Thin ice dangerous: city official T

he bodies of water that dot many neighbourhoods in Warman and Martensville are frozen over, but the ice is still very thin and extremely dangerous.

Dave Bosch, Director of Recreation and Community Services in Martensville, says while the natural ice surfaces are ideal for skating and shinny later on during the winter, it’s still much too early for anyone to venture onto those areas now.

“The ice is definitely not thick enough at this point,” Bosch said in an interview last week. “We’ve just started getting freezing temperatures and the kids get excited about skating. But it’s got to get a lot colder and the ice has to get a lot thicker before it can support those kinds of

activities.”

Bosch said every year, the city posts signs warning of the danger of thin ice and tries to ensure residents avoid putting themselves at risk.

He said the minimum thickness for the ice has to be at least 12 inches before any of the municipal equipment is able to be used to remove snow and prepare the ice for skating. He said the city opens up several patches of ice for outdoor skating, including water bodies at Kinsmen Park.

“We clear away the snow on one of the ponds, as well as the canal, so people are able to skate under the bridge,” said Bosch. “The city may have some liability if there is a dangerous situation. That’s why we post signs warning of potential dangers. People also have to

Martensville seeks land annexation for new growth

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he City of Martensville is looking to expand its municipal boundaries to the northeast and to the south by annexing two parcels of land from the RM of Corman Park.

Two separate requests for land annexation were received by the City of Martensville from two individual landowners and the applications are being dealt with at the same time, according to Bonnie Gorelitza, Director of Planning for the City of Martensville.

“The applications came in at roughly the same time to our office,” Gorelitza explained. “They are not related and they are intended to be used for totally different purposes. One is for residential development while the other is to be commercial.”

The larger of the two requests consists of two adjacent parcels of land to the northeast of the city’s current boundaries. This land would be used for future residential and ancillary community services, said Gorelitza. The larger of the two parcels consists of 48.256 hectares while the smaller parcel is 8.096 hectares.

The parcel of land to the

south of Martensville is adjacent to the Geransky industrial site.

“The land in question consists of two parcels,” she said. “One is 16.114 hectares and the other is 8.041 hectares, minus 3.6 hectares which would remain in the RM of Corman Park and which would be the residence of the landowner. The landowner is looking to have a portion of the land – which would be used for commercial activity – annexed to the City of Martensville.”

Gorelitza said the intended uses of both parcels of land being looked at for annexation fit with the city’s Official Community Plan (OCP).

If the annexation proceeds, Martensville will have enough land to meet its anticipated growth for the next five years, said Gorelitza. She noted that provincial guidelines allow urban municipalities to acquire enough land to accommodate 20 years’ worth of anticipated growth.

The annexation proposals are being forwarded to the RM of Corman Park council, as well as to the provincial Minister of MunContinued on Page 5 Please see ANNEXATION

realize they need to take responsibility as well and not allow themselves or their children to be in danger. “ Bosch said the city will clear snow from the ice surface once there is sufficient thickness to support its equipment.

“We measure the thickness every week during the winter and we maintain the ice surface as long as it is safe,” he said. “It provides families with a great outdoor recreational opportunity, and it’s a beautiful place to be during winter days.”

Three councilors excluded from RM’s key committees

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

hree elected councilors for the RM of Corman Park will be on the outside looking in when it comes to matters discussed by the council’s Public Works Committee and Admininstration and Planning Committee next year.

Division 1 councilor Perry Ulrich, Division 3 councilor Lynne Samson, and Division 4 councilor John Germs were not included on either committee, based on a list of committee members drawn up by the Reeve and endorsed by a majority of Corman Park council at their regular meeting on Monday, November 28.

A list of council members to be included on committees, boards and commissions is ratified by the RM Council at the end of every calendar year, to take effect at the beginning of the following calendar year.

While the list of committees is long and varied (Council dealt with appointments to 32 committees in total), the Public Works Committee and the Adminstration and Planning Committee are widely viewed as the most important and the most influential.

The Reeve of the RM is an ex-officio member of all committees.

In 2011, the Public Works Committee consisted of Reeve Mel Henry and Councilors John Rempel, Irene Pilka, Bill Dyck, Wendy Trask, Joe Kasahoff and Len Kasahoff (Chair). The Administration and Planning Committee in 2011 consist-

ed of Reeve Mel Henry and Councillors Perry Ulrich, Craig Riddell, Lynne Samson, John Germs and Joanne Janzen (Chair). The two committees combined included all members of council.

At the RM Council meeting last Monday, a hand-written list of proposed members for several committees was distributed by the Reeve.

The list of proposed members for the Public Works Committee included: Councillors Len Kasahoff (Chair), Joe Kashaoff, Wendy Trask, Irene Pilka, Bill Dyck, John Rempel and Reeve Mel Henry.

The proposed members of the Administration and Planning Committee included on the list are: Councilors David Fox, Irene Pilka, Wendy Trask, Bill Dyck, Joanne Janzen and Reeve Mel Henry.

The proposed list of Police Commission members included Reeve Mel Henry, Councilors Wendy Trask, Irene Pilka and two citizensat-large. In 2011, Jim Christie and Collin Herschfeld served as citizens-at-large on the Police Commission. Councilor Lynne Samson was removed from the Police Commission earlier this fall by the Reeve and was replaced by Councilor Wendy Trask.

The proposed list for the Weed and Pest Control Committee included Councilors Irene Pilka, Joe Kasahoff, John Rempel and Reeve Mel Henry.

two colleagues were excluded from “the two most important” committees, noting that in the past, all members of council have participated in one or the other.

