Unique vehicle gives firefighters an advantage By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

ith a brand-new, custom-designed fire truck, the Martensville Fire Department (MFD) has a potent weapon in its fight against fires of almost all types. The $120,000 vehicle is a Ford F550 Quick Attack truck with fourwheel drive capabilities, perfect for rapid response in fighting grassfires, as well as all types of building and vehicle fires, according to Russ Austin of the MFD. It s the kind of vehicle that can carry up to six firefighters and get us where we need to go in a big hurry, explained Austin. It s a one-ofa-kind fire truck that we designed from the ground up and had specially manufactured to meet our needs. Austin said the MFD decided a few years ago to draw up specifications for a truck that would fill the bill. We looked at what we would want if we had only one truck to go to every single fire, explained Austin. We said: What do we want the first truck at the scene to have? We wanted something that could quickly knock down a fire, but would also be flexible enough to handle any situation. After coming up with the specifications, and working within a budget of $120,000, the fire department then sought out a manufacturer that could custom build the truck they were after. They found an Ontario

The Quick Attack truck features a built-in 320 gallon-per-minute pump, a tank that holds 400 gallons of water, a 20-gallon container of Class A Foam (creating 1,600 gallons of firefighting capability) as well as jump seats that allow firefighters to handle hoses while the truck is moving ‒ a great asset when battling grassfires.

company, Eastway Manufacturing, that agreed to customize the vehicle. The firefighters couldn t be happier with the result. It is absolutely one-of-a-kind, confirmed Austin. There is no other truck like this anywhere in Canada or the U.S. It s a one-stop shop as far as firefighting equipment goes. Everything we need is right on board. It s a heck of a piece of firefighting equipment to have at our disposal, and it will be used throughout the

North Corman Park region. The fire department raised $60,000 on its own, and borrowed $60,000 in bridge financing from the City of Martensville. That bridge financing was due to be paid back over a period of years. But last week, that debt was paid off two years early. A cheque covering the entire sum was presented to City Council at its weekly meeting. Continued on Page 7 Please see QUICK ATTACK TRUCK

GATEWAY PLAZA IN MARTENSVILLE

The accident occurred shortly after 8:00, when a westbound pickup truck crossed the highway into oncoming traffic. The truck failed to yield and proceeded into the southbound lanes of Highway 11, directly into the path of a motorcycle. The collision resulted in non lifethreatening injuries to the motorcyclist. He was transported to hospital by MD Ambulance after being attended to by Warman First Responders. Rubin Neufeld of Warman witnessed the accident and called 9-1-1 after initially attending to the accident victim. The guy who was crossing the road didn t even see the bike, said Neufeld. There was a vehicle in front of the motorcycle, and I guess the driver of the truck thought it was clear after that and he drove right into the path of the bike. The bike Tboned the truck at probably slightly less than highway speed. Neufeld said the motorcyclist was pretty banged up but was able to move his arms and legs. When I saw him laying on

the ground I put my truck in park, jumped out and went over to him and then called 9-1-1, Neufeld said. The RCMP were there right away, and the First Responders were there in under five minutes. According to RCMP Sgt. Warren Gherasim, a 22-year-old Saskatoon man is facing charges of failing to yield at the intersection. This is one of several high-risk intersections in the area north of Saskatoon where we see a lot of accidents, said Gherasim. The number one problem is that people fail to stop and fail to yield. Gherasim said there are roughly 7,000 vehicles per day on average going in and out of Warman onto Highway 11, and the number is similar in Martensville for traffic using Highway 12. The biggest threat to public safety in this area is traffic accidents, continued Gherasim. People need to exercise caution and patience at these intersections. These aren t outof-the way rural towns anymore, these are suburbs of Saskatoon. MANY VIOLATIONS Ironically, the Warman RCMP were conducting a stop sign check at the intersection of Highway 11 and the south entrance to Warman at the time of the collision. Gherasim said 20 tickets were issued at the south intersection that morning. Similar numbers of tickets were issued over the past few of weeks at both Warman and Martensville.

Second-year students in Professor Karen Tonino s class in the Plant Sciences program at the University of Saskatchewan received a ďŹ rst-hand look at the business of horticulture during a tour of the Little Tree Nursery in Martensville on September 24. Dea Fehr (pictured at left) and her husband Darryl started the business about 30 years ago in Saskatoon as a hobby, and moved into their present location in Martensville a decade ago. They currently have about 70,000 plants under cultivation, and ship to customers across Saskatchewan and western Canada. During the peak season the ďŹ rm employs about 15 staff.

Smoke alarms focus of Dalmeny fire inspections Fire Prevention Week in Canada runs October 9-15 and members of Dalmeny Fire and Rescue will be calling on each residence in the community to offer to test the operation of each installed smoke alarm.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states that Almost two thirds of home ďŹ re deaths resulted from ďŹ res in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms .

This fact highlights the importance of regular checks of smoke alarms. During this campaign, smoke alarms that require batteries will be changed at no cost to the residence.

