Sask. posts boost in full-time jobs Full-time employment in Saskatchewan increased by 7,800 jobs compared to November 2010, says Statistics Canada.

Total full-time employment at 435,600 is the highest on record for the month of November as a result of part-time jobs changing to full-time employment opportunities.

Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate increased to 5.1 per cent in the month of November from 4.1 per cent in October. The unemployment rate is second in the country behind Alberta at 5.0 per cent and well below the national average of 7.4 per cent. Regina’s unemployment rate was 3.5 per cent, the lowest in the country and Saskatoon’s (5.5 per cent) was sixth lowest.

Guenther named 2011 Warman Citizen of the Year

S

ince 1981 Frank Guenther has not only been at the helm of a public works department that’s dealt with incredible population growth over the past seven years but he has also made a difference in the lives of many less fortunate thousands of kilometres from home. Despite it all, the soft-spoken father of four still manages to keep the home fires burning, the roads clear and, in recent times, helps provide a better life for some in one of the most dangerous areas of the world.

Being named Warman’s 2011 Citizen of the Year seemed to catch Guenther a little off-guard, despite the presence of several family members at the presentation, held at the Brian King Centre on Saturday, December 3.

“It’s just great to work in a community where the people treat you well,” the Warman Public Works Manager told the audience as his family, including his 86-year-old mother in the front row, looked on proudly. “There’s been some ups and downs in 30 years but tonight I’d just like to thank the mayor, council, the staff, town administrator and all the administrators, council and staff in the past that have just really respected me – and that goes both ways.”

Guenther, who hinted that retirement from the Town of Warman may be in the cards in the coming year, has been heavily involved in the for-

mation of Christlike Ministries. The charitable organization primarily seeks to improve the quality of life for residents in Juárez, Mexico who have been riddled with violence as drug cartels battle for superiority in the city of 1.5 million across the border from El Paso, Texas. Whether it is helping prepare a fundraising banquet here at home or making the multi-day trek with trailers loaded with donations of supplies destined for Juárez, Guenther is at the heart of it all.

“His involvement with Christlike Ministries has become a passion that the community of Warman has had the privilege of enjoying through many banquets, compelling speakers and music that speaks to your heart,” Mayor Sheryl Spence recited in her remarks about Guenther. “He and his hard-working team have taken this ministry out into the other parts of the world in hopes of making the lives of underprivileged families easier.”

Guenther spoke of growing up on the family farm and not really having an affinity for agriculture. Recalling the day he finally learned from his father how to harrow a field in a straight line, Guenther said it was that lesson that instilled in him the motivation to do something and do it well.

“I’ve tried to do my best with the Town of Warman,” he explained, noting there have been a few days where he maybe didn’t. “But, that has been my goal – to do my job well.”

“I would just like to really thank everyone and humbly accept this. I really truly do feel blessed tonight and I want to give all the glory to my heavenly Father.”

A mixture of children and adults of all ages, the band represents the community of Warman at several performances including the Festival of Trees, the Warman Carol Festival, Twin Rivers Music Festival, the Warman Rodeo Parade as well as at its semi-annual performances in May and December plus other special request appearances throughout the year.

Budget reveals interesting farming stat

C O M M E N T A R Y

Solution to parking dilemma at city s hospitals badly needed Hundreds of cars and trucks – primarily belonging to patients and their families – park at Saskatoon’s three hospitals on a daily basis. Often full during peak visiting and outpatient service hours, long lines of frustrated motorists can frequently be found on the ramps leading in and out of hospital property.

A recent editorial in the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) Journal is pressing hospitals to drop parking charges as a way to actually encourage healthier outcomes.

Acting Director of the CMA, Dr. Rajendra Kale, points out that parking fees are really just health care user fees in disguise.

