Nancy Onderwater casts a line into the South Saskatchewan River at the Clarkboro Ferry crossing on Friday, April 10. Onderwater, along with companion Mike Devine and their dog were enjoying the warm spring temperatures and bright sunshine. With the ice gradually disappearing from the river, the ferry (seen in the background) will likely soon be back in operation.

The RM of Corman Park of-ficially announced provincial approval of their 5 per quarter Bylaws 25/14 and 26/14 during a council meeting April 7. The next steps for the RM will be to review the list of multi-parcel country residen-tial applications received dur-ing the 2013 call for proposals and update the status of those applications. However, this review will not happen right away, said Rebec-ca Row, Director of Planning and Development for the RM of Corman Park. “In order to have a fair pro-cess, RM Administration will not begin to process the sub-division applications until we have received our municipal acknowledgement letter along with a file number from Com-munity Planning,” said Row. The RM of Corman Park council approved both bylaws, which were the 5 per quarter, or 3 per 80 acre, residential by-law amendments and severed parcels policy in July, 2014.

Administration then sub-mitted a bylaw package to the Community Planning Branch of the Ministry of Government Relations for consideration. At the end of September 2014, Community Planning referred the bylaws to their referral agencies for comment. In Feb-ruary 2015, a meeting between RM representatives, Minis-try of Agriculture and provin-cial agricultural producers as-sociations was held. They also responded to the Town of Dal-meny’s request to change a por-tion of their exclusion area boundary. The Community Planning Branch gave ministerial ap-proval to the Bylaws on March 20. The RM received the ap-proved Bylaws on March 31, 2015. The purpose of amending By-law 25/14 was to allow up to four small residential building sites on a quarter section, plus a residential building site on the balance of the quarter. On 80-acre parcels, the by-laws will allow up to two small residential building sites plus a residential building site on the

balance of the 80-acre parcel. The amendment also identi-fied a 5 per quarter Constraints Overlay area that restricts sin-gle parcel country residential policy amendments in overlay areas to proposed highway cor-ridors (perimeter highway), flood-prone lands and urban municipalities growth plans. A severed parcels policy was added, which will allow for a potential subdivision to cre-ate a separate and independent land title on parcels severed as a result of a natural or man-made feature such as a river, permanent water body, railway or roadway. Intensive livestock Opera-tors (ILOs) will also have set-back distances amended from the property boundary of the land being utilized instead of the area of confinement for ani-mals. A Business Development Re-view (BDR) will be one of the integral pieces of the applica-tion process, said Row. The BDR provides the RM with a summary of the land use, servicing, access and haz-ard lands created and submit-

[email protected] by an applicant to support their subdivision and rezoning application. Row said in densely popu-lation RM divisions, residents should be aware that a Hydro-Geological Study from the Sas-katchewan Health Region may be required as part of the BDR. “We just want to make sure that people are aware of some of these requirements early on in the process and that’s why we think a BDR checklist will encourage us to contact some of these people, maybe phone the health region and give them their legal land location,” said Row. Division 6 Councilor Bas Froese-Kooijenga had concerns about the constraint area, spe-cifically developments in the P4G process. Adam Tittemore, RM of Corman Park Administra-tor, said there are different aspects to modifying a con-straint area. Using the example of the RM’s Flood Plain constraint area in Division 4, he said the RM, in partnership with the Water Se-curity Agency, would have to

complete an evaluation study. If the study yielded positive re-sults the constraints area could be removed. Tittemore said the same is true when the Perime-ter Highway’s southeast route is determined. Division 1 Councilor John Germs said it is getting diffi-cult for him to hold his tongue in PG4 meetings when dealing with future urban planning in the RM. In previous council meetings Germs has said any available land in the RM of Corman Park is being thought of as a ur-ban land bank for the City of Saskatoon and likens the con-straint area as a wall that hin-ders residents who live in-side it. The RM expects many ques-tions from residents in the com-ing months. Tittemore said future meet-ings will be held for local pro-ducers. The RM Administra-tion plans on recommending a half day session with council to discuss the status of the appli-cations prior to its next Plan-ning Committee meeting in early May.

Lack of water supply hampers firefighters’ efforts to control Corman Park fireBy TERRY PUGH

[email protected]


Firefighters from four com-munities teamed up to bat-tle a grass and brush fire that threatened a large number of farms and acreages in the southwestern part of the RM of Corman Park on Friday, April 10. Dalmeny Fire Rescue (DFR) was initially dispatched to the scene shortly after 3:00 p.m. While enroute, Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder said he could see the plume of smoke from several kilometers away, so he immediately called for back-up from the Langham and Mar-tensville fire departments. The Saskatoon Fire Depart-ment also supplied two vehi-cles to help battle the stubborn blaze, which was fanned by a moderate southwesterly breeze. At one point, the provincial Of-fice of the Fire Commission-er’s rapid response team was called to assist, but because of the large number of other, high-er-priority fires burning at the time, that request was later cancelled. The blaze started near some outbuildings on an acreage near the intersection of Range Road 3075 and Township Road 372. By the time the first fire trucks arrived, an older trail-er and a small outbuilding were already fully engulfed in flames, said Elder. FIrefighters concentrated their initial efforts on prevent-ing the fire from spreading to a nearby dwelling. They also worked to keep the blaze from jumping Range Road 3075. The task was complicated be-cause of the lack of nearby wa-ter supplies for tanker trucks, and also because of the abun-dance of dry grass, brush and poplar bluffs. “The brush has a lot of fire load that probably hasn’t burned through for a while,” said Elder in an interview at the scene. “The low humidi-ty and the higher temperature make the fire behave more er-ratically, or burn more spon-taneously. Anytime the tem-perature is higher than the humidity, it makes for an explo-sive situation. “It was tough slogging through the bush trying to ex-

Tornado Hunter makes impact with students at old stomping grounds

By TERRY [email protected]


Mother Nature can cook up quite a storm when she’s in the mood, and Martensville native Ricky Forbes likes nothing bet-ter than being in her kitchen when a good tornado is brew-ing. One of the stars of the pop-ular television series “Torna-do Hunter,” Forbes grew up in Martensville and attended Ven-ture Heights School. After grad-uating from Martensville High School, he earned a Commerce degree at the University of Sas-katchewan. But it wasn’t long till Forbes traded in his suit and tie for a life of adventure. A lifelong outdoor enthusiast, Forbes hooked up with photographer Greg Johnson and videogra-pher Chris Chittick to launch Tornado Hunter, now enter-ing its fourth season of filming. Forbes handles the driving and navigation duties as the team spends six months of each year tracking storms and getting as close as humanly possible to tornadoes. He’s no stranger to “Tornado Alley.” In fact, he says, this part of Saskatchewan is the north-ern tip of the region of North America famous for some of the most powerful storms in the world. On Monday, April 13, Forbes

was back in his home town where he spoke to students at Venture Heights School. Even though he speaks at roughly 100 schools every year, this one was special, he said. “I went to Venture Heights School in Grades 5 to 8,” he said in an interview. “This was my school from 1996 to 1999. It’s amazing coming back to my old stomping grounds. I remem-ber being in this gym where I played sports and listened to presentations, and now to be giving a presentation here is absolutely amazing.” Forbes said his presentations walk a fine line between con-veying the adrenaline-pumping excitement of being on the front lines of storm-chasing; and ed-ucating his audience about how dangerous these storms can be. They’re awe-inspiring subjects for photographers, but they can also bring death and devasta-tion on entire communities. “First and foremost in my school presentations, I’m there to share stories from my career of storm chasing,” said Forbes. “But I also talk about severe weather and explain to the kids how to protect themselves. I don’t speak about the devas-tation, not because it’s not im-portant, but because it’s a very dark side of the issue and the kids are a little too young for that kind of stuff.”

