to cross the southwest-bound lane of the divided highway. The truck collided with a small hatchback car. The force of the collision spun the smaller vehicle around and it ended up skidding along the ice in the north ditch for about 100 meters. Constable Chris Graham of the Warman RCMP said it appeared the driver of the north-

bound pickup truck proceeded into the intersection when it was unsafe to do so and will be facing charges. “It’s a dangerous intersection,” said Graham. “A lot of people try to beat the oncoming traffic when they’re heading north or south crossing the highway.” The highway was wet at the

Area KidSport charity gets a boost Campaign kicks off Nov. 28 to help youngsters take part in organized recreational sports

By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Kids who normally would be on the outside looking in will get a helping hand thanks to a campaign aimed at boosting donations to the local KidSport charity. The Martensville A&W, in cooperation with the Cities of Martensville and Warman, as well as the Clark’s Crossing Gazette and the Saskatchewan Valley News, will kick off the fundraising effort on Friday, November 28 at 11:00 a.m. Donations will be accepted until December 21 at the A&W in Martensville for KidSport to help youngsters in need. The donations are aimed at helping cover the costs associated with playing recreational sports. Cards for the donations will be available at the A&W Martensville. In Martensville, Angela Reddekopp, Recreation and Community Services Program Coordinator, is the contact person for KidSport. Reddekopp said over the past year, a total of about $7,000 was distributed which benefited about 22 kids in Martenvsille.

She said she’s excited about the launch of the campaign. “It’s exciting,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity to get more exposure for KidSport and let more people know what is available for those who are less fortunate in our community. This will give us more exposure, and increase both the amount of funding we have coming in, and the number of applicants.” Reddekopp said the funding is also used to help community organizations, such as the Martensville Minor Softball Association, which needed start-up funds to get going; and also for community events like a free swim or free skate day at city facilities. Coralie Bueckert, Recreation and Community Events Supervisor for the City of Warman, is coordinator of the KidSport organization in Warman. She notes there is an umbrella KidSport organization that includes Warman, Martensville, Osler, Dalmeny and Langham. “The five communities together raise money for KidSport,” she said, noting that each community also does local fundraising and provides support to purely local initiatives. The campaign that kicks off

on November 28 focuses primarily on Martensville and Warman, but will also include the other smaller centres as well. “The campaign being launched this week revolves around paper cut-outs that will have a place for the donor’s name,” said Bueckert. “They’re like the Telemiracle hands. You can buy a paper cut-out for two

dollars or five dollars or whatever amount you like, and these will be put up on the wall of the A&W.” On Friday, November 28, Bueckert and Reddekopp, as well as elected officials from Martensville and Warman, and the publisher of the Gazette and Valley News, will be at the A&W to kick off the campaign.

“We’ll have balloons and stickers to give away, and it will be a fun event,” said Bueckert. She noted that on December 20 and 21, the A&W will donate one dollar from every Teen Burger sold to KidSport as well. Bueckert said since this is its first year, the campaign does not have a monetary goal, but is looking to raise as much as

possible. The need to fund kids in sports continues year-round, she said, and funds are always needed. “Last year in Warman we funded 30 youngsters who would otherwise not have been able to take part in organized recreational sports,” she said. “We distributed about $12,000 to individuals and groups.”

The boxes were collected the week of November 17-23 and taken to the Martensville Baptist Church, where they were loaded into a semi trailer bound for Calgary. It’s all part of a tradition that goes back 21 years, according to Lorraine Redekop of Martensville.

Thousands of boxes filled with Christmas gifts for needy children overseas were shipped out in a semi-trailer truck from the Martensville Baptist Church last weekend. A total of 2,966 Operation Christmas Child gift boxes were collected from about 20 churches and schools in area communities, including Martensville, Warman, Rosthern, Hepburn, Hague, Osler, Dalmeny, and Langham. Many smaller country churches also chipped in, as did the River-

vise the sorting and packing of over 300,000 Operation Christmas Child gift boxes at a Calgary facility. The sorted boxes are packed into containers and shipped to Vancouver where they eventually find their way onto freighters bound for countries in South America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This year a total of 2,966 boxes were collected from the Saskatchewan Valley area, said Lorraine Redekop. That’s an increase of over 300 boxes from last year’s total of 2697. The boxes contain school supplies, toys and hygiene items; and are given to children regardless of gender, race, or religion. In an interview on Friday, November 21 while travelling to Calgary, Redekop said the boxes are destined for Uruguay, Paraguay, Venezuela, Ukraine, Iraq and Syria. She noted that Samaritan’s Purse, an evangelical Christian organization, has a “good working relationship with a lot of countries because they’re bringing help to kids.” Redekop said the distribution centre in Calgary handles all the boxes collected in western Canada, and is one of three such centres in Canada. The others are in Toronto and Kitchener. “It’s a big logistical challenge,” said Redekop. “Everything from northern Ontario to BC goes to Calgary. All the boxes are unloaded and then over the next three weeks thousands of volunteers process about 300,000 boxes per week. “Every box is opened and gone through to ensure they meet the requirements,” she added. “Some things like tooth-

paste, liquids and candies are removed. Different countries have different regulations and we try to abide by that.” Items that are removed from the boxes are then sent to local charities. “Nothing is thrown away,” she said. “They’re simply redirected.” The contents of the boxes are repacked to ensure the integrity of the donations. Redekop said the boxes are then freighted to Vancouver to await shipment to their final destination. “Sometimes they can sit on the dock for a while,” she said. “Shipping costs a lot of money, so basically the containers containing the boxes are loaded on ships that have room in their hold. They’re essentially on ‘standby’ and they go on the next available ship.” The containers with the boxes arrive at their destinations over the next several months. “It’s a long process,” said Redekop. “Sometimes the containers with the boxes won’t arrive until July or August. But it really doesn’t matter to the kids who receive the boxes. Many of them have never had a gift before.” Redekop said Canada donated 654,000 gift boxes last year, and worldwide a total of 9,950,000 boxes were collected by Operation Christmas Child. The number of boxes donated has been rising steadily since the program was launched 21 years ago. “It’s truly amazing,” said Redekop. “Especially considering that every child only gets one box in their lifetime. It shows there are a lot of needy children out there.”

Corman Park turns down recommendation to pursue rail line anti-whistling measures By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The RM of Corman Park turned down a recommendation to pursue anti-whistling measures on controlled railroad crossings along the CN mainline from Range Roads 3041 to 3045 during its November 17 Council Meeting. The issue of train whistle blowing has mainly been an ongoing concern for about 35 south east boundary residents for years. According to RM of Corman Park documents when the issue was first brought to council it was estimated that the cost benefit study for this endeavor was not economically feasible because Transport Canada guidelines were assessed to be too laborious for the RM to undertake. The initial cost to conduct the required safety assess-

ment runs anywhere from $12,000 to $18,000 and doesn’t take into consideration the cost of safety upgrades. The cost of the safety assessment would cover crossings on Range Roads 3041, 3042, 3043, 3044, 3045 and 3050. It is also estimated that the process would take anywhere from six months to one year depending on which crossings were under review and whether additional safety measures are required. The recommendation, moved by Division 7 Councilor Joanne Janzen during the November 10 Public Works Committee meeting, recommended that council receive the report on train whistle cessation for the rail line between Range Roads 3041 and 3050 and that the proposal be communicated to area residents for it to be completed at their cost and that the results of the safety

assessment study be brought back to council including a study cost per rail crossing. At the November 17 RM of Corman Park Council meeting Division 1 councilor John Germs proposed that the RM agree to a 50 per cent cost share with affected residents on the assessment. “We all know that this is a growing concern for the folks out there,” said Germs. “This is like an investment in community just like roads. It is something people are asking for and the pressure is not going to go away.” Germs said even if the council could agree to cost share an assessment on one crossing, the results would prove if the venture is valid to conduct assessments on the remaining five. This idea led to a debate in council about whether to cost share an assessment on one

