Bordered by canola fields, crowds head into Ag in Motion on Wednesday. Ag in Motion is western Canada’s largest outdoor farm show, attracting attendees from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and beyond. The three-day show ran from July 19 to 21 and featured live demonstrations and crop plots, sprawling over a half section of land just west of Langham. See story on page 3.

Blood supply down, Aberdeen, Hague, Dalmeny, donations needed Osler, Rosthern on list for

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca With the August long weekend coming up, there is a huge need for more blood donations to ensure an adequate supply for medical emergencies, according to Canadian Blood Services (CBS).

Canadian Blood Services is calling on 40 donors in Warman and area to help meet patient needs this summer. The next opportunity to donate blood is a mobile clinic at the Brian King Centre in Warman on Monday August 1. The clinic is open 4 - 8 p.m.

Currently, the national blood inventory for six of the eight blood types, including O positive, O negative, A positive, A negative, B negative and AB negative, is below eight days supply, which is considered a serious shortage. Only two blood types: B positive and AB positive, have inventories over ten days supply.

CBS is encouraging donors to book an appointment to give blood by using the Give Blood App or by visiting the blood.ca website.

The screening process for donors has been simplified and can now be done online by donors when they book their appointments.

Those with appointments are encouraged to keep their appointment and, if possible, bring a friend or family member to donate with them. Walk-ins are also welcome.

Canadian Blood Services manages the national supply of blood, blood products and stem cells, and related services for all the provinces and territories (excluding Quebec). The non-profit agency operates an integrated, pan-Canadian service delivery model that includes leading an interprovincial system for organ donation and transplantation.

private liquor store bids

The application process for retail liquor store permits in 20 more communities begins this week.

The provincial government announced on Monday, July 25 that the communities include: Aberdeen, Battleford, Carrot River, Dalmeny, Hague, Hudson Bay, Kelvington, Osler, Outlook, Preeceville, Rosetown, Rosthern, Shellbrook, St. Walburg, Tisdale, Unity, Wadena, Wakaw, Waskesiu and Wilkie.

Successful proponents will be selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. There is one opportunity available in each of the 20 communities.

“This third round of RFPs includes communities outside of the province’s cities,” Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Don McMorris said. “For this round, successful proponents for these locations will have the option to operate an integrated or standalone retail operation.”

In November 2015, government announced changes that will see an expanded private liquor retail system in Saskatchewan. This includes the conversion of 40 existing government liquor stores to private opportunities as well as the addition of 11 new retail opportunities. Conversion of the Melfort liquor store will take place in 2019 when its current lease expires.

The RFP documents outline details relating to criteria, process, timelines and other relevant information pertaining to obtaining a retail store permit.

The Grasswood Fillies practice maneuvers at the Grasswood Horse Park on Monday

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

More are horsing around at Grasswood Horse Park

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Horse lovers in South Corman Park launched the Grasswood Horse Park (GHP) in 2012, turning a 50acre ‘field of dreams’ into a developing equine facility. Since then, they’ve been gradually growing the vision for the park and potentially, its users.

“We have our outdoor riding arena, we host clinics and barrel jackpots, and the Grasswood Fillies use it a lot for their drill practices,” says Lauretta Hannay, vice-president of GHP.

“We also have a trail that’s cut all the way around the property through the trees.”

Probably the biggest perk of the park is providing a safe place to ride for horse lovers in the area. Located immediately south of the South Corman Park School at the corner of Baker Road and a south extension of Preston Ave, the park is centrally located for many residents of South Corman Park. Riders appreciate being able to avoid the dangers of grid roads.

The horse park hosts a

range of events. The Saskatchewan Barrel Racing Association (SBRA) holds qualifying jackpots at GHP. “They love our arena for the dirt,” Hannay said. Clinicians come out to conduct horsemanship clinics for members and the GHP holds gymkhanas about once a month.

The trails are open to walkers, joggers, crosscountry skiers and horse people. No motorized vehicles, bikes or dogs are allowed.

“This year we’ve really jumped leaps and bounds

with having the park being used. The word is getting out!” said Hannay.

Future plans for the park include an additional arena, bleachers, an announcer stand and sound system for the gymkhanas, and a natural obstacle course.

There is an existing obstacle course for practicing, but a natural course would be permanently built right into the land with little ravines and bridges, she said.

A sea can on the property holds some equipment and a concession, which operates at SBRA events and

gymkhanas, and is available for GHP rentals.

The Grasswood Fillies are 65 members strong and big supporters of GHP. The group engaged in some fund-raising efforts this year and donated $2,000 to the park, Hannay said. A lot of them come out to use the park.

“It’s a good meeting spot that is kind of central for all of us and the ground is always good.” Members often gather informally after checking in on Facebook.

Hannay says the Fillies have been practicing some

maneuvers and are gearing up to do a Friends and Family night at the park to show people what they’ve been working on.

“Our goal is to be in the Equine Expo in February.” It’s a huge horse show and trade show held at the Prairieland Exhibition in Saskatoon. Hannay said they’ve got some work to do before then, but further down the road, they would also like to compete, possibly at equestrian competitions in Alberta.

Clearly, the dream doesn’t stop with just the field!

rector Rob O’Connor said they got off to a great start.

“The numbers look like we were about 50 per cent higher on our attendance figures and of course the show is just that much bigger as well; there’s that many more demonstrations for people to see.”

Approaching the site heading west on Highway 16, you

see what appears to be a tent city just past Langham.

Once you get to the show, you see that this temporary ‘city’ in a farmer’s field has street signs, shuttles from the parking lot and air-conditioned bathrooms – some comforts for show-goers.

There was also up to 18 food trucks and a bar onsite.

Ag in Motion featured

over 300 exhibitors, a number of sample crop plots and live outdoor demonstrations.

In one straight-combining demonstration, a Jaguar combine took a swath from a crop, funneling the harvest into a grain truck driving alongside and leaving behind clean stubble.

“Most of the crop plots were planted between the

middle of May and the first of June this year. We’ve had fantastic weather conditions and we’ve had just the right amount of moisture here at Langham. I think it really helped to make those crops look fantastic,” said O’Connor. “There’s a corn plot and the corn is already eight feet high. It’s phenomenal to see something like

that.”

