Federal electoral boundary map unveiled Warman, Martensville could be part of new riding that stretches from Humboldt to Alta. border The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Saskatchewan has submitted its report redrawing the province’s federal electoral map to the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada. The report was tabled in the House of Commons on Monday, January 28.

Under the proposed electoral map, the cities of Warman and Martensville, along with the towns of Osler, Dalmeny and Langham are includ-

ed in the new federal riding of Kindersley-Rosetown-Hum boldt. Hepburn will be included in the new federal riding of Lloydminster-BattlefordsRosthern. A portion of Corman Park south of Saskatoon will be part of the new SaskatoonGrasswood riding.

The commission’s final report acknowledges the presence of communities of interest within urban areas of the province. It endorses the creation of three urban ridings for Saskatoon as well as two urban ridings and one blended ruralurban riding for Regina. The report follows the public hearings that took place across the

province between September 17 and October 6, 2012.

“The commission was impressed with the level of public participation in the design of the electoral districts’ boundaries. The extensive public input received both before and after the proposal was published stands as a testament to the commitment of the people of Saskatchewan to remain engaged in the democratic process,” said the Honourable Ronald C. Mills, chair of the threemember commission.

One of the commissioners, David Marit, disagreed with the recommendations and wrote a dissenting report.

he RCMP detachment that provides 24-hour police service for Warman, Martensville and other communities is feeling somewhat cramped these days.

“We’re a little stretched for space,” conceded RCMP Staff Sergeant Kevin Weber, Commander of the Warman RCMP Detachment. “We’re working with the Cities of Martensville and Warman to come up with some options. We’re hoping for a new building. But there is some question about where a new building - or possibly two buildings - could potentially be located.”

Currently, the Warman RCMP detachment has its main office in Warman, with satellite offices in Martensville, Radisson and Delisle.

There are currently 25 RCMP officers within the detachment.

An asset management review by the provincial RCMP headquarters is underway to determine optimum staffing levels and building requirements.

Weber said the RCMP intends to retain its existing satellite offices in Radisson and Delisle. However, the detachment is currently holding preliminary discussions with the city councils of Warman and Martensville on the future of facilities in both communities.

RM council shoots down Eagle’s Nest Youth Ranch proposal

By HILARY KLASSEN

A

hklassen@ccgazette.ca

motion to approve a request by Eagles Nest Youth Ranch (ENYR) to use land near Martensville for a youth facility was defeated in a special meeting of the RM Council on Monday, January 28.

ENYR provides group homes for vulnerable youth aged 10 – 16 who are experiencing social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. The proposal is to develop an existing residence which has equine facilities and would house a maximum of 10 youth who would be involved in a long term program.

Emotions surfaced at times as residents of neighbouring properties expressed opposition to having a youth group home next door. One after another, they stepped up to the microphone to voice their concerns.

SAFETY THE BIG CONCERN Among these concerns, safety was at the top of the list, followed by declining property values and road conditions.

Wendy Buller was one of many who spoke about safety concerns. She referenced a handout she had received from ENYR and said: “I can appreciate the need for what they are trying to do. I am against it. What I read is that it could be a male or female youth between the ages of 10 and 16 and they could have a history

posed location. In a gallery of about 40 people, nearly every hand went up. When he asked how many are opposed to the development, nearly every hand went up.

POLICE RESPONSE TIME Murray Grismer lives just outside of the one mile radius. “I’ve been in law enforcement for 26 years and I’ve seen some of the things that can go wrong,” he said.

He has also lived next to a foster home, and his daughter was attacked and a neighbour was burglarized. Grismer feels a better location for the ENYR facility would be in the City of Saskatoon, partly because of emergency and police response times.

Out in the country it can take 20 – 30 minutes for help to arrive to deal with any crisis. Regarding the fears that were expressed, he said, ““Safety • Wendy Trask, RM of Corman Park councillor and the loss of security, whether perceived or real, is real. People’s percepdown.

LETTERS OF SUPPORT Brent Byers had apparently conducted his A couple of written expressions of support own poll of those who could be affected by for the ENYR venture had been passed on to this and determined that 75% were not in fa- council, but no one in the gallery spoke in favour.

Buller was looking for assurance that they “will” be excluded from the mission.

“It could be that my property value could go

carefully consider their concerns and they asked councillors if they would like to live next to a youth facility.

LOCATION TURNED DOWN After hearing concerns from many, councillors expressed their views. There was sympathy for the cause but also a desire for statistical evidence to assist in decision making.

Councillor Wendy Trask noted, “I don’t think we base this on actual statistics of what has happened in other locations. What the people are talking about here tonight is the possibility of what could happen.”

Trask added, “After listening to everyone here tonight, I don’t think there should be any question of how we vote. We should not force it.

The ratepayers are saying no. We’ve got to listen to them. Needless to say I’m voting against this.” Her comments brought enthusiastic applause from the gallery.

When Reeve Judy Harwood asked for the question, the vote was five to two against the recommendation. Two councillors were absent.

More applause greeted this news, as the crowd expressed collective relief.

Eagles Nest Youth Ranch will have to look for another location to develop their next youth facility. In general, councillors expressed their support of the program, but listened to the ratepayers regarding the location.

Kennel owner opposes proposed RM of Corman Park zoning bylaw

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca

Buena Vista Kennels owner Barry Gay feels targeted by a draft noise bylaw that he says singles out boarding kennels.

“As it stands right now, having boarding kennels in there is extremely discriminatory,” said Gay during a presentation to the RM of Corman Park council at its regular meeting on January 7. “I think there’s only three, possibly four kennels in the RM.” Gay’s purpose in speaking to the Council was twofold.

“First,” he said, he wanted “to propose the idea that it might be worthwhile to take the reference to boarding kennels out of schedule A and, second, to maybe ask a little bit different way of managing it that will, I think, alleviate a lot of potential for legal costs.” The bylaw, according to Gay, allows “one unreasonably sensitive complainant” to draw the RM into legal conflict and this is going to increase as council allows more development in the municipality.

The complainant he refers to is a neighbour whose previous complaints landed Gay and the RM in court. To support his claims, Gay presented

a video of this neighbour who is clearly upset, leaning over a fence and delivering a passionate speech, using some profanity to get his message across.

This neighbour, says Gay, has dissuaded customers from entering his business, and was charged at one point by the police with uttering threats and found guilty.

Gay suggests council consider two things, decibel levels and the duration of sound.

He finds that the bylaw “gives the impression that barking is louder and more upsetting and annoying than trucks hauling gravel, gravel being crushed, cars racing and that kind of thing, and of course that’s not the case. Barking dogs are not louder than those things.”