crossing versus the five mentioned, which had a few councilor members asking what precedent the RM is setting by agreeing to go that route. Division 8 Councilor Wendy Trask said the issue could open up a can or worms which will be difficult for the RM to back out of. “I know that it is more than one ratepayer, but there is only 33 or 34 that [are affected]. It is not right to make this kind of expense for a few people when it is just a preference of what they want to listen to and what they don’t want to listen to. I am opposed to it,” said Trask. RM of Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore provided clarification during the meeting on what CN’s responsibilities are regarding whistle blowing at controlled crossings. “CN is required to blow the

whistles unless they are specifically not required to. They have to put up the gates and lights and any double track. That is part of the Transport Canada regulations,” said Tittemore. “What this looks like is that sight lines are required to be put up as well as gates and crosswalks if there is a double track. What this means is sight lines along the slopes of the road going up and down the slopes of the tracks, in relation to everything else, is needed to make sure there aren’t any impediments that would require the train whistle to occur.” A requirement in the process would also require the RM to make public its intent to pass an anti-whislting bylaw if the motion was passed. The likelihood of that happening was not a reality towards the end of the debate when Division 6 Councilor Bas

Froese-Kooijenga said this issue is really outside of the RM’s scope of responsibilities. “In my mind this is not an issue for the RM because no matter where you are in this province or country if you don’t like what CN or another rail company is doing, the issue is between the residents close to that rail line and the rail line company, so I’m not necessarily sympathetic to the recommendation.” Judy Harwood, Reeve of the RM of Corman Park said her concern with a passed motion on this issue is that the RM may pay $10,000 while the other side pays nothing. “I would be more sympathetic to just study one and see what happens,” said Harwood. “I could at least support that which would give us something to build on.” Council decided to turn down the recommendation.

Students pull together to prevent bullying By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

About 150 students, teachers, administrators and government officials from across the province converged in Saskatoon for the second annual Student First Anti-Bullying Forum, November 20 . The forum provides an opportunity for high school students to share experiences, work together to find solutions, and encourage student responsibility in schools, communities and online. Representatives from the Canadian Red Cross, Kids Help Phone, Sasktel’s I Am Stronger Campaign, and Multi-Cultural Saskatchewan were also present at the forum. Saskatoon Greystone MLA Rob Norris, who spoke on behalf of Education Minister Don Morgan, said in his speech that student experiences will play an integral role in overcoming bullying. “You are vital part of this work because you are a voice at your school. You are leaders of change, leaders of today’s Saskatchewan, leaders of tomorrow’s Saskatchewan,” said Norris. “Imagine some of the friends you are going to meet here to-

day will be with you all your life. Today we will help change Saskatchewan for the better. You see the challenges that students face and you are going to work to understand and overcome.” Dr. Alec Couros, Associate Professor and ICT Coordinator Information and Communication Technologies at the University of Regina’s Department of Education, facilitated the day and gave a presentation on the role of technology and the importance of appropriate and responsible behavior both online and in social settings. Curos said youth and adults are faced with a lot of challenges with new technology and have already seen many negative uses. “We are looking at solving problems today in a reality where there is a digital permanence to everything and a viral nature to media, which means things can be spread very quickly,” said Curos. “These things can also be very damaging because they can be edited and taken out of context.” Curors said students, parents and educators “have to start thinking about how we can use technology where it is more humanizing and forgiving.” He provided examples of this

humanizing approach during his presentation by provided examples of how kids used blogs to inspire positive change at their school and kids who used YouTube to demonstrate inventions and creativity. In the 1990s and early 2000s Curors said a lot of time was spent scaring kids out of using technology when bullying was used through apps such as Kik and Ask.fm, which was a “reactive response.” But when people realized that mobile social reality is here to stay and that tools are necessary for the workplace and necessary for learning it was discovered that banning technology is not going to work. “We have to go towards the idea of how do we use them in learning, in the management of information and how do we use them in our relationships,” said Curors. Sandy Emke-kish, principal at Spiritwood High School, said teaching kids a responsible way of using technology has been a positive experience at her school. “We are a one-on-one school so every student in our school is given a device every morning and they take their devices with them to classes so half have laptops and the other half

Saskatoon Greystone MLA Rob Norris (right) addresses Dr. Alec Curors and students during his opening address at the Student First Anti-Bullying Forum in Saskatoon, November 20 have netbooks,” said Emkekish. “Next year students will be using their own devices so it is not lessening how much technology is in the classroom. But more rights and responsibilities go with that such as teaching students the skills they need so they can tell whether a site is phoney or real or what the context is and all those

kinds of things.” Curors said the idea of forums like this is to bring ideas from the government, school divisions and students together when it comes to developing or upgrading anti-bullying policies. “What we have seen in the past with anti-bullying policies is that they have come from the

top. I think what you are going to see is the continual establishment of ideas from the top with a lot of these ideas from the grass roots and you will see a negotiation between these two,” said Curors. “I think the best way of ultimately doing these things is getting solid input from students so that they can advise bullying policies.”

A trench was being dug across Range Road 3052 to allow for the installation of an upgraded water pipeline by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA).

Community Safety model launched in Sakatoon region Saskatoon and area residents will be safer with an annual investment of $475,000 from Corrections and Policing to support the province’s second regional Centre of Responsibility (COR). The new COR and the recently launched Saskatoon Hub make up Community Mobilization Saskatoon, a collaborative approach for addressing community safety and wellness. “This made in Saskatchewan solution aims to stop crime and victimization before it starts,” Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell said. “This model has seen

great success in Prince Albert, and we’re excited to see it expand across the province. In 2012, Prince Albert saw a reduction in violent crime 29.8 per cent compared to 7.7 per cent for the province.” While the Hub provides immediate support to at-risk families, the COR will focus on long-term goals and initiatives. It will be staffed by a variety of human service experts who will analyze trends, measure and report on outcomes achieved by the Saskatoon Hub. This information will provide recommendations on how to better address crime and victimization in

Saskatoon and across the province. Craig Nyirfa with the Saskatoon Hub said both the Warman RCMP and Saskatoon RCMP detachments are involved with the initiative. “When things are discussed, the group around the table will deal with issues outside the City of Saskatoon as well as inside the city,” said Nyirfa. “There is a process that is followed. There are a lot of implications for the whole region, although this pilot project focuses on the central division area of Saskatoon. Various agencies are involved and it’s all about

ensuring there is communication so that risks can be properly assesssed.” “Our team of human service providers will be more effective in addressing the social contributors of crime and wellness within the Saskatoon area,” Saskatoon Police Chief Clive Weighill said. “The COR will provide a valuable component to find gaps, analyse indicators and quantify results.” Community Mobilization Saskatoon consists of the ministries of Corrections and Policing and Social Services, the Saskatoon Regional Inter-

sectoral Committee, RCMP, the City of Saskatoon, the Saskatoon Health Region, the Saskatoon Tribal Council, Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools, Saskatoon Public Schools, the Safe Streets Commission, United Way, the Saskatoon Police Service and Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Services. Expansion of the CORs and Hubs is part of the Building Partnerships to Reduce Crime initiative, which is a key component of the Government of Saskatchewan’s Child and Family Agenda.

