Trucker dies in accident Victim in Hague on Highway 7 near Delisle crash identified A 59-year old truck driver from Calgary is dead after a motor vehicle accident on Highway 7 near Delisle.

Warman RCMP, MD Ambulance and Delisle Fire responded to a collision on Highway 7 approximately two kilometers west of Delisle shortly after noon on Friday, January 27.

According to Warman RCMP Sergeant Warren Gherasim, a semi-truck and trailer unit entered the south ditch adjacent to the highway. The driver of the vehicle, a 59-year old Calgary man, was reported deceased at the scene of the accident.

The victim has been identified, but his name is not being released until next of kin are notified.

Correction In the January 26, 2012 edition of the Gazette, it was incorrectly stated that the railway at Clark’s Crossing was built in 1902.

The line - which connected Regina and Prince Albert - was actually constructed by the Qu’Appelle, Long Lake and Saskatchewan Railway and Steamboat Company in 1890. The Canadian Pacific took over the line and operated it until 1906, when it was taken over by the Canadian Northern Railway, which eventually became Canadian National Railway.

The telegraph station at Clark’s Crossing was first established in 1876, as part of the original Dominion Telegraph line.

A 21-year-old woman is dead following a two-vehicle collision last week on Highway 11 north of Hague. The victim was identified as Vanessa Gaudet of Rosthern.

The accident occurred at approximately 9:30 on Tuesday night, January 24, according to the Rosthern RCMP detachment. The vehicle in which Gaudet was a passenger was northbound when it hit the rear end of a semi and trailer. Members of the Hague Fire Department, Rosthern RCMP officers, and ambulance personel responded to the accident.

A second person was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries.

East-bound traffic on the highway was diverted to grid roads in the area. Westbound traffic. meanwhile, was allowed to proceed cautiously past emergency vehicles and personnel at the scene.

According to Warman RCMP, the cause of the collision is not yet known.

Alcohol is not believed to be a factor and there were no other vehicles or persons involved. Medical causes have not yet been eliminated and are being considered.

Corman Park grapples with growth agenda Rural municipality presents ratepayers with various scenarios

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

D

ramatic growth in the RM of Corman Park over the past five years has lent a sense of urgency to the municipality’s efforts to adopt a new Official Community Plan (OCP) and a new Zoning Bylaw.

The OCP – which maps out the broad vision for the municipality – and Zoning Bylaw, which provides specific guidelines regarding land development and zoning, were last updated in 1994.

While amendments and updates have been regularly made over the intervening years, the changes created a lack of consistency in both documents.

A separate OCP and Zoning Bylaw were adopted in 2010 for the Corman Park - Saskatoon Planning District, a portion of the RM which lies close to the boundaries of the City of Saskatoon.

Last summer, the municipality launched a review of its OCP and Zoning Bylaw, contracting with two consulting firms: Associated Engineering and the planning Alliance. A stakeholder meeting November 15, 2011, gathered preliminary input for the review. A draft OCP is expected to be competed by April, and a draft Zoning Bylaw by June, with both documents finalized by July.

At a public open house in Saskatoon on Wednesday, January 25, the RM of Corman Park provided an overview of the current situation in the RM and the challenges with regard to land development.

A large crowd turned out for the event, with many people taking the opportunity to discuss the proposals with RM elected officials and planning department staff.

COMPETING VISIONS Two potential development scenarios, along with the pros and

cons of each, were outlined.

One scenario promotes clustered developments for industrial and commercial land use, as well as clustered multi-parcel country residential developments. These would prevent fragmentation of agricultural land parcels while utilizing existing roads and water utilities.

The other scenario would open up commercial development along major highway corridors and allow all types of residential developments throughout the RM. The final community plan could favour one option or the other, or could combine elements of both.

Reeve Mel Henry strongly favours opening the municipality up to all types of developments with fewer regulations governing land use. Henry has stated he is in favour of letting the marketplace dictate the type and pace of developments.

Henry has the support of many landowners and developers, who say they have been frustrated in their past efforts to move projects forward and take advantage of current positive market conditions.

On the other hand, some councilors say allowing unrestricted development could lead to greater land use conflicts and make it more difficult to maintain viable farming operations.

RESIDENTIAL GROWTH There were 45 residential housing starts in the RM of Corman Park in 2010, a 15 percent increase over the year before, according to statistics presented at the open house by the consulting firms.

Between 2007 and 2010, the total value of all residential housing construction in the RM amounted to $633 million.

The population of the RM is expected to grow as much as two per cent over the next decade. In 2006, the census population of Corman Park was 8,350. By 2021, the population could be between 9,690 and 11,240.

Three of the fastest-growing urban centres in the northern part of

Statistics and graph prepared by Associated Engineering and the Planning Alliance

the RM – Warman, Martensville and Osler – are also projected to see long-range growth. According to figures on display at the open house, the combined population of those urban centres is currently estimated at 15,300. By 2034, the combined population of Warman, Martensville and Osler could vary, based on projections, between a low of 30,900 and a high of 46,900.

INDUSTRIAL GROWTH Meanwhile, the value of industrial developments in the RM steadily increased between 2007 and 2010 - from less than $1 million in 2007 to over $24 million in 2010.

The planning study points out that prospects for employment in the RM are good, given the proximity to several urban communities, including Saskatoon.

The spread of pipelines carrying potable water supplied by SaskWater from the City of Saskatoon’s treatment plant on the South Saskatchewan River has helped make the RM a more attractive place to live and invest, according to the

DEVELOPERS MAKE CASE Developers have been invited

by the Reeve to pitch their proposals directly to the RM council in advance of the bylaw changes. According to several councilors, they want to see what potential projects are in the works. They note that the process for approval of the developments is unchanged.

At the RM council meeting on Monday, Janary 23, developers of a subdivision known as Grasswood Estates urged council to expedite the process for approval of proposals. They noted that unless approval is received by this summer, the cost of tapping into the Dundurn Rural Water Utility for the proposed subdivision will be much more expensive.

While a regional wastewater management facility does not currently exist in the RM, it is being seriously studied.

The RM currently maintains 1,450 kilometers of gravel roads, 80 kilometers of paved roads, and 50 kilometers of “special seal” roads.

In addition, several major highways and rail lines pass through the RM.

Raising OAS age turns back the clock

P

rime Minister Stephen Harper’s plan to raise the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security (OAS) pension program in Canada from 65 to 67 years is a bad idea.

The announcement caught most Canadians completely by surprise. There was certainly no hint during the recent federal election that this was on the horizon.

What made the surprise announcement even more galling was the fact that the Prime Minister chose to unveil it in front of a conference of well-heeled millionaires at the World Economic Forum in the posh resort town of Davos, Switzerland. If he had lifted the lid on this can of worms at a corner coffee shop anywhere in Canada, he’d have met with the same kind of outraged reaction that forced former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to backtrack on de-indexing OAS pensions from the rate of inflation back in 1985.

Harper attempted to justify his proposal by claiming the costs for the OAS will spiral out of control because of the huge numbers of aging baby-boomers over the next two decades. The government estimates the cost of OAS will rise to $108 billion by 2030 from its curent level of $36.5 billion - as the number of seniors is projected to increase from 4.7 million to 9.3 million. In effect, he is claiming the only way to protect the OAS is to erode and weaken it.

While the Prime Minister has attempted to contain the damage by saying there will not be any changes to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) - that it is only the OAS which is affected - people are justifiably upset about the proposal.

Besides, that argument is a red herring. The OAS is funded directly from government revenues, while the CPP is a separate fund that Canadians and their employers pay directly into during the course of their working lives.

