REMEMBERING HOCKEY’S GOLDEN AGE

Town unveils sign to honour Bentley Brothers

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Town of Delisle gathered last Saturday to unveil a sign honouring Max and Doug Bentley, two hometown boys who became hockey legends.

The Bentley brothers grew up in Delisle and struck fear into the hearts of many NHL defencemen and goaltenders with their skill and finesse in the NHL during the 1940s and 1950s.

It was for that reason that a committee headed by Delisle resident Doris Patterson felt there should be a sign to commemorate the accomplishments of both brothers.

“I was coming home from my son-in-law’s funeral not too long ago and coming through Stoughton and saw a sign honouring the famous Saskatchewan Campbell curling family. I said to myself: ‘where is Delisle’s sign?’ (honouring Max and Doug Bentley).”

The experience motived Patterson to get the ball rolling to raise money for a sign in Delisle honouring the famous hockey legends.

Patterson wrote a letter to the town, formed a ten-person committee and in three months was able to fundraise $5,000 towards creating and installing the sign.

The money was donated by family and friends of the Bentley’s and came from places including Vancouver, California, Oregon, Ottawa and British Columbia.

The green sign features the brothers side by side in their original six jerseys; Max in his Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, a sweater he would wear during three successful Stanley Cup campaigns in the late 40s, and Doug in his Chicago Blackhawks Jersey.

The day’s event was emceed by Delisle town councillor Dan Mantyka and fea-

Visitors to the town and those passing through Delisle will be greeted by images of NHL Hall of Famers Max and Doug Bentley tured speeches from Delisle Mayor Dave Anderchek, MP Kelly Block, MLA Randy Weekes, Saskatoon Mayor Don Atchison, Doug Bentley’s daughter Patsy Bentley-Noel and Max’s granddaughter Julie Vandenameele.

Max’s wife Betty, two sons Lynn and Garry, niece Fay Coben-Gardener and extended family and friends also made the trip for the ceremony.

Vandenameele said in her speech that out of all of her grandfather’s and uncle’s accomplishments in the NHL, being honoured by their home town would have topped them all.

“They would be speechless. Delisle was everything to them. They were born, raised, farmed and played hockey here. They would just be overwhelmed with joy,”

said Vandenameele.

Bentley-Noel said she remembers during her father’s playing days how he used to invite general managers and players from the Blackhawks to Delisle to hunt ducks.

When they asked Doug why he stayed here, he simply said: ‘Because Delisle is my home. I love it here.’

The stories of Max and Doug didn’t start and end with hockey. Both brothers excelled in other sports including baseball and curling, Coben-Gardener said in an interview.

Vandenmeele feels both brothers inspired generations of people, not only in Delisle, but across the province.

“I curl and when I am away from Delisle and people find out I am a Bentley they come over and say, ‘Are you related to the famous Bentley

Bentley family members (l-r): Patsy Bentley-Noel, Betty Bentley and Fay Coben-Gardener brothers?’ I say, ‘Yes, Max is my grandpa,” said Vandenmeele. “I have learned so much about my grandfather through the stories other peo-

ple have told.”

Patterson said it was it was a dream come true to honour the Bentley family and two of Delisle’s famous sons.

The deal was signed by the Prairie Spirit Board of Education and Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) leadership on March 20, 2014. The Prairie Spirit Board of Education approved the agreement at its regular meeting on March 17.

Intervalley Water expanding its reach in RM

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Intervalley Water Inc (IWI) is on a solid financial footing and is gradually expanding its operations, according to IWI Treasurer Geoff Booth.

The member-owned water utility, which serves about 500 members in the north and west part of the RM of Corman Park and the southern edge of the RM of Laird, held its annual general meeting on Wednesday, March 26 at Bethel Christian Reformed Church.

In his 2013 report, Chairman Clark Brotzell said the utility cleaned up its financial business, leading to improvements in its day to day operations, expanding its business and improving the utility’s overall financial health.

Brotzell said the utility switched to Affinity Credit Union last year to take advantage of a better interest rate, saving the utility $14,500.

In 2013 the utility finished the water connection to North Prairie Developments housing development in Cathedral Bluffs, and did some work on water lines associated with the Dalmeny Road upgrades.

It also did routine maintenance by reinstalling marks on curb stops and is anticipating some activity with the Ministry of Highways on work they are proposing on Highway 305 east of Dalmeny.

Grain movement needs long-term fix

Absestos in any form is harmful Submitted by

Jesse Todd

Chairman Saskatchewan Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization

COMMENTARY

On March 27, 2014, Fortune Minerals placed an advertisement in the Star Phoenix discussing the “facts” of their Saskatchewan Metals Processing Plant near Langham and Dalmeny. One of the facts they refer to in the advertisement is in reference to the presence of asbestos at the processing plant. Fortune Minerals claims there is no asbestos being processed or produced at the facility. They also claim tests were conducted by an independent laboratory that confirm that process residue from the facility will not contain asbestos. Further, they claim that no asbestos will be stored on site and that there will be no asbestos to disperse by wind to neighbouring properties.

While Fortune Minerals claims that these are the facts, it is a misrepresentation of the actual facts and hides the true danger of their processing facility because it is a much more complicated situation than they lead us to believe. So let’s look at the real facts about their processing plant. Fortune Minerals has admitted that actinolite is present in the ore samples that will be processed at the plant and that approximately 2% of the waste from the processing of the metals will contain actinolite.

Fortune Minerals states in its Environmental Impact Assessment that 158,000 tonnes of waste will be produced each year, which means that there will also be 3,160 tonnes of actinolite dumped on site each year.

Actinolite is a one of the six recognized types of asbestos. It can either be fibrous or non-fibrous. The fibrous type is classified as asbestos and is the one that kills people. In fact, when found in fibrous form, it is considered to be one of the most dangerous forms of asbestos. The non-fibrous type is not classified as a type of asbestos and is therefore considered to not be harmful because the fibres cannot get stuck in your lungs. However, even the non-fibrous form is thought to be detrimental to human health if people are exposed long enough. It is also very important to mention that the fibrous and non-fibrous types of actinolite can be found in the same deposit immediately next to each other. Fortune Minerals seems to be claiming that the non-fibrous type exists in their ore samples that will be processed at the facility near Langham and Dalmeny. But how can they be sure that they won’t hit a deposit of fibrous actinolite at their mine, bring it to the facility to be processed, and then dumped in their open pits?

