RM cruises into year-end decisions

By HILARY [email protected] The R.M. has grant funds from the Saskatchewan Lot-teries Community that are designed to support the de-velopment of sport, cultur-al and recreation programs. If these funds are not used, the R.M. is responsible to pay them back to Saskatche-wan Lotteries. On December 7, R.M. coun-cillor Bas Froese-Kooijen-ga recommended allocating the remaining Saskatche-wan Lotteries grant funds to Valley Christian Academy (VCA) for playground equip-ment. The opening balance on the grant funds was over $28,000 and just over $9,000 of that remains. Council vot-ed unanimously to allocate these funds to VCA. Valley Christian Acade-my is a K to 12 school locat-ed one mile west of Osler. In the grant application, VCA principal, Syd Laskowski indicated that the school is currently building a new playground and that the project is long overdue. The anticipated cost of the proj-ect is between $60,000 and

At its regular council meeting on December 7, the RM recognized Isaac Wiebe for 31 years of service. RM Administrator Adam Tittemore (left) and RM Reeve Judy

Harwood presented Isaac with a watch and his wife Stella with a bouquet of roses.

Lottery funds help build playground

$70,000 for the equipment, construction, ground prepa-ration and base around the play structures. The school community has been actively raising funds for the project. Funds provided through the R.M. are designated toward the equipment itself. Laskowski also stated that VCA soccer fields are used in spring by Osler Commu-nity Soccer and that the public is present regularly on their campus. The new equipment will be avail-able to the public outside of school hours. The R.M. de-cision stipulates that if the school closed, playground assets would remain part of the community.

2016 APAS MeMberShiP Various membership dues for 2016 are coming up for the R.M. and they discussed whether to renew their Ag-ricultural Producers As-sociation Membership (APAS). The total amount of $22,626.10 is calculated at six cents per acre, or ½ mill of the agricultural assess-ment, whichever is lower. SARM membership now stands at 101 RMs. But Har-wood said in Saskatche-wan, none of the other six

or seven people around the SARM table are members. “They’re all farmers. I’m the only one that is tech-nically not a farmer. I ask them to explain this to me. They all have their own or-ganizations and they feel for the amount of money they have to put into it, there’s definitely duplication. It’s an awful lot of money,” said Harwood. The RM has been a mem-ber of APAS for more than a decade, and membership dues had already been fac-tored into the budget. Oth-ers expressed concerns about the dollar amount, but suggested paying the fee for another year, and look-ing into it more closely. But after discussion, the motion by John Germs was defeat-ed.

Dalmeny retention pond to fix chronic drainage issue

By HILARY [email protected] A retention pond on the east side of Dalmeny that was completed this year is now fully operational. Town ad-ministrator Jim Weninger said the final phase was im-plemented earlier this year, with fairly extensive land-scaping. “We planted trees around it this year - a bunch of shrubs, a bunch of rhubarb, a bunch of Saskatoon bushes, evergreen trees, different deciduous trees and there’s a walking trail around it,” he said. Picnic tables are slated for next summer. The pond facilitates drain-age on the east side of town. Now, councillors have begun a process that would see the construction of a second retention pond to address drainage in the west half of Dalmeny. It’s located at the southern boundary of town. In local speak, that means just south of where the chicken barns were, and adja-cent to the old lagoons. The proposal portends to offer a highly desirable solu-tion to long-time drainage issues. “Every spring when the water came down the highway the town foreman would pump water over to the lagoon so it wouldn’t flood out somebody downstream,” said Weninger. The plan is to create one large retention pond with a total land mass of about 32 acres, plus the land from the previous lagoons. The biggest piece of the puzzle was acquisition of the land. The town has entered into an agreement with Elizabeth Bartsch for the proposed lo-cation. A geo-technical engineering firm has drilled a num-ber of test holes to determine the suitability of the land. Weninger says that report should be ready just before Christmas and they’ll read it over during the holiday season and respond early next year. “We want to style the pond in such a way that it’s not a rectangular body but it’s got some artistic flavour to it. And then maybe go with walking paths and trees, but everything is in preliminary discussion,” he said. “We just want to make sure right now that the land is suitable and then we can design it in conjunction with our engineering firm, Cattarall and Wright, at a lat-er date.” Construction of the pond would take place in phases. The retention pond will also accommodate the drain-age requirements for the proposed Co-op Convenience Store and Gas Bar. “It sets us up for a number of years to come and we finally have a place for water to go. If somebody wants to develop on industrial land that’s been sitting idle for 50 years they can consider that, they’ve got a place for their water to go,” said Weninger. The land in consideration is currently farm land. From the west side of town, everything flows to the south east, so the location is a natural low spot. Weninger said without the cooperation of the Bartsch family this solution would not have been possible. “We see it as a win-win situation for everybody concerned.”

DIGGING INCraddock takes Gold Medal Plates for second timeBy HILARY [email protected] There’s no magic formu-la for winning Gold Med-al Plates (GMP). But having won it twice (the only one to have done so) and gotten sil-ver last year, Darren Crad-dock’s may be as close as they come. Gold Medal Plates is an ex-ceptional celebration of ex-cellence in Canadian cui-sine, wine and athletic achievement. “The competi-tion itself has a two-fold pur-pose – it’s one part culinary competition and one part fund-raiser for the Canadian Olympic foundation,” said Craddock. GMP crowns the premier chefs in 11 cities across Can-ada. Craddock won the 2015 Gold Medal Plates competi-tion on November 20 at Prai-rieland Park. His winning dish featured wild boar, ac-companied by sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes), as well as crab apples and cher-ries prepared two or three different ways, micro mizu-na and a wine pairing. Eight chefs were invited to participate in the event. “Ev-eryone chooses their own style of food they want to make. There’s no template,” said Craddock. The Warman resident has been executive chef at the Riverside Country Club for close to five years. His team began by narrowing down their wine selection and built their dish around that. They chose a 2014 Trebbiano which Craddock said had a lot of acidity along with ap-ple and citrus flavours. Craddock loves to use local products when possible, set-tling on wild boar from the Bartons at Foam Lake. Over the summer they ex-perimented with dishes that could complement wild boar. “At one point we had a smoked cauliflower puree, because the smokiness went well with the meat. And we had sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes) and when we made that it tasted so much

better than the cauliflower,” said Craddock. Dinner was served to 450 people. Guests get to try all the different food, wine, spirits or beer. But a pan-el of eight judges determine who the winner will be. Head judge James Chatto is joined by food professionals from each city. Dishes are judged by wow factor, wine compatibility, textures, and about half a dozen other criteria, for a to-tal score of 100. “You’re all competing at the same time. You’re each given a time frame. You’re given maybe 10 minutes’ warning that your dishes have to go before the judg-es,” said Craddock. “We stop serving everyone else. They give us a bigger plate

