Warman summer garbage pickup schedule goes back to alternate weeks

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The garbage pickup schedule in Warman will not change during the summer months after all.

At its last meeting on Monday, March 26, Warman town council passed a resolution to rescind an earlier decision that would have seen garbage picked up more often during the summer months. The council then adopted a resolution endors-

ing garbage pickup and recycling pickups on alternating weeks year round.

The decision to maintain alternate weekly pickups year round was based on two factors, according to Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence.

“The first major factor was the extra cost involved,” she told the council meeting. “After further discussions with Loraas Disposal, the company which

contracts with Warman and other communities for garbage and recycling pickup, it was apparent it would have cost considerably more than we anticipated to make the change.”

The other factor was that all the other communities serviced by Loraas, including Matensville, Osler and Dalmeny, are continuing to alternate garbage and recycling pickups on an alternating weekly basis.

SKY HIGH CHEERS

The Saskatchewan Cheerleading Association Provincial Championship event was held the weekend of March 24 and 25 at Warman High School. The event drew teams from across the province. This was the second major cheerleading tournament at the school in two weeks. Warman had several teams entered in the event, and many of them took gold medals in their respective divisions.

olice services for Warman, Martensville and the rural area north and west of Saskatoon are being combined into a single RCMP detachment.

A new service agreement has been reached between the City of Martensville, the Town of Warman, and the Warman RCMP detachment that will combine the operations of the Martensville detachment, the Warman detachment, and the Warman Rural unit into a single detachment.

The agreement, which is being implemented over the next few weeks, will provide 24-hour police service to both Warman and Martensville by allowing more efficient scheduling of police personnel.

The agreement has been in the works for several weeks. It was endorsed by Warman Town Council at its meeting on Monday, March 12. Martensville City Council passed a resolution adopting the agreement at its last meeting on Tuesday, March 20.

Under the new agreement, the detachment will be administered by a staff sergeant stationed in Warman. However, a sergeant or corporal will also be stationed in Martensville to respond directly to calls in that community.

The expanded Warman detachment will incorporate the operations and personnel of the existing Martensville RCMP detachment, which operated under a separate municipal contract with the City of Martensville for the past several years. The Martensville RCMP detachment has office space in Martensville City Hall, and it is expected the new detachment will continue that arrangement.

EXPANDED COVERAGE The amalgamation of the detachments boosts the number of available officers in Martensville from 5 to 25, a move that will reduce overtime while providing round-the-clock police coverage.

The agreement allows for establishment of a Police Advisory Board to assist the Detachment Commander in planning and priority setting. The Advisory Board will consist of the Mayor, an elected councillor and a senior munici-

pal administrator from each of the two communities.

The Advisory Board is expected to meet on a monthly basis for the first little while during the transition period.

While the final details of the transition period are still being worked out, the agreement is designed to bolster police presence in both communities while retaining the existing level of service in the rural area, which also includes sub-detachments in Delisle and Radisson.

The agreement guarantees 24hour policing coverage, ensures ongoing communication through the Advisory Board, and provides “proportionate policing coverage throughout the detachment area” by taking into account population numbers and crime trends.

The new agreement may be amended by the communities or the RCMP following written notice, and each of the signatories has the option to withdraw from the agreement after 60 days of signifying their intention in writing.

POSITIVE MOVE “It’s a very positive move for everyone,” said Martensville Mayor Gordon Rutten. “It will be good for both communities because it provides 24-hour coverage. That was the big reason for this move. The citizens of our community wanted that, and it was a priority for our council. We talked about it for a long time, and recently the organizational capacity seems to have come forward to finally implement this.”

Rutten said the new RCMP agreement shows how cooperation between communities leads to better services.

“We see this joint project between Warman and Martensville as another example of regional cooperation and mutual support,” he said. “It’s a win-win situation for the residents.”

Rutten said the push for amalgamation came from the elected representatives on both councils.

“The RCMP has been supportive of the request,” he said. “But it didn’t originate with them. On a province-wide basis, the senior personnel in the RCMP have backed our request. In my experience, anytime they can respond to a community need and enhance their level of service, they will do that.”

Rutten said the inclusion of the clause allowing either community to withdraw from the agreement Continued on Page 7 Please see “RCMP DEAL”

Corman Park police chief injured during rescue effort

n 82-year old resident of Saskatoon who suffered a potentially-fatal cardiac arrest last week is on the mend at the Cardiac Care Unit of Royal University Hospital, thanks to the efforts of members of the Corman Park Police Service.

But for one of the police officers involved in the incident, it was both a rewarding and painful experience.