To its credit, the Saskatchewan Party government is demanding even tougher measures to deal with the backlog of grain.

After the joint announcement by federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Transportation Minister Lisa Raitt, Premier Brad Wall’s government put out a news release demanding mandatory service level agreements, even more cars and stiffer penalties if the rail companies did not move their prescribed amount of grain each week.

While the federal order in council called for 11,000 cars a week and fines of up to $100,000 per day for failing to meet those targets, the province upped the ante to 13,000 cars a week and fines of $250,000 a day.

And besides the mandatory service agreements with reciprocal penalties for non-compliance, Saskatchewan said fines collected should go directly to benefit the producers.

All are fine notions directly benefitting those whom the government should be serving: the Saskatchewan farmer and the province’s economy as whole.

And, no doubt, these sugges-

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

tions were a direct reaction to complaints from farmers and others that initial efforts of Ritz and Raitt were just not tough enough.

But while all this tough talk is great and while there can be absolutely no doubt that Ritz and company were far too slow in addressing the key issues on the grain movement file, this has to be about more than making amends for the problems of this year.

This has to also be about moving forward to address rural Saskatchewan’s pending problems of future grain movement, as well.

And as it stands right now, it just doesn’t seem like we’ve moved ahead. If anything, we seem to be moving backwards.

As noted by Barry Prentice, professor of supply chain management at the University of Manitoba, in a recent article in

the Financial Post, this does all come down to an issue of 30 per cent more grain than the fiveyear average.

Admittedly, this surge could clearly have been anticipated by government and should have been anticipated by the railways that have instead chosen to shed engines and cars and crews to maximize profit.

In that regard, Prentice’s position would seem far too hard on a federal government that “has chosen to listen” and far too soft of the railways for “not supplying enough railcars, locomotives and crews to move this unexpected demand for service.”

But the economics professor makes a fair point that the excess capacity needed to move that grain simply requires cars and crew. And someone will have to pay for it.

Perhaps Prentice takes his sympathy for the railways too far by suggesting “severe penalties on the railways” is “bad management of transportation policy” because it’s only natural to run shorter trains in winter.

But he may be right that the extra capacity needed to move

the volume of grain Ottawa demands or the even-higher volume demanded by the Saskatchewan government can only come from one of two sources. Prentice suggests we increase the Revenue Cap and allow the railways to charge higher grain freight rates or force the railways to absorb the costs, internally.

Of course, farmers have little interest in paying more for transportation; especially when there is a grain glut, causing lower prices.

That leaves us with the second choice: demand a higher service level from the railways while capping their revenues from grain. However, Prentice argues that would be a return to the Statutory Freight Rates for grain; the “Crow Rate.”

It was past conservative governments that did away with the Crow, largely because it resulted in the railways charging more to move other commodities and less money put back into the maintenance of the railway system.

This may be where we have to go again; even if this is what got us in the current mess in the first place.

Religion is really about community, family and peace of mind It is a decision some parents make soon after a child is born: baptism.

Don’t worry. I am not going to rant about the holy sacraments or the importance of keeping the Sabbath.

My son is six years old and my daughter is almost five. The decision to baptise my kids was based on tradition more than anything else.

When my significant other and I went to a baptism class, I was surprised about how much I had forgotten about the sacraments and other church stuff.

I was raised in St.John’s, Newfoundland by parents who are still full-time Catholics even though they are in their 70s. When my parents were my kid’s age they prayed when

I remember sitting in the pew and looking for a spot on the wall during a sermon so I could daydream the hour away.

My mom would always ask me after the priest’s sermon, now called a homily ‘now did you listen to what father so and so said?’

I would just roll my eyes and say to myself; Mom I barely listen to you, what makes you think I am going to pay attention to a man in a robe preaching wisdom from a 3,000 yearold book?”

When I enrolled in university I stopped going to church and continued to question my faith. The Bible seemed like a big book of over exaggerated fairy tales. To be quite honest, I have never read it all the way through.

Years later when I worked for a Sun Media newspaper in Whitecourt, Alberta, I was assigned to cover a Catholic School Board meeting.

At this point in my life, it was years since I been to church. It was 2008, the DaVinci Code book and movie had already been in theatres and there were countless stories of people doubting the existence of the almighty and his only son.

The symbol of the cross and prayer gave me an odd comfort that I didn’t think I would miss.

When my son Matthew was born I debated for years whether to get him baptized. I didn’t understand the purpose of it.

What will my kids get out of it?

I’ve come to learn that is really for them to decide.

As parents it is our job to introduce our kids to different experiences. They will either become inspired or move onto other adventures.

I guess growing up Roman Catholic was a normal way of life for me. It was ingrained into my subconscious and the practice of baptism sort of become a tradition, which I am sure it is in most families no-

ways.

How many times have you done something because it was tradition without really knowing the meaning behind it?

When I took this job I decided to put my son into a Catholic school in Saskatoon to see how I would feel about it.

Every time I walk into my son’s Catholic school classroom and see the art and Christian symbols on the walls that same comforting feeling comes back.

And my son has seemed to embrace his faith which is something I didn’t expect.

I guess when it comes down to it, whether or not you are a believer or not, religion is really about community, family, and peace of mind.

RM Dundurn updates official community plan

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Dundurn is hoping its proposed Official Community Plan (OCP) will avoid residential and commercial zoning conflicts with both the Town of Dundurn and the Blackstrap Lake buffer zone.

The RM held a third reading of their OCP at the Dundurn Town Hall on Tuesday, March 27, hoping residents can agree on a final document to be sent to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs in the coming months.

RM of Dundurn Reeve Fred Wilson said when the RM first started designing its original zoning bylaws in 1998 they had no inkling of the development demand that was going to hap-

pen in the municipality.

“When we did start developing we ran into complications with the existing bylaw that had to be updated,” said Wilson. “That is why we started the process of reviewing everything and doing an official community plan.”

