A Hairy Woodpecker, with its claws awkwardly up at its neck, uses its tail to balance itself while stretching out its tongue to grab birdseed from a backyard feeder in Warman last weekend. The woodpecker was just a little too big to get at the treat comfortably. Hairy Woodpeckers, and their smaller look-alike cousins, Downy Woodpeckers, live year round in the area. They love sunflower seeds and suet.

Prairie Spirit SD taking suggestions for name of new middle years school By BRENDA ERICKSON

Prairie Spirit School Division

onstruction is now well underway on the new school in Warman. “This exciting project is making steady progress,” said John Kuzbik, Director of Education for Prairie Spirit School Division. “Now we need to determine a name for the school. As part of the naming process, we want to hear suggestions from students, staff and residents of Warman and area.” Warman students, staff and community members are invited to submit a name that reflects the local community and the nature of this new school and may include rationale for their name submission. Submission forms will be available at Warman High School, Warman Elementary School, Division Office in Warman, and on the school division website at www. spiritsd.ca. Entries can be delivered to the schools in Warman, to the Division Of-

Construction is underway on the yet to be named Warman Middle Years School and is slated to be “substantially completed” by the time classes start in the fall of 2013 fice (121 Klassen Street East), by fax (934-8221) or email (info@spiritsd.ca). The deadline for entries is Thursday, April 5. A local committee will review the submissions and provide a select number of entries for the Board of Education to consider, Kuzbik said. The winning submission (which may be a single entry or a composite of entries) will be recognized at the time of the school’s sodturning ceremony. The school project was announced by the Premier

in March, 2010 and is part of a joint-use project with the Town of Warman’s Legends Complex in the town’s north end. The new school will have access to the gym facilities in the sports complex as part of a joint-use agreement already signed between the Town and the school division. The community will have access to the theatre and library which will be part of the school. The $21.5 million school facility is expected to be substantially completed by the time school starts in fall, 2013.

City council to establish compost site for grass clippings By TERRY PUGH

RM of Corman Park council to review separation petition at April 2 meeting Administration must verify signatures before decision on referendum can be made by Minister By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

petition containing over 2,000 signatures of RM residents was handed over to RM administrator Judy Douglas on Friday, March 9 at the Corman Park office in Saskatoon by former reeve Dick Friesen. The petition is calling for a division of the RM into two, with the South Saskatchewan River as the dividing line. Friesen told reporters

the separation petition was prompted by the reduction in electoral divisions from 11 to 8, a move which he says will be mean less representation at the council table for west side residents. The reduction in the number of electoral divisions was endorsed last fall by the provincial Minister of Municipal Affairs, Hon. Darryl Hickie, following a referendum on the issue in which a majority of ratepayers favoured the move. The referendum was triggered by a successful petition organized in early summer, 2011, by residents of the RM. The latest petition calling for a division of the RM of Corman Park contained 2,077 signatures.

During the RM council meeting on Monday, March 12, Douglas said the administration of the municipality is required to check that all the signatories to the petition meet the residential requirements. If there are sufficient legitimate signatures, then the petition will be brought forward to council at its next meeting. “At the present time we have not yet verified those 2,077 names on the petition,” explained Douglas. “We now have 30 days to determine if the petition for a referendum is sufficient, and we are required to bring it forward within those 30 days to council.”

Douglas said to accommodate that 30-day timeline, there needs to be a change in the meeting date for the RM council. She said the next scheduled meeting on March 26 does not provide enough time to verify the names. Consequently, the date for council’s next meeting has been changed to accommodate the review process. Originally scheduled for Monday, March 26, the meeting will now take place on Monday, April 2. A resolution put forward by Division 4 councilor Gordon Gunoff to hold the April 2 meeting in the evening was endorsed. Gunoff said he was hoping to facilitate more public attendance at the meet-

ing, which will get underway at 6:30 p.m. in the RM council chambers. If there are sufficient verified signatures on the petition, council is obliged to forward the petition to the provincial Minister of Municipal Affairs, who will then decide if and when a referendum is to be held. The term of office for recently-elected RM councilors in Divisions 1, 3, 5, and 7 will be for four years. They will be up for election in October, 2016. Councilors elected in Divisions 2, 4, 6 and 8 will be in office for two years, with elections scheduled for October, 2014. An election for Reeve will take place in October, 2012.

n response to complaints from residents about the need for more facilities to dispose of grass clippings during the summer and fall months, Martensville city council has opted to establish a seasonal collection site on a municipally-owned piece of property. At its last meeting March 6, councilors heard that the proposal is to restrict the site to grass clippings, and that the organic material will be collected periodically by public works employees and removed to a site near the municipal lagoon, where it can be composted naturally. Mike Grosh, Director of Public Works for the City of Martensville, said the collection site within the city limits will be monitored by cameras similar to those already set up at the aquatic centre. The cameras are relatively inexpensive and highly effective, he noted. “They are battery-operated, motion-activated cameras and the image is recorded on a card,” Grosh explained. “It shows the date and the time on each photo, so it’s very effective when it comes to enforcing the bylaws.” Similar cameras were set up last summer at the aquatic centre in response to acts of vandalism, noted Dave Bosch, Martensville Director of Recreation and Community Services. “Since we put the cameras in at the pool, the incidents have stopped,” said Bosch. A majority of councilors were in favour of trying the composting arrangement for the coming season, noting that other options will also be explored with All-Green Recycling, a subsidiary company of Loraas Disposal, which currently contracts with the city for garbage and recycling collection.

