One man was taken to hospital following a two-vehicle collision at a rural intersection northwest of Warman on Wednesday, November 13.

The collision occured around 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of Range Road 3052 and Township Road 392 (also known as Power Line Road).

The collision involved a westbound semi-trailer truck hauling gravel and a northbound Chevrolet half-ton truck.

The intersection has yield signs for east-west traffic on Power Line Road.

Russ Austin, deputy fire chief with the Warman Fire Department, said the westbound yield sign had been knocked down and in the ditch, which may have prevented the semi driver, who was travelling from the east and heading westbound, from yielding.

“It was an uncontrolled intersection where neither vehicle yielded causing a collision,” said Austin.

The impact of the collision crushed the front end of the half ton truck and pushed it into the south ditch of Township Road 392 a short distance west of the intersection. The half-ton remained upright, but the injured driver had to be removed from his truck by Warman First Responders. He was carried by stretcher from the wrecked vehicle and taken

by MD Ambulance paramedics to hospital in Saskatoon.

His injuries are not considered life-threatening.

Austin said about 250 U.S. gallons of diesel fuel leaked out onto Range Road 3052. He added Saskatoon-based Envirotec were contacted and put in charge of cleanup.

Warman RCMP officers blocked off the intersection until the debris was cleaned up and vehicles were removed from the scene.

Weather conditions were clear at the time of the collision. RCMP are investigating the incident to determine the exact cause of the collision.

Hague water system slated for upgrade Feds, province kick in funds to expand reservoir, replace equipment

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Town of Hague is upgrading its water distribution system to keep up with its growing population.

WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE

The federal and provincial governments are chipping in $239,741 each toward expanding the municipal reservoir capacity and replacing electrical pumps, switches and other components in the water distribution system.

The town itself is financing the balance of the project, to the tune of $719,225.

The announcement of the funding from senior levels of government under the Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund was made at the Hague Municipal Hall on Friday, November 15.

“This is a great day for Hague, because this upgrade to our water distribution system has been a long time coming,” said Hague Mayor Pat Wagner. “We started talking about it seriously around the council table in 2009 and 2010 when we were starting to plan for a new subdivision and more residential development.”

She said the capacity of the existing town reservoir was quickly approaching the point where it wouldn’t be able to handle any more demands.

“The current capacity of our water treatment plant and reservoir is only for about 900 people, so we knew if we were going to expand and develop, then we had to upgrade,” she said. “We did the engineering study, so we had the num-

bers and we knew what was involved in order to bring that capacity up to service about 1200 people. That’s what we should be able to accommodate once the new system is in place. It will also handle our firefighting needs.”

Wagner is confident the funds allocated to the project will cover the entire cost, and said the federal and provincial contributions are very much appreciated.

“The financial support we are getting from senior governments will ensure our water system will meet the demands of our growing community,” she said. “These upgrades will improve the reliability of the system by reducing interruptions and down-time for maintenance.

This will have a positive impact on residents and businesses.”

Hague Town Foreman Jim Heinbigner said the new 75,000 gallon reservoir slated to be built will double the town’s water storage capacity. But equally important, he said, are the upgrades to the electrical system and the installation of a backup generator.

“A lot of the electrical components are 1964-65 vintage,” said Heinbigner. “We’ve done some little upgrades with timers and so on from time to time, but the last real improvement was done back in about 1981. So it’s definitely due.”

Heinbigner said he doesn’t anticipate there will be any need to dig up any of the existing waterlines under the streets. The upgraded system should be able to tie in to the existing lines.

“But you never know what you’re going to encounter,” he added. “We’ll see what happens, but at this point I don’t expect we’ll have to dig up lines.”

Mayor Wagner said she expects the project to begin in the spring once the environ-

She adds she is hopeful the entire project can be done in a single phase.

Kelly Block, MP for Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar, said the federal government is committed to helping communiteis meet their infrastructure needs. She said the

federal and Saskatchewan governments have invested about $210 million in 150 projects across the province since 2007 under the Building Canada Fund - Communities Component.

nize that growth comes with challenges.”

Heppner pointed to the recent upgrades to the municipal water system in the neighbouring town of Hepburn as an example of the importance of cooperation between various levels of government on infrastructure projects.

Since Typhoon Haiyan made landfall, the Red Cross has been working to provide urgently needed assistance in affected communities. This includes carrying out search and rescue operations, distributing food, and mobilizing items like blankets, jerry cans, hygiene kits and sleeping mats.

“We have the deepest sympathy for the people of the Philippines who have suffered this terrible devastation. The magnitude of their loss is unimaginable,” says Keith Nixon, CEO, SaskCentral. “Credit unions are more than willing to support the Red Cross relief efforts by collecting donations at branches throughout the province.”

RM looking No Bullying Provincial to beef up Schools Tour receives building warm welcome in Hague inspections

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park wants to ensure that all new buildings in the municipality comply with the National Building Code by reducing the number of “open building permits.”

A resolution adopted at the RM of Corman Park council meeting on Monday, November 18 called for a “more proactive approach to ensure that contractors and ratepayers are aware of their responsibility to have their project inspected, and in turn, certifying that their construction project is being constructed in accordance with all RM standards” The resolution was triggered by a rise in the number of “open building permits” on the books dating back to 2005. The list was compiled by MuniCode Services, wich provides building inspection services and issues building permits for the RM. Kelby Unseth with the RM of Corman Park Planning Department told council that an “open permit” is one which hasn’t had final inspection.

“When a building permit has been issued, an inspection schedule is attached to the permit with instructions on when to contact MuniCode Services for an inspection,” said Unseth.

“The inspection schedule varies depending on what is being constructed” and could involve anywhere from a single inspection to several inspections.

“However, over the last few years the number of open permits - those permits which have not had a final inspection - has grown,” he said. “This creates a few problems. One issue of having open permits is that if there has not been an initial inspection then there is an opportunity for construction projects to go unassessed, which creates a situation of lost tax revenue.

Another problem with permits which are not undergoing regular inspections is that these structures may not adhere to the National Building Code and accessibility standards which could result in safety issues.”

Corman Park council decided to prepare a letter which is modelled on a similar notice issued by the RM of Aberdeen.

The notice would be sent to all Corman Park ratepayers who have open permits.

The council also indicated it will work with MuniCode to reduce the incidence of open permits in the future.

Students from Hague High School and Hague Elementary School had the opportunity to stand up to bullying during the first stop on the Imagine No Bullying Provincial Schools Tour on November 14.

Featuring Saskatchewan Country Music Association multiple award winner Codie Prevost, National Philanthropy Award winner Stephen Maguire and Canadian Red Cross representative Jeanny Buan, the goal of the tour was to encourage students to stand up to bullying by creating a conversation about it.

The tour offered a presentation during the day for students and teachers and a show for parents and community members during the evening.

All proceeds from the evening show will go towards the Imagine No Bullying Campaign.

The tour started in Hague and will visit schools in Yorkton, Weyburn, Saskatoon, La Ronge, Swift Current and Regina.

The idea for the tour, which was presented by Studio XII Music & Dance Company in Saskatoon earlier this spring, drew an overwhelming response by students and parents to create a bullying awareness tour and take it on the road.

Maguire, who is originally from Belfast, Ireland, explained to students that it wasn’t easy growing up Roman Catholic in Northern Ireland, when he was bullied by people who didn’t agree with his faith.

“I mean sometimes you hit a brick wall and you don’t know if you can turn the corner. You just don’t know that there is a way out when there is,” he said. “That is why it is good for us to get out there and say there is another way, spread the message and have a conversation.”

Prevost, who grew up in Archerwill in northeastern, Saskatchewan, said he often had his lunch stolen and never wanted to talk about his bullying experiences afterward. He said he hopes this tour will bring more children forward.

JAMES TARRANT | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

National Philanthropy Award winner Stephen Maguire and SCMA winner Codie Prevost sing “Let Love Conquer All” during the inaugural No Bullying Provincial Schools Tour in Hague Both entertainers said they turned to music to help them cope with bullying.

“It was therapeutic. It was putting your feelings on a page rather than bottling that up like a pressure cooker. It was kind of my outlet,” said Maguire.

Buan said she was bullied from age six to 14, while growing up in the Philippines.

Shortly after the presentation Buan was approached by a Hague student that was overcome with emotion while telling Baun her story.

Baun said experiences like that are encouraging because

it shows that bullying awareness campaigns play a role in helping kids talk about their experiences.

“She told me she didn’t have any friends. I can relate to her because I didn’t have any friends when I was her age.

For me to be able to reach out to her was personally fulfilling.”

During the presentation, each student was handed a piece of paper, from which they were asked to write down their ideas about how they would like to positively change their school and community.

Prevost said after the tour is complete a picture will be taken of the pieces of paper and posted online.

A special part of the presentation was a song called “Let Love Conquer All” that both Prevost and Maguire collaborated on to kick-off the bullying awareness tour. Maguire said he hopes to organize another school tour in April and November of next year.

“Bullying is not going to go away any time soon and it just is an awareness thing. We are just saying ‘look, we need to put an end to this and do it through music’.”

