Firefighters and RCMP investigated a collision Sunday morning that took the life of one person
Highway 11 crash leaves one dead A two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 11 and Wanuskewin Road late Sunday morning, September 30 claimed the life of one person and sent three to hospital. Warman RCMP were called to the scene at 11:18 and found a Dodge Caravan with an Ontario licence plate and half-ton truck in the northwest ditch of the intersection. Police believe the northbound Caravan was attempting to cross Highway 11 when it was struck by the southbound truck, causing both vehicles to enter the adjacent ditch. A 34-year-old woman was ejected from the minivan and was pronounced dead at the scene while a 49-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman also in the vehicle were taken to hospital with unknown injuries. The driver and lone occupant of the truck, a 38-year-old man, was also taken to hospital for treatment. Firefighters from Warman and Saskatoon used the Jaws of Life to extricate the occupants of the minivan. A light standard was also knocked to ground in the collision. Southbound traffic headed toward

Rural Saskatchewan poorly served by internet policy
Nominate a boating hero The 2012 boating season is quickly winding down. It’s time for you to think back over the season to that special person, group or organization whose efforts in the field of boating safety and environmental stewardship deserve national recognition! Maybe they created a new boating safety related product or initiative. Perhaps they are volunteers or professionals whose efforts have contributed greatly to the safety of those on the water. Then again, maybe it’s someone who, hearing that another was in trouble on the water, summoned the courage to mount a rescue. These are the people we want you to nominate to receive a Canadian Safe Boating (CASBA) Award. You can even nominate yourself or your group or organization. The Canadian Safe Boating Awards (CASBAs) are like the People’s Choice Awards of Safe Boating. They are an annual awards ceremony and dinner which takes place every January to recognize the efforts of the general public, volunteers, professionals, agencies and organizations who have distinguished themselves in the fields of boating safety and environmental stewardship. The CASBA awards span a number of categories including: “Rescue of the Year” “Marine Professional of the Year” “Top Volunteer Dedicated to Safe Boating” “Best Boating Safety Initiative” “Safeguarding the Environment” “Marine Industry” “Visible PFD Wear in Advertising” “Best Media Contribution to Boating Safety” What makes the CASBAs so very special is that nominations come from people like YOU! No matter where you live from Victoria to St. John’s, please keep your eyes and ears open. If you know or hear of some deserving individual or organization in your area, we ask you to please submit a nomination with related details by completing the form which can be found by going to www.csbc.ca .

The problem with the notion that a certain party will always represent your concerns is, that certain party eventually winds up as your government. And when it does, there will be a time when that party’s commitment to representing your interest runs into the unpleasantness of economic choices and bureaucracy. This seems to be what’s happening to those rural Saskatchewan residents who are now unhappy with the Sask. Party government’s handling of changes to Internet delivery. For years in opposition, the Sask. Party argued that NDP governments which closed hospitals and allowed roads to deteriorate had abandoned rural Saskatchewan. And to the Sask. Party’s credit, it has addressed many serious rural issues – not the least of which is the education tax on agriculture land. But given the mantra of Sask. Party MLAs that they would never neglect rural concerns like the NDP did, the rightful expectations of rural residents was that every concern would be properly addressed. Well, when it comes to the issue of high-speed Internet provided by SaskTel to rural residents – especially rural residents in Saskatchewan’s southeast corner – it’s rather questionable whether the 30 rural government MLAs are being any more effective at addressing the issue than the previous NDP government’s city MLAs. At issue is a broadband network so obsolete that SaskTel is now struggling to find parts for it and a decision by federal Industry Canada to take away broadband with. In fairness to SaskTel, it is trying to find alternative solutions to rural customers by switching to Explornet satellite service and offering customers a “4G mobile stick” to address the problem. But it also seems obvious that SaskTel sees this as a minor issue that affects only 8,000 of its 268,000 Internet customers – an issue that it doesn’t seem to be a high priority. That is a huge source of frustration for those rural Internet customers affected – especially given their expectation that their rural government MLAs should be able to address such concerns. But as it stands right now, many customers affected by SaskTel’s change say they

don’t feel they are getting any better service than under the NDP government. “I feel that SaskTel is saying: ‘well, it’s just rural Saskatchewan. They’ll get over it’,” said one woman who did not want to identified because of business concerns in a part of the province where it’s still not fashionable to criticize the government. The woman explained that her farm and neighbouring community are outside the Explornet satellite footprint and that a stick isn’t exactly a great solution because Ipads and most smart phones don’t have USB ports. Of course, private suppliers like YourLink seem somewhat interested in filling the void, but it’s not economically profitable for them to put up towers and they don’t have access to SaskTel’s cell towers. More bothersome to the woman is the lack of understanding by SaskTel, government and the province as a whole that quality Internet service is vital to farm and rural businesses. “We don’t want Internet to check out Facebook accounts,”
the woman said, noting that decent bandwidth is critical for online business like farm auctions to Skyping clients. “We need it for our businesses.” Worse yet, the potential of limiting rural customers to eight gigabytes a month (roughly what would be needed to download two or three HD movies) is severely limiting to rural business. But even those who might
not need that much Internet capacity for business reason have a fairly good argument that they should have access to the same amenities as their city cousins. Or at least, they were led to believe that such matters would be less of an issue under a Saskatchewan Party government. SaskTel’s handling of rural Internet seems to be telling them something else.

