Warman, Martensville school bids shortlisted to three builders The provincial government has shortlisted three companies in the competition to build P3 schools in Warman, Martensville, Regina and Saskatoon.

In a news release issued Friday, October 31, SaskBuilds Minister Gordon Wyant said three “qualified teams have been shortlisted to participate in the next stage of the competitive selection process to build 18 new elementary schools on nine joint-use sites” in the four cities.

Three experienced teams responded to the province’s Request for Qualifications (RFQ), which closed September 11, 2014. After evaluating the responses, the teams have been invited to move forward to the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage for the bundle of six jointuse schools in Martensville (one), Saskatoon (four) and Warman (one), and the bundle

of three joint-use schools in Regina.

The three proponent teams for both bundles are: Joint Use Mutual Partnership Plenary Education Tandem Education Partners “We are very satisfied with the level of interest and with the quality of the teams that submitted proposals,” said Wyant. “This demonstrates the private sector’s very real interest in partnering with our government to build critically important infrastructure.

Moving forward to the RFP stage is a key step in our plan to have the schools ready for students on-time and on-budget in 2017.”

The new schools will be owned and operated by the public sector. The five school divisions have been partners throughout the procurement process and will continue to be

Woman injured in single vehicle collision on Hwy. 12 Martensville RCMP responded to a single vehicle collision on Highway 12 on the overpass near Saskatoon early Monday morning, November 3.

At 7:50 a.m., a Ford Focus was traveling northbound on Highway 12 when it lost control while attempting to pass a large vehicle. The car hit the overpass and rolled down an embankment where it came to

rest.

The lone female occupant of the vehicle was transported to hospital in Saskatoon with undetermined injuries. There is some fresh snow and slush on roadways, but it has not been determined if this is a factor in the collision.

One lane of Highway 12 was blocked off while the vehicle was removed from the ditch.

involved moving forward.

The project is a design-buildfinance-maintain public-private partnership (P3) procurement model and a proponent is expected to be selected by summer 2015. Construction of the new facility is expected to be-

gin in summer 2015 with completion targeted for fall 2017.

The cost of the facility will be determined through the competitive process.

Sites for the new schools have been selected in both Martensville and Warman.

Town of Aberdeen to unveil new office

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Town of Aberdeen municipal staff and elected council will soon be moving into a new town office. Construction of the new facility is slated to be complete by the middle of November.

The new office will be located at 401C Main Street in a strip mall that also houses Soul Wok restaurant.

Susan Thompson, administrator for the town, said she is excited about the new office.

“I can hardly wait to get in there,” she said. “It’s great. We can all meet in the same building and we don’t have to be moving around everywhere.”

For many years the town has had to split holding council meetings between the Community Hall and the Seniors Centre, but the decision to have more storage space, the ability to consolidate more town services into one building and have a more professional look-

ing facility to do business were reasons for the upgrade, said Thompson.

“The new facility will include a front reception area, an administrator office, vault, council chambers, maintenance area and storage in the back,” explained Thompson.

Earlier this year the town had planned to move into the old RM of Aberdeen office when they vacated to a new facility.

That plan would have given the town 1200 square feet of space, which is much more than the 400 square feet they are forced to work with right now. The new facility will double the space the old RM office offered.

Thompson said another reason for deciding not to move into the old RM office was because the town wanted to be more visible to the public.

Pending an official move in time the town is hoping to hold a public open house for the town’s new office in December.

The new office will cost the town $215,000.

NATURE CALLS Redberry Lake is Saskatchewan’s only UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

The mist rises off a pond in the cool stillness of the morning as a pair of loons watch over their newly hatched baby. Not far away, a deer feeds in a field while pelicans glide effortlessly overhead. Meanwhile, a continuous melody pours from the songbirds perched on the numerous Buffaloberry bushes.

STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHS

By WAYNE SHIELS essenceofsask@gmail.com

With its idyllic setting, Redberry Lake is a special place.

Being nature lovers and photographers, my wife and I were amazed at the variety and numbers of wildlife found in the region.

Redberry Lake lies within a 112,200-hectare watershed in the aspen parkland ecozone.

The glacial moraine landscape is dominated by rolling hills dotted with ponds, marshes, aspen groves and small patches of mixed prairie. The saline lake itself lies in the heart of the area, and its islands provide important nesting habitat and staging areas for migratory birds.

The area has long been home to an abundance of birds and other wildlife. Evidence suggests that bison favoured this region, making it an important area for First Nations cultures.

The region was also known to fur traders and explorers Alexander Henry and David Thompson, and was along an historic trail between Fort Carlton and Fort Pitt. In fact, the first recorded impressions of the area was when David Thompson named the area Redberry on one of his maps in the early 1800s.

The first European settlers in the area quickly recognized Redberry Lake as a vital bird habitat. In 1915 the lake and adjacent lands were set aside as a provincial sanctuary and it was officially designated a Federal Bird Sanctuary in 1925.

In 1970 most of the islands became a Provincial Wildlife Refuge, and this was extended to include all the islands in 1986.

In 1998 the sanctuary was recognized as an an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International. The lake provides habitat for nine endangered or threatened species, and over 180 species have been identified in the area.

The most famous and impressive resident is the American white pelican, where two per cent of the world’s population of this species use the islands for nesting colonies. A

regular visitor is the one of the rarest North American birds: the whooping crane. These visitors use the area for a stopover point in their migration from nesting in Alberta’s Wood Buffalo National Park to their wintering grounds in Texas.