The monthly OAS payment is not a great deal of money. It amounts to only $526.85 for seniors below an income threshold. For many seniors who have worked hard and contributed to Canadian society for many decades, it represents not only their only secure source of income, but also an acknowledgement of thanks from the rest of society. It’s very difficult to believe that in less than twenty years, this country’s general revenue stream will be insufficient to provide a bare minimum of support for senior citizens. Considering the amount of money casually allocated for military spending, tax breaks to large corporations, pork-barrelling for Cabinet Ministers’ ridings, and other wasteful spending, the shortfall for the OAS could easily be made up.

And if the government was truly serious about reducing spending on pensions, it could start by cutting back on the exceedingly rich pension plan for Members of Parliament.

How about, for example, forcing them to wait an extra two full years before they’re eligible to collect?

If the age for OAS is raised, it would effectively turn back the clock in Canada and send a signal that our nation’s seniors are not valued.

The first old age pension legislation in Canada was introduced in 1927 and covered people 70 years of age and older. But because eligibility was based on an income means test, most Canadian seniors didn’t qualify, and had to rely on their families for support. In 1952, the Old Age pension was made universal, but it still only applied to people aged 70 and older. It wasn’t until relatively recently that the age of eligibility was lowered to 65 - and it was phased in over a five-year period from 1965 to 1969.

Raising the age of eligibility for the OAS would be a regressive and cynical move that will hurt a sector of society that deserves better treatment.

Money-losing STC an odd fit If there is a newfound entrepreneurial spirit in our “new Saskatchewan”, it arrived in rural Saskatchewan long before it arrived elsewhere.

In fact, much of the political fight the past four, five or even six decades has been over this issue.

For years now, the NDP have talked about the province being founded by the co-operative spirit that included the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, the credit unions, the local co-op stores and – to a large extent – the rise of publicly owned Crown corporations advanced by a social democratic government. This is true, but it surely isn’t the entire Saskatchewan story.

At best, it is half the story and, arguably, the half that’s less applicable in today’s rural Saskatchewan.

Long before anyone talked about it or even noticed it was happening, an entrepreneurial change was already overtaking rural Saskatchewan. Like all change, it wasn’t easy – especially because it was change forced upon rural people under economic circumstances. But rural life has always been about adapting and changing.

The rural way of life of our grandparents – the small quarter- and halfsection farms that made way for a country school every few miles and a town or village with a grain elevator every nine miles was the first victim of that change.

Farmers that survived were the ones that grew when farm expenses began to out-distance the increases in wheat prices. And those that adjusted wheat to canola and pulse crops or from threshing machines to combines were the ones that survived. Inland terminals replaced grain elevators and many of the communities where the elevator was their economic centrepiece simply became less viable.

All this can be chalked up to rural Saskatchewan’s willingness to embrace a more entrepreneurial approach – the thing that’s received so much talk since the arrival of Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party government in 2007.

Yet, go to any smaller centre and you will see elements of that old co-operative spirit that carry on to this day.

Yes, the old one-member, onevote Saskatchewan Wheat Pool is

gone – or at least, replaced by the new Viterra that’s now virtually indistinguishable from any other large private company. And yes, Co-op stores and Credit Unions are far more entrepreneurial in the way they do business in this more competitive world. But they still exist, evolving into a different form. And the government-owned Crown utilities and companies that service rural people are arguably more supportive than many others.

It may be a testimonial for what many have suspected for decades in this province: That for all the feuding over whether the co-operative way or the free-enterprise way is better, both have and continue to serve a necessary purpose, co-existing together.

And there is perhaps no better testimonial of this than the Saskatchewan Transportation Company – the

publicly owned bus utility mandated to be unprofitable, yet still supported by rural Saskatchewan and the province as a whole.

Recently, a provincial cabinet order-in-council called for a $9.2-million subsidy for the bus company in 2012 plus an additional $2.3 million in capital grants for fleet renewal, building and technological updates.

Of course, one can always quibble over whether we should be sinking this much money into a bus company that hasn’t made a profit in 35 years.

Certainly, technological investments like free WiFi Internet would seem questionable – even if they produced slight increases in ridership.

But there has been surprisingly little debate in our supposedly moreentrepreneurial new Saskatchewan over subsidizing STC. People obviously still value a service that can ship a combine part as quickly as possible, get an elderly grandmother to her a doctor’s appointment in Regina or Saskatoon or a student back to university.

Even entrepreneurial rural people see the need for an unprofitable public service.

Local schools, artists receive Saskatchewan Arts Board grants

S

chools in Martensville and Warman, and a visual artist from Osler, benefited from grants through the Saskatchewan Arts Board (SAB) this year.

Valley Manor School in Martensville was awarded funding from the SAB at the recent grant deadline.

The school received a $4,815 ArtsSmarts grant to provide students with the opportunity to work with an artist to develop concepts and skills representing objects in a realistic manner.

Warman High School was also awarded funding from the SAB at the recent grant deadline.

The school received an $8,000 ArtsSmarts grant to provide students the opportunity to sculpt or cast clay artworks expressing their cultural heritages and Saskatchewan identities.

ArtsSmarts Saskatchewan offers arts and education grants to schools, artists and community partnerships for innovative projects in any art form that bring K-12 students and professional artists together. This program is offered through a partnership among the Saskatchewan Arts Board, Saskatchewan Ministry of Education and SaskCulture Inc. Osler visual artist Clint Neufeld has been awarded an $11,100 Independent Artists grant from the SAB to produce three full-scale engines and one rear axle, all made from ceramic, and glazed and decorated to reference fine china.

Independent Artists

grants support the creation, development or performance of new work in any art form, professional development for artists and research in the arts.

These grants, in partnership with SaskCulture Inc. and Saskatchewan Lotteries, support the ongoing development of artistic practice in Saskatchewan as well as independent curators and critics in all disciplines.

For the quarter ending December 31, 2011, the Saskatchewan Arts Board awarded 208 grants to individuals and organizations, totaling more

than $1.6 million. Grants support a variety of initiatives, including funding organizations that provide ongoing programs in the arts, the creative work of professional artists, community art projects and the engagement of professional artists to work in schools with students and teachers.

The Arts Board’s mission is to cultivate an environment in which the arts thrive for the benefit of everyone in Saskatchewan. It serves the people of the province through programs and activities designed to build a strong and vibrant arts sector.

More candidates in RM election Mervold elected to council by acclamation in Division 2

M

ore candidates have thrown their hats in the ring for election to the RM of Corman Park council. Voting day is scheduled for Wednesday, February 29.

At the close of nominations on Wednesday, January 25, a total of 19 candidates had filed papers with the RM of Corman Park office in Saskatoon. An unofficial list of candidates released by the office revealed there will be elections in 7 of the 8 new divisions.

The lone candidate to be acclaimed to council is Sherry Mervold, in Division 2 – which represents the Grasswood area south of Saskatoon.

This division is the smallest geographic area, but is the most densely-populated of the newly-realigned electoral divisions.

Candidates had 24 hours to withdraw from the race following the nomination deadline. An official list of candidates was posted on Thursday, January 26.

The election is necessary because of the reduction in the number of electoral divisions from 11 to 8, and the realignment of division boundaries mandated by the provincial Minister of Municipal Affairs last December.

Phase 2 of Warman high-density housing subdivision gets initial approval WARMAN TOWN COUNCIL

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The second phase of the Southlands residential housing development in the southwest part of Warman is likely to get underway this year.

At the Warman Town Council meeting on Monday, January 23, councilors gave first reading to a bylaw to rezone a block of land west of the existing Phase 1 of the Southlands development. The rezoning would allow for the development of single-family residences on narrower lots.

Warman Town Planner Brad Toth explained at the meeting that the second phase was part of the initial concept plan proposed by the developers at the start of the project.

“There are no real surpises,” said Toth. “It’s part of the initial concept plan.”

The land is currently zoned M2-Industrial District.

The bylaw would allow rezoning to R2T-Residential District - the same zoning category which currently covers Phase 1 of the Southlands development.