Arsenic and Old Lace

Community theatre showcases classic comedy this weekend By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

eading into its fourth annual production, the Warman Drama Club just keeps raising the bar. “We’re pretty well-established now,” commented Carol Affleck of Warman, artistic director for the club. “We’ve got a very solid core group of people, and our goal is to stage productions that are a joy to watch. We want people to come out and have a good time.” And few comedies can deliver the laughs like “Arsenic and Old Lace”. Based on the classic film starring Cary Grant, the live show is slated for this weekend at the Brian King Centre in Warman. The plot revolves around a pair of elderly ladies who quietly poison lodgers out of a misguided sense of altruism. “It sounds kind of bizarre, but it’s actually very, very funny and has a lot of cute and clever scenes,” said Affleck. While tickets are selling well, Affleck says there are still seats available. The vibrancy and quality of community theatre may surprise some people, she said. A veteran of 30 years of community theatre clubs in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Affleck also knows the business at the professional level. She works full-time as Artist Services Coordinator at Persephone The-

atre in Saskatoon. She says while the professional theatre scene in Saskatoon is growing, thanks to Persephone Theatre’s new facility at River Landing, there’s also a shift in community theatre away from the big city to smaller centres. “Gateway Theatre was always a strong amateur theatre company in Saskatoon,” noted Affleck. “It was around for 40 years, but it’s now folded, and that’s left actors, directors and set designers looking for other outlets.” Thankfully, the Warman Drama Club came along at just

the right time. “My husband and I moved to Warman a little over four years ago,” said Affleck. “That was right about the time that Jamie McCrae was getting this club organized. I jumped in, and it’s been a great experience.” Affleck said the club has been able to attract not only local actors, but also several veterans of Gateway productions, including Michael Neuert, Russ Ramsden and Darren Zimmer. Ramsden, a retired drama teacher, is directing this year’s production. That wealth of experience,

combined with the exuberance of a community-based theatre club, means the quality of the productions is consistently high. Affleck said it’s important for community theatre clubs to pick high-caliber comedy scripts. “When you only put on one play a year, it has to be one that people want to come and see,” she said. “A comedy works best.” There is also close cooperation with other theatre groups, both professional and community-based. “We have been able to borrow set flats from the Langham Theatrical Compa-

ny and props from Persephone Theatre,” said Affleck. “It’s nice to have those supports.” Affleck said the measure of a good performance is when patrons leave the theatre, thinking ‘gosh, that looked so easy and natural’. “That’s when you know that all the little details were taken care of,” she said. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun, and that’s why we do it.” FUNDS PUT BACK INTO COMMUNITY ARTS There’s also another motivation that involves giving back to the community. “The performing arts are

a very important part of any community,” said Affleck. “So part of the goal of the club is to raise money for worthwhile projects here in Warman. With each of our productions, we’ve donated whatever money is left over after our expenses are covered to different projects. We’ve put money into the drama program at the high school, we’ve given money to the new arts program at KidSport, and also to the Warman Sport and Cultural Village - now known as the Legends Centre.” She said the productions staged by the club are a “winwin” opportunity for people to support the arts in more ways than one. “We invite people to come out and have a good time, and know the money is going to a good cause,” she added. Tickets are available by calling 978-1339.

Redesigned website gives city fresh new, interactive look By TERRY PUGH

he City of Martensville website has a brand new look. Along with that fresh design are several new interactive tools that allow residents of the city and the surrounding area to stay abreast of news, events and services in Martensville. The new website – www. martensville.ca – has been completely revamped and upgraded, according to Bonnie Gorelitza, Director of Planning for Martensville and one of the main coordinators of the website project. “It’s a big step up, and it’s been a long time in the making, but we’re pretty happy with the results,” Gorelitza said in an interview late last week. “It’s been a year-long

process involving council, staff and an outside web developer. We were looking for a more dynamic website that will be able to engage the citizens more fully. We recognize the demographics of our community and their computer capabilities and availability. It’s a very young demographic and they want to be able to access information electronically and get it very quickly.” The website went live online on Thursday, March 9, but it will be constantly tweaked to keep things up to date and relevant, Gorelitza noted. “It’s really a work in progress,” she said. “We are constantly refreshing the content and adding new things to it. There are modules where people can sign up for instant notification on things that they’re interested in, whether that’s municipal services like

Tenders sought for drainage ditch project By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

enders have gone out for the East Drainage Ditch project to be built this spring east of Osler. The large-scale project is aimed at easing flood concerns in the Town of Osler, as well as the RM of Corman Park between the town and the South Saskatchewan River. The project was conceived as a joint effort between the municipalities, and is part of a larger effort to reduce flooding in the area. It is also aimed at allowing better water drainage in Osler as the town expands its residential footprint. The deadline for bids for the project is Tuesday, March 27. The work consists of approximately 21,000 cubic meters of excavation and approximately 170 lineal meters of culvert installation and related work. The ditch will be constructed along the north side of Blumenheim Road from the Town of Osler to a natural drainage coulee that will then carry the water to the river. Work on the project is expected to begin this spring, once the successful bid is chosen. The work is being done under the supervision of Catterall and Wright, an engineering firm contracted by the Town of Osler for the project.

