Man killed by train at Grandora On Monday, September 3, at 4:50 p.m., Warman RCMP responded to a call from CN that a person was struck and killed by a train near Grandora, Saskatchewan. So far, the investigation has revealed a 30 year old male from Saskatoon was laying on the tracks and run over when a eastbound train was unable to stop in time. Foul play is not suspected and the Warman RCMP, along with the CN Police and Coroner’s Office continue to investigate.

Fugitive cattle on roads: Mounties prompt landowners to mend fences Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Warman RCMP Detachment

During the last week of August, Warman RCMP have had numerous calls of domestic cattle getting out of the fence enclosures that contain them, and wandering near the highways. Owners of livestock are reminded to ensure their cattle are held securely, as it is a traffic safety risk to have cattle wandering near highways and roadways.

ROLLOVER IN WARMAN On August 25 at 1:10 am, Warman RCMP were called to a single vehicle rollover on 6th Avenue South, on the way out of Warman. The driver, a 28 year old woman, was located and arrested for Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle.

EMS attended and assessed the driver, who was taken to RUH for further medical treatment.

While there, blood samples were obtained for analysis, and the investigation continues.

HITTING THE DITCH On August 25 at about 10:00 pm, a vehicle ran off the road on Highway 16 near

Langham. Police attended to investigate, and learned that the driver, who did not have a driver’s licence, had been distracted, hit the shoulder and lost control. Charges of Drive Without a Valid Licence and Drive Without Due Care and Attention were laid.

HIT & RUN AT ADOBE INN On Aug. 13, RCMP had a report from an employee at the Adobe Inn in Martensville, that her vehicle had been hit in the parking lot there. The vehicle was struck sometime between 5:30 pm on Aug. 11 and 2:00 am on Aug. 12. Anyone with information on this matter is asked to contact police.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT On August 31 just after 5:00 am, police had a report of a break in to a vehicle in progress, in Martensville.

RCMP intercepted the vehicle coming into Warman, which was determined to be stolen.

The suspect vehicle fled into Saskatoon, and the investigation is ongoing.

lection fever is brewing, as nominations opened for municipal and school board elections across Saskatchewan earlier this week.

Nominations for municipal councilors and Mayors opened September 4 for all villages, towns and cities in Saskatchewan.

Nominations opened the same day for school board trustees in the province, as well as for Reeves and councilors representing odd-numbered divisions in rural municipalities (RMs). The exception is the RM of Corman Park, where only the Reeve’s position is currently up for election. Councilors in the new 8-member RM council were chosen in a municipality-wide election earlier this year The deadline for all nominations closes at 4:00 p.m. on

Wednesday, September 19.

Voting day for all municipal and school board elections is Wednesday, October 24.

For Warman, the municipal election will be an historic one. The successful candidates will constitute the first city council for the fast-growing community, which topped the 7,000 population mark in the 2011 federal census. The proclamation of Warman as Saskatchewan’s newest city is scheduled to take place during a celebration at the Legends Centre in Warman on Saturday, October 27.

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence has announced she is seeking re-election. Martensville Mayor Gordon Rutten, meanwhile, has indicated he will not be seeking another term in office.

dence at a rural location west of Saskatoon, in relation to a matter where a man had returned to a property after having been evicted. The 48 year old man was not present, but he was located at another location where he was working. He was arrested on charges of Being Unlawfully in a Dwelling House, Breach of Undertaking, and on a Warrant for Arrest for Fraud. He was held for court the following day, where he was remanded into custody.

BICYCLE THIEVES On August 29 at 4:00 pm RCMP responded to a report from Osler of two adult men who had stolen bicycles in

town. The two men were located and arrested, and the investigation revealed that they had been in a stolen vehicle on Highway 11 that had broken down, and they had then stolen the bicycles. Both were charged accordingly, and released for court, with conditions not to contact each other, not to go to Osler, and to abstain from alcohol.

Harvest for Kids organizers confident world record will be set in a few weeks

CALLING ALL COMBINES!

By TERRY PUGH

H

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

ow many combines does it take to harvest 300 acres of oats?

If all goes according to plan – 209 to be exact.

That’s what it will take to establish a new world record for the number of combines working together to harvest a crop in a single field.

Wendell Andres, Saskatchewan Regional Director of Harvest for Kids (HFK) and Executive-Director of Children’s Camps International (CCI), is confident the attempt to set the world record in a field north of Dalmeny on Saturday, October 6, will be a sight to remember.

“The current record was set just a few months ago in Ireland, where they had 208 combines working simultaneously,” Andres said. “We believe we can top that.”

