Gazette CLARK S CROSSING

Colleague taught us all a lifetime lesson in selflessness December is often a month of celebration and a time to give some thought on the spirit of the season. This reflection is a little different. It is the story of a colleague who, in her own way, set an example. Even though you likely didn’t know Julie, her story is a valuable lesson in humility, perseverence and selflessness.

No matter how high or how often obstacles appear, there is always something positive to look forward to. I consider myself fortunate to have learned a lot from her and will always remember that no matter how gloomy things can become, the sun will always come back and shine on us at some point.

Last week, the community newspaper industry in our province learned of Julie’s passing. She overcame so many obstacles in her short life that you and I would’ve given up and thrown in the towel.

Our friend was not a publisher or an editor. She was not a newspaper owner or an entrepreneur. When she wasn’t busy being a mom to her three precious sons, Julie was a display ad coordinator for the Saskatchewan Weekly

Newspapers Association. Her career with our association began over 15 years ago when she was hired as a receptionist and, step by step, worked her way up the ladder.

As a board member of the association for many years, I was able to work alongside Julie on some projects and, often, relied on her for advice. Her door was always open and usually the conversation revolved around how her three sons were either making her very proud or, conversely, driving her crazy!

But, Julie was much more than a colleague and friend. She was the epitome of selflessness and, no matter how dark things became for her or those around her, she persevered and pushed on like nothing had happened. She always set aside her own personal problems – and there were many to be sure – just to make someone else’s day brighter and happier.

Just over five years ago, she lost her mother to Multiple Sclerosis and was devastated, to say the least.

The months and years that followed were a testament to her convictions and character. Soon after her mom’s passing, her marriage broke down and she found herself raising three teen boys while working full-time.

Even though she was frustrated at times, she would simply take a deep breath and move on as though nothing had happened.

Then, after having renovating her flooded basement a few years ago, the family home was destroyed by fire. The ensuing weeks and months for Julie were filled with insurance paperwork, adjusters and contractors. But, all through it, she again maintained her positive attitude despite a year’s worth of couches and air mattresses in her tiny apartment. Any help that was offered to her was politely declined and Julie just managed to get by.

Honestly, most of us probably would’ve given up and questioned our faith while becoming bitter to the innocent people around us.

But not Jules, as we often called her.

While her new home was under construction, she and her young-

est son were involved in a tragic car accident on the outskirts of Saskatoon. A passenger in the other vehicle died and it was something that shook Julie to the core – even though it was not her fault it happened. For the next few weeks she again dealt with insurance adjusters and, when the claim was complete, went from driving a smaller SUV to a sub-compact car. She did manage to utter a few choice words for her insurance company but, after that, replaced her scowl with a grin that was a mile wide. I can’t remember the exact words she spoke to me one afternoon shortly after her claim was settled but it went something like “hey, at least they didn’t give me a bus pass and tell me to take a hike”.

Typical Julie. Always looking at the brighter side of life.

Once she and her family moved into their new home, it seemed every mountain she had climbed was now fully behind her and she was due for a run of much better luck. That was true for a short time until her basement again flooded.

Not to be deterred, Julie again went to work cleaning up the mess and making her home whole again.

In a span of just under six years, this woman could have been mentally crushed over and over again. Where most of us would’ve snapped like a twig in a hurricane, Julie somehow maintained her poise and happy demeanor. Whether it was in the office or at home, she always seemed to smile and accept what was happening to her and to those around her.

The final battle for Julie began last year when doctors confirmed the worst news of her life. She had colon cancer and the prognosis was not good. Guided with regimented treatments and helped with loving prayers from family and friends, Julie remained positive and fought the good fight one last time.

She has left us with a very important lesson. No matter how bad things get or how hopeless the situation looks, keep moving forward in a happy, positive way. The sun will shine again.

Julie may not have been victorious in her fight for life, but she was definitely a champion in the way she lived and the legacy she left behind.

Santa creates a buzz with children Landfill could

become an asset, council told

By HILARY KLASSEN

hilaryklassen@gmail.com

Kids

were initially disappointed when they were told Santa Claus would be 30-minutes late for his appearance on Sunday at the J. J. Loewen Centre in Dalmeny.

But, all was well when Santa arrived on a horse drawn sleigh together with Mrs. Claus. Descending from the sleigh, the two looked sharp in their red and white suits set off against the white snow – a savvy wardrobe decision.

It was all part of the Dalmeny Christmas Carnival which had the building absolutely buzzing with activity. The project was organized

by George and Darlene Zwack of Dalmeny.

“We’ve headed up this project for the fourth year or maybe this is the fifth and it’s just a blast,” said Darlene. “The kids have fun; there’s everything in there from a magician to face painting and games, and they can get their prizes. When they play the games we give them coupons and then they can shop at the prize table where they can pick what they want.”

The prize table proved to be very popular with prizes running out before the end of the afternoon.

Judging by the length of the lineups, Warren, the balloon guy may have been just as popular as Santa.

There were also sing-a-longs, storytellers, games of chance, free sleigh rides, and public skating next door.

George, who was busy taking care of the door prizes said, “The carnival includes ideas from many years ago.

When we moved to town six years ago, we wanted to develop a carnival for kids which would also accommodate the grandparents and the parents, so that when the kids come and have fun while they’re waiting for Santa they can be kept busy and the parents and grandparents can sit and have a coffee and a treat. This way everybody is involved in something rather than parents feeling bored by the end of the day, which is how a lot of Christmas parties work.”

George noted that many Christmas events focus solely on the kids.

“We’re trying to make it broad in all respects,” he said.

This approach included a having a silent auction which provides their startup money for the next year.

Darlene pointed out that “people have been very, very generous.” Donations came from the community, merchants and volunteers. “The martial arts club is manning the conces-

sion this year and they’ve got an awesome line-up of food in there,” she said.

George & Darlene Zwack were named Dalmeny Citizens of the Year in 2011. Recognized for their volunteerism, the Christmas Carnival is only one part of what they give to the community. Having moved to Dalmeny six years ago, they quickly got involved with the senior club in town and chaired many projects for them. They jumped on board for the Christmas carnival and have done signage for the town.

George got a little part-time job at the grocery store to meet people,

and Darlene worked at the drug store for a time. “We’re a team, and we just work well together. In the short time that we’ve been here, we’ve gotten to know a very large number of the people and vice versa and that kind of thing.”

It appeared a good time was being had by all thanks to the Merchants Association and some creative planning. Santa was attentive to children who sat on his knee while parents took photos and videos. The carnival atmosphere brought the crowds and a unique pizzazz to the event and as Darlene said, “it’s just a fun afternoon.”

Landfills can be a pesky problem. In looking at the costs of operating a landfill over the next four to five years, the RM of Corman Park is asking questions about alternatives. With that in mind, councillors heard a presentation from TITAN Projects, at their regular meeting on November 26.

