Communities work together on long-term water management plan By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The City of Martensville has endorsed a longterm regional water control project in partnership with the Town of Warman, the Town of Dalmeny, the Town of Osler and the RM of Corman Park. A motion adopted at the Martensville City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 17, committed the city to work toward regional solutions for flood mitigation and water management. Last November, the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority (SWA) announced that $1 million in provincial funds would be made available to the municipalities to help cover the operational and capital costs of a water control project, provided the municipalities agree on an overall regional plan and share costs on a per-capita basis. Martensville was the most recent signatory to the partnership agreement. The other municipalities endorsed the deal in December. Under the terms of fund-

ing from the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority (SWA), the province will pay 75 percent of the cost of the three-phase project, while the five municipalities are responsible for the remaining 25 percent of the cost. While the money may be used for both engineering and construction costs, the government funds are finite, and there is no guarantee of additional funding. If the partnership between the municipalities breaks down for any reason, the funds will be withdrawn. The fi rst phase of the 3-phase project involves preparation of an initial engineering report to suggest concrete solutions to water drainage problems, along with projected costs for each project. The second phase entails choosing the most beneficial and cost-effective projects, and drawing up detailed designs. The third and fi nal phase involves implementation of the chosen projects. All the municipalities are expected to contribute

financially to Phase 1 of the North Corman Park Flood Control System project, which will be carried out by Golder and Associates. The province, through the SWA, will contribute 75 percent of the cost of the engineering study, while the municipalities chip in 25 percent. The cost for the municipalities of Phase 1 amounts to $14,973. Of that total, Corman Park will contribute $6,79.92; Martensville’s share amounts to $3,616.94; Warman will contribute $3,468.42; Dalmeny will kick in $1,134.30; and Osler is responsible for $674.17. Martensville Mayor Gordon Rutten said he’s encouraged to see the province commit $1 million toward the project, noting it shows there is recognition of the severity of the problem in the area. He’s also optimistic that the regional approach will produce longlasting results. “It’s a positive step,” Rutten said at the Martensville City Council meeting. “Taking 25 percent of

the cost and dividing it up among five municipalities makes it a lot less painful for everyone.” One of the potential aspects of the water management system involves a partnership between the City of Martensville and the RM of Corman Park to allow the city to tap into the drainage project which will be constructed at the North Corman Industrial Park.

Two people died and three were injured late Saturday night following a two-vehicle collision on Highway 11, approximately two kilometers south of Saskatoon. RCMP responded to the scene at 11:45 p.m. and found that a van carrying an adult hockey team had been struck from behind by a small car that was also northbound. The van was stopped on the shoulder of the passing lane with its hazard lights activated when it was hit. The two occupants of the car were pronounced deceased at the scene while two passengers in the van were taken to hospital with injuries. A third passenger in the van was treated at the scene and released. The victims have been identified as a 34-year-old male from Bradwell and a 19-year-old female from Saskatoon. The cause of the collision has not been determined and police are unsure if alcohol was a factor. Neither of the car’s occupants were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Hague prepares for the future with district planning initiative By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

hat will the Town of Hague look like 25 years down the road? That was the question put to members of the community at a recent public meeting held as part of a larger economic development initiative. And for many, including the town’s mayor, it was an “eye-opening” exercise that sparked creative and practical suggestions. “I was very impressed with the meeting,” said Hague Mayor Pat Wagner. “People are looking to the future, and they want to help shape the town so that as we grow and attract more amenities, businesses and people, we can still retain the rural character that we like about our community.” The meeting, held Thursday, January 12 in Hague, was the latest in a series of sessions organized through the Twin Rivers Regional Planning Initiative. The regional partnership includes the Town of Hague, the RM of Rosthern, the Town of Rosthern, the Village of Hepburn, the RM of Laird, Town of Waldheim, RM of Duck Lake and the Town of Duck Lake. The Twin Rivers Planning Initiative contracted with Prairie Wild Consulting to develop a comprehensive District Planning Framework and District Planning Commission for the municipalities. The consulting firm is also helping the communities come up with a business development strategy aimed at attracting and retaining businesses. The project began in 2008, and is scheduled to wrap up its initial phase later this year.

