Martensville firefighters (left to right) Bruce Romanow, Heidi Huziek, Brendan Clancy and Jason Matheson are spearheading the Martensville Fire Department’s helmet safety program come to them.

“These are big trucks,” said Clancy, “and sometimes it’s hard to see the kids if they come darting out. We’ll come to them. We also try and stress that during the annual Buster Days parade. Don’t get too close to the truck.” The same is true when fire trucks are at the scene of a motor vehicle accident or fire.

“We’re not giving out coupons for slushies when we’re dealing with an emergency situation,” said Clancy.

Romanow said statistics show helmets are effective in reducing injuries as long as they are fitted and worn properly.

He added that while kids should wear their helmets all the time when cycling or skateboarding, the firefighters will only be patrolling the streets on Wednesday evenings.

“We want everyone to know that we are easily identifiable by our uniforms and fire trucks,” said Romanow.

Warman firefighters are also kicking off their annu-

al helmet safety program, which has been operating for many years and is designed along the same lines, according to Warman Fire Chief Russ Austin.

“We started our program this week, and we’ll wrap things up with a draw for prizes including bikes, scooters and helmets when school resumes in September,” said Austin in an interview on Thursday, May 4.

Warman firefighter Ken Goebel is heading up the department’s helmet safety program this year.

Warman Fire Rescue also sponsors an annual “bike rodeo” to give kids a grounding in the rules of the road, as well as ensure their helmets fit properly and their bikes are in good mechanical condition.

Austin said this year, the bike rodeo is slated for Wednesday, May 17.

“We put about 800 kids through their paces on that day,” said Austin. “This will be our fourth year for the bike rodeo.”

Austin said the program has made a differ-

‘Be safe, wear a bike helmet,’ say firefighters

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Firefighters in Martensville and Warman are urging youngsters to play it safe when riding their bikes, scooters and skateboards.

“It’s a good idea to always wear a bike helmet,” said Martensville firefighter Bruce Romanow, who is heading up a helmet safety program with colleagues Heidi Huziek, Brendan Clancy and Jason Matheson.

“They really do make a difference in reducing head injuries.”

The Martensville Fire Department (MFD) program officially kicks off on Wednesday, May 10 and concludes on Wednesday, June 28. During those six weeks, uniformed MFD members will be patrolling the city’s streets in marked fire trucks. When they spot children wearing helmets while cycling, skateboarding or roller-blading, they’ll present them with coupons for slushies from local businesses. When the kids redeem the coupons, their name is entered in a draw for $200 worth of cycling-related merchandise at the local Canadian Tire store.

The program in Martensville is a priority for the MFD this spring, said firefighter Brendan Clancy.

“Bruce has done a great job getting the program back on track and reaching out to the community and getting people on board,” said Clancy. “Above all, it’s a great way to teach kids about safety.”

In addition to wearing a helmet, kids should always walk their bikes across the street and look both ways before stepping off the curb.

Clancy added that children should not approach the fire truck, but instead, should wait for the firefighters to

“We have had at least one collision every year for the last four years between bikes and vehicles,” said Austin. “Fortunately, in every one of those cases, the child was wearing a helmet.

And in most of those cases, it wasn’t the child’s fault.”

Austin estimates that about 50 per cent of kids are wearing bike helmets at the start of the program. But by the end of the summer, about 95 per cent of youngsters have protective headgear on.

This year, Warman Fire Rescue is also sponsoring a sticker design competition at the local elementary and middle schools. The winning design will go on a sticker the fire department will have printed, which they’ll then distribute to kids to put on their bikes and skateboards.

Osler student lands ag scholarship from Ministry

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca High school will soon be history for Rachael Enns, which means some bigger questions have captured her attention of late - like what to do next. Career paths up for consideration were options like a physician or a psychiatrist.

It wasn’t long, however, before her farm background began to stake some claims on her future. Her family moved from their acreage to her grandparents farm when she was about five or six.

She learned to love it.

“I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot growing up there and loved having the open space,” said Enns.

The family moved into Osler about five years ago. “I didn’t want to move. I’m the youngest and all my siblings were milking the cows. I wanted to start doing the same thing, taking after them.”

Three of her uncles now run Enns Farms Ltd. and Rachael works there part-time. She settled on pursuing a career in agriculture over a year ago. Once that decision was made, she asked one of those uncles to help refine her scholarship application to the Ministry of Agriculture.

Out of about 45 applications, one was awarded a $4,000 scholarship, and Enns was one of three runners up who each received a $2,000 scholarship. “I’m totally fine with $2,000,” she said. “I was really happy about that.”

For the scholarship, the ministry asked students to submit an essay or video discussing how food gets from the farm to your plate.

Enns wrote out a script and then

switched to video format.

“I knew that I could explain that well enough with a video and have some examples. Lots of my video is based on how dairy farming has changed throughout the years, and how I want to keep continuing to

make the positive changes.”

The video demonstrates how their milking parlor has changed and been upgraded and how cows are raised with the best nurture and care. A lot of her focus was on animal care and how important it

is for animal health, which then leads to higher milk production.

“They really enjoyed my passion for animal care, they could really tell. With my future studies, I said I wanted to look at housing, nutrition and breeding, and Minister

The Crown Corp presented a progress update to RM of Corman Park councillors on a proposed natural gas pipeline route at an RM Planning Committee meeting on May 8.

TransGas has now proposed a total of six different possible routes for the approximately 60-kilometre pipeline, which is to extend from Vanscoy to Prudhomme on its eastern end, in response to residents’ concerns.

Over a couple dozen residents at-

tended the meeting and encouraged TransGas to choose routes five or six. Costs for routes 1 to 4 range from $60 to $65 million.

