The Town of Osler may expand its boundaries to the west in the next few years if the current pace of growth continues. Jim Walters, a planner with the consulting engineering firm of Crosby Hanna, told a large crowd at the Osler Information Meeting on Monday, March 18 that the town’s Official Community Plan (OCP) is currently being updated. “Over the last year, there has been a fairly significant upate of the OCP,” said Walters. “It’s not implemented yet. It’s simply in the draft stage. We’re currently talking to local landowners and working around the town council table.” Walters said there are a number of changes being proposed to the community’s long-term growth plan – the most significant being a shift to expanding the boundaries to the west – across the Carlton Trail Railway line. “The pace of growth in this region requires communities to plan further ahead than we thought we’d have to five years ago,” said Walters, whose firm has been working closely with the Osler town council and administration for the past nine years. “Urban centres in this region now have to look at planning up to 50 years ahead.”

ervoirs and “local community food nodes” that highlight small-scale agricultural operations like greenhouses, farmers markets and local cheese production facilities. “The existing Hanging Gardens greenhouse operation on VCA Road is a great starting point for that kind of development,” said Walters. “The idea is to promote local food production and proessing and encourage small-scale enterprises that brings the buyer and seller together.” The new OCP and zoning bylaws are open to the public for feedback, said Walters. “We encourage everyone to let us know what you think,” he said. “We want you to be comfortable with the future direction for the town and the surrounding area.”

Walters said the town is “identifying lands and areas for urban growth” around the current boundaries. The most promising area for residential expansion is to the west, he said. “There is also some room for commercial and industrial development in a strip along the east side of Highway 11,” said Walters. “But that would depend on extending the services from the town across the highway and the dollars would have to make sense before that happened.” The current boundaries of Osler include the town’s developed area as well as a still-vacant quarter section of land south of Valley Christian Academy Road. A development proposal for that land on the southern edge of town has so far failed to come to fruition, despite several years of discussion between the town and the potential developer. The parcel of land still has strong potential for residential lots, according to Walters. Meanwhile, there is also room for residential acreages to the north and northwest of the town. Walters said the proposed OCP contains some innovative measures that are currently being adopted in many urban municipalities across Canada. These include walking trails that border water res-

Corman Park concerned about potential for major flooding By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca
Alleviating potential problems related to spring flooding is a high priority for the RM of Corman Park. The RM administration outlined some preventative plans at the Council meeting on Monday, March 18. A letter sent to ratepayers in late February “laid out what the landowner’s responsibilities are and what our responsibilities are as the RM and the responsibilities that the Water Security Agency has in terms of flooding,” said acting administrator Adam Tittemore. While it cannot do anything on private land, administration encouraged residents to contact the RM if there were infrastructure issues that need upgrading such as blocked culverts and ditches that need to be cleared. “We’re making sure that we’re doing as much preventative maintenance as we can,” said Tittemore. The public works department has set up a “Contact Us” form on the RM website which will allow ratepayers to send in their inquiries.
“Any requests that we are receiving, we know that it’s on a list and we have people checking it constantly to make sure that we are addressing those sorts of things,” said Tittemore. A map from the Water Security Agency was distributed, revealing that potential runoff estimates are “Well Above Normal” for large land masses surrounding the two major urban centres in the province, and “Very High” in an area between Saskatoon and Prince Albert (as well as a southern area) which means that flooding is likely. Reeve Judy Harwood returned from a morning flood security meeting to join council after lunch. She reported that “the measure of moisture in the snow is double to what it was in March 2011.” Tittemore added that the RM has been gathering a list of contractors in various areas who are able to respond fairly quickly to arising needs. “The RM will notify the public of road closures and the RM website will be the best, most current source of information,” he said.
FORTUNE MINERALS
Councilors were not reas-
sured when took their concerns about Fortune Minerals’ proposed Saskatchewan Metal Processing Plant (SMPP) to the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) annual convention earlier this month. The Langham area location for the SMPP falls within Division 7, which is Councillor Joanne Janzen’s purview. “I posed two questions to Premier Brad Wall,” stated Janzen. “One, how far along in the environmental assessment review process is Fortune Minerals and, two, would the province bypass or overrule anything concerning the RM.” Councilor Wendy Trask said the premier’s answers “really disturbed me.” According to Trask, “Mr. Brad Wall said that the government worked long and hard to bring this company to Saskatchewan. And then I believe it was Mr. Cheveldayoff who said this project passed environmental study and there was absolutely not a thing to worry about.” Janzen added that she was “not comforted” by what she heard and that her second question was just “danced around.” The proposed location for
the SMPP sits directly over the Dalmeny Aquifer. Janzen indicated there’s plenty of concern about the situation among area residents and wondered, “If it’s deemed to be in the province’s good, who has the trump card? To mortgage future generations’ water supply is something that’s going to be difficult to live with, literally.” “I really admired the presentation that Joanne made at the SARM convention,” said councilor David Fox, adding that Janzen “put the issue squarely on the table.” Trask made a motion, which passed unanimously, to send copies of every letter received from concerned ratepayers to date – as well as future letters – to premier Brad Wall and all cabinet members.

It’s David vs. Goliath it seems. Clearing hundreds of kilometers of snow-clogged roads in the RM of Corman Park is a big challenge, but public works crews are working around the clock to get the job done, says Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood. In an interview Friday, March 22, Harwood said the hard-packed snowdrifts created by winds that gusted up to 60 and 70 kilometers an hour last week made hundreds of kilometers of road throughout the rural municipality impassible. Many of those roads were so plugged that regular snowplows weren’t strong enough to get through. “In several cases, the graders weren’t able to handle it,” said
Harwood. “We had to bring in a bulldozer. It’s been a tough couple of days. Snowdrifts 14 feet high aren’t unusual.” The RM has roughly 1,450 km (900 miles) of roads. At least half those are secondary roads in isolated areas, noted Harwood. “It’s a big responsibility and the public works staff are working very hard to keep those roads open so people can get to work and back home,” she explained. “They also need to be able to access emergency medical care and necessary supplies. We’re asking people to be patient. We’ll get the roads open as quickly as possible.” Harwood said while the snow is a big concern right now, the bigger challenge in the coming weeks is keeping roads open once the snowpack starts to melt.
“We are expecting some flooding,” she confirmed. “It’s not just here in Corman Park. It’s province-wide to a greater or lesser extent. The provincial Water Security Agency has indicated that this year’s snowpack has roughly double the moisture content of the 2011 snowpack – and that was a bad year for flooding – so this one could be worse.” She said in 2011, the RM undertook a concerted effort to clear ditches of snow as a way of encouraging melt-water flow. Culverts were opened using steam pressure. This year, however, the RM’s resources are strapped because of the need to keep roads clear of snow. “Cleaning the ditches is a bit of a dream right now,” she said. “We will hopefully be able to do that at some point in the near future. We are trying to be pro-

active.” Harwood said landowners should also be doing all they can to protect their homes and property. The RM sent out a newsletter to all residents outlining steps to be taken to prevent flooding as well as a list of businesses where pumps, sandbags and other necessities can be obtained. The phone number for the Water Security Agency is also listed. The information is also posted on the RM’s website. Harwood said a list of roads that are closed due to flooding will be posted daily on the RM’s website once the spring runoff begins. “There is no doubt we will have to cut roads again this spring in some instances,” she said. “It won’t be a great situation, but we will have to all pull together to get through this.”

