Firefighters spray water mixed with foam on burning bales at a dairy farm a short distance southwest of Dalmeny on Friday, October 24
Strong winds fan fire on farm near Dalmeny By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Firefighters from Dalmeny, Langham and Martensville worked together to battle a large fire on a dairy farm southwest of Dalmeny. The fire, which began about 2:00 p.m. on Friday, October 24, spread rapidly along a line of large round bales stored near a concrete structure. Fanned by a brisk northwestly wind gust-
ing over 50 kilometers per hour, the fire also took hold in dry cattails and grass in a nearby field. The fire originally threatened several buildings in the vicinity of the burning bales, but firefighters were able to contain the blaze and prevent any damage to the buildings. However, strong winds, thick smoke and a shortage of water also made it difficult for firefighters to get the fire under
control. Dalmeny and Langham fire departments responded to the initial call, and Martensville was called in a short time later. Several crews applied water mixed with foam onto the bales, while other firefighters attacked the grass fire from the south and east. Front end loaders and skid steers were also used to move stored bales before they could ignite. The fire was virtually extin-

ting year for call volumes for our paramedics,” said Davies. “Our call volume has increased six per cent, or 1,000 more ambulance calls in a six-month period.” “We are estimating our annual call volume to be 2,000 calls in 2014, compared to 2013” he said. “These projections would have paramedics responding to over 29,000 calls in a 12-month period, which is the most in our 39 years of EMS. This is a major stress on the paramedics who are responding to these calls.”
guished by 5:30 p.m. although a crew of firefighters remained on the scene for several hours putting out hot spots. The fire comes two days after Dalmeny and Langham Fire Departments responded to a fire at a farm in the RM of Corman Park west of Saskatoon. No one was injured in that incident and no serious structural damage occurred.

A paramedic supervisor with MD Ambulance was assaulted in Saskatoon on Saturday, October 25. MD Ambulance spokesperson Troy Davies said the paramedic supervisor was on the scene of a call for an intoxicated female lying on a street. “While treating the patient, our supervisor witnessed a fight,” said Davies. “After breaking it up, he was blindsided with a punch. He was treated for a bleeding nose and xrays were negative.” A female was arrested at the scene by Saskatoon Police. Davies said MD Ambulance paramedics were extremely busy over the weekend, responding to 200 calls, most of which were alcohol-related.

Two new councilors elected in Corman Park By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Michelle Chuhaniuk and Randall Rooke will be sworn in as new councilors at the RM of Corman Park’s November 3 Council meeting after winning the majority of votes in an election held Wednesday, October 22. The official results of the election were released on Friday, October 24 by the RM office. Chuhaniuk will represent Division 2, replacing incumbent Councilor Sherry Mervold. Chuhaniuk received 130 votes, while Mervold placed second with 94 votes. Candidate Colleen Norrish finished in third place with 14 votes. In Division 4, Randall Rooke won with an overwhelming majority, garnering 218 votes compared to 70 votes for David Greenwood, the other candidate contesting the election in that division. Former Division 4 Councilor Gordon Gunoff did not seek re-election. Chuhaniuk said she was pleased with the voter turnout and said road infrastructure, taxes, development and working with land owners who want to subdivide their property will be big issues to tackle in Division 2. It will be a learning curve, but Chuhaniuk said she is looking forward to the experience of being at the council table. “In my previous career as a school administrator I feel there is very much a parallel between the two jobs,” she said. “In that they are about meeting people, solving problems together and reporting back, which is just good governance.” Rooke said he never anticipated how much work went into running for the RM of Corman Park Council, but it was a very rewarding experience discovering what issues ratepayers in his division are passionate about. He anticipates there will be a bit of an orientation period to become accustomed to the duties of the job, but he is confident that his work on many boards over the years will prepare him for helping to resolve issues for ratepayers. With the council in the middle of formulating next year’s budget, Rooke said he is curious to find out what the budget will be for road issues in both the northern and southern parts of Division 4, which he feels need attention. As a lawyer with many years of experience, he also hopes council will take advantage of his knowledge when it comes to making decisions on the legal aspects of certain issues in the municipality. RM of Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood said she is looking forward to working with the new councilors. “I want to thank Sherry and Gordon for all the good work they did while on council,” said Harwood. “Being on council is a big responsibility, and I feel we have a good council moving forward as we tackle the many issues we’re dealing with as a municipality. I look forward to working with all the councilors,” Division 8 incumbent councilors Bas Froese-Kooijenga and Division 8 incumbent councilor Wendy Trask were both reelected by acclamation earlier this month and will also be sworn in at the November 3 council meeting.

Municipalities commit to drafting regional plan ensure that all five municipalities benefit equally from the expected growth. The budget for the P4G Regional Plan project is $926,000, which includes the cost of the O2 contact and a dedicated project manager. Each of the municipalities will contribute to the cost on a per-capita basis. Fallon said while the plan is being developed, growth will continue. An “interim development strategy” is slated to be completed by the spring of 2015. Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood said hiring an experienced consulting firm to guide the planning process is a “major step forward.” Discussions among elected and administrative representatives from all five municipalities have been ongoing for the past two years, she noted. But now, having a deadline and concrete objectives will provide an added impetus. “The development of this plan will provide for continued, healthy and planned growth and prosperity while respecting the needs of all the P4G partners,” said Harwood. “We want to ensure that the RM of Corman Park, as well as all of our partners, can enjoy and benefit from balanced and fair economic growth.” Harwood said she is hopeful the process will “expedite some
By TERRY PUGH

A plan designed to steer longterm economic and population growth in the Saskatoon Region is expected to be completed by mid-2016. The Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) committee announced the next phase of the planning process on Thursday, October 23 at the RM of Corman Park office in Saskatoon. The P4G group, which includes the cities of Saskatoon, Warman, and Martensville; the Rural Municipality of Corman Park; and the Town of Osler, has contracted with O2 Planning and Design Inc. (O2) to develop the regional plan. Alex Fallon, President and CEO of the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA), is the independent chair of the P4G Regional Oversight Committee. He said the regional plan is aimed at guiding land use, transportation, servicing, infrastructure and economic development in the fast-growing area north of Saskatoon. Fallon said the focus area grew by four per cent in the past year, and could reach a combined population of 500,000 within 20 years. The ultimate aim of the regional plan, said Fallon, is to

of the decisions” that need to be made by the provincial government as well. “The final route of the perimeter highway is something we need clarity on,” she said. Saskatoon Mayor Don Atchison said while Saskatoon is the big player at the table, that doesn’t mean it has the final say. “We’re part of the overall region,” said Atchison. “We’re looking at a potential city of over one million people in the long run. Everyone has to plan this together so we don’t end up with confrontations. If we all know the direction we need to go in the future, doesn’t it make life a lot easier for everyone if we have certainty? Everyone wants growth, prosperity and jobs. This is a major step forward to have all five municipalities in the region working together.” Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said the regional partnership is a logical extension of cooperative endeavours that have worked in the past. “We recognized early on the value of partnerships such as the Legends Centre, the Legends Golf Course, the Middle Years School and the Warman High School,” said Spence. “They’re the key to realizing our vision for sustainable growth. This plan will help lay
the road map for the future and guide our decisions as we continue to grow as a region.” Martensville Mayor Kent Muench said bringing in the O2 consulting firm “provides the piece that was missing” from the planning process so far. “They’re an innovative firm that can really guide us in this area of regional planning,” said Muench. “The City of Martensville is part of the region, and our future is tied to the prosperity and growth of the region as a whole.” Osler Mayor Ben Buhler said while his community is the smallest municipality in the partnership, it has an equal voice in the process. “It’s nice to be in the same sandbox,” said Buhler. “Now we can organize the sandbox a bit better. I think each individual community still has its specific needs, but it’s nice to know that we can help each other and share infrastructure needs as part of the big picture. Some big projects need to be planned early on if they’re going to succeed.” Buhler, who is also chair of the Opimihaw Creek Watershed Association, said drainage is a big factor in determining future development in the area.

