warman, showcasing some of the finest musical talent in North America. Combined with traditional Mennonite food, it makes for a wonderful weekend, said Guenther.

The event is slated for June 24-26 at the Brian King Centre.

“This year we’re bringing in several new groups as well as some old favourites,” he said. “We have Double Portion and the Ben Johnson Family from Saskatchewan; Ken and Millie Jackson from Calgary; and the Fraser Valley Quartet out of BC.” The big draw this year, he said, are two groups from the United States: The Master’s Voice from Oklahoma City; and the Allen Family from Branson, Missouri.

Tickets for the jamboree are available at the door or by phoning 306-933-2834.

OWNING THE SKY Robert Ofstie flies the lead jet in this three ship formation high over the Canadian Rockies. In a close formation, he says planes can be about six to 10 feet apart.

Making a fighter pilot, slaking a dream

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Robert Ofstie first got hooked on flying while watching crop dusters roar overhead on lazy summer days. That fascination began when he was four or five.

“A fellow by the name of Roland Jenson owned the local crop-dusting air spray outfit in Outlook and he used to come and do aerial application of our farm,” said Ofstie. “And I fell in love with aviation.” The low-level flying and execution of the turns was impressive to him.

When one field was done, Ofstie would ride his bike down to the next one.

Over time that fascination grew into a dream to be a fighter pilot. Ofstie is now well on the way to realizing his dream. It hasn’t been easy but he has never wavered from his goal.

For starters, he paid for his own flying lessons at age 16 with money saved from working for his Dad on the family farm near Outlook, but didn’t have enough to complete them.

When the family quit farming, Ofstie moved to Alberta where he got his Private Pilot License at age 17. He then began working on his Commercial Helicopter Pilot License

and became a helicopter pilot for the oilfields in northern Alberta over the next seven or eight years. But the dream was still very much alive.

“All this time I had always wanted to join the Royal Canadian Air Force. That was my end goal,” said Ofstie. He had applied to the Air Force after high school but didn’t have the grades.

northern Alberta. He says he has absolutely no immediate or extended family in either aviation or the military. After five years he worked his way up to the rank of Bombardier, and reapplied for the air force, in a “component transfer” from the army reserves to the ‘regular forces.’

“I rewrote some entrance exams, they looked at my application and said, ’you meet the requirements now for this new program we have’.”

It’s called the Continuing Education Officer Training Plan (CEOTP) at Seneca College. The program offers a new entry plan that can produce operational pilots for the Air Force quicker than previous programs. Ofstie is part of a group of 11 who are the first to go through the program.

Ofstie did basic officer training in Quebec and flying training in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba for Phase 1. “It’s a selection course and there’s a lot of losses,” he said.

In Phase 2, the “meat and potatoes of pilot training in the Air Force,” he learned how to be a military aviator, completing about 90 to 100 hours in the CT-156 Harvard II aircraft, in Moose Jaw. “It’s an advanced turbo-

‘‘

Everything I did was to try to improve my competitiveness to become a desired applicant for the Air Force

“I didn’t apply myself very hard in high school and I didn’t get accepted in as a pilot. It’s very competitive. But I didn’t let that deter me. I kept pushing and everything I did was to try to improve my competitiveness and improve myself to become a desired applicant for the Air Force.”

Ofstie joined the army reserves and continued commercial helicopter flying in

prop military trainer tandem-seat with two ejection seats. It has a top speed of about a 360 mph. It’s a very quick, beautiful little trainer, very capable.”

For Phase 3, trainees branch off into multi-engine aircraft or helicopter training in Portage La Prairie, or fighter pilot training in Moose Jaw. Ofstie earned his wings in the latter.

“There’s a big ‘wings’ ceremony at the base with a parade and your family comes down. We did an 8-ship formation together with the Harvards for our friends and family. It was pretty cool,” said Ofstie.

Bring on the jet aircraft! In Phase 4, pilots move on to the CT-155 Hawk Fighter Leadin Trainer. The Hawk helps pilots transition to the fighter jet and prepare for CF-18 training in Cold Lake. Ofstie flew about 60 hours on the Hawk and completed Phase 4 successfully.

