The following is the local me-dia release for the Warman De-tachment of the Royal Cana-dian Mounted Police for the two-week period of February 16 to March 2. The Warman RCMP Detachment serves the area north and west of Saskatoon, with detachment offices in the communities of Warman, Martensville, Radis-son and Delisle.

DRIVING IN WRONG LANE On February 17 at 7:20 a.m. police received a complaint of a two vehicle accident on Highway 14 near Saskatoon. A 31-year-old male from Denare Beach and a 24-year-old female from Grandora were involved in the accident. Investigation into the accident revealed the vehicle driven by the male en-tered the oncoming lane of traf-fic and the vehicle driven by the female hit the ditch to avoid a collision. There were no in-juries. The male was issued a ticket for driving without due care and attention. The vehi-cle required towing from the scene.

SLIPPERY ROADS Police received numer-ous complaints of minor acci-dents on Highway 11 and 12 on Thursday, February 19 due to bad road conditions. Drivers are reminded to drive with cau-tion on quickly changing road conditions at this time of year.

HIGHWAY 16 ROLLOVER On February 19 at 10:45 p.m. police received a com-plaint of a single vehicle roll-over on Highway 16 year Radis-son. A 25-year-old male from Saskatoon lost control of his ve-hicle on the icy road, entered the ditch and rolled. Police and MD Ambulance attended the scene and the male was trans-ported to hospital with minor injuries. The vehicle required towing from the scene.

ROAD RAGE DRIVER On February 21 at 10:00 a.m. police received a complaint of an erratic driver on Highway 11 near Warman. The caller re-ported while they were driving from Saskatoon to Warman, a truck was driving very ag-gressively and almost forced her off the road. The caller felt the truck was exhibiting road rage type driving. Police made patrols of the area, but were unable to locate any vehicles matching the description pro-vided.

DRIVING TOO FAST On February 22 at 4:20 p.m. police received a complaint of a two-vehicle collision in Warman. Police attended and

determined a vehicle driven by a 37-year-old female from Warman was unable to stop on ice and collided with a vehicle pulling a snowmobile trailer. The female was given a ticket for driving at a speed that was greater than reasonable and safe.

IMPAIRED DRIVER On February 23 at 2:10 a.m. police stopped a vehicle on Highway 11 for speeding. The driver showed signs of consum-ing alcohol. The 35-year-old male from Saskatoon was tak-en back to the Detachment to provide a breath sample. He was released on documents for an upcoming court date in Saskatoon. The vehicle was towed from the scene.

MYSTERIOUS NOISES On February 18 at 2:05 a.m. police received a complaint of a possible break and en-ter in progress at a residence in Warman. The caller report-ed they could hear banging in the basement of thier residence and was afraid. Police attended and found the residence to be secure and could not locate the source of the noise. There were no injuries or charges.

TRUCK STOLEN On February 18 at 12:17 p.m. police received a complaint of a theft of a truck on Highway 14 near Grandora. The vehicle was left unlocked, and did not have keys inside. RCMP Foren-sic Identification Services at-tended the location and assisted in attempting to obtain finger-prints. Investigation into this matter is ongoing.

JUST PLUGGING IN On February 22 at 1:30 a.m. police received a complaint of a possible break and enter in progress to a business near Langham. Police attended the scene and found it was the em-ployees of the business plug-ging in work vehicles due to the extreme cold temperatures. There were no charges.

DRUNK AND DISORDERLY On February 18 at 10:20 p.m. police received a complaint of a disturbance at a residence in Martensville. The complainant advised a family member was intoxicated and causing prob-lems in the residence. The 41- year-old male left the residence for the night to prevent any fur-ther problems. There were no charges.

DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE On February 18 at 10:30 p.m. police received a complaint of a domestic disturbance at a res-idence in Martensville. The 37-year-old female complainant reported she was assaulted by her 40-year-old male boyfriend. Police attended and arrest-ed the male for assault and re-leased him on documents for an upcoming court date.

Investigation ongoing into murder of former Martensville resident on British Columbia reserve Police are continuing their investigation into the death last week of 26-year-old Kyle Syrenne, a former Martensville resident who recently moved to Victoria, BC. Syrenne died on Tuesday, February 24 from injuries he suffered during an early-morn-ing assault three days before on the Songhees First Nation re-serve just outside Victoria.

According to police, Syrenne was walking to his girlfriend’s home on the reserve about 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 21 when four people got out of a taxi and viciously attacked him. He died in hospital of his in-juries. His parents, Roland and Tracey, as well as his broth-er Riel, flew from Saskatche-wan to Victoria to be with him

in hospital after they learned of the assault. Kyle Syrenne grew up in Martensville. He moved to Vic-toria in November, 2013, where he worked as a tile-setter. Police are asking for the pub-lic’s assistance in identifying the four attackers: two wom-en and two men. The assail-ants apparently hailed a taxi at an intersection in Victoria

and asked to go to the reserve. When they were dropped off, they told the cab driver to come back in 10 or 15 minutes, but did not say why. When the cab driver re-turned, the four people jumped back into the cab and told the driver to take them to Topaz Park. The surveillance video footage from the cab has been turned over to the RCMP.

Gazette a finalist for newspaper awards The Clark’s Crossing Ga-zette and its staff have been named as finalists in 11 Sas-katchewan Weekly Newspa-pers Association (SWNA) Bet-ter Newspaper Competition award categories for 2015. The newspaper is a finalist for Best Overall Newspaper in Class E (circulation over 6,500) for the third time in five years. Other nominees in-clude the Swift Current Prai-rie Post and NWT Territories News North. The Gazette won the award in 2011. Reporter/Photographer Ter-ry Pugh is a finalist in five

categories: Best Saskatche-wan Arts or Cultural Story, Best Business Writing, Best Health Care Coverage - Single Story, Best Colour Photo, and Best Hard News Photo. Re-porter/Photographer Wayne Shiels has been nominated for five awards including Best Habitat Conservation Writing, Best People Photo, Best Wild-life Photo, Best Sports Photo, and Photographer of the Year. Reporter/Photographer James Tarrant is also a finalist for Best Sports Photo along with Shiels. “Without a doubt, these

across Saskatchewan and the NWT. In addition to five circula-tion classes of General Excel-lence categories for Best Front Page, Best Editorial Page and Best Overall Newspaper, hun-dreds of entries from across the province are judged in 32 premier award categories for individual excellence in jour-nalism. The 2015 Better Newspapers Competition awards will be presented at the 98th Annual SWNA Convention to be held in Saskatoon on April 25.

Eight men are facing a total of 30 charges following a lengthy investigation into a dial-a-dope operation in Saskatoon. The investigation by members of the Saskatoon Integrated Drug Enforcement Street Team led to the arrests and the exe-cution of search warrants at four residences in Saskatoon over the weekend. With support from Patrol, the Air Support Unit, Tactical Support Unit, Saskatoon Intelligence Unit, Saskatoon Gang Unit, and members from the Integrated Organized Crime North, investigators located more than $70,000 in cash, 208.5 grams of hard cocaine, and 5.6 grams of soft cocaine. The men, ranging in age from 20 to 36, are facing charges including possession for the purpose of trafficking and posses-sion of the proceeds of crime. Two of the men were found to be in breach of court conditions in Alberta. The men are expected to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court on Monday, March 2, 2015. Integrated Organized Crime North (which includes SIDEST) is an integrated unit made up of members of the Saskatoon Po-lice Service and RCMP F Division.