In 2000 the lake and its watershed received further international recognition when it was designated a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Biosphere Reserve under the Man and the Biosphere Program. It is the only biosphere reserve in Saskatchewan and one of just sixteen in Canada. World-wide there are 631 Biosphere Reserves in 119 countries.

The designation recognizes the region’s commitment to conservation and sustainable economic development, as well as creation of opportunities for education, research and experimental approaches to land mamagement.

Myriam Montrat, Secretary General of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, says Biosphere Reserves are “model areas of sustainability, where the local community, public, private and non-profit sectors collaborate to find grassroots solutions to societal challenges.”

The benefit of biosphere reserves, she stated, “provides a global network of knowledge sharing and continuous learning about ways to implement sustainability principles.”

As with all biospheres, there is a core area. In this case, it is the lake and its islands. This is surrounded by a buffer zone, which in turn lies within a larger area of cooperation. The Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve (RLBR) is defined by the watershed that flows into the lake via two main creeks, Oscar Creek from the north and Marshy Creek from the southwest.

The buffer zone is the area immediately around the lake.

Steep slopes covered with a mix of grasslands, bush and shrubs form a natural strip surround-

ing the water. In 1987 Redberry Rural Municipality enacted Lakeshore Management Zoning bylaws to prevent inappropiate development of the lake and adjacent lands.

Currently there is a beautiful, well-maintained regional park on the northwest part of the lake. Redberry Lake Regional Park offers great camping, picnicing, swimming, boating, golfing and hiking opportunities and a concession with some of the best food you can eat anywhere. The Research and Education Centre for the Biosphere Reserve is located within the park. This Centre offers great displays on wildlife, local history and culture, as well as information on biospheres around the world.

The Centre also offers canoe rentals and runs a Kid’s Club during the summer months.

On the east side of the lake is the membership-based, family-oriented Saskatoon Sailing Club. Two miles south of the club is the Redberry Lake Bible Camp. On the north side of

Snowshoe hare

the lake is a new development called Pelletier Point, where one-acre lots are being sold.

In the larger area of cooperation that is the watershed of Redberry Lake, the landscape transitions from large fields of various crops in the south, to pasture lands and mixed farming throughout the middle, to bush country in the north. The town of Hafford, located 11 kilometers west of Redberry Lake, is the major centre servicing the region.

Peter Kingsmill, current Chair of the Board of Directors for the Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve Board and one of the original supporters of the reserve, shared what the designation has meant to the region.

“Because of the biosphere we draw a lot of people from outside the area, outside of Saskatchewan, from Ontario, Quebec, Maritimes, B.C. and overseas,” said Kingsmill.

Research and education are of central importance in the biospheres, according to Kingsmill.

“Some of that is technical work,” he explained. “Doing research on one thing or another.

We had a lot of capacity-building research, and we have an agreement with the University of Saskatchewan with some of the work we are doing. Some of that is environmental studies and some is social studies.”

While scientific studies of the biosphere were expected and accepted, local residents found the sudden interest in the area by well-meaning social scientists a little disconcerting.

Still, they took the idea of being studied as though they were some kind of rare species all in stride.

“The first few years after we were designated there were a lot of people interested in the people who lived here and what made them tick,” said Kingsmill. “A lot of our seniors got a bunch of face-time with a bunch of scientists. Everyone enjoyed it. It was fun.”

Is early retirement Mixed results during first week of new session a thing of the past?

COMMENTARY

A majority of Canadians are worried they have not saved enough to sustain themselves through retirement.

Sixty per cent of those surveyed in a Conference Board of Canada survey feel they cannot comfortably retire with the money they set aside.

More alarming is the 60 per cent of those on the cusp of retirement – Canadians aged 55 to 64 – who say they have not put enough money aside.

Other findings in the report include: · Over one-third of Canadians say they don’t know when they’ll be able to retire · Just over 40 per cent of Canadians aged 65+ say they have not put enough money aside. · More than half of current retirees rely solely or largely on public pension plans.

One possible factor might be the lack of financial literacy among Canadians, with 1 in 5 saying their skills are below average or poor.

“Financial literacy isn’t something that is built into our lives,” comments Jeff Schwartz, executive director of Consolidated Credit Counseling Services of Canada.

The Conference Board of Canada data agrees, showing that respondents who claimed excellent financial literacy skills are 4 to 7 times more likely to be confident in retiring on their own terms. As we head into Financial Literacy Month, Consolidated Credit has put together the following primer on what Canadians need to know to prepare for retirement: * Set your goals – What kind of a retirement do you envision? Lots of financial advice articles talk about seven-figure savings requirements, but it entirely depends on you. * What’s it going to take? – Once you have your goals in mind, try the Canadian Government’s Retirement Income Calculator. Enter your financial information and see if you will hit your target or if you’ll fall short. Knowing where you stand will allow you to make the necessary adjustments. * Start early – The sooner you start saving for retirement, the better. Adding small amounts to an RRSP in your 20’s gives your money 40 years of growth. * Know your options – There is a range of ways you can fund your retirement, including public and private funds. * Eliminate debt – Everyone strives to be debt-free in retirement, but some studies show more than half of Canadians carry some form of debt into retirement. Attack your debt while still earning an income, or, seek help from a non-profit credit counselling service if your debt is unmanageable.

Engaging yourself in financial literacy will keep your longterm financial health in the forefront of your mind.

To say that the first week of the new session of the Legislature wasn’t a very good one for the Saskatchewan Party government would be a bit of understatement.