Jamie Bakos, Engineer and President of TITAN brought with him Dr. Monique Hawkinson to speak about clean energy solutions. Bakos talked about a newly developed proprietary technology called pyrolysis which involves heating biomass at very high temperatures without oxygen to produce bio-char. Bio-char can be used as a soil enhancer, a solid fuel, or converted into an activated carbon product similar to that used in home water filtering systems. Bakos passed around a sample of biochar in a transparent tube.

The stuff doesn’t come cheap and the idea is to turn waste into gain. As Bakos said, “Turning biomass into enhanced carbon products is an extremely energy efficient process that closes the loop on recycling waste and benefiting the environment.”

These innovative solutions to waste management are paired with innovative approaches to the bottom line, with the potential for a return on the investment into the new technology. Bakos noted, “There is the opportunity to turn that expenditure into an investment instead of just an expenditure,” and that the business model could be flexible and essentially, customizable.

TITAN has done work for the city of Saskatoon, the city of Brandon, Case New Holland, SaskTel, SaskPower, Loraas, and BHP Billiton, and is developing a 50-acre site in Craik that can handle large volumes of biomass. Councillors’ interest seemed to gain momentum the longer they listened to Bakos and Hawkinson. Councillor Janzen said, “anytime a liability can become an asset, that’s a plus.” Fox noted, “As

a council, we are fairly risk averse and we have to be concerned about the finances of the RM. But if we can extend life of the landfill and if there is a guaranteed rate of return, I am interested in discussing this further.”

Reeve Judy Harwood reminded councillors that “this is really just for information today,” with Administrator Bob Paisley adding, “we just want to present the concept today.”

2013 Revaluation of Agricultural Land

Lyndon Nelson of the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) made a one-hour presentation regarding the 2013 revaluation of agricultural land to councillors of the RM of Corman Park recently. SAMA conducts a revaluation of properties every four years. The revaluation covers agricultural land, heavy industrial property, pipeline, railway, and mining lands which are valued using a regulated Manual, rather than strictly market value.

January 1, 2011 is the base date for projecting land values from 2013 to 2016. Nelson indicated that the revaluation numbers “will have impact across the province,” and that zoning of agricultural mixed use land could be very important to the RM. Nelson stressed that the revaluation is only applied to land. Where a property has two or three uses, the first three acres which would typically include a residence would still be assessed according to market value.

A comparison of how RM values stacked up against provincial numbers showed that seasonal recreational values have risen greatly compared to the 2009 revaluation and other valuations across the province, and this is true even if nothing was done to the cabin.

Sometimes this indicates an improper previous assessment.

SAMAview is the “self help” portion of SAMA’s website. In January 2013, SAMAview with new values will be available to public and will answer many questions for people.

Memorial Cup to feature top-flight hockey, but also much more

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Organizers of the Mastercard Memorial Cup tournament, slated for May 17-26, 2013 in Saskatoon, are promising the best junior hockey in the country. But it’s also about much more than that, says Scott Ford, Director of Marketing and Events for Credit Union Centre.

“It’s a ten-day festival of hockey and entertainment,” said Scott at a news conference at CUC November 28. “It’s a city-wide festival with something for everyone.”

Ticket packages for the Memorial Cup tournament, which features the host team and the

championship squads from the Ontario Hockey League, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Western Hockey League, went on sale last Thursday.

Ticket prices for the 8-game Mastercard Memorial Cup range from $95 to $595 (plus applicable fees). At the time the ticket packages went on sale, nearly 5,000 ticket packages had already been resrved for Saskatoon Blades season ticket holders.

“Hockey fans are hungry for their favourite game and anxious to see this championship,” said event co-chair Tim Gitzel. “Even with the tremendous support so far, there are still ticket packages available

across the price spectrum.

That’s great news for members of the public.”

There will be one feature hockey game per evening during the 8-day tournament. The other fan-friendly attractions include: • Pre-game food and festivities at FanFest, a short walk from the arena; • Live music and entertainment at Fan Fest after every game. Admission is free with your game ticket; • Appearances by Blades alumni, including every member of the 1989 Blades Memorial Cup team; • Family activities with interactive games and displays for young fans.

Scott Ford, Director of Marketing and Events for Credit Union Centre, says the 2013 Memorial Cup tournament will have something for everyone

CITY OF WARMAN

Streetlights coming in spring 2013 Streetlights are expected to be installed in Warman in the spring of 2013, says a spokesperson for SaskPower.

Tyler Hopson, media relations officer with SaskPower, said it’s not likely that the work will be done over the winter.

The City of Warman applied to have streetlights installed along Centenni-

al Boulevard North near the Legends Centre several months ago, but a shortage of light standards, combined with pressing demands in other areas, has so far prevented SaskPower from completing the installation.

Hopson said construction coordinators with SaskPower estimate the earliest the lights can be installed

DAHLIA HOLIDAY PACKAGES

is sometime in the spring of 2013.

“While we certainly regret the delays, SaskPower is working hard to ensure that customer requests are handled in a timely manner during this period of strong economic growth around the province,” explained Hopson in an e-mail to the Gazette on Monday, December 3.

FLORAL COMMUNITY’S COVETED CUP

photo submitted by Perry Ulrich

Saturday Night November 24 the annual Crokinole Tournament was held at the Floral Community Centre. The youngest competitor, 10-year-old Stefan Tonita (pictured above), made the presentation to the winners (wearing the white gloves just like the Stanley Cup to protect the coveted trophy!). Helen Giles, 91, was the oldest competitor. Tournament winners pictured are Malcolm Tweidt and Wilf Sivertson going seven wins and no losses. There were numerous other games like UNO, trouble, and cards going at the same time for the not so competitive.

Apprenticeship awards presented to outstanding area journeypersons Shara Ashdown of Hague, Lynden Bodnarchuk of Martensville, and Spencer Cruikshank of Aberdeen were among the newly certified journeypersons who were honoured for their achievements at the 12th annual Awards Ceremony and Banquet November 9, hosted by the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC).

Lindsay Adams, Jordan Bradley, Adam Hamilton, Kendal Hamilton, David Scott, Christopher Yauck and Ashton Zunti of Saskatoon were also honoured at the event.

The awards recognize the 35 top achievers of nearly 1,700 journeypersons who were certified in 47 designated trades between June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2012.

“The skilled trades are key to growing Saskatche-

wan’s economy,” Minister responsible for the SATCC Bill Boyd said. “I congratulate all of the newly certified journeypersons in Saskatchewan, and am pleased to recognize those who achieved a high level of success.”

Brennan Pewapisconias of Grandora (Electrician) won the Commission Board of Director Scholarship.

Shara Ashdown of Hague won a Hospitality Trades Award for Guest Services Representative.