Gay feels Council needs to establish a standard that provides an objective measure where any given noise either meets the standard or it doesn’t, and added, “I would be willing to pay a ticket if I was over the objective standard.”

Councillor Fox said, “I agree with you that there needs to be a concrete measure of noise and I’ve recommended that several times.” Gay is willing to do research on decibel levels, has engineering friends that will do this at no charge, and says he will present the

It was just another December day of volunteering at St. Michael’s School when Gail Graves suddenly found herself being ushered into the auditorium. Her husband was there and she asked him, “Ray, what is going on here?” Graves was blissfully unaware that something incredible was about to happen.

What followed may well be the most memorable surprise of her life. Graves knew she had been nominated for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award, but that was back in spring and it hadn’t been on her mind much. She volunteers for Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) in Saskatoon as an “in school mentor.” Graves had been nominated by her BBBS caseworker. When she saw all the staff from BBBS in the auditorium, realization gradually dawned. She was being awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award!

As she tells this story, she gets up to grab a tissue. Her eyes moisten as she is touched once again by the memory of receiving the award. They are good tears. “I was in shock,” she says. “I couldn’t believe it!”

Barry Gay makes a presentation requesting consideration regarding noise levels for his boarding kennel results in an unbiased way.

Reeve Judy Harwood said the Council is sympathetic.

However, when he heard nothing, Gay returned to Council on January 21 to make inquiries.

“I was kind of surprised when I saw the noise bylaw

SPEECHLESS AT CEREMONY Wayne Wiens, BBBS’ Executive Director, read a letter describing Graves’ exceptional volunteer work, and then called her forward and presented the award. “I couldn’t say anything. I was speechless,” said Graves. “They thought I would fall over. It was such an honour. I was in shock.”

Graves was also presented with three bouquets of fresh cut flowers, one from BBBS in Prince Alberta and Melfort jointly, one from her Saskatoon family that was present, and one from St. Michael School. The auditorium was filled with 150 students,

plus the staff of the school and the staff of BBBS. A children’s choir presented a thank-you song that “was just beautiful.”

Following the presentation, there was coffee and cake for everyone and many congratulations for Graves.

ADORED MENTOR Graves has been a volunteer for BBBS for over 20 years.

She has the letter from the ceremony and begins to read: “As a volunteer, Gail shows

up for third reading, and none of the changes that I had the impression were going to happen are in it,” he said. “When I left last time I felt there was a lot of understanding from the council that we were going to do our best to avoid spending a lot of money on lawsuits in the future and my concern was that this bylaw was sending us down that road.”

Council had tabled the noise bylaw earlier in the day, and after further discussion, Councillor Gord Gunoff moved that dog kennels be removed from Schedule A and that the kennels hours of operation be extended from 8 to 9 pm. The motion passed unanimously and Gay left a happy man.

U of S scholarships contribute to student success When Melody Wong received a letter informing her she was the recipient of a prestigious University of Saskatchewan scholarship, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

Wong, who attended high school at Regina’s Campbell Collegiate, was awarded the George and Marsha Ivany President’s First and Best Scholarship. Valued at $24,000 -- $6,000 over four years – the scholarship is provided annually to five students beginning their studies at the U of S. The students must graduate from a Canadian high school, go directly

from high school to the U of S and achieve a minimum high school average of 95%.

Wong was thrilled to receive the scholarship, which she says “secured my path to the U of S.” “I felt extremely excited, happy and honoured to be chosen for this scholarship. I couldn’t believe my eyes; I had to read the letter over

twice to be sure it was real,” she said.

“I recall running down the stairs in joy to tell my parents, and they were just as happy as I was. It was a great day.”

Wong is currently in her first year in the College of Arts and Science. She dreams of becoming a doctor.

“Receiving the scholarship helped my family and I tremendously in funding my education. It makes it easier for me to pursue my ultimate goal to become a physician, as it will take additional years of financial resources,” she said.

13015UU00 Su Ping Ng, an international student from Selangor, Malaysia, also felt “really surprised” when she received an email informing her she was the recipient of a scholarship for international students. The news that she would receive the scholarship – valued at $45,000 over four years – was a determining factor in her decision to study at the U of S.

“Knowing that there would only be two recipients, I tried my best to apply for the scholarship but I didn’t get my hopes up too high to avoid disappointment. I have to admit that I still couldn’t believe the good news after two weeks of receiving the email,” said Ng, a second-year student in the Edwards School of Business.

“I needed a scholarship to finance my studies, and that was a huge amount of scholarship,” she added.

In the 2011-2012 fiscal year, the U of S awarded $35 million in scholarships, bursaries and prizes. Arvelle Van Dyck, awards administration officer at the U of S, said awards provide a way for students to offset the financial investment of a university education. She noted scholarships, awards

and bursaries are “free money,” as they are not paid back, and students can enhance their resumes by listing the awards they have received.

“Awards lead to student success. Financial support allows students to focus on their studies and excel academically,” Van Dyck said.

“The U of S and its donors use awards to recognize excellence in certain academic areas and provide financial support to students who need it most. As a university community, we believe everyone should have access to a university education. Also, we want students to attend the U of S and graduate with a University of Saskatchewan degree.”

At the U of S, there are two types of awards for undergraduate students: Guaranteed En-

Gazette CLARK S CROSSING

trance Scholarships and Competitive Entrance Awards.

Guaranteed Entrance Scholarships are based entirely on high school academic achievement. Competitive Entrance Awards are based on academic achievement and other criteria, such as participation in extra-curricular activities, athletic ability or financial need, and require a separate application form and, often, supporting documents.

The deadline to apply for Guaranteed Entrance Scholarships and Competitive Entrance Awards is Feb. 15, 2013.

For more information, go online to explore.usask.ca and look under the Money Matters tab.

“My advice is you can’t win if you don’t apply, so apply, apply, apply,” said Van Dyck.

I’m Graduating from High School – now what?

As many students head into the final few months of high school, a popular question being asked is “So what are your plans after high school?” Did you know that a university education will help you earn more money than just having a high school diploma - 78% higher, according to the 2006 Census. University graduates also have a job placement rate of 88% - well above that of those with just high school (61.4%) according to www.td.com.

Where to begin? Start by asking yourself some questions. What subjects do I like? What interests do I have? Think about your favourite subjects or activities. If there are more than one, that’s okay, you don’t have to have all the answers right now.

Once you have an idea of the subjects that interest you, or to look for ideas, check out the Web. The University of Regina has designed a special site – uregina.ca/futurestudents – to help you. You’ll find information about programs, admission requirements, scholarships, services and more. There is even a special section for parents.