Provincial Politics

Immediately, Premier Brad Wall’s administration was hit with memos obtained by the NDP Opposition suggesting a near-revolt in senior health administration ranks over the $40-million implementation of the lean efficiency model in health.

Regina-Qu’Appelle Health Region leaders concluded lean is not being accepted because of the my-way-or-highway approach of American consultant John Black.

That was quickly followed by similar revelations that the CEO in the Saskatoon Health Region Authority had similar qualms about Black’s style and effectiveness. By no small coincidence, she was fired at a cost of a year’s severance just as it was revealed that she had sharp disagreements with Black himself.

That said, lean might be considered a brilliant success compared with the SaskPower’s smart meter fiasco.

The government’s own $500,000 report commissioned by the Crown Investment Corp.

(CIC) revealed that the Crown electrical utility was far too cavalier about public safety when it came to their smart meters catching on fire.

Rather than a successful test period in which SaskPower should have eased into the purchase and installation of the smart meters, the utility blundered ahead with the purchase

of 100,000 smart meters from U.S.-based Sensus even though there were stories from elsewhere of problems with the devices.

Moreover, no one person at SaskPower seemed to be responsible for this $200-million program.

The mess cost former SaskPower president Robert Watson his job, but may have cost the Sask. Party even more in its credibility as effective managers.

All this came within the first few days after the throne speech that almost didn’t take place that day because of the terrorist act in Ottawa.

Suffice to say, this was more than a bit of an auspicious kickoff to the political season that might very well end with an election a year from now.

However, it wasn’t all bad news for the Sask. Party government when you get down to the nitty-gritty content of its throne speech.

Most notable in the throne

Unexpected sports championships are the ones we remember the most When I grew up on “The Rock” one of the sports that united small outport towns on the southern part of the Bruin Peninsula was soccer.

Lawn, the rural fishing village my father grew up in, had a team called the Shamrocks.

The team was made up of brothers, fathers, uncles, sons and sometimes a cousin or stray Lawn resident, depending on how good he was.

The thing I loved about going to those games with my Dad was the character of the people, the atmosphere and the shape of the fields.

They were the bare minimum. Mostly rocks and patchy tufts of grass scattered here and there. The offside lines on the field were barely visi-

ble. But that was okay because they were unnecessary. The cars and trucks surrounding the field formed a perfect rectangle.

It was great when goals were scored because you would hear a variety of horn tones.

For people who were not able to make the game, all they needed to do was open a window during home games to know which team scored.

The Lawn Shamrocks only

made it to a provincial final once in their 40-year history. I remember that game because it involved a motorcade all through the town and along the twisting roads that clung to the cliffs of the Lawn’s inner harbour.

It’s always funny when a team starts its season, with the only reasons for playing being the love of the game, competition and beating the stuffing out of the city teams.

That’s all the motivation a rural team needs to make it to a provincial final.

It’s the same feeling I got watching the University of Saskatchewan Huskies Men’s soccer team win the Canada West Universities Athletic Association’s Western Champion-

ship (CWUAA).

Their are a few obvious differences between the Huskies and the Shamrocks, being that one is a senior team and the other a university team made up of young men mostly from Saskatoon, a team that went 9W,1L,2T in the CWUAA Prairies Division, a team that recently won the CWUA Western Final this past weekend and a team that is on its first trip to the National Final in Charlottetown, P.E.I It was a result no one thought would happen, and probably one of the best sports stories of the year if they win it all.

It’s a great sports story that will probably be talked about for decades.

speech was talk of tax incentives for manufacturing and processing businesses; good news for rural Saskatchewan, in particular, that has a lot of oil seed and pulse crop processing facilities and small implement manufacturers in need of a boost after years of dealing with a high Canadian petro dollar.

The throne speech hit on other familiar Sask. Party themes like reducing internal trade barriers and harmonizing labour standards and occupational health and safety regulations with Alberta and B.C., under the New West Partnership agreement.

There was also greater emphasis on public-private partnerships (P3s) for infrastructure projects like the Saskatchewan Hospital and integrated correctional facility in North Battleford, Swift Current’s Long-Term Care Centre and nine new schools including ones that will be built in rural communities and smaller cit-

ies.

Also, the speech made it known that the Wall government intends to turn up the heat on private liquor stores, vowing never again to build another public liquor store in this province.

This is being emphasized to shore up the Sask. Party`s business base as it fills its coffers for an election fight.

But lest anyone assume this government is only about business, the speech’s call for tighter privacy laws, changes to organ donation rules, tougher penalties for illegal hunting and a long-term mental health addictions action plan. This seems to point to a pretty wellrounded agenda that should please a wide variety of Saskatchewan people.

Admittedly, such throne speech messaging was a bit lost in the first week`s blunders.

But there is lots of time for Wall to get his government back on the course after a tough first week.

Reader Opinions

Operation Legacy ensures sacrifices are not forgotten I belong to Operation Legacy, which is made up of members and graduates of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program and is dedicated to teaching the younger generation about Canada’s military heritage.

Remembrance Day is special to me and to Champs across the country as The War Amps was started by veterans who returned from the First World War missing limbs. They were there to support each other and then passed on their knowledge to amputee veterans returning from the Second World War. They then created the CHAMP Program to assist young amputees like me.

CHAMP provides financial assistance for artificial limbs and regional seminars where we can share concerns and advice. Because of this, I feel it is my duty to carry on the torch of remembrance and help ensure the sacrifices of those who served are never forgotten.

The key objective behind Operation Legacy is to help young people understand and pass on the legacy and memories of our veterans. It also ensures the younger generation too understands the sacrifices they made.