Lt. Tom Moody of Dalmeny Fire Rescue service checks the reading on a carbon monoxide (CO) tester after responding to a call at a home on Wakefield Avenue in Dalmeny on

Thursday, February 26

Carbon monoxide detectors save lives, say Fire Rescue responders

By TERRY [email protected]


Better safe than sorry. Dalmeny Fire Rescue and Dalmeny Police Service per-sonnel responded to a 911 call about a carbon monoxide alarm at a residence in Dalmeny at about 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 26. Tests by firefighters revealed the air inside the house was fine and there was no danger to the residents. But every carbon monox-ide alarm is taken seriously, according to Lt. Joanne Elder with Dalmeny Fire Rescue. “Carbon monoxide is a co-lourless, odorless gas,” said El-der in an interview during the emergency call last week. “The only way that it can be detect-ed is through CO detectors. So a person may never know until it is too late that there is a prob-lem in their house.” Carbon monoxide poison-

ing can happen from faulty fur-naces, space and water heat-ers, clothes dryers, and cars left running in garages. Breathing in too much can make you sick, and even kill you within min-utes. Low levels of carbon monox-ide poisoning can be confused with flu symptoms, food poison-ing or other illnesses and car-ry a long-term health risk if left unattended. Some of the symp-toms are: shortness of breath, mild nausea, and mild head-aches. Moderate levels of CO ex-posure can cause death if the following symptoms persist for a long measure of time: head-aches, dizziness, nausea and light-headedness. High levels of CO can be fatal causing death within minutes. The most im-portant treatment is to get the victim to fresh air immediately. Elder said every home should have a CO detector,. She add-ed that regular maintenance of CO detectors is important.

“Make sure you change out your batteries if your CO detec-tor is a battery-operated unit,” she said. “It’s also important to make sure that you check your chimneys and all your gas ap-pliances to make sure every-thing is venting properly.” Elder said problems some-times occur during periods of alternating cold and mild tem-peratures. “Mild conditions tend to get snow and ice melting around vents, and then if it suddenly becomes very cold, then you’ll get freezing. If there is ice cov-ering a vent, then you could de-velop problems.” Differences in humidity be-tween the air inside a home and outside the home dur-ing very cold spells can also sometimes lead to ice buildup around vents, said Elder. “It’s always a good idea to check these things regularly,” she said. “It’s always better to be safe than sorry.”

Dalmeny preparing groundwork for growth



Commuters in Dalmeny could be filling up at a gas sta-tion in their home community in the near future. “We have signed an agree-ment with a petroleum com-pany that will result in the construction of a gas station and convenience store,” said Dalmeny Mayor Nick Bakker. “We can’t go into any details at this point because there are still some issues to be worked out, but it’s in the works and hopefully it will be built by 2016.” That’s one of the big projects in store for the growing com-munity of roughly 2,000 resi-dents in the next year or so, as Dalmeny’s town council and administration prepares to re-vamp its Official Community Plan (OCP) and tweak its zon-ing bylaws. A motion was adopted at the Dalmeny town council’s Febru-ary 23 meeting to proceed with updating the OCP. “It’s a good idea to keep it re-newed every five years or so,” said Bakker, who was elected to the post of mayor in a byelec-tion last October following the resignation of Allan Earle. “We want to stay abreast of what’s happening in our neighbouring communities as well. “We’re currently in good shape as far as our infrastruc-ture capacity goes, but we have applied for a Building Cana-da Fund grant to go towards a new pumphouse and reservoir. For the most part we’re looking to ensure we’re able to keep up with the expected growth and maintain and replace infra-structure as it ages.” The anticipated cost of the pumphouse and reservoir is about $2.5 million. If the Build-ing Canada Fund application is successful, the town would be responsible for about one-third of the cost, with the provincial and federal governments pick-ing up the other two-thirds. The other big project for the town is the proposed construc-tion of three storm ponds in strategic areas of the communi-ty. These ponds would ease the impact of sudden severe rain-storms as well as faster-than-normal snowmelt in the spring. The ponds are estimated to cost $1.5 million, and an application

has been made under a disas-ter mitigation program to cost-share the project three ways with senior levels of govern-ment. Bakker said the town is still a couple of months away from adopting a new budget, noting the provincial government’s de-cision on funding levels for mu-nicipalities is an area of con-cern. “We won’t know what’s going to happen until the provincial budget comes down,” said Bak-ker. “But we’ve certainly been warned by Premier Wall that the funds may not be as free-flowing as they were in the past because of the drop in oil reve-nues. We may not get what we were promised, and we have to be cognizant of that.” Dalmeny’s new Chief Admin-istrative Officer (CAO), Jim Weninger, started in the posi-tion in early January. He re-places former CAO Shelley Funk, who retired at the end of December after two decades of service to the community. Weninger is a former ad-ministrator for the towns of Rosthern and Unity, and also served as economic devel-opment officer in the City of Lloydminster for ten years. He served as President of the Ur-ban Municipal Administrators Association of Saskatchewan. Weninger said the town is gradually paying off debts on major projects, including its la-goon, lift stations, town office building ad arena. “A lot of those debentures were paid off last year or will be paid off this year,” said Weninger. Bakker said he’s committed to holding a public meeting for all ratepayers and residents on Wednesday, May 20. “When we had our candi-dates meetings last fall dur-ing the byelection, I said that I would really like to engage the public and we’re going to do that,” said Bakker. “We’re go-ing to start with our first meet-ing on May 20. It will be a kind of ‘state of the union’ presen-tation, and then we’re hoping to hear from our residents. I’m looking for feedback and issues that are of concern.” Weninger added the timing of the meeting would probably be appropriate because it would happen shortly after the munic-ipal budget is unveiled.

The RM of Corman Park is looking for clarity from Com-munity Planning, a branch of the Ministry of Government Relations, about how late revi-sions can be made to the Con-straint Overlay Map areas pro-posed in the 5 per 1/4 bylaws 25/14 and 26/14. On July 21, 2014 the RM gave third readings to both bylaws which were the revised 5 per 1/4 or 3 per 80 acre residential bylaw amendments. RM Administration then sub-mitted a bylaw package to Com-munity Planning, but did not hear much feedback other than the fact that the bylaws were sent to their referral agencies for comment. In January 2015 RM Admin-istration said most stakehold-ers favoured the bylaws, but they were waiting to hear back from the Ministry of Agricul-ture. Direction was then given to RM Administration to fol-low-up with Community Plan-ning to inquire about referral comments, and at a January 19 Council Meeting a letter from Reeve Judy Harwood on behalf

of council was sent to the Min-ister of Agriculture regarding the delays in receiving the final approval. Community Planning did indicate that comments were pending from the Town of Dalmeny and the City of Mar-tensville.

