Coming in at $1.88 billion dollars, survey work for the project has already begun and it is expected the Regina Bypass Partners (RBP), the company building the bypass, will start working this summer and be working flat out to complete the overpasses at White City and Balgonie by 2017. The overpass at Pilot Butte will be completed by 2019. RBP will be face financial penalties – running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars – for missed deadlines. The government insists the P3 model used for the project will save the province $380 million. “This is the only form of contract that gives us that holistic view,” said Tim Heavenor, Chief Financial Officer for Graham Construction and President of Regina Bypass Partners of the P3 model, “But also because of the scope of the project there’s repeated work processes and we’re able to gain efficiency through those repeated work processes and that’s part of the value that’s being created on this project.” What of securing gravel necessary for construction? The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) has engaged in a study to monitor gravel stores in the province. Gravel is a non-renewable resource, widely used by municipalities to maintain thousands of miles of gravel roads and for other projects. Council chamber talk at the RM of Edenwold has included discussions about the RM being approached by contractors looking to secure gravel and lock down prices. Heavenor was questioned how RBP will secure gravel. “There’s been quite a bit of work, not only related to gravel, but all of the requirements for the project. We’ve had a team that’s been working for months putting together our bid and so in that process we’ve been consulting with local suppliers. In some cases we’ve already secured supply and in other cases, depending on what it is that we’re talking about, we’ll be going through a process that will be understood by all the local suppliers that are potential candidates to work with us.” Of the land purchased and expropriated for the project,was any purchased solely for access to gravel? “That’s the business of the Ministry. That’s not for us to answer,” Heavenor said. Further to an inquiry with the Ministry of Highways, the answer is no. The Ministry did not expropriate land for material including gravel. While there may be aggregate on some of the land, the purpose of expropriation was for the right-of-way only. They also said Projectco is responsible for securing and supplying material for the Bypass project. Projectco shares the same Communications Officer as the Regina Bypass Partners and a call to them asking if they’d secured a gravel contract was not returned in time for the newspaper’s deadline. “No. They haven’t. We’ve talked to them, but we haven’t,” Councillor Lorne Beer with the RM of Edenwold said of any signed gravel contracts with any of the bypass construction partners. Taking a stroll Federal election called for October 19 Info “coming soon” for Saskatchewan polling stations MICHELLE NICHOLSON T he longest federal election campaign period since 1872 kicked off Sunday, August 5. Voters will be going to the polls October 19. As of August 14, for the Regina-Qu’Appelle riding, four candidates have thrown their hat in the ring: - Incumbent Andrew Scheer for the Conservative Party - Nial Kuyek for the New Democratic Party - Della Anaquod for the Liberal Party - Greg Chatterson for the Green Party For the Souris-Moose Mountain riding: - Incumbent Robert Kitchen for the Conservative Party - Vicky O’Dell for the New Democratic Party The Elections Canada website has not yet listed polling stations for Saskatchewan, but indicates the information is “coming soon.” Charlotte Schriml (L) and Pam Greenawalt (R) were out on a beautiful Friday morning strolling the streets of Pilot Butte, making stops at the post office, the insurance agency and then town office. Little Rauri Schriml (in Charlotte’s stroller) and Reyo Nowosad (in Pam’s stroller), couldn’t help but just enjoy the ride.

Laurie Rudolph Town Administrator THE STAR | SERVING WHITE CITY, EMERALD PARK, PILOT BUTTE, BALGONIE & SURROUNDING AREAS | 3 AUGUST 18, 2015 Wastewater treatment plant funding goes unannounced MICHELLE NICHOLSON S ome communities won the proverbial lottery, Friday, July 31. The provincial government announced 26 projects had received funding under the New Building Canada Plan’s Small Communities Fund. The White City/RM of Edenwold joint use wastewater treatment plant was not one of the projects announced as having received funding. With the writ having been issued for federal election Sunday, August 2, neither the Town nor the RM may receive word until after ballots have been cast October 19. The communities remain hopeful that the application sent in to the fund is still in the pipeline and will receive attention and potentially approval. “This is a multi-year program. As far as I know, our application is somewhere in the pipeline in the process of being approved or not approved. We haven’t been told we’re not getting it. We just haven’t been told that we are getting it. And now that they’ve called the federal election, I’m assuming that we’re not going to know one D L SO ment and then sent to the federal government who then returns it to the provincial government for another check, at some point after those steps an approval or refusal is determined. The WCRM158 Wastewater Authority plans to build an H20 wastewater treatment plant, with additional storage capacity and a septage receiving station with the grant money. Project costs are pegged in the tens of millions of dollars range. In an email received from the Ministry of Government Relations, they stated the July 31 funding announcement by the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan is the first set of projects approved under Provincial Territorial Infrastructure Component (a.k.a. the New Building Canada Plan). Additional Saskatchewan projects will be announced in the future. Applications that did not receive funding on July 31 will still be considered for future funding under PTIC. This is a 10-year program, which will provide a total federal/ provincial investment in Saskatchewan infrastructure of more than $870 million. We’re not the newsletter.

