Fortune Minerals gets approval for northern mine, mill project Environmental impact of proposed $230 million refinery near Langham still under review

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Fortune Minerals has been given the green light for its NICO mine and mill complex in the Northwest Territories.,

The Mackenzie Valley Review Board has recommended approval of a proposed mine and “concentrator” to extract gold, cobalt, copper and bismuth from a rich deposit in the Northwest Territories about 160 kilometers north of Yellowknife.

The recommendation was based on an environmental assessment prepared by Fortune Minerals, which started in 2009. The Review Board’s recommendation to proceed with the project was revealed in late January.

The mine and mill operatoin in the Northwest Territories is part of an overall project that also involves a proposed $230 million hydrometallurgical plant in the RM of Corman Park near Langham, officially dubbed the Saskatoon Metals Processing Plant (SMPP).

The concentrated minerals extracted from the northern mine would be shipped by rail and truck to Langham, where the SMPP would process them into high-value metal products.

Environmental approval of the northern mine was necessary before the Saskatchewan refinery could proceed.

The MacKenzie Valley Review Board concluded that a

full environmental review of the NICO project was not necessary, based on the findings submitted by the company.

The Review Board report stated that “while the NICO project has the potential to cause significant adverse impacts on the environment, the measures the Review Board has recommended will ensure that no signifiant adverse impacts will result from the development.”

The review board requested several measures including a Wildlife Habitat Protection Plan, a Wildlife Effects Monitoring Program, and a socioeconomic agreement with the Government of the Northwest Territories.

Fortune Minerals’ Director of Regulatory and Environmental Affairs, Dr. Richard Schryer, stated in a company press release dated January 25 that the MacKenzie Valley Environmental Review Board’s recommendation for approval was a “landmark decision.”

“We have successfully demonstrated to the Review Board that the NICO project can be constructed, operated and decommissioned without significant impact to the surrounding environment,” said Schryer.

The northern mine is estimated to have a lifespan of about 20 years, with deposit reserves of roughly 1.1 million ounces of gold, 82 million pounds of cobalt, 102 million pounds of bismuth and 27 million pounds of copper. The company says it will produce roughly 4,650 tonnes of ore per day, which will then be concentrated to about 180 tonnes.

The concentrate will then be trucked to Hay River, where it will be shipped by rail to the Langham refinery,.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Fortune Minerals is now awaiting a recommendation from the Saskatchewan Environment Ministry on whether the proposed SMPP refinery,

which would occupy a 482-acre parcel of land east of Langham, will be approved.

Plans for the proposed refinery were unveiled in 2010, and an open house was held in Dalmeny to outline the operation and proposed environmental protection measures. The Saskatchewan project was referred to environmental assessment in 2010 and the company filed its Environmental Impact Statement in 2011.

But while the SMPP is expected to employ an estimated 85 skilled workers over its 20-year lifespan, there is also some opposition to the project by people in the area, who fear the waste material generated by the refinery may contaminate the groundwater.

The Dalmeny Aquifer, a large underground rock formation where groundwater is stored, is situated directly beneath the proposed refinery.

Critics of the project say heavy metals leeching into the subsoil may work their way downward, and over time contaminate this large aquifer.

The Dalmeny Aquifer is an important source of fresh water for many residents of the immediate area, and any contamination could potentially spread by underground water flows to other areas.

Joint development appeals board launched

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The City of Warman has signed on to the newly-created North Corman District Development Appeals Board.

Warman City Council adopted a resolution at its regular meeting on Monday, January 28 endorsing the creation of the joint development appeals board.

Other partners include the City of Martensville, towns of Osler, Dalmeny and Langham, as well as the RM of Corman Park. Resolutions were adopted by all municipalities endorsing the creation of the board.

In the past, each jurisdiction has relied on its own development appeals board to

adjudicate property assessment appeals within its own municipal boundaries. The new joint board will handle appeals from all the municipalities.

MEMBERS SOUGHT The newly-created board is now seeking members. A call for applications has been issued.

An advertisement issued jointly by the municipalities invites residents to “consider serving on the North Corman District Development Appeals Board to fill current vacancies for each member municipality.”

Interested citizens are invited to submit an application form, together with a resume

Restaurant & Lounge Thursday, February 14 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23

Buffet rin tu g

and two letters of reference to any of the municipal offices.

The deadline for applications is Thursday, February 28. Application forms are available online at www.rmcormanpark. ca.

The term of office varies from one to three years initially. After the end of the initial term, the term of office will be three years. The staggered elections will ensure continuity on the board.

The board will adjudicate appeals regarding minor variances, holding provisions, demolition control districts, architectural control districts, and other conditions of a Zoning Order issued on a property.

Martensville resident hits $100,000 lottery win Dianne Wood might say that she’s got a couple extra dollars in her “moneybag” these days. Thanks to a lucky Crossword Moneybag Tripler ticket, she’s now $100,000 richer.

located on Russell Road in Saskatoon. The Martensville resident didn’t get to finish, however, and forgot about it until later on that day. When she resumed scratching at home, she started to realize she was uncovering a lot of words.

“I remember thinking to myself, ‘I must have made a mistake,’” she said. So she checked her call letters and the words, and then again, and again. Finally she decided to take it to the store to check. “At this point, I wasn’t too excited because I still thought it wasn’t real!”

When she scanned her ticket on the Ticket Checker, $100,000 displayed on the screen! “I finally got excited,” she said. But she waited until her family was all together that night before she told anyone. “I said, ‘I’ve got some news!’” she said with a laugh. “Everyone was so excited. I’m still in awe and can’t really believe it yet,” she said about her win.