Reeve Mel Henry said he drew up the list based on events surrounding previous committee meetings.

“You guys have shown very little interest in participating with the rest of the council on anything,” Henry stated. “If you show some interest in participating and I don’t just mean lip service – I mean actual work – with the council, then we can look at readjusting this.”

Ulrich responded that his record of participation speaks for itself. “I’ve attended every council meeting and every committee meeting,” Ulrich noted.

“But you have always voted contrary,” Henry replied. “No matter what we bring up you haven’t tried to participate as part of the council.” He added that unlike the federal Parliament or provincial Legislature, there is no “Loyal Opposition” role in municipal government chambers.

Newly-elected Councilor David Fox said while he has only attended one Administration Committee meeting since assuming office, he characterized it as “business-like and professional.”

He added that in his opinion, “when council focuses on the business at hand, then it’s productive, but when it focuses on personal issues, it’s not productive.”

Fox said he is concerned that the ratepayers for three Divisions are not represented on the two major commit-

A new Finance Committee was established by the RM council earlier this year.

The role of chair of the Finance Committee was offered to Councilor Lynne Samson. She declined the position. Finance Committee members include: Reeve Mel Henry and Councillors David Fox, Irene Pilka, Joe Kasahoff and Joanne Janzen.

A majority of the RM council voted to confirm the Reeve’s proposed committee membership list.

PLANNER MOVES UP Shawn Dukart, a member of the Planning Department staff with the RM, has accepted a position with the provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs.

Another former staff member of the planning department, Eric McDougall, moved to Municipal Affairs last summer.

DUNDURN WATER UTILITY Councillor David Fox was appointed to represent the RM of Corman Park on the Dundurn Water Utility Board.

A resident of the Hamlet of Beaver Creek, Fox is also a current subscriber to the utility.

MUNICIPALITIES A motion to join the Federation of Canadian Municipalities was proposed by Councillor Irene Pilka and endorsed by the RM Council.

The cost of the annual membership fee is $1,831.

Reeve Mel Henry supported the motion, noting that lobby efforts by the federation have resulted in funding for municipalities.

Trevor Wehage of Saskatoon earned the title of New Holland Construction North American Skid Steer Champion. Wehage, who works for Don Wehage & Sons Trucking & Excavating Ltd. in Saskatoon, defeated more than 30 of the most talented compact equipment operators in the United States and Canada in a series of skill-testing challenges using a New Holland 200 Series skid steer loader.

The championship event took place during the 2011 GIE+EXPO show in early November in Louisville, Ky. The field consisted of more than 2,000 participants who competed in New Holland Construction Super Boom Road Show events across the United States and Canada this year. Wehage, who has operated equipment similar to skid steer loaders for 14 years, came in first place with a winning time of 00:21.10. Along with the crown, owner/operator Wehage earned the grand prize of a New Holland Construction 200 Series skid steer loader – valued at US$35,000 – plus a leather jacket and a commemorative scale model of a New Holland 200 Series skid steer loader.

Coming in at a close second place in the competition was Thomas Mellott, Mercersburg, Pa., with a time of 00:21.81. Mellott, who works for Ken-Mel Farm in Mercersburg, earned a US$2,500 cash prize, a leather jacket and a commemorative scale model of a New Holland 200 Series skid steer loader for himself, and a US$2,500 Parts and Service reward card for his company.

Martensville contracts bylaw enforcement on interim basis

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

he City of Martensville is plugging the gap in its municipal bylaw enforcement by contracting with a private company to provide services on an interim basis.

At a special meeting of Martensville City Council last Wednesday, November 23, councilors voted to contract with Municipal Bylaw Enforcement Services, a Dalmeny-based company, to provide services for the month of December.

As Dave Bosch, Martensville’s Director of Recreation and Community Services, explained in an interview last

week, the agreement with the company is a temporary measure.

“Our bylaw officer, who is an employee of the city, is on medical leave right now, and has been for some time,” explained Bosch. “As far as we’re aware, she won’t be back at least until after the New Year.”

Bosch said there is an ongoing need for enforcement of bylaws in the city, and council felt it was appropriate to ensure that service is provided.

“For the past several months, bylaw enforcement has been handled internally through my office,” said Bosch. “We’ve been able to handle it so far, but with the

arrival of winter, there is a need for snow removal on our streets, and bylaw enforcement is going to be a bigger issue.”

A discussion by councilors at an earlier meeting weighed the costs and benefits of contracting out the bylaw enforcement service on a temporary basis, and a consensus was reached to work out an arrangement on a month-bymonth basis with the company.

“We’re taking this oppor-

tunity to contract with the company on a monthly basis,” explained Bosch. “The details of the agreement have yet to be worked out, but we’re hoping to have the company begin in early December. At the end of the month, we’ll evaluate the service, and the overall situation, and take it from there.”

Bosch noted that the company is currently supplying the service to other communities, including the Town of Langham.

Wall wise to keep closing tax gap while avoiding Alberta mistakes

By Colin Craig, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Put yourself in Premier Brad Wall’s shoes for a moment.

You’ve just won one of the largest majorities in Saskatchewan history, the provincial government is rolling in resource revenues and more and more people are investing in and moving back to Saskatchewan every day.

So now what should you do to make things even better?

First, it would be wise to pause for a moment and reflect on why Saskatchewan is doing so well.

The “Saskaboom” can be largely traced back to two significant factors – lower rates charged by the government on companies that pull resources from the ground and lower taxes.