Financial literacy, labour shortage among issues being tackled by Chamber of Commerce By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce (SCC) wants to see students across the province better prepared to meet the challenges of a changing workplace. SCC Chief Executive Officer Steve McLellan says there is a serious labour shortage in the province for all types of workers, but particularly in those fields that need highly-skilled, tchnical employees. “It’s a big problem in this province,” said McLellan during an interview in Warman on Wednesday, October 22. “The labour shortage is a very real issue. We have a challenge, both from a skills-specific perspective, and also for what we deem to be unskilled labour. We need high-tech welders and we need lowtech sandwich makers, and we simply don’t have enough people to fill those jobs.” McLellan said while teachers in the province are doing an excellent job, there is a shortage of resources which is creating shortfalls in the education system. “In K-12 education, we’re not doing as well as we could be,” said McLellan. “So for us to prepare our workforce; our employees and our business owners for the next geneation, we have to make sure that when a kid starts school, they’ve got all the resources they need. They need to have those advantages because the rest of the world is quickly leap-frogging us in educational achievement, and we can’t allow that to happen.” McLellan said simple things like internet access is lacking in many schools, not just in northern parts of the province, but also in major centres in the southern region. “Internet access isn’t a privilege anymore,” he said. “It’s an absolute must-have for a student to do research.” McLellan said another basic skill that students need is “financial literacy.” “Lots of young people get out of school and they sudden-
ly find themselves with serious financial problems because they don’t know how to balance a chequebook or keep track of their finances,” he said. “It’s not just a business skill. It’s a personal skill that everyone needs.” McLellan was in Warman to address the annual general meeting of the Warman Chamber of Commerce, which is celebrating its first anniversary. McLellan said the provincial business advocacy organization is made up of 65 local chambers, but is also a direct-membership group for individual businesses. The provincial chamber of commerce lobbies the provincial government on a variety of issues, including taxation.
martensville hometown heroes Les and Scott Landru of Martensville are presented with the CTV Saskatoon Hometown Hero award by Martensville Mayor Kent Muench (right) during the Martensville City Council meeting on Tuesday, October 21. The award was presented in recognition of the couple’s dedication to planting and maintaining the flowerbeds in several public spaces within the city, most notably along Centennial Drive, Martensville’s main commercial artery.
Martensville Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce CEO Steve McLellan “Saskatchewan is in a great position economically right now, but there are still things that need to be done in a variety of areas,” said McLellan. “We are encouraging the provincial government to adopt changes to the taxation system that put workers and businesses on a more level playing field with Alberta, and that doesn’t penalize people on property taxes.” The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce is gearing up for a series of round table discussions on policy, with a meeting in Saskatoon on Wednesday, November 6.

Highway 305 now open nector between these two growing communities,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. The new highway replaces the existing Highway 305, a narrow, thin-surface membrane winding road which was originally constructed during the 1930s. The new highway is built to handle primary weights, has full-width shoulders and a grade designed to withstand potential flooding. The highway project also included construction on 10th Avenue in Martensville from its junction with Lutheran Road to its junction with Main Street. “Highway 305 creates a much safer and more efficient route between our two cities, benefiting residents and businesses alike,” Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said. “This investment in core infrastructure by the provincial government is in line with the tremendous amount of growth our region is experiencing, and allows us to continue to generate new economic development opportunities and job creation in the area.” The Ministry of Highwayswill begin upgrading a section of Highway 305 west of Highway 12 to the junction with the Dalmeny Access Road on November 1. The $12.5 million project involves upgrading 6.6 kilometers of the existing highway.

PROPOSED UTILITY RATE ADJUSTMENT NOTICE Please be advised that the City of Warman is proposing a Utility Rate Adjustment effective January 1, 2015 and will be hosting an open house on Thursday November 6th, 2014 at the Brian King Centre from 6:00p.m to 8:00p.m. to answer any questions or concerns residents or business owners might have. This adjustment will encompass: • Providing the residents of Warman with a financially sustainable utility system that is not subsidized through taxation • Planning for future infrastructure replacement and adequately funding reserves to avoid future infrastructure deficits The proposed utility rate adjustment will be phased in over 4 years, with a 10%, 10%, 10% and 5% municipal increase in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively. NOTE that this increase will be in addition to any increases the City receives from Sask Water, however, the combined municipal and Sask Water increase will be capped at 15% in 2015 and revisited annually. Currently, the provincial average for Sask Water customers consuming 3,000 gallon/month is $69.38, which is 33.86% higher than the City of Warman bill of $51.83. This rate adjustment will maintain the City of Warman rate at substantially below the provincial average, while ensuring a sustainable utility system.

Regional plan to involve public consultation Doug Olson, Prsident and CEO of O2 Planning and Design, said while having a regional plan, complete with cost estimates and technical data, ready by the summer of 2016 is ambitious, it’s not unrealistic. His company, he noted, has done similar projects in southern Alberta, including the Calgary Metropolitan Plan and the Lethbridge Growth Management Strategy. “These are large, complex projects but we love them because they’re interesting and challenging and do-able,” said Olson. “They’re also at a scale that is critically important. There are probably few scales more important for planning than the city region. “From a strategic level the stakes are very high. A plan has to make sense economically, environmentally and socially. Those are the three pillars of sustainability.” Olson said the costs of public infrastructure are enormous, so mistakes are costly. Working at the city-region scale offers an ideal opportunity to ensure a region develops in a sustainable way over the long term, he added. Olson said the process will involve consultations with the public in a variety of ways. He noted the land use plan will use “highly-visual” computer technology to provide people with a clear picture of what proposals will look like. “These are complex problems,” said Olson. “But if you break them down into their constituent parts, you have a process that is logical and rational and transparent. It’s a process that involves the input of thousands of people.” Olson said during the planning process, development is going to be encouraged. “There will be some interim assessments of key strategic issues that are time-sensitive so as not to slow down growth,” said Olson. “The intent of this plan is to accommodate growth in a way that meets the objectives of multiple parties across multiple sectors.”

Riding group looks to upgrade park By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Corman Park Horse Riders Association (CPHRA) is hoping $32,000 from the RM of Corman Park’s Municipal Reserve Fund will make it easier to apply upgrades at Grasswood Horse Park south of Saskatoon. At the RM of Corman Park’s October 6 Council Meeting, Division 8 Councilor Wendy Trask introduced a motion to give the CPHRA $32,000, which
the group will put towards upcoming projects including leveling and increasing the arena size, buying and installing five commercial grade picnic tables, a storage facility, judges stand, bleachers as well as water and electricity. The Municipal Reserve Fund is just under $600,000. The CPHRA currently has 54 members, who each pay a $10 membership fee. The park officially opened this past sum-
The association has fundraised and also benefitted from a small portion of money from a local farmer who cuts hay and gives the association 1/3 of the cost for the bales, which the association has put towards maintenance upgrades including mowing, road tilling and harrowing. Charlene Dalen-Brown, president of the CPHRA said alfalfa in the park is the association’s biggest issue right now. “I don’t know if you have tried to walk through alfalfa but once it gets to a certain
mer and has offered members and non-members organized events such as a two day Cowboy Challenge Clinic, a Western Versauge Clinic (gymkhana) and buggy rides for kids. The main goal of the park is to provide a place to ride. Throughout the summer directors of the association and members have helped to plant trees, remove tree clumps and install fencing surrounding the park.
height of eight inches tall and it is a thick field you are stumbling the entire time because it acts as little traps. The horses are feeling that too. Plus it is a huge mosquito breeding area,” said Dalen-Brown. Judy Harwood, Reeve of the RM of Corman Park said that if mowers are hauled off to cut the alfalfa, the RM is going to be behind in getting work done in the RM, which means they have to be mindful that the RM is not pulling people away from those jobs. The RM will continue to monitor the situation.

