PSSD by-election nominations open

GAZETTE PHOTO BY TERRY PUGH

TAKING OFF THE CROP Farmers across the region were hard at work last week taking advantage of the hot, dry weather to get the crop off and into the bin. (Above) Dust hangs in the air as a farmer and his daughter pick up a swath of canola in a ﬁeld near Hepburn. Saskatchewan producers have 32 per cent of the 2011 crop combined, right on track

with the five-year (2006-2010) provincial average, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture. Thirty-four per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut, compared to the five-year average of 31 per cent. Rain in some areas delayed harvest work for a few days, but most producers were able to get back into the fields at the beginning of the week.

Nominations are now open to fill a vacancy on the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) board of education. The date for the byelection is Wednesday, October 19. The vacancy for Subdivision 4 on the PSSD Board was created when Andrew Bergen resigned last spring. Subdivision 4 includes the communities of Hepburn, Osler and Dalmeny, as well as the rural areas surrounding Warman and Martensville. A byelection was slated to take place before the summer, but no candidates stepped forward. As a result, the byelection was rescheduled for later this fall. Nominations are slated to close September 21. Nomination forms are available at the PSSD office in Warman, as well as schools and municipal offices in Dalmeny, Osler, Hepburn, Warman and Martensville. Candidates for this byelection must live in Prairie Spirit School Division, with supporting nominators living within Subdivision 4 (10 signatures are required).

Pathology delays put patients at risk, says whistleblower doctor Wait times particularly devastating to those undergoing cancer tests By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he Saskatoon Health Region has a serious shortage of pathologists, resulting in excessive delays for patients waiting on results of tissue biopsies and other laboratory tests, says Dr. Kirk Ready. Speaking to a crowd of about 100 residents at a health care forum in Saskatoon on Wednesday, September 7, Ready said pathology tests that should take no longer than a few days are often delayed a month or more. The wait times in this health region are the worst in Canada, Ready stated. The standard turnaround time for an ordinary pathology report is two days, or a week for a complex report. He said the wait times are particularly devastating for people undergoing cancer tests. Ready, who graduated from the University of Saskatchewan Medical College in 1985 before specializing in Anatomical Pathology in BC and Alberta, returned to Saskatoon two years ago to take a position with the Saskatoon Health Region. Last May,

he was fired from his position after going public with his concerns about the pathology division. Ready told the audience that when he arrived in Saskatoon, there were 16 full-time equivalent patholligsts working in the health region, which seemed to be adequate for the teaching and service load at that time. However, he noted that seven patholigsts left the system during the past two years. He said he became concerned about the increasing wait times for patients dealing with the uncertainty of not knowing whether or not they may have cancer, and decided to advocate on behalf of those patients. He also raised concerns that the SHR was ignoring its own requirement that the divisional head of anatomical pathology be a phsyician. The position of division head for pathology had been vacant for five years. I wrote a letter to the health region admininstration, Ready said. Consequent to that, I was rebuked, even though the points I raised were true. I offered suggestions, because I know it takes 12 to 18 months to recruit patholigsts. In frustration, I released information to the media that the Saskatoon Health Region did not have a qualified director as required by the licensing laboratory regulations in Saskatchewan. When an

HEALTH REGION ADDRESSING PATHOLOGIST SHORTAGE The Saskatoon Health Region (SHR) has recruited two pathologists over the summer, and a third pathologist who will lead the division is expected to sign a contract soon, says Sandra Blevins, SHR VicePresident for Clinical and Operations Support. In an interview September 8 at an SHR event in Waldheim, Blevins acknowledged there was a significant backlog of pathology tests, but said progress has been made in the last couple of months to bring that number down. We did have 1,300 cases in the backlog, Blevins stated. It was a big number, and that s not where we ever want to be again, but that number has come down substantially and the turnaround time is quickening as well. Blevins said the SHR administration should receive updated numbers on the pathology test backlog by next week. Blevins stated the addition of three pathologists will bring the region to its capacity in terms of workload and current funding level. She noted the pathologists starting dates will be staggered beeditorial appeared in the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix on the long weekend in May which was critical of the health region s CEO, I was subsequently terminated without cause by the health region. Ready said it is reasonable to believe he was dismissed because he

cause they are leaving other communities to come to Saskatoon. She said the SHR is drawing on the assistance of a professional recruitment agency to enlist the pathology division head. We re really happy with our progress over the summer because it is a tough group to recruit, she explained. Everybody in the country is recruiting pathologists. Blevins said when the surgical program expands in the near future, the SHR will reassess its pathology workload and funding commitment. One of the new positions is to absorb some of that additional work, and then we ll do an assessment of how much more will come with it, she said. The pathology division leader will be doing pathology work, but they will aslo be leading the division, so that person s job will be broader in scope. Blevins added the SHR pathology division also works with other health regions across the province. I think with the workload we have we re conﬁdent we ll be in good shape, she said. ‒PUGH

Controlled burn provides critical training for area firefighters By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