Over the next couple of months admission

counsellors will be visiting schools across the province to help you with your admission application and give you tips on how to apply for scholarships. They are armed with information to help you select a program that meets your interests, and they’ll make sure you have all the supporting documents. We even conduct admissions “on-the-spot” sessions in a number of communities, so you can find out right away if you are admitted. Check with your guidance office for more information.

Tip: Apply by March 15, 2013 - our Priority Deadline. Submitting your application by this date will enable you to take advantage of scholarships, early course registration and our residence guarantee. For details go to uregina.ca/ futurestudents/apply-now.

Don’t forget to visit the campus. Campus visits are the best way to find out why the U of R will be a good fit for you. The University of Regina offers daily campus tours, special events and our Open House in May, where you can spend a night on campus and experience residence.

Financial planning steps for university education Many students who plan to attend university inquire about scholarship programs. However, few students look into all of the funding opportunities available, or know all of the costs associated with university education.

It is important to understand the costs of attending university and to have a sense of how you will fund your studies. Here are some tips and time lines to be considered.

Step 1: Determine the costs. It is important to have a clear understanding of the costs for the specific program you are looking at. Tuition fees vary

from program to program and from institution to institution.

Residence costs can also vary significantly, depending on the style of residence and the meal plan. To help you get a sense of the costs visit uregina.ca/futurestudents/moneymatters/costs.

Step 2: Apply for entrance scholarships, awards and bursaries. The University of Regina offers a number of entrance scholarships and awards.

Some are automatic and others require an application form. Application-based scholarships have a March 15 deadline. Full details are

available at uregina.ca/futurestudents/money-matters/ scholarships-awards.

Tip 1: One common mistake made by students is waiting for an offer of admission or waiting until they accept an offer of admission before applying for scholarships and bursaries. This is too late.

Students should apply for scholarships and bursaries at the same time they submit an application for admission.

Tip 2: Be strategic when responding to scholarship application questions.

When listing activities and accomplishments, students should focus on quality, not quantity. Providing a list of everything you have been involved in does not provide depth about who you are and what you have accomplished.

For example, if you were a member of a student club, write about what you did as a member of the club and highlight your specific accomplishments.

Step 3: Apply for external scholarships and awards. There are many private companies and organizations that provide funding. Popular Web sites to access external scholarship information are Studentawards.com and Can-

learn.ca.

Step 4: Apply for the government student assistance program available in your home province, such as Saskatchewan Student Loans. Government student assistance programs provide funding in the form of loans, grants and scholarships. To ensure students receive funding in time to pay for tuition fees in September, it is recommended that applications and any supporting documents are submitted by mid-June. For more information visit

uregina.ca/futurestudents/ money-matters/governmentassistance.

Following these steps will help ensure your access all possible sources of funding to pay for university. Every student will have different needs and each institution will have different costs, and that’s why it is important to look at your specific situation and take advantage of all opportunities available.

It’s true - sometimes you really do want to go where everybody knows your name.

Or at least the name of the guy sitting next to you.

So off Great Plains College went to the Alberta Health and Safety Conference and Trade Fair in Edmonton, to help promote the Certificate in Health, Safety and Environmental Processes and Diploma in Safety, Health and Environmental Management programs.

There, Great Plains shared a display booth with program creator Don Sayers and the University of Fredericton, from which the college brokers the programs.

“We went as a team so it went very well,” said Great Plains College program coordinator Cindy Keith. “The University of Fredericton is very well known in that industry. Everybody that walked up to the booth knew them.”

That partnership is a big part of what helped Great Plains College stand out among the 130-plus exhibitors at the trade show.

Fredericton’s CHSEP certificate and SHEM diploma were the first programs of their kind to be offered entirely online - with an emphasis on being Great Plains College program coordinator Cindy Keith attended the Alberta Health accessible to those already working and Safety Conference and Trade Fair with full-time in the field of occupational program creator Don Sayers and health and safety. the University of Fredericton.

As well, Great Plains College remains the only college in western Canada - and one of just two in the entire country - to offer these programs entirely online.

Both programs meet provincial OH&S standards across Canada and are endorsed by the Canadian Registered Safety Professionals and the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering.

With a minimum of three hours’ study time per week, students can complete the Foundations Level CHSEP program in one year, and the Advanced Level CHSEP program in an additional 18 months.

SHEM students can expect to complete their diploma in 16 months or less.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 2013 • PG. 8

Regardless of how you feel about the way aboriginal people have been recently expressing their concerns and frustrations, there does seem to be an undeniable reality.

In Saskatchewan where the economy has been moving forward for a decade now, aboriginal people are headed in the opposite direction.

Or so seems to be the conclu-

Aboriginal jobs a problem for us all

sion of a study on the gap in aboriginal education and employment in our province, conducted by University of Saskatchewan economic professor Eric Howe.

And according to the university professor, the consequences of this could be quite bad.

“By the middle of this century, Saskatchewan is going to be majority aboriginal,” Howe said. “If the gap between education and the

Reader Opinions Conservatives ignore housing need While cities and provinces are working hard on the pressing lack of affordable housing for Canadians, MP Maurice Vellacott and the Conservatives are quietly getting the federal government out of it.

An estimated 150,000 to 300,000 Canadians are homeless and thirteen percent don’t have access to affordable housing with enough bedrooms for their family. Some families of nine live in apartments for two because that’s all they can afford.

Our housing needs are not being met and the instability this causes in people’s lives has a tremendous economic cost—you can’t prepare your resume on a street corner. Nor is it cheap for taxpayers: the costs of medical care, shelters and day programs for the homeless are more expensive than providing them a place to live.

Yet instead of putting resources in to fix the problem, the federal government is actually pulling back support. Over the next ten years, federally-funded mortgages are coming due for housing co-operatives that provide affordable housing. Tied to those mortgages are operating agreements that provide vital funding for the co-ops and there are no plans to renew these subsidies. Without them,

NEED TO

over 200,000 of the most vulnerable Canadians could lose their homes.

The Conservatives are quietly booking $1.6 billion in annual “savings” from this cut to affordable housing and have no plans to reinvest the money.

And that’s not the end of it: the federal Investment in Affordable Housing Program expires in 2014, but the Conservatives have still not begun negotiation for its renewal.

It could get rolled into a general infrastructure fund, moving this money out of housing.

Why is this happening? Because Mr. Vellacott and the Conservatives believe housing is a provincial responsibility and want to get out of it—they even said so in the 2006 Budget.

