Highway 11 temporary access closure timeline

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The administrator of the RM of Corman Park confirmed on Friday that both the Ministry of Highways and the RM are moving forward on the temporary closure of an access to Highway 11.

The pilot project will see

Range Road 3052 closed, ending a portion of the cross traffic at the intersection.

Many see the safety measure as long overdue.

“We had done some unofficial work where we talked to people in the East Cory Industrial Park and people in North Corman Industrial Park, said Adam Tittemore.

The RM polled those businesses and asked if they would be adversely affected. “The response was a resounding, ‘you should have done this already’,” he said.

A letter informing ratepayers of the change is forthcoming. It provides the justification behind the decision and information on alter-

nate routes. A revised signage plan from the ministry is included.

Area residents will have a couple of weeks to process the information and explore the proposed alternate routes.

“Then the ministry has indicated that they would have their signage up, the elec-

tronic boards letting people know a week in advance, that this is going to be the change,” said Tittemore.

“We’re thinking that within the first week of June everything will be fully in place.”

Tittemore estimated several acreage owners could have their commute increased by 1.5 kilometres.

“That’s not to say they’ll absolutely love it, but we feel for the safety trade-off, this works.” They would be using Lutheran Road (aka Township Road 382).

The ministry will factor the impact to traffic operations at the intersection into considerations of a possible permanent closure.

Martensville adopts Parks and Recreation Master Plan

While details of invest-

ment and planning are to be decided in consultation with the public, the master plan will guide the recreation and parks department in both the short and longterm, said Martensville Rec-

Robotics gearing up in Prairie Spirit Schools

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Unlike sumo wrestlers who relish rotundity, sumobots are 10 centimetres square and compact. Like sumo wrestlers, battles between two sumobots end when ‘someone’ is forced outside the boundaries of a circle.

Sumobots are proliferating in the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) through the robotics program, which began about four or five years ago. The program has now been adopted by seven schools.

To sharpen their skill sets, students from the various programs gathered at Delisle Composite School, along with their teachers, for some challenges on April 29.

One of those students, Ken Wiebe from Hague, says he’s ready to take his robotics course out for a spin.

After one semester, Wiebe has plans to build a project for his parents, using the knowledge he’s gained. He might have to interrupt his current project of building a dune buggy for himself.

“We have a farm and there’s doors you can get for the back of the grain truck

the backside of their nametags and got it stamped for every challenge they completed successfully.

Brett Berry, teacher and vice-principal at Hague High School said the day allowed the various schools who have the robotics program to come together and see what’s going on within the division.

“It’s a non-competitive challenge day. It’s also a way to actively promote robotics within the school division. We’re hoping more will get on board with this.

It’s been generating a lot of excitement each year and the sumobot competition at Sask Polytechnic has played a big role.”

The program has been running in Hague for three years. Berry said the younger kids are watching and exHILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE cited for the day when they can get into robotics. “It’s Ken Wiebe (right) from Hague High School faces off against his sumobot been awesome,” he said. rival at a recent PSSD robotics challenge day in Delisle.

Clark wrote a locally developed course, garnered funds for hardware from the division, created instructional videos for the students and crafted all the assignments and answer keys.

The 2016 Sumobot Rumble at Sask Polytechnic took place on April 14. Now the PSSD group is talking about having their next challenge day before the next Polytechnic competition, so they’re better prepared.

Maybe Ken Wiebe will stop by and join the fun.

He’s been accepted into the engineering program at the U of S for the fall.

Berry thinks exposure to robotics can broaden students’ awareness about future opportunities. He says student engagement has been fantastic.

“Ken’s frame always is that engineering lens and he’s been able to do some amazing things, in terms of thinking outside the box and using those skills, because there’s room for both advanced thinkers and beginners.”

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Loyal and protective, Rex faced the test of his life last Christmas Eve. Now the beloved Alaskan MalamuteGerman Shepherd cross is being called a hero.

His owners, Mitch and Santana Hawman, their kids and a nephew were away from their Aberdeen area acreage for a pre-Christmas dinner in Saskatoon, while a fire grew around Mitch’s sleeping mother at home.

Noreen Lucas was not feeling well and had stayed behind to rest, in the hopes she would feel better on

Christmas Day. She took a sleeping pill and was sleeping so deeply, she did not hear the smoke alarm or Rex’s barking.

Rex grabbed her pyjama pant-leg and started pulling. Hawman says his Mom just rolled over and went into a deeper sleep. Eventually Rex was able to pull Lucas off the couch and halfway to the front door, when she finally woke up. When she saw the flames and realized what was happening, she grabbed what she could and ran out the front door.

Lucas called her son in a panic and told him his house was burning. He saw

the glowing sky from a distance while returning home, and knew that was his house. His wife had called 911, but there was nothing firefighters could do.

Rex was nine-years-old at the time and had hip problems, but he was a huge hero that night. Rex was recently inducted in the Purina Hall of Fame for saving Lucas’ life.

“If Rex didn’t pull her off the couch,” Hawman paused, “it could have been a lot worse.” It was as if the stars aligned to allow Rex to save Lucas. He was only indoors because it was a bitterly cold and windy winter

night.

Hawman said they could see Rex’s teeth marks in Lucas’ pyjamas where they went through the fabric. “He just happened to fluke out and grab where the stitching was strongest. He was smart enough not to grab her skin,” adding that Rex and Lucas have a great connection.

Purina flew the Hawmans and Lucas out to Toronto for their 2016 Hall-of-Fame inductee ceremony. The Hawmans paid for the kids to

Who’s not ‘having a cow’ over Earl’s beef decisions?

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Melanie Boldt, co-owner of Pine View Farms, says they can meet the standard that Earl’s Restaurant is seeking for beef in Canada.

They just don’t have the volume.

Located near Osler, Pine View Farms offers all natural products and has been operated by Kevin and Melanie Boldt since 1998.

The Earl’s national restaurant chain said last week they would be switching to a U.S. beef producer that offers a “certified humane” product. A week later they reversed their decision, saying they ‘made a mistake.’

Part of the Earl’s controversy may arise from a widening gap between what mass production provides and what some consumers are looking for.

“We know in our business that more and more people want to know how their food is produced,” said Boldt. “Consumers crave more and better information about their food --- where it came from, how it was raised (including things like animal welfare, medications, hormones etc.) and processed.” She believes Earl’s was just being market responsive in their initial decision.

