By JAMES [email protected] Dundurn’s Sunshine Meadows development got the go ahead from the Min-istry of Highways and In-frastructure to move onto Phase 2 of their residential and mixed commercial sub-division. The 90-acre development announced in September, 2014 includes 302 single fam-ily homes, a lake, hiking paths and land for a civic centre and rink. The development has the potential of increasing the town’s population from 680 to 1,500 when the develop-ment is complete. Carman Dodman, one of the subdivision develop-ers and owners of DDD Con-struction in Warman, said he is happy to see the devel-opment move forward, but realizes there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. Currently he said the de-velopment is still in Phase 1 in terms of development progress. “The lots are temporary pinned right now just for

earth works. In late Septem-ber or early October we will have the land titles and lots ready for sale,” said Dod-man. “Sewer and water will probably take a week to ten days, so once we get that in we can define our roads and get them up to grade. We are still hoping by mid to late October to put in ten houses. The development already has its sprinkler, irrigation and lake almost dug out. Dodman said he is hop-ing to have ten homes build by the end of this years con-struction season and have 35 built by next October. Within the development 4.17 hectares has been des-ignated for commercial use and another 6 acres has been deeded to the Town of Dundurn for future recre-ation facilities and new mu-nicipal offices. Dodman said the com-mercial part of the develop-ment will depend on their progress and what services the town decides is needed there, said Dodman. A civic centre and rink is something the town needs

but ideas about possibly add-ing a grocery store and strip mall are still be debated. In early July developers and the town were forced to shift their focus on the proj-ect when the Ministry of Highways and Infrastruc-ture informed them that the layout of the development’s original plan would have to be modified to accommodate a future control circle inter-change. Steve Shasheen communi-cations for the MHI said the size of a control circle is de-pendent on the size of the in-terchange, which is based on the traffic volumes it is expected to carry. Shasheen added that inter-changes today require con-trol circles ranging from about a 500 to 800 metre ra-dious. Annette Hamilton, Deputy Mayor for the Town of Dun-durn said there should have been better communication between the MHI, town, de-velopers and landowners. “They didn’t do a whole lot of research ahead on time on where it might go or if

Dundurn residential development receives Phase 2 approval

By JAMES [email protected] Warman and Rosthern Veterinary Clinics want to advise the public about a couple of rabid bat discov-eries reported in the Rural Municipalities of Corman Park and Laird last week. John Ayres, Veterinari-an and one of the manag-ing partners of both clinics said while the cases have been low pet owners should be aware so they can pro-tect their animals and themselves. Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain and symptoms can range from fever, in-

creased aggression, uncon-trolled excitement, fear of water, the inability to move parts of the body, confu-sion and loss of conscious-ness. Ayres said the simplist way for pet owners to pro-tect their animals from the deadly disease is through vaccination. “Right now making sure your companion ani-mals including cats, dogs even horses are vaccinat-ed against rabies. The vac-cine itself is very effective at preventing the disease,” said Ayres. “The big thing about rabies is there is no treatment once symp-

toms appear and no specific treatment to fix it. In most cases it is almost univer-sally fatal so it’s a big deal. It is also a viral disease that is fatal if it is passed on to humans, said Ayres. “If a human gets exposed to rabies it is though an an-imal. It is not from another human so we should try to make use of some common sense when approaching animals. If you see a wild animal acting abnormally. In most cases the general rule of thumb is not to ap-proach them.” Ayres said for people who notice abnormal rabid be-havior in wild animals con-

there is an alternative area,” said Hamilton We questioned the research time MHI put into this. We submitted a plan to com-munity planning and all of a sudden there is a control circle there. We felt a little trapped.” As a result commercial and town infrastructure de-velopment for the project will be put on hold for now. “We had intentions of building a rink on Phase 1,” said Hamilton. “We have to look to see where else we can built it because it threw us all in a little bit of a tum-ble.” Hamilton said she is hap-py the Sunshine Meadows development has moved into Phase 2. The subdivision itself will be constructed in three phases. Dodman said Phase 1 and 2 of the project could take two to three years be-fore the final phase is com-pleted. Sunshine Meadows is the first residential development to be built in Dundurn in over 10 years.

tacting a wildlife officer is usually the best route be-cause they have more re-sources to deal with the problem. On average Ayres said the clinic usually see’s a couple of reported rabies cases a year. He said aware-ness is never used to alarm or people but to allow peo-ple to take the time to take the necessary precautions. “It can show up in real-ly odd places and I guess because the stakes are so high that is why we make a big deal about it,” said Ayres. “Even if the incident isn’t very high if we are wrong one time it came be very, very bad.”

Enrolment rises at Warman, Martensville High SchoolsBy TERRY [email protected] The two largest high schools in Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) are getting even bigger. Both Warman High School (WHS) and Martensville High School (MHS) experi-enced larger-than-projected student enrolment increas-es this fall, according to the principals of those institu-tions.

WARMAN ENROLMENT “So far we have regis-tered 36 new kids,” said WHS Principal Michael Col-lins in an interview on Au-

gust 28, just prior to the start of the school year. “So we still have to get through the opening couple of weeks. In the end I wouldn’t be sur-prised if we have 50 new kids that start with us this year.” Collins said the total en-rolment at the school will likely be “somewhere around 760 students” at the beginning, and could rise as high as 775 by the end of the school year. “That’s creeping up to the 800 mark,” said Collins. “A few years ago, when we were a 6-12 school, before the middle school was built,

we had a total registration of 850; and we’re starting to get back into that range again.” Next year, after the new el-ementary school in Warman opens, WHS will go to being a 9-12 school.

MARTENSVILLE UP Enrolment is also up at MHS, according to Principal Brad Nichol. In an interview August 31, Nichol said the initial enrolment numbers during the first week are at 430 students. “We projected about 415 students, so we are over what we had predicted,”

said Nichol. PSSD will release its offi-cial enrolment numbers at the end of September for all schools in the division.

MHS ON THE MOVE MHS has adopted “On the Move” as its theme for the year. The students and staff will be putting in the first few weeks of the school year in the existing building until the new portion of the high school is completed. Then everyone will move into the new building and renova-tions on the old part of the school will begin, he said.