Route 5 runs further south and comes in at $70 million but avoids many of the issues associated the previous four.

Wallace Hamm from Moon Lake said he was impacted “all over the place” by routes 1 to 4 as well as a proposed alignment south of Merrill Hills. He said a ‘zero impact’ group met on April 29 at the Log

Cabin and agreed unanimously that routes 1 to 4 should be abandoned by TransGas. “This is the most sensitive area in the Saskatoon region. It’s organic land and absolutely the worst place to run a pipeline,” said Hamm. He asked the RM to allow them to make a similar presentation to argue why Routes 5 and 6 are much more logical choices than the others. He also asked them to pass a resolution asking TransGas to reject routes 1 to 4.

Stewart said that was important for me to study,” Enns said.

Another thing Enns is passionate about is countering what she sees as misconceptions about the dairy industry found online.

“There’s been a really negative sense around animal care and dairy farmers specifically, on the internet lately saying that farmers don’t care. That really bothers me., she said. “I want people to understand that farmers truly do care and they do their best to keep the animals healthy.”

Enns has attended Valley Christian Academy for all of her grade school years and now she’s keen to spread her wings. “I’m very excited! With only two months left till graduation, I’m getting a little restless. I’m looking forward to this new step of moving out and having a little bit of independence.” She has an apartment across from the University of Saskatchewan.

The scholarships could be used at any school in Saskatchewan, but Enns says all four of the scholarship winners will be attending the U of S. She has received conditional acceptance to attend. “I’m super excited about university because I’ll be learning about things I actually enjoy and care about.”

Enns is pursuing a four-year degree in agriculture focusing on farm animal science, particularly large animals. In the back of her mind is the idea of getting in veterinary medicine, if things go well.

She encourages other students to seek a career in agriculture as well. “With a career in agriculture, you’re helping all of Saskatchewan grow. There’s a lot of different things you can get into.”

Humans have rights too, not just beavers Group appeals to TransGas regarding pipeline route

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Trying to get a pipeline route finalized across a river, country acreages, organic farms and a conservation area has proven more difficult than first imagined by TransGas, SaskEnergy’s legs on the ground for energy delivery.

“We are human beings and we have rights as well as the beavers - we also need habitat. This is our habitat,” said Hamm. Route 5 would entail an additional $8 million if compared with routes 3 and 4. Route 6 takes a much more southern path and adds $40 million to the cost.

WMBEXA Business of the Year

Businesses honoured at event

By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca It was a packed house at the Northridge Centennial Community Centre in Martensville on Friday, May 5, with many people coming out to support local businesses during the second annual Warman and Martensville Businesss Excellence Awards (WMBEXA), as Martensville Plumbing earned top honours as Business of the Year.

There were four other awards handed out.

Warman Physiotherapy and Wellness earned the New Business Award, the Customer Service Award was presented to The Ultrasound Centre, Warman Small Animal Hospital was acknowledged for community involvement and the Marketing Award went to Firebird Business Consulting Ltd. The event was organized by both the Warman Chamber of Commerce and the Martensville Chamber of Commerce.

Warman Chamber of Commerce executive director Jaimie Malmgren was really impressed with the turnout and how the event came together overall.

ly couldn’t of done without all of the sponsors, the contributors and the guests.

It’s really great to see all of the businesses come together and support this, so we’re really proud to be able to initiate that,” she said.

Malmgren said there were 100 more people at this year’s event compared to last year, which she was happy to see. One of the unique aspects of this event is that it’s two cites coming together to recognize the local businesses in their respective communities.

“Our motto at the Warman Chamber is “together we make it better” and ... I think this event goes to show that when you work together you really can pull off a fantastic evening and we’re really proud of the collaboration with the Martensville Chamber on this.

Usually two cites don’t host an awards event together but since a lot of people in Warman and Martensville use the businesses in both communities on a regular basis it just makes sense to have an event like this one.

“People do a lot of business between Martensville and Warman and why not bring the communities together and celebrate. We hope that we can continue to offer this and the communities ... and the business CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

communities will embrace this in many years to come,” Malmgren said This is only the second year that both cities had an event where they recognize the business community and Malmgren believes that it is important to give the businesses some recognition.

“A lot of businesses ... they’re afraid to kind of step into the lime light and say ’look what I’ve done,’ but we look at it at a different angle. You should be proud of your accomplishments and lets get together and lets celebrate each others achievements because being in business is hard and this is a great way to just celebrate being entrepreneurs, celebrate being a business owner, and celebrate having a business in both of our communities,” Malmgren said.

There is a lot of preparation that goes into organizing an event like this as Malmgren said they started the planning stages last November so it can become a success.

Since this event is cohosted by both cites of Warman and Martensville the location alternates from year-to-year as next year it will be in Warman.

Pig trial clogs justice system

COMMENTARY

The acquittal of a woman who gave pigs in a truck headed for slaughter some water, raises some troubling questions about the justice system in Canada.

Anita Krajnc was cleared of mischief charges last Thursday in the Milton, Ontario case. The judge was satisfied that Krajnc had in fact given the pigs water and not something harmful, and that she did not interfere with the truck’s movement or attempt to change the outcome for the pigs.

Her actions were calculated to appear caring, and possibly they were. But if her goal was actually to hydrate animals, then providing a bit of water from a single small water bottle to a few pigs in a load of about 190 did not achieve that.

Her goal went beyond appearances. Krajnc is a known animal rights activist. Her gesture was strategically timed to draw attention to her cause. She is the cofounder of the group, Toronto Pig Save. The fact that she was charged with mischief in June 2015 served her cause very well.

On second glance, her actions look more like a publicity stunt. It’s one thing to take your message and your placards to the streets. It’s another thing to use the judicial system to gain publicity. That’s exploitation.