Think about it. Potash, oil and other resources have always been in the ground, so why have they suddenly become huge industries in Saskatchewan? There are a few reasons why, but the most significant is that the former NDP government reduced rates that they charged businesses for extracting and selling resources like oil and potash.

As a result, private businesses have invested hundreds of millions in Saskatchewan, hired thousands of workers and paid billions to the government in additional taxes and fees.

Tax reductions by the provincial government went hand in hand with the new royalty structure. By reducing taxes, the province was able to lure investors and workers, as well as keeping existing ones in the province. For example, over the past decade, the business tax rate has dropped from 17 per cent to 12 and the small business tax rate is now just 2 per cent.

Both moves helped Saskatchewan close the gap with provinces that were charging lower tax rates or dropping their rates at the same time. Thus, it also helped Saskatchewan businesses improve their competitiveness.

On an individual level, taxpayers have saved thousands through lower personal income taxes, school taxes and through a lower sales tax. That has not only made Saskatchewan a more attractive place to live, it has given Saskatchewan entrepreneurs a solid crop of good workers who are no longer fleeing the province.

That brings us to the second point number for the premier to consider – there’s more work to do. Yes, Saskatchewan’s school taxes, business taxes, sales tax and personal income taxes are lower than they were five years ago, but they’re still higher than Alberta’s rates.

Closing the tax gap will help ensure Saskatchewan businesses compete, attract more businesses and keep people in the province.

One way for the government to do that is to continue to focus on debt repayment. After all, once the provincial government’s general revenue fund debt is paid off, it will free up over $400 million in annual interest charges. It’s very similar to paying off your credit card and no longer having monthly charges.

Just imagine if the province was able to put $400 million back in taxpayers’ pockets on an annual basis.

That brings us to the final major consideration – spending.

Next door in Alberta, they were able to pay off their debt and drop taxes to some of the lowest rates in Canada, but they also increased spending. And boy did they ever. Over the past decade spending in Alberta has skyrocketed. So much so that when the revenue slowed down, the government couldn’t close the spending taps; they’ve rung up almost $7.5 billion in deficits over the last three years alone.

Learn from the past, continue to close the tax gap and be mindful of Alberta’s mistakes. If Mr. Wall can do that, the road ahead will be smooth for Sask taxpayers.

Stronger NDP may still be useful One can understand why rural folks might not care too much about the rebuilding of the Saskatchewan NDP. After all, the NDP and the rural Saskatchewan actually began parting ways decades ago. While the NDP was resisting change and virtually demanding that rural Saskatchewan stick to the philosophies of the Wheat Pool and the co-operative movement, rural Saskatchewan was clearly headed in a far more entrepreneurial, marketing direction.

(It is an interesting coincidence that the annihilation of the NDP in rural Saskatchewan came mere weeks before the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce presented the Weyburn Inland Terminal with a lifetime achievement award for entrepreneurship. The farmer-owned terminal – the first of its kind in the province – set up shop in Tommy Douglas’s Weyburn three decades ago in the face of massive opposition from the then Allan Blakeney government and New Democrats that predicted such large terminals would be the ruination of rural Saskatchewan life.)

And while the Saskatchewan Party in the 2011 campaign unfairly blamed the 1990s budget cuts to rural Saskatchewan on an NDP government without taking into account the fiscal disaster left behind by the previous Progressive Conservative administration, there is also little doubt that Roy RomanowLorne Calvert governments took rural Saskatchewan for granted.

One might forgive the bad highways and closure of 52 rural hospitals as the reality of the fiscal challenges the NDP was left to deal with. But why did an NDP government hold an election in the middle of harvest? Why did it repeatedly refuse to address the education tax on agricultural land even when it had the economic capacity to fix the problems?

Rural Saskatchewan people often felt like second-class citizens under NDP governments – a feeling best reflected in the fact that threequarters of them voted Saskatchewan Party in the most recent election.

But are public interests going to be served in this new legislature with a nine-seat Opposition – none of whom are from rural Saskatche-

MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics

wan? This may be why the rebuilding of the NDP is an issue for us all.

Of course, some will argue that a strong Opposition is something we need to worry less about in the so-called New Saskatchewan. They will point to Alberta to the west and note that province has done rather well without much of any opposition in the past 40 years.

Well, also consider the rise of the Wild Rose Party is directly attributable to Alberta residents’ dissatisfaction with the ruling Progressive Conservatives. And let us not forget the volatility of our resource wealth or the fact that Albert is a different province – one with a comparatively small rural area to service that’s made it much easy for Alberta governments to meet the needs of its rural residents.

Even if past NDP governments

have sometimes failed rural Saskatchewan, it is the job of and the interest of any opposition to point out where a government is not delivering. A strong opposition in the legislature is more capable of doing that.

Admittedly, nothing says that strong opposition has to be New Democrat. But given that the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives fell to historic lows this election and that the Greens didn’t come close to electing anyone, the simply practical reality is the best hope to keep the Sask. Party government in check, at least for now, is the NDP. And for whatever legitimate complaints or philosophical differences rural people and others have with the current NDP, it is likely important to remember that this is party with a deep tradition that’s served the people’s interest in both opposition and government where it has delivered things like rural electrification and medicare.

Yes, the recent vote suggests a lot of people might not have much interest in the NDP and its plans to rebuild.

But we all should be interested in seeing a strong opposition.

Reader Opinions Reeve’s actions unacceptable As a ratepayer in the RM of Corman Park I am more than a little upset with the flagrant misuse of my tax dollars by Reeve Henry and his supporters. The actions of this group and the negative publicity they have brought to our RM are unacceptable and need to be stopped.