The show offered specific programs for people looking to meet specific needs. The demonstration program was focused around tillage and seeding this year. “We think that’s the equipment people

(Left to right) Doug McLeay, Kim McLeay, Joanna Wiebe, Melissa MacPherson, Matthew McLeay, Alicia Klassen of the Wagon Wheel restaurant in Warman When Doug and Kim McLeay moved to Warman in 2005, their favourite dining spot was the Wagon Wheel restaurant. There was something about the homestyle menu and atmosphere that struck a chord with them.

So when the opportunity came up in 2009 to buy the business from the original owners who started the restaurant in 1980, Doug and Kim didn’t hesitate.

With their wealth of experience in the food service industry, they knew the Wagon Wheel had a winning recipe for success.

“It was a great opportunity for us, and it came at a great time,” said Doug. “The owners were ready to retire and we wanted a new challenge, so it worked out well for everyone.

“It was pretty seamless transition,” he continued. “The previous owners’ last day of business was a Saturday, and on Sunday we came in and did our transition, moved a few things and basically got set up. And

then we opened Monday morning, June 1, 2009, and it was business as usual, serving the same loyal customers that had been coming here for years.

We retained all the staff at that time, and a lot of them are still with us today.”

Doug said that while they’re continually reinvesting in the decor and tweaking the menu to stay up with current trends, the restaurant has stayed true to the original vision: a pleasant, family-oriented atmosphere with good wholesome food and friendly personalized service.

“Our menu has a lot of local favourites that we never strayed from,” said Doug. “We have meat and potatoes and homemade pie. Everybody always has room for dessert.”

Doug said in addition to longstanding menu traditions like perogies, farmers sausage and kielke, the restaurant is famous for two other unique dishes: one traditional and one new.

“Our homemade chicken noo-

dle soup is made from a recipe that’s probably 100 years old,” said Doug. “People would come here from miles around for a bowl of soup, and we knew that, so we’ve kept that tradition. It tastes like your grandma used to make.

“The other favourite item is our pumpkin cheesecake. Kim came up with the recipe, and we tried it out at the Taste of Warman event a few years ago.

It was a big hit, so of course it made it onto the menu.”

The fully-licensed restaurant serves cold beer and wine by the glass, and currently has a seasonal summer menu featuring a variety of speciality burgers.

Doug said the food preparation begins with brand-name products. “All our menu items are cooked fresh to order,” he said. “We invite you to try our family restaurant with your family for an experience you can count on.”

Proposed cell tower location upsets Martensville residents

central street makeover

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Construction crews continue work on rebuilding the base of Central Street West in Warman in preparation for paving this fall. Central Street between First Avenue North and Crystal Springs Drive is being raised and widened, with boulevards and sidewalks added. This project is one of several road improvements currently underway over the summer.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A proposal by Rogers Communications to construct a 35 meter cell phone tower adjacent on the Martensville Mission Church property on 5th Avenue North is meeting resistance from area residents.

The proposal was submitted to the city by Land Solutions LP on behalf of Rogers Communications on June 16, with July 22 being the closing date for public feedback on the project.

The 35 meter tripole facility would be situated behind the church building. It would have a locked groundlevel equipment cabinet and the top portion of the tower would include a covering with a cross on it.

In its application, Rogers Communications states the tower is necessary to provide continuous wireless coverage and added cellular capacity for the surrounding area. The application notes the cell tower complies with all federal safety and health regulations.

But many neighbourhood residents are objecting to the site of the proposed tower and the lack of public consultation. At least ten property owners in the area contacted the city to register their opposition to the project in the last few weeks.

The issue was raised at the Martensville City Council meeting on Tuesday, July

19. The telecommunications company submitted a package of information on the project to the city in June.

Councilors expressed concern about the process, and suggested the communications company should have done more in the way of public consultations.

While the city does not regulate cell phone towers, it provides input in the form of a letter of concurrence or non-concurrence to the federal agency (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada) which makes the final decision on these projects.

Martensville recently adopted a policy on siting antennas that requires cell towers to be located a minimum of 200 meters from the nearest residential properties, but the application by Rogers Communications was submitted prior to the formal adoption of the new policy. The proposed Rogers tower would be situated 10.2 meters (35 feet) from the nearest residential properties, with six meters of that distance being a back lane.

The City of Martensville currently has two existing SaskTel cell towers located on 9th Street North and 1st Avenue North. There is also a third SaskTel tower approved for Kinsmen Park near 10th Avenue North to serve the city’s growing north-eastern neighbourhoods.

Martensville city planners expressed concern in a report to the July 19 council meeting that the submission

by Rogers Communications did not include any information on the specific coverage area that would be served by the new tower.

They also indicated that Rogers Communications did not appear to fully consider the possibility of “piggybacking” on the two existing SaskTel cell phone towers. Without solid data on coverage areas, the city is not able to help the company determine the optimum location for any proposed tower, according to city planners.

In the past, public hearings regarding cell tower applications have been handled as a discretionary use under the city’s zoning bylaw. However, the neighbourhood chosen by Rogers for the proposed tower does not list towers as a discretionary use.

City councilors agreed to direct the civic administration to have informal discussions with the communications company with the aim of extending the public consultation process and seeking additional information and data to allow the city to make a more informed decision.

The issue is expected to come back before council at its next meeting in early August.

Warman okays commercial zoning for Southlands parcel

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca An amendment to the zoning bylaw for the Southlands commercial and industrial development was approved by Warman City Council at its regular meeting on Monday, July 25.

The amendment allows for the rezoning of the parcel of land recently annexed

by the city from the RM of Corman Park, from UH - Urban Holdings zoning to C1Commercial and M1 - Industrial.

UPDATES TO ZONING

The city also introduced first reading of a bylaw to update its municipal zoning bylaw. The last time the zoning bylaw was updated was

2006, noted Warman Planning and Development Manager Brad Toth.

“The planning department has been working with council and other groups in the community to update the zoning bylaw,” said Toth. “The proposed bylaw includes a number of changes, mostly related to accessory uses and also updating

discretionary land uses.”

