Fehr family raising funds for surgery A “GoFundMe” fundraising campaign is currently underway to en-able a Hepburn man to un-dergo surgery for a rare medical condition. Lynton Fehr was diag-nosed with a rare disease called Chiari Malforma-tion in the fall of 2014, af-ter he experienced symp-toms of numbness and partial paralysis to his left side. According to a post on the fundraising website by Lynton’s daughter, Tailor Fehr, Lynton was booked for surgery on December 9 to remove the cyst that was pressing on his brain. How-ever, complications ensued. Over the past several months, a patch put on Lyn-ton’s skull has been found to be leaking cerebral spi-nal fluid (CSF), and the cyst that was drained is appar-ently filling back up, caus-ing significant pain for Lynton. His symptoms are getting consistently worse. “He has so much pres-sure in his head (from the cyst pressing on his brain) that he has difficulty sleep-ing,” said Tailor Fehr in

her latest GoFundMe post (www.gofundme.com/Lyn-ton1). “He also gets tremors, blurred vision, hot flashes and the list goes on.” Formerly the family breadwinner, Lynton has been unable to work since July 2014; and his employ-ment insurance benefits have run out. Tailor Fehr began the

Family and friends of Lynton Fehr (above) are working to raise funds to enable him to have additional brain surgery

to remove a cyst that is pressing against his brain. The surgery would also graft bone back onto his skull to stop the ongoing leaking of cerebral spine fluid. A fundraising

Proposal for intensive gravel operation deniedBy TERRY [email protected] A discretionary use appli-cation for a major gravel ex-traction operation south of Saskatoon was denied by the RM of Corman Park coun-cil at a meeting on Monday, July 20. The application by Croft Aggregates for a Mineral Resource Extraction Indus-try on NE 3-35-4-W3 would have been for a two-year time period. The operation would have comprised 20 acres and it was expected that approximately 3,500,000 tonnes of sand and gravel would have been extracted from the pit. But the proposed opera-tion was strongly opposed by a large number of area

residents, who turned out in force to speak against the application at the RM of Corman Park meeting on July 20. A petition opposing the application was present-ed to council. “It was a very respectful meeting, even though there were very strong feelings about the proposal,” said Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood in an interview on Tuesday, July 21. “In the end, we as a council had to weigh all points of view and decide on what we felt was best for Corman Park as a whole.” While council denied the application, Harwood said she cautioned the group that the applicant was free to come back with a different

fundraising campaign to help her father find treat-ment at a specialized clinic in the United States. So far, a total of $4,800 has been raised towards a goal of $30,000. A fundraising barbe-cue was held in Warman on Thursday, July 2 in the parking lot of the Family Pizza restaurant.

plan. It is estimated the area where the gravel pit would be located contains an esti-mated 10 to 20 year supply of aggregates. “The biggest concern that people had was that this would have been a very in-tensive operation, with a lot of truck traffic,” said Har-wood. On the application, Croft Aggregates said it anticipat-ed the operation to have an average of 60 round trips per truck. However, at peak times, that number could reach as high as 150 round trips per day per truck. The proposed extraction site is located in Division 1, and is currently zoned Ag-ricultural Residential 1 Dis-trict (AR1), which provides

for gravel pits as a discre-tionary use. However, the petition and individual letters of opposi-tion focused on several con-cerns, including: increased noise, dust and heavy traf-fic; and a decrease in the quality of life for residents. Environmental concerns were also raised. “Gravel is a very impor-tant resource, and the RM is a major consumer of gravel for its roads,” noted Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore. “The residents who are opposed to this ap-plication are not against gravel development in a gen-eral sense, but I think the potential long-term nature of this particular proposal was a concern for them.”

Cost of policing dog park a bone of contentionBy TERRY [email protected] The RM of Corman Park is asking the City of Saskatoon to help cover the cost of policing danger-ous dog complaints at Chief Whitecap Park. Chief Whitecap Park is a parcel of land located in the RM of Corman Park that is owned by the City of Saskatoon. Although it has never been designat-ed as an off-leash dog park, many people use the un-fenced park as an informal off-leash area. The RM is obliged under the provincial Municipali-ties Act to investigate and prosecute dangerous dog

complaints. The number of complaints at Chief White-cap Park has been steadi-ly rising, and the RM esti-mates the cost of policing the area by Corman Park Police Service for 2015 and 2016 will amount to roughly $39,000. “That’s a very large bill for the ratepayers of the RM,” said Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood in an interview on Tuesday, July 21. “There are also other concerns including park-ing. But we’ve been pretty lenient because we want to work with the city to resolve these issues to everyone’s satisfaction.” Harwood said the inves-

tigations are costly and in-volve a considerable amount of manpower from the RM’s police service. “We are stretched,” said Harwood. “We have 800 square miles of area to po-lice. It’s not realistic to think our officers can de-vote that much time and en-ergy to one area. We have to find a middle ground on this issue.” She added that both mu-nicipalities have been work-ing amicably overe the past two years to find a solution. Five dangerous animal files are currently under re-view in Corman Park. Each case is estimated to cost $3,000 to investigate and

Largest outdoor farm show in west kicks off By TERRY [email protected] The largest outdoor farm show in western Canada kicked off near Langham on Tuesday, July 21. Ag In Motion features over 200 exhibitors, includ-ing farm equipment man-ufacturers, chemical, seed and crop protection suppli-ers, financial institutions, grain and livestock mar-keting companies, and oth-er big players in the world of agribusiness. The show, sponsored by Glacier Farm Media, is modelled on a sim-ilar outdoor farm show in Ontario which has been go-ing for 23 years. Ag In Motion is located on 320 acres of land west of Langham in the RM of Corman Park. Show Direc-tor Rob O’Connor said the land was purchased last year as a permanent lo-cation for the exposition, which he said will be a pop-ular attraction for years to come. “This is an historic event,” said O’Connor. “This is the