It’s not great news. But I don’t know that it’s bad news either,” said White City Councillor Cecil Snyder. Snyder sits on the WCRM158 Wastewater Management Authority, an entity created with representatives from the Town of White City and the RM of Edenwold. “We’ve been counting on the announcement coming. We have not been promised anything, that it was coming for sure, but all indications were that there’d be an announcement sooner, not later. I guess at this point I feel a degree of emptiness and frustration all at the same time, because it does put us in a position,” RM of Edenwold Reeve Mitchell Huber said. Both communities have pending developments and having and managing sewage capacity is of significant importance to move projects along. “We’re going to have to look at other options and right now I don’t know what they might be,” Huber said.

Case in point, the Leader’s Debate hosted by MacLeans magazine. Young-fella-with-divisive-last-name Justin Trudeau, oldwooden-expression Stephen Harper, feisty-but-unrealisticpolitics Elizabeth May, and crazy-face-making Thomas Mulcair took the stage to debate the economy and environment, among others. All parties claimed victory afterwards, but it seemed apparent that the three opposition parties were out to make points by attacking the Prime Minister. Some did, some didn’t in my opinion. But, unfortunately for most, we have plenty of more where that comes from until the October 19, 2015 election. Just to be clear, what stood out was a couple things. Firstly, Elizabeth May was sharp, well spoken and very comfortable at the mic, and honestly, too bad she’s the Green Party leader. Secondly, Mulcair has some seriously creepy faces when trying to make a point. He looked uncomfortable, strange while trying to zing Harper. Lastly, the ol’ PM himself, Stephen Harper said, “just to be clear” probably 900 times. In fact, if you had participated in a drinking game with each time he said, “just to be clear” you took a drink, you’d be under the table before the first commercial break. Just to be clear, at least we don’t have Donald Trump. Your vote doesn’t matter More than material PETER HOLMES A uditor General Michael Ferguson’s recently released federal spending report chastised the government for being unable to account where funds are spent. Many funds and branches of government were poorly rated by Ferguson’s report. The worst handing of funds was Public Security and AntiTerrorism (PSAT) package where between 2001 and 2009 only $9.8 of the 12.9 Billion has been allocated. In investigative accounting, there is a concept called materiality which sets a threshold for an amount of money not worth looking for. For example, a medium sized business doing a year end audit might not be able to determine where $100,000 was spent. Yet if the business has revenues of 10 million per year this is only 1% and is likely not worth looking into due to the high cost of investigative accounting. Harper defended attacks in parliament this week saying that it was not a boondoggle and that it was simply a matter of categorization and that they will take suggestions from the auditor general on how to better account in the future. Yet 3.1 Billion of 12.9 Billion is nearly 25%. Well above the normal 1-2% threshold of materiality and completely unacceptable for a modern government to lose track of. That money did not appear out of thin air it was garnered by taxes. The taxpayers deserve a reasonable accounting of where that money is spent. The Conservative government, for a party that bills itself as the sound financial management choice, is not making good on that claim as they head into another election.

In lots of ways, it’s already over. Unless Kevin Sorenson moves to Syria or forgets to file his nomination papers he’s going back to Ottawa. In fact, 120 of the 338 ridings in this election already have a frontrunner with a projected 90% or better chance of winning. For voters in those ridings, this election was over before it started. You will be encouraged to vote. You might even be told your vote matters. For over a third of Canadian voters, including Battle River—Crowfoot, that won’t be true, at least in terms of influencing the composition of the House of Commons. For people in these ‘done deal’ ridings, whether you pick the winner or not, you will not influence the outcome of the election.

A ‘win-more’ vote for the Conservatives matters exactly as much as a write-in vote for Santa Claus. And that’s disappointing, because the system can’t tell the difference between winning a riding with 95% of the vote and winning a close three-way race with 35% support. If we want the demos (people) to kratia (rule), which is the point of democracy, we should use a system that represents the wishes of Canadians as closely as possible. This is not that system. So unless you read this from a riding that’s actually competitive, you can snuggle into a warm blanket of ignorance and bliss because your vote doesn’t matter. For the sake of democracy, responsible governance and the future of our country, it really should. Please e-mail, or phone with story ideas or letters to the editor.

