Local Dentist Has Rewarding Experience While Volunteering in Another Country Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Dr. Beshmi Kularatne of Centennial Dental Clinic in Martensville recently had an experience that she will remember for the rest of her life. Kularatne travelled to Guatemala to volunteer her time providing dentistry work for the local residents from June 28th to July 5th. This was not the first time that Kularatne travelled to another country to provide care that would otherwise be unavailable to the locals. While in her third year of dental school, Kularatne went to Tanzania through a non-profit organization to provide extractions, fillings and more. “It was very different from what we are used to here, especially when it comes to sterilization procedures. The protocols that are in place here, with what they do there are not even comparable. But it was a wonderful experience and everyone was extremely grateful for the help. I really enjoyed being able to do that, so it was something that I knew I wanted to do again,” Kularatne said. Kularatne decided to make the journey to Guatemala prior to her upcoming wedding, so she, along with 20 other dentists from around the world travelled to Antigua, where they would be housed for the duration of the trip. Each morning, the group would board a bus at approximately 7:30am and made a one hour bus ride to the community of Chimaltenango, where they would be providing extractions to the locals throughout the day. “On the first day, they weren’t sure what to expect because they had put flyers out, but when we got there, there was a line-up of over 250 people. We were there from 9am to 8pm and were all exhausted by the end of the day,” Kularatne explained. Each day, the group tended to approximately 200 people, providing extractions that ranged from minor issues to an abscess that would typically require a specialist to manage. Those that were waiting would go through triage and be ranked based on the severity of their case. “There were some people there that have been living with pain for more than 15 years and in some cases, we had to remove all of their teeth because the option is either an extraction or root canal, and they are unable to afford a root canal,” Kularatne added. Although the set-up wasn’t what we are typically used to here, Kularatne said that they did quite a good job bringing in proper equipment and that the sterilization procedures were far better than she expected. “It is definitely something that I want to do again, and I am already looking into other volunteer options in countries around the world. It won’t be for some time, but it never hurts to start researching now! Not only do we have an opportunity to help others, but we also get to experience another culture, which is incredible. Getting to see new places, meeting the people and seeing the gratitude on their faces is such a fulfilling experience.” Kularatne noted that she is extremely grateful for the support she received from everyone at Centennial Dental Clinic and that there was a wide variety of donated items provided for her to take with her such as toothbrushes, syringes, gauze, toys for the local youth and more. “I have been working here for four years now and I couldn’t be more thankful for the support that I had from everyone here. It really is amazing when you have the chance to work with so many people that are willing to step up and help in any way that they can.”

Building Stronger Communities Across Saskatchewan With the Federal Gas Tax Fund Doubling of the Federal Gas Tax Fund Delivers a Boost for Saskatchewan Communities Modern public infrastructure is key to promoting economic growth, strengthening the middle class and developing healthy, sustainable communities. That is why the Government of Canada is renewing its commitment to communities through the federal Gas Tax Fund and delivering much needed support for their local priorities. Saskatchewan has received the first of two $31.2 million installments of the federal Gas Tax Fund (GTF) for the 2019-20 fiscal year, along with a top-up of $61.9 million, made available through Budget 2019. This top-up doubles the amount of money for Saskatchewan communities, based on their allocations for 2018-19, enabling them to carry out infrastructure projects that support the well-being of their residents. “The Government of Canada is proud to deliver this stable, predictable long-term funding that communities rely on to develop their public infrastructure. By working with other orders of government, we are making significant progress and delivering concrete results for all Canadians. From improving roads, water services and energy efficiency, to enhancing recreation and tourism centres, the federal Gas Tax Fund is helping keep families safe, promote economic development and improve people’s quality of life across the country,” The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities said. The federal GTF is a long-term, indexed source of funding that supports a diverse range of local infrastructure
projects across the province each year. For example, the Village of Bracken is using their GTF funding to develop an asset management plan to assist council in making sound decisions about how to prioritize future infrastructure spending. Meanwhile, residents in the Town of Wynyard will be benefitting from a new arena sport complex that encourages the community to remain active in a variety of sports activities. And the City of Saskatoon is rehabilitating the Sid Buckwold Bridge and ramp structure to ensure the bridge remains safe, serviceable and structurally sound. Martensville will be receiving an extra $490,000 from the federal government under the Gas Tax Fund for infrastructure priorities like roads, wastewater and recreation. “The federal Gas Tax Fund provides Saskatchewan municipalities the opportunity to advance local infrastructure projects that best meet the needs of their citizens. The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to play a role in this program. By administering this federal funding, we help make our communities even better places to live, work and play,” The Honourable Lori Carr, Saskatchewan Minister of Government Relations stated. This predictable funding, enhanced by a doubling of the 2018-19 GTF allocations, as announced in Budget 2019, is allowing communities to plan for current and future infrastructure priorities, so they can build the resilient infrastructure of the 21st century that residents deserve, and help ensure that Saskatchewan remains among the best places in the world to live.
Quick Facts
• The federal Gas Tax Fund delivers over $2 billion every year to over 3,600 communities across the country. In recent years the funding has supported approximately 4,000 projects each year. • To help address the short-term infrastructure priorities of communities, Budget 2019 includes a top-up of $2.2 billion to the federal Gas Tax Fund. • The federal Gas Tax Fund is flexible in allowing communities to apply funding to their most pressing local needs. Communities can invest across 18 different project categories, including capacity building, sport infrastructure and roads. They can also use the funds immediately for priority projects, bank them for later use, pool the dollars with other communities for shared infrastructure projects, or use them to finance major infrastructure expenditures. • Through its Investing in Canada plan, the Government of Canada is investing more than $180 billion over 12 years in public transit projects, green infrastructure, social infrastructure, trade and transportation routes, and Canada’s rural and northern communities. • The plan includes more than $92 billion for funding such as the Gas Tax Fund and more than $95 billion in new funding for infrastructure programs. • To date, more than 48,000 projects have been approved under the plan and the majority of these projects are either underway, or already completed.
Success Tastes Sweet Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Kim Fehr has had a love of baking since she was a child. Following the completion of high school, Fehr went on to complete her training at NAIT in Edmonton and from there had numerous ABOVE: Kim Fehr opportunities working as a baker, cake designer/decorator, pastry chef & department supervisor. “My true passion has always been cake designer/decorator,” Fehr said.