It only took about 5 minutes for the whole farmhouse to be almost totally engulfed in flames, and less than half an hour for the building to be reduced to smoking rubble. But the 30 firefighters on the scene were ready for it, with a full water supply, hoses at the ready, and everyone knowing exactly what their roles and responsibilities were. The scene was a dairy farm a few kilometers northwest of Warman on Saturday, September 10, where Dale Wiebe s old farmhouse was serving as a real-life training exercise for volunteer firefighters from Warman, Martensville, Dalmeny and Osler. Kevin Schwartz of the Warman Fire Department coordinated the event, which saw personnel and equipment from all four departments take part in the training exercise. We have a mutual aid agreement with all the communities in North Corman Park, explained Schwartz. Whenever we respond to any mutual aid fire incidents or motor vehicle accidents or any other call, it s important that we all work together as a team, and not simply as separate departments. That s why it s so critical to have this kind of training session, so we can learn to respond as a team. The training session lasted from early morning till evening, with the morning devoted to drills involving five stations and the afternoon

slated for the actual burning of the building. Schwartz said the morning involved firefighters practicing their skills in as realistic a setting as possible. We have a drafting station, which involves working to set up and fill the portable water tanks from the trucks,

that nothing else burns on the outside. We re protecting everything around the burning building. Other stations focused on ventilation and ladders ‒ where ﬁreﬁghters climbed onto the roof of the building and made holes in the structure using chain saws and

inside a smoke-filled, burning building. If a firefighter goes down inside the building, we need to be able to respond quickly, said Schwartz. We have a way of searching which is like a blackout drill. You go in with a partner on your hands and

Schwartz said the training exercise was the first in about two years for the firefighters. It s important to make it as realistic as possible, but at the same time to operate it safely, he said. We re volun-

as well as physically, because you may have to make a decision in a split second, and we rely on this kind of training to be able to know what that decision should be. Dale Wiebe said while it was kind of sad to see the old house go up in flames, it had deteriorated to the point where it wasn t salvageable. I lived in that house from the time I was two years old, he said. But we moved into our new house 6 years ago, and so I was glad to have the firefighters come here and use it for their training.

and from one truck to another, he said. We also have interior and exterior attack stations. The interior station involves firefighters going inside the house to fight the fire. The exterior involves fighting the fire from the outside. For example, if the building is already too far gone, then we re basically making sure

The training session also involved search and rescue drills, where firefighters simulate searching for someone

Spruce Manor celebrates 25th anniversary By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Fundraising efforts over the past year successfully raised $78,123 for Spruce Manor Special Care Home in Dalmeny. At a formal ceremony marking the care home s 25th anniversary on Sunday, September 11, a special commemorative cake depicting Spruce Manor and its predecessor, the Dalmeny Home for the Aged, was cut by former Matron Alice Baerg, former Board Chair Al Baerg,

current Board Chair Carl Redekop, former Board member and Building Chair Dave Lepp, and Martensville MLA Nancy Heppner. The celebration took place in front of a packed house, as Care Home Administrator Ron Baerg outlined the history of the home and its pivotal role in the community. The fundraising efforts have helped pay for several ceiling track lifts, which improve the quality of life for residents in many ways, he noted. Pastor Dennis Friesen said

the home reﬂects the caring values of the community and the staff. The home is supported by three churches in Dalmeny and Langham. A cheque was presented to Spruce Manor Care Home Board Chair Carl Redekop from Afﬁnity Credit Union in Dalmeny by Gerry Wild, Diane Tracksell and Evelyn Kasahoff. William Friesen, the oldest resident of the care home, at 101 years of age, drew the names of door prize winners. Prizes included vouchers

The new municipal reservoir and pumphouse in Hepburn is completed and ready to accept water that will soon ﬂow through a SaskWater pipeline from Dalmeny.

Hepburn close to receiving water in new pipeline By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Village of Hepburn should have Saskatoon-treated water flowing into its new municipal reservoir by the third week in September, says Barb Eichendorf, mayor of the community. In an interview September 10, Eichendorf said the water pipeline connecting the village to the SaskWater potable water line near Dalmeny is virtually complete, with only one easement left to finalize. We are waiting for an easement to install the pipeline under the CN Rail track near Dalmeny, she explained. Once we get that, then we could have water coming into our reservoir as early as the third week in September. So that s fairly soon. Eichendorf said once the water gets to the reservoir, a series of tests will have to be done to ensure the newly-constructed holding tank does not leak. The lines in the system will also have to be pressure tested and cleaned. She noted there are about 220 curbstop connections for homes and businesses in Hepburn, and most of those are already installed. We still have about 60 curbstops left to do, she said. So we re confident that by the time the water comes in, those connections will be completed. The village is also installing remote radio frequency water meters in homes and businesses. The tender for the installation of the water meters closed earlier this week, and we awarded the contract to the two lowest bidders, she said. Luckily for our community, both the bids were submitted by local contractors, so we re happy to have our local people doing the work of installing the meters. She added the water meters are expected to be delivered next week, and said she expects the installation work to go fairly quickly. It only takes an hour or two to do the actual installation, and with two companies working on the project, we don t expect

any problems, she said. The mayor said the project is progressing well and she feels a sense of growing excitement among residents. It s a huge accomplishment for the village, she said.