CROSSMOUNT SIGN NIXED

A request by Blackstone Land and Cattle Corporation to install a large sign on Highway 219 at the entrance to the proposed Village at Crossmount development south of Saskatoon was turned down by the RM of Corman Park council.

According to a request put forward by the developer, the sign would state: “Future Home of the Village at Crossmount” and would also list the participating partners. The council was concerned that the installation of this type of sign was premature, given that the development itself has not received all the necessary approvals.

Council earlier this year did establish a special zoning designation known as a “Direct Control District 1” (DCD1) which would facilitate the type of development that Blackstone is proposing. However, the specifics of the Crossmount project, which would see a large integrated multi-unit residential development, have not yet been put before council.

PSSD meeting provides updates on academic goals, school expansions Submitted by

BRENDA ERICKSON

Prairie Spirit School Division

The Prairie Spirit Board of Education held its regular meeting on Monday, November 4 with a variety of items on the agenda.

Prairie Spirit numeracy goal

Learning Superintendent Karen Campbell and Trish Reeve, Coordinator of Schools and Learning, made a presentation to the Board regarding the Division’s work in the area of numeracy.

Campbell said the Division’s work is based on the goals of the Saskatchewan math curriculum, namely: number sense, spatial sense, logical thinking and mathematics as a human endeavor. “We want students to think about numbers and communicate their understanding,” she explained. “We want students to be able to reason.”

The numeracy strategic goal is aimed at achieving a deep understanding of mathematics so students are confident in transferring their knowledge to new situations, she added.

Campbell explained the development of the numeracy framework in the Division, noting that Prairie Spirit’s work is based on extensive research.

Reeve said the Division has developed specific assessments at various grade levels to ensure students are demonstrating appropriate progress.

Prairie Spirit provides a variety of professional development opportunities for teachers, including numeracy team days and First Steps in Math training. In addition, parent nights are regularly offered at schools to provide more information for parents as they support their children.

S outh Corman Park School grade configuration The Board passed a motion to continue the current grade configuration of Kindergarten through Grade 6 at South Corman Park School.

The School Community Council (SCC) at South Corman Park School had asked the Board to consider expanding the school by adding Grades 7 and 8 to the school, as one strategy to increase enrolment at the school and to benefit the school’s students. As part of the process to evaluate this request, the Board commissioned a community survey to gauge the community’s support for an expanded school. The survey also assessed attendance patterns and trends in the community.

“Through the survey, we heard that parents who send their children to South Corman Park (SCP) School are very happy with the school,” said Larry Pavloff, Board Chair. Pavloff

added that the survey results did not give sufficient evidence that more students would attend SCP if the school included Grades 7 and 8. In addition, the school would require extensive modifications to accommodate older students.

“It’s an incredible school,” said Trustee Cathy Taylor. Taylor said the school provides excellent education programing for students as well as a smooth transition to Clavet Composite School for Grades 7 - 12.

Trustees discussed the need for continued monitoring of the growth in the South Corman Park School area.

Lost River Hutterite Colony School & Pike Lake School

The Board welcomed the administrators from Lost River Hutterite Colony and Pike Lake School. Carlyng Whenham, Lost River Hutterite Colony teacher/principal, told the Board that her school is focusing on reader’s and writer’s workshops. “The colony really embraces learning,” she said.

This year, Lost River has 15 students in Kindergarten through Grade 8.

Claire Tarala, Principal of Pike Lake School, said her school has a focus on literacy and comprehension strategies this year. She said Pike Lake School has a weekly “Genius Hour” designed to give students the opportunity to spend one hour in their area of personal interest and passion and make a presentation to the teacher.

She said the students are very engaged and enjoy this opportunity. Pike Lake School has 31 students in Kindergarten through Grade 4.

Larry Pavloff, Board Chair, thanked the two administrators for their work. “The Board is very proud of your work for students and we sincerely appreciate all the care given to students in preparing them for Learning for Life.”

Facilities update

At the Board’s regular meeting on Monday, October 21, Kerry Donst, Facilities Planner, presented the Strategic Directions Update for Facilities, highlighting three areas: longterm plans for all Prairie Spir-

it schools, a master plan for Warman and Martensville and relocation of the Prairie Spirit Bus Shop.

Donst also presented a capital report for the school division, detailing the major projects that will need to be undertaken. The Board approved the report which will now be submitted to the Ministry of Education for prioritization.

The Board has made application to the Ministry for the following projects: • New regional high school for Warman and Martensville • Health and safety addition and renovations for Valley Manor Elementary School in Martensville. Because Valley Manor has grown significantly with the addition of many relocatables, a fire protection system is required by code and additional washrooms are also required.

• Structural renovations (replacing roof on west wing) of Rosthern High School • Mechanical system replacement for Delisle Composite School • Structural renovations for Colonsay School Donst also provided an update for those capital projects currently underway in the Division:

Warman Community Middle School

• The PAA wing, theatre and portables are scheduled to be complete by the end of the year.

• Project costs are within the Ministry’s budget allocation.

VCA DEDICATION

Bishop Howard Peters (centre) leads a prayer to dedicate the new addition to the Valley Christian Academy (VCA) during a fundraising supper at the VCA gym on Thursday, November 14. Joining Bishop Peters on stage are VCA Board members (left to right) Pastor Henry Janzen, VCA Board Chair Wes Wahl, Steve Giesbrecht, Mark Wiebe, Dennis Klassen, Ken

Futures Fund appeals to rural savers

Cost overruns on P3 project already started

As Telemiracle rolls around each year, we are reminded of the generosity of rural Saskatchewan’s savers.

By FLORENCE STRATTON REGINA WATER WATCH www.cupe.ca

Information obtained by Regina Water Watch through a freedom of information request to the City of Regina reveals that the city-run “Vote No” campaign overspent its $340,000 budget by 20%, racking up $408,594.96 in costs during the referendum on the city’s wastewater treatment plant.

With the City of Regina moving ahead with its P3, this is just the first instance of what will likely be a long list of cost overruns on this project. We’re afraid it’s going to be a long and costly 30 years for the citizens of Regina.

According to statements made in August by city communications manager Deb McEwen, funding for the “Vote No” campaign was allocated from the city’s budget for the wastewater treatment plant upgrades, meaning the P3 privatization project has seen its first cost overrun before even selecting the consortium that will run the plant.

The City of Regina revealed in mid-October that the total cost to run the referendum was $356,000, well short of the $550,000 council set aside in the general reserve fund in August for the referendum. The budget for nonpartisan voter information was originally set at between $100,000 - $120,000, but the actual amount spent on communications was under $80,000.

It was bad enough that the City of Regina budgeted three times more taxpayers’ dollars to tell citizens how to vote, rather than where to vote; it’s even worse that it went way over the budget it gave itself without the democratic oversight of council approval. It’s a sad day for democracy when the city spends $50,000 more on a campaign of half-truths than it spends to run the entire referendum. It’s money that should have been spent to set up proper polling stations at seniors’ homes and to ensure that every resident received information about where to vote, something the mayor claimed the city couldn’t afford.

In all, the ‘Vote No’ campaign spent almost three times the amount spent by the Regina Water Watch-led campaign to keep the plant public. In addition to the city’s campaign, the Regina and District Chamber of Commerce says it spent approximately $130,000 to support the city council-led campaign, and other organizations – including the Regina & Region Home Builders’ Association, the Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce, the Saskatoon Home Builders’ Association, and the North Saskatoon Business Association – spent undisclosed amounts on advertising during the campaign. The Canadian Union of Public Employees revealed it contributed $180,000 in support of the “Vote Yes” campaign.

Provincial Politics

COMMENTARY

The Kinsmen’s fabulously successful annual fundraiser has become more successful in recent years because of large donors bequeathing hundreds of thousand dollars to the charity fundraiser.

Almost invariably, they are old farmers or others from rural Saskatchewan who lived frugally all their lives and viewed the charitable foundation as the best way to give back to future generations after they were gone.

These people have been the backbone of this province and thoughts of them crosses one’s mind as Saskatchewan embarks on what might be its biggest savings project in our history.

The Saskatchewan Futures Fund was unveiled last week.

Its author, former University of Saskatchewan President Peter MacKinnon, described

no other way than to get by with less.

This trait is less common in each generation, as people demand more and more for themselves and from the government. This is also reflected in why we really haven’t saved all that much in this time of plenty when Saskatchewan’s public debt has actually increased.

Yes, our revenues have increased at a fantastic 77 per cent since that 2003-04 budget. But our spending has increased 87 per cent. What should have been massive surplus budgets have really only been modest surpluses or sometimes even overall deficits.

Unlike the Saskatchewan of the past, people are dissatisfied with getting by with less.

Larger and larger wage demands from public servants, more government programs and demands for less taxation keep coming from people feeling increasingly more entitled to spend our one-time resource revenue.

And, unless we have more “savers” than there appears to be, this Futures Fund might be tougher to fill than some think.

Carefully choose who to support in upcoming wheat, barley elections

would still have an extra $220 million to play with.

In fact, MacKinnon estimated that had we started this particular fund in 2003-04, we would have already had $12 million stashed away by the end of this fiscal year in March. (However, it is worth noting that 2003-04 was actually the start of the Saskatchewan boom that saw the current rapid rise in resource revenue.)