to work with, just so we can make it look a bit nicer. We might take that little bit of extra care in making that dish look perfect. Every plate that every other guest got had exactly the same components on the plate.” The dish has to have that wow factor which has the judges asking, ‘Oh what’s this?’, ‘how did you do that?’ It’s got to look visually ap-pealing and it’s got to taste good. “Taste is the highest points you can get,” he said. There’s high marks for us-ing contrasting textures too, like sweet, sour, salty, crunchy, soft, crispy, etc., and using different cooking techniques. At the GMP, each chef was allowed to have 10 peo-

ple on their team. Crad-dock had his Riverside sous chef Shaun McConnell, and junior sous chef Alyson Lafrentz. At the national competition in Kelowna in February, he’ll have Shaun and Alyson, and some lo-cal culinary students whose skill level will be an un-known. The Canadian Culinary Championships begin with a wine pairing competition. Early the next morning the black box competition pres-ents a mystery box of ingre-dients. Chefs have an hour to prepare 14 plates in front of a live audience of about 80 people. The only thing they’ll know ahead of time is the pantry they’ll have, with staple items like pota-toes. “You’d be amazed what food will come out of you when you’re pressured like that!” said Craddock. For the main event, Crad-dock and his team will cook the same dish they did for GMP here in Saskatoon. The main unknown is the black box competition. “That’s the part we’ll practice ahead of time with other chefs here. I’ll go to the Delta Bessbor-ough at 8:00 a.m. and the chef there will give us a mystery box of ingredients and they’ll try to stump us. We’ll travel with our pan-try and they’ll give us an hour,” said Craddock.Craddock got his initial training in England in a “Hell’s Kitchen” type envi-ronment and has had a lot of additional international experience. He’s thrilled to be working at Riverside and equally thrilled to be living in Warman with its small town feel, something he’s never had before. “We wanted to win, ab-solutely. So we wanted to make the best dish possible to get that win,” said Crad-dock who also won in 2012. “It’s a high stress environ-ment. You have to love it to do it. To do something that’s fun and get recognition for it, it’s great!”

Provincial grants keep community rinks affordable for residents By TERRY [email protected] Every qualified commu-nity that applies for Com-munity Rink Affordability Grant is guaranteed approv-al, according to Hon. Nancy Heppner, Minister of High-ways and Infrastructure and MLA for the Martens-ville constituency. “It’s $2,500 per ice surface, and we pay out as per the applications,” said Heppner in an interview. “You’re guaranteed to get it if you apply, so it’s beneficial for any community that has an indoor ice surface to apply for the grant, because the funding is there.” The deadline for applica-tions under the program, which provides funding for community-owned indoor skating and curling rinks, is December 15. Communi-ties, schools, non-profit or-ganizations and First Na-tions are eligible to apply for the program. The funding can be used to offset operational costs, improve energy efficien-cy, or to provide free or re-duced cost programing for citizens. Heppner said every com-munity in her constituen-cy qualifies for the grant, and she said her office has urged each community to apply. Heppner presented a cheque to the City of Warman in the amount of $7,500 at a news confer-ence at the Legends Centre on Friday, December 4. The funds represent the prov-ince’s contribution towards keeping Warman’s three in-

door ice surfaces operating over the winter. Warman’s three indoor ice surfaces include the Legends hock-ey arena, the Legends lei-sure ice surface, and the Warman Diamond Arena. “We know that it’s impor-tant for every communi-ty to have these recreation-al facilities,” said Heppner. “They add to the quality of life by promoting the health and well-being of citizens. But we also understand that it’s a great expense to you as a community to keep these facilities open. “Since this grant program began, we have contribut-ed almost $5 million to Sas-katchewan communities.” Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said the city has re-ceived a total of $30,000 over the past four years under the program. “The City of Warman uses this money to assist with the utility costs for each of our ice surfaces,” said Spence. “The grant al-lows the city to minimize the increase in rental costs to community groups and assists us in providing af-fordable options to public programs such as public skating, public shinny, par-ent and tot skating and so on. This increases the num-ber of participants in these programs and helps nur-ture the healthy community we’re trying to build here in Warman.”

MARTENSVILLE FUNDING The City of Martensville received $5,000 in funding under the program to help offset the cost of operating

the indoor hockey arena and the curling rink, con-firmed Martensville Recre-ation and Community Ser-vices Director Dave Bosch. “We received $2,500 for the hockey rink and $2,500 for the curling rink,” said Bosch. “We use the funds to help offset the operating costs, and to do upgrades and maintenance projects. Last year we repaired insu-lation in the ceiling of the curling rink and we’ve also changed out the hockey are-na lighting, putting in more energy-efficient LED lights that make a huge difference in lowering our costs while making the whole ice sur-face area much brighter.” Warman Recreation and Community Services Man-ager Paul McGonigal said the grant funding helps with maintenance costs in both the Legends Cen-tre and Diamond Arena. He noted the Diamond Are-na in particular has benefit-ed from upgrades in recent years. “For an old building that was built in 1965, it’s actu-ally in pretty good shape,” said McGonigal. “We invest-ed $25,000 in redoing the header trench this year and also put in about $13,000 to replace all the boards by the lobby. “Every year there is a lot of work done to keep it run-ning, but it pays off. We used a new product this year called ‘Rink Seal’ to reinforce the refrigeration lines underneath the ice surface. Those lines were installed fifty years ago by volunteers, and so you al-

ways get shifting and little breaks in the lines which lead to brine leaks. This year we used it to seal all

the lines and we haven’t had a leak yet. It also al-lowed us to make the ice in half the time it normal-

ly takes, and we’re only us-ing one compressor instead of two, so that has cut our costs as well.”

