Diabetes Awareness Month Kicks Off at Martensville Pharmasave Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
November is Diabetes Awareness Month and with that comes the annual Blue Circle Campaign that will be taking place at Pharmasave locations throughout Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Western Ontario. The campaign kicked off at the Martensville Pharmasave on November 1st with the first blue circle being purchased by Martensville Mayor Kent Muench. Customers shopping at participating locations are offered the option to purchase a blue circle for $2, with all proceeds going to Diabetes Canada. “Raising awareness about an illness like diabetes is important and I really appreciate that the funds are going to families for support. Through awareness like this, it can help build support to live with this illness and hopefully find a cure,” Muench stated. Jeff Grant, who was in attendance to kick-off the Blue Circle campaign on behalf of Pharmasave, explained that the Pharmasave locations look forward to getting involved in this fundraiser, adding that the Martensville location is one of the top fundraising stores. Money raised from the Blue Circle campaign will go towards helping fund D-Camps for children with diabetes and their families. “Diabetes is a very expensive medical condition, so we try to keep our registration fees as low as possible and we do that through the generous corporate support of the business community. We are so thankful that Pharmasave realizes just how vital this campaign is,” Faith Rowland, Account Manager & Community Development for Diabetes Canada stated. D-Camps, which are operated by Diabetes Canada, consist of a typical summer camp setting with activities such as canoeing, swimming, archery and more, but also the opportunity to learn independence and skills to effectively manage their diabetes. “Those that attend can take part in all of the traditional fun things at regular camps but what makes it different is that all of the children have Type I diabetes and the majority of counselors have diabetes. The camp is also attended by a full medical team so parents can rest assured that their child’s medical needs are being met,” said Rowland. D-Camps are held at Camp Quest located at Christopher Lake and can accommodate 80 children each year at summer camp and 17 families at Family Camp. Part of Diabetes Awareness month is to help educate people with information about the disease. Although many people are familiar with the term diabetes, they are not familiar with everything that goes on behind the scenes of those living with diabetes. Erin Kluthe is far too familiar with the struggles that come with diabetes. Kluthe, who is a mother to four children, has two daughters; Miriam (11) and Maggie (7) that have both been diagnosed with Type I Diabetes. Last year Kluthe’s family took part in the Family D-Camp and saw firsthand just how beneficial they can be. “Diabetes can be really isolating, so it was great to meet other families going through the same struggles and learn from each other. These camps really do make a big difference in the lives of the kids that attend because regular camp just isn’t an option. Here, they are able to go off and do their own activities and knowing that there is a trained staff on hand, as a parent, you don’t have to worry about their blood sugar constantly,” Kluthe said. “It is so wonderful that this is an option and I know that a lot of hard work goes into providing these camps for children with diabetes. It can be such a struggle for them feeling like they are different from other kids, so this gives them a sense of self confidence and independence, all the while being able to enjoy being a kid and making new friends that understand their struggles.” Rowland explained that throughout the month of November, there will be numerous initiatives taking place to help spread awareness. One of these events will be taking place on November 3rd with an event that will be geared towards Type I diabetes and for families that have a child living with diabetes. They will also be hosting an advocacy day on November 26th, where they will be speaking with members of the government about making this issue prominent on their agenda. “Our country is looking at a financial risk from diabetes alone with 1 in 4 people being impacted by diabetes or prediabetes.” According to Diabetes Canada, there are currently 314,000 people in Saskatchewan living with diabetes or prediabetes and by 2029 that number will grow to 382,000. Additionally, diabetes will cost Saskatchewan $101 million this year alone.

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 water valves 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 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.