By TERRY [email protected] Acceleration lanes are currently being constructed on both the southbound and northbound lanes of High-way 11 at the intersection with Township Road 382. The on-ramps and accel-eration lanes are designed to improve traffic flow for transport trucks enter-ing the highway from the Corman Industrial Park. The improvements, along with two other projects that involve grading and pav-ing a section of Highway 305

east of Dalmeny; and pav-ing a service road on the east side of Highway 12, will cost $2.8 million. Construc-tion of all these projects is expected to be completed by mid-September. Twinning of Highway 7 west of Saskatoon near Vanscoy is also ongoing this fall. A total of nine kilome-ters of the highway is cur-rently being graded at a cost of $10.4 million, according to the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure. The grading portion of the proj-ect will wrap up this fall.

Highway 11 acceleration lanes, Highway 305 paving on track for completionPaving will take place in 2016. Grading work is also un-derway east of Saskatoon, as construction crews work on twinning 19 kilome-ters of Highway 16 between Saskatoon and Clavet up to the Bradwell access road. The grading portion is set to be completed this fall and paving will take place next year. The Highway 16 over-pass over Idylwyld Drive in Saskatoon is nearing com-pletion. The $2.7 million bridge rehabilitation project

has a target date of October 15 to be reopened to traffic. The provincial Ministry of Highways and Infrastruc-ture currently has $250 mil-lion worth of projects im-proving highways, bridges, culverts, and an airport un-derway across the province. Travellers are asked to watch for bridge replace-ments on Highway 3 near Hudson Bay and Highway 165 near Beauval. Large maintenance projects near Chaplin and Balgonie on Highway 1 are now finished. A paving project is also

complete on Highway 40 near Blaine Lake. To navigate this work, drivers are reminded to check the Highway Hotline for up-to-date road informa-tion. Clicking on the icons located along your route will provide detailed infor-mation about the project and notify you of local de-tours. The weekly construction update provides Saskatche-wan residents with the lat-est details on projects un-derway to help plan safe and efficient travel throughout

the summer and fall. Additional travel informa-tion about emergency road closures, the status of fer-ries, barges, and other road activities can also be found on the Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/live/transportation/high-way-hotline. It’s also avail-able by calling 306-787-7623 in Regina, 306-933-8333 in Saskatoon and toll-free across Canada at 1-888-335-7623. Drivers are reminded to observe posted speed limits in construction zones.

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSINGGAZETTE

Construction crews work on building an acceleration lane on Highway 11 north of the intersection with Township Road 382

“The construction is ac-tually on schedule,” said Nichol. “When the academic year ended back in June, ev-eryone knew that we would be returning to this build-ing in the fall, so it’s not a surprise. And it’s not like the situation that was fac-ing Warman Middle School, where that building abso-lutely had to be ready for the first day of school. This is a different situation, and we fully expected to be in this location for another month and a half or so in the fall until we transition over to the new facility.” Nichol said the renova-

tions to the older building will be welcome, as gymna-sium facilities are in short supply despite the use of the Martensville Athletic Pavil-ion. “We’re looking forward to having our old gym ren-ovate and ready to go, and that should be ready next year,” he said. The MHS football team’s clubhouse, which had to be moved because of the con-struction of the new build-ing, is also back in service this fall, noted Nichol.

“That’s a real relief for both the team and the school,” he said. Nichol said MHS is intro-ducing some new academ-ic programs this year, in-cluding a revamped sciences curriculum, specialized cooking and textiles cours-es, and a new career appren-ticeship program that gives students high school cred-its, pay for work done on the job, and also credit towards a future post-secondary ap-prenticeship program. The school is also launch-ing a new theatre arts pro-gram that includes cred-it for stage design, costume design and lighting. The school’s drama club is gear-ing up to perform the classic play, “The Crucible” in its

new theatre facility Febru-ary 3-6, 2016.

WHS ADVANCED COURSES Warman High School is offering several advanced courses, according to Col-lins. “We are continuing to of-fer our advanced place-ment calculus and advanced placement studio art,” he said. “WHS is probably one of the top two advanced placement calculus schools in the province, along with Centennial Collegiate in Saskatoon. In terms of suc-cess for kids, it really sets up those students who are looking to go to university, especially in the math and sciences area. They’re real-ly well-prepared when they

come out of that program.” WHS is also offering an outdoor education program for the second year in a row, which provides students with credits in biology, en-vironmental science or well-ness. “We get over 30 kids a se-mester in that program,” said Collins. “It’s very popu-lar.” Athletically, the school has a strong volleyball pro-gram, with a total of six girls volleyball teams this year. “We have three se-nior teams and three ju-nior teams,” said Collins. “They’re all tiered, so pretty much anyone who wants to play volleyball can play vol-leyball.”

On September 1, approx-imately 365 full-time post-secondary and Adult Basic Education students attended orientation day at six Great Plains College locations throughout southwest and west-central Saskatchewan. “Orientation day is an ex-citing event at each of our locations,” said Carrie Voy-sey, Great Plains College di-rector of communications and student services. “This is the day we see the high-est influx of students, many of them just starting their post-secondary education. We would also like to wel-come back our returning students.” College wide, the majori-ty of 2015-16 full-time post-secondary programs have reached their enrolment limits. Overall, 2015-16 full-time enrolments are on par with the three-year average. Additional students will at-tend Great Plains College as new part-time programs are launched in 2015-16 and stu-dents enrol in full-time con-tinuous intake programs such as Administrative As-

sistant and Pre-12 Adult Ba-sic Education. In response to the demand for program changes and di-versification, Great Plains has launched and expand-ed five programs in 2015-16. Each have been well re-ceived by students on the various campuses. “Great Plains College is dedicated to its mission of building careers, partner-ships and communities. This mission is exemplified, in part, by the delivery of new programs in response to community needs and student demand,” said David Keast, Great Plains College president. At the Rosetown Program Centre, the part-time Prima-ry Care Paramedic program will be offered beginning in November. The industry-rec-ognized program is fully ac-credited by the Canadian Medical Association. On Warman Campus, the college has recently intro-duced two new programs. The Business certificate stu-dents began their courses on September 1. The Certifi-

cate in Management Essen-tials, a part-time 16-week program that provides prac-tical and theoretical train-ing to aspiring managers in the trades and industry, will be launched on September 11. Both of these programs have been met with very strong student interest and enrolment. Furthermore, Warman is once again offering the part-time, weekend-based, Master of Business Admin-istration in Community Economic Development. The next cohort will begin in January 2016. Great Plains College con-tinues to help meet in-creased demand for skilled

