KEEPS ON ROLLIN

Warman RCMP found themselves with an interesting accident scene on Sunday evening when they were advised of an abandoned car, a Chevrolet Cavalier, that had been rolled earlier in the day near Hepburn. According to police, witnesses offered the operator assistance but the driver decided to drive the heavily damaged car away instead. The Cavalier was followed by witnesses for a brief time and, at about 10:00 p.m., the car was reported to police as being on Wanuskewin Road, just over a kilometer south of Highway 11. RCMP on the scene were approached a short time later by another witness who had encountered the driver at a service station who said he had left his car on the side of the road out of gas. RCMP continue to investigate the accident and Highway Trafﬁc Safety Act charges against the driver are pending.

Premier applauds Warman for helping pioneer new facility funding initiative

FIRED RM Council votes to terminate administrator

Premier Wall cites community s vision, creativity during tour of new sport and cultural village

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park council voted to fire the municipality s long-serving chief administrative officer, Tammy Knutilla, at a special council meeting Friday, August 12. At the same meeting, the council voted to terminate its relationship with the law firm that has represented the RM since 1970, and also to make public a report by Winnipeg consultant Marilyn MacKenzie. The meeting was called on 24 hours notice by Reeve Mel Henry to deal with issues arising from an in-camera session held during a council meeting on Monday, August 8. While some councilors took issue with the way the meeting was called and the lack of a printed agenda, other councilors defended the timing and urgency of the meeting. A resolution to terminate the services of the RM s legal counsel was put forward by Division 7 Councilor Irene Pilka following a brief incamera discussion at Friday s meeting. Eight councilors, including Reeve Mel Henry, Len Kasahoff, Joe Kasahoff, Wendy Trask, Joanne Janzen, Irene Pilka, Bill Dyck and John Rempel, voted in favour of the resolution, while four councilors, including Perry Ulrich, Craig Riddell, Lynne Samson and John Germs, opposed the resolution. The reasons for terminating relations with the law firm were not disclosed by council. A subsequent motion put forward by Division 3 Councilor Lynne Samson to reinstate the law firm so it can be given an opportunity to address any concerns council may have was defeated, also by an 8 to 4 margin. Council then went back into an in-camera session. When the meeting was once again opened to the public and the media, Councilor Pilka put forward a motion to terminate the administrator, Tammy Knutilla. Pilka cited insubordination by Knutilla as just

Joined by Martensville MLA Nancy Heppner, Mayor Sheryl Spence as well as a host of other representatives from the Town of Warman, Prairie Spirit School Division, Stuart Olson Dominion Construction and a handful of curious residents, Wall was thoroughly impressed with the facility that is scheduled to open November 2. The stop in Warman also gave Wall an opportunity to explain how Heppner had made a strong case within cabinet that projects like the WSCV had fallen through the cracks. We had missed some rounds of funding that were available as a result of some stimulus initiatives on the part of government and yet this project was as worthy as any that we were aware of, Wall stated after the 45-minute tour inside the 100,000 square foot facility. Nancy facilitated a meeting that we had in the Legislature ‒ one that the mayor and councillors and senior ofﬁcials with the town attended ‒ to talk about the project, its importance in one of the fastest growing communities in western Canada, never mind the province, and we started to think creatively. There s something in the province we implemented right after the (2007) election called SIGI (Saskatchewan In-

frastructure Growth Initiative) and it was meant to provide help for communities to build lots, facilitate new residential development and new commercial lot development so communities could keep up with growth challenges. Wall said the WSCV project was one of four approved as part of a pilot project aimed at assisting communitites develop their respective recreation infrastructure. In fact, Warman scored the highest in the juried selection process and were approved for $6.6 million in funding. In addition to congratulating the community s municipal leaders for helping the province think creatively , Wall said the facility is one that sets the bar for the rest of the province. Incorporating a 1,300seat arena (expandable to 2,000 seats) as well as a family skating area, leaseable space for community groups and a ﬁtness centre, the WSCV will also feature two large indoor gymnasiums for sports such as basketball, volleyball, badminton and soccer. One of the gymnasiums will be a shared use facility with students and staff from the new middle years school

