Rosetown First Responder Killed While On Scene of Accident
Members from the Rosetown RCMP, Rosetown and Biggar Fire Departments, and EMS from Rosetown were called to the scene of a collision between two semitrucks on Highway 4 approximately 14 miles north of Rosetown on November 21st. No one was injured in the collision between the two semi trucks. Investigators determined that one truck was entering Highway 4 from the west and turning north when it was struck by a southbound semi travelling on Highway #4. While first responders were on scene responding to the collision, 46-year-old, Darrell James Morrison, a volunteer with the Rosetown Fire Department, was struck by a passing semi-truck while he was assisting at the scene. Lifesaving efforts were made by his colleagues at the scene and he was transported to hospital in Rosetown, but he died a short time later. On Tuesday, November 27th, hundreds of First Responders gathered on Highway 4 to pay respect to their fallen comrade during a full honours funeral service. Although the service was private, as requested by Morrison’s family, the streets were lined with people wanting to pay their respects. The death of Morrison has sparked conversation between the provincial government and the Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs regarding methods to improve safety for first responders responding to collisions on highways.

Martensville Bylaw to the Rescue Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
This December, Kim Hryhoriw will be celebrating her second anniversary working as a City of Martensville bylaw officer. Throughout the past two years, Hryhoriw has had some memorable moments, and finds herself quite fortunate to be working in a job that she absolutely adores. “I love meeting new people within the community, and I really enjoy being able to educate people about the bylaws in a positive way,” Hryhoriw explained. On November 15th, Hryhoriw responded to a call, which resulted in a day that she will never forget. Arriving at work for 10am, Hryhoriw was told that someone had called about a couple of puppies being outside. As it was a cold day, Hryhoriw headed straight to the address that was provided and upon arriving, noticed that there were two Akitas in the yard. Being knowledgeable with dog breeds, Kim knew that these dogs were an outdoor type dog and began to head out. Thankfully, the neighbor that had called bylaw showed up and explained that he had heard some noises that sounded like puppies and he felt that the female Akita was giving birth. Kim then phoned City Hall to try to track down the owners of the dog and once she reached them, they were quite shocked at what was taking place as Bella, the mother dog, was not due for another couple of weeks. Returning home, Kim and the owners began moving quickly and placed the male dog in a pen. The sounds that Hryhoriw had heard earlier seemed to be coming from underneath the pontoon boat; however all was silent now. Hryhoriw, who is 6 feet tall, decided to maneuver underneath the boat and came across a wet, tiny, newborn pup. After crawling out, Kim noticed that the pup was not responding, so she began to clean it off, and rubbing it for warmth. Within a few moments, she heard a faint squeaking sound and placed the pup in a towel. Running on a hunch, Hryhoriw decided to crawl back under the boat and discovered that the mother had dug a hole to birth in and could see one teeny lump within the hole. “I thought to myself, ‘Please Lord, don’t let me pick up a dead puppy’. I grabbed it and shimmied out from under the boat and noticed immediately that it was non-responsive. I rubbed it in my hands and began to rub its sternum and finally it began squeaking. That was one of the best sounds I have ever heard in my life,” Hryhoriw said. From there, Kim and the owners took the mother and the two pups inside the house, and within moments, another one had been born. With the mom and puppies now safe and warm, everyone felt that they could finally relax and Hryhoriw decided to stop in at Paws Republic to ask a few questions. It was here that she was informed that dogs can give birth for up to 24 hours. “I heard that and decided to go back and when the owner answered the door, she said to me that there was now 4 puppies. I went in to see them and another pup was born, so in total there were 5 of them.” The pup that Hryhoriw saved from underneath the boat was the runt of the litter and after returning the next day, Hryhoriw discovered that the owners named the little one ‘Kimmi’, after the woman who had saved her. “Kimmi is a little fighter. I am hoping that she grows up big and strong and I feel like I have a connection with that little one.” In a story that could have had a very tragic ending, Hryhoriw is grateful to the neighbor that called in about the puppies. “If he hadn’t called in, those puppies wouldn’t have made it. It is so important for people to call us with their concerns and we need to watch out for one another. I am so relieved that there was a happy ending and I will always be thankful for this special feel good day that I had.” While this is the first time that Hryhoriw has helped save the lives of newborn puppies, she has received other calls about dogs being outside after the owners had forgotten to let them in. “Sometimes it is just a slip of the mind, or a person falls asleep, so it really is so vital that we take care of each other and owners are typically grateful for the reminder!” Hryhoriw wanted to say a special thank you to Paws Republic for the help they provided. “Everyone at Paws Republic always goes above and beyond for their community and they are so knowledgeable when it comes to animals.” Paws Republic works closely with the City of Martensville when it comes to lost & found pets. For calls made after 5pm, or on weekends, residents can contact Paws Republic at (306) 934-PAWS or email PawsRepublic@gmail.com. To contact the City of Martensville bylaw officers, contact (306) 229-6859 or call the Bylaw Office at (306) 931-2166.

