The operator of this northbound half-ton truck careened off Centennial Drive North in Martensville, through a drainage ditch, over a driveway and crashed through a chain link fence in the early morning hours of November 14 excess of the legal limit. He was later released on a promise to appear in court to face charges of impaired driving.” The man sustained minor injuries in the crash. He was
treated on the scene by first responders, and did not require transport to hospital. Martensville Fire Department responded to the crash with two units. Warman-Mar-
tensville RCMP officers were also on scene. By 7:30 a.m. most of the responders had finished clearing the scene, but police were still investigating the cause of the crash.
Speed limit reduction extended on Highway 12 The 90 km/h speed limit zone on Highway 12 at Martensville is being extended. Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said on Friday, November 14 that the reduced speed limit is being extended on Highway 12 to south of Lutheran Road (Township Road 382). The new area covered by the reduced speed limit takes effect immediately. The objective is to improve safety on Highway 12 at Martensville, according to Heppner. “It’s important to recognize this is a very busy highway and while we’re always striving to improve safety, we all have a responsibility to drive safely,”

Driver faces charges after Martensville crash A 28-year-old man from the Warman area was arrested on charges of impaired driving following a single vehicle collision in Martensville during the early morning hours of Friday, November 14. The crash happened around 6:30 a.m. when a northbound pickup truck lost control and hit a culvert in the 500 block of Centennial Drive North in Martensville, according to Warman RCMP Sergeant Warren Gherasim. After striking the culvert, the truck became airborne and subsequently slammed into a chain link fence and also damaged a light standard. “Police attended the scene and found a 2008 red Chevrolet Silverado truck had left the roadway and was found in a ditch,” said Gherasim. “A 28year old man from the Warman area was located who exhibited signs of alcohol consumption. That man was arrested and taken to the Martensville RCMP detachment office where he provided breath samples in

said Heppner. A speed limit reduction pilot project was introduced in two locations in Saskatchewan this past June including the location on Highway 12. According to the provincial Highways Ministry, the results seen to date have been very positive and the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure has received positive feedback from the RCMP, municipal governments and other stakeholders. Highways Ministry communications spokesperson Joel Cherry said while hard statistical evidence is difficult to quantify in the short time period that the reduced speed limit at
Martensville has been in effect, the “anecdotal evidence” is significant. “The RCMP has told us the reduced speed limit has had a distinct calming effect on the traffic,” said Cherry. “The local municipal government has also indicated there are more gaps in the traffic, which makes left turns easier and safer.” Cherry said similar anecdotal evidence has also been reported at the other locations where the pilot project is in place. He said the ministry will continue to monitor its impact on safety and other locations could be considered in the future if these positive results continue.
The speed limit reductions are the most recent measures among a number of improvements the province has made on these roads to enhance safety. Additional safety features added in recent years include acceleration and turning lanes, ramps, enhanced signing and photo speed enforcement. Highway 12 at Martensville is one of the locations that have been selected for photo speed enforcement with construction and installation currently underway. The public will be notified once cameras are operational. There will also be a two-month warning period to give drivers a chance to adjust to the program.

Despite the sweltering heat in the Colorado desert, firefighters taking the Tank Car Specialist course don haz-mat suits during a train derailment scenario
Fire crews learn how to deal with hazardous materials in train derailments By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
In the remote desert about 20 miles outside of Pueblo, Colorado, under a blistering cloudless sky, a team of about 40 firefighters from across the United States and Canada are learning how to deal with a potentially disastrous train derailment. Despite the sweltering temperatures, they don “haz-mat” suits and oxygen tanks as they prepare to contain a major spill from a simulated ten-car train wreck. The haz-mat suits are like wearing a plastic bag, and the temperature inside them climbs when the individual does anything strenuous. Their time in the suits is also limited by the oxygen levels in their breathing apparatus. It’s all part of a week-long “Tank Car Specialist” training course run by the Security and Emergency Response Training Center (SERTC). Operated by the Association of American Railroads (which includes both CN Rail and CP Rail), SERTC trains railroad officials, emergency responders, chemical company workers, and government agencies in how to deal with derailments involving hazardous materials. The courses range from five to ten days and involve scenariobased emergencies that provide students with both hands-on experience and advanced theory. With a CN main line running through his community, Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder had plenty of reasons for enroll-
Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder ing in the 40-hour long Tank Car Specialist course in early October. The fire chief from Humboldt also attended. “It was very worthwhile,” said Elder in a recent interview. “It was all about mitigating potential damage and keeping people safe. I now have a much better understanding about best practices when it comes to handling hazardous materials if a train derailment does occur. “You like to think it won’t, happen, but with so much rail traffic these days, the odds are mounting. I’m paid to be a pessimist, so I want to be familiar with worst-case scenarios. The scariest situation you can be in is when you’re dealing with the unknown.” The course provided emergency responders with the kowledge they need to identify different types of rail cars, the nomenclature and design features of various types of
cars, the types of commodities they carry and common types of leaks resulting from derailments. Students learned containment measures, product transfer techniques, and liquid or vapor flaring options to dispose of materials if necessary. Students earning their course certificate came away with the knowledge and technical skills needed to effectively manage an emergency situation involving hazardous materials. “The first day down there I was pretty much overwhelmed,” said Elder with a grin. “It definitely wasn’t a vacation. There’s a lot of material to go through and it’s also a very physically-demanding course.” Elder said the desert itself was a new experience. “It was a little disconcerting having to watch out for rattlesnakes and tarantulas,” he said. Elder said the railway companies have their own dangerous goods officers who are specially trained in these types of situations, and these individuals work closely with local emergency responders at the scene. One of CN’s dangerous goods officers is Ryan Thiessen, who is based out of Saskatoon and who is also the fire chief at Duck Lake. “Ryan was one of the instructors for the course,” said Elder. “They have the expertise and they’re part of every containment and clean-up situation when a derailment occurs. If a situation like that happened in our region, the Saskatoon Fire Department also has speciallytrained personnel that we can draw on. Ultimately everyone works as a team. To have that level of advanced training and equipment in a smaller department like Dalmeny isn’t realistic.
The wreckage of tank cars containing a range of hazardous chemicals and petroleumbased commodities lies strewn on the desert sand in a mock derailment “But as a local emergency response agency we can, and should, have the knowledge we need to make the experts’ job easier and to contain any potential damage. “I definitely feel more confident dealing with any potential disaster that might happen here.” Elder said the railways are being proactive in educating local emergency responders. He noted they provide training locally and also pay the tuition at SERTC courses for individuals selected to attend. “They’re making good investments in local response

agencies,” said Elder. “We’re not a rich department, and to be able to take this training is invaluable. I would highly recommend it to any of the firefighters in this area if they get the opportunity to go.” Elder said the fire department is working with the new Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) Coordinator in Dalmeny, firefighter Devin King, to update the community’s EMO plan. (Lt. Joanne Elder, who has served as Dalmeny’s EMO Coordinator for many years, has stepped away from the position.) Elder said the training re-
ceived at the course will prove invaluable in the event a major derailment ever occurs in the region. He’s hopeful more firefighters in the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association (made up of Dalmeny, Langham, Osler, Warman and Martensville) will receive training locally. The Warman Fire Department has already had training from CN Rail using a specially-designed trailer aimed at familiarizing firefighters with the various types of valves and shut-offs found on most container cars. “It’s a good investment in public safety,” said Elder.