Churko said wet weather early in the construction season severely hampered progress on the project. “We were actually hoping to get a lot further than we have this season,” said Churko. “The progress was not anywhere near what it could have been. We had hoped we would have had it done and one layer of asphalt on the road this year, with the final work and the final paving done in 2013.” Churko said the project required moving an estimated 600,000 cubic meters of earth material. Several major utility lines also had to be moved to accommodate the rebuilding of the road, including SaskTel, SaskPower, SaskEnergy and TransGas as well as a local rural water utility line. The main contractor is Kelly Panteluk Construction, an Estevan-based company, with Genivar Inc acting as construction manager. The road surfacing is being done by HDR Asphalt Services of Saskatoon. Churko said the completion of the South Bridge in Saskatoon will likely increase

Construction on the Dalmeny Access road: traffic at the Highway 16 intersection is down to one lane in both directions. Construction supervisor Gerald Law says the focus is shifting to the new curve being built near the point where the Dalmeny Road intersects with Highway 305. the amount of traffic using the Dalmeny grid road south of Highway 16. “This intersection upgrade will tie in with that, and make it safer for traffic accessing Highway 16,” he noted.

New road will spur growth in Dalmeny, says Mayor By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
I
mprovements to the Dalmeny Access Road have been a long time coming, but it will be worth the wait, says Allan Earle, Mayor of the Town of Dalmeny. “The new highway will be considerably wider and safer than the old one,” said Earle. “I feel quite confident we’ll see substantial new residential and commercial growth once this road is in place.” Earle said there are significant residential developments in the works in Dalmeny. “Two weeks ago, we had 3 developers - North Ridge, River Ridge and Ehrenberg Homes - at our town council meeting,” he said. “They’re in the process now of begining a new subidivision east of the elmentary school that’s approximately 38 acres in size and
will accommodate about 225 homes.” In addition, North Ridge is also proposing a separate subdivision with 40 to 50 homes, and another developer is looking at opening up a further 44 lots on another property. “That’s a significant increase in residential development,” Earle said. “And it’s coming about because of improvements to the road.” Earle said he’s been lobbying the provincial government to upgrade the highway since 1993. “We were the busiest thinmembrane highway in the province,” he explained. “We had over 1800 trips daily, and we were very fortunate that up until two years ago, we did not have a fatality on this road.” Earle said the new highway will attract new residents and businesses to Dalmeny. “The lack of a good road was
really stalling our growth,” he said. “We get a lot of people from Saskatoon coming out to our new hockey arena, and many of them said they would move out here but they just couldn’t handle driving that terrible road every day.” Once the new road is complete, Earle said he is hopeful that drivers will still be safetyconscious. “I hope people don’t go berserk and start driving at 150 kilometers an hour, because it’s going to be a fantastic road compared to what we had,” he said. “One of the problems with the current road is that there isn’t room for police cars to make a U-turn and follow speeders.” Earle is also hoping that semi trucks will not use the new road to bypass the weigh scales on Highway 16. “If trucks continue to use this road, as they have in the past, then we’ll be talking to the

ancy Heppner was all smiles as she watched the heavy construction equipment working at the site of the realigned intersection of Highway 16 and the Dalmeny Access Road. “When I was first elected 5 years ago, this was one of the priority issues for me, and for this community,” said Heppner in an interview September 28. “This new road is badly needed here.” Heppner, the provincial Minister of Central Servic-
es and MLA for the riding of Martensville, said Dalmeny and other communities in the area are among the fastestgrowing in the province, and the steady increase in traffic over the years, combined with the deteriorating condition of the road, convinced the provincial government to make it a priority. “We’re investing $2.2 billion into provincial highways and infrastructure over four years,” she said. “This year, we’re doing about 1200 kilometers of roadways under a nearrecord budget of $581.5 million.”
Heppner said she’s happy the new road is becoming a reality. “The people who live in the area and travel frequently to Saskatoon have likely noticed an increase in traffic on this road over the past few years,” she said. “This new and improved access road demonstrates how communities like Dalmeny are benefiting from a growing province with a strong economy.” She added the upgrade to the Dalmeny Access Road is part of an overall plan to improve highways