Dianne plans to look into buying a new vehicle and maybe enjoy a trip to Hawaii with her winnings.

There were a few tense hours just south of the intersection of Powerline Road and Neuhorst Road, just west of Osler, on Monday afternoon. Crews transporting the Paynton Ferry from its home northwest of the Battlefords were forced to try and right the ship after the flatbed trailer it was on wound up partially in the ditch. The incident unfolded at about 4:00 p.m. and

after several failed attempts with various pieces of heavy machinery, the transport truck and ferry were eventually back on the road to the maintenance shop near Osler at approximately 10:00 p.m. Personnel from the Broda Group of Companies, which are working on the new Highway 305 link north of Warman, assisted in getting the ferry out of the ditch. The road was blocked to north and southbound traffic the entire time.

Construction equipment began major earthwork operations on January 7, and will likely continue as long as possible while the ground remains frozen, said Rob Bushman, Acting Director of Design and Construction with the provincial Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure.

In an interview Monday, February 4, Bushman said construction of the new route for the highway - which intersects with Highway 11 north of Warman - has progressed about 3 kilometers so far.

The 18.23 kilometer project, which includes 9.83 kilometers of new roadway along the new route, also sets out improvements to portions of the existing Highway 305 near Highway 12 north of Martensville, as well as up-

grades to Range Road 3053 on Martensville’s eastern edge.

Bushman said the contractors are removing earth to about 600 millimeters below where the final road grade will be.

“The earthwork is being done now because it’s easier to move the dirt while the surface is still frozen,” confirmed Bushman. “In the spring it will be much more difficult. This is a relatively low-lying area and there may be a lot of water lying around.”

Once things dry up in the spring the contractor will put on additional earth, followed by the sub-base, base and asphalt.

Bushman confirmed the contractor has been doing some crushing of gravel and hauling material to a stockpile near the highway.

“They’ve also been getting some ditches in place so hopefully it will drain better,” said Bushman. “At this point it’s hard to predict if there will be flooding. It depends on a lot of factors.”

The overall project has a completion date of June, 2014, but the pace of construction and the actual end date is largely in the hands of the contractor, said Bushman.

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

“The schedule is up to the contractor,” said Bushman. “They are working 24 hours a day right now because they want to get as far ahead of the curve as they can. By continuing to dig, they are always exposing fresh dirt that’s not frozen, and that allows them to continue working through the winter regardless of the temperature.”

The beginning of construction of the realigned Highway 305 is good news for the City of Warman, says Mayor Sheryl Spence.

She noted the new Warman StoneGate regional shopping centre, at the intersection of Centennial Drive (Neuhorst Road) and the new Highway 305 is slated to be developed in early 2014, and the new highway is a critical component of that development.

BABY OH BABY! Provincial birth rate highest in 21 years The number of live births registered in Saskatchewan in 2012 has cracked the 15,000 mark for the first time in nearly a generation. To date, a total of 15,035 live births have been registered in the province, compared to 14,577 in 2011.

“We haven’t seen a figure this high since 1991,” Minister responsible for Information Services Corporation Don McMorris said. “People are coming to Saskatchewan for the opportunities that exist here and thanks in part to a rising birth count, our population has never been high-

er.”

The most popular name for baby girls born in 2012 was Emma. It’s the fourth year in a row that Emma took the top spot. The most popular name for baby boys born in 2012 was Liam, making it the number one name for boys for the third year in a row.

Olivia and Ava were the second and third most popular names for baby girls in 2012, while Ethan and Carter were the second and third most popular names for baby boys in 2012.

Fisher

Elizabeth re-entered the top 20 list for the first time since 2010, taking the number 12 spot.

Aubree/Aubrey (17), Brielle (19), Harper (20) and Amelia (20) all made it to the top 20 for the first time on record. Addison re-entered the top 20 list of baby girl names for the first time since 2009.

Mya, Leah, Taylor and Sadie all fell from the top 20.

For baby boy names, Owen took the number 10 spot after falling out of the top 20 last year. Benjamin (10) and Jack (14) also returned to the top 20

in 2012. Three names made the top 20 list for the first time on record: Dominic (15), Blake (18) and Bentley (20). Aiden, a name that has been popular for more than a decade, returned to the top 20 in 2012. Cole, James, Chase, Matthew, Hayden, Joshua and Caleb all dropped out of the top 20.

Information is compiled and published each year by ISC, which administers the province’s Vital Statistics Registry, and does not include babies born outside the province to Saskatchewan mothers.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2013 A two-vehicle crash on Highway 11 near the Wanuskewin Road intersection on Monday morning, February 4, resulted in minor injuries to both drivers. The collision occurred about 9:30 a.m., less than a kilometer east of the busy intersection. The highway was extremely slippery at the time of the collision.

A paramedic with MD Ambulance checks out the interior of a car involved in a collision on Highway 11 just east of the Wanuskewin Road intersection on February 4. The driver of the car suffered minor injuires.

On January 29 at 7:00 p.m.

RCMP were called to a vehicle fire on Highway 7 near the junction with Highway 60, west of Saskatoon. Upon arrival police observed a tractor-trailer power unit on fire. Saskatoon Fire Dept. attended and extinguished the blaze. The semitruck was damaged extensively and had to be towed from the highway. The fire is believed to have been mechanical in nature and no charges were laid.

