Redeployment of city police officers won’t impact joint SPS-RCMP units, says Weighill

By TERRY [email protected]


The decision to beef up the number of Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) officers on city streets won’t cut into the ef-fectiveness of joint SPS-RC-MP drug enforcement units, according to SPS Chief Clive Weighill. Last week, the SPS unveiled plans to redeploy 16 SPS of-ficers from various units to street patrols in an effort to in-crease visibility and discourage street crimes. At a news conference at SPS headquarters on Wednesday, April 1, Weighill said the po-lice service originally intended to redeploy 24 members, but re-duced that number to 16. Moving any more than that would seriously impair the SPS’s effectiveness in other ar-eas, said Weighill. “We were really trying

Saskatoon Police Chief Clive Weighill says the integrity of investigative units will remain intact following the implementation of a redeployment plan that will see more city police officers on street duty.

to find 24 positions,” said Weighill. “We had a good con-sensus on 16 positions that could be reassigned to street patrols, but as we tried to push it higher than that we found that we were really critically impairing some of our other op-erations and our other units.” Weighill said he felt that add-ing 16 more officers to street duty “was a really good step.” The redeployment will like-ly happen June 1 or July 1, de-pending on discussions with the police officers union con-cerning the current contract. The 16 SPS members being redeployed include: four from the traffic division, one from the school resource officer pro-gram, one from the cultural relations program, one from human resources, one crime analyst, one person from the graffiti unit, one from profes-sional standards (internal af-fairs), one from a division ad-

The tenders to design and build two interchanges at Warman and Martensville are being released this month by the provincial Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure. The provincial government committed $7.5 million to the projects when the interchang-es were announced in the pro-vincial budget last month. One is slated to be built on Highway 11 at Warman’s Central Street entrance, and the other is on Highway 12 at Martensville’s Main Street entrance. In an interview shortly af-ter the release of the budget, Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said the funds allocated to the in-terchanges will be used for land acquisition and geotechni-cal work as well as the design. She also stated the government wants to start initial work on the construction later this year. In addition to the tenders for interchanges, Highways also released tenders for upgrad-ing Highway 11 at key intersec-tions. The projects include re-surfacing of the on-ramp from Cory Industrial Park to High-way 11, two acceleration lanes at Lutheran Road, and intersec-tion improvements at the new Highway 305 Highway 11 junc-tion. The acceleration lanes at Lu-theran Road should help ease issues with semi-trucks merg-ing onto the highway. An estimated 18,000 vehi-cles per day travel on High-way 11 between Warman and Saskatoon. The tender for rehabilitation work on the Highway 16 bridge over Highway 11 is also being released this month.

Former Borden councilor seeks Sask Party nomination


Jamie Brandrick of Borden is seeking the Sask Party nomina-tion for the constituency of Sas-katoon-Riversdale. The nomina-tion meeting is slated for May 5. Brandrick was twice-elected to the Borden village council. He served one full term, and re-signed from the village council earlier this spring to seek the provincial nomination for the governing party. The former Mayor of Borden, Dave Buckingham, recently won the nomination in the con-stituency of Saskatoon-West-view. Buckingham resigned from the Borden council at the same time as Brandrick. Brandrick, 37, said in an in-terview on Monday, April 6 that running for provincial political office has been a goal of his for many years. “This is something I’ve been thinking about since my early 20s,” said Brandrick. “I didn’t really ever think I’d have the chance. But the experience of serving on the Borden munic-ipal council, particularly dur-ing the period two years ago when we were dealing with se-rious flooding, really showed me the importance of govern-ment being there to help people in times of need.” Brandrick said his experi-ence on the village council gave him a good understanding of the benefits of cooperation be-tween different levels of govern-ment. He added that he is also a firm believer in partnerships between neighbouring munici-palities. “Being an MLA will obvi-ously be a lot of work, but it was also a lot of work being on the village council,” said Bran-drick. “It was also very reward-ing, particularly when you’re able to find solutions to prob-lems and provide answers to people’s questions and con-cerns. “I was invited by Randy Weekes, MLA for Biggar, to go

ministration job, one from the vice unit, and four from the street gang unit. “We feel very confident that we can still keep on top of what is happening with the street gangs,” said Weighill. “That still leaves ten members in our unit, and they will be amal-gamated probably within the next couple of months with an-other unit in targeted enforce-ment areas, so we will still have lots of enforcement on the gangs. “We will have good coverage on our streets and plus we still maintain the integrity of our investigative units.”

TRAFFIC, DRUG UNITS Weighill said taking four of-ficers from the traffic unit may sound like a lot, but he noted the new integrated traffic unit made up of SPS members and RCMP members is responsi-ble for enforcing traffic laws in

Saskatoon and the surrounding region. “This unit will be in the city about 30 per cent of the time,” said Weighill. “That will take up some of the loss. Plus we have photo radar and red light cameras so we’re using the ef-ficiency of those systems as well.” Weighill said no officers from the drug unit will be rede-ployed. “We did look at that unit, but we felt it was prudent, because of what was happening here in the city recently, to leave it in-tact,” said Weighill. “It’s an in-tegrated unit with the RCMP, so we will have full member-ship on both sides.” He said the RCMP will not be saddled with picking up addi-tional duties as a result of the SPS redeployment. “Our drug unit is the same size it was be-fore, so that hasn’t been altered at all,” he said.

The RM of Aberdeen is hop-ing to make it safer for its resi-dents and for surrounding com-munities with the adoption of a Joint Community Safety Offi-cer. The idea was developed to deal with the increase of sto-len items such as fuel, snow-mobiles, vehicles and garage break-ins from residences in the R.M. Martin Bettker, Reeve of the RM of Aberdeen, is also hoping that a police presence will help deal with people who are not obeying speed limits, and stop truck drivers from driving on restricted roadways in the RM during road ban season. “The biggest thing is the visi-

bility of a police presence in the RM,” said Bettker. “The fact is that people will now know that he is out there, but no one would know where he is.” The RM of Aberdeen origi-nally thought about adopting a Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) program introduced two years ago which would allow RMs to hire an RCMP officer. The only problem is field-ing the cost, which would be around the $140,000 range. That amount that is too pricey for the RM, said Bettker. Instead, the RM is choosing to look within its own staff to come up with a solution. Right now the RM has a by-law enforcement officer, Mike Hulbert, who has military ex-perience and was an auxilia-ry police officer in Wainwright,

RM of Aberdeen looking at community safety officerBy JAMES TARRANT

[email protected]. Bettker said Hulbert has ex-pressed an interest in becom-ing a municipal police officer for the RM of Aberdeen. The only issue to resolve with his updated role is how the cost of having a joint com-munity safety officer will be shared with other communi-ties. The RM of Aberdeen is un-like the RMs of Corman Park and Vanscoy, which are able to take advantage of potash reve-nue to afford their own Chief of Police, or even a multi-person police force, said Bettker. “I think Vanscoy and Corman Park get a couple mil-lion in potash revenue and we get $200,000, so it’s not economi-

cally feasible for us to have our own police officer,” said Bettk-er. Bettker said a joint enforce-ment officer covering more than one municipality would be more cost effective. “We looked at the idea of hav-ing a joint officer with the RMs of Blucher and Grant and the Towns of Aberdeen, and Von-da to figure out how much he would be in each RM and how we would cost share for that,” said Bettker. “There are over 200 kilo-meters of road in the RM of Aberdeen alone, so RMs and other municipalities would have to figure out how to pay for the joint officer out of their budgets,” said Bettker.