The Southlands residential district features higherdensity housing.

“There is a 35-foot minimum lot frontage,” noted Toth.

RE-ZONING INDUSTRIAL First reading was also given to a bylaw that would allow rezoning of two lots in Warman’s industrial area

from heavy indsutrial (M2) to light industrial (M1).

The lots - 501 Neufeld Street and 511 Industrial Road - are immediately north of the Southlands residential district. Toth noted the “downzoning” is considered beneficial given its proximity to the newly-developing residential neighbourhood.

ROCKWOOD AREA First reading was given for a bylaw allowing rezoning of land for a proposed Rockwood Stage 3 residential neighbourhood in the north end of Warman.

Council had previously approved the subdivision, and the bylaw will allow the land to be rezoned from UH- Urban Holding District to R2 Residential District. The new neighbourhood would consist of single-family residences.

DAYCARE LICENSES Daycare centres in Warman will no longer be licensed by the town office.

Town council decided at its January 23 meeting that the challenges involved in licensing and regulating childcare centres are beyond the scope of the municipality.

A bylaw was adopted to amend the town’s business bylaw, which would stop the necessity of issuing licenses to daycares in town.

Warman Town Planner Brad Toth expained that the move brings Warman into line with the existing regulations in Martensville and Saskatoon.

“It’s pretty well impossiblee to catch all the home-run businesses that are daycares, he said. “Providing licenses to daycare centres may potentially open us up to liability issues if the town does not follow up with inspections and background checks,” he noted. “To stay consistent with the region, particularly with Saskatoon and Martensville, it’s recommended that licensing be discontinued.”

Daycare centres may be licensed by the provincial government.

In Saskatchewan, the Early Learning and Child Care Branch licenses all child care centres.

According to the provincial government, individuals caring for children in the

child’s residence or in the caregiver’s home do not require a licence from ELCC. However, many individuals who provide child care services in their home choose to become licensed as family child care home providers.

Licensed centres and family child care homes meet and maintain specific standards stated in The Child Care Act and The Child Care Regulations. They are monitored

by Early Learning and Child Care Consultants and have their licence reviewed annually. Unlicensed caregivers are not monitored by the Ministry and are not subject to many legal requirements. Municipal governments may require a person operating a child care service to have a business li-

cence, however, this licence does not provide an indication

of the quality of child care provided.

SaskTel warns of e-mail scam SaskTel is warning customers of a fake security email that could potentially compromise their accounts and leave them open to identity theft.

Andy Tate, Media Relations Manager with the company, says some SaskTel customers are receiving scam e-mails from a third party purporting to be SaskTel. The e-mails are similar to the following: “From: SaskTel Subject: You have 1 new Security message from SaskTel. https://webmail.sasktel.net/ magnum/themes/brand-

ing/2370/index.html” Tate said these e-mails are not legitimate SaskTel emails.

“If customers click on the link in the e-mail they are taken to a fake log-in page that looks nearly identical to the official SakTel.net e-mail account log-in page,” he explained. “If the customer attempts to log in, this page could enable criminals to harvest their user name and password information and could result in identity theft.” He recommended that the fake emails be deleted and customers contact SaskTel.

Several injuries in weekend accidents A

series of accidents over the weekend kept emergency personnel busy.

On Saturday, January 28 at about 5:00 pm, three people were injured in a crash at the intersection of Wanuskewin Road and Highway 11.

MD Ambulance personnel transported the driver of a small car, a 27 year-old female, who was trapped inside the vehicle. She was extricated by firefighters.

A 34-year old woman and a 9-year old girl who were in a minivan were also injured in the collision.

“This was a high-speed

crash, which could have been fatal,” said MD Ambulance spokesperson Troy Davies.

“Luckily, all three patients who were transported from the scene were all in stable condition.”

SECOND CRASH IN TWO DAYS AT SAME PLACE Twenty-three hours later, Warman RCMP officers, MD Ambulance and fire personnel responded to another accident at the same intersection.

According to Warman RCMP Sergeant Warren Gherasim, a two-vehicle collision at the intersection resulted in injuries to two teenagers

and three adults. All five accident victims were transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The accident took place at about 4:00 pm on Sunday, Jan. 29.

Gherasim said the police investigation revealed that a southwest-bound Jeep Liberty on Highway 11 was struck by a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am, which was crossing the highway in a northbound direction.

The Pontiac Grand Am was driven by a 37-year old male from Martensville.

The Jeep Liberty had three passengers including a 65-year old woman from Melfort and

two teenage girls, aged 16 and 14, from Saskatoon.

Charges of failing to yield at the intersection are forthcoming against the driver of the Pontiac Grand Am. Alcohol was not a factor in the accident.

ACCIDENT IN WARMAN Warman RCMP also responded to an accident that took place in Warman at about 10:15 am on Sunday, Jan. 29.

The accident occurred at the railway tracks on Central Street near the access to Highway 11. A car driven by a 16year old female collided with the railway crossing lights.

The police investigation re-

vealed that the eastbound Pontiac Sunfire struck the standard that holds the railway crossing and knocked the standard down over the tracks. CN Rail was immediately notified and train service was not disrupted.

The driver was the lone occupant of the vehicle and was found displaying symptoms of alcohol consumption. She was arrested by police and read a breath demand, which she refused. She was not injured.

There were no other vehicles involved.

The girl, a Saskatoon resident, was released by police on a promise to appear in court on charges of Refusing a Breath Demand, Impaired Driving, Driving without Due Care and Attention, and Driving Contrary to License Conditions.

She is scheduled to appear in Saskatoon Youth Court on March 14. She cannot be identified due to her age, pursuant to the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

ILTA Grain looking to build pulse processing plant

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A

British Columbia-based company is looking to build a $15 million specialty grain and pulse processing plant near the Cory potash mine southwest of Saskatoon.

ILTA Grain, owned by Dan Burneski and Gerald Donkersgoed of Surrey, BC, wants to build a plant which would process between 200 thousand and 225 thousand tonnes of product and employ 15 people. The project still requires discretionary

use approval from the RM of Corman Park council. If the RM endorses the application, the plant could be in operation by next year.

The RM council is expected to rule on the company’s application at its next meeting, scheduled for February 13.

The proposed processing facility is one of two on the drawing board for ILTA Grain. The other plant would be constucted in Regina.

The new processing plants are part of an aggressive expansion program for ILTA Grain. The company recently purchased four specialty

grain and pulse facilities in North Battleford, Swift Current and Cut Knife from Parkland Pulse Grain.

ILTA Grain applied to the RM’s District Planning Commission last month to build an “agricultural support service

facility” on a parcel of land bordered by Highway 7 to the south and east, the CN Rail line to the north, and Range Road 3065 to the west.

Bethany College Youth Advance focuses on the Real Thing ing a challenge for attendees to find reality in their world, based on the theme verse for the weekend: John 1:4, “The Word gave life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone”.

Kevin is an alumnus of Bethany College, and is currently the Youth Pastor at Coast Hills Community Church in Surrey, BC. YA is more than just a youth retreat, however; it is an opportunity for students to be drawn closer to Jesus through the unique culture at Bethany College.

Each year, Bethany’s drama department prepares a production for the “retreaters” (who are lovingly referred to as “advancers” at Bethany), but this year, will be presenting two incredible performances – “Cotton Patch Gospel” (encore of Fall Theatre) & “The Gospel According to Jessica”.