School bus changes for Warman, Martensville By BRENDA ERICKSON Communications Consultant Prairie Spirit School Division

Prairie Spirit School Division will be offering new bus service for students in the City of Martensville and expanding bus service for students in the Town of Warman effective Monday, October 3. Parents with students in these communities must go to the Prairie Spirit website: www.spiritsd.ca/parents/ transportation.htm to determine if their child is eligible for this transportation service. Eligibility for bus service is now based on the student s

walking distance from their school (approximately one kilometre minimum). The Prairie Spirit Board of Education made the decision to offer busing in Martensville in accordance with its policy regarding student transportation and in response to a request from the City of Martensville. There are potentially 350 students in Martensville who will benefit from the busing service. Some students in Warman have received in-town busing for the past two school years. This year, the Board of Education approved an expansion

of the criteria for bus service, with the result that the number of students receiving intown busing in Warman could double to an estimated total of 750. As a result of the expanded service, there may be changes to existing bus routes. If changes are made, students will be contacted and will receive new bus passes. Changes will also be posted on the Division s website. In order to accommodate these new routes, the Division purchased four new 85-passenger buses this summer. In cooperation with the Town of Warman and the City of Mar-

Wish Warriors leading country in fundraising The little team of the Warman Wish Warriors is in the lead in Canada. With an overall goal of $10,000, and less than $4,000 to go, the group is proving that the generous people of Warman care about kids. The Children s Wish Foundation is having their annual Wishmaker Walk for Wishes Oct. 15 in Saskatoon.

All are welcome to attend. It is a short walk so wish kids and all ages can manage the fun walk/parade. Registration is at 10:00 a.m., and the walk begins at 11:00 at Victoria school on Broadway in Saskatoon. With a team of approximately 15 kids and helping parents, the group has raised a lot of funds in a short period

Retail sales up in province Retail sales picked up in Saskatchewan during the month of July. The growth of an economy is dependent upon confidence, Enterprise Minister Jeremy Harrison said. The Saskatchewan economy has been a top performer in the nation, and as a result, families are feeling confident to make purchases that help support economic growth. According to Statistics Canada, retail sales were up by 7.6 per cent in July 2011 over July 2010. That percentage increase was the second highest in Canada, and surpassed the nation average which posted an increase of only 3.9 per cent. The economic reality is that Saskatchewan has one of the best, if not the best economy in Canada right now, Harrison said. With sound financial

management by this government and positive forecasting for the future, consumers are feeling confident about their own financial situation and can afford to purchase goods and services that improve their quality of life.

of time. The windup will see prizes handed out to those who have worked hard at raising enough for one child to get a wish. If the full amount is raised, the team leader is going to shave her head, so if you want to help out call 2910597.

tensville, the Division has determined bus stops in each community. The school division website provides instructions for parents to follow to request busing for their eligible children. An application must be submitted to Prairie Spirit s Transportation Department in order to confirm eligibility and receive a bus pass. All students must display their bus passes in order to ride the school bus in Warman and Martensville. Completed forms must be returned to Prairie Spirit School Division by fax to 374-2862 as soon as possible. Parents may call Prairie Spirit s Bus Garage at 374-2496 for more information. With these expanded and additional bus routes, Prairie Spirit will transport nearly 5,000 students to school throughout the Division every day. Bus drivers in the school division drive close to 22,000 kilometres each day which is over 4 million kilometres for regular routes in a school year.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2011 • PG. 6

Pinpointing where the NDP and rural Saskatchewan parted ways It's tough to pinpoint exactly when the NDP and rural Saskatchewan parted ways. Some suggest it was a gradual process that had much to do with economic transformation. As rural Saskatchewan became more economically dependent on the oil and gas sector, entrepreneurial small implement manufacturers and large-scale farming operations, it slowly became less entwined with the philosophies that made CCF-NDP governments from Tommy Douglas on so successful. In other words, as grain elevators run by a co-operative like the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool vanished, so did NDP support. Others argue it was death by a

MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics

1,000 cuts from successive NDP governments largely dominated by urban lawyers: The Allan Blakeney government's tax on larger capacity grain trucks and its opposition to progressive innovation like inland terminals; the Roy Romanow government's cancellation of the General Revenue Insurance Program (GRIP) contracts with farmers in 1992 and its contem-

plation of turning paved roads back to gravel, and the Lorne Calvert government's ill-advised musing of forced rural municipal amalgamation and its failure to properly address things like education tax on agricultural land. But if you ask many people in rural Saskatchewan about this issue, they tend to mention one of two specific events during the Romanow era. While there may be tendency of kindhearted rural people to forgive and forget, they seem less willing to do so on these issues. And they may be in an even less-forgiving mood, given that they have just been subjected to a couple recent reminders. The first issue isn't the most egregious cut that rural Saskatchewan has faced, but it has evidently left a deep scar. We're talking about the 1999 election ‒ or, more specifically, the timing thereof. The election was called in early August for a Sept. 16 vote date. A more inconvenient time for farmers dealing with harvest could hardly have been imagined. The NDP government offered a plethora of excuses as to why this was the only time that the election could have been called, but the immediate and lasting suspicion is that it was a cynical strategy aimed at keeping farmers from getting out and voting for the then-young and hard-charging Saskatchewan Party. Whether a horribly insensiitve oversight or a crass political move, it produced a near NDP wipeout in rural Saskatchewan. And while the much-beleageured current NDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter clearly hopes rural Saskatchewan will forget the timing of the 1999 vote, the emergence of Brian Topp as the frontrunner to replaced departed federal NDP leader Jack Layton has given the story new legs. Topp, then a key Romanow strategist, was one of those blamed for the strategy. There again, it's quite likely the NDP wouldn't have done very well in