David Buckingham won a contested nomination on Sun-day, March 29 to become the Saskatchewan Party candidate in Saskatoon Westview for the next provincial election. “I feel so honoured to be cho-sen to represent Saskatoon Westview,” Buckingham said. “I will continue to earn the sup-port of everyone in the constit-uency.” Buckingham has been a com-mercial driver for Jack Cooper Transport for the past 36 years. In addition to this, Bucking-ham has stayed active in the community as a former vol-unteer firefighter in Borden, Member and past President of Borden Parks and Recreation, and recently served as May-or of the Village of Borden. In his spare time he loves to spend time travelling and fishing. Buckingham and his wife Karen, have three children and three grandchildren. “I think we have a great op-portunity to keep Saskatch-ewan strong,” Buckingham said. “I believe we can contin-ue building on the strong foun-dation that the Sask Party has established. I believe that Saskatoon Westview deserves a voice of representation in the Government.” Buckingham said he’s excited to be running in the next elec-tion. “I have always believed that Premier Brad Wall’s leadership is exemplary, and I am very much looking forward to being part of the Saskatchewan Par-ty team,” Buckingham said. “I cannot wait to serve and work with the constituents of Saskatoon Westview.” With Buckingham’s nom-ination as the candidate for Saskatoon Westview the Sas-katchewan Party has nominat-ed 55 candidates for the next provincial election.

The RM of Aberdeen is choosing to hold off on first reading of a proposed 18-hole golf course and residential de-velopment until June. The developer, Carmen Pras-ki, owner of Pinnacle Estates and Golf Club in Saskatoon, proposed the development to the RM of Aberdeen two years ago. The 470 acre development, which will be called Paradise Estates, will include 310 homes and a golf club house to go along with the course. The RM’s planning depart-ment is also working on how to amend the RM of Aberdeen’s bylaw to proceed with the de-velopment, said Martin Bettker, Reeve of the RM of Aberdeen. “Our bylaw supports this kind of development as long as it is with recreation and the golf course fills that recreation requirement. But we still have to amend the bylaw to fit this specific type of development and our planner wants to make sure it is done properly so it protects the RM,” said Bettker. The developer still has to deal with sewage issues and get its surface water drainage plan

approved by the province’s Wa-ter Security Agency (WSA). The sewage system used by the developer will be unique for Aberdeen, said Bettker “The option he is going with is called a Proteus Water Sys-tem. They use it a lot in Europe and a development in B.C. has used it as well. There is a se-rious of liners and filters that process the solid waste, which can be used as fertilizer,” said Bettker. “They will also have a series of ponds that will hold the filtered, treated water, which can then be used to re-ir-rigate the golf course.” Currently the RM of Aberdeen does not have a la-goon, so future developments fall under the Provincial Minis-try of Health, said Bettker. “Right now the size of our developments is dependent on a mound system. Most of our acreages are five acres, so with a mound system the water goes into the mound and evapo-rates.” Bettker, who supports the de-velopment, expects to give it first reading this summer. “There are ups and downs with every development. With an increase in population come other issues that have to be dealt with, but I think in all we are willing to look at it and give it first reading and then go through the proper channels,” said Bettker. “We would have to have a public hearing and see what our ratepayers say. We real-ly can’t make a decision until then.”

The City of Saskatoon held a public open house for its North Sector Plan at Bishop James Mahoney High School in Saskatoon on Tuesday, March 31. The goal of the open house is to hear feedback from the public, which so far has been positive, said Allan Wallace, Director of Planning and De-velopment with the City of Saskatoon. “A lot of people were curi-ous about the transportation system, the difference between light and heavy industrial, the uses around Wanuskewin Heri-tage Park, the swale and why it is important,” said Wallace. “Those kind of things caught their attention but I think for the most part people are just curious about the rationale for light and heavy industrial; why it is placed where it is and what zoning would be applied.” Wallace also stressed that right now the North Sector Plan is just a draft and is sub-ject to change depending on the feedback received from the pub-lic by April 17. The location of the North Sector development is east of Highway 16 North, south of what will be the Perimeter Highway route and Highway 11 North. The sector route also extends west of the South Saskatche-wan River and north of 71st Street. Its total 1,950 hectares (4819 acres) size is anticipated to employ approximately 36,000 employees when complete. The city’s vision for the North Sector is to facilitate eco-nomic development opportu-nities by expanding the City’s north employment area. The industrial area is expected to generate employment oppor-tunities, accommodate a wide range of industrial develop-ment and provide goods and services not only for the city but surrounding region. The sector plan will cater to fully-serviced light industrial, commercial and business park developments and possibly have an urban reserve with po-tential provisions for new rec-reational facilities. Some of the transportation options will include walking, bicycling and transit as well as accommodating automobile, rail and trucking industries. Right now a portion of the North Sector land is contained in the RM of Corman Park, but is part of an annexation agree-ment the city made with the RM. Pending approval from the province the lands will be handed over to the city by Au-gust 1 if no amendments need to be made. Wallace said landowners who live in this area can expect taxes to rise when more servic-es are added. “More services means a fully assessed value because you can do more with that land,” said Wallace. The next step for the city is to summarize their feedback from the public consultation and await necessary changes if they arise.

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.

Big difference between operational budget and capital budget for Prairie Spirit School Division

The patience of Saskatche-wan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart would be admirable, were there some probability our problems could be solved with more patience. But when it comes to the railways and the federal government`s inability to deal with them effectively, the pa-tience of most everyone else has run out. The thought crossed one’s mind during question peri-od last week when Stewart was asked by the NDP’s Cathy Sproule why he wasn’t pressur-ing federal Agriculture Minis-ter Gerry Ritz to have the fed-eral cabinet reinstate the Order in Council legally requiring the two rail companies to move a minimum volume of agricul-ture product. While Ritz said there is no need for the law because the rail companies are 25- to 30-per cent ahead of last year’s pace, others are not so generous. According to the AG Trans-port Coalition, through the first 30 weeks of the current crop year, the railways have failed to supply 23,295 hopper cars that were ordered by shippers; an 11 per cent shortfall. Of course, both CN and CP deny this assessment. CP Pres-ident Hunter Harrison went so far as to say in a newsletter ear-lier in the year: ‘‘The use of pub-lic funds to drive a single, self-serving agenda under the guise of solving a large complex supply chain issue is unconscionable.‘‘ There again, many oth-ers would view Harrison; who made $17.6 million in salary, share options, bonuses and oth-er benefits; as having his own self-serving agenda. ‘‘Given the current indus-try structure, it is unrealistic to expect that competitive forc-es will improve the railway per-formance,‘‘ Arlynn Kurtz, vice-president of the Agriculture