The Saskatoon Health Region (SHR), for one, makes it no secret that revenue from parking at its hospitals helps fund maintenance and patient care to the tune of nearly $7 million a year. In a recent media report, SHR says that while hospitals in Saskatoon do charge for most parking, dialysis patients and palliative care patients’ family members at St. Paul’s Hospital receive complimentary parking.

But, the CMA says parking fees at hospitals actually break Canada Health Act rules. Under the Act, every resident is guaranteed access to care without financial barriers.

“This is a barrier to health care,” Kale told the Canadian Press. “This is anxiety and stress and grief that we can get rid of. That’s my main reason for writing this.”

Some may argue that paying for parking at hospitals is not a big deal financially. But, even at a modest $3 per hour in Saskatoon, a short visit to a loved one for three or four days in a row equals a few bucks that could be spent on food, clothing or shelter. Also, one has to remember that while parking may be $3 per hour today, it could all of a sudden become $4 or $5 per hour with no consultation or recourse by the health region.

Another argument some would make against having free parking is that it would be almost impossible to ensure the lots are used exclusively by patients and visitors.

There must be a way, though, to put an end to paid parking at Canadian hospitals as they have done in Wales and Scotland, the CMA says.

Being a patient or visiting a loved one in hospital can be stressful enough. Worrying about the cost of parking shouldn’t be.

Sometimes even uneventful news events reveal something eventful.

Last week's mid-year update for the 2011-12 budget was just such an event – one that told us little we already didn't suspect about our finances, but something interesting about the changing face of farming.

Finance Minister Ken Krawetz revealed a modest $25-million surplus in the general revenue fund budget – the part that includes just the taxes and royalties we collect versus the departmental spending. Add in the Crown corporations and we have a slightly bothersome $ 304.3-million deficit.

As we all surely expected, the problem has been spring flooding that cost us about $240 million extra in crop insurance, road repair, etc. However, the increased flooding costs were partially offset by an extra $106 million from the federal government that is paying its share of flood assistance and jointly shared programs like crop insurance.

Moreover, overall government spending only increased $247 million since the March budget plan – a modest amount considering the flooding bill.

And also to no one’s surprise, oil revenue and land-lease sales were down because of lower oil prices and tougher drilling conditions in the wet spring. This, in turn, is producing less corporate tax revenue. However, potash recovering in both prices and sales allowed the province to produce an extra $157 million in revenue.

Yes, it's a little worrisome that we seem to be just scraping by at a time of near-record prosperity for the government. At the very least, it's a sign that we are spending too much and should be putting more aside for those literal rainy days. But as mid-year financial statements go, Krawetz's news last week was comparatively uneventful.

However, that didn't make it completely uninteresting. A couple very

interesting numbers revealed during the technical briefing with reporters said a lot about farming.

Finance Ministry officials explained that their study of Saskatchewan employment (one of the many things Finance keeps track of so that it has a more exact idea of how much income and other tax they will be collecting) showed that the province has only created 1,600 jobs so far – significantly down from the 6,000 new jobs that it predicted by fiscal year's end.

But while overall job creation was off, finance took solace in a 4,000-job increase in "non-agriculture" jobs.

This means that much of the job-loss centred on agriculture. Had farm employment been more stable, officials speculated, Saskatchewan job creation would clearly have been on track.

Of course, officials attributed this directly to the wet spring that meant less seeding, less people employed at harvest and, generally, less people employed on the farm.

Such numbers are telling on a cou-

ple of accounts First, it does show how vulnerable rural Saskatchewan's economy is to weather – especially when the weather also affects things like oil drilling.

Second, it shows how vulnerable farming is for some and perhaps how easily some farmers are simply converting to other forms of income.

(That increase in non-agricultural jobs may have to be at least partly attributed to those who once got their income primarily from farming now getting it from another kind of work.)

Third, it probably tells us something about the changing face of agriculture. That seemingly smaller operators are more frequently slipping out of agriculture into more lucrative employment, might also say much about why the federal Conservative government has eagerly pushed through its legislation to end the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly.