The proposed bylaw will be advertised to solicit public comments and consultation will take place with the Warman Chamber of Commerce and other community organizations, said Toth.

Council Kendall Shram inquired if infrastructure improvements in older residential neighbourhoods could

be partially or completely funded by levies on new infill projects under the bylaw. Toth said that wasn’t permitted under the bylaw, but specific reserve funds could be set up to allow for fair and equitable levies. Infrastructure projects such as sidewalks could also be funded through a combination of local improvement

levies and general taxes.

The bylaw will come back to council for second and third readings after public consultations take place in the next few weeks.

The ripple effect of the carbon tax on Alberta’s homegrown industries

By Paige MacPherson Canadian Taxpayers Association Alberta’s carbon tax will have a stinging effect that will ripple through countless industries across the province, increasing costs every step of the way. Each day, January 2017 inches closer. From individuals and families to charities and schools, from farmers and landscapers to restaurant owners and small brewers – nearly everyone will be impacted.

This is the “new Alberta Advantage,” as Alberta’s finance minister declared it.

In reality, it’s more like a slap in the face to many of Alberta’s industries that will be punished with the tax despite their successful efforts in reducing carbon emissions.

For local restaurants, keeping the heat and lights on, running the kitchen appliances throughout the day, paying increased property taxes as a result of the carbon tax, and purchasing food will all cost more – surely meaning increased costs for customers.

So, you might decide to eat at home.

Sitting on your deck, enjoying your backyard, you wonder how your landscaper buddy is going to simply ‘green’ his lifestyle to avoid the tax. Sure, the 1 per cent small business tax cut helped, but what is he expected to do?

Schlep trees, cement blocks and equipment onto multiple solar-powered busses?

Shaking your head, you turn to your fantastic meal: Alberta steak and potatoes, some veggies and bread from the market, and a craft beer. It all started on the farm.

Take that warm fresh loaf of bread. Alberta growers of grain and oilseeds have been reducing carbon for decades. With modern crop protection products, no-till agriculture, and new cleaner burning engines, growers use less fuel and fewer inputs while producing exceedingly more food. Yet the carbon tax will make producing that grain – and therefore that bread – more expensive.

And most of us love our delicious Alberta beef. Improved pasture management and efficient feeding practices have made our livestock sector stand out for reduced environmental impact. Alberta farmers and ranchers are feeding our families, yet they’re being perversely punished for doing so while actually reducing carbon.

Marked farm fuel was exempted from the government’s carbon tax, but the impact will still be felt. Transporting livestock, grain and other produce by large trucks will become more expensive. Properly caring for livestock in Alberta year-round means spiking heating and electricity costs won’t help.

Even at the literal ground level, the carbon tax will increase costs, potentially even pushing business outside of Alberta to where practices are far less environmentally conscious.

Nitrogen fertilizer is a main source of plant nutrients used for Alberta agriculture. Alberta is a world leader in producing fertilizer, combining our innovative technology with products from the oil and gas sector. Nitrogen production is emissions intense, but it’s essential for growing food. And yet with some of the cleanest and most efficient facilities in the world, nitrogen producers may face unrealistic burdens from the carbon tax, ultimately making them uncompetitive.

If positive environmental results are the desired public policy outcome, years of successful emissions reductions and cleaner production should be rewarded and promoted for export around the world as best practice, rather than being unfairly taxed here at home.

Alberta is home to several breweries, distilleries and malt plants responsible for crafting that beer you’re sipping on. If your brew of choice was from out-of-province, the government has already slapped you with unfair beer taxes. But, the carbon tax will further increase costs from growing grains to distilling spirits – meaning higher prices for consumers. Imposing the carbon tax simply means local producers will be less competitive.

In Alberta, we have many homegrown industries to be proud of, creating thousands of jobs. And whether it’s a local brewery or distillery, restaurant, landscaper, charity, school, farmer or rancher – and whether they’ve already been innovating to reduce carbon emissions for decades – everyone will be punished by the Alberta carbon tax.

Now go enjoy your tasty Alberta meal before the price goes up!

Robin Speer is Executive Director of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association and Paige MacPherson is Alberta Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Booze causes bad government judgment Alcohol causes people to not think clearly … even when it comes to the retailing of the product.

Take the on-going battle of Premier Brad Wall’s government to privatize the retail aspect of sales in this province.

To some extent one gets the irrationality of those who have a lot at stake in the form of good-paying, unionized jobs in public retail liquor stores.

But it’s also about here where it seems that liquor sales have a bad effect on otherwise clear-thinking individuals.

After all, there is nothing magical about selling liquor compared with any other commodity… other than the fact that it is likely significantly easier to sell than most other products.

What’s failed miserably here in Saskatchewan and in other jurisdictions where the liquor employee unions have tried it is the notion that only “public sector” liquor retailers can safeguard against underage purchasing of alcohol.

Seriously? Public liquor retailers have prevented older brothers and older friends from pulling for their friends? Liquor ven-

Provincial Politics

dors or private store owners would not be afraid of losing their lucrative licenses by supplying liquors to minors?

Bar and restaurant owners in Saskatchewan haven’t already proven private retailers are rather diligent about ensuring only appropriateaged customers are served alcohol?

Of course, there are other concerns about privatization of liquor; not the least of which would be the concerns of friends of government getting preferential treatment when it comes to getting liquor store franchises.

As stated earlier, the nature of liquor sales doesn’t necessarily always bring out the best wisdom.

And that applies equally to the government’s view of alcohol retailing; especially when it’s mixed with a healthy dose of politics.

Recently, Premier Brad Wall’s government has taken great umbrage at the Alberta NDP government imposing a $1.25 a litre tax on beer.

AUDITED CIRCULATION: 17,709 VOL. 8 NO. 46

Now, if you are a west side rural Saskatchewan hotel beer vendor or vendor of other liquor sales, you might very well be wondering why this is an issue at all.

All Saskatchewan retailers have been hammered by the absence of a provincial sales tax to the west of us. (Alberta has not had a provincial sales tax since 1937.)

But if you are a west side retailer of booze, it’s a double hit because of the way the two provinces have always taxed liquor.

In Saskatchewan, there is an “ad valorem” taxation policy, meaning taxes are levied on the value of the product.