By HILARY [email protected] With the retirement of Gord Beresh after more than 25 years, Rubicon Pharmacies welcomed the opportunity to acquire sev-eral Saskatoon Pharmasave stores in November, as well as the Martensville Pharma-save. “We’re very excited to be in Martensville,” said Al Chilton, CEO of Rubicon. “We’re not going to revo-lutionize the industry, but there will be some innova-tion and new initiatives.” Rubicon added the Warman Diamond Centre Pharma-cy to its roster of properties in September. Customer ser-vice as well as new and ex-panded pharmacy services, are top priorities for the new ownership. Michael Wright, chief busi-ness development officer for Rubicon said government is leading some of the change to a more service-based model, from typical distri-bution. “Whereas previously you just went to get medica-tion, now most patients go to a pharmacy to get informa-tion.” Services like medica-tion review and vaccinations have been introduced as a way to take pressure off the health care system. “Any of those opportunities coming out of government, we want

to lead that,” he said. One of Rubicon’s goals is to address drug adher-ence patterns in the public. They are conducting a study with the College of Phar-macy on drug adherence in one community, and hope to do more. Chilton said it’s a huge health concern. He cit-ed a study out of the U.S. that says, when people take the right drugs at the right time at the right dose, it will reduce health costs. Rubicon recently launched their ‘SIMPL’ program which is all about drug ad-herence. “Medicine doesn’t really work very well if you don’t take it,” said Chil-ton. Life is complicated, so keep it simple and take your meds. Chilton said the Martens-ville store hasn’t had a lot of immediate change. But over the last month they’ve add-ed things and they’ll con-tinue to do that. “In Janu-ary if everything goes well we’ll have a Post Office. Go-ing forward, as more and more people shop the inter-net, there’s a place to pick up parcels.” Rubicon also expects to broaden product selection in its stores. With a younger population in Martensville, that means a greater focus on toys and other younger products in general.

Within the next two to three months, they hope to intro-duce a one-hour delivery service. “If mom is at home and the kid’s got a fever and they need something, they can get it,” said Chilton. Hours are being extended to serve commuters. On De-cember 7, they’ll start open-ing at 8:00 a.m., Mondays to Fridays. Staffing has been increased to respond to busy times and vaccinations are being offered. Rubicon hopes to partner with Saskatchewan Poly-technic through their phar-macy technician program, by placing students in their stores for work experience. “The college of pharma-cy is near and dear to our hearts, and we’d like to de-velop closer ties with them,” said Wright. Such an ar-rangement would be mutual-ly beneficial. Rubicon has a community minded approach, and with 62 locations across Saskatch-ewan, Alberta and Manito-ba, they are well positioned to make an impact. “We believe there’s real value in a community drug store,” Chilton said. Rubicon intends to support some lo-cal events. They also want to get to know and engage their clientele, building relation-ships with each and every

patient. “Our job as pharma-cists is to give them comfort and education.” The compa-ny mantra is, ‘Community before commerce. Care be-fore commerce.’ They’re also available to listen. “If the people of Martens-ville have positive or nega-tive comments, share them with us. We can’t bring change without their input,” he said. “None of us is as smart as all of us.” The Martensville Pharma-save is located at 70 Centen-nial Drive North.

Saskatoon Health Region encourages anyone who has not yet received a seasonal influenza vaccine to get im-munized. “With the holiday sea-son approaching, we hope that everyone sees the im-portance of being immu-nized for seasonal influen-za,” says Dr. Simon Kapaj, Saskatoon Health Region’s Deputy Medical Health Offi-cer. “Vaccination is the saf-

Still time to get flu shots, say health region officialsest and most effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones against influen-za, including flu-related hos-pitalizations and deaths for those at risk of complica-tions.” Seasonal influenza pos-es serious health risks to the elderly, young children, pregnant women and those with weakened immune sys-tems or other chronic health conditions, and their care-

givers. The last public influenza clinic was held on Novem-ber 27, 2015. Those individu-als who still want to be im-munized can: • Call 306-655-4358 to book an appointment at a pub-lic health office. Please be advised that appointment availability may be limited depending on the volume of calls received. Make an appointment at a

physician’s office. Visit a pharmacy (for peo-ple nine years of age and older). For a list of physician of-fices and pharmacies that offer the influenza vaccine, visit www.4flu.ca. As of November 21, a total of 69,206 people in the Re-gion have been immunized; 52,198 by Public Health nurses and others, and 17,008 by pharmacists.

Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metro-politan Area (CMA) were trending at 2,114 units in November compared to 2,013 in October, accord-ing to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally ad-justed annual rates (SAAR)(1) of total housing starts. “The trend in total hous-

ing starts moved higher in November after the trend in multi-family construc-tion rose from the previ-ous month. Nonetheless, lo-cal builders have continued to slow the pace of new con-struction in 2015 as they face weaker economic con-ditions and elevated inven-tory,” said Goodson Mwale, CMHC’s Senior Market An-alyst for Saskatchewan. CMHC uses the trend

Residential housing starts in Saskatoon area risemeasure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and ob-tain a more complete pic-ture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be mislead-ing in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite

variable from one month to the next. The standalone month-ly SAAR was 3,462 units in November, up from 1,620 in October. While the SAAR measure increased from the previous month, total actu-al housing starts were 24 per cent lower in November than a year ago, largely due to a significant reduction in single-detached construc-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

What any politician owes to the electorate real-ly should be no more than what any other employee owes his boss. In fact, politicians can ar-gue they owe the voters less than that. Sure, politicians have four years of job security and are compensated reasonably well for their efforts; a lot better employment situation than many enjoy these days. Moreover, they likely have better pensions and sever-ance packages (generally, a full year’s salary if you make it past two terms of elected service) than a lot of us. However, there is no over-time, a tonne of weekend work and more travel than most of our families would care to take on. Many give up successful careers or businesses at great financial cost. And then there’s that pros-pect of being dismissed with cause as decided by their voter-employer. Some of the luckier poli-ticians do transition back into old jobs or better new ones based on the contacts they have made and the ex-periences they have gained. Others, however, leave with sparse prospects of f re-

building businesses, careers and even reputations. So if current Saskatche-wan Premier Brad Wall has aspirations of other more lu-crative jobs; say, a promo-tion to leadership of a feder-al party; does he owe it to us to tell us now? Maybe not. But may-be as Premier, Wall does have added responsibility to make good on his four-year commitment. After all, will we be vot-ing in four months on a new Saskatchewan government; a vote that many of us will make on the basis of who is designated as Premier? So if Wall does have any aspirations to replace Ste-phen Harper as federal lead-er of the now opposition Conservative Party of Can-ada, should he be making a four-year commitment to stand as Premier of Sas-katchewan? One big problem is we don’t truly know what Brad Wall’s aspirations are. We should likely take him

at his word that he really has no aspiration to jump to federal politics. Certainly, the realities of politics don’t exactly work in his favour. Charles Tupper was about the only Canadian prime minister who ever made the transition from a premier’s job to federal politics. How-ever, we’ve seen our share of failed efforts from Tommy Douglas to Robert Stanfield. As a long-time student of politics, Wall would recog-nize this. He would also recognize that federal politics is a completely different game than provincial politics where, for starters, some level of fluency in French would be needed. Even more critical would be a national team extend-ing well beyond Wall’s capa-ble Saskatchewan political staff. Former and present Con-servative MPs would have spent decades honing such contacts for the possibility of such a political run. And with more than 100 Conser-vative MPs there are a lot out there who would consider themselves equally qualified. That said, there is a draft-Brad-Wall-for-leadership Twitter account and Face-Book page. And there are