Council Discusses Kinsmen Park Master Plan and Taxi Service
The first City Council meeting of November took place on Tuesday the 5th. Council started the meeting with a delegation from Crosby Hanna regarding the Kinsmen Park Master Plan for Martensville. According to Mayor Muench, the proposed plan has evolved over time. Muench also noted that the total budgetary cost is large so any development would happen in phases. Included in the Agenda for the November 5th meeting was correspondence from Mark Bracken, the Executive Director for Saskatchewan Games Council, which invited Council to consider submitting a bid to become the host community for the 2022 Saskatchewan Games. The year 2022 would mark the 50th anniversary of the games. Council did not believe that the community currently had the facilities in place to take this on; however, would like to look at this option again for the 2026 games, as at that time, Martensville will hopefully have a new recreation facility constructed to better host the event. Dillon Shewchuk, Community Economic Development Manager spoke to Council regarding the renewal of RIIDE’s Vehicle for Hire application with the City of Martensville. RIIDE has been present in the community since last year with two dedicated vehicles in Martensville and an option to grow as large as ten. Shewchuk recommended that Council approve the renewal. Council was in favour of this. Councillor Bob Blackwell requested that an item get added to the agenda regarding the recent sewer line construction on 3rd Avenue South. Due to a lack of communication between contractors and homeowners, residents in the area have been upset over the inconvenience it has caused. Blackwell requested a motion that the affected six homes receive a month of City of Martensville utilities waived.

Cutting Hair For a Cause Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
On Saturday, November 2nd, members of the Paws Republic Boarding, Training & Grooming Centre staff had some fun after raising money for a great cause. Conrad Keller of Paws Republic selflessly volunteered himself as an incentive to have people donate money that will go to SCAT Street Cat Rescue in Saskatoon. SCAT is a charitable organization that is set in place to rescue homeless cats and kittens off the streets of Saskatoon and surrounding areas. Keller, who has been growing his hair out for the past three years, and has not shaved his beard in five years, decided to encourage some donations by offering to shave both his head and face through the fundraiser. If they were able to raise $200, then Keller would shave his beard. If $400 was raised, then both the hair and beard would be shaved, and if over $500 came in through donations, there would be a draw with everyone that donated included and the winner would get to choose Keller’s new haircut. A total of $539 was donated and therefore Keller’s new do was chosen for him. The chosen style was a Viking inspired look and a clean shaven face. Although there were some nerves at first, Keller was a great sport and was more than happy to do it for a great cause. “Thank you to everyone that was willing to donate for SCAT. It’s a wonderful organization that we have been working with for years and I honestly cannot thank you enough.” In addition to raising money for SCAT, Keller’s long locks will be donated to 360 Hair, an organization that provides wigs for cancer patients.

MHS Students Invited You To Be Their Guest Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
A talented group of Martensville High School (MHS) students came together to bring to life one of Disney’s classic tales ‘Beauty and the Beast’. The MHS Choir put on an exceptional show for all that attended on November 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The show consisted of a familiar tale and songs that were performed seamlessly by the cast. Halfway through the production, there was a short intermission where those in attendance could indulge in delicious desserts provided by the MHS Commercial Cooking students. A breathtaking set design and one intricate costume after another had the audience captured from the beginning. MHS Teacher Mary Lou Beck, who directed the play and contributed to the creation of the set along with her husband Dan Beck and MHS Teacher and Production Manager Mike Kaweski, was impressed with the dedication that each student showed in preparation for this weekend. “These students worked so hard and they always gave their best. Each day they were so excited and enthusiastic about it so it has been a wonderful experience,” Beck said. After speaking with students that performed in the musical, there was an ongoing excitement that filled the air and a very real sense of camaraderie that had been created after working so closely together. For some of the students, this was their first musical, such as Aaron Charpentier, who took on the role of Chip and the experience was such a great one, that it will definitely not be the last. Many of the students had similar thoughts about their time spent working on ‘Beauty and the Beast’. “This experience has been amazing and it was a great opportunity