Members of the Martensville Fire Department assisted CBS in staging the mobile clinic. Pat Young of CBS says the clinic collected 57 units of blood. A total of 61 donors attended. “It wasn’t a bad turnout considering the weather,” said Young. “The clinic was well booked ahead of time but, of course, the weather conditions were terrible that evening and that changes everything.”
Boil water advisory lifted A Boil Water Advisory issued last week has been lifted for the City of Warman, the towns of Hague, Hepburn and Dalmeny as well as rural residents serviced by the InterValley Water Inc. rural water utility pipeline. The Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (SWSA) cancelled the advisory on Friday, March 22 at 1:00 p.m. A notice posted on the City of Warman website indicated that clearance was given by the provincial agency for residents to drink tap water once again. The Boil Water Advisory had been in place since March 19. “All necessary bacteriolog-
ical samples have been taken, and have come back with good results,” a notice by the SWSA stated. “No positive bacteria were found in the two sets of samples. All repair work has been completed on the SaskWater Saskatoon North Treated Supply Pipeline System and the proper measures taken to put the SaskWater North Treated Pipeline distribution system back into service. “In consultation with the Saskatoon Health Region, we agree no potential health risk currently exists for the City of Warman distribution system and the advisory previously issued is hereby removed.”

RM moving toward more country residential subdivisions By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
There will likely be more country residential acreages in the RM of Corman Park as early as this fall if proposed amendments to the RM’s Official Community Plan (OCP) are adopted. A series of three open house meetings were held last week on the proposed amendments, which would increase the number of single-parcel residential building sites permitted per quarter section (160 acres) within the RM of Corman Park. Currently, a maximum of 2 single-parcel country residential building sites are permitted on a quarter section. The amendments would allow up to 4 small parcel sites (up to a combined maximum of 20 acres), plus the balance of the quartersection; or up to 2 small-parcel sites (with a combined total of 10 acres) plus the balance on an 80-acre parcel.
MAJORITY IN FAVOUR
The open house at the South Corman Park School on Tuesday, March 20 attracted approximately 100 people. There were about 50 people at the open house in Osler on Wednesday, March 20, and roughly 25 at the one in Langham on Thursday, March 21. Most of the landowners who came to the meetings were in favour of the amendments, according to Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood. “The majority of people are saying that development is a good thing,” said Harwood in an interview on Friday, March 22. “There is some concern about where the development will happen and how that might affect agricultural operations, but overall there’s a strong push for opening things up for more country residential subdivisions.” The RM of Corman Park is also soliciting feedback by means of an online web survey, which can be accessed through the RM’s website at www.rm-

Councilor Wendy Trask outlines how multi-parcels per quarter could be broken down, in preparation for RM open houses to be held March 19, 20 and 21 cormanpark.ca . The survey closes Sunday, March 31. Harwood said the biggest advantage to the RM is the boost to the residential tax base. She noted that the pace of development has been lower than in neighbouring RMs. “We’re currently sitting at a little over 1 percent growth annually,” she said. “Other RMs are way past that. So that tells me we’re not
providing what people are looking for.”
FLEXIBILITY NEEDED
Harwood said there needs to be more “flexibility” in the RM’s zoning bylaws and OCP. “It’s a balancing act,” she stated. “We need to have appropriate development in areas where it makes sense, but we also need to protect farmland and we

need to ensure houses don’t get built in flood-prone areas.” Harwood said while the proposed changes are usually referred to as allowing “4 per quarter” – the amendment would actually allow up to 5 or 6 residences on 160 acres, depending on how the land parcels are split. She said there is increasing pressure from landowners to allow more residential development. “This has been dangling out there for a while now,” she stated. “It hasn’t happened in the last five months. There were promises made by the previous administration of the RM, and some people thought there would be shovels in the ground this spring. But there is still a process we have to go through, and things won’t happen that fast. It will probably move forward, because the majority of people are in favour of it, but we still have to plan, and we still have to manage future growth in the best way possible.

RM wise to tread carefully in development debate By GLEN GRISMER
Corman Park resident and Professional Associate U of S Department of Geography and Planning
COMMENTARY
The idea of carving up the countryside into little parcels will not go away. Which proves that as long as you have enough misinformed or misguided people in support of something it might eventually come to be. Since I have a stubborn belief that most people want to make informed decisions and do what is best for all, I will try once again to inform this decision. I note, too, that the RM of Corman Park Council had an opportunity to have Dr. David Gilchrist, the Head of the Department of Economics at the University of Saskatchewan, whose expertise is municipal finance, do a study designed to answer the question of whether or not different uses, including small acreages in farm areas, would pay for themselves. The debate on whether to go ahead with the study ended with a councilor declaring, “I move we stay ignorant”. The motion was recorded differently. Having more houses on a quarter section of land (160 acres) seems like a good way to add tax base. Maybe so, but it also adds cost base, and over time the costs exceed the revenues. Hundreds of studies all over North America have concluded that scattered acreages do not pay for themselves. Unless there is evidence from qualified people who do valid research that Corman Park is different from everywhere else, I can only believe that the proposed four per quarter idea will be the financial ruin of Corman Park. Further, who will benefit, if anyone? The idea of having a couple of parcels to sell to help with retirement has always been a reason for two building sites per quarter. The people who have already benefited are those who are closest to the City of Saskatoon, where the parcels were convenient for “city folks” and the land value highest. Just when people further from the city are starting to see some benefit from two per quarter the policy will change to four and the beneficiaries will, once again, be the people who are closest to the city. I have never believed life to be fair and to these property owners I say “good for you” and hope you take the time to thank Council and any supporters living further out. What of agriculture? Regardless of the new “urban agriculture” trend, I am convinced that the majority of food will always be produced by farmers outside of the city. To do so for years to come it is important that Rural Municipalities base their policy significantly on the continuation of agriculture. The Corman Park Council has, for many years, spent almost no time considering the future of agriculture. Put one farmer on a section of land with, say, fifteen or sixteen “city folks” who vote, and just see how policy will change over the years. I’m betting that the policy trend won’t likely be in support of farming. A number of years ago I had a call from an acreage owner wondering about a bylaw to stop the harvest at 10 o’clock because the noise, lights, and dust were bothersome! Such is the future with four per quarter. Former Reeve Henry has noted that the percentage of growth in surrounding municipalities was far higher than in Corman Park because they had wide open residential subdivision and Corman Park was too restrictive. The problem with his analysis is that residential population growth is not a good measure of any growth other than residential population growth and, bluntly, who cares? When you add a few people to almost no one the percentage of growth can be huge while, at the same time, Corman Park added even more people. But because we already had a lot of people the percentage increase was smaller. At the same time, Corman Park’s industrial land use grew very rapidly and, just so everyone knows, industrial and commercial taxes subsidize residential development and I expect always will. Let’s all make sure we thank our industrial developers and operators for helping to make up for the tax deficit that will result from four per quarter, and just see how well industrial roads are maintained! Four per quarter is the worst kind of sprawl and I am sure their planners will have said so. Hundreds of studies have concluded that four per quarter will not pay. But don’t take my word for it. I challenge the Corman Park Council to go ahead with the proposed “Cost of Servicing” study and see with some certainty what the consequences of their actions will be. Some people might prefer to “stay ignorant” but I, for one, would like to see council make informed, not opinionated, decisions on matters of this significance.