lots of rumours abounding that someone is trying to put together a national com-mittee on his behalf. And there are a couple more factors. With “conservatives” los-ing in Alberta, federally _ and everywhere else in the country after the Liberal win in Newfoundland and Labrador; we have pretty much run out of governing Conservatives. Of course, that doesn’t make every federal Conser-vative MP or former cabi-net minister a loser. Some of them would surely have the credibility to rebuild this party. That said, the taint of that unpopular Harper govern-ment will make that harder. And after Wall’s perfor-mance as the lone “conser-vative voice” at the First Ministers’ meeting and the Paris summit on climate change, there are many who believe Wall can and should make a move now to federal politics. This creates a dilemma for the Sask. Party: If Saskatchewan is about to vote for Brad Wall to lead for the next four years, shouldn’t we know for sure that he’ll be there for that entire time?

In September 2007 Saskatchewan Party leader Brad Wall unequivocally states that “Crowns are not go-ing to be privatized and (subsidiaries) are not going to be wound down”.

Yet, here we are some 8 years later with Wall proposing the sale/giveaway of yet another Saskatchewan money maker, namely the Saskatchewan Gov-ernment Liquor stores, while we, the taxpayer will be saddled with the prob-lems that liquor abuse seems to be re-sponsible for. Wall has sold off dozens of jobs previ-ously done by the Crowns and their sub-sidiaries. For example, Sask. Tel alone contracted out or sold seven of its ser-vices. Sask. Energy is forced to sell 3 of it’s subsidiaries to comply with Wall’s “Saskatchewan First”. Never mind Sask. Power’s Carbon Capture fiasco, Sask. Power as well was forced to divest itself of assets that did not conform to Wall’s ‘Saskatchewan First’ policy. Under Wall’s tutorage, Sask. Land-ing, Cypress Hills and Greenwater Lake Provincial Parks sold/privatized Cabin rental, as well as services such as clear-ing an d maintaining hiking trails, fire-wood supplies etc. to private sectors. The Saskatchewan First policy was a thinly disguised policy adopted by Wall , whose purpose was to prevent Govern-ment owned companies from competing against the private sector. Under a premier who stated that Crowns and their subsidiaries would not be privatized, Saskatchewan has sourced out more jobs than one can imagine. Hospital laundry services to Alberta, Sask.Ferco to Norway, Pow-er to Northland Power, Ontario –on and on. Now Premier Wall (Premier Pinoc-chio) wants to privatize 40+ Saskatche-wan Government Liquor stores. Every one of these stores employ several peo-ple who shop local, enroll their children in the local schools, pay taxes to the community, partake in local churches, organizations and sports – These will be gone.

The local grocery store will no doubt apply for the privilege of supplying local customers with their li-quor supplies. This in itself will create many prob-lems. Now, where should we display our stash of booze – next to the soft drink display – no it is a bev-erage how about the juice department – better still right with the mil,…And how will one monitor the “under drinking age” clerk who is operating the till. And what of the convenience store that is open 24-7. Just who will monitor the sale of liquor at all hours of the day?

Stormwater pond ice unsafe, says cityBy TERRY [email protected] City officials are warn-ing residents to stay off the ice on storm water retention ponds. “It’s very unsafe right now due to the extreme-ly mild weather,” said Paul McGonigal, manager of recreation and communi-ty services for the City of Warman. “Right now we have signs up all around our storm water retention ponds to advise people of the danger.” Dave Bosch, Director of Recreation and Communi-ty Services for the City of Martensville, said residents should not venture out onto the ice. “It really hasn’t been cold enough yet to support any outdoor activities like skating,” said Bosch. “We strongly advise people to stay off the ice for their own safety.” Civic employees in both Martensville and Warman monitor the thickness of the ice on storm retention ponds. “As soon as the ice starts to form on the ponds, we put up the ‘Danger, thin ice’ signs around the ponds,” said McGonigal. “Our city policy states that when the ice gets to be eight inches thick on a consistent basis throughout the pond, then we’ll cover the signs be-cause the ice is safe to use.” McGonigal said while the city does not clear snow on the ponds, residents are not prevented from using the ice at their own risk. “Once the ice is deemed to be safe and the signs are covered, then residents can go out and shovel the snow to clear a patch of ice,” said McGonigal. “We would rath-er they didn’t have any mo-torized vehicles on the ice.” Bosch said the City of

Warning signs have been posted around storm water retention ponds in Warman

Martensville follows provin-cial guidelines for ice thick-ness. He noted the ice is so thin now that regular test-ing of the ice won’t begin until a prolonged cold snap occurs. “The guys will start test-ing within the next couple of weeks, depending on the weather,” said Bosch. “Right now it’s still too early in the season.” McGonigal noted that monitoring ice thickness throughout the winter is necessary because the water levels in the pond may vary. “They’re water reten-tion ponds, so when you get a melt for a few days and water runs down the street and into the storm drains, it ends up in the storm retention ponds,” said McGonigal. “That means the water level changes and that could mean a shifting of the ice. So it’s not as sta-ble as a lake. You always have water coming in and going out. That’s why we monitor the ponds at the wa-ter intakes and outlets, be-cause that’s where the wa-ter levels are most likely to change.”

OUTDOOR RINKS The mild weather has also put a damper on the cre-ation of outdoor skating sur-faces in both cities. Warman has two out-door facilities: one at the Warman Fire Hall across the street from the Warman Elementary School; and one at Lions Park. Martensville has one per-manent outdoor rink outside the city’s sports centre are-na, and Bosch said a second outdoor ice rink is being built near one of the storm ponds across the street from the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre. “We’re doing things a lit-tle differently this year,” said Bosch. “In the past

we’ve cleared and main-tained skating areas on the retention pond, but that’s been challenging because of a lot of factors. Last year the guys noticed a lo of shifting in the ice because the tem-perature was so variable, and we were struggling to get a good flood. “This year we’ve decid-ed to level a patch of ground near the pond so we can draw water for flooding from the pond, but we don’t have to contend with the shifting ice.” Bosch said the city will still clear snow and main-tain the ice on the canal that connects two retention ponds in Kinsmen Park. The canal has a footbridge that passes over it. Bosch said the depth of the water in the canal is only about four feet deep so it tends to freeze quite solid and is not subject to as much ice shift-ing as the pond itself.

