Sudden deaths reported in Delisle

UP IN FLAMES

Gazette reader Ed Fehr took this photo of a burning truck that is believed to have been stolen and abandoned. The truck was reported burning at about 6:30 a.m. on Monday, August 29 six miles west and two miles north of Hepburn. Hepburn Fire Department and Rosthern RCMP responded to the inci-

dent. No one was injured in the blaze. The truck was reported to be a red Ford half-ton crew cab. Shortly before this incident, a truck was reported stolen off a field near the scene. RCMP are currently investigating the incident. There has apparently been a rash of stolen vehicles in the area in recent weeks.

landfill FIRE

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Martensville firefighters battled a stubborn fire at the Loraas landfill south of that city on Wednesday, August 24. The fire, which appeared to be fuelled by shredded rubber tires, began in the early morning hours before daylight and continued burning throughout the day. Firefighters used a considerable amount of foam mixed with water to extinguish the blaze.

BACK TO SCHOOL ESSENTIALS

Two people were discovered deceased inside a home in Delisle on Saturday evening, August 27. At approximately 7:30 p.m. Warman RCMP received a call to a residence on the 300 block of 4th Street West in Delisle. A 26-year-old male and a 26-year-old female who were known to each other were found deceased. Police cannot confirm if either death is suspicious in nature and autopsies were scheduled for this week by the Office of the Chief Coroner. There is no risk to public safety and police are not seeking any suspects at this time. RCMP Major Crimes Unit North is investigating with the assistance of the Office of the Chief Coroner and RCMP Forensic Identification Section.

Bethany Manor celebrates 30 years serving seniors Fundraising project aims to enhance personal care services

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca A beautiful inner courtyard provided the backdrop for a special 30th anniversary celebration at Bethany Manor on August 28. Festivities at the 55-plus housing facility included children’s activities, music by Bethany’s Ukulele Band, ‘Glowing Embers,’ dinner for up to 400 guests, a cake auction and a door prize. The program featured comments from dignitaries such as Mayor Don Atchison, MLA Roger Parent, Moderator of Mennonite Church Saskatchewan, Ken Warkentin, and a letter from MP Brad Trost. Board chairs, past and present, shared reflections from their tenures, and ten participating churches provided additional music. Current board chair, Joe Guenther, said his recollections of Bethany Manor date back to the early days when his father was involved in the original planning group 30 years ago. His parents both lived in the home – his father for six years and his mother for 10. “What I saw and consider to be just outstanding is the staff that we have and how they go out of their way to provide just excellent service to the residents, well beyond what is required in terms of independent living or assisted living,” said Guenther. “That has always amazed me, and it’s been very consistent over the years.” Now retired, Guenther was a dairy farmer and grain farmer north of Osler where he still resides. Bethany Manor is home to about 400 residents. Guenther estimates that about a quarter to a third of them originate from the Sask Valley region north of Saskatoon. There’s a large percentage

from Saskatoon, and others from various communities around the province like Kindersley, Swift Current, Herbert, and even a few from Regina. One of those residents is Peter Friesen from Dalmeny. Friesen has lived at Bethany Manor for almost a year. “I haven’t lived here very long. I’m still a little new but so far so good!” he said. Friesen is a well-known auctioneer and ran the cake auction for Bethany Manor. Most of the participating congregations designated one individual to bring a cake. It was a lively auction with a cake from Langham Zoar Mennonite Church fetching the highest bid of $600. The stunning cake was designed by Linda Goossen and topped with a floral arrangement. Bethany currently offers independent and assisted living. Residents have the option of meal service with independent living as well. The residence is planning to add personal care to their roster of services soon. It’s a matter of formalizing something their trained staff is already doing to some extent. To be able to offer personal care, some renovations are required and a walkway needs to be built first. “That’s going to be a big project. “We think that project will approach $1 million and we hope to have all that money donated,” said Guenther. “We won’t be taking that out of operating fund.” A significant amount of money has already come in for the project. Bethany Manor has a large fellowship hall, a recreational facility, a medical clinic, a hair salon and a small store for grabbing your milk, eggs and fresh baking from the kitchen.

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Bethany’s ukulele band, ‘Glowing Embers,’ led by retired music teacher Russ Regier, performs at the 30th anniversary celebration of Bethany Manor. The kitchen was recently renovated and now has new paint, more light and some new equipment, Guenther

added. After the celebrations, resident Tina Friesen summed up sentiments that may well

be echoed by many residents. “Bethany Manor is a wonderful place to live. We love it here. There’s so much

going on and so much fellowship with other people. It’s just a wonderful place with wonderful people.”

Bakker steps aside as Dalmeny Mayor

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca After two years at the helm of his hometown, Nick Bakker is stepping down from the post of Dalmeny mayor. First elected in a by-election in 2014 following the resignation of Allan Earle, Bakker said he’s satisfied with what he’s been able to accomplish in his time as Mayor. “I’m very happy with the way things have progressed,” said Bakker in an interview on Friday, August 26. “It’s an exciting time for Dalmeny. We still have a

ways to go on several projects, but we’re seeing some positive things, including a new gas station and the development of the southwest industrial area. “It’s pretty awesome to see this stuff moving forward.” Bakker said his reason for not running this time around is because of work commitments. “I’m still working fulltime, and frankly, there’s just too much on my plate right now,” said Bakker, who is Customer Service Manager of the Transportation Division for the City of Saskatoon. “It keeps

me extremely busy, and if you’re going to be mayor of a growing community like Dalmeny, you have to devote a lot of time to the job.” Bakker said he wouldn’t rule out running again for Mayor in the future. “After I retire, it’s a possibility,” he said. “But that’s a few more years down the road.” Bakker, who served for many years as Chief of the Dalmeny Police Service, said he’s grateful his term was only for two years. “It gave me the opportunity to see if I could handle it,” he said. “I really enjoyed

it. In fact, I’d call it an incredible experience. But if I can’t devote the time that’s required then it’s best if I step aside and let someone else take the reins.” Bakker said before the byelection in 2014, he didn’t know what to expect if he made it to the mayor’s chair. “I heard lots of horror stories about all the irate phone calls from concerned citizens, but actually, I haven’t had very many of those, and we’ve always been able to deal with the issues in a positive way, from CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Kroeker running for Mayor of Dalmeny By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Jon Kroeker has thrown his hat in the ring to become Mayor of Dalmeny. First elected to Dalmeny town council four years ago, the first-term councilor feels he’s ready to move into the mayor’s chair. “I have three priorities,” said Kroeker in an interview on Friday, August 26. “Honest and transparent communication is the first priority; sustainable growth is next on my list; and the other important area is managing our assets so we are able to keep growing and not have taxpayers shoulder a huge burden.” Kroeker said he decided to step into the race for the town’s top job after learning that current Mayor Nick Bakker will not be running in the upcoming election on October 26. “I would never run against Nick,” said Kroeker. “I think he’s done a great job over the past two years. We see eye-to-eye on many issues. “I’ve also had the bene-

Security Building Supplies prepares Financial Management Corp. WARMAN FIREProudly RESCUE Management Corp. serving Saskatchewan for grand reopening in new locationLifeMortgage Corp. and Western Canada 3rd Annual

When building a new home, people are looking for more than just a roof over their heads, says Jay Fafard, vice president of Business Development at Security Building Supplies (SBS). The company has been providing solutions to builders since 1968, for the roof and pretty well everything underneath it. SBS has been open in their new location for about a month and are celebrating their Grand Reopening on September 9. One of their primary reasons for relocating and redesigning was to offer more personal and often more upscale products to the end user. “There are countless people who use their homes to express themselves and their lifestyles,” says Fafard. The company has partnered with some of the world’s most innovative companies in residential and commercial products, and they are available under one roof. “SBS has transitioned from simply supplying the necessities of new home con-

struction to offering specialty items such as premium windows and doors and luxury interior finishings,” says Fafard. Security Building Supplies was built on the pride of great customer service and exceptional knowledge. “The staff is truly there to help and cares about each and every project.” The company also prides itself on working with some of the best builders, renovators, and contractors in the industry. “Customers know what services they are getting and, in addition to consistency and quality, there are relationships that go beyond just business,” says Fafard. The company is expanding that service by providing a couple of heated drive-through bays, offering contractors a warm and welcome alternative through the winter months, while maintaining the same quick service and competitive pricing. Products on offer at SBS include lumber, windows

