Quick response keeps motorhome fire from spreading to residenceBy TERRY [email protected] A fire in a motorhome on an acreage just outside the Dalmeny town limits could have been much worse, ac-cording to Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder. Dalmeny Fire Rescue re-sponded to the call at about 9:45 a.m. on Monday, May 18. No one was injured in the blaze, which saw a new-er model diesel motorhome completely destroyed. Witnesses reported a loud explosion, followed by flames roughly 40 to 50 feet high. A column of black smoke could be seen as far east as Warman at the height of the fire. The forward part of the vehicle was fully engulfed when firefighters began turning the hoses on the blaze. Elder said the explosion was likely the front wind-shield of the motorhome blowing out, as the fire ap-

parently started in the driv-er’s cockpit area. The actual cause of the fire is still un-der investigation. “It wouldn’t surprise me that the loud bang was the windshield because it was venting out the front driv-er’s area when I arrived on the scene,” said Elder. “The front part was full of heavy smoke and there was fire showing. You could see it was moving toward the back, and it was just start-ing to vent out the rear of the vehicle.” Firefighters were able to contain the blaze to the ve-hicle, and prevented the fire from spreading to a resi-dence just 50 feet away. The fire was extinguished in about 30 minutes. “Concern over the fire spreading was why we called in the Langham Fire Department for backup,” said Elder. “I knew we could handle this, but if it did get away for whatever reason,

I didn’t want to be playing catch-up.” Elder said the fire start-ed in the upper part of the vehicle, and the upholstery, insulation and fiberglass was burning. Fortunate-ly, the fire did not spread to the lower part of the mo-torhome, where diesel fuel and propane tanks were lo-cated. “There was a lot of con-cern that there was a risk of explosion,” said Elder. “That’s why we started dousing it from a safe dis-tance to get it knocked down and under control.” The firefighters used a combination of water and foam to douse and smother the fire. Warman RCMP, Dalmeny Police, and Langham Fire Rescue also responded to the call. Traffic on the Dalmeny Access Road was diverted to a service road in a commercial area while firefighters fought the blaze.

One person was taken to hospital fol-lowing a collision at a busy highway in-tersection northwest of Saskatoon at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 14. A 68-year-old male driver was in the centre median attempting to cross High-way 16 at Marquis Drive westbound and collided with a southbound vehicle. The 63-year-old male driver of the south-bound vehicle received minor injuries and was transported to hospital for ob-servation. Members from Warman/Martensville RCMP Detachment responded to the crash along with Saskatoon Police Ser-vice and Saskatoon Fire and Rescue. The names of the vehicle occupants will not be released.

Police are searching for a man who escaped from a min-imum security federal institu-tion on May 14. Talion Dillon failed to return to Willow Cree Healing Lodge in Duck Lake following an au-thorized temporary absence. The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) immediately con-tacted the Onion Lake Detach-ment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a warrant for his arrest has been issued. Dillon is 22-years-old, is 180 cm (5’11”) in height and weighs 99 kg (212 lbs). He has a medi-um complexion, brown eyes

and black hair. He is currently serving a sentence of two years, six months, eight days for driv-ing with more than 80 mgs alco-hol in blood, operating a motor vehicle - flight, and operating a motor vehicle while disquali-fied. Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of Dillon is asked to contact the police. CSC will investigate the cir-cumstances of this incident and is working with the police to lo-cate the offender as quickly as possible. CSC has given the po-lice all of the information avail-able to help arrest Dillon.

Additional charges laid in drug, weapons investigation

By TERRY [email protected] Police have laid 113 additional charges against nine in-dividuals who were picked up in a series of early-morning arrests last January. The additional charges were made public on Friday, May 15. The initial arrests were made on January 14 by the In-tegrated Organized Crime Unit North (IOCN), a joint unit made up of Members of the Saskatoon Police Service and the RCMP F Division, during the Project Forseti investi-gation. At the time of the arrests, police also seized a large quantity of illicit drugs worth an estimated street value of $8 million, approximately 200 firearms, and $100,000 in cash. Inspector Jerome Engele of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Saskatoon Police Service said the names of the individuals and the nature of the additional charges cannot be released until the individuals go to court. However, he said, the individuals knew they could be facing other charges following their initial court hearings earlier this year. Engele said the Project Forseti investigation is ongoing, and there are likely to be more charges against other indi-viduals coming forward in the next several weeks. “These charges are all stemming from evidence collect-ed during our initial investigation at the time of the ar-rests,” said Engele in an interview on Friday, May 15. “We are still continuing with our organized crime charge, it’s just a matter of ensuring the paperwork and disclosure is done a step at a time so the courts and the legal repre-sentatives are not overwhelmed with too much at any one time. It is a lot of information to go through.” Engele said he estimates the investigation is about 50 per cent complete. “There is light at the end of the tunnel,” he said. “But until we conclude with all the disclosures, there is more work to be done.” The individuals named in the court documents are slat-ed to appear in provincial court in Saskatoon on May 21 and May 28. During the initial wave of arrests, 14 adults were taken into custody and later appeared on a number of charges. The individuals included: Bradley Carl Mann of Martens-ville; John Feteke, Carl Trobak, Justin Smith, Daryl Nagy, Rob Allen, Ryan Hillman, Mark Michael Nowakowski, Christopher Keith Lester, Layne Joseph James Boorman, and Travis Matthew Miles, all of Saskatoon; Armand Hounjet of Melfort and Thai Duong Tran of Vancouver. Engele said the success of the investigation is largely due to the close cooperation between the police agencies involved.

By TERRY [email protected] Two years ago, a routine medical procedure turned into a race against time, with a young mother’s life hanging in the balance. Bonnie Fortin of Elrose says if it hadn’t been for the Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) medical team and their state-of-the-art helicopter that was able to transport her from Swift Current to Regina in a mat-ter of minutes, she would not be alive today. Speaking at the fourth annual STARS Lot-tery launch in Saskatoon on Thurs-day, May 14, Fortin said she owes her life to the service. Fortin was this year’s “Very Impor-tant Patient” (VIP) at the launch. She volunteered to step for-ward and tell her story in order to show how impor-tant the air ambulance ser-vice is to rural Saskatche-wan. “I was having my fourth son, and we had decided on a C-section birth for this baby,” explained Fortin in an interview at the lottery launch, held at the $1.5 mil-lion lottery showhome in Saskatoon’s Greenbryre neighbourhood. “It was a routine procedure. But I had a complication with my sur-gery and I started bleed-ing and the doctor couldn’t stop it. I was literally bleed-ing to death inside the oper-

ating room at a hospital in Swift Current. I needed to be flown immediately to a specialist in Regina. I nev-er would have survived a two-and-a-half hour trip by ground ambulance. But my trip in the STARS helicopter took 40 minutes and in that time they managed to get me totally stabilized. So that when we arrived in Regina I was taken to surgery imme-diately and they saved my life.” Her baby boy was deliv-

ered safe-ly and was healthy, but Fortin didn’t get to hold him until two days later when she fi-nally woke up in the in-tensive care unit. Fortin said she “re-ally strug-gled” fol-lowing the experience, but credits the STARS personnel for reach-ing out and

helping her heal. “I have zero recollection of the flight,” she said. “I just re-member waking up in inten-sive care. I had lost a piece of my life, and they restored that to me by telling me ev-erything that happened.” Fortin said the STARS crew not only saved her life and that of her baby, they saved her entire family. “I am grateful for this ser-vice every single day,” she said. “Every minute I spend with my children, I owe to STARS.” Dr. Anne Doig, a member of the STARS Board of Di-

rectors, said the service is extremely important. The Saskatoon family physician, a former president of the Ca-nadian Medical Association, related her own family’s experience. In July, 2008, Doig’s son was seriously in-jured in a collision on High-way 2 in Alberta. He was

flown to hospital by STARS, and recovered from his inju-ries. Rod Gantefoer, Executive Director of the STARS Foun-dation, the fundraising arm of the organization, said the air ambulance service has

Crash claims life on Hwy. 16

Dalmeny Fire Rescue personnel work to free a trapped woman following a two-vehicle collision on Wednesday morning, May 13

One person died as a re-sult of injuries sustained in a two-vehicle collision on Highway 16 and the Dalmeny Access Road on Wednesday morning, May 13. A 46-year-old woman was rushed from the scene of the collision to Royal University Hospital but succumbed to her injuries later that day. The crash occurred just before 8:00 a.m. Dalmeny Fire Rescue, Warman RCMP, RM of Corman Park Police Service and MD Am-bulance personnel respond-ed to the scene. Two other people were also injured in the collision. A 77-year-old female was also transport-ed to RUH with serious inju-ries and a 79-year-old male

was taken to RUH with mi-nor injuries. The RCMP are not releasing the names of the vehicle occupants. The force of the collision resulted in both vehicles ending up in the south ditch alongside the southbound lanes of the divided high-way. RCMP are investigat-ing the crash to determine the exact cause. Warman RCMP said the 79-year-old driver of a 2002 Chevro-let Venture van attempted to cross the highway south-bound and struck an east-bound 2007 Ford Fusion sedan driven by the 46-year-old female. Dalmeny Fire and MD Ambulance were on scene and treating the vehicle oc-cupants when the RCMP ar-

rived. The jaws of life were used to free the driver of the car.

