No injuries in two-vehicle collisionat Wanuskewin Road and Highway 11By HILARY [email protected] A two vehicle collision at a hazardous intersec-tion just as the sun rose on March 11 could have been a lot worse, according to Corporal Ken Aspen of the Warman RCMP. “Miraculously, no one was injured,” he said. At approximately 7:30

a.m. at the intersection of Wanuskewin Road and Highway 11, a west-bound vehicle on Highway 11 was struck by a vehicle pro-ceeding north across the intersection. “They both ended up in the ditch,” said Aspen. “A few more inches and it would have been a lot worse.” He added that the

volume of traffic is sig-nificant and the infra-structure, unfortunately, is not keeping up. “Hope-fully with time that will change.” A woman driving an SUV proceeded across the intersection when unsafe and struck a gentleman driving an Acura SUV. Emergency medical

personnel on the scene checked the drivers for injuries and there were none. Corporal Aspen was managing traffic while of-ficers assessed the scene. Traffic heading into Saskatoon was down to one lane as tow trucks pulled both vehicles from the ditch.

Osler Museum closing its doorsBy TERRY [email protected] After 36 years, the Osler Historical Museum is clos-ing its doors for the last time. “It’s tough to let go of something like this after so long,” said Hella Banman, a long-serving member of the Osler Historical Museum committee. “But we didn’t really have any other op-tion. We just can’t afford to keep it open anymore. “It’s with a heavy heart that we came to this final decision. We are all sorry to see it go.” The museum, located on 2nd Avenue in Osler, con-sists of three buildings in-cluding a house, school and storage shed on town-owned property. The house, built in 1942, was donated to the town and converted to a museum by volunteers. The school building was the community’s original one-room schoolhouse and was moved to the location. Both the house and the school buildings are in need of substantial repairs, and the cost was just too expen-sive, said Banman. “We were working on fix-ing the house museum,” she said. “The basement was flooding in spring, so we were wanting to build a new basement and move the house onto it. “Then during this, we also saw that the school mu-seum was in need of a lot of repairs. We contacted sever-al contractors and everyone declined. “The town could not help us, no grants were avail-able, and we couldn’t see ourselves doing any more fundraising. “All that was left for us to do was close up.” The estimated cost for the work would have been well over $150,000. The contents of the muse-

made the difficult decision to close the museum after 36 years of operation.um will be sold at auction on Saturday, June 4, with the proceeds going to Osler Fire Rescue. “The firefighters and first responders are all volun-teers like us, and they al-ways need funds to up-grade equipment,” she said. “They’re also working to finish off the work in their new fire hall.” Osler Museum committee member Nettie Balzer said some articles in the muse-um have already found a new home. “Volunteers at the muse-um in Waldheim have pur-chased some items, includ-ing the mannequins and some clothing, for use in that museum, said Balzer. “So a part of our collection is now on display there.” Items that were on loan to the Osler museum are being returned to the donors, she added. “The deadline for people to pick up the arti-facts they loaned to the mu-seum is March 19.” Donors may retrieve their items by contacting Nettie

Balzer at [email protected]. The museum’s roots go back to 1980, when a tempo-rary display was set up in the Osler town office for the community’s homecoming event. “Jake and Margaret Loep-pky were the ones who orig-inally did a lot of work on that project,” said Banman, who has been a committee member since the begin-ning. “When the homecom-ing was over, people didn’t want the furniture back, so we decided to set up a per-manent museum. “We were given space in the basement and a couple of guys built a partial roof with shingles so it looked like a building inside this room. We also had a little room where we exhibited barn stuff. “That became our first museum space.” The museum artifacts were later moved when a house was made available by the town. Built in 1942, the house originally be-

longed to Mr. and Mrs. Rem-pel. The house was ren-ovated by volunteers to accommodate donations of artifacts. A few years later, the one-room schoolhouse was moved onto the town-owned property. The original desk from the town’s railway sta-tion was set up in a special display in the school build-ing. A professionally-produced video about the history of the school was produced by the committee last summer. Throughout its 36-year history, the museum has re-lied on volunteer labour and fundraising. Local schoolchildren ben-efited from tours of the house and school for many years. The museum was also a member of the Sas-katchewan Museums Asso-ciation. In recent years, howev-er, the number of volunteers has declined, and costs have risen, said Banman. Van-dalism has also become a serious problem, she said.

Fraud schemes reel in victims of all ages: Trainor

By TERRY [email protected] While seniors are usual-ly viewed as vulnerable po-tential scam victims, fraud artists are increasingly tar-geting young adults, accord-ing to Brian Trainor, a for-mer police officer and an expert on the subject. “There is no lack of scams aimed at seniors; but the most vulnerable group is actually the new genera-tion of 20-somethings, who do a lot of buying online,” said Trainor in a telephone interview on Wednes-day, March 9. “That’s why they’re getting caught in the scam artists’ nets. They see those ads on Facebook for beautiful clothes at re-ally cheap prices and they think they’re legitimate. They’re not. They’re scams. And that’s just one exam-ple.” Trainor said young adults tend to be a bit naive be-cause they are short on “life experiences.” They like to share their person-al life through social me-dia and they also tend to be impulsive when it comes to making purchases online. He said the best insur-ance policy against scams is “a healthy skepticism.” “Do your homework,” he advised. “Don’t take things at face value. If you think something sounds fishy, it’s a good idea to listen to that little voice in the back of your head warning you something’s not right. Google is your best friend. You’d be surprised how many scams you can uncov-er just by looking on the in-ternet.” Trainor said fraud schemes usually show up on your telephone or in your e-mail. “Scams tend to be season-

al,” said Trainor. “They’re like the ‘flavour of the month’. This month, we’re seeing a lot of phony tax fraud calls and e-mails. In February, with Valentine’s Day on everybody’s mind, it was the ‘lonely hearts’ variety. Before that it was Christmas.” Trainor said the Cana-da Revenue Agency (CRA) would never phone or e-mail anyone requesting personal information. “They already have that,” he said. “Anytime you get a call asking for that kind of personal data, that’s a red flag. Hang up immediate-ly. It’s not against the law to put down the receiver. The longer you stay on the line the better your chances of being sucked in.” He said phone scams of-ten target new Canadians and recent immigrants. “Lots of times the scams play on people’s fears,” said Trainor. “The fraud art-ist may pretend to be a po-lice officer. If a new Canadi-an, who is unfamiliar with Canadian laws, comes from a country where law en-forcement agencies aren’t as honest as they are here, they can be intimidated by these types of threatening calls.” He said victims of fraud are often reluctant to step forward because of embar-rassment and fear. “An elderly person may not want to tell anyone they’ve been scammed be-cause they think they may lose their independence,” said Trainor. “There’s a lot of fraudulent schemes tak-ing place all around us. Only about 10 per cent of it actually gets reported. It’s like an iceberg where 90 per cent of it is underwater and not visible.”

Family-owned funeral home in Martensville expandingBy TERRY [email protected] Celebrating the life sto-ry of a loved one who has passed on is important to family members, says Kev-in Martens, owner of Cher-ished Memories Funeral Services and Crematory in Martensville. The funeral home, which has been a fixture in the community for the past ten years, is currently building a 3700 square foot addition in order to accommodate a “life story room.” “A traditional funeral home may call it a chapel,” said Martens. “But it’s de-signed to be much more than that. It’s meant to be a gathering place where a person’s life story can be shared in whatever way the family feels is best. We will have a lot of technol-ogy in that room to help families hold a themed re-membrance event. That in-cludes a high definition pro-jector and a screen across the entire front. It will al-

low the family to put togeth-er a sampling of their loved one’s life story with pic-tures and music as a trib-ute. “It’s a way of helping the healing process, and also helping the family feel the support from the communi-ty.” Martens is one of two “certified celebrants” on staff at Cherished Memo-ries. “We are trained story-tellers,” said Martens. “So what we’ll do is sit down with the family for two to three hours, or however long it takes, and we will collect stories and incorpo-rate that into the service, so you have those personal touches.” While the owners and staff will do all they can to help a family that wants to hold a traditional church service, Martens said there’s a growing sector of the population that may prefer an alternative. “I’ve been in this profes-

sion for about 20 years, and more and more we’re see-ing families that aren’t con-nected with a church,” said Martens. “For the past ten years we’ve always encour-aged families to share their memories of their loved ones and remember the good times. Now we’ll be able to do that within our own venue.” The addition will be able to accommodate about 200 people, and will more than double the square footage of the building, which also in-cludes a crematorium. “In the past ten years, a lot has changed,” said Mar-tens. “More families are choosing cremation over a traditional casket service.” Martens said while most people don’t like to think about death, it’s a very real part of everyone’s life. “It’s always a difficult time for families when they lose a loved one, but we do our best to help them hon-our their memory and cele-brate their life,” he said.