The majority of Canadian beef is processed at two large plants in Alberta. Cargill in High River can process 4,500 head of cattle every day. Mass production creates certain industry protocols that have become standard including the use of hormones and antibiotics.

The “certified humane” label originates from the Humane

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

The handling of bovine creatures like these has become a source of controvesy after Earl’s went after “certified humane” beef.

Farm Animal Care initiative in Virginia, and is applied to products that come from animals who have not received unnecessary antibiotics and not experienced overcrowding in confinement systems.

It is considered better for the environment and farmers receive a fair price for their efforts.

“I don’t believe our Canadian system is set up to deliver identity-preserved traceable product like what Earl’s is looking for,”

said Boldt.

To ease concerns about hormone use in cattle, the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association website states, “the use of hormone implants means fewer resources are used to produce beef.” The result is, 11 per cent more beef is produced from 20 percent fewer cattle (from 1977 to 2007).

It’s an efficiency-based model that thrives in economies of scale.

At Pine View Farms, it takes

18 to 24 months to raise a steer, and they slaughter about three a week, Boldt says. Animals are outdoors whenever possible, free to roam. “We’re not pushing them to grow fast.”

Pine View Farms made a decision to grow their beef naturally without hormones or antibiotics at the outset.

“We decided to do something different that fit with our beliefs and our philosophy about food

and what we wanted to put in our bodies. And we thought, there’s a few people out there who might like to eat the same way we do.

And it turns out there are,” said Boldt.

Rob McNabb, head of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA), went on record last week to say that the Canadian beef industry is in the process of developing a program that would meet the same standards the Vancouver-based restaurant chain is seeking — beef raised and slaughtered humanely and produced without antibiotics, steroids or growth hormones.

In a May 4 press release, the CCA indicated they are in sustainability discussions with the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef and want Earl’s to participate.

Earl’s President Mo Jessa has said this week that the restaurant will work with local ranchers and get Canadian beef back into their restaurants as quickly as possible.

Boldt wishes Pine View Farms could supply Earl’s. Currently they serve Ayden Kitchen & Bar, the Delta Bessborough, Double Tree by Hilton, and The Hollows.

“We as farmers need to pay attention to what consumers are asking for. Farmers need to find their voice and tell the story of food in a transparent, authentic way, stating exactly what they do or don’t do.”

Many are watching to see how a major industry attempts to respond to the demands of a more niche market.

Aberdeen firefighters save family’s home

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A family’s home on an acreage about two miles southwest of Aberdeen was saved thanks to the efforts of Aberdeen firefighters and neighbouring farmers.

A fire late Thursday afternoon, May 5, claimed a garage, barn and some vehicles on the acreage. The fire also resulted in the temporary closure of Highway 41 near Aberdeen because of thick smoke that at times reduced visibility to near-zero.

No one was injured in the fire, which began as a controlled burn on a flax stubble field. Late in the day, strong winds fanned the flames and it got out of control, spreading to the dry grass on a nearby acreage.

Aaron Pfeiffer, 19, recently moved into Saskatoon from the affected acreage, where his family lives. He said his 12-year-old brother phoned him at about 4:30 p.m. to say the field in front of their house was ablaze and heading towards him and his two sisters, age 15 and 8. The three children vacated the house and waited at a safe distance for firefighters to arrive after the younger boy called 911.

“I woke up this morning wishing it had all been a bad dream, but it wasn’t,” said Pfeiffer in a phone interview on Friday, May 6. “There was tons of damage to the acreage. We lost the side of our garage and our whole barn. It’s lucky the house was saved. The fire was only

about 20 feet away from it.

“But the big thing is, everybody is safe,” he added.

“Stuff can be replaced.”

Pfeiffer said when he got the call from his brother, he literally “dropped everything” and drove out to the acreage, crossing the river at the Clarkboro Ferry.

“When I got close I could see it was a pretty big fire,” he said. “My step-dad is a trucker and he was away on the road, and my mom was at work or getting groceries so she wasn’t there either.

My brother and sisters were pretty scared; but the fire department was there and they really did a great job.

They saved an antique truck and a tractor from getting burnt in the garage by hooking up a chain and dragging it out.”

At one point, propane tanks in one of the buildings exploded, sending a fireball high into the air.

Aberdeen Fire Chief Adrian Hamoline said when the call came in, the volunteer fire department was able to muster a full crew of 17 members.

“It was lucky it happened at that time of day,” said Hamoline. “A lot of guys were getting back to town after work, and a lot of our other members are farmers who are nearby.”

Hamoline said he knew the location because the controlled burn had been phoned in earlier in the day.

“I knew it would be big,” he said. “The way the wind was blowing it couldn’t help

but spread fast. We just didn’t know how big it was until we got there.

“You could see it from town,” he added. “It was only a couple miles away.”

Hamoline credited farmer neighbours who used heavy equipment to make firebreaks and control the spread of the fire in the field.

“It was dangerous work, but they didn’t hesitate at all,” he said. “We couldn’t have done it without them.”

Saskatoon RCMP officers also responded to the scene, and with the aid of Aberdeen First Responders, controlled traffic on nearby Highway 41. At one point, the highway was closed for a short time due to the thick smoke, which cut visibility to near zero and made travelling hazardous. The highway was reopened shortly before 6:00 p.m. on May 5.

Hamoline said the fire department focused on making sure everyone was safe and that the house was protected. He said when the fire department arrived at the scene they did their best to save the vehicles inside one of the smaller buildings before it suddenly caught fire.

RM of Aberdeen Administrator Gary Dziadyk said on Friday, May 6 that the RM council was considering a fire ban, but had not made a decision. The council is scheduled to meet this week.

Dziadyk said the firefighters did a “fantastic” job.

“It could have been a real tragedy,” he said. “They deserve a lot of credit.”

RM of Corman Park councilor, David Fox, reported this dump of garbage in the RM, which allowed the police to track down the perpetrator and collect a $580 fine.

‘Don’t throw your junk in my backyard’ says reeve

HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca No one enjoys having 18 bags of garbage dumped in their yard. But someone just tossed that quantity of refuse in the RM of Corman Park’s back yard. That someone was fined $580.

