Foundation laid for new Langham Chamber of Commerce By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A Chamber of Commerce is on track to be established in Langham early next year. A meeting of business and community leaders was held in Langham on Tuesday, December 2 to test the waters on setting up an organization. A dozen people attended the session and agreed to meet again in early February to pursue the formation of a Chamber of Commerce. “I’m very encouraged with the turnout tonight,” said Nicole McLaren, a member of Langham town council and a businessperson in the community. “It was a good start, and I think there is sufficient momentum to take the next step. “We still have some key businesses in town that we have to reach out to and get them involved, and it will be a matter of demonstrating to them how we can all benefit when we move forward collectively.” McLaren, who is responsible for the economic development portfolio on town council, said the meeting was aimed at building communication links between the business community and council. “A lot of our growth will come from the people who already own businesses in town, and there are also many people who would like to start a business and would like direction on how to move ahead with that,” said McLaren. “This is a starting point where we can get everyone together and collectively look at how we can encourage growth in Langham. It’s also a way of finding out what services need to be strengthened for businesses.”

McLaren said a priority for the business community and for council is the revitalization of Main Street, which was at one time the main business corridor in the town. “It is kind of the elephant in the room,” she said. “Definitely one of our goals is revitalizing Main Street. There are plenty of opportunities there, and maybe it’s just a matter of communication and raising awareness; of making entrepreneurs aware of those opportunities.”

BUSINESS RESOURCES

DonnaLyn Thorsteinson, Executive-Director of Square One, Saskatchewan’s Business Resource Centre, told the meeting there is a wealth of information available to help small businesses. While the business resource centre has been around for many years, it was recently reorganized from a governmentrun agency to a non-profit corporation. “Previously it was government employees providing a service to small businesses and the entrepreneurial community,” said Thorsteinson. “Sometimes that’s not the best fit. The first thing we did when we opened our doors in March of this year was we stayed open over lunch, because we understand that is an important time to be dealing with business people. So we’re really happy to be moving in this direction. We started with all brand new staff, we serve the whole province, and our goal is to ensure that business owners and entrepreneurs have the information they need to get started or to grow their business.” Square One is funded

Square One (www.squareonesask.ca) is managed by the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA), with additional input from a similar economic development agency in Regina. “We provide information, tools and pathfinding to entrepreneurs and business owners,” said Thorsteinson. “That includes basic business research and reference services such as market analyses and demographic information.” In addition, the agency provides support to entrepreneurs in developing business plans and accessing financing from appropriate funding agencies. “You don’t have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to finding information and re-

sources,” she said. “A lot of it is available quickly and inexpensively.” Since April 1, Square One has served over 3,000 clients and met with over 200 organizations that assist entrepreneurs in an effort to streamline the process for business people, said Thorsteinson. While the agency’s focus is on businesses, it also provides information and resources to assist municipal governments, she added. Thorsteinson, a former executive-director of the Humboldt Chamber of Commerce, said she is encouraged by the move to form a chamber in Langham. “I strongly believe in the idea of businesses coming together for the betterment of the community, and of like-minded people working together to achieve goals,” said Thorsteinson. “That’s what it takes to be successful with any project.”

An informal network is helping to strengthen the lines of communication among elected representatives from municipalities in the area north and west of Saskatoon. The Saskatoon North Communities Association (SNCA) was formed about a decade ago and has three main objectives, according to Hepburn Mayor Barb Adams Eichendorf, who was elected chair of the SNCA last year. “One of the main goals is ed-

ucation. Many of the municipalities share a lot of issues in common, and it’s important that everyone is on the same page when it comes to understanding what the issues are within the region.” At the heart of the organization is a desire by elected officials “to basically get to know our neighbours and work together in a less-formal setting,” said Adams Eichendorf. “Then when it comes to formal meetings, we’re able to accomplish a lot more.” In addition to being a “meeting place” where elected repre-

sentatives can learn from one another, the group also benefits from outside speakers. A recent meeting in Dalmeny focused on rail transport of hazardous materials, and training for emergency responders within the community in the event of an accident. “This type of information is important for everyone to have access to,” said Adams Eichendorf. Other topics covered at meetings over the past couple of years include a legal overview of the provincial Municipalities Act, regional water

The other major goals of the network are to allow municipalities to work together and also to lobby senior levels of government. “There is a growing trend toward cooperation among municipalities,” said Adams Eichendorf. “We share a lot of infrastructure in common. For example, almost all of us are on a pipeline system that connects us to treated potable water from Saskatoon.”

New Building Canada Fund applications now being accepted By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Municipalities across Saskatchewan got the answer they wanted when it was announced that applications under the Provincial Territorial Infrastructure Component (PTIC) of the New Building Canada Fund (NBCF) are now being accepted. The decision was announced by the provincial government in late November. The $10 billion PTIC of the New Building Canada Fund is divided into two sub-components. The first $9-billion will be dedicated towards national and regional projects and $1-million is dedicated to projects in communities of fewer than 100,000 residents through a Small Communities Fund. This means that over the next 10 years, Saskatchewan will receive $436.7 million from the Government of Canada through PTIC. Of this number, $196.5 million will go toward projects that are provincial in nature. The remaining $240.2 million will go toward all eligible PTIC applicants and will be funded one-third each by the federal government, the provincial government and other eligible recipients. This funding was supposed to be made available when the NBCF was announced in March. But shortly after the announcement, the Government of Saskatchewan became aware of new new rules regarding PTIC design information. Consequently, the province held back from distributing applications to municipalities that would be applying for funding. A big reason behind the deadlock stemmed from the idea of raising the percentage of funding that Small Communities Fund applications would be eligible for, said Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter. Reiter said there was a lot of discussion between federal govCONTINUED ON PAGE 4