MacKinnon further suggests the fund could be used to pay down provincial debt – the lasting legacy of the Grant Devine government. The fund could also be supplemented with stocks and bond investments.

It all sounds rather good, but you might be wondering what all this has to do with the generation of rural Saskatchewan savers that have so generously donated to Telemiracle.

Well, it might actually speak to why such a modern day Futures Fund will be harder to implement than it seems. Many of those rural people donating so generously to things like Telemiracle were weaned on the Great Depression, growing up knowing

it as a “permanent intergenerational savings and investment fund” that could convert “excess” one-time non-renewable natural resource money into support for future generations.

Conceptually, there is actually little new in what MacKinnon is proposing. Alberta has had a similar Heritage Fund setting aside some of its present-day natural resource wealth for future generations.

So has Norway, from where MacKinnon got many of his ideas.

MacKinnon’s proposal would set aside no more than 26 per cent of the provinces “excess” natural resource revenue – based on the average of the previous five years – in any given year.

If natural resources that year did not exceed the fiveyear average, there would obviously be no money set aside.

However, if we averaged $3 billion a year over the previous five years and pulled down $4 billion on one particularly good year when oil, potash, natural gas, gold, uranium, were all doing well, we would have a tidy $780 million for the Futures Fund that year and the government

With the elections for the new wheat and barley commissions looming, I decided to give all of the candidate biographies a read. I noticed an interesting contrast.

There are many candidates for both commissions that are very clear about where they stand on the important issues of maintaining public plant breeding and ensuring farmers maintain the right to save their seed. Others fail to men-

tion these crucial points and cloud their positions with ambiguous language and talking points.

These are farmer organizations and those elected to serve should be putting farmers first. Some candidates seem very comfortable about cozying up further to the agri-business giants that make their billions off of farmers.

Others are clear in saying that farmers must come ahead of industry.

The privatization of Canadian agriculture is almost complete. We have no orderly marketing, no publicly owned facilities and the federal government has gutted the public plant breeding system. These elections are a chance for those farmers who recognize the value of publicly funded research to make their voices heard and work to stop the destruction of a hundred year legacy of public plant breeding.

Do not let wheat and barley seed go the route of canola.

Do not elect candidates that would like to see us paying exorbitant prices for seed that we cannot save to plant again the year after.

Read the candidate biographies closely and ensure that your votes go to candidates who will work to put farmers before industry.

CLASS ACT Warman Community Middle School celebrates official opening

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

After years of hard work, it all came down to this special day.

The Warman Community Middle School (WCMS) celebrated its official grand opening on Friday, November 15, as approximately 525 Grade 4 to 7 students - the total enrollment of the school - filled the massive gymnasium to witness the unveiling of a plaque to mark the occasion.

Provincial Education Minister Don Morgan and Central Services Minister Nancy Heppner were on hand for the official ceremony, along with Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence, WCMS school community council Chair Tracie Risling, elected representatives of the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) and PSSD Director of Education John Kuzbik.

The total cost of the new school was over $29 million.

The provincial government

contributed about $18.7 million to the project.

“Warman is one of the fastest-growing communities in the country and we recognize that more school infrastructure is required to meet the needs of the students, their families and the community,” said Morgan. “The new Warman Community Middle School will provide the space sutdents need for a high-quality education.”

Sam Dyck, PSSD Board of Education representative for Warman, said the new school is truly a “21st Century” place of learning where students can prepare for the future.

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence told the opening day crowd that the new school represents a “true partnership” that brings together the school division, the community and the provincial government.

The benefits of a joint-use facility that incorporates a school with the Legends Centre, a multi-purpose sports complex has opened up new possibilities, she said.

“This is the kind of innovative partnership that will serve as a model for the rest of the province,” she explained.

Several students, including Tristin Campbell, Anna Sawatzky, Emily Malmgren and Austin Villarica performed at the opening ceremony.

The WCMS was designed to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver standard and features flexible learning areas.

Greg Tebay, Principal of WCMS, said the students have settled into the school after two months of classes, but they are very conscious of the fact that they’re the first students of the school, and are making

history and new school traditions as they go along.

The new school has temporarily relieved some of the pressure on both the Warman Elementary School and Warman High School, but new schools are needed as the population continues to expand rapidly. The province recently announced a new joint publicCatholic school for Warman to be built using the P3 model.

Animal control bylaw limits number of pets allowed in households

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A new Animal Control Bylaw in Warman sets a limit on the number of pets allowed in individual households.

The Animal Control Bylaw was given third and final reading at the Warman City Council meeting on Tuesday, November 12. The bylaw lays out measures to license, regulate, control and prohibit the ownership and possession of certain animals within the Warman city limits.

Under the new bylaw, households are limited to a maximum of five (5) animals within the city boundaries. This is a total combination of dogs and cats.

The bylaw was adopted with one councilor voting in opposition. Councilor Trevor Peterson expessed misgivings about placing a ceiling on the number of pets per household.

But Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said the majority of councilors agreed there had to be a maximum limit on the number of dogs and cats allowed per household, and that five was a reasonable number.

The bylaw has been in the works for several weeks and is based on current animal control bylaws in several similarsized urban centres.

The bylaw is designed to balance the needs of animals and the rights and responsibilities of pet owners with the need to ensure pets do not become a nuisance or a danger to other residents and adjoining properties.

The bylaw stipulates that every owner of a dog or cat must obtain a permanent license from the City. The license has a one-time fee, and is valid for the life of the animal. It is not transferable to another animal.

Pet owners are obliged un-

der the bylaw to ensure their animals have adequate food, water, and shelter, and are not subjected to inhumane living conditions. Animals must also be able to obtain regular exercise. Pet owners are obliged to pick up their pet’s feces, and to ensure their pets are on a leash at all times within city limits.

Under the bylaw, it is an offense for an owner to allow an animal to become a nuisance “by barking or howling... at any time of the day or night....

An animal is creating a disturbance if a person not situated on the property where the animal is located can easily hear the disturbance.”

The bylaw prohibits city residents from keeping livestock, fur-bearing animals, poultry or bees within city limits. There is one exception: a household may keep a pair of breeding rabbits and “unweaned offspring”.

The steps involved in seizure, impounding and destruction of animals found to be in violation of the bylaw’s provisions are laid out in the bylaw.

DANGEROUS DOGS

Under the bylaw, “dangerous dogs” are defined as those that, without provocation, chase or approach a person or other domestic animal in an apparent attitude of attack. Dangerous dogs are also defined as those that have a disposition to attack without provocation or that otherwise threaten the safety of persons or domestic animals.

A dog that has been proved to be owned “primarly or in part for the purpose of dog fighting or is trained for dog

fighting” is also considered to be a “dangerous dog” under the bylaw.

There is an exemption in the bylaw for guard dogs confined in a securely enclosed fence on a commercial property, as well as exemptions for dogs acting in the perfor-

mance of police work. A third exemption is for dogs defending a commercial property against a person who was committing an offense.

The full text of the bylaw is available online. All bylaws are posted on the City of Warman website.

Police continue investigation into attempted murder case in Warman

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Police are continuing their investigation into an attempted murder case in which a 13-yearold girl was stabbed in Warman last September.

Sergeant Warren Gherasim of the Warman RCMP detachment said investigators are currently awaiting forensic labo-

ratory test results on several knives that were recovered in the days immediately following the incident.

“We have seized a number of knives,” confirmed Gherasim.

“Right now we’re not sure of the origins of any of these knives.

We had a number of people call the police in the days and weeks following the incident, saying they had found a knife in a back

alley or in a back yard - a variety of locations. We are looking into all of them. Some are less likely than others, but we have to examine every one.”

In a phone interview on Thursday, November 14, Gherasim said right now the investigation is progressing slowly as they wait for the test results to come back from the lab.

“These pieces all take time,”

Church donation to Warman Fire Department funds bike safety program

said Gherasim. “It’s an onerous process. Forensic labs have a lot of evidence in a lot of cases to go through. That’s the reality of the situation.”

He said the lab tests are needed in order to determine if any of the knives that were seized have any traces of blood on them.

“Each one has to be examined very carefully,” he said. “If it is determined that the presence of blood is detected on any of them, then we have to get comparisons using DNA analysis.”

VICTIM TRUST ACCOUNT

The stabbing occured about 10:05 p.m. on Friday, September 13 in an alley in the 200 block of Haichert Street in Warman.

Police found a 13-year-old female victim with multiple stab wounds to her neck and lower

body as well as her torso. She was rushed to hospital in serious condition and underwent emergency surgery.

The young girl who was stabbed is gradually recovering, but is still going through a series of several painful reconstructive surgeries. While the physical scars are expected to heal, the psychological scars are extremely deep and will likelytake a long time for her to overcome.

A trust account was established by friends of the girl’s family at the Warman branch of Affinity Credit Union. That account has remained open and donations are still being accepted. The funds are being used for expenses related to the girl’s hospitalization, counselling and family household expenses incurred during those occasions when her mother is unable to

work because of the need to care for the girl.

COURT DATE NOT YET SET

A 13-year-old boy from Warman, who cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was arrested the night of the stabbing and was released on bail following a court appearance on September 17. The youth must abide by strict conditions imposed by the court.