While a majority of farmers (those with permit books) may have voted to keep the CWB, it may be that many of the smaller producers aren't as dependent on the land for the bulk of their income. They may be unhappy about the CWB’s potential demise, but these farmers may be phasing out of farming, anyway.

It's just one of the many things one can learn from a seemingly uneventful news event.

Beware the siren songs of Maurice Vellacott.

With legislation to destroy the single desk of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) having passed the House of Commons last week, Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott is singing soothing words that farmers will be able to count on the Board for the next five years.

But farmers know better than to listen to siren songs. Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz told a committee that he would celebrate the swift removal of the government backstop: “If they do it in two

years, it'll be great,” he said.

After it lost its monopoly, it only took two years before the Australian Wheat Board was sold off to Agrium. Small family farmers were crushed under the weight of multinationals and are leaving the business in droves.

Don’t expect anything less swift and gruesome in Canada. Just ask the Minister.

Snowmobiles meant for the great outdoors, not appropriate for urban parks Warman s bylaws state that snowmobilers must take the most direct route in and out of town. Snowmobiles and ATVs are not permitted in urban parks.

TAKING A BREAK Carey Gallagher takes a break while snowmobiling on a groomed snowombile trail through a forested area. A whiskeyjack perched on Carey s head also appears to be enjoying the serene beauty of the winter scene.

Snowmobiling offer a great family activity, but operators need to respect the rules of the road. (Far right) Snowmobile tracks left in a Warman park.

Motorized vehicles, including snowmobiles, ATVs, and motorcycles, are not permitted in Warman s urban parks. Damage to vegetation has occurred as a result of careless driving.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

E

xtensive damage to recently-planted trees and shrubs in several new parks in Warman has raised concern about how some snowmobile enthusiasts operate their sleds in town.

At the most recent Warman Town Council meeting November 28, a report from the municipality’s Director of Recreation and Community Services noted thousands of dollars in damage has been caused by careless snowmobile operation in a number of linear parks.

Because the parks are connected, some snowmobilers are tempted to use the invitingly-open spaces as highspeed race tracks.

But it’s a practice that’s not only costing taxpayers big money for repairs, it could eventually lead to more stringent rules regarding snowmobiles in town.

“The concern is that motrized vehicles and ATVs driving into and through our parks are causing lots of damage, and that equates to lots of dollars going out of taxpayers’ pockets to pay for repairs,” noted Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence. “It’s a very valid concern and it has to be addressed.”

Spence, a snowmobile enthusiast herself, said she and others look forward to the arrival of winter when they can “get out and enjoy the sport.”

But with that enjoyment comes responsibility, she added.

“It is so nice to be able to go out my back alley directly into a great groomed snowmobile trail,” she said. “I, for one, would hate to see this taken away because we have some oeprators who do not respect our parks, or who don’t follow the rules of the road and the Town of Warman bylaw.”

The current Warman Snowmobile bylaw - which is posted on the Town of Warman website at www. townofwarman.ca - stipulates that snowmobilers must take the most direct route from

their residence into and out of town. It also states that snowmobiles are not allowed to be operated on major traffic arteries including Central Street, Sixth Avenue south of Central, and Third Avenue north of Central (other than to cross those streets).

Snowmobiles are prohibited from being driven directly into gas stations to fuel up.

They are also restricted to speeds of 20 kilometers per hour within town limits, and can only be operated between 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. in town.

The Town of Warman also has a Parks Bylaw, which states it is illegal to “damage or destroy any vegetation or any structure in a park.” Recently, signs have been posted in park areas prohibiting operation of ATVs, motorcycles and snowmobiles in park limits.

Wade Eberle, Bylaw Enforcement Officer for the Town of Warman, said because snowmobiles are licensed vehicles, they should only be operated on streets and alleys, using the shortest route into and out of town.

