Osler Historical Society awarded Citizen of Year A volunteer organization that founded the Osler Historical Museum and maintained it for more than 35 years was awarded the town’s “2016 Citizen of the Year” honour last month. Hella Banman and Nettie Balzer accepted the award on behalf of the Osler Historical Society from Osler Mayor Abe Quiring and retiring town councilor Bob Peters at a presentation on December 20 at Osler School. In presenting the award, Quiring said the members and volunteers of the Osler Historical Society have done much to preserve the community’s heritage. Founded in 1980 during Saskatchewan’s 75th anniversary year, the original committee began collecting and displaying artifacts in a room in the old brick school. In 1990 an old homestead was purchased by the town and moved to the museum property. In later years an old school house and old fire

Bylaw officer finds ratepayers receptive By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca After three months, Dave Prout, the new Bylaw Enforcement Officer for the RM of Corman Park says he’s had a chance to meet many of the municipality’s constituents. “I’ve enjoyed the job so far and I’ve enjoyed the people out there,” said Prout. The role itself could present challenges if ratepayers are not following the bylaws and are resistant to making necessary changes. Prout prefers to take a positive approach to the job and he’s getting some positive results. “Ninety-nine per cent of the people I’ve dealt with have typically been nice to deal with and we’ll see how it goes from there,” he said. Prout has had a chance to look into some old files that needed attention, but previously the RM didn’t have the people-power to address. “The first round of notices actually really surprised me because the vast majority of them came back and cleared up the problem,” Prout said. Some old files have received second and third notices. Two or three will require a longer-term enforcement process he added. “They may go to court but we’re hoping they can be cleared up before going through the legal process.” The desire is to get them resolved in a manner that is mutually beneficial and to each party’s satisfaction. Prout’s approach is also proactive as he reaches out to makes those connections and lets people know what he’s working on. Part of the role is providing information to ratepayers on what’s required and guiding them to the appropriate staff member at the RM of Corman Park office.
As Prout is able to close more files from the past and look to the future, new concerns are emerging as he tours the RM. “I just did a review of a business that is scaling up a little bit higher than a home-based business should be. If you’re starting to get into an industrial aspect where you’re hiring more than two people or you’re bringing in 15 family members to run the business, that’s getting a little too high for a residential area.” Bylaws seek to protect the rights of each resident and when they are violated, they impact neighbouring property owners. “What we want is for everybody to be happy and wanting to come home to a good safe environment where they’re pleased to be there,” said Prout. He recently came across a situation where someone had built a shed and is now housing workers in his garage. “That’s against the bylaws.” Permits are required for any new construction on a property. People who don’t acquire a permit before construction will have to pay double the fee once construction has commenced or been completed. Filling the role of bylaw officer is no small task. Bylaws cover a wide range of topics like noise, nuisance, dumping, snow dumping, animals, firearms, garden suites, haying and hunting to name a few, and there are a lot of them. As Prout becomes more familiar with them, he’s hoping positive responses will continue. “People are starting to follow the bylaws both for home-based businesses, for nuisance abatement and for a range of different things,” Prout said.

A group of 27 women participated in a “One and Done” fundraiser for MS held at the JJ Loewen Centre. The painting of a journal held special significance for Shannon Arends who organized the fundraiser on behalf of her son.
Dalmeny women raise funds by painting for Multiple Sclerosis By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca A group of budding artists took to canvas to test their skills in a “One and Done” paint night in Dalmeny last Friday night. The women gathered in support of a Multiple Sclerosis fundraiser organized by Shannon Arends who became an advocate for MS when her son was diagnosed with the disease over two years ago. Some types of MS are more progressive than others. “My son was told that he would be in a wheelchair within a year,” said Arends. “But thankfully that’s not the case. He is still walking and doing very well.” While his symptoms may not be apparent to others, as a mom, Arends says she can see the signs of how the disease is affecting him. Arends asked her friend, artist Ramona Swift-Thiessen, to be the instructor for the paint night. Swift-Thiessen is a former Dalmeny resident whose paintings were often seen displayed at the What’s on Third restaurant in town.
The painting Arends chose had special significance. “As a mom, I write a journal for my kids. The painting we chose was of a journal, a cup of coffee and a flower,” Arends said, emotion creeping into her voice. Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world. Of the provinces, Saskatchewan has one of the highest rates in the country. “Over 3,500 individuals and families are affected by MS in Saskatchewan alone,” said Arends. She has become personally invested in helping solve the puzzle of MS in Canada and in Saskatchewan. Each of the 27 women who participated in the One and Done fundraiser completed their version of the same painting in about two hours. “We raised $600! I thought that was great, especially from a group of women just getting together to paint.” The funds go directly to the MS Society. Arends was grateful to the women who came out to support her and her son. Some cupcakes were donated by Michelle’s Neat Treats and Swift-Thiessen
“One and Done” instructor Ramon SwiftThiessen said the group was a joy to teach donated her time for the evening. “Shannon is a good friend of mine,” said Swift-Thiessen. “When she came to me with the idea for this fundraiser, I was happy to help as it’s something near and dear to her heart. The evening was great, and the ladies who ventured out on that cold and windy night were bubbling with enthusiasm and just a joy to teach.”

Arends says the MS Walk is “the most wonderful fundraiser ever.” It takes place on April 30, and the MS Bike Tour is on September 16 in Waskesiu. “When you find out your child has a debilitating disease you would walk a mile in their shoes if you could,” said Arends. “For the love of my son I would do anything. I’d take it away in a heartbeat for him.”

MARTENSVILLE-WARMAN CONSTITUENCY
As you know, Saskatchewan is facing a budget deficit of over $1 billion. That’s because our resource revenues have dropped by well over a billion dollars and have stayed there for three years now. As you can imagine, three years of rain has depleted the rainy-day fund. As a result, our government will be taking steps to control and reduce spending in the upcoming budget. The largest single area of government spending is compensation – over $7 billion a year in salaries and benefits for valued public sector employees across all of government. We know that any meaningful effort to reduce government spending must include a reduction of that amount. We believe it is important to lead by example and that means our government will not ask other public sector workers to do anything that we’re not prepared to do ourselves. That’s why we will start by reducing the salaries of the premier, all ministers, and MLAs by 3.5% effective April 1st. All of the staff who work in the Premier’s Office and minister’s offices will also be required to take 9 unpaid days off a year, which also amounts to a salary reduction of 3.5%. These measures are a good start. They will save about a half a million dollars a year. But we must go further. That’s why our government will be looking to reduce overall public sector compensation by that same 3.5%. We hope to achieve this through negotiation with the various public sector unions. We understand there is no one solution that will work for everyone and we don’t want to prescribe specific measures. We are confident, however, that by sitting down with the various public sector unions, we will be able to achieve the saving needed through negotiating various options at the table. We look forward to the various public sector employers working with their respective unions to reach negotiated agreements that work for everyone, including Saskatchewan taxpayers. I am confident that as our government works together with the people of Saskatchewan, we will meet the challenges ahead while continuing to provide important services and keep the province growing.