The youth’s next appearance in court has not yet been set.

“He’s out on conditions at the present,” confirmed Gherasim.

“There is a case management consultation scheduled for next week in whch the youth’s lawyer and the Crown will discuss issues that will come up at his trial, and they’ll also talk about procedural matters, including setting a court date.”

Royals come from behind to defeat Wildcats

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Hague Royals overcame a 2-goal deficit to down the host Warman Wildcats 5-2 in Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) action at the Legends Centre in Warman on Saturday, November 16.

The Wildcats took advantage of strong goaltending by netminder Brennan Kirkness to jump out to a quick 2-0 first period lead thanks to a powerplay goal by Tyson Crookedneck and another marker by Brett Hesterman just after a power play ended.

But the Royals bounced back in the second frame with evenstrength goals by Tyler Karst and Daniel Rauckman, while Jesse Mireau added a single and Travis Fehr had a pair of goals (including a short-handed empty netter) in the final twenty minutes. Hague goaltender Graham Hildebrand was steady between the pipes during the last two periods, stopping all 17 shots that came his way.

Hague outshot Warman 40-28 in the contest, which featured end-to-end action and plenty of hits.

Warman managed to kill off a critical five-minute major penalty at the tail end of the second period and early part of the third when the score was tied 2-2, but Hague’s relentless pressure eventually paid off when the Royals grabbed the lead and never looked back.

“It was a good, entertaining game,” said Royals coach/ manager Roger Kinzel. “We got down by a couple of goals early on, but the boys worked their way out of that hole and came out on top. I was happy to see how they picked up the pace in the second period and started backchecking.”

Kinzel said the Royals needed the win. They lost 7-3 the night before on home ice to the visiting Tisdale Ramblers, and were looking to get some momentum heading into the next stretch of games. “It’s not going to be an easy road,” said Kinzel. “We play Waldheim next weekend and then we go back to Tisdale.”

The Wildcats are still looking for their first win of the season, but are making progress, according to Dale Hildebrandt, an assistant coach with the team who’s been behind the bench for many years as a trainer.

“There were some bright spots in this game,” said Hildebrandt. “I thought the guys played a good, solid first period, and our penalty-kill was strong, but for some reason we just weren’t able to hold onto the lead. There’s still lots of bugs we have to work out. We have a lot of new guys on the team and we still have to gel. They need to get used to playing as a unit.

There were times when they looked like they were fighting the puck.”

It was the second home game in two nights for the Wildcats, who lost 10-4 on Friday, November 15 to the visiting Rosthern Wheat Kings. Warman was outshot 38-30 in the Friday night game, but were hoping to build on the momentum of a thirdperiod rally. The Wildcats’ best player in that game was Dan Lind, who scored a goal and added an assist. Warman’s other goals came from Tyson Crookedneck, Matt Piper and Tim Thiessen.

The Wildcats next home game is Friday, November 22 at the Legends Centre against Bruno.

Game time is 8:30 p.m. The Royals’ next game is also November 22 when they host the Prairie Outlaws at 8:30 p.m.

Progression in the wrong direction for Blades INSIDE EDGE It was a los(s)t week for the Saskatoon Blades.

Four games in five nights turned into four losses – each one worse than the previous one, at least in terms of the final score – extending the Bridge City Bunch’s winless streak to five games. In addition, the negative run has plummeted them from being part of a tie for sixth place in the Eastern Conference to 10th spot all to themselves – three points out of a playoff spot.

“Not to make excuses, but we’ve had a tough go of it here lately with the schedule and all the games and the travel,” said assistant coach Curtis Leschyshyn.

Only Moose Jaw (27 games played), Swift Current and Prince George (tied with the Blades) have played as many as the 26 games the “Double Blue” have participated in. At the other end of the spectrum, the computerized schedule has only had the Kelowna Rockets play 19 games going into this week – at least three games fewer than

LES LAZARUK

any other WHL rival.

Following a 4-3 overtime setback to visiting Moose Jaw on Saturday, November 9, Saskatoon has dropped decisions of, in order, 4-1 in Prince Albert, 5-2 to Brandon, 6-2 at Brandon and 6-1 this past Saturday to the Kootenay Ice who were at the end of a four-game road trip.

As you read this, the Bridge City Bunch have not played since the Kootenay loss and won’t until a Friday home game against Lethbridge.

“It allows us to get some quality practice time,” explained Leschyhsyn. “We’ve been playing so many games here, and with not much rest, that we haven’t

had a lot of time to work on specific things that we want to do as a team – whether it be a system or a power play or penalty killing.

“Hopefully we can re-energize the batteries and, hopefully, when we come to play Lethbridge (on Friday), we’ll be able to have all guns a-blazin’.”

Those “guns” have gone silent in the meantime! ***** BLADES PLAYER OF THE WEEK – This writer’s choice award isn’t one to be extremely happy about. In an 0-4-0 week, when only six goals were scored and 21 were surrendered by the “Double Blue”, the lone consolation was the play of

No one could write a better Grey Cup script The stage is set for the greatest Grey Cup ever.

You don’t even have to be a fan of the Saskatchewan Roughriders or Hamilton Tiger-Cats to realize the 101st Grey Cup at Regina’s Mosaic Stadium this Sunday is the greatest match-up in league history. However, to get there the Riders had to get past the Stampeders in Calgary in Sunday’s CFL West Division Final.

Did they ever!

The green guys clubbed their top rival 35-13 and the score actually flattered the home team.

A blocked field goal and a fumble on the goal line in the first half left 10 points on the field for the Riders but in the end it didn’t matter.

Complete domination.

The Stampeders never even gave themselves a chance by committing seven turnovers and only taking the ball away once.

“It’s so surreal for us to win here,” said Rider coach Corey Chamblin, whose team led 7-6, 22-6 and 22-13 by quarters.

“My biggest goal since leaving Calgary was to be able to win here.

We finally did and it’s an unbelievable feeling. We went through some ups and downs but our team didn’t waiver.

The coaches and players didn’t and we’re right where we need to be.”

I don’t know why, but it was very clear to me the Riders and Ticats were on a collision course for the 2013 Grey Cup as far back as last December when Hamilton hired Kent Austin as coach and GM. They advanced to this championship game by beating the Ar-

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN

gonauts 36-24 in Toronto in the East Final.

Much will be written and said during Grey Cup Week about Austin and fellow former Riders Henry Burris, Andy Fantuz, Luca Congi and Eric Tillman coming into Regina to finish the job.

However according to the Riders, that’s only important to the media and fans.

“This is good for the storylines and the media but for me it’s all about getting that Cup, man,” said a relieved Rider quarterback Darian Durant after the West Final.

“2009 was heartbreaking and 2010 was hard. We gotta get this one.”

For Rider President Jim Hopson, who oversaw and consented all of the team’s personnel moves over the past 11 months – some controversial – it’s all paid off.

“Everything we did this year was geared to this,” Hopson revealed. “We put a lot of pressure on ourselves saying if we didn’t make it to the Grey Cup it would be a disappointment.

“But it’s not over. I thought B.C. was our biggest challenge, honestly. I feel good but we’ve got one more game to play.”

The match-up is mind-blowing. The drama is over-thetop. It’s going to be the longest, short week of our lives

in anticipation of Sunday’s kickoff.

The game itself is scintillating, but the festival itself will be the greatest-ever long before Sunday. Rider legends like Bobby Jurasin and Jeff Fairholm are coming back for the festivities to join the likes of George Reed, Don Narcisse, Roger Aldag, Dan Rashovich and all the others who make their home here.

Austin, too, of course, but he’ll be clad in black and gold and intent on spoiling the party.

“I can’t put into words what it will be like with Kent coming back,” Hopson smiled. “It’s going to be a great week.”

Although I had the premonition of a Saskatchewan-Hamilton Grey Cup, it stopped short of predicting the winner. It’s like being woken up near the end of the best dream you ever had!

And now the Riders, who beat Hamilton in both regular season meetings, have to quickly turn the page from the elation of being Western Division champs to the realization that there’s still a huge obstacle in the way of their fourth Grey Cup title in franchise history.

However, for now, they can relish in the accomplishment.

“We’re in it baby!” screamed Chamblin.

Vipers take two at home Sask Valley won’t let complacency set in

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Sask Valley Vipers added two more wins to their impressive 13-game unbeaten streak with a 9-4 thrashing of the Regina Monarchs Saturday, November 16 and a 5-2 victory over the West Central Wheat Kings November 17.

Vipers head coach Shaun Priel said the score didn’t indicate the physicality of the game with the Monarchs.

“They were big and they finished every check,”said Priel. “I mean our guys being the stature that they are took a few extra hits that caused us to raise our game to battle against them.”

And battle they did. In the first half of the opening period the Monarchs scored twice, leaving the Vipers to play catchup.

The Vipers responded with two of their own to close out the period with goals by Cole Shrimpton and Jared Hamm.

Matthew Conlon’s marker early in the second gave the Vipers a short lived lead until Regina roared back midway though the period to tie the game 3-3.

When the Monarchs’ goaltender got injured on a play, the Vipers gave the replacement goaltender an unpleasant welcome when they scored four consecutive goals in the second period and added two more in the third to give them a commanding 8-4 lead.