Cream of Cauliflower Soup Vanessa Janzen 1 tbsp olive oil 1 cup celery, diced 1 cup diced onions 2 cups potatoes, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 2/3 cups carrots, shredded 6 cups water 1 cup cashews, raw 2 tsps salt 4 cups water 1/2 cup chicken style seasoning 1 ½ cups fresh cauliflower, chopped 2 tblsps fresh parsley 1 cup frozen or fresh peas 1 tsp onion powder In a 4 quart pot, sauté onions & garlic in olive oil until clear. Add 6 cups water, seasonings, parsley, celery, carrots & bring to a boil. (optional): My children like it if I puree the vegetable mixture with the next step. Place cashews & 2 cups water in a blender & blend until creamy & smooth. (very important to blend long enough, otherwise it will be gritty.) Add blended mixture, remaining water, potatoes, cauliflower & peas to soup stock & bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat & cook until vegetables are as tender as you like them.

Beware of phone-generated computer anti-virus scam

S

hould someone call you claiming to be able to protect your computer from viruses, your best bet is to just hang up the phone.

Don’t give the caller your computer access codes and don’t provide your credit card information.

The virus scam has grown to epidemic proportions in Canada, now accounting for between 70 and 80 per cent of frauds reported daily to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC). “We began noticing virus scam calls in March 2010. Since then, they’ve become an increasing proportion of our calls. Now, they’re the scam we deal with most often,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Paul Proulx of the CAFC.

This dramatic increase means the scam is working – more and more Canadians are being targeted by the virus scam. Staff Sgt. Proulx warns, “If a scammer is able to log on to your computer then he has access to all the personal information you have stored there, including your banking information.”

Here’s a typical scenario: a caller, often claiming to work for Microsoft or another reputable software company, will cold-call you and ask if your computer is running slowly or not working as it should.

He will then offer to repair your computer via internet access, which can involve either software installation or the caller gain-

It can then be used to spam other people, spread viruses to your friends or overload computer networks.

Getting your credit card information is the second important part of the virus scam. Once a criminal has that information it can be used to make purchases without your consent.

very February, high school students from across Canada brave the cold, the snow, and the winter wind to make the trip to Hepburn, Saskatchewan – which begs the question: Why? The answer: Bethany College’s Youth Advance (YA)!

Bethany has been hosting students at its annual youth retreat for years, bringing people together to be challenged through dynamic teaching, drama, music, art and loads of fun activities. It is one of the most anticipated annual events at Bethany, both by current students and high schoolers alike.

The theme for YA 2012 is “This is REAL”, and Kevin Snyder, this year’s main session speaker, will be bring-

As well, Bethany’s own House Band will be leading worship throughout the weekend, along with many more exciting activities and opportunities. Matthew Bergen, a third-year student at Bethany, has participated in decorating the Bethany Halls for YA by creating a special art piece highlighting the weekend’s theme.

Over the years that Matt has attended Bethany, this visual art display has grown in size as well as impact! At YA 2011, advancers were treated to a large piece of graffiti art on canvas that hung in the center of the gym wall and as Matt explained it was, “a snapshot of what Jesus’ heart may have looked like on the cross”.

The piece that Matt has produced for YA 2012 is almost twice as large as last years, and like all of Matt’s graffiti, “goes out to my best friend – Jesus”.

As to not spoil the surprise for the advancers, suffice it to say that this piece will not only impact those around by it’s sheer size – it also contains a powerful message from John 1:4.

If you have the opportunity to attend, both wall hangings will be on display throughout the weekend.

“This is REAL” (YA 2012) begins Friday, February 3 and ends Sunday, February 5.

Celebration plans underway for 50th anniversary of Clavet School

By PAT PECKOVER peckpatr@uregina.ca

D

id you go to Clavet School? Anytime? If so, then the 50th anniversary committee wants to hear from you.

Clavet Composite School is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary this spring and the organizing committee wants all former students and staff to attend the event.

The celebration will take place April 20-21 at the school.

The first day will be for the current students, although there will be a community breakfast that day.

April 21 will be for alumni and will feature school tours, display tables for each decade, the current school band will play some ‘60s music, and there will be a formal program celebrating the school, explained Kathy Maki, one of the organizers.

The organizers aren’t planning any events for the evening, but are encouraging classes to plan their own events.

“The one class is already planning a supper,” she explained. “The school will be open if people want to meet there.”

As well, the current stu-

dents and staff are collecting items for a time capsule which will be placed either in the school or on the school grounds.

“We want people to get excited about this event. And we want them to come,” Maki said.

The school, which cost a total of $435,000 to build, was constructed in 1961 and opened in the fall of 1962 for Grade 1 to 9 students, she explained.

Work on the high school portion continued throughout the year and the first high school students entered in the fall of 1963, Maki added. The 1964 graduating class, the very first for the school, had six students. The entire school had a student population of 444 that year, she noted.

Twenty-two rural schools joined together to create the new school, Maki explained.

Clavet didn’t have a school until then.

The school underwent extensive renovations in 1987-88, including the addition of the second gymnasium, she noted.

The organizing committee started planning last year and have been meeting on a regular basis since school started in the fall, Maki said. They’ve created a web page and a Facebook page, thanks to the help

Warman RCMP investigate accidents, property crimes Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Acting Commander Warman RCMP Detachment

DRIVING OFFENCES In the past week Warman RCMP have responded to 7 motor vehicle collisions, 2 of which involved injuries and one of which was a fatal collision.

On January 27 at approximately 11:55 a.m. a single vehicle left the roadway and entered the ditch on highway 7, west of Delisle. The driver of that vehicle was deceased at the scene and the matter is under investigation. The matter is also being investigated by the Coroner’s Office. The cause of the collision is as of yet unknown, however, possible medical causes have not yet been ruled out.

In three of the seven collisions this past week, police have laid charges.

In a collision on Highway 16, near Langham on January 25, which resulted in some minor injuries, a 23 year old Alberta man was charged for driving at a speed which is greater than reasonable and safe contrary to the Traffic

of parent Roger Dilsner.

“He’s done a marvellous job,” Maki said.

Right now, the committee is trying to contact as many former students and staff as possible, Maki said.

“We’ve tried to find one contact person from each class and asked them to contact their peers,” she explained.

“But we’re trying to get the word out to more people.”

So far, all of the original six graduates are planning to come back for the celebration, Maki said. That includes Irvin Heuchert, the first Student Representative Council (SRC) president, who still lives in the community.

“He went here, his children went here, and now some of his grandchildren are students here,” Maki noted.

The committee is also looking for items to display during the celebration.

“We encourage people to look in their attics or their basements for stuff from the school,” Maki said. “We’re looking for any items that relate to the school like that old football jacket or pictures of students and activities.”

The committee also hopes to have their first inductee for a Wall of Honour at the school, Maki said.

“We’re asking alumni to nominate people from the school who have excelled in their chosen field. It can be anyone who has done something exceptional in any walk of life,” she explained. “We want as many nominees as

possible.”

More details of the event will be posted on the web page as they are finalized.

The committee hopes to have a number of nominations in by the beginning of April in order to make their selections

ILTA EXPANSION Continued from Page 9 While the planning commission initially recommended approval of the project, a number of ratepayers who own land in the area raised objections to the proposal at the RM council’s meeting on January 9. A subsequent meeting January 17 organized by the RM planning department brought together company officials and ratepayers.

At the RM council meeting January 23, an update on details related to the application was provided to councilors. It was noted that Range Road 3065 would need to be upgraded to Grid Road standard in order to accommodate the anticipated 20-25 round trips by B-train trucks hauling grain to and from the facility.

Hauling activities were recommended to be limited to Range Road 3065 between Highways 7 and 14, and trucks would be restricted to speeds of 60 to 80 kilometers per hour.

In addition, an approach to the property from Range Road 3064 would be removed to ensure that the only access is from Range Road 3065. A short rail spur connecting the plant to the CN Rail mainline would be built, with dust and noise control mechanisms incorporated into the processing plant.

Many aspects will also be addressed as part of the anticipated servicing agreement if approval for the project is granted by the RM council.

Councilor Joe Kasahoff said he believes the proposed processing plant will benefit area farmers.

