Charges by Saskatoon City Police are pending on this matter.

impaired driver On May 1 at 2:05 a.m. po-lice conducted a traffic stop on Highway 14 near Saskatoon. When checking the vehicle they found the 31-year-old male driving the vehicle from Saskatoon had consumed alcohol. He was taken back to the Detach-ment to provide a breath sample. He was released on documents for an upcoming court date in Saskatoon on impaired driving charges.

another impaired On May 1 at 4:30 a.m. po-lice received a complaint of a single vehicle accident on Highway 11 near Warman. Police attended and found that a southbound car lost control on a gravel shoul-der, over corrected, en-tered the ditch and rolled. The 40-year-old male driv-er of the vehicle was found to have consumed alcohol. He was arrested and taken back to the Detachment to provide a breath sample. He was released on documents for an upcoming court date on impaired driving charg-es. There were no injuries.

failure to yield On May 1 at 5:50 p.m. police received a com-plaint of a two-vehicle col-lision on Highway 11 near Wanuskewin Road. Police attended and found that a vehicle driven by a 22-year-old male from Waldheim at-tempted to cross the high-way and failed to yield to southbound traffic. The ve-hicle was stuck by a semi and received extensive dam-age. The male was charged with failing to yield. He was not injured.

driver charged On May 3 at 12:55 p.m. po-lice received a complaint of an erratic driver on High-way 14 near Asquith. The caller reported the vehicle was driving at a high rate of speed and almost caused an accident. Police attend-ed the scene and attempted to stop the vehicle, but the vehicle did not immediate-ly stop. However, the vehi-cle was stopped a short time later by Saskatoon Police and a 25-year-old male from Rosthern was arrested. The male was remanded on sev-eral charges and was to ap-pear in Saskatoon the fol-lowing morning.

vehicle break-in On April 28 at 7:51 a.m. po-lice received a complaint of mischief to a vehicle in Langham. The caller report-ed that someone broke the

Martensville, Warman firefighters tackle grassfire Martensville and Warman fire crews spent several hours fighting a grassfire smouldering in a swampy area between the two cities-earlier this week. The fire was called in about 3:30 p.m. on Monday, May 4 by a landowner who noticed smoke in the area locally-known as “the pits” - a popular bush party spot. Martensville fire crews were the first to respond to the call, and Warman was dispatched a short time lat-er. The fire was fanned by a southeasterly breeze, but fortunately there are no dwellings or buildings in the path of the fire. Howev-

PSSD faces funding crunch

By TERRY [email protected] The Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) Board of Education takes its role as an advocate for students very seriously, according to Larry Pavloff, Chair of the PSSD. Speaking at the PSSD an-nual general meeting (AGM) in Waldheim on Wednes-day, April 29, Pavloff said the board’s advocacy role is more important now than ever before. “The school division is facing significant fund-ing shortfalls,” said Pav-loff. “The shortfall is the difference in the amount of funding from the prov-ince compared to the cost of managing our current levels of programming and servic-es for our students.” Pavloff said the school di-vision is facing a shortfall of about $7 million in oper-ating funds in the coming year. “We take every opportuni-ty to engage the Minister of Education and Ministry of-ficials in discussions about our concerns regarding the education funding distribu-tion model that was intro-duced in 2012,” said Pavloff. “Although the province has provided some additional funds to PSSD in each bud-get since 2012, the funding doesn’t keep pace with the rising cost and the growing enrollments.” Pavloff said the school di-vision has trimmed its ex-penditures as far as it can, and simply can’t cut its spending or draw any more out of its reserve funds. He said the funding distri-bution model shortchang-es PSSD compared to other school divisions.

“We know our operational practices and staff practic-es an expenditures are very similar to, and often below, those of other school divi-sions in the province,” said Pavloff. “We are not asking for special treatment. We are simply asking for equi-ty in the way that funding is allocated.”

budget crunch year Pavloff said in an inter-view following his remarks that the real crunch will come in the coming year, as the school division is forced to make cuts in services, staffing and programming. He said last year the PSSD board and administration cut $2 million from expens-es and also used $3 million from its reserve funds to cover the shortfall and bal-ance its 2014 budget. Those options aren’t available this coming year, he added. “Since 2012, we have changed the way we do things,” said Pavloff. “So far, it has not affected stu-dents. Did it make us more efficient as a school divi-sion? I would say probably, yes. But can we go further? I would say no, because we’ve already done that. We’re at the point now where some things are going to suffer.” Pavloff said the school di-vision has chosen to make its case public in order to prepare parents of students in the division for the hard choices coming in the next few months. “Our schools and our teachers are going to be im-pacted,” said Pavloff. “How that impact is going to hit our schools will be known when we release the budget

School division expects enrollment to increase by 300 students this fall

Firefighter training kicks off emergency preparedness weekBy TERRY [email protected] After battling two ma-jor grassfires for most of the day on Saturday, May 2, Martensville firefighters were back in action on Sun-day morning, May 3. But this time, it was a live burn training exercise for rookie firefighters. An old building that served for many years as a training facility at the Mar-tensville Fire Rescue prop-erty on 9th Street North was torched after being used one last time, said Martensville

Fire Chief Kurt Dyck. “Earlier today, we did some attacks on it, as well as some nozzle work and pump training for the new guys,” said Dyck. “Now we’re giving them some practice on using hoses, but basically we’ll just keep things under control and let it burn.” Dyck said another build-ing at the current training grounds will meet the same fate in June during the new recruits’ certification test-ing. The fire department is relocating to a new training

facility further north out-side the city limits which is closer to Highway 305. While the fire department has done some training ex-ercises at the new facility al-ready this year, it will move its “props”, including old ve-hicles used for extrication training, over the next few weeks. The fire department’s cur-rent training grounds are located next to the city’s public works shop, and the land is needed by the city, said Dyck. Besides, he added, residen-

tial and commercial devel-opment is now right on their doorstep. “The city is getting big-ger very quickly,” said Dyck. “We’re getting pushed fur-ther out. The nice part is that the new training facil-ity is designed for our cur-rent needs.” The controlled burn of-fered spectators a graphic look at how quickly fire can spread in a building once it gets started.

Firefighters get crash course in battling railway haz-mat firesBy TERRY [email protected] Firefighters from sever-al communities surround-ing Saskatoon got hands-on training to deal with rail-way derailments and fires last week. A specially-designed trail-er owned by Canadian Pacif-ic (CP) Railway, one of sev-eral dozen stationed across the country, is currently lo-cated at Number 4 Fire Hall in Saskatoon. The trailer is equipped with a 10,000-gal-lon water tank, pumps, fire hoses, specialized foam and other apparatus intended for use in battling fires result-ing from railway accidents. It can be hooked to a half-ton and taken to the scene of a derailment anywhere in the province. If necessary, it can be airlifted by helicop-ter to remote areas. A training session con-ducted by two hazard-ous materials (haz-mat) specialists from CP Rail was held at the fire hall in Saskatoon on Tuesday, April 28. Abut 30 firefight-ers from Dalmeny, Martens-ville, Warman, Humboldt, Delisle, Biggar and oth-er centres took part in the training course. Represen-tatives from Envirotech, an environmental cleanup com-pany, were also at the ses-sion. Wilbur Hueser, a Fire Ser-vice Instructor with the

Saskatoon Fire Department and a volunteer member of Dalmeny Fire Rescue, was the organizer of the training session. He said the purpose of the one-day course was to familiarize firefighters with the machinery and its con-trols. “The idea was to get all the fire departments that have a railway running through, or near, their com-munities to understand how it is set and how it is operat-ed,” said Hueser. “Local fire departments are generally the first ones to respond to the scene.” Hueser said both CN and CP Rail have had these spe-cially-designed trailers in use for several years. “They pre-date the Lac Megantic tragedy in Que-bec,” said Hueser. “But there are more of them be-ing built and placed in stra-tegic locations in each prov-ince so they can be called into action quickly when needed.” Hueser said there is a growing awareness among communities of the risks as-sociated with increased rail traffic, and local fire depart-ments are becoming better-equipped to respond to se-rious incidents. There is also increased emphasis on Emergency Measures Or-ganization (EMO) disaster planning across Canada. “CP Rail has been very