Crystal Benoit named Dalmeny’s Citizen of the Year By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca For the past few years, Crystal Benoit has been a force in the development of a Spray and Play Park in Dalmeny. Recently, the town recognized her hard work in the community by naming Benoit Citizen of the Year. During Dalmeny Days, in between some outdoor country music competitions, Councilor Matt Bradley expressed the town’s gratitude, and deputy mayor Joel Mireau presented a plaque to Benoit. For someone who prefers to “fly under the radar,” Benoit has become a fairly well known figure around town. “It’s an honour,” said Benoit. “It’s cool to have my name on the plaque. It’s very special to know that people have noticed your contribution to the community, and to be recognized when you do a lot of hard work and to know that it’s appreciated. Benoit founded the Spray and Play Park Committee in 2012. A lot of kids were getting hurt on some “really old” playground equipment next to the elementary school. When her son got hurt, Benoit took matters into her own hands. Since 2012 she and the committee have planned a lot of events and fundraisers that have led to the completion of Phase 1 and much of Phase 2.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Crystal Benoit receives the Dalmeny Citizen of the Year award from deputy mayor Joel Mireau Benoit says if she had known what she was getting into in starting the Spray and Play Park, she may not have done it. But there are plenty of people who are glad she did. A lot of Dalmeny residents have told her in person, or through Facebook posts on the town’s page, that the award was very well deserved. She grew into the role as it unfolded, applying for grants, garnering support from many, including the Saskatchewan Roughriders, speaking at fundraisers, and doing media interviews for newspapers, TV and radio. Phase 3, the “spray” part of the park has yet to be completed. But Benoit says

she and many on the committee are ready to shift gears as their kids get older. Benoit now has a daughter in high school and her focus

is shifting. “By the time we get to a spray park my kids aren’t going to be using it any more. So you lose a bit of that drive too.” Benoit also ran a small ball basketball program, coaches soccer and will be coaching volleyball this fall, where a lot of her energies will soon be directed. While Benoit is still the chair, a post on the Dalmeny Intergenerational Spray and Play Park Project Facebook page invites other community members to step in. “It was a hard decision – that’s my baby and you don’t really want to let it go,” she said, adding that she will always support the Spray and Play Park. “I’m very proud of how far we came.” And while flying under the radar hasn’t always worked, she’s proud that the community thinks of her as someone deserving of this award.

Legislature

Nancy Heppner MLA

MARTENSVILLE-WARMAN CONSTITUENCY

New Smaller Cabinet Includes Four New Faces

Saskatchewan has a new cabinet. It is smaller than before which means a savings to taxpayers of about $450,000 a year. This is an important step as we work to reduce costs to taxpayers all across government to help balance the budget. The new cabinet has a strong blend of experience and new faces that will serve the province well as we meet the opportunities and challenges ahead. These talented women and men will work to keep our economy strong while carefully managing the province’s finances through this challenging time. It has been a tremendous honour for me to serve in cabinet for most of the past nine years, most recently as Minister of Highways and Infrastructure. I am happy at this point to step back and allow others the same opportunity to serve. I have every confidence that the team Premier Wall has put in place will continue to do an outstanding job in the years to come, and I look forward to continuing to represent the interests of the constituents of Martensville-Warman as part of this government team.

Advisory Panel to Review Health Region Structure

A three-person advisory panel has been appointed to review the current Regional Health Authority (RHA) structure and provide options to reduce the number of RHAs in Saskatchewan. Their mandate includes reviewing options for more effective and efficient delivery of services province-wide. While panel members will provide advice that will lead to fewer health regions and less administration, the overall goal of this is to continue to improve frontline patient care for Saskatchewan residents. It’s expected that the panel will provide its findings to government in the coming months.

Economic Success in Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan people have built a resilient and diversified economy. Even in the face of challenges such as low commodity prices, there are anecdotal stories of how our economy is improving. Statistics Canada figures back up this anecdotal evidence with data that shows Saskatchewan leading the nation in building permit growth, the growth of manufacturing sales and retail sales. When Saskatchewan businesses are seeing increased activity of this nature, it reflects well on the overall economic environment and confidence in communities across the province.I am confident we have the right group of talented women and men to meet this challenge and keep Saskatchewan strong.

Canadian families spend more on taxes than basic necessities of life By Charles Lammam and Milagros Palacios The Fraser Institute Distributed by Troy Media What’s your family’s largest expense? Canadians might say housing or food. But in reality, taxes consume more of the average Canadian family’s household income than anything else. When we say taxes, we’re talking about all the taxes you pay to all levels of government. This includes visible and hidden taxes: income taxes, payroll taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, health taxes, fuel taxes, vehicle taxes, import taxes, alcohol taxes and much more. A recent study by the Fraser Institute tracked the total tax bill of the average Canadian family from 1961 to 2015. For 2015, we estimate that the average family (including single Canadians) earned $80,593 in income and paid $34,154 in total taxes. That’s 42.4 per cent of income going to taxes - more than the 37.6 per cent that goes to food, clothing and shelter combined. Indeed, Canadian families spend more on taxes than the basic necessities of life. It wasn’t always this way. In 1961, the first year we have calculations, the average family paid a much smaller portion of its household income in taxes (33.5 per cent) while spending much more on the basic necessities (56.5 per cent). In fact, since 1961, the total tax bill has increased by 1,939 per cent, outpacing increases in shelter costs (1,425 per cent), clothing (746 per cent), and food (645 per cent). Even after accounting for inflation (the change in overall prices), the tax bill shot up 152.9 per cent over the period. And now taxes eat up more income than any other single family expense. While taxes help fund important government services, the issue is the amount of taxes that governments take compared to what we get in return. With more than 42 per cent of income going to taxes, Canadians might wonder whether they’re getting the best value for their tax dollars. That’s up to you to decide. But to make an informed assessment, you must have a complete understanding of all the taxes you pay. Unfortunately, it’s not so straightforward because the different levels of government levy such a wide range of taxes, with many buried in consumer prices. Therein lies the value of our calculations. An informed citizenry can hold government more accountable for the money it spends, and continue a public debate about the overall tax burden and whether we’re getting our money’s worth. Charles Lammam and Milagros Palacios are co-authors of the Fraser Institute report The Canadian Consumer Tax Index 2016.

Setting the record straight on Venice School The article on Venice School in Blumenthal, printed in the August 11, 2016 edition of the Gazette, had a couple of errors. Venice School had two rooms. I’m not sure when the school closed but it could have been in 1967. South Venice School had only one room, and it closed in the fall of 1964. That might not have been the official year, but in June of that year is when it saw its last

students. After that the students from that area were bussed to the Venice School in Blumenthal. South Venice School did not replace the Venice School; they were at two different locations. Venice School wlas in the hamlet of Blumenthal and South Venice School was on the southeast corner of a section of land three miles south of Blumenthal. Sally Ens

VOL. 8 NO. 51

Rural Saskatchewan takes hit in shuffle Rural representation took a hit in Premier Brad Wall’s cabinet shuffle. One might argue this doesn’t mean much. After all, the 51-member Saskatchewan Party government caucus consists of 30 rural MLAs since the April 4 vote. Rural representation remains the backbone of this government. And as a matter of record, nine of Wall’s new 17-member cabinet; still, the majority; come from seats outside the four major cities. But with everyone in the province likely to take a financial hit in the spring 2017 budget, all areas of the province will be fighting to ensure it isn’t their ox being gored by the knife of government cuts. This may be here where rural Saskatchewan should take notice of the cabinet changes. Essentially what happened in last week’s cabinet shuffle is Wall replaced six cabinet members (including rural MLAs Don McMorris, Bill Boyd, Herb Cox and Nancy Heppner) with five members (of which only Wood River’s David Marit is a truly rural MLA). The government might argue that new Advanced Ed-