Budget not the best or worst for rural Saskatchewan
Rural Saskatchewan has certainly seen better budgets. But it has also seen worse. Let us examine today how rural Saskatchewan specifically did in the 2013-14 budget, presented last week by Finance Minister Ken Krawetz.
MURRAY MANDRYK
Provincial Politics
Any such examination should still begin with agriculture, where the Saskatchewan Party government is providing a record $198.3 million for crop insurance. That said, a $52.5-million decrease in the commitment to the AgriStability Fund – along with $10.2-million less for AgriInvest – connotes a major shift away from enhanced payouts to deal with disasters in a year when some flooding seems a certainty. In fact, there are no specific dollars aside for flood relief anywhere in the budget – a potential problem, given its razorthin surplus. The government is also phas-
rural physicians. There will also be an additional $250,000 more for the Rural Family Physician Recruitment Incentive Program to encourage graduating doctors to locate to rural Saskatchewan. Further wisely spent health dollars include an additional $350,000 for expansion of the Alzheimer Society’s First Link program to add sites in North Battleford, Swift Current, Estevan and Prince Albert. Also, $70.6 million is being set aside for the government to make good on its commitment to co-owned long-term care facilities in Biggar, Kelvington, Kerrobert, Kipling, Maple Creek and Prince Albert. Meanwhile, there will be $15.9 million to fulfill commitments to regional health authorities to complete facilities in Radville, Redvers, Rosetown, Shellbrook and Tisdale. Additional spending for school and post-secondary education operating budgets may have been one of the bigger disappointments in a budget that needed to cater to a growing province. Nevertheless, Martensville, Leader and Hudson Bay will see previous commitments translate into $18.7 million in
funding while Langenburg and Gravelbourg will receive $1.9 million to begin planning new projects. There was also an additional $4 million for continued construction of the Southeast Regional College in Weyburn. Urban municipalities will benefit from the pre-budget announcement of 12 per cent more while rural municipalities will get an 8.5-per cent increase – all courtesy of the sharing of a percentage point of an increasingly lucrative provincial sales tax. There will be $6.6-million more for RCMP policing and other municipal policing grants will increase by $600,000. And in recognition that a fast-growing province means an increase in family problems, there will be $800,000 more for women’s shelters, including funding for a new shelter in Melfort – the first such new transition house in the province to be added since 1989. Overall, this austerity budget is offering less to rural Saskatchewan than it is has grown used to seeing at budget time. But rural Saskatchewan – and the province as a whole – have seen far worse budgets.
Reader Opinions
Federal government barking up the wrong tree When I first heard of the plan for discontinuing the shelterbelt program I had the usual ‘has served its time, farming methods have changed’ response. However, like many rural folks, I was failing to see the forest for the trees. Unheralded in the press is the number of trees given to public institutions and spaces. As part of a school playground committee, we applied for and received hundreds of trees for a multi-row shelterbelt that has benefited the students and staff of Clavet Composite School since 1996 and will do so decades into the future. Likewise, a small historic rural cemetery and churchyard has been transformed to a sheltered, attractive area by PFRA trees.

ing out its support for ethanol initiatives in this budget. Spending on Saskatchewan highways will be down almost $30 million from last year – never great news for rural Saskatchewan. Nevertheless, there is the good news of a $63.8-million commitment to repave 280 kilometres of highway and another $63.8 million for the Regina West bypass, the Estevan bypass, passing lanes on Hwy. 10 and completion of Highway 11 twinning. Other highway projects worth noting include: upgrading Hwy. 22 from Southey to Earl Grey; upgrading of Hwy. 42 from Tuxford to Eyebrow; grading and paving of the Dalmeny access road, and; continuing work of the St. Louis Bridge. Proceeding with the previously announced new Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford may be the big item in rural health spending. However, rather than capital investments, it may be a further initiative hopefully providing more rural doctors that will emerge as the biggest health positive out of this budget. The Sask. Party government doubled its contribution to the locum pool to $3 million – support that will hopefully add 20

terial was close to 90 per cent, shipping and arrival was well coordinated and timely, nursing stock was in very good condition, preparation and planting instructions clear and complete. We were not able to water our shelterbelts and still the survival was terrific. Clearly, the PFRA Nursery’s methods of growing, harvesting and shipping trees has been excellent. I wish I could say the same for some shelterbelt material that I have ordered from commerical private nurseries in order to make our plantings more diverse. I would like
to see all Canadian students of horticulture be able to learn at this first-class institution. Why not make use of the existing facilities and excellent staff for hands-on training and research? We do not have many federally-supported institutions in Saskatchewan, certainly few that have been so important in conservation, horticultural/agriculture and rural development. I think the Shelterbelt Centre at Indian Head deserves a second life that will benefit all of Canada. Bonnie Lawrence Clavet-area resident

InterValley Water in good financial shape, looking to expand water sales By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
It’s been a good year for Intervalley Water Incorporated (IWI). The user-owned water pipeline utility, which serves rural residents north of Saskatoon in the RM of Corman Park, has stabilized its finances, expanded its membership base and refined its operational processes, according to Clark Brotzell, Chair of IWI. Brotzell told a gathering of members of the water utility on Friday, March 22 that IWI has “matured” over the past two and a half years. The utility has reduced costs and improved its cash flow by implementing electronic billing procedures and facilitating pre-authorized monthly payments by members. The utility’s board also renegotiated the interest rate on its operating loan, saving an estimated $14,500 annually in interest rates. “We have also upgraded the water meters used by high volume users,” said Brotzell. “This has improved our data
collection, and we’ve been able to identify the locations of water line system losses. Frankly, we’ve had some leaks, and because of the vagaries of the metering system, it’s been hard to figure out exactly where those leaks were and how much water we were losing. But now we know where they are and we’re dealing with it.” The health of the water utility, ironically, apparently led to a decline in interest among the membership. The meeting on March 22 was billed as the organization’s annual general meeting, but a sparse turnout resulted in a lack of quorum. The meeting went on as scheduled, but no resolutions or elections were held. Three new board members – Murray Grismer, Chris Kehrig and Mel Henry were subsequently appointed to the IWI Board by the current board – which also includes Brotzell, Geoff Booth, Anthony Nienhuis, Glenn Beatty and Ken Bysterveld. Retiring board members included Cam Merkle and Heather Green. Two board members, Robert Keet and Brent Byers, resigned midway through their terms.
Brotzell said negotiations are currently in progress with North Prairie Developments to bring the northern section of the Cathedral Bluffs country residential subdivision into the IWI water distribution system later this year. “This expansion will bring in 13 new members and 3 existing members who are waiting for water,” said Brotzell. “There will be a one-time connection fee of $40,000, and the entire capital cost will be borne by the developer. After it’s hooked up the ownership and operation will be transferred to IWI.” Brotzell said the increased water revenue will help IWI’s bottom line in the coming year. Among the priorities for the water utility will be a renewed focus on maintenance of the system, including replacement of markers indicating waterline crossings along the upgraded Dalmeny Road. He said the water utility is taking a serious look at getting water to “long-line members” who have been waiting for water since the utility began operations. Until now, it’s been difficult to calculate the cost of