‘THERE’S SOMEONE TRAPPED INSIDE’ Young woman bravely attempted to rescue crash victim from burning vehicle By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
When Sara Morrison first saw the smoke in the distance as she was driving home from work on Friday, August 30, 2013, she thought it was a baler fire. The farm girl from Langham was used to seeing that sort of thing during harvest season. It wasn’t until she got closer that she realized it was a burning vehicle. There had been a terrible collision at the intersection of the Langham Grid and Lutheran Road. The violent crash had resulted in the southbound car spinning out of control, where it entered the ditch and caught fire. A man from Christopher Lake was trapped inside. Without hesitating, Morrison instinctively ran to the car and attempted to open the driver’s side door, but it wouldn’t open. Despite the danger of an explosion, she kept trying to force her way in until the fire engulfed everything and she had to retreat. While the unconscious man in the car perished in the flames, Morrison was recognized for her selfless act of bravery at a ceremony in Regina on Thursday, November 6. She received the Royal Canadian Humane Association Bravery Award from Saskatchewan Lt.-Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield at Government House. But Morrison shrugs off the suggestion she’s a hero. “I think anybody would have done the same thing in that situation,” she said in an interview at her home on a farm south of Langham on Friday, November 14. “I don’t remember a lot of it because it all happend so fast. I guess I was going on adrenaline because I was shaking pretty bad afterwards. I still have nightmares about it, and I’m terrified of accidents now.” Morrison said she had buried most of the bad memories until the award ceremony in Regina brought everything back. She found herself crying at the event as she relived the day of that tragedy: “I had just finished work, and I had picked up my best friend, Miranda, and we were on our way home to pick up our stuff to go camping, because it was the September long weekend.” she said. “I was driving down Lutheran Road and I saw smoke in the distance. I thought it was a baler on fire because it was that time of year. Then we got closer and I saw it was a big accident. I jumped out and I asked if everyone was okay, and the woman who was in the other vehicle said there was a man trapped in the car that was on fire. So I turned around and I yelled to Miranda to call 911. The lady that was in the other car tried to get the door open and I went to help. I don’t remember it feeling hot, but I do remember right where we were grabbing, beside the window, it was all burnt. “We couldn’t get the door open because that was the side that had been hit, and it was crumpled in, and we couldn’t go to the other side because the gas tank was on fire. It was on fire beside us too but on the gas tank side the flames were streaming out. “The man inside the vehicle was unconscious, and his seat was broken so he was leaned all the way back into the back
seat, and his legs were pinned underneath the dash and the steering column.” The Langham Fire Department arrived as quickly as they could, but by the time they got there the vehicle was fully engulfed. “By the time the firefighters got there it was pretty much gone,” she said. “Just the frame of the vehicle was left.” Morrison said the police at the secene advised her and her friend to carry on as best they could, and the women left the following morning for Memorial Lake. Ironically, while driving on Highway 12 between Blaine Lake and Shell Lake on Saturday, August 31, they very nearly had to deal with another tragedy. “We were driving along and suddenly, a man jumped out onto the highway right in front of my jeep,” said Morrison. “It was like he was trying to com-
mit suicide.” She jammed on her brakes and barely avoided hitting the man. “So we had to deal with that too,” she said. “I was shaking all over again.” Morrison said she had no idea the Royal Canadian Humane Association had chosen her for a bravery medal. In fact, she had never heard of the group until she got a letter in the mail on September 19. “When I got the letter I actually thought it was from PETA because it said ‘humane association’,” she said. “I almost threw it out without opening it.” Sara and her parents, along with her grandmother from Quebec, went to the ceremony in Regina. “It was very nerve-wracking,” said Morrison. “I got very nervous. I just wanted to melt into the floor. I was a little embarrassed and self-conscious. I

didn’t want everybody to hear the story. But when they did tell the story, I started crying because it brought it all back.”
Morrison said she’s always asked if she’ll become a first responder. “No,” she said. “I’d make a
terrible emergency responder. I couldn’t deal with it. I can’t really even stand the sight of blood and I hate needles.”

Newest Delisle town councilors ready for challenges ahead By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Town of Delisle added one new councilor and welcomed back a familiar face during a byelection held October 22. Two council seats were up for grabs when councilors Rob Ouelette and Derek Kirsch decided to step down, leading to a call for nominations, September 17. The town had four nominations. Newcomer Ryan King was the front runner in the field; he was elected with 81
votes. Cara Brunett, who served on council from 2000 to 2003, was also elected with 72 votes out of a total of 120 residents that voted. King, who is a civil engineer with AECOM Canada in Saskatoon, said he was encouraged by residents in the community to throw his hat in the ring. “I thought I could make a bit of a difference in bringing some of my ideas and skills from the business side of things to help the community make decisions and point the community in
certain directions on certain things,” said King. Providing advice and sitting in on council meetings is not a new concept for King. “I deal with municipalities a lot and go to a lot of council meetings as part of my job. I design water plants, lagoons, water and sewer mains for other municipalities,” said King. “I get exposed to some of their problems and solutions and different scenarios they go through so I could bring that knowledge to Delisle if those type of things come up.”
RM hopes gate curbs criminal activity By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The effectiveness of placing a gate across Range Road 3094 will be put to the test in the coming months to see whether the barricade will deter garbage dumping, stolen vehicle dumping, vandalism and excessive party goers. The motion was passed at the RM of Corman Park council meeting November 3 after years of complaints by area land owners. Landowner Scott Irvine, who was invited to speak to council by Division 8 Councilor Wendy Trask, says enough is enough. “We have been out there for five years. At that time there was really no one on that road so there wasn’t any concern,” said Irvine “Over the years kids have been partying there. More recently we have been having a lot of trouble with vehicles running up and down the road at 2 a.m, trash being dumped and finding stolen vehicles.” Irvine added that residents have also had items stolen from their property and a landowner whose cattle escaped after a fence was run down. The RM debated closing the
summer road for years, however the idea of placing a gate on a road with a keyed access for residents is an option that has never been tested by the RM. Reeve Judy Harwood said she has concerns about the inconvenience a gate would cause for area residents, that people who really want to access the road will simply drive around the gate and garbage dumpers will simply find another location to dump. Division 2 Councilor Michelle Chuhaniuk raised the concern about liability, asking the questions that if a child got hurt and needed medical attention, would a gate hamper the rescue response process? It was a point supported by Harwood. “I think we do need to make sure that we are not closing something that puts us at a liability risk,” said Harwood. Harwood said keyed access would have to be made available to emergency crews. RM of Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore also said the gates would have to be wide enough so that RM equipment can access the road. In an interview with the Clark’s Crossing Gazette, RM
of Corman Park Chief of Police John Garnet said he had never seen or heard of a gate placed on a range road as a deterrent. He believes it will work but it could take time to evaluate how effective it will be. “What will happen is if you put up a gate then 90 per cent will say okay we will go somewhere else and simply drive away,” said Garnet “If you have a 4-wheel drive and you chose to drive around the gate then you may do that but if you are just driving a car maybe you don’t want to drive your car through the ditch.” Division 1 Councilor John Germs asked if an increased police presence would help deter criminal activity. Sgt. Warren Gherasim of the Warman RCMP also said that the size of the RM plus limited staff would prevent adding more police officers to problem areas. He added that gates will only stop those who are not involved in crime. “Typically the type of people stealing these vehicles are youth gang members. They are not concerned with gates. If they really want to go there they will drive through the gates,” said Gherasim.
King moved to Delisle in 2009 and when he is not working you could probably find him at the rink with his three kids. The amazing thing about Delisle that most people don’t realize when they pass the town on the highway is how beautiful it really is, said King. “It is almost a hidden treasure. You get off the highway and drive into Delisle you don’t realize that there is a valley, a little marsh, creek and a golf course all hidden back in there and it is all pretty scenic,” said King. Like all towns, hamlets, villages and cities that surround Saskatoon, growth is a factor that communities are taking into account as they revise their Official Community Plans. This is especially true with the twinning of Highway 7 between Delisle and Vanscoy set to begin next year. King said he would like to see
Delisle grow at a manageable pace. “I am quite familiar with the growth in Warman and that is quite rapid. I think any town, to be healthy, needs growth,” said King. “With that you have to manage growth, which includes having water plants to serve the people, making sure the roads are in good repair and make sure you’ve got amenities.” Brunett said she is excited to be back on council and said the town already does a great job on road repair, recreation and is managed really well. Shortly after having a child in the last year of her first term as councilor, Brunett decided to devote her time to raising her kids. “I had my first child right at the end of my last term and I didn’t know what I would be doing for work after so I thought it would be a good opportunity to get back into it because my
kids are at an age where I can be away for some evening meetings and such.” Brunett formerly held the health and recreation portfolio when she was on council before, but said she is open minded to whatever responsibilities council assigns to her when council portfolios are reassessed in the new year. The most important thing to remember is the councilors’ duty to represent ratepayers and to not push their own initiatives, said Brunett. “I know sometimes that people will run for town council thinking they have these issues that they want addressed. I feel that is the wrong perspective to take,” said Brunett. “Walking into council with an agenda is not the best use of your time. You need to walk in there look at the things being raised at that table and work on them together.”

Our Federal Debt: Federal government learns little from last year If you don’t recall where rural Saskatchewan was at a year ago, allow me to refresh your memory.
The Elephant In The Room By AARON WUDRICK
Federal Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation
COMMENTARY
Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver had some welcome news during the release of the fall fiscal update: Canada’s federal deficit is projected to finally be eliminated next year. With a surplus now expected for 2015-16 and an election under a year away, the political battle lines have started to be drawn. The government is promising tax breaks, mainly in the form of income splitting for families, as well as direct payments to families with children. The NDP is countering with an expensive new national childcare program, modeled after the failing Quebec system. It is normal and healthy in politics for there to be a difference of opinion about which direction the government should go. Contrasting policies gives Canadians clearer choices about how to cast a ballot come Election Day. Oddly enough though, there’s one big issue – massive in fact – that doesn’t seem to be a big part of the discussion. It’s our federal debt. You may be surprised to hear Canada’s federal debt alone (which doesn’t count any provincial or municipal debt) is currently at around $613 billion. That’s an increase of $154 billion since 2008, when the government made the unfortunate decision to plunge us into deficit in the name of fighting the recession. Canada’s debt is more than double the amount of all the money the federal government spends in a single year. Six years later, the light is at the end of the tunnel, and we’re close to being able to say we are no longer adding any new charges to the national credit card. Great news – except that doesn’t change the fact we’ve still got an eye-watering balance of $613 billion to pay off, which is racking up interest by the minute. Thankfully, interest rates are low for the moment, but even now it costs more than $28 billion a year to service our debt. That’s $28 billion that could have been spent on other things important to Canadians – or put back in their pockets. It is a strange irony that the same politicians, who often talk about the need to invest in government programs, or to protect the environment, justify their policies as benefitting “future generations,” and yet they have little to say about our public debt load. They speak about fighting unfairness and injustice – but not when it comes to the unfairness and injustice of future generations being stuck with the bills being run up by those of us consuming today. The government, to their credit, has made some positive statements about reducing the federal debt; by pledging to get it down to below 25 per cent of our GDP by 2021 (it currently stands at around 32 per cent). This isn’t good enough. Arguably, these targets could be met by modest growth in the economy, without one red cent going towards debt repayment. The more aggressively we tackle the debt, the more money we free up for other things – whether government spending or (hopefully) tax relief, and the less burden we leave on future generations. There is no hiding from the elephant in the room. Whatever direction future governments decide to take, the size of our debt will affect their ability to pay for government services. Over the next year, the public should demand all parties come clean about what their plans are to tackle our debt. The well-being of future generations depends on it.