HIGHWAY CORRIDOR The twinning and rerouting of Highway 11 around the Town of Hague offers a chance to redesign the entrance to the community, said Wagner. A walking trail, more trees and landscaping, as well as gathering places and other amenities for residents

and visitors can all become part of the renewal plan for the old portion of Highway 11 that currently runs between two service roads. At the public meeting in Hague January 12, residents brainstormed about what they’d like to see along that section of roadway, and also what plans and priorities would help the community meet the needs of a growing population while still retaining the essential rural character of the town. Wagner said that while she welcomes the twinning of the highway and the added safety factor, the town really needs to address the redevelopment of the old highway in a constructive and proactive way. Otherwise, she noted, development will occur more or less haphazardly and the present opportunity will be lost. She noted that the town is working cooperatively with the RM of Rosthern and other municipalities to plan not just for Hague, but for the larger Twin Rivers region as a whole. Wagner said there are many assets in Hague that can provide a foundation for future growth. She said the historical railway water tower is a valuable heritage building that sets the town apart because it is one of the few that are left in the area. Similarly, she noted, the Saskatchewan River Valley Museum, run by volunteers, houses literally thousands of artifacts and a heritage library and is a potentially rich draw for visitors. “Looking to the future, we’d like to see a walking trail, with benches and trees and places where people can sit and visit,” said Wagner in an interview. “It would also be nice to have a bridge over by the museum where the little creek flows, as well as a small campground so visitors have some amenties and can stay overnight.” Wagner said a new walking path, which could be part of the redevelopment of the old Highway 11 right of way, could potentially link the different areas of town and also provide a mix of heritage,

Session part of larger regional economic development study The twinning of Highway 11 has spurred several communities in the “twin rivers” region to plan for future growth. The Twin Rivers Planning District – which includes the RMs of Rosthern and Laird, towns of Duck Lake, Rosthern, Waldheim and Hague and the Village of Hepburn – are working toward a common Official Community Plan (OCP) and shared economic development intiatives. The district contracted with Prairie Wild Consulting of Saskatoon in 2008 to help prepare a joint plan. That process is now getting closer to completion, says Lenore Swystun, the founder of Prairie Wild Consulting. “When the provincial Planning and Development Act was updated in 2007, it meant that municipalities had to ensure their Official Community Plans were kept current and were done in a professional manner,” she explained. “Communities now have to look 25 to 30 years down the road and plan for growth.” The Town of Hague is currently working on updating its OCP and zoning bylaws within the context of the overall plan for the region. “The important thing that really needs to be taken into account with any sort of planning is the local wisdom and the experience of the people who live in the community,” explained Swystun. recreation and business access. And while any potential redevelopment project will cost money, it should also be seen as an investment in the

Quick response limits damage in Warman automotive repair shop fire By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

quick response by Warman and Martensville fire departments to a vehicle fire inside a Warman automotive repair shop last week saved at least one building from going up in smoke. The fire inside Warman Truck and Trailer Ltd. on 6th Avenue South was called in by a passing motorist around 8:30 pm on Tuesday, January 17, according to Lieutenant Kevin Schwartz of the Warman Fire Department. No one was in the shop at the time, and there were no injuries in the blaze.

Emergency response personnel from Warman and Martensville were on the scene within fifteen minutes and extinguished the blaze before it could spread to the building itself. Fire crews battled icy temperatures as the temperature plummeted to a bone-chilling minus 32 degrees. While the cause of the blaze is currently under investigation, firefighters say it appears it began in a truck that was parked in the building. “The original fire likely started from a semi-tractor that was inside the shop,” said Schwartz. “When we arrived on scene there was a lot of smoke and a little bit of flames coming from the truck itself. It was contained probably within fifteen minutes.” Schwartz said the Warman fire crew attacked the fire from the west end of the shop, where the vehicle was located, while the Martensville team worked to extinguish the fire from the east end. “There’s quite a bit of smoke damage but other than that, there was no major structural damage to the building,” said Schwartz. The vehicle that started on fire, a semi-tractor that was owned by Shercom Industries, was completely destroyed. The interior of the shop suffered serious smoke and water damage, and a bobcat that was parked next to the truck was also seriously damaged. Schwartz said it was fortunate that the fire occurred in the evening, in a high-traffic location. “It could have been much worse,” he said. “If the fire had continued for another 30 minutes or so, then it probably would have become a structural fire. If that had happened, we would have had to attack it from the outsde and just do our best to control it from there. In a case like that there’s not much more you can do.” Schwartz said the fire was easier to notice because of the darkness. “It’s more visible during the night than during the day,” he said. “It was lucky that someone driving by noticed it and called 911 quickly.” Schwartz added that there were more fire personnel