Railways try farmers’ patience

Producers Association of Sas-katchewan told the Saskatoon Star Phoenix. ‘‘Producers continue to face incredibly reduced revenues at local elevators, unreliable ser-vice and cash flow constraints at a time when we are prepar-ing for our most significant capital investment time of the growing year.‘‘ Admittedly, Hunter and Ritz are right that the problems are complex one that still require some time to sort out. But while politicians to vary-ing degrees can preach patience or, in the case of Ritz, make ex-cuses for the ineffectiveness of the federal law, farmers have run out of patience. And it now

parents.” Based on my obser-vations, I trust the PSSD more than the political advertising of the government in this case. There is a big difference be-tween the operational budget and the capital budget. The gov-ernment is quick to divert the discussion away from the op-erational shortfall by present-ing all of the capital funding for new schools and structural re-newal. The real problem is the $6 million operational short-

fall. The letter from the PSSD clearly shows that the funding per student has dropped sig-nificantly over the course of 3 YEARS; this is not speculation this is factual. The new education funding model introduced in 2012 was intended to fund school divi-sions equitably so that all stu-dents in the province receive similar learning opportunities. But the funding model fails to fund Prairie Spirit equita-

bly. Prairie Spirit now receives $1000 to $4,000 less per student than 11 other school divisions in Saskatchewan. This equates to $10 to $40 million less overall for the school division’s operational budget. Since 2012, three average school divisions (including PSSD) with 14% of the popula-tion have shouldered 66% of the reallocated funds. As a result, these school divisions have lost

millions of dollars from their operational budgets. I have observed over the past couple of years how the budget constraints have forced the di-vision to be more frugal in its spending, but it is clear that we have reached a critical tipping point and that with more fund-ing cuts we will be compromis-ing the quality of the education in the PSSD and cutting pro-grams like school band. Because education is impor-

tant, my wife and I spend count-less hours supporting the PSSD on school community councils, band parents association, and substitute bus driving. All citizens of PSSD should demand the Department of Ed-ucation to closely examine the “Funding Model” developed in 2012 and to immediately pro-vide interim funding to bring equity to our students for the 2015-2016 budget.

appears they have been joined by the rest of the Saskatchewan business community. According to a recent study by the Conference Board of Canada, the constraints being imposed by the railways will now make it very difficult for Premier Brad Wall‘s govern-ment to achieve the goal in its Plan for Growth of doubling provincial exports to $59 billion by 2020. Louis Theriault, vice-presi-dent of public policy for the Ot-tawa-based Conference Board, said that translates into need-ing to move 20 million more tonnes annually by 2020 that would include nine million more tonnes of potash, six mil-lion more tonnes of oil and five million more tonnes of agri-food products. If only 80 per cent of the tar-get is reached, it will cost the Saskatchewan economy $3.6 bil-lion. And reaching 90 per cent of the goal will still cost the

province $1.8 billion. Steve McLellan, CEO of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce that commissioned the study because of the grain backlogs that cost Western farmers $5.1 billion in lost sales in the 2013-14 crop year, noted the study also showed current transportation infrastructure suggests there is only enough capacity to reach 71 per cent of that 2020 target. Considering the severity of the problem as outlined in the study, one might assume Stew-art, Wall and the rest of the Sask. Party government should also be running out of patience when it comes to the ceaseless battle with the railways. McLellan also questioned Ot-tawa‘s decision to drop the pen-alties imposed on the railway for not moving product. When even business wants penalties imposed on the rail-way business, it would seem ev-eryone has run out of patience.

A $700 million debt is a30 year promise

There were exactly 12 babies born in Regina on March 18 – the day the Saskatchewan government released its 2015 budget. We’ve made an implicit promise to this darling dozen. In the 2015 budget the provincial government borrowed $700 million. Those 12 kids will have to help pay for that $700 million debt as young adults, but in the year 2045, on their 30th birthdays, that debt will be completely repaid. If we keep our promise. The Sask. government unveiled a new budgeting plan this year. The operational budget, primarily made up of govern-ment employee salaries, has enough tax dollars allocated to it to pay for expenses and therefore it’s balanced. However, the government added a second budget, a capital budget, which it’s using to build infrastructure such as roads, bridges, schools and hospitals. Their spending plan on capital nearly doubled from last year, which unsurprisingly left them with a shortfall. So the government filled the gap in its capital budget by rack-ing up a $700 million debt. The Sask. government points out that borrowing to build isn’t unusual. Businesses take out loans to increase production. Crown corporations borrow to expand services. Families sign mortgages to buy homes. But there are key differences between those types of borrowing and Saskatchewan’s $700 million dive into debt. When businesses and Crowns borrow, there’s virtually al-ways a plan to use that capital to increase revenues. Some of that revenue will be available to pay off the loan. Infrastruc-ture is important, but it doesn’t directly generate revenue. There is only one way to pay the debt for government projects: taxes. When families take out mortgages, the banks are rather rig-id about repayment. If a homeowner misses payments, the bank forecloses on the house. With government projects, it’s different. Bond fund managers don’t repossess hospitals or highways. Fortunately (for them), they don’t have to. When gov-ernments run into repayment problems, the bond market in-creases borrowing rates and forces irresponsible governments to start making payments and/or pour more and more money into servicing the growing debt. The reality is that government debt isn’t secured by assets, it’s secured by the ability of tax-payers to pay (and pay more if necessary). The Sask. government does have a repayment plan for its new $700 million in debt. In the 2015 budget, it commits to save 2 per cent of the debt each year so that, with interest, the whole $700 million debt can be paid off when the loans come due in 30 years. Now, that depends on governments diligently making those 2 per cent payments annually and resisting the tempta-tion to raid the piggy bank for 30 years. Early on the Sask. Party government paid down significant amounts of the province’s debt, but since 2012 the Saskatche-wan government hasn’t reduced the billions it still owes. Four years is a long time in politics, let alone 30. It will be up to voters in the next seven or eight elections to keep our prom-ise to those 12 babies born on budget day and make sure this $700 million debt is paid by their 30th birthday.

Catholic school division gears up fornew schools in Martensville and Warman


With new joint-use elementary schools set to open in the fall of 2017 in Mar-tensville and Warman, the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools (GSCS) division is looking for public input into the finer details of the schools prior to the start of construction this summer. The GSCS is also hoping to raise public awareness of the Catholic education option for parents. “These are both new areas for our school division,” said GSCS Director of Ed-ucation Greg Chatlain. “Each community is different, and we need to under-stand the needs of each community so we can tailor our programs to meet those needs.” Speaking at a public meeting organized by the GSCS at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Martensville on Wednesday, April 1, Chatlain said the school division “has a lot of decisions to make” over the coming months. He not-ed the GSCS is working in partnership with the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) to ensure the design of the joint-use schools meet the requirements of both the Catholic and Public School systems.

EVALUATING RFP BIDS The two new schools in Warman and Martensville are among 18 joint-use schools that were announced by the provincial government in October, 2013. In February, 2014, a five-day consultation involving school division board members and staff, parents, community members and students, was held in Saskatoon to map out essential design elements for the schools. These design el-ements were included in a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued to the construction industry in October, 2014. All 18 schools are being built under the P3 model. GSCS Superintendent of Education John McAuliffe said three teams of con-tractors and financiers were chosen to submit bids on the RFP. The submissions from these three proponents will be evaluated by the province next month, and a final decision on the successful bidder will be made at that time. “June, 2015 is the target date for selecting the preferred proponent teams to build the new schools,” said McAuliffe. “There will be one team selected for the Regina area schools and another team selected for the Saskatoon-area schools, which include those in Warman and Martensville. After the successful propo-nent is selected, then the detailed design work will be done.” McAuliffe said the target date for the start of construction of both schools is August, 2015. “There will be surveying, some earth moving and other work being done ahead of that,” said McAuliffe.

