Martensville Summer Market Preparing for 2023 Season

Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger

The Martensville Summer Market is getting ready for another season of providing a variety of local shopping options to the community. The first day of the market will take place on Saturday, June 24th from 10am-2pm in the parking lot of the Martensville Corner Store, located at 301 Centennial Drive North (across from Canadian Tire).

There are currently approximately ten vendors signed up for each week, who will have items such as baking, breads, vegetables, jewelry, crochet, sewing, spices, clothing and more.

There is still room for more vendors, specifically someone that would be able to provide fruit, meat, eggs, plants and anything else that is family-friendly. Vendors are required to provide their own table/shelter and are recommended to have liability insurance. The vendor vehicles can be parked right in their stall, so there is no need to carry products and stall materials.

“The location is high traffic and very visible for the public. Martensville has a strong regular customer base, but they appreciate it if the same vendors are there every time,” Market Coordinator Marjan Petter said.

This year the market saw a name change from the Martensville Farmer’s Market to the Martensville Summer

Market. “We chose to change the name because the market is not only strictly a farmers market. It becomes more difficult to have vendors who are selling farm products and homemade products and with the name change, this year, we are allowing vendors with a home based business like Norwex, etc.,” Petter explained.

There are plans to host a Children’s Day this season, which will be free of charge for children to sell products on that day; however, no date has been set at this time.

Martensville Food Pantry Continues to Find New Ways to Support Area Residents

Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger

The Martensville Food Pantry, previously known as the Martensville Free Pantry has undergone more than just a name change recently. In addition to this, they have also become incorporated and are currently in the process of obtaining a Registered Charitable status. With the incorporation, there is now five board members from the 15 volunteers involved within various roles in the MFP.

According to Linda Ward, MFP Coordinator/ Treasurer, the reason for the name change was to help them become more visible in the area as a food bank. “In talking with people in various settings, we found that many did not know there was a food pantry here,” Ward said.

Hampers are provided to area residents every two weeks, with approximately 15 hampers going out each time serving around 50 adults and children, as well as numerous pets that are supplied food by the SPCA. Throughout the holidays, such as Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving, these numbers increase, with this past Easter seeing a total of 37 hampers provided, supporting 62 children and 69 adults. A group of volunteers gets together to package hampers on Wednesdays, which are available for pick-up between 11am and 1pm.

Each hamper include a variety of products including meat, vegetables, pasta and sauce, soup, crackers, cereal, children’s snacks, dairy and eggs when available. All items are provided based on donations, so available products can vary.

Relying on donations means that items can run low at times and currently, the MFP is in need of donations of items such as spaghetti, crushed tomatoes, canned vegetables and fruit, rice, instant potatoes, pork and beans, soda crackers, cereal and other non-perishable items.

In addition to the food hampers, there is also an area within the hallway of the Martensville Civic Centre that has free food available for pick-up. If you or someone you know is in need of a food hamper, call/text (306) 280-1255, email martensvillefoodpantry@gmail. com, or message them via Facebook at ‘Martensville Food Pantry’.

Future plans for the MFP include support for seniors and a pet food drive with the SPCA. “It has come to our attention that a number of seniors have a need for food security; however, they have no transportation. In the fall we will start-up a delivery service for seniors on a temporary basis,” Ward added.

Saskatoon Police Warn of Ongoing Scam

Members of the Saskatoon Police Service Economic Crime Section are alerting the public to a recent series of fraudulent activity in the community that has resulted in the arrest of an Ontario man.

On May 15, 2023, police received a report of victimization through the Family/Grandparent Emergency Scam; the suspect attended to the victim’s residence and defrauded them of several thousand dollars. Investigators from the SPS’ Economic Crime Section quickly identified a person of interest and following a tip from the public, a 20-year-old man from Ontario was arrested at a hotel in the 400 block of 20th Street East; he is charged with fraud over $5,000. As a result of evidence seized upon his arrest and a subsequent search warrant executed at the hotel, investigators believe there may be additional victims both locally and in other communities that have not yet reported to police.

This investigation is ongoing and it is possible that additional charges may be laid. If you have received a suspicious call and suspect fraud but have not been victimized, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre; if you have become the victim of fraud, contact your local police or report it to the Saskatoon Police Service online or by calling 306-975-8300.

Background:The Family/Grandparent Emergency Scam involves a potential victim, often an older adult, receiving a phone call from someone claiming to be a family member in an emergency and requiring money for various purposes. The fraudsters may also work in tandem and connect the victim to a second person claiming to be a police officer, lawyer, doctor, or other authority. The payment is often requested as cash, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. This is a scam! Any legitimate authority would never make such requests.

If you receive a suspicious phone call, ask important questions of the caller to verify their identity but refrain from offering additional details yourself. Alternatively, hang up and call that family member directly to verify their location and well-being and/or connect with other relatives to fact check the call. If the caller is claiming to be law enforcement or hospital staff, hang up and call that authority directly to verify the information. Fraudsters leverage urgency and panic to coerce the victim into complying with their request. Always use extreme caution, especially when being asked to send a form of currency.