Dalmeny Police are cur-rently investigating a break-in that occurred on Sunday morning, March 13. According to police, the Dalmeny AG Foods store was broken into and an un-disclosed amount of money was taken as well as several

to the mall. Witnesses described the people responsible as young-er males approximately 5’9” to 6’ tall wearing lumber jackets. Police believe these acts were done by residents of Dalmeny and are asking for assistance in this matter.

Gordie Howe gives Asquith rink fundraising effort a boostBy TERRY [email protected] The Asquith arena is a lot like hundreds of other small town rinks built in the mid-1960s. With natural ice, wooden arches holding up a sloped roof, and a few bleachers along the boards, it’s kept open through the long win-ter months because of a lot of hard work by a few dedi-cated volunteers. While it’s always a strug-gle to pay for repairs, insur-ance and everyday main-tenance costs, community members pitch in to keep it open for the kids who love to play Canada’s national game. Hockey legend Gordie Howe understands why lo-cal rinks in small-town Sas-katchewan are so impor-tant. “Mr. Hockey” was born in Floral and raised in Saskatoon, where he learned to skate on outdoor natural ice using oversized, second-hand blades. His tal-ent, strength and grit pro-pelled him into the NHL in the late 1940s when he was still a raw teenager. He went on to achieve legendary sta-tus in Motor City during a stellar career in the 1950s and 1960s, helping the De-troit Red Wings win four Stanley Cups. After a short-lived retire-ment, Howe beat the odds in an amazing comeback bid, and went on to play in the World Hockey Associ-ation and NHL alongside his sons Mark and Marty

in the 1970s, and he holds a record for longevity in the pro ranks that will never be equalled, let alone broken. But through all those years in the professional ranks, Howe never forgot his roots, or his extended family back home in Sas-katchewan. Now, at the age of 87 (he’ll turn 88 in a few weeks), and in failing health, Howe is

stepping up to the plate once again. Earlier this month, he do-nated a personally-auto-graphed Red Wings jersey to the Asquith rink board. The jersey will be the grand prize in a lottery to be held this fall in an effort to raise money for the rink. The hope is the venture will generate sufficient funds to help keep the As-

quith rink open a few more years so Howe’s great-grand niece and great-grand neph-ew and their friends can play minor hockey in their home town. Eleven-year-old Aella Bol-dis and her eight-year-old brother Ares both partici-pate in their community’s hockey program. They’re the offspring of Chuck Bol-dis and his wife Shannon. Chuck is a grand-nephew of Gordie Howe. (Chuck’s

mother is Gordie Howe’s niece.) He and his fami-ly have lived in Asquith for about eight years. Chuck and Shannon also have an-other daughter, Haelynn, who is three years old. “Originally, my uncle Gor-die signed two jerseys for my kids,” said Chuck in a phone interview on Wednes-day, March 9. “My mom got hold of her cousin, Mur-ray, who is Gordie’s son, and asked if Gordie would sign another one and donate it to the rink. Gordie didn’t hes-itate. That’s just the kind of guy he is, and has always been. He’s very generous. All he asked in return was that he get a ‘thank you’ from the community. “So we got all the kids to-gether in the rink with their team jerseys on the weekend before all the ice melted and we filmed a video of them saying thank you to Gordie Howe. “That same evening was when we presented the two

jerseys to my kids. It was a surprise. They didn’t know they were getting them.” Chuck said he has fond memories of his great-un-cle’s visits to Saskatchewan. “My grandma, Edna, was four years older than Gor-die,” said Chuck. “She al-ways stuck up for him in school and she’s the one who taught him how to fight and how to skate.” Jodi Nehring, secretary of the Asquith rink board, said the group is applying for a lottery license, and once it’s approved, they’ll start sell-ing tickets on the jersey. The draw will be made in the spring of 2017. “This is a huge deal for us,” said Nehring. “We’re all so excited. Our hockey pro-gram is very healthy with a lot of kids taking part, and we’re hoping to provide more on-ice activities dur-ing the winter for families. We want to make the rink the gathering place for our town in the winter months.”

TERRY JENSON | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

By TERRY [email protected] When it comes to working together to create a strong and vibrant business com-munity, the Martensville Chamber of Commerce and Warman Chamber of Com-merce are making others sit up and pay attention. Speaking to about 40 members at a luncheon on Friday, March 11 at the Can-alta Inn in Martensville, Warman Chamber of Com-merce director Jade Gulash said the upcoming business excellence awards is break-ing new ground in Sas-katchewan. “We keep saying it over and over again but it’s no small task to bring two chambers of commerce from two different communities together,” she remarked. “It’s totally unprecedented.” Gulash added that the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce is awestruck that the two organizations have joined forces to pres-ent awards in five catego-ries on May 27. “One of my favourite terms in business is ‘co-opitition’ and I really be-lieve that if we can all highlight each other’s busi-nesses and competition that we are creating in our business communities, our business communities as a whole are going to progress and show a lot of improve-ment,” she explained. According to Gulash, the business excellence awards is one method that will help create additional aware-ness of the Warman and Martensville business com-

munities and draw in con-sumers from Saskatoon and other areas. Guest speaker Lana Shep-pard of Cheques ‘n Balanc-es Business Services Inc. is a success story when it comes to business excel-lence awards and applaud-ed the effort put forth by the Warman Chamber of Commerce and Martens-ville Chamber of Commerce to present a joint awards night. Having been nomi-nated and won a Great-er Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce SABEX award, Sheppard imparted some wisdom to all business-es whether they have been

nominated or not. “In 2009, we had a cli-ent nominate us for a SA-BEX award and we filled out the application and went through the whole process,” Sheppard recalled. “What we learned (from the appli-cation process) is answering those questions and real-ly thinking about your busi-ness. So, although there’s an award at the end, the pro-cess is invaluable. You go through thinking about cus-tomer service to your mar-keting, what you’re doing well and what you’re not do-ing well.” Sheppard brought her staff together and spent a significant amount of time

over three to four days col-laborating on the applica-tion. Together, they identi-fied areas of strength and were able to pinpoint weak-nesses or areas of the busi-ness that needed improve-ment. Over the next few years, the company made improvements and was named winner of the 2015 SABEX Small Business of the Year. “One thing I’ve learned as a business owner is that sometimes you get wrapped up in the day-to-day stuff in your business rather than on your business so this is an opportunity for every-body to kind of step back and think about where

Stormwater pond ice unsafe, city officials warnBy TERRY [email protected] Warmer weather in re-cent weeks has rendered the ice on stormwater ponds in Warman and Mar-tensville unsafe, according to city officials. “We’re strongly advising people to stay away from the ponds and not venture out onto the ice because of unsafe conditions,” said Warman Recreation and Community Services Man-ager Paul McGonigal. “It’s just not worth the risk.” That message is echoed by Martensville Director of Recreation and Community Services Dave Bosch. “Definitely, at this time of year we recommend that people stay off the ice,” said Bosch. “Just a quick glance at the ice is usually enough to make people think twice. You can see the wa-ter in places so you know it’s starting to get very un-safe.” “Danger, thin ice” signs posted around stormwater reservoirs in Warman are a visible reminder to avoid the area, noted McGonigal. Stormwater retention ponds are not like natural water bodies, he added. “They behave different-ly because during periods when snow and ice melt on the streets in town, all the meltwater goes into the ponds through the storm drains,” he said. “The vol-ume of water in the reten-

tion ponds rises, and that in turn raises the ice. This can create cracks and weak spots.” Draining the water from the ponds also has implica-tions, he noted. “When the water level in the pond drops, that results in the creation of air pock-ets between the water and the ice, and that also makes it unsafe,” he said. Warning signs around the storm retention ponds in Warman have been in ef-fect since mid-February, noted McGonigal. “There was a day last month when it rained re-ally hard and we had a lot of runoff into the storm drains,” he said. “That re-sulted in a lot of water collecting in the ponds, which had a definite bear-

ing on the safety of the ice. It hasn’t really been safe since then, and the warmer temperatures have made it even more dangerous.” The City of Martensville also erected temporary warning signs around res-ervoirs in February in re-sponse to the rain, said Bosch. He added that those warning signs are once again in place and will likely stay there until the ice melts. McGonigal urged parents to explain the dangers of thin ice to their kids. “Even though there’s still snow cover in places, the ice underneath is rotting,” he said. “Melting ice tends to attract kids, so it’s im-portant that they under-stand they need to avoid those areas.”