DISQUALIFIED DRIVER On January 31 at 12:00 a.m. RCMP received information that a suspended driver was operating his vehicle in the city of Warman. Officers made a patrol and located the vehicle and driver on Centennial Blvd. A 19-year-old male

RCMP received a complaint of a vehicle rollover approximately 1 kilometer north of Osler. When police arrived, they found a 2007 Saturn in the center ditch. Officers spoke to the 20-year-old driver from Saskatoon, and determined he was showing signs of alcohol impairment. The male was arrested and provided two samples of his breath. He was charged with Impaired Driving and Drive while Over .08.

The Warman Fire Department, Warman RCMP detachment, Saskatoon Fire and Protective Services and MD Ambulance responded to the collision. Southbound traffic on Highway 11 was completely stopped for about 45 minutes as police and emergency responders tended to the injured and conducted their investigation.

SEVERAL COLLISIONS The Highway 11 collision was just one of many that occured on area highways between 8 o’clock and 10 o’clock that morning, noted Lachance.

“We were pretty busy,” he

said. “There were a lot of rollovers and no shortage of vehicles in the ditch. In every single incident, it was because people were going too fast and not taking into account how slippery the roads were.”

Lachance said there was a rollover near Osler on Highway 11 involving a Ford Ranger half-ton truck.

Another rollover involving a Ford Ranger half-ton occurred on Highway 16 near the Dalmeny Grid.

A Honda Civic rolled on Highway 7 three kilometers east of Delisle.

There was a rear-end collision on Highway 12 south of Martensville which resulted in minor injuries to the drivers involved.

A vehicle went off the Highway 11 overpass at the north entrance to Warman and rolled, but there were no injuries in that incident.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2013 • PG. 6

Perhaps it’s only appropriate that hints of rising property taxes are the first hint that the Saskatchewan Party government may be sailing towards troubled waters.

The lowering of property taxes was really the first sign of good fortune for Premier Brad Wall’s government.

Of course, we should emphasize that Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter was only speculat-

Rising property taxes a bad omen

ing that the education proportion of property taxes is going up. That said, it would sure seem to be pretty solid speculation.

“There may be an increase and I don’t know to what level yet, but we’re going to mitigate it as much as we possibly can,” Reiter told reporters at the legislature.

To listen to Reiter talk, one might think that any such tax increase is simply a consequence of

Systemic aboriginal reserve reform ideas

By COLIN CRAIG

Canadian Taxpayers Association

Imagine if Canada could finally lift more aboriginal people out of poverty without the tired old “spend more money” approach.

Imagine if all it took was for you to sign a petition or speak to your Member of Parliament’s office.

Would you do it?

If you’re humming and hawing because you don’t think your voice counts, remember that the House of Commons just passed a bill to put all aboriginal chief and councilor pay details on the internet every year because people signed petitions and spoke out.

Now it’s time to focus on the bigger issue – the disastrous aboriginal reserve system that is contributing to the impoverishment of too many Canadians. You know, the system that has contributed to high unemployment rates, lower incomes and higher suicide rates to name a few woes?

Well, here are a few ideas the government should consider and discuss with Canadians if they are serious about helping aboriginal people.

First, Ottawa should take a bold step and start treating all Canadians the same. Yes, of course they must abide by the treaties, however Ottawa should stop subtly telling aboriginal people that they’re different all the time by coming up with special grants programs, special status in courts and other policies that segregate aboriginal people. Ottawa should also start a big discussion on getting rid of the archaic elements of the Indian Act; something an aboriginal Member of Parliament (Conservative MP Rob Clarke) is trying to push right now.

Second, it’s time to keep Ottawa’s fingers out of micro managing reserve land. They should set a goal of transferring ownership and control of reserve land to reserves themselves by the end of the year.

That would allow reserves to develop their land much more quickly.

The federal government has taken some positive steps in this area; it’s time for more.

Third, instead of continuing to pour millions into communities that are in remote and economically bleak areas, Ottawa should offer to help people in those communities transfer to where there are jobs and opportunities.

For band members wanting to leave to seek a better life, they should receive some assistance to go where there are jobs and better educational opportunities for their kids. For Ottawa, they’ll save money in the long run as people switch from being dependent on government to paying taxes; a win-win idea.

Fourth, we need more accountability. How could Ottawa’s bureaucracy allow the “hunger striking” chief’s community to be so reckless? Remember, the audit showed her community displayed “no evidence of due diligence.” The bureaucracy has some explaining to do and improvements are needed.

Fifth, Ottawa should try transferring money to the people on reserves directly, rather than to chiefs and councilors who sometimes abuse their power to decide who gets how much. At least in the short term, this idea would ensure the poor get the assistance intended for them. Band councils could then tax back an amount for their administration and services.

If you like any of the ideas above, know that they’re not going anywhere unless Canadians stand up and refuse to let these issues get swept under the rug or “fixed” with a larger government cheque.

Provincial Politics

Saskatchewan’s prosperity. Well, the kindest thing one can say is that it’s a little more complicated then that. If property taxes go up, it will really be because of the choices the Sask. Party government has made.

You see, 2013 is a property reassessment year in Saskatchewan - really, the first since the government eliminated the taxation authority of local school boards in 2009. It was a move that was heralded as a good thing by most everyone for a couple obvious reasons: First, nobody particularly liked paying taxes and having one less local government with the authority to impose taxation was a rather pleasing notion.

Second, it was accompanied by fulfillment of the Sask. Party government’s 2007 policy to reduce education property taxes by more than 80 per cent on farmland and nearly 30 per cent on residential

properties.