Most people who hold a public office would realize that when the voters have to take the governance of their RM into their own hands, there is probably something about the way they are conducting themselves that is no longer being tol-

erated by the voters. Not the case with most of the group that sits at our Council table. The voters had to unite behind a referendum to get the right thing done. What did these public officers do? They incurred, and continue to incur, unnecessary legal costs in an attempt to block the referendum initiative.

They pass unnecessary motions to attach letters to the successful referendum to say they do not agree with the voters. Do we the ratepayers have to continue to pay for this type of representation?

He is telling us that the processes of producing and controlling information in the RM are in good shape.

I don’t believe the Reeve is an accredited accountant or specialist who can provide this type of assurance.

Probably the most incredible action taken by the Reeve and his group is they have passed a motion that empowers the Acting Administrator to refuse to provide answers to any of the Councillor’s questions that she is “uncomfortable with”. I wonder how he and his group expects these Councillors to do their job. I wonder if the Reeve and his Councillors even know what their job is.

It is very clear to me and many other ratepayers that I know this group is not working to advance the interests of the majority of the ratepayers in the RM. Rather they are engaged in making our RM the laughing stock of the community, the province and probably the country.

Good work Reeve Henry. And I hope we can soon say “good riddance”.

T-Birds roll over Wildcats

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

he Warman Wildcats had plenty of chances, but weren’t able to find a way to beat Bruno T-Birds netminder Jamie Langen.

The visiting T-Birds handed the Wildcats a 6-2 loss at home last Saturday, in a game that should have been a lot closer if the Wildcats had been able to capitalize on their opportunities.

“They have a hot goalie, for sure,” conceded Wildcats’ coach Stuart Regush after the game. “Overall, I thought our guys played a good game through two and a half periods, but we kind of shut things down in the last ten minutes of the third period, took a couple of bad penalities, and they took advantage of that.”

Down 2-0 early in the third period, the Wildcats’ Cory Perkin finally punctured Langen’s armour, poking the puck

through a crowd in front of the Bruno net to get Warman on the scoreboard and within striking distance.

But Bruno rallied for four more goals while the Wildcats only managed to add one more – a deflection by Dean Baptist off a point shot by defenseman Kyle Dolan late in the game.

Bruno goal-scorers were Brett Novak and Blake Hubereach with a pair, Brett Parker and Nevin Schick.

Warman goaltender Deny Baron did his best to keep his team in the game, making some spectacular saves, especially in the first two periods.

Regush, one of the Wildcats’ leading scorers last season, took over coaching duties after breaking his leg in a recent work-related accident. He said the Wildcats need to work on the basics at both ends of the ice.

“We have to do a better job of setting things up in the

offensive zone when we’re on the power play – and we have to start winning the battles along the boards and going to the net more,” he said. “The main thing is to get the puck deep. There were probably two or three power plays where we dumped the puck in but nobody followed it up and so they were able to break out.”

Regush said the team also needs to focus more on defensive play, and has to be more disciplined. “We have to stay out of the box,” he noted. “We had some penalties that really cost us.”

The loss leaves the Wildcats in 7th spot in the FCHL standings with 1 win and 4 losses, while the 4-1 T-Birds are in 4th place. The Wildcats’ next game is Friday, December 2 when they travel to Beardy’s to take on the Blackhawks. Their next home game is Saturday, December 3 when they host the Prairie Outlaws.

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.

What are neuromuscular control exercises for the spine?

Exercise programs that are designed for musculoskeletal injury prevention should have exercises that involve neuromuscular control components. These programs involve joint stability exercises, balance training, proprioceptive training, plyometric exercises and skill-specific training. All of these types of training provide a multiple stimuli to improve the body’s neuromuscular control mechnanisms.

Is poor posture associated with increased falls in older adults?

Yes. A study found that the best predictor of futre fall risk in people aged 62 - 96 was deficiency in lateral posture stability. Lateral stability exercises can help older adults prevent falls.

Improving Your Posture Do you want to enchance your posture? A certified Personal Trainer can help. Qulified personal trainers assess their clients’ postural patterns and target abnormal patterns such as lordosis (abnormal inward or forward curvature of the vertebral column) and kyphosis (abnormal curvature of the spine, causing a humchback). A postural assessment provides an objective means of identifying postural concerns and establishing a direction for appropirate exercise program design.

Off-ice news outshines on-ice performance It’s hard to know for certain if the near-by presence of Major Junior hockey’s “Holy Grail” had anything to do with it, but the Saskatoon Blades couldn’t provide the effort and results that come with hoisting the Memorial Cup. Call it a learning experience!

The Bridge City Bunch fell 6-2 Friday to the Calgary Hitmen and 4-1 Saturday to the Vancouver Giants as a total of 9,985 fans took in the two games at Credit Union Centre.

While most of those paying customers were disappointed with the on-ice outcome, they had to be pleased with the office news!

During the first intermission of Friday’s tussle, the Blades released the ticket packaging prices and onsale dates for the 2013 Mastercard Memorial Cup, which Saskatoon will host May 1726.

Blades season ticket holders who renew their seats for 2012-13 before August 31, 2012 will have the first chance to reserve their same seats for the Memorial Cup. Those same season ticket holders will also be offered a chance to buy additional Memorial Cup ticket packages, up to the number of season seats they hold, once all Blades season seats and Blades sponsor seats have been spoken for…so

long as 2,000 packages remain for public sale. Since 2012-2013 season tickets are not on sale to the general public until the spring of 2012, it stands to reason that buying season tickets, on a pro-rated price basis for the remainder of this season, will allow fans a chance to get as many Memorial Cup ticket packages as they hope to get!

