Firefighters save homes as fire levels garage in Warman

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A

fire which destroyed a detached garage in Warman on Tuesday, February 7, could have been much worse.

Firefighters from Warman, Osler and Martensville responded to a blaze that started about 1:00 p.m. in a detached garage at a resisdence on 4th Street West.

The fire spread quickly, and in a matter of minutes the building was fully engulfed in flames, sending a plume of thick black smoke high into the air.

There were no injuries in the fire. No one was home at the residence or neighbouring houses at the time.

The intense heat melted the siding on the nearby house, as well as adjacent residences. A fence beside the burning garage also caught fire.

Despite the intensity of the blaze, firefighters were able to get it under control fairly quickly, and had it virtually extinguished by 1:45.

Warman RCMP also responded, providing traf-

A pumper truck from the Warman fire department arrived first and hooked hoses up to a hydrant in a neighbour’s yard. Pumper trucks arrived shortly afterward from Osler and Martensivlle.

Warman Fire Chief Gord Thompson said the fire was confined to the garage, “with some damage done to the property owner’s house and

the neighbour’s house to the east” - mostly to the vinyl siding and the deck.

Thompson said the fire occurred at one of the worst times of the day, when most of the volunteer firefighters are not in town.

“That’s why Osler and Martensville responded as well, because they will come for mutual aid backup,” said Thompson. “We’re all short during the day. We have an agreement between our communities, and it pays off when things like this

happpen.”

Thompson said the cause of the blaze won’t be known until an investigation is completed.

Sean and LeVawn Underwood, who live next door to the property where the fire occurred, arrived home to see firefighters mopping up the last of the blaze.

“It could have been much worse,” said LeVawn Underwood. “No one was home, and they were able to save the houses.”

Sean Underwood was also relieved. “There’s some damage, but it can be repaired,” he said. “We’re very thankful.”

HIGH IMPACT HAZARDS

The intersection at Wanuskewin Road and Highway 11 is one of the busiest in the province, particularly at peak traffic times.

What can be done to prevent serious collisions at highway intersections?

Motor vehicle collisions at high-traffic volume intersections are a concern for police and highway planners

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

With over 40,000 vehicles travelling on five major highways every day on the north and west side of Saskatoon, the potential for collisions is high.

And the odds increase every day as the population increases and the economy continues to grow.

“It’s a serious problem,” notes Sgt. Warren Gherasim of the Warman RCMP Detachment. “With the increase in traffic volume comes the requirement that more attention needs to be paid to driving. Driving is a high-risk activity.

We’re talking about thousands of pounds of metal and glass hurtling down the highway at speeds well in excess of 100 kilometers per hour.”

Gherasim said the “physics of being involved in a collision at those speeds is such that there isn’t an air bag on this planet that can save you every time.”

He noted that while engineers have made tremendous progress in making both highways and vehicles safer, ultimately it is up to drivers.

“There is no safety feature out there that works anywhere near as good as good human judgment,” said Gherasim.

of Highway 11 and Wanuskewin Road. Two weeks ago, a pair of collisions less than 24 hours apart sent several people to hospital with serious injuries. On both occasions, the collisions were caused by a driver attempting to cross the four-lane divided highway when it was unsafe to do so.

The most recent fatality at the intersection occured June 21, 2011, when a passenger in a pickup truck died when the vehicle he was riding in collided with a southbound vehicle crossing the highway.

According to the most recent statistics available from Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI), there were 21 major accidents at the intersection of Highway 11 and

Traffic blitzes focus on safety concerns

A

key part of the RCMP’s efforts to improve safety at highway intersections is periodic traffic blitzes to catch motorists who ignore stop signs and yield signs.

“Intersection traffic violations have been one of the primary components to most of our injury and fatal motor vehicle collisions in the detachment area, so we pay particular attention to that,” said Sgt. Warren Gherasim of the Warman RCMP detachment. “We have developed a traffic plan that essentially will be our method of operating from now on, We find that there is a more positive impact from concentrated enforcement activities.”

Gherasim said focusing on specific problem areas is more effective in improving traffic safety and changing people’s bad habits.

“Rather than driving around and trolling for violators, we find it’s more effective to direct our enforcement at certain locations at certain times of the day,” he said. “We generally find we get a lot more public interest when that happens.”

Gherasim said “coffee row lights up when they hear that the Mounties wrote 50 tickets at the Warman south access the other morning.”

He added it is an educational effort as well as an enforcement practise.

“We’ve seen anecdotal evidence to indicate that there are increased levels of compliance with those controls at those interesctions now. So word gets out. You write 50 or 60 tickets and you get on the news and then people get the message. So the educational component of those operations is as important as the tickets we write. We want to modify the behaviour at those locations.”

Gherasim said in addition to stop sign and yield sign violations, the RCMP is targeting “distracted drivers” who text or talk on cell phones, as well as seatbelt violations. He noted that drivers who text are 23 times more likely to be involved in a motor vehicle accident than drivers who are not distracted.

“It’s every bit as serious as impaired drivers,” he said. “We encourage drivers who see others texting or talking on cell phones to call 911 and report them.”

WANUSKEWIN, HIGHWAY 11

The Warman RCMP detachment is responsible for coverage of 5 major highways on Saskatoon’s northern and western boundaries, including Highway 11, Highway 12, Highway 16, Highway 14, and Highway 7. There are an estimated 40,000 vehicles daily on those roads, and at peak times, the congestion at intersections is a major concern.

Gherasim said the worst location for accidents is the intersection 10 YEAR 400,000 KMS

Wanuskewin Road in the period from 2005 to 2010 inclusive. On average, there are four major accidents every year, half of which result in serious injury.

