Warman-area man gets jail time for drug trafficking A 28-year old man from the Warman area convicted of drug trafficking and posting fraudulent advertising on kijiijji has been sentenced to 3 years, 10 and a half months of jail time.

Trevor Robert Payne was sentenced in provincial court in Saskatoon on Wednesday, October 26.

Payne was sentenced to four years in total but received credit for six weeks served in remand since his arrest.

Payne was charged with 2 counts of fraud, 4 counts of false pretenses, and one charge of theft under $5000 in September, 2011. He had post-

ed fraudulent online advertisements for an acreage in the RM of Corman Park near Warman for sublet or rent. He did not own the property at the time and was in the process of being evicted by his landlord.

In addition to jail time, Payne is also prohibited from owning a fi rearm for ten years, and is required to submit a DNA sample. He is also required to pay restitution to the victims he defrauded.

During Payne’s court hearing, it was revealed the defendant was also involved in drug trafficking. At one point he owed $9,000 for drugs and was behind in his rent to the

landlord of the acreage.

Judge Marilyn Gray said during the sentencing that the drug charges were serious. Payne was caught with one kilogram of cocaine and

176 grams of marijuana. He had been monitored by the RCMP for two months before his arrest, during which time he made at least 3 trips to BC that were drug-related.

Corman Park votes to reduce number of electoral divisions

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

E

very time Delisle Fire Chief Allan Dreher and his colleagues respond to an emergency, they’re never sure what they’re going to see when they get to the scene.

“Each call is different,” said Dreher in an interview at the Delisle Fire Hall in late October.

“Highway 7 is a very busy, narrow, two-lane highway, and we get a lot of calls at all hours of the day or night – in all seasons. I would say that well over half our calls are medical emergencies.”

With a coverage area of over 2,000 square miles, including a 78 kilometer stretch of one of the busiest highways in the province from Harris to Saskatoon, the Delisle and District Firefighters and First Responders know that when the alarm rings, they haven’t got much time.

“We only have basically an hour from the time an accident happens until the time the victims should be in hospital,” said Dreher. “With the area we cover, time makes a big difference.”

And with the recent purchase of a new medical rescue vehicle, they’ll be able to shave even more precious seconds off that response time.

The one and a half ton, fourwheel drive Heavy-Duty 4500 Dodge Ram is not designed for firefighting, although it will be used as a “command centre” at fire scenes, noted Dreher.

About 8 months ago, Dreher and several other members of the department drew up the specifications they needed for the new vehicle. Arrangements were made through the Delisle and District Fire Commission, the department’s governing body, to purchase the truck from Auto Clearing, a Saskatoon Chrysler dealer.

The box was custom-built by General Body, a Saskatoon manufacturing firm. The graphics were designed by Glenn Thomson, Chief of Police for the RM of Vanscoy.

One of the big advantages of the truck is its ability to carry five people as well as AEDs and other life-support equipment. The truck is equipped with an inverter that converts 12 volts to 110 volts, allowing the emergency responders to operate lights and power tools.

“We bought a new set of extrication tools a year ago,” explained Dreher. “They’re an expensive touch - about $20,000, but they will cut through a lot of the new hightensile strength steel that the old ones simply couldn’t handle anymore. We bought our first set of ‘Jaws of Life’ about thirty years ago, and they were pretty well

A new four-wheel drive custom-designed medical response truck is the latest addition to the fleet for the Delisle and District Fire Rescue Service. Fire Chief Allan Dreher (right) says the $85,000 vehicle was specially built in Saskatoon to the fire department s specifcations. It can carry five First Responders and all the medical gear needed to deal with most accidents that occur within the department s 2,000 square-mile coverage area. (Clark s Crossing Gazette photo by Terry Pugh) worn out.”

While the fire department has used the new vehicle a few times since it was delivered a month ago, it is still not fully-commissioned.

Medical gear is still being moved from the department’s old van, a 1970s-vintage former ambulance.

But once it is fully-equipped, the $85,000 truck will be comparable to an ambulance. “We’ll be able to do anything an ambulance can do except transport patients,” said Dreher. A state-of-the-art radio system connects the department to a dispatch centre in Prince Albert.

“It’s basically a one-of-a-kind truck,” said Dreher. “We do quite a bit of rescue work on the highway, especially during storms, when the RCMP and everyone else can’t get out of town. That’s where the 4-wheel drive aspect is going to be really nice, in circumstances like that.”

The new vehicle is fully paidfor, thanks to a grant from the RM of Vanscoy, internal fundraising, and a federal-provincial grant designed for municipalities purchasing rescue equipment.

LARGE DEPARTMENT Compared to many rural fire departments in Saskatchewan, the Delisle and District Fire and Rescue Service is quite large.

“We have about 13 trucks in total right now in the fleet,” expained Dreher. “Some of them are getting pretty old, but the Fire Commission recognizes that we have to Continued on Page 16 Please see FIRE TRUCK

Multiple fires at the same time pose a challenge

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

While over half the calls received by the Delisle and District Fire and Rescue service are medical emergencies, there have been some serious fire calls, according to Fire Chief Al Dreher.

“Most recently, there was a very serious grassfire just west of Delisle that spread very quickly right to the edge of town,” Dreher stated.

The fire occurred Wednesday, September 28, the same day as the major wildfire just outside Radisson.

Fuelled by winds in excess of 60 kilometers per hour, a small grassfire that began about a mile west of Delisle burned its way across an open field to the very edge of town.

“In less than 5 minutes it had gone over half a mile,” recounted Dreher. “I had a truck out in the field as soon as I saw the fire, but it was already halfway to town by then. And by the time we got another truck on the scene the fire was literally on the doorstep of the town.”

Dreher said they were able to extuinguish the blaze before it spread to any buildings. “It could have been very serious,” he acknowledged.