In the RM’s OCP document put together by SARM planner Dana Schmaltz and Joseph Jozsa of Conquest Consulting Inc, it stated that since 2006 there has been an 80 per cent increase in Dundurn’s population. In 2006 the RM was home to 630 people; in 2011 the population soared to 1150.

Wilson said the biggest changes in the new plan are residential, which he referred to as R1 and R2 residential.

The difference is the size of the lots, said Wilson.

“R2 is a minimum of two acres, and R1 is the same as rural residential where you have smaller packages,” said Wilson.

“R1 is also referring to the area around the reservoir development or Blackstrap Planning area, which is also included in the OCP.” Typically this area is surrounded by a buffer zone which is controlled by the Ministry of the Environment, said Wilson.

The only input the RM had in this area of the plan was the development of service roads.

Wilson said the RM wants to maintain as much agricultural land as possible, but it also wants to complement commercial and residential develop-

ment so people don’t have to drive out of the municipality for employment.

Wilson said so far feedback has been positive. He explained that some residents wanted more variation on the size of the residential lots, while other people didn’t want any residential development.

Schmalz, who was contracted by the RM from SARM said combining the Blackstrap Planning Area and the outskirts of the RM into one document was the most challenging aspect of the plan.

She said with Saskatchewan’s growing population SARM planners are becoming busier than ever.

RM plans to bring in information technology policy

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

RM of Corman Park councillors received a crash course on the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP) in relation to the usage of RM computers and iPads by council and staff.

The RM moved to electronic council agendas last month, which means agendas as well as all RM business are sent out on iPads instead of traditional

print copy.

Candice Grant from Robertson Stromberg LLP explained the Act to council during an administration committee meeting March 10.

The big question asked by councillors was whether a FOIP request could be made on a councilor’s personal email account.

Adam Tittemore, administrator for the RM, said if the personal email contains RM business it doesn’t really matter.

“If the information in the email relates to something specific to the RM there is potential that it could be asked for as public information,” said Tittemore.

Tittemore said FOIP requests can be made by taxpayers and non taxpayers of the RM, but there are still conditions on what is considered public information.

“Some of these conditions would include anything that is personal information, of any in-

dividual, anything to do with personal finances, contacts, personal information as it relates to contacts or legal cases.”

Besides the rules outlined in FOIP the RM is also going to be incorporating an information technology policy regarding iPads and other mobile devices in April for first review.

Then depending on any changes and legal review it will be adopted by council, said Tittemore.

Online reports focus on factors influencing health

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Saskatoon Health Region (SHR) released the first in a series of online reports, analyzing factors influencing residents’ health during a public meeting March 26.

The Health Region’s Public Health Observatory examined existing data relating to jobs, education, income, housing and population growth trends to develop a high level overview of the region’s population.

In previous years a master hard copy report would be compiled every four years to address topical issues in Saskatoon’s Health Region.

SHR Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Cory Neudorf said the intent throughout the year is to bring together different groups on specific topics in the health system.

“It will be more interactive and spread throughout the year with the ability to give summary comments at the end of the year to be used in our health system planning,” said Neudorf.

The first of five online re-

ports looked at Saskatchewan’s growing population, specifically focusing on people currently residing in the health region.

According to the online report (communityviews.ca) the Saskatchewan Health Region is the most populous health region in Saskatchewan with over 336,000 residents in 2013, representing 30 per cent of the total population of the province.

Since 1995 the population has increased from 275,000 to over 336,000 in 2013; an increase of 22 per cent during the 18 year period.

Aboriginal peoples (including Metis, First Nations and Inuit increased to 9.5 per cent in 2011, while immigrants in the last five years have more than tripled from 3,435 in 2006 to 12,070 in 2011.

By 2030 the region’s population is expected to reach 418,000.

In terms of jobs and education the report found that Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate of 4.3 per cent is lower than any other Canadian province and nearly nine out of every 10 people have a high school education.

YOUTH VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD

But about 40 per cent of those without a high school education don’t have a job, a factor which can lead to poor health.

On income, the report found that many people in Saskatchewan earn more than the average Canadian. However, nearly one in five children under six years of age lives in a low income household.

The most interesting finding on health in the report concerned the high costs of housing.

The report stated in 13 years housing prices have more than tripled, resulting in one in four people in the region spending nearly a third of their income on shelter, more than the typical Canadian.

The conclusion of this finding suggested that when people struggle to afford a place to live, or have no place to live they are more likely to have poor health.

Neudorf said an important focus of the first report outlined the importance of how health regions should be culturally sensitive in how they deliver services to new immigrant and aboriginal groups.

SHR Chairperson Jim Rhode

asked if Neudorf had the opportunity to ask other regions what they are doing to deal with population increases.

Neudorf said he spoke to city planners from Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton to look at whether a mixed neighborhood design that promotes more walking and biking could be used to invoke better health.

Other online reports in the series will look at topics including, inequalities in the health system, sexual diseases such as HIV and STI’s, health behaviours and social determinants of health and well being.

Most of the data compiled in the online report was gleaned from Statistics Canada, the Government of Saskatchewan and other sources.

Neudorf said he believes the SRH can create a community where everyone has a chance to live a healthy life.

“As a health services community, I think we can all do more to reduce poverty, improve the health and well-being of Aboriginal peoples and other human services to support a larger and more culturally diverse population,” said Neudorf.

Warman OK Tire Store tops in prairie region One of top four stores in Canada

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman OK Tire Store has been named the top location for the franchise in the Prairie Region, and is one of the top four locations in the country.

Regional awards are presented annually by OK Tire to the top store in the Prairie Region,, Maritime Region, Eastern Region and Pacific Region. A national award for top overall store is presented later in the year. OK Tire has over 400 locations across Canada.

The Prairie Region award was presented to OK Tire franchise owner Darwin Davis and staff on Wednesday, March 26

by Denis Gauthier, OK Tire Territory Manager for Business Development. The award was first announced at the OK Tire annual conference in Feb-

ruary. Warman OK Tire Manager Travis Dyck was at that conference to accept the award.