Krajnc says the law needs to recognize pigs and all animals as persons, instead of giving them the degrading status of property.

The law is a long way from recognizing animals as persons, and giving a few parched pigs in a large semi-trailer a few drops of water isn’t going to be the tipping point. The law is perhaps closer to giving animals certain rights that humans have to protect them from abuse.

If Krajnc viewed those pigs as people, she may have seen the injustice of providing water to the few versus the many.

The real ‘miscarriage of justice’ here was tying up the courts for a mainly frivolous case like this, especially when serious court delays are being denounced in various parts of Canada.

In Saskatchewan, the courts are considering eliminating preliminary hearings in all but the most serious cases to help address court delays. In some parts of Canada, suspects have been released and charges dropped because of extensive delays.

In Quebec, a murder charge was recently stayed due to the long delay in bringing the case to trial.

The fact that this pig case would take close to two years to reach resolution is sad in itself. Multiply that by any number of similar cases in the system and you get a sense of the problem. These cases clog up the system unnecessarily.

If it was your child that had been murdered and the murderer got off because of delays in the system, what sort of priorities would you like to see the court system establish?

Krajnc’s case may have needed 15 minutes in the courts, not two years. She said her acquittal proves compassion is not a crime. Compassion was not on trial here. What was on trial, indirectly, was the Canadian judicial system, which may be guilty of indulgence.

The real ‘crime’ was burning through days of court time and public resources in an already overburdened system.

Loonies replaced dollar bills thirty years ago Three decades ago, on June 30, 1987, the federal government turned 80 million loonies loose on an unsuspecting nation.

The $1 coins, featuring the common loon on one side and the Queen on the other, were designed to replace the paper dollar bills of the day.

Canadians take them for granted now, but back then, the bulky, 11-sided coins were anything but welcome.

The squawks of protest from the general public were loud and immediate. The loonie was almost as unpopular as bilingualism and the metric system. Most Canadians would have been quite content to keep the dollar bill.

They considered the $1 coin to be a crazy idea. That, coupled with a whole series of political and administrative gaffes leading up to its release by the Royal Canadian mint, all contributed to the coin’s nickname.

The loonie was introduced ostensibly as a cost-saving measure. Coins have an average life-span of about 20 years, while the old paper bills wore out after about

nine months. The federal government calculated it could save taxpayers $175 million to $250 million over 20 years.

Was it worth it? Considering the 2017 federal deficit now stands at $28.5 billion, the saving on the switch from paper to coin was pretty much negligible.

You can hardly blame Canadians for wanting to stick to paper money.

The loon, so named because of its clumsy, awkward appearance when walking on land, was apparently chosen as a fitting symbol of Canada. Never mind that it’s actually the state bird of Minnesota.

For two years, Canadians grumbled about having their pockets loaded down with big clunky one-dollar coins. In retaliation, they stubbornly hung on to their

NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS

If you or someone you know has been involved in an event you think is newsworthy, please include your name and contact information (either a daytime telephone number and/or email address). Please send the information in a timely manner following the event and remember to include as much pertinent information as possible, including WHO was involved, WHAT was the event, WHEN and WHERE the event occurred and WHY the event was significant.

PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPS

All the information that goes with a news story should also accompany photo(s) as above. Include the names of all the people in each photo and identify from left to right and from back to front. Set your camera to the highest resolution possible. The more resolution, the better the final outcome of the photo in print. Don’t be shy! Get close to your subject(s). Most photos taken with a builtin zoom lens extended will capture “grainy” images that do not reproduce well. Attempt to get dynamic photos of something happening instead of just a quick snapshot.

“Presentation” photos typically don’t work well if there are too many people side-by-side in the frame. If there are up to four people in the photo, have them as close together as possible and, if more than four, have the front row seated and the back row standing. Remember taking a picture facing into the sun or bright light will produce poor quality images.

folding money. The government put a stop to that in 1989 when it quit printing dollar bills altogether.

It took a few more years for the $300 million in one-dollar bills to eventually go out of circulation.

The first issue of the loonie in 1987 was so unpopular that hardly anybody bothered to save any of the new coins when they first appeared. Ironically, an uncirculated 1987 loonie in mint condition is now a valuable collectors’ item.

There’s been a whole flock of commemorative, specialedition loonies launched over the years. In fact, a total of 19 different versions of the coin ranging from UN Peacekeepers to the Saskatchewan Roughriders were released. There was even one depicting a Tufted Puffin and another with a Snowy Owl. After all the fuss surrounding the introduction of the loonie, the appearance of the $2 coin, the “Toonie”, during the winter of 1995-96 created hardly a ripple of protest. Maybe

that stems from the fact that the $2 bill had a shady history in the west. Legend has it that during the early days of prairie settlement, $2 bills were used to pay prostitutes.

It was therefore considered rude to give one to a woman as change.

The toonie’s low-key, protest-free introduction might also have been due to the coin’s novel appearance: nobody had ever had any experience before with two-tone currency. Other countries, however, were well-acquainted with the style. Not long after the toonie first came out, some smart person with questionable ethics imported a whole whack of Greek coins that looked like toonies and were about the same size and weight.

The Greek coins, however, were worth about half a cent Canadian. The Greek coins turned up everywhere until Canadians finally wised up and started checking their change a little closer.

These days, of course, the concept of money itself is going out of style. People just use their smartphones.

Ukrainian Dance rains medals for Warman school

Performances ran back to back at and were close to sell-out.

“Pavlychenko performed for us again as well, and people think that’s quite the treat.

There were 31 dances performed. “It was pure entertainment,” she said.

Stokalko didn’t see much of it because her 15-year-old daughter Alexyn danced 11 times and Mom was helping daughter in and out of costumes. Her youngest daughter Bianca performed three times.