“The canal from Kelly’s pond to the pond on the east side of 10th Avenue is not re-ally an issue,”’ said Bosch. “At some point we’ll like-ly open that up for people if they want to skate on it be-cause it’s a neat experience to go under the bridge.” McGonigal said the parks personnel will begin flood-ing the outdoor rinks in Warman once the weath-er turns consistently cold enough. He noted many thin floods are needed to create a strong, thick base, and a single unseasonably mild day can undo many days of work involved in preparing that base. “We watch the forecast for a stretch of cold days. Once we get started, we’ll work around the clock to get it ready,” said McGonigal. “I’m hopeful we’ll have the outdoor rinks ready to go in time for the Christmas break.”

With the recent mild temperatures in Saskatchewan, the Ministry of Environment is reminding people to make sure there is sufficient ice for your safety if you plan on going onto the ice for ice fishing or other activities. Ice thickness depends on the water body and the sur-rounding conditions. Ice does not freeze at a uniform thick-ness and ice strength can vary considerably from one area to another. It is important to test the ice thickness before you travel on it. There should be at least 10 cm (4”) of ice to walk on, 15 cm (6”) to drive a snowmobile or ATV on, 20 cm (8”) to drive a car or light truck on, and 30 cm (12”) to drive a heavy truck on. The ice thickness is a guideline; it is up to individuals to make a decision about whether to venture onto the ice. Any activity on ice comes with a risk Ice thickness also cannot be the sole measure of whether it is safe to go on. Clear, hard ice is the only ice that is recommended to travel on. Avoid ice that is: Slushy in appearance; Ice that has thawed then froze again; Ice near moving water; Layered ice caused by sudden temperature changes. Also, stay away from structures on ice such as pressure ridges.

Watch for danger signs when heading out on ice

Chocolate fundraiser gives Valley Manor School a sweet boostBy TERRY [email protected] The gym at Valley Manor School was never designed to host an assembly for over 700 students, but once in a while there’s a good reason to pack the kids in. Like last week, when it was time to hand out the prizes to the lucky winners of the school’s big chocolate fundraising drive. The only other occasion was the first day of school back in Sep-tember. “Yeah, there’s not a lot of room when the whole stu-dent body files in here,” said Valley Manor Vice-Princi-pal Michael Cox after the as-sembly on Friday, December 4. “Our school enrolment is actually over 750, but we didn’t have the kindergarten kids involved, so they’re not at the assembly. We didn’t really have the room, any-way.” Cox said the kids were ex-cited. They’re not the only ones. The school’s communi-ty council, which is raising money to go toward revamp-ing the playground for the Grades 3-5 students on the east side of the building, is also pumped. Last year, the playground for the Grades 6-8 kids was completed. “The new 3-5 playground will take a few years of fundraising before it’s fin-ished,” said Cox in an inter-view. “It’s a long-term proj-ect.” In the meantime, the school community coun-cil is also putting money to-

Delisle barrel racing sensation bound for Texas By HILARY [email protected] Renie Schnitzler is mak-ing waves in the barrel-rac-ing world, both in Canada and in the U.S. Most recently, this amaz-ing young woman placed second overall at the Cana-dian Western Agribition. In October, Schnitzler placed in the American Qualifi-er in Silesia, Montana, with her 99 Goldmine horse, Fast-ball. This means the 20 year old Delisle resident will be heading to Texas in Febru-ary for the American Rodeo Semi-Finals in Fort Worth. She grew into the sport quite naturally. “My parents had hors-es and my mom was a bar-rel racer and I kind of grew up with barrel racing,” said Schnitzler. But she said she does it now not because she grew up with it, but because it’s her passion. Her sis-ter did it too, but stopped 10 years ago. “It takes a lot of time and hard work. It’s not very easy,” she said. Schnitzler started out in the Kakeyow Cowboys Ro-deo Association (KCRA) and did really well as a peewee and then moved up into ju-niors for a couple of years. “It was a really good place to start, with a lot of small-er rodeos in more of an ama-teur association.” Then she made the tran-sition to the Canadian Cow-boys Association. “I didn’t find success in that for a

long time, but I kept going. And finally, it worked out. And here I am today!” she said. In 2013, Schnitzler was the Saskatchewan Barrel Rac-ing Association (SBRA) re-serve champion. In 2014 she was the SBRA provincial fi-nals champion. This year she was the 2015 Warman CCA Rodeo champion and finished her 2015 CCA sea-son in second place. Schnitzler said she’s prob-ably been to 50 events this summer. Traveling to com-petitions is a major commit-ment. “On the weekends you do a lot of miles - between 2,000 to 10,000 miles a weekend.” They travel a lot to Manito-ba and Alberta, sometimes on the same weekend. “You pull up somewhere, you have to leave some-where right after the purse and then you have to drive all night to get somewhere. You have to like the miles or you have to really love the sport to be in the vehicle that long,” she said. Schnitzler took Fastball to Agribition, and he’s going to Texas as well. Typical-ly, in this climate, her hors-es get a break in January and February. Fastball will get a couple of weeks off and then she’ll start riding him again. “We’ll go down to Texas the beginning of February to get them acclimatized, and go ride at the arena, and

maybe go to a couple of jack-pots so we can get start get-ting back into our running shape,” she said. Jackpots are one of several types of barrel races. Others are fu-turities which involve hors-es five years old and under, and of course rodeos. Schnitzler has other hors-es besides Fastball, two of which got her to CCA finals in Regina. The horse she uses depends on where she’s racing. One horse is better

Renie Schnitzler of Delisle has gained tremendous success in Canadian barrel-racing both provincially and nationally, and will soon be preparing to race in the American Rodeo Semi-finals in Texas.

outdoors where there’s no walls. Fastball is doing his first year rodeoing. “And my other horse does every-thing else that I didn’t want to take the other two to,” she said. Barrel racers measure their pattern based on the size of the arena. One of the challenges of racing is bal-ancing the tension between being a perfectionist and be-ing fast. “It’s hard for me to build

that drive to be fast because I’m a perfectionist and laid back. So I really have to try to get myself pumped up be-cause it’s a race and you’ve got to go fast to win.” Part of Schnitzler’s suc-cess is having great hors-es that have helped get her where she is. These are not average horses. “They’re quarter horses that are very talented genet-ically and they have very good training too.”

Schnitzler has grown to really love various aspects of the sport. “It’s an adrenalin rush and I love the bond between the horse and myself, just getting them to love it and want to be the best that they can for you,” she said. “They have their own mind, and they can do what they want, so having them want to do it is the best part. “And how fast they are.”