available to battle the blaze in the evening as well. “We had one of our pumper trucks and our command vehicle, as well as another pumper truck to use as a standby unit,” explained Schwartz. “Martensville came over as part of our mutual aid agreement, and they had their pumper truck as well as their command vehicle.” “We couldn’t have picked a colder night for it,” conceded Schwartz. “Fires always seem to happen when it gets really nasty out.” Fire crews set up traffic control pylons on 6th Avenue South next to the scene. A major artery for commuter traffic, the street’s southbound lanes were blocked off and traffic was restricted for about two hours while firefighters worked to contain the fire. A sheet of ice covering the southbound lanes was sanded by town crews before the road was opened to traffic about 10:00 pm. The shop, owned by Ron Neufeld of Warman, was just recently opened a few months ago. It is expected to be repaired as soon as possible.

C O M M E N T A R Y By Colin Craig, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

SK: Send In Your Budget Wishes

Almost every day, special interest groups meet with provincial politicians and put in requests to receive your hard earned tax dollars. No doubt some of their projects are worthy of public funding, but many are driven by nothing more than self interest. So why don’t you counteract the efforts of the latter, by making your own pitch to the government? You see, it’s provincial budget preparation time again and that means that the finance minister and his colleagues are working on the provincial budget. Now is the time for you to send in an email or phone the finance minister to make your voice heard. Yes, we as taxpayers need to speak out and keep our politicians accountable not just at election time, but in between elections as well. In fact, when the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, a non-profit taxpayers' watchdog group, presented our pre-budget recommendations to the Minister of Finance last year, the advice didn’t fall on deaf ears. We pushed for school tax relief, reducing the small business tax, personal income tax relief and debt repayment to name a few recommendations. And how did the government respond? Well, here’s a hint: this year we gave the Finance Minister a tshirt that read "I acted on the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s recommendations to reduce the small business tax, cut income taxes and provide school tax relief, and all I got was this t-shirt.” Yes, some politicians do listen. Some might call the t-shirt gift brown-nosing, but we believe it's not only important to haul politicians out on the carpet for wasting tax dollars, but to also give them a pat on the back when they do something positive. This year we again noted in our pre-budget meeting that school taxes, personal income taxes, and sales taxes are all still higher in Saskatchewan than they are in Alberta. More incremental reductions were recommended to ensure Saskatchewan is as competitive as can be; allowing businesses the resources to compete internationally and to ensure talent from abroad is interested in moving to the province. However, we also highlighted the government's Achilles heel; high spending increases. Yes, resource revenues are riding high, but what if the bottom drops out like it did in 2009-10? What if spending eventually outpaces resource revenue growth like it did in Alberta? For years the province next door increased spending at an unsustainable pace. Now, they’re in a position where they’ve racked up over $8.3 billion in deficits over the past four years. Some will suggest it’s because they don’t have enough revenue coming in, but the reality is they actually increased spending too much. Starting in 2005, had the Alberta government capped spending increases at the combined provincial rate of inflation and population growth, they would actually be running a $4.1 billion surplus this year; not a $3.1 billion deficit. Such a cap would have allowed for spending increases on average of 4.6 per cent per year – hardly breakneck, but hardly shabby either. One thing is for sure, taxpayers give so much to the government in terms of tax dollars and taxing power itself. How can you afford not to tell them what you think they should do with it and how much you think they need in the first place?

After years of feasting off problems of past NDP governments in health care, could it be that Premier Brad Wall is now starting to feel the same frustration? The still-relatively young Saskatchewan Party government has had a surprisingly easy ride when it comes to health care delivery. Yes, there has been the occasional dust like the problems at the Wakaw Hospital or the decision by the Sun Country Health District to cut beds in Wawota. Most recently, Shellbrook is experiencing a similar doctor/hospital emergency service issue. And horror stories are starting to emerge out of the big city emergency rooms in both Saskatoon and Regina as a result of unprecedented overcrowding. But at least until recently, the upswing in oil, gas and potash revenue in Saskatchewan has simply allowed the government to throw money at most any problem. Nurses claim to be overworked and underpaid? Well, while the Roy Romanow NDP government had to lay off nurses in the early 1990s and legislate them back to work in the spring of 1999, the Sask. Party government was able to hire more nurses and give them 35-per-cent-plus raises in the spring of 2008. And while one might question the NDP government’s priorities in 1993 that led to closure of 52 rural hospitals and the Plains Health Centre on the outskirts of Regina, no one can question that it was the massive deficits run up by the previous Grant Devine Progressive Conservative governments of the 1980s that forced decisions to be made. Fourteen straight balanced NDP government budgets (at least, on the general revenue side) meant that the arriving Sask. Party government were faced with no such dilemma. In fact, the Sask. Party is even building 13 more hospitals and nursing homes in rural Saskatchewan and plans are now in the works to build hospital replacement facilities in North Battleford, Moose Jaw and the new Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon. Of course, it hasn’t just been good luck. Credit the Wall government for at least making some of its own good fortune. The government is on track to

MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics

spend $4.46 billion on health care this year, which would not only represent the rarity of the health department coming in on budget but will also represent a decrease in health spending not seen since the Romanow government cuts in 1993. Some of this has to simply do with less capital construction spending this year, but a lot of it has to do with being smarter and less philosophically tied to how the health care system is supposed to operate. By viewing hospital patients as customers and by introducing what is called the LEAN efficiency program, cost-savings are being found. And more to the point, surgical waiting lists are going down with the advent of private surgical clinics paid

for by the public system - something that wasn’t considered by past NDP governments. But for all the economic advantages the Wall government has enjoyed and for all the wise moves it’s made to improve health care delivery, it now seems to be facing the inevitability that all governments face. Sooner or later, the crushing demand of the health system, weigh a government down. Some of that weight is coming from Ottawa, which has served notice that federal health transfers (now increasing six per cent each year) will be limited to the rate of economic growth. Much of this weight is the natural effect of an aging population, a large First Nations population with high demands, on-ongoing demands for premium service in all corners of the province and overall population growth. But like all governments before them, the Sask. Party may finally be realizing how difficult it is to feed the insatiable appetite of the health system.

crowd. We are growing rapidly, but we are a community with strong loyalties to each other and to our recreational spaces. It is not uncommon for a building or business to be open for a period of time before the planned Grand Opening. As a council, we would have loved to have had our grand opening ceremony this past December; however, this is an event that needs to be held at the proper time. Currently, the facility is open and is operating. Unfortunately, the project is not complete and still remains a construction site. We were subject to an attendance restriction on the amount of people inside the building and there are large sections off limits to the public. These conditions are not acceptable for our grand

opening. The published article was to announce the naming of our recreation building. Ideally named as, “The Legends Centre” sponsored by the Warman Home Centre. This was one of the fundraising opportunities granting naming rights for the entire structure. Our council and committee were in attendance along with media to cover the evening, but this was not the grand opening. This was an opportunity to share the official name and sponsor only. I agree with parts of your article, it started as a fantasy with dedicated individuals, evolved from theory to fact, and morphed into a reality serving as a wonderful accomplishment for the community of Warman.

The Home Place RM marks heritage by designating Clark’s Crossing Road By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

here the heck is Clark’s Crossing? Many people reading this newspaper have probably asked themselves that question at one time or another. The short answer is that Clark’s Crossing is indeed a real place – or rather – was a real place. It’s located a short distance north of Saskatoon alongside the CN Railway line, just a few kilometers south of the big concrete Pioneer grain elevator. It’s very close to the “Saskatoon Shines” sign on the west side of Highway 11. The reason it’s not well known is because there’s not much left of the small community that was once known as Clark’s Crossing. In fact, the last surviving reminder of the telegraph station, railway station, general store, storekeeper’s house, post office and railway loading platform – is a row of carraganas with gaps to show where the entrances to the front yards were. That carragana hedge is now part of Walter and Donna Bartsch’s farmyard. From 1905 to 1954, the tiny settlement along the railway line halfway between Saskatoon and Warman was a huge part of the local community. A short distance away from Clark’s Crossing, along what is now township Road 381, is another remnant from that bygone era - the historic Pennerr School (now the clubhouse for the Saskatoon Snowmobile Club). Another school for German-speaking students, located across the road from the Penner school, has long since vanished.

Margaret Hein-Wiebe is determined to see that the heritage of the area is not lost. Her parents, Cornelius and Helena Hein, moved to the area in 1939, and relocated in 1946 to land at the intersection of Warman Road (Range Road 3050) and Township Road 381. She attended Penner School as a child, and remembers picking up the mail from the post office at Clark’s Crossing and buying goods from the general store alongside the tracks. She and her husband still live in the area that she will always consider to be home. It’s a place that’s filled with good memories and familiar landmarks. Her farmhouse is nestled behind a row of poplars next door to the old Penner School along Township Road 381 and a short walk from her closest neighbours, Walter and Donna Bartsch.