“Motorized vehicles do a lot of damage to parks,” he confirmed. “In the winter, it may be hidden because of the snow cover, but it shows up in the spring when the snow melts and there’s a big mess.”

Eberle said the maximum

fine for individuals contravening the Parks bylaw is $2000.

He said even though the snowfall in November was relatively light, it was “still substantial enough” to entice the snowmobilers out. He added that Parks and Recreation personnel who inspected the parks after the snowfall noticed vegetation - including several trees - being driven over and a lot of tracks through the park made by snowmobiles.

Eberle said the RCMP detachment in Warman are monitoring the area for violators.

At the council meeting, there was discussion about the possibility of amending the Snowmobile bylaw to further restrict snowmobiles in town.

Councilors felt that it was important to educate snowmobile operators first. Tightening the bylaw would only happen if violations continued to be a major problem.

Spence said while many towns and villages in rural Saskatchewan allow snowmobiles unrestricted movement within their boundaries, Warman’s situation is different.

“As we grow, so do the number of families who are enjoying snowmobiling,” she said. “It’s a fun winter pastime. Let’s not lose this privilege because of lack of care and concern for our community and park space.”

Get ready to ride this winter With each new snowflake that falls, snowmobilers across Saskatchewan are thinking about their next ride out.

But before heading out on the trails, there are things that every snowmobiler should do to prepare.

Saskatchewan winters bring some potentially hazardous and risky situations for snowmobilers. With freezing and thawing, thin ice is a major risk for snowmobilers early on.

Riders should be particularly aware of drainage ditches that have been created by farmers this past spring as a way to control the excess water caused by the rain. What may have once been familiar terrain is now unfamiliar and potentially dangerous. Snowmobilers also need to be aware of freshly fallen snow which can cause ditches, rocks, branches, drainage pipes and depressions to be covered.

To prevent needless accidents from happening, Peter Huebner, Chief Snowmobile Instructor with the Saskatchewan Safety Council, recommends all riders prepare before they head out to ride by doing their research and becoming familar with the terrain.

“Most accidents that happen can be prevented by preparing ahead of time and riding with care and attention,” says Huebner.

There are some basic tips that you should follow in order to have a safe and enjoyable snowmobile season: * Never ride alone. In case of an emergency it is essential to have someone there for help. * Wear proper snowmobile gear, including a helmet. * Take extra precautions when riding in unfamiliar terrain. * Don’t drink and ride. Alcohol is the cause of almost 70 percent of all snowmobile incidents.

* Use groomed snowmobile trails to prevent accidents from happening. There are over 10,000 kilometers of groomed trails in Saskatchewan. * Be careful when crossing roads, highways and railway tracks. Always come to a complete stop before proceeding. * The legal speed limit for snowmobiles is 80 km/hour (50 miles/hour).

Remember that all snowmobile operators born on or after January 1, 1989, are required to take the Snowmobile Safety Course in order to operate a snowmobile on public land. Participants must be at least 12 years old to register for a course.

The Saskatchewan Safety Council offers Snowmobile Safety Courses around the province from November through March. For more information on a course in your area please visit www.sasksafety.org .

Paul Woodburn has served the College from 2005-2012, a total of seven college-years.

He has served as our Ministry Arts Director, instructor in worship, music, technology and the director of Point of Impact; the College’s musical deputation (music ministry) team. “In those years of service, Paul has inspired others to join him in offering our very best to the LORD... in all that we do and through all of our lives,” recounts Rick McCorkindale, Academic Dean.

When asked to share a favourite Bethany College memory, Woodburn was hard pressed to narrow it down to one and replied, “Basically getting up every day to the realization that I really enjoy what I do. I enjoy the teaching, the prep, the discussions, colleagues and students... everything. Obviously, some of my best memories involve Point of Impact.

Each team was wonderfully unique. Every year brought joys and frustra-

ethany College is blessed to have quality personnel. They diligently seek to actively use their gifts to bless those they come in contact with. Rob Neufeld and Paul Woodburn have been a valued part of this team for many years and we wish them God’s richest blessings as they move out of their current roles at the College.

