-Check the sprinkler position to make sure you don’t waste water by watering the street, sidewalks or driveway.
-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.
-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.

Martensville-Warman MLA Terry Jenson, along with R.M. of Laird, Reeve Sheldon Willems were also on hand to celebrate the Highway 12 milestone. “Highway 12 is a busy and important road for travel and many of our residents use it daily to get to work or conduct their business," Willems said. "Improving road safety is always welcome and we appreciate the new passing lanes." Since 2008, the Government of Saskatchewan has invested over $11.5 billion into provincial highways, which has seen more than 18,400 kms of roads improved upon. This year, the Ministry of Highways plans to improve more than 1,100 kms of Saskatchewan highways, with plans to build and upgrade 10,000 kms of highways over the next ten years. have

On August 25th, a ribbon cutting event took place to celebrate the official opening of the passing lanes that were constructed on Highway 12 north of Martensville this summer. The $10.6 million project saw a total of five passing lanes constructed between Martensville and the Highway 312 access. Passing lanes, which are typically a minimum of two kilometers in length, are designed to allow vehicles to pass slower moving drivers, such as large trucks and semi-trailers, safely on busy roadways. In the past five years, approximately 60 sets of passing lanes have been added to Saskatchewan highways. Minister of Highways, Jeremy Cockrill was in attendance to help commemorate the event. “Highway 12 is an important and busy transportation corridor for commuters into Saskatoon. Our government continues to look at investments where we can make an impact and passing lanes provide efficiency and increased safety,” he stated.
Cadet At The Top Of The Tower
MARTENSVILLE MESSENGER - SEPTEMBER 1, 2022 - Page 5
Flight Corporal William Sawyer of 574 Dakota, Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Martensville, Sask., abseiled from a 30-foot tower at Camp Saskadet, near Kelvington, Sask, on July 14, 2022. Sawyer had the opportunity to try abseiling during the 12-day Cadet Activity Program, held in Saskatoon and at Camp Saskadet from July 11 – 22, 2022. During the 12-day experience, cadets participated in sports activities, visiting the Wanuskewin Heritage Museum, map and compass, and taking part in marksmanship and biathlon. He especially enjoyed abseiling and building survival shelters. Abseiling is a recreational activity that involves descending down using a rope in controlled conditions from a mountain, cliff or, Theatre Company Offers Variety of Skills to Students
Jocelyn Ottenbreit, Martensville Messenger Gumshoe Productions is a Saskatchewanbased theatre company founded by local actor and playwright, Danielle Roy. Roy’s bold determination to bring important and difficult topics to the stage through original scripts is the main focus at Gumshoe Productions.“Ourmission is to ask more questions and to grow together through the telling of stories to deeper understand each other and the roles we play as individuals and as a collective,” said Roy. All classes are instructed by Roy, who is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drama) Program and the Globe Theatre Conservatory Program. With over a decade of experience, she has been teaching theatre to all ages through drama programs including Persephone Theatre, SUM Theatre, and Saskatchewan Express. In 2016, Roy founded Gumshoe Productions to bring more theatre opportunities to youth in Martensville, Warman, and surrounding area. Roy explained that the one-hour classes cover the basics of drama: acting, improv, mask work, confidence building, listening/focusing skills, character building, scene work, monologues, story-telling, and ensemble/teamwork. Something that Roy looks forward to is the year end production as it is a very unique experience for students. They develop the skills over the course of the program to write and create a production of their own that they then share as a yearend performance. “This looks different every year depending on the group but is always a load of fun,” said Roy.
Sawyer is in his second year as a cadet at 574 Dakota, Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron. He joined cadets because he has been interested in the military and loved airplanes since he was in grade 3. “Cadets is a great opportunity for everyone,” Sawyer said, “I’ve enjoyed every aspect of cadets so far.”
Classes are on Thursday evenings at the Martensville Sports Centre (Upper Mezzanine); Ages 7-9 @5:30pm-6:30pm, Ages 10-11 @ 6:30pm-7:30pm, Ages 11-13 @ 7:30pm-8:30pm and Ages 14+ @ 8:30pm-9:30pm. The program runs from Sept 2022 - May 2023 and the cost is $80/month. There are still some spots available so you can register by email at gumshoeproductions@outlook.com. as in this case, a manmade structure. “I was a little nervous the first time on abseil, but I then went back five more times, it was so much fun,” Sawyer said. “I want to do it all again.”
The Cadet Activity Program is one of many activities available to youth at local, regional, and national levels in the Cadet Program year-round. The Cadet Program is open to all youth between the ages of 12-18 years old and develops confident, self-sufficient leaders who form lasting friendships and are engaged in their communities. Air Cadets also learn about aviation technologies, air crew survival, and how to fly. Adults are also needed to help train, administer, and supervise the local youth involved in the Cadet Program. Becoming part of the Cadet Program is easier than you may think, it’s a lot of fun, and the skills you learn are likely transferable to your regular employment. No previous military or cadet experience is needed. Training restarts locally in September. Contact 574 Dakota, Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, at 306222-8628 or email 574Air@cadets.gc.ca to find out how to get in on the fun and learning.