STARS remembered for saving life of Hague girl Family on hand for cheque presentation at thrift store By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Delvin Steiner is a firm believer in miracles. “I have two daughters who are alive today because of a series of miracles,” said Steiner in an interview in Warman on Thursday, December 4. “Some of the things that happened that day can’t be explained. But one thing that I’ll always be grateful for is the STARS helicopter. That chopper and the medical personnel who cared for my daughter saved her life. They’re miracle workers. I have no doubt about that. “Now, every time I see that STARS helicopter in the sky, I get a little choked up because I know what it’s like to be waiting anxiously for them to land.” Steiner and his family presented a donation of $2,000 on behalf of the I-Deal-2-U Thrift Store in Warman to STARS Foundation Development Officer Denise Kendrick on December 4. The donation was one of many the thrift store has made to charitable organizations since it opened. Steiner said while the events surrounding the accident that almost claimed his daughter’s life are traumatic, he feels obliged to talk about it so others can see the value of the STARS air ambulance service.

ON WAY TO CHURCH

When Delvin and Jesstina Steiner and their five children climbed into their van to drive to church on October 20, 2013; there was no indication it would be a day any different from the rest. But not far from their acreage in the Hague area, they were involved in a serious crash at an intersection of two rural roads. The force of the collision sent the Steiner family’s van into the ditch, where it rolled three times. When the dust cleared, the oldest daughter, Cindy, was lying unconscious on the road. The second-oldest daughter, Joycelyn, was left standing dazed and in shock, but otherwise relatively unhurt. Both

girls had been ejected from the van as it rolled into the ditch. The other three children, along with the parents, were still buckled into their seats. “The van came to rest on the driver’s side,” said Steiner. “My wife was hanging from her seatbelt, so I lifted her up and got her seatbelt off and looked around, and my two oldest daughters were not in the van. “I didn’t want to leave the van, because my worst fear at that point was: ‘what if I see part of them sticking out from underneath the van?’ But I knew as a dad that it was my responsibility to make sure the children were okay. The windshield had blown out so we just walked out through the windshield. I looked and I saw Joycelyn standing on the road and I saw Cindy’s jacket laying in the ditch, so I knew both of them were not under the van, which was a real feeling of relief.” While Joycelyn appeared dazed and shaken but otherwise okay, Cindy was unconscious and not moving a muscle. Steiner said it was “a miracle” that Joycelyn had somehow not been crushed by the vehicle as it rolled. “I can’t explain how that could happen,” he said. “It seemed to be physically impossible; I think God had a hand in it somehow.” But Cindy needed a little extra help from flesh-and-blood angels. The people in the other vehicle, who were also on their way to a different church, were unhurt and came to the Steiner family’s aid and called 911. The Hague First Responders were on the scene very quickly, and the STARS helicopter had also been dispatched. Cindy was airlifted by STARS helicopter to the trauma unit at Royal University Hospital, but paramedics had to intervene to save her life during the trip. “At one point she vomited and then sucked the vomit into her lungs,” said Steiner. “So she was not in good shape when they got her to the hospital. But because they’re so wellequipped, like an emergency room in the air, they were able to save her life.” Cindy was put into an in-

Twelve-year-old Cindy Steiner presents a cheque for $2,000 on behalf of the I-Deal-2-U Thrift Store in Warman to STARS Development Officer Denise Kendrick on Thursday, December 4.

The girl was badly injured but has had what doctors call a miraculous recovery over the past year. duced coma and underwent an operation to relieve the bleeding on the left side of her brain. The surgery was successful and her breathing tube was removed on Tuesday, two days after the crash. She was in hospital for a total of eight days. “When she came out of her coma, she had lost the ability to walk,” said Steiner. “On the Friday after the accident, a therapist came up to her hospital room and tried to help her take a few steps, but she couldn’t do it. The therapist told her: ‘Don’t feel bad, sweetheart. I’ll come back on Monday and we’ll try again.’ “But the next day, Saturday, she started walking a little bit by herself with us supporting her, and by Sunday she was walking all by herself. “By Monday, when the therapist came in, Cindy just climbed out of bed and walked down the hall with no problem. The therapist said: ‘You don’t need me. This is amazing. It’s like a miracle.’ “Cindy recovered very quickly,” said Steiner. “She’s healthy today, and so is Joycelyn. We’re

RCMP report vehicle thefts from rural areas exceed $2 million value Over $2 million worth of vehicles have been stolen so far in 2014 in eight RCMP detachment areas. According to Sgt. Carl Dinsdale of the Battlefords RCMP detachment, between January 1 and September 30, 2014, the combined value of thefts in the Battlefords, Biggar, Unity, Cut Knife, Maidstone, Rosetown, Rosthern and Warman Detachment areas have exceeded $2 million. “The bulk of these thefts have been vehicles of significant value from rural properties, most often left unlocked with the keys in them,” said Dinsdale. “In some instances they may have been stored in quonset huts or other outbuildings, providing a false sense of security for the owners.” Dinsdale said the thieves are ranging over a wide area, entering yard sites during the night and stealing vehicles, trailers and other equipment that is easily started or moved. On occasion they are breaking into outbuildings to do so, but for many of these vehicles, the theft could not happen without the keys being present, especially with newer vehicles and chipped key technology. “On one recent occasion, a property owner discovered the thieves in the act and went out to confront them, nearly being run over by the vehicle being stolen, so police are strongly urging the public not to make any attempts to physically confront or stop would be thieves and risk harm to themselves.,” said Dinsdale. Police are strongly encouraging property owners to take proactive steps to secure their property by locking up vehicles and equipment, removing the ignition keys from them and the buildings they may be stored in entirely. Police also recommend the installation of motion detecting security lighting in yard sites