The Water Security Agency (WSA) has released a fall conditions report which outlines the precipitation conditions for the province going into winter freeze-up. This past year, most areas of the province received 150200 per cent above the normal amount of precipitation on what was an already saturated landscape. Due to this record rainfall during the first half of the 2014 growing season, many areas have as much or more water on the landscape than in the fall of 2010. Consecutive years of above normal precipitation have resulted in larger wetlands areas across the province remaining near full heading into the winter, and many creeks continue to flow at or near record levels for this time of year. The majority of the subsoil across the grain belt appears to remain fully charged, reducing the infiltration capacity of the landscape in the spring of 2015. Depending on the amount of precipitation experienced over the winter, this could increase the risk of flooding in certain areas during the 2015 snowmelt. At this time, a near normal snowpack this winter could result in an above normal spring runoff. Precipitation conditions will continue to be monitored by the Water Security Agency, and Spring Runoff Outlook reports will be issued beginning in February of 2015. The complete fall conditions report can be viewed at www.wsask.ca/ fallconditions.

youngsters about nutrition said there is a very real problem when it comes to kids’ sugar intake. “In every presentation, we urged them to use moderation when it comes to eating sugar,” said Wasden. “They’re never going to be able to cut out sugar altogether, and we’re not saying they should. It’s a matter of portion control and making healthy choices. If they are aware of healthier options then they’re more likely to make better decisions.” When it comes to healthy relationships, Stadnyk said the school is already providing strong leadership in that area. “It’s an existing strength for this school, no question,” said Stadnyk. “We felt we wanted to add to it to make it even stronger.” A “Healthy Relationship Rainbow” made up of different contributions from each student in each class currently adorns one wall in the main entrance to the school, and marks the culmination of one of the nursing students’ projects.

Sask Polytechnic/U of R Nursing students promote healthy nutrition, relationships By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Working with about 600 youngsters at Warman Community Middle School (WCMS) over the past several weeks has been a real learning experience for a group of fourth-year nursing students. “Definitely, it’s been interesting,” said Kelsie Wasden, one of six students in this agency setting as part of the Population Health and Community Partnerships course within the Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing (SCBScN) program. The 192-hour course includes 168 hours within a practice setting. About 60 nursing students in the course are currently involved in several practice settings around the province. “When we first got here, we were wondering what we could fix. We wondered, ‘what can a nurse do in a school?’ We weren’t really thinking health education and promotion. Now those connections between health care and the larger community are a lot more clear.” Since early September, Wasden and her colleagues Skye Gaudet, Melissa Marzolf, Brooke Burletoff, Chantal Stadnyk and Nicole Webb have been doing a practicum at WCMS as part of a course on Population Health and Community partnerships, offered through the University of Regina (U of R) and Saskatchewan Polytechnic (formerly SIAST). This is the second group of nursing students from U of R-Sask Polytechnic program to do their practicum at WCMS. The first group was at the school from January 2014 to April, 2014. The University of Saskatchewan Nursing Program has a similar practicum program for its students in place at

Warman Elementary School and Warman High School. The SK Polytechnic/U of R program and the U of S program are not connected with each other, but they have similar goals. Under the guidance of Sask Polytechnic/U of R Adjunct Professor Carri Hadland, the students have been involved with a range of activities related to health prevention and promotion in the school. “We are focusing on community assessment and community development,” explained Hadland in an interview at the school on Thursday, November 20. “During their time here, the students identified two primary areas that they wanted to focus their efforts on. One group did work on nutrition-related issues and the other group focused on promoting healthy relationships within the school.” Hadland said working with Grades 4 to 7 students has “provided the senior nursing students with insight, abilities and experience in relation to age and developmental considerations, relevant health education and community health development.” It’s all about recognizing that health care issues aren’t always solved at the hospital or acutecare clinic, she said. “It ties in with ‘upstream’ thinking,” Hadland said. “It’s a term we use in nursing quite often. If you take an analogy of patients coming down a river where they’re rescued at the bottom, and they have injuries or disease. If we spend all our time and effort on constantly rescuing, we end up expending an immense amount of time, energy and money, and the outcomes aren’t always very positive. “But when you look upstream at the root causes of those injuries and diseases,

You have fewer people who need rescuing.” Chantal Stadnyk said working in a school is a completely different situation than their previous practicum experience in acute-care settings. “In acute care most of our rotations involve putting the band-aid on quickly, and working fast,” Stadnyk said. “That sort of setting is what most peo-

ple think of when they look at what nurses do. But here, you have to figure out what needs to be fixed, or how to strengthen an existing program, and come up with a way to accomplish those goals.” The nursing students used a variety of methods to get their message across, and tailored their presentations to different grade levels. “We had classroom presentations and theatre presentations at first, and we quickly real-

ized that the kids relate to what we’re saying a lot better when they’re in smaller groups and can ask questions one-on-one with us,” said Melissa Marzolf. “When we did our presentations for the Grade 4s, we used a lot of role-playing and skits to get them interested and to keep their attention,” said Wasden. “The whole point was for them to have fun and be focused at the same time.” The group of nursing students who focused on educating

WCMS Principal Greg Tebay said having the student nurses at the school has provided benefits to both the nursing program and the school community. “I think there is mutual benefit in a program like this,” said Tebay. “Our teachers and students have benefited from the nursing students being able to provide ideas and resources, and from them giving talks to the kids and putting up displays. “I think the nursing students benefit because we provide them with an environment and context and connection to the kids in the community to support them in this community health class. Rather than just reading about it in a book or wondering about it, this provides a laboratory for them to work with young people and find out from the kids themselves what the real issues are.”

Are the good times coming to an end?

Wall Gov’t should improve transparency By COLIN CRAIG

Prairie Director, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

COMMENTARY

By law, you have to pay taxes. But unfortunately, there’s no law that says the government has to explain to you how those funds are being used. Well, that’s not exactly true. There’s a law, but it’s so full of holes that you can drive a truck through it. Transparency is a pretty simple concept that most people would probably agree with. However, transparency is one area where the Wall government needs to improve. Journalists, members of the public and nonprofit taxpayer watchdog groups like the Canadian Taxpayers Federation use “Freedom of Information” legislation (passed by all provincial governments, and the federal government), to investigate government activities nation-wide. In short, the legislation allows people to fill out simple forms and obtain documents from the government. The process isn’t always straightforward though. There are many clauses in the legislation that allow the government to withhold information. Some clauses are understandable as you shouldn’t be able to get your neighbor’s health records, a business’s private information or military secrets. The problem in Saskatchewan is that the provincial bureaucracy is using excuse clauses in the legislation too often and the spirit of the act isn’t being followed. The result – basic information is being withheld. Consider the case of the Regina Bypass initiative – a massive roadway project that the government touts as “the largest transportation infrastructure project in Saskatchewan’s history.” Given the significance of the billion-dollar roadway plan, one would expect the government to be transparent with most of the details. Especially as the roadway project is hardly a sensitive matter like a military document related to defending Canada’s borders. Disappointingly, the Saskatchewan government hasn’t been too transparent with details related to the project. Back in April, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation started to look into the bypass plan after people watching the initiative closely claimed to us that the design chosen could cost “$100 million” more than necessary. We asked the government for briefing notes or presentations provided to the Minister of Highways. Such documents would likely outline the pros and cons, as well as costs, for each design option for the project. The government responded to our request by claiming the documents were confidential. While we did receive some information through other requests, plenty of details were blacked out. The lack of disclosure was quite absurd. Another great example of the government failing to be transparent involves information requests we filed to find out how the government is preparing for our nation’s aging demographic. In particular, we wanted to know the financial impact for the health care system and what the government had forecast. Incredibly, the government responded with 72 pages of information, but blacked out 66 of the pages. Make no mistake, the Wall government didn’t create the government’s Freedom of Information Legislation. The legislation has been around for decades and governments of all political stripe across the country have used excuse clauses to keep reasonable information secret. But what the Wall government should be doing is improving the legislation. They should look at ways to restrict the use of excuse clauses and give Saskatchewan’s Information Commissioner the power to force bureaucrats to release information. The Wall government could also look at proactively releasing more reports in the first place. If you like the idea of watchdogs having access to more government information, then start hounding your local MLA to act on these concerns. Remind them that you don’t have any choice but to pay your taxes, so they shouldn’t have any choice but to tell you what they’re doing with them.