“We need these types of facilities,” said Kasahoff during the January 23 meeting. “Right now we have to haul our peas or lentils to Nipawin or Rosetown. This facility would be of great value to this area.”

Safety Act. The same charge was laid against a 35 year old Dalmeny man in a separate collision near Martensville on January 23.

In a separate collision on January 25, a 23 year old Yorkton woman was charged for driving without a valid licence after becoming involved in a collision on Highway 14, west of Asquith.

PROPERTY CRIME A theft was reported on January 25 where a rural resident southwest of Warman reported that an older CASE Bobcat, yellow in color, as well as a ten foot dozer blade was stolen from his property.

The CASE Bobcat is not in running condition. The bobcat has a dozer blade which is built with a heavy steel construction frame and a John Deere green hydraulic jack on it.

On January 25 a Radisson resident reported that their 2005 Dodge Dakota truck, red in colour, was stolen from their driveway during the early morning hours between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. from

elcome to the big leagues. The Warman Wildcats debut at the Legends Centre last Friday drew the biggest crowd of the regular season so far.

But even the 8-4 loss suffered at the hands of the visiting Prairie Outlaws didn’t seem to put much of a damper on an otherwise historic occasion.

“It was exciting,” said Wildcats’ captain Doug Harms after the game. “The guys were really excited to play in the new rink. It’s a bigger facility, and a nice atmosphere, for sure. It felt like a bigger game. It kind of felt like we were playing in the big league. It was quite a change from the little barn.”

The size of the crowd also made a difference, said Harms. “It was real nice to see all the people in the stands. We really appreciate the fan support, and we’re hoping they come out for the playoffs too.”

Although technically the home team, the Wildcats’ first game in the 1,500seat Legends Centre meant they were just as unfamiliar with the surroundings as the visiting Outlaws. Aside from the normal big-rink amenities like bright lights, crystal-clear sound and giant four-sided score clock hanging over center ice, the biggest adjustment for the players was the larger ice surface.

AWESTRUCK The smooth-skating, high-scoring Prairie Outlaws wasted little time lighting up the lamp and, by the end of the first period, had posted four unanswered goals and were outshooting the Wildcats by a threeto-one margin. The hometeam finally settled into their new surroundings by the start of the second period and matched the Outlaws in scoring, but by then it was already too big a hole to climb out of.

“The ice surface is a lot bigger than the old rink so it took a while to adjust to it,”

Executive Assistant

Your Your Local Local Bedroom Bedroom Community Community Realtors Realtors

noted Harms. “It showed on the scoreboard after the first period. But for the rest of the game I think we played with them pretty well.”

Bret Peppler (the FCHL’s leading scorer) accounted for most of the Outlaws’ scoring, racking up five goals. Tory Stott, Jordan Menke and Drew McDermott recorded singles for the Outlaws. Brett Hesterman, Doug Harms, Cory Perkin and Riley Ethier replied for the Wildcats.

Brock Hansen started in goal for the Wildcats but was pulled early in the second period and replaced by Deny Baron. Together they stopped 30 shots, while Outlaws goaltender Brendan Schultz blocked 29.

Harms admitted the Wildcats have struggled with their goaltending over the season and said injuries and inexperience have also played a role.

“We have a young team overall,” he noted. “And sometimes we make mistakes. Other teams have a little bit higher skill level than us and they make us

pay for those little mistakes.

I thought our guys played good tonight. There were a couple bad bounces that didn’t go our way, but that happens in every game.”

PLAYOFF PICTURE With only one game left in the regular season – a crucial matchup on the road against the Tisdale Ramblers on Saturday, February 4 – the Wildcats are gearing up to see who they play in the first round next week.

The playoff pairings won’t be determined until the final games, because of the tight race between Warman, Dalmeny, Hague and Tisdale in the standings. It’s also close between two top teams in the league, Rosthern and Prairie, as well as the third and fourth place teams, Shellbrook and Bruno.

All teams in the Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) will be playing in the post-season, since the struggling Beardy’s Blackhawks folded last week – reContinued on Page 18 Please see WILDCATS

Saskatoon Blades, RCMP team up to tell students about the dangers of drugs

By PAT PECKOVER peckpatr@uregina.ca

I

f we can change the decision of one or two kids then we’ve made a difference. Those were the words of wisdom delivered by Locke Muller and Jake Trask of the Saskatoon Blades after a drug presentation at Aberdeen School on January 23.

The two young hock-

WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE Get stories like this plus more photos before anyone else! Breaking news as it happens online for free at: www.ccgazette.ca

ey players teamed up with RCMP Sgt. James Dalton of the Saskatoon Integrated Drug Unit (SIDU) to give the students some insight into how the choices they make have consequences for the future.

Trask and Muller are two of the many Western Hockey League (WHL) players that take a police-guided tour of East Hastings Street in Vancouver — one of the most druginfested neighbourhoods in the country.

Taken in hand by members of The Odd Squad, a number of Vancouver police who formed their own production company to film their neighbourhood and educate people about drug abuse, the hockey players are given a closeup and gritty look at the consequences of drug abuse. In turn, they go back to their communities and share those lessons with students.

According to Dalton, the whole point of drug education in schools is to help the students understand the consequences of their decisions.

“That’s what it will come down to — your decision,” he told the students. “I’m just here to make sure you have some facts when you make those decision.”

What Dalton emphasized was that all drug addicts start with smoking pot and drinking, what he called “gateway drugs.”

“No one makes the choice to become an addict,” he said.

“It all results from one or a couple bad decisions,” he explained.

The students watched

a video showing the real residents of East Hastings Street; the drug addicts and homeless people who will do anything for their next fix. The documentary shows drug use, both smoking and needles. It also showed the reactions of the hockey players to what they saw during their tour of the street. According to Trask, the approximately 12 square blocks of the Vancouver area has about 6,00 hard core drug addicts in it. What it looks like is something that has to be seen to be believed.

“I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the movie “Zombieland”, but that’s exactly what it was like,” Trask explained to the students. “Everyone is thin and sick looking and they just don’t look well. When we walked down the alleys, people are huddled everywhere and that’s where they live.”

The smell of the area is something that Muller will never forget.

“It’s heavy, musty,” he said. “These people have no hygiene. We went to one hotel where people stay and I will never forget the living conditions. The rooms are closet-sized and you can’t see the floor and you can just imagine the disease and the rats and the roaches down there.”

The HIV rate in the area is 13-14 per cent and the hepatitis rate is 80 per cent, Trask said they were told.

Of all the people they talked to during their tour, the addicts all told them to never try drugs and to never come there. They also encouraged the hockey players to share what they saw with students to help them from making bad decisions.

“One guy I talked to, he just tried drugs one time at 18 and he will never get his life

MAKING SMART CHOICES Jake Trask (left) and Locke Muller of the Saskatoon Blades spoke about the effects of drugs to the Grade 7-10 students at Aberdeen School on January 23. The two hockey players, along with RCMP Sgt. James Dalton of the Saskatoon Integrated Drug Unit, was at the school to talk to the students about the consequences of the choices they may make when faced with drugs.

back,” Muller said. “They all hate their lives down there.

“It takes just one choice and your life is changed,” Trask said. “Our choice, our high is to go out and score a goal. That’s fun. Our goal is the NHL. That’s the choice we’ve made. It’s important to have your own goals.”

Trask and Muller warned the students that they will have to make a choice about drugs because at some point, if they haven’t already faced it, they will have to decide whether or not to try drugs.

“It’s important to have a plan and practice it,” Trask stated. “Don’t say maybe, just have a plan ready to go.”

Muller also suggested that the students surround themselves with people who will support them and who they can talk to.

Dalton agreed, reminding the students that every one of them is different and they have no idea how any drug will affect them.

“You don’t know what you’re getting and you don’t know what will happen,” Dalton said.

Dalton specifically warned

the students about Ecstasy, informing them that a new type has led to several overdoses in B.C. and Alberta.