By JAMES [email protected] The Ministry of High-ways and Infrastructure (MOHI) held an open house to further discuss Highway 7 twinning options at Vans-coy Community Hall on Wednesday, April 29. It was the second public open house in the commu-nity since December, 2014; and the first since the pro-vincial and federal govern-ments’ funding announce-ment in March to twin highway 7 from Saskatoon to Delisle. Option A, which is the same design first proposed to Vanscoy community members in 2007, projects a 5.4 kilometer route north of Vanscoy. This option re-quires a significant amount of land-splitting and is esti-mated to cost $20 million. Option B will be a little most costly at $25 million because it is 6.6 kilometers in lenght. But, it minimizes land-splitting because it fol-lows quarter section lines more effectively. Option B also allows de-velopment on 890 acres, which is 370 acres more than Option A. The MOHI also offered a status quo route option through Vanscoy. Under this option, the bypass will be deferred to a future date, said Harold Retzlaff, an en-gineer with MOHI Systems Planning and Management Branch. “When more triggers come forward, like a cer-tain volume of traffic; or if

safety concerns dictate that the existing alignment is not coping with the com-munity’s concerns; then we would move to either option A or B, depending on what we hear back from the com-munity from the open hous-es,” said Retzlaff. Retzlaff said the tender announcement for the twin-ning project from Saskatoon to the west side of Vanscoy is expected sometime this year. “It could take anywhere from a year and a half to two and a half years of de-sign work before you would see shovels in the ground,” said Retzlaff. He said work on phase 3 of the project could be acceler-ated from west of Vanscoy to the east side of Delisle be-cause the MOHI is further along in the design process. That could happen in 12 months time, said Retzlaff. Local residents expressed a mix of opinions regard-ing the proposed routes. Some suggested business are going to be affected if the route extends north of the village, while others are more concerned with safe-ty because of huge traffic volumes that pass through Vanscoy on a daily basis. Vanscoy resident Karen Dodd has lived in the com-munity for 20 years. She said traffic is just unbear-able. “I have waited 45 minutes to get onto Highway 7 near Prairie Lane road. I’m on the north side of the high-way. When guys are leav-

ing the Agrium mine, it is im-possible. This is just traveling into Vanscoy and I live two miles down the road. Something has to be done,” said Dodd. RM of Vanscoy councilor George Kool said he is happy with all options present-ed, and the soon-er the bypass is built the better it will be for every-one. “A lot of resi-dents just want it built,” said Kool. “At the same time, you can’t avoid landowners who don’t want the highway near them. It is going to affect somebody.” MOHI Interactive and So-cial Media consultant Steve Shaheen said the appetite right now is to move for-ward with the project. “The funding announce-ment was made with the federal government back in March. We have intentions of starting some of the pre-construction work east of here over the summer and determine where this will be,” said Shaheen. Retzlaff said once the province has gathered in-formation from public open house meetings and a route is chosen, they will move into a more detailed design process with local landown-ers and stakeholders.

Vanscoy students will en-joy a variety of new books in their classroom libraries as a result of a generous do-nation from Agrium. Vans-coy School recently received $7500 in funding from Agri-um to support the school’s literacy goals and enhance classroom libraries in the Kindergarten to Grade 8 school. “We are thrilled to re-ceive these funds and we know our students will love the new books that will be added to our classroom li-

braries,” said Darin McK-ay, Vice-Principal of Vans-coy School. The $7500 will be used to enhance class-room libraries and support levelled reading programs to meet the literacy needs of the school’s diverse group of readers. McKay noted that students will provide their input into the books that are selected for the school. Vanscoy School ap-plied for the grant fund-ing through Agrium’s community investment pro-gramming. Agrium offers

funding for non-profit or-ganizations, focusing on the following areas: youth, health and wellness, envi-ronment, civic/arts and cul-ture. Agrium has a potash mine near Delisle and has been a firm supporter of the schools in the community. “Vanscoy School enjoys a beneficial relationship with Agrium,” McKay said. “As a result, our students have had access to programs and learning materials we would not have been able to provide otherwise.”

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

Maybe it is a little easi-er for rural residents to re-member what Saskatche-wan’s Crown Corporations are really about. After all, if your power or heat goes out on the farm or in a small town, you likely feel a bit more isolated than you do in the cities. Somewhat similarly, there are all kinds of communica-tion and entertainment op-tion in cities. Private cell phone suppliers are more than happy to serve urban customers where the ser-vice costs per potential cus-tomers are lower. And cable companies or satellite pro-viders also recognize the benefit of working in urban environments. But when you’re a publicly owned communication util-ity like SaskTel that has to work both in direct compe-tition to those private com-panies and still fulfill your mandate to reach most ev-eryone in Saskatchewan, you might be a little more appreciated in the rural ar-eas. So what’s been the big Crown corporation issue in the cities? Well, one of them is clearly whether or not we should be building more government-owned li-

quor stores or moving to-wards more private retail-ing. Sure, this is an issue in the country, as well, where there are also government-owned liquor stores. Given most rural liquor outlets are private franchis-es in hardware or local gro-cery stores, the issue is less of a big deal. Conversely, city residents often see it as a much bigger deal that we are subsidizing a publicly owned bus com-pany. According to Saskatche-wan Transportation Compa-ny’s 2014 annual report, STCstill lost an additional $418,000 on its operations af-ter receiving a $10.3-million grant from the government. But while urban people may grumble about this pe-rennial loser that lost an-other 5.3-per cent in rider-ship in 2014, they may have missed the fact that this de-cline was largely due to the cancelation of routes by pri-vate bus companies in Man-itoba and Alberta; provinc-

es where rural residents are being left with no services. Clearly, the debate over the Crown corporations takes a somewhat different tone in such rural areas. For example, consider the political debate these past few decades that has large-ly revolved around on how much dividend the Crowns are paying the government and how much money they lost on bad investments. Prior to their 2007 elec-tion win, the Saskatchewan Party feasted on the for-mer NDP government’s bad investment decisions and losses, which admittedly, seemed all too common: Channel Lake ($15 mil-lion); Guyana Electrical Company ($2 million); NST Chicago ($16 million); Perso-na Inc. ($9.4 million); Retx.com (24.7 million); Clicka-bid. com (6.7 million); Soft Tracks Enterprises Ltd. ($5.6 million; Navigata Com-munications ($72 million); Craig Wireless ($10 mil-lion); Coachman Insurance ($17.2 million); AgDealer ($8.9 million); Austar Com-munications; and, of course; Spudco ($36 million). So to the surprise of ab-solutely no one, it is now the NDP Opposition that

Crowns’ value somehow got lost in political debate

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

has taken square aim at the Sask. Party government losses and failures at every available opportunity. The $47-million mess with SaskPower’s Sensus smart meters that occasional-ly caught fire on the sides of city houses has received more political attention than just about any issue in the multi-billion electrical utility. As was the case with the NDP government Crown corporation failings, such issues do deserve scrutiny. It is, after all, our money. But what we shouldn’t lose sight of is the role of the Crowns and the value of the service they provide. According to the Crown Investments Corp. (CIC) 2014 report table late last month; the Crowns provided a $173.6-million dividend to all Saskatchewan taxpayers. This is down from oth-er years as was the 2014 net CIC earnings that slipped to $411 million; well below the $566 million in 2013. Crown debt is also on the rise, which is the source of more political squabbling. But let us hope that in all this squabbling, we don’t forget what the Crowns are really about.

