Last stretch of twinning to Delisle begins By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca It was a case of delayed gratification for Delisle. But the town is finally getting a double lane highway to its doors. Delisle residents checked out the lay of the land at an open house held by the Ministry of Highways (MHI) on April 19. Phase 3 will begin shortly, says Steve Shaheen with the ministry. Phase 1 encompassed the stretch from Saskatoon to Vanscoy, Phase 2 goes around Vanscoy and Phase 3 is from Vanscoy to Delisle. Functional planning for Phase 2 is still being finalized, Shaheen added. “Grading is beginning this year. They’ll be doing some culvert installations within the next of couple weeks and they’ll get to work with the grading which they anticipate will be done by October,” Shaheen said. Surfacing work will commence in 2018. Some equipment is already on site. Grading is projected to cost around $9.5 million. This leg of the project was slated to begin last year. But it was a non-starter with the ministry. Now, the stars have aligned to move things forward. “They’re going to start moving dirt

within a couple weeks, so that’s exciting!” said Delisle mayor, Dave Anderchek. “After last year and not starting, it was pretty disappointing. As a mayor it was really disappointing.” This is the first open house the Ministry has done in the community. “Everybody gets a chance to see what’s actually happening with the twinning of the highway and the new service road and the new entrance to Delisle,” Anderchek said. The new entrance to Delisle is about 1.5 km east of town. “We’ve been working at this with highways for a few years now - to change the entrance to Delisle - and its all based on safety,” he said. The town owns all of that land. The hope down the road is to attract businesses to that strip of service road. The road needs to be widened and drainage needs to be addressed. For the section of Highway 7 that runs from Delisle to Rosetown, the Ministry has a combination of twinning and passing lanes. The Ministry encourages motorists to watch for workers and obey the speed limits that are posted as well as the signage.

City and RM on opposite sides of proposed Spadina Crescent closure By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Concern is ramping up about a proposed closure of Spadina Crescent West by the City of Saskatoon (COS). The RM of Corman Park invited Randy Donauer, chair of the COS Transportation Committee, to bring an update and hear their concerns at their recent council meeting. The closure is proposed to address safety concerns. “Public Safety Canada completed a Critical Infrastructure Resiliency Analysis (CIRA) of our water treatment plant,” Donauer said. “They have safety concerns

for our public supply and services for between 40 and 50 per cent of the province, and they want it addressed.” For many residents from the Valley Road area, Spadina Crescent is their main and preferred route into the city and to downtown. About 30 attended the meeting. The topic has come up before, most recently at a RM Division 4 meeting at the Merrill Hills School. “This proposed closure affects everybody behind me here and myself personally,” said Division 4 councilor, Randy Rooke. It also affects many others who have enjoy-

ing the scenic route for upwards of 60 to 70 years. “Spadina is an expeditious and beautiful route into the city. It’s the closest, most viable route.” The proposal suggests closing Spadina from the just south of Circle Drive South up to where the first residential houses start. Donauer said the report and proposal will be presented to Saskatoon city council at a public hearing on May 23. The report itself was received by COS administration in camera and Donauer said he was not allowed to go into the details. In addition to closing roads and

city avenues like Avenue H and I, tweaking 11th Street and constructing an extension to 17th Street in a bid to redirect traffic, the proposal recommends erecting a 10-foot fence around the entire water treatment plant. The fence would be gated and a guard would be in attendance. Rooke was doubtful that a guard at a 10-foot fence would be very effective. “The difficulty I have is how is that going to stop anybody? And why would they stop at the water treatment plant? A lot more damage could be done at the SaskPower plant.” It also doesn’t address concerns of an aerial ap-

proach. Rooke said it was hard to take the CIRA report at face value without having access to it. “One of the biggest problems I have is, yes you have a report by Public Safety Canada that can’t be given out to anybody. So we have to take your word that they want this addressed.” An added difficulty was getting any sense of the potential level of threat being identified. The proposed new traffic routes include what the Transportation Committee calls “short-hopping” CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Waiting begins for second seed cleaning plant appeal results By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Concerns about a seed cleaning plant to be built in an acreage community north of Martensville have not diminished for area residents. They’re now in a waiting game once again after presenting their case at a second appeal on April 20. The group was very surprised when the RM of Corman Park council approved the plant in July 2016 by a narrow 5 to 4 vote. When a district appeal of the decision failed, the group filed a second appeal at a higher level with a provincial body, the Saskatchewan Municipal Board (SMB). That appeal was heard in a meeting room at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in Stonebridge. Area landowner, Philip Stefan spoke on behalf of the group, along with Barry Wruck. Stefan felt the process went well. “It was well organized and orderly. The board that received our presentation was balanced, at least in their initial feedback, in how they responded to both the appellants as well as the RM.” In the interests of clarity and brevity, the group concentrated their presentation in four areas: inadequate notice of council meetings and public hearings, poor processes and governance by the RM, lack of clarity in RM bylaws and incomplete information. Many residents from the 67 acreages within a onemile radius of the proposed

site are concerned about noise, odour, dust and traffic safety, as well as loss of property value and loss of quality of life. Stefan said there were a lot of late-night community meetings of the neighbours to strategize and keep the momentum going. He credited Kathy Wruck for being the “chief cheerleader” who made sure everyone stayed motivated, since the process has been ongoing for about a year. “It’s been a long process. When we had the first appeal, those guys had their minds made up. Nobody was listening to us,” said Wruck. She wants to feel hopeful after the second appeal, but is afraid to. “I feel that Phil did a remarkable job. I was happy with the way it was presented. I felt the appeal board asked the right questions.” According to RM bylaws, the application, made by Jonathan and Teddy Dear, allows council to apply discretion in their decision. The response of affected landowners is to be factored into such discretion. Residents spoke their minds but felt that discretion was never applied. It’s been a learning opportunity for the group, determining what each appeals board considers and therefore what sort of case to make. Stefan says they got more organized with each appeal. A large part of the group’s case had to do with RM of Corman Park procedures,

especially with regard to providing notice about the relevant council meetings. Stefan said landowners found the mail-out form seeking their input confusing. Other questions arose about the RM’s notification procedures and how they allegedly affected the council decision and everything that followed. One of three panel members from SMB did some concentrated questioning of some RM bylaws and procedures. One of the things this revealed is that “public hearing” can mean two different things in the RM, a fact that had relevance to the group’s process, presentation and potential outcome. “This process demonstrates there’s some challenges within how council operates, how council meetings are run, how our bylaws are constructed and how important our municipal RM government is,” Stefan said. Most people pay the least attention to this level of government, he said. They’re more focused on federal or international politics. “But this is probably the government that impacts us the most in general. “A key lesson from this for myself and for other individuals in the RM is, when you get those notices, pay attention, and when you go to council be prepared because things happen that you don’t think could happen and once they do its really hard to change those,”

Stefan said. It’s the venue or forum where your objectives are most achievable. Once you get to appeals boards, it’s a much more labour intensive and nuanced process, he added. Adam Tittemore said the RM’s position is that they believe proper procedures were followed all through the process, they followed their bylaws and they do not believe there is any basis for overturning the decision. Stefan sees it differently. “Corman Park bylaws lack sufficient clarity and robust definitions to guide unbiased, consistent decision-making in the context of seed cleaning plants,” he told the panel. Stefan said other peer RM’s in the province have addressed seed cleaning plants with greater clarity. “These peer RMs recognize that seed cleaning operations such as this do not fit in the middle of acreage communities and have ensured they are specifically addressed in bylaws as a means to ensure consistent decision-making and appropriately manage the expectations of both landowners and developers.” The SMB has 60 days give or take, to render a decision. “I’m hopeful for everybody’s sake that lives here, the people that have fought hard for this,” Wruck said. “I hope - and I’m saying my prayers - that the panel sees this and that this is overturned and we’re back on the table again.”