While helping performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the street near the RM of Corman Park office, Corman Park Police Chief Ron Boechler had his leg run over by a truck. Fortunately for Boechler, he did not suffer any broken bones, and his leg is expected to heal.

The incident occurred shortly after 1:00 pm on Wednesday, March 21, when a person entered the RM of Corman Park office on Pinehouse Drive in Saskatoon, and reported that an elderly man had collapsed on the sidewalk a short distance away. Several members of the Corman Park Police Service who were attending a training session in the building ran to the scene and immediately began CPR on the 82-year old heart attack victim.

While Sgt. Brian Fehr performed CPR compressions on the victim, Boechler used an Automated Electronic Defibrillator (AED) to try to restart the patient’s heart.

In the meantime, MD Ambulance and Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services were called and arrived shortly after. An off-duty firefighter with the Saskatoon Fire Department also happened to be on the scene as well.

As Boechler was applying the AED paddles to the victim’s chest, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower leg. He turned around to find the back wheel of a Ford Explorer rolling over his ankle. The driver of the vehicle had stopped to help, and was unaware Boechler’s leg was in the way when he decided to move the vehicle. Boechler found himself going into shock from the pain, and turned over the AED to the off-duty firefighter, who continued using the paddles until MD Ambulance personnel arrived and took charge of the scene.

Martensville High School expansion gets green light Provincial education funding formula could spell difficulties down the road for Prairie Spirit School Division

By TERRY PUGH

F

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

irst, the good news.

The expansion to the Martensville High School was given the go-ahead last week by the Saskatchewan government.

In its budget released March 22, the provincial government earmarked $4 million in funding for three capital projects, including the Martensville High School expansion project, a new school in Hudson Bay, and a new school in Leader.

The announcement was welcome news for Larry Pavloff, Chair of the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) Board of Trustees.

“The high school expansion was approved in principle,” said Pavloff in a phone interview on his way back from Regina March 21 after a prebudget briefing. “It’s a good thing, because the project is sorely needed, and we couldn’t get started until that approval was given.”

Pavloff said the $27 million expansion project will go a long way toward easing the crowded conditions in Martensville schools.

“We’ve had to add a lot of relocatables to elementary schools in Martensville,” he said. “And if we can relocate students, that will help free up some space.”

He said while the high school expansion was ap-

proved, the school division is actively working with potential corporate partners and donors to raise money for related expenses including a track and football field on the school grounds.

Pavloff was also upbeat about the increase in overall funding for education in the province in the coming year.

He noted the increase in funding for early childhood education was particularly welcome.

“We heard from the Minister of Education that $1.74 billion will be put toward education this year,” he said.

“That’s an increase of $81.8 million from last year - an overall increase of 5 per cent.

So as far as the government is concerned, they’re feeling good about being able to increase the amount allocated to education.”

But when that amount is broken down and divided up among the province’s 28 school divisions, the outlook looks rosier for some divisions than others.

SMALL INCREASE That’s where the bad news comes in.

The Prairie Spirit School Division is one of those divisions that could find itself strapped for funds down the road as a result of the implementation of the new education funding formula.

Three years after school divisions lost the ability to set education property tax rates, Education Minister Donna Harpauer revealed the new method of funding education.

She said the new model was designed to bring “equity” to the divisions - with 8 divisions getting less than they did in the past and 10 getting more.

Prairie Spirit School Division is one of those getting less.

While the government has provided $10 million in “transition funding” to ease the pain for some school divisions in the next two to three years, it is unclear how the school divisions will be able to make up the shortfall once the shortterm funding runs out.

According to a budget backgrounder from the Ministry of Education, the transition funding cushion will give PSSD a 3.0 per cent increase in funding for the 2012-13 school division fiscal year. The school division is in line for $97.6 million in funding, compared to last year’s budget of $94.8 million.

Pavloff said the transition period of three years is helpful, but in the long run, it puts the school division in a difficult position.

“There will be some increase,” he said. “But it’s not enough for the school division’s needs. Whatever money we received in this budget, I don’t see it as being adequate for what we need because of our growth.”

Pavloff said there will have to be some hard decisions made in the coming months and years as the school division crunches the numbers.

“We can’t raise the money on our own,” Pavloff noted. “We looked at the funding model, and it is clear that we are one of those school divisions that will lose a significant level of funding over the next three years.”

While revenues will drop, there won’t be any decrease in the expenses of the school division. In fact, he noted, there will almost certainly be in-

creasing costs.

“We have such a serious increase in enrollment, which means an increase in facilities, an increase in staffing levels, and we simply can’t operate on a decreased level of funding. We need an increase in funds to match our increased costs. We can’t even operate on the same amount as last year because our enrollment next year is projected to increase by 200 students throughout the division.”

