Dr. Robert Henry is the featured speaker at a public meeting in Martensville on Thursday, May 18 the first place, because when you start peeling back their narratives, there is a lot of trauma and violence and other factors that come into play.”

Henry said putting gang members in prison is a form of short-term punishment, but it’s not a long-term solution because it reinforces the culture of violence.

“We have to understand as a society that we can’t arrest our way out of this,” he said. “Prison entrenches the gang mentality. We have to find positive ways to prevent violence and intervene to support individuals who are trying to get out of the gang

life.”

Henry said there are many misconceptions about Indigenous street gangs, including the notion that once you’re a member, you’re in it for life.

“The majority of individuals are only in a street gang for a relatively short period of time,” he said. “You see people involved in a risky ‘street lifestyle’ for extended periods of time, but there’s a difference between a street lifestyle and being a member of a street gang. Just because you live that lifestyle doesn’t mean you’re automatically in a gang.”

He said gangs have “feeder groups” that cultivate recruits from the younger generation. Youth that fit the mold of what gang leaders are looking for are selected for membership. But, he noted, people are always leaving gangs as well.

“If you’re leaving for reasons that aren’t detrimental to the gang itself, like ratting them out or jumping to another gang, then you can do it,” said Henry. “I’m not trying to say it’s not violent, because it is. But if you’re respected in the gang and you’re leaving because you found a full-time job or you want to be a better father, that’s different.”

Henry said the majority of individuals who end up

Healthy communities key to preventing Indigenous street gang violence

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The most effective way to reduce street gang violence is by tackling the root causes of poverty and social injustice, according to Dr. Robert Henry, an assistant professor at the University of Calgary.

Henry, who is of Metis ancestry and originally from Prince Albert, is the guest speaker at a public meeting in Martensville hosted by the Valley West Community Justice Committee on Thursday, May 18. Henry will outline the findings and objectives of his research on Indigenous Street Gangs.

In an interview last week, Henry said his goal is to help individuals leave the violence associated with street gangs behind and build healthier, constructive lives in society. In order to do that, he noted, it’s important to know what led those individuals to end up in street gangs.

“I do research with Indigenous street gang members who are trying to leave that lifestyle,” said Henry. “I ask them about their life experiences, their family relationships and memories of school, child welfare and social services. I’m interested in finding out what drove these individuals to become involved in gangs in

in Indigenous street gangs are looking for three things: respect, power and money.

They have limited opportunities, often experienced tremendous trauma in their lives, and don’t have access to healthy support systems.

“So they turn to unhealthy supports to try to numb their pain,” said Henry. “They find in the gang a sort of family and they gain a sense of self-worth through that association.”

Henry said “restorative justice” initiatives along the lines of the Valley West Community Justice Committee are part of the longterm solution. Restorative justice involves bringing the offender and victim together in face-to-face dialogue in an effort to heal the trauma and damage.

“Restorative justice is about building relationships to create a healthy community,” said Henry. “It has to be based on respect, relevance, reciprocity and responsibility.”

Smile: your teeth are showing!

Kids learn about dental hygiene during National Dental Hygienist Week, part of Oral Health Month

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Going to the dentist doesn’t have to be scary. It can be fun. That’s what 23 Grade 3 and 4 students discovered during a field trip to a Saskatoon dental office.

The kids processed through six stations in groups of two and got an up-close, hands-on experience.

“They had a chance to use the air water syringe, the suction and polish the teeth, said dental hygienist, Nicole Pingert. “They really seemed to enjoy that.”

In fact, the most common comment from the kids after the field trip was “this was a lot of fun,” Pingert said. Last year’s group was a preschool class adjacent to the South Corman Park School (SCPS). Being a tad older, this year’s class from SCPS was able to process more information with a greater degree of complexity.

A new station added this year was dental diseases. Pingert says, after the kids heard about the diseases, almost all of them said, “I’ve gotta brush and floss,” afterward.

Talking about oral hygiene naturally leads to a discussion of food choices.

“These guys are at an age where they can recognize they shouldn’t eat this food out of a package when an apple is sitting right there.

They see the importance of making healthier food choices,” Pingert said.

Making future trips to the dentist less intimidating and more fun was just one goal of the field trip. Another was to help kids become more aware of their mouth.

Besides the dental diseases station, the kids stopped at five other stations: brushing, snack attack, ride the dental chair, be a dental hygienist and tooth talk.

The visit was designed to raise awareness about dental hygiene and celebrate National Dental Hygienist Week. It reinforces good oral health practices and helps everyone understand the role and importance of the dental hygiene profession.

This kind of exposure may well trigger interest in the dental profession for some kids.

“I definitely saw some glimmers in a few students who were really intense on making sure they did a good job,” said Pingert. There may be some future dentists or hygienists among them.

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Tiny Houses may be about to take off in the Saskatoon area.

Membership in the Saskatoon Tiny House (STH) Facebook group recently tripled in about a month.

It’s a trend that has swept across North America in recent years.

The lifestyle has broad appeal.

The STH group launched about three years ago with monthly meetings just to have conversations. The group has grown from a strong core of 14 to 16 people in recent months. “The hype is there, the news is out. We had about 44 people at our last gathering so it’s growing exponentially,” said Crys-

tal Bueckert, coordinator for the group.

They bring in speakers or hear from tiny house owners or simply brainstorm. Now the group has reached a critical juncture. They are ready to move from talk to action.

Bueckert says the group is passionate and almost all of them want to live in a tiny house, so why not get going.

There’s a lot of ground to cover, from surveying their members, to talking to municipalities about bylaws, to approaching developers about their interest. Preliminary information gathering revealed how much members can spend,

Tiny House group takes steps to new community what size of tiny house they want, whether they want it on wheels or a foundation (about 50/50), and what amenities they are looking for.