Provincial Politics

ucation Minister Bronwyn Eyre from Saskatoon-Stonebridge-Dakota is a rural MLA, but that’s just silly. As stated, this means the rural cabinet complement is down to nine; still, a slim majority that doesn’t exactly reflect the ratio of rural MLAs in the government caucus. Of course, such numbers are all relative to other factors. For starters, some portfolios are more important and major ministries like energy (where Dustin Duncan is now minister) health, (Jim Reiter), economy (Jeremy Harrison), government relations (Donna Harpauer), Scott Moe (environment) and, of course, Wall as Premier are now all represented in the provincial cabinet by rural MLAs. Moreover, some portfolios are specifically more important to rural residents than others. Besides, rural ministers in key areas like the economy, energy and health,

we still seen Lyle Stewart in agriculture, former Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) president Marit in highways and Greg Ottenbreit in rural and remote health. In fact, that we still have this second health minister portfolio is a little surprising. Asked to explain his reasons for dropping Jennifer Campeau (who had been the lone aboriginal member of his cabinet) Wall stressed that one less minister translates to a $450,000 savings. (That saving consists of cabinet minister’s salary, the obligatory six political staffers, etc.) As such, it can be argued that other demographics in the province like the First Nations community took a bigger hit than rural Saskatchewan did. It may even say a little about what this government considers as most important when it comes to portfolios. Also, several rural MLAs received Legislative Secretary appointments including, Lori Carr, (Renewable Resources and Energy), Fred Bradshaw, (Environment and Forestry), Hugh Nerlien (Public Service Commission and public sector bargain-

ing), Steven Bonk (Economy) and Warren Kaeding (Agriculture). Sure, it’s not a ministry, but it is the next best thing. (It is unpaid.) But it is an added voice. Finally, the old adage that all of us are just one step off the farm applies to cabinet as well. So when you think of a good Blaine-Lake-boy like Ken Cheveldayoff, who returns to cabinet as minister for Parks, Recreation and Culture, you don’t necessarily think of him as solely the representative of Saskatoon Willowgrove. Also compare the rural representation we now see in the Wall cabinet with the NDP cabinets in days of yore when there were only one to three rural ministers. There is no comparison. But it is passing strange how, like the rest of the province, the Sask. Party government is becoming more urbanized. Gone are rural stalwarts like Rod Gantefoer, Ken Krawetz, June Draude, Bob Bjornerud and now Boyd and McMorris. That’s a lot of rural cabinet experience no longer in cabinet. It is a bit of a hit.

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.

Keep kids safe as they head back to school Summer vacation is coming to an end for Saskatchewan students who will soon be starting a new school year. CAA Saskatchewan has some school zone safety tips for students, parents, guardians and motorists. Students; never run out in traffic or between parked cars, buses or buildings. Be visible to motorists and other pedestrians. Stay focused, pay attention, and learn to walk and not run across the street or at busy intersections. Please refrain from using your mobile device for playing games or texting while walking. Keep your

head up, look around, and be aware of your surroundings. Parents and guardians; obey the “no stopping” zones in front of schools. Use the designated drop off and pick up areas only –if you’re not sure, check with your child’s school administrator. Teach children about the rules of the road – always stop, look both ways, and listen before safely crossing the street. Let them know the designated intersections or areas you would like them to use when crossing the street. Plan your child’s walk-

ing route to school and walk with them to better familiarize themselves with the school and surrounding area. Always have an older student or adult walk with younger children. If students are using bicycles, encourage them to walk the bike across the street when safe to do so. More cycling safety tips are available at bikesafety.caa. ca Motorists; observe and obey the posted speed limits and hours that the speed limits are enforced Allow students and their families’ proper time to safely cross the streets. Slow

down in school zones and remain alert when driving near playgrounds, parks, school yards and shopping malls. Always stop for school buses that are loading or unloading students. Be aware of the CAA School Safety Patrollers on duty and please obey their instructions. CAA Saskatchewan has managed the CAA School Safety Patrol program since 1951. The program, which helps students learn about pedestrian and traffic safety, gives patrollers an opportunity to develop leadership and communications skills.

Police seek public’s Cargill celebrates expansion of canola help in finding research facility missing man

Cargill’s newly expanded canola research facility in Aberdeen, Saskatchewan is poised to lead the way in specialty canola seed breeding, thanks to a $3.5 million investment in new equipment and technology. Improvements to the facility include a 14,000 sq/ft expansion, expanded pathology lab, new state-of-the-art Quality Assurance lab, ventilated seed prep room and high efficiency LED lighting throughout the facility, with UV repelling windows. “The new facility will also allow Cargill to showcase the research and innovations within our specialty canola business,” says Mark Christiansen, Managing Director, Cargill Global Edible

Oil Solutions. “Innovations such as a new low saturated high oleic canola oil are driven by our Victory® yield platform, which is currently best-ofclass for Roundup Ready hybrids, in addition to best-ofclass Blackleg resistance.” Saskatchewan continues to be an important province for Cargill to invest in – we have 26% of our Canadian investment in the province, and over the past five years have continued to increase our footprint with over $300 million in capital investments. Cargill employs over 450 employees in the province of Saskatchewan, with six businesses across 20 locations.

Saskatoon Police are requesting public assistance in locating a 26-year-old man. Cory Regnier, 26, was reported missing on August 8, 2016. He was last seen the morning of July 30, 2016. Police and family are concerned as Cory may be in a vulnerable state. Cory is described as 5’9”, 120 lbs, with thick blonde

hair and blue eyes. He has a tattoo on his chest of a cross and Jesus, and one on each forearm of text “One for all and all for one”. He was last seen wearing shorts and a green t-shirt. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Cory Regnier is asked to contact Saskatoon Police at 306-9758300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

the community’s perspective.” Bakker said the recent conflict over a proposed local improvement project has been a learning experience. “We didn’t fare as well as I had hoped on that proposal,” said Bakker. “But I think the communication has been strengthened and

the next council can take that forward in a way that everybody deems equitable. “It’s always good to get new perspectives and new faces on council,” he added. “One thing I can say is that we’ve always had fun at council meetings. It’s always good to have a sense of humour. We get the work done, but we have a laugh or two as well.”

Prairie Spirit teachers kick off new academic year

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Despite the serious financial crunch facing Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD), teachers need to focus on doing their jobs to the best of their ability, says the President of the Prairie Spirit Teachers Association (PSTA). In her opening address to the PSTA general assembly at Warman High School on Monday, August 29, Clarke said the impact of the recent round of cuts to Educational Associate (EA) positions will be felt in the classroom. But at the same time, she added, it’s important to “move forward” by providing students with a positive and supportive learning environment. “It’s no secret that many school divisions, Prairie Spirit in particular, are facing some of the tightest funding situations that this province has ever seen,” said Clarke, who is currently in her seventh year as PSTA President. “My thoughts are with those educational associates whose positions were lost last spring due to the funding situation. I know that they will be greatly missed tis year across the division. “I have heard from many teachers who are concerned about how these personnel cuts will impact their students’ learning. “It’s true. It is a concern. But I’ve learned one thing this past year: it is that recognition of hardship is healthy, but maintaining your focus on that hardship makes it impossible to move forward. “Because we do have to move forward. That is what we do as teachers. Each school year starts with a day Prairie Spirit Teachers like this, where we reflect on Association President the past and plan for the fuCindy Clarke ture. “I urge you to focus your attention not on the hardships we face as individuals and as a profession, but rather to focus your attention on the future.” Clarke said teachers are part of a larger school division team that includes support staff, administrators and elected trustees. PSSD Board of Education Chair Larry Pavloff said “staff engagement” and commitment is more important now than ever before. “You’re doing a great job,” said Pavloff. “The school division has a very good record, and that’s due in no small part to the efforts of our teachers and staff at the schools and the division office. I urge you to keep on doing what you have been doing.” PSSD Director of Education John Kuzbik said teachers have achieved a high level of respect and trust from the larger community.

Construction values dip in Warman, Martensville By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The overall value of construction permits issued for new residential and commercial buildings in Warman so far in 2016 is roughly half what it was for the same period in 2015. That’s a reflection of the slowdown in the provincial economy, according to Warman Planning and De-

velopment Manager and acting city manager Brad Toth. “It’s a significant drop in overall value from last year, but the numbers don’t tell the whole story,” Toth said in his report to Warman City Council on Monday, August 22. “The two elementary schools currently under construction are included in last year’s permit statistics.”