Rob Neufeld has served at Bethany College since 2001.

He served in the Director of Finance / Business Manager role for seven years.

He has always been involved in the donor relations area of college ministry and was appointed to the Director of Donor Relations role Rob Neufeld in 2008. President Howie Wall shares how Neufeld’s work impacted the college, “In moving the college forward in the donor relations area, he has created a ministry that cares for and shares with donors from coast to coast in Canada and even throughout the world. His greatest legacy is his pastor’s heart. His care for others is evident in all the relationships he has built with friends and alumni of the college.”

Neufeld is remembered by students at Bethany as being the man behind the Scholarship Podium. He has had the great pleasure of leading the Awards Paul Woodburn leads Youth Advance audience Committee in designatin worship.

The next several months will be spent discerning as a family and with others, the ministry opportunities that God may be calling us to pursue.” Thank you Paul and Anna for your service to Bethany.

Help us support each of these families in prayer as they seek God’s guidance for the next chapter in their lives.

Delisle Rebels finish off championship season in style with awards ceremony

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

he Delisle Rebels capped off their championship season last week by handing out the hardware.

A total of 16 awards were presented to 17 young athletes at the Delisle Community Hall

Brayden Knackstedt (Special Teams Player of the year co-winner; Offensive Player of the Year co-winner)

November 30.

Rebels head coach Ken Byers said choosing the award-winners was probably the toughest task the coaching staff had all season. “For every award we could have easily had five or six players who deserved to win,” Byers told the crowd. “It’s always a balancing act to ensure everyone is recognized for their contribution.”

Byers said the team’s success was based on its ethic of hard work. “We weren’t the biggest team out there,” said Byers. “We have a small school in a small town, but we showed that if you work hard you can beat the odds.”

Byers said an inspirational experience for the team early in the season was a visit to Mosaic Stadium, where the players were able to meet Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant.

“Darian admitted he wasn’t the biggest or the most successful football player in high school,” said Byers. “But he’s now playing professional football while many of those other players aren’t. He said success is all based on deter-

Logan Frohaug earned the award for Most Valuable Player. Byers said Frohaug, who made a difference in every game on special teams, offense and defense, was also the player who “made everyone around him better” as well.

The MVP award was named after the late Garry Sharp, a commumity member and a former coach who passed away in 2002. Byers said Sharp played a big part in generating interest in the football program at Delisle Composite School.

The members of the football team surprised the coaches by awarding framed photos of the championship team, signed by the players, to the entire coaching staff.

Jaden Wood-Sparrow, the quarterback of the Rebels, won the award for Most Dedicated Player.

Delisle Chiefs put together back-to-back wins, now in second spot Delisle Chiefs record two wins in their last two home games in December.

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A

fter scoring three quick goals in the first two minutes, the Delisle Chiefs looked like they were headed for a blowout over the West Central Rage.

Not so fast.

A quick time-out, coupled with a goaltender change, and the visiting Rage were suddenly a different team. They elevated their game and gave the hometown Chiefs a run for their money in Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) action in Delisle last Sunday.

By the end of the first period, the Chiefs were still ahead, but just barely.

Turnovers and costly penalties almost torpedoed what should have been an easy win against a Rage team that has struggled so far this season.

Delisle went into the

first intermission clinging to a 5-4 lead after having been outshot 15-12.

The Chiefs’ marksmen included Eric Ditto, Carter Yuzdepski, Mitch McNally, Justin Kerr and Russ Schneider.

The Rage responded with tallies from Brenden Grise, Brock Castle, Matt Mitchell and Brett Profit.

The Chiefs made a goaltending change to open the second frame, as Joel Adams was pulled in favour of their regular starter, Cam Irwin. It paid off, as Irwin slammed the door shut on the visitors over the following forty minutes.

