Martensville firefighters distribute Christmas hampers By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Christmas turned out to be a lot merrier for at least 17 families in Martensville thanks to the efforts of the city’s firefighters and other volunteers. Christmas hampers containing food, toys and essential household items were packed by dozens of volunteers at the Martensville Fire Hall on Tuesday, December 20. The hampers were slated to be delivered to recipient families on Wednesday evening, December 21. The Martensville Fire Department’s Christmas Hamper program began 22 years ago, according to project coordinator Lieutenant Larry Sigfusson. “It’s an expression of the Christmas spirit,” said Sigfusson during an interview at the fire hall while taking a break from sorting toys destined for the hampers. “It’s a way of giving back to the community and showing that people in this city care about one another.” Martensville firefighter James Taylor, who is stepping into the role of coordinator of the program, said the amount of donations from the community is up this year over last. But the need for the hampers has also increased, added Taylor. “We’re packing 17 hampers, which is a few more than last year,” said Taylor. “The demand varies a bit from year to year, depending on circumstances.” Sigfusson said the slowdown in the economy and layoffs in some sectors may have had an impact. “About half of our hampers going out this year are being delivered to families that were on the list last year,” said Sigfusson. “We contact all the recipients from the year before when we begin collecting donations in late November. We also put out a notice letting people know they can nom-

Taylor said the food supplies were separated and inspected to ensure there were no expired items, and then individual hampers were packed according to the needs of recipient families. “We’ve got lots of helpers this year, including the Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, and the Air Cadet squadron,” said Taylor. Sigfusson said the schools in Martensville are very generous in organizing donations to the hamper program. Service organizations including the Lions Club, private businesses and individuals also chip in, he added. Sigfusson said the Christ-

A special New Years Eve celebration marked the beginning of a year of celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday. Saskatoon was one of 19 cities across Canada to host this event which included a spectacular fireworks display. Some inclusion of fire, whether its fireworks, fireballs, lanterns or candles is common to many New Year’s Eve celebrations around the world.

What are they doin’ New Year’s Eve? By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca From massive fireballs to dropped dollops of whipped cream to hidden coins, New Year’s Eve looks a little different around the world than in North America. On Noche Vieja, New Year’s Eve in Spain, the twelve grapes tradition is popular. People pop a series of grapes in their mouth, one with each chime of the clock as it strikes midnight. Then they chase it with a glass of champagne or cava after toasting everyone around them. Those who successfully complete the feat will have a year of good luck and prosperity ahead. The tradition dates back to 1895 and is celebrated with family after dinner or in the public square with a crowd. Particularly in Madrid, almost everyone wears brightly colored wigs, satirical masks, costumes, or any combination of these. While the tradition still has a few superstitions attached, in

1909 it became more of a cultural event (and marketing opportunity) as vine growers with a huge harvest saw a way to sell off excess grapes. One of the Hogmanay New Year’s Eve customs in Scotland involves swinging a fireball overhead while walking up High Street, in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire. Balls formed from chicken wire are stuffed with flammable materials. Some giant fireballs are swung on long metal poles and require quite a few men to carry just one. At the end of the ceremony, any balls still burning are tossed into the harbor. All this is marked by considerable revelry and passion. Many of the Homanay traditions celebrated in Scotland were likely brought over by Vikings who invaded in the early 8th and 9th centuries. Gifts like whiskey and sometimes coal are presented. Be prepared to get wet in Fiji on New Year’s Eve. There is much spraying of

water and beating of drums. Fijians are some of the first to bring in the New Year. In this South Pacific paradise, the celebration extends to a week or more, not just a day. Fijians sit on the floor to eat a celebratory meal with their hands. Their food is a fusion of Indian, South East Asian and Pacific dishes. The Kabu fire dance, performed by bare-chested men in grass skirts, is an intricate tradition handed down through generations. A street party in the capital of Suva is popular throughout the South Pacific. Beautiful lanterns cast an orange glow over the night sky in the small town of Nieu Bethesda, South Africa. The annual Festival of Lights is a joyful alcohol-free family celebration where everyone joins in a singing procession carrying their lanterns through Hightown (the local township) and then back to the Bethesda Arts Centre for a braai (barbecue) and dancing to a live band.