As the area of the province most responsible for our prosperity, one can hardly fault rural Saskatchewan for thinking it should have done better in the past decade.

MURRAY MANDRYK

Provincial Politics

There again, sometimes it’s hard to take stock of how well we’ve actually done until it’s over. And there is reason to believe that the good times for rural Saskatchewan; and the province as a whole; may soon be taking a turn for the worse. It was approximately 10 years ago that the great oil boom started. The first signal of economic success came on Nov. 16, 2004 when then-NDP finance minister Harry Van Mulligen announced the mid-year budget update for the 2004-05 budget. That revealed an $899-million increase in projected revenues. The ongoing war in Iraq and other factors had pushed oil prices to $50 US a barrel; half of what we have grown accustom to seeing in recent years but well above the finance department’s 2004 budget projects of $25 to $26 US a barrel. The government set aside $110 million for the new Regina jail and paid down $179.3-million worth of debt. It also “transferred” $171.1 million to its on-paper-only Fiscal Stabilization Fund. However, rather than a rainy day fund as might have been implied, that money was largely used for cost-of-living increases to unionized government employees who’d accepted less-thangenerous contract settlements to its unionized civil service.

For starters, while not every town or smaller city has benefited equally from the boom, the economic growth in places like Estevan, Weyburn, North Battleford, Kindersley, Swift Current, Moosomin, Warman, Martensville, Rosthern, Humboldt, Radville, Assiniboia, Canora, Melville, Yorkton, and Langenburg is certainly apparent. Whether immediately within the oil/gas/potash boom or not, many communities are clearly better off than a decade ago. And while one can argue the government should have and could have done more, new schools or nursing homes and hospitals, better roads, reductions on property taxes and the province-wide drug plan for seniors and children under 14 years have benefited us all. Unfortunately, there are legitimate signals that it may now be coming to end.

While the Sask. Party government has pegged oil at $95 a barrel this year, current prices are $20 a barrel lower. That will make it very difficult for the government to reach that $2.69 million in resource revenue. Admittedly, the lost revenue many not be all that dramatic We can still expect $2-billion-plus in resource revenue; which is nothing to sneeze at; especially when other government revenue sources like income tax have also doubled in the past decade. But government spending has also nearly doubled to $12 billion this year from $6.9 billion 10 years ago. Such spending increases may be hard to sustain if these oil prices remain low for a prolonged period. We just may have to tighten our belts a little ... and appreciate the good times that we had.

Poll paints embarrassing picture of young people’s knowledge of Canada I’m not one to critique anyone about being patriotic or chastize them on how well they know their country. But should the latest Ipsos Reid poll, entitled “The Perils of Perception” really surprise us? The Ipsos Reid poll interviewed 11,527 Canadians from August 12 to 24, and questioned them on information gleaned Stats Canada research. The broad range of questions included Canada’s aging population, religion, unemployment, crime, teenage pregnancy, immigration, voting patterns and life expectancy. What was interesting about the results of the survey was that Canadians ranked eighth out of the 14 countries surveyed. Sweden ranked number one with the highest accuracy among questions asked. Italy ranked dead last at 14 with the United States not ranking much higher at 13. If you ever watched Rick Mercer’s old but hilarious Talking to Americans streeter when he

The thinking of the time for the NDP was that it had better pay its debt; both political and actual debt; while it had the opportunity do so. But the true significance of this event was that it was anything but a one-year windfall. What few would have predicted at the time was the decade of such windfall for the NDP government and the Saskatchewan Party governments that would follow. “Non-renewable resource” revenue, which included everything from oil to gas to uranium to potash, would rise from $707 million in the March 200405 budget to $1.35 billion by that November 2004-05 update. And it really has kept increasing since: now $2.69 billion in the 2004-15 Saskatchewan budget released last March. It’s success we have taken for granted, but maybe we shouldn’t.

versity in Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan that Canadians don’t really know a hell of a lot about each other. Hard to believe when online information about Canada and its ten provinces is only a click away. In 2002 I was the only east coaster who attended the University of Regina’s Journalism program in 2002 and not one of my 13 fellow class mates knew anything about Newfoundland or the east coast except the fact that some of us may talk a little funny. Moving to Saskatchewan was an eye-opening experience for me. I didn’t know very much but I quickly learned by meeting and talking to people and taking out books about Saskatchewan from those wonderful archaic things called libraries. There is a wealth of information out there, you just have to look for it. I think the word library is a foreign word to a lot of young people nowadays.

Of the people surveyed in the poll, young people scored the lowest. So it shouldn’t really be any surprise why youth involved in the survey could raise basic questions about our nation. Maybe the questions should have been more dumbed down or culture specific ,such as what province does Justin Bieber come from, or what city do the Maple Leafs play out of? I am not twisting anyone’s arm that they should run off to their local library and sign out books on New Brunswick of Manitoba just because I said they should. It should be something you want to do. I know from driving across Canada four times how unique each province is geographically, which has, in turn, compelled me to find out more about the great country I live in. Canada is one of the best countries in the world and it’s yours to discover.

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

there’s snow business like snow business...

Workers with the City of Martensville were busy on Monday, November 24 clearing snow from the parking lot of the Martensville Athletic Pavilion following last weekend’s massive dump. The city has increased its budget for snow clearing in an effort to increase service levels and keep up with the increase in the number of streets built over the last several years. The majority of the budget increase will pay for trucks to haul snow out of the community. The city’s policy is to sand intersections as required, and to blade arterial and collector streets so the snow is moved to the side before eventually being removed. Priority One streets include Centennial Drive, Main Street, 10th Avenue (from Main Street to Lutheran Road), 6th Street North, 8th Avenue North, and 8th Avenue South. Priority Two streets include 9th Street North, 10th Avenue (from 9th Street N to Main Street), 5th Avenue North, Baycroft Drive, 6th Avenue South, 9th Avenue South, 6th Street South, Stone Terrace, Reimer Road, and 3rd Street North. Residential streets will not be bladed after moderate snowfalls because of complaints about snow ridges blocking parking in front of residential properties. Signs will be posted 24 hours prior to street snow removal. Any vehicles obstructing the removal process will be ticketed and towed.

Proposed hotel in Warman comes before council By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Warman City Council deferred a decision on whether to approve a discretionary use for a proposed 74-room, three-storey hotel on Centennial Boulevard, across from the Legends Centre. A motion was passsed at the Warman City Council meeting on Monday, November 24 to defer a decision on the proposal until the next regular council meeting slated for December 15. The matter will first go to the Warman City Council Executive meeting on December 10 for discussion and recommendation. The proposed hotel, which does not include a bar or restaurant, fits the criteria for the C1 zoning of the property at 701 Centennial Boulevard, but is classified as a discretionary use, and therefore must come to council for final approval. Approximately a dozen residents of the area where the proposed hotel would be located were in the gallery for the

council meeting. Many of them had concerns about lighting, traffic, accessibility and perceived lower property values. Warman Planning Director Brad Toth said the property has always been zoned for commercial development, and noted that conditions can be included in the development agreement which are aimed at mitigating any problems for adjacent landowners. He cited a 6.5 foot high fence and landscaping to screen the hotel from nearby homes, appropriate lighting, restricted access to the parking lot of the hotel from Centennial Boulevard and Clubhouse Boulevard only, and increased separation on the east edge of the property between the hotel and homes. Toth noted that concerns over noise and traffic due to the sale of liquor were not relevant because the hotel would not have a licensed restaurant, bar or off-sale premises. Sharon Martens, a long-time Warman resident, spoke in favour of the hotel development, saying such a facility is badly-

the Legends Centre hosting so many large events, having a hotel close by would bring tremendous benefits and is badly needed.”