In an interview late last week, Andres described the world record attempt as a “harvest celebration” that will have something for everyone. In addition to the combines, there will be old-time harvest demonstrations by no fewer than four threshermen’s outfits including those from Hague, Hepburn, Rosthern and Dalmeny. Food vendors, children’s activities and music will also be front and centre during the day-long event.

A special appearance by High Valley, a chart-topping country band from LaCrete, Alberta, is scheduled for the afternoon, with a benefit concert that night at a Saskatoon church.

Andres said the event will showcase Saskatchewan to the world, and provide an opportunity for people to build relationships within the larger community.

He noted the original record was set in 2010 in Winkler, Manitoba, when 200 combines created a truly aweinspiring sight, as they harvested a field of grain in re-

cord time. Not only did it leave an impression on the spectators and participants, the event also had a lasting impact far beyond Manitoba’s – and Canada’s – borders. The money raised at the world record harvest generated funds to help children around the world through Children’s Camps International, a charitable faith-based agency that organizes camps for underprivileged kids in povertystricken countries.

The event scheduled for October 6 will raise the bar not only for the number of combines in the field, but also for the funds raised. Andres is hopeful the world record attempt will make a difference in the lives of thousands of children around the world.

“We’ve scheduled it for the

Saturday of the Thanksgiving Long Weekend,” said Andres.

“We have a lot to be thankful for here in Saskatchewan, and this is a way for farmers and others to share our blessings with everyone.”

Andres said interest among farmers is growing as the big event gets closer. “Everyone is very excited about being involved,” he said. “And that’s good, because we’re going to need every combine we can get to make it happen.”

Andres said there has been great support from many implement dealers, fertilizer and seed suppliers, fuel distributors and other agribusinesses. But the heart and soul of the event rests with grassroots people who want to make a difference, and who want to be part of history.

“We’re getting phone calls daily from interested people,” he said. “It’s also nice to see that the harvest is coming along quickly, because that gives farmers an opportunity to come and join us. If they can get their own fields finished up in the next few weeks, they may feel they can free up a combine or two, or three, to help us out and push us over the top.”

The field of oats is being donated to the cause by Brent Baerg and Chad Doerksen.

The original field of oats selected for the attempt, owned

by Doerksen, had severe moisture problems because of the rainfall this past summer, so the event was moved 6 kilometers west. The original field was located right alongside Highway 12 across from the

Barn Playhouse.

While the new location doesn’t have the high-profile visibility of the original field, that’s actually a good thing in many ways, said Andres.

“There were some safety concerns for traffic and spectators with the original location that are mitigated here, because it’s not a high-traffic area,” said Andres. “We will still be able to accommodate all the spectators, the entertainment, and the food while the main event is going on.”

He said the event will get started about 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 6. He expects many combines will roll in early that morning, while many more will be set up the night before.

The Dalmeny Fire Department will be on hand to deal

now official.

Road signs designating Clark’s Crossing Road were installed on Wednesday, August 29 by the RM of Corman Park public works department. The road, officially known as Township Road 381, passes through the historic settlement of Clark’s Crossing halfway between Saskatoon and Warman.

It was a red-letter day for the Clark’s Crossing Historic Group (CCHG), made up of residents of the area who have been pressing for the road signs for several months.

Margaret Hein-Wiebe, who grew up near the small settlement and one of the organizers of a fundraising campaign to pay for the road signs, said seeing the signs go up was heart-warming.

“I had a real sense of gratitude for the members of this community – past and present – who supported, encouraged and donated funds to make this possible,” said HeinWiebe. “I was a little overwhelmed. When I got back to the house I had a little ‘teary’ session – feeling a real sense of satisfaction in seeing something that should have been done a long time ago. I felt like we did this for our parents that were here and for those who are and will be here in the future. My dad would be so happy! He wanted some identification for this community as far back as the 1950s.”

The fundraising campaign involved sending out letters to area residents and

businesses, and a lot of doorknocking to acquaint people in the district with the project and explaining the significance of the Clark’s Crossing settlement. The hamlet, which consisted of a store, post office, railway loading platform and telegraph office, was an important stopping point for travelers and a gathering place for residents. It was founded in the early 1900s and lasted until the mid-1950s.

Hein-Wiebe said the fundraising campaign was well worth the effort. “Any effort I put into this is nothing compared to the value of these simple signs, that say who and

where we are,” she said.

The first signs were erected at the intersection of Township Road 381 and the service road parallel to Highway 12.

Additional signs are expected to be erected at the corner of Township Road 381 and Range Road 3052.

The CCHG fundraising campaign goal is $3500 to pay the cost of the road signs and an historic cairn plaque. The cairn is planned for next summer and will be erected at a site close to the former store and post office alongside the north-south CN track, just a short distance south of the Pioneer grain terminal.

