60 years old was transport-ed to hospital with undeter-mined injuries. The other two drivers walked away unharmed. The investigation into the cause of the collision is on-going. Warman Fire Rescue and MD Ambulance also re-sponded to the collision.

On Saturday afternoon, June 27, Saskatoon RCMP received a report of human remains in a sandbar on the South Saskatchewan River near Victor Road in the RM of Corman Park. Saskatoon RCMP and Forensic Iden-tification Section members recovered a body later that evening. The Coroner requested an autopsy which was sched-uled for June 30 to identify the deceased and determine the cause of death.

By JAMES [email protected] The RM of Corman Park website will have a brand new look when it is un-veiled this fall. The current website has been in operation for ten years and both administra-tion and council felt an up-date was needed. Adam Tittemore, Ad-ministrator for the RM of Corman Park said the cur-rent website is lacking in terms of interaction and its ability to get information out to ratepayers. Tittemore stated in doc-uments presented during a June 15 council meeting that the current website presents an editing night-mare when it comes to for-matting text and objects like tables and pictures. Other website issues in-clude a search function that barely works, poor navigation for mobile de-vices and not enough

space, said Tittemore. The total storage space available on the website is 2GB, which is not a lot when you consider council agenda packages are 50 MB and council audio uploads are well over 300 MB. Last year Tittemore said administration maxed-out at 1GB of website space and had to get it raised in order to add more documents. The RM currently uses Microsoft Skydrive, a third party program, to upload documents and audio files. During the June 15 coun-cil meeting a motion was passed to award the rede-sign of Corman Park’s web-site to CivicPlus at a cost of $18,500 over a four year payment plan. The company is respon-sible for designing the Cit-ies of Warman and Mar-tensville websites. Tittemore said the new website will include more form pages for ratepayers

and developers to submit documents electronically. An example would be if a ratepayer or developer wants to apply for a permit, they can do so through the new website. Tittemore said the RM does not plan to pursue a mobile app, but said that a new RM logo design could also be in the works. “We are looking at hav-ing logo consultants pres-ent some ideas to council,” said Tittemore. “Our intent then would be to incorpo-rate that into the new web-site if council decides to go in that direction.” Tittemore said admin-istration will be meeting with CivicPlus in a couple of weeks to formalize the agreement and get started on the new design. The key reason behind the RM’s website redesign is to improve flexibility for ratepayers and developers, said Tittemore.

RM to unveil new website this fall

By JAMES [email protected] Responsibility for mainte-nance of old Highway 305 is being transferred from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) to the RM of Corman Park. The RM will also take over responsibility for ser-vice roads that run parallel to Highway 12. The agreement for the transfer was presented to a Corman Park council meet-ing on Monday, June 15. The RM has been in con-versation with MHI regard-ing reconstruction of High-way 305 between Highway 11 and Highway 12. The RM raised concerns about safe-ty and the current condi-tion of the roads. “What the Ministry has asked for is support from the RM. The RM origi-nally agreed back in 2011

and 2012 to take owner-ship of sections of the old 305 that is no longer going to be used as a provincial highway, and also to take ownership of the service roads that have been creat-ed to provide those access points,” said Corman Park Administrator Adam Titte-more. The roads covered in the agreement include: Range Road 3052, Warman Access (Old Highway 305 East), Range Road 3053 (Old High-way 305 West), Old Highway 305 south of the CN Rail-way tracks, Highway 305 South Service Road, High-way 12 West and East Ser-vice Roads, Range Road 3053 (10th Avenue in Mar-tensville), Range Road 3045 (extension to the new in-tersection), acreage roads north and south that tie in to the Old Highway 305 and

Responsibility for old Highway 305 transferred to RM of Corman Park

new Highway 305, and ac-cess roads east and west from the old Highway 305 service road. However, the agreement hinges on surface and over-lay repairs the province needs to complete to the range, access and acreage roads in the agreement. In a letter sent to RM Ad-ministration from Scott Tivy, Senior Project Manag-er with MHI, work on road-ways identified as gravel surface is complete. Tivy stated that the re-maining dust-free portion of the old Highway 305 and the East Highway 12 ser-vice road will receive spot repairs and at a minimum 30 mm of asphalt concrete overlay prior to the juris-dictional transfer. Tittemore said the over-lay work should take about two months to complete.

Ministry chooses Highway 305 for overpassBy TERRY [email protected] The provincial Minis-try of Highways and Infra-structure (MHI) is recom-mending construction of an overpass for Warman at the intersection of Highways 11 and 305, at the city’s north end. The recommendation was unveiled at an open house in Warman on Tuesday, June 23. “This is the preferred op-tion, based on the evalua-tion process we have gone through,” said Steve Sha-heen, a senior MHI com-munications spokesper-son. “From the ministry’s perspective, it ties in nice-ly with the current highway network; and from the com-munity’s perspective, it’s the safest option and will allow traffic to flow easily in and out of the community.” The overpass is one of two interchange projects an-nounced earlier this year by the provincial govern-ment. The other overpass is to be located on Highway 12

at Martensville’s main en-trance. Its location and pre-liminary design were also unveiled at the open house in Warman June 23 and a second open house in Mar-tensville on Wednesday,

A schematic diagram by ISL Engineering illustrates the preferred location of an overpass at the intersection of Highway 11 and Highway 305 at the north end of Warman

June 24.

safety, cost factors The preferred location for the Highway 11 overpass was chosen after the minis-try received feedback from

residents, businesses, land-owners, Warman city coun-cil and administration, and the business community, said Shaheen. “In addition to cost and safety aspects, the other

benefits to this location are that we don’t have to move any utilities such as natu-ral gas lines; there are fewer landowners that will be po-tentially impacted, and dur-ing the construction process

traffic will not be disrupt-ed as much. We’re still going to have a free flow of traffic along Highway 11 and into and out of Warman until the

New interchange will make commute easier, says mayorBy TERRY [email protected] Commuters will find it easier to get in and out of Martensville once the new Highway 12 overpass is completed, according to Martensville Mayor Kent Muench. Muench said increased safety is the biggest benefit to the community, but ease of access to the highway is also welcome. “The key piece for us is that we’re getting an over-pass,” said Muench in an in-terview on Wednesday, June 24, following the first of two open houses staged by the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) on

the locations and designs of highway interchanges for Martensville and Warman. “We’ve been pressing the government for an overpass for many years. This is go-ing to make a big difference for everyone.” Muench said the overpass design suggested by MHI is very similar to the initial set of designs put forward at an open house several weeks ago. “It’s based on what we saw earlier,” said Muench. “But instead of having two options, now there is real-ly just one, which is the one MHI is recommending.

The recommended design for the Highway 12 overpass was unveiled at open houses on June 23 and 24

A WARM & FRIENDLY HAVEN

By JAMES [email protected] The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure unveiled proposed routes for the “Saskatoon South Perimeter Freeway” during an open house at the German Cultur-al Centre in the RM of Corman Park on Wednesday, June 25. The purpose of the open house was to gain feed-back from local residents on what the southern portion of the Perimeter Highway should look like. Associated Engineering commis-sioned the study. During the open house the company provided a map with four southeast route pos-sibilities. The southeast route will extend from Highway 5 to Highway 16 and Highway 11, but the southwest por-tion between Highway 7 and 14 is really still up in the air.

Maps of the proposed routes are available online at www.highways.gov.sk.ca/Saskatoon _ Freeway . MHI Communications officer Steve Shaheen said the southeast route is the next important piece of the perimeter highway However, he said the ministry is still in the process of determin-ing whether the new highway will completely or partially circle the city of Saskatoon. The sticking point for the southwest portion of the proposed highway is finding a suitable crossing point over the South Saskatchewan River. Possi-ble routes would have to be devel-oped through a flood plain. While the southeast portion of the Perimeter Highway could be 25 to 50 years down the road, the southwest portion of the perimeter highway could be 100 years away. It is important to protect lands now so we don’t deal with issues

Perimeter highway study releaseddown the road, said Shaheen. “We don’t know what is going to happen. We don’t have a crystal ball where we can determine how the City of Saskatoon will grow so what we are doing is protect-ing those lands now so then peo-ple know where the development is and they can proceed with devel-opment,” said Shaheen. “It might be determined that there is no need for the southwest route.” Shaheen said the feedback gath-ered from the public meeting will be part of a report released this fall. “We have to start somewhere and through the study complet-ed by Associated Engineering. It could be one route or a combina-tion. It is more or less to deter-mine how close to the city or fur-ther away we need to go and to provide that linkage to Highway 11,” said Shaheen.