Spencer Cruikshank of Aberdeen won the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, Local 179 award for sprinkler systems installer.

Lynden Bodnarchuk of Martensville received the 2012 Outstanding New Journeyperson Award in the Sheet Metal Worker trade, while Ken Gorkoff of Vanscoy received

the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, Local 179 award.

The awards also honour those providing outstanding contributions to the apprenticeship program. The George Pellerin Memorial Scholarship was presented to the highest achieving journeyperson of all trades, and the Commission Board of Directors Scholarship will be awarded to the highest achieving Aboriginal journeyperson. The inaugural Bruce Pearce Scholarship was awarded to a recipient who has completed a program at the Regina Trades and Skills Centre and entered into apprenticeship.

In addition, three apprentices who won a gold medal at the Skills Canada Saskatchewan competition, held in Regina in March, were honoured.

Crysta Lalonde’s framed Office Administration certificate hangs prominently on the bulletin board in her office at Aberdeen Composite School.

She’s proud of her accomplishment.

Her husband’s proud, and her three kids are too.

Though she half-jokingly wonders how long the latter will last.

“I love my job,” said Lalonde, who now works as a fulltime administrative assistant at the school. “I get to see my own kids at work every day and they enjoy seeing me in the office (though) they might not think it’s cool when they’re older.”

Lalonde completed the part-time Office Administration program at Great Plains College in February, setting the table in doing so for her move from a quarter-time position to the one she holds now.

The part-time offering allowed her to work Thursdays and Fridays as she had been doing previously, and tackle her school work Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays while her children were at school or preschool.

“If someone would have told me that I would be going back to school at the age of 31 I would have said forget it,” said Lalonde. “But life’s too short and if there is something you want to do, go for it.

“I told my instructors that if things didn’t work out for me becoming an administrative assistant that a person can never go wrong with education.”

Fortunately for Lalonde, things did work out and she is happily employed not just at the school she attended but alongside her own mother as well.

“The staff at Great Plains College were always there and willing to help out,” said Lalonde. “They wanted to make the program the best that it could be and if something wasn’t working out they would try and fix it.

“I met some very friendly people at the college and my experience there was truly a positive one.”

The expansion project at Saskatchewan International Raceway in Saskatoon got a helping hand from students of the Heavy Equipment Operator program at Great Plains College’s Warman Campus

Don’t let the guy behind the wheel fool you - drag racing is a team sport.

Crew chiefs, mechanics, sponsors and countless other behind-the-scenes supporters are as much a part of the action as anyone when it comes to race day.

So it was perhaps only natural when Saskatchewan International Raceway began looking at a major expansion project that it opted to do so as just that - a team.

“Saskatchewan International Raceway was built in 1966 and at that time it was built for that specific group of people,” said SIR president Tom Firth. “Of course it’s grown significantly in the last several years to the point where we required an expansion in our useable land that we have out there.

“The problem is that we’re a not-for-profit organization and of course, like anything else these days, available resources to do this type of improvement are hard to come by. So we started looking for alternative solutions and any kind of program we could partner with to put this together.”

One of Firth’s first phone calls was to Darlene Anton, a program coordinator at Great Plains College who was working to launch a Heavy Equipment Operator program in Warman.

The college needed a suitable work project for the course’s students to certify on each piece of machinery.

The raceway needed some specially-trained volunteers. The partnership practically made itself.

“Darlene is a rare find in the education system, really someone that is passionate and has the tenacity of a bulldog,” said Firth. “I could never find enough words to tell everyone just how much I have appreciated working with Darlene.

“The students were awesome as well. To have a group of six students that were all focused on what this could provide for their future is something you don’t always see. They also enjoyed the fact that this project had a purpose and a legacy rather than just moving dirt for the sake of moving dirt.”

Firth then spoke with his contacts at Kramer Caterpillar, which agreed to supply to equipment for the Heavy Equipment Operator program (and, by extension, the raceway’s expansion) at a reduced cost.

Maybe not an Earth-shattering agreement, but plenty of earth was moved as a result.

Firth says the raceway’s goal is to double the size of its pit area not just to accommodate its current users, but future growth as well in the form of a regular stop on the National Hot Rod Association’s annual schedule.

Saskatchewan International Raceway currently squeezes about 200 cars and crews into its pit area and plans to comfortably host 300 when all is said and done.

“Without the partners we would not have been able to take on a project of this scope,” said Firth. “The combination of the college, with their operators and trainers, and the generousity of Kramer Cat was the only way we were able to have such a successful project in terms of the work accomplished and the funding that was provided.”

Saskatchewan debt bad, but not 1980s bad

C O M M E N T A R Y

Unsettling tales from Aboriginal Reserves

By Colin Craig, Canadian Taxpayers Association

Imagine receiving a death threat because you called your mayor’s office and asked how much he or she earned last year.

No really, take a minute right now and consider how you would react.

Would you move out of town? Would you worry about your kids and loved ones? Would you keep speaking out or cave in to the pressure?

Now imagine for a moment that you kept asking such reasonable questions and the threats kept coming. Not to mention repercussions like your mayor somehow cutting off your income, stopping your home from getting repaired and halting college funding for your kids.

Many readers will consider the scenario above absurd or reflect on a tale they might have read about a third-world dictatorship.

But in reality, it’s the type of unimaginable situation some people living on aboriginal reserves in Canada have to face. No, it’s not a local mayor treating them like that; it’s their own band chief and council.

Yes, this type of thing is happening a couple hours outside of Winnipeg, in a community not far from Vancouver and down the road from Quebec City. You get the picture, it’s occurring in our own backyards in many parts of Canada.

The threats and punishment mentioned above are just a few examples of stories shared recently at a meeting of grassroots band members in Ottawa.

The meeting was organized by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, a non-profit taxpayers watchdog group. As we continued to speak out in favour of Bill C-27, a bill that will help combat these problems, we wanted to ensure the media had a chance to hear these types of stories directly from grassroots band members on the legislation.

For those that don’t have bills in Ottawa memorized, this is the legislation that would put chiefs and councillors’ salary information, as well as annual audit documents on the internet for every reserve in the country.

The bill was tabled by the federal government in response to a push by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and grassroots band members for greater transparency on reserves. It will bring aboriginal politicians inline with all other politicians in the country; who already have to disclose their pay to the public.

As you can imagine, many chiefs have spoken out against the bill.

Unfortunately, grassroots band members had other stories of “punishment” for speaking out.

One lady from Manitoba described how a family member told her “you know, if you hadn’t have spoken out I wouldn’t have had problems getting assistance for my kid’s education.”

A lady from a reserve in British Columbia described how a band member, who had been investigating financial activities in her reserve community, mysteriously had her home burned down when she was away on a trip.

So how does this happen in a country such as Canada?

