Students Learn Valuable Life Lesson By Giving Back Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
This year marked the second year that Lake Vista Elementary School held their Farm to School/Toonberry Fundraiser, where friends and family of students had the opportunity to purchase a variety of fresh vegetables. A portion of the profits from all sales went to the school, which plans to use the funds towards their playground. This year, a total of $3960 was raised. In addition to the funds, the school also receives an assortment of vegetables that they are able to donate to different organizations. This year donations were made to the Martensville Free Pantry, Egadz, Saskatoon Food Bank, Crisis Nursery and Ronald McDonald House. “It is a great fundraiser for the kids, because they are raising money for the school, but helping others out as well. We get to give back and do something for our community and it is a good life lesson to be able to do something like this,” Principal Chris Mason explained. Students were encouraged to sell as many veggie packages as possible and as an added incentive, the top three selling families are receiving an article of school clothing, and also had the chance to help stock the shelves at the Martensville Free Pantry. On Wednesday, November 14th, Principal Chris Mason, and the top selling students brought with them an assortment of fresh produce to help those that rely on donations at the Martensville Free Pantry. “Everyone was very thankful for the donations and we are very proud to be supporting such great causes,” Principal Mason said. The fundraiser was possible with assistance from the Lake Vista SCC, which Mason stated played an integral part in making it happen. “They work so hard to make our school the wonderful place that it is.”

SHUTOUT HUNGER
The Martensville Pee Wee Pirates want to Shutout Hunger this holiday season and are holding a food collection day in support of the Martensville Fire Department’s Annual Christmas Hamper Program. The Pee Wee Pirates are taking part in the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup this hockey season and wanted to help our volunteer firefighters who do so much for our community. Please stop by the rink and drop off your nonperishable food items and help our team do something great for our community. WHEN: Saturday, December 8 from 12pm-4pm WHERE: Lobby of Martensville Arena WHAT: Food collection of non-perishable items WHY: Help our team support our local firefighters in helping families in our community
The program aims to facilitate the handling of emergencies by Police, Fire, and Ambulance services during the winter months, reduce the hazards of icy conditions to motorists and pedestrians, and minimize the economic losses to the community and industry resulting from unsatisfactory winter driving conditions. Information on general program procedures and the City’s Priority Map is available online at Martensville.ca, but here are a few ways you can help our crews keep our streets as clear and safe as possible: - Do not shovel, blow, or push snow from private property onto the street – this causes snow ridges on your driveway when our plow cleans your street. - Do not plow or pile snow on streets – this can block access to manholes and watervalves and be a safety hazard. - Clear your driveways in advance of the city’s snow clearing operations - this helps our operators clear your street more efficiently. - Do not park your vehicle in an area where it could obstruct snow removal procedures. This hinders our operations and could result in a snow ridge blocking your vehicle in place. - Do not leave large piles of snow at the corners of driveways – this snow can be caught by a raised snow-gate blade and topple over into your driveway or the street. - Prevent snow from piling up on the front of your driveway by moving it near your tree/ lawn areas behind your walkway. - Watch for posted areas for Snow Removal - In case of snow and snow removal, crews need to have roads cleared off of all vehicles on posted streets. If you are going out of the City over the holidays, please have your vehicles off City streets. Vehicles left on the street per the traffic bylaw are ticketed and towed (to a non-posted area). Our crews strive to deliver excellent services, however sometimes weather can be unpredictable, and snow and ice control activities may vary. Every reasonable effort will be made to remove snow and ice and create safe driving and walking conditions in a timely manner.