Wall’s potash reversal right thing to do

C O M M E N T A R Y

Pension gap astounding in Canada

So is it ever okay for a Premier to seemingly switch direction and go against something he seemed to vehemently oppose and even campaigned against?

Well, sometimes it’s not only okay but also the necessary and smart thing to do. Or as we may now be finding out in Premier Brad Wall’s handling of a possible review of potash royalty rates.

At issue is a remark made while reacting to the news from BHP Billiton that would be delaying final approval on its $13.1-billion Jansen potash mine for at least this year because of the mining giant’s less-than-stellar most recent financial update.

Wall mused that we may need a potash royalty structure “based on cost more than it is on volume”.

Political staff has tried to spin this comment as no big deal and perfectly consistent with what Wall has said in the past about perhaps one day having to sit down with the industry and look at the royalty rates. Certainly, when pushed on the issue in the past, Wall never completely ruled out looking at royalties one day in the future.

But if you look at all the things that Brad Wall has said in recent memory, a time when the Jansen mine may be on hold and when Vale SA’s proposed Kronau mine is postponed would seem a dangerous time to be talking about a royalty review. Or so Wall has repeatedly told us over the past couple years: During the election last October, Wall said he feared causing “royalty shock” and scaring off new investment that would hurt provincial revenues and cause job loss. “If we give them royalty shock, if we start jacking around with potash in the middle of worldwide uncertainty, I think we may lose those new mines,” Wall said.

“Mr. Lingenfelter’s plan is a reckless and irresponsible gamble with taxpayers’ money, it will drive Saskatchewan into huge deficits and it will kill jobs,” Wall said on the Sask. Party website during the election campaign. “We can’t afford to go down that path.”

When the former NDP leader first contemplated the idea of a royalty review in March 2011, Wall was even more adamant: “We’re on the side of royalty stability and we do believe fundamentally that changing the royalty now will kill jobs, will risk jobs in the province,” Wall even went so far as to call Lingenfelter’s royalty review plans “crazy”. (He defended the use of his strong

Canadian Taxpayers Association

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released

new data just in time for Labour Day showing the large gap between government workers’ pension benefits and everyone else. The CTF again called on governments to freeze and convert their unsustainable defined-benefit pension plans to less costly, defined contribution plans.

Nation-wide, Statistics Canada data shows that 87.1%

of government employees have workplace pensions, up from 75.5% in 1977. Outside of government, just 24.4% of workers have workplace pension plans, down from 35.2% in 1977.

“Government employees are not only more likely to

have workplace pensions, they typically have defined benefit plans - the best type out there,” said CTF Prairie Director Colin Craig. “Instead of raising taxes to pay for expensive, golden employee pension plans, it’s time for governments to stop the bleeding by putting new hires into less expensive plans.”

Craig noted that former NDP Premier Allan Blak-

eney deserves credit for converting many provincial government defined-benefit plans to defined-contribution plans back in 1977; helping to save taxpayers billions.

However, defined-benefit plans like the City of Regina’s employee plan still need conversion; it has liabilities of $293 million and counting.

The average government employee in Canada saw

$8,734 go into their pension plan last year while everyone else saw an average of just $4,092 go into their pension plan or RRSP.

term, but instead called such a potash royalty review “reckless” on future references.)

This was also Wall’s consistent message during the BHP takeover bid, telling reporters two years ago: “We’re not going to mess with that,” “What I don’t want is royalty shock in this province” that may impact the (then) $6

billion mine expansion plans.”

So why would Wall do this when about $16 billion of mine expansion is now in jeopardy?

Well the reality is that over-production is a serious concern that might very well affect potash prices and government revenues in the future – especially with BHP Billiton now talking about adding an immediate four million tonnes a year when the Jansen mine comes on stream.

As for “royalty shock” putting those new mines at risk, it is corporate policy and a world economy that are bigger

factors for the mining companies than any fears a friendly, conservative-minded government will hit them with unfair royalties. After all, with Wall’s history of opposing “royalty shock”, the industry surely has less to fear from a Brad Wall royalty rate review than what they might have got under Lingenfelter.

Notwithstanding Wall’s past political rhetoric, it likely makes good policy sense for the Premier to rationally sit down with the industry and start talk about potash royalties.

been made in building and repairing our highway and transportation system. Road construction work zones are not there to inconvenience you, but are necessary to improve the roads for everyone.

Every year we work to educate motorists about the importance of paying attention and obeying the signs in the Orange Zone. The public is reminded of several points when travelling through a work zone: 1) Be Alert: Expect anything to occur when entering a work zone.

2) Don’t speed: Note the posted speed limits in and around the work zones.