Six different price points for Memorial Cup ticket packages have been set…ranging from club seats at $595.00 apiece to $95.00 per package in

the upper reaches of C.U.C. “We feel that these prices will give everyone an opportunity to come out and attend this world class event,” said 2013 MasterCard Memorial Cup Host Committee CoChair and Blades’ president Jack Brodsky. “That spread in prices from $95 to $595 will allow anybody in the city and the surrounding area to come out to these games.”

Contact the Blades office at 975-8844 or visit the team’s website at www.saskatoon-

blades.com for more information on ticket package pricing and/or release dates. ***** UPCOMING – Blades’ players aren’t likely to listen to Willie Nelson music on their “I-Pods” or “Smart Phones”, but his “On the Road Again” tune would be appropriate this weekend.

The Bridge City Bunch play three games-in-three nights in Alberta, starting Friday in Medicine Hat. A short hop down the “Crowsnest Pass” highway to Lethbridge follows Saturday before winding up Sunday at Rexall Place in Edmonton. The first puck drop on Friday is 8:30 p.m. against the Tigers, 8 p.m. Saturday against the Hurricanes and 7 o’clock Sunday versus the Oil Kings. Tune in a half-hour before those game times for the radio broadcast on CKBL-FM (92-9, THE BULL). ***** BLADES PLAYER OF THE WEEK – It wasn’t much of a week for the Blades with a 1-2 record on home ice, but Jake Trask was the first star in the lone Bridge City Bunch victory. The 20-year-old scored a goal in regulation time and opened the shootout with, what turned out to be, the winning goal as Saskatoon out-lasted Medicine Hat 4-3 last Tuesday.

The Saskatoon product has eight goals and 18 points in 19 games.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2011 the story. It drew me in. It put me in that place - in that rink - where I felt like I was watching the action and learning about the players as real flesh-and-blood people. The way the articles were written and the stories that were told, I felt like I got to know the players - my Dad in particular.

Dorothy said her only regret is that she didn t undertake the project twenty years ago.

I could have talked to Dad directly about those experiences, she said. It would have given me more insight into the man.

ALL-STAR PLAYER An all-star forward who laced up for every one of the NHLs Original Six teams during a twelve-year playing career from 1942-1954, Lynn was the epitome of oldtime hockey.

Best known for his years with the Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs in the late 1940s, Lynn was an exceptional skater and deft playmaker who collected his share of both goals and penalty minutes. He played 327 regular season games in the NHL, scored 49 goals, had 76 assists, and collected 274 p penalty goals y minutes. He also had 7 g

Vic Lynn won three Stanley Cups with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He played for every one of the “Original Six” teams during the NHL’s golden era, and was named an All-Star three years in a row.

He later moved to Warman, where he became a valued community leader, generously helped build an arena, and left an impressive hockey legacy that still lives on today. y

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

V

ic Lynn was a hockey legend.

An NHL great during the era of the Original Six, he was typical of his generation. He made it on raw talent and determination, cultivated on open-air rinks through long, cold Saskatchewan winters.

A lot of small prairie towns honour hockey legends like him with a sign by the highway.

The signs proudly boast that this was the town the hockey legend left behind on his way to becoming famous.

But Vic Lynn s connection to the Town of Warman is different.

Warman was the town Vic Lynn moved to in 1964 after he had already become famous and cemented his reputation. He and his wife, Roberta, settled there with their young family after buying the Warman Hotel. They quickly became involved in the community and Vic set about helping to build a tradition of hockey.

Vic was one of the founders of the Warman Wildcats senior hockey team - a team he coached for many years. He was one of the key people who helped build the Warman Diamond Arena.

He inspired a generation of hockey players, not by playing up his days in the NHL, but by quietly leading the way and working alongside his neighbours in the community to nurture grassroots hockey.

Sure, he d gladly tell you about those glory days on the Stanley Cup-winning Leafs if you asked, but he wasn t one to bring up the subject on his own.

Vic and Roberta fi xed up the hotel and ran it for ten years - until 1974. But even after they sold the hotel, they continued to make Warman their home until Roberta Lynn passed away from cancer in 1986. Vic remarried a year later and moved to Saskatoon, but the town of Warman still considered him one of their own.

His five children all went to school in Warman and considered the community as home.

ANNIVERSARY OF VIC LYNN’S PASSING Vic Lynn slipped away quietly in a Saskatoon hospital a year ago this week ‒ on December 6, to be exact. A member of the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame and the Saskatoon Sport Hall of Fame, Lynn s passing was noted in every major newspaper across the country.

Ironically, he is listed among the notable players of the NHL at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto even though he was never inducted.

While his connection to Warman is huge, it s not a well-known fact outside of a few longtime residents.

That lost heritage could change, thanks to a new book by his daughter, Dorothy Lynn (Lamontagne), of Shellbrook.

HE PLAYED FOR ‘EM ALL Entitled He Played for Em All , the book is a collection of newspaper clippings, photos and other memorabilia that documents Lynn s hockey career as well as his community and family life.

For D Dorothy Lynn, the F h L h youngest off the h Lynn s five children, compiling the book was a labour of love. The material in the collection was started by her mother back when Vic was just starting out in the big league.

Mother started the book, in a sense, explained Dorothy in a recent interview. She clipped newspaper articles and saved them.