Area residents receive service, merit awards

Two residents of the region were among the volunteers honoured at the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) an-nual meeting in North Battleford June 17-19. The SHSAA wrapped up the activities for the 2014-2015 school year at the meeting and recognized individuals for their dedication to the student athletes of our province. The SHSAA also honored retiring executive members and elected new members to the executive coun-cil. During the past year almost 40,000 students participated in inter-school activities at the senior high school level. The SHSAA recog-nized 199 individual and team provincial champions in the 10 activ-ities offered to the student athletes of the 375 high schools across the province that comprises the SHSAA.

service awards Terry Chalifour of Langham was among those honoured with a service award.

merit awards Kathy Maki of Clavet was among those who were presented with the SHSAA Merit Award, the highest honour the Association be-stows on any of its members.

project is completed and open.” Shaheen said the final de-cision on the location, de-sign and budget for the in-terchange will be made in the near future by MHI offi-cials. He said feedback from the open house will be tak-en into account before a fi-nal decision is made.

CENTRAL UNCHANGED According to engineers with ISL Engineering, the consulting firm which pre-pared the preliminary drawings for the proposed interchange, the current in-tersection at Highway 11 and Central Street will not be changed. At the present time, there are no plans to close the intersection or make it a right-only access to and from the highway, con-firmed one of the ISL en-gineers at the open house. However, he said traffic pat-

terns will be continually monitored to determine if changes to the intersection will be needed in the fu-ture. Warman city councilor Gary Philipchuk, chair of the council’s transportation committee, said he looks forward to the completion of the interchange. “We realize this will be truly beneficial to the planned commercial devel-opment site at the intersec-tion of Centennial Boule-vard and the new Highway 305,” said Philipchuk. “Most of our traffic will be heading up in that area. I’m sure it will be a catalyst to spur that development be-cause now traffic will have an easy way of getting into and out of that area.” Philipchuk said the new interchange will impact traffic patterns within the city, putting increased pres-sure on Centennial Boule-

vard and other north-south arterial roads. But in the long run, he noted, it will encourage growth. Warman city councilor Richard Beck said he had hoped to see at least two op-tions so council and resi-dents could weigh the costs and benefits of different lo-cations. “Council was hoping to see two alternatives,” said Beck. “One for Central Street and one for Highway 305. What we’re getting is one recommendation com-ing forward: the one for Highway 305.” Warman city councilor Zane Dmytryshyn also ex-pressed concern about the future of the intersection of Central Street and Highway 11. “If there are no chang-es to the intersection then we’ll continue to see colli-sions at that location,” said Dmytryshyn. “The fact that

there is a safer alternative entrance into Warman fur-ther north may cut down on the number of people using the Central Street intersec-tion, but it won’t eliminate the basic problem.” Dmytryshyn said he’s not opposed to having the over-pass at the new Highway 305. “I don’t necessarily op-pose that location, because that’s where a lot of future growth will be in that di-rection. However, we have to think about the rest of the city, and the potential negative impact on Central Street businesses and res-idents in that area if the Central Street intersection with Highway 11 is closed or altered sometime in the future.”

CONSTRUCTION SOON Zev Lazic, executive di-rector of major projects with MHI, said both the Warman and Martensville

overpass projects will be designed and built by con-tractors selected through a public bid process. “We have an evaluation process and we will narrow the field of candidates down to three teams,” said Lazic in an interview at the open house June 23. Initially a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will be issue by MHI to deter-mine whether proponent teams are qualified to bid on the projects. Then MHI will issue a Request for Pro-posals (RFP) which pro-vides detailed information on technical requirements for the overpasses. Propo-nent teams submit their “design-build” proposals to MHI, where they are eval-uated to determine if they comply with the technical requirements. The field is narrowed down to three fi-nal candidates, and they submit financial bids. The

lowest bid that meets all the requirements will then be chosen. “This is a design-build type of project, where the phase of designing the in-frastructure and the phase of building the infrastruc-ture are combined into the procurement process,” said Lazic. “Traditionally, the ministry would first hire a consultant to design the project, and then tender documents would be sent to contractors based on that design. “Under this process, the design activities and the build activities are all com-bined, so it is more flexible and efficient. If there are any flaws or cost overruns, it becomes the responsi-bility of the design-build team.” It is expected that prelim-inary construction work on the interchange sites will begin as early as this fall.

“One significant change is that a new ‘slip ramp’ is sug-gested that connects High-way 12 with the intersection of Centennial Drive and 4th Street South.” Muench said he’s heard mixed feedback from resi-dents about the slip ramp proposal, but it appears that most residents are in favour of the option. “There are some people who are worried about a big increase in traffic on 4th Street,” said Muench. “But

we’re embarking on a three-year program, starting this year, to rebuild that street. We’re starting at the east end and working our way west; incorporating various traffic calming structures like pinch points into the de-sign.” Muench said the city is currently doing a traffic study to determine current and future traffic patterns, so firming up the highway overpass design is helpful. He said another bene-

fit from the new overpass is there will be additional space created on Centennial Drive for southbound traf-fic looking to turn west onto Highway 12. Steve Shaheen, a senior communications officer with MHI, said the overpass design is designed to mini-mize conflicts with existing underground utilities, and also to reduce traffic disrup-tion during the construction period. Shaheen said it is unclear

at this point whether the speed limit on Highway 12 will be bumped back up to 110 kilometers per hour af-ter the overpass is complet-ed and in operation. Cur-rently the speed limit near Martensville is 90 kilome-ters per hour. “That will be a decision that will have to be made in the future,” he said. Preliminary construction work on the overpass is ex-pected to begin as early as this fall.

Kelly Block, Member of Parliament for Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, was joined on Friday, June 26 by Highways and Infra-structure Minister Nan-cy Heppner and Govern-ment Relations Minister Jim Reiter, to announce that new passing lanes on High-way 7 between Delisle and Rosetown are nearing com-pletion. “Our government’s sup-port for public infrastruc-ture has never been stron-ger,” said Block. “We are pleased to work with the Province of Saskatchewan to approve projects under the New Building Canada Fund, to ensure that infra-structure funding contin-ues to flow in Saskatche-wan as we focus on creating jobs, promoting growth, and building strong, prosperous communities across Cana-da. Canadians rely on hav-ing safe and secure road net-works to get them to work, to school and to their many other daily activities and we are proud to have invest-ed in the Highway 7 pass-ing lanes project between Delisle and Rosetown, which will benefit all travellers passing through this corri-dor.” “Investing in infrastruc-ture that meets the in-creased demands of a diver-sified economy and growing population is a priority for our government,” Heppner

said. “These passing lanes increase traffic capacity on the highway and improve safety by providing addition-al opportunities to pass.” “Traffic volumes continue to increase on this busy in-terprovincial route, which connects Saskatoon and Cal-gary, and the passing lanes will improve safety and effi-ciency for shippers, commut-ers and all other motorists,” Reiter said. When officially opened in coming weeks, four new sets of passing lanes span-ning a total of 16 kilometres will provide highway travel-lers with more opportunities to safely pass and improve traffic flow. Highway 7 users will also benefit from additional ma-jor safety improvements: * About 25 kilometres of highway is being twinned between Saskatoon and Delisle. The Government of Canada is funding half of the eligible costs of the proj-ect to a maximum of $32 million. Work could be com-pleted as soon as fall 2018. The balance of the project costs are being funded by the Government of Saskatch-ewan. * The Government of Sas-katchewan is also investing $2.8 million to repave about 30 kilometres of Highway 7 near Harris and recently completed a $3.1 million pav-ing project east of Vanscoy. Passing lanes allow vehi-

cles to pass slower vehicles travelling in the right hand lane without having to cross into opposing traffic. Yel-low signs will alert drivers 300 metres before the end of the passing lane to let driv-ers begin to merge back into the left hand lane. Motorists will still need to watch for vehicles changing lanes and merging traffic at the end of the passing lane. The New Building Canada Plan is the largest and lon-gest federal infrastructure plan in Canada’s history. This unprecedented commit-ment is providing $53 billion to support provincial, terri-torial and municipal infra-structure, between 2014 and 2024. Over this ten year peri-od, Saskatchewan will bene-fit from more than $1 billion in dedicated federal funding, including almost $437 mil-lion under the New Building Canada Fund.

QUICk FACTS The Government of Can-ada set aside up to 50 per cent of eligible costs, to a maximum of $3.83 million for the Highway 7 Passing Lanes project under the New Building Canada Fund’s Provincial-Territorial Infra-structure Component, Na-tional and Regional Projects (PTIC-NRP). The Government of Sas-katchewan will be responsi-ble for all remaining costs

related to this project. The total cost of the proj-ect is estimated at $8.5 mil-lion. The Government of Sas-katchewan has invested a record $5.2 billion in trans-portation infrastructure since 2008. The $53 billion New Build-ing Canada Plan provides stable funding for a 10 year period, and includes: The Community Improve-ment Fund, consisting of the Gas Tax Fund and the in-cremental Goods and Ser-vices Tax Rebate for Munic-ipalities, which will provide more than $32 billion to mu-nicipalities for projects such as roads, public transit and recreational facilities, and other community infra-structure. The $14 billion New Build-ing Canada Fund, which consists of: The $4 billion National In-frastructure Component that will support projects of national significance; and The $10 billion Provin-cial-Territorial Infrastruc-ture Component for proj-ects of national, regional and local significance. Of this amount, $1 billion is for projects in communities with fewer than 100,000 res-idents through the Small Communities Fund. An additional $1.25 billion in funding is for the Public-Private Partnerships (P3) Canada Fund.