3) Don’t tailgate: Unexpect-

ed stops frequently occur in work zones.

4) Don’t change lanes in the work zone: The time saved just isn’t worth the chance.

5) Minimize distractions: Avoid changing the radio station and using your cell phone when driving in a work zone.

6) Expect the unexpected: Keep an eye out for workers and their equipment.

Safety for our employees means going home at the end of the day to family and loved ones.

Legends Golf Club crowns 2012 season champions Lead changes three times in final four holes to produce dramatic men’s finish

By TERRY JENSON

tjenson@ccgazette.ca

Getting set for his second shot into the 72nd hole, Brian Rittwage knew he had to stick it tight for a realistic chance at birdie.

Watching his ball land as darkness descended, Rittwage found himself with a short 2-footer for birdie that he ultimately made to come from behind and claim the Men’s 2012 Legends Club Championship on August 26.

After Saturday’s first round was postponed due to rain, Rittwage and Shawn Strelau found themselves tied for the lead after Sunday’s first 18 holes at 3-over par 75. Ryan Vermeulen was one shot back and Glen Belliveau rounded out the final foursome three shots out of the lead.

Playing the back nine first, Belliveau fired a 2-under par 34 to assume the lead at 112, with Strelau one back at 113, Rittwage at 114

and Vermeulen three behind at 115. Strelau’s par on the 2nd pulled him into a tie for the lead with Belliveau and Rittwage made it a three-way tie on the 3rd as both Belliveau and Strelau bogeyed.

Strelau bogeyed the 4th to drop out of the lead and Belliveau birdied the 6th to grab sole possession of the lead once again.

The seventh saw a two shot swing as Belliveau three-putted the par-3 while Strelau rolled in a 10-footer for bird. Heading into the par-4 eighth Belliveau narrowly missed a slick downhill putt for birdie from nine feet and had to settle for par, leaving himself and Rittwage one shot back going to the final regulation hole.

With Rittwage staring at his short birdie putt, Belliveau short-sided himself and wound up needing to get up and down from the left side of the left bunker. Strelau, too, short-sided himself but was chipping from the rough next to the green. Belliveau wound up making double bogey while Strelau just missed his 6-foot par putt that would have forced a playoff.

Rittwage calmly rolled in his putt to card a two-round

How do you spell relief? W-I-N!

The Saskatchewan Roughriders kicked their five-game losing streak to the curb with a convincing 52-0 rout of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Labour Day Classic XLIX Sunday afternoon before a sellout crowd of 33,427.

What changed?

The Riders will tell you nothing. The football gods just seemed to smile on them for the first time in a long time.

The evidence was a Sandro Deangilis 50-yard field goal which capped the Riders’ opening drive. It hit the right upright and fell through the posts for an early 3-0 lead. Who would have thought that’s all the offence they would need for the day?

But as far as game prep goes, nothing really changed.

Coach Corey Chamblin pointed out after the game the additions of middle linebacker Joe Lobendahn and cornerback Milt Collins had a positive effect but overall it was just Saskatchewan’s day.

“I’ll tell you what, I told

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN

Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network

the guys this is the biggest win of my career,” Chamblin revealed after the game.

“Even bigger than the first one. It seemed like everything went right. After five weeks when everything goes wrong, thank God things went right today.”

Through the losing stretch Chamblin calmly advised his team and Rider fans that if they continue to work to their fullest each practice and in games, things will turn around.

Boy did they ever.

“We didn’t change one thing,” said Rider tailback Kory Sheets, who had his first 100 yard rushing game as a Rider. “Actually no, we changed one thing. We fin-

ished.”

They sure did, scoring 20 points off of a ton of Blue Bomber turnovers. And the victory was even sweeter for the many former Blue Bombers who now wear green and white.

“It feels great,” smiled Rider lineman Brendon Labatte who spent the past four years with Winnipeg. “This is the first Labour Day I’ve ever won and what do they say? If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. It was just a great all-around team effort today. This is the Rider team you can expect the rest of the way. We’re a good squad with a lot of talent and if we keep playing this hard we’ll be alright.

It was the largest margin of victory for the Riders in the Classic’s history and the first shutout since the very first Labour Day Classic in 1949, also a Rider win. But it came with a price. Rider quarterback Darian Durant left the game with a neck injury and he wouldn’t commit to playing in next Sunday’s Banjo Bowl.

However Chamblin reported the injury wasn’t serious and that had the game been closer, Durant would have come back in.

Of course nothing’s ever easy around here and the skeptics say it was a hollow victory, over a last-place Winnipeg team which left Regina at 2-7 while the Riders went to 4-5. It doesn’t matter!