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

It probably looks like the NDP is getting a tremen-dous jump in the 2016 elec-tion campaign. By the time Premier Brad Wall kicked off last Tuesday what will be a 28-day cam-paign, the NDP had already fired off a whole series of campaign announcements. It said it would reinstate the Saskatchewan Film Em-ployment Tax Credit. This may seem strict-ly like an urban issue, but with the number of past productions under the old SFETC taking place in smaller communities like Kipling, Gravelbourg, Estevan and, of course, Rou-leau (where both the Corner Gas television series and movie were shot) a lot of lo-cal business opportunities were created for smaller ru-ral communities. And that was just one of many announcements that NDP leader Cam Broten and his party ground out in the week before the campaign started. Broten also promised to “fix the worst ambulance-fee system in Canada by ending charges for transfers between facilities” and the “per-kilometre charges pa-tients pay.”

Saskatchewan is the only province charging for inter-facility hospital transfers and one of only two provinc-es topping up basic charg-es with a per-kilometre fee. One might think this, too, would be a big issue for ru-ral voters who often bear the brunt of the per-kilome-tre costs of ambulances. Broten also committed to a modest tax cut by increas-ing the basic personal ex-emption (pre-tax income) by $500; a move that would benefit 70 per cent of Sas-katchewan taxpayers. New Democrats would also increase taxes on the rich by creating a higher tax bracket for individual earnings over $175,000. Broten promised to have reinstated, by 2020, the old guarantee offered by the former Lorne Calvert NDP government of the low-est utility bill bundle in the country. The NDP ar-gued that while Saskatche-wan ratepayers used to pay $40 less per year than their

Manitoba neighbours, resi-dents in this province now pay $400 a year more. Broten also promised ex-panded and more accessi-ble mental health care for children by covering up to eight counselling sessions per year. He would also cre-ate two provincial men-tal health specialty clin-ics, use already-promised Quick Care clinics in Regi-na, Saskatoon, Prince Al-bert and Moose Jaw to in-crease availability and hire more workers. Also, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for many like professional fire-fighters would be covered through Workers’ Compen-sation by an NDP govern-ment. In what seems a more political move, the NDP would sell “Executive Air” for about $4 million, while converting at least one of planes used by cabinet min-isters to air ambulance use. The NDP took partic-ular glee at slamming Kindersley MLA and Econ-omy Minister Bill Boyd for running up the biggest Ex-ecutive Air bills. The pre-campaign festivi-ties also have Broten taking a less direct political shot

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

NDP getting ahead of campaignat Boyd by calling for an in-quiry into the Global Trans-portation Hub. You get the picture: Both in terms of politics and pol-icy, Broten and the NDP have clearly decided to get out ahead of the campaign. It’s a strategy, however, that may not work. For starters, it’s allowed Wall and the Sask. Party to cost out NDP spending ear-lier, too. The Sask. Party is now accusing Broten of hav-ing already committed to $5.5 billion in new spend-ing. Of course, such analysis from a political opponent needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, in an elec-tion that may be more about managing our money than spending it, this early NDP spending spree might not to be to its advantage. Finally, let us not forget how far back the NDP is. While getting a headstart may seem politically smart, it might also come across as a little desperate. In fact, it probably is. After all, if you couldn’t appeal to voters for the last nine years, are a whole bunch of promises now real-ly going to sway them?

By Todd MacKayCanadian Taxpayers Association Saskatchewan is attempting something that many have tried and few, if any, have accomplished: slaying a deficit while increasing spending. Premier Brad Wall’s government recently released its third-quarter budget update, which showed that the oper-ational surplus of $107 million projected in the budget last spring has turned into a deficit of $427 million. Falling re-source revenues are the main reason. The government rightly points out that it cannot control the price of oil or potash. However, it can control its spend-ing. When Saskatchewan families and businesses have less money, they typically react by spending less money. It seems the Saskatchewan government views things differently. Last spring’s provincial budget projected spending at $14.17 billion. Then oil prices plunged further than anyone imag-ined. Now, the third-quarter update projects government spending to be $110 million higher. So revenues went down, but spending went up. To be fair, massive budgets are hard to change quickly. Perhaps a longer-term plan is required to trim spending in response to falling revenues. Last spring, the budget projected next year’s spending at $14.47 billion. That’s an increase of $192 million. And that projection was made before the price for a barrel of oil fell to $30. Surely spending projections in the third-quarter update would be adjusted to reflect tighter revenues, right? Well, the update still projects next year’s spending at $14.47 billion and projects average spending increases of $334 million per year thereafter. So, despite falling revenues, the Saskatchewan government is not planning to adjust its spending. The result is an opera-tional deficit this year and another deficit next year, with bal-anced budgets projected after that. “There isn’t much room left, frankly, for cuts,” said Pre-mier Wall when he announced Saskatchewan would run op-erational deficits this year and next. Saskatchewan’s plan for balance is based entirely on re-covering revenues rather than more efficient spending. This defies history, as governments of every political stripe have slayed deficits by trimming spending. Ralph Klein, Mike Harris and Jean Chretien all cut spending to slay their defi-cits. Most recently, Stephen Harper trimmed spending to slay the deficit he created. Even though everyone else has balanced budgets by trim-ming spending, it might still work to let the budget balance itself with revenue increases, right? Here’s the amazing thing: The Saskatchewan government doesn’t actually need to make cuts; if it simply stops increas-ing spending for a year it would nearly balance its operation-al budget in 2017. Maybe Saskatchewan will succeed in balancing the bud-get while increasing spending. But let’s look at what success will mean. According to the current plan, Saskatchewan will borrow $427 million to cover its operational deficit this year and another $259 million next year. That’s in addition to the $700 million the government is borrowing for infrastructure spending this year. It’s a total of $1.39 billion in new debt. After the operational budget is balanced again, the govern-ment projects surpluses and contingencies totalling $308 mil-lion by 2019-20. That means even if oil prices rise and the gov-ernment’s plan works, Saskatchewan is still likely to come out with more than a billion dollars in new debt. The situation is simple. We have less money. We need to spend less money. Otherwise, we’re sending the bill to our kids and grandkids.

Students get up close with health care professionalsBy HILARY [email protected] Inserting a tube into a tra-cheostomy was just one of many hands-on activities students could try at a re-cent event to explore careers in health care. Randi Haas took it all in stride. The Martensville stu-dent is thinking about be-coming a doctor. She and 180 other stu-dents from the public and Catholic school systems in Saskatoon, as well as the Prairie Spirit School Divi-sion, participated in Health Link on March 9. Health Link is the re-sult of a partnership be-tween the Saskatoon Health Region (SHR) and the Saskatoon Industry-Edu-cation Council. The day brought students, profes-sionals and educational in-stitutions together at City Park School to help students figure out life after high school. It’s a hands-on in-teractive opportunity to ex-plore health care profes-sions. “The intent for the day is to help students make in-formed decisions for post secondary education,” said Alysha Robb, workforce planning consultant for the SHR. Throughout the day, stu-dents had the opportunity to speak with physicians, stu-dents and residents involved with medicine and then par-ticipate in breakout sessions

for nursing and therapy. These covered all levels of nursing – Continuing Care Assistants, Licensed Practi-cal Nurse, Registered Nurse and various therapies. Haas is in Grade 11 and has previously attended a similar event that dealt with vaccines and infectious dis-eases. Her interest in the field of medicine, particu-larly oncology, comes from some painful personal expe-rience. “I had a lot of family mem-bers diagnosed with can-cer and family friends, so oncology is just there. And my grandfather was a doc-tor and I’ve always really looked up to him. It’s some-thing I’m really drawn to,” said Haas. While the day focused on nursing a lot, she said it’s really interesting because it

gets you close to the medical field. Meagan Kielo from Delisle Composite High appreciat-ed the opportunity to learn about various types of thera-peutic interventions.“It’s showing us all the dif-ferent types of therapy like Occupational Therapy, Phys-ical Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, Speech Language Pathology and Recreational Therapy,” said Kielo. She appreciated Power-Point presentations, which described the steps for get-ting into a certain program and what it would be like. Kielo was also looking for-ward to afternoon sessions in diagnostics, with lab and imaging occupations like lab technician, lab assistant, cytotechnologist, as well as radiation therapist and x-ray technician, as well as

more hands-on participa-tion. Kielo is definitely interest-ed in some of these health care fields, and an event like Health Link can help clar-ify a future direction. “I’m not set yet,” she said, and as a Grade 10 student, she’s got time to explore and become informed. The day also offered a glimpse of mental health professions in Addictions, Social Work, Psychiatry and Psychology. Health Care professions also offer behind the scenes work related to human resources, health records, business, and ma-chine assistance, which will appeal to some students. Students had a chance to ask their questions, learn whether a certificate or de-gree program is the way they want to go, find out where they could work, what it would be like to work in a given profession on a day to day basis, and what kind of compensation and job satisfaction they might anticipate. The SHR gets many re-quests for job shadowing and work education place-ments, and are not able to accommodate all of them, Robb said. A day like Health Link, with 16 education-al institutions represented, close to 50 presenters and a mini-career fair at lunch, can help bridge the infor-mation and experiential gap.