By Aaron WudrickCanadian Taxpayers Federation Federal Director

Between elections, what tools can Canadians use to hold their federal government to account? One important tool is the Access to Information Act. You may not have heard of it, but it’s a vitally important law that lets any Canadian re-quest information about what the government is doing, in-cluding just what our tax dollars are being spent on, and by

whom. And even more importantly, it creates a le-gal responsibility for the government to provide the information. In March, Canada’s Information Commissioner released a special report containing 85 recommen-dations to update the Act. The current law has been in place since 1982 and without major reform since, in spite of the fact that as the Commission-er puts it, “much has changed within government since that time, including how the government is organized, how decisions are made and how infor-mation is generated, collected, stored, managed and shared.” So it only makes sense that this law be adapted for the realities of the 21st century. The first big recommendation is extending the Act; currently, many parts of government are not even covered. Some, like the House of Commons and Senate, are familiar to Canadians. Others, such as the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Af-fairs, are virtually unknown – even though their budget is over $500 million. Other entities that are partly arms-length from the government, such as Canada Health Infoway (which has received more than $2 billion in federal government funding since 2001), are also not covered by the Act. There’s no good reason why these tax-payer-funded bodies are not covered. There’s lit-tle point in a transparency law that doesn’t follow much of the money in the first place. In terms of the type of information re-leased, another important recommendation would require the government to provide data in an

“open, reuseable and accessible format.” The Canadian Tax-payers Federation (CTF) has on many occasions requested information, only to receive boxes of blurry, photocopied doc-uments, which were obviously printed off from a program like Excel. This is a pointless waste of everyone’s time, mon-ey and paper; in 2015, there’s simply no reason most data can’t be supplied electronically. Perhaps most importantly, the Commissioner suggests that when grants or loans are given to third parties – referred to in some circles as “subsidies” or “corporate welfare,” that the recipients not be permitted to withhold information about repayment. Under the current rules, many large cor-porations claim “commercial sensitivity” as a reason not to release details. To take just a single example of dozens, con-sider Mitel Networks of Ottawa, which received $60 million from the government in 2002. To this day, the company has refused to let the government disclose any information about repayment of that loan (if there has been any repayment). This needs to change. In addition, the Commissioner recommends that govern-ment proactively publish information about all grants and loans given by government, including the status of repay-ment and compliance with any terms – rather than forcing Canadians to request the information first. When govern-ments spend money, the default position should be to account for it. Not every recommendation in the Commissioner’s report is a slam-dunk: opening the request system up to people out-side of Canada, for example, seems unnecessary. But on bal-ance, many would be big improvements. It may not be the sexiest political issue during an elec-tion year, but transparent and accountable government is ex-tremely important in any democratic society. With her re-port, the Information Commissioner has drawn attention to some of the defects of our current Access to Information Act. The government would be well advised to take action on many of its recommendations.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLICPursuant to The Municipalities Act, public notice is hereby given that the Resort Village of Shields intends to restructure by adding the following lands from the RM of Dundurn #314 to the Resort Village of Shields.

The land to be added to the Resort Village of Shields is All that portion of New Road shown on Registered Plan No. 69S02467 in the SE 1/4 Sec. 7 – Twp. 33 – Rge. 03 – W3M lying North of a line being the pro-duction Westerly of the South limit of Plan 102035090.

The reason for the proposal is to develop a south access to the Resort Village of Shields.

A Public Meeting will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 10:15 a.m. at the Shields Community Centre to discuss the proposal.

Any persons who wish to object to the proposed restructuring may file a written objection, stating clearly the reason for their opposition, with the administrator of the Resort Village of Shields at the address below:

Box 81, Dundurn, SK S0K 1K0A written notice of objection must be received by the administrator by June 5, 2015.

in June. “How do you take $7 mil-lion out of a budget and not have an impact? There are going to have to be some hard choices made. But our education director, superin-tendents and administrators are working very diligently right now to see where they can cost-effect that $7 mil-lion, but still have the least amount of impact on stu-dents.” Pavloff said the budget should be released by mid to late June. “That’s when the staffing arrangements and programming arrangements are given by school princi-pals to their communities,” he said. “We’re not trying to scare people. We’re simply keeping them informed of the reality of the situation. I believe that’s the responsi-ble thing for us to do.”

review underway Pavloff said the provincial government’s review of the education funding distribu-tion model currently under-way offers some reason for optimism, but it also could be seen as a way of stifling dissent. ‘The timeline for the re-view to be completed is Oc-tober,” said Pavloff. “We’re

hoping if it recommends any changes that those changes can be implemented in next year’s budget. “On the other hand, right now if we have questions over our funding distribu-tion model, the government can say, well, we’ve got a process underway, so they don’t need to answer our questions.”

enrollment increases The school division is ex-pecting an increase of over 300 students in the coming year, noted Pavloff. “That’s not a record,” he noted. “We had 344 new stu-dents enroll in the division in 2013-14, but it’s very close. “The biggest increase in enrollment will be in Mar-tensville and Warman. They’re our fastest-growing communities, and the big-gest increase will be in the lower grades.” Pavloff said while some school divisions in larg-er cities can move students to other schools that have room, it’s more difficult in a school division that has both large urban and small rural schools, to cope with concentrated increases in its major centres. “We’re not about to bus

kindergarten students from Warman or Martensville to Waldheim, for example,” said Pavloff. “That doesn’t make sense. If we have 90 additional kindergarten students in Warman next year, where there is only one elementa-ry school, that’s five class-

rooms. “Where do we find the money to pay for the teach-ers and the resources?” The school division has scheduled meetings with both Education Ministry of-ficials and the review com-mittee studying education funding model.

Funding shortfall likely to impact programs

Continued from page 3

The Saskatchewan govern-ment will provide $500,000 to help fund the construc-tion of a 56 space early learning centre at Whitecap Elementary School. Premier Brad Wall and Education Minister Don Morgan, along with White-cap Chief Darcy Bear made the announcement at a sod-turning ceremony at White-cap on Tuesday, May 5. “Part of the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth is to ensure that Saskatchewan is the best place in Canada to live, work, and raise a family,” Wall said. “This investment will give young families the opportunity to expand their horizons and prepare their children for future success.” The total cost of construc-tion for the project is esti-mated at just more than $2 million. In addition to the funding committed by the province, the Government of Canada will be provid-ing $1 million, BMO Finan-cial Group is contributing $250,000 and $260,000 will come from Whitecap Dakota First Nation.

The province has also committed to annual oper-ating funding for 45 of the 56 spaces when the centre opens. The remaining 11 spaces will continue to be federally funded. Whitecap has created 680 jobs through their Econom-ic Development Plan. This growing workforce, includ-ing employees that reside both on- and off-reserve, has increased demand for child care.

Is your family prepared? Keep a 72-hour emergency kit on handBy RANDY MEGINBIRCity of Warman EMO Coordinator When an emergency sit-uation occurs, it may take emergency workers some time to reach the scene. To best plan for a disas-trous situation, citizens should be prepared to take care of themselves and fam-ily members for a minimum of 72 hours. According to Emergen-cy Measures Organization (EMO) officials, it can take as little as 20 minutes to make an emergency plan for you and your family. By building and using a 72-hour emergency checklist and kit, you can be prepared for a range of emergency sit-uations. Although the consequenc-es of various disasters can be similar, knowing the risks can help families bet-ter prepare. In Saskatchewan, resi-dents face a number of po-tentially harmful situations, such as tornadoes, blizzards, and power outages. In addi-tion to natural, industrial

or transportation accidents, train derailments and spills could cause untold damag-es to the environment in the area. There are some who will say this will never happen, but, with weather patterns able to change in a matter of minutes, it’s time to consid-

er your plan during Emer-gency Preparedness Week, which runs May 3-9, 2015. A good start, according to EMO officials, is to get a copy of the “72 Hour Pre-paredness” booklet. These are available at the Warman Fire Hall, Warman City Hall, or by downloading a copy online at www.getpre-pared.ca, or call 1-800-622-6232 (1-800-O-CANADA) for a household emergen-cy contact sheet that clings to any smooth surface. For more information regarding emergency preparation, call Saskatchewan Emergency Management at 306-787-9563. Each community has its own EMO, and for Warman, I am the EMO coordinator, and Chad Makulowich is the Assistant EMO Coordi-nator. It is better to be educated, prepared with supplies and have a plan established for your family’s safety. Even though emergency servic-es may be accessible sooner, you must be prepared to be self-sufficient for 72 hours.