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

Governments get elected, but it may be more accurate to say that governments get unelected. In other words, one big problem for an incumbent government is that it is al-ready being judged on its track record. That’s not always an ad-vantage if a government is governing in tough eco-nomic times that force it to make tough, unpopular choices. And if those tough decisions happen to be com-bined with the longevity of a government, voters will question why the govern-ment hasn’t addressed the problems they’ve had ample time to fix. What also always weighs heavily on voters’ minds is perceived government scan-dal; something that has cost Canadian governments pow-er from John A. Macdon-ald’s Pacific Scandal to Jean Chretien’s Ad Scam. (And in the U.S., who will ever forget Watergate?) Finally, there are the less tangible factors like the rel-ative popularity or unpop-ularity of the government leader versus that of the op-position leader. But while one might think all the above leaves the in-

cumbent government at a decided advantage, this isn’t necessarily the case. Maybe the recent Alberta election showed us that vot-ers are willing to only take so much from a veteran gov-ernment during tough times when the premier is seen as out of touch. However, fear of the un-known; something we are clearly seeing on the feder-al scene when it comes to the national voters’ views of the NDP and Thomas Mul-cair or the Liberals’ Justin Trudeau; can be a far bigger factor. So let’s put all this in the context of a Saskatchewan government that is nearing the end of its second term. Yes, the weakening oil economy, slowdown in man-ufacturing and housing con-struction and a potentially tough year on the farm are worrisome for Premier Brad Wall’s government. Also, wasted money on smart meters and the

$40-million health care lean initiative efficien-cy program, overcrowded schools that can longer af-ford desks, phones and com-puters, emergency and sur-gical ward problems and declining rural and long-term care and rough roads have some wondering where all of that oil windfall has gone. And under a different pre-mier (Wall’s approval rating has slipped, but is still at a nation’s best 60-per-cent) seeking a third term in Sas-katchewan would certainly not be a given. No non-CCF/NDP govern-ment has won three con-secutive elections since the Liberals in 1929. But governments that are successful over the long haul are successful because they have a certain way of addressing the core issues that are most important to the people. Two recent press releases illustrate that what is going on in Wall’s Saskatchewan’s suggest his government is accomplishing what matters most to people of this prov-ince. The first press release an-nounced that despite the slowing economy, Saskatch-

ewan remains one of the fastest growing provinc-es in Canada with 1,134,402 people as of April 1. That is an increase of 1,762 people in the past three months and 14,273 more people in the past year. Admittedly, governments don’t control population growth and the growth did start a couple years before Wall came to power in 2007. But a province once known for giving away its children to other provinces, adding 139,475 in a decade is more than a remarkable achievement. And it’s am-ple reason for the voters to trust what Wall is doing. In a similar vein, there were 582,700 people working in Saskatchewan in June; the most ever in the history of this province. Also, Saskatchewan’s 4.9-per-cent unemployment rate was again the lowest in the country for the 20th consecutive month. For a province that saw its chil-dren leave the province for decades looking for work, this is fantastic news. And it’s also why Wall and his Sask. Party government are likely heading for a big third, majority.

Jobs, population growth will pull Wall through

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

In the ongoing effort to bring transparency and accountabil-ity to Canada’s hundreds of aboriginal governments, the name Wayne Louie should be remembered. Wayne is a member of the Lower Kootenay Band, a First Na-tion of 235 people, half of whom live on a reserve near Creston, B.C. In 2009, the band was paid $125,000 by the taxpayers of the Re-gional District of Central Kootenay for the use of a road that crosses the reserve. Flush with cash, the five-member band coun-cil secretly voted to pay themselves each a $5,000 bonus. Two years went by before Wayne Louie discovered the payout. Unable to simply stand idly by, Wayne took the council to court to get the money back. For years, he pushed his case forward. As it wound its way through the court system, Wayne relied on his nephew Rob for

legal help, his brother Robert to chip in for filing fees, and Access Pro Bono, a non-profit law society, to help him argue his case. While Wayne packed a sandwich and took a 15-hour bus ride from Creston to the Vancouver courthouse, the Lower Kootenay chief flew into town and ate out on his band’s dime. There was nothing to gain personally for Wayne; he fought for his friends and neighbours to stop his politi-cians from benefitting based solely on their elected po-sitions. He did it because he felt it was the right thing to do. Earlier this month, the B.C. Court of Appeal sid-ed with Wayne Louie. In a landmark ruling, the court found the chief and four councilors had breached their duty to the band and ordered them to repay the money. “This was a breach of fiduciary duty, even in the con-text of a relatively informal and custom-based gover-nance structure,” wrote Justice Mary Newbury in her decision. “In my view, such a structure should not de-prive members of the Band of the protection of the fi-duciary principle. They were entitled to hold the defen-dants to the high standard to which other fiduciaries

are held in this country.” In other words, First Nation band councils should create the same rules and safeguards as other governments across Canada, a point echoed in a Mandell Pinder legal analysis of the decision: “Councils should develop financial administration and conflict of interest policies. Implementing bylaws or laws and policies to provide accountability and transparency in financial manage-ment is essential to good governance.” The lack of accountability on many reserves is why the Cana-dian Taxpayers Federation worked with grassroots band mem-bers to push for the new First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA). Among other things, the law requires chiefs and councillors to disclose their pay publicly. While it has already had a positive impact on many reserves, sadly, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has promised to scrap the law; a move designed to appease chiefs who oppose disclosure. Already, the FNFTA is opening up band decisions to the grass-roots. When Kwikwetlem First Nation Chief Ron Giesbrecht took home $914,249 tax-free in 2013-14, it was the FNFTA that revealed the massive payout. As Kwikwetlem’s Marvin Joe told the Na-tional Post, “If it wasn’t for this new transparency act, I don’t think we ever would have known.” Similarly, the new law ex-posed how four council members from the Shuswap First Nation had shared $4.1 million over four years to govern a band of 267 people. Instead of scrapping the FNFTA, the federal government should entrench the court’s ruling and expand the law to re-quire bands to pass conflict of interest and fiduciary responsi-bility rules. The government could also require bands to hand over even more financial information to the grassroots, especial-ly around band-owned businesses and wages for chiefs sitting on regional bodies. There are thousands of ethical people living and working on reserves across Canada, people like Wayne Louie. They deserve our support and admiration – and laws that ensure a select few aren’t taking more than their fair share.

Warman, Martensville working toward joint RCMP headquartersBy TERRY [email protected] With additional RCMP of-ficers being assigned every year to the cities of Warman and Martensville, the need for a joint facility to house the RCMP detachment is growing. Currently, each city has eight police officers assigned to their respective munici-pality, making a combined total of 16 officers. The cities pay the cost of these officers under a pre-approved formu-la with the RCMP. The number of officers for both Martensville and Warman has been climb-ing steadily for the past five years. Once the total num-ber of officers assigned to the urban centres reach-es 20, it would be enough to constitute a separate detach-ment. The Cities of Warman and Martensville are prepar-ing for the day when a new RCMP facility serving both communities becomes a re-ality. A Memorandum of Un-derstanding (MOU) to ini-

Martensville Mayor Kent Muench and Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence sign a Memorandum of

Understanding between the cities to initiate a feasibility study for a joint RCMP facility

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

tiate a feasibility study for a new facility was signed on Wednesday, June 24 by Martensville Mayor Kent Muench and Warman May-or Sheryl Spence. Both cities have allocated up to $25,000 toward the feasibility study. Martensville City Man-ager Scott Blevins said the total cost of the feasibility study is not known. “We’re working on a Re-quest for Proposals (RFP) to look at possibly having an engineering firm do the study,” said Blevins in an in-terview on Friday, June 26. “The RFP should be ready within the next couple of months. One of the key is-sues that needs to be looked at in the study is the future site of a new RCMP facility. We want to make sure that any location we’re looking at is appropriate. Is it ser-viceable for water and sew-er? Things like that have to be taken into account.” The RM of Corman Park is also a party to the MOU because in all likelihood, any site chosen for the new

RCMP facility will be in the RM somewhere between the cities. “It’s hard to say at this point where the building would be constructed,” said Blevins. “But both cities have been having discus-sions on this issue for the past five years, so we have a very good understanding of the needs of each city, and we’re committed to working together for the benefit of both communities.” Warman and Martensville have both included a joint RCMP facility in their fu-ture long-range plans and included allocations in their five-year capital budgets for the project. Blevins said the impend-ing feasibility study is fo-cused on the future of the urban coverage area for the detachment. The rural cov-erage area is not included in the study, he added.

rural rcmp component The Warman-Martens-ville detachment current-ly has a total allotment of 29 members, and includes a geographic area that also in-cludes a large rural compo-nent stretching west as far as Maymont, southwest to Delisle and east as far as the South Saskatchewan River. The detachment has of-fices in Warman, Martens-ville, Delisle and Radisson. Martensville used to have a separate detachment, but a few years ago, it was amal-gamated with the Warman detachment to provide 24-hour policing to the entire area. This means that even though some officers are as-signed to one municipality or the other, they are able to respond to incidents in all parts of the coverage area when needed. A previous study on the future of the RCMP detach-ment raised many ques-tions, said Blevins. This fea-sibility study is going to focus on providing answers.