That’s just wrong. The Liberal Party believes that the opportunity to succeed begins with a roof over your head. By investing in affordable housing, the federal government could help put some of the most at-risk Canadians back on their feet, living healthy lives and contributing to the economy.

It’s time the federal government to do more for affordable housing, not less.

Provincial Politics

gap between employment aren’t addressed, then they will result in social upheaval on a level that has not been seen in Saskatchewan since the Great Depression.”

The reason? Even during this economic boom, Saskatchewan is not doing a very good job of finding work for its aboriginal people.

Take 2009 when one out of every four aboriginal persons that was employed in January of that year was unemployed by December _ what Howe called a “disaster for First Nations employment.”

“If a quarter of (all working) people had lost their jobs, we probably would have had the Regina Riot,” said Howe, noting that the loss job rate in the aboriginal community would be equivalent to the province shedding a 100,000 jobs in a single year.

And while the loss of aboriginal jobs isn’t quite as severe as 2009, there were still 400 less aboriginal people working in Saskatchewan in 2012 than there was in 2011.

The university professor cited the government’s abandonment of specific aboriginal employment programs as part of the problem.

Another possible part of the equation was the increase in immigration through the province’s immigrant nominee program that resulted in increase in unskilled workers.

Of course, there will be those less sympathetic with the notion of new immigrants eagerly taking jobs that might have once went to aboriginals.

And as an economics professor grounded in the reality of business, Howe understands the rationale.

“Would an employer rather hire a person who’s family has been on the welfare cycle for two or three generations?” Howe asked. “Or are employers more inclined to hire someone whose wages in another country were far less?”

But the head of economics at the U.S. believes employers, the public and the government aren’t grasping how big problem this problem truly ... or even how badly Saskatchewan is doing when compared with other jurisdictions.

For example, Saskatchewan is doing the worst job of educating First Nation people of any province west of the Maritimes. In 1996, 65.7 per cent of aboriginal people between 15 and 69 had a high school diploma, Howe noted. By 2006, that figure for that age group had fallen to 55.8 per cent. In a society where more education is need, that is not good news for the ability of aboriginal people to find jobs.

Moreover, Saskatchewan has

the worst record of employing aboriginal people in Western Canada.

Even Manitoba, that hasn’t enjoyed a resource boom, has been hiring more.

And if Saskatchewan’s aboriginal employment could simply catch up the level of Alberta and Manitoba, it would add $6.7 to provincial GDP. It’s also here when Howe begins to successful challenge the notion that the problem can be chalked up to an unwillingness of Saskatchewan aboriginal people to work. The question becomes, “why are they less lazy” in Manitoba and Alberta? Howe asked.

It may be that other jurisdictions have been more slightly more dedicated to putting aboriginal people on the path towards finding jobs.

Saskatchewan needs to be similarly committed.

Regardless of how anyone feels about this issue, it is a problem desperately in need of addressing.

Warman Night among highlights of CUC 25th anniversary event

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Circle Saturday, February 9 on your calendar.

That’s “Warman Night” at the Saskatoon Blades game,

Growth putting pressure on existing RCMP detachment space

where the City of Warman will be in the spotlight. Information on the fast-growing city’s businesses, residential neighbourhoods and organizations will be promoted.

It’s one of many highlights scheduled to take place at the event, which will mark the 25th Anniversary of Credit Union Centre (CUC). The arena officially opened its doors when the Saskatoon Blades beat the Brandon Wheat Kings

on February 9, 1988.

The Blades are slated to take on the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Saturday, February 9, 2013, and CUC is planning a major party.

The 50/50 pot for the game starts at $25,000, with proceeds shared between Ronald MacDonald House, the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan, and the Saskatoon Blades Education Fund.

Prices are getting rolled back to 1988 levels too. Kids 12 and under can purchase an admission ticket for $2.50, and there’s a $2.50 hot dog and drink special.

There will be a $250,000 Shootout feature, where one lucky fan will get a chance to shoot at the goal to win a quarter of a million dollars.

Jack Brodsky, owner of the Saskatoon Blades, said he’s anticipating a huge crowd. “In

will be many months before anything concrete is put forward.

“Both cities obviously want to ensure the RCMP maintains a physical presence,” said Weber. “We understand that, because it’s an important consideration.”

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence confirmed talks are ongoing, and stressed that the cities are cooperating to work out a solution that is in the best interests of the region as a whole.

“Both Warman and Martensville councils realize we need to do something about the current RCMP office space situation,” she said. “We know the Mounties are feeling the pressure that comes from growth, and the onus is now on us to come up with a plan. We’re in initial discussions, and a decision will have to be made within the next year on how to move forward.”

In addition to determining the type and location of a new building or buildings, discussions are also underway regarding funding arrangements.

Weber said the RCMP detachment will continue to send out a weekly summary of activities to the Clark’s Crossing Gazette.

“It’s a very important piece of our communications strategy,” said Weber, adding they are also looking at expanding those reports via e-mail and internet.

He said since amalgamation, there has been an overwhelmingly positive response to the 24-hour policing schedule.

The RCMP detachment is also still weighing its options when it comes to a new name.

“There’s a perception that the name needs to reflect the larger area that we are responsible for policing,” explained Weber. “It’s not just Warman.

We have a total of 15 communities, including Martensville, Delisle, Radisson, Borden, Langham, Osler, Vanscoy, Corman Park and others.”

Last fall, the Advisory Committee to the detachment recommended changing the name to the Sask Valley Regional detachment. That proposal was endorsed by both the Warman and Martensville city councils.

However, the provincial RCMP headquarters would have to approve the name change before it could become official. That has not happened.

And in the meantime, the detachment is also talking to other municipal representatives to gather suggestions for names. “Because we serve a large area, we need to have those discussions,” said Weber.

“That communication with our rural component is very important to us.”

Weber also confirmed that the reference to “Sask Valley” could potentially lead to confusion with the Rosthern RCMP detachment.

School division grapples with changes to classroom instructional time

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

T

he Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) is exploring options for increasing the number of hours of instructional time in the classroom.

The provincial government recently proclaimed legislative and regulatory amendments to set instructional time during the school year at 950 hours.

The changes, aimed at making Saskatchewan’s required instructional hours consistent with other provinces, are scheduled to take effect in September 2013, and will apply to the 2013-14 academic year.

ADDING MORE HOURS The amendments will mean the PSSD must add an estimated 30 more hours of instructional time to the calendar year, said Larry Pavloff, Chair of the PSSD Board of Education.

But it’s not clear yet just how those extra hours will be worked into the schedule.

