Opimihaw Creek project

Province fails to come up with funding

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The provincial government’s decision to not allocate any funding for a flood control project in north Corman Park is “very disappointing,” says the Chair of the Opimihaw Creek Watershed Association (OCWA).

Ben Buhler said the OCWA was counting on the provincial government earmarking a significant sum in the upcoming provincial budget for the proposed “Osler Ditch” – a $13.9 million drainage project that could potentially alleviate a major part of the flood problem in the area west of Osler and between Warman and Martensvile. The Osler Ditch is one of several inter-related drainage projects for the area that collectively could cost almost $59 million.

But the OCWA received word last week that there would be no money for the project in the 2014-15 provincial budget, which is set to be released on March 19.

That means that no construction work on the project will be able to take place this year, said

Buhler.

The OCWA will, however, continue with a previously-announced engineering study to determine the parameters of the drainage infrastructure needed for the proposed Osler Ditch. The OCWA – made up of the municipalities of Corman Park, Warman, Osler, Martensville and Dalmeny – has committed to paying 25 per cent of the cost of the engineering study, or about $10,000. The province is contributing the remaining 75 per cent of the cost of the $40,000 study.

Once the study is complete, the project will be “shovelready,” said Buhler, adding that if provincial or federal funding becomes available, the OCWA will apply right away.

But without provincial funding in this year’s budget, the project can’t proceed this spring, he noted.

Buhler said the OCWA is doing as much as it can with the resources available. But the municipalities simply can’t afford to finance the project on their own.

“I’m a little bit distraught right now because we were counting on that commitment

from the province,” said Buhler in an interview on Thursday, March 6. “Now the municipalities have to figure out if they should set aside funds for the project – which may or may not happen– or concentrate on their own immediate infrastructure needs when they set their own budgets. It’s a tough call.”

LOBBY EFFORTS

Buhler said the OCWA has been lobbying the province on the issue. Attempts to have representatives of the provincial government attend the last several monthly OCWA meetings at the Corman Park office in Saskatoon proved unsuccessful. It wasn’t until a hastily-arranged meeting with Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff took place during the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association convention in Regina that municipal officials were able to state their case to the Minister and Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA) President Wayne Dybvig.

At that meeting, both Cheveldayoff and Dybvig said the OCWA projects were a high priority.

• LAMINATES • HARDWOOD • AREA RUGS • CARPET • VINYL • TILE

“At that meeting, Mr. Dybvig told us to continue our endeavours to move ahead with the Osler Ditch,” said Buhler. “I asked him when can we expect to find out if money will be allocated in the budget and I was told to give him a call at the end of February.

“We had an OCWA meeting scheduled for February 25, so I called him for an update, and he told me there is no funding available in the 2014 budget,” continued Buhler. “So that means we are not getting any dollars from government this year.”

Buhler said Dybvig indicated the province would work with the federal government to cost-share a funding arrangement in the future, “but that still doesn’t help us for 2014. We know there will be no funding in place and, basically, we are at a standstill with the project.”

Buhler said he is looking to set up a meeting for OCWA member municipalities after the upcoming Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) convention in mid-March.

“We’ll see where we go from there,” he stated.

Water management focus of upcoming conference

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

While many communities across the province are gearing up for potential floods this spring, farmers in some areas of Saskatchewan are wondering if there’s enough soil moisture to seed a crop in a few weeks.

In a province that’s still haunted by the devastating decade-long drought of the 1930s, few issues are as important as water.

A major conference on “The Future of Water Management in Saskatchewan” is slated to take place in Saskatoon March 19-21 in Saskatoon. The conference, organized jointly by the Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds (SAW) and the Saskatchewan Conservation and Development Association (SCDA), will focus on protecting and conserving source water for future generations while meeting the needs of current economic growth.

“Water is so important for everyone,” said Ben Buhler, Mayor of Osler and Chair of the or-

ganizing committee for the conference. “It’s the common denominator for everything from wildlife conservation to industrial development.”

Buhler, a former dairy farmer, has a passionate interest in ecology and understands the vital role of wetlands. But he is also a pragmatist who wants to promote sustainable economic development and growth for the region and the province.

He believes a balance can be achieved among all the competing demands for water use.

Buhler is Chair of the Opimihaw Creek Watershed Association, a Director with the South Saskatchewan River Watershed Stewards Inc., and is also Treasurer for SAW. That’s a lot of different hats, but all those groups share many common objectives and Buhler believes it’s important to look at the big picture when it comes to water management.

That’s one of the reasons the SAW is jointly co-sponsoring the conference this year, said Buhler.

“Every year we put on an an-

nual conference, and it’s always about water, but this year it focuses specifically on the future of water management in this province,” he said. “There’s a lot of overlap between SAW and the Conservation and Development Association, so we thought we’d try to work together.”

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

Buhler said the keynote speaker for the conference is Dr. Patricia Gober, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan who works closely with the Global Institute of Water Security. She will focus on “Water Security in the Canadian Prairies: Science and Management Challenges.” Another major speaker is Cliff Smith, who was the chief engineer overseeing the construction of the Gardiner Dam at Lake Diefenbaker in the 1960s.

“Cliff is getting up in years now, but he’s still very articulate and very interesting to listen to,” said Buhler. “He doesn’t always agree with how the government is operating the dam.”

WILLOWGROVE & SILVERSPRINGS LOCATIONS

306.260.0801

The conference will also feature an update on the province’s 25-year water security plan from officials with the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA).

There will be a panel discussion on the industrial use of water, said Buhler.

“The speakers are mainly from the oil and potash industries,” he said. “I realize the Fortune Minerals proposed refinery in the area could also come up for discussion, but it’s not specifically on the agenda.”

Two farm tours are also planned to dairy farms in the Osler area which utilize environmentally-friendly techniques.

“We’ll be touring Ken Klassen’s farm which utilizes a robot milker, and also the Cornelius farm which uses a manure management process to clean and recycle dried manure for bedding in the stalls of the 800 cows they milk,” said Buhler. who noted the conference is open to the public. “We welcome everyone. I would be very glad to see a big turnout.”

Above-normal runoff expected

Communities prepare for possible flooding

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Will there be flooding this spring?

It all depends on what Mother Nature decides to do over the next six weeks, according to Dwayne Rowlett, Manager of Northern Regional Services with the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA).