TEMPORARY ROAD The RM of Corman Park council resolved at its meeting on Monday, March 12 to allow construction equipment

needed for the project to be transported on Blumenheim Road. The road, which has a thin membrane of pavement on the road bed, has a 10 tonne weight limit, and the council resolved to make an exception for the construction equipment loads being moved by truck. However, the RM council was not in favour of allowing truck transport of excavated material along Blumenheim Road, noting the large number of heavy loads would severely damage the roadbed and road surface. The alternative endorsed by the RM council is for the contractors to build a temporary road for hauling the dirt. The temporary road is estimated to cost about $100,000, but because the ditch project is being done

under a federal-provincialmunicipal cost-sharing program, up to 75 percent of the cost of the temporary road may be subsidized by senior levels of government. Corman Park Reeve Mel Henry said an estimated 1,000 truckloads required for the project would result in damage to Blumenheim Road that would far exceed the cost of building a temporary road. “It could cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix that road if that many loads are allowed on it,” he said during the council meeting. Discussions on the project and its associated costs and funding sources are continuing between the RM of Corman Park, the Town of Osler and the watershed association.

Open house SaskPower transmission line projects In order to address the electrical capacity and reliability issues in and around Saskatoon as well as to help meet the growing electrical needs of Saskatchewan’s potash industry, SaskPower is proposing to construct a new switching station and substation north of Saskatoon, a new switching station northeast of Saskatoon in the Aberdeen area, a new transmission line connecting these two stations and a new transmission line from the new Aberdeen Switching Station to the existing Wolverine Switching Station. Initial consultations started in March of 2011 and environmental and other studies were completed from May through September. Based on the results of these studies and input received from landowners, elected officials and other stakeholders, preferred routes have now been selected for these new transmission lines. SaskPower invites anyone interested in these projects to participate in the next round of consultations by attending one of the following open house information sessions. For additional information, please call SaskPower Environmental Programs at 1 800-667-4749.

Wall sends mixed boom/bust messages

Excluded from citizenship by an accident of birth

o are we booming or busting? Or is it a little a both? Certainly, when it comes to the complex Saskatchewan economic that depends on the whims of the weather, agricultural markets and the ups and downs of the natural resource cycle, it can be a little of both. One thing is certain, though: A tougher hold-thespending budget will mean rural communities bear more than their share of the cuts. It has always worked that way and there’s little reason to think that will change even if it’s a government with a strong rural base that is making the cuts. For those of you who might have missed them, Premier Brad Wall has been dropping strong hints of a tough budget on March 21 that will see the elimination of some government programs. Wall also told reporters that other programs – even on the social services side – might receive funding cuts. (Interestingly, Wall’s last hints of a tough budget came just as he was leaving for Ireland to recruit skilled workers.) Already, the Saskatchewan Premier has made it clear that one such cut will mean smaller communities and cities paying more for RCMP services. As noted earlier, this is all too typical of austerity measure budgets where costefficiency is always the first consideration. And whenever bureaucrats and politicians start talking about cost-efficiency in program delivery, it is almost always rural Sas-

anada observed International Women’s Day on Thursday, March 8. But incredibly, some Canadians are still excluded from citizenship solely because they were born to unwed mothers over 65 years ago. They are part of a group known as Lost Canadians: people who are excluded from citizenship or are having difficulty claiming it because of the date or circumstances of their birth. Among them are some of the 22,000 children who were born overseas to Canadian servicemen and arrived in Canada with their war bride mothers during or immediately after the Second World War. Some were born out of wedlock because their fathers could not get the required permission to marry. Such cases were common and inevitable under wartime conditions. After a lifetime in Canada, these war bride children are still excluded from citizenship by an obscure provision of the 1946 Citizenship Act. Jackie Scott was born in England in 1945, out of wedlock, to a Canadian soldier and a British mother. Because of poor health, she was unable to travel to Canada with her mother until 1948. Shortly after her arrival, her parents were married in Toronto. By her parents’ marriage she was legitimated retroactively from birth under Ontario law, but is still being denied citizenship. She is now suing the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration in the Federal Court. Marion Vermeersch, a retired social worker living in Simcoe, Ont., was born in England in 1944 to a Canadian soldier and a British mother. Her father, born in Scotland, had arrived in Canada in 1926 as a British Home Child. Marion was born out of wedlock, but after her father was wounded in action her parents were able to marry in England before he was repatriated to Canada. She arrived in Canada with her mother in May 1946 and has lived here ever since. When she applied for her first passport in 2003, she was informed to her shock and disbelief that she was not a Canadian citizen. She was told instead to apply for a Permanent Resident Card, and now travels on a British passport. Tom Kent (1922-2011) served briefly in the 1960s as deputy minister of Citizenship and Immigration. In 2009, asked to comment on one of these cases, he replied: ‘Exclusion from citizenship, in cases such as you describe, is entirely contrary to the philosophy of Canadian citizenship as I have always understood it. The people you know have not been treated fairly. The dismissive attitude of officials, as reported, should be unacceptable to the Minister.’ Jason Kenney - The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration has recently stated that the government will take steps to end the automatic acquisition of citizenship by so-called passport babies whose mothers enter Canada solely for the purpose of giving birth to a Canadian child. He should give equal attention to the plight of those Canadians who by an accident of birth are still excluded from citizenship of the only country they know.