Pavloff said that projected enrollment increase translates into 10 new classes of students.

Noting that most of that increase will be concentrated in Warman, Martensville, Clavet and a few other fastgrowing communities, he

said the school board gives a lot of credit to the staff of the schools, and of the division, for making things work in sometimes difficult and crowded conditions.

“We have instances where educators have had to use hallways because of lack of space,” he said. “Janitors and bus drivers and everyone else works hard and does more with less, and we appreciate that. But it’s not sustainable in the long run.”

CONTINUE TO PLEAD CASE Martensville MLA Nancy Heppner said the $10 million in mitigation funding should ease the transition for the PSSD, which she conceded will be negatively affected by the new funding model.

“We consulted with all the school divisons in the province, and it’s a fair approach for everyone,” she said in an interview March 21. “We believe the funding will be adequate, given the mitigation money added in. It’s a phased in approach.”

Heppner agreed the capital needs for education will likely increase in Martensville and Warman.

“I’ll continue to plead our case with Treasury Board and Cabinet and the Finance Minister,” she said. “There is a clear recogntion that my constituency is one of the fastestgrowing in the province and we need to keep up with capital spending and operating money for education.”

Rural Sask. survives austerity budget

THIS WEEK IN PHOTOS

As far as “austerity” budgets go, Finance Minister Ken Krawetz’s 2012-13 budget wasn’t as hard on rural Saskatchewan as some thought it might be.

In fact, there were even a couple gems set aside for some rural communities that may leave some thinking that this wasn’t an austerity budget at all.

Of course, the standard for “austerity” in rural Saskatchewan was set relatively high 19 and 20 years ago when NDP budgets designed to reduce the Progressive Conservative debt cut deep into the heart of the province. Tax increases and cuts to highways spending and the GRIP program in 1992 followed by the closure of 52 rural hospitals in 1993 clearly left lasting scars on the rural landscape.

Last Wednesday’s Saskatchewan Party budget inflicted no such deep wounds ... although a few of the cuts will certainly be felt.

The government’s “efficiencies list” of program spending cuts included an increase on the cap of the seniors and children’s drug plan to $20 (from $15) that will pinch all provincial citizens.

Similarly, the $25 additional costs (to $275) of the Senior Citizens’ Ambulance Assistance plan deductible might be more felt in rural Saskatchewan that has a higher percentage of seniors.

The elimination of Enterprise Regions at a $4-million saving will also take a bigger toll on rural people that benefited from the provincial government’s help in economic

Closures of two northern field offices in Cumberland House and Pelican Narrows plus a third in Moosomin (where conservation office staff will be consolidated in Melville) also stings.

But a lot of rural communities also received a lot of direct benefits in this budget.

For starters, $5.5 million for the Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) program suggests rural people are on their way to better emergency care. Also, there was $42.7 million to begin construction of seven previously announced long-term care facilities in Biggar, Kelvington, Kipling, Kerrobert, Maple Creek, Meadow Lake and Prince Albert as well as thirdparty grants for six additional LTC facilities currently being built in Radville, Redvers, Rosetown, Shellbrook, Tisdale and Watrous.

There was $38.6 million for construction of six new schools in Warman, Swift Current, Saskatoon, White City and Lloydminster, $4 million in planning funding for three new schools in Hudson Bay, Leader and Martensville. Meanwhile, schools in Lloydminster, Lumsden, White City, Prince Albert, Regina, Humboldt, Regina, Saskatoon, Hillmond and Weyburn will all see money for major renovations out of a

In agriculture, there will be $321.4 million to fund Crop Insurance and AgriStability plus $5.3 million for the Beneficial Management Practices Program, $3.5 million for Intensive Livestock Operations Environment Program, $2 million for wheat geonomic research, $790,000 for Farm Business Development Initiatives for Young Farmers, $210,000 for grain bag recycling, $1 million for rat control and $500,000 for beaver control.

Finally, the Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program of 2011 will be continued into 2012 with $5 million.

Sure, it’s our dollars and resource royalties paying for this, so perhaps we shouldn’t get too excited about the government spending our own money.

But with all the pre-budget talk of austerity, cuts to rural Saskatchewan were not as deep as we’ve seen in the past.

Rural communities also fared pretty well in highways spending, notwithstanding a near $18-million drop in the department’s overall budget to $426 million from what was spent last year. The ministry will be moving forward on Estevan’s bypass, completion of Yorkton’s trucking route, the St. Louis Bridge and completion of Hwy 11 twinning. Also, $70.5 million has been set aside for upgrades under the rural highway strategy and there’s a $13-million increase in the bridge and culvert strategy (to $59.2 million) that will see 29 bridges replaced. The government also committed $23.5 million to its Municipal Roads for the Economy Program.