“It wasn’t really our game plan to make it quite so close” conceded Chiefs coach Dave Norris. “We started off on fire and moved the puck well, and I think we caught them sleeping.

But then they realized the game had started, and we took some bad penalties and they got three power play goals.”

The Chiefs finally found the scoring touch again in the final minutes of the third period, when Dylan Kochan added an insurance marker to make it 6-4. Chiefs Cap-

tain Russ Schneider of Martensville scored his second of the night to cap things off with a little under three minutes left in regulation time.

The win gave the Chiefs a solid hold on second place in the North Division of the PJHL, three points up on the third-place Tri-Town Thunder, and four points ahead of the Saskatoon Quakers and Saskatoon Westleys.

The Chiefs had hammered the Westleys 12-4 the night before in Delisle to further help their cause. Prior to that game there was a four-way tie for second spot in the league’s North Division.

Norris said now that the final cuts have been made to the Chiefs’ roster, the players in the dressing room are “committed to winning” and aren’t taking any teams lightly from here on in.

“Our team really wants to get on a roll,” he said.

“The guys realize they have to play a full sixty minutes in this league in order to win.”

The Chiefs leave the friendly confines of the Delisle Centennial Arena for a two-game road trip this coming weekend. “We play Regina and Pilot Butte, and they’re two of the top teams,” noted Norris.

The Chiefs’ next home game isn’t until January 7 when they host the firstplace Saskatoon Royals.

“The Royals have had a great run lately,” noted

Norris. “Their last loss was against us, and it’s our plan to give them their next loss, too. We have the team that can beat them, and our guys will be jacked up for that game.”

This meant a tough road to the Bronze Medal match, but the Eagles soared hard and ended up playing the Millar Edge for this important prize. In a tight match, our Eagles took command of the match, and emerged with the Bronze Medal in the Provincial tournament, beating the Millar Edge 3 games to 1.

The Eagles Men’s team, aided by their 2nd place league finish, advanced to the semi-finals on Saturday to play the Palliser Panthers. In a very close match, the Bethany Eagles rose to the top, defeating the Panthers 3 sets to 2.

This win put the men into the Championship final against the top team in the league - the Great Plains Sundogs. The anticipation was tangible as the match began, and the Eagles lost the first set, but battled back to defeat the Sundogs in the second set. The action was fast and furious, with exciting rallies and big hits. In the end, it was a close shave for the Eagles, but to no avail as the Great Plains team regained

control of the match, eventually wearing down the Eagles to claim the title.

Four Bethany players were recognized for their excellent league play: Jaymie Baumann was named as one of the six all-stars for the Women’s division, while Kendell Wiens and Craig Pudlas were given the honour for the Men’s league.

and Andrew Reddekopp was awarded the Defensive Player of the Year award for his quality play.

In general, a successful season was had by the Bethany College Eagles teams this year both in their achievements and in their attitudes and sportsmanship.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2011

The lowest of lows strikes Blades to start December When it comes to consistency of performance, the “catch-phrase” by which sports teams live by is, “maintaining an even keel.” In other words, don’t get too high with the highs or fall too low when times are low!

The Saskatoon Blades are experiencing their second “low” of the 2011-2012 season and this one is down in the dregs going into a new week.

The Bridge City Bunch have lost five of their last six games and have been outscored 31-10 in that stretch.

The Blades are hopeful they hit rock bottom and all they can do is go up with their performance following an 8-3 setback Sunday in Edmonton.

“There’s no use beating a dead horse here, things can’t get much worse than what they are for us right now,” said Saskatoon assistant coach Dave Struch following the Sunday loss which saw the Oil Kings score five power play goals…three of them during a five-minute power play after centre Jake Trask was ejected for a check to the head of Edmonton defenceman Griffin Reinhart with just under five minutes remaining in the second period.

“They exposed us.”