“The school division has a calendar committee that will come up with some options for the school calendar,” explained Pavloff in an interview January 24. “It’s not a matter of simply tacking some extra minutes onto the day. If we’re putting in more time, we want to provide the same high-quality education as we are now, but find a way to provide more of it.”

Pavloff said the school division calendar committee is made up of administrative staff, teachers, support staff and parents. The committee prepares a draft calendar for the upcoming academic year that must be in the hands of the Ministry of Education by May 1 every year.

“There’s a timeline in place where this proposal has to be ready,” said Pavloff. “We need to come up with a workable plan by April.”

TIMETABLE CHALLENGE John Kuzbik, PSSD Director of Education, said the school calendar has 197 days, and traditionally schools have operated with 5 hours of classroom instructional time within those 197 days. Currently, there is no minimum number of hours specified for instructional time.

“It will have an impact on schools throughout the province,” confirmed Kuzbik in an interview January 23. “Instructional hours basically means ‘face time’ between teachers and students.

The Ministry of Education is essentially saying they don’t want instructional time eroded to fewer than 950 hours.”

Kuzbik said the requirement for 950 hours of quality teaching time is a new factor added into the mix.

“There are various ways that can be achieved,” he said.

“It’s not a factor that was considered previously. But one thing that is certain is that we want to maintain teacher contact time, and more tightly define what that will look like.”

Kuzbik said research indicates that “increased time in the classroom will not, by itself, make a difference. But, increased time with quality instruction will make a difference. Good things are happening now in our schools, and we want to build on that.”

At the same time, the

school calendar also has to take into account teacher preparation and in-service time, school breaks and other factors.

BALANCING INTERESTS The objective is to find a balance between several competing interests, he explained.

“We want to make decisions that have the long-term benefit of expanding the number of hours of high-quality education that we already provide,” he said. “We don’t want to come up with something that is simply a knee-jerk reaction.

We want a solution that is sustainable.”

He noted the school division is obliged to honour contractual agreements with teachers and support staff.

‘Things like teacher inservice days or teacher preparation time no longer count as instructional time,” explained Kuzbik. “We really value that teacher in-service time, and we need to keep those things in place. So when you’re looking at those 950 hours, you have to take into account the number of days that aren’t recognized as instructional time,

and then determine how many hours have to be made up.”

Kuzbik said one of the difficulties is that the legislation has not been passed.

“But we have the intent of the legislation in our hands,” he said. “The assumption is that all the suggested changes will be passed, and that, in turn, dictates what our calendar will look like.”

Calendar proposals will first go to the PSSD Board of Education, and from there distributed to parents, teachers and staff for feedback.

Kuzbik said the calendar committee is working on drafting several proposals that will be submitted to the school board, teachers, students and parents for feedback before a final decision is made in April. The calendar committee is made up of school-based administrators, representatives of the Prairie Spirit Teachers Association (PSTA), representatives of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) - which represents non-teaching support staff, and PSSD office administration staff.

The Warman Mennonite Special Care Home (WMSCH) has re-opened its doors to visitors, following the end of an outbreak of Influenza A at the facility.

The nursing home in Warman received the green light from the Saskatoon Health Region (SHR) on Wednesday, January 23 to allow visitors, residents and staff to come and go freely.

The facility had been closed since Monday, January 7, when the presence of the Influenza A virus was first confirmed.

“It’s wonderful news,” said Jim Wiebe, Administrator of the WMSCH in an interview January 23. “Everybody’s pretty happy today. The biggest change is that visitors are allowed in. This morning we were able to have a church service again for the first time in a long time. People are able to see their spouses and loved ones, and the dining room is a hive of activity once again. There’s been no shortage of tears of joy.”

For more than two weeks, the WMSCH had to remain closed, as residents diagnosed with the highly-contagious Influenza A virus were isolated in their rooms and closely monitored by staff.

It was a difficult time for residents and their families, noted Wiebe.

“We have some residents who rely very heavily on daily visits from their spouses and family members who come and spend time with them, help them with their meals and keep them company,” he said. “That’s basically their life, so that was sadly disrupted over the past two weeks.”

There were about half a dozen confirmed cases of Influenza A at the care home over the two week period, noted Wiebe. “The total number of cases wasn’t large, but they were spread out over several days,”he said.

He noted the care home took extra precautions during the outbreak

Legends Centre gymnasium in Warman humming with activities

T

he newly-completed gymnasium at the Legends Centre in Warman is a busy place these days with basketball, volleyball, badminton and soccer games in full swing virtually every day.

And, while the facility’s second gym won’t be finished until this fall when the new Warman Community Middle School is slated to open, the place is looking less like a construction zone and more like a sports destination. The addition of lights in the parking lot in early January certainly helped in that regard.

The centre houses a stateof-the-art hockey arena, multiuse gym, a restaurant and concession, fitness centre, meeting rooms, and the municipal parks and recreation department offices. Plans are in the works for

additional businesses, including a sports physiotherapy centre and a yogurt bar, to open in the facility soon.

“We’re busy,” confirmed Paul McGonigal, recreation and community services manager for the City of Warman.

“The arena is in constant use, and the gym is booked for most weekday afternoons and every weekend.”

McGonigal said the gymnasium on the east side of the complex, which is large enough to accommodate three basketball courts, is completely finished and the score clocks and fittings are operational. The gym is slightly smaller than regulation size for indoor soccer, but is large enough to accommodate games and practices. The large floor area can be separated into three smaller courts through the use of flexible divider walls.

“It was designed to be a multi-purpose recreation centre,” said McGonigal. “So that meant we had to build in some compromises in terms of size.

We wanted to make it usable by as many groups as we could, and have it as close to regulation size as possible. The badminton and volleyball courts are regulation size, and there are three basketball courts that are junior high school size. The main basketball court is regulation size as well.”

McGonigal said a variety of community groups are currently using the facility on a regular basis. “We have adult programs and youth programs, and we’ve started taking a lot of bookings and reservations for tournaments,” he said. “The majority of usergroups are from Warman, but we’re getting quite a few from Saskatoon.”

The facility is in use by community groups from about 5:00 p.m. until 10:30 at night.

“All three courts are in use all the time,” said McGonigal. “We have some drop-in programs that start about 3 o’clock as well.”

The Warman High School cheerleading group now holds practices in the Legends Centre, and McGonigal said the joint-use agreement between the city of Warman and the school division has helped ease the over-crowding in the school. “The high school athletic programs continue into late afternoon and evening,” he said. “They don’t end when the school day ends. There was a lot of demand for gym space at the high school, and this has helped spread things around.”

McGonigal said the facility is working toward generating more revenue to offset oper-

ating costs. “We try to achieve 80 per cent cost recovery from recreation facilities,” he said.