Proposed Spadina closure presents problems Continued from page 3

through residential areas, which Rooke says should be avoided. From a traffic engineering standpoint, Donauer said everything seems to flow and work more logically for the residents south of the city to use Valley Road. “Valley Road is a better, bigger and

more accommodating road. As we’re looking towards the future in planning we would see that as a logical improvement, except for the aesthetic beauty of Spadina.” Rooke made the point that Raymond Moriyama of the Meewasin Valley Authority articulated a vision for a

route to Valley Road, which goes right along Spadina Crescent. “It’s a beautiful, meandering road that goes along the river and to our valley. It’s a beautiful valley. And you say now everybody now has to go by the landfill,” said Rooke. Traffic volumes were dis-

cussed briefly but the city and the RM likely have different perspectives on that. What is considered high volume by the RM can seem under-utilized to the city. Donauer encouraged councilors to share alternative options and suggestions and he would take them to city council.

Families receive keys to new homes By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca A couple of families are proud home owners with some assistance from the Prince Albert Habitat for Humanity Duck Lake Chapter. Wesley and Natasha Kequahtooway, along with their son Quinton, and Shannon Okemaysim and her daughters Mekwanis and Mahekanis received keys to their homes during a presentation on Friday, April 21. The Kequahtooway’s have been in their home since late February and Shannon and her daughters are pretty close to moving into their new house. The completion of those two homes brings it to a total of five houses since the Homes for Humanity began building houses in Duke Lake in 2013. Shannon is super grateful to have a home to call her own and it being in Duck Lake is really important to her. She works at Willow Cree Health on the Beardy’s and Okemasis First Nation reserve and has family that lives close to the community. “I was commuting from Saskatoon and we did that everyday for two years. It was very hard on the girls, and we decided we had to move closer (to Beardy’s) and Habitat was actually probably the best thing that happen to my family,” Okemaysim said. Okemaysim said when she

Shannon Okemaysim, along with her girls Mekwanis and Mahekanis, and Natasha and Wesley Kequahtooey recently received keys to their new homes first sent in her application to the Habitat for Humanity Duck Lake Chapter’s selection committee, she didn’t think she would actually be in the running of getting a new home, “It’s a great fit for me because I have family all around me. I got a brother down the street, and I got a sister down the street. I also grew up in Duck Lake, I graduated in Duck Lake and now my children will be going to school here in Duck

Lake, so it’s actually amazing,” Okemaysim said. She said she has been renting homes for about 20 years, and the main reason for wanting to become a home owner is because of her two girls. Okemaysim is a single mother and when her son was growing up, he is now 24, she was able to get by while renting, but it wasn’t until later in her life she even considered buying a home. “I never really thought of

owning a home until I had my daughters and being and older parent my goal was trying to get them a home to grow old in,” she said. Also owning a home in small community is important to her as she doesn’t have to worry as much when her children are outside compared to the city. “I now feel very secure that they can play outside, ride their bikes,” Okemaysim said. Okemaysim is glad to be

moving into her new home as the construction of the house began in June 2016 Wesley Kequahtooway and his family are also very excited to be living in their home. “It’s a real nice house and my wife loves it so we’re pretty happy with it,” he said. Kequahtooway’s home was a renovation project. Habitat for Humanity Duck Lake Chapter partnered with the Prairie Spirit School Division. Students from Stobart Community School in Duck Lake, along with a journeyman carpenter, did some deconstruction and construction on the duplex. That project got under way in September of 2015 and it was a long wait for Kequahtooway and his family, but he said it was worth the wait. “We have our own secure home, so we’re pretty happy about that. My boy likes it, he has his own room now,” Kequahtooway said. Before the family moved into their new home, Kequahtooway said they were living at his wife’s parents place on the Beardy’s and Okemasis First Nation Reserve, and he was glad to move into a house that is close to family. “It’s close to her (his wife) home so we’re pretty happy about that,” Kequahtooway said. “We’re still trying to settle in having to unpack most of our stuff, other than that, we love it. Prince Albert Habitat for

Humanity Duck Lake Chapter chairperson Bonnie Guigon is always excited to see the families receive those keys and finally move into their new home. “I have to say, selfishly, that is the best part for me. You give them the letter and they are so emotional that they are going to have a home and when you give them the keys it’s the same kind of emotion,” Guigon said. “They have worked for something and have been given the opportunity to have something that many of them did not think they would ever be able to have. And so that’s huge, as a volunteer you don’t get paid but that’s paying for me, seeing them get the keys (to the house).” To apply for a house within the Habitat for Humanity organization, the potential home owners have to give their financial background, and have to agree to a credit check. They also have to have a young family, and exhibit a need for a home as well as meet other criteria. Once they’ve passed the application process then a family is chosen. Guigon said it’s really important that the selection committee is thorough as it’s not fair to a family if they chose them and they’re not ready to buy a home. It was a long wait for both families as they found out they were getting a new house in 2015.

Restoring library funding right thing to do

COMMENTARY

It was a scant eight years ago that the province helped roll out the “One Province, One Library Card” system. Then, with this year’s budget, they slashed the program at the knees. On Monday, the province announced it will restore library funding at last year’s levels. That’s good news for many. In a newscast, Education Minister Don Morgan said they were wrong and they should have consulted more. It seems clear the Saskatchewan government did not anticipate the level of pushback the cuts generated. Citizens were vocal in the press, on social media, at libraries, in MLA’s offices, and a petition to save the libraries received over 14,000 signatures. The sharing system known as the Saskatchewan Information & Library Services (SILS) Consortium, is a prized innovation and a valued service among library users. That system will be restored. It allows any resident with a card to access materials from over 300 public libraries. Librarians tell us when the consortium was launched in 2009 the project was considered groundbreaking. It was new and innovative and not being done anywhere else. Technology was developed to facilitate the integrative system. Program developers and proponents were consulted and sought after, traveling to the U.S. and elsewhere to talk about it. As of April 10, that system came to a halt. Cardholders could no longer place holds for library items outside their region and delivery of material around the province was no longer supported. Ending a successful, progressive program such as this seemed irresponsible to people both inside and outside the system. When a program is held up as a ‘poster child,’ seen as a model for countless others and invested in heavily by the province ($5.2 million), there are good reasons for it. There were other problems with the government’s reasoning on budget cuts to libraries. Nobody talks about how many libraries the province has until money is an issue. If there is an over-abundance of libraries in the province, as Morgan suggested, some would say it’s hard to see that as a weakness. Critics had a point when they criticized Morgan for promoting digital systems over bricks and mortar. The provincial library system has built strong digital content over the last number of years. Just over a year ago, the Wheatland Regional Library brought in Hoopla digital (like Netflix plus) content, which is popular across North America. Libraries themselves provide valuable programming and serve as community gathering places. Other justifications of the cuts referred to library usage numbers. However those numbers can be deceptive. Morgan had reported that the number of library cards has dropped by 175,000 since 2007. But in a “one province, one library card” system, fewer library cards are a natural consequence and not a negative indicator. The government plans to review libraries, find efficiencies and develop a long-range strategy, but this time with the help of libraries, municipalities and the public. If they’re going to look at ‘co-location’ of libraries in small communities where there’s a public library and one or two school libraries, they’ll need to look at security issues if there’s public access. The Warman Community Middle School is cited as a good example of a school sharing a library with the community, but most schools have libraries buried in the building making co-location and security a challenge. Another consideration is that public libraries have adult content that school libraries should not have. In addition, some confusion was created by reports that the “Inter-Library Loan” (ILL) system had ended. The ILL system allows borrowers to access material from other provinces across Canada, and sometimes beyond. That system had remained in place. It’s the sharing of material outside individual regions within the province that was terminated. With their commitment to understand what the issues are at a more local level, the province now has a larger, more complex task ahead of them, than simply changing a number on a budget line.