Communities will be hit with the previously announced eight-per-cent increase in policing costs, but Meadow Lake will see $700,00 to address policing issues in that city.

throughout the court process. Too often, in the past, victims’ needs have been left behind in the criminal justice system and these programs go a long way to correcting that.”

The funding was made available through the Victims Fund, a grants and contributions program administered by the Department of

Justice Canada. The Fund currently has $10.2 million a year available to give victims of crime a more effective voice in the criminal justice system.

More information about the Fund, and the government’s approach to victims of crime, can be found at the Department of Justice Canada’s website.

STC fares on the rise

Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) passenger fares will increase by an average of 4.76 per cent beginning April 1, 2012.

The average fare increase per ticket is $1.45 based on an average one way trip of 117 miles. The increase is intended to generate additional revenue for the company while still keeping fares reasonable for customers.

“The increase reflects the need for STC to recoup some of its increased costs and at the same time deliv-

er on the company’s mandate to serve Saskatchewan,” STC CEO Shawn Grice said. “STC fares are affordable and comparable to average rates in Western Canada and we believe that people who try our service once are very likely to become repeat riders due to the enjoyment of their travel experience.”

STC will maintain its discounts for seniors, students, children, frequent travellers and others.

The last STC passenger rate increase occurred March 1, 2010.

was simply a “safety valve” that allows both councils to work in their best interests.

“We wanted that safety valve clause in there because it’s a pilot project,” he said.

“The agreement looks good, but it’s also good to be cautious.”

COSTS NOT MAIN FACTOR Rutten said the agreement was not related to the recent announcement by the provincial government that municipalities would be expected to pay more for policing services by the RCMP. “We were already well into the discussions about moving this forward before that announcement came along,” said Rutten.

While the issue of cost for policing services was not directly connected to the new agreement, both councils did take into consideration the long term implications of their growing populations.

With the new census numbers released earlier this year, both Warman and Martensville exceeded the 7,000 population mark, and that meant they required more police officers. Both communities would have had to increase the number of police officers to 7 in their respective detachments to ensure 24-hour policing services. By amalgmating into one larger detachment, that requirement is fulfilled.

LATE-NIGHT CRIMES Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence also supports the move. Noting that regional cooperation is important, she said having the two communities work together to address a perceived gap in police coverage during the early morning hours seemed the logical way to go.

“When the idea was brought forward to combine both communities’ RCMP efforts to add 24 hour coverage, we jumped on that idea,” said Spence. “With the support of both Warman and Martensville councils, we were able to start the process with the RCMP to implement full day and night policing.”

Spence said she believes Warman is a safe community, but noted that late night property crime seems to be on the rise. “We need to do what we can to nip this concern and push this criminal element out of our community,” she said. “We believe having the RCMP coverage during all hours will help.”

She said the massive growth seen in both Warman and Martensville jusutifies additional RCMP services.

“We have wonderful com-

munities to live in,” she said.

“We want to keep them that way.”

MORE POLICE PRESENCE Staff Sergeant Warren Gherasim, acting comnander for the Warman RCMP detachment, said the agreement will strengthen police service delivery.

“With the growth of both communities, there is a requirement for 24-hour policing,” he said. “Last year we saw sharp increases in some of the property crime numbers in Warman, Martensville and other outlying communities. I believe that was a direct result of some of the programs that were being undertaken by the City of Saskatoon Police Service.”

Gherasim noted the Saskatoon Police put increased emphasis on combating street crimes in various neighbourhoods, and that increased pressure forced some criminal elements out of those areas. Unfortunately, he noted, they simply moved outside the Saskatoon city limits.

“We started seeing increases in vehicle thefts and break-ins to cars and things of that nature in both Martensville and Warman,” he explained. “So that meant we really needed to be able to provide a 24-hour patrol presence, and I think this agreement obviously establishes an ability to provide that. In and of themselves, the existing detachments were not quite capable of providing a 24-hour police service, particularly during the early-morning hours throughout the week.”

Gherasim said while officers were on-call to respond to late-night calls, having an on-duty officer is obviously a much better scenario.

“It allows us to conduct our business more eficiently,” he said. “Obviously there is a cost to having people on call and it generates overtime callouts, and we’re hoping this agreement to merge the resources of the two detachments allows us to use our budget money more effectively, and ultimately we’ll be able to eliminate a lot of that overtime.”