He said the fire originated at the town dump. “Someone had done some burning at the dump a few days earlier, and on that day, the wind really picked up and it re-ignited some smouldering embers.

Even though we’ve had a lot of rain this year, that grass is actually very dry, and it provided ideal fuel for the fire.”

Dreher said there were also some serious moments during a storm that occured over the July long weekend.

“When that storm hit, we had about 8 fires going on right in town over the course of a few hours,” he said. “They were all caused by electrical power outages. Trees got blown over into power lines.”

Dreher said the department had to scramble to battle all the fires in close succession. In some cases three or four fires were burning simultaneously.

“It was very unusual,” he said. “We had trucks here, there and everywhere. I was trying to keep on top of the situation, and people kept reporting new fires even while we were responding to the last call.”

He said the department has agreements with the fire department in Asquith to provide coverage in the event that the Delisle department is tied up with fighting numerous fires within the district.

There is also an agreement in place with Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services for the area south and west of Saskatoon.

The results of two referendum questions held during the October 26 municipal election in the RM of Corman Park show a majority of ratepayers want to reduce the number of electoral divisions from 11 to 8.

But the final decision on whether to change the electoral boundaries will be left to the provincial Minister of Municipal Affairs.

On one of the two referendum questions, a total of 1272 votes went in favour of going from the current 11 divisions down to 8 divisions. A total of 847 voters were opposed to the reduction.

On the second referendum question, a majority of voters rejected the idea of keeping the number of divisions at 11, while realigning the electoral boundaries.

A total of 1304 votes were opposed to the question while 885 were in favour.

The referendum results will be discussed at the next RM of Corman Park council meeting on Monday, November 14. From there the results will be forwarded to the provincial Minister of Municipal Affairs with a recommendation from council.

The referendum was prompted by a petition presented to council last July signed by 1548 ratepayers.

The petition contained a question calling for the number of electoral divisions to be reduced from 11 to 8. A map with proposed realignment of electoral boundaries was also included with the petition, and was part of the referendum.

Under the provincial Municipalities Act, a petition signed by 15 percent of eligible voters requires the RM to hold a referendum.

The second referendum question asking voters if they favoured retaining the number of electoral divisions at 11, but realigning the boundaries, was introduced at a council meeting last summer by Corman Park Reeve Mel Henry.

The RM council voted to hold both referendums in conjunction with regularly scheduled RM councilor elections in even-numbered divisions.

“VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN” Garry Derenoski, spokesperson for the Corman Park Citizens for Democracy, and one of the organizers of the plebiscite calling for a reduction in the number of electoral divisions, said the results of the vote are clear.

“The voters have spoken,” Derenoski said in an interview last week. “I’m hopeful the RM council will do what is required in section 137-7 of the Municipalities Act.” Section 7 of the Municipalities Act states: “If a proposed bylaw or resolution is approved by a vote of a referendum by a majority of the persons voting whose ballots are not rejected, the council shall Continued on Page 16 Please see CORMAN PARK VOTE

Good Politics vs. Good Policy Commentary by Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce CEO Steve McLellan

Provincial elections are an opportunity for politicians to engage in a conversation with voters about what kinds of policies they will implement if their respective parties happen to form government. While these conversations are an important part of our democratic process, there are often times when politicians suggest ideas that focus more on creating good politics than on creating good public policy.

In recent years, our province has enjoyed a long-awaited economic surge. Our mining sector has attracted unprecedented investment, the global importance of agriculture is being recognized and our energy resources are being further developed.

The strength of our rich resource base is attracting new business investment, with global companies and local enterprises entering the market or expanding their operations. As a result, we have more people working in Saskatchewan than at any time in our history and our province has had the lowest unemployment rate in Canada for seven consecutive months. The Bank of Montreal recently released its economic forecast, projecting that Saskatchewan’s real GDP growth will be the strongest in Canada in 2012.

It would be easy to now believe that the prosperity we enjoy today is secure for years and generations to come.

Yet, campaign platforms and political speeches serve as sharp reminders of how elections can influence economies and that one swift tug can create a significant drag on our growing business environment.

The debate over Saskatchewan’s potash industry - and specifically its royalty structure - is a case in point.

The current royalty system, introduced by an NDP government in 2003, made it economically viable for potash producers to commit to expansions in Saskatchewan. It recognizes that mine construction or expansions can take up a decade to complete and that the province will capture the benefits through higher employment during the construction period and increased production volumes when the project is complete.

Even though Saskatchewan remains the highest tax jurisdiction in the potash world, companies have made multi-billion investments in the province. These investments were not only unlikely under the previous system, they flat-out didn’t happen.

If we look only at PotashCorp’s expansions, the benefits of an investment-friendly royalty system are obvious.

Since 2003, PotashCorp has committed to almost $6 billion in expansions in Saskatchewan. According to economic impact studies, these projects are expected to create and sustain more than 14,500 direct and indirect jobs while increasing Saskatchewan’s annual GDP by nearly 10 percent, or almost $4 billion.

More significantly, when the new facilities are fully operational, they are expected to raise PotashCorp’s operational capability to more than 17 million tonnes annually. Assuming an average potash price of $550 per tonne, that would raise the company’s total tax and royalty payments to approximately $2.5 billion per year, with more than twothirds of that amount paid to the Government of Saskatchewan. This would not be just a one-time windfall. It reflects the benefits to the province of having a profitable and expanding business.

As other companies expand or enter the market, they too will add to the government’s potash royalty pie.

That’s why the prospect of changing Saskatchewan’s royalty regime is so potentially damaging. Finding companies willing to sink billions of dollars into a project when the rules of the game could suddenly change becomes a very challenging proposition.

While spirited debate and the free exchange of ideas is vital to keep our province moving forward, petty politics threaten the progress that has been achieved in recent times.