“A slow melt would be nice,” Rowlett told a gathering of municipal officials at a meeting in Warman on Thursday, March 6. “We would like to see conditions where the temperature is about 5 degrees in the daytime and then it drops down to minus 5 or so at night. That would give the ice channels a chance to drain the water away as the snow gradually melts.”

But on the other hand, a “nightmare scenario” involving a prolonged period of cold temperatures followed by a sudden warming trend could spell trouble, he said.

“If it stays cold for a long time, say about minus 15 degrees, and then suddenly rises to plus 10 and doesn’t freeze at night, then things will come hard and fast,” he said. “Those are the conditions where you’re more likely to get some flooding.”

The WSA is predicting above-normal runoff for the area northwest of Sakatoon, based on current soil conditions and snow cover. But Rowlett said the amount of runoff is likely to be less than last year if current trends continue for the next few weeks.

“Last year was an exceptional year for snowfall,” said Rowlett. “We haven’t had as much so far this winter. The Martensville area snow pack, for example, is about 41 per cent of last year’s level. The area around Hafford is about 53 per cent of last year. There is more snow as you go further north, with the largest accumulations between Prince Albert and Waskesiu areas.”

But even though the snowpack is lighter than last year, it’s still above normal for this area, noted Rowlett.

“The area between Saskatoon and North Battleford is anywhere from 115 to 150 per cent of normal,” he said.

Rowlett said runoff predictions are based on a number of factors, including accumulated snow cover, topsoil moisture conditions prior to freezeup in the fall, and precipitation in late winter and early spring. He noted that the 90-day period from mid-August to mid-November was relatively dry, which will allow the ground to soak up quite a lot of moisture when the thaw begins.

Rowlett said a lot could change in the next few weeks, depending on how much snowfall or rain falls in March and early April. “Based on current conditions, the runoff will be above normal, but not as big as last year,” he said. “Most of the runoff is likely to be contained in channels but in some cases it could overflow. We’re pushing the envelope in the area from Meltfort to Saskatoon and Redberry Lake and toward North Battleford.

The concern in this area is the amount of cumuCONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Citizen involvement key to emergency response Keeping citizens informed and involved is the key to managing emergency situations successfully, says an official with the provincial Office of the Fire Commissioner (OFC) Emergency Management and Fire Safety.

Larry Zadvorny, Emergency Services Officer with the OFC based in Prince Albert, told a meeting of municipal officials in Warman on Thursday, March 6 that providing residents with relevant and accurate information should be a priority for municipal governments faced with an emergency situation.

“Information is power,” said Zadvorny. “Making residents aware of the situation, and getting them prepared will help everyone get through it a lot easier. If you make the information available to residents, you’ll be amazed what can be accomplished. There is nothing to be gained by holding back information.”

He said Radisson and Borden both did an excellent job of involving citizens during their flood emergency last year.

Zadvorny said the province is able to provide information to municipalities to help them prepare for emergency situations by assessing the potential risk.

Municipalities should have a specific emergency plan in place, and need to ensure everyone knows their roles and responsibilities. The provincial OFC can provide training, and the province will also step in during large-scale emergencies that are beyond the scope of muicipalities, he noted.

Zadvorny said flood mitigation measures by municipalities this spring should include making sure culverts and drains are free of ice and debris, and drainage channels are not clogged.

Municipalities should also encourage residents to remove snow from the sides of houses, clear stormwater catch basins and sidewalks.

Municipalities can declare a state of emergency when absolutely necessary, but must be aware of potential liability for any actions that are taken, he noted.

He encouraged municipalities to enter into mutual aid agreements as a way of sharing personnel and equipment that could otherwise be in short supply. “These agreements should be established beforehand,” he said.

During a question period, it was suggested by several municipal leaders that additional training sessions for volunteers and key public works department staff should be available so people are trained in using specialized equipment for emergency situations.

Dave Buckingham, mayor of Borden, said during their flood situation last year it took some time before people learned how to properly fill and stack sandbags. He said having instructions early on would have been beneficial.

In the past, the provincial OFC had mobile “hot shot” teams made up of personnel that would provide physical assistance to communities on the ground. This year, there is no funding for this initiative, noted Zadvorny. “We will still come out and help you get set up and provide instructions on running the machines, but we don’t have the resources for the hot shot teams.”

FRIENDLY FIRE

Warman firefighter Kelvin Ooms gets some “high fives” from a class of four-year-olds from the Happy Tots Preschool during a tour of the Warman Fire Hall in late February. Ooms was demonstrating the firefighters’ breathing apparatus and firefighting suits to the children. Warman Deputy Fire Chef Russ Austin (in background) says tours for youngsters are designed to educate them about fire safety tips and to help allay any fears they may have about emergency responders.

Job numbers continue to increase The Saskatchewan labour market continues to perform, hitting record levels for the month of February.

There were 551,600 people employed in the province in February, up 5,400 from last year (1.0 per cent) the second highest growth rate in the country.

Full time employment was up 8,100 from last year.

“In spite of some very nasty weather in February, Saskatchewan’s job market continues to out-perform most other Canadian jurisdictions,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Most of the other provinces have been struggling with volatile labour markets over the last several months due to a variety of circumstances, yet we have been able to make some steady gains, particular-

ly in full time jobs.”

Saskatchewan had the lowest seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate in Canada in February at 3.9 per cent, well below the 7.0 per cent reported nationally. The seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate in Regina was 4.0 per cent and 4.4 per cent in Saskatoon.

Regina had the lowest unemployment rate among Canadian cities and Saskatoon ranked third. The youth unemployment rate was 9.0 per cent, second lowest among the provinces behind Alberta (8.3 per cent), and below the national rate of 13.6 per cent.

Regina’s employment was up by 3,500 (2.7 per cent), and Saskatoon’s employment was up by 7,800 (5.0 per cent).

More detailed business plan needed for South Corman Park multi-purpose facility

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

council meeting for $2.83 million.

That money would go towards building the multipurpose structure on ten acres of land between South Corman Park School and public reserve property leased by the South Corman Park Horse Group, said Hanbidge.

With the Corman Park budget slated to be announced any day now, Reeve Judy Harwood said the amount of money that is needed to bring roads up to speed and complete large capital projects doesn’t leave a lot of money left over for facilities of this magnitude.

The RM of Corman Park is looking for a more detailed business plan before deciding on whether to award funding for a new recreation facility in Corman Park.

At the March 3 council meeting a delegation from the South Corman Park Community Association addressed council on the association’s plan for a new facility.