to make friends and express our love for theatre,” Kaelyn Coulthard, who played Belle and Mrs. Potts, stated. Kamryn Thompson, who played Madame de la Grande Bouche, noted that, “This experience has been very eye opening and I have gained a family from this and will continue to do more musicals in the future.” A memorable trio of Silly Girls consisting of Arwen Claypool, Janaya MacKenzie and Chelsea Sander brought a humorous lightness to the performance. Sander who has been performing in school theatre since she was in Grade 5 talked about how much she had learned from this particular performance. MacKenzie discussed how much fun the entire cast had preparing together. Familiar roles within the play consisted of the ever-popular candlestick Lumiere, (Anaya Elias) and the feather duster Babette (MaKenna Hamm). “This was my first high school play and it was so incredible to come together with people that share my passion for acting and singing,” Hamm said. Elias shared a similar thought and talked about how thankful she was to share the stage with people that have the same interests and that the shared experience turned them into one big family. For Chantal Brooman (Enchantress/Wolf/Villager), being a part of this performance opened her eyes to how beneficial opportunities like this can be for students. “It is a really great way to meet new people and find somewhere that you can fit in. It is a way to express who you are and to try out new things in life.” With many of the regular performers from previous years having graduated last year, this year consisted of quite a few new faces. “This experience has been a really interesting one because we have a lot of new people in this musical, but it has been awesome getting to know everyone,” Adrian Skelton (Maurice) said. For Anson Kappel, this musical opened up a new opportunity for him as his first chance to play an antagonist. “It was so much fun playing something outside of what I would normally do.” The MHS Choir puts on a performance each year, so watch for news of next year’s production. You will not be disappointed.

Mental Health Workshop Provides Wide Array of Knowledge Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
On Saturday, November 2nd, approximately 18 people gathered at Bravo Dance Co. to take part in a mental health workshop organized by Judy Jaunzems-Fernuk, B.Ed., M.Ed., PhD (Candidate) and Martensville resident Heather Isaac. Jaunzems-Fernuk noted that the group that attended came in interested in learning about managing and/or supporting mainly anxiety and depression related concerns, whether for themselves or for children in their care. “Participants expressed concerns around youth, from elementary through to high school, who have expressed or exhibited anxiety or suicidal ideation and they wanted to get ahead of this by engaging in activities that helped to build their own knowledge, as an awareness piece, and to act as knowledgeable mentors and advocates for young people.” A number of the participants expressed interest in Jaunzems-Fernuk hosting a group workshop geared towards children and youth, which Jaunzems-Fernuk said she would be happy to participate in. “A smaller group setting can be conducive to unpacking essential avenues for coping and managing stress, and support building boundaries for effective peer support, when it comes to being there for others who may be struggling.” A variety of topics were discussed throughout the day; however Jaunzems-Fernuk said that, “If there was one overall message for parents, youth and families, it would be that a tolerable amount of stress is good for us, and there are
resources available in our communities for when we feel we cannot manage.” Some of these resources include: 911 for emergencies; 811 for health and mental health support; 211 Saskatchewan for emergency / crisis information; and others, including the children’s help phone and their text support lines (phone: 1-800-668-6868 and text: 686868); in addition to information available from the Saskatchewan Health Authority, Mental Health and Addictions, intake and support services line, which can be reached at: 306-6557777. “Each of the aforementioned numbers can connect anyone to appropriate help for the intervention needed, whether for yourself or a loved one. I noted the importance of sharing some of these numbers with children and family members so everyone has access to a lifeline if needed.” Other topics covered included information about the difference between stress and distress, signs and symptoms of mental health disorders, how to support someone with on-going concerns - including supports for those in crisis, learning to build resilience, and much more. The group also learned about how by prioritizing their own health, they can make themselves more available and ready to support others. “When we are caught in a wave of emotion we should do one of three things: DISTRACT ourselves, DELAY any actions, or simply DO NOTHING until the sensation disappears; no mad, sad or scared decisions. Once we ride out the wave, if we continue to feel lost or hopeless, or if ill mental health persists, we should reach out.”