MAN RESCUED FROM RIVER MD Ambulance paramed-ics also responded to a re-port of a man who jumped into the South Saskatche-wan River on Wednesday morning, May 13. According to spokesperson Troy Davies, the incident happened at approximately 6:15 a.m. Davies said para-medics were called to as-sist a 23-year-old male who had jumped into the river. A family member on scene jumped in to help the indi-vidual. The man was res-cued and was transported to St Pauls with minor inju-ries.

By JAMES [email protected] The Saskatchewan Emer-gency Medical Services As-sociation (SEMSA) held its annual general meeting and conference in Saskatoon, May 11 to 13. SEMSA works with the EMS industry to strength-en and advance EMS in Saskatchewan by ensur-ing high-quality account-able patient care and to pro-vide guidance, support, and a common voice on behalf of all EMS members. The conference featured three guest speakers: Robin Davis, Nelson Scott and Jim Hopson, former President and CEO of the Saskatche-wan Roughriders.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS Davis, who is regarded as one of the best situation-al awareness and safety in-structors in the industry, spoke about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and street violence. He provid-ing strategies on how para-

medics can keep themselves safe. Davis, a former police of-ficer and paramedic with 28 years experience in the Bal-timore-Washington DC re-gion, said EMS profession-als should always be aware of their surroundings. “The example I will use is: ‘do you think you will be robbed when you go out?’ ‘Do you think you will wreck your car?’ We all say no because we don’t want to accept that it will happen,” said Davis. “I want people to know that violence knows no colour, no socioeconomic status, and it can happen to you.” Saskatoon’s rise in gun vi-olence is a concern for emer-gency services personnel who have to work on the front lines. SEMSA Director Lyle Kar-asiuk, who is Director of Public Affairs for Parkland Ambulance in Prince Al-bert, said this past winter he participated in a series of mental health discussions

aimed at understanding situations where violence against EMS personnel is a potential danger. Karasiuk said PTSD is becoming a more wide-ly accepted condition in the EMS community in both ur-ban and rural areas. “A lot of what we know about PTSD is understand-ing what it is and know-ing what we need to express about it,” said Davis. “It is okay to feel sorry. We are humans, but when it starts affecting our eating, sleep-ing and family dynamics then we need to reach out, own up and speak to some-one about it.”

HIRING AND RETENTION Nelson Scott addressed EMS managers and supervi-sors at the conference on the topic of knowing how to hire and retain the right employ-ees. In terms of hiring people Scott said a good predictor of how a employee will per-form in the future is how

Paramedics face threat of violence while on duty, conference toldthey performed in the past. During the interview pro-cess Scott said an employer should ask potential candi-dates situational questions about how they handled sit-uations in the past that would be similar to situa-tions they would face in the new job if they are hired. When it comes to the issue of retention, Scott said a big reason why people leave or-ganizations is because they feel unappreciated. Scott said an important tool employers can use to keep valued employees is by recognizing their efforts. “In surveys I have done on the topic of staff recognition a lot of people tell me they would much rather have someone give them a pat on the back,” said Scott. “It is about feeling you are noticed, valued as an indi-vidual. It doesn’t take a lot

of money. It is just a case of being very purposeful in telling someone they are do-ing a good job.” Scott said recognizing an employee’s efforts is still im-portant for people who work in rural areas of the prov-ince. “One of the advantages of working in a small commu-nity is that you have more of an opportunity to do meaningful things at work than you would in a larger community. You are going to deal with more types of medical situations than you would probably face in a ma-jor city.” Karasiuk said there are lots of jobs available for paramedics right now in ru-ral areas which are really diversified. “We are seeing them [paramedics] now in de-tox centres, in communi-

ty emergency centres, in nursing homes and we are starting to see that expand-ed scope role for them,” said Karasiuk. “There are lots of opportunities for them to be frontline caregivers and work in health care in different perspectives. We are going to see communi-ty paramedics having a big-ger influence than street paramedics five or ten years from now.” Hopson’s speech was more of a pep talk to paramedics employees, administration and managers about the role paramedics play in profes-sional sports. Hopson is also the official spokesperson for the Saskatchewan Brain In-jury Association’s “Save Your Melon” campaign. The campaign has been recog-nized nationally for its im-pact on the prevention of brain injuries.

ADVERTISE WITH US


By JAMES [email protected] The Saskatchewan Drama Association (SDA) award-ed Clavet Composite School with Best Overall Produc-tion honours for their play “Shuttersome: Tales of Poe” at the Provincial Drama Festival in Regina on May 8. It was the first time the school won the award and festival in the program’s 15-year history and comes on the heels of their region-al win at the SDA’s Region-al Drama Competition in Prince Albert on April 24 and 25. For a program with lim-ited resources, many of the students felt they were the underdog heading into the competition. But none of that matters now, said assistant director Leslie Schmidt. “They were jumping up and screaming when we won,” Schmidt said of the students. “It was just won-derful. We were one of the smallest schools that per-formed at the SDA regional and provincial festivals so this win is special.” The uniqueness of their play and the way it was performed is what made it standout and drew a lot of inspiring and positive com-ments from adjudicators, Schmidt added. “One adjudicator said it was very powerful, while others said the play was very effective without being overbearing.” The structure of the play involved taking segments of five of famous author Edger Allen Poe’s literary works and combining them into a production which required constant movement (danc-ing, singing, acting) by the student cast, which meant no one student stood out or ran away with the perfor-mance. Schmidt has been helping out with the school’s drama program since 2009, when her son attended the school. The program’s directors also include Lori Ulrich,

John Peterson and former drama student Braden Bent-ley. As one of the directors, Schmidt said the win was very gratifying. “When you see all the hard work students put into it and how they pull togeth-er as a team it is reward-ing.” Acting aside, an equally important part of any play are the technicians behind the scenes. Schmidt said the play’s technicians made the production seamless, which is remarkable because they had to adjust to lighting and sound techniques at the pro-vincial festival that are not available at their school. Besides the Best Over-all Award the play also re-ceived awards for Best Tech-nical Production and was runner-up for Best Visual Production. There were also individual technical and acting merit awards handed out at the provincial drama festival. Delaynie Crosby won the Technical Merit for Sound, Gracie Brissaw received the Best Technical Performance Award and Tallassee Cros-by was honoured with the merit award for Stage Man-agement. Lexi Bentley, Eva Francis-Work and Terryl Woodward all received mer-it awards for acting in the play. After such a memorable win and six graduating dra-ma students leaving the pro-gram, a lot of students are wondering how they are go-ing to win it all next year. Schmidt said sometimes the best part of competing at a regional and provincial drama festival are the un-knowns. “Every year we start fresh. It’s a brand new dra-ma year, we don’t stress about what we did in the past. We tend to focus on the play we have chosen. We go into it with the mind-set of mixing it up, introducing students to different genres of drama, performing them and seeing where it takes us.”

For now, though, the fo-cus for Clavet Composite School’s drama club is cele-brating their win. Schmidt said the school has plans to honour the drama club with an assembly at the school on May 25.

Premier Brad Wall says Saskatchewan’s diverse economy has proven to be very resilient despite a slowdown in the oil sector caused by falling crude oil prices. “The spring sitting of the Legislature was all about keep-ing our economy strong and the new employment numbers released just last week show our economy remains strong,” Wall said. “With 7,700 more people working in Saskatche-wan and the lowest unemployment rate in Canada for the 19th straight month - these are sure signs of a strong and diverse economy.” Wall said the highlight of the spring sitting, which ends today, was the introduction of a balanced budget that con-trols spending and makes record investments in infrastruc-ture, without raising any taxes. “Sound financial management, low taxes and important investments in highways, schools and hospitals all contrib-ute to a strong and growing economy,” Wall said. “We have seen what has happened in Saskatchewan in the past when governments raise taxes and stop investing in infrastruc-ture. Businesses stop creating new jobs and people leave. We’re never going to go back to that.” Wall said several important announcements occurred during the spring sitting that will lead to more economic activity and jobs in Saskatchewan. “A $1.7 billion mine expansion by Mosaic, a $200 million expansion by Evraz and a new deal for Cameco to sell 3,000 tonnes of uranium to India - these all mean increased ex-ports, more jobs and a stronger Saskatchewan,” Wall said. “Our government will stay focused on keeping Saskatche-wan strong and never going back to the days of a struggling economy in our province.”