Little Girl With a Big Heart Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
It is no secret that Martensville is full of extraordinary people of all ages. Eleven-year-old Kelsie MacDougald is one of these people. Currently in grade 6 at Lake Vista Elementary School, Kelsie has proven herself to be one amazing youth. This past January, MacDougald decided that she wanted to do her part to help out our furry friends in need and used her birthday money to purchase items to donate to the Saskatoon SPCA. “I am a huge animal lover and I really wanted to do something to give back and now I feel really good that I am able to help, even a little bit,” Kelsie explained. From there, things continued to build and MacDougald created Paws n’ Claws Food Fund, a nonprofit that she runs to help collect donations and funds for the SPCA. In addition to collecting donations of cat and dog food, single layer blankets, liquid laundry detergents, coupons, treats and money, MacDougald also creates her own cat toys, which she sells with all proceeds going to shelter animals. Having grown up with cats, Kelsie has always felt an attachment to animals, which led her to strive towards a dream of being a veterinarian. “I have had cats all my life and I feel as though they were an inspiration for me to want to be involved with helping animals any way I can. That’s why I want to be a vet, so I can help.” When making donations at the SPCA, Kelsie ensures that she takes time to acknowledge each animal and let them know that she is working hard for them. Recently, Kelsie received quite an honour as she was awarded with the 2018 CBC Saskatchewan Future 40 Bright Light winner. After being nominated for the CBC Future 40, Kelsie was surprised to be chosen. Sudoku Answers
“I am always surprised when I think about how far this has come already. I never imagined that I would be able to be this successful. I always thought it would just be a small thing and that it wouldn’t grow for a long time, but it ended up getting big quite quickly,” MacDougald said. The purpose of the Future 40 is to celebrate 40 Saskatchewan people that are under the age of 40 who are contributing to the betterment of the province. For those interested in contributing to this incredible 11-year-old’s dream, visit ‘Paws 'n Claws Food Fund’ on Facebook.

Be Safe This Holiday Season
The City of Martensville and the Martensville Fire Department would like to remind you to have a safe and merry holiday season. Here are some tips to ensure safety around the home and out on the road. Placing, decorating and disposing of a Christmas tree: • The tree should be placed at least three feet from any heat source like fireplaces, radiators, candles and heat vents. • Tree decoration light strings should be approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), discarded if damaged, and never left on when leaving home or going to sleep. • Trees should also be disposed of quickly after celebrating the holidays. Smoke detectors: • Remember to check your home’s smoke detectors during the holidays and test them monthly. • Everyone in your home should understand a smoke detectors sound and know they are to exit a building quickly and calmly before calling the fire department. Home safety: • Remember to check around the house to ensure electrical cords are not stripped or exposed, not overloaded and not covered with carpeting or other flammable materials. • Never leave open flames such as candles or fireplaces unattended. • Never leave cooking pots or pans unattended on the stove or in the oven when preparing Christmas dinner. Road Safety: • Be sure to check the weather and the province’s Highway Hotline before getting on the road. • Make sure your car is in good mechanical condition, preferably with snow tires, and plan ahead to ensure you have enough gas. • If you do get stuck in an isolated area, don’t try and walk out. Stay with the vehicle. • Always travel with an emergency kit in your vehicle.
SNOW AND ICE CONTROL PROGRAM – What You Need to Know
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.