To become skilled at Ukrainian dance, you just have to want to do it, Stokalko says.

“A lot of our best dancers are not Ukrainian.

Many represent quite a range of cultural backgrounds, yet they love and embrace Ukrainian

of those in Warman. “The club would have closed if we had stayed in Saskatoon because we lost our hall. It was going to be sold and torn down.” Other options in Saskatoon were quite limited, Stokalko said.

SSUD celebrated its 30th anniversary at the Brian King Centre and will be back for their 35th on November 18. Stokalko hints it will be a big event, and will likely feature another show by SSUD and possibly PFE. The club is growing and will be running its first summer camp for two days in August. They hope to have an instructor from Ukraine, and others as well, all to be confirmed.

Groups from Hafford, Wakaw, Aberdeen, Saskatoon, North Battleford and Cudworth have signaled interested in the camp.

SSUD will also be offering workshops on paska (braided bread), pysankas, (Ukrainian eggs), and more during National Culture Days at the end of September.

dance.”

Although the regular season is over, SSUD has upcoming performances at a seniors home and the Saskatoon Vesna Festival. After that, they’ll be in a couple of community parades in Warman and Osler.

Stokalko said Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance has become like a family. “The dads have ‘dance dad’ shirts.

They’re so involved and so proud of their kids.”

The club opened up a sponsorship opportunity for costumes this year for the first ime. “We ordered close to $10,000 worth of costumes from Ukraine. It helps the economy there. We want authentic, and we get it. The kids just love dancing in bright colourful costumes. They have a whole new atmosphere when they’re on stage with that.”

This year, the club is celebrating 35 years, the last three

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance (SSUD) just wrapped up their best season ever, if their performances in several recent competitions are any indication.

“This was definitely our highest medal standing year!” said president Brenda Stokalko, who had a look back at records from the club. “Its pretty cool to look back and see that.”

The club participated in the North Battleford Svoboda Festival, the Lloydminster Ukrainian Dancing on the Border festival, and the Saskatoon Pavlychenko Folklorique Ensemble (PFE) Dance Showcase festival. PFE was founded

by Lusia Pavlychenko who brought Ukrainian dance to Saskatchewan.

“We got mostly gold medals and a couple of silvers, so that’s pretty cool,” said Stokalko. For the first time, Sonia’s club was asked to perform in the Pavlychenko evening showcase.

“The showcase is open to the public and it’s normally a very big honour if you get chosen out of hundreds to perform.” It was doubly sweet because that group got an award for their Transcarpathian Female Senior Group. The Bukovynian Female Small Group dance was awarded a scholarship in North Battleford.

Traditional Ukrainian dances tell the stories of different regions of Ukraine, keeping the culture alive through regional customs and costumes. “Everything is very symbolic,” said Stokalko. “The Hopak is the most famous. Considered the national dance of Ukraine, it has the long ribbons, large flowered headpieces, and the men that jump and leap very high.”

SSUD held its own end-of-season recital on April 29 at the Warman Legends Centre Theatre. The club has 58 dancers ranging from tiny three-year-olds to some in their 50s. “They rocked it!” said Stokalko.

TOP LEFT: Stunning costumes and beautiful dances were on display at Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance recital in Warman recently. Alaina and Mackenzie Urquhart were two of many area performers to receive gold medals ABOVE: Megan Engendahl, Isaiah Krahn and Alexyn Stokalko took gold for their Central Mixed Trio.

Martensville residential tax hike averages 2.2 %

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The average homeowner in Martensville will see a 2.2 per cent hike in the municipal portion of their property taxes this year.

That translates into an annual increase of about $48.35 for the average residential property, according to a fact sheet issued by the City of Martensville following adoption of the city’s 2017 budget by city council at a meeting on Tuesday, May 2.

The city’s $16 million balanced budget includes a number of major capital projects.

At the May 2 council meeting, council voted to keep the municipal base tax for residential property at $615, the same amount as last year. However, the municipal base tax for commercial property was increased by $300 to $915 for 2017.

The city residential mill rate was set at 4.90 for 2017, a reduction from 6.26 mills in 2016.

The city commercial mill rate for 2017 is 5.70, a reduction from 8.91 mills in 2016.

The commercial mill rate factor was reduced to 1.1625 in 2017 from 1.4229 in 2016.

There are no changes to the city’s garbage and recycling fees ($180/year) or wastewater treatment levy ($75/year). However, a $25 annual levy has been instituted specifically for a new future recreation facility.

Martensville budget passed Continued from page 8 takes a “balanced approach” in managing the city’s future.

Martensville Corporate Services Director Leah Sullivan said the budget was finalized later than normal this year because of several factors, including changing assessment numbers due to property revaluation and reduced revenue streams due to provincial budget cuts.

Sullivan said the city administration was expecting final property assessment numbers from the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) in early February, but didn’t receive them until March.

“We did have preliminary assessment numbers from SAMA which were updated regularly, and we were working with those for our budget estimates,” said Sullivan. “We knew the city was looking at big increases

Martensville Director of Corporate Services Leah Sullivan in assessment, and we made adjustments to the mill rate to take that into account.”

Sullivan said the city administration and council determine projected revenues and expenses for the annual budget, and then calcu-

late the mill rates to achieve those targets.

Just because assessment numbers increase doesn’t necessarily translate into higher property taxes or increased revenue for the city, she said.

In a revaluation year like this one, higher assessments are expected. She said the city’s commercial assessment went up 164 per cent this year over last.

“That’s a big increase,” she said, adding the city absorbed much of that impact by reducing both the commercial mill rate and the mill rate factor. The city also raised the base tax for commercial property to make it more equitable for all businesses, regardless of assessment value.