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

Before we re-enter the mess that has emerged out of the decision by the Loon Lake fire department to not attend a deadly fire at the Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation, let us be clear about a few things. The fire chief and department clearly had no way of knowing that the lives of two-year-old Harley Cheenanow and 18-month-old Hai-ley Cheenanow were at risk when it made its decision. The arrival of the fire truck from the community 10 kilometres would not have likely made a difference, anyway. By the time RCMP arrived, the reserve home was so engulfed in flames that saving the children would not have been possible any-way. Chief Richard Ben of Makwa Sah-gaiehcan band was given full and fair warning that fire protection services were being cut off in Jan-uary over a $3,360.89 bill for servic-es that was in arrears. An acknowl-edgment of this reality can be found in a letter bearing Ben’s signature. There were funds available from the federal government; some $40,000; dedicated to paying for ex-actly these services. While Chief Ben maintains the money was used for preventative fire measures like smoke detectors, the bills had to be paid to ensure this reserve of 1,000 people was properly protected in the event of a fire. There was a working fire truck on the reserve itself. That it didn’t

have the proper fittings for the hos-es or that it might not have start-ed on this cold February night be-cause the shed it was once housed in burned down are issues that the Chief and Band council needed to address long ago. And, finally, the Town of Loon Lake has no obligation to provide fire services beyond its own jurisdic-tion, meaning there was no legal rea-son why its firefighters had to attend. Moreover, with no joint agreement in place, there was the messy matter of no insurance coverage if the vol-unteer members had been hurt. So by all measures, the right thing happened that fateful night the two children died when the Loon Lake fire department chose not respond to that 9-1-1 call? Notwithstanding what you just read, my guess is a lot of you; even those of you who say you don’t fault the Loon Lake fire department for acting the way they did; have your nagging doubts. How could this possibly be the right outcome? No matter how re-mote a chance there might have been to save the toddlers; babies who clearly bore no responsibility for the decisions made by the adults

who were supposed to be there to protect them; a fire truck should have been there to do whatever it could. That is the way it is supposed to be in rural Saskatchewan. We look out for each other; especially in the middle of a cold winter’s night. We look out for our neighbours and es-pecially our neighbour’s children. This is not to condemn the vol-unteers with the Loon Lake fire de-partment for their decision, but it is to say that neither they nor any oth-er volunteer firefighters should ever again be put such a no-win situation again. To ensure they aren’t, we need to do a whole lot of things differently. We need to ensure that reserves are affording their people as much fire protection safety as the can. That means better building-code standards on reserves, required smoke detectors in homes and bet-ter parenting to ensure such pre-ventable tragedies don’t happen. We need a system where pay-ments from reserves are ensured. Maybe payments to local firefight-ers should come directly from the federal government. Or how about a joint provincial government/Sas-katchewan Indian Gaming Author-ity Fund that could properly insure volunteer firefighters (both from towns and First Nations) and arbi-trate any disputes? Whatever it takes, we must find a better way.

Fire safety must be first priority

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

By Aaron WudrickCanadian Taxpayers’ Federation

For decades, governments in Canada have funneled billions of dol-lars into the coffers of private, for-profit businesses. It’s hard to pin down an exact figure for this largesse, so numerous are the programs

and forms: “grants,” “loans,” “investments” and so on. Some of the familiar names include such downtrodden businesses as Pratt & Whitney, Bombardier and General Mo-tors. Many of these programs have continued, virtually un-changed, regardless of the stripe of government in power. To-day, even governments that otherwise are at odds with each other on virtually every other issue – take the federal and Ontario governments – will find that one point of agreement is that there’s essentially no business too big or too small un-worthy of taxpayer money. We’re often told about the “private sector jobs created” as a result of these “investments.” No one seems to stop and ask some obvious questions. If the only reason these jobs exist is because a government is transferring public money to a company so that they hire people, in what way are these private sector jobs? How is this different than the government just hiring more people directly? If these investments are so sound, why are no private in-vestors taking up the offer? Surely the prospect for a sure thing would have a lot of takers. And if the investment isn’t sound, why is the government of Canada risking taxpayer dollars on it? If politicians want to gamble, they should go to a casino, and use their own mon-ey. They shouldn’t be doing it with public funds. We are also often told that Canadian governments “must compete in the global economy.” Every other government is funneling tax dollars into their own “strategic” industries.

So surely Canada has to do the same? Except we don’t. There is no compelling reason why Canada needs to be in the busi-ness, for example, of manufacturing of airplane engines. And if oth-er countries want to subsidize the production of goods that Canadi-ans can then buy, so much the better: then all Canadians can benefit from their foolishness. Meanwhile, with freed up capital and resourc-es, savvy Canadian entrepreneurs can look for new opportunities in new fields. The very idea that governments should always rush to the rescue of businesses in the name of saving jobs turns basic economic princi-ples on their head. The reason that real, sustainable jobs are created and continue to exist, it is because they create a product or service that meets a need in the marketplace. If we are going to start ignoring this very basic fact, we may as well have the government “create jobs” by paying individuals $50 an hour to dig holes and then fill them back up again, because the waste of economic resources is little different. Worst of all, government subsidies send exactly the wrong message to businesses: that the way to succeed isn’t to compete in the market and win by offering higher quality and lower prices, but to come beg-ging to the government for help – and to use the threat of pulling out jobs as a way to blackmail nervous governments into handing over public dollars. Sadly, the precedent for this madness was set long ago. Politicians love the photo-op and ribbon cutting opportunities. Too many busi-nesses love the free money. Only the tax-paying public loses.

CLARIFICATIONIn the February 26 edition of the Clark’s Crossing Gazette, the name of the personal care home referred to in an article entitled ‘New Care Home opens in Warman’ is Warman Neu-care.

Fire hall tours educatekids about staying safe



Pre-school and elementary school-age chil-dren in Warman have a good understanding of what to do in case of a fire, thanks to a program run by Warman Fire Rescue. About 50 kids pass through the Warman Fire Hall every week on two-hour tours conducted by Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin and other members of the department. As they get a first-hand look at the inside of fire trucks and even try on firefighters’ turnout gear, the kids are so busy having fun they prob-ably don’t realize they’re learning valuable les-sons. Every winter, dozens of classes from pre-schools, kindergarten and primary grades take field trips to the fire hall. It’s all part of helping the kids feel comfortable around emergency per-sonnel, and teaching them what to do in case of fire, explained Austin.