Over the years I think her intention was to make a scrapbook out of everything, but she never finished it.

Dorothy s mother passed away from cancer in 1986, and the box of memorabilia just stayed untouched on the shelf.

But a year before her father passed away last year, Dorothy decided to re-copy - which meant re-typing - literally thousands and thousands of words from all the articles into book form. The original images of the articles and photos were also burned onto DVDs.

that acquainted h she h hadn h d t been b i d with i h while hil she h was growing up in the little town of Warman.

I got to know my Dad better through this, she explained. I started the project just because I thought somebody has to do it. But honestly, after the third or fourth newspaper clipping I had typed out, I was addicted to it. I felt like I was sitting in the corner of a hockey rink watching the Toronto Maple Leafs play a game.

It was a heart-filling experience. Words can t explain it. I felt like I was right there with my Dad, experiencing what was happening.

Now in her fifties, Dorothy Lynn says the fast-paced writing in the original newspaper articles gave her a much different perspective on the golden age of hockey.

I felt like I got to know my Dad better as a young person, as a young athlete who was in the middle of a truly amazing atmosphere, she said. I got a new appreciation for news-

Dorothy Lynn (pictured) compiled a book about her father s hockey career, using contemporary press clippings from the 1940s through to the 1960s. Lynn lives in Shellbrook, but grew up in Warman with her two brothers and two sisters. Vic Lynn played for all NHL Original Six teams including Toronto and Boston.

I decided to recopy all the newspaper clippings and let the articles tell the story, explained Dorothy. I wanted to finish the project that Mom started, but I also wanted to have it bound in book form, as opposed to simply clipping articles and pasting them the old-fashioned way into a single scrapbook. That s really how the book came about. I didn t realize it would be such a big project when I started.

But as she painstakingly re-typed the articles from old newspapers, Dorothy discovered something remarkable. She was getting to know a whole different side of her father - one

paper journalism. At the time most of these were written, there was no television coverage of the hockey games. People read accounts of the games in the papers. They were written in great detail, and every article told the story of the game.

She said over the course of re-typing the articles in chronological order, she found herself wanting to get to the next article and find out what happened in the following game.

I could see how readers would follow the team through the accounts in the paper, she said. Every article was like a continuation of

and d 10 assists i in i 47 NHL playoff l ff games.

Born on January 26, 1925, Lynn started playing hockey at the age of 6 on open air rinks in Saskatoon. He played pee wee hockey in the six-team Kinsmen Playground League on outdoor rinks. The teams in that league were named after the NHL teams. Vic Lynn played for the Canadiens , and even though he dreamed of playing pro, even at that young age, he never realized that twenty years later he d be donning a real Montreal jersey in the Forum s dressing room alongside Rocket Richard.

Vic Lynn s first season in the NHL was with the New York Rangers in 1942 when he was just 16-years-old. It was a short season.

He played only one game in the big league before being sent down to the New York Rovers of the Eastern Hockey League. But overcome with homesickness in the big city, the lonesome kid couldn t wait to pack his bags and catch the train back home to Saskatchewan at the end of that season.

Dad always told the story about being the little prairie boy getting off the train for the first time in New York City and seeing nothing but skyscrapers, and how scared he suddenly became, Dorothy recalled in the eulogy she wrote for her father s funeral a year ago.

The following season, Vic Lynn once again tried out for a big league team. In 1943-44, he played three games with the Detroit Red Wings, and the remainder of the season with the Indianapolis Capitols of the American Hockey League. The following season saw him once again in the AHL, this time with the St. Louis Flyers.

In 1945-46, he was called up to the Montreal Canadiens, but he only played two games and spent the remainder of the season with the Buffalo Bisons of the AHL. Dad requested to be sent back to the minors from Montreal because he couldn t understand French and had no idea what was being said, explained Dorothy. Dad was seen as a rebel in the NHL because requesting a trade to the minors was unheard of.

In an interview a few years ago with hockey journalist Joe Pelletier, Vic Lynn himself recalled that paying his dues in the minor leagues helped him mature while honing his hockey skills. I spent five years in the minors before I got my first real chance, Vic Lynn said. But I got to see the world.

The next four seasons were Vic s best.

From 1946-47 to 1949-50, he played for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He won three Stanley Cups in a row with the team in 194647, 1947-48 and 1948-49. He was named an NHL all-star in each of those three years, and he made a name for himself playing on the KLM Line with Teeder Kennedy and Howie Meeker.

Those were good years personally for Vic as well. In 1947, he married Roberta Hazel Webb of Saskatoon, and they started a family with the arrival of their first-born son, Denis, in 1949.

In 1950-51, Vic Lynn played with the

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2011 NHLs Boston Bruins and the Pittsburgh Hornets of the AHL. The couple s second son, Robert, was born in Boston.

As Dorothy explained: Dad was playing an away game when Mom was in the hospital with Rob. When Dad phoned to see how Mom was doing, he needed to go through the operator. When he asked the oeprator to connect him to Mrs. Lynn, in Lynn Hospital, at Lynn, Massachusetts, the operator thought he was drunk and hung up on him.

From 1951-1954, he had stints with the Providence Reds, Cleveland Barons and Chicago Blackhawks. But by the end of the 195354 season his NHL career was over, and he was playing minor professional hockey with the Saskatoon Quakers of the Western Hockey League.

Diane said one of the family s prized possessions is her father s Stanley Cup ring.

He only ever had one ring, she said.