To further complicate the issue, the province increased the taxable percentage of value for residential properties from 70 per cent in 2016 to 80 per cent in 2017.

In response, the city reduced its mill rate for resi-

dential properties this year to help cushion the impact of that assessment increase, said Sullivan.

Sullivan said despite the cuts to the grants-in-lieu program announced in the provincial budget in March, Martensville was not impacted to the extent of oth-

er municipalities because its increased population boosted its revenue-sharing grant from the province. Warman was in much the same situation, she added.

“When the provincial budget came out, there was initially a lot of confusion, so we had to wait and see how

9

that loss of funding for the SaskEnergy grant-in-lieu affected us,” she said. “For our city, it meant a reduction of about $100,000 a year.

But that was softened by the increase in our assessment numbers and also our population increase for the purpose of revenue-sharing.”

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS

WATER AND SEWER: The city has a reserve fund for a future waste water treatment facility that will be built in partnership with the City of Saskatoon. A $75 base tax levy for this project will continue.

POLICE AND FIRE: RCMP staffing levels will remain the same as in 2016 at 8 full-time officers for Martensville. Funding has been earmarked for a new automation system for the generator providing backup power to the fire hall. A new radio system is planned for the fire department. The Fire Department and Emergency Measures Organization are bringing back the Protective Services Fundraising Gala on October 21, 2017.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND PLANNING: An investment of $584,000 has been made for Phase 3 of the reconstruction of 4th Street South, which will be completed in 2017. A total of $960,000 is earmarked for paving Main Street from 10th Avenue North to 16th Avenue North.

RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES: A total of $500,000 has been set aside for Phase One of the Kinsmen Park Master Plan for work on pathways and lighting. Phase Two of the Kinsmen Park Master Plan will also begin with the start of construction of a skate park. The cost of the park is $750,000, of which $150,000 will be contributed through a fundraising effort spearheaded by the Syrenne family. Irrigation installed on ball diamonds adjacent to the Martensville Sports Centre.

Rose Leaf Park near the new schools will be completed with a multi-purpose sports field, turf and irrigation at a cost of $280,000. Mocon Baseball fields landscaping improvements and tree planting.

RM of Corman Park Police Report

Last week I spent a couple of days in Regina at the semi-annual Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police conference. This conference pulls together representation from all municipal police agencies, the RCMP and other justice related groups. Conferences like these are very important as they pull together police from across the province in a great spirit of cooperation to discuss provincial problems and coordinate efforts.

A significant topic of conversation was the new act legalizing marijuana that is expected to be in place July 1, 2018. This is going to have a huge impact on our communities. Much of the work on implementing the legislation is going to be left up to the provinces, and police in general are concerned about the impact this legislation will have on public safety on our roadways.

There is a still mountain of work to be done by both senior levels of government to make this happen.

Another subject of interest is the MMIW and Girls commission that is getting underway. It’s sometimes easy to think that this commission and its findings may not affect us - but it does and will. Over the years there have been several women murdered and their bodies left in the RM - and on the broader scale this has happened all across Canada.

Please take the opportunity to drive by the front of the Saskatoon Police Station on 25th St and look at the monument that has been recently unveiled and reflect on this issue.

Every police agency had the opportunity to speak at the round table discussion and every agency spoke on crime in their area and some of the statistics that go along with it. A couple of agencies spoke of the increase in crime involving weapons and the number of stolen vehicles. This should be a subject of concern for all of us so please report suspicious person and vehicles to the police.

Speaking of statistics – last month I mentioned road bans would be on for at least six weeks – and they are still on. In the first few weeks of bans we laid 22 charges for overweight trucks on our roads. When the roads are soft in spring large trucks can do consid-

erable damage.

Some other significant numbers: 164 speeding tickets with the highest speed of 183 km/ hr 26 Disobey stop sign 34 suspended drivers 57 unregistered vehicles 37 other traffic tickets We also responded to 103 other calls for service including suspicious persons/ vehicles, traffic concerns and accidents, animal complaints, seven fires – mostly control burns that got out of control, a number of arrests on outstanding warrants, and many assistance to the RCMP and public calls.

Many of you are aware that the MVA had their budget cut significantly this spring. As a result they have decided to make cutbacks and one cutback includes the maintenance of some of the parks in the RM like Fred Heal and Paradise Beach. This does not mean that the parks are closed – at least not at this time.

If you are attending these parks please be safe and leave the liquor behind. We and the RCMP are still making patrols to these areas.

Please check the RM website for fire bans before initiating any burn.

Pillar selected 14th overall in bantam draft

By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca Warman High student Josh Pillar was drafted 14th overall by the Kamloops Blazers during the Western Hockey League (WHL) Bantam Draft on Thursday, May 4 and he is excited for the opportunity to potentially play for a WHL team.

“It feels really good. I didn’t think I was going to get drafted as high as I did, and plus going to Kamloops it’s such a beautiful city,” he said.

The 5-foot-11, 150-pound centreman had a excellent season with the Sask Valley Bantam AA Vipers, racking up 54 points, with 18 goals and 36 assists, in 25 games.

This year’s draft took place in Calgary as Pillar was attending school when it was taking place.

“Before it (the draft) started I was at school. So I was in gym (class) and my teacher let me watch it for a little bit. But he didn’t let me do it when I was getting drafted, so I was kind of nervous.

Then as soon I got drafted my teacher told me ... and I was pretty happy about that,” Pillar said.

Being selected in the first round of the bantam draft is quite the accomplishment and Pillar believes that putting in the work throughout this past season played a huge part in being picked early.

“Working hard the whole season and having it turning out the way it did, and just getting drafted to Kamloops is really good.