first large scale outdoor ag-ricultural exhibition to be launched in 23 years, and it’s also the first in western Canada.” O’Connor said residents of the area have welcomed the show with open arms, and noted that many local peo-ple are volunteering in vari-ous ways. Thousands of vis-itors from across western Canada are expected to vis-it the three-day show this week. They have the oppor-tunity to view different crop varieties growing in the field and also get hands-on demonstrations of various types of farm equipment. Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood said she’s pleased the show opted to locate in the RM. “We’re proud that they de-cided to call Corman Park their home for this event,” she said. “There are a lot of opportunities in this area, and having a place where farmers can access this wide array of knowl-edge, technology and oth-er resources in one place is amazing.” Dr. Mary Buhr, Dean of the College of Agricul-ture and Biosciences at the University of Saskatche-wan, said the exhibition is a “great new stage” aimed at highlighting advances in western Canadian agricul-ture. “The world needs us to step up our game,” said Buhr, noting the global de-mand for food continues to grow. Federal Agriculture Min-ister Gerry Ritz and Pro-vincial Agriculture Minis-ter Lyle Stewart also spoke at the opening ceremony for the event, as did John Ken-nedy, the President and CEO of principle show sponsor Glacier Media. Several special events are scheduled over the three-day event, which ends on Thursday, July 23.

Cutting the ribbon to officially open the Ag In Motion show on Tuesday, July 21 are (left to right) Show Director Rob O’Connor, Glacier Media President John Kennedy, federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, provincial Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart, Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood, Agricultural Manufacturers Association of Canada President Leah Olson, and U of S College of Agriculture and Biosciences Dean Dr. Mary Buhr. Over 200 exhibitors are part of the largest outdoor farm show in western Canada, which runs until Thursday, July 23.

prosecute in the courts. Saskatoon City Council debated a resolution to pro-vide financial assistance to the RM at its regular city council meeting on Monday, July 20. The resolution sug-gested $15,000 in 2015 and $24,000 in 2016. The resolu-tion was defeated, with only Saskatoon Mayor Don Atchi-son and Councilor Pat Lorje supporting the request. Corman Park Adminis-trator Adam Tittemore said that even though RM bylaws state that dogs are supposed to be on leash in the park, that particular bylaw is not being enforced. However, the dangerous animal bylaw is being en-

forced, he added. “We recognize that people are using Chief Whitecap Park as an off-leash park while the City of Saskatoon is working on its master plan for the area,” said Tit-temore. “We are trying to work with them. We’re not interested in shutting down an operation that people use and enjoy. However, in the interim, until the city for-mally designates all or a portion of the park as an off-leash dog park, we are re-quired to investigate and prosecute complaints of dan-gerous dogs. “We have had very good conversations with the city on this issue.”

A timely soaker from the skies last weekend helped quell the ongoing threat from northern forest fires, allowing LaRonge residents to return home. It also gave firefight-ers from Dalmeny and Langham a chance to head home as well. Lt. Tom Moody, Firefighter Devin King, and Firefighter Thom-as Baxter of Dalmeny Fire Rescue both did tours of duty in the LaRonge area, helping battle the blaze that forced the evacuation of thousands of residents. Moody, along with two members of Langham Fire Department was deployed to LaRonge on July 12. The firefighters took one wild-fire truck with them to help in the firefighting effort. King actually went to LaR-onge twice; his first tour of duty was in early July, and the second tour ended last weekend. The firefighters worked to suppress hot spots in the LaRonge town and surrounding area.

Martensville firefighters volunteer to help northern communitiesBy TERRY [email protected] Martensville Deputy Fire Chief Dean Brooman has a lot of respect for provincial firefighters working on the front lines in northern Sas-katchewan. “The people that do that work every day, all summer long, they’re the real heroes in all of this,” said Brooman in an interview on Thurs-day, July 16. “They’re out-standing people.” Brooman and seven oth-er members of Martensville Fire Rescue (MFR) spent several days earlier this month protecting homes and property in the community of Ramsey Bay, which was threatened on all sides by one of several massive forest fires. The community is on Weyakwin Lake, about 170 kilometers north of Prince Albert. Four Martensville fire-fighters were dispatched to Ramsey Bay on July 7; and they were relieved by an-other four volunteers from their department on July 10. The department also had

two vehicles, including its main pumper truck and a wildland grassfire truck, in-volved in the firefighting ef-fort. Brooman said the efforts by fire departments from across Saskatchewan in the battle against the north-ern fires was simply a case of “neighbours helping neighbours.” “It’s a Saskatchewan tradi-tion,” he said. Brooman said the Mar-tensville firefighters who were dispatched to the northern fire learned a lot from the experience. “I was very impressed with the incident command structure, and also the abil-ities of the provincial forest firefighters,” said Brooman. “I was truly amazed at how well these folks perform in tough conditions, and I have the utmost respect and ad-miration for them. I kind of wish we could have stayed a little longer to learn more from them.” Brooman said the provin-cial firefighters have an un-canny ability to predict

how a forest fire will grow or shrink depending on the wind, weather, humidity and local ground conditions. “There are so many fires burning up north, and a lot of them, including the one where we were stationed, are huge,” said Brooman. “It’s hard for most people to get a good handle on current conditions, let alone predict what is likely to happen and when. But these men and women are really good at reading the signs and they have a lot of experience.” The Martensville firefight-ers were assigned to protect structures, including cabins and homes in and around Ramsey Bay, as well as en-sure telephone and electrici-ty lines were not threatened by the encroaching fire. “Our duty was to protect the homes and cabins up there,” said Brooman. “We made sure the fire didn’t come into the community. We were also protecting the road and keeping the fireCONTINUED ON PAGE 5A new appreciation for Mother Nature

from blocking access in and out of Ramsey Bay. Basical-ly we were keeping an eye on things and that freed up the provincial forest fire-fighters so they could move deeper into the bush and at-tack the larger fire. It was a complete team effort at ev-ery level.” Brooman said the resi-dents of Ramsey Bay were very appreciative of the fire-fighters’ efforts. “They treated us very well,” said Brooman. “They made sure we had home-cooked meals, good accom-modation and all those things.” Brooman said seeing a for-est fire up close is an awe-inspiring experience. “It sure gives you an ap-preciation for what Mother Nature is capable of,” said Brooman. “At one point the fire was just across the bay from us, and the sound of it was like a jet engine. It was amazing to hear the roar of the fire a it gained speed and went through and con-