Provincial Politics
The province; all of Western Canada, for that matter; had just recorded its biggest crop in history. A cool spring gave way to a hot, damp July and August that proved to be perfect growing conditions for grain, oilseed and pulse crops. The first frost held off long enough for farmers to bring in this bumper crop, but winter did arrive with a vengeance. Blasts of snow and cold from the polar vortex kept temperatures below seasonal for most of the winter months. This bad weather did account for some of train delays experienced by CN and CP Rail in shipping this bumper crop. There can be no denying that. But a far, far bigger factor in the poor movement of grain was shareholders’ greed that has resulted in both railways selling off cars and engines and focusing on the movement of far-more-profitable oil. What was good for shareholders; and certainly rail executives like CP President Hunter Harrison who made $49.1 million in salary and stock options in 2012; was bad for farmers. Of course, the railways did what they have been rather good at for a century now. They blamed the weather. And they blamed the grain companies when Saskatchewan Economy Minister Bill Boyd confronted them with pictures he had requested on the farm website Agriville.com of cars sitting idle at terminals.
considerably less spectacular crop already delayed by an unseasonably wet harvest that extended into late October. The bins are again full on many Saskatchewan farms, but that’s sometimes because the grains, oilseeds and pulses from last year have not yet moved. And politicians; at least on the provincial level; are again talking about what can be done to prevent an even more disastrous repeat of last year. At the recent gathering of the North West Partnership in Regina, B.C. Premier Christy Clark, Alberta Premier Jim Prentice and Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall concluded Ottawa should invest $1.5 billion in transportation to ease the problem. Japan is no longer buying western Canadian wheat for the first time in 40 years, Wall told reporters. And he explained how officials from a
Malaysian milling operation told him there is no point in ordering Saskatchewan product in November and December because they can’t rely on it getting there. The premiers did bring various stakeholders into the conversation. including the grain companies, railways and federal government, represented by Prince Albert MP Randy Hoback. Ritz was off in China with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. And questions remain whether that $100,000 a day fine for the railways has been reduced to $100,000 a week; a pittance for the railway companies. In short, while the provinces seem to be trying to do something, the feds seem to have learned precious little from the grain movement mess of a year ago. Sadly, we may be in for another long, cold winter.
Highway speed limit reductions should be extended The provincial government did the right thing earlier this year by implementing a pilot project aimed at reducing collisions on major highways in the Saskatoon and Regina areas. The pilot project involved lowering the speed limit to 90 kilometers per hour on Highway 12 at Martensville; and also on Highway 1 at White City east of Regina. Last Friday, provincial Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner announced the 90 km/hr speed limit is being extended to include the portion of Highway 12 to Lutheran Road, about halfway between Saskatoon’s northern boundary and Martensville’s southern boundary. The extension is needed because with the closure of Martensville’s former south entrance, Lutheran Road is now the main inter-

Despite all this, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz repeatedly said he was “loathe to regulate” the railways to live up to their mandate by moving western grain. Well, after much prompting, the federal government did come forward with Bill C-30 (and act to amend the Canada Grain Act) that subjected railways to a $100,000 a day fines if they failed to move a million tonnes a week. It was considerably less than the Saskatchewan government’s call for $250,000 per day for failing to move 13,000 cars a week. Some estimate that the failure to move grain cost the Western economy as much as $8.3 billion, and even more conservative estimates suggest it still cost between $2 billion and $3 billion. Well, fast forward a year and we are again getting our first blast of what is expected to be another bitter winter after a

section for many Martensville commuters turning south onto Highway 12 during morning rush hour. The lower speed limit that has been in effect since last June has reduced the number of collisions and injuries on Highway 12 at Martensville, according to police and civic authorities. And while hard numbers are difficult to compile, the anecdotal evidence is overwhelming. Drivers are forced to slow down, and they’re more attuned to other traffic crossing the highway at major intersectons. So the obvious question is: why doesn’t the provincial government also institute a 90 kilometer speed limit on Highway 11 from Warman’s south entrance to at least the intersection with the new Highway 305? This stretch of highway is

every bit as dangerous as Highway 12 near Martensville. In some ways, it’s even more risky because of the railway overpass at Warman’s main entrance at Central Street. Northbound traffic topping the crest of the hill at busy times of the day must react very quickly if vehicles waiting to turn left are backed up to any extent. A short distance north of that dangerous intersection, the junction with the new Highway 305 also poses problems. Some of these are short-term issues, like installing proper lighting, that will be fixed soon. But in the long term, the expansion of Warman’s northern neighbourhoods means there will soon be a lot more traffic using that intersection. So why not implement a proven measure at a minimum cost to the taxpayer? Drop the speed
limit to 90 kilometers per hour on Highway 11 for a few kilometers south and north of Warman. It just makes sense. The provincial Highways Ministry has indicated it will be looking at the possibility of implementing lower speed limits at selected locations. This should be one of those locations. Ms. Heppner, who happens to be the MLA for the Martensville Constituency is very familiar with the area, and it’s to her credit that she has pushed hard at the cabinet table for improvements to highway safety in the area. Ultimately, overpasses are needed, not just at Martensville, but at several other locations in the Saskatoon region, including Highway 11 at Warman’s main entrance and Wanuskewin road, among others. -Terry Pugh

Oat mill workers ratify contract, lockout over Workers at the Richardson International oat milling plant north of Martensville have ratified a new contract, ending a lockout that lasted nearly nine weeks. The 34 unionized workers, members of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1400 union, began returning to the plant on Wednesday, November 12. The new collective bargaining agreement is a four-year deal that includes wage increases,
benefits, and a new salary grid. The main sticking point when bargaining talks broke down earlier this fall was the issue of transparency over salaries. Under the new agreement, the salary grid includes variable wage increases during the first year ranging from five to 20 per cent. Wage increase in the second year are pegged at 2.5 per cent, 3.5 per cent in the third year and three per cent in the final year.

Aberdeen residents will have to make some tough decisions in deciding who to vote for with the town’s upcoming byelection, November 26. The town’s three nominated candidates include local businesswomen Renee ReimerHorner, Jacquie Griffiths and Jordan Zorowski, who were introduced to residents during a meet the candidate night at Aberdeen’s Community Centre, November 14. Reimer-Horner said a good indication of why she would be a good councilor would be her involvement in the community. “Everyone knows me and I don’t think there is anyone that I don’t know in Aberdeen,” said Reimer. “I work hard to put on events and promote the community and I would continue to promote the town as Councilor. Reimer-Horner moved to Aberdeen in 2007 and owns a construction company called Solid Core Homes. After being nominated numerous times for council past elections and byelections, Reiner-Horner said this year was the right time to step forward. “I haven’t accepted the nomination in the past because I started my company in 2007 so I never felt until right now that I could commit the time. I put on probably fifteen community events since I’ve been here, said Reimer-Horner. “I have been involved in Aberdeen Days, family fun days, street curling that kind of thing. I have always been involved with working with the town and the RM on different initiatives as well.” Griffiths has lived in Aberdeen for 22 years and said her decision to run was frankly because she felt she would do a great job. Griffiths said she worked for the Saskatchewan Association for Safe Workplaces. Prior to that she worked for the Canadi-

That is how I found out about Aberdeen. Some of my co-workers lived here. I love it. It’s a great place.” Zorowski moved to Aberdeen two years ago and is manager
of Aberdeen’s Rec Complex. Zorowski said he has had many experiences in the arena listening to locals about areas of the town that could see improvement. He said he usually doesn’t give his two cents during these conversations but said he does care about the community.

The Aberdeen Curling Club (ACC) will be able to prepare ice in half the time with recent upgrades and new materials designed to improve the experience for local curlers, said ACC President Ryan Norman. The club installed easy sheets, added a new heater and is hoping a new family-oriented ‘learn to curl’ league will encourage more participation. Norman said the easy sheet installation will drastically reduce the number of volunteers needed to prepare the ice. “It is a curling rink liner or perforated fabric material that is the whole sheet, so basically you roll it out and flood over the top of it and it eliminates all the painting that is required when you do it the traditional way,” said Norman. “The piece of fabric is 146 feet long by 14 feet wide and includes rings, hog lines and centre line, the sponsor logos for local advertising people.” Norman said the new heater will help solve design issues with the facility’s geothermal system. “When they built the arena they put floor heat in the curling area in the runways
along the rink. What happens is that when that is turned on it causes the ice to melt,” said Nornan. “We have been running the last couple of years without that on but we develop moisture issues which causes frost on the roof and the walls and then in the spring the water drips onto the ice. This heat was s big deal to improve the ice quality and reduce the amount of maintenance to keep it going.” The club currently holds curling night twice a week, a women’s bonspiel and Town of Aberdeen/ RM of Aberdeen funspiel supper, which is a popular event. Last year the club formed a partnership with the Aberdeen Snowmobile Club’s Snowmobile Rally, with all proceeds going towards the club. There was about five local companies that through advertising on the club’s easy sheets helped raise $20,000 to cover their cost, said Norman Norman said every little bit helps. “There have been lots of improvements made in the last two or three years to the curling rink. “We have a really nice facility here and I would like to see more curlers,” said Norman.

