clark's crossing gazette - january 14, 2016

A white-breasted nuthatch clings to a snow-covered branch in Warman as it searches for its breakfast during a cold snap last week. Nuthatches are agile little birds that often turn upside down and sideways on vertical surfaces as they forage for seeds and insects. They get their common name from their habit of jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark, then whacking them with their sharp bill to “hatch” out the seed from the inside.

‘MyStop’ tracks school bus location through GPSBy HILARY [email protected] Bus drivers with the Prai-rie Spirit School Division (PSSD) have been enjoy-ing the benefits of GPS tech-nology as they travel their routes since it was imple-mented in 2014. Now the school division has initiated a pilot project called “MyStop,” which al-lows parents to track the progress of the school bus as it nears their house. “The MyStop program is being piloted in two schools right now which provides parents/students with de-tails on the anticipated ar-rival time of the bus to their stop,” said Brenda Erickson, PSSD communications con-sultant.

The two schools participat-ing in the pilot are Dundurn School and Hanley Compos-ite School. School trustees heard an update on GPS bus functionality as well as My-Stop as part of a Transpor-tation Strategic Directions Update, at their board meet-ing on January 11. The pilot project will as-sist PSSD in evaluating the usefulness and benefits of MyStop. It will garner feed-back from parents about the program and determine the best method of providing families with their specific stop information, according to Erickson. “As well, we need to de-termine if the technology works in the various areas as it uses cell phone towers

to obtain the data and then communicate the informa-tion to the individual fami-ly via a mobile APP or web-site,” she said. When winter tempera-

tures dip into the major mi-nuses and the risk of wind chill becomes a factor, the potential benefits of MyStop are heart-warming. Parents will be able to gauge when

to send their kids out for the bus. James Shields, Chief Fi-nancial Officer for PSSD said they anticipate that the majority of the time it will be the students who will be the ones using MyStop. The goal of the pilot proj-ect is to uncover a process that is as seamless to ad-minister as possible, Erick-son said. It will help PSSD identify what resources they need to facilitate a timely process. So far, parents have reported a bit of lag time on MyStop which the school di-vision is working on. PSSD anticipates being ready to implement the pro-gram for all students by the end of this school year, or the start of the next school

Local non-profit group prepares for ownership of Langham Care HomeBy TERRY [email protected] The Langham Care Home is transitioning from a pri-vately-owned facility to one that will be owned and oper-ated by a locally-based char-itable, non-profit organiza-tion. But the 28 elderly resi-dents of the home and the 50 staff members won’t notice any difference in the day-to-day operations when the new arrangement kicks in on April 1. “We’re undertaking a whole lot of work to make a whole of changes so that ev-erything stays the same,” said Conrad Jantzen, admin-istrator of the Langham Se-nior Citizens Home, soon to be known as the Langham Care Home. “The residents will still be able to call this their home, and the staff will still have their jobs. We don’t anticipate any chang-es.” In fact, about the only vis-ible difference will be the formal title of the facili-ty, and it’s been informal-ly known by that name for many years anyway, noted Jantzen in an interview on Thursday, January 7. One less-visible difference will be an enhanced level of community involvement in the care home, a facili-ty which not only provides a much-needed service but is also the town’s biggest em-ployer. “The transition process has really opened a door of opportunity for us to have a local, community-based group take over the orga-nizational structure of the home and move it forward under charitable, non-prof-

it status,” said Jantzen. “Under the current own-ership structure, which is private ownership, that was not possible.” Jantzen said the transi-tion process began about a year and a half ago. An agreement was reached in 2015 between the cur-rent owners and the re-cently-formed Langham Care Home Incorporated (LCHI) group to transfer ownership of the home. April 1, 2016 has been set as the target date for the new ownership group to take over. Jantzen and the LCHI group have established by-laws for the new organiza-tion and applied to the prov-ince for non-profit status for LCHI. They have also ap-plied to the federal govern-ment for charitable status.Over the next few months, the new ownership group is inviting individuals and organizations in Langham and area to become involved as members and investors. “We are reaching out to lo-cal businesses, community organizations and church-es to become organization-al members, so that we have a good foundational struc-ture,” said Jantzen. “We want this home to be around for many years to come, and having the involvement of organizations that are strongly rooted in this com-munity is really important when it comes to making up the care home’s board of di-rectors.” The history of the facili-ty stretches back several de-cades. Originally a private care home, it underwent a major expansion in the ear-

ly 1970s to its current ca-pacity of 28 beds. The facili-ty was purchased in 1986 by the present owners. In the early 1990s, all 28 beds were classified as long-term care beds. During the ensuing years, some beds were tran-sitioned back to private care beds, putting the Langham Care Home in a unique posi-tion of being able to accom-modate residents with dif-fering levels of needs in the same room. This has been particularly welcomed by married couples, who oth-erwise would have been obliged to live in separate accommodations. While it was originally es-tablished as a for-profit busi-ness venture, it is essen-tially run as a not-for-profit operation at present, and will move forward as a non-profit, charitable organiza-tion, noted Jantzen. “The current owners have basically considered it a philanthropic venture for many years, but they’re looking to move to a new ar-rangement now,” he said.

“They’ve been very gener-ous and supportive of this community initiative.” Jantzen said in the pro-cess of setting up the new non-profit corporation, he’s consulted extensively with other nursing homes in the Saskatoon Health Region. “They have all been very supportive and helpful,” he said. “What sets this home apart from most of the oth-ers is that they were estab-lished by, and are operated by, church organizations. “We have carefully thought that through and have opted to lean more heavily on a broad base of community organizations and individual members, be-cause this is a very commu-nity-oriented facility and we want to maintain that char-acter. Also, it’s a big com-mitment for any one organi-zation such as a church, or even the town itself, to take on in addition to their ex-isting responsibilities. We already have strong par-ticipation from many de-nominations and we want to

continue to encourage that.” Once the ownership tran-sition is completed, the new

board of directors will ex-plore options for the future of the home, said Jantzen.

MCC sponsor groups step up to help Syrian refugeesBy HILARY [email protected] Private sponsorship groups through the Men-nonite Central Committee (MCC) in Saskatchewan are responding admirably to the Syrian refugee crisis. Groups are coming for-ward to meet the increased demand for refugee place-ment. The MCC has been fa-cilitating refugee sponsors since 1979, so this is nothing new for the relief organiza-tion. “We have a long histo-ry of being involved in ref-ugee sponsorship,” said Leona Lortie, communica-tions associate with MCC in Saskatoon. “We used to do a good number of them annu-ally but in the last couple of years it had really dropped off.” These days they typical-ly do about four to five spon-sorships a year with differ-ent church or community groups. But with the Syrian

refugee crisis, that number has really jumped up. “So far, just since Sep-tember, we’ve had over 20 groups come forward,” said Lortie. The actual number is somewhere between 20 and 25, depending on where the group is at in the actual process of being committed to sponsorship. “It’s quite the increase and the community has respond-ed really well and is very compassionate and wants to be involved. It’s really en-couraging for us to see how Saskatoon and Saskatche-wan have stepped up, and we’re just one of the organi-zations,” said Lortie. Sponsorship involves a year-long commitment which begins by meeting the family at the airport. It extends to many practical elements of adjusting to life in Canada, from getting gro-ceries, finding housing and home furnishings, access to language training, help