TWO SCHOOLS IN ONE “Each school will have three distinct parts,” said McAuliffe. “There is a Cath-olic school, a public school, and a central area between the two. There is one building envelope connecting the entire facility with shared mechanical and electrical systems, but it will be two schools within that envelope; and each school will have its own individual mandate.” The building, which will be built to meet energy-efficiency and accessibility standards, will have three separate and identifiable entrances, said McAuliffe. The central portion will house a 90-space licensed childcare centre and a pub-lic area, as well as three gymnasiums. McAuliffe said one gymnasium will be larger than the other two. A stage area will be attached to the larger gym. The Catholic schools in Warman and Martensville will be designed to accom-modate 400 students each, while the public schools will accommodate 650 stu-dents each, said McAuliffe. The Martensville school is slated to be built in the Lake Vista neighbourhood just to the north of Parr Hill Road. The school site is located next to a future mu-nicipal park that the City of Martensville will be developing. The Warman school will be built on a site in the new Traditions neighbour-hood in Warman’s north end; west of Centennial Boulevard and north of Club-house Boulevard. A municipal park will likewise be located near the school.

Public input sought for new schools

COMMUNITY INPUT Chatlain told the public meeting in Martensville that the decision-making process involving community input will be starting very soon. “We need to look at the grade configuration for the schools, for example,” said Chatlain. “Will they be K-8 schools? We’re also looking at programing options, such as French immersion and band.” Chatlain said residents of Warman and Martensville who are of the Catho-lic faith have the option of enrolling their children in the new Catholic school. The same applies to residents in rural areas surrounding the two cities that fall within the GSCS division boundaries. A decision on whether residents outside the GSCS division boundaries may also enroll their children in the Catholic schools is a subject that still has to be negotiated with PSSD, said Chatlain. Among the key decisions are the naming of the schools, said Chatlain. “The name is very important,” he said. “We encourage residents to suggest a name for their school. We’ll be taking suggestions till mid-May, and then a re-view committee will shortlist the possible names and make recommendations to the board of education, which will ultimately choose the name for each school in either late June or August, 2015.” School community councils will be established in the year prior to the open-ing of the school in September, 2017, said Chatlain. Chatlain said the school naming process offers a way to generate interest in the new schools in particular, and the Catholic education option in general. In-formation on the GSCS division and suggestion forms for school names is avail-able online at www.scs.sk.ca . “As a school division we want to hear from the community,” said Chatlain. “We want to hear your desires and needs and we want to try and work with you to bring those to fruition.”

ENROLMENT OF STUDENTS Chatlain said in December, 2015, the GSCS division will ask for an “expres-sion of interest” from Catholic parents of school-age children in both communi-ties regarding grades and program options. “This is not a formal commitment, but simply allows the board to plan,” said Chatlain. “Formal registration will begin in December, 2016. This will allow the board to make final determinations regarding grades, programs, and enrolment projection; and allow for final staffing and transportation decisions for the fall of 2017.” GSCS is made up of 45 schools representing Saskatoon, Biggar, Humboldt, Martensville, Warman and Viscount. There are approximately 16,700 students from pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 in the system. The GSCS division is gov-erned by a 10-member elected board of education, with seven members from Saskatoon and three from the rural areas. Wayne Stuss, who lives in the RM of Aberdeen, is the elected trustee for the Warman and Martensville area.

Lions Club brings back

Walk for Dogs

The Martensville Lions Club is hoping dog-owners in the region will join in a fundraising event on Sun-day, May 31. Martensville Lions Club President Syl Serblowski said the organization is organizing a Walk for Dog Guides on that day as a way of raising mon-ey for the Lions Foundation of Cana-da’s Dog Guides program. “We haven’t done it for a number of years,” said Serblowski in an in-terview. “But there’s a renewed inter-est in the program among club mem-bers and it’s a really worthwhile initiative.” An estimated 200 communi-ties across Canada hold similar lo-cal fundraising walks, and over the years the events have raised over $10 million. The Lions Foundation of Cana-da Dog Guides program is designed to assist Canadians with medical or physical disabilities by providing them with Dog Guides at no cost. Serblowski said it costs the Lions Foundation roughly $25,000 to train each dog for their specific tasks. “That’s why events like this are so important,” he said. “The foundation relies on the generosity of Canadians to keep the program going.” The Dog Guides program trains dogs in a number of disciplines, in-cluding Canine Vision for the visu-ally impaired; Hearing Dogs for deaf and hard of hearing people; Autism Assistance Guide Dogs for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder; Service Dog Guides for people with physical disabilities; Seizure Response Dogs for people with epilepsy; and even Di-abetic Alert Guide Dogs for people with Type One Diabetes. “These dogs can sense when peo-ple are going to have a diabetic re-action, before the people are aware of it,” said Serblowski. “I don’t know how they sense it, but they do.” Pledge forms are available through various animal hospitals and pet supply stores in Martens-ville, Warman and other commu-nities in the region, or people can contact Doug Ward, Special Events Chair of the Martensville Lions Club at 306-384-2283. The walk will be held in Martens-ville’s Kinsmen Park on Sunday, May 31, with registration at 2 p.m. and the walk at 3 p.m. A barbecue for participants is planned for 4 p..m.

Martensville High School (MHS) is hosting a school-wide fundraiser later this month. Breanne Cooper, a teacher at MHS who is involved with the Project Change student club, said the school has earned one of the limited edition Ford and Free the Children Drive 4 UR Community events. “We have been paired with Merlin Ford Lincoln for this unique fundraiser,” said Coo-per. “Merlin Ford Lincoln will be bringing brand new vehicles to the front of MHS on Thurs-day, April 23 for a test drive event.” For each test drive that takes place at the school between 4:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Ford of Can-ada will donate $20 to Project Change. “The students have decided to donate half of the proceeds raised to Free the Children’s Education Pillar while using the remainder of the money to support local initiatives,” said Cooper. More information will be re-leased once details are final-ized. The event will be happen-ing on the same evening as the Annual Artists’ United Eve-ning.

Everybody always enjoys a good party. And even though July 1 may seem like light years away, it’s coming up quicker than you might think. The Martensville Commu-nity Access Centre (MCAC) is sending out a call for volun-teers to help with that city’s Canada Day festivities. “Canada Day is something that the MCAC has put together here in Martensville for several years,” said Kristee Lynn Adri-an, MCAC Coordinator. “It’s not actually done by the city. The MCAC is an independent, volunteer-based agency, and we rely on people helping out to make things like this happen.” Adrian said people are wel-come to help in any way they can. “They don’t necessarily even have to be here the day of the event,” said Adrian. “There are lots of things that need to be done ahead of time.” Adrian said anyone interest-ed in helping out with the event can call the MCAC at 306-242-0326. “Just let us know what you are interested in, and we can provide you with some options to help us out,” said Adrian. “We also encourage families to get involved.”