Forbes said he focuses on the “fun” side of weather in order to stimulate kids’ interest in nature and the outdoors. “If you’re anywhere near a tornado you want to get in-doors, get downstairs, in the smallest room or under the stairs,” he said. “Someplace where you have some protec-tion. In our truck, we have the latest technology to track these storms, and we’re trained pro-fessionals. We have basically a bullet-proof truck and years of experience. It looks easy, but there’s a lot more to it.” Even the best-prepared storm chasers can get caught off-guard, he said. During his pre-sentation, he recalled an inci-dent two years ago where the team got caught in the big-gest tornado ever recorded, in Oklahoma. They had to drive through the storm and were pelted with softball-size hail. Their truck was literally lifted off the ground, but fortunate-ly landed on all four wheels and was still able to be driven. Forbes said he recalls seeing a three-ton grain truck flying through the air. Fortunately, it landed some distance away. “Yeah, it gets a little scary at times,” he said with a grin. “But it’s exciting. And I really like to convey that excitement to the kids during presenta-tions like this.”

tinguish the flames and keep hot spots from flaring up.” Elder said there were no se-rious injuries, although fire-fighters and the landowners had to contend with very heavy smoke. “The priority was protecting dwellings,” said Elder. “It took a while to get it under control but we were able to get the up-per hand and prevent it from spreading. My concern was if the fire jumped the road it would have taken off because of the tangle of bush and long grass and underbrush. There are a lot of acreages with dwell-ings and outbuildings. It’s fair-ly high density and there could have been a lot of damage.” Firefighters used wildland fire trucks and also fought the fire on foot. Water supplies had to be brought in by truck from Langham and Saskatoon.

THREATENS HOMES Adam Sawatzky, a resident who lives on a nearby acreage, kept a close eye on the situation

as firefighters worked to con-tain the smouldering blaze. He said he had a dozen horses that would have to be moved quick-ly if the fire jumped the road. Other acreages in the area also have a lot of animals that would be in danger if the fire escalated, he said. Sawatzky said he and his fa-ther, Wayne, were working in their yard about three o’clock when they smelled smoke. His father left the yard on an er-rand, and five minutes later the air was thick with blue smoke, said Sawatzky. “I walked out back and saw the big plume of smoke,” said Sawatzky. “Dad used to be a volunteer firefighter with Langham about ten or fifteen years ago, so I knew for a fact he’d be in there. He knows what he’s doing. He called us to let us know he was helping out and he was fine. The Dalmeny Fire Department showed up shortly after that.” The fire destroyed a chicken coop and an older trailer, and

several animals perished in the blaze, but it could have been much worse, said Elder. He said the cause of the fire was not yet determined. Elder said people need to be careful at this time of year if they are contemplating a con-

trolled burn. “The ground is soft and it’s brown and dry up top, so it’s not a great situation,” he said. “And we’ve seen how quick-ly the wind can come up and that’s when things can get out of hand.”

A delegation of representa-tives from Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) addressed the RM of Corman Park Council April 7. George Janzen, who repre-sents Subdivision 4, which in-cludes Dalmeny’s Prairie View Elementary, Dalmeny High School, Hepburn School, Osler School and Valley Christian Academy, said the entirety of Corman Park is contained within PSSD. He said the board has become aware of their need to do a better job of talking to their municipal partners to make them aware of the issues. Ken Crush, who represents Subdivision 3 on the PSSD Board, which includes Borden School, Langham Elementa-ry and Walter W. Brown High School in Langham, said with a division that boasts the high-est graduation rate in the prov-ince at 87 per cent and leads the province with First Nation stu-dent graduation rates, the divi-

sion deserves more respect in terms of operational funding from the province. Crush said problems first started to build for PSSD in 2012 when the province switched to a different funding model. “The model was designed to bring equity to school divisions across the province, but since 2012 that is when our budgets have really struggled,” said Crush. “Prior to that we were able to manage by doing some cutting and fine tuning; we were able to make it work.” The progressive lack of op-erational funding has caused PSSD to cut $2 million and carry over $3 million from its reserves in last year’s bud-get, while this year Crush es-timates the division will be short by $6 million, which the division has been able to cut back by $3.2 million. How-ever, Crush said this will af-fect teacher programs in their schools. “It is getting to the point now that children are beginning to

suffer in schools,” said Crush. “What we are saying to the gov-ernment is that you have to provide your share.” Janzen said over the years PSSD has offered students a credible educational alterna-tive for communities north of Saskatoon. “Saskatoon [School Divi-sions] are not our competition by any means, but they factor into a lot of our decisions. We compete to some extent with them,” said Janzen. “If our schools don’t offer the proper programming our high school students can move there.” Crush said funding for new students will not be recognized until a year later, but with a di-vision that accepts 300 to 400 additional students in its divi-sion each year, it is could cost PSSD an extra $2 million dol-lars because they would have to hire 10 to 15 teachers to accom-modate the students into exist-ing classrooms. In a recent meeting with Pre-mier Brad Wall and other area stakeholders, Crush expressed

[email protected] concern about the prov-ince’s operational funding mod-el. Corman Park Division 2 Councilor Michelle Chuhaniuk, a retired school administrator for Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools Division, said lack of operational funding for schools is not a new problem. “It is really unfortunate there is no research to support the fact that students coming in mid-year to a classroom does carry significant stress and weight on the classroom itself, teacher and educational assis-tants,” said Chuhaniuk. Division 7 Councilor Joanne Janzen said with the Division’s annual increase in student pop-ulation, she hopes the Division will continue to hold the prov-ince’s feet to the fire on this is-sue.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

The Clark’s Crossing Gazette welcomes the submission of news stories, photos, letters or any other information that would be of interest to the readers of this newspaper.NEWS OR SPORTS STORIESIf 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, in-cluding the following: 1. WHO was involved? 2. WHAT was the event? 3. WHEN and WHERE did the event occur? 4. WHY was the event important?PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPSAll the information that goes with a news story should also accompany photo(s) as above. Include the names of all the people in each photo and identify from left to right and from back to front. 1. Set your camera to the highest resolution possible. The more resolution, the better the final outcome of the photo in print. 2. Don’t be shy! Get close to your subject(s). Most photos taken with a built-in zoom lens extended will produce “grainy” images that do not reproduce well. 3. Attempt to get dynamic photos of something happening instead of just a quick snapshot. 4. “Presentation” photos typically don’t work well if there are too many people side-by-side in the frame. If there are many people in the photo, have them as close together as possible and, if needed, have the front row seated and the back row standing. 5. Remember taking a picture facing into the sun or bright light will produce poor quality images.

NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS

The notion of simply abolish-ing the Senate used to be just an NDP idea; one that allowed New Democrats to condescend-ingly condemn the other par-ties who clearly had abused the institution. Because the federal NDP have never come close to Ot-tawa’s spoils of power, it was always rather easy for New Democrats to preach their sanc-timony about the “old line” par-ties being in the business for the pay off. However, the problem for those who had the privilege of watching NDP governments up close like here in Saskatch-ewan is that they just weren’t any better at avoiding the temp-tation of rewarding friends and family with taxpayer-funded jobs. Of course, many voters shared the NDP’s sentiments on the Senate, anyway. After all, voters in places like Sas-katchewan aren’t exactly stu-pid and could see for them-selves the uselessness of the so-called chamber of sober-sec-ond thought. Sure, there were those in this province and further west who have toyed with the notion of a Triple-E Senate. But the notion

of an elected, equal and effec-tive Senate died about the time old Reformers decided that they had no interest in carrying for-ward virtually any of the ideals they might have had to the new Conservative party under Ste-phen Harper. And as long as the Senate act-ed in a rather benign manner, most people in Saskatchewan really thought the constitution-al fight required to end its exis-tence simply wasn’t worth the trouble. So perhaps it’s a little sur-prising that Saskatchewan; which hasn’t elected any NDP MPs in 15 years and has virtu-ally no interest in seeing a pro-vincial NDP government any time in the near future; is now one the places that seems to most endorse the NDP idea of abolishing the Senate. According to a recent Angus Reid poll, 41 per cent of Canadi-ans want to see the Senate abol-

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

Notion of Senate abolition taking holdished while another 45 per cent still would prefer to see it re-formed. Only a mere 14 per cent of Canadians see value in keep-ing the status quo. Of even more interest is that Manitoba, Quebec and Sas-katchewan were the only prov-inces where a slim majori-ty prefer to see abolition of the Senate. One reason why this might be the case in Saskatchewan is maybe because NDP senti-ments run slightly deeper than most realize. Another reason is that the idea of abolition has received a shining endorsement from con-servative-minded Premier Brad Wall, although Wall’s notion of simply stopping the appoint-ment of Senators and waiting until Senators retire or die off seems a little unlikely. Whatever the reason, this can’t be is particularly great news for Harper; even in plac-es like Saskatchewan where his Conservatives have enjoyed a virtual stranglehold. The problem right now is that the worst in both Senate entitlement and backdoor politi-cal dealing is on display for the next month and a half as Mike Duffy’s bribery and expense

fraud trial plays out. Sure, there may be little left of Duffy’s reputation, given the first-day-of-the trial stories of budget meetings at the Van-couver Yacht Club or expens-es to pick out a puppy or see his daughter in a play and claim-ing expenses even before he was appointed. So much for Duffy’s line that Senate rules were just too con-fusing. That said, it now appears ob-vious that Harper will have a very difficult time distanc-ing himself from Duffy. It was Harper who appointed Duffy, knowing full well he didn’t even live in P.E.I. It was Harp-er who engaged Duffy as a Con-servative fundraiser. And after just one day, it is Harper who has been splat-tered by the mud Duffy’s de-fense is starting to fling, be-ginning with Duffy’s claim he was told his claims were legal and well within the rules, but should be paid back anyway be-cause of the political percep-tion. The long-stewing resentment over Senate entitlement has come to a boil and Harper risks being scalded.

READY FOR ANYTHING

The scene: A quiet spring morning in Warman. The air temperature is a crisp 5 de-grees, but it’s sunny and clear, with just a slight breeze from the north. The commuter traffic in and out of the city is at its peak. Suddenly, the quiet is shat-tered by the piercing whistle of a freight train. Moments lat-er comes the ear-splitting sound of the locomotive’s brakes, and a nano-second later a grinding crash of metal on metal. A two-engine freight has just collided with a 32-passenger school bus at the CN main line’s level crossing at 6th Avenue. The impact carries the bus some dis-tance down the track and sever-al of the train’s tanker cars are derailed. One of those cars is punctured, and a greenish cloud of gas can be seen pouring out of the side of the tanker.

Diving into the deep end is one way to get your feet wet. Warman Emergency Mea-sures Organization (EMO) vol-unteers were called into ac-tion early Wednesday morning, April 8, for their first full-scale disaster training scenario. The city’s Emergency Opera-tions Centre (EOC), a dedicat-ed room in the Warman Fire



Hall equipped with communi-cations equipment and special-ized areas for Operations, Plan-ning, Logistics, and Finance, was the scene of intense activ-ity as two dozen civic employ-ees, elected officials and volun-teers manned battle stations to deal with a simulated disaster. Or rather, three simulated disasters at once. A motor ve-hicle-train collision, a derail-ment, and a dangerous goods leak. Each of these three alone would tax the resources of most community’s emergency re-sponder groups. Dealing with all three simultaneously was a massive challenge. But that was all part of the plan, according to Warman EMO Coordinator Randy Meginbir. “We looked at several differ-ent possible scenarios,” said Meginbir in an interview after the intense two and a half hour training session ended. “We looked at inclement weather like a tornado, which is a high-risk possibility here. But we de-cided on the railway accident because there is a high popula-tion of students and school bus-es passing through this com-munity every day, and we’re also seeing an increase in rail-way traffic. “This is something that could potentially happen, al-

though we purposely made it an absolute worst-case scenar-io. This training session was all about familiarizing people with their roles and responsi-bilities, and getting everyone to work together as a team to get the job done to the best of ev-eryone’s ability.” Warman Assistant EMO Co-ordinator Chad Makulowich said the tabletop simulation took several days to plan, and included the involvement of CN Rail dangerous goods special-ists, City of Saskatoon emergen-cy measures officials,, and rep-resentatives of the provincial Office of the Fire Commission-er. Makulowich noted that very few of the Warman EOC volun-teers had any experience in an actual disaster, and the simula-tion was designed to make peo-ple realize the gravity of situa-tions they could be faced with in real life. “We were trying to have a sit-uation that was unexpected,” said Makulowich. “It was a lit-tle overwhelming, but once ev-eryone realized what the over-all objectives were and what their roles were, it really start-ed to come together. I think it was a good first attempt, and

Tax increase, borrowing enable Martensville to invest in capital projects

The average homeowner in Martensville will be paying about $115 more on the munic-ipal portion of their property tax bill in 2015. Martensville City Council ad-opted its 2015 budget at its reg-ular meeting on Tuesday, April 7. The budget combined an av-erage 5 per cent property tax hike with some additional bor-rowing to balance the books. The city will take in an esti-mated $13.5 million in rev-enues and spend the same amount in operating and capi-tal expenditures. Martensville Mayor Kent


Muench described the finan-cial plan as “a fair and bal-anced budget” that “recognizes the needs of a growing city by providing appropriate invest-ment in infrastructure and oth-er capital improvements, while keeping an eye on the future re-quirements of a growing and vibrant community.” The budget boosts the mill rate by .43 mills, which trans-lates into a tax increase of ap-proximately $115 annually for the average residential proper-ty owner. The city estimates the mu-nicipal revenue will increase by approximately 5 per cent, or about $308,000. The municipal tax base for

2015 remains unchanged from the 2014 rate of $615. The garbage and recycling fees, also known as the envi-ronmental health service (EHS) levy, rises by $15 from $165 (2014) to $180 (2015). The city residential tax levy (mill rate) is increasing from 5.60 (2014) to 6.03 (2015). The special levy for the city’s future wastewater treatment fa-cility remains unchanged at $75 annually. The school tax levy of 5.03 mills for residential and 8.28 mills for commercial/industri-al is set by the provincial gov-ernment and is not included in the above figures. The city’s final budget in-

volved some difficult decisions by council, according to Mar-tensville Finance Director Lor-raine Postma. In an interview on Friday, April 10, Postma said the city is relying on a combination of increased borrowing, high-er tax revenue, and funds from the provincial revenue-shar-ing grant to balance the budget. She noted that capital invest-ment in infrastructure ac-counts for a big part of the mu-nicipal expenses this year. The city’s growth has result-ed in an increase in the val-ue of its residential and com-mercial assessment, which rose from $3.777 million to $4.011 million this year.