ADVICE FOR REAL LIFE
Bringing in the Sheaves Old-time threshing event draws a crowd By HILARY KLASSEN
hilaryklassen@gmail.com
A
unique harvest scene greeted visitors near Dalmeny on Saturday, September 22. In the field across from the Quiring farmstead were sheaves waiting to be harvested. The binder had already been out to cut and bind the grain stalks. Manual labor followed as able bodies in overalls used pitchforks to toss the sheaves onto a horse drawn wagon. When the wagons were full the horses hauled them over to the threshing machine on the Quiring’s yard. “Man with pitchfork” took over from horse again briefly as the sheaves or stookes were tossed onto the threshing machine. Then the grain got separated from the straw, which blows out of a long chute. You’d want to be standing upwind of that apparatus. It was part of the Quiring’s annual threshing demonstration, revealing there’s more than one way to bring in a crop. If you were around as late as the early 50’s you would have seen crops being threshed instead of combined. But if not you could have joined others on the scene to witness the well-oiled machinery, literally, of this unique demonstration. There’s so many belts and moving parts on a threshing machine it’s a wonder the horses standing right next to it could stay still. But they did. They were well behaved, looked buff and handsome, and waited patiently in the field while being unloaded. For Murl and Ethel Quiring, it’s a fondly remembered way of being. It’s a cherished custom that is nearly forgotten. It’s not just about machinery, it’s about a former way of life. It’s why Ethel and her friends grab a lawn chair and plant themselves in the middle of a dusty field. It’s because they remember another time and increasingly, they feel that time is lost to them. When they bring out the threshing machine, they can bring it back for a few moments. Murl loves it because “it’s preserving heritage. That’s what built this country, the prairies; it’s the people that came here and homesteaded. It’s important not to forget that. That’s where our food comes from. It doesn’t come from a store.” Among those standing by to watch is Dailene Sivertson who just moved to Saskatchewan from Victoria. Her grandparents live out here and she’s come to do some curling in Regina over the winter. She’s never seen threshing or harvesting with a combine for that matter. “I think it’s great. I think it’s so cool that they can preserve this kind of machinery and come out and still do it how they did then and not forget where we came from. It’s great to see this.” Last year they had three machines going which Murl says was pretty busy. He owns all of these machines and will be bringing one out to the Harvest for Kids event on October 6th. “I’ll bring one machine, maybe it’s this one or maybe a wooden one.” The Quiring’s passion for this threshing harvest demonstration is contagious. Ethel says, “We never have to ask for volunteers.” They just come. “It’s a lot of fun,” Murl adds. “People enjoy it, they come out and are happy to be here. That’s what’s the best part.”

Major exhibition of touring artists coming to Saskatchewan Some of the finest creative talents in western Canada are coming together in Saskatoon this fall for Artists on Tour, a contemporary fine art exhibition that features hundreds of works of art and more than 30 professional artists attending the event. As 2012’s premiere visual arts event, Artists on Tour will feature local and internationally established painters, bronze artists, stone carvers and high-end artisans, who will share their work for three full days in a unique public exhibition space. The event is slated for October 12-14 at TCU Place. Show hours are Friday from 1 - 9 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and admission is free. The public will have a chance to meet and mingle with internationally-recognized artists such as Valerie Hinz, Mike Svob, Angela Morgan, Denyse Klette and Peter Shostak - just a few examples of the high calibre of artists participating.
(See all at www.artistsontour.ca) Artists on Tour is travelling across cities with a goal to take the public art experience to the next level. It is the first tour and event of its kind in Western Canada, with large numbers of professional, wellknown fine artists joining forces to exhibit together outside of galleries in a large public spaces. Painters Jonn Einerssen and Brent Heighton, and sculptor Vance Theoret, are the organizers and also established professional artists. They have held smaller group exhibitions for more than 20 years
in public spaces in Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Vancouver, New York and Mexico with great success. Their unique philosophy of taking fine art to the public, instead of waiting for the public to come to the art, has spawned hundreds of new fans over the years and inspired people of all ages to gain an appreciation for all kinds of fine art forms. They are now expanding to include dozens more professional artists in a major western Canadian tour. For people who are new to art, as well as art enthusiasts and collectors, Artists on Tour is a unique and rare opportunity to access the finest art talents and treasures from Saskatchewan as well Alberta and British Columbia. Saskatoon is the first stop for Artists on Tour, which will continue on to major western Canadian cities in 2013. Saskatoon was the top choice as host city for the fall tour, chosen for its vibrant energy and growing cultural influence.

Warman’s fast growth a result of partnerships: Mayor City Celebration event on October 27 will highlight evolution and growth of community By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca
P
artnerships are the key to Warman’s growth and propserity, according to Sheryl Spence, who was recently re-elected to her third term as Mayor of Warman. Speaking at the annual Business Networking Breakfast hosted by Great Plains College on Thursday, September 27 in Warman, Spence said cooperation between the town, the schools, the college and businesses have helped the community achieve big things in a short time. “As Warman prepares to make the jump to city status in a few weeks, it’s interesting to look back on how far we’ve come in a very short time,” she said. “In 1973, just about 40 years ago, Warman had a population of only 800
people. Now we’re edging toward the 8,000 mark. That in itself is an astounding fact.” Spence said the taxable assessment of property in Warman in 1973 was $487,000. “Today, our taxable assessment is over $411 million,” she said. “Our tax levy in 1973 from property tax was $44,000. Now it’s over $5 million. That’s a big change for this community. You can see the tremendous growth that’s happened because of people working together for a common goal.” Spence said while there were, and still are, challenges created by the need for more infrastructure, the benefits of growth are evident. “Back in 1973, the amount of money set aside by the town council for recreation was under $100 a year,” she said. “Think what that’s evolved to today. I can’t believe how much we’re investing as a community in recreation facilities - in our parks and sports complex. But that’s what makes a good quality of life, and that’s what
is attracting people to move here.” Spence said the municpality is also encouraging businesses in a variety of ways, and said the business networking event organized by the regional college is important.
CELEBRATION OCT 27 She said the City Celebration event planned for Saturday, October 27 at the Legends Centre in Warman is aimed at showcasing the community’s history and promoting its future. She urged the businesses to put up posters advertising the event, and to encourage everyone to attend. Spence said the municipality is working on plans to improve the Central Street business corridor by adding decorative lighting standards. The new light posts will be put up initially between 5th Avenue and 7th Avenue, and more will be added in the years to come. There will also eventually be another business corri-
dor along Centennial Boulevard, with the big box retail complex at the intersection of the new Highway 305 serving
as the north end anchor. “I wish I could tell you more about that project, but we’ll have to wait a few more
months on that,” she said, noting the development is dependent on work being intiated on the highway.

