First snowfall of the season leads to a flurry of collisions Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Warman RCMP Detachment

RADISSON COLLISION On October 22 at 9:00 p.m. police were called to a collision between two vehicles on Highway 16 between Radisson and Maymont.

A westbound 2006 Ford F-250 collided with a stationary 1995 F-150 that was parked on the shoulder of the road.

After the collision the F-250 rolled multiple times before coming to a rest in the ditch.

The driver, a 26-year-old Edmonton man, was uninjured.

Police attended and investigated the scene and found evidence that indicated the parked vehicle had been left on the shoulder, partially protruding into the driving lane of the highway.

The registered owner of the parked vehicle, a 32-yearold Swift Current man, was issued a violation ticket for stopping improperly on a highway.

DISOBEYING STOP SIGN On October 24 at 7:30 a.m. police were called to a traffic collision at Centennial Drive and Baycroft in Martensville.

Police observed that a 2001 Chevrolet Astro van had collided with a 2004 Dodge SX2 car. Investigation revealed that the Astro van had left the stop sign and proceeded into

the intersection and collided with the Dodge.

Ambulances were called as a precaution but no one was injured as a result of the collision. A 22-year-old Martensville man, the driver of the van, was issued a violation ticket for proceeding from a stop sign before safe to do so.

CHECKING THINGS OUT On October 27 at 11:30 p.m. police were contacted about a possible impaired driver leaving Saskatoon and traveling to Martensville in a 4-door Pontiac car. Police intercepted the vehicle about 15 minutes later in Martensville and interviewed the driver. As a result of the traffic stop police were satisfied that the driver was not impaired and allowed the driver to continue on.

BORDEN ROLLOVER On October 28 at 8:15 p.m. a single vehicle rollover collision was reported to RCMP. The collision occurred on Highway 16 near the Borden Bridge. There were no injuries. Police determined that the vehicle’s driver lost control of the vehicle on adverse road conditions as a result of a snow fall and wind. A 34-yearold woman from the Sweetgrass First Nation was issued a violation ticket for driving too fast for road conditions. Police remind the motoring pub-

lic that road conditions are not an excuse to avoid liability in a collision and that every driver is responsible to adjust their speed to the road conditions to avoid a collision.

THREE-VEHICLE CRASH On October 29 at 9:45 a.m. RCMP received a call of a multi-vehicle collision on Highway 16, three kilometres west of Maymont in the westbound lanes. A tractor-trailer unit was stopped on the shoulder of the road when another vehicle stopped to render assistance. That vehicle was rearended by a third vehicle causing the occupant of one of the vehicles to be injured. EMS attended and transported one patient to hospital with undetermined injuries. The westbound lanes were restricted to one lane while police investigated the incident. The matter is still under investigation.

SNOWFALL HEADACHES During the week of October 22 - 29 there were 19 motor vehicle collisions reported to RCMP, three of which involved injuries to occupants of the vehicles involved. In three of those collisions charges were laid; in several others police are still gathering statements and have not yet laid charges.

The recent snow falls are a factor in most of these collisions, but the factor that is resulting

in charges is frequently that people have not appropriately adjusted their driving to compensate for the slippery roads and diminished visibility.

occurring in the early evening hours around 9:00 p.m. Anyone who may know the identity of the perpetrators is asked to contact the Warman RCMP.

MISCHIEF IN WARMAN In the past week there have been five incidents of minor mischief at the Seniors’ Complex in Warman. Youth have been observed throwing snowballs at the building and then taunting the elderly residents when they look out to investigate the source of the noise. This activity has been

SOLAR LIGHTS DAMAGED On October 28 at 7:30 p.m. police received a report that some solar lights were damaged at a residence on the 500 block of Crystal Cres., Warman.

HAVING A BLAST

Warman celebrates city status, grand opening of Legends Centre

By TERRY PUGH

T

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he people of Warman celebrated their community’s elevation to city status last weekend with a party that won’t soon be forgotten.

Combining history, poetry, music, sports, delicious food and a dazzling display of fireworks with just the right touch of pomp and ceremony, the City of Warman staged a massive public event in the new Legends recreation complex that attracted between 1,000 and 2,000 people over the course of the day.

“It was amazing,” said Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence after the event.

“It really was a time when people showed their pride in their community and celebrated how far we’ve come and what we can look forward to.”

The Warman City Celebration kicked off just after noon with an official ribbon-cutting marking the grand opening of The Legends Centre. The $23 million facility houses a state-of-the-art arena, fitness club and two indoor soccer pitches. While one is still under construction and will be joined to the new Warman Community Middle School next fall, the other soccer pitch is ready for use and was the space used for the city celebration.

Spence used a giant pair of scissors to cut the ribbon officially opening The Legends Centre complex, declaring that the facility was built thanks to the efforts of grassroots volunteers who contributed their time, labour and funds to the facility because they wanted to improve the quality of life in Warman. She acknowledged the contribution of the provincial government and the Prairie Spirit School Division as well.

The newly-opened soccer pitch provided ample room for the crowd of over 600 people gathered for the festivites. Emcees Gord Thompson and Terry Jenson ran an efficient program that saw the official signing of the proclamation of city status, a pictorial history of Warman from 1906 to the present day, and an address by Bryan Warman Jr., the grandson of Cy Warman (1855-1914), the Americanborn journalist and poet after whom the community was named.

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall congratulated the community on becoming the province’s newest city in a pre-recorded video address that was shown on a big screen.

Hon. Jim Reiter, Minister of Government Relations, welcomed Warman as the province’s newest city, noting that it brings to 16 the to-

tal number of urban centres with over 5,000 population.

“Saskatchewan is booming and no part of the province is growing more quickly than this area north of Saskatoon,” said Reiter. “It’s a big part of the Saskatchewan success story.”

Reiter said he initially thought the timing of the city celebration was flawed, since it meant he had to turn down an invitation to watch the Saskatchewan Roughriders game on his friend’s new big-screen television.

“I told him I was committed to this event,” said Reiter. “Then when I got here and I realized that you folks had a two-storey giant inflatable screen over in the corner and were showing the game live, I knew I wasn’t going to miss a thing. After this is over I’m going to take a picture and send it to him. His teeny little 60-inch screen just didn’t cut it.”

Hon. Nancy Heppner, MLA for the constituency and Minister of Central Services, congratulated the community on its growth and noted that in the next provincial election, the constituency name for the area will be changed to “Martensville-Warman” to equally reflect the two cities. Currently, it is known as Martensville Constituency.