And I think my team helped me so much just to prove

that I could play as good as I did throughout the season,” Pillar said.

Not only was he is elated to be drafted but he is also glad that the Blazers selected him as that is one of the teams he wanted to play for.

“I’ve heard lots of good things about the coaches, the city is really nice and I know lots of the kids that got drafted there last year,” Pillar said.

Going into the draft, Pillar had a feeling he was going to be picked in the first round but he thought it was going to be later in that round, so he was a little surprised to be selected 14th overall.

Pillar will be competing at the midget level this upcoming season as he said he’s pretty sure that he will be playing with the Prince Mintos of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA League. What he said he needs to work on before playing at the WHL level of hockey is his strength.

“I’m just going to have to work on my strength, that’ll be the biggest thing. Then also just keep working on my skating like I have, then just trying to get stronger,” Pillar said.

Pillar’s goal is to be playing for the Blazers as soon as he can, but he is also glad to have the opportunity to be playing in the midget AAA league as that will help him with his development.

“I think just playing with high calibre players is going to make me better and also just using their facility like the gym (will be great),” he

Josh Pillar was recently selected 14th overall in the 2017 WHL bantam draft, as played with Sask Valley Bantam AA Vipers the previous two hockey seasons said.

Being selected is definite-

ly a “high a note” in Pillar’s hockey career and his ad-

vice for youth who are going to be drafted next year is

“just embrace it because it’s really fun and exciting.”

Hawks win ball hockey tournament

By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Draft Ball Hockey Tournament from May 5 to 7 at the Dalmeny Arena featured a lot of hockey as the Hawks were the champions of the event, after a 4-2 victory over the leafs in the final.

What separates this tournament from others is the participants register individually and then are selected to a team.

On May 5 all the participants gathered and then the eight teams chose the players they wanted on their squad through a draft format.

The round-robin portion of the tournament was on May 6 as teams were divided into two pools. The Leafs, Red Wings, Rangers and Canadians made up pool A and pool B consisted of the Hawks, Bruins, Flyers and North Stars.

After the round-robin round, the Canadians were in first place in pool A with a 2-1 record and the Red Wings were in the second spot with that same record. The Rangers and Leafs both had 0-2-1 records, however the Rangers earned the third spot and the Leafs were the bottom team of

“Shoot from the Heart”

that pool.

Both the North Stars and Red Wings finished roundrobin play with 2-1 records, however the North Stars earned the top spot and the Red Wings were in second place of pool B. The Bruins had a 1-1-1 record and in last place of the group was the Flyers as they had a 0-2-1 record.

All teams participated in the playoff round on May 7 as it was a crossover format.

The first place teams and the fourth place teams were matched up against each other and the second and third place teams battled it out.

The winners of those respective games advance to the semifinals. In that round, the Leafs defeated the Red Wings 2-1 and the Hawks defeated the Flyers 4-0 to advance to the championship final.

For the teams that lost in the first round of the playoffs, they played against each other.

The Rangers earned a 3-0 win over the Bruins and the Canadians defeated the North Stars 3-2.

There was a losers cup as the North Stars fell 3-1 to the Bruins.

Former Saskatchewan Roughrider Fred Perry grabs a rebound using a slight height advantage

Their was plenty of excitement in the gym at the Legends Centre on Friday May 05 as CFL all stars played the Warman Community Middle School (WCMS)Storm in a charity basketball game. This event was part of a Lions of Saskatchewan Celebrity Weekend in support of their project to draw attention to “Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.” This disease is a result of complications due to the enlarging of the heart muscle cells. While the disease affects men and women equally and can occur at any age, it is a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest in young people, including young athletes. The purpose of the weekend was to raise funds for the Saskatchewan Heart & Stroke Foundation to help educate young athletes, their parents and their coaches. WCMS was able to help this cause as a cheque for $1451 was presented to the Saskatchewan Heart and Stroke Foundation.

There were ten classrooms that raised over $100 and as a reward they had an opportunity to have their photo taken with the Grey Cup.

Warman steps up enforcement of nuisance bylaw

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Homeowners in Warman should take advantage of the back alley cleanup program currently underway, because once it wraps up, the city will be getting tough on nuisance properties.

That’s the word from the Warman city council meeting on Monday, May 8.

Under the cleanup program, which runs in selected parts of the city over the next three weeks, city public works crews will haul away most materials at no charge.

Some materials have a fee attached or are not covered under the program. Full details can be found online at the City of Warman website.

The objective of the program, which has been running for many years, is to help residents dispose of household waste materials.

But there have been a number of complaints recently about messy properties. In his report to council at the May 8 meeting Warman City Manager Bob Smith said some properties have apparently been “an eyesore for a few years.”

“Residents are asking that the city start being firmer with enforcement of the Nuisance Bylaw in these areas,” said Smith. “It will be our intention, through the

Bylaw Enforcement Officer, to provide notification to the community that we will be making the issue of unsightly premises a priority.

“Once Spring Cleanup has been completed (South Side of Central May 8, North of Central and West of Centennial May 11, and East of Centennial May 16), we will be reviewing the areas of concern. If these locations are still untidy our Bylaw Officer will be enforcing the bylaw to have the property owner clean up.”

Smith said the city is issuing this notice now so the public is aware that enforcement efforts will be stepped up later this month.

CENTENNIAL CLOSURE

The ongoing construction of the new Warman city reservoir is at a stage where waterline connections to the existing system are imminent, said Smith. He noted the connections will require the closure of Centennial Boulevard to allow the hookups to be done.

At this point, the date of the closure and the amount of time the street will be closed is not known.

“As this is a major street with lots of traffic volume it will be our mandate to have it closed for a as little time as possible,” said Smith.

“However, we do realize that

this will still be a major inconvenience for motorists.