By TRACY WILSON-GERWINGCity of Martensville EMO Coordinator Emergency Prepared-ness Week, which runs from May 3-9, 2015, is a nation-al awareness initiative that has taken place annually since 1996. It is a collabor-ative event undertaken by provincial and territorial emergency management or-ganizations in concert with Public Safety Canada. The City of Martensville’s Emergency Measures Or-ganization (EMO) has two main responsibilities. The first is to ensure that the City is prepared and can re-spond promptly and effec-tively to any hazards, di-sasters or emergencies that may occur. The second is to encourage members of the community to be prepared for such events. Represented by the EMO Coordinator, the EMO is continuously working to fulfill the five aims of emergency management – prevention, mitigation, pre-paredness, response and re-covery. This means that the EMO will have emergen-cy plans in place before an emergency happens, prac-tise the plans and educate the community. The first step to being prepared is knowing what types of emergencies are possible. In Martensville, we need to be prepared for

both natural and man-made emergencies such as floods, severe storms, tornadoes, wildfires, and dangerous good releases. The second step is to make an emergency plan. By tak-ing a few minutes to plan ahead, the impact of an emergency can be lessened – especially for children. Val-ley Manor, Venture Heights and Martensville High School all have emergency plans. It is equally impor-tant for businesses in Mar-tensville to have emergency plans. The third step is to have an emergency kit with enough supplies to last for 72 hours while emergen-

Emergency Preparedness Week provides opportunity to plan for the unexpected

cy workers aid those in ur-gent need of help. Emergen-cy kits can be bought or put together with items you have around your home but should include enough sup-plies to be self-sufficient without power or tap water. Finally, when communi-

We’ve all noticed how se-vere storms and chang-ing weather patterns have made tornadoes a reality in our area. The destruction of houses and schools takes a matter of minutes, yet the results have long-last-ing effects on a communi-ty. Some things to consider are: Where would children go to school if such a disas-ter struck? What do I take if we’re ordered to evacuate? While the local EMO has most emergency con-cerns covered for the City of Warman, in the event of a pandemic outbreak, we will adopt the recommendations of Saskatoon. They have a pandemic alert plan in ef-fect if such a disaster did reach this area. This is not meant to panic anyone, but it’s meant to educate and re-form people’s thinking. With some simple planning, fam-ilies can cope with a situa-tion knowing that a plan is in place. Information is available in the “72 Hour Preparedness” guide and on the www.get-

prepared.ca website to help you build a personal emer-gency plan, communications plan, establishing a meet-ing place, and items for an emergency supply kit. Many of the “what if” questions regarding power outages, storms, floods and other severe weather events

are addressed online in an easy-to-understand format. If a disaster should strike a community it takes many people and organizations working together to return the community to a normal status. Remember, failing to plan is a plan for failure.

cating during and after an emergency, try to use text messages, emails and social media. They may work even when phone service doesn’t. For help putting together your emergency plan or kit, contact the EMO Coordina-tor ([email protected]).

Remenda, a 13-year vet-eran with Martensville Fire Rescue, explained to the kids how they can protect themselves in the event of a fire. The children learned not to play with matches or lighters, to understand what smoke alarms are for, and how to “stop, drop and roll” to extinguish flames. Like their colleagues in other communities, Martensville Fire Rescue personnel are volunteer firefight-ers and First Responders who are trained to professional standards. They spend countless hours training and respond on a daily basis to numerous medical, fire and motor vehicle colli-sion calls. So far this year, there have been three house fires in Martensville.

Valley manor school pumps up donations for heart foundationBy terry [email protected] Valley Manor Elementa-ry School in Martensville is skipping right along in its campaign to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foun-dation (HSF). The school is participating in the HSF Jump Rope for Heart campaign, which en-courages students to get ac-tive by skipping rope while they collect pledges for heart disease and stroke re-search. The fundraising campaign began April 16 and con-cludes May 8. So far, Valley Manor leads all schools in Saskatchewan in donations, with a total of $12,807 pledged as of Friday, May 1. That’s well above the $7,026 pledged by the second-highest school in the prov-ince. Valley Manor is also in the list of top ten schools na-tion-wide. A school in On-tario, Mattawa District Pub-lic School, leads the pack with $28,925 in donations, followed by eight schools in Alberta that range between $25,928 and $13,823. The pace of fundraising at Valley Manor is pretty amazing, considering the school’s initial goal was to raise just $3500, according to Valley Manor Vice-Princi-

pal Michael Cox. “We received some infor-mation on the Jump Rope for Heart program from the Heart and Stroke Founda-tion, and it seemed to fit in well with our school theme of Healthy Bodies, Healthy, Minds, Healthy School, Healthy Community and Healthy World,” said Cox in an interview on Thurs-day, April 30. “There hadn’t been any participation in the program for about 10 or 15 years, so we thought we would try it, even though we had just completed anoth-er fundraising campaign for our school community coun-cil. We were a little leery about running to fundrais-ers back to back. We didn’t know what kind of support the campaign would gener-ate.” The school’s initial goal was to get 100 per cent par-ticipation from all students in Kindergarten to Grade 8. “We set the bar really low,” said Cox. “We aimed to raise $5 minimum per stu-dent. That would bring in over $3500. Each student re-ceived a pledge envelope, and pledges were also col-lected online.” A representative of the HSF came to the school on April 16 to outline the pro-gram, and the kids literally

jumped at the opportunity. “The response from the community has been over-whelming. We have received over $12,000 in pledges so far,” said Cox. “We won’t know what the final tally is until after May 8, but we certainly didn’t anticipate this kind of enthusiasm. It’s very rewarding.” The school has set aside Thursday, May 14 and Fri-day, May 15 as the days when the jump rope activ-ities will take place at the school. “Each class will have an hour during one of the two days, and there will be a va-riety of different stations in the gym and outside where they can do their skipping,” said Cox. He noted that skipping isn’t as popular as it once was in schools, but this cam-paign is sparking a bit of a comeback for the activity at the school. “A lot of the boys were re-luctant to try it at first, but we showed them videos of professional boxers and oth-er male athletes that use skipping ropes as part of their training, and now that stigma is pretty much gone,” said Cox. “All the kids are doing as much skip-ping as they can to get ready for the big event.”

A touch of Ukraine was enjoyed by all as Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance held their 2015 recital pro-gram at the WCMS Theatre on Thursday, April 30 and Friday, May 1. Parents, grandparents and friends who attended were treated to the beauty and precision of Ukrainian dance as club members dis-played their talents before a very appreciative audience. Performances included so-los, duets, trios and groups from beginner to advanced representing dance styles and costumes from different regions of the Ukraine. Master of Ceremonies, Brenda Stokalko, shared a history of the club and thanked past and present volunteers for their com-mitment to make it possible that Ukrainian culture can be shared and enjoyed by all.

Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance creates excitement with 2015 recital

ing. She talked about how Warman has been very wel-coming as the organization was forced to relocate due to lack of space in Saskatoon after the building they had been in for 20 years was torn down. The program included special performances by guest artists, Pavlychenko Folklorique Ensemble. Serhij Koroliuk, artis-tic director of Pavlychen-ko Folklorique Ensemble talked about the connec-tion between the school and the dance company. He ex-plained, “We want to give encouragement and support to this club, with the hope for the youngsters to gain inspiration.” “It also gives an opportu-nity for the kids to advance, and give them a goal to work towards.” Pavlychenko is a world-re-nowned group, and Koroli-uk said one of the benefits of joining the group is the ex-perience of travelling the world when touring. The three instructors at

Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance; Sonya, Christina and Justin also shared that ex-perience as members of Pav-lychenko. For many of the young-er members of the school this was their first chance to see Pavlychenko up close and their eyes were as big as saucers as the group performed with precicion, rhythm and incredible moves. A common reaction was “ I want to do that”. The excitement and en-ergy they brought definite-ly gave kids something to aspire to and left the audi-ence with an unforgettable experience. This was espe-cially true when Pavlychen-ko ended the evening with their Holubka dance. Master of Ceremonies, Brenda Sto-kalko was not exaggerating when she said don’t blink or you will miss something. Ukrainian dance has found a home in Warman and Sonia’s School of Ukrai-nian Dance looks toward the future with excitement and optimism.

By JAMES [email protected] Delisle curler Sherry An-derson received the distinct honour of being inducted into the CurlSask Legends of Curling Honour Roll at a ceremony on Saturday, April 25. The honor roll recognizes curlers who have made sig-nificant contributions to the sport. CurlSask honoured An-derson’s 1994, 1995, 2002 and 2004 teams that all won Women’s Championship ti-tles. In 2001 Anderson’s team of Sandra Mulroney, Kim Hodson and Donna

Gignac qualified to curl at the Olympic Trials held in Regina. During those years An-derson made eight Scott Tournament of Hearts ap-pearances. She lost in the semi-final in 1994 and in 2002 she skipped a team with Hodson, Mulroney and Gigac, who lost in the final to Colleen Jones. In 2004 Anderson finished 7-4 at the Scott Tourna-ment of Hearts and was hon-oured with the Marj Mitch-ell Sportsmanship Award. Anderson also won sever-al grand slam titles over her career.

