TEAMWORK RAISES FUNDS FOR HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATIONAffinity Credit Union staff members and volunteers showed their heart during the Heart & Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike Ride in Dalmeny on Wednesday, May 11. They did a little competition between the three branches in Martensville, Warman and Dalmeny, and the branch that had the highest fundraising total per employee was the host location. The four Dalmeny em-ployees (Kailey Bernard, Lynell Hunchak, Waneeta Peters, and Linda Ens) won the competition by fundraising an average of $322 per employee. The 22 staff from Martensville, Warman & Dalmeny branches were able to donate a total of $3,582.75 to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Flaggers may be safer when ministry deploys this deviceBy HILARY [email protected] It’s a simple solution, but nobody ever thought of it be-fore. The Ministry of Highways rolled out a new solution to improve safety in highway construction zones at a May 13 press conference. An in-novative device to control traffic moving through con-struction zones is expected to reduce ‘blow by’ incidents that can injure flaggers and cause collisions. “We all know that high-way flaggers have a very dangerous job,” said Nan-cy Heppner, Saskatchewan’s minister responsible for Highways and Infrastruc-ture, citing several incidents of flagger injury and one loss of life. “These incidents are trag-ic, they are unacceptable and they are preventable,” she said. The ministry has been working with Potzus Con-struction on an Automat-ed Flagger Assisted Device (AFAD) which operates on a simple stop and go light sys-tem. The AFAD is visible to motorists from a great-

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Brennan Wiens of Potzus Construction unveils a new device the company designed to increase safety on highway work zones

er distance as they approach a work zone. In the simple system, red means stop and green means go, something motorists are familiar with.

Brennan Wiens, HR and training manager at Potzus Construction said last Au-gust their company was one of those that did have a flag-

ger injured. “The motorist bypassed warnings signs, bypassed gates on the road, and rear-ended a vehicle that was

parked directly in front of a flagger. The flagger was struck, thrown into the ditch, knocked unconscious and since then, he’s nev-er returned to work,” said Wiens. It caused the com-pany to consider how to im-prove safety. The AFAD was piloted in 2015 and some desirable re-sults were observed. “We no-ticed almost a complete 180 in the motorists’ response to the AFAD versus a flagger in a construction zone,” said Wiens. Typically they might see a blow-by every hour, where someone would jump the queue, ignore the flagger and drive by. “Upon deploying the AFAD on the road surface, we saw the motorists com-pletely stop blowing by the flagger, they waited in line, no one jumped the line,” he said. Motorists responded to the simple red and green signals. Operated remotely, the de-vice removes flaggers from the actual traffic lane. A ca-ble allows the flagger to be 150 feet away from the de-vice and from dangerous motorists, and able to con-

trol traffic much more safe-ly. As motorists approach, the flagger turns the light to green when it’s time for mo-torists to go. The AFAD is visible from a few hundred metres away. It’s easy to see and it’s go-ing to save lives out there, Wiens said. Heppner said during the election campaign, her gov-ernment committed $70 mil-lion for immediate fixes on highways and another $2.7 billion of spending over the next four years, that doesn’t include the Regina bypass. “You can expect to see a lot of work zones and we want to get this work done safely.” Wiens said while the AFAD technology seems simple, it hasn’t been done in our province before. Cur-rently Potzus has two AF-ADs, one for each end of a construction zone. The de-vice can retail for upwards of $20,000, but Potzus was able to build one for a lower cost. “Ideally, as the minis-try lets us know, we would be inclined to build many more,” said Wiens.

New public works director follows road to the RMBy HILARY [email protected] Craig Habermehl is trad-ing his highways history for grid roads. As the new Pub-lic Works Director for the RM of Corman Park, he’s now tracking gravel instead of paved surfaces. Habermehl started on May 3 and is beginning to get his bearings after two weeks. “I’m getting adjusted, trying to figure out where stuff is, and getting to know a bit of the size of the RM,” he said. There’s still a lot of stuff to cover, he says. “All the roads? I don’t have them memorized yet.” It’s some-thing he chooses to do, so when ratepayers call, he knows where things are. Habermehl came over Craig Habermehl is busy getting miles of RM roads in shape.

from Associated Engineer-ing where he worked with the Ministry of Highways. Prior to that he worked di-rectly for the Ministry for four years. “I’ve been deal-ing with road building for 10 years now.” Change was a big factor in Habermehl’s decision to fol-low the road to the RM. He was also looking to be home more. “With general road construction you’ve got to go to where the construction is, so that means hotel stays and living out of a suit-case.” Now his daily work area doesn’t change and he’s home every night. The biggest piece of the new job is dealing with roads. Habermehl’s imme-diate priority is to get the

roads ship-shape for sum-mer. The RM has 800 miles of gravel roads, plus some blacktop. “With the freeze-thaw and wet weather, it has obvious-ly wreaked havoc on a lot of the RM roads. Now that the road ban is off, we’ll get everything re-graded and graveled where required. That’s my immediate priori-ty, to keep our roadways ac-cessible.” Down the road, Haber-mehl says he’ll start looking at long-term capital plans. Some roads are going to need serious upgrades. Dealing with waterworks is another big part of his