Gherasim said the majority of the collisions at the intersection take place during the daylight hours, and most occur when road conditions and visiblity are good, regardless of the season.

“What is surprising is that the colisions are almost exlusively happening in broad daylight,” he said.

“We also know that these are not the result of impaired driving or any of those issues.”

Balancing Act: Health region program aims to help seniors avoid injury from falls

and half the people over age 80, will fall this year,” she said. “Over 90 per cent of hip fractures are caused by falls, and 72 per cent of falls occur within a person’s home.”

Barnes said there are four categories of risk factors, including: biological health, behaviour, social lifestyle and environment/surroundings.

While age is one component of biological health, she noted that others include medications and medical conditions.

She said behavior patterns such as taking risks or developing a fear of falling and wearing inappropriate footwear also put people at risk.

Lifestyle factors often involve people not getting enough exercise to keep their minds and bodies as responsive and healthy as they can.

Environmental conditions like icy or slippery sidewalks, narrow stairs without proper handrails and dimly lit rooms are also a concern.

“So the big risks factors are basically if you don’t exercise, if you have reduced physical strength and balance, if you don’t pay attention and you take chances, then you’re more like to experience a fall,” she

ne in three seniors over the age of 65 are likely to experience a serious, unexpected fall this year, and nearly half of those falls could result in hip fractures.

But the good news is that falls are not inevitable, and older adults can take steps to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.

Janet Barnes and Jo Ann Walker Johnston are with a program called “Continuing Care and Seniors Health”.

The Saskatoon Health Region (SHR) professionals developed the program three years ago and have worked with community groups to help seniors stay independent and healthy. They presented a forum in Langham on February 3 on preventing falls. The forum was sponsored by the Saskatoon Council on Aging (SCOA).

Barnes said accidental falls become a concern for older adults because as our bodies get older, we cannot recover from falls as quickly as younger people.

“You need to be aware of risk factors and the causes of

Janet Barnes and Jo Ann Walker Johnston coordinate a program to help seniors avoid serious injuries due to falls. falls, in order to reduce your risk of falling,” she explained to a group of seniors at the forum. “Falls are not a normal part of aging.”

Barnes said many people are reluctant to tell their families that they have fallen because they fear they could lose their independence. They also decline to use walking aids like canes and walkers for the same reason.

“Ironically, canes and walkers can actually boost a person’s independence,” not-

ed Barnes. “Many people also develop a fear of falling, and they tend to stay indoors and get less exercise. That’s not always healthy, because you need regular exercise to keep your strength up and maintain your natural balancing reflexes. Besides, most falls actually happen inside the home, particularly in the bedroom and bathroom.”

Barnes said the potential for serious injuries from falls increases as a person ages.

“One in three people over 65,

Public’s help needed to enforce dog defecation bylaw

By TERRY PUGH

hen you take your pooch out for a walk, it’s your responsibility to clean up after the animal once its finished doing its “business.”

That’s the message that the Bylaw Enforcement Officer for the Town of Warman wants to get out to residents.

Not only is the sight of dog poop on sidewalks, parks and walkways disgusting, it’s also a danger to public health.

“There is a $200 fine for failing to pick up after your dog defecates,” said Wade Eberle, referring to the penalty for violation contained in the Town of Warman animal control bylaw. “It’s a stiff penalty,

but it’s there for a reason.”

He said there is a serious problem of dog feces left in areas such as playgrounds and sports fields. “These are places where kids are running around and playing, and occasionally falling down,” explained Eberle. “It’s not uncommon for a kid to accidentally come into contact with that stuff, and it’s a real health concern.”

Eberle said it appears many people are either not aware of the bylaw or are simply ignoring it, because the problem of defecation left in public areas, and also on private property, is getting worse.

He said while the majority of dog owners in town are responsible, cleaning up defecation and keeping their dogs on leash, it appears an irre-

sponsible minority is creating problems. “It’s not as if it’s a hard thing to do,” Eberle said.

“It’s a matter of taking a plastic bag along with you on your walk.” For those dog owners who occasionally forget, the town provides a number of dog “comfort stations” with plastic bag dispensers in public parks and along many popular dog walking trails.

Unfortunately, he noted, people are still breaking the bylaw and it is difficult to catch violators. “It’s simply not possible to patrol all the parks and sidewalks in Warman twenty-four hours a day,” Eberle said, adding that assistance from the public is needed to help turn the trend around.

“It’s a problem for the

said. “The good news is that most falls can be prevented.”

Jo Ann Walker Johnston said health professionals and the SHR are taking the problem of falls, and the associated medical costs, more seriously.

She said by changing their habits, people can lessen the chance of falling. “For example, if you have a tendency to try to stand up too quickly or move to quickly, then you’re more likely to be unsteady and fall.”

Johnston, a physiotherapist, demonstrated several simple exercises that people can perform on a regular basis to help them maintain and improve their balance and strength.

She said regular exercise for 30 to 60 minuets per day is recommended. A kit outlining the exercises and providing helpful tips is available from the Saskatoon Health Region and the Saskatoon Council on Aging by phoning 652-2255.

Warman Kindergarten Elementary 2012-2013 School Planning has begun for our fall classes.

Parents / guardians of children born in 2007 are asked to contact the Warman Elementary School office at

Information and forms will be mailed in early February to those who have contacted the school.

whole community,” he said. “It would be very helpful to have people provide information to the town when they witness these violations.” Eberle said people do not have to provide their names, and the information they provide will remain confidential. “Sometimes people are reluctant to say anything because they don’t want to face retaliation. But if we’re going to make a difference, then people who are ignoring the bylaw need to be aware that violations are unacceptable.”