Prairie Spirit School Division Chair Larry Pavloff (far left), PSSD trustee Sam Dyck and Warman Town Manager Ivan Gabrysh took a few moments following the tour to discuss the new middle years school that will be attached to the WSCV

to be built in the next couple of years. The Premier added during his remarks that he and his government would love to see more communities follow the road that Warman has taken when it comes to development of infrastructure such as the WSCV. The levels of co-operation and the partnershp between the town and the school district is too unique. It s outstanding but it s too unique because we need to see it hap-

pen right across the province. What we saw on the rink side and the community side is wonderful, it s certainly an example for the province. But, what we saw happening on the other side, in terms of cooperation with the school division and the quality of the gym facilities students will have, that is remarkable. And this is what happens when local governments come together and hopefully you can do Continued on Page 19 Please see WSCV TOUR

cause for the termination. There was no discussion regarding the details of the case. The resolution instructed Knutilla, who was not present in the council chambers when the resolution was passed, to surrender all property belonging to the RM immediately. The motion to fire Knutilla passed by an 8 to 4 margin. Councilor Samson then put forward a motion to have the administrator reinstated until council has advice from legal counsel to determine the implications of dismissing an employee with just cause. Samson s motion was lost by a vote of 8 to 4. A motion was put forward by Division 5 Councilor John Rempel to release a report by Marilyn MacKenzie into an investigation into harassment allegations leveled against the Reeve earlier this year by some councilors and staff. Rempel said while he did not want the confidential names of the complainants released, he felt the public should have access to the report. He noted the MacKenzie report was largely supportive of the Reeve s actions, and added that since the ratepayers were paying for the report, they should be allowed to see what s in it. The author of the report, Marilyn MacKenzie, is a graduate of the University of Manitoba School of Social Work, and was appointed as Canada s first Sexual Harassment Officer in 1985. Her professional resume states that she founded MacKenzie Consultants in 1998 and has adjudicated over 700 cases of workplace harassment, in addition to holding expert witness status in both arbitration and litigation. A copy of the MacKenzie report was provided to the Gazette. The report s conclusion states in part that the harassment complaint appears to be a guise designed to dispatch the Reeve by submitting him to further embarrassment,

A yard and garden waste depot in Warman that was set up in early August for grass clippings and leaves may have to be discontinued if people continue to dump garbage in the bin. A collection of contaminated cardboard, food waste, fast-food containers and plastic bags was overflowing out of the bin on Monday, August 15, barely a week after the container was put in place. Despite a large sign indicating that garbage is not permitted, some people are ignoring the information, says Ivan Gabrysh, Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Warman. It s unfortunate, Gabrysh noted in an interview. The Town Council voted to set up the bin to accommodate a good program. We put the bin in a place where it s accessible to people, and there s a sign indicating that if the program is abused it will have to be discontinued. The yard and waste depot was implemented in response to concerns of ratepayers in Warman, notes Rachelle Irvine, utilities clerk for the town and coordinator of the program. We listened to our residents who were phoning in to the town office, Irvine explained. They said in the summertime they have a lot of grass clippings, and they required more space, because of the bi-weekly garbage pickup. So we re trying to accom-

modate the residents. Sharon Martens, a town councilor in Warman, said the people who are putting garbage in the bin are a small minority, but the program is in jeopardy because of their actions. There is a nearby receptacle for plastic bags, noted Martens. The idea is for people to bring their grass clippings in the bags, dump the grass into the bin, and then deposit the bag into the nearby red bin. Gabrysh said the centralized yard waste bin is the most cost-effective way of handling grass clippings. He added that Loraas Disposal

has a composting program for yard waste, but if the waste is contaminated, it all has to go to the landfill. He said the town bylaw officer will be monitoring the site, which is located across from the Warman Hotel on South Railway Street. Anyone found depositing garbage in the bin will be ticketed and fined, he added. Warman town council will be meeting at the end of August to evaluate the effectiveness of the yard waste collection bin, and a decision on the fate of the program will be made after that meeting, Gabrysh indicated. He urged residents to respect the pur-

pose of the program and ensure that garbage is not deposited into the bin.