“We have a chance to make decisions that will shape the downtown and the city for the next 50 years and beyond,” Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark stated.
From August 30th to September 5th, there will be a representative sample survey, which includes a telephone and online panel survey for Saskatoon residents available and from September 13th to October 3rd, there will be an opt-in online public survey for Saskatoon residents, as well as residents from other communities to participate in.

Our economic and budgetary situation is much better than anyone, including the Saskatchewan Party government, could have imagined. Just six months ago, the government found it necessary to tack the provincial sales tax on to sporting events and concert tickets and even gym memberships.How much have things changed? Premier Scott Moe couldn’t wait until Finance Minister Donna Harpauer’s 2022-23 first-quarter budget presentation to announce his government would be handing out a $500 cheque to every adult 18 years and older in Saskatchewan that had the wherewithal to have filed income tax. Sure, we can afford it. The only question is whether this is how we should have been spending our money. The update showed a whopping $1.86-billion increase in natural resource revenue than what was anticipated in March. So dramatic was this turnaround that the government announced it would be handing out those $500 cheques and cancel the scheduled Oct. 1 implementation of the provincial sales tax that the budget expanded to gym memberships. (The tax applied to Roughrider games and concert tickets will remain.)
Given that Moe has long being pressured to do so, critics can’t have it both ways. That said, the Sask. Party government can’t have it both ways, either. It can no longer plead poverty. It can no longer claim the federal government is robbing us of prosperity when it has money to toss around.Awindfall is a good thing, but it is a two-edged sword.
Others argued if a government was simply going to throw around our revenue dollars to buy votes at a time when the government popularity surely must be slipping a bit, doing it this way isn’t the best way to benefit families with kids.With shortfalls in educating funding causing some school divisions to charge parents for noon supervision, some families will see this money go in one pocket and out the other.Still others argued that any found money should go towards dealing with the closure of rural hospital emergency, x-ray and lab tech services. Also there is arguably even a greater need to address the surgical wait lists that tend to flow from similar doctor and nursing shortages in urban hospitals.
At the August 29th meeting, City Councillors were also given a report to highlight both pros and cons for these locations, as well as concept drawings for the future event centre; however, a design process is still required. Council approved the report, and the artistic illustrations are now available to view online at saskatoon.ca/eventdistrict.

The one-time payout costing provincial coffers about $450 million has drawn simultaneous criticism for being too much, too little and not going to where it should be going.Some were quick to criticize that while the 202223 surplus budget’s now billion-dollar surplus (the first such surplus budget since Moe became premier) the money should have been spent on less politically attractive options like paying down the province’s mounting debt.
Results gathered from the surveys will be shared publicly and presented to Saskatoon Council in November.
Finally with the pandemic and ensuring inflation especially hammering the poor and those already struggling, there is case to be made for more of this money directed to social services concerns and addiction treatment that have been in the news of late for inadequate supports. To say that the government choice here is both imperfect and somewhat politically motivated is likely an understatement, but let’s put things in a more realistic political context. Many of the problems - especially in health care - are not going to be solved with a $500-million cash injection because the needed doctors and nurses are not available at this moment at any costs.
“The illustrations give people an idea of what the District could look like and how exciting and dynamic this will be. A lot of the design detail will still need to be worked out ultimately by architects, partners, and working with the community. These are simply possible concepts.”
"Camping in fall is a whole new experiencethe parks are quieter, the leaves are changing colours and the crisp air is perfect for cozy mornings around the campfire with a hot coffee in hand," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. "With a number of exciting special events taking place, it's a great opportunity for campers to get out to a park, take in an activity or two and experience the beauty of fall in Sask Parks."

The City of Saskatoon has been working on plans to construct a new downtown event centre and on Monday, August 29th, City Council discussed two potential locations; the Midtown Plaza’s north parking lot, and an undeveloped north downtown area located near the city yards. Initially, there were a total of five site options on the table for the event centre, which is planned to hold a capacity comparable to the current SaskTel Centre located in Saskatoon’s north end; however, through an evaluation process, the other three options were removed from the running.
Unexpected Windfall Produces Expected Cheques
The next step is now to receive feedback from residents, businesses and other community partners on opportunities and challenges for the potential sites.