RM VOTES TO NAME ROAD Hein-Wiebe’s campaign to convince the RM of Corman Park council to designate Township Road 381 as “Clarks Crossing Road” proved successful. At the council meeting last Monday, a resolution was adopted unanimously to endorse her request. Council is still obliged to ensure the residents along the road are in favour of the move, but it’s not anticipated there will be any opposition. Hein-Wiebe said she first appealed to the RM of Corman Park to look at designating Township Road 381 as Clark’s Crossing Road last fall, but internal turmoil within the council and RM office at that time prevented anyone there from looking at her suggestion. Earlier this week, she made a presentation to the RM council meeting outlining her case. In her presentation, she said the cost to the municipality would be minimal, while the benefits could be potentially very large. “I represent a group of present and former residents of the Clarks Crossing area, especiall those whose acreages and farms are located on Township Road 381 leading to the former Clark’s crossing railway station, post office and general store which was central to the community. Penner School is also situated on this road,” she said in her presentation. “We propose that the road presently designated as Township Road 381, from Highway 12 to Range road 3050 be named Clark’s Crossing Road.” She said because Township Road 381 dead ends on both sides of Highway 11, the designation could be divided into “Clark’s Crossing Road West”

for that portion west of Highway 11, and “Clark’s Crossing Road East” for that portion east of Highway 11. She added that the current numbered system would be retained, just as it is for other roads in the municipality which have both names and numbers. She said designating the road would preserve some of the history of the community. “It would be invaluable in distinguishing this area from the area east of Warman known as Clarkboro,” she said. “The two are often confused by the media and visitors.” She added the designation would also honour the memory of John Fowler Clark, after whom both the railway station and the community were named.

HISTORIC AREA Hein-Wiebe and her neighbours are also working to convince CN Rail to allow a cairn to be built on a portion of the Bartsch’s land to mark the site of the former railway and telegraph station. Clearance from CN is needed because of railway right-of-way easements and safety concerns. The neighbours have some archival information about the settlement that they have gathered with the help of Leonard Doell of Warman, but they’re looking to supplement that with additional resources from the provincial archives. It’s a project that could take several more months to complete, but it will be worth it, said HeinWiebe. “It won’t be long until Saskatoon grows even further out this way, and the local knowledge could be lost if we don’t take steps to preserve it for future generations,” she said in an interview January 20 at the site of what used to be Clark’s Crossing. Braving sub-zero temperatures and standing in ankledeep snow along the windswept railway right-of-way, she and her neighbour, Walter Bartsch, pointed out where the different buildings once stood. The first general store was built in 1905. The train station was built in 1912. The post office began operations on April 1, 1905 and finally closed down in 1954. The first postmaster was John Fowler Clark, who got the contract for mail delivery in 1884, before the temperance

colony that would eventually become Saskatoon was established. “Because of a shallow area in the river just east of his land, Mr. Clark was able to cross the river on horseback,” explained Hein-Wiebe. “That’s one of the reasons he was awarded the post office contract.” The post office continued at Clark’s Crossing for many years. When the railway came through in 1902, a train station was established at the location. In addition, the first general store was built in 1905 by postmaster Johan Driedger, who also ran the store from 1905 to 1910. A series of postmasters followed, including: A.C. McEwen (1911-1920), William Pascoe (1920-1926), Robert P. McDonald (1926-1928), Elizabeth Delvechio (1928-1945), Travers William Wilson (19451949), Evelyn P. Miller (19491953), Beatrice Wilson (1953), and Peter P. Janzen (1953-1954). “A lot of people have never heard of Clark’s Crossing,” noted Bartsch. “At least they hadn’t heard of it until the Clark’s Crossing Gazette newspaper started up a few years ago. But the location and importance of Clark’s Crossing is still not well-known, and I think it should be.” Hein-Wiebe said many people think Clark’s Crossing refers to the Clarkboro Ferry, the well-used river crossing several kilometers further north that connects Warman and Aberedeen. “People get those two mixed up all the time,” she said. “They’re not the same place at all.”