Players Attend Maddog Awards Day Janine Hayward, Martensville Messenger
The Maddog Football teams held their annual Awards day on November 18th in the Valley Manor Gym. President Janine Hayward began the event with the Peewee Tackle Awards, and spoke about some of the highlights from the Maddog year. The 2018 season was the thirteenth year for the program and Hayward noted that she was proud of how far along the program has come. “This is a great organization because of the wonderful volunteers,” commented Hayward. One of the highlights mentioned was the continued use of the new clubhouse for the sixth year that has helped things run much more smoothly. Special mention was also made to Dom Glasser (Glasser and Sons) and Ernie Biggs (Shaunnessy Electric) and Brandt Construction for their hard work on the new spotter’s booth, which made more storage for field equipment and made home games much easier to set up. The clock is directly connected to the booth so scorekeeping was made simpler. The head coaches Travis Urschel and Grant Currie along with their coaching staff took some time to discuss some of the players’ great achievements throughout the season. Both teams showed much improvement and had great success with the Bantams finishing first in league and the Peewees in third. Both coaches commented on the dedication the players had to practices and games and that was the reason for their successful season. Travis Urschel made a comment that reflects the Maddog program, stating, “As a coach my job is to instill a love of the game of football to these young players. That is the goal of the program.” Each Bantam player was awarded a Maddog Yearbook that highlighted their achievements, which were provided thanks to the assistance of Pam Bernes. The graduates were acknowledged for their commitment to the Maddogs and Hayward and Currie wished them luck in their future football endeavors. This season, the Maddogs Bantam and Peewee tackle teams hosted three home games, and this year was also the first time the Maddogs hosted a home playoff game, which would not have been possible without all of the help from the parents. Once again, the annual Maddog Homecoming was a huge success, with one of the main highlights being the appearance of the Rock 102 girls, who brought with them some games and prizes for the fans. Another crowd favorite was watching Roughrider Alumni Chris Getzlaff and our Huskie and Hilltop players help the flag kids play between tackle games. The Maddog Organization would like to make special mention to Dave Dumont for his hard work with the flag program. He is handing over the reins to Tim Edmonds who will be the new flag representative. The flag teams were also fortunate to have the Bantam players help them run through drills this year to start their season off. They were great role models. “Our Numbers were strong in our flag program which will hopefully help with our future Peewee numbers,” commented Hayward. This year Royals’ Offensive Lineman Coach Aaron Osczevski came to speak to the graduating Bantams. He praised the Maddog program for getting the players ready for the next level. “Programs like the Maddogs are key to our high school program,” commented Osczevski. “If the players are well prepared and work hard they can play a significant role with the Royals.” Much work is put into the Maddog organization, and Hayward recognized the individuals that play a part in ensuring its success. “I would like to take this time to thank

our hard-working executive, who works year-round to keep this club running,” commented Hayward. “The coaches and managers also put in endless hours and their efforts are appreciated.” Special mention went to the managers, Tammy Urschel, Lori Biggs and Jen Peterson for all their work organizing their teams as managers. The Maddogs would also like to thank everyone who supported their football raffle once again. This year the money went towards more equipment, clubhouse upgrades, and the new spotter’s booth for midfield. Thanks for your support. Thank you to all the businesses that support the Maddog program. Special thanks to Martensville Messenger, Shaughnessy Electric, Glasser and Sons, Brigadier Security, Brandt Construction and United Rentals. They would also like to say a special thanks to Ringers Pizza, who provided pizza for the awards day. Keep an eye out for the Spring Six ‘A’ Side Tackle Program in March and the Flag Spring Registration in January. The Maddogs are also hosting a dry land training program throughout the winter at the MAP, starting in January. Go Maddogs!!!

The Martensville Snipers played in the A final against the Saskatoon Wild Thunder. It was a hard fought game, but the Snipers came up short as the Wild won 3-0 for the gold. The Martensville Villains won the B side defeating the Regina Capitals. Warman Jaguars and Saskatoon Renegade Xtreme played in the C final with the Xtreme coming out as the C side champs. The Snipers have had a busy tournament schedule. They played two weeks ago in the Warman Panthers Tournament in Waldhiem and lost out in the A final against the Humboldt Broncos; whom they beat this past weekend to get into the A final. The Snipers will be heading to Lloydminster for their next tournament December 14-16th. All members of the team would like to thank all of the local businesses that gave donations to make their tournament such a great success.