Small communities benefit ernment and provincial officials on various aspects of the program. “There was talk about the threshold on roads that would qualify, what the average traffic count per day would be, because as you would imagine some of the highways in Ontario would be much different [than roads in Saskatchewan] so there was generally a number of things that needed to be agreed upon,” said Reiter. Projects applying for funding like Vanscoy’s Southwest Regional Water Utility have been waiting eight months to apply for Small Communities Funding to build water lines to homes in Vanscoy and surrounding areas. Reiter said he had hoped the deadlock would not have taken so long. “We absolutely hoped that this would be done sooner so we wouldn’t miss the construction season. That wasn’t the case,” said Reiter. “A program of this size reaching across the country nationally and still trying to get some provincial input; it certainly didn’t move as quickly as I would have liked to have seen.” Reiter said there is a lot of pent-up demand for infrastructure in this province and he expects to receive many applications from municipalities across the province. The deadline for applications will be in January. with decisions made sometime in March, said Reiter.

and on outbuildings that store vehicles and equipment of value. “There are also options available to install motion detecting driveway and yard alarms that alert residents to someone entering the property,” said Dinsdale. “More information on these options should be available from various security and alarm companies. Should any property owner discover would be thieves on their property, call 911 immediately and try to gather as much detail as possible on vehicle and suspect descriptions and direction of travel, should they depart before police response arrives. Since Jan 1, 2012, the Battlefords Rural RCMP Detachment has had 385 complaints of stolen vehicles, trailers, ATVs and/or snowmobiles. In that same time frame, there have been 291 recovered, al-

though not all the recovered property was originally stolen from the Battlefords Detachment area. Many of the vehicles being stolen are being recovered in the rural area south of the Battlefords, stripped of tires, suspension and drivetrain parts. Police suspect the thieves are reselling these parts, some of which would have significant value, such as engines, transmissions, differentials etc. If you have information about this or any other crime, please contact the Battlefords RCMP Detachment at 1-306446-1720 or you may call Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), through Sask-Tel at *8477, text TIP206 plus your message to CRIMES (274637) or submit a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers. com.

Combine trailer axle breaks, load hits the ditch FROM THE CELL BLOCK Submitted by

SGT. WARREN GHERASIM Warman RCMP

The following is the local media release for the Warman Detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for the two-week period of December 1 to December 8. The Warman RCMP Detachment serves the area north and west of Saskatoon, with detachment offices in the communities of Warman, Martensville, Radisson and Delisle. FLIPPED OUT COMBINE On December 1 at 9:25 a.m. police received a complaint of a single vehicle accident on Highway 12 near Martensville. The complainant reported a combine trailer containing a header flipped into the ditch. Police attended and found the axle on the trailer let loose causing the trailer to become detached from the truck causing the accident. A towing company helped remove the trailer and combine header from the ditch. There were no injuries and no charges. TRAIN PLOWS INTO SEMI On December 1 at 7:10 p.m. police received a complaint of a semi stalled on the railway tracks on Township Road 3070 near Saskatoon.

BLEW PAST SCHOOL BUS On December 2 at 2:30 p.m. police received a complaint of a vehicle passing a school bus while the stop arm was engaged. The bus driver provided police with a plate number of the vehicle. Investigation into this matter is ongoing and charges are pending.

IMPAIRED DRIVER On December 2 at 7:15 p.m. police received a complaint of an erratic driver on Highway 11 near Warman. The caller reported the vehicle had damage to the front and back of the vehicle.