Re-route gas pipeline around organic valley at Beaver Creek The Friends of Beaver Creek Ecosystem have started a petition and are contacting Premier Brad Wall in an attempt to save their organic valley from what amounts to a Dangerous Goods Transportation Corridor. TransGas Limited, a subsidiary of SaskEnergy incorporated, has proposed a 60 kilometre natural gas pipeline that will go from near Vanscoy to near BeaverCreek and then to Patience lake. TransGas states this pipeline is needed to connect the east and west sides of Saskatoon and will cross under the South Saskatchewan River. Field assessment work starts in 2017 and construction could begin as soon as early summer 2018. Landowners in the organic valley adjacent to Beaver Creek Conservation Area and the River are an-
gry with the way TransGas has gone about obtaining permission for this pipeline. Initial public meetings described a single pipeline of unstated size that was needed for the PCS potash mine at Patience Lake. Landowners were contacted by a subcontractor. The sole responsibility of the contractor was to have the landowners sign a Right-Of-Way easement. Their questions and suggestions were not answered. No written information was supplied except an incredibly one-sided easement. This easement allows a 30 metre corridor across their land for the use of Transgas. It allows Transgas unlimited access to their land and TransGas can add any other infrastructure or pipelines they want. TransGas allows themselves to not only transport natural gas but also any other gaseous, liquid, or solid substance.

The 30 metre easement that Transgas is willing to compensate the land owner for does not include the setbacks that will be imposed on the landowner by the rural municipality. Setbacks that Transgas must know about since they sent the setbacks out to all Rural Municipalities in July of 2016. It appears that 300 meters or1000 feet will be affected by a 20 inch pipeline. The landowners have been contacted on one or more occasions to sign the Right-OfWay easement. Everyone in this organic valley have refused to sign and most have been verbally informed that they need to sign “or else”. The Landowners continue to protest that the pipeline goes through pristine wilderness and organic farmland and that the pipeline might contaminate the watershed for our wells and Beaver Creek Conservation

Area. Landowners ask why TransGas is not putting the pipeline through nearby crownland that cannot be developed. Finally, in desperation, the Friends of Beaver Creek Ecosystem started a petition. The petition asks for a re-route of the pipeline and an environmental, economic, and social impact study regardless of the location. The petition is a growing success and may be expanded into an online petition. Friends of Beaver Creek Ecosystem are hopeful that a pipeline route that preserves their country lifestyle and the environment can be found. They also urge other land owners along this pipeline to carefully consider just what they are being asked to sign. Ruth Gosselin Landowner and a member of Friends of Beaver Creek Ecosystem

Years of persistence pays off with treaty compensation payment By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca After years of hearing stories from their elders about the suffering on the Beardy’s & Okemasis reserve near Duck Lake in the immediate aftermath of the 1885 Northwest Resistance, also known as the Riel Rebellion, Angus Esperance and the late Andy Michael set out to document the facts. Their research efforts eventually took them to the national archives in Ottawa, where they found documents proving treaty annuities were deliberately withheld from Beardy’s & Okemasis, as well as 13 other First Nations between 1885 and 1888. The evidence was key to launching a case that eventually went to the federal Specific Claims Tribunal. “At the time we started out, Andy was the councillor in charge of the Specific Claims project,” said Espe-
rance during a presentation at a celebration at the Beardy’s recreation hall on March 2 marking the tribunal’s payment to the First Nation. “At first we travelled on our own dime, with a bit of reimbursement for expenses. But eventually Andy got the FSIN to sponsor us. “In 1998, the federal government recognized First Nations elders’ oral testimony and that opened the door for Specific Claims cases across Canada.” In 1999, Andy Michael passed away after an illness. Esperance said he was devastated at the time, but vowed to continue the work. “I know that Andy is here with us in spirit today,” said Esperance. In 2000, the law firm of Ron Maurice came on side to help Beardy’s & Okemasis pursue their claim, which was officially filed in 2001. “In 2007, Ron Maurice went to Ottawa to check on
the status of the case, and he found our claim on a shelf gathering dust,” said Esperance. “No action had been taken by the federal government.” To bolster their case, Beardy’s Chief Rick Gamble, Esperance and Maurice convinced 13 other bands (10 in the North Battleford area and three others in the Saskatoon area) to join in and work together. In 2011, that united effort took shape. “It worked out very good,” said Esperance. “We used three elements: the Creator, using prayers, sweat lodge ceremonies and sundances; the cooperation of all 14 bands; and bringing in grassroots people, especially elders, to testify.” The first hearings on the case were held June 12 and 13, 2013 at Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nation. The second hearing was held at Wanuskewin, and the third and fourth hearings were in
North Battleford. Theresa Seeseequasis, an elder at Beardy’s & Okemasis, was a key witness at the first hearing in 2013. Her emotional and heartfelt testimony relating how her father, a man of little formal education who spoke only broken English, was routinely cheated and belittled by the local Indian Agent, had a visible impact on the judge. “When I finished speaking, our lawyer, Ron Maurice came over and sat beside me,” said Seeseequasis. “He gave me the ‘thumbs-up’ sign and said to me quietly, ‘we won our case because of what you said.’ “I was very relieved to hear that,” she said. Seeseequasis urged Beardy’s & Okemasis community members to “be happy with what you are getting today, and use your money wisely because we have been waiting for this for twenty years.”