Currently the association’s South Corman Park School log cabin runs a pre-school and soccer program. Music students from South Corman Park School use the “You gave $25,000 to Ascabin.

Harwood, Administrator Adam Tittemore, Division 6 Councilor Bas Froese-Kooijenga and Division 7 Councillor Joanne Janzen all questioned Hanbidge on when the RM could see a business plan on the multi-use-facility.

“What we received so far is that you initially presented to council a very broad idea on what you were looking for,” said Tittemore. “Then a letter was submitted indicating that you would be looking for $2.83 million.”

On February 10, the Prairie Spirit School Division carried a motion indicating its support of creating “a partnership with the South Corman Park Community Association to develop a joint community gym for South Corman Park School.”

Hanbidge told council that an engineer from the PSSD is currently working on drawings of what the structure will look like.

Hanbridge said he would provide other information the RM has requested.

Froese-Kooijenga also reminded Hanbidge that Corman Park was about the basics and not about building large community facilities.

“It is a totally different ball game and one where we would have to change our way of thinking,” said Froese-Kooijenga.

Hanbidge responded by questioning previous donations the RM has made to recreation programs in the town of Asquith,

The Town of Aberdeen’s new Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) Emergency Coordinator promises to bring a lot of valuable experience to the role. Paul Siwy took on the volunteer position for the town in early January. He is also the EMO coordinator for the RM of Aberdeen.

Siwy is originally from Toronto and spent most of his career working for corporations and government in positions, which allowed him to coordinate situations where he would have to think fast on his feet.

In the early 70s, Siwy was a weapons technician in the Princess Patricias Canadi-

an Light Infantry Battalion in Winnipeg.

On a yearly basis when the Red River flooded he was on hand as a sand bagger helping to secure the river from damaging nearby homes and businesses. When he left the military, Siwy spent 16 years working for the Toronto Transit Commission in Subway Operations, where rerailing subway and Streetcars was a common part of the job.

It only seemed natural for Siwy to want to become involved when he saw in the Town of Aberdeen’s newsletter that they were looking for a volunteer for EMO coordinator.

“The idea kind of bounced around in my head and I

thought, well I’ve got some time I should give back to the community and this seemed like a good way to do it.”

Siwy moved to Saskatoon from Hamilton, Ontario with his wife in 2012 after buying a small farm just outside of Aberdeen.

After recently finishing his Project Management Professional (PMP) certification he said he is prepared to retool Aberdeen’s EMO plan. A PMP certification usually requires a four hour exam where applicants have to show proficiency in about 10 different areas.

Siwy said his PMP certification ties in well with the duties expected from an EMO coordinator.

“It allows you to systematically plan, manage and close out a project in a matter that is very systematic so you don’t have any doubts,” explained Siwy. “You have to know exactly what your targets are and when you finish you have to ensure that you’ve met all those targets.”

When Siwy first took a look at the EMO plan for the town and RM of Aberdeen he could see a lot of areas for improvement.

RM OF CORMAN PARK

The RM of Corman Park is gearing up to prevent flooding problems, according to Reeve Judy Harwood.

“I think overall we’re in pretty good shape. Our public works department has been working steadily to get our culverts steamed and cleared out and we’ve also done a lot of channel clearing. I would like to say we’re being proactive.”

Harwood said the RM is going to be taking the message to its ratepayers that they need to take steps to protect their own property. Most landowners who have experienced flooding over the past few years have built berms and installed pumps, but they shouldn’t wait till the last minute to clear snow away from buildings or protect wellheads, she added.

VILAGE OF BORDEN

Village of Borden Mayor Dave Buckingham says his community will be much better prepared this year to deal with flooding emergencies.

Last year, a massive wall of water created by sudden thawing in the Speers area threatened both Radisson and Borden.

Both communities declared a state of emergency as volunteers spent countless hours building sandbag barriers and pumping water away from threatened homes and businesses.

“I wish we would have done a little more foroward-planing last year,” said Buckingham in an interview after the WSA briefing in Warman. “But this year, I think we’re in pretty good shape. As a council and as a community we’re more prepared for this type of situation.

Last year we had never experienced anything like it before.”

Buckingham said based on WSA reports, there is a potential for flooding and the community is getting ready.

“It depends on how muchwater there is and how fast it comes,” said Buckingham. “If the water comes through the culvert from the south side of the highway we can handle it.

But what we can’t handle is if the water is to come over the railway tracks and then over the highway. We may be able to handle it, but we’re not sure.”

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2014 PG. 7

Is there a decibel Crisis reminds us we are agriculture reader for measuring noisy neighbours?

There’s really not much good to be found in today’s grain transportation crisis, a body blow to an optimistic-farming community and to rural Saskatchewan as a whole.

I always get a kick out of how motorcyclists and drivers always are the ones who get blamed for excessive noise in the City of Saskatoon.

For anyone who is a renter, and I include myself in that group, this noise bylaw should be a little more all encompassing to include tenant noise as well.

At the City of Saskatoon’s executive committee meeting recently the council decided to move forward with a draft bylaw amendment that would allow Saskatoon Police officers to carry decibel readers and issue tickets for cars and motorcycles whose vehicles emit sound greater than 92dB. JAMES Well, that’s great for anTARRANT yone who is truly trouPrairie Screechin’ bled every time a Harley Davidson or souped-up Dodge Ram half-ton races down your street, but what about home owners who live in areas where a lot of university or college students rent, or tenants who simply are selfish about their noise pollution and don’t care about bothering others. Where is the bylaw protecting them?

When you are constantly woken up in the early morning hours on a Sunday night to screaming kids who you would think should be in bed, to a party which should have ended hours ago or excessive door-slamming and foot-stomping going up and down stairs, should there be decibel meter for that?

It would be nice if two families who share a dwelling were courteous to each other, but unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world.

Now offences under the Saskatoon bylaw state that a first offence will cost you a $100 fine, $200 for a second offence and $400 for a third offence, and continuing offences of not more than $10,000.

There is an option for tenants like myself, who have noisy neighbours. We can appeal to the province’s Office of Residential Tenancies.

There you can fill out a form and seek compensation against a landlord who does nothing about a tenant who is in violation of the bylaw.

I know only a couple of weeks ago I was forced to call the police on my tenant neighbours downstairs, who were partying till the wee hours of the morning on a Wednesday night. I can only hope a fine was issued, but the police are not going to tell me if that was the case because apparently, my noisy neighbours are entitled to their privacy.