Working horse teams set to take spotlight at old-time demonstration By TERRY [email protected] At one time, Saskatche-wan farms relied on real horses to provide all the horsepower. A demonstration of how horses were used to pull plows, harrows, binders and other farm equipment is slated for Saturday, May 30 near Dalmeny. The idea behind the day-long event is to educate and entertain, according to Ken Crush of Langham, a long-time horse enthusiast and one of the event organizers. “When I was a kid, I used to train a neighbour’s hors-

es,” said Crush in an inter-view. “When I retired from teaching about a decade ago, I decided I wanted to be a kid again, so in the last five years I have built up a team of Percherons.” Crush and other horse en-thusiasts like Brad Funk, Travis Waldner, and Mel Henry have participated in community parades and other events like the Bor-den Threshing Day, where they’ve demonstrated how teams of horses have pulled binders and other equip-ment. They’ve also partic-ipated in competitions in Battleford and Bjorkdale.

The idea of a local “plow-ing match” was floated for this area, and in the past few weeks its been modified to a demonstration day rath-er than a competition. “Plowing is an art,” said Crush. “And most of us need a lot more practice, so we decided to broaden it to in-clude all types of equipment, and to focus on the fun as-pect and just encourage peo-ple to come out and watch and enjoy the event.” The organizers are en-couraging those with hors-es to participate. Interest-ed horse owners can contact Brad Funk at 306-283-4850.

The Mennonite Central Committee Saskatchewan (MCCS) is able to stretch its overseas aid dollars further as a result of a recent do-nation from the locally-run Warman Thrift Shop. The Warman Thrift Shop, which is run largely volun-teers from the area, provid-ed a generous gift of $20,000 in additional funding to-ward MCCS international program. This gift helps MCCS meet its commitment to lo-cal and global relief work. The Warman Thrift Shop’s contribution will support programs like wa-ter projects in Mozambique. Since 2008 the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC)

has supported the building of sand dams in the Chang-ara District. When building a sand dam a concrete wall is built across a dry riverbed. In the rainy season this wall slows down the riv-er and stores water in sand that collects against the dam. During the dry season the community can extract water from the sand by dig-ging holes. Because of the sand dams people can wa-ter their gardens all year round. Tino Gento, who is excited about her first garden, says that her family eats more vegetables now. “We had kids who were not healthy, but now they are,” she said.

Warman Thrift Shop makes additional donation to MCCS

This generous gift makes it possible for MCC to contin-ue working in Mozambique.MCC supports over 40 sand dam projects in Mozam-bique, Tanzania and Kenya. “We are very grateful for the Warman Thrift Shop and their vision of walk-ing with us in supporting our international program and addressing the chal-lenges of many communi-ties around the world,” said Claire Ewert Fisher, Exec-utive Director, Mennonite Central Committee Sas-katchewan.

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

How does the commercial go? Ah yes, I know…“Think Sas-katchewan”. After spending the last 10 years in Manitoba completing job and familial obligations my husband, who was born and raised in Manitoba but having previously lived and worked in Saskatchewan, decided maybe it was time to bring our family “home”. I myself, being born and raised in Saskatch-ewan, was more than ready to come home. So we started “Thinking Saskatchewan.” We began pay-

ing closer attention to the ads and my husband began looking for employment. We started re-searching towns and villages near to Saskatoon as to be close to the medical and service needs necessary for our autistic son. We wanted to give him all that had been denied him by our choice of living in northern Manitoba. Now here we are. My husband did indeed find employment here with Agrium Vanscoy. He started in January; the boys and I joined him in April to begin the transition to life on the prai-ries. Our choice of residence is Delisle. My re-search showed a beautiful little town, close to the city and excellent reviews and personal recom-mendations for the Delisle Elementary School, its staff, students and board. This was important in the extreme because, as I mentioned, we have two school aged boys. Joshua is 10 and diagnosed as moderately autistic and Jaxsen is seven and as typical as you can get. The boys started at Delisle Elementary School on April 13, the Monday immediately following spring break. We had come down the week before and met with the school about Joshua’s needs and the school’s ability to meet them. Both boys are doing great! We love the school! However, as we have been here for a few weeks now, I am get-ting discouraged. We had long been denied im-plementing some great ideas to help Josh excel in the school setting, not because of lack of funds, but because of proximity to resources. So coming to Saskatchewan we didn’t think this was going to be an issue anymore. How wrong we were! We have come to find out we are living in one of the fastest and largest growing school di-

visions in the province and it is literally paying the price by having an enormous funding deficit ($7.1 million was the figure I was told). We have already seen Josh’s staff pur-chase things beneficial to him on their own because there is no money to do so otherwise. This makes us angry and ashamed at you, the Saskatchewan government. For all that you tout “Think Saskatchewan”, you Mr. Pre-mier and colleagues are not thinking of your Saskatche-wan children. We cannot even begin to express our anger and disappointment in the blatant disregard for children in this province. This disservice of underfunding children’s/families’ educational needs means as a “new” family to Sas-katchewan we are seeing a lack of early learning spaces, the overcrowded classrooms, understaffing, overworked/burnt out staff and administrators. Coming from a “have-not” province to one that is suppos-edly a “have” I am disgusted. Speaking from personal experience you sirs are so far be-hind Manitoba in this area it is sad! It is sad that you can-not see the value of providing the money and tools neces-sary to the Saskatchewan school divisions, particularly Prairie Spirit. These young families and children are the very future of Saskatchewan. You are counting on us to make sure that Saskatchewan continues to grow and thrive, yet you are denying us the very thing necessary to do so – an excellent education. We certainly are not seeing the “Saskatchewan Advan-tage” in this sorry situation. We hope that you, Mr. Premier Wall and your Saskatchewan Party government, rectify this quickly for the good of the future of the province. Please don’t make this family regret “Thinking Saskatche-wan.”

The reaction to an Alber-ta NDP government was pre-dictable. What’s harder to determine is whether it is realistic. No sooner had the jokes died down about refugee camps on the Alberta-Sas-katchewan border than came stories from the oil sector of threats to pull out their busi-ness out of Alberta and move east. Calgary-based Bonterra En-ergy said it had initially de-cided to spend all its money in Alberta, but is now assess-ing whether some of its ex-ploration dollars should be moved to moved to Saskatche-wan or British Columbia. “If it gets too difficult and it’s more economic and there’s a better rate of return for your shareholders in Sas-katchewan, (or) B.C. than it might be in Alberta if they make some drastic changes, then obviously, as stewards of the company, we should be looking at where we can get a better return,” George Fink, Bonterra CEO, told the Regi-na Leader-Post’s Bruce John-stone. Much will depend on whether premier-designate Rachel Notley’s government decides to go ahead with her plan to increase royalty rates

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

Will Alberta NDP win restart a boom here?

and raise the corporation in-come tax rate from 10 to 12 per cent, said Fink, who is originally from Vibank. “We don’t really know what this (NDP) government is going to do. We’re hoping we can sit down and have open and frank discussions and make it work for everyone.” Crescent Point Energy CEO Scott Saxberg; Saskatche-wan’s biggest oil producer; predicted a fire sale on assets in Alberta if Notley makes good on that royalty rate hike. “If the NDP create further uncertainty on royalties, and change royalties to impact valuations, it will provide an opportunity for companies, such as ourselves, to step in and buy Alberta-based com-panies for a discount value,’’ Saxberg said. Such noise is making the Saskatchewan Party govern-ment almost giddy. “There is uncertainty in Al-berta right now with respect to the royalty review that

the new (Alberta NDP) gov-ernment has promised,” said Economy Minister Jeremy Harrison, minister responsi-ble for jobs and skills train-ing. Harrison was quick to note that former Alberta Progres-sive Conservative premier Ed Stelmach produced the same effect when he also threat-ened a royalty review. “We’ve seen this before,” Harrison said. “It happened in Alberta in 2009 and there was significant increase in investment into Saskatche-wan because of it.” Certainly, more oil compa-nies moving into this prov-ince from Alberta would be good news for many parts of rural Saskatchewan now see-ing oilfield workers laid off. And it might even mean a lit-tle more good news for the Saskatchewan budget that is starting to see money from oil land lease sales peter out. But whether it’s all that great; or whether it will even happen; is a little early to say. According to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Pro-ducers (CAPP), such talk is definitely premature. “We want the NDP to have a little bit of run time and un-derstand the industry,” said CAPP spokeswoman Chel-

sie Klassen. “And they seem open to understanding what the industry is about. So we’re not going into panic mode.’’ Klassen noted CAPP has “worked with NDP govern-ments before’’; including Sas-katchewan’s last NDP gov-ernment that set our current royalty rates. And the man blamed for starting the demise of the Al-berta PC dynasty reminds us that it’s also a problem when governments gets too cozy with business. “Our popularity was al-ways in the centre and some-one gave the advice to move to the right,” Stelmach told the Edmonton Journal af-ter his party was reduced 10 seats. There is little doubt that the Alberta PC government got into trouble in its last budget that refused to tax business when it was taxing everyone else. Moreover, Stelmach be-lieves there is “certainly no need for business to panic over an NDP government be-fore any decisions are made.” An Alberta NDP govern-ment could bring some good news for rural Saskatchewan, but how much and for how long is really the question.