The boom and bust of Saskatchewan oil

VIEWPOINT

Balanced budget is needed By Charles Lammam & Niels Veldhuis - Fraser Institute Recently, the National Post s editorial page celebrated the continuation of Canada s AAA credit rating, in light of the U.S. downgrade to AA+. While there s no doubt our fiscal health is relatively better than the United States and Europe, market volatility and declining commodity prices should not make us complacent. The Post noted that Canada had learned its lesson years ago. However, the way we see it, we re making the same basic mistakes Canadian governments made years ago: pinning our hopes for a balanced budget on a combination of significantly higher future revenues while trying to slow the growth in spending. In June, the federal government tabled a plan to balance the budget in five years. To get there, the Conservatives forecast revenues to grow at a robust average rate of 5.6% over the next five years while planning to hold program spending increases to an average rate of 2%. The problem with this plan is that, while the federal government directly controls the amount it decides to spend - though Canadians should exercise healthy skepticism, as the Conservatives track record on spending suggests it will be unable to hold the line at 2% - the government is exposed to revenue shocks that are beyond its control. Hence, a balanced budget plan that relies on robust average revenue growth of 5.6% is one with significant downside risk and little to no upside potential. Lower than forecast revenue growth will mean larger deficits and significantly more government debt. Like the incumbent Conservatives, the Progressive Conservative government in the late 1980s and early 1990s was predisposed to lower levels of government spending and balanced budgets. But failure to eliminate the deficit came from the Progressive Conservative s inability to constrain growth in spending, coupled with revenues lower than expected. That ultimately resulted in ongoing deficits and a loss of Canada s AAA rating in 1994. And now, just two months after the 2011 budget was tabled, the current government s fiscal plan is facing similar risks, with the possibility of a double-dip recession increasing. Given that Canada s economy is heavily tied to the United States, any material slowdown in the United States will have a negative impact on the Canadian economy, federal revenues and the Conservatives deficit-reduction plan. To reduce the frailty of the current fiscal plan and to set Canada apart from the rest of the world, the Canadian government must quickly balance its budget. First, Flaherty should ensure that program spending is returned to prestimulus levels. This can be achieved by greatly expanding the government s Strategic and Operating Review, currently a one-year review of program spending - excluding transfers to individuals and governments - which proposes to find a mere 2% in savings from the $352.5billion in departmental spending planned from 2012-13 to 2014-15. The expanded Strategic and Operating Review ought to prioritize spending so that important areas are spared deep cuts while lower-priority areas carry a greater burden of the spending reductions. A good starting point would be to significantly reduce or better yet, eliminate corporate subsidies, which have grown substantially under the Conservative regime. A two-year balanced budget plan would substantially reduce the risks associated with a revenue shock, like a slowing U.S. economy. Also, if revenues rebound robustly, the Conservatives could then implement a much needed multi-year plan to reduce personal income taxes. In the wake of the United States credit downgrade, the stock-market plunge was a reminder of the risks facing the Canadian economy. The U.S. economy is looking ever more fragile, sovereign-debt concerns are growing in Europe, and commodity prices are beginning to soften; all reasons why Canadians should feel increasingly uneasy about the government s fiscal plan. The Conservative government should use its new majority to implement the type of balanced-budget plan the Prime Minister and his colleagues once championed as opposition members.

There are worse things for provincial economies than being a slave to the ups and downs of oil. But, as the recent stock market swoon has shown, it isn t always the greatest thing, either. Of course, we in Saskatchewan should count our blessings when it comes to our relatively new oil wealth. Our history tells us that having it is a lot better than not having it. It was the discovery of oil in the late 1940s that pretty much defined the difference between Saskatchewan and Alberta. Prior to the discovery, Alberta was really no better off than Saskatchewan that, at the time, was finally recovering from the ravages of the Great Depression in the post-Second World War era. From that gusher at Leduc grew economic prosperity for Alberta and a lot of political reality and legend. Notwithstanding what some old timers will tell you about CCF Premier Tommy Douglas driving the oil companies out of the province, critical to Alberta s successful development was the availability of easily accessible light, sweet crude oil. There was simply more easily accessible oil within range of the Rocky Mountains foothills than there was under the bald, flat prairie of this province. Calgary became the logical place for the head office jobs in the oil sector, while Edmonton s refineries made it the secondary oil capital. As nice as it was to have all the royalty revenues from oil, it was the executive and processing jobs that drove Alberta s boom for decades. Moreover, while many will argue that left-wing politics and the desire of CCF-NDP governments to intervene either through higher royalties or direct government participation in the oil sector were the reasons that the oil companies stayed away, that abundance of easily accessible Alberta oil slowed exploration of oil anywhere else. However, the need for more oil and improved techniques in both oil exploration and extraction in the past 20 years have offered newfound opportunity for Saskatchewan. In fact, the discovery of southeast Saskatchewan s Bakken Play that also takes in an large swath of North Da-

MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics

kota and even the southwest corner of Manitoba and accompanying horizontal drilling techniques has now put Saskatchewan close to par with Alberta when it comes to drilling for conventional oil. With oil prices doubling in the past five years, Saskatchewan is finally capitalizing on its resource wealth. It s been a wondrous opportunity for this province, although ‒ as the markets recently taught us ‒ it s by no means perfect scenario. What the recent crash in the US and Canadian stock markets has reminded us is that our economy is dangerously vulnerable to the unpredictability of commodity prices. The March provincial budget pegged oil prices at a reasonable $93 US a barrel that was later revised to $100 US a barrel after the first-quar-

ter update of the 2011-12 budget in July. Spending decisions have been built around these assumptions. But while such projections were accurate for the first three months the rapid decline in oil prices ‒ including nearly a $6-a-barrel drop when the stock market fell 400-plus-points in a single day last week ‒ oil now hovers around $80 a barrel. Of course, $80 a barrel is hardly a tragedy ‒ especially in the context of oil being around $50 a barrel four years ago. But all this instability does make it hard for provincial governments to budget. And it s especially hard for Saskatchewan Finance when this province doesn t have the cushion of Alberta s head office and refinery jobs. Admittedly, eight other provinces would dearly love to have Saskatchewan s oil problem right now and we should remain thankful for our blessings. But dependence on oil does tie us to its boom and bust cycle. And we may now have to consider the consequences of a bust.