Winds of change are sweeping through the Rural Municipality of Corman Park.

On Wednesday, October 24, the electorate turned out in unprecedented numbers to put former RM of Corman Park councillor Judy Harwood firmly in the driver’s seat as the new reeve.

In an interview following the election, Harwood said her team was amazed at the highest voter turnout (46%) in over 25 years.

Whether ratepayers specifically wanted Harwood or were desperately seeking change – above all else – is less clear. But, Harwood comes with a platform of respect and enough experience to have gained a strong vote of confidence.

CHANGE NEEDED Harwood says adding her name to the ballot was an evolution.

“I wasn’t happy with the conduct in council chambers,” she explained, “and probably just watching the dynamics in our entire RM – not just in my division – I was just not happy with the way things were going.”

Harwood is a successful businessperson, having been named one of the Ten Most Influential Women in Saskatchewan by Sask. Business Magazine. She has managed 250 employees, previously sat on the RM council for six years and has served on a variety of boards, including currently on district planning.

Harwood has previously mentioned her concern with the disrespectful verbal discourse in council meetings.

“For anyone that’s been in business if things are escalating, you do the other, you try to bring it back down, you try to soften the

Hepburn embraces town status in wake of municipal election

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

B

arb Adams Eichendorf is back at the helm of the community of Hepburn following the October 24 municipal election, but the incumbent Mayor has a brand new title.

She’s the first Mayor of the Town of Hepburn. The municipality took the step up from village to town status to coincide with the election. The newly-elected council is the first Town Council for Hepburn.

In some respects, it’s a big change. But when it comes to the day-to-day operations of the town, it’s business as usual.

“It’s quite exciting to be a town and to be recognized as a vibrant, growing community,” said Adams Eichendorf in a post-election interview on Thursday, October 25. “The new town status reflects the fact that we’re growing and changing. It’s a positive step for attracting new residents and new businesses.”

She noted the town’s newly-operational treated water supply from Saskatoon has made a huge difference over the past year in encouraging people to put down roots in the community.

“Our new housing subdivision called Whisper Ridge is being developed,” said Adams Eichendorf. “Work has

Dangerous driving in Orange Zone results in charges On October 12 at 4:00 p.m.

RCMP responded to a two vehicle collision on Highway 16 near the intersection of Dalmeny Road in the westbound lanes.

This intersection is the site of extensive construction activity and is currently a 60 km/h zone as a result. On the date mentioned a 35 year old Asquith man was westbound on highway 16 in his Toyota Tundra truck just east of the construction area when he slowed to 60 km/h in compliance with the change in speed limit.

The man advised police that he observed a tractortrailer unit operating erratically behind him in what may have been a last minute attempt to pass him before the construction zone. He then reported observing the tractortrailer unit close the distance between them at highway speeds.

The tractor-trailer unit then collided with the rear of the Toyota truck and pushed it for almost 400 metres before coming to a stop.

The truck sustained extensive damage.

Police attended and the driver of the tractor-trailer unit was arrested for dangerous driving. As a result of an investigation a formal charge of dangerous driving has been laid against Marvin Wolfe, 47, of Winkler, Manitoba. Wolfe was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in Provincial Court in Saskatoon on December 12th in answer to the charge.

Fortunately, no one was injured as a result of this collision. RCMP remind the public to pay particular attention to the Orange Zone in the wake of this and other high profile incidents.

been going on there all summer and fall. We have the water lines in and they’ll keep working on developing the lots right up until weather conditions force them to come to a halt.”

She said the housing development will see 30 new lots come on stream starting next spring. “That is a huge increase in our housing supply,” she noted. “But we have inquiries all the time about what lots are available here. As the communities just north of Saskatoon like Martensville and Warman get larger, that puts pressure onto us a little bit as people look for affordable places to live.”

She said even with town status, there is still a very “small-town feel” to Hepburn.

“We’re actually still the kind of place where you can get to know almost everyone,” she said. “We have the advantage of being large enough to attract development and growth, but we still are able to manage the growth in a gradual way. It’s a good situation for us.”

She said in addition to the housing development and the new water line and treatment plant, the town is upgrading its sewer system with a new lift station and increasing the capacity of the pump from 5 horsepower to 15 horsepower.

“That’s a sizable change,”

said Adams Eichendorf. “We realized this needed attention when we were doing the water project. When you have a water system with a standby generator, you don’t want to lose pressure in the water system because your sewer system has to keep running too.”

Adams Eichendorf has served two terms as a village councilor and two terms as Mayor of Hepburn.

“This is my third term as Mayor,” she said with a smile.

“Maybe I’m getting a little long in the tooth, but there’s something to be said for having some continuity on council. There’s also something to be said about having new perspectives and a change in councilors. We always need new ideas and fresh perspectives. That’s absolutely necessary for us to continue to grow and progress. If you have the same people all the time, it can get stagnant.”

Adams Eichendorf will have plenty of fresh ideas when the new council takes the oath of office. She’s the only holdover from the previous council.

“There was a very large slate of candidates seeking office,” she said. “There were 10 candidates for 4 councilor positions, and we did have a very good voter turnout. I’m very excited about working with the new council in the coming years.”

Growth of communities reflected in PSSD enrolment numbers

By BRENDA ERICKSON

Communications Consultant Prairie Spirit School Division

T

he continuing unprecedented growth in the communities of Warman and Martensville is clearly reflected in the official 2012/13 enrolment numbers for Prairie Spirit School Division.

“The communities of Warman and Martensville have had an increase of almost 300 students this year,” said John Kuzbik, Director of Education. “This is a substantial increase for these schools that are already operating at maximum capacity.” This represents a 9% increase in student enrolment in these communities, a much higher rate than in other areas in the province. Kuzbik added that the growth in these communities around Saskatoon is exciting and very positive for the province as a whole.

Prairie Spirit Board of Education Chair, Larry Pavloff, said the Board appreciates the Ministry of Education’s plans to review the provincial education funding model to recognize the unique needs of growing school divisions.

RELOCATABLES ADDED As one strategy to accommodate the growing numbers of students, the schools in Warman and Martensville have had multiple relocatable classrooms added, with several more temporary classrooms currently under construction.

In total, the schools in these communities have had 14 relocatable classrooms added since 2011.