“It was definitely a surprise,” confirmed Davis in an interview. “But it shows that hard work pays off.”

The Warman OK Tire store is a full-service automotive shop. The business moved from its former location on Main Street to a new, larger location on South Railway Street in the city’s industrial area last year, and hired more staff to handle the increase in the volume of business.

Davis said the store focuses on customer service, and credited the staff for their professionalism and commitment.

Gauthier said each individual OK Tire franchise is independently-owned and operated, and added that being chosen as the top store in the entire prairie region is a huge accomplishment.

“The Warman store has really had a huge increase in busi-

ince. Since 2007, we have increased the minimum wage in Saskatchewan six times and have gone from $7.95 to $10.20.

That’s 28 per cent, which is well ahead of the rate of inflation.”

Highlights of the new minimum wage regulation will include: Indexation formula will be based on the equal weighting of the percentage changes in the Consumer Price Index and Average Hourly Wage for the previous year.

A change in the minimum wage will be announced on or before June 30 of each year, with that change coming in effect on October 1 of the same

year.

The Government of Saskatchewan has significatly reduced the tax burden on minimum wage earners by increasing the basic personal, spousal and child benefits and by creating the Saskatchewan Low Income Tax Credit, removing about 112,000 people from the tax rolls.

Individual taxpayers now pay no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $18,650 of income while a family of four pays no Saskatchewan income tax on their first $48,320 of income – the highest tax-free income threshold for a family of four in Canada.

A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE Warman resident credits AED; quick action by RCMP, First Responders

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Marcel Lalonde treasures every moment he has with his wife and family these days.

The 54-year-old Warman resident got a second chance at life after suffering a massive cardiac arrest at the Tim Hortons restaurant in Warman the evening of Saturday, February 22.

Lalonde stopped breathing for about six minutes, but was brought back to life through the combined efforts of RCMP members who performed Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) at the scene; Warman First Responders who used an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to shock Lalonde’s heart back into rhythm; and MD Ambulance paramedics who transported him to hospital in Saskatoon.

“I remember having a cup of coffee, and then feeling a little bit dizzy. But I don’t remember anything after that other than waking up in the hospital,” said Lalonde in an interview at his home in Warman on Thursday, March 27. “I don’t remember hitting the table or falling to the floor. It’s all a blank.”

Lalonde said he has no recollection of the six minutes he was without a pulse.

“People have asked me if I saw a bright light or if I met any deceased relatives,” he said. “I didn’t. I’ve been asked if I saw Elvis. Sorry. If I did see him I don’t remember.”

Moments after Lalonde col-

lapsed, RCMP members from the detachment office across the street were alerted. A Mountie arrived on scene and immediately started CPR on Lalonde’s chest. He kept it up until Warman First Responders arrived and took over.

Warman Deputy Fire Chef Russ Austin described Lalonde’s recovery as nothing short of miraculous.

“He was not breathing and he had no pulse for about six minutes. It took five shocks from the AED before all of a sudden we felt a pulse, he opened his eyes and gasped for breath,” Austin stated at the time.

Lalonde underwent immediate surgery at Royal University Hospital, where doctors put in a stent. A few days later, he underwent a second surgery where a miniature, automatic defibrillator was implanted in his chest. He was released from hospital on February 28, and aside from some minor memory lapses and dizzy spells, he says he’s been fine.

“Except my chest still hurts where the guy was doing CPR on me,” he said. “Man, he must have been really pushing down hard on my ribs.”

Lalonde said his experience convinced him that AEDs should be widely accessible in all communities.

“Some people say they’re pretty expensive, but really, how do you put a price on a human life?” he said. “These machines are priceless.”

He was brought back to life by means of an automated external defibrillator Audrey Lalonde, Marcel’s wife, works at the RM of Corman Park office, which is equipped with an AED. She’s also a firm believer in the necessity of having AEDs in public places.

“The nice thing about those machines is they’re pretty easy to operate,” she said in an interview on Friday, March 28.

“They save lives. My husband is living proof of that.”

Marcel Lalonde noted he had

heart problems in the past. Diagnosed with diabetes twenty years earlier, Marcel underwent open heart surgery in 2005 where surgeons performed seven bypasses. At that time he began taking insulin.

“The evening when he had the heart attack, I remember looking out the window and seeing the lights of the fire truck at the Tim Hortons,” said Audrey. The Lalonde’s house is about a block east of the

Tim Hortons location. “I didn’t think much of it because you see emergency lights fairly often.

“But when I saw the RCMP officer coming down the street toward our door, I started to get a little edgy. I had a feeling something might have happened because of Marcel’s history of heart problems.”

She phoned the couple’s son, Dustin, who lives in Dalmeny, and together they drove to the

hospital.

“I was shocked, but I knew he was going to be okay, so that took away some of the sting,” she said.

Marcel Lalonde said he intends to eat healthier and exercise regularly, advice he admits he didn’t follow after his heart surgery in 2005.

“I should have paid more attention to what the doctors said,” he admitted. “I won’t make that mistake again.”

Lutheran Early Learning childcare centre set to expand facility in Warman

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The childcare centre at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Warman is expanding to accommodate 50 new licensed childcare spaces.

The church is building an addition on the west and south sides of the existing sanctuary space, adding approximately

580 square meters to the church on the upper level, and an additional 590 square meters of programming space in the lower level for the new Childcare Centre.

The church currently houses a preschool programming centre, but space is limited. The new addition will accommodate 50 new licensed childcare spaces, and consist of five rooms

which will allow the childcare centre to operate a “Before and After School” program for 15 youngsters, as well as preschool programming, evening user group meetings and Sunday School classrooms.

A zoning bylaw amendment adopted at the March 24 Warman City Council meeting approved a request to allow the church to build the new

addition. The bylaw reduced the rear-yard setback required from 7 meters to 3 meters. Notice was given prior to the bylaw change and no objections were raised, council was told.

In a brochure to neighbouring residents explaining the new addition, St. John’s Church said: “We are excited to welcome all the little ones who will start arriving in the late

fall of 2014,” when the addition is scheduled to be completed.