“That’s our goal, and we generally achieve that with the arenas. We’re going to try and do the same with the gymnasium facility.”

He added that while it’s not hard to book “prime time” events in the early evening, the challenge is to generate more activities during the day and during late evening hours.

“It’s not just a matter of pulling more people in to use the gym,” he said. “It’s also important to have people here for the businesses that lease space in the building.”

Construction of the middle school, which will be physically joined with the sports complex at the southwest corner, is proceeding on target, according to McGonigal. But having an unfinished portion of the facility

creates some challenges.

“We had a bit of an issue with a flood a few weeks back when one of the overhead sprinkler heads broke because the waterline froze,” said McGonigal. “But the construction company has improved the amount of insulation along that wall, and has taken other steps to remedy the problem, so that’s not an issue anymore. The tricky part comes in scheduling different jobs in both buildings. For example, our new floor for the gym has to be ready for the opening of the school in the fall, but we can’t install the flooring until all the work that involves the heavy construction equipment is finished. And the company that installs the flooring is busy with jobs all over western Canada, so they need to schedule it in. It’s going to be a tight timeline, but we’re confident.”

Warman youth burning up track in Superbike motorcycle circuit in USA Submitted by ALIX HAYDEN

a.hayden@phenomenome.com

Sixteen year old Bodhi Edie, a grade eleven student at Warman High School, is celebrating reaching some lofty goals this past year.

He’s spent the past four summers competing in the Canadian Superbike Championship series, moving up through development classes, until summer 2012 saw him stepping up to the premier Superbike class aboard a 1000cc, 183 horsepower BMW superbike that reaches top speeds in excess of 300 km/ hr. The youngest competitor in the class in 2012, Edie set two goals for himself at the beginning of the season. “I wanted to get at least one podium finish, and to place within the top five in championship points overall,” says Bodhi, “it went right down to the wire at the last round of the season in Ontario, but I never doubted it would happen.”

Bodhi has been winning Canadian championships in motorcycle racing since he was ten years old. He enjoys dirt biking and motocross, and rides a modified dirt bike with spiked tires on ice in the winter for off season training, but his passion is road racing. He first rode a mini bike on a road course when he was six years old, and never looked back. Road courses are paved tracks with a variety of turns and differing elevations, where competitors race in a distinctive knee- and elbow-dragging fashion at incredible lean angles. After a top five finish in the amateur ranks in 2010, Bodhi was required to compete alongside the pro riders in the 2011 season. Aboard a Honda CBR600, Bodhi competed in the Pro Sportbike class, and his fifth place finish won him 2011 Canadian Pro Rookie of the Year honours.

After 2011, it was clear to Bodhi and his Edie Racing team that the best strategy for 2012 would be to move up to the 1000cc superbike class. Superbike is the premier motorcycle road racing class in Canada, and is where top competitors vie for sponsorship and factory team contracts. “Bodhi did very well on his CBR600 in 2011, and knowing what he is capable of, it’s important to keep challenging his skills development,” says Devin Edie, Bodhi’s dad and team crew chief.

Bodhi Edie leads the pack in a turn at Ontario’s Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. take advantage of a solid race program through BMW, which offered a tremendous combination of bike and contingency, particularly for a rookie superbike team trying to run on a shoestring budget.”

Bodhi’s 2012 Canadian national campaign started off strong as he finished 7th in the first race at Ontario’s Shannonville Motorsport Park. He followed up with a 6th at round two in St. Eustache (QB), and a 5th place finish at Atlantic Motorsports Park near Shubenacadie (NS). By the halfway point in the season, Bodhi’s team was confident his goals were realistic, and others in the paddock were realizing that this young phenom was the real deal, able to be competitive at the front of the pack on a superbike, which takes a great deal more maturity and race craft than comparatively good showings in the support classes. “The superbike class is really the test of your mettle, in any race series,” says Bodhi, “the other classes are seen as development classes, and a lot of guys do well there, but never really impress in the top class; that happens all the time.”

In the fourth round of the season at Quebec’s Circuit Mont-Tremblant, Edie experienced a hiccup, with a qualifying position outside the top ten for the first time all season. This turned out to be an opportunity to show his competitive grit.

Bodhi rode a hard race and finish-

ing at the back of a close three rider battle for the fourth spot. The season finished up in August at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Ontario with a two-round doubleheader. In the final race of the season, Bodhi finally scored his podium finish with a 3rd place ranking, and secured year-end points that put him in fifth in the overall championship standings. Competing against seasoned pros, most of whom have had the benefit of development in a factory team setting in the past, it is difficult to overstate the brilliance of this result coming from a young privateer.

To cap off the 2012 season, with the pressure of the Canadian series off, Bodhi teamed up with fellow racer and long-time sponsor and supporter, Chuck Antle, to make a trip down to Utah’s Miller Motorsports Park to drop in on the final round of a regional race series that runs there and is sanctioned by the American pro racing organization, the AMA. Bodhi turned a lot of heads south of the border, taking his first career superbike pole position by almost a second in the qualifier for the premier King of the Mountain superbike class. He warmed up for that race by taking a second and a first place in

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 2013

Appearance of illness a reminder for residents, caregivers to get flu shot CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

to prevent the spread of the virus, and to ensure patients with the flu did not develop pneumonia.

Wiebe said there were two deaths of elderly residents of the care home during that time, but neither was related to the Influenza A outbreak. “They did not show any symptoms associated with the flu,” he said. “They did, however, have other underlying health complications.”

Wiebe said flu shots were given to the residents last fall, and that likely helped dampen the impact of the Influenza A outbreak.

“They all had flu shots, and even though this strain of the flu was not covered by the vaccine, it very likely provided some protection,” he said.

The outbreak was also a stark reminder to staff and visitors of the importance of obtaining a flu shot in the fall. “The residents of the care home are elderly and vulnerable to this type of outbreak,” he said. “It’s essential to protect them.”

While the temporary closure has ended, visitors are encouraged to exercise caution and refrain from coming to the care home if they are currently experiencing a viral or bacterial respiratory infection. A sign on the door of the care home states: “If you are sick or have been in the last 48 hours with stomach flu, cold/ coughing and/or flu-like symptoms, do not visit. Your family/friends are vulnerable to all bacterial and viral infections.”

Graves receives one of 60,000 Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Awards CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

kindness and understanding to her mentees. She engages them through making different types of crafts, she helps them with their reading, and she gives each of her mentees a journal. The journal is for the mentees to keep. It is a reminder of the memories they have shared and a reminder that the mentee is not alone. Gail goes above and beyond with her mentees; she always provides a supportive ear and an understanding heart. Gail’s mentees adore her. Her mentees indicate that they like being around her because she does not judge them and she’s funny.”