Pavloff noted that the Division already knows it will need additional classroom spaces for next fall, but the approval process cannot ensure that the spaces are ready for

September. In addition, Pavloff said the Board would prefer permanent school construction for these growing, established communities rather than the temporary remedy offered by relocatable classrooms.

“The Ministry agrees that the current process for allocating relocatable classrooms isn’t as effective as we would like,” said Pavloff. “We need the relocatable classrooms in place for students at the start of the school year. With the current approval schedule, these classrooms are completed six months after school starts in the fall.”

CREATIVE PROGRAMMING Teachers and staff in both communities have had to be very creative in accommodating student numbers without impacting educational programming. For example, both Warman Elementary and Valley Manor Elementary have had to move their staff rooms to the stage in the gym to open up more classroom spaces.

“Unlike urban school divisions, we don’t have the option of sending our students to another school that has available room,” Kuzbik explained.

Schools in Martensville and Warman are also experiencing a growth in their English as an Additional Language (EAL) student population.

This year, there are 63 identified students in Warman who require EAL support, compared to 13 students two years ago. Martensville schools have 29 EAL students, compared to nine students two years ago.

RELIEF ON THE WAY Some relief is on the way for these growing communities. Prairie Spirit is in the midst of its first new school construction project since the

school division was formed through the amalgamation of three school divisions in 2006.

The $23.1 million Warman Community Middle School facility, which is attached to the Legends Centre, is expected to be substantially completed by the time school starts in fall, 2013.

At this point, the new school is projected to open with over 700 students. The grades at the school will be determined once the project is nearing completion. Warman Elementary currently has PreKindergarten through Grade five students, while Warman High School has grades six through 12.

HIGH SCHOOL EXPANSION In addition, the Ministry of Education has approved the expansion and renovation of Martensville High School, which will more than double the size of the current facility, adding approximately 50,000 square feet to the building.

The project is estimated to cost $26.3 million and is scheduled to be completed in 2016. It is expected that Grade 7 and 8 students from the City’s two elementary schools will move to the completed high school facility to alleviate the overcrowding in those schools.

This grade reconfiguration will depend on the enrolment numbers at that time.

The Prairie Spirit Board of Education has already made formal application to the Ministry of Education for a third elementary school in Martensville and for a second elementary school in Warman.

ENROLMENT RISING Prairie Spirit School Division has over 9800 students this year, the seventh consecutive year of increasing enrolments for the division.

Thank You For Your Support

With the largest voter turnout in 25 years our mandate has been approved by the electorate.

For our positive future we now must all work together to start to heal and grow our RM.

After all, would there be many viable farms if every dollar made were instantly ploughed back into paying down machinery loans with no thought of how to keep the operation viable in the lean years?

So why would it make sense to wait until the Saskatchewan debt is fully paid down before we begin to start to save any money through Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Heritage Initiative?

Despite all the other good ideas in Wall’s growth agenda, the Heritage Fund proposal doesn’t seem all that well thought out.

Perhaps this isn’t surprising.

Governments do tend to think in four-year cycles that generally involve things like tax breaks, utility rebates and spending on more tangible infrastructure projects they can talk about when they seek voter support. Savings are seldom top-of-mind.

This Heritage Fund was also an idea borrowed from Dwain Lingenfelter and the NDP, who campaigned on a Heritage/Sovereign Fund in the election a year ago. To simply adopt the Lingenfelter model – which didn’t seem all that well defined in the first place – makes no sense. More thought was obviously required.

For that reason, it makes sense for Wall to get former University of Saskatchewan President Peter MacKinnon (who happens to be the husband of former NDP finance minister, Janice MacKinnon) to explore the model that would best fit this province. MacKinnon will travel the world in the coming year looking at funds from Norway to Alaska – two models Lingenfelter cited last year.

It also likely makes sense to ensure that MacKinnon’s parameters are as open-ended as possible. In fairness to Wall, he has suggested in interviews that there may be more flexibility than the paper suggested when it comes to waiting for the debt to be paid off before starting the fund. He add-

The City of Creede, Colorado, extends sincere congratulations to the new City of Warman, Saskatchewan!

Warman is clearly a boomtown, and your rapid growth in recent years has been very impressive. For those that don’t know it, there is a colorful and historical connection that I would like to briefly touch upon between the new City of Warman, Saskatchewan and the City of Creede, Colorado.

The City of Warman was named after Cy Warman (18551914). This frontier journalist’s writings immortalized the rough-and-tumble romance of Creede’s mining boom of 1892. Our community mushroomed to over 10,000 people virtually overnight, when silver was discovered near the headwaters of the Rio Grande River in Colorado’s beautiful Rocky Mountains. Cy Warman started a daily newspaper, the Creede Chronicle, at the height of the silver rush, and his stories, articles and poems captured the atmosphere of the Wild West perfectly. His poem titled, “There is No Night in Creede” embodied the spirit of that time, and still resonates our history to this present day as our mine operations resume.

The original boom was short-lived, and despite its ups and downs over the years, Creede has not only survived, it has flourished. These days, we are once again a boomtown every summer, when thousands of tourists come here for the fishing, scenery, arts, and history. Cy Warman’s poems and stories continue to paint a stunning portrait of our valley, and we owe him a great debt - for without him, we would only have pictures to tell this tale. Instead however, we also have his words to accompany what life was like during this era.

Cy Warman was an American legend, but his work really belongs to the world. After he and his wife Marie left Colorado, they went to New York, and then to London, Ontario – where they raised a family. He also travelled to the Klondike, Europe, the Middle East . . . and finally the western Canadian prairies – writing as he went and living life to the fullest. Although it’s been almost 100 years since he passed away, many of his best-known books are still in print, and hopefully people will continue to read his stories and poems a hundred years from now! We are happy to hear that a community, especially a western boomtown, was named in his honor.

Again, congratulations to the new City of Warman. And by the way, this is an open invitation to visit Creede – winter or summer – for a great Rocky Mountain style holiday.

We would love to host you. Our website is www.creede.com Sincerely,

Eric Grossman

Mayor/City of Creede, Colorado

SHR flu clinics put on hold Saskatoon Health Region has put all influenza immunization clinics on hold until further notice.

This comes as a result of a decision by Health Canada to have the manufacturer of two brands of the vaccine, which is used in Saskatchewan, to stop distribution. Health Canada has called this a “precautionary approach.”

There have been no reports of unusual or adverse reactions to the vaccine.

ed that when the fund starts is something MacKinnon will be tasked to examine.