Eberle said people can contact the Warman bylaw enforcement officer by e-mail at wadee@warman.ca and provide details of the incident they witnessed, or they can call 229-8901.

the collisions to drivers’ impatience and “willingness to accept a high degree of risk to try and get across two or four lanes of traffic” for the sake of saving a few seconds off their trip.

“I think people have to wrap their heads around the fact that these are double-lane highways and the speed limits are at the maximium of 110 kilometers per hour,” he said.

“And whenever you’re dealing with multiple lanes, high speeds and large traffic volumes, you have a responsibility to take the necessary time and precautions before you try to cross that highway.”

Gherasim said the law requires that drivers stop completely at stop signs, and not just roll slowly through. “People aren’t giving themselves enough time to process all the information,” he said. “Lets face it, with high speeds and multiple lanes, it takes several seconds for your brain to judge distances and times and come to an accurate decision.”

Another concern at the intersection is the traffic congestion at peak times. In the morning commute hours, for example, south-bound vehicles trying to turn left onto Wanuskewin Road from Highway 11 can get so backed up they occasionally enter into the passing lane.

The other major highway intersections which concern police include those at Highway 11 and Highway 305 (Warman main entrance), Highway 11 and Township Road 384 (Warman south entrance), Highway 12 and Township Road 384 (Martensville main entrance), and Highway 16 and 60th Street (Auction Mart Road). The intersection of Highway 16 and Boychuk Drive on Saskatoon’s southeast corner is also a site of frequent accidents.

Gherasim said in addition to the concerns about traffic attempting to cross divided highways at those intersections, the Warman north entrance has an issue when it comes to traffic turning southbound onto Highway 11 from Warman. The merge lane runs up an incline of the overpass that crosses the CN main line.

“What happens is the ruup lane merges at the top of the overpass, and we have had no shortage of collisions up there,” he said. “You only have

5 volumes are increasing, and are not likely to decrease at any point in the future, so motorists need to drive according to the conditions they encounter.

The road can be engineered to be as safe as possible, but it’s still up to drivers to take responsibilty as well, he noted.

to look at the guardrail to see all the damage that occurs up there to know that on occasion it becomes almost a pinball machine as people are bouncing around.”

HIGHWAY STUDY Many people have suggested that highway overpasses at these critical intersections would make them safer and facilitate traffic flow.

Gherasim agrees, but notes that overpasses are big ticket items that cost a lot of money.

“Overpasses would definitely make a difference,” he said. “And if one is built, then the one that should be at the top of the list is at Wanuskewin Road and Highway 11.”

Gherasim said people shouldn’t expect that kind of expensive infrastructure anytime soon.

“The reality is that the Ministry of Highways looks at these projects from an actuarial perspective,” he said. “Intersections that involve overpasses and cloverleaf designs are extremely expensive. Before the province makes that kind of investment, they’re going to do an evaluation to determine to what degree they can positively impact the intersection.”

In fact, that’s exactly what’s been happening for the past year. Several studies are currently underway.

Doug Wakabayashi with the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure said the province is partnering with the City of Martensville, the Town of Warman and the RM of Corman Park on a long-term planning study for Highways 11 and 12 between where the future Perimeter Highway will be located and the new route of Highway 305.

“We’re looking at all the key intersections on both Highway 11 and Highway 12,” explained Wakabayashi in an phone interview from Regina. “The first phase is nearing completion and we’ll be discussing the findings at the next public open house.”

Wakabayashi said the study will identify conerns, such as those raised by the RCMP detachment, and propose immedate options to address safety issues.

“Some of the immediate options that could be put in

place fairly quickly include things like area lighting, improved signage, turning lanes and other improvements,” said Wakabayashi. “We will be looking at the collision history, the current traffic volumes, and do site inspections.”

He said the second phase of the long-term study will identify and prioritize short and long-term options and also draw up a proposed timeline for implemention.

He noted that one of the issues that is being studied is the location of appropriate access points and the type of infrastructure neeeded at those intersections.

“We have to look at future developments and potential future interchange locations,” he said. “We did a functional planning study with the City of Saskatoon a while ago, and we have an identified route for the Perimeter Highway that is not likely going to change.”

He said a similar study looking at Highway 1 east of Regina was carried out recently, and “within a year after the final report was received, all the immediate recommendations, such as on-ramps, had either been implemented or were in the process of being implemented.”

Wakabayashi said the economic growth and population boom in Saskatchewan poses a challenge for Highways planners as they try to manage the increased traffic volume on the roads.

“We work very closely with the communities to make the roads safe and make sure any interchanges are built in the best places,” he said. “We need a good long-term sound plan to guide development of

transportation into the future.”

Wakabayashi said people need to understand that traffic

PATIENCE SAVES LIVES Gherasim agrees that drivers themselves are ultimately the key to saving lives.

“It’s about planning, and it’s also about patience,” Gherasim said. “People can avoid almost all of these types of collisions. It’s like the saying that driving instructors tell their students: ‘keep your eyes up. Get the big picture.

Look at what’s happening further down the road, not just at the space immediately in front of your car.’ It’s good advice.”

He said a vehicle travel-

ling at 100 kilometers per hour or faster is covering 100 meters per second.

“You simply don’t have any opportunity to make sudden stops at highway speeds in the next 100 meters,” he said.

“You need to be looking 200 or 300 or 400 meters down the road so you can perceive whatever obstacles might be coming at you, because that’s ultimately what you need in terms of reaction time.”

Gherasim said people need to plan for road conditions and realize that with increased traffic volumes, it’s going to take longer to reach their destination.