Reader Opinions RM boundary issue about democracy, not job security Contrary to Councillor Wendy Trask s opinion in the August 11 edition of the Clark s Crossing Gazette, the residents of the RM of Corman Park owe a large debt of gratitude to Garry Derenoski and his group of hard working concerned citizens who organized the petition that was presented to the RM Council July 25th calling for electoral boundary changes. It was quite remarkable that in a period of barely three weeks this group was able to amass in excess of 1,500 signatures demanding change. The unfortunate part of this story is that it shouldn t have been necessary for the concerned citizens to go to all that work. The Council has been aware for some consider-

able time that the present electoral boundaries are inequitable, indefensible and in need of change. As a matter of fact, Professor Joe Garcea from the University of Saskatchewan and Justice Peter Foley had previously been commissioned by the RM Council to conduct an electoral boundary review and bring recommendations to Council for their consideration. However, earlier this year at its March 14th meeting on a motion by Councillor Trask the Council voted to discontinue that review. Councillor Trask, who appears to be fully ensconced in the unacceptable status quo, has previously stated that the only reason some Council members even agreed to consider boundary changes in the ﬁrst inwww.ccgazette.ca

stance was they were under the impression the RM was legally obligated to change the boundaries. Once it was clariﬁed that this was not the case, but simply the right and proper thing to do, she quickly moved to dissolve the electoral boundary review. It is surprising that Councillor Trask continues with her assault on those folks who choose to live in multi-parcel subdivisions. On more than one occasion she has made negative comments about these lifestyle choices. She even took it a further step at the July 25th Council meeting by suggesting that when it comes to elections and voting rights that her vote should count considerably more than someone living in an

organized hamlet. Councillor Trask suggests that ratepayers living in hamlets do not pay their fair share of property tax. A closer look at the present ﬁscal arrangements might paint a very different picture. Current provincial legislation requires that RMs rebate to organized hamlets a minimum of 40 per cent to a maximum of 75 per cent of property tax. The RM of Corman Park Council has opted for the minimum. The hamlets are fully responsible to pay for all their infrastructure needs from this 40 per cent. It is well recognized that multiparcel residential development is the most cost-efﬁcient form of development as it relates to servicing. Not only are developers (and hence the people who buy the lots) obligated to

bear the total cost of infrastructure within the sub-division; they are also assessed additional off-site levies for the RM to use for infrastructure needs in other parts of the municipality. Councillor Trask laments that people living in organized hamlets should opt for the legal right to have a seat/position on Council rather than taking away representation from other parts of the municipality. Perhaps she should reﬂect on this suggestion. Currently there are 7 organized hamlets within the RM with a population of 100 or more. There is one other unorganized hamlet that would qualify to be organized. If they were all to opt for a seat on Council this would bring the total Continued on page 7

Hwy. 12 improvements made near Martensville

Workers use a crane to install the pylon sign at the new Tim Hortons currently under construction at the corner of Central Street and 6th Avenue in Warman on Wednesday, August 10. The restaurant is nearing completion and is slated to open soon, although no ofďŹ cial date has yet been announced.

A total of four kilometers of seal coating is being applied to the northbound passing lane of Highway 12 near Martensville. The cost of the project, which began the week of August 8, is estimated to be $53,000, according to the provincial Highways Ministry. The seal coating is being applied on the northbound passing lane from about 5 km south of the junction of Highway 12 and Highway 305 to the north. TrafďŹ c will be reduced to one lane through the work area until the project is completed later this month. The provincial Highways Ministry advises motorists to watch for highway crews as work continues to improve Saskatchewan s roads. Please be cautious and alert when approaching any road construction or highway activity ahead, Highways and Infrastructure Minister Jim Reiter said. Remember to also obey all ďŹ&#x201A;ag persons and slow to 60 km/hr when passing highway workers and equipment in the Orange Zone. Bridge work continues on Highway 1 near Rush Lake

the use of land for agricultural purposes to be paramount. Consequently there will be opportunity for the interest of all residents to be represented. The suggestion that you need 11 councillors to govern the RM because of how busy they are does not hold any water. The RM of Corman Park has an excellent professional and support staff who are more than capable of managing the day to day operations of the municipality. Perhaps a better use of the Council s time would be to provide oversight and vision to the business of the RM rather than micro-managing every detail of its affairs. It is hard not to conclude that this important issue of democratic reform and responsible government has devolved to an issue about job security. Some members of Council appear to enjoy the power and inďŹ&#x201A;uence they perceive goes with the position.