It’s a long way from Sas-katchewan to California, but Dundurn actor Aren Buchholz is working hard to make his dream a reality in Los Angeles and “Hollywood North” (Van-couver). Buchholz recently finished auditioning for pilot roles in Los Angeles. The roles could be anything from sitcom, feature film or big screen movie jobs. It’s a crazy time of year with lots of competition, said Buch-holz . “This is the busiest time of year in the city and thousands of people flood L.A for audi-tions, so if you get one it means you are on a studio’s radar,” said Buchholz. “Thousands of actors don’t get an audition, that’s how com-petitive it is.” This pilot season Buchholz was close to getting a contract role for the soap opera “Days of Our Lives.” Even though he did not land the role Buchholz said he made some great contacts for future film projects, which he said is invaluable. Buchholz is a graduate of Hanley Composite School, which nurtured his love of act-ing. He says growing up in Dundurn, he always loved per-forming. “One of my favorite roles was playing Scrooge in the Dun-durn Christmas concert when I was in the 6th grade, and odd-ly enough, my future drama teacher, Leanne Griffin of Han-ley Composite School, was in the audience and ‘scouted’ me for her following year’s senior drama team,” said Buchholz. Buchholz spent the next six years from Grades 7 to 12 on the Hanley Composite School Drama team, which he says were probably the most memo-rable and fun times he experi-enced growing up. “The teachers at Hanley Composite were amazing at en-couraging development in our passions and interests; mine be-ing acting and filmmaking, of course,” said Buchholz. “They would allow my friends and I to produce short films for final projects in many of our classes.

Without that freedom and pos-itive reinforcement, I honestly don’t know if I’d be as interest-ed in filmmaking as I am now.” What really made Buchholz decide on acting as his career choice was when he landed his first agent in Saskatoon, went to his first audition and booked his first role on a locally-filmed Space Network TV show called “Rabbit Fall.” After that, he was hooked. Following his graduation from high school, Buchholz moved to Vancouver to attend a six month acting program and continued to educate himself on the acting craft with other coaches throughout the city. From there, Buchholz landed guest starring roles on the Car-toon Network’s TV program “Level Up,” where he played a character named Leroy, one of his favourite comedy roles. He also got the chance to make two appearances on the Warner Brothers hit TV Series “Supernatural,” but the inde-pendent film “When the Ocean

Met the Sky,” helped Buchholz gain a lot of attention. The dramatic comedy film tells the story of three es-tranged brothers who venture to a remote location, due to a stipulation in their late parents’ will, in order to receive their inheritance. The film has made quite the impression on the film festival circuit. Buchholz has attended 10 festivals across Canada and the United States, where the film has won at least one award at every festival, including the Best Dramatic Feature Film at the Canadian International Film Festival. The film has also made the rounds at the pres-tigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The whole experience has been amazing for Buchholz, but seeing how his work affects people is the ultimate reward. “When the Ocean Met the Sky” was shown at the Mon-treal World Film Festival, a French man expressed through a translator what the movie

meant to him, said Buchholz. “He explained that he too came from a family of four brothers. And they too were dysfunctional and he hadn’t spoken to his one brother for 10 years,” said Buchholz. “He broke down just a little bit and thanked us for our film and how it made him see some things differently.” Buchholz said the experience gave him shivers and further reinforced his love for the craft of acting. Lukas Huffman, who co-pro-duced “When the Ocean Met the Sky,” said he first saw Bu-chholz’s work in a comedic webseries entitled “I’m with Desperate,” where he said Bu-chholz was hilarious and dem-onstrated that he had good co-medic timing. Huffman said films like “When the Ocean Met the Sky,” benefit from Buchholz’s versa-tility as an actor. “These are roles which need a dynamic range, and actors who are comfortable moving

quickly through a funny, right to a melancholy beat,” said Huffman. “It’s challenging to do without the character seem-ing manic. But, Aren gives those performances a natural feeling, so the character feels grounded through these sharp emotional transitions.” Drama teacher Leanne Grif-fin said when students annu-ally move from Dundurn Ele-mentary to Hanley Composite School they usually work on the technical side of a produc-tion before acting, but she saw so much potential in Buchholz that she let him act right away. “He is someone who is real-ly intuitive. He is also someone who is able to do comedy and drama so I had him in come-dy’s but also some very serious plays as well. He was exception-al in both and he really stood out. Having creative instincts for how to edit a film or what emo-tional element to add to his character’s role has also been noted by Huffman and Griffin,

which are great tools to have. Huffman said during the post-production on “When the Ocean Met the Sky,” Buchholz displayed a great deal of intelli-gence about the overall creative process of the film. “Many times, I’ll get notes from actors which only con-cern their own performances, but Aren has a very good un-derstanding of filmmaking and was able to give helpful notes about all the aspects of the film,” said Huffman. Griffin said it is exception-ally rewarding to see a former student pursue something they are passionate about as a pro-fession. “I was able to work with Aren closely all those years and watched his growth as an actor. He realized quite young what he wanted to do and that is the ultimate reward; seeing a student excel at what they love, which is very exciting.” Buchholz said he would one day love to play a Jedi in a Star Wars movie or a sword-wield-ing character in the HBO series Game of Thrones. His latest project, filmed in Victoria, B.C. has Buchholz playing a drug dealer in a film about teenage drug use. Buchholz is also working on a serious script for an indepen-dent film where he hopes to play the lead role of a terminal-ly ill cancer patient who uses alternative medicines to try to prolong his life. The role would require a to-tal body transformation, which both excites and scares Buch-holz a little bit, but he said he loves a challenge. Through his experiences go-ing from a talented high school actor to TV and independent silver screens, Buchholz feels the arts are so important in the education of young minds at the high school level. As for the film industry, he said you have to love it to ap-preciate it, and accept the ups and downs that come along the way. “The industry can be tough, emotionally and mentally, so to see your work be appreciated is a major compliment and inspi-ration to keep on keepin’ on.”

Warman athlete makes impact with Division 1 women’s hockey team


PHOTO SUBMITTED BY DOLORES GRAINGER

Hoisting a national hockey championship trophy over your head and basking in the cheers of the crowd is a feeling that’s hard to describe in mere words. But a big grin says it all. Amanda Grainger of Warman experienced the flood of emotion firsthand on March 8 in York, Pennsylvania, USA. Grainger and her Liberty Uni-versity Lady Flames team-mates celebrated a 4-1 win over the University of Miami of Ohio in the American Colle-giate Hockey Associa-tion (ACHA) Division 1 Women’s champion-ship final. It was the team’s fourth appearance at the national champi-onship tournament, but the first time they had captured the big prize in the top-ranked Division 1 cat-egory. The Warman High School (WHS) graduate, who’s finish-ing up her final year of nursing at Liberty University in Lynch-burg, Virginia, USA, is still pumped about the win almost a month later. Even the prospect of gruelling final exams holds no worries for her; not after go-ing toe-to-toe against some of the best female college hockey