The 19-11-1 Blades have not played since Sunday and won’t return to action until Saturday, when they start a run of four games at Credit Union Centre leading into the Christmas Break, when they host the Regina Pats. As of this writing, Trask had not yet faced supplemental discipline from the WHL while leading scorer Josh Nicholls and centre Brent Benson were sidelined by injury going into the week.

Ending the “low” and starting a new “high” might not be as quick to happen as many Blades’ fans would like! ***** BLADES PLAYER OF THE WEEK In a 1-3 week, the winner of this writer’s award would say it’s bittersweet. Josh Nicholls

posted three goals and an assist, including the overtime winner back on Friday in a 2-1 triumph in Medicine Hat. Besides the losses, the “bitter” part was not being able to play in Sunday’s 8-3 setback in Edmonton because of a right knee hurt…the extent of the damage and accompanying time on the sidelines had yet to be determined at the time this was written. The injury occurred late in Saturday’s 6-3 loss in Lethbridge.

The 19-year-old right winger leads the Bridge City Bunch with 20 goals and 35 points in 30 games. ***** BLADES PLAYER OF THE MONTH – Up until the final three games of the month, this was a slam-dunk choice… and it still was as Andrey Makarov started 13 of the Bridge City Bunch’s 14 games in goal.

The 18-year-old posted an 8-5 record with a 2.89 goals against-average and a .920 save percentage. The native of Kazan, Russia has been one of the three stars in 15 of the 26 games he has started and the early favourite to be the team’s M-V-P!

BETHANY AWARDS Continued from Page 9

cal education - we aren’t just experiential and we’re not just academic. We combine the best of both and provide a biblical learning community where the practical experiences of living and working together combine with first rate classroom education.”

This year, Academic Achievement Awards were presented sixteen students with a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or higher: secondyear ($200), third-year ($250), and fourthyear ($250).

Paul Morgun, Associate Admissions Director, recognized first-year students by awarding the New Student - Entrance Scholarships for 2011. These scholarships (totaling $58,000 over 4 years of study) are made available to new applicants and have five categories: Camp Ministry, Christian Life, Christian Leadership, Academic and Ministry Arts.

On behalf of several families and supporting agencies, Rob Neufeld and Cliff Brandes, who work in Bethany’s Donor Relations Office, were given the pleasure of presenting over $17,000 in scholarship and bursary money to twenty five students. Rob reminded the students of the honour and privilege it is for Bethany College to have so many supporters, many of whom are alumni of the College. We not only benefit from their generosity to individual students in these Scholarships, but also through their general support of the college subsidizing the costs to keep our enrollment fees affordable. Thank you to all our supporters for your generosity!

Keep your distance from snow plows Winter has hit Saskatchewan in full force and motorists will now be sharing the provincial highways with 300 snow plows from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure as they remove snow and treat ice on the 26,000 km network.

Motorists are reminded to stay back and stay safe, giving the snow plow room to work as highways are cleared using the most effective methods for varying weather conditions.

“Last winter we received a substantial amount of snow, and our plows were out in full force working hard to keep highways safe,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Jim Reiter said.

Snow plows can create a mini blizzard or whiteout condition in their

wake, often obscuring the plow from sight despite the checkerboard truck boxes and flashing lights meant to keep them visible. Motorists who approach a sudden whiteout should be aware it is likely a snow plow working up ahead, and to slow down, stay back and stay safe. The plows pull over every 10 kilometres or so to allow vehicles to pass.

Legislation passed in the spring of 2009 also requires drivers to slow to 60 km when passing a snow plow, with warning lights flashing, weither in operation or stopped on the side of the road.

There are around 300 snow plow trucks working in 85 maintenance sections throughout the province, on the road before, during and after storms.

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN The holiday season is in full swing, and your to-do list is growing. Take steps to be more efficient and reduce the load wherever possible, Capricorn.

VIRGO You re on the hunt for the perfect gift. Start in places you wouldn t look otherwise, Virgo. A film inspires you to lend an organization a hand.