sumed everything in its path.” The sights and sounds of the battle against the fire were also impressive. “The pilots flying the wa-ter bombers and helicopters are amazingly skilled,” said Brooman. “They were flying at treetop level; so close you felt like you could almost reach out and touch them.” Brooman said that while the fire was basically all around the community, there was never any danger. “We knew the provincial guys had our backs,” said Brooman. “We weren’t wor-ried.” The City of Martens-ville was not left vulnerable while the firefighters were up north, added Brooman. “That’s one thing that Fire Chief Kurt Dyck wants to stress; that at no time was our city in any danger of be-ing left unprotected. There was always a trained crew at home that could, and did, respond to emergencies that came up.”

Rebuilding a section of Highway 225 north of High-way 312 near Batoche is complete, resulting in a bet-ter and safer drive for tour-ists visiting the National Historic Site. This thin membrane sur-face (TMS) road was up-graded to a paved road as the result of a landslide caused by flooding and ex-cessive moisture in 2012. The Ministry ofHighways manages about 26,000 kilo-metres of provincial high-ways across the province including more than 5,000 kilometres of TMS roads. This year, $74 million will be dedicated to thin mem-brane and rural highway upgrades. In addition to this proj-ect, about eight kilometres of Highway 2 near Hoey has been graded, around 14 ki-lometres of Highway 41 near Alvena is paved and a culvert has been installed south of Claydon on High-way 18 in the southwest cor-ner of the province. Meanwhile, five new proj-ects are underway includ-

ing seal coating, repaving and paving work. In addi-tion to regular maintenance there are 30 major projects ongoing across the prov-ince. With several forest fires burning in northern Sas-katchewan and reduced vis-ibility due to smoke, people are reminded to check out the Highway Hotline for the latest road and construction information. The status of ferries, barg-es and other road activities can also be found on the Highway Hotline. The weekly construction update provides Saskatche-wan residents with the lat-est details on projects un-derway to help plan safe and efficient travel through-out the summer and fall. Drivers are reminded to slow to 60 km/hr when passing highway workers and equipment and observe the posted speed limits in construction zones. The government has in-vested a record $5.2 bil-lion in transportation infra-structure since 2008.

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

Even before a single bal-lot is cast for the Oct. 19 election, you can expect big changes when it comes to who represents you in rural Saskatchewan. And while the odds re-main high that it will be a Conservative MP, that doesn’t mean that things are going quite the way the Conservatives had them mapped out. The latest political shock-er comes with the news that 15-year Conservative Black-strap MP Lynne Yelich won’t be representing any-one in the new riding of Saskatoon-Grasswood. The Minister of State for Consular Affairs was beat-en in the mixed urban-ru-ral riding (one of only two mixed seats in the prov-ince) by Saskatoon sports-caster Kevin Waugh. [The riding’s eastern and south-ern boundaries coincide with the eastern and south-ern boundaries of the RM of Corman Park.] It was both a bizarre and intrigu-ing turn of events for a cou-ple of reasons. First, Waugh; while like-ly enjoying some name rec-ognition; is hardly a politi-cal dynamo. He ran in 2003 for the Saskatchewan Par-ty, but lost to veteran NDP MLA Peter Prebble. Second, if there was go-ing to be a replacement for Yelich, one might have once assumed it would be a more seasoned politician in the form of long-time and proven Saskatchewan Par-ty MLA Ken Cheveldayoff. Cheveldayoff was key cog in the Sask. Party govern-ment, who was their first MLA elected in a major city and minister respon-sible for all the Crown cor-porations in Premier Brad Wall’s first cabinet. But the 12-year MLA’s ca-

reer seems to have stalled and he made it known that he was actively exploring support to run in the Sas-katoon-Grasswoods riding. The MLA was said to have signed up somewhere be-tween 700 and 1,000 names offering to support his bid; certainly enough to knock off Yelich if he chose to run against her. However, Cheveldayoff’s interest appeared to be con-ditional on not challenging a sitting MP and minister. That there appeared to be this unity and stability within conservative (both provincial and federal) ranks seemed a good thing. Having already lost John Baird, Peter MacKay and James Moore to retirement, the last thing one would think Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper wanted is to lose another cabinet min-

ister (albeit, a more junior one) to the nomination pro-cess. After all, Harper’s only other defeated sitting MP; disliked Calgary MP Rob Anders; had already become a messy affair. But rather than a show of stability, Waugh’s surprise win after a mere month of campaigning for the nom-ination seems to suggest trouble (or at least less sta-bility) afoot for the Conser-vatives. Why Yelich was unable to secure her seat is that the new riding is vastly differ-ent than her old rural one. In fact, the entire Saskatch-ewan federal electoral map; one that the Conservatives fought tooth and nail to pre-serve because of the large number of rural-urban seats that seemed to work to the Conservatives advan-tage; is gone. There are now more ur-ban seats in Saskatche-wan, which cannot bode well for the Conservatives. Add to this the talk of the First Nations communi-ty becoming active in this

particular election because of their many struggles and one is left to wonder about the prospects of Con-servative MP Rob Clarke in Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River. In fact, with the stronger showing in the polls of both the Liberals and the NDP in the polling, the notion of re-electing 13 of the 14 Sas-katchewan seems a lot more remote an idea than it once was. Sure, there will be Lib-eral/NDP vote splitting, which will not help either opposition party, especially in the largely rural ridings.But there is a big value of name recognition of the sit-ting MP; something most Saskatchewan federal Con-servatives have enjoyed for a decade now. Consider the loss of that name recogni-tion by retirement. Gone are: Ed Kormanicki, Mau-rice Vellacott, Ray Boughen and now Lynne Yelich. One way or another, we are destined to see a lot of new faces representing Sas-katchewan after Oct. 19.