This is a hopeful sign.

One practical problem for Saskatchewan is that our current budgets are razor-thin – even with the strong resource economy. This begs the question: How do we fund the Fund?

Raising potash or oil royalties is something that Wall said he has no interest in doing.

And whether we will naturally gain more revenue through resource expansion

and increased production is a question. For example, the mine at Kronau has already been nixed. PotashCorp is shutting down its operations for eight weeks. And the latest development sees BMO warning BHP Billiton that pouring money into the massive Jansen mine – what would be the biggest in world – makes little sense when the world is already suffering from an over-supply of potash.

But despite all this, it doesn’t make sense to wait for debt to be paid down.

In fact, it’s especially critical that we don’t wait, given the nature of such Heritage Funds. They are quite capable of generating their own revenue through interest or putting the dollars in investments.

One gets that this has be-

come a province – at least on the political rhetoric level – obsessed with debt paydown. It’s what politicians tell us is necessary. It’s what people say they want.

But if the current debt situation is manageable, is it really necessary to wait until every penny of debt is paid before we start saving? Would any of us decide not to start saving for our own retirement until our mortgage is paid off?

At the current snail’s pace of debt paydown, it will be another 60 years before our debt is eliminated. Only then would we be able to start the fund.

The sooner we start looking at putting something aside from our one-time non-renewal resources, the better off we will all be.

ADVICE FOR REAL LIFE

‘Scared Scriptless’ Aspiring thespians welcome even if they’ve never set foot on stage

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A

new season, and a new name.

The Warman Drama Club has been rechristened the “Scared Scriptless Players” in a nod to the fun-loving atmosphere that comes with good, old-fashioned community theatre.

The club is entering its fifth year and gearing up for its latest production, entitled “Moon Over Buffalo”. Auditions for the play - a comedy, naturally - are being held Wednesday, November 7 at 7:00 p.m. at the Legends Centre in Warman.

“We’re hoping that a lot of people come out to the auditions,” said Carol Affleck, Artistic Director for the club. “The play requires a fairly large cast - 4 men and 4 women ages 20 to 70 - so there’s plenty of roles to fit everybody.”

Affleck says the auditions are open to everyone, whether they have theatre experience or not, and they’re looking not just for actors, but also for people who can help out behind the scenes.

“If you have some theatre experience, then you know how much fun it is, and you also have a good idea about how much work is involved and the time required,” said Affleck. “But you also know the rewards that come with the applause.”

She said the group is also hoping to pull in new people who have no experience with live theatre.

“It’s fantastic to get fresh young people that have never been onstage before,” she said. “It opens up a whole new avenue, and you get to meet some really amazing people.”

Jamie MacRae, President of the club, speaks from experience when she says the best way to get caught up with acting fever is to dive right in.

“I got involved with the club when it first began five years ago,” MacRae explained. “I saw an ad in the town newsletter and decided to go for it. I was interested in the theatre but I hadn’t done any acting since high TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE school, so I really didn’t have any idea what was involved.

The drama club, based in Warman, is holding auditions next Wednesday for a comedy great sense of accomplishment and you make a lot of new friends. It’s a that will be staged in March. great way to become involved in the community.”

Affleck, who works as Artistic Director for a professional theatre organization in Saskatoon, Persephone Theatre, said community theatre clubs are a vital part of Saskatchewan’s cultural fabric.

“There’s actually not much in the way of community theatre in Saskatoon, since the demise of Gateway Players,” said Affleck. “But in Warman, in Langham, in Osler and other communities, it’s very much alive. It’s great entertainment.”

Councillors woke up ‘excited’

City of Warman Voters Thank You for Your Support

Continued from Page 3

situation. I’ve been on enough boards in my career, I know how you can operate and be effective and still be respectful.”

ELECTION OPTIMISM Once the election results were final, Harwood said her team, which was gathered at the German Concordia Club, was calm and hopeful. In spite of the large voter turn-out and convincing defeat of the incumbent, the mood was relatively low-key.

“There was not a great hurrah,” she said. “But we felt optimistic that people want a change.” People weren’t bashing the past but looking to the future. The feeling was, “we want to learn from the past but not dwell on it. We want to move forward,” she said.

Respect and team building will be at the core of her approach as the new reeve.

When she talks about respect Harwood means a couple of things: “treat people the way I wanted to be treated, respect who you are, your thoughts, give you time to say what you have to say, listen to you and not belittle or judge.”

NEW ATMOSPHERE Under the former reeve, she said, the tone of meetings was taking its toll. Changes are being welcomed by a number of the councillors. Harwood got a call from the wife of one councillor who said her husband woke up with a smile on his face after the election.

“Fear was pervasive. It went into families too,” Harwood explained. Some of the councillors had gone to meetings with a knot in their stomach, and morale among RM staff was reportedly not good.

“The councillors that have called me are excited about the change,” she said.

“They’re looking forward to us all working together. I keep talking about building a team and I’m a big believer in that.”

SPECIAL MEETING SET A special council meeting will take place November 5 where Harwood will begin with an in camera session with councillors to help set the tone for how things will go forward.

A report prepared by Meyers Norris Penny (MNP)LLP recommended that council members seek guidance in governance. Harwood will encourage council members to follow this recommendation and avail themselves of training which would include governance, policies and procedures as a councillor, and probably ethics.

Zane Dmytryshyn City Councillor

WORKING TOGETHER To learn what the issues are, Harwood plans to meet with the mayors in the communities that are part of the RM, as well as city of Saskatoon mayor Don Atchison.

“My Dad used to say, ‘You have two ears and one mouth, so you should listen more than you talk,’ and I’m certainly prepared to do that,” commented Harwood. She also plans to meet with Jim Reiter, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs in Saskatchewan, who has experience as an RM administrator.

As part of her campaign Harwood conducted four meet & greets in Osler, Langham, South Corman Park area and Division 4 which is the Moon Lake area, all of which provided many insights.

“What it showed me is not only that we have a large RM with diverse needs and lifestyle, but at the same time there’s still a common thread,” she said. “Everyone still wants to work together and have a wonderful RM. But I think it also shows us that we have to

understand each other’s lifestyles.”

She would say to those that want to split the RM because it’s too diverse, look at Canada. “I don’t know a country more diverse and yet we’re still one and we seem to be able to make it work with 35 million people. So I’m hoping with 8600 we can make it work.”