Local Class Teaches Youth Award Winning Talent
The Reflections of Nature Art Show was held in Saskatoon October 26-27 and there was numerous talented artists from Martensville that participated, including feature artists Garry & Connie Rector. This year marked the first time that the annual event had a couple as their feature artist. A student in the local wood carving class, 16 year old Taylor Warren was one of the participants in the weekend event, with this year marking his third year competing in the Reflections of Nature show. Taylor has been doing wood carving for approximately four years and this year walked away with the first place in his category for his age division, as well as best in show for junior carvings. “I got into wood carving after seeing it listed in the Program Guide. I thought I would try it out and have been going since. I knew I was a little interested in it but once I got into the class, I discovered that I really enjoyed it more then I even thought I would,” Taylor said. Being in grade 11, Taylor finds that his schedule makes it a little difficult to do a lot of wood carving outside of the class, but he still makes sure he is in attendance at class each week. “I definitely have plans to continue doing it in the future and competing in more competitions.” All classes that are offered locally are listed in the City of Martensville Program Guides, which are distributed throughout the community each March, August and December.

A&W Partners With Mealshare to Help End Youth Hunger Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Although many of us have likely never heard of Mealshare; this non-profit organization has been on a mission to help end youth hunger throughout the world since 2013. Initially, Mealshare began with four partner restaurants in Alberta and has since grown to include over 500 restaurants across North America. The most recent partnership for this organization is with A&W Canada restaurants, with approximately 45 A&W restaurants in Saskatchewan participating. From October 28th to December 1st, A&W restaurants in Saskatchewan and Ottawa will provide one meal to a youth in need for every Mushroom Mozza Combo purchased. “We’re very excited to partner because we share the same values and are proud to work together to give back to local communities. The support of A&W restaurants in these markets will make a huge impact for Mealshare and for youth in need, adding to the 3.1 million meals served so far by our restaurant partners across Canada and in the US,” said Andrew Hall, Co-Founder of Mealshare. “We are on a mission to live in a world without any hunger, which is an ambitious goal, but we are working towards it and doing our part. The hope is that we can grow up and sit in our rocking chairs one day and tell our grandkids about how youth hunger used to be a problem but it isn’t anymore,” Hall stated. For the Martensville A&W location, the entire staff is excited to be partnering with Mealshare. “We think it is such a great opportunity to help out and the setup is so simple and straightforward. The staff is really excited about it and it is such a good feeling to be able to give back. Nothing additional comes out of the customers pocket, but they get to feel good about helping out youth in need, and enjoy a great meal at the same time,” said Rachelle Buffin of the Martensville A&W location. The local charity that the Martensville A&W will be giving back to will be the Saskatoon Food Bank, and Buffin explained that for every Mushroom Mozza Combo sold, funds will be given back to Mealshare, which will be split between the local food bank and internationally through Save the Children Canada. “A&W loves to be involved with the community, especially when it is local it is so important to us. It is something that we hold dear to our hearts,” added Buffin. To learn more about Mealshare and to locate other restaurants in the area that participate with them, visit https://mealshare.ca/en/.

Moe, Sask. Party Best When Leading With Optimism The Saskatchewan Legislature is sitting again and one wouldn’t necessarily think the politicians returning to the place where they’re the most political would be welcomed, but after a federal election that produced maddening results for Westerners and a whole lot of uncertainty about what lies ahead, it turns out that an upbeat Speech from the Throne is exactly what we needed. The Saskatchewan Party government’s new plan contained a call for 200,000 more people and 100,000 more jobs by 2030 - aggressive goals that will be tough to attain. It took Saskatchewan 19 years, from 2000 until now, to create the last 100,000 jobs added to our workforce. That period included the boom between 2007 and 2011, which is rather telling. While there are always years when we add 10,000+ jobs to the work force, there are also bust years when we lose jobs. It’s always two steps forward, one step back. Similarly, adding another 225,538 people to Saskatchewan to get to 1.4 million (we are now at 1,174,462 people) by 2030 will be exceedingly tough. Yes, the province did meet the Sask. Party’s initial 2007 goal of growing the province by 100,000 people in its first decade in office. In fact, it met that target in less than half time; however, that was during the record resource boom from 2007 to 2001. It seems unlikely that kind of boom happens again anytime soon. The issue isn’t meeting ambitious goals: It’s having the courage to make them in the first place. That’s something that not all governments are willing to do. Moreover, the intangible side effect of all this is it affords the province a little optimism and faith in itself and having a little optimism seems to be exactly what we could all use after a miserable election campaign that has resulted in a minority Liberal government that’s now frustrating so many.