Give him the best by having your carpet cleaned professionally. We offer a wide range of services and ﬂexible schedules.

It s a major, major change for us and I believe it s a very positive change. I m certainly looking forward to no more bunged up taps and ﬁ xtures all coated with minerals from the well water.

An election idea that s worth talking about

VIEWPOINT

Rent control not a solution Modern rent control has been shown to decrease the supply of new housing, discourage the maintenance of existing housing and increase government bureaucracy reveals a Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce report released today. Additionally, the overall impact these regimes have on actual rental rates is questionable at best. Government policies, through aggressive taxation and heavy regulation, have discouraged the building of rental properties in Saskatchewan and are contributing to higher rents, stated Steve McLellan, Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce CEO. Adding another layer of bureaucracy and limiting a private business ability to earn an adequate rate of return on their investment will make the rental housing supply issue worse not better. Rent control only addresses a symptom of a larger affordable housing problem. Landlords are private business owners with a choice to make about where to deploy their capital, knowledge and human resources. The stigma of rent controls alone can be a real deterrent to attracting investors to Saskatchewan. To improve the province s affordable housing situation over the longterm all three levels of government need to work together to create an environment that attracts and retains these investors. Speciﬁcally, the Chamber recommends eliminating the inactive tax rate on real property and using the regular small business and large business corporate tax rates, levying the same property tax on rental properties as is levied on other residential property, allowing reinvested capital gains to be rolled over into a new residential projects and balancing the Residential Tenancies Act. Manitoba s rent control bureaucracy (an established system without the excess start-up costs Saskatchewan would incur) costs the province approximately $1.8 million annually, concluded McLellan. This type of investment could be utilized in a different manner to better help the limited number of people truly affected by rapidly raising rents as opposed to setting-up a heavy handed regulatory environment that will drive away investment and cause a decrease in the rental housing supply. -Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce

PATHOLOGY

big the tumour is and whether it has been completely removed, and also how it might be expected to behave. Dr. David Popkin, former Dean of the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan, told the audience at the forum that the health care system in Saskatchewan has undergone a number of changes over the decades in response to changing population trends and funding arrangements. The health care system we have is one that we can be rightly proud of, noted Popkin. Medicare was born and nurtured in Saskatchewan and has been enshrined nationally in the Canada Health Act. It was built in the 1940s and modiﬁed in the 1960s, but the principles of universality, comprehensiveness, ac-

cessbiility and public administration are still supported today. Popkin said despite the conslidation of rural hospitals, health delivery in areas outside major centres is still good because of an increasing emphasis on community health care centres. He also noted that although medical training of physicians at the university was cut back in the 1990s, that situation has now been reversed. The biggest change, he added, is that over the last decade, the College of Medicine used to employ full-time faculty who conducted research and provided services, but that role has now been superceded by health regions which employ physicians directly and are responsible for resource planning.

MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics

katchewan people is both selfish and poor management. At least conceptually, it makes infinite sense to at least give serious consideration to this idea - something that even the Sask. Party government seems to be grudgingly admitting. Reacting to the NDP s first major proposal, Energy Minister Bill Boyd said it s an idea his own government might consider in the future, but quickly pointed to the government s rainy-day Growth and Financial Security Fund (GFSF) as something similar. Unfortunately, the GFSF is mostly accounting jiggery-pokery aimed at justifying deficit budgets. Really, it is nothing like what Lingenfelter and the NDP have proposed. While it s possible that a Bright Futures Fund could be used to bal-

ance the books in desperate times, what s critical is that it would accumulate additional wealth through interest or investment. Even more critical is that it would be professionally and independently managed, arms length away from government so future administrations couldn t mess with it strictly for their own political gain. That s generally how Norway s Sovereign Wealth Fund works. Started in 1996, it s now accumulated $550 billion in mostly pension fund assets that account for two per cent of all stock trade in Europe and one per cent of all stocks that change hands around the globe. This, from a country with only has ﬁve million people and only after 15 years of existence. Frankly, one can only wonder why NDP or Sask. Party governments didn t think of this idea before. Even politically speaking, it s a great way to stop unions and others from clamouring for their share of the current economic boom. It s an idea that we need to be talking about in this election campaign - regardless of who is presenting it.