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Saskatchewan Lotteries Community Grant (SLCG) funds are distributed by the RM each year, based on applications they receive from communities seeking assistance. The grant program assists in the development of sport, cultural and recreational programs by providing funds to non-profit community organizations operated by volunteers. The funds must be spent by end of the calendar year. At its December 19 council meeting, the RM noted $5,159.39 in funds remained unallocated. To date in 2016 the RM has allocated $28,518 in SLCG funds to the Dalmeny Seniors Association ($3,000), The Merrill Community Association ($5,000), the Osler Library ($1,344.76), the Osler Events Committee ($500), the Twin Rivers Music Festival ($500), Clark’s Crossing Historic Group ($900), the Langham Curling Club ($2,500), the Langham Skating Club ($400), the Sask Valley Riding Club ($2500), the Osler Soccer Association ($1,713.85) and the Sask Five Giants Association ($5,000). With no other applications on file, council identified several groups that were willing to accept additional funds. They allocated $4259.39 to Sask Five Giants, $400 to the Langham Skating Club, and $500 to the Osler Events Committee. In a separate decision, council approved a $1,000 donation to the 4-H Saskatchewan Futures Fund. The fund will be used to promote leadership skill development, entrepreneurial endeavors, and the growth of the 4-H program in Saskatchewan in years to come. 4-H Saskatchewan is celebrating its centennial in 2017 with a range of events including a gala in March.

seeking a big, noisy, techno party, one of the most popular is in Durban. In Swiss homes, dollops of whipped cream symbolizing the richness of the year to come, are dropped on floors and allowed to remain there! It’s thought to usher in a year of abundance and peace. Food plays a starring role in any New Year’s Eve celebration. But if you’re in Bolivia, watch what you bite into. Coins are baked into cakes and pastries, and it’s believed the person receiving the coins will enjoy prosperity in the coming year. Enjoy with caution. Besides enjoying Mariachi performers and margaritas, Mexicans write down all the stuff that didn’t go so great in the last year and then toss all that negativity into the fire at midnight. As it goes up in flames, a more positive New Year is imagined. The desire to mark the New Year is universal, and around the world, people raise a glass in celebration.

Please send the information in a timely manner following the event and remember to include as much pertinent information as possible, including WHO was involved, WHAT was the event, WHEN and WHERE the event occurred and WHY the event was significant.

If Saskatchewan made New Year’s resolutions In Saskatchewan, we love to tell and retell endearing and heart-warming stories. Like a recent one about a huge ice rink built by a Weyburn Dad. He got permission to extend the rink from his backyard into an adjacent city park, got some support from local businesses, plenty of interest from neighbourhood kids, bought a Zamboni to refresh the ice and has received requests from hockey associations wishing to use it. And we should tell those stories. In the holiday season we heard Christmas messages from politicians singing the praises of our province. And they should. They echo the sentiments of us former ‘have-not’ residents who are loving Saskatchewan more these days, even as we wait for better days to return. But we know the good stories aren’t the whole story. We know that in the dusty closets of communities and bureaucracies there are stories that are harder to look at and harder to tell. They

Lifestyle Files

After years of relying on four-way stops, Martensville and Warman have now firmly cemented their status as DEADLINE honest-to-gosh cities. Between them, they’ve got SKIPPY half a dozen traffic lights at Chokecherries busy intersections. Martensville was first off the mark, installing its initial set of lights at Centennial Drive and Main Street in the summer of 2012. Its second set of traffic lights at Centennial Drive and 3rd Street North became operational on Boxing Day 2016. Warman’s four traffic signals at Central Street and 6th Avenue, Central and Centennial Boulevard, Centennial and 4th Street, and Centennial and Clubhouse, kicked into operation last fall within a few days of each other. But old habits die hard. For several weeks after the lights in Warman were operational, some drivers still stopped even when the light was green, just because they always had. And if the light was red, there were always a few who stopped and then proceeded on into the intersection while the light was still red. There were some near-misses, but on the whole, they’re working well (the lights, not the drivers). The other day while waiting for the light to change, I wondered who came up with the idea of traffic lights in the first place. We take them for granted now, but it wasn’t until “horseless carriages” got really popular in the early 1900s that traffic signals became a serious necessity. The first manual traffic signal, consisting of movable wooden arms that extended horizontally to signal “stop” was installed in London, England, in 1868. It never really caught on, probably because cars were still unknown. The first automated electric traffic signals appeared about a century ago in response to concerns over collisions involving cars. Even though they were few and far-between, not to mention slow-moving, cars still had a tendency to collide with each other. Intersections in the early 20th century were pretty dicey places. In 1912, according to History.com, a Salt Lake City, Utah, police officer appropriately named Lester Wire, who obviously had done his share of directing traffic, mounted a handmade wooden box with coloured red and green lights on a pole. His device drew power from wires attached to overhead trolley lines. It worked, but traffic cops were still cheaper and more efficient. In 1914, James Hoge of Cleveland, Ohio, designed a “municipal traffic control system” consisting of four pairs of manually-controlled red and green lights that served as stop and go indicators, each mounted on a corner post. The system didn’t catch on, probably because it’s cold in Cleveland in the winter and nobody wanted the job. In 1920, William Potts, a Detroit policeman (gee, what a surprise) devised an automatic electric traffic light system that was the first to use red, green and yellow lights. He didn’t patent it. The first successful automated traffic signals were invented, and patented, in 1923 by Garrett Augustus Morgan of Cleveland, a city that apparently had a lot of either really bad drivers or a lot of really smart inventors. Morgan was a self-educated innovator who in his spare time started the Cleveland Call daily newspaper. Morgan’s device utilized a set of three moveable arms on a rotating pole to direct traffic. The first unit was installed in 1924. The signals were illuminated at night by battery-powered electric lights. The arms were eventually replaced by red, amber and green lights. General Electric quickly recognized an opportunity, purchased the patent rights and soon had a monopoly on the manufacture and sale of traffic lights. Now, if somebody would just invent something to prevent drivers from texting at red lights, that would be real progress.