InterValley Water Inc. treasurer Geoff Booth (second from right) outlines the utility’s financial statement while chair Clark Brotzell, board member Heather Green and IWI Office Administrator Heather Veitch field questions from members at a meeting on March 22 putting in new lines, said Brotzell, but now they are able to accurately figure out the cost of construction and distribution. The water utility’s financial position is much stronger this year, said Brotzell, prompting a decision by the board to rebate $500 per curb stop to members in good standing. The rebate is a partial payback to members who responded to the “cash call” by the utility a couple of years ago when IWI faced a serious cash crunch. Geoff Booth, treasurer of IWI and an elected board member, said the water utility is in a very strong financial position now, and there will not be any need to go back to the members
for another cash call. “We have a reserve fund of $151,000,” Booth said. “So if we have some unforeseen expenses in the future, we know we have the funds to cover that.” The water utility currently has 300 members that have curbstops through which water is being delivered. “We have a surplus of over $200,000 before general operating expenses,” Booth said. “We have a surplus on operations of $76,000, which is very good.” The cost of extending water to long-line members varies considerably depending on many factors, said Brotzell, noting the water utility is currently looking at 5 different proj-
ects. “The cost of putting in the pipeline can vary from $45 thousand per mile on the low end to upwards of $75,000 to $80,000 thousand per mile if you have to deal with a lot of rocks and boulders,” said Brotzell. Outgoing board member Cam Merkle said while the low turnout at the meeting was disappointing, it could also be interpreted as a vote of confidence in the current board’s management. “In one sense it’s encouraging that there aren’t a lot of people here. It means they’re assuming things are fine. It’s a vote of confidence.”
Prairie Spirit School Division sets out goals for coming year Survey to be distributed to teachers, staff and parents Submitted by
BRENDA ERICKSON
Prairie Spirit School Division
At its regular Board meeting on Monday, March 4, the Prairie Spirit Board of Education approved four strategic goals for the school division. The goals were determined and crafted at the Board’s strategic planning retreat in January and are based on the school division’s learning focus. The Board’s strategic goals focus on the following areas: High school completion and transition to career Goal: By June, 2016, 90% of all Prairie Spirit students beginning Grade 10 in September, 2013 will graduate. Numeracy Goal: By 2016, the number of students scoring 70% or higher on school division assessments will increase by 20% or more. Literacy
Goal: By 2016, the number of students scoring 70% or higher on school division assessments will increase by 20% or more. First Nations and Métis Achievement Goal: By June, 2016, the graduation rate for self-declared First Nations and Métis students graduating within three years of starting Grade 10 will increase by 25%. Larry Pavloff, Board Chair, said the goals reflect what the Board has been emphasizing for several years. The Board’s strategic plan will focus on these goals for the next three years. School division administration will regularly report to the Board on progress towards these goals. “The Board is to be commended for their leadership in developing a strategic plan that is founded on adult learning and student learning outcomes,” said John Kuzbik, Director of Education. “The strategic plan is not an additional requirement of more to do. Our strategic plan provides
direction and alignment for all that we do.” The Board also endorsed a Strategic Planning Framework for the Division which demonstrates how student learning is supported in a variety of integral ways throughout the school division, including transportation, facilities, Human Resources and technology. School year calendar The Board received an update on the development of the 2013/14 school year calendar from Learning Superintendent David Wipf, a member of the Prairie Spirit Calendar Committee. The Calendar Committee includes representation from the Board of Education, Division administration, the PSTA, CUPE, Non-union staff, parents (SCC members) and students. “Prairie Spirit’s principles and beliefs about learning guided the development of a learning-centered calendar,” Wipf said in his report. “The Committee has sought to provide calendar options that will op-
timize learning conditions for students and staff.”
CALENDAR OPTIONS
The Ministry of Education has updated the regulations of the Education Act that govern how the school year calendar must look, starting in the 2013/14 school year. Wipf told the Board that school year calendars must work within the following regulations: • Students start the school year after the Labour Day long weekend. • Students will have 950 hours of instructional time. • Students must have a spring break of not more than five consecutive school days. For consultation purposes, the Board approved in principle the Committee’s two recommended calendar options. Several staff consultation meetings have been planned to gain perspectives from staff members and share details of the calendar creation process. Once the final calendar options are confirmed, all Prai-
rie Spirit staff will have the opportunity to indicate their preferred calendar through an anonymous online survey. Parents and students will also be given the opportunity to provide feedback on the calendar through an online survey.
The Board of Education will review the results of the surveys when it approves the new school year calendar for

Impaired driver decides to sleep off previous night’s party on roadside FROM THE CELL BLOCK Submitted by
SGT. WARREN GHERASIM Warman RCMP
During the snow storm and high winds on March 20, RCMP had 23 collisions reported in the Warman Detachment area. Extreme weather caused white-outs and drifting snow, which in some areas caused drifts that extended across highways and were several feet high. Vehicles traveling too fast often found themselves in the ditch after being unable to negotiate some of the hazards. Police towed several vehicles that were left on the shoulder due to the hazard they posed to other traffic and the obstruction they posed to snow removal crews. Drivers are warned that a vehicle may not be left on the highway for an extended period of time and that if a vehicle is left at roadside arrangements should be made immediately to have it removed and communicate those arrangements to the RCMP. Between March 19 and 21 police towed 12 vehicles from area highways that had been left abandoned due to the inclement weather.
IMPAIRED DRIVER
On March 23 at 4:45 a.m. RCMP were called to a side road west of the City of Saskatoon. Two women in a Ford SUV advised they had become stuck in the snow when
attempting to turn their vehicle around. Police attended and noted that both of the women had been drinking. The woman identified as the driver of the vehicle advised that she had become stuck and could not maneuver her vehicle out of the snow. Police observed that the woman had been drinking and she submitted to a roadside breath test, which she failed. The woman was arrested and returned to the police detachment where she provided samples of her breath that were double the legal limit. The woman was released on charges of impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level in excess of the legal limit. A 29-year-old Iqaluit woman is schedule to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court in May.
SLEEPING DRIVER DRUNK
On March 23 at 10:35 a.m. police were contacted and advised of a suspicious vehicle on Township Road 384, near Highway 11, just south of Warman. RCMP located a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero at the side of the road and a female occupant sleeping inside behind the steering wheel. Further investigation revealed that the woman had been drinking, as she exhibited signs of impairment from alcohol consumption. The woman was arrested and taken to the police detachment where she provided breath samples that were in excess of the legal limit. The woman’s car was towed and she was later released on charges of having care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired and having a blood alcohol that exceeded the le-
Warman RCMP, Warman First Responders, Corman Park Police and MD Ambulance responded to what turned out to be an impaired driver at the intersection of Township Road 384 and Hwy. 11 on Saturday, March 23 gal limit. A 20-year-old woman from Ile a la Crosse will appear in court in Saskatoon in May in answer to the allegations.
WARNING NOT HEEDED
On March 23 at 11:00 p.m. RCMP were patrolling in the area of the Delisle Arena when they observed a female stumble toward a car in the parking lot of the arena. Police stopped and spoke with the woman, who had been drinking, but investi-
tually pulled over. The woman was arrested for impaired driving and taken to the police detachment where she provided breath samples that were over the legal limit. A 48-yearold Kinley woman was later released on charges of impaired driving and will appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court on May 22.
GAS AND DASH
On March 18 at 8:08 a.m.
RCMP received a call from a gas station on Centennial Dr. South in Martensville that a car had pulled away from the pumps with the hose still in the gas tank, tearing the nozzle and hose away from the pump. The driver of the vehicle then removed the broken hose, closed the gas cap and left the scene. Police have been provided with the vehicle and suspect’s description and are investigating.