Originally from Christo-pher Lake, Anderson start-ed curling when she was only eight years old and played with her sisters, Jac-quie, Avis and Susan out of the Lake Curling Club. Donna Gignac joined An-derson’s team soon after Su-san moved to Saskatoon. The team went on to win its first women’s provincial ti-tle in 1994. A year later both Avis and Jacquie left the team and were replaced by Elaine Mc-Coy and Kay Montgomery, who helped Anderson win a women’s curling provincial title in 1995. Anderson said it is an

honour to be rec-ognized for her achievements in sport. “It was nice in 1994 be-cause there hadn’t been a women’s curling represen-tative out of the province for quite a few years. I think the last time previous was in the 70s,” said An-derson. “In 2002 and 2004 we had a different team made up of two or three teams from the Saskatoon area. We had sev-eral years where we did very well

in the cash belt circuit.” Jerry Shoemaker, Chair-person for the Legends of Curling Honour Roll Com-mittee, said curling fans re-member Anderson’s teams from watching the Scot-ties Tournament of Hearts on TV. He said Anderson’s curling teams always enter-tained and Saskatchewan residents cheered for them. Shoemaker said part of the recognition is not only to honour a curler’s achieve-ments, but also to inspire a younger generation of curl-

Warman Gems gear up for new fastball seasonBy TERRY [email protected] The Warman Gems kick off their 2015 fastball season this week with a revamped roster and an optimistic out-look. The Gems are one of eight teams in the Ken Gunn Di-vision of the Saskatoon Am-ateur Softball Association (SASA). They were slated to play their first game on Tuesday, May 5, and their

second game on Thurs-day, May 7, both at Bob Van Impe Stadium in Saskatoon. While the core of the ros-ter remains intact, there has been some turnover, said Gems player-manager Mike Stefanuk in an e-mail to the Gazette. He said some play-ers have retired or moved on to other teams, while oth-

ers. During the opening cer-emonies a younger female curler, also from Delisle, Payton Worth, grand daugh-ter of curling legend Harold Worth, was honoured. Pay-ton Worth was part of the Hanna - Anderson Juvenile Women’s Provincial win-ning team this year. Each year all provincial winning teams are invit-ed to attend the Parade of Champions, which starts off the evening. Any teams present are acknowledged by parading them all in pri-or to the dinner. Anderson’s induction makes it six Delisle curlers, including Jim Hill, Elmer McNiven, Harold Worth, Fay Coben-Gardner and July Leonard, who are all members of the Legends of Curling Honour Roll. Adding another Delisle resident to the honour roll doesn’t surprise Shoemaker. “That town has always had great curlers and there are curlers that I admired when I was young and got to play against,” said Shoe-maker. Now that she has the leg-end distinction, Anderson said she has no plans of re-tiring. “I think as an athlete you always want to do better. I’ve had a decent career. I have enjoyed it along the way, but I could have done more,” said Anderson. “I got close to but never achieved. I can’t say my career has been totally fulfilled. That’s for sure but I am not quit-ting so I want to see how things go in the next couple of years.” Anderson said she is go-ing to skip a new team with younger curlers, including lead Brie Spilchen, second Elyse Lafrance and third Jessica Hanson. She said the team has about seven bonspiels lined up including a world curling tour in the fall.

By JAMES [email protected] Computer generated children’s movies have certainly provided a different perspective on how we see the world, and Aberdeen an-imator Sheldon Kruger has been fortunate enough to put his own personal stamp on a few notable computer-generated imagery (CGI) franchises. During the summer months Kruger helps out on his par-ents farm four miles south of Aberdeen. His other full-time job includes work for Saskatoon-based DIG Animation Studios. The stu-dio responsible for CGI advertising commercials for Sasktel. Kruger said growing up he was always drawing characters or ob-jects in motion. Even though the arts was something encouraged in his family, drawing was some-thing he got away from during his teenage years until he attended California State University, Ful-lerton in 2002. “I was doing a graphic design de-gree but it really wasn’t satisfy-ing,” he said. When he found out the universi-ty also offered an animation pro-gram, he jumped at the opportu-nity and in 2006 graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in the discipline. Kruger said many different types of specialists are needed to make one single character in a children’s animated feature come to life. “Once you know the character design and story boards on the

CGI side, a character is sculpt-ed by modelers, first in clay. Then it is handed off to a modeler who will transfer the clay model to a computer. Then texture artists will give the character skin and clothes and make sure the charac-ter moves in a realistic fashion,” said Kruger. “Characters also need a skeleton so after the texture artists are fin-ished with their additions, a char-acter will then be handed off to a rigger (skeleton) who will add a rig do it and give it joints. They will build a bone or joint wherev-er you want the character to bend and controllers on the face.” Controllers are tools animators use to give the character move-ment and facial expression, essen-tially bringing it to life. Shortly after graduation Kruger was having difficulty finding work in the industry until he received advice from an alumnus telling him he should get more education on character-building, so he took an online animation course called animationmentor.com. The people who taught the online course were all professionals working for Dis-ney, Blue Sky and other studios. Kruger made a positive impres-sion on one of the Blue Sky profes-sionals who offered him a job in

New York. That job happened to be “Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dino-saurs” in 2008-09. Kruger worked nine months on the movie, bringing all the main characters to life including the adorable but unlucky acorn chas-ing saber-tooth squirrel, Scrat.

“It was exciting. I did a lot of ac-tion shots with all the charac-ters and made them talk, then the group of animators, including my-self, working on a particular se-quence would sit down with the di-rector and go through it shot by shot,” Kruger. After that opportunity Kruger’s schedule got a little busier. From 2009-2011 Kruger lent his talents to other CGI movies in-cluding “Alvin and the Chip-munks (the Squeakqual)”, Rio, a Sean Penn/Brad Pitt movie called “Tree of Life,” “Hotel Transylva-nia” and “Happy Feet 2.” Constant travel for work com-mitments in Vancouver, Austra-lia, Los Angeles and New York was exciting at first, but the novel-ty quickly wore off over the years. In addition, Kruger and the love of his life, whom he met in New York, both had plans to raise a family. So the pull of returning to the family farm proved to be an at-tractive option. In the fall of 2013 Kruger moved back to Saskatchewan, He found that he could combine farming with his work as an animator in Saskatoon. Kruger has been employed by DIG since that time. He said work-ing for a local company is differ-

ent than being among 30 anima-tors that worked on Ice Age. “It is a process similar to the big studios, but for DIG I get to see more of the process. In a big stu-dio I was in my department of 500 employees. You are locked down and you don’t get the opportunity to see a lot of the areas,” said Kru-ger. “Here we have three animators, a coordinator that is making the commercials, and the owner of the company. We also get to look at each other’s work and help each other. It is different that way and I enjoy being involved.” It was a lucky find for Kruger finding a studio that understands his family obligations, having a young child and his love of farm-ing. “I am lucky to have both sides understanding that animation, my family and farming are a part of my life,” said Kruger. Kruger, who is the son of accom-plished painter Mary Kruger, said his parents always encouraged a love of the arts and always gave him 100 per cent support. Working on big budget anima-tion projects was a great experi-ence, but having a place to call home and a family has its own re-wards, said Kruger.

Clever parody, skilled acting earn awards for Warman Drama ClubBy TERRY [email protected] When the sound system at the Region 11 high school drama festival in Prince Al-bert unexpectedly went on the blink at the last min-ute, the cast and crew of Warman High School’s se-nior drama club production had to do some quick think-ing. Their play, “The Actor Games,” relied heavily on music, lighting and power-point graphics. Without the visual and musical cues, the comedy was in big danger of falling flat. But the show must go on. The actors had only one chance to make a big im-pression on the judges, and they made the most of it. “The kids really stepped up and improvised as they went along,” said Jan Wil-kes, a teacher at WHS who directed the production along with Brett Rowland and Tennille Fishley. “They didn’t miss a beat. In fact, they carried if off so well they got extra points for their ingenuity.” The WHS production won second place at the regional drama festival. Clavet Com-posite School, another Prai-rie Spirit School Division (PSSD) school, captured top marks. They beat out larger high schools based in Saskatoon and Prince Albert to claim the top two spots. Wilkes said she’s happy with the way things turned out. “It would have been nice to win the regional crown and go on to provincials, but one of our lead actors is scheduled for an opera-tion and wouldn’t have been able to go, so we would have

had to forgo the opportunity anyway,” she said. “Clavet’s play was truly outstanding and they deserved to win. We were really impressed with them.” But the WHS play also had its share of accolades. A comedy that parodies various acting styles, from Shakespeare to melodrama, silent film and Hollywood, the Actor Games’ theme of-fers a quirky twist on the popular Hunger Games movies. A game-show format that pits characters portraying different acting styles in head-to-head showdowns of-fered a great opportunity for the kids to ham it up. The broad-strokes juvenile comedy was spiced up with some subtle adult-oriented jokes to appeal to a wide au-dience. Co-Director Brett Row-land said the bare-bones set design was aimed at high-lighting the outlandish cos-tumes, garish screen graph-ics and snappy dialogue. “It’s a play that’s driven by the acting,” said Rowland. Wilkes said many of the members of the WHS senior drama club are new this year, so the second-place fin-ish was a testament to their talent and teamwork. “We’re so proud of our kids,” she said. The play earned sever-al acting awards as well as best visual presentation. The cast and crew incudes Andrew Forsberg, Alex Di-emert, Brandon Gill, Phoe-be Petkau, Laura Tebay, Jonny MacPherson, Alison Forsberg, Nicole Philipchuk, Adam Parenteau, Bree Pet-kau, Chelsea Doerksen, Ken-nedy Simonson, Makenna Helstad, Emily Zunti, Troy