Many of you in rural Saskatchewan in particular will recall former premier Lorne Calvert repeatedly telling the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities that the status quo was not on.

Then, NDP governments would ignore tax relief come budget time.

Well, Wall’s government not only came through on the Sask.

Party promise, but also ensured that local school boards would simply not negate tax relief by applying their own local taxes.

But then along comes Reiter’s news that assessed home property value in Saskatchewan has increased 67 per cent in the past four years and the new mill rate may at least when it comes to the education portion of property tax bills - may need somewhat of an adjustment.

“The province is going to do what we can to get as close to revenue neutral as we can,” Reiter said.

“I can’t tell you that we’re going to eliminate that increase.”

The thing is, though, property tax reassessments in the past were revenue neutral. Sure, some people’s taxes would go up, but others would go down, reflecting a saw off for local governments that are le-

gally required to balance their budgets.

Now, Reiter is offering no such assurances that this year’s reassessment will be revenue-neutral.

In fact, he’s pretty much saying it won’t be.

The problem with what the minister had to say is blaming the need for tax increases on increased property value. That is a bit of a red herring.

Whether your house or your farmland is more or less valuable has nothing to do with the services you require. Both the costs of schools and municipalities may be rising during this time of economic growth, but that has nothing to do with the value of your property.

What does seem obvious, however, is that the Sask. Party is seizing on this assessment opportunity to make up for lost tax revenue.

Perhaps more revenue is necessary to deal with the province’s growth. But the government should at least say that.

Economic prosperity for both you and the province? Perhaps, but that’s not really what this reassessment tax hike is about.

This very much looks like a Sask. Party government scrambling to balance its next budget.

The longest-serving active

Off Duty After more than 4 decades, ‘Mr. Reliable’ is retiring from the Warman Fire Department

Firefighter of the Year, and at our Christmas party, each guy on the department went up and shook his hand and gave him a watch. So he ended up going home with twenty-some watches. At the next meeting, when we had our roundtable, Bill’s comment was: ‘I need batteries’.”

Braun said he feels relieved to finally be out of harness, but he’s not sure what he’ll do with his Wednesday nights now that he doesn’t have to attend weekly meetings and training sessions at the fire hall. “I’ll probably

still drop in once in a while,” he said with a grin.

‘BARNING’ MEMORIES Braun was born in 1932. He and his four brothers and three sisters were raised on a farm east of Warman near the South Saskatchewan River.

“I didn’t get much schooling,” Braun said. “It was two miles to the country school and in the spring and fall there was always a lot of work to do on the farm. So school always took a back seat to digging potatoes.”

In 1950, Braun’s family built a new

In May 2012, the Warman Fire Department did a controlled burn of a barn east of Warman (at left).

In 1950, Bill Braun helped build that barn (above) on the farm where he grew up.

Thursday, Feb. 14th

member of the Warman Fire Department is stepping down.

Bill Braun turns 81 next June, and he figures it’s about time he turned in his turn-out gear.

“I decided to pack it in,” said Braun. “I’ve slowed down in the last couple of years, and haven’t been as involved as I used to be.”

Braun first joined the Warman Volunteer Fire Department in 1968, and was considered a fixture at the fire hall. He officially resigned on Wednesday, January 16.

Two years ago, he made an attempt to retire, but the other firefighters refused to

By TERRY PUGH accept his lettpugh@ccgazette.ca ter of resignation. This time around, he figured out a way to make it stick.

He convinced his wife, Catharine, to write the letter for him.

“He threw a curve ball at us,” admitted Warman Fire Chief Gord Thompson. “He had Catharine write the letter on his behalf, and it’s darn hard to turn down a woman. We pretty much had to accept it and let him go, but it was hard.”

Thompson said Braun was one of the most reliable guys in the department. “Bill was one of those guys who is always around, doing all the little things that need to be done,” he said.

“He never went for the glory of anything and he never complained. He just pitched in and did his job. We could always count on Bill for taking care of the things that sometimes get overlooked.”

Thompson said Braun was a “fine example that age is not a barrier” when it comes to being a member of a volunteer fire department. “Bill made it his job to make sure that the trucks were all checked multiple times every day, especially after a call,” he said.

“He took care of the mail, the laundry, the recycling, the garbage. All that stuff. Plus, he’s a terrific carpenter and was always building shelves and fixing things at the fire hall.”

Despite his age, Braun was also an active member of the fire department, doing his share of the work. “Bill has a hearing disability, but he’s one of the best pump operators we ever had,” said Thompson. “The knowledge he carries inside his head is amazing.”

While Braun never aspired to become an officer in the department, he was promoted to Lieutenant a couple of years ago. “We took it upon ourselves as a department to make him an officer,” explained Thompson. “We wanted to show him the respect he deserves.”

Thompson said Braun has a quiet, dry sense of humour. “At our meetings, we’d always have a roundtable where everybody had an opportunity to say something,” related Thompson. “Bill would invariably say: ‘I’ve been around long enough I should get a watch.’ So that year, he was named

barn. It was a huge job, and one that almost ended in disaster.

“We were putting up the rafters, and we were about half done and Mom called us in for a meal. Our lunch break was always about 4 o’clock because we didn’t eat supper till after 8 o’clock, once the milking was done. So we came in the house, and we were standing looking out the kitchen window and all of a sudden the barn went down. A plow wind came through and took out all the rafters. We were lucky we got in the house just in time. So of course we had to clean up the mess and start all over again, but we were thankful we weren’t killed.”