Stolen truck involved Drug-addled driver arrested by police on Hwy. 16 in high-speed pursuit FROM On Tuesday, October 28, Saskatoon RCMP received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle, a red truck, on a rural property approximately five miles east of Saskatoon off of Highway 5.

Members attending the scene located the truck travelling at a high rate of speed, westbound, towards the City of Saskatoon on Highway 5. Members activated their emergency equipment, but once they entered city limits, deactivated their emergency equipment and contacted Saskatoon Police Service, who responded to the scene.

The truck travelled on College Avenue into the city and entered the Royal University Hospital parking lot. The truck turned around near the emergency services area and drove over a spike belt that was deployed by Saskatoon Police Service, deflating three tires. The truck turned down a service road with a dead end and Saskatoon Police Service arrested four youth, 2 males and 2 females, without incident. There were no injuries as a result of the incident.

Further investigation has revealed that the red truck was reported stolen to Rose Valley RCMP with the theft occurring sometime between midnight and 7:30 a.m. on Monday, October 27. The four youth are in the custody of the Saskatoon RCMP and the investigation is ongoing.

Humboldt mayor re-elected chair of City Mayors’ Caucus At the fall meeting of the City Mayors’ Caucus, mayors from Saskatchewan’s 16 cities re-elected Humboldt Mayor Malcolm Eaton as their chair.

His re-election means he will also remain on the Executive Committee and Board of Directors for the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA). The group also met with Minister Jim Reiter and MLA Kevin Phillips.

“It’s a pleasure to serve, not

only the City of Humboldt, but also the other 15 cities as Chair of the City Mayors’ Caucus,” said Eaton. “The work we do as a Caucus, along with SUMA, is very valuable to our residents and I’m honoured to continue my work with them.”

The group also discussed infrastructure, municipal bylaw enforcement, community safety officers, and the provincial recycling program.

Sask. wages rise in August Workers in Saskatchewan are taking more money home according to new figures released by Statistics Canada. Average weekly earnings in the province were $986.22 in August, the third highest among the provinces. Wages were up 4.0 per cent on a yearover-year basis, above the national increase of 3.5 per cent.

With inflation factored in, real wages were up 1.3 per cent when compared to August 2013.

“In Saskatchewan, we are experiencing strong economic growth, and one of the advan-

tages to residents living here is that wages are some of the highest in Canada,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Wages have kept pace with inflation – which means these are real dollars going home in the pockets of working people.”

Saskatchewan’s average weekly earnings increased by 0.8 per cent (+$8.08) compared to the previous month, ranking third highest among provinces (tied with Alberta), and above the national increase of 0.1 per cent.

Quiring wins national bull riding crown Submitted by

ETHEL QUIRING Dalmeny, SK

Excitement reigned with Thanksgiving in our hearts as season-leader, Austin Quiring of Strathmore, Alberta, won the championship in bull riding at the Foothills Cowboys Association Final Rodeo Classic held in Red Deer, Alberta, Oct. 10-12.

Austin spent the last seven months going hard down the rodeo road to garner a coveted spot at the finals, held in the Stockmen’s Pavilion in Western Park.

Saturday afternoon, Austin visited the VIP stage to collect $1,000 Go-Round cheque on his way to the Championship Sunday. His bull-riding skills paid off, with an imprssive and exciting 8-second ride Sunday afternoon. The judges’ score assured Austin of his win.

“I want to thank everyone for their overwhelming support through this difficult time.,” Dueck said earlier this week.

“I am still in shock as to what happened. I have put my heart

and soul into the Legends organization and golf in Warman for the last seven years. For me, it was more than a job, it was my livelihood, my second home. I have met a lot of great people over the years, both members and staff, and have developed friendships that will last a lifetime.”

The board of directors has named Craig Prentice as interim general manager of the club.

Club volleyball makes WHS programs stronger

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman High School (WHS) Senior A Girls volleyball squad is aiming high this season, and their coach feels the team has a legitimate crack at a provincial title.

“We have a very strong, tight-knit team, and the girls are starting to represent themselves well at a very high level. If we bring our ‘A Game’ to regionals on November 14 and 15 in Prince Albert, I think we have a good shot at making it to provincials,” said Peter Schmidt, coach of the WHS senior A girls team. “Provincials are November 21 and 22 in Regina.”

Warman plays in the 5A division, which includes the largest high schools in the province. In regionals, they will go up against Prince Albert St. Mary’s, PA Carlton, Meadow Lake, North Battleford Comprehensive, North Battleford John Paul II, Melfort and Meadow Lake.

The top three teams from the region move on to provincials.

The Senior A Girls team has won gold and silver at two of the six tournaments they’ve competed in so far this year, and were edged in a heartbreaker for bronze in their home tournament.

Schmidt said the real success of the volleyball program at the high school is due to the club volleyball programs in the community. Organized by volunteers including Betty Bird, Kevin Davis, Jill Bird and others, the club programs at the Legends Centre run through the spring and summer. The programs have generated interest and enthusiasm among youngsters that has carried over into the high school programs.

“We’ve never had this many kids playing volleyball in the school before,” said Schmidt. “We have four girls teams, including Senior A, Senior B, Junior A and Junior B. It’s just going to get bigger and better.”

Home-schooled students step into spotlight

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Every school has its class clown.

But who would have suspected a group of home-schooled students would have so many?

It’s all part of the act for about 30 youngsters who are taking the stage later this month with their production of “Stop Sending in the Clowns.”.