The original church was built many years ago. An addition was completed in 2001.

“It is our intention to offer full-time childcare, before and after school care, and preschool programming to our community families who could use a safe Christian environment in which to leave their chil-

dren during the workday,” stated the church brochure. “Lutheran Early Learning Centres Inc. has been a ministry arm of our Church since 1999 and has been serving West Saskatoon and Martensville with Childcare services many of those years and offering Preschool programming in those locations as well as Sutherland and Warman.”

SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE Optimism helped 100year old woman during hard times

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Esther Rempel vividly recalls the Dirty Thirties, and the dry winds whistling past her family’s farm home north of Borden.

“There were a lot of dust storms in those days,” Rempel recalled in an interview at her residence at the Spruce Manor Special Care Home in Dalmeny on Thursday, March 27. “I remember lots of Russian Thistles blowing around. It was pretty discouraging because my parents really struggled to make ends meet during that drought. It went on for years.”

But there were good times too, and Esther’s sense of optimism kept her spirits up. “I had a lot of good friends. We enjoyed life in those days,” she said. “I still enjoy life.”

Rempel, who turned 100 years old on March 4, said some of her fondest memories from her youth were attending the small country school south of the family farm.

“I didn’t start school until I was almost nine years old,” she said. “And I didn’t know a word of English.”

Rempel said the family farm

was close to the boundary line between school districts, with the German-speaking Mennonite population to the north and the English-speaking population to the south.

“We were kind of far out in the country,” she said. “Nobody bothered us because we were out there in the desert and nobody knew I existed.

“My dad waited until after harvest and then in November he took me to the school and dropped me off. It sure surprised the teacher.”

Rempel said going to school opened up a whole new world for her. “I loved it,” she said.

“School was so much fun, and learning to read was the best part. I didn’t have any trouble learning the language. I quickly caught up to the other kids my age. It wasn’t difficult at all.”

But school lasted only until Grade 8. “I worked on the farm and in the home,” she said. “I worked hard, but not too hard.”

Esther married Abe Rempel, who had grown up in the same area. When asked why she picked him, she answered with a grin: “I didn’t. He picked me.”

“I had planned a birthday party for my mother,” she recalled. “And Abe just happened to drop in. After that, he kept on dropping in until I agreed to marry him.”

Esther said her one regret was that nobody took a picture on her wedding day.

“My dad had a camera,” she said. “But he didn’t think it was important. I didn’t think it was important at the time either, but I wish I had a picture now.”

The young couple farmed on their own and then moved to

Warman Wildcats repeat as provincial Pee Wee A hockey champions

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Winning a provincial championship is a huge accomplishment.

Winning it twice in a row is amazing.

The Warman Wildcats won their second straight Pee Wee A provincial crown in convincing fashion on home ice on Sunday, March 30.

The Wildcats defeated the Weyburn Red Wings in two straight games to claim the Saskatchewan Hockey Association championship banner.

They won by a score of 7-3 in Weyburn on Friday, March 28 and cruised to a 9-5 victory two days later at the Legends Centre in Warman.

“It feels pretty good,” said Wildcats head coach Kevin Martens while the celebration was taking place on the ice after the game. “We’re all pretty excited for these kids. They played hard and they deserve it.”

Martens said despite the final score, it wasn’t an easy game, particularly in the first period when the Red Wings came out flying.

“Full credit to Weyburn,” said Martens. “This was the toughest series we had. They came to play today. They obviously made some adjustments after the first game in Weyburn, and we had some trouble breaking out of our zone in the first couple of periods.

“But the kids figured things out by the third period and that made all the difference.”

Martens said the players, who were picked for the provincial team from two Warman pee wee club teams, came together as a group fairly quickly for the provincial playoffs.

ers and a great group of coaches and parents.”

Martens said only two players were veterans from last year’s team.

“It was nice to win with the other 16 players who hadn’t been here before,” he said. “It was a lot of fun.”

Weyburn drew first blood when Owen Hiltz scored five

minutes into the first period, but Warman’s Nathan Hanson got the equalizer 90 seconds later. A last-minute push

by Weyburn resulted in a goal

by Ty Nikolejsin, giving the visitors a 2-1 lead heading into the first intermission.

The momentum shifted early in the second when Taylor Stanzel of the Wildcats tied things

up. Brett Maraschuk gave Warman a one-goal lead two minutes later, and Hanson followed that up with his second of the game shortly after.

Weyburn’s Nolan Ling rounded out the second period scoring with a power play marker. Early in the third the Red Wings knotted the score at 4-4 on a goal by Holden Kopec.

The Outlaws cruised through the FCHL playoffs with 9 wins and 2 losses. The Outlaws had

lost Game 4 to Bruno in doubleovertime.

The Outlaws won the championship on the strength of their scoring punch. The team had six of the top ten scorers in the playoffs: Mike Kaye, Kelly Friesen, Torey Stott, Steve Gillen, Chris Durand and Jordan Menke. During the playoffs, the Outlaws scored 71 goals while allowing only 26 goals against.

Nash, who plays for the Female AAA Saskatoon Stars in the Saskatoon Minor Hockey league, was named to the roster that will represent this zone in the provincial tournament.

The Warman Minor Hockey Association executive issued a statement saying the association is proud of Nash’s accomplishment and wishes her all the best in the tournament.

The Wildcats’ Tyler Germaine and Red Wings’ Nolan Ling exchanged goals to keep things tied at 5-5; but Warman captain Logan Campbell broke things open with an end-to-end rush at the 11:40 mark, flipping the puck top-shelf behind Weyburn goalie Kobe Kmita.

After that it was all Warman.

Clavet Cougars win Provincial Bantam C championship on home ice

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Clavet Cougars downed the Wynyard Monarchs to capture the provincial Bantam C hockey championship at home on Friday, March 28.

But the Comeback Kids did it the hard way, spotting the Monarchs a two-goal lead heading into the two-game, total-points series final game on home ice, and waiting until late in the second and third periods before scoring four straight goals to win the game, the series and the championship.

“It’s a pretty amazing feeling, for sure,” said Cougars Assistant Coach Sean Bursaw after the game, as the players took turns skating around the rink with the championship banner.

