Lion’s Club Best Kept Secret Submitted by Doug Ward
19052WW0 19053WW0 19053WW1
Did you know that the Lions Foundation of Canada provides Dog Guides for Canadians with different medical or physical disabilities for no cost!!! Last year they provided over 200 life changing Dog Guides for families across Canada. Also, Lions Clubs sponsor clients to go to Oakville, Ont. to be bonded with their trained Dog Guide to make sure it is the right one for them….again at no cost to the individual/companion with the disability. Normally it costs $25000 to $30000 to raise, train and place a Dog Guide from birth to about 2yrs. of age when they are ready to go to a person in need. This year a 7th type of Dog Guide was added – Support Dog Guide – these dogs provide support in traumatic situations, or courtroom comfort for an individual providing difficult disclosure!! This is on top of the six disciplines they have been providing for over 35 years (Hearing, Vision, Seizure Response, Diabetic Alert and Service dogs for people with a physical disability). The Lions Foundation Dog Guide Program is run without government funding and all monies are raised donations to the over 300 Walk for Dog Guides in Canada, Corporate donations and fund raisers. The Title sponsor “Pet Valu” supplies food and necessities for the dogs. There are at least eight Guide Dogs coming to Saskatchewan this year. Four are going to Saskatoon and one to Martensville, Regina, Wadena and Langenburg. On May 26 the Martensville & District Lions Club will be having their 5th Annual Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides at the Heritage Centre/Lions Park at 415 6th Ave. South (NEW LOCATION) with washrooms, playground and spray park available for kids. Registration is at 2:00pm, walk 3:00pm followed by a barbeque. There will be doggie bags for the dogs as well as door prizes and a raffle. If you can’t make it you can donate online at www. walkfordogguides.com, go to Martensville and sponsor the walk or walker. We will be collecting recyclables as well. If you want to donate them to the walk, bring them on walk day or we can pick up if you have too many (we have collected over $1400 so far). For more info. or donation brochures pick up at your local pet stores, off-leash parks, Pet Valu in Warman or call Lion Doug Ward at 306-491-8914. THIS IS OUR LIONS CLUBS 40th ANNIVERSARY so help make it the best one so far.

Passions Beauty Salon Launches Prime Hair Brand Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Chelsey Harder, Karissa Moore and Karey Bloodworth created a winning mother/ daughters combination when the three women joined forces to create a hair product line that they are proud to stand behind. Both Harder and Moore have worked in the salon industry for years and decided that they wanted to create a line of products that they could be proud to not only use on their own clients, but something that could be shared with stylists from across the country. On Friday, May 10th, the ladies hosted a launch for Prime Hair Brand at the Sheraton Hotel and invited industry professionals to attend and learn more about their product line. “We wanted to create a brand with quality products that perform, but also to create a company that offers different things such as education, rewards and support for the salons and stylists – to create a culture that brings stylist together to support one another, and looking around tonight, I feel that we have done just that,” Moore stated. “We are so excited to be on this journey and to be selling across Saskatchewan. We hope to be launching across Canada in the next couple of months,” Harder said. For more information about Prime Hair Brand, visit ‘Prime Hair Brand’ on Facebook or www. primehairbrand. com.