After the gloom and doom we’ve gone through the past six weeks, it’s time to smile again. They earned it. “It was just one of those days,” Chamblin concluded.

“We kept working hard and I believed things would turn around. Now I hope it continues.”

Candace Friesen (#7 - centre) prepares to snap the ball during the Saskatoon Sirens home opener last weekend at Credit Union Centre

Flash and Dash

Hard-hitting Lingerie Football game appeals to Dalmeny athlete

By HILARY KLASSEN

hilaryklassen@gmail.com

B

efore hearing about the Lingerie Football League (LFL), Candace Friesen of Dalmeny was a dedicated body builder hoping to go competitive.

When the league launched a team in Regina, friends encouraged her to try out, but Friesen ruled out that option because of the distance. Later, when the franchise came to Saskatoon she decided to go for it.

“I’ve always liked football and I’ve always been into sports,” said Friesen.

“It’s right here in my back yard, why not try it out.”

The LFL has been holding open practices since April which motivated Friesen to give it a shot.

“It was a challenging tryout, definitely,” she said. “I’d never played football before, at least not organized football, never had the opportunity.”

Practice drills included the 40 yard dash and other timed drills.

“Agility was not really an issue,” but Friesen adds, “not knowing what you’re getting into and not knowing anything about football adds another dimension to the nerves.”

BALANCING ACT Friesen is a single Mom looking to balance her pursuits with being a parent.

“I have two boys and family is my first and foremost priority,” she said. Though she didn’t know what the time commitment would be going in, she went ahead because, “the thing is I’d never know if I didn’t try.” She made the team and has been able to juggle the change in her lifestyle.

Launched in 2009, the Lingerie Football League has drawn sell-out crowds in the U.S. Now they hope to repeat that success in Canada.

cepted by the Sirens. After another BC pass was intercepted, the two teams settled into a reasonable contest.

While it is actual football, it’s a scaled back version of the game. The field is only 50 yards long and the game consists of two 17-minute halves.

There are no uprights in the end zones, no field goals, and after a touchdown, the team gets one attempt at a two point conversion. But the passing, running plays and tackling were well executed and true to the game. There were some hard hits into the boards at the sides.

Not surprisingly this was not an Oprah crowd. The fan base was predominantly male and not shy about showing their enthusiasm.

There was not a huge turnout for this first game with about 30% of the lower seating area filled.

IN IT FOR THE THRILL The Sirens are off to Toronto to tackle the Triumph on Sept. 15, and have their next home game Oct. 6 against the Regina Rage. A strong rivalry between the two teams is anticipated.

Friesen will have to juggle football with university classes starting this week.

She hopes to major in psychology and minor in a fitness/diet related course of studies. She finds the LFL allows her to practice her new mentality which is “to • Candace Friesendo something every day that breviated boy shorts, per- scares me.” haps not so different from She welcomes the opwhat we saw being worn at portunity the game offers the London Summer Olym- for learning and personal growth: “You never know, pics for beach volleyball.

The Saskatoon team does not have a full roster and as with other Canadian teams, some American players were sent over. Some members of the team will play both offence and defense. Playing the position of center, Friesen gets to snap the ball.

Some members of the Valkyries, the local women’s football team that plays fully outfitted, are cool towards the LFL. President and player Jessie Buydens says, “If you’re a serious athlete, you’re not going to want to play your sport in your gitch.”

But Friesen is comfortable playing football in lingerie. “I think there’s always going to be people with opinions no matter what you do,” she said. “But I think until everyone sees an actual game they aren’t going to realize what it all entails with physical exertion and mental focus, and it’s actual football. It’s not la-de-da look at me in lingerie. And it’s far from lingerie if you ask me.

Lane cleanup dates set The City of Martensville is planning its annual “Lane and General Clean-up” program.

According to Mike Grosh, DIrector of Public Works for the City of Martensville, the program utilizes the assistance of the Urban Camp, a program operated by the federal Corrections Department.

“Our Public Works Department with the help of Urban Camp will be out during specified dates to pick up various items,” said Grosh. “It is our hope that by offering this service it will eliminate the amount of trash and debris that is dumped in back lanes and business/contractor dumpsters.”

Grosh said items that will be picked up include: -Household appliances (fridge, stove & freezers, all doors must be removed); Furniture; Torn down fence material (four foot lengths & tied); Rocks; Garden refuse, leaves & grass clippings (all bagged); Tree Branches (four foot lengths & tied); Pieces of scrap material including material from small renovations (four foot lengths & tied) He noted there are some iItems that will not be picked up.

These include: Hazardous materials; Sod, topsoil and gravel; Any liquids; Construction materials; Car parts; Tires; Computers & parts; Batteries; Televisions; Concrete Grosh noted that a list of places to recycle some of the above items is listed on the City website under Public Works.