with finances, navigating the health care system and working through children sometimes, to help parents get used to Canadian soci-ety. With MCC, sponsorship consists of a church or com-munity group of five indi-viduals who commit to raise or pull together the funds. Each group also offers their refugee family friendship and emotional support. “While the legal sponsor-ship lasts a year, the rela-tionships that are formed are often transforming and everlasting,” said Lortie. Throughout the stages of the sponsorship process, MCC provides the sponsors with training opportunities and support. The number of refugees MCC is able to receive is limited only by the number of people that want to spon-sor, according to Lortie. The Canadian government prom-ised 10,000 refugees would

be here by the end of 2015. “Our numbers are includ-ed in those figures from the government. A lot of those numbers were actually pri-vate sponsorships. So then, it was just a matter of the groups and the sponsorships that are already set up, of fi-nalizing them. We had al-ready done a lot of the work and we just continue to do the work,” said Lortie. Possibly the largest reset-tlement project undertaken by MCC to date was when 70,000 refugees from South-east Asia were resettled here. But MCC’s response to the Syrian refugee crisis is their largest-ever humani-tarian effort. In Syria, Iraq and surrounding countries, MCC has 27 ongoing proj-ects that deliver emergency relief. Resettling refugees here helps ease the pressure of aid in these conflict-rid-den areas. “We’re just real-

ly grateful for all the peo-ple that have committed to sponsor a family,” said Lortie.

MCC groups have not yet welcomed Syrian families, but they anticipate that this will happen soon.

With millions of Syri-ans in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey in urgent need of assistance, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) welcomes an extension to the Canadian government’s Syria Emergency Relief Fund. The extension, which now runs until February 29, was announced January 7 in Ot-tawa by the Honourable Ma-rie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of International Develop-ment and La Francophonie. For every eligible dollar donated by individual Ca-nadians to registered Cana-dian charities in response to the conflict in Syria, the government will continue to set aside one dollar—up to a total of $100 million—to the Fund. “We welcome the exten-sion of the government matching program for Syr-ia,” says Jim Cornelius, Ex-

ecutive Director of Canadi-an Foodgrains Bank. “While we are encour-aged by the generosity of so many Canadians and con-gregations who are help-ing to sponsor Syrian refu-gees to come to Canada, it is also vital that Canadians continue to remember and support the millions of dis-placed Syrians still living in the region who need our as-sistance. Finding resourc-es to support displaced fam-ilies inside Syria and those who have fled to surround-ing countries is more urgent that ever.” Since 2012, the Foodgrains Bank has provided over $30 million of assistance to Syr-ian refugees living in Leba-non and Jordan, as well as people inside Syria. Through the Fund, the Government of Canada will provide assistance through international and Canadian

Foodgrains Bank applauds relief fundhumanitarian organizations to help meet basic human-itarian needs of people af-fected by the conflict in Syr-ia, including shelter, food, health care and water. It will also provide protection and education for conflict-affected people in Syria and millions of refugees in Jor-dan, Lebanon and Turkey. Minister Bibeau made the announcement along with

representatives from Cana-dian Foodgrains Bank, the Canadian Red Cross, CARE Canada, Development and Peace, Oxfam Canada, Plan Canada, Save the Children Canada, UNICEF Canada and World Vision Canada.

Anna Peters was present-ed with Osler’s 2015 Citizen of the Year award in late De-cember. In presenting Anna with her award, Osler Mayor Ben Buhler gave the following presentation: “In the early years when Osler had the red fire phone in the Fire Chief’s house, Anna answered a lot of fire calls (and/or wrong num-ber calls). Her husband was the town maintenance per-son at the time and many folks would phone the house

regarding town work. She answered many calls, and some, as one can well imag-ine, were not of a pleasant nature. “Anna served on the Li-brary Board in Osler for a number of years and during that time she sewed many denim book bags which she crafted from used denim jeans – using the good qual-ity parts of course. These book bags were used for Li-brary fundraising. Anna was also involved with Meals on Wheels, when the

program was operating in Osler. “Because Anna drove a school bus for over 20 years, there are many students who will still fondly remem-ber her for her kindness and caring. Individual students have been known to knock on her door bearing their own hand-made gifts. “Anna’s flower gardens are on the yearly kinder-garten nature walk through Osler – and the children are encouraged to take home se-lections of flowers for bou-

quets….of course free of charge. The rest of us get to admire and enjoy the riot of colours displayed by her flower beds each spring and summer. Lilies down to the pansies, she always com-plains she can’t get to grow in the flower beds but self-seed on the outside edges.She goes about quietly help-ing anyone where a need be; not wanting or expect-ing anything in return. She is a person one can count on, whether to listen to one’s woes or just have a friendly chat. When folks from out-side of Canada move into our area, she is there to act as a chauffeur, an interpret-er, or a person they could call on for any kind of help/information. She has helped some of the newcomers

learn the English language. “How many seniors can boast about spending days (&nights) in the maternity ward and being joyful about not being the one leaving with the new bundle! Not once but twice! Thus she be-came the adopted ‘grand-mother’ to our café owners’ children. “For many years after she was no longer on staff at the local café they kept her phone number on the1-800 please help dial. And she would drop everything and quickly walk over to lend a hand, all they had to do was ask. “As our community has celebrated its many events, one could always see Anna helping in any capacity she could. There has been

the making of Rollkuchen for the Pioneers’ fundrais-ers, and the soap making, just to mention a couple. I do not think she can count the many, many blankets she has sewn over the years for the MCC Blanket Mak-ing. How about the number of denim blankets that have been sewn? “You can find Anna volun-teering still, at the Warman Thrift Store, sorting cloth-ing. She is known as ‘tante Ann’ to many children, some because she is actu-ally their aunt. But also to others because their friends call her Tante Ann, so she has become their Aunt as well. Maybe, in part due to the cookies she loves to bake, and they, of course love to eat!”

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

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

Without trying to be over-ly harsh, the news we are again losing our young peo-ple to Alberta is likely less of a surprising development to rural Saskatchewan than it is to the province as a whole. After all, most of rural Saskatchewan never quite had the same reprieve from this trend that the cities enjoyed a few years back. (The exception being, small-er cities like Kindersley, Weyburn and Estevan that were at the heart of the oil boom and likely benefitted most from it.) Rural residents; especially those in the smallest cities, towns, villages and farms; have always faced the dou-ble whammy of not only los-ing their young people to Al-berta but also to the bigger Saskatchewan cities like Re-gina and Saskatoon. But seeing one’s kids move away is something no par-ent can ever gets used to. This may be why it’s the one issue in Saskatchewan that always hurts and never quite seems to go away. That small taste of growth success that was enjoyed by some of the towns and smaller cities whose econ-

Out-migration hardest on rural Sask.