The Monarchs fought back with one more tally but the damage was already done as the Vipers skated off with a 9-4 win.

In total, the Vipers had goals

from seven different scorers in the game. Cole Shrimpton led the scoring with two goals and three assists followed by Ben Thorpe who scored two goals, and Jordan Thorpe and Jared Hamm, who each had a goal and an assist.

During Sunday’s contest against Northern Division rival the West Central Wheat Kings, the Vipers’ battered bodies from the previous game were obvious with their slow start, but they quickly made up for it as the game progressed.

“It was a bit of a battle out there and we had to try and shake off some rust and battle through some adversity to get some positive things going,” said Priel.

In this game the Vipers scored two identical low slot goals by Chance Adrian and Jared Hamm to take an early 2-0 lead in the opening period. The Wheat Kings cut the Vipers lead down to one when Brett Neumeier deflected a point shot into the net.

In the second period, the Vipers Matthew Conlon rushed the net and got a lucky rebound bounce off the low boards behind the net to increase the Vipers’ lead to 3-1.

Less then two minutes later Vipers veteran Benson Thorpe while blazing down the left wing blasted a hard shot to add one more to the score sheet for a 4-1 score.

In the third stanza, the Vipers Tylin Cameron closed off scoring for his team with a slap shot from the point to make it 5-1.

The Wheat Kings were not going to go out without a fight .

After a time out at 7:40 minute mark, Ashton Bast scored

on a low shot 40 seconds later.

Bast corralled a pass from the high slot toward the net which was deflected past Vipers goaltender Jake Davidson.

Priel said he would never have predicted his team to be playing so well, so early in the season.

“We got some kids that can put the puck in the net that maybe have scored more goals than I would have expected early on,” he said.

Priel added that his team’s depth and having two of the best goaltenders in the league in Jake Davidson and Joel Grzybowski are just some of the reasons why the team has done so well.

The important lesson he stresses to his players is not to get complacent, and to always respect opposing teams regardless of their place in league standings.

“We tell our kids to respect the other team because if you don’t respect the other team at any game at this level you are going to lose,” he said.

“You have to compete at your best every night and we look for consistency every night.”

The only other undefeated team in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League is the Prairie Storm, who have a 11-0 record in the league’s Southern Division.

The Vipers defeated the Prairie Storm 4-1 during the Graham Tuer Tournament in Regina October 31 to November 1.

The next game for the Vipers will come against the Saskatoon Manics, November 23 at Warman’s Legends Centre.

Shellbrook Elks take pair against dalmeny fury

Sweet Coverage

Brock Fitch of the Shellbrook Elks takes a swipe at a bouncing puck while Dalmeny Fury defenseman Joel Cardinal-Schultz and goaltender Kyle Yarskie try to steer it away during FCHL action in Dalmeny on Friday, November 15.

Shellbrook took both games of a home-and-home series against the Dalmeny Fury last weekend.

The Elks dominated the Fury on Friday, November 15 in Dalmeny, winning by a score of 11-3. But it was much closer the next night in Shellbrook, when the Elks won 5-3. Dalmeny’s next home game is Friday, November 22.

Warman Pee Wee Wildcats building provincial team

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Wildcats Pee Wee Tier II team is hoping to take another successful run at the provincial championship.

The Wildcats won the provincial crown last season after a particularly tough final playoff series against Lampman.

But this year, it’s going to be virtually a whole new team, with only two players potentialy returning to the squad.

Kevin Martens, who was named as the provincial team coach last week, says there has been a lot of turnover as older players graduate to Bantam and others move up to play Pee Wee AA. There are also lot of very good players coming into the Pee Wee age group who are hoping to make the team.

“We have tryouts on Sunday, November 17, followed by another tryout session on Wednesday, November 20 and a final evaluation on Sunday, November 23,” said Martens.

“It’s going to be a tough decision when it comes to making up the final roster. There are a lot of talented young hockey players in the ranks.”

Warman has two Pee Wee Tier 2 teams, and the provincial squad consists of players from both those teams. Martens, who coaches one of those teams during the regular minor hockey season, was provincial assistant coach last season.

“The best part of coaching kids at the pee wee age is that you see them have fun and improve their skills on the ice,” said Martens in an interview.

“They also mature as individuals, and bond together as a team. I think the program really improves their hockey leadership skills, and the players benefit from that.”

Martens said having parents support the program is also a key ingredient in a successful team.

“We had a great group of parents last year, and we have another great group this year,” he said.

Martens said while last year’s championship was a feather in the cap for Warman,

Dundurn earns first victory of season against St. Brieux

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Dundurn Wheatkings earned their first home win of the season with a 4-3 nail biter over the St. Brieux Nordiques, November 16.

Heading into the game Wheatkings coach Richie Seaward knew his team would have their work cut out for them.

“They are a quick team and like to stretch pass. When they get their feet moving they are hard to slow down,” said Seaward.

In the Wheatkings’ previ-

ous game against Lake Lenore, Dundurn got plenty of shots but little to show for their effort on the score sheet.

The Wheatkings rectified that problem against the Nordiques.

The Wheatkings scored their first goal when defenceman Brodie Busby beat St. Brieux netminder Brody Kunz on a pass that was centered from behind the net to put the Wheatkings up 1-0.

Dundurn increased their lead less than eight minutes later when Darcy Schroeder corralled a shot from the point to

put the Wheatkings up 2-0.

The Nordiques used their speed to their advantage in the second period when Justin Blechinger put his stick down in time to deflect a shot past Dundurn goaltender John Hamlin on a quick no-look pass that was swiped out of the corner on a “crash the net” style play.

The boys in red and blue were not going to let the Nordiques capatalize on any more opportunities. The Wheatkings aggressive push to the net allowed forwards Shane Mason and Russell Robson to increase the lead to 4-1 late in the second

UNSETTLING THE WEST: Book blends mythology, landscape and history Award-winning author Candace Savage visits Dalmeny Library

By HILARY KLASSEN

hilarylklassen@gmail.com

“Do you suppose it’s really true that what you don’t know can’t hurt you?”

This is the question that haunts the book, A Geography of Blood: Unearthing Memory from a Prairie Landscape, says the author, Candace Savage. The question resonated with all who attended her recent author reading in Dalmeny. Savage is the author of over two dozen books including Prairie: A Natural History which was named book of the year at the Saskatchewan Book Awards.

A Geography of Blood is a stunning work that won the Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction in 2012, a $60,000 prize. It begins when Savage and her partner of 20 years Keith Bell, take a road trip to Cody, Wyoming, and it lands in Eastend, Saskatchewan. When their vehicle breaks down three times and they’re towed to Eastend three times, it gets their attention and they stay for a while. The next year they buy a house there, not really knowing why at the time. “You can never tell how you’re making meaning in your life,” Savage said.

The decision meant she was ideally placed to listen to the landscape of Eastend and the Cypress Hills, and tell a shocking new version of the plains history. The Cody trip was partly research. “Buffalo Bill Cody was one of the people who mythologized the history of the west in the first place,” she said. Savage takes the reader on a journey of dis-

covery of the natural wonders of southwestern Saskatchewan. At the same time, it’s a discovery of “the unsettling of the land in order that settlement could take place.”

Savage says her story has a “heart of darkness.” It’s a story that has been hiding out in the open, available for anyone to discover. “But we obviously don’t want to know it.” She concluded that the only way to get people to travel with her into the story was to be an interesting and charming travel guide. “For the first time, I became first person narrator and put myself in the frame. I wanted to make it possible for more people to acknowledge that experience, what happened in the Cypress Hills between the incoming authority of Canada and the indigenous peoples in the 1870s and 1880s. We were going to have a good time traveling together and then we were going to trip over these things that we really didn’t want to know and together we could begin to respond to it,” she said.

Some truly exceptional prose enlivens the journey. Like this: “About an hour past Grass Range, U.S. Route 191 flows down into the broad sculpted valley of the Missouri River, we walk the dogs to the silvery, high-pitched clatter of the cottonwood leaves.” Or this: “Breathe in and fill your lungs with reassurance, breathe out and exhale your grief. Give yourself permission to walk in beauty.”

Savage met Bell through an ad he placed in the personal column of the Saskatoon Star Phoenix. This was before match.com and its counterparts. She’s still joyful about

A Geography of Blood helps us see “up close” a history revealed in a different light.

What do we do with that light?

“It seems to me really important that we change the frame of the settlement story, of our origin story, so that we acknowledge what it’s all built on,” said Savage. “It’s still all around us, the ecological destruction is still happening. The people who were displaced are still suffering, so it’s not over. The heart of darkness belongs to us all.”

Edna and Art Zacharias of Osler have seen the worst that Mother Nature can throw at a community.

But they’ve also seen and experienced humanity at its best.

The retired couple are among hundreds of volunteers with Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) who work to help rebuild communities throughout North America that have been devastated by fires, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. They’ve worked on projects in New Orleans, Texas, North Dakota and New York City.

And with recent flooding in Calgary and fires in Colorado, they expect they’ll be packing their bags for those destinations in the near future.