He said that during the pickup days, the City will be making one pass only.

Residents that live North of Main Street will need to have their items out by September 17th - 8:00 AM. Residents that live South of Main Street will need to have their items out by September 27th - 8:00 AM. Grosh said all residents with back lanes should not place any items out in the lane until one week prior to pick-up each year.

All residents without back lanes should not place any items curbside until the day before pick-up.

“Please ensure that the items placed in the lanes and curbside are not restrictive to traffic and you do not have anything in the lane that you do not want removed,” he said, adding that the City will not be responsible for anything left in the back lanes by residents.

MARTENSVILLE

Cemetery construction The City of Martensville has been actively pursuing the land required for construction of a cemetery for the past few years.

The City has recently acquired ownership of the land (10 acre parcel) necessary to construct a cemetery for Martensville and district residents that will accommodate our needs for decades. The site is located east of Martensville (Township Road 384 – Main Street extension) at the southeast corner of Township Road 384 and Range Road 3052 (see attached map).

The cemetery site has received RM of Corman Park approval as well as approval from the Provincial Govern-

ment giving the City permission to construct, operate and maintain a cemetery.

The City of Martensville has been working with Hilton Landmarks Inc., a company that specializes in cemetery consulting, planning and design. Hilton has provided a design that has been approved

by City Council.

Tendering for contractors to prepare the site (grading and seeding) will be done in the near future. It is anticipated that this work will be completed this fall. The City is targeting fall 2013 for burials.

This is a tentative time frame and the City will keep residents updated on the progress of construction.

Every year the Warman Branch of the Wheatland Regional Library participates in the TD Summer Reading Club.

This year’s theme was Imagine and we had wonderful

time running the program.

Our program ran from June 28th until August 31st and in that time we registered 310 children. These children did a phenomenal job, reading a total of 5630 books over the summer!

The library was bustling all summer long as children

came into take out books, do crafts and activities and just hang out. Sweet Memories, Co-op and the Warman Corner Service for donating coupons for free ice cream and slushies to use as prizes. We had a great time this summer and are looking forward to next year’s program.

Because we love the game...

On Friday, August 31, Warman Minor Hockey players Tyler Samuels and Tyler Vanneste sat out for about three hours in the hot sun to help with ticket sales for this weekend’s Blades vs. Raiders game.

With proceeds from the game going to Warman Minor Hockey, the two wanted to do their part to make the game a sellout.

Martensville Royals rely on veterans to make impact

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he Martensville Royals may have one of the smallest rosters among the high school football teams in the northwest conference, but they make up for it in determination.

With 21 players in the lineup, it means that about half a dozen guys who suit up in Royal Blue colours will be seeing lots of time on the field as they contribute both offensively and defensively.

“We probably have the smallest roster of any 9-man team, and it’s been like that for a few years,” said Lyle Evanisky, head coach of the Royals. “So we have about 5 guys who play both ways.”

In an interview during a team practice on Thursday, August 30, Evanisky said the players gain valuable experience when they’re called on to make an extra effort. “Most teams carry their Grade 9s on their team,” he said.” But we have the Kinsmen Minor Football program here in town, and we encourage our grade 9s to play their last year of Kinsmen with the Mad Dogs minor football team. It helps support the Mad Dogs program, and it gives them another year of being a starter and getting more game experience. They come into the high school program with a better feel for the game.”

SEASON GOALS Evanisky said while a provincial playoff berth is a longshot this year, he’s expecting the team to have a better record than last season.

“We’re going to take Warman Wolverines it one game at a time,” Friday, Sept 7, Delisle @ Warman he said. “We expect Friday, Sept 14, Warman @ Martensville to win some football Thursday, Sept 20 – JP II @ Warman games this year. Last Friday, Sept 28 – Warman @ Meadow Lake year we only won two Friday, Oct 5 – Warman @ Kindersley games, and so we reFriday, Oct 12 – Martensville @ Warman ally want to improve Saturday, October 20 - playoffs on that.

ly impressed with our young guys. A lot of them come from the Mad Dogs program, so they have a good skill set and they’ll probably end up being starters for us, because they’re bigger guys. They’re only in Grade 10 but they’re big enough to step in.”

Evanisky said the Grade 12 veterans will provide leadership on and off the field.

“Morgan Upton is back this year, and he’s a key guy for us,” he noted. “Morgan played mostly defense last year but he knows that for us to be successful he’s going to have to play some offense as well.”

The Martensville coach also singled out Shayne Hayward, who was a team captain last year.

“Shayne is going to be moving into a quarterback role this year,” said Evanisky.