Great Plains College kicks off academic yeargraduates of the Heavy Equipment Operator pro-gram. The course is sched-uled for Sept. 28 to Nov. 6 in Swift Current and will return to Warman in the spring and summer of 2016. Building upon the out-standing Welding program that has emerged in recent years, the Swift Current Campus is pleased to intro-duce a Welding Upgrader program that will allow em-ployed welders to challenge the journeyman certifica-tion.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

The Clark’s Crossing Gazette welcomes the submission of news stories, photos, letters or any other information that would be of interest to the readers of this newspaper.NEWS OR SPORTS STORIESIf you or someone you know has been involved in an event you think is newsworthy, please include your name and contact information (either a daytime telephone number and/or email address). Please send the information in a timely manner following the event and remember to include as much pertinent information as possible, in-cluding the following: 1. WHO was involved? 2. WHAT was the event? 3. WHEN and WHERE did the event occur? 4. WHY was the event important?PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPSAll the information that goes with a news story should also accompany photo(s) as above. Include the names of all the people in each photo and identify from left to right and from back to front. 1. Set your camera to the highest resolution possible. The more resolution, the better the final outcome of the photo in print. 2. Don’t be shy! Get close to your subject(s). Most photos taken with a built-in zoom lens extended will produce “grainy” images that do not reproduce well. 3. Attempt to get dynamic photos of something happening instead of just a quick snapshot. 4. “Presentation” photos typically don’t work well if there are too many people side-by-side in the frame. If there are many people in the photo, have them as close together as possible and, if needed, have the front row seated and the back row standing. 5. Remember taking a picture facing into the sun or bright light will produce poor quality images.

NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS

By TODD MACKAYCanadian Taxpayers Federation Prairie Director Saskatchewan has a few problems at the moment. Oil prices are down. Forest fires have been ferocious. Even worse: Saskatchewan has a spending problem. The Saskatchewan government announced that it’s now projecting a $292 million deficit for the year after releasing its first quarter numbers. Oil is the biggest factor with non-renewable resource revenue down by about $240 million. The wildfire bill hasn’t been finalized yet, but the early re-turn is $100 million. This quarterly report itself isn’t a reason to panic. Fi-nance Minister Kevin Doherty points out the recently an-

nounced deficit is only 2 per cent of the total bud-get. He’s committed to trim spending to make up the difference before the end of the fiscal year. The problem is this isn’t Saskatchewan’s only deficit. The Saskatchewan government is borrowing $700 million to pay for capital projects. Instead of including the entirety of that spending in its bal-anced budget calculation, the government is only including one year’s payment on a thirty-year loan. But for those who define a deficit as a bud-get that spends more money than it has, it’s an additional $700 million deficit. Add it up and Saskatchewan is now on pace to increase the provincial debt by nearly $1 billion this year. Even before oil prices finished falling and for-ests finished burning, the spending problem was becoming apparent. Saskatchewan has experienced extraor-dinary growth, but government spending has in-creased faster. In 2007-08, the Saskatchewan gov-ernment spent $11,006 per person (adjusted for inflation). By 2014-15, the province’s per capita spending had increased to $12,388. That means

that the Saskatchewan Party government is spending 12.6 per cent more per person than the previous government. Then compare the Saskatchewan government’s spend-ing to the spending in Manitoba. The Manitoba NDP’s fis-cal credibility is under constant fire. The bond rating agen-cy Moody’s has downgraded Manitoba’s credit rating. This year the Manitoba government projects a deficit of $422 million. Manitoba has no realistic plan to balance the bud-get in the foreseeable future. Despite all of that, the Saskatchewan government still spends 4.3 per cent more per capita than Manitoba’s NDP government. Even if the Saskatchewan government makes good the $292 million hole that’s appeared in the budget, the prov-ince will pay about $305 million to cover the interest on the current provincial debt. That’s hundreds of millions that will not go hire nurses or teachers; build roads or bridg-es; provide tax relief or even pay down the actual debt. It’s $305 million that is simply gone and that number will rise as the provincial debt continues to grow. The government must do what every household and small business does when things get tight. Every expenditure must be evaluated. There will be areas where the govern-ment can further reduce its footprint as it has done by al-lowing attrition to shrink the civil service. There will be other places where the government must eliminate an area of operation entirely as it did when it closed Enterprise Sas-katchewan regional offices in 2012. The Saskatchewan government needs to act quickly and decisively. There will be some tough choices, but they have to be made. And waiting will only make it harder as the de-scent into debt gets deeper.

Saskatchewan’s problems: low oil, blazing fires and overspending

It may have seemed harm-less enough; or at least it was relatively harmless as budget updates showing a $292-mil-lion deficit go. But Finance Minister Kev-in Doherty’s 2014-15 Sas-katchewan budget may be more problematic than it first seems for Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party government. This budget problem could very well reach deep into the 2016 election campaign, sig-nificantly limiting what both Wall and NDP leader Cam Broten can promise for the next four years. And while that might seem an equal problem for both sides of the political spec-trum a budget deficit; per-haps the first such acknowl-edged deficit in the past 20 years; is always a bigger po-litical problem for the gov-ernment that delivers it than the Opposition that criticizes it. Besides that, the deficit re-ality is likely far bigger than Wall at the Sask. Party is let-ting on. That said, Saskatchewan’s deficit still needs to be per-spective; both in terms of the economic reality and politics. In both regards, fortune still seems to be smiling on Wall. Politically speaking, Sas-

katchewan’s deficit was an-nounced not only the same day the ‘Riders fired both their coach and general man-ager (so you might not have even heard about the Sas-katchewan deficit until now), but also the same day that the new Alberta NDP govern-ment announced their new budget deficit numbers. By any comparison, Wall and the Sask. Party fare rather favourably. Doherty’s $292-million shortfall (well, actually, it’s still really former finance minister Ken Krawetz’s bud-get) pales in comparison with his Alberta counterpart Joe Ceci’s deficit (well, actu-ally the former Progressive Conservatives’ budget deficit) that was a whopping $5.9 bil-lion in red. While the Alberta NDP government may be able to blame this one on the former Conservative administration, its election spending commit-ments mean that province won’t see balanced books un-til 2018-19.