omy is more tied to the oil only left rural-based com-munities hungrier for what could be. Moreover, at least the cit-ies can claim that they (and the province as a whole) are growing because of the in-flux of new Canadians that have arrived in this prov-ince. New arrivals have been a huge part of the on-going (albeit, somewhat slowed) increase in both Saskatchewan jobs and pop-ulation. And even though many of these immigrants are sim-ply taking up service sector or retail jobs, they are still contributing to the econo-my. However, they tend to be contributing to the city economies where they have settled. According to numbers from Statistics Canada num-bers, Saskatchewan gained 53,921 people from other provinces since 2013 com-

pared with 59,560 people who have left Saskatchewan for other provinces; a net-out-migration loss of 5,639. But more to the point, half of those people left for bet-ter opportunities in Alberta; an old, familiar story to par-ents from both the cities and rural areas of our province. It is an issue made even more familiar by the poli-tics of our province. Many of you will remem-ber the Grant Devine Pro-gressive Conservative cam-paign of 1982 where one of the themes was “bring the children home.” Or you may recall the 1991 NDP elec-tions in which a bus pulls up at a farmyard and a young girl is given a hug by her parents before she boards that Alberta-bound bus. Now, the Saskatchewan Party is already running advertisements touting their record on population growth during the past de-cade, which is considerably better than that of the previ-ous decade under the NDP administration. However, the information is also framed as a loss of Saskatchewan people to Al-

berta. In recent years, that hasn’t been the case. And why Saskatchewan’s out-migration record is so bad now is an interesting question because Alberta is clearly suffering even more from the downturn in oil. Doug Elliott, publisher of Sask Trends Monitor, not-ed Alberta’s mining/oil/gas jobs in the first 11 months of 2015 declined by 11 per cent. But in Saskatchewan, the decrease was only six per cent in these sectors. Yet overall job growth in Alberta in the first 11 months of 2015 was 1.4 per cent; almost triple the .5-per-cent job growth in Saskatch-ewan. Elliott argued that this is why we continue to see young Saskatchewan people flock to Alberta for better-paying job opportunities. The statistician noted that Alberta is even creating more jobs in the public sec-tor areas of health and edu-cation; a trend that started before the arrival of its NDP government in May. We are again losing ground to Alberta; a reali-ty that hurts everywhere in this province.

HILARYKLASSENLifestyle Files

My phone is not happy with me. It has been nag-ging me to be more ac-tive. What it doesn’t know is that I have been active. When winter hit, my fit-ness regimen, such as it is, moved indoors and my phone stayed behind. The app likes to send me messages like, “Be more ac-tive” or “Don’t fall back.” More recently, it’s more like, “One month with no activity.” I feel marginally bad, but I know the truth. However, fresh off the holiday season I know I must pay for recent indulgences. A few extra nudges in the direction of fitness doesn’t hurt. Fitness activity trackers have gained tremendous popularity. In 2016, the battle of the bulge may give way to the battle of the ‘Fitbit.’ If you’re not obsessing about how many steps you walk, you may feel behind the pro-verbial ‘8’ ball. But before you set your sneakers to turbo mode, con-sider this. Someone else may soon be ‘obsessing’ about your fitness activity. Last year, Manulife Financial began rewarding cus-tomers who can demonstrate they’re committed to health and fitness. The company launched a program in the U.S. promising a reduction in annual premiums and other re-wards and discounts as a reward for healthy living. New customers receive a ‘Fitbit’ wearable activity tracking bracelet to help them track their progress. An Apple watch can substitute for a Fitbit. Getting an annu-al physical, running a marathon, regularly having things like cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure checked, and swiping your card at the gym can get you points. A simi-lar program, ManulifeMOVE was launched in China last September. This development changes the conversation for insur-ance coverage. The system is typically based on self-re-porting. With this change it will shift to ‘big data,’ where customers willingly hand over their activity stats. Some employers now provide wearable trackers to their em-ployees. Rumour has it the new Manulife Fitbit activity track-ing rewards program could be coming to Canada soon. Customers had asked for this, to be rewarded for choos-ing healthy living. And maybe it is an enlightened ap-proach, a new direction that promotes and rewards well-ness. But what happens when, down the road, your employ-er has become a little too enamored with your fitness. How does an insurance company track pre-existing con-ditions in this realm? Fitness trackers as a personal choice, fine. Fitness trackers as assigned by your boss or insurance company, I’m not so sure. Is this enlightenment or tyranny? However well-intentioned this whole program might sound, it moves into the personal realm in ways that feel invasive. It’s another merging of the public and private self. There are good reasons to close the gap between the public and private self, but it’s unfortunate that those who are unable for personal reasons to pull their lifestyle together in the required ways, will be punished. Insurance already punishes those who smoke and who are overweight. How long until diet choices come under scrutiny? The thing they don’t say is, whenever they’re rewarding, they’re also punishing. Users of fitness trackers also risk having profile and personal information stolen, or having your data used in ways you don’t anticipate. I am not in love with this idea. I wait for the day in the hypothetical enlightened future when counting steps will seem like a total yawner. Thankfully, my phone isn’t especially wearable.

Techy taskmasters: Fitness tyranny

or enlightenment?

Warman approves group care homeBy TERRY [email protected] A group care home oper-ated by Menno Homes was approved by Warman City Council at its regular meet-ing on Monday, January 11. The home, located on Cherry Lane in one of the city’s new residential neigh-bourhoods, meets all the ar-chitectural standards for the area, and was approved as a discretionary use un-der the neighbourhood’s R2 zoning. The home is owned by the Saskatchewan Hous-ing Corporation (Sask Hous-ing) and is being leased to Menno Homes of Saskatche-wan under a long-term con-tract. This is the second Menno Homes group care home giv-en the go-ahead in Warman. The other home, located in the Legends neighbourhood, is owned by Menno Homes. Jordan Varey, Menno Homes Executive Director, told the city council meet-ing that the new facility will house four intellectual-ly-challenged adult females. Full-time staff with Menno Homes will be on the prem-ises 24-hours per day to pro-vide care and programming for the residents.

Varey noted that Menno Homes has been providing care for intellectually-chal-lenged individuals for over 50 years, and currently op-erates nine group homes in Waldheim and one in Saskatoon. The agency cur-rently supports 50 individ-uals, and employs a total of 140 employees at its facil-ities. The agency also op-erates SARCAN recycling depots in Waldheim and Martensville. The new group home in Warman is one of 40 res-idential care homes be-ing built by Sask Hous-ing across the province to house intellectually-disabled adults transitioning from the closure of the Valley View Centre in Moose Jaw. Four of those Sask Housing homes are currently in oper-ation in Moose Jaw and are managed by local communi-ty-based organizations. Sev-en other properties are cur-rently being constructed in other communities. Several homeowners in the immediate vicinity of the new group home ex-pressed concerns to council that approving the facility would depress land values in the neighbourhood.

Other concerns, includ-ing the possibility that there could be a change in the type of residents living at the facility, was also raised. However, any significant change to the current ar-rangement would have to come back to city council.

PASSING THE TORCH Warman City Council con-firmed the appointment of Russ Austin as the city’s new Fire Chief at its Janu-ary 11 meeting. Council also confirmed the appointment of Kevin Schwartz as the new Deputy Fire Chief.

On January 7, 2016, Rosthern RCMP, with the assistance of Prince Albert Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit, Saskatoon Police Service ICE, and Saskatoon RCMP Pro-vincial GIS, charged Robert Hawkins, 37, with the offenc-es of Luring a Child Under 16 via Telecommunication Sec. 172.1 C.C. and Invitation for Sexual Touching Sec. 152 C.C., in relation to incidents from the Hepburn, Saskatchewan, area in early 2014; Hawkins was arrested and remanded into custody. He was scheduled to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court on January 8, 2016.