1999 anyway, given rural Saskatchewan's anger at time over closing 52 rural hospitals six years earlier. The NDP government in the 1995 election weathered rural Saskatchewan's initial wrath over the hospital closures, largely because it could rightly blame the decision on the financial mess left behind by the former Progressive Conservatives. But they didn't forget the hospital closures in 1999 and really haven't forgotten about them in elections since. In the coming Nov. 7 vote, they just received another reminder in the form of a new book by former NDP Assiniboia-Gravelbourg MLA Dr. Lew-

is Draper. An ardent opponent of the closures even then, Draper takes no prisoners in his book, Health Care Deform in Saskatchewan: How not to improve health care. He lambastes his former colleagues and their decision-making process and ridicules the "wellness model" cited by the government as the replacement strategy. "I developed a deep loathing for the hypocrites I had fallen amongst," Draper writes. Rural Saskatchewan has had plenty of reasons not to support the NDP. Of late, they've also been given a couple reminders.

Contentious issues raised at RM of Corman Park ratepayers meeting In the emotionally-charged atmosphere of the Corman Park annual ratepayers meeting on Wednesday, September 21, even the routine election of a meeting chairperson was a point of contention. Two candidates, Corman Park Reeve Mel Henry and George Janzen of Blumenheim, were nominated to chair the meeting, which was attended by nearly 100 ratepayers. Janzen was chosen through a show of hands by ratepayers to chair the evening meeting. Janzen said he was striving for neutrality and pledged to conduct the session in a fair and civic way, and urged those at the meeting to refrain from personal attacks. In his report to ratepayers, Henry said the RM undertook the largest gravel program in its history, spending over 1 million dollars to gravel over 500 miles of roadways throughout the municipality. We sourced good gravel at a price that was unbeatable, he stated. We ve also spent a lot of time repairing roads.

Ratepayers raised a number of other concerns at the meeting, including potential environmental impacts of the proposed Fortune Minerals processing plant near Langham on the Dalmeny aquifer, the re-routing and rebuilding of a number of provincial highways in the RM, and the upcoming referendum on electoral boundaries for divisions within the RM. DIVISION ELECTIONS Nominations for this fall s election in the even-numbered divisions closed on September 21, a few hours prior to the ratepayers meeting.

QUICK ATTACK TRUCK The truck has a built-in 320 gallon-per-minute pump, which makes it ideal for both wildfires in rural areas and structural fires in urban settings, Austin noted. This truck will do the same amount of work as bigger fire trucks that cost a lot more, but this one will get to the scene a lot quicker, he said. Time makes a big difference when you re going to a fire. If you can get there in three minutes with this truck and be pumping water within five minutes, that s a lot better than a 10-minute drive with a big pumper truck. It might make the difference in saving a life. The 400-gallon tank on the back of the truck is also equal in size to the tank on the department s large aerial truck, added Austin. When the water is treated with a Class A Foam agent stored in a specially-designed 20-gallon container, the firefighting capacity of the water is quadrupled. The foam is a wetting agent that makes the water work more efficiently, he said. We can effectively turn 400 gallons of water into 1,600 gallons, because the treated water suffocates the fire more effectively than water alone.

Austin said the four-wheel drive capability of the truck will be especially useful in rural areas, particularly in wet years when roads are washed out. We usually respond to about 6 to 10 grass fires over the course of a season, he said. In a wet year like this one, there are fewer grassfires, but they re harder to get to. I think we had about 40 roads this spring that were impassable. But in a situation like that we could simply cut across a field and be there very quickly. The truck, which can also

Fatal rollover near Asquith A 43-year old Saskatoon woman is dead following a singlevehicle rollover near Asquith. The accident happened one kilometre west of Asquith on Highway 14 around 6:40 a.m. on Thursday, September 22. The woman, who died at the scene, was a passenger in the vehicle. The name of the deceased is not being released. Three other people in the vehicle, including a 19-year-old male, 17-year-old female and 14-year-old male, were transported to Royal University Hospital and were reported to be in stable condition. Warman RCMP, MD Ambulance, first responders and members of the Asquith Fire Department responded to the call. Alcohol was not a factor in the collision, according to police. The highway remained open to motorists while an RCMP Collision Analyst investigated the scene. MD Ambulance would like to thank the first responders and volunteer firefighters who responded to this tragic accident and did a great job prior to our arrival, stated MD Ambulance spokesperson Troy Davies.

The mutual aid agreement in place between the Martensville Fire Department and their colleagues in Dalmeny, Langham, Warman and Osler allows more efficient use of everyone s resources, added Austin. Now that we have a truck like this, anybody who has a wildland fire is going to be calling us right away, he said. If there is a vehicle fire on the highway, we can be rolling in this truck in no time. It eliminates the need to bring a big pumper truck. Austin said the specifications for the truck are available to any other fire department that is looking to custom-build a similar vehicle.