The home-schooled students, who range in age from five years to mid-teens, are part of a drama club known as the Prairie Spirit Theatre Company.

The students all live in communities within the northern part of the Prairie Spirit School Division.

This marks the seventh annual play put on the by the group, featuring a cast made up entirely of students. Parents of the students handle the directing, lighting, promotion and stage managing chores.

For the past several years, the play has been staged in the Brian King Centre in Warman, but this year, they’re making the move to the theatre in the Warman Community Middle School attached to the Legends Centre. The play is slated for evening performances on Friday, November 21 and Saturday, November 22.

“It’s definitely the highlight of the school year,” said Nicholas Gilbey, who along with castmate Ethan Ens has been part of all seven productions. “It’s challenging, but it’s also a lot of fun.”

Gilbey plays the role of “wan-

na-be ringmaster” Bailout of the “Barnum and Bailout” travelling circus. SaraLyn Andres plays Barnum, his business partner and sometimes-rival. The aptly-named show is wavering on the verge of bankruptcy; and the banker, Beulah Von Schmellie, portrayed

by Emlie Martin, and her two henchmen are looking to foreclose and snap up the assets.

Meanwhile the Sheriff and his Deputy show up on the trail of smugglers while investigating counterfeit money, petty theft and a missing persons case.

“There’s a lot of sub-plot lines that all end up coming together in the end,” said Ens. “It’s a comedy-mystery. We’d love to tell you more but everything we say would be a spoiler alert.”

While several of the students have been in previous productions, there are many who are setting foot on stage for the first time.

“I think I’ll be a little nervous on opening night,” said Mackenzie Krahn, a rookie thespian who plays the role of Dixie in the production. “I’ve been working on my Texas accent and learning my lines.

I have to say ‘y’all’ in a slow drawl a few times.”

The students have been holding weekly rehearsals since early September, but have stepped it up to twice weekly, and are doing it in costume, as opening night looms closer. They agree the hardest part, besides memorizing their lines and knowing their cues, is figuring out how to get into their

“At first you start out just reciting the lines, but after a while you start to see why your character says the things she does, and how she thinks,” said

Emilie Martin. “Then it all starts to make more sense.”

The play is directed by Shelley Gilbey. Teena Ens is the stage manager. The show is set for the new Warman Theatre

in November 21 and 22 at the Legends Centre-Warman Community Middle School. Admission is $5 per person. Tickets are available by calling Lynn at 306-381-8682.

Jersey Day SCC Meeting

Storefront Program Warman High School has offered a Storefront program for 13 years. Its primary function is to support students from grades 10-12 with one-toone instruction, modular instruction and online instruction. Attendance is flexible to encourage students to attend when it is best for them. Students may begin a class at any time in the school year, carry work over a semester or a summer and with the permission of school administration, take one or more classes in the regular school. In the latter situation, students are expected to follow the regular expectations of students at WHS. Storefront is a good option for upgrading core classes and for students who work, especially shift work. There is staff support in English, History, Biology, and Math.

MIRACLE BABY Born with serious heart defect, youngster becomes an inspiration for family, friends

He may have been born with only half a heart, but it’s a very big heart nonetheless.

Asher Bernard has already endured one risky open-heart surgery when he was only eleven days old. He’s due to go through another major operation in two to four months, and a third open-heart procedure before the age of three years.

Meanwhile, his par- “All the doctors say it’s a ents, Kailey and Dean Bernard, and his big miracle he’s still with us sister, two-year-old Kamara, are treasur- today.

gy, we need an ultrasound machine, we need an x-ray machine. They started giving him oxygen right away, and they started pumping him full of fluid, and then took him up to intensive care.”

At about 6:00 o’clock in the morning, a doctor came into the waiting room and told Kailey and Dean that their son had been diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which basically means the left half of the heart was under-developed.

In Asher’s case, the left half is so small it’s almost non-existent.

Treatment for hypoplastic left heart syndrome requires either a three-step surgical procedure called staged palliation or a heart transplant. Staged palliation consists of the “Norwood Procedure” performed shortly after birth; the bi-directional “Glenn Operation” which is performed when the infant is about six months old; and the “Fontan Operation” performed between 18 to 36 months after the Glenn Operation.

The condition is normally detected through ultrasounds while the unborn baby is still in the womb. At birth, the baby is whisked away to the operating room to undergo the Norwood Procedure as soon as possible.

In Asher’s case, the ultrasound tests failed to reveal his heart defect. The fact that he managed to survive on his own for 48 hours without the operation has amazed doctors and nurses, who consider it nothing short of miraculous.

After being diagnosed at RUH on September 9, Asher was airlifted to Edmonton in critical condition where he underwent the Norwood Procedure on September 17, when he was only 11 days old. His parents drove to Edmonton and stayed with him for two weeks.

He was later airlifted back to Saskatoon where he spent three weeks in RUH before his parents were able to take him home.

Kailey said while their son’s condition is relatively rare, there were several babies born with the same heart defect in

Asher Bernard was born September September 6, but was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome two days later. Doctors consider it a miracle that he survived on his own before being airlifted to Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton for emergency surgery. the space of a single month at RUH. “For some reason, four were born here in a single month,” she said. “On the positive side, we were able to meet other parents whose children have the same problem, so we were able to talk to them and get support that way too.”

Asher is slated to undergo the Glenn Operation sometime in the next two to four months.

The big challenge right now, said Dean, is for the baby to gain weight and strength before the operation. Asher has so far gained less than a pound from his birth weight, even

though he is about two months old.

“This is the most critical time right now,” said Dean.