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2014 PG. 6

Putting passion behind the logic of Energy East By DOUG FIRBY

Troy Media Editor-in-Chief and National Affairs Columnist

COMMENTARY

It suddenly seems possible that the premiers of Ontario and Quebec secretly want the Energy East pipeline project to go ahead, but feel they can’t say so publicly because of the political costs. Alberta Premier Jim Prentice came a-callin’ recently to two political leaders he desperately wants not to stand in the way of the $12-billion project which would carry bitumen from Alberta to Canada’s East Coast. The responses he heard were not as discouraging as they could have been, given that the premiers had previously imposed seven conditions. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said any of her province’s concern over greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions would be confined to those created within its border. That means the GHGs created during the construction of the pipeline, not those generated when the oil is extracted. Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard said basically the same thing, although he did tell Prentice that a terminal at Cacouna is not on because of its potential impact on beluga whales. Further, Couillard admitted the obvious: “Whatever the future of the TransCanada project, extraction (of oil sands bitumen) will take place.” Such ideology-free realism is a breath of fresh air. The National Energy Board estimates that next year, without one additional pipeline, Canada will export one million barrels of crude oil - roughly the equivalent of Energy East’s designed capacity. Even the most rigid energy critics have no way of stopping this trend, unless they can block the shipment of crude by rail. So far, they have been hopelessly ineffective in doing so, even with the high-profile Lac Megantic disaster as evidence of rail’s inherent dangers. In fact, the shipment of crude increased by 22 per cent yearover-year during the July to September period, according to the NEB. The facts help sharpen the focus on what this debate is really about. It isn’t an either/or proposition, as in either a pipeline or no oil. It’s really a question of whether Canada’s premiers are ready to show bold leadership on a nation-building enterprise that is as much in the interests of their own constituents as it is in the interests of the oil-producing provinces. Prentice came to these meetings armed with facts, prepared by the Deloitte firm. It estimates Energy East will contribute $35 billion to the Canadian economy over the life of the project. Quebec will reap $6 billion of that harvest, and Ontario - which learned this week that there is risk it could lose one of its three mainstay domestic auto manufacturers entirely - would capture $13 billion. Tax revenues for all provinces along the route are estimated at another $10 billion. Critics fairly question whether there are consequences associated with embracing all this economic activity, job creation and community building. There is, after all, the risk of future pipeline rupture and environmental disaster. Those risks, however, have to be weighed against the much higher risks associated with shipping oil by rail. Rejecting the pipeline doesn’t eliminate risk; rather, it heightens it. All very logical, but as Prentice well knows logic is a largely impotent counterforce to resistance rooted in emotion. If people think of energy companies as untrustworthy, then even the most rigorous of regulatory oversight is unlikely to sway their minds. That also explains why the compelling economic case also gains so little traction. People who have Kalamazoo-sized images of catastrophe in their heads won’t buy into a pipeline at any price. It’s time to reset the national debate. Instead of focusing on what could go wrong, it’s time to start talking about what is possible for the entire country. We need to be talking about how we can achieve more, and be more, as a nation working together rather than engaging in self-destructive turf wars. It’s the kind visionary thinking that led to our first national railway against seemingly insurmountable odds. It’s the kind of visionary thinking that could once again galvanize a country to realize what is good for one region is good for all. Prentice has brought his persuasive skills to Couillard and Wynne. They can best show their concern for the people they represent by selling citizens on a project that help build a better future for the people who live in those provinces. That’s what leadership really means. Troy Media Marketplace © 2014 - All Rights Reserved

Mid-year update full of bad omens It might not have been quite as bad as we feared. Nevertheless, Finance Minister Ken Krawetz’s mid-year update of the 2014-15 budget offered signs that things aren’t quite as rosy has his Saskatchewan Party government has been suggesting. One might even call it an omen. Just as Krawetz was announcing Saskatchewan’s oil revenue would be down a manageable $40.5 million from the March budget projection, an OPEC meeting in Vienna announced there would be no quotas putting further limits on Middle East oil. Immediately that caused a $7-US-a-barrel drop in in prices to a four-year-low for West Texas Intermediate of around $64 US a barrel. And while oil has slightly rallied to around $67 US a barrel, no one is realistically anticipating a large record. In the mid-year finance update, oil is pegged at an average price of $95 US a barrel for this year and an average price of $83 US a barrel for 2015. While both Krawetz and his officials insist this is simply

Provincial Politics

based on an industry averages, it’s considerably more than the Alberta finance ministry’s recently revised forecast of an average $75 US a barrel price in the coming year. Admittedly, we sometimes make a bigger deal out of the oil production than it really is. For starters, oil only accounts for 12 per cent of overall Saskatchewan budget revenues, while oil makes up about a quarter of the Alberta government’s finances. Krawetz also points out that a sliding Canadian Loonie below 90 cents means oil sales to the U.S. improve dramatically, somewhat offsetting the loss in oil. The mid-year update also pointed to improvements in projected potash revenues of $56.1 million and $82.4 million more in Crown land lease sales. Together, it has produced a $70.9-million surplus in the

risome is a major drop in tax revenue; $33.7-million less in individual income tax and $101.6-million less in corporate tax revenue from March budget estimates. Krawetz and his department have explained they might have been overly optimistic in estimating both. When it comes to individual income tax, less grain moving was certainly one factor. As for the slide in corporate taxes, finance officials speculate it might have been caused by companies taking advantage of tax breaks. But with some 18,000 more working people in this province and record low unemployment, it’s more than a little strange to see a dip in either. Moreover, we are also seeing overall public debt creep up by $21.3 million to $11.86 billion. And based strictly on the core budget of line items, we now see a $122 million deficit in the “core financial plan” (the equivalent of the old General Revenue Fund). Again, it’s not the end of the world. But it’s not quite as good as the Sask. Party government makes it out to be.

Star Wars is all about being young at heart If you are a Star Wars geek like myself you have probably watched the new Star Wars Episode VII teaser trailer “The Force Awakens” many times. Maybe too many times to count or just enough that when you go Christmas shopping you put your hand in front of your chest and gesture the automatic doors to open at Walmart, thinking that your Jedi mind tricks are allowing it to happen. If that happens you may be shopping alone because your girlfriend or wife may think you need professional help. In all seriousness, it is just an exciting time for Star Wars fans and even more so because it is hoped these series of films will be a lot better than the prequel trilogy where fans discovered the background on the series’ villain Darth Vader. To a Star Wars purist all you need to say is names like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princes Leia and you already have them on board. This series signifies something new for the Star Wars franchise. First and foremost, Disney now has control. George Lucas is the producer but he is not wearing director and executive producer hats and most important, they are not letting him write the thing. Thank goodness for that. What does “The Force Awakens” mean anyway? Yes, there is a dark side which represents evil and a light side which stands for the good. The teaser trailer didn’t really tell us anything and that was the whole purpose, but what