team she’s ever been on, but that’s just increased her deter-mination and drive.” Dolores said while her daugh-ter demonstrated a natural tal-ent for hockey from a very young age, she still had to work twice as hard as her team-mates. “When you’re skating against someone who’s 6 feet tall, you have to make twice as many strides just to keep up. But she’s always been very ath-letic and has also excelled in track and field events.” Dolores said Amanda start-ed in hockey when she was seven years old. She wanted to follow in her older brothers’ footsteps, and rebelled against more traditional girls’ activities like gymnastics, dance and figure skating. “Her father, Raymond, didn’t want her to play hockey be-

cause he didn’t want his little girl to get hurt,” said Dolores. “But he got tricked into tak-ing her to hockey one time and that was the end of the story. She didn’t want to be anywhere but at the rink playing hockey along with her brothers Bran-don and Dustin.” Amanda initially played on boys teams in Balcarres, Sas-katchewan, with one of her old-er brothers, and later did dou-ble duty on both girls and boys hockey teams in Balcarres and Fort Qu’Appelle. When she was 12 years old, she was bumped up from Pee Wee to play with a Bantam team, and was accept-ed into the Battleford Midget AAA Sharks while still a Ban-tam age player. Her family moved around a lot, including stops in Kindersley, where she

dream big

The University of Saskatch-ewan recently signed two Warman athletes who are hop-ing to become contributing members of the Huskies basket-ball and hockey programs in 2016.

JANAYA BROWN Talented basketball forward Janaya Brown, who recent-ly won a provincial silver med-al with Warman High School’s (WHS) Senior Girls basketball team at Hoopla, said the posi-tive atmosphere surrounding the women’s basketball pro-gram is one of the reasons why she wanted to become a Huskie. “They are an amazing team already, they just placed fourth at nationals and have a great work ethic, which is something that attracted me to want to play for them,” said Brown. Brown played four years at the senior level for WHS. She has also had the distinction of play-ing on the provincial U17 team last summer, which is how she became noticed by Huskie Women’s basketball Coach Lisa Thomaidis. “Janaya has very good bas-ketball IQ. She works hard at her game and is one of those kids that is committed to try and play at the highest level,” said Thomaidis. “Certainly we want to give her the opportuni-ty. She is 6’2’’ has good hands so we are looking forward to having her.” WHS Wolverines coach Betty Bird, who coached Brown since she was in Grade 9, said she is a very coachable player that has a highly competitive spir-it and always welcomes a chal-lenge. “When she was in Grade 8 she dominated in juniors just because of her height and size and I figured she could proba-bly handle the roughness of a senior team,” said Bird. “She

was part of a female Pee Wee team that won provincials in 2001. The family finally settled in Warman in 2007, and Aman-da divided her time between Warman and North Battleford, where she was a key player with the Sharks for four years. After graduating from WHS, Amanda opted to pursue her two biggest dreams: play high-calibre competitive college hockey in the US while earn-ing a nursing degree. She en-rolled in Liberty University and maintained a consistent 3.5 grade average every year in the Nursing Honours program, qualifying her for the Dean’s list. Her commitment and en-ergy on the team was also rec-ognized during her freshman and sophomore years when she was presented with the team’s “Heart of a Lion” award, She was also the player with the top points for each year. This season, she was recog-nized as the Ultimate Leader in Top Power Play Points in Liber-ty University’s history. She fin-ished her hockey career with the distinction of being named third overall for total points in the team’s history. Balancing a tough academ-ic program with the demands of a highly-competitive hock-ey league has been a challenge, said Amanda. “The School of Nursing at Liberty University is recog-nized as one of the best, but hardest nursing programs in the US,” she said. “It has been four very hard years academ-ically, but was well worth it. I had to miss out on a lot of fun activities in order to do my homework and clinicals. If I was not on the ice playing hock-ey or in the weight room, I was either in the classroom or at the hospital doing clinicals.” Amanda said she wouldn’t have made it through the pro-gram without the help of sup-portive professors, who often came to the games to cheer the team on. She refers to herself now as a “retired” hockey player, and plans on returning to Saskatch-ewan to pursue a career in nursing. “I’m excited to graduate on May 9, and finally live back home to be with my family and friends, but I’m going to miss the warm weather,” she said. “Hockey was a stress-reliever from the pressure of school. Be-ing on a sports team at univer-sity has given me many memo-ries that I will forever cherish.”

players in North America. “It’s an unbelievable feeling,” said Grainger in an e-mail in-terview with the Gazette. “Not many individuals have the chance to compete and win a national championship, and I am extremely proud of that. Two years ago our team lost in the national final. This year our team overcame many ad-versities and we pulled together as a team and made history for Liberty University. “I am still in shock and can-not believe that we finally won. I am proud of each person on our team. I’m going to miss

them once I graduate with my BSN in May.” Grainger, who stands 4’11” but has a heart that fills almost her entire frame, has beaten the odds at every level during her hockey career. “Amanda has always been re-ally good at hockey,” said her mother, Dolores Grainger, in an interview. “She’s always been the smallest player on every

never acted like she never fit in or it was too much for her.” Thomaidis said it will be a transition to go from the high school to the CIS style of bas-ketball. As with most athletes, Brown probably won’t see any playing time until her second year, said Thomaidis “I tell our recruits that it takes two years so her regis-tered year is going to be all about getting fit and strong, get-ting accustomed to our systems and style of play,” said Thom-aidis. “Then after their sec-ond year they are able to play and contribute with some confi-dence so they know what to ex-pect.” Bird said both the Univer-sities of Regina and Winnipeg wanted her but her heart was always with the Huskies. Bird said besides her talent her leadership skills will bene-fit the Huskies. “She has always impressed me with her knowledge about the game, she is never boastful and always put the success of the team first,” said Bird “The girls saw that in her and that is the reason why I appointed her captain this year, because I knew she would lead us to suc-cess.”

JENNA NASH There are probably not too many Warman athletes that had the kind of success that Jenna Nash had in female

hockey this season. In Feb-ruary Nash participated in the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, B.C. Nash was also a member of the Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA Hockey League’s Saskatoon Stars that won Cal-gary’s invitational Mac’s Midg-et Tournament this year and recently helped the team win its first provincial title, March 25. Nash didn’t play in the Stars provincial final or the Cana-da Games bronze medal game because of an torn ACL she sustained at a Canada Winter Games round robin match-up against Team Alberta. After looking at the Univer-sity of Toronto and Potsdam, (New York) Hockey Programs, she said the University of Sas-katchewan gave her a scholar-ship she could not turn down. “Ever since I heard of the Huskies female hockey pro-gram I wanted to be a part of it,” said Nash. If the University of Saskatch-ewan’s women’s hockey team coach Steve Kook has anything to do with it, she will have plen-ty of time to hone her skills. Kook said Huskie coaching staff have watched Nash’s ma-turity as a player for a couple of years now and believe she has the potential to be a top de-fencemen with the team. “I think Jenna has a great skill set that is going to give

her the best ability to adapt to our game. Coming from midg-et our game is going to be fast-er, more physical and she is go-ing to have less time to make decisions,” said Kook. “I think the things Jenna brings to the table is her skating, she is very mobile and a very athletic play-er, which is going to help her as well.” Saskatoon Stars coach Grego-ry Slobodzian coached Nash for three years and said she will be a great fit for the Huskies. “All young players take a while to adjust but she is very coach-able and will be able to contribute sooner than later,” said Slobodzian. “Jenna defi-nitely leads with her play. She has an extremely high compete level and brings her A game ev-ery time she takes the ice.” Described as a talented two way defensive player, the only thing Nash has to do right now is get back on skates. Her injury is not something Kook is concerned about. “The injury she has is one that is not too serious in terms of being fixed relatively quickly. They did a good job at the Can-ada Winter Games in getting her an MRI and giving us a call the same day that it happened so we are able to prepare from this end,” said Kook. We were able to get Jenna into our team doc and under the surgeon’s scope very quickly when she came home so she has had her

surgery. We are in a waiting process and it is going to be five months before she can do some physical stuff on her knee.” Kook said the great thing is that her knee should be 100 per cent by September, when the Huskies season begins.

