Rollover near Borden nets charges for driver

A

single vehicle rollover on Highway 16 near Borden on Friday, March 2, resulted in charges being laid against the driver.

Fortunately, there were no injuries in the accident, according to the Warman RCMP detachment. The driver was charged under the provincial Traffic Safety Act with driving too fast for road conditions The accident was one of ten incidents on Saskatchewan highways the night of March 1 and 2. A snowfall re-

sulted in icy roads throughout the province, which contributed to the rash of accidents.

According to RCMP F Division, the other incidents involved: A rollover at 6:24 p.m. in the RM of Cupar - Fatal Collision (separate media release has been sent out).

A two-vehicle Motor Vehicle Collision in Yorkton, SK There was damage to both vehicles but no serious injuries.

A single vehicle collision in Yorkton. There were no in-

juries and only minor property damage.

A semi-truck slid into the ditch at Highway #1 near White City. There were no injuries and little damage to the vehicle.

A single-vehicle collision from #2 & #11 junction to the St. Louis Bridge at Prince Albert detachment. The roads were quite icy at the time. No injuries were reported.

A motor vehicle collision on Highway 16 E. near North Battleford. The vehicle collided with a snowplow. No inju-

ries were reported but there was damage to the vehicle.

A transport truck slid into the ditch near on Highway 39 near Moose Jaw. There were no injuries or damage.

A vehicle struck a deer 10 km west of Indian Head on Highway #1. The vehicle was damaged and un-driveable, no injuries to the driver.

(The status of deer unknown) A single vehicle rollover 3 km. from the Alberta Border in Pierceland Detachment

area. No injuries but extensive damage to the vehicle.

According to Sg.t Paul Dawson with the RCMP F Division, drivers need to be aware that winter driving conditions still prevail, despite the mild temperatures so far this year.

“Although this is a relatively small number of collisions, keep in mind these are reported collisions only,” he said in a news release. “Very likely further collisions that

occurred over the past 12 hours will be reported to police in the days to follow.”

Motorists are advised to drive according to the conditions they encounter, said Dawson.

“Posted speed limits are for ideal driving conditions only,” he said. “As always, check the Highway hotline for the latest information on the status of Highway’s throughout the province.”

Snowfall wreaks havoc on area roads Revamped Corman Park Council will be

mix of incumbents and new councilors

By TERRY PUGH

T

Heavy snowfall and high winds made for dangerous driving conditions on Tuesday morning

T

he massive snowfall on Tuesday, March 6 created havoc on area highways. A single-vehicle rollover near Martensville occurred as a result of slippery conditions on Highway 12. Numerous vehicles ended up in the ditches along Highways 11 and 12 between Saskatoon, Warman and Martensville.

Paramedics also responded to a crash that took place on Highway 14 at approximagely 7:44 pm on Monday evening, March 5.

The crash occurred about 6 kilometers west of Saskatoon. Saskatoon City Police and Warman RCMP officers also responded.

According to Troy Davies with MD Ambulance, a male patient in his 40s was pronounced dead on scene by Paramedics. A 69 year-old female and a 70 year-old male were transported to RUH in stable condition.

In another incident, MD Ambulance Paramedics responded to a couple who were traveling in on Highway 14 from Biggar on Tuesday morning, March 6. The couple were caught in the blizzard and realized that they were not going to reach the RUH in time to deliver their baby. Paramedics arrived on

scene approximately 18 kilometers outside of Saskatoon and delivered the baby in the back of the patient’s vehicle on the shoulder of the highway. The baby boy arrived at 6:28 am.

“Both Mom and baby boy were healthy and stable and were transported to RUH in stable condition” stated Davies. “The Paramedics realized that with the current weather conditions they were going to have to deliver on scene”.

“This major snowfall means people need to use caution on the roads,” said Davies. “All streets including the highways surrounding Saskatoon are extremely slippery and have reduced visibility. If traveling on the highway is a must make sure to plan ahead by leaving early, reduce your speed, and drive with caution.”

Davies also urged caution when clearing snow from driveways and sidewalks. “Shoveling is extremely dangerous especially for people who have a cardiac history,” said Davies.

“This year alone we have had one patient go into cardiac arrest while shoveling and two other patients experience major heart attacks. Remember it’s not a race.”

Warman to alter summer garbage schedule

By TERRY PUGH

P

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

ublic concern about garbage piling up during the summer months has prompted a change in the pickup schedule in Warman for the months of June, July and August.

At its last meeting February 27, Warman Town Council adopted a resolution to alter the alternating weekly pickups of garbage and recycling during the summer.

Since 2011, Loraas Disposal and its subsidiary company, All-Green Recycling, have been on a year-round alternating-week schedule in Warman. Other municipalities serviced by this company operate on a similar alternating schedule.

But many residents in Warman complained that garbage left for two weeks in the bins was creating problems. A recommendation

Welcome Wagon relaunches in Warman and Martensville

By TERRY PUGH

ewcomers to the fastgrowing communities of Warman and Martensville can now look forward to a visit from a Welcome Wagon lady.

The venerable company that first started in Vancouver in 1930 is being “relaunched” in the area.