Critical rural health needs neglected
More MRIs a good thing By Colin Craig Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation Saskatchewan’s Premier Brad Wall mused recently about a health reform idea that is good for both patients and taxpayers. In fact, it’s an idea that more provinces should pursue. Specifically, Wall mused on Twitter about the idea of allowing private clinics in Saskatchewan to sell MRI scans to the public just like Alberta currently allows. Thus, if you’re a Saskatchewan resident and you need a scan of, say, your shoulder, you could choose to go on the government’s waiting list and receive a scan at no cost or choose to pay out of pocket and receive a scan sooner at a private clinic. No matter how you cut it, giving patients more choice just makes sense. Consider it from a patient’s perspective. If you’re a Saskatchewan patient and decide to go on a waiting list for an MRI, there are likely going to be several people ahead of you. In fact, the Fraser Institute reported Sask MRI wait times were eight weeks on average in 2013. But if the government allows private clinics in Saskatchewan to offer the service, some of those people on the waiting list ahead of you will undoubtedly decide to pay out of pocket and drop off the government’s waiting list. Thus, you could get bumped up and receive the service faster. Alternatively, if you were thinking of leaving the province to pay for an MRI scan in Alberta or the United States, Premier Wall’s idea would mean you could receive the scan in the comfort of your own province. Thus, it would be cheaper for you as you could probably avoid hotel bills, airplane tickets and other incidentals that come from leaving the province for health care. From an economic perspective, Wall’s idea is long overdue. Every Saskatchewan taxpayer that currently leaves the province and pays for health care in other jurisdictions is actually taking money out of the Sask economy. One can hardly blame them though, if you’ve got the money and can receive quicker for your pain, why wouldn’t you? The other benefit from allowing private MRIs is the fact that Saskatchewan could attract patients and their cash from other provinces such as Manitoba; a province that doesn’t allow private MRIs. In fact, a Manitoba taxpayer recently told the Canadian Taxpayers Federation about going to the U.S. and paying for an MRI in Minneapolis. His reason for doing so: he was in pain and the wait list was too long in Winnipeg. Suddenly, Saskatchewan would become a convenient location for many other Manitobans. Obviously critics won’t like Premier Wall’s idea. They’ll fire up the fear-mongering machine and suggest the sky will fall if Wall’s idea comes to fruition. After all, Wall’s idea takes some power away from the hands of government unions, bureaucrats and ideological dinosaurs, and gives it to patients. The fact is, Saskatchewan has had private companies performing CT scans and knee surgery for several years now and the sky hasn’t fallen. Nor has the sky fallen in the education system where parents can choose to send their kids to public schools or pay for private schools. Hopefully Premier Wall proceeds with his idea. It’ll be good for patients suffering in pain as well as taxpayers.
Admittedly, meeting the needs of every town or smaller city is no easy task.

Provincial Politics
It will be a task made that much harder if a prolonged dip in oil prices means a decrease in Saskatchewan Party government revenue. Still, one would think, this government would recognize the short comings in rural health delivery and to address them. This takes us first to the puzzling case in Kindersley, where residents are now clamouring for a long-term health care plan for the area. “It seems that over the last decade or so, the amount of support and resources put towards our hospital ... has been, in our opinion, a little bit lacking,” Tom Geiger, director of the Kindersley and District Health and Wellness Foundation Inc., told Rawlco Radio. Why there would be a lack of support in Kindersley is interesting. It is the hot bed of the oil boom and has been represented for years by Economy Minister Bill Boyd, clearly, the second-most powerful individual in the Sask. Party government. Moreover, Geiger said his community isn’t looking for a $100 million replacement for its 50-year old hospital; just upgrades that he believes would only cost a few million dollars. Even with the booming oil industry that sees a lot of young families in the area, there is no obstetrics in the Heartland Health District. Expecting mothers must travel 200 kilometres east to Saskatoon or even Medicine Hat.
“We used to have about 200 births here a year,” said Geiger, who was among those who helped draft a letter to the Health Ministry requesting a vision and improved core services for the area. Meanwhile the health district says it wants a more indepth survey of its residents to better understand needs. Perhaps even less surprising than issues of health service provided to one specific community is the frequency of health delivery complaints throughout rural Saskatchewan. Take the recent story from the Health Sciences Association of Saskatchewan union that has asked the Provincial Auditor to review ambulance services throughout rural Saskatchewan to get a fairer assessment of the needs. At a recent press conference in Saskatoon, HSAS President Karen Wasylenko said some rural health regions aren’t filling
job vacancies in order to save money. Some 54 positions were vacant in July, with the Cypress Health Region having the highest vacancy rates that included one of its two full-time positions and four of its 10 part-time positions unfilled. Yes, the Cypress Hills region, the first riding to elect a Sask. Party MLA (Wayne Elhard, who continues to represent Cypress Hills). And, yes, we are taking about ambulance services that rural MLAs would know full well is still a priority for rural people. Admittedly, these complaints are coming from a union that likely has few qualms about making a conservative-minded government look bad at the best of times. By no small coincidence, the union has been without a contract and in a legal strike position since August 2013. But consider one of their complaints for a moment:
Wasylenko said posted positions are described as “permanent-casual jobs” that require paramedics on call for 100 hours per week at $5 an hour with no benefits. Wages do increase to between $25.17 and $30.78 per hour when a call does come in. However, the infrequency of calls may make it less than lucrative and hourly-based demands may make other jobs impossible. So what is the government response? Well, they say they have studied the problem and are moving to address the issue. It’s passing strange that with all the rural MLAs coming from the Sask. Party caucus and with a rural and remote health minister, such issues haven’t already been addressed. It appears this Sask. Party government is not doing great on some critical rural health concerns.
Reader Opinions
Thanks to everybody who helped fix our car Thank You to Good Samaritans One thing for sure, the Warman and Martensville area has many kind people. My girlfriend and I had hit a large porcupine driving from Wetaskiwin Alberta (near Edmonton) late Friday night to visit my sister and her family in Osler. At first the car seemed relatively undamaged. But driving home, things started falling apart under the hood. The engine fan fell through to the ground, the casing crumbled to almost nothing and the radiator fell through to the point it was also just about dragging.
“Whoa!” was the first reaction from everyone who looked under the hood. So there we were, stranded on a township road out of Warmen past Hwy 305. One kind part time mechanic from Martensville had already helped us so the fan belt wouldn’t rub against an errant piece of loose casing at the Tim Hortons. Again, things seemed fine, until everything fell through on that gravel road out of town. The first car to pass us stopped. It was a couple. The man had a quick look under the hood. “Whoa!” Now I am a mechanical idi-

ot who barely knows one end of the hammer from the other. My girlfriend Pam knows far more about cars than I do. She and this gentleman figured the situation might be salvageable. “I’ll take my wife home and come back with some tools. If this doesn’t work I’ll be glad to drive you back to your family in Osler.” Off he went, and a little while later he was back. In the meantime a young couple in a white pickup stopped. “Need some help?’ the young man asked as he got out of his truck. He took a look under the hood. “Whoa!”

he gasped. “What happened to you?” “I think we’re OK”, said Pam.” Another guy is coming back with some tools to help us. We’re gonna take off the rest of the fan, prop up the radiator reservoir and keep it in place with some wire.” We’re gonna WHAT??? Even the young man in the pickup rubbed his chin at that one. But after being assured we were fine, he wished us well and they left. Another fellow in a light grey Toyota offered to help, but we again said we were OK.

To make a long story short, it worked. The highway driving kept enough air going through to keep the engine from overheating and we made it home to Wetaskiwin very late Sunday night and Pam’s son, Kevin, did a marvelous job in totally rebuilding and repairing our old

Shooting on Parliament Hill a No easy answers to new terrorism ‘surreal’ scenario, says MP Vellacott
Like the thousands before and after me, Canadians from every walk of life and from every corner of this blessed land have been privileged to walk the historic halls on Parliament Hill. Everyone, including myself, has their own memories of their respective visits to the various buildings on the Hill, including Centre Block where most of the activity takes place. Whether it TerryJENSON was having a quick lunch in Publisher the Parliamentary Cafeteria with then-MP Carol Skelton or touring the office of current Member of Parliament for Blackstrap Lynne Yelich, I vividly recall almost every detail. One of the things I most remember about that visit nearly ten years ago, was the sense of patriotism and national pride I felt as we stepped onto the Hill and into Centre Block. It was almost as if someone had transplanted a maple leaf in place of my heart. Here I was standing on the very steps where many political types over the years have been captured on film and video and doing press interviews. It was more than difficult to take everything in given the limited time our delegation had that day. I simply didn’t want to leave until I had seen every corner of every building on Parliament Hill. Fast forward a decade and it’s hard not to feel the pangs of heartache following the cowardly shooting death of Nathan Cirillo, a reservist soldier whose duty that day was to ceremoniously guard the National War Memorial. A flood of memories came rushing back as images of the exact places where I had walked that sunny summer day 10 years ago flashed in rapid succession on my television screen. My heart broke to pieces as bystanders, police and medical personnel feverishly worked to try and save Cirillo’s life and secure the area from the possibility of further attacks. Anyone that has been to Parliament Hill post-911 can attest that while security is stringent and visible, there is also a sense of peace despite the political wars that rage inside the four walls of the House of Commons. On our visit we found dozens of tourist-types with cameras snapping pictures just like us. We also saw a couple of peaceful demonstrations by small groups of activists looking to further their cause. Then there were those like the middle-aged woman sprawled out on the front lawn reading a book while joggers and cyclists went by on their daily routine. There was absolutely no threat of violence, either real or perceived. The events of October 22 in our nation’s capital has changed all of that – not only in Ottawa but across our vast, normally peaceful land. While nothing will compare to what the world witnessed on September 11, 2001 when terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, there are some parallels to be drawn with the shootings in Ottawa last week. Both incidents happened in national capitals. Lives of innocent people were senselessly taken. Finally, both tragedies were the result of radical extremists looking to strike fear and instill their twisted beliefs into the Western world. The attacks on September 11 were planned and carried out by multiple terrorists associated with Al Qaeda. The Ottawa shooting – as does the incident in Quebec only a few days earlier where warrant officer Patrice Vincent was run down by a vehicle – appears to be carried out by individuals acting alone. So, what does this say about the “new world” of terrorism? The short answer is “a lot”. Our society is caught in a rather peculiar balancing act of providing free speech, thought and expression while also striving to provide basic protections from harm. The cowards who attacked Cirillo and Vincent were born and raised in Canada. But, somewhere along the line and for whatever reason, they bought in to what Islamic radicalists half a world away were selling. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service tracks terror suspects and the work they do to prevent large-scale terrorist attacks is commendable. But, when it comes to preventing lone individuals from carrying out heinous murders against innocent, unarmed people, CSIS lacks the legislated power to do much other than react after the fact. Canadians – like other nationalities around the world who are targets for radical Islamic extremists – now have a choice to make. Do we empower law enforcement through legislation to sweep the known scum off the streets to prevent what could be an even deadlier set of events than what we saw with the deaths of Cirillo and Vincent? Or do Canadians maintain the freedoms our previous generations so bravely fought for and hope that attacks on our own soil simply don’t happen again? It’s a debate that could last forever as there is no right or wrong answer. But, there is one thing we as Canadians must pay attention to in the coming days, weeks and years. If the relatively few Canadian radical Islamic followers with an agenda to inflict harm or kill can be successful on such a brightly lit stage as Parliament Hill, it can also likely happen without warning in almost any corner of our country. It is time to stand up to terrorists and protect the freedom previous generations of Canadians fought and died for.