By contrast, Alberta has always levelled a flat per-bottle duty, meaning that an expensive bottle of rye and scotch would generally be cheaper.

(Because of this, beer has generally been slightly cheaper in Saskatchewan than Alberta; even more before the recent change imposed by Premier Rachel Notley’s government.)

The issue for the Sask. Party government is that Saskatchewan beers like Great Western and the craft beer industry would be subject to this new $1.25 per litre change in Alberta. However,

similar Alberta based breweries would continue to enjoy the advantage of Alberta government subsidies.

“Alberta’s new beer pricing and grant policy are a trade issue that could hurt producers and consumers in both provinces,” said Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) Minister Don McMorris in a prepared statement.

McMorris raised the issue with Notley and Wall raised it at the annual premiers’ meeting.

The question is why this is the Saskatchewan government’s concern.

How much Albertans pay for their beer shouldn’t be McMorris’s concerns.

Nor is it really Saskatchewan’s concerns whether Alberta taxpayers are subsidizing their local brewers.

Sure, governments need to look after businesses in their own jurisdictions.

But that’s a dangerous game for a Sask. Party government that claims it has no interest in picking winners or losers.

After all, can you subsidize breweries and not the film industry through tax employment credits?

Liquor sure impacts how governments think.

Farm safety takes centre stage at Ag in Motion show

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca How fast does a grain auger or power take-off (PTO) shaft turn?

Fast enough to take off your finger, hand or arm in the blink of an eye.

That’s the message Terri Kerbrat hopes young people take away from the 4-H Farm Safety Day at the Ag in Motion outdoor exhibition near Langham on Thursday, July 21.

“I tie a piece of a sweatshirt to a PTO shaft,” said Kerbrat, “and I challenge the kids to a race. I ask them to see if they can wrap a string around their finger faster than I wrap that piece of sweatshirt around the PTO shaft.

“It’s a real eye-opener for them. They see how quickly something can happen, and why it’s important to tie your hair back and not wear loose clothing around machinery.”

Kerbrat is the community relations coordinator for the Saskatchewan Safety Council (SSC), one of several organizations involved in a handson demonstration day for kids, teens and parents focusing on farm safety.

“This is a unique opportunity to connect with kids who live on farms,” said Kerbrat. “The farm is a great place to grow up, but it’s potentially dangerous because it’s also a workplace with a lot of machinery.

“Kids need to understand the dangers and learn how to be safe,” she said.

Between 1990 and 2008, there were 1,975 accidental agricultural-related deaths in Canada, according to the most recent statistics available from the Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) research agency.

While 47 per cent of those killed were farmer owneroperators; 14 per cent of the deaths were their children.

“It’s a shocking statistic, but it’s reality,” said Cera Youngson, Executive-Director of 4-H Saskatchewan.

“The purpose of this event is to educate kids and parents about the dangers, and to always put safety at the top of the priority list.

“There are a lot of tools and machinery, and even things like fire and electricity, that are very useful on a farm, but they can also be dangerous if you don’t know how to use them correctly.”

Young people heard from two speakers, each of whom had suffered severe injuries

Keaton Grassie, a doubleleg amputee who lost his lower limbs due to meningitis when he was nine, explained the War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) program’s playsafe message.

Bonita Hus, knowledge translation specialist with the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan, said 70 per cent of agricultural fatalities involve machinery. Rollovers, runovers and entanglements account for 46 per cent of those accidental deaths.

Over the 19 years covered by the recently-released CAIR study, there were an average of 104 deaths annually.

Dear Residents: The purpose of our newsletter is to provide all residents in Warman & area with information as to what is happening in business, sport and our community. We believe it is important that as a learning and highly-involved community, we share this information with everyone. Please feel free to call Jennifer (306-933-2210) if you have suggestions or information for our newsletter.

Hello from Mayor and Council, As we head in to the last half of our wonderful Saskatchewan summers with many hot days ahead, I want to talk about water as it has become a topic of conversation in our community. Whether it be the rain waters that have fallen on our province over the last few weeks, the usage of water for recreational purposes, the water we use for our daily needs, water is an important topic for us all and I want to take the time to share some information with you.

of the increase is to cover the City of Warman costs for the Utility department.

In 2015, the City of Warman Utility department only recovered 81% of the water costs from billings with the remaining 19% to be covered by taxation. Having a portion of this cost covered by taxation leads our tax payers to subsidize high volume water users, something that the City of Warman wants to eliminate. Lastly, a small portion of the increase allows the City of Warman to adequately plan for future infrastructure replacement in an effort to avoid large infrastructure deficits that would otherwise be paid by tax dollars.

I want to begin by thanking our City of Warman Public Works staff who work hard to ensure that our community is able to deal with the excessive rain waters that fall throughout the spring and summer months. For many communities, flash flooding and heavy rain is a real concern, our team at the City of Warman work many long hours during these times to ensure that our homes are protected from flooding. I hope the next time you meet a City of Warman Public Works staff member you take the time to thank them for all that they do.

I hope this information has provided some understanding behind some of the questions and concerns as it relates to water in our community. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact City Hall – we are here to answers any questions that you have!

The next important piece of information that I want to share with you is in regard to Warman’s utility bills and rates.

There has been many questions raised through social media as well as at City Hall and I would like to answer these for you today.

As we move through the second quarter of 2016, the Administration and Finance Committee is pleased to announce the completion of the 2015 Audit, in which the City received a clean audit report. The Committee continues to monitor budgets and the financial health of the City, with a keen eye on 2016 capital projects, with many already completed or underway.

Has the City of Warman considered more frequent billing options? The City of Warman is currently investigating this option for our residents. While the City understands there are many benefits to increased billing including more manageable bills for residents there are also many challenges that the City of Warman is currently evaluating. The City of Warman will continue to research this option to make certain that the best decision is made for the community and its residents.

Has the City of Warman considered an equalized billing option for utility bills? This is another area that the City of Warman is currently researching.

As the City of Warman grows, coupled with the potential to increased frequency of billing, this option has the potential to benefit not only our residents but the City of Warman as well. The City of Warman will continue to research this option and look at the benefits and challenges when it comes to equalized billing.