Our group part-nered with the Students on the Beamlines program at the University of Saskatche-

Many months of research, challenges, and meetings with our synchrotron part-ners, Tracy, Rob, and Adam finally resulted in our ques-tion—how is the carbon in soil contaminated with weathered hydrocarbons from a flare pit changed by Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon)?

Construction has begun for the season on Highway 7 near Vanscoy and also be-tween Delisle and Rosetown. According to the provin-cial Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, work be-gan on construction of eight passing lanes on Highway 7 west of Delisle at the end of April. The $11.3 million proj-ect was initiated last year, and two of the eight passing lanes are already completed. The entire project is slated to be finished by this fall. Work commenced May 13 on paving 9.5 kilometers of Highway 7 between the Highway 60 junction and Vanscoy. The total cost of this project is $3.1 million and is slated to be completed by this fall. The final touches to the rebuilding of Highway 305 between Martensville and Warman will be completed

this summer. The upgrades to Highway 305 between Martensville and Dalmeny will be continuing this sum-mer. Motorists are reminded to watch for signs and always slow to 60 km/hr in work zones. The construction season is well underway with 15 proj-ects already in progress. Major projects underway in-clude paving on Highway 51 in and around Kerrobert and a grade and pave east of Martensville on Highway 305. New work beginning this week includes a $22 million surfacing project on High-way 263, for a total distance of 13 km. The Government of Sas-katchewan has invested a record $5.2 billion in trans-portation infrastructure since 2008.

the Alberta oil sands and in making contaminated soil better suited for plant growth is what lead us to our question. After growing our grass and recording our obser-vations over a leisurely six week period, we were rushed to complete soil col-lection and sample prepara-tion, so we could make it in time for our eight hour shift on the SGM beamline. Our shift ended at midnight. It was a long night, but we got “really good results” that we’ve been asked to write about for publication in a scientific journal! This was very exciting after over a year of work on the project. Many thanks to our part-ners and helpers Tracy

Walker, Robert Blyth, Adam Gillespie, and Tom Regi-er because they kept us on track and got us ready to use the beamline. The Ca-nadian Geological Founda-tion assisted us with some of our work. There were many beamline scientists who stopped in while we were testing to ask us about our work and to share their ideas, which is always ap-preciated. There were also scientists (from here and around the world) who came to our presentation, asked good questions about our results, and gave us some ideas for further research. It was a lot of hard work, but it was a really reward-ing and educational experi-ence!

Valley Manor skips to top of national fundraising campaignBy TERRY [email protected] Valley Manor School skipped out of the gate quickly in the race to raise funds for the Canadian Heart and Stroke Founda-tion, and students at the Martensville elementary school never looked back. Now they’re looking down on the rest of the country from a pretty lofty perch as one of the top fundraisers in all of Canada.

As of Friday, May 15, Valley Manor School had raised a total of $17,597 in the Heart and Stroke Jump Rope for Heart campaign. That’s miles ahead of the second-place Saskatchewan school, Pleasantdale Ele-mentary, which has raised $7,026. But what’s even more amazing is that only three other schools in the entire country have raised more than Valley Manor. The

Warman Open House fosters dialogue, provides answersBy TERRY [email protected] The City of Warman tried a new approach to inform-ing residents about its day-to-day operations and future plans during an open house last week. The Open House, held Thursday, May 14, replaced the traditional ratepayers annual meeting. The new format was aimed at foster-ing dialogue and encourag-ing more one-on-one ques-tions and answers between residents and city depart-ments. It seemed to work, as the turnout for the event far ex-ceeded the attendance of previous years’ ratepayers meetings. More importantly, said Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence, residents came away with a lot more infor-mation and knowledge about their community and how it operates. “The format is great be-cause people can talk to any-one they want, they can see the equipment that the dif-ferent departments use, and they can bring any concerns directly to the folks they should talk to,” said Spence. “I believe people will take a lot of information away from this.” Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin said many people were surprised

at the range of services pro-vided by the volunteer fire department and first re-sponders in Warman. “This time of year we get a lot of questions about fire-works and backyard fire pits and things like that,” said Austin. “We made up a pam-phlet to describe some of the changes that are now in our new bylaw that deal with those areas, and they’re also on the city website.” Warman Fire Rescue, Warman Public Works and Warman Parks and Recre-ation departments all had a fleet of vehicles on display outside the Brian King Cen-tre, where the event was held. Youngsters were par-ticularly keen to tour the fire trucks and try on the firefighters’ helmets. Mark Stiglitz, a volunteer with Warman Neighbour-hood Watch, said the open house provided an opportu-nity for the group to explain its goals and to attract new volunteers. “We’re all about creating a safe neighbourhood and safe community,” said Sti-glitz. “We want to educate people about how they can take steps to reduce crimes of opportunity. If we look out for each other, and be good neighbours, it really makes a difference. We’re not a bunch of vigilan-tes, and we’re not the law.

We’re just people who want to get involved in our com-munity and get to know our neighbours.” Signs designating Warman as a Neighbour-hood Watch community are slated to be erected at the six entrances to the city n the near future. The signs were donated by Warman Fire Rescue. Warman Planning and De-velopment Manager Brad Toth said many residents had questions about the fu-ture growth plans of the city, and what street im-provements are being con-templated this year. He said the city intends to rebuild the portion of Central Street from the new commer-cial development to Crystal Springs Drive next year. “The reason we are hold-ing off this year is because there is work being done on water drainage, and also there are ongoing large con-struction projects at 700 and 800 Central Street,” said Toth. “We figured we would give it a year and let con-struction progress to the point where the large ma-chinery is pretty much done.” The city’s new Official Community Plan (OCP) was also available for viewing at the open house, as was the provincial Ministry of High-ways and Infrastructure’s proposed overpasses for Warman. Warman Economic Devel-opment Officer Josh Welz said many people are inter-ested in knowing what new businesses are locating in Warman. He noted that with the slowdown in the econ-omy, the pace of growth is likely to slacken a bit, al-though it will still be hot. He said until agreements with major corporations are signed on the dotted line, de-tails of new stores can’t be made public. But, he add-ed, there are some major an-nouncements in the wind.

Martensville school was pegged at the fourth-high-est fundraiser as of May 15. The top fundraiser is Matta-wa District Public School in Ontario ($28,935), followed by two Alberta schools: Sam Livingston Elementa-ry ($25,928) and Royal Oak School ($21,812). The campaign official-ly wrapped up on Tuesday, May 19, and the final tal-ly will be made public this week.

Valley Manor School Vice-Principal Michael Cox said the kids, their parents and the entire community em-braced the campaign. “This is the first time in many years that we got in-volved in this,” said Cox in an interview on Thurs-day, May 14, one of two days set aside for students in the school to jump rope at scheduled times. “We set our goal at $3500 because we had just completed anoth-

Community Recreation Project gets backing of Martensville councilBy TERRY [email protected] The Martensville Com-munity Recreation Project (MCRP) has the support of Martensville City Council in its quest to build a second indoor ice surface facility. MCRP spokesperson Jes-se Reis outlined the group’s fundraising initiatives to Martensville City Coun-cil’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, May 12. Flanked by several oth-er members of the MCRP ex-ecutive, Reis said the group was formed a year ago by volunteers who want to not only add a second ice sur-face, but also renovate the existing facility to allow it to be used year-round for many different types of ac-tivities. “We’re looking to form a partnership with the City of Martensville,” said Reis in his presentation to coun-cil. “We want to open up the lines of communication to share ideas, and move for-

ward with a common goal and a common direction.” Reis said the group hopes to mesh its fundraising ac-tivities with the city’s long-

term plans for additional rec-reation facilities. He noted that user groups, including ringettte, minor hockey, and figure skating clubs are anx-ious to increase the avail-ability of ice time for the growing numbers of kids in-volved in organized sports. Martensville City Council-or Terry Kostyna applauded the group’s initiative, saying it is reminiscent of the vol-unteer efforts that went into building the existing indoor rink in the early 1980s. “I can’t speak for the en-tire council,” said Kostyna.