Beyond being upsetting and unsightly, illegal dumping is costly for the RM Judy Harwood, reeve of the RM of Corman Park wants people to stop.

“Don’t use us as your personal dump, because if you are caught you will be fined,” she says. “It’s a lot cheaper to go and pay your gate fee at a landfill than to get caught dumping in our ditches.”

It was RM councilor David Fox who made the discovery and reported it. RM police will be cracking down on this kind of activity.

“Through talking to the police, I am aware that they do like to respond to these

cases of dumping because, from what’s in the garbage they can sometimes identify who’s left it. It’s a good idea to call the police,” said Fox. In this case, the dumper’s identity was revealed through the contents of the garbage and that person was charged.

RM police chief, John Garnet, encourages people to report these incidents.

“If you do see somebody stopping and unloading garbage, get a license plate, take a picture and give us a shout. The sooner we can get on top of it and get a look at the problem, get a look at the garbage, the better likelihood we have of laying charges.”

Garnet says unfortunately illegal dumping is a common occurrence and something they’d like to see decline. “It’s covered under the Environment Management CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

Construction crews began applying the second lift on a section of Highway 305 between Martensville and Dalmeny last week. The work should be completed later this week.

TOWN OF OSLER

PUBLIC NOTICE

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Province will continue to build despite revenue challenges: Heppner

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The finishing touches on Highway 305 between Martensville and Dalmeny should be completed by the end of this week, according to Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner.

Speaking at the Martensville Chamber of Commerce (MCOC) annual general meeting in Martensville on Wednesday, May 4, Heppner said the work is just one piece of a massive effort to upgrade the transportation network across the province.

“Last year was a difficult budget for us because of the downturn in oil prices in particular,” said Heppner.

“But one thing we decided was that we couldn’t stop building, regardless of whether it was schools or hospitals or highways.

“And as you can see, Highway 305 is just getting finished up as the second lift is going on now. The first lift was applied last fall. The project should be completed by next week.”

Heppner said the recent-

16052WW1

ly-re-elected Sask Party government led by Premier Brad Wall has finalized next year’s provincial budget.

“It’s not pretty,” she said.

“Our revenues are down and when potential revenues go down there is always a spinoff across all government ministries.

“We’re trying very hard to keep our spending under control. But we legitimately have a revenue problem.

“I can’t tell you what’s happening in the budget at this time, but I can tell you that our philosophy remains the same: that we will continue to build.”

Heppner said many people expressed concern to her that the promised overpasses at Martensville and Warman might become casualties of government spending cuts. That is definitely not the case, she said.

“The tender for the overpasses should be issued this summer, and we should see shovels in the ground soon,” she said. “These are huge projects and I’m very excited about them.”

Heppner said the Martensville-Warman constituency has seen $340 million worth of improved infrastructure projects since 2008 as a re-

Ens re-elected to Board of Martensville Chamber Trent Ens is back at the helm of the Martensville Chamber of Commerce (MCOC) after being re-elected to the Board of Directors of the organization last week.

Ens, who operates a meatprocessing and retail store in Martensville, was reelected to serve another year on the MCOC, which was founded a year ago.

Over the past 12 months, the organization has grown to 24 members.

Under a constitution and set of bylaws adopted at the MCC annual general meeting on Wednesday, May 4, the MCOC board of directors will meet to choose its slate of officers, including President, Vice-President,

Treasurer and Secretary, as well as Members-at-large.

Ens stated at the AGM he is willing to assume the role of president for another year if the board so desires.

The other people elected to the MCOC board for oneyear terms include: Sherisse Sametts, Anthony Nienhuis and Shanine Sealey.

Directors elected for twoyear terms include: Stephen Nicholson, Tracey Fesiuk, Tracy Cocks, and Jaime Holowaty.

Ens said the MCOC is looking forward to co-hosting the inaugural WarmanMartensville Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards, scheduled for Saturday, May 28 at the Brian King Centre in Warman.

sult of provincial funding.

“That’s the highest for any riding in the province,” she said. “The Martensville area alone has benefited to the tune of $150 million.”

Heppner said infrastructure projects in urban and rural municipalities have been built as a result of the provincial revenue-sharing formula.

“Last year municipalities received $1.685 million through revenue-sharing, which provides municipalities with 1 point of the PST, which actually translates into 20 per cent of the PST revenue,” said Heppner.

“In 2007, municipalities received about $500,000.”

She said in addition to highway improvements, the two new joint-use schools under construction in Martensville and Warman will accommodate about 1,000 students each, along with 90 daycare spaces each.

“These are a step in the right direction for two of the fastest-growing communities in the province,” she said.

Corporate welfare is bad for national unity

By Aaron Wudrick Canadian Taxpayers Association

COMMENTARY

Bombardier is on a bit of a roll these days. Large deals with Air Canada and Delta Air Lines for its marquee CSeries planes have boosted confidence in the company.

Yet, despite this good news (and the CSeries top exec’s statement last month that a bailout is “very clearly not required”) the debate over a federal bailout for Bombardier rages on.

While much of the focus is rightly on the economic merits (or more accurately, demerits) of corporate welfare, political considerations are inevitably part of the equation.

And on this front, two parallel narratives – neither of which bode well for national unity – have emerged.

Outside of Quebec, and particularly in western Canada, there is concern that the Trudeau government will cave into demands to hand over money to a company that has perpetually struggled to survive in the marketplace without taxpayer support. This would come in an economic context that saw over 100,000 jobs lost in Alberta in the last year (where an equivalent bailout was neither proposed nor demanded).

All of this leaves the Trudeau government between a rock and a hard place. They cannot please both camps. But a critical mistake would be to view this decision as a oneoff rather than as setting a precedent that will impact Ottawa’s ability to respond to similar demands in the future. Saying yes to Bombardier would signal that it’s business as usual in Ottawa: corporate welfare will continue as it always has, and businesses will know that by dispatching the right lobbyists and telegraphing the right threats (“those are some nice high-paying jobs you’ve got there). Alternatively, they could just say no, and send a dramatically different signal: that this kind of fiscal and economic insanity ends here and now. True, Bombardier and the Quebec government won’t be happy.

But it will deprive future corporate beggars from coastto-coast (are there ever any shortage of them?) of a precedent, much like the auto bailout that Quebec and Bombardier are now relying on as justification for their own demands.