“People who have lived in Warman or Martensville or some other community for a long time were used to getting into the city in 15 miutes,” he said. “Well, now it’s taking 20 or 25 minutes, and the reality is that people have to adjust.”

MPs should have free speech on pensions

You likely noticed the fuss kicked up by Saskatoon Humboldt MP Brad Trost over the “ironclad” discipline demanded by the federal governments like Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative regime.

From one perspective, one has to admire Trost’s pluck. He clearly speaks the truth when it comes to this particular administration having little tolerance for caucus members that speak out of turn. The mere mention of this as a problem will likely mean a dead end for Trost’s career – not that it was going anywhere fast, anyway.

Less admirable, however, is the sense you get that this particular MP really wants this because he is more eager to express his own views than the concerns of his constituents.

Trost has become known as a strong advocate for social conservative issues including ending abortion and Planned Parenthood funding over-

Provincial Politics

seas and opposing gay rights issues.

Admittedly, one should never criticize a politician – or anyone – for their strong personal beliefs. But, ironically, Trost has had little trouble voicing his opinion these issues. Where we haven’t heard much from him are on the issues more critical to the broader swath of voters that selected him to represent them in Ottawa.

For instance, Trost was one the harshest critics of the former Liberal regime when it refused to remove energy resource revenue from the equalization formula. He once said in his MP’s newsletter that Saskatoon could build 26 overpasses with the

approximate $800 million a year Saskatchewan would gain if non-resource revenues were excluded.

The Conservatives promised to do precisely that in the 2006 federal election campaign, but quickly broke their campaign pledge. But did we hear a single word from Trost or any of the province’s 12 Conservative MPs on their government’s unwillingness to keep their promise?

And what did Trost have to say when Australian mining giant BHP Billiton was attempting to take over PotashCorp? When Premier Brad Wall was begging for federal MP help, Trost said he didn’t know what Brad Wall wants.

So maybe we need to ask Trost why he truly wants to be unburdened by his shackles of silence? Is he just interested in further pushing his own hobbyhorse issues that Harper doesn’t to stifle because they cost the Conservatives votes elsewhere in

Canada? Or after a six-year-gag order imposed by the Harper government, does he finally recognize the importance of speaking up on behalf of constituents?

Well, one good way to find out would be if Trost started by demanding clarity and fairness on federal government’s intentions on public pensions.

Exactly what changes the Harper government is contemplating is the critical question. Perhaps they really don’t go much further than increasing the collection age to 67 from 65 years although even that is a serious issue meritorious of debate.

What is evident, however, is this government is in a big hurry to make these changes to happen. Mere days after musing in Davos, Switzerland about the cost of social programs on European economies and the need for pension reform in Canada, Harper’s government was already moving

to limit debate on a pension reform bill.

Less evident, however, is whether such changes are needed.

Yes, voices like the C.D. Howe Institute projects a possible unfunded liability of $2.8 trillion, largely based on fewer working children paying for more aging baby-boomer parents at the current level of benefits. But other research right from Harper’s own government suggests Canada’s pension system is in far better shape than pensions in European nations. In fact, an analysis from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and the World Bank says: “Canada does not face major challenges of financial sustainability with its public pension schemes.”

So if Trost and others are sincere about wanting the right to speak up, perhaps the best place to start would be this pension debate.

Reader Opinions

Internal squabbles around RM council table destructive Recent events in the RM of Corman Park are a cause of concern for many ratepayers. While a complete and accurate picture is unavailable for most residents of the RM, it is undeniable that there are problems among councillors and the Reeve. Unfortunately, the more that is revealed in this ongoing saga, the less favorable an impression is made by all those involved with the conflict, regardless of the facts behind the story.

One of the most recent issues is the petition circulating concerning the division of the RM into two new municipalities along the boundary of the river. While the Reeve and councillors are free as ratepayers to become involved with such a petition, it is realistically impossible to distance this undertaking from their jobs as part of the administration of the RM. The prevailing perception among many ratepayers will be that the councillor / Reeve is unable to separate their role as a ratepayer from their role in the RM’s administration, and as such will carry a bias into their governing duties. While this may not in fact be the case, the perception will still exist. This is part of the nature of politics, and the best course advisable would be for all councillors and the Reeve to refrain from taking part in the petition process.

It is very discouraging to read that many ratepayers have signed such a petition when there is little factual knowledge of the potential impact. Certainly, the dismantling of the RM of Corman Park would be a time-consuming and costly affair and the division of assets and employees should not be undertaken lightly. To support such a proposed division without an underpinning plan is akin to buying a house to get out of an undesirable apartment without looking at the house or knowing its price. Such an action would be preposterous to most

Gazette

rational individuals, yet this is what seems to be happening with regard to the petition where decisions seem to be based on emotion rather than rational thought.

One of the problems driving the petition is the lack of information concerning the conditions in all areas of the RM. One editorial writer indicated that the south portion of the RM benefits at the expense of other areas. While it is easy to make this assumption, there are many problem areas in the south as well. As a resident of the southern part of the RM, the much-touted gravel program was not in evidence along my roadway access. Further, one vehicle required garage service due to problems from mud in the fall (which gravel would have alleviated), and another also required maintenance due to inadequately plowed roads from the January snowfall leading to snowpack issues. This is part of country life, but serves to illustrate the point that it is difficult to make blanket assessments about conditions in other areas of the RM when you do not reside in them.