Well, the chief is king on many reserves. While many chiefs are very good at running their communities in a fair and open manner, many others have simply let the power go to their head. As the chief and council hold the purse strings, few band members ever want to be on the chief’s bad side.

Bill C-27 will especially help those living on reserves where threats are a way of life. After all, once more band financial information is posted on the federal government’s web site, band members will be able to access it anonymously. Such disclosure will also help the good chiefs out there who are working hard and aren’t earning vast sums for services.

Bill C-27 will not solve all the problems on reserves, but one thing is for certain. The status quo is anything but acceptable. We wouldn’t let our mayor or town council treat us that way. We shouldn’t allow any other politicians in Canada to treat any other Canadian that way either.

thing that no Devine-era finance minister was able to accomplish.

It might only be a modest $12-million surplus, but that’s actually a pretty impressive feat, given the aforementioned $60-million drop in resource revenues.

Credit should go to the entire Saskatchewan Party cabinet for actually finding decreases in 12 of 31 line departments, while coming in on target in 13 others.

Second, it is not particularly comforting to see overall provincial debt rapidly climbing upward into the stratosphere of $9.55 billion – an additional billion dollars in one year. Those who witnessed public debt increase from $3 billion when the Devine government entered office in 1982 to $13 billion nearly 10 years later when the Progressive Conservatives left office in 1991 will be especially unnerved by that figure.

And it is annoying is to see SaskPower asking for an additional $120 million in borrowing in this budget update. A year earlier, SaskPower provided government with a special $120 million to allow it to balance the books before the elec-

NEED TO

tion.

But let us understand that this debt is all on the Crown side.

Obviously, no debt is good, but large utilities in need of upgrades always need to borrow money for infrastructure improvements. And some of that money they now borrow will be recovered in the utility rates we pay.

This is quite different than the Devine’s debt of the 1980s that was also caused by accumulated deficits – money owing to run government operations, that we are still paying back to the New York banks.

Thirty years after Devine’s first deficit budget, that accumulated PC government debt is still $3.8 billion.

That’s $3 billion less than it was, but it is still costing Saskatchewan taxpayers $395 million in annual interest charges.

Finally, while falling resource revenue is never good in a resourcebased province like ours, it’s important to note that $95-a-barrel oil offers little reason to complain.

Clearly, the provincial government has to do a better job of estimating potash revenue. Its budget six months ago overestimated potash revenue by $240 million.

But given that it wasn’t so long ago that we didn’t make $240 million in potash revenue in an entire year, some perspective is needed.

And if nothing else, the mess left behind in the 1980s has given us a lot of perspective.

Premier Wall is selling off a profitable Crown corporation, the Information Services Corporation (ISC). This is a Crown which has had average profits of some $18 million over the last years. These profits have helped governments balance their budgets and hopefully have benefited all Saskatchewan people.

For some reason, Premier Wall wants $120 million immediately, as that is what the Crown’s 60 per cent share selling price is estimated to be.

Falling resource revenue and rising debt in the mid-year 2012-13 budget update will be unnerving for some of you that have been around for awhile.

This was the scenario during the former Progressive Conservative Premier Grant Devine’s government in the 1980s.

And the outcome was particularly devastating for rural Saskatchewan.

Low resource revenue combined with the disastrous financing of that administration resulted a billion dollars in additional debt during each of those years in the 1980s.

When the NDP government came into office in 1991, they were forced to make some harsh choices.

One can argue until the cows come home as to whether closing 52 rural hospitals or tearing up the GRIP contracts with farmers or virtually abandoning maintenance or rural highways were the right choices. Harder to debate, however, is the reality that they were caused by a government saddling us with too much debt as resource revenue plummeted.

So one might be somewhat forgiven for being a little nervous over the news that Finance Minister Ken Krawetz’s budget this year will add a billion dollars and that the province will not earn about $600 million less in oil, gas, potash and Crown land lease sales than the March budget initially predicted.

It sounds all too similar to what got us into so much trouble in the 1980s.

But while there may be similarities to what went on 30 years ago that led to so much trouble for rural Saskatchewan and the rest of the province, there are also some very big, important differences.

First and foremost, Krawetz’s budget is again balanced – some-

is not sold the province could benefit to the tune of some $180 million over the next ten years and we would still own the total Crown - a continued investment for Saskatchewan people.

This Crown serves the people of Saskatchewan by looking after our land titles, personal and corporate proeprty registration, and vital statistics for health, among other funcitons of vital information.

This information service is being projected for sale to unknown private partners to manipulate. I find it diffcult to fathom why and who would sell a profiitable Crown that serves the people of Saskatchewan well to private entrepreneurs.

This sell-off would give the private entrepreneur influence over Saskthewan people’s personal document and information. It is beyond my ken.

Carving out a new RM is the desire of some 2,000 plus ratepayers north and west of the South Sasktachewan River.

This process respresents a ‘divorce’ from the balance of the RM. These people are not asking the southern area for permission to carve out a new RM. Only the ratepayers north and west of the river were asked to sign the petition. Support form the ratepayers in this area is overwhelming.

The guidelines were followed and now we are asking the provincial municipal department to honour the petition and immediately start the process of following through with ratepayers’ wishes.

MARTENSVILLE & WARMAN SCHOOLS

HOLIDAY BAKING RAISES FUNDS

Enrolments up by 300 students over last year

By BRENDA ERICKSON

Prairie Spirit School Division

In recognition of significant student enrolment growth, Prairie Spirit School Division will receive over $650,000 in additional mid-year funding from the Ministry of Education for the 2012/13 school year.

The Ministry made the funding announcement on Monday, November 26, pointing out that Saskatoon, Martensville and Warman represent more than 50 per cent of the total provincial enrolment growth of almost 2,300 students.

In total, the Ministry allocated $6.6 million in mid-year funding to support eight growing school divisions in the province.

Currently, school division funding is based on the enrolment from the previous school year. The Minister of Education acknowledged that this practice does not work for school divisions experiencing large enrolment increases from one year to the next.

“This mid-year funding is another example of the Ministry’s commitment to respond to realtime funding pressures,” said John Kuzbik, Prairie Spirit’s Director of Education.

The communities of Warman and Martensville have had an increase of almost 300 students this year. “This is a substantial increase for these schools that are already operating at maximum capacity,” said Larry Pavloff, Board of Education Chair. This represents a 9% increase in student enrolment in these communities, a much higher rate than in other areas in the province. “Our approach in allocating these additional funds will be to review existing practices and to support schools in the areas of greatest need,” Pavloff said.

“We understand that this mid-year funding is not intended for capital expenses,” Pavloff said. “However, capital construction is our greatest immediate need.” Pavloff explained that the growing schools in Martensville and Warman cannot accommodate more reloctable classrooms. “We need new schools for these communities,” he said. The schools in Warman and Martensville have had 14 relocatable classrooms added since 2011.