In an ironic twist, Braun was part of the Warman Fire Department crew that burned that same barn down last summer during a training exercise. “I didn’t want to go,” said Braun.

“But they made me come and watch from inside the truck. I couldn’t do much else because I just had cataract surgery on my eyes two days earlier.

I hated to see it go up in flames, but the barn was rotten and ready to fall down, so I can understand why it had to go.”

Braun married Catharine Hein in 1956. She grew up at Clark’s Crossing, the small hamlet between Warman and Saskatoon. After they were married, the couple moved into a house on

her parents’ farm and helped with the dairy operation. It wasn’t long after they were married that a tragic accident occurred. A two-vehicle collision about a mile from their farm left four people dead – including a 22-year old pregnant woman who was one of Catharine’s closest friends. Bill Braun was one of the first people on the scene, and the carnage he witnessed still haunts him.

TRAGEDY STRIKES “I can’t forget it,” he said. “One day this car came driving fast into the yard. The driver was very agitated and he jumped out of the car and asked to use the phone. He said there was a bad accident about a mile up the road. But we couldn’t get through on our phone. So I quickly got in my car and followed him out to the scene of the accident. A car that had five people in it – two men, two women and a child – had slammed into a gravel truck at an intersection. I looked in the car and the driver, a man, was slumped over at the wheel, and there was blood everywhere. There was a woman and a little child in the front and they were both dead. There was a man and a woman in the back seat and the woman was having trouble breathing, so the two of us picked her up and laid her on the ground because we thought that would help her breathe better. Then we drove to a service station on the north end of Saskatoon where the phone was working and we called the ambulance.”

Two ambulances were eventually required to transport the victims to hospital. “They put the lady who was having trouble breathing on a stretcher and took her in,” he said. “She eventually died. Her jaw had been broken and the bone was blocking her air passageway. She was one of my wife’s best friends. They had grown up together.”

Braun said he asked the ambulance driver why they hadn’t checked out the driver. “He said they did check him. The driver was killed instantly from a broken neck.”

The driver of the gravel truck was not injured, and the man in the back seat of the car survived. But Braun said after that experience, he couldn’t bear to see the aftermath of a motor vehicle crash.

“When I joined the fire department, I told them I was more than willing to fight fires, but I didn’t want to do the medical training or have to be responsible for an MVA,” he said.

“They said that was okay. I don’t mind stopping traffic or helping out, but I can’t handle getting too close.”

OPEN CAB FIRE TRUCK Bill and Catharine Braun moved to Warman in 1960 and built the house where they still reside on Main Street.

“I bought the lot for 90 dollars,” said Braun. “It was a lot of money in those days because I was only making 95

Warman Night at Blades game rescheduled to February 22 Warman Night at the Blades game has been moved to Friday, February 22.

The event was originally slated for this Saturday, February 9.

However, a scheduling conflict resulted in the date change. This weekend’s event will focus on the 25th Anniversary of Credit Union Centre.

Sarah King, Economic Development Officer for the City of Warman, said the rescheduling will allow the City of Warman to be centre stage at

the Saskatoon Blades game.

There will be booths at Credit Union Centre providing infor-

mation on the City of Warman, as well as Warman-based businesses, community organizations and services.

Warman is one of the fastest-growing urban municalities in Canada, according to the most recent national census.

Tickets for Warman Night at the Blades are avaiable at the Blades office and through Ticketmaster. A special promotion to enable Warman students to attend the game is current underway.

cents an hour.”

“Warman was a pretty small place,” said Catharine Braun. “We were about the only house on the dusty, windy street. We had our own well because there was no waterline at that time.”

Braun joined the fire department in 1968, and vividly recalls the fire truck they had in those days. “It was an open cab with a portable water tank on the back,” he said. “I remember one bad fire in Martensville. It was the dead of winter and about 30 below. There was only room for two guys in the seat and it had no cab. Talk about cold. We were frozen stiff by the time we got there.”

He described another large fire on Warman’s south side that occurred prior to the municipal waterline being extended south of the tracks.

“We had to call on the Saskatoon Fire Department to come and help us with that one,” he said.

Braun said Jake Dyck was the Fire Chief at that time, and some of the firefighters included Elmer Boehr, John Doell and Abe Wall. “Jake Dyck was always around town because he had a hardware store,” said Braun. “Sometimes he was the only guy who could respond to calls. He once saved a small child who had fallen into a well. He rushed over and jumped in and lifted the child RS30941.B04 to safety. The well Rob was quite Clarks deep and Crossing the water

was up to his neck but he didn’t hesitate. He just jumped in.”

Braun said the equipment and training for firefighters has improved over the years, and noted that in the 1970s and 1980s, volunteer firefighters earned certificates after taking training at special three-day courses. “Now we do all the training right here,” he said.

FIREFIGHTING LEGACY Bill and Catharine Braun and their family have been a big part of Warman for decades.

The couple were the volunteer caretakers for the municipal cemetery and kept all the records of gravesites until that task was taken over by the town. Bill donated his labour to help build the Warman Diamond Arena in 1965, and he’s been named Citizen of the Year at least once.

One of the proudest moments of Bill and Catharine’s lives came in 2010, when their grandson, Joshua Braun, graduated as a firefighter and joined the City of Calgary Fire Department.

“He always wanted to be a firefighter,” said Bill Braun. “Ever since he was in Grade 10, and he helped extinguish a grassfire at Clark’s Crossing when he was working on a farm. We went to the fire and after it was out he asked if he could ride in the fire truck. From that moment on, he knew what he wanted to do with his life. We’re very proud of him.”