There needs to be a simpler system to remedy residential decibels of noise and the Saskatoon Police should also be measuring residential decibels as well.

In Saskatoon’s noise bylaw it states that “any noise which unreasonably disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace or safety of reasonable persons of ordinary sensitivity within the jurisdictional limits of the city,” is prohibited.

The bylaw also states that “factors for determining whether a sound is unreasonably loud includes “proximity to sleeping facilities, whether commercial or residential.”

The most interesting fact is the bylaw’s time period allowance for prohibited noises, include lawn mowers, snow blowers and similar devices. You’re in violation of the bylaw if you fire these machines up between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. on a weekday and 10 p.m. and 9 a.m. on a Sunday or statutory holiday.

However, there is no set time period for people who own stereo equipment, musical instruments or similar devices, or party-goers, which means anyone who rents next to an individual who owns this equipment and disturbs another renter is prohibited from doing so, but is not in violation of the bylaw for any set period of time.

It doesn’t make sense to me. If I am reading it wrong then it needs to be better explained.

Provincial Politics

A bumper crop unlike anything some lifelong farmers have ever experienced has suddenly met the grim reality that it’s not worth anything until it’s moved to port.

Moreover, what farmers can get for this bumper crop now is far less than anticipated, some estimate $2 a bushel less for wheat, simply because we have a glut of grain that’s not moving.

Ironically, the ultimate source of this grain transportation problem is the very thing that’s turned our province around in the past decade, wealth of resources like oil and, to a certain extent, potash.

CN and CP, now both private entities accountable only

rail companies. There is a reason why there are more than 200 registered lobbyists in the nation’s capital working for the rail companies. They are there because what they do has always produced results that favour the railways over the grain companies.

But there can be no doubt that Ottawa’s reluctance to take action against the railways is why the railways continue to act exclusively in the interests of shareholder profits by choosing to move oil over grain.

Ritz can bluster all he wants.

Until he comes to terms with the fact it is his job to intervene on behalf of farmers who need that grain moved, he is of no more helpful to rural Saskatchewan than the Liberals were.

But while all this may seem disheartening and rather hopeless, there may be a slight silver lining to all of this. It has helped Saskatchewan rediscover who it really is: an agriculture province whose first and foremost interest always should always be farming.

That Ritz, Harper et. al. have taken a hands-off approach to the railways that have far more interest in moving oil

says much about how they are failing to deal with Saskatchewan’s biggest issue.

They are quickly becoming out-of-touch with a province that has rediscovered that it does not exist solely to make rich oil companies and railways even richer. Saskatchewan is about farming and it’s time for the Ritz and Conservatives to stand up for what truly matters most to this province.

Contrast the feds with what we’ve seen from Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party government, also tied to the oil economy, that has at least tried to make resolving the grain glut its priority.

Consider last week’s emergency debate in the legislature where all MLAs from Wall to Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart to ordinary backbenchers like Scott Moe, Greg Brkich and Kathy Sproule spoke passionately and intelligently on this important agriculture issue.

No, it didn`t get the grain moving. But it was good to see that some Saskatchewan politicians do remember who we really are in Saskatchewan.

We are agriculture.

Reader Opinions

Refinery project would leave unwanted legacy The Fortune Minerals presentation was a propaganda exercise and it is their right.

With an alleged market capitalization of $45,000,000 it’s their right to talk it up. It’s also likely the principals of the venture have plenty of stock options available. We can assume the intent is to utilize tax abatements, green energy grants, publicity, advertising etc. and sell the package at a selling opportunity.

to their investor shareholders, can blame the cold weather all they want. The reality is the railways have done everything possible to maximize shareholder profits, causing a twofold problem for farmers.

Cutting their fleets of locomotives and cars combined with making the movement of oil their priority, again, all in the name of maximum shareholder profit, is the cause of today’s grain transportation problem.

And why that problem isn’t being fixed has to do with a federal government that is unwilling to address this issue.

Maybe it all can’t be blamed on the federal Conservative government’s push to end the Canadian Wheat Board’s clout as the monopoly player. But it is also clear that this political move aimed at appeasing farmers hamstrung by the lack of marketing choice has eliminated whatever effective role the CWB played in rail car distribution.

And, again, maybe Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz aren’t the first Ottawa politicians to be captivated by the

MARTENSVILLE & WARMAN

Regional high school still awaiting approval from Education Ministry

JAMES TARRANT | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Co-owner Laura Orenchuk stands on the balcony overlooking CJ’s Climb and Play’s multi-tiered play structure

New children’s play facility opens doors

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

CJ’s Climb and Play officially opened its doors to the public with its grand opening March 8.

The new facility, located next to OK Tire off South Railway Street West in Warman is likely to become a popular feature for families in Warman, Martensville and points in between, especially for those who want their children to stay active.

The main attraction of the facility is a huge 26’x56’x16’ multi-tiered play structure, which includes five levels and about 30 platforms, said co-owner Laura Orenchuk.

The playoff structure, which was designed by British Columbia based Orca Coast Playground Ltd., took four weeks to assemble, said Orenchuk.

“They landed here probably about the 14 of January and they stayed at the Warman Hotel until it was assembled,” said Orenchuk. “They worked seven days a week until it was done.”

The facility also features a large spacious area with six tables in the main seating area. Parents can sit and enjoy a beverage while watching two large television screens that hang from above as well as a security TV screen so parents can see where their kids are playing in the structure.

The main floor also includes two party rooms with space available for about 32 kids.

If parents want some quiet time they also have the option of watching their kids play in the play structure in comfy seats from the facilities balcony.

The balcony also includes a designated toddler area for parents with kids aged three and younger.

Orenchuk announced plans to build the facility in the November 21 edition of the Clarks Crossing Gazette.

She said the goal with building the facility is provide a little something for everyone.

“We want to please the moms and dads who need somewhere to go with their kids, especially during the eight months of winter,” said Orenchuk.

“We are not looking to become a big corporate enterprise.”

Orenchuk said so far the response has been positive. Before the facili-

ty opened its doors on Saturday, it already had 12 birthday parties booked including a Saskatoon-based summer day camp called Bricks For Kids who will be using the facility this summer.

“It is a franchised based company and they work through the Lego company,” said Orenchuk. “They set it up camp style where kids use tablets (iPads) and build things page by page in a group setting.”