Thin ice poses danger on cities’ frozen lakes By TERRY PUGH

Warman Community Association donations go to facilities and programs By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A donation of $20,000 from the Warman Community Association (WCA) will go toward the construction of a gazebo in Prairie Oasis Park. The funds were turned over to Warman Recreation and Community Services Manager Paul McGonigal at the WCA’s annual craft and bake sale at the Legends Centre on Saturday, Novembr 15. It’s a donation that is greatly appreciated, according to McGonigal.
“This isn’t the first time the community association has stepped up to the plate and helped the city out with certain projects and fundraising events,” said McGonigal. “The gazebo is an 18 foot by 18 foot vinyl-sided structure that will go in the new Phase 1 of Prairie Oasis Park expansion. It will add a real nice touch to the park. It’s these extra things that really give a park a unique character, and we wouldn’t be able to do this without the help of this association.” McGonigal said the real winners are the people who will be us-
ing the park, especially the kids. Sharon Martens, one of the members of the WCA, said the group’s mandate is to raise money for projects and activities within the community. “All the money stays right here and benefits the people who live here and who use the facilities and programs,” said Martens. “We’re an energetic group, but we’re always looking for new members. Our contact information is on the City of Warman website and in the city’s leisure guide.” The WCA’s sale this year was the biggest one yet, said Mar-
tens. “We had over 100 tables, so that’s a new record,” she said. “We may be at capacity, but we’ll see if we can’t expand it next year. We had a waiting list this year.” Over the years the WCA has made donations to a number of groups including the Warman Fire Department, Warman Winter Festival, Sask Valley Music Festival scholarships, Warman High School scholarship program, Warman Senior Centre, Sask Valley Bantam AA hockey, Warman Football and many others.
The ice on the surface water reservoirs in Martensville and Warman may look solid, but it’s actually not safe enough to venture out on. That’s the word from the two cities’ administrators responsible for overseeing parks and recreational facilities. “People should stay off the ice right now,” said Warman Recreation and Community Services Manager Paul McGonigal in an interview on Saturday, Novembr 15. “The lakes and ponds right now are at a stage where they’re starting to ice over, but there are dangers.” McGonigal said the City of Warman has posted signs warning of the dangers of thin ice. “We put the signs up when the season starts to change and the ice starts to form,” said McGonigal. “We continually test the ice, and when it gets to a crtain depth, we will bag and cover all those signs. “Then in the spring, when the ice starts to melt, we’ll constantly be checking the ice and when it gets to a point where it’s unsafe we will take the bags off the warning signs so people know it is unsafe to venture out on the ice.” Martensville Recreation and Community Services Director Dave Bosch said despite the cold temperatures over the past several days, it is too early in the season for residents to be out on the ice. “It won’t be ready for a while yet,” said Bosch. “We’re exercising caution at this time, and we’ll be continually monitoring the thickness of the ice to let people know when it’s safe.” The City of Martensville cleans skating areas on certain of its ponds, in particular those in Kinsmen Park, where a skating trail extends for several hundred meters and passes under a pedestrian bridge in the park. The city-owned equipment is used to clear snow and flood areas of the skating trail to keep it maintained throughout the winter. “We have to wait until the ice is thick enough to support the equipment,” said Bosch. “It has to be safe enough to support our staff and equipment.” The City of Warman, meanwhile, does not do any clearing of ice on the ponds within its city limits. “The city does not look after clearing the lakes,” said McGonigal. “We stay away from that for liability reasons. We do have some members of the community who cleaned lakes in the past, and when you do clear it with a machine you take a huge risk. It’s important to exercise caution.” At the same time, said McGonigal, the lakes and ponds in Warman are not spring-fed, so there is no moving water beneath the ice. “Once the ice is thick enough, usually about eight inches, it’s safe enough to support skaters,” he said. The City of Warman has two outdoor skating rinks that are flooded and maintained by city staff. One is on 4th Street near the Fire Hall, and across from Warman Elementary School. This rink has boards and is a popular place for outdoor shinny games. The other rink is located in the parking lot and tennis courts at Lions Park. McGonigcal said this rink does not have boards, and is intended strictly for skating. In Martensville, the outdoor rink adjacent to the Martensville Sports Centre is currently being flooded and should be ready by the end of the week, according to Bosch. The thin ice on Warman’s ponds did, however, provide an ideal opportunity for members of the Warman Fire Deparmtent to do some training in ice rescue last week. Using specially-designed ice-rescue suits, members learned techniques for cold-water survival and practiced retrieval of victims who have gone through the ice. According to Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin, the training exercise was worthwhile. With new lakes being built in most new neighbourhoods, ice rescue is a critical part of firefighters’ training, he noted.

Martensville Athletic Pavilion opens its doors By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP) officially opened its doors to the public on Wednesday, November 19. “It’s been a long time coming, but we’re really pumped to have it finally open,” said Martensville Recreation and Community Services Director Dave Bosch in an interview on Monday, November 17, just prior to the opening. “The biggest advantage is that we now have a state-of-the-art facility that will allow a variety of recreational programs and also be able to acccommodate high-level sports competitions.” The tension-membraned building was designed by Sprung Structures. The interior of the building uses cross-laminated timber (CLT) products for its walls, floors and ceilings. CLT panels provide increased stability and strength because they use multiple layers of wood, with each layer oriented crosswise to the next. Because the lumber is prefinished, pre-cut and predrilled, it proved ideal for the long 140-foot open span covering the three full-size basketball courts and second-storey running track. The building was constructed by Alfred Horie Construction (AHC). HIGH SCHOOL USING MAP A portion of the $10 million, 50,000 square foot facility was opened a few weeks ago for the use of Martensville High School, and more recently for the use of Valley Manor Elementary School students. The students are regularly using one of the courts in the gymnasium on the main floor of the new structure. There are also certain periods when they have the use of a second court as well.
Martensville High School Principal Brad Nichol said the arrangement is working very well for the school so far. “We’re going through a bit of a ‘moving-in’ phase right now,” said Nichol. “It’s kind of like sharing an apartment. You have to figure out whose stuff goes where and how to arrange everything, but we’re working through it.” Nichol said the students are very impressed with the facility. “They’re kind of blown away by how beautiful the building is,” said Nichol. “There’s plenty of room and it’s a big improvement.” Nichol said the school has basketball practices in the facility after school hours. The old gym in the high school is currently closed while a $26.3 million renovation and expansion is being carried out on the high school. Eventually, the MAP and new portion of the high school will be joined together. For the time being, students must walk around the construction site to access the MAP for gym classes. A revised joint-use agreement governing the use of civic-owned and school divisionowned facilities was signed recently between the City of Martensville and the Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD). The revised agreement includes the MAP as well as those facilities that were listed in the previous agreement. MORE FLEXIBILITY Bosch said while many of the city-run recreation programs will move to the new MAP facility, others will continue in their existing locations. The advantage of having the MAP open is that it allows for greater flexibility and more options in scheduling pro-
The main entrance on the north side of the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP). The new facility opened to the public this week grams, he said. “Not everything will be moving to the MAP,” said Bosch. “It’s a combination of having the new facility in operation, and freeing up space in other buildings. The MAP is great because now we have three more gymnasiums to facilitate a wide range of activities. Plus there will be running and fitness classes at the MAP.” Bosch noted the new facility will become a focal point for the city and region. “With all the family-oriented programs being offered, it definitely will be a place where people can come to participate in the activities and also to socialize,” he said.