Gherasim said the public will see an increased police presence as a result of the agreement, but there will not be any major operational changes. Both the Warman detachment office and the Martensville detachment office will continue to be open during the day, and after-hours calls will continue to be handled by the RCMP central dispatch unit in Regina.

While not new in this budget, funding is also continuing for highway upgrades to the Dalmeny Access Road and Highway 305 projects. Heppner said weather delays and negotiations over land acquisitions have slowed both projects, but she expects tenders to go out this spring for the Dalmeny Access road upgrades.

She said with the provincial government’s focus on austerity in this year’s budget, new highway projects are being tailored to “get the most bang for the buck.”

“We’re looking to build smarter,” she said. “My constituency is seeing increased traffic as the area grows, and this isn’t the only area where this is happening.

“For example, there is heavy truck traffic congestion in the Weyburn and Estevan areas where there is a lot of activity in the oilpatch. Many people are calling for twinning those highways. But twinning is very expensive.

One solution, which costs a lot less and is very effective, is to build passing lanes at strategic locations.”

SENIORS’ INCOME PLAN Heppner said the government has moved to offset the cost of living for seniors by increasing the Seniors Income Plan (SIP).

“We doubled it when we came into office,” she explained. “The program hadn’t

been increased since 1992, although obviously the cost of living has increased since then. This year, we increased that amount for seniors by $50 per month. At the end of our four-year term, we will have tripled the amount going to qualified low-income seniors.”

Heppner also pointed to a new $3.5 million provincial seniors personal care home grant program as another benefit in the budget. She said the amount to qualified seniors would be $270 per month, rising to $369 per month by the fourth year of the program.

MUNICIPAL FUNDING Heppner said the province has earmarked an additional $20.6 million to municipalities, amounting to 1 percent of the PST. “The total revenue-sharing amount is $237 million, which is over a hundred million dollars more a year than five years ago,” she said. “That goes straight to communities with no strings attached.

Towns, RMs and cities can use that money as they see fit and they can deal with the pressures of growth with that funding.”

Figures supplied by the provincial government state that Warman has received an increase amounting to 192% in revenue sharing since 200708, wth the amount rising from $485,904 in fiscal year 2007-08 to $1,418,773 in fiscal

year 2012-13.

Similar increases are claimed for Martensville.

The government says municipal revenue-sharing has increased 205% - from $506,625 in fiscal 2007-08 to $1,545,168 in fiscal 2012-13.

Purgatory by any other name is still a tough place to spend time

W

arman High School’s drama troupe isn’t afraid to go right to the edge.

“We like to do plays that are a little bit unusual and unique, and that’s what sets us apart from some of the other high schools in the area,” said Jesse Parenteau, a Grade 12 student at WHS and one of the young actors in this year’s entry into the Region 11 Drama Festival last week at Walter Murray Collegiate in Saskatoon.

And few topics are as edgy as death.

In “Limbo”, a one-act play

by Jerome McDonough, the young cast and crew explore what happens to folks who pass over - not for all eternity but just for the time being. The setting is a nondescript “waiting room” where the newly-departed souls get their bearings and take stock of their lives before heading off to their ultimate fate.

But while the subject matter may be uncomfortable, the students involved in the production are very comfortable indeed about pushing the envelope. Their goal is to advance to the Saskatchewan Drama Association provincial festival this May at the University of Regina.

Last year, Warman High School’s production of “Interview” was one of 11 finalists from across the province showcased at the provincial festival.

For Janet Wilkes, a dra-

ACTING AWARDS While the production wasn’t selected for the provincial festival this year, it did pick up a number of awards, including “Best Visual Production” and a Certificate of Merit Award for Excellence in Technical/Costume Design.

Several actors in the cast also took home awards.

Greg Barkway won an Acting Award of Merit for Excellence in Character Portrayal.

Olivia Friesen won the Spirit of the Festival Award. Amanda Ehalt, Olivia Friesen, Rachel Friesen, Andrew Wright, Andrew Forsberg, Mykaela Mennie and Danica Tempel were presented with Certificates of Merit for Acting Excellence.

CHALLENGING DRAMA Wilkes said the play contained some challenges because of its unusual structure.

“This one had the challenge of breaking the fourth wall,” she said. “Normally in theatre you deal only with the

formed at the provincial drama festival next month. It was one of two that the Clavet Composite School staged at the Regional Drama Festival.

The other play was “Drama Rehab: Revenge of the Type-Cast Actors”. Both plays were directed by Lori Ulrich and Leslie Schmidt.

Parenteau said the cast had to learn some new techniques to carry the play.