Orenchuk said it is surreal to finally open the facility.

“It is hard to believe it is finally here but we have a lot of work ahead of us,” said Orenchuk. “Just getting our name out there, gaining a good reputation, keeping the structure clean and keeping this facility a comfortable place for families to visit with their kids are our goals.”

An application by the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) for a new $60 million regional high school to be shared between Warman and Martensville is still in the hands of the provincial Ministry of Education.

An application for a preliminary capital funding request was sent to the Ministry in October 2013. So far no word has been received on whether it will be approved, according to Larry Pavloff, Chair of the PSSD Board of Education.

In an interview Monday March 10, Pavloff said the proposed new high school for Grades 9 through 12 has a projected completion date of 2021. By that time, he noted, the existing high schools in Warman and Martensville will be at or near capacity.

“By 2021, our elementary schools in both Martensville and Warman will be feeding us those students,” said Pavloff. “And we won’t have any more space to put them. It’s very important to begin planning this new high school to serve both communities as soon as possible because they’re both growing so quickly.”

Pavloff indicated the school division is interested in working with partners in trades and industry to strengthen practical trades education courses in carpentry, plumbing, electrical and other areas. He said the experience of the “DaVinci Project” at W.W. Brown High School in Langham has been positive. “We would love to go in that direction,” he said.

The school division has been having ongoing meetings with both the City of Martensville and the City of Warman on the proposed regional high school, as well as on the locations and partnership arrangements for new P3 elementary schools.

Pavloff said the projected completion dates for the two new P3 jointuse elementary schools in Warman and Martensville is 2017. The schools, which are slated to serve students in both public and Catholic school divisions, are currently in

very preliminary stages of planning, and Pavloff said the projected 2017 opening date for both will be “pushing it.”

Pavloff said while no talks have yet been held with the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division on partnerships related to the P3 schools, he is “looking forward” to those discussions.

This week in Saskatoon, input is being gathered on the design of the P3 schools from Ministry staff, school division officials, teachers, students, and parents.

Pavloff, who is a representative of the public school trustees association on the province’s infrastructure advisory committee, said it’s important that any future school for the highgrowth region take into account the likelihood of additional relocatable classrooms being added in the future.

“In areas like Martensville and Warman, when a school is built, we have to build the core of the school large enough to support adding on relocatable classrooms and adding on portions to the outside of the school,” said Pavloff. “Right now the core is designed to accommodate the current size of the school, but it doesn’t take into account the future growth.”

The “core” of the school includes things like the gymnasium, library, washrooms, office space, computer labs and other rooms that are used by the whole school, said Pavloff.

“My suggestion to the Minister has always been to enlarge the core of the school so that it is prepared to take on those extra spaces that we add to the school later on,” he said. “Even if a school is initially designed to only hold 450 students, you have to design the core to accommodate up to 800 students.”

Pavloff said he is hopeful the PSSD’s application for the regional high school will be acknowledged in the upcoming provincial budget set for release on Wednesday, March 19.

He said PSSD school trustees and officials will be in Regina on that date.

Growth spurs rise in revenue for Warman More businesses moving in

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The City of Warman is “open for business” in a big way, according to Warman City Manager Stan Westby.

At a recent “business networking breakfast” at Great Plains Regional College, Westby told the audience of academics, civic officials and business owners that the rate of growth for the community is unprecedented.

“There is more growth happening here than in any other community I’ve seen,” said Westby, who has served in senior civic managerial positions in several cities in BC’s lower mainland and also in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Westby said there has been a 50 per cent increase in the number of building permits in Warman from 2011 to 2013.

“Permits went from 404 in 2011 to 563 in 2012, and then to 604 last year,” said Westby. “The value of those permits was roughly $84 million in 2011, $78 million in 2012, and $97 million in 2013. That’s a total value of nearly $260 million in building permits in three years.”

He noted the expanding com munity has seen an increase in revenue from property taxes to the tune of about $1.2 million annually.

“That’s not coming from an increase in the taxation level,” he said. “That’s strictly from more properties paying taxes.”

Business licenses in Warman have increased 33 per cent over that three year period, he added, going from 333 in 2011 to 463 in 2013.

“It’s also a very diversified community,” he added. “The key challenge is to manage the growth and development.”

Westby said the city council will be adopting a new strategic plan for the city in the fall, and he said input on that plan is welcome.

The major priority will be the city’s core infrastructure, he noted.

“The key priorities are keeping the community safe with good water, good sewers, good roads and good public services,” he said. “Infrastructure needs are important, but there is also the quality of life issues including recreation, health and schools. These are all very imortant to residents.”

Public works crews dealing with fluctating temperatures ground, and when the temperature warms up, as it has recently, that frost tends to go even deeper.

“When you get some nice days like this, and then all of a sudden it turns cold, that’s where you get an issue of pipes frezing up,” he said, adding the public works crews are using a flush of hot water to melt the ice and clear the lines.

“We have had a few calls from homeowners about frozen waterlines. Their service connections are frozen and they’re not getting water to their houses. We’re dealing with them as quickly as we can.”

Fehr said Warman isn’t the only community facing this problem.

Record-cold temperatures followed by a sudden melt have caused some challenges for public works crews in a number of municipalities.

“We have had a few challenges due to below normal temperatures in recent weeks,” said Warman Public Works and Utilities Manager Randy Fehr in his report to Warman City Council on Monday, March 10.

“We have had some issues with our water and sewer infrastructure freezing, and we’re trying our best to deal with each case in a timely manner.”

In an interview, Fehr said the extreme cold caused the frost to penetrate deeper into the

The old rate was $78 for the first 6,000 gallons. The old rate for anything over 6,000 gallons was $13 per 1,000 gallons.

The quarterly sewer rates were also amended. Commerical and industrial rates will now be 30 per cent of the quarterly water charge, subject to a minimum charge of $30 per quarter. The residential rate will be 20 per cent of the quarterly water charge, subject to a minimum charge of $30 per quarter.

Other municipalities and rural water utilities will be implementing similar increases as they pass on the provincial rate hike to their customers, effective April 1.

ing that issue right now,” he said. “It’s not just Warman.

The public works crews are also working to ensure the stormwater drains are free of ice and debris to allow meltwater to run freely from the streets, said Fehr.

“We’re busy right now with catch basins,” he said. “I think overall everything is going as well as can be expected. If we get a nice slow melt, with abovefreezing temperatures during the day and freezing at night, it should go okay.”