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19Capricorn, although you cannot control all of the changes in your life, you do have control over your personal health. Don’t put off revamping your diet and exercise plan. AQUARIUS January 20– February 18Aquarius, close friends will keep you pretty busy over the next few days, but you can handle it. Let off steam with a few different fun activities when time allows.

PISCES February 19– March 20Use caution when making decisions this week, Pisces. You can be prone to impulsive behavior, and you don’t want to find yourself in trouble.

ARIES March 21– April 19You are a mystery lately, Aries. No one is quite sure what you will do next and you may like to surprise. But share your plans every so often with those closest to you.

TAURUS April 20– May 20Taurus, surround yourself with positive people who main-tain optimistic outlooks. Many opportunities will open up if you keep a positive attitude.

GEMINI May 21– June 21Gemini, you may resist social activities this week at first, but soon you will get swept up in the fun and lose your inhibitions. Use social activities as a way to network.

CANCER June 22– July 22Cancer, if you are thinking about a career move, it’s about time you put your plans in motion. This week you may find you are full of energy and ready for a new challenge.

LEO July 23– August 22Leo, a renewed sense of enthusiasm has you eager to get started on future plans. Perhaps a new course of study will suffice and pave the way for new experiences.

VIRGO August 23– September 22A chance encounter with an old flame stirs up feelings you didn’t realize you still had, Virgo. Even if these feelings are less dramatic, you’re still tempted to act on them.

LIBRA September 23– October 22Libra, it is up to you to initiate action in a situation that leaves you somewhat uncomfortable this week. Don’t hesitate to step up and take charge.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21A difference of opinion may be highlighted at work this week when you are confronted by a coworker, Scorpio. Act with integrity, but be firm with your resolve.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21Sagittarius, others may try to stop you from having fun, but you are determined to enjoy yourself. Your entire week is focused on having a good time with friends and family.

By JAMES [email protected] Clavet Composite School drama students walked away with the Best Over-all Production for their play “Shuttersome: Tales of Poe” at the Saskatchewan Region 11 Drama Festival in Prince Albert April 24. Clavet students now ad-vance to the provincial dra-ma festival at the Universi-ty of Regina. They are slated to perform at the provincial festival May 8. The play, inspired by five books of world renowned au-thor Edgar Allen Poe, con-tains segments of Poe’s work. Students then inter-pret those segments through acting, singing and dance. There were few moments where a single performer stole the show, said Clavet Composite School Drama Teacher Ulrich. The Clavet Drama team also includes Leslie Schmidt, Jon Pedersen and Brayden Bentley. “We were looking for something different than what we have done in the past. We always try to change it up and experiment with different genres of dra-ma,” said Ulrich. “We have done comedies before but this one was dark. There was more movement in-volved in this play, which is challenging because there was a lot of teamwork in-volved.” It is the second time in three years that the school won the award; but every time you win it is special, said Ulrich. She said the kids were ex-cited about winning the award and she was very proud of their efforts, but Ulrich reminded students

before their performance at regional festival to not let the promise of an award be a distraction. “I told them to give it their all, see what happens and then anything you get is a gift. If you do get an award, realize that you worked very hard for it,” said Ul-rich. “I know they worked hard. They are definitely de-serving of the award.” There were also individ-ual awards handed out dur-ing the competition. Tal-lasse Crosby won the Best Stage Manager Award. Bai-ley Royer was runner up for the Bob Hinitt Technical Award, Royer also won the Acting Merit Award, Gracie Brissaw won the Lighting Merit Award, Risa Koetting won the Cheer Award. The entire cast won the Acting Merit award for teamwork.

Hanley Composite sCHool The drama club at Hanley Composite School performed their play One Giant Lamp at the SDF Region 6 compe-tition in Davidson and won every award except Best Overall Picture. Their play tells the story of two elderly ladies who are forced to live on the moon and coexist with aliens when the earth becomes too crowded. Nicola Classen won the Shining Star Award, Mor-gan Lester and Maeve Knud-sen won the Technical Cer-tificate of Merit Award, Taylor Seymour won the Acting Certificate of Merit Award, Technical Awards of Merit went to Hank Safarik for sound and Aiden Classen for Assistant Stage Manager duties. Other awards includ-ed Truman Griffin who re-

ceived the Bob Hinitt Award for Best technical Perfor-mance, Nicola Classen won the Mary Ellen Burgess Award for Best Actor, Mor-gan Lester won the award for Best Stage Manager, and-Best Technical Crew award went to Morgan Lester, Aid-en Classen, Truman Griffin, Hank Safarik, Maeve Knud-sen) Drama students also won awards for Best Technical and Best Visual Production. Leanne Griffin, Drama director for Hanley Com-posite School’s drama club, said despite not winning the award for best overall, stu-dents were happy with the response they received from audiences after three perfor-mances of their play at the school and at the regional competition. Part of the challenge with their play was the creation of an alien language, which students had to execute in an expressive way that still told a story without losing the audience. Griffin said adjudicators appreciated how challeng-ing this task was to achieve for students during the per-formance of the play. “Some of what the Sask Drama Association adju-dicators are told to look for is endeavor so that is the creative aspects of the play, how difficult it is and whether it was achieved,” said Griffin. Griffin said she is al-ways looking outside the box when it comes to select-ing what plays students are to perform annually. “My goal as a director is for them to appreciate dif-ferent types of plays and stretch their abilities so that was a big success,” Griffin.

Clavet, Hanley win awards at regional drama festivals

On May 1, Kate MacEach-ern of The Long Way Home organization began a 3,100 km walk from Nipawin, Sas-katchewan to Chilliwack, British Columbia to raise funds in support of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder awareness and treatment. Funds raised through the walk will support the follow-ing organizations: Wound-ed Warriors Weekend, The NASH Project, PAWS Fur Thought, and Alpha K9. Kate will wear a GPS tracker on her walk so peo-ple can follow her prog-ress through her website at www.thelongwayhome.com.

She will pass by the follow-ing Saskatchewan commu-nities: •Nipawin •PrinceAlbert •NorthBattleford •Lloyminster Four therapy horses and two therapy dogs from The Nash Project will accom-pany Kate on her journey. The Nash Project is a non-profit organization based in Lethbridge, Alberta, that trains horses and dogs to as-sist people with PTSD and other special needs. Kate MacEachern served 8 years in the Canadian Army as a Tanker. At work

Veteran takes ‘long way home’in 2007, she suffered griev-ous injuries including a bro-ken neck, spinal cord dam-age, and a fractured skull.Her family was told she would remain in a vegeta-tive state indefinitely; she walked out 9 days later.

May 3 to 9 marks Nation-al Emergency Preparedness Week in the province. “All Saskatchewan fam-ilies need to take the time to plan for emergencies -- what you need and where you will go in the event of a flood, fire, or storm,” Pro-vincial Fire Commission-er Duane McKay said. “Put-ting together a plan for your home only takes a few hours but can save lives.” One of the easiest things a family can do when emer-gency planning is to pre-

Emergency Preparedness Week markedpare a basic kit, which is ac-cessible in the home, with supplies that should last at least 72 hours. Family kits should include: bottled wa-ter, flashlight, radio and bat-teries, first-aid kit, non-per-ishable food and a manual can opener, prescriptions, medications and medical documents, cash, informa-tion such as your home’s floor plan, location of emer-gency exits, a meeting area, up-to-date contact informa-tion and health card infor-mation. For more informa-

tion about preparing a 72 hour kit visit the Govern-ment of Canada’s “Get Pre-pared” website at www.get-prepared.gc.ca. Emergency Management organizations across the country also suggest once you have your family’s plan and 72 hour kit ready that you should adequately pre-pare for the safety of your pets. Pet kits should include:Leashes, harnesses, and pet carriers, Blanket, non-per-ishable pet food, and bowls, water, and toys.