Sask ferry crossings a link to bygone era It’s the end of April. Squadrons of Canada Geese wing their way northward; early buds shyly poke out in poplar bluffs along the riverbanks. But it’s not officially spring until the Clarkboro Ferry is launched. The big day was last week; Wednesday, April 19, to be exact. A critical link along Township Road 390 (Grid 784), the ferry cuts the distance between Warman and Aberdeen by more than half. It’s also a lot shorter commute to Saskatoon’s north end for people who live in Aberdeen. In the summer it’s great. But in winter, not so much. There’s an old saying that if you live on the Warman side of the river, you need six feet of ice before it’s safe; but if you live on the Aberdeen side, you only need six inches. Driving across the frozen river may be a time-honoured tradition, but there’s also an undeniable element of risk. In these days of blind reliance on GPS, common sense sometimes gets

I went across on that ferry the operator confided that almost all that traffic coincided with the Back to Batoche celebration and St. Laurent Shrine pilgrimages in July. The biggest ferry in the fleet is the Riverhurst Ferry, which is about as close as you come to in Saskatchewan to a real ship. It has lifeboats and portholes and separate decks and can carry as many as 15 cars at a time. It takes about 30 minutes to cross Lake Diefenbaker. Over the course of a season, it will transport about 30,000 vehicles. The Riverhurst Ferry was designed by John Brandlemayr, a Vancouver-based naval architect who grew up in Saskatoon. The Riverhurst Ferry went into service shortly after the Gardiner Dam was completed in 1967, resulting in the creation of Lake Diefenbaker. Saskatchewan’s ferries offer a great excuse to experience the beauty of the river firsthand. Or, if you live in Aberdeen, a faster, shorter way to get to work.

Reader Opinions

Sask. was actually better off before the boom Over the years, Health Sciences Association of Saskatchewan (HSAS) has drawn attention to the chronic understaffing of specialized health care professionals. Saskatchewan’s economic boom did not end understaffing. Access to needed health care services provided by a variety of specialized health care professionals did not improve. Annually, we commission surveys of the public and consistently they report understaffed services that cannot provide the care that they need, when they need it. The recent provincial budget will cause further deterioration in services. The province wide Parent Mentoring Program (PMP) which targeted families at risk, was eliminated. PMP evolved over the past 20 years. Mentors shared parenting and lifestyle skills aimed at reducing risks to children. Research has shown that every

$1.00 spent on early childhood health and development can save up to $9.00 in future health, social and justice services. The Government claimed that cutting the program would save $1.4 million. The human cost of their decision is not measurable. The provincial budget also axed the Hearing Aid Plan (HAP), which existed for over 40 years. The nine audiologists employed by HAP provided services to all ages and were located in Saskatoon, Regina, Yorkton and Moose Jaw. Saskatchewan already had the lowest number of audiologists per capita. In comparison, Manitoba has 64 audiologists, 34 of those employed in publicly funded positions. Saskatchewan could now be reduced to three audiologists in publicly funded positions. Saskatchewan newborns are at a disadvantage because of no province wide Early Hearing Detection

and Intervention (EHDI) program. Early identification and intervention by six months of age has shown 20% to 40% better performance on school – related language measures than children identified later. A newborn hearing-screening test costs about $35.00; a small investment in a child’s future. No province wide EHDI program is shortsighted and lacks common sense. Adults with hearing loss also struggle. 47% of Canadians between the ages of 15

and 64 with a hearing limitation report being unemployed. Elimination of HAP does not improve access to hearing aids, which could assist in gaining employment. Residents of this province are the past, the present and the future. Our Government has a responsibility to make thoughtful decisions, not the recent knee jerk, shot gun approach to service cuts. Without prudent decisions, our society will pay dearly. Karen Wasylenko HSAS President

Dear Residents: The purpose of our newsletter is to provide all residents in Warman & area with information as to what is happening in business, sport and our community. We believe it is important that as a learning and highly-involved community, we share this information with everyone. Please feel free to call Jennifer (306-933-2210) if you have suggestions or information for our newsletter.

Hello from Mayor and Council,

“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.”..... H. Jackson Brown

This year we celebrate Canada’s 150th Birthday. In the spirit of this big celebration, a large number of Warman residents, and students of all ages, painted squares that were put together to produce our own Canada 150 Mural. Each square provides an important component to this mural. I guarantee every time you look at the Mural you will find another unique item in the large creation. It is now displayed at the Legends Centre on the second floor for everyone to enjoy. Have a look at this beautiful piece of Warman the next time you are by the Legends Centre. April 27th, Warman celebrates Volunteers in our community. At our annual Volunteer supper, we will be honoring this year’s Volunteer of the Year, Youth Volunteer of the Year and the Volunteer Group of the year. Below is a small glimpse of the recipient’s contributions to the City of Warman. Volunteer of the Year - Marshall Seed Marshall is a very committed and passionate man who volunteers his time to many groups in the City of Warman. Neighborhood Watch, Crystal Brook Community Association, Traditions Elementary School Playground Fundraising Committee and coaching his kids ball team, these are just a few groups that have had the keen leadership of Marshall. Youth Volunteer of the Year - Andrew Forsberg Andrew is a student at the University of Saskatchewan. From a very early age, Andrew has always been involved in his community. Andrew is a young gentleman with a busy schedule but manages to take the time out of his busy adult life to volunteer. Andrew is an active volunteer with WERT (Warman Emergency Response Team) and is active in his church, St. John’s Lutheran Church. He has taken on the role of Youth Leader with St. John’s Lutheran Church and is a positive role model. Andrew is a young adult who is wise beyond his young years and a definite asset to the City of Warman. Volunteer of the Group - WERT (Warman Emergency Response Team) Emergency Measures Coordinator, Randy Meginbir, has been instrumental in the implementing of the WERT team in Warman. WERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations. With extensive volunteer training, this dedicated group of volunteers is in the process of building their skills in order to protect and serve their community or other communities at risk during emergencies. It is quoted, “Volunteers don’t necessarily have the time, they have the heart.” These words could not be truer words written when looking at the 2017 Volunteer recipients. The City of

Warman thanks them for the community service, passion and dedication to the community we “Call Home”. Respectfully submitted, Mayor Sheryl Spence Environmental Health Services and Public Health and Welfare Committee The Environmental Health Services and Public Health and Welfare Committee would like the residents of Warman to mark their calendars for the Spring Clean Up which begins on May 8th. We have recently added something new to our Spring Clean Up as we are partnering with BN Metals for this event. BN Metals will be going through the alleys ahead of Public Works staff to pick up scrap metals and appliances. Another important date is the Hazardous Waste Day which is being held on October 14th, 2017. Please review your Spring Clean Up schedule and the Hazardous Waste Day brochure to obtain information regarding the schedule and the materials which are accepted. If you have not received a brochure, please go to the City of Warman website or stop by City Hall. There is a 6 month Pilot Program being offered by the City of Warman and Loraas for Compost Collection. Starting June 1st, 2017 for $10 a month, by subscription, you can get your organics collected by Loraas. This will mean you will not have to use the bins located by the railroad tracks. Please call City Hall to have your name added to the list of participants in the Compost Collection program. Our Committee is also working with health care providers regarding initiatives for our community. There is a great deal of buzz and excitement in Warman regarding a NP Clinic in Warman. They continue to work on their business plan for the NP Clinic. Our new population figures from the 2016 census creates an attraction for health care to be more stable here in our City. There are ongoing discussions with options to see some positive results for long-term health care for the City of Warman. Lastly, our Environmental Master Plan is in the review process. Our City Manager has only been here a month and will need to review the plan. With the Provincial Budget taking time to work through, we should be able to get back to its implementation phase shortly. We are always looking for more ways to be an environmental conscious community. If you have any other suggestions please contact Councillor Kendall Shram for Environmental Health and Welfare at kendalls@warman.ca. Respectfully submitted, Councillor Kendall Shram Environmental Health Services & Public Health & Welfare Committee Lead Finance and Governance Committee 2017 is a Property Revaluation Year: The provincial government mandates SAMA,

our assessment agency, to conduct periodic revaluations of all Saskatchewan properties every four years to coincide with the change to a new base date. The current revaluation was completed in 2017 using the 2015 base date. As a home owner, you would have received a Notice of Assessment indicating your assessed value. The Tax Roll is open for 60 days during a revaluation year and closes May 11, 2017. Once the Tax Roll closes, Warman City Council will be discussing and setting the mill rate to accomplish the projects approved in the 2017 budget and fund overall city operations. Current projections show an overall average of a 1.58% expected increase in municipal taxation. 5 year Capital Plan: City Council recently adopted a 5 year Capital Plan covering the years 2017-2021.