What is the reason for the increase in utility bills? To begin it is important that our residents understand that the City of Warman purchases our water from SaskWater who in the past few years have increased their rates by 6-7% annually. As a result a portion of the increase comes directly from the increase by SaskWater. The remainder

PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONS! Grizzlies capture softball crown in dramatic fashion

by Wayne Shiels essenceofsask@gmail.com The Saskatoon Grizzlies, coached by Warman’s Roy Bedient, captured the provincial Senior C Women’s softball crown with an exciting 6-5 victory over Saskatoon Mystic in the championship game played at Bob Van Impe Field in Saskatoon on Sunday, July 24.

The game, aptly described by one of the parents as “a real nail biter,” featured the top seeds from round robin play on Friday and Saturday.

After a close 12-11 loss to the Moose Jaw Heat in the early going, the Saskatoon Grizzlies rebounded to claim the number 1 seed in the green pool with victories over the Saskatoon Lunar Eclipse (12-5), Sask Connextion (8-5), and Whitewood Ravens (184). In White pool play the Saskatoon Mystics went undefeated, with victories over the Saskatoon Fury (8-3), Ceylon (13-1), Spitfires (12-5), and Saskatoon Solar Eclipse (5-3).

In their semi-final game the Grizzlies played the Saskatoon Fury. The Grizzlies saw an early 7-2 lead evaporate and found themselves down 8-7 after the Fury scored six runs in the 4th inning.

The Grizzlies had a quick bounce-back, scoring three runs in their half of the inning and added two more in the sixth. They then shut down a late rally by

the Fury to advance to the championship game with a 12-10 victory. The Mystics had defeated the Saskatoon Lunar Eclipse in their semifinal game to advance.

The Grizzlies struck first as Katelyn Procyshyn was able to score after leading off the game with a triple.

She also contributed three RBIs when she hit another triple in the second as the Grizzlies scored three in that inning.

The Mystics tied the game up as Kendra Ganchar scored in the second inning and Deanna Tworoik, Jeni Creary and Kendra Ganchar scored in the third. The Mystics took the lead with a single run in the sixth.

In the seventh Mystics pitcher Heather Jebson was able to get two outs.

Then came THE HIT. It was a moment that every athlete dreams of, when the years of practice and preparation mean you are ready to make the decisive play that wins a championship.

That moment came for Saskatoon Grizzlies Shortstop Katelyn Procyshyn as she came to bat in the seventh inning with two outs and the tying run on first base. She had hit two triples in the game and bettered that with a solid line drive into left field that eluded the fielder. That not only scored pinch runner Brittany Schell, but also allowed the speedy shortstop to circle the bases and slide into home ahead of the throw,

The Grizzlies looked like they had an opportunity to blow the game open as the next two batters , Janelle Peet and Lauren Ethier, were on base when Kelly Bedient hit a screamer to right field, only to have it land

just foul.

The Mystics were able to get the third out, and having last bat, looked to pull out their own dramatic finish.

But the Grizzlies were having none of that as pitcher Jessica Niekamp looked

to shut down the Mystics batters.

Procyshyn scooped up a ground ball and flipped the ball to second base for the first out. Janelle Peet caught a flyball in left field for out number two, and Lauren Ethier got the third out,

Justin Wood wins Men’s Amateur golf crown

By WAYNE SHIELS essenceofsask@gmail.com Justin Wood of Unity is the 2016 Saskatchewan Men’s Amateur Golf Champion.

Wood won the title by two strokes over Jehremy Ryde of Saskatoon’s Riverside Golf Club on Thursday, July 21. Wood finished the four-round tournament with a total of 288, carding 71, 69, 75 and 73 through four days. Ryde’s overall total was 290, with scores of 72, 73, 75 and 79.

Former Men’s Amateur champion Dave Stewart of Saskatoon GC was third after a two-hole playoff with Brett Henry of Cooke Municipal GC of Prince Albert. Both Henry and Stewart finished the tournament with overall scores of 291.

Roman Timmerman of Riverside GC in Saskatoon and Kade Johnson of Deer Park Municipal GC in Yorkton were tied for fifth spot with identical scores of 294.

Johnson won the Sask U19 Junior Men’s championship, which was being played simultaneously with the Sask Men’s Amateur.

Wood, who is working in the Proshop at Elmwood Golf and Country Club in Swift Current for the summer, is on a golf scholarship and will be returning for his senior year at University of Montevallo in Alabama this fall. He felt consistency was the key to his success. He opted to play a “conservative” game because of the windy conditions at the Legends Golf Club in Warman, which hosted the event. “I didn’t change. I didn’t get too aggressive,” said Wood. “But I hit hybrids and long irons off the tee and tried to keep it in play as much as I could.”

Wood said his putts were also on target.

Johnson wins U19 Junior Men’s title

Kade Johnson of Deer Park Municipal Golf Club in Yorkton captured his first Saskatchewan U19 Junior Men’s Golf Championship on Wednesday, July 20 at the Legends Golf Club in Warman.

Johnson finished with a total 220 strokes, after scoring 73, 71 and 76 through three rounds. The final day was the most difficult, as golfers had to cope with gusty westerly winds that grew stronger as the day went on. Roman Timmerman of Saskatoon’s Riverside GC placed second in the competition, carding 70, 77 and 75 through three rounds for a total of 222. Carson Harcourt of Kipling also recorded a three round total of 222 with scores of 73, 74 and 75. Johnson, Timmerman and Harcourt will represent Saskatchewan at the national U19 Junior Men’s golf championship in Newfoundland in August.

Too thick and it stays in the bunker.

This will be Wood’s third trip to the national tournament, and he

said he’s setting the bar higher for himself this year.

“I’ve been there the last two years, and I know what to expect,” he said. “I have a little higher expectations this year. I know I can compete at the highest level.”

Wood said to have his name on the same trophy as storied golfers like Graham DeLaet is an accomplishment he’s looked forward to for a long time.

“I can’t put the feeling in words,” he said. “It’s unbelievable.”

Chloe Sies wins Jr. Women’s Golf crown in close playoff Josh Nagy claims provincial Jr. Men’s title

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Seventeen-year-old Chloe Sies of Melville won her first provincial junior women’s golf championship on Wednesday, July 20 at the Legends Golf Club in Warman.