Martensville Fire Department hosting Open House on Oct 10 Submitted by Lt. LARRY SIGFUSSON Martensville Fire Department
The Martensville Fire Department is hosting an Open House and Barbecue on Wednesday, October 10 to raise awareness about Fire Prevention Week, which runs October 7 to 13th. The Open House and barbecue will take place at the Martensville Fire Hall on Centennial Drive South, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The theme for Fire Prevention Week this year is “Have Two Ways Out ©”. This is an important theme for everyone to remember as on average each week fires kill 8 Canadians. Residential property fires account for 40% of all fires, but 73% of all fire deaths. Two Ways Out©, refers to
the importance of having two exits from every room where people gather or sleep. If the door is blocked by fire or thick smoke it is critical to have a second way out of a room such as a bedroom. If the room is on an upper floor and too high above the ground, consider an escape ladder that can hook into the window frame.
PREVENTION IS KEY Fire Chief Kurt Dyck says, “This year’s theme underscores the importance of making Canadians aware of the simple preventative measures they can take to prevent disaster from occurring to them. Statistics reveal that most fires are caused by careless behavior. An ounce of prevention in this case will save lives, homes and everything that we hold dear. It is the responsibility of every
Canadian to educate themselves on the simple fire prevention measures they can take.” Smoking is the number one preventable cause of home fire deaths in Canada. Fires caused by cigarettes cause one out of every five deaths.
STARTLING STATISTICS To bring the numbers closer to home here are the statistics from Saskatchewan for a 10 year average from 2000-2009 • Every year a total of 3100 fires, 600 of which are residential • Dollar loss is approximately $47 million annually. • A fire death occurs every 22 days in Saskatchewan • 4 out of the 16 annual fire deaths are children and youth. • Cooking, heating and electrical fires account for half of all home fires.
HOME FIRE SAFETY TIPS Place smoke alarms (detectors) on all levels of your home, especially in sleeping areas, test the batteries at least monthly, and change the batteries each spring and fall. Kitchen: Keep a pot cover nearby to “put a lid on it” in the event of a fire Bedrooms/Halls: Install at least 1 smoke alarm outside each sleeping area. For improved safety, install a smoke alarm in every bedroom. Living Room: Do not overload electrical outlets or use extension cords in the place of additional outlets. Develop and practice a home fire escape plan. 24/7 PROTECTION The Martensville Fire Department protects the citizens of our City and surrounding area on a 24/7 basis out of our
Fire Hall on Centennial Drive. Each year we respond or attend to over 300 incidents and events. We currently have 31 members on our department.

Swing shortage alleviated at Warman Elementary By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The classrooms are still bursting at the seams, but at least the shortage of swings at Warman Elementary School (WES) is being alleviated. A new playground structure featuring swings and climbing apparatus was installed at the school last Thursday. It was a long time coming, said WES Principal Scott Dyck. “It’s been in the works for a while,” Dyck confirmed. “We dug the hole back in the spring, and then every time we set a date to put up the structure, it
would rain and the hole filled up with water. We had to pump it numerous times and wait for it to dry up.” A couple of attempts during the summer also had to be cancelled due to rain. But the dry fall weather has proved a boon. “We finally got a time when everyone was available,” Dyck said. “We had volunteers from Affinity Credit Union and Warman Co-op come and help.” Dyck said the Crystalbrook Community Group made a “substantial” donation of $8,000 in the spring to help the school meet its fundraising goal and allowed it to purchase the play-
ground equipment. “We’ve been raising funds for the last couple years through our Family Fun Night,” said Dyck. “We raised about $15,000, and then with the funds from the Crystalborook group, that put us over the top. The equipment cost about $22,000 altogether.” Dyck said with the school jam packed with kids, there’s always a scramble for the swings at recess time. “We really needed the swings,” he said. “They’re always the most popular things that the kids go for. There’s a big run on them when the bell rings.”

You never said I’m leaving You never said Goodbye, You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. A million times I needed you A million times I cried, If love alone could have saved you You never would have died. In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still, In my heart I hold a place That only you can fill. It broke my heart to lose you But you didn’t go alone, As part of me went with you The day God took you home.
Love Mom and Dad
Ignited by a simple thought, that starts a stream of fireworks although it’s anything but beautiful . . . my insides get covered in craters, from when the fireworks connect with my flesh and my bone. The initial ignition causes a chain reaction which heats up my insides, making it the center of hell. Relentlessly beating me, aiming for my heart and never missing. I want to scream, or fight, or do SOMETHING . . . yet I lay here calmly, as though the ignition hadn’t started possibly the only clue is the stream of tears running down my face leftover steam from the burning holes inside. And this will never stop because you will never come back and I will never stop missing you . . . Love Always, Ashley