Hague vehicle dealership celebrates new beginningBy TERRY [email protected] Two years after a dev-astating fire levelled their building and forced them into temporary quarters, management and staff at Valley Ford in Hague cele-brated a new beginning on Friday, May 13. The grand opening of Valley Ford’s new facility marked the welcome end of a long and difficult journey, according to Kevin Adams, general manager of the deal-ership. “It’s a symbolic moment in many ways,” said Adams in an interview prior to the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “It’s important to show that we’re moving on to the next stage. We’re ready to take on a lot more and we’re excited

to see what’s in our future here.” The dealership moved into the new building last No-vember, but held off on the official opening until every-thing was running smoothly and the weather was more favourable, said Adams. The new building, built under general contractor Zak’s Home Building Centre in Hague, is 30 per cent larg-er than the old one, said Ad-ams. This allows the dealer-ship more capacity for sales, maintenance and a better customer-service experi-ence. He said the new facil-ity is in a more visible loca-tion near Highway 11. Bob Kenny, owner of Val-ley Ford dealerships in both Hague and North Battleford, said “it’s satisfying and re-

warding” to see the new fa-cility officially christened. “The staff here have worked through some very adverse conditions over the past two years, but with the help and support of the com-munity, we’ve come through this and now we have an ex-cellent facility,” said Kenny. “It really feels like a new be-ginning; absolutely.” Dozens of residents of Hague and area turned out for the event. Hague Mayor Pat Wagner said the re-opening of the dealership, an economic an-chor in the town, is a “huge” event. “When you consider what happened the night of the fire and the aftermath,

STARS Lottery helps keep air ambulance service flyingBy TERRY [email protected] Life has its share of chal-lenges for Jason Simpson of Ruthilda. But after surviving a hor-rific crash that left him with internal injuries and a dam-aged vertebrae, he’s more than willing to take whatev-er life brings. “The positive to the whole thing is that I’m still here, and I still have kids that are loving me, thinking of me, and never look back at any of the complications,” said Simpson. “Life goes on day by day. “I always think of the guys in the blue suits,” he added. “If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have made it.” Simpson is the Shock Trauma Air Rescue Ser-vice (STARS) 2016 Very Im-portant Patient (VIP). He spoke from his wheelchair at the launch of the annu-al STARS Foundation Lot-tery on Thursday, May 12 in Saskatoon. The foundation is aiming to raise about 2.5 million through lottery pro-ceeds, which will go towards its annual fundraising goal of $10 million. The provincial govern-ment matches those funds to provide the non-profit STARS organization with a $20 million annual budget. “I’ve taken that beautiful trip in that red helicopter,” said Simpson. “I wouldn’t recommend it to most every-body, but I’ve had that expe-rience.” Simpson said he was driv-ing through an intersec-tion about seven miles south of his farm when he was t-boned on the driver’s side by a one-ton truck haul-ing a cattle trailer. The im-pact pushed him partway through his own vehicle’s passenger side window. His vehicle then rolled three times before coming to rest in the ditch. Two grader operators with the RM of Mountain View happened upon the scene of the collision and called 911. The first responders extri-cated him from the wreck-age and called STARS. “STARS came out and gave their assessment,” he said. “They picked up the

pieces of what was left of me. I don’t remember much of the next two weeks after that, but I had a chance lat-er to talk to one of the flight crew. “It took them 17 minutes on the way out and 21 min-utes on the way back. “If I didn’t have that, I wouldn’t have made it the hour and a half it would have taken to drive the 90 miles to Royal University Hospital by ground ambu-lance. “These guys are definitely needed in rural Saskatche-wan.” Simpson spent a total of nine months in RUH and Saskatoon City Hospital be-fore he was able to return home. He’s still farming and working as an agricultural consultant, but his life has required a lot of adjustment, he said. Fortunately, his family and co-workers are very supportive. Rod Gantefoer, Execu-tive-Director of the STARS Foundation, the fundraising

arm of the STARS organi-zation, said there have been over 3,300 missions flown to over 400 Saskatchewan com-munities since 2012. “Over the last four years, there are countless numbers of people whose lives have