Hockeyville paying dividends for MartensvilleBy TERRY [email protected] Even as the final hours for voting in the Kraft Hockeyville contest tick-ing down, Martensville’s supporters were stepping up their efforts to have the community make it to the final round. Martensville was an-nounced as one of the top ten finalists in the na-tion-wide contest on Hock-ey Night in Canada in ear-ly March. Voting began on the weekend and wrapped up at 10:00 p.m. on Monday, March 14. The top two contenders in the contest, based on the number of votes, will be an-nounced this weekend on Hockey Night in Canada. The community that wins the contest will receive $100,000 in arena upgrades and have the opportunity to host an NHL game. Jesse Reis, one of the or-ganizers of the Martensville Community Recreation Committee (MCRC), is opti-mistic they can generate a lot of support across the re-gion and the province. “It’s been something that everyone has really ral-lied around,” said Reis. “It’s kind of exploded on Twitter and Facebook; and the mi-nor hockey community has really gotten behind it as well.” Reis said it’s gratifying that people in the region are supporting the cam-paign.

“It’s not limited to Mar-tensville, by any means,” he said. “We’re the only com-munity in Saskatchewan to make the cut, so that helps us. But more importantly, I think everyone in this re-gion knows how important it is to have recreational fa-cilities. A second ice sur-face is badly needed in Mar-tensville because it serves a lot of people in the sur-rounding area as well as the city itself.”

Reis said minor hockey registrations in Martens-ville are “through the roof” and projections indicate the enrolment of kids in the program will continue to in-crease. “We have about 50 first year initiation kids this year,” said Reis. “Last year there were about 25 young-sters, so it’s doubled in a single year. We’re proba-bly looking at a similar in-crease next year.”

But even if Martensville fails to crack the final two spots in the contest, Reis said being in the top ten has already paid off. “I didn’t realize at first that making the top ten means the community re-ceives $25,000 toward are-na upgrades,” said Reis. “That’s a huge boost for our campaign. We would have had to put in a major fundraising effort to gener-ate that much money.”

BIGGAR-SASK VALLEY

The Liberal candidate for Biggar-Sask Valley is Faiza Kanwal. The candidate did not respond to a written request for a photo or personal submission. The Liberal Party has a five-point plat-form (saskliberals.ca) which includes: *Building a strong and diversified econo-my through investments in infrastructure to get goods and resources to market; in-creased immigration; reinstating the film tax credit; and creating a “sovereign wealth fund” using non-renewable resource reve-nues once the public debt is eliminated. *Supporting sustainable communities by increasing personal tax exemptions, green energy entrepreneurship, and offering a tax incentive for individual solar and wind gen-eration facilities. *opposition to private MRI clinics; roll-back the lean system; support palliative care services, reduce emergency wait times and expand home care services. *stabilize provincial funding for K-12 and post-secondary education. *limit political party contributions to $3,000 per year for individuals, corporations and unions, reduce the number of MLAs in the Legislature from 61 to 48, and review government procurement procedures to en-sure they are in taxpayers’ interests.

My name is Ryan Lamarche. I am 36 years old and have been involved in politics since I was 16 years old. I have two children and have been living in this riding for eight years. I have been in this riding all of my life for I have family here and I know I can help this area once elected to grow and do better then it is already. The Green party does not believe in the Left vs Right but what is best for the indi-vidual. This I feel is a new approach to do business in politics and one that is need-ed badly. Secondly, The Green party has a huge compassioniate side to it to help the poorer people in the riding and the dis-abled at the same time as not punishing the wealthy for they realize we need both el-ements and instead of fighting each oth-er they want a united approach for the bet-ter of the individual no matter what social class they are from. Another big area that I support is the Sask Greens support the “firewall” ap-proach to get what is rightfully our back from the constitution and for Saskatchewan to be self-sustained. We need the jobs here for the people of Saskatchewan and to devel-op the resources here in Saskatchewan and to produce all good from the raw resourc-es to refining them here in Saskatchewan to sell to others and to keep or lower the cost to us here in Saskatchewan.

’m running to be your NDP MLA in Big-gar-Sask. Valley because I will stand up for things that matter to families. One of my passions is working with young people. In 2001, I moved to Rosthern and was dean of students at Rosthern Junior College for four years. In 2009, I received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Studies from the University of Saskatchewan and cur-rently work in the housing sector. I am concerned about the state of healthcare in our province. Wait times for surgeries have grown, our hospitals are short-staffed and people are spending hours waiting in the emergency room. The NDP will work to reduce ER, specialist and MRI wait times. Imagine only waiting 15-30 minutes in the ER- by hiring more front-line workers and nurse practitioners to fast track patients in our hospitals- it is possi-ble! The NDP will stop the cuts the Sask. Par-ty has made to healthcare and education, and invest in the public services we all count on, so that healthcare services are there when people need it, and our kids have the quality, top-notch education they deserve. I share Cam Broten’s vision of making the lives of students, seniors, and families ben-efitting more from all that Saskatchewan has to offer, and as your MLA I will work to stand up for the things that matter to you and your family.

I am very honoured to be the Saskatche-wan Party candidate for the new Constitu-ency of Biggar-Sask Valley. Over the past year I have had the pleasure of getting to know the new constituents by attending events and holding coffee parties in various communities. I was first elected in 1999 and re-elected in 2003, 2007, and 2011. During this time in op-position I served as critic for Environment, Labour, and Highways and Transportation while serving as deputy critic for Immigra-tion and Information Services Corporation. I also served on various committees and was Deputy House Leader. After the Saskatchewan Party formed government in November of 2007, I was ap-pointed as Government Whip. In May of 2012 Premier Brad Wall pointed me as Min-ister of Rural and Remote Health. I current-ly serve as Government Caucus Chair. The Saskatchewan Party Government, since 2011, has made substantial contribu-tions to the people and infrastructure of Biggar-Sask Valley Constituency, as well as the province. Some of the highlights in Education in-clude a 30 per cent increase in operat-ing funding for Prairie Spirit School Divi-sion and a 22 per cent increase in operating funding for Sunwest School Division. There has been many major repairs done on schools including; Asquith, Borden, Hague, Cando, Hepburn and Dalmeny. Some highlights in Health include a 43 per cent increase to Heartland and a 60 per cent increase to Saskatoon Health Regions funding. I am especially proud of Biggar’s new Long Term Care Facility! All this does not happen without strong leadership, on Election Day I humbly ask for your support!