Sexual exploitation charges laid in Hepburn incident

In December 2015, Sas-katchewan’s unemployment rate was 5.5 per cent (sea-sonally adjusted), the low-est rate among provinces and well below the national average of 7.1 per cent. Saskatchewan has main-tained the lowest unemploy-ment rate in Canada for 26 of the last 27 months. “Despite the economic challenges caused by low oil prices, Saskatchewan had the lowest average un-employment rate in the country in 2015,” Immigra-tion, Jobs, Skills and Train-ing Minister Jeremy Har-rison said. “Having the lowest unemployment rate

in the country and the cre-ation of full-time jobs is proof that our economy re-mains resilient.” There were 570,900 peo-ple employed. Full-time em-ployment increased by 1,500 and part-time decreased by 2,500. Regina’s employment was up 1,700 (+1.2 per cent), and Saskatoon’s employ-ment was up 300 (0.2 per cent) compared to Decem-ber 2014. Major year-over-year gains were reported for health care and social assis-tance up 4,300; information, culture and recreation up 3,500; trade up 1,800.

Austin emphasizes team approach for Warman Fire RescueBy TERRY [email protected] Warman’s new fire chief has some big boots to fill. But Russ Austin is con-fident he can chart a new path for Warman Fire Res-cue while still following in Gord Thompson’s footsteps. “You can never replace a guy like Gord,” said Aus-tin in an interview at the Warman Fire Hall on Mon-day, January 4. “You can only succeed him in the line of fire chiefs that have led the organization. He’s def-initely a one-of-a-kind guy and he will be missed. “But I’m confident that with the team we have, we’ll continue to serve this com-munity well.” Austin officially took over as Warman’s fourth Fire Chief on January 1. He suc-ceeds Thompson, who was a strong leader in the orga-nization for almost 40 of the Warman Fire Department’s 51-year history. The transition was planned by the fire depart-ment and Warman City Council and began a little over two years ago when Austin was hired as Deputy Fire Chief, a full-time posi-tion. “I’ve been working side by side with Gord from the day I was hired,” said Austin. “Gord knew he was going to retire and basically they wanted to have someone come in and become famil-iar with the department and

(Left) Warman Fire Rescue Battlation Chief Kevin Schwartz (left) and Russ Austin at a fire safety school in Colorado. Schwartz is the new Warman Deputy Fire Chief

steer the ship in the same direction.” Battalion Chief Kevin Schwartz now steps into the role of Deputy Fire Chief. Schwartz’s appointment was made official at the Warman City Council meet-ing on Monday, January 11. Schwartz served a previous term as Warman Deputy Fire Chief, but moved into the Battalion Chief position on a temporary basis during the transition period over the last couple of years. With Austin stepping into the top post, the Fire Chief’s position now becomes the only full-time salaried posi-tion in the department. The Deputy Fire Chief, which was full-time during Aus-tin’s tenure, now reverts back to a volunteer position. “In the future, we may get to the point where we add a second full-time position, and if that happens, it would be the Deputy Fire Chief’s position,” said Austin. “But at that time it would be opened up for people to ap-ply and it would be an open competition.” Austin is a former RCMP officer who also served as a volunteer firefighter with the Martensville Fire De-partment for 20 years, in-cluding several years as Deputy Chief in that city. He said his experience as a po-lice officer has helped him hone certain skills. He said while firefighters’ organi-zations have similarities to

law enforcement agencies in that they have a clear-cut command structure and their members are often in dangerous situations, there are also fundamental differ-ences. “I take my hat off to the Mounties,” said Austin. “When they respond to a domestic assault call at 2 o’clock in the morning, and nobody is answering the door, they don’t know what’s waiting for them behind that door. ‘When you go to fight a

fire at 2 o’clock in the morn-ing, you know exactly what you’re dealing with. You also have a well-trained and well-equipped support team with you. “For a Mountie, they may have backup, but that back-up could be 40 minutes away.”

RECORD CALL VOLUME With a population now ex-ceeding 10,280, according to the latest Sask Health statis-tics, Warman is one of the fastest-growing cities in the province, said Austin. But, he added, the current vol-unteer fire department is trained to professional stan-dards and is fully capable of handling a workload that is getting heavier every year. “In 2015, we responded to 365 emergency calls in to-tal,” said Austin. “That’s an average of one call per day. The big increase has been on the medical side. Our call volume for motor vehi-cle collisions and fires has also gone up, but not at the same rate.” Warman Fire Rescue has a total complement of 30 members, all of whom are

trained to National Fire Pro-tection Association (NFPA) professional standards as well as certified First Re-sponders. Last week, five new members who recently completed their testing were officially welcomed into the ranks. Austin said the quality of applicants looking to join the fire department is con-sistently high, and it’s a tough competition. Those who make the cut are “very capable individuals who are a big asset to the communi-ty,” he said. The current response time for the department is eight minutes and 10 seconds. The NFPA standard dictates that 90 per cent of response times must be under 10 min-utes.

FIRE INSPECTIONS Warman Fire Rescue is responsible for conducting fire inspections of build-ings in the city, and Austin said they are making head-way in clearing up the back-log that built up during the construction boom over the past couple of years.

“It’s slowed down a bit, and that’s allowed us to catch our breath,” he said. “By this spring we should be caught up on the high-risk occupancies like schools, seniors complexes and fuelling stations. Our goal is to visit every store-front business, group home, daycare, that sort of thing, twice a year.” Currently, there are three firefighters, including Aus-tin, who are certified fire in-spectors. A fourth member of the department is expect-ed to be certified as a fire inspector by the end of the month as well. The department is expect-ing to take delivery of a new wildland fire truck and a new ladder truck in 2016. The ladder truck is capable of fire suppression from con-siderable heights. A new au-tomated Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) pump-er truck was added to the fleet in 2015. Austin said the depart-ment aims to continue its community involvement while adding to its training program.

El Salvador trip ‘life-changing experience’ for Martensville youthBy TERRY [email protected] Living and working alongside villagers in a small community in El Salvador has changed the way Bethany Flegel looks at life. “I did get my eyes opened to a lot of things,” said Flegel in an inter-view on Friday, January 8. “It was a real culture shock for me when we first got down there, because I had never seen that kind of pover-ty before. It was so much different than Canada. “But it didn’t take long before I realized that people have a lot in common, regardless of where they live or what they have in the way of material goods. We all have hopes and dreams. “It was a good experience; one that I’ll never forget.” The Martensville High School (MHS) student was one of eight Saskatchewan teenagers who took part in the Global Citizen Youth Leadership Program in the sum-mer of 2015. The program is joint-ly organized by the Saskatchewan Council for International Coop-eration (SCIC) and the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund in El Salvador. Last month, the group of eight youth leaders who participated in the experience shared their sto-ries with high school audiences across Saskatchewan. Flegel spoke to her own school and shared excerpts from a video that was filmed during their stay in El Salvador. She encouraged her peers to take a critical look at the world and work for positive changes. Flegel said she learned a lot about El Salvador’s history dur-ing her time in that small, Latin American nation. “I was shocked to find that the

people are still rebuilding after the civil war that ended in the 1990s,” she said. “Refugees who fled the country are still moving back; and a lot of people are living in poverty because of the war and its aftermath. “We visited the site of the larg-est massacre of civilians in El Sal-vador; and the sole survivor of that tragedy told us her story. “It really shook me up,” she con-tinued. “It was incredible and heart-breaking to hear that such things can happen; and I feel it’s our responsibility to share those stories with others in order to pre-vent these things happening again anywhere in the world.” The bulk of the time the Sas-katchewan student leaders were in El Salvador, they worked with a local organization that is trying to educate people about preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS. Flegel said she also learned that “international development” works best when projects meet the needs of the local people. “Sometimes charity, even if it’s well-intentioned, can undermine a community,” she said. “It’s impor-tant to work in solidarity with ex-isting local organizations.” Flegel said prior to her trip to El Salvador, she had never even been on an airplane and had virtually no interest in politics. But now, she said, she has a much better understanding of global politics; and a much-deeper appreciation of the Canadian dem-ocratic system. She said the experience taught her the need to workfor democra-cy and human rights at home and abroad. She believes young peo-ple can make a difference through their involvement in international development efforts.