Royals fall despite solid defensive effort By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

he Martensville Royals are hoping to iron out the bugs in their offense sooner rather than later. Because despite getting way more playing time than they d like, their defense is holding up its end of the bargain. Were spending a lot of time working on our offensive drills during practice, confirmed Royals head coach Lyle Evanisky. We ve improved a lot since Week 1, but unfortunately it s just not showing on the scoreboard. The Royals offensive miscues were evident last Tuesday, September 22 when the Kindersley Kobras rolled into Geransky Field and stole a 12-4 victory over the host team. Despite a strong defensive effort that kept Kindersley off the scoreboard for three of the four quarters, the Royals sputtering offense had trouble finding the end zone.

In fact, it was the defense that registered Martensville s four points - pinning the Kobras in their own end zone and forcing them to surrender a couple of two-point safety touches. It was a pretty good effort by our guys, noted Evanisky after the game. But our offense still isn t scoring points. Our defense only gave up 6 points, and we threw one interception for a touchdown, so if we can limit those mistakes and actually pick up blocking assignments and score some points, we have a good football team. Evanisky said the squad is close to clicking on the offensive side of the ball, but time is running out in the relatively short high school football season. Sometimes we just aren t able to execute, he said. And last week we had a lot of trouble with timing. What we need are nine guys on the field all working together and follow-

ing their assignments. Still, everyone is working hard and they re learning. I m proud of their effort. The Royals have two road games over the next two weeks: Meadow Lake on Friday, September 30 and Delisle on Thursday, October 6. The game in Delisle is a night game

that will be played under the lights. Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m. The Royals next home game, which also marks the end of the regular season, is Friday, October 14 when they play John Paul II Collegiate from North Battleford. Game time at Geransky Field is 4:00 p.m.

Fort Carlton Hockey League teams set to hit the ice By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) is gearing up for the start of a new season. At a league meeting in mid-September, nine of the ten teams that were in the league last year have indicated they ll be returning, according to league president

Ray Baumann. Blaine Lake indicated last spring that it would be dropping out, explained Baumann in an interview September 16. But at this point, the rest of the teams have all stated they are planning on returning. Those teams include Rosthern, Hague, Shellbrook, Warman, Dalmeny,

Waldheim/Laird, Bruno, Tisdale and Beardy s. Tisdale and Beardy s were admitted to the league last year. The final day for confirming the teams participation in the upcoming season is October 12, noted Baumann. We ll be having a scheduling meeting on October 12, so that s the deadline, he said.

At that point, any team that drops out will have to pay a fine because we would be forced to redraft the season schedule. Baumann said senior hockey in general, and the FCHL in particular, offers fans a unique brand of fast, comContinued on Page 24 Please see FCHL HOCKEY

Surprisingly, Blades sweep Raiders to open WHL new season The Prince Albert Raiders felt they were ready to start avenging their secondbest status in head-to-head meetings with the Saskatoon Blades going into the 2011-12 campaign. P.A. will have to wait until October 29 to begin that process! For the second straight year, the Bridge City swept a season-opening, home-andhome series with the Raiders. The Blades nipped Prince Albert 4-3 Friday at Credit Union Centre and followed up with a 5-3 triumph Saturday at the Art Hauser Centre. Saskatoon has now won 17 of the last 26 regular-season meetings with the Raiders…plus won an opening round playoff series 4-2 last spring! (Saturday), our old guys

led and our young guys followed, explained Blades assistant coach Dave Struch following the second game. Goaltender (Andrey Makarov) did a great job for us and it was, all in all, very successful. The home-and-home start to the season was the 13th time in Blades franchise history that they have done so against Prince Albert, with Saskatoon recording their fourth sweep. Overall, it s the seventh 2-0 start to a season against the same team for the Bridge City Bunch. ***** UPCOMING ‒ The Blades third game of the season is Friday against Red Deer before a Saturday visit to Brandon.

bad habits in practice, said Struch when talking about having five off-days between games. It s going to be a long week, maybe some conditioning, and get these guys ready (for the weekend). Once again, all Saskatoon games are broadcast live on 92.9 FM (92-9, THE BULL) with pre-game shows starting a half-hour before puck drop. Friday s home game against the Rebels begins at 7:05 with the Saturday contest in Brandon starting at 6:30. ***** BLADES PLAYER OF THE WEEK ‒ Jesse Paradis was picked up off waivers from Moose Jaw last Wednesday as an insurance policy in case Darian Dziurzynski doesn t return from Phoenix s American Hockey League affiliate in

Portland, Me. The low risk investment paid off handsomely over the weekend when the 20-yearold Winnipeg product scored three goals and added an assist. Two of the goals were scored while Saskatoon was short-handed while the other came on a Blades power play. The man advantage tally, along with a shorty while the Bridge City Bunch were two men down, came in Friday s triumph. His Saturday short-handed marker snapped a 3-3 tie and turned out to be the game-winner. The former Warriors and Kelowna left winger only notched 28 goals in four previous WHL seasons...with only nine last year and a career-best 11 in 2009-10 with Moose Jaw.