Dalmeny raises funds for playground through In Motion Challenge The community of Dalmeny won second place in the recent Saskatchewan In Motion Challenge. The community took part in the challenge through the efforts of the Dalmeny Spray and Play Intergenerational Park Project. Crystal Benoit with the Spray and Play project said that while the community didn’t win the challenge, the participation of so many people in the contest resulted in an unprecedented move by the race organizers. “We came in a very close second place,” said Benoit. “But, because the race was so close and because we impressed In Motion with how well our little town did, for the first time ever they are giving a cash reward to the second place finisher. We officially won $3,000 for the playground.“ The winner of the contest was the community of Caronport, which recorded a total of 499,185 minutes of physical activity over 15 days. On the last
gation revealed that she did not have keys for the vehicle. The woman was cautioned about driving in her current state and she advised that she would not be. At about 11:30 p.m. police observed the same vehicle being operated a short distance away. Closer observation revealed that the same female was driving. Police observed the vehicle fail to stop for two stop signs before the woman even-
day of the challenge, Caronport supporters logged 60,194 minutes to secure the win. Dalmeny was a very, very close second with 468,710 minutes. Five other communities had over 100,000 minutes: Cudworth, Quill Lake, Gull Lake, Spiritwood and Bienfait. A total of 2,444,538 minutes of physical activity were registered in the 2013 community challenge. Over 3,347 people from Victoria, BC, Charlottown PEI and even Rockwell, Texas joined in the fun and created a profile to support their favourite community. The last profile was created by a Caronport supporter at 11:40 p.m. on March 15. The purpose of the Saskatchewan In Motion Community Challenge was to get people thinking about – and doing – physical activity every day. It is important that parents talk to their kids about how many minutes of physical activity they do before, during and after school every day.

Budgets beneficial to growing cities: Spence
SKATING CARNIVALS DELIGHT CROWDS
By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The federal and provincial budgets both contain measures that will help growing cities, according to the mayor of Warman. Sheryl Spence said the provincial budget released Wednesday, March 20 and the federal budget, unveiled on Thursday, March 21, earmark funds for urban centres. The federal budget allocates additional infrastructure funding to help urban areas respond to growth while repairing existing bridges, streets and waterlines. It also provides for an increase in the dedicated gas tax for urban municipalities. “In regards to the federal budget, the introduction of a new 10-year, $14.4 bilion infrastructure fund starting in 2014 and the gas tax fund for cities to increase two per cent each year will help communities – especially growing cities like Warman – to move forward,” said Spence. She said the provincial government’s decision to increase the urban municipalities’ portion of revenue-sharing is also welcome. But, there is room for improvement. “The provincial budget increase of 11.4 per cent in revenue sharing is definitely good news for Warman,” said Spence. “Although we all applaud growth, our governing partners must recognize we have unique challenges and great demands on our aging infrastructure. So, with these combined announcements, I believe all levels of government see the importance of investing in our communities. As a municipality, as a province and as a country we can grow and prosper for the best possible future for us all.”

Fitness Tips with Valerie Kirk What is a Fitness Assessment?
A fitness assessment is helpful when an individual is thinking about becoming fit or getting healthy. This is a series of tests that a Personal Trainer would administer to find out where a potential client’s fitness level is. It is a starting point to which the Trainer and client can refer to, to find out what gains that client has improved upon or not. If there are no gains the Trainer would change something within the training schedule or program. There is some controversy in the personal training industry about the value and necessity of fitness assessments. Some personal trainers perform various tests before training clients; others do not. A good personal trainer should perform some sort of testing before training any client. If you are interested in a fitness assessment make sure the personal trainer is certified through the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology (CSEP). This agency provides courses and certification through provincial agencies, such as the Ontario Association of Sport and Exercise Science (OASES). There are different levels of fitness assessment certification, with the basic certification being the Canadian Physical Activity and Fitness Lifestyle Appraisal (CPAFLA) (CPT - Certified Personal Trainer). The more advanced certification is Certified Exercise Physilogist (CEP). If looking for a personal trainer make sure you ask if they are certified through one of these organizations. • Discounts and coupons available with bookings • Training available in my gym or a gym of your choice • Personalized one-on-one training

Warman crowned provincial Pee Wee B champions Wildcats cap off undefeated playoff run in Lampman Submitted by
HARVEY SETO
Warman Wildcats Team Manager
In a hard fought battle against a very tough opponent, the Warman Wildcats won an exciting final game by a score of 4-3 over the Lampman/Arcola Imperials to claim the Pee Wee B provincial championship title. After making the trek through treacherous winter weather, the Wildcats arrived in Lampman on March 23 prepared to take on the Imperials in the second game of a two-game total-goals series to determine the 2013 Pee Wee B provincial champion. The Wildcats, having gone undefeated in all seven previous provincial games this year – including a victory on home ice against the same Imperials team in game one the week before – were ready for this last challenge. Not intimidated, the Imperials jumped out to an early 1-0 lead by scoring 3:30 into the first period on an individual, end-to-end effort during a power play. However, as the period progressed, the speed and grit of the Wildcats began to frustrate the Imperials as the home team attempted to respond with their size, which resulted in the start of what seemed to be a steady stream of Imperials going to the penalty box throughout the game. As a result, the Wildcats capitalized very quickly on two consecutive power plays with goals from Connor Fairburn (from Adam Power and Logan