Dalmeny defenceman Scott Giroux battles with Shellbrook’s Andrew Bailey (above) while Dameny goaltender Dan Bauer (right) helped his team stay in the game with some great saves

Dalmeny gets short end of stick from ShellbrookBy HILARY [email protected] Winter has hit and so have the Shellbrook Elks. They came out strong against the Dalmeny Fury on Friday, January 8 and skated away with a 4 – 0 win. “They just came out really hard,” said Fury player-coach Brody Foster. “They put a lot of pressure on us. It could have been a different story without our goalie, Dan Bauer. I think they threw 70 some shots at him. He played really well.” The Shellbrook Elks current-ly lead the Fort Carlton Hockey League with 10 wins and one loss. The team dominated the first and second periods. “We really caught our legs throughout the third period,” said Foster. “I think they only had about four shots.” The Fury had a couple of power plays and put some pressure on the Elks. “We kind of took it to them a little bit but we couldn’t seem to foil their goalie,” said Foster. “They’re a really good team so you pretty much have to be play-ing on all cylinders to have a chance against them.” The Fury was playing with slimmer ranks, given the holiday season. Fos-ter said with the amount of guys they had, they played a decent game. The Fury decided in Decem-ber not to go to provincials. “We have to go to “A” Provincials and usually it’s very competitive. Un-

less you can pick up a line and a couple of defensemen, its better to just join up with a team,” said Foster. Some of their members have joined up with the Tisdale Ramblers and others have joined up with the Hague Royals to help strengthen the squads for provin-cials. The Fury is operating with team leadership this season ver-sus a full time coach. A commit-tee of three or four handles play calls on game days and organiza-tional matters. Foster says this has worked fairly well for them. “We’ve got a good group of guys out there. We all know how things work and we all kind of play for each other, we just go out and have fun,” said Foster. For next season, however, they’re looking at getting a full time coach. “Not that its not do-able without one, but its that ex-tra voice in the room that helps out and really takes some stress from the players of having to make those calls,” he said. Foster said new additions to the team have fit in really well. Josh Lees is one of those. “He had a re-ally good start. He’s injected that youth into our team, which is good to have. Our team is getting younger and the younger players have a lot of legs and passion in them to push you.” The Fury’s next and last home game of the season is against the Prairie Outlaws, at 8:30 p.m., Jan-uary 22 at the Dalmeny Arena.

Exercise: THE MIRACLE CURE-ALL?There are many benefits to exercise and after sifting through study after study, professors at the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges in the United Kingdom and elsewhere have labeled exercise a miracle cure.

The organization, which “speaks on standards of care and medical education across the UK,” recently released a report titled “Exercise: The Miracle Cure and the Role of the Doctor in Promoting It”. The goal of the report is to provide doctors with tools that will help them promote exercise to patients. The Canadian Society of Exercise and Physiology has also put forth a document to the Canadian Government to address this issue. Both organizations benchmarked that physical activity is a preventative measure against a wide range of diseases and ailments.

According to this report, here is a breakdown of some of the benefits of exercise:31% reduction in cardiac mortality90% improvement in self-esteem and well-being (from outdoor activities)25%-53% reduction in pain symptoms among osteoarthritis patients57% lower rate of prostate cancer progression - in all cancer patientsat least 10 mm Hg drop in blood pressure among 31% of patients50-80% reduction in risk of development type 2 diabetes30-50% reduction in risk of falls among older adults30% lower all-cause mortality rate45% reduction in risk of bowel cancer

There is a call-to-action to the fitness industry also; such as sports and recreational facilities will need to actively seek a diversity of clientele, and infrastructure is needed to support more active travel and outdoor spaces.

Young wrestlers from across the prairies are gearing up to “Scratch and Claw” their way to the top at this week-end’s regional Wrestling Tournament. Building on their success of hosting the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) Regional Wres-tling tournament last year, the Wolverine Wrestling team is hosting a tournament at the Legends Center on Saturday, January 16. Jesse Reis, coach of the Warman High School (WHS) wrestling team, is one of the organizers of the tournament, which is open to the public. “It is an all day event starting at 9:00 am,” said Reis. “Warman will be sending about 30 wrestlers, boys and girls, grades 9-12. It is guaranteed to be a good time.” Teams representing 30 schools from across Saskatche-wan, Alberta and Manitoba will be attending the event. “Come out and support the Warman High School Wres-tling team,” said Reis. “The cost to watch is $5 for the day, while school aged kids are free to get in.”

By MACKENZIE [email protected] The Hague Royals picked up a 4-2 victory over the Dalmeny Fury on Sunday, January 10 at the Hague arena. Fifty-six seconds into the first period, the Royals cap-italized on a turnover by the Fury in the neutral zone, which eventually led to a goal scored by Calder Neufeld. But a few minutes after the Neufeld goal, Josh Lees of the Fury tied the game. Later in the period Kyle As-chim put the puck past the goaltender to give the home team a 2-l lead. In the second period, Hague found themselves in penalty troubles, which led to a five-on-three power play for the Fury. Dalmeny capitalized on that power play and again

tied the game. Ryan Mc-Bride had the goal. The Royals regained their lead in the third period af-ter David Richard tipped the puck past the goalie to give his team a 3-2 advantage. Hague added to their lead when Jesse Mireau received a nice pass in front of the net and tapped the puck past the goaltender, which made the score 4-2. With two minutes remain-ing in the game Hague had a minute and 12 seconds re-maining in their penalty kill, and Dalmeny had their goalie already pulled which gave them a 6 on 4 advan-tage, when another penalty was called against the Roy-als. After a couple of close scoring opportunities from Dalmeny, the Royals killed off the penalties without al-lowing a goal to win the game.