There’s been some fun along the way. As a life-long Roughriders fan, Ofstie loved watching the jets rage over the stadium at the Labour Day Classic. “Last year I got to do the flyover for the Labour Day Classic,” he said.

“I wasn’t flying the jet, I got to be a back-seater and help

navigate. We did a formation of two Hawks over the stadium. That was a dream come true for me and I finally got to do it!”

He also got to do a low-level navigation mission in the Hawk over his farm. “Getting to rip around at 250 feet above ground and 480 mph as a Saskatchewan boy in my own back yard was pretty cool.” That was a planned syllabus mission in the Military Low-Level Flying Area that encompasses most of southern Saskatchewan. The Hawk’s top speed is Mach 1.2.

Currently, Ofstie is studying at Seneca College in Toronto to finish his Bachelor of Aviation Technology Degree. It’s a one-year course that runs from January to December.

Then it’s back in the air for the tactical course on the Hawk in Cold Lake, Alberta. “If I’m successful at that course I move on to the CF18 Hornet,” another level of qualification.

There’s “many different pages” of training, but Ofstie intends to go the distance.

“I’ve always wanted to be a fighter pilot since I was a

kid.” He laughs and adds, “Of course everybody has seen Top Gun.” Asked what has made him successful thus far, Ofstie points to hard work and perseverance. “I didn’t give up on my dream. I didn’t take no for an answer. It didn’t just fall into my lap. But I knew this is what I want, this is my dream. Everything I do is going to be focused on this and I’m going to make it happen for me.”

He says its not just flying that appeals to him, it’s the whole culture of the Air Force. “It’s a brotherhood, you’re a team, you’re comrades. You’ve gone through the last four years of training, you’ve had ups and downs and you do it all together. That group dynamic is unlike anything you get anywhere else.”

Ofstie encourages kids to never give up on chasing their dream. For those interested in aviation, CEOTP is an excellent program for people right out of high school, he says. Interested applicants are welcome to contact their local recruitment centre.

Bethany College in Hepburn launches discipleship program Over the past 15 months, the Bethany Vision group prayerfully considered the advantages and disadvantages of the various aspects of a one year discipleship program, including: staffing, financial stability, governance and location.

They engaged in prayer and discernment, conversations (with alumni and church leaders), focus groups (adult and youth), online survey (over 450 responses), and connecting with other schools and programs. The vision group presented two options to the Bethany Board on March 19, 2016 and through prayerful deliberation, the vote was unanimous to pursue a “NEW” one year discipleship program on the Hepburn campus for Fall 2017.

The existing facility and campus are providing the fertile soil for the people of Hepburn to dream. Collaborative projects have been quietly building and people are rallying around the idea of taking a promising campus and exploding its potential. Partnerships with the Prairie Spirit School Division and other interested organizations will create

a multi-program community campus in Hepburn---in turn, this will provide opportunities for students to engage and interact as part of a broader community.

Sharing the campus with other organizations focused on education and community service will also contribute to financial stability for the campus and discipleship program. A significant gifting from a foundation has nurtured the germination of this idea.

The Saskatchewan Mennonite Brethren Conference met in March 2015 on Bethany College’s campus, with a focus on John 12:24. “I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” The SKMB Developmental Leadership Team (DLT) - focusing discipleship and leadership development initiatives in our province-celebrates new signs of life in the area of young adult discipleship which are emerging on several fronts within the province. This team is working prayerfully towards collaboration among the various initiatives that will lead to a new

vitality and depth of discipleship and programming.

The Bethany Board is beginning to see some of the new growth that is sprouting as a result of the Bethany seed that was sown.

There are exciting steps being taken to carve new frontiers in discipleship training in an eight month modular program supporting and extending the efforts of the church that feeds Head, Heart and Hands. The vision starts with a discipleship extension program, working with our churches to disciple and mentor young people in preparation of sending them, for a season, to immerse themselves in a journey of discovery, development and service. The students will experience mentorship by staff that will walk alongside them in each component experiencing a range of cultural realities.

More details of the program and campus will unfold as we grow the one year discipleship program in anticipation of Fall 2017 launch.

Please stay connected with Bethany through our website http://bethany. sk.ca/ or our Facebook pages (Bethany College Alumni and Bethany College).