The current system was designed to encourage growth - and it is working. With fair and stable tax policies, Saskatchewan’s potash companies have made investments that are expanding Saskatchewan’s economy today and are expected to create a larger revenue base over the long term.

Even though making changes to Saskatchewan’s potash royalty rates might be a politically attractive suggestion during an election campaign, it would not prove to be a good policy decision over the next 4 years.

P ublishing

Sask. Party low-bid beats NDP high-hand The leader’s debate boiled down to a one-on-one showdown between NDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter and Saskatchewan Party leader Brad Wall.

Really, though, the real showdown was a few days earlier when the respective parties released their platform. It came down to two numbers – the $414 million in extra spending Wall says a Sask. Party government will spend versus the $2.7- to $3.1-billion being offered up by Lingenfelter’s NDP. In an election that seems far more about restraint than spending, most would agree that Wall wins in the battle of the platforms. Typical of a campaign in which a lot has gone wrong for Lingenfelter, they have been caught playing high-card draw in a low-card game.

Of course, the advantage Wall and the Sask. Party has is that they have been winning at a high-card game for four years and now have the advantage of being able to simply change the rules. Massive spending windfalls – especially in 2008 when the provincial government got an extra billion dollars in oil and natural gas land lease sales alone – allowed the Sask. Party to get away with massive spending.

Government expenditures have increased by a massive 29 per cent or $2.5 billion-plus in the past four years under the Wall administration.

It is one of the reasons the government has been in a deficit situation in two of the last three years (including this fiscal year). This good-times spending gives credence to some sort of Sovereign Wealth Fund similar to what the NDP are now proposing. At the very least, it does put into question exactly how solid the Sask. Party’s fiscal management has really been.

But despite the Sask. Party’s high-rolling ways (or perhaps because of them), Wall and company have placed themselves in a tremendously advantageous position of saying that now just isn’t the time for anyone to be making big spending election promises. They have a point.

It’s a position infuriating to NDP supporters who argue that a government that increased spending by $2.5-billion-plus is the last term of office should not be calling its opponents the Spend-D-P. But in the potcalling-the-kettle world of politics, there’s usually a reverse. And the reverse is that it’s been the NDP who have been complaining bitterly over the last four years of the Wall government, spending too much, not really balancing the budget, adding to debt and – get this – being too reliant on questionable potash revenue projections.

If the complaints are that the Sask. Party budget margins have been razor-thin, surely the same can be said about the NDP budget plan premised on potash royalty changes capturing an extra $2.3 billion in the four-year term (including $700 million more by 2015-16). That the NDP also says they will undertake a royal review (which one assumes will take time and whose results aren’t presumably not predetermined) makes it even more suspicious that the

MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics

province would garner that kind of potash money in that short of time.

(One can also safely assume the potash companies won’t be that eager to fork over the extra money.)

It hasn’t been so much that any of the NDP promises are outlandish.

Reader Opinions Theft of signs shows disrespect for democracy Thank you to all the citizens of Corman Park who voted for change and supported the referendum for 8 new divisions in the RM of Corman Park.

We achieved a decisive victory; the people have spoken.

In the last few days leading up to the election a majority of our signs were stolen in various locations throughout the RM. Our signs were purchased through generous donations made by Corman Park Citizens for Democracy.

The individual or individuals

responsible for the theft have shown lack of character, lack of honesty, lack of ethics and total disrespect for the democratic process.

The police are confident the perpetrators responsible will be caught and charged.

We are offering a $500 reward for information that will bring to justice the person or persons responsible for the vindictive theft of our signs.

But some of them – like the $57-million-a-year subsidy to achieve the lowest bundle of utility costs in Canada – aren’t that necessary. And others like the 400 megawatts of new wind turbine power or the negotiations of resource sharing with First Nations have no price tag.

The Sask. Party platform is likely too modest and doesn’t touch a lot of critical issues like a fairer price for our potash. But it is costed, targeted to some specific need groups like diabetics and the disabled and – most significantly – cheaper.

In this game, low bid wins.

Bethany College instructor remembered

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The main auditorium at Bethany College in Hepburn was packed last Friday as over 300 people attended a celebration of the life of the late Carl J. Goerz, a music instructor at the college.

Goerz died suddenly of a massive heart attack while walking his dog in Hepburn on Sunday evening, October 23. He was the husband of Susan J. Schmidt Goerz, a music and drama instructor at Bethany College.

Health care, infrastructure main issues in Biggar constituency

T

he Biggar constituency runs from just east of Delisle and Langham to west of Wilkie and Handel.

It runs from Denholm in the north to just south of Delisle.

It includes the communities of Maymont, Radisson, Borden, Langham, Sonningdale, Glendside, Wilkie, Handel, Landis, Biggar, Perdue, Asquith, Vanscoy, Delisle, and Springwater.

Voters in this riding have the most voices to listen to in this election, with five candidates running for the office of MLA. Incumbent Randy Weekes of the Saskatchewan Party is facing Darryl Amey of the Green Party, Glenn Wright of the New Democratic Party (NDP), James Yachyshen of the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan (PC), and Dana Arnason of the Western Independence Party (WIP).

WESTERN INDEPENDENCE Dana Arnason, the WIP leader, is running in his fi rst election campaign. He was involved behind the scenes with the WIP campaign in the last election, but was just elected leader in April.

Arnason believes that this election is about how many seats the NDP are going to lose as Premier Brad Wall of the Saskatchewan Party has acquitted himself well in his first term.

“I lived through two NDP administrations in B.C. and the second drove me out,” Arnason said. He hasn’t had a lot of time to campaign but says roads and increased government regulation are the issues people are raising.

“Roads are a huge issue,” he said. “Off the main highways, the roads are in bad shape. A lot of people are upset because they don’t see the portion of the gas tax that’s supposed to go towards roads being used.”