“We’ll take that information and do an Expression of Interest (or an RFP) to developers and start like that,” said Bueckert. “There’s a lot of people who want to help us out which is pretty exciting, and there’s a lot of different pieces of land all over Saskatoon or just outside of Saskatoon so there’s choices.”

The group shares the values of many other tiny house groups. It’s a lifestyle choice. “It’s definitely an affordable housing project. Tiny

houses are pretty inexpensive and these people don’t want to spend money on a mortgage.” They imagine a more transient lifestyle with disposable income for traveling There’s a saying, “Your house is the place you store your stuff while you go out and buy more stuff.” It’s a favourite of Bueckert’s and it’s what the group stands against. Those values are shared by others. There’s quite a crossover between the tiny house group and the Saskatoon Minimalists group. “It’s about just living with what you need.”

“Everyone wants the strong outdoor connection. A lot of people want to spend most of their time

outside. They’re not thinking of their home as a place to sit in and spend time in necessarily. They want to have amenities and a park and a common house and fire pit.

It’s more about being outside of your home.”

Many prefer an urban development because “the city is their amenity.” They want to eat fresh.

They don’t need space for a huge pantry or a freezer because they want to buy their food every day.

The Saskatoon Tiny House group ranges in age from 20 to 60.

There’s a lot of singles and couples but there’s families of four or CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Oath ceremony marks start of new term for Beardy’s Okemasis council

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The newly-elected Chief and Council of the Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nation are looking to build a future rooted in the community’s positive cultural traditions.

On Saturday, April 15, Roy Petit, the new Chief of the community near Duck Lake, signed the oath of office following a traditional headdress ceremony that included prayers by elders and the burning of sweetgrass.

This was the first time in many years a ceremony of this type had been held in the community. Aimed at highlighting First Nations’ democratic traditions, the solemn and moving ceremony featured a “seek and find” dance by two scouts who sought out Petit as the individual chosen to lead the community.

“We don’t do this as a show,” said Petit in his acceptance speech after donning the leader’s headdress.

“We do this to revive our culture.

“Our culture is what saved me when I was on a dark road, and brought me to where I am today. I’m grateful for this opportunity and grateful to the community for putting me in this position. I know you have faith that I can make change.”

Petit said he stands behind the entire council. “We’re a team of people working for the same purpose,” he said.

“We want to make our community better for everyone.

We want to move forward together as a community, like our ancestors did.”

Petit said he wanted a traditional ceremony. “That was important to me,” he said. “I don’t take this position lightly, and I told my wife and family that I wouldn’t wear a headdress unless it was done in a proper way. A headdress is something that has to be earned.”

The new council also includes Edwin Ananas, Jeremy Seeseequasis, Jackie Gamble, Leighanne Gardipy-Bill, Tyrone Smallchild and Kevin Seeseequasis.

Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) Chief Bobby Cameron and FSIN Senator John Charles Thomas of Beardy’s & Okemasis presented the chief and councillors with treaty medals.

In an interview following the signing of the oath of office, Petit said he felt “honoured and humbled” to be chosen as chief after serving the past three years as a councillor. He said he’s hoping that other First Nations in Saskatchewan revive traditional ceremonies along the same lines.

“It was a good experience, and I’m hoping this will be a seed for other nations to start doing that as well,” he said.

FSIN Chief Cameron said the oath of office ceremony shows that democracy at the grassroots level is alive and well.

“It signifies that we are treaty territory,” said Cameron. “The leadership of Beardy’s and Okemasis have all undertaken that oath of office to pledge allegiance to the promotion and implementation of inherent treaty rights, and to represent their people.”

Cameron, of the Witchekan Lake First Nation, has family ties to Beardy’s & Okemasis, where his late father was originally from.

Cameron said the community has shown leadership in the recent treaty annuity lawsuit, which was finalized after a 20-year process.

“That paves the way for other nations who are looking to settle their treaty annuity lawsuits as well,” said Cameron. “The work that the chief and council are going to be doing here in the next little while is pretty significant. They’re thinking 10, 20 and 30 years ahead by investing the funds into economic development, health and education initiatives.”

Cameron praised the Beardy’s & Okemasis council’s adoption of a bylaw obliging the chief and councillors to undertake drug tests.

“It sends a good message,” said Cameron. “Showing that kind of leadership is crucial now at a time when we are losing so many of our people to alcohol and drugs. The message is that we are healthy and we will heal together and we will improve the quality of life here for band members.”

Cameron said he’s optimistic that initiatives taken

by First Nations like Beardy’s & Okemasis and Whitecap, south of Saskatoon, will serve as models for other communities across the province and country.

“It’s about improving the quality of life for our people,” said Cameron. “At a time when many First Nations are struggling with a massive shortage of housing, economic development is part of that solution.”

Cameron said he’s encouraged by the number of younger people elected to First Nations councils across the province.

“Our fastest-growing demographic is youth,” he said. “A lot of them are voting age and they’re saying, we’re going to vote people in there who will speak for us and do the right thing.”

Water bills set to increase

pact on programs and services, the extent of any cuts is not clear at this time.

“Nothing has been decided at this point,” said Tooley.

“However, Wheatland has assured us that the operating grants will be changing for the coming year as a result of the decrease in funding from the province.”

Tooley said he agrees with the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) characterization of the cuts to libraries as a form of “downloading” costs onto municipalities.

“It’s a good way of look-

ing at it,” he said. “The cost of operating a library isn’t going down, and if funding from the province declines, then libraries are going to have to look to municipalities for funding options.”