Short-lived Progressive Conservative Prime Minister Kim Campbell was sadly wrong when she said an election is no time to debate ideas. Yes, elections are about determining who should govern us. That s unquestionably a major consideration worthy of our attention. But within that decision should be a discussion about which ideas are best for us. And it s important that the best ideas don t get lost in the horse-race questions of who is ahead, who is likely to win and whom we simply like best. Come the Nov. 7 vote in this province, there would seem little doubt that the answer to those questions will be Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party. Besides the fact that this province hasn t had a oneterm government in nearly 80 years, the reality is that Wall is just overwhelmingly popular compared with NDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter. However, it s Lingenfelter and the NDP that appear to have come up with the ﬁrst big idea in this campaign that s worthy of discussion. In fact, it s an idea so good that it shouldn t be lost in what may be essentially a big popularity contest. The NDP leader s bright idea is literally called the Bright Futures Fund and the concept may already be familiar to you. It s roughly modelled after a similar savings fund in Alaska, and another in Norway. Really, though, the best comparison may be the Alberta Heritage Fund that has seen non-renewable resource wealth invested for future generations. Exactly what the money would be used for is something with which Lingenfelter and the NDP are more than a little vague. How much we should set aside, as opposed to using to pay down debt; and whether it s accumulated through additional royalties taken from potash, gas and oil companies, are serious questions that could have a negative impact on us if not dealt with correctly. As suggested earlier, the details of what s being proposed are worthy of election debate. But less debateable is the value in the concept ‒ the notion that oil, gas and potash are one-time resources and extracting all of the wealth now without leaving some legacy for future generations of Sas-

Waldheim First Responders recognized for their life-saving efforts Heart attack victim credits quick response and training of First Responders for recovery

FIRST RESPONSE Waldheim s First Responder program made a life-saving difference earlier this summer when Don Unger suffered a massive heart attack. He was revived thanks the timely efforts of a trio of First Responders who were on the scene in ﬁve minutes. (Left to right) Don Unger, Marion Unger, Chris Enns, Lana Wallace and Phil Daku.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Don Unger of Waldheim is living proof that trained First Responders in rural communities save lives. On the evening of June 30, 2011, Unger collapsed at his home after suffering a massive heart attack. His wife, Marion, immediately called 911, where MD Ambulance dispatcher Pamela Bueckert, a trained ﬁrst responder herself, guided Marion and a bystander in applying CPR. The dispatcher also alerted Rosthern Ambulance and the Waldheim First Responders to the emergency. Five minutes after the call was placed, three First responders, Chris Enns, Lana Wallace and Phil Daku, arrived on the scene where they continued with CPR and also utilized an automated external deﬁbrillator (AED). After the second shock with the AED, Unger s heart started beating effectively again on its own. The First Responders continued to work on him while the ambulance was

enroute. Twelve minutes later, an ambulance from Rosthern arrived. The Ambulance paramedics took over and transported Unger to hospital, while Chris Enns and an ofﬁcer with the Rosthern RCMP detachment accompanied the patient in the ambulance. After an initial assessment at Rosthern Hospital, Unger was immediately transferred to the Coronary Care Unit at Royal University Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. He was released a few days later, and has been recovering ever since. RESPONSE SAVED A LIFE It s a story that could have

Anniversary gift of life By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The gift of life was a priceless anniversary present for Marion and Don Unger. The couple were celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary, and had just returned from supper, when Don suddenly suffered a massive heart attack. Don and Marion were standing in their driveway, with a guest who was staying at their Bed and Breakfast. All of a sudden Don took one or two stumble steps forward and then he just slammed over backwards, with no warning, explained Marion Unger. I knelt beside him and he was foaming at the mouth, so I started to do CPR on him. Rick, our guest, tried to call 911 but he couldn t get any reception. So I told him to take over CPR and I ran into the garage and called 911 on our phone. Once she was patched through to the dispatcher, Marion relayed insttructions on CPR to Rick, who contineud to work on Don. When the First Responders arrived,

they continued CPR and were able to revive Don through the use of an AED. Chris Enns said the dispatcher was able to speed the First Responders to their destination by providing not just the address, but the name of the person. In a small town, that is so much more helpful, Enns said. Everybody knows everybody else. Phil Daku said the adrenaline kicked in when they arrived on scene. Doing CPR, he said, is exhausting. At one point, I started playing out, and so Lana literally put her hand on mine as I was doing the depressions and she set the pace, he said. Chris was doing the oxygen and talking to the ambulance, which was on its way. Marion Unger said she was unable to watch , even after the Rosthern Ambulance arrived on scene and transported her husband to hospital. Her neighbours, Arlene and Jake Klassen, drove her to Rosthern Hospital, and Continued on Page 22 Please see GIFT OF LIFE

had a much different ending if not for the prompt and professional response of First Responders, said Marion Unger. Speaking at a special tribute ceremony organized by the Saskatoon Health Region in Waldheim on Thursday, September 8, Marion Unger said without the immediate medical assistance provided by these trained volunteers, her husband may not have survived. It was their swift response and actions that I feel made the difference, Marion Unger stated. I also have tremendous gratitude for Pamela, the dispatcher, who provided calm, explicit directions regarding CPR, and would not allow me to hang up until the first responders from Waldheim arrived. She said she would like to see every village and town in Saskatchewan have their own first responder group with the necessary training and equipment , adding that she also encourages individuals to volunteer with the program. You don t need to be a member of a fire department to be a first responder, she said. The fire departments and first responders work closely together and support each other. COMMUNITY EFFORT Don Unger extended his gratitude to those who saved his life. I wish to thank the first responders of Waldheim for their rapid response with lifesaving equipment to our home, he said. The consequence of your timely response to a 911 call during the evening of June 30 saved my life. I stand before you tonight as living proof of your dedicated service to our community. I cannot offer praise and gratitude enough for your investment in making this a first responder community. COOPERATION NEEDED Chris Enns, one of the team who was on the scene