summary financial statement budget that includes the Crown corporations, not exactly the end of the world, considering how few provinces (including Alberta) have been able to keep their budget in the black. This is partly due to Krawetz’s ability to keep spending in line. Of the 28 line departments, 22 were still on track to spend exactly what they said they would be spend in the March budget. In fact, overall spending only increased by a modest $126.9 million; the bulk of which ($107 million) has gone to flood relief. But those who don’t see this as bad news may not be looking hard enough at the numbers. Besides the fall in oil revenue and overly rosy expectations of oil price recovery, there is the messy matter of getting $82.4 million in Crown land lease sales. As many rural folks already know, lower prices also translate into less revenue from exploration. And relying on the ever-volatile potash industry to make up the difference is never a great idea.

atres and my son will only be eight years old when the Force Awakens makes its debut. Maybe it’s all about tradition. I look forward to watching the expression on my son’s face when he hears that perfect 5th interval of the opening musical score, the words slanting up the screen to introduce the plot and the larger than life ships appear out of the corner of the movie screen. Every kid should experience the Millennium Falcon twist and bump its way through an asteroid mine field while avoiding being blown apart by the lasers of a dark side TIE fighter. It is just great visual cinema. I mean that’s really what George Lucas had in mind when he pitched his idea to 20th Century Fox over 30 years

ago. Star Wars was never supposed to be an adult movie. It was supposed to appeal to the kids and young at heart. All men are little boys at heart. Well, now that the kids who watched the original trilogy are in their 40s with kids of their own you can see why so many from my generation want these movies to continue. Kids don’t have to worry about bills, taxes and the dregs of every day life. For an adult sitting in a theatre and pretending you are part of the Star Wars fantasy world is what these movies are all about. It’s what you remember when you watched the first Star Wars “New Hope” installment 37 years ago.

Patricia Reid named warman citizen of year Patricia Reid received the Warman Citizen of the Year award during the annual City of Warman Christmas gala on Saturday, December 6 at the Brian King Centre. Warman Deputy Mayor Gary Philipchuk presented the award on behalf of the city, noting that Pat Reid has been involved in many community organizations over the years. Pat is the person most responsible for starting and nurturing the Warman Farmers Market, which has grown to become a tradition and focal point within the community. For the past five years she has served as its volunteer coordinator. Not only is it one of the most successful vendor-run farmers market organizations in the region, it is also a huge attraction for the city itself every week. The outdoor carnival atmosphere pulls visitors to the core downtown area of Warman and highlights the friendly character of the community. The vendors who are members of the Farmers Marekt describe Pat as a “positive, motivated leader,” an organizer and advocate. Pat is also one of the founding members of the Warman Chamber of Commerce and has helped with numerous sports and community orgaizations including the Warman Diamond Rodeo.

Warman resident wins second Duke of Edinburgh award By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

One Warman resident had the opportunity to meet Royalty and win a prestigious award during a ceremony in Ottawa, November 19. Daegan Banga, who is a member of the Canadian Forces and training to become a pilot, received the Duke of Edinburgh Award from Princess Ann. According to the award website, the award is open to all young Canadians age 14 years to 24 years and has three levels: Bronze for ages 14 years and up, silver for ages 15 years and up and gold for ages 16 years and up. The award itself is a non-competitive program in which participants set and achieve personal goals for community service,

skills, fitness, and adventure. The website also states that the award is a great way to explore new interests and try new challenges. Banga previously won the award in the silver category a few years back and was most recently awarded one in the gold category. Right now there are currently 44,000 young Canadians enrolled in the Duke of Edinburgh Award program. It has been estimated that about $7,500 worth of economic value has been created by award participants for Canada through community service. There have been about 500,000 Canadians who have pursued the award since 1963. Usually the award is presented to recipients by Canada’s Governor-General. This year the duty was handled by Prin-

cess Ann. Banga said it was a pretty exciting experience. “It is not often that you get an award presented to you from a Royal Family member,” said Banga. “She asked me a couple of questions, like how I qualified for the award when I moved out of the province, and how I am serving in the Canadian Forces.” Banga has been a member of the Canadian Forces for a year. He always wanted to be a pilot but had to make the choice on whether to become a commercial or military pilot shortly after graduation. “After graduation I put my application in and they [Canadian Forces] accepted it. So I went off to air crew training. There is about a 50 per cent fail rate on the air crew testing. Then

you have to pass all their medical testing. Then when you pass a portion they say ‘okay we will see what we can do’,” said Banga. Banga never found out he was accepted until June. He then went for basic training in St. Jean, Quebec and basic flight training in Portage La Prairie. “Flying is an unreal joy. There is nothing quite like it. It is a thrill every time you get to go up,” said Banga. “I am aiming to fly a CF-18 Hornet or fighter jet. I have been up in them a couple of times while working in Cold Lake, It was the best thing ever. I can’t even describe the flying you can do in those Hornets. I was hooked right away.” Banga said he has another three years to go to become a military pilot.