Tooley said he feels it’s important for all communities to have viable libraries, and noted that the Warman library is a good example of efficiency because it serves both the public and the middle school in a single location.“MLAs have pointed to Warman as being an example of a good partnership,” said Tooley.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Martensville residents will be paying more for water in the coming months.

The increase is due to a 9.5 per cent hike in the price of treated water that SaskWater purchases from the City of Saskatoon. The price will increase a further 9.25 per cent in 2018.

Martensville residents aren’t the only ones facing higher water rates. Every community served by SaskWater pipelines in the area, including Warman, Osler, Dalmeny, Langham, Hepburn and Hague, is seeing an identical increase.

Rural water utilities are also subject to the same price hike.

The cities and towns are passing the rate increase on to residents.

A bylaw authorizing a 9.5 per cent increase in water rates, beginning in May, 2017 is slated to come before Martensville city council at its May 2 meeting.

Currently, the rate per cubic meter of water in Martensville is $2.6944. With the increase it will rise to $2.9504 per cubic meter.

Next year it will rise again to $3.2233 per cubic meter.

Notice of the impending rate increase was brought to council’s attention at the April 11 Committee of the Whole meeting.

was a first step in meaningful consultation and further discussion with the provincial government,” said SUMA Vice-President of Villages, Mike Strachan. “But less than two days later, be-

fore we could bring forward any suggestions, Minister Harpauer issued a press release. The decision to cap the payments in lieu cuts — but only for nine out of 109 hometowns and only at

30 per cent of their revenue sharing amount — came out of nowhere for us.”

“Our members are angry about provincial cuts and downloading,” SUMA President Gordon Barnhart said.

Joe Klassen and Shailish Pancheil took advantage of summer-like weather on Wednesday, April 12 to work on the new dugouts for the softball diamonds at Kinsmen Park in Martensville. H2 Construction is the contractor responsible

for building the eight dugouts for the four-diamond complex. The work began in late March and is expected to be completed shortly after Easter, just in time for the new softball season.

Petition opposes library funding cuts

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A petition calling on the provincial government to restore funding to libraries is gathering steam.

The petition notes the provincial government cut $3.5 million in funding for regional libraries, and eliminated funding for civic libraries in Saskatoon and Regina.

The petition, organized by a group calling itself “Save Sask Libraries”, is available at the Warman branch of the Wheatland Regional Library.

Warman City Council was asked by supporters of the petition to have copies of the petition available at Warman City Hall and the Legends Centre in addition to the local library. However, councillors weren’t prepared to go that far.

Warman Deputy Mayor Gary Philipchuk said he felt the library was the only appropriate place for the petition, noting it is available to library patrons, who are most likely to express an opinion on the issue.

Warman city councillor Kevin Tooley, who is coun-

cil’s representative on the local library board, said he agrees with that point of view.

“I think the library is the most beneficial place for the petition to be available,” said Tooley in an interview after the April 10 city council meeting. “That’s typically where any residents of Warman that utilize the library would have the biggest opportunity to sign it.

It’s open extended hours that city hall doesn’t have.”

Tooley said while the reduced funding from the province will have an im-

Building permits rebound in cities

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca If the current pace of construction of single family detached homes in Martensville keeps up, the community could surpass last year’s totals.

Statistics released by the city’s Planning and Infrastructure Department show that from January 1 to March 31, 2017, Martensville issued building permits for 22 single family and 10 multi-family residences. The total value so far for building permits, which also includes 26 residential additions and one commercial building, is $5,650,648.

Last year, in 2016. Martensville saw 47 new single family homes and 113 new multi-family dwellings built.

The total value of all building permits for the year was $32,942,090.

In Warman, the pace of construction is starting to pick up after a slower start this spring.

Between January 1 and

April 3, 2017, the city issued 13 single and multi-family dwelling permits and 6 commercial building permits. A further 41 residential addition or renovation permits were also issued during that period for an overall total of 60 permits.

The overall value of building permits issued so far in 2017 in Warman is $5,335,400.

Last year, there were 77 building permits issued during the period January 1 to April 3, 2016. This included 19 single and multifamily dwellings and three commercial building permits.

The total value for those permits was $6,731,300.

For the entire year of 2016, Warman saw a total of 72 single and multi-family homes and 17 commercial buildings take shape.

There were also 248 permits for residential additions and renovations. The total value of all building permits in Warman in 2016 was $28,463,608.

New homes are taking shape in the newest area of the Legends neighbourhood in Warman (top) and in the Lake Vista neighbourhood in Martensville

Tiny House group establishing new community Continued from page 3 five too. About half want a tiny house on a foundation and the other half want it on wheels.

The challenge now is where to make their home.

“Right now you could build a tiny house on a foundation in Saskatoon no problem. There’s no bylaw about minimum size so you could build a 96 square foot house if you wanted to,” Bueckert said.

But current bylaws in Saskatoon and Regina do not allow for dwellings on wheels, whether that’s mobile homes or tiny houses.

The group is looking at a few options for land development. “They could subdivide into small lots or they could do a bare land condo which means you own your building but not the property, or they could do what they do in Waskesui where its a 99year lease.”

Bueckert says there’s also the possibility of doing a rezoning of a piece of land or a zoning by agreement process where they write up

their own zone based on the mobile home zoning.

Neither of the planning departments in Warman and Martensville have received a request for tiny house accommodation.

Both would have to open a conversation about the kinds of considerations and bylaws changes needed with potential applicants.

The RM of Corman Park has been approached by at least one group about potential development of this sort.

“We have asked them to put together a proposal of what they would be wanting in order to determine what would have to happen to make it work,” said administrator Adam Tittemore.