Even though he won three consecutive Stanley Cups, all they did was take the diamond out of the centre of the ring and replace it with a bigger one the following season.

COMMUNITY BUILDER Three daughters were born to the Lynn family after Vic Lynn s NHL career was over: Donna in 1954, Diane in 1956 and Dorothy in 1958. During those years, up until 1964, Vic Lynn played and coached with the Saskatoon Quakers, Brandon Regals, St. Paul Saints, Sudbury Wolves and Prince Albert Mintos.

By 1964, though, the grind of trying to support a family on the thin living hockey provided was wearing on him, and he decided to try something different.

A couple years earlier, in 1962, the community of Warman had regained village status after 37 years as an unorganized hamlet, and was starting to grow again. It was destined to become a town in 1965, and it looked like a place where a business could prosper Vic Lynn coached the Warman Wildcats senior hockey team in the 1960s.

Fury edge Tisdale in shootout

T

he Dalmeny Fury outlasted the Tisdale Ramblers in an old-fashioned shootout in Dalmeny last Friday. When the smoke finally cleared, the shots were even at 39 apiece, with the home team coming out on the right end of an 8-6 score.

The Fury got off to a quick start in the opening period, registering three quick goals and outshooting the Ramblers 17 to 8. But the visitors finally woke up in the second frame and clawed their way back.

Dalmeny never surrendered the lead, but they saw it whittled away to a pretty slim thread a few times when they allowed the Ramblers some chances to catch up.

“It was probably the worst defensive game I’ve seen us play in a long time,” admitted a relieved Fury manager Stew Block. “Our defense tried to force plays in our own end and our wingers weren’t playing their positions like they should have. We got up by three goals right off the

bat, but we kept letting them back into the game, and that was frustrating to watch.

“Still, a win is a win, and we’ll take it,” he added.

Both teams racked up their share of goals in the second period, scoring four markers each. Dalmeny carried a 7-5 lead heading into the second intermission. Both teams settled down defensively in the final frame, allowing only one goal apiece.

Block said the most positive aspect of his team’s play was the penalty kill. “We had one four-minute penalty and there were a couple of occasions where we were two men short and didn’t allow them any goals,” he said. “We even scored two short-handed goals, so that was good to see. Our power play still needs some work, though.”

The victory stretched the Fury’s winning streak to 3 in a row. After dropping their first two games by substantial margins to the Shellbrook Elks and Prairie Outlaws, the Fury has won close contests against Hague, Warman and Tisdale.

Block said the games

they’ve won have boosted the team’s confidence.

“We just have to find a way to win against the top teams in the league,” he noted. “We match up pretty well against most teams in the league, but I think we took Tisdale a little too lightly tonight.”

Cory Harder registered a hat trick and also contributed one assist for the Fury in the victory, while Justin Edin also had a 4-point night with 2 goals and 2 assists. Ryin Allison, Brett Jullion and Regan Gaida added singles. Kyle Yarskie turned away 33 of 39 shots between the pipes for Dalmeny.

Tisdale goal scorers included Matt Hill with a pair, Ryan Jackson, Jordan Spagrud, Kyle Cowen and Robbie Holoein, while Brent McEwen made 31 saves in a losing cause.

The Fury went up against the Hague Royals in Hague on Tuesday, November 29 after the Gazette press deadline.

The Fury’s next game is Friday, December 2 when they host the Bruno T-Birds. Game time is 8:30 p.m.

T

he Hepburn Hawks boys’ volleyball team competed at the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) 2A Boys’ Provincial Volleyball tournament held November 25-26 in Muenster.

The Hawks showed a lot of talent during the tournament, but their youth and a few nervous errors kept them out of the playoffs.

The Hawks played Leader in their first game in Pool B round robin action on November 25. This was a closely fought match, with Leader winning 25-23 and 25-12.

Hepburn’s second game was against Arcola and they suffered another close loss.

Arcola took the match two games straight with scores of 25-19 and 25-15.

Hepburn’s third and last match on Friday was against Paradise Hill. This match went to three games as the Hawks refused to give up. Paradise Hill won the match two games to one with scores of 2125, 25-20 and 25-23.

The Hawks faced the host Muenster Cougars in a game that would determine who ad-

vanced to the playoff round on November 26. Both teams went into the match with 0-3 records and only the winner would survive.

Muenster won the first game 25-15, but Hepburn wouldn’t quit and won the second game 20-25. The third game started out close, but the Cougars pulled into the lead and won 25-12. The loss ended Hepburn’s season, but coach Ron Sigstad wasn’t too disappointed in the results.

“We didn’t expect to be here at the start of the season, so the boys were just excited to be here,” Sigstad said.

“They played their hearts out and I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

The Hawks only have two Grade 12 players and six Grade 10 players, so their youth was definitely a factor in their play this year.

“We are a young team and at any time I have three or four Grade 10s on the court,” Sigstad explained. “But they played with a positive attitude and the Grade 12s showed great leadership this weekend.”

The team struggled when they went to their first tournament of the season in Regina, but by the end of the season the boys could definitely play with anyone, Sigstad noted.

“We maybe didn’t make the playoffs, but all the play-

ers stepped up and played their hardest,” Sigstad said of the provincial tournament.

“We had six guys on the court that always had to be there to compete all through the year.”

The Hepburn team included Colin Hemm (1), Carter Reddekopp (4), Sam Penner (5), Trevor Derak (6), Jesse

Bushman (7), Braden Goertzen (8), Aiden Hodges (10), Ben Jackson (11), Dakota Gagne (12), Jayden Bowley (13), Josh Hiebert (14), coaches Ron Sigstad and Ben Goertzen, and manager Jaret Jackson.