SPENDING GUIDELINES Harwood campaigned on the promise to spend rate payers’ tax dollars responsibly. Concerns about spending their money on firings without cause and lawsuits have already been expressed. But the new reeve adds, she will not ask ratepayers to fund having a policeman at every council meeting as the former reeve did.

Harwood hasn’t been on her horse for six weeks. She is an animal lover with many horses, dogs and cats that share her family’s 80 acres in what is now Division 4 of the RM. She enjoys time spending time with her family who supported her campaign. She’s the kind of person who, while

12105MF01

campaigning door to door meets a man who lost his dog and temporarily forgets the campaign to help the man find his dog.

THE WORK BEGINS Now the work begins.

“Personally,” Harwood says, “I feel confident but I’m smart enough to know what I don’t know.” So she places a high value on teamwork and communication. “We’re not always going to agree, but we need to build teams and try to work together and it’s basically about respect and listening to what people have to say.”

“This is a big RM with lots of opportunities that are going to come at us fast and furious and we’d better be ready.”

Her goal is to make decisions based on what’s best for the ratepayers of Corman Park.

“The bar is very high so now we have to make sure we deliver,” she concluded.

CALL FOR AUDITIONS: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7 @ 7:00 PM AT THE LEGENDS CENTRE, MEETING RM #3

The Scared Scriptless Players are pleased to announce the name of their production for their 5th season is Moon Over Buffalo. The hilarious comedy centers on the characters George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950’s. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, New York with 5 other actors. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, abetted by a visit from their daughter’s clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing, caused by Charlotte’s deaf old stage-manager mother who hates every bone in George’s body! A perfect set up for a “roll in the aisle comedy!”

Roles for 4 males, 4 females • Ages range is 20’s to 70’s Rehearsals begin Thursday, January 3 @ 7:00 pm and will be held every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday from 7-10.

Mayor striving to build a ‘connected community’

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

K

ent Muench, the newly-elected Mayor of Martensville, is hoping his city will become a truly “connected community” over the next four years.

“I really want to work towards building a better community where people feel connected to each other, to their physical surroundings, and to the city administration and elected representatives,” said Muench. “My focus is on finding ways for people to become engaged in their community in positive ways.”

Muench, who has served three consecutive terms on Martensville council, brings nine years of experience to the Mayor’s chair. He won the post in a landslide victory in the municipal election on Wednesday, October 24, receiving 741 votes in a three-way electoral contest. The other candidates in the race were Darnell Kuzek (225 votes) and Scott Pilling (42 votes).

In a post-election interview on Thursday, October 25, Muench said he’s excited about the rapid growth Martensville is currently experiencing, and says he wants to keep the momentum going.

“Over the past several months, and particularly during the election campaign, I heard many people say they would like to see expanded commercial and industrial development in Martensville,” said Muench. ‘They want to see the tax base broadened, and they also want to see increased services and increased employment in their home community. Those are definitely things that I agree with and I want to see those things happen.”

The other priority for many residents is the continued development of parks and recreation facilities.

“We’ve made a lot of positive strides in the last few years with our new aquatic centre and our parks and our walking trails,” he said.

“The challenge is to finish off those projects and bring new facilities on stream that connect with what is already here. For example, Kinsmen Park still needs a lot of work, and there are sports grounds that need to be developed in partnership with the school division. That process is in place and the wheels are turning, but it’s a big challenge and we need to keep things moving.”

Muench wants to bridge what he says is a perceived “gap” between ratepayers and elected representatives and the city administration.

“It’s not something that’s particular to Martensville,” he said. “It’s a more general thing that I think many communities are trying to deal with.

A lot of people just don’t feel engaged in their community. I don’t think it’s apathy. I think it’s about providing more opportunities for citizens to speak out and voice their ideas and suggestions and concerns. I really believe people want to feel like they are a part of their community, and they want to make it a better place to live and raise their family.”

He said when people feel like they have a voice and they are being heard, they take the time and effort to get involved. The challenge, he added, is to find ways of connecting with people.

“Meetings aren’t always the answer,” he said. “Meetings are part of the mix, but we need to find other ways of getting feedback from folks.

We have to use our city website and social networking and just plain faceto-face contact with people.”

Muench said he intends to be visible and accessible as Mayor. “I honestly enjoy talking to people, and I’m really looking forward to the next four years as Mayor,” he said. “I think we’ve done a lot of good things over the past several years, but there are many more good ideas and projects that still need to happen. We need fresh ideas and new perspectives, so I welcome the new faces on council and I think we can work well together as a team.”

The work starts right away, noted the newly-elected Mayor. “The orientation process for new councilors will help them get up to speed on the issues and projects,” he noted, adding the council meeting on November 6 will see the newly-elected council sworn into office.

Right after that, Muench will be participating in the City Mayor’s Caucus meeting.

“From a provincial perspective, Martensville definitely needs to be a major player at that table,” he said.

“We are one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and we need to be able to leverage the funding from the province and federal government, so we will be lobbying for that infrastructure funding.”

WARMAN

First city council gets down to business

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

L

ess than a week after the municipal election, members of Warman’s first city council signed the oath of office at their first meeting on Monday, October 29.

And then it was down to business for Mayor Sheryl Spence and councilors Richard Beck, Kevin Tooley, Gary Philipchuk, Zane Dmytryshyn, Kendall Shram and Trevor Peterson.

High on the priority list for the new city is participation in the provincial City Caucus meeting slated for early November. The City Caucus is part of the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA), and helps coordinate the province’s larger urban centres’ lobbying efforts with the provincial and federal governments.

Council received an update on major infrastructure projects currently underway in the City of Warman, including the reconstruction of a portion of Centennial Boulevard near the Legends Centre. A tender has been accepted in the amount

of $1.859 million for the roadwork, which was within the $1.484 million budget allocated for roadwork in 2012, according to Ivan Gabrysh, Warman’s Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). He noted that an additional $375,000 is also allocated to the project in the 2013 city budget. In a report to council, Gabrysh also noted that the project to install a new 18inch underground water supply pipeline in Warman is about 80 per cent completed.

The horizontal drilling project has been underway for several weeks

by HD Accurate Drilling, he noted, adding the new pipe has been laid and open trenches filled in at the intersection of Second Avenue and Central Street. The work has since shifted to an area around Second Avenue and Murray Crescent. The 18-inch pipeline replaces an existing 8-inch pipeline that was installed decades ago, and is needed to accommodate the demand for water created by recent expansion of the community.