Kicking it into overdrive
Martensville Royals hope to lock up playoff spot as season nears end By TERRY PUGH
T
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
he Martensville Royals’ offense kicked into high gear last Friday, scoring early and often against the visiting Kindersley Kobras enroute to a 24-6 victory at Geransky Field. “We knew it was a mustwin game for us, because we really wanted to get back on track and win the next three games,” said Royals head coach Lyle Evanisky. “We want to decide our own fate, and sew up a playoff spot and hopefully even host a playoff game. That’s our goal, and I think it’s realistic.” The Royals came out hard from the opening kickoff, pinning the Kobras deep in their own end and coming away with two points after the visitors surrendered a safety. The Martensville defense continued to win the battle of field position, forcing the Kobras to concede two more safety touches in their own end zone during the opening quarter. Midway through the second quarter, Martensville’s offense finally found a way to punch the ball into the Kobras’ end zone, as Spen-
cer Fitch hauled in a perfect pass from quarterback Morgan Avery and rambled in for the Royals’ first major of the game. Fitch added another touchdown on a 15-yard pass and run play a couple of minutes later.. A big stop by the Martensville defense, led by Morgan Upton, killed a determined Kobras drive in the dying minutes of the second quarter and gave the Royals a comfortable cushion heading into half-time. Martensville dominated the third quarter, as Peter Kuxhaus’ touchdown added to the lead. Kindersley’s main threat, Jaret Thornton, finally got the visitors on the board with a late touchdown in the fourth quarter as the Royals gave their backup players some reps, but Spencer Fitch’s interception on the final play of the game sealed the victory for the home team. Evanisky said it was rewarding to see Fitch have a breakout game. “He’s one of our key players,” said the coach. “He’s a grade 12 guy who works hard every practice and every game. It was great to

see him finally get a couple touchdowns. He played a good game last week against Warman, but we just couldn’t seem to get him into the end zone. This time he scored twice, and he also played really well on defense.” Evanisky said his team came prepared to play. “When you get this far into the season, every game is a must-win,” he said. “We’re at a point where the guys really understand their roles and what they have to do as a team. They’re really focused, they know their assignments, and they’re working hard in practice. That pays off during a game like this.” The Royals face John Paul II in North Battleford on Friday, October 5, and finish out the regular season on Friday, October 12 in Warman. The first round of playoffs start on Saturday, October 20. After restoring their record to 2-2, the Royals at least have a good chance of making the playoffs. “We’ll take it one game at a time,” said Evanisky. “The next two games will be really big for us.”
Martensville Royals’ receiver Spencer Fitch tries to hurdle defender Luke Sproule of the Kindersley Kobras during a high school football game last Friday at Geransky FIeld in Martensville. Fitch had two touchdowns in the game to lead the Royals to a 24-6 victory over the visitors.
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
“We’re really rollin’, now we’re on our way!” As the theme song for the Saskatchewan Roughriders goes, the Green and White definitely appear to be rolling after back-to-back home wins over CFL West Division opponents the past two games. In Week 13 the Riders nudged the Calgary Stampeders 3025 while this past Saturday night in Week 14, Saskatchewan dumped the league’s best team, the BC Lions, 27-21 in front of another sellout crowd. With five games to go and first- and second-place within striking distance, the up and down Riders appear ready to make their move and the fans are right there with them on the edge of their seats. It was a very special night at Mosaic Stadium this past game. It was the only regular season night game of the year and the lights at the stadium were already on at the game’s 8:10 pm kickoff time. It seems ever since the new stadium plans were announced, fans are eager to soak up every last

ounce of Rider Pride there is to savour at home games and at this one there was a lot. Before the game there was a lot of noise about the ‘Occupy The Stadium’ movement which was supposed to feature 30 or so protesters outside Mosaic Stadium before the game. Initially the group was anti-stadium but then they backed off on their stance. I’m not certain they even knew WHAT they were protesting and the only report of protesters I received was two guys sitting at a cardtable on the practice field with a cheesy sign. Fail.
No, the spirit of the Rider Nation was not going to be dampened Saturday night. Their team led throughout the entire contest and survived a late scare to post the victory and improve to 7-6. Slotback Weston Dressler was the hero of the night scoring two touchdowns just days after attending his grandfather’s funeral in the USA. Dressler is going to go down as one of the alltime great Roughriders. Something remarkable has gone on with this football team this year and it’s been fascinating to watch. After a 3-0 start they then went 0-5 before rebounding to win four of their
past five games. But it’s the intensity they’ve put forth in the past two games which has made us sit up and take notice. They’re not winning games with finesse nor are they trying to. They are physically dominating their opponents, both of whom were ahead of Saskatchewan in the standings. “I told them to play every game like it’s their last,” Rider coach Corey Chamblin stated when asked what the difference has been lately. It certainly seems to be working. Rider GM Brendan Taman said this week “there’s something special” about this team but right now it’s tough to a finger on just what it is. So I asked quarterback Darian Durant after Saturday’s game what’s unique about this 2012 Roughrider team. “Our heart,” Durant answered without hesitation. And that could make things very dangerous for the rest of the CFL the rest of the way.