Toth also noted that while the numbers and value are down, the city is growing at a rate well above the provincial and national average. Between January 1 and August 16, 2016, the City of Warman issued 13 commercial building permits worth a combined value of $1,750,800. And while the number of permits is up slightly, the overall value

shows a big drop compared to the same period in 2015, when the city issued 12 commercial building permits worth a combined value of $38,162,000. Single and multi-family residential construction permits also dropped in 2016 compared to the year previous. Between January 1 and CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

There are several limitations in place to ensure Street Stocks remain one of the most competitive racing classes

What exactly is a Street Stock? The Street Stock Division, sponsored by Golfs Car Wash, is one of the most common divisions in North America with almost every track having some version of a Street Stock. Based originally on a domestic car with a minimum wheelbase of 101 inches, the favourites are Camaros, Firebirds and Monte Carlos with full roll cage and driver safety systems. A Street Stock chassis is limited to what was originally offered with the car from the factory

and the suspension to family line (GM to GM etc.) components that fit without modifications. While these cars originally started life as a street driven automobile, they are lightened by cutting away all of the inner body structures and have enough adjustments to make them handle very well. Limitations on engines and performance parts help keep big money from dominating but put it in the hands of the drivers and crew, making Street Stock

some of the most competitive racing seen anywhere. The Street Stock Division will be running an American Racer tire for the 2016 season. This tire is an 8 inch grooved racing slick that will be mounted on an 8 inch wide racing wheel. In 2011, the following cars became legal for the Street Stock Division: • 1982 to 2002 Camaro and Firebird • 1983 to 1988 Thunder bird and Cougar • 1994 to 2011 Mustang

cannot be made until late in the afternoon, or even just before race time. Whenever a race program is postponed, or cancelled, a notice will be posted on our website (www.wyantgrouprace way.ca) and a voice message put on our Information Hot Line 306-651FAST (3278). Although we advise the media of

any postponements or cancellations, they cannot always pull advertisements that are already programmed into their systems. Radio and television announcers do their best to announce any changes. If you are in doubt please check the website or call the Information Hot Line.

A&W’s MS campaign grows every year By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca If you live in Canada, the odds of developing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are higher than anywhere else. “Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world,” said Erin Kuan, president of the Saskatchewan-Manitoba Division of the MS Society of Canada. “It’s unclear why that is. In fact, the causes of MS are still very much a mystery.” The MS Society of Canada estimates there are 100,000 Canadians living with the autoimmune disease, which affects the central nervous system – made up of the brain and spinal cord. The disease attacks myelin, the protective covering of the nerves, causing inflammation and damaging nerve fibres. MS is unpredictable and can cause a wide variety of symptoms including extreme fatigue, lack of coordination, weakness, vision impairment, cognitive problems and mood changes. A month-long educational and fundraising campaign by the MS Society of Canada and A&W Restaurants wrapped up August 25 with a one-day blitz to encourage Canadians to make a donation to the cause. One dollar from every Teen Burger purchased was contributed to the campaign. The partnership between the restaurant chain, its franchisees and staff, and the MS Society has been

very successful over the past nine years, said Kuan, who was at the Martensville A&W location for the final day of the campaign. “The ultimate goal of the research we fund is to find a cure, but it’s also to develop medications that slow down the progression of the disease,” she said. “We also promote wellness programs and support services for people that are affected by MS. “When you get a diagnosis of MS, that’s just the start of a long journey and you have a lot of questions,” she added. “The MS Society is a volunteer-based organization that helps people make positive choices for their future.” Kuan said progress is being made. Two decades ago, there were literally no medications to treat the disease. “Now we have over 10 – including some oral medications – that allow people to manage their symptoms,” she said. Tom Newitt, national marketing director for A&W, said he was encouraged by the Martensville A&W restaurant’s commitment to the local community. “I’m very impressed,” said Newitt. “It’s no surprise that this restaurant won our top award a few years ago. It’s one of the best in Canada, and we have 860 restaurants across the country.” Newitt said the company believes the campaign to

cause it hits close to home.” Newitt said he’s also impressed with the local A&W’s efforts to raise money for KidSport programs in Warman and Martensville. “If it’s successful, it could

be something that we encourage our franchisees to take on in other centres,” he said. “I’m very interested in learning more about it.” Last year, a custom-designed playhouse built by

students at Martensville High School raised several thousand dollars for the local KidSport campaign. This year, a similar project may be taken on by students at Warman High School.

The Saskatoon Stock Car Racing Association (SSCRA) Ltd. originated from the Saskatoon Stock Car Racing Club. The unincorporated Saskatoon Stock Car Racing Club was formed in 1954 and operated a stock car racing program out of the 8th Street Racing Oval, called the Motordrome, on land then owned by Andrew Hawrich and now an area between McKercher Drive and Moss Avenue in the City of Saskatoon. In 1968, as a result of the expansion of the City of Saskatoon, the SSCRA found itself looking for another piece of land to keep the sport of stock car racing growing. For a few years, beginning in 1970, the grandstand area at the current Prairieland Exhibition was the home of SSCRA and stock car racing in Saskatoon.

In 1971, a farmer just east of Saskatoon, Bill Kusch, offered the SSCRA a 23-acre parcel of land for $1 down and ten years to pay off the balance. Once this land was secured, George Frey, Al Bakke, and a few others went to the bank, offering up their homes as security and they obtained the financing needed to start construction of a new track called “Bridge City Speedway”. In 1999, the City of Saskatoon advised the SSCRA of its intention to annex the Corporation’s 23acre parcel of land into the boundaries of the City of Saskatoon. As was the case in 1968, this became necessary as a result of the continued growth and expansion of the city. Shortly after receipt of this news SSCRA formed a Track Relocation Committee and began investigating potential locations

for a new home. In 2004, a 35-acre parcel of land just north of the City of Saskatoon, in the Rural Municipality of Corman Park became available. The SSCRA purchased this property and construction work commenced in April 2005. In 2006, racing began at the brand new Auto Clearing Motor Speedway, which was renamed Wyant Group Raceway prior to the 2016 season. It has proven to be one of the best racing facilities in Canada! Each year, drivers from across Canada and the United States compete at this amazing facility. In addition to the NASCAR Pinty’s Series making annual stops, the track has also been home to non-racing events such as the Canada Remembers International Air Show as well as the Monsters and Mayhem monster truck show.

New school year “We have about 11,000 students from age four to 21 in our schools who are entrusted to our care every day,” said Kuzbik. “Those students are here to learn and to prepare for the future. What they learn in school forms the foundation for their lives. Kuzbik said teaching is not an easy profession. “If it was easy anybody could do it,” he said. “If it was easy we would never make mistakes along the way. But life is never easy. There’s an old saying that goes: ‘If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.’ We all face challenges, but together we can work together to overcome them and help students learn to achieve their goals.”

Over 700 Prairie Spirit School Division teachers gathered at Warman High School on Monday, August 29 for their annual general assembly to kick off the 2016-17 school year Saskatchewan Teachers Federation (STF) executive member Randy Cline told the gathering that teachers are looking to help shape the ‘transformational changes’ being initiated by the provincial government. “Change simply for the

sake of change isn’t always positive,” said Cline. “We are interested in promoting changes that are in the interests of students’ education.” Cline said the teachers association is initiating a campaign this fall to call

attention to the importance of public education. The organization is also gearing up for the beginning of negotiations on a new contract next May. The existing collective bargaining agreement expires in August 2017.

Radisson runner chalks up four national track championships

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Hylke van der Wal of Radisson reluctantly admits he may be slowing down in his old age. But you’d never know it from his medal haul at the Canadian Masters Athletics Track and Field championships in Toronto in mid-August. The 78-year-old former Dalmeny resident, who now calls Radisson home, won six medals at the national competition, held August 12-14 at York Lions Stadium. Four of those medals were for first place finishes in the 200 meters, 400 meters, 100 meter hurdles and 300 meter intermediate hurdles events. He also picked up bronze medals in the long jump and discus events. Van der Wal competes in the 75-79 masters age group category. “I’ve got one more year before I move up to the next age category,” said van der Wal (whose first name is pronounced ‘Hike’) in an interview on Tuesday, August 23. “The older you get the more disadvantaged you are, because there’s a big difference between somebody who’s 75 and somebody who’s 79 when it comes to what you’re able to do. “But I hope to keep running as long as I’m still breathing.” Winning medals in all the events he entered was an accomplishment, but van der Wal said he regrets not being able to enter his favourite competition, the 2000 meter steeplechase. Earlier this year he developed a hernia, which puts a damper on his endurance. He’s currently waiting to get the call from his doctor to have an operation on it. In the meantime, he’s headed to Vancouver for the America’s Masters Games track and field competition slated for August 27-31. He’s looking forward to making a good showing, but is realistic about his medal chances. “These are the best masters athletes from across North America,” he said. “It’s one thing to win a Canadian championship, but the United States has some pretty amazing athletes. I know, because I’ve gone up against them before.” Van der Wal says staying fit has helped keep both his mind and body sharp. In fact, he credits his healthy regimen of diet and daily exercise with keeping him on the right side of the grass. Several years ago he went through cancer surgery that resulted in most of his stomach being removed. “I have to be real careful about what I eat,” he said. “Fitness has helped me stay alive.” He also says training on grass and dirt trails in Radisson has helped. “Pavement isn’t great to run on,” he said. Van der Wal started competing in track and field events in Canada 64 years ago. He still has medals from decades ago that are now legitimate collectors’ items. “I have some from events organized by the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada,” said van der Wal. “They all have stories behind them.