Pike Lake School choir among performers to appear at Telemiracle 37

The cold weather didn’t deter people from enjoying the Martensville Winter FunFest last weekend. The event raised $1,462.50 for Martensville KidSport, which gives children within the community the opportunity to participate in sports and recreation.

Students at Pike Lake School are getting pumped about being part of Telemiracle 37, scheduled for TCU Place in Saskatoon March 2 and 3.

After all, it’s not every day a choir from a small rural K-4 school gets to perform with an internationally-renowned musical legend.

Twenty-two students from Pike Lake School - virtually the entire student population - will be sharing the stage with Bob McGrath, the ageless star of the long-running children’s television show, Sesame Street. They’re scheduled to be on CTV sometime Sunday morning, March 3.

“The kids are starting to get pretty excited,” confirmed Pike Lake School Principal Claire Tarala in an interview January 23. “We were notified by the Telemiracle producers a couple of weeks ago, and they offered us the opportunity to sing with Bob McGrath.”

At first, most of the kids had no idea who Bob McGrath was. “We had to show them some episodes of Sesame Street,” said Tarala. “Then it clicked with them once they realized this guy was on TV. Now they’re really excited. But probably not as excited as their parents and grandparents.”

The school choir successfully audtiioned for Telemiracle last November at the suggestion of Terri Troupe-Logue, a Grade 1/2 teacher at Pike Lake School who is also Vice-President of the Saskatoon and District Kinettes Club.

“We thought it would be a good experience for the kids, and we were very surprised and pleased to get a call back saying the choir would be part of the show,” said Tarala. “The choir will be performing a song they did at our Remembrance Day service, so basically they’ve been practicing the song since last October. They’ve pretty well got it down pat now.”

In addition to singing, the choir will be presenting a cheque to the Telemiracle Foundation. “We’ve been fundraising at the school for quite a while,” said Tarala. “We did a craft sale, the kids are doing a pledge to raise money, and the teachers are also contributing money raised through their ‘casual

Ray Kneeland has been raising money for Telemiracle for 17 years Friday’ campaign.”

QUALITY OF LIFE While the youngsters will be sharing the spotlight during the Telemiracle show, there are also countless others donating time, energy and funds toward the cause.

Telemiracle funds go toward helping improve the quality of life and the independence of hundreds of people every year. Saskatchewan residents are able to access special needs equipment and medical assistance that wouldn’t otherwise be attainable. The funds are administered by the Kinsmen Telemiracle Foundation. In the past year, 579 applications for funding were granted for amounts ranging from $125 to $1,250,000.

COWBOY CASH Donations to the foundation come from individuals, organizations and corporations. While the Telemiracle weekend represents the big push, many people raise funds throughout the year in order to present their cheques to the foundation during the weekend television broadcast.

Ray Kneeland and his family, who operate a ranch called the OK Corral north of Martensville, have been donating money to Telemiracle for 17 years.

Microsoft telephone scam reported in Delisle CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5

Maymont. Officers arrived to find two vehicles in the ditch: a 2003 Mailbu, which was on its roof and a 2003 Cavalier.

The driver of the Cavalier, a 19 year old female from Manitoba, was charged with driving at a speed that is greater than reasonable and safe under the Traffic Safety Act. The Mailbu required towing.

NO LIGHTS, OVER .08 On February 2 at 1:15 a.m. officers stopped a 2011 Fiesta in Martensville for having no taillights on at night. Upon speaking with the driver, it was determined he was showing signs of alcohol impairment. The 29-year-old male from Martensville was arrested and transported for a breath test. He provided two samples near double the legal limit and was charged with Driving while Over .08.

TELEPHONE SCAM On January 28 at 6:15 p.m. a Delisle area resident reported that she had been contacted by telephone by an unknown person who advised that they were a representative of Microsoft and that her computer had a virus and that they wanted to help her. She granted the caller remote access and subsequently there was information downloaded from her computer to the unknown subject.

Police have advised the woman to get her computer serviced to eliminate viruses and any other software that would provide for remote access and to contact her bank and other institutions that she deals with over the Internet. This type of approach is an attempt at fraud or theft and is not the way Microsoft or other reputable computer companies operate. The public is cautioned against engaging in this type of contact and should not provide information or computer access to anyone over the phone whose identity they are unsure of.

BORDEN BREAK-IN On February 3 at 11:00 a.m. RCMP received a complaint the Co-op Grocery store in Borden was broken into.

Quantities of confectionary food items were taken. The matter is still under investigation and the Warman Detachment is asking for the public assistance with information.

MARTENSVILLE ASSAULT On January 29 at 12:00 a.m. RCMP were dispatched to a residence in Martensville after a female complainant reported she was assaulted by an unknown male at the front of her residence. The victim did not need medical attention.

Warman/Martensville Detachment are still investigating this matter.

HONESTY BEST POLICY On January 31, an unknown person dropped off three gold rings (one with a diamond setting) in the police mail box. A note with the rings indicated they were found at 4th Ave and Crenshaw Way in Warman. Police were able to determine the owner of the rings. Rings had been placed in a clear plastic bag to be taken in for repairs but lost near the local mailbox. The owner wishes to thank the honest person who turned them in.

FIGHT LEADS TO ARREST On Feburary 3 at 1:40 p.m.

RCMP received a report of two males fighting outside of a truck off Highway 16 on a gravel road, three miles from Saskatoon. Members attended and it was determined the males were related and had a consensual fight. However, one of vehicle occupants, a 34-yearold female, was arrested and later released for an outstanding warrant from Saskatoon Police Service. The two males were not arrested or charged.