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

Big changes happening for provincial Tories Growing a thick skin is one of the many talents Saskatch-ewanians have honed for dozens of years. We’ve had to. There’s no other way to survive the on-slaught of verbal attacks from across the country. Often the punchline for jokes from our neighbouring provinces, Saskatchewan didn’t have a lot to be proud of for a lot of years. Droughts, deficits and just being a flat and boring place to call home. We’re void of mountains, of oceans, and there’s not much in way of entertainment. Even the Saskatchewan Roughriders were a tough sell back in the day - a far cry from what they are now. Premier Brad Wall has been the face representing Sas-katchewan for the past eight years, and the province has experienced some of its best moments under his Saskatche-wan Party government. Record revenues from exports, bal-anced budgets and job growth are just a few reasons why now more people than ever call Saskatchewan home. But on Thursday at the annual Council of the Federation meetings with Canada’s premiers in St. John’s, Wall didn’t exactly show his true Saskatchewan colours. Rather than rolling with the punches, he was ready to throw punches (figuratively). Wall and Alberta Premier Rachel Notley exchanged words with regards to the Canadian Energy Strategy. In short, Walls wants the Energy East pipeline built to distrib-ute Canada’s valuable oil and gas to other regions. While Notley didn’t reject that notion, she was quick to point out that provinces need to take real action on climate change issues. (Sidenote: Climate change and other environmental con-cerns aren’t exactly high on the Saskatchewan Party’s to-do list. A show of hands if you can name Saskatchewan’s Envi-ronment Minister.) Wall’s quick temper and abrasive reaction to Notley is somewhat surprising. However, it’s not as though Wall hasn’t had run-ins with elected officials in the past. Last year, Wall took a cheap shot on social media at then-Que-bec Premier Pauline Marlois, in addition to scoffing at U.S. President Barack Obama’s lack of interest in the Keystone XL pipeline. Two people who didn’t share Wall’s beliefs quickly became the target of barbs. How mature. Notley acted with style and grace after Wall had his say on Thursday. The rookie premier offered advice to the vet-eran Wall by saying, “You don’t get things done by picking fights with people gratuitously, you do get things done by having good conversations.” Hopefully Wall took note of that. After all, it would be ex-hausting for a Saskatchewanian - Wall hails from the Swift Current area - to become verbally combative with every critical comment aimed at this province. Pick your battles and choose your words carefully, or develop a thicker skin and higher tolerance from critics. Quebec Premier Phillippe Couillard steered clear of the verbal jousting between Alberta and Saskatchewan, but did offer his thoughts on Canada’s approach to the environ-ment. “Unfortunately, our country has lost some credibility on the world stage,” he told reporters on Thursday. “Because we are an oil producer, we should be at the forefront of the fight against climate change...” Wall agreed. He added there needed to be a balance with Canada’s actions with the environment and its oil and gas production. But with oodles of both in his backyard, it’s no secret where his intentions lay. Wall didn’t do himself or the good people of Saskatche-wan, whom he represents, any favours with his poor atti-tude, which made national headlines. Leaders are expect-ed to take initiative, stand firm in what they believe and, most of all, lead. If every Saskatchewanian acted like Brad Wall did on Thursday among peers, what kind of reputation would we have?

– Moose Jaw Times Herald

Appreciation to good samaritan for helping an injured person Annie Peters of Warman was recently in difficul-ty when a kindly person stopped to help her. She walked to her car, parked on the street. She uses a cane, but she fell by the back of her car, so she started crawling to the

front to get to the door han-dles. One car went by and didn’t stop. Another car stopped and a man with a beard and longer hair got out, lifted her up and helped her get into her car. Annie’s elbow was bleed-

ing. Fortunately, she had some band-aids in her purse, so the man ban-daged up her elbow. She was going to give him some money for coffee as a way of saying thanks, but he was gone before she had a chance.

She doesn’t even know what kind of a car he drove, but she said: “A good samaritan helped me.” We are very grateful to the man for his kindness.

Martensville council pondersnew cell tower locationBy terrY [email protected] Martensville City Council is con-sidering a request by SaskTel to erect a new wireless tower at the intersection of Main Street and 10th Avenue North. The site has the advantage of providing the most effective cover-age to heavily-populated residen-tial areas. But it’s also in a highly-visible part of Kinsmen Park, one of the city’s showpiece green space areas. SaskTel has been in discussions with the city about a location for a new cell phone tower since 2012. A total of five sites in the south end of Martensville have been pro-posed by SaskTel, but all five were denied by city council for a vari-ety of reasons. A sixth site, at the southern boundary of the city, was proposed by the city but it was deemed unsuitable by SaskTel. SaskTel also leases a parcel of land in Martensville’s north end, but the company does not plan a tower in that location at this time because additional capacity in that part of the city is not current-ly needed.

CAPACITY STRAINED A cell tower has three coverage sectors extending outwards in dif-ferent directions, with a spacing of about 120 degrees between sectors. The cell towers also have a range of spectrum frequencies or “chan-nels” that are available in each coverage sector. Cell towers range in height from 15 meters to 45 me-ters; capacity and coverage range are also determined by whether the antennas are inside or outside the tower structure. Martensville currently is served by one wireless tower, and most of the load is being handled by just one of that tower’s three sectors. While there are currently no gaps in coverage, a new cell tow-er is needed because the capaci-ty of the existing towers is being strained by growing demand for both voice and data spectrum fre-quencies.

PREFERRED LOCATION In a presentation to Martensville council’s Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday, July 14, Da-

vid Hataley, a planner with Sask-Tel’s technology division, said the company’s preferred location is the best long-term solution. “We would like to get a site that is amongst the denser residen-tial area,” said Hataley. “We need to have the tower close to the peo-ple because the power decreas-es exponentially the further away you get. If we opt for a sub-optimal site in the south end of the city, it wouldn’t provide much in the way of coverage and capacity, and we would be back here before council in three or four years looking for another site again.” Based on the areas of expect-ed population growth in Martens-ville, particularly in the Lake Vis-ta area, a new cell tower needs to be located so it reaches those cus-tomers, said Hataley. “This site will give us optimum coverage and allows use of all three sectors, so that really boosts our capacity for service to custom-ers,” said Hataley.

