Harvest time TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Harvest operations are well underway as farmers across the province are working long hours to bring in the crop. This outfit was busy in a field just south of Hague last week. The provincial crop report released September 1 indicated farmers are making good harvest progress. Eighteen per cent of the 2016 crop has been combined and 32 per cent is swathed or ready to straight-cut. This is ahead of the five year (2011-2015) average of 17 per cent combined for this time of year.

A total of 22,000 cubic meters of earth were moved during construction of a $1 million stormwater retention pond in Osler TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Osler storm pond nearing completion

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A million dollar stormwater reservoir in Osler will help alleviate the town’s surface water drainage problem while adding a much-needed recreational facility.

Osler Mayor Ben Buhler said the completion of the storm pond reservoir on the eastern edge of the Osler School property is the first phase of a multi-year project.

“Our plan is to do the storm pond this year and to do the streets next year,” said Buhler in an interview in early September. “We’ll be digging up a number of streets next year to lay storm sewers that will be connected to the new pond.”

A total of 22,000 cubic meters of dirt are being moved to make the stormwater reservoir. The fill from the project is being used to construct toboggan hills on the west side of the school grounds.

The reservoir area itself will be grassed in and serve as a large soccer field.

“It will be quite a bit larger than a regulation size soccer pitch, so that will allow it to be used for several mini-soccer games played simultaneously across the width of the field,” said Buhler.

The project is a partnership between the town and the school division, said Buhler.

“It’s a win-win project,” said Buhler. “The town is paying for the storm pond, but it is being built on the school division property.”

The initial work was done in partnership with Great Plains College in Warman, where students in the heavy equipment operator course were given practical experience doing excavation work. The final phase of the project is being done by MacEwen Constructors.

Respected Osler town councilor passes away from cancer

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Osler town councilor Sarah F. Hiebert passed away from cancer at Rosthern Union Hospital on Saturday, August 27.

“She was a very young 75 years old,” said Osler Mayor Ben Buhler. “We will miss her very much because she was a big part of our community for so many years.”

Hiebert was nearing the end of her second consecutive term as a town councilor. She was first elected in 2009.

But she was no stranger to town council meetings, having served for 28 years as administrator in the town office until her retirement in 2000.

“She was the kind of person who never gave up on anything,” said Buhler. “She had a genuine love for this community, and she showed it in a lot of different ways.

She always wanted to make this town a better place, and she did it step by step. She was all about doing the little things right.”

Hiebert had been diagnosed with cancer several years ago, and after her first round of chemotherapy, had returned to council with a clean bill of health when her cancer went into remission.

But last June, the disease struck her again with a vengeance, and this time the chemotherapy wasn’t effective. After several weeks in Royal University Hospital, Hiebert was transferred to Rosthern Hospital in late August, where she passed away.

Buhler said earlier this spring, Hiebert had told him she was thinking of running again for another term on council in the fall.

“If she had been healthy, I have no doubt she would have put her name forward again,” said Buhler. “I appreciated her on council for a number of reasons. She had a lot of experience and was a very down-to-earth, practical person. She had her own ideas and was never shy about putting them forward, but she was also very willing to listen to others and see different points of view.”

Osler Chief Administrative Officer Sandra MacArthur said Hiebert’s greatest legacy is the community’s annual Canada Day parade.

“She was the one who organized the first parade 36 years ago,” said MacArthur.

“She not only kept it going for 35 years without a break, but also made it one of the best in the Valley area.

“This past year was the

first year she didn’t do all the organizing work, so it was kind of emotional for the rest of us. She had trained someone last year and turned it over, because she wasn’t well at that point.

But in late June, she was still phoning from her hospital bed to make sure all the last-minute details were being taken care of.”

Hiebert’s funeral was held Thursday, September 1 at the Osler Mennonite Church. The chapel where she had been a member of the congregation for decades was packed, as her family, friends, and those whose lives she touched gathered to pay their final respects.

Her generosity was evident in her final wish that donations in lieu of flowers be made to the Osler Fire Department and/or Osler Parks and Recreation, or the Mennonite Central Committee.

Hiebert was born at Bergthaler, near Rosthern, and later moved to

Waldheim with her family.

She lost her father at a very young age, and was plagued by health problems herself for many years. Despite leaving school after Grade 9 to earn money to help support her family, she eventually completed her Grade 12 GED, and later earned a Local Administrator certificate from the University of Regina.

She was a devoted mother to her two boys, Leonard and Timothy, and also to her two “extended children,” Martin and Mary Sommerfield.

She worked at the Waldheim Co-op and Waldheim Hospital before marrying Bill Peters in 1959 and moving to Osler, where she worked at the Osler telephone switchboard, Osler Post Office and Giesbrecht Electric and Hardware. She worked as an assistant administrator in the Town of Warman under the mentorship of Margaret Kroeker until being hired as administrator for the Town of Osler.