After slow start, Clavet Cougars dominate Warman Wolverines By PAT PECKOVER peckpatr@uregina.ca

I

t s a learning year for both teams, but the Clavet Cougars were definitely ahead of the pack during a game against the Warman Wolverines on September 23. The Cougars hosted the Wolverines in the teams first meeting of the year, but they didn t prove to be very hospitable, defeating their guests 54-12. The game got off to a slow start as neither team could put together a sustained offensive drive until halfway through the first quarter when Clavet s Thomas Blahun

teamed up with quarterback Evan Fiala for a pass and run play which gave the Cougars a 6-0 lead. Warman had threatened earlier in the quarter, but couldn t get the ball into the end zone, a problem that would plague them throughout the game. We left too many points inside the 10-yard line, said Tyler Scheidt, Warman s head coach, after the game. We need to try and find a way to get in there. With only six points on the scoreboard at the end of the first quarter, it appeared that the teams were headed for a defensive battle, but

Clavet changed the game with a touchdown on their opening play of the quarter. Once again a pass and run play ̶ this one 97 yards ̶ led the team to six more points. That was the beginning of the end for the Wolverines as the Clavet offence took control of the field. Warman got one touchdown in the second quarter, but the Cougars led 20-6 at the half. Warman threatened several times in the third quarter, including a long run by Wolverine quarterback Logan Misskey that ended in a touchdown, but the play was called back on an illegal blocking penalty.

Hague Panthers rediscover pride By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

he Hague Panthers earned their first victory of the season on Monday, September 26, with a convincing 44-7 win over the Birch Hills Marauders. The win was fuelled by a new attitude among the team, according to head coach Tom Mufford, an alumni of Hague High School who graduated in 2001. That attitude, he said, is one of pride. Mufford played for the Panthers when he was in Grade 11 and 12. He and his brother Stu stepped in to help coach after the team got off to a rocky start at the beginning of the season. We just want to instill in the players the same feeling and the same attitude we had when we played for the Panthers years ago, said Mufford in an interview after the game. We really felt like the community was behind us, because it s not just a high school football program, it s a community program. So we ve done a bunch of things, including put in new bleachers, because we really want to get more people out to the games. We ve got some new sponsors and we re getting new equipment. We want to show that the team is something the community can take pride in. And in order for that to happen, the team itself has to take pride in itself, said the young coach. It s not enough to have the skills, you also have to learn to develop the right attitude, he noted. It s all about how you carry yourself on the field and off, how you work in practice, and how you behave in the communi-

ty. You have to be an upstanding member of the community. That s part of being on the football team. Mufford has developed a strong rapport with the young athletes on the team, and they ve responded to his coaching. Despite having a short bench, the Panthers played a solid 60 minutes, with many players doing double duty on both offense and defense. In the contest against Birch Hills, a new team in the league this year,

the Panthers built up a 21-0 lead by halftime, added two more touchdowns in the third quarter and salted the victory with a major in the fourth. It felt good to get that first win, for sure, confirmed Mufford. We ve been practicing hard and learning new things over the past couple of weeks and it showed today. The Panthers next game is in Hague on Thursday, October 6 when they host the Aberdeen Crusaders. Game time is 4:00 p.m.

gars saw the end zone several time in the quarter and led 38-6 heading into the fourth. Cougar Brody Senger got the first points for his team in the fourth quarter, intercepting a tipped Warman pass and running it in for a touchdown to give his team a 44-6 lead. Warman got their only other points of the game on a long, scrambling run by quarterback Logan Misskey, making the score 46-12. Clavet ended the game with another interception that led to a touchdown and a successful two-point conversion attempt to end the game. This was a more onesided game than I thought it would be, said Cougar coach Shaun Priel after the final whistle. This is Clavet s first year playing the nine-man game, having moved up from sixman because of an increasing school population. We didn t know what to expect this year, so we just prepare as best we can for every game, Priel said. The Cougars only have 15 players for the 18 possible spots, so many of the team are playing both offence and defence, he explained. As well, the Cougars lost 14 Grade 12 players last year and only have six on this year s team, leaving to a very inexperienced group to figure out the new format. The kids are learning on the fly, but they are growing as players every week, Priel noted. We re not big, but we re athletic and we use that to our advantage.

Priel is also happy with the offensive play of the team. We ve got a Grade 9 quarterback (Evan Fiala), but he s able to stay in the pocket and feed the ball down field, he explained. He had, like, six TD passes in this game and in the first game, he had 17 TD passes. We re happy, we re excited and the players continue to grow every game, Priel stated.

Warman is also in a new situation this year. This is our fourth year playing nine-man, but this is a new league for us, explained Scheidt. There are some good teams for sure. Both Warman and Clavet now sport 2-2 records and are looking forward to increasing the numbers in the win column. Clavet s next home game is October 7 when they host Tisdale.