Delisle Chiefs gain momentum heading into PJHL regular season By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A
fter getting dumped 4-1 by the Prince Albert Ice Hawks last Thursday, the Delisle Chiefs returned the favour on Friday, September 28, beating the Ice Hawks 11-4 in Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) pre-season action in Aberdeen. The win was a big psychological boost for the team heading into the regular season, said Chiefs head coach Dave Norris. “We’re back on the winning track,” said Norris after the game. “I thought we had a really good team effort tonight. All four lines were rolling. Each line had at least two goals, so that shows how much depth we’ve got when it comes to scoring. It’s looking good.” The Chiefs relied heavily on their returning veterans to provide the spark. Dylan Kochan recorded a three-point game with two goals and an assist, while Tanner Sobkowich had a hat trick. Chris Musselman, Justin Kerr and Stacy Campbell contributed
singles. Rookies Dustin Bezugly, Ashton Donnelly, and Josh Murray also scored for the Chiefs. Rookie goaltenders Cole Garratt and Gage Killiam were both solid between the pipes as they split the duties during the game. Sobkowich said it felt good to get the win, and he’s confident the team can pick up where it left off last year. “It was a tough losing the league final last season,” Sobkowich said. “But hopefully we can build on that. We’ve got a good group of guys this year.” The veteran forward was happy to get his first hat trick, and said he tries to lead by example on the ice. “I just work hard and when things go well it rubs off on everybody else,” he said. The big difference in Friday’s win was discipline, added Norris. “On Thursday in Prince Albert, we got into some serious penalty trouble, and it’s very hard to climb out of a two or three goal deficit late in the game in this league,” he said.
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
Delisle Chiefs defenseman Devin Sparrow (right) ties up a Prince Albert Ice Hawks forward in front of Chiefs netminder Cole Garratt during first period action in Aberdeen last Friday. The Chiefs won the game 11-4, bringing their pre-season record to 2-1. The Chiefs home opener is Saturday, October 13. in Delisle.
“Tonight, the other team had a 7-minute penalty in the second period, and I think that really took the wind out of them” Norris said the pre-season games are useful in helping the team gel. “It’s not so much seeing what the new guys can do,” he said. “I know what they’re capable of, and we’ve actually got our roster pretty well set now. We have 23 guys in the lineup. Most of the veterans are already on the ice, and we’re expecting Andre Lalonde to return after the Saskatoon Hilltops football season is finished, so we’re very strong on the blue line.” Norris said the Chiefs are hoping to build on last year’s amazing run, where they went from fifth place to third place to first place during the regular season, and ended up winning the PJHL north division title. A disappointing loss to Regina in the league final was all that prevented them from making an appearance in the Keystone Cup. “It was a let-down to lose the league title,” conceded Norris. “But we know now what it takes to get over that hump, and there are a lot of returning guys who really want to go all the way this year. I think we’ve got the leaders in our lineup that will be able to do it. The Chiefs open the regular season on the road against the Saskatoon Royals on Thursday, October 11 at Harold Latrace Arena in Saskatoon. Game time is 7:45. Their home opener at Delisle Arena is Saturday, October 13 at 7:30 pm, when they host the Saskatoon Westleys. The Ochapawe Thunder is in town on Sunday, October 14 at 2:00 pm in Delisle. The complete schedule is online at www.pjhl.ca .
WOLVERINES ON A ROLL
Spencer Ulrich of the Warman Wolverines shakes off a tackle by a defender with the Meadow Lake Spartans during a game in Meadow Lake on Friday, September 28. Warman narrowly defeated Meadow Lake 23-22 in a tight contest that wasn’t decided until the very last play. As a result of the dramatic win, Warman improved its record to 3 wins and 1 loss, giving them sole possession of second place in the league standings. Warman Head Coach Tyler Scheidt noted both teams played hard: “We moved the ball well throughout the game and an unbelievable interception in the dying seconds of the game basically won the game for us.” (Photo courtesy of Terry Villeneuve, Meadow Lake Northern Pride)

One answer leads to more questions with Blades He’s a 20-year-old, he’s a newcomer to the team this season…now Brenden Walker is the 54th captain in Saskatoon Blades’ franchise history! General manager and head coach Lorne Molleken announced the choice on Friday, handing the visible leadership reins to the former Brandon Wheat Kings’ forward. “The decision was made by the coaches,” explained Molleken. “We’ve watched how things have developed since training camp and Brenden is a player that has all kinds of experience in this league and, certainly, he’s coming from a really good program in Brandon that had a lot of high-profile players over the last little while. “Just to see how he involved himself with team activities, how he was with other players and he’s gained the respect of everybody in our dressing room. In the end, we just thought this would be a really good decision.” On Saturday, the Ste. Anne, Manitoba product named his alternate captains..choosing centres Lukas Sutter and Brent Benson to be alternates for road games while going with right winger Josh Nicholls and defenceman Darren Dietz to wear the “A” at home. Conspicuously absent from
“the lettermen” is the 53rd Blades’ captain from last season, 19-year-old defenceman Duncan Siemens. He says he is fine with the decisions and that he intends on being the best player and teammate that he can be. Not many Blades’ fans and outside observers believe that, but time will tell! ***** THE ROSTER – The Bridge City Bunch designated 17-year-old centre Drake Bodie for re-assignment last Tuesday. That leaves the Blades with 23 players… two goaltenders, seven defencemen and 14 forwards. Rookie left winger Ryan Graham continues to be nagged by a lower back injury. The 16-year-old Calgary product is practicing, but not involved in contact drills. ***** BLADES PLAYER-OF-THEWEEK – If they can keep him healthy, Josh Nicholls could have a “monster” season for the Blades. The 20-year-old scored twice and added an assists in the 9-6 loss last Wednesday in Brandon before assisting on the tying goal and scoring the overtime winner in Saskaoton’s 2-1 triumph Saturday at Swift Current. The three goals and five points are the season total for the fifth year right winger, good for the team lead in both categories.