Perhaps the most understated evil of corporate welfare in Canada is its ability to exacerbate regional tensions.

Governments have limited money to dispense; choices must inevitably be made about which projects in which part of the country receive what amounts and on what conditions. When this happens, discussion of whether such corporate handouts are even a good idea becomes overshadowed by questions of regional fairness.

Corporate welfare teaches companies, and regions, that what’s important is about getting your “fair cut” of “free” money. And when your cut isn’t perceived as fair, it can turn a wasteful policy into a corrosive, emotional weapon to be used by those with regional grievances.

It is already too late to prevent the Bombardier bailout question from becoming regionally divisive. But the government could at least prevent it from happening again by rejecting the company’s request today. If they do, they’ll be sparing themselves a dozen similar regional headaches in the future – and saving Canadian taxpayers billions of dollars.

Rural people have beef with Earls Perhaps I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was about nine or 10 years old when I came to terms with “humane beef.”

Growing up on a mixed farming operation in northwest Manitoba, our family pastured a couple dozen head of cattle on a forested half section a few miles away.

It required checking on the small herd once or twice a week. For me, that also meant ensuring the livestock was tame enough to be easily transported back home in the fall.

That particular summer, I grew particularly attached to a chestnut steer I named Smokey, who grew both tame and fat on the grass.

Well, we drove Smokey home that fall and; as nineor 10-year-old farm boys are apt to do; I quickly forgot about the steer I had befriended.

Or at least, I did until one suppertime, when I asked: “Dad, whatever happened to Smokey?”

“You’re eating him,” my father replied.

Evidently, the Mandryk supper table was no place for sentiment. I was surpris-

ingly good with that.

Fast-forward some 40-plusyears to Western Canada and we witness Earls restaurant chain rejecting your rural beef because it doesn’t have a “certified humane beef” designation from an American non-government group.

It’s enough to make an old farm boy shake his head.

One gets that beef production has changed in last four our five decades.

Feedlots have replaced some of the pastured animals. And while antibiotic use was common in my day, steroids/hormone-infused beef was hardly an issue.

One might go as far as to suggest that cattlemen can be a stubborn lot, not always inclined to listen to what consumers are saying.

But let us stress that even under that American “humane beef” designation, antibiotics are permitted (and rightly so) for “humane”

treatment of animals to prevent sickness.

And notwithstanding how obtuse farmers and ranchers have been on the steroid question, the notion that Canadian beef is so pumped full of steroids that it poses some risk to anyone has been long ago addressed by Health Canada’s Standards.

Lost on most consumers; including Earls customers is, there are far more natural occurring fats in all beef that may not be all that great for your cholesterol level or blood pressure.

(Beef is good for you, but this old farm boy with high cholesterol knows a little more about moderation than he once did.)

However, what restaurant chains like A & W and Earls seem to be implying is their fatty hamburgers are somehow better for you. There’s no scientific basis for this claim.

Rather, what this seems to be is a marketing ploy; restaurant chains trying to differentiate themselves from their competitors.

It also preys on city people’s lack of knowledge of rural agriculture.

These are companies that

mostly sell to urban audiences. “Certified humane beef” or; in the case of A & W, “better beef” and non-genetically modified or organic products; likely sounds pretty good to city folk.

But is there any evidence “organic” beef translates into less cholesterol?

Is there one scientific study out there saying there are any dangers in GMOs? Of course not, but if foodsellers can convince you their product is better for your health or moral wellbeing, that’s what they are going to do.

This takes us back to “certified humane” beef.

One thing my family shared with today’s farmers and ranchers today is we wouldn’t sell a cow that we wouldn’t serve on our own table.

And one thing we learned long ago is that while you could be “humane” to beef while still on the hoof, there’s really not all that much humane about butchering them. It’s just how we get food.

Perhaps that’s something today’s Earls customers should know.

NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS

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 STORIES

If 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, including 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 & TIPS

All 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.

Martensville Guides collect donations for Fort McMurray evacuees

dalmeny collision smokes coupe

TERYY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

The driver of a two-door coupe was lucky to escape injury when her vehicle caught fire after crashing into the back end of a flat deck trailer that was parked on a residential street in Dalmeny on Monday, May 9. The incident happened at about 11:40 a.m. near the intersection of 5th Street and Wakefield Avenue. According to Dalmeny Police, the engine compartment of the vehicle immediately burst into flames on impact.

The 16-year-old female driver was able to grab her keys and get out of the vehicle quickly. She was not hurt, but she will be charged with driving without due care and attention under the provincial Traffic Safety Act. Dalmeny Fire Rescue personnel responded quickly with a pumper truck and were able to extinguish the fire using a combination of water and foam. A nearby home was not damaged.

Local firefighters offered help to Fort Mac

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca In the end they weren’t called on, but several firefighters from Warman and Osler were ready and willing to help battle a massive wildfire in Fort McMurray, Alberta.

A message offering to provide resources was sent to the Wood Buffalo Emergency Operations Centre about

6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3, according to Warman Fire Chief Russ Austin.

“If they need personnel or equipment, they just need to give us the word, and we’re ready,” said Austin in an interview on Wednesday, May 4. “We are on their resource list.

“We have a crew that already has pre-approved permission from their employ-

ers, and can leave at the drop of a hat.”

Austin noted that fire protection in Warman and Osler would not be compromised in the event that a crew goes to Fort McMurray.

“Our number one priority is fire protection for our own community,” he said.

In addition to several volunteers from Warman Fire

Rescue, there were also a couple of members of Osler Fire Rescue who are willing and able to go if needed, added Austin.

Firefighters from Edmonton and other Alberta communities were able to save about 80 per cent of the buildings in Fort McMurray, as well as all the essential city infrastructure including waterworks.

The Martensville Girl Guides collected donations of specific items for the evacuees from the fires in Fort McMurray.

Items were slated to be taken to the Edmonton Emergency Relief Services on Tuesday, May 10.

According to a posting on the Martensville and Area Community News Facebook page on Thursday, May 5, the Girl Guides received items until the evening of Monday, May 9.

The Guides say all donated items donated MUST be NEW, not used.

The items needed include: gift cards for grocery and department stores; soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion; toothbrushes, toothpaste; new socks or underwear; tampons and sanitary napkins; diapers, wipes, pull ups; reusable grocery bags to put items in.