If Saskatchewan were to make New Year’s resolutions, what would they be? Impaired driving is an issue the province has already made a resolution on. Tougher laws came into effect on January 1. But there’s a litany of other disturbing statistics. Saskatchewan continues to hold the highest crime rate in the country. Saskatoon and Regina had the highest crime rates in 2015, coming in first and second respectively of Canadian cities, and also rank among the top five most violent centres. A January

Stats Canada report indicated that domestic violence rates in Saskatchewan are the highest in the country. Saskatchewan had the highest youth crime rate in Canada in 2014, more than triple the national rate. It was troubling to hear recently that Saskatchewan high school students rank lowest in Canada in science, math and reading, according to an OECD Programme for International Student Assessment measure. Saskatchewan was the only province to actually place below the OECD average. Not to belabor these troubling distinctions, but the province also holds HIV infection rates at twice the national average, leads the country in the rate of hospitalizations for opioid poisonings, and has among the highest child poverty rates. A multitude of recent suicides among youth in Saskatchewan is also cause for grave concern. The province held the highest rate of suicides among provinces from 2009 to 2011, data that is cur-

rent as of 2015, according to the Conference Board of Canada. If Saskatchewan made New Year’s resolutions, it could start by taking bolder steps to address some of these issues. It could involve not merely throwing money or platitudes at problems but delving deeper to examine root causes. A good example is the panel currently studying domestic violence in the province. Many of these problems are systemic, and healthy solutions need to be built into family, educational and cultural systems over time. As Saskatchewanians, we can resolve to do our part in addressing these issues by volunteering, speaking out and lending support where it can have the greatest impact. Let’s keep telling those feel-good stories. But let’s also add the strength of our collective voices to continue to address our issues in the best ways. And hopefully some day, a New Year may lead to a new day.

Martensville council approves tax enforcement proceedings By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The City of Martensville is taking steps to acquire title to 11 properties for nonpayment of civic taxes. Martensville council approved a motion at its December 20 regular meeting to authorize proceedings under Section 22((1) of the Tax Enforcement Act for several properties. Martensville Corporate Services Director Leah Sullivan explained that the properties have outstanding taxes and have now reached the stage where the next step is for the city to acquire title to the property. Prior to adopting the resolution to acquire title, the city followed a process laid out in provincial legislation that includes notifying the landowners in writing and registering tax liens on the properties.

NEW BYLAW OFFICERS

Martensville City Council passed a resolution at its December 20 meeting to appoint Doug Paulson and Kimberly Hryhoriw as Bylaw Enforcement Officers for the city. The bylaw officers will work rotating shifts to ensure maximum coverage at times of peak need, according to Martensville Recreation and Community Services Director Dave Bosch. The two bylaw officers began their duties on Dec. 19.

IT SUPPORT CONTRACT

Martensville City Council approved a contract with Graycon Group, the city’s IT support and management team. The new contract involves a managed service agreement with a fixed fee that includes coverage for afterhours support for the Martensville Athletic Pavil-

Conference generates meaningful conversations about food By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The most talked-about presentation at a December Farm & Food Care (FFC) conference was a consumer panel that shared thoughts and opinions about their food choices. Over 150 participants gathered at the Saskatoon Inn to foster connections between the ag industry and consumers. “What a great opportunity to learn directly from six representative consumers,” said Clinton Monchuk, FFC executive director. “We were interested to note that price continues to be the top factor in consumers’ buying decisions at the grocery store. It was also clear that consumers are eager to hear more about food production directly from farmers.” The conference continues to grow as a project of Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan (FFC SK), a coalition of farm families, agribusi-

nesses, processors, retailers and others who focus on answering consumer questions about food and farming. People are inundated with information about their food these days. The conference was designed to help those in the industry learn more about how to engage in meaningful conversations about food and farming, Monchuk said. A first for the conference was the announcement of the two winners of the new Food & Farming Champion Award. Dr. Leigh Rosengren, a veterinarian, epidemiologist and beef producer from Midale, SK, was honoured for her work to encourage prudent antimicrobial (antibiotic) use in livestock production.