When she began in the town office Osler had a population of 195 people, and she was a one-woman office, helping oversee a staff of one maintenance man and a part-time parks and recreation person. When the computer age dawned in the 1980s, she purchased her own personal computer and used it at work because the town couldn’t afford one.

Over the years when she was administrator, the town grew to a population of 800 people, and the citizens put

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Flags were flown at half-mast in front of the Osler Town office in honour of the late Sarah Hiebert in sewer and water and new residential subdivisions.

In 1985, she coordinated the community’s massive homecoming reunion celebration. In 1996, Osler was hit with a devastating plow wind. In the immediate aftermath of the storm that saw millions of dollars in damage to homes and property, she stepped forward as the local coordinator for

Mennonite Disasters Services (MDS) volunteers. She received a number of awards, including Osler Citizen of the Year, Canada 125 and Queen’s Jubilee award medals, and a Saskatchewan Centennial Award.

In the days following Hiebert’s passing, the flags in front of the Osler Town office were flown at halfmast in her honour.

Catholic schools launch new academic year

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Teachers and staff of the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools (GSCS) streamed into the Cathedral of the Holy Family on Wednesday August 31 to celebrate the start of a new school year.

Nearly 2000 staff came to

be inspired and pumped up, beginning with a mass and followed by comments from Board Chair, Diane Boyko, Director of Education Greg Chatlain and keynote speaker, Mike Patin.

Boyko traced reasons for hope in the division, but added that, “hope doesn’t

mean we turn a blind eye to difficulties and struggles.

We are all intimately familiar with our budget struggles.” She also referenced recent discussions about transformational change and the prospect of school division amalgamations, “something we know very

little about and is causing a fair amount of anxiety.

“It’s important to keep our focus on what’s important— our students, the good work we are doing, and being men and women of faith.”

Chatlain said he is humbled and honoured by the charge he’s been given as

director, and pleased to be standing on Treaty 6 land the traditional homeland of the Metis.

Chatlain reminded the audience that what they do matters. “I see the fruits of your labour in my daughter,” he told the gathering.

“The family is under pres-

sure from so very many directions. Our work can help build that family and help make them strong for each other.”

The director echoed Boyko’s concerns about transformational change, CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Langham fire levels two homes

A devastating fire destroyed two homes in Langham last week.

The fire occurred at about 2:00 a.m. on Friday, September 2. According to a report by CTV Saskatoon on Saturday, September 3, Jason Maurice awoke in the middle of the night to find his house was on fire. He quickly got his son and daughter out of the burning building. Unfortunately, he was unable to rescue the

family dog, which apparently perished in the blaze.

The intensity of the fire ignited the house next door.

When Langham firefighters arrived on the scene, they found the first home fully engulfed in flames, and the second home was also burning intensely.

Firefighters from Borden, Dalmeny and Warman were called in to assist.

They were able to contain the fires and extinguish

them within about 30 minutes. However, the two homes were completely destroyed and all the posses-

sions of the residents were lost.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

INTENT The proposed bylaw amendment will: • Remove the requirement for on-site notification posters for discretionary use applications; • Add aquaculture, and associated development standards and discretionary use criteria as a discretionary use in the FUD – Future Urban Development District; • Add specific discretionary use criteria to nurseries, garden centres and green houses in the Future Urban Development District; • Permit 2.0 metre high fences in the required front yard along the side property line on residential sites that abut a non-residential site; • Limit fences to 3.0 metres in height on Commercial, Industrial, Community Service, Parks and Future Urban Development District sites; • Change parking lots from a discretionary to a permitted use in the Community Service District; • Permit sewage lagoons in the Community Service District; • Remove the maximum site coverage requirement for Agricultural Uses, Nurseries, Greenhouses, Garden Centres and Agricultural Fair Grounds in the Future Urban Development District; • Rezone Lots 17 to 21, Block 4, Plan G269 as shown within the bold dashed line on “Sketch A” below, from R1 – Low Density Residential to CS – Community Service District; • Rezone Lots 1 & 2, Block 1, Plan G2711 as shown within the bold dashed line on “Sketch A” below from M – Industrial to R1 – Low Density Residential District.

Foul play ruled out in Delisle deaths

RCMP are ruling out foul play in the deaths of a 26-yearold man and a 26-year-old woman in Delisle last weekend.

Warman RCMP issued a statement on Friday, September 2 that indicated autopsies conducted on Tuesday, August 30 in Saskatoon, and police investigation to date, have determined foul play is not suspected in both sudden deaths.

The Office of the Chief Coroner will continue its investigation.

On August 27 at 7:30 pm Warman RCMP received a complaint that two deceased persons were located inside a residence on the 300 block of 4th street west in Delisle.

Want to reduce dubious expenses?