The organization thanks all donors for their contributions.

School takes CPR training to heart

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Traumatic accidents can happen anyplace, anytime.

And knowing what to do in a life-threatening emergency can make all the difference.

The School Community Council (SCC) of Venture Heights School (VHS) in Martensville has taken that message to heart by hosting a series of day-long courses on first aid and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) put on by the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The most recent course was held Thursday, May 5.

Course instructor Bruce Romanow said the school invited the Heart and Stroke Foundation to educate adults and older students on basic first aid and CPR. “We look at any emergency that could be life-threatening,” said Romanow in an interview during a break in the eight-hour long class.

“So that includes things like sudden cardiac arrest, stroke, bleeding, choking, asthma-type emergencies, and also scene safety.

“At the end of the course, the students can complete a 30-question multiple-choice exam, at which point they’ll

earn their certification: an emergency first aid level C card, which is good for three years.”

The courses have been held at the school periodically over the past three years.

“It’s all about making the community safer,” said Romanow. “When you know what to do in an emergency, it’s important to step forward and do what needs to be done. Courses like this are aimed at teaching people the proper techniques, providing them with basic knowledge, and giving them the confidence to use that knowledge.”

Instructing Grade 7 and 8 students in basic CPR is also one of the goals of the school, according to VHS Principal Ron Biberdorf.

“We’ve started a project called the “Tree of Life” in which students that are trained in CPR go out and train ten other people, and then they each train ten others,” said Biberdorf. “So it just grows and grows.”

Romanow said the young people were eager to learn, and responded well to the challenge of teaching others.

“It’s a great project,” said Romanow. “Very inspiring.”

City of Warman implements outdoor fire ban

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The City of Warman has implemented a complete ban on all outdoor fires.

The fire ban was put in place at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 4 and is in effect until further notice, said Warman Fire Chief Russ Austin.

At last Monday’s Warman City Council meeting, Austin said the rains this week will likely mean the ban could be lifted on Thursday.

In the meantime, it remains in effect.

“The fire ban includes all open pit backyard fires, and also all outdoor chimineas, fireboxes and similar fireplaces,” said Austin in an interview shortly after the ban took effect. “It is extremely dry right now and it wouldn’t take very much to have a very serious situation.”

The Town of Dalmeny was the first in the North Corman Park area to implement a fire ban. The Town of Langham also has a fire ban currently in effect.

The RM of Corman Park has had a fire ban in place since mid-April because of the extremely dry conditions. Fire bans are also in effect in the RM of Vanscoy and the RM of Montrose.

The City of Martensville has not implemented a fire

ban, but is monitoring the situation daily, according to Martensville Fire Chief Kurtis Dyck.

“As long as residents have their fires contained in approved receptacles as specified in the City of Martensville bylaw, it should not present a hazard,” said Dyck in an interview on Wednesday, May 4. “But they do need to follow the rules with respect to fires within city limits, no question.”

The City of Saskatoon does not have a fire ban, but the Saskatoon Fire Department isssued a reminder to residents to follow regulations outlined it that city’s bylaw.

Late last week, the fire hazard map published by the provincial government shows virtually all of southern Saskatchewan facing “extreme” conditions.

Austin said in these types of conditions, fires can spread incredibly quickly.

“Based on the wind and humidity today, for example, the fire spread in our area would be 10 meters per minute,” said Austin.

“In other words, if someone had a 10 meter by 10 meter fire break out, then by the time they called 911 and firefighters arrived on the scene, the fire would be the size of a football field.

Warman encourages alternate-day lawn watering

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The City of Warman has implemented a voluntary policy aimed at conserving water in the city’s reservoirs.

The policy, officially put in place on Wednesday, May 4, encourages odd-numbered households to water their lawns on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; while evennumbered households can water on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. No outdoor watering is to be done on Monday.

The policy is identical to one implemented last summer, according to Warman Economic Development Officer Josh Welz. The only difference is that it’s been implemented earlier than usual because of high temperatures and lack of precipitation so far this spring.

“It’s not a mandatory policy,” said Welz. “It’s strictly voluntary, but the city council and administration encourage residents to abide

by these guidelines to ensure the city always has enough water in the reservoirs to meet emergency needs.”

Welz said residents should not be alarmed or concerned.

“There is no water shortage at this time,” said Welz.

“It’s strictly a proactive measure.”

Welz said the city is currently working to expand the capacity of its reservoirs, and has applied for funding under the federal-provincial New Building Canada fund program. Expansion of the reservoirs is also included in the city’s long-range capital budget.

He noted that in addition to the immediate practical need to ensure water levels in the reservoirs do not fall below a minimum level, there is also a longer-term environmental stewardship aspect to the policy.

“In the long run, a policy like this one aims for environmental sustainability,”

said Welz. “The city has just commissioned an environmental master plan as a way of taking into account how all our municipal policies and practices affect the en-

vironment.

“This is one area that will have an immediate beneficial impact at the grassroots level.”

Welz said it is unclear at

this time how long the voluntary lawn-watering policy will be in place.

“We are happy to see the rains coming this week, and hopefully we’ll get a sub-

stantial amount that will help us top up our reservoirs and ensure we have additional capacity,” said Welz. “A few more rains later on will also help.”

Parking bylaw being enforced in Warman

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca People who park their vehicles, or their recreational or work trailers on Warman streets for longer than 48 consecutive hours could face fines or have their vehicles impounded.

During the month of April, a total of four tickets and 10 warnings were issued by the Warman Bylaw Officer for trailers parked longer than 48 hours.

In his report to Warman City Council’s regular meeting on Monday, May 9, Wade Eberle said recreational trailers parked illegally are a concern at this time of year.

“Parking related issues are keeping us busy,” said Eberle, “especially with residents bringing out their boats and trailers. We’ll remain focused on educating the public about our bylaw as we move into summer.”

The city’s parking bylaw states that no vehicle may park for an uninterrupted period of time in excess of 48 hours. Any person who contravenes the bylaw may be liable for a penalty of $200.

The bylaw specifically mentions recreational vehicles, which are also subject to the 48-hour limit. An RV or recreational trailer must remain off the street for 48 hours before it can again be parked on the street.

Trailers attached to a vehicle that have a manufacturers’ rated carrying capacity of one ton or less are allowed to be parked on the

street for a period not exceeding two hours. They must then be moved to an off-street location for a minimum of 24 hours.