Hepburn girls win gold, boys take silver in New Year’s Classic

By TERRY [email protected] The host Hepburn Hawks senior girls basketball team captured the gold medal at their New Year’s Classic basketball tournament in Hepburn last weekend. The girls team edged Per-due 37-35 in the champion-ship final. The Hawks senior boys team took the silver medal on the boys’ side of the tour-nament, losing in the cham-pionship game to Leask. This was the second annu-al New Year’s Classic tour-nament in Hepburn, with the games played in the large gym at Bethany Col-lege on Friday, January 8 and Saturday, January 9. The tournament featured

seven girls’ teams and seven boys teams from Hepburn, Dalmeny, Hague, Waldheim, Langham, Perdue and Leask. Hawks senior girls coach Leanne Thiessen said the games were very close, as the teams were “well-matched.” “Both the boys and girls round robin draws saw some very close, com-petitive games between Hepburn, Hague, Dalmeny and Perdue in the girls and Hepburn, Leask, Langham, and Waldheim on the boys’ draw,” said Thiessen. “The final on the girls side came down to a three-way tie breaker between Dalmeny, Hepburn and Perdue to determine who

PHOTO SUBMITTED BY RACHEL ANDRES

would advance to the final. Hepburn and Perdue faced off in the end for an exciting match; with Hepburn com-ing out on the winning end by a score of 37-35.” Thiessen said a tie-break-er was also needed between Waldheim and Hepburn to determine who would face Leask in the boys’ final. “Hepburn ended up ad-vancing and put out a great effort against the talent-ed Leask team, keeping the game neck and neck un-til the last few minutes. Leask’s #24, Evertt Badger, sunk several three point-ers in a row and anoth-er field goal or two to pull Leask ahead, out of reach of the hard-working Hepburn team.,” said Thiessen.

Keeping Saskatchewan Strong in 2016 As Saskatchewan people settle in to the new year, we have good reason to be optimistic. While we face some challenges due to the drop in the global price of oil, a resilient, strong and diversified economy is helping us to meet those challenges and continue to keep Saskatchewan strong in 2016 and beyond. Our population has now grown by 146,000 people over the past decade. These people have worked hard to turn the worst job creation re-cord in Canada into the best. Our government has worked to set the right kind of environ-ment and business climate to encourage this growth. This is one reason for optimism. Population and job growth during a down-turn in the energy sector is a big change from a few years ago when a downturn in one part of the economy would lead to job losses in every part of the economy. Today, 85 per cent of Sas-katchewan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is generated outside of the oil and gas sector.

Indexation Will Save SaskatchewanTaxpayers $8.1 Million This Year In 2016, all Saskatchewan income tax brack-ets and tax credit amounts will go up 1.3 per cent, matching the national rate of inflation. This annual measure helps Saskatchewan peo-ple keep more money in their pockets through-out the year. Indexation is part of an array of measures aimed at keeping taxes low. Individual taxpayers now pay no Saskatche-wan income tax on their first $19,220 of income while a family of four pays no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $49,800 of income. A family of four with $50,000 annual income, and deducting $3,000 in child care expenses, has now seen their provincial income tax cut from about $2,300 in 2008 to zero in 2016. When income tax savings are combined with new tax reduction programs that have been introduced since 2008, a single person with $25,000 annual income will benefit from $913 in lower provincial tax in 2016 than in 2008. A family of four with $50,000 combined income will see tax savings of $2,977; and a family of four with $75,000 combined income will see tax savings of $2,709, when comparing 2016 to 2008.

New Essential Services LegislationNow in Effect Amendments to essential service legislation (Part VII of The Saskatchewan Employment Act) are now in effect. The amendments en-sure alternative methods are available to set-tle workplace disputes. They foster on-going, productive and effective relationships between workers and employers while protecting the public. The new legislation addresses all concerns raised by the Supreme Court of Canada in its January 30, 2015 decision. The ruling recog-nized essential services must be maintained while respecting workers’ rights to take job ac-tion. The amendments came from stakeholders working collaboratively with government. Together, we created legislation that is fair and balanced and does not diminish existing rights and privileges of the working people of Saskatchewan.

Report from theLegislature

Nancy Heppner MLAMARTENSVILLE CONSTITUENCY

The National Lacrosse League (NLL) announced Nick Sakiewicz has been ap-pointed NLL Commissioner, effective January 7. Sakie-wicz brings over two de-cades of experience work-ing in Major League Soccer, most recently serving as co-founding partner and CEO of Keystone Sports and En-tertainment, the ownership entity of the Philadelphia Union of MLS. “I’m honored and excited to join a tremendous group of owners and lead the Na-tional Lacrosse League as NLL Commissioner,” Sakie-wicz said. “Similar to soc-cer 20 years ago, lacrosse is a dynamic and rapidly-growing sport amongst an incredible demographic in North America. The National Lacrosse League, which includes the Saskatoon-based Saskatch-ewan Rush, is celebrating its 30th anniversary sea-son featuring the best play-ers in the world and high-lighted by some incredibly entertaining competition. I’m really looking forward to bringing my experience working in MLS to the NLL and helping everyone in the lacrosse community to grow the league and expand the sport.” Sakiewicz takes over for former NLL Commission-er George Daniel, who had served in the role since 2009 before announcing in No-vember that was he step-ping down to start a new law firm while remaining as Counsel to the league. Sakiewicz conceived and launched the Philadelphia Union, which marked Ma-jor League Soccer’s 16th franchise, along with lead-ing the acquisition and con-struction of the team’s home field at Talen Energy Stadi-um (formerly PPL Park) in Chester, Pennsylvania. Sakiewicz joined Major League Soccer as an orig-inal founding executive in 1995. Along with a small group of league executives, Sakiewicz helped launch MLS in 1996 as its first Vice President of Commercial Sponsorship Sales. Sakie-wicz went on to lead two in-augural Major League Soc-cer teams from 1997 to 2006 in Tampa and New York, serving as President and General Manager for both teams. After nine successful sea-sons, in which he received the league’s Executive of the Year award twice (1999 & 2000) and was nominated a third time, Sakiewicz played the lead role in building Red Bull Arena and helped in the record sale of the New York MetroStars to the Red Bull energy drink compa-ny. He engineered the deal to build the first of two soc-cer-specific stadiums for the New York Red Bulls in America’s largest market, and in doing so, Sakiewicz solidified the long-term via-bility of the New York-based MLS franchise. In 2006, Sakiewicz helped found Keystone Sports and Entertainment by assem-

bling the investors who would eventually become the ownership group of Ma-jor League Soccer’s 16th ex-pansion team, the Philadel-phia Union. Over a two-year period from 2006 to 2008, Sakiewicz led Keystone’s ef-forts in negotiating one of the league’s most favorable soccer specific public/pri-vate stadium deals in his-tory, paving the way to offi-cially announce the Union’s first-ever season.

In spite of challenges on the resource front, Sas-katchewan’s economy re-mained strong in 2015 com-pared to other provinces. “Saskatchewan remains at or near the top among Ca-nadian provinces in many important economic catego-ries, like job creation, un-employment rate and pop-ulation growth,” Premier Brad Wall said. “The fact we have been able to with-stand the considerable eco-nomic hit from low resource prices while still showing economic progress speaks volumes about the resilien-cy and the diversity of Sas-katchewan’s economy.” The province is on track for another year of record high employment, averag-ing 573,900 for the first 11 months in 2015. Saskatchewan’s employ-ment growth has actual-ly been gaining strength in recent months, with 7,200 more people working in No-vember 2015 compared to November 2014. That’s an increase of 1.3 per cent - nearly double the national average of 0.7 per cent and

the second highest growth rate in the country. Saskatchewan current-ly has the lowest unemploy-ment rate in Canada at 5.5 per cent – well below the national average of 7.1 per cent. Saskatchewan has had the lowest unemployment rate in the country for 25 of the past 26 months. Regi-na’s unemployment rate of 4.0 per cent is lowest among Canadian cities. Saskatchewan is also sec-ond among Canadian prov-inces in population growth rate over the past year. Sas-katchewan’s population grew by 12,312 people over the past year – an increase of 1.1 per cent. In the first 10 months of 2015, wholesale trade was a record $24.2 billion, up by 9.4 per cent when compared to the same time period in 2014. Saskatchewan had the highest percentage increase among the provinces. Building permits were a record $2.6 billion in the first 10 months of 2015, up 9.0 per cent from the same period last year, the second highest percentage among

Provincial economy proves strong in 2015the provinces. “There is no doubt that the slowdown in the re-source sector is causing some challenges for our economy, but Saskatchewan

continues to attract people, jobs and investment and I expect that to continue in 2016,” Wall said. “Our diver-sified economy is keeping Saskatchewan strong.”