But it took two extra playoff holes after three days of competition to edge past her longtime friend and rival Kayla Sawchuk of Prince Albert by a single shot.

Sies and Sawchuk were tied at 252 strokes each after three rounds, and just three strokes up on third-place finisher Hannah MacNeil The first playoff hole saw the two leaders still tied after Sawchuk narrowly missed a putt that would have given her the title. On the second playoff hole, Sies found herself in the rough but recovered with an amazing chip shot onto the green that allowed her to sink the winning putt.

“It was very close,” said Sies in an interview after wining the trophy. “I was really excited to see it go in, but my mom was more excited. She was in tears.”

Sies, Sawchuk and MacNeil were in a tight battle for the lead right from the first hole of the tournament. The trio have competed against each other for several years and are good friends. Together they’ll fill the three spots for the pro-

vincial junior women’s golf team when they represent Saskatchewan at the national championship in Nova Scotia later this summer.

“It’s a lot of fun when you can golf with people you know really well,” said Sies.

“They’re good golfers and good friends.”

Sies, who has been golfing competitively since she was 12, said she was confident she had a good shot at the title this year.

“I’ve practiced a lot, and all year I think I’ve made some good improvements in my game,” she said. “I was hoping this would be the result.

“I wasn’t really nervous coming into this. I just treated it like any other tournament; but I have to admit I did start to get a little excited on the last few holes in the final round because it was so close.”

That nervousness vanished once the extra playoff hole got underway.

“Up till then I was just taking in the whole experience,” she said. “Once the playoff started, I was just really focused.”

KOZAK WINS U13 CROWN

The junior women’s field saw seven competitors, including one young rookie who walked away with a provincial title.

Ten-year-old Ella Kozak of Deer Park Municipal Golf Club in Yorkton won the

U13 Jr. Women’s provincial championship. She was the sole competitor in her age group, but she didn’t realize she had won it till her name was called during the final presentation.

Kozak finished the three rounds with a total of 366 strokes.

NAGY BROTHERS TOPS

Fourteen-year-old Josh Nagy of Riverside Golf and Country Club in Saskatoon captured the U15 Junior Men’s championship at the Legends Golf Club in Warman, finishing with a three-over-par 219 after three rounds.

Josh’s fraternal twin brother Cole Nagy placed second with a 17-over-par 233. Cole was the defending champion, having won the trophy the year before.

Colby Friedrich of North Battleford Golf and Country Club won the bronze medal with a three-round score of 240.

Fourteen-year-old Davis Czuy of the Legends Golf Club in Warman placed fourth with a three-round score of 242.

Josh and Cole Nagy have been golfing since they were three or four years old, and there’s always been a friendly rivalry between the brothers.

“Cole won it last year, so I really wanted to beat him this time around,” said Josh in an interview. “I was a little nervous at the start, but I had a really good round the first day and was a lot more confident as the tournament went on.”

WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Chloe Sies checks to see the results of her chip shot from the rough on the second playoff hole. This was the shot that allowed her to sink the winning putt and claim the junior women’s championship.

Davis Czuy was happy with his showing in his first junior men’s tournament.

A member of the Legends since the club opened, he’s been golfing since he was three years old.

“I love the great feeling that comes from making the big shots,” said Czuy. “I’m looking forward to the challenge of playing in this tournament next year.”

Dwayne Yachiw, Golf Saskatchewan Manager of Sport Development and Championships, said while the numbers of competi-

tors in the juniors was not as high as organizers were hoping, the level of competition was very high.

He also had praise for the Legends Golf Club.

“The course is in amazing shape, and we’ve had so many volunteers step up to help out at the last minute when we had to move it from Estevan because of the flooding there earlier this month,” said Yachiw. “We’ll have a great team of junior men and great team of junior women at nationals this year.”

Clavet players earn spots on Team Canada U18 roster Willow Slobodzian and Mackenna Parker of Clavet are among the top 85 female hockey players in the country invited to attend Canada’s National Women’s Development Team and Canada’s National Women’s Under-18 Team selection camps from Aug. 5-21 in Calgary.

Slobodzian and Parker, teammates with the Saskatoon Stars Female Midget AAA team, recently returned from an elite invitational International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) camp in Vierumaki, Finland. They made it past the first cut for the national U18 team following an evaluation camp in Hamilton earlier this week.

The Calgary camps are part of the National Teams’ Summer Showcase. According to Hockey Canada, the camps will be on the ice at the Markin MacPhail Centre at WinSport’s Canada

Olympic Park, and will see 42 development team invitees and 43 under-18 invitees vie for spots on the two 23-player squads that will play a pair of three-game series’ against the United States from Aug. 17-21.

Melody Davidson, Hockey Canada’s general manager of national women’s team programs, led the player selection with assistance from Hockey Canada regional scouts.

“The depth of talent across Canada at the under-18 and development level will be on display in August when we host these 85 players in Calgary,” said Davidson in an article posted on Hockey Canada’s website. “When it’s best-on-best competition on the ice it gives the coaching staffs a unique opportunity to evaluate the players in both programs. There will be tough decisions to select the top 23 players that will

wear the maple leaf when Canada faces off against the United States in the threegame series.”

Following the series, Hockey Canada scouts, along with the team’s coaching staff, will continue to evaluate players with their club teams during the 201617 season, in preparation for selecting the Canadian team that will compete at the 2017 Nations Cup in Germany next January, as well as for possible invites to camps and events with Canada’s National Women’s Team.

DEVELOPMENT TEAM

From Aug. 5-14, 42 players – six goaltenders, 12 defencemen, and 24 forwards – will be split into two teams, Red and White, and participate in several practices and intrasquad games, as well as off-ice dryland training, fitness testing, and classroom sessions.

Canada’s National Women’s Development Team selection camp will also include Sweden’s national women’s team, and a select team of Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) players who will be aiming to represent Canada at the 2017 Winter Universiade in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in January.

Team Canada wins bronze at Women’s Softball Worlds

By GILLES LEBLANC www.softballcanada.ca Megan Gurski of Dalmeny helped the Canadian Women’s National Team win the bronze medal at the WBSC Women’s World Softball Championship following an 11-1 loss to Japan in four innings on Sunday, July 24 in Surrey, BC. Team Canada used all of its available pitchers but could not contain the Japanese offence, and got some hits but didn’t pull through when needed.