No trailer or semi-trailer can be parked on a boulevard. A fine of $200 applies to any person breaking that bylaw.

ANIMAL CONTROL

In his report to council, Eberle said the warm weather has also brought an increase in calls regarding dogs and cats running at large.

“I had eight dogs and three cats placed in our pound, and I issued five warnings for animal-related issues,” said Eberle.

He noted that April was the busiest month so far in 2016, with a total of 126 calls. A recently-hired parttime bylaw and animal control officer was hired earlier this spring to assist the bylaw officer.

Golden Health Care is pleased to announce that their 7th personal care home called “Diamond House” will be opening its doors Sept 1st, 2016. Diamond House is located at 700 Ballesteros Cres in a beautiful residential area close to the golf course in Warman, Saskatchewan.

Warman Gems get the jump on fastball season

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca With three wins in as many games so far, the Warman Gems are off to a blistering hot start with the senior men’s fastball season.

The Gems polished off the Saskatoon Merchants 14-7 in five innings on Sunday, May 8 at Gordie Howe Park.

It was the third straight win for the Gems during the opening week of the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association season. The

boys in red recorded a 9-2 win over the Bridge City Rivercats on Wednesday, May 4 and a 9-1 victory over the Hanley Merchants on Friday, May 6.

“It’s looking good so far,” said Gems player-manager Mike Stefanuk. “We’ve got solid pitching and everybody’s hitting well. This is the best team I’ve ever been part of.”

The Gems, who play in the SASA Ken Gunn Division, have their sights set on the

Provincial Senior C Men’s fastball championship tournament, slated for Prince Albert July 22-24. In addition to SASA league games, the team is also booked into highly competitive tournaments this summer at Conquest and Canwood.

Stefanuk said with four solid pitchers in Taylor Schaan, Jordan Asselin, Alex Fehr and Cory Hinz; the Gems are optimistic their mix of veterans and youth will prove to be the

right combination.

“We have a lot of young guys who played with the Junior Bullets, and they’re really fitting in well,” said Stefanuk. “These are really good ball players, but unfortunately, they didn’t have a lot of wins last season. So they’re really happy to be part of this group.”

In Sunday’s game, the Gems built up a 6-0 lead thanks to Jordan Asselin’s strong pitching, only to see the Merchants battle back

in the bottom of the second inning to make it 6-5.

The Gems added another run in the fourth inning and broke it open with a two-out, seven-run rally in the top of the fifth, including a two-run homer by Spencer Hoffman.

Cory Hinz finished the pitching duties for the Gems, allowing the Merchants two more runs, but striking out the final batter to preserve the seven-run, game-shortening margin of

victory.

The Gems were slated to play the Conquest Junior Coyotes in the late game at Bob Van Impe Stadium on Tuesday, May 10, but that matchup was rained out.

The Gems’ next scheduled league game is Wednesday, May 18 at Gordie Howe Park against the Saskatoon AGI Masters.

Full league schedules and scores are available daily on the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association website.

Sask Rush award honours to top players The Saskatchewan Rush recently announced their Team Awards for the 2016 National Lacrosse League season.

Media that report on the Rush as well as the team’s front office and coaching staffs were asked to cast their votes for the Most Valuable Player, Top Defenceman, and Top Transition Player awards. For the team first time in franchise history, the Unsung Hero Award was determined in online voting by the Rush fans.

The award winners are: The Dakota Dunes Most

Valuable Player Award goes to Mark Matthews. Matthews led the Rush and finished sixth in league scoring with 109 points during the regular season. A First Team AllPro and Champion’s Cup MVP last year, Matthews is unquestionably one of the NLL’s most dominant offensive stars as he reached the 40-goal and 100-point plateaus for the second straight season, and broke his own club record for assists in a single season with 69.

“Mark has an immense level of talent and he just continues to get better,” said Rush GM/head coach Derek

Keenan.

The Wheaton GM Top Defenceman Award goes to team captain Chris Corbeil.

The seven-year pro from Oakville, Ontario, finished second amongst all NLL defencemen with 20 points, and was tied for second in both goals and assists. Corbeil, who played in all 18 regular season games, also finished amongst the league leaders in shorthanded goals, forced turnovers, and loose ball pickups.

“We are fortunate to have an elite group of defencemen on our team, and Chris is certainly one of the very

best in the entire league,” noted Keenan.

The SaskTel Transition Player of the Year award goes to Jeremy Thompson.

Thompson is the winner of this award for the second year in a row coming on the heels of a tremendous season for the former second round pick. Thompson set career highs with 20 points and 13 assists, and broke his own franchise record with 279 faceoff wins.

Thompson was also the resounding choice in fan voting for TD Unsung Hero Award, and for the third year in a row, he was also

was named recipient of the Dream Community Service Award . “Jeremy defines dedication and passion when it comes to lacrosse, and he tirelessly shares that spirit during his countless school visits and other endeavors in the community,” said Andrea Haughian, Vice President, Marketing and Partnerships for the Rush.

The Coors Light Rookie of the Year Award goes to Dan Taylor. Taylor was the Rush’s second round pick (15 th overall) in the 2015 NLL Entry Draft, making him the highest-ever selection out of the Alberta Ju-

nior League.

Although he appeared in only eight regular season games, Taylor made the most of those opportunities as he notched 23 points including 18 assists.

“We have a very tough lineup to crack, but when Dan was given an opportunity to step up, he certainly came through and performed very well,” said Keenan.

Valkyries’ Carly Dyck handled kicking duties and also returned kicks during the game against Edmonton WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Valkyries aim for the top

By WAYNE SH IELS essenceofsask@gmail.com For the first time in franchise history, the Saskatoon Valkyries are entering a season NOT as the defending WWCFL champions.

They lost a hearbreaker to their provincial rivals, the Regina Riot in a very close Prairie Conference final in the fall of 2015.

But if they don’t have the league crown, they do have extra motivation and determination.

The Valkyries served notice they’re ready to return to the top of WWCFL with two recent victories. First they defeated the Edmonton Storm 30-17 in an exhibition game at SMF Field on Saturday, April 30. Then the Valkyries travelled to Manitoba for their regular season opener to play the Winnipeg Wolfpack on Sunday, May 8 and came away with a convincing 51-0 win.