Suter) and Adam Power (unassisted) to make the score 2-1 for Warman heading into the first intermission. The second period began with the Wildcats on an unsuccessful power play which appeared to give the momentum back to the home squad. The Imperials scored two unanswered goals, including one on a breakaway from a very well executed long pass that caught the Wildcats off guard with 10 seconds remaining in the period to make it 3-2. Heading to the dressing room for the second intermission, the Wildcats left the ice looking dazed and
looking for answers against this tough Imperials team. Perhaps drawing inspiration from the Saskatoon Blades bus in which the Warman team arrived in Lampman, the Wildcats demonstrated their determination to succeed by overcoming adversity in the third period by using their unrelenting speed once again to frustrate the Imperials into three more trips to the penalty box. Although unable to capitalize on the power play in the third period, the Wildcats grit finally paid off with a nifty pass from behind the net from Grif-
fin Martens to Nolan Seto, who buried the tying goal from the doorstep at the 9:35 mark of the period making the score 3-3. The goal by Seto, which proved to be the series and championship winning goal, returned the momentum to the Wildcats who sealed the deal with 1:18 remaining on a long empty netter by Connor Fairburn, his second goal of the night. The Wildcats’ net was backstopped by goalies Travis Bollenbach and Corbin Christianson, who faced a combined 29 shots, preserving Warman’s undefeated streak in this year’s provincials.
Marauders eliminated by Yorkton The Martensville Marauders Pee Wee 2A hockey team made it all the way to the provincial final, but fell short of the championship.

Huskies’ Bosch named Husky-WHL Graduate of the Month for March Former Medicine Hat Tiger Brennan Bosch – now a member of the 2013 University Cup host Saskatchewan Huskies – is the Husky-WHL men’s hockey Graduate of the Month for March and the final monthly winner for the 2012-13 season. Bosch, who is from Martensville, becomes the 25th monthly winner for the Huskies and second this year after conference scoring champion Kyle Bortis won the distinction in December. The award is voted on by all Canada West men’s hockey coaches. Each monthly winner throughout the season receives a $500 cheque towards the cost of education, a plaque, a letter from WHL Commissioner Ron Robison and a computer bag. Bosch, a Pharmacy major, was named team captain in his fourth year with the Huskies after being an alternate in 2011-12. During the month of March, the 5-7 forward recorded four goals and two assists in five games, including a threegoal, four-point effort in Game 2 of the Canada West final at Clare Drake Arena in Edmonton. It was on March 2nd, down one game to Alberta in the bestof-three conference final, that Bosch scored in the first period, again in the second, assisted
Clavet Cougars take silver, coaches score gold with birth of new son The Clavet Cougars senior boys basketball team earned a silver medal at the 2013 Hoopla provincial high school championship last weekend. And not a moment too soon. The team’s coaches, Claire and Paul McTavish, welcomed a brand new baby boy to their family just hours after the final buzzer. The baby boy, Benjamin, was welcomed to the world by his parents and big brother Carson on Sunday, March 24. The youngster arrived a few days earlier than his due date of April 2. But he timed his arrival to coincide with the end of a highly-charged basketball final, where the Clavet Cougars won a silver medal in the 3A senior boys category. The proud parents said it was a fitting birthday for little Benjamin, coming as it did on Hoopla weekend. The parents serve as head coach and assistant coach for the team. Claire was on the bench alongside her husband for the provincial final game on Saturday, March 23. After that game, they were watching the Clavet Cougars senior girls play for the bronze medal in the 3A girls game. It was then that Claire noticed she was having contractions, and a trip to the hospital followed shortly afterward. Claire said she thought the birth might have been because of a psychological relief after the basketball season finally ended. The couple’s older son, Carson, was born in 2011, the year that Clavet won a Hoopla provincial championship. Prior to this year’s tournament, arrangements were made to have Kathy Maki coach the team if needed. The couple now say they’re looking forward to Hoopla 2029, when their sons will be playing on the basketball team.

Martensville’s Brennan Bosch (foreground) of the U of S Huskies during the University Cup on the game-tying goal late in the third and finally buried the game-winner on Golden Bears All-Canadian goaltender Kurtis Mucha just 1:27 into the overtime session. While Bosch followed up with two more points the following night, it was not enough as the Golden Bears claimed victory. At CIS Nationals, the host Huskies fell 3-1 on consecutive days to eventual champion UNB and UQTR. For the season Bosch recorded 13 goals and 27 points, bringing his Canada West career totals to 41 goals and 86 points in 103 conference season games, adding 13 goals and 17 points in 20 playoff matches.
The 25-year-old has been the recipient of a WHL scholarship each year since joining the Huskies after graduating from the Medicine Hat Tigers, including October 2012 when he was one of 125 student-athletes from across Canada West to receive the honour. In four full seasons with Medicine Hat, Bosch picked up 191 points on 73 goals and 118 helpers. The biggest event of his Junior career was in the spring of 2007 when the Tigers finished 52-17-3, went on to become WHL champions and made the Memorial Cup final in Vancouver. During that post-season run, Bosch had 16 points in 23 games.

Sr. Girls Basketball The Senior Girls Basketball season has come to an end at Regionals last week end. The team played Estevan on Friday at Notre Dame and won with the score of 59 – 45. On Saturday we played Notre Dame and played very hard but lost 18 pts. The girls showed great growth as a competitive team and always showed sportsmanship and determination. I would like to recognize the grade twelves’ on the team, these four individuals have played basketball in their junior years and all four senior years. These committed players are Kelsie Boy, Jillian Bird, Tayler Chysyk and Talia Dale. A Huge thanks goes out to the supporting parents, our staff and Michelle Boy for driving our bus all over Saskatchewan. It was a great year and the players should be very proud of what they accomplished as a team. Sr. Boys Basketball The Senior Boys basketball had a wonderful, action-packed season with over 40 regular season games. They made it to Regional playoffs, which Warman hosted at the Legends Centre on March 15-16. They boys won their first game against Meadow Lake and made it to the final against Regina O'Neill, where they lost out. Graduating players are :Kyle Clarke, Brandon Duval, Karlin Dyck, Dustin Gasmo, Adam Leik, Logan Misskey, Cody Parsons, Nyle Segovia, and Braden Wiens. Thank you to coach Matt Misskey for all of your time and hard work Hockey Tournament On March 20th Warman High School hosted the 18th Annual Co-Ed School Hockey Tournament at the Diamond Arena in Warman. Teams from Hanley, Aberdeen, Hague, Clavet and Warman were in attendance. Despite the windy weather outside the tournament was a huge success. It was an excellent opportunity for all students of all skill levels to compete against teams from other school. Thanks to all the students and teachers that participated. Wrestling Warman High School finished up its second wrestling season and it was very successful. In the senior program we had our first Regional Champion, Anthony Hallborg. Three wrestlers represented Warman High School at the SHSAA provincial Championships at the University of Regina this year. Look for this number to increase next year as many athletes were very close to making it. The Junior program finished up with the Pupsel Tournament at the end of March, of the ten athletes that competed seven finished in the top three in their pool. A huge thank you goes out to all the parents who supported us, all the athletes for their hard work and to the coaches for their extra time. Next year looks to be exciting as we have many returning wrestlers and Junior wrestlers making the move to Senior. Look for wrestling to start at the beginning of December in 2013.