katchewan that pays the price. Also worth watching in the upcoming provincial budget will the formula for education funding that is expected to be overhauled. Again, details are sketchy at this point, but you can bet rural communities will be affected. The question, however, is why is all this necessary? Haven’t we been receiving near daily reminders from the Wall government that we are in a time of near unprecedented growth and prosperity? So is this a boom or a bust? Yes, governments at least attempt to be slightly more disciplined with their spending in the first budget of a term. Yes, “good times” also happen to be a “good time” to keep spending in check. And, yes, the Sask. Party did take the high road in last November’s election campaign, talking about the extravagance of the NDP platform. That said, the Sask. Party wasn’t exactly shy about promising new hospitals in North Battleford and Moose Jaw or replacements in smaller communities like Kipling and Radville. Where was all this newfound spending discipline last term when government spending increased nearly 30 per cent in four years? If we were headed for rough times shouldn’t Wall’s

self – telling us exactly how much better provincial voters are doing under a Sask. Party regime. For much of its first term, this also happened to be the reality. But as economic conditions have returned to what might be considered more normal expectations, it’s been a little difficult for the government to simply shut down its propaganda machine. So when it comes to the question of whether we are in a boom or a bust, signs suggest that it might be a little of both. The problem is, Wall seems to have a little difficulty talking about the latter – especially when it translates into cuts in rural Saskatchewan and elsewhere.

Sask. Valley Foodgrains Bank quietly working to help alleviate world hunger By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

fundraising supper in Warman last weekend brought in $21,500 for the Sask Valley Foodgrains Bank. Combined with its annual charity auction coming up in late June, the organization will likely raise at least $130,000 this year. It’s all money that will go towards helping to alleviate hunger in the world – one person at a time, says Dave Meier of Star City, Saskatchewan Regional Coordinator for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFB). “This marks the 29th anniversary for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank,” explained Meier in an interview at the fundraising supper. “It originated in the 1970s as the Mennonite Food Bank, but they opened it up in 1983 and let other groups join. It’s made up of 15 church agencies, and the vision of the organization, which is nation-wide, is to create a world without hunger.” Meier said it all started when one person visited Bangladesh and witnessed the mass starvation that was occurring in the 1970s. “He came back to Manitoba and saw huge surpluses of grain out in the fields, and thought: “’there’s something wrong with this picture, and we have to do something about it.’ He thought he could make a difference, and today it is one of the largest private food aid and development organizations in the world,” said Meier. “This year we’ve raised over $14 million across Canada so far. In Saskatchewan, we’ve raised $1.9 million so far this year, compared to $1.6 million a year ago.” Meier said while an estimated 28,000 people still die every day because they don’t get enough to eat, the CFB believes the problem still needs to be tackled, even if it does seem overwhelming at times. “The Foodgrains Bank is a Christian response to hunger,” he said. “It’s our mandate as Christians to love our neighbor, and that’s really what it’s about.” Meier said there has been a steady increase in the amount of funds raised by CFB every year. He attributes that to the generosity of Canadians, and to the track record of the food grains bank in delivering aid and development programs. “Over those 29 years we’ve been in existence, we’ve averaged 95 percent of what we shipped getting to where it’s supposed to go,” he said. “And our administration costs are less than 10 per cent of those overall costs. We rely heavily on volunteers, and in fact our staff also puts in a lot of volunteer time as well.” Meier said the Sask Valley Foodgrains Bank is one of the strongest local organizations contributing to the overall national effort. “Over the last few years, the proceeds from the Sask Valley auction have been running in the neighbourhood of around $110,000 to $120,000,” he said. “The funds we raise are then matched four to one by the government through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). So that works out to about $25 million a year. Last year we were active in 35 countries, and helped about 2.3 million people.” Meier said recent changes have allowed the CFB to pur-

Thefts, disturbances, collisions all part of Mounties’ week Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Acting Commander Warman RCMP Detachment

TRAFFIC OFFENCES On March 5th at 7:49 p.m., the Warman RCMP along with Saskatoon Police Service, and MD Ambulance received a call of a two vehicle collision, 5 kilometres west of Saskatoon on Highway #14, involving an eastbound Ford Taurus and a westbound Ford Tempo. The lone occupant of the Ford Tempo, a 36 year old male from the Calgary area was pronounced deceased at the scene. The two occupants of the Taurus, an elderly couple from Elbow, Saskatchewan, were transported to hospital with injuries. Though the cause of the accident is still under investigation, preliminary indicators have led police to believe that the operator of the Tempo may have performed an unsafe passing maneuver which resulted in the head-on collision. The road and weather conditions were not believed to be a factor. The traffic was re-directed for several hours while the RCMP Traffic analyst completed his investigation. DRUNK DRIVER On March 5th, shortly before midnight, Warman RCMP observed a vehicle driving in an erratic manner for the weather and road conditions. The vehicle was stopped and the driver showed signs of impairment and was detained for breath

tests. A 36 year old male from Big River First Nations was arrested for impaired driving after failing the roadside breath instrument. He was returned to the Warman RCMP Detachment where further tests were conducted which resulted in the man providing samples that were twice the legal limit. The man was later released to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court. A female passenger in the vehicle was arrested when she became confrontational and attempted to spray officers with hand sanitizer. A 25 year old female, from the Big River First Nation appeared in Saskatoon Provincial Court the following morning on allegations that she had breached her Conditional Sentence Order.