There are so many les-sons to be learned from the tragedy of the Fort McMur-ray fire … although the fore-most one was likely learned by rural Saskatchewan long ago. At 56.78 degrees latitude and 454 kilometres north-east of the next biggest ur-ban centre, Edmonton, Fort McMurray is truly an isolat-ed city. Moreover, it is isolated by miles upon square miles of northern boreal forest, mak-ing it more isolated than most rural Saskatchewan communities. But what this city of 82,000 shares with a lot of rural Saskatchewan communities is the realization that people in such communities truly need to pull together to sup-port each other in both the good times and bad. In many ways, this is very much a trait of all of Canada that takes its name from the Huron-Iroquois word for vil-lage. We all can relate to the struggle of our village. We relate to the struggles of our neighbour’s village and want to help in tough times. Through this, we saw much compassion and de-cency. We saw Edmonton

residents offering up their homes to fire refugees. We saw people driving up and down Alberta Highway 63 to provide gas to stranded evacuees. As inspiring was the brav-ery of those fighting the fire and those Fort McMurray residents that literally had to drive through fire to get to safety. That evacuees did this in a calm, safe manner with-out endangering each oth-er says so much. That they would share what little food they had with them or that they gave up their beds in evacuation centres for those in greater need said much about the best in people. So many times we hear of stress or personal crisis bringing out the worst of people. In Fort McMurray, the vast, vast majority of stories have been about this tragedy bringing out the best in people. This is a trait often found in smaller and isolated com-

munities. It is all simply part of the lifestyle. That said, this tragedy has, sadly, demonstrated the penchant of others to reveal themselves at their worse. And toning down of rhet-oric from all sides would have been greatly appreciat-ed. The worse such rhetoric came from the environmen-tal left; some of who couldn’t even wait for the evacuees to arrive to safety before they were already on so-cial media to announce Fort McMurray residents were somehow getting what they deserved. One such idiotic comment came from a one-time Al-berta NDP candidate, Tom Moffatt, who posted on his on Twitter account: “Kar-mic #climatechange fire burns CDN oilsands city.” For his trouble, he was sus-pended from this job. Others encouraged: “Burn, tar sands, burn!” Slightly less hostile social media posts suggested: “I hope everyone gets the iro-ny of a massive fire in the heart of big oil country.” Even Green Party leader Elizabeth May told report-ers: “Of course, it’s due to

global emissions.” This, of course, is non-sense. Something as unpredict-able as a northern forest fire; whose devastation is driven by high winds and bad luck; cannot be direct-ly attributed to climate change. In fact, no credible scien-tist would dare make such a claim. Admittedly, it wasn’t just crazy left-wingers off their their rockers. There were plenty of right-wingers accusing Liber-al Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or Alberta NDP Premier Rachel Notley of be-ing the arsonists. Notley was evidently guilty because; at least ac-cording to the nonsense news from Ezra Levant’s The Rebel; her government seemed to have “money for everything else… but not for firefighters.” Other posts were more crude and vicious, blaming the matter on Syrian refu-gees. But while the Fort Mc-Murray fire brought out the worst in some, it mostly re-minded us we are all part of a caring community.

Fort McMurray offers many lessons

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

Canadians deserve referendum on electoral reform

COMMENTARYBy Kelly Block, MP Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek

Earlier this week the Minister of Democrat-ic Institutions and the Government House Lead-er announced the next phase of the Liberal plan to change the way all of us as citizens elect our federal representatives. This phase includes establishing a Special Parlia-mentary Committee that will travel across Canada throughout the summer to hear Canadians views on the future of our electoral system. The Committee is composed of six Liberal mem-bers, three Conservatives members, one NDP mem-ber, one Bloc Quebecois member, and one Green par-ty member. However, the Bloc Quebecois and Green Party members will not have a vote in the commit-tee and therefore no say in its recommendations. Once the cross Canada tour is completed the Com-mittee will make recommendations to Cabinet on what they think Canada’s electoral system should be going forward. Cabinet will have the final say on what gets put to a vote in the House of Commons. Since the Liberals have an outright majority on the committee it is hard to believe that any recom-mendation it makes will differ from the preferred outcome of the Prime Minister, which is a ranked ballot system. There are a number of electoral models to consid-er, each with its strengths and weaknesses. These include: 1) Proportional Representation: This model leads to the makeup of the House representing exactly the election result, but weakens the relationship be-tween the MP and their constituents while leading to more parties and fractious governing coalitions. 2) Ranked ballot: This model reduces strategic vot-ing and eliminates vote splitting but favours cen-trist parties over those that propose innovative policy ideas. This system also forces Canadians to choose a party they disagree with as a second choice on their ballot. 3) First past the post: This model leads to stable governing coalitions and the strongest link between an MP and their constituents, but it is quite com-mon that a party can win the majority of the seats in Parliament with less than 40 per cent of the popu-lar vote. Interestingly and most frustrating in the present debate on electoral reform is that the Liberals are refusing to leave the first past the post system on the list of options up for consideration. Furthermore, they continue to state that they have a mandate from Canadians to change the electoral system despite the fact that they were elected with 39.5% of the popular vote and this was one of dozens of campaign issues. As many have pointed out, the Liberals are show-ing considerable hypocrisy by stating that the first past the post system is broken, yet are using their majority in Parliament that they won, with 39.5 per cent of the vote, in October to change the way we vote. (Liberals won 54 per cent of the seats in Parlia-ment with 39.5 per cent of the popular vote). I would note that the NDP, Greens, and Bloc Que-becois have asked that the makeup of the parliamen-tary committee on electoral reform be determined by each parties’ share of the popular vote and not by the share of seats in Parliament as is presently the case. To date, the Liberals have refused this re-quest. Most importantly, the Liberals steadfastly refuse to commit to a referendum on electoral reform by making the implausible claim that it isn’t needed because we wouldn’t hear from women, young peo-ple, or aboriginals. The fact is a referendum gives every Canadian, without exception, a say in the process. Going forward, the Conservative Party will con-tinue to push to make the Liberals give you a vote on how we as Canadians elect our federal represen-tatives because what was proposed this week will leave the future of our electoral system entirely in the hands of this Prime Minister and his cabinet.