Robot gladiators gear up for battle at Legends

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca They may be small, but they’re mighty. Mighty tough, mighty fast, mighty dangerous and mighty exciting. They’re remote-controlled robots, called “kilobots,” and they’re built for battle. When they go at each other, the fur really flies. So do the sparks. Not to mention assorted bits of steel, aluminum and plastic. But don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe. Spectators are protected by a bullet-proof window enclosing the ring where the kilobots push, topple, slice, dice and hammer away at each other. On Saturday, January 21, the Warman Legends Centre is set to host a robotic rumble in the form of Kilobots XXXV (that’s Super-bowlish Roman Numerals talk for Kilobots 35), a day-long tournament where miniature metal monsters go mano-amano in a no-holds-barred quest for mechanical supremacy. While the one-pound and three-pound Masters classes feature highly-sophisticated kilobots designed by professional engineers and dedicated hobbyists with years of experience; the onepound Rookie class is made up mostly of high school students making their first foray into the ring. Fifteen students from WHS, as well as others from Hague, Delisle, Langham and other communities in the Prairie Spirit School Division, will be competing

at the event with kilobots they’ve designed and built in their Robotics classes over the past semester. Organized by the Saskatoon Combat Robotics Club (SCRC) in cooperation with Warman High School (WHS), the annual winter tournament is one of three robotic battle events held throughout the year in the region. It’s the first time it’s been staged in Warman, according to Dale Wiebe, head of the Computer Department at WHS. “January is usually a smaller tournament, but it’s growing every year,” said Wiebe in an interview in one of the computer labs at the school in late December. “Because we have so many students coming from our school and from other schools in the division, I approached the organization and asked to host it.” Wiebe is working with Brett Berry, Vice-Principal of Hague High School, to add a little additional spice to the Kilobots XXXV tournament in the form of a Junk Yard Robotics competition. The Junk Yard events involve racing remote control cars made from recycled materials and used electronic parts. It’s an event where anything goes, and everything from plastic pop bottle caps and rubber bands to Chinese food takeout plates can be “hot-glued” together to make a working vehicle. The contraptions made by the students range from hilarious to ingenious; the only rule is they have

Students in the WHS Robotics class are designing their own kilobots

WHS teacher Dale Wiebe to be able to make it around the course and meet the challenges set by the organizers. The Junk Yard Robotics races take place during the breaks between Kilobot battles, as the 40 or so fighting robots expected at the competition are gradually weeded out during the double-knockout-format tournament. Wiebe, who also teaches photography, graphic arts and video production in addition to the inaugural robotics class introduced at WHS this year, said interest in the academic program exceeded everyone’s expectations. “We had 15 kids enrolled in the Robotics class this se-

mester,” said Wiebe. “Next semester we’ll have 19 in the class. When we originally talked about setting it up we set a goal of 10 kids as the minimum enrolment. It turned out we had 37 students sign up. That was way too many so we capped the class at 15 to start out with.” The Robotics class teaches students the basics of programming using a standard “arduino” computer processor. Wiebe said it’s a cheap, efficient and versatile processor that enables students to build-in features that automatically regulate the remotely-controlled kilobots’ actions, speeds and responses in various situations. The competition gets underway at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 21, and the public is encouraged to come out and watch the carnage. There is no charge for admission. “It’s educational, but it’s also a ton of fun,” said Wiebe.

Former Vipers goalie Remeshylo qualifies for provincial junior curling championship bonspiel suits up for Canada at World Juniors By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca When Amy Remeshylo and her teammates took to the pebbled ice during a provincial junior qualifying bonspiel (Q-spiel) in Watrous earlier this winter, their goal was to see how they measured up against more experienced, older competitors. Pretty darn good, as it turned out. “We were a little surprised that we did so well,” said Remeshylo, a 16-year-old student at Warman High School. “But it sure gives us all a shot of confidence heading into next week.” Remeshylo and her teammates: Skip Rayel Martin, Third Kathleen May, Second Samantha Fowler and Coach Dennis Martin are heading to Melfort to compete in the Saskatchewan Junior Curling Championships December 4 through 8. A total of 12 rinks made up of curlers under the age of 21 are vying for the provincial junior women’s crown. The Junior Men’s Curling Championships are being held at the same time in Melfort as well. The top teams earn the right to represent Saskatchewan at the Canadian National Junior Curling Championships in Victoria, BC January 21-29. The top Canadian team qualifies to represent their country at the world championships in Korea February 16-26 Remeshylo, a resident of Warman, has been curling since the age of 10 at the Martensville Curling Club. Her grandmother, Lynn Remeshylo, was president of that club for many years. “At first when I just started I didn’t want to join a junior league, but once I got going, I really liked it,” said Remeshylo. “Martensville has a junior recreational league, and I curl there, but I was looking for something a little more competitive.”