By MACKENZIE [email protected] The Prairie Outlaws haven’t lost a game so far, but they are current-ly fourth in the Fort Carl-ton Hockey League (FCHL) standings with a 3-3 record. Their first three wins were nullified because the team had two ineligi-ble players playing in those games. In addition, Out-laws manager Darrell Epp

has been suspended for one month, as he was in charge of player registration. Before the season began, the two players, Brett Blatz and Jeremy Margeson, had tried out for the Universi-ty of Saskatchewan (U of S) hockey team but they didn’t make the roster. So when the Outlaws had their try-outs, they thought those two players were eligible to play in the FCHL since they

Prairie Outlaws’ perfect record out the window as first three wins nullified weren’t playing for the uni-versity team at the time, ac-cording to Ron Schultz, a Prairie Outlaws representa-tive. Apparently, the players’ names were still on the U of S hockey team’s list and they were not released from the team, and the play-ers were unaware of that, Schultz added. “It was nothing willful on our part and it was nothing

willful on their (the players) part,” Schultz said. After the game against the Shellbrook Elks on Novem-ber 21, the Saskatchewan Hockey Association (SHA) notified the Prairie Out-laws and said that Margeson and Blatz couldn’t be on the team because they were still on the U of S hockey team’s list. Schultz said once the Out-laws became aware of the

situation they then got the proper documents from the university stating that Blatz and Margeson were official-ly no longer with the team, and that they are eligible to play in the FCHL. The SHA suspended Epp, which was in effect a few days after the Shellbrook game, as they felt he should have done more research to make sure that the play-ers were eligible to play,

Schultz said, adding it was the FCHL’s decision to nulli-fy those three wins and fine the team, as well as to dis-regard the points earned by Blatz and Margeson in those games. FCHL president Ray Bau-man declined to comment on the situation. Schultz said the team has moved on from the whole or-deal and is just focused on the rest of the season.

NEXT IS NOW

By MACKENZIE [email protected] The Hague High School Panthers football team rec-ognized its players with an awards banquet on Thurs-day, November 26 at Hague High School. Even though the night was meant for team recog-nition, it was also a night to thank the parents and sponsors for their dedi-cation and support to the team as well. “We want to thank the parents as well and the sponsors and all of them for everything they do, because without them we’d never be able to have a team because it’s so expensive,” Coach Clay Kirby said. He also added that the parents help a lot with the fundraising and he is also grateful to them for allow-ing their children to be away from home so much and understanding the ded-ication it takes to play foot-ball. All three coaches, Kir-by, Kim Schau and Tom Mufford gave out awards to players which included - Special Teams Player of the Year, Mr. Panther Award, PJ Mufford Award, Most Improved Player, Linemen of the Year, Best Defensive Player, Best Offensive Play-er and Most Valuable Play-er. The Special Teams Play-er of the Year was a new award for this season and since they didn’t have it last year, the coaches rec-ognized Brenten Fehr, who led the team in special

team tackles last year. For 2015 though, the award was co-shared as the coaches couldn’t just pick one play-er. The award went to kick-er Dalton Deprez who had a great season at the position, according to Kirby, and James Thiessen, who was always reliable when called upon to return kicks. The Mr. Panther award went to Jackson Warnock, as the award usually goes to a player who perseveres under the toughest circum-stances. Kirby noted that Warnock overcame injuries throughout his four years of football, including this year, but he kept with the

sport and always gave his best effort. The PJ Mufford Award went to Jayden Heinrichs. Kirby said he always had a positive attitude and was willing to do anything to help the team. Carter Fehr won the Most Improved Player award. Coach Mufford presented the award and said Fehr dominated every position they asked him to play, as well as improving from the previous year. Lineman of the Year went to Jaxon Funk, who accord-ing to coach Schau stood out on offence and defence. He played mostly offense,

which Schau thought he ex-celled at. Brady Unger won Best Defensive Player for the second straight year and Schau mentioned he worked hard, made great tackles and interceptions throughout the year. Quarterback Devin Fehr and running back Riley Reese shared the Best Of-fensive Player Award. The coaches thought both play-ers were exceptional ath-

letes and contributed to the offence in a huge way. Ken Wiebe earned Most Valuable Player honours. Kirby said he was always focused and worked hard, even in practice. He was also a good teammate as he knew what everybody’s

responsibility was on the field, Kirby mentioned. The awards banquet was also a way to show appreci-ation to the Grade 12 play-ers for the years they put into the program and for the team to celebrate the season.

Warman High School presented ‘Wonder-land! The Musical Misadventures of a Girl named Alice’ on December 1-4. The upbeat ad-aptation based on the novel ‘Through the Looking Glass’ by Lewis Carroll was deliv-ered with great enthusiasm by a cast of 13 members of the drama club. The coming-of-age story touched on friendships and how unusual situations can help you grow. Chelsea Doerksen played the ti-tle role of Alice, a girl trying to become a queen and experiencing several ad-ventures on her way to accomplishing that goal. Doerksen did a great job of ex-pressing the roller coaster of emotions experienced by Alice. The role also gave

the audience a chance to enjoy the great range of her singing ability. To show the

talent runs in the family, her youngest sis-ter Hayley Doerksen also performed a riv-eting solo. While the play had some of the fa-miliar characters of the original sto-ry, it also introduced some new ones including a baseball team, a train conductor, star-struck tourists, and

Its hip-hop-ping music including toe-tapping renditions of “Jabberwocky”, “The Walrus and the Carpenter”, and a real favorite by Hump-ty Dumpty and the Dixie Chickens, “I Was a Good Egg But Then I Done Went Bad”. With the exception of the role of Alice, the other members of the cast; Bree Pet-kau, Adam Parenteau, Jonny MacPherson, Darian Neil, Alison Forsberg, Brenna Ba-gnell, Hayley Doerksen, Brooke Blackmon, Kennedy Simonson, Phoebe Petkau, Ayshia Guenther, and Halley Barker performed in multiple roles, giving them plenty of oppor-tunity to display their talents; a task they ac-complished with great enthusiasm. A total of 1200 students from Warman and Osler enjoyed the performances, with the ap-pearance of Humpty Dumpty played by Ay-shia Guenther being a real highlight for the younger audiences. During intermissions at evening perfor-mances the audience was able to enjoy a birthday cake in honour of Alice, as 2015 is the 150th anniversary of the writing of “Through the Looking Glass.” The perfor-mance offered a modern take on a real clas-sic and was enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