“I’m the fossil on council. I was around when we fund-raised to build the first one. We did snowmobile trips and there was a group of volunteers who drove that campaign. We got it built, but I always regretted that we didn’t spend the extra money and get a concrete surface so it could be used year round.” The MCRP raised $11,539.61 in its first-ev-er Playoff Draft earlier this fall, which saw 24 teams and 200 people at the event. Hundreds of dollars have also been donated by minor hockey teams toward the cause. The City is exploring op-tions in its 2017 budget for a second ice surface. Coun-cil agreed to work with the MCRP by appointing a coun-cilor as a liaison person on the committee. The MCRP is organizing ongoing fundraising events.

by Wayne [email protected] Spring is here, which means many youngsters will be outside riding their bicycles. To help them learn how to do so in a safe man-ner the City of Warman, Warman Fire Department, and Warman Elementary School held a bike rodeo at the Warman Fire Hall park-ing lot on Tuesday, May 12. This event was part of Sas-katchewan Prevention Insti-tute’s Bike Safety week. The theme this year is “Bike Safe Saskatchewan”. Kate Dunn, Child Inju-ry Prevention Program Co-ordinator at the Institute, explained, “Saskatchewan Prevention Institute has de-clared Bike Safety Week in May for the past decade. This year it is from the 11-17 and we really encourage communities and individu-als in the province to real-ly share the message about biking safe.” A bicycle rodeo helps to fo-cus the community on the need for hands-on learning for child cyclists and pro-vides a fun environment to learn. It was obvious that the 500 plus students in-volved were enjoying them-selves and were also getting the intended message. Dunn observed: “It is

great. There are so many kids here and you can see the smiles on their faces. I was talking to some of them. They really understood the message. I asked them what do you think bicycle safe-ty is. They were quick to re-spond with: wear your hel-met, follow the rules of the road. The message is really getting out there and it is so exciting.” Dunn added: “It is espe-cially important to start at a young age, you want to de-velop those great habits, wearing your helmet, riding on the road safely.” City of Warman’s Commu-nity Programs and Special Events supervisor Coralie Bueckert, talked about the importance of having stu-dents from grade1-3 in-volved. “Bike safety is so impor-tant because the communi-ty is growing, and so is the number of children that are in the community. The more kids you educate the bet-ter it is. Just learning about stopping at stop signs, wear-ing proper helmets, things like that are absolutely criti-cal,” said Bueckert. Particpants’ bikes were checked and helmets were adjusted for proper size and then students rode through a course designed to test

their skills and teach them the rules of the road. This was done with the help of many volunteers. Bueckert talked about how the community really stepped up for the event. She said: “It is amazing that we have been able to partner with so many different de-partments and people with-in the community.” The Fire Department, RCMP, City Council. Every-body has been amazing in coming together to make this day a huge success.” All students were given ac-tivity packages to encourage them to review what they learned and to help them share with their parents.

Potash Corporation of Sas-katchewan Inc. (Potash-Corp) announced a com-mitment of one-third of the costs - up to $800,000 - to support construction of a new community hall in Ro-canville. The original Rocanville hall was built in 1950 and used until 2004. Since that time, the curling rink has been used as a hall, but with limitations. The new facil-

The Fraser Institute Annual Survey of Mining Companies: 2014 was released today show-ing Saskatchewan is the most attractive jurisdiction for min-ing investment in Canada, and second most attractive world-wide behind Finland. The annual global survey of mining executives rates 122 ju-risdictions around the world based on their geologic at-tractiveness and the extent to which government policies en-courage exploration and invest-ment. “Saskatchewan is the best place to invest for mining, and we’ve been working hard to get that message out around the world,” Energy and Resources Minister Bill Boyd said. “Our government has been very fo-cused on offering competitive resource royalty structures, re-liable, transparent and stable government policies, and best

of all—a province that has a wealth of resource possibilities for those that invest here.” The province improved in 2014 compared to the 2013 re-port, where Saskatchewan ranked 2nd in Canada and 7th worldwide. The provincial government’s continued commitment to ac-quiring high quality, easily ac-cessible geo-science informa-tion and focus on improving mining policies are attributed to the improvement. “In addition to our wealth of natural minerals, we have been striving for reduced red tape and enhanced customer service for the mining industry,” Boyd said. “Our MARS staking sys-tem that provides online claims staking is just one example of improvements we’ve made that save mining companies mil-lions of dollars—dollars that can be spent on exploration and development, rather than ad-ministrative processes.” Saskatchewan was fol-lowed by Manitoba and Que-bec in the Canadian rankings, with Alberta placing 8th, On-tario 9th, and British Colum-bia 10th. Five Canadian juris-dictions finished in the top 10 worldwide: Saskatchewan (2), Manitoba (4), Quebec (6), New-foundland and Labrador (8) and Yukon (9). Ontario and British Columbia placed 23rd and 28th, respectively. The survey was conducted between August 26 and Novem-ber 15, 2014, and includes the responses of 485 mineral explo-ration and development compa-ny executives from around the world. Exploration budgets re-ported by companies participat-ing in the survey totalled $2.7 billion US in 2014 and $3.2 bil-lion US in 2013.

ity is expected to be used for drama and other stage presentations, as well as dances, sporting events and more. It will also be equipped with meeting and catering facilities. “At PotashCorp, we’re proud to play a role in pro-viding important facilities in those communities where we operate,” said Mark Fracchia, PotashCorp’s President, PCS Potash.

“Rocanville is a vibrant community and we’re pleased to help create a com-munity gathering space which is poised to become the heart of this communi-ty.” With an expected cost of approximately $2.4 million, the remaining costs would be covered by the Rural Mu-nicipality of Rocanville, the Town of Rocanville, fundraising initiatives and

grants. Following a public consul-tation process, construction could be begin in summer 2015, with an opening date in the fall of 2015 or early 2016. As the world’s largest crop nutrient company, Potash-Corp plays an integral role in global food production. The company produces the three essential nutrients re-quired to help farmers grow

healthier, more abundant crops. With global popula-tion rising and diets improv-ing in developing countries, crop nutrients such as pot-ash, phosphates and nitro-gen offer a responsible and practical solution to help produce the food we need, from the land we have. The Rocanville facility has been in operation since 1970 and is one of our six potash mines in Canada.

The Saskatchewan Mining Association (SMA) and Sas-katchewan Polytechnic an-nounced the Standardized Contractor Safety Train-ing program. The program will be coordinated through Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Centre for Minerals Innova-tion (CMI). It will establish common provincial training standards for all contractors working at SMA member companies. “For contractors, this will mean one set of training standards reducing repetitive training, saving time and fa-cilitating mobility between SMA member sites,” said Cristal Glass-Painchaud, Sas-katchewan Polytechnic direc-tor of the Centre for Minerals Innovation. Pam Schwann, SMA exec-utive director, indicated that the SMA Safety Committee has been exploring ways to improve contractor safety performance for a number of years. “For SMA mem-ber companies, the Stan-dardized Contractor Safety Program will provide as-surance that all contractors working at sites will consis-tently have the knowledge and training to provide safe work,” said Schwann. “We are very pleased that Sas-katchewan Polytechnic has agreed to be our partner on this important project.” Initial offerings available for registration April 1 in-cluded WHMIS and gener-al mine safety. Addition-

Partnership to create common provincial training standards for

contractors at SMA sitesal courses such as confined space entry, fall protection, hoisting and rigging safety among others will be rolled out as they become avail-able. The CMI is working with regional colleges and approved third-party train-ing providers to ensure that the standardized training is available throughout Sas-katchewan. Contractors in-terested in the program can visit saskpolytech.ca/cmi or call the CMI at 306-659-6968 for more information. The CMI is an operational unit within Saskatchewan Polytechnic that works with mining and minerals stake-holders through developing and sharing resources, fa-cilitating access to leading-edge educational services, providing and supporting high quality training pro-grams, and facilitating op-portunities for innovation through applied research partnerships. The Saskatchewan Mining Association (SMA) is the

voice of the mining industry in Saskatchewan. The asso-ciation represents and sup-ports a safe, responsible and growing Saskatchewan min-ing industry. Saskatchewan Polytech-nic serves 26,000 distinct students through applied learning opportunities at campuses in Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Regina and Saskatoon, and through ex-tensive distance education opportunities. Programs serve every economic and public service sector. As a polytechnic, the organiza-tion provides the depth of learning appropriate to em-ployer and student need, in-cluding certificate, diplo-ma and degree programs, and apprenticeship training. Saskatchewan Polytechnic engages in applied research, drawing on faculty exper-tise to support innovation by employers, and provid-ing students the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills.

AREVA’s management has initiated negotiations with labor organizations to orga-nize the social dialogue and management of employment and competencies in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Known as the “Triennial Transition Con-tract for Human Capital and Economic Safeguard of the Group,” this project is part of the competitiveness plan announced on March 4th. The economic situation of the company requires tak-ing immediate cost saving measures of one billion eu-ros by 2017. In addition to reducing in-vestments and improving performance in purchasing, AREVA aims to reduce its labor costs by approximate-ly 15% in France and 18% in total internationally. Achiev-ing this objective will in-volve several measures: em-ployment, compensation, production organization and

work time. The precise im-pact on employment will be the subject of discussions with labor organizations and will depend on the savings achieved by each of the oth-er measures. AREVA has already an-nounced measures concern-ing reduction in overhead costs and compensation, such as the profit-sharing program or short-term in-centives, in order to limit the impact on employment. In any case, the manage-ment is committed to doing everything possible to en-sure that any workforce op-timization will be done on a voluntary basis. In order to conduct an in-depth social dialogue with the labor organizations at all levels of the company, con-sultations will take place at the group level, within the various entities and then at the site level.