Clearly, Alberta is more heavily reliant on the oil and gas economy, as Wall has al-ways claimed. In fact, Ceci says his own budget (that won’t come until October af-ter the federal budget) will be in deficit because of the need to diversify that province’s economy. But this notion that poli-ticians can keep on present-ing deficit budgets and sim-ply spend their way out of a recession; something that federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau is advocating dur-ing this national campaign; is clearly a questionable strategy. That said, it’s really what the Saskatchewan Party gov-ernment is doing in this province, as well ... even if they aren’t admitting to it. Doherty also pledged upon release of his first-quarter budget update that there would be no personal or in-come taxes used to balance the budget here and that his government would cut spending while still con-tinuing to “provide vital services to Saskatchewan citizens.” But that really doesn’t seem to be what his govern-ment is doing right now. You may recall that even as oil prices were declining

last spring, the Sask. Party government budget was bor-rowing $700 million from the open market to cover infra-structure spending. Like beauty, “vital ser-vices to Saskatchewan cit-izens” might be the eyes of the beholder. Certainly, ru-ral Saskatchewan residents might see services like the Saskatchewan Transporta-tion Company (STC) buses or tax breaks on fertilizers and chemicals as more vital than city people do. But by the same token, much of that $700 million in borrowing is going towards the start of new by-pass in Regina, the football stadium in Regina and a Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon. Vital spending? Perhaps to some, but maybe not quite so vital in a year where the deficit may be approaching a billion dollars. Yes, when you add that $700 million in budget bor-rowing to the acknowledged $292-million deficit, the Sas-katchewan 2014-15 budget’s real deficit approaches a bil-lion dollars. Like Alberta’s NDP, Brad Wall’s government seems to spending his way out of defi-cit. And that may be a problem, come the spring election.

Deficit a problem for Wall

GORGEOUS HOME GREAT STREET APPEAL

By JAMES [email protected] Ramsey Bay resident Ma-rie Patterson feels fortu-nate to still have a place to call home after summer wildfires threatened her residence and many others in her community. The gratitude was not forgotten and as a token of appreciation Patterson and several other residents in Ramsey Bay felt it was ap-propriate to honour the men and women who saved their lives and property. On August 29 the com-munity of Ramsey Bay erected a sign along the side of the highway, which will be seen by motorists as they drive into the com-munity. The sign lists the Weyak-win Fire Base; the RM of Buckland; the communi-ties of Martensville, Car-lyle and Redvers; and the Canadian military, thank-ing firemen and communi-ty members for their help saving their community.

“We are grateful for our lives from the bottom of our hearts. We have al-ways appreciated the dan-gerous work fire fighters do,” said Patterson. “We have always known how hard they work because our local fire crew has put out numerous fires over the years that have been close to us.” Residents were first go-ing to hold a supper for firefighters and communi-ty members, but it was de-cided that not everyone would be able to attend. Instead residents thought a sign would be a better idea to honour all of those involved. During the com-munity’s Weyakwin Days, an annual community event held during the La-bour Day weekend, a jar was placed at different events to raise money for the sign. In the two days the event was held residents collect-ed $1,800, which was more than enough money for the

sign and a little extra. Martensville Fire Chief Kurtis Dyck said the fire-fighters were honoured by the gesture. “We are proud to have been able to help in a small way. The expertise of the Provincial Firefighters was a very humbling expe-rience for us,” said Dyck. “The people of Ramsey Bay treated us with utmost re-spect and hospitality. The gratitude they showed us will not be forgotten.” Patterson said she and her husband were lucky enough to stay with fam-ily in Melfort instead of

having to be among the many displaced residents who had to stay in tem-porary shelters set up in Saskatoon. “When we were evacuat-ed it was very traumatic to us because it made us feel very displaced. We stayed with family and friends. But we all felt very mis-placed. We didn’t know what to do with ourselves.” She said Ramsey Bay res-idents will come up with a plan to spend the remain-ing money on fire safe-ty equipment. A new fire warning system might also be an option.

The clinic was the second in two weeks in the region. The next CBS blood do-nor clinic in Warman is slated for Monday, November 9. The next clinic in Martensville is Monday, December 21. CBS also operates a permanent clinic in Saskatoon.

Warman Recreation Director earns provincial recognitionBy TERRY [email protected] Warman Recreation and Community Services Man-ager Paul McGonigal is be-ing presented with an award for outstanding achievement at the upcoming Saskatche-wan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA) annu-al conference in Yorkton in late October. McGonigal was selected by the SPRA as the recipient for the 2015 “Award of Mer-it”, presented to an individ-ual, group or SPRA member organization for significant and distinguished contri-butions at the local, district or provincial level.” The award recognizes creativity and innovation in promot-ing healthy lifestyles and strengthening parks and recreation services. This marks the second year in a row that the City of Warman has received an award from the SPRA. Last year, the Legends Cen-tre was awarded the Cecil Nobes Facility Award of Ex-cellence. McGonigal said he was “surprised, humbled and honoured” to be chosen for

the award. “I didn’t know I was nom-inated,” said McGonigal in an interview on Friday, Sep-tember 4. “One day this let-ter arrived from the SPRA and I opened it and read it and thought, ‘what the heck?’ So I asked (Warman Recreation and Community Events Supervisor) Coralie (Bueckert), ‘Did you nom-inate me?’ And she said, ‘Hey, you weren’t supposed to see that letter. It was sup-posed to be a surprise’. “I was a little taken aback,” he added. “I didn’t know how to react.” McGonigal said the award reflects well on the entire Warman Recreation and Community Services staff, who work hard to keep the facilities in good condition. “It speaks volumes for the team I work with here,” said McGonigal. “It also feels re-ally good to be recognized for the extra effort and the long hours.” McGonigal moved to Warman with his family in 2003 to take on the role of Director. After graduating from the Recreation and Lei-sure Management program