Dalmeny Remembrance Service
PHOTO SUBMITTED BY ROSELLA BUHR
A Remembrance Day service was held November 11 at the Dalmeny Seniors Centre in conjunction with the community’s monthly seniors supper. Sgt. Garry Mcdonald and Sgt Ernie Fast (both retired RCMP officers) laid a wreath (donated by Dalmeny Funeral Home) in honour of our local veterans, as John Marjan recited “In Flanders Fields” and Rosella Buhr read a brief tribute to the late Corporal Shane Keating, who had resided in Dalmeny and lost his life in Afganistan on Sept 18,2006. The new local playground and spray park is named in his honour.
Even if you haven’t had a drop to drink, you’re guaranteed to flunk the simulated roadside sobriety test when you’re wearing the “Drunk Driving Suit.” Designed by a team of German scientists for the Ford Motor Company, the deceptively-simple impairment suit simulates the effects of alcohol on the body. With one weight strapped to your ankle and another on your opposite wrist, braces on your knees and elbows, a neck collar, vision-distorting goggles and sound-deadening headphones, you are effectively hobbled, and try as you might, your body simply refuses to respond the way it’s supposed to. Maintaining your balance is virtually impossible, and judging distances is a serious challenge. All the while, you retain the cognitive functioning of a sober person. The media and public were given the opportunity to try out the suit at a demonstration at Merlin Ford Lincoln in Saskatoon on Monday, November 3. A member of the Saskatoon RCMP detachment guided participants through a roadside sobriety test at the dealership. “Putting this suit on actually allows the wearer to feel some of the symptoms they might feel if they were suffering under the influence of alcohol impairment,” said Colin Anderson of Asquith, sales manager with Merlin Ford Lincoln. “The reason Ford is doing this is summed up by the slogan: ‘Feel how you should never feel behind the wheel.’ I’m forty-four years old. They were talking about the impact of drunk driving when I was a kid, and they’re still talking about it now. So there are still a lot of people out there who haven’t got the message yet.” Constable Elmer Russell of the Saskatoon RCMP Detachment said impaired driving is a major issue. “The bottom line is, if you’re going to consume alcohol, then don’t get behind the wheel,” said Russell. “With the Christmas season coming up, it’s a good time to remind people of that. The fact is that people don’t feel the effects of alcohol until it’s actually too late. But from a sober person’s perspective, it’s pretty easy to spot the symptoms. Someone who’s had too much to drink has trouble communicating, their fine and gross motor skills are uncoordinated, they can’t walk straight.” Russell said the police have very sci-

Welcome to Warman program helps new residents feel at home By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
With new neighbourhoods springing up almost overnight, the population of Warman is growing by leaps and bounds. To help all those new residents bcome familiar with their new community, the City of Warman is laying out the welcome mat. “Welcome to Warman” is a city-run program aimed at providing newcomers with information on businesses, civic services and amenities, and community organizations. Sharon Martens is the coordinator of the Welcome to Warman program. A life-long resident of the community, Martens is passionate about her hometown’s colourful history and excited about its future. “Warman is a wonderful place to live and to raise a family,” said Martens in an interview recently. “It offers a lot of the amenities you find in a larger city, but with the warm and friendly feel of a smaller town.” Welcome to Warman was launched a little over a year ago by the city to provide an information bridge to new residents. “Sometimes it takes people a while to really become familiar with their new community and to realize all that it has to offer,” said Martens. “We wanted to give them a bit of a short-cut and let them know about things that are happening.” Martens said she’s had a good response from new residents, but noted that many of them may not be aware of the program.
“It would be good to see more people,” she said. “The way it works is that the city office gives them a card, and then they can call me or send me an e-mail, and I’ll drop by with a package of information. “I have met every age group, and they’re all just so happy to be here,” said Martens. “They love the community. They compliment the parks and the events we have. Obviously, they thought it was a good community and that’s why they decided to move here, but they’re often surprised at how much more there is here than they thought.” Anyone interested in receiving a visit and a package from the Welcome to Warman program is invited to contact Martens at sharon1952@sasktel.net or by phoning 306-934-5914. Currently, about 40 businesses in Warman use the program to let residents know what they have to offer. Martens encouraged other businesses to also participate. Martens said the program should not be confused with a national program with a similar-sounding name. “This is entirely city-run,” she said. “There is no charge to the businesses to provide information in the package we distribute to new residents. The focus is on Warman, but we also let people know about any amenitites within the region offered by neighbouring communities. We want them to know they don’t always have to go into Saskatoon to find what they need. There’s lots right here on their own doorstep.”
The Town of Langham’s new Curling Rink is slowly starting to take shape, with its metal outer walls recently erected and its inner design currently being pieced together. It’s been a long two years for Langham Curling Club President Maureen Kinch, who was barely into her third month as president when three quarters of the rafters in the old curling rink broke and caved in because of snow buildup. This left the town with no other option but to rip the entire structure down because of safety concerns. Despite some uncertainly from the town about whether they would use the $1.3 million insurance claim to rebuild the facility, Kinch said things are starting to look up. “I learned a lot. This whole process played an interesting role with helping me get my feet wet as president. Now that you can touch walls I am getting over my disappointment,” said Kinch. The new facility will be 24.5 feet tall and located in the same location as the old facility, next to the skating rink or just 10 feet away. The design of the facility inside will include the same three sheets of ice, but this time the lounge will be located upstairs, said Kinch. “There are bathrooms on both levels, we designed the
concession to be more useful, the bar is more functional,” said Kinch. “The idea when I worked with engineers was to try and make it a community building. We can still hold small meetings and functions there. I want it to be a year round building.” The only remnant of the older building is the cement base, said Kinch. “The cement was salvageable, so they (contractors) very carefully knocked the building down and built up on our existing cement pad,” said Kinch. “We couldn’t move the existing foundation because we would jeopardize the cement. So they left it there and built beyond it. We had to build wider to put the girders in and the tiling.” The club had 120 members before the roof of the old rink caved in two years ago. Kinch heard that some of those members relocated to curling clubs in Saskatoon and Dalmeny. She’s hopeful they will return. The town is hoping to have the new facility complete and open to the public by the end of February with an official grand opening in March 20, said Kinch. “It’s been a tradition here that there has been a windup bonspiel/community/supper dance at the end of March,” said Kinch. “We are hoping to get three weeks of a league and do an open league for one or two nights just to get people excited about the building.”

It wasn’t the prettiest or best executed provincial high school championship football game ever played but, in the end, the Clavet Cougars perservered en
route to a 19-11 victory over the visiting Humboldt Mohawks. Winds whipped from the west at about 50 km/h and seemingly tilted the field in one direction, making it nearly impossible for either team to move the ball. Despite having

the wind at their back in the first quarter, Clavet was unable to register any points while Humboldt simply did their best to maintain some sort of field position. After the scoreless opening quarter, Clavet found the end zone into the wind to take the lead 7-0. The Mohawks responded on the next series, moving 50 yards for a major to tie the contest at 7-7. Humboldt added a single on the ensuing kickoff to make it 11-7 heading into halftime. Clavet head coach Shaun Priel said the weather was a concern, but they over-compensated in the first half and got away from their game plan. “We’re a passing team,” said Priel. “I think we over-focused on the weather. In the third quarter, we took the wind and started to really put points on the board because we got back
to throwing the ball. Even in the fourth quarter we put the ball in the air and it paid off.” The third quarter belonged to Clavet as the Cougars marched down the field twice with the wind at their back to score a pair of touchdowns and take a 19-11 lead to the delight of the home side fans who braved the bone-chilling cold along the sidelines. Both converts failed, leaving the Mohawks with a chance to take the wind and score some points of their own in the fourth quarter. However, the Cougars offense looked like it wasn’t done as Clavet made its way down the field into the wind early in the fourth quarter and found themselves first and goal from the Humboldt one-yard line. The Mohawks created and recovered a fumble on the three yard line to snuff out what appeared
to be some insurance points for Clavet. “Those kinds of things happen when you’re playing a good football team,” said Priel. “Our receiver had the ball but the defender reached in and ripped it out of his hands. We just told the guys not to worry about it. We just pumped the kids’ tires and told them to keep working hard; tried to keep them on an even keel.” It paid off, as the Cougars defence stood tall, recovering a fumble deep in their own territory. After a couple of possession exchanges, Clavet converted a huge second down play for a fresh set of downs with just under a minute to play in the game. Cougars quarerback Graham Beresh took a knee three times to kill the clock and the celebration was on as Clavet captured its first provincial

THE
football championship since 2009 when it won three straight titles. “Our offensive coordinator, Brian Harder, told Graham: ‘just trust me. Run this play and you’ll get the job done’,” said Priel. “Brian called the perfect play for that situation.” Priel said the big factor that clinched the championship was the experience many of the players had in last year’s playoff run. “Our goal from Day One was to get to the championship final on November 15,” said Priel. “And we told them not to be satisfied with just getting there, but to finish the job. “Our guys drew on the experience of last year, and they really wanted to be successful.” Clavet advanced to the title game with a 47-21 win over Lumsden while Humboldt defeated Shaunavon 44-25.