“That increase in assessment is simply from growth alone,” said Postma. The revenue-sharing grant from the province rose from $1.5958 million in 2014 to $1.648 in 2015. That wasn’t a huge in-crease, but it definitely helped the city’s bottom line, said Post-ma, noting the city was relieved the grant was not cut. “It would have made a big difference if it had gone the oth-er way,” she said. Postma said the budget was a difficult one because of the large number of infrastructure improvements slated for this year. “You have to make sure you have enough capacity to han-

dle the increased growth,” she said. “Basic things like water, sewer and streets all have to be able to handle the load they’re expected to carry. And also, you have to set aside reserves to replace that infrastructure as it ages. “There are also big projects coming up in the future, like the regional waste-water sys-tem, that need to be taken into account.” Over the past year, the city has financed a number of ma-jor projects, including construc-tion of the Martensville Athlet-ic Pavilion and the purchase of 250 acres of raw land for future development and land for two new schools.

we are hoping to have more of these training sessions in the months to come.” The Warman EOC is struc-tured according to interna-tional protocols established af-ter 2001. Each person performs assigned tasks according to where they fit into the overall structure: In simple terms: The “Operations” sector in-cludes the “do-ers” - the fire and rescue personnel, EMS, po-lice and other emergency re-sponders who are involved at ground level dealing with the immediate needs of disaster victims, families and the com-munity; The “Planning” sector are the “thinkers” - the ones antic-ipating what the next steps are, anticipating what else could happen and formulating plans for meeting the future needs of people in distress and the peo-ple helping them; The “Logistics” sector in-cludes the “getters” - the people who bring in and set up the fa-cilities and equipment needed to deal with the emergency. The “Finance” sector in-cludes the folks who track the costs and supplies and sort out who pays for what in the after-math of the disaster and clean-up. The training scenario was conducted in “real time” for the first hour or so. Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Aus-tin, who helped devise the sce-nario with the EMO coordi-nators, was posted outside the EOC and communicated via ra-dio. For the purpose of the sim-ulation, he was reporting from the scene of the disaster, and the information coming over the radio had a chilling impact on his listeners as he described the fatalities and “walking wounded.” Austin noted that in an emer-gency situation in Warman during a weekday, the fire de-partment is short of people. “We would be very taxed,” said Austin. “For the purpos-es of the simulation, I had six members responding. And it turned out that is the exact number that we did have avail-able earlier this morning when a real call came in just be-fore the training exercise was scheduled to get underway.” The RCMP detachment was likewise stretched to the lim-it of its resources, according to Warman RCMP Staff Sergeant Kevin Weber. “It would take about an hour and a half to muster the twenty members we would have avail-able,” said Weber. “And that includes pulling members in from as far away as Radisson.” Warman City Manager Stan Westby, who serves as EOC Di-rector, described the training

Warman prepares to implement emergency notification systemBy TERRY PUGH

[email protected]


The City of Warman is poised to roll out a communi-ty-wide electronic alert system aimed at notifying residents of emergency situations. The sys-tem is also designed to provide essential, fac-tual information when time is of the essence. The Warman “No-tify Now” system is modelled on a simi-lar initiative already in place in the City of Saskatoon, and is com-pletely voluntary, according to Warman Economic Develop-ment Officer Josh Welz. “From a municipal stand-point, it’s incredibly important for us to get information out to people as quickly as possible,” said Welz in an interview on Friday, April 10. “This provides a reliable, readily-accessible system that can reach everyone through a variety of channels.” Welz, who also serves as the

city’s Primary Information Of-ficer (PIO) in cases when a state of local emergency is declared, said the Warman Notify Now system will be officially rolled out on Friday, May 1. Residents and businesses can log onto the City of Warman website and

subscribe to the system by clicking on the red “Notify Now” button. “Essen-tially what it does is it allows resi-dents to self-reg-ister,” said Welz. “When you regis-

ter you state what type of notifi-cations you would like to be in-formed of, so it can be anything from emergency notifications, such as drinking water advi-sories or emergency situations like a local disaster. It can even be more mundane things like meetings of council.” The alerts can be conveyed through cell phone texts, e-mails or cell phone voice alerts, said Welz.

Warman Economic Development Officer Josh Welz and Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence discuss strategy for disseminating information during a Emergency Operations CEntre training exercise last week

“The nice thing is it is strict-ly about notifications,” said Welz. “It’s not a marketing campaign and it’s not an adver-tising thing. It is strictly for the benefit of the citizens. When you sign up you indicate how

you want to be notified, and what you want to be notified of.” Welz said the city’s empha-sis on bolstering its EMO pre-paredness also provides an op-portunity for citizens to step

forward as EMO volunteers. “During the training exer-cise we had on April 8, one thing that became very clear very early on is that we will need volunteers to help out dur-

ing emergency situations,” said Welz. “More information on how people can get involved as a volunteer with the EMO will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead.”

exercise as “an intense experi-ence” and noted it showed ar-eas of strength, but also areas where improvements need to be made. Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said the city council has chosen to put financial and oth-er civic resources into beefing up the EMO preparedness lev-el, particularly with a fully-stocked EOC. “The EMO in Warman has really evolved within the last couple of years to a point where it is a much higher priority,” said Spence. “Randy Megin-bir has made a strong case for preparation, and council has endorsed that approach and showed that willingness by put-

ting dollars into it. We have to take steps to be prepared for any situation. “This training exercise has

really helped educate people about their jobs, and it shows how the city staff are also mak-ing it a priority.”

New home construction in Warman, Martensville continues at healthy pace during first part of 2015



The pace of new residen-tial and commercial construc-tion in Warman and Martens-ville showed no sign of slowing down in the first three months of 2015. Statistics supplied by the City of Warman show there were 47 building permits is-sued for single and multi-fam-ily dwellings in Warman from the period January 1 to April 13, 2015. The total value of those new residential buildings amounts to $12,670,700. Warman also saw three building permits issued dur-

New homes are under construction in the Lake Vista neighbourhood in Martensville

ing that period for commercial structures, with a total value of $2,320,000. A total of 72 permits for res-idential decks, garages, base-ment and additions were issued so far this year, with a com-bined value of $16,715,600. Last year was one of the most active for Warman in terms of construction activity. The to-tal value of construction in 2014 was over $132 million. There were 303 building permits is-sued for single and multi-family dwellings in Warman in 2014, as well as 40 permits for com-mercial buildings.

MARTENSVILLE PERMITS Martensville also recorded

a steady pace for building per-mits, although the numbers are lower than Warman. There were a total of nine permits issued for single fami-ly dwellings in Martensville be-tween January 1 and March 31, 2015, according to figures sup-plied by the City of Martens-ville. In addition, there were eight multi-family dwelling per-mits issued. A total of 31 permits were is-sued for residential additions, and seven commercial/indus-trial building permits were ap-proved. The total value of all per-mits in Martensville for the first three months of 2015 was $5,378,420.