Here we go again! Are the playoffs already done? By the time you read this, the Saskatoon Blades’ time in the 2013 Western Hockey League playoffs might be over. At least one veteran member of the Bridge City Bunch believes there will be a Game five in the Blades’ best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarter-final series against the Medicine Hat Tigers Friday night at Credit Union Centre! “It’s obviously disappointing losing both games at home (4-1 last Thursday and 3-0 on Friday),” said 20-year-old Josh Nicholls. “But, at the same time, it’s important for us to learn from it and move forward. “It’s a race to four wins and they’re nowhere close to it.” The fifth year Saskatoon right winger was speaking following the Saturday setback in front of almost 6,000 dejected Credit Union Centre fans – many of whom weren’t sharing Nicholls’ faith. The loss was the 10th

straight for the Blades’ franchise in the playoffs. The last six of which were to the Tigers, who swept Saskatoon out of the post-season exactly one year ago. For a Game five to occur Friday, the Blades had to win at least one of the Tuesday or Wednesday contests at the Medicine Hat Arena. For that to happen, the Bridge City Bunch needs to have a better start to a game. “It was something we needed and we weren’t able to do it (in the first two games),” explained Nicholls. “Our top six forwards need to really take a look in the mirror her
and start to bear down on our chances, including myself.” Saskatoon needed to score more than just the first goal of a game in Medicine Hat this week. The Blades averaged almost five goals per game over their final 25 outings, during which they won 21 of them. General manager and head coach Lorne Molleken simplified the problems in the first two games this way, “(Thursday) night, I thought we beat ourselves on some of the goals they scored. (Friday) night, they just simply out-worked us.” According to Blades’ players, that would turn around in

Medicine Hat. “We’ll find a way, I’m not too worried about it,” Nicholls boldly predicted. “Obviously losing two games at home is tough, but I think we have the group to do it. Going through adversity is something we’re used to so we’re going to work hard for it.” That’s pretty convincing that there’ll be a game Friday at CUC! ***** UPCOMING GAMES – If the Saskatoon-Medicine Hat opening round series is still on, game five will be at CUC on Friday, March 29 at 7:05 p.m., broadcast at 6 p.m. on CKBLFM (92-9, The Bull). Game six (if nec.) will be Sunday, March 31 at Medicine Hat, 6 p.m., broadcast at 5 p.m. Game seven (if necessary) is slated for Tuesday, April 2 at Saskatoon, 7:05 p.m., broadcast at 6 p.m. ***** BLADES PLAYER OF THE WEEK – Out-scored 7-1 in the first two games, with the one goal coming on the power play, doesn’t leave many candidates for this writer’s choice award. Since two of the Medicine Hat goals were into an empty net, the winner of the weekly honour is goaltender Andrey Makarov. The 19-year-old Russian has stopped 69 of 74 shots for a save percentage of .932 and a goals against-average of 2.54.

Play On Twin Rivers Music Festival celebrates diversity in the arts By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca
If there was an award for “charming” at the Twin Rivers Music Festival (TRMF), a contender would be Rayn BuddRay, whose recitation of the poem: ‘Willie Ate the Worm’ ended with Rayn eating a worm, gummy version, presumably. He joined other notables performing in the Twin Rivers Music Festival Awards Concert held in Dalmeny on Sunday, March 24. Now in its 12th year, the festival was created to showcase talent that got lost in the big Saskatoon festival, and to bring it closer to home after years of commuting to the Rosthern festival. “We draw participants from Pike Lake, Vanscoy, Delisle, Asquith, as well as Aberdeen, Osler, Warman, Martensville and Hepburn,” said Twin Rivers Music Festival president Doreen Benson. The TRMF stands out because of its diversity. “The speech arts section includes poetry and storytelling and we even have adult participation, which we don’t always see at festivals. We’ve also had piano duets with Mom and child, teacher and child, and then we’re having duets with students,” says Benson. The weather wasn’t exact-
ly cooperative, with what was probably the biggest storm of the season happening concurrently. “Musicians are a dedicated bunch, they are tenacious and persistent,” said past president Marg Andres. “And in spite of all that Mother Nature had to throw at us, we had very few cancellations. They came and performed; they’ve done all this work, hours and hours of preparation for this one moment.” However, vocal adjudicator Casey Peden, who lives on a ranch in Glaslyn, was unable to make it. “We got a substitute vocal adjudicator, one of our own from Warman, Heather Waldner, and she came and bailed us out and we are so appreciative of that,” said Andres. Following the concert, awards were announced by Pat Schultz. “This year we had six of our musicians recommended to provincial festival which will be held in Moose Jaw in June and this is quite prestigious because they have to have a mark of 87 or above to qualify,” she said. “Competition is very stiff for that so you have to be performing at a high level. So we are very pleased to recommend, Shaelynne Sawatsky, Margaret Ong, Dominique Ong, Emily Cole, Jesse Gilchrist, and Jennae Marriott. This is definitely a record for us to have this

many people recommended for provincials.” Grade 8 student Keira Anderson won the Senior Piano Rose Bowl award, which includes a smashing bouquet of roses, a trophy and a $150 scholarship. “I was a little bit shocked to win this award,” says Anderson who also plays tuba in the school band. “There were a lot of good competitors in each class that I played in and the adjudicator had such good things to say about all of us.” This is Anderson’s fourth or fifth year performing. She has won in previous years but says, “This is the best I’ve done so far.” She will be back next year. Ethel Quiring performed her own composition, entitled ‘Harvest for Kids’ for the Senior Open, Solo Poetry. The plaque given for this category has her name in every spot except two since 2006. “I definitely still get energized after competing for so many years,” she says. “It’s very exciting and enjoyable. I like to keep my brain active.” Her other contribution was ‘The True Story of the Three Little Pigs’ her own version. Still going strong at age 72, Quiring performed at the Prairie View School on Monday morning and will also perform at the Variety Night in Dalmeny, April 11 at the Seniors’ Heritage Centre. “I get invited by various schools and other functions to perform and if I have opportunity I will do that,” she added. The concert audience packed the Dalmeny Community Church. Pat Schultz was grateful to all the performers. “We thank you all that you’ve given us this beautiful gift this afternoon. There are numerous people that we would have loved to have at this concert but we would be here for a very long time if you heard everything, so we picked music that would make a nice afternoon and we hope you enjoyed it,” she said.