Fehr began her journey as an entrepreneur in 2016 and has made several changes to her business model throughout that time. “I have done workshops for adults and children, birthday and special occasion cakes and I plan to do pop-up workshops from time to time, but my primary focus is now on wedding cakes and cupcakes,” Fehr explained. Providing the perfect cake/cupcake option for wedding days typically begins with a bride contacting Fehr with details including a wedding date and a basic idea. Next step is booking a consultation and a tasting of Fehr’s own ‘from scratch’ recipes and popular buttercream icing, which is where all of the final details and design are discussed. Once complete, Fehr delivers and sets up each of the cakes. “Part of my job that I absolutely love is meeting and connecting with people.

80 Year Old Martensville Resident Inspiring Others to Get More Active Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
An 80 year old Martensville resident has spent many years working on selfimprovement; however, little did she know, her journey was creating inspiration throughout the community. Other than a few short breaks along the way, Irene Dusener has been going to Curves in Martensville regularly since 2002. Despite the weather conditions, the 80 year old gets up each morning and walks to do her morning work-out. This dedication earned her the title of being the first customer to complete 4000 workouts. “Irene walks every day, wind, rain or snow. I have seen her walking before and stopped to offer her a ride and she always says no because it is part of her routine. She is one of the most dedicated individuals that I have ever met and she has become an inspiration to many of us at Curves,” owner/operator of Martensville Curves, Wendy Staples said. Staples noted that Irene has never let her age stop her from participating in the workouts. “She gets right in there with the 6am group, and some of those ladies are pretty fit. Irene is right along with them doing push-ups and jumping jacks and all of the things that people don’t typically do in their 80’s.” Dusener does her workout regularly, but on top of that she also goes for multiple walks a day whether it be for groceries, to pick up the mail, through the Kinsmen Park walking paths or to mow her lawn. “Going to Curves gets me out of the house and moving in the morning. It starts my day off with lots of energy and there are some days I have more energy then I know what to do with. I can’t imagine starting my days without it,” Irene explained. Earlier this year, Irene was diagnosed with cancer but the diagnosis has not slowed her down. Seeing her out and about, you would never think she was facing a terminal illness. Following her initial treatment, Irene was unsure if she would be able to continue

with her regular routine, but the doctors gave her the go ahead and she has been maintaining her workouts. “They told me that cancer cells eat muscle cells, so I am making more muscle cells and it will take them a lot longer.” Not only has Irene inspired other women at Curves, but complete strangers have stopped her on the street to tell her how she motivated them to get up and moving more. “I was walking one day and a lady came by and stopped me. She told me that she had seen me walking for years and that she thought if I could get up every day and be active, then she could do it too. It felt really good to hear that,” Irene said. When asked what kind of advice she would give to other people of all ages that need a little motivation to get more active, Irene simply stated, “Just do it and you will feel so much better afterwards. Every day I do what I can do, and although I might not be here next year, that’s ok. It is just about enjoying your life.” ABOVE: Irene Dusener completed 4000 workouts at Curves.