NOD TO HISTORY Hein-Wiebe said she was pleasantly surprised to see the Clark’s Crossing name appear on a newspaper a few years ago when the Gazette first began publishing. She was even more pleasantly surprised to find that the publisher chose the name carefully and deliberately. “Clark’s Crossing was a very important place for many years,” noted Clark’s Crossing Gazette publisher Terry Jenson, who started the independent and fast-growing newspaper from scratch in 2008. “There was a telegraph station there, which provided a vital

peop communication link for people in the community at the time. The newspaper is also a very vital communication link, and naming the paper after this area was really a nod to the generations of people who have gone before us and who helped build this region to what it is today.”

Langham a step closer to adopting new OCP, zoning bylaws By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he Town of Langham is one step closer to adopting a new zoning bylaw and a new Official Community Plan (OCP). A public hearing last week gave the go-ahead to comprehensive document prepared by a Saskatoon-based architecture and planning firm. At a sparsely-attended public hearing in Langham on Monday, January 16, residents did not raise any con-

cerns with the draft OCP or zoning bylaws. Prior to the hearing, the RM of Corman Park had indicated in a written submission that it had some objections to the town extending its boundaries to the south side of Highway 16, with the land then being zoned for industrial and commercial purposes. The town was not proposing to extend water and sewer services across the highway. The RM suggested any industrial uses could be accommo-

dated with the land remaining part of the RM. A meeting between the RM and town prior to the public hearing resolved any potential difficulties, explained Langham Town Administrator Randy Sherstobitoff. He told the public hearing that the RM’s concerns are being taken into account, and that there is sufficient flexibility in the proposed OCP to alter some aspects for the mutual benefit of both municipalities. He noted the RM was not opposed to the over-

12014MC00

all proposals. The new OCP and zoning bylaw proposals were commissioned by the Town of Langham to help provide direction for future growth over the next few decades. The town began the process of preparing a new OCP in 2005, but it wasn’t until 2008 that the consulting firm of Crosby Hanna Associates was contracted to draft a revised OCP. An open house was held in 2010, at which time discussions were held with resi-

dents, and the final document was based in part on feedback from those discussions. Municipalities are required by provincial law to have an OCP and zoning bylaws prepared by certified professional planners. The proposed OCP and zoning bylaws are posted on the Crosby Hanna Associates website. Copies are also available at the Langham Town Office. Both the OCP and new zoning bylaws were given first reading by Langham

Town Council before Christmas. They will come back to council for second and third readings later this month. The public hearing was not intended as a question and answer period, but residents sought clarification of a few points in the document. Langham Mayor Glen Thiessen said while the documents have been in the works for a long time, he’s pleased to see a plan laid out for future growth for the town, which he said is growing at a healthy pace.

with Valerie Kirk BUILDING A BETTER BREAKFAST...PART I Did you know that about 25% of the population skips breakfast on a regular basis? Most people think if they get up too late it’s too late for breakfast. On the contrary, it actually isn’t. If you are one of those individuals who do skip breakfast, the following perils may occur. Metabolism may become sluggish as the body shifts into starvation-response mode. And along with a tendency to become very hungery and probably binge later creating a weight gain situation. You may also start to suffer from cognitive abilities, headaches, feeling tired and finally, your concentration may become impaired. Yet, many individuals skip breakfast. Some feel that they are not hungry. Others feel that a good workout without fueling the body first, will burn extra fat. Is this true? Is skipping breakfast harmful or have the dangers been overhyped?????

BREAKFAST AND BODY WEIGHT...PART II Some studies have shown that breakfast skippers, including kids and adolescents are more likely to be overweight or obese. But most studies are/or have been observational, so it is hard to know for sure. Researchers usually look for patterns in behaviour, either at one point in time or over several years. So can it be, that certain eating behaviors be associated with specific outcomes, such as how much people weight? Even if associations were identified, this type of research is not foolproof. Often the individual is asked to report but some people portray a better outcome than is accurate. Also, different habits could be responsible. There are individuals that skip breakfast and others that don’t, does this make these individuals gain weight more readily, if they exercise or not? Only a well designed experiemental trail can show that something causes something else, and few long-term experiemental trails have studied eating breakfast.

Darren Dietz just misses on a close scoring chance as Blades edge Brandon3- 2 on Friday, Jan 20.