Governing by decree seems the way that business is being done these days. One senses the concern of some members of Council that they might have to run in a new Division or run against a fellow councillor should boundaries be altered. They have lost their way. Electoral reform is not about the elected, it is about the electors. The days of feudalism are long gone! It seems that the majority of Council, including the Reeve are quite happy with the present situation. Therefore, one shouldn t be surprised if there will continue to be challenges and impediments thrown up by Council prior to getting to a referendum. It will only through the ďŹ rm resolve of those citizens interested in democratic reform that we can be assured that everyone gets a chance to weigh in on this most important matter!

size of the Council to 20 and counting. This would surely dilute the vote that she professes to maintain. The population of the RM is probably somewhere around 8500. Twenty would be a ridiculous number of councillors. It should be noted that largest urban municipality in the province (Saskatoon) has a total (Mayor plus Councillors) of 11. The standard RM Council throughout the province consists of 6 councillors and a Reeve for a total of 7. The proposed reduction in the number of councillors from 11 to 8 will still leave the RM of Corman Park Council as the largest rural council in the province. The realignment of the electoral divisions will provide for a variance of up to 25% (plus or minus) from the average division. By way of comparison, urban municipalities are required to have a maximum variance of population per electoral district of only 10%. It should also be noted that the RM s OfďŹ cial Community Plan does identify

RM Council vows to Collision on Highway 11 results in death of motorcyclist make changes to road haul agreements in future By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A decision last spring to repair Township Road 391, a major haul road for gravel, was an expensive one for the RM of Corman Park council. The decision to repair and rebuild a section of the road, located in the northwest part of the RM, was made last April, and was aimed at ensuring the road could accommodate heavy traffic in time for the lifting of the provincial road ban. But when the bill for repairing the road came in from Mocon Construction, the gravel hauling company which also used the road to transport gravel from a pit near the North Saskatchewan River, the price tag was about $315,000 - a lot higher than councilors expected. According to Mel Henry, Reeve of the RM, it was a necessary decision given the circumstances, and the RM is obliged to pay the invoice. We made the decision to have that road repaired in ten days, and the repairs were made, Henry said during the RM council meeting on Monday, August 8. It s in great shape now. We committed the RM to pay the bill, and we are on the hook for that bill. But Division 3 councilor Lynn Samson said there should be room for negotiation on the invoice. She noted that Mocon was the only trucking company given permission to use Township Road 391 while the road ban was in place, and therefore should be held largely responsible for the road s deterioration. She also pointed out that Mocon had signed a road haul agreement that obliged the company to partially compensate the RM for damages to the road. Why should the ratepayers be burdened with the entire cost, she said. Mocon should be responsible for at least part of that total cost. Darryl Altman, Corman Park Director of Public Works, said the road haul agreement also requires the RM to maintain the road so it is capable of handling heavy traffic at 60 kilometers per hour. Some people may feel the road deteriorated because of the truck traffic alone, he said. But there was also other traffic

that contributed to the road s poor condition. The RM council resolved to beef up its road haul agreement and ensure that stronger regulations are put in place during periods when provincial road bans are in effect, particularly in the spring. The council also resolved to ensure gravel haulers and other transportation companies are contacted in the fall to ensure they are aware of potential road restrictions the following spring. The RM s overall gravel application program for 2011 is making progress, noted Altman. In his report to the council, he said approximately 30,000 cubic yards had been applied to roads by custom haulers as of August 4. The total cost so far was $193,096.14. He indicated municipal crews have commenced hauling gravel to grader zones 3 and 4. The gravel program should be completed by approximately September 15, 2011 if the weather holds, according to Altman.

One man is dead following a crash between a motorcycle and a grain truck at the south entrance to the town of Osler on Friday afternoon. Warman RCMP say the accident happened at about 3:00 on Highway 11 when the northbound motorcycle collided with the eastbound grain truck. The operator of the motorcycle, a male believed to be 55 years of age, was declared deceased at the scene. No other injuries were reported. Police added road conditions at the time of the accident were good and alcohol isn t believed to be a contributing factor. EMS from MD Ambulance and firefighters from Warman and Osler also responded to the scene. Northbound traffic was rerouted just north of Warman while accident reconstructionists completed their investigation. Northbound lanes of Highway 11 were re-opened to traffic just after 6 p.m. Police say charges against the driver of the grain truck are pending. The name of the

Woodworker creates furniture designed to last generations By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

For Nathan Gough, it s all about the details. Whether he s making a coffee table, kitchen cabinet, or rocking chair, there s a particularly satisfying moment that comes after all the hard work of measuring, sawing, routing, sanding and gluing is done. When the ﬁnal application of varnish or laquer goes on the piece, and the grain in the wood just jumps out at you and becomes so striking and brilliant, that makes it all worthwhile, said Gough. It s very gratifying. Gough is the owner of IHS Woodworks in Borden, which operates out of a building he leases from Bill and Charmaine Golding. The Goldings owned Delloy Pasta, which ofﬁcially closed down at the end of July after a 10 and a half year run, but Gough s woodworking shop has occupied the larger share of the building for several months.