at SIAST Kelsey campus, he worked in Biggar for several years before moving to Sas-katoon’s Leisure Services Department for two years. “When the opportuni-ty came up in Warman I jumped at that chance,” said McGonigal. “At that time, Warman was just over 3,000 people, and we had a staff of four full-time and two part-time people in the depart-ment. Now there are over 33 people working in the de-partment. “It’s really grown, along with the community,” he continued. “We now have 20 parks that have a total of 159 acres. Those parks include 10 playgrounds and over 20 kilometers of walking paths. There are over 4,000 feet of fencing hat has to be main-tained. We look after all the flowers and trees and the sports facilities and pro-gramming.” McGonigal said the de-partment tries to stay on top of trends and plan new facil-ities that reflect the needs of the community. The skate park in Prairie Oa-sis Park slated to open in a few weeks is destined to be

a popular draw for people across the region and the province, he noted. McGonigal said another major project on the draw-ing board is an aquatic facil-ity. “The city has identified the need for an aquatic facil-

ity and has started putting money into reserves for the project,” he said. “What it will look like, we’re not re-ally sure at this point. We don’t know whether we’re looking at an outdoor or in-door facility. It’s in the five-year capital budget, but it’s

Fall clean-up programs underway in Martensville, WarmanBy TERRY [email protected] Homeowners in Warman and Martensville will be able to get rid of a lot of un-wanted junk in the next few weeks. Both cities are launching their annual fall clean-up programs in mid-to-late Sep-tember. Residents may leave unwanted items in their al-leys behind their residenc-es to be picked up by public works staff. A one-time pick-up will be done in all alleys throughout both cities. The clean-up programs have been running in both cities for several years, and are designed as a service to residents.

SOME ITEMS EXCLUDED Both cities have limita-tions on the type of items that can be picked up. The Warman civic website lists several items that will not be picked up, includ-ing: “materials from major renovations, gyproc, deck boards, shingles, railroad ties, power poles, sod, day to day household garbage, con-crete and rocks, tires and motor oil.” Some items that will be picked up have to meet cer-tain requirements. These in-clude: leaves, garden refuse and grass clippings must be bagged; tree branches must be cut in lengths no longer than four feet and tied, and

carpet must be rolled and cut to no longer than four feet in length. The City of Warman states that there will be a $50 de-commissioning fee payable to the city prior to picking up fridges, freezers and air conditioners. The City of Martensville website lists the following items as being permissible, including: “household ap-pliances (fridge, stove and freezers, all doors must be removed), furniture, torn down fence material (four-foot lengths and tied), rocks, garden refuse, leaves and grass clippings (all bagged), tree branches (four-foot lengths and tied), pieces of

a longer-term project. So it’s on the radar. We’ve also identified the need for a sec-ond ice surface for the Leg-ends Centre down the road.” McGonigal also credited the partnerships that have been built with the school division and local busineses.

scrap material including material from small renova-tions (four-foot lengths and tied).” The City of Martensville website lists a number of prohibited items that will not be picked up, including: “hazardous materials, sod, topsoil and gravel, any liq-uids, construction materi-als, car parts, tires, com-puters and parts, batteries, televisions, concrete.” Both cities urge residents to respect the dates listed for their pickups, and to not place items in the alleys pri-or to one week before the clean-up begins. Properties that dump junk outside the prescribed dates will be sub-

ject to action under civic by-laws.

MARTENSVILLE DATES In Martensville, the pro-gram begins Monday, Sep-tember 14 for residents who live north of Main Street. All items must be out by 8:00 a.m. on September 14. Residents south of Main Street must have their items out by 8:00 a.m. on Monday, September 21.

Warman Open for Business Expo showcases local firmsBy terrY [email protected] The ninth annual edi-tion of the Warman Open for Business Expo (WOBE), slated for Friday, Septem-ber 25 and Saturday, Sep-tember 26, is expected to at-tract 100 vendors, according to Warman Economic Devel-opment Officer Josh Welz. “Last year we had 75 ven-dors,, and this year we’re al-ready well over that number registered so far,” said Welz in an interview September 3. “We’re definitely on track to hit 100 vendors, and I’m expecting a big increase in the number of visitors to the show as well.” Welz said the show will feature popular attractions, including the “Taste of Warman” food booths by lo-cal restaurants, children’s activities, live music and li-censed alcohol sales. To ac-commodate the increased number of vendors, the show will be utilizing both gymnasiums at the Legends Centre. It’s a family-oriented

event that showcases area businesses, organizations and non-profit groups. “This is a place where community and business meet,” said Welz. “It’s grow-ing every year because it provides everyone with a great opportunity to see the type of goods and ser-vices that are offered here by local businesses. It gives our businesses a way of ef-ficiently showcasing what they do and what they can offer to the residents of this area.” Welz said people are of-ten surprised at the number and variety of businesses in and around the city. The $2 admission fee to the event goes directly to KidSport charity to provide recreational opportunities for local youth. A pancake breakfast on Saturday morning, Septem-ber 26 will see Warman city councilors and administra-tive staff serving up break-fast for a good cause, said Welz.