It has also been very disappointing to read published remarks of councillors concerning the divisiveness among the council. The suggestion from one councillor that the only option is to divide the RM since the councillors can’t get along is irresponsible. This is penalizing the ratepayer for personality conflicts which should be irrelevant to the governing of the RM. Different viewpoints are desirable, and should be the foundation of fruitful discussion among mature adults. Unfortunately, if the reported accounts of council happenings are accurate, maturity seems to be lacking.

If a councillor feels the administration is unable to productively coexist and that there is no hope for the RM in its current state, a good opportunity is coming for them to remove themselves from the administration

by not seeking re-election in the upcoming election. This would truly put the interests of all ratepayers ahead of any personal agendas which may or may not be in play. The ratepayers are not interested in paying higher property taxes to fund an inefficient government that is unable to make sound decisions due to infighting. When siblings squabble, parents do not care who “started it”, they only care that the fighting stops. In this case, the RM ratepayers are the “parents” who want nothing more than peace in the household. The squabbling manifests as a lack of respect for fellow councillors and the ratepayers with no party benefitting.

A fundamental precept of becoming involved in municipal politics is a desire to serve community and all those serving are to be commended. Abstaining from derogatory comments against fellow councillors and the Reeve and withdrawal from participating in the petition of dividing the RM would illustrate a commitment to fair-minded politics and community service. Such restrained behavior would help to restore the faith of some ratepayers in the ability of the current administration to successfully govern the RM. There are many talented and knowledgeable individuals in the RM. If this expertise is applied to fair and mature government of a unified RM, with a common sense approach, the current issues can be resolved productively which will benefit all ratepayers. This serves as a plea for each ratepayer to consider all potential long-term implications of any actions with regards to the RM with a complete critical and unbiased analysis before coming to any decisions and for all councillors and the Reeve to act with a maturity befitting their status as elected officials.

Corman Park heading for changes The R.M. of Corman Park is destined to go through some major changes. A plebiscite held last fall resulted in the R.M. being reduced from 11 divisions to 8. Three representatives were lost from the northern area and left that area feeling ‘snubbed’. The underlying issue here is the lack of cooperation among the present councillors. A ‘power struggle’ was created between the northern (land based) area and the southern (more populated) area. The ‘power struggle’ is in-

dicative of the 2 diverse groups and a split in the R.M. is inevitable with the river becoming the natural dividing line. It is unfortunate that the organizers of last fall’s plebiscite did not comprehend the consequences of their actions. Cooperation from all councillors may have avoided the present situation and we would not be faced with the frustrations of dividing the R.M. Concerned ratepayer George Rathgeber

Riding for the Cure Saskatchewan sled trek raises funds for cancer research

O

ver $184,000 was raised by this year’s edition of the Prairie Women on Snowmobiles (PWOS) mission, a 1000-kilometer trek across Saskatchewan. The money will go towards research on treatment and prevention of breast cancer.

“It was a life-changing

experience,” said Lisa Zunti of Warman. “Just to see all the people who come out to support the cause, and to realize what a difference the funds are making. It affects you a lot to hear all the stories out there and meet people who are cancer survivors. It’s very touching.”

February 3, faced some challenges because of the unseasonably mild weather and lack of snow, according to Carol McKnight, President of PWOS and coordinator of this year’s trek.

“We had really tough snow conditions but the mission was a success anyway,” McKnight said in an interview at the Saskatoon Snowmobile Clubhouse as the sleds were unloaded from a flatdeck trailer and prepared for the final short run north to Warman’s Brian King Centre. “The girls really pulled through and we made our venue stops as planned. In past years we’ve faced severe cold temperatures like minus 40, but we’ve never seen snow conditions this bad before.”

The women were only able to drive their snowmobiles for four days out of the eight-day trek, and relied on a fifteen-passenger van as well as a Peterbilt semi-trailer unit to transport their sleds from place to place.

They also had one machine break down, and were fortunate to have a replacement sled donated by a dealer in Humboldt.

McKnight said the mission generated $184,170.56 toward breast cancer research and treatment, but said it will take a few days before the actual total is calculated because donations are still coming in.

She said while the amount of money raised varies from year to year, it shows the level of commitment and generosity of the people of Saskatchewan.

The riders stop at least

three to four times per day in different communities, and the reception is tremendous everywhere they go, noted McKnight.

“The momentum is building every year,” she said. “The support is very strong in those communities where we have visited before. And every year the level of awareness is growing and we see more and more survivors coming forward to share their stories with us.”

McKnight said at their last stop in Asquith, a sixyear old girl who was taking treatments for leukemia requested one of the PWOS pins.

“It gets tough when you see kids that are stricken with cancer,” said McKnight. “And the good thing is that when we go into the schools and we talk to the kids they go home and talk to their parents about the importance of checking for signs of cancer. If a person can catch the disease early on, they have a better chance of being a survivor.”

Despite being unable to ride the full distance, Kelli Hayward of Warman, another one of the riders, said she would like to participate in the event again at some point. She noted that the group of women formed close friendships as they travelled the province.

“Well, we spent four days together in the van, so yeah, we really got to know each other pretty well,” she said.

“It was kind of disappointing that we weren’t able to ride the sleds the whole way, but for those portions of the route where there was

The women and their families hauled their snowmobiles to Humboldt for the start of the trek, and were able to begin their journey in style.

“We started off the first morning in Humboldt and rode to Lanigan,” said Hayward. “It was a great morning. We got to watch the sun come up as we rode into town where all the people were waiting to greet us and welcome us. We walked into the hall and everybody was cheering and clapping.”

But the trail ended abruptly as lack of snow forced the snowmobiles to be loaded back onto the trailer in Lanigan, where they stayed for the next two days until the trekkers reached Kamsack. The riders then rode the sleds to Canora, where the machines were once again loaded up and taken to Kelvington, where they were once again able to

ride to the next stop, which was Preeceville.