Save Water and Save on Your Utility Bills! Water Conservation Tips
• Water your lawn deeply, but not more than once a week. During periods of extended rain, water even less frequently. • Water new lawns every other day until the grass reaches 5 cm; then water less frequently. • Set a tuna can in each of your sprinkler zones and time how long it takes to fill it with water. That’s how long you should run your sprinkler once a week if your lawn is dry. • Use drip irrigation and/or sprinkler systems that are timed to turn on and off automatically. Remember to turn them off if it’s raining. • Don’t water your lawn during the hottest time of the day. Instead, water early in the morning or in the evening. Don’t water when it’s rainy or windy. • Check the sprinkler position to make sure you don’t waste water by watering the street, sidewalks or driveway. • Xeriscape Landscaping – Group plants according to their watering needs. Plant watersaving plants, trees and shrubs. Use mulch to retain moisture in the soil. All of this can save 10-35 litres of water per minute. • When mowing your lawn, only cut the top 1/3 of the grass and leave clippings behind. They will help the soil retain moisture and provide natural fertilizer. • Wash your car at the car wash. Washing at home with a hose for ten minutes uses 300 litres of water and sends soap, oil and other chemicals to the river through storm drains. At a car wash, run-off is captured and disposed of properly. • Use a broom when cleaning your driveway or walkway. Washing with a hose uses almost 200 litres of water. Indoor Water Conservation Tips • When you want a drink, don’t let the water run until it is cold. Instead, refrigerate a jug of tap water and save 7-12 litres of water per minute. • Don’t let the tap run when rinsing dishes or washing fruit and vegetables and save 7-12 litres of water per minute. • Don’t pre-rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Instead, scrape off food first using a spatula. Soak very dirty pans and dishes before washing. • Run the dishwasher only when it’s fully loaded and save 70-190 litres of water with each load you eliminate. • Repair any leaks. Turn faucets off firmly. Check and replace any worn out fixtures, washers, O-rings and hose connections. • Avoid using garbage disposals. Disposals require lots of water to operate properly. Instead, start a compost pile. • Save as much as 10 litres of water per minute with a low-flow showerhead. • Don’t overfill and fill less than a full bath. Better yet, you’ll save water by taking a short shower instead. • Replace an old toilet with a water-efficient model and save as much as 14 litres of water per flush and 70 litres per person, per day • Check for leaks in your toilet by adding a few drops of food coloring to the tank. Coloring will appear in the toilet bowl if it’s leaking. • Run the washing machine only when it’s fully loaded. Each load you eliminate saves 70-190 litres of water. • Check washing machine hoses for cracks that could result in leaks. • Use your water meter to check for hidden water leaks. Read the water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, there is a leak.

MHS Voyage Club Returns From Greek & Italian Advenutre Cadderly Kingsbury, Martensville Messenger
The students of the Martensville High Voyage Club got back from an adventure filled two weeks on April 29th. After leaving on the 16th, the students visited nine cities across Italy and Greece, including Athens, Rome, Assisi, Florence and Venice. Lead by everyone’s favourite tour guide, Giuseppe, the group of students spent long days walking and bussing through the streets of Europe’s most iconic cities. The group landed in Milan, jet lagged and tired, on April 17th. From there, they drove to Verona, home of Shakespeare's ‘Romeo and Juliet’. It was there that most of the kids had their first taste of authentic Italian gelato. The second day started off with a boat ride to Venice, and after a glass-blowing demonstration, everyone split off to explore around the beautiful city of Venice. On the way to Florence, the group took a pit stop in Bologna, and saw the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs, where they watched as the sun passes over the meridian line. They then ventured to Pisa, famous for its leaning tower. Finally waking in Florence, the group saw the Duomo, and marvelled at the size. The afternoon was free time, as the groups split off once again to explore the streets. Many leather souvenirs were brought back that night. On the way to Assisi, they stopped to enjoy a traditional Easter brunch in rural Italy. The kids had fun slicing strips of pasta. After a long walk up to the top, they made their way back to the bus, and made their way to Rome. The group spent two days in Rome, training at a gladiator camp, seeing the Colosseum, Pantheon, Pompeii, and Trevi Fountain. With Rome being the final stop in Italy, the group set off on a ferry to Greece. They woke up at four am and arrived on the shores of Greece at six. From there, they visited the Greek Meteora and hiked up the mountains to spend an hour touring through a Greek Orthodox church. The last couple days were slower, and more relaxed. The group saw the Temple of Apollo, the Parthenon, and the Herodes Theatre. The flight back was tiring, and everyone was ready to go home and see their families. Christina Muller, a student on the trip, said that her favourite part of the trip was exploring by herself, and having freedom with her friends. “I felt like I had a lot of freedom as I learned a lot about myself and others. I also loved exploring with my friends and learning about how other cultures live.” “My favourite place was Florence, because it was so darn cute,” said Muller. “I liked the way the buildings looked, and it gave a a good, calming vibe about the whole area.”
ABOVE: Approximately 40 students, teachers and chaperones embarked on an adventure through Italy and Greece from April 16th to April 29th. Students had the opportunity to see many famous landmarks, experience a different culture and make some everlasting memories. Gracie Paradis agreed, saying that her favourite part was developing new friendships throughout the trip. “My favourite place was Greece because of how peaceful and beautiful it was.” Paradis said. Overall, the students think that this experience was both fun and life changing. Many spoke of coming back with friends, family, or significant others. If anyone is thinking about signing up, they’re encouraged to do it. For more information about the Voyage Club, contact Martensville High School at (306) 931-2230 or mhs@ spiritsd.ca.