Post the receipts online

By Aaron Wudrick Canadian Taxpayers Federation (This column originally appeared in the Toronto Sun on August 23rd, 2016) Last week, news broke that federal Health Minister Jane Philpott had spent $1,700 on a high-end car service for a single day of driving her around the Toronto area. Her office then revealed there were more in the same vein: a $2,000 bill for a car on the day the minister spoke at a July meeting in Niagara Falls; $3,800 for 20 trips ($190 each) to Toronto’s Pearson Airport before flying to Ottawa for ministerial business.

Worse still, Philpott knew the owner of the limousine company was a Liberal supporter who had volunteered on her election campaign. Within days, she had admitted this was unacceptable and agreed to repay taxpayers for the cost.

Minister Philpott is not the first politician to get caught soaking taxpayers, and she won’t be the last.

She’s only the latest in what sometimes feels like a relentless current of wasted money. Senator Mike Duffy – who billed Canadians for the cost of his personal trainer, among many other dubious expenses – is one of the more infamous examples. And who could forget former Conservative cabinet minister Bev Oda – who dinged taxpayers for pricey limousine rides and hotel stays while on business in London, as well as her $16 orange juice. (Oda later repaid taxpayers $3,000).

While Mike Duffy remains defiant as he returns to the Senate and returns to billing Canadian taxpayers, at least both Oda and Philpott conceded their mistakes after getting caught. And it’s certainly a good thing that a politician can at least admit when they’ve done something wrong.

The problem, of course, is that the wrongdoing needs to be exposed first. And under the current system of expense disclosure – which requires media outlets and watchdogs like the Canadian Taxpayers Federation to file endless Access to Information requests to get numbers and details – there’s little incentive for politicians to worry about getting caught. Sure, there’s always a small chance some enterprising reporter will stumble upon something scandalous. But more often than not, dubious spending will remain hidden, buried in an ocean of information that no one will ever ask to see.

Under the current system, which in some cases only requires aggregated figures or vague categories of disclosure, Canadians are left in the dark about most of the details. And the details matter: the reason Minister Philpott’s $1,700 limo bill is outrageous is because

Correction

The article in the August 25, 2016 edition of the Gazette about a proposed local improvement project in Martensville for curb, gutter, sidewalk, street construction and pavement on 1st Avenue North between Baycroft Drive and 8th Street North contained an error with regard to funding. The entire cost of the local improvement project, $432,610, is being paid by the landowners. The city of Martensville is initially estimating to finance about $324,458 of that total amount on behalf of the landowners in the form of a loan, to be paid back over ten years by landowners. It is estimated that the landowners will pre-pay about $108,152 of the total cost of the project. The Gazette regrets the error.

VOL. 9 NO. 1

About the last thing either the province or the Saskatchewan Party need right now is more division.

While one might think tough economic times bring people together, they sometimes really don’t.

Tough economic times mean tough choices for a provincial government that’s already talking about “transformational change.”

Exactly what that means is anyone’s guess at this point, but most will recognize it likely means more bickering over keeping what we already enjoy.

This takes us to the latest indication of division; a poll done by Mainstreet Research for Postmedia (owners of the two major daily newspapers).

The survey shows that the Saskatchewan Party still has a commanding 53 per cent of the popular vote province wide; the kind of public support that most other governing parties can only dream of. Remember: This is the beginning of the third term of a government that achieved the near impossible task of getting that third term. Only CCF/NDP governments had accomplished that in the past cen-

tury.

However, the survey shows that Premier Brad Wall’s government is now running behind the NDP in Regina where New Democrats have 52-percent support among divided votes compared with 39 per cent for the Sask. Party.

Again, there is obviously no need for Wall and the Sask. Party to hit the panic button yet.

Regina only represents a mere 11 of the province’s 61 seats. At 39 per cent, were an election held today, the Sask.

Party would still likely win three to five of those Regina seats (depending on how the vote split worked.)

Moreover, the Sask. Party is still running ahead in Saskatoon, that has 14 seats and far, far ahead in 30 rural seats.

Still, it’s hard to ignore the fact that both the Sask.

more dramatic drop in Regina.

Even harder to ignore is the likely reasons behind it; those deepening divisions we have seen in Saskatchewan.

This has been a summer of discontent for Wall’s forces that really began with the Provincial Auditor’s report on both the Regina by-pass and Global Transportation Hub that illustrated highly questionable management practices of both former highways minister Nancy Heppner and former GTH/ economy minister Bill Boyd.

(By no small coincidence, both have now left Wall’s cabinet.)

Added to the mix is its handling of the Husky pipeline spill into the North Saskatchewan River and the racial tensions with First Nations that sometimes unfairly are blamed on the government of the day.

Now, throw in talk of privatizing SaskTel; something Wall said he would consider if he received an offer that was large enough to eliminate the operating debt that’s now pegged at $4.1 billion.

This cuts closer in Regina where SaskTel’s head office

and most of its jobs are located.