Kim Harris of Martensville and Monique Bueckert of Warman are looking forward to meeting new residents of these communities and making them feel at home.

Borden raises funds for community hall

By TERRY PUGH

A

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

fter raising $3500 last year in the first-ever edition of Borden’s Got Talent, organizers are hoping this year’s event is just as successful.

“We’ve had a lot of interest so far,” said Florence Neufeld, a member of the Borden Community Hall Preservation Committee. “After the success of last year, there’s a lot of enthusiasm out there, and we’re getting calls from people who are interested in performing or suggesting others who might be willing to perform.

This year’s version of the community-wide talent show is slated for Sunday, April 15 at the Borden Community Hall.

It’s a combination talent contest and fundraising blitz, explained Neufeld, adding the money is going toward ongoing renovations and improvements to the Borden Community Hall.

“The community hall is really the heart of the town of Borden and the surrounding rural area,” she added. “Everything happens here. We don’t have a church in town that’s big enough for a wedding or funeral, so this is where those gatherings take place.”

She said the community hall, which houses the library and community meeting rooms, is also the centre for the seniors. The hall addition was constructed as an annex to the old town hall about thirty years ago, and is owned by the municipality.

“It’s operated by a board of volunteers, and all the maintenance work and improvements are all done by volunteers,” she explained. “But it costs money to keep the doors open, to heat the building, and to keep everything running smoothly. It runs a deficit ev-

ery year, and that’s where our preservation committee steps up. We do fundraising to make up that annual deficit so that it doesn’t have to be made up from taxes.”

Neufeld said the community hall is in good shape, but it could use improvements. “We raised funds and painted the exterior of the building recently,” she said. “And we’ve done work on the interior, including upgrades to the bathrooms in the last couple of years. We want to re-do the roof – either putting on new shingles or else putting on a metal roof. The metal roof would require less maintenance but it’s also more expensive up front.”

Neufeld said another project is to renovate a large storage room downstairs so that it can be used as a change room for performers.

She said while talent search competitions are popular television programs, the community fundraiser is actually based on the old-style local radio talent shows. “Years ago, there used to be lots of local amateur hours on the radio,” she said.

“We thought it would be fun to do something like that.”

And it was fun, she added.

“Last year we had a lot of different acts, including a local girl who did some Australian whip-cracking,” she said. “Most of the performers were musical acts.”

The performers that raise the most funds prior to the competition are the winners, she noted. “The actual show is just for fun,” she said. “Admission is $5, and those funds also go towards the community hall.”

This year, there is a lot of interest in the upcoming show, and that means the acts will have to be limited to those that can be performed on the stage, she noted. “Last year we had to make sure there was room for

the whip-cracker on the floor in front of the stage. This year there will be too many people in the audience to do that.”

She said most of the acts that will be performing this year are musical. The deadline for entering the community talent show is March 15. Interested performers can contact Florence Neufeld at 997-2130 or Jackie Meister at 997-2062.

learn about what’s available in the community, because as a parent with a new baby, it’s not easy to get out and meet people.

“You can be a bit isolated,” Harris said. “So I wanted to be able to help other people who might be in the same situation that I found myself in. There are so many good community organizations and services

here, but you have to find out about them in order to access them.”

Bueckert and Harris are currently approaching businesses and service organizations in both communities to provide sponsorships and information for the baskets they distribute.

The head office of Welcome

Wagon is in Ontario, with a regional branch represntative in Moose Jaw. The service is available in 500 communities.

New residents to a community, parents expecting a new baby, and couples planning a wedding can log onto the Welcome Wagon website at www. welcomewagon.ca and request a visit.

word ‘no’ has been echoing in the walls of the RM offices for far too long and many people have chosen to live and work outside of the RM boundaries,” she said. “It is ridiculous that we have been sending these people away.

Corman Park can be a great place to live and work for everyone and hoepfully with the new council we will see that change.”

REEVE ELECTION NEXT The position of Reeve will be up for election during the regular municipal elections schedued province wide on October 24, 2012.

GOOD VOTER TURNOUT RM of Corman Park Administrator Judy Douglas, who served as Chief Electoral Officer for the election, said voter turnout was quite high.

“It’s a little difficult to give an exact figure for voter participation, because there are no official voters’ lists,” Douglas explained in an interview March 1, the day after the election. “We unfortunately don’t have statistics on how many eligible voters there are in each division.”

Douglas said while the recent 2011 census by Statistics Canada puts the RM’s population at 8,354, there is no breakdown on how many of those residents meet the eligibility

requirements to vote.

However, she said the turnout was high compared with previous municipal elections.

“Overall there was good participation in every division,” she stated. “One reason for the widespread interest in the election is that it involved councilor elections across the entire RM. This is very unusual, because normally elections alternate between odd-numbered divisions and even-numbered divisions.”

The reduction in the number of divisions also required realigning division boundaries. There were also additional polling stations added to ensure ratepayers could have reasonable access to voting stations, noted Douglas.

“There were a number of people who initially went to the wrong polling stations because the boundaries have changed,” she noted. “But for the most part it went fairly smooth. A lot of people inquired ahead of time to find out where their polling stations were.”