Firefighters were inside the building showing us their skills with fire science and interior attack, then moved outside as the build-ing burnt intensely to show us fire streams and suppres-sion skills. The structure burned so hot that it created its own weather and a mini-tornado for a brief time. Firefighters from the re-

gional training program will complete their certifica-tions with their home halls sometime this summer or fall. Congratulations to our three Warman firefighters for graduating, and all the firefighters in our district who committed so much time to certify to the inter-national standard and serve their communities!

Saskatchewan’s Population Continues to Grow Saskatchewan continues to be one of the fastest growing provinces in Canada. According to Statistics Canada, as of April 1, 2015, there were 1,134,402 people living in Saskatche-wan, an increase of 1,762 in the past quarter and an increase of 14,273 in the past year. Saskatchewan had the second highest growth rate among the provinces in the past year and third highest in the past quarter. Our province has now had population growth every quarter for the past 9 years – the longest period of continuous growth since the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Building Schools for Saskatchewan Students Our growing population means more than 11,000 students will be attending new state-of-the-art elementary schools in Saskatoon, Martensville, Warman and Regina. Each of these nine new, joint-use schools will include 90 new child care spaces, community space and more. Building schools in fast-growing communities is a priority for our government and, using a P3 model, we will complete this work on-time and on-budget. Construction on the public-ly-owned and operated schools is expected to begin this sum-mer and will be ready for students in 2017. Since 2007, we have committed approximately $948 million toward 65 major school capital projects and numerous small-er projects including preventative maintenance and renewal.

Students Saving with Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarships Students who are graduating from Grade 12 this year are now eligible for the $500 Saskatchewan Advantage Scholar-ship. This $500 per year scholarship (to a lifetime maximum of $2,000) is applied to tuition costs at a Saskatchewan post-secondary institution. Since its inception, more than 17,000 Saskatchewan stu-dents have been awarded scholarships worth nearly $14 mil-lion. In 2015-16, the provincial government is committing $9 million toward the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship, an increase of $2.3 million from last year. Since 2007, our government has provided $670 million in direct support to students through scholarships, bursaries and grants through the student loan program, the Saskatche-wan Advantage Grant for Education Savings and the Gradu-ate Retention Program.

More People Working in Saskatchewan Than Ever Before Saskatchewan’s economy is diversified with a broad base of goods and services which has set us apart from other prov-inces. Our economic outlook is positive – jobs are up, popu-lation is up, and other indicators like exports and wholesale trade are making steady gains. New job numbers released by Statistics Canada show that there were 582,700 people working in the province in May 2015, an increase of 4,800 over the previous year. At 4.9 per cent, our province also maintained Canada’s lowest unem-ployment rate for the 20th consecutive month.

Saskatchewan Reports on Patient First Review Progress Saskatchewan has made significant progress address-ing patient feedback from its ground-breaking Patient First Review. This includes dramatically reduced surgical wait times and primary health care innovations that are revitaliz-ing health services in rural communities. The focus is now on reducing emergency department waits, improving care for seniors and improving services for people struggling with mental health and addictions. A Patient First Review Update report outlines options un-der consideration to improve patients’ access to health care, such as recent legislation to pave the way for patients to choose to directly pay a private facility for an MRI scan in Saskatchewan. Other approaches under consideration in-clude a credit system for people who want more choices out-side of the province for select services not available in Sas-katchewan, and activity-based funding for health facilities. Our government is firmly committed to a health system that puts patients first, and we’ll continue to ask for input and learn from their experiences. Much more work is ahead, but a solid foundation is in place to achieve exceptional pa-tient and family-centred care.

Jade Gulash, Board member of the Warman Cham-ber of Commerce, and Chamber staff, Jaim-ie Malmgren, both re-cently attended Cham-ber College training in Saskatoon. Gulash, who joined the Board last fall, has completed Level 1, while Malmgren, who had taken Level 1 in the fall, has complet-ed Level 2. They were among 13 chamber professionals attend-ing the training. The Chamber Col-lege was created as a partnership between the Saskatchewan Chamber and the Chambers of Commerce Executives of Saskatchewan. The curriculum for Lev-el 1 covers areas including bylaws, non-dues revenue, membership, finance and holding events; the syllabus for Level 2 goes into greater depth of knowledge in these and other key chamber ar-eas. “The world of Chambers of Commerce is changing rap-idly, and it is critical to have the knowledge and skills within the organization to meet the challenges and serve the members. There-fore, we have developed Chamber College to provide new and emerging chamber leaders - staff and presidents - the things they need to know to do their jobs well,” said Steve McLellan, CEO of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce. “The Chamber College is a ground-breaking initiative for the chamber network – the first of its kind in Cana-da,” McLellan explained. “As a new chamber, it is extremely valuable for us to have Chamber College training. I’m confident it will help us effectively fos-ter a positive business en-vironment in Warman and help us develop a stronger voice for our members,” stat-ed Warman Chamber staff member, Jaimie Malmgren. The Saskatchewan Cham-ber of Commerce represents the interests of 10,000 busi-nesses across the province through Chamber Network. The mandate of the Sas-katchewan Chamber is to make the province a better place to live, work and in-vest. The CCES is the profes-sional development asso-ciation for senior manage-ment and staff of Chambers of Commerce in Saskatche-wan, whose mission is to in-crease the effectiveness of Chamber staff.

By next year, grocery shopping for Martensville residents will be much more convenient. A 30,000 square foot Co-op Food Store is set to open in 2016 in the commercialdevelopment of Black Iron Crossing, located just south of the Co-op Convenience Store and Gas Bar. Harley McClughan, Opera-tions Manager for Saskatoon Co-op said they’ve received numerous requests from members and residents to consider expanding into

Martensville. “We’re excited to make this announcement - based on the support we receive from the citizens of Mar-tensville at our current Con-venience Store and Gas Bar, we look forward to great success at this new food lo-cation,” said McClughan. Kent Muench, Mayor of the City of Martensville, says the Co-op Food store means more than just an-other choice for food shop-ping. “While the opening of a

New Co-op grocery store in the works for MartensvilleCo-op Food store means res-idents don’t need to travel to Saskatoon for food shopping, Co-op has told us the new lo-cation will employ approx-imately 75 staff which will further enhance our grow-ing local economy,” said Muench. Martensville’s Communi-ty & Economic Development Manager Dillon Shewchuk says acquiring a new food store is a big accomplish-ment and the project took a lot of work to come to frui-tion. But, he says, the wait

was worth it. “Co-op is a trusted brand and our existing relation-ship with Co-op is very strong,” said Shewchuk. Polling conducted by the city on commercial develop-ment shows that about 70% of residents currently trav-el elsewhere to shop for gro-ceries, and over 90% do their shopping for household goods outside of Martens-ville. “A grocery store was on the top of the list for resi-dents when it came to new

development they wanted to see in the city, so we’re confident the store will be a popular shopping location,” Shewchuk added. “These large brands like Co-op obviously continue to see the benefits of being here, and as the population continues to grow, we expect to see more business and commercial growth in the city,” said Shewchuk.

Co-op hopes to begin con-struction on the store soon with a target opening in 2016. In recent years, Oak Cen-tre RV Mall, Tim Horton’s, Dairy Queen, McDonald’s, Pharmasave, and Canalta Hotels have set up shop in Martensville with Boston Pizza Canadian Tire, and Dollarama set to open later in 2015.

Victim services building solid foundation in regionBy TERRY [email protected] A police-based organiza-tion dedicated to helping vic-tims of crime is becoming solidly established in the re-gion. Sask Central Victim Ser-vices (SCVS), located in the RCMP detachment office in Martensville, was launched last April. So far, the focus has been on getting a sol-id foundation in place, said SCVS Coordinator Sheri Watkins. “It’s been a busy time,” said Watkins in an in-terview at her office on Wednesday, June 24. “This is the last remaining area of the province that did not have a victim services orga-nization, so there was a real need. But it does take time to get everything in place.” Watkins, who started in the position last February, has so far hired two assis-tant coordinators; one based in Humboldt and one based in Kindersley; as well as an administrative assistant working out of the Martens-ville office. The assistant coordina-tor in Kindersley is Andrea Kletzel. Currently a part-time civilian employee at the RCMP’s Kindersley de-tachment, Kletzel recent-ly received her RCMP secu-rity clearance and begins her new job in August, said Watkins. The assistant co-ordinator in Humboldt and the administrative assis-

tant who were hired are still waiting for their security clearance. Watkins said she’s encour-aged to have received in-terest from volunteers in Warman and Martensville, as well as from other RCMP detachments across the re-gion. Watkins said she is cur-rently developing training materials for staff and vol-unteers. “I have a number of inter-ested volunteers throughout the region and look forward to working with them on an ongoing basis in order to provide victims of crime and traumatic events with qual-ified, compassionate and ca-pable support throughout the Sask Central region,” she said. Watkins is also working directly with about 10 vic-tims of crime in Warman and Martensville. Once a full complement of staff is in place, the numbers of people the organization can help will increase substantially, she said.