Campers in Saskatchewan s Regional Parks are enjoying about 500 brand new campsites, in addition to numerous other capital upgrades, thanks to the province s increase in funding over the past four years. For 2011-12, the Government of Saskatchewan has allocated $1,023,000 - the highest funding in recent history - to the Saskatchewan Regional Parks Association for core operations and their capital grants program which assists Regional Park Authorities with facility upgrades and expansion. This brings the total government funding over four years to $3.15 million. That amount exceeds government s commitment in 2007 to provide $2.4 million to the Saskatchewan Regional Parks Association over four years. That s more than six times the $500,000 spent by the government in the previous four years. Saskatchewan s regional parks make a huge contribution to our province s tourism industry and quality of life, Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Bill Hutchinson said. The provincial government s funding is another example of our commitment to enhance the park system, boost the visitor experience and strengthen our communities as Saskatchewan moves forward. The capital grant program provides very good value for the money invested and is matched by the regional parks themselves, Saskatchewan Regional Parks Association President John Froese said. These funds help regional parks undertake improvements like new washroom facilities and campground revitalization and power upgrades, which many of them could not have done without this program. The capital grants help to address urgent regulatory deﬁciencies, occupational health and safety issues, capital maintenance, core facility repair, replacement and expansion, equipment purchases, park planning, engineering and design studies.

The Delisle Diamond Dogs Pee Wee softball team captured the Western Canadian championship in Winnipeg during the ﬁrst weekend in August. The gold medal at the championship tournament caps a successful season in the Saskatoon Minor Softball league, where the team went 12 and 1 in league play. In the playoffs during the last weekend in June, the team was winning when the games were rained out. Despite not being able to ﬁnish the playoffs, the team went on to compete at the Provincial Championships in Prince Albert during the July 1st weekend where they came in second to Prince Albert Astros. The top two teams (PA and Delisle) moved on to Westerns in Winnipeg Aug. 4-7th . A round robin was played on Thursday to Saturday afternoon, where Cala-

The Stamps held a 31-14 halftime lead and did enough things in the second half to hang onto the victory. If I knew the answer to that, I d be a rich man, Rider defensive coordinator Richie Hall said when asked how his players could come out so flat. Our heads just weren t in it in the first half. It was a complete role reversal from the team s prior games where the offense languished woefully while the defense held the team in games until the point where it was clear they weren t going to come back. We stunk on defense, huffed Marshall after the game. The first few weeks we weren t good defensively and were good on offense, then it flipped. Tonight we reverted back to the first two weeks of the season. The low light of the night was when they marched it right downfield late in the second quarter and it was like we weren t even

Delisle Diamond Dogs Western Champions

Riders’ coach trying to change it up Greg Marshall s dream job has turned into a nightmare. After waiting 17 long seasons as an assistant coach in the CFL, the former all-star defensive lineman couldn t wait to finally get his hands on the head coaching job with the league s flagship franchise, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, in 2011. However to say things haven t gone according to plan would be an understatement. Seven games into his first season, Marshall s Riders are a disappointing 1-6 and even the hardcore optimists in the Rider Nation are becoming more than a little discouraged. The most recent deflating loss came Friday night at Mosaic Stadium in a West Division showdown where the rival Calgary Stampeders romped out of town with a 45-35 victory, a score which greatly flattered the home side. It was the greatest offensive explosion of the year for the Riders as they gained over 500 yards and scored their highest point total of the season. However it was the defense who let them down Friday allowing Calgary to score on their first four possessions including three touchdowns.

on the ﬁeld with them. The lone silver lining is that the Riders are one of three clubs at 1-6 (along with BC and Toronto) and the team which gets its act together the quickest will get into the playoffs and then anything can happen. But right now the outlook is grim. The once-proud Riders aren t showing signs that they ll get their game together any time soon. I maintain this team has more talent than its record indicates but they re closing in on the halfway turn and rather than pulling together, they seem to be unravelling. That s where Greg Marshall comes in. He is a muchdecorated football man with a resume which speaks for itself. Right now his team is looking to him for the leadership and inspiration they require. The next 11 games will prove if he can get the job done. I believe he can.