Chiefs looking for consistent scoring punch

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

With only half a dozen games left in the regular season, the Delisle Chiefs are looking to get back on the winning track by the time playoffs start at the end of the month.

It was an up and down weekend for the Blue and Gold as they played their final home games of the regular season.

One day after laying a 9-2 spanking on the cellar-dwelling Prince Albert Ice Hawks on Saturday, February 2, the Chiefs were edged 3-2 by the Saskatoon Quakers on Sunday, February 3.

The toughest part about Sunday’s game was being outshot – and outplayed – by a team the Chiefs should be gaining ground on if they hope to build momentum for the post-season.

“We’re playing up to our potential sometimes, but we’re still a long way from where we need to be at this point,” confirmed Chiefs coach Dave Norris. “Right now we’ve got quite

a few key guys out of the lineup due to injuries, but if we can get them back, we’ll have more depth and consistency.”

The Chiefs led off the scoring in Sunday’s match-up with a power play goal by Victor Pernitsky with less than five minutes remaining in the opening period, but the lead didn’t’ last long as the Quakers’ Andrew Cribbs answered back 10 seconds later to tie things up. The Quakers added to their lead in the second with a shorthanded goal by Cody Schlosser. The Chiefs got into some serious penalty trouble late in the period, but managed to kill off a 5-on-3. A late goal by Josh Murray of the Chiefs with less than a minute and a half in the frame left the teams tied on the scoreboard at 2 – even though the Quakers held a 2-1 advantage in shots on goal.

Chris Sokolofsky got what turned out to be the winning goal for the Quakers when he beat Chiefs netminder Lukas MacDonald on a breakaway

at the five minute mark of the final period.

The difference in the game was the special teams’ effectiveness, said Norris. “I’m not sure why our power play wasn’t clicking,” he said.

“You have to give the Quakers credit, because they had a very aggressive penalty kill, and our guys TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE just weren’t doing Delisle Chiefs goalie Lukas MacDonald the little things keeps his eye on the puck while right.

T-Birds edge Fury in close-checking contest Bruno 3 @ Dalmeny 2

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca

The Dalmeny Fury were unable to generate the kind of perfect storm that would net them a win last Friday in their contest with the T-Birds from Bruno.

The game was pretty even until early into the third period when the T-Birds went up 3-2 which left the Fury fans with a long twenty minutes to

wonder if the team could even things up. Clearly they could have, but not this time. Even so, they made it interesting.

Fury coach Clayton Chappell reflected, “It’s so frustrating to watch these games and lose, I think it’s eight or nine games now, by one goal. When your team plays well and you come up short on the goals, it’s maddening for that long a stretch of time.”

The T-Birds were first to dent the score board, but half way through the first period

the teams were tied at 1-1 on a goal by Brody Foster. Before the end of the first, Justin Eden handed the Fury their only lead of the game on a breakaway goal; and its 2 – 1 for Dalmeny.

Early in the second, the TBirds scored on an empty net when Fury goalie of the night, Tynan Smysniuk was busy chasing the puck down beside the net.

The play started out clean and no penalties were called for the first half of the game.

13022MC00

Dalmeny had a power play opportunity and kept the action in the Bruno end of the ice, but couldn’t capitalize. However, they were able to kill three T-Bird power plays.

The Fury and the T-Birds were tied at two a piece going into the third period, but a minute in, Bruno sent the puck between the pipes. The Fury ramped up the action for the next nineteen minutes, hungry to tie things up.

“Our goalie made a big save against one of the dan-

gerous guys in the league and he kept us in the game. Otherwise it would have been 4 – 2,” noted Chappell.

With a minute left, they had a six on four and kept the Bruno goalie busy. But they couldn’t pull the trigger.

“We seem to figure out that when we need to push a little harder to tie a game, we play really well, and we get the other team on their heels, but we just don’t score goals,” said Chappell. He acknowledged that their penalty killing has improved, but said, “We just don’t capitalize on our chances. Our fans often go home shaking their heads just as

much as we are.”

Next up for the Fury is a three game play-off series with Wynyard in the provincials.

To beef up their team they’ve picked up three guys from Tisdale - including Robbie Holein - as well as Dan Llind from the Warman Wildcats.

With five Fury guys injured in a roster of eighteen, these borrowed players will fill some of the gaps.

Following the provincials Dalmeny will play Rosthern in a five game league playloff series. The Fury’s next home game is February 9 against Wynyard, at 8:30 p.m.

Martensville Curling Club set to host provincial Senior Women’s Championship

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Eight of the top senior women’s curling teams in the province are coming to Martensville later this month to compete for the Saskatchewan title.

The Martensville Curling Club is hosting the 2013 Affinity Credit Union Senior Women’s Provincial Chamionship February 20-24. The winner of the event earns the right to represent Saskatchewan in the Canadian Senior Curling Championships in Summerside, Prince Edward Island March 16-24.

“It’s a high-calibre event, and we’re proud to be hosting it,” said Lynn Remeshylo, President of the Martensville Curling Club and chair of the event planning committee.

“It’s an 8-team round robin format that features some of the best curlers in the province. If you’re looking to see some amazing curling, this is the place to be.”

The Senior Women’s category is open to women age 50 and over, explained Remeshylo. “There is also a Masters category for women age 60 and over.”