“It’s designed for you, for your age group,” he stated.

“It’s meant to be popular and they (the drug dealers) want to get you. At this age, they have another 10 years where they can make money off you.

You’re just a pay cheque to these guys.”

Dalton reminded the students that they will have to make a choice about drugs.

“It’s a choice you guys are gong to have to make sooner or later. There are a lot of drugs around. Aberdeen is no different than anywhere else.”

Delisle Chiefs roll over opposition

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

he Delisle Chiefs came from behind to down the visiting Saskatoon Quakers 8-5 in Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) action last Sunday.

The win made it 17 in a row for the second-place Chiefs, who are now breathing down the necks of the divisionleading Saskatoon Royals.

Unable to generate much offense in the opening period, the Chiefs relied heavily on their number one goaltender, Cam Irwin, to keep them in the game.

The Quakers jumped out to a 2-1 lead midway through the second period, and seemed on the verge of sealing the deal early when they added two quick goals in the final minute of the middle frame to make it 4-1.

But Eric Ditto’s goal with 1.5 seconds left in the period was a game changer. The Chiefs’ leading scorer found a way to shift the momentum back the other way.

Charging out of the gate in the third period, the Chiefs added two more goals in the first three minutes to tie things up. Another three goals quickly followed, and all of a sudden the Chiefs led 7-4.

The Quakers applied pressure and generated one more goal with three minutes to go

in the game, but ended up surrendering an empty-netter in the final few seconds.

Delisle Chiefs’ captain Russ Schneider and his linemate Eric Ditto led the way for the home team with a goal and a pair of assists each. Jesse Osika, Marshall Siemens, Mitch McNally and Carter Yuzdepski, Brett Pisio and Andre Lalonde rounded out the scoring for the Chiefs.

The Quakers markers came from Jesse Klus, Stefan Serak (2), and Riley Pikor.

The slow start wasn’t part of the Chiefs’ game plan, and it took a while to get things clicking, noted head coach Dave Norris.

“The Quakers play a very defenisve style of game, and rely heavily on the neutral zone trap, so it’s tough to get any flow going,” said Norris.

“And it seemed like we had ‘Sunday afternoon hands’ for a while and couldn’t make any nice passes to break out of our own zone.”

But Ditto’s last-second goal at the end of the second period was “huge,” Norris noted. “When you get within two goals, most teams believe the next goal wins, and you get momentum on your side.

That’s what happened for us.”

Norris said the team is hungry for the division pennant, and is determined to keep their winning streak going. “If we stay on this roll, then we could take first place because technically we have a better win-loss record against the Royals,” he said.

Russ Schneider agreed the last second goal at the end of the second period marked the

turning point in the game.

“We started out slow, but we had a good chat between the second and third periods,” Schneider said. “We just decided we were going to turn it around and take it to them. We’re on a long winning streak and we want to keep it going.”

Schneider credited the chemistry in the locker room and on the ice for the team’s success.

“I’ve never been on a team that’s won 17 in a row before,” he said. “It’s a great experience for everyone. We’re having a lot of fun right now.”

He said some players have their own superstitious rituals they’re going through before every game to try and preserve the winning streak, but he declined to elaborate.

“We don’t talk about it too much,” he said with a grin.

“We don’t want to jinx it.”

Schneider said having Cam Irwin in net gives the team an extra boost of confidence.

“I can’t say enough about Cam’s play,” he said. “He’s been our Number One guy all year. We never worry when the puck is in our end.

He’s going to make those stops, and he’s always come through in a lot of big games for us.”

The Chiefs have a return engagement with the Quakers at Harold Latrace Arena in Saskatoon on Thursday, February 2 at 7:45 pm.

The Chiefs’ next home game is Saturday, February 4 when they host the visiting Saskatoon Westleys. Game time is 7:30 pm.

Warman Midget AA Wildcats gear up for playoff run

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

D

espite falling 7-5 to the visiting Unity Lazers at home last weekend, the Warman Wildcats AA Midget hockey team are in good shape heading into the final stretch of the regular season, according to head coach Todd Dyck.

“The boys have been playing good hockey lately,” said Dyck in an interview after the game in Warman Saturday night. “They’ve had four ties in a row, so we were on a bit of

a roll up until tonight.”

Down 7-4 with less than thirty seconds to go in the game, the Wildcats staged a comeback to record a goal with less than thirty seconds to go. They came close on a couple more chances in the dying seconds, but weren’t able to pull off an upset.

“If we had another ten minutes or so, we probably could have come back and tied it or won it,” noted Dyck. “But we just ran out of time. We had some crucial errors earlier in the game and they cap-

italized on them. That’s just the way it goes sometimes.”

Carson Kalyn accounted for three of Warman’s goals, while Dallin Graham and Jordan Fiddler notched singles.

Jessey Pocock had a hat trick for Unity, while Rhys Kipling had two goals and singles came from Thomas Dulhaime and Mark Ganter.

Currently in the middle of the tightly-packed standings, Dyck said every point from here on in is very important for determining the final playoff spots in the league.

The Wildcats have four more games left in the regular season – two at home and two on the road.

Dyck said he’s confident the team can make a strong playoff run. “The kids have really bonded as a team and they’re working hard,” he said. “I’ve seen a tremendous amount of improvement in the players from last year. It’s a good team – they don’t get down on themselves after a loss. They’re good friends and it’s been a great experience.”

The team draws play-

ers from a wide geographical area, including Warman, Viscount Shellbrook, Marcelin, Clavet, Langham and Aberdeen. Dyck says while five of the players will graduate to the junior ranks next year, there could also be several who make the jump to Triple A teams as well.

“I’m hoping they all come back next year, but I’m also looking forward to seeing some of them step up to Triple A,” he said. “So I think next year will probably be another rebuilding year for the team.”

Dyck said the Double A program is very important not just for helping talented players develop their hockey skills,

12015MC00

but also for encouraging teamwork and helping the players mature as young adults.

“As a coach, it’s kind of sad to see the end of February and early March roll around, when the season ends,” he said. “Everyone bonds as a team and the players and coaching staff become really good friends.”

The Midget AA Wildcats next home game is Saturday, February 4 when they host Lloydminster at Diamond Arena. Game time is 6:15 pm.

Their final home game of the regular season is Friday, February 24, when they play host to Meadow Lake at the new Legends Centre. Game time is 7:30 pm.

RCMP REPORT

Continued from Page 11

William Street. The vehicle had very little gas in the tank. The vehicle has not yet been recovered. Police are seeking any information as to the identity of the thief or any suspicious persons who may have been in the area at the time.

TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT Traffic enforcement activities this week resulted in 9 charges for a variety of provincial driving offences. Three charges of violations of the Alcohol and Gaming Regulations Act were also laid, and one 24 hour driving suspension was issued to a motorist after a

roadside screening test was administered.

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.

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN Lady Luck smiles on you, Capricorn, and life takes a turn for the better. Connections are made, and a last-ditch effort to save a project works!

AQUARIUS You re invited to take part in an event. Don t dismiss the importance of preparation. The more tricks you have up your sleeve, the better impression you ll make, Aquarius.

PISCES Smile, Pisces. Good news is headed your way. The pace picks up at work. Get a move on or prepare to pass the reins to someone else.

ARIES A break in the action gives you the opportunity to reconnect with a loved one. Look for something fun the two of you can do together, Aries.

heart is close to a goal. Do what you can to put it over the top. A film leads the way!

LIBRA Nonsense, Libra. You have the know-how to see the project through, so take the leap. The rewards will more than compensate for the time put into it. An auto issue persists.

SCORPIO It s time you took the bull by the horns and ended the madness at home, Scorpio. There is too much at stake for you to just let it slide.

SAGITTARIUS Change can be good, Sagittarius, so don t buck the tide.