COMPROMISE SOUGHT Martensville Mayor Kent Muench said while he understands the need for cell phone coverage and capacity, placing a cell phone tower in the city’s main park is less than ideal. “It’s not attractive at all,” said Muench. “I’m not saying this is a bad location, but it’s also at the in-tersection of two major traffic ar-teries. Can’t we move it a little bit further north so it’s not quite so visible?” Martensville city councilor Ter-ry Kostyna asked if other wireless companies will be able to share the tower, thereby allowing more efficient use of the facility. Hataley said the company will do its best to accommodate a compro-mise location in the same general area. He also noted that both Bell and Telus regularly use SaskTel towers; while an agreement with Rogers, which uses its own towers, is possible. SaskTel will bring back a re-quest after exploring its options. Council plans to make a decision on SaskTel’s request at a future meeting. The company will also hold public consultation meetings on any proposed new cell tower.

More residents cutting landline cordBy terrY [email protected] The majority of Saskatchewan residents under the age of 35 rely exclusively on cell phones, and do not have a landline phone at all. And more people are following their example every year, accord-ing to SaskTel. In 2013, 22 per cent of SaskTel’s landline phone subscribers cut the cord, according to the crown corporation. By the end of 2014, an estimat-ed 26 per cent of landline sub-scribers were expected to termi-nate their service in favour of cell

phones. SaskTel said nation-wide, 20 per cent of households use cellphones only, and there is growing reli-ance on wireless devices by a ma-jority of the population for 911 and other emergency calls. “The trend is growing for both wireless voice and data transmis-sion,” said David Hataley, a plan-ner with SaskTel’s technology di-vision. “Since 2010, the average customer on SaskTel’s 4G network is using more and more wireless data capacity. It’s grown from an average of 20 megabytes per cus-tomer per day to about 120 mega-

bytes per customer per day.” SaskTel says average monthly usage of wireless data is curent-ly at about three gigabytes per month. The company predicts that will grow to about 17 giga-bytes per month in five years time. In Martensville, the number of customers who rely exclusively on cell phones is rapidly increasing, said Hataley. He noted that data represents the biggest increase in wireless traffic, and as the loads increase, speed of transmission will slow down as the existing cell tower runs out of capacity.

Martensville organizations pitch in at NASCAR Velocity Prairie Thunder 250By TERRY [email protected] Martensville Fire Rescue mem-bers were suited up for action at the 2015 NASCAR Velocity Prai-rie Thunder 250 race event on Wednesday, July 15. Ryan Cross, Bruce Romanow, Ja-son Matheson and Mark Symons weren’t competing in the high-oc-tane, high-profile NASCAR Cana-dian Tire Series event, but they played a key role in making sure spectators, drivers and pit-crew personnel were safe. The Mar-tensville firefighters served as the emergency medical response team. As thousands of motorsport fans converged on Auto Clearing Motor Speedway, temperatures soared into the 30 degree range in the af-ternoon. The firefighters’ role was to provide medical assistance if an emergency arose. Members of the Martensville Li-ons Club, meanwhile, were also busy at the track. Club members

Martensville Fire Rescue (top) members Ryan Cross, Bruce Romanow, Jason Matheson and Mark Symons were on duty at the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series race July 15. Martensville Lions Club (left) members Carol Conrad, Syl Serblowski, Geoff Passy and Doug Ward were on hand to sell NASCAR programs.

were raising money for their nu-merous charitable causes through the sale of NASCAR Canadian Tires season programs. Lions Club President Syl Ser-blowski said the funds are regu-larly invested in community-based organizations and groups in Mar-tensville. “We’ve invested $5,000 over five years towards the Martens-ville Athletic Pavilion, and anoth-er $3,000 towards the Martens-ville Spray Park,” said Serblowski. “We’ve also put money towards the Lions Dog Guide program and an outdoor skating rink this year.” The club has helped sponsor in-dividuals attending the Lions Wil-derness Camp in northern Sas-katchewan every summer for the past 20 years. The club is actively involved in motor sports promotion, and is helping promote the Martensville A&W Street Stock 100, slated to take place Saturday, September 12.

inducted into Sask Hockey Hall of Fame The late Vic Lynn of Warman was one of several play-ers, builders, officials and teams who were inducted into the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Humboldt last weekend. Lynn, who moved to Warman with his young family after retiring from the NHL, owned and operated the Warman Hotel for many years. He was one of a group of citizens who helped build the original Diamond Arena and also founded and coached the Warman Wildcats hockey club. Lynn played with all of the NHL Original Six teams dur-ing his 20-year career in the major league. In a span of 327 games he collected 125 points and 274 penalty minutes. Lynn started his career in New York in 1942 playing with the Rangers for one game. Lynn spent the majority of his NHL career with the Toronto Maple Leafs. During his time with the Leafs he helped the team win three consecutive Stanley Cup Championships. After his playing career was over Lynn came back to Sas-katchewan to become the head coach of the Prince Albert Mintos and the Saskatoon Quakers Other inductees include Wendel Clark; Dave (Tiger) Wil-liams, Guyle Fielder, Dave King, Jackie McLeod, Gerry Rooney, Elgar Petersen, Kevin Muench, the Simpson Flyers, the 1933-34 Saskatoon Quakers, and the 2002-2003 Humboldt Broncos.

Win gives Steckly top spot in standings Scott Steckly of Milverton, On-tario roared to the front of the pack in the NASCAR Canadi-an Tire Series with a win in Saskatoon on Wednesday, July 15. Steckly won the Velocity Prai-rie Thunder 250 event in front of a capacity crowd at Auto Clearing Motor speedway. It was his sec-ond consecutive win in the series, having claimed top spot in a fea-ture race in Wetaskawin, Alberta the weekend before. Jason Hathaway of Oxbridge, Ontario took second place in the Saskatoon race, while Andrew Ranger of Roxton Pond, Quebec was third. Mark Dilley of Barrie, Ontario was fourth and Marc-An-toine Camirand of Trois-Rivieres, Quebec was fifth. The next event in the NASCAR Canadian Tire circuit is slated for July 25 in St. Eustache, Que-bec. The series concludes Septem-ber 19 in Peterborough, Ontario.