Tel: (306) 353 -3393 SEE NEWS HAPPENING? CALL MICHELLE AT: (306) 353-3393 askatchewan Roughrider football fans have been thoroughly spoiled in the last ten years. The Riders won Grey Cups in 2007 and at home in 2013. They were also Western representatives in the Cup finals of 2009 and 2010. Because of success on the field, the team has experienced an economic boom, which allows management to send current team members and a 12 person coaching staff to the sunny south for spring tryout camps. All such expenditures are outside of the league salary cap. Success on the field equates to budget surpluses, some $10.4 million in the Grey Cup year and $2.2 million for 2014-15. The Roughriders generously shared their success via financial support for amateur football during the Jim Hopson era. In the last decade, winning has made game day activity and attendance a must do throughout the province. The wild card going forward, is a losing season may eliminate a good deal of the less committed fan base. It’s hard to imagine that the people who dress wildly and revel in team victory will have the same passion if the team falls to zero and eight by Labour Day. Whether due to competition with a myriad of other activities, or factors related to performance, recent ticket sales have not reached the sellout level in their current venue. In fact, the Riders did not sell out all games in their Grey Cup year, nor for the home playoff game against B.C. Walk up ticket sales could decline further if we continue to lose and fall out of playoff contention. SPRING SURVEY Many current season ticket holders are concerned about their transfer to assigned seating in the new stadium. An April 2015 survey was initiated to facilitate the seat relocation process, which will begin some time in 2016. It is a critical and highly sensitive operation. Long term fans fear they will not be able to sit among those they have shared the game day experience with over the past decade or more. They harbour concerns, because the survey utilized forced choice questions; e.g., two seating options were put forward, both unacceptable to them, yet they had to select one in order to continue the survey. Some of the new options involve outdoor and indoor club seating. The cost factor comes into play, because the move to the new stadium creates a decision point for every season ticket holder. If ticket increases are prohibitive, some long time fans are musing that they may not continue to be season ticket holders. Combine a decrease in season ticket renewals with game day walk-ups, and it could mean a major reduction to the team’s bottom line. The key question becomes, will the majority of season ticket holders automatically move if their needs and expectations are not met. It is difficult to determine. The release date of results from the April survey have yet to be announced. On the plus side, reliable sources within Rider management have clearly stated these questions will be taken very seriously. An Information Center to deal with transfer issues will be set up before the season ends to keep season ticket holders thoroughly informed. Maintaining a strong fan base is essential to ensure that the club can continue to meet their financial obligations for the new site. New Stadium Facts Total cost: $278 million. The Province contributes $80 million, the City contributes $73 million, fans (through facility fees on their tickets) contribute $100 million, the Riders contribute $25 million (mostly through sponsorships from Harvard, Mosaic, Brandt and Capital), plus $15 million for leasehold improvements such as a training room, administrative offices, the Rider store, etc. Seating capacity for football is 33,000 and can be expanded to 40,000 for special events. Projected opening date for the new Mosaic Stadium is June 2017. In terms of the fan base, the objective “is to provide coverage for half of the spectators, and some protection across all permanent seating.” The new venue is also described as “roof ready.” Another important element to the total project is the Regina Revitalization Initiative. When Taylor Field is decommissioned, a 700unit housing project is to be built on the land. D ear Editor, Mr. Premier: in your Sask Party advertising, you tell us you are listening to the people. If this is true, it is time for you to stop the bypass route at Tower Road. This route is not a good deal for anyone except the French company hired to build it. Expecting taxpayers to not be concerned about the biggest infrastructure project in the province is one thing. Expecting us not to expect answers when, within the space of just over a year, the cost went from the projected $700 to $800 million listed in the tender documents your government released to the consortiums in early 2014 to $1.88 billion without the cost of land, someone needs to be fired for signing this contract. This is not value for money. It illustrated an audaciousness not becoming of our Premier. Do you really believe this is still a good deal for the Saskatchewan people? By using the alternative northern route, the cost with overpasses would be under $800 million, road safety would be better realized with the improved interchanges at Pilot Butte, White City and Great Plains Access, while still realizing a savings of $1.2 billion. Using figures from Saskatchewan Highways, that savings would be sufficient to repave over 3,000 kms. of Saskatchewan highways. To put that in perspective, Halifax, Nova Scotia is 3,113 kms. from Regina. Why not do the right thing and share the wealth with the entire province now, and give Regina a real BYPASS with safer commutes for the bedroom communities east of Regina?