It’s also another thing that has brought home the fiscal reality for a lot more people … and perhaps a sense that Wall and his Sask. Party government weren’t nearly as clear with the public about what they had in mind as they should have been.

Finally, another social issue in play seems to be Don McMorris’s recent charge for drunk driving.

That 80 per cent admit to having driven drunk at some point in their lives, sadly, suggests this isn’t as divisive an issue as perhaps it should be.

What is more troubling for the Sask. Party in this poll is the 68 per cent who suggested McMorris shouldn’t run again.

The survey results also showed that one-in-five in this province still feel that it’s okay to drive drunk if it’s only for a short distance.

This would seem to suggest another clear division; likely, between urban and rural people.

It may be one more divide in a province that’s showing a lot of signs of division … never a good thing for a government.

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.

Dalmeny pumps up firefighting capacity

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Dalmeny Fire Rescue members have a formidable addition to their fleet with the arrival last week of a custom-built pumper truck.

“There were some pretty proud people on hand when it arrived, that’s for sure,” said Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder in an interview on Thursday, September 1. “We’ve been looking forward to a unit like this for a long time.”

Elder said in addition to funds raised by members of the volunteer fire department over the years, the Town of Dalmeny contributed $120,000 and the RM of Corman Park put in $320,000 toward the vehicle, which was built by Acres Industrial of Wawanesa, Manitoba.

The new engine will provide fire suppression to both the town and the RM, as well being available for backup to other communities within the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association mutual aid area.

The big advantage to the volunteer fire department is that it boosts the efficiency of available manpower, especially during the day when there aren’t as many members available to respond to calls, said Elder.

“It fits our needs,” he said.

“In many ways it’s similar to the new units that Warman and Martensville recently took delivery on, but it also has differences.

“It’s got foam capabilities, but it’s not a compressed air foam system. We felt that our priority should be designing it with features to make the most of our daytime staffing levels.

“In other words, we needed automatic stuff. There’s a lot of lines that are pre-connected, and have larger handlines.

“But the biggest feature is the bumper turret, where a firefighter can engage the pump right from the cab and start spraying water and foam at a fire right away,” he added. “With a vehicle like this, we can be more efficient with just a few people.”

Nominations open for municipal councils, school board trustees

Nominations officially opened this week for several urban municipal mayoral and council positions, as well as rural municipal reeve and odd-numbered division councilors.

Nominations also are now open for trustees on the Prairie Spirit School Division and Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division.

Nominations close for all elected positions on Wednesday, September 21. The municipal and school board elections are slated to take place on Wednesday, October 26.

The RM of Corman Park will have elections for Reeve, Division 1,3,5 and 7. Mail-in voting applications are available at the RM of Corman Park office in Saskatoon. To qualify to vote, applicants are required to provide evidence of identity and residence.

The RMs of Aberdeen, Vanscoy, Dundurn, Montrose, Great Bend, Blucher will have elections for Reeve and Divisions 1,3 and 5.

Urban municipalities including the cities of Martensville and Warman opened nominations September 6.

Elder said the lion’s share of the funding from the RM of Corman Park is especially welcome.

“Without the RM’s contribution, it would have been a lot more difficult to obtain,” he said.

Acres Industrial won the tender for building the truck and the order was finalized in June, 2015. The truck was built to specifica-

tions laid down by the fire department.

The new vehicle replaces the department’s existing pumper truck, and brings the total fleet to eight vehicles.

“We’ve been gradually chipping away and bringing our fleet up to modern standards,” said Elder. “This is the first new brand vehicle we’ve bought since 1991.”

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Classes at Great Plains College (GPC) in Warman got off to a sunny start on Tuesday, September 6.

“Virtually every course is filled to capacity,” said GPC Regional Manager Rob Neufeld in an interview following a morning orientation for new students. “We have 101 students enrolled in programs at the Warman campus starting this week.

In addition, we expect another 30 or so in the beginner and advanced English as a Second Language (ESL) programs that start next week.”

Neufeld said GPC has approximately 423 full-time students enrolled at its campuses across the region.

That is 18 per cent above the three-year average.

Warman campus classes begin this week in several GPC courses including Administrative Assistant, Business and Youth Care Worker programs, and adult basic education courses.

Other courses offered by the college in the coming weeks and months include the Heavy Equipment Operator, Boom Truck, Crane and Hoist operator programs, and Master of Business Administration.

Neufeld said the college has a good record in training students for the everchanging job market.

Gabrysh in the running for Mayor of Warman

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Ivan Gabrysh has thrown his hat in the ring for Mayor of Warman.

Gabrysh, a former Warman City Manager who retired in 2013, announced his candidacy for the post earlier this week. Municipal elections are being held in communities across the province on Wednesday, October 26.

“Many residents of Warman have approached me, indicating they would like to see a change in leadership,” said Gabrysh in an interview. “I felt that being retired, I do have the time to devote to the job.

“I also have 25 years of municipal experience as an administrator and city manager. I also served on the town council in Hague several years ago, so this is not new territory for me.”