“He stepped into that position last year when our starter went down to injury, and this year we’ve had a chance to provide him some more coaching and we’re impressed with how he’s doing.”

tensville this season is a positive, said Evanisky. “It’s exciting to have them back,” he said. “We have two games against Warman this season, and for us that’s great because it’s like two home games. It’s always a good atmosphere because there’s lots of fans for both sides at those games.”

FOAM LAKE GAME CLOSE The Royals’ first test came last Friday, during an exhibition game on the road against Foam Lake. The Royals narrowly lost that by a score of 19-17, but it was close, and it could have gone either way, said Evanisky after the game.

“It was a great game,” said the coach. “It was played under the lights. They scored with less than a minute left to take the lead and win. But veterans Morgan Upton, Shayne Hayward and Brayden Heck all played well. Rookie Morgan Avery also scored a touchdown and ran the ball well.”

The Royals first regularseason game is at home on Friday, September 7 when they host Meadow Lake at Geransky Field.

Spiritual Retreat Muslims & Mennonites discover common spiritual ground at “The Thin Place”

By HILARY KLASSEN

hilaryklassen@gmail.com

W

elcome to the world of M & M’s: Muslims & Mennonites.

The term, “M & M’s” has taken on a new meaning. It can refer to more than just candies or frozen foods, now it can also refer to Muslims & Mennonites. Members of the two groups have taken steps to foster connections with each other so they gathered at the Shekinah Retreat Centre on a Sunday afternoon in August to check each other out.

Facilitator Harry Harder of Clavet said, “It’s a bridge building event between Muslims & Mennonites, primarily from the perspective that we don’t know each other. People are afraid of each other.”

Harder has lots of personal connections with Muslims.

“I am a sheep farmer and I sell a lot of lambs to Muslims,” he noted.

“Through the years I have made a lot of Muslim friends that have developed into very good relationships.”

The event was an initiative of the Mennonite Church of Saskatchewan which has chosen to reach out to Muslims across Saskatchewan by building on personal connections like these.

Sunday’s event was the first gathering of its kind. Harder says, “the discussions have been going on for almost a year already and out of that has come this meeting.”

The group of about 140 people, including children, created quite a buzz in the large meeting room on the upper floor of the Shekinah Retreat Centre. To begin, they gathered around tables for some games led by co-facilitator Hanane Eduardo to find out what Mennonites know about Muslims and vice versa.

“We had lots of questions about them, they had questions about us, so we thought this would be a great opportunity to mingle,” says Eduardo.

Originally from Lebanon, Eduardo came to Canada about 30 years ago and is part of a group at her mosque called “The Media and Outreach Group.” She says, “we decided with Harry that it would be great for both our communities to get together.”

After the games, the group dispersed for outdoor activities, followed by a potluck supper.

Amin Elshorbagy is part of the local Muslim Communications and Outreach Committee and serves as National President of the Canadian Islamic Congress. He says the idea is “to get to know each other instead of just hearing about one another. Many people here in Canada have heard about Muslims but they didn’t get to deal with them on a personal level.”

Their local group once invited Harder to speak at an annual dinner

on the occasion of the Islamic History Month in Canada. Elshorbagy has been in Canada 15 years and is a professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan.

The Muslim Community has used the retreat facility at Shekinah for several of their own retreats so the location seemed like a natural choice for this gathering.

Harder spoke of Shekinah as being a “thin place.”

“In Christian Celtic traditions they have the idea of ‘thin places.’ There are certain geographical locations in the world where people can experience God,” said Harder. “The curtain between the material and the divine is thinner there and so though we can’t really see God in most of the world around us, there are certain places where this happens more readily. You feel closer to God. For Muslims that’s probably in Mecca which is so important to them spiritually. For Mennonites, a lot of very important spiritual things have happened at Shekinah, so for Mennonites, Shekinah is a thin place.”

Though Sunday’s meeting was about personal connections, both groups also have a spiritual connection to the place.

Harder was pleased with the turnout and figured that most of the attendees are from the valley area between the two rivers. He believes that in today’s society we don’t have that many opportunities to meet people and “we live as isolated communities.” A brief encounter in the grocery check-out line isn’t enough to connect with people.

“This kind of gathering allows people to make personal connections, attach a name to a face and they will have communicated in a legitimate way,” he said. “People will end up with personal connections with Muslims. What happens here officially isn’t nearly as important as the human connections we can make.”

Horoscopes CAPRICORN Trust is not easily attained, Capricorn, so step lightly and make sure no break occurs. A blast from the past revives interest in a project cast aside.

AQUARIUS A senior is in a pickle, and it’s up to you to help them out of it, Aquarius. Be gentle but firm in your approach. A deadline is extended.