The Prairie Spirit Board of Education has already made formal application to the Min-

istry of Education for a third elementary school in Martensville and for a second elementary school in Warman.

As part of its funding announcement, the Ministry also made a commitment to ensure that relocatable classrooms are constructed and ready for students at the start of the school year. With the Ministry’s current approval process, relocatable classrooms are not ready for schools until well into the school year, leaving schools without adequate space for up to six months.

PSSD has over 9,800 students this year, the seventh consecutive year of increasing enrolment for the division.

Volunteers with the Warman Mennonite Special Care Home held their annual Christmas bake sale November 30. Among the shoppers were 99-year old Margaret Kroeker (foreground) and fellow care home resident Helen Zacharias.

Warman woman set for cross-province snowmobile trek A Warman woman is among a group of riders taking part in the Prairie Women on Snowmobiles (PWOS) mission 2013 Ride for Breast Cancer Research.

Jeannette Ens of Warman is an avid snowmobile enthusiast who is excited to be part of the annual trek across Saskatchewan slated to begin February 1, 2013 and finish on February 8.

Funds raised during the trek go toward the Canadian Cancer Society to support research into breast cancer. Expenses of the trek are covered by the participants, local businesses and corporate sponsors.

Ens began her fundraising effort with a steak dinner event at the Legends Golf Club restaurant in Warman on November 17.

“I am riding in the PWOS 2013 mission for the amazing, strong courageous women and their families I know personally who have battled through breast cancer as well as other cancers,” explained Ens in her fundraising letter. “They are true warriors and my inspiration for this journey.”

Ens said she is committed to getting the word out that breast cancer can be beaten.

She is excited about taking part in the annual snowmo-

bile ride across Saskatchewan.

The 1800-kilometer trek will be a test of endurance for the 9 female riders, each of whom must raise $3,000 toward cancer research before December 31.

As part of her fundraising efforts, Ens organized a steak night in Warman in mid-November, and is currently solic-

iting donations.

Donations can be made by contacting Jeannette Ens at 306-260-4256 or 306-931-4472.

The PWOS trek conributes 100 per cent of the funds it raises to the Canadian Cancer Society. Over the years, it has provided more than $1.8 million in support of breast cancer research.

Faith-based charity looks to build facility The Bridge on 20th in Saskatoon is a non-profit, nondenominational ministry that seeks to move people from a life of poverty and hopelessness to a place of meaning and purpose, becoming productive members of our community. The Bridge has plans to expand the programs and services it currently runs to include a transitional housing program. The ministry has received an offer of a $250,000 matching donation that would complete Phase One of the vision by purchasing a new property for the new facilities.

To maximize this opportunity, The Bridge is looking to raise $250,000 from Saskatoon and area community, thereby raising $500,000 because every dollar donated, is immediately doubled.

The Bridge currently serves breakfast and lunch to its visitors. It offers a shower facility and clothing give-away room, monthly hygiene packs, haircuts, and adult spiritual growth seminars. There are weekly programs for children, youth and adults. Skills training opportunities and individualized mentoring are offered.

The vision is to offer a 24/7 Transitional Housing Program to those who desire permanent change. Through safe housing, education, job experience and counselling, the individual will be able to reach the personal growth goals they have set in place with their mentor/accountability partner.

Phase One ($1.2 million) is to purchase the property on Avenue P and establish a new base of operations. Phase Two ($1.3 million) will be to build the Transitional Program Housing Facility with 30 beds.

Sharon Martens named Warman Citizen of Year The annual civic awards were presented at the Warman Christmas Party on Saturday, December 1

by Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence and Deputy Mayor Gary Philipchuk.

The following presentations were read at the ceremony, held at the Brian King Centre.

Citizen of the Year Sharon Martens This years Citizen of the Year, Sharon Martens, was born and raised in Warman. She and her husband have raised two children here.

Her two adorable grandchildren are blessings and she spends countless hours with them. She and her family have been involved in this community for decades. Many in key leadership roles. Family is the centre of her life with faith, church, friendships, volunteerism, and community fitting around that focal point.

She loves to cook, entertain, camp out and travel, where she shamelessly promotes Warman no matter where she is. She loves history especially the history of her home community. She truly believes you need to know where you came from in order to properly plan for the future.

She has respectfully served our community in various aspects from church to Councillor to volunteer to caring citizen. Her list of service in Warman is longer than my arm.

She truly is a treasure that the City of Warman is fortunate to have!

Volunteer Group of the Year Scared Scriptless Players The Scared Scriptless Players – formerly the Warman Drama Club is an important part of keeping the arts alive in smaller communities. I admire the efforts of those who work hard at it. They work hard to keep their organization running and delivering a performance each year.

In a Community so strong in sports and athletic achievement, I applaud those who continue to work hard on their own time to keep art, music and drama in Warman for all of us.

Their entertaining productions

have kept us laughing in our seats and looking forward to the next year’s performance.

Volunteer of the Year Katherine Skorupan This years recipient, Katherine Skorupan, has consistently demonstrated her strong dedication to both the Warman Osler Skating Club as well as the entire community of Warman. She is an extremely involved parent, church member, club member and community member.

She volunteers her time endlessly without any expectation of recognition.

She was recognized by Skate Saskatchewan (the provincial representative of Skate Canada) in 2011 for her outstanding work as a volunteer within the sport of Figure Skating.

She received the Provincial Volunteer award at a special awards banquet in Regina.

Due to all of her hard work and dedication, we believe that the Warman Osler Skating Club is having one of its most successful seasons in a long time. The club has implemented new programs. The Adult Skate program provides opportunities for teenage and adult skaters to participate in skating as a life long sport.

The Can Power Skate program has been been another key addition to programming. Her business sense, organization skills and gentle personality has strengthened the club.

She is one of Warman’s role models and is highly respected in the community.

She never does anything half way and pursues excellence in all she does. We really believe she should be recognized for all her church and community involvement.

We believe she embodies the true spirit of Volunteerism.

Youth of the Year Dustin Gasmo After a potentially fatal infection in his heart in 2010, and open heart surgery to repair the damage, Dustin Gasmo made it his goal to create awareness and “pay it forward”.

“I don’t know how she did it.

Lukas MacDonald makes a save off the Quakers Mike Herpeger while teammate Blayke Lefaivre helps out in front of the net

Trade pays off as Chiefs edge Quakers Veteran goaltender adds back end depth

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A

trade just before the December 1 deadline paid off for the Delisle Chiefs last Wednesday, November 28, as goaltender Lukas MacDonald backstopped his new team to a 4-3 win over his former mates.

The 20-year old barely had time to get used to his new locker room in the Delisle Arena before getting the call to start against the Saskatoon Quakers.