Warman City Council amended a bylaw at that meeting to allow for a change in the quarterly water rates charged to residents and businesses.

By CHARLENE TEBBUTT ctebbutt@yahoo.com

From his childhood in Dalmeny in the 1960s to Bible College in the 1970s and then medical college, Dr. Randy Friesen has learned a lot and had a rewarding career. And, he continues to learn in his profession and work toward improved health care for patients.

Friesen, the head of general surgery for the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region, has been recognized for his leadership and interest in medical administration with a Canadian Certified Physician Executive (CCPE) credential. He was one of just 29 doctors across Canada to be recognized by the Canadian Medical Association as a certified physician executive in 2013.

Dr. Friesen, a surgeon with a full roster of patients in Prince Albert, also heads up the department of general surgery for the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region. The Canadian Medical Association, which developed the CCPE credential along with the Canadian Society of Physician Executives, says the designation means Friesen has the skills and leadership qualities needed to help bring about positive change within the country’s complicated health care system.

“Dr. Friesen began his adventures in medical administration in the somewhat hostile environment of Saskatchewan in the early 1990s. He could not have imagined that the Saskatchewan doctors’ strike of 30 years before had so estranged physicians and the upper echelons of medical administra-

tion,” the Canadian Medical Association stated in a news release.

“He engaged his local hospital and - after regionalization - his regional administrations regularly. He served with his provincial medical association, and subsequently with his provincial college of physicians and surgeons … Dr. Friesen’s professional vision centres around patient and family-centred care, around building capacity for rural and remote people and around surgical education. He loves teaching surgical skills. He loves the personal nature of clinical practice.”

Friesen took his first management and leadership courses in the early 1990s. He began doing research and taking administrative courses as a way to do his part to help better manage the healthcare system.

“Our medical culture in Saskatchewan in terms of the medical profession has been quite negative (but) as a whole physicians care deeply … and you know what, the Ministry of Health cares too,” Friesen said in a recent interview.

“For rural Canadians travelling for care is a huge burden (so) where I expend my energy and where I try to improve the system is rural care.”

Friesen still handles a full roster of patients along with his administrative duties. He said by working together, patients are receiving better care. Friesen was instrumental in creating a system of pooling referrals to surgical specialists to give patients the option of seeing the first available specialist, instead of waiting for a specific surgeon.

Friesen said specialists in the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region were the first to adopt the pooled referral method for their patients.

“Everybody is seeing their patients in about a month,” Friesen added.

Friesen said he had an early interest in surgery during his medical school training. That interest was cemented when he travelled to the Congo (then known as Zaire) as part of his studies.

“That’s where I discovered that I really enjoyed surgery,” Friesen said.

“Of all the things I had been exposed to, this is what got me buzzing … you can actually fix something.”

Friesen applied to the surgical program at the University of Saskatchewan during his internship at St. Paul’s Hospital in the mid-1980s. Friesen was able to complete the first few years of his surgical training in Regina – a decision which had other benefits as well.

“I met a girl,” Friesen remembers fondly.

And Friesen later married that girl, Connie Warkentin, in 1985. Then, while wrapping up his last year of studies, he got a call from the CEO of the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region with a job offer.

He opened his first office on September 17, 1990.

Friesen admits he needed good study habits to fulfill his dream of becoming a successful doctor. Those important study habits were formed during two years in Bible College in Three Hills, Alta. following high school.

Dr. Randy Friesen, originally from Dalmeny, is head of general surgery for Prince Albert Parkland Health Region ence as an eye-opener, saying students were also expected to help with farm work including tending to the garden and milking cows. While Friesen admits Bible school was “a bit of a culture shock,” he made friends and developed solid study habits due to the school’s strict academic rules.

“It was very self-enclosed and everybody looked after each other,” Friesen added.

“It some ways, I felt freer (and) it was there that I rediscovered my passion for medicine … I saw it as another way of helping people in distress.”

Dr. Friesen still has fond memories of his time in Dalmeny as well. The third of seven children, Friesen moved with his family to the community in 1964, on his seventh birthday.

Friesen remembers the year

running water was installed and the day his family got a rotary phone as part of the 1967 Centennial project.

“I called my friend just down the street … it was so exciting,” he recalls.

He said life in Dalmeny was calm and safe and gave him lots of time to explore.

“For me, it was tons of fun,” he added.

Friesen also enjoyed his school days in Dalmeny. Growing up in a small community, he remembers being able to try a range of sports and activities in school. He was president of his student council in Gr. 11.

“I wasn’t a super athlete, but I really enjoyed the competition,” he said.

“In a small school, you get drafted for everything, so it was a huge part of my education.”

And, Friesen still maintains that busy lifestyle in Prince Albert. He and Connie raised four children: Luke, 26, who has a history degree; Brendan, 24, who is studying at SIAST; Katie, 22, a pre-pharmacy student; and Maxine, a Gr. 12 student in Prince Albert.

When he isn’t working on ways to improve the health care system, Dr. Friesen enjoys singing in a choir, playing guitar, biking, cross-country skiing and golfing.

He is also helping support his wife Connie as she battles cancer.

“You don’t really understand illness until you live with it,” said Friesen.

“It’s not a death sentence, it’s a chronic illness (and) you learn to live … she’s still kind of holding the family together.”

The Langham Vikings are on their way to the Hoopla provincial high school basketball championships in Regina this coming weekend.

The host Vikings edged Rosthern Junior College 54-51 in the final game of the regional playoffs on Saturday, March 8 to win the right to advance to the final-four tournament in the provincial capital.

The Vikings had been knocked out of contention the last two years in a row at regionals, and they weren’t about to let that happen this time.

“We didn’t want a threepeat,” said Vikings coach Cheryl Hardcastle after the Vikings salted away the victory. “The girls were very focused this year. Right from the very first practice, they all said their goal this year is to make it Hoopla and represent our region. They did it, and the whole community is very proud of them.”

Hardcastle said the victory was especially sweet for the team members, most of whom have played together since they were in Grade 6. “We have five Grade 12 players in the lineup,” she said. “They’re all good friends and they have a lot of chemistry between them. They play as a team, and it shows.”

It was also the first time in living memory that Walter W. Brown High School in Langham has hosted a regional basketball tournament, said Hardcastle.

“It’s really special,” she said. “We’ve spent a lot of years building this basketball culture here, and you can see by the packed bleachers that it’s pretty popular.”