The City of Martensville is celebrating two huge milestones this year and thanks to the hard work of the Martensville Historical Centre, local residents will have a chance to take part in the celebration. A ‘Party in the Park’ will be taking place on Saturday, September 7th from 1pm-5pm in Kinsmen Park. This event will give those attending a chance to step back in time and take part in activities, music, memories and more from 1969 and 2009, the years that Martensville became a town and a city. This celebration is something that the Martensville Historical Centre would like to see everyone from the community take part in. “We are planning it, but we would love to see other people from the community get involved. We want this to be a community event and have schools, businesses and service groups participate. When are we going to have two milestone years like this again, so we want to celebrate it and what better way to celebrate than to get everyone involved and being a part of it,” Martensville Historical Centre representative Terri Hetterly said. The September 7th celebration will highlight these dates and will provide everyone with a chance to learn more about their home community.

Sask Party Candidates Forum Provides Chance to Learn More About Candidates Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
The Prairie Sky Chamber of Commerce (PSCC) hosted a Sask Party All Candidates Forum on Wednesday, August 21st at the Canalta Hotel in Martensville. This event gave those in attendance a chance to learn more about each candidate and pre-submit questions for the candidates. Candidates that attended the event included Bill Dyck, Bas FroeseKooijenga, Terry Jenson, Abe Quiring, and Kevin Tooley. Doug Ramage, a Director with the PSCC, was the moderator. The evening began with an opening statement from each candidate before moving into the question portion of the event. “It is through forums like this that candidates are provided with an opportunity to express their views openly so audience members can become better informed about their choices as elected officials,” Ramage explained. A number of questions were asked to the candidates including how each candidate would help to see growth continue within the area. “What it comes down to, is that we need to put the basics in place for communities to do what they need to do to grow. Ultimately, it is all about efficiencies. If we work together, we are far better off. It is all about avoiding conflict and instead, working together as municipalities, which is important to the provincial economy,” Bas Froese-Kooijenga stated. Tooley spoke about the need for infrastructure. “As we know, this particular region has been one of the fastest growing regions in Canada. This will help to make sure that we have appropriate infrastructure in place to help us grow in numbers and will help this area contribute to those numbers.” The next item up for discussion was regarding the environment and what plans are in place to help protect it. Candidates touched on the Made-in-Saskatchewan Climate Change Strategy that has been put in place, including the Prairie Resilience strategy plan. “I believe in Sask Made Solutions, but what irks me a bit is when people in big smoggy cities are setting the guidelines for our farming communities, and our areas here are doing as much as we can. There are many things that we are doing here and people in the big cities have no idea. They are setting the rules where I really believe we are capable of doing ourselves,” Bill Dyck said. Next Terry Jenson spoke on the subject and kept his thoughts on the matter quite clear. “Taxes bad; innovation good is where I come from. I think it is important that innovation comes way before taxes. When you start taxing the economy, it takes money out of possible ways of developing that innovation and implementing new strategies.” In Saskatchewan, agriculture is a big part of our economy, so candidates were asked what their strategy would be to support it. “Agriculture is one of the leading industries and we need to work hard to keep our farmers viable and trade issues strong. When we look around our area, it is all about farming and we need to keep that strong and keep our trade with other countries strong. That is what puts food on our tables,” Abe Quiring said. Another question asked about the balance of diverse interest between rural and urban municipalities. “Something the province likes to see is regional cooperation. We are doing it here on a voluntary basis and it is going amazingly well. What we are accomplishing here is quite special and it will be used as a model in other areas in the province, if not the country,” Froese-Kooijenga explained regarding the Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) Regional Plan. Candidates then had a chance to provide their thoughts on the biggest challenges facing this constituency and how to fix them, to which Dyck replied, “We have to keep up with what the demands are.” He then commented about infrastructure being needed, and more overpasses to increase transportation options in the area. When asked about their vision for the constituency, Jenson stated, “Ultimately, I want the rest of the province to look at this constituency and think, ‘Wow, I want to be like them’ because they do things right. They think about things ahead of time, planning together and looking at all possible options in terms of development, agriculture and infrastructure.” Tooley noted that he could see this constituency become more than one constituency. “As the rapid growth and rapid population in this area happens, we
are going to see it divide at some point and become more than one constituency.” Near the end of the evening, candidates were asked why they decided to run in this election. “I love my province. I love Saskatchewan and this gives me a chance to have a voice,” Quiring stated. To listen to the full forum, visit ‘Prairie Sky Chamber of Commerce’ on Facebook to watch the video of the entire question period with the candidates.