Pit crews were busy preparing for the Prairie Thunder 250 event on Wednesday, July 15 at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway. The event was part of the 2015 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.

The Warman Gems first game against the Saskatoon Cubs is set for

Saskatchewan defeated Al-berta 22-9 to capture bronze on Sunday July 19 at the 2015 Football Canada Cup from Cégep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu’s Alphonse-Desjar-dins Stadium in Quebec. “I’m really happy with the result,” said Saskatchewan head coach Kyle Stroeder. “We’ve got a great group of resilient players who battled through this entire tourna-ment. I’m really happy that they were able to walk away with a medal.” Lyle Evanisky, coach of the Martensville Royals and a member of the coach-ing staff of the Saskatoon Valkyries, was the quarter-backs coach for Team Sask. Three players from Warman are members of the bronze-medal winning team, including defensive back Joel Seiferling, defen-sive lineman Brandon McK-immon, and offensive line-

man Jesse Ens. Both teams capitalized on mental mistakes and turn-overs, leading to the majori-ty of the game’s points. First Alberta linebacker Joseph Dutton recovered a Sask fumble deep inside en-emy territory. Alberta took advantage as kicker Des-mond Catellier nailed a 17-yard field goal to give the wild rose province an early 3-0 lead. The score remained un-changed until the dying minutes of the opening quarter when the game was delayed due to a lightning storm. Team Sask took advan-tage of the weather delay to make some adjustments. “Our coordinators talk-ed to the guys and we had a little bit more of an oppor-tunity to shore some things up and tighten some areas that they might try to ex-

ploit a bit,” said Stroeder. “I can’t say anything but great things about our staff. They had these guys prepared for every game out here and I think it’s a great group of coaches and I’m pleased to have them as my coaching staff.” Coming out of the delay Saskatchewan was deter-mined to tie the game be-fore its midpoint. Starting at their own 40-yard line, Sask drove downfield to the Al-berta 30. With zeros on the clock Alex Lenius drilled a field goal to tie the game 3-3. Saskatchewan pulled ahead following a big break on their punt which was touched by an Alberta play-er and recovered at their op-ponent’s 16-yard line. With a short field, Sask took advan-tage as Kyle Borsa ran

Saskatchewan continued to roll offensively as a drive that began at their own 45-yard line culminated with a 2-yard Josh Ewaynchuna touchdown run to widen the green and white advantage

18-3 to end the third quarter. With just under a minute to play in the final quarter, Alberta added a touchdown on a 15-yard Catellier quar-terback keeper to narrow the Sask advantage 22-9.

Hopefully you didn’t come here to find answers for the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ 0-4 start to the 2015 CFL sea-son. Because today I got noth-in’. After calmly, and pri-vately, expecting the Roughriders to charge out of the gates 4-0 before a Week 5 showdown with the Ham-ilton Tiger-Cats at Mosaic Stadium this Sunday, I now find myself as confused as anyone with what’s gone on over the past month. The facts are the facts and they can be dissect-ed any way you want. The Green & White have lost their first four games by a combined 12 points. Three of those have been at home, and three have been against West Division opponents. All bad news. And if last Friday’s 27-24 loss to the visiting B.C. Li-ons is any indication, the team getting worse. It’s the first time all year they nev-

er had a lead at any point in a game. Injuries, of course, are a major factor. However, dur-ing the golden era of this club dating back to 2007, the use of injuries as an excuse has been beaten out of me. They’ve always seemed to be able to struggle and emerge. But not now. The Riders went into the B.C. game with 12 players on their injured list and it grew by a few more over the course of the game in-cluding stars Rob Bagg and Tristan Jackson. It truly im-pacted what they were able to do on the field. However, it was gut-wrenching to see the team take a time count violation and have to burn a time-out while on offense late in the game when they were at-tempting a rally. “We had some guys get hurt and when you have to mix and match, it’s gon-na take some more com-munication than normal,”

explained receiver Chris Getzlaf. “It won’t run as smoothly as you’re used to.” That was clear, and I sup-pose, understandable. The club also continued to strug-gle with the new pass inter-ference rule instituted by the CFL this spring. These things killed them Friday night. But the good teams adjust, band together, and find a way to overcome all obstacles. Unfortunately right now the Saskatchewan Roughriders simply aren’t a very good football team. “The one thing I’ll tell you is there’s no more tears in my eyes,” said a sombre Rid-er head coach Corey Cham-blin at his postgame news

conference. “What I mean by that is the worst has al-ready happened. So it’s time for us to stop worrying about what’s going to go on on the outside, who’s gonna get fired, who’s gonna talk bad, stop trying to answer the questions from the out-side and answer them from the inside. That’s what we have to do.” And just where did this talk of anybody being fired come from anyway? There’s been heat on Chamblin no doubt, but the first I heard of a firing came from Cham-blin himself Tuesday after-noon. “He’s a very sharp guy as you know,” Rider GM Bren-dan Taman confided to me

RIDER INSIDERROD PEDERSENVoice of the RidersRoughriders Radio Network

Team trying to stay positive despite rocky starton Friday. “I think you get to a point sometimes where you hear so much and you get that negativity around you and you think ‘Hey I’ve had enough of this’. He’s re-ally good (mentally). Corey is focused on winning mo-reso than anyone I’ve ever been around.“ Chamblin went so far as to say if he’s coaching some-where other than Saskatch-ewan next season, he’s pre-pared for it. But again, where did this talk come from all of a sudden? “He sure doesn’t want that to happen, that’s for sure,” Taman continued. “Like anybody in this busi-ness, we all get paranoid at some point. When you’re los-ing, a lot of things seep into your mind. But our focus is on getting this thing turned around.” Worrying about being fired isn’t going to help mat-ters so it’s best for Chamblin and his players to flush this from their minds entirely.