Playhouse raffle raises funds for Martensville, Warman KidSport By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca It’s all about the kids. A two-storey, custom-built playhouse, the grand prize in a KidSport fundraising raffle that kicks off this week, was unveiled in Warman on Monday, April 24. This is the second year for the project, which raises much-needed funds for the Martensville and Warman KidSport committees. KidSport provides funding for less-fortunate families to enable children to participate in organized sports like hockey, figure skating, softball, baseball and soccer. The month of May has been designated KidSport Month. All funds raised locally through this raffle are distributed to families within the two communities. The playhouse was built over the fall and winter months by Warman High School shop teacher Terry Martin with help from students at the school. Last year, a similar playhouse was built by students at Martensville High School. Building materials, moving expenses and publicity donations were made by several

local businesses, while Martensville and District Lions Club members are selling raffle tickets. At the unveiling of the KidSport playhouse on Monday, April 24, Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said KidSport funding is helping many families that otherwise wouldn’t be able to participate in organized sports. “Last year, we had 48 families that applied to the local KidSport Committee here in Warman and received funding,” said Spence. “A total of $21,000 was distributed. “But the need is far more than that,” she added. “And it’s likely to keep increasing, so this fundraising project is very important. This is a valued program in our community, and we’re thankful to all those who contributed.” Martensville Deputy Mayor Tyson Chillog said last year the Martensville KidSport Committee assisted 36 kids with financial support to the tune of over $10,000. “This year’s goal is $15,000,” said Chillog. “We encourage businesses to get involved with KidSport Month by hosting fundraisers like barbecues, ‘dress-

down’ days, sales of KidSport cutouts, and donating a portion of sales to KidSport.” Angela Reddekopp, Martensville KidSport Coordinator, said it takes the support of many businesses and individuals to make the project a success. “This event doesn’t just happen by itself,” said Reddekopp. “A lot of local, community-minded partners are involved.” KidSport Saskatchewan Coordinator Carolyn Ganes said this playhouse raffle project is a model for the rest of the province and the country. “We have over 40 KidSport committees across the province,” said Ganes. “The need is rising, so it’s important that communities come together and take ownership of local fundraisers. “Martensville and Warman are clearly the leaders in the province,” she added. “This is a unique project and we would love to see this type of thing happening in more communities. “I’ve been showing other committees the newspaper articles on this project

and encouraging them to do something similar. “Even from a national perspective, KidSport Canada has never seen anything as big as this anywhere else in

the country. It brings everyone together for such a great cause. It’s really inspiring to see.” Raffle tickets are available from Martensville and Dis-

trict Lions Club members, as well as the Warman Super Valu and Martensville A&W. The draw for the playhouse will be made in late June.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Construction of two new interchanges near Warman and Martensville is progressing well, according to the Minister of Highways and Infrastructure. At a news conference at one of the construction sites at the intersection of Highway 11 and 305, David Marit said the new overpasses, slated to be completed by

the fall of 2019, represent a huge improvement in safety for the two communities. “Warman and Martensville are Saskatchewan’s fastest growing communities, and we believe the improved safety and efficiency the new overpasses provide will help this region continue to grow and thrive in the future,” said Marit. The $60.6 million project includes an interchange

at Highway 305 and Highway 11 near Warman, and an overpass at the intersection of Highway 12 and Main Street in Martensville. Marit gave credit to Martensville-Warman MLA Nancy Heppner for her years of advocacy on the project, and noted that the provincial government is committed to investing in infrastructure. Construction work on the

interchanges commenced several weeks ago, and is on schedule, according to Marit. Marit said the overpass on Highway 11 will provide a safe route in an out of Warman via Highway 305. The upgrade will also facilitate future expansion of the road network in the area. He noted the new overpass at Martensville will disperse traffic along Main

Street and Centennial Drive, helping alleviate congestion at key intersections and providing access to current and future developments in the city. Mayors and councillors from Martensville, Warman, Osler and the RM of Corman Park were at the news conference. Officials of Peter Kiewit Sons, the contractor responsible for overall construction of the over-

passes, were also there. Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said she’s happy to see the machinery working and the project taking shape. “It’s been a long time coming,” Spence said. “It will make a huge difference for travellers in this area in terms of safety and will help improve access in and out of

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Warman Neighbourhood Watch (WNW) group is hoping to shed some light on property crime. More lights along one street on Warman’s western edge in particular would certainly help, according to WNW co-founder Mark Stiglitz. “There have been several recent instances of thefts from garages and vehicles on Golden Willow, Maple and Redwood Crescents,” said Stiglitz at a WNW membership meeting on Thursday, April 20. “When I went to the neighbourhood and talked to the residents, every single one said the problem is the easy access the thieves have to Range Road 3051 through the alleyways into the neighbourhood. “It’s pitch black on that road and in the alleys, there’s not a single light. That makes it easy for these deadbeats to steal something and then run through the alley and jump into a waiting vehicle and get away.” Trevor Peterson, a Warman City Councillor, said he shares the group’s

concerns, but noted that Range Road 3051 is not a cut-and-dried situation. “The west ditch of that road is actually in the RM of Corman Park jurisdiction,” said Peterson. “The city owns the road itself and is responsible for maintaining it. I agree that lighting is a great idea. But if street lights are put in now, they may all have to be redone at a later date when that road is eventually paved. It takes some planning.” The WNW group has recommended increased RCMP patrols in the area to discourage would-be thieves, but the biggest deterrent would be for residents to ensure their vehicles, garages and doors are locked. Marshall Seed, who cofounded the WNW group with Stiglitz three years ago, said a few simple proactive steps can make a big difference. “One of the initiatives we want to push this year is a ‘Get to know your neighbour’ program,” said Seed. “Warman is built like most typical cities, with crescents and cul-de-sacs and so on. If people can get to know their neighbours on

both sides and also the folks across the alleys, so that if anything is suspicious, it can be reported to police. “It’s not about being nosy. All that’s needed is a first name and a phone number and address,” he added. “If your neighbour’s house was on fire, you need to know the address so the fire department can locate it as quickly as possible.” Seed said the WNW’s mandate is simply to assist the police by providing information to aid in investigations. “It’s not about taking the law into your own hands,” he said. “That’s absolutely not what we’re about.” The WNW is distributing cards to residents that can be placed in vehicle windows to not only discourage thefts, but also to remind drivers to lock their doors and not leave valuables in sight to tempt would-be thieves. An RCMP Constable at the meeting fielded questions from WNW members about response times and the type of calls that should be directed to the police. The constable stated that all emergencies should be reported to 911 dispatch.

Lions Foundation Dog Guide program improves quality of life for many Canadians By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca For hundreds of Canadians with disabilities, getting a Dog Guide has been a lifechanging experience. That’s certainly the case for the Zwack family of Warman. Last fall, seven-year old Olivia Zwack, who has been diagnosed with autism, welcomed a four-footed friend into her home. Ivan, a 20-month-old poodle, is a specially-trained Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guide who is tethered to Olivia and accompanies her to

classes at Warman Elementary School. Ivan’s job is to support, nurture, calm and guide Olivia through her day. It’s a challenging task given her unpredictable behaviour and inability to communicate verbally, but Ivan takes it all in stride. Ivan is a graduate of the Lions Foundation of Canada’s dog guide training facility in Breslau, Ontario. The largest school of its kind in Canada, the facility trains dogs to assist Canadians who have physical or mental disabilities. Since it began in 1985 as a program to help visually-impaired people,

the Lions Foundation of Canada’s Dog Guide program has expanded to include Hearing Ear, Service, Seizure Response, Autism Assistance, and newly introduced, Diabetic Alert Dog Guides. Olivia’s parents, Jeff and Sheri, applied for the Lions Foundation Dog Guide program last year and were accepted. But there was a huge expense involved in going through the process, and that’s where the Martensville and District Lions Club stepped in to help cover a large portion of those expenses through sponsorship.