Warman Wolverines capture 5A girls regional volleyball championship By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Warman High School (WHS) Senior Girls Volleyball team won their first 5A Regional championship by defeating Prince Albert’s St. Mary High School in three set matches at Prince Albert Carlton High School, November 14-15. In the final the Wolverines lost their first set to St.Mary in their first game 25-11, but roared back in their last two sets with a score of 26-24 in the second game and 27-25 in the third. In their round robin games WHS defeated North Battleford Composite High School in three sets, edged Melfort in quarterfinal play in three tight sets and easily handled Prince Albert’s Carlton Composite High School in two sets in the semi-final. Wolverines Senior Girls Volleyball coach Peter Schmidt said it was some of the best high school girls volleyball he has ever seen as a coach. “We were improving with
each game and started to peak at the right time, which is the goal of any coach,” said Schmidt. “Some teams can peak too early and fall off. I knew we were going to do well but I didn’t think we would come out on top.” Schmidt said it was team cohesiveness that gave his team the edge. “This is a very unique group of girls, they are very tight and they work together very well,” said Schmidt. “In the final match we lost the first game in the best of three 25-11 so we got beaten quite badly but we came back. Our team motto is we are the team that never dies. That was a huge part of it and our mental strength.” The Wolverines will head to Regina next weekend to see if they can become the best team in the province. Schmidt said at the 5A level competition will be fearce with every single team being a contender to win it all. “It is unlike any other division. All the teams are strong. If you can compare it to a low-
er division like 4A the top four teams will be stronger teams than the last six. I know every team will be tough.” Heading into provincials Schmidt said he is going to continue using systems that have worked well for his team. He said he may tweak some things offensively but it won’t be anything drastic. As a first year coach of girls senior volleyball he finds it hard to contain his excitement about the great athletes on the team and how well they have played this year. “The girls have worked really hard. We had some ups and downs, but this is quite special. Maybe it is just me being the coach and being excited,” said Schmidt. “It is something that is quite special for Warman High School. We are sometimes in the shadow of the football team and they did an excellent job and are an excellent team. This is my first year as coach and volleyball at WHS it is going to continue to grow and get better and better.”

Borden volleyball team advances to regionals By DUNCAN SUTHERLAND
duncansutherland23@gmail.com
The Borden and Dinsmore senior boys volleyball teams are moving on to play in 1A regional tournaments this weekend. The Dinsmore Wildcats hosted Borden, Beechy, and Davidson in Conference play for
1-A Senior Boys volleyball last weekend. Borden finished in first place and Disnmore came in second. The Borden Bruins advanced by winning all three of their games in straight sets, including a 25-5 and 25-9 thrashing of the Beechy Blazers. Dinsmore faced the Davidson Raiders in the final game of
the night. They would go on to beat Davidson in three sets and punch their ticket to this Saturday’s Regional playoffs, which are set to take place in Loon Lake on Saturday, November 22. Loon Lake, Neilburg, Thunderchild, and Goodsoil are the other teams in the region to advance to the tournament.

Hepburn Hawks, Langham Vikings to compete for provincial crown By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Hepburn School’s Senior Girls Volleyball team had trouble muffling the cheering in their home gym when they defeated Meath Park to win the 2A Regional Girls Volleyball Championship November 14-15. In their round robin games against Middle Lake they quickly showed who was boss by defeating them in two straight sets of 25-8. In their second set of games Hepburn had some stiffer competition against Meath Park. The team won their first game of the best of three 25-16, but lost the last two 25-22 and 19-
25 which caused them to finish second in the A Pool. Their matchup against Rose Valley in the semi-final was the turning point in the tournament, winning 25-17 in the first set and 25-22 in the second. The result led to a final rematch against Meath Park which Hepburn head coach Donna Andres could only describe as electric playing in front of home fans. “It was incredible. Once we won the semi-final it seemed we were guaranteed a trip to provincials. We played Meath Park again and this time we won in three sets,” said Andres.
To win regionals was a surreal experience for Andres. In 2010 she can remember coaching several of the senior girls when they were in Grade 10. She said based on the way they approached the game back then some people somehow knew what the result would be. This is the second year in a row that Hepburn won regionals. Last year when Wolseley hosted the provincials, Hepburn unfortunately didn’t make it to the semi-finals despite being ranked number one in the province. Andres hopes her team’s prior experience pays off when the team heads to Langham for provincials this weekend.
“I looked at the draw and we have seen three of the teams we will face. We have seen Langham, Meath Park, and Wilkie and we have actually beat them all. I hope we go in fired up,” said Andres Despite the outcome Andres said coaching her favorite team never feels like work. “I think this year we have trained hard, committed, and bonded as a team. We have finished in the top two in every tournament this season,” said Andres. LANGHAM HOSTS PROVINCIALS In other 2A volleyball regionals action Langham’s heart breaking loss to Rose Val-
ley ended the team’s hopes of reaching the playoff round. “We started off kind of slow. We didn’t play the way we wanted to in the first match of the day against Kinistino, said Langham Senior Girls Volleyball Coach Shawn Huber. “We found our game against Rose Valley and two points the other way would have allowed us to finish first in our pool and make it to the playoff round but fell a little short. It has been a good year for Langham Girls Volleyball. The team finished with a regular season record of 45-33, which is the first time the team finished above .500 in two years, said Huber
“I am really happy with the way the girls played this year. We started off kind of slow and started to believe in each other,” said Huber. With Langham hosting the 2A Provincial tournament this weekend, he is hoping home court advantage will give the girls a positive boost. “We are not going to change our game plan. We know our gym and fans so we are going to use some of the elements of our building and hopefully catch some of the team’s off guard,” said Huber. “We have a small gym and some teams are used to playing in a large gym so maybe that will help us out a little bit.”
Mike Krushelnyski leads NHL Alumni roster into action at Legends Centre By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Former professional hockey player Mike Krushelnyski is appreciative of his success in the NHL, winning five Stanley Cups with the Wayne Gretzkyled Edmonton Oilers and one as an assistant coach with the Detroit Red Wings in 1997. As a member of the NHL Legends tour, he is more than happy to share the many stories that went along with his 16 years playing in the NHL. On December 3 fans will get a chance to not only see, but also to meet NHL Legends including: Gary Leeman, Stephane Richer, Ray Bourque, Bob Sweeney, Al Iafrate, Chris Nilan, Rick Middleton and others when the NHL Legends CNYC Tour makes a stop at Warman’s Legends Centre. The purpose of the NHL Legends CNYC Tour is to help raise funds for local charities in cities and towns where the tour is scheduled. This year all proceeds of the game will go towards Saskatoon’s Core Neighbourhood Youth Coop, which is a skills building and alternative educ-

tion program for youth in Saskatoon. “We come and try to entertain fans for the hockey game then afterwards try to entertain them a little more, telling them off ice stories about our careers in the NHL,” said Krushelnyski. “It’s a good cause, everybody always wins and has a good time. The nice thing is we help raise money for different towns and cities, which is what it is all about.” Krushelnyski says in general people just like to hear hockey stories. One story he shared with the Gazette was his involvement in the most famous trade in NHL history when he and Marty McSorley were traded to the Los Angeles Kings along with the Great One in 1988. “The interesting thing was LA wasn’t a powerhouse at the time. Normally you would go down there to walk on the beach or swing a golf club,” said Krushelnyski. “At first I was a little apprehensive going to the Kings, but we had a good group in LA and beat out the Stanley Cup Champions in my first two seasons there.” It was when he saw a con-
do complex with a huge Magic Johnson poster on one side of the building and Wayne Gretzky on the other that he knew hockey had arrived in California. “It was an exciting time to be there. We were at the top of the barrel, not the bottom,” said Krushelnyski. “As excited as we were to meet Hollywood celebrities like Sylvester Stallone and John Candy, they were just
as excited to see us.” After retiring from the NHL, Krushelnyski coached the Central Hockey League’s Fort Worth Fire until 1999, Vityaz Chekhov of the KHL from 100607 and was coach of the Ingolstadt Panthers in Germany. Krushelnyski said it has always been about the players he played with and the fascinating people he met, which will always give him fond memories
of the NHL. “I don’t think I took too much time when I was playing to really think about it. Afterward you think, ‘Wow, I was lucky enough to play with this guy on this team and these guys on that team’,” said Krushelnyski. Growing up in Montreal the tour has allowed him to meet his idol, Montreal Canadians legend Yvonne Cournoy-

Royals take down Elks in FCHL nail-biter By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Hague Royals are getting used to close games. Which is good, because there’s likely to be a lot of them this season. The Royals edged the visiting Shellbrook Elks 5-3 on Friday, November 14 in Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) action. It was the second straight win for the Royals (they beat Tisdale 5-4 on November 8) after dropping their season opener on November 7 by a 5-3 score to the Prairie Outlaws. Hague coach Roger Kinzel says there is a lot of parity in the six-team league, and there won’t be any easy contests. “Every game so far has been close,” said Kinzel. “And that’s the way it’s going to be all season long. Every team in this league is going to be tough. They all have a little different style, and we just have to learn how to deal with them. “But the guys are having fun right now, and we’re happy with the way things are going.” Hague got off to a hot start in the game against Shellbrook, with Brett Kipling potting the opening goal of the game for the home team a little past the midway point of the first period. Shellbrook’s Stephan Lachappelle tied the score late in the period. In the middle frame things heated up as both teams threw
their weight around, and a fight between Curtis Olsen of Shellbrook and Kenny Neufeld of Hague earned both players an early trip to the showers. But if there was a spark from that fight, it ignited Hague. Adam Schwark and Cody Krozser both scored to give the Royals a 4-1 lead heading into the second intermission. Shellbrook came out flying in the third and picked up two quick goals by Brock Fitch and Josh Peterson. But Daniel Rauckman replied for Hague. For the last twelve minutes of regulation time, the Royals played defensive hockey, and their goaltender, Graham Hildebrand, proved up to the task, turning away volley after volley from the Elks. Shellbrook outshot Hague 3321, but Hildebrand was the difference in the game. Brenden Cuthbert was in net for Shellbrook. “Our biggest asset is our goalie,” said Kinzel. “He was rookie of the year last year and you can see why. He’s a heck of a goaltender and a good guy to have in the locker room..” Hague has two more home games before heading out on the road. They host the Dalmeny Fury (which also has a record of 2 wins and 1 loss so far this season) on Friday, November 21 at 8:30 p.m.; and the Bruno T-Birds the following Friday, November 28 at 8:30 p.m.