There is a series of four qualifying spiels leading up to the provincial Senior Women’s championship event, explained Remeshylo. “The qualifying spiels are hosted by various curling clubs throughout the season,” she said. “In each of these qualifying spiels, the A side winner and the B side winner earn their ticket to the provincial championship.”

In an interview January 30, Remeshylo said three of the four qualifying spiels had been played, with one more qualifier scheduled to take place in Davidson February 8-10.

She said that while two rinks normally qualify from each spiel, sometimes that varies. “A rink that already qualifies may decide to compete again in another qualifying spiel,” she explained. “If they win the A side or B side then that affects how many qualifiiers are determined at the following spiel.: There are three rinks that will qualify coming out of the Davidson spiel this weekend.

So far, five rinks have qualified, including: The Lorraine Arguin rink from Moose Jaw, made up of Skip Lorraine Arguin, Third Donda-Lee Dies, Second Shelley Urquhart, and Lead Aline Kirk; The Darlene Gillies rink from Unity, the defending 20112012 Provincial Senior Women’s Champions, includes Skip Darlene Gillies, Third Linda Kloschinsky, Second Wanda Heitt and Lead Tracy Heidt; The Delores Syrota Rink from Wadena, made up of Skip Delores Syrota, Third Bev Krasowski, Second Donna Ell, and Lead Sylvia Broad; The Merle Kopach rink from Saskatoon’s Granite Curling Club, which includes Skip Merle Kopach, Third Audrey Crosson, Second Linda Delver, and Lead Janet Rooks; The Jaqueline Swiderski rink from Prince Albert, comprised of Skip Jaqueline Swiderski,, Third Gail Anderson, Second Avis Halcro and Lead Iris Penner.

Remeshylo said at least two of the rinks will be competing in the Martensville Curling Club Ladies Bonspiel scheduled for February 8-10.

“They’re comitted to coming,” she said. “They want to practice on our ice.”

She said the club has hosted numerous provincial competitions in the past, and the

Borden Firefighters hosting prov. curling championship in Radisson

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Radisson Curling Rink is the venue for a provincial curling championship this weekend.

The Saskatchewan Firefighters Curling Association (SFFCA) is holding its 55th annual bonspiel February 8-10 in Radisson, according to Ian Wainwright, a firefighter in Borden and President of the (SFFCA).

The Borden Fire Department is sponsoring the bonspiel, with the help of volunteers in Borden, Langham and Radisson.

“We have 9 rinks registered in the event so far,” said Wainwright in a phone interview January 30. “We’re anticipating a few more rinks to enter. But regardless of how many we get, it will be a great event.”

Wainwright said the opening draw is set to begin on Friday morning, February 8,

with the opening ceremonies tentatively scheduled for that morning as well.

The bonspiel was originally scheduled to be held in the Langham Curling Rink, since Borden does not have its own facility. However, the Langham rink was closed down in early January because of safety concerns following the discovery of a major crack in one of the rafters of the building.

Alternate arrangements were worked out with the Radisson Curling Club to host the event.

Wainwright said all the teams entering the tournamnet are comprised of either active or retired firefighters from across the province.

While some rinks will be made up of curlers from a single community, others draw from several centres.

The winner of this bonspiel earns the right to represent Saskatchewan at the national firefighters curling championships in March.

The provincial bonspiel opening ceremony features a parade of athletes led by a bagpiper. Each rink will be accompanied by a student who will be carrying a sign to show where the team is from.

Wainwright said spectators are encouraged to come and watch the event.

“It’s all free,” he said.

“There is no admission charge, and you’re going to see some terrific curling. You get a great view in a smaller buidling like this.”

feedback from competitors has been positive.

Remeshylo said there are two aspects of the sport of curling - -tradition and sportsmanship - that will be centre stage at the event.

“We’ll have opening ceremonies on Wednesday, February 20 at 1:30 p.m.,” she said.

“We’re involving our junior curlers. They will be carrying placards for each team as they march onto the ice before the ceremonial first rock is thrown. We’ll also have the

traditional music. Hopefully we’ll be able to have a bagpiper marching at the head of the procession.”

There will be two head officials from Curling Saskatchewan at the event, with the rest of the on-ice officials recruited from the ranks of the local curling club.

Remeshylo said all 8 rinks will be on the ice for the two draws per day, and the club is encouraging spectators to come and watch. There is no admission fee.

Councillor Gord Gunoff said, “I think you guys are fantastic.”

Councillor David Fox said, “I welcome this proposal. We will be receiving more proposals, and this is a good start.”

Council will discuss the matter further in committee along with considerations regarding resident and non-resident use of the landfill and possible charges for dumping household garbage.

“Last year we raised $28,450.” said Kneeland in an interview January 22. “So far this year we’re up to about $33,000, and there’s still a few weeks to go, We should be able to bring in another few thousand with the sale of tickets, and also pledges from businesses in Martensville, Warman and Osler.”

On February 23, Kneeland is hosting a 3-on-3 outdoor hockey tournament in the corral on his ranch as a fundraiser for Telemiracle. Teams can enter by calling 933-1018 or 2301781.

Kneeland said he raises the funds because he believes in the cause, and “I just like to sell tickets.”

He said it’s getting harder these days to get cash donations, because most people rely on debit cards, and they simply don’t carry money around.

But the old-school cowboy, who still shoes horses and whose idol is Wyatt Earp, said he’s determined to get a smart phone that has an app for direct debit.

It may not do much for his image, but he figures it’s worth it. “As long as I can plug the machine and sell tickets, I’ll be happy,” he said with a grin.