The club is hoping to sponsor another local family this year, said Doug Ward, a Martensville Lions Club member and organizer of the club’s annual Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides. Ward said the annual walk, slated for Sunday, May 28 at Martensville’s Kinsmen Park, is one of the major fundraisers undertaken by the organization during the year. “Last year we raised $7,600 toward sponsoring a local family,” said Ward. “This year our goal is $10,000. The way things are going already, I’m very optimistic we’ll be

able to achieve that.” Ward said it costs an average of about $25,000 to sponsor a dog guide for a family. Both the local Lions Club and the Zwack family are fully committed to the program. “It’s wonderful to see that life-changing dog with that family,” said Ward. “It’s totally changed their lives for the better.” Ward said Ivan is well-known at Warman Elementary School, and his presence alone is an education for young students. They understand he’s not simply a pet; that he’s a “working dog” who has a job to do.

“Olivia is way more comfortable at school now that she has Ivan with her, and the teachers really appreciate the new situation,” said Ward. Ward is encouraging people to participate in the May 28 walk in Martensville, whether they have a dog or not. “It’s open to everyone,” said Ward. “It’s a great opportunity to walk with your friends, family and co-workers. It’s pet-friendly but you don’t’ need a dog to participate.” He said participants can register online at www.walkfordogguides.com.

Local wrestlers gain experience at national tournament By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca Warman High School Grade 10 students Drake Buechler and Natasha Wiebe competed against top notch wrestlers at the Cadet/Juvenile Canadian Wrestling Championships in Windsor, Ontario on April 7 to 9. Buechler earned bronze in the men’s 46-kilogram category and Wiebe competed in the women’s 43-kilogram division, as she finished in fourth, out of five competitors. Since there were only five wrestlers in Wiebe’s weight category, it was a round robin format. Her first two matches of the tournament didn’t go to well, but she was able to come out on top in her third bout. “I did a leg attack but the girl hit her head really hard, so I won by default. She got injured (and couldn’t compete anymore),” Wiebe said. Even though that was Wiebe’s only victory in freestyle wrestling, she to learned from the wrestlers she competed against. What she took away from her matches is, at the start of the match she needs to be in attack mode right away to gain that upper hand. “I need to go way faster at the beginning (of the match) and not wait to see if they have any mistakes because they don’t,” she said. In the category that Buechler competed in there were 16 athletes entered and it was a bracket format. He advanced to the semifinal of the A-side but lost that match and went to the B-side of the bracket. Buechler fought his way to the B-side final and won that match, claiming the bronze medal. Overall, he said he won five matches in the tournament. Earning a spot on the podium surprised him as he didn’t know what to really expect going into the event.

“Honestly it did (surprise me),” Buechler said. “It was kind of hard to gauge how well you’d do against everyone else in the country. And ... (competing against) all of the different wrestlers from all of the different places, it was just great to see where I stand amongst everyone else in the country. It was exciting.” Placing third earned him an opportunity to qualify for a national team and represent Canada. “It’s world team and so they would travel ... and represent Canada in all of these different countries,” Buechler said. How those national team trials worked was, three cadet wrestlers and two juvenile athletes competed in a round-robin tournament, with the top two earning a spot on the national team. Each weight category had it’s own trials for wrestlers to qualify for that team. Buechler fell just short as he finished that tournament in third place. After Buechler and Wiebe were finished wrestling in the freestyle tournament, they both competed in the Greco-Roman wrestling event. Buechler earned gold and Wiebe won silver in their respective weight class. Wiebe said she was glad that she performed well as she was a disappointed with her results in the freestyle event. The tournament was a round-robin format and the difference from freestyle wrestling is it’s only upper body contact and the wrestlers cannot attack the legs of their opponent. Buechler said that most clubs don’t practice this style of wrestling, however a coach with the wrestling club he represented has experience in that style . “We had a Greco-Roman wrestling-only practice and I think that set us ahead of

everyone else in the tournament because no one really practices greco (wrestling),” he said. “No one knew what they were doing, so that was just kind of fun to get a little bit of extra matches.” This was the first time that Buechler and Wiebe have wrestled at a national tournament. Both youth had success at the provincial level as they recently claimed gold at the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association Provincial Wrestling Tournament in March. Buechler has been wrestling for four years and this is Wiebe’s second year competing in the sport but it’s both athlete’s first year wrestling with the Junior Huskies Wrestling Club out of Saskatoon. They attended that national tournament with the club and wrestling with the organization will help them become a better at the sport. “They say it’s one of the best teams in the country. And now after going to nationals, I can see why because we have a ton of great wrestlers,” Buechler said. Wiebe benefits from the club as during practices she wrestles with youth in a higher weight class, which helps her prepare for the top competition in her own weight class at wrestling tournaments. “I’m the lowest (weight class) in the club so I have to wrestle with higher groups,” she said. Since joining the club in February both Wiebe and Buechler agreed that there’s a lot that goes into the training, especially when they were still competing with their high school team. “It’s a lot more (work) compared to last year just because of the club, but I like it,” Wiebe said. Both athlete’s main challenge was sticking to a diet as Wiebe even had to wrestle in a lower weight class than she did with the high

Natasha Wiebe tries to gain the upper hand while competing at the Cadet/ Juvenile Canadian Wrestling Championships in Windsor, Ontario school team. “This is kind of the first year I had to actually watch my weight quite a bit. But my coaches ... helped me so much during that whole process of the weight cut and just trying to watch what I’m doing all the time,” Buechler said. Wrestling with the club is a big commitment because during the high school wrestling season they were attending those practices along with the club wrestling practices. There are more youth in the club and experienced coaches they can learn from. “It’s great coaching, it’s indepth training and it’s really great. It’s just helped my game so much more,” Buechler said Both athletes’ next goal is to qualify for the Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg from July 28 to August

13. Buechler said the trials for that event are in May and the top competitors in their respective weight class advance to the Canada Sum-

mer Games. Both are fully committed to the sport as it is something they want to pursue in years to come.

Since 2012, STARS has carried out more than 4,000 missions to more than 500 locations across the province, and today Health Minister Jim Reiter, Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit and Crown Investments Corporation Minister Joe Hargrave joined staff and patients to mark this occasion and to announce the renewal of funding from the Ministry of Health, SaskPower, SGI, SaskTel, SaskEnergy and Crown Investments Corporation. “The provincial government is a proud partner of STARS and recognizes the significant role it plays in providing life-saving care for the people of Saskatchewan,” Reiter said. “I am pleased to confirm today that the Ministry of Health will provide $10.5 million in funding in 2017-18.” “The geography of Saskatchewan is part of what makes us who we are, but

it comes with its own set of challenges,” Ottenbreit said. “STARS ensures that people facing traumatic injury in a rural or remote location have access to emergency health care.” “Our Crowns are proud to support the important service that STARS provides to this province,” Hargrave said. “Crown employees work in all corners of our province and it is important for them to know that if they ever needed emergency services, STARS will be there for them.” Through the renewed funding agreements with the five Crowns, STARS will receive $10 million, or $2 million per Crown, over the next five years. With bases in Regina and Saskatoon, STARS operates 24 hours per day, seven days per week providing emergency air medical services to patients across the province, especially those in rural and remote communities. “We are proud to have become an integral part of Saskatchewan’s health care system in the last five

years, working alongside our local partners in the chain of survival,” STARS president and CEO Andrea Robertson said. “When seconds count, STARS is honoured to give those in need a second chance.” The first patient to meet the STARS crew who saved her life was Carrie Derin, a Regina resident who required STARS’ services when she was hit by a falling tree in 2012. Another STARS patient is Adair O’Grady. The Neilburg area farmer was inadvertently run over by a truck and sustained multiple critical injuries. “In the back of the STARS helicopter, I wondered if I would survive,” O’Grady said. “But my flight paramedic and nurse gave me hope and encouragement to fight for my life.” Since 2012, four helipads have been built at or near hospitals throughout the province to accommodate STARS. The new Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan will include the first permanent helipad in Saskatoon.