The purpose of the Regina Bypass is to reroute truck traffic around the city to reduce traffic congestion on Victoria Avenue 2. The Regina Highway #1 Bypass is rubber stamped by the Saskatchewan Government to be built, in city limits at Tower Road 3. The Department of Highways said that the Regina Bypass location at Tower Road was selected to serve the community for 50 years 4. As indicated in the Highway #1 East Functional Study, “the majority of the growth in traffic on Highway #1 east of Tower road is due to growth in the communities east of Regina. It should be noted that no matter where the east terminal of the south east bypass is high volumes of commuter traffic will still travel into the city on a daily basis” 5. “Major developers/land owners in the area along Tower Road formed part of the value engineering team. They were involved in making decisions that would impact land owners of acreages and east of Tower Road, with out any representation or consultation with long term property owners. While acreage land owners/stake holders being impacted were not on the list to be consulted and were given no say, major developers were in a position to make favourable decisions to their own development plans.” | AUGUST 18, 2015 Antique car show put on just for seniors MICHELLE NICHOLSON T he driveway at William Albert House was full up of colour and engine power August 4. Members of the Antique Auto Association of Regina, Collector’s Car Club, and Saskatchewan Ford Mercury Club brought out cars and set up a car show for residents at the senior’s care home. “This works out nice for everyone,” Larry Howlett an event organizer and member of the AAAR said, “It’s a trip down memory lane for them. It’s interesting what catches their eyes.” Howlett and others make a point of taking the cars out to various senior’s care homes around Regina throughout the summer months and spoke of a pink Cadillac that was a vehicle of special interest at a previous show. “We do two [shows] an evening, and then go out for ice cream,” Howlett said. For residents, it gives them a chance to talk to the owners, reminisce and enjoy dainties served by care home staff. 6. The Regina Highway #1 Bypass does not have a north route outside of the city. “No studies have been conducted regarding a possible alignment for the future northeast Regina bypass 7. The majority of the truck traffic coming into the city goes to the Commercial Industrial business district, truck terminals, warehouses, services and highways to the north 8. In a CTV poll in April 2014 after the bypass route was announced 85% of the people said the Regina Bypass should be moved further east of the city 9. Is the location of the Regina Highway #1 Bypass flawed? The department of highways will not release the non- redacted version of the functional study to show the science behind their decision to rubber stamp an outdated, dysfunctional, unsafe, expensive, dead end, bypass, within city limits that will only reroute 10% of the truck traffic south around the city.

Why are stakeholders that were never consulted, losing their land, homes, businesses, health, history and future for an outdated, flawed location bypass in city limits that will not reduce truck traffic coming into the city 11. A stakeholder’s study revealed that if the bypass was moved 1.5 miles outside the city to Gravel Pit Road it could go north to highway 46 truck route and south to function as a true bypass around the entire city and still save over 100 million dollars. Why wasn’t this bypass option considered? 15084JJ0 12. The majority of taxpayers say that the bypass should go from Balgonie north on highway 46, the existing truck route and north and west around the city to highway #1. This would be the most functional to serve most of the truck traffic to go to the Commercial Industrial business district in north east Regina, the highways in the north and west to the transportation hub and highway #1. This route would function as a true Regina Bypass and save over 500 million dollars. 13. Why didn’t the government study all the Regina bypass options to BEST serve the community for 50 years and to reduce truck traffic congestion coming into the city. THE 1.88 BILLION DOLLAR QUESTION...

A resident of William Albert House in Emerald Park, she was one of the guests who took time to tour a local garden. “We’re free to go around and to look at everything,” Morrell said and talked of the many visual delights she found in the garden, “it’s a chance to get out.” Terry Gayton’s home and garden sits about a half block from William Albert House, a senior’s care facility, just off the walking path. “They would just come by on the path and look at the flowers,” Gayton said of the seniors. She started to invite them in. “I decided it would be better to just do it all at one time,” she said and now, for three years, Gayton has opened her garden. This year, 20 to 25 seniors visited her garden July 24. “My mother was an avid gardener. When she moved into a senior’s residence she really missed that garden,” Gayton said. This year, Gayton invited members of the White City Garden Club to volunteer to help out during the morning event. “They either push them in the wheelchairs or walk with them around the yard,” said Gayton. The event ran from 9:30 to 11:30, with the seniors coming in shifts, getting to look at the garden not just from the pathway but to sit right in the garden and enjoy a glass of lemonade or cup of tea. “They seem to enjoy being outside in the sunshine and we’ve had lovely weather on these particular days,” Gayton said. One of the guests, Mary, was 101 years-old. “She (Terry) serves lemonade and the visitors get a reminder of their younger days working on farms, in gardens, and just being outside enjoying the smell of cut grass and flowers,” Joy Dobson, a volunteer with the White City Garden Club wrote in an email about the event. “It’s something that my mom would’ve loved to have been able to do when she was alive. It’s that kind of a feeling that it means something to them and it’s very little [work] for me. Because I just open the gate and they come in,” Gayton said.