This first stage of negotia-tions should take place dur-ing May and June. It will be followed by an information-consultation phase with the relevant labor organizations. “AREVA must begin im-mediately with its compe-tiveness plan. Whatever may be the options chosen to im-plement the strategic road-map and define the financ-ing plan, it is urgent to take the necessary measures to adapt the costs of our busi-ness to the reality of its mar-kets. I recognize the efforts that are being asked of em-ployees. This consultation aims to jointly build the best solutions to maintain our ex-pertise and industrial em-ployment. During this trans-formation period, safety and security remain, now more than ever, the highest pri-ority for everyone,” said Philippe Knoche, chief exec-utive officer of AREVA.

It’s only May, and so far 2015 has been a banner year for Agrium on the Ac-colades and Awards front. We’ve been named one of Canada’s Top 100 Employ-ers, one of the 50 Most En-gaged Workplaces in North America, a Top Diversity Employer, and now we can add one of Canada’s Top Em-ployers for Young People to that list. For the third year in a row, Mediacorp has recog-nized Agrium as a Top Em-ployer for Young People. Now in its 13th year, this is an award that recognizes the nation’s leaders when it comes to attracting and re-taining younger workers. Employers are evaluated primarily on how they grow their employees through training, mentorship, and career management pro-grams; since Agrium has won this award three times in a row, we must be doing something right.

Agrium is a Top Employer for Young People This award recognizes the nation’s leaders when it comes to attracting and re-taining younger workers. Attracting dynamic young talent is fundamental to Agrium’s future competi-tiveness, says Mike Webb, Senior Vice-President, Hu-man Resources. “There are a lot of things happening in terms of innovation and technology, and the young-er generation really gets that. If we’re not bringing in young people, then we run some significant risks to the commercial success of our business.” Agrium was recognized for our many initiatives for young employees including: Paid internships for co-op students and new grads; Two-year rotational pro-gram for new graduates; Company supported train-ing/apprenticeships for tradespeople; Tuition reim-bursement for employees in-terested in further educa-

tion The Young Profession-als Network (YPN) for em-ployees up to age 35 helps its members communicate and collaborate across different business units to build their own networks and business knowledge The YPN focuses on net-working, business knowl-edge and community in-volvement, to help Agrium’s younger employees com-municate and collaborate across different business units, and the Agrium Di-versity Inclusion Council fully supports these efforts. Other key programs tar-geted towards inspiring young people include: our internships and summer student programs, the Engi-neer-in-Training program, Marketers-in-Training, and a six-month agronomy pro-gram in partnership with Purdue University, which boasts one of the world’s top agronomy programs.

high school golf competitionSome of the best young golfers in the province were at the Legends Golf Course on Tuesday, May 12, as Warman High School hosted their fourth Annual Golf Tournament. (Above) A com-petitor throws up sand as he extricates his ball from the bunker during the tournament. Jus-tin Laskowski of Valley Christian Academy in Osler (lower left photo being congratulated by touranment organizer Blaine Donauer) had a strong tournament, winning the “closest to the hole” event when he placed his iron shot inches from the 14th hole, a Par 3 hole. Laskows-ki had an eagle on the previous hole, which helped him earn big points towards a 72 point to-tal in the modified Stableford scoring system. This tied him for the best round of the day, and he was awarded second place under the tie-breaker system. The Prince Albert Carlton High School (top right) won the team event, while St. Joe’s High School in Saskatoon placed second in the team event.

By JAmes [email protected] Three ball hockey players from Warman and Martens-ville will get the opportuni-ty to test their skills against the rest of Western Canada when they compete in the Canadian Ball Hockey Asso-ciation’s Western Challenge Cup July 16-19 in Surrey, British Columbia. Logan Suter and Austin Underwood are the athletes from Warman that will be participating. Dakota Whi-teside will be representing Martensville. All three players play Bantam Tier II hock-ey in Warman and Mar-tensville. During the sum-mer ball hockey season the trio also play for teams in the Saskatoon Ball Hockey League. Brennan Hall, who will be coaching the U15 Team Saskatchewan Ball Hock-ey Team, said all three kids are pretty excited to repre-sent their province. “They were really excited. When they found out they made the elite squad for ball hockey they were pleased,” said Hall. “Austin’s older brother did it last year. Aus-tin tagged along and knows what the experience is like but he has never played in it so he is excited that he gets his turn now.” Hall said Suter has every-thing a coach would want in a forward. “He will go out every shift, forecheck hard, make oppos-ing defences look silly and put the ball in the net,” said Hall. “When it goes the oth-er way he will rush back and check as hard as he can, pick it up, turn it around and break it out again.” Hall described Underwood as a defensive-minded defen-seman who likes to handle the ball a lot and is smart in his own end. “He’s got great hockey smarts, knows where to put

the ball when needed and if you ever need a little boost from your back-end he will be the guy who will wield the ball from one side to the other to try and set up some-thing,” he said. Hall described Whiteside as a quick and talented little forward. “He has a lot of hockey smarts, has a lot of experi-ence behind him and knows where to be at the right time.” Hall, who is coaching Team Saskatchewan for the first time in the tourna-ment, said he has high ex-pectations for his squad. “We look pretty good. We have four forward lines that

I trust out there going into the tournament,” said Hall. “I would say there is a lot of depth on our team and a lot of depth on our back-end as well. We could have any pairing out there” The added bonus of play-ing in the tournament is the chance for players to be seenby scouts for the World Ju-nior Canada Ball Hockey team, which Hall said all three players have the po-tential of playing on. “It doesn’t matter if you are on a winning team dur-ing the Western Challenge Cup or not. If you have a skill that they think fits their team they will pick you,” said Hall.

By JAMES [email protected] Warman residents will be able to watch some of the best softball players in the world when the city hosts four World Senior Men’s ex-hibition games in June. On June 22 Great Britain will take on the Netherlands in a double-header and on June 23 Denmark will chal-lenge the Saskatoon Dia-mondbacks in a double-header at Prairie Oasis Park softball field. The exhibition games will serve as preparation for world senior men’s teams competing in the 2015 Inter-national Softball Federation (ISF) Men’s World Softball Championship in Saskatoon, June 26 to July 5. Exhibition games will also be held in Delisle, Saskatoon, Prince Albert and Rosetown. This is the first time the City of Warman and Warman Minor Softball have hosted World Senior Men’s Softball teams. The New Zealand World Junior Men’s team did play an ex-hibition game in Warman in the recent past. Jason Schmiedge, Presi-

dent of Warman Minor Soft-ball, said part of the reason why Warman was asked to host the exhibition games stems from the growth of the sport in Warman, Mar-tensville and surrounding communities. “The softball communi-ty has realized that our as-sociation numbers have grown really well in the last few years,” said Schmiedge. “Registrations for Saskatoon Minor Softball are down 15 per cent this year while we are up 30 percent.” In terms of actual regis-tration numbers, Schmiedge said a few years ago they were at 65 while requests this year have jumped to 275. “I think a reason for the growth in numbers is be-cause we have a number of coaches who are passionate about softball and who want to make the sport grow,” he said. Schmiedge said he would like to have between 500 and 1000 people attend the exhi-bition games. “I think there is a lot of in-terest out there already, es-pecially with these coun-tries that are coming: Great

Britain, the Netherlands and Denmark. That is pret-ty neat to get some teams that we wouldn’t see for a long time,” said Schmiedge. “I’ve talked with the City of Warman’s Recreation and Community Services Man-ager Paul McGonigal and they are planning to get any bleachers out there they can and they are going to adver-tise the games because they think it is a great draw.” The only problems to be worked out in hosting the games is what do about out-field fencing for Prairie Oa-sis ball field, whether or not to have a fenced-off gate for admission and parking. Schmiedge said he is working with the City to re-solve these issues. “We think we may need parking attendants to direct people and figure out where we can put them all. It’s def-initely going to be an issue,” said Schmiedge “At this point we are not thinking about charging admission. We might go around and ask people to make a donation. The Prairie Oasis ball dia-monds do not have perime-ter fencing to hold gate ad-mission.”