Until last week, MacDonald was the Quakers’ Number 1 goaltender. He was a lot more used to playing behind the Quakers’ skaters than in front of them, but his experience paid off as he made key saves when it counted.

“It was a little weird, especially at the beginning,” admitted MacDonald after the game. “I had a couple of bobbled pucks in the early

going, but after the first couple of minutes I settled in and was real comfortable.

I didn’t really think about the fact that I was playing my old team. It was just another game.”

The win drew the Chiefs within a single point of the Quakers in the Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) North Division standings.

The second-place Quakers had 21 points, 8 back of the league-leading Saskatoon Royals, while the Chiefs, Tri-Town Thunder and Saskatoon Westleys all had 20 points.

That league parity means the team has to battle hard every shift, according to Chiefs head coach Dave Norris.

“It was a good win. We needed it,” said Norris after the game in Delisle on Wednesday. “This was our tenth game where the difference between winning and losing was a single goal.

We’ve had 8 overtime games so far this year. The league is very tight, with a lot of

equality between the teams.”

The Quakers came out flying and drew first blood when Evan Ritchie scored his first of two goals in the game midway through the first period.

That seemed to wake the home team up, and the Chiefs’ Dylan Kochan responded by tying the score before the first intermission.

Ashton Donnelly gave Delisle its first lead of the game on a power play at the 9 minute mark of the second period. The Quakers evened the score on Ritchie’s second goal of the game with 4 minutes left in the period, but Chiefs’ Assistant Captain Justin Kerr restored Delisle’s lead.

Stacy Campbell put the Chiefs up by a pair early in the third before Terence Shewchuk replied for the Quakers, scooping up a rare rebound that got away from MacDonald.

But after that the Chiefs’ defense, led by their veteran Captain, Andre Lalonde, cleared away everything

that came close to the net.

The Quakers were confined to the outside and couldn’t manufacture any good scoring opportunities.

The Chiefs dug deep to protect the slim lead, noted Norris, adding the Quakers are tough opponents.

“They had a short bench, but they played us extremely tight,” he said. “They really protected the front of their net and made it hard for us to get any rebounds.

They also crashed our net and played a very aggressive forecheck game.”

It took a while for the Chiefs to get on track, but they did end up outshooting their opponents 27-20 over three periods.

Norris said he made the trade for MacDonald because he wanted greater depth at the goaltending position, especially in the post-season.

“We gave up a very good 18-year old goaltending prospect in the deal,” explained Norris. “But we needed two Number 1 goaltenders, and I think we’ve got that now.”

TEAM MAKES PAIR OF TRADES The Saskatoon Blades have announced that they have traded defenceman Brett Lernout to the Swift Current Broncos. In exchange for the 1995-born blueliner, the Blades have acquired a 4th round pick in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft.

Lernout, listed at 6’4 and 200 pounds, was originally listed by Saskatoon in 2011. He has appeared in 20 career games as a member of the Saskatoon Blades, including 18 so far this season. In those 18 games this year, Lernout registered an even +/- rating and 15 penalty minutes.

In a separate deal, the Blades acquired Shayne

Gwinner from the Prince Albert Raiders. In exchange for the 1994-born defenceman, Saskatoon has traded a 5th round pick in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft to Prince Albert.

Gwinner stands 6’1, weighs in at 182 pounds and is from Drumheller, Alberta. This season he’s appeared in 9 games with the Raiders, scoring one goal and adding 4 penalty minutes.

Previously, Gwinner spent parts of two seasons with the Moose Jaw Warriors. Last season in 51 games with Moose Jaw, he registered 2 goals and 11 points with +12 rating and 51 penalty minutes.

Fabulous Fridays; not so special Saturdays Imagine that, the Saskatoon Blades’ inconsistent ways can be pinned down to a “day of the week” trend…but there really is no good explanation for it!

Fridays continued to be fabulous for the Bridge City Bunch when they skated into the Scotiabank Saddledome and sashayed out this past Friday with an impressive 4-0 victory over the Calgary Hitmen. However, Saturdays are sh…er, not so special as the Blades followed up the Calgary triumph with a weak, 3-0 setback in Red Deer.

Saskatoon won all five games played on Friday in November. The followed those wins up with four Saturday losses…a fitting statistic of .500 hockey on weekends since the Blades have a 13-13-1 record overall!

“For me, it’s just straight inconsistency,” said associate coach Dave Struch. “Until we get that consistency, it’s going to be hard to put a run (of wins) together. We need a run right now to get us back into the top of the (standings).”

As of Monday, the Bridge City Bunch were on the outside, looking in at the Eastern Conference playoffs…their 27 points good for ninth place, one point back of Medicine Hat for the eighth and final postseason berth. However, as has been the case for several weeks, the Blades are a playoff team… based on won-lost percentage. At .500, Saskatoon is tied

for fifth in the Eastern Conference because they have at least three games in hand on the seven teams either immediately in front or behind them in the points’ table.

“It’s wanting to be a part of that big winning (streak), too,” explained Struch when it came to what needs to happen for the Blades to get hot. “It’d be nice to experience a 5-6 game effort where we’re playing (well) every night. We haven’t done that yet this year.”

The longest winning streak so far this season is three games for a Saskatoon team that had five runs of at least three consecutive victories last season…including one of eight games and another of five. One of those would be very much welcome for a franchise that continues to be, very much, under the microscope! ***** UPCOMING GAMES – If you thought the Blades were ready for a long stretch of home games after playing 18 of their first 27 contests on the road…guess again! Saskatoon is home to

Regina Saturday night at 7:05 at Credit Union Centre before playing three consecutive road games in the next week…a Sunday, 2 o’clock matinee in Regina, plus visits to Brandon Tuesday and Moose Jaw Wednesday.

The last two outings are 7 p.m. first faceoffs. The radio broadcasts on CKBL-FM (92-9, THE BULL) start a half-hour before first puck drop. ***** BLADES PLAYER-OF-THEWEEK – The production finally started to come from an expected source as 20-year-old Brenden Walker had three goals and two assists for five points in the two Bridge City Bunch victories before everyone was shutout Saturday in Red Deer. Prior to the loss to the Rebels, the captain had a three-game goal streak (four scored in the three games), points in six of seven games (six goals and four assists for 10 points) and in eight of 10 games (six goals, 12 points). Overall, the former Brandon right winger has accumulated seven goals and 18 points in 27 games.

Wildcats edged by visiting Outlaws

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Wildcats started out on the right foot last Saturday, scoring early and often against the visiting Prairie Outlaws.

But the “Third Period Blues” came back to haunt the ‘Cats once again, as the visitors rallied to down the host team 5-3.

“It was a tough loss,” comented Wildcats coach Stuart Regush after the game. “The guys came out strong in the first period, but for some reason we just couldn’t keep the momentum going through 60 minutes.”