Health system seeks feedback on restructuring Saskatchewan residents and interested organizations are invited to provide feedback to the recently-announced advisory panel examining the restructuring of Saskatchewan’s health care system. On August 18, the Minister of Health appointed a three person advisory panel to review the current Regional Health Authority (RHA) structure and provide advice on a system with fewer RHAs in Saskatchewan. Panel members invited public input in an August 29 press release. The panel will also look at services that could be delivered more efficiently and effectively on a provincial scale, examine RHA board governance and accountability, and identify ways to enhance measurement of health system performance. “Our panel wants to support a robust and open dialogue with key partners and stakeholders throughout this process,” panel member Dr. Dennis Kendel said. “The panel wants to ensure the patient is at the centre of a redefined system, which will be structured and governed to best support and improve patient care.”

The panel is now accepting online written submissions from all interested individuals and groups. The submission form can be accessed at www.saskatchewan.ca. Submission deadline is September 26. The submission form includes options for responding to each of the four areas within the panel’s mandate, though there is no requirement to complete all four. “Restructuring the health system is an extremely complex process,” panel member Brenda Abrametz said. “The panel welcomes opinions from different perspectives to enhance our abilities to make informed recommendations to the government.” “We sincerely appreciate everyone’s input in this important review that will help to shape the future of Saskatchewan’s health system structure,” panel member Tyler Bragg said. The Advisory Panel will provide scheduled updates throughout the process. All submissions are part of a consultation process that may be released publicly upon the completion of the panel’s work. Personal information and personal health information will not be disclosed.

Warman shortstop named national all-star

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Payton Allan of Warman was completely surprised when she was recently named top shortstop in the country in the U16 softball division. The 15-year-old had been picked up by the Saskatoon Phantom Bantam A Team after they qualified for the Canadian National Softball Championships. The Montreal tournament took place from August 17 to 22 and featured 25 teams and over 300 participating athletes. “It was definitely a really great experience and something I don’t think I’ll forget,” said Allan. She had played against the Phantoms all season as a firstyear member of the Twin City Angels team. Following round robin competition Payton was named to the 2016 U16 All Star Team as the All Star Top Short Stop. “They went through introductions and they started calling the awards for positions and when they got to shortstop, I was like, ‘Oh I can’t wait to see who it is, maybe its someone I know.’ And then I was, ‘wait, that’s my name!’ It was exciting,” she said. “I went up onto the diamond and they shake your hand and give you an award and then you go and take your spot on the field with all the other all-stars.” In addition to being evaluated based on the position you play, Allan’s batting average of .538 for the round robin series was factored in. The Phantoms won three of their six games, while the Surrey, BC team took the championship. Allan has benefited from some quality mentoring and coaching to reach this point. It started at about age four with T-ball and parent-pitch and some help from dad in the back-yard. Through a connection, Allan became the bat girl

Three players earn all-star honours Three members of the Warman Poly Plus Pride softball team were named to the 2016 U16 Boys Canadian Fastpitch Championship allstar team. The three players recently competed in the U16 Boys Canadian Fastpitch Championship in Owen Sound, On-

tario August 10–14. The players who received special recognition at this Championship include: Kobey Clarke of Warman (All Star Top Catcher); Matthew Ikert of Warman (All Star Top Short Stop); and Errin Rousell of Asquith (All Star Top Outfielder).

Athletes share their success stories at sports dinner By MACKENZIE HEINTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Legends Centre was packed on Thursday, August 25, with sports celebrities in town to interact with their fans. The 10th annual Warman Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction was a success with over 750 people at the event. Proceeds from this year’s event will be put towards construction of a second ice surface at the Legends Centre. The evening’s special guests were NHL Hall of Famers Paul Coffey and Ray Bourque, Major League Baseball Hall of Fame member Roberto Alomar, and former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm. A few members of the 2016 National Lacrosse League Champion Saskatchewan Rush attended, including Nik Bilic, Robert Church, Mark Matthews and Ben McIntosh in addition to team president Lee Genier. Rob Bagg, Matt Walter and Brendon LaBatte of the Saskatchewan Roughriders also made a guest appearance to meet fans and have photos taken with them. The night began with a casual meet and greet as fans had a chance to inter-

act with the sports stars. As dinner wrapped up, emcee Drew Remenda began interviewing the celebrity guests. The importance of having a supportive family was the common theme during each celebrity guest’s interview. And they couldn’t have had the success they’ve had without out the support from their loved ones. Each of the athletes has reached the highest level of their respective sport. Coffey has been a part of four Stanley Cup championship teams and Bourque won his lone Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche. Alomar won back-to-back World Series with the Toronto Blue Jays and Holly Holm has worn the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship belt. Three of the athletes actually became champions in their respective field early on in their career and it took Bourque his whole career to become a Stanley Cup champion. “To finally to win it, was actually a humongous relief off of my shoulders and I had to go somewhere else… (which) I never thought I would do,” Bourque said. “I always thought ‘did I need a (Stanley) cup’ in my career? For the longest time I didn’t think I did, but once I won it

Coffey credited Bourque for leaving a team he played for most of his career to chase that dream of winning the Stanley Cup. “Ray had the heart and the will to leave a very, very comfortable place where he played 20 some odd years to go and pursue something he wanted to get, which was the Stanley Cup. And that’s another reason why I respect him.” Three of the honourary guests are in the hall of fame for their respective sports and each had their own unique journey to get there. For Alomar, he left his home country of Puerto Rico to pursue his dream of becoming a professional baseball player. He was 17-years-old when the San Diego Padres drafted him

and it was quite a culture shock. “I didn’t know how to speak English so it was really, really, a challenge to myself,” Alomar explained. He then added that’s why it was so important to be close to his family. “That’s when you really need family, so they can give you advice and continue to encourage you through the ups and downs.” Alomar, who continues to be an ardent supporter of the Jays, also mentioned that he wouldn’t of had become a major league ball player if it wasn’t for the support from his parents.

Alomar’s dad, Sandy Alomar Sr., played major league baseball for 15 years and his brother, Sandy Jr., also played in the big leagues, which was one of the main reasons why Alomar wanted to play baseball professionally. “They gave the right advice and they knew I had the talent to play baseball, but I always wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps,” Alomar said. For both Bourque and Coffey, their fathers were very supportive the moment they started playing hockey. “We’d drive back (home) and everytime after the game he’ll go ‘great game

buddy’ and I’m looking at him and said ‘what were you watching?’” Bourque recalled, inciting laughter from the crowd. Coffey added that his father always said that if “you’re any good (hockey scouts) will find you.” That, he said, just made him work that much harder to become a professional hockey player. Another important lesson he learned from his father was that sports are not fair – you either win or lose – and he thinks that mentality is what is missing in today’s society. Continued on page 22

Holm looks to reclaim title

Continued from page 21

Holm determined to reclaim championship

Coffey mentioned that just recently he saw a youngster with his hockey gear on and asked what the score of the game was. Then the child’s mom said that they did not keep score. That didn’t sit well with Coffey because he is of the belief that sports are meant to be played to determine a winner. Holm, meanwhile, has experienced great success in her fighting career and is now recovering from a thumb injury that she sustained in her last bout. “I was blessed that I walked into the right gym when I first started fighting,” she explained of the gym in her home city of Albuquerque, NM. Prior to ascending the ranks of the UFC, Holm was a tough competitor in kickboxing and boxing. She reached the top of her sport by defeating Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia. Holm said that a lot of physical training goes into the sport but having the right mindset is more important. “The mental part of the sport is 80 percent and I’d say 15 percent is cardio and five per cent is skill,” Holm noted. “You can have all of the skill in the world but you can’t use it if you’re not mentally (ready).” She mentioned that being mentally strong and ready gave her that extra edge in her fight against Rousey. The day before the fight the pair were face to face. Holm said she noticed that Rousey was shaking and wasn’t sure