AnnuAl meeting held The SCVS held its annu-al general meeting in mid-June, and the organization saw some changes to its board of directors. Collette Lessmeister of Humboldt stepped down as Chair of the SCVS. The new Chair is former RCMP staff sergeant Tony Shumilak. Shumilak recently retired

from the RCMP’s Central District in Saskatoon. A for-mer RCMP representative, Shumilak is now a commu-nity board member. He was elected to the Chairperson post at the AGM. New members elect-ed to the SCVS board are John Enns-Wind, a mem-ber at large and Mayor of Kindersley; Staff Ser-geant Kevin Williams, Cen-tral District NCO with the Saskatoon RCMP detach-ment; and Staff Sergeant Grant Rusk of the RCMP Unity Detachment. Former RCMP Staff Ser-geant Rob Eyre of the Saskatoon detachment stepped down from the board at the AGM, as did Mike McLeod, member at large for Martensville. How-ever, McLeod is staying with the organization as a volun-teer advocate for victims. “It’s really nice to have Mike stay on board,” said Watkins. “Most of our volun-teers are women, and they do a great job. But it is also important to have a strong male advocate. That will re-ally make a difference in a lot of the cases we deal with.” Board members staying on include: Eugene Motruk of Biggar (vice-chair), Jean-nie Coe of Saskatoon (sec-retary); Ivan Gabrysh of Warman, Sylvia Maljan of Unity, and Staff Sergeant Kevin Weber of the Warman RCMP Detachment.

Residents are now able to access information fast-er and easier on the City’s website, Martensville.ca. A communications proj-ect that included updating, re-writing and improved navigation has been com-pleted. “We know from our re-search the number one way residents want to get in-formation from the City is via the website,” says Dil-lon Shewchuk, Manager of Community and Economic Development. “We believed the site did not need a total overall, for some the chang-es are not noticeable, but we also knew the site re-quired some work to make it more useful.” The site now features a main menu where visitors can learn about Martens-ville, a ‘How Do I’ section that directs residents to in-formation the City says res-idents ask about most, a

‘Living in Martensville’ section which provides de-tailed information on pro-grams and services, and a ‘City Hall’ section that in-cludes Department respon-sibilities, and information on elected officials. A new Quick Links sec-tion provides links to the most sought out informa-tion by residents, as well as to information the City feels residents need to be aware of. For example, the ‘Planning for the Future’ link provides informa-tion on the ways in which the City is planning for growth. The site improvements were made as part of the city’s efforts to enhance communication to resi-dents and business owners. In the past 18 months, the City has also implemented a newsletter (the Banner), started a Facebook page, and a Twitter account to

share information. “Although we haven’t conducted any formal re-search, feedback on the newsletter has been pos-itive, and our Facebook page and Twitter posts are popular,” says Shewchuk. “We hope the improve-ments made to the website will also be helpful to res-idents.” Shewchuk adds the Economic Development section of the website will soon go through a similar updating exercise after any outstanding issues with the City website are addressed. The resident survey con-ducted in summer 2012 also found that 91% of residents liked the look of the web-site, which was a factor in the City’s decision not to put resources into build-ing an entirely new site at this time. The website proj-ect was completed as part of the City’s existing budget for communication.

By JAMES [email protected] The Delisle National Leas-ing Diamond Dogs played host to Team Great Britain and New Zealand in three exhibition games in prep-aration for the ISF World Softball Championships in Saskatoon this week. Great Britain finished ninth in the tournament last year. Michael Lee, infielder with Great Britain, said Ca-nadian teams are always a good way to prepare for the world tournament. “For a lot of our guys who play in Australia and New Zealand, their seasons end-ed months ago, so exhibition games help get them back in shape,” said Lee. “Pitchers on Canadian teams are usu-ally pretty good so it helps us prepare for what we are going to see in this tourna-ment.” In the June 23 game Great Britain got off to a 4-0 lead in the opening inning and increased their lead by a home run, which came off the bat of pitcher Richard Haldane at the top of the 6th. The Diamond Dogs tried to make a go of it through-out the game but were not able to solve Haldane until the 7th inning when Jordy Gagnon scored off a hit by outfielder Shawn Colborn. In the second game Great Britain and the Diamond Dogs played to a 5th inning 5-5 tie. In the second exhibition game against New Zealand the Diamond Dogs played to a 5-5 tie in 10 innings. Colborn said the Diamond Dogs played well, but could

have come out harder in the opening game. “A lot of our guys have played against Haldane be-fore. He was hitting some really good spots and doing his job. In the whole game we only had one fly ball. I think he had five strikeouts and every other out was a ground ball,” said Colborn. “In the New Zealand game our pitcher Brian Newton threw extremely well and we executed on some of the chances we had.” Playing against interna-tional teams sometimes gives the Diamond Dogs the opportunity to play against familiar faces. Team Great Britain’s ros-ter includes six Canadians from Vancouver, Ontario and Saskatoon. Britain-born Lee said Delisle has a great atmo-sphere to play softball and a lot of community support, which was great to see. “This is a great field and community-wise a lot of people come out to watch. You don’t really get this support in the UK. It is a re-ally cool atmosphere to play in.” Colborn said feedback from both teams and the community was positive. “Everybody loved it. We had our team for 16 years and I think we only played six games in Delisle. It was fun and exciting,” said Col-born. Money collected through game tickets and concession from the exhibition games will go towards funding the Diamond Dogs trip to the ISC World Tournament in South Bend, Indiana August 8-15.

Legends set to host 2016 provincial men’s amateur golf championshipBy TERRY [email protected] The Legends Golf Club in Warman is hosting next year’s provincial Men’s Am-ateur Championship tourna-ment. Brian Lee, Executive-Di-rector of Golf Saskatche-wan, confirmed the 105th Saskatchewan Men’s Ama-teur Championship is slated to take place July 18-21, 2016, at the Legends Golf Club. This will be the second time the popular course has hosted the event. The first time was during the Leg-ends’ inaugural season in 2011. “It’s going to be an excit-ing event,” said Lee. “The Legends is a great course and we’ll see the some real-ly competitive golf during that tournament.” Legends Golf Club manag-er Craig Prentice said he ex-pects the top golfers from across the province to com-pete. That could include some local members, he add-ed. “Certainly we have a great core of guys in our own membership that would be among the top contenders in a tournament like this,” said Prentice. “Luke Sheard, for example, if he chooses to play, would be considered among the favourites for the title.” Prentice said Golf Sas-katchewan approached the Legends about hosting the event earlier this year, and the agreement was signed in February. “It was such a great suc-cess for both organizations last time it was held here

that it made sense to do it again,” said Prentice. “It’s a good fit.”

potential record year In an interview, Lee said this year’s golf season could turn out to be a record-breaker for many golf cours-es across the province. “This has been one of the best opening years for golf that we’ve seen in many years,” said Lee. “We haven’t had a lot of rain, so a many clubs have had to pump quite a bit of wa-ter onto the fairways and greens to keep them look-ing good. But on the other hand, they were able to start the season early and there’s been a lot of people out en-joying the game so far this year.” Lee said most of the cours-es across the province are well ahead of where they were in 2014 and 2013 in terms of rounds played. If the trend continues, it could break some records, he add-ed.

provincial championships Lee said there’s a full slate of provincial tournaments coming up this summer. Colin Coben of Delisle won the Auto Clearing Chrysler Senior Men’s Championship last week at Moon Lake Golf and Country Club, shooting a three-day total of 211. His final day score of 69 cement-ed his victory. Lee said both the 97th Sas-katchewan Amateur Wom-en’s championship and the 29th annual Saskatchewan Mid-Am Men’s Champion-

ship are slated for Elk Ridge Resort at Waskesiu Lake July 8-10. The 89th Saskatchewan Junior Men’s and 65th Ju-nior Women’s champion-ships take place at Deer Park Municipal Golf Course in Yorkton July 20-22. “Deer Park is going to be one of the golf courses that’s hosting a national cham-pionship as well,” said Lee. “They’re hosting the Cana-dian Junior Girls Nation-al Championship August 3 through 7. The golf course has already received calls from as far east as Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and as far west as Vancou-ver Island, from golfers looking for practice rounds to make sure they can get out and become familiar with the course.” Lee said the 2015 provin-cial Men’s Amateur Champi-onship, which will mark the 105th edition of the tourna-ment, is slated for Estevan Woodlawn Golf Club in Estevan July 27-30. August 5-7 will see both the 96th Saskatchewan Se-nior Men’s Championship and the 56th provincial Se-nior Women’s at Hillcrest Golf Club in Moose Jaw. The 45th Saskatchewan Women’s Rosebowl tournament goes August 12-13 at Golf Kenosee at Kenosee Lake in south-eastern Saskatchewan; and the season wraps up with the provincial mixed team championship August 22-23 at Nipawin Evergreen Golf and Country Club.

per capita leader Saskatchewan has a huge

number of golf courses, said Lee, noting that while many are world-class champion-ship courses, there’s also a lot that appeal to less-com-petitive and more recre-ation-minded golfers. “What sets Saskatchewan apart is that we have the most sand green golf cours-es per capita than anywhere else on the planet,” said Lee. “At last count, we have 87 sand green courses.”

WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

He noted that two for-mer sand green courses are making the transition to grass greens this year. Waldheim’s Pineridge Golf Club, as well as the one at Canwood, are upgrading to grass greens. On the other hand, he said, a new sand green course just opened up at Fishing Lake Regional park to allow campers to strike a ball around the course with

their paid entry to the park. There is also a sand green course at Pike Lake where visitors to the provincial park can golf all day. “In Saskatchewan, you can play a world-class facil-ity like Moon Lake, where you have the private mem-bership experience, or you can play a sand green course for next to nothing and have a lot of fun with the family,” said Lee.

PUBLIC NOTICE

15071SWW0

By WAYNE [email protected] The Warman High School (WHS) Wolverines football team will be well represent-ed when Team Saskatche-wan heads to Quebec in ear-ly July to compete in the U18 Canada Cup. WHS teammates Jes-se Ens, Brandon McKim-mon and Joel Seiferling were named to the squad in June. Other area teams are also represented as Martens-ville Royals head coach Lyle Evanisky is an assistant coach for Team Saskatche-wan and Delisle Rebels line-backer Joshua Kemp is cur-rently one of the practice roster players. The Football Canada Cup is Canada’s premiere pre-university football tourna-ment. In addition to rep-resenting their province, participants have a chance to showcase their talents for junior and university coach-es. Notable alumni from past tournaments include former Rider stars Ben Heenan and Andy Fantuz. Also participating in the tournament are teams from Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Sco-tia and two from Quebec.

TOP PERFORMERS WHS head football coach Tyler Scheidt said to have three players from the same 9-man football team compet-ing at the top level is a real testament to the opportu-nites for development in the minor football programs of this area. “The neat thing about this group is they are actual foot-ball players,” said Scheidt. “I mean we have had good athletes who played football. These are kids that over the last four or five years have wanted to be football play-ers. They are a new element for us. They do the Team Sask stuff. They have been in Football Saskatchewan academies, go to Team Sask tryouts. They are so pol-ished when we are getting them.” The trio are familiar with elite competition, having played in the 2014 Cana-da Cup with Saskatchewan White team when Saskatch-ewan was allowed to have two teams as the tourna-ment host when the event was held in Saskatoon. They had also played in the Elite regional tournament for un-der-16 players in Winnipeg in 2013. In 2012 Seiferling and McKimmon played in that same tournament, help-ing Saskatchewan win the gold medal. Coach Scheidt explained, “These are really good kids. They are just hum-ble and hard-working and very coachable. The oth-er thing with these guys is they train. The season ends, they heal up and get into off-season training. They are very productive with it, get-ting stronger all the way around; meaning they are well-trained athletes who are willing to do the work to be that athlete. It is a com-bination of their work ethic along with their ability that really makes them success-ful.”

cial skill set to the team. WHS Defensive Coordi-nator Tyler Dueck talked about Joel Seiferling as ar-guably being the best high school defensive back in the province. An argument fur-ther reinforced by him be-ing awarded the top Defen-sive Back in the Roughrider Bowl played the last week-end in May this year. Dueck explained: “For a kid that size, 6’3”, playing that position, his speed, his footwork, quickness is un-believeable. It is usually small guys in that position. You have to be quick in that change of direction; to burst from being stopped is such a huge part of playing that po-sition. Joel does it as well as the little guys but he is 6’3”.

bRAndOn MckiMMOn Dueck discussed Brandon McKimmon role: “He plays defensive end for Team Sask. That is where he fits. On our team we had him at middle linebacker. He is too good a player to confine him to one side of the field and let teams run away from him all game. By keying him in the middle, he has a chance to go to where the

ball is and you are going to impact every play. He is so smart, he knows where the ball is. He is at the line of scrimmage before the ball.” It is not only athletic abil-lity but also his diligence in preparation. Dueck added, “He works on film, and does that type of preparation dur-ing the week. He watches and knows where the other team will be by the time the game rolls around. He is not guessing, he is anticipating. Brandon is a special player that way.” “He is a good player but he also is so smart at directing other players on the field.” Coach Scheidt also talk-ed about this. “We got guys like him and Joel that have the football knowledge and experience. We have other guys who are good athletes without as much football knowledge who need a little guidance and those two help them along.”

jESSE EnS On the offensive side of the ball Coach Schneidt talked about the develop-ment of Jesse Ens. He said, “Jesse came to our program as an offensive

lineman. That is what he expected to play, wanted to play. We had a luxury with Jesse as a Grade 10, where we didn’t have to play him full time. He kind of got to work his way in and by the end of that year was playing more and more, to the point last year in Grade 11 he was well on his way to being a dominant offensive lineman where you could design your offense around that.” “Now add another year, bigger,stronger, faster. As far as our world goes he is going to be a dominant, dominant force. Obviously playing at this level (Team Saskatchewan) not many kids playing 9-man football make that team.” Having the opportunity to play with and against the best players in Canada will only continue the develop-ment of these talented ath-letes. The Saskatchewan team is scheduled to have a train-ing camp at U of S from July 6-8 before departing for Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec on July 9. Their first game is scheduled against New Brunswick on Monday, July 13.

A tornado has struck the trailer park. And like with any natural disaster, it’s going to take weeks and weeks to clean up. The 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders’ regular season began in the worst possible fashion Saturday night as quarterback Darian Durant left the lid-lifting game just before halftime on a cart. Durant’s Riders were trail-ing the visiting Winnipeg Blue Bombers 15-14 at the time. With back-up pivot Kev-in Glenn coming in for Durant for the second half, Saskatchewan flirted with the lead. The game was tied 23-23 going into the fourth quarter and Saskatchewan even led by a field goal with 10 minutes to go. However at the same time

Durant was being assessed by the club’s doctors, Bomb-er quarterback Drew Wil-ly was impressively leading his team to a startling upset victory. When the clock struck 0:00, the Blue Bombers were on top 26-23. And the bad news was just beginning. Rider head coach Corey Chamblin told a packed postgame news conference that they’d have an official assessment of Durant’s sta-tus later on Saturday night and that the team would in-form the world of the news

via a news conference Mon-day morning. Minutes after the press-er was adjourned, Cham-blin was handed the fate-ful news. Durant, the Face of the Franchise, had suf-fered a ruptured left Achil-les tendon and his 2015 sea-son was over. It had lasted less than 30 minutes. Cham-blin even asked if they could re-assemble the media but by then it was too late. And with that, the entire Rider Nation was sent reel-ing. Assuredly the

Roughriders never felt they’d have to cash in on the insurance policy that is Kevin Glenn this soon. They’d stated publicly that they’d hoped Glenn wouldn’t have to be used, except spar-ingly, at all this year. And the 36-year old quarterback was fine with that. Now, it’s Kevin Glenn’s team. The 2014 season went down the tubes in mid-Sep-tember when Durant suf-fered that season-ending right elbow injury in Win-nipeg’s Banjo Bowl. Now, many are writing the 2015 season off as well. Season ticket holders were offering up their seats on so-cial media for the balance of the season before midnight even struck on Saturday. But it’s far, far too soon for that. As stated at the be-

Is it too early to write off the Riders’ 2015 season?ginning of this column, the damage is still being as-sessed. And it extends well beyond Durant. “Shea Emry was down, Nic Demski was down, Keenan MacDougall was down, and Marshay Green,” Chamblin huffed at the news conference, refer-ring to their rash of injured starters. “Hell, everybody but me almost. That was tough. The toughest part is they worked their tails off all camp to get in shape and then a bug bites us all at one time. There’s no amount of prep you can do for that.” I’m not kidding. It was lit-erally like a tornado blast-ed that locker room. The postgame quotes were grief-stricken. “It sucks. For real,” groaned defensive end Alex Hall. “It just really sucks. We didn’t execute. A lot of fundamental mistakes. Winnipeg did a good job cap-italizing on our mistakes and doing what they’re sup-posed to do.” Sophomore receiver/re-turner Ryan Smith was equally stunned, moments after admirably filling in for injured veteran Weston Dressler. He was quick to look to the immediate fu-ture with Kevin Glenn at the helm. “Anytime you see a player like (Durant) go out, I kind of lost my breath,” Smith ad-mitted on CKRM’s postgame show. “You gotta bounce