One of the bright spots in the game was the fact that two of the guys the Wildcats

count on to score goals came through. Cory Perkin notched a pair and Brett Hesterman added a single in the first period as the Wildcats took an early 3-0 lead.

The Wildcats outshot the Outlaws in the opening frame almost 2 to 1, and goaltender Brock Hanson got lots of help from his defense in the early going.

But the Outlaws’ Chris Hahn connected with a late goal just before the first intermission, and that seemed to wake the visitors up. Torey Stott added a goal in the second period to narrow the Wildcats’ lead to a single goal.

Less than a minute into the final period, the Outlaws’ Tyler Bouey tied things up, and Matthew Loopkey and Russ

Schneider added two more to complete the scoring.

Regush said the Wildcats have to figure out a way to stay in the game in the third period, which has been their Achilles Heel so far this season.

They also need to pick up another goaltender. Brennan Kirkness, who has split the netminding duties so far this season with Hanson, is out for about a month with a sprained ankle.

“Right now we don’t have a backup,” confirmed Regush.

“We’re down to one goaltender right now. Hopefully we can find someone to fill in soon.”

The Wildcats next home game is Friday, December 7 at the Legends Centre when they take on the Tisdale Ramblers.

Game time is 8:00 p.m.

he Delisle Rebels’ season ended sooner than they wanted, but they still had a very successful run, according to the team’s head coach, Ken Byers.

The defending provincial 9-man high school football champions had a dream season, winning 8 straight games and losing only 1.

Unfortunately, that loss was costly. They ended up being eliminated by the Melfort Comets in a provincial semi-final playoff game. A year earlier, the Rebels had beaten the Comets on their home field to claim the provincial crown.

“They were hungry for the win, and they out-muscled us,” conceded Byers in an interview November 28. “It was really very similar to our situation the year before, when we lost in the provincial final to Humboldt. We came back the next year and were hungry to finish the job.”

Repeating as provincial champions is a tough assignment for a high school, when

E

your biggest and strongest players graduate every year.

It takes tremendous community support as well as a strong program with good coaching to develop young talent. But it also takes leadership by the players themselves.

The team’s award ceremony in Delisle November 28 honoured several athletes who worked hard to help their team, both on and off the field.

Byers said the win-loss column is the most obvious measure of a football program, but there are many other victories that count as much, or more, in the long run.

“This year, we had players that experienced a lot of growth on a personal level,” he said. “We had some kids who maybe had some discipline issues or who made some poor choices at the start of the year last year, and they really grew and matured throughout the season.”

A new high school basketball league that brings together schools in Warman, Martensville, Rosthern, Osler, Clavet, Dalmeny and two schools in Saskatoon has added structure to the teams’ schedules, and given the athletes a trophy to shoot for at the end of the season.

The new Central Saskatchewan High School Basketball League (CSHSBL) includes both senior boys and senior girls teams, and is aimed at formalizing the games between the schools.

In the past, Warman High School, Martensville High School, Dalmeny High School, Valley Christian Academy, Rosthern Junior College, Saskatoon Christian School and Ecole Canadienne-Frnacaise in Saskatoon have competed against each other with exhibition games through the regular season on an ad-hoc basis.

During playoffs, they play in 2A, 3A and 4A competititons at the provincial level.

The lack of a league has created headaches for coaches as they try to schedule games on a week-by-week basis.

Formalizing the league has the added beenfit of creating an annual league championship trophy.

We can help you with that.

Roughriders offer encouragement, advice to young players

HEPBURN

ou don’t have to be the biggest or the strongest player on the field. You just need to be the most determined.

That was the message Graig Newman, a linebacker with the Saskatchewan Roughriders delivered to a packed house of young football players at the Brian King Centre in Warman on Thursday, November 29.

Newman and fellow Roughrider Scott McHenry were guest speakers at the Warman Wolverines awards banquet. The two players were raised in Saskatoon and played high school and university football in Saskatchewan before being signed by the Riders.

Officially listed on the Riders’ roster as 6 foot 1, Newman isn’t one of the biggest players on the roster. But Newman says he’s never let that bother him.

“I started in the Kinsmen Football League in about Grade 7,” said Newman. “I played one year, and I was probably one of the smaller guys on my team. I was barely 5 feet tall and about 90 pounds soaking wet. I took the next year off to just play hockey, but I got back into football in Grade 9 and played four years with the Evan Hardy Souls. We won the city championshijp in my Grade 12 year.”

Newman went on to play with the Saskatoon Hilltops, and was on three of the Hilltops’ Canadian Bowl national championship teams. Last year, he got the opportunity to try out with the Riders, and made it onto the team’s practice roster. After playing in some pre-season games, he came back to play for the Hilltops and finish up his university degree in chemical engineering. This past season, he played in several games for the Riders, and he characterized those on-field experiences as the most exciting moments of his life.

“I didn’t really know if I could play in the CFL, but I kept plugging away and working hard and being the best I could be, and in the end my dream came true,” said Newman.

Scott McHenry, a fullback with the Riders, had a similar experience. Born and raised in Saskatoon, McHenry had 19 catch-

Warman could be the next location for a Bantam-age minor football team in the Kinsmen Football League (KFL).

Randy Heide, President of the Warman Football Assoociation, made the announcement at the Warman Wolverines awards banquet at the Brian King Centre on Thursday, November 29.

Heide said the new team will become a reality for the 2013 season if they can register 50 bantam-age youth for the tackle foot-

es for 171 yards last season, but he said the accomplishment he is most proud of are the 6 special teams tackles he made last season.

“To be from Saskatchewan and to get to play for the province’s team is a real honour,” said McHenry. “The thing that makes the difference here is that the fans really care about the team and the players.”

McHenry said he also played his first football in the Kinsmen Football League in Saskatoon.

“My first year, I tried out for the Raiders, and I got cut,” he said. “So that kind of soured me on the game because I didn’t make the team. I was probably 10 or 11 years old. But in Grade 9 I had the opportunity to play football again in high school at Holy Cross for the Crusaders.”

McHenry later played his junior football in Regina with the Prairie Thunder before eventually signing with the Riders last year.

“I’ve been fortunate to play high school, junior and professional football, all in uni-

ball team, which will compete against the Martensville Mad Dogs and other teams in the KFL. “It’s great news for families in Warman, Martensville, Osler and other communities in the area,” said Heide. “There is a tremendous amount of interest in football here, and if we can get another team established, that gives more kids the opportunity to play.”

Heide said the community needs to register 50 youngsters by June 24, 2013 in order to ensure the team will become a reality.

forms that were green and white,” he said with a grin.

Both players said the Riders offered them the chance to crack the roster.