Douglas doesn’t anticipate any recounts, but said candidates who lost in close races have ten days from the date of the election to request a recount.

“In the meantime, the candidate who is officially declared elected is entitled to take his or her seat at the council table,” she said.

Warman starts down road to city status

By TERRY PUGH

A

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

public open house slated for later this month marks the first big step for the community of Warman as it heads down the road to attaining city status.

The informational open house is scheduled for Tuesday, March 27 at the Brian King Centre from 4:30 to 8 pm.

“This is the first stage of the application to become a city,” according to Brad Toth, Director of Planning for the Town of Warman.

In an interview March 2, Toth said the open house is designed to gather feedback from residents of Warman, and also to answer people’s questions about the implications of the change.

“The idea of the open house is to put the facts out in front of the people, and answer any questions they may have,” explained Toth. “We’ll have information that lists the benefits of moving to city status, and if there are any negative aspects, we’ll have those out there as well. The elected members of council will be on hand, as well as administrative support staff, to answer people’s questions.”

Toth said it’s an opportunity for people to “familiarize themselves” with the process, and also to let councilors know whether they feel it’s a good move or not.

“It’s designed to generate discussion and feedback,” said Toth. “The points that come up will go back to council and then in April council will make a decision one way or the other.”

Toth noted that the rlease of the new federal census numbers, which show Warman is the sixth-fastest growing community in the country, with a population well over 7,000 people, makes the move to city status a highpriority issue for council.

12032MS02

Affected Land The affected land is legally described as Part of Parcel B, Plan No 102026001 & Part of LS 11 & LS 12 Section 1-TWP 39- RGE 5-W 3rd Meridian, Warman, Saskatchewan.

Reason The amendment will allow for Residential Development.

Public Inspection Any person may inspect the Bylaw at the Town of Warman office between 8:30am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday excluding statutory holidays. Copies are available at cost.

Public Hearing Council will hold a public hearing on March 26, 2012 at 6:30pm at the Town of Warman office to hear any person or group that wants to comment on the proposed bylaw. Council will also consider written comments received at the hearing (or delivered to the undersigned at the municipal office before the hearing).

“The decision has to be made prior to the end of May, 2012,” he said. “That’s because municipal elections are scheduled for this coming October, and we will need

March is Rural Women’s Month

The Government of Saskatchewan proclaimed March as Rural Women’s Month in Saskatchewan.

“Women have always played a valuable role in their family farms and local communities,” Agriculture Minister Bob Bjornerud said. “The hard work and leadership of women continues to be vital to the success of our province and agriculture industry.”

“Women who live in rural areas play multiple roles that are key to maintaining our farms, our families and our communities,” Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women June Draude said.

Rural Women’s Month will be observed in conjunction with events held in March by various women’s groups in communities across the province.

to know if the province has approved the change to city status prior to those elections. Once the province has approved the change, then it just requires a simple resolution from the new council after the election.”

Warman town council in-

dicated support last year for the move to city status, but felt it made sense to wait until 2012 because the new census would reveal a more accurate picture of the population of the community, and also because regular municipal elections were slated for the fall.

A couple rural boys who gave us a lot

Robocalls may be just tip of iceberg

D

By Tyler Sommers Director Democracy Watch - www.dwatch.ca

emocracy Watch again is calling on the Commissioner of Elections Canada and the Director of Public Prosecutions to release the results of investigations and the rulings on 2,284 complaints received by Elections Canada since 2004 about which they have never disclosed any details. Democracy Watch first issued this request last November.

Democracy Watch is also calling on federal MPs to cooperate and strengthen the Canada Elections Act to make it illegal for any phone-calling company to allow calls to voters from an anonymous person or organization, and to make it illegal to make calls about things overseen by Elections Canada or the law (such as changes to polling station locations, resignations of MPs and by-elections). This change is needed as soon as possible to ensure the integrity of by-elections, and all future elections.

If the Commissioner and Director refuse to disclose the rulings and details about the 2,284 complaints by the end of this week, Democracy Watch is asking a parliamentary committee to compel the Commissioner and Director to disclose this information at a hearing next week or when Parliament re-opens on March 26th after the March break.

Elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and it is likely the robocall scandal is the tip of the iceberg and that there are many situations which raise serious questions about whether the federal election law has been properly enforced since 2004.

Elections Canada must disclose the details of its rulings on 2,284 past complaints to assure Canadians that it enforces the law properly and effectively.

Very strangely, former Chief Electoral Officer Jean-Pierre Kingsley has opposed public disclosure of rulings on past complaints (more than 800 of the 2,284 complaints were made between 2004 and 2006 when he was CEO) but has called for full disclosure of exactly what happened and who did what in the robocall scandal.

If someone is not sent to jail as a result of the robocall scandal, the system will have failed. And if Elections Canada does not disclose its rulings on past complaints, and all future complaints, Canadians will not be able to tell whether the system works fairly and properly in all cases.

Democracy Watch wants the Commissioner of Elections to re-open its investigation into the 2008 robocall situation in the Saanich-Gulf riding in B.C. because as far as is known the Commissioner did not seek court orders or subpoena records from robocall and telecommunications companies to track down who arranged and paid for those calls.