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Connor Ingram, one of two goaltenders for Team Canada at the 2017 World Junior hockey championship tournament, once logged a lot of ice time at the Martensville Sports Centre and the Warman Legends Arena. Ingram, who grew up in Imperial, Saskatchewan, was the starting goalie for the Sask Valley Vipers Bantam AA hockey team during the 2011-12 season. With Ingram between the pipes, the Vipers came agonizingly close that year to advancing to the provincial championship, losing in double-overtime to the Northeast Wolfpack in the northern final. It was a season that Vipers coach Shaun Priel remembers well. PHOTO SUBMITTED BY DEBBIE REMESHYLO “I firmly believe if we had gotten Team Martin members include Skip Rayel Martin.

When I heard he had been cut, I said, ‘come play with us,’ and he really shone. “One thing about Connor was that if somebody scored against him in practice, he could shrug it off. It didn’t bother him much. But games? That was a different story. On Game Days, he always had his Game Face on. He played hard every time.” Priel said Ingram is the type of player who always tries to find something positive from every game experience. During his first start between the pipes for Team Canada at the World Juniors against Slovakia on December 27, Ingram faced only six shots. He turned them all aside to record a 5-0 shutout for the team. He was in net for Canada’s 5-3 quarter-final win over the Czech Republic on January 2. After completing his final season of bantam with the Vipers, Ingram went on to win the Telus Cup with the Midget AAA Prince Albert Mintos in 2014, making 60 saves in a triple overtime championship game.

Tanner Tyndall of the Warman Wildcats goes up against David Anaka of the Vonda Chiefs during a Twin Rivers Hockey League game in Warman on Friday, December 30. The Wildcats picked up a much-needed victory, winning the game 12-1. Scores from hockey leagues in the region are on page 12.

McHolm Law Office P.C. Inc.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca After a slow start, the Sask Valley Vipers are steadily moving up the standings in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League (SBAAHL). And the timing couldn’t be better, according to Vipers head coach Shaun Priel. He’s hoping the team finishes the regular season on a high note and continues to remain strong through the playoffs. The end goal, he notes, is the 2017 Western Canadian Bantam Championship tournament, slated for the Warman Legends Centre March 30 to April 2. The Vipers are the host team for the prestigious tournament, which features the top Bantam-age hockey teams in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. But even though they’re guaranteed a spot because they’re the host team, Priel said they’re looking to earn their ticket the hard way. “It would be good to peak at the end of March, just in time for Westerns,” said Priel in an interview at the end of December. “This tournament is a great opportunity. Our goal is to win the provincial championship and earn our way into the tournament. It would be nice to go in the front door instead of the back door as hosts.” Priel said while he’s coached teams that have

The Sask Valley Vipers are hosting the 2017 Western Canadian Bantam Championship tournament in Warman March 30-April 2 competed in the western Canadian championships, this is the first time one of his teams has hosted it. It’s also the first time this tournament has been held in the Saskatoon region. “I’m really look forward to it,” said Priel. “The buzz is starting to build as it gets closer. It’s been in Yorkton a couple of times, as well as Weyburn and Prince Albert, but not anywhere near this area. “It will be good for fans and the communities around Saskatoon, because you don’t often get to see Bantam teams of this calibre out here. These are topend teams that qualify for this.” The Vipers have their work cut out for them as they get set for their first contest in 2017, a road game in Melfort on Saturday, January 7. Their next home game is Saturday, January 14 at the Martensville Sports Centre against the Outlaws. The Vipers currently sit in fourth spot in the SBAAHL north division with 27 points, nine back of

the league-leading Maniacs but just three points behind second-place North East and two points behind the thirdplace Generals. The Outlaws are in fifth place with 26 points and Humboldt is in sixth spot with 25 points. Priel said the team is at the point now where they’re able to utilize their speed to advantage. “I like the way we’re playing now,” said Priel. “We had a slow start. In fact, we were under 500 for a while. We had one returning forward and one returning defenseman, and a whole pile of kids from different places. They needed some time to figure things out. “We’re at the point now where they’re playing fast and playing well.” The Vipers are undefeated in their last 10 games, and their overall record is 12 wins, 5 losses, 1 tie and 2 overtime losses. “Their confidence level right now is high,” said Priel. “The kids are starting to see that if they play the way they need to play, then success will come.”