Martensville had a total of 56 single family dwellings and 40 multi-family dwellings be-gin construction in 2014. There were also 10 commercial/indus-trial buildings. The total value of building permits in Martensville in 2014 amounted to $47,204,622.

Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 3,063 units in March compared to 3,150 in February, according to Canada Mortgage and Hous-ing Corporation (CMHC) The trend is a six month moving average of the month-ly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)(1) of total housing starts. “The trend in total housing starts edged lower in March following a declining trend in both single-detached and multi-family starts. The current pace of housing starts is in line with CMHC’s expectation that ris-ing inventory and moderating economic fundamentals will prompt local home builders to scale back production in 2015,”

Saskatoon region housing starts dip slightlysaid Goodson Mwale, CMHC’s Senior Market Analyst for Sas-katchewan. CMHC uses the trend mea-sure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for consider-able swings in monthly esti-mates and obtain a more com-plete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situ-ations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are large-ly driven by the multiples seg-

ment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The standalone month-ly SAAR was 2,527 units in March, down from 3,371 in Feb-ruary. While the SAAR mea-sure declined from the previ-ous month, total actual housing starts in March increased sig-nificantly compared to the pre-vious year after local home builders initiated 123 multi-family units compared to 4 in March 2014.

Saskatchewan had the high-est percentage year-over-year wage growth in the country in January 2015, up 4.9 per cent over January 2014 (seasonal-ly adjusted), well ahead of the 3.0 per cent growth posted na-tionally, according to Statistics Canada “The Saskatchewan economy remains strong, which in turn allows employers to increase wages for Saskatchewan peo-ple,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Compared to other jurisdictions in Canada, we are continuing to do very well.” In January 2015, Saskatche-wan’s average weekly earnings were $987.51 (seasonally adjust-ed), the third highest among the provinces behind Alber-ta and Newfoundland and Lab-rador. Nationally, the average was $947.68. The three industries with the highest year-over-year percent-age growth in earnings (sea-sonally adjusted) are arts, en-tertainment and recreation (up 13.0 per cent), information and cultural industries (up 12.0 per cent) and transportation and warehousing (up 11.6 per cent).

Bicycle riders from across Canada and the province are gearing up for the second annu-al Prairie Gran Fondo cycling event in Saskatoon on Sunday, July 5. The event features four dis-tance routes including the 40 km Piccolo and 73 km Medio, 115 km Gran Fondos. If that didn’t get your heart pumping, a new 165 km Gran Fondo Plus race will debut this year All routes will start at the German Cultural Club and take riders across the South Saskatchewan River; west along Valley Road to Highway 60 and Pike Lake; and finally a visit to the Town of Delisle; where riders can participate in a sprint down the main street of Delisle before refuelling at the Delisle rest stop. From Delisle, riders will re-trace their route along Valley Road back to Saskatoon. After crossing the bridge they’ll head south on Highway 219 to the Dakota Dunes Casino. On their ride out to Dako-ta Dunes, riders will further challenge themselves by travel-ing around Range Road 3055/ Twp Rd 352 loop in a 5KM sec-tion and possibly a timed climb up the short but steep Casino hill. After a well-deserved rest at the Dakota Dunes Casino rest stop, riders will continue back to Saskatoon. Ron Mantyka, who is presi-dent of the Saskatoon Cycling Association and a representa-tive of Saskatoon’s Horizon 100 Cycling Club, said the goal of the event is to combine a race with the atmosphere of a festi-val. “Three years ago we decid-ed that there really is no cele-bration of the prairie landscape in terms of cycling so what we decided to do was step up the game,” said Mantyka. “We de-cided to really feature the prai-rie landscape and the opportu-nity to ride.” Last year the event attracted an age demographic of riders from 4 to 74 and surpassed its goal of 200 participants. This year Canadian Cycling Maga-

zine rated the Saskatoon race in the top ten Grand Fondo rac-es cyclists should participate in. As a result, organizers plan to increase that registration number to 500 this year and plan to double it every year af-terward. Mantyka addressed the RM of Corman Park council on April 7 to ask for a temporary speed reduction on Valley Road from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. In his pre-sentation he alleviated council’s concerns about cyclists using a portion of the road for a leg of the race. Judy Harwood, Reeve of Corman Park, expressed con-cerns about vehicles who can sometimes reach speeds from 110 to 120 km/hour on Valley Road when the speed limit is only 90 km/hour. Mantyka said the shoulder widths along Valley Road work in cyclists’ favour. “We are able to keep the cy-clists well within the shoulder of the road, but you do make an excellent point,” said Manty-ka. “It is something that we are talking about with the RCMP in terms of a presence to try and keep control of the speed.” Mantyka said organizers have cooperation from the Saskatoon Police and are in dis-cussions with the RCMP and Corman Park Police about hav-ing an escorted police presence along the route. Mantyka said organizers of the race will also have vol-unteers stationed at differ-ent points to help direct riders along the race route. Corman Park Police Chief John Garnet has no objections to reducing the speed limit on Valley Road from 90 km/h to 60 km/h under condition that or-ganizers post signs along the route during the race’s sched-uled time on April 7. Harwood said local business-es in the RM could see a benefit from the race. “There is going to be a lot of people and that is a good thing. I think it is good for the city and good for all of us,” said Harwood. “We will have to de-cide on how we are going to let our ratepayers know when it will take place.”

Food for Thought “SUGAR”Which plays a greater role in high blood pressure & cardiovascular disease (CVD): SUGAR OR SALT?If your answer was “salt” you are wrong, says authors of a published study in the only journal Open Heart. Added sugars, particularly fructose, in processed foods are likely to have a greater role in high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke than added salt.Both the American and Canadian Heart Association defines added sugars as “sugar and syrups that are added to foods or beverages during processing or preparation” and says that “names for added sugars include agave syrup, brown sugar, corn sweetener, corn syrup, sugar molecules ending in “ose” (dextrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose) high fructose corn syrup, fruit juice concentrate, honey, invert sugar, malt sugar, molasses, raw sugar, sugar and syrup.The average person, according to the Canadian and American Heart Association consume 24 –47 teaspoons of added sugar per day. This is well above the AHA-recommended daily intake of only 6 teaspoons per day for women and 9 teaspoons per day for men.In order to prevent cardiovascular disease, dietary guidelines should emphasize the role played by added sugars, say the authors in their paper “The Wrong White Crystals: Not Salt but Sugar as Aetiological in Hypertension and Cardio-metabolic Disease”. Historically “salt” was the one that should be reduced to lowering high blood pressure. But the potential benefits of this approach is debatable. This is because the average reduction in blood pressure achieved by restricting salt intake tends to be relatively small, and there is some evidence to suggest that 3 –6 grams of salt daily may be optimal for health, and that intake below 3 gram may actually be harmful.Most salt in the diet comes from processed foods, which also happens to be a rich source of added sugars. Sugar may be more relative to blood pressure than sodium, as sugested by a greater magnitude of effect with dietary manipulation. Compelling evidence from basic science and popular studies with clinical trials all implicate sugar, particularly the monosaccharide fructose as the major player in developing hypertension or high blood pressure. Studies also suggest that fructose may contribute to overall cardiovascular risk through a variety of mechanisms.In one study it was noted that naturally occurring sugars found in fruit and veggies are not harmful to health. Just as most dietary sodium does not come for the salt shaker, most dietary sugar does not come from the sugar bowl. By reducing the consumption of added sugars by limiting processed foods containing it would be a good place to start. The evidence is clear that even moderate doses of added sugar for short durations may cause substantial harm.