The pipeline will connect to the city’s main water reservoir where a new water metering station is being built.

Warman’s Director of Planning, Brad Toth, told councilors the year so far has seen unprecedented growth in the community. “To date there have been 230 single family dwellings constructed in Warman in 2012,” said Toth. “We’ve also had 42 duplexes built and 2 multi-family residences under construction.” He noted there are plans for two new subdivisions in the city that will be coming to council in the next few weeks.

“Because of the rapid growth, there is also a need to update our future growth map for Warman,” said Toth. “The existing one was intended to outline broad land use projections for 20 to 30 years, but the past 10 years have seen more growth than was predicted when that plan was put in place.” Over the next two months, councilors will work on the future growth plan, and a public open house will be scheduled for early 2013.

Sarah King, Warman’s Economic development Officer, noted the city’s new, redesigned website is now up and running. The website is online at www.warman.ca .

CELEBRATING CITY STATUS

Hundreds of residents of Warman and surrounding communities turned out for the celebration at the Legends Centre in Warman on Saturday, October 27. (Top right) Marcia Shackelford and her 5-year old adopted daughter Nicolette of Los Angeles, California, were among the participants. Marcia Shackelford is a great-granddaughter of Cy Warman (1855-1914), an American-born poet and journalist after whom the City of Warman is named. While Shackelford grew up New York State and learned to skate as a youngster, this was her daughter’s first experience with ice-skating. (Inset) Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence cuts the celebration cake.

CELEBRATION

Special guests at the ceremony included a number of newly-elected municipal leaders including Martensville Mayor Kent Muench, Osler Mayor Ben Buhler, and RM of Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood.

Leonard Doell and Sharon Martens took the podium to tell the story of the history of the community. Their stories, which combined a mixture of personal anecdotes with over a hundred historic and contemporary photographs projected onto the big screen, captivated the crowd. Their narrative brought the character of the community to the forefront and illustrated how the Mennonite tradition is now merging with a new, younger and more cosmopolitan influx of families from across the province and beyond.

Bryan Warman Jr. and his wife Linda, as well as his daughter Marcia and granddaughter Nicolette, came up from the United States to see, for the first time, the community that was named after their famous ancestor.

Cy Warman was employed as a publicist by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1905 and 1906 when the east-west rail line was being built across Saskatchewan. The author of over a dozen books was at the time one of the most widelyread and influential writers in North America, and the railway honoured him by naming the town. The community of Vonda, a few miles east, was named after Cy Warman’s young daughter, Vonda Marie Warman.

live in Lake Wylie, South Carolina. A retired investment banker, Bryan Warman related some key anecdotes in the life of his famous grandfather, including a period when Cy Warman was a newspaper editor in Creede, Colorado, in 1892. At the time, Creede was one of the wildest of American frontier towns, and many famous outlaws and gamblers lived there, including Bob Ford, the man who shot Jesse James.

Bryan Warman said it was a wonderful experience to come to Canada and share in the experience. “This is a truly remarkable place,” said Bryan Warman after the event.

“We really are quite moved by the way people came up to us and said how much they enjoyed learning about this little-known aspect of their community’s history. This is something we’ll always treasure.”

The first-ever “Taste of Warman” event at the celebration showcased a number of Warman restaurants, as the food vendors virtually sold out their stock to hungry people passing through the doors.

Most people, however, saved enough room for the City Celebration cake in the evening.

One of the highlights was a truly amazing display of fireworks put on by the Warman Fire Department in a field northeast of the Legends Centre. The display, which lasted about fifteen minutes, lit up the sky for miles around.

The evening was capped with an exhibition hockey game between the Warman Wildcats and Dundurn Wheat Kings.

Wolverines punch ticket to provincial semi-finals Warman beats Foam Lake 37-34 in quarter-final; sets up semi-final game in Warman this Saturday

By RANDY HEIDE

pslutheran@sasktel.net

O

ne down, two more games to go. The Warman Wolverines are on their way to the provincial 9-man high school football semi-final, after defeating the host Foam Lake Panthers 37-34 in a quarterfinal matchup on Staurday, October 27.

The victory sets up a showdown in Warman this Saturday, November 3 against Indian Head.

The Wolverines weren’t deterred by the biting cold weather, coming out on top of a seesaw battle against a tough Foam Lake team.

The Warman squad found themselves in a hole early in the contest but clawed their way back.

Less than two minutes after the opening kickoff, the Foam Lake Panthers scored the first touchdown of the game, but the Wolverines responded quickly with a major of their own.

The next score in the

game came at 8:53 of the second quarter when the Panthers plunged into the endzone with a second TD. However, they were unable to complete their convert, so the score was now 13-7 for the home team.

With three minutes left in the half, Warman’s Nyle Segovia connected on a long field goal, bringing the Wovlerines to within three points of the Panthers’ lead.

The Panthers responded with a touchdown with under a minute left in the 2nd quarter, cushioning their lead to 20-10.

But that wasn’t the end of a closely matched half.

The Wolverines scored on 3rd down from the one yard line with one second left in the half, tightening up this foot race to three points once again – as the score stood 2017 for the home town Foam Lake Panthers.

The third quarter saw the Wolverines take the lead for the first time with a touchdown at 3:48 left in quarter. That brought the

score to 20-24 for the visiting team, followed by another TD two minutes later, giving the wolverines a comfortable 31-20 cushion before the quarter closed.

The fourth quarter saw the Panthers score two unanswered TDs at 9:08 and 2:43.

However, only one of the two touchdowns were successfully converted, so the Panthers regained the lead 33-31.

On another third down gamble, the Wolverines took it to the house with 1:11 left on the clock to take the lead.

Warman failed to conert the touchdown but still led 37-33.

With 1.7 seconds left on the clock, the Panthers went for the Hail Mary, throwing the ball from deep in their end, only to be intercepted

by Warman’s Simon Epp. This ended the Panthers’ drive and clinched the victory for the Wolverines.

Warman coach Tyler Scheidt was proud of the way his team played in the tough conditions. It was the Wolverines’ second playoff victory in only their second playoff game.

“They battled for four quarters,” said Scheidt, noting there were some big plays that made a big differ-

Warman edged Foam Lake 37-34 in the provincial quarter-final last weekend ence in a very close game.