Pipeline upgrades to impact water

supply in and around Martensville

Upgrades to the Saskatoon North Potable Water Supply (SAPONTH) system will be made by SaskWater over the next three weeks. According to the City of Martensville administra-tion, the work was set to be-gin March 1 and is expected to continue until March 20. The work is set to take place in three separate phases. Phase 1 of the SAPONTH upgrades was slated to occur on Sunday, March 1 and Mon-day, March 2. The work was likely to impact system con-nections that supply water to Martensville at various times. While some rural areas may be affected, the water flows into the Martensville North and South reservoirs may be only slightly lower than normal. Martensville public works staff ensured wa-ter levels were maximized pri-or to the work starting, so that the water flow rate to res-idents was not affected. Phase 2 is set to begin Sun-day, March 8 and will contin-ue until Tuesday, March 10. This phase will interrupt the water supply to the Martens-ville south reservoir. Phase 3 will take place from Sunday, March 15 to Tues-day, March 17, and will inter-rupt water supply to the city’s north reservoir. In both cases, according to Martensville administra-tion, water levels will be max-imized prior to the work com-mencing so that flow rates to residents are not affected. In each of the phases, Sask-Water will issue a Public Drinking Water Advisory to rural areas in Corman Park surrounding the project. The drinking water advisories, however, will not apply to the City of Martensville.

“We explain things to them in language they can understand,” he said. “And we get them to practice things so they know how to do it if the need ever arises.” One of those exercises is called “stop, drop and roll,” and is the best way of putting out flames if your clothing catches fire, said Austin. In the exercise, the kids don a specially-made white vest, and velcro “flames” are attached on the child’s back. The child then rolls over and over on a carpet. As they do so, the velcro flames become attached to the carpet instead of the vest. It’s a visual way of showing the kids that this puts out the fire. Every child in the class goes through the ex-ercise and feels a sense of pride when they suc-cessfully accomplish the task. Warman Fire Rescue has been conducting school tours for many years, and they always try to change things up to keep it fresh and in-teresting, said Austin.

Five students at Hague High School will get the opportunity to challenge the province at the My Ro-bot RUMBLE SUMObot Challenge at Saskatchewan Polytechnic on March 26. The history of the challenge dates back to March 2009 when Saskatche-wan Polytechnic campuses in Moose Jaw and Saskatoon hosted more than 160 high school students for the first ever SUMObot robotic competi-tion. During the fifth anniversary of the competition in 2013 the competi-tion entertained about 200 students from 49 schools from across the prov-ince. Brett Berry, vice-principal of Hague High School, said Saskatch-ewan Polytechnic reaches out to school divisons who are interested in having new schools participate in the project. When a school agrees, they are furnished with unassembled robots that students then build, modify and program. Barry set up two courses at the school. Robot 20 is a foundational course that teaches students about

circuit boards and how they work, how to add electronic modifications to the board and how to control ev-erything with basic computer lan-guage, said Berry. The Robot 30 course provides stu-dents with the opportunity to strate-gize and test what they have learned and how to problem solve when things go wrong. “What is cool about it is that it is a basic programming language and they really get the foundational ideas of ‘loops’ and ‘if,’ ‘then’ and other kinds of statements, which are real-ly applicable to every programming language,” said Barry. “They [com-puter programmers] might call it something different, but the founda-tions of programming are there.” This year will be Hague High School’s second year entering the competition, explained Barry. “Last year I considered it to be a great year because we had never seen or done anything like this be-fore and we were competing against all kinds of big schools from all over the province. We won over half of our matches which, for me, was fan-tastic.” Students who compete in the com-petition pair up in teams of two in a circular sumo ring. The goal is to stay in the ring while

pushing the oppos-ing robot out of the ring. The robot that stays in the ring the longest wins the match and the top prize for the com-petition is a $1,500 post-secondary en-trance scholarship and an iPod Touch. JP Deprez is a Grade 12 student at Hague High School who said he learned a lot from the courses. “After you take

the foundation course and apply what you have learned, you are no longer crunching numbers and try-ing to get your robot to move for-ward, you are trying to outsmart other people’s strategies,” said Deprez. “I had no idea about gear ra-tios or torque or anything about that before I started this project.” Deprez said the multi-disciplinary approach is what makes learning about robots and how they work so enjoyable. “I am a very competitive person

and I love programming. As recently as last summer I took an early start program at the University of Sas-katchewan for computers. At the uni-versity I found the course was more logical thinking, but with SUMObots the programming is more applied and deals with the sciences more. Things like that, especially science, I am interested in, so it has been fun all around,” said Deprez. Barry said Hague is one of only five Prairie Spirit School Division lo-cations that have competed in the

My Robot RUMBLE SUMObot com-petition over the years. However, he hopes more division schools will par-ticipate. “It is all about problem solving. I am a math teacher and I like math not so much for the computation, be-cause it’s all about new situations and figuring out how to solve prob-lems. “This SUMObot project is multi-disciplinary. It gives students a unique opportunity in our school di-vision and in our province.”

100-year-old Langham senior home resident lives life to the fullest


Mae O’Brien, a long-time resident of Saskatoon who moved to the Langham Senior Citizens Home last summer, turned 100 years old on March 2. She grins when she’s asked where she met her husband, Art. “At the Nut House,” she re-plies. True story. In the 1940s, the Nut House was a small operation between the old Caswell’s clothing store and a liquor board outlet on Second Avenue in Saskatoon. The store sold roasted nuts that were prepared in-house, and Mae worked there as a young woman after moving to the big city from Asquith, where she was born and raised. The Second World War was raging, and a young sailor lad named Arthur O’Brien came into the Nut House, ostensi-bly to buy some nuts. A mutu-al friend of Art and Mae intro-duced them, and it wasn’t long before they started dating. When Art came back from the war, the couple got mar-ried in 1947, and Art earned

his steam engineer papers. He landed a job with the Saskatch-ewan Power Corporation and eventually became the manag-er of the power plant in Prince Albert before moving his fam-ily back to Saskatoon where he managed the AL Cole and Queen Elizabeth power plants. It was Mae’s first marriage and Art’s second. Mae and Art made a great pair, said their daughter Pat McBeath in an in-terview following a birthday party for Mae at the Langham Senior Citizens Home on March 2. “They both loved sports, and Mom has always had a great sense of humour,” said Mc-Beath. “She’s also been a very caring person all her life, and it’s nice to know she’s living in a place where she’s well taken care of. In a way, it’s come full circle.” Art passed away in 1999 at the age of 87. McBeath said her mother played many sports when she was growing up. “She played first base with competitive softball teams, and was a very good high jumper. She cleared five feet the same year that Saskatoon Olympian Ethel Catherwood set a world

record of five feet, two inches,” said McBeath. “She also had a beautiful singing voice, and still does. During the war, she sang with two ‘Andrews Sis-ters’-type vocal groups. One was called the Milk Maids, and the other was called We Three. They performed with the big bands at the Bessbor-ough and the Capitol Theatre in Saskatoon during the 1940s.” Mae was also an all-star five-pin bowler in her young-er years, regularly racking up 300 single-game scores and 900 three-game scores. After she and Art were mar-ried, Mae became a stay-at-home mom like most of her contemporaries in the 1950s. Daughter Pat was born in 1950, and grew up very close to her older sister Joanne, who was Art’s daughter from his first marriage. Joanne currently lives in Chilliwack while Pat lives in Saskatoon. Mae and Art were very encouraging and supportive of their daughters’ sports activities. Mae came from a family of six boys and four girls, and lon-gevity is in her genes. Her older sister Pearl, of Victoria, BC, is 106 years old.

snowmobiLe safety courseVolunteers with the North Corman Park Search and Rescue or-ganization got a refresher course in snowmobile safety from Dave Chalmers, a resident of Dalmeny and President of Trinity Safety, on Saturday, February 28 in Dalmeny. The course was provided free of charge for the members of the search and rescue team, which are often called upon to use snowmobiles or ATVs in the course of a search. Chalmers said the course was designed to cover the ba-sics of snowmobile operation and maintenance. It was a hands-on, day-long course that focused on practical snowmobile handling. In Saskatchewan, all snowmobile operators born on or after January 1, 1989 are now required to complete an approved snowmobile safety course and obtain their snowmobile safety certificate before operat-ing on public land. The Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association rec-ommends all riders take the safety course and abide by the provin-cial snowmobile act as well as local municipal bylaws governing the operation of snowmobiles.