“It’s all about determination, and making the most of the opportunities that come your way,” said McHenry. “You may not be the starter at the beginning of the season, but if somebody gets hurt and you’re called on to step in and take over, then you have to be prepared to show you can handle it.”

Newman offered encouragement to younger and smaller players.

“From Grade 7 right up until about Grade 11, I was always one of the smallest guys on the team,” said Newman. “But eventually you’ll get bigger and stronger if you keep plugging away. Don’t let your smaller size hamper you. Just get it in your head that you’re going to be the best on the field. Just look at Weston Dressler. He’s not the biggest guy, but he’s such a playmaker that nobody notices his size.”

Wolverines Pee Wee team, said there were 27 boys on the team this year, with all but three from Warman. “We had two players from Rosthern and one from Dalmeny,” noted Denis. “We had a good season. Our record was 2 wins, 5 losses and 1 tie, but for this age group, it’s more about teaching basic skills.”

The players with the Pee Wee Wolverines team received recognition awards at the Warman Football Assoociation banquet.

The event was held at the same time as the awards banquet for the Warman Wolverines high School footbal team.

he Dalmeny Fury are on a serious roll.

The team is on a 5-game winning streak. They haven’t lost

a game since November 16, and are suddenly one of the hottest commodities in the Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL).

The Fury sharpened their blades last Friday, winning their

second straight against the host Hague Royals with a 6-2 victory in Hague.

Justin D’Entrement led the way for the fury with a hat trick, while Kolten Fyfe picked up a pair of

goals and Brody Foster contributed a single.

Preston Cicchine and Spencer Marshall replied for the Royals It was a repeat of a week earlier, when the Fury downed the Royals 8-5. The latest pair of wins brings the Fury’s record to 6 wins and 1 loss.

The Dalmeny coach is happy with the performance of his team.

“Overall a lot of the guys played well,” said first-year Fury head coach Clayton Chappell after the

Bethany College women’s volleyball team crowned provincial champions Submitted by ALVIN THIELMANN

Athletics Director Bethany College, Hepburn

This past weekend saw the Prairie Athletic Conference (PAC) close out its volleyball season with the Provincial Championship Tournament and Banquet.

The league banquet and awards night was a glitzy affair hosted by SIAST Woodland in Prince Albert.

The Bethany Women’s team was well represented in the awards. As a team they were undefeated in matches during the season, while becoming the Women’s League Champions for the first time since joining the league in 1990. Individually, three Eagles were selected to the League All Star Team. Congratulations go to Alyssa Willems, Kristen Andres, and Jaymie Baumann. On top of this Baumann was also selected, in a poll of the league’s coaches, as the league’s Most Valuable Player.

The Eagles continued their dominance throughout the tournament, sweeping the round robin play to earn the right to play Kelsey for the title. They did not come away disappointed, winnin g in 4 closely contested sets.

This also makes Bethany history as a first Women’s Provincial Championship.

With the Eagles’ dominance at the net they were hard to compete with. Leading the way was Baumann, who also captured the playoff MVP award as well.

The women were off to Olds Nov. 30 - Dec. 1 to compete in the 2012 Western

Canadian College Volleyball Championships. While there, they competed against teams from all three Prairie Provinces.

The Bethany Men had a disappointing season, ending it without a match victory. However, they were able to grow as a team and show marked improvement on the court and build good rela-

tionships with teammates.

Many are already looking forward to next year’s season.

The Eagle fan base was amazing in both numbers and volume. If there were awards for fans, Bethany would win hands down! For more details about Eagles’ events and games, check www.bethany.sk.ca.

DREAM SEASON

The Bethany College Women’s Volleyball team went undefeated during the 2012 season and ended up with a perfect record to become the first women’s team in the college’s history to be crowned provincial champions. Team members include: (Rear, left to right): Daniella Klassen (coach), Sarah Braun, Erin Bader, Jordan Heppner, Kara Doerksen, Sarah Foster (coach) Front, left to right): Kristen Andres, Alyssa Willems, Jaymie Baunmann, Ashten Eby (Photo courtesy of Ellaina Brown , Bethany College)

FURY DOMINATE ROYALS Continued from Page 19 game in Dalmeny November 23. “We had a few breakdowns in our own end, but overall it was more success on the rush. We had speed in the neutral ice and ended up potting a few goals.”

But the Royals were the first to net the puck after a hectic opening ten minutes of play, with a goal by Daniel Rauckman, which was assisted by Travis Goebel and Spencer Marshall. Dalmeny scored minutes later in the first period, with a goal by Joel Cardinal-Schultz and assisted by Justin Eden.

The Fury’s Tyler Boisvert scored late in first period, assisted by Dean Salzl and Brody Foster. Hague followed that up with 45 seconds left when Travis Goebel put the puck between the pipes, with an assist

by Ryan Sisson.

It was a high energy game with both teams going hard.

But by the end of the second period, Dalmeny was up 6-3.

Roger Kinzel, manager

and coach of the Royals said, “We got some bad breaks, that penalty in the second period hurt us. They’re skating hard, we’re skating hard and she’s going to be an interesting third period.” Kinzel added, “We’ve got some good young skaters so that definitely helps. These are some of the kids from town. We’re trying to go local as much as possible.

They’re all working hard and well hopefully we can whittle that 6 -3 down to something close.”

The Royals were able to collect a couple more goals in the final period. But the Fury’s winning formula brought them victory once again.

“Our goalie Tynan Smysniuk played well. Justin D’Entremont had a good game, he was winning some big draws for us,” said Chappell.

“Our third line consisted of one AP guy and one guy who’s, I’m not sure if he’s 18 or so.

When they fill in they do their job and they do it right so they

get to play more.” Chappell has played twenty some years of senior hockey. “They listen to the coach they get to play, it’s very simple.”

The Royals had 13 players out for this game. Kinzel mentioned, “We’ve got two kids out today that hopefully we’re gonna get back.”

The Fury’s lineup includes about 8 – 10 new guys this year, but there’s not as many on the total roster as last year’s team.

Chappell says they’ve got room for about six more, but “the guys we do have are listening to the coach.” The Fury was able to control a couple of penalties as well. “Penalty kill was working well too, tonight. We had two or three five on threes, two for sure, and we killed them off, so that’s a huge bonus when you can kill a five on. It was good effort from the guys.”

The Royals and The Fury meet up again in Hague on Friday, December 7. Game time is 8:30 p.m.

Delisle Rebels looking forward to 2013 season Byers said as a coach, and as a parent, those are the things that are important. “You want to bump into these kids ten years from now and find that they’ve matured and become a good father and a good husband and a good community member,” he said.

“That’s what this program is really all about.”

He said despite losing an excellent crop of graduating players, the team should be in good shape heading into next season.

“We have a young team,” he said. “Our offense this sea-

son was mostly Grade 11 kids, so going into Grade 12 we’ll have a strong offensive crew next year.”