PISCES A repair proves more troublesome than thought. Leave it to the pros, Pisces. You have bigger fish to fry. A young relative strikes a bargain with you.

ARIES Plans to get together with an old friend fall through, and you stumble onto something downright glorious. Enjoy, Aries. A phone call bears intriguing news.

TAURUS Stop stalling, Taurus. You know what needs to be done, so do it. A web of deceit begins to build at work. Don’t add to it or tear it apart. That’s best left to someone else.

GEMINI A new source of revenue eases financial constraints and puts you in a happier frame of mind. A little known fact surfaces and eases work drama. Whew, Gemini.

CANCER The pursuit of the truth is not in vain. Keep at it, Cancer, and secrets will be revealed. An organization could use a helping hand—your helping hand.

LEO Don’t be shy, Leo. You have talent. Put it to good use. A switch in personnel is a welcome change at work. Interest in a hobby begins to wane.

VIRGO A lapse in focus wreaks havoc on a project. Take time out to gather your bearings and rethink your strategy, and you’ll return better equipped, Virgo.

LIBRA Come on, Libra. You’ve held back long enough. Time to patch things up. A reprieve at work gives you the chance to prepare for a bigger project. Don’t let it go to waste.

SCORPIO Cram one more thing in, and life might just start crumbling around you. The need to get organized is clear, Scorpio. The motivation lags but not for long.

SAGITTARIUS There is such a thing as too much, Sagittarius. Scale back and enjoy what life has given you. A family event uncovers a real need. Fulfill it.

Blades sharpen up for Memorial Cup run

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

Josh Nicholls (above) takes part in a drill during the Saskatoon Blades training camp in Martensville last weekend. Blades head coach Lorne Molleken (right) says the team will have the experience and the depth to make a successful Memorial Cup run this season. The Memorial Cup takes place in May, 2013.

OK Corral to host rodeo The OK Corral is hosting the Saskatchewan High School Rodeo this weekend, September 8 and 9. Located 4 miles north of Martensville and 1 mile east on Powerline Road, the event is open to everyone. Admission is $5 per person or $15 per family per day.

he Saskatoon Blades have their sights set on the Memorial Cup this season, as they gear up to host the major junior hockey championship tournament in May, 2013.

But they want to make it to the final game the hard way, by winning the WHL championship. And the only way to do that is to take it one game at a time.

And that includes the preseason game this weekend in Warman.

“It’s very important for us to come out of the gate fast and get a good start this season,” says Blades head coach Lorne Molleken. “Getting off to an early positive start will build all kinds of confidence with this group.”

Setting the bar high at the beginning of the season also helps the coaching staff keep on raising it.

“It will be a bit of a measuring stick for us as we move forward,” continued Molleken.

The

“It will indicate what types of changes we might have to make as we approach the 20year old deadline, and also the trade deadline in January.”

The Blades’ coach made the comments at press conference late last week. The team announced the promotion of Dave Struch to the position of Associate Coach, as well as the hiring of Tim Cheveldae as goaltending coach and Daryl Lubiniecki as WHL scout for the team. The coaching and scouting staff are now all Blades’ alumni. “The staff are all former Blades,” said Molleken. “It’s a unique feature and it shows we all take pride in our team and our city.”

Molleken said the team will rely heavily on the veterans to carry the team through a long season.

“We have 17 players returning from last year’s squad, and we also acquired 3 more 19 year-olds in the off-

season,” he said. “Experience will play a big role in our team this year.”

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Chris Collins, one of the returning veterans, says the possibility of an NHL lockout this fall could have an impact on some WHL teams, but won’t be felt to the same extent by the Blades.

“For the most part, I think everyone on our team was coming back,” said Collins in an interview. “But amongst the other teams in the league, there’s definitely going to be a lot of guys who are going to be pushed off their teams because guys are coming back

from NHL training camps.”

Collins said he’s pumped to have one more shot at the Memorial Cup. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said.

“We’re all focusing on the present, and I want to make the most of this year.”

Josh Nicholls, another veteran, said hosting the Memorial Cup is the perfect end to his junior hockey career. “I’m pretty excited about it,” he said. “We’ll have a good team.”

The Blades trimmed their roster to 33 players following their weekend training camp in Martensville, On Tuesday, Defenceman Tommy Stipancik was given his release, while goaltender Adam Todd has been re-assigned.

Team practices continued during the week at the Martensville arena in the leadup to the pre-season contests against Prince Albert.

The Blades host the Raiders at the Legends Centre in Warman on Saturday, September 8.

The 1600-seat arena is expected to sell out for the game.

Tickets cost $10 each and are available at the Legends Centre and the Blades ticket office at Credit Union Centre.