However, if they themselves don’t think better days are ahead, we truly can shut off the lights. But I know that’s not the case. The complainers are the same ones who griped back when the team was winning that they weren’t winning by enough points. Darian Durant wasn’t throwing for enough yards. Blah, blah, blah. Those people should have never been listened to in the first place. They love the scandal, the drama, and aren’t happy unless they’re unhappy. They demand per-fection from others yet are far from perfect themselves. It’s times like this that I recall a conversation I had with former Rider coach Danny Barrett a decade ago when he said, “You’re the team’s voice. If the team could speak, what would it say?” It would say, “Don’t give up on us yet.”

RCMP Constable Heidi Marshall has contributed her artistic skills to many police investigations involving missing persons and unsolved crimes.


Forensic artist draws on variety of skills to portray crime suspects

When police detectives in Saskatchewan are looking to identify a suspect from a grainy, out-of-focus surveil-lance video, odds are they’ll call on RCMP Constable Hei-di Marshall. Marshall, a 14-year vet-eran of the RCMP who has been with the Warman-Martensville RCMP detach-ment for the past two years, is one of three forensic art-ists in the province who are also active Mounties. She specializes in “compos-ite sketches” based on video surveillance, as well as de-scriptions of suspects based on interviews with witness-es. The sketches are invalu-able tools that often bring criminals to justice. Composite sketches are also used in missing per-sons investigations, partic-ularly in cases where “age progression” is needed to more accurately reflect what the person is likely to look like because of the passage of time. She’s also becom-ing increasingly skilled in sculpting facial reconstruc-tions from artists’ clay.

pieces of the puzzle “It’s like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle,” said Mar-shall in a recent interview. “It’s one of the tools that in-vestigators can use, and it can often make a big dif-ference in the outcome of a case.” Marshall said she fell into the field of forensic art al-most by accident. “I joined the RCMP in 2001 and my first posting was in Fort Qu’Appelle,” said Mar-shall. “After four years I de-cided I wanted to broaden my training and I attended a course in forensics put on by the Alberta medical ex-aminer’s office in conjunc-tion with the Edmonton Po-lice Service. I got interested in blood spatter analysis; and from there I drifted into forensic art. I got hooked af-ter taking a one-week inten-sive training course.” Marshall said she doesn’t consider herself a natural artist. “I really have to pay at-tention to details,” said

Marshall. “It’s all very technical, scientific, and ref-erence-related. A lot of it is measurement and listening carefully to descriptions.”

attention to details Marshall’s first case was for the Regina Police Ser-vice 10 years ago. “There was an offender who kept repeating sexual acts on

young kids at a bus stop,” she explained. “It was ran-dom. The Regina police had a criminal analyst come in and they also did map-ping so they could get a pat-tern of where he was offend-ing. I contacted them and offered my services. I was a little unsure if I could help, but I really needed the ex-perience. They said, ‘abso-

lutely, come and give us a hand.’ My first interview was with one of the chil-dren. Interviewing kids is a special skill in itself be-cause you have to be care-ful you don’t lead them. You have to let them do the talk-ing. But it went really well, and it turned out the sketch really helped them crack the case. Of course it was just

one part of a really detailed investigation. “But what really was cool was when they showed the sketch I had done to the sus-pect, and they asked him who it was, he replied: ‘Well, that’s me.’ “That was a big boost for me at the time. I look back at the sketch now and just laugh. It was pretty bad.

I’ve gotten a lot better in my technical drawing skills over the last 10 years.”

drawing a memory Marshall said forensic art-ists use “identification fact sheets” as the starting point in creating a sketch based on interviews with witness-es. “I do a composite inter-view where I get very specif-ic details, about what I need to draw the picture,” she said. “I do not draw photo-graphs. Basically I’m draw-ing a picture of the person’s memory. A lot of times, wit-nesses have a lot of appre-hension about sitting down with me initially. They say, ‘I only caught a fleeting glimpse of the person for a second and I don’t know if I can remember much’. But the interview is a process where we go through refer-ences. “If you see something that looks like what you remem-ber, you’re more apt to rec-ognize it and be able to iden-tify it, than just from your memory. “A lot of times people can’t articulate a description, so I ask specific questions, like, are the eyes close together or far apart, did the person have glasses, did they have any scars or tattoos; that sort of thing.” Marshall uses reference points based on other draw-ings. “You’re building a face off references, which are oth-er people’s faces,” she said. “I take that information and do an initial sketch, and then in a second interview we fine-tune the drawing. Normally, the initial sketch is very close to what the wit-ness remembers.”

surveillance photos Marshall also does sketch-es based on surveillance photos and videos, a skill that few other forensic art-ists in western Canada pos-sess. “A lot of times the video or photo is so fuzzy and

dark and out of focus that most people will say it’s not much value,” said Marshall. “It’s not ideal, but there’s always some-thing you can use. The way the light reflects off a person’s hood, for example, can give you an idea of the length and shape of their nose and their chin. Pro-portions are very important. “Also, you can see the build and general demeanor of the person; are they tall, short; are they slouched over? Usual-ly the guy’s personality comes through and I try and incorpo-rate that into my sketch. “I do sketches based on video surveillance that might not oth-erwise be identifiable,” she said. “This gives the police and the public something a little more concrete and identifiable to look at.” Marshall said she does all her sketches by hand. It may be old school, but it allows for subtle-ties that are hard to achieve us-ing digital technology. “It probably takes less time to use a template on a computer,” said Marshall. “But my person-al opinion is that I’m familiar and comfortable doing sketches by hand. I’m sure at some point there will be digital software where you can adjust things as well as a composite artist can, but I really prefer the freehand work.”

age progression Marshall also does work for the national missing persons unit in Ottawa. “This year already I’ve done four age progressions for them,” said Marshall. “When a person goes missing, you take a pho-tograph and do a sketch based on what they wold look like as they age over time. One recent one was for the oldest age pro-gression in Canada. It’s fasci-nating work, and it’s rewarding when you hear back from a po-lice agency saying they’ve made a positive identification based on your sketch.”