Unfortunately, however, their charity includes poisoning lonely old men who come to their home looking for lodging. The two women are assisted in their crimes by their mentally challenged nephew who believes he is Teddy Roosevelt and who frequently blasts a bugle and yells ‘‘charge’’ as he bounds up the stairs. Matters get complicated when a second nephew, a theater critic, discovers the murders and a third nephew appears after having just escaped from a mental institution. In his adroit mixture of comedy and mayhem, the playwright, Joseph Kesselring satirizes the charitable impulse as he pokes fun at the conventions of the theater. CASTING NEEDS:

or, in lieu of meeting these requirements, may require them to provide a criminal record check.

x Any person acting as a volunteer for school sponsored activities that have direct or sole responsibility for providing supervision of students.

Prairie Spirit School Division Policy 501 – Sections 7 and 8 - Criminal Record Checks for Volunteers As a School Division we are always working to create a safe environment for our students. We have learned about extra measures we should be taking to ensure safety beyond the regular classroom with respect to our volunteers. We are hopeful that our parents and community will understand and support this new measure to further protect our students.

x Any person acting as a volunteer for school sponsored overnight activities. Parent volunteers (including grandparents or legal guardians) who are volunteering and are under the supervision of a Prairie Spirit employee do not require a criminal records check if they are simply working in the school on a daily basis. Schools may, however, ask new parents or parents

If you are a person who is volunteering in one of our schools and we require a criminal record check, we will ask you to read our policy, so that you understand the implications. Please check with the Principal or Vice-Principal to confirm if a criminal records check is required. If while volunteering, you are charged with a criminal offence, we are asking you to provide us with that information, again, with the thought that we always want to do what is best for the safety of our students. We are proud to work toward creating the safest possible environment for our students. Your support is appreciated!!

Changes to Warman In-Town Busing The in-town busing service for students in the Town of Warman – which has been offered to students living more than one kilometre from their school – will be expanded for the 2011/12 school year, effective Monday, October 3, 2011. The boundaries will now reflect the one kilometre walking distance to school, instead of the one kilometre distance (as the crow flies). The Prairie Spirit Board of Education revised the in-town busing boundaries in response to feedback from parents. Please go the Prairie Spirit website at www.spiritsd.ca/parents/transportation.htm to view maps and detailed bus routes. Parents with students who are newly eligible for in-town busing must complete the required Bus Transportation Request Form (found on the website) in order to request busing service and receive the necessary bus pass. Completed forms must be returned to Prairie Spirit by fax to 374-2862 or by email to: nancy.matechuk@spiritsd.ca as soon as possible. As a result of the expanded service, there may be changes to existing bus routes. If changes are made, students will be contacted and will receive new bus passes. Changes will also be posted on the Division’s website. As a result of this expanded bus service, the number of students receiving in-town busing may double to an estimated total of 750. Please contact Prairie Spirit’s Bus Garage at 374-2496 with any questions about this bus service.

Delisle Chiefs maul PA Ice Hawks By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

he Delisle Chiefs are in great shape heading into the regular season of the Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL), says Dave Norris, head coach of the Junior B squad. We think we have a pretty good team this year, said Norris during an interview last week. A lot of the guys have been with this us for three or four years now, and they really want to win the league championship. That s our objective. After a convincing 11-2 victory over the visiting Prince Albert Ice Hawks in Warman on Friday, September 23, the Chiefs are certainly on a roll - even if it is only pre-season. Delisle potted three goals in the first period, added five more in the second, and connected on three more in the third as they took advantage of defensive breakdowns by Prince Albert. Eric Ditto led the way for the Chiefs with a hat trick, while Russ Schneider, Chris Sawatzky, Justin Kerr, Mitch McNally (2), Jesse Osiki, Marshall Siemens, and Cody Regier also scored. It s still pre-season and we re just trying to work on a few things, said Norris. Today our power play worked well, so that makes a difference. With so many positives, the team s coaching staff will have some hard decisions to make before the start of the regular season, acknowledged Norris. The strong performances by both returning veterans and young prospects during the pre-season shows the

players are serious about going all the way this year, according to the coach. We have about ten or eleven veterans who are 20 or 21, and probably six 19-year olds, said Norris. Last year we were a young team, and in junior hockey every year really makes you a lot better. Among the returnees are Chiefs captain Russ Schneider

of Martensville, goaltender Cam Irwin, snipers Justin Kerr and Eric Ditto and defenseman Jesse Osika. Norris said the strong goaltending provided by Irwin provides the team with a good foundation. Cam is in his third year with the league, and he s almost made Continued on Page 22 Please see CHIEFS WIN

It showcases our community spirit, and gives us a chance to let people know what a great community we live in. It also offers people who live in the town and surrounding area an opportunity to look at the community in a fresh light. It was actually a real eyeopener for all of us, Voldeng said.