Go with the flow, and you will be pleasantly surprised where it takes you. An interest is revived.

Beetle battle cranked WILDCATS up in Saskatchewan Continued from Page 12

The Ministry of Environment has extended a contract for mountain pine beetle surveys due to a higher than expected number of infested trees found in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park.

Great Western Forestry Ltd. is contracted to survey for mountain pine beetle in the boreal forest in northwestern Saskatchewan and in Cypress Hills.

The surveys in the northwest took place September 19, with no mountain pine beetles detected.

However, the known infestation in the Cypress Hills affected more trees than expected. The contract extension will allow completion of work to verify all infested trees and to mark them for removal.

“Insect and disease surveys provide critical information to plan an effective and timely response, in co-operation with other jurisdictions,” Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. “In the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, a unique landscape we share with Alberta, the extended contract will ensure that all needed work can be completed.”

An additional $100,000 has been approved to complete the surveys by March 31, 2012, bringing total mountain pine beetle surveillance costs to $300,000 this year.

ducing the number of squads in the league from 9 to 8. All of the Blackhawks’ games for the season have been revised and have been awarded as 1-0 victories for their opponents. The playoff match-ups, dates and locations are posted on the FCHL website (www. fchl.ca).

BUILDING MOMENTUM Harms said the team is hoping to finish the regular season on a strong note and gain momentum going into the playoffs.

“We just need to do the little things right,” he said. “We know we can play fiveon-five with teams of this caliber. We just have to take advantage of our scoring opportunities, and limit our mistakes.

We want to be playing to the best of our ability against whichever one of the top teams we go up against in playoffs.”

Asked whether the Wildcats would like to become permanent tenants of the Legends Centre instead of occasional visitors in their hometown, Harms said there is a possibility the team could play in the big rink next season.

“It’s an opportunity,” he said. “On the one hand it’s more money, so that would mean more fundraising for the guys and we would need to find more sponsorships and volunteers. On the other hand, it’s a nice atmosphere, it’s a lot of fun, and it attracts bigger crowds.”

BORDEN & DISTRICT News

By LORRAINE OLINYK lolinyk@sasktel.net

The future planning meeting at Radisson on February 15th, at 6:30 p.m. in Radisson Hall, is not for the general public as noted in last week’s paper. This meeting is for administrators and council members only. Misinformation was given to the papers and hope nobody was inconvenienced by the info.

BORDEN FRIENDSHIP CLUB

Borden Friendship Club held their monthly potluck supper on January 25th in the club room and over 30 were on hand to sing Happy Birthday to Elizabeth Derksen, Gladys Wensley and Lorraine Olinyk, January celebrants, and the cake was baked by Helen Sutherland. A gift certificate was presented to Gary Palmer for always putting on the coffee and setting up and taking down the tables and chairs for coffee time while the local cafe was closed. A reading on humorous church bloopers was read by Lorraine and Helen Sutherland read some notable quotes by famous people.

Entertaining for the evening was Gayle Wensley and her troupe from the United Church – Pam, Robynn, Emma & Danika Pidwerbeksy and Jesse Wensley.

Gayle played guitar or piano for the action songs Know That God is Good, Turn the World Upside Down, We Are Marching(African spiritual) and Butterfly plus a few more.

BABY SHOWER A baby shower was held at the home of Jean & Mel Brooke on Sunday, Janu-

ary 29th, to honour Joshua Sleidrecht, who was born November 26th to Brad and Vanessa who live in Aspen Acres East acreages. After introductions Jean had everyone do two contests, one on Nursery Rhymes and the other on matching baby animals to parents, with the winners receiving Valentines candy or candle. Before she started to open the gifts, Vanessa thanked everyone for coming and for making them feel so welcome in the area.

The gifts were then opened and passed around before everyone enjoyed a light lunch with their coffee or tea.

NEW ANGLICAN MINISTER The celebration of a new minister for the River Valley Anglican Parish, Diocese of Saskatoon, was held at St. John’s Anglican Church in Borden on January 29th, to induct Rev. Debbie Ramage into the Parish. Present were members of the Borden, Maymont and Rosthern Anglican churches, friends of Rev. Debbie’s from Saskatoon, visitors from Borden and the Borden United Church. Presiding over the ceremony was The Rt. Rev. David M. Irving and guest preacher was The Ven. Don Byrt, who preached in the Borden/Maymont/Radisson charge in the 1970’s. Presentation of the symbols of Ministry were done by Tim & Judy Latimer – Bible, Don Brand – vessel of water, Joan Ayres - Anointing oil, Gladys Wensley - Canons of the Diocese; Ray Latimer(Borden), Gladys Kinzel(Rosthern), and Bonnie Milman(Maymont) – Keys of the church; Clive Wensley – Prayer books, Dorothy Buswell and Monty Za-

dorozny – Bread and wine.

The organist was Linda Hosegood, scriptures were read by Ann Brand, Don Brand and Rev. Debbie Ramage and the churchwardens of the Parish did the Covenant of Ministry.

The celebration of the Eucharist was performed by Bishop David Irving and Rev. Debbie Ramage, the blessing by Bishop Irving, recessional hymn To God Be the Glory was sung and Rev. Debbie Ramage gave the Dismissal, followed by everyone enjoying lunch and fellowship in the lower hall of the church.

At the lunch, Rev. Byrt auctioned off a Rider hat & scarf that he had bought at a fundraiser January 28th and the money goes to help build houses in Baja, Mexico, where the Bishop’s wife, Joan Irving, is going to help with the project.

BANTAM PROVINICIALS The Delisle Bruins Bantam Tier ll are in Provincials and their first game was January 28th in Delisle, when they beat Kindersley 11 – 0, but what a scrappy game with many players in the penalty box all evening. Playing for Delisle are 3 Sutherlands from Borden – Cole, Cullen and Duncan(my grandson), and their next game is in Kindersley on January 30th.

Bethany Eagles alumni basketball challenge tournament strengthens college ties

By WES ENNS Athletic & Recreation Director Bethany College

A

l McGuire, Basketball Hall of Fame coach, once said, “Keep it simple. When you get too complex, you forget the obvious.”

Of course, when he said this, he was referring to team play on the basketball court, but these wise words can also be applied to what occurred on Saturday, January 21 in the gym at Bethany College.

This past weekend, the Bethany Eagles Men’s basketball squad played a friendly – yet hotly contested – game against a group of Bethany College Alumni from Saskatoon.

It was a simple affair: two teams, two refs, and some devoted fans, encouraging Bethany’s former and current athletes.

There wasn’t much that was complicated about the game.

The Eagles took an early lead, running and gunning their way to a spread of up to nine points in the early stages of the first quarter.

But the Alumni, not to be outdone, switched to a zone defence, and fought their way back into the match. Speed, finesse, power, and skill were exhibited by both teams, drawing the crowd into the contest as each minute passed.

In the last few minutes, it became obvious that, as in any great basketball game, the winners would be deter-

mined in the final seconds of regulation time. This time, victory went to the Bethany Alumni team, who squeaked by the Eagles by one point to hold on until the buzzer sounded. Final score: 77-76.

It was a simple game, and in keeping it simple, the ob-

vious was not forgotten. To anyone who was privy to the excitement, enthusiasm, encouragement, and enjoyment of that night, it became obvious very quickly that this was a celebration of the love of the game of basketball, of healthy competition, and of Bethany’s

involvement in the lives of its students – both past and present.

The next Alumni versus

Eagles sporting events will be held on the Annual Alumni Soccer and Hockey Tournament Weekend on Feb. 24-25,

2012. For information on this and all our Bethany Eagles sporting events, visit: www. bethany.sk.ca.

Warman, Osler, Delisle finish out of medals at Cougar Classic

By PAT PECKOVER peckpatr@uregina.ca

T

he 36th annual Cougar Classic ‘12 held January 27-28 at Clavet Composite School saw some of the best senior boys’ basketball teams in the province face off in what could be previews of the provincial playoffs.