It seems clear from the 2008 robocall scandal in a B.C. riding that Elections Canada has not been taking complaints as seriously as needed to properly enforce the law.

ries about small-town schooling, the local curling rink, dugout hockey, fishing, pitching bails, combining, cultivating, riding the school bus, and a thousand other things to which the city kids couldn’t always relate.

There were also a thousand things to argue about – most of which revolved around football. Ron, of course, was a diehard ‘Rider fan who wore green long before it was quite so fashionable to do so. Coming from rural Manitoba, I, of course, was a diehard Blue Bomber fan and still am. (Hey, I don’t question your religion or try and convert you.)

Our football arguments were epic and I would give anything to have just one more with him. Whatever differences over football we had, we really had a lot more in common. Maybe it had something to do with the way rural farm boys are raised to work hard, to make our own fun and to not give up on our dreams.

You see, long before I met Ron 30 years ago, another rural farm boy taught me those values. He was my dad, John Mandryk, who coincidentally died the day of Ron’s funeral.

Passing on age 96 years,

Dad was a different era of rural farm boy – one that had to work even harder and whose own youth faced the ravages of the Great Depression and service in the Second World War. Through it all, he and mom managed to raise his six kids on a small mixed farming operation – all of which went on to have professional careers and families of their own.

Getting a post-secondary education meant everything to my dad. That his children and most of his grandchildren (a few with doctorates) were able to achieve that was dad’s

proudest accomplishment.

Ron was as thankful for what his own dad, Jim Petrie – another rural farm boy that passed on a few years ago – had given him. I remember a great talk with Ron years ago about how small our contributions through journalism were compared with what our Dads offered by growing wheat to feed a world.

Like mine, Ron’s dad had taught him well.

We lost two great rural farm boys last month. But I think the values they taught us will live on in their own kids and grandkids.

Pardon me for departing from my usual exploration of Saskatchewan politics, but I would like to write about a couple rural farm boys that left us late last month.

They say the land makes us who we are. This is true, but sometimes it’s people like this that make the land.

The first rural boy is someone who will be familiar to many of you – my longtime friend and Leader-Post columnist colleague Ron Petrie who passed away Feb. 19 at the all-too-young age of 52 years. A long battle with cancer we thought and prayed Ron had won finally took its toll. Ron leaves behind his wife Joan, triplets Stuart, Spencer and Hailey and youngest son Andrew and countless readers who will miss his extraordinary writing talents displayed in his humour column.

However, long before Ron became a great columnist, husband, father, hockey dad and friend to so many other colleagues that he worked with at the Leader-Post for more than 30 years, Ron was a rural Saskatchewan farm boy. In many ways, that was all Ron really was. And as a rural Manitoba farm boy myself, this might have been what I appreciated most about him.

During our 30 years together at the newspaper, we were two of only a handful of farm boys who now toiled with notepads and keyboards. As such, we shared plenty of sto-

also keeping up with technology and are victimizing people. In most instances, this occurs before the person ever realizes it.

Commercial money transfer services are the main payment method for scams. The reasons money transfers are so popular with criminals is because the transactions occur instantly and are a world-wide service. False identifications are used which allow the criminals to keep their anonymity and transactions can cross international borders making it very difficult for police to investigate.

Here are a some tips to consider before making any money transfers: Most online auction sites suggest avoiding such wire transfer service payments.

A good alternative is using a credit card or a service such as PayPal where, if you are a victim of a fraud, most of these companies will reimburse you for your loss. With a money transfer service once the money has been picked up by the recipient

there is no recourse and the money is not recoverable.

Never send money to a stranger using a money transfer service. Be very cautious in sending money to someone outside Canada. Even if it is to someone you feel you know, take the time to ask a few key questions to confirm their identity. Be cautious if you are contacted by someone claiming to be a relative in a crisis and who has requested money to assist them. This well known method is used in the “Grandparent Scam”.

If you have received such a request, ask questions including a call back number.

Make contact with the family members of the supposed relative requesting the money transfer.

Avoid buying items unseen especially when purchasing a big ticketed item online such as a vehicle.

Avoid using online escrow services. These typically turn out to be false. Fake escrow services are used to gain your confidence in the purchase or sale. If anyone

coaches you in to how you need to respond to a money transfer Agent’s questions when you purchase a money transfer or offers “tips to avoid higher fees”, do not proceed with the transaction. The criminals engaged in these types of scams know exactly what they need to do to avoid detection. Any transaction involving such coaching should be avoided.

If you receive a cheque from any individual with instructions to cash it, then send a portion of the money via money transfer back to them, it’s most likely is a fraud. This method occurs commonly when person(s) wish to rent properties within Canada. An arrangement is made usually from the person outside of Canada in that they will rent a residence. A cheque is mailed to the landlord and cashed by them.

Through attention of Fraud Awareness Month, the trained staff of Commercial Crime and Fraud Sections in Saskatchewan will be able to share their knowledge and inform the general public.