Gabrysh said that during his tenure as city manager from 2005 to 2013, Warman grew from about 4,000 to just under 10,000 residents.

“I oversaw the infrastructure requirements needed with the booming residential growth, including the Legends Centre and the expansion of the city’s lagoon for wastewater,” said Gabrysh. “I also worked closely with many developers and was involved with city council in negotiating the partnerships with the school division and other municipalities to provide better services and facilities for the City of Warman.”

Gabrysh said as a former city manager, he knows there is a clear line between the roles and responsibilities of elected representatives and civic administration.

“I never liked to be ‘mi-

Gazette CLARK’S CROSSING

cro-managed’ when I was in that position,” he said. “I would never micro-manage if I’m elected mayor.

“It’s council’s job to set policy and bylaws, and it’s the administrative staff’s job to carry out those policies. It’s always been a clear line for me.”

Gabrysh said he wants to “stimulate and promote economic growth in the commercial and industrial areas of Warman.

“In the last couple of years there has been an impasse in businesses wanting to locate in the city,” he said.

“That is a real concern to me. We are seeing businesses locating in nearby communities instead of choosing Warman.

“With every business, there would be more growth in the city which not only reflects in better services for the residents, but more

opportunities for local jobs.”

He said he also wants to take steps to promote doctors and other health-related professionals to locate in Warman.

Among the projects he wants to see completed in the city are the RV park in Prairie Oasis Park and the expansion of the water reservoir to eliminate water rationing.

He said he wants new street lighting along Centennial Boulevard to Highway 305 to enhance safety and make the north entrance into the city more appealing.

“Through good administration and staff, the level of service in Warman has been high and I will work hard to maintain that high standard of service, including excellent street maintenance, a first-class trained fire department and great

Contractor suing City for $3.3 million

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Iron Mountain Construction (IMC) has launched a second lawsuit against the City of Warman and is seeking $3,347,500 for allegations of unpaid work and financial losses suffered by the company, as well as punitive damages.

David Samuel of CJC & Co. LLP is serving as counsel for IMC and believes Iron Mountain has a strong case against the City.

“There is a distinction between the formation of an agreement and the execution of an agreement. Even though an agreement may be formed perfectly in theory, that same agreement may operate utterly unfairly in the real world.”

One of a number of IMC concerns detailed in their 19-page Statement of Claim file in June of this year was the alleged removal of a significant item from the agreed-upon contract. IMC claims lost revenue from this removal and that the inclusion of this item in the

contract was a key reason IMC entered the contract in the first place. After removing this item, IMC alleges the City removed six additional line items from the contract without consent.

The lawsuit names the City of Warman as defendants, as well as AECOM Canada Ltd. and individuals within those entities, including Warman City Manager, Stan Westby. Hired by the city in early 2014, Westby is currently on medical leave.

“The city has refused to bear any responsibility at all and has stated that it acted perfectly,” added Samuel.

“This is obviously disputed and is also untrue.”

Samuel said this lawsuit has put his client completely out of business. “Iron Mountain is a father and son venture with no deep pockets.

They believed that good honest work done with a sense of integrity would insulate them against morally reprehensible conduct. This turn of events has caused this family, needlessly, to struggle through hard times.”

Acting as legal counsel for the City of Warman, Candice Grant with Robertson Stromberg LLP says the City has filed its defense to the Statement of Claim.

“The City denies any culpability to Iron Mountain.

The obligations of both the City and Iron Mountain are set out in a written contract which was the result of Iron Mountain’s successful bid on the tender for the pavement management contract.

We are confident that the City has complied with its obligations as set out in the contract.”

Grant indicated the next step is a mandatory mediation session.

Both parties attended mediation in April with respect to the first lawsuit filed by IMC. “The City’s refusal to say ‘Thank you,’ pay for the work, and come to the table in good faith to resolve the issue, continues to disappoint Iron Mountain,” said Samuel. The first lawsuit filed by IMC against the City involved work on Central Street west of First Avenue.

Ramage running for Warman city council seat

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Doug Ramage is new to Warman, but he’s already looking to help shape the future of the community as a councillor.

Ramage is one of the first candidates to put his name forward for a Warman City Council seat in the October 26 municipal election.

“I’ve always had an interest in municipal politics and always been involved in the community where I live,” said Ramage in an interview on August 31. “I think that while the next four years are important, we need to take a long-term view and plan for the next twenty to thirty years.

“The decisions we make now as a community will have a big influence on where we are two or three decades from now.”

Ramage works for an engineering firm in Saskatoon.

He said there are many similarities between Warman, and the community of St. Albert, near Edmonton, where he grew up.

“St. Albert used to be simply a bedroom community, but it’s grown to become a self-sustaining city,” said Ramage. “There are a lot of parallels with what is happening in Warman.”