Voters are also complaining about government interference in their lives, Arnason said.

“They don’t like bureaucrats telling us how to behave,” he explained. “both the NDP and the Saskatchewan Party like big governments. They just get in the way of the private sector.”

Saskatchewan’s biggest problem, however, is being ignored by Ottawa, Arnason said.

“They treat us like a milk cow and the feds are not helping the provinces when they’re down,” he stated.

SASKATCHEWAN PARTY Incumbent Randy Weekes of the Saskatchewan Party says that the biggest issue being raised by voters is their fear of the effect of the proposed NDP policies will have on economic growth and business in the province.

“They are making irresponsible campaign promises,” Weekes said of the NDP. On the other hand, people are encouraged by our announcements, he added. Weekes points to the increased funding for people with disabilities and low income seniors as ways the

Saskatchewan Party is making sure the economic boom in the province is benefiting everyone.

“It’s always, as the government, our job to speak up,” Weekes said. “we have to look after people that are disadvantaged.”

The Saskatchewan Party is also promising to create 4,600 more entry level housing units, he added.

“We have responded to the issues, but with the very uncertain world economic outlook, we have offered a very practical, responsible platform that will keep our economy growing,” Weekes explained.

The Sask Party has also done a lot of work on infrastructure, including roads, in the province, he noted.

“The job isn’t done yet, which is why we will be spending $1.2 billion over the next four years,” Weekes said.

The issue of the federal government dissolving the Canadian Wheat Board’s (CWB) monopoly has also come up a few times on the doorsteps of voters, he noted.

“This is a federal issue, but the Sask Party has discussed the unknowns and has talked to the federal government about our concerns,” Weekes said.

Weekes watched the leaders’ debate and believes that his leader, Brad Wall, won.

Weekes is concerned about possible voter apathy as the polls show the Sask Party in the lead.

“People have to come out and vote,” he said.

NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY Glenn Wright, the rookie NDP candidate for the riding, says that the election doesn’t have any key issue drawing attention, although there are voter concerns about royalty revenues, health care and education.

“Potash royalty rates haven’t been reviewed since 2005 and the economy has totally changed. It’s time to look at it again, it’s almost irresponsible not to,” Wright said.

The NDP is also concerned about recruiting and retaining doctors, especially in the rural

have access to emergency care.

Infrastructure funding is also a major concern in the riding, Amey noted.

“The increase in heavy truck traffic has damaged the highways,” he said. “We need to get it back on the railroads.

Moving it to the highways was not in the interest of the public.”

Amey won’t take a stand on the CWB issue, except to say that the 60 per cent of farmers who voted to keep the board’s monopoly have a legitimate argument that the federal government is breaking the law by not consulting with producers before changing the law.

Amey also agrees with the NDP proposal to charge higher royalties on resource revenue, including potash and oil.

“We should slow the rate at which we are selling them out,” he said. “They belong to future generations as well as us. We must use them as carefully as possible and not just for shortterm profit.”

areas of the province, Wright said.

“As more people move to rural areas, we need more services,” he said. “The NDP is focusing on community access hospitals which have more nurse practitioners to help keep hospitals open,” he explained.

Infrastructure is also important in the riding, with voters concerned about the state of the roads, Wright said.

Wright watched the leaders’ debate, but thought it was kind of bland.

“There was not a lot of fire and sparks,” he explained. “I don’t think there was a true victor of the debate.”

He’s hoping the lack of fireworks in the debate doesn’t translate into low voter turnout. “I try to encourage voters to vote. That’s the basis of a healthy democracy,” Wright said.

GREEN PARTY Darryl Amey, the Green Party candidate for the constituency, also ran in the 2007 campaign and has been involved in the party for some time.

“This election is about some things that are being discussed very much,” he explained.

Those issues include the need to increase the province’s renewable energy generation and the development of nuclear energy.

“The Saskatchewan Party and the NDP are both pro-nuclear, it’s just not being discussed,” Amey said. “It’s not a popular way to go with the public, but they are going ahead anyway.

The rest of the world is moving away from nuclear development, we should be as well.”

Amey is also concerned about the possibility of importing and storing nuclear waste in the province.

“We want legislation to prohibit the importation and reprocessing of nuclear waste,” he said.

Voters are also concerned about health care and social issues, he noted. In the Biggar constituency, people are worried about health care in the smaller centres and how long they will

PC PARTY PC candidate James Yachyshen says that the rundown state of rural healthcare is the number one issue for voters in the riding.

“Rural healthcare is vitally important to the quality of life in rural Saskatchewan,” he said.

Yachyshen believes that further diversification of the rural economy, especially in the value-added field, is required to keep people living in the province. With the help of the government, communities must be able to improve and expand their infrastructure to attract business, he explained. Housing is cheaper and schools are closer in smaller communities, which only add to the higher quality of life in rural areas, Yachyshen added.

Yachyshen was disappointed in the leaders’ debate.

“I can’t believe that our party, a registered party, could not present its platform during the debate,” he stated. While Yachyshen doesn’t want to say the CWB should disappear, he does believe that if the federal government does dismantle the

wheat marketer, all the equity must go back to the farmers who built it up.

“There is no economic analysis being done to see how the disappearance of the CWB

would affect Saskatchewan,” he said. “We are hearing the same promises we heard when they dismantled the Crow Rate, but nothing ever benefited the farmers.”

Ten Decades of Dedication: Delisle Fire and Rescue celebrates 100 years of saving lives

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

I

n the summer of 1910, the residents of the tiny village of Delisle, a cluster of wooden frame buildings alongside the Goose Lake Railway line, held a meeting in their local schoolhouse.

The meeting resolved to form a fire brigade.