“This has the highest rate of sudden death for babies. But we monitor him, and we’re feeding him every few hours to try and build up his strength.”

Kailey and Dean say support from the community of Dalmeny and their workplaces has been overwhelming. A fundraiser social last month raised money to help with their unexpected expenses, and the Kinsmen Telemiracle Foundation also helped with travel expenses. “We want to say

thanks,” said Dean. “It’s very appreciated.”

Kailey and Dean said the experience has brought home to them how fragile and precious life is.

“All the doctors say it’s a miracle he’s still with us today,” said Dean. “You never know how quickly life can change.

We thought we had a perfectly healthy baby, and then we find out he has this life-threatening condition and needs three open-heart surgeries before he’s three years old. It sure puts things into perspective. We don’t take anything for granted.”

Metastatic breast cancer diagnosis a heavy burden to live with: Baudais

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

A terminal illness is not an easy topic to talk about, especially when a small portion of the population is affected by the disease.

Nathalie Baudais has metastatic breast cancer, which is an incurable advanced form of the disease.

This year in association with the Canadian Breast Cancer Network (CBCN), Baudais took part in a Living a Legacy Campaign with the goal of raising awareness and helping women gain better access to the latest drugs and supports to help with this form of breast cancer.

Baudais, who is originally from Wakaw but currently lives in the Resort Village of Thode, south of Saskatoon, was

Natalie Baudais diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in 2008. After beating the disease, she was in remission for 2.5 years before the disease returned, but this time

it was a death sentence she is now forced to live with for the rest of her life.

“Metastatic breast cancer is Stage 4 and it is incurable. We are trying to raise awareness and get the message out there that there are some of us who have this form of the disease as well,” said Baudais.

“A lot of the funds raised right now are going to early awareness and early detection,” she added. “I think we are losing out on opportunities for drugs that will keep us stable longer and give us a higher quality of life.”

Baudais said there currently is no record in Canada of what percentage of breast cancer funding is directed toward the metastatic form, but she said in the United States anywhere from two to seven per-

cent of funds raised for cancer research goes to metastatic breast cancer. And about 30 per cent of the patients have metastatic.

“If we could get those dollars in Canada up to that 20 percent range, it would make a huge difference,” said Baudais.

Diana Ermel, who is on the CBCN’s board of directors and past chair said the Living Legacy Campaign is also about bringing people with metastatic breast cancer together.

“The living legacy campaign is really about having the voice of people with metastatic breast cancer heard and understood,” said Ermel “People who are diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer don’t often know anybody else with it and don’t have anyone else to talk to.”

In Canada there are an esti-

mated 20,000 women who have metastatic breast cancer, said Baudais.

“It is really hard to find someone in your geographic location. Though the Living Legacy campaign I was part of a committee so I met three others who are metastatic. We are across Canada and I know of two others in Regina, but that’s about it that I met so far,” said Baudais.

In October CBCN lobbied the federal government to try and get October 13 recognized as Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, which is an obvious need, according to Baudais.

“October is such a wash of pink and most of us with metastatic feel that we don’t affiliate with that message. We feel separated from those diagnosed

with early stage breast cancer,” said Baudais. “We always say I don’t want to run for the cure.

If I do give me the black shirt.

That’s why I don’t go to a lot of support groups that don’t have metastatic breast cancer because you feel like you are the worst nightmare for people in that group.”

It has been a little over a year since Baudais has received treatment for cancer. She has no signs of cancer in her body, but understands that may change.

“The stage of this disease where I am at right now is the best that a metastatic patient can hope for. I am always very fortunate when I get to this stage. It is like I bought myself a free pass for however many months,” said Baudais.

Prairie Spirit Schools Foundation promotes community involvement Prairie Spirit School Division has announced the establishment of the Prairie Spirit Schools Foundation.

The Foundation has been created to encourage and facilitate community and corporate support and involvement in public education.

The funds raised through this charitable Foundation will be used to enhance learning opportunities for the students of Prairie Spirit School Division.

Prairie Spirit School Division is the progressive urban and rural school division that surrounds the City of Saskatoon.

The school division has experienced tremendous growth for nine years in a row and currently has over 10,300 students in its 45 schools.

“We know the business community and our local community are interested in supporting

public education,” said Bonnie Hope, Prairie Spirit Board of Education Trustee and Chair of the Foundation Board. “Creating the Foundation provides a way for businesses and the community to financially support education in their community.”

The Foundation will support a variety of innovative learning opportunities for students, with transitions to careers for senior students as one example.

The Prairie Spirit Schools Foundation Board of Directors includes: Bonnie Hope, Chair, Larry Pavloff, Sam Dyck, Sharon Baron, Sharon Compton,

Joan Heath, David Wipf, Robyn Richards and Brenda Erickson.

The Foundation will be formally introduced to the community at a special launch event on Thursday, November 20 at the Prairie Spirit School Division Office in Warman.

Inaugural Executive Director of PSS Foundation Deb Donaldson, the Foundation’s inaugural Executive Director, began her work with the Foundation at the end of August.

She has ten years of experience accessing and securing funding to support community-based programs and services.

She held a Director’s position with a non-profit organization for over seven years where she successfully negotiated millions of dollars of funding to support the organization’s many community programs.

Donaldson worked collaboratively with business, federal and provincial governments and with Métis and First Nations organizations to ensure these programs were efficient, effective and successful.

Donaldson graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with an Education Degree and an Arts Degree in Native Studies.