The Dalmeny Fury suffered their first loss of the season to the visiting Bruno T-Birds in Dalmeny on Friday, November 14. The highly competitive game was a goaltenders duel as Dalmeny’s Ryley Boeschen registered 42 saves and Bruno’s netminder Lane Hildebrandt stopped 32 shots. Bruno controlled most of the play at the start of the first period and opened the scoring with goals by Cleve Len and Brett Novak. The last half of the first period Dalmeny really settled in, creating a great deal of pressure. Unfortunately, the bounces were not going the Fury’s way as they hit the crossbar and then the goal post on different rushes. Much of the momentum the Fury had gained was lost in the second as they were forced to kill off four penalties in the
frame. They did enjoy a two man advantage to end the second period but could not get the puck behind Bruno’s Hildebrandt. Mid-way through the third Dalmeny moved to within a goal when Justin D’Entremont spun around at the top of the circle and fired top corner for his league leading fourth goal of the season. The Fury continued to press
but could not get the equalizer. The T-Birds were able to secure the 3-1 win when Brett Parker scored into an empty net with 1:05 left in the game. The loss moves the 2-1 Fury into a tie for second place with the Hague Royals in the FCHL standings. The Fury’s next game is on Friday, November 21 when they are scheduled to play those Royals in Hague.

For the second time in three years, the Warman Wolverines saw their aspirations of a championship title crushed by the Melfort Comets. In 2012, the two teams met in the provincial 3A nine-man high school football championship final in Melfort. The Comets won that round, 53-26, in brutally-frigid conditions. This time, the weather conditions were bone-chillingly similar, and so was the final score. The Comets won 46-20 in Warman on Saturday, November 15. The Wolverines had rolled through the regular season without a loss. In the quarter-final and semi-final playoff games they looked even better by not allowing a single point, but in the end, they had to settle for a silver medal in the final battle of the year. It was a tough ending for an otherwise storybook season, but two provincial second-place finishes in three years speaks volumes for the program, the players and coaches. “It’s disappointing,” said Wolverines head coach Tyler Scheidt after the game. “You have to feel for the five Grade 12 kids on the team. This is the second time they’ve watched the gold medal go around Melfort’s neck, and they don’t get another shot at it. It would have been nice for them to have the experience of winning their final game and going out on top.” But at the same time, Scheidt added, it doesn’t diminish what they’ve done over the past three years. “You have to give the kids credit,” he said. “This group of Grade 12s has two silver medals and a top-four finish in the last three years.” The Wolverines roared out of the gate in the first quarter, going up 7-0 after running back Damien Delnea motored 60 yards to score a touchdown. Justin Chaskavich added a successful convert. But the Comets struck back with a 24-yard field goal in the final three minutes of the quarter to take away some of the momentum. Early in the second quarter, Melfort quarterback Lee Taylor punched through the Warman defense to score a two-yard touchdown run, giving the visitors a 9-7 lead. The turning point in the game came midway through the second quarter when
Warman receiver Jayson Lindo galloped 85 yards for a touchdown, only to have it called back on a holding penalty. Instead of retaking the lead, the Wolverines were now backed up to their own 10-yard line and facing a two-and-out when they conceded a two-point safety. On their next drive, Melfort’s Taylor ran another touchdown in to make it 18-7 with three minutes left in the quarter. Warman quarterback Josh Misskey connected with receiver Tyler Hume on a 20yard touchdown pass with a little under two minutes left in the half, and it looked like they might carry that momentum into the intermission. But Melfort’s Jomar Malaggay, the biggest weapon in the Comets’ arsenal, was tackled on the Wolverines’ two-yard line by Warman’s Joel Seiferling after he had run almost the entire length of the field. Taylor scored his third touchdown of the game on a quarterback keeper, and the Comets took a 24-13 lead into the break. Misskey faced a ton of pressure in the second half and was hard-pressed to connect on his passes. The one bright spot for the Warman offense came in the fourth quarter when Jaeden Townson found the end zone on a 60-yard running play. The Warman defense, led by Joel Seiferling, Micah Heide, and Brandon McKimmon, had their hands full in the last two quarters, as Melfort found sucess both in the air and on the ground. Warman also suf-
fered some turnovers as a result of ill-timed fumbles. Scheidt said while the disappointing taste from the loss will probably linger, the team is in good shape for another run at the title next year. “We have a solid corps of Grade 11 guys who are phenomenal football players,” said Scheidt. “They’ll get another shot at it next year. You hope they learn the valuable lessons and see what it takes to win at this level.” Melfort offensive line coach Jarod Koroll gave credit to the Wolvlerines for playing hard right to the end. “Warman has nothing to hang their heads about,” said Koroll. “They played a great game and had a great season as well. I expect them to win their share of these provincial finals very soon.” Koroll said the Comets had set a goal of winning provincials at the start of the year. “It was great to see the guys not only accomplish their goal by working to improve and challenge each other every week,” said Koroll. “In the final, we controlled both sides of the line of scrimmage, which allowed our skill guys to make plays. Our guys executed the game plan to near perfection, and continued the hard-nosed and disciplined style of football that we have played all year. I’m excited to see many of our players take the next step and represent our community and program as they continue their athletic careers in the junior or college ranks.”

Warman mini-mall offers fresh take on food and home decor Homeowners looking to give their place a unique look are finding all the right accessories at a newly-opened shop in Warman. Gerrit Verdouw, owner of 3R’s Furniture and Gifts, says since the shop opened a few weeks ago, the response has been overwhelming. People are seeking out the “rustic” look for furniture and accessories, he said, adding it’s a trend that started a couple of years ago and continues to pick up steam. With a range of gift items like clocks and artwork made from recycled tin and steel drums, and even a bookcase fashioned from an authentic elephant saddle, the appeal of recycled and re-purposed home furnishings and decor lies in its unique character, said Verdouw. His biggest selling items in the furniture line are chestnut dining suites made from reclaimed barn board. Verdouw and his business partners, including his wife Karen, purchased a piece of
property on Central Street in Warman a couple of years ago and decided it was an ideal spot for a mini-mall. He opted to open the furniture and gift shop as a specialty store after seeing how well the items were selling in his Saskatoon furniture store, Oaksmith Interiors. The 3R’s Furniture and Gift shop is celebrating its grand opening on Saturday, November 22. The mall is also home to one of the most unique fresh food outlets and bistros in the area. The Chef’s Market and Bistro is owned and operated by Thomas Banga and Ryan Tonnellier. Both business partners previously worked for a large corporate food chain, but opted to launch their own business because they felt Warman and surrounding region offered a strong market for the type of fresh, wholesome food they wanted to offer. “The big factor that sets our business apart is that we do fresh, prepared meals that provide customers with conve-
Gerrit Verdouw, owner of 3R’s Furniture and Gifts, surveys some of the unique items featured in the store. (Left) Thomas Banga, the chef behind the Chef’s Market and Bistro, displays the fresh meal and meat items
nience,” said Banga. “We don’t use frozen food. It’s all prepared on site, fresh daily. We have everything from individual portions to family packs.” The deli uses only sterling silver prime Canadian beef sourced in western Canada, a category which represents the top eight per cent of beef quality, said Banga. The butcher shop and deli also spice up some selected cuts with innovative ingredients to add a unique taste. Attached to the retail shop is a bistro featuring menu items that reflect the food available in the retail store. “This allows customers a chance to try the items first,” said Banga.

Province unveils revised drainage regulations The Minister responsible for the Water Security Agency (WSA), Scott Moe, recently released the results of online consultations on agricultural drainage. “This was the most comprehensive public consultation on drainage policy ever undertaken in Saskatchewan,” Moe said. “Our government appreciates the advice and information received during the online forum. This feedback will be critical to developing new regulations and policies on agricultural drainage.” In 2012, the Water Security Agency released the province’s 25 Year Water Security Plan. A key component of the 25 year plan was a commitment to addressing the challenges posed by unauthorized agricultural drainage. Managed by Insightrix Research of Saskatoon, the online forum was conducted between October 2013 and April 2014 and attracted nearly 500 participants who discussed various
options for managing drainage. This online public consultation contained three activities: The development of an online community for stakeholders to contribute their thoughts on specific issues surrounding agricultural drainage; A telephone and online survey of stakeholders to measure support of various policy options; and In-person meetings between online community members
and WSA representatives. Forum participants agreed that drainage provides many benefits to agricultural producers, but that the negative impacts of drainage must be mitigated. Also, forum participants supported implementing regulations that are riskbased; those drainage activities of a larger scale, which pose a greater risk to land and property would require more stringent regulations.