“In some ways it’s a very simple play,” he said. “But in other ways it’s more difficult.

There weren’t many complex lines, but the actions on stage were key to helping the audi-

ence understand what we were doing and saying.”

Martensville author publishes fifth book

By PAT PECKOVER

peckpatr@uregina.ca

G

etting a book published is never easy, but one local author is on number five.

Dianne Young of Martensville is busy promoting her fifth book, entitled “Dear Flyary,” with a series of readings and book signings around the Saskatoon area.

This book, a tale of a young alien and his first spaceship, is full of made up words and illustrations by John Martz.

Young always had faith in the story, which was written 19 years ago, but couldn’t get it published before now.

“I did a major rewrite in 2007,” she explained. “Before that it wasn’t quite good enough.”

The idea of the sound came first and then she had to figure out what made it, Young explained.

While the publisher, Kids Can Press, picked the illus-

trator, Young is very happy with the result.

“When I saw his stuff, I knew he’d be perfect,” Young said. “This is his first picture book — he’s mainly a cartoonist — and I’m just thrilled I got to be the lucky one,” she said.

Young, an educational assistant, started writing in 1987.

“My husband and I read a lot of bed time stories to our kids and every once in a while we’d come across a book and think that it wasn’t very good,” Young said. “So I thought why not give it a try?”

Her books are written for children in Kindergarten to Grade 3, but this one is for a little older audience, she feels.

“There are a lot of made up words in this one, so the younger kids might not be able to get the meaning of the words,” Young explained.

Young has a couple of more books under way and has ideas for some more.

off with Saskatoon scoring the first goal just five minutes into the game. The Quakers broke out of their end with a two-on-one advantage at the other end to put it into the net. Chris Sokalofsky got the goal while Andrew Cribbs was credited with the assist.

The Quakers scored once more before the end of the period when a scramble in front of the net resulted when Delisle was unable to clear the puck from their end. Taylor Rehn was credited with the goal, while David Stumborg got the assist with just over a minute left in the first.

Delisle finally got on the board a minute into the second period with the teams at four-a-side. Brett Bieber from Dylan Kochan during a rush to the Quaker end, made it a 2-1 game.

The rest of the second period was more evenly matched with both teams having chances to put the puck in the net. The Chiefs came out hard to start, but the Quakers used some hard hits and physical play to regain control. Delisle had two power plays back to back in the middle of the period, but couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity.

The third period saw a string of Quaker players head to the penalty box, but the Chiefs couldn’t get their power play to work until the dying minutes of the frame. With 2:06 left on the

clock, and Delisle on the power play, Brett Pisio got a slapshot from the point past Quaker goalie Blair Miskolczi. Andre Lalonde and Eric Ditto were credited with the assists on the goal that tied the game at two.

Neither team scored in the remaining minutes and the game headed into the 10-minute sudden death overtime period. This period was rough and fast as neither team had any wish to lose or keep playing. Russ Schneider took a pass inside the Quaker zone and his wrist shot resulted in a scramble in front of the Saskatoon net that resulted in a goal

by Paul Sonntag with 1:28 left in overtime. Schneider and Ditto were credited with the assists on the goal which gave the Chiefs a 3-2 victory and the North Division title.

After the game, Delisle head coach Dave Norris admitted that his team didn’t have a good start.

“We didn’t play well in the first period,” he said.

“We probably played about five or six good minutes at the start, and had a couple of chances, but they went after us and outskated and outhit us.”

But the Chiefs got back on track later in the game, he noted.

“In the second and third we got back to our style and it worked for us,” Norris said.

Paul Sonntag, who scored the winning goal said

he was pretty nervous during the game, especially as time wore on.

“I thought we’d have a bit of point spread, but every game in the series has been within one point,” he explained.

As the overtime period wound down, a teammate gave him some encouragement before he jumped on the ice.

“When I stood up to go on for my last shift (Dylan) Kochan said you’re going to score the winner”, Sonntag said with a laugh. “I just saw the puck in front of the net and kicked it to my stick and tried to bury it,” he said of his game- and series-winning goal in overtime.

Andre Lalonde has been one of the Chiefs big men on defence this season. Lalonde and linemate Brett Pisio play for the Saskatoon Hilltops football team and join the team once the football season is over, Lalonde explained.

“Pisio and I played a lot of minutes and we just tried to limit their opportunities,” he noted.

This is Lalonde’s second season with the Chiefs and he’s had a pretty good season, including nine points in the playoffs — one goal and eight assists.

The Chiefs finished the regular season with a 32-8 record and have an 8-1 re-

cord in the playoffs.

Delisle now takes on the Traveland RV Storm from Pilot Butte in the PJHL final.