By BRENDA ERICKSONPSSD Communications Prairie Spirit School Divi-sion’s (PSSD) Annual Gen-eral Meeting focused on supporting student achieve-ment and developing learn-ers for life. The meeting, held at Waldheim School on Wednesday, April 29, includ-ed reports from the Board of Education, the Director of Education and the Chief Financial Officer. In ad-dition, school teams from Hague Elementary School and Waldheim School made presentations highlighting their learning improvementplans. PSSD Board Chair, Lar-ry Pavloff, provided the Board’s report and made comments about both the work of the Board and the success of the Division’s staff and students. “Our work as a Board of Education is all about our students. “We make decisions, set strategic directions and cre-ate policy, all designed to support student learning as our highest priority,” Pav-loff said. Pavloff thanked Prairie Spirit staff for the variety of ways they support student learning throughout the Division. Pavloff also addressed the school division’s current fi-nancial funding shortfall of $7 million for 2015/16, a re-sult of the new provincial education funding model, in place since 2012. “Although the provincial government has provided some additional funds to Prairie Spirit in each bud-get since 2012, the funding does not keep pace with ris-ing costs and growing enrol-ments,” Pavloff explained.Throughout 2013/14, sig-nificant programming and staffing reductions of ap-proximately $2 million were made. In addition, the Board used $3 million in limit-ed reserve funds to balance the 2014/15 budget, with the assurance from the Minis-try that the funding model would be adjusted to correctsignificant inequities. “As a Board, we take our role as an advocate for our

students very seriously,” Pavloff said. “Perhaps this role as advocate has nev-er been as important as it is now, with the school divi-sion facing significant fund-ing shortfalls.” Jim Shields, Chief Finan-cial Officer, provided an overview of the 2013/14 fis-cal year. Instruction costs accounted for 69 per cent of the Division’s overall ex-penses, with plant expenses at 15 per cent and transpor-tation costs at 8 per cent. Director of Education, John Kuzbik, commented on the Board’s strategic learn-ing goals, which align very well with the recently estab-lished provincial education sector plan. “As a school division, we are successful because of parent, staff and community support,” Kuzbik said. “We are in difficult financial times, but what remains of primary importance is our focus on student andadult learning.”

School reportSHague Elementary is in its third year of a reading com-prehension goal. A team from the school described the various ways that this goal is being accomplished, including using the Read-er’s Workshop model. Hague Elementary staff members are creating a culture of professional learning at the school, including reading the book No More Indepen-dent Reading Without Sup-port as part of a staff book club. “I see our story as a suc-cess story,” said Tracey Young, Hague Elementary Principal. “Our staff mem-bers have embraced the role of lifelong learner. They have examined a variety of research, examined their own practices and consult-ed and collaborated with others. As professionals, we will always work to get bet-ter; learning is our work.”Chris Mason, Principal of Waldheim School, de-scribed the dedication of his staff to adult and stu-dent learning. At the begin-ning of the school year, the

staff worked together to de-velop a clear understanding of what matters in a class-room where optimal learn-ing is occurring. “This al-lowed us to take an in-depth look at the My Prairie Spir-it Classroom document and align our thinking,” Mason said. The school is working on improving the school en-vironment to make it more inviting. Reg Pauls, Vice-Principal, described the school’s focus on engaging students in the learning process. The school is usingstudent survey data to guide the work of the staff and to give students a voice. “We are excited to see where our journey takes us over the next number of years,” said Pauls. Wald-heim School is using the Reader’s Workshop philoso-phy as it gives students the opportunity to engage in and take ownership of their own learning.

School preSentationS at May 4 Board Meeting Blaine Lake School and Martensville High School

Crissy Sutherland and Der-ek Zacharias, administra-tors at Blaine Lake Compos-ite School and Brad Nichol and Peggy Mattila-Bains, the administrative team from Martensville High School, joined the Board meeting on Monday, May 4.Blaine Lake Composite School has approximate-ly 150 students in Kinder-garten through Grade 12. The school has been chosen by the Ministry to partici-pate in a three-year initia-tive called Following Their Voices.“ Following Their Voices has a focus on First Nations and Métis students, but this approach is basically how all students learn,” said Sutherland. The school is exploring more effective ways of re-porting student achievement to parents and is working with the school division’s assessment residency this year. The school is also working with neighbouring communities to share best practices. “I believe you are leading the province in the

work you are doing,” said Trustee Pam Wieler. Martensville High School (MHS) is in the midst of an expansion and renova-tion building project. The school’s theme forthe year has been “Build on!” To accommodate the construction schedule, the school has been on an alter-nate calendar throughout 2014/15 and students will complete the school year on June 5. MHS has almost 400 students in Grades 9 through 12. MHS participated in the school division’s assessment residency last year and is using this year to build on that work. Nichol highlight-ed student involvement in Skills Canada competitions this year and noted that en-rolment in Practical and Ap-plied Arts classes is grow-ing. “There are many great things happening at Mar-tensville High School,” said Trustee Bonnie Hope.

Board approveS gSa guiding docuMent

At its meeting on April 27, the Board received and ac-cepted the Prairie Spirit School Division: Safe, Car-ing and Accepting Schools Supporting Gender and Sex-ual Diversity document as presented by Administra-tion. The document provides guidelines for schools to fol-low when establishing a Gay-Straight Alliance. Prairie Spirit School Divi-sion is committed to estab-lishing and maintaining a safe, equitable and welcom-ing learning and\ teaching environment for all mem-bers of the learningcommunity.

City of Warman urges residents to get active during month of JuneBy TERRY [email protected] The City of Warman has proclaimed June as “Parks and Recreation Month.” Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence signed the proclama-tion on Wednesday, May 13. The month of June is be-ing promoted province-wide as a time to “enjoy the out-doors and take some time to play,” said Warman Rec-reation and Community Events Supervisor Coralie Bueckert. “It’s a great op-portunity to get out and ex-plore our urban parks and enjoy our green spaces.” Warman has 13 named parks spread throughout the community, said Bueckert. “We’re fortunate that no one is more than four or five blocks from a park of some

kind,” she said. “There are also many kilometers of walking and biking trails through these parks.” Bueckert said recreation is not just about “structured and supervised” activity. It’s also about just cutting loose with your kids and taking time to play and spend time together as a family. The city has designat-ed Wednesday, May 20 as “Spring Fling in the Park” day, with a hot dog barbe-cue, bouncy castles and oth-er family activities in Rick Unger Park in the Legends neighbourhood. June 21, the longest day of the year, has also been de-clared as the “longest day of play,” and the city is hold-ing a competition to log the ways that residents spend

By JAMES [email protected] Saskatoon Regional Eco-nomic Development Author-ity President and CEO Alex Fallon said a lot of com-panies are taking a “wait and see” approach when it comes to their future invest-ment plans in Alberta. The election of a NDP ma-jority government in Alber-ta almost seems like a bad dream for the former Pro-gressive Conservatives after being in elected office in the province for 43 years. Fallon said it will be inter-esting to see what develops. “We don’t have a fore-cast or estimate for how the NDP will manage things so it will be interesting to see how that transpires. We def-initely do expect some Al-berta companies will take a closer look at Saskatche-wan,” Fallon. “A lot of them

already have been but this may increase some of them to take a closer look. Not saying they would pull out of Alberta completely. It may be more about diversifi-cation and expansion.” Fallon was recently in Vancouver and Calgary as part of a three-day business and investment attraction mission. The emphasis was on promoting the Saskatoon region to businesses and in-vestors in Alberta and Brit-ish Columbia as part of SREDA’s mandate to help grow the local economy. From May 6 to 8 Fallon met with 24 companies and organizations interested in investing in the Saskatoon region. The interested parties rep-resented a range of indus-tries, including manufac-turing, oil and gas, mining, retail and farm equipment.

With NDP Alberta’s man-date during their election platform to raise corporate taxes and install a royalty review for companies, Fal-lon said the concern has come up with companies he has met with. “When you put it all to-gether it creates a certain amount of uncertainty and when you have that uncer-tainty companies look for other options and other op-portunities. I think that is what we are seeing in Alber-ta,” said Fallon. Despite the outcome of re-cent political developments

Investors ponder options in Alberta: SREDA Presidentin Alberta, Fallon said it won’t stop the flow of devel-opers wanting to invest in the City of Saskatoon and region. “I think a lot of companies have been looking at the Saskatoon Regional Area for awhile. A lot of companies are involved in the infra-structure work we have to do and companies that are not involved yet are keep-ing an eye on the growth and are trying to determine if they want to participate in that kind of opportunity,” said Fallon.

Health Minister Dustin Duncan has reinforced govern-ment’s commitment to providing safe, high quality care for seniors, accepting the Saskatchewan’s Ombudsman’s report Taking Care: An Ombudsman investigation into the care provided to Margaret Warholm while a resident of the San-ta Maria Senior Citizens Home. On November 19, 2014, Duncan requested the Ombuds-man conduct an investigation into care at the Santa Maria Senior Citizens Home. The Ombudsman’s report, released on May 13, makes 19 recommendations. Four recommen-dations are focused more broadly on improvements to the long-term care system in Saskatchewan. The Ministry of Health and health regions are monitoring seven quality in-dicators in long-term care to better identify and address po-tential resident care issues. A 13 per cent increase in the number of long-term care FTEs across the province since 2007.