Community welcomes specific claims payment
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Two decades ago, a few committed members of the Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nation set out to right a wrong. On Thursday, March 2, they finally saw their efforts bear fruit. A Legacy Trust fund has been set up to administer and invest $4.5 million in compensation payments received by the First Nation for treaty annuity payments withheld from their ancestors in the late 19th century. Interest from the trust fund investments should help the Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nation community achieve financial security in the decades to come. “Whoa, it’s been 20 years and it’s been a long struggle, but it was worth it.” said Beardy’s elder Angus Esperance during a celebration on March 2 at the community’s recreation centre that attracted hundreds of people. “Today is a special day, where we honour our ancestors and give hope to future generations.” The $4.5 million financial award is based on a decision made on May 6, 2015 by Justice Harry Slade of the Specific Claims Tribunal. The specific dollar amount of the award was announced on January 23, 2017 by the Tribunal, and the band received the funds on February 15., 2017. The funds are intended to compensate the First Nation for the withholding of annual payments under Treaty 6 for a four-year period, from 1885 to 1888. Under the terms of Treaty 6, each member of the First Nation was entitled to $5 annually. But these payments were withheld by the federal government of the day because it believed Beardy’s members were involved in the 1885 Northwest Resistance, also referred to as the Riel Rebellion. The Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nation filed a claim with the Specific Claims Tribunal in 2011, alleging the
Crown breached its Treaty obligations by withholding the treaty annuity payments. The Tribunal agreed with the claim. On March 2, a treaty payment of $250 was made to all registered members of the Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nation. But the individual per capita payments aren’t actually coming from the $4.5 million Specific Claims fund. Beardy’s & Okemasis Chief Financial Officer Juliano Tupeno explained in a presentation to the meeting that the band has taken out a $900,000 bank loan to cover the expense of the per capita cheques to band members. That loan will be paid back using interest from the Legacy Trust fund investments. That way, he said, the principal capital in the trust fund is not eroded. “We received a $900,000 loan from the First Nations Bank to cover off the treaty payments that we’re starting
today,” said Tupeno. “And the reason we received a loan is because we’re expecting to see interest returns on this Legacy Trust of about 7 per cent a year. “So it makes sense to borrow the $900,000 at 3 per cent from the bank, while keeping the principal in the trust fund earning 7 per cent annually.” The Legacy Trust Fund will also be used to strengthen the First Nation’s business ventures, including Blackhawk’s Esso on Highway 11 at Duck Lake; while providing a regular source of funds for improving housing, education, recreation and other services on the reserve. The Legacy Trust Fund is fundamentally different from Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) trust funds, which were specifically meant for land purchases, said Tupino. “The Legacy Trust is administered by professional investment managers with Royal Trust, and
there are very strict rules and regulations that have to be followed. There is also accountability built into the structure,” he said. Tupino estimates the Legacy Trust fund should grow to about $16 million after ten years, and to about $18.6 million after 25 years. The slow growth between Years 10 and 25 is due to uncertainty over the investment of SIGA funds during that period, he noted. “SIGA gaming revenue is only committed for 10 years,” he noted. By Year 50,, the trust fund could be as high as $32 million. Beardy’s councillor Jeremy Seeseequasis said the trust fund is leaving something for the next seven generations. “We’re building our nation,” said Seeseequasis. “This is a way of planting seeds of prosperity by enhancing business development and finding a way to finance community programs and services into the future.”

Survivor-style fundraiser grants wishes Corporate Saskatchewan teams risk banishment to Exile Island
The fine art of transporting a tic-tac mint with chop sticks across a gym was on display at the Warman Legends Centre on March 10. The Children’s Wish Foundation also saw teams guide a ping pong ball across the same distance with a pool noodle and pass a balloon from team member to team member without using their hands. For the balloon challenge one shall we say, more clever team had one member hold the balloon in her teeth and touch all the team members with in a quick pass. They ruled for that challenge. The six teams were from Saskatchewan’s corporate community. Modelled after the TV show “Survivor,” at Exile Island, teams faced off against each other in a variety of games and challenges. This year,
the theme for Exile Island was “At the Movies,” with each team choosing the favorite movie of their Wish Child ambassador. Partnering with a local wish child, each team spent the last several months raising funds to help grant the most heartfelt wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Each team had a goal of $10,000. On challenge day, teams paid homage to their chosen movie with their attire, cheer and team spirit. They were welcomed to the event by Emcee Rob Suskie and Mayor of Exile Island Sam. Beginning at 1:00 p.m., teams began moving through various stations of “Amazing Race” style challenges. To wrap up all teams squared off in one final relay race, followed by closing ceremonies, awards and a well-deserved meal.
A survivor-style challenge to raise funds for the Children’s Wish Foundation tested the skill and patience of six teams who had a lot of laughs and sent up many cheers on behalf of their members. HILARY KLASSEN CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
Online registration available at new Martensville website Registering for activities, requesting property reports, viewing tax and utility statements just got easier for Martensville residents. The City of Martensvile’s new website, Martensville. ca, provides online tools to make communication and access to services with the City easier and faster. “We knew from our research with residents that the number one way residents want to get information from the City is via the website,” said Dillon Shewchuk, Manager of Community & Economic Development. “We also knew the site required some work to make it more useful, and so a total re-design and re-build was
completed.” The site now features a main page where website visitors can quickly view the latest news via social media posts, view videos and use the new online tools that allow residents to request reports and statements, report an issue, register for recreation programs, check a recreation facility schedule and sign up for the Notifynow emergency notification system. The main page features links to City reports where residents can learn how the City is planning for the future. “Our research found that the top reason residents were using our old website was to find out about recreation ac-
tivities and facilities,” said Shewchuk. “Our research also showed residents wanted more information on longterm planning as our City grows, and what we are doing in the area of business and development to promote our City.” Besides links to Services for Residents, Parks & Recreation and Business & Development, the site features a section for visitors and potential residents to discover Martensville. The site is mobile friendly and contains images that showcase the beauty of the City. “We hope the improvements to the website will be helpful to residents, and we invite their feedback.”

City looks to fine tune townhouse bylaw By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The City of Martensville gave first reading to a zoning bylaw aimed at fine-tuning the definition of multifamily townhouses at its regular meeting on Tuesday, March 7. The bylaw amendment would allow more than one primary building on a townhouse site, and also allow private backyards for each dwelling unit. In a background document, the city’s infrastructure and planning department notes that multi-family townhous-

es offer an affordable alternative to single-family homes. “Street Townhouse style dwellings...provide the most space (indoor and outdoor) at the lowest cost and are much cheaper to maintain and heat,” noted the document. “They provide as much outdoor privacy as a semi-detached home while making more efficient use of the land that would be otherwise lost in side yards.” The proposed bylaw amendment spells out landscaping requirements for multi-family residential dwellings.

Fire Rescue sees increase in call volume
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca January and February were busy months for Warman Fire Rescue (WFR), according to fire chief Russ Austin. While the number of medical calls was up slightly, the biggest increase was in the number of fire-related emergencies, said Austin in a March 3 interview. “We had 49 medical calls to the end of February in 2017, compared to 36 in the same period in 2016; and 26 fire and rescue-related calls this year compared to 13 in the first two months of last year,” he noted. Austin said January and February are traditionally slower months for fire rescue incidents, but that wasn’t the case in 2017. He said several incidents in-
volved minor kitchen fires in multi-unit senior housing facilities. “In those cases, there were actually smaller fires that began on the stove. Fortunately, between ourselves and the homeowners, we were able to knock them down quickly before they could spread and there was very little damage.” Most of the fire rescue and medical calls were within city limits, said Austin. One unusual call occurred on January 13, when first responders assisted with a birth at a home in Warman. A call regarding a mother in labour at her home came in at 5:05 a.m., Austin said. Seven minutes later first responders on the scene helped with the delivery of a healthy baby girl.
The cast and crew of Scared Scriptless Players in Warman has a murder mystery all teed up for this weekend. They are presenting Ed Scala’s Bloody Murder March 17-19. The story is full of twists and turns and, of course plenty of laughs. Set in the British countryside of the 1930s we meet Lady Somerset as she hosts a weekend getaway. The usual suspects in this who-doneit are all there; the grizzled military man, the useless, hard partying nephew, the innocent ingénue, but as the
story unfolds, the audience quickly realizes this is not another Clue. “I chose this play because it’s not a clichéd script,” says director April Watson. “It’s a cross between an Agatha Christie novel and Abbott & Costello. The characters know that they are in a story being written and don’t have total control over their actions. They break the fourth wall and that’s where the audience comes in.” Actor and Warman resident Gwenda MacPherson says the Scared Scriptless

Austin advised residents to stay off the ice of stormwater reservoirs. “We’re expecting another period of fairly warm weather.