Cancer Society applauds Warman’s new outdoor smoking regulations



The Canadian Cancer Soci-ety (CCS) is hoping that oth-er municipalities across Sas-katchewan follow the lead of Warman and Martensville in declaring more outdoor spaces as smoke-free. In a presentation to Warman City Council on Monday, April 13, CCS Cancer Control Coordi-nator Diana Ng gave the city a Healthy Choices Healthy Life-styles Award. The framed plaque will be mounted beside a similar award received earlier this year from the Lung Association of Saskatchewan. Both awards are in recognition of bylaws en-acted by Warman and Martens-ville to regulate outdoor smok-ing in public places. Ng said the award acknowl-edges individuals or groups who strive to better their health and their environment by changing an aspect of their lifestyle. “Together with the City of Martensville, you (City of Warman) adopted the first com-prehensive outdoor smoking by-law in Saskatchewan,” said Ng. “Your assistance was a tremen-dous help to us in our advocacy action on this issue. Thank you for your commitment to cancer control.”

MILL RATE LEVY BYLAW Warman City Council adopt-ed a bylaw setting the gener-al municipal levy at 6.5 mills

at its council meeting on April 13. The mill rate was set earlier when council adopted its 2015 budget. The commercial mu-nicipal mill rate factor is set at 7.87 mills. The mill rate for the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) is set by the provincial government at 2.67 mills for ag-ricultural property, 5.03 mills for residential property and 8.28 mills for commercial and industrial property.

NEW FINANCE MANAGER The City of Warman has hired Brett Ferguson, a grad-uate of the University of Sas-katchewan, as its new Finance Manager. Ferguson began his duties on Monday, April 13. He steps into the position following the resignation of Clae Hack, who left to take a position with the City of Saskatoon.

erators course do excavation work on the new skateboard park in Warman’s Prairie Oa-sis Park. Similar contracts were in place last year to do ini-tial excavation work on the site. The skate park is slated to open in late summer or early fall.

SECONDARY SUITES The City approved recom-mendations from its planning department to approve second-ary suites in two homes in res-idential neighbourhoods. The suites are in residences on Palmer Crescent and Canora Street, and meet all regulatory guidelines.

STREET CLEANUP Warman Public Works per-sonnel are working on street sweeping and general cleanup of alleys and streets, according to Warman Public Works Man-ager Randy Fehr. In his report to council April 13, Fehr said the plan is to begin crack seal-ing and pothole repairs as soon as possible.

At 11:53 am on Monday, April 13, Saskatoon RCMP conduct-ed a vehicle stop in the RM of Corman Park. Approximately 200 grams of cannabis and oth-er drug related paraphernalia was located in the vehicle.

Martensville Club holds junior windupSubmitted by

LYNN REMESHYLOMartensville Curling Club President

Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA) clubs are preparing their fields for a busy season. This year the association will be hosting the ISF Men’s World Softball Championship June 26-July 5. This will be the fourth time Saskatoon has hosted a Men’s World championship. SASA president Bryan Kosteroski is excited about the prospect. “When you talk about the men’s world softball champion-ship, you really have to look at the history of the event,” said-Kosteroski. “You have the top players in the world coming to Saskatoon. If you are a soft-ball fan you are going to want to be there to see the talent first hand.” Kosteroski said there will be 16 countries represented at the tournament, with seven teams including Canada, Argenti-na, New Zealand and Austra-lia that could easily walk away with the championship. “Everyone knows it’s a hit-ting and pitching game but it is

really about who is hot that day which will determine the win-ner.” He said the SASA plans on holding a press conference to officially kick off the event on April 29 and another press con-ference May 3 to announce Team Canada’s roster. Right now there is a 20-man pool that Team Canada has to trim down to 17. Kosteroski expects Senior Di-amondbacks pitcher Devin Mc-Cullough to make the cut. “He is an upcoming player in Canada for many years and he will be pitching many im-portant games for Team Cana-da,” said Kosteroski. “He came up through the Saskatoon Phantoms softball zone, played with Sask First programs and played with the National Ju-nior Team four years ago in Whitehorse.” This summer in league play the Senior A and B men’s and Junior A Men’s provincial championships will be held in Saskatoon July 17, 18 and 19. The Senior C Men’s and La-dies provincial championships will take place the following

weekend. The association currently has 26 women’s teams this year and 24 men’s teams. There will be a new ban-tam team this year made up of Delisle and Warman play-ers. The team will be called the Poly Plus Twin City Rage, said Kosteroski. “They are the best bantam under 16 players surrounding Saskatoon and will be heading to Prince Albert this year for Softball Canada’s Under 16 Ca-nadian Championships,” said Kosteroski. The league also added four ladies teams. It now boasts 50 teams altogether. The as-sociation is also marking its 51st year in operation, said Kosteroski. League play kicks off in ear-ly May. The full schedule for all teams is listed on the SASA website at saskatoonamateur-softball. Gordie Howe Park’s 55 year old softball diamond will also undergo renovations with the installation of two new dug-outs, which are scheduled to be ready for next season.

Nine people are facing charg-es relating to a drug investiga-tion by the Saskatoon Integrat-ed Drug Enforcement Street Team (SIDEST). At approximately 9:15 p.m., April 8, with the assistance of the SPS Gang Unit and Patrol, members of SIDEST executed a search warrant on a residence on Galbraith Crescent near Ol-mstead Road in Saskatoon after an investigation into the traf-ficking of cocaine. Six people were taken into custody and officers located 112 grams of cocaine, 2 grams of marihuana and 1 gram of her-oin. They also seized $4000 in cash, a sawed off pellet gun and two pellet handguns. A high-risk vehicle stop was also conducted in relation to this investigation near Idyl-wyld Drive and 39th Street in Saskatoon. Three people were taken into custody and Po-lice seized a total of 46 grams of crack cocaine and $4200 in cash. Two women and seven men are facing CDSA and Criminal Code charges, including; Pos-session for the Purpose of Traf-ficking (Cocaine), Proceeds of Crime Exceeding $5000 and nu-merous breaches. They were scheduled to appear in Provin-cial Court on April 9.

Nine face drug charges

This week, the Canadian Red Cross honours its volunteers during National Volunteer Week, April 12-18. Throughout the year, volun-teers from across the country, generously donate their time to improving the lives of the most vulnerable individuals and communities. With over two million Ca-nadians benefitting from Ca-nadian Red Cross programs and services each year, the val-ue that volunteers bring to the organization is incompara-ble. Over the past year, Cana-dians have relied on dedicated Red Cross volunteers who pro-vide a sense of support and pro-tection with their community presence. More than 20,000 vol-unteers play a critical role in contributing to all programs and services offered by the Red Cross. Volunteering with the Canadian Red Cross provides an opportunity to give back to communities.

Waste & Recycling While some municipalities invoice for waste and recycling fees on monthly utility bills, the City of Martensville has chosen to include waste and recycling collection as a one-time pay-ment as part of property taxes.With service provider increas-es and the development of a new organic site, in order to break-even, household annual fees will increase by $15.00 ($1.25 per month). The last waste and recycling fee increase was in 2012.