Cold water: a little respect can save your life If you accidentally fall into cold water, a little knowledge and preparation can make the difference between life and death. Lifesaving Society statistics indicate that approximately 40% of those who drown each year do so in water less than 20 degrees Celsius. Typically these are males between the ages of 20 and 59. The surprising thing is that, in such cases, many people drown long before becoming hypothermic. On Wednesday, April 26, the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC), with support from Canadian Coast Guard, demonstrated both how our bodies react to cold water immersion as well as how dressing for the water temperature instead of the air can drastically prolong our lives and increase our chances of being rescued. A group of volunteers dressed in varying degrees of thermal protection from street clothing to a full survival suit jumped into the water off the docks at the Canadian Coast Guard base, 50 Discovery Drive in Dartmouth at 10:00 a.m. (Atlantic Daylight Time). Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht (“Professor Popsicle”), world-renowned Professor of Thermophysiology at the University of Manitoba, put the volunteers through chilling experiments, to demonstrate the effects of cold water immersion. Debunking many of the myths and misconceptions around hypothermia, Dr. Giesbrecht illustrated the 1/10/1 principle developed through many years of extensive research. This principle illustrates that, even in the coldest of conditions, after experiencing an initial cold shock, we have approximately one minute of hyperventilation after which our breathing returns to normal, 10 minutes of meaningful movement to affect self rescue and, with proper flotation, approximately one hour before becoming cold enough to lose consciousness due to hypothermia. Even after that, we have up to three hours before cardiac arrest. While the volunteers spent approximately 15 minutes in the frigid water, it was long enough to demonstrate the effectiveness of different types of thermal protective wear in preserving core

temperature and significantly delaying the onset of hypothermia. After completion of the

formal demonstration, members of the media were invited to don any of the thermal protective wear available

and go into the water to assess firsthand the effectiveness of the thermal protective wear.

and Martensville interchange project provides the company’s Saskatchewan employees with an opportunity to contribute to the growth and prosperity of their home province. Andrew Schumacher, Project Manager for the two overpasses, said the bulk of the construction this year

will not affect traffic on Highway 11. The project involves construction of a new section of divided highway east of the present highway, as well as a new access road connecting Highway 305 to Ferry Road. The interchanges project is funded by the federal and provincial governments.

Opposition to P4G voiced at Corman Park Area realtor says City of Saskatoon in conflict of interest with P4G By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca RM of Corman Park councillors took in a double serving of anti Partnership for Growth sentiment at their Tuesday council meeting. Over 30 people were packed into the gallery for a couple of presentations. Margaret (Maggie) Robertson appealed to the RM council not to approve the P4G plan. Robertson clarified that while she is a Corman Park representative on the District Planning Commission, she was not speaking on their behalf, but rather expressing her own opinions drawn from her experience as a commercial realtor specializing in land development. “I feel very strongly that Corman Park cannot approve the P4G at this time,” said Robertson. She summa-

rized comments from a letter which had already presented to 02 Planning + Design, the planners for the P4G project, and to the District Planning Commission. The RM agenda item summarized the concern that Saskatoon Land Branch has purchased prime real estate within the RM that sits vacant and remains unavailable to current developers. “Land located in Corman Park (CP) should not be annexed, purchased by the Saskatoon Land Bank or identified as future urban growth unless it can be clearly shown that it is needed for the expansion of the City of Saskatoon (COS) and not for inventory for the Land Monopoly called the Saskatoon Land Bank,” Robertson said. She says the COS is in a conflict of interest because it enjoys equal voting rights with Corman Park, even though all the proposed developments in the Planning District are on land within Corman Park. What is currently unknown is, at what

Government restores library funding at 2016 levels The Government of Saskatchewan announced on Monday that it will be restoring funding for Saskatchewan libraries back to the 2016-17 funding levels to ensure that regional and municipal libraries and the interlibrary loan services remain operational. The announcement will provide $4.8 million in addition to the $3.5 million that was announced on budget day, March 22. “Premier Wall has always said that we would be the kind of government that would admit its mistakes and then fix those mistakes,” Education Minister Don Morgan said. “There were many necessary, difficult decisions taken in this budget, however the reductions in library funding without giving libraries the tools to meet the new challenge was a mistake. So today I am announcing restoration of library funding as well as a consultative review with the Saskatchewan libraries and municipalities to determine the way forward in terms of what is best for library users and communities as well as what is also financially

responsible.” Funding for the Pahkisimon Nuye?áh library system in Northern Saskatchewan remains consistent with last year’s funding level at $974,000. “The decision by Minister Morgan and Premier Wall to restore funding will ensure the continuation of the best provincial library system in Canada,” Regina Public Library Board Chair Sean Quinlan said. “Today’s announcement will positively affect generations of Saskatchewan residents today and into the future. The Regina Public Library will work with government to ensure our library system is sustainable.” The government will be engaging with libraries, municipalities and the public to develop a long-term strategy for the future of libraries. This will include reviewing The Public Libraries Act to ensure libraries have modern legislation that reflects current needs. This will also involve working with libraries to find efficiencies, including options for transportation and co-location, to ensure the most effective use of available resources.

ADVERTISING THAT WON’T BREAK THE BANK... 306.668.0575

point the ‘needs’ of the COS are satisfied and the ‘wants’ of the Saskatoon Land Bank begin, Robertson says. Wanda Dansereau, who represents some RM residents west of the city, has been circulating a petition to oppose the P4G. The petition has garnered 83 signatures from about 65 households. “We want to have ourselves removed from the P4G,” she told council. Dansereau has tried to arrange a meeting with the Regional Oversight Committee (ROC) to discuss the group’s concerns to no avail. All ROC meetings have been held in camera. The latest draft of the P4G land use map has added a Green Network Study Area. It’s this recent addition that these residents have found particularly limiting. The future imagined by the P4G is not a match with the future this group imagines. “We will be the last area to be studied, maybe in 100 years,” Dansereau said. “But right now we’re living there. We want to be severed from stipulations on our land, so land owners may develop their own future.” The P4G plan is not set in stone; it has some flexibility built into it. The process is to be completed this spring, at which a governance team will assume leadership.