Despite the loss, the bronze medal is an incredible result for the Women’s National Team, with Canada last winning bronze in 2010 in Venezuela and two straight fourth place finishes in 2012 and 2014. Canada’s top finish at the event was a silver medal won by the Doc`s Blues in 1978.

In the top of the first, Victoria Hayward (Toronto, ON) led off with a line drive single to left-center and was sacrificed to second but a fly out to left and a strikeout left her on base. In the bottom of the inning, Ja-

pan opened the scoring after a leadoff walk and a tworun homerun to right. A single and a double scored a third run and brought on a pitching change for Canada as Sara Plourde (Baker Lake, NB) came on in relief of Sara Groenewegen (Surrey, BC). Plourde got a fly out to end the inning with the score 3-0 for Japan.

Jen Yee (North Delta, BC) and Megan Gurski (Dalmeny, SK) both singled to start the second inning and advanced to second and third on a ground out to the pitcher. A wild pitch allowed Yee to score from third to get Canada on the board, and Natalie Wideman (Mississauga, ON) drew a walk to put runners on the corners.

After a strikeout for the second out, Hayward also walked to load the bases but the next batter went down on a fly out to left. In the bottom of the second, Japan went back to work by scoring three runs on three singles, a walk and an error to take a 6-1 lead.

Yee smacked a double to

the right field corner with two outs in the third but the next batter grounded out to shortstop to leave her in scoring position. Japan did not let up, as they added three runs to their lead with a two-run homerun and a solo shot to build up a big 9-1 lead after three innings of play. Wideman fouled off several pitches to earn a one-out walk and was sacrificed to second but a ground out to second left her on base as well. In the bottom of the inning, Japan got a leadoff homerun, and after a hit by pitch and a walk put two runners, the following batter got a walk-off hit to center to score the eleventh run and end the game on the run rule.

Groenewegen, Plourde, Lauren Bay Regula (Trail, BC) and Kyla Benz (Surrey, BC) all saw time in the pitcher’s circle, while Yee led Canada at the plate with a double and a single. Hayward and Gurski also singled for Canada.

The United States defeated Japan 7-3 to earn the Gold medal.

By GILLES LEBLANC www.softballcanada.ca A run-scoring single

by Justin Laskowski of Warman helped the Canadian Men’s National Team shut out Mexico 3-0 at the WBSC Junior Men’s World Softball Championship Monday night, July 25. The win evened Team Canada’s record to 1-1 after losing their opening game 3-1 to New Zealand on Sunday, July 24.

The team was slated to play Japan on Tuesday, July 26.

Live scoring and streaming are available through the event website.

In the game against Mexico, Tyler Randerson (New Hamburg, ON) fired a onehitter and struck out fourteen, while Canada got runscoring singles by Jake Bricknell (Port Perry, ON) and Justin Laskowski (Warman, SK) with the other run scoring on an error.

After Randerson retired

Mexico in order in the first on two strikeouts and a ground out, the offence didn’t waste any time getting him some runs. Jake Wiffen (Tavistock, ON) led off with a single and advanced to second after a walk to Alexandre Lemieux (St-Gervais, QC) before scoring on a single to right by Bricknell. Randerson struck out the side in the second, and got an insurance run in the bottom of the frame when Laskowski and Derek Hyde (Tavistock, ON) both forced one-out walks and an error on a ground ball to second allowed Laskowski to cross the plate and give Canada a 2-0 lead.

Mexico went down in order again in the third, and the red and white got a walk

by Bricknell and a double

by Daniel Godbout (St-Gervais, QC) to put runners on second and third with one out but was unable to add

to its lead. After two quick innings in the fourth and fifth, Mexico got things going against Randerson in the top half of the sixth with a one-out triple, but Randerson notched two big strikeouts to keep the runner at third. In the bottom of the sixth, Godbout drew a leadoff walk and was replaced on the bases by James Shirley (Delisle, SK), who move up to second on a ground out to third and scored on a single to right by Laskowski. Randerson got a pair of ground balls and strikeout in the top of the seventh to close out the win.

Randerson earned the complete game shutout, allowing only one hit and striking out fourteen in seven innings pitched. Godbout registered a double, with run-scoring singles going to Bricknell and Laskowski.

Wiffen and Hyde each contributed singles as well.

Bruno wins provincial Sr. C Men’s fastball championship Warman bounced after disappointing loss in round robin

Creek Penguins.

When the dust cleared, the Penguins, Merchants and Gems all sported identical 2-1 records, but the math dictated that Warman was out of the running.

Well, that was unexpected.

And painful. Especially after a great regular season in the Saskatoon Amateur Soft-

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca With two straight victories under their belt heading into their third game of the round-robin series at the provincial Senior C Men’s C fastball championship in Prince Albert last Saturday, the Warman Gems were sitting pretty.

All they had to do was beat the Saskatoon Merchants to punch their ticket to the championship round.

Gems pitchers Alex Fehr and Taylor Schaan had shone in the two earlier victories against the Ceylon Angels and Dry Creek Penguins. The team’s defense was sharp and their bats were hot. Third baseman Jeremy Morin and second baseman Shane Reid had each recorded home runs in the game against the Angels.

But things went sour for the Gems early in the critical game against the Merchants, and Saskatoon ended up winning 10-4.

“Yeah, we kind of stunk the ballpark out in that one,” mused Shane Reid while nursing a cool one in the shade and watching his team’s playoff hopes melt faster than the ice in the beer tub as the Ceylon Angels fell 17-7 to the Dry

ball Association league play.

But there’s always next year.

Meanwhile, the Hanley Merchants earned a spot in the playoffs after finishing second in their pool, but

didn’t make it into the final.

The Bruno Merchants captured the Senior C championship, beating Regina Silver Screen in the gold medal final.

Demonstrations big draw at Ag in Motion

Live demonstrations drew crowds at Ag in Motion, July 19 to 21

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Plot demonstrations provide farmers with information in real-time.