Marauders advance to Senior basketball teams Bantam A provincial final advance to regionals
By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Martensville Marauders edged the Warman Wildcats Lynx 6-5 in Game 2 of the SHA Bantam A northern provincial, on Sunday, March 12, at home, which clinched their ticket to the SHA provincial final against the Prairie Storm. Martensville had a onegoal advantage going into the final contest of the twogame, total goals series, and Warman put up a fight in this matchup. The Wildcats scored the opening goal and had a 4-3 lead in the third period. However, the Marauders didn’t panic and eventually regained the lead, scoring two goals in the final frame, as the last one was an empty netter. Brayden Woods and Ty Albrecht were the goal scorers. Whenever Martensville and Warman play each other, the game becomes more passionate and Marauders coach John Kachur said this rivalry between the two cities has been built up ever since the youth started playing hockey. “It’s definitely an emotional win for the boys. They’re pretty excited and they should be, and they’ve worked hard for it. So I’m really proud of the group,” Kachur said. Both teams played at a fast pace to begin the first period as each club had equal scoring chances. Martensville committed a penalty around the midway point of the frame, and Warman capitalized on the power
play as Rayden Pauls scored the goal. The Lynx had a 1-0 lead going into the middle frame and after back-to-back penalties in the first half of the period, the Marauders saw an opening to take the momentum. Dallas Nicholson netted one on the manadvantage and after that goal Martensville started to spend more time in Warman’s zone. “When you get that momentum and you get one (goal) ... all of a sudden the legs start moving and we get the pressure going. Well then, everybody starts to feel it,” Kachur said. Woods and Nicholson recorded another two goals for Martensville, which gave the Marauders a 3-1 lead. However, that burst of energy from the Marauders didn’t affect the Lynx as Pauls and Owen Tallmadge both scored toward the end of the frame “They (Warman) were relentless. They didn’t shut it down, they came back at us again and they tied it up,” Kachur said. The Lynx continued to have the edge at the start of third period, and within the first four minutes of the frame, Chase Pauls gave the Wildcats the lead.
“That’s what we needed. We needed to get up in the third like that. And we just couldn’t sustain (the pressure) and keep it going,” said Warman coach Vance Heaney. Holden Doell regained the lead for the Marauders, 49 seconds after the Pauls goal. But Warman eventually tied the game after a power play goal from Darien Noln-Ens, as the Wildcats were 3-for4 on the man advantage throughout the game. Even though Martensville committed multiple penalties in the game, Kachur said the Marauders were able to play with discipline throughout the contest. “In a emotional game like this, it’s easy to give out an extra jab or that extra punch and we really stepped it up,” Kachur said. Warman had its opportunities to change the outcome of the game and Heaney said the team set the tone at times and played physical, but the Lynx couldn’t finish. Although the Lynx are eliminated from provincials, they are still competing in the Saskatoon Minor Hockey Association league playoffs. “It was a close series, we battled hard, and our kids left it all out there,” Heaney said. “We still have the opportunity to advance in the city (playoffs) and try to win a championship there.” Game 1 of the Bantam A provincial final is on Saturday, March 18. And Game 2 will be in Martensville on Saturday, March 25.
It was a busy time for basketball as many senior high school teams competed in the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association Basketball Conference Championships that took place on Mar. 10 and 11 in many locations. There were many teams within the Clark’s Crossing Gazette distribution area that advance to the regional basketball championship that will happen on Mar. 18. The teams that made it to ther conference tournament final advanced to regionals. The local teams that will be competing at the regional tournament in the 1A girls division include Hague and Asquith. The teams representing the girls 2A division are Hepburn, Osler VCA, Stobart and Rosthern Junior College. In the boys 1A division Hepburn advanced and the teams that moved on in the boys 2A category were Rosthern Junior College, Stobart, Asquith and Osler VCA.

perfect “10” from the judges for one of his platform dives. In addition, he won gold in the 3m event at the Manitoba Provincials, which consisted of competitors from three provinces. The other nominee for the award was Brian Palaschuk, 18, of Regina, who was nominated by Swim Saskatchewan.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the estate of MARY FEHR
PLEWES, Grant Wilson Grant Wilson Plewes passed away quietly at his home in Saskatoon on Thursday, March 9 at the age of 89 years. Grant was born September 25, 1927 in Moosomin, Saskatchewan, the second of six children born to Margaret Vickers Crosson Plewes and Albert Russell Plewes. When Grant was five, the family moved to a farm in the Spy Hill district. Grant attended Spy Hill School and later graduated from the two-year School of Agriculture course at the University of Saskatchewan. Grant married Helen Regier of Warman on January 7, 1961 and the couple farmed together at Spy Hill until retiring to Saskatoon in 2001. Grant was a man of few words but strong convictions; a well-read, gentle, generous, hardworking person who loved his family and the outdoors. He was active in the cooperative movement, community organizations, the local United Church, the CCF/ NDP, and the farmers union. Grant is survived by his loving wife, Helen Plewes; his two sons Edwin Plewes and James Plewes; and granddaughter Nicole Plewes; sister Edna Pugh of West Kelowna, BC; brother Jack Plewes of Karameos, BC; sister-in-law Alice Plewes of Saskatoon; sister Merle (Lloyd) Godwin of Tantallon, Saskatchewan; sister-in-law Justina (Serge) Nazarenko of Saskatoon; sister-in-law Nettie (Roy) Wahl of Saskatoon; brother-in-law Peter (Marie) Regier of Saskatoon; brother-in-law Bill (Ruby) Regier of Lanigan; brother-in-law Francis Crandell of Saskatoon; and sister-inlaw Betty Regier of Saskatoon. He was predeceased by his parents Vickie and Russell Plewes; sister Dean (Ralph) Murray; brother-in-law Rodger Pugh; brother Frank Plewes; sister-in-law Arlene Plewes; sister-in-law Tena (Jake) Friesen; brother-in-law Dave Regier; brother-inlaw Henry (Ann) Regier; brother-in-law Joe (Sophie) Regier; sister-in-law Ann (Abe) Friesen; sister-in-law Susan Crandell; brother-in-law Isaac (Betty) Regier; sister-in-law Elizabeth (Henry) Rempel; sister-in-law Mary (Dave) Hein; and numerous nieces and nephews.