The Hague Royals are one step closer to the Senior A pro-vincial hockey championship. The Royals advanced to the next round of provincial play-offs after polishing off the Dalmeny Fury 8-4 in Hague on Sunday, March 1 to win the best-of-three quarter-final se-ries 2 games to 1. The Royals won the open-ing game in Hague on Tues-day, February 24 by a score of 4-1, while the Fury evened the series and forced a third and deciding game after winning Game 2 in Dalmeny by a score of 6-5 on Friday, February 27. Jesse Mireau led the way for the Royals in Game 3, scoring four goals and adding an assist in the Sunday game. Braeden Johnson accounted for two

goals, including one on a penal-ty shot, while Cody Folstad had a goal and three assists, and Kyle Lichtenwald scored one goal. Dalmeny snipers were Shel-don Erfle, David Richard, Nick Lanicki and Brody Foster.Fury netminder Dan Bau-er faced 48 shots while Royals goalie Graham Hildebrant con-tended with 24 shots coming his way. Hague captain and playing coach Daniel Rauckman said it was a grueling series, particu-larly in the final game, because even though Dalmeny had a short bench, they brought a lot of determination. “It definitely was a tough se-ries,” said Rauckman in an in-terview after the game. “They gave us everything we could handle. But we stuck to our game plan and pulled out the

win, so yeah, it feels pretty good.” Rauckman said the Royals had a manpower advantage with 18 skaters compared to the Fury’s 12 skaters. “We knew we had the bodies, but we also knew we could de-pend on every one of our play-ers to go out there and do their job,” he said. “We wanted to keep it simple. We knew we could dump and chase and hit, and create our cycle and let our scoring chances translate into some goals, and that’s the way it worked out.” Hague outshot Dalmeny 48-

Hague Royals down Dalmeny Fury in provincial Senior A hockey playoffsBy TERRY PUGH

[email protected], and that 2-1 margin in chances was pretty consistent throughout the game. But Dalmeny was able to capitalize when they had the op-portunity. Hague took a 2-1 lead into the first inter-

mission, but Dalmeny scored two goals in the second peri-od to gain a short-lived 3-2 lead. Hague held a 5-3 cushion after forty minutes. In the final pe-riod, their short bench caught up with the Fury and they weren’t able to turn back the Royals’ offensive push. Hague added three more goals before Dalmeny replied with a power play marker in the dying min-utes of the game. Both the Royals and Fury were winners at the box office, as the teams split the gate re-ceipts from the biggest crowd of

the season in the Hague arena. Thanks to a two-hour delay be-cause the Saskatchewan Hock-ey Association officials were late, and the coincidental tim-ing of a Hague Royals midg-et provincial game against the Hillmond Hurricanes slated to follow the senior matchup, there were plenty of spectators by the time the opening faceoff took place.

NEXT ROUND The Royals now go up against Lanigan in the north-ern semi-final, with the winner of that series taking on either Bethune or Balgonie in the pro-vincial final. Lanigan beat Shellbrook two games to one in their series, winning the deciding game 4-3 on Monday, March 2 in Lani-gan. But for the Royals, it really

didn’t matter which team they meet in the next round. “We’re pretty familiar with Shellbrook because we play them during the Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) sea-son,” said Rauckman after the game on Sunday. “And we’ve also see what Lanigan has be-cause we played them last year in provincials. Either way, we’re ready for the next series.” Rauckman said getting bounced from the FCHL league playoffs a few weeks ago by the Tisdale Ramblers was a tough pill to swallow, but the Royals have been focused right from ths tart of the season on the provincial championship rath-er than the league title. “Definitely, the provincial crown is the big prize,” said Rauckman. “That’s the one we’ve been building for and that’s the one we want.”

A student from Osler School launches a rock during the Central Valley Athletic Conference (CVAC) juniorcurling district championships in Dalmeny on Friday, February 27

Blaine Lake, Allan, Rosthern tops in bonspiel

The Central Valley Athletic Conference (CVAC) junior curl-ing championship took place on February 27 and 28 at the Dalmeny Curling Club. A to-tal of 18 teams registered to take part in the boys, girls, and mixed playoffs on a cold sunny weekend. The mixed event saw entries from Leask, Blaine Lake and Delisle. In the Girls category, Colonsay had two teams and there were entries from Allan, Aberdeen, Rosthern, Hanley and Laird. The boys event had eight teams including Laird, Martensville, Blaine Lake, Osler, Rosthern, Colonsay, Han-ley and Aberdeen.

BLAINE LAKE WINS MIXED The mixed championship in-volved only three teams this year. An experienced Blaine Lake squad proved itself the best team in the category, sweeping through the double knockout draw against Leask and Delisle to capture the championship. The Blaine Lake rink con-sists of Abby Fiala, Emily Fi-ala, Austin Sherstobetoff (sp), and Mulaina Bossoneau.

ALLAN GIRLS CHAMPS The seven team girls’ cham-pionship was dominated by a relatively young team from Al-lan. After receiving a first round bye, they won twice to advance to the A – B final. There they met the team from Colonsay whom they had de-feated earlier in the draw. Once again, Allan demonstrat-ed great draw weight, jumping into an early lead and finishing undefeated in the girls’ champi-onship. The Allan rink includes

Brooklyn DeVries, Brooklyn Legare, Kelsey Sommerfeld, Brooklyn Karwandy, (a fifth).

ROSTHERN BOYS CHAMPS The boys’ championship was a solid eight team competition with Colonsay and Rosthern the dominant teams in this year’s playoff. Meeting in the first round, Colonsay defeat-ed Rosthern in a tight game. Rosthern shrugged off the de-feat and proceeded to win four consecutive games on the B side, matching them up once against Colonsay in the A-B fi-nal. Rosthern came out firing, scoring multiple points in three of the first five ends and coast-ing to a relatively easy victo-ry. This meant that the cham-pionship would come down to a ‘winner take all’ game. Once again, Rosthern had a strong start, scoring four points in the first two ends, and, once again, coasted to a relatively easy vic-tory, capturing the boys’ cham-pionship. The Rosthern rink consists of Braylen Knoll, Dallas Re-imer, Ian Loeppky, and Micah Wood.