Strong Need Forecast for Seniors Housing in Martensville Over the Next Decade
The City of Martensville has released the Martensville Seniors Affordable Housing and Care Project Functional Plan along with the Martensville Housing Need and Demand Market Assessment Report and Martensville Demographic and Seniors Market Segments Supplement. The Functional Plan included a market review, demographic modelling, stakeholder discussions, feasibility assessment, and business plan for an affordable and seniors housing opportunity. “The City of Martensville is focused on supporting growth and delivering a great quality of life for its residents. Housing is the cornerstone for current and future residents, families, seniors, students, and individuals wanting to live in a thriving community,” said Martensville Mayor Kent Muench. “The Functional Plan was developed to determine the opportunities and the path to meeting the future housing needs of Martensville.” The Martensville Seniors Affordable Housing and Care Project Functional Plan forecast a base need for an estimated 2,498 to 3,658 additional dwelling units including the housing needs for seniors between 2016 and 2028 with an average annual growth rate of 208.2 to 304.8 total dwellings growth per annum over the next decade. Seniors housing is estimated to represent about 38.0% of the new houses needed in the community or 1,393 units geared to citizens 65 years and older between 2016 and 2028 or on average 116.1 net additional seniors’ dwellings per year. The Martensville Seniors Affordable Housing and Care Project Functional Plan was prepared by Preferred Choice Development Strategists with support from the City of Martensville. “Martensville has a consistent history of strong population growth and housing development,” noted James Leier with Preferred Choice. “The city is well positioned to continue to be a national leader in housing growth over the next decade.” “The City of Martensville was looking to determine the community housing needs for families and people of all ages from affordable to market housing,” stated Martensville Community Economic Development Manager Dillon Shewchuk. “The findings of this project will be utilized to encourage, facilitate, and assist developers, builders, and proponents to advance housing projects to address the projected housing needs of Martensville over the next several years.” A copy of the Martensville Seniors Affordable Housing and Care Project Functional Plan is available at Martensville.ca under ‘Planning for the Future’ along with the Martensville Housing Need and Demand Market Assessment) and Martensville Demographic and Seniors Market Segments Supplement.

Provincial Politics with
Murray Mandryk
Carbon Tax Win May Be Far Away
Scott Moe has lost the carbon tax fight, although this may be a temporary setback as the Saskatchewan Premier suggests. There will be similar court challenges in Manitoba and Ontario, culminating with a likely challenge before the Supreme Court of Canada that Moe feels confident will overturn the 3-2 Saskatchewan Court of Appeal. Even before any of that happens, there is a federal election this fall in where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government may be defeated by Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives. The polls now suggest the tide has turned on the Trudeau government and not just in the West. It is certainly Moe’s fondest hope that the Liberals lose this fall - something that Moe has all but outright stated, but what if that doesn’t happen? The election is still five months away and a lot can happen between now and then. Given that what we are seeing now is only a few percentage point spread between the Liberals and Conservative, a Scheer win is hardly a sure thing. That leaves Moe with the notion of future victories in other courts. Unfortunately, contrary to Moe’s Stanley Cup analogy, court decisions in other provinces mean little. Moreover, given the strength in the majority ruling of the Saskatchewan court, there is little to suggest courts in other provinces will come to conclusions that are much different. “Neither level of government has exclusive authority over the environment,” the Saskatchewan court wrote, in its 155-page decision. “As a result, Parliament can legislate in relation to issues such as GHGs so long as it stays within the four corners of its prescribed subject matters and the provinces can do the same so long as they stay within their prescribed areas of authority.” The Court of Appeal majority ruling went on to discount Saskatchewan’s argument that Ottawa can’t enact statutes in one province and not another or that it is overreaching by using the Constitution’s Peace, Order and Good Government (POGG) tenant of our Constitution to justify the tax or that the carbon tax is a “tax” and not a price on pollution. “Parliament does have authority over a narrower POGG subject matter; the establishment of minimum national standards of price stringency for GHG emissions,” the majority opinion stated. With all this, it’s also likely overly optimistic for Moe to think that there will a different outcome when the Supreme Court hears the same argument and those arguments before the Supreme Court may not be heard for years, anyway. That leaves a change in government as the most realistic way to end the carbon tax. While this seems a distinct possibility, what happens if it doesn’t? Do all our issues go away? Not really. For starters, SaskPower has already made significant commitments to reducing GHG by 40 per cent by 2030 - a move that means shuddering coal-fired electrical power generation at Boundary Dams 4 and 5 and while SaskPower is not meeting those GHG reduction targets now, make no mistake things are changing with or without Trudeau’s carbon tax. So even if we do see an end to the carbon tax, we may not see an end to this battle.