Moe is Right - Net-Zero Impossible for SaskPower

Not all Premier Scott Moe’s fights with the federal Liberal government have been completely necessary, or even all that productive. Of course, there are dyed-in-the-wool supporters of Moe and his Saskatchewan Party who would take umbrage with this and there are many more casual political observers in this province who have their own valid reasons to oppose most everything Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has done. There are reasons why the Liberals and the name Trudeau are not popular here.

As such, it’s been good politics for Moe to simply oppose most everything Trudeau does; whether it’s the carbon tax that Liberals do keep raising because they believe it’s somehow good for them or opposing single-use plastics that local rural and urban municipalities support because they are clogging up landfills, but while politicians know the value of telling people what they think they want to hear, the collective wisdom out there is usually wise enough to figure out what does make sense and is in their interests.

Maybe Moe and his Sask. Party ministers haven’t exactly been known to pick their spots, but there are times when the battle it chooses with Ottawa is the right one. Last week’s opposition to federal government's goal of requiring electrical grids to be net-zero by 2035; something Moe described as "impossible and unaffordable"; is clearly the fight to pick.

To make his case (or perhaps to clearly distinguish this fight from the usual political fights) Moe let SaskPower President Rupen Pandya do the initial talking. Pandya explained SaskPower now generates 65 per cent of its current 5,437 megawatt current generating capacity from non-revenue fossil fuels.

Only 25 per cent from coal, but a perhaps surprising 40 per cent from natural gas that contribute less to greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). The remainder comes from the following sources: 16 per cent come through hydro; 11 per cent through wind; five per cent power agreements like buying hydroelectric power from Manitoba, and; three per cent from solar and other sources like net-metering.

While we could buy a little more green power from Manitoba, Pandya noted that province only has 100- to 200more megwatts sell before it reaches its capacity. Pandya further noted renewables are also exceedingly expensive and less reliability on calm, cloudy and cold days when SaskPower must still maintain 80 per cent of its baseload power from more reliable sources.

Moreover, that baseline continues to grow and Pandya suggests which Saskatchewan will need more than 7,000 megawatts by 2035, given its current population and economic growth.

To simply replace that 65 per cent of power generated from fossil fuels (net-zero by 2035) SaskPower would require $46 billion in capital spending; something that would hike your power bills by 107 per cent.

That is, of course, if SaskPower could do things like build small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) in that short 12-year period, which Pandya said is an impossibility.

Hearing the word “impossibility” from Pandya carried more weight than hearing it from Moe, who generally sounded more reasoned last week. “We will not risk plunging our homes, our schools, our hospitals, our special care homes, our businesses into the cold and darkness because of the ideological whims of others,” Moe said.

Well, maybe there was a little political taint. Old habits are hard to break, but Moe is surely not wrong to call the yet-to-be-released clean electricity standards "unrealistic".

As an alternative, Moe released a "Saskatchewan's plan" calling net-zero at SaskPower to achieve net zero by 2050, with Ottawa covering 75 per cent of the cost of Saskatchewan's first small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) and 50 per cent of any further new low-emission renewable power. That does sound reasonable. And in this era where politics is defined by sometimes-less-rational fights, it was a welcomed approach.

MLA Terry Jenson’s Report from the Legislature

Forest Fire Update - As the wildfire situation continues to develop in northern Saskatchewan, we are thinking of all the communities that are going through an incredibly challenging time.

The provincial command has been activated through Saskatchewan Public Safety's Provincial Emergency Operations Centre (PEOC) to assist in wildfire response. The PEOC will provide a central point to co-ordinate the operational response of provincial government ministries, agencies and Crown corporations. Representatives will provide daily technical briefings to the media as the wildfire situation evolves.

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) is ensuring food and fuel are accessible to northern communities by escorting delivery trucks on roads and highways that are currently closed due to fires.

A fire ban has been issued for all Crown lands, provincial parks and the Northern Saskatchewan Administrative District north of Highway 16. Many municipalities also have fire bans in place.

Thank you to all the first responders, volunteers and those working tirelessly to combat these wildfires and keep people safe. To keep up with the latest fire risks and bans, please visit www.saskpublicsafety.ca/emergencies-and-response/wildfirestatus. Residents seeking information about fire bans or evacuations are asked to call the wildfire inquiry line at 1-855-559-5502. Spring Session Wrap-Up - The spring sitting of the Legislature is now complete. Our government passed several bills that will continue our work, creating growth in our province. This spring, the Government of Saskatchewan passed The Saskatchewan First Act. This legislation amends the Constitution of Saskatchewan to clearly confirm our autonomy and assert the province's exclusive legislative jurisdiction over the exploration, development and management of non-renewable natural resources, forestry resources and the generation and production of electricity.