Water &Sewer Council will continue to fund a reserve for future waste wa-ter treatment. This will be re-quired in the near future to meet the Ministry of Environ-ment’s regulations. Last Feb-ruary, the City of Martens-ville signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Saskatoon that could see Saskatoon provide water and waste water services to Mar-tensville.The detailed agree-ment and scope of the project need to be negotiated which could be a long term solution for Martensville. The $75.00 base tax amount will contin-ue for 2015.The City has applied for funding under the Building Canada Fund but to date, the project has not been approved. If successful, the Federal and Provincial governments would contribute up to two-thirds of the funds required. The City will continue to explore all fu-ture requirements and funding options to ensure the best solu-tion for Martensville Water rates will increase by 10%. This is due to a Sask Wa-ter rate increase of 7% and an additional 3% to assist with op-erations and water loss costs. A new lift station has been constructed and a new wa-ter pumping station is nearing completion in Lake Vista. The new lift station will accommo-date the development of approx-imately 480 acres of land. When fully built, the new water pump-ing station will accommodate approximately 960 acres of de-velopment.

Emergency & Protective Services

RCMP The former City Hall will be renovated and used for the RCMP. The current RCMP loca-tion will be expanded and ren-ovated to accommodate growth with our current RCMP agree-ment. The remainder of the space will be leased to the RCMP Traffic Safety Enforce-ment Unit. This partnership will result in a much higher visibility of the RCMP in and around Martensville.

Fire Department & Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) A new fire truck (water tank-er) will be purchased. As part of the City’s EMO Plan, the City will participate in the No-tify Now Emergency Notifica-tion System. Should an emer-gency event arise, Notify Now will contact residents via phone lines. The EMO Coordinator will provide more information about the system and processes in the near future.

Infrastructure & Planning An Infrastructure Replace-ment Program and a compre-hensive Asset Management Program will be developed to address aging infrastructure and assets beginning with road-ways. The City will hire an en-gineering assistant to take the lead in asset evaluation. These programs will provide Coun-cil with the tools they need to discuss and select appropriate service levels, make informed decisions due to a better un-derstanding of the benefits and costs of different treatment strategies, improve long term financing and taxation models to maintain the City’s competi-tiveness, and reduce the risk of failures.

Land Development & Land Use Planning To prepare for future develop-ment, engineering and design work will take place at 10th Av-enue North and Main Street east of 10th Avenue. In addition, 10th Avenue North from Main Street to 3rd Street North will be paved. Two hundred and fifty acres of land east of 10th Avenue South has been purchased and

a comprehensive concept plan-ning exercise will take place this year to plan for how the new land, including the entire area east of 10th Avenue will be used. This includes planning for the construction of the new P3 elementary school site north of Main Street. A consultant has also been contracted to up-date the City’s Official Commu-nity Plan and Zoning Bylaw.

Improvements to 4th Street South The reconstruction of 4th Street South will be completed. The road improvements will be funded through General Reve-nue over three years. The first phase (2015) includes design of the entire roadway (Centenni-al Drive to 8th Avenue), recon-struction between 6th Avenue and 8th Avenue, and an investi-gation into traffic calming mea-sures for decision by Council in the near future. Phase two (2016) includes reconstruction between 3rd Avenue and 6th Avenue. Phase three (2017) in-cludes reconstruction between Centennial Drive and 3rd Ave-nue.

Centennial Drive North A crosswalk will be installed on Centennial Drive North at 3rd Street North. The cross walk may be installed prior to lighting or signals as the best option for the area is deter-mined. As part of the crosswalk installation, a pathway will be constructed from 3rd Street North to Main Street on the west side of Centennial Drive.The finished areas will include an asphalt path while the areas where we are waiting for com-mercial construction, will in-clude a granular pathway.

Martensville active adult residential complex now under construction


Construction is well under-way on a new active adult res-idential complex in Martens-ville. The 24-unit Chateau Villa is expected to be ready for occu-pancy in the spring of 2016, ac-cording to Kelly Bedient, sales and marketing specialist with Bridge Road Developments. “Construction is in full swing right now,” said Bedient in an interview on Thursday, April 9. “It generally takes 12 to 13 months for the construction process.” The sod was officially turned at the site of the three-storey complex on January 21, but the project actually started several years ago with the formation of the Martensville Housing De-velopment Committee, a com-munity-based group looking to increase older adults’ indepen-dent living accommodations

in Martensville. The group ex-plored a number of options and eventually contracted with Bridge Road Developments, a company which has completed a number of similar projects in communities throughout Mani-toba and Saskatchewan. Bedient said interest in the new complex is high, and the company is fielding an increas-ing number of calls. She noted that there are still suites avail-able on all floors, and an early sign-up promotion is now on. “Those that sign up early can get first pick on their units, a free front-load washer and dry-er pair, as well as input on de-cor selections and upgrade op-tions,” she said. “We are also waiving the $300 administra-tion fee for upgrades for those that qualify.” Bedient said the location of the complex in the new Lake Vista neighbourhood is very close to a number of recreation-al and cultural amenities, in-

cluding the Martensville Ath-letic Pavilion, Martensville Aquatic Centre, and Kinsmen Park. In late May, Bridge Road De-velopments is hosting a bus tour to Biggar so potential buy-ers can view firsthand a simi-lar building already in opera-tion. Bedient said in addition to the Martensville project, the company is just finishing up projects in Kipling and Battle-ford, and has three other new buildings going up this year in Humboldt, Swift Current and Unity. “There’s lots on the go right now,” she said. “We are work-ing on opening up the third phase of our existing facility in Carman, Manitoba.” Interested individuals can contact Bridge Road sales and marketing representatives Kel-ly Bedient at -1-866-859-8211 or Tamara McMurren at 1-855-834-6318.

MODERN LIVING

One point of concern ad-dressed at the Affinity Credit Union annual meeting on April 1 was the impending closure of twelve branches, including Hepburn, Osler and Laird, slat-ed for later this year. Affinity Credit Union Rosthern Branch Manager Maxine Vasani was pleased with the turnout at the AGM. She expected the closure issue would come up, but was confi-dent members had their ques-tions answered in community consultations prior to the an-nual meeting. “We had a really good meet-ing where our management team apprised our member-

ship of some of the great work that Affinity is doing, along with our financial results,” said Vasani. “We had a num-ber of questions from members across the province about Af-finity’s operations, and only one question about the clo-sures. Affinity has done a lot of work in March conducting community meetings in the af-fected branch communities and I think the member concerns were well addressed through those meetings.” Rosthern is her primary branch, but Vasani also man-ages the Laird, Osler, Hague and Bellevue branches. She says the impact the closures will have on the Rosthern Branch specifically will be rel-atively small.

By KATE [email protected]

Credit Union members take branch closures in stride “We may see some folks trav-el in to our Rosthern branch, but also expect that they will utilize our Waldheim branch, or any other branch that is on their regular travel route, in-cluding locations in Saskatoon or Martensville. Affini-ty has decided not to change our members’ accounts to an-other branch en masse, and will rather let our members choose the most convenient ac-cess point to have their service needs met. We have always had a close connection between our Rosthern branch and the community of Laird, as lend-ing and investment services have historically been complet-ed at Rosthern.” Vasani said the credit union hopes to see those relation-

ways and Infrastructure to incorporate the overpass at the main entrance to Martensville.