The need for a brigade was obvious, but the townspeople’s decision was probably helped along by a very persuasive sales pitch a few weeks earlier. A salesmen from the Brandon Engine Company sold the village council on the merits of an “Ever-Ready Fire Extinguisher”. The village purchased a “Double Forty” engine, as well as a couple of lanterns, a crowbar, a pick axe, an automatic hose reel, 6 fire buckets, a 16-foot extension ladder, and a gas drum with nozzle.

In the late 1920s, the Delisle Fire Brigade purchased its second fire truck.

The total investment: $690. That was a lot of money in those days. But compared to potential losses from a fire that could devastate a town in a matter of hours, it was well worth the cost.

A year later, in November of 1911, the fire brigade

built its first home, a small structure at 315 - 1st Street West. It had a bell tower where the firehose was hung to dry.

CELEBRATING A CENTURY A hundred years later, the Delisle and District Fire and Rescue Service traces its roots back to the efforts of those early settlers.

“The fire department is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year,” confirmed Delisle Fire Chief Allan Dreher. “We’re hosting a special event on December 10, where we hope to have the two former fire chiefs that are still alive attend, and we’ll have representatives from the provincial Fire Commissioner’s Office and the provincial 911 service, as well as provincial and federal representatives.”

The fire department has an annual Christmas function, but this one will be something special, said Dreher.

“It started out initially as a fire department for the town of Delisle,” explained Dreher. “ According to an historical summary of the depart-

ment, the early days of the fire brigade were busy. In 1914, the brigade responded to five fires and saved all five homes.

Through the 1920s, the department increased the amount of equipment on hand, and even had funds to reimburse the volunteer firefighters. By the end of the decade, it purchased a new fire truck to replace the one it had since 1918.

Langham Theatre Company stages Around the Clock Langham Theatrical Company director Sela Balzer is excited about the troupe’s dinner theatre play scheduled to open this weekend.

“It’s a great comedy, called ‘Around The Clock’

by Nick Hall,” explained Balzer. “It involves six ladies ranging in age from 30

to 60 plus years.”

The story revolves around a medieval German clock with life-sized moving figures of a saint, an angel, a knight and a wicked pagan queen. The clock has been purchased and is being shipped to the women’s town.

The women want to stage a publicity event to raise inter-

est and support for the clock in their community.

However, Balzer notes the relationships among the ladies are nearly as intricate as the clockworks.

“Hilarious complications arise as this explosive group works out the casting and the choreography,” she said.

Saskatoon Southeast mix of urban and rural

By PAT PECKOVER peckpatr@uregina.ca

T

he Saskatoon Southeast constituency is a mix of urban and rural areas running along the eastern side of Saskatoon and includes Riversedge, Furdale, Riverside Estates, Grasswoods, Casa Rio, Beaver Creek, Haultain, and Camp Dundurn, along with Briarwood, Lakeview, and Lakeridge areas in the city.

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE Incumbent Don Morgan of the Saskatchewan Party is facing challenges from Sarah Risk of the Green Party, Zubair Sheikh of the New Democratic Party, and Brenda McKnight of the Liberals.

According to Morgan, people who voted for the Saskatchewan Party in the last election did so with a certain amount of trepidation as they wondered if the party was really ready to form a government.

“Now, four years later, they see that we’ve done reasonably well and we’re asking for their vote of confidence,” Morgan said.

Voters are telling Morgan that they are glad the Sask Party has retired 40 per cent of the debt and want to see more of that.

“There are also issues with highways,” Morgan said.

“They’re happy with the construction of the south bridge in Saskatoon, but now they’re asking when are we going to get a north bridge.”

People are also concerned about the twinning of Hwy. 11 north to Prince Albert so they can access their cottages, he added.

Concerns about health care are also being raised, with waiting lists for specialists and procedures taking top place. People do appreciate the increased funding for autism supports and MS research, Morgan noted.

“It’s been a worthwhile thing to do,” Morgan said. “We have the highest per capita incidence of MS in the world. We have to do something.”

Education issues are also being raised with Morgan.

“There’s no school in the Stonebridge area and people are waiting for that,” Morgan said.

“And when there’s a teacher in the household, there are con-

cerns that the latest teachers’ contract wasn’t good enough.”

Morgan insists, though, that all the contract settlements the government has handled this year shows that they are “responsible stewards of the province’s money.”

What worries Morgan about this election is possible voter apathy.

“Regardless of what party you support, I urge everyone to get out and vote,” he stated. “It’s your democratic right. Exercise it.”

Fitness Tips with Valerie Kirk POSTURE....

Posture is an important consideration in all activities of daily living (e.g. walking, lifting objects, sitting). By keeping good posture you can make a difference to the long-term health of your spine.

Many postural problems are detectable at early stages, regardless of age. If these are not corrected, these issues will become more pronouned as you age.

1. What is posture?

Posture is a state of skeletal and muscular balance and alignment that protects the supporting structures of your body from progressive deformity and injury. Whether you are standing, lying, squatting or stooping, good posture allows your muscles to function with maximum effeciency. In other words, your skeleton takes it directions from the muscles. With good standing posture your body’s joints are in a state of equilibrium with the least amount of physical energy being used to maintain the upright position.

2. What is posture muscle?

Posture muscle help to fix or stabilize a joint (prevent movement) while other muscle create movement. They are composed of muscle fibers that have a particular muscle fiber that have a particular capacity for prolonged work. For example, as you are waling up a flight of stairs your body will tend to lean forward slightly (the movement), the posture muscle surrounding the spine help to prevent the upper body from falling too far forward.

Delisle Rebels take care of business in quarter-final Des Vessey (25) of the Delisle Rebels runs through a crowd of players, and thanks to some key blocks by his teammates, gets all the way to the Indian Head end zone to score the Rebels second touchdown of the game. The two teams were competing in a nineman football provincial quarter-final game held in Delisle on October 29. The Rebels went on to win the game 59-0 and advance to the provincial semifinal on November 5.