We will also be discussing with the contractor and the engineers how temporary water service will be provided to the affected property owners connected to the line while it is under repair.”

FOOD TRUCK POLICY

Warman City Council formally adopted a policy regulating mobile food vendors at its May 8 meeting.

While food trucks are regulated under the city’s Business Bylaw, the policy is intended to clarify the intent of the bylaw for all future mobile food vendor appli-

cants, said Warman Planning and Development Manager Brad Toth.

“Over the last number of years, the city has been approached by a number of people either operating or wanting to operate food trucks within the city,” said Toth. “To date there has been no issue with the few that have been operational in the city. However, there is a need to develop a policy to deal with current and future applications.”

The policy differentiates between food trucks and confectionery trucks. Confectionery trucks are those which sell only pre-pack-

aged foods like ice cream.

Food trucks can operate in any commercial or industrial area. Confectionery

trucks have some flexibility to park in residential districts for a set amount of time.

RURAL MUNICIPALITY OF BLUCHER NO. 343 PUBLIC NOTICE

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN & ZONING BYLAW

NOTICe Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Blucher intends to adopt a new Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw pursuant to The Planning and Development Act, 2007.

ReAsON The Official Community Plan (OCP) provides a comprehensive policy framework based upon goals and values of the community to guide the physical, environmental, economic, social, and cultural growth and development in the municipality over the next 25 years.

The Zoning Bylaw is the primary tool used to implement the policy direction represented in the OCP. The Zoning Bylaw establishes specific and general standards prescribing the conditions under which land may be developed; seeking to maximize land use compatibility and provide certainty to land development. Through the Zoning Bylaw, the municipality is divided into zoning districts representing various forms of development including agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial land uses. Each zoning district prescribes the types of uses which are permitted and prohibited and establishes site development standards including but not limited to building setbacks and site area limits.

AFFeCTed LANd The proposed OCP and Zoning Bylaw encompass all properties within the corporate limits of the Rural Municipality of Blucher No. 343.

PUBLIC INsPeCTION The documents and maps associated with the OCP and Zoning Bylaw may be viewed at the RM administration office within the Village of Bradwell. These documents are available for viewing by any person without payment of any fee between the hours of 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up to and including June 13, 2017.

A digital copy of the above noted documents is also available for public viewing on the RM of Blucher website at http://rm343.com .

PUBLIC HeARING Council will hold a public hearing on June 14, 2017 at 1:00 pm at the RM office located in the Village of Bradwell, to hear any person or group that wants to comment on the proposed bylaws. Council will also consider written comments received at the hearing or delivered to the undersigned at the RM administration office prior to the hearing.

Issued at the Village of Bradwell, this 5th day of May, 2017.

while acquisitions are about 70 per cent complete on the west side, the project is at a standstill. “We’re really trying to find what works best.”

But he added that down the road at some point, expropriation remains an option.

Judy Harwood, reeve of the RM of Corman Park said TransGas could have done better with the communication part of the project. “They’ve admitted that themselves. And let’s be honest, this is impacting people’s lives so they’re very emotional and passionate about what they’d like to see happen.”

She added it seems everyone would like to see RM council come back with a recommendation. “We just heard a lot of information, some of which we hadn’t heard before. We need some time to digest this and talk as a council about just what our recommendation is going to be.”

by TransGas to the residents. The pipeline itself requires a 30-metre easement with 10-metre setbacks on either side. Landowners cannot build on the setbacks but they can farm over them.

TransGas said routing the pipe under the river will take 2.2 kilometres and bury the pipe 40 to 50 metres below the riverbed. They had an independent consultant evaluate the route options.

“The central Option 3 and northern Option 1 corridors were rated first and second respectively,” said Daniel Dietrich manager for environment and sustainability for TransGas. Environmental considerations looks at things like species at risk, fish and fish habitats, soils, terrain, native grasses, wetlands and drainage.

MARTENSVILLE-WARMAN CONSTITUENCY

More Good econoMic news Saskatchewan’s growing population, job creation, consumer confidence and investment speaks to the resilience and diversity of our economy.

Last week billions of dollars in investment, thousands of construction jobs, and 400 new permanent positions were celebrated at the opening of Saskatchewan’s first new potash mine in over 40 years. Thank you to K+S Potash Canada for choosing to invest in Saskatchewan.

The Mosaic Company also marked a milestone for their multi-billion dollar K3 potash project in Esterhazy last week. The completion of new production shafts highlight Mosaic’s long-term commitment to the community as well as the sustainability of the industry in Saskatchewan.

Evraz North America will help get Canadian energy to world markets by supplying 800kms worth of steel pipe for the Trans Mountain pipeline. This project is very important for our economy and for hundreds of families who depend on jobs at Regina’s Evraz steel.

The Petroleum Services Association has also revised its oil & gas drilling forecast for Saskatchewan.

Drilling activity is now expected to increase by nearly 40% over the initial forecast.

All of this activity helps our province grow by creating jobs, and building a more diversified economy. I am proud that our province continues to attract major investments. It is a reflection of the environment that our government has worked hard to create by ensuring the right policies and competitive royalty and taxation structures are in place. We also want our interactions with industry to be streamlined and efficient, which is why we work to modernize regulations and reduce red tape.

Major credit rating agency DBRS has confirmed Saskatchewan’s credit rating and strong fiscal plan for the province. The plan, which will keep the economy strong and ensure our long-term prosperity as a province, makes us less reliant on resource revenue and puts us in a position to eliminate our deficit in just three years.

When fully implemented, Saskatchewan will have: * The lowest corporate tax rate in Canada (tied with British Columbia); * The lowest taxes on manufacturing and processing in Canada; * Nation-leading research and development incentives; * Among the lowest income taxes in Canada; * The lowest PST of any province with a PST; and * Citizens at every level of income will pay less income tax and PST than they did in 2007.