Teams from Clavet, Delisle, Moose Jaw, Birch Hills, Warman, Osler, Balcarres, and Saskatoon competed in the two-day tournament.

CLAVET VS DELISLE First on the court was the home-town team facing off against the Delisle Rebels.

The Cougars jumped out to a fivepoint lead before the Rebels got on the scoreboard, and Clavet never looked back. The Cougars led 20-9 at the end of the first quarter and were up 47-1 at half. The Clavet defence kept the Rebels outside the key at both ends of the court, forcing them to make long shots and controlling the rebounds at both ends. The Rebels managed some penetration of the Cougar defence in the second half, but couldn’t close the gap, missing more shots than they made.

The Cougars led 68-26 at the end of the third quarter and finished the game up 8040.

“Clavet has the best team in the province in 3A,” said Rebel coach Nathaniel Danielson after the game. “They do a lot of things well and there’s not a lot of holes in the team.”

As for his own team,

“They worked hard the whole game,” he said.

“They didn’t quit. I’m proud of them,” Danielson said.

Delisle, a 3A team, has played 17 games including five tournaments so far this season and has compiled an 8-9 record.

“We need to work on our scoring,” he said. “We just don’t score consistently.”

Paul McTavish, the Clavet coach was really happy with the way his team played. As with most of the teams at the tournament, they lost a week of practices when the buses didn’t run during the recent cold snap and then lost more time during final exams.

“Yesterday was our first practice in two weeks,” McTa-

vish noted. “We came out with some fire and some energy and that was good to see.”

Clavet has won two tournaments so far this season and has amassed an 11-2 record.

“We’re off to a much better start this year than we had in previous years,” he said.

McTavish attributes the team’s strength to the deep

bench they have this year.

“We can play 10 guys easily,” he explained.

The team does need to work on their half-court offence though.

“At some point in the game, it comes down to if you can execute in the half court,” McTavish explained.

WARMAN VS OSLER Next on the court was the Warman Wolverines facing off against the Valley Christian Academy (VCA) Lions from Osler.

Warman took the lead early in the first quarter, but VCA came back and tied the game at 12, before the Wolverines edged out in front again. The first quarter ended with Warman up 18-14. At half, Warman led 3924, mostly on the strength of their rebounding.

The third quarter saw both teams stealing the ball and capitalizing on the miscues of their opponents.

The two opponents were running fast breaks and quick passes to open up their shooters during the quarter. The half ended with Warman in front 53-44.

The final quarter was a seesaw match that saw the teams trade points, with the Lions edging ever closer.

Warman called a time out with 13 seconds left and holding a one-point lead. The Wolverines couldn’t capitalize on their possession and a last-second drive by Lion Kyle Friesen (9) drew a foul at the buzzer.

Friesen took advantage of the two free throws, sinking them both and giving the Lions a 7372 victory.

“This was a super close game,” said VCA coach Brad Wall after the game. “We’ve played Warman three times this year and each time it’s come down to one shot.”

VCA was also rusty heading

onto the court as they had missed two weeks of practice.

“We had a lot of rust on our legs and on our shooting in the first quarter, but the boys persevered,” Wall said. “We were down almost the whole game, but they didn’t give up.”

The Lions, a 2A team, have had a pretty successful season so far, winning their home tournament and the Rosthern Junior College tournament, he noted.

What this game showed him though was that the team needs to work on their defence.

“We gave up some easy baskets and we were sloppy with our passing,” Wall said.

The strength of the team is the leadership of the Grade 12 players, he noted.

“When some of the younger players get down on themselves, the Grade 12s bring them back,” Wall explained. “It’s a very positive thing to see.”

Wall wasn’t worried about the fact that most of the teams at the conference are 3A or 4A, as they are looking for tough competition.

“We won the bronze medal last year at Provincials and we are hoping to improve on that,” he explained.

Warman coach Matt Misskey was a little disappointed with the result of the game.

“It was very close,” he said. “We had one player foul out and that hurt us. We had lots of chances to win it, but we missed some foul shots.”

The team’s strength was their shooting, especially in the first half, Misskey said.

“We got tired in the second half and missed some shots,” he explained.

As well, VCA shot better in the second half, Misskey noted.

Warman needs to work on their defence, as they were a little bit passive and didn’t chase some rebounds, he said.

The Wolverines are a

young team with only one Grade 12 player, Misskey said.

The team has about a .500 record right now and is looking forward to hosting the 4A Conference tournament this spring.

“We lost in Conferences last year to Bedford Road from Saskatoon, so we’re hoping to do better this year,” he said.

FINAL GAMES The Birch Hills Marauders, a 3A team, then took on the Moose Jaw Cornerstone/ Riverview Falcons. The Marauders won the game 72-50.

The last game of the night saw the Balcarres Bulldogs face the Christian Centre Academy (CCA) Eagles, last

year’s winners of the tournament. The Eagles won the game 85-58.

On Saturday, more of the games were close matches, noted McTavish.

“On the first day, there was really only one really close game, Warman and VCA,” he said. “On Saturday, there were lots of competitive games, which the teams really enjoyed.”

The Falcons defeated Delisle 58-53 in the first game on Saturday, followed by a 72-65 Balcarres win over Warman.

Birch Hills beat Clavet 8177, ending the Cougars hopes of winning their home tournament.

No ground gained after solid January for Blades

G

oing into this past Tuesday’s final game of January against the visiting Swift Current Broncos, the Saskatoon Blades were playing at an impressive .750 win-loss percentage for the month.

Yet, they were stuck in the same position they occupied back on New Year’s Day! The .750 hockey was comprised of nine wins and three losses, upping the Bridge City Bunch’s record to 30-19-1 for 61 points…still sixth place in the Eastern Conference. That’s because the Calgary Hitmen have been on fire, winning 13 of 14 games in January to jump up from eight place to third!

“Our conference is extremely competitive,” explained Blades’ general manager and head coach Lorne Molleken.

THE

“Those (Central Division) teams are playing great hockey so we just have to keep pace with them and keep moving forward.

“Our goal is to make the playoffs and to secure homeice advantage in the first round would be an added bonus.”

Saskatoon’s stellar January aided in their post-season goal. The Bridge City Bunch won three of four head-to-head match-ups with, both, Brandon and Regina to leave the Wheat Kings and Pats behind them in the standings. No worse than a fourth place finish gets a team the extra home game in an opening round best-of-seven series.

Starting the week, the Blades were one point back of the fi fth place Kootenay Ice, three points behind the fourth place Medicine Hat Tigers, four

in arrears of third place Calgary and seven points back of the East Division-leading, and the Conference’s second seeded team, Moose Jaw Warriors.

WEEK – Despite all the milestones from Saturday, the first star of the game was 18-year-old defenceman Darren Dietz. He was a key player in the Blades turning a 2-1 lead into an 8-1 triumph over Regina. The fi fth round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2011 scored the first of his two goals in the final minute of the second period to give Saskatoon a 3-1 lead. Dietz was also a part of the Blades’ penalty-kill unit that held the Pats without a shot on goal over the first 1:32 of the the third period when Regina had a 5-on-3 power play. In the end, Dietz had two goals and was a +4 for the night!

Overall, he has nine goals, 29 points, 79 penalty minutes and +14 rating while being one of just four Saskatoon players to appear in all 50 games.

***** UPCOMING – The month of February starts with three more home games to complete a fivegame homestand. The Bridge City Bunch is home to Moose Jaw Friday before Medicine Hat visits Credit Union Centre on Saturday. Swift Current will make its second visit in eight days on Wednesday. All games start at 7:05 p.m. with the radio broadcast on CKBL-FM (92.9 THE BULL) beginning at 6:30 with pre-game chat.