Kart racers revved for new seasonBy TERRY PUGH

[email protected]

Members of the Saskatoon Kart Racers (SKR) Club are itching to lay down the rubber at the Martensville Speedway this summer. With the season set to open on Saturday, May 2, kart driv-ers and their pit crews are pre-paring their pint-size racing machines for the hair-pin turns and straightaways of the track located in Martensville at the east end of 9th Street North. And this year, the club is hoping to increase the profile of the sport and entice more fam-ilies to jump into the driver’s seat, says SKR President Jaret Waddell. “We have between 50 and 60 members, and that trans-lates into somewhere in the neighbourhood of 20 racers ev-ery weekend race day,” said Waddell in an interview at the Draggins Rod and Custom Car Show in Saskatoon on Friday, April 3. “Our membership is in-creasing, and we are focusing on increasing our exposure and getting out into the community. We want to let people know we welcome new members.” Waddell said the club is offer-ing a number of opportunities throughout the season for peo-ple to see what the sport is all about. “We find that parents are supportive of what the kids love

to do, especially if it’s a safe environment, but there is no real way to dip your toe into it. Sometimes people feel like they have to dive all in. We want to let them test the water, so to speak.” Kart racing was born in the late 1950s and has now evolved to the point where it is recog-nized worldwide as a compet-itive motorsport. Many of to-day’s professional racing stars got their start in karts. The ad-vantage of karts is they are rel-atively inexpensive to purchase and maintain compared to larg-er vehicles, and offer thrills in a safe environment for young-sters. A variety of classes en-sure kids and adults compete against others of their own skill level. Waddell said the SKR season starts Saturday, May 2 with a “test and tune” day, in which members of the public can come and get a taste of what the sport is all about. A second “test and tune” day is slated for June 9. “It’s a non-race environ-ment,” he said. “People have an opportunity to be out with the machines. Those who have nev-er been in a kart can get a little closer, ask some questions, and maybe even get into the ma-chine and go around the track for a few laps. That’s one way that people have to reach out and touch the sport without go-ing all in.”

Wes Spendelow, a member of the SKR who is in charge of or-ganizing special events, said the club is also initiating a “kart start” program this year on July 12 and 13. A semi-load of karts is being brought in for the day, and for $80, people can get suited up with helmets and all the other safety gear, and re-ceive full instructions on the safe operation of racing karts from professional instructors. Waddell said the club is working with Ross Motorsports to introduce newcomers to the sport on non-race days through-out the summer. “It’s a non-race environment and we do the same thing as on the test and tune days, but it is through a program of his,” he said. “It provides more oppor-tunities than just the test and tune days.”

GRAND PRIX EVENT The SKR is hosting its Grand Prix at Martensville Speedway on Saturday and Sunday, July 4 and 5. “The Grand Prix is special this year because in the past there was a regional race put together in the west that is not going to happen this year,” said Waddell. “So the Grand Prix is going to be one of three spe-cial events in the west. The oth-er two include a race out of the Three Flags track at Lumsden, which is set for May; and the other is at a track outside War-

burg, Alberta, which is near Edmonton. Those three rac-es will comprise the bulk of all the regional race activities this season.” The club’s website is www.saskatoonkartracers.com .

The Martensville Curling Club is very proud of our teams that competed in provincial competitions the past few week-ends. On the weekend of March 20- 22 we had two teams compete in the Travellers Provincials at the Nutana Curling rink in Saskatoon. This is a champion-ship of club curlers. Our women’s team was made up of Nancy Martin, Melissa Surkan, Kathie Derksen and Dianne Thom-son. They came second in their pool and failed to advance to the playoffs. The men’s team of Corey Martens, Leo Perrin, Kev-in Fehr and Chris Ung-er won the tie-breaker for first in their pool then lost in the semi-finals of the playoffs. Both teams represented our

club very well and it was iron-ic that we had the Martin and Martens teams representing Martensville. On March 25 – 29 the mixed team of Corey Martens, Melissa Surkan, Laverne Derksen and Kathie Derksen took part in the Mixed Provincials in North Battleford. Although they did not make playoffs, they did well, winning 2 of the 5 games they played. Our club is very pleased to an-nounce that we will be hosting the next Mixed Provincials the end of next March.

Warman’s Brennan Hall is one of only twenty-four hockey officials from across Saskatche-wan to be selected to attend the 2015 Bantam Sask First Devel-opment Camp in Regina April 16-19. The process began with the Sask First Zone Camps in Feb-ruary. All officials attended their respective zone camp and the supervisors ranked the of-ficials at each camp following the weekend. These rankings were then used to select the 24 officials to attend the Sask First Development Camp in April. The officials will undergo fit-ness testing, a rules exam, and a power skating session, in ad-dition to working games as a Referee and Linesman. Super-visors will be present at all games to provide the officials with coaching and feedback. Besides still being in high school and officiating numer-ous games throughout the sea-son, Brennan Hall is also the Warman Minor Hockey As-sociation (WMHA) Referee in Chief. This season he imple-mented a very successful Of-ficials Mentorship Program which provided young officials with support and guidance. The WMHA says Hall is a role model for young officials.

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19Capricorn, a great opportunity to express yourself comes along this week. Make the most of this chance to let oth-ers see your creative side. AQUARIUS January 20– February 18Aquarius, a friend or family member looks to you for ad-vice this week. Do your best to put yourself in their shoes and let them know your support is unwavering.

PISCES February 19– March 20Pisces, you have the wherewithal to complete a projects other may never even attempt. Put your best foot forward and get to work.

ARIES March 21– April 19Think before you speak, Aries. Quick wit might lead to some easy laughs, but it’s best to consider how your words will affect those around you before you speak.

TAURUS April 20– May 20Give yourself a little more time to solve a puzzling prob-lem, Taurus. Within a few days you might have the fresh perspective you need to determine a solution.

GEMINI May 21– June 21Gemini, criticism coming your way is intended to be con-structive. Listen to what others are saying and recognize that they are advocates, not adversaries.

CANCER June 22– July 22Cancer, give yourself time to form an opinion on an impor-tant issue in your life. The more time you give yourself, the more clearly you will see the issue at hand.

LEO July 23– August 22Not everyone moves at your breakneck speed. Just be-cause others aren’t keeping up doesn’t mean they don’t understand what is going on. Give them time to catch up.