Parcel ownership, servicing and building codes are some of the areas for consideration.

Some movement is being made in the International Tiny House Community.

“The International Code Council has now accepted a proposal for tiny house building codes, which means that basically gets rid of all of the barriers peo-

The proud parents of three-month old Justine Robson, along with Justine’s big brother Joel, paid a visit to the Warman Fire Hall on Monday, April 10. The visit marked the three-month anniversary of Justine’s birth. The baby was born at home when it became clear her mom wasn’t going to be able to make it to the hospital in time. Warman firefighters Bob and Yvonne Fenner were the first to arrive at the Robson home in Warman about 5:00 a.m. on January 13, in response to the 911 call. The parents presented the fire department with a small fire hydrant inscribed with the baby’s name and birthdate as a token of their appreciation.

Use caution when doing controlled burns: Fire Chief

THREE MONTHS LATER...

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Grassfires could be a serious issue this spring, according to Warman Fire Chief Russ Austin.

“Langham has had a couple grassfires already this year,” said Austin in a recent interview. “Delisle has had two, Asquith has had two and Aberdeen has had one as well.

“It’s definitely going to be an early season for grassfires. I expect we’ll see more this week.”

The Saskatoon Fire Department also responded to a serious grassfire in Corman Park south of Saskatoon last week.

Controlled burns are a fact of life in agricultural areas where farmers need to burn stubble, particularly flax, noted Austin. The problem is that sometimes those controlled burns get away from the landowner.

“When you combine strong winds, along with dry conditions on the surface of a field and very wet or muddy conditions just below that, it becomes harder to control.”

Austin said even with specially-equipped ATVs and bush trucks, fire departments have difficulty fight-

ing grassfires in sloughs.

“Three years ago, we had a fire that went right across the cattails of a slough,” he said. “It was right on the west edge of Warman, and very close to a bunch of houses.”

Austin said when a situation like that happens on agricultural land adjacent to city boundaries, firefighters will rely on a defensive strategy aimed at protecting the high-value structures.

“We’re going to do whatever we can to protect any homeowners’ property, whether it’s in the city or in the rural municipality, but it’s a question of using resources wisely.

“Rather than chasing the fire into the slough it makes more sense to protect the high-value structures and let the brush and cattails in the slough burn itself out while keeping it contained.”

CONTROLLED BURN LINE

Austin said landowners need to contact the provincial controlled burn line at 1-866-404-4911 to register their controlled burn. This will avoid calling out firefighters unnecessarily.

“By calling in their controlled burn, it’s registered

on the provincial 911 system,” said Austin.

He said in addition to being a legal requirement, calling in a controlled burn is also necessary for insurance purposes.

“If they phone in their burn, and there is no fire ban in place in their RM, then they’ll be covered,” said Austin. “Otherwise, if they don’t call in and their fire gets away from them, they’ll be liable for a minimum of $871 per hour for fire protection costs.

“And if you start a fire and it goes onto your neighbour’s property and burns anything of value there, then you might be liable because your insurance doesn’t cover it.”

Austin advised landowners to insure their property for more than the $1,000 minimum.

“A thousand dollars doesn’t cover very much,” he said.

He advised landowners who do controlled burns to take precautions. “Don’t do it on a windy day,” he said.

“Even if it’s not windy in the morning, check the forecast because the wind could easily pick up during the day.”

Saskatoon firefighters battle stubborn rural grass fire Saskatoon Fire Department crews wrapped up operations at 10:30 pm the evening of Tuesday, April 11, after struggling with a difficult grass fire just south of Saskatoon. The fire was initially reported at 2:50 p.m., through 911, as a vehicle fire. The fire had quickly spread beyond the vehicles before fire crews arrived on scene.

A total of six apparatus were required as well as thirty firefighters rotated throughout the incident.

Difficult terrain, including mud and inaccessible areas, along with dry conditions, increased the problems of accessing, containing, and extinguishing the fire. Fortunately the wind was a minor contributor during this incident.

Crews worked hard to en-

A grassfire south of Saskatoon was difficult to extinguish because it was in an inaccessible location sure the fire was contained to an area where minimal damage could occur. No structures were exposed

and there were no injuries reported. The cause is not known at this time and no damage estimate available.

Community papers stay true to their roots

COMMENTARY

By DOUG FIRBY Publisher, Troy Media In the many thousands of words that have been written about the collapse of Canadian daily newspapers, there is a parallel good news story that has been untold.

There are places in Canada in which newspaper circulation is actually stable or growing, and where reader loyalty is as strong as it has ever been. Places where people still pick up the paper and read it front to back to find out what’s going on in their community.

These places, as you might have guessed, are not Canada’s mid-sized to large cities, where the spectacular decline of local print media has created an appalling news vacuum.

Rather, it is in community newspapers that serve the hundreds of small towns that form the heartland of the country.

It is no easy ride, but community newspapers enjoy relative stability in comparison to their bigger cousins. One Ontario paper I recently encountered claims a circulation penetration rate of 89 per cent - meaning nine out of 10 households in its circulation area buy and read the paper. Those kind of numbers were seldom matched by daily newspapers even at the height of their popularity.

Community newspapers have held true for a number of reasons. Unlike other media, these newspapers tell stories about their communities - stories you can’t find on a news wire. Readers cannot find their mix of local news, events, sports and advertising anywhere else.

Readers often feel a personal connection, or sense of ownership, with their community newspaper. If they don’t like a story, they can call up and complain. Editors and owners belong to the same social clubs, churches and hockey leagues as their customers.

Local businesses, in turn, view community newspapers as the best bet for effectively reaching consumers in these small markets. Their markets are “captive” - i.e., generally too small for the big guys to try to move in.