Ramage said his top priorities are highway safety, enhancing health care and policing services in the community, and stimulating economic development by attracting, retaining and growing businesses.

Ramage has a degree in civil engineering and is currently completing a postgraduate certificate in Urban Design from Simon

Huskies defeat Rams in overtime thriller

By Wayne Shiels essenceofsask@gmail.com Sean Stenger’s 10-yard field goal on the second possession of overtime gave the University of Saskatchewan Huskies a 41-39 win over the University of Regina Rams on Friday, September 2 at Griffiths Stadium in PotashCorp Park before a crowd of over 7000 fans.

The fans were entertained during the back and forth game with some impressive performances on both sides. Regina quarterback Noah Picton had a career day; with 471 passing yards, including four touchdown passes, plus 108 rushing yards.

Huskies pivot Kyle Siemens completed 28 of 42 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns; spreading the ball around to multiple receivers. Mitch Hillis, Yol Piok, Colton Klassen, and Chad Braun each had at least five receptions; with Piok catching seven for a team-high 105 yards and Hillis finishing with a teamleading eight catches for 78 yards including a touchdown. Tyler Chow rushed for 147 yards on 23 carries.

Huskies kicker Sean Stenger was good on 6 of 7 field goal attempts. Besides kicking the game winning points, he had sent the game into overtime when he dissected the uprights to tie the game with no time left in regulation play.

Regina led 7-1 after the first quarter on a four-yard Atlee Simon run. The Huskies had a 14-10 lead at half time on a pair of Stenger field goals and a eight yard touchdown reception by Hillis. Regina regained the lead in the third quarter on a pair of long TD passes; an 85 yarder to Khalid Kornegay and a 65 yarder to Ryan Scheinbein. The Huskies narrowed the gap with a 17 yard touchdown pass to Braun, and took the lead in the fourth quarter on a pair of Stenger field goals. The

Huskies wide receiver Yol Piok came through in a big way with a 35-yard catch in the final minute of the game with his team facing a 3rd and 20 from their own 20 Rams moved the ball downfield with a four play, 75yard drive and scored on a three-yard pass to Scheinbein to take the lead.

Down by three points with 1:29 on the clock, the Huskies needed a long drive to give themselves a chance to tie or win the game. The situation looked even more dire when a pair of incomplete passes and a penalty forced them back to their own 20 yard line. Facing a third down and 20 yards to

go Siemens kept the drive alive when he connected with wide receiver Yol Piok on a 35 yard pass. They were then able to move the ball downfield and Stenger sent the game into overtime with a 20 yard field goal.

Each team scored a TD on their first possession of overtime. Regina only scored a rouge when they missed on their field goal try on the second possession. The Huskies then relied on the running of Tyler

Royals coach heads to Florida for world flag football championship

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Martensville Royals head coach Lyle Evanisky is going to miss his high school football team’s season-opener under the lights in Delisle against the Rebels on Friday, September 9.

But he has a good reason.

Evanisky will be in Hollywood, Florida that weekend, helping Team Canada in its bid for a gold medal at the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) World Flag Football Championships slated for September 8-11.

And by Team Canada, we mean Team Saskatchewan.

Evanisky was head coach of a provincial adult men’s team that represented the province at the 2016 Senior Flag Football Invitational championship in Halifax, Nova Scotia at the end of May. To no one’s surprise, Team Sask rolled over the opposition to win the national title, punching their ticket to the international competition in the process.

It may not have been smash-mouth football (contact is frowned upon in flag football, where the emphasis is on speed, smarts, endurance and agility), but it was extremely competitive.

This was no small-potatoes rec team carrying the province’s colours either. Quarterbacked by former U of S Huskies pivot Steven Bilan, the team included a who’s who list of current and former Hilltops, Huskies and Rams stars: Mitch Hillis, Kit Hillis, Chris Friesen, Mitch Friesen, Joel Lipinski, Braxton Lawrence, Michael Waldron, Kyle Siemens, Chad Braun,, David Stevens, Karl Phillips. Evanisky was the head coach and Chad Palmer was general manager of the team.

Evanisky is modest about his role with the team, and credits Palmer with organizing the province’s bid for world flag football domination.

“Chad is Player Development Coordinator with the Saskatoon Minor Football League,” said Evanisky.

“He runs the Saskatoon Adult Flag Football League and has done a great job promoting flag football.

“For the last couple years he’s organized a provincial senior men’s flag football team and last year they invit-

ed me to come with them to Halifax.”

Despite being listed as head coach on the team’s roster on the Football Canada website, Evanisky downplayed his role, noting the experience and high calibre of the athletes involved meant they didn’t require a lot of guidance from the guys on the sideline.

“I wouldn’t say I’m coaching,” said Evanisky. “More like just helping out whenever I can. You know, driving the van, managing the equipment and making sure the guys have enough bananas and gatorade.”

This will be Evanisky’s first trip to the world stage.