Hague drop-in centre provides youth with a sense of belongingBy TERRY [email protected] When The Zone first opened its doors in 1999, its goal was to help “at risk” teenagers avoid the pitfalls of drugs and alcohol. Sixteen years later, that’s still the number one priority for the youth drop-in centre in Hague. “The people who got the ball rolling on this youth centre felt that if they could save even one young per-son from making a mistake, then it was all worth it,” said The Zone Director Lar-ry Fehr. “I know it’s made a big difference in many young lives over the years, and I hope it keeps going for a long time yet.” The Zone is operated un-der the auspices of the Saskatoon Youth For Christ (YFC) chapter. Fehr is the only full-time employee, and he works with a board of di-rectors and volunteers to map out a fundraising strat-egy to pay the bills, as well as programming and ac-tivities for young people throughout the year. In ad-dition to holding down a part-time job as a bus driver for Valley Christian Acad-emy in Osler, he’s also the janitor, maintenance man and public relations offi-cer for the Zone. But his in-formal job description also includes trusted counsel-or and role model for young teens who may find it diffi-cult talking to most adults. The youth centre is locat-

ed in a former commercial strip mall adjacent to the old Highway 11 service road. It was purchased for $35,000 in 1998 after the town took back the property for un-paid taxes. Parents and vol-unteers raised funds to pur-chase the building, and then pitched in to completely ren-ovate the interior and exteri-or, outfitting the space with pool tables, booths and oth-er furniture. The objective was to make a safe, welcom-ing, non-judgmental envi-ronment for young people to hang out with their friends. Fehr, a third-generation dairy farmer, came on the scene as the assistant direc-tor a few months after the centre first opened in 1999.

At the time, the oldest of his four boys was in Grade 9, a “vulnerable age” when many kids often start exper-imenting with drugs and al-cohol. Fehr said he devel-oped a personal interest in the centre because he was concerned for his own kids’ future. Shortly after he started, he took on the role of Direc-tor. By then he had sold his dairy cattle and was com-mitted to the career change. He credits the contribu-tion of volunteers and board members for the success of The Zone, the longest-run-ning youth centre of its kind in Canada. “It’s a good place for kids,” he said in an interview at the centre on Thursday, April 11. “It’s been around for sixteen years, so peo-ple maybe take it for grant-ed, but there are many peo-ple who are very passionate about keeping this going. The fundraising events al-ways seem to bring out peo-ple’s generosity because

they know it’s a good cause and they want to support it.” A recent auction in Hague brought in about $23,000 for The Zone. The next one won’t be for another two years, to avoid tapping too deeply into supporters’ pock-ets too often, said Fehr. The centre also holds an annual fundraising banquet every fall, and its second annual golf tournament is slated for next month. In addition to providing games, activities and mu-sic for its youthful clien-tele, The Zone also organiz-es periodic camping trips to northern Saskatchewan and excursions to Christian-ori-ented youth conferences. Fehr said while the YFC is the overseer for The Zone, it’s “not a Bible-thumping” place. “That was one of the foun-dations laid out at the be-ginning,” said Fehr. “When it comes to religion, there are church youth groups for that. I’m not saying it’s not a part of what we do here.

The Zone Director Larry Fehr lines up a shot on the drop-in centre’s pool table. The Zone is a youth drop-in centre in Hague

that has been in continuous operation since 1999


vided a fitting kickoff for Emergency Preparedness Week (May 3-9).

BATTLED GRASSFIRES Martensville firefighters were called into action on Saturday, May 2 to assist Dalmeny Fire Rescue battle a grassfire near Dalmeny. High winds fanned the flames and made things dif-ficult for firefighters, but the blaze was eventually brought under control. While Dalmeny firefight-ers mopped up the last of that fire, Martensville fire personnel got a second call about another grassfire just west of Martensville. “We sent two trucks with a good size crew to help Dalmeny, and then came

back right away to fight an-other one,” said Dyck. “In total we were out there for about five hours on Satur-day. We almost didn’t want to do this (training exercise) today because we all had our share of fighting fires yesterday.” Dyck said he wasn’t cer-tain how the grassfire near Dalmeny started, but the one near Martensville start-ed as a controlled burn that “got away” from the land-owner. “The fire ban in Corman Park was lifted after last weekend’s snowfall,” said Dyck. “But it’s dried up pretty quickly. We may have to put a fire ban back on. It keeps threatening rain but never seems to come.”

It is. But it’s simply put out there as an option for kids to follow up on their own if they feel so inclined. We don’t push it on anybody.” Fehr said the majority of youth who frequent the drop-in centre don’t belong to any church. He said while the numbers of youth using the facility have declined re-

cently compared to earlier years, it’s still a busy place. He estimates about 20 youth can be found there on a typ-ical evening, “if there’s no hockey game on that night.” “Ultimately, we’re trying to keep kids out of trouble and give them a safe place where they can socialize and just be kids,” said Fehr.

By ELIZABETH HEATCOTEGreat Plains CollegeCommunications Coordinator Students from the Great Plains College Warman Campus gathered with over 150 friends, family and classmates at the Brian King Centre on April 30 to celebrate their graduation. “Graduations are a time when we stop the regular pattern of our work day and take time to acknowledge, congratulate and celebrate the students and their ac-complishments,” said Rob Neufeld, Great Plains Col-lege region manager. The college, through pro-grams and support services, strives to ensure that gradu-ates are prepared to take the next step to a successful fu-ture. “Graduates, isn’t that the reason why you enrolled last fall? You wanted to set a direction—determin-ing your own destination—for your career and your life,” said Neufeld as he ad-dressed the graduates. Some students will, or already have, entered the workforce. Others have used the certifi-cate programs as a bridge to higher education opportuni-ties. Students who complet-ed Adult Basic Education, Administrative Assistant, Early Childhood Educa-tion, Educational Assis-tant and Youth Care Work-er certificate programs were recognized at the ceremo-ny. Outstanding Academ-ic Achievement and Pro-fessionalism Awards were presented to a student from each program. The Outstanding Academ-ic Achievement Awards for highest overall average were presented to Jesse Boldt, Adult Basic Education; Courtney Ady, Administra-tive Assistant; Karen Liso-way, Early Childhood Ed-ucation; Sheila Spychaj, Educational Assistant; and Mikayla Balon, Youth Care Worker. The Professionalism Awards were presented to students who conduct them-selves in a particularly pro-fessional manner through-out the year. The winners of this unique post-secondary award were Rachel Berg, Adult Basic Education; Can-dace Garner, Administra-tive Assistant; Charmaine Stone, Early Childhood Ed-ucation; Sheila Spychaj, Ed-ucational Assistant; and Cheryl McAvoy, Youth Care Worker.

“We have watched the stu-dents work very hard all year. It is exciting to give them this opportunity to cel-ebrate their achievement,” added Neufeld. In the upcoming 2015-16 academic year, the Business certificate program will be added to the list of course of-ferings at the Warman Cam-pus. Students in the pro-gram will be prepared to enter the workforce, pursue an entrepreneurial lead or continue their post-second-ary education and transfer directly into a diploma pro-gram at Saskatchewan Poly-technic. Students may also apply the certificate’s cred-

its toward a degree at sever-al other colleges and univer-sities. The Great Plains College Warman Campus also offers an eight-week Boom Truck, Crane & Hoist Operator pre-employment program and recently added a six-week Heavy Equipment Opera-tor program to its regular course offerings. Students from the programs were cel-ebrated upon the comple-tion of their respective pro-grams. Intake for 2015-16 pro-grams is ongoing at all loca-tions.