The quick, decisive action by the Sergeant-at-Arms on Parliament Hill likely saved many lives on Wednesday, October 22, according to Saskatoon-Wanuskewin Member of Parliament Maurice Vellacott. Kevin Michael Vickers, a 29-year veteran of the RCMP who has served as director of security operations at the House of Commons since 2005, shot and killed a masked gunman in the corridor of the main parliamentary building. The shooting of the gunman happened a short time after a Canadian soldier was gunned down at the Canadian War Memorial across the street from the Parliament Buildings by another masked assailant. Vellacott was one floor below where the shooting took place. In an interview, he described hearing the initial volley of gunfire.. “We heard several loud bangs, and then realized this wasn’t an earthquake or a drill, this was serious business,” said Vellacott. “It was
very surreal, almost apocalyptic. We had no real frame of reference. I’ve been on Parliament Hill for nearly 18 years and never experienced anything like this. There was a big crowd of people that were being hustled as quickly as possible to safety. They kept moving us further and further back.” The MP was escorting a group of 31 Ottawa-area homeschool students and parents on a tour of Parliament Hill around 10 a.m. when they heard shots being fired on the
floor above. Some of the students who had passed through secruity were taken to a secure lockdown in the East Block building, while others who had not yet gone through the seurity gates were hustled to safety away from the Parliament Buildings. Vellacott was among those who were moved several blocks away. Vellacott said everyone in the tour group was safe. “That was my main concern at the time,” he said. “The kids ranged in age from 7 years to 16. I’m sure it was
traumatic for all of them.” The coordinator of the student tour group was outside the Parliament Buildings, just before the shootiing occured. She apparently witnessed the gunman entering the second floor of the Centre Block. She was “whisked away to police headequarters” shortly after the shooting. “I haven’t had a chance to reconnect with her because the situation here is still in a lockdown mode, but she’ll help the police get a better picture of the situation at the time,” said Vellacott.
CANADA MOURNS TERRORIST ATTACK HITS HOME
Former Canadian Forces member saddened by Ottawa tragedy By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The repercussions following the tragedy that unfolded in Ottawa last Wednesday when Cpl Nathan Cirillo was gunned down at the National War Memorial will continue to be felt be Canadians across the country, but more so by family, friends of Cirillo and members of the Canadian Forces. Shortly after the events on that day all Canadian Forces bases were either shut down or asking for identification for motorists on entrance.. At 17-Wing Dundurn located about 20 minutes south of Saskatoon there were signs leading into the base entrance warning that motorists will be stopped and identification will be requested prior to entering the base. When the Clark’s Crossing Gazette asked military officials at the base entrance about the increased military presence officials would only say that increased Forces protection measures were based on recent events that fit the national threat and would remain in place until the investigation by Ottawa Police was complete. At the time Ottawa Police were still looking for more than one shooter. Eventually, further investigation revealed that only one shooter was involved. A security measure was also asked of the press that all military name tags and faces of soldiers be blurred in photos as to not identify military officials for news coverage of the event. For anyone who has ever served in any branch of the Canadian Forces, family is a word that comes up often

A soldier talks with military police last Wednesday at the entrance of 17-Wing Dundurn. Security measures at all Canadian Forces bases were escalated following a shooting at the National War Memorial and on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. when speaking about a fellow soldier. Ken Snell currently serves as the Assistant Deputy Commissioner of the province’s EMO. Snell worked as a civilian at 17-Wing Dundurn and served eight years under the rank of Corporal in the Royal Canadian Regiment and spent two years in the Canadian Airforce, stationed in CFB Moosejaw, Petawawa. He also served overseas in Cyprus and Germany. When he heard of the shooting of Cirillo last Wednesday, he said he experienced a range of emotions. “I was sickened, disgusted, hurt, upset, and I didn’t think anything like that would happen in Canada,” said Snell. “When I was in (the armed forces) we were peace keepers. We served in different places and assisted people as best we
could.” Snell said when he served overseas there were times when his life felt threatened, but it was part of the job. What happened to Cirillo was much more tragic. “When I was in Cyprus there was instances that got diffused before they got deadly. Our observation posts were shot at, but we never saw anything like this,” said Snell. “This was cold blooded. It wasn’t peace keeping or trying to protect people. It was a person standing guard at a cenotaph.” It has been years since Snell served but like every Canadian that still feels a connection to this tragedy and especially for a former Canadian Forces member there is always that military family connection that makes it even more profound. “I think every Canadian
feels connected to this tragedy. I have the upmost respect for the Armed Forces,” said Snell. “They serve the country to the best of their ability and put their lives on the line when they have to go to countries like Afghanistan or Iraq.” Snell said he hopes it doesn’t change the way Canadians choose to live their lives or create a way of thinking were everyone is suspicious of each other. “I don’t think (an attack) would ever happen in Saskatchewan, but you never know. These people are radical, they don’t think of life they way we do and they like to make a statement,” said Snell. “I don’t know how radical this guy was but it doesn’t matter if it is a home grown terrorist or someone from another country. It’s definitely sad.”