Yes, there’s reason to suspect handing out cheques is votebuying - especially given the likelihood of Moe announcing the Saskatoon Meewasin by-election within weeks. The government is also still feeling pressure from the right, but had Harpauer, Moe and cabinet decided not to put anything back in the pockets of consumers, there would have clearly been outrage over the government using windfalls to bail themselves out from their own economic mismanagement.
Moe, Health Minister Paul Merriman and Rural and Remote Health Minister Everett Hindley have promised to unveil a longer-term strategy in September.
September 17: Back in the Boreal at Meadow Lake Provincial Park - a guided hiking event targeted to those who are new to backcountry hiking and are interested in learning tips and tricks to confidently explore the Boreal Trail
Warman City Council will be tasked with an important decision in September regarding the future of the Legends Centre Arena Expansion Project after the Government of Saskatchewan didn’t advance the application in the final intake of Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) funding. The City of Warman applied annually for ICIP funding since the first intake in 2019 until the final intake in 2022 in hopes of minimizing the financial impact felt by residents. The project cost increased with each application; from $7.8-million in 2019 to an estimated $13.5-million in 2022. Had the City been approved for ICIP funding, the federal and provincial governments would have covered nearly three-quarters of the cost, with approximately $3.5-million remaining for the City to pay for as of the 2022 estimate.
The Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crime Unit is investigating the incident with assistance from the Warman RCMP, Corman Park Police Service and Saskatoon Police Service. According to a release from the RCMP, the investigation has so far determined that Swift and the injured female were traveling with three men when the vehicle stopped and an altercation occurred. The three men fled the scene in a white Honda Civic. Later that same day, Saskatchewan RCMP officers attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle, which was spotted in Saskatoon’s Evergreen neighborhood. The suspects fled on foot; however, officers located one adult female and two adult males on Marlatte Street in Saskatoon. All were arrested at the time and the suspect vehicle wasPolicerecovered.continued to search for one outstanding male, 28-year-old Ashtin Ritzand, who was arrested without incident at approximately 3:00pm on Tuesday after turning himself in to police and will appear in court on September 1st. On Tuesday, August 30th, RCMP stated in a release that the suspicious death has been ruled a homicide and charges have been laid against Ritzand, as well as 28-year-old Anthony Burley and 29-year-old Colton Lischka, both of Saskatoon. Burley and Lischka are charged with second degree murder, attempted murder, robbery and flight from a peace officer, and Ritzand is charged with second degree murder, attempted murder, robbery and breach of an undertaking. The female arrested on Monday has since been released from police custody.
Numerous charges have been placed after an incident occurred north of Saskatoon near the intersection of Penner Road and Range Road 3050 on August 29th. At approximately 6am on Monday, August 29th, Warman RCMP received a report regarding two injured individuals.

City Council Considering Future Of Legends Centre Arena Expansion Project After Province Denies ICIP Funding For Final Time
If the existing proposal is approved by Council, preliminary estimations note a municipal arena levy of approximately $194 would be applied to each residential property. “This decision won’t be made lightly. Council understands and respects that some residents will be opposed regardless of the outcome of the vote,” said Mayor Philipchuk. “In the interest of transparency, we want to ensure the public is fully aware of a significant decision coming up for our city’s elected officials.” City Council is anticipating a decision will be made at the September 26th Regular Meeting of Council. About the Legends Centre Arena Expansion Project: Facility components within the proposed twostorey project include a single ice arena, seating for 205 spectators, six change rooms and a second-floor lounge space with seating for 150 people. The intent of the expansion is to address Warman’s steady growth and increasing demands of recreational opportunities.
The male has been identified as 40-year-old James Swift from the R.M. of Corman Park. RCMP have notified the victim’s family and made supports available.
ABOVE: The City of Warman is looking to make a decision regarding the Legends Centre Arena Expansion Project this September.
“Warman City Council is extremely disappointed by the provincial government’s decision. We have been the fastest growing city in Saskatchewan since 2012 and have mirrored the Saskatchewan Party’s vision for growth. We feel this decision was shortsighted and doesn’t reward this growth; it takes it for granted,” said City of Warman Mayor Gary Philipchuk. “Now Council will have to determine whether to proceed with the expansion or not. If we do continue, this will certainly have a financial impact on our residents.”