Former UFC Bantamweight champion Holly Holm was one of the many professional athletes who took time to meet and have photos taken with fans at the 10th annual Warman Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction on August 25 MACKENZIE HIENTZ CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

if it was nerves. Holm admitted that she gets those same shakes but tries to channel them into something positive as. When it came to the actual fight, Holm went into it knowing that it wasn’t simply an opportunity to challenge the best in the world in Rousey, but that she could win the match. “I told my coach that I’m not going for a participation ribbon. I’m going for the gold.” After winning the championship by knockout, Holm said she felt selfish as she saw Rousey down on the mat. She then noticed her coaches and family and reminded herself that she really couldn’t have won without

them supporting her. After losing her championship to Miesha Tate in the co-main event of UFC 196, Holm dropped a decision to Valentina Shevchenko back in July in Chicago. Coming off surgery to repair her left hand, Holm said she is working hard to get back into the ring and just wants to “kick something...anything”. It’s the first time she has experienced back-to-back loses in her career. The evening concluded with a live auction with the highest bid item being $4,400 for a framed and signed Gordie Howe Detroit Red Wings authentic wool jersey. Ray Bourque’s Boston Bruins signed jersey sold for $3,600 while Paul Coffey’s

Saskatoon Co-op Job Fair

signed Edmonton Oilers jersey went for $2,800. Holly Holm’s replica UFC championship belt was auctioned off for $2,000 and Roberto Alomar’s signed Toronto Blue Jays jersey fetched $1,900. A surprise auction item was brought forward as well. The Roberto Alomar package featured a pair of tickets to two of the Jays’ games against the Boston Red Sox (with Alomar in is private suite at Rogers Centre for the first game of the series and two lower bowl tickets for the next day’s game), hotel rooms at Rogers Centre for two nights as well as transportation to and from the airport. As the winning bidder was being congratulated, Alomar offered up a second identical package to the losing bidder if they wanted to pay the same $4,250 as the first package sold for. A third package was successfully sold with all three packages raising a total of $12,750. Saskatchewan Rush Lacrosse season tickets and four autographed jerseys were also included in the live auction and went for $3,300. Several dozen silent auction items were also sold, including several NHL and NFL signed jerseys, a baseball bat signed by Edwin Encarnación of the Jays, a Peyton Manning autographed Denver Broncos replica helmet, a skate signed by Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning and a signed Connor McDavid jersey that brought in $1,200.

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Saskatoon Blades head coach Dean Brockman talks to players during the wrap-up of the team’s fitness evaluation session at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion on Thursday, August 25. A total of 54 players attended the team’s training camp last week. Among those vying for a spot on the final roster are Troy Kosmynka of the Warman Wildcats Midget AA program and Jackson Halperl of the Sask Valley Vipers Bantam AA program.

Sloboshan set for upcoming Saskatoon Blades season By SASKATOON BLADES STAFF www.saskatoonblades.com Wyatt Sloboshan of Vanscoy knows there’s pressure to perform this season and he’s ready to take on the challenge. Entering his third season with the Blades, the local product is hoping for a longer season this year. Like many of the returning Blades, Wyatt certainly isn’t satisfied with where the team finished the last two seasons. “I think all us should be a little upset with how the last couple of seasons have went, and everyone should come into camp with a little fire in their gut, ready to go.” said Sloboshan who is eagerly awaiting

to start the hockey season. Wyatt also added with the extended offseason from not making the playoffs, he expects everyone to show up in tip-top shape. “This year is going to be a lot different than last year, everyone is going to have it in the back of their head that we have to win. We need to give the fans the playoffs, everyone here has had enough losing and it’s time to take the next step.” explained the Blades forward. A bold statement that will likely be echoed in the dressing room come training camp. Sloboshan says his approach this season will be a little different. Being an experienced play-

er in the league and having grown up in Saskatoon, he hopes to help the incoming players adjust to life in the Bridge City and the WHL. Leading by example on and off the ice and making sure everyone is on the same page. Wyatt also said he’s fortunate to be playing in Saskatoon, living at home with his family and being comfortable. Although he also understands added pressure comes with being a home town player. “The Blades are the team I watched when I was a little kid, they were my favourite players and always my favourite team. So there’s a little more pressure always having family and friends at

the game and you never want to disappoint them.” Sloboshan racked up 44 points in 66 outings in his sophomore campaign last year. Not only does he hope to increase that total but Wyatt also wasn’t too happy with his plus/minus of -38. “My plus/minus was my biggest flaw last year, and it’s not alright. I need to get off to a good start this year and make sure I don’t let that slip again. But most importantly this year it’s all about winning. I’ve played in the league for two years now and there’s no excuses for mistakes, I’m one of the veteran players now and I need to make sure I show up every game and help us win.”

Sell your lawnmower and grab your passport. It’s time to enjoy the carefree lock-and-leave lifestyle that comes with condo living.

Head Coach Dean Brockman is confident Sloboshan can take his game to another level, and provide a great deal of leadership. “Wyatt knows the importance of the upcoming season. He’s had a heavy training program this off-season on and off the ice.” said Brockman. “I think Wyatt realizes that as he goes, we go. That’s a bonus for us and he’s more than ready to take that next step as a leader and provide that to our younger guys.” The Blades training camp wrapped up last week. The Blades host the Prince Albert Raiders in pre-season action at the Legends Centre in Warman on Saturday, September 10.

Province proactive on transportation for projected high crop yields The Government of Saskatchewan, along with grain producers and customers, are continuing discussions with transportation service providers to prepare for a large crop this season. Despite localized issues, projected yields are expected to be above average for cereal and oilseed crops. “We are encouraged to see crops across Saskatchewan doing particularly well,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “Getting products to market is critical to our success and, in 2013, we saw the challenges a large crop presented shippers, railways and ports. We don’t want to see a repeat situation this year.” With improved varieties and agronomic practices, production levels are growing in the province. The need for enhanced transparency and accountability within the grain handling and transportation system has remained a priority since 2013. There have been numerous requests to find solutions to ensure producers get their products to cus-

tomers safely, efficiently, reliably and at a fair cost. “In early July, we wrote the federal government and the two railways to advise of a potential large crop,” Stewart said. “We stressed the importance of ensuring the grain handling and transportation system is prepared to move this year’s crop in a timely and efficient manner.” “We continue to urge Transport Canada to ensure contingencies are in place should issues arise this season,” then-Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said prior to last week’s Cabinet shuffle. “In the long term, we want to see changes to The Canada Transportation Act that ensure Saskatchewan businesses are able to move goods reliably and at a competitive price to our international customers, while still ensuring public safety.” “We hope all parties will step up and do what is necessary to move the crop this year,” Stewart said. “For example, if there is a strike at the Port of Prince Rupert, we encourage the federal government to consid-

er back-to-work legislation to ensure the timely movement of harvest.” Transportation continues to be a priority for members of the New West Partnership (NWP), with the New West Transportation Infrastructure Summit in 2014 focusing on strengthening collaboration between the supply chain players and building capacity for longterm growth in western Canada. Since then, the Pacific Gateway Alliance, a NWP working group focusing on performance and market access, has made significant progress to better manage system capacity, including the hosting of a grain transportation workshop in the spring. An open dialogue between producers, shippers and grain transportation service providers is necessary as harvest approaches. Saskatchewan products are in high demand across the globe and getting goods to their destination on time maintains the province’s credibility and relationship with international customers.

SHAYLYNN MCMAHON | CANADIAN FOODGRAINS BANK

Aerial photo showing 25-30 of the 148 antique threshing machines at the Harvesting Hope world record attempt at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin, Manitoba on Sunday, July 31

Antique farm machines break world record in bid to help end global hunger By SHAYLYNN MCMAHON Canadian Foodgrains Bank Manitoba became home to another world record July 31 when 139 antique threshing machines harvested a field simultaneously for 15 minutes at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin, Man. “This was a once-in-a lifetime event,” said Elliot Sims, co-organizer of Harvesting Hope: A World Record to Help the Hungry, held at the 62nd Manitoba Threshermen’s Reunion & Stampede at the Museum. “You just don’t see stuff like this anymore,” he said. “The energy from the participants and crowd was amazing. You could feel the pride and excitement.” Nearly 8,000 people came to the Museum to watch 750 volunteers from across Canada and the U.S. break the Guinness World Record for “most threshing machines operating simultaneously.” The previous record was 111 machines held by a group from St. Albert, Ontario.