Traumatic experience leaves MPs shaken, but with renewed confidence in democratic values By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
There needs to be a “reassessment” of the security protocols on Parliament Hill in the wake of last week’s amateurish but bloody attack by a lone terrorist gunman in Ottawa, according to a Saskatchewan Member of Parliament. Rob Clarke, who represents the riding of DesnetheMissinipe-Churchill River, says the murder of a Canadian soldier at the national war memorial in downtown Ottawa and the subsequent terrifying incident in the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings shows that these types of situations can happen anywhere, anytime. “Canadians are very angry that someone was able to actually attack a Canadian institution that symboliizes democracy,” said Clarke in an interview from his office in Ottawa on Thursday, October 23, the day after the shootings. “This was an attack on the heart of the country in may ways.” Clarke and his colleagues in the Conservative Party were holding their weekly caucus meeting in the Reading Room of the Centre Block building when 32-year-old Michael Zehaf-Bibeau stormed into the main doors and down the corridor. The gunman was killed by Parliamentary security forces before he was able to shoot anyone, but Parliament was locked down for several hours following the gun battle as police and security forces tried to determine whether he acted alone or whether other gunmen were in the area. The Conservative MPs,
like their NDP colleagues who were also meeting in another room in the same building, were locked in the meeting room for many hours. Desks and chairs were piled up in front of the doors to prevent potential attackers from gaining entry. It was a traumatic experience, but Clarke had been through similar events in the past when he was an RCMP officer.
Clarke was on duty at the Spiritwood RCMP detachment when Constables Robin Cameron and Marc Bourdage, two of his colleagues were shot and killed by a gunman in 2007. He said the sound of the gunshots outside the caucus room sparked an immediate, involuntary reaction. “We heard two rounds going off, and I wasn’t sure, but it sounded like it might have
CANADA MOURNS TERRORIST ATTACK HITS HOME
been a shotgun,” said Clarke. “Then I heard about 17 to 22 rounds from a 9 millimeter semi-automatic. I know what that sounds like. It’s a regulation police-issue weapon.” Clarke said his police training kicked in. “My first thought was to secure the room, keep calm and protect my colleagues,” he said. “We have other MPs with police experience too, 13 of them in fact, and everybody had the same instincts.” Clarke said the security forces on Parliament Hill did a “phenomenal job” to isolate and take out the gunman while protecting innocent people. “They’re well-trained, they’re well-armed,” he said. “They did what they had to do.” Still, he added, the fact that a terrorist was able to get as far as he did means the system can be improved. Clarke said he is particularly saddened by the murder of Corporal Nathan Cirillo, the soldier who was shot by Zehaf-Bibeau while on guard duty at the national war memorial. “I can’t fathom what that family is going through,” he said. “My thoughts and prayers are with the family.” Clarke said the “radicalization” of misguided young Canadians and the threat they may pose to the country adds a whole new dimension to the war on terror. “There has to be a balance between protection and civil liberties,” he said. “But I think it’s obvious that we need legislation that gives police the powers and tools they need during a crisis so they can do proper investigations, and be able to protect Canadians as a whole.”

A Canadian Islamic organization has spoken out against the terrorist attack in Ottawa last week. In a news release issued shortly after the event, an Islamic organization known as Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at issued the following statement: “The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Canada categorically and unequivocally condemns this morning’s terror attacks on the Canadian Parliament and the National War Memorial as well as on the Canadian
soldiers in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. These acts of terror have no basis in any religion. Our thoughts and prayers are with the deceased and we offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the soldier who gave his life in today’s attacks in Ottawa as well as the soldier who was killed earlier in the week in St-Jeansur-Richelieu, Quebec. “As Canadians, we pray that God Almighty protect all Canadians from harm and that these terrorists are brought to jus-

The Khalifa of Islam, Mirza Masroor Ahmad, has stated that Ahmadi Muslims should become Ambassadors of peace, and continue to influence others with their loyalty to their nation, love for mankind, and service to humanity.

Physician provided care to community for over two decades and are able to transfer their records with a minimum of cost and delay. Dr. KaramDad says he’ll miss Martensville because family medicine is a specialty that allows a physician to become very connected to the community. “I’ve seen so many people over the years. A lot of people have had very serious illnesses and injuries. Some have been very close to death. And being able to treat them and then see them regain their health and recover and lead normal lives again, that is just so rewarding.”

Dr. Choudhary KaramDad sues,” Dr. KaramDad said. “It’s not because I don’t like working here. I would like to have someone take over the practice and continue the patient care.” Shonda Pearson, who has worked in Dr. KaramDad’s clinic for almost a decade as his Medical Office Assistant, says the community will miss him. “He’s a wonderful person to work with,” she said. “I’ve really come to admire him. He’ll be missed in this community because he’s almost a fixture here. He’s done so much for people over the years. He used to do house calls, and he still makes weekly rounds to the Warman Mennonite Special Care Home to take care of the elderly people there.” Pearson said Dr. KaramDad genuinely cares about his patients. “He’s not just a doctor,” she said. “He’s someone you can talk to and confide in. I’ve heard a lot of patients call him a great friend.” A come-and-go tea is scheduled for Friday, December 12 at the Martensville Medical Clinic to allow patients an opportunity to say farewell to the family doctor before he and his wife move to Calgary. While the future of the Martensville Medical Clinic is currently uncertain, the community will continue to have medical practioners. A new integrated medical clinic, Martensville Collective Health and Wellness, is slated to open in mid-November by Dr. Allison Adamus and physiotherapist Trevor Adamus.

Hello from your Mayor and Council, Welcome Autumn and what a Fall it has been; warm, sunny and beautiful. This great weather has allowed the Ministry of Highways to further the 305 project (hopefully to a point of use later this fall). The City looks forward to a second highway 11 entrance into Warman. This entrance should ease the congestion we are currently experiencing. The mild weather is also allowing the City to further our own road infrastructure throughout Warman. The new Memorial Gardens Cemetery is progressing with landscaping and signage making this new resting place much more inviting to visitors. Prairie Oasis Park is moving ahead very nicely. With a partnership with Great Plains College, a lot of ground work is being done. Once again showing the benefits of partnerships. If you want to look at what is in store for this fantastic new park project a link is below. View the Prairie Oasis Park Design: http://www.warman.ca/DocumentCenter/View/468

We thank Elmer for his dedication to this committee and the many other volunteer positions he has served in this community he lives and loves whole heartily. We also thank Elmer’s wife, Nettie for her support and her own volunteer hours that these two community minded residents have served so graciously.
Kidsport was the beneficiary of the proceeds raised from the tradeshow and pancake breakfast totaling over $2300.00. Way to go Warman! What great support to our community businesses and charity.
Smoking Bylaw October was an exciting month for the City of Warman, in collaboration with the City of Martensville, we are pleased to announce the adoption of a new SMOKING REGULA-TION BYLAW. Which will be implemented on January 1st, 2015. Our communities have made a progressive move and have made history by becoming the first communities in the province to ban smoking from park playgrounds and sports fields. Smoking and the use of e-cigarettes is prohibited on sports fields and the bleach-ers/spectator area accompanying these fields and Parks where there is a play structure and any city owned, operated or leased facility. Outdoor patios and sidewalk cafes that offer food and beverage service have also been included in the list. Warman wants to promote a healthy environment for its residents and by adopting the smoking regulations we are hoping to lead by example and are excited that we are moving forward in partnership with Martensville.

Planning departments in Warman, Martensville add new personnel By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The building boom in Warman and Martensville has created a huge workload for the planning departments in both communiites, as requests for building permits and development proposals are flooding in. That’s the big reason both cities have hired an additional planner. Chris Hilash was recently appointed to the position of Community Planner for the City of Warman, and Ty Czerniak was hired as Planning and Community Develompent Officer in Martensville. Both were brought on board to help residents and developers navigate the regulations and ensure new buildings and additions meet appropriate zoning requirements. But they’re also called on to lend
their expertise to new development proposals and municipal projects. Hilash is originally from Saskatoon. He graduated from the Regional Urban PLanning Program at the University of Saskatchcewan in 2013, and worked for a little over a year as a community planner and ecoomic development officer in the Town of Nipawin. “I was the only guy up there doing that stuff and I got thrown into it pretty quickly,” said Hilash in an interview. “It was a steep learning curve but I gained a lot of experience in a short time.” Czerniak was born in Saskatoon but grew up in Lloydminster. After completing high school, he returned to Saskatoon where he graduated with a planning degree from the Regional Urban Planning Program at the U of S in 2010. He returned to
university and completed his Masters degree in Geography in 2014 while also working as a planning technician in Lloydminster. Both Hilash and Czerniak say they prefer working in a smaller city where there’s lots of development happening. “It’s been very busy,” said Czerniak. “There’s a lot of different projects here and you’re called on to do a variety of tasks. I think in a larger city they slot you into a single silo and you do the same thing over and over.” Hilash said working in Warman has been an eyeopener. “This is a very dynamic city, and it’s opened up a lot of new areas for me to work on. I’m sure I’m seeing a lot more and learning a lot more than a larger city with a big planning department like Saskatoon,” he said.

Warman building permits hit record By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The City of Warman is on pace for a record-setting year when it comes to the number and value of building permts. A total of 560 construction permits (including garages, decks, and additions) worth a total of $101,785,800 were issued by the city between January 1 and October 15, 2014, according to MuniCode Services Ltd., the building inspection company contracted by the City of Warman.
There was a total of 36 commercial building permits worth a total value of $28,658,300 issued in Warman so far this year. But the big number is residential homes. A total of 268 single and multi-family residential building permits were issued worth a total of $68,391,700 so far in Warman in 2014. Martensville has also seen a significant number of projects. According to the city’s planning department, a total of 299 permits (includ-
ing additions, decks and renovations) worth a total of $41,166,172 have been issued from January 1 to September 30, 2014. A total of 57 single-family and 40 multi-family dwellings were issued permits. There were 10 commercial and industrial permits, 6 government and institutional permits, 147 residential additions and renovations permits, and 39 permits listed as “other”. In 2013, the value of all buiding permits in Martensville was $51,641,730.