Corporations have made inroads in some smaller communities, especially in the Golden Horseshoe area between Toronto and Niagara Falls. Yet those efforts have brought mixed success, at best, and in some cases total failure (leading to the closure of some small papers).

Their cost-saving tactics are often what doom them to failure. Companies try to recover the cost of purchasing a small paper by cutting staff. There are cases, in fact, in which the only reporter left at a “local” paper doesn’t even live in the community the paper represents.

This is a fatal tactic - especially in communities where the personal connection is everything. In the little Southern Ontario town of Petrolia, for example, the community was so disgusted by what has happened to its local paper under company ownership that local advertisers supported the emergence of an independent competitor. When a corporate paper puts virtually nothing into a community (and yet expects to take our profits through advertising revenue), it’s not really that hard to provide a better product.

All of this is not to say small papers have an easy ride.

This past weekend, publishers, editors and business managers from Ontario’s community papers gathered in Toronto for its annual conference. They spoke of the many worries that cloud the crystal ball: ongoing trouble attracting national advertisers, the difficulty in retaining talented young staff who get richer offers from bigger markets, and adapting to the digital age in which a solid web presence and social media strategy are an essential part of the mix.

There will be papers, no doubt, that will give up the fight and fold, as some have. Yet for those who stay, strive to adapt and keep their eye on the ball, it’s hard to imagine a future without a community newspaper in some form.

They will survive because nobody else is going to tell the stories they do - about local births and deaths, local heroes and hooligans, the wise and foolish decisions of the local council and prospects for the minor hockey teams. The heartland has shown, time and again, that they will support a local news source that lives and breathes small town Canadian life.

It makes you wonder whether, in that sense at least, the small towns of Canada are so much different from the big ones. The stories that impact us most, whether in Corner Brook, Nfld., or Vancouver, B.C., are the ones about our neighbours.

Beware the cheap apology HILARY KLASSEN Lifestyle Files

Perhaps you heard the latest apology from Sean Spicer. The White House press secretary, was forced to make amends last week for his latest ‘woops’ moment when he was criticized for excusing Hitler.

He is certainly not the only public figure to find himself in this position. In today’s social media world, the faux pas of our leaders are outed fairly regularly.

Apologies are necessary in society. They are the lubricant in relationships and workplaces. We need them to smooth out the rough places. We all make mistakes and when we do, we need to own up.

In Canada, we are ahead of the game. We are a nation of apologizers. Here, apologies aren’t cheap, they’re free and frequent.

We say sorry for each little near mishap as we navigate crowds. We continue to be the polite nation, apologizing for things that often need no apology. It’s part of our charm. Our boy, Justin Bieber captured this reality in his pop song, “Sorry.”

People in public office and others in positions of trust have a greater responsibility to maintain that trust.

When they mess up, we need to know their apologies aren’t just publicity stunts and that they’re more than just words. Celebrities increasingly find themselves in the same position.

Sometimes apology analysts get involved. They try to determine which apologies are sincere and genuine and which are bogus, simple

play-acting, posturing for the public, just words.

If only they could intervene and offer their insights when the cheapest apologies are spoken. Cheap apologies are the standard currency of batterers in situations of domestic violence. The battering cycle has a tension building phase, an acute battering episode and a honeymoon phase.

During the tension building phase, the spouse (and any children) instinctively walk on eggshells, trying not to trigger a battering episode.

But of course, they cannot prevent it. It is bound to happen. After the episode, the batterer typically feels ashamed for the outbreak and apologizes, sometimes with tears for his or her behaviour.

These are ultimately cheap apologies because they do not lead to any

change in behaviour. They are simply words calculated to restore the trust of the victim. The victim wants to believe. How dare they not believe the abuser has changed? And so the cycle continues.

These apologies are both cheap and very costly. Lives are at risk. Domestic violence doesn’t typically deescalate, it builds, it gets worse. Victims who decide to end the relationship and leave are especially at risk.

Cycles of abuse are identifiable. Saskatchewan has a big problem with domestic violence. We need to help young girls and boys understand the cycle and what fuels it. We need to educate so young men and women can break generational patterns and head into relationships with eyes wide open.

I’m sorry to have to say this, but, beware the cheap apology.

She’s just in her second full year with the Bridge City Bruisers junior roller derby team out of Saskatoon and she already has a

chance to compete in a tournament that features the best athletes in the sport.

Raina will be participating in the Big O in Eugene, Oregon on May 5 to 7. It’s an international roller derby tournament and athletes from around the world will be competing in the event.

Teams from, Argentina, Australia, Finland, Sweden, New Zealand, among oth-

er clubs within the United States and Canada will be participating in the event.

The tournament features both men’s and ladies teams along with a junior division, which Raina will be competing in.

She will be playing with the Gapland Rollers out of Rocanville as that is an elite junior roller derby team.

stabilize blood sugar more than any ready-to-eat cereal. A stable blood sugar helps to stabilize mood.

Lunch and Dinner: A healthy meal that is based upon the Mediterranean Diet could include lentils as a first course, then risotto with grilled shrimp and veggies, followed by melon for dessert. Even a glass of red wine, as well as water, could accompany the meal. Might be a good idea to save the bulk of your carbohydrates for the evening meal so that the sedative effect of a high-carb meal aids in a better nights’ sleep. Build meals around whole grains like brown rice and black quinoa as these can boost serotonin. Protein from plants and animal sources provide amino acids that act as neurotransmitters and keep the mind alert. Folate, found in beans, leafy veggies, oranges, tomatoes, most produce and fortified grains and cereal, can improve serotonin levels.