Sharing the Roads With Farm Equipment
With harvest season upon us, it is important to remember that there is farm equipment needed that gets transported along Saskatchewan highways. In order to keep everyone safe, here are some tips from SGI for sharing the road with farm equipment: • Farm equipment is very slow moving, and if you find yourself behind farm machinery, treat it like you would any slowmoving traffic: be patient and pass only when it’s safe to do so. • Farm equipment is often much wider and longer than expected, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time and space to safely pass. • Farmers are usually only transporting their machinery from one field to another, so they won’t be on the roads for a long distance; be patient – you won’t be behind them for long. • The operator of the farm equipment may not be able to see you, so make sure you give them plenty of room. • The driver of the machine might not be able to signal their intent to turn or slow down, so slow down to anticipate any sudden movements. Facts/Stats: -Fortunately we don't see a high number of collision on our roads involving farm equipment. However, August is when the most collisions of that type occurs, on average. Between 2013-2018, Saskatchewan averaged 3.8 collisions in August involving farm equipment on public roads.
Unregistered Farm Equipment Collisions* Year 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018**
Collisions 35 26 25 31 19 12
Injuries 9 7 12 9 10 10
Fatalities 0 0 0 1 2 2
* Collisions that occur on a public roadway and any of the following criteria are met: -Estimated repair costs for all vehicles and property exceed $5000 -Bodily injury or death occurs -an unregistered or unidentified vehicle is involved -a vehicle registered outside of Saskatchewan is involved -a vehicle is towed from the scene as a result of the collision -drug or alcohol impairment is apparent. **Data for 2018 is considered preliminary at this point.

By the time you read this we could be in a federal election campaign. This has been the reality for the past month, given the bizarre nature of federal election campaigns that must be a minimum six weeks, but can last more than twice that long. More likely, it will be called in the first week or second week of September for the Oct. 21 legislated vote date. The polls show Conservatives and Liberals in a virtual dead heat, nationally, but the outcome in our part of the world seems far less in doubt. Most Saskatchewan seats, especially those with large rural components, will be voting Conservative in overwhelming numbers. A colleague from the southeast asked me a while back when the rest of Saskatchewan gets to be like his area of rural Saskatchewan that’s always been overwhelming conservative. It’s an interesting question. There was time when at least some rural ridings would consider parking their vote for someone other than the conservative option. Today, it’s hard for other parties to even find candidates. As recently reported by the Regina LeaderPost’s Arthur White-Crummey the Liberals and New Democrats just have six candidates in Saskatchewan, each. Both Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives and Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada have filled their slate for the 14 ridings. Even the Green Party of Canada has nine Saskatchewan candidates. That the two most of right-of-centre parties are doing the best, at least in the candidate recruitment department, would seem to clearly indicate the case of the fact that their policies are attracting enthusiastic support. In the case of Scheer’s Conservatives, the added prospects of winning the seat and maybe even serving in government would be added incentives. Only 14 times out of 32 federal elections, has Saskatchewan sent the majority of its MPs to the government side of the House of Commons. However, the enthusiasm for Bernier’s PPC is more intriguing in that their candidates have precious little chance of winning seats and no chance of sitting in government even if they do. Moreover, the distain of Conservative supporters that see the PPC draining votes and, potentially, costing Conservatives seats in a tight election should make it even more difficult for the PPC to attract PPC candidates here. (Realistically, a PPC candidate won’t be a big threat to most Prairie Conservative candidates.) But what PPC, and even Green support, would appear to suggest it is a commitment to ideology that we may now be lacking in the Liberals and NDP ranks in this part of the country. “You’re almost running a sacrificial candidate,” said Jim Farney, head of the university’s Department of Politics and International Studies, told White-Crummey. With the Conservatives winning about 70 per cent of the vote in rural ridings last election (sometimes, even higher) and with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s extremely low approval rating here, the task of even getting a warm body to run as the local Liberal candidate has become increasingly difficult in many parts of rural Saskatchewan. “We’ve checked out some candidates, and so far everyone has said ‘no, not at this time,’” said Cypress Hills-Grasslands Liberal riding association chairman Duane Filson, a former candidate in 2011. Compare that with the Conservatives who have eight incumbents and who have held competitive nomination races that have produced as candidates Saskatchewan Party MLAs like Warren Steinley and Corey Tochor, and former Conservative candidates like Michael Kram running against veteran Liberal Ralph Goodale in Regina Wascana. Success breeds success in politics. The better a party does, the better its’ organization and financial support next time around. That means even in Regina Wascana, there is enthusiasm and optimism and when you already more philosophically appealing to voters, you may have an insurmountable head start.