“There was a huge onehanded catch at the end by (wide receiver) Spencer Ulrich,” said Scheidt. “Adam Leik ran great all day.

“We don’t keep stats, but I’d think he had a 200yard game today. He kept pounding and pounding and pounding, yard after yard, that was huge.”

Scheidt said while the Panthers were able to contain the air attack, the same couldn’t be said of the ground war.

“They shut our passing game down,” conceded Scheidt. “But our running game was huge, and our de-

fence held.”

Scheidt gave credit to the Panthers for bouncing back in the second half.

“We thought we had them in the third quarter and then they came back,” he said. “The fourth quarter saw some big defensive stops.

The boys were very good on third downs today with 80-90 per cent conversions throughout the game.

Despite some frustrations with penalties the Wolverines kept their composure and didn’t stop playing.

“We’ve been in some close games,” said Scheidt.

“We know how to play in close games now, that’s nice.

We’ll keep working hard this week as we get ready for our semi-final game against Indian Head coming up (this week).”

The provincial semi-final game is slated for Neufeld Field in Warman on Saturday, November 3 at 2 p.m.

While the Wolverines regular season games have been free for spectators so far, that will change this weekend. According to the provincial SHSAA playoff guidelines, a gate fee is required for Saturday’s semifinal playoff game. The ticket prices are: adults $5, students (Grades 7-12) $3, children free.

Senior Boys 2A Championships

Provincial soccer championships held in Warman The Warman Wolverines Senior Boys soccer team gave it their best shot, but came up winless in the provincial 2A soccer tournament held in Warman last weekend.

In less-than-ideal conditions, including frozen turf and bone-chilling temperatures, eight teams braved the elements to vye for the provincial title over the two-day tournament.

This was the fifth time Warman High School has hosted the tournament, which sees some of the best high school soccer in the province, including several teams from Saskatoon.

Warman lost their opening game 3-0 to the Evan Hardy Souls on Friday, October 26. The Souls are the defending Saskatoon city-league champions.

Warman then lost a close game to Moose Jaw Central.

This loss meant they were out of the running for the final medals.

Evan Hardy captured the gold medal, beating secondplace Regina Miller 3-1 in the final game. The Aden Bowman Bears took home a bronze medal, beating Regina O’Neill 4-3 in the third-place game.

Delisle Rebels destroy Melville in quarter-finals KFL PLAYOFFS

Playoffs were held Sunday, October 28th for both Pee Wee and Bantam divisions.

A 58-0 blowout shows strength of Rebels’ offence and defence, provincial semi-final set for this Saturday

TOUCHDOWN BOUND

By HILARY KLASSEN

Uncatchable Tanner “Bucket” Olson (#84) shakes off a tackle to score an early touchdown

T

en years ago, the Delisle Rebels edged the Melville Cobras 14-13 to win their first-ever provincial 9-man high school football title.

How times have changed.

Last Saturday’s match between the two teams for the provincial quarter final wasn’t close at all, as the Rebels added another triumph to their impressive record, overwhelming the Cobras by a score of 58 – 0.

Rebels Coach Ken Byers was happy to have his team advance to the provincial semi-final next week.

“Well, obviously at this point of the year you’re just happy for a win,” said Byers.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s one nothing or 58 nothing, you just wanna get the “W” and maintain some health and go into the next week.”

To mark the decade since their first provincial championship, the Rebels had invited Andrew Busby to do the coin toss. Busby played in the Rebels’ 2002 championship game and went on to play for the Saskatoon Hilltops as well as the Regina Rams and has some pretty impressive statistics to his credit. The Rebels won the toss and opted to kick off to the Cobras and things were underway.

RUNNING START The Rebels opened the scoring when the Cobras failed to convert on their opening drive. After a couple of minutes of play, Tanner “Bucket” Olson ran in a completed pass thrown by quarterback Kyle Richardson. The Rebels second score came at 6:21 left in the first quarter when Richardson deked out the Cobras with a couple of fakes before completing a pass to Olson who dodged a tackle and hustled into the end zone.

DERDALL A GAME STAR Riley Derdall was the story for the Rebels in the second quarter, with a huge com-

pletion which he followed up with a touchdown with a minute left in the first half. A Melville fumble was recovered by Delisle, and Derdall continued to lead the charge with another major reception, followed by his second touchdown of the day, to close the first half at Delisle 32, Melville 0.

Derdall was fairly nonchalant about his successes.

“They forgot to put a defensive back out on me and I just turned around in the end zone and the ball was there,” he said. “It was a good throw by the quarterback and I just had to catch it and walk in. The second one was a pretty good throw again and I just had to dive for the end zone.”

Derdall may have been the dark horse of the game, and Byers was pretty pumped about his performance.

“He came in as a quarterback, caught six passes today and got two touchdowns,” said Byers. “In the entire season to this point he might have caught six passes so he did really a good job. And he threw a touchdown pass. It’s his best game blocking that he’s had.”

OLSON, SHIRLEY TDs Delisle sacked the Melville quarterback for the second time half way through the third quarter. Tanner Ol-

son was not yet done for the day, and scored another touchdown with 4:46 remaining in the third. With good blocking, he went wide and sprinted into the end zone.

Jeff Shirley shook off a few tackles to get a touchdown on the first play in the fourth quarter. Brendo Keelor gets credit for another quarterback sack with 2:30 left in the game. James Schumacher also brought one home for the Rebels with 1:20 left on the clock. Dane Arnsten completed the point after. Cobras quarterback Destin Brady had a huge run in a desperate attempt to get on the scoreboard.

But the Rebels dominance was complete.

CHANGE OF KICKERS Kicker Taylor Barber (#35) was injured on the last play of the first half. Byers said, “it was unintentional, the Melville guy just fell on him.

We’ll see what happens. If he’s injured then it’s an opportunity for another kid to step up.”

That kid would be Dane Arnsten who had been playing offense all season, but was moved over to defense last week.

“It’s because we’ve been playing teams that pass the ball more, so I moved over to the defense,” said Arnsten.

With the Rebels set to meet Melfort on Nov. 3 in Delisle for the semi-final, there is a need to beef up the defense, said Arnsten. “They’re gonna throw the ball a lot so I’m on defense,” he said. “If #35 isn’t okay I’ll be on defense for the rest of the year.”