The first two games will be in Delisle on Friday, March 30, and Saturday, March 31 at 8 p.m.

The next two games will be in Pilot Butte on Monday, April 2 and Wednesday, April 4, also at 8 p.m.

After that the series, if more games are needed, will alternate between Delisle on Friday, April 6, Pilot Butte on Sunday, April 8 and Delisle on Wednesday, April 11.

Delisle Bruins capture provincial Midget B hockey crown

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

I

t was “déjà vu all over again” for several members of the Delisle Bruins Midget B hockey club, as they captured the provincial championship last weekend on home ice.

Four months after winning the provincial 12-man high school football championship with the Delisle Rebels football team, a tight-knit group of young hometown heroes celebrated the feeling of being on top of the world for a second time.

“It feels pretty good,” confirmed Bruins’ Captain Logan Frohaug after the Delisle squad defeated the Rosetown Redwings 8-6 in a two-game, total point series that finished up on Saturday, March 24 at the Delisle Centennial Rink. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing, for sure.

CHIEF INJURED Continued from Page 3

In an interview on Sunday, March 25, a few days after the incident, Boechler modestly downplayed the event as “just another day at the office.”

He gave full credit to Sgt. Fehr, noting this was the second time that officer had performed CPR in an emergency situation since joining the force a short time earlier.

Boechler also had praise for the off-duty firefighter who stepped in.

He said his leg is

healing, although it was still pretty sore.

“I’m taking a few days of enforced leisure on the doctor’s orders,” he said. “In situations like that, everything happens very quickly, and the focus for everyone was on resuscitating the heart-attack victim. It was fortunate that we had the AED unit from one of the police cars available.”

Boechler said because the first few minutes are so critical in cases of

cardiac arrest, CPR has to be performed as quickly as possible. He wasn’t even aware of the vehicle’s presence.

“I thought somebody was stepping on my leg,” he explained. “So I turned and looked because it kind of hurt, and here was this wheel driving over me. So I tried to lay my leg as flat on the pavement as I could, and it went over my lower leg and ankle and off the end of my foot. I didn’t think I made any noise but obviously I must have hollered pretty loud because the guy re-

19 alized he drove over something and he stopped and came back, and of course he felt terrible. I went back to continue CPR, because my first priority is to take care of the guy with the heart attack. But I quickly realized that I was going into shock, so thankfully the offduty firefighter was there to take over.”

After the elderly patient was transported by ambulance to RUH, one of the Corman Park police officers drove Boechler to hospital to have his leg x-rayed. It was deter-

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN Unbelievable, Capricorn. You set a goal, you devised a plan of attack, and for the first time ever, you held fast and succeeded. This calls for a feast with all the trimmings.

VIRGO Promises, promises, Virgo. You made one after another, and now it’s time to pay the piper, only you don’t have the time to commit. Fess up fast.

AQUARIUS Be positive, Aquarius. Think something will go wrong, and it most certainly will. Trust that you selected the right people and do your part.

LIBRA Pace yourself, Libra. Move too fast and you’ll risk making a serious mistake. Move too slow, and you’ll risk losing out on the project altogether. Find a happy medium.

PISCES Come off it, Pisces. You made a mistake, but you didn’t do it deliberately. Give yourself a break. No one else is worked up about it, so why should you be?

SCORPIO Savvy Scorpio. You know just what to say when an opportunity arises and it’s yours for the taking. Congrats!

Travel is on the agenda. Don’t say no.

ARIES Crazier things have happened, Aries. If you want to do something, do it. Don’t let others’ underestimation of you keep you from trying something new.

SAGITTARIUS Use it or lose it, Sagittarius. There are many resources available. Only one of them will seal the deal. A home improvement project is put on the back burner.

TAURUS Drama unfolds. Don’t get sucked in, Taurus. Plug your ears and focus on the job at hand. This is one situation that is bound to end badly.

GEMINI All right, Gemini. You learned to pinch your pennies and you’re in a better situation than you have been in some time. A celebration is in order.

CANCER Oh, Cancer. You’re such a sympathetic soul, but if you refuse to take off those blinders, you’re going to get into trouble. Pay attention and see the situation for what it really is.

LEO Looney Leo? Nah. You may feel that way sometimes, but more often than not you’re at the top of your game, and this week is no different. There is nothing out of your league.

sudoku

mined the injuries were all to the soft tissue and not the bones.

“I can still limp around on it,” Boechler said of his sore left leg. “But I think the tendon was damaged.”

He said the incident proves the usefulness of AEDs. The RM of Corman Park office has one, and there are two others in patrol cars.