The IFAF World Flag Football championships began in 2002 and are held every two years. Both a senior men’s and senior women’s championship take place simultaneously. The IFAF world tournament is a showcase for 5-on-5 flag football. In 2008, Canada’s men’s team won gold and women’s team won silver; the women’s team won gold in 2010 and 2014.

Evanisky is hoping this is the year the men’s team captures the top prize. Canada

is one of 13 countries participating in the men’s competition. They include: the United States, Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, Guatemala, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand and Panama.

There are 11 countries, including Canada, Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Guatemala, France, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Panama and the United States in the women’s competition.

On the women’s side, Canada is represented by a team from Quebec, which narrowly defeated Saskatchewan in the national championship last spring.

Evanisky said he’s going to be thinking about how his boys do at the annual ‘Friday Night Lights’ game in Delisle this week, but noted he has a lot of confidence in the rest of his coaching staff. They can handle the responsibility while he’s south of the border.

“I’m looking forward to the worlds,” he said. “It’ll be a lot of fun. It’s a great bunch of guys and everyone gets along really well. The football IQ on that team is very impressive.”

Great Plains College Post receipts courses fill labour demand online it’s for a single day; the same goes for Minister Oda’s $16 for a single orange juice. If these specific details had not been uncovered, and instead rolled into a month or year’s worth of ground transportation or meal expenses, no one may ever have noticed in the first place.

It’s time we force Senators, Members of Parliament and their staff to pay more attention to their expenses before they incur them by requiring physical expense receipts to be proactively scanned and posted online.

Since politicians must already provide physical or scanned receipts to claim reimbursement, there’s little extra administrative work to do. It’s just a matter of posting them online. Nor is it uncharted administrative territory: it’s already done in the City of Toronto and in Alberta.

Such a policy would force politicians and their staff to look at every prospective expense and ask themselves: is this a reasonable expense?

Does it pass the “smell test”?

If the answer to either of these questions is “no”, you can bet they will think twice about incurring the expense.

It is probably impossible to design a system that will completely eliminate cavalier expenses by politicians.

But we can certainly tilt the odds in taxpayers’ favour by making sure politicians know we’re all watching them closely.

Neufeld. “There are jobs out there for the courses we offer.”

Neufeld said current economic conditions may account for an increase in enrolment this fall.

He noted the college is bringing back a highly-successful program introduced last year in partnership with the Sakatoon Construction Association.

“The Certificate in Management Essentials is an intensive eight-week course that allows industry participants to gain knowledge in key areas from their peers,”

said Neufeld. “A lot of very sucessful tradespeople are being promoted into management roles, but they may not have the skills they need when it come to financial accounting, human resources and team leadership. That’s what this program does.”

GPC students will be active in the community on Monday, September 19 during the college’s second annual “Day of Service.” Students will be helping clean up community parks, as well as helping at the Warman Mennonite Special Care Home.

Langham committee raises funds for refugees

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Members of the community in Langham are excited to be launching a refugee sponsorship program. The vision to sponsor a refugee family grew over months of pondering and deliberation, according to Langham resident, Sela Balzer.

Now, with backing from four churches as well as community members, and with the formation of a leadership committee, the group is launching their first fundraiser.

“To begin the task of raising monies, a kick-off fundraiser, in the form of a Country Classic Jamboree, BBQ & Corn Roast, will be held in the Langham Community Hall on Saturday September 24th,” said Balzer. She volunteered to spearhead the first such event.

The group is working closely with the MCC, their sponsoring agent. Area resident, Ed Bueckert is a member of the Langham Community Refugee Sponsorship Committee (LCRSC). A former board member of MCC Saskatchewan, Bueckert was part of the initial conversations and assisted with the application process.

“We’re responsible for the refugee family for a year,” said Bueckert. “That includes housing, furniture and employment, everything it takes to be Canadian.” The group will help familiarize the family with the school system, the medical system, and the language. “Language is the biggest hurdle they need to cross. The need to learn it quickly so they can gain employment and be self sustaining.”

Bueckert said MCC estimates it takes $30,000 to

Sponsoring agent, the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), sponsors refugees from around the world to come to Canada sponsor a family of four.

Donations of housewares and furniture can help keep that number down.

Balzer said it’s heart wrenching to see stories in the media about refugees coming over and realize the deplorable conditions they’ve been living in. “It’s the call of the heart. That’s why we want to do this.”

She says the majority of the eight members of the LCRSC were refugees. “My parents came from Russia and a family in Langham took them under their wing, helped them

find housing, furniture and jobs.”

The identity of the refugee family is not currently known due to the tremendous need in the world.

Refugees could come from one of many different countries. “But the reality is that the most urgent need is the people displaced from Syria and Iraq due to wars in those countries,” said Balzer.

The Takers and Back Forty will provide music for the event. Balzer says Back Forty, a Rosthern group, is quickly rising in populari-

ty, perhaps because of their Johnny Cash sound-alike singer.