DANGEROUS ATV STUNT On March 6th, at 7:30 p.m., police were contacted and advised that a man was operating an all terrain vehicle in Osler and was towing several children on a sled, none of whom were wearing helmets. The ATV operator was located by police a short while later and was issued a warning for failing to wear a helmet, and for failing to ensure that his passengers wore helmets. Police would like to warn ATV operators that they are required to wear helmets, and that any passengers, whether on the ATV, or being towed by the ATV, are also required to wear helmets.

Radisson RCMP along with Langham Fire Department responded to a single vehicle collision on highway 16. The driver of a Jeep Wagoneer, a 41 year old male from Spiritwood, lost control of his vehicle and entered the median, causing extensive damage to his vehicle. The driver refused medical treatment after being checked at the scene for minor scratches. He was charged for driving at speeds that are greater than reasonable and safe under the Traffic Safety Act.

NEAR MISS On March 7th at 7:07 a.m. the Warman RCMP responded to

a 911 call that the driver of a Dodge 3/4 ton truck pulling a 5th wheel had to take evasive action to avoid an collision after being passed by a westbound vehicle. Upon arrival the truck and trailer unit were located in the ditch with the trailer up on its side. The driver was not injured, but the trailer had to be towed away.

Unique concert supports humanitarian organization’s efforts in Eastern Europe By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

t’s a musical sound that’s not heard often in Saskatchewan, but the pan flute is one of the most beautiful and haunting instruments ever invented. A pair of concerts by Liselotte Rokyta, one of the masters of the pan flute, is scheduled for later this month. Accompanied by Andre Knevel, a world-renowned pianist and organist, Rokyta is making her first appearance in the province. A concert is slated for Wednesday, March 21 at Bethel Christian Reformed Church at 7:30 pm. The church is located in the RM of Corman Park just east of Highway 11, two kilometers north of Warman Road. The second concert takes place at Valley Christian Academy in Osler on Tuesday, March 22 at 7:30 pm. Both concerts offer free admission, with a goodwill offering taken up. It’s a tremendous opportunity to take in a unique concert while supporting a

humanitarian, charitable cause, according to Rev. Brian Lise of Warman. Lise is Assistant Director of Eurovangelism/EuroAid, a Christian charitable organization that works with local people in Eastern Europe and Russia to assist those who are struggling to survive, regardless of race, age, religion or background. “We work in Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, Romania, Albania and other countries in that part of Europe,” explained Lise in an interview March 7. “We provide humanitarian aid to families and individuals in need.” Lise said the agency works in partnership with local people in those countries. “We don’t send people from here to do that work,” he said. “We work with the local churches and the local pastors.” Lise said since the fall of communism in many Eastern European countries, the organization has not experienced opposition from governments in those countries. However, he noted, there are other challenges, including the presence of organized

crime syndicates that victimize poor people. Lise noted that the organization has a good working relationship with existing churches in the region, most of which are of the Eastern Orthodox tradition. “We’re more of a Protestant bent, and there are some differences,” he said. “But we don’t ask what brand of Christianity a person is. We just provide whatever help we can, and overall we have a good relationship with the churches over there.” Lise said Knevel and Rokyta have been doing benefit concerts for the charity for the past six years, but this marks the first time they’ve performed in Saskatchewan. Lise first got to know the musicians several years ago, when they performed in Toronto’s Roy Thompson Hall. “They were looking to do a dress rehearsal for the concert,” recalled Lise. “So they decided to do a benefit concert in a church. I knew a number of musicians, as well as choir people and a director, so that’s where it started about fifteen years ago. For the past six years, they’ve

Liselotte Rokyta, along with Andre Knevel (not pictured) will perform two benefit concerts on March 21 and 22 in support of Eurovangelism/ EuroAid, a Christian organization that provides humanitarian aid to disadvantaged people in Eastern Europe and Russia.

done the concerts specifically for Eurovangelism.” He noted that while the musicians’ expenses are paid, the money raised at the con-

cert will go directly to the charity. Lise said people may be surprised at how beautiful the pan flute sounds live in

concert. “This lady is an absolute master of the instrument,” he stated. “It will be an experience for the audience.”

CRIMES AGAINST PEOPLE On March 2nd, shortly after midnight, the Delisle RCMP attended a complaint in Delisle concerning a man who attended to a residence in violation of a restraint order which directed him to refrain from contacting the complainant.

Warman RCMP responded to a disturbance at the Osler Skating Rink. A 34-year-old male from Dundurn was intoxicated and attempting to fight with the other users of the rink while a charity hockey game was ongoing. The man had left the arena prior to the RCMP arrival. He was located a short distance away. The man was arrested for causing a disturbance and subsequently resisted attempts to place him under arrest. He was taken into custody and lodged in police holding cells overnight. The man was released on charges of causing a disturbance and resisting arrest.