Mayor’s Report from 2016 O

n behalf of the Dundurn Town Council and Town Employees I would like to thank all the residents and land owners for their support in the past year. I wish you happy holidays and prosperity in 2017. As mayor and town council, it is our duty to provide amenities and services in the most economical way possible. This has been a challenge because the town has experienced very little growth over the past twenty years, yet operating costs and utilities have continued to increase resulting in consistent tax increases. For the past two years, we have managed to hold any further increases and wish to continue on that path in 2017 if possible. Recent improvements such as the tie in to Sask Water pipeline, a shared new lagoon, and our successful negotiation with the Dept. of Highways and Infrastructure have allowed the town to be prepared for growth. This began in the fall of 2015 with the startup of the Sunshine Meadows Development. This new development consists of 300 home sites, 14 acres of commercial land, land for a possible new Fire Hall, 5 acres for a Recreation Centre, and 6 acres for a High School if the school board approves. We would like to relocate the Fire Hall

to this highway site because most of the fire department’s responses are highway related. The new community when complete will feature a manmade lake, rubberized walk paths, 300 newly planted trees and a park like setting complete with a playground. Recently the developer has agreed to meet with the town to negotiate a fenced community garden complete with irrigation or a fenced off-leash dog park. At the current lake in Phase 1 of the project, the developer has also offered to build a shack on the lake for people who want to skate on it and we are currently reviewing the regulations for this. Town Council’s views are that to develop a new Recreation Centre, Fire Hall and other expensive amenities it would be advantageous to join with our surrounding community partners. Some of these potential partners have created the Blackstrap Regional Planning Group which we declined to join as the group does not have approval by the Ministry of Community Planning. The town is already an active member of the approved Waterwolf District Planning Commission, through which we receive support and resources to assist us in our plans for growth. Many other unanswered questions

existed regarding joining the Blackstrap Regional Planning Group. Joining such an entity could have put us in a minority voting position which could then deny opportunities that favor you, the town tax payer. We recently became aware of correspondence from this group sent to various entities asking for support of a resolution for a Recreation Centre at Strehlow Road, which is in the North section of the R.M. of Dundurn. Our name was included in that resolution without any consultation with us. I would like to go on record as saying that the Town has never supported or approved this. Many other names such as Whitecap Dakota First Nations, Department of National Defence, Resort Villages of Shields and Thode were also named as supporters of a complex at that location – I cannot confirm if any of these parties named support this in writing. More than a demographic study by the RM must be considered as their plan for a twin rink (hockey, lacrosse, and other indoor sports), a business centre providing space for municipal government offices, local businesses and an auditorium to support large group meetings and community events in the RM would cost

$20 plus million dollars. Hardly seems worth the price tag when serviced land in the town is already available at no cost. Our growth plan along with the Recreation Centre feasibility report is being finalized. For $6 - $7 million including all infrastructure, we can have a Recreation Centre built that will have 10,000 sq. ft. of open space that can be utilized for many different needs, along with a regulation size hockey rink. Phase 2 of the new development is approved and will break ground in the new year, we look forward to working hard to attract new commercial business’ and we are confident our aggressive tax rebate program will be very attractive to new business. In sound regional planning, growth must start from within the circle and move outwards, not vice versa. Dundurn has been hamstrung for many years. This past year we have overcome many hurdles, and we are moving forward and open for business. We are more than willing to consider common sense regional issues with all our neighbors. Thank-You.

Happy New Year!

Per Vinding, Mayor

Major Alan Cann reviewed the 574 Royal Canaidan Air Cadet Squadron’s first Commanidng Officers Parade on Thursday, December 8 at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre in Martensville

Martensville Air Cadet squadron hosts parade By COLIN KUNKEL 574 Royal Air Cadet Squadron On December 8, 2016, 574 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron held its first Commanding Officers Parade. The Commanding Officers parade, held once a month, is an opportunity for the Cadets to show off their best dress, drill and deportment, which they have been learning about, during the training year. The parade is also an occasion for special presentations and awards to be handed out. Major Alan Cann, J3 Officer in Charge Central Prairie Area (Saskatoon), was invited to be the parade’s Reviewing Officer. Upon inspecting the Cadets, Major Cann addressed the entire squadron, including the many parents, who had also