Emotion catches her a couple of times as the impact of these affirming words touches her again. She says, “No wonder I got the award.

Look at this letter!” Graves got involved in BBBS because at one point her son was a little brother and she was asked to be on the board to represent the mothers of little brothers. From there she moved on to become a mentor.

MEDAL PROTOCOL The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee

Award was announced in February 2012 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of her Majesty’s accession to the throne. The deadline for nominations was the end of May. “Sixty thousand medals were minted to be handed out to volunteers who have made a difference in their community,” notes Graves.

The medal comes with a little protocol booklet that suggests when to wear it. “The medal can be worn

for Remembrance Day, July 1st, any volunteer function that I go to, and formal functions where people are decorated such as service people.”

Graves had been honoured earlier in the year with the Potash Corp Volunteer of the Year Award.

The Remai Arts Centre hosted the August event with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, entertainment, wine tasting and a fireworks festival, all of which was “wonderful!”

Graves was probably a fan of the monarchy before, but now, she says, “the monarch is family.”

She thinks it’s wonderful that the queen is giving out these awards.

Is life different now? “Not a wink,” she says. “It will never change what I do. It’s a real honour.

I will keep doing this.” It’s an hour a week with one child at the school.

She has never changed schools.

“It’s probably one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. We all think everybody lives the same life as we live, but they don’t.” She is always matched with a little girl, and says, “the girls really look forward to this.”

The letter concludes, “Volunteers do not come better than Gail Graves. Not only is her commitment to Big Brothers Big Sisters outstanding, but her commitment to improving her community and the lives of children is what really makes her shine.”

“I was in awe and I still am,” said Graves with a smile.

CANCER

AQUARIUS

LEO

Financial concerns will ease with a windfall, as long as you put the funds to good use. This is not the time for careless spending, Capricorn.

No news is good news, Aquarius, so stop snooping. You will find out soon enough what is going on, and it may surprise you. A scrapbook revives a tradition.

PISCES

Can it, Pisces. You’ve said more than enough. Let someone else have a say at work. There is more to a friend’s story than you realize. Dig a little.

ARIES

Watch your step, Aries. Someone is waiting for you to slip up. Don’t. Move forward with confidence, and others will soon join you.

An auto issue persists.

TAURUS

Tsk-tsk, Taurus. You didn’t make the mess, so why are you feeling the need to clean it up. Leave it to the one at fault, else a valuable lesson will be lost.

GEMINI

Furry friends bring out the kid in you, and the urge to play hits. Go for it, Gemini. It will be some time again before you have the opportunity.

Misunderstandings lead to chaos at home.

It is up to you to resolve the matter, Cancer. Don’t dawdle. Memories resurface at the sight of a book.

Youngsters lighten your load at home.

Show your gratitude with a trip somewhere nice, Leo. A phone call provides insight into a personal dilemma.

VIRGO

A project comes to a satisfactory conclusion. Take out the team to celebrate, Virgo. Travel plans begin to take shape. Don’t overlook a deal.

LIBRA

Many offers are extended, but only one is worth taking, Libra. Study them in great detail. A weekend excursion provides a much-needed change of pace.

SCORPIO

New faces enter the fold, and the ideas start whirling. Make sure you write them down, Scorpio. Who knows when creativity will strike again.

SAGITTARIUS

The answer you seek is near, Sagittarius.

Look closely. A bargain is struck, and the item you’ve had your eye on is yours for the taking.

Vipers shut out Bruins Martensville’s Shumay crowned 2013 Scotties provincial champion in Bantam AA action

By TERRY PUGH

A split in the fifth end to count four was the shot heard all around the province and one that propelled Jill Shumay and her Maidstone rink to their first provincial championship. And, despite more than a few tense moments that followed, Shumay went on to defeat Stefanie Lawton 8-7 in Sunday’s SaskPower Scotties Tournament of Hearts final in Balgonie.

Trailing 4-2 to through four ends, Shumay pulled off the split to go up 6-4. However, the two-point lead disappeared and turned into a 7-7 tie after Lawton counted one in the 9th. With last rock in the 10th end, Shumay found herself with an open hit for one and made the most of her opportunity.

“We were all pretty pumped up at that point and all (second Taryn Holtby and lead Jinaye Ayrey) wanted to do was get out there and sweep,” the 37-year-old recalled. “Kara (Johnston) is

go and throw it and the rest, as they say, is history.”

Heading into the weekend Shumay was among a class of former provincial champions and some big names on the women’s curling scene. But, even with the likes of Amber Holland, Trish Paulsen, Michelle Englot and Lawton in the house, pressure was never an issue for the lesser-known Shumay rink who went undefeated through the five-game round-robin.

Shumay, who grew up in Maidstone but now works in Saskatoon and resides in Martensville with her husband and two sons, is still coming to terms with the fact her quartet are provincial champions.

“I’ve been here before as a skip once and I’ve been on some other teams in provincials, including Stefanie’s, but have never seemed to be able to get to the top” Shumay told The Gazette. “It’s just an amazing time for us right now that we’ve made it and I’m so proud of (Kara, Taryn and Jinaye) and how we’ve been playing.”

It’s no secret to her past opponents that Shumay is an aggressive skip who favours throwing up guards and putting rocks in play. The strat-

egy worked well in Balgonie and there is no reason to think it won’t work in Kingston in a couple weeks time.

“I think we can really build our confidence (for the Scotties Tournament of Hearts). We beat some great teams like Amber, Stefanie and Trish so I think when we go (into the Scotties) a lot of the other teams won’t really know who we are.”

While travel plans are finalized and bags are packed over the next couple of weeks, one of the team members is possibly going to be sidelined for the big event. Johnston, who is also a cousin to Shumay, may be in the stands cheering on her teammates as she is expecting and, at 30-weeks pregnant, may not physically be able to compete.

According to Shumay, Patty Hersikorn has been added as the team’s alternate and will take Johnston’s place if needed. Team Saskatchewan has also added Saskatchewan Legends of Curling Honour Roll inductee Gene Friesen to the team as coach for the event.

Curling fans can follow Shumay on Twitter in the days leading up to and during the Scotties Tournament of Hearts at @jillshumay.

It wasn’t their best game of the season, but the Sask Valley Vipers still made it look easy.

The Vipers shut out the Estevan Bruins 3-0 in Bantam AA action last Saturday night at the Legends Centre in Warman, outshooting their southern opponents by a margin of 31-9.