The man was arrested and was taken to the Warman RCMP Detachment for the purpose of providing breath samples. Investigating officers then learned that the man had an infant child that had been left alone in his residence without anyone to care for the child. An officer was dispatched immediately to the Martensville residence and found the child unharmed. The child was turned over to the mother who had been contacted a short while later. A 28-year-old man from Martensville was released on charges of impaired driving and child abandonment.

Warman Cheer Classic is Saskatchewan’s largest competition

hen Leslie Stevenson, Susan Bayne and Edith Arthur launched the very first Warman Cheer Classic competition in 2007, they knew it would catch on. They just didn’t know it would get so popular so fast. Five years later, the event has gone beyond everyone’s expectations. The largest competition of its kind in Saskatchewan, it draws competitors of all ages and skill levels It’s also gaining a reputation as a great show that you just don’t want to miss. Over 6000 competitors have taken part in the Warman Cheer Classic since it started. This year, the event is expected to draw well over 1,400 cheerleaders to Warman High School. This marks the sixth straight year that

Warman’s Junior and Senior High School teams are competing in the Cheer Classic. The Juniors (grades 7-8) are entering the competition with 29 cheerleaders. The Seniors (grades 9-12) will be competing with 17 cheerleaders. There are seven coaches on staff for the high school cheer program. Leslie Stevenson’s leadership in the sport of Cheerleading was recognized last year when she was awarded the Provincial Coach of the Year honour. Not content to just coach the high school cheer teams, Stevenson reached out to cheerleader hopefuls in the larger community and started the Warman Ultimate Cheerleading program in 2009. In just two years, it has more than quadrupled in size from 30 athletes to 150 athletes. Stevenson’s eleven coaches that assist her with Warman Ultimate Cheerleading are mostly former or current Warman High School

students. The 12 coaches work with all age groups. There are six levels of teams on the Ultimate squad: Pearls (ages 5 and under); Rubies (ages 8 and under); Emeralds (ages 11 and under); Amethysts (ages 14 and under); Sapphires (ages 18 & under). This year Stevenson added an Ultimate “Elite” Peridot team. Elite Peridot is made up of the top 18 athletes from amethysts and the sapphires teams. Team placement was in September after a great tryout. This team travels around North America. We look forward to keeping their training up over the spring and summer and having another team placement this September. Next year we will add another Ultimate “Open Adult” team Topaz. We will start training athletes that are 17 and older this spring to get them ready for September. We are very excited to offer this team to Warman and anyone is invited out to try!

The groups travel to various competitions across North America, this year we have travelled to Edmonton with 5 teams both WUC and WHS and WUC has travelled to Tacoma Washington for Nationals in February. We are excited to look into new exciting competitions to travel to next season. Cheerleaders, present and future, are always welcome at the spring and fall sessions offered by Warman Ultimate Cheerleading Association. Stevenson also provides summer Ultimate Cheerleading camps, conveniently located in Warman, during the month of August. For additional information on the Warman Ultimate Cheerleading program, feel free to visit the website at www.warmanultimatecheerleading.com or give Leslie Stevenson a call at 306-241-8558.

Vipers eliminate Raiders, take on Wolfpack in Bantam AA playoff series By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he Sask Valley Diamond Pharmacy Vipers are one step closer to the provincial Bantam AA championship. The Vipers polished off the Prince Albert Venice House Raiders 9-3 in the third and final game of their playoff series last Saturday at the Legends Centre in Warman. They now take on the North East Wolfpack to determine the North Division representative in the provincial final. The first game of that best-of-three series was slated for Tuesday, March 13, following the Gazette press deadline. Results can be viewed online at www. sbaahl.ca . The second game goes Saturday, March 17 at 7 pm at the Northern Lights Palace in Melfort. Game 3, if necessary, goes Tuesday, March 20 at the Legends Centre in Warman. After being edged 6-5 in Prince Albert in the second

game of the opening series the week before, the Vipers weren’t about to make the same mistake twice. “We had a rough game last Monday, and the boys rebounded well tonight,” said Vipers head coach Shaun Priel after the gameon Saturday. “We really wanted to come back and close it out at home. Sometimes facing adversity early in the playoffs isn’t a bad thing because you can learn from it. The loss last weekend gave us an opportunity to tell the kids: ‘You only get what you earn, and you earn the win with effort.’ They obviously took that message to heart tonight.” Liam Maley and Terrell Draude each contributed three goals and an assist, while Logan Schatz had two goals and two assists. Connor Navrot notched the other goal and added two assists. Scotty Stewart also had a three-point night with three assists. “I was pretty pumped going into this game,” said Maley, a first-year player

who hails from Blackstrap Lake. “I knew this could be our last game, so I just went out and gave it my all.” Maley scored the Vipers’ first goal and assisted on Draude’s marker in the first period that put the home team up 2-0. Prince Albert rallied late in the opening frame and tied it up early in the second period on a power play with goals by Matt Campese and Reed Gunville. But Maley’s goal at the 8-minute mark of the second opened the floodgates, as Sask Valley scored six goals in six minutes. Tanner Fiddler of the Raiders made it 8-3 going into the second intermission. Connor Navrot of Mar-

tensville, another first-year player in the Bantam AA system, notched his power play goal late in the third to seal the victory. He said the team was determined right from the start. “As soon as I walked in the dressing room before the game, I just felt that vibe,” Navrot said. “Everyone was ready to play. I think the guys felt we were going to go out and take it. You could see it in their eyes.” Navrot credited the team’s defense and goaltending for keeping the game close in the early going. “Our goalie made some awesome saves when we needed Continued on Page 24 Please see “VIPERS”