There was sufficient snow to allow the riders to use the snowmobiles on the next few legs to Nipawin, Christopher Lake and eventually to Meadow Lake. But from Meadow Lake on, it was once again back into the van for the last few days.

Zunti said the reception at every community was overwhelming. “We often had police escorts and people came out onto the streets to see us ride in,” she said, adding that while she’s glad to return to her work and family, she’ll miss all the attention. “I don’t really get that at home,” she said with a smile. “Not that much anyway.”

Plans for next year’s ride are already underway, according to McKnight.

“We should have the route planned out by May, and we’ll have our team picked so they can begin their fundraising at that time.”

Johner, Parenteau headline Langham Telemiracle fundraiser

T

wo of Saskatchewan’s best musicians teamed up for a good cause last Saturday, bringing their talents to the stage at Langham’s community hall.

Donny Parenteau and Brad Johner headlined a fundraiser for Telemiracle 36 organized by the Langham Kin Club. Performing their own material as well as covering top country and rock tunes, the duo’s infectious energy and superb musicianship made it an evening to remember.

Noelle Hubbard, president of the Langham Kin Club and a Langham town council-

or, said when Parenteau and Johner offered to perform, the club jumped at the opportunity.

“Both Brad and Donny have travelled all across Saskatchewan doing these concerts in smaller communities that have never had a Telemiracle fundraiser before,” she explained. “It was their idea to start doing these events. So it’s really nice to have them help us out. They’re both dedicated to Telemiracle. They perform as headliners and hosts during the two-day event, and they co-wrote the Telemiracle theme song.”

Hubbard took over the leadership of the Langham Kin Club, which is now in its

second year, from Sara Watson. Watson works at the Kinsmen Telemiracle Foundation in Saskatoon, a charitable organization which, provides special needs equipment and access to medical assistance to Saskatchewan residents, groups and health foundations to improve quality of life and independence.

Telemiracle will be broadcasting live on CTV stations from 9 p.m. on Saturday, March 3, 2012 until 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 4, 2012 from Conexus Arts Centre in Regina.

Hubbard said the cabaret not only gave people a chance to donate to a worthy cause, but also provided a great excuse for a party with top-caliber entertainment.

“Who wouldn’t want to have a night out like this in

a small town?” she said, adding that working with Johner and Parenteau has been

a real treat for everyone involved. “The guys are just so fantastic to talk to,” she said.

“They’re fun and they enjoy what they’re doing and it’s obvious they really are committed to this. Year after year they do what they can to make it a success.”

with Valerie Kirk Breakfast and Body Weight...Part II (Continued)

If you studied a large number of people...one group that ate breakfast and another who did not, you would have a better chance of finding out.

Since weight is gained gradually this study would have to last years and years to properly assess an effect. And again, it is hard to get people to stick to a program.

Thus far, no one study has done any of this. That is why the 2010 Dietary Guidelines committe concluded there is inconsistent evidence that adults who miss a morning meal are upper their chances of becoming overweight or obese. It might be true that skipping breakfast leads to weight gain, but there are not enough studied to prove it.

According to Enette Larson-Meyer, PhD, RD, FACSM, nutrition professor at the University of Wyoming and author of Vegetarin Sports Nutriton (Human Kinetrics 2007). “Its hard to argue that someone at a healthy body weight with an overall healthy eating pattern of nutritious foods spaced evenly throughout the day should be forced to eat when they are not hungry first thing in the morning. “on the other hand, not eating may promote an unhealthy eating pattern or patterns. A person might get so hungry and then start to reach for chips, chocolate, etc. and end up overeating because they started the day with too little energy.”

Breakfast to Fuel and Nourish....Part III

Some people will skip breakfast and have a coffee to rev up the energy, but this doesn’tt change the physiolgical need for calories, and it may lead to more extreme hunger later....and to overeating. When breakfast has been eaten, most people are mentally and physically ready for the day....especially if they are phyically active. (Continue Feb. 16th)

Chris Sawatzky of the Hague Royals does a quick stop as he tries to evade Dalmeny Fury defenseman Sheldon Erfle.

Dalmeny edges Hague in final regular season game Fort Carlton Hockey League playoff matchups finally determined after weekend contests

his was a game that both teams desperately needed to win.

The Dalmeny Fury hung on to defeat the visiting Hague Royals 4-3 in Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) action on Tuesday, January 31.

For the Fury, the game was their last chance to salvage a victory heading into the playoffs this week.

“It was huge,” confirmed Fury coach Stew Block after the game. “We haven’t had a win since December. We’ve struggled lately, so it was good to get that monkey off our backs. Hopefully it will give us some momentum going into the first round of playoffs.”

Block said he was happy with the Fury’s defensive efforts in their own zone, and had nothing but good things to say about netminder

Tynan Smysniuk’s efforts between the pipes.

“It was a total team effort,” said Block. “But if I was to single out one player, it would be our goalie. He played awesome. There were a lot of huge saves that made the difference.”

Most of the first period was scoreless until Clayton Chappell of the Fury finally broke the deadlock. Brandon Peterson made it 2-0 for Dalmeny with 15 seconds left in the opening frame.

Dean Salzl added another goal for the Fury early in the second.

The Royals finally got on the board midway through the final frame on a goal by Dillon McFadyen. That was answered by Justin Edin for the Fury less than two minutes later.