The record is unofficial until it is certified by Guinness World Records. Altogether, 75 acres of winter wheat was bound and 30,000 sheaves were cut to be threshed during the event. Combined, the machines were capable of threshing approximately 17,000 bushels of wheat per hour, with 6,100 horsepower of engine capacity driving them. “This was truly a celebration of our agricultural heritage,” said Sims. “We’re all very happy to have succeeded, and the feedback we’re getting is great. Everyone seems to have really enjoyed themselves.” Funds raised at the event will be split between the Manitoba Agricultural Museum, which hosted the world record attempt, and Canadian Foodgrains Bank. A final tally will be available in a few weeks. The funds going to the Foodgrains Bank will be used to help small-scale farm families in Ethiopia,

Tanzania and Kenya learn to grow more and better food so they can better provide for their families. The funds going to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum will be used to help it continue to preserve Manitoba’s agricultural heritage. “We were really proud to be a part of this recordbreaking event,” said John Longhurst, Director of Resources and Public Engagement with the Foodgrains Bank. “Since the Foodgrains Bank was created by and for Canadian farmers, it’s only fitting, and a huge honour, to be part of the effort to break the record for using antique farm machines, and to also raise money to help end global hunger.” Founded in 1954, the Manitoba Agricultural Museum celebrates and preserves Manitoba’s rich rural heritage by providing visitors with interactive experiences of pioneer life and maintaining Canada’s largest collection of operating vintage

agricultural machinery. The museum is operated by 700 volunteers and welcomed over 18,000 visitors from around the world to its facilities in 2014. The Canadian Foodgrains

Rising debt levels threaten western farm operations By SARAH PITTMAN Canaada West Foundation Troy Media Features

For the 23rd consecutive year, Canadian farm debt has hit a new record. In the West, the debt load is particularly severe, raising questions about the future of this vital industry. Farmers in British Columbia are faring best, with only $6 billion in debt. Manitoba and Saskatchewan are middle of the road, with more than $8 billion and $13 billion respectively. Alberta’s farmers, however, carry an eye-popping $20 billion in debt. In Alberta and Saskatchewan, outstanding farm debt has increased more than $5 billion in the last five years. The only thing of more concern than those numbers is that no one is talking about them. I grew up on a farm in southern Alberta. Growing up in a farming community, I learned early on that debt was just part of the game if you want to grow, or even maintain, your operation. But it was only recently that I learned just how much debt western farmers are carrying. There are several reasons for this, but a few stand out as particularly important. As the debt load of each western province has increased, the number of farmers in each western province has decreased substantially. In other words, farms are being bought, sold, and consolidated into massive farms.

For farming, it is true that debt is often a necessary evil. You need capital to buy the land, animals, and equipment for expanding a farming operation, which increasingly means taking on more debt. Debt is often required for operations of all sizes - buying land, replacing equipment, buying feed and making up for years with low prices. Another factor, perhaps the most important, is the prime interest rate. This rate is established by the Bank of Canada on eight predetermined dates per year. The prime interest rate will be changed if the Bank of Canada thinks it will help fight inflation in the long term, or will help a number of the bank’s short-term goals, such as fighting unemployment. Therefore, even though farming can have influence on the prime interest rate, it has no greater influence than any other industry in Canada. The prime interest rate can and will rise, regardless of the impact on the farming industry. In the past 23 years, we have had mercifully low prime interest rates. The payments that a farmer makes on his/her operating loan is based on their credit score and the prime interest rate. As a result, farmers have had lower interest rates than what they would have had in the past, enabling them to go deeper into the red they would have in the past. Some debt is neces-

sary. But how much is too much? At what point do we need to decide that we are in way over our heads, and, sooner rather than later, we are going to be in serious trouble? Any farmers who had a farm in the early 1980s will surely remember the debt crisis. In the 1970s, prime interest rates were low. However, as a result of several factors, the prime interest rate skyrocketed in the early 1980s, from 8.5 per cent four years earlier to an average of 19.29 per cent by 1981. While the prime interest rate isn’t expected to make that kind of jump anytime soon, the prime interest rate is bound to change, and with it the interest rate on farmer’s operating loans. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. While the staggering amount of debt that Western Canadian farmers is in is an important part of the story, what is even more important is how farmers are dealing with it. The Canada West Foundation is trying to understand that part of the story. We want to hear from the people who are the centre of this story - farmers.

This ‘Dragon’ and beer baroness represents new generation of producers By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca When Manjit Minhas became the newest ‘Dragon’ on the hit show Dragon’s Den last year, her brewery had already grown into the 10th largest in North America. Manjit and her brother Ravinder built Minhas Breweries and Distillery into a powerhouse with over 90 brands of beers, spirits, liqueurs and wines. Their products are sold in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia and Ontario, as well as 43 states and 16 other countries in Europe, Asia and South America. Their companies rely heavily on prairie producers to create their products. Minhas needs barley to make beer and she sources it from both Alberta and Saskatchewan growers. “We are one of the biggest buyers of barley from the Alberta barley commission. It’s the best barley in the world,” she said. “We use a lot of barley from Biggar, Saskatchewan, for our malt.” Minhas began her ventures at age 19. The wealth of experience she has gained since then dovetails nicely with her role on Dragon’s Den. “I am able to help bright Canadian entrepreneurs see their dreams come to fruition and help them along the way if I can, as far as investment contacts, manufacturing, retailing and marketing - all the things I do on a daily basis that I have become an expert at over the last 15 years,” she said. That expertise translates into a whole lot of savvy when it comes to navigating the agricultural industry. It’s an industry that has undergone significant change over the past several decades. Survival in the farming industry has increasingly meant consolidation and developing economies of scale. “It really is a very interesting industry that I think will continue to change, as far as automation, mechanization, and new types of crops are concerned,” said MInhas. In the rapidly changing world of technology and innovation, the ability to be flexible is critical. “It’s easy to get left behind if you don’t keep up with new equipment and new technologies,”

Minhas says people forget all the time that the main ingredient in beer is an agricultural product. “There is a massive western Canadian connection to great quality craft beer. There’s so many different types and flavours and all those things come from fabulous farmers actually doing innovative things to get better yields out of them and get different flavours out of them.” The base however, is still basic ingredients like barley, wheat, hops, yeast that come from Alberta and Saskatchewan farmers. And while she says agriculture may not always be the sexy thing to talk about, “I really do believe farmers are the backbone [of our country] whether they know it or the world knows it or not,” she said.

Manjit Minhas’ business acumen was recently tapped for the hit show the Dragon’s Den she says. “We need to be able to pivot fast and see trends and make changes fast and be relevant constantly,” she says, adding that the main changes come in the areas of manufacturing or marketing. “Being on top of both of these things is very important to keep us relevant and to keep us profitable and to keep us growing.” Minhas has tapped into market trends that gauge the pulse of consumers That ability to tap into market trends has factored into her success. The current generation is increasingly concerned not only with growing healthy food, but with greater social responsibility, something Minhas takes very seriously. She recently created a special 48-can pack of beers for Costco which uses less packaging materials than any comparable product in Canada. She believes this is the sort of business practice that can make your company more attractive to consumers. “I think everybody wants to believe and know that the company they’re buying their products from are responsible citizens in their industry and in this world. It’s very important for us all

to take our own initiative within our businesses or in our manufacturing processes to be better global citizens,” she said. It’s not simply about what the market will tolerate, it’s about what the market is ready to embrace. It’s not just about products, it’s about company practices. Being proactive in other ways can also build consumer trust. While there is no legal imperative to do so, Minhas’ breweries voluntarily include a Management Warning on all their beer cans, encouraging people to drink responsibly.