Coyotes best avoided, warns bylaw officer By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Two separate sightings of coyotes last week in Warman’s newlyconstructed neighbourhoods have prompted the city’s bylaw officer to issue a word of advice. “Don’t approach any wild animal, especially a coyote,” said Wade Eberle. “They may look tame, but they’re unpredictable.” Eberle said the presence of the coyotes in the area doesn’t appear to pose any danger to residents, but there have been reports of the coyotes preying on cats and kittens. Eberle said the coyotes have been spotted in neighbourhoods on Warman’s northern fringe, in the new phase of the Legends development just south of the new Highway 305, and also in the Redwood Crescent area in the city’s northwest. Eberle suggested if residents see a coyote, they call the city’s bylaw officer or provincial conservation officers to report the sighting. Martensville Bylaw Enforcement Officer Scott Delahey says there haven’t been any reported sightings of coyotes in that city so far this winter, but he noted there were several last winter in the vicinity of the municipal lagoon. “The lagoon is close to the dump, and it’s likely the animals were living in the area because the dump was a source of food for them,” said Delahey. He noted they are curious animals, but are also generally timid and will run away if challenged by humans. It’s only when they lose their fear of humans that they become a problem. While it is not normal for coyotes to attack or pursue humans, problems sometimes arise if coyotes become conditioned to or comfortable with people as result of direct or indirect feeding, according to the BC Ministry of the Environment. Conservation officers suggest that if you encounter an aggressive coyote, you should keep a deterrent handy. Deterrents include rocks, sticks, banging pots and pans, or tin cans filled with rocks. If a coyote approaches, a person should make themselves look as large as possible, and also wave their arms and throw objects at the coyote while also shouting in a loud, aggressive voice. It is best not to turn your back on a coyote. Coyotes tend to be scavengers, noted Delahey. “It’s best to have a secure lid on your garbage bin or compost bin,” he said. Sturdy fences at least two meters high will discourage coyotes from entering yards. Eberle said it is important that residents in urban areas do not feed coyotes.

Dalmeny dominates Hague in grudge match By WAYNE SHIELS

essenceofsask@gmail.com

The Dalmeny Fury used a strong second period to defeat the league-leading Hague Royals 6-2 in a Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) game played at Dalmeny on Friday, December 5. It was the Royals that got off to a quick start when Adam Schwark scored 26 seconds into the game. The Fury responded a minute later when Brodie Hepp scored his first goal of the year. The Royals regained the lead when Daniel Rauckman scored on a penalty shot. Kolten Fyfe tied game up before the end of the period. Dalmeny really dominated in the second period. Justin D’Entremont book-ended a great period for the Fury with a pair of goals, while Kolten Fyfe and Dean Salzl scored in between those tallies. Fury coach Brody Foster talked about the key to the Fury’s success. “The second period when we scored four goals was our best period for skating,” said Foster. “We were actually moving our feet. We still made mistakes, but because we were skating, guys were able to get back and help.” Hague battled hard in the third to get back into the game. Coach Foster was not surprised. “We knew they were going to be coming with us being up four goals,” Foster said. “Their D-men were pinching. We battled the storm for the first five minutes, and it kind of evened out from there.” Fury goaltender Ryley Boeschen turned away all 16 shots in the third including stopping a clear breakaway early in the frame.

Martensville Royals honour top performers The Martensville Royals high school football team handed out the hardware at their annual awards banquet at the North Ridge Centennial Community Centre on Friday, December 5.

The award for Most Inspirational Player went to Keenan Stiff; the Most Dedicated Player award was given to Jesse Wilson; the Most Improved Player award was shared by Ryley DeCorby and Carter Dyck; the Lineman of the Year award went to Nykola Dovgy; Keegan Lussier was named Rookie of the Year; Morgan Fournier was chosen Defensive Player of the Year; Royals quarterback Brody Kliewer was chosen as the team’s Offensive Player of the Year.

Dalmeny Fury’s Brodie Hepp skates away from a check by Hague Royals’ Travis Fehr “Ryley really kept us in the game,” said Foster. “If they score on that breakaway and then score on a power play we could have been on our heels” A real rivalry is developing between the two teams and tempers flared in the last minute of the game, resulting in a major skirmish in front of the

Royals’ net. Foster explained: “A couple things spilled over from last game. The biggest thing is to be smart. It’s not worth taking a penalty and sitting out a couple games. If you are missing the right guys it can make a big difference.” He added,“It is so close. That is the way it is going to be all

year. Any team can win on any night.” Indeed the competiveness of the FCHL is giving fans an opportunity to watch some great senior hockey. The next games for both squads is Friday, December 12 at 8:30 p.m. Dalmeny will host Bruno and the Royals host Shellbrook.

Prince George, BC February 21 to March 2. Jared Hamm made the U16 Team Saskatchewan and Jenn Nash made the U18 Team Saskatchewan, said Warman Minor Hockey Association (WMHA)President Cam Kayter. The announcement was made December 4. The selection process for the team is completed through the Sask-First Program of Excellence each season. The U-16 &andU-18 process began in February, 2014, with players competing for a roster spot on their designated zone team which moves onto the Sask First Zone tournament. From there the top 42 U16 and U18 players were chosen to attend Summer Camp at Notre

Dame in Wilcox and the top 29 then attended a September camp in Wilcox. Jared Hamm currently plays with the AAA Midget Beardy’s Blackhawks and is enjoying a great rookie campaign. Jenna Nash plays with the AAA Saskatoon Stars and also just recently accepted a hockey scholarship to the University of Saskatchewan. “Congratulations Jared and Jenna,” said Kayter. “The WMHA is very proud of your accomplishments and wish you all the best at the Canada Winter Games.” Former Sask Valley Vipers Chance Adrian (Dalmeny) and Joel Gryzbowski (Hafford) also made the U16 team.