Delisle Rebels down Indian Head 59-0, prepare for Foam Lake in next week s semi-final in Delisle.

By PAT PECKOVER peckpatr@uregina.ca

I

t was a typical Saskatchewan fall day — the sun was shining and the wind was blowing. A 40 km/h wind, gusting to 70 km/h, was the backdrop for a provincial quarter-final nine-man football game between the Delisle Rebels and the Indian Head Broncs on October 29.

The Rebels, playing at home, had an unbroken streak of wins behind them, while the Broncs, in their first year of the nine-man football program, had the confidence that comes from making it to the quarter-final. Both teams had hopes of advancing to the semifinal, but in the end, it was the Rebels that dominated the game.

The Rebels got on the

Hague Panthers’ playoff run ends The Hague Panthers’ playoff run was cut short in Hudson Bay last weekend.

The Panthers lost 86-1 to Hudson Bay in the 2A 6-man high school football quarterfinal game in Hudson Bay last Saturday.

The loss spelled an end to the Panthers remarkable comeback season, which saw the team rally under rookie head coach Tom Mufford.

Hudson Bay now hosts Spiritwood in next week’s semi-final game. Meanwhile the Rosthern Longhorns play host to Watrous in the other semi-final game next weekend.

Clavet Cougars out The Cougars lost 56-32 to Melfort in a 9-man high school football conference quarter-final in Melfort last weekend.

Melfort hosts Meadow Lake next weekend, in one semi-final, while Delisle hosts Foam Lake in the other semi-final. The provincial 9-man high school football championship final takes place on Saturday, November 12.

scoreboard quickly thanks to Tanner Olson’s touchdown return on the opening kickoff, giving Delisle a 6-0 lead. The Rebels added to their points quickly, recovering the ball on the following kickoff and taking only a couple of plays before they were in the Indian Head end zone again. A handoff to Des Vessey, some fancy footwork and a few key blocks, saw the Rebels take a 12-0 lead before two minutes had expired on the clock.

Indian Head rallied, getting all the way down to the Rebels’ 10-yard line before a third down interception saw an end to that threat.

Delisle started at their own 10, marched down field and Vessey ran the ball in for another touchdown. With the score at 19-0, the Broncs had to punt and the Rebels took over at their own 35 just before the quarter ended.

Delisle kept control of the game in the second quarter, scoring another touchdown on a seven-yard run to make it 25-0. The Broncs started deep in their end and quickly gave up possession when Rebel Logan Frohaug intercepted a pass. The Rebels got another touchdown, running the ball in on third down, to make it a 31-0 game. The point after made it 32-0.

Frohaug got another interception on the following Indian Head possession, which also resulted in a touchdown two plays later.

With the successful point after, Delisle led 39-0.

The Rebels just kept adding to their lead, with two more touchdowns before the end of the first half, taking a 53-0 lead into the third quarter.

Delisle’s defence kept Indian Head off balance throughout the entire game, giving them no opportunity to put together any offensive drives. Besides threatening early in the first quarter and then late in the game, the Indian Head offence barely got within sight of the Rebel end zone. Rebel Dylan Larson’s interception early in the third quarter broke up another Bronc drive.

Delisle began substituting freely in the second half of the game, giving their younger players more experience.

The Rebels punted on third down with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter, gaining one more point when the ball went through the end zone.

Indian Head started on their own 35, but two quarterback sacks in a row forced them to give up two points on a safety.

On the Rebels next possession, the Indian Head defence stayed strong and forced Delisle to settle for a field goal, which made it a 59-0 game.

That was it for scoring in the game, with the teams trading possession in the fourth quarter. The Rebels had one touchdown called back on a holding penalty, while the Broncs had an incomplete pass in the end zone which brought their scoring drive to an end.

The game ended with the Rebels defeating Indian Head 59-0.

Rebel Zach Stevenson usually plays linebacker but stepped into the tight end position for the game because of an injury.

“I was really nervous.

I’ve never played tight end,”

Stevenson said after the game. “I dropped a few passes, but I had a good game.”

Stevenson summed up the game by saying it was “an awesome team effort” but singled out Frohaug and his four interceptions for special mention.

Frohaug was pleased with his play, which included four interceptions, one of which he ran back for a touchdown.

“It’s the most I’ve ever had in a game,” he smiled.

Frohaug played both ways during the game, but said the team has been doing lots of conditioning drills and he’s been keeping in shape.

“The coaches helped us prepare and they really focused on the plays,” Frohaug said. “I was nervous for the game, but I was fairly confident we could win.”

Frohaug also praised his teammates, saying that there is good chemistry on the team and that everyone tries their hardest.

“Having the special teams score totally changed the momentum of the game,” said Delisle coach Ken Byers. “The interceptions did the same thing and once we had the lead we forced Indian Head to pass, not just run as they were running out of time.”

Byers also complimented his opponents, saying that for a first year program they put a great effort into the game.

“We knew going into this game that they knew what we would be doing, but it was a question of whether or not they could stop us.”

Delisle will host the Foam Lake Panthers in a provincial semifinal on November 5 at 1 p.m.

Blades survive third period “frights” for two wins Apparently, no lead is really safe at this early juncture of the 2011-2012 W.H.L. season for the Saskatoon Blades!

The “Good News” is that the Blades managed to win twice last week as they watched advantagtes evaporate. The “Bad News” is the Bridge City Bunch is playing a dangerous game if they continue to operate in that manner!

The problem started on the U.S. Division road trip for Saskatoon when a pair of twogoal leads in the third period were lost in Portland in a 7-6 shootout setback. That was followed three nights later when Spokane rallied from 3-1 down late in the second period for a 5-3 triumph over the Bridge City Bunch.