“For a lot of these kids, they’ve never experienced anything like this before, so it’s pretty special. It’s great for this community too. We came into this game down by two goals and they pulled it off. We’re very proud of them.”

The Cougars lost the first game in Wynyard by a score of 5-3, and the visitors looked like they had momentum on their side early in the second game.

Tanner Linnen scored for Wynyard about thirty seconds after the opening face-off, but Clavet’s Nolan Haugen replied for the Cougars four minutes later to tie the game at 1 each.

The pattern of trading goals continued, with Wynyard’s Rylan Sokul and Dalton Lindal scoring for the visitors and Clavet’s Colten Olyniuk and Evan Ashdown bending the twine for the home team.

But Dawson George sparked the Cougars’ rally with just under three minutes left in the second period, creating a turnover just inside the Monarchs’ blue line and capitalizing with a wrist shot from the high slot that beat Wynyard goaltender Riley Gibson. George added the series-tying goal midway through the final frame on a power play. After that, all the momentum seemed to be with Clavet, and when Conor Prosof-

After that it was just a matter of playing solid defense, and Clavet’s goaltender, Mackenzie Dumba, stood tall by turning away all the shots that came his way.

“This is a group of kids that came together from six different towns,” said Bursaw. “They’re from Clavet, Aberdeen, Hanley, Dundurn, Kenaston and Hawarden. The kids from out of town had no other place to play hockey, so they came here to Clavet at the beginning of the season.”

Bursaw said the team started to gel early on. “I could see after the fourth game that this was going to be a good team,” said Bursaw. “The kids were really starting to play as a team and they got along well. There was a lot of good chemistry.”

Fred Couples headlines charity event Golf legend Fred Couples is coming to Saskatoon in August to give a boost to the campaign for a neonatal unit in the new Children’s Hospital.

Synergy 8 Community Builders and Dundee Development/ Homes by Dundee launched this year’s “Drive for Kids Campaign” last week.

“We are extremely happy to announce an all-star golf lineup that includes Fred Couples, Jay Haas, & David Feherty”, stated Trent Sereda Synergy 8 Community Builders. “We were very excited when Fred called us and said he would like

to come back to Saskatoon as he wasn’t able to golf when he was here in 2012, he also let us know that he is bringing longtime friend and co-captain of last year’s winning President’s Cup team, Jay Haas. We wanted to give all guests who attend the supper a first class event and we feel by adding David Feherty to interview these golf legends that we have achieved that”.

“Dundee Development/ Homes by Dundee are certainly proud to be the title Sponsor for this year’s 2014 Drive for Kids Campaign in support of the Children’s Hospital Foundation. We have taken notice of the efforts of Synergy 8 Community Builders in the past number of years and were happy to lend our support when the opportunity presented itself” stated Marty Lewis, Vice

Actinolite at Fortune processing plant Also, with the difference between fibrous and non-fibrous actinolite being such a fine line and the possibility of asbestos being present in the ore, is this a risk we want to take? If Fortune Minerals makes a mistake and asbestos is brought to the processing plant, the consequences can be fatal. Luckily, when the Government of Saskatchewan wrote the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations in 1996, they had the foresight to realize that it is too risky to try to differentiate between fibrous and non-fibrous asbestos, so in their definition of asbestos, they state the

following: ““asbestos” means the fibrous form of crocidolite, amosite, chrysotile, anthophyllite, actinolite, tremolite or a mixture containing any of those minerals” (emphasis added). Therefore, the Government of Saskatchewan realizes the danger of actinolite and that all types should be treated as asbestos because of the potential hazards it poses to the public. Fortune Minerals has misrepresented the facts about this mineral to the public and is playing a very dangerous guessing game that can have deadly consequences if they are wrong.

In sum, here are the real

facts about the Fortune Minerals Processing Plant: Fact: Fortune Minerals will be dumping 3,160 tonnes of actinolite into open pits every year (79,000 tonnes over the life of the project) Fact: The Government of Saskatchewan believes that all forms of actinolite should be treated as asbestos Fact: Exposure to asbestos can be fatal So the question we need to ask ourselves is whether or not we want to take the risk of dumping actinolite into open pits and hope that it doesn’t harm us.

Infrastructure funding needed: SUMA President Urban governments in Saskatchewan are pleased with the provincial government’s continued support for our cities, towns and villages in their efforts to help our province grow.

“Saskatchewan’s villages, towns and cities are experiencing unprecedented growth,” said Mayor Debra Button, Saskatchewan Urban Municipali-

ties Association (SUMA) President. “Urban governments across the province are on the frontline, providing the services and infrastructure we need to attract business and new residents. The government’s investment in our communities will go a long way to helping us meet the demands of growth” SUMA is concerned that

Climb a mountain in support of freedom Submitted by

DENISE HEPPNER

2013 and 2014 Freedom Climb participant from Waldheim, SK

Come and climb a mountain with us!

“Meet at the Peak” is Saskatchewan’s very own climb for freedom. On May 25 you are invited to join NASHI (a local anti-human trafficking organization) in summiting Mt. Blackstrap with the goal of claiming freedom for children who are at-risk of being sold into the sex trade in the Ukraine.

Can’t climb or trek to the peak? Come and enjoy the day and sponsor a participant.

There will be activities for children, BBQ, prizes, and an official photographer at the top to capture your summit.

Last year I shared with you my adventure of trekking to the base camp of Mt. Everest and summiting a nearby mountain.

What was the purpose? It was called the Freedom Climb and it wasn’t just about climbing a mountain – it was about raising awareness and money to help women and children who are being trafficked. To help women and children who lives are not their own – who are being beaten, threatened, used for purposes that are absolutely unimaginable.

The Freedom Climb was a symbolic gesture of the difficult climb to freedom faced by these people. Each climber paid their own way and were given the task of raising money to put towards projects that are under-

way in prevention, rescue and rehabilitation through the organization Operation Mobilization (www.thefreedomclimb. net).

It was an honor to carry the NASHI flag to Everest and hold it high on the mountainside. It represents incredible compassion, and a fierce desire to love and help those who have no one.