sculpting faces In addition to freehand sketch-es, Marshall has embarked on a different branch of forensic art: sculpting facial reconstructions

using artists’ clay and a model of a human skull. She recently completed a one-week course in Texas on the art. “I use a sulphur-free clay that stays malleable and won’t hard-en,” she said. A person’s features are “pegged out” and then the clay is applied. Details like eyes, hair, skin colour and teeth are added. Marshall said she always treats the reconstruction with the same respect she would an actual person. “When you’re talking about real human remains, you have to be sympathetic,” she said. “You have to be very careful and respectful. This person is someone’s loved one.”

school liaison officer Marshall, who is also a moth-er of small children, does foren-sic art work in her off-hours, when she’s not on duty at the detachment. “I do a lot of my work at a stu-dio in my home,” she said. “Or I’ll travel to other locations when I help in investigations with other police agencies.” Marshall said she generally averages one sketch per month, but can occasionally do up to half a dozen in the course of a month. Marshall is the Warman-Mar-tensville detachment’s school liaison officer; a duty which keeps her busy working in the dozens of schools throughout the detachment area. She said one way she communicates with youngsters is by telling them about her forensic art. In some cases, she’s even helped mentor kids with their own art-work. “Community policing is all about making a difference for the kids,” she said. “I really en-joy mentoring students, because sometimes they just need that one-on-one time. They need to feel special.” She says anyone can be trained to draw. “I can teach anyone to draw a face very well in a matter of an hour,” she said. “I’m convinced every per-son has the ability. Anyone can learn.”

Assisting with finding missing persons


The Water Security Agen-cy and the Saskatchewan Min-istry of Health are advising the public of the potential for the formation of blue-green al-gae blooms, also known as cy-anobacteria, in water bodies across the province. There have been some re-ports of blue-green algae blooms forming in certain ar-eas and residents are asked to avoid direct contact and any intended or unintended con-sumption of any surface water where blooms are occurring. Pet owners and livestock pro-ducers are also advised to keep their animals away from such water. Blue-green algae blooms commonly occur during calm, hot weather in lakes and reser-voirs with shallow, slow mov-ing or still water that has suf-ficient nutrients. The blooms can last up to three weeks and can be pushed around the lake

or reservoir by the wind. Blue-green algae blooms are heavy concentrations of these algae, which often give the wa-ter a shimmering, foamy and often pea soup appearance. The blooms may be blue-green, bright blue, grey or tan in colour. The recent warm tem-peratures in Saskatchewan may result in the quick forma-tion of algae blooms. Direct contact or unintend-ed consumption of algae-con-taminated water can cause red skin, sore throat, cramps, nau-sea, vomiting and diarrhea. In addition, caution should be taken when considering the consumption of fish or shell-fish caught in areas of a wa-ter body where a bloom exists; the internal organs of the fish should not be eaten. If you have health-related questions about blue-green al-gae, please contact your local health region office.

Be wary of algae blooms, warns WSA

By JAMES [email protected] Waking up to the strong smell of smoke is not the way Saskatoon resident Ashley Crooks expected to be disturbed from her sleep in the early morning hours on July 15. Crooks and brother Bran-don Hering were two of the three residents renting a house located at 2126 Lorne Avenue when lightning stuck the upper level caus-ing a fire inside the wall and leaving a hole inch-es away from where Hering was sleeping. It was an experience Crooks said she will never forget. “I could see smoke in the house and I was walk-ing around trying to find where the smoke was com-ing from. I then realized it was coming from Brandon’s room,” said Crooks.“We im-mediately decided that we both had to get out of the house.” Crooks said it took only minutes for the outside wall of the house to go up in flames shortly after they walked outside. She said she wouldn’t have known the house was on fire if it wasn’t for basement tenant Angelene Wiebe who text-ed Crooks shortly after she heard the lightning strike, smelled smoke and immedi-ately called 911. “I was in bed when she texted me and she was like ‘Hey, I smell smoke down-stairs is everything okay upstairs?’ I said ‘Oh I was in bed. I don’t really know what you are talking about.’We didn’t hear, smell or see anything. I only got up be-cause she texted me.” The siblings were new ten-ants who barely moved into the apartment two weeks ago and still had some un-packing to do when the lightning strike occurred. The house has fire smoke detectors located on each level of the house, but when the lighting hit the house it knocked out the electrical circuit box that fed wiring to the alarms, which caused

them not to work, said land-lord of the house Wayne Le-mauviel. “The fire alarms are all hard wired, which is code now. So where the light-ning struck it had actual-ly hit the power supply line, the circuit that powers all of the fire alarms so they didn’t actually go off, they just started beeping the way they normally do when the power is out,” said Lemau-viel. Deb Davies, acting as-sistant fire chief with Saskatoon Fire Department, said lightning strikes caus-ing structure fires is an ex-tremely rare occurrence. “It is not common that lighting will strike a struc-ture and then result in a fire. Lightning is usual-ly looking for taller struc-tures, such as poles, trees, and high rises.” Davies said Wiebe’s quick response when she smelled smoke allowed all residents to get out safely and allowed

the fire department to react quickly. Crews only need-ed 30 minutes to put the fire out. Crooks and Hering are staying with family and friends until repairs can be made, which Lemauviel said there is no confirmed time line. He said his insurance company is in the process of obtaining quotes from lo-cal contractors to repair the damage. The fire caused about $50,000 in damage, and destroyed all applianc-es and devices owned by Crooks and Hering from the electrical power surge caused by the lightning as well as articles of clothing by smoke and water dam-age. The unfortunate thing is both siblings never had fire insurance. Shortly af-ter her fire scare Crooks said she couldn’t stop think-ing about the possibilities of what could have happened. She said she will be forev-er grateful for Wiebe’s quick thinking and the Saskatoon Fire Department’s quick re-sponse to control and extin-guish the blaze.