Provincial Politics with
Murray Mandryk That minority government has no Liberal representation in Alberta or Saskatchewan to serve at the cabinet table, but, as Premier Scott Moe put it, the problem is bigger than that. It isn’t so much who is in the next Liberal minority government cabinet, but “what that cabinet actually does,” Moe said. There is legitimacy to Moe’s frustrations about pipelines and the carbon tax and added fear that a Justin Trudeau minority federal government will not address them; however, maybe it’s about here where Moe needs to pump the brakes a little … or at least draw on the very same hope and optimism his government demonstrated in its very own throne speech. So frustrated are people out here with the federal election results that it’s given rise to talk of Saskatchewan and/ or Alberta becoming independent … or perhaps joining the United States. There was a meeting in Lloydminster to explore ways to “deal with the situation Western Canada finds itself in after the election results." Obviously, Moe is not lending his support to the #weexit movement that’s had 200,000 hits on its Facebook page. He said his position is that “Saskatchewan should be in a strong and united Canada.” Moe has also stopped short of outright condemning western separation. Instead, he is using the threat posed by this anger and this movement as grounds for a “new deal” within the confederation. The Saskatchewan Premier needs to be careful here. He needs to understand how this can add fuel to the prairie fire. Moe is right to point out the frustration and the need for Trudeau to address them, but a far more effective way to accomplish this is a clear message that can best accomplish this in stable Canadian federation. Moe and others need to draw on the optimism in their own throne speech.
MLA Report With Nancy Heppner Working to Improve Highway Safety
Our government remains committed to reducing the number of traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities by improving traffic safety. More than $9 billion has been invested in highway infrastructure over the past 12 years, repairing and replacing 14,000 kilometres of Saskatchewan highways and 280 bridges. Our government will continue to improve highway safety throughout the province with more passing lanes and a commitment of $100 million over five years to improve safety at highway intersections. While improving highway conditions improves driver safety, the dangers posed by impaired and distracted driving remain a serious concern. Over the past number of years, our government has introduced several measures to reduce impaired driving rates in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan children are now learning about the dangers of impaired driving well before they ever get behind the wheel. Our government is proud to partner with Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada by providing $700,000 to bring the interactive mobile classroom “SmartWheels” to Saskatchewan schools. In the coming year, this will help educate thousands of students in over 100 schools about the risks of alcohol, drugs and impaired driving. While there is more work to do, we are seeing results. In our most recent progress report, the number of fatalities caused by impaired driving is down 45 per cent and the number of people injured has fallen by 64 per cent since 2008. While impaired driving numbers are falling, distracted driving offenses are not. Distracted driving is one of the leading factors in collisions and injuries from automobile crashes in Saskatchewan. During the fall legislative session, our government will introduce tougher distracted driving penalties to make driving safer for everyone on Saskatchewan’s streets and highways.