GROWING THE SPORT Looking forward, CVAC hopes to see the number of ju-nior teams increase beyond 20. We will be working with the Saskatchewan Curling Asso-ciation as we look to find ways to get a growing number of schools involved in the curling program being offered.

REGIONAL SR. CURLING In the regional bonspiel in Meadow Lake, three teams from the district advanced to the provincial championship next weekend in Prince Al-bert. These teams include the Borden Boys team, the Hanley Girls team, and the Langham Mixed team.

Each championship will con-sist of round robin pool play leading to a championship bracket to determine the med-allists.

The eight teams participat-ing in each championship ad-vanced through Regional Championships that were held the weekend of February 27 - 28 at various locations around the province.

BOYS CHAMPIONSHIPS The teams in the boys cham-pionships include: Regina LeB-oldus, Swift Current, Mary-field, Foam Lake, Choiceland, PA St. Mary, St. Walburg and Borden.

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19Capricorn, find balance between your personal ambitions and things you have to accomplish at work and at home. Finding a middle ground is the best approach. AQUARIUS January 20– February 18Aquarius, you need a few extra people to contribute to a special task, but you do not know who to ask. If you think hard enough, you will know who you can depend on.

PISCES February 19– March 20Your demeanor makes it easy for others to enjoy your company, and that will come in handy as your social schedule fills up in the days ahead.

ARIES March 21– April 19You impress everyone with your creativity this week, Aries. Allow this creativity to be the inspiration behind projects you have been putting off of late.

TAURUS April 20– May 20Keep your goals relatively simple for the next few days, Taurus. You can benefit from the positive reinforcement of completing tasks and getting things done.

GEMINI May 21– June 21Gemini, you have been immersed in work and are starting to show the ill effects of keeping long hours. Now is a great time to take a few days off or enjoy a mini-vacation.

CANCER June 22– July 22Cancer, you have a lot to get done, but resist the urge to micromanage every detail, as this could be a surefire path to burnout. You need to take a few breaths.

LEO July 23– August 22Leo, avoid the temptation to get started on another new project. You already have a lot on your plate. Finish those tasks before moving on to something new.

VIRGO August 23– September 22It is sometimes easy to miss the forest for the trees, Virgo. Try taking a step back so you can look at a puzzling project from a new perspective.

LIBRA September 23– October 22Libra, you may be searching for a new adventure, but try to appreciate the present as well. It’s easy to get swept up in fantasies, but don’t let them carry you too far away.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21Scorpio, you suspect that someone is hiding something, and that very well may be true. Perhaps a welcome sur-prise is coming your way. Resist the urge to dig too deep.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21You can probably talk your way out of trouble, Sagit-tarius, but this time it’s better to let things play out. Keep conversations light and free from controversy.

year review of the Town’s Official Communi-ty Plan over the coming months and their con-sultant Crosby, Hanna & Associates will be rec-ommending that additional lands be added to the town’s future land use map and identified for future residential development. The town is also requesting that a section of land north of the CN rail line be added to the 5 per 1/4 Constraints Overlay Map, which would restrict additional rural residential develop-ment on those parcels. Northeast and South-east were already included in the 5 per 1/4 Constraints Overlay Map, however the new re-quested area was not included. After already receiving three readings for the proposed bylaws Division 8 Councilor Wen-dy Trask felt there needed to be come clarifica-tion on the process from community planning or the Town of Dalmeny because the public consultation on revising the constraint land use area was already complete. “It kind of caught me off guard at the last meeting,” said Trask. “I am disappointed in the Town of Dalmeny for having done this, but I am second guessing how I feel about this and how I want to proceed.” Judy Harwood, Reeve of Corman Park agreed with Councilor Trask. “I think in a lot of different areas we do set deadlines, said Harwood. Harwood added that Division 6 Councilor Bas Froese-Kooijenga also had areas where he wanted the map redrawn but was denied be-cause the consultation process for revisions had passed. “I think we were trying to be accommodat-ing but there are times when we have to make a decision and stick with it,” said Harwood. Council’s concern with allowing the Town of Dalmeny to make changes to the map is that the process will delay the approval of both by-laws and that three readings of both bylaws would have to be given again. Froese-Kooijenga also feared that if the Town of Dalmeny’s addition is approved it would invite the possibility of other towns and cities in the RM to make more changes and de-lay the process even further. Rebecca Row, Director of Planning and De-velopment with the RM of Corman Park, said her suggestion would be for council to come up with a valid argument to the Town of Dalmeny as to why the RM doesn’t want to necessarily consider this amendment. There was also debate on whether this clar-ification should just be made with community planning. Adam Tittemore, RM of Corman Park Ad-ministrator, said the RM has asked the Town of Dalmeny to let

them know if there have been consultations with landowners who would now be affected by this. “We are also contacting the landowners to find out what their thoughts may be and we are getting clarification from the province as to what the province would do if we were to make a change to that map,” said Tittemore. “If we have to go through the entire consul-tation process again or if it would be a separate map change and if they would accept that.” The City of Martensville did have concerns that undue strain will be put on the city’s re-sources if the RM proceeds with 5 per 1/4 and major infrastructure and services are not put in place to accommodate the population growth. The City also suggested that they wanted to see the Regional Plan completed before Com-munity Planning approved the bylaws. The RM was surprised at the comments be-cause the City of Martensville had previous-ly provided verbal support to the 5 per 1/4 Con-straints Overlay Map at regional meetings.

The City of Martensville later withdrew their comments. On February 25 the RM participated in an industry stakeholder meeting with Commu-nity Planning, Ministry of Agriculture, Sask-Milk, Sask Egg Producers, Saskatchewan Cat-tlemen’s Association and the Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan and other groups of producers to discuss the proposed bylaws. Tittemore said the meeting mainly had to do with concerns the Ministry of Agriculture had the ability to allow existing Intensive livestock operations (ILO) to expand in the RM and what it would mean for new ILOs to set up in the RM. Tittemore said the RM alleviated those con-cerns during the stakeholders meeting, which he said was very positive. “We won’t have any more meetings with the Ministry of Agriculture. They are compiling their comments and are going to be submitting next week to the Ministry of Government Re-lations,” said Tittemore. “It will be up to the ministry to see how they want to proceed with these bylaws.” On the Town of Dalmeny’s latest request Tit-tmore said the RM was upset with last minute changes. “We submitted our comments last summer so we certainly feel that those agencies had a lot of time to comment,” said Tittemore “We are disappointed that these comments are com-ing out this many months later, but it is the province’s right to submit those things for com-ment.”

DETERMINEDTO TAKEYOUR BUSINESSTO NEWHEIGHTS...

Another year later, I sit here and write,a note straight to heaven to make my heart light.

For it still feels so heavy from the great loss of you,and sometimes its still difficult not to feel blue.

Four years since you left us, we sure miss you so

but you are still with us deep down I do know.I feel your encouragement and love it shines through,

especially at times when I know not what to do.

We talk of you often and laugh at the stories we share,and each milestone achieved, we wish you were there.The kids memories are so great and so plenty of you,

even Blaise knows so much from listening to the other two.Though you never even met him, here on earth face to face,in his eyes I see your wisdom and I sense your sweet grace.