that day, said every volunteer in their town s ﬁre and rescue service has the same goal in mind: to make our community a better, safer place. He said the First Responders work closely with the Fire Department, and hold regular training scenarios aimed at keeping their skills sharp. There is also close cooperation with Rosthern Ambulance. It s pivotal for us to be on the same page, he said. In our small communities, we need to work together and support each other in order to be effective. Enns said he is thankful the team members who responded to the medical call that evening are now able to celebrate a saved life, but said they were simply doing their job. We just showed up on a medical call doing what we thought we should be doing, he explained. We responded to the emergency, used the AED and became part of something incredible. It could have been any of our First Responder team on that call, and I believe in each one of them and I am proud to vol-

unteer with them. They all deserve recognition for their hard work and commitment. Lana Wallace said she feels fortunate to be a member of the Waldheim Fire and Rescue team. When I moved here four years ago, I thought: How can I be part of this community? Then in the mailbox about 4 or 5 months later, I got a ﬂyer inviting people to become ﬁrst responders, she said. I thought that would be the best thing I could do to be a part of a team and part of the community, so I took the training with the rest of the

eleven people. Wallace said First Responders are everyday citizens who are part of a community. If we can take the training and save a life, I know that anybody in any community can do the same thing, she concluded. I hope from this event that there will be more people in our community and other communities that will want to become ﬁrst responders, because then more lives can be saved. That s what a community is all about ‒ it s about helping each other.

Prairie Spirit celebrates start of new school year By BRENDA ERICKSON Communications Consultant Prairie Spirit School Division

The excitement of a new school year was evident at the Prairie Spirit School Division Opening Day gathering on Tuesday, September 6. All Prairie Spirit staff members were welcomed to the annual staff gathering held at Warman High School. The staff gathering is a school division tradition, with the purpose of celebrating the start of the new school year as a larger staff team and awarding service awards to staff members. This is the only time throughout the school year that all Division staff members are together. The Opening Day celebration was a ﬁrst for the Division s new Director of Education, John Kuzbik, who joined the Division in July. Kuzbik addressed the gathering, explaining his philosophy of education and his hopes for Prairie Spirit. My sincere belief is that all children are capable of learning, and learning to high standards, Kuzbik said. What will be required of each of us to ensure student success? He concluded by saying that there is no limit to what students can do when they have the support and encouragement they need. Board of Education Chair, Larry Pavloff, also addressed staff members. Everyone here today is a colleague, Pavloff explained. We all have our different assignments and working groups or teams, but we are all one big Prairie Spirit team. Pavloff thanked the staff members for their dedication to their work. He said the students in the Division will continue to provide inspiration to all staff members as they

work together for student success. Kim Tournier (Non-union support staff), Grace Wudrick (CUPE support staff) and Cindy Clarke (Prairie Spirit Teachers Association) also brought greetings to the staff gathering on behalf of their staff associations. Musical performances by Austin Villarica, a grade 2 student from Warman Elementary School and Jylisa Knull, a grade 12 student from Clavet Composite School were high-

lights of the program. One of the main purposes of the program was the presentation of service awards to staff members with 20, 25 and 30 years of service. This year, 22 staff members reached 20 years of service, 27 staff members completed 25 years of service and 13 staff members celebrated 30 years of service with the Division. Staff members with 2, 5, 10 and 15 years of service will receive their service awards at the school level later this fall.

Prairie Spirit School Division employs approximately 1300 staff members, including bus drivers, caretakers, maintenance workers, teachers and other professional and support staff. Prairie Spirit students returned to school on August 31. Initial Prairie Spirit enrolment numbers for the 2011/12 school year show an increase from last year, with a total of approximately 9573 students throughout the Division.

RM of Corman Park council okays Langham land annexation By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park council approved plans by the Town of Langham to annex three parcels of land aldjacent to the town on the north side of Highway 16. The annexation request, which was approved by the RM Council at its September 12 regular meeting, involves a 17-acre parcel of crown land that will be used to realgin the main entrance to the town, a second parcel of land that contains the town sewage lagoon, and a third parcel that is used for a service road maintained by the Town of Langham. A fourth parcel consisting of 52 acres south of Highway 16 was not approved for annexation, however. In its initial request for annexation last fall, the Town

of Langham asked for all four parcels. However, that request was modiﬁed last month. In granting the annexation request, Corman Park councilors acknowledged the land north of the highway would not represent a significant tax loss, and would facilitate the town s long-term community plan. The land south of the highway, however, may be suitable for light industrial or commercial use, and negotiations between the town and the RM on future use of the land will likely take place. SAMSON REMOVED FROM POLICE COMMISSION Corman Park Division 3 Councilor Lynne Samson was removed from her post with the RM Police Commission. In a move which caught Samson by surprise, she received a

letter from Reeve Mel Henry informing her that she was terminated. Samson questioned both the termination, and the manner in which she was informed of the development. She said appointments to committees are more appropriately handled by the council as a whole. Reeve Henry justiﬁed his action, saying it is within his jurisdiction to appoint coun-