The Takers have become regulars at the Eagle Creek Jamboree and have gained quite a following.

Balzer did a little advance planning for this first fundraiser.

Back in spring she put a notice in church bulletins asking people to plant an extra row of corn, carrots, cabbage and potatoes. She’ll be rounding up these items for the BBQ. The BBQ runs from 4 p.m. till 6:45, at which point the

music takes over until 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door and available through Affinity Credit Union, the Langham Town Office, Shysters Tavern or any LCRSC member. Langham Theatrical Company is sponsoring the event.

The goal of the LCRSC is to have the refugee family living right in Langham.

“It’s helpful for the community to work together on something like this and it would enrich the community to have a family join us,” said Bueckert.

Wildwood Fire showcases Carter Family country classics After taking a year off, the Langham Theatrical Company (LTC) is back in business. But there’s a twist to this fall’s show.

The LTC is facilitating a Dinner Theatre production of a musical called ‘Wildwood Fire’.

LTC Artistic Director Sela Balzer said she was approached by Lauren de Graaf of Wildwood Flower Productions, in Alberta, with the proposal of her bringing her theatrical team to Langham to perform ‘Wildwood Fire’.

“We jumped at the opportunity,” she said. “It’s fantastic.”

In the play, which is based on legendary country musicians the Carter Family, Mother Maybelle Carter is set to play a solo concert. Her famous sonin-law, Johnny Cash, is in the hospital with his wife, June Carter Cash, by his side. However, June decides to show up at the concert and attempts to run the show.

Wildwood Fire is written by Lauren de Graaf.

Balzer said in order to make the evening even more memorable, the show will also feature a bonus performance by the well-known band, Cash Back.

“Cash Back is the husband and wife team of Dave and Debbie Norman, from Rosetown, who present a musical tribute to Johnny Cash,” she said.

The Langham Theatrical Company’s production is slated for three performances at the Langham Community Hall, Friday to Sunday October 21, 22 and 23. Tickets available by calling 283-4161, or www.langhamtheatricalcompany.ca

A new mosque under construction at the intersection of Boychuk Drive and Highway 16 will be the largest in Saskatchewan.

New mosque on track for December completion HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Thanks to some great weather over the summer, the new mosque south of Saskatoon is on track to meet its projected completion date of December.

“The weather has actually helped a lot this year.

We haven’t lost days that we had planned we might lose in terms of progress, so we’re still heading toward that completion date,” said Shamoon Rashid. Rashid provides construction oversight for the project and is the president of the local Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

When completed, the new facility will seat up to 2,000 worshippers. Due to contin-

practices are now included for symbolic reasons, such as the minaret.

“In the olden days, someone would go up on the tower and do the call for prayer, so people in the neighbourhood would know its time for prayer and would come to the mosque,” said Rashid.

In the past, domes and other features were designed to amplify sound. The mosque has domes as an architectural feature, but will rely on a high-tech sound system to amplify sound.

“One of the teachings in Islam is not to waste any resources and also wherever natural resources can be preserved,” said Rashid. “We have incorporated those teachings in

this building.” There’s in floor heating (and some fan forced), a grey water system, ICS construction of walls and provision for solar energy, to be installed in the near future.

There will also be a studio in the mosque in the office area, which offers 24hour Muslim Television Ahmadiyya (MTA), a satellite station of the community worldwide.

There are some amazing stories of sacrificial giving to this project, like a few people selling their vehicle and handing over the proceeds, a widow who gave over $100,000, a couple who gave $40,000 in savings for a new house, Rashid said.

A Muslim’s life revolves

around the mosque. “We have five services a day – five daily prayers – and one a week, on Friday we have afternoon prayers. We have a lot of people who attend that.”

Rashid said community members, especially those who came out of persecution and discrimination in Pakistan, are “very, very pleased to be here. They feel safe to raise a family.”

Easily accessible with its location at the intersection of Boychuk Drive and Highway 16, the new mosque will be called Baitul Rahmat, meaning House of Blessing.

As a gathering place and nucleus for the community, it provides another layer of settledness here in Canada.

Warman driver wins national masters crown PHOTO SUBMITTED BY CANADA KARTING NEWS.COM

A veteran racer from Warman has won a national masters karting championship, and is headed to the world stage in Italy next month.

Scott Campbell won the DD2 Masters class at the Canadian Karting Championships, held in Mont Tremblant, Quebec this past

weekend.

Campbell was unstoppable all weekend, taking a clean sweep in the qualifying race as well as three heat races. He capped off his unbeaten streak by winning the championship final race.

The accomplishment earned Campbell a World Record 12th trip to the Ro-

tax Max World Karting Championship to represent Canada in Naples, Italy at the end of October.

This isn’t his first crack at the international title.

In fact, Campbell won the World Championship in 2010 in the DD2 Masters class and finished second twice in both 2012 and 2013.