By HILARY [email protected] Three travelers involved in a collision at the in-tersection of Highway 11 and Wanuskewin Road on Thursday, May 12 escaped with minor injuries. At approximately 12:45 p.m., members of the Warman and Martensville RCMP detachments were dispatched to the scene. Saskatoon Fire and EMS at-tended the scene as well. A northbound Hyundai sedan was attempting to cross Highway 11 when it was struck by a GM pick-up truck that was traveling eastbound on Highway 11. The 21-year-old male

pick-up truck driver from Saskatoon was treated on the scene for what were de-scribed as minor injuries and released. A 33-year-old female pas-senger of the sedan from Saskatoon was taken to hos-pital in Saskatoon with what were described as minor injuries. Another 33-year-old female from On-tario who was driving the sedan was treated on scene for minor injuries. She was charged with one count of proceeding from a stop sign before it was safe to do so. The highway was left open while emergency person-nel attended the scene, but cross traffic was blocked be-

RCMP asked motorists to slow down as they passed the scene. The Ministry of High-ways is currently proceed-ing with plans to temporar-ily close access to Highway 11 from Range Road 3052, to address safety concerns at the hazardous intersection. The closure is expected to take effect in early June.

Warman seeks public input on aquatic centreBy TERRY [email protected] The City of Warman is testing the waters on a pro-posed indoor aquatic centre. A survey asking residents if they would like to see an indoor pool in the commu-nity; and if so, how much they’re willing to pay and how long they’re willing to wait for it to be built; was front and centre at the city’s annual open house event on Thursday, May 12 at the Bri-an King Centre. Staff and volunteers from all branches of the civ-ic administration, includ-ing public works, Warman Fire Rescue, Recreation and Community Services, and others were on hand to an-swer residents’ questions and provide information on services. But one of the focal points for this year’s session was the proposal for a future aquatic facility. The project has been widely discussed in the community and is on Warman City Council’s long-range wish list, but until now, no timeline for an in-door pool has made it to the drawing board stage. It all boils down to money, and how much residents are willing to pay for such a ma-jor amenity, said Warman Finance Manager Brett Fer-guson in an interview at the open house event. “We know there’s a desire out there for a facility like this because many people have expressed an interest in it,” said Ferguson. “What we’re trying to determine now is whether it is feasible from a taxpayer’s point of view. “The best way to deter-mine that is to ask the peo-ple directly.” Ferguson said an indoor aquatic facility is being ex-

plored because Martens-ville already has an outdoor aquatic facility that is wide-ly used by residents of the region, and it doesn’t make sense to duplicate services. Ferguson said if a $25 mil-lion facility similar to the Harry Bailey Aquatic Cen-tre in Saskatoon was built, there are several different scenarios that could help guide city council’s decision. “Council has asked the city administration to run the numbers for several pos-sible scenarios,” said Fer-guson. “For example, if we looked at borrowing the money and completely debt-financing a $25 million fa-cility, then it could be built very quickly. “But you’d be looking at annual debt payments for 20 years or so of just under $2 million each year,” he noted. “On top of that, it’s a rule of thumb that recreation-al facilities generally do not break even. So it would cost an additional $500,000 annu-ally in operational costs. “So if you went with that scenario, the annual pay-ments would be about $2.5 million over 20 years for a $25 million facility. That translates into annual pay-ments of about $650 per property owner annually based on our current num-ber of taxpayers. “In other words, every-one’s taxes would go up by $650 a year to pay for it if we went that route.” Ferguson said on the oth-er extreme, if the city set aside $200 per taxpayer an-nually in a designated re-serve fund, it would take 34 years for the city to save up enough money to pay for the $25 million facility up front. He said the most likely