BUILDING HOPE Mennonite Disaster Service volunteers work to rebuild communities in the wake of devastating fires, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

It’s a challenging mission, but it’s also very rewarding, said Art Zacharias.

“It’s all about giving people hope,” he said. “When a disaster happens and it’s all over the news, everyone’s attention is focused on that disaster. Like when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans a few years ago. But the cleanup effort is just the beginning.

The real hard part is the rebuilding. If you’ve lost everything and you have to start from scratch, it can be very depressing. Especially if your community is gone.”

Most MDS volunteers, who come from across North America, generally stay about a week at a project site, contributing their labour to rebuild homes for people who are uninsured

or under-insured and have little or no money.

But Edna and Art stay longer than most. They are “team leaders” who will typically spend a month at a location where MDS has a reconstruction project underway. Their job is to cook for the volunteers. With as many as 20 to 30 people to cook for every week, it can be a formidable task.

Earlier this year, they did a monthlong stint in New York, cooking for crews of MDS volunteers helping to rebuild an area of the city levelled by Hurricane Sandy.

Volunteering is nothing new for the couple, who have worked in numerous organizations and committees in their home community for decades while raising their family and working on their farm.

Art, who is also a journeyman electrician, is also still in demand as a local handyman. Edna is President of the seniors committee which operates the Osler Pioneers hall.

But after retiring, they felt they wanted to volunteer further from home while they are still able to travel and enjoy good health.

“We’ve seen a lot of North America,” said Art. “It’s definitely been a good experience.”

Art said MDS works with a local recovery committee and targets efforts to those underprivileged people who “fall between the cracks”.

Edna said there are many touching stories of people who have had their faith in humanity restored after MDS and other agenices like the Red Cross have stepped in to help.

She said even the smallest gestures can make a huge difference in the lives of disaster victims.

“One of my friends, who is a cook with MDS, told me of one incident in the southern United States,” said Edna. “She was getting the supplies she needed for the week at a local store, and was going through the checkout with about $800 worth of groceries, and then she also had one

small purchase for herself that she paid for out of her own change. As she was counting out the coins, she had a Canadian penny mixed in with the American coins, and the cashier saw it and asked if she could have the penny.

“It turned out the cashier had lost her home and everything she had in the disaster, and she and her husband were trying to get back on their feet. She took this job as a cashier.

When she saw the Canadian penny, she remembered that her husband used to have a coin collection. So she thought, if she could have that Canadian penny, she could get him started on a new coin collection.

“So my friend emptied her change purse and gave the cashier all the Canadian coins she had, including all her toonies and loonies and nickels, dimes and quarters. The cashier cried and came from behind the counter and gave her a big hug.

“That’s the kind of thing that makes it all worthwhile,” she said.

Aberdeen community gathering raises funds for MDS, MCC relief and reconstruction efforts

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

There wasn’t an empty chair in the Aberdeen Hall on Wednesday, October 30, as hundreds of people turned out for a fundraising supper for the Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) and Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).

And it wasn’t just the traditional Mennonite fare that attracted the big crowd this year - and every year since the tradition started over 30 years ago.

“It may be a Mennonite venture, but it’s certainly supported by the whole community,” said Pastor Vern Ratzlaff of the Aberdeen Mennonite Church, the congregation that organizes the fundraising event. “This kind of humanitarian endeavour crosses boundaries. Hunger doesn’t know any confessional limitations.”

The MDS is a “volunteer network through which vari-

ous constituencies of the Anabaptist church can respond to those affected by disasters in Canada and the United States,” according to the MDS website. (www.mds.mennonite.net) “While our main focus is on clean up, repair and rebuilding homes (owner-occupied), this activity becomes a means of touching lives and helping people regain faith and wholeness.

“MDS helps the most vulnerable, the elderly, the handicapped, single parents, the unmeployed, the uninsured and the underinsured,” states the MDS website. “Our focus is on helping those who are not covered by traditional means of recovery.” Ratzlaff said the annual Aberdeen fundraising supper usually gathers in about $5,000 in donations to MCC relief projects and MDS reconstruction efforts.

“We used to have a $20 admission fee, but we dropped

that, and that really helped increase the amount of money we brought in,” said Ratzlaff. “This community is very generous. There’s a lot of people here that I don’t see on Sunday morning in church. But at times like this everyone comes together.”

Ratzlaff said planning for the annual event starts a year in advance. Julie Martens, a member of the Aberdeen Mennonite Church congregation, has worked for many years organizing the kitchen crew and food preparation for the event. She said while it’s a lot of work, it is rewarding, especially when so many people volunteer their time and labour so freely.

Claire Ewert Fisher, MCC Executive-Director, told the people at the fundraising supper that MCC works in 50 countries around the world.

“We do disaster response,” Ewert Fisher said. “We are

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Residents of Aberdeen and area enjoy traditional Mennonite fare at a fundraising supper sending material resources, including blankets and relief kits to Jordan in response to the needs of Syrian refugees. Your donations tonight help make that possible.”

She said the MCC is also involved in community development, agricultural and peace-

building projects.

Ike Epp, Chair of the MDS in Saskatchewan, said reconstruction is currently beginning on homes in High River, Alberta, which was hit by massive flooding last summer.

“On January 13, funds will be going to provide food and

lodging for volunteers who come to work on that project,” said Epp. “If you want a break from your vocation – one with a difference – pick up the phone, call our Winnipeg office at 1-866-261-1274 and see if they have room for you the week you are available.”

It is with mixed emotions we announce that Chopsticks Asian Cuisine has been sold to a new owner.

Mr. Ivan Ly and his family have taken possession of Chopsticks effective Friday November 15, 2013.

Thank You ! es i r o m e M

~ Andy, Sam & Jane Yuen

for t he

We thank everyone from Warman and district for the opportunity to serve you over the past 6 years. We have managed to sell more than 200,000 chicken balls, 30,000 spring rolls, thousands of noodle bowls and chicken fried rice - it has been nothing short of a spectacular ride. We like to think that we have accomplished our goals: 1. To serve Warman and surrounding area honest Asian and Canadian Asian food with no artificial M.S.G. and at a reasonable price; and 2. to help Sam and Jane to further retirement savings We all will miss our regular customers and friends who we have an amazing relationship with. It is not an easy decision, but as Sam just turned 68 last month, it’s time for him to take a step back and ease the workload and the commute. We hope you appreciated that Sam and Jane worked 13 hours a day, 6 days a week for the past 6 years.

We also want to thank our past and present staff members, especially our current chef, Jackie and his wife Rebecca.

Jackie is a great chef with an amazing demeanor in a hectic environment. We also want to thank Uncle Leo who helped us by delaying his retirement; Ms. Toy, Chef Alan Tang, Lena, Crystal, Sandy, Danielle, Kyla, Brandon and Ashley as well as

the other staff who have helped us. We would not be able to serve Warman without the help and dedication of these fine people!

Going forward, we congratulate Ivan for taking over Chopsticks and he and his family will continue the success of delivering quality Asian food. Ivan started his cooking career in 2000 when he was a cook in Vietnam, from 2002-07 he went to Norway and studied Japanese Cuisine, and then moved back to Vietnam cooking Asian food. In 2009, Ivan immigrated to Saskatoon and since worked at various Saskatoon restaurants including “Fong’s Kitchen”, “Go for Sushi” and “Nagoya”. Ivan, his wife Icy and his family plan to move to Warman as soon as possible. Sam, Jane and chef Jackie will stay to help Ivan until December to ensure that he will be successful. Warman and district, we sincerely hope that you will embrace Ivan and his family just as you have to us.

Thanks again for everything!

Sincerely,

Andy, Sam & Jane Yuen Chopsticks Asian Cuisine

Warman Plaza Dine-In or Take-Out

A brief history of the Yuens and Chopsticks Asian Cuisine In March 1996, Sam, Jane and Andy Yuen moved from Hong Kong to Wynyard, SK with less than $500 cash in Sam’s pocket.

Their goals to immigrate to Canada were to stay and work with Sam’s brother, Leo at the Man Yuen Restaurant (Wynyard) and learn the ropes about the restaurant business; stay closer to grandma, while providing Andy an opportunity to further his post-secondary education. In 1998, Sam, Jane and Andy moved to Lanigan SK and operated the Lanigan Café. Eventually, Andy moved to Saskatoon to attend the U of S; Sam and Jane sold the Lanigan Café and moved to Saskatoon in 2004, working at various restaurants including the Asian Garden, Manchu Wok, Tasi King Lau, and Ming’s Kitchen.

In 2005, Andy graduated from the U of S in civil engineering and

economics and was working in Saskatoon. Looking to further their retirement savings, Sam and Jane were looking for opportunities to buy and operate a restaurant. In 2006, Andy came to Warman the first time to visit a co-worker, Lindsay Hull and her first child, Jackson Hull. It was then that Andy realized that Warman did not have a Chinese/Asian restaurant. Andy took Sam and Jane on a trip to Warman and asked them the question: With a population of 6,000, how could Warman not have an Asian restaurant? It was with this idea in mind, Sam, Jane and Andy converted what used to be a flower shop space into Chopsticks Asian Cuisine. Chopsticks has been operating since November 13, 2007 and fulfills two purposes: To serve Warman and surrounding area honest Asian food with no M.S.G. and at a reasonable price; and to help Sam and Jane to further their retirement savings.