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19
Simple pleasures will offer you the greatest rewards over the next few days, Capricorn. You don’t require a lot of fanfare or extravagance. Relish in creature comforts.
AQUARIUS January 20– February 18
You are becoming more attuned with how others may be able to help you advance your career. Don’t hesitate to seek advice. The time for change could be upon you.
PISCES February 19– March 20
Pisces, make an effort to communicate more with those around you. Life can feel isolated without a good foundation of friends.
ARIES March 21– April 19
Aries, you will likely experience a week of thoughtfulness and reflection. It can be a very “zen” experience for you, as you’re not typically used to slowing down.
TAURUS April 20– May 20
Keep your cool in the week ahead, which might be more tumultuous than you’re accustomed to. Don’t take things personally, and rest assured things will blow over soon.
GEMINI May 21– June 21

CANCER June 22– July 22
Cancer, this week you may feel as if your energy doesn’t go as far as it once did. Speak up if you find yourself battling exhaustion. Others can help.
LEO July 23– August 22
Leo, others see you as witty and a good storyteller, so you might be called on to make a speech or emcee an important event. Make it your own.
VIRGO August 23– September 22
Virgo, you may have to play the role of peacekeeper this week when bickering between others gets out of hand. Step in and negotiate a truce.
LIBRA September 23– October 22
Libra, be your own person, even when someone else tries to guide you into his or her line of thinking. Don’t fall for any subterfuge or get carried away.
SCORPIO October 23– November 21
Cooperation instead of competition may be the way to get ahead this week, Scorpio. Take a look at what others are doing and see if you can combine your efforts.
SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21
Sagittarius, meeting new people is often exciting and you could have the opportunity for new introductions this week. Just remember that first impressions last.

NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF ASSESSMENT ROLL City of Warman
Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Montrose, No. 315 intends to consider alterations to a proposed new Zoning Bylaw and Official Community Plan under Section 211 of The Planning and Development Act, 2007.
INTENT Council intends to consider alterations to the proposed new Zoning Bylaw and Official Community Plan. The alterations are noted below: 1. The proposed zoning bylaw alterations will affect the Zoning Bylaw by: a. Replacing the definition for an Intensive Livestock Operation with a new definition that is more consistent with the provincial standard; b. Fixing several typographical errors; and c. Adding manure disposal as a permitted use within the A – Agriculture Zoning District, subject to the requirement for separation between residential uses and the requirement for annual permits. 2. The proposed Official Community Plan alterations will affect the Official Community Plan by: a. Fixing a typographical error; b. Deleting the species-specific required separation distances for manure spreading versus residential uses in Table 5-1 and replacing them with separation distances for solid manure (incorporated within 24 hours), solid manure (not incorporated within 24 hours) and liquid manure (must be incorporated within 24 hours) versus residential uses; c. Adding a provision that does not allow manure to spread on land more than once every three years; d. Adding a provision that would require new residential uses to maintain a separation distance from lawfully existing Intensive Livestock Operations that is one level of intensity higher than the current level of intensity described in Table 5-1; e. Replacing Map 1 - Development Constraints and Map 2 – Intensive Livestock Operations Minimum Separation Distances with 2 new maps that more clearly identify the locations of existing Intensive Livestock Operations; f. Clarifying that acceptable methods of incorporating manure include: tandem disc, cultivation and vertical tillage; and g. Clarifying and highlighting some of the obligations for developers pursuant to the Heritage Property Act. REASON The reason for the alterations to the Zoning Bylaw are to provide for more clarity and to add some additional regulations for manure spreading. The reason for the alterations to the Official Community Plan are to provide more clarity and to implement more appropriate and balanced separation distances for manure spreading and Intensive Livestock Operations versus residential uses. Additionally, both alterations are intended to help mitigate land use conflicts. PUBLIC INSPECTION Any person may inspect the proposed bylaw with alterations at the R.M. Office in the Hamlet of Donavon, located off 1st Avenue, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday to Thursday, excluding statutory holidays.

Clavet youth enjoys supercross experience
By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca Chase Loy of Clavet had an experience of a lifetime, competing on the national stage of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship racing series, and he is only sevenyears old. During the intermission of the Atlanta Supercross event, in late February, Loy was able to race against others his age as part of the KTM Junior SX Challenge. The KTM Junior SX Challenge was only open to seven and eight-year-olds. Once they sent in an application for that event then it was just a luck of a draw to see who gets to participate. Fifteen riders were selected for the race, as the Junior SX Challenge only happens during 10 events during the supercross championship racing series, which consists of 17 venues overall. A few requirements had to be met during the application process to be even entered in that draw. “Chase ... had to provide a letter from his teacher saying that he had above average grades in school, he had to get a letter from a doctor saying that he was within a certain weight and height restriction. And then he had to provide a rider’s resume saying that he had previous riding experience,” said Chase’s mom Beth Loy. Chase has been involved in the motocross sport for two years and he says he is enjoying it as this is the

an early edge on his opponents by getting the “holeshot,” which is the first rider to reach the first corner after the starting gate. Chase has never experienced something like this and this experience definitely helped him become better at the sport as he plans on doing it for a long time. He said that his dad is going to make a track on their acreage, so he’ll get in a lot of practice. Even though Chase is still
very young this event in Atlanta will be probably one of his best experiences in the motocross sport. “It’s a once in a lifetime experience, (for) the seven and eight’s and after that you can’t apply for it again,” Regan said. “So unless you go pro you’ll never do that again. You don’t have the opportunity to ride on the same track as the pros and do all the same stuff. It’s a really big deal, and (he) got to do that.”
Chase Loy had quite the experience during the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship Series in Atlanta on Saturday, February 25 biggest event he has raced in so far. For the race in Atlanta he had little time to train. Even though he applied for the program before Christmas they were told that he was selected for it at the beginning of February. “Regan (Chase’s dad) made Chase an ice track so we got some studded tires for his bike,” Beth said. “We have a slough out in our back yard and he practiced on an ice track to get some seat time before the race.” Once Chase got to the Georgia Dome, in Atlanta, he was immersed in what goes behind the scenes of a race and what the professionals experience as well. “The day we show up, they get outfitted with all their gear and then they have mechanics, and a pit crew. They get treated like a pro,” said Chase’s dad Regan. The bike that Chase rode
was supplied and the gear he wore, he got to keep, which included the jersey, pants, and gloves. He also got to keep the Go-Pro camera that was on his helmet during the race. One of Chase’s favorite parts of this whole experience was meeting with the professional riders. His favourite riders included Ryan Dungey, Marvin Musquin and Trey Ca-

nard, as they are some the top athletes of the sport. Chase was also on the big screen and waved to the fans and signed some autographs as well. “There was a 1,000 pages to sign,” Chase said Chase placed 8th out of 15 riders. He was the only rider from Canada in this particular Junior SX Challenge. Chase said he tries to get

pointing fans as it’s a close series so far between the Rosthern Wheat Kings and the St. Louis Blues. These are the top two teams of the regular season battling it out and the first two games of the series were competitively close. Rosthern came out on top 5-4 in double overtime in Game 1 on Friday, March 10 and in Game 2 the Blues responded with a 4-2 victory in St. Louis the following night. In the first game in Rosthern, the Wheat Kings scored early in the opening period, as Micheal Epp was the goal scorer. Later in the period, St. Louis responded with a goal
and the game was tied, going into the middle frame. During a Rosthern power play in the second period, St. Louis had a short handed opportunity to take the lead but the Wheat Kings eventually scored on the man advantage. “It’s always tough when a short handed chance comes up. So we wanted to try to kill that momentum anyway we can and just ... move the puck, and get it on the net on the power play, and finish with goals,” Wheat Kings player Kyle Aucoin. St. Louis once again tied the game. But late in the period, Epp netted his second goal of the game to regain the lead for Rosthern. Two minutes into the third frame, St. Louis once again knotted the score.
Around the midway point of the game, Matt Pilon gave the Wheat Kings a 4-3 lead, however the Blues netted one shortly after that goal and the game ended up going into overtime. Ernie Muller scored within the first two minutes of the second overtime to give Rosthern the win. The Blues outshot Rosthern 52-37 and Wheat Kings netminder Jeff Bosch kept his team in the game and was a big contributor to the win. Game 3 of the series was in Rosthern on Wednesday, March 15 as game results were not available at press time. Game 4 will be in St. Louis on Friday March 17 and a possible Game 5 is scheduled to be played in Rosthern the following night.