Sandy Lockhart admits that she never pursued her career but that photography chose her. Her company, Sandy Lockhart Photography is well-known for her high quality services at great rates. “Being an on-location photographer, I also have a small studio in Warman which comes in handy with newborns on cold days,” she explains. “I believe a fam-

ily session can be fun and memorable in a good way. I still like to do the posed portraits but love to capture some cadid style images where you see love and emotion between family members.” Lockhart, who recently celebrated 10 years in business earlier this year, takes great pride in pro-viding stellar service and loves going the extra mile for her customers. “One of the most rewarding parts of this business is meeting the amazing people that allow me into their lives and their stories. To watch a child grow from the beginning is a gift I don’t take lightly. Or those early teens that have grown up and are graduating, moving onto the next stages of life...and getting to capture it all has been a blessing. It’s not only memorable for the families but also for myself. Being a part of the community that lets me know they have enjoyed the photos I have captured at events their children or as a family participate in is very rewarding.” Sandy Lockhart Photography specializes in graduation sessions as well as family, children, mater-nity and newborn plus photobooth events, commercial (homebuilders/real estate) and more. Lockhart reflected on her time in the photography industry and is quick to point out that she likes to give back whenever she can. “I volunteered for some charity events and next year am happy to celebrate my 10th year with Children’s Wish Foundation “Swing and a Wish”. This venture has been fun and challenging. It’s the best career I have had!”

Cougars look to rebound after lossBy TERRY [email protected] With a lot of rookies in their lineup, the Dalmeny Cougars knew this season would be anything but a cakewalk. But now they know exact-ly how tough it will be. The Cougars suffered a 64-12 spanking at the hands of the visiting Hafford Vikings on Thursday, September 3 in the opening game of their 2A six-man high school foot-ball season. The Cougars are in Conference 2, which also includes Unity, Biggar, Outlook and Rosetown. Hafford recorded two touchdowns in the opening quarter and built up a 38-0 score before Dalmeny final-ly got on the board. With a little over a minute remain-ing in the half. Cougars’ backup quarterback Bai-ley Tisdel connected with a touchdown pass to receiver Dawson Heggestad to break the goose-egg. This was followed by a successful goal-line stand by the Cougars’ defense in the final few seconds of the half to give the home crowd something to cheer about. But the Vikings weren’t finished yet. In the third quarter, Haf-ford added two more touch-downs before Dalmeny starting quarterback Austin Trakalo punched in a major on a one yard run, making the score 50-12 with only ten seconds left in the quarter. But with no time left on the clock, the Vikings scored one more converted touch-down to snuff out whatev-er momentum the Cougars had heading into the final 12 minutes. Hafford added one more unconverted touch-down in the final quarter.

Rebels kick off season with win over Crusaders

By TERRY [email protected] The Delisle Rebels opened the 2015 high school foot-ball season with a 41-32 win over the visiting John Paul II Crusaders on Friday, Sep-tember 4, but for Rebels head coach Ken Byers, the game was a little too close for comfort. “It’s always nice to escape with a win,” said Byers after the final whistle. “Hopefully we can view this as a good character-building game. You want to have a few close calls like this that cause you to dig deep enough to come back from behind, but frankly, we don’t want every game to come down to the last minute.” After a scoreless first quarter, the Rebels drew first blood on a two-play, 99-yard scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead early in the sec-ond frame. The Rebels’ de-fense set it up with a suc-cessful goal-line stand on their own one-yard line. When the offense took over, quarterback James Shirley completed a pass to receiv-er Red Dubkowski, who ran the length of the field and was finally brought down on the Crusaders’ 15-yard line. The Rebels’ veteran running back Sam Michnik plowed his way in on the next play for a touchdown. Delisle added two more ma-jors to take a 21-0 lead with just over two minutes to go in the half. But the Crusaders re-sponded with a last-min-ute touchdown to get on the scoreboard, making it 21-6

at half-time. John Paul II roared out of the gate in the third quar-ter with two touchdowns, narrowing Delisle’s lead to a single point as the score-clock read 21-20. Delisle added one more converted major with no time left on the clock in the third quarter to make it 28-20. In the fourth quarter, JPII scored two more touch-downs and grabbed a 32-28 lead with four and a half minutes left in the game. With the clock ticking, the Rebels responded with two touchdowns by quarterback James Shirley in the span of one minute to make it 41-32 for the home team. Byers said his team will be looking to beef up their defense. “We were vulnerable to the long ball,” said Byers. “In those situations we just weren’t assertive enough on defense. Plus we gave up a lot of yards on penalties and provided them with some opportunities in our end. Credit to JPII, they took ad-vantage of those opportuni-ties because they’re a good team. But we can’t let that happen.” Byers said he felt the of-fense did their job, putting up 41 points. The Rebels’ next game is Friday, September 11, when they take on the visit-ing Martensville Royals in the annual “Friday Night Lights” evening game in Delisle. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at Delisle High School field.

By WAYNE [email protected] The Saskatoon Hilltops staked a claim to first place in the Prairie Football Con-ference with an impressive 34-17 win over the previous-ly undefeated Regina Thun-der on a very rainy Satur-day, September 5. Fans armed with umbrel-las, ponchos and blankets braving the evening’s tor-rential downpour were re-warded by the performance of the home team. The first half was a tight field position battle that had the two teams tied 14-14. Re-gina quarterback Jaeden Marwick had thrown TD passes to Colten Klassen and Thomas Bresciani. The Toppers had scored when QB Jared Andreychuk hit

Chad Braun for 22 yard TD pass and Logan Fisch-er scored late in the second quarter on a 3 yard run.

Hilltops roll right over Thunder As the teams ran off the field, what had been a light rain turned into a mon-soon-like drench-fest for the rest of the night. The down-pour seemed to wash away any chance for a Thunder victory as the Hilltops dominat-ed the second half. They had planned all week to feature their run game, and in the second half running back Logan Fischer continued to pile up the yards in the driving rain. He would end up run-ning for 293 yards

on 32 carries.

The Martensville Royals lost their season opener 24-12 to the host Kindersley Kobras on Thursday, September 3. Roy-als coach Lyle Evanisky said there were some positives de-spite the loss. “Kindersely was a good game,” said Evanisky. “Our de-fense played well but we were slow going on offence.” The Royals’ touchdown was by Connor McKay and Logan Heck added a field goal. The other two points came on a safety.