Our government announced Saskatchewan's plan for electricity generation to 2035 and beyond. This plan commits to achieving net-zero by 2050 with an energy mix that ensures reliable baseload power and affordable customer rates. This includes using existing natural gas plant assets to the end of life and working toward small modular reactors, while continuing to expand intermittent power sources, such as wind and solar.

This plan will ensure Saskatchewan's electrical generation is reliable, affordable, sustainable and achievable. Our government will not drive up SaskPower rates for Saskatchewan families to reach the federal government's arbitrary 2035 target. As we move into the summer, you will see work continue on several projects laid out in this year's record $3.7 billion capital budget. These projects will ensure we have the schools, hospitals and highways our growing province needs.

Construction on our provincial highways is in full swing; travellers are reminded to keep an eye out for construction zones and slow down to ensure everyone's safety. Our government has plans to improve 1,000 kilometres (km) of highways this year, for a total of 4,600 km of highways improved over the last four years.

Investments in this year's budget will lay the foundation for further growth throughout the province. Now that the spring sitting of the Legislature is complete, I look forward to connecting with you around the constituency at events throughout the summer. Your thoughts, suggestions and feedback are valuable to me as we continue to build on Saskatchewan's growth.

Weekend Ball Tourney Being Held to Celebrate the Life of Beloved Martensville Resident

Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger

This weekend, the community will come together to celebrate the life of Mike Smith, a well-known resident that touched the hearts of countless others who sadly passed away on May 21st following a hard fought battle against cancer.

A ball tournament dubbed ‘Hit Mike Home’ is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 27th that was initially organized to help raise funds to help with expenses to bring Mike back to his Martensville home, and instead will now be held as a Celebration of Life for Smith. All funds raised through this event will go towards the Smith family to help with expenses incurred during their efforts to bring Mike home. The tournament will now include a slideshow and an opportunity for people to share their stories on how Mike touched their lives.

A ‘Hit Mike Home Fundraiser’ Facebook page has been created, which currently has a wide variety of silent auction items available which can be bid for online, and at the tournament this weekend. Auction items include a bbq, electric fireplace, signed jerseys, fire table, golf package, concert tickets, smoker, bistro set & patio heater, television, doggie daycare package, and much more.

“We are so grateful for the support we have received for this event and could not think of a better way to honour such an amazing man and his family. Mike made such a huge impact on not only the people around him in his day-to-day life, but to anyone that had the privilege of meeting him, even for a moment. Thank you to everyone that has helped out in any way with this event and we encourage everyone to come out. There will be a concession, beer gardens, 50/50, raffle table and silent auction,” ‘Hit Mike Home’ organizer Angie Reddekopp stated.

In addition to the tournament, Warman Fire Rescue will be hosting a Pancake Breakfast and Open House from 8am-11am on Saturday, May 27th, with all donations going towards supporting the Smith family.

“A month before, our Firefighters unanimously decided to pay for all of the supplies ourselves and any donations that came in would go directly to the Smith family. Firefighters are a close community and we always have each other’s backs. In this case, we just wanted to do something for a great firefighter and his family. Mike and the MFD firefighters would do the same for us,” WFR Chief Russ Austin stated.

ABOVE: Mike Smith will be remembered on Saturday, May 27th where a ball tournament and Celebration of Life will be held at Kinsmen Park.

Martensville Curling Club Works on Upgrades During Off-Season

The Martensville Curling Club (MCC) is seeing some upgrades take place which will help reduce dark spots on the ice surfaces for next season. The existing lighting was creating issues with constant tube replacement and bulbs failing which created inconsistent and poor lighting conditions and could not be fixed while the ice was installed. Currently, new high-bay LED lights are being installed which will be maintenance free and create a much brighter environment.

“Over the past couple of years, we have brought in numerous high-end bonspiels and with optimal lighting, this makes our club more attractive to host higher profile events. Many high-rank teams have now been contacting us, wanting to come and play/practice in our facility,” MCC Vice President Don Miller explained.

Improving the lighting was the first step in the upgrades planned for the summer, and now that they are complete, Miller stated that there are plans to upgrade the lounge by resurfacing the tables, repainting the area and installing a new carpet.

This past March, Martensville City Council approved a 60/40 split to help with the lighting upgrade at the local curling club. “The City is always supportive and we appreciate all they have done for us in the past and also moving forward,” Miller said.

The MCC is always looking at new opportunities to offer and as the Club continues to grow, they have introduced new leagues for the community. “Many adults have never thrown a rock and our new leagues allow all ages to come out and try the sport with our “6 week league” which runs in the fall and again after Christmas. Many new teams are local young couples/families who have teamed up with other couples to meet other members of our vibrant community. Many individuals also join on their own and we assist them to find a team to play with.” In addition to this, there is also a junior learn-to-curl program that will run in the fall, with plans to start an actual Junior League after Christmas.

Members of the MCC include teams from Martensville, Warman and Saskatoon and last season, four teams from the MCC became provincial champions and went on to represent Saskatchewan at Nationals, which Miller noted shows that high level of curlers that hail from the MCC.