In the playoffs, Waldheim won the gold medal, Cabri the silver, and Paradise Hill took home the bronze.

Provincial volleyball wraps up The Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) provincial boys’ volleyball championships wrapped up on the weekend with a number of tournaments around the province.

The 1A tournament was held in Broadview and Whitewood.

Borden finished Pool A round robin action with a 3-1 record and advanced to the playoff round. In their first playoff game, Borden defeated Medstead 2-0 and then defeated Mossbank 2-0 in their second game.

In the gold medal final, Borden lost two games to one to Bellevue St. Isidore with scores of 21-25, 25-20 and 23-25.

Bellevue St. Isidore claimed the gold medal, Borden took home the silver, and Mossbank won the bronze medal.

In 2A action at Muenster, Waldheim won the gold medal, Cabri claimed the silver, and Paradise Hill took home the bronze.

The 3A tournament was held at Carnduff. Kelvington won the gold medal, while Saskatoon Christian took home the silver, and Rosthern Junior College won the bronze medal.

Never giving up Colby Nargang draws musical inspiration from his grandmother’s life and death

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

C

olby Nargang was born with a rare genetic abnormality.

But rather than allow his medical condition to slow him down, he’s actually used it to his advantage by launching a successful recording career in the highly-competitive music world.

“I was born with a condition known as William’s Syndrome,” explained Nargang, a 24-year old singer and musician from Regina.

“It’s caused by an abnormality in chromosomes. In effect, I’m missing some genetic markers.”

And while the condition usually results in hand-eye coordination problems and learning disabilities for

those affected, it also has some other, less distressing symptoms.

“It affects everyone a little differently,” Nargang explained in a recent phone interview. “In some people it’s very severe, and they have trouble even tying their own shoes.”

But in his case, he said, his “abilities outweigh his disabilities.”

“One symptom that comes up in many people is the ability to mimic and reproduce sounds, particularly music, very well,” he noted. “In my case, I’ve always loved music, and when I was very young I developed a love for the music of Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley and bands like Aerosmith.”

able singing voice, a winning personality and a strong stage presence, Nargang combines those talents into a show that pays tribute to Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison. His versions of the hits made famous by those two stars are almost identical to the originals.

He first stepped onto the large stage in 2003, when he made an appearance on Kinsmen Telemiracle.

“Telemiracle actually got my career going,” he said. “It’s a huge audience.”

It was also the venue where he met Canadian country music star Beverly Mahood, who encouraged him to make a career of his music.

“She was a great inspiration,” Nargang said. “She’s got so much talent and is so down-to-earth. She also told me of her own experiences about persevering in spite of what people might say.”

He’s also beginning to make a mark as a songwriter as well as a performer, penning a number of songs, including “Free from the pain” a single from his new album, “If I can dream” currently on sale through his website (www.colbynargang.com ).

The 10-track album also features several songs made famous by Orbison and Presley, including Heartbreak Medley, Let Me Be There, How Great Thou Art, Heart Of Rome, Only The Lonely, You’re My Baby, Crying, California Blue, and Pretty Woman.

OVERCOMING DISABILITY Seeing him perform live, it’s hard to believe he’s had to overcome a lot of hurdles to achieve the kind of popularity he currently enjoys among audiences across Saskatchewan and Canada.

But it has been a struggle in many ways for the young performer. And he credits his grandparents with helping him get through the tough moments.

Nargang said he empathizes with people who have disabilities of all sorts, and says it’s important to look

Colby Nargang of Regina combines professional musical tributes to Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison with down-to-earth inspirational talks on overcoming emotional and physical disabilities. Nargang, a recording artist who sounds remarkably like his rock idols, was born with a rare genetic abnormality known as William s Syndrome. He is performing a concert in Dalmeny on February 11, 2012.

“It takes all kinds of people to make a world,” he said. “It doesn’t matter about your race, your religion or your skin colour. We’re all in this world together.”

Nargang says among his most rewarding performanes are those for people who have William’s Syndrome and their families.

“In some ways I’ve beaten the odds,” he stated. “The doctors told my parents that I would not be able to do a lot of things, like read and write, or ride a bike, for example. But I can do all those things, and I want to help motivate other people to overcome disabilities as well.”

“But she died before I could finish it,” he added.

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN You are blessed in many ways this week, Capricorn. Show your gratitude with a little get-together for one and all.

An addition changes everything.

AQUARIUS Cheer up, Aquarius. Things could be worse, as you re about to learn with a friend. Life has not been kind to them, but you can be, and it will make you forget about your own problems.

PISCES A financial investment proves worthwhile, and the dollars start pouring in. Be careful what you do with it, Pisces. A rainy day could be on the horizon.

ARIES Wonders never cease, as friends you haven t seen in some time drop by for a visit. Welcome them with open arms, Aries, and make plans to do something fun.

TAURUS This week is all about family, Taurus. Find some time to spend with each and every one, and make sure they know how much they mean to you.

GEMINI Change is inevitable, Gemini, so roll with the punches and don t look back. Home improvement plans take shape. Make sure you do your homework.

CANCER Heartache eases for a friend. Invite them out for a night on the town, Cancer. A tasty family feast fills tummies and puts everyone in good spirits.

LEO Thanks comes in many forms this week from cards and gifts to gestures of kindness. A career opportunity arises.

Jump on it, Leo. It may not come again.

VIRGO Friends may say you are going off the deep end, but