By JAMES [email protected] Sask Volleyball’s Waldheim Briercrest U16 Women’s team have their sights set on a na-tional title as they prepare to head to the 2015 Volleyball Canada Championship in Calgary, May 14-19. Briercrest defeated Saskatoon JCVC 25-20, 25-14 in the final to win the U16 Women’s Conexus Provincial Volleyball Champion-ship April 24 in Saskatoon. The team also won the Jordan Zachari-as Memorial Volleyball Classic February 6-7 in Saskatoon and the Edmonton Panda New Year’s Classic. Briercrest has only lost two games their entire season. Briercrest head coach Chris Loewen said the girls have exceeded his expectations this year. “We were able to have nine athletes that have all been dedicated to coming out to practices and showing up big in games. It has been a tremendous season,” said Loew-en. Loewen said what makes this team unique is their ability to play calm under pressure. “The girls are very positive; not emotion-al, in that they don’t get too high or too low and they are able to come together regard-less of what happens between points,” said Loewen. “They have a good skill level over-all and are able to push each other at prac-tice to compete hard and try their best.” The team also had four members: Jess,

Zacharias, Mia Harder, Reece Harder, and Kayla Zazula, who also won a Saskatche-wan High Schools Athletic Association pro-vincial title with Waldheim School this year. As challenging as some of their games were this year, Loewen said he was espe-cially proud of the efforts of Jayda Harder and Madison Toombs, who had to learn how to play a new position this year. Heading into the Volleyball Canada Championship Loewen said he is not going to have a lot of information on participating teams at the tournament to prepare ahead of time. Despite that Loewen said he would still like Briercrest to medal. “It is a whole different atmosphere at this tournament because they have 20 to 30 courts in one area and it is really loud so there is a lot going on,”said Loewen. “I think composure is a big one for me and that the girls continue to put out the effort for each other to pursue the best.” All teams get tiered based on how they finish provincially, which Loewen expects should put them in a top tier pool heading into the championship. Loewen said in their down time he plans on playing a couple of matches against a U18 team in preparation for their trip to Calgary. “There is a U18 team in town that we will hopefully get a chance to scrimmage with, which will be good for us. It will be good for our team to put out more of an effort and push,” said Loewen.

ers have family commit-ments. At the same time, there’s been an injection of new blood as younger players are added to the lineup and some veterans have been picked up from other teams. Stefanuk said Jordie Ga-gnon and Ryan Olde have joined the Delisle Diamond Dogs for the year in hopes of wining a Canadian Senior A title. “They may rejoin us for provincials,” said Stefanuk. Darwin Davis, one of the longest-serving players on the team and the de facto manager of the team, has fi-nally hung up his golden glove, at least temporarily, said Stefanuk. “Darwin is taking the year off, anyway,” said Ste-fanuk. “So it appears as though I will be the head

coach by default.” Monty Scherr is also not on the roster due to work commitments, and Richard Hesse is taking the year off to do some umpiring. Stefanuk said one of the big additions to the team’s lineup this year is Andrew Busby, who played many years with Delisle. “Andrew is a standout athlete who was possibly the best wide receiver the Saskatoon Hilltops football team has ever had,” said Stefanuk. “Andy can also pitch, so we will have great use for him. Andy is a top-level ball player who has played 11 years with Delisle and just wants a change.” Other additions in-clude Todd Dyck, a former Gem who pitched for the Saskatoon Padres last sea-son; and Mitchell Morin,

brother of veteran Jeremy Morin. Stefanuk said the team is hoping to add two more players to the lineup, includ-ing a pitcher. The roster at this point includes: Stefanuk, Matt Scherr, Josh Reid, Shane Reid, Mario Degagne, Chris Lehmann, Kendall Haniken-ne, Chad Keating, Jeremy Morin, Mitchell Morin, An-drew Busby, Evan Kachmar-ski,, Todd Dyck and Jordan Asselin. The team is gearing up for the provincial Senior Men’s C fastball championship, which is tentatively sched-uled for Saskatoon July 24-26. The full schedule, along with game results, is avail-able online at the SASA website at www.saskatoona-mateursoftball.com .

hockey fundraiserThe third annual Warman Community Hockey Tournament last weekend raised $7507.54 for a second ice surface at the Legends Centre. The two-day tournament mixed together players of varying skill levels and assigned them to different teams. It’s all about getting to know other residents, having a good time and raising money for a good cause, say the organizers.

By HILARY [email protected] When grasslands are un-der threat, it may require a grass roots movement to protect them. Such a move-ment is currently gaining momentum in Saskatch-ewan as awareness of the threat is growing through some concentrated efforts. The film, Grasslands was shown in Saskatoon recent-ly at the Saskatoon Pub-lic Library theatre. The free event packed the ven-ue, drawing an estimated 250 people, with some stand-ing along the sidelines and spilling out the door. The film, directed by former Saskatchewan resident Ian Toews, features mainly the resplendent landscapes of Grasslands National Park in the southern part of the province, along with stun-ning scenes of resident wild-life in their habitats. Seen through the eyes of ranch-ers, conservationists and aboriginal people, the film makes a compelling case for the grasslands. When the federal govern-ment divested itself of re-sponsibility for the PFRA (Prairie Farm Rehabilita-

tion Administration) pas-tures in Saskatchewan in 2013, responsibility for them fell to the province. The province’s plan was to sell them off, and although that plan has encountered op-position from pasture pa-trons, conservationists, art-ists, First Nations groups, and a wide range of Sas-katchewan citizens, it is still not fully off the table. Public Pastures Public Interest (PPPI) is a group of rural and urban indi-viduals interested in con-serving the grasslands in Saskatchewan. One such in-dividual is Trevor Herriot, a well-known author in the province. Herriot was in-troduced to the audience by Candace Savage, and spoke as an activist following the film screening. “We have 1.7 million acres and 62 pastures in the prov-ince and we’re arguing very much that we are at risk of losing them,” said Herriot. “Although the majority of our landscape and northern Great Plains was lost and cultivated during the first 50 or 60 years of settlement of our ancestors coming here and settling the place,

and we were down to 30 per cent left, we have continued over the last 30 years to lose little bits here and there. It isn’t stopping. There are still people rounding off cor-ners and getting off 30 to 40 acres here, a hundred acres there, cultivating ancient grasslands. These are real-ly old places, this is our old growth prairies just in the same way that old growth forests are valuable and ir-replaceable,” said Herriot in an interview. Only 11 per cent of our As-pen parkland remains, ac-cording to Herriot, and there’s grassland right around Saskatoon and area that is in even greater dan-ger than Grasslands Nation-al Park. A number of pas-tures in the south-east have been damaged by the oil and gas industry. A transition process is currently underway as 10 pastures a year are being handed over by the federal government. “There’s a big pasture called Wolverine out by Lanigan that’s one of the best pieces in the Aspen system which has been tran-sitioned already.” Ten will come to the province this

Saskatchewan grasslands in danger year. “The province then makes a deal with the graz-ing patrons forcing them to form a business or a co-op with people they sometimes have never met before to come up with a plan of man-aging and governing and taking care of the public in-terest of these lands them-selves. We don’t do that with any other ecosystem in Can-ada,” said Herriot. Saskatchewan Agriculture continues to say the pas-tures are still technically available for purchase, even though nobody has offered to buy one yet, according to Herriot. If the land falls into private hands, the public in-terest of conservation can-not be guaranteed in perpe-tuity. The PPPI believes the so-lution is public ownership with publicly accountable management and gover-nance, with participation from a full range of stake-holders - cattle producers, conservationist and heri-tage groups, rural munici-palities, the archeological society and first nations. “Together we think we can come up with a gover-nance and management sys-tem that would, at a very low cost to the province, manage Saskatchewan’s

Saskatchewan Grasslands are under threat, sustaining serious losses from the onset of colonization to the present

day. The provincial government wants to turn PFRA pastures handed over to the province by the federal

government into privately owned land, placing future conservation under threat.

most endangered land-scapes for the long term,” said Herriot. The grasslands invite us to slow down, to take the long view. Herriot said he has made it his mission as a writer to try to open peo-ple’s hearts and minds up to the beauty of the Great Plains. His favourite grassland is the PFRA pasture at Val Marie. “I often think of it as a much more contemplative place. You slow down and let it come into you, spend time

there alone, not walking along chattering or driving quickly, but just being qui-et, sitting still and letting the grassland seep into you. And many people will find it a deep and profound expe-rience and will come back again and again.” Grasslands are considered the most endangered eco-type on the continent. The evening ended with a plea to the public to write pre-mier Brad Wall and ask him the difficult questions, like, “What is your plan for pro-tecting these pastures?”