11093PS02

cilors to various commissions and committees. The whole thing was done legally, Henry said. I have proceeded in a way that is legal. Division 9 Councilor Wendy Trask was appointed to the Police Commission to replace Samson. DEVELOPERS SEEK MORE APPROVALS A pair of delegations appearing before council at its

September 12 meeting called for increased approval of residential and commercial development proposals. Gord Gunoff said he has been pushing for 12 years to lower the minimum land requirement for residences, claiming it would increase tax revenue for the RM. Rick King, a part-owner of Moody s Equipment, also advocated opening up the process to enable more developers to submit proposals. He claimed approving more residential and comemrcial developments would be a win-win situation for everyone. We have a $3.5 million expansion underway, which will be a big tax generator for the RM, he said. Corman Park is in a favourable position to expand in the future. Give developers the opportu-

nity to show you how much money we can make for the RM. King said too often regulations unduly restrict developers. That s not free enterprise, he said. Let the developers spend their millons of dollars and let the free enterprise system pick out the best developments. Division 4 Councilor John Germs noted the RM is set to undertake a comprehensive review of development throughout the RM, and said he is looking forward to all proposals coming forward. He added that it costs the municipality considerable sums to maintain infrastucture to service devlopments, and they need to be situated in areas that are in the best interests of the RM as a whole.

Excitement of new academic year takes hold at Bethany College By DARLENE DYCK Communications Co-ordinator Bethany College

Bethany College welcomed our first-year students to campus on Sunday Sept. 4, 2011. It is always exciting to see the faces of these students as they haul their belongings into the dorm and meet roommates for the first time. Returning students set up, registered and readied themselves to welcome these new peers to our community on Friday and Saturday. It is amazing to see empty rooms transform and in about 30 minutes, vans are unloaded, boxes unpacked, beds made and parents given a quick hug before students whisk away down the hall with new friends. (Pictured: Jill Wikkerink (on left), second-year student, helps Sidney Knull, firstyear student move into dorm on Sunday. Both are from Bow Island, AB) Opening week is a busy one for everyone on campus. Student Council, STUCO, plans a full week of welcome activities and orientation, as well, classes begin and auditions all start immediately. Students at Bethany are encouraged to use their fine arts talents in service and are given the opportunity to audition for Music Ministry with Point of Impact (a mixed genre vocal ensemble), Fixed on Faith (a service worship team), House Band (leads music regularly during

tained a farm in Georgia where for the ﬁrst time blacks and whites worked together side by side and for equal pay. Contrary to country-wide racial tensions in the 50 s and 60 s, the Koininia farm existed for any who would come and live in harmony with them. Millard Fuller, who brought his young family to the farm, would later birth Habitat for Humanity. Clarence Jordan s purpose for this book, a colloquial translation of the gospels of Matthew and John was that: By stripping away the fancy language, the artiﬁcial piety, and the barriers of time and dis-

tance, this version puts Jesus and his people in the midst of our modern world, living where we live, talking as we talk, working, hurting, praying, bleeding, dying, conquering, alongside the rest of us. It seeks to restore the original feeling and excitement of the fast-breaking news̶good news. Over a dozen productions of this musical will be presented in the coming months all over America, and we are excited to share it with you. Jordan s words are powerfully accompanied by the music and Lyrics of Harry Chapin. As this Gospel begins, they

In the books: Delisle Rebels earn 100th win By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Delisle Rebels earned their 100th win in convincing style last Friday, downing the visiting John Paul II squad from North Battleford 74-0 in front of a sun-drenched, appreciative crowd. Led by Des Vessey with four touchdowns and Logan Frohaug with three, the Rebels dominated the field both offensively and defensively to improve their record on the season to 2 and 0. If that trend continues for the rest of the schedule, 2011 will be the fourteenth consecutive winning season for the squad. Since the football program started in Delisle in 1998, the Rebels all time record, including regular season and playoffs, is now 100 wins, 20 losses and 1 tie. The team has two provincial championships under its belt (2002 and 2003) as well as two second place finishes provincially and numerous North West League championships. But getting that 100th win is worth celebrating, noted Rebels head coach Ken Byers. It was a big accomplishment for the team, said Byers after the game. Last year was the first year we started looking at our past record, and so it s been something the kids have been shooting for since last season. They were really looking forward to today because they had the chance to make it an even 100 wins, and they played hard and made it happen. The aspect of the game that really stood out for Byers

was the performance of the junior players, especially the junior defense. They re really exceeding our expectations, said Byers. He said another positive aspect of the contest was that virtually everyone on the team got some playing time. We were able to get lots of guys on the ﬁeld, especially the younger players, so they re able to get better for their next game, and for next season. Despite the lopsided score, Byers gave credit to the North Battleford squad, which was playing only its second game of its ﬁrst season. The visitors didn t quit, and in fact came close to breaking the shutout on the last play of the game, only to be stopped inches from the Rebel goal line. Byers said it was important for the Delisle team to