The Royals pulled out all the stops as the game wound down, and Hague forward Chris Sawatzky capitalized on a power play opportunity with less than a minute and a half in the game. James Bergen brought the Royals to within one with only 37 seconds left, but despite pulling their goaltender, the visitors just didn’t have enough

gas left in the tank to send it into overtime.

“Our boys were tired,” conceded Hague Royals manager Roger Kinzel after the game. “Some of them are playing in provincials and this is their third game in three nights. I think that took its toll.”

Block said everyone on the Fury bench breathed a sigh of relief when the final buzzer went. “We were sweating a little bit,” he admitted. “It wasn’t bad until they scored to make it 4-3 with about a half a minute left. But we managed to keep it out of our own zone.”

Kinzel said even though the Royals generated 34 shots over three periods, they weren’t quality chances. And of those that were, very few got past Smysniuk.

“They had good goaltending, absolutely,” Kinzel said. “We got shots on net, but they were mostly from the outside.”

Hague netminder Cutis Sibley also had a busy night, facing 43 shots.

Kinzel said the league final standings will determine who the Royals face in the first round of playoffs. “It

doesn’t really matter which team we face,” he said. “The top four teams are all pretty well-matched. If we had a preference, we’d sooner play Waldheim or Rosthern, because they’re good draws, and I think we could give them a pretty good run for their money.”

Block said Dalmeny is in much the same position.

It doesn’t really matter who they play in the first round, but if they had a choice, it would be “anybody but Shellbrook.”

Dalmeny actually goes up against Bruno Friday, Feb. 10, and hosts Bruno Friday, February 17 in the first round of playoffs.

Hague lost to Tisdale last Friday night in their last regular season game, while Warman lost to Tisdale on Saturday night to wrap up the season.

The playoffs pit 1st place Prairie against 8th place Hague; 2nd place Rosthern against 7th place Warman; 3rd place Shellbrook against 6th place Tisdale; 4th place Bruno against 5th place Dalmeny. Game times are posted on the FCHL website at www.fchl.ca .

Russ Schneider celebrates the first Chiefs goal by Trevor Lieir (25) in the first period of the Delisle Chiefs 5-4 overtime victory on home ice against the Saskatoon Westleys

Chiefs set up race to the wire for first place with 5-4 OT win

By TERRY JENSON

H

old onto your seats, folks. The chase for first place and the PJHL North Division pennant just got a whole lot more interesting.

The Saskatoon Westleys put up a valiant fight but it wasn’t enough to hold back the Delisle Chiefs from posting a come-from-behind 5-4 overtime win Friday night in Delisle.

Paced by Russ Schneider’s two goals and Eric Ditto’s pair of assists, the victory moves the Chiefs one point ahead of the Saskatoon Royals for first place in the PJHL’s North Division with only a handful of games remaining on the schedule.

Brandon Crozier got things started for the Westleys with a pair of powerplay goals 18 seconds apart midway through the first period. The Chiefs briefly cut the Westleys’ lead in half on a goal by

Trevor Lieir but Scott Yaremko restored the Westleys’ two goal lead with 4:23 left in the frame. With Jordy Guillou in the penalty box for slashing, Russ Schneider scored for the Chiefs just eight seconds into the powerplay to make it a 3-2 game after one period.

The Westleys extended their lead on Yaremko’s second marker of the evening 59 seconds into the middle frame and took a 4-2 lead into the dressing room after 40 minutes.

The Chiefs regrouped and came out strong in the third period, peppering Westleys netminder Keenan Kostiuk with 23 shots. The Westleys ran into some penalty trouble as well, resulting in powerplay goals by Schneider and Andre Lalonde. Lalonde’s goal with 4:18 left to play in regulation tied the game at four, setting the stage for Dylan Kochan’s unassisted game winner.

Delisle finished the night with 47 shots on goal while the Westleys managed 29 on

Chiefs goaltender Joel Adams, including only two in the final 20 minutes. The Chiefs went 3 for 8 with the man advantage while the Westleys picked up 2 powerplay goals on their 8 chances.

The Chiefs have four games left on the schedule beginning this weekend as they kick off a home and home series with the Ice Hawks Friday night in Prince Albert. The teams square off again Saturday night in Delisle at 7:30.

The Chiefs wrap up their regular season with games February 15 at home against the Rage and on the road February 18 against the Westleys at Harold Latrace Arena. The Royals, meanwhile, finish up the 2011-12 campaign with a four-game homestand that includes two PJHL South Division opponents – the Storm and Capitals – visiting on February 10 and 11 respectively.

The Royals will also entertain the Tri-Town Thunder on February 15 and the Ice Hawks the following evening.

FIRE CHIEF RETIRES Continued from Page 7 month and are now back up to their normal complement of about 33 members. He noted that finding members who are in town during the day is always a concern for not just Martensville, but every urban centre in the area.

Interim Fire Chief Kurtis Dyck had high praise for Ramage, crediting him for helping build the department to its current high standards. “When I first joined the department about twenty years ago, Goldie was a firefighter at the time and he had the task of showing me the ropes,” said Dyck. “He did a pretty good job because we’re both still here. Goldie will be missed

and I want him to know that he is always welcome at the hall.”

Warman Fire Chief Gord Thompson related a note of congratulations from Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder before adding his own comments. “The fire service has experienced many positive changes in the past twenty years, and it’s been due to the efforts of people like Goldie that these changes have taken place,” said Thompson. “Goldie has always been a strong believer in training and education, and that has been so evident as our communities have grown and as demands of the communities have increased.

He has always strived to

make the Martensville Fire Department one of the best in Saskatchewan, and more importantly he has achieved that.”

Thompson said there is a strong bond between the Warman and Martensville Fire Departments, and he added he’s proud to have worked with Ramage in the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association.