Vipers clinch top spot, set sights on Bantam AA title

By TERRY PUGH

No Appetite Doesn’t Mean you Shouldn’t Eat...Part 4

Some people think when they are not hungry they don’t need to eat. On the contrary, just because you don’t feel hungry doesn’t mean that you don’t need calories. It might mean you need them even more than you think, according to Larson-Meyer, PhD, RD, FACSM. When the appetitie is diminished, it is thought to be a protective adaptation when the body is having a starvation response.

One theory is that this is an evolutionary adaptation: while experiencing a huge energy deficit, the body can conserve energy if it doesn’t react by getting famished, which would drive up the energy used to look for food when none was available.

Dan Bernardot, PhD, RD, FACSM, professor and head of nutrition at Georgia State University, Atlanta, has studied athletes that have skipped breakfasts. In his book Advanced Sports Nutrition (Human Kinetrics 2005), explains that even if the body weight stay stable because a personal doesn’t eat more calories over the whole day, an athlete may have less lean body mass and higher body fat levels as a result. Both low blood sugar in the long periods of not eating and the overly large meals that follow can lead to surges of excess insulin, an effect that encourages extra body fat. Benardot’s online food log helps track hourly energy fluctuations (http://nutritiming.com) to show when and how much to eat to maintain good energy balance.

Exercising Without Eating Won’t Improve Fat Loss

Even if hunger diminishes once you start working out, if your fuel tank is empty your body will demand more fuel in the form of glucose and fatty acids from the blood. If there isn’t enough fuel available, the body will start to break down muscle proteins. So by driving your body into an even deeper energy deficit, you’ll be more likely to get very hungry and the binge later.

And, if you think by working out on an empty stomach, you will be burning more fat, think again. If the body burns a higher percentage of fat while exercising on no breakfast, that doesn’t mean metabolism (calorie burn) is speeding up. By working out on an empty stomach, you may not have enough carbs to power that workout and so you won’t be able to work out as long or as hard.

he Sask Valley Diamond Pharmacy Vipers are hoping to ride their regular season success through the provincial playoffs.

The team finished first overall in the north division of the Sask Valley Bantam AA Hockey League.

“It’s been a good season,” said head coach Shaun Priel.

“We’ve had a lot of success in our league. We started the season with the end goal of playing in the provincial final, and we’ve been building steadily on that throughout the year. That’s been our focus since our very first practice last fall.”

And with a 13-1 win at the Warman Legends Centre last Saturday in Game 1 of their playoff series against the Prince Albert Venice House Raiders, the Vipers are confident they can make it all the way to the provincial final.

Logan Schatz led the way for the Vipers with 5 goals, while Ryan Rothenburger had a goal and five assists.

Terrell Draude added a goal and two assists.

Vipers goaltender Connor Ingram had a strong game, allowing only one goal.

The Vipers lost the second game of the series 5-1 to the Raiders on Monday, March 5 in Prince Albert.

Game 3 is slated for Saturday, March 10 at the Legends Centre in Warman.

Priel, who has coached bantam level hockey in Warman and Martensville for the past twenty years,, says this team is an exceptional group of young athletes.

“It’s a great group to work with,” said Priel. “They’ve set individual goals for themselves. For the senior bantam players - those in their second year - this is the year they’re eligible for the WHL draft. They’re hoping to get noticed, so they play hard every shift.”

But there’s more to the team than the on-ice performance, said Priel, adding the kids are supportive of each other and have a positive attitude.

“This team has a lot of character and a lot of cohesion,” he said. “It’s probably one of the best teams I’ve ever coached. They’re a tight-knit bunch.”

GAZETTE PHOTOS BY TERRY PUGH

Clayton McKenzie of the Sask Valley Diamond Pharmacy Vipers comes from behind to check Brendan Beaulac of the Prince Albert Venice House Raiders during Sask Bantam AA playoff action in Warman last weekend.

Priel said there’s a lot of talent on the squad.

“We depend on our senior players to carry the load and be leaders on the team,” said Priel. “And they’ve really come through. Terrell Draude of Warman has been our leader all year. He won the league scoring title and is one of the best players in Saskatchewan for his age level. He’ll likely get drafted pretty high.”

Priel said the further the team goes into the playoffs, the tougher the competition will be. The Vipers’ record of 16 wins, 4 losses and one tie on the season is closely matched by the combined Melfort-Tisdale team (North East) with a record of 15 wins, four losses and 5 ties.

The top three teams in the south division also have impressive records.

PURPLE PRIDE Terrell Draude, sporting a bright purple hair-dye job, said the team adopted the colour as a way of having some fun heading into the playoffs.

For the past four years, Draude has been playing out of his home town, and he says this year is special.

“It’s a great bunch of guys to play with,” Draude said in an interview after the game last weekend. “Producing is easy when you play with skilled linemates. And it’s nice to be part of a winning team.”

Logan Schatz, who hails from Allan, southeast of

Executive Assistant

Saskatoon, said five goals in one game is a little unusual for him.

“I’m usually the set-up guy,” Schatz said. “I’m a passer.

I’m not usually the one who puts the puck in the net, so it’s a little new to me.”

Schatz said his favourite player is Sidney Crosby, and he tries to model his game on the Pittsburgh Penguins captain. “He’s got a strong overall game - both defensively and offensively,” said Schatz.

He noted the next few games are critical if the Vipers are to make it deeper into the playoffs.