She is an alumnus of Bethany and understands what it takes to motivate our team to meet their potential and have a good time playing. Returning as our men’s coach is Tim Falk. Tim has been able to lead the men in their development toward working as a unit. This has been a passion of his, as this is how he likes to play. He is excited about leading the men with the challenge of moving up a division in the Saskatoon League. VOLLEYBALL Dani Klassen is joined this year by Sarah Foster to coach our women’s team, while Rob Braun is joined by Luke Heidebrecht to lead the men’s team. Both teams will be competing in PAC again this year. We are excited about what each of these coaches brings in regard

BASKETBALL Tasha Fehr, a former Briercrest Clipper, returns as our head coach. She has a passion for basketball that is visible whenever she nears a court. Her skill development will help lead the team’s success this season. Joining her as an assistant is Jelisa Riediger, who played during her time at Bethany. Jelisa and Tasha bring a love for both the game and the players they will be leading. Brendon Johnston continues to coach the men’s team. After coaching last year, he brings a new focus to the team. His desire is for the men to succeed both on the court and in their lives. Thank you to all coaches for devoting their time, energy, passion, and skills for the benefit of Bethany’s athletes!

CAPRICORN Not all claims are warranted, Capricorn. Be wary of what you believe. A financial error turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Learn from your mistake. AQUARIUS Fear conflict, Aquarius? You’re not alone, but out of conflict can come change for the better. Such is the case this week at work. Speak up and be heard. PISCES Your suspicions are confirmed, and what you were hoping for will not come to pass. Never mind, Pisces. All is as it should be, and you know it. ARIES Gratitude may not be expected, but it should certainly be shown, Aries. Make sure those around you know how much you appreciate their support, and they will reciprocate. TAURUS Illness strikes, but recovery is quick. A long-winded tale provides a clue to what’s plaguing a friend. Take heed, Taurus. A money matter is resolved. GEMINI A special event calls for some clever planning. Two heads are better than one, Gemini. Travel plans get underway, and you strike a great deal. CANCER Covering for another rarely works out. Consider all the options before taking that route, Cancer. A furry friend requires more discipline than favor. LEO Throwing fits is not your style, but if the situation warrants it, don’t hesitate to do so, Leo. Only then will the changes you seek come about. VIRGO Costs escalate through no fault of your own, Virgo, and you must find a way to cut back. It will be far easier than you think with a new addition. LIBRA You could take a chance, Libra, but why bother when the sure thing is at hand. A meeting among friends provides a respite from the ordinary. SCORPIO Life is full of ups and downs, this week in particular, Scorpio. You’ll experience highs and lows like never before but all will come to a magnificent end. SAGITTARIUS Fall flowers remind you of an important event. Start the planning now, Sagittarius. A risky financial endeavor comes off without a hitch and you hit the jackpot.

Kids on combines: Dalmeny boys take part in history-making event By TERRY PUGH
S
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
ix-year old Thomas Woodhouse of Dalmeny is counting the days until October 6. He and his 5-year old brother Robert have frontrow seats for the attempt to set a world record with the most combines working together in a single field. Literally - front row seats. Thomas will be a passenger in a John Deere combine, while his brother will be riding in a Case. The two brothers are crazy about combines and farm machinery, and riding in a combine during a history-making event is a dream come true for both boys, but Thomas in particular. “Thomas was born and raised here,” said his mother Debbie. “He’s a farm boy. His first word was tractor. His brother Robert is more of a cowboy whose passion is horses.” Debbie and her husband Mark Woodhouse moved to Saskatchewan from England 7 years ago. They settled on an acreage near Dalmeny where they started an auto repair busi-
you find me a combine, Mommy?’,” said Debbie. “I said yes, and so the pressure was on, because Mommy always keeps her promises. And of course, Robert wanted to be part of it as well.” She said over the past year, they’ve helped sign up many people for the combine event by letting people know it was happening, but it wasn’t until Wendell Andres, the main organizer of the event, came to get his car fixed at their shop that they were able to secure combine seats for the two boys. “A couple of weeks ago, we got word from Wendell that he got Thomas into a John Deere combine supplied by a dealer, while Robert is riding in a Case, also supplied by another dealer,” said Debbie. “Robert figures cowboys have Case machines, while farmers drive John Deeres.” Debbie said the move to Saskatchewan was the best decision the couple made. “We love it here,” she said. “There’s so much space, and we’ve always wanted to have a farm. It’s the perfect place to raise kids.”

Jack Klassen combines a field at his farm near Victoire, Saskatchewan. The combine was purchased new by his father in 1957, and has seen duty in every harvest since. The vintage combine will be one of over 210 combines that will attempt to set a new world record for the most combines working simultaneously in the same field on Saturday, October 6.