TIP OF THE WEEK
Colder weather is now upon us. Make sure that your vehicle is in good running condition with adequate tires. Adjust your speed as necessary for the
current weather and road conditions. It is a good idea to have an emergency kit complete with items to keep your warm should your vehicle break down. If you happen to end up driving into and getting stuck in the ditch make sure that the exhaust pipe is free from snow and obstructions. Then you can keep warm and wait for help to arrive inside your vehicle.

Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) Takes Major Step Toward Regional Plan On Thursday, October 23rd, the Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) announced the selection of O2 Planning + Design Inc. (O2) to develop a Regional Plan to ensure long term economic growth and prosperity for the Saskatoon Region. O2 is a Calgary-based global practice with extensive urban and regional planning expertise. P4G, which includes the Cities of Saskatoon, Warman and Martensville, the Rural Municipality of Corman Park and the Town of Osler as well as an advisory representative from the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA), jointly announced the selection at a press conference at the RM of Corman Park office in Saskatoon. “I am confident O2 has the experience and capability to deliver a Regional Plan that sets out a long-term, sustainable vision for land use, infrastructure and economic development in the Saskatoon Region,” says Alex Fallon, Independent Chair of the P4G Regional Oversight Committee, and President & CEO of SREDA. “The decision by P4G to award the contract to O2 is an important step in continuing to build on the Saskatoon Region’s economic momentum and plan for future growth.”
“O2 Planning + Design Inc. to develop Regional Plan” The goal of the P4G Regional Plan is to ensure each of the five partnering municipalities can benefit from growth opportunities, increase efficiencies and reduce costs by working together. The P4G Regional Plan will focus on creating strong partnerships, a prosperous future and an exceptional quality of life for everyone in the region. The plan, which will be competed by June 2016, will guide land use planning, transportation, servicing, infrastructure and economic development for the Region. An interim development strategy, anticipated by the spring of 2015, will be implemented to allow development to proceed while the plan is being created.
P4G Press Conference on October 23rd - Commencement of the Regional Plan Lt to Rt: Alex Fallon, SREDA; Douglas Olson, O2 Planning & Design; Reeve Judy Harwood, RM of Corman Park; Mayor Sheryl Spence, City of Warman; Eric Olauson, City of Saskatoon; Mayor Donald Atchison, City of Saskatoon; Mayor Kent Muench, City of Martensville; Councillor Terry Kostyna, City of Martensville; Mayor Ben Buhler, Town of Osler; Councillor Abe Quiring, Town of Osler.
Stakeholder and community engagement will be a key part of the process. In the coming months, P4G will announce how citizens and stakeholders can become involved. The budget for the project is $926,000, which includes the cost of the O2 contract and a dedicated project manager. Each of the member municipalities are contributing to the cost of the project. The Saskatoon area is one of the fastest growing regions in Canada. Recent estimates indicate it grew by approximately 4 percent over the past year and could reach a population of 500,000 within 20 years. More information about the plan can be found on the City of Saskatoon’s website (www.saskatoon.ca) under “R” for “Regional Plan”.

Dalmeny
The Town of Dalmeny welcomed their new Mayor in October 2014, Nick Bakker. He is no stranger to the Town and brings with him 40+ years in the public service sector, inlcuding law enforcement and the judiciary as a Justice of the Peace. Most recently Bakker was promoted to Managing the Customer Service Section for the Transportation Division of the City. He was appointed to the North Corman Park District Development Appeals Board, and chaired that committee until elected Mayor of Dalmeny. Congratulations Mayor Nick Bakker!
Community Raises Money for Recreational Infrastructure
Delisle Crops for Community (DCFC) had another successful year, raising $82,000 which will be put back into recreational infrastructure in the town. Last year DCFC raised about $72,000, with about $40,000 of that amount going towards Delisle Minor Softball to upgrade the town’s ball diamonds and build a new concession stand. Curt Gessell, committee member for DCFC, said improving the town’s recreation infrastructure is the goal of this project. “The biggest thing is improving our ball diamonds, potentially the rink, and other facilities in town. That kind of thing is what the money goes for. Investing the money in new facilities in the community is a possibility too,” said Gessell. Every year there is an application process where Delisle residents and recreation groups can submit an application form to access funds for what they feel needs to be upgraded. Each of the applications is then reviewed by the DCFC’s seven-member committee, who then vote on how the money will be allocated. The deadline for these applications is February of 2015.
Regional Economic Development Authority
“The project is truly a community effort and wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of a number of groups,” Gessell adds. The 192 acres of land used for DCFC is owned by the Town and is located along highway #7, just east of Delisle. The land is zoned residential, but will be used for the four year term of the project. All fieldwork, including seeding, spraying and harvesting is done by volunteers. Cervus Equipment John Deere is a major sponsor of the project and supplies the equipment for seeding the crop, as well as some of the equipment for harvest. Local farmers supply the rest of the machinery needed. Agrium provides funding for all of the crop inputs including seed, fertilizer and crop protection products, and the local Co-op supplies the fuel for the machinery. Local trucking companies assist in delivering the crop to the grain terminal. Delisle Mayor Dave Anderchek said with all the good that comes out of this project, he can see DCFC extending for another four years or more. “Even if we get to the point of developing the land we are not going to develop this whole acreage, it will be done in sections,” said Anderchek. “If you take 30 acres and develop it then you still have 160 acres left, so it takes time.”
Mike Dirham, general manager for the Agrium Potash plant located just outside of Delisle, said there are many avenues of Agrium’s involvement and excitement around this project. “[This project] creates a community spirit and atmosphere; it is a great educational opportunity for young kids to come see farming and what it is all about,” said Dirham. “This project is sponsored by Agrium, as well as other community sponsors, which brings that engagement and family ties as a community together.” The committee is thrilled with the results of the project so far. Their initial hope was to raise $200,000 over the span of the fouryear project. With over $150,000 raised in the first two years, they are well on their way of reaching that goal.

Sunshine Meadows Residential and Commercial Development Coming To The Town of Dundurn Developers Ed Weening and Carman Dodman unveiled Dundurn’s newest neighbourhood on September 30. Sunshine Meadows is a new residential and commercial development on a 90 acres parcel in the Town of Dundurn. Weening purchased the 90 acres on the southeast edge of Dundurn a few years ago with the intent of creating a new development consisting of residential and mixed commercial. This 302 residential lot development will be completed in three phases starting with 102 lots in phase one. The lot sizes will be from 50’ (15m) to 60’ (18m) frontage 132’ (40m) depth. The plan will incorporate walkout lots backing a large waterretention pond with a fountain, green space and walking paths. These development companies are no stranger to land development with completion of projects in Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, Warman, and Clavet. This development has been made possible by the Town’s foresight in upgrading the sewer and water system two years ago. Dundurn was also chosen because of its location to Saskatoon, Hwy 11 and the growth taking place on the south, east side of Saskatoon. The location of Black Strap Lake and a world-class Golf Couse are a bonus. “We are excited to work with Dundurn Council and Community to develop this neighbourhood as a good place to live, work and play. A Place to Grown” said Dodman.
“A PLACE TO GROW” A Solar-Friendly neighbourhood
This development has designated lots for Solar Energy homes with a $5000.00 rebate to the builder. We are also working with SaskPower and their Solar Energy Grant Program. Our solar energy systems are the latest technology supplied by an approved Canadian company. Schedule: Sunshine Meadows’ aggressive schedule will start earth works this fall, lot servicing in spring with roads and sidewalk complete by next summer, with housing starts soon after. The developer has set aside 6 acres of land for Dundurn’s new recreational complex. This future complex will be the new home for a hockey arena and municipal offices for the Town of Dundurn. Eleven acres has been earmarked for retail and commercial businesses. Carman Dodman (left) and Ed Weening unveil the proposed new 302-lot residential and commercial subdivision in Dundurn.

SREDA Promotes Science & Technology Partnerships with the United Kingdom on Investment Mission SREDA recently returned from its second investment mission of 2014, this time to the United Kingdom. The purpose of this mission was to develop partnerships between UK science and research parks and companies based at Innovation Place in Saskatoon. The trip included stops in London, Manchester and Norwich. In London, SREDA met with investors and businesses interested in investing in the Saskatoon Region. SREDA attended an investment seminar and had meetings with UK companies in the technology and financial business sectors. Manchester has growing technology and life sciences industries within the city’s region. Business leaders presented their strengths and opportunities for international collaborations. SREDA made connections with researchers in environmental technology in Manchester that have potential application in the Saskatoon Region. SREDA visited the Norwich Research Park on the last day of the mission. With a strong emphasis on agriculture biotechnology and genomics, there is potential for exciting international collaborations between Norwich Research Park and companies at Saskatoon’s Innovation Place. This investment mission feeds into supporting the effort to increase trade and investment between Saskatchewan and the UK. In May 2013, Premier Brad Wall signed the UK-SK Action Plan aimed at increasing,amongst other things, trade and investment between SK and the UK. “The Saskatoon Region is a great fit for companies looking to expand into the North American market, and we are always exploring new partnership opportunities for our local companies,” says Alex L. Fallon, SREDA President & CEO. “This investment mission to the UK is a great example of how SREDA partners with provincial organizations to help grow local companies and researcher projects on a global stage by introducing them to business partners and collaborators in Europe.”