Vipers earn convincing back-to-back wins By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Sask Valley Vipers collected back to back home wins with a 5-1 victory over the Humboldt Broncos on Friday, October 24, and a 6-2 thrashing of the Swift Current Kabos Raiders on Saturday, October 25. Shaun Priel, head coach of the Vipers said with the team’s struggle to put in a consistent effort for 60 minutes he thought his team put forward a solid game against the Broncos. “In the first part of the game we played real wel,” said Priel. “We played on our toes and well in their offensive zone. They have a couple of good hockey players, but overall our depth really helped us out in that game.” In Friday’s game versus Humboldt the Vipers took advantage early in the game on the power play when Quinn MacDonald converted a goal on a set up by Trent Keewatin and Ethan Neufeld to take a 1-0 lead. The Vipers expanded that gap thirteen minutes later when Austin Lamotte scored to give his team a 2-0 lead to close off the period. In the second stanza the Vipers continued to widen the margin on the Broncos when Noah Kayter, Seth BeaulacRay and Luke Reid each potted a goal, which had the makings of a blowout 5-0 score, but less than eight seconds to go in the second the Broncos Brody Lee finally solved Vipers’ goalie Jake Davidson and ended his chance of a shut out. With no scoring in the third period the Vipers went on to win the game 5-1.
In Saturday’s match up the Kabos Raiders were the first to get on the board when Matthew Christianson dug the puck out of the corner and passed it out front to Aaron Toews, who made no mistake in burying the rubber disc to make it 1-0. The Vipers fought back and owned the remainder of the first period when Kyrell Sopotyk dented the twine from just inside the blue line to draw the game even at one. Minutes later Troy Kosmynka and Austin Lamotte sprung team caption Matthew Conlon on a breakaway. Conlon easily shelved the puck upstairs on the Raiders’ netminder, Brad Nyen, to pull away from the Raiders with a 2-1 score. The Vipers had more where that came. Conlon skated down the wing and found Sopotyk’s stick parked in front of Nyen. Sopotyk added an insurance marker to give the Vipers a 3-1 command of the game after the second period. In the third stanza the Raiders attempted to close the scoring gap when Rhett Stevenson jammed the puck in at Davidson’s short side with help from teammates Logan Fritzke and Brock Herter. At just over the 14 minute mark of the second period, Trent Keewatin’s heavy and accurate wrist shot surprised Nyen and expanded the gap once again by two goals. The Vipers’ Conlon and Kayter each jammed in two more scramble-in-the-crease goals to the left of Nyen to finalize scoring at 6-2, with no scoring in the third period. Priel said he liked his team’s compete level right from the start of the game against the Raiders.

“I like the way we came out and battled right off the bat. They got a couple of long power plays and one 5 on 3 that set us on our heels and they pushed back a little bit,” said Priel. “In the third period we were in their zone a lot, I liked their effort and if we continue to play with that consistency we will continue to win some games.” The wins give the Vipers a seven-win, one-loss record for the month of October. The team will be embarking on a tough four game road trip next month which will take them to Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Wilcox and Regina before hosting the Northeast Wolfpack at Martensville Arena, November 22. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Hanley advances to 1A football provincials By WAYNE SHIELS
essenceofsask@gmail.com
The Hanley Sabers advanced to provincials with a hard fought 50-34 playoff victory over conference rivals LCBI Bisons in the game played at Hanley on Saturday, October 25. The Sabers were first to score when Damon Prystupa broke away for a 46 yard TD run. LCBI responded with a pair of TD s before Hanley’s QB Tareq Halabi scored on a 5 yard run. A successful convert kick gave the Sabers a 14-12 lead. As the Bisons were driving for a go ahead TD, Reid Ashdown grabbed the first of his three interceptions in the game and returned the ball to Hanley’s 40 yard line. Sabers scored as Colten Olyniuk scored on a 52 yard pass and run. The teams exchanged long TD pass plays by Bison’s Lathan Hamlin and Saber’s Marshall Prosofsky to make the half-time score 28-20. LCBI tied the score when Jae Evans scored on a 65 yard run. Another interception by Ash-
down set up Hanley at the Bisons 15 yard line and QB Haliabi was able to break through the middle for his second TD. Conrad Olsen and Teagan Hamilton caught TD passes for the Sabers while Jae Evans scored for the Bisons to make the final score 50-34, propelling Hanley into the provincial playoffs. The Sabers are used to advancing deep into to provincial playoffs, having played in provincial finals and the semi-finals the last two years. Gone are many of the players from those teams, with the 2014 edition of the team having only four grade 12s. “We are a really young team so it bodes well for the future as well as this year, said Coach Anderson.”These guys have just stepped up. They have improved a lot over the year. We are really proud of them. “ The team will travel to Eatonia for opening round of provincial playoffs on Saturday, November 1.

Clavet Cougars gearing up for playoffs Hosting Indian Head this weekend By WAYNE SHIELS
essenceofsask@gmail.com
The Clavet Cougars finished their regular season with a convincing 35-12 win over the the Humboldt Mohawks in a game played at Clavet on Friday, October 24. The Cougars were led by a four touchdown performance by running back Bailey Royer, including a long kickoff return to start the second
half. Their other touchdown came on a long pass play from quarterback Graham Beresh to to receiver Zach Dickson. Coach Shaun Priel felt that having the bye week prior to the game really helped. “It was nice to have last week off to heal up and get ready for this game,” he said, “They have got a good team and we had to work hard.” The Cougars now enter the Provincial 2A nine-man high school football playoffs where their first opponent will be Indian Head. Coach Priel says
they will be a challenge. “They should be good,” he said. “They won the provincials last year in 3A. They may have lost a lot of kids, but they will also have kids who have experience playing. We expect a good battle.” Playoff experience is also something that the Cougars have plenty of, as most of their current players were on the silver medal-winning team of 2013. Game time for the playoff game on November 1 in Clavet is 1:00 p.m.

Delisle Chiefs hire new head coach By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Delisle Chiefs Junior hockey team is off to a slow start in the Prairie Junior Hockey League, but the Blue and Gold’s record has nothing to do with hiring a new head coach, says General Manager Gordy Ouellette. “I don’t think the players were hearing Dave Norris’s methods anymore and it was just time for a change,” said Ouellette. “Typically teams have slow starts and we are not going to change a coach because we go one and four to start the year. That is just Junior B hockey.” Norris coached the Chiefs since 2009 and decided to step down from his position with the team on October 6. Ouellette didn’t have to look far to find a replacement with former Chiefs alumnus Eric Ditto. Ditto was a reliable sniper for the Chiefs in the 200809 season where he racked up 14 goals and 22 assists for 36 points in 40 games. During the 2009-10 season the Chiefs traded Ditto to the Tri-Town Thunder, where he scored 27 goals and added 19 assosts for 46 points. He helped the Thunder win its first-ever Keystone Cup, awarded to the top Junior B team in Canada. Ditto then had a short stint with the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Nipawin Hawks, where he played five games before the
Former Delisle Chiefs player Eric Ditto said it’s an exciting opportunity to take over the top coaching job with the Junior B hockey club Hawks traded him back to the Thunder in 2010-11, where he scored 34 goals and added 83 helpers in 40 games during the regular season. During the 2011-12 season Ditto returned to the Chiefs where he would have his best season, with 43 goals and 65 assists for 108 points in 38 games. Ouelette said Ditto was his first and only choice to replace Norris. “When the change was made my only thought was Eric Ditto,” said Ouelette. I know he was coaching minor hockey and when he did play with us his last year he did express an interest in coaching at some point in time. Eric is probably one of the sharpest young hockey minds around and what he did in this league, the players have to respect that.” Ditto has already left a

positive impression on the Chiefs. Over the weekend the team put together their first pair of back-to-back wins in the month of October with a 6-5 shoot out win over the Southern Rebels October 25 and a 9-2 pounding of the Cypress Cyclones, October 26. What is more impressive is that both games were on the road. For the past six summers Ditto has been coaching minor hockey in Saskatoon and when the opportunity came up to coach the Chiefs, he wasn’t going to turn it down. “I was really excited. There was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to do it,” said Ditto. “It has been in my mind for a few years. I knew if I got the opportunity I would take it.” Ditto understands it’s going to take some time to get to know the players and get them to follow his vision for the team. Based on the Chiefs’ shoot out win against the Rebels he believes that there is a lot of heart and talent on the roster. The best part is having a former Chief player coach the team, said Ouellette. “Since year one the ownership group has had a motto of ‘once a Chief, always a Chief.’ It doesn’t matter if you played with us for one year or five years,” said Ouellette. “It is a family atmosphere and bringing Eric back home we are excited. It means something to these players because Eric has worn the Chiefs jersey and has had success.”