Omega-3-rich fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, lake trout and halibut, can be safely enjoyed once or twice a week. Canola and olive oil can provide healthy types of fat which is typically included in the Mediterranean Diet. snacks: A handful of nuts help to keep blood sugar levels stable between meals. other snacks are perfect such as, apples, oranges, bananas, pears and baby carrots.

Beverages: Always drink water to keep hydrated; even mild dehydration can have mood dampening effects. vitamins & minerals: Vitamin D should be taken on a regular basis as this helps with bone and heart health. getting enough magnesium has also been shown to help individuals who are sound sensitive.

Avoid: Alcohol as this is a depressant, if you choose to partake, moderation is the key. Eating red meat has been linked to an increased risk of developing depression. Sweets, chocolate, etc. provide short bursts of energy and mood lifting experiences but when that ends your mood drops like a stone and your blood sugar levels go out of sinc.

Raina continues to improve in roller derby

MACKENZIE HIENTZ | CLARKS CROSSING GAZETTE

Raina enjoys learning new skills from her teamates and coaches Continued from page 9 “I’m very socially awkward, I don’t know how to talk to other people,” Raina said.

After Raina joined the sport it didn’t take too long for her to advance through the levels. Level one and two are for the beginner skaters who still need to work on their skating skills.

Level three is for the experienced and more skilled skaters.

“She (Raina) jumped from one to three basically in the first six months she was here because it was natural,” Janice said.

Janice also believes that roller derby has a positive effect on Raina as well. “(It’s) a really good com-

munity ... and it’s just a really neat community. There’s such a wide spread backgrounds of people here,” Janice said.

“You probably wouldn’t have met or be friends with (people) away from here. It’s just a really cool community,” Janice said.

Even though it took a while for Raina to learn certain skills, Janice believes it fits Raina’s lifestyle.

“She’s always been a sporty girl. She played tackle football ... she’s in hockey and she played baseball and basketball, and all the school sports,” Janice said.

“It just fits in with just who she is. She’s not just a little wilting, little flower type of a girl, so she’s always been very active.”

When Raina competes in a roller derby game she usually is the jammer.

“I’m the one that gets hit a lot but I’ve been trying to be a blocker more because a jammer is only good as the blocker,” Raina said.

“The jammers are the ones getting the points, and the blockers are trying to stop that from happening.”

One skill that Raina said she has learned but needs to get better at to become a better blocker is booty blocking.

front of people and jumping ... it’s a big thing, I have a friend on my team that’s amazing at that,” Raina said.

Another key technique in roller derby that you need to learn is footwork.

“I need to learn about being more balanced. I need to learn more about that because new skates, old skates, all skates, anything, it’s really hard to balance on them,” Raina said.

“Especially if you’re used to something else. I’m used to hockey skates and switching (skates) ... it’s kind of hard trying to maintain balance between those.”

An important aspect of roller derby is communication and Raina said she has really picked up on that since joining the sport.

“They taught me how to communicate (in the sport).

They yell at you ... ‘you need to speak up,’ then you speak up. They’re basically like your critics. So they’ll help you because they see everything. They’re either sitting off the track or they’re on (the track) with you.” Raina said.

The Saskatoon ladies teams and the junior team come to the Legends Centre usually once during the season to play some games.

That is a great way to showcase the sport in Warman and generate some interest, as Raina is the only youth from the community participating in the sport.

“It would be nice to have more people from my town to come (play the sport) because ... I only see (my teammates) twice every week,” Raina said.

Raina is 15 years old and she has a few more years

of competing in the junior league, as youth 8-18 play on the junior team.

Once she ages out of that division, she said she wants to play in the ladies division

as they’re are four teams in Saskatoon.

“It’s definitely ... one of those things you wouldn’t normally do ... (and) it’s a good experience.”

Report from the

Legislature

Nancy Heppner MLA

MARTENSVILLE-WARMAN CONSTITUENCY

Assisting Victims of Domestic Violence Last week, the Saskatchewan Party government introduced and passed legislation to support individuals fleeing interpersonal violence and families of victims of crime.

The Victims of Interpersonal Violence Act and The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 were amended to allow a tenant to end a fixed-term rental agreement with 28 days’ notice if they or their family members are being abused by another resident or former resident.

The Act will also provide the ability to establish an electronic registry of protection orders. Such a registry would assist police and other service providers in knowing instantly whether a particular person has been found to be at risk.

The amendments provide a way out for someone living in a violent domestic situation. Rental lease agreements should never factor into an abused individual’s decision to leave, and these amendments remove that from being a potential obstacle. Some other Canadian jurisdictions, including Alberta, already have similar legislation.

The Victims of Crime Act, 1995 was also amended to expand compensation for counselling costs to include parents, siblings, and adult children of adult victims who have died as a result of violent crime.

This will ensure that victims of violent crime and their family members receive the support they need.

Through the program, victims are eligible for reimbursement for numerous expenses including medical services, counselling costs, or loss of earnings. This is crucial following a traumatic event. The legislation previously limited compensation for counselling to the spouse or children of an adult victim and the parent or sibling of a child victim.

Saskatchewan has the highest rate of domestic violence in Canada, and your government will continue to explore options to help address this serious issue.

RMs feeling budget impact Over the last week, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) has been trying to understand the full ramifications that the 2017 Provincial Budget will have on rural municipalities (RM) and residents, but some unanswered questions remain.

Since October 2016, SARM proactively met with the Ministers of Agriculture, Highways and Infrastructure, Environment, Government Relations, Finance, Justice, Health, and Rural and Remote Health to advocate for rural interests in the months and weeks preceding the budget. Following the release of the budget, SARM has met with Minister Duncan, Minister Morgan, Minister Moe and Minister Stewart.