Feds allocate $2 billion in gas tax funds for municipal infrastructure projects The Government of Canada is making available the second installment of its annual $2-billion federal Gas Tax Fund allocation for municipal infrastructure, bringing Saskatchewan’s total allocation this year to close to $56.1 million.

The announcement was made November 14 by Gerry Ritz, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Regional Minister for Saskatchewan.

“These ongoing investments through the federal Gas Tax Fund transfer are helping Saskatchewan’s communities address their local infrastructure priorities,” said Minister Ritz.

“Our Government is proud to continue to support infrastructure projects that create jobs, promote productivity and support economic growth.”

Canada’s Gas Tax Fund provides predictable, long-term funding for Canadian municipalities to help them build and revitalize their local infrastructure while creating jobs and

long-term prosperity. Funding is provided up front, twice a year to the Government of Saskatchewan which delivers this funding within Saskatchewan. Projects are chosen locally and prioritized according to the infrastructure needs of each community. Municipalities can pool, bank and borrow against this funding, providing significant financial flexibility.

To date, close to $371.9 million has been made available to Saskatchewan under the current Gas Tax Fund.

The Gas Tax Fund has funded numerous initiatives across Saskatchewan that support water and wastewater infrastructure, local roads, public transit, solid waste, community energy systems, active transportation and capacity building.

The Government of Canada has extended, doubled, indexed and made permanent the Gas Tax Fund. These improvements will see Canada’s Gas Tax Fund grow from its current $2 billion per year while provid-

New marina, cabin rental development slated for Blackstrap Provincial Park Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty announced recently that agreements have been reached that will see an estimated $2.6 million of private investment in Blackstrap Provincial Park.

Agreements with two separate companies are now in place that will see the construction of a new marina and rental cabins at Blackstrap.

“Our province continues to grow and our provincial parks are more popular than ever,” Doherty said. “In fact, a new attendance record was set this year. Private investments like these help to enhance the diversity of services available at our parks. We are very pleased to enter long-term agreements with both parties and know that this will help to provide guests with the best possible park experience.”

An agreement has been reached with Blackstrap Marina Corp which involves the development and operation of a 190 slip inland marina at Blackstrap Provincial Park.

The marina will offer multiyear, annual and daily slip rentals to the public. It will also offer marine fuel service, a boat launch and vehicle/trailer parking.

A second agreement has been reached with Waterfront Developments Ltd., who will develop and operate 12 new rental accommodation cabins.

These cabins will be fullyfurnished year-round units.

Rental accommodations are in high demand and this development will enable more visitors to take advantage of the recreation opportunities at Blackstrap Provincial Park.

“Together with Saskatchewan provincial parks, we are working toward giving boaters a home in one of the province’s most accessible and beautiful locales,” Blackstrap Marina Corp Director Craig Pollack said.

“We are delighted to be building what promises to be one of western Canada’s premiere marinas at Blackstrap Provincial Park.”

Construction for these two initiatives will begin as soon as possible. In addition to these two private developments, the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport is in the planning stages for a new serviced campground for Blackstrap Provincial Park.

It is anticipated the campground design and development will occur over the next two years.

Government continues to focus on improving Saskatchewan’s provincial parks.

Private investments such as these help to create high quality experiences for our visitors and will enhance their enjoyment of this park.

In addition to facilitating partnerships like this, government has invested $44 million over the last five years to improve Saskatchewan’s provincial parks.

ing provinces and municipalities with predictable funding to deliver on local infrastructure priorities.

The federal Gas Tax Fund makes capital investments in important community infrastructure. Eligible investments currently include water, wastewater and solid waste infrastructure, public transit, community energy systems, local roads and bridges, and capacity building. It provides predictable, stable funding, allowing municipalities to choose and plan the infrastructure priorities in their community.

Through the Gas Tax Fund, municipalities across Saskatchewan have benefited from close to $371.9 million in predictable and flexible funding for local priorities since the program began. The Government of Saskatchewan administers the program on behalf of its municipalities.

The Gas Tax Fund is providing Saskatchewanians with sta-

ble funding that will have a tangible impact on their quality of life and the long-term sustainability of their communities. The Gas Tax Fund has provided funding towards various projects, including: -- The installation of an ultraviolet light disinfection system in Prince Albert’s water treatment plant, providing 40,000 residents with a safer, cleaner water supply, and reducing longterm operating costs.

-- A new recycling facility for the rural Municipality of Ituna Bon Accord and the neighbouring Village of Lestock, who pooled their funds to reduce the volume of solid waste being directed to the local dump by providing residents and businesses with additional disposal options.

- The replacement of water mains and a lift station in Melfort, improving the safety and reliability of its water distribution system

On the weekend of Oct 31 – Nov 2, Bethany College Fall Theatre presented Joseph Robinette’s dramatization of C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Over the three days, 1470 guests joined over 30 cast and crew in stepping through a wardrobe and into Narnia – a kingdom of talking animals and mythical creatures stuck in a never-ending winter without Christmas, awaiting the return of the true king.

A total of 1470 guests joined over 30 cast and crew in stepping through a wardrobe and into Narnia.

Prior to the show, guests had the choice of savoring a delicious “White Queen Vanilla Cake” or a “Chocolate Faun Cake” with fruit and topping prepared by Bethany’s food ser-

vice staff. Adding a regular coffee, tea or a specialty coffee from Cultura Espresso Bar completed a fabulous evening of great dessert and great drama.

All guests were treated to a captivating night of theatre as the combination of creative lighting, haunting live music, an amazing set, and superb acting brought the allegorical fairy tale to life.

Elaborate costumes, masks and detailed make-up turned the actors and actresses into the creatures of Narnia: lions, beavers, fauns, centaurs, unicorns, wolves and woodnymphs.

One could not help but be drawn in through the wardrobe by the four main characters and into the adventure that awaited them on the other side.

There they learned the value of family, faithfulness, loyalty, and sacrifice and the audience caught a glimpse of God’s for-

giveness, humility, and His love for all created things.

The performance was Bethany’s way of marking the 50th anniversary of the death of C.S. Lewis.

Widely recognized as one of the most influential spokesmen for Christianity in the world, Lewis presented the Christian message through various creative genres – fantasy, allegory, science fiction, and apologetics.

The Chronicles of Narnia series of books, of which “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” was the first published, opened a window to an alternate reality in which readers are invited to view the Biblical narrative of creation, fall, and redemption in a new light.

See our website under News and Events / Fall Theatre for more photos of the elaborate colors, costumes, make-up, and masks prepared for this production (www.bethany.sk.ca).

Province posts strong manufacturing sales September’s manufacturing sales numbers are the strongest of 2013, according to a new report from Statistics Canada.

The province saw a 9.0 per cent increase over August 2013, totalling $1.3 billion.

This was a record-breaking month for sales and landed Saskatchewan in second place among the provinces.

“This is great news that can be traced back to our economy and the strength that continues to build in our manufacturing sector,” Economy Minister

Bill Boyd said. “At Agritechnica in Germany, I’m seeing firsthand the level of interest in our products, and more specifically our agricultural implements.

Saskatchewan manufacturers have certainly set a standard in Canada and around the world and we should be very proud of that.”

On a yearly basis, Saskatchewan’s manufacturing sales jumped 10.5 per cent.

Machinery manufacturing increased over that same period of time, growing 7.4 per cent

and totalling $147.9 million. Agricultural machinery also experienced a boost, up 22.3 per cent over September 2012.

“These strong September numbers mean that the remaining months of 2013 hold a lot of promise in this sector,” Boyd said.

“Saskatchewan manufacturers aren’t just filling the demand that exists in the global marketplace – here at home, they are also helping to fill jobs, create opportunities and keep moving this province forward.”

Wheatkings build momentum side play that should have been whistled down.

Wheatkings’ goaltender Johnathan Hamlin threw up his arms towards officials when St.Brieux floated the puck at snail speed into the net, but it still counted.

Seaward said he never received an explanation by officials about the goal.

“The only thing I can think of is my players thought the play was dead,” he said.

Halfway through the third period the Nordiques made the game interesting when Nordiques forward Derek Schemenauer beat Hamlin on a shot that originally went wide. However, the puck bounced back off the end boards, leaving a juicy rebound for Schemenauer.

The Nordiques kept pressing for the tie and pulled their goaltender with 40 seconds re-

maining on the clock, but failed to score the equalizer.

Seaward said he was happy with his team’s win.

“Our win is no less than what we deserve.

We played really, really well,” he said. “Again we got into penalty trouble but we pulled through. We killed them against a tough team.”

The Wheatkings will travel to Craik to play the Warriors on Friday. November 22 and Imperial Saturday, November 23 to take on the Sabres.

Seaward said it will be real test for his team to defeat the Sabres.

“Winning in their barn would be huge. The guys welcome the challenge. I expect something good will come out of it,” said Seaward.