Fast forward to last week and the Blades jumped out to 4-1 leads on Wednesday at Credit Union Centre against Regina and in Prince Albert Saturday against the Raiders. In both games, the opposition scored twice to create a one-goal game in the final five minutes of the third period… but Saskatoon was able to prevail both times. “(The) guys played great, for the most part, down below the top of their circles…which is where we want to play,” said assistant coach Dave Struch following the Prince Albert game when talking about how well the Blades played in the opening 40 minutes to build the 4-1 advantage. “When we get into penalty trouble like we did (Saturday) in the third period, our top players get too much ice time and get worn out. They’re still working hard, but when you exhaust yourself like that killing penalties, it doesn’t give you any kind of opportunity to create offence!”

Despite the desire to let op-

Saskatoon Auto Mall ponents get up off the mat and back into contention in games, the Bridge City Bunch took a 9-4-1 record into this week’s action…which continues Friday night in Moose Jaw and Saturday against Lethbridge at home on “Vintage Jersey” Night at Credit Union Centre. ***** BLADES PLAYER OF THE WEEK – Once again, it’s a back-to-back winner of this writer’s choice honour…Josh Nicholls had three goals and an assist in the two Bridge City Bunch wins. In between, the 19-year-old right winger was named to Team W.H.L. for the upcoming Subway Super Series against the Russian Selects.

Warman shut out The Warman senior boys soccer team was shut out of the medal round at the soccer 2A provincial tournament last weekend. The Wolverines lost their first game 8-0 to Notre Dame, but rallied in their second game with a 2-0 win over Regina O’Neill. The team’s hopes for a medal finish were dashed in their third and final game when they lost 5-2 to Regina Miller.

replace the old ones. Last year, we purchased a new pumper truck with a 2500 gallon tank capacity. It can pump 750 gallons a minute.”

In addition to its fire hall in Delisle that was built about 25 years ago, the department also has two satellite fire halls in the hamlet of Donovan, in the RM of Montrose, and the hamlet of Pippin, just north of Pike Lake.

The department works in partnership with two potash mining companies in the event of fire at the mines near Vanscoy and Delisle.

“We don’t go underground,” said Dreher. “But if there are surface fires, we deal with those. The mines have their own safety and emergency response crews to deal with underground fires.”

Dreher said the department’s training includes dealing with toxic substances. “We also have an anhydrous ammonia plant just outside Delisle, and we have to be able to handle those types of emergencies,” he said.

The Fire Commission is made up of three representatives of the RM of Vansocy, two representatives from the Town of Delisle, and one representative from the Village of Vanscoy.

“They’re the ones who manage the money,” said Dreher. “We have a budget of about $200,000 per year, and that goes to equipment, training and personnel.”

Dreher is one of the longest-serving veterans of the fire department. He joined 33 years ago, and has served as Fire Chief for the past 8 years.

The department has 54 members, including 19 First Responders,, although Dreher said 90 percent of the members are trained in medical emergencies so they can respond to accidents.

“We have two training sessions every month,” he explained. “We have two Level 2-trained firefighters in our department who conduct most of the training.”

While there are over fi ften members of the department, most of them work in Saskatoon, noted Dreher.

“There are probably only about 4 of us in town during the day,” he said. “So when we get a call, we respond, and the call goes out to the other members.” Most of the members have arrangements with their employers to allow them to leave their workplace in order to respond to emergencies, he noted.

TURNING POINT The growth in the last few years of the fire and rescue service in Delisle didn’t happen by accident, noted Dreher.

“About 35 years ago, we had a house fire here in town, and we lost two children,” he explained. “It was a terrible tragedy. In the aftermath of that incident, the Reeve of the RM of Vanscoy at the time decided the fire department wasn’t big enough and couldn’t do enough.”

As a result of consultations with area towns and RMs, a decision was made to consolidate the resources of the existing small volunteer fire departments.

“The RM of Vanscoy, the RM of Montrose, the Town of Delisle and the Village of Vanscoy all got together and decided to have a district fire department,” said Dreher.

“It has grown a lot. When I joined 33 years ago, there were two fire trucks and one ambulance, and that was it. The alarm rang and you

grabbed a canvas coat and a helmet and jumped on the back of the fire truck and away you went.”

Over the past eight years, since Dreher took over as Fire Chief, there has been a renewed commitment to strengthening the numbers and training of the members.

“Eight years ago, we had four members that had experience, so we held a district meeting and our membership zoomed up to about 30 members, and it’s grown steadily since then,” he said.

The department also works to help train the next generation.

“We have a junior firefighter program that we run in partnership with the high school here in town,” Dreher said. “We start kids as young as 16 years old, and they get the same training as everybody else gets. When they have 100 hours of trainig and I think they’re ready, we start taking them out on calls with us as ‘ride-alongs’ and they help us out. We

don’t put them in a dangerous situation, but they can handle a hose in a grassfire, for example.”

The program currently has 4 junior firefighters, and students who complete the training are given academic credits by the school.

But the real-world training goes well beyond grades.

“There’s a big change in the kids’ driving habits,” noted Dreher. “Especially if they go to a couple accidents.”

The training also serves as a stepping stone to future careers. One student who participated in the program went on to graduate from a professional firefighting course.

Dreher said many people don’t realize that volunteer firefighters receive the same training as professional firefighters.

“We have the same qualifications as firefighters in Saskatoon,” he noted. “In fact, we’re better trained when it comes to grass fires.”

CORMAN PARK VOTE pass the bylaw or resolution at the first meeting following the vote. If a majority of the persons voting at a referendum do not approve the proposed resolution or bylaw, the council is not required to pass the proposed resolution or bylaw, but the council may pass the proposed resolution or bylaw if it chooses to do so.”

Derenoski said the legislation is clear.

“My expectation is that the council will pass the resolution to reduce the numbmer of electoral divisions, and wait for the Minister’s decision,” said Derenoski.