NASHI has just opened the doors of The Maple Leaf Centre in the Ukraine. This safe house/trade school is a 13,000 square foot educational livein centre, providing basic life skills development, temporary housing and support for girls as young as eight who have no home. The centre will ready these girls for life in the Ukraine and divert them from human trafficking.

You too can climb a mountain and change a life. Every one of these girls that are living in orphanages in the Ukraine, living on the streets, and those who are the lucky ones who will be going to live at the Maple Leaf Centre that NASHI has built are flesh and blood people, who live and breathe, and dream, and love, and hurt. If each one of us can focus on helping one child, one life, that will change everything.

Money raised from this event will be directed to the Blackstrap Room in the Maple Leaf Centre and pictures of all the climbers will be featured in the room. Please contact Betti (306220-7441) or Denise (306-9452267) for registration information.

Coffee makers, Henry and Rose Dick, found themselves scurrying to pull out extra chairs and even one more small table to accommodate the record amount of attendees at the morning coffee break on St Patrick’s Day. The supply of green iced cupcakes doubled as treats for St Patty’s and our Recreation Directory, Corinne Waldner’s, birthday. Maybe word of the multiple green gifts for door prize draws brought in the people but whatever the reason it was a great morning for all.

And not only a great morning but a great month for free coffee! There was free coffee on St Patrick’s Day if you wore something (anything) green and with ten people celebrating a March birthday there was always one or the other of them picking up the coffee tab on the day closest to their birthday.

WARMAN THEATRE

Sunday the 23rd seven Plus 60 members took in the Scared Scriptless Dessert Theatre ‘You Can’t Take It With You’ in Warman. It was a most en-

joyable afternoon both the play and the desserts were fabulous!

We laughed about the story of the play and shared our idea on who we thought was our favourite actor, as we traveled home with a months supply of ‘sugar’ in our bodies.

there is no new allocation for infrastructure funding due to the lack of details surrounding the new Building Canada Fund. SUMA has been reassured by the Government of Saskatchewan that once the program is finalized by the federal government there will be provincial resources available.

“Saskatchewan’s villages, towns and cities have been repeatedly promised support by the federal government to meet the challenges posed by aging infrastructure,” said Mayor Debra Button, SUMA President. “But despite the immediate need for infrastructure investment in our communi-

Outstanding is one of the words I could use to describe our monthly Pot Luck supper, both the food and the attendance! Hostess couples Alex and Doris Tarasoff and Bill and Shirley Watt did themselves proud scrambling for more chairs and arranging the multiple food dishes; at 6 pm sharp the March birthday people were invited to the buffet table.

Responding to that invitation were Margaret Quiring, Rose Dick, Ray Beirut, Mary Ens, Mary Epp, Alex Tarasoff, Doris Epp, Thomas Knowles, and Bob Izsak.

New members of the North Corman Park Search and Rescue (NCPSR) organization literally got their bearings during a training exercise in Dalmeny on Saturday, March 29.

The day-long training session focused on navigation skills and how to use a map and compass during searches, according to Hepburn Fire Chief Gord Jackson, who served as head instructor for the session.

“The object of the day is to ensure people are familiar with how to take a bearing using a map and compass and how to follow that bearing without too much deviation,” said Jackson in an interview outside the Dalmeny Fire Hall. “It’s a matter of becoming knowledgeable

about UTM coordinates, which is the grid pattern we use when we’re searching for a missing person or a specfic object.”

While most of the ten participants in the training session were new to the NCPSR team, there were others who were there to refresh their skills.

The course consisted of classroom training during the morning in the Dalmeny Fire Hall, and practical map and compass training outdoors in the afternoon.

“Unless you practice those skills periodically, you forget things and then you find yourself second-guessing your calculations,” said Jackson. “When you set out on a bearing, you have to have it right the first time.”

Using map and compass to

determine the UTM coordinates not only allows searchers to determine the area to be searched, it also ensures that when they find a missing person or a lost object, they are able to give the precise coordinates to other teams which are providing support, Jackson explained.

The NCPSR organization will be holding additional training sessions during the course of the year, including one on navigation for search team leaders.

“This course today is simply focusing on the fundamentals,” said Jackson. “But later on we’ll do a full-certification course called Navigation, Map and Compass, which will integrate GPS technology into it.”

In July, the NCPSR intends to do river rescue training.

RM, City amend septic utility bylaw

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park is making its policy regarding the management of on-site septic utilities more flexible in multiparcel country residential subdivisions.

On March 10 a delegation from the City of Saskatoon including Laura Hartney, Regional Planning Manager and Dana Kripki, Senior Planner-Regional Partnerships provided council with a brief presentation regarding the background and highlights of the city’s raw water intake and river crossing pipeline projects.

The presentation was an update from the February 10 RM Council meeting on a number of changes that the City of Saskatoon had requested to the proposed textual amendments regarding septic utilities.

The city proposed an option where the jointly-adopted District Official Community Plan (DOCP), rather than the than the singly-adopted District

Zoning Bylaw, would contain standards for where septic utilities would be required.

In the proposal the RM and the City would jointly decide whether wastewater system monitoring would be required for a particular development.

The city was concerned about the effects the bylaw amendments would have on the protection of source water.

Adam Tittemore, Corman Park administrator, said the RM wanted to make sure everything regarding the wording in the policy was compliant.

“We just wanted to make sure that there was some protection in place to make sure that there were not going to be any issues with their water intake or any effluent making its way into regional boundaries,” said Tittemore.

The city’s raw water intake is located in the Planning District south of the City limits; this water is then treated and distributed throughout the region.

During a March 17 RM council meeting, council agreed to

the proposed amendment to the DOCP and District Zoning Bylaw.

The amendments mean the RM may have provincial regulatory agencies or qualified professionals monitor on-site wastewater systems due to local soil conditions, including the proximity to shallow water, the proximity of the development to existing multi-parcel country residential developments and existing or planned urban neighbourhoods, the location of the development relative to the Saskatoon water intake, the existing and potential type of potable water supply on adjacent properties or the type of on-site wastewater system proposed.