Senior care proposals to be implemented: Duncan

Ticks are out from early spring until early October, particularly in tall grass, brush or wood-ed areas. “It’s wise to take simple precautions before being outside in grassy, bushy or treed areas, and check your-self and your children and pets for ticks afterwards,” Saskatchewan’s Chief Medi-cal Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “If any ticks are found, they should be carefully and promptly re-moved.” Precautionary measures include the following: Wear pants, long-sleeved shirts and shoes that don’t show your feet.

Pull socks over your pant legs to prevent ticks from crawling up your legs. Wear light-coloured clothes so ticks can be seen easily. Use insect repellents that contain DEET or Icaridin. Apply repellent to clothes as well as your skin. Always read and follow the direc-tions. Shower or bathe within two hours of being outside to wash off loose ticks. Do “full body” tick checks daily on yourself, your chil-dren and pets. In Saskatchewan, the chance of people being ex-posed to Lyme disease from a tick bite is very low, though not zero. Over the past ten years, three cases of Lyme disease have been

Take precautions during tick seasonreported through the prov-ince’s surveillance system. Two were acquired outside of Canada, and one likely originated within the prov-ince. “Most ticks found in Sas-katchewan are not the type that can transmit Lyme dis-ease,” Entomologist Phil Curry said. “Less than half a per cent of ticks found here are the blacklegged or deer ticks, and only a small percentage of those may be infected.” The risk of acquiring Lyme disease is evolving across the prairies. The risk increases in those ar-eas of southern Canada and the U.S. where there are es-tablished populations of the tick that transmits Lyme disease.

Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty opened a new exhibit at the Royal Saskatchewan Muse-um (RSM) titled “Insects, Flowers and Food.” Flowering plants and in-sect pollinators, mainly bees, play important roles in producing much of the

food consumed by humans worldwide. Bees pollinate a large number of flowering plants—food sources that humans and other animals rely on. Visitors to the RSM’s lat-est exhibit can explore the relationships between plants and pollinators from

the time dinosaurs roamed Saskatchewan to the pres-ent day. The exhibit will be on display at the RSM until the fall of 2015. A new exhib-it will replace it at that time and the pollination exhibit will start touring the prov-ince as part of the RSM’s travelling exhibit program.

By JAMES [email protected] Students at Aberdeen Composite School learned that age doesn’t really mat-ter when it comes to making the world a better place. It was that reason alone which proved to be the in-spiration for the school’s GEM social justice group. The GEM group is com-prises of about 20 Grade 6 to 12 students. GEM stands for Girls Everywhere Matter. The group meets once a month throughout the school year, said teacher Kelli White. “We get together and we learn about girls issues and what girls have to deal with all over the world,” said White. “We also work to de-velop positive relationships with each other. We talk about bullying, puberty and things that are unique to be-ing a girl.” GEM is also affiliated with the British Columbia-based charity, Little Women for Little Women in Afghan-istan. The main focus for the

charity is improving living situations and education-al opportunities for women and girls in Afghanistan. Human rights violations became rampant when the Taliban took over Afghani-stan. Women and girls were prohibited from going out in public, receiving medical at-tention, or attending school. In nine years the Little Women for Little Women charity has raised $500,000 for women and girls in Af-ghanistan. The funds go to-wards teachers’ salaries, training, library projects, school supplies and science kits. The charity originated in Lake Country, B.C. and has expanded to include branch-es in Banff and Toronto. GEM members asked Alai-na Podmorow, the found-er of Little Women for Lit-tle Women in Afghanistan, to visit the school during a GEM gala on Thursday, May 14 to talk about how she made her charity a reality. Podmorow was only nine-years old when she start-ed the charity. She was in-

spired by journalist, author and human rights activist Sally Armstrong, who told her about the plight of wom-en in Afghanistan “I knew I had to do some-thing and I did. I took action and nine years later I am here,” said Podmorrow. Now 18 years of age, Pod-morow has plans to attend university in the fall. But she also intends to continue to fight for equality and hu-man rights. White said Podmorow is an inspiration to GEM mem-bers because her example shows that one person can make a difference. “Part of the proceeds from the gala go to helping our GEM club. It buys shirts and helps us do activities. We annually try to raise $750 a year because it helps fund a teacher for a year in Af-ghanistan. So that is part of out commitment to Little Women for Little Women,” said White. White said GEM also pro-vides an incredible sense of belonging for students. “It builds relationships

among them and when you bring girls together to help others it builds confidence and they build relationships because they see how they can play a role in making the world a more positive place.” Social justice issues are nothing new for students at Aberdeen Composite School. The school is also involved in fundraising for Free the Children, Saskatoon Interval House and the Saskatoon Food Bank. Podmorow said the great-est reward was seeing her educational funding projects in person when she visited Afghaniston in 2012. “It is pretty cliché to say it was life-changing but it re-ally was. Seeing the girls in school, and seeing their fac-es light up as they are read-ing and writing it totally so-lidifies why we do what we do,” said Podmorrow. “It also fires up that pas-sion to keep on because we are making a difference and seeing a difference. It is re-ally amazing and we have to keep on with that.”

Martensville’s Newest Lake Community

By JAMES [email protected] Saskatchewan Aviation Historical Society (SAHS) members put their shovels in the ground this week to launch construction of their new Aviation Museum and Learning Center. The location of the $5 million building on 2127 Koyl Avenue (close to the Saskatoon Airport) will hold about 12 vintage aircraft on a rotational basis along with displays detailing the histo-ry of flight in the province. SAHS Executive Dirctor Tim Munro said the process of building the facility be-gan when the society was formed in 2006. “We aviation in the prov-ince and educate peo-ple about where it started, where it is headed and what has gone on in between,” said Munro. Munro said the society currently has about 25 air-planes ranging from crop sprayers to military air-craft. One reason why Saskatoon was chosen as the site of the museum is because it is first location in the province where an airplane took off and landed. “Most people don’t real-ize that the first airplane to fly in Saskatchewan was on May 17 in 1911 and it flew out of the exhibition grounds in Saskatoon. The Wright Brothers did their inaugural flight in 1901.” Munro also said Saskatch-ewan pilots and residents also had a significant part to play in the British Com-monwealth Air Training Plan. “Saskatchewan played a major role in the training of pilots in WW II all over the province. As a result, that opened up 30 airports in the province for training and a lot of those runways were converted to community air-ports after the war,” said Munro. Munro said aircraft also

played a role in connecting remote northern Saskatche-wan communities. “Aircraft made a huge dif-ference in mining and sur-veying, even in communi-ties carrying supplies to northern people,” said Mun-ro. “Howdy McPhail’s Air Service based out of North

Battleford in the 50s and 60s had one of the largest crop spraying services in all of Western Canada.” It is great feeling to finally reach this milestone for the society, said Munro. “It is exciting. I am look-ing forward to it and so are our board and members.

They have been working hard for this facility to hap-pen, and now that it is here it definitely brings smiles to their faces when you start talking about it and the fu-ture of it because it’s good for tourism, for schools and education. It is something that is needed.”

The Government of Saskatchewan has pro-claimed the first Saturday of every month as Buy Lo-cal Day. The intent of the proclamation is to encour-age provincial consum-ers to shop local – there-by supporting businesses and jobs in communities across the province. “Local businesses con-tribute a great deal to our communities and are the

foundation of our pro-vincial economy,” Immi-gration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “By keep-ing taxes low, balancing budgets and reducing red tape, our government is ensuring that local busi-nesses are able to grow, create jobs and continue to offer quality goods and services to Saskatchewan people.”

“We welcome the Buy Local proclamation and believe it is a terrific way to recognize and support the thousands of hard-working entrepreneurs and small business own-ers who do so much to add to our local neighbour-hoods and economies,” Canadian Federation of Independent Business Vice-President, Prairie and Agri-business Mari-

lyn Braun-Pollon said. Small businesses ac-count for 98 per cent of all enterprises in Saskatch-ewan employing nearly 150,000 people, or 31.7 per cent, of Saskatchewan’s workers. The Government of Saskatchewan is dedi-cated to support entrepre-neurs and small business-es in Saskatchewan, and to create a positive busi-ness climate with initia-

tives such as reducing the Small Business Income Tax rate. “Local patronage is es-sential for entrepreneurs,” NWL Contemporary Dresses owner and Regi-na and District Chamber of Commerce Board Chair Nadia Williamson said. “If we hadn’t received solid support from Regi-na and area, we wouldn’t have grown as success-

fully as we have. The Buy Local proclamation is a great reminder that the quality and variety of unique and independent operations in communi-ties is reliant on local sup-port. It’s great to see the government moving this forward to support local businesses all over Sas-katchewan.” The first Sat-urday to be proclaimed Buy Local Day is June 6.