“If you mess up, then you’re gone,” he said. “We know we have to bring our ‘A Game’ every time. We want to go all the way.”

Vipers goaltender Connor Ingram is from Imperial, a two-hour drive from Warman and Martensville, and a two and a half hour drive from Waldheim - the three centres where the Vipers have played home games this season.

“It’s a long drive, but it’s worth it,” Ingram said with a grin. “These are great guys

to play with.”

Ingram said he drifted naturally into the role of goaltender.

“I have three older brothers, and ever since I was about four years old, I’d strap on my brothers’ pads and they’d just drill pucks at me,” he said. “We played a lot of mini-stick hockey in the living room and street hockey outside.”

Ingram said he’s not bothered by how hard the puck comes at him.

“I just close my eyes and hope for the best,” he joked.

“No seriously, there’s a science to it. Most people think you read the puck after it comes off the shooter’s stick.

But actually, you can read it before he shoots. You can tell by how he’s handling his stick where the puck is going to go.”

Legends Golf Club gears up to host Prov. junior championship

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

F

resh from hosting the Saskatchewan Men’s Amateur Golf Championship in its inaugural season last year, the Legends Golf Club in Warman is primed to lay out the welcome mat for the province’s top young golfers.

The Saskatchewan Junior Golf Championship will be held at the Legends Golf Club July 2, 3 and 4.

It’s a testament to the club and the community that this will be the second high-profile tournament in as many years for the new club, according to Brian Lee, Executive-Director of Golf Saskatchewan, the sport governing body for golf in the province.

In an interview March 2, Lee said over a hundred young golfers are expected for the three-day event, and he expects they will find the course just as challenging and rewarding as the Men’s Amateur competitors did last year.

“The golf course will be a great test for all levels of play,” he said, noting that there are several different divisions that reflect the various age groups.

“Overall, it’s open to golfers 19 years of age and under,” he said. “The age groups are established based on the last day of the national championship, which happens to be August 6

this year. So in the oldest division, they have to be 18 years and under as of August 6. The next division is for golfers 16 years of age and under. There is also a 14 and under division and one for golfers 12 years old and under.”

Lee said each of the young golfers must either be a member of a local golf club or else affiliated with Golf Saskatchewan through its provincial public players club. But he said it is also open to golfers from other parts of the country who are registered with Golf Canada, as well as international golfers who are mem-

bers of their national association.

Lee said in the youngest age division, golfers will be playing a modified system that follows the national “longterm athlete development program” put out by Canadian Sport for Life.

“This is all the provincial golf associations have adopted as something to move our sport forward in the coming years,” said Lee. “It’s important to encourage young golfers in order to grow the sport.

Getting more youth involved in golf is a major focus for the national sport governing body.

We’re also putting more emphasis on getting women involved in golf.”

He noted that while the past few years have seen fewer young golfers participate in competitions, the longterm athlete development program is aimed at turning that around.

“We can see it bouncing

back and becoming once again one of the more popular sports during the summer months,” he said. “In about five years we expect those numbers of youthful competitors to be back up to where they were three or four years ago.”

Lee said the public is encouraged to come out and watch the competition dur-

ing the Junior Championship.

“The public is welcome to take this in,” he said. “Some of these young players can really move the golf ball around the course.”

He said there will be a call put out by the provincial golf association and the Legends Golf Club for volunteers beginning in May.

ith over 90 sand-green golf courses scattered throughout rural Saskatchewan, this province is among the most accessible and affordable places to get out on the links, says Brian Lee, Executive-Director of Golf Saskatchewan.

While major golf tournaments raise the profile of high-end courses in bigger centres, it would be a mistake to think those events and facilities make up the total picture, he said in an interview.

“One of the neat aspects of Saskatchewan, and to a lesser extent, Manitoba, is the large number of viable and popular sand green golf courses,” said Lee. “At last count, there are 92 active sand green courses in this province. These golf courses are usually located in rural settings and they rely on the natu-

They’re also very affordable, notes Lee. “A lot of them rely on honesty boxes and the green fees are often very low, sometimes only about $5 or so and you can play all day,” he said. “The surfaces don’t take

as much maintenance as grass greens, so they’re viable economically to operate. It’s also a great way to get the family out for a day of golfing.”

In fact, many of the province’s top golfers actually got their start playing on sand green golf courses, said Lee. Golf Canada recently reapproved the official rules of golf for sand green courses, he added. “There are new standard local rules for sand green courses,” he said. “Because it’s

played differently than grass greens. You get to smooth the green with a mat or artificial smoothening device before you putt.”

Lee, who lives in the Pike Lake area, said he is working with other local people to popularize the sand green golf course at Pike Lake Provincial Park. “It’s a beautiful spot,” he said. “I’d encourage golfers to try sand greens for a change of pace.”

It’s been a long time coming, but we finally found a burger worthy of the Grandma name. We started with prime rib – a premium cut of beef with more mouth-watering flavour than most burgers can handle. Then we nestled it in a toasted bun and topped it off with caramelized onions, making a

“Forgotten” Todd shines in Edmonton setback INSIDE EDGE

It’s debatable as to what was more amazing going into Sunday’s game at Rexall Place in Edmonton…the fact that Andrey Makarov had started 17 consecutive games in goal for the Saskatoon Blades.