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19Capricorn, it may be frightening to reveal your true feel-ings about something, especially when the truth might change your life in a dramatic way. Muster your courage. AQUARIUS January 20– February 18Others appreciate all that you do for them, Aquarius. But sometimes they have to do for themselves to learn valu-able lessons. This week is a time to step aside.

PISCES February 19– March 20Pisces, while you are busy helping other people, you may discover that it’s time to take a step back and tend to your own needs.

ARIES March 21– April 19Aries, finding time to get everything done can be chal-lenging. Fortunately, you have quite a few friends willing to spare some time and lend you a helping hand.

TAURUS April 20– May 20Difficult decisions can take time to work through, Taurus. Although you want to address all situations, this week isn’t a good one for making big decisions.

GEMINI May 21– June 21Something keeps nagging at you and you can’t get it out of your head. Trust your intuition and be on guard. With some careful thought, a solution will present itself.

CANCER June 22– July 22A hectic schedule may have you feeling some pressure, Cancer. Keep in mind that all of your deadlines are self-imposed, so just factor a little more time into your week.

LEO July 23– August 22Leo, sometimes you have to make a few mistakes before you get things right. Don’t let this worry you, as trial and error is all a part of the learning process.

VIRGO August 23– September 22Virgo, you may suspect what’s around the corner, but you are not ready to take the plunge just yet. Give it a little more time until you feel ready and secure.

LIBRA September 23– October 22Work with your doctor to develop a plan for meeting some healthy resolutions, Libra. It is important to make your health a priority this week.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21Scorpio, it may prove impossible to escape all of your responsibilities right now, but you can let a few slide for the time being. Tackle the most daunting projects first.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21You cannot avoid a complex issue forever, Sagittarius. Come clean with the person you may have been hiding from, and work with this person to reach a resolution.

A Habitat for Hu-manity (Habitat) partner family in Duck Lake will soon have a place to call home. The province, through the Sas-katchewan Housing Corporation, provid-ed $65,000 in funding to help acquire and renovate the home. Located at 200 – 2nd Street, the home was purchased as a du-plex and is current-ly being renovated into a single-family, three-bedroom bun-galow approximate-

ly 1,000 square feet (93 square metres) in size. Additional sup-port was provided by the Tachane Founda-tion. Habitat and the Stobart Communi-ty School have part-nered together to en-gage and train Duck Lake students in various construc-tion trades through the renovation of the home. “Our government is proud to support Habitat and its part-ners to help another Saskatchewan fam-ily achieve stabil-ity through home-ownership,” Batoche MLA Delbert Kirsch said on behalf of So-cial Services Min-ister and Minister responsible for Sas-katchewan Housing Corporation Donna Harpauer. “This is a wonderful opportuni-ty for people to come together and build a better community. This keeps our prov-ince strong and mov-ing forward.” “Habitat for Hu-manity Prince Al-bert and our Duck Lake chapter are very excited to have begun this project for our recipient family,” Habitat for Humani-ty Prince Albert Ex-ecutive Director Jan Adamson said. “Of the family selected for this home, one parent is current-ly studying to ob-tain her nursing de-gree, and the other is working with Stobart Community School of Prairie Spirit School Division. With the support of the Prov-ince, local high school students are receiving vocational training in carpen-try, a community has banded together to create a new home in their neighborhood, and a young, hard-working family will have a place to grow and thrive. It’s a win-win for everyone in-volved.” The province has commitment $7.85 million in funding in Habitat for Humanity projects since March 2009. This funding supports builds in 13 communities across the province in-cluding Duck Lake, Fort Qu’Appelle, Humboldt, Lloydminster, Melfort, Moose Jaw, Nipawin, the Battl-eford region, Prince Albert, Regina, Saskatoon, Weyburn and Yorkton. When the province first funded Habi-tat, the funding pro-vided was $50,000 per home. In March 2014 the province in-creased the amount of funding by $15,000 to a total of $65,000 per home.

Borden School raises funds for Children’s HospitalBy TERRY [email protected] With a student population of just under 100 students, Borden School raised a to-tal of $310 in a single day last week. The school’s goal is to raise as much as possible in donations during the month of January for the Saskatchewan Children’s Hospital (SCH), current-ly under construction in Saskatoon. Roughly 75 per cent of the students, ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 12, donated a minimum of $1 during a “Pyjama Day” event on Friday, January

Students at Bor-den School dressed up in their pyjamas on Friday, Janu-ary 8 and collect-ed loonies to do-nate toward the Saskatchewan Children’s Hospi-tal. (Left) Grade 12 student Brook-lyn Gader (seated) and teacher Katie Hesje count out the loonies donat-ed by each class at Borden School.


8. It’s the first of several such days scheduled for the month of January, accord-ing to Katie Hesje, a teach-er at the school and one of the organizers of the event. “Every Friday, the kids will be dressing up in their pyjamas to support the Children’s Hospital,” said Hesje in an interview at the school. “The suggestion for the pyjama days actually came from the Children’s Hospital campaign. They pointed out that the sick kids in the hospital wear pyjamas, and it’s a way of building a connection with them. “Plus, it’s kind of a fun

way for the students to ex-press themselves.” Brooklyn Gader, a Grade 12 student at Borden School and a member of the stu-dents’ representative coun-cil, said the students chose this cause because they felt it was a worthwhile endeav-our. “This is the first year we’ve done this particu-lar event for the Children’s Hospital, but we do fund-raisers throughout the year for lots of charities,” said Gader. “We picked this one because it’s specifically for kids, and we’re kids too. It’s a cause that the students can identify with.”

Pioneer teacher turned sophisticated traveler knew DiefenbakerBy HILARY [email protected] From the back woods of Sas-katchewan to destinations around the globe, former teacher, Janet Rawlyk has emerged as an articu-late senior citizen with the soul of a traveler. The 87-year-old resident of Dal-meny’s Spruce Manor Special Care Home has traveled to Eng-land, Scotland and Wales, as well as Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Thailand, Isra-el and the Ukraine. “I’ve had a lot of wonderful ex-periences,” she said. Rawlyk grew up on a farm near Wakaw. She has an impeccable memory and stories simply flow out of her. Many of her travels were to vis-it former students, a few of whom had scattered to the four winds – an airline pilot in Singapore, for example. Rawlyk began teaching at age 17. She got her education at “Normal School” (the equivalent of teach-er’s college) beginning in 1945.

Teacher and traveler, Janet Rawlyk enjoyed visiting formers students in various parts of the

globe on her many travels.