Fall Legislative Session Focused on Keeping Saskatchewan Strong In a global market that is more complex and con-nected than any in history, the foundation of our econ-omy is more important than ever. Fortunately, Sas-katchewan has created one of the most diversified economies in Canada – able to take a punch on the commodity market and keep moving forward. This is a big change from a decade ago when a slowdown would drive people, jobs and investment out of the province. The fall legislative session focused on keeping Sas-katchewan strong and moving forward. The govern-ment is doing its part to keep the economy strong by continuing to invest in needed infrastructure. Since the session began, we have opened the new hospital in Moose Jaw, new health facilities in Saskatoon, Biggar, Maple Creek, Kerrobert and Canora and a long-term care expansion in Tisdale. We opened the new school in Hudson Bay, major ad-ditions at Holy Cross and George Vanier schools in Saskatoon, the expansion of the Queen Elizabeth Pow-er Station in Saskatoon, a new Headstart on a Home housing project in Prince Albert, a new group home for persons with intellectual disabilities in Regina, the new Parkland Trades and Technologies Centre in Yorkton, and a number of completed highways proj-ects including the Estevan Bypass. At the same time, planning is continuing on the Vic-toria Hospital in Prince Albert and work is underway on the new Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon, the new Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford, the Re-gina Bypass, 18 new schools (including Warman and Martensville) and a number of other important proj-ects all over Saskatchewan. During the session, our government passed a num-ber of pieces of legislation, including: · A new essential services law to protect Saskatche-wan people in the event of a public sector strike; · A new farmland ownership law to clearly define who can purchase farmland in Saskatchewan and pre-vent pension plans from buying farmland; · A new conflict of interest law for municipalities; · A new procurement law to ensure Saskatchewan taxpayers receive the best value for money when gov-ernment contracts are awarded; and · New legislation to give patients the option to pay for a private Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan in Saskatchewan. During the fall sitting, our government also an-nounced its intention to create 52 more private liquor stores in Saskatchewan while updating the liquor per-mitting and price system to put all retailers on a level playing field.

New Emergency Department Waits Target Announced The issues that affect emergency department waits are complex but our government has affirmed its com-mitment to significantly reduce wait times in hospital emergency departments, establishing a new target of a 60 per cent reduction in wait times by 2019. Teams have been working together to identify the root causes of hospital overcrowding and develop and implement plans to improve access to care in pre-hos-pital primary care settings, services in hospital and services in the community after a patient leaves hospi-tal. The 2015-16 provincial budget provided $4.7 million to support the effort to reduce emergency department waits. Ongoing initiatives to lower emergency de-partment waits include Connecting to Care (hotspot-ting), Police and Crisis Team (PACT) in Regina and Saskatoon, and Seniors House Calls. This effort will involve co-ordination across the health system but I am confident we will be able to achieve this new, ambitious target.

Report from theLegislature

Nancy Heppner MLAMARTENSVILLE CONSTITUENCY

Orphan Annie tugs at the heartstringsBy TERRY [email protected] Little Orphan Annie is still as sweet and mischie-vous as ever. And her heart-of-gold character shines through in Venture Heights School’s production of the timeless musical, ‘Annie’, ably di-rected by teacher Craig Chase and performed De-cember 8 and 9 in front of capacity crowds. This is the fourth year the elementary school has staged a musical, and for many of the veteran stu-dent actors in Grade 8, there’s a bittersweet taste with this one. “I’m really excited and nervous,” said Kaelyn Coulthard, who portrays the title character in the production and shoulders most of the singing, danc-ing and acting load. “But I’m also a little sad because this is the last one I get to be involved in. It’s just been so much fun, and I’ve learned a lot.” Two other Grade 8 stu-dents: Connor Hamelin, who plays Oliver Warbucks; and Kate Jalbert, who plays Warbucks’ secretary, Grace Farrell, both agree that while the four-a-day re-hearsals were challenging, they benefited from the di-rection of the teachers who put so much time and ef-fort into the play. The cho-reography, costumes, light-ing, background music and stage design all set the moods for a fast-paced, sin-gle-act play. The young actors have been working on this since the beginning of the school year, and their commit-ment and hard work paid off. The students showed mu-sical talent beyond their years in their renditions of such classics as “It’s a hard knock life”, “Tomorrow” and “Little Girls.” The story revolves around Little Orphan An-nie’s escape from a din-gy orphanage run by the shady Miss Hannigan (Emma Ens) and her even-tual adoption by the kind-ly Oliver Warbucks after she learns her real parents have died. But in the mean-time, she has to escape the clutches of the schem-ing Miss Hannigan and her charmingly-seedy partners: Rooster Hannigan (Rylan Gabruck) and Lily St. Re-gis Kaylee Gerbrandt). The young actors do a great job conveying the social di-vide between rich and poor

in 1930s New York, wheth-er it’s the witty brashness of street-wise toughs or the urbane dignity of a million-aire philanthropist. There’s a Christmas theme in Annie that fits the season well, and this play is a real treat for au-diences. Music Direc-tors Tanya Robertson and Amy-Leigh Thiessen; and Choreography directors Ni-cole Lacoursiere and Ally-sa Brewster deserve a hand for their great efforts.

TAURUS April 20– May 20Taurus, motivation may not be strong this week, so begin with some menial tasks around the house and build up to bigger plans. Eventually you will find a groove.

GEMINI May 21– June 21Try to avoid focusing on just one issue for too long. Sometimes you simply must trust your instincts and forge ahead anyway. Let past experience guide you this week.

CANCER June 22– July 22Cancer, avoid the temptation to take on too many respon-sibilities this week. If you don’t, you might not get much done. Think before you accept more work.

LEO July 23– August 22Financial matters are looming and a decision must be made. Don’t be overcome with anxiety, as all you need to do is examine your finances to come up with a solution.

VIRGO August 23– September 22Spontaneity beckons, Virgo, even though you are a care-ful planner who puts a lot of thought into your decisions. Overthinking is more hassle than it’s worth this week.

LIBRA September 23– October 22Someone may catch you off guard this week, Libra. This person will bring a welcome surprise, so look forward to this unexpected encounter.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21Back up your promises with decisive action. That’s the only way to prove to others that you are committed to honouring your commitments.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21There may be more to the big picture than you are seeing. Gather the facts before you jump to any conclusions. You may just see things from a different perspective.