Or, that Adam Todd made his first game-opening appearance between the pipes for the Bridge City Bunch of 2012!

After only playing 49:57 over three relief appearances since that abbreviated start, against the Edmonton Oil Kings co-incidentally enough, Todd shone with 31 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Eastern Conference leaders.

Not only did Todd wait 29 games between starts, but the 17-year-old Vancouver product watched as 16-year-old affiliate Alex Moodie started 11

games while Makarov was either away at the World Junior Hockey Championships with Team Russia or was sidelined by concussion. “(Andrey is) the starter here and he’s helping the team win a lot of games and whatever I can do to contribute to the team, I’ll do,” explained Todd of his situation. “(My playing time) isn’t going to be given to me, I know that. I’ve got to work hard in practice and prove to Lorne (Blades’ general manager and head coach Lorne) he can have confidence in me to get wins for the team.”

Todd’s attitude, and play Sunday in Edmonton, has likely earned him another at least another starting chance before the regular-season ends.

***** UPCOMING – Following a Wednesday, final regular-season, visit to Prince Albert, the Bridge City Bunch plays a critical two-game series in Brandon Friday and Saturday. Going into the week, the Blades were in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, just one point up on the Wheat Kings.

Saskatoon was hopeful of having two-thirds of their injurybound defence return to action this week. Captain Duncan Siemens had missed 13 games because of a concussion, but was hopeful of a return in P.A….Friday in Brandon at the latest. Connor Cox had missed six games coming into the week, with the 19-year-old slated for a Friday return. The Blades will open the final week

Pike Lake winter festival brings community together

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

M

other Nature was the guest of honour at the Pike Lake Winter Festival last weekend.

A fresh snowfall, coupled with mild temperatures, provided the perfect conditions for outdoor activities at the Pike Lake School and Community Hall on Friday, March 2.

“This is actually the first time we’ve done a winter festival, so we’re very fortunate to get nice weather and a nice coating of fresh snow,” said Heather Robertson, a teacher at the school and one of the organizers of the event. “It’s very picturesque.”

Robertson said the small K-4 school is an important part of the Pike Lake community because it provides a focal point for all residents, whether they have children in the school or not.

“We’re always looking to promote our wonderful school and our wonderful area,” she said. “We’ve had community barbecues and get-togethers here in the spring and summer, and we thought that it’s about time we celebrated the winter season too. It has its own special charm.”

The community outdoor skating rink was freshlycleaned for the event, and kids and adults alike took advantage of the ice conditions. A nearby open firepit provided some warmth, and a home-made “hockey shoot” game was set up in the outdoor playground area.

Wagon rides provided by the Wayne Olyniuk family of Dundurn lent a Christmaslike flavor to the event, as a set of matching Norwegian Fjord mares pulled residents around the streets of the small community nestled on the west shore of Pike Lake.

Robertson said despite its

HOT MEALS HOT DEALS

small size, Pike Lake School offers many advantages for both students and teachers.

“It’s a beautiful place to teach,” she explained. “With the sand hills and the lake and river so close by, it’s a very unique and wonderful place. Every season offers something different, and the kids can see things here that they would never get the opportunity to see if they were in the city.

“Our outdoor classroom is literally right outside the door. Sometimes when the buses arrive in the morning, it’s not unusual to see a deer running through the schoolyard.”

She said as a teacher, she loves having the opportunity to teach small classes with split grades.

“I’m teaching a class this year made up of Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students,” she said. “I find it brings out amazing leadership skills in my Grade 2s, and the Kindergarten kids are reaching because they want to be learning as much and taking in as much as the older kids. So it really works well.”

The event also featured a community potluck supper and indoor craft activities for the children. The students decorated the school and hall for the occasion, noted Robertson.

“In the evening, the kids will be leading the audience members in square dancing,” she added. “They’ve been learning some square dance moves in our fine arts program, so they’ll be passing on what they’ve learned to their parents and community members. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Laura Prefontaine, principal of the school, said events like this one really bring the community together.

“A lot of different people came out to this celebration,” she noted. “It’s not just the school, it’s also people from the wider community.

They feel this school is an important part of this area.

It’s part of the character and the heritage of this place.”

Prefontaine noted the school and the community are gearing up for a major milestone in September, 2013, which will mark the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the original Pike Lake country school.

Driver held in custody after refusing breathalyzer test: Warman RCMP Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Acting Commander Warman RCMP Detachment

Traffic offences: On February 24, shortly before midnight, Warman RCMP responded to a call of a stranded Toyota Celica in the ditch along Highway 7 near Vanscoy. The 27 year old male driver was found in the vehicle. He displayed signs of impairment by alcohol and was arrested and taken to the police detachment for the purposes of providing samples of his breath.

The man did not submit samples of his breath and was released on charges of failing to provide a breath sample and having care and control of a motor vehicle while his ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired. The man is scheduled to appear in court on a later date in Saskatoon in answer to the allegations.