Young curler builds on family legacy By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

When it comes to the game of curling, Worth is a name that people in Saskatchewan have come to respect. Peyton Worth is a third generation curler who is proud of her family’s curling legacy and is hoping to add a few titles of her own before she hangs up her broom and calls it a career. Peyton’s grandfather Harold is one of the pioneers in the sport in Delisle. In 2005 Harold was inducted into the Saskatchewan Curling Hall of Fame. During his career he attended 11 Men’s Northerns Championships, won Provincials six times and attended one mixed and one senior provincial championship. At the 2014-15 Junior Women Curling Championship Quarter-spiel November 7-9 in Saskatoon, Peyton Worth’s team, skipped by Hanna Anderson, Worth lead, Amanda Waterfield second and Madison Martin third, qualified out of the first event, which means the team will get a bye to provincials coming up in Humboldt January 1-5.

For a team that has only been around for a year she is confident her team can play well at provincials. “I think we can have a strong weekend in Humboldt. We will struggle against the top teams but could still have a good weekend as we did qualify out of the first qualifier and we already played the top two teams in Saskatchewan,” said Peyton. Worth, who has been curling competitively with Delisle Composite School since Grade 7, said her ultimate goal would be to represent Saskatchewan at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, British Columbia, February 13 to March 1, 2015. Last year the Anderson team finished third at the Saskatchewan Winter Games and were one of the top six teams to qualify for this year’s competition trials for the Prince George games, which begin next week. Worth said growing up in a curling family has its advantages, but she is involved in curling because she simply loves the sport. “I enjoy curling but it is nice to have the background and be able to talk to my grandpa about all the stories that he

Award winners include: (Back row, left to right) Sam Michnik - Offensive Player of the Year (tie); Reid Dubkowski - Offensive Player of the Year (tie) and Special Teams Player of the Year award and Senior Top Academic; Evan Morris - Lineman of the Year (tie); James Shirley - Most Valuable Player; Garth Knit-

has,” said Worth. “He remembers the shots from his last provincial championship and I don’t even remember my last game to be honest. It is crazy to see how much it has changed and it’s great to have that influence.” Worth, whose father runs the curling rink in Delisle and coaches her high school team, said her grandparents were always at the rink giving her pointers. When curling coach Natal Laycock came on board to help the team it seemed like their sweeping game was pretty much perfected, which is such a strong element of today’s game. “As a young player, I’m always impressed to see a strong sweeper. It’s really only been recently that sweeping has really been studied to find out ways to be most effective, and that effectiveness was already present before I came on board,” said Laycock. Laycock also said any good lead knows that the team lives and dies by their ability to set up an end, which is something she has been working on with the team. For Laycock, whose husband

Team Anderson, led by skip Hanna Anderson, Amanda Waterfield second, Madison Martin third and lead Peyton Worth are heading to the Junior Women Curling Provincial Championship in Humboldt, January 1 to 5 is a former Canada Games silver medalist, and brother-inlaw is a former World Junior Champion, family support and an understanding of the game is a nice thing to have. “When you grow up around the sport, it just becomes a part of you. You may develop a competitive drive or you may just be a social player, but family can definitely inspire a love of the game,” said Laycock. Worth is hoping she will get the opportunity to go as far as she can in the sport.

“I would love to see myself at the Scotties in the next few years and be able to compete against teams like Sherry Anderson as she is a really close

friend,” said Worth. “It would be even fun to play in a qualifier in a provincial see how we do and someday win the green jacket and be on TV.”

Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 3,542 units in November compared to 3,259 in October, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) (1) of total housing starts. “The trend in total housing starts moved higher in November after local builders initiated more single-detached and multi-family units. The faster pace of housing starts this year has been supported by increased demand for lowerpriced options in the multi-family sector such as condominium apartments and townhouses,” said Goodson Mwale, CMHC’s Senior Market Analyst for Saskatchewan. CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 4,733 units in November, up from 2,906 in October. While actual starts rose in both the single-detached and multi-family sectors, the increase in November was most pronounced among multiples where 252 units were started compared to 88 in November 2013.

Waldheim School scores double volleyball provincial championships Submitted by

R. DAVE HINZ

Waldheim School Boys Volleyball Team Head Coach

Waldheim School kicked off the fall volleyball season with the motto: “50th year of volleyball”. Waldheim has had a very strong tradition of volleyball since 1964. High school boys and girls volleyball teams have practiced and competed in the gym that was built in 1959. In the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and even into the early 1990s local teacher and coach Gerry Epp led the senior boys and/or the senior girls teams to several unit, district and regional championships. On two occasions, the Waldheim senior boys teams advanced to the four team provincial championship tournament. At that time, all of the volleyball teams from the entire province competed in one provincial championship tournament, as there was no 1A - 5A divisions by school size. The fact that Waldheim advanced to that level with that degree of competition really confirms that volleyball was very strong here even in those years.