Every year, a US activist group publishes its “dirty dozen” list of produce that the organization claims contain high levels of pesti-cide residues. This list has been thoroughly debunked, so everyone in Canada can continue to enjoy the ben-efits of safe fruits and veg-etables, whether they are grown conventionally or or-ganically. Here are some facts to back this up from CropLife Canada:

Developed and grown in western Canada, the seeds of bright yellow canola crops are crushed to pro-duce healthy oil for cooking and baking. The vast majority of our farmers choose to grow canola that has been mod-ified to be resistant to her-bicides. This allows farm-ers to treat their crops with herbicides to control weeds without harming the plant. “Weed control is essential in canola production,” says Alberta farmer, Jay Schultz. “Because if weeds take over they can take up a lot of yield by robbing canola of nutrients, space and sun-light.” Biotechnology has played a major role in Canada’s ro-bust canola industry. Ac-cording to a report from CropLife Canada, cano-la yields have increased by 20 percentage points be-tween 2000 and 2009, largely

Why Canadian farmers grow genetically modified canola

thanks to plant biotechnolo-gy. Schultz says he uses two types of genetically modi-fied herbicide-tolerant cano-la to maximize his yields

and protect his land from weeds. The two different types of canola are resistant to different kinds of herbi-cides, which allows him to alternate the weed control

Where there has been ag-riculture, there have been pests. Where there have been pests, there has been pest control. The science is a fascinating one, enthusiasts explain. Some of the earliest meth-ods of crop protection were oil, ash and sulfur, used by Greeks and Romans to con-trol insects. Herbs and to-bacco were popular with farmers in the 1600s, while sulfur and copper were used to protect fruits and vegeta-bles in the 1800s. In more modern times, farmers progressed to more advanced, man-made meth-ods of protecting their plants. Agricultural tech-nology has grown in leaps and bounds since the 1930s, when synthetic pesticides hit the market. “Farmers today have ac-cess to some of the safest, most effective pesticides ever developed,” says Pierre Petelle, vice-president of chemistry at CropLife Cana-da. “These tools allow them to protect their crops and produce higher yields than we’ve ever seen before.”

How 5,000 years of crop protection has fed the world

Weed control was revolu-tionized by the introduction of selective herbicides in the 1940s and 50s and that al-lowed a crop to get the up-per hand and achieve signif-icantly higher yields. Seed treatments are anoth-er innovation that resulted in a very targeted applica-tion of small amounts of pes-ticide. These products create a protective barrier around a seed to provide protection against insect and disease damage before it happens. “This gives the seeds a

chance to get rooted and established in the soil for the best chance at surviv-al and growth into a strong, healthy plant,” Petelle ex-plains. “This technology has been incredibly advan-tageous for farmers and the environment.” Another tool in the fight against insects, weeds and diseases is plant biotechnol-ogy. About two decades ago, farmers started to grow bio-tech crops, which were im-proved to resist insects and withstand herbicide treat-

products he uses and this prevents the weeds from be-coming resistant to any one herbicide. “Having access to differ-ent types of herbicide toler-ant canola is important be-cause it allows us to rotate the herbicides we use and stay ahead of resistance,” Schultz points out. Herbicide tolerant canola helps farmers grow more on existing farmland and offers important benefits for the environment. Since farm-ers can control weeds with a herbicide, it means they don’t have to till the fields with a tractor to remove them. The less that farmers have to disturb the soil with mechanical equipment, the better, says Schultz. By reducing tillage, farm-ers dramatically improve the health of their soil – in-creasing organic matter, re-ducing erosion and increas-ing moisture retention.

Since adopting herbicide tolerant canola, 86 percent of producers say they have reduced soil erosion, accord-ing to the Canola Council of Canada. Genetically modified crops, including herbicide tolerant canola, help Cana-dian farmers produce one

of the safest and most abun-dant food supplies in the world – and do it in a sus-tainable way. This technol-ogy has helped to make an international success of our country’s canola industry, which is now at almost $20 billion a year in revenue.

This year, for Canadian Agricultural Safety Week, the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association is work-ing towards “Keeping Kids Safe” as a part of the three year theme of “Be An Ag-Safe Family”. A part of keep-ing kids safe on the farm is creating, using and main-taining a safe play area. Play teaches children co-operation. Play helps chil-dren improve their balance and coordination,strengthen their muscles, develop eye-hand coordina-tion and enhance their fine motor skills. Play also challenges kids’ imaginations, play makes them think and makes their minds bend and stretch and grow. Play teaches children how to problem-solve and how to be part of a team. And play lets kids be kids. By having a safe play area, children can experience the joys of play and reduce the risk of injury on the farm. Location matters. The old saying location, location, lo-cation applies to creating a safe play area. A safe play area should be designated by physical bar-riers such as fences, gates or shrubs. It’s important that the play area is away from the majority of farm activi-ty. Keep in mind traffic, live-stock, farm machinery, open water and noise when de-ciding where the play area should be located. Make

Create play areas that keep kids safesure the location is free of hazardous plants like poison ivy and pests like wasps. Ensure that there is suffi-cient shade and is free of ob-stacles like power lines or unstable structures. Also, make sure the location of the play area is within sight and hearing distance of a re-sponsible adult. When selecting a location for the safe play area make sure to keep in mind how much space the children us-ing it will need. A small area appropriate for a three year old, won’t be as use-ful for a faster and bigger 10 year old. Equipment matters too. A big factor in creating a safe play area is having safe equipment that kids want to use. It’s not going to help anyone if a play area has been created and the kids don’t use it! Playground equipment, a clubhouse, balls, balance beams, and swings are all great ideas to include in your safe play area. Make sure that they are hazard free and secure. (Protrusions like bolts can be hazardous while play-ing.) It’s essential that all play equipment be well-maintained and safe. Maintaining and im-proving the play area is an on-going task. Devel-op a routine inspection and maintenance plan that in-cludes keeping the grass mowed, checking equipment

for loose or broken parts, adding protective ground surfacing and reviewing safety rules. Make improve-ments as needed and modifi-cations as children outgrow the existing play equipment. There are no guarantees that any play area is tru-ly safe. Children can some-times be unpredictable, and they don’t always make the safest choices. What we can do is create, use and main-tain a safe play area. Com-bined with careful, compe-tent supervision, a safe play area can help reduce the risk to children on the farm. According to the Nation-al Children’s Center for Ru-ral and Agricultural Health and Safety, there are six steps in developing a safe play area. Here they are for quick reference: 1. Locate a site to be devel-oped into a safe play area. The location should provide maximum play options with minimum exposure to agri-cultural hazards. 2. Sketch out the ideal play area for that site, consider-ing ways to promote fanta-sy, manipulative, swinging, climbing and riding activi-ties. Plan for modifications in play activities as children grow. 3. Determine materials needed. Make, buy or adapt for different play activities. Refer to playground equip-ment websites or other re-sources for specific guid-ance related to residential play areas. 4. Build the play area in-cluding appropriate ground surfacing, borders, fenc-es and gates. Older children can assist with this process if they are supervised. 5. Use the play area. Ex-plain safety rules and post signs if needed. Think about immediate modifications and future changes based on how the area gets used. 6. Maintain and improve

the safe play area. Devel-op a routine maintenance plan that includes keep-ing grass mowed, checking equipment for loose or bro-ken parts, and reviewing

safety rules for visitors. Let older children help with in-spection and maintenance because this enhances their ownership and reinforc-es the importance of telling

adults about possible haz-ards. Make improvements as needed and modifications as children grow.

A contract is an essential business tool. Rental con-tracts, supply management agreements and production contracts are some types of formal agreements that a farmer might sign in the daily running of the farm. Even when employing a farm worker, an agreement is set up. Rate of pay, bene-fits, hours of work and ex-pectations are all detailed in writing to protect both the employer and the em-ployee. It’s always a good idea for two parties to get an agreement in writing, andthat holds true with parents and kids too. Farm kids are lucky to grow up on a farm. They learn the value of hard work and gain respect and love for the land. Of course, along with all of the posi-tives of growing up on the farm, farm kids are also ex-posed to hazards and risks that can put their safety and health in jeopardy. So, instead of yelling or lectur-ing farm kids about safe-ty, why not work together to write down the safety rules for your farm? A farm safety contract has all sorts of benefits. Not only does it instill the im-portance of safety, but it gives the child a sense of control over rules that af-fect them directly. Kids, just like adults, need reasons for rules. A lecture or a “be-cause I said so” might make sense to a parent, but might not make much sense to a kid. Taking the time to ex-plain why some areas on

Sign a kid and parent farm safety contract

the farm are off limits or why there are rules around livestock can help children understand the importance of safety rules. Sometimes it’s not easy to start talking about sticky subjects, however, using a contract can open up prob-lem-solving communication. Listening is just as impor-tant as talking when nego-tiating a contract. Parents may even learn something from their child just by tak-ing the time to discuss and negotiate farm safety rules! A contract is also very meaningful to the parties that sign it. Even to a young person, a contract is impor-tant and serious. Signing a contract with your child shows that you have re-spect for them and the safe-ty rules on your farm. Lastly, a contract teaches kids the importance of com-mitments and obligations. A signature on a contract means they are committed to following the rules. It is a reminder of a promise. This reminder can help them make better choices to pro-tect their safety. For Canadian Agricultur-al Safety Week, the Canadi-an Agricultural Safety As-sociation has developed a Kid and Parent Farm Safety Contract that can be found at agsafetyweek.ca. This contract is customizable to your farming operation. It’s intended to be a way to open up the conversation about hazards and risks on your farm.