Martensville moves onto Peewee A provincial final
By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Martensville Marauders advanced to the SHA Peewee A provincial final after a 4-0 victory over the Warman Wildcats on Sunday, March 12. With this win and the 5-0 win in Game 1 of the two-game, total-goals series, Martensville defeated Warman 9 goals to 0 as Game 2 was played at the Diamond Arena in Warman. Right from the drop of the puck in the first period, Warman generated the early pressure but Martensville quickly responded by scoring a goal. Martensville also end-
ed a Warman streak as the Wildcats had won the Peewee A north final and the provincial final four years in a row. “It’s nice to beat a rival team like that, especially when they won it so many years in a row,” said Martensville coach Stew Pearce. The Marauders only led 2-0 after the 40 minutes and even though Martensville had a commanding lead in the series Pearce said that it was possible for Warman to make a comeback. “It was a pretty close game ... but I’ve seen teams come back from five goals (down) and it’s not easy (to win theses games),” Pearce
said. Overall Pearce thought that all the players contributed to the win. “It was a full team effort. Goaltending was amazing today, he stood on his head and in the first period it was only one shot difference so he played really well. And the kids just wanted it,” Pearce said. Even though Warman didn’t get on the scoreboard in this game and in the series, Wildcats coach Bevin Guenther though there were opportunities throughout the game to score. “I feel we had as many good scoring chances as they did. The difference being some are in our net
and none got in their’s,” Guenther said. “Congratulations to Martensville. Anytime you get a shutout it’s pretty incredible, but a twogame, total-points shutout, hats off to their group over there for sure.” Despite the loss, Guenther thought the Wildcats improved on the power play compared to Game 1 of the series. They passed the puck more and generated quality scoring chances. Even though Warman didn’t advance to the provincial final, Guenther believes that the youth still had fun playing hockey and they will learn from this experience. Martensville are matched up against Swift Current in the provincial final. Pearce said that it will be a close series.

Premier headed to Iowa to promote importance of Canada-U.S. Trade relations Premier Brad Wall is travelling to Iowa this week to promote the critical importance of Canada’s and Saskatchewan’s trade relationship with the United States. Wall will visit Des Moines, the state capital, on Wednesday March 15 to take part in a “Canada Day at the Capitol” program organized by the Consulate General of Canada in Minneapolis. The trip comes as a result of discussions with Prime Minister Trudeau. Wall offered Saskatchewan’s assistance in engaging with the United States at the national and state level. The Prime Minister asked the Premier to represent Canada in Iowa, along with Andrew Leslie, Parliamentary Secretary to the federal Minister of Foreign Affairs (Canada-U.S. Relations). “Canada and the United States have forged one the most successful economic partnerships the world has ever seen,” Wall said. “Millions of families on both sides of the borders benefit from trade. Now, more than ever, we need to actively promote the advantages of trade and point out the dangers of protectionism. We must be vigilant in protecting our shared prosperity.” During the trip, Wall will highlight the $1.4 trillion
trade and investment relationship between the two countries and speak to the value of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). His itinerary includes meetings with Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds and remarks to the Iowa Senate and House of Representatives. Wall will also participate in a roundtable discussion with state agricultural organizations and speak at an evening reception attended by 200 business, government and academic representatives. Canada is the United States’ largest customer, accounting for $266 billion U.S. worth of imports last year. Our country is the number one customer for 32 states, including Iowa, which shipped $3.4 billion U.S. worth of exports to Canada last year. An estimated 100,000 jobs in Iowa depend on trade and investment with Canada. Saskatchewan exporters shipped $355 million U.S. worth of goods to Iowa last year, primarily potash, oats, canola oil and live swine. Iowa in turn shipped $363 million U.S. worth of products, primarily agricultural equipment, to Saskatchewan
in 2016. “The United States is Saskatchewan’s largest export market and that economic relationship is critical to maintaining a strong Saskatchewan economy and contributing to the one in five Saskatchewan jobs that depend on international trade,” Wall said. “Missions like this one are important in nurturing relationships with key U.S. decision makers and reinforcing the mutual benefits that derive from trade, investment and co-operation.”

Bobcat proves its worth on farms, acreages By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca There aren’t many jobs around a farm or acreage that can’t be handled with a Bobcat. “It’s amazing the number of acreage owners and farmers that rely on their Bobcat to get all their dayto-day stuff done,” said Scott Gamwell, a sales specialist at Earthworks Equipment in Saskatoon. “You talk to someone now who has one, and they say, ‘I don’t know how I got things done without it.’ “It’s probably the most versatile piece of equipment you can own. It does everything from grading the yard to picking up garbage to clearing snow and everything in between. It’s almost indispensable.” Gamwell said both the Bobcat and Kubota equipment lines are constantly being improved to reflect the needs of industry. “Bobcat just launched its M2 series, which has some nice upgrades over the M series,” said Gamwell. “It has a reversing fan so you can easily clear out debris from the air intake; and now it now has factory-installed automatic ride control.” Gamwell knows his way around heavy equipment, having worked in the industry operating heavy
We’ll deliver to you. Call us - we’re happy to help!
Scott Gamwell, a sales specialist at Earthworks Equipment, says the Bobcat is a versatile piece of equipment for farmers and acreage owners equipment shortly after finishing high school. The 31-year-old family man, who was raised in Swift Current and Saskatoon, has years of experience operating heavy machinery in the oil patch. He joined the service department at Earthworks two years ago and last year took on a new role in the sales department. “My whole working background up to this point has been heavy equipment,” said Gamwell.
“Operating ‘dozers and graders and skid steers. I enjoyed the work in the oil patch, but I have to say I enjoy what I’m doing now a lot more. “When the opportunity came up at Earthworks, it was a great fit. I really wanted to spend more time with my wife and kids, and it’s nice to be working close to home full-time.” Earthworks Equipment is located in the BizHub industrial complex just off Highway 16 northwest of Saskatoon.