15 PROVINCIAL MEDALS

In recent years, Waldheim has really dominated volleyball at the provincial level. Reviewing the following record of provincial medals reveals how consistent and frequent the volleyball teams from Waldheim have excelled: 1978 2A Boys Silver, ‘91 2A Boys Bronze, ‘96 2A Boys Silver, ‘98 2A Girls Silver, 2002 2A Boys Gold, ‘03 3A Boys Bronze, ‘04 3A Boys Bronze, ‘05 3A Boys Bronze, ‘07 3A Girls Bronze, ‘07 3A Boys Silver, ‘08 3A Boys Gold, ‘09 3A Girls Silver, ‘09 3A Boys Gold, ‘10 3A Girls Silver, ‘10 3A Boys Silver, ‘11 3A Girls Bronze, ‘11 2A Boys Gold, ‘12 3A Girls Bronze, ‘13 3A Girls Silver, and ‘13 Boys Gold. It is common for one school to have one group of athletes come through and dominate for a short two or three years. From 2003 to 2013 the two high school teams have combined to win fifteen provincial medals. That is definitely a consistently strong volleyball program based on more than just a small number of gifted athletes.

HIGH HOPES THIS YEAR

This fall both high school teams had high expectations for their 2014 season as both teams had completed excellent 2013 seasons. The boys had hosted the 2013 3A provincials and defeated Sturgis in the gold medal game. The girls had earned the silver medal when playing Watson, the host team, in the 2013 3A girls championship match. With strong finishes over the previous two seasons, both Waldheim teams were recognized as being very competitive, so they earned entries into numerous highly competitive tournaments with some of the best teams in the province.

WALDHEIM GIRLS TEAM

With an enrollment of 52 girls in the high school, this year’s girls team was, for the first time, in the 4A category. The girls, coached by Derek Zacharias, Roger Schultz and Jordan Heppner, won tournaments at Nipawin, RJC, Warman, Macklin and the Waldheim Alumni tournament. As well, they earned a bronze medal at the prestigious U of S tournament. It must be noted that the senior girls consistently placed higher in these tournaments than any of the Saskatoon, PA or Regina teams that had entered.

At the regional tournament playoffs in Biggar, Waldheim knocked out a strong Macklin team, and then beat Unity to win the tournament, and then move on to the 4A provincial championship tournament in La Loche on a very stormy November 21/22 weekend. The girls entered the tournament as the number one seed in their pool and proceeded to sweep through fairly easily. In the playoffs the girls easily beat Yorkton Sacred Heart 25 6 and 25 - 19 and then swept Tisdale 25 - 21, 25 - 18. In the gold medal match, the Waldheim girls played their best match of the entire season against a strong Caronport team. The girls capped their season off with a dominating 25 - 21 and 25 - 17 win. This win was the very first gold medal in the history of Waldheim senior girls volleyball. Congratulations girls on a fantastic first for the girls program!!!

WALDHEIM BOYS TEAM

With an enrollment of 32 boys in the high school, this year’s senior boys team, coached by Dave Hinz and Chris Loewen, was on the borderline between the 2A and 3A classifications. Their tournament schedule included PA St. Mary’s, Meadow Lake, U of R, Alumni, PA Carlton and Saskatoon Mount Royal Mustang Volley. Although the boys did not place any higher than second in any of their tournaments, the fact that the boys consistently played against some of the very best boys teams in the province really prepared them well for their playoff provincial run. The 3A boys conference was held in Saskatoon at Ecole Canadienne and the Waldheim boys easily swept all their matches. The 3A boys regionals was also held in Saskatoon Ecole Canadienne and this was a much harder test for the boys. They beat Bellevue in tough, exciting round robin match, then easily beat Ecole Canadienne in the semis followed by a win against a strong team from Sturgeon Lake. In the provincial championship tournament hosted in Bellevue/Wakaw on November 28/29, the Waldheim team was seeded number one. Their play through their pool confirmed their seeding as they easily swept Langenburg, Paradise Hill, Moose Jaw Cornerstone, and Sturgis in round robin play. In the first playoff match Waldheim easily defeated Ille a La Crosse Rossignol 25 - 14, 25 - 12 then faced host Bellevue in the semi-finals. Waldheim defeated Bellevue 25 - 16 and 25 - 20 in a well played and very loud match to advance to the gold medal game. In the first set of the finals against Sturgeon Lake, Waldheim won 25 - 9. In the second game Waldheim coasted, made some uncharacteristic errors and Sturgeon Lake played with new found

double gold for waldheim school

The Waldheim School boys and girls volleyball team members include: (Back row, left to right) Girls Coach Derek Zacharias, Aaron Fehr, Cody Field, Tyler Ens, Drew Harder, Nick Janz, Logan Wilton, Boys Coach Dave Hinz (Third row)Girls Asst Coach Roger Schultz, Wilson Gomez, Spencer Fehr, Andrew Pauls, Hunter Martens, Peter Spence, Jose Sierra, Boys Asst. Coach Chris Loewen (Second row) Kayla Zazula, Reece Harder, Jessica Zacharias, Mercedes Redekopp, Cadence Fehr, Teigan Arends (Front row) Ireland Ashby, Ashley Zacharias, MacKenzie Schmidt, Mia Harder energy which all combined to enable Sturgeon Lake to win 25 - 21. In the final game a strong nine point serving run by left side Cody Field led Waldheim to a dominating score of 25 - 12 and the 2014 gold medal victory.

STRONG FUTURE

With the high school girls losing only two grade 12s they could continue to be a strong contender in the coming years. The boys will be losing six grade 12s so they will definitely be in rebuilding mode this coming season. However, there are young players coming up in both the boys and girls junior teams who can fill the gaps and continue Waldheim’s excellent volleyball tradition.

CLUB, COLLEGE SUCCESS