Highways construction work to continue through winter As highway paving tapers off this fall, highway winter work kicks into high gear at bridge and culvert sites across Saskatchewan.

“Cold winter weather is a positive when it comes to certain types of construction,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said.

“Freeze up allows cost-effective work on bridges as platforms can be placed on ice. We are also able to continue culvert replacements.”

In addition, gravel hauling takes place over the winter to minimize impact on frozen highways in preparation for next year’s construction season.

WORK ON 305 CONTINUES

While the realigned Highway 305 between Highway 12 adnd Highway 11 was opened to traffic October 26, work will be continuing on sections of that road. Light standards and signage will be installed at various locations. Acceleration and turning lanes are also being added on Highway 11 at the junction with the new Highway 305 north of Warman.

Construction work is also slated to begin on a portion of Highway 305 west of Highway 12 to the Dalmeny Access Road.

The $12.5 million project involves upgrading 6.6 kilometers of the existing highway.

HIGHWAY 16 TWINNING

Grading work is continuing on a $28.7 million project invlving twinning of Highway 16 near Clavet. Work on the project began September 3, and involves 19 kilometers of grading, stretching from one kilometer west of its intersection with the Bradwell Access to nine kilometers east of its junction with Highway 11.

QUARTER-FINAL TRIUMPH Wolverines decimate Saints, advance to semi-final

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Warman Wolverines punched their ticket to the provincial 3A nine-man high school provincial semi-final round with an impressive 53-0 win over the visiting Yorkton Sacred Heart Saints on Saturday November 1 in Warman.

With the win, the Wolverines head to Melville next Saturday to take on the Melville Comprehensive School Cobras. The Cobras downed the visiting Martensville Royals by a score of 48-29 in quarter-final action November 1.

The Wolverines defense was the story of the game, as they didn’t allow the Saints a single first down until the final minute of the game (and that came on a penalty call against Warman). The Wolverines put up a brick wall that the Saints just couldn’t penetrate.

“They say defense wins games, and we saw a good example of that here today,” said Warman coach Tyler Scheidt after the game. “Our defense played great as a unit. Everybody showed up and contributed.”

The defense also had two interceptions in the third quarter, one by Simon Shabaga and the other by Brandon McKimmon, both of which set the table for offensive touchdowns.

Warman dominated the game from the opening kickoff, holding Yorkton to a two-andout and then marching the ball downfield for a touchdown on their first drive. By half-time the Wolverines had built up a 33-0 lead.

Warman running back Damien Delnea and quarter-

back Josh Misskey each had two touchdowns in the game, while Jayson Lindo, Tyler Hume and Kaylen Beaulac also scored majors. Kicker Justin Chaskavich contributed an 18yard field goal and added six converts. The Saints conceded a two-point safety touch in the second quarter.

Despite racking up over 50 points, Scheidt said the Wolverines’ offense needed to improve heading into next week’s semifinal game.

“I thought our offense was okay, but there’s areas we need to be better,” he said. “We had

to move some guys around on offense this week, and with practice they should be more comfortable with their assignments.”

If Warman wins in Melville next weekend, they will host the provincial final at Neufeld Field in Warman on Saturday, November 15. But Scheidt said there was no chance of his players looking past next week’s game.

“We won’t allow that to happen,” he said with a determined grin. “We’ll work on that all week long and make sure the guys are ready to go.”

Delisle downs Broadview Rebels host Comets in Delisle November 8

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Delisle Rebels have their work cut out for them this weekend when they host the Melfort Comets.

The Rebels earned the right to host one of two 3A nine-man high school football semi-final games after downing Broadview 31-9 in a quarter-final matchup on Saturday November 1 in Broadview. If they win this Saturday,, November 8 (game time is 1:00 p.m.) they’ll compete for the provincial championship on November 15.

“It’s going to be a tough game, no question about it,” said Jaren Vetter, an assistant coach with the Delisle Rebels in an interview on Monday, November 3. “Melfort is probably the number-one seed team in the province. They’re big, strong, and well-coached.

This is the fourth year in a row we’ve gone up against them in the playoffs.”

Vetter said the Rebels have gone a lot further this season than a lot of people expected.

“Frankly, at the beginning of the season, we didn’t think we’d make it this far,” said Vetter. “We figured this would be a bit of a rebuilding year, since we only have three Grade 12 players on the team. But it’s a testament to the determination and abilities of these kids that they’ve made it to the final four.”

Vetter said despite the wide margin of victory in Broadview last weekend, the game was no cake walk.

“We actually gave up the first score,” said Vetter. “We were down 6-0 early on, but we tied it after the first quarter.

“In the second quarter, we made some adjustments on defense to neutralize what they were doing, and our offense also started to get rolling.”

Vetter said Rebels running back Sam Michnik, who’s been the team’s go-to guy most of the season, came through with some big plays.

“We set the tone in the second quarter and then started to pull away for the rest of the game,” said Vetter.

He said even though the team is young, with a lot of starting Grade 10s and 11s, the players have learned to make adjustments on the fly.

Clavet Cougars headed to semi-final

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Clavet Cougars got one step closer to the provincial 2A nine-man high school football final with a convincing 35-18 win over Indian Head on Saturday November 1.

Cougars coach Shaun Priel was happy with his team’s effort.

“It is a difficult game when you get to the playoffs where you have a feeling-out process early in the game,” said Priel. “Both defences played well throughout the first quarter.

Our kids just continued to push and created some good offence on some good runs.”

The Cougars took control early in the game, creating a

28-6 cushion at half time.