Tittemore said the important thing about the wording is that it is open to council’s discretion.

He said council would have the ability to say it can be a septic utility, it could be a home owners association, or condo association. It could be anything that council seems acceptable.

Hitting a High Note Talented musicians, vocalists earn awards at Twin Rivers Music Festival

By HILARY KLASSEN

hilarylklassen@gmail.com

The Twin Rivers Music Festival in Dalmeny came to an enjoyable conclusion Sunday, March 30 with a sampling of the week’s most inspiring performances.

The Budd family, with George on guitar, Naomi on banjo and Emily on violin, opened the awards concert at the Dalmeny Community Church with three pleasing tunes, one of which got people clapping in rhythm to the music.

The concert represented a selection of the impressive talent that emerged over the week-long festival, and the culmination of months of preparation by participants.

Doreen Benson, president of the Twin Rivers Music Festival, paid tribute to the hard working participants, the festival committee and the teachers, who she said “encouraged, prodded and inspired” their students. “You gave them a chance to learn through performance and competition.

You may even have dried some tears along the way.”

The festival committee made the decision to redefine its reach in this, its thirteenth year. The decision was to consolidate and bring the event closer to its original mandate.

“We were getting a little too big and then you almost defeat the purpose because we wanted to reach the constituents in this area. It meant those who are outside our district don’t qualify for scholarships and they pay a little higher fee to enter, but they still can enter,” she said.

The change created a few complications but Benson anticipates that in another year it will all be smoothed out. “The thing is, it was new to some and they hadn’t read our webpage carefully, they didn’t read the fine print and didn’t realize until it was almost too late,” she said.

Benson noted that the festival had excellent adjudicators.

“They were wise, they were

helpful, they taught all of us, they gave interesting little tidbits of history or different eras of music of the various composers, so we all learned something,” she said.

The festival itself had lots of piano entries and speech arts.

“We wish we had more vocal entries. We did not have as many as we would like to see,” said Benson. “Also in instrumental we had the bands and we had a few more advanced performers, but other than that we would like to see the band students participate in solos and duets and groups as well, which they have other years,” she added.

The participants were rewarded for their efforts with more than $3500 in scholarships and awards announced

by Marg Andres.

Some of these included the Twin River Prestige Scholarship of $200 which went to Aryn Polichuk.

The Outstanding Junior Performer Award and a $75 scholarship went to Nicholas Gilbey, and the recipient of the Rose Bowl and $150 scholarship for Musical Distinction in the Instrumental category was Katherine Cole.

Aryn Polichuk and Shaelynne Sawatsky were recommended by the adjudicators to represent the festival at the provincial finals in the piano and instrumental discipline. Polichuk was also recommended to compete at the provincial level of the national competition.

If he wins in Saskatchewan, he will represent the province at nationals.

The recipient of the J.J. Loewen Band Award of up to a $1000 scholarship was the Prairie West Senior Band from Warman. The name announced most often was Rayn BuddRay who went away with four awards.

Awards for Outstanding Musicianship were presented to several age groups, as were the Adjudicator’s Choice awards.

The Mature Award went to Alison Klassen who performed in several categories: poetry, story-telling, musical theatre and sacred reading.

In her second year as president, Benson says she doesn’t do it alone; she has exceptional support from the committee. ‘We have a wonderful executive. Everybody knows their role, so we work well together,” she said. The festival relies a great deal on its fundraisers.

“Without them, how could we even have a festival? What we gain through students’ entry fees does not nearly cover the costs of paying for our adjudicators and our scholarships,” said Benson.

The festival takes place in two venues, the Dalmeny Bible Church and the Dalmeny Community Church. Both have grand pianos and can accommodate bands and choral groups. “It couldn’t be better,” said Benson.

Music, whether it’s to float away on or set your toes tapping, is a universal language.

The incredible gift of talented children and youth performing at various levels of skill and ability with passion and power, their fully memorized selections, is an experience not to be missed.

MONEY TALKS: Does it just say goodbye?

Workshop teaches youth basics of financial literacy

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Nicole White has some sound advice for young people when it comes to cell phone contracts.

“Don’t just sign on the dotted line,” said White. “Make sure you read the fine print, because you could be putting yourself on the hook for a lot more than you can afford.

“There are things you can negotiate with your cell phone provider if you find your bill is too high,” she added. “You have to be your own advocate and look out for your own best interests.”

White spoke at a “Financial Literacy” workshop at Warman High School on Wednesday, March 26. The workshop, which focused on such topics

as cell phone bills, credit cards, credit ratings, and purchasing your first car, was aimed at both students and parents.

The workshop was provided through READ Saskatoon, with funding from the TD Financial Literacy Grant fund.

READ Saskatoon promotes literacy of all kinds, including financial literacy, said White.

She said it’s important that people, regardless of age or income level, understand the basics of budgeting, how credit and debit cards work, and the implications of paying interest on loans and credit cards.

“The aim of these workshops is to hopefully teach young people some basic lessons on how to build a healthy relationship with credit, so they’re not stuck holding the bag a few years down the road,” said White. “When high school students graduate, they’re going to be brand new consumers, and they’ll have all kinds of credit cards thrown at them, so they

need to be aware of the pitfalls.”

White said a budget doesn’t have to be a scary thing.

“I just ask the kids to figure out how much fun their budget can handle, and stick to that number,” she said. “It’s a matter of planning. Just make sure you have enough money at the end of the month to pay the rent, the food and other necessities.”

White noted that attitudes to money are changing as technology and methods of payments change.

“Not many people ask for their receipts anymore,” she said. “But if you don’t keep track of how much you’re spending and what you’re spending it on, it’s hard to balance your income and expenses.”

She said cheque register books are still available at banks.

“Cheques are pretty much old-school now,” she said.

“They’re kind of going the way of the dodo bird, but the banks and credit unions still hand out the little books so you can keep track of your spending.”

White said with more and more people relying on their smartphones as a method of payment, there are several downloadable apps that perform the same function as the old-style pen-and-paper cheque register book.

“Some banks will give you an app that has a pie chart to show you how much you’re spending on wants compared to needs,” she said. “There are some amazing tools available.”