Saskatchewan will also be the only province without a carbon tax of any kind.

ProtectinG school choice in saskatchewan Our government announced that we will protect school choice in Saskatchewan by invoking the notwithstanding clause of The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This decision is in response to a recent Court of Queen’s Bench ruling that, if allowed to stand, would force about 10,000 non-Catholic students out of Catholic schools in Saskatchewan. The ruling could also risk provincial funding of 26 other faith-based schools across the province.

We support school choice including public, separate and faith-based schools. Section 33 of The Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives provincial legislatures the authority to override certain portions of the Charter for a five-year term. By invoking the notwithstanding clause we are protecting the rights of parents and students to choose the schools that work best for their families, regardless of their religious faith.

Martensville High School celebrates official opening

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Martensville High School (MHS) celebrated the completion of its new building and renovation of the old portion with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, May 5.

The school has an enrollment of about 400 students from Grade 9 through 12. The expansion provides the school with a capacity of 750 students. The province invested $27 million into the new facility.

“This is a very special day for our school and for our school division,” said MHS Principal Brad Nichol. “Schools are more than just buildings, they’re a learning community. To be part of a new school build and renovation is something that teachers and school employees are fortunate to be part of once in a career.

“Our new school is an inspiring learning space with many expanded facilities that will benefit and shape the students of Martensville for years to come.”

MHS Grade 12 student Nykola Dovgyy said he’s honoured to be among the members of the first graduating class to have seen the project go from start to finish over the past four years.

“Everyone who walks through the front doors is taken aback by how beautiful it is,” said Dovgyy.

“It makes the student experience so much better, and the teachers now have a terrific space to help students grow to their full academic and athletic potential.”

Dovgyy, a member of the provincial silver-medalist Martensville Royals football team last fall,

said he’s very impressed with the school’s athletic facilities.

“The new gym’s hardwood floor is beautiful, and we have an exceptional weight room that’s a state of the art training centre,” Dovgyy said. “It makes the overall learning experience that much better.”

MHS Grade 11 student Cassidy Funk had high praise for the school’s performing arts - including a 300-seat, state-of-the-art theatre - and commercial cooking facilities.

“We have so many great resources to accomplish our goals,” said Funk. “We’re extremely lucky to have teachers who are passionate about the arts, and these facilities allow us to showcase our abilities to the community.”

The newly-completed school features open concept learning spaces with plenty of natural light, 20 new classrooms, computer and science lab, music room, and numerous support spaces for special needs and learning assistance programs.

Martensville-Warman MLA Nancy Heppner said when discussions on the MHS expansion and renovation project began, no one imagined how well the final building would turn out.

Heppner said the provincial government is committed to ensuring good educational facilities in the community, noting two new elementary schools and a 90-space daycare centre are slated to open this coming September.

Martensville Mayor Kent Muench said the new facility provides students and teachers with a great opportunity to shape the culture of the school for the coming

“You’re the ones who are making things happen,” said Muench, in reference to the student body. “You are the ones that are turning this building into an actual school with high standards of excellence in athletics, academics and performing arts.”

Bonnie Hope, said 2017 is an exciting year for the school division and the community of Martensville.

Once the two new elementary schools and childcare centre open this fall, she said, “toddlers to Grade 12 students can enjoy their entire educational career in new surroundings in our city.”

“We are a young and thriving

community,” said Hope.

“The data emphasizes the importance of a strong public education system for the province. This facility will serve us well into the future.”

PSSD Board Chair Larry Pavloff said the project is the result of a strong partnership between the school division, the city and the provincial government.

Venture Heights tackles muddy playground

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Teachers, parents and volunteers in Martensville are gearing up to tackle a problem that’s bogged down schoolyard activities at Venture Heights Elementary School for the last couple of years.

The playground area north of the school, which at one time was a grassy field, has become a sloppy quagmire. But a campaign is underway to restore it to its former state.

“It’s pretty messy,” said Venture Heights Principal Ron Biberdorf. “In fact, it’s more like a disaster. Because of all the portable classrooms that have been brought in over the

past three or four years, our backyard playing area got beat up pretty heavily.

“A lot of big trucks and other equipment had to use this area to access the school.”

In the early spring and after a rain, the dirt quickly turns to mud that’s tracked into the school.

“The kids still use the field to play soccer, football and volleyball,” said Biberdorf. “They play out here all the time. Our janitors would be really pleased to see grass out here, too.”

A campaign to raise between $30,000 and $50,000 is currently underway to rejuvenate the playing area.

The school administration is currently awaiting quotes

on the work from several companies.

Improving the field was the top priority for students at the school, according to a survey conducted earlier this year. A steering committee of school administrators, school community councillors and volunteers was formed in early March to launch the project.

Biberdorf said the school has already dedicated money it has received from the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Sask Lotteries. In addition, the school’s annual chocolate sale fundraiser has earmarked money for the project. The campaign is also relying heavily on donations-in-kind from corporate sponsors, parents and

volunteers for the necessary work.

Biberdorf said the playing area project is divided into three zones. Zone 3 still has some grass, but the other two zones are high priority, he noted. “Our goal is to rip off the top layer of organics, and then bring in another layer of topsoil and then layers of sod,” said Biberdorf.

“We want the sod in June so parent volunteers can help us lay it.”

Before the sod can go in, however, a network of irrigation lines will be connected to an existing irrigation waterline around the perimeter. In addition, a sec-

“Because we have such a strong track and field pro-

gram here, we wanted to put in a track as well,” said Biberdorf. Excess topsoil excavated during the process will be used on site.