“It’s up to the provinical Minister of Municipal Affairs to decide whether to move forward with 8 divisions, but how do you dispute the will of the people in the democratic process?”

RESULTS TO MINISTER Corman Park Reeve Mel Henry said the results of the referendum will be forwarded to the Minister of Municipal Affairs.

“The Municipal Act is very straightforward,” Henry said. “We’ll be going through the process of geting the results to the Minister and await his decision.”

Henry said he is “not disappointed” with the result of the referendum. “We gave it to the people to vote on, and they voted,” he said in an interview last week. “We’ve met the requirement under the Act.” Henry said he is unsure at this point whether one

or both referendum questions will be forwarded to the Minister. “We’ll be getting a legal opinion from the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) lawyer on that,” he said. “It will come to the November meeting of Corman Park council, and from there it will be forwarded to the Minister.”

THEFT OF SIGNS Derenoski said the Corman Park Citizens for Democracy ran “a respectful and clean campaign.” He said the high voter turnout for the referendum reflected the widespread interest in the issue among the ratepayers.

However, he noted, the campaign was marred in the final days by vandalism and theft of many of the group’s campaign signs.

“It’s unfortunate someone or a group of people felt the need to steal nearly 50 percent of our signs,” he said. “We’ve filed complaints with both the Saskatoon and Warman RCMP detachments, because the incidents occurred in five divisions.”

He said the thefts began in the Osler area, and then spread into Division 4, 3, 2 and 1.

“Oddly enough,” Derenoski continued, “in many areas where our signs were removed, the opposition signs showed up within 40 feet.

It’s disappointing that people don’t respect that everyone has a voice and a right to express their opinion.”

Delisle Chiefs looking to rebound from loss to Royals

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Delisle Chiefs are looking to get their power play back on track.

The Chiefs went 0 for 4 on the man advantage last Wednesday, October 26, dropping a 4-1 decision to the visiting Saskatoon Royals.

But it’s just one of the things that the team needs to work on, according to Chiefs head coach Dave Norris.

“We’re just not playing our system properly,” said Norris after the game, which saw the Chiefs surrender three goals in the first period. “We have to learn to play as a team. The good news is it’s still early in the season and it’s something we can fi x.

“Sometimes you have to go through a couple bad games in order to get where you want to be,” he added.

“It’s not lack of talent and it’s not even lack of effort.

It’s just a lack of players

playing as a team and doing what thye’re actually supposed to do. We can fi x that.”

The Chiefs started rookie netminder Jordan Locke, and the Royals took advantage, with goals from Hayden Cameron, Ryley Albert, Austin Severson.

Veteran goaltender Cam Irwin replaced Locke at the start of the second period, and turned away all but one of the thirty shots he faced in two periods of play. His only miscue came on Severson’s second goal of the night - a breakaway in the dying minutes of the second frame.

The one bright spot for the Chiefs came with five minutes left in the game when Paul Sonntag scored a short-handed marker to get the home team on the board.

Norris said fi xing his team’s sputtering power play is top priority going into this week’s contest against the Saskatoon Quakers.

“We had opportunities to climb back out of that hole,”

Norris said. “And if we could have gotten one or two on the power play early, I think that would have helped.”

Norris said the Royals are a tough team that know how to protect a lead.

“They really didn’t give us much of a chance to get back into it,” he noted.

“They can do a good job of frustrating you. I wouldn’t even say they took us off our game, because I don’t think we even got on our game in the first place.”

Norris said with a lot of rookies in the lineup, the players need to step up to the next level.

“You can’t win at this level just by trying at 50 percent,” he said. “The guys just need to learn to win, and we’ll turn it around.”

After a rocky start to the season, the Chiefs went on a 4-game wining streak in October before dropping their last two. They currently sit in the middle of the Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) north division stand-

ings with a record of 4 wins and 4 losses.

The Chiefs hosted the

Dalmeny Skating Club hosts early-season synchronized skating workshop

By JODY THOMPSON DSC Secretary/Carnival Coordinator

The Dalmeny Skating Club (DSC) hosted a Synchronized Skating Workshop on Saturday, October 15, at the DDCC (the Dalmeny arena).

The DSC had 18 skaters

from Dalmeny, Martensville and Langham participate in the Workshop. They ranged in ages from 8 to 15 years old.

We had Pam Knelson, who is a Skate Canada Coach that has the Synchronized Skating training, travel to Dalmeny and facilitate the workshop

on Saturday. And, Dalmeny’s Head Coach, Laura McLeod, was on-ice to assist with the workshop.

The DSC is hoping that this workshop will generate some interest in forming a Blackstrap Regional Synchronized Skating team. The DSC

is planning to incorporate some of synchronized skating into this years’ programming and that this too will add to the idea of having a regional team in 2012.

They started the workshop at 1:00 pm, had some teambuilding time, some off-ice

training and warm-up time, then got skates on and hit the ice at 3:00 pm. The skaters skated until 5:15, and finished by presenting a short routine to the parents in attendance.

They then had some fun social time and finished the day with some pizza from the Warman

Family Pizza.

If anyone is interested in more information or would like to express their interest in forming a Blackstrap Regional Synchronized Skating team, they can send us an email at dalmenyskatingclub@hotmail.ca

Hague senior girls volleyball squad on a roll The Hague High School Senior girls volleyball team had a very successful season so far this year.

They played in the finals in five of the eight tournaments that they were in, winning three of them.

This past weekend, they hosted the Panther Invitational where they met Aberdeen in the finals, beating them in a very intense three game series.

Coaches Debbi Fehr and Sarah Shepherd have seen a lot of improvement in this team over the season.

They feel confident that the team will do well in the 4A Conference finals which Clavet is hosting this coming weekend. There, they will meet Clavet, Dalmeny, Delisle, and Martensville to see which two teams advance to Regionals the following weekend.