Alberta church, foodgrains bank fight hunger with flowers In August Residents of Drayton Valley, Alberta, and the Brazeau County area, had a chance to stroll amongst fairies and English-style flowerbeds and enjoy beautiful gardening— and raise money for the fight against global hunger. Called the Care of Creation Garden Tour, the event—which featured 13 gardens—was organized by the Drayton Valley United Church as a fundraiser for Canadian Foodgrains Bank, a partnership of 15 churches and church agencies working together to end global hunger. For Dianne Nikiforuk, who organized the event, the tour was a way raise money for an organization that aligns with The United Church of Canada’s values. “It’s that effort to contribute to a more just society, both locally and globally, that is a value of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and the United Church,” she says. “It’s fundamental to our Christian faith.” Finding a way to do that in an Alberta oil community, where farms are few and far between, was a bit of a challenge. “We have a lot more oil fields than we do farms,” laughs Nikiforuk. “But we do have gardens, and wonderful ones too.” And with that, the Care of Creation Garden Tour emerged. For Nikiforuk, the garden tour was a way to celebrate Drayton Valley and Brazeau County’s garden community, while also raising money to help people who don’t have enough to eat. She says they received a lot of good feedback from the tour participants, and she hopes to make the tour an annual event. “We made it very clear that this was not a contest,”

Agricultural producers shape public perception: FCC survey Canadian producers recognize the importance of public perception and see themselves playing a lead role in sharing information about their operations and practices to maintain their social license to operate, according to a recent Farm Credit Canada (FCC) Vision panel survey. FCC’s Producer Perspectives on Social License survey shows more than two thirds (68 per cent) of producers who responded to the survey believe public perception will have a growing impact on their operation over the next five years. Three quarters (72 per cent) of respondents also indicated they are comfortable sharing information about their operation practices in order to strengthen public trust and maintain their social license to operate. “The good news is that most producers are aware of the potential impact public perception can have on their operations and are willing to share information about their practices with anyone interested in learning more about how food is produced,” said Marty Seymour, FCC director of industry and stakeholder relations. “Canada’s agriculture

sector produces among the safest, highest-quality food in the world and it’s done in a socially responsible manner,” Seymour said. “The industry and individual producers take seriously their social license to operate, which is earned by maintaining public trust and confidence in what is produced and how it’s produced.” The survey found that almost half (46 per cent) of respondents have concerns about social license and their top concern (80 per cent) is new regulations that could result from public demands. While most producers want to share information and talk about their agricultural practices, a recent survey by the new Canadian Centre for Food Integrity indicated most consumers are willing to listen and interested in learning about where their food comes from and how it is grown. The Canadian CFI Public Trust Survey, released on May 31, showed 93 per cent of consumers know little or nothing about Canadian farming practices, and a majority (60 per cent) of those respondents indicated they want to know more about farming practices. The same survey indicat-

ed farmers are viewed the most favourably – ahead of medical professionals, scientific researchers and government officials – in providing information about food and food production. According to the FCC survey, 82 per cent of respondents are motivated to share information with the public to help them better understand agricultural practices. The survey also showed 85 per cent of producers already share information with others beyond fellow producers and operators, 34 per cent host tours of their operations and 31 per cent respond to public comments and photos on social media. Seymour said the industry-led initiative – Agriculture More Than Ever – is encouraging producers to connect with consumers to develop a better understanding of agriculture practices in Canada. Launched more than four years ago, it has attracted over 470 partner organizations and 2,300 individuals committed to creating positive perceptions of agriculture. The Social License Vision panel survey was conducted from April 28 to May 3, 2016, generated 2,739 responses, a response rate of 63 per cent.

Concert series raises funds for Canadian Foodgrains Bank With the last notes now sung, the first-ever Spring into Song concert series for Canadian Foodgrains Bank has successfully wrapped up. The 41 concerts, performed by community and church choirs from Charlottetown to Vancouver Island, raised almost $80,000 for the Foodgrains Bank’s Conservation Agriculture project in East Africa. After a 3:1 match from the Government of Canada, a total of $320,000 was made available to the project to help 50,000 farm families in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania adapt to a changing climate and increase yields through crop rotation, minimizing soil disturbance and covering the soil. Altogether, over 900 people sang in the choirs or were involved in organizing the concerts. About 4,000 people turned out to enjoy the music, and to learn more about the Foodgrains Bank. The concert series, which was conceived and organized by Ron Klusmeier and Christina Bogucki, featured the music of Klusmeier, a well-known Canadian choral composer. “I am profoundly grateful for the support received from so many Canadians

who participated in this year’s Spring into Song concerts,” he says. “What started as a dream manifested itself as an outpouring of song and caring in communities from coastto-coast.” The concerts were wellreceived by local organizers and audience members alike. “We had a choir of 25 who sounded like 50,” says Diane Kjorven, who led a choir in Prince George, B.C. “The audience participated when invited and seemed to enjoy themselves,” she adds. “The smiles on their faces just increased my joy.” Former United Church Moderator Walter Farquharson attended the Spring into Song concert in Fort Qu’appelle, Saskatchewan with his wife, Joan. “We were delighted by

the Spring into Song presentation,” he says. “It was so moving and so effective.” The concerts also encouraged participants to use their own voices by sending a postcards to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asking the Canadian government to increase its support for small-scale farmers in the developing world. A total of 2,500 postcards were signed and sent. New music and supporting resources are being developed for a new series of concerts 2017. “We want to involve more choirs and reach even more people next year,” says Klusmeier. “Through singing we can celebrate God’s goodness and come together to share our vision of helping those who don’t have enough to eat.”

June manufacturing sales rank Saskatchewan first among provinces Manufacturing sales saw a strong increase in activity to begin the summer, with Saskatchewan ranking first among the provinces in terms of month-to-month percentage change. On a seasonally-adjusted basis, manufacturing sales in Saskatchewan increased by 4.3 per cent in June 2016 compared to May 2016, enough for top spot. Food and chemicals, wood products and machinery manufacturing were sectors that experienced increases. In June 2016, compared to June 2015, manufacturing sales were up by 2.9 per cent—second in percentage growth among the provinces—to a value of $1.2 billion.

Monchuk named CEO of FFS SK

Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan (FFC SK) has appointed Clinton Monchuk as Executive Director effective October 1. Monchuk is tasked with promoting awareness of the province’s agriculture industry and is currently the CEO of the Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan. FFC SK is a non-profit group that seeks to build confidence in Saskatchewan food production – to let consumers know that the food we produce is healthy, safe and responsibly grown; that farmers and ranchers are innovative, technologically advanced and care deeply about the animals and land they work with. With less than two per cent of Canadians having a direct link to the farm, concerted consumer outreach is more important than ever. “We need to share what we do, how we do it and why it matters to all of us in a language and in ways that consumers can understand and appreciate.” says Shannon Meyers, Chair of the FFC SK Board, “Clinton has a contagious passion for agriculture and will do an exceptional job of spreading that message.” Monchuk grew up outside of Lanigan, SK on a family dairy, beef and grain Continued on page B15 Please see Farm and Food Care Sask.

“The mark of a diversified economy is one that shows growth and activity in sectors unrelated to other industries,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said in an August 16 news release. “Our manufacturers continue to do what they do best, and our commitment to maintaining a competitive, business-friendly operating environment still sets Saskatchewan apart from other jurisdictions.” The province offers a variety of advantages to manufacturers, including a Corporate Income Tax rate as low as 10 per cent (depending on the type of operation), no Corporate Capital Tax, a 5.0 per cent refund-

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19

Capricorn, gifts might start coming your way and you don’t understand all the generosity. Accept what is offered and recognize that you deserve it.

Gazette CLARK S CROSSING

It’s easy to expect others to keep your pace when you have all of your ducks in a row. However, not everyone works on your schedule. Allow time to catch up.

PISCES February 19– March 20

Pisces, promising more than you can possibly deliver at this time will not win you any admirers. Others will appreciate your honesty.

ARIES March 21– April 19

A playful and generous spirit make you a favorite friend to have around, Aries. Many may be clamoring for your attention, and you do not know where to direct it first.

TAURUS April 20– May 20

Taurus, uncertainty has you wondering about the direction in which your life may be going. It’s a time for reflection. Look to a parent or trusted advisor for guidance.

GEMINI May 21– June 21

Romance may get in the way of logic this week, Gemini. This is sure to be exciting, but try to maintain your focus. Keep communication with your significant other open.

CANCER June 22– July 22

Cancer, do your best to overhaul your finances. Some recent purchases might have made you vulnerable, and now is a great time to regain control.

LEO July 23– August 22

Leo, a sudden burst of creativity will inspire you and others in the days ahead. Keep up the great work you’re doing, and don’t be afraid to take chances.

VIRGO August 23– September 22

You are given to behaving selflessly, Virgo. But this week you can still help others and take your needs into consideration. Ask for help if you need it.

LIBRA September 23– October 22

Libra, resist the urge to overindulge in food or beverages this week. Good times are ahead and you want to be able to enjoy them to the fullest.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21

Scorpio, you’re focused on furthering your career, but responsibilities at home must be weighed before making a final decision. Don’t give up; just reevaluate your timing.