In the first quarter the Cougars were forced to go to a passing game, with Indian Head not giving up much defensively, said Priel.

Graham Beresh, Bailey Royer, Ethan Parker and Aaron Gosselin added the majority of the Cougars’ scoring punch in the game, which was pretty balanced, said Priel.

“The scoring was spread around pretty well and it’s hard for a team to control when they can’t key in on a few guys,” said Priel.

Priel said Indian Head came down from the 3A category and won the province last year.

He said both coaches shared game film heading into the game to give each team a fair

THE

chance to prepare for the quarter-final matchup.

Priel said this is an effective tool for preparation but is not foolproof.

“Watching film gives you systems and schemes that guys play but it doesn’t give you a true measure of the talent the other team has,” said Priel.

“They have big powerful kids and it is not until you play a game that it is really recognized.”

The win will advance the Cougars to play Lumsden in the semi-final next weekend and will serve as a rematch against a team that defeated the Cougars in last year’s final.

Hague Panthers edged in final Hanley falls to Eatonia in quarter-final seconds by North Valley Eagles

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Hague Panthers dropped a 42-41 heartbreaker to the host North Valley High School Eagles in Lemberg on Saturday, November 1.

With the loss, the Panthers were bounced from the provincial 1A six-man high school football playoffs.

But it was a heck of a game right up until the final few seconds.

“In a nutshell, we scored a touchdown and took the lead with two and half minutes to go in the game,” said Panthers coach Clay Kirby in an interview on Monday, November 3. “All we had to do was make the (two-point) convert and that would give us a big enough cushion to secure the win.”

But the ball bounced off the upright.

The Eagles roared back, and with 28 seconds left in the game, scored a touchdown and connected on a two-point kicking convert to seal the victory by a single point.

“They were on our five yard line and it was third down, so they gambled,” said Kirby. “They were able to get the touchdown and convert, and we just didn’t have enough time on the clock to get back downfield and try for a field goal.”

Panthers quarterback Austin Thiessen threw for 300 yards and ran for two touchdowns in the game.

Running back Brent Fehr scored three touchdowns and played both ways. Kevin Loewen scored a touchdown and played outstanding on both offense and defense, and Brent Gossen played one of the best games of his high school career.

Kirby said while the loss was disappointing for the Grade 12 players who won’t

14112WW00

have another crack at the championship, the school’s high school football program is in great shape for next year and the year after.

He noted that the younger players, including kicker Dalton Duprez, are going to be chomping at the bit to go all the way next year.

Kirby said the team beefed up its defensive play for the game against Lemberg.

“We really worked on our blocking all week in practice before the game,” said Kirby.

“We put in a place a new system that worked really well, and the guys took it to another level.”

“It was a barnburner,” he added. “The lead went back and forth all game. It was a crazy, exciting game, and the fans really got their money’s worth.”

The Hanley Sabers fell to the Eatonia Spartans by a score of 65-30 in their 1A sixman football championship quarter final on Saturday, November 1.

It was a tough way to end the season, but the team did better than many expected, said coach Mark Anderson.

“We’re a young team,” said Anderson in an interview on Monday, November 3. “With only four Grade 12 players, we

relied heavily on Grade 10s and 11s to be our starters, and they picked up a lot of good experience which will help us next year and the year after.

If someone had told us at the beginning of the season that we would make the provincial quarter finals, we would have been thrilled.”

Anderson said the Sabers just weren’t able to match Eatonia’s speed. “Six man football is all about being quick,”

he said.

Anderson gave a nod to the graduating players: Damon Prystupa, Reid Ashdown, Teagan Hamilton and Conrad Olson.

“These guys played a big leadership role on the team this year,” he said.

“I’m really proud of all the guys. They’re a good bunch to coach and they grew a lot this year.”

• 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.

Cobras strangle Royals’ playoff bid

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Martensville Royals roared out of the gate in their quarter-final game against the Melville Cobras last Saturday in Melville, but a disastrous second quarter torpedoed their first-ever post-season playoff run.

“We were winning 8-0 at the end of the first quarter,” said Royals coach Lyle Evanisky in an interview after the game.

“But we gave up 27 points in the second quarter. We had some costly turnovers, and there were a few questionable

calls that definitely shifted the momentum in Melville’s favour.”

By the end of the half the score was 27-15 for the Cobras.

After that the wheels fell off the bus completely for the Royals.

“Offensively, we couldn’t seem to move the ball and things got out of hand,” said Evanisky.

“They’re a big team, and they wore us down. But the boys battled and kept on fighting right to the end.”

Evanisky said even though the team is disappointed with their early playoff exit, the fact they made it to the provincial playoffs for the first time marks

“This is probably the most dedicated group of kids I’ve had in terms of being in meetings and watching films and showing up for practices,” he said.

Offensive line will be key for Delisle “That’s been the difference in a lot of games,” said Vetter. “There’s been a few games where we’ve come out kind of sluggish, but we’ve made adjustments and the kids were able to make plays when it counted, and ultimately win those close games.”

Vetter said the challenge in this weekend’s game against

Melfort will be to establish dominance on the offensive line.

“We know we’re going to be in tough against a big team like Melfort. We’re undersized, so we have to use our speed,” said Vetter. “We have to know our playbook and execute effectively. We can’t afford to have any sloppy plays like dropped balls

or missed tackles.”

If the Rebels have an advantage, it’s playing on their home turf.

“We should have a good crowd out,” said Vetter. “Our boys play with more intensity and confidence at home, and the energy of the fans is like the extra, tenth man that will give us a bit of a boost as well.”