taken in the event. Overall, Major Cann was very excited to see the “new” 574 Squadron, up and running. One of the awards handed out was the Canadian Forces Decoration (CD). This medal is awarded to members of the Canadian Armed Forces, in recognition of 12 years of continuous service. Receiving this honour was Lieutenant Darwin Hodges. Lieutenant Hodges has worked with the Air Cadet program for many years, first with 107 RCACS-Saskatoon, before joining 574 RCACS. Lieutenant Hodges currently serves as the Squadron Training Officer. 574 RCACS, formally located in Choiceland, SK, was stood down due to dwindling numbers of cadets in the area, before being stood

back up in Martensville in 2016. 574 RCACS now serves the City of Martensville, as well as the City of Warman, Osler and area, giving youth in the area, access to one of the best youth programs in Canada. Air Cadets have many opportunities afforded to them, including summer camps, as well as opportunities to earn their glider and powered pilots license. 574 RCACS parades every Thursday evening, from 6:30pm-9:15 p.m. at the Northridge Centennial Community Centre, located at 901 3rd St. N, in Martensville. The program is free of charge for any youth between the ages of 12-18. For more information about 574 RCACS, please phone (306) 222-8628.

Mennonite Archives a gold mine for local history buffs By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca With literally thousands of periodicals, books, school, church and family records on its shelves, the Mennonite Historical Society of Saskatchewan (MHSS) Archives is one of the best resources in the province for local history researchers. Located in the basement of Bethany Manor on LaRonge Road in Saskatoon, the MHSS Archives is staffed by volunteers and is open Monday and Wednesday afternoons. “It’s a tremendous place for researching your family roots or community history,” said MHSS Board member Leonard Doell of Aberdeen, author of “Hague-Osler Mennonite Reserve”, the definitive history of Mennonite-founded communities north of Saskatoon. “You’d be surprised at the kind of things you’ll find.” The MHSS Archives current location dates back to 2002, but the records stored and catalogued there are much older. Doell notes that there are many old newspapers in both English and German that are accessible either in bound copies, digitally or in microfilm format. “We have all the bound issues of the Saskatchewan Valley News dating back to 1975,” said Doell. “As well as old issues of the Village Press and, more recently, the Clark’s Crossing Gazette.” Doell said the volunteers who work at the Mennonite Archives are knowledgeable resource people that are able to guide re-

train a lot of our volunteers.” Doell added that an added bonus of having the archives located at Bethany Manor is that many of the residents of the seniors home are themselves excellent sources of first-hand information. “A lot of the people who live at Bethany come from small towns across the province,” said Doell. “They have many interesting and colourful stories you won’t find in

MHSS Archives prove useful for researching Mennonite migrations By RUTH MARLENE FRIESEN Editor, Saskatchewan Mennonite Historian Mennonites have a history of many migrations; it must be embedded in our DNA by now. As early as 1530 Dutch and Flemish Mennonites moved to Danzig, Prussia, to escape persecution in the Low Countries. A century or two later their descendants moved on, in several waves, to the Steppes of Russia at Catherine the Great’s invitation (1763). In the second half of the 19th century their descendants emigrated to North America in waves. Most of those from Russia ended up in the prairie provinces of Canada and the prairie states of the United States in the late 1800s. While the 1920s brought fresh waves from Russia, escaping war and starvation, large numbers of the most conservative Mennonites already settled on our prairies, picked up and moved again to Mexico, and Central and South America, looking for more religious freedom. On the other hand, some Mennonites made a daring and unusual trek around via the Silk Road, from Russia

any book.” In addition to operating the Archives, the MHSS also issues a variety of publications including the Saskatchewan Mennonite Historian, books and pamphlets. The society also hosts educational events that focus on specific aspects of Mennonite history, culture and religion. The MHSS annual meeting is slated to be held in early March

to some Asian locations. Many died along the way, but some made it back, and then to North America, too. About 35,000 Mennonites were brought out of Russia by the German army during the Revolution. Of these some settled in the Vistula area, and others migrated on to South America or joined others here in Canada and the USA. Do you find this all very fascinating? The place to find more stories and detailed historical records is your Archives in the basement below the Fellowship Centre of Bethany Manor (110 LaRonge Road, Saskatoon).

Just make arrangements to visit the archives during our regular hours (Mondays 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. and Wednesdays 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.) and ask the volunteers to show you where to start.

Area communities receive federal recreation grants Several area communities are recipients of federal grants to upgrade recreational facilities. The Village of Borden is receiving $15,000 from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program (CIP 150) to replace its municipal playground. Waldheim ($53,100), Whitecap Dakota First Nation ($29,692), Rosthern ($178,679), Duck Lake ($50,000) and Prud’homme ($8,600) are also included in the list of 62 projects to receive a total of $4,390,906 in funding. An announcement was made in Regina by Hon.