Several budget decisions will negatively impact agricultural producers.

Changes to the education property tax will have a large impact on property owners. Orb cited the phase-out of the Saskatchewan Pastures Program, the demise of the Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC), and the reduction in the Municipal Roads for the Economy Program.

“The SARM Board of Directors will continue to meet with Ministers and senior officials to advocate for rural residents and is seek information from ministries on aspects of the budget that are unclear,” said President Orb.

Waldheim Museum offers trip back in time

Iona Greene (left) and Anna Penz (left photo) share a laugh while listening to a rendition of “Darling Nellie Gray” on a vintage gramophone at the Waldheim Museum. (Right photo) Household artifacts fill one of the rooms in the museum.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Sixty-five years ago, the train station in Waldheim was a busy place. Every Tuesday and Friday, passengers, freight, mail, cream cans and assorted livestock all vied for space on the cars that pulled up to the platform behind the hissing steam locomotives.

The echo of those years can still be heard at the Waldheim Museum, housed in the former train station, one of only three in Canada still on its original foundation and in its original location.

“The building is the biggest artifact in our collection,” said Iona Greene, who along with fellow Waldheim resident Anna Penz, volunteer countless hours keeping the community-owned museum running.

“It was largely restored in the 1980s, and it’s in very good shape, considering its age. It’s the perfect place for showcasing our community’s history.”

The station, built in 1912, is actually Waldheim’s second; the first was a two-room shanty built in 1908 alongside the newly-laid racks. The 36-mile spur line that branched north from Dalmeny was actually built a year before the provincial legislation authorizing its construction was passed, according to the Waldheim community history book. The Carlton branch line which served the community for decades, was abandoned in 1976 and the tracks torn up in 1992, but a 50-meter section of the original steel and rail bed by the museum serves as a reminder of those glory days.

Anna recalled riding the train to the end of the line at Carlton when she was 10 years old.

“There wasn’t a lot of entertainment in those days,” said Anna. “We made our own. It was a great thrill for me, my sister and a friend to have a ride on the train, even if it was only to Carlton. We never went all the way to Saskatoon. It was actually a little scary, with all that smoke and noise. It made a big impression on me, anyway.”

While the four elevators that once dominated the town’s skyline are long gone, their place is now taken by Sam

Wendland Park, a beautiful community gathering place with trees, benches and walking paths. The museum is nestled beside the park.

But the real attractions are inside. They range from gramophones to paintings by artists who were early residents of Waldheim, a stuffed moosehead and a typewriter with separate keys for both upper and lower case letters that belonged to John Funk, a town and RM councillor in the early 1900s.

Each room in the former train station, which also served as the home of the station agent’s family, features artifacts in common use in the area during the early days of the community. While most of the items were donated by local people, others found their way into the museum in a more roundabout way.

The museum got its start in the 1970s when former Waldheim town administrator Phil Ratzlaff purchased items at auctions on behalf of the town for the museum, which occupied the four bedrooms on the upper floor. The town’s library took up the main floor. When the library relocated to its own building recently, the museum was finally able to display its artifacts in an uncluttered environment.

One of the exhibits chronicles the Waldheim World Series,

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

a massive snowmobile racing event hosted by the community and the Waldheim Snow Jammers club that ran from 1971 to 1983. At its height in 1982, the event attracted thousands of spectators and pulled in hundreds of competitors from as far as away as Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ontario and British Columbia. With over $25,000 in prize money, the stakes were high and a local Saskatoon television station broadcast some of the races live.

“It was a big event,” said Anna. “It took every living, breathing soul in the district to make it happen. One local farmer slaughtered a couple hogs and we served sausage on a bun from a truck. It was a good time.”

Liability issues and safety concerns eventually forced the cancellation of the event, but the glory days live on in a display that includes photos, programs, and a video.

For Anna and Iona, the heart of the museum lies not just in the artifacts, but in the stories of the people who donated a piece of their heritage for the benefit of future generations.

“We have a photo on a wall of an old ball team,” said Iona.

“One youngster likes to bring his friends in so he can point to the picture and say proudly: ‘that’s my grandpa!’ We enjoy our young visitors, our older visitors and all in between.”

Badge, Shield and Star Citizen awards The five Rotary Clubs of Saskatoon in partnership with the Saskatoon Police Service, Saskatoon Fire Department, and MD Ambulance Care, announced the Badge, Shield, and Star Citizen Awards. Tracy Muggli, Dean Brooman, Diane Newton, Jeff Kenney, Gerald Lashyn, Lori Carter, David Piche, and Scott Bell were recognized at the 2017 Badge Shield & Star Dinner the evening of Wednesday, April 12 at Prairieland Park.

Tracy Muggli, Director of Mental Health and Addiction Services with the Saskatoon Health Region, will be presented with this year’s Badge Award. In this role, she has been a valuable partner to the SPS. Most recently, she played a vital role in establishing the Police and Crisis Team (PACT), which is an important client-centered approach to assisting with persons experiencing a mental

health crisis. The program is the first of its kind in Saskatchewan. Tracy was also instrumental in securing Health’s participation in establishing the Paramedic Program in Detention, which assists in providing medical care for all arrests brought into the SPS Detention Centre at night.

The Saskatoon Fire Department’s FIRE Cadet Program is a success thanks to the support received from the Saskatoon Public Schools and the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools.

The Shield Award winners, Dean Brooman, Diane Newton, Jeff Kenney, Gerald Lashyn and Lori Carter, have put the support from these school boards into action.