The Borden School Book Fair was held November 13, with parents of K- Grade 6 having a free hot dog lunch with their children, then the students had a short program. Kindergarten and Grade 1 told about books to read and Grade 2 and 4 and Grades 5 and 6 had poems or stories on why you should read books and go to the library. The students could then browse and pick up books, posters and pencils that they would like to buy and read. Danika Pidwerbesky won $25 for the Grade 7 and 8 rom and the overall sales were over $1500, which allowed the school to make $800 on the event. Before and after the program Avery Fairbrother played guitar and sang to entertain the students and guests.

Health care workers urged to get flu shots Saskatchewan health care providers are being strongly encouraged to get an influenza immunization or choose to wear a mask while delivering care and services to patients during flu season.

Provincial health system partners have issued a position statement on the issue, signed

by Health Minister Dustin Duncan, CEOs from health regions and the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, the Saskatchewan Med-

ical Association (SMA) and the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses Association (SRNA). The statement underscores the importance of health care providers taking action to protect patients and themselves from the potentially significant effects of influenza.

“In the interests of patient safety, we strongly encourage all physicians, nurses and other workers in our health care system to receive an annual in-

fluenza immunization, or that they wear a mask while working in patient care areas during flu season,” Prairie North Health Region CEO David Fan said on behalf of all CEOs. “Patient safety is our first priority, and this is one simple way that we can continue to put our patients first,” Duncan said.

“We need to make every effort to prevent the spread of influenza for the sake of patients and staff in our health facilities.”

Saskatoon regional economy hottest in Canada, outlook remains bright

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Saskatoon metropolitan region has the healthiest economic growth in the country, according to Mario Lefebvre, Director of the Centre for Municipal Studies with the Conference Board of Canada.

In fact, says Lefebvre, the economic climate in the Saskatoon region far outshines virtually every country in the world.

In a speech to the Saskatoon Regional Economic Developmpent Authority (SREDA) Fall Economic Forum in Saskatoon on Thursday, November 14, Lefebvre said the regional economy in the Saskatoon area is on track to grow by 5.2 per cent in 2013.

On average, he said, most countries in the world have economies that are growing at between 2 or 3 per cent annually. Even China’s powerhouse economy, with a growth rate of 6 per cent, is comparable to Saskatchewan’s rate.

Lefebvre also pointed out that job growth in the Saskatoon region has been stellar over the past two years. In 2012, he noted, employment grew by 4.7 per cent. He said the low unemployment rate in the region has created labour shortages in some areas, and warned that upward

pressure on wages could lead to inflation.

“If you are an area that has higher inflation than the rest of the country, that creates some challenges,” he said. “People may be reluctant to come to a place where the cost of living is higher.”

Still, the vibrant job market is attracting many newcomers to the region. According to Lefebvre, population growth in the region has averaged 2.7 per cent annually.

“That’s almost triple the national average of 1.3 per cent per year,” he said. “That kind of population growth has led to economic diversifcation and also created jobs and attracted investment.

The challenge, however, is to sustain the kind of growth you’re experiencing.”

Lefebvre said the Saskatoon regional economy has been steadily expanding at a fast pace for the past decade.

The only minor setback, noted Lefebvre, was in 2009 when the US housing market crash dragged the rest of the North American economy down with it. Saskatchewan’s reliance on resources and commodities, however, helped keep the provincial economy bouyant.

Lefebvre said housing starts are expected to dip in Saskatoon this year, but will bounce back

(306) 955-9686

proud banner

in 2014.

“The housing market in Saskatoon is still very strong,” said Lefebvre. “There were about 3,000 housing starts.

That’s the new norm, but it’s almost triple the old reality of a decade ago, and it’s all thanks to population growth. We can count on construction output to remain strong because we’re going to need additional infrastructure and services.”

While the growth in residential and commercial construction is slightly lower in the City of Saskatoon, that’s not the case in Warman, where 208 permits were issued for single-family dwellings between January 1 and October 24, 2013.

SREDA President and CEO Tim LeClair said he was encouraged by Lefebvre’s presentation.

“What we heard today from Mario is very encouraging, but inherent in his comments is our need to continually challenge the status quo - as there are always risks to the growth story,” he said. “We really do need to focus on business growth, expansion and the attraction of new capital in the region and the province. In addition, we view the diversification of our core sectors into new business activities and opportunities as mitigation of the commodity risk we continue to face.”

Bryan Warman of Charlotte, South Carolina, proudly flies the City of Warman “Battle Flag”from the headstay of his sailboat earlier this fall while at anchor following a sailing regatta on the Atlantic coast. Bryan Warman, a grandson of Cyrus Warman, the author and journalist after whom the City of Warman is named, was a guest of honour at Warman’s City Celebration in October, 2012. He was presented with the flag at that time.

Innovative family entertainment centre slated to open in Warman next spring

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Kids in Warman will have a new option to stay active and have fun when CJ’s Climb and Play opens its doors to the public on March 1.

The new family entertainment centre will be similar to the Fun Factory or the Giggle Factory establishments, which combine play structures and a comfortable seating area for parents.

Laura Leorenchuk, co-owner of CJ’s Climb and Play explained that their establishment will be located in a 5,000 square foot location next to OK Tire on Main Street.

The play structure will be a feature in itself, said Leorenchuk, which is 26x 56x 16. A lot larger than what you would see at similar establishments in Saskatoon, she said.

A preview of the play structure that will be part of CJ’s Climb and Play family entertainment centre in Warman. The facility is scheduled to be open to the public March 1, 2014.

The seating area will be smaller and more intimate so parents can connect and get to know one another, said Leorenchuk.

“It is more for children who like to play, run and be active,

but for parents to be cosy,” she said. “Rather than have concession type seating it will be more living room type seating.”

In Saskatoon, Leorenchuk owns a preschool, as well as a Prekindergarten and After

School Program, which runs out of Prince Phillip Elementary School.

She believes that her experience working with kids and building a relationship with parents provides her with a lot

of knowledge on what parents want in a family entertainment centre.

“I see a huge number of parents coming in and out of our preschool on a daily basis. I know what the demands are,” She said. “When parents know their kids are active and safe it makes them happy.”

The facility will cater to kids from birth up to 12 years. It will feature a concession that will include hotdogs, fresh bakery goods, and a variety of coffee, cappuccino and cold beverages.

There will be opportunities for parents and corporations to host birthday, Halloween, Christmas parties and other events that revolve around the school days and holidays.

Right now, the new facilities play structure is being custom built in British Columbia by a company who specializes

in building playground structures, said Leorenchuk.

“Orca Coast Playground Ltd manufacture everything right inside their place,” said Leorenchuk. “We’re in contact with their designers so they can custom design it for our space.”

Leorenchuk said adding a family centred facility to the City of Warman was something her family thought about doing for a long time.

“We are very excited to get this going,” she said. “Our kids are very involved. The name CJ’s comes from our two kids Chris and Janea.”

SAS has special meaning for Martensville boutique owners tensville, Warman, Saskatoon and surrounding areas.

A lot of the boutique’s business comes from giftware and home decor, and weddings, which has tripled in volume the last few years, said Helperi.

The most popular selling item has been jewelry.

Growing up in Martensville, sisters Teresa Helperi and Joelle Ward understood the beauty in art.

Their late mother Sonya Anne Sweitzer, who was a painter, would hang her own paintings of purple crocuses on the walls of their home. She was also described as a woman who had a love for all things beautiful in nature, in her home and in fashion.

November 20th will mark nine years since Sweitzer’s passing. But her memory is alive and well, as her daughters celebrate their mother’s legacy in a unique way.

When Helperi and Ward decided to start up a home and floral boutique three years ago, they both agreed that it should be named after their mother.

SAS are the initials of their mother’s name.

“She just inspired us. It is what we grew up with and what we came to love,” said Helperi.

Both sisters want people to know how much of an inspiration their mother was. In the boutique, when customers pay for their purchase at the counter they can see a photo of Sweitzer, with heartfelt inscription.

Part of that inscription reads” “This store is dedicated in her (Sweitzer) honour and represents so much of who she was. We lost her much too soon to cancer. It is an honour now, to bless each person who comes through our doors with the gifts and talents she has passed

anniversary, explains Ward.

“When we opened our store.

We were supposed to open earlier and everything got pushed back. It was one of those interesting things that worked out.

Our opening day was the anniversary of her passing. It felt big,” she said.

“Tsumami is a line that we first started carrying. It is a Canadian designer. It is sterling silver, precious metals, gold, semi-precious stones,” she said.

“We also carry a line called Shearwater and Cocoon.”

November 20 is also a day that marks the boutique’s third

When you walk into SAS home and floral boutique in Martensville, you can see Sweitzer’s inspiration in the wide variety of flowers, giftware and home decor that would suit all tastes.

Helperi, who has done some home staging and interior decorating for local realtors over the years found that selling giftware, home decor and flowers just made sense because all three items complement each other.

As the only boutique in Martensville, Helperi and her sister Joelle, said people no longer need to drive to Saskatoon.

“We are still trying to get

people to come into our store and see all the things we have,” said Helperi, “Customers are surprised they can get everything they need in one store.”

Helperi and Ward said they go to gift buying shows twice a year in Toronto to add new lines of merchandise and they have a wide variety of tropical and orchid flowers that can’t be found in Saskatchewan.

Helperi added that each flower arrangement is custom arranged and they deliver to Mar-