VIRGO August 23– September 22Virgo, a budding relationship demands your attention this week. Give this relationship the attention it deserves, and you will be glad for having done so.

LIBRA September 23– October 22Libra, resist the urge to rehash an old issue. You and others have long since moved on, and there are more positive things to focus on in the next week.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21Scorpio, your financial savvy comes to the forefront this week. Put your skill for finding a deal to work and you and your accountant will be glad you did.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21Sagittarius, a goal that seems unlikely is still worth work-ing toward. Others will be there to offer support and guid-ance as you pursue this very unique and rewarding goal.

ways and Infrastructure is a record, with 54 proj-ects valued at $200 million. The tender plan lays out work the Highways ministry intends to put on the market over the course of the 2015 construction season. Com-bined with the fall tender plan released in Sep-tember, there are more than 130 projects in progress with a value exceeding $400 million. “This tender plan contains a number of proj-ects that will keep our province growing, im-prove safety and renew our existing trans-portation infrastructure,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “Projects include new infrastructure, repav-ing, as well as bridge and culvert work.”

HIGHLIGHTS OF PLANThe spring tenders include: New highway overpasses at Warman and

Martensville; 12 km of repaving on Highway 11 between Girvin and Davidson; Twinning Highway 39 between Estevan and Bienfait; and Final paving of the section of Highway 22 over Pearl Creek that was washed out during last year’s flooding. Tender advertisements will begin in April and continue throughout the summer. Actual start dates for these projects depend on when the tender is awarded, contractor availability and weather. This year’s Highways and Infrastructure budget is $842 million, the largest transporta-tion budget in the province’s history. With the 2015-16 Budget, the government has exceeded its 2011 commitment to invest $2.2 billion over four years by about half a billion dollars.

to Regina to attend the throne speech and bud-get speech, and also during the period when we were dealing with our flooding, and each time, I got more excited about the prospect of being part of that. Randy and others encouraged me to put my hat in the ring, and I’m looking forward to the challenge.” Brandrick said he appreciates the support giv-en him by residents of Borden during his time on council. He said his main reason for seeking the nomination is “to help people.” “It all comes down to wanting to see people benefit from Saskatchewan’s growth, and I think I can bring ideas to the table to help continue that growth,” said Brandrick. “I like the direc-tion this government is going and I really believe I can help the people of Riversdale.” He said the provincial government, through the regional health authority, has made health care more accessible to residents of the constitu-ency. Saskatoon Riversdale is currently represented by NDP MLA Danielle Chartier. Brandrick said at present, he plans to re-main in Borden if he wins the nomination. He said it is not unusual for candidates to represent neighbouring ridings. He noted that Borden is only a half-hour’s drive from Saskatoon. Brandrick said he is very familiar with urban issues, particularly in Saskatoon. He works for the City of Saskatoon transit system as a service supervisor, and commutes daily from Borden to Saskatoon.

The City of Martensville is asking residents to take steps to prevent the spread of Black Knot, a disease that infects tree trunks and branches. The City’s Forestry Bylaw No. 20-2013 stipulates that no property owner shall fail to remove/prune diseased/in-fected trees on their property. Black knot can be spread to new trees by birds and through the infected spores being injected into the air during rainy periods and then advanced by wind. The disease initially starts as a small olive-green gall or swelling that will develop at a succulent growing point or fruit spur (as a result of spores landing and infection taking place). This swelling will grow un-til it is mature after 2-3 years. The mature galls are hard, black, 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 inch-es) and may be somewhat rup-tured. Mature galls will produce and release a vast amount of spores during the bloom period, resulting in a rap-

id increase in infections. The fungus continues to grow in-ternally and externally, with the branch eventually becom-ing girdled and dying. If the infection is not removed it will result in the total fatality of the tree.

WHAT CAN BE DONE?- Remove sources of inoculum (infected area prevents popu-lation build up)- Prune out all knot-bearing branches during late fall, win-ter or very early spring when plants are dormant and knots are easy to see.- Remove infected branches to at least 15-20 cm (6-8 inch-es) below knot. NOTE: It is preferable to prune an infect-ed branch further back to an appropriate location, such as a healthy collar, rather than leave a stub- As a precaution, cutting blades should be cleaned and disinfected after pruning, (methyl hydrate or a bleach solution) especially if cuts have been made through obvi-ously infected material

Homeowners urged to control Black Knot disease by pruning trees on their property

- For knots on scaffold branch-es or trunks that can’t be re-moved, cut away diseased tis-sue down to good wood and at least 1 cm (1/2 inch) beyond the edge of the knot- Failure to remove branch-es beyond the internal growth will result in re-growth of the fungus- Diseased wood must be de-stroyed immediately (burned, buried or removed from site). Diseased knots can produce and release spores for up to 4 months after removal. Proper composting can help to accelerate the breakdown of infected materials- Ensure plants are healthy and free from stress (not a guarantee from disease)- Regular monitoring- Ensure adequate canopy ventilation through proper pruning- Chemical control (preventa-tive not curative)- Consider hiring a trained professional for pruning. If your tree has too much black knot it cannot be saved and will require removal.

The Resonate Student Mu-sic Conference was two days of making music, learning from music industry professionals and forming new friendships for 170 students from 19 Prai-rie Spirit schools. The confer-ence – the first of its kind in the school division – offered students in grades 7 to 12 the opportunity to pursue music learning based on their person-al interests. The overall goal of the con-ference was to engage stu-dents in music, both those who are already involved in mu-sic learning and those who are not, explained Kendra Wor-man, the school division’s Mu-sic Support Facilitator. The conference was held March 19 and 20 at the Cedar Lodge Retreat Centre on Black-

strap Lake, which provided a creative location without the distractions of a regular school day. The conference was made possible through the support of a number of local corporate and individual sponsors. “Everywhere you turned, there were students playing in-struments, interacting with others in sessions, or sitting working on song lyrics,” Wor-man said. “There was sound all throughout the building, which was exactly what we had hoped for!” Students chose sessions from approximately 30 options of-fered by a number of local, pro-vincial and national music in-dustry professionals, designed for students with a range of ability and knowledge. Session topics included: song writing, guitar, drumming, music re-cording technology, instrument repair, hip hop and many oth-ers. These sessions were inter-

active, hands-on and designed for students. “Our session presenters were amazing and did a great job with our students,” Worman said. A central “jam stage” was available for students and mu-

sic professionals to make mu-sic together. The jam stage was a busy place throughout the conference and was a focus for both students and music profes-sionals. A music industry pan-el gave students the chance to learn about a wide variety of

career paths available in the music field and how to pursue them. Both days of the conference featured a performance by a music industry professional. Shane Philip from Courtenay, B.C., performed on the first day

of the conference and Abso-funkinlutely, a Saskatoon band, performed on the second day. “We hope students returned to their schools inspired to be catalysts for increased music learning opportunities,” Wor-man said.

Roughrider fans in the Saskatoon region will have to switch their radio dial from AM to FM to hear live broadcasts of Sas-katchewan Roughriders games beginning this season. The game broadcasts, including the play-by-play by Rod Pedersen, will move from 600 CJWW to 96.3 CRUZ-FM.