By JAMES [email protected] When Sportsman divi-sion race car drivers cross the finish line at Auto Clear-ing Motor Speedway on Sat-urday, July 18, it will be to raise money for a worthy cause. The speedway will be host-ing its ‘Ride for a Cure’ fundraiser for cancer re-search, with all proceeds of the race benefitting families in Saskatoon and surround-ing areas. This charity race is one of more than five the racing

organization has held over the years. It is also the first time Sportsman class driv-ers have been involved with the fundraiser. Laurel Thompson, who is helping to organize the event, said she already has 20 drivers confirm they will participate in the 100-lap charity race. Thompson said the race has attracted Sportsman di-vision drivers from Alberta and British Columbia. In 2013 the speedway’s Thunder class drivers helped raised $35,000. The

Auto Clearing to host ‘Ride for a Cure’ racemajority of that money was used to help cancer patients get transportation to their therapies. Thompson said her son Ryan, who is driving in the Sportsman class this year, wanted to organize the fundraiser in memory of his grandmother, who passed away from cancer. Thompson said everyone has a reason for participat-ing in this fundraiser. “In our family right now I have a sister-in-law that is fighting hard to survive this. Personally my real

mom and my stepmom died of cancer. My son said: ‘Mom, I want to do this for Gram.’ I said, ‘perfect rea-son. You do what you need to do’,” said Thompson. The day’s event will fea-ture six classes of vehi-cles including the Bandi-no Class, which is made up of 12 to 14-year-olds. The fundraiser is open to all classes who want to con-tribute. There will also be fundraising competition aprizes awarded to the driv-er that raises the most mon-ey. Race time starts at 6 p.m.

back. We rallied around K.G. and he’s been a great player for a long time. We’re excited to play for and with him.” When Durant went down last year, the whole world could see the team sagged over its final nine games. However the Riders’ brain-trust felt they adequately made steps in the off-season to ensure that wouldn’t hap-pen again. Time will tell. But Durant can’t tack-le, nor can Glenn. And the Riders’ shoddy defensive play was as much, or more, of a culprit in Week 1 than any injury to their starting quarterback. “It was poor tackling,” Chamblin admitted. “We’re a better tackling team, or we will be, than we were to-night. The offense had their trials but they had their suc-cesses too. Special teams had some troubles. It was 30-26 but we still had a chance. If we can correct those things, we’ll be back in the swing of it.” Again, the damage is still being assessed. And it’s major. In fact it’s the most devastating set of circum-stances to happen to this franchise since the 2009 Grey Cup and the infamous 13th Man incident. Who in the world saw this coming? A natural disaster indeed. (Rod Pedersen is the Voice of the Roughriders on the CKRM Rider Radio Network)

With smoke from northern forest fires creating a per-vasive haze in the air, para-medics are suggesting res-idents of the region should exercise care when out-doors. Troy Davies of MD Am-bulance said this week’s weather conditions may wreak havoc for individuals suffering from respiratory illnesses. “Our main concern is for patients who suffer from

asthma or other respirato-ry illnesses like emphysema or COPD,” stated Davies. “If you do suffer from some sort of respiratory illness we are recommending you stay in-doors when the smoke is particularly thick. “If you have to be outside ensure that you have your inhaler with you. We are also warning healthy indi-viduals who normally run or enjoy outdoor physical fit-ness to avoid doing this out-

side during these condi-tions.” Elderly people, children, and individuals suffering from respiratory illnesses are more sensitive to these types of weather conditions, said Davies. “If you start experiencing shortness of breath, wheez-ing, or chest tightness with no relief with your medi-cation, we recommend you see your physician or call EMS,” he said.

Smoke aggravates respiratory illness

The sun shone brightly on Aberdeen as residents celebrated their annual Fun Day on Saturday, June 27. The day started with town councilors preparing a pancake breakfast that raised a total of $650 toward Aberdeen’s Learn to Skate program. The Sunset Rangers Multiple 4-H Club also held their Achievement Day at the Riding arena. This was followed by a parade, with lots of activities and good food at the Sports grounds. An outdoor movie and fireworks display topped off a great day.

The Government of Sas-katchewan is investing $500,000 in a new beach ser-vice centre at Blackstrap Provincial Park. Work will begin immediately on the new service centre, which will provide safe and acces-sible public washroom and shower facilities. “Saskatchewan’s provin-cial parks are more popular

Province upgrading beach facilities at Blackstrap Provincial Parkthan ever, and Blackstrap is no exception,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minis-ter Mark Docherty said. “A large number of people vis-it this park to take advan-tage of its fantastic day use facilities. This project will greatly enhance those facil-ities and make Blackstrap an even more enjoyable place to visit.”

The current building is more than 45 years old and does not contain shower or accessible washroom facil-ities. A public tender was issued for this project and Carmont Construction Ltd. of Saskatoon was the suc-cessful bidder. The work on this new ser-vice centre is scheduled to begin immediately and con-

tinue through the spring of 2016. The new building is projected to open in the summer of 2016. This investment is in ad-dition to a previously an-nounced $2.9 million camp-ground development at Blackstrap Provincial Park. The total investment in Blackstrap Provincial Park in the 2015-16 Budget is

nearly $3.5 million. With these projects, the total investment in this park since 2008-09 is more than $5 million. These cap-ital projects will improve the overall visitor experi-ence at the park. Funding for capital projects and up-grades in provincial parks will total $14.6 million in 2015-16.

This funding meets the government’s commitment to invest an additional $10 million on expansion and growth opportunities in provincial parks over four years, for a total investment of more than $53 million in this time period. Details on further projects will be an-nounced throughout the summer.

The RM of Corman Park is proceeding with a study to determine whether the current number and dura-tion of train whistles are needed at six level cross-ings in the southeast cor-ner of the municipality. A report by the RM’s pub-lic works committee on the subject was presented to a meeting of Corman Park council on June 15. The re-port outlined an estimated budgt for the Train Whistle Cessation Railway Study for for six active railway crossings with the proj-ect limits located in the CN Watrous Subdivision. At a May 4, 2015 council meeting a delegation of res-idents in the area called for changes. At that time council

passed a motion for the mu-nicipality to complete a safety assessment study on all six of the affected cross-ings in southeast Corman Park located at Range Road 3041, 3042, 3043, 3044, 3045 and 3050 at the estimated cost of $12,000-18,000. CIMA will be the agency conducting the assessment. CIMA has provided the RM with the proposed scope, schedule and fee estimate for the completion of the study. The estimated proj-ect budget for the study is $19,734 including disburse-ments but exclusive of ap-plicable taxes.

GATEWAY CORRIDOR Within the 2015 budget there was $50,000 allot-ted to do a trial run for the

Gateway Corridor program. The program is intend-ed to bring the service lev-el of particular roads up to a higher standard. The se-lected roads were based on current and future traf-fic volumes, traffic types, amount of maintenance currently given and the amount of maintenance re-quired. The Department of Pub-lic Works determined that Beam Road would be the ideal choice to utilize this funding. This road would become dust-free with an approved chemical (calci-um or magnesium), which would reduce aggregate losses by up to 30 per cent. It would also protect the $130,000 worth of base sta-bilization work recent-

As temperatures rise, so does your chance of con-tracting West Nile Virus from the Culex tarsalis mos-quitoes that are more active in hot weather. Typically, the mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus are active from mid-July to the end of August. The lev-el of risk depends largely on the weather. Most people who get in-fected with West Nile Virus will experience no symp-toms, or only mild ones like fever, headaches and body aches. However, there is a small chance of developing a more serious illness, West Nile Virus neuroinvasive disease. This can lead to in-

flammation of the brain and even death. “The majority of peo-ple who get West Nile Vi-rus will not need medical attention and will improve on their own,” Saskatche-wan’s Deputy Chief Medi-cal Health Officer Dr. De-nise Werker said. “However, a patient should see a doctor immediately if they develop serious symptoms like a per-sistent fever, neck stiffness, severe headaches, confu-sion, seizures or paralysis.” Since 2003, there have been 157 severe neurological cases and 17 deaths in Sas-katchewan. “To reduce your potential exposure to West Nile Vi-

rus, take steps to avoid get-ting bitten by mosquitoes while out enjoying our beau-tiful Saskatchewan sum-mers,” Provincial West Nile Virus Co-ordinator Phil Curry said. Minimize your exposure to mosquito bites: Use appropriate insect re-pellent when outdoors; Cover up. Wear light coloured, loose fitting, long-sleeved tops and long pants when outdoors; and Reduce the amount of time spent outdoors between dusk and dawn. The peak mosquito hours are around dusk and dawn, but Culex mosquitoes will also bite during the night.

CLARENCE AVE REPAIRS A section of Clarence Ave-nue in Corman Park imme-diately south of Saskatoon is in need of complete re-pair. According to a report to council from the RM’s pub-lic works committee, this localized area has standing water which has complete-ly saturated the sub-base, causing total failure. The repair would consist of rebuilding the sub-base

with new material and a geo-technical liner with a final layer of asphalt being applied. Informal quotes reveal the repairs will cost about $180,000. This project was not in-cluded in the recent budget and will require a trans-fer of reserve funds to com-plete.