AQUARIUS Requests for time and money increase. Pick the best and leave the rest. You re only human, Aquarius. An elderly friend makes a speedy recovery.

LIBRA A project ends with a flourish. Take a few days off to unwind and catch up on stuff at home, Libra. Time to get cracking on the decorating.

PISCES Time to switch gears, Pisces. You finished what you signed up for, and even though much remains to be done, it s time you bowed out. A gift has an added surprise.

SCORPIO Solitude is a welcome friend at this hectic time of year.

Enjoy it, Scorpio, and do something fun for yourself. A book puts a new spin on an old topic.

ARIES A friend wrestles with a personal demon. Be there for them throughout the long recovery process. A coworker pitches a fit. Ignore it, Aries.

TAURUS Party invites arrive by the handful. You can t possibly attend them all, Taurus, and no one expects you to. The plans for holiday travel begin to unfold.

GEMINI An announcement catches you off guard. Hide your surprise, Gemini, and offer up your congratulations. You can fuss about it later. Destiny calls.

CANCER Where will you be spending the holidays, Cancer? Let the ruckus begin. A financial review turns up rosy. Way to go! A relative returns a favor.

LEO Tirades at home turn into a full-blown battle for control.

Escape the madness with a road trip to someplace special, Leo. A repair is completed.

SAGITTARIUS Twinkling lights dredge up a feud long forgotten. It s not too late to make amends, Sagittarius. Cooler weather makes for fun weekend activities.

MD Ambulance celebrates 35 years of service Minor hockey focus of Hockey Day in SK MD Ambulance is proud to celebrate 35 years of service to Saskatoon and its surrounding Communities.

In 1976 Mike Dutchak opened the doors of MD Ambulance and started the service with one Ambulance and 3 employees working out of a house. Marquis Downs was the only contract that MD Ambulance had and there were 2 other competing Ambulance Services.

Now MD Ambulance has grown into one of the most di-

verse EMS Services in Canada.

A Partner with the Saskatoon Health Region and the only EMS service in Saskatoon it currently employs 147 staff that work as Paramedics, Dispatchers or Administration.

“35 years is truly a milestone for this organization, we wouldn’t be here today without the partnerships we have developed over the past 35 years” states Dave Dutchak MD Ambulance President and CEO. Paramedic responding in

Ambulances is the core business for MD, but there are several other areas where Paramedics are making a difference.

“What has made us different from other EMS agencies is the opportunities we offer to our staff. Currently we have staff in the ER Department at RUH, flying with Air ambulance, at mine sites, working in the Health Bus, running our Heart Safe Program, and partnering with Police by having Paramedics on the ERT

team and working in Police Cells” states Troy Davies MD Ambulance spokesperson.

MD Ambulance has a Communication Centre that employs 22 dispatchers. The Communication Centre is currently going through its 4th Accreditation through Medical Priority. The Centre currently dispatches for 39 Ambulance Services, 25 Fire Departments, Corman Park Police and Saskatchewan Air Ambulance. The Centre averages 500 calls per day.

Mark January 21, 2012 on your calendar.

That’s the date set for SaskEnergy’s Hockey Day in Saskatchewan. The event marks the fifth annual province-wide celebration of Canada’s favourite winter sport, with the City of Melville chosen as the host community.

SaskEnergy Hockey Day in Saskatchewan is dedicated to celebrating and promoting the game of hockey throughout the province while also serving to strengthen community rink spirit.

The Saskatchewan Hockey Association (SHA) and SaskEnergy encourage all minor hockey associations to oragnize an event in their own community the weekend of January 20-22, for children and adults of all ages who share a passion for the game.

SaskEnergy Hockey Day in Saskatchewan provides associations a platform to fundraise and keep rinks thriving in Saskatchewan communities by making the local arena the main hub of activity for the weekend and generating local support.