MLA Report With Nancy Heppner Balancing Rights of Rural Land Owners For me and my colleagues, the Spring Sitting of the Legislature has been a busy season of representing our constituents and constituencies, proposing ideas, engaging in debate and passing legislation to improve the lives of Saskatchewan people. The Government of Saskatchewan is passing legislation that better balances the rights of rural land owners and members of the public. Most notably, it moves the onus of responsibility from rural land owners to individuals seeking to access their property. Under the new legislation, those wishing to access a rural land owner’s property for recreational purposes will need to first gain access from the land owner. Land owners will be able to provide consent for activities on their land through posted signs. We believe this will promote communication with rural land owners, while still giving Saskatchewan people the opportunity to take advantage of our rural landscapes for outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and hiking. The legislation will come into force after the necessary regulations are developed. Innovation Saskatchewan is working with the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities to develop a technological solution to promote contact between land owners and those seeking access to private property. The Innovation Challenge will select a successful applicant to develop their solution over a 16-week residency period. More Support For Mental Health One of the highlights of the 2019 Provincial Budget is our government’s record investment in mental health and addictions services. Recently, we announced that Saskatchewan paramedics and other first responders will benefit from $250,000 in funding for mental health and addictions programming. EMS providers and volunteer medical first responders are on the frontlines of medical care and are exposed to a high number of stressful situations. This funding will help to set up supports that best address their mental health needs.
Standing Up For Saskatchewan From market access and equalization to pipelines and the carbon tax, your Saskatchewan Party government is standing up for Saskatchewan. We are standing up to protect and open market access for Saskatchewan exports; to fix Canada’s flawed Equalization program; and against harmful federal government policies, like Bills C-48 and C-69, which threaten industries and families in our province. While we are disappointed with the recent ruling at the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal, we will continue to stand up on behalf of the people across our province who are opposed to the federal government’s ineffective, job-killing carbon tax. The Court of Appeal ruling was a 3-2 split decision. Two judges provided a detailed, dissenting opinion that the carbon tax is unconstitutional. There are strong grounds for an appeal and we look to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. We are grateful for all of the organizations and the provinces that intervened in this case on Saskatchewan's side, and we are grateful for Saskatchewan Justice and our two outstanding constitutional lawyers who presented Saskatchewan's case. Meanwhile, other provinces are also proceeding with their own court challenges. Saskatchewan plans to intervene in each of these cases. The Trudeau carbon tax is bad economic policy; it is bad environmental policy; and our government’s fight against it will continue. Our province already has a plan – a Prairie Resilience plan – to fight climate change; to reduce emissions; and to do it without a carbon tax. The NDP has called our fight against the carbon tax “a The Martensville Messenger welcomes letters to the editor for publication. Letters pointless crusade”. Their leader even said they “applaud” the must be signed and a phone number and/or email address included so the writer’s Trudeau carbon tax. These comments prove that the NDP is identity can be verified. ALL letters are the opinion of the writer and NOT the out of touch with Saskatchewan. Martensville Messenger.