VCA boys win soccer gold, girls take bronze at provincials By JAMES TARRANT
Osler’s Valley Christian Academy boys soccer team took home gold at the 1A Provincial Soccer Championships in North Battleford, October 24-25.

Osler’s Valley Christian Academy boys soccer team won gold at the 1A Provincial Boys Soccer Championship in North Battleford October 24-25. Maymont High School hosted the tournament, which saw teams from North Battleford, Middle Lake, Meadow Lake and Osler compete to win the 1A provincial crown. In round robin play Osler shut out Meadow Lake Carpenter 5-0 nothing and defeated Middle Lake 4-1 in the final to take home the gold. Murray Neudorf, VCA boys soccer coach, said the first game seemed a lot closer than the score reflected, even though VCA had Meadow Lake down 3-0 after the first half. “We scored on our chances and our goalie played well,” said Neudorf. In the final game Middle Lake scored first to set the tone in the game, but VCA found a way to answer back and secure the win. “They scored two minutes into the first half but they didn’t get many chances after that. We played really well, said Neudorf. The win will make it the first seven-on-seven tournament VCA won, which is a new provincial playoff format by the SHSAA for 1A division teams this year. VCA previously had won provincial gold playing in the 11on-11 format, but playing with fewer players on the soccer pitch was a challenge. “At the regional tournament that is the first time that we ever played two games on one day. That format is definitely the reason why we lost to Meadow Lake at regionals. Our boys were not used to that,” said Neudorf. “They made sure they were well rested for the provincial games, which helped a lot.” VCA Girls Win Bronze At the 1A Girls provincial championship in Middle Lake, Martensville, Osler VCA, Delisle and Waldheim all competed, with Osler defeating Maymont in their opening game by a score of 8-3. They were edged by Lake Lenore 6-5 in their second game. This qualified Osler to play in the bronze medal game, where they defeated Waldheim 5-4. Martensville’s round robin match ups saw them defeat Lake Lenore 2-1 and shut out Maymont 4-0, which allowed them to play in a consolation game, where they defeated Delisle 5-1. During the opening round Delisle lost their opening game against Waldheim 3-1, but won

their second game versus Ahtahkakoop 6-2. Shawna Wirz, Delisle girls soccer coach, said they were all good games and her team played really well despite finishing in fifth place in the tournament. “In the final game we were short a few players so we only had one substitute, but the girls that were there played well. Some quick goals at the end did us in,” said Wirz. Breanne Cooper, Martensville girls soccer coach said her team’s passing plays were some of the best she had seen all
year. Cooper said out of the Central Valley Athletic Conference, four out of the six teams play in the conference, which made preparing for the regionals and provincials that much easier.

Warman High School hosts successful provincial soccer tournament By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Eight teams from across the province converged in Warman for the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Associations 2A Provincial Soccer Championships, October 24-25. The tournament saw teams from Victoire, Regina, Moose Jaw, Cando and Yorkton compete for top spot in the province. Each team had to play two round robin games and had to win at least one to advance to the bronze and gold medal games. Warman High School got a bye to the provincials as the school hosting the event but the Yorkton Sacred Heart Saints didn’t make it easy for the Wolverines in the opening game with their relentless attack up the middle of the pitch, blanking them 13-3 on Monday, with nine of their goals coming in the first half of the game. In the second game the Wolverines were beaten by a closer 4-1 margin by Se Se Wa Hum, which knocked them out of the the tournament playoffs. Russell Dyck, head coach of the WHS Wolverine Boys Soccer team, said the tournament was a tale of two different teams in terms of their competitive approach used to battle both opponents. When Yorkton scored four goals in the first 30 minutes of
the first half, negativity started to consume the Wolverines players bench, which Dyck helped put in perspective for his team. “I think I tried to create a more accurate context for these kids. I told the guys that we are not going to be able to compete in this game, but we can play a much better half; and they did,” said Dyck. “In the second half we made some adjustments in terms of formation by changing up some of the mid fielders and centre backs, which created more space and allowed us to pop three goals in.” In the second game against Victoire’s Se Se Wa Hum, Dyck said the Wolverines approached the game with a different attitude. “We came out to a quick 1-0 lead in that second game, scored within the first four minutes. The boys felt good about themselves, but then when Se Se Wa Hum potted two quick ones they didn’t recover after that.” In the playoff round Lake Lenore took home the gold with a 2-0 victory over Yorkton with Regina Christian taking bronze with a 3-1 victory over Moose Jaw Central. Despite the loss Dyck said he never coached a nicer group of kids. “I remember when Yorkton CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

Provincial soccer tournament scored their fourth goal, one of my leaders said from the bench: ‘Okay, we are shooting for the sportsmanship award guys.’ He was half joking and half serious,” laughed Dyck. “We may lose but at least we can lose in style. I had a lot of great leaders on this team this year and all the senior
guys made the new recruits feel like they were a part of the team.” This is the second time in a couple of years that Warman hosted the 2A SHSAA Provincial Soccer Championships with all feedback from coaches, officials and SHSAA all being very positive,said Dyck.
“The city itself does a fantastic job with the facilities. You are not going to find nicer outdoor soccer fields in the city with natural grass than Arthur Neufeld and Percy Hoff,” said Dyck “We also hosted this tournament before so it’s pretty seamless and we know what we are doing.”

fire on the farm Firefighters from Langham and Dalmeny responded to a fire on a farm west of Saskatoon in the RM of Corman Park on Wednesday, October 22. The fire began after sod and dry grass re-ignited several days after a previous controlled burn had been thought to be extinguished. There were no injuries and no serious damage to property in the incident.

SIGHTLINES You only have one pair of eyes, and they need to last a lifetime. “There is no such thing as eye replacement surgery,” said Lee Pion, supervisor of vision rehabilitation services with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB). “There are some amazing technologies out there, and there are even cornea transplants, but unfortunately, there is no cure for blindness.” With 33 million separate nerves, all of which need to be properly connected in order for a person to see an image, an individual eye is such a fragile and complex organ that even the most advanced surgical techniques can’t repair serious damage. Pion, who works at the CNIB office in Saskatoon, outlined the importance of protecting your eyes from injury during a presentation to students at Warman High School on Friday, October 17. He stressed that wearing basic eye protection like sunglasses and safety glasses is a simple but highly-effective way of keeping your eyesight intact. Pion presented a series of highly-graphic slides showing the damage resulting from a variety of eye injuries. The images on the screen weren’t for the squeamish, but they were all real pictures taken of actual patients. The incidents ranged from fishhooks to industrial accidents involving chemicals and sharp pieces of metal. But the bottom line is that virtually all of them shouldn’t have happened, he said. “People need to be responsible for their own eyes, especially when they’re doing something that could potentially hurt themselves or someone else,” he said in an interview following the presentation. “One hundred per cent of eye injuries are preventable.” Diseases of the eye can also rob a person of their sight, said Pion. While some people are born with eye problems, other disease-related conditions, such
as those associated with some forms of diabetes, can often be alleviated by healthy lifestyle changes. Pion, who is “legally blind” because of a genetic eye condition (he can only see in black and white, not colour) and poor eyesight, leads an otherwise normal life. His work involves helping others with impaired sight learn to adapt to their condition. Approximately one million people in Canada currently are living with some form of vision loss, said Pion. “That number is increasing all the time,” he added. The CNIB is a charitable organization with 52 locations across Canada. The organization relies heavily on volunteers for its educational and rehabilitation programs, said Pion. He said it is unfortunate that rehabilitation programs for victims of eye injuries or eye disease are not covered under public health coverage. “Someone who needs rehabilitation for a hip injury or an injury to their arms or legs is able to receive that,” he said. “But people who have eye injuries or disease-related eyesight loss need to go to a charitable organization to get rehabilitation services. “They’re not charity cases, and the programs shouldn’t be related to how well a car raffle went the year before. “We would like to see sustainable funding for the CNIB from government for these programs.” The CNIB rehabilitation programs are designed to work one-on-one with clients, depending on their individual needs. The agency helps sight-impaired people learn to use various aids such as canes; and provides assistance with day-today living. “It could be something as simple as putting a rubber band on a tube of toothpaste so you can tell it from a similarly-shaped tube of shampoo,” said Pion. “Things you take for granted if you can see become very difficult if you can’t see.”