A song comes on the radio and the kids holler out,

“thats papa’s song he would sing us in the tractor” they shout!We show them your home land, your trees and they say,

“we wish papa was still here so he could still play.”

Sometimes I hear your voice so loud its like your still here,urging me on and saying “im proud of you dear.”

I’m so very thankful for the time that we had,and mostly our memories make us happy but still a little bit sad.But any sadness we suffer, is more than worth the honour of you

being in our lives loving us, and teaching us all that you knew.

Each day I remember your not gone forever,and i know one day in heaven we’ll be united together.

Until that day comes we will treasure the time that we had,and do our best to make you proud, I love you dad. xo

A delegation from the Agri-cultural Producers Associa-tion of Saskatchewan (APAS) provided a breakdown of some of the association’s past issues and ongoing concerns during a presentation to the RM of Corman Park Council, Febru-ary 17. APAS Field Representa-tive Bruce Dodds and RM of Corman Park APAS represen-tative Ken Rosaasen made the presentation.

GRAIN BACKLOG Rosaasen said with the prov-ince’s second straight year of record crops and the grain backlog currently 12,000 cars behind, getting grain moving is one of the association’s top issues. The losses are estimated to be much larger than anyone expected, and stem from a lack of service and accountability by the two rail lines that have the monopoly, said Rosaasen. “We need an effective grain moving system with maxi-mum revenue entitlement caps and pressure to have a cost-ing review by railways so they could actually show what it costs. The rail-ways are not willing to pro-vide it and there are ongoing problems with this issue,” said Rosaasen. APAS has been working

with agriculture groups to ad-dress the need for creating a logistics oversight body with producer representation so they can have a better voice at the national table. They have also been work-ing on ways to attract more track competition with differ-ent rail companies and service guarantees. Dodds said business risk management programs such as Agri-Stablity provide finan-cial stability when produc-ers face financial losses. Over the years these insurance pro-grams have been cut signifi-cantly, which Dodds said he would like to restore.

COMMUNITY PASTURES APAS is also looking at the difficulties PFRA Communi-ty Pastures have in Corman Park and are looking at ways where they can be successful, said Dodds. Corman Park’s communi-ty pastures are located in Di-vision 8, which is northwest of Saskatoon. In a press release issued by APAS on February 10 the as-sociation, along with the Com-munity Pasture Patrons As-sociation of Saskatchewan (CPPAS), Public Pastures-Pub-lic Interest (PPPI) and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Asso-ciation (SWA) examined Sas-katchewan’s approach to pas-ture transition and found that it would affect the livestock in-

dustry in Saskatchewan. A few of the principle part-ners in the study felt it was important to include the need to conserve native grassland. They felt that land use should reinforce the economic viabili-ty of Saskatchewan’s livestock sector, and natural working ecosystems must be preserved over the long term. Ian McCreary, Chair of CP-PAS said in the press release that “the approach taken by Saskatchewan is to increase revenues at the expense of pro-ducers and to off-load respon-sibility for the environment from the public sector to pas-ture patrons. “Pasture patrons are be-ing asked to pay a full Crown land grazing rate. They are re-quired to provide full public access and manage and report on the ecological, environmen-tal and endangered species on native landscapes without re-quired resources.” Dodds said APAS will con-tinue to fight for intellectual property rights and Bill C18 (Involves a farmers right to save and store seeds); a res-olution to change crop insur-ance in Saskatchewan so those affected by periodic flooding will have some coverage, and they will continue to be active on the Indian Head Tree Nurs-ery file.

VEHICLE FLEET PROGRAM A new program APAS hopes

Corman Park ratepayers will take advantage of is the Chrysler Fleet Program, which is a discount of up to $14,000 for all 2014 and 2015 cars and trucks. All a ratepayer would need is their tax notice and a GST number to qualify. Dodds said APAS also recently replaced Viterra as the Saskatchewan Agricultural Owner/Member of the Cooperators so all ratepayers are now eligible for owner member pricing. The RM of Corman Park pays $22,626 for its yearly membership for APAS. This year association membership will reach 100 RMs. At the February 17 Council Meeting Dodds presented Harwood will a plaque to thank the RM of Corman Park for its continued support. “Our mission is to have a thriving agricultural sector. Our vision is a well respected and unified voice influencing positively agriculture in rural communities,” said Dodds.

Water-borne invasive species could spell higher utility ratesBy TERRY PUGH

[email protected]


Saskatchewan may be a welcoming environment for new residents, but there’s one type of aquatic creature that Saskatchewan Environment is deter-mined to keep out. Zebra mussels and quagga mussels are closely-re-lated freshwater species threatening to spread into Saskatchewan’s lakes and rivers. If they do get es-tablished in the province, it will cost the provin-cial government and municipalities an estimated 30 million dollars annually in additional mainte-nance costs for water intake and treatment sys-tems. “These mussels are not native to Canada, or even to North America,” said Collin McGuire, a fisher-ies biologist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment. “The difference between zebra and quagga mussels and native mussels is that these in-vasive species can attach themselves to underwater surfaces. They clog up water intake pipes and con-taminate the water. “This isn’t just an environmental issue. It’s an economic issue that has very serious implications for everyone,” said McGuire. “That’s why it’s im-portant for folks to take some simple steps to clean their boats and prevent the spread of these invasive species.” McGuire was speaking at the South Saskatch-ewan River Watershed Stewards Inc. (SSRWSI) meeting in Osler on Wednesday, February 25. The public session was designed to provide information on a range of issues affecting surface and ground water quantity and quality across the province. McGuire said the provincial environment minis-try is launching a major education campaign this spring and summer to alert residents and visitors of the potential damage invasive mussel species can cause. He noted that preventing the introduc-tion and spread of the species is the most cost-effec-tive option for the province, and noted that BC, Al-berta and Manitoba are also taking measures to deal with the issue. This summer, the provincial environment min-istry will be monitoring shorelines and taking sub-strate samples from high-risk water bodies. Mc-Guire said the province is looking to partner with the watershed associations, recreational boating groups, regional parks and other organizations to get the word out to the general public. The invasive mussel species were introduced into North America from eastern Europe in 1986, and have been gradually spreading after becoming established in the Great Lakes. The mussels can lay up to 1 million eggs at a time, and in their early stages are invisible to the naked eye. Additional information is available online at www.saskinvasives.ca .

Fisheries biologist Collin McGuire explains how a simple device is used to monitor for the presence of invasive mussel species including quagga mussels, which can contaminate water and clog water intake systems. (Inset) A display shows how quagga mussels can clog water intake pipes.