play hard for 60 minutes. We thought that if we were lucky enough to get a bit of a lead, then we wanted to make sure we still played at a hundred percent, he said. When h Warman was in its ﬁrst year, the ﬁrst time we played them, we didn t push very hard, and a lot of our kids got hurt because they didn t execute plays very well and their timing was off. It s important to play the game at full speed regardless of the score. Besides giving playing time to junior players, the game provided an opportunity to practice some new plays for the offense, said Byers. He said that despite the lopsided score, there is still plenty of room for improvement. We ll have a look at the video and see where we can

do better, he said. We play Meadow Lake next week and that s a game we ve had circled on our calendar for a while. Another upcoming game that is highlighted on the schedule is a night game in Delisle on Thursday, October 6 against the visiting Martensville Royals. The game is set to go under the lights at 7:00 p.m. It s always a lot of fun, noted Byers. We rent a full set of ﬂoodlights and it s a big deal here. We often get close to 800 people at the game, which isn t bad for a town of about 800 people.

Green and White tsunami decimates Swaggerville...again The Riders bagged the swag. One week after upsetting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers by 20 points in the Labour Day Classic, Saskatchewan went into Swaggerville and destroyed the Bomber Blue Bombers 43-25 in Sunday s Banjo Bowl to complete a home-and-home sweep. The last time they swept the Bombers was 2009 but back then they were expected to. No, no one saw this coming. You could almost sense a victory in the Classic due to the emotional return of Ken Miller to the sidelines but the

Banjo Bowl outcome seemed to be, at best, a toss-up. However, the Riders had other ideas. Despite a slow start which saw them fall down 10-0 early, Darian Durant ﬁred three touchdowns in the second quarter to give the club a lead it would not relinquish. By the time the clock expired in the fourth quarter there was no one left in Canad Inns Stadium but Rider fans. I am so proud of the men in this room, gushed Miller after the game. We overcame adversity and distractions. It was a big win in a hostile

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network

place. The men showed a lot of character. The turning point in the game had to be the ﬁrst-half sack on Winnipeg quarterback Buck Pierce by rookie Rider safety Craig Butler which sent Pierce s helmet ﬂying 10 yards. Pierce was never the same after that, as he

threw ﬁve interceptions on the day including two to Butler. It was the season debut for Rider slotback Andy Fantuz and he was limited to just two catches. However, his impact on the game was immense. They were doubling Fantuz all day and it opened

up things for Getzlaf and Dressler, Durant explained. That s the impact he has, the attention he draws from the defense. They can t just key in on Getz and Dress anymore and that makes us a whole other animal to deal with. It s difﬁcult to explain the grip Ken Miller has on this team but it s immense. The ﬁring of coaches Greg Marshall and Doug Berry on August 19 was criticized by many across the land, even by some in the Rider Nation, but the critics have nothing to say now. At least not at the moment. The club is still a distasteful 3-7

and out of a playoff spot but they re 2-0 under Miller. It s hard to say what the difference is, Butler said. The locker room atmosphere, the way we practice now. We all believe. Sometimes you need to make a change and it s been for the better. We re playing Rider football from what I ve seen watching this team the past four or ﬁve years. There s an old saying that two s a ﬂuke, three s a streak . But if the Riders pull out another victory over the 2-8 Toronto Argonauts Saturday in Regina, I think we can safely say the Riders are back.

Martensville Royals pick up first win of the season against Unity By BILL REWUSKI jrewuski@hotmail.com

The Martensville Royals scored just one touchdown, but it was enough to beat the visiting Unity Warriors 7-0 last Friday. It was a bright, beautiful day for Game 2 of the Martensville Royals regular season. Despite the hot, dry weather, the game was played on a wet, soggy ﬁeld - due to over-watering. The sloppy conditions slowed both teams offenses down. Martensville s best drive came off a 35-yard kickoff return by Shayne Hayward followed by a 28-yard pass to Cody Nesbitt, before being stopped on downs at Unity s 7-yard line. Unity s runing game, led by Dustin Wallace, with several 10 to 20 yard runs, was the Warriors only bright spot. On the ﬁnal play of the game, just as the Warriors threatened to tie the score

and go into overtime, Unity s hopes were dashed when Bayden Zybytoushy failed to hang on to a pass. The Royals defense was the story of the game, led by Brendon Bosch. The home team s defense dished out at least ﬁve bone-crushing hits that slowed down the Unity drives. The Royals defense also accounted for the only score in the game at 4:53 of the third quarter. Warriors quarterback Justin Gerein threw an errant lateral pass that was picked off by the Royals Boden Young at Unity s 17-yard line. Young ran it into the end zone for 6 points, and Royals kicker Brayden Heck was good on the convert. The Royals are now 1-1 on the season. Their next game is September 16 in Kindersley. Their next home game at Geransky Field is September 20 when they host the Kindersley Cobras.