He may have been matched with two new linemates, but it was a lot like old times for 35-year old veteran forward Ryan Smyth. It s exciting to be back in an Oilers jersey, said Smyth following Edmonton s 4-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks at Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon September 20. I never wanted to leave in the first place. But things happen for a reason, and I m excited to be back. It s also nice to be back in Saskatchewan even for an exhibition game. It s awesome, Smyth said with a grin. I played my juWEBSITE EXCLUSIVE nior career in Get stories like this plus more photos Moose Jaw, and before anyone else! Breaking news I remember as it happens online for free at: coming here www.ccgazette.ca to Saskatoon. The Blades had great fan support back then, and it seems like they still do now. People in Saskatchewan love their hockey. Especially NHL hockey. The near-capacity crowd of 12,375 fans were almost evenly split in their support between Edmonton and Chicago, as people jumped at the chance to see a handful of stars backed by young prospects vying to crack the lineup. For the Oilers coaching staff, it was an opportunity to see how their first-round draft pick, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, would fare in his first NHL game. The 18-year old from Burnaby, BC was slotted into a line with Ryan Smyth and Jordan Eberle. The combination proved to be the Oilers best line of the night. Not only did they account for most of the offense, they effectively limited the space for the Blackhawks explosive captain, Jonathan Toews. Smyth picked up the opening goal in the game early in the second period after pouncing on a rebound from a shot by NugentHopkins. His other linemate, Jordan Eberle, notched the game-winner late in the third after picking up a loose puck near centre ice and firing a low shot from the left side that beat Chicago goaltender Alexander Salak. We developed some chemistry on our line, said Nugent-Hopkins. Ryan Smyth is awesome to play with. He s obviously been around for a while and he s a great guy to learn from. Nugent-Hopkins admitted he was a bit nervous taking the opening face-off against Jonathan Toews, but he was also happy to be given the assignment. It was pretty cool, he said. I ve watched Jonathan Toews for a long time now and obviously he s one of the best players in the league, and a great face-off man. It was great going up against him for sure. Who won the face-off? He got the first one pretty easy actually, admitted Nugent-Hopkins with a grin. The Oilers led 2-0 on the strength of goals by Smyth and Josh Green, before the Blackhawks Rostislav Olesz and Jamal Mayers tied the score in the second period. After Eberle s spectacular goal put the Oilers ahead for good, Josh Green added an empty-netter to seal the deal with less than 4 seconds left in the game. The Blackhawks superstar captain played alongside his younger brother David for several shifts. He said it was a great experience playing in front of a packed arena. It s always fun to play in these towns, said Jonathan Toews. They re excited to see NHL hockey. It was the first game for both teams. There were some good plays and some sloppy plays both ways, so you never know which way the game is going to go. The Blackhawks outshot the Oilers 28-26. Oilers Coach Tom Renney said pre-season games are important for evaluating the younger players, but he bases his decisions over several weeks. He said while NugentHopkins played a strong game, it s too early to say whether the junior-age player will remain in the big league. I thought he was solid, said Renney, in reference to Nugent-Hopkins first game in the NHL. He shows the wherewithall that everyone expects from him. The puck doesn t intimidate him. He knows what to do with it when he s got it. As we go through this pre-season and teams play with more NHL type rosters, it will be a little easier to assess what he s all about at that level. Renney said there is a possibility of more Oilers pre-season games in Saskatoon. It s up to the management, he noted. But I m all for playing in a Western Hockey League town anytime.

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN It s not all black and white, so don t try to make it that way. Listen to all sides, Capricorn, and then make your decision. Adventures sizzle on the weekend. AQUARIUS Get ready for an interesting week, Aquarius. Love heats up with a trip to someplace nice, your inner circle expands and drama plays out at the office. PISCES Fess up, Pisces. Things are not going as they should, and you re to blame. Give the reins to someone else. Dreams remind you of unfinished business. ARIES You loved and lost, Aries, and now it s time to pass on your words of wisdom to a young friend. Plan an outing to take their mind off what has happened. TAURUS Money woes come to an end with a promotion. Get ready to strut your stuff, Taurus. You have so much to add, and you ll prove it with a stellar performance right off the bat. GEMINI Opportunity arises. Seize it tight, Gemini. A rare find gets the weekend off to a great start. Friends and family stop by often to chat. CANCER Draw the line, Cancer. You know where you stand on the issue, and just because no one else agrees with you doesn t mean you should budge. LEO Realism sets in, and you discover that you have taken on the impossible. Failure is not an option, Leo. Look beyond your inner circle for the assistance you need. VIRGO You don t have to win every time. Let go and let someone else shine, Virgo. A friend shows amazing courage in the face of adversity. Learn from their example.

LIBRA Yeehaw, Libra. You re back in the saddle again. Take it easy and give yourself some time to adjust before you go all out and show the world what you ve got. SCORPIO Cha-ching, Scorpio. You play your cards right, and you win big. Cut loose and have fun. A memo provides direction on a cumbersome project. SAGITTARIUS Life is full, Sagittarius, too full. Scale back and delegate where you can. A web of deceit begins to fall apart at the office. Steer clear of it.