Playoff-bound Blades in dark about first round opponent They left four games to spare when the Saskatoon Blades clinched a fourth consecutive berth into the Western Hockey Playoffs with a 6-2 triumph over the Wheat Kings in Brandon Friday night…in Game 68 of the 72game campaign. But, with three games remaining, going into the final week of the regular season, the Bridge City Bunch can finish anywhere from 5th to 8th place in the Eastern Conference and play anyone of four different teams when the Ed Chynoweth Cup tournament opens next week! “That was our goal from the start of the year,” explained Blades’ assistant coach Dave Struch following the Friday victory. “We’ve had three successful years leading to this one where we’ve clinched a little sooner. But, it’s nice to be back in again this year and proceed from here.” The Blades are the only continuous, same-city charter member of the Western Hockey League and have qualified for the playoffs for the 35th time in 46 seasons. However, with a 38-28-3 record for 79 points, and three games remaining going into the week, Saskatoon is not looking to go into “coast” mode. “We want to finish strong,” said Blades’ Gener-

it Union Centre. Going into the week, the Blades were in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 79 points… one back of Regina and Kootenay and one point ahead of Brandon. On paper, the Pats, Ice and Wheat Kings had tougher schedules this week, giving Saskatoon a shot at finishing fifth or sixth and avoiding a first round playoff match-up against one of the division pennant-winning Edmonton Oil Kings and/or Moose Jaw Warriors. *****

ONE MAN’S PICKS FOR BLADES AWARD WINNERS – Several media members were asked to vote on some of the top awards that will be handed out following Saturday’s regular-season finale against Swift Current. I’ll take a stab at more than just those… Most Valuable Player: Andrey Makarov; Most Gentlemanly Player: Josh Nicholls; Rookie of the Year: Brett Stovin; Most Improved Player: Lukas Sutter; Most Dedicated Player: Jesse Paradis; Defenceman of the Year: Dalton Thrower; Brian Skrudland Trophy (Best Defensive Forward): Michael Burns; Hardest Working Player: Brent Benson; Diamond In the Rough: Alex Moodie; Hardest Hitter: Darren Dietz. ***** BLADES PLAYER OF THE WEEK – Flip a coin between the Bridge City Bunch’s Imports! Russian goaltender Andrey Makarov stopped 85 of 89 shots (.955 save percentage), including 34 saves last Tuesday in Prince Albert for a 2nd shutout this season. Meantime, Czech winger Matej Stransky had six points in three games (1 G, 5 A) with a +4 rating. Overall, the Dallas Stars’ draft pick leads the Blades with 36 goals and 72 points while his 36 assists is tied for the team lead.

Valley Christian Academy (VCA) in Osler hosted a Conference tournament on March 9-10, hosting Asquith, Saskatoon Christian, Rosthern Junior College (RJC), Hanley, Cudworth, and Saskatoon CCA. Saskatoon Christian defeated Asquith 7162, while RJC beat Hanley 70-46, and VCA won 72-30 over Cudworth. RJC’s game against Hanley was a back and forth battle with the lead changing hands several times before Rosthern took control in the final few minutes of the third quarter and carried the lead until the end. VCA was in control throughout their game against Cudworth. They used their offensive muscle under the nets to control rebounds and a well-run offence to keep the ball away from their opponents. VCA coach Brad Wall said his team’s goal for the weekend was to finish in first or second spot in order to advance to Regionals. VCA has SHSAA banners for silver and bronze medals at SHSAA basketball Provincials hanging in their gym and would like to complete the set, Wall noted. Saskatoon CCA then defeated Saskatoon Christian 67-40. RJC lost 63-56 to VCA, while Saskatoon Christian defeated RJC 76-68. In the final VCA lost 80-73 to Saskatoon CCA. RJC now heads to Melfort for a Regional tournament, while VCA is hosting a different Regional playoff, both set for March 16-17. VCA will play Regina Western Christian at 8 p.m. on March 16.

3A Girls

Delisle hosted Clavet, Outlook, and Dalmeny in a Conference 6 tournament on March 10. The Clavet Cougars defeated Delisle 67-27 in the first game. The Cougars dominated the game, using their height advantage to control rebounds and used a tight defence to keep Delisle shooting from outside. Jami Hill-Wilcox, Delisle coach, said she wasn’t really surprised by the outcome of the game. “We have a young team. We lost eight players from last year, but we’ve improved all year,” she explained. “We came in hoping for an upset, but deep down we knew that was unlikely.” Clavet was the gold medallist at last year’s Provincials and is hoping for a chance to regain the title. Clavet lost seven players through graduation, so there are a lot of new, young faces on the team. “Our season has been up and down with a lot of injuries at the beginning of the year,” said Heith Drennan, Clavet coach. “We’re playing well and have a lot of potential though.” Outlook beat Dalmeny 62-48 in the second game. Dalmeny coach Mike Fieber said his players had a good game against Outlook. “We got close, but we had a slump and couldn’t catch up after that,” he said. “We didn’t play the full 40 minutes.” In the final Clavet beat Outlook 40-38. Clavet heads to Regina Christian School for a Regional tournament March 16-17.