When Dr. Alison Adamus opened up her office and phone lines to accept new patients at the recently-opened Martensville Collective Health and Wellness Clinic, the response was overwhelming. A total of 388 patients were acccepted in the first six hours. “We knew we would be busy, but we didn’t think it would be that busy,” said Allison Adamus. “It really speaks to the need for more family physicians in this community and the region as a whole.” The clinic, which offers a variety of health-related services including physiotherapy and nursing as well as family physician, opened officially on Tuesday, November 25, but was accepting new patients a few days ahead of that. Originally, Dr. Adamus and her husband and business partner, physiotherapist Trevor Adamus, had targeted a maximum of 350 patient. Trevor Adamus noted that beginning in the new year, the clinic will be accepting additional patients. “We have established a waiting list for new patients,” said Trevor. “We encourage people to get on the list, and we will be able to take additional patients after the new year. It also

allows us to gauge the demand for family physicians in this area, and helps us in our efforts to attract more physicians to this community.” Alison Adamus said many of the patients who have come to the clinic are former patients of retiring family physician Dr. Choudhary KaramDad. “I don’t have an exact count, but lots of people had said they were looking for a new doctor because their doctor was retiring,” she said. “They wanted to have a family doctor in their community.” Trevor said the clinic, located on Centennial Drive in Martensville, has undergone renovations. The equipment for both the medical clinic and the physiotherapy clinic is installed. In addition to Trevor and Alison Adamus, the clinic also has a full-time nurse and full-time receptionist. The clinic is currently looking for a part-time receptionist. The clinic is hopeful that additional family physicians will be in place over the next year. Trevor Adamus has also been accepted as part of the medical staff for the Junior Pan-Am Track and Field championships in Edmonton July 27 to Augsut 3. The physiotherapist has previously worked with national team athletes in other high-profile national and international sporting events.

tion,” said student organizer Jenise Schneider. “Throughout our placement, we did presentations and informal education on a variety of topics, but we felt injury prevention was suited to a larger audience, including the community. Hosting an interactive injury prevention fair with speakers from a variety of professions and expertise on a range of topics seemed perfect. We worked collaboratively with the staff at Warman High School and the guest speakers and together we were able to provide education on injury prevention, a topic the students felt has been previously neglected from the standard curriculum.” The event included guest speakers from STARS Air

Remembrance Day Ceremonies November brings a time to reflect and remember. It is a time to honour and cherish the sacrifice veterans have made to ensure our country’s freedom. Through Remembrance Day, each of us have the opportunity to recognise our blessings and freedoms. Warman City Council extends our appreciation to all veterans, lost and surviving; for their sacrifice, service and continuing efforts to defend our collective freedoms. Each year, Warman hosts its Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Brian King Centre. This draws many from Warman and the surrounding communities and is always very well attended. Our Remembrance Day Committee did a fantastic job co-ordinating the programming, slide show and brochure for the ceremony.

Water Utility Open House November also brought an opportunity for City Council to hold a Water Rate Open House. This presentation outlined the transition of utility water rates to include infrastructure life cycle replacement costs to our existing water supply rates to establish a self sustaining utility. This opportunity showcased City Council’s commitment to asset management, replacement funding and community engagement.

The Official Community Plan Open House is planned for January 2015. The OCP will present an overall concept plan for our city and sets the long term direction for planning and land use management. The Prairie Oasis Skateboard Park Open House will attract public input towards the design and features of the skateboard park. The skateboard park construction is expected to begin in the Spring of 2015 at the North-West corner of Prairie Oasis Park.

Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) Many of our elected officials, city administration, department managers and crucial city staff members attended a two day course, designed specifically to co-ordinate and develop a comprehensive understanding towards emergency response. From pre-planning, duty responsibility, duty assignments, communication, logistics and co-ordinated response tactics; this greatly improved the transition from conceptual understanding to applied emergency response readiness in our community. The provincial instructors were very impressed with Warman’s dedicated EOC space, resources and our commitment to pre-planning.

Legends Centre: Awarded for Excellence The City of Warman received provincial recognition from the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA) for the construction of the Legends Centre. The Cecil Nobes Facility Award of Excellence is awarded to a municipality for the construction of a new facility, where the unique or outstanding design contributes to the overall efficiency or accessibility of the facility.

Students may begin a class at any time in the school year, carry work over a semester or a summer and with the permission of school administration, take one or more classes in the regular school. In the latter situation, students are expected to follow the regular expectations of students at WHS.

Prairie Spirit Schools Foundation launched

Topics relevant to students

kept participants entertained. The nursing students hosted interactive displays on topics not covered by the presenters, Warman Co-op provided the guest speakers with lunch and a variety of prizes generously donated by local businesses were handed out. Monika MacKenzie, Grade 8 teacher at Warman High School had this to say about the event: “The more the kids hear about injury prevention, the better. Whatever’s out there that can potentially affect these kids lives and their safety is important they learn about it. I support hosting a fair like this again in the future, hopefully with a few more hands-on activities.” “The injury prevention fair was very informative and the topics selected were relevant for the students,” said Grade 9 teacher Lisa Kuchler. “I hope in the future we can expand the fair to include more students, as I think the upper year classes would have enjoyed this as well.” “We feel this event was very successful; it was nice to see such a great turnout,” said Schneider. “Thank you Warman High School staff for helping us put this on, students and community members for attending and presenters for volunteering their time.” The U of S Nursing College extends congratulations to students Holly Legge, Lindsay Hautzinger, Chad Michalenko, Jenise Schneider, Michelle Halvorson, Michael Luedemann and their clinical instructor Lynn Schmidt for a well-planned and executed event.

Approximately 70 people were in attendance, including supporters and local businesspeople. The Foundation was created to encourage and facilitate community and corporate support and involvement in public education. The funds raised through this charitable Foundation will be used to enhance learning opportunities for the students of Prairie Spirit School Division, with transitions to career, social justice opportunities and environmental science as possible examples. The launch event was sponsored by lead sponsor RBC Royal Bank, and by McKercher LLP, SaskTel and Prairie Spirit School Division. The event featured entertainment by guitarist Jesse Minto, Colonsay School student and the Warman Diamond Jazz Band. The event was catered by