By Amy Petherick

Teaching kids to respect hazards is an important part of raising children safe-ly on the farm and much can be learned from close calls. Growing up on the family farm near St. Malo, MB, the Racine children experienced their own close call while playing in a large truck. All five kids had free range of the family’s grain farm and made toys of anything they could find. Monique Racine remembers how their imag-ination knew no bounds and how fearless they were. “When I was a kid, we weren’t afraid to take a hammer and nails, and just put them into a piece of wood,” Monique recalls. “I remember taking a drill and drilling holes in aluminum bowls!” During the harvest season of 1986, everything changed. Monique and her young-er brother, Patrick, took lunch to her father and older brother in the field. As they had done before, she and Patrick were playing in the truck box where the wheat was being unloaded. Patrick remembers waving hello to his brother in the combine as it unloaded into the truck box around him. He hadn’t

yet realized his body was al-ready stuck in the grain. He vividly recalls suddenly struggling to pull his arms out of chest-high wheat and looking over to see Monique was worse off. “The wheat was above Mo-nique’s nose and eyes al-ready, so I got my left arm out to scoop enough wheat

away from her mouth and nose constantly,” he says. “The pressure of the wheat on my chest was so heavy, I was trying to breathe so hard but I couldn’t, so I pan-icked...it was a nightmare.” Outside of the grain box, his father, Emile, had re-turned in another truck to take the next load of wheat

from the field and had ex-pected to see the two young-er kids around. Emile is not sure what it was that made him think they might be in the back of the truck. “I came to the field to see no kids in the truck, and I just panicked,” he explains. “I automatically went to the back of the truck, opened the gate, and they both came out.” Patrick says he can clear-ly remember Emile was “as pale as a white wall” as he knelt down to check them both over. “They were both OK but that was a very close call,” Emile says. “After that, I told them that they had to stay home.” No one was allowed to play on equipment anymore and Monique says none of the kids could see the fun in it after that anyway. The new farm policy became ‘if you can’t count five heads in the yard, you can’t start up or move equipment.’ Emile bought two way radi-os shortly after that so there could be more communica-tion about where the kids were supposed to be and for-tunately, they never had an-other close call after that. Now that the kids are grown and bring the grandchildren to the farm, those safety pol-icies are as important as ever. Patrick says maintaining eye contact is a good poli-cy but he’s learned the value of conducting walk arounds too. He’s moved away from the farm and says it’s a mandatory practice on his construction worksite. Fa-

tal accidents in the past have proven the equipment is simply too big to see ev-eryone from the cab. In his opinion, walk arounds en-sure you really know your surroundings as an opera-tor. “Where I work, you walk around, make sure there’s no one behind you, and no one near the equipment,” he says, “no matter what.” Monique says their fam-ily had to learn their com-mitment to safety the hard way and she’s determined to teach her four year old daughter without anoth-er close call. If constant su-

pervision isn’t a guarantee, Monique says she won’t let her daughter be in a posi-tion where there’s a poten-tial safety risk. “If she’s go-ing to go in the shop where there are chemicals, I know her, and curiosity’s gonna take over.” That’s why Mo-nique strongly believes it’s ultimately up to parents to ensure the safety of their children. If that means in-sisting on hazards being put under lock and key, dedicat-ing a babysitter to constant supervision, or simply de-claring ‘no-go’ zones, then that’s what she believes par-ents should do.

Bees flitting from one new-ly sprouted flower to anoth-er as they collect pollen is one of the more common sights of the spring. Honey-bees are content to buzz be-tween plants for hours. But in recent years the honey-bee population has declined considerably, and scientists and environmentalists con-tinue to study and debate why bees seem to be dying out. Although bees are best known for their honey pro-duction, their symbiotic re-lationship with nature goes much further. Honeybees are instrumental in trans-ferring pollen from plant to plant, which helps to fos-ter new life for many agri-cultural species. In addition to wild flowers and other plants, bees pollinate many of the crops that end up as food on dinner tables across the globe. Bees help polli-nate more than 90 commer-cially grown field crops, cit-rus and other fruit crops, vegetables and nut crops. Without these insects, crop yields would decrease dra-matically, and some foods may cease to exist. Without bees, food production would diminish and the prices of produce would skyrocket. Commercial beekeepers in the United States have reported deaths of tens of thousands of honeybee colo-nies. Ninety percent of wild bee populations in the Unit-ed States have disappeared, according to Target Health, Inc. In the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, bee species have declined con-siderably, and some have even become extinct.

Is this the demise of the honeybee?

Since 2006, millions of honeybees have died off due to a phenomenon called Col-ony Collapse Disorder, or CCD. CCD refers to the ab-sence of adult honeybees in a colony with few or no adults remaining. Work-er bees simply disappear, leaving behind the queen and vulnerable developing young. Bees are not usual-ly known to leave the hive unguarded. While similar disappearances have been documented in the last 100 years, those incidences have grown considerably in re-cent years. Officials in the United States Department of Ag-riculture and the Environ-mental Protection Agency have not been able to deter-mine why the honeybee pop-ulation has undergone such a steep decline, though some believe that a complex com-bination of factors, includ-ing parasites, lack of genet-ic diversity, poor nutrition, and pesticides, could be re-

sponsible. Examination of dead bees has found resi-dues of more than 100 chem-icals, insecticides and pesti-cides, including some used to control parasites, in bee hives. Other factors that come into play involve climate changes that affect wild-flower production. With-out wildflowers, bees have no sources of food. Rainy, wet or overly dry weath-er can wreak havoc on the landscape, resulting in few-er flowers and, as a result, a smaller bee population. Scientists are still study-ing the situation and work-ing toward a solution to restore the honeybee pop-ulation. Individuals can do their part by keeping plenty of blooming flowers in their yards and never killing hon-eybees found on their prop-erty. Disturbing an estab-lished hive can result in the bees abandoning their work, leading to even greater loss-es.

Honeybees pollinate many of the world’s plants. But their numbers are on the decline, and the

environmental impact of that decline is significant.


Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is adding $500 million to its ongoing commitment to a loan program aimed at helping young farmers be-come established in the in-dustry. Launched in March 2012, FCC’s commitment to the Young Farmer Loan has grown to $2 billion over four years, with almost 6,000 loans worth more than $1.3 billion approved, as of Dec. 31, 2015.Shawn and Natalie Paget with son Oliver “FCC is proud to support the next generation of farm-ers through every stage of their career,” FCC Presi-dent and CEO Michael Hof-fort said. “Products like the Young Farmer Loan can make a real difference for producers looking to enter the industry or grow their business.” The Young Farmer Loan provides qualified produc-ers, under age 40, with loans of up to $500,000 to purchase or improve farmland and buildings. The loan includes variable lending rates at prime plus 0.5 per cent, a special fixed rate if produc-ers choose that avenue of re-payment and no loan pro-cessing fees. Shawn Paget, owner of Riverview Farm Corpora-tion, used a Young Farm-er Loan three years ago to acquire more land for his Hartland, New Brunswick-area potato farm. “FCC’s Young Farmer Loan was exactly what we needed to expand our op-

erations in order to grow a wider variety of cash crops, such as soybeans, corn and cereals,” Paget said. “Ac-cess to flexible financing is very important when you are starting out or trying to become more established in the industry. It’s more than a loan – it’s an investment in the future of farming.” Enabling young producers to borrow with no fees at af-fordable interest rates helps them develop a solid credit history and build their busi-ness. “The long-term success of Canadian agriculture relies heavily on our ability to at-tract and retain young, in-novative people to the busi-ness of agriculture,” said Lawrence MacAulay, min-ister of Agriculture and Ag-ri-Food Canada. “By helping the next generation become established in this vital in-dustry, FCC is fulfilling an important part of its man-date and a key commitment of this government.” To find out more about the demographic impact of young farmers on Canadian agriculture, read the latest Ag Economist blog post at www.fcc.ca/AgEconomist. The Young Farmer Loan enhances FCC’s suite of ex-isting products and services that support young produc-ers, such as the FCC Tran-sition Loan, FCC Ag Knowl-edge Exchange events, FCC Publications, FCC on Cam-pus, and FCC Management Software for both account-ing and field management.