What goes into bovine bellies: a research and ag partnership By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Logan Leyenhorst is part of a new generation of dairy farmers in Saskatchewan who are bringing fresh ideas to the industry. He’s been around cows most of his life and now owns a quota share with his Dad, Albert Leyenhorst, at Alley Holsteins. While growing up on the farm, Logan’s early infatuation with tractors gave way to cows when he was 16. “I have a heart for animals. I love the cows,” he said. In fact every cow in the Alley Holstein’s barn has a name, which Logan can tell you. “Each animal is registered at a purebred association. I could tell you the whole family tree just because that’s my passion. I like the family lines, the breeding aspect of it.” It’s a passion that grew out of childhood experiences with 4-H, taking his favourite calf to shows and then still valuing that calf
as an old cow in the barn years later. “There’ a lot of fun stuff with shows and 4-H and that’s what spurred me into the dairy side.” Logan graduated from the U of S in 2014 with an Ag Business Diploma. He says the dairy industry in Saskatchewan is vibrant. “We’re seeing a lot of young people coming in, in that 20 to 30 or 35 age bracket that are taking over the farms, looking to be innovative, change technology on the farm and make it a more efficient set up.” That new generation is benefiting from ongoing feed research conducted by the University of Saskatchewan at the Canadian Feed Research Centre (CFRC) in North Battleford. The facility researches different feed stuffs that come from all sectors of grain agriculture and its byproducts, like wheat distillers grain, corn distillers grain, soybean meal, canola meal and other byproducts, to see if this
feed is good for animals, particularly for cattle. The industry has come a long way from the days when cows ate only grass. Logan says there’s very few farms left that use only grass to feed their cattle. For those few who do, it’s hard to remain competitive. Traditionally, cows were able to turn a poor quality feed, grass, into a high quality product for human consumption, milk. “For me the most important thing about the CFRC is that is provides a meeting ground for all sectors of agriculture. It takes the low valued byproducts from one industry and tries to make them work for other ag sectors,” said Logan. “Research has enabled us to use canola meal, a low value byproduct not suitable for human consumption, and turn it into a high quality product like yogurt or butter by feeding it to cows.” CONTINUED ON PAGE B15

Province seeking guidance on agriculture extension delivery Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart is inviting farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses to provide input on how the province currently delivers agriculture extension services. Agriculture extension services include the business information, advice and support provided by specialists in regional offices around the province and at extension events, the toll-free Agriculture Knowledge Centre phone line, and a variety of print and electronic publications. “Agriculture is the foundation of our province and we want to make sure we are providing the right services, in the right locations, using the best delivery options available,” Stewart said. “We are asking producers and industry how we can better serve them and how we can ensure our extension activities remain relevant and valuable.” The survey will help identify the current and future needs of farmers and ranchers and the most effective way to deliver services. Focus group discussions will also be hosted around the province to help identify what is working and possible gaps producers may be finding. “The agriculture industry is forever evolv-
ing and our extension activities need to be driving sustainable growth and ensuring our producers stay competitive in a global market,” Stewart said. “Through our consultations, we need the voice of those who access our services currently, as well as those who don’t, to ensure we move our extension activities in the right direction.” Information collected during the consultation
process will help determine how extension services should be delivered by the Ministry of Agriculture. The new delivery
model is expected to be in place when the next federal-provincial-territorial agriculture policy framework starts in April 2018.

Warman scientist heads up program to preserve livestock genetic diversity By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Improved technology is helping the world produce food more efficiently. But there is a downside. Increasing reliance on a relatively limited number of crop varieties and livestock species has triggered concerns about their vulnerability to diseases. For the past decade, a federally-funded research facility in Saskatoon has been collecting and preserving germplasm from both commercial and heritage livestock and poultry breeds. The Canadian Animal Genetic Resources (CAGR) program is a joint initiative of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and the University of Saskatchewan, to preserve the genetic diversity of Canadian livestock and poultry breeds, and to develop new techniques to conserve germplasm. The program has facilities at the College of Agriculture and Bioresources and at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Carl Lessard of Warman was appointed CAGR Curator in 2014 after being involved in the program for a number of years as a research scientist. He heads a three-person staff that also includes a field technician and a genetic analysis specialist. “Our mission is to preserve the genetic diversity of Canadian livestock and poultry,” said Lessard in an interview. “Why do we feel that’s important? Because we know that the agriculture industry is getting better at producing food, but one of the consequences of that trend is there is less interest in heritage breeds. “For example, the Hereford bovine breed was very popular in the 1950s and 1960s. But then the interest switched to the Angus breed, which is now dominant. “When that happened, we lost some diversity of our breeds.” Lessard said while heritage breeds are not as attractive commercially, their genetic material still needs to be preserved. A deep gene pool offers insurance against the emergence of new animal diseases. “There are a lot of animal diseases outside of Canada that are ravaging herds in some countries,” said Lessard. “These diseases are at the door of Canada. For example, currently we are free of bovine tuberculosis. But if tomorrow something happens, purebred producers would have to destroy their herds. That’s something we definitely can’t afford to have happen.” Lessard said if a disease breaks out, or if a livestock association finds they don’t have enough genetic material to keep up the health of the herd, they can utilize this program. “If we capture enough genetics, we could go back to an earlier breed that may

Curator of the Canadian Animal Genetic Resources (CAGR) program be more resistant to certain diseases,” he said. “This would protect the economy if something bad happens.” The CAGR also works to improve the competitiveness of the Canadian live-
stock and poultry industries through evaluating the status of domestic livestock genetic diversity. Lessard said the collection of genetic material from across the country can be a challenge. CAGR research scientists, including Lessard, physically collect genetic material from farms across the prairies and BC using the facility in Saskatoon as home base. The CAGR also has a fullyequipped mobile lab trailer in Ottawa that is used for collecting genetic material from farms in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. Lessard said the publicly-funded program is free to producers, and offers benefits to all sectors of the live CONTINUED ON PAGE B12

Preserving genetic diversity stock and poultry industries in Canada. “I have tremendous respect for farmers,” said Lessard. “They are scientists themselves, and they work extremely hard.” The CAGR works collaboratively with similar research institutions in the United States and Brazil. Lessard said Mexico will also eventually become a partner. “We are developing a data base that optimizes the preservation of genetic diversity throughout North and South America,” said Lessard. He said producers and the public are welcome to visit the CAGR program’s facility. The CAGR program relies on donations of germplasm and DNA from the livestock and poultry industries, veterinarians, animal breeders and producers, as well as Canadian universities and conservation agencies. Anyone wishing to participate and contribute to the conservation of Canada’s animal genetic resources is invited to contact Dr. Lessard at 306-291-7872 or by e-mail at carl.lessard@agr.gc.ca.
Countries come together to sustain food production By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Dr. Carl Lessard of Warman was one of four delegates representing Canada at the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture conference in Rome, Italy last month. The conference, held every two years, draws hundreds of delegates from 178 countries around the world. The Commission is a satellite organization of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). “This commission deals with all the problems related to the sustainability of the food production system,” said Lessard. “The overall goal is to eliminate hunger by adopting a common approach for all countries.” Lessard said the commission is a big forum where countries discuss issues and propose guidelines that can be agreed to by all participants. “It’s a huge challenge,” said Lessard. “Progress is slow because everything has to be very precise. Not only are there five official languages used at the forum, with all the nuances of phrasing and wording inherent in each language, but there are also political aspects that have to be taken into account. “We don’t want to have anything in there that would be detrimental to Canada’s interests.” Lessard said it was an honour to represent his country at the forum. “I’m new to the diplomacy game,” he said. “It’s all about negotiations and making sure Canada’s position is respected on the world stage.