GRAVEL SUPPLY The RM of Corman Park decided to continue using Pilka Trucking to supply and haul gravel until 2017.Pilka Trucking is current-ly one of the RM approved

contractors for hauling and supplying gravel for the 2015 season. Over the past two years the RM had ten-dered stock piling and sup-ply of Tonne of Type 106 traffic gravel as part of their yearly gravel pro-gram. Unit bid prices for the past two years ran any-where from $26-$46 for sup-ply and stock piling. The trucking company offered a two year contract price to haul 8,000 yards per year of Type 106 traffic gravel for all-in pricing delivered onto the roads for $32 per yard. The total yearly cost for both years will be $256,000.

By TERRY [email protected] A rapid response by fire-fighters from Osler and Warman snuffed out a grassfire that threatened at least one building on an acreage southeast of Osler on Thursday, June 25. A handful of Osler FIre Rescue volunteer firefight-ers responded to the call, which came in about 4:00 p.m., with a wildland truck and water tender unit. They quickly requested backup from Warman Fire Rescue. The fire apparently start-ed when a controlled burn in a woodpile near an old barn on the acreage spread to the surrounding long

grass. Despite the lifting of a fire ban last week in the RM of Corman Park, the ground cover in most parts of the region is still very dry. Fanned by a light north-westerly breeze, the fire be-gan to spread rapidly and a column of grey smoke could be seen for several miles. The firefighters set up por-table water tanks and used water supplies from trucks to douse the fire. The blaze was quickly brought under control and was totally extinguished in under an hour. No one was injured in the incident, and no buildings were damaged.

In a contested nomination in Martensville Thursday evening, June 25, Jasmine Calix was chosen as the New Democrat candidate. “I’m thrilled to have Jas-mine on our team because it’s clear that she’s a strong voice for what matters most to families and young peo-ple in this constituency,” said NDP Leader Cam Bro-ten, who spoke at the nomi-nation meeting. “The people of the Mar-tensville-Warman constitu-ency are increasingly feel-ing like this government is taking them for grant-ed, and they’re not happy about that. Just look at the Sask. Party’s cuts to educa-tion in this region. The local Sask. Party MLA was part of those decisions. This con-stituency needs to vote for change and Jasmine Calix will deliver on that.” Calix lives in Martens-ville and works as an as-sistant coordinator of the Crime-Free Multi-Housing

program with the Saskatoon Police Service. She serves on the Martensville Hous-ing Authority and the Sas-katchewan Arts Board. “The Sask. Party has had eight long years of record revenues, but we keep see-ing cuts and neglect of what matters most to people, like health care, education and infrastructure,” said Calix. “Like a growing number of people in this constituen-cy, I’m tired of this govern-ment taking Martensville-Warman for granted. That’s why I’ve chosen to run for elected office – to give this constituency the kind of rep-resentation it deserves.” Calix’s previous experi-ence includes working in the Canadian Embassy in Washington, as a research analyst with the Univer-sity of Saskatchewan, and with the Saskatchewan Mu-nicipal Board. She earned a Master of Arts degree in Po-litical Science from the Uni-versity of Saskatchewan.

In May 2015, Great Plains College Swift Current Cam-pus obtained its interna-tional designation through the Ministry of Advanced Education. As such, International stu-dents can now enrol in the Business and Administra-tive Assistant programs at Swift Current Campus. “We recognize the current and looming labour short-age in Saskatchewan and the desire to have access to skilled graduates,” says Keleah Ostrander, direc-tor of planning. “By being able to accept International students and support them through post-secondary ed-ucation, we are able to help meet the needs of employers in the province.” “The designation of the Administrative Assistant and Business programs is only the starting point. We believe it will open the doors to many possibilities for the institution,” added Ostrander. Great Plains College is the second Saskatchewan Re-gional College to receive in-ternational designation. This past year, the Sas-katchewan Government an-nounced the launch of the International Education Strategy. The strategy includes the goal to increase the number

of International students studying in the province by 75 per cent from 3,500 to 6,200. “I’m pleased Great Plains College achieved this desig-nation to educate students from around the globe,” Minister of Advanced Edu-cation Scott Moe said. “This initiative supports the prov-ince’s goal of building eco-nomic and cultural bridges between Saskatchewan and the rest of the world.” The Administrative Assis-tant program provides prac-tical and applied training in word processing, account-ing, spreadsheets, database and Internet searches, of-fice procedures, communi-cations and business calcu-lations. The program is competen-cy based, meaning that stu-dents can work and learn at their own pace. The Business program is designed to help students build a strong foundation for their future. Through the program, they are pre-pared to enter the work-force with foundational learning for careers in ac-counting, administration, financial services, human resources, insurance or marketing or pursue an en-trepreneurial lead. Students who graduate from the Business program

are able to bridge their ed-ucation to complete a di-ploma from Saskatchewan Polytechnic or transition to University studies and ap-ply credits to degrees such as business management and chartered accounting. Admissions to the Ad-ministrative Assistant and Business certificate pro-grams are evaluated on a first come, first served ba-sis, provided that students meet entrance eligibili-ty criteria. Full-time Inter-national students are also eligible for a $500-5,000 Entrance Scholarship, pro-vided they are accepted into the program and meet the application deadlines set by the college. International students whose primary language is not English and-or their country is not exempt, will need to meet the require-ments of English language skills in speaking, listen-ing, reading and writing necessary to be success-ful in the program to which they have applied. For more information, vis-it greatplainscollege.ca/in-ternational or book an ap-pointment with Margaret Schafer, Great Plains Col-lege international student adviser, by calling 306-773-1531 or toll-free 1-866-296-2472.

Four Saskatoon men are facing charges following a drug trafficking investiga-tion by the Saskatoon Inte-grated Drug Enforcement Street Team (SIDEST). At approximately 4:50 p.m., June 24, 2015, mem-bers of SIDEST observed a man operating a vehicle making a number of drug transactions that were con-sistent with trafficking. A high-risk vehicle stop was conducted in a parking lot in the 1700 block of Pres-ton Avenue North and the driver and two passengers were taken into custody. As a result of the vehi-cle stop, SIDEST executed a

search warrant on an apart-ment in the 400 block of Central Avenue and arrest-ed a two additional individ-uals. As a result of the inves-tigation, SIDEST seized a total of 152 Fentanyl pills (counterfeit OxyContin), $7165 in cash, 4.3g of co-caine, 74 grams of hash-ish, 40mL of morphine and 45mL of liquid cocaine. The 20-year-old is facing charges of Trafficking Fen-tanyl, Possession of Fentan-yl for the Purpose of Traf-ficking (x2), Possession of Proceeds of Crime Under and Over $5000, Possession of a Prohibited Weapon,

Saskatoon Regional Health Authority has approved Saskatoon Health Region’s balanced operating bud-get of $1.156 billion for 2015-16 and $39.6 million in new capital expenditures, based on strategies to improve ser-vices to patients. The health region ap-proved the budget at a meet-ing on Wednesday, June 24. Over the last five years, Saskatoon and area’s pop-ulation has increased 15.3 percent and demand for Saskatoon Health Region healthcare services has also grown, including a 17.3 per cent increase in hospi-tal stays, a 12.1 per cent in-crease in hospital births, and a 10 per cent increase in surgeries. The increase in demand has been managed with a 5.9 percent (net of in-flation) increase in spend-ing. “Just over 90 days ago, Saskatoon Health Region initiated a breakthrough pa-tient flow strategy focused on meeting this increased demand for our care and the changing healthcare needs of our population by pro-viding people with the right

care in the right place at the right time,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Dan Florizone. “The 90 Days of Innovation: Ready Every Day patient flow initiative saw chronic overcapacity drop significantly, inappro-priate patient care spaces closed and an increase to community-based supports. All this is improving servic-es to patients while making efficient use of taxpayer dol-lars.” The 2015-16 budget is built on a strategy to achieve $41.66 million in cost reduc-tions, or the equivalent cost of about 13 days of opera-tion, which will address a projected gap between 2015-16 revenue and expenses of $22.3 million and the $19.36 million 2014-15 deficit. This strategy includes: $13.7 million in anticipat-ed savings from patient flow initiatives including those arising from 90 Days of In-novation $21 million savings from reduced overtime, sick time and turnover costs, since Region-wide efforts to elim-inate overcapacity also en-hance employee work-life

balance $6.96 million in savings from management of non-unionized vacant positions and reduced administra-tive spending (supplies, con-tracts travel) The 2015-16 capital plan fo-cuses on the Region’s most critical infrastructure, in-formation technology and equipment needs such as nurse call systems and gen-erator replacements. “We have only just begun to see the benefits of our pri-ority work coming out of 90 Days of Innovation: Ready Every Day,” says Florizone. “By approaching our work differently than we have in the past, we plan to avoid deficits in the future. Most importantly, our change in approach will help employ-ees and physicians provide the right care in the right place and time. By focusing on doing what is right for patients, families, residents and clients, and making the right investments, we know the path we are on will lead us not only to a healthier budget with better value, but better teams, and most of all, better care.”