TEAM EFFORT

The Warman Wildcats Bantam hockey team gave it their all this past season, making it all the way to the Bantam B Northern Provincial Final. The team won the first game of the two-game, total-point series 4-2 in Spiritwood, but lost Game 2 in Warman last Sunday by a score of 9-4 to the Spiritwood Timber Wolves. Warman took an early lead in the first period, but Spiritwood came back in the latter stages of the game to salt it away. Warman coach Wayne Piper gave his players a lot of credit, saying they showed character and heart. “They didn’t give up,” Piper said after the last game. “They played hard. I’m very proud of these guys. They’re a very good group. I felt this year we had a very good opportunity to put a provincial pennant in this rink and we came very close. We didn’t get the bounces, but that’s hockey. We went further than a lot of other teams in the province.” Team members include (not in order) Jared Reddekopp, Isaiah Walker, Tyler Sawatzky, Joshua Misskey, Kyle Piper, Parker Heinrichs, Justin Laskowski, Joel Seiferling, Brandon McKimmon, Austyn Schenstead, Brady Macpherson, Mikey Du Russel, Ethan Landry, Isaac Jackson, Keenan Guenther, Spencer Longfellow, Wayne Piper (coach), Syd Laskowski (Assistant Coach), Chad McFarland (Trainer), Mark Longfellow (Manager).

The Snowmobile Rally for March 10th at Borden was been cancelled due to lack of snow, but the Community Centre Preservation Committee still went ahead with its Ham supper from 5 - 7 p.m., drawing for the cash prizes on tickets sold and door prizes. The supper proceeds are for renovations for the Borden Community Centre, so the BCCPC needs the support of the community for this fundraiser.

BORDEN MUSEUM Winning prizes at the Borden Museum’s whist drive on February 16th were Olive Foley of B.C. and Stella Skwara for ladies, Jean Hryniuk for the men. There were 4 tables of card players on hand and the museum served lunch. The Museum have prints of Borden in the early 1940’s 12” x 32” ( 4 prints put together) painted by George Hynd and these are for sale at a cost of $120.00. They have sold 4/5 and they will only print 5 more so if you want a copy call Heather Silcox at 997-4919. FRIENDSHIP CLUB The Borden Friendship Club held a Kaiser Tournament on Tuesday, February 28th, with 21 out to play. Winning for high scores were Jean Sawchyn from Borden, Donna Hunchak & Justina Waldner from Langham, Clayton Clark & Art Flath from Radisson and Terry Petriew, Borden. Low score was won by Irene Dreiger from Langham, and then the Club served lunch. On February 29th the Club held their monthly potluck supper with close to 50 out for a delicious meal and to listen to BJ and Friends who played and sang a variety of gospel, country and old time music. In the group were Bill & Vi

Johnston of Waldheim, Jim Andres of Rosthern, Ken Friesen of Saskatoon and Ruben & Martha Rempel of Borden. There were no February birthdays to celebrate, but there was a cake for dessert.

Leaders of the club are Sonia Sutherland and Alana Gunsch and the judges for the evening were Matt Fairbrother, David Buckingham, Gloria Derbowka and Lorraine Olinyk(replacing June Nichol who was ill) and timekeeper was Sonia Sutherland.

NEW ZEALAND TRIP I had a great trip to New Zealand with my son Todd, daughter Sheri(Glenn), Duncan & Rachel Sutherland and to visit my oldest son Bryan Pidwerbesky and his wife Helen and my grandson Nikolai, who live on an acreage outside Christchurch. I didn’t feel any earthquakes while there but they said there was a small one and while we were all down in Queenstown there was one of 4.3 magnitude that had put the power off for awhile. We did see a lot of damaged and demolished buildings/homes but did not go downtown to the most severely damaged area. We held a Christmas dinner and exchanged gifts and the 50th birthday party for Bryan and Helen was held with about 45 in attendance. We all went down to Queenstown on February 26th, stopping overnight at Lake Tekapo in a home and at Queenstown we were in a Holiday home that had 9 beds for all of us. We all went up on the Gondola, everyone but me went on go carts down a luge track and then I went on a coal fired steamship to Walter Peak High country farm where everyone fed the sheep, red deer, Scottish Highland cattle, but not the alpacas and then had tea(lunch). The Sutherlands went white water rafting while I did that and then on the way home Duncan bungee jumped off a bridge over a river gorge. The Sutherlands had driven down from Auckland while my son Todd & I flew right to Christchurch, and so they saw many more attractions

21 on the North Island such as the glow-worm caves, tubing in the caves and a Polynesian event, then the ferry ride across to the South Island. Gas down there was $2.14 –$2.20 a litre and the meals were very expensive- you couldn’t get much for under $20 and coffee is $3.50 – $5 a cup, but minimum wage is $15/hr and you don’t have to tip. GST is 15% but is always included in the total and not added on and they have no pennies, nickels or quarters. The 10 cent coin is Canadian blank copper pennies that they buy and stamp, and they have 20 cent and 50 cent coins plus $1 and $2 gold colored coins of different sizes and the same paper bills as Canada. We all enjoyed the trip except for the 13/14 hour plane trip across the ocean and waiting in airports at Vancouver & Calgary coming home.