Trespassing Law Needs Reasonable Update
“Forgive us or trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against.” One doesn’t have to be especially religious to consider this passage from the Lord’s Prayer to be pretty good advice. Now, it’s especially good advice for lawmakers now trying to navigate the difficult notions surrounding a landowners right to keep people tramping on their land. In preparation for legislation expected as early as this week, the Saskatchewan government unveiled its survey results on what people would like to see in a new act Trespass to Property Act. This is largely a rural Saskatchewan issue and not all city people are aware of what’s going on and - arguably more importantly - the consequences of what’s going on. Besides the obvious damage to crops and endangerment of livestock, certain crops are vulnerable to disease that can simply be transported by people tramping through fields. There is a long-standing problem of hunters damaging livestock and being a threat to safety and damage to the land and property done by quads, snowmobiles and other vehicles has always been a thing. While some of this clearly is unintentional, some of it is a result of those who have always been careless and disrespectful, combined with newer hunters and trekkers, we seem to have issues. Moreover, landowners are vulnerable to lawsuit for damage people might cause themselves while being where they really should be in the first place. For all these reasons, it makes sense for the government to review “existing legislation to better address the appropriate balance between rural land owners and members of the public.” The government stressed that First Nations hunting and fishing rights that set out in the treaties and Constitutional guaranteed should not
be effected because such rights “neither creates a right of access to privately owned land nor takes those rights away.” Generally what the government seems to be looking at in the new is meaningful changes to reverse the onus on trespassing. One suggestion seems to involve no longer having to post land with “no trespassing” signs at specific distances. Hunters and others wishing access to land should contact the owners rather than working under any assumptions that they are welcomed simply because there is no signage suggesting they are not. It seems to make sense, but also here is where things get rather complicated. Getting permission to be on someone’s land is becoming increasingly complicated because of privacy laws and the fact that more land is owned by owners who might not be farming or living in the immediate area. Elsewhere in the world, we are seeing what is called “right to roam” laws where the exact opposite is happening. In many European countries, trekkers on foot
are gaining increased access to private land simply for the pleasure of enjoying the outdoors. Perhaps such laws are less necessary in a giant country like Canada, but it does seem to be something that makes the world more neighbourly and then there are serious questions whether more regulation on who can come on your land will do much for rural crime. By the same argument that tougher gun laws only hurt the law abiding, tougher trespassing laws may affect ordinary people than those with criminal intent. In fact, it is legitimate to worry - as the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations is now worrying - that people on their land without permission is up to no good. Given the tensions we have sometimes seen between First Nations and non-First Nations people, especially in light of the Colten Boushie verdict, this could create potentially explosive situations. Education is needed, but so is reason. Maybe we all need to take a breath and remember the prayer most of us were taught.

This Holiday Season, Give the ‘Gift of Sport’ Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
KidSport has been an important addition to the community for many years; however in recent years, the number of families applying for financial assistance through the program has risen substantially. As the population grows, so does the number of applications coming in annually. As a fundraising initiative to help children in the community participate in sports when their parents don’t have the means to afford them the opportunity; KidSport relies on donations from the community to provide this. Funding for the program comes through various means such as; raffles (KidSport Playhouse), events, corporate sponsors, sports teams, local organizations, memorial donations and more. “One thing that I think is really important is that all money raised in Martensville, stays in Martensville, and helps of all donations go to the youth within our community,” Angie Reddekopp, City of Martensville Program Coordinator, said. The City of Martensville hosts several events throughout the year with funds going to KidSport. The Martensville Shopping Extravaganza was Visit martensvillemessenger.ca to donate today! held November 24th https://martensvillemessenger.ca/kidsport-donation/ and all entry donations

went to the program, and Play and Skate with Santa will be taking place December 9th with admission by donation to KidSport. Reddekopp also added that KidSport has been in contact with the local schools to see if there is a way that they can partner up to help support the program. “These are the kids that are going to be getting jobs in Martensville and giving back to their community. Sports play such a vital role when it comes to learning life skills and the City of Martensville often hires local youth to run various programs, so if they go through the process of being involved in a certain activity, it can open so many doors and opportunities for them to get involved with other things later in life,” Reddekopp explained. Over the past 5 years, Reddekopp noted that the number of applications has doubled with this year marking the first time the program has run out of money for financial support. This year alone through KidSport, over 34 kids were given the opportunity to participate in sports and approximately $13,500 was provided to do this. Through a lack of funding, some children were unable to receive full funding for a program. “Our goal is to try to fund everyone the full amount; however, when the money isn’t there, we always try to provide something, even if we can’t do all of it. With this year being the first year we have run out of money, there has been more thought and demand to try to figure out ways to generate more money.” Reddekopp attributes the surplus in applications to the fact that more and more residents are becoming aware of the program. “It is great that people are becoming more knowledgeable about KidSport, but at the same time, we have to continue to get those funds coming in.” Throughout the year, donation cans are available at local businesses and at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP). “Every little bit helps. People don’t need to make big donations, but a little bit can go a long way for these kids,” said Reddekopp. Amounts provided to families vary and can be as little as $70/child each year and as high as $700/child each year. Funds can go towards one activity, or multiple activities throughout the year and all money gets paid directly to the organization. For those interested in donating to KidSport this holiday season, you can donate the ‘Gift of Sport’, a gift that will last well beyond the holidays by visiting www. kidsportcanada.ca and select Martensville, or you can visit www.martensvillemessenger. ca/kidsport-donation. Applications for KidSport are available at the MAP and can be picked up in person, or emailed. The application process is quite simple; however, families are required to have someone on their application that endorses it, such as a teacher, social worker, church member, etc. For more information, contact the MAP at (306) 683-5576.