Martensville students walk for water, support Madagascar girlsBy HILARY [email protected] Inspired by Dahlia Sa-lon & Spa’s support of the Aveda Water Aid campaign in Madagascar, Venture Heights School created their own challenge to support the campaign. Martensville students from three grade six classes raised money through sales of iced tea, bottle drives and by dipping into their own personal savings, bringing in a total of $788.35. In class, students were learning about factors that impact quality of life, in a discussion that veered to-ward water. “Students could not believe that approxi-mately one billion people do not have access to clean water or sanitation,” said

Meagan Mitchell, grade six teacher at Venture Heights. “They did not know that children around the world were missing school be-cause it was their responsi-bility to gather water from nearby lakes and rivers for their family to use.” Girls in Madagascar walk six kilometres a day to get water, but that water is con-taminated. It’s the only op-tion they have. Each girl hauls 40 litres up steep hills and through valleys to bring home water for the day. Girls braving the ele-ments are vulnerable to nat-ural and human predators. Mitchell said when Lindsy from Dahlia presented the school with an opportuni-ty to help a community in Madagascar, they did not

hesitate to jump right in. Once they started research-ing the water crisis and un-covering facts related to people’s access to water, the comments and questions flooded in. “They could not believe that approximately every 21 seconds a child dies from a water-related illness. The greatest question I was asked was, ‘What can we do to help’.” She said the kids have so much heart. To show their solidarity with girls in Madagascar, the kids walked a six-kilo-metre route around Mar-tensville on May 11. They took turns carrying their “Walk for Water” banner, and seemed unfazed by un-seasonably low tempera-tures. The three classes

stopped in front of Dahlia Salon for a photo-op. Presented with the oppor-tunity to purchase a well for a community in Mad-agascar, students couldn’t wait to start organiz-ing their own fundraising events. Brent Campbell’s class raised the most at $335. Meagan Mitchell’s class raised $287.35 and Kristin Heroux’s class raised $166. Dahlia and ‘In and Out Pizza’ provided a pizza lunch for Mr. Campbell’s class since they raised the most in the challenge. “The class roared with ex-citement when they found out that, with Dahlia Salon, we were able to provide wa-ter for life for approximate-ly 300 people,” said Mitchell.

Warman pool finance options explored

Residents of Warman were keen to ask questions about the proposed indoor aquatic facility during the city’s annual open house event on Thursday, May 12

scenario, in the event coun-cil chooses to invest in a fa-cility, is a combination of re-serves and debt financing. It all depends on the appetite of residents for the project. A survey to gauge resi-dents’ opinions on the proj-ect was distributed at the open house, and an online version of the survey is also being considered. While no decision on the details of the project has been made by council, a long-term reserve fund has been set up by the city in the event it proceeds. “It’s part of the long-term capital budget,” said Fer-guson. “The city is setting aside $100,000 annually into the reserve fund. It was ini-tiated last year, and it cur-rently stands at $200,000. So next year it will be at $300,000.” For a $25 million facili-ty, the current reserve is lit-erally a drop in the bucket, agreed Ferguson. “This is really just the be-ginning of the conversation with residents,” said Fergu-

Warman gears up for rugby showcaseBy TERRY [email protected] A junior boys rugby team made up of area high school students is off to a winning start this season. The Springboks have three wins and one loss un-der their belt after downing Lashburn 22-17 on Thurs-day, May 12. It was the sec-ond meeting between the two clubs, with the Spring-boks winning 20-0 on May 5 in Saskatoon. The Springboks, made up of Grade 9-12 boys from Warman, Martensville and other area communities, have only one blemish on the season so far. They lost a close contest to their arch-nemesis, the Saskatoon All-Blacks on a wild and rainy evening May 10. “That was a real rumble in the rain,” said Spring-boks head coach Tyler Ea-glesham in an interview on May 11. “It was fast and fu-rious, and our guys played well.” The Springboks are one of two local junior teams com-peting in the North Sas-katchewan Rugby Union (NSRU) league. The other team is the Sirens, made up of Martensville, Warman and area high school girls. The Sirens are a feeder team for the Saskatoon Ki-rin, a women’s rugby team based in Saskatoon; while the Springboks play un-der the auspices of the Saskatoon Krems, an adult men’s team. Several Spring-boks’ graduates have made the jump to the Krems in re-cent years. It’s the third year for the Springboks, and Eaglesh-am said the skill level of the players has increased con-siderably since their first season. “The ‘Rugby IQ’ has defi-nitely gone up,” said Eagle-sham. “We have about half a dozen guys who’ve played a few years now with this