Sailing opens up a world of freedom for wheelchair athletesBy TERRY [email protected] Saskatchewan paralympi-an Colette Bourgonje doesn’t shrink from a challenge. The recently-retired teach-er has competed in nine Paralympic Games between 1998 and 2010; and brought home medals from each of those events in wheelchair racing and sit-skiing. Pri-or to a car crash in 1980 that left her a paraplegic, she was a national-calibre ath-lete in cross-country skiing. After a transition period, she became the first gradu-ate of the University of Sas-katchewan’s physical educa-tion department who used a wheelchair. She went on to a successful career as an ele-mentary school teacher and

inspired millions of Canadi-ans with her grit and deter-mination.It’s been five years since her last world-class com-petition, and while

she’s not looking to add to her paralympic medal col-lection anytime soon, she hasn’t lost her competitive edge. In fact, she’s looking to get back into racing in a completely different sport: sailing. “It’s a great experience,” said Bourgonje. “I started last year to learn the basics after an event sponsored by the provincial wheelchair sports association and the Saskatchewan Sailing Clubs Association (SSCA). “I entered a regatta last year and got my butt kicked. It was hilarious. But now I know a bit more and it’s be-coming a lot more fun. I can’t imagine competing at

the international level, but local regattas are a blast.” Bourgonje, along with two other women from the Prince Albert area, Crys-tal Shewchuk and Marie Gareau, have been learning to sail specially-designed racing sailboats that allow wheelchair athletes to ride the wind. Twice a week, they travel to Blackstrap Lake south of Saskatoon during the summer months. While they need help get-ting into and out of the boats, once the craft is launched they’re completely on their own. Officially known as the International 2.4 mR class dinghy, there are about half a dozen of these boats in the province owned by the SSCA and made avail-able to wheelchair athletes. These mini-keelboats are 13 feet 8 inches long and have a beam of just 2 feet, 8 inch-es. They carve the water like a knife, powered by 81 square feet of mainsail and jib. Each boat weighs a to-tal of 500 pounds. About 300 pounds of that consists of the keel mounted on the un-derside of the craft. The keel keeps the boat upright in even the strongest gales. And boy, do those things fly. “It’s a feeling of complete freedom; complete indepen-dence” said Marie Gareau. “It’s hard to describe but it’s wonderful, because you’re not grounded, you’re like a bird out there. It’s a great confidence booster because you’re in control of where you go, how fast you go, and you don’t have to rely on anyone else. You can com-pete head-to-head with able-bodied athletes.” Crystal Shewchuk of Prince Albert is on her way to earning her teaching cer-tificate. She said sailing has really boosted her confi-dence level.

“Colette amd Marie got me involved,” said Shewchuk. “I’d never been in a sail-boat before and I’m kind of scared of water, so I was pretty nervous at first. But after a while I realized the boat wasn’t going to tip over and now I absolutely love it. After doing this, I feel like I can do anything.” SSCA Coach Mark Lam-mens of Saskatoon said the provincial association has applied for funding to aqui-re additional 2.4mR keel-boats to provide more peo-ple with the opportunity to experience the sport. There are currently three boats in Saskatoon and three in Re-gina. Corporate sponsors and volunteers have also provided specially-made docks and lifts that make it easier for the athletes to get into and out of the boats. Bourgonje said she and the other athletes are very appreciative of the efforts

by the SSCA, family and friends to make sailing ac-cessible. She said when she and her two friends make their

twice-weekly trip from Prince Albert to the Black-strap Sailing Club, all the hard work is done for them. “We’re a pretty high-main-

tenance group” she said with a laugh. “We’re like the princesses; we roll in and everything is all ready and waiting for us.”

Dalmeny coach Stephen Kowalchuk said the game was a learning experience for this year’s rookies. “It served as a bit of a wake-up call for most of our boys,” said Kowalchuk after the game. “We graduated so many players, so there are a lot of guys starting for the first time, and I think they need-ed this game to realize, ‘hey, this is what football is all

about.’ There’s a lot of wide eyes on the bench, but a lot of smiles to, because now we have something to build on, and practice will look different now because they know what it takes.” Kowalchuk said while there were a lot of mistakes, there were also lots of high points. Standout defensive tackles by cornerback Wy-att Holmgren and some key offensive yards by Grade

Cougars regroup for next gameContinued from page 11

Hilltops win round oneContinued from page 11

12 wide receiver Dawson Heggestad and Grade 9 wide receiver-quarterback Bailey Tisdel showed there’s plenty of potential with this squad. “After the first half, we just said to the kids, we have to focus on little wins on every play and forget about the score,” said Kow-alchuk. “You always have the goal to win, but we’re going to come out and play our best every game.”

Evan Kopchynski caught an 18 yard pass for a TD, QB Jared Andreychuk add-ed to the lead with a 9 yard run. The Toppers final score was setup as Fischer had a 50 yard run down to the Re-gina 1 yard line. Hilltops starting guard, Drayke Un-ger took a turn in the back-field and used the great blocking of his linemates to score on a one yard run

from the fullback position. The Hilltop defence exert-ed their dominance as the only scoring in the half for the Thunder was a 12 yard field goal by Kristopher Cal-cutt. In 2014 the Thunder had stolen the home opener at SMF Field from the Hilltops by scoring three TDs in the final two minutes to beat the Toppers by a single point.

There was no comeback this year as former Delisle Reb-el running back Des Vessey came into the game and ran for a series of first downs to run the clock out. The game ended with QB Jared An-dreychuk taking a knee. The Hilltops were victors in round 1. The two teams meet again Saturday, Sep-tember 12 at Mosaic Stadi-um in Regina. The Hilltops next home game is Sunday, September 20 at 1 p.m. when they play the Edmonton Huskies.