Circus-themed play inspired by Vaudeville By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A little over a century ago, before the age of smartphones, computers, television or even radio; Vaudeville was the last name in entertainment. And its close cousin, the travelling circus, was the next best thing. In “Stop Sending in the Clowns,” the latest production by the Prairie Spirit Theatre Company, that spirit of corny jokes, slapstick physical comedy and purposely-compicated misleading plot lines is dusted off and paraded across the stage. The two-dozen young home-schooled students in the performance show their acting chops to a big audience once a year, and everybody has a blast with this one. The story revolves around the aptly-named Barnum and Bailout Circus, which is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. As usual, there’s a mean rich person, Beulah Von Schmellie (Emilie Martin) who is intent on foreclosing. And you know she means business because she has a couple of big-muscled but feeble-minded henchmen named Rocky (Gideon Kauenhofen) and Clarence (Isiah Krahn) to back up her threat. SaraLyn Andres plays Barnum, the ringmaster and co-owner of the circus, while Nicholas Gilbey is her business partner, Bailout. Tina (Taylor Martin), a magician and pickpocket,

is also in the circus game. They’re all con artists. But they blend in because almost everybody else in the play is too, with the exception of a few characters like “Haywood Seed” (Hay for short, ma’am...played by Aaron Hyland); Noelle (Jilissa Kauenhofen); the forensic-accountant-turned-Sheriff (Ethan Ens) and secretary-turnedDeputy (Tori Fehr). When Jethro and Dixie Bigham (Samuel Hildebrandt and Mackenzie Krahn) offer big money to buy the circus, it seems too good to be true. It is. The Sheriff and Deputy proceed to succeed in spite of themselves, busting up a smuggling ring, solving a kidnapping case and piecing together the clues behind a petty theft, all while surrounded by the pandemonium of an unpredictable troupe of clowns and a trio of pseudo-FBI agents. Adam Nosterud, who stumbles disarmingly through the play as a dangerously clumsy and nearsighted knife-thrower, is eventually exposed as the evil genius mastermind after a interminable number of plot twists and leaps of logic. All the performers, including Katriel Nosterud, Levi Andres, Deloney Krahn, Logan Kauenhofen, Havenne Kauenhofen, Faith Krahn, Ethan Hyland, Alyssa Hyland, Tressa Kauenhofen, Matana Nosterud, Avah Nosterud and Shira Nosterud, were on cue and did a great job. How these kids can memorize all those lines and choreography is amazing.

Jethro Bigham (centre, played by Samuel Hildebrandt) explains his so-called business dealings to Sheriff Doggleberry (Ethan Ens) and Deputy Jones (Tori Fehr) while his wife Dixie (Mackenzie Krahn) and Sideshow Ringmaster Bailout (Nicholas Gilbey) look on The play provides a treasure chest of all those old punchlines that broke everybody up in the 1890s: “That was no lady, that was my wife!” They’re all

there, and yeah, they are still kind of funny, even after all these years. Directed by Shelley Gilbey with help from stage manager Teena Ens, this

club of home-schooled students provides a great learning experience for young people and a fun evening’s entertainment for the community.

Mennonite Historical Society detectives root out family histories By ADELINE COX

cox.adeline@gmail.com

What makes seniors abandon rocking chairs for computers? For the elder volunteers of the Mennonite Historical Society of Saskatchewan (MHSS), it is the challenge of unraveling and celebrating their collective history. MHSS volunteers have gathered for thirty years to preserve the stories of Saskatchewan people with Mennonite roots. And last Wednesday evening, November 19, with a Christmas tree twinkling in the corner, thirty-three “gray hairs” met to celebrate dedicated volunteers who keep this historical society vibrant and alive. Volunteers like octogenarian Elmer Neufeld, who has indexed over eighty years of obituaries from the German publication: “Der Bote”. And volunteers like Board chair, Jake Buhler, whose passion was in-

stilled by stories his parents told him, and which he now passes on to his daughters. Jake tells the story of a member of Osler Mennonite Church, en route to an Annual General Meeting in 1945, when he arrived at a railway crossing in his sleigh. Snow was blowing and he couldn’t see the oncoming train. He crossed the tracks, the train collided and severed the horses from the sleigh. The animals were killed instantly, but the gentleman survived. He walked to the church and told everyone: “I have just been in a miracle. My horses were hit, but I am safe.” Some said it was coincidence; others said it was an example of God’s leading. Happy or sad, the stories are precious to the 10 member board and the many volunteers who spend countless hours poring through archival documents. It’s the treasured stories these doc-

uments tell that make up the lifeblood of the Historical Society. Every item is carefully preserved in the MHSS Archives, located in the basement of Bethany Manor in Saskatoon. By doing so, a collective past is preserved, while honoring the Mennonite faith that has shaped their lives. Archive volunteers also answer letter and email enquiries from people looking for their roots. In some cases adoptees come, looking for help to find their birth families. MHSS’ website (mhss.sk.ca) offers extensive resources; like links to the “GRANDMA” Genealogical Database, and the HYPERLINK “http://www.rootsweb.ancestry. com/%7Ecansacem/” Saskatchewan Cemetery Project, which contains over 3300 cemeteries and burial sites. Board member Leonard Doell says they still welcome more donations of family collections of historical articles, old books, letters, photos, diaries, and homestead documents.Even if do-

nors don’t know the identity of a diary’s author, or who the people in photographs are, volunteers embrace the challenge of identifying them and their family connections. This part of their work is affectionately called “The Mennonite Game”. The mystery subjects can also be pinpointed when photos are displayed at MHSS book launchings and Genealogy and Artist Days. If you are Mennonite, there is a pretty good chance they can find someone you are related to. Happily sprinkled throughout Wednesday’s volunteer appreciation event were tales of mysteries solved. Then, with his reading of “Twas the Night before Christmas: Senior’s version”, James Friesen capped off the evening to gales of laughter over wrinkles, walkers and Depends. Don’t expect these white-haired detectives to sit at home in their rockers – they are out having way too much fun.

Setting sail for adventure, discovery on Bethany College stage Submitted by

Internship Dirctor Bethany College - Hepburn

One could begin by describing the water, or one could attempt to tell about the rich, deep and changing colours on the set. One could talk about the amazing effort and concentration that it took to bring this drama together after a difficult month for the students and the Bethany College family. Or one could just jump right into the story ... be pushed into it ... let the salt water hit you in the face as you fall into a storm. On stage, the ship is rolled onto the ocean, characters stand in silhouette as the sounds and lights draw us into the storm, and then recede to make way for the rescue of Edmond, Lucy, and Eustace. Suddenly, we are in Narnia. Susan J. Schmidt Goerz, Ministry Arts Director, and cast brought us to Narnia last year through the wardrobe in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This year guests were brought back to Narnia in another C.S. Lewis story, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which ran October 30 to November 1 aand was the latest production of the annual fall theeatre at Bethany College in

Hepburn. Nearly 1300 guests visited Bethany College in five shows. Edmond (Matt Janzen), Lucy (Judith Schulz), and Aslan (George Hembery) were familiar to the returning members of the audience as this was their second year in these characters. Yet their characters had grown; they felt at home in Narnia and drew their audience in convincingly. Dynel Weber as Reepicheep demonstrated wonderful character and depth: the valiant mouse whose desire was always to keep the ship headed east – the utter, utter east - to Aslan’s country. The ship’s crew of Drinian and Rynelf (Josh Kehler and Mitchell Klassen) managed the ship and the voyage with humour that was new to the readers of the books, but completely at home in this script. King Caspian’s character developed the most as the performances progressed. Always kingly in authority and with strength of presence on the ship and on the islands, Bryan Vellacott’s portrayal became more human – more nuanced with each presentation. His struggle to allow Reepicheep to go on to Aslan’s land without him became increasingly compelling. And the character

that we first meet in the Dawn Treader, the very disagreeable cousin-turned-dragon and then transformed Eustace Clarence Scrubb was played by Derek Giesbrecht, who was entirely disagreeable – dragonishly

endearing – and convincingly transformed. As with all of C.S. Lewis’ fantasy books from his Chronicles of Narnia series, the storms on the ship, the islands with slave trade, the allure of gold

us. Notably, to Aslan’s promise that he will return soon, Lucy asks, “But what is soon?” Aslan replies, “I call all times soon.”