Agricultural partnership It’s a mutually beneficial relationship. Farmers benefit from new research and also provide information and feedback to the U of S. Alley Holsteins has already taken information about calf health from a January meeting of farmers and the U of S in Warman and applied it to their practices. “Since that meeting we’ve already installed a better colostrum feeding protocol and we’re focusing more on calf gut health which will benefit them as they age.” Logan says the average Saskatchewan dairy farm has about 160 cows. The biggest has roughly 1,000 cows and the smallest has about 25. Saskatchewan has the largest herd size average in the
country. Alley Holsteins has 160 cows. “That old small 30-cow dairy isn’t the thing anymore. Now we look at how we can make these slightly bigger dairies more efficient. They’re more connected with communities because they require a lot of off-farm help.” The research makes cow health a priority. Farmers choose feed to promote the ‘gut health’ of cows. “The Feed Research Centre is as much about researching products that are beneficial to the health of cows as it is about production,” Logan said. “On our farm we work closely with a nutritionist and our cows’ health and well-being is most important to us.”
The Saskatchewan government offers a program to help people get into the dairy industry. The Dairy Entrant Assistance Program (DEAP) provides capital up front to help get the operation going. One reason Logan loves dairy farming is the opportunity it affords to be a steward of nature and the responsibilities that go with it. These days Logan enjoys watching his little daughter head out to the calf barn, grab a small handful of grain and feed it to a calf – a potential fourth-generation dairy farmer learning responsibility on the farm. He’s in it for the long haul. “Agriculture is more connected then meets the eye and the Feed Research Centre plays an extremely important part in building our agriculture community.”

Temple Grandin to speak at 4-H Centennial Gala By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca For 100 years, thousands of Saskatchewan 4-H youth have promised to put their head, heart, hands and health to work for the betterment of our world. It’s time to celebrate! On March 25, a Centennial Gala called ‘Back to our Roots’ at the Saskatoon Inn will trace the history of this organization through a century of change. Temple Grandin, renowned autism spokesperson and consultant to the livestock industry on animal behaviour will be the special guest speaker. “We are so excited to have Temple Grandin come,” said Jodi Schellenberg for 4-H Saskatchewan. Grandin is also a distinguished 4-H alumnus. “She will share thoughts on the agricultural industry and how it can improve the way it’s perceived, and the important of young people connecting to the world of agriculture.” A ‘Walk through History’ display will showcase information and historical items, and there will be a live auction as well as a silent auction. After dinner, gala attendees a leader’s social will have time for reminiscing and there’s a dance for members 18 and younger. The evening will also reveal three new Hall of Fame in-

John G. Rayner, the first director of the Boys and Girls’ Club, which was later named 4-H, stands with some members of the Rosthern 4-H Dairy Club in 1917 ductees. There are four prize draws. One is drawn the night of the gala and the other three will be drawn at Agribition at the end of the year. Schellenberg says anyone who either donates to the foundation or registers as an alumnus will be entered into the draws. Until sometime in the 50s, the club was called the Boys and Girls Club. John Rayner was appointed the first director of the Boys & Girls Club and remains important figure.
“Mr. Rayner’s simple vision that started 4-H has endured the test of time, making 4-H one of Saskatchewan’s most recognized and valued youth programs where nearly 3000 members continue to ‘Learn to do by doing’, every day.” The club focus has changed significantly since inception. “When 4-H first started it was very focused on agriculture – grains, cattle, horses and some home craft and gardening clubs - and hands-on learning, which we’re still focused
on,” said Schellenberg. “But now it has changed so much. There are more than 50 projects kids can choose from, things like astronomy geocaching, photography, cooking and more. It’s exciting for kids because they can pick whatever they like for a project to focus on throughout the year.” While the club remains proud of its rural roots, there are clubs starting up in major cities as well. “The first Saskatoon urban club CONTINUED ON PAGE B17

After a long absence, the 4-H Summer Camp program was brought back in 2016. Members from across the province gathered together at Big River Bible Camp for the camp, where they had the opportunity to try other projects offered through 4-H, such as archery.
Continued from page B16
4-H celebrating centennial was started up last fall. It’s an exciting multi-club with various different projects. A lot of the people who grew up on farms are coming into the cities now, having jobs in Saskatoon and Regina, and they’re looking for something to put their kids into like what they did as kids,” said Schellenberg. This year is a major milestone for 4-H Saskatchewan, marking a century of providing youth opportunities. “A lot of organizations don’t make it
to 100 years. It’s exciting to see that 4-H has grown and changed throughout
the years and its still important to so many people.”

Slightly below normal spring runoff expected in Valley region The Water Security Agency has released the March 2017 Spring Runoff Forecast and the majority of the province is looking at a near normal spring runoff with the exception of southeastern Saskatchewan and areas west of Hudson Bay where above normal flows are expected. The two areas of concern are in the extreme southeast corner of the province where above normal snowfall and wetter-than-normal fall moisture conditions are creating an above normal runoff potential. The heaviest snowpack is located below Rafferty and Alameda reservoirs and near the Manitoba border. This is also an area that was wetter than normal at freeze-up in 2016. Unless conditions are favourable leading up to and during the spring melt, well above normal flows are expected. The recent snowstorm last week will add slightly to these areas but not have a major impact. While out-ofchannel flows are expected, significant flood damages are not expected unless conditions significantly change leading up to and/or during the spring melt. The other area of concern is the Red Deer River Basin located southwest of Hudson Bay. Well above normal moisture conditions in the fall of 2016 combined with a near normal snowpack is expected to result in above normal flows on the Red Deer River. Much of the province experienced well above seasonal temperature episodes in January and February resulting in snowmelt and runoff in February. The area south of Biggar and west of Avonlea saw the complete melt of the snowpack in mid-February. Snowmelt runoff is either

Emergency Cell 306.232.7375 completed or nearing completion within this area. With a mountain snowpack that is currently near normal, conditions are expected to be near normal throughout the Saskatchewan River System over the next six months, assuming normal conditions going forward. While Lake Diefenbaker is currently at an above normal level for this time of year, it will be re-
turned to near normal levels prior to the end of May. While below normal or near normal runoff has been observed or is expected over a large portion of the province, most water supply reservoirs were at or above normal levels in the fall of 2016. Consequently, surface water supplies across the province are expected to be adequate in 2017. Reservoirs which were below normal levels
in 2016, namely Nickel Lake and Boundary Reservoir, are expected to be replenished by snowmelt runoff. Water Security Agency will continue to monitor the 2017 spring runoff conditions across Saskatchewan, which may include further targeted snow surveys to verify snow accumulations. If warranted, further updates will be issued as the spring runoff progresses.