The latest defeat came at the hands of the Toronto Argonauts Saturday night at Rogers Centre, 30-26, before a surprisingly enthusiastic crowd of 20,642 in the Argos’ home-opener. But the game itself was an eyesore. It was the second-highest penalty total in a single CFL regular season game with a whopping 24 infractions being assessed to Saskatchewan and 15 more flags being thrown at Toronto. Yuck. Even more disturbing is the fact observers noted three Roughriders touchdowns were called back due to penalties, ultimately leading to another demoralizing defeat. “Write it like the other (games) and you have the same story,” Riders coach Corey Chamblin said after the game. “Tight loss. We did some good things but negative things hurt us. Everytime we had big plays, penalties killed us.” And that, perhaps, is the most maddeningly-frustrating thing about this horrendous season for your friendly neighbourhood Green & White. It’s the same annoying story being played over and over again on a weekly basis. Going into Saturday’s game I chatted with the exasperated General Manager of the Roughriders, Brendan However that hasn’t stopped the braintrust from holding emergency meetings and seeing how best to manage this crisis. Former Roughrider President Jim Hopson is rumoured to have offered a helping hand, with his replacement Craig Reynolds treading water in the deep-end. To quote singer Glenn Frey, the “Heat Is On”. “Oh no. It’s been clearly stated that we’re in the business to win games,” Taman concluded. “We all get that. We’ve tried to tinker with the lineup, getting young guys in to play, and getting a change. We have to change what we’re doing. We started that scheme-wise and lineup-wise with the Toronto game. That happens when you lose.” All the gloom and doom is understandable because, as I’ve noted countless times, nobody’s used to this and it certainly wasn’t expected. But the Riders are still the league’s flagship franchise and the preferred destination for players to play. They’re getting more publicity now than when they were at the top of the podium. Make no mistake, the brand is still incredibly strong. But it can’t take a prolonged hit and everybody is aware of that. All I know is I’m glad I’m not the one who has to find the answers. Oh, and the Riders won’t lose this week. Taman, on CKRM’s pregame show and he pointed out the biggest culprit in all of their losses so far. “Turnovers,” Taman blurted, taking less than a second to answer. “(Going into the Toronto game) we’re minus-9, we’re the worst in the league, and you don’t win games when that happens. A big part of that is we’re not taking the ball away. Everybody associates the turnover ratio with offense, but we’ve had two takeaways all year on defense which, we’ve all seen, is below normal and that’s an understatement.” The CFL record for the least amount of defensive takeaways in a season is 25, set by the 2006 Edmonton Eskimos. The 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders are on pace for only six. “I don’t know what I can say on top of that. That really sums it up,” Taman continued. “The penalties and tackling are part of it but I think the turnovers are huge. If we don’t take the ball away, we’re going to have issues to win games.” So the football club couldn’t wait to get to this bye week to reassess and chart the course for the final 11 games. A playoff spot, remarkably, is not yet lost despite the record. Corey Chamblin has gone from Coach of the Year to Coach For The Year and each mounting loss has those wolves back howling outside his door. Last week in this space I noted that losing would not be tolerated by the decision-makers of this franchise however that notion seems to have cooled. Chamblin’s been given a vote of confidence by his bosses and that appears to have set him at ease somewhat in the days since.

Selects’ backpack all pinned up from trading pins with the other teams. Submitted photo hree local boys recently returned from participating in a week-long soccer tournament in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Torii Trytten and Josh Gorniak from Balgonie and Endeshaw Coghill from McLean, represented Saskatchewan and Canada in the U12 Boys Division at the USA Cup. The Sask. Selects team won their pool by defeating Mexico, Minneapolis and Brainerd, Minnesota, 2-1, 5-1, and 6-0 respectively. The Selects were defeated by a Mexico City team 3-1 in the first round of playoffs and were disappointedly out of the tournament. Teams from all around the world including Brazil, Costa Rica, Norway, and Japan, took part in this Under 19, 1153 team soccer tournament. The tourney is the largest in the Western Hemisphere which includes 16,000 participants. The Sask. Selects were also involved in pin trading, opening ceremonies, dances and the team attended a pro soccer game between Minnesota and Jacksonville. It was a great experience for the boys. Torii Trytten was part of the Sask. Selects team that played in the USA Cup in Brainerd, Minnesota.