Talented Casa Rio horse rider has another successful year By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

When you win individual medals, team medals, and countless ribbon awards at a national equestrian competition you know you are doing something right. It is the second year in a row that Casa Rio’s Paige Hodson brought home armfuls of awards, which is the reason why she was one of a handful of athletes selected for Sask Sports Inc athlete of the month for October. At the Canadian Interprovincial Equestrian Championships in Montreal, October 3-5 Hodson won a gold medal in individual horse jumping, received first, second and fourth place ribbons in other jumping events and was named to team bronze and overall team bronze. For a horse rider of only 16 years of age, she said he is pleased with her progress in the 11 years she has been involved in the sport. “I really just wanted to go out and have fun. I really enjoyed being with the team. We are all friends from home and we all got to go on a trip together. It is kind of awesome in itself,” said Hodson. “We just wanted to go and do well in our own minds and accomplish what we needed to accomplish and have fun on the horses. I don’t think anyone from Team Sask expected

to do as well as the team did. We were a little shocked.” Hodson was inspired to ride horses at an early age by her mother who was a western style horse rider. Although Hodson is happy with her accomplishments in the sport to date, she has her work cut out for her to advance to the next level, which she is determined to accomplish. English discipline riders at the international or Olympic level compete at a jumping height of 1.60 metres. Younger riders who travel with team Canada compete at a 1.40, and competitors at the Canadian Interprovincial Equestrian Championships compete at 1.10 metres said Hodson. “This summer I competed in a 1.20 and I am hoping to move up next year,” said Hodson. “I have a lot of work to get there, but I feel I have the right horse with me to help me along the way. He has such a great attitude, he can help me and take me far because it is something that we can work towards.” A measure of a true athlete is one that can perform well under pressure. At her recent championship in Montreal, Hodson proved that she has that important attribute to be successful. With the championship in Montreal being a stressful 42 hour trailer ride Team Sask decided not to take its horses along, which meant Hodson and her teammates would have

to build a relationship with new horses for the competition. It was a new experience for Hodson. “It is different and definitely not something I am used to,” said Hodson. “Going in with a horse you don’t know is kind of tricky having to know where you can take risks, where you can maybe take a faster turn and go faster knowing they are still going to be able to leap and go over the jumps.” What is even more remarkable is that Hodson’s gold medal was won during muddy and rainy track conditions. Equestrian coach Judy Hunter said Hodson’s dedication to the sport is what makes her so successful. “When you walk into a situation where you sit on a horse twice. I mean horses have different personalities, and you have to know the ins and outs of that horse in a very short time to be successful and she has been able to do that. It speaks to all the hard work she put into the sport and talent,” said Hunter. Hunter said getting to the next level in horse riding is really all encompassing because it involves working on drills, skills and caring for the welfare of the animal, which she said Hodson is already doing. After her success in Montreal Hodson is not slowing down. Right now she is training to head to a show circuit in California, which begins in Feb-

Casa Rio’s Paige Hodson was selected Sask Sports Inc athlete of the month in October. ruary, which will kick off the horse riding season. Hodson said her passion for the sport is driven by her love of horses and she feels fortunate to work with them everyday.

“It is such a cool sport. It is so unique, obviously every sport has special things about them, but when we see people come into the barns that aren’t around horses all the time and they see how cool it is that we

get to do this you take it for granted,” said Hodson. “I definitely think that just working with horses they surprise you and you never know what is going to happen so it keeps it interesting.”

Langham students honoured with Outstanding Youth Award Submitted by

BRENDA ERICKSON

Prairie Spirit School Division

High school students from Walter W. Brown School in Langham have been awarded the 2014 Outstanding Saskatoon Youth in Philanthropy Award. This honour is awarded to young people who demonstrate outstanding commitment in the area of fundraising, volunteerism and helping others. The award was presented to the students at a special event on National Philanthropy Day, Friday, November 14, in Saskatoon. The Langham students are constructing four modular housing units in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, as part of Prairie Spirit School Division’s Da Vinci Project. Habitat for Humanity nominated the students because of their passion and commitment to this work. “The students immediately took ownership of the project,” explained Tara Martin with

Habitat for Humanity. “You can see the excitement on their faces and their energy around the project is infectious.” In addition to the valuable work experience they are gaining as part of the construction project for Habitat for Humanity, these students are also earning high school credits as well as apprenticeship hours for future journeyperson work. “As a Board of Education, we are very pleased with the opportunities that our students are able to access through this project,” said Larry Pavloff, Board Chair. “We believe that significant learning is practical, applicable and transfers to life after high school.” “They are also learning about the value and importance of being active members of their community,” Martin added. “These students are leaving a legacy that will last long past their time in the classroom.” The 16 Langham high school students began their work on the housing units in fall, 2013 on a compound next to their

school. They are now assisting with the basement for the units at a vacant lot on Avenue S in Saskatoon. The units are expected to be moved to the city by the end of November. In addition to the construction on the housing units, approximately 25 middle years students from Langham have been building sheds for Habitat clients and dog houses for the Habitat Re-Store. The Da Vinci Project’s vision is “connecting hands, hearts and minds,” with a mission to assist students with the transition to life after high school and looks to go beyond the trades to offer expanded academic and artistic opportunities. The project was named after Leonardo da Vinci, a selftaught individual and the master of a variety of trades. This is the fourteenth year for the philanthropy award in Saskatoon. National Philanthropy Day was established as an opportunity to recognize the ways philanthropy has made a difference in the community.

Hepburn Hawks win silver at girls 2A volleyball provincials By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

For the second time in their history the Hepburn High School Senior Girls Volleyball team will add another volleyball banner to their rafters. At the 2A Saskatchewan High School Athletic Associations Girls Provincial Championship in Langham this past weekend, the Hawks earned a silver medal. The last time the Vikings won a silver medal at provincials was in 2011. The girls didn’t waste any time and got on a roll early by defeating six teams in only two sets to earn a spot in the gold medal game against Fox Valley. The Hawks defeated teams from Wilkie, Montmartre, Southey, Strasbourg and St. Walburg. The unfortunate thing for the Hawks was their impressive run stopped there. Fox Valley was the only team to beat the Hawks and they did so in two sets to capture gold. Despite the loss, head coach Donna Andres said her team played well, but Fox Valley brought their “A-Game” to the tournament. “They were digging well and had one phenomenal hitter that we couldn’t stop,” Andres. “By the time we had her figured out and were able to play defence on her it was too late.” Andres said it would have been nice to win gold but losing to a great team like Fox Valley wasn’t necessarily an insult either. “The girls were very happy winning silver. When you play a tough team like Fox Valley and you play your heart out you can walk away and say, ‘I

am okay to walk away from a team like that. They deserved to win,” said Andres. It was an emotional experience at the end of the tournament for the seven graduating Hawks players, said Andres. “The tears came mostly because for a lot of them it was because they are done their high school career. It was a very good season,” said Andres. “It’s hard to see it end but I’m so proud of them. They all expected when they went to provincials to win a medal and that they did.” As a result next year will be a rebuilding year for the Hawks, but the five remaining players will provide a solid foundation, said Andres.