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS
The match-up for the 106th Grey Cup in Edmonton is set after the Division finals wrapped up last weekend. After the Hamilton Tiger-Cats hammered the BC Lions to move to the East Final if was the Ti-Cats turn to get thumped. Trevor Harris set a CFL Playoff record throwing for 6 touchdowns while picking apart the Hamilton defense. A 21-Point second quarter set the tone for the RedBlacks’ 46-27 win. Ottawa is heading to the big dance for the third time in the last four years, while their opponent is heading to the Grey Cup for the third year in a row. The Calgary Stampeders figured out Andrew Harris and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the West Final. The Stamps held the CFL’s rushing leader to just 71 yards on the ground while also keeping QB Matt Nichols to 156 passing yards. Calgary QB Bo Levi Mitchell threw for 214 yards and three TD’s, all of them to Eric Rodgers, who finished with 6 receptions for 61 yards and a hat-trick of touchdowns in a 22-14 win. While the Stampeders have made it to the last two Grey Cups before this one, they have not left the big game victorious. Ottawa beat them in an OT thriller in 2016 and then lost a heartbreaker in the final minutes to the Toronto Argonauts last year. Calgary is hoping for a ‘third time is the charm’ scenario as the Stamps and RedBlacks face off in Edmonton this Sunday at 5pm Saskatchewan time. Calgary won the season series between the two teams, outscoring the RedBlacks 51-17 in two games. Although that was during Calgary’s hot start (7-0) before they lost their whole starting receiving core to injury. The teams final regular seasons record are much more similar than the head-to-head would suggest. Both teams finished at the top of their respective Divisions, Calgary with a 13-5 record and Ottawa with an 11-7 record. Ottawa won their last 3 games of the regular season while the Stamps lost 3 of their last 4. Both of my predictions last week were correct and with my final prediction for the 2018 CFL Season, I have the Calgary Stampeders finally receiving the recognition they deserve for a team that has been the best in the regular season for the past three years. Calgary Stampeders, 106th Grey Cup Champions. They can’t lose three years in a row can they?
THANK YOU!

RMs Must Keep Pace With Change
When you think about it, some of the challenges facing Saskatchewan rural municipalities are similar to the challenges facing agriculture as a whole. Farming has become a science, requiring significant attention paid to managing water resources, fertilizers and chemicals, machinery, fuel, crop selection and rotation and a seemingly infinite list of smaller details that won’t necessarily guarantee crop production. After all that, no money is made until your cereal, pulse or oilseed crops are properly marketed. While it may be what producers wanted, there can be no doubt that it’s added to the complexity of today’s modern producer; however, one big difference between today’s farmers and today’s RM is how the size of their respective operations have and haven’t changed. For farmers, it’s all about learning how to manage more acres to allow their operations to remain viable, but for reeves and rural municipal councillors, the size of RMs hasn’t changed because few RMs have gotten bigger through amalgamations in their 100-plus years of existence. One might assume that would make the job of managing RMs less complicated. Fewer farmers in each RM because of larger farms should mean less conflict between farmers over things like whose grid road gets gravelled or ploughed first. While some may still subscribe to the old cliché of RM administration being all about gravel and gopher poison, it’s gotten considerably more complicated than that. Today’s RM reeves and councillors must deal with complicated environmental and drainage laws and regulations. Moreover, larger scale farming operations are often the exact ones being blamedl, fairly or unfairly; as the source of such newfound environmental and drainage problems. Keeping up with legislation and governance changes and arbitrating disputes is an increasingly complicated problem for today’s reeves and councillors, but it’s getting even more complex then that. For example, recent stories about the collapsed bridge in RM of Clayton or ammonia levels in the water in the hamlet of Lone Rock and the RM of Wilton speak to the added complexity and it’s now always physically identifiable problems in play. There have been an increasing number of cases of personnel related issues impacting rural governance involving today’s expected standards of conduct. In other words, bullying and harassment are very real things in today’s workplaces, as a few local RM councillors are now discovering. Even if these incidents are isolated, they represent the added complexities facing today’s local politicians, but this may be just the beginning when it comes to the changing face of some rural municipalities. Consider what's going in RM of McKillop that has been under supervision since September, after Government Relations Minister Warren Kaeding appointed a supervisor to oversee massive administrative and democratic issues in the RM. The reason for the need for supervision has to do with significant financial problems, culminating with a proposed 130-per-cent tax increase to deal with the problems. There are clearly questionable spending decisions now under examination, but the issue boils down to the growth in cottage property, the need to properly service these property owners and the unwillingness of existing RM council to address the specific concerns of these newer ratepayers. Cottage owners on Last Mountain Lake are mostly located in McKillop’s Division 4. The ratepayers say 54 per cent of the eligible voters are in Division 4, compared with four, six, 14 and 18 per cent of the voters in the other divisions, respectively. Yet even after a 73-per-cent resolution vote in favour of changing the boundaries existing; McKillop council chose to pass a resolution to hold public meetings on the matter. Among the many new realities for municipalities is a rather old one. Every vote should count, especially in today’s rural municipalities where things are changing and challenges are mounting.
MLA Report With Nancy Heppner
Delivering Results for Saskatchewan Residents Your Saskatchewan Party government maintains its focus on growth and opportunity because a strong economy is essential to strengthen communities and make life better not just for ourselves, but for our friends, neighbours, and future generations. Saskatchewan had the worst economic growth and job creation record under the NDP. Schools and hospitals closed, highways crumbled, young people and professionals left the province, and wait times for surgery were the longest in Canada. Today, schools and hospitals are being built, highway safety is a priority, young people and professionals are staying, others are moving here to raise their families and build a life, and wait times for surgery are a lot better than they once were. Highways Improvements This week we opened new passing lanes to improve safety on Highway 4. This is in addition to ongoing and completed work all across the province. Earlier this fall, the Chief Mistawasis Bridge in north Saskatoon was opened to traffic. New interchanges at Warman and Martensville, two of the fastest-growing communities in Saskatchewan, are also open to traffic, one year ahead of schedule. In all, more than 13,000 kilometres of Saskatchewan highways have been built or improved and 275 bridges have been repaired or replaced since 2007. These projects reduce congestion, improve traffic safety and support future growth. New Schools and Major School Renovations One year ago, we celebrated the completion of 18 new joint-use schools that will provide space for more than 11,000 students and remain in like-new condition for the next 30 years, thanks to our government’s innovative P3 contracts. Two more schools will be built using traditional methods, contributing to the $1.6 billion our government has invested in education infrastructure. This includes 40 new schools and 25 major school renovations. Using both P3 and traditional models, our government will continue to support our education system and our students by using the model that makes the most sense with each new project. Modernizing Health Care Infrastructure Our commitment to modernizing healthcare infrastructure has resulted in an investment of approximately $1.5 billion. This includes the completion of two new hospitals, 14 long-term care facilities, and ongoing capital for the construction of two additional hospitals. We are now nearing completion of the new provincial psychiatric hospital in North Battleford. The facility will be among the most innovative mental health treatment centres in the country and ensure those facing significant mental health needs receive the best treatment available. Through a phased-in approach, 188 mental health beds will be available to deliver mental health care and support and an adjoining correctional facility will provide 96 beds for offenders living with mental health challenges. Upgraded SaskTel Cellular & Internet Service This year, SaskTel expanded its High-Speed Fusion Internet to 35 additional rural locations in the province, completing Phase 1 of our government’s plan to provide communities with enhanced access to high-speed internet services. As part of Phase 2 of this plan, SaskTel is working to improve 4G LTE cellular services in 100 rural Saskatchewan communities through the deployment of a small cell site solution, with the first 50 communities expected to be complete in the spring.