Watershed stewards tackle issuesBy TERRY PUGH

[email protected]

Protecting the quality of source water is the main priority for the South Sas-katchewan River Watershed Stewards Inc. (SSRWSI) or-ganization, according to Ben Buhler, Mayor of Osler and board chair for the non-profit group’s northern area. At an SSRWSI open house in Osler on Wednesday, Feb-ruary 25, Buhler said sever-al watershed stewards groups were formed 13 years ago in the wake of the Walkerton, Ontario, disaster which saw several people die because of contaminated drinking water. “We got started because of public concern over the qual-ity of drinking water, and the need to protect surface and groundwater sources,” said Buhler. “We have 11 water-shed associations in the prov-ince, and ours is one of the biggest because the South Saskatchewan River takes in such a huge area, and it’s also one of the main sources of freshwater for communities, industries and agriculture.” The Town of Osler and the RM of Corman Park are among the communities that pay membership fees into the SSRWSI. These fees, along with a small annual grant from the provincial Water Se-curity Agency (WSA) and agriculture environmental stewardship program grants from the provincial agricul-ture minister keep the water-shed associations going. But it’s a challenge to keep the ed-ucational and environmental programs operating, noted Buhler. SSRWSI Watershed Co-ordinator Renny Grilz of Aberdeen outlined the proj-ects undertaken by the group. These include an assessment of fish habitat on tributary creeks such as Fish Creek. Grilz noted that the sewage lagoon for Aberdeen will be moved because of its proxim-ity to the headwaters of Fish Creek. The SSRWSI is also purs-ing educational and commu-nications programs through social media and the schools. It has tentative plans for a Nature City Festival this summer. Drainage and the threat of invasive species are among the major issues the SSRW-SI is tackling this year, said Grilz.

Program aims to protect public and environment by sealing off abandoned wells


There are literally thousands of abandoned wells across Sas-katchewan that pose a hazard to people, livestock and the environ-ment. But a provincially-funded program is looking to help farmers, ranchers and landowners deal with those sites in an evironmen-tally-responsible way. Jeremy Brown, an agrologist with the provincial Water Secu-rity Agency (WSA) said the province is encouraging landowners to “decommission” abandoned wells by properly sealing the well-head and ensuring there are no leaks below the surface. “In Saskatchewan, our groundwater, which is a major source of drinking water, is contained in both shallow and deep aqui-fers,” said Brown. “People tend to think of these aquifers as un-derground rivers and lakes, but in reality they are sand or gravel layers that contain water. Those layers of sand or gravel are inter-spersed with other layers of clay, which are impermeable to wa-ter.” Speaking at the South Saskatchewan River Wa-tershed Stewards Inc (SSRWSI) open house in Osler February 25, Brown said when wells are drilled, the shafts penetrate through vari-ous layers of rock, sand, gravel and clay. These shafts, if they are not properly sealed, can al-low water, as well as con-taminates within that water, to move between underground layers. “Every well should have a proper screen vent and cap, and the area outside the cas-ing should be properly sealed and landscaped to ensure the wa-ter doesn’t pool around the wellhead,” said Brown. “While newer wells are better-designed, older wells may not have had those safe-guards.” Brown said abandoned wells are those that are no longer used, but which have simply been left to fall into disrepair. Decommis-sioned wells, on the other hand, are those that are no longer used but which have been properly sealed to prevent the vertical move-ment of water and to improve the safety of the site. “Large diameter bored wells present a significant hazard to peo-ple, machinery and livestock,” said Brown. “I’ve personally seen a bull and a dog that met their demise in abandoned wells, and I’ve pulled tractors out of old wells. So obviously there is a safety risk, but there is also considerable environmental contamination risk as well.” Sealing up large-diameter bored wells and small-diameter drilled wells involves different techniques, but the provincial program covers 90 per cent of the cost of decommissioning, said Brown. He noted that rural municipalities, farmers, ranchers and First Nations bands are eligible for the program, which was first implemented in 2012 and will continue until February, 2018. “To get the grant, you have to go through the proper steps,” said Brown. “The first step is to contact the local Watershed Stewards organization, which will help you write the application.” The WSA has an online database containing 15,000 records of wells that have been dug (www.gis.wsask.ca ). Brown noted that virtually all wells dug over the past 40 years are in the database, but anything older than that may not be included. “It’s hit and miss,” said Brown. “Some records go all the way back to the early 1900s, but there are an awful lot of hand-dug wells that were done in the 1930s and 1940s for which no records exist.”

Financial and Consum-er Affairs Authority of Sas-katchewan (FCAA) wants to remind consumers that if you want to borrow money from a payday loan lender, know the costs before making a deci-sion. “Sometimes people don’t have a lot of options when it comes to borrowing mon-ey,” FCAA Consumer Cred-it Division Director Cory Pe-

Province urges caution on payday loans

ters said. “We want to make sure that people are aware of the fees and re-payment time-frames that are associated with payday loans.” In Saskatchewan, payday loan borrowers are charged up to $23 for every $100 bor-rowed. Loans are due on your next regular payday and loan agreements must be in writ-ing, dated and signed by the borrower.

Wholesale trade in Sas-katchewan has hit a new all-time high for the province, reaching $2.4 billion in De-cember 2014. According to the numbers issued on February 18 by Sta-tistics Canada, wholesale trade in December increased by 25.6 per cent compared to $1.9 billion in December 2013 (seasonally adjusted). The jump put Saskatchewan in the top spot for year-over-year percentage growth among provinces. “This is an unprecedent-ed figure for wholesale trade

value in Saskatchewan, and it represents five straight months of growth in this cate-gory,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “This kind of ac-tivity in our provincial econo-my really shows how compet-itive and well-positioned we are heading into 2015.” On a seasonally-adjusted basis, wholesale trade in Sas-katchewan increased by 3.7 per cent in December 2014 compared to November 2014, ranking Saskatchewan third in month-to-month percent-age change among the prov-inces.

Wholesale trade sets record in December

The North American auto sector is on pace for another re-cord-breaking year with sales projected to surpass 18.5 million units in Canada and the U.S., according to new data from BMO Economics. “The Canadian economy is expected to downshift to a slow-er growth path this year giv-en the effects of dropping oil prices,” said Alex Koustas, Economist, BMO Capital Mar-kets. “However, the economy should still see average growth, enough to lead to a drop in the unemployment rate at the na-tional level thanks in part to the lower dollar. Combined with rate cuts by the Bank of Cana-da, this should provide enough momentum in new vehicle sales to approach last year’s perfor-mance.” Koustas noted that the out-performance of light trucks rel-ative to cars is expected to con-tinue this year, with consumers splurging on bolder trims and engine sizes as a result of

spending less at the pumps. Truck sales have benefitted sig-nificantly in the U.S. as a result of lower gas prices. Canadian auto sales are ex-pected to grow again for the sixth year in a row. In 2014, pas-senger vehicle sales were at 1.85 million unions, up 6 per cent from the previous year (1.74 mil-lion). This year, January sales showed promise with a 3.4 per cent increase in sales, putting the industry well on pace to match and even surpass 2014’s record breaking year. “Unlike many, the automotive industry is one that is reaping the benefits of lower oil prices and a falling Canadian dollar,” said Robert Sadokierski, Head, Automotive Finance Group, BMO Financial Group. “In some provinces, lower oil prices may lead to high consumer dis-cretionary spending, including automobiles, and a lower Cana-dian dollar may support auto-mobile manufacturing activi-ties in Canada.”