team, and who are also in-volved in the Team Sask Rugby program. “When they’re able to play at that high a level, they start right into the season and make a big impact very quickly.” Eaglesham said the sport is becoming more popular thanks to growing exposure locally, as well as the inclu-sion of rugby in the next Olympic games. “There’s a trend where sports that were once con-sidered marginal, like rug-by and lacrosse, are becom-ing more mainstream,” said Eaglesham. “I think it’s a great thing. The more differ-ent kinds of sports that kids play, the better. They learn a lot of skills in one game they can apply in others.” Eaglesham said rugby is a team sport that has a place for many different types of players, from the big and beefy to the small and nim-ble. “Everybody plays offense and defense,” said Eaglesh-am. “It’s a game that’s con-stantly shifting and the ac-tion is very fast. You don’t just play one position or have a single role.” The sport is set to take centre stage later this month during the annu-al Rugby Day in Warman event slated for Neufeld Field in Warman on Satur-day, May 28. The day fea-tures family-oriented side-line activities and a full slate of four games during the afternoon, including ju-nior boys, junior girls, adult men’s and adult women’s games. The bonus is a “rug-by mini’s” game featuring elementary school children. “We’re changing up the format a bit this year for Rugby Day in Warman,” said Eaglesham. “The mar-quee events this year are the junior boys and junior girls games instead of the

AGING AND THE BRAIN PART 2Experts point to 5 types of aging that can help us understand the concept of neuroplasticity:

1. Chronological Age: Is the number of years that we have been living. It cant be changed or trained. The other four varieties of age can be infl uenced though.

2. Functional Age: Is the ability of to accomplish daily activities that we need and want to do, based on demographics, and culture. Functional Age training simply helps individuals get better at performing these tasks.

3. Biological Age: Is how we compare with others who share our demographics and chronological age. This can address physiological issues, with goals such as reversing the effects of diabetes or reducing cholesterol or blood sugar levels.

4. Social Age: Is our ability to get along with others of our own age and cultural framework. This type of training involves working in a small group to accomplish task-dependent projects.

5. Psychological Age: Is our ability to use the brains major functions to accomplish that demonstrate independence and self-effi cacy. Psychological age training adds neuroplasticity exercises that put various functions and sections of the brain to work.The Two Sides of the BrainWhen choosing exercises for functional, social, biological or psychological aging, one must consider the major brain functions and the sections of the brain that control them.Left: Controls speech, language, math, analytical skills, memories of names and words, and motor skills of the right side of the body.

Right: Controls mostly creative skills (including problem solving), emotions, memories of images like faces, spatial zones and patterns of details, and motor skills of the left side of the body.

SURE-HANDED REcEptioNSaskatoon Valkyries receiver Stacey Boldt makes a great catch against Manitoba Fearless defensive back Sara Milani during a Women’s Western Canadian Football League (WWCFL) game at Saskatoon Minor Football Field on Sunday, May 15. The Valkyries improved their record to 2-0 with a dominating 61-1 victory over the visitors. The win sets up an exciting home-and-home series with provincial rivals, the Regina Riot, which also sports a perfect 2-0 record.

Harvest for Kids cultivates future for young peopleBy TERRY [email protected] Children’s Camps Inter-national (CCI) is looking to send a lot of kids in pover-ty-stricken countries to sum-mer camp this year. And they’re relying on the generosity of donors to make that happen. Over the past dozen years, well over a million impover-ished children have benefit-ed from the life-changing ex-perience, which offers them a sense of hope for the fu-ture. One of the most successful annual projects CCI has go-ing for it is Harvest For Kids (H4K), a program that al-lows farmers to donate the proceeds from their crops to the Christian-based charita-ble organization. In Saskatchewan, H4K raises funds every autumn in several communities, as field crops earmarked for the cause are taken off by local farmers who volunteer their labour and equipment. In 2012, H4K organizers captured the Guiness World Record for the most com-bines operating simultane-ously in the same field. A to-tal of 249 machines were

part of the effort, which took place just north of Dalmeny. The world record still stands. That was the biggest H4K event so far, but it’s actual-ly the ongoing small proj-ects that make up the bulk of the donations which keep CCI operating, said H4K Co-ordinator Wendell Andres of Dalmeny. “Worldwide, we’re looking to raise about $7 million an-nually,” said Andres in an interview on Wednesday,

May 11. “Harvest for Kids is one of many ways people can get involved. It’s also the most successful. “Last fall, we took off a crop of canola near Saskatoon that averaged about 60 bushels to the acre. That raised about $70,000 from that 150-acre field alone.” This year, the charity is seeding several area fields to peas, wheat and canola. A core group of about 10 farm-ers is organizing the whole

operation from seeding to harvest, said Andres. Sup-port for the project is also obtained from agricultural input suppliers. This year, H4K is working in partnership with Redber-ry Bible Camp to raise funds through the sale of a crop grown on farmland owned by the camp on the east side of Redberry Lake. “It’s a program called ‘Double your numbers’ and the objective is for Redberry Camp to raise enough money

to send 1,000 kids in Mexico to a summer camp in that country,” said Andres, a former director of the Red-berry Bible Camp. “Every year, about 1,000 youngsters attend the Redberry camp, and they want to have kids in Mexico get that same kind of experience. “So half of the money raised from the sale of that crop will go to help Redber-ry ‘double their numbers’. The other half of the funds will go to CCI.