In the playoffs Delisle beat Calahoo in the bottom of the 7th inning (7-6) to advance to the final, and Calahoo dropped down to play PA in the semi-final. Calahoo won a see-saw affair against PA in the semi-final and moved on to play us Delisle in the final.

The schedule, play and breaks seemed to go our way over the course of the weekend and the players responded when needed defensively and with the bats. The team would like to thank Teresa Shirley for all of her efforts in organizing, driving, coaching, and teaching these young men over the course of the season. We hope that with our success, it was all worthwhile.

Delisle hosts national archery competition By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The best archers in Canada converged on Delisle, Saskatchewan last week to compete in the Canadian National Archery Championships. The tournament, which attracted about 130 archers from across the country, including several world champions and members of the national Olympic team, was hosted by Thunderhead Archery Club of Delisle. It was the second time in the past decade the club has stepped onto the national stage, according to club president Gib Henderson. The club has been in existence for about 21 years now, Henderson explained in an interview August 12. We hosted the national championships for the first time in 2002.

ARCHERY

uses Recurve Bows, which are a more traditional style. The archer holds the arrow with full pressure before releasing it. One of the best Canadian archers in the Olympic program is Crispin Duenas of Toronto, who won the Canadian Senior Men s FITA championship at the Delisle tournament. Duenas, a 25 year old University of Toronto student, was a member of the 2008 Canadian Olympic Team. While he s aiming to be on the 2012 Olympic team, his ultimate goal is to win an Olympic medal. The Olympics are only once every four years, so you don t have many chances, Duenas explained in an interview. There s no bigger thrill than walking out during the Olympic opening ceremonies wearing your country s colours, and then competing so you can hear your national anthem at the end of the day. It s a very unique experience. LEVEL PLAYING FIELD The sport of archery also offers a level playing field for athletes who are disabled, notes Alec Denys of Ontario. He and Norbert Murphy of Quebec are both members of the Canadian Athletes With A Disability (AWAD) national archery team, and have competed in the paralympics for Canada. Murphy competed at the World Senior Men s championships in Torino, Italy in July, and is heading to Stoke, England later this month for another world championship tournament. I finished fifth at the world championships this year, explained Murphy. I m hoping to be in the top three at the event in England. Denys said archery is a totally integrated sport that allows everyone, regardless of age, gender, or physical disability, to compete head to head with other athletes. But he added that ultimately, all archers are competing against themselves as they try to beat their past scores. It s challenging both physically and mentally, he said. You have to be very aware of the conditions you re shooting in, and you have to concentrate on what you re doing.

sights set on winning the Junior Men s championship. That was actually my goal for this year, and I m shooting for it, he said. Perkins shoots a compound bow , the type that is used for bow-hunting. I ve been shooting since I was 11 years old, he said. My mom and dad used to shoot, so that s bsically how I got interested. I started out shooting 3D targets, and from there went into indoor and outdoor targets. I ve actaully only been shooting outdoors target for four or ﬁve years now. Perkins said while archery is a low-proﬁle sport, the rewards in reaching the top levels of competition are immense. I ve put a lot of work into this, and it s paid off, he explained. The sport has also helped me grow as a person, and I m really thankful to have had the opportunity to compete at all levels.

NEUFELD, Rubin Rubin Neufeld of Warman passed away suddenly early Wednesday morning, August 10, 2011, at the age of 58 years. Rubin was born February 12, 1953 in Rosthern to John and Agatha Neufeld. He was raised on a farm near Wingard, and attended Wingard School and later Duck Lake High School. Rubin married Bonnie Lavallie on June 25, 1977, and they settled in Warman where they raised their family. Rubin loved life and he lived it to the fullest. His garage and deck were always open to company. When his three boys were growing up, his passion was their hockey. He was lucky enough that he coached all three of them during their minor hockey years. He was a die-hard Toronto Maple Leafs fan, as his friends were well-aware. That s why he made a special room in the basement of his house to put all his Leafs memorabilia. Everyone that met Rubin loved him. He was always called Pa by the boys friends, and by some of his own friends as well. He has gone to join his Mom and Dad, his Mother-in-law and Father-in-law, Brother-inlaw (brother) Paris, and friend Mark. He leaves the rest of his family to love him always and to cherish his memory. Rubin leaves behind his wife Bonnie, sons Rubin (Kelly), Michael (Michelle), Danny (Veronica); as well as grandchildren Kadeyn, Trinity, Ryder, Aida and Carter; brothers George (Edith), Bill (Shirley), Brian (Twyla); sisters Kathy (Melvin), Annie (Ervin), twin sister Ruth, Brenda (George); brother-in-law Don (Alice); numerous nieces and nephews and cousins; as well as best friends Bill and George. The family wishes to thank everyone for all the support they have received since Rubin s sudden and unexpected passing. Special thanks to Martens Warman Funeral Home. A memorial service and celebration of Rubin s life was held at the family home in Warman on Saturday, August 13. A private family interment ceremoney will follow at a later date at Wingard, Saskatchewan.