Dayton Brown and Carson Albrecht each picked up a goal and an assist, while Scotty Stewart accounted for one goal and Clayton MacKenzie had two assists. Colby Haugen added one assist.

But it was the defensive effort that cemented the win for Sask Valley. Joel Gryzbowski played a solid game between the pipes for the Vipers – and even though he didn’t face many shots, he had to be sharp when called upon.

He also had help from his defensive corps. The Bruins weren’t able to manufacture a single shot on net in the third period, despite a parade to the penalty box for the Vipers.

Thanks to aggressive penalty killing, the ice was tilted heavily in favour of Sask Valley. Chance Adrian of Dalmeny, a key penalty killer for the Vipers, was named Player of the Game for his efforts.

“It was a sloppy game on our part,” said Adrian after the game. “We should have been better, but we still managed to pull out a win, so that’s good.

We’ll have to pick things up next week, though.”

The Grade 7 student from Dalmeny High School limped

off the ice after blocking a shot on the ankle during the third period, but said he’ll be fine to play in next weekend’s contest against Prince Albert.

Vipers coach Shaun Priel said while he’s happy with the win, the team needs to pick up its offensive game if it’s going to go anywhere when playoffs start in a few weeks. “It was not a great effort on our part,” said Priel. “Sometimes when you look at the record of the other team you think it should be an easy win, and I think that’s what happened tonight. The effort just wasn’t there.”

The coach said the team will be working on trying to manufacture more offence.

“We’ve had a lot of trouble scoring goals this year,” he said.

“Defensively we’re playing well enough to win, but when you go up against those higher-end teams, you have to be able to put the puck in the net.”

Priel said he’s glad there will be a stronger opponent next week. “Prince Albert plays rough, tough hockey,” he said. “There’s only five weeks till playoffs, and we want the kids to be firing on all eight cylinders, not just two cylinders, in time for playoffs. We want to get the intensity level up to where it needs to be.”

The Vipers were bounced in the second round of playoffs last year, and Priel said the six kids on the team who are veterans from last year’s post-season campaign have learned from that experience.

“They know what it takes to compete, and they’re anxious to make this year count,” he said.

Sask Valley Vipers forward Dayton Brown scores the first goal of the game, sliding the puck under the outstretched stick of Estevan Bruins goaltender Cameron Lavoie

Chiefs drop 3-1 decision to Thunder

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

It all boiled down to which team was able to capitalize when it counted.

The Delisle Chiefs dropped a 3-1 decision to the Tri-Town Thunder last Sunday in Delisle.

The Thunder grabbed a big chunk of momentum at the tail end of the first period when Tyrell Pompu poked the puck past Chiefs goaltender Lukas MacDonald with less than one second left on the clock. Both teams battled through a scoreless second period, with end-toend action but few quality scoring chances.

The Chiefs tied things up midway through the final frame on a goal by Kynan Tarnowski, but the cheering had barely died down before the Thunder’s Derrick Schwartz put the visitors ahead for good less than a minute later.

After that came the penalty trouble. The Chiefs played shorthanded – sometimes two men short – for the last 8 minutes of the game. Matt Sefton of the Thunder capitalized on the advantage with a power play marker late in the game.

The parade of blue-andgold jerseys to the penalty box was punctuated by others who were sent to the showers early.

It wasn’t clear what the Chiefs players’ comments were that earned the misconduct penal-

ties, but they probably weren’t about the weather.

“It was a tough one,” conceded Chiefs coach Dave Norris after the game. “I’m not sure they really deserved what they got, but in the same breath, the guys have to learn to keep quiet and suck it up and kill the penalty and move on.”

Norris said the uncharacteristic meltdown in the final minutes of the third period was a mistake, and the team would learn from it.

“Nobody plays perfect hockey all season long,” he said. “We made some mistakes, but we won’t make those mistakes again.”

The win allowed the 4th place Thunder to gain ground

on the 3rd place Chiefs in the Prairie Junior Hockey League standings. Only three points separate the teams.

The previous weekend, the Chiefs beat the Royals 4-3 in an overtime shootout on Saturday, January 19, and lost 4-3 to the Thunder on January 20, again in an overtime shootout.

The Chiefs took on the 1st place Saskatoon Royals at Harold Latrace Arena in Saskatoon on Tuesday, January 29 following the Gazette press deadline.

The Chiefs’ next home games are February 2 against the cellar-dwelling Prince Albert Ice Hawks at 7:30 p.m.; and February 3 at 1:00 p.m. when the 2nd place Saskatoon Quakers come to town.

Thirty-two teams from across Western Canada and the USA competed in the tournament. The team played six games over the three days and it proved to be an exciting tournament as the Jaguars defeated the Moose Jaw Warriors in overtime to earn the D side championship. In the championship game the Jaguars trailed the Warriors 2-1. With 60 seconds remaining the Jaguars called a time out and took advantage of a late penalty against the Warriors. With the Jaguars net empty, and the

Fury edged by Prairie Outlaws

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca

halfway through the third period, but the team was still sitting in a deficit. With Dalmeny still down 5-3, they pulled their goalie for the last minute of play and Cory Harder scored with seven seconds left.

A somewhat frustrated Chappell said, “We had chances there where we should have scored but we missed the net.

We get the puck into the slot

The Dalmeny Fury spotted the Prairie Outlaws a two-goal head start right out of the gate last Friday. And, despite their best efforts to climb out of the early hole, the Fury couldn’t quite get it done as the Outlaws posted a 5-4 win.

“In the first period they got a couple of goals where we missed assignments and we were down two nothing right off the bat,” said Fury Coach Clayton Chappell. “So we needed to claw back.”

In the second period the Fury missed a golden opportunity to score.

“We had a chance to go up with a five on three, but their goalie played really well and we came up empty again. The momentum switches weren’t there for us,” said Chappell.

But once the first penalty expired, Joel Cardinal-Schultz scored for the Fury on the subsequent five on four power play.

In the third period the Fury started kickin’ it. “We had the momentum and we were playing in their end a lot of the time,” said Chappell.

“But we would lose the handle on the puck, and they would just come out on a three on two or a three on three with the lead guy and it just seemed like they had the answer for every time we had a loose puck. So, you start losing the battles for loose pucks that’s what happens, it can turn around on you.”

Justin D’Entremont RS30935.A28 Rob scored Clarks

and we get a good opportunity and then we just don’t seem to bury it.”

Shots on net were pretty even – 38-34 in favour of the Fury. “Our goalie played well,” said Chappell. “There were situations where he came up with some big saves and kept us in the game. We just couldn’t capitalize on our chances.”