Hardcastle credited her co-coach, Jenna Harder, with making a big difference in helping the team find a way to win. “Jenna is a volunteer coach who lives in the community, and she’s got two little kids, but she’s so dedicated,” said Hardcastle. “She brings her youth and enthusiasm and energy to the program, and all the kids have bought in to her message and her game plan.”

The Vikings easily brushed aside the eventual bronze-medal winner, Paradise Hill, by a

score of 87-35 in the opening game of the regional tournament on Friday, March 7, while RJC dispatched Davidson by a similar margin, setting the table for the championship final on Saturday.

The crowd got their money’s worth in that one, with the lead shifting back and forth throughout the game. RJC got off to a quick start and held a slim lead until early in the second quarter, when Langham went out in front. In the fourth

quarter things got really interesting. Langham built up what looked to be a safe 50-35 lead with a little over five minutes left in the game, but RJC rallied back to make things way too close for comfort in the dying seconds.

“It was a little tense at the end there,” admitted Hardcastle, wiping a tear of joy from her eye as the team celebrated their victory. “But we pulled it off and we’re off to Hoopla next weekend. It’s pretty exciting.”

Titans edge Wildcats in Game 1 of provincial Pee Wee AA playoffs League playoffs also underway this week

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Pee Wee AA Wildcats suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Saskatoon Titans at the Legends Centre in Warman on Sunday, March 9, losing 4-3 in a tight-checking contest.

The Wildcats will try to regroup for Game 2 of the twogame, total points provincial Pee Wee AA playoff series when the scene shifts to Saskatoon’s home barn, the Cosmo Civic Centre on Sunday, March 16.

The winner of the series goes on to the provincial final, and the Wildcats are hoping they can overcome the one-goal deficit and get back to their seasonlong winning ways.

“One goal is not a huge deficit, but we’re going to have to score a lot more points and generate a lot more offense if we hope to win the series,” said Wildcats coach Dustin Cyr after the game. “This wasn’t our best effort, and it showed.

Saskatoon out-battled us, and we didn’t deserve to win. It’s very disappointing. The players aren’t happy, and hopefully that’s a good sign that they’ll pick it up for the next game.”

The Saskatoon Titans built up a two-goal lead thanks to an even-strength marker by Levi Morley late in the first period and a power-play goal midway through the second by Levi Wiesner.

But Warman battled back with two quick goals by Kyrell Sopotyk and Cole Hardy to even things up heading into the second intermission. The two clubs

traded goals when Wiesner collected his second of the night for the Titans and Adam Power replied with a snapshot from the high slot for the Wildcats.

Warman had lots of chances but failed to capitalize, especially on the power play. A 5-on-3 man advantage for the Wildcats late in the third frame was successfully killed off by Saskatoon, and when Saskatoon’s Tristan Shewchuk scored the winning goal for the visitors with 1:43 left on the clock it seemed to take the wind out of the sails of the home team.

PLAYOFF GAMES SET

The Wildcats had a week-long rest prior to the game, and the rust and nerves showed, conceded Cyr. But they’ll be playing plenty of hockey over the next week or so, as they also prepare for the Prince Albert NAPA Raiders in the Centre Four Hockey League (CFHL) championship playoffs.

The series against Prince Albert is a best-of-three affair.

The Wildcats host Game 1 on Wednesday, March 12 at the Legends Centre in Warman at 7:15 p.m. The second game of the CFHL series goes in Prince Albert at the Kinsmen Arena on Saturday, March 15 at 1:30 p.m., and Game 3, if necessary, is back in Warman at the Legends Centre on Monday, March 17 at 7:15 p.m.

Sandwiched in between those final two CFHL playoff games is the second game in the provincial series against Saskatoon on Sunday, March 16 at the Cosmo Civic Centre. Game time is 215 p.m.

Warman Wolverines advance to Hoopla Nearly forty years since team won provincial crown

By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

The last time the Warman Wolverines High School senior girls basketball team advanced to the Hoopla provincial championship final was in the 197475 season. Betty Bird, the current coach of the regional 4A champion Warman Wolverines, was a Grade 9 student on that team.

Bird recalled her role as a bench player, playing her heart out when called on to give the starters a rest, and cheering her teammates on as the team won the chamionship thirtynine years ago.

It was with a great deal of pride and satisfaction that Bird talked about the 2014 Senior Girls basketball squad.

Bird said despite the fact this year’s squad was relatively inexperienced they had the talent to be special.

“We were a brand new crew but we really gelled together,” she said. “We had only four girls return from last year, but we had amazing talent. That was our goal this year; to get to Hoopla.”

The team realized their goal as the hosted the Regional Tournament on Friday, March 7 and Saturday, March 8.

The Wolverines dominated the Melfort Comets in Friday’s semi-final game. They built on a 48-17 first half lead to win the game 84-42. Janaya Brown led to team with 21 points, while Grade 9 guard Faith Reid contributed 20 points.

The finals proved to be a little more of a challenge when

they faced a determined squad from Prince Albert. The Carlton Crusaders had advanced to the finals with a semi-final win over the Humboldt Mohawks.

Carlton took an early lead before Warman began to settle down and play their game.

Warman had a slim 17-15 lead at the end of the first quarter, and increased their lead to 3639 at the half. A dominant second half gave the home squad a 71-50 win, and their much treasured entrance into Hoopla.

The Wolverines were led in scoring by another talented Grade 9 athlete, Chelsea Misskey, who scored 26 points.

Coach Bird talked about the commitment required to get to this level: “I am very proud of those girls but it comes with a lot of hard work,” she said. “We

had a lot of practices and made a lot of sacrifices. We were at eight tournaments this year.

That is a lot of weekends to give up.”

The Wolverines have lost only three games this year.

Each of those losses were to Moose Jaw Peacock in tournaments. Coach Bird said it would be special if the Wolverines could face Peacock, especially if it was in the finals.

She felt the girls have really improved and are quick to learn new schemes. She emphasized that they have the talent, and the skill.

“We can do it if we stick to our game plan,” she concluded. “The key is to not get too wound up and play our game.”

Hoopla 2014 is set to begin on Thursday, March 13 in Regina.

AQUARIUS January 20– February 18

Aquarius, you can’t put your finger on it, but something positive seems to be on the horizon. The truth will reveal itself in the next few days.

PISCES February 19– March 20

Pisces, fight against the current for something you truly believe in. Unexpected events arise on Thursday.