Shanine Sealey, Martensvlle Messenger
Local RCMP members attended a call on May 12th at 2:55pm regarding a two vehicle accident at the corner of Baycroft Drive and Centennial Drive North in Martensville. Calls like these are a common occurrence for emergency crews; however, that will be a day that will always stick out for Martensville residents Wayne and Teresa Duquesne. What started out as a typical day quickly turned into a situation that required some quick thinking and lifesaving actions. The Duquesne’s were waiting at the stop sign located at the intersection when they were suddenly jarred by the impact of someone rear ending their vehicle. “When I looked back at the vehicle that hit us, I could see that the driver was slumped over and laying on the passenger,” Wayne explained. He then requested that his wife call 911 and sprang into action. Upon exiting his car, Wayne knew immediately that the 69-year-old driver was in medical distress. The car that struck them was still in drive and the tires were spinning, so Wayne asked the passenger to reach over and turn the car off. The vehicle began rolling backwards, and Wayne managed to get the door open, hit the brakes and pull the emergency brake to ensure the vehicle would remain motionless. “I then checked on the driver who was unconscious and not breathing. I checked for a pulse and felt nothing so that is when I decided to pull him out of the car and start CPR. After 5 or 6 rounds of compressions, his heart started and he began breathing on his own,” Wayne explained. It was then that Reg LePage from Wrench Fitness arrived on the scene with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). “I put the device on him and at that point, his heart stopped again and he wasn’t breathing. That is when we used the AED and the shock of it helped to get him breathing again and he had a good pulse. Shortly after, the paramedics showed up and took over.” This is not the first time that Wayne, who took first aid training in high school when he was training to be a life guard, has been required to perform CPR. “I have done CPR once back in college when a good friend of mine had a heart attack. Unfortunately it did not have the same result and he passed away. That experience has definitely made a huge impact on my life.” Since the incident, Wayne has been in contact with the wife of the driver who required CPR, and is relieved to hear that he is doing well thus far. “I wish him all the best in his recovery and hope to have a coffee with him one day.” “I am so thankful for everyone’s assistance – from my wife Teresa on the phone with 911 and all of the by-standers with their support. The quick response from Reg and the Wrench staff with the AED definitely saved this man’s life.”

Martensville Eligible For Additional Retail Liquor Store The Government of Saskatchewan has finalized its policy for allocating new retail liquor permits. “When the government announced its new retail liquor model in November 2015, we committed to establishing a population-based matrix for allocating additional retail liquor store permits, once the transition to the new expanded private liquor retail model was complete,” Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) Gene Makowsky said. “This new process will take effect in the coming weeks, once the required regulatory amendments are complete.” Under the policy, communities require a minimum population of 500 to qualify for a retail liquor store, with additional stores according to the population matrix. The maximum number of liquor stores in a community with a population up to 275,000 will be 40. Based on latest the population statistics, it means no new liquor store permits are currently available in Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Yorkton and North Battleford but cities like Melfort, Martensville, Weyburn and Estevan would be eligible for one additional retail store. The process to allocate additional liquor store permits will only be triggered if someone expresses interest in a community where there is an available permit. In such cases, an auction will be conducted online with real-time bidding. As is normal process, applicants will also be required to meet all terms associated with holding a retail store permit. “We believe this new process of allocating retail liquor permits strikes a good balance between ensuring the public has adequate access, while also setting limits to the overall number of retail liquor outlets based on the population of the community,” Makowsky said.

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS
The Conference Finals of the NHL playoffs are underway and goals are being scored in bunches. San Jose’s Logan Couture is leading the way with 4 of the Sharks 8 goals through two games. San Jose and St. Louis are tied at one win each after those two games in the Shark Tank. The Sharks took game one by a score of 6-3 but the Blues came back in game two with a 4-2 win to tie the series. Game three shifts the series back to St. Louis on May 15th. In the East the Boston Bruins may have slammed the brakes on the Carolina Hurricanes playoff run as they now hold a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. Games one and two were dominated by the Bruins with a 5-2 win in game one and a 6-2 win in game two. After the brutal loss in game two Carolina captain Justin Williams said “Sometimes you gotta eat a poop sandwich, it doesn’t taste good, but you have to chew on it for a little bit.” Not sure if that boosted the teams spirits or not but they definitely played better in game 3. However it still wasn’t enough as they fell 2-1 in Carolina. Now on the verge of getting swept, the Canes look to solve Bruins goalie Tuuka Rask in game 4 in Carolina on the 16th. In the World Hockey Championships Team Canada didn’t get off to the start they had hoped for after a 3-1 loss to Finland in their opening game. They did rebound however with a massive 8-0 blowout of Great Britain and squeaked out a 6-5 win against Slovakia on Monday. Vegas Golden Knight Mark Stone netted the game winner for Canada with just under 2 seconds to play in regulation to get the 3 points for a regulation win rather than 2 for an OT win. Team Canada sits in 3rd place in Group A with a 2-0-01 record and 6 points. They trail only Finland who is second with a 2-0-1-0 record for 7 points and the group leading German team who has an undefeated 3-0-0-0 record and 9 points to open their tournament. Canada has three round robin games remaining as they play France on Thursday, Germany on Saturday, and Denmark for their final game on Monday.