But the Warman Fire Chief, who can’t resist cracking a joke for an audience, found it hard to stay serious for his entire speech, and went on to relate an incident that may or may not be able to verified.

“Goldie got a call shortly after he joined the fire de-

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN Beliefs are challenged left and right. Steer clear of the debate, Capricorn, unless you’re prepared to stake a claim and back it up. A deadline is extended.

VIRGOS Forget it, Virgo. You went to that well one too many times. A trusted friend stomps into territory they shouldn’t—let them know gingerly.

AQUARIUS Adventure beckons. Don’t back down, Aquarius. A change in venue poses new challenges. Creative solutions are at hand. A new do inspires a new wardrobe.

LIBRA Give a little, Libra, and that noose around your neck will loosen significantly. The drama plays out at home, and you have that special someone to thank.

PISCES Look out world! Here Pisces comes. There is nothing you can’t accomplish this week. Take advantage of every opportunity to add to your repertoire.

SCORPIO Rats, Scorpio. Your idea pans. Not to worry. You’ll have a better one next time. The race begins to complete a home improvement project.

ARIES Whoa, Aries. Don’t you have enough on your plate? Do you really think you can take on another task and complete it to satisfaction?

SAGITTARIUS The torture comes to an end, as a major project wraps up. Take everyone out to celebrate, Sagittarius. A change in guard gives you reason to be hopeful.

TAURUS Time to shift gears, Taurus. What works for you doesn’t work for another and you must look for an alternative solution. It isn’t far from hand.

CANCER Your skill set sharpens with some sorely needed training. Your finances perk up with some tweaking of the budget. Way to go, Cancer!

LEO A young friend urges you to go green. Before you dismiss the idea, Leo, consider the impact it will have on your bottom line. A few pennies saved now will make for a big surplus later.

partment,” said Thompson, referring to the days when fire calls were phoned in directly to firefighters’ homes.

“The fire phone rang and Goldie answered it and the voice on the other end said: ‘Hi Goldie, This is Jake Martens and I have a small fire in my barn. To which Goldie replied: ‘Can you tell me how we can get to your place, Mr. Martens?’ And Mr. Martens said: ‘Don’t you guys have that big red truck yet, Goldie?”

Continuing in the same lighter vein, Thompson joked that there were a few ways you could tell if your small-town fire department might be a redneck fire department: “If you were ever called to an outhouse fire,” he suggested. “And if that outhouse fire had entrapment. Or if you were called out to a fire in a rural area and you refused to go because the guy wouldn’t let you hunt on his land. Or, if your main pumper truck has had more fires than it’s attended. Or, and this one I particularly like because it’s true in Martensville’s case: if your department’s name was spelled wrong on your truck.”

Thompson said another indicator, and another one that happened to be true for Martensville back in the old days: “If the only time all the trucks left the fire hall was when they had to move them out to have bingo.”

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2012

Radisson man charged after death threat on Mountie Highway collisions, property crimes also among incidents over the past week Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Acting Commander Warman RCMP Detachment

DRIVING OFFENCES The Warman RCMP attended to an increased amount of traffic accidents this week which sent several people to hospital with various injuries.

6 accidents were reported including 2 on the weekend at the intersection of Waneskewin Road and Highway 11.

One charge was laid in the incidents while the others are still under investigation with charges pending. The two collisions at Waneskewin Rd. and Highway 11 are both the result of drivers crossing the highway failing to yield to traffic.

On January 27 a single vehicle collision involving a tractor-trailer unit was the result of a medical condition. It is believed that the driver suffered a heart attack.

During the morning of January 29th, a single vehicle accident involving a Pontiac Sunfire and a railway signal in Warman resulted in impaired driving and refusal of a breath demand charges. The 16 year old female who was identified as the driver of the vehicle cannot be named due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act. On January 31st, shortly before midnight, police attended to a single vehicle collision on highway 16 near Radisson.

One female was investigated and provided police false information about her identity.

Investigation revealed her real identity and that she was a suspended driver. Charges of obstructing a peace officer and driving while suspended are pending against a 21 year old female from Saskatoon.

Twenty-four hour suspensions were issued to seven drivers as a result of traffic stops conducted by patrol officers.

PROPERTY CRIMES During the early morning hours of January 30th , a 1999 Chrysler LHS, green in colour was stolen from 4th Avenue N. in Warman. The keys had been left in the vehicle and it was unlocked. The Warman RCMP encourage vehicle owners to secure your vehicles when not in use.

During the late evening of January 28, the Vista Manor, a senior’s condominium complex in Warman, fell victim to a mis-

chief incident. The culprit(s) set fire to papers thrown inside the lobby. There was an unreported incident of the same type one week prior. With Warman RCMP increasing patrols they are asking that people be vigilant in reporting any suspicious activity in their area.

CRIMES AGAINST PEOPLE On January 27, during the early evening, RCMP officers responded to a disturbance

call on Main Street in Radisson. An intoxicated male was removed from a residence, and after being removed by police made threats to kill the officers. A 39 year old Radisson man was arrested for uttering death threats and mischief. He was lodged into custody and later released to appear in Provincial Court in Saskatoon.

The public are reminded that the Warman RCMP are responsible for policing services in

the towns of Warman, Langham and Osler, as well as the R.M. of Corman Park on the west side of the South Saskatchewan River, but not including Martensville or the Town of Dalmeny.

Also within the detachment jurisdiction are the R.M.s of Vanscoy, Montrose, Great Bend, Mayfield and all of the towns and villages within those R.M.s. Anyone wishing to contact the Warman RCMP can do so by calling (306)975-1670.