anxiety, and ultimately forcing his resignation. It forms part of a series of misguided and malicious attacks on the Reeve consistent with a comprehensive plan to force his removal. Such activities interfere with the Council s ability to conduct the normal business of the Municipality of Corman Park in a cost effective and efficient manner. The report goes on to say that Reeve Henry was elected by a significant majority and he deserves the opportunity to function as Reeve without dealing with the effects of a dysfunctional agenda presented by a small group wanting to impeach and humiliate him. Division 9 councilor Wendy Trask said the decision by the RM council to fire the administrator had nothing to do with the recent harassment complaint. The majority of council acted upon a totally separate issue. She added that we can now move forward in a healthy, positive direction in the best interests of the RM and the ratepayers.

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN Moments with that special someone become rare with summer activities kicking into gear. Relish what time you do have together and work to make it special, Capricorn.

CANCER Get ready to fire up the grill, Cancer. Friends and family are clamoring for a get-together and you re just the one to host it. A mission in organization is accomplished.

AQUARIUS You re not one to complain, but you have reason, so go ahead and pitch a fit, Aquarius. That is the only way you are going to get people s attention.

LEO Changes in diet prove not enough to reach a goal. Consult a professional for further advice, Leo. More free time at home allows for the start of a project.

PISCES You ve put off a chore at home long enough, Pisces. Gather the troops and make quick work of it. A shortage of funds calls for some clever planning.

VIRGO The waiting is torturous, but it will soon be over, and you ll love the outcome, Virgo. A kitchen experiment tickles the taste buds of the choosiest.

ARIES Your home bristles with activity with the arrival of houseguests. Keep the good times going with fun outings, Aries. A deadline is extended at work.

LIBRA Cash flows increase, paving the way for an addition. You have that special someone to thank, Libra. A second look at an account uncovers potential.

TAURUS Your to-do list at work dwindles with strategic planning. A breakdown in communication gets tempers flaring at home. Do your best to set things right, Taurus.

SCORPIO Airing your dirty laundry in public is not your style, Scorpio. However, that s the only way you re going to motivate a relative to make a change for the better.

GEMINI A relative makes good on their promise. Show your appreciation with a small gift, Gemini. A truce is reached among friends. Bring everyone over to celebrate.

SAGITTARIUS While the evidence may say otherwise, you should continue to support a friend. Something is amiss, Sagittarius, and they are not at fault.

that with the support of the provincial government. Certainly that s the case with respect to the school as we re pleased to see that moving forward fully ﬁnanced and ready to get building as soon as the design work is done in September or, as I ve been told, maybe even earlier. In her introductory address, Spence said it s been a long journey but when push comes to shove it s important to keep focused on the goal. We ve encountered some hurdles and some disappointments along the way, she remarked. We ve grown from them and we ve realized that we need to be more creative a little bit more bolder. It s all coming together and I can t say how happy we are about that. Our priorities will always be our children, our families and our community. Wall concluded the tour by congratulating the Town of Warman on its state-of-the-art recreation facility and looks forward to coming back to town for the November 2 opening. I just want to say on behalf of the province thank you Mayor Spence, to the rest of the council as well as all the volunteers who continue to support the (WSCV)to make it the vanguard of recreational developments right across the province, Wall stated.

WOODWORKER Works of Art Furniture in Saskatoon. It was like an apprenticeship when I worked at that shop, recalled Gough. The ﬁrst year, I did an awful lot of sanding, but over the course of three years, I learned how to build furniture properly, using a lot of the techniques that have been around for decades. Gough said there are two primary differences between massproduced and hand-crafted furniture and cabinetry: the quality of the wood, and the techniques used in the construction. Hand-built furniture uses a mortise and tenon method to join pieces of wood together. The mortise and tenon joint has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to connect pieces of wood at right angles to each other. In its basic form it is both simple and strong. Although there are many joint variations, the basic mortise

and tenon comprises two components: the mortise hole (female) and the tenon (male). The tenon, formed on the end of a member generally referred to as a rail, is inserted into a square or rectangular hole cut into the corresponding member. The tenon is cut to ﬁt the mortise hole exactly. The joint may be glued, pinned, or wedged to lock it in place. This joint is also used with other materials. For example, it is a traditional method for stonemasons and blacksmiths. The technique has been around a long time, and it s a tried-and-true way of making something that lasts, said Gough. That s why antique hardwood furniture is so sought-after. It s solid and sturdy. You might see old furniture where the glue has started to fail, but if you just pull it apart, clean it up, put more glue in it and put it back together, it s going to last another hundred years.