Careers & Employment After kicking off the 2016 season on the road in

Calgary against the Roughnecks on January 2, the defending National Lacrosse League (NLL) champions Saskatchewan Rush play their first home game on Friday, January 15 against the Vancouver Stealth. The Rush will hit the turf for the first time at SaskTel Centre with a lineup that features a host of 2015 NLL award nominees in MVP candidate Mark Matthews, Goalie of the Year front-runner Aaron Ward, sure-bet Rookie of the Year Ben Mc-Intosh, and a pair of nominees for Defensive Play-er of the Year in Kyle Rubisch and team captain Chris Corbeil. Matthews, a former NLL Rookie of the Year, is coming off a superb 2015 season that saw him fin-ish second in league scoring with 115 points, be-come one of only a handful of players in the NLL’s exclusive 50/100 club (50 goals and 100 points in a single season), and claim the Champion’s Cup MVP award as he led the Rush to the title with 27 points in the playoffs. The Rush roster also boast returning playoff he-roes Robert Church, Zack Greer, and Matthew Dinsdale plus a great supporting cast of talented players led by Jarrett Davis, Jeremy Thompson, and Ryan Dilks. The Rush are led by General Manager/Head Coach Derek Keenan, who is nominated for his fourth Les Bartley Award as the NLL Coach of the Year honor. Keenan, who recently signed a new two-year deal, is also a three-time GM of the Year. The Rush’s first home game against Vancouver launches a three-week, three-game homestand for Saskatchewan. The following week, the Rush will take on an-other perennially tough West Division foe when the Colorado Mammoth stampede into Saskatche-wan. The homestand rounds out with the first vis-it of theseason from the Roughnecks. Calgary’s roster features Shawn Evans, who established a new NLL single-season scoring record last year with 130 points. At the end February, the Rush will host two straight weekend matchups against rivals from the NLL’s East Division as the Rochester Knight-hawks and Buffalo Bandits come calling. The Rush’s 2015 NLL championship ended Rochester’s three-year reign atop the league but the Knight-hawks still have one of the best rosters in the league. Buffalo boasts one of the NLL’s top shoot-ers in Ryan Benesch, who led the NLL with 58 goals last year.

Monday at 12 p.m.

Saskatchewan conve-nience store retailers are praising the Government of Saskatchewan following the release of a study showing the province has the low-est rate of illegal tobacco in western Canada. The Western Convenience Stores Association com-missioned a contraband to-bacco study which exam-ined discarded cigarette butts at 30 sites through-out Saskatchewan to deter-mine if illegal (contraband) cigarettes were being pur-chased and smoked. Sam-ples were gathered between September 20th and Octo-ber 10th, 2015. The average rate of illegal tobacco use at sites tested across Saskatchewan was 9.5%. In British Columbia the rate was 15%; in Man-itoba the rate was 12.7%; and in Alberta it was 9.8%. “Saskatchewan has a rel-atively low tobacco tax rate and it does not regulate fla-voured tobacco,” said An-drew Klukas, President of the Western Convenience Stores Association (WCSA). “We believe these two fac-

tors are helping to keep the illegal tobacco rate lower in Saskatchewan than in other western provinces.” Saskatchewan’s rate was also much lower in high schools compared to other provinces. The WCSA sam-pled more high schools in Saskatchewan (per capi-ta) than any other western province. The average in Saskatchewan was 6.3% il-legal tobacco rate. Contraband tobacco is sold without mandated health warnings on packages and without age-verification checks. Increased taxes and regulations drive the tobac-co market underground, meaning these products are both more affordable and accessible to youth. Accord-ing to the RCMP, illegal to-bacco is also linked with organized crime, thereby impacting local safety. “We must continue to be vigilant,” said Klukas. “It’s clear the illegal tobac-co trade is growing across the West and Saskatchewan should consider fine-tuning their enforcement provi-sions.”

Saskatchewan has lowest illegal tobacco rate

Martensville lions food haMper donationThe Martensville Christmas Hamper Program, an annual Christmas tradition, received a mon-etary donation from the Martensville and District Lions Club on Wednesday, December 2. A cheque for $500 was presented to the Martensville Fire Department. Martensville Fire Depart-ment Deputy Chief Dean Brooman and Firefighter James Taylor accept a $500 cheque for the Christmas food hamper drive from Martensville and District Lions Club President Syl Serblow-ski (right) and members Geoff Passy and Carol Conrad (Photo submitted)

The provincial govern-ment’s decision to cut mil-lions in funding from post-secondary education and health care in order to off-set a budget deficit is short sighted and undermines public services that Sas-katchewan families rely on, according to the Ssakatch-ewan Government and General Employees Union (SGEU). Among the institutions af-fected by these clawbacks are Saskatchewan Polytech-nic, Gabriel Dumont Insti-

tute and the seven Regional Colleges. “At a time when we are experiencing a skilled la-bour shortage, it doesn’t make sense to cut skills training,” said SGEU Presi-dent Bob Bymoen. “It’s counter-productive to cut funding from insti-tutions that provide job-fo-cused training to people and get them into the work force.” “We don’t yet know the impact these cuts will have,” he added, “but we an-

Job cuts in health, education hurt: SGEUticipate they’ll lead to pro-gram cuts, which will hurt young people trying to get the training they need.” The Saskatoon Health Re-gion has also announced a plan that will erode health services and cut jobs, leav-ing many families con-cerned about job losses dur-ing the holidays. These cuts are a sign of things to come if the pro-vincial government moves ahead with its plan to close 40 public liquor stores, says Bymoen.

Ski trails just waiting for snowfallBy TERRY [email protected] Cross-country skiers can take to the trails again this winter in both Martensville and Warman. Just as soon as the snow comes, that is. Both cities have plans to lay cross-country ski trails again this year, according to civic officials. Warman’s trails will be laid out at the Legends Golf Course, while the location of the trails in Martensville has yet to be decided. “The City of Warman has a track-setter to make the cross-country trails, and the staff at the Legends Golf Club actually are the ones that lay out the trails and provide maintenance on them,” said Warman Recreation and Communi-ty Services Manager Paul McGonigal. “The city sup-plies the equipment, the sig-nage and the fuel, and the golf club employees lay out the tracks because they know best the areas they want people to keep away from; the danger areas, downslopes and so on..” McGonigal said as soon as there is enough snow and the trails are set, notices will be posted on the city’s website. The City of Martensville contracts with a private in-dividual who owns his own equipment for track-set-ting. Martensville Director of Recreation and Commu-nity Services Dave Bosch said the trails through Kins-men Park were well-used last year, but there was a problem due to snowmobiles periodically wrecking the trails. “The city bylaws prohib-it the operation of snowmo-biles in city-owned parks,” said Bosch. “But enforce-ment is a challenge. “People are not supposed to use the parks for snow-mobiles or quads. The bylaw states that they should exit the city by the most direct route possible but also avoid main streets and parks.” McGonigal noted that snowmobiles also pose a problem in many parks in Warman, where a similar bylaw prohibiting motor-ized sleds and quads in pub-lic parks is in place. He said having the cross-country ski trails on the golf course helps to ensure the trails are not destroyed. “It’s a closed environ-ment,” said McGonigal. “There are absolutely no snowmobiles allowed any-where on the golf course grounds.”