Recreation & Community Services The budget will continue to fund operating and capital costs, continue upgrades, and provide new facilities, parks, playgrounds, pathways and programs. An additional staff member with training in horticulture practices has been hired to assist in landscape and tree maintenance, and to establish maintenance standards of exist-ing horticulture areas as well as new areas being established. Front landscaping at Martensville Athletic Pavilion, including sod, trees, plantings and irrigation will be completed. Two donated art pieces will be installed near the front entrance of the facility. Operations and programming at this new facility will also be fine-tuned. Lighting at the 30 year-old Martensville Sports Centre Are-

na will be upgraded to energy efficient LED lighting. Work on the new ball diamonds will continue with completion of the two east senior ball diamonds including irrigation, back-stops/fencing installation and seeding. The east diamonds will be playable within two years. The two west diamonds will be usable this year with the development of a pathway from the parking area on 9th Avenue North. As part of the Kinsmen Park Master Plan, outdoor fitness equipment purchased last year for Kinsmen Park will be installed. The Tree Planting Program will continue within parks, greenspaces, buffers and drainage ways.

Economic Development Marketing Martensville as a place to live and invest in will con-tinue. In 2015 the focus will be on marketing the Lake Vista subdi-vision, Black Iron Crossing and Lake Vista Common.

ships continue on as they have for many years. “We are committed to our members, and hope to help them find ways to do their business with us, whether that is through electronic means, through our contact center, or at any one of our branches in communities they travel to,” she said. “We also have staff that can meet members at lo-cations that are convenient for them. “In our current model, our agriculture lending staff vis-its their members right at their farms where it’s convenient for the member to do so, and we’ve expanded our mobile spe-cialists to meet with members about their investing and bor-rowing needs.

Affinity reports strong results for 2014

Affinity Credit Union held its Annual General Meet-ing On Wednesday April 1 in Saskatoon, with live webcasts streamed to satellight meet-ings in Langham, Rosthern, Kamsack, Regina, Marcelin, Melfort, Prince Albert, Stras-bourg, and Estevan. The event in Rosthern was hosted by staff of the Rosthern Affinity Credit Union and was held at the Community Multi-purpose Centre at Rosthern El-ementary School. The AGM is a regulatory re-quirement for credit unions so they can report to the members on the financial performance for the prior year and share the results of the Delegate and Di-rector elections.

DIRECTOR ELECTIONS In District One (represent-ed by Hague, Bellevue, Osler, Rosthern, Laird and Aberdeen) the following positions were de-clared elected by acclamation: Vanda Wutzke (Aberdeen); Ty-ler Dueck (Osler); Don Reimer (Rosthern). Continuing on as District One delegates are Hen-ry Dyck (Hague); Lise Gareau (Bellevue); Glen Grismer (Osler); Terry Hinz (Rosthern); Henry Penner (Hague); Katrina Regier (Laird); Leo Schulz (Rosthern). In District Seven (represent-ing Waldheim, Langham, Mar-tensville, Borden, Hepburn and Dalmeny) the following po-sitions were declared elected by acclamation: Peggy Walker (Borden); Mike McLeod (Mar-tensville). Continuing on as District Seven delegates are Pe-ter Block (Waldheim); Donna Epp (Langham); Evelyn Kasa-hoff (Langham); Deborah Ann McGuire (Martensville); Mike McLeod (Martensville); Eric Pearce (Borden); Karen Stobbe (Hepburn); Bev Turgeon (Mar-tensville); Geraldine Wain-wright (Borden); Gerard Wild (Dalmeny).

LARGE TURNOUT AT AGM Affinity Credit Union takes this annual opportunity to share the prior year’s accom-plishments as well as talk about future strategies and di-rection for the Credit Union. Ample opportunity was giv-en for questions at all locations so each community could take part and be heard in this infor-mation session. Affinity Credit Union Vice President Governance and Strategy Shawna Miller says it is important to involve as many of their members as possible. “Because Affinity Cred-it Union is a province-wide or-ganization with a disbursed branch network, we wanted to make sure the meeting was convenient for our members to attend, so we chose to web-cast the live meeting to nine lo-cations across the province,” said Miller. “We’re very pleased with the attendance at all of the meeting locations. We had over five hundred people take part in the webcast, including those who watched the live stream-ing video from the comfort of their own home.”

STRONG GROWTH IN 2014 As stated in the AGM, 2014 was another year of strong growth and profitability for Af-finity Credit Union reflecting the continued strength in local Saskatchewan economies over much of the year. Annual results reflected an overall increase of 9.5% in managed assets, which grew to exceed $5.3 billion and net op-erating income of $31.5 mil-lion. Financial success in 2014 enabled the credit union to continue with its goals of fu-eling economic development and community sustainability across the province. Highlights of the cred-it union’s finanical report in-clude: •100%ofmemberloanswere

financed by member depos-its: $3.9 billion in deposits pro-viding for over 51,000 member loans for home mortgages, busi-nesses, farmers and consum-ers. •$19.6millioninloanstosmall business start-ups, non-profit organizations and com-munity enterprise initiatives including financing for the con-struction of a new childcare fa-cility in Shellbrook, the devel-opment of affordable seniors’ housing in Warman and start-up financing for a micro-brew-ery in Nokomis.

million in financing to build-ers and developers. In turn, 2,040 new entry-level homes have been built or are under construction to ease entry-level housing demands. •Loanportfoliogrewby8.76%to$3.5billion,depositsincreased by 9.42% to $3.9 bil-lion, asset growth increased by 9.5% to $4.3 billion, return on equity of 9.54%, Achieved Tier 1 capital level of 12.09% and re-turn on assets (after tax) was 0.76%

COMMUNITY INVESTMENT Affinity CEO CEO Mark Lane said: “Building on our co-

operative roots, we continue to deepen our commitment to val-ues-based banking – in how we operate, how we support and engage with member-owners and how we reinvest member deposits and profits in our com-munities. Our ultimate goal is to foster healthy communities and productive economies.” Affinity Credit Union con-tinues to strive to build a bet-ter world through donations of funds and volunteer hours with 100% of their profits staying in Saskatchewan. •Contributed$2.1millionindonations, sponsorships, grants to community organizations

Martensville man charged in assaultinvestigation which included a review of video from inside and outside of the bar, a collection of forensic evidence and numer-ous witness interviews of peo-ple who were identified as em-ployees and patrons of the bar. “Witnesses have described an altercation between two men outside of the establish-ment which resulted in a brief physical exchange and then an assault upon the victim, who was pushed or thrown to the ground by the suspect where the trauma to the victim’s head is believed to have been caused,” said Gherasim.

Warman Fire Rescue’s (WFR) weekly training exercise on Wednes-day, April 8 focused on ice rescue techniques. Utilizing the thin ice on Deer Bay pond in Warman, WFR members conducted a sim-ulated, but nonetheless dramatic, ice rescue. WFR Deputy Chief Russ Austin explained that the simulated scenario involved a child falling through the thin ice. The situation was complicated when the child’s father, in an attempted rescue, also fell through. “Both were quickly rescued by Warman Fire Rescue Techs,” said Austin. Though both mannequins didn’t speak, they seemed happy to be out of the frigid water!” The City of Warman has posted warn-ing signs at the edge of all its surface water retention ponds to alert residents of the danger of thin ice.