In 2014-15, FCC approved more than $2.4 billion in fi-nancing to farmers under age 40, representing more than one-quarter of the $8.6 billion in disbursements last year to help customers ex-pand or start their opera-tions. For more information on the FCC Young Farm-er Loan, visit www.fcc.ca/youngfarmerloan or produc-ers can call the local FCC office at 1-800-387-3232.

Weeds are a nuisance to gardeners and farmers, competing with flowers and crops for sunlight, moisture and nutrients. And then there are noxious weeds like wild parsnip and giant hogweed. While these inva-sive species look like inno-cent flowering weeds, they can cause serious damage to people and pets, so here’s what you should know ac-cording to CropLife Canada. Wild parsnip is a yel-low-flowered invasive spe-cies that grows in ditches, wooded areas, and even on lawns. Giant hogweed is a close relative and is identi-fiable by its size and giant umbrella-shaped clusters of flowers. These weeds can also be found in vacant lots, along stream banks and roadsides. The sap from the leaves and stems of both of these

How to eradicate poisonous weeds

plants is very dangerous to humans. The damage caused by the sap is inten-sified by the sun and can cause severe skin burns, swelling and even blindness if the sap gets in the eyes. Skin burns from the plant often result in sun sensitivi-ty that can last for years. In Ontario, these plant rel-atives are classified as nox-ious weeds. This means they are a threat to human health and agriculture and are difficult to manage. It also means that the prov-ince recognizes the weeds must be destroyed in the in-terest of public health. The safest and most effective way to deal with them is by using herbicides. The weeds spread through their plen-tiful seeds and grow vora-ciously. Simply cutting the plant back will not help, as the seeds can survive for

two to five years, and puts you at risk of exposure to the sap. Experts say herbicide treatments may be the best way to control the plant. Glyphosate is one of the most widely-used herbicides and can very efficiently con-trol this noxious weed. Herbicides are usually ap-plied directly with a small, hand-held sprayer to tar-get the plant and its seeds. Large growths of giant hog-weed can also be managed by directly injecting the stem of the plant with an herbicide. If you see these noxious weeds in your neighbour-hood, take extreme caution to avoid touching them with your bare skin, and follow herbicide label directions. Eradicating them is the best way to keep everyone safe.

Chef Craddock cooks up another awardBy HILARY [email protected] Chef Darren Craddock has become very adept at blending the ingredients of success lately. Last No-vember he won Gold Med-al Plates, which crowns 11 chefs in major cities across Canada, for the second time. That meant he qualified for the Canadian Culinary

Prepared for Kelowna wine pairing competition: Roasted Squash Soup with Armenian-Style Flatbread Cracker Plateau (seasoned with homemade 7-spice mix), on which were mounted many com-ponents to compliment the dish, Cashew Powder, Pickled Shallot & Mushroom, Goats Cheese Mousse and Micro Fennel Seedlings.

Championships in Kelowna in February. It was while he was in Kelowna that he heard he had been named Saskatoon Chef of the Year. “I was nominated by the local chefs of the Canadi-an Culinary Federation (CCFCC) Saskatoon Branch through a two-stage voting process,” said Craddock. “It is an honour to accept this award for the second time;

the first time was in 2012.” The Warman resident is executive chef at the River-side Golf and Country Club, and proud to be a grow-ing part of the legacy of the award. “I think it also shows my commitment to the Saskatoon culinary/food scene, my dedication to the chef’s association and the amount of hard work we put back into the commu-nity through fundraisers or charitable ventures,” he added. Craddock said the Chef of the Year award dates back to 1977 and means a great deal to each chef since it is awarded purely based on nomination from their peers. “It gives some sense of self earned achievement and re-spect, that you’re doing a great job and other profes-sional chefs in the city rec-ognize that,” he said. Craddock didn’t win in Kelowna, but he and his team buckled down for one intense weekend with three competitions in two days – a wine pairing competition, a mystery ingredient box competition and a major dinner competition where he prepared the same dish that won in Saskatchewan. With spring already knocking on our doors, golf season may start early. Craddock is currently gear-ing up for the season at Riv-erside and has already done some hiring. He caters to every day dining, and an-ticipates an eventful sum-mer fitting in weddings, in-house catering and fine

dining dinners. Also coming up for the award-winning chef is the next big Chef’s Association event, the Saskatoon Forest-ry Farm Park & Zoo Gala, where a plethora of delecta-bles will, no doubt, be on of-fer. Those ingredients? How about hard work, dedica-tion, commitment, com-munity involvement and of course, huge talent.

Another large crowd made the 11th annual Ladies Diamond Dinner a success on Satur-day, March 5. Presented by the Warman Community Association, the dinner held at the Brian King Centre featured wine and beer sampling, a purse auction, dozens of door prize draws as well as a silent auction and about a dozen jewelry draws, including a $1,400 di-amond ring. This year’s dinner raised approximately $6,000. The association, which has been involved in the community for over 30 years, uses proceeds from its fundraisers for local projects including construction of the Prairie Oasis Park gazebo, various local sports groups, the Legends Centre, and provides scholarships for graduating students as well as many other worthwhile community ventures.

Royals’ provincialSenior A playoff run ends The Hague Royals’ hopes for a provincial Senior A championship were dashed last week by the Rosetown Redwings. The Redwings won the best-of-three playoff se-ries with a 5-2 decision in Rosetown last weekend. Hague had taken an early

lead in the series with a 5-4 victory in Game One. But Rosetown returned the favour, beating the Roy-als 3-2 in Hague in Game Two. Rosetown now moves on to play Bethune in the pro-vincial championship se-ries.

Hague downs Delisle in Bantam D playoffs The Hague Royals are moving on to the champi-onship round in the pro-vincial Bantam D playoffs. The Royals defeated the Delisle Bruins 6-3 in Game Two of the northern final on Monday, March 14 to win the two-game, total-points series.

Chiefs bounced by Thunder in playoffs The Delisle Chiefs’ hopes for a Prairie Junior Hock-ey League (PJHL) cham-pionship came to an end last week when they were bounced from the north di-vision playoffs by the Tri-Town Thunder. While the Chiefs finished in second place and boasted one of the best regular sea-son records in the PJHL’s north division with 31 wins, eight losses, no ties and one overtime loss; they fell in the first round of playoffs to the third-place Thunder. Delisle jumped out to an early lead in the series by winning the first game 4-3 on February 26 and the sec-ond game 7-1 on February 28. But Tri-Town came back in Game Three to win 3-2 in overtime. The Thunder evened the series with a 1-0 victory in Game Four on March 3. Tri-Town won 4-2 in Game Five on March 5, but the Chiefs won 4-3 in overtime in Game Six on March 7. That set the table for Game Seven in Delisle on Wednesday, March 9, which the Thunder won 3-2 in overtime. The Thunder are current-ly taking on the Saskatoon Quakers in the north divi-sion championship final se-ries beginning this week, while in the south division the Rebels are playing the Capitals.

Warman High School wrestler Natasha Wiebe goes high to get the advantage on her opponent during her opening match at the SHSAA Provincial Wrestling Championship held at Holy Cross High School in Saskatoon on March 11 and 12

Warman High School wrestlers win bronze at provincial competitionBy TERRY [email protected] Three athletes from Warman High School (WHS) each won bronze medals in their respective weight classes at the pro-vincial high school wres-tling championships in Saskatoon last weekend. Natasha Wiebe placed third in the 44 kilogram class for females in the competition, held at Holy Cross High School on Fri-day, March 11 and Satur-day, March 12. Khris Lachance of Warman won a bronze medal in the female 64 ki-logram class. Drake Buechler of Warman earned a bronze for his performance in the 44 kilogram male category. Warman High School fielded a team of eleven athletes for the competi-tion, including Wiebe, La-chance, Buechler, Sana Shah (female 47 kilogram class), Carter Keen-Sot-kinow (male 50 kilogram class), Chase Kirkland-

Bennett (male 53 kilogram class), Easton Smith (male 65 kilogram class), Andrew Nilsen (male 69 kilogram class), Austin Martiniuk (male 73 kilogram class), Thomas Marcella (male 100 kilogram class), and Sam Weinrauch (male 115 kilo-gram class). One athlete on the wres-tling team wasn’t able to compete because of a con-flict with basketball re-gional competitions slat-ed for the same weekend, but overall it was a strong squad, said WHS wrestling coach Jesse Reis. In an interview prior to the competition, Reis said he was confident that at least one of the athletes would make it to the medal podium. “Khris Lachance is a Grade 12 student and a very strong contender,” said Reis. “There are some tough girls in her weight class, but she’s been work-ing really hard.” Reis said he’s happy with the growth of the wrestling

With a 5-4 win over the Humboldt Broncos on Sat-urday, March 12, the Sask Valley Diamond Centre Pharmacy Vipers earned a berth in the provincial fi-nal for the second year in a row. The Vipers will face off against the defending pro-vincial champions York-ton Terriers in a rematch of last year’s provincial fi-nal. For both teams it is their third year in the fi-nal since the inception of the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League in 2010-

11. The Vipers swept Humboldt in two straight games in the northern fi-nal, making this the fourth year in a row they have ended the Broncos’ season. In both games, the Vipers relied on depth to over-come a slow start. In Game Two, the Broncos jumped out to a quick 2-1 lead. In the second period, the Vipers controlled the score-board, getting three goals to give them a 4-2 lead. The third period was a tight-checking affair, and with

Warman Pee Wee A Wildcats advance to provincial final The Warman Pee Wee A Wildcats advanced to the provincial championship fi-nal series after edging the Martensville Marauders in the northern final last week. Both games were very close, with a single goal the margin of victory in each.