In that game the Valkyries were led by rushing TDs

by Sam Matheson (3) and Julene Friesen. QB Reed Thorstad hit receivers Stacy Boldt and Carly Dyck for TDs. Dyck also contributed with her great kicking ability on converts and field goals.. The defence came up big with multiple sacks and forced fumbles.

The Valkyries take on another Manitoba team when they host the Fearless in their home opener at 1 p.m. on Sunday, May 15 at SMF Field.

Honduras school inspires mother of two to follow her dreams

By HILARY KLASSEN hilarylklassen@ccgazette.ca In Cofradia, Honduras, children who are fortunate attend the Cofradia Bilingual School. Bilingualism can provide a major leg up to those who can truly use some advantages in life.

Pam Hutchings wants to help. Hutchings grew up in Dalmeny, attended Saskatoon Business College, and later worked as a CPIC Operator at the Saskatoon Police Service.

“I lived in Martensville, got married, had two beautiful kids, got divorced, moved to Warman, then Saskatoon and have been living and working as a

school.

“Simply learning a second language provides the children with a major life advantage and the chance to better their futures, and later, with a platform to make a positive impact on their communities,” said Hutchings.

She says most of the children attending the school can’t afford the tuition and the majority of them rely on sponsorships. The school is taught by local Honduran teachers in Spanish for half the day, and by volunteers from around the globe in English for the other half.

“I am thrilled to be giving 10 months of our lives

units for their home, as well as flights, insurance, visas and other necessary travel expenses. Any money raised above and beyond meeting their basic needs will be given directly to the school to use at their discretion.

The Hutchings welcome your support in their Honduras venture or to sponsor children to attend the school. For more information, visit Hutching’s ‘Go Fund Me’ page at https:// www.gofundme.com/volunteercofradia.

Recently, Hutching’s sense of adventure came calling.

She currently runs a daycare in Saskatoon but has been inspired to live her dreams now instead of waiting until some elusive ‘ideal’ moment in the future.

Hutchings plans to leave for Cofradia in August where she will teach Grade 1 at the bilingual school in a 10-month volunteer position.

She and her children will be renting a small house or apartment there and the kids will attend the same

Immersing ourselves in a new culture, embracing a new way of living with limited material possessions, developing new language skills and creating lasting memories are just a few of the positive experiences we will have as a family,” she said.

Hutchings is currently raising money for the cost of living while they are in Honduras. This will include rent, food and water, school supplies for teaching, mattresses and plastic shelving

“

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca A play about life in the 30s and life in a Saskatchewan mental hospital took top honours at the Provincial Drama Festival May 5, 6 and 7.

The Hanley High School production of ‘Dust’ had already lined up a series of awards at regionals in Rosetown, and was up against a dozen other regional contenders.

“Winning ‘Best Overall Production’ at provincials was an amazing feeling,” said playwright and co-director, Leanne Griffin.

“This is the eleventh time I have competed at the Provincial level and I have won twice. “It is always a thrill, but just as thrilling was the response from the

“Powerful, thrilling, extraordinary, meticulous, beautiful, vivid reality, ‘an amazing display of talent’ and ‘an outstanding story’.”

how much the play affected them. Words like powerful, thrilling, extraordinary, meticulous, beautiful, vivid reality, ‘an amazing

display of talent’ and ‘an outstanding story,’ were among the tributes they received. The adjudicator thanked them for the production, saying it was a thrill to watch.

Griffin gave kudos to their amazing tech team who worked hard backstage to create a seamless production.

“Many audience members and the adjudicators commented on how the lighting created a marvelous underwater effect. The live sound effects and singing onstage also enhanced the mood of the play.”

Co-director Brandon Hutchinson and Griffin worked many hours with the actors to help them create back-stories and add depth to their characters.

This enhanced actors’ ability to be real and natural, and convey genuine emotions in relationships and in response to events.

“To me the stories of the Great Depression and of the Weyburn Mental Asylum are rich and haunting parts of our past that

it was an honour to bring to life,” said Griffin. She wrote the play and capably transformed her research on these topics into a compelling production.

‘Dust” collected a number of awards once again, a testament to how well the elements of success came to-

Music Monday

Singing was heard in the hallways of Warman Elementary School on Monday, May 2 as students and staff joined in a school-wide sing-a-long as part of their participation in the National Music Monday event in association with the Coalition for Music Education. This day is held the first Monday of every May with the focus to promote music in schools and is celebrated all across Canada and sometimes even in space as Canadian astronaut Chris Hatfield particiated in 2013 when he was the commander on the International Space Station.

On the importance of music, Hatfield was quoted at the time, “ Music opens doors and music stimulates the brain... Its a wonderful, applicable skill that only makes you a more capable human being. The school was taught the song “Born to Make Music” by Arts Ed teachers Miss Lloyd and Mrs. Wolfe. Music is an important part of the Arts Ed program at Warman Elementary School. “Music is a powerful source for the students. It is about making music and having fun,” Wolfe said.

Eric Newby (left) played a guitar solo, “Hitching a Ride,” at Warman Elementary School Fine Arts Night on April 27.

Students showcased talents like piano, guitar, dancing, musical theatre and monologues.

Province acts to stop aquatic invasive species

To help keep the province’s waterbodies free of zebra and quagga mussels, the Government of Saskatchewan is proclaiming May 8 to 14 Aquatic Invasive Species Awareness Week to emphasize the need for diligence when it comes to this critical issue.

“While monitoring done to date has not found zebra and quagga mussels in the province, we continue to work to increase awareness on this issue,” Environment Minister Herb Cox said. “Our government’s focus in 2016 and beyond will include increased watercraft inspections, de-

contaminating high-risk watercraft found entering the province and additional education and awareness efforts to help protect our fish populations and aquatic habitats.”

The provincial government is undertaking several initiatives to prevent invasive species from entering the province. This includes conducting roadside watercraft inspections and check-stops with a focus on the Manitoba and U.S. borders, as well as high-risk water bodies such as those that host organized watercraft events.

In addition, the minis-

try’s mobile decontamination units will be used in cases where invasive species are discovered on watercraft. The province supports several other initiatives that raise awareness about aquatic invasive species and the importance of prevention through the CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY Your Boat awareness program.