Mr Mikes® Steakhousecasual Brings The Warmth Of The Holiday Season With Sixth-Annual Deeds Well Done Campaign Charities Across Canada to be Recognized by the Local Communities They Serve For the sixth year running, MR MIKES® SteakhouseCasual is paying it forward with the return of Deeds Well Done, a nation-wide holiday initiative that encourages restaurant guests to celebrate the people who make their communities a better place. The sixth-annual Deeds Well Done campaign will run from November 19 to December 31, and guests are encouraged to nominate a registered charity in their community during this time. One registered charity from each of MR MIKES® 40 markets will receive community-wide recognition along with a group dinner at their local MR MIKES SteakhouseCasual location and $500 from MR MIKES® to further support their cause. Deeds Well Done launched in 2013, and MR MIKES® has recognized approximately 250 charities and individuals across Canada since its inception. The purpose of Deeds Well Done is to inspire people in each MR MIKES® market to reflect on what’s truly important during the holiday season while giving back to their community. The campaign brings communities together to rally around amazing organizations in their own backyard. The 2017 Deeds Well Done program resulted in 1,400 nominations from 37 communities in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. “We believe in the importance of supporting the communities MR MIKES® is proud to serve, and Deeds Well Done is an opportunity to thank the local organizations who work tirelessly to make positive change in these communities,” said Robin Chakrabarti, President, MR MIKES SteakhouseCasual. “The holiday season is a time to give back and support those in need, and Deeds Well Done is a great way for guests to make an impact on their community.” In addition to accepting community nominations, MR MIKES® restaurants across the country partner with local organizations during the holiday season to help fulfill a need within the community. To spread the spirit of “Deeds Well Done”, this year, many MR MIKES restaurants will be supporting their own local communities. Past partnerships have included MR MIKES® Langford hosting a stuffed animal drive for the BC Children’s Hospital, MR MIKES® Fort St John supporting a local family from the Women’s Shelter with a Christmas Hamper, MR MIKES® Saskatoon collecting food donations for the Saskatoon Food Bank and MR MIKES® Grande Prairie selling items to raise money for Purple With A Purpose to support those living with pancreatic cancer.