On February 24 in the early hours of the morning, Warman RCMP responded to a call of a male laying down along highway 12 in the area of Martensville. A 37 year old male from Saskatoon was found to be intoxicated and was issued an offence notice under the Alcohol and Gaming Regulations Act for public intoxication and returned to his residence.

On February 26, at approximately 9:00 p.m., Warman RCMP received a complaint of an erratic driver northbound on highway 11 near the Town of Osler.

It was reported that the vehicle was traveling northbound in the passing lane of

the highway at 40 km/h and was obstructing other motorists. Police attended to the area and located the vehicle traveling southbound in the northbound lanes.

Police stopped the vehicle and observed signs of impairment from the driver, who was subsequently arrested and taken to the police detachment for breath samples. A 46 year old Blaine Lake woman was released on charges of impaired driving and is scheduled to attend Provincial Court in Saskatoon on March 21.

On February 29, at approximately 5:00 p.m., the Warman RCMP received a complaint of a large red truck being driven a high speeds weaving in and out of traffic on Highway 11 north

of Saskatoon. The vehicle was identified through licencing and witness testimony. A 26 year old Hague man has been charged as the Registered Owner of a vehicle involved in the contravention of the Traffic Safety Act for a speeding related offence.

During the early evening hours of March 1, members of the Radisson RCMP responded to a single vehicle rollover collision at the east service road entrance to the Town of Borden at Highway 16. The driver did not sustain any injuries. As a result of investigation a 34 year old Radisson man was charged with driving too fast for road conditions under the Traffic Safety Act.

Property Crime: Sometime during the ear-

ly morning hours of February 24 a fence in the rear of the 100 block of 2nd Avenue West in Langham was damaged by an unknown vehicle.

The owners were advised by neighbors of the damages and reported the matter to police, however, no suspects have yet been identified.

On February 24 in the early afternoon, police received a report of a fire near a barn in Borden. Investigation revealed that three children had been playing with matches. The fire was observed by the owner and the structure had not sustained damages. The Radisson RCMP located the youths who were responsible. The youths, who were all under 12 years of age, are not eligible to be charged because of

the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The matter was referred to the children’s parents to be dealt

with.

RCMP REPORT

On February 28 the Warman RCMP responded to a complaint of a break and enter on Redwood Crescent in Warman. The home, which is vacant and under construction, was broken into during the previous night. A minor amount of damage was done.

Nothing is believed to have been stolen. The builders and contractors working in the

Continued from Page 17

area are reminded to remove or secure their equipment and tools at night. The thefts in the construction industry have been an issue in and around Saskatoon for the past few years.

During the night of February 29 along the Auction Mart Road near Dalmeny Road, several Star Phoenix mailboxes were smashed off

19

their stands and one property had their fencing decoration destroyed. There are no known suspects.

The Warman RCMP are asking for assistance or any information which identifies the culprit(s) involved.

Persons: On February 28, in the Vanscoy district, the RCMP along with RM of Vanscoy Police responded to a report of a sudden death on a rural prop-

erty. An investigation was conducted by Warman RCMP and the Coroner’s office concerning the death of a 41 year old male from Saskatoon. No foul play is suspected. The investigation has been concluded.

On February 26 the Warman RCMP along with MD Ambulance responded to a Langham residence concerning a report of a 75 year old male who had collapsed

in his home after having been snow blowing his driveway. Attempts were made to resuscitate the man but were unsuccessful. The victim appears to have been the victim of cardiac arrest. The police investigation has been concluded.

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.

Your safety is our priority.

As the busy construction season and spring thaw approaches, safety on the job site and in communities around the province remains SaskEnergy’s top priority. We’re investing more time and money in safety initiatives to meet new challenges, while continuously improving safety practises and procedures.

With your support, SaskEnergy is …

INVESTING IN SAFETY

WORKING WITH YOU, FOR YOU

We’ve increased safety spending to $79 million for 2012 to elevate the safety related system upgrading for our 80,000 km pipeline system.

SaskEnergy works closely with industry associations, natural gas utilities across Canada and provincial regulatory bodies to maintain best practises for safety.

We appreciate feedback from our customers and key stakeholders as well.

We want to keep you informed of our efforts and the actions you can take to assist with keeping our communities safe.

We have more than 600 technicians and tradespeople, construction workers, engineers, technologists, and customer service employees working in communities across the province to deliver safe and reliable natural gas service.

Whether buildings are being constructed, renovated or taken down, or you are planning to excavate, our team uses tools and techniques before work begins to make job sites safer. For example, a new building demolition process of deactivating service lines at a demolition site is now in place.

Each year, our highly-trained people manage over 100,000 work orders of proactive safety related activities while also responding 24/7 – at no charge – to 24,000 calls from homes and businesses to provide safety checks and peace of mind for our customers.

The most vital element of SaskEnergy’s safety initiatives is YOU! Make sure you know where underground lines are before you dig, by contacting Sask1st Call on-line at www.sask1stcall.com or call 1-866-828-4888.

When planning a building demolition project, contact SaskEnergy at 1-888-7000-GAS (427).

Most importantly, if you smell natural gas, leave the area immediately and contact SaskEnergy at 1-888-7000-GAS (427).

Let’s stay safe by working together. saskenergy.com