“There will be a big har-vest celebration in early October once that project wraps up,” said Andres. With harvest still sever-al months away, H4K orga-nizers are currently put-ting their efforts into a fundraising event slated for Hepburn on Saturday, June 4. “It’s a pitchfork fondue supper that features deep-fried steak, hot dogs, salads and other good stuff,” said Andres. “Admission is by do-nation.” The supper features live entertainment including two country bands. Back For-ty kicks off the show at 5:00 p.m. and BJ and Friends from Waldheim take the stage for the second set, winding up at about 8:30 p.m During the half-time break, an illusionist and a special surprise guest en-tertainer will be on hand. There’s also plenty of kids’ activities and a nearby play-ground. Andres said the public is encouraged to attend the family-friendly event. “It will be a lot of fun and it’s for a great cause,” he said.

NICU care of newborns celebrated at ‘Bloom’ By HILARY [email protected] When the life of a new-born hangs perilously in the balance, the Neonatal In-tensive Care Unit (NICU) marshals all its resources to save that life. Many peo-ple who have benefited from NICU in those critical mo-ments want to give back. They had that opportu-nity at ‘Bloom: an Evening of Love,’ a gala evening to raise funds for NICU. Now in its fifth year, Bloom was originally founded by those who felt a debt of gratitude to NICU. Amy Novakovski’s new-born son failed to breathe when he was born and sub-

sequently had aspiration problems. He landed in the NICU where he spent four days fighting for his life. ‘Dutch’ as he is known, is four now. “He’s perfect,” said Novakovski. He is a twin, born after his sister who was healthy from the start. Bloom was originally con-ceived on a smaller scale and with a different name. Due to the response, what started with a steak night to raise a couple thousand dol-lars expanded into a larger vision. On May 14 over 300 guests attended the sold out event at the Travelodge Ho-tel. The name changed to

Bloom last year. “We decid-ed to change gears and go a little bit more classic with our event versus the tradi-tional steak night,” said No-vakovski, who serves as co-event director alongside Tina Searcy. “We wanted a name that would encompass the event that could mean everything - the motherhood, the ba-bies - so that’s where Bloom came from.” Generosity was in bloom at this Evening of Love, both in monetary and emo-tional support. Several sto-ries were shared of those who have been helped by

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19Honesty is always the best policy, Capricorn. This will become obvious when a past untruth you shared comes back to haunt you. Confess now to save face. AQUARIUS January 20– February 18You have the physical stamina to accomplish many things. This week is bound to be one with a lot of prog-ress. Make a list now of what you want to accomplish.

PISCES February 19– March 20Pisces, be patient with the people around you. You may be fast to grasp a concept, but it could take others a little while longer.

ARIES March 21– April 19Aries, your tendency this week is to escape into your mind and imagination. While that’s fine for a little while, pretty soon you have to come back down to earth.

TAURUS April 20– May 20Taurus, people are pulling you in all sorts of directions this week. They each want you to share in their good times, but there’s only so much of you that can go around.

GEMINI May 21– June 21Even though you generally like to keep your feet on the ground, this week you are looking to be a little adventur-ous. Let someone entice you into a whimsical journey.

CANCER June 22– July 22A desire to bring more calm into your life could have you seeking out a vacation or just a respite from daily life. Take the time to unwind and you’ll come back recharged.

LEO July 23– August 22Leo, this week may prove to be a little intense, but you’ll muster the energy and strength to push on through. Bal-ancing fun and some work-related responsibilities is key.

VIRGO August 23– September 22Practicality seems to disappear when you have your mind on enjoyable activities, Virgo. Find a way to be both fun and practical and you will be set.

LIBRA September 23– October 22Well-laid plans are the cornerstone of a successful week, Libra. Everything will go smoothly, but most days should pass without a hitch. Enjoy the brief respite.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21Scorpio, expect a lot of action this week. There’s no slow-ing down as you check off each item on your to-do list. Others may have difficulty keeping up with you.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21Sagittarius, live creative fantasies this week because you might not have another chance to indulge for a while. This is the break you have been seeking for some time.

At the ceremony, Adams and Kenny, on behalf of the dealership management and staff, received a special “Golden Shovel” award from Ford of Canada Market-ing Representation Manag-er Kevin Wood and Ford Re-gional Operations Manager Mark Duguay. Ford of Canada President

new role. “We have to test our own water. We get wa-ter from the city, Sask wa-ter, but we still have to test the water and make sure its safe, I believe it’s three times a week,” he said. May 15 to 21 has been des-ignated Public Works Week in the province of Saskatch-ewan. The theme “Pub-lic Works – Always There” highlights the comprehen-sive impact public works has on Saskatchewan lifestyles.