MARTENSVILLE-WARMAN CONSTITUENCY

Economy continuEs to REbound There are many areas of Saskatchewan’s already diverse economy that are strong and getting stronger. For example, new numbers show manufacturing sales in Saskatchewan are up nearly 23% over last year. Building permits are up 10%, housing starts are up 50%, and Saskatchewan’s population continues to grow at a pace our province hasn’t seen in 90 years. Saskatchewan had Canada’s best job creation record in February, followed by another strong month in March. Our retail sales and new vehicle sales growth is second-best in the country with our capital investment growth third best in all of Canada. The oil industry is even showing signs of recovery. New well drilling doubled in the first quarter of this year compared with last year. As we work to meet the challenge of persistently low commodity prices, our economy is growing stronger. You can learn more about our three-year plan to balance the budget, maintain the Saskatchewan Advantage and keep our economy strong at saskatchewan.ca/budget. canadian FREE tRadE agREEmEnt Will bEnEFit saskatchEWan Saskatchewan has long championed a Canadian market that is open and transparent and which allows our businesses to compete fairly and freely across the country. The new Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) is going to level the playing field for Saskatchewan. The agreement replaces the existing Agreement on Internal Trade, which has been in place since 1995. The new agreement establishes free trade rules that apply across the Canadian economy, unlike the old agreement which covered only 11 sectors of the economy. Taking effect July 1st, the new CFTA will greatly reduce barriers to trade, investment and worker mobility, benefiting businesses, workers and consumers by expanding procurement opportunities in other parts of the country and by ensuring labour mobility for our workers. While there is still some more work to do in areas like alcoholic beverages and financial services, we have reached a balanced agreement that serves us well by cutting red tape and barriers to trade. The result will be more opportunities for Saskatchewan’s economy to diversify and grow. impRoving saFEty FoR toW tRuck dRivERs Our government has also introduced and passed legislation improving safety for tow truck operators. The Traffic Safety (Tow Trucks) Amendment Act, 2017 allows for blue lights to be used in conjunction with amber lights on tow trucks. Passed with unanimous support the day it was introduced, the legislation comes after tow truck operator Courtney Schaefer was killed in a March 7, 2017 collision along the roadside in the Gerald area during blizzard conditions. Saskatchewan is the first jurisdiction in Canada to introduce a two-colour lighting combination for tow trucks. The addition of blue lights isn’t mandatory but adding them will increase visibility, heighten awareness and increase safety. Tow truck operators will be able to install blue lights once the bill receives royal assent and is proclaimed later this spring. SGI will be undertaking public awareness efforts to educate the public about blue lights on tow trucks. It’s the law to slow to 60 km/h when passing tow trucks and any emergency vehicles on the highway when flashing lights are engaged.

Martensville anticipates steady growth By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca After a decade of unprecedented expansion that made it one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, Martensville is catching its collective breath. “We’re still experiencing growth, but it’s a steady, conservative, healthy kind of pace of growth,” said Martensville Economic Development Officer Dillon Shewchuk. “We’re not going to see the numbers we had ten years ago. That set expectations fairly high, and what we’re seeing now is probably the new normal for us.” Shewchuk said while the provincial economy is experiencing a dip, the Saskatoon region in general and Martensville in particular is doing quite well. “Last year was a very good year in terms of residential construction in Martensville,” said Shewchuk. “Especially with regard to single-family housing. The numbers for the first quarter came out recently and they were ahead of last year’s total. “But the big story is our record year for construction of multi-family units last year.” Shewchuk said not only were more condominium units built in the city, there was also a significant number of rental apartments that came onto the market. “Chateau Villa was one of the big projects that took

shape last year, and that is aimed at a certain demographic, namely seniors looking for independent living,” said Shewchuk. “We also saw the Baydo Developments project, which has about 80 units which are all pure rental, apartment-style units. “That’s something unique to the community. It’s never been done here before.” Shewchuk said most of the growth in new residential housing is in the Lake Vista area, and he expects that to continue this year. “The new school will be a catalyst for growth,” said Shewchuk. “It’s something that will really make this new neighbourhood attractive to a lot of people.” The city has plans to upgrade and pave Main Street between 10th Avenue and 16th Avenue. “That’s one of the infrastructure improvements that needs to happen in the near future,” said

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Martensville City Hall: the fast-growing community continues to attract new businesses and residents Shewchuk. “Council has earmarked funds for that project in this year’s capital budget. It’s important because it will improve transportation to the new school, and allow students to get bussed to the new school quickly without having to go through the whole Lake Vista neighbourhood.” Shewchuk said the slowdown in the provincial economy is actually working in the city’s favour on this project.

Small businesses driving growth “The timing is right,” he said. “Price-wise, I think we can get some real competitive bids now, in this climate.” Shewchuk said the city is always working to attract new businesses, and noted that they’ve had success with major corporations. But, he added, the stable growth these days is due primarily to small businesses. “What we’ve found is that there is a large amount of activity among smaller entrepreneurs,” he said. “A lot of people have good business ideas that are in the planning stages right now. They’re in the process of lining up financing and doing their market research. “We hope they’ll be able to realize their project in the near future by setting up

their businesses and employing people and providing those economic spin-offs for the community. “Small business is extremely important. Over 80 per cent of the businesses in this region are classified as small business. They’re the real driver of our local economy.” Shewchuk said the city is working to attract additional services, and is “always cognizant” that tax rates play a big role in business decisions. “No one likes paying taxes but the majority of business owners don’t mind paying their taxes as long as they are being treated fairly,” said Shewchuk. “And I think that’s where Martensville does well.

Martensville adopts sustainability plan The City of Martensville is releasing its Municipal Sustainability Plan 20172020 (MSP 2017-2020). The MSP helps administration build its operational plans on the identified priorities. The City of Martensville Municipal Sustainability Plan was initially created in 2014. Since then, Administration and Council have been updating and using the Plan to guide departmental plans and budgets so that the City can continue to deliver the programs and services residents need and want within available human and financial resources. This new Plan is built off that original work and sets some new priorities as the City grows toward 2020. This plan was started and developed in January 2017 through a facilitated session between Adminis-

tration and Council which included two new Council members that had been elected in the October municipal election. “This plan is a proactive approach to capitalizing on the strengths and positive things happening in Martensville. This plan also reflects the ideas and priorities of the new City Council,” said Kent Muench, Mayor of the City of Martensville. “As with the previous Plan, Council will work with Administration and monitor quarterly our progress on our priority areas and to evaluate outcomes.” The Plan is based on five pillars of sustainability – Governance, Culture, Social, Environment and Economy. These are fundamental areas the City believes will propel Martensville to the forefront

of municipal best practices and achieve sustainability. The Plan sets out goals for each pillar, and strategies to achieve them. It is dynamic and evolving so that new issues, challenges, trends and opportunities can be evaluated and integrated into Administration’s work plans. Some of the priority areas identified in the plan include putting in place regional water and wastewater agreements for the benefit of the community and putting in place those services for residents. This plan also places emphasis on increasing non-resi-

dential land inventory, the protection and facilitation of green spaces especially around the Opimihaw Creek, expansion of recreation facilities and ensuring proper level of policing. The MSP 2017-2020 is available on Martensville. ca (Planning for the Future). The City will be providing additional communications about the plan in the upcoming weeks including the Highlights Brochure, digital media and an Open House engagement. To view the Plan, visit Martensville.ca (Planning for the Future).

Taking shape:

It’s no surprise that Martensville’s newest neighbourhood is a vibrant, diverse community. But what may be a little unexpected is that it combines big city amenities with a small-town, welcoming atmosphere. “There are a lot of families with kids moving into the area, and because everybody is around the same age, we have a lot in common,” said Jessica Rideout, a resident of the area. “It’s nice to know so many neighbours. It’s very closeknit.” Lake Vista, situated in Martensville’s east sector, is a master-planned community marketed by North Ridge Land Division. They are currently selling lots to builders and individuals who wish to build their homes in Lake Vista. The 160-acre community can accommodate a variety of budgets with lots designed for single-family homes to multi-family homes and even walk-out lots backing the beautiful lakes. By the time it’s fully developed, Lake Vista will be home to an estimated 3,000 residents. Lake Vista is also the location of Martensville’s newest schools. Lake Vista Elementary School and Ecole Holy Mary Catholic School share a common building with a 90-space daycare facility in the centre. The schools are currently in the final stages of construction and are slated to open in September, 2017. North Ridge Land Division has recently released prime lots that are close to the school and are already seeing a lot of activity with families who wish to build their homes close to the school. As new homes sprout up along the well-planned streets, the overall impression you get when you drive through the neighbour-

Martensville’s newest community Lake Vista has something for everyone

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSINNG GAZETTE

Lake Vista is Martensville’s newest community, a master-planned neighbourhood by North Ridge Developments hood is that its foundation is firmly established, said Rideout, a sales professional with North Ridge who was so taken with the neghbourhood she now calls it home. “It’s really starting to look like a community now,” Rideout said. “The pathways are all completed and they’re lighted at night. It’s a very family-friendly, quiet neighbourhood.” Two fully-landscaped lakes are connected via paved walking paths. The paths are laid out so residents can access virtually all parts of the neighbourhood by walking or cycling. As a bonus, the paths will eventually connect with the rest of the city’s eight kilometers of paved trails via Kinsmen Park. While the physical neighbourhood is being shaped by

Lake Vista School and Ecole St. Mary Catholic School (background) are near pathways and parks in the Lake Vista neighbourhood

builders, residents who already call Lake Vista home are helping shape its friendly, caring character. “Everyone is surprised at how quickly things are progressing,” said Thabitha Andrade, another North Ridge sales professional who also lives in Lake Vista. “It’s really come a long way in a very short time. “It’s actually a beautiful gem, with so many parks and amenities close by. I’d encourage everyone to just take a drive out here and see for themselves.”