Hague Panthers in tough against heavy-hitting Rosthern Longhorns By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Hague Panthers put up a good ﬁght, but in the end, the numbers were against them. The Rosthern Longhorns, a combined team made up of students from Rosthern High School and Rosthern Junior College, are a big, strong, wellcoached team. They have a lot of players ‒ and a lot of depth ‒ on their roster. The Longhorns rolled into Hague, and rolled over the Panthers 57-8, last Thursday in the opening game of the 6-man high school football season. It was a pretty lopsided contest, conceded Panthers coach Kelly Lungull, but to our credit, our guys played hard and didn t quit. They kept playing even though they were getting manhandled a lot of the time. Overall, I think we did okay. We hung in there. There was no complaint from any of the Panthers bench about not getting enough playing time, that s for sure. We only had 14 players on our roster, so we were able to get everyone in the game, said Lungull. We have some pretty good core athletes in Grade 12, but unfortunately

for our program a lot of them have chosen to work parttime rather than play football. Lungull said because of the small student population in the school, it makes a big difference in the viability of the football program in the long run. We re at a low point in

close by half-time, noted Lungull. But we ended up with the ball in our own end on kick returns and were faced with that big long ﬁeld to contend with. Against a powerful team like Rosthern, you re going to have problems. But win or lose, Lungull said the football program is a vital part of a school culture

11093CP00

Hague Panthers played in front of a supportive crowd.

the cycle right now, he said. Hopefully we ll see those numbers pick up in the coming years, but in a competitive league like this, you really need about 20 to 25 kids in the program to keep it going. Despite being outnumbered, the Hague squad did manage to hold their opponents to only two touchdowns per quarter, and even racked up a touchdown of their own in the second quarter. It was actually still pretty

because of the team values it helps instill in young athletes and fans. It does contribute to kids development, he said. I think the most important thing is developing a positive attitude, and encouraging responsibility. The kids on the team all contribute by setting up the equipment for the games and taking everything down afterwards. They bring out the water, they do all those things, so that s all very positive.

Gazette Silver Bell Charity Golf Classic combines fun & fundraising By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A new tradition is set to kick off early next month at the Legends Golf Course in Warman. The Clark s Crossing Gazette Silver Bell Charity Golf Classic is scheduled for Sunday, October 2. According to Glen Belliveau, one of the organizers of the three-person scramble format tournament, the proceeds from the event will go towards the Warman Sport

and Cultural Village (WSCV). The idea for the tournament was hatched by Belliveau and fellow golfers Steve Silvernagle and Terry Jenson. We decided we wanted to have a fun tournament to help wrap up the end of the season, explained Belliveau. We want to do it up right, with some really good prizes. We have a couple of corporate sponsors that are offering $4500 packages for a hole-in-one. He added that donating a portion of the money raised

during the tournament to the WSCV fund was a way of giving back to the community of Warman. We contacted the Town of Warman and they were more than happy to oblige, commented Belliveau. It s a great facility, but there s a lot of money that still has to be raised. The organizers used a play on words to come up with the name of the tournament. Combining the ﬁrst parts of Steve Silvernagle s and Glen Belliveau s surnames

11093MC00

resulted in Silver Bell , and Terry Jenson, owner and publisher of the Clark s Crossing Gazette, lent the paper s name to the event. The entry fee for the tournament is $60 per person for Legends Golf Club members, and $120 for non-members. That includes a power cart and 27 holes of golf, as well as two meals and prizes, explained Belliveau. Tournament organizers are hoping to attract 36 to 40 groups of golfers. We d deﬁnitely like to see

it become an annual event, noted Belliveau. This is open to any skill level, and because it s one of the last events of the season, we re hoping people will come out and have a good time. Registration ends September 24. Golfers can register as individuals or as a team at the Legends Golf Club pro shop or by phoning Glen Belliveau at 220-6065 or e-mail at

glen.hansonrv@sasktel.net; or Steve Silvernagle at 270-7263 or e-mail at silver74@sasktel. net .

Dalmeny tournament to raise funds for community daycare Dalmeny Daycare Inc. will be hosting an Adult 4 on 4 Street Hockey Tournament on September 24, 2011 to raise funds to open a daycare facility in Dalmeny. The newly incorporated organization has been focusing on establishing its operations over the last year. In June a formal board of directors was established consisting of, Alisa Perrin (Chair), Dallas Ferster (Co-Chair), Vivien Robb (Treasurer), Scott Burant (Secretary), and Danelle Sabadash. The board has been supported by Sydney Bell, KidsFirst Saskatoon Community Developer from the Saskatoon Health Region. The board has received positive support from the Town of Dalmeny. Perrin indicates that , For us as a board, our goals are to create awareness in the community and be able to raise enough money to build a child friendly daycare facility. As a daycare, our mission is to provide high quality childcare, which develops the children socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically through loving childhood educators. It is also our goal to provide a service to the community that takes the stress off of working parents of ﬁnding good quality childcare. To launch the fundraising effort, an adult street hockey event seemed to naturally ﬁt in a community that is heavily involved in hockey according to Perrin. Interested participants can register as an individual or as a team for $25 per person by September 20th at dalmenydaycare@hotmail.com or by phone at 230-8586. Community members are encouraged to become involved in the fundraising efforts of Dalmeny Daycare INC., and to stay in contact with the organization through their Facebook page and email.