Our novice boys won the Regina O’Neill tourna-ment. “We also did really well at regionals.” Reis said Warman will be hosting the provincial wrestling competition next year at the Legends Centre. “It’s nice to medal,” he said. “I was a little sur-prised. We didn’t expect to do as well as we did. This is more of a building year; a year to gain experience; with our focus on next year.” Reis said the wrestling program is growing in the school and in the commu-nity. He noted that WHS alum-ni Micah Heide competed for the University of Sas-katchewan Huskies wres-tling team at the recent CanWest competition.

Fitness tiPs

TrAininG For A MArAThon Part 2Tapering: You are ready to taper your athletic training only after a few months of proper training. It is done to ensure that you are fresh for race day. To maintain fitness during this time, maintain intensity with AT runs and V02max intervals while reducing the running volume. Opting for interval training near the speed that triggers V02max can help you run faster. If you taper for 2 weeks (best for beginner runners), reduce your peak weekly mileage by 30% the first week and 60% the second week. For a 3-week taper, which is best for intermediate and advanced runners who have been running more than 50 miles per week, reduce your peak weekly mileage by 30% the first week, 50% the second week and 65% the third week.

By MACKENZIE [email protected] The host Valley Chris-tian Academy (VCA) Li-ons senior boys basketball team defeated Rosthern Ju-nior College (RJC) 75-60 in their 2A Regional Basket-ball Championship final on March 12. With the win, the Li-ons advance to the SHSAA Hoopla provincial champi-onships. “We’re very excited to go to Moose Jaw next weekend, and represent our school at Hoopla. So it was a good ac-complishment by the boys this year,” Lions coach Brad Wall said. RJC started the game with an edge and led in the first quarter. The teams were evenly-matched and the score was tied several times. But in the final minutes, RJC’s momentum gave them a 19-14 after the first quar-ter. RJC finished the second quarter leading 33-27. The Lions began the third quar-ter with an 11-2 run and the adjustments they made at the half-time break seemed to work. “At half-time, we just met and made a few adjustments in how we were running our offence. We changed a few things up and it seemed to work for us,” Wall said. RJC never really recov-ered from that as they trailed 54-44 going into the final frame. RJC continued to bat-tle, trying to make a come-back. They made a couple of big three pointers to cut the game into single digits, but the Lions continued to shoot well and play good defence. With the win, Wall was impressed with how the Li-ons were able to battle back in the second half, after trailing at halftime. “We never quit, and even when we were down at half-time guys said ‘lets keep a positive attitude and go out and work hard,’ and that’s what they did,” Wall said. The Hoopla tournament begins on Friday, March 18 and Wall expects the team to perform well. “We need to keep work-ing on our shooting obvious-ly, and just try to maintain good health so they can play our best games,” he said.

Bantam Wildcats set for provincial championship roundBy TERRY [email protected] The Warman Bantam A Wildcats earned a berth in the provincial champion-ship series after sweeping the Lumsden-Bethune Lions in the northern final last weekend. The Wildcats spanked the Lions 12-2 on Sunday, March 13 at the Legends Centre in the second of a two-game, to-tal-points series. Warman was in the driver’s seat heading into Game Two, having won the first contest in Lumsden the week before by a score of 10-2. The Wildcats spread the scoring around, with Ryan Conlon (three goals, one as-sist) and Adam Power (two goals, two assists) both reg-istering four point nights. Jaxon Martens and Cole Hardy each tallied twice and singles came from Dylan Ashe, Griffin Mar-tens and Owen Tallmadge. Tyler Vanneste had three assists. Warman goaltender Car-son Hall faced 26 shots, while Lumsden-Bethune goalie Carter Hein saw 37 shots come his way. Warman head coach Mark Campbell said despite the

lopsided score, his team worked hard for their win. “It was a good effort from everybody,” said Campbell. “We have a lot of great skat-ers and they’re in terrific condition. They don’t quit; they work hard every shift for the whole game.” He noted Lumsden-Bet-hune faced an uphill battle in more ways than one. “They had a short bench tonight, and came into the game with an eight-goal def-icit,” he noted. In the end, the Wildcats’ stamina, firepower and solid defense were just too much for the visitors. Warman led 4-1 after the first period and 10-1 after forty minutes. Campbell said Hall is con-sistently reliable in net, as is Matthew Hennessey. “Goaltending is never a concern for us,” he said. “We have two competent, committed guys in net. They usually don’t get over-worked but when they’re called on, they come up with key saves for us.” The Wildcats will face the winner of the Carlyle-Swift Current playoff in the pro-vincial championship series. The Warman team is also working to keep their play-

off hopes alive for the league championship. “We lost our first game in the league playoffs, so that relegated us to the B side of the draw,” said Campbell. “We have the longest road to get back to the champion-ship but the boys are confi-dent we can do it. “It’s a lot of hockey in a short time. We’re just try-ing to stay as focused as pos-sible and as healthy as we can.”

From cute to elegant on iceBy HILARY [email protected] Ranging from tots to teens, members of the Clavet Skating Club showed off their skills in a beautiful-ly choreographed event on Sunday. Skaters fleshed out the theme, “Under the Big Top” as clowns, circus animals, a juggler, magician, fortune teller, elephants, mimes, can-can dancers and more. “It’s an important event for the kids to show their friends and their family and their community the spe-cial things they’ve learned throughout the year,” said club president Crystal Wright. Wright attributes the suc-cessful show in large part to the coaches, who planned the theme “Under the Big Top,” selected suitable mu-sic and choreographed each number. Colourful costum-ing and strategic lighting enhanced the show. “It’s a special night to rec-ognize our coaches. They’re excellent! We’re very proud of what the coaches bring to the club as well,” Wright added. A lot of the skaters, both junior and senior, went to competition this year as a group. Wright said it helped to build a sense of team. “I think this club is really achieving that this year.” This year’s club boasts 48 skaters ranging from age 3 to Grade 12. Two of them be-long to Wright – the jester and the clown ‘that was bug-ging me for treats.’ “That’s a good year. We’d love to have more,” she said. As skat-ers develop, they learn to work towards a goal, grad-ually gaining confidence to

perform in front of a crowd. Wright said their coaches are able to instruct to a high skill level. Wright acknowledged tre-mendous volunteer support, from setting up equipment to running the popcorn ma-chine, parents putting up decorations, organizing raf-fle baskets and more. “I think it’s a beautiful event to show the impor-tance of community and how children’s activity can pull people together.” The Clavet Skating Club celebrated its 25th anni-versary this season. For-mer president Bev Fedo-riuk got emotional as she reflected on how the how has changed and progressed

over the years. “The founding members poured their heart and soul into the development of the club in its infancy,” she said. “Their passion for the sport and desire for growth and success was instilled in future members and club leaders. “The founders would be ex-tremely proud of the club today and its vibrant lead-ership. We have a strong skating family with a lot of appreciation for the club’s roots and a desire for con-tinued success on and off the ice.” A ‘world famous’ straw-berry shortcake was served at intermission, which was a lot like icing on the cake.

Skaters aged 3 to 18 took to the ice in colourful circus-themed costumes for the Clavet Skating Club wrap-up show on March 12. The club boasted

48 members this year and celebrated its 25th anniversary this season.