ARIES March 21– April 19

This week you need to be the follower instead of the leader, Aries. It may be difficult to go against your normal grain, but it is for the best. Keep an open mind.

TAURUS April 20– May 20

Your confidence may wane sometime this week, Taurus, but some friends will boost your morale to help you get back on your feet. Saturday will be a big day.

GEMINI May 21– June 21

Gemini, certain things that have to get done this week are out of your realm of expertise. Do your best to tackle these projects but have a helper on hand just in case.

Bruins drop Game 1 to Redwings

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Delisle Bruins lost Game 1 of the Sask Valley Hockey League’s second round bestof-five series against the Rosetown Redwings, March 5.

The Redwings were the Achilles heel for the Bruins last season, sweeping them in three games.

There was no scoring in the opening period, although the Redwings changed that less than halfway through the sec-

ond period when Keegan McAvoy scored his first of two goals in the second period.

McAvoy scored again on a set up from teammate Kirk Pearce to take a 2-0 lead for the Redwings heading into the third period.

The Bruins Anthony Climenhaga answered back with a goal to break the shutout with assists from Dan Hounjet and Justin Kerr in the third period.

The Redwings Brett Dickie increased his team’s cushion to 3-1 two minutes later before

the Bruins Chad Laing made the game close just under seven minutes to go in the third.

The Redwings put the nail in the coffin for the Bruins with an open net goal by Kyle Hood after the Bruins pulled their goaltender for an extra attacker.

The Bruins will play the next two games in the best of five playoff series in Delisle. Game two will be played at 8 p.m. on March 12, while game three will be played March 14 at 8:30 p.m.

Clavet Cougars boys, girls teams aiming for double gold at provincials

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Clavet Senior Boys and Girls Basketball Teams will be returning to Hoopla after easily defeating their respective opponents during the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Associations Regional Tournament, March 7-8 at Clavet High School.

The Clavet Senior Girls earned their way to the Hoopla provincial tournament by defeating Outlook High School by a score of 94 to 39.

Senior Girls coach Chad Williams said getting the opportunity to play at Hoopla is something the girls strive for all year.

“We came out strong. Outlook was a good opponent, but we executed well and came out with a win,” said Williams.

Ayla Brecknell and Jill Ehman controlled the flow of the game, pressuring Outlook’s defence and dominating from the perimeter and inside.

Williams led the Senior Girls to a 15W-7L overall record in his first year as coach. He said it was a great experience “I think any time you come in to coach a new team, especially a team that has had previous success, everyone is skeptical and feeling each other out,” said Williams. “We have both adjusted to each other and so far it has worked out.”

As much as the Senior Girls dominated Outlook and other teams prior to the 3A Regional Tournament, Williams said it is really hard to nail down weak aspects of his team. He did say he is a big believer in defence.

“Offence will come but if you can stop them first and fore-

“It is sad for him because he is in Grade 12 and lost his opportunity to play in Hoopla,” said McTavish. “It was emotional for us because we haven’t really played a lot without him this year.”

McTavish said Lendsay controlled the tempo of the game, anticipated opportunities for the team to run the ball and SENIOR BOYS HOOPLA pass the ball in areas of the This is the fourth year in a court where his teammates row that Clavet’s Senior Boys could be successful. qualified for Hoopla.

The Senior Girls last won gold at Hoopla in 2011, never qualified in 2012 and placed second in 2013.

Williams said winning Hoopla essentially comes down to how badly teams want it.

“We will probably see Caronport and Indian Head. They will be good games and we are evenly matched against them,” said Williams.

The Sask Valley Vipers earned a trip to the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League North Division Provincial Semi-Final with a 7-1 over the Humboldt Broncos in the best of three series, March 9.

It was a hard fought victory for the Vipers’ players who were forced to step up their game after losing leading scorer Jared Hamm in game two.

Benson Thorpe led the scoring with three goals in the final game, followed by Chance Adrian, Ty McBeth, Tylin Cameron and Matthew Conlon, who each scored single markers.

Scoring started off slow for the Vipers in the opening game of the series at Warman’s Legends Centre, March 4.

The Broncos’ top scorer Erik Gardiner dented the twine early in the first period followed by teammates Austin Hilts and Justin Oronych who helped increase the score to 3-1 early in the second period.

The Vipers fought back with an unassisted marker by Hamm with just under seven minutes remaining in the second period and an impressive penalty shot by Chance Adrian, who was hauled down by Gardiner on a previous play to make the score close at 3-2.

Ty MacBeth knotted up the sore at 3-3 just under the half way point of the third period before Gardiner blasted one from the point on the power play to even the score at 4-4 with just under seven minutes to play in the third.

The tie resulted in a ten minute overtime where Hamm on a set up from Adrian and Austin Wieler buried the puck for a 5-4 overtime win.

Vipers coach Shaun Priel said he was happy with his team’s come from behind effort.

“We started slow but we encouraged the kids to shoot

Sask Valley Vipers Chance Adrian races towards the Broncos’ net during game one of the best of three second round playoff series against the Humboldt Broncos, March 4. Adrian scored 5 goals and one assist, propelling the Vipers to the SBAAHL North Division Semi-Final against the Northeast Wolfpack on Saturday, March 15 at the Legends Centre in Warman more in the second and third periods,” said Priel. “They demonstrated their resilience again, and pushed through for the win.”

Game two in Humboldt was almost like a basketball match, March 7 with both team’s trading goals for all three periods before Gardiner scored the winner early in the second overtime period to secure a 4-3 win for the Broncos.

Adrian scored all three Vipers goals in game two, but the team lost the services of leading goal scorer Jared Hamm.

“He skated the first shift and he looked like he was wincing a bit,” said Priel. “He went out for his second shift and he was done after that.”

Priel discovered from Hamm

that the injury could possibly be a strained hip flexor. He is unsure how long Hamm will be out if that is indeed the injury he sustained.

“Hamm is pretty upset. He recognizes his importance to us on the team,” said Priel. “It is sad for him but I told him that the injury is something that he can’t control.”

The win means the Vipers will play the North East Wolfpack in the SBAAHL North Division Provincial Semi-Final.

The Wolfpack swept the Prince Albert Venice House Raiders in two games March 4.

Game one of the SBAAHL North Division Provincial Semi -Final will begin Saturday March 15 at Warman’s Legends Centre. Game time is 2:15 p.m.