Vintage Cockshutt set to take its place in line By TERRY PUGH
A
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
mong the more than 210 combines working to set a new world record in a field north of Dalmeny on Saturday, October 6, there will be one that really stands out. Not because it’s the biggest, newest or fanciest, but because it’s the oldest and most reliable. A Cockshutt 428 Deluxe combine owned by Jack Klassen of Victoire, Saskatchewan, has seen duty every harvest season since it was bought new by his father in 1957. “It’s an old-timer, but it’s dependable,” said Klassen. “It’s definitely a vintage machine. Cockshutt manufactured this model from 1956 to 1962. My dad bought it and we used it on our farm near Aberdeen for years. Bringing it back to this area is kind of like a homecoming for this old girl.” Klassen said other than replacing the water pump and a few bearings, all the parts
on the Cockshutt combine are original. He hasn’t even painted it. But he says storing it indoors every winter has helped prolong its working life. “The 428 was a little bigger and more powerful model than the 427, which was the more popular version. The 428 is powered by a Chrysler Industrial Inline six cylinder engine. It’s also got a bigger threshing area to work with, so all in all, it’s actually a pretty well-designed combine.” Klassen started farming with his father in the River Park area a short distance northwest of Aberdeen. When he was 13 years old in 1963, he bought his first quarter section. In 1994, he and his wife, Gwen, moved to Victoire, where they farm organically, selling into niche markets, particularly in Europe. “I’m 60 years old now, and I still love farming,” he said. “I’m not sure how much longer I can keep going, but my wife said I can farm until I
turn 80 or the combine wears out, whichever comes first.” Klassen heard about the Harvest for Kids world record attempt on the radio, and contacted Wendell Andres to sign up for the event. “I asked if they had room for a slow-moving combine with a narrow swath,” he said. “They said absolutely.” The Harvest for Kids event will attempt to have over 210 combines in a single field working simultaneously. Funds raised during the event will be used to fund Children’s Camps International, a registered charity that provides children in underdeveoped nations with a camp experience. To register your combine for the event, contact Wendell Andres at 222-3002 or via email at wendell@ccicamps. com . The event takes place 25 kilometers north of Saskatoon on Highway 12, and 6 kilometers west of the Barn Playhouse. The activities begin at 10:00 a.m. with the combine harvest scheduled for 2:00 p.m.

Residents give input into future uses for public reserve land By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A
public meeting aimed at gathering suggestions for future uses for a 60-acre parcel of land in South Corman Park was well-attended and constructive, according to Norm Osback, a board member with the South Corman Park Community Association (SCPCA). The meeting, held September 25, was the first of two public consultation meet-
ings scheduled on the issue. The second meeting will take place on Wednesday, October 10. (The Gazette incorrectly identified the date as October 3 in the last issue.) “The suggestions ranged from a dog park to a highspeed cable race track for dogs to a remote-control model airplane ground,” explained Osback. “There is a lot of room for these uses to co-exist, and that’s why we’re looking at many different options, because a lot of people want to be able to access this
public reserve land.” The public consultations were originally scheduled by the SCPCA several months ago, but over the summer, the group’s lease on the land was changed on short notice by the RM of Corman Park council. A proposal by a horse-owners association for an equine riding park that would encompass 50 acres, with the SCPCA accorded 10 acres, was endorsed by the council. At the Corman Park council meeting early in the
evening of September 25, Osback, along with Lois Ridgway and Garth Lardner of the SCPCA executive, made a presentation on the SCPCA’s background, accomplishments and vision for the future. While a number of councilors felt it would make sense to await the results of the SCPCA’s public consultation meetings, others, including the Reeve, were reluctant to do so. Mel Henry accused the SCPCA of being intransi-
12101MC01
gent by not showing up to a meeting chaired by himself in August, and sending a “a couple of snooty letters” from a lawyer. “You brought this on yourself,” said Henry. “You took too much time. You didn’t show any interest in cooperating with council or the horse group and you’re paying the price for it. It’s like you are the big people and the rest of us are nothing. So come back with something good or go away. You have to have something good and you have to show some
serious spirit of cooperation. That’s my attitude.” Osback responded that the SCPCA was simply following due process by holding consulations, as instructed by the RM council, and noted there was no timeline issued by the council. “We are simply asking council to slow this freight train down and allow us to do what you told us to do,” he said. “We will hold public forums and come back with a presentation on possible options for this land.”

DELISLE CARE HOME SOD TURNING
A sod-turning ceremony to mark the start of construction of a new full-service, 10-person private care home in Delisle took place September 6. Known as Donna’s Cozy Care Home, the project was initiated by Donna Dreher a year ago, after Donna’s mother was unable to live indepndently. Dreher realized there were no personal care homes in or near Delisle so she took her plans to Delisle Town Council, which supported her project. A mortgage was obtained from Delisle Credit Union, and financial support was also provided by the Clarence Campeau Development Fund. Construction of the home is being undertaken by Howe Homes. Taking part in the sod-turning are (left to right) Ed Howe from Howe Homes, Cheri Boeschen from the Delisle Credit Union, Rita Pfoh: Mayor of Delisle and Donna Dreher, owner of Donna’s Cozy Care Home.