The 15U Sask Five Giants AAA team has had quite the year. Martensville’s Brayden Barnett, Kleysen Gabruck, Josh Goldbeck, and Max Hildebrand helped make us this team with players from Dalmeny, Warman, Watrous, and Battleford. In league play the team lost in the semi-finals to the Saskatoon Brewers two games to one, the eventual Saskatoon league champions. They carried on to Provincials, where the Giants defeated the South East A’s 7-1, lost to the Saskatoon Astros 6-4, and defeated Moose Jaw Canucks 18-1 in pool play. The Giants finished pool play in 4th place out of 12 teams and for the semi-final match once again had to play the Saskatoon Astros. The Giants defeated the Astros 10-1 in the semi-final, and then played the Regina White Sox for the Championship for the second consecutive year. The Giants defeated the White Sox 5-3 and defended the 15U AAA Provincial Championship earning them a chance at winning the Western Canadian title held in Lloydminster August 15-18. In Westerns, the Giants defeated the Saskatchewan Host (North West Prairie Pirates) 16-11 to start off the tournament, then defeated Alberta (Red Deer Braves) 8-1, Manitoba 2 (North Winnipeg Pirates) 12-1, and Manitoba 1 (Carillon Sultans) 9-1. With a spot in the final guaranteed, the Giants lost to BC (Coquitlam Reds) 11-0 and finished pool play with a 4-1 record and first place in the pool as they headed to the 1vs2 Championship Final. A return engagement with the Host North West Prairie Pirates proved to be an exciting all Saskatchewan matchup with the Giants winning 11-4 to capture the Western Canada 15U AAA Baseball Championship. “As a coaching staff, it was fantastic to see the players/ families rewarded for the hours of dedication that went in to practice, playing and the travel commitment by the families over the previous four months. A motto for the team all season was that we cannot win together if we don’t work together and the players worked hard together all season and the results were proof of that,” stated coach Mark Campbell.

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS
Week 11 in the CFL kicked off with a battle for first place in the west on Friday night. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers held off a fourth-quarter surge by the Edmonton Eskimos to stay at the top of the West. The Bombers were without starting quarterback Matt Nichols who was placed on the 6-game injured list after week 10. The Eskimos on the other hand are one of the only teams that still has their original starting QB from the beginning of the season. Trevor Harris threw for 430 yards and one touchdown that was part of a 16-point 4th quarter for Edmonton that came up just short. On Saturday the Saskatchewan Roughriders were well rested after the bi-week and put up 17 points in the first quarter. The Riders kept the offense going to a big 40-18 win over the Ottawa RedBlacks who have now lost three in a row. Saskatchewan has now won 5 straight games headed into back to back games against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers who lost their starting QB last week and just received news that their running back and the CFL’s leading rusher Andrew Harris has been suspended for two games after testing positive for a banned substance. The next game on Saturday was much less offensive as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and BC Lions slugged it out to a 13-10 final score with the Ti-Cats coming out on top. Hamilton stayed at the top of the East with an 8-2 record and the Lions stayed in the Western basement at 1-9. On Sunday it was Touchdown Atlantic as the Montreal Alouettes and Toronto Argonauts in Moncton, New Brunswick. The Maritime crowd got a thriller as the Argos held a 16-6 lead at halftime and watched the Al’s come back with 22 points in the second half including a 65-yard bomb from Vernon Adams Jr. to Eugene Lewis at the start of the half. Adams Jr. finished the game with 335 yards and two TD’s in the 28-22 win while Toronto’s McLeod Bethel-Thompson threw for 464 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. My picks finished 3-1 last week which improves my record to 29-14 this season. My winning picks for the long awaited Labour Day Classics are Saskatchewan, Calgary, and Toronto.

SPORTS Martensville Slo-Pitch Hosts Year End Tournament
The Martensville Slo-Pitch Association held their year-end ball tournament from Friday, August 23rd to Sunday, August 25th.

After three days of intense competition, in the end, the A-Final went to the team ‘Sport’ who took out the ‘Junior Go-Getters’ to claim the championship. Congratulations to all teams on another successful year. Following another successful season, the Martensville Slo-Pitch Association is already busy making plans for next season.