Saskatchewan is also partnering with the Canadian Border Services Agency to assist with preventing contaminated boats from entering this province from the United States.

The government is also reminding people to nev-

er release aquatic plants or pets into the wild or dump aquarium water into rivers, streams, lakes or storm sewers.

Invasive mussels and other species can be impossible to eliminate if they become established in a waterbody, and have the potential to severely impact aquatic habitats, fisheries, valuable recreational resources and water-related infrastructure. Mussels can clog water intake structures and increase costs significantly for irrigation, power generation and municipal water supply.

Saskatoon region housing starts up in April Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 2,496 units in April compared to 2,290 in March, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of total housing starts.

“The trend in total housing starts moved up in April after local builders in-

creased production of multiunit dwellings. Despite this increase, weak economic conditions and elevated inventory of new housing units will continue to be a constraining factor on the pace of housing starts in 2016,” said Goodson Mwale, CMHC’s Senior Market Analyst for Saskatchewan.

CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly es-

timates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR was 2,807 units in April, up from 1,596 in March. The increase in overall actual housing starts in April was led entirely by the multiples sector where 177 units were started, compared to 19 in the same month one year prior.

and Protection Act and that’s a $580 fine if a person does it. If it’s a corporation the fine is $1400. After public works has cleaned it up we’ll ask for restitution for the cost of the cleanup as well.” But fines do not begin to cover the cost of investigation and clean-up of dumping sites.

Harwood says covering loads headed for disposal is also a requirement, according to the RM’s tarping bylaw. A call from a ratepayer alerted her to the fact that a lot of people taking their loads down Highway 219 do not have their loads covered.

“Their garbage is strewn all over the ditches. They need to make sure they’ve

got their loads tarped because we will be looking for that and we will be fining people.

Harwood said police investigation established that the 18 bags were dumped by a Saskatoon resident. Garnet said people like to drive out of the city down the 8th St extension and make their deposits. Others find the landfill closed or don’t like the rates and leave trash behind in that area.

When it comes to yard waste like leaves or tree tranches, most people in the RM have enough space to take it out back and do a control burn. City residents have a couple of good compost sites on each side of the city for this purpose.

Martensville marks fifty years since village status

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The year 1966 was a milestone year for Martensville.

“That was the year that the community was incorporated as a village,” said Terri Hetterly, a volunteer with the Martensville Historical Centre (MHS) “It was a big deal because before that Martensville was basically an unorganized hamlet under the jurisdiction of the RM of Warman.

“Becoming a village meant the community elected their own municipal government to guide its growth and development.”

Hetterly and fellow MHS volunteer Stephanie Webb are currently delving through written records at Martensville City Hall, digging up as much factual information as they can on the years between 1966 and 1969, when Martensville achieved town status. (The community achieved city status in 2009.)

“We’re also looking for people to provide us with information on the town for those years, so that we can organize a big celebration in 2019 to mark the 50th anniversary of Martensville becoming a town,” said Hetterly. “That gives us all some time to plan it out, and becoming a town is really a very significant milestone

in Martensville’s history.”

She said they are looking for photographs, including family photos that show buildings in the background or streets that provide a record of the physical layout of the community at that time. They’re also hoping that written documents from businesses and community organizations can be uncovered.

There may be hidden treasures in someone’s attic or basement that have been stored away for years, she noted. “We would like to include them in our historical record before the folks who were around then pass on.”

Residents can contact the MHC office at 306-955-3611 or by e-mail at mhistoricalc@sasktel.net . The office is located in the Martensville Civic Centre and is open Wednesday afternoons or by appointment.

Hetterly said the first mayor of the Village of Martensville was Harry Baycroft, after whom Baycroft Drive was named.

“He was a visionary,” she said. “His goal was to bring some orderly development to the community. The other council members at that time were Peter Fehr and Gordon Unrau.”

She noted that until the community was incorporated as a village in 1966,

“there were no restrictions regarding the types of housing allowed, or where they were placed” on the large lots.

“Many substandard houses had been moved in from Saskatoon and neighbouring communities. During Baycroft’s years in office, bylaws and housing regulations were introduced and enforced and subdivisions were developed.

“About 27 houses were removed and 47 building permits were issued while the village grew to a population of over 1,000, with over half the residents under the age of 18. What had been considered a distant suburb of Saskatoon now became a bedroom community.”

Baycroft owned and operated a business called Baycroft Family Fare and Shell service station for several years. It was situated on the cement slab that is presently to the south of the Adobe Inn. Baycroft moved to New Zealand in the 1980s.

venture heights school drama

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Venture Heights School (VHS) students Kalyn Jungman and Emerson Bloomquist engage in a dialogue during a scene from “Stand by You,” a play put on by the VHS Grade 3 Drama/ Glee Club last week. The play, written by VHS teacher Cari Issitt, deals with the sensitive topic of peer pressure among students. The school’s first-ever spring performance was staged several times for students as well as parents and the general public last week.

Rex inducted into Purina Hall of Fame Continued from page 3 come too, and were treated to some sights like Ripley’s Aquarium, Toronto Island and the CN tower.

Hawman said the induction ceremony was quite moving as they heard stories of the heroics of the other inductees.

The Hawmans are currently living in Vonda in a house that was offered

to them by the mayor in the days after the fire. But they are rebuilding on their same property.

“We’re counting down the days until we can move in!

We’re in a lot smaller space than what we were used to, with three kids and pets.

Our developer said he’ll have our house finished in mid-September,” Hawman said.

Rex will probably be happy to be home again. Even

if the house he knew isn’t there, the yard will feel like a bit of home.

“Rex is a just an amazing dog all around,” said Hawman.

The family rescued Rex from a shelter when he was eight months and said he’s been great with the kids and Santana from day one.

“If somebody is sick, he’ll stay by that person. If they’re sad, he’s there. He’s an amazing pooch.”

Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance shines at competitions The Ukrainian Dancing on the Border Festival was not only a beautiful display of talent, it was a massive celebration of Ukrainian culture. The Vic Juba Community Theatre in Lloydminster drew dance groups from around the province for the 11th annual competition, April 29, 30 and May 1.

Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance attended the competition and fared quite well. This was their second time attending the event. The Ukrainian Dancing on the Border Festival is known as a higher level of competition, with many Edmonton based Ukrainian clubs frequenting each year.