Continued from page 3 are looking for, and the newer technology in some cases.

It’s really been quite a success. Our crowds at those particular demonstrations were fantastic.”

O’Connor said a lot of people in western Canada don’t realize that a lot of the world’s best technology for dryland farming is designed right here in western Canada. We take it for granted because it’s right on our own doorstep.

“We lead the world and we share that information with the world and it helps everybody do a better job to produce their crops. And you’ll see a lot of that technology right here at this show.”

He believes irrigation will become increasingly important to farmers and expects to see more of that technology in western Canada, especially Saskatchewan. The show will be increasing its irrigation programming in the future, he said.

In the crowds on July 19, the first day of Ag in Motion, were people on a bus tour from Quebec and a farmer from Nebraska. O’Connor said online tickets were sold to people from Australia, South Africa and Ireland. “That’s phenomenal being this is only our second year.”

But the main focus remains Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba farmers. They saw bus tours coming in from just east of Winnipeg up to just north of Edmonton. When he started working with this event, O’Connor initially anticipated attracting people from within a 200-mile radius.

“It’s great to see that we have such an impact and a level of importance to farmers across western Canada than we anticipated this early on with this show.”

Ag in Motion is already planning for next year’s show.

They’ll look at any changes they want to make and what exhibitors might want them to do. They’ll talk to companies about crop plots - types of seeds or fertilizers or rotations.

O’Connor said an army of about 100 local volunteers just from the local area, offered incredible support. That included people like neighbour Wendell Elliott and his wife and others who watched the gates, watered the roads, manned information booths, drove shuttles and much more.

Summer Soiree shines again

By ADELINE COX “Why didn’t I know about this before?” asked Darleen, an exuberant first time patron, after last Wednesday’s “Summer Song Soiree” at Osler Mennonite Church. The “Cox/Hecker/ Macnabs”, a 4-member family troupe who hail from Maple Creek, had just given their third annual performance for an enthusiastic Osler crowd.

The family group consists of a Warman homegrown talent, Chelsea Cox, along with her husband Andrew Hecker, Andrew’s sister Christine and his mother, Heather Macnab.

These classically trained musicians were joined by two special guests; tenor Spencer McKnight and accompanist Mark Turner from Saskatoon, with Spencer hitting clear high notes and his accompanist Mark Turner, impressive with his talent on the baby grand piano.

In his 2015 debut as Saskatoon Symphony Or-

chestra’s tenor soloist, Spencer McKnight was described by the SSO as bringing “effortless high notes and glorious ornaments” to his performances in Handel’s Messiah. While Spencer also delighted the Osler audience with glorious solo arias from a Verdi opera, it was his tender rendition of “The White Cliffs of Dover” that transfixed the listeners and brought a tear to many an eye.

A thread of humor ran through the evening’s variety performance, including

a quartet replete with fish headgear. Heather Macnab, the group’s creative director, regaled the audience with her storytelling and Chelsea’s recitation from Neil Gaiman’s “Chivalry” elicited chuckles with an unlikely tale of the widowed Mrs. Whitaker, who salvaged the Holy Grail from under a fur coat in a Thrift shop.

The performances included a medley of solos, duets and even trios in an array of musical genres, including opera. But it was the entire ensemble, in their romp through a version of Monty Python’s “I’m all alone” from “Spamalot,” that brought the audience to their feet in a standing ovation at the end of the night.

Later during refreshments, several spectators commented that they just had to come, because they had enjoyed previous years’ Soirees by this group, and just couldn’t miss it. Perhaps next year, you too, will find out why for yourself.

Controlling noxious weeds a priority for RMs

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca They’re virtually everywhere, and they’re becoming a bigger problem every year.

Invasive plant species are nonnative plants that negative affect the economy, the environment, and the health of humans and animals, according to Renny Grilz, Resource Management Officer with the Meewasin Valley Authority (MVA).

Grilz, who lives in Aberdeen, devotes nine months of the year to working on weed control in the Saskatoon region. It’s a tall order, given the increasing varieties and rapid spread of invasive weed species.

“It’s an uphill battle, that’s for sure,” said Grilz. “But if you work on it methodically and systematically you can have a positive impact in the long run.”

Grilz isn’t working alone, of course. Controlling prohibited weeds and noxious weeds, almost of which are invasive species, is a priority for weed control officers in rural municipalities across the province. It’s also high on the list for urban municipalities.

An “invasive plant species field tour” on Thursday, July 7, organized jointly by the MVA and the South Saskatchewan River Watershed stewards, was aimed at giving RM weed inspectors a firsthand look at the weeds growing in the wild. The tour included several stops in the RM of Corman Park, including the Northeast Swale, a natural prairie area near Saskatoon.

“The tour helps people learn how to identify the key problem weeds they’re going to run across, and also give them tips on how to

control these invasive species,” said Grilz. “We’re also aiming to create and strengthen a network to digitally map out the problem areas in the province where these weeds are established and spreading.”

There are currently 26 “prohibited weeds” listed in the provincial weed control act, and a further 38 species identified as “noxious weeds.”

Leafy Spurge is one of the most prevalent noxious weeds in Saskatchewan, said Grilz, adding municipal governments are working hard to prevent the spread of this threat to the environment.

The prohibited weed species are the most serious, said Grilz, noting that these include plants like Garlic Mustard, ornamental or herb plants introduced from other parts of the world that spread into the wild by displacing other native varieties.

“Almost all the invasive species were introduced from elsewhere at some time or another,” said Grilz.

“Even dandelions, which are so pervasive in Canada now that we think of them as native plants, were introduced by settlers from England as a food source. They were common in salads in the early days.”

Grilz said he expects there will be “another wave” of invasive species introduced into the prairies in the next five to ten years as a natural consequence of immigrants from other countries bringing their traditional food plants with them to Canada.

“I’m worried that some of these garden plants could become an issue,” said Grilz. “Many of them won’t be a problem, but some may be. We just won’t know until a few

years down the road.”

Grilz said water-borne invasive species, such as zebra mussels, are also becoming a serious problem in western Canada. The province is taking steps to ensure boaters do not unknowingly contribute to the spread of these organisms, by requiring vessels of all sizes to be thoroughly cleaned.