Several years ago, Dean Brooman, who also serves as Martensville Deputy Fire Chief, suggested that the Saskatoon Fire Department should have a pro-

gram that gave high school aged students an opportunity to experience what a career in firefighting might involve. The idea was shaped, support was garnered and a pilot Fire Introduction Recruitment Experience (FIRE) Cadet program ran in 2015. The now annual program includes three training sessions per week over the course of an eightweek period and provides the Cadets with handson opportunities to learn a range of firefighting and emergency services skills including CPR accreditation, vehicle extrication, operation of hoses and hydrants, use of ladders and aerial apparatus, search and rescue, water rescue and forcible entry.

This year MD Ambulance will be recognized Scott Bell and David Piche for their efforts in saving the life of a 47-year-old female who went into cardiac arrest.

Practical Nursing program provides accessible option

The Practical Nursing program at Great Plains College Biggar Program Centre has recently welcomed

14 Practical Nursing students to the community and awarded the group with a total of $7,000 in Entrance

Scholarships.

“Many of the students taking Practical Nursing are from out of town and have

found that the Biggar program is an accessible option for them to complete their diploma. Through our Entrance Scholarship program we hope to help make it more affordable as well,” said Cindy Keith, Great Plains College program co-

ordinator.

“The added bonus for our students is their high postsecondary success rate, exposure to rural health care dynamics and many of the benefits associated with smaller class sizes,” she added. Out of the 14 students

Education Act amendments introduced Spring storm creates

Deputy Premier and Education Minister Don Morgan introduced Bill No.63, The Education Amendment Act, 2017 for first reading in the Saskatchewan Legislature on Wednesday, April 5.

The amendments are in response to findings from the Advisory Panel on Education Governance Renewal.

These amendments are a result of public and education sector feedback received during the review consultations. The panel met with more than 45 stakeholders groups and heard from residents through more than 3,800 online submissions.

“We heard strong support for maintaining elected trustees and we listened,” Morgan said. “We also heard a clear need to ensure school divisions are being as efficient and effective as possible with

the resources that are available.”

The amendments to The Education Act, 1995 (the Act) will result in shifts in governance intended to allow for the implementation of a sector purchasing and services initiative to achieve efficiencies in the areas of transportation, bulk purchasing and having a common salary grid for senior school division administrators; standardizing board member costs; reinforcing the value of school community councils as a vital part of school division governance; and providing the Minister with oversight on student success targets and financial decisions.

Numerous sections pertaining to the boards of education duties, powers, and responsibilities as well as school divisions administrative matters have been repealed from the Act and will be moved

into regulations which will be drafted with input from the education sector.

“During the consultation process, the people of Saskatchewan voiced their support for some changes to the way that school divisions are governed to build capacity and consistency,” Educational Governance Advisory Panel Chair Ray Morrison said. “We are pleased that the government is moving forward with changes based on the feedback received.”

Liam Choo-Foo, Director of Education for Chinook School Division, has been seconded by the Ministry of Education to lead the implementation of these changes across the province in a process that will include representation from education sector partners.

These amendments will be in place for the 2017-18 school year.

northwest flood issues

The Water Security Agency is advising the public in northwestern Saskatchewan of the potential for minor flooding issues resulting from the recent spring storm event.

A major spring storm brought snow and rain to a large area of Central and Northern Saskatchewan late last week.

Upwards of 70-75 mm of total precipitation may have occurred over areas between Waterhen and Dore lakes with much of Meadow Lake Provincial Park and surrounding areas receiving in excess of 60 mm.

With temperatures forecasted to warm up later this week, there is the potential for rapid melt and

high streamflows to occur within these regions. This may result in some out of channel flows and the potential for roadways to be overtopped.

While widespread flooding is not expected, the public is urged to use caution near fast moving water and to avoid driving through moving water. This will also translate into higher flows within the Churchill River System over the coming weeks.

WSA will continue to monitor the 2017 spring runoff conditions across Saskatchewan. Further updates will be issued as the spring runoff progresses. For more stream flows and lake levels information visit www.wsask.ca.

Campaign launched for Todd family Casey Todd - a husband and father from Warman, SK, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer which he has been fighting tirelessly with chemotherapy and radiation, which have unfortunately not proven effective enough to tackle this disease.

Casey and his wife Luanne have both taken time off work, and their income has been reduced. To add on top of this stress, the upcoming immunotherapy treatment Casey is considering may not be covered by his government health plan or by their insurance provider.

A family friend started a GoFundMe campaign in the hopes of raising enough funds to alleviate

Casey and Luanne Todd and family of Warman any financial stress Casey and his family are experiencing during this difficult time. The Saskatchewan community has come together to show their support for Casey,

raising more than $14,700 in one day to go towards the cause.

Here’s a link to the GoFundMe campaign: https://www.gofundme. com/casey-todd-family

PSSD hosts music conference Prairie Spirit School Division hosted the third annual Resonate Student Music Conference at the Salvation Army Camp at Beaver Creek last week.

The conference was designed to encourage students in grades 7 through 12 to become more engaged in music.

“Our goal is to engage students in music learning and musical skill development,” said Kendra Worman, Music Support Facilitator for Prairie Spirit School Division.

“As a result, we hope our students will be more engaged in school and will contribute to the growth and development of music education around the province.”

Because the conference is designed for students and offers a wide variety of musical genres, it is a unique event in the province, she added.

The conference offered students the opportunity to choose their sessions from a variety of options, based on their musical interests.

These sessions were presented by music industry professionals and were designed for students with a range of ability and knowledge.

Session topics included: song writing, guitar, drumming, music recording technology, instrument repair, hip hop, and many others.

Some of the presenters provided keynote performances and stories from their musical careers.