Her first teaching gig was at Black Bear School in Hudson Bay, out of Erwood. “There were no roads. You crossed the river with a team of horses. The horses would be going one way and the current would carry the wagon. And you hoped that your main pole wouldn’t break!” said Rawlyk. Thus her teaching career was launched, which apparently went swimming-ly. Being a pioneer district, the main entertainment was a box so-cial. At one box social, a 45-year-old bachelor bought her box at the auction and so they had lunch to-gether. No doubt he had designs on the young single teacher. “I got kidded about that for a long time,” she said. “Another exciting thing we would do is once a month is, we would catch the freight train and go to Hudson Bay and that was our outlet,” she said. There was one passenger car. One of her next positions was

with the separate school system in Prince Albert where her salary was $1100. That was per year! Rawlyk eventually settled in Nipawin where she taught for 17 and a half years. Her starting sal-ary was $2500 per year. The Cen-tral School had three male teach-ers and herself, the only female. “They wanted to do the science and the math, so I got stuck doing the music and the arts. Whatever they didn’t want to do was shoved on me,” she said. Rawlyk and her husband Er-nie started their own farm equip-ment business in Nipawin. They started with Minneapolis-Moline & Cockshutt, but eventually it be-came White Farm Equipment, which they owned for 40 years. Rawlyk did the books for the busi-ness. When Ernie died in 1993, the enterprise was sold. When Rawlyk was teaching Grade 7 and 8 at the new Alex Wright School in Nipawin, John Diefenbaker paid a visit. “He land-ed on the school yard and came

and spoke to the students,” she said. Diefenbaker’s first law prac-tice was in Wakaw. “He knew all the family and he knew I was there and I was teaching social studies.” This was after he was prime minister. The Rawlyks later visited him in Ottawa. As a result of all her travels, Rawlyk came to really appreciate her Canadian home and its free-doms. While traveling in Malay-sia and Thailand, because of the high Muslim population, they had to cover their heads. “When we went to visit one of the mosques, and they gave the women a gown, particularly because you couldn’t have say, a halter top and shorts, and you had to cover your head and you had to take your shoes off,” she said. Now, in her later years, Raw-lyk enjoys spending time with her three children and four grandchil-dren. Whenever she likes, she can pull out her storehouse of mem-ories and mentally page through many wonderful experiences.

Dalmeny Fire Rescue’s February Formal highlights protective services’ roleBy TERRY [email protected] Suffering from Cabin Fever now that winter has tightened its icy grip? Dalmeny Fire Rescue (DFR) is coming to your rescue. The volunteer fire department’s second annual ‘February Formal’ dinner and dance is set for Satur-day, February 6. According to DFR member Car-los Villafuente, the event has three purposes: to recognize the role of protective services in the community; to raise funds for im-provements to the DFR’s training

ers at the training ground to do high-angle rope rescue training, as well as confined space rescue training. Tickets for the February Formal are available through DFR mem-bers, the Dalmeny town office and the pharmacy in the community.

grounds; and most importantly, “to have a good time.” “Our Valentine’s Day formal last year was a real success, and everyone enjoyed it,” said Villa-fuente in an interview on Thurs-day, January 7. “People had a great time, and we raised some money, so we’ve decided to make it an annual event.” Villafuente said while the agen-da is not completely nailed down, it will be similar to last year’s event; with a tribute to emergen-cy services personnel, a catered dinner, silent and live auctions, a dance with a live band, and door

prizes. The band is “Off the Grid.” He said a portion of the funds raised at the event will expand the DFR training grounds. Im-provements are currently under-way, as the area has been levelled and dirt and gravel have been brought in. A couple of large met-al shipping containers will be brought in and used for training purposes. The containers, said Villa-fuente, will be modified to simu-late the interior of a residential home. “The objective is to have an en-vironment where we can do mock

search and rescues, and also prac-tice our training in a smoke-filled environment,” he said. “There are always new firefighting tech-niques and technology that we need to be familiar with.” `Villafuente said the DFR is also looking to erect some tow-

The return to colder sea-sonal temperatures has brought a new record for power use in the province. Saskatchewan’s new re-cord peak load reached 3,640 megawatts (MW) at 5:31 p.m. on Jan. 11. Last winter’s peak of 3,628 MW was set on Jan. 8, 2015. “We’ve had a relative-ly mild start to winter this year, but as expected we con-tinue to set new records for power consumption,” said Mike Marsh, SaskPower President and CEO. “In or-der to make sure our custom-ers keep having access to the reliable, cost-effective power they depend on, we’ll contin-ue to work hard to renew our equipment and bring innova-tive power supply options to Saskatchewan” To lighten the load and curb their power bills this winter, SaskPower’s custom-ers have the power to save: *Turn down the thermo-

stat. Changing the tempera-ture of your home by even a few degrees can make a big difference. For every degree you lower your thermostat overnight for an eight-hour period, you can save up to two per cent on your heating costs. *Plug in your car with a timer. Your car only needs to be plugged in for four hours. Use a block heater timer to save around $25 a year. *Turn out the lights. Short-er days and longer nights mean interior lights in your home are on longer. Remem-ber to turn out the lights when you leave a room. Bet-ter yet, cut down the pow-er they use by about three quarters by using LED light bulbs. *Customers on equalized payments should keep an eye on their bills and any bal-ance being carried, to avoid one large bill at the end of the year.

New peak power use record set

Insurance broker and Shell Lake Chamber of Com-merce president Rose Free-man was selected to be the New Democrat candidate for the Rosthern-Shellbrook constituency. Freeman is a fourth-gen-eration resident of the area, having grown up on a farm just outside of Shell Lake. She has a diploma in Ad-vanced Financial Services and owns and operates Wil-low Insurance in Shell Lake. “What I’m hearing more and more from families in this region is that they’re growing tired of being taken for granted by the Sask. Par-ty and, after a decade of re-source boom, they’re frus-trated that this government has so little to show for it,” said NDP Leader Cam Bro-ten, who attended the nomi-nation meeting. “That’s why I’m so proud to have Rose Freeman as our candidate in this constituency. “Rose has proven her-self to be a strong advocate for her community and this whole region. As a busi-ness owner and chamber president, she knows what it takes to build a prosper-ous and sustainable econo-my. And as a mom, she cares deeply about ensuringthat all kids in Saskatche-wan get a great education and have loads of opportu-nities here. Rose will be a great MLA.” Freeman said she decid-ed to seek elected office be-cause she shares Broten’s vi-sion and wants to be at the forefront of positive changes that benefit her community, and all Saskatchewan fami-

lies. “I’m excited about this op-portunity to represent the people of the Rosthern-Shell-brook constituency and to work with Cam Broten to de-liver on what matters most to Saskatchewan families to-day— better health care, se-niors care and education, smart investments in high-ways and infrastructure, and many more good, mort-gage-paying jobs,” said Free-man. “I agree with Cam that we’re just scratching the

surface of Saskatchewan’s incredible potential right now. That includes rural Saskatchewan. It’s agreat place to live and it holds so much potential – but we need a government that doesn’t take rural Sas-katchewan for granted and that truly focuses on peo-ple’s priorities.” Freeman and her husband, Scott, have three children. She is an active volunteer with the Shell Lake Curling Club and the local preschool.