Vikings show grit

It was a different scene for the Langham Senior Girls Volleyball team. As host of the 2A provincials the team never qualified during regionals but Vikings head coach Shawn Huber said his team had something to prove. “The goal for us coming in was to be in the top five and we felt we were pretty close to meeting that goal,” said Huber. The Vikings had a tough start, dropping their opening round robin game in two sets to Fox Valley, but rebounded to win three two-set winners against Meath Park, Strasbourg and Edam before losing in two sets to St. Walburg, which ended their season. Huber said whenever you are the host team and get an automatic advancement to provincials you always want to show people that you deserve to be there and the girls demonstrat-

ed that. Next year the Vikings will have seven returning players that he thinks will be that much better for their experience at provincials this year. Huber said overall the season has been rewarding. “I felt improvement was made every time we touched the court and even if we didn’t win a medal I felt the girls were extremely successful this weekend,” said Huber. This was the first time Langham and Dalmeny teamed up to host a provincial tournament, which Huber said went off without a hitch. He said overall there were about 60 volunteers from both schools who donated their time to this tournament. “Words can’t describe how well our staff came together. We got compliment after compliment from opposing teams and parents saying it was the most well-run provincial tournament they ever experienced,” said Huber. “When the weekend came around Dalmeny staff jumped on board and had 31 staff and volunteers come out and were phenomenal so we can’t thank Dalmeny enough.” Langham Vikings Kelsey Wiebe spikes the ball over the block of Edam’s Kesha Schaefer. Langham won the very competitive match played at Dalmeny 25-22, 25-18 to earn #2 seed for Pool B with 3 wins and 1 loss record going into the playoff round

Wolverines will benefit from experience By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

It wasn’t the result that the Warman High School’s Senior Girls Volleyball team wanted, but the experience will be something the team can build on for next year, said Wolverines head coach Peter Schmidt. After winning gold at the 5A Regional Championships last weekend in Prince Albert, the Wolverines were hoping to ride that momentum to Regina where they would take on the top teams in the province and try to capture their first 5A senior volleyball championship at the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association’s 5A provincial volleyball championship. Schmidt said it wasn’t meant to be. “It wasn’t that we played bad, it was just that we lost some key matches right at the start,” said Schmidt. “There were two games that we should have won that kind of threw us and the confidence of the girls went out the window.” Those opening two losses came from Moose Jaw’s Peacock Col-

legiate and Saskatoon’s St.Joesph High School. In their opening game against Moose Jaw the Wolverines won the first set 25-23 but were not able to pull off a win in their last two sets of 25-16. Their game against Saskatoon ended in a similar fashion when the Wolverines shared a 25-20 lead in the opening set but lost the remaining sets 28-26 and 25-21. Their slide continued against Weyburn Comprehensive School who only took two sets of 25-13 to beat the Wolverines, which led to their final Pool A match against Regina Luther, which if they won would have advanced them to the quarter final. Regina’s Luther College defeated the Wolverines in two sets of 25-20 and 25-23. “It was in their gym and in front of their fans. It wasn’t because we were not good enough to be there, it is just sometimes that it just don’t work,” said Schmidt. CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

10 Reasons Women Need to Lift Weights

Fitness Tips

3. Boost your Metabolism. The less muscle mass you have the slower your metabolism will be; therefore, the more muscle mass you have the higher your metabolism will be. As women age, they loss muscle mass at increasing rates, especially after the age of 40. When you diet and don’t weight train, you could lose up to 25% of your muscle mass. Weight training while dieting can help to preserve and even rebuild muscle fibers. So remember, the more lean muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism will e and the more calories you will burn at rest and all day. 4. Get Stronger and more Confident. Lifting weights increases functional fitness, which makes everyday living easier. According to the Mayo Clinic, regular weight training can make you 50% stronger in 6 months. Being strong is also empowering. Not only does it improve your physical activities, it builds emotional strength by boosting self-esteem and confidence. 5. Build Strong Bones. It has been well documented that women need to do weight-bearing exercise to build and maintain bone mass, and to prevent osteoporosis. Just as muscles get stronger and bigger with use, so do bones when they are made to bear weight. Stronger bones and increased muscle mass also leads to better flexibility and balance, which is especially important for women as they age. 6. Fight Depression. Did you know that cardio of any kind helps to alleviate depression.....well weight lifting also has the same effect. Endorphins are released during aerobic activities as well as weight training. Many women find that regular strength training, in conjunction with psychological treatment, helps lessen their depression symptoms substantially. 7. Improve Sports Fitness. You don’t have to be an athlete to get the sports benefit of weight training. Improved muscle mas and strength will help you in all physical activities, such as cycling with the family, swimming, golfing, or skiing.....whatever sport you enjoy.

As much as it was a disappointment Schmidt said the team did reach its goal of making it to provincials, which was their goal at the beginning of the year. The Wolverines will only lose three graduating players, which will bode well for the team in terms of experience. Schmidt said that will be a huge asset for next year. “To know what it means to win at regionals and know what it feels like to win at provincials and the pressure is a great learning experience,” said Schmidt. “The Grade 10 and 11 girls going into next year will know what that’s like and the pre-provincial jitters wont affect them as much.” Schmidt said having that killer instinct and final push to the end is something that might have been missing this year, but anytime a

team reaches a provincial championship it always makes everything better. Schmidt said he hates to lose but he doesn’t want to take that away from how proud he felt about everything his team accomplished this year. “It was a good experience this year, they improved tremendously and for a first year coach going to provincials and having the success we had I am very happy,” said Schmidt.

The Hague Royals grabbed a solid hold on second place in the Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) after edging the visiting Dalmeny Fury 4-3 on Friday, November 21. In a fast, hard-hitting contest, the two evenly-matched teams kept things close for 60 minutes. But in the end, the Hague Royals came out on top in the ‘next goal wins’ battle in the dying minutes of the third period. The Royals’ record stands at 3 wins and 1 loss, while the Fury’s sits in third place with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses. The Prairie Outlaws are at the top of the heap with 3 wins and 0 losses. The Royals got on the board first when Nathan McNaught scored his fourth goal of the year about four minutes into the opening period. Dalmeny’s Brody Foster tied the score heading into the first intermission. Ty Currie of the Royals scored a little past the midway mark of the second frame on a nice give-and-go from Graham Hood and Brighton McFadyen. Fury goalie Ryley Boeschen, who stepped in after starter Dan Bauer was hurt partway through the opening period, went out to block the shot by Hood and was caught out of position when Hood passed the puck to Currie. But Hague’s lead didn’t last long. Dalmeny had a slight edge in shots over the game, and made the most of their opportunities. Kolten Fyfe of the Fury brought his team even again on a power play with less than two minutes remaining in the period. David Richard’s hard slapshot bounced off the glass and Fyfe quickly batted in the rebound past Hague goaltender Graham Hildebrand. The score was tied 2-2 after forty minutes. Hague’s Kenny Neufeld put

TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Hague Royals goaltender Graham Hildebrand turns aside a shot by Dalmeny Fury forward Justin Eden while teammate Joel Cardinal-Schultz looks for a rebound the home team up by a goal seven minutes into the final period, but Dalmeny once again capitalized on a power play when Dean Salzl scored a few minutes later. The goal that eventually proved to be the winner was scored by Hague’s Nathan McNaught with less than four minutes left in regulation time. Both Hildebrand and Boeschen made outstanding saves in the see-saw battle. Hildebrand faced 31 shots while Boeschen (and Bauer before he was injured) turned aside 28 shots. “It was a good game,” said Royals coach Roger Kinzel. “They have a good team and so do we. This is what we’re looking for in this league: the barnburners. Games like this are what will bring the fans back. It’s entertaining, clean and fastpaced, and they’re good players on both sides.” Dalmeny coach Stew Block agreed. “It was a tough loss, but a re-

ally good game,” said Block. “All four or our games have been really close; decided by one or two goals. It’s high-level hockey, and that’s going to be good for this league.” Block said he didn’t think the loss of Bauer in the first period hurt the Fury’s chances. “It didn’t help us, but it didn’t hurt us, either,” said Block. “Ryley came in and played excellent.” With only six teams in the league this year, the two rivals will face each other a lot more often this season. It’s a prospect both coaches are keen to see. “It will be competitive, no doubt about it,” said Block. Both teams are in action on Friday, November 28. Dalmeny hosts the Tisdale Ramblers at 8:30 p.m. in Dalmeny; and Hague will tangle with the visiting Bruno T-Birds in Hague at 8:30 p.m. Hague plays in Tisdale on Saturday, November 29 at 7:30 p.m.