Snow had been pushed off the field leaving a grassy surface for the players. But surprisingly, back in July it was just dirt. At the outset of the game, those who helped redo the field were thanked and car horns were honked in acknowledgement. Byers commented, “when they originally made the field in 2001, they didn’t pack it right and they didn’t make it crown and so what happened was it sank in the middle and it was a soup bowl, there was a 7 inch drop in the middle so it was useless.” Through volunteers, donations and innovation, this was the year to fix that problem.

But snow or not, the teams are keen to play. Byers said, “You want to play when there’s snow on the ground. If you’re good enough to play football in the snow that means you made the playoffs, that’s exactly what they want.” Delisle will host the semi-final on Saturday at 1:00 p.m., snow or shine.

All bad things must come to end There are very few positives one can take out of the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ current threegame losing streak. Really the only one which comes to mind is the fact they ARE on a losing streak, which will eventually end, a winning streak could be just around the corner.

It had better be, because the playoffs start in two weeks!

The latest defeat was another close one, 31-26 to the visiting Toronto Argonauts at a frigid Mosaic Stadium on Saturday. It was minus-9 with the windchill but

guard because I’d never stopped to think about it. The point of the question was, will the 2012 Saskatchewan Roughriders be content just to make it to the playoffs in this rebuilding year or will they not be satisfied without the ultimate prize?

No one can answer that right now. The fact is they’re not playing like a championship as of late as teams have been able to move the ball on them at key times, they’ve lost the turnover battle in all these losses and kicker Sandro Deangelis has had some costly missed field goals. To his defence, it must have felt like he was kick-

Really? Can you be sure? I think he definitely believes it but at the same time this streaky team has proven to be so unpredictable. It is possible to flip the switch when the games start to matter more but is this team veteran enough to do it?

“We’re in the playoffs and we’ll be ready to go,” Chamblin advised. “Football and winning streaks have been around longer than me so I can’t explain it.

But I’m waiting on the winning streak.”

Realistically they can afford one more loss but that’s all. After that the real bullets go in the gun.

Despite this, now is not the time to be panicking. The key is they’re in the playoffs and their success will come down to who’s better on that given Sunday and Chamblin knows he needs to keep his group upbeat.

“It was one of those games where they got points early,” Chamblin told CKRM radio.

“Our guys did a good job of fighting to the end. I told the guys I was proud of how they fought and this team will be ready when it’s time.”

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2012

Down time allows for reflection and preparation If the Saskatoon Blades were hoping nine consecutive days without playing a Western Hockey League game would allow them to be forgotten about, guess again!

While the Bridge City Bunch used the time off to reflect and attempt to get ready for a badlyneeded push up the standings, their 5-9-0 record and 11th place standing in the W.H.L.’s Eastern Conference stood out like the proverbial sore thumb to observers around the league.

Your humble correspondent was interviewed twice late last week by high-profile sports talk show personalities from Regina and Vancouver. Not surprisingly, the line of questioning was similar…mostly to do with, “What is wrong with the Blades?” and, “Will they surrender their spot as host team for the MasterCard Memorial Cup?” Regina talk show host Rod Pedersen pointed out, correctly, that the Bridge City Bunch’s stumbling start is reminiscent of a similar beginning to a Memorial Cup host season in 2000-01 by the Regina Pats. The common denominator, Pedersen pointed out, is that the head coach for both teams was/is Lorne Molleken!

In Vancouver, long-time

INSIDE EDGE

LES LAZARUK

Voice of the Blades on 92.9 The Bull

“Sportstalk” host Dan Russell was pretty relentless in the 15-minutes of on-air time about the Blades’ plight…going so far as to wonder whether, 1) Molleken would step aside as head coach?; 2) the Blades would follow what the 1990 Dukes of Hamilton did and relinquish hosting rights when they did not qualify for the O.H.L. playoffs?; 3) whether the W.H.L. or the C.H.L. would step in and force the Blades to give up being the hosts?

My answers to all were, “no”…at least for now! While, at some point, the “it’s still early in the season” line will cease to ring true, it still holds for the Saskatoon franchise. They need their best, key and most experienced players to start stepping up and producing as they have shown themselves capable of doing. For example, utilizing statistics as of Monday…

roster…and soon if things didn’t turnaround quickly! ***** UPCOMING GAMES – The Blades finally concluded their nine-days-without-a-game stint when they visited Regina this past Tuesday. The “herky-jerky” schedule continues this weekend with second and final visits of the regular season to Cranbrook, B.C. to meet the Kootenay

Ice on Friday and Lethbridge to battle the Hurricanes on Saturday. Both broadcasts are on CKBL-FM (92-9, THE BULL), beginning at 6:30 with pre-game talk and play-by-play at 7 p.m. After that, Saskatoon will be idle another five days before playing the first of just three November home games on Friday, November 9 when the Bridge City Bunch hosts Regina.

Thank you

Hilltops off to Canadian Bowl The Saskatoon Hilltops will be going for their third straight Canadian Bowl Championship title.

The Hilltops defeated the London Beefeaters 50-7 in the Josten's Cup Sunday at Saskatoon's Gordie Howe Bowl.

The win means the Saskatoon squad will be heading to its third straight Canadian Junior Football League's championship final.

This year's match will be held Nov. 10 in Langley, B.C., pitting the Hilltops against that community's home team, the Langley Rams.

The Hilltops won the Canadian Bowl in 2010 and held onto it last year. Previously, the team won three titles in a row between 2001 and 2003.

First liners Matthew Stransky and Shane McColgan need to do more on offence! Both are on pace for only 55 points with Stransky having 81 last season, including 39 goals. His pace is for just 20 goals while McColgan is only in line for 10 goals!

The second line of former Red Deer captain Adam Kambeitz, Lukas Sutter and new Blades’ captain Brenden Walker has just three goals between them. All scored at least 19 goals last season! They have to produce more!

Dalton Thrower is on pace for five goals and 15 points and Duncan Siemens for just 10 points. Thrower had 18 goals and 54 points last season while Siemens has to pick up all areas of his game and be consistently at a high level of play as he has shown flashes of in most of the victories!

Andrey Makarov needs to be better than average in goal. His

3.21 goals against average and .895 save percentage aren’t likely to win a lot of games!

Attention to detail on defence has to improve as almost every Bridge City Bunch skater is a minus in the +/- stat column!

I also told Dan Russell that before anything rash happens, as he suggested might possibly be required, that there would be more moves to change the

Warman Community!

For Your support for City Council.

I look forward to serving you.

Feel free to call me with your concerns.