GAZETTE PHOTO BY WAYNE SHIELS

Goaltending “torch” passed back to Makarov from Moodie When the Saskatoon Blades return to action Friday in Moose Jaw, Andrey Makarov will be in goal for the Bridge City Bunch. Meanwhile, Alex Moodie will be on a bus to Dauphin, Manitoba with the AAA Midget Winnipeg Wild for a Saturday game against the Parkland Rangers. However, the 16-year-old is not forgotten by the Blades…be it team-mates, coaches or fans! “He was spectacular,” stated Saskatoon general manager and head coach Lorne Molleken. “For a 16-year-old to play with the type of composure and confidence he did, there’s not a whole bunch to say. I think the record speaks for itself. He was a really big part of our teams’ success since the Christmas break.” Indeed, with Makarov starring for Russia at the World Junior Championship, then being knocked out of action by a concussion one period into his return to the Bridge City Bunch, Moodie stepped up and provided the Blades with surprisingly stellar netmining. He played in all 13 games since the Christmas break, starting 11 of them and posting a record of 9-3-0 with a goals against-average of 3.42 and a save percentage of .895. Included was a 2-0 shutout win in Brandon…the first ever blank-job by a 16-yearold in the 48-season history of the Blades’ franchise. The numbers were inflated by a

couple of victories in which he allowed six goals, but his team-mates scored more. Plus, two of his losses were by 6-4 and 5-2 scores. But, Moodie may have carved out a cult hero following out of Credit Union Centre fans back on Friday. In the midst of a 3-2 triumph over the Wheat Kings, the young goaltender heard chants of “Moooo-oo-oo-oo-die” as he made several spectacular saves in a gut-wrenching, intense, physical and emotional 3-2 triumph. “I’ve never had someone chant my name before,” ex-

plained a somewhat re-faced Moodie afterwards. He should get used to it because he’ll likely hear it again in Saskatoon when he next dons a Blades’ jersey! In the meantime, HOLY MAKAROV!!! ***** UPCOMING – In addition to Friday’s visit to Moose Jaw, the Blades will host Regina Saturday and Swift Current Tuesday. Once the Tuesday game is done, barring illness or suspension, Molleken will have coached in 973 regularseason W.H.L. games…tying

him with former Prince Albert, Red Deer, Seattle and Kelowna bench boss Peter Anholt for third place on the alltime “Games Coached List”. The next win for Molleken will be his 549th regular season success behind the bench… moving him ahead of the legendary Estevan and New Westminster Bruins’ coach Ernie (Punch) McLean into second place on the all-time list. Ken Hodge tops both lists from his days with the Edmonton Oil Kings and Portland Winter Hawks with 742 wins in 1,411 games coached. BLADES PLAYER OF THE WEEK – From being in a rotation as a healthy scratch to clutch scoring star. That’s the story of Kyle Schmidt. The Waldheim product was a “coaches’ decision” in 11 of the first 33 games this season. But, the 18-year-old has been in the Bridge City Bunch line-up for every game since a 6-3, December 14 loss to the visiting Kamloops Blazers. This past week, the defenceman, who was acquired from Calgary just before the start of the regular season, scored twice to end a 62-game goal-less drought and added an assist while posting a +3 rating. More importantly, his goals were game-winners… on Friday against Brandon and Saturday versus Victoria. Overall, Schmidt has two goals, five points and 22 penalty minutes, along with a -1 rating, in 37 games.

Year starts on busy note for Warman RCMP Detachment Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Acting Commander Warman RCMP Detachment

The following is the first weekly report from the Warman RCMP Detachment:

DRIVING OFFENSES Warman RCMP report that the 2012 year has started on a busy note. Police responded to numerous calls including 8 alcohol related driving offences. Traffic Collisions came to 57 with one having fatal results and 4 others involving serious injuries. Eight alcohol related incidents involving either charges or suspensions kept the Warman RCMP officers busy at the start of the New Year. PROPERTY CRIMES Commercial and manufacturing businesses in the RM of Corman Park have had several incidents of thefts from vehicles and offices during the weekday work hours. Unknown subjects have entered businesses and gone into employee lockers and other areas and have obtained wallets, car keys and other property. The Warman RCMP are investigating the matter in conjunction with Saskatoon Police Service as they have had similar thefts in their jurisdiction. A green pick-up and one 40 to 50 year old male have been noted to be in the areas at the time of the thefts. Keys and wallets have been recovered in other jurisdictions and in close proximity of the thefts. Anyone with information on these thefts is asked to contact police or Crimestoppers. TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT The Warman RCMP Detachment, with the assistance of Saskatoon Regional Traffic Services and Martensville Detachment conducted traffic check stops and traffic projects that detected violations such as stop signs, seatbelts and speeding. The month of December’s activities resulted in 110 traffic related charges. This activity was not restricted to Provincial statutes as there were criminal investigations in-

cluding some small drug seizures and a breach of court conditions.

CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS Warman RCMP investigated 4 complaints of assaults and two instances of uttering threats, including one assault on a Peace Officer where a youth is accused of spitting on a police officer during the course of an investigation. The Warman RCMP implemented their contingency plans to successfully locate and return home two missing individuals. There were several officers involved in a search in Osler for an emotionally disturbed teen on

January 10, who was later located and provided with assistance. The public are reminded that the Warman RCMP are responsible for policing services in the towns of Warman, Langham and Osler, as well as the R.M. of Corman Park on the west side of the South Saskatchewan River, but not including Martensville or the Town of Dalmeny. Also within the detachment jurisdiction are the R.M.s of Vanscoy, Montrose, Great Bend, Mayfield and all of the towns and villages within those R.M.s. Anyone wishing to contact the Warman RCMP can do so by calling (306)975-1670.

Hague mourns loss of Lorie Heinbigner The community of Hague is grieving the sudden passing of Lorie Heinbigner last week. Lorie Heinbigner, the wife of Hague town foreman Jim Heinbigner, died of heart failure on Sunday, January 15. Her funeral was held on Friday, January 20. Hague Mayor Pat Wagner says Lorie was a good friend to many people in the community, including herself and her husband, Dale Wagner. “It is hitting our community very hard,” she explained. “It was a shock to everyone who knew her.” Pat Wagner said Lorie Heinbigner’s sudden passing was totally unexpected. “Lorie was at the town meeting on Thursday, just a few days before she died, and she con-

tributed so much to the discussions about the future of the town,” Wagner said. “She had so many good ideas, and she was looking forward to seeing those ideas become a reality. Wagner said with the town’s assistant foreman on holidays, the town is doing its best to ensure public works are taken care of while Jim Heinbigner is off work. “People are very understanding,” she said. “We extend our deepest sympathy to Jim and his family. Lorie Heinbigner was 55 years old. She was born on May 5, 1956 in Rosthern. She is lovingly remembered by her husband and best friend Jim Heinbigner, daughters Nicole ({Ron} Trenton and Logan) and Megan and Dan (Austin and Delaney). She will also be

Lorie Heinbigner passed away on Sunday, January 15. remembered by her parents Jacob and Mary Neudorf and mother-in-law Martha Heinbigner, brothers and families; Bob (Lisa), Don (Linda), Collin (Amber) and inlaws and their families; Robert (Elaine), Glenn (Kathy), Brenda (Kevin).

CAPRICORN Reviews get underway, and no surprise, Capricorn, you supersede expectations. Give yourself a pat on the back and start looking ahead to the next challenge. AQUARIUS Not a chance, Aquarius. You have enough on your plate. Pass on the project and give someone else a turn to shine. A news item piques your curiosity. PISCES Make haste, Pisces. You ve dawdled long enough. Draw up a plan of attack and follow through with it. An affair of the heart takes precedence at home. ARIES Way to go, Aries. You saw a need and you fulfilled it, and someone high up takes notice. Perhaps you ll make that leap after all. A friend pitches you a proposal. TAURUS Mum is not the word this week, Taurus. You ve kept your opinions to yourself for far too long. Your loved one is not what they appear to be. Call them on it! GEMINI A little windfall makes for a big week! The good times continue at work with a celebration for a job well done. Congrats, Gemini. A friend returns a favor. CANCER Crazy Cancer. You re a risk taker, and once again, it pays off. Gather everyone together for some food and fun. Major changes are in store at work. LEO Lucky Leo. Friends bail you out time and time again. Make sure you return the favor, or there might not be anyone to catch you next time. VIRGO A great winter escape a-waits. Don t miss out, Virgo. Opportunities such as these come only once. A makeover will take place at home̶with or without you. LIBRA A family member appears to forever be in crisis. You ve helped them out repeatedly, but this time, you just don t have the means. Look at it as a sign, Libra. SCORPIO Wish no more, Scorpio, as a project comes to completion. A loved one undergoes a radical transformation. Receive them with an open mind and a warm heart. SAGITTARIUS Uh-uh-uh, Sagittarius. Now is not the time to back out of an agreement. You promised, so do whatever it takes to make good on it.