Horoscopes CAPRICORN
Reduce, reuse and recycle. Implement the three R’s, Capricorn, and the difference you seek in your bottom line will be yours. A friend makes you an offer.
AQUARIUS Take it easy, Aquarius, before you earn the title of workaholic. Everyone has a limit, and you’re about to reach yours. Clear off your desk and take a few days off.
PISCES Moderation is key. Overindulge in any one thing, and you will pay for it, Pisces. Long-term goals become clear as short-term goals are reached.
ARIES Small misunderstandings at home lead to big chaos at an event. Make amends and learn from your mistakes, Aries, or else a repeat performance will be in store.
TAURUS Loose tongues get some coworkers into trouble. Take note, Taurus, and watch what you say. A trip turned disaster ends with a flourish!
GEMINI A health concern rears its ugly head again.No more holding back, Gemini. Look for a permanent fix and resolve the issue once and for all.
CANCER You can’t take on the world’s problems, Cancer. You can take on your own, however. A shopping spree uncovers a rare find. Take pleasure in it.
LEO Snap out of it, Leo. What’s done is done. Time to move on and focus on matters at home. A financial review uncovers a surplus of sorts.
VIRGO Easy, Virgo. Just because you move fast doesn’t mean others do. Keep your promise to help, but act on your friend’s terms, not yours.
LIBRA Charitable organizations come calling. Choose the best and leave the rest, Libra. This is not the time to stretch yourself thin. A home improvement project looms.
SCORPIO Attitude is everything in an upcoming project, Scorpio. Approach it in a positive frame of mind, no matter how big, and success will be yours.
SAGITTARIUS Get ready to party, Sagittarius. The chase for a dream ends, and you have much to celebrate. Reach out and share your joy with others.

Sizzling music, dazzling costumes and impressive routines made the Dalmeny Skating Club Carnival on Sunday entertaining and memorable. If would be hard to find a more supportive audience, as family members of the skaters hooted regularly and video cams were filming everywhere. The event at the Dalmeny Arena was a chance to “show off the skills that they’ve learned all year,” said Jody Thompson, Secretary and Carnival Coordinator for the club. “Skate for your Supper” was this year’s theme and to kick off the show skaters glided around a pink dining table and black chairs briefly arranged on the ice to set the tone. There was no supper, by the way, but enough references to food in the program selections, also known as the Menu, to make people hungry. Like chocolate, for example.

Clavet Skating Club presents The Lion King Submitted by
BEV FEDORIUK
President, Clavet Skating Club
Clavet Skating Club held its annual ice show on the weekend, unleashing the production “The Lion King”. The ice show is a celebration of the year’s successes and both shows, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, were enjoyed by all. Many volunteer hours go into pulling together such an event. Huge thanks goes to the ice chairpersons and also to the parent volunteers who helped with costuming, props, decorations and set up. In addition to the preparations leading up to the weekend, the event is a weekend commitment. Show preparations began early Saturday morning with the transformation of the ice surface, complete with on-ice seating and theatrical lighting. It is true that there is no ice show like the Clavet Skating Club ice show. We are truly grateful for everyone’s contributions. Of course the show would be nothing if not for the skaters and the coaches. The coaches, Laura McLeod, Kayla Parker, Tracy Hancherow and Kiara Popoff put together an outstanding program. Their creativity in envisioning and developing the story line on ice is incredible. The character assignments were perfect, and the skaters did a fantastic job portraying their part. The Clavet Skating Club is very fortunate to have an excellent, experienced, energetic and enthusiastic team of coaches leading our skaters. Deepest gratitude goes out to the parents for supporting the Clavet Skating Club. Delivering your skaters to the rink once, twice or three times a week is a commitment of your time to your skater, the coaches and the
club. The executive appreciate your commitment and involvement; without you there would be no us. The Clavet Skating Club would also like to express our thanks to the Clavet Community Arena Board and Clavet Minor Hockey Association. We are fortunate to be part of a community that is willing to support each other. Clavet Skating Club is always excited to welcome new members to our cast of characters. A description of programs offered is available on the club website at www.clavetskatingclub.ca. Registration information and session times will be updated in August. Questions can be directed to info@clavetskatingclub.ca.

BORDEN & DISTRICT News By LORRAINE OLINYK lolinyk@ccgazette.ca
Borden Friendship Club held their final Bingo for the spring on March 19 with under 20 out to play. Winners of cash prizes were Audrey Duda (3x), Justine Katerynch (3x), Jean Longmore, Doreen Flath (2x), Helen Sutherland (2x), L. Olinyk (2x), Jackie Meister, Stella Hawryluk and winning chocolates for losing in tiebreakers were Delbert Enns, Doreen Flath, Jackie Meister and John Petrun. Any profit from the bingos is going in to a fund for a bus trip to visit museums. Condolences are extended to Don Brand, Borden, on the loss of his sister, Olinda Tindall, at the age of 96 who lived in Lloydminster; and Loreena Siltzer on the loss of her mother who lived with her at Borden. Also condolences to Margie Clair and Laurie and Jack Rieter and family of Radisson on the loss of their mother and grandmother, Ida Bole, who passed away March 17 at the age of 93, and who had resided at the Borden Care Home. Radisson Co-op held their annual meeting preceded by a roast beef supper on a stormy March 20 evening in Radisson Hall. General Manager Rob Schmidt thanked everyone that did come out in the storm and icy roads, stating the Co-op had $4 million in sales in 2012, down four per cent but the gross margin was still up at $323,000. After the general meeting a partnership presenta-
tion was made on the amalgamation of Radisson and Battlefords Co-ops, showing marketplace trends, changing business environments, services offered by the partners, information about Battlefords Co-op (which includes Glaslyn and Cutknife) and what the combined locations would have in members, sales, assets, employees, etc. There will be a future meeting and voting to be held in Radisson. The Saskatchewan Elks Foundation held their last PEACE 100 Snowmobile Rally in Nipawin on February 22 and 23 and appreciation to those in Borden and Radisson who bought tickets from the Radisson Royal Purple members. Profits from this event went to the Elks and Royal Purple Fund for Children and SPARC (Program for Children with Hearing Problems). The Borden Community Centre Preservation committee are having a garage sale on Saturday, April 13 in the Community Centre and the Grad 2013 class will have lunch available. If anyone has items to donate or to be picked up, please call Dianne at 306-997-2235 or Florence at 306-9972130. The Museum annual meeting that was cancelled March 20 due to weather is rescheduled for April 3 at the Senior’s Room at 7:30 p.m. Please try to attend to hear what the museum has accomplished the last few years and their plan for the future.

The Luck of the Irish was with me as I was one of the Lucky Leprechaun Draw winners at the St. Patrick’s Day Langham Museum coffee break on Monday, March 18. The attendance was great considering we all had to plough, shovel or plunge through the latest dump of snow to get there. And, speaking of attendance, the number of ladies present outnumber the gentleman, almost two to one – maybe it was the ‘wearing of the green’ that scared the boys off. ‘Tis a shame if that was the case as everyone wearing green was promised a draw ticket entry and free coffee and goodies. However, Rose Dick, being the kind sole that she is, saw to it that everyone in attendance received that privilege as she placed a green sticker on anyone who arrived ‘greenless’. So there you have it! Free coffee was had by all! Appreciation to Doris Tarasoff for having the brew ready for us. In addition to the many Lucky Leprechaun draws, we were privileged to sing “Happy Birthday’ to our cheerful rec director, Corinne Waldner, who celebrates a birthday on St. Paddy’s Day. Just as a reminder the coffee is on at the Museum every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning. Coffee and goodies are yours for a donation and the local news is free.