A motion to the next RM of Corman Park council meeting is expected that will ensure every Corman Park police car is equipped with AEDs. “The biggest thing is that the gentleman survived,” said Boechler. “It was the best outcome that could be expected.

The Cardiac Care Unit at RUH is not where you want to be for a long time, and it is very rough on his family, obviously. But this shows how the success rate increases if you have an AED available.”

Officers with the Corman Park Police Service are trained in CPR and first aid, and they update their skills annually.

MARTENSVILLE CRASH: On March 16 shortly before 1:00 p.m., Highway 12 was closed for several hours as a west bound black Cavalier proceeded from the stop sign exiting Martensville onto Highway 12 before the way was clear.

Envirotec attended the scene for clean-up of the area as the semi was carrying dry cement. The semi driver was not injured and the driver of the Cavalier was transported to hospital and later released.

The 17 year old female driver of the Cavalier faces charges under Traffic Safety Act. Cell phone use was a contributing factor.

The two occupants of a Chrysler Intrepid were examined at the scene by EMS and transported to North Battleford for further treatment.

The officers had to put the moose down due to its injuries.

RADISSON ROLLOVER On March 18, at 6 p.m., Radisson RCMP responded to a call of a single vehicle roll over on Highway 340 north of Radisson . The officers patrolling the Highway 340 were on scene within minutes to find

Vipers edged by Wolfpack in double-overtime

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

he Sask Valley Vipers came within a hair’s breadth of advancing to the provincial Bantam AA championship round.

But it just wasn’t meant to be.

In a game that went into double-overtime, the Vipers lost a heartbreaker to the Northeast Wolfpack on Tuesday, March 20 at the Legends Centre in Warman.

Playing for all the marbles in front of a large noisy crowd, the third and final game of the best-of-three Bantam AA Hockey League North Division final saw two evenlymatched teams lock horns in a see-saw battle. With the series tied at one game each going into the final game, both sides wanted the win, and it showed.

Northeast jumped out to a one-goal lead near the end of the first period on a goal

by Bret Stobbs, only to have the Vipers’ Jaden Norrish respond 19 seconds later to tie it up. The Wolfpack regained the lead again when Zak Paziuk scored midway through the second frame, but less than 2 minutes later, Evan Fiala of the Vipers once again evened things up.

In the third, Northeast’s Matt Long put the visitors ahead, but Liam Maley of the Vipers tied it up again a little over a minute later. Sask Valley finally took the lead with a little over 2 minutes left in regulation when Clayton Mackenzie scored. But Bryce Fisk answered back for the Wolfpack with just 1:14 left on the clock to force overtime.

The first overtime period saw exciting end-to-end action, wtih Vipers goalie Connor Ingram and Wolfpack netminder Nik Amundrud both making highlight-reel saves.

But it all came to an sudden end twelve minutes into the second overtime period, when the Wolfpack’s Jordan Borstmayer poked the puck under a pile of players in front of the Vipers net to seal the victory for the Melfort-based team.

It was a crushing defeat for the Sask Valley squad, who saw their dreams of a provincial title disappear in the blink of an eye.

But Vipers coach Shaun Priel said he couldn’t fault his boys’ efforts.

“They played like all-stars today,” Priel said after the game. “They really did. They gave it everything they had.

We got two goals out of our first-year kids, and I’m really proud of the boys and what they showed today.”

Priel said it was a great season for everyone involved in the team, even though it

didn’t end the way they had hoped.

“One of the things I stressed throughout the year with the kids was that everything is a learning experience,” he said. “And even after a loss like this, you can learn from it. When you lose in overtime, especially in provincial playoffs, you take that experience and you put it in your back pocket and you learn from it so that you’re successful next time.”

Priel said not having their team captain, Terrell Draude, in the lineup due to a suspension was a factor in the game,

but he said the Vipers still matched up well against one of the best teams in the province.

“It was a great game,” he said. “Very intense. It’s just unfortunate that we came out on the wrong end of the scoreboard.”

SAYING THANK YOU

The Osler Fire Department (OFD) held its annual Firefighter’s Ball on March 17 at the Osler Community Hall and during the course of the evening’s festivities took a moment to present their former fire chief, Brad Banman, with a framed uniform as a way of congratulating him on 25 years of service to the department and community. Presenting the gift (from l-r) are Andrew Giesbrecht, Clint Friesen, Deputy Fire Chief Harv Braun and Fire Chief Jason Pauls. The OFD raised in excess of $20,000 following a very successful silent auction, live auction and dinner, and made the announcement that construction of the town’s new fire hall will begin later this spring.