THIS WEEK WEEK THIS IN SPORTS SPORTS IN
Well I wrapped up the CFL regular season with 57 correct predictions and 24 incorrect, and with the unpredictable starts and crazy games throughout the season I think that is pretty good! The final week for some teams in the CFL started on Friday with the Ottawa RedBlacks finally ending what has been a dismal season for them. The Alouettes handed them their 11th straight loss and planted them at the bottom of the CFL standings with a 3-15 record, the worst in their franchise history. The win for Montreal gave them a regular season record of 10-8 which has them hosting the East Division semi-final, placing 2nd in the East, and finishing with the 5th best record overall in the CFL. Next up was another triple header Saturday and this one had some playoff implications. It was simple for Saskatchewan, win and you get first in the West and a bye to the West final. For Calgary, they needed to win and have the Riders lose in order to place first in the West. There was also the pressure that if Calgary lost, they would be finishing tied with the Bombers for 2nd in the West but since the Bombers were 2-1 against the Stamps, Calgary would place third and not host a playoff game this year. The Riders did what they needed to do and secured the West final at home with a 23-13 win over the Edmonton Eskimos who finished fourth in the West but will crossover to the East with an 8-10 record. The pressure was then back on Calgary who pulled through and beat the BC Lions 21-16. The West was finally settled. Saskatchewan was at the top at 13-5, followed by Calgary at 12-6, and Winnipeg at 11-7. In the East, the Tiger-Cats ended their regular season with a win over Toronto and finished with the best record in the CFL at 15-3. So now that it’s playoff time, here’s what’s happening. Montreal will host the East semi-final at 12pm on Sunday against the Edmonton Eskimos who are crossing over from the West. That game will be followed by the Calgary Stampeders hosting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at 3:30 in the West semi-final. The winner of the West semi’s will play Saskatchewan, and the winner of the East semi’s will face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. My ABOVE: QB Isaac Harker won his first CFL playoff predictions are Calgary beating the Bombers start that sealed first place in the West. Dean Hofer. and Montreal winning against Edmonton.

Royals Off to Provincial Final Janine Hayward, Martensville Messenger
The Royals hosted Fort Qu’Appelle on Saturday to keep their winning streak alive defeating the Rebels 52-22 to earn a berth into the SHSAA Provincial Final. The Royals extended their wins to 8-0 in front of a big hometown crowd. The Royals set the tone early as Kyler Fraser returned the opening kick-off the length of the field for the first major. Laughren converted making it 7-0. The Rebels answered back when #99 Tait Radwell broke a tackle for the 50 yard touchdown run. The convert was unsuccessful making it 7-6 Royals. A diving catch by Dawson Lennea from QB Aiden Kliewer set up a Dylan Babecy major, lengthening the lead to 14-6 with 2:46 left in the first. The defense was stellar once again pushing back Rebel QB Gibson Birns for a 20yard loss as he was sacked for two consecutive plays. This once again set up a 25-yard pass to Brody Nelson who ran it in for the major in the last play of the first quarter making it 21-6. This was not all for the Royals as they kept their momentum going with a 40 yard pass to Kyler Fraser for his second major making it 28-6 at 9:04 of the second. The Royals did not let up as Brody Nelson once again found the endzone with a run as he broke tackles to make it 34-6. The defense forced a three and out and, on the Royals’ next possession, Dylan Babcey ran it in for the 42-6 lead. The adrenaline was pumping as Josh Dyck intercepted the Rebel pass giving kicker Christopher Laughren good field position for a field goal before the end of the second. The Royals went into the half with a 45-6 lead. The defense came out strong again in the second half, as Shamus Sawatsky intercepted a Rebel pass once again which set up a touchdown by Connor Hamelin making it 52-6 Royals. The Rebels ran into all sorts of pressure from the Royal defense who forced a few fumbles in the 3rd. The Rebels would add two more majors to their tally with a 2-point convert at the end making the final 52-22 Royals who earn a spot in the Provincial final against Melfort. Offensive coordinator, Ty Pylypow, was impressed with his offense. “I felt our offense started to show glimpses of what we are capable of, when each player takes care of their responsibilities,” commented Pylypow. I give all the credit to our offensive line who opened up the running lanes for our ground game, and gave Aiden time to be effective in the passing game.” He continues how the team can celebrate but there is work ahead this week as they prepare for Melfort in the final. “They are big, strong and fast as a team but we are looking forward to the challenge.” The team will travel to Melfort on Saturday, November 9 and are geared up for the Provincial final. Game time is 1:00pm. Go Royals!