Martensville Lions Club promotes recycled eyeglasses, eye bank program By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Lions Club International is doing its part to help visually-impaired people in Canada and abroad by recycling used eyeglasses. Syl Serbolowski, President of the Martensville and District Lions Club, said the local organization has been collecting used eyeglasses for several years. “We have a number of dropoff locations in Martensville, Warman and Dalmeny,” said Serblowski in an interview last
week. “In Martensville, the local library, City Hall, and the schools are involved. The pharmacy in Dalmeny is a drop-off point, and Martens Warman Funeral Home in Warman is also a collection depot.” Serblowski said last year a total of one million eyeglasses were collected nation-wide through the program. “People tend to just throw thier old glasses away, but they can make such a huge difference in people’s lives,” said Serblowski. The eye bank at Saskatoon
City Hospital is another project supported by the Lions Club. “They’re doing a great job with cornea transplants,” said Serblowski. “But the perennial issue is a lack of donors. People really should consider donating their organs, including corneas, so that others can benefit.” The Lions Foundation of Canada also supports a program that trains dogs in six different disciplines, including sight dogs, hearing dogs, seizure dogs and diabetic dogs for people with health issues.

On Tuesday, October 21 the Rostern Junior College (RJC) Chorale sang for residents and guests at Bethany Manor in Saskatoon at the annual Kielke and Sausage Fundraising Supper. Over 200 people enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by our own kitchen staff. This was the chorale’s first performance of the year, and Richard Janzen directed them in a variety of songs that were well received by the guests. “We raised quite a bit of money, and people appreciated hearing about what was happening at the school,” said Dan Richert, donor and community relations. “The event went off as a success with thanks to our hard working volunteers, cooks and staff at Bethany Manor.” The Longhorns football team won a thrilling 56-54 victory in Spirtwood on Wednesday, October 22 to finish 5-1 on the season. The Longhorns will begin their playoff hunt on Saturday, November 1 in Hudson Bay. The boys’ soccer team’s season came to an end with a loss to Hepburn at regional playoffs on Friday, October 17 in Middle Lake. “We showed a lot of improvement, and I saw a lot of good sportsmanship out there,” said Grade 12 player and cocaptain Brandon Janzen. “Everyone passed to everyone…no favourites…and there was a lot of encouragement to new players. I want to come back and play again next year!” The girls’ soccer team hosted regionals, and were defeated by Valley Christian Academy. On Thursday, October 23 the girls travelled to LCBI to round out their season. “I was impressed by the girls perseverance despite injuries,” said assistant coach Emily Dueck. Both volleyball teams competed in tournaments on the weekend of October 17 and 18. The boys were at PA Carlton and finished fifth out of 11 with a 5-2 record, while the girls finished in third place in Lanigan. Guests in chapel from this past week included Hague Mennonite Youth Pastor Jesse Doell and local storyteller Ric Driediger. They each reflected on the theme “Seek First the Kingdom of God”, and related the theme to stories from their lives. The students appreciated their relational approach.

Wheatland Sr. Hockey League expanding
close quarters
By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Wheatland Senior Hockey League (WSHL) will kick of its 2014-15 season on November 1 with two new teams and divisions, said league president Cliff Watkins. Kelvington and Foam Lake are the league’s two newest expansion teams, which will help form a Northern Division made up of teams from St. Brieux, Naicam, Kinistino, Kelvington, Foam Lake and Lake Lenore. Teams making up the Southern Division will include Allan, Dundurn, Craik, Holdfast, Imperial and Young. Each division team will play each other three times, including home and away games during the regular season, with the top four teams in both divisions making the playoffs. Watkins said the additions of Kelvington and Foam Lake will mean less traveling time for the league’s 12 teams throughout the season. “Almost every team in the league will travel less than they did last year because they play 15 of their games within their division and normally three on the road outside their division.” Every year the WSHL receives numerous requests from senior hockey teams wanting to join the league, with travel distance often being the determining factor of whether a team’s application is accepted. “We have a constitution that allows for teams to approach us in the off-season. It is always a group decision whenever these moves are made, but from my point of view it depends on a lot of factors whether we would be receptive to many more teams or any more teams.” A common factor includes whether a team can attract players to compete in a league for free, which is a common problem for senior hockey leagues.

Jaxon Martens of the Warman Pee Wee AA Wildcats gets in the kitchen of Battlefords Barons netminder Shayne Price early in the third period of a game at Diamond Arena in Warman on Sunday, October 26. The Wildcats defeated the visiting Barons by a score of 7-0. Josh Pillar had a hat trick in the game, while teammates Tyler Vanneste, Owen Tallmadge, Dylan Ashe and Darian NolnEns also scored. Wildcats goaltender Matthew Hennesey was solid in net and made several spectacular saves to earn the shutout.

WHEATKINGS READY
Rich Seward, head coach of the Dundurn Wheatkings, is excited about the changes and is hoping his team will finish in the top two of the league’s Southern Division this year. Last season the Wheatkings finished fourth in the league but were ousted in the first round of the playoffs by the Naicam Vikings. Seward said travel time is a legitimate concern from league teams when it comes to expansion. “It seems that teams interested in joining our league are some distance away,”said Seward. “While it is great that Kelvington and Foam Lake had an interest in joining our league travel can sometimes become a bit of an issue.” Seward said he is encouraged that the model of the WSHL is thriving. “There are a lot of towns that are simply wanting to come to a more competitive league, that are not looking to pay for a whole pile of imports to put together a super team,” said Seward. “They just want primarily a local team or a team that is made of guys within the area that want to play at home.” When the model is designed that way, Seward said competition is usually at an even standard. “Our league is quite competitive. There are six or seven teams that have a realistic chance to win the championship,” said Seward. “I mean Kelvington has a lot of great players so I would imagine that they see themselves having a shot at it.”

SaskPower workers perch atop a crane as they hook up power lines on new poles near Highway 11 south of Warman. The new powerline will connect the Aberdeen substation with the Martensville substation, and eventually to another substation in the north end of Saskatoon. The project is aimed at reducing the depedence of the Saskatoon region on the Queen Elizabeth power station in the southern part of the city. According to Tyler Hopson, communications spokesperson for SaskPower, the new Martensville substation is slated to be energized by the end of November.

BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES Threshing day harkens back to old-time harvest By RUTH BITNER Dalmeny, SK
Visitors might be excused for thinking they had stepped back to the 1940s as they drove up to the Quiring farm north of Dalmeny on Saturday morning October 18 for the 11th annual Quiring threshing show. Two threshing outfits stood belted up and ready: a John Deere D to power the IHC McCormick-Deering wooden machine, a J.I. Case Model L on the Advance Rumely, and a wooden grain wagon for each. Four or five teamsters waited for the signal from show organizer Murl Quiring to bring in the sheaves. Other volunteers jumped aboard the bundle wagons, ready to pitch in. Friends gathered to watch, swap stories and reminisce. Two young girls played in the straw. What started in 2004 with one threshing machine, one tractor, a two-wheeled trailer and a 45 gallon drum to catch the threshed grain has grown into an annual event that attracts people from all over the Valley. “If you’re going to come here and be happy, you are welcome,” says Murl. Early on, people started asking if they could help. Volunteers are never turned away because it’s a lot of work to cut and stook the crop, make sure the machinery runs properly, line up the equipment, and prepare food for the noon meal that follows the show. Murl, third generation on the Quiring family farm, says he inherited the old machinery bug from his Grampa Quiring. “I like to fix old junk,” he grins as he talks about what got him started. None of the machinery belonged originally to the family so over the years Murl bought the equipment used in the show. Once the date is set, Murl’s mother Ethel gets out her list and phones people to let them know. Almost everyone asks what they can bring. She never turns down an offer of homemade buns or pies. Her small army of helpers dished up beef, ham, pickles, and rollkuchen with syrup along with the buns and pies to about 85 people. Sam, Murl’s father, enjoys the food, fun and fellowship from the seat of his ATV. The Quirings say it’s the homey atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Most have roots in rural Saskatchewan and its the sense of community and helping one another that draw people together. “It’s a social thing,” they say. “It’s like a big field party,” adds Murl who makes a point of welcoming each person. “It’s the people that bring food, the horse guys, and the guys that help that make the day so much fun.”