Birchmont townhomes an affordable option A first-time home buyer’s wish list might include: * an affordable brandnew home close to a school and park in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood, * a quick and easy commute to work, and * plenty of family-friendly recreational and cultural amenities. That wish list is a reality in Martensville, thanks to a unique residential development by North Ridge. Birchmont Townhomes on Codette Lane features attractively-designed twostorey, 1240 square-foot open-concept townhomes. The townhomes are “literally steps away” from the new joint-use school scheduled to open in

September, 2017, notes Thabitha Andrade, a sales consultant with North Ridge Developments. “The townhomes are priced in the mid-200s,” said Andrade. “It’s definitely an affordable option for first-time buyers.” The townhomes have a three-bedroom option and a two master-bedroom option, as well as three different interior colour selections and three kitchen designs to choose from. Appliances are included in the price of the home. The first five townhome units are currently framed and will be ready for fall possession, said Andrade. “One of the units will be a showhome that will be

open in mid-May. “The showhome will give people a great idea of what the homes will look like.” Jessica Rideout with North Ridge said the townhomes offer a golden opportunity for buyers to get into their first home. “It’s a kid-friendly, quiet neighbourhood where you can raise a family and put down roots,” said Rideout. “The unique selling point is that all these townhomes have their own landscaped front yard and rear backyard that is fenced in, as well as a concrete pad so owners have the option of adding a garage later on.” She said the townhomes are now pre-selling.

SUMA objects to provincial government’s attempt to stop municipalities’ challenge The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) is speaking out against Bill 64, An Act to amend The Power Corporation Act and The SaskEnergy Act. “Bill 64 strips 109 hometowns of payments in lieu they are legally entitled to, and gives the provincial government the power to redirect these royalties to the general revenue fund,” said SUMA Vice-President of Cities, Bob Maloney at a news conference in Regina on Monday, April 24. “Even worse, the bill strips hometowns of their legal right to defend those agreements before the courts or be compensated for their loss.” Responding to comments last week from Government Relations Minister Donna Harpauer, SUMA Vice-President of Towns Rodger Hayward said “She asks if it’s reasonable for two orders of government to spend money to fight it out in court. We ask if it’s reasonable to pass legislation that denies local governments the ability to defend legal agreements — or be compensated for this loss of revenue.” These agreements covered capital investments and they included a guarantee that the municipality would forever get royalties on future sales of power.

“With a single bill, the provincial government is essentially ripping up contracts between 109 hometowns and SaskPower, stripping us of royalties they are legally entitled to — in perpetuity — and denying their legal right to defend themselves before a court of law,” said Hayward. “That clears the path for the province to take these royalties without any plan to replace them. SUMA promotes, protects, and defends the interests of our members, but thanks to Bill 64, we’ve lost the chance to do that through legal action.” SUMA maintains that residents and businesses will not only continue to pay for the sequestered royalties as part of their power bills, but many of them will be asked to pay a second time through property tax and fee increases deemed necessary to fill the loss at the local level. When the provincial government says it’s unfair that only some communities receive these payments in lieu, it’s clear that they are forgetting their history. There are only 109 hometowns receiving these payments in lieu because they were the only ones who had invested in these utilities and sold them to SaskPower. SaskPower was created in

the 1940s to expand electrification to all areas of Saskatchewan, and they bought out these existing municipal power utilities to create a provincial grid. These purchase agreements covered capital investments and regional distribution rights, and they included a guarantee that SaskPower and any subsidiaries would pay royalties in perpetuity on future sales of power. Basically, because municipalities were giving up their own power company, the new company promised to pay them a little bit of the product they were going to sell. And these royalties were to be paid forever. “It’s not unfair that 109 hometowns received these payments; it’s unfair that the provincial government used the budget to take these revenues away from SUMA members to cover the provincial deficit.” said SUMA Vice-President of Villages, Resort Villages, and Northern Municipalities Mike Strachan. “This budget has directly stripped $33 million in funding to hometowns, and made cuts to all kinds of provincial programs, downloading their responsibilities onto hometowns with the expectation that we will somehow pick CONTINUED ON PAGE B12

up the slack.” The towns of Gravelbourg and Gull Lake are just two who have been hit hard by the loss of these payments in lieu. “In Gravelbourg, we’re paying for all kinds of infrastructure from sewer systems to sidewalks,” Gravelbourg Mayor Dan Lamarre said. “Losing nearly $33,000 each and every year is a significant hit to our community and it means delaying projects, hiking taxes, or eliminating services.”

“Gull Lake has already spent $107,000 in this year on the clean up after a local hotel burned down, and we’re going to have to pay an estimated $130,000 by the end of 2017 to convert our town landfill to a transfer station,” Gull Lake Mayor Blake Campbell said. “Those costs alone could eat up all of our unallocated reserves. When the provincial government destroys our contract with SaskEnergy for payments in lieu, we’ll be losing $26,000 every year. That loss is big, especially when you consider that we have to spread it

across just 1,000 people.” Vice-President Hayward said that Saskatchewan hometowns are rightfully concerned about the precedent Bill 64 sets. “If this is what we are losing in 2017, what other agreements might end up null and void in 2018, or 2019? The provincial government made cuts in this budget that they don’t fully understand. Instead of taking the time to do meaningful consultation with hometowns before they drafted a budget, they are trying to revise history and change the rules with Bill 64.”

Ehrenburg Homes Lake Vista Development Ehrenburg Homes’ Lake Vista Estates townhome development in Martensville is a popular choice for home buyers. Construction of the project on Beaudry Crescent in Lake Vista began in late 2015 and units began selling in 2016. A selection of choice homes in the neighbourhood is currently available. As Martensville’s newest neighbourhood, Lake Vista has many appealing features, such as the lakes, the greenspace areas, the walking trails, the brand new joint-use Lake Vista school to be completed for September 2017, and the future commercial development. Lake Vista is a master-planned neighbourhood that is projected to add 1,100 residential units and increase Martensville’s population by 3,000 people. Ehrenburg’s Lake Vista Estates present some desirable options to a range of buyers, whether it’s the first time homeowner, the move-up buyers or those who are simply looking for an alternative to singlefamily living. The award-winning builder brings a deluxe finish package to the project, with granite counter tops, Kohler fixtures, custom cabinetry, upgraded laminate flooring, high efficiency furnaces and HRV units.

Townhomes come with rear decks and landscaping included. Many of Ehrenburg’s custom clients are also opting for high quality laminate flooring. These two-story townhomes are available with either two-bedroom or three-bedroom floor plans. Two bedrooms units have an ensuite bath with each bedroom and those bedrooms are slightly larger than the ones in the threebedroom units. Laundry facilities are conveniently located upstairs. The size of these townhomes ranges from 1035 to 1322 square feet. Units come with either a double garage, a single garage or a paved parking stall. The basement is open for future development and the devel-

opment is pet-friendly. Lake Vista Estates show suite is now open at 185 Beaudry Crescent in Lake Vista. Ehrenburg Homes, known as the “Castle Company,” was founded in 1983 by Joe Ehr, who has served as president of the Saskatoon Home Builders Association and president of the Saskatchewan Home Builders Association. The company has been building new homes and communities in and around Saskatoon for over 30 years. In 2016, Ehrenburg Homes received seven awards at the Saskatoon & Region annual Bridges Awards: the Professional Service Award, Best Design, and five Sales Excellence Awards.