How do you spell relief? W-I-N. Or perhaps, D-Y-C-E. Be-cause you couldn’t have had one without the other. Let me explain. The Sas-katchewan Roughriders were 0-9 in the first half of the 2015 CFL season which led to the dismissal of Gen-eral Manager Brendan Ta-man and head coach Corey Chamblin last week. Their replacements - on an interim basis - were for-mer Roughrider player and Assistant GM Jeremy O’Day and Special Teams coordi-nator Bob Dyce, respective-ly. The new duo’s first game in charge of Canada’s Team would be Sunday’s Labour Day Classic XLIX at a sold-out Mosaic Stadium in Regi-na against the 3-6 Winnipeg Blue Bombers. A few years ago the Roughriders’ marketing campaign was “It’s Better In The Stands” which was an effort to get the Rider Na-tion off the couch and buy-ing tickets for the games. Well, the slogan continued to ring true on Sunday as 33,427 fans packed the stadi-um despite a forecast of rain and it turned out to be a spectacular afternoon of Ca-nadiana between two prai-rie football rivals. However, unfortunately, the game started out simi-larly to all the rest for the Green & White. The Blue Bombers jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter thanks in part to a muffed direct snap to Saskatche-wan running back Jerome Messam which the Bombers pounced on at the Rider 20-yard line. Less than a min-ute later it was in their end-zone. But no one – that I could hear – allowed themselves to think ‘Here we go again’. Then the game changed. Rookie Rider receiver/re-turner Nic Demski turned the game around with a 60-yard punt return touchdown midway through the sec-ond quarter which tied the game 10-10 and Saskatche-wan never trailed the rest of the game on the way to a 37-19 victory. Paradyce! Interim coach Dyce got the Gatorade shower from play-ers Tim Agbaje and Alex Su-ber in the waning moments of the contest and the stadi-um erupted when the clock hit 0:00. Finally! “It felt good!” Dyce said af-terwards about collecting the win in his CFL debut. “But it’s cold! And sticky.” If it’s true that Labour Day Weekend is the unofficial kickoff to the CFL season, then sign me up. They say that because the rest of Can-ada finally wakes up to the fact CFL football is on while the rest of us have known it since June. No matter. It’s a brand new season here in the Wheat Province and it’s nothing but blue skies ahead under Bob Dyce. The Rid-ers were a different team on Sunday than they were un-der Corey Chamblin. Calm, resilient and composed. Make no mistake – this game was as much about Bob Dyce as it was about facing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers no matter how dif-ferently the Riders would

like to frame it. “Feels great,” the Rid-ers’ Nic Demski gushed amidst the smoke of the postgame fireworks. “Bob’s such a great guy, such a great leader and we really feel a change. We’re excit-ed to take the next step with him.” We learned it was as much about Dyce as anything be-cause that’s what the play-ers were talking about in the locker room afterwards.

The reviews were universal-ly positive. “Honestly Coach Dyce has been trying to hide it but he looked nervous all week,” admitted Messam after the game. “We’re happy to get the win for him. We all love him.” There were those who said Sunday, September 6, 2015 would be an historic day in Roughrider history. Would the franchise’s fortunes change on the shoulders of

Dyce and O’Day or would they lose another game, fall to 0-10, and be at perhaps the lowest point in the fran-chise’s 105 years? Well they got that first win. That’s a start. And this tandem of O’Day and Dyce just feels right. At some point O’Day’s going to have the interim tag re-moved and Dyce was going to be one of the candidates for the head coaching job at the end of the season any-

way. Now he’s got a head-start on the rest of the field and already looks like a star And, he remains humble. “I’m happy for the guys in that room,” Dyce said after-wards. “They went through nine hard weeks of great ef-fort. For that to materialize

into a victory, I’m ecstatic about it. I’m happy for Jere-my and I’m happy for (head scout) Craig (Smith). I’m just happy. It’s probably the first time where I’m happy for myself as well. But I’m happy.” What a nice change.

Fundraiser gives Pike Lake firefighters boostBy TERRY [email protected] A concert by award-win-ning Saskatchewan enter-tainer Donny Parenteau helped Pike Lake firefight-ers raise about 80 per cent of the funds they need to pur-chase a wildland firefight-ing vehicle. “It was a great event for us,” said Pike Lake District Fire Chief Marv Ceslak. “We don’t normally hold fundraisers; but our equip-ment is aging, and we are in real need of a wildland fire-fighting vehicle that can get into areas that are inacces-sible with regular trucks.” The Pike Lake fire depart-ment is an affiliate of the

Delisle Fire Department. Be-sides the main fire hall in Delisle, the department also has satellite halls in Vans-coy, Pike Lake and the RM of Montrose. Ceslak said the depart-ment is looking to purchase a side-by-side ATV equipped with a water tank and a high-pressure washer with foam. “It gives us the capaci-ty for a very fast attack,”

Saskatoon Police have re-ceived hundreds of com-plaints regarding fraudulent calls by people claiming to represent the Canada Rev-enue Agency. Most reports are of attempted fraud, how-ever in a few cases victims reported being defrauded of up to $40,000. The callers claim that taxes are owed, and use threatening or aggressive language to frighten the complainants into paying fictitious debt. In some cases the callers falsely claim that the complainants will be ar-rested if they don’t pay. The callers demand payment by credit card or money trans-fer. The Saskatoon Police Ser-vice is requesting that any-one who has been similarly defrauded to contact the SPS at 306-975-8300. Please do not use the 911 number. In cases of at-tempted fraud complain-ants can report to the Ca-nadian Anti-Fraud Centre: http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/index-eng.htm. More information is available on the Canada Revenue Agency’s website: www.cra-arc.gc.ca/nwsrm/lrts/2015/l150610-eng.html.

Police issue warning about fraudulent CRA calls

said Ceslak. “The intent is to knock the fire down very quickly and then we can go in with shovels and back-packs to clean up. It’s been very effective.” The fundraising con-cert was held Saturday, Au-gust 15 at the farm of Larry Link, a member of the fire department at Pike Lake. With just his guitar, man-dolin and fiddle (along with an iPad for a backing band),

Parenteau put on a great show for the 50 people in attendance. The Pike Lake Fire De-partment trains in con-junction with the rest of the affiliates twice a month. The joint training benefits everyone because with such a wide area to cover, the affiliates are able to pool their equip-ment and human resourc-es effectively, said Ceslak.

More than $425,000 was raised by five community and business leaders at the first annual Rescue onthe Prairie fundraising event for STARS air ambulance, held at a remote location near Dundurn on August 26. All participants were air-lifted by STARS to the re-mote prairie location where they competed against each other to raise the most funds in one day using their mobile phones and personal networks. In Saskatchewan, STARS needs to raise 50 per cent of its operating funds, about $10million for the Regina and Saskatoon bases. This is done through fundraising and community support.