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS
Third time was the charm for the Calgary Stampeders as they were crowned Champions of the 106th Grey Cup. After two straight years of coming up short in the big game the Stampeders finally locked down a 27-16 win over the Ottawa RedBlacks. What was the difference in this Grey Cup? The Calgary Stampeders came out on the right side of the ‘Big Play’ that seems to determine the winner of every championship game in sports. The big play in this game came at a time when the RedBlacks were gaining momentum and ready to go into halftime just three points back of the Stamps. Calgary returner Terry Williams had other plans. Williams turned the tables going into halftime with a Grey Cup record 97-yard punt return touchdown with one second left on the clock to put Calgary up 21-11 at the break. Neither team was able to score a major after Alessia Cara ROCKED the halftime show. The Stamps were able to hold on thanks to Ottawa turnovers. The RedBlacks gave the ball up five times (three interceptions, two fumbles) which ultimately won the game for the Stampeders. Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell wasn’t outstanding in the Grey Cup, but he did throw for 253 yards and a pair of touchdowns, good enough to earn him Grey Cup MVP Honors. One of Mitchell’s TD passed was to Lemar Durant who was named the Top Canadian in the 106th Grey Cup. While the future of Stampeder stars remains unclear with rumours that Bo Levi Mitchell and CFL tackles leader Alex Singleton possibly taking a shot at the NFL, the Stampeders will take the time right now to celebrate the trophy that has eluded them for the past two years.

Over the weekend, the players were accompanied by Police Officers from the SPS, RCMP F Division, the Vancouver Police Department and Odd Squad Productions, as they toured East Hastings Street and the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver to learn more about the effects of drugs. The players spoke to many people on the street who shared their stories and messages about substance abuse. Throughout the remainder of the school year, both Police and Blades players will jointly present to students in grades 6-8 in Saskatoon about the importance of making healthy lifestyle choices, and the risks and dangers associated with drug abuse. Last year, Project Face-off spoke to approximately 1800 youth in 20 schools across Saskatoon. Project Faceoff has been running since the 2004-2005 season.

Prairie Spirit Recognized For Leadership In Music Education Prairie Spirit School Division and its staff have been recognized provincially and nationally for innovative work in music education. Prairie Spirit was awarded the Premier’s Board of Education Award for Innovation and Excellence in Education at the Saskatchewan School Boards Association annual meeting on November 16 in Regina. The award was presented in recognition of the Division’s innovative work in music education, called Resonate. “A culture of music is growing throughout Prairie Spirit School Division and this brings us great pride and joy,” said Sam Dyck, Prairie Spirit Board Chair. “The Board is very proud of this innovative approach that supports equitable access to music education in the Division.” Resonate started in the school division in 2015 and is designed to be an inclusive approach to music programming. Resonate promotes music education through a number of channels or outlets, including a student music conference, teacher professional development, performances and other events. Resonate is designed to increase student engagement and develop communities of young musicians. This work is led in the school division by Dave Carter, Coordinator, Kendra Worman, Music Education Facilitator, and a team of teachers. “In Prairie Spirit School Division, music matters and music is for everyone! In fact, music makes it better!” said Lori Jeschke, Director of Education. The annual Resonate Student Music Conference encourages students from around the Division in grades 7 through 12 to become more engaged in music and to provide students with access to music opportunities not available in their own schools and communities. The inaugural two-day conference was held in 2015, with 170 Prairie Spirit students registered from 19 different schools. The conference has continued to grow and expand to include three days and over 260 students from Prairie Spirit and other school divisions in 2018. The conference provides students with the opportunity to choose their sessions from a variety of options, based on their musical interests. These sessions are presented by music industry professionals, designed for students with a range of musical ability and knowledge. Session topics have included: song writing, guitar, drumming, digital recording, instrument repair, hip hop, jamming, wind band and many others. Since its inception, Resonate has grown to include a Resonate Junior Conference for students in Kindergarten through Grade 6 and various live events and workshops throughout the school year. Resonate encourages students to explore musical genres, styles and instruments, for both students with music experience and for those who have not had any musical training or experience. Through Resonate, students are finding their passion for music and the Division is providing authentic opportunities for students to perform. In 2017, the impact of Resonate was featured in The Teacher Project, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation video series, in a video called “Austin’s Story”. Developed in 1999, the Premier’s Award recognizes educational innovations and improvements focused on student achievement that have been advanced or directed by boards of education. The $3,000 prize is to be used to support or extend the innovation or project.