BORDEN & DISTRICT News By LORRAINE OLINYK lolinyk@sasktel.net

Borden & area News for September 26th BORDEN VOLLEYBALL Borden School volleyball teams did well on Saturday, September 24th, with the Senior Boys winning first in their home tournament, the Senior Girls placed first in a tournament in Langham and the Junior Boys placed first in a tournament at Colonsay. RADISSON TOPS Radisson TOPS had their area captain Debbie Bergen from Vanscoy attend their Thursday morning meeting on September 22nd and did a program on Super Foodswhat they are and how they help your body. THRESHING DAY Borden s 25th Annual Threshing Day was held on a beautiful hot day, September 24th, and over 400 people were at the site north of Borden to watch the different events and have soup, borsch, bread jam & beverages at the McCheane-Wake Cook car. The gates opened at 10 a.m. with Jean Hryniuk & Ann Kohut manning the registration desk and handing out bulletins, then Ann Brand and Rosemarie Willis took over. During the morning there was some bindering with horses and stooking, Mel Henry was poughing and on horseback directing cars to parking were Peggy & Darrel Walker, Melissa Saunders, Becky Cutting, Jason & Sheri-ann Hanley while David & Sam Derbawka were at the road directing traffic. The Parade of Power was at noon with Flag bearers on horseback Melissa Saunders and Becky Cutting, followed by Brad & Gay Funk s team of grey Percherons pulling a democrat, then Stew Walton drove Louise Saunder s team pulling a carriage with MLA Randy Weekes and pioneer John Newbold, 97 years old and owner of land where the threshing site is located, and Pat Crush drove a Percheron X team and democrat with Glen Wright, NDP candidate for Wanuskewin. There were many teams pulling equipment- Eldon Downing from Dalmeny, Randy Wolfe from Dalmeny, Neil Bartsch and his Clydesdales from Martensville, Shirley Skolnik & John Enns with a 1/4x appaloosa pulling a cart, Rod Malinowsky of N. Battleford, Greg Malinowski of Lloydminister, Derek Malinowski of Battleford all with heavy horse teams, Dave & Linda Wiebe of Martensville, Gordon Gerbrandt & Morris Mariott of Saskatoon with a ¼ horse team hitched to a stagecoach, Ken Crush with his Percheron X team and Tra-

vis Waldner s team pulling the binder.

After the parade there was stationery engines display by Dave Saunders of Saskatoon, Fairbanks Morse engine pumping water with a Baker pump jack & Treherne well pump belonging to Will Batty of Spiritwood, the 1948 Coop E tractor ran the buzz saw for sawing wood and the 1945 W6 international ran the hammermill for Clive Wensley to chop up the sheaves. The team horse competition with 15 teams competing went on after 1 p.m. with Travis Waldner placing 1st, Rod Malinowski 2nd and Ken Crush 3rd. A number of guys, children and some women tried their hand at people plowing with Clive directing the plow, then the threshing machine was fired up and the threshing began, followed by 6 vintage tractors showing their expertise at tractor balancing. The cook car was kept busy serving borsch, soup, bread and beverages, even though many wasps were trying to get at the food and a few people got bitten.

CHIEFS WIN

MOTORCYCLE CRASH

Continued from Page 15

Continued from Page 3

Based on the number of violations, the stop sign checks will continue, and may even increase, said Gherasim. Over the last three weeks, we ve issued 117 tickets for failure to stop at a stop sign, said Gherasim. That shows how serious the problem is. When you have four lanes of traffic travelling at 110 or 120 kilometers per hour, and that many vehicles entering and leaving these intersections, you need to come to a complete stop and really analyze the situation before you enter the intersection. He added that with the weather expected to turn colder in the next few weeks, road conditions will also play a bigger factor. It will take that much lon-

ger to stop, he said. Especially if you are travelling at highway speed. Gherasim said taking a few extra seconds to make sure it s safe before entering an intersection can spell the difference between life and death. People say they get frustrated when the police give them a ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign, he said. But those stop signs and yield signs are there for a reason. I have been to too many accident scenes where we have had to put injured and deceased people into the back of an ambulance. Gherasim added there will also be strategically-placed checkstops from now until after Christmas to target impaired drivers.

the all-star team in each of those years, so I think that s going to be one of his personal goals this year for sure, he said. Chris Sawatzky of Hague, who played last year with the Warman Wildcats Midget AA program, is one of those prospects looking to crack the roster. Norris said recruiting talented young players from the area is one of the strengths of the Chiefs. We have a bunch of kids from Clavet, and we have several from the other towns around Saskatoon, he said. The Chiefs played their last pre-season game on Sunday, September 25, and started their regular season on Tuesday, September 27 when they faced off against the

Saskatoon Quakers at Harold Latrace arena. Results of that game were not available at press time. The Chiefs take on the Saskatoon Royals on Friday, September 30 at Latrace Are-

FCHL HOCKEY petitive hockey. The communities where the FCHL is represented have the opportunity to see some very good senior hockey, he said. The Fort Carlton League ranks right up there as one of the most competitive leagues in the province. We also have some of the best rink facilities anywhere in Saskatchewan.

whole there have been very few lopsided scores over the course of the season, he said. And in the playoffs, it s very close. Last year, for example, there was a four game semi-final series between the Prairie Outlaws and the Sehellbrook Elks that went into overtime for three of those games. One of the challenges for the league is the growing tendency of elite players to shop themselves to the highest bidder, noted Baumann. What ends up happening is that teams that are success-

ful seem to be the targets of players who want to be part of a winning team and are looking to be paid, he said, adding that one team reported they had texts from six different players asking if they were interested. Traditionally, senior hockey is all about guys who live and work in a town, or who played their minor hockey in that community, he said. It s really up to the teams. Parity among teams is important, but the league can t stop players from moving.