Craig Habermehl joins RM We count on public works to provide potable water, col-lect wastewater, do snow re-moval, garbage collection, road maintenance and re-place infrastructure. Their services are essential. “We all need safe drinking water, whether it’s from a well or hooked into the city system. And we also need roads to get from ‘A’ to ‘B’. So, I think public works is essential,” says Habermehl. Due to recent rainfalls, the roads are in pretty tough condition right now, he says.

“But we have 10 grader zones with a total of 10 grad-ers running right now on a 10 to 14 day rotation, depend-ing on the weather. “We’re going to get to all the roads as quickly and effi-ciently as we can. So we ask for patience within the com-munity to allow this to hap-pen.” Habermehl looks forward to serving the RM with its various mini-communi-ties, hamlets or small farms, wherever the roads take him.

NICU. Novakovski said friendships and partner-ships are formed between people who share the com-mon bond of their NICU ex-perience. Meaghan Craig hosted the evening and mentalist Curtis Strauss performed sleight of hand tricks at in-dividual tables while guests enjoyed dinner.

Bloom: an evening of LOVEed in the program. One of those was an evening with Warman resident, Chef Dar-ren Craddock who offered a five course meal paired with wines for four people. Many silent auction items were up for bid, from restau-rant gift cards, to artwork, pottery and woodwork. A grand prize of a trip to New Orleans was donated by Gateway Travel in Mar-tensville. Tickets for a West-jet flight for two anywhere they travel were raffled at

$10 for a single. Approximately 10 per cent of all newborns in Canada require a stay and care by NICU. The Saskatoon NICU in-creased their number of beds from 32 to 38, as of De-cember 2015. There is no specific desig-nation for the funds raised at Bloom. Novakovski said the money goes directly into NICU’s regular operating budget to be used as they see fit.

Two students from Clavet Composite School won awards for their entries in a national youth safety video contest earlier this month. Shannen Garibay and Ma-ria Himbeault of Clavet cre-ated compelling videos that earned them top honours in a North America Occupation-al Safety (NAOSH) Week con-

Clavet youth create national safety videotest. The first week of May is recognized as Safety Week. The Clavet students’ videos can be viewed on the Cana-dian Centre for Occupation-al Health and Safety website, www.ccohs.ca.

The Saskatchewan Inter-net Child Exploitation Unit has arrested a man alleged-ly responsible for Making Child Pornography – Jeremy Maendel, age 28, of Warman, Saskatchewan. Last week the ICE Unit re-ceived a complaint where child pornography of a 3-year-old Saskatchewan girl

Warman man charged in child porn investigationwas found by a relative of the child on a smartphone. The ICE Unit investigation identified the suspect, Jere-my Maendel, who was a fam-ily friend. Maendel took the images of the child while she was sleeping and in his care in March at a residence near Duck Lake, Saskatchewan. Maendel was located and

arrested over the weekend and was charged with Mak-ing Child Pornography and Possession of Child Pornog-raphy. Maendel was remanded in custody and made a brief court appearance on Mon-day, May 16. He will return to court on May 18. The ICE Unit investigation

continues. The Saskatchewan ICE Unit is comprised of investi-gators from the RCMP, Regi-na Police Service, Saskatoon Police Service, and Prince Albert Police Service. Their mandate is to investigate crimes involving the abuse and/or exploitation of chil-dren on the Internet.

Health facility visitors gain flexible hours Visitors to health facilities in the province will soon en-joy greater flexibility with visiting hours. Saskatchewan will be the first Canadian province to take a provincial approach to an open family presence policy which will welcome visitors 24 hours a day, sev-en days a week, based on the patient’s preference. Health Minister Dustin Duncan said the approach recognizes families are im-portant partners in patient

care, and not simply visi-tors. The patient determines who comprises their family, whether that is relatives or others they are close to. “This is a great example of improving the patient ex-perience, and we support it 100 per cent,” Duncan said. “Loved ones play an essen-tial role in improving pa-tients’ health, and help fur-ther our goal of providing high-quality, patient-focused care.” Open family presence is

an internationally recog-nized best practice that can benefit patients in many ways, including increased co-ordination of care with front-line staff, fewer med-ication errors, fewer read-missions, and an overall better patient and family ex-perience. “If I had been allowed to be at my mom’s bedside on my own terms, I would not have felt as much anxiety,” patient and family advisor Serese Selanders said. “The

time left with my mom was measured in days. Every hour that we were prevented from seeing her was time we will never get back. Open family presence will change health care by helping ev-eryone recognize that the ‘team’ includes families and loved ones.” All health regions adopt-ed this policy on March 31 and are at various stages of implementation. The experi-ence of patients and families may vary during this time.

A new ‘open family presence’ policy is being implemented by the Ministry of Health