Ralph Goodale, MP on Tuesday, December 20. Goodale said these improvements will help the facilities be sustainable over the long-term, which will provide many Saskatchewan residents with updated amenities to enjoy well into the future. The Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program is part of Canada 150 Celebrates, the Government of Canada’s celebration of our country’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. Budget 2016 provided an additional $150 million over two years to Canada’s Regional Development Agencies to in-

vest in local improvements to communities across the country, starting in 2016-17, with Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) being responsible for administering the program in Western Canada. Through investments in community infrastructure, the Government of Canada will support projects that seek to renovate, expand, and improve existing community infrastructure with a focus on recreational facilities, projects that advance a clean growth economy, and projects with a positive impact on Indigenous communities.

PUBLIC HEARING Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, January 16, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers at the R.M. of Corman Park No. 344 Office to hear any person or group that wants to comment on the proposed Bylaws. All written comments received by 5:00 p.m., Tuesday, January 10, 2017, will be forwarded to Council. Issued December 19, 2016 at the City of Saskatoon, in the Province of Saskatchewan.

Like Blue? Maybe Yellow? Perhaps Pink? For only $5 per issue, add a coloured background to your Classified Word Ad

ans in 2017. The two main federal measures are changes to Employment Insurance (EI) premiums which will result in tax savings of up to $132 for employees and $185 for employers, and the first full year of the means-tested Canada Child Benefit (CCB), which is also tax-free. “High income earners in most provinces will pay more” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “But for the majority of Canadians, these two changes will mean more money in their pockets.” Hypothetical households could be impacted as follows: A two-child, single-income family in Ontario earning $60,000 per year will pay $122 less in taxes and receive an additional $1,824 in CCB payments. (not including the Ontario carbon tax) A two-child, two-income family in Alberta earning $80,000 per year will pay $153 less in taxes and receive an additional $2,007 in CCB payments (not including the Alberta carbon tax), while the same family in Quebec will pay $233 less in taxes and receive an additional $2,075 in CCB payments.

Wudrick cautioned that while the news was generally positive on EI and child benefits, looming carbon taxes could claw back those gains. “Alberta and Ontario are beginning their ill-ad-

vised experiment with carbon taxes on January 1st, 2017,” said Wudrick. “And if the Trudeau government has their way, other provinces that don’t currently have a carbon tax won’t be far behind.”

Public notice is hereby given that pursuant to Section 13 of The Municipalities Act, the R.M. of Corman Park No. 344, subject to the consent of the Minister of Highways and Infrastructure, intends to close and transfer roadway described as the following: Portion of SE Section 03, Township 39, Range 5, W3M, Roadway Parcel 202813534, Registered Plan 61S16125 INTENT Proposed Bylaw No. 66/16 will provide a notice of intent to permanently close and dispose of a portion of undeveloped road right of way previously utilized for Secondary Highway No. 305. The closed roadway is proposed to be consolidated with adjacent properties. The roadway is shown shaded on Map 1. MAP 1:

RM enters 2017 with surplus The RM of Corman Park will greet the New Year with a surplus thanks in part, to money refunded from the provincial government. The sum of $300,822.15 will be forwarded in two instalments. An audit of ticket revenues revealed the province had not returned the correct portion of the revenues collected back to the RM The results of this audit indicated that 99.8% of revenue was directed to the correct locations, but there were some errors in the distribution of .2% of the funds. A coding error was identified which was corrected through increased training of staff and police. As is their custom for their last meeting of the year, RM council and administration enjoyed a Christmas lunch buffet.

PUBLIC INSPECTION Any person may inspect the proposed Bylaws at the R.M. of Corman Park No. 344 Office at 111 Pinehouse Drive, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up to 5:00 p.m. until Friday, January 13, 2017.

The children of the Lutheran Early Learning Center (LELC) in Warman raised over 250 pounds of cat and dog food, treats, toys and supplies.

ern Canadian communities, which were compounded this fall when weather conditions delayed harvest operations throughout much of the Prairies. “Even though the past year has been challenging, our performance demonstrates the strength of both FCL and the entire Co-operative Retailing System (CRS), which continues to deliver important services in communities big and small,” said FCL CEO Scott Banda.

Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL), the country’s largest non-financial co-operative, will return $364 million to its retail co-operative members across Western Canada this year. For the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 2016, FCL saw revenues of $8.4 billion from its energy, food, home and building and agro businesses, down from $9.1 billion the previous year. The results show the continued effects of the energy sector downturn on west-

“We expect to face difficult waters again in 2017, but we’re positioned to weather these conditions. Across Western Canada, FCL and local retail co-ops are making long-term investments on behalf of Co-op members and their communities that will help us respond to challenges posed by market conditions and competitors.” From net earnings of $515 million, FCL will return $364 million in patronage allocations to 200 independent retail co-ops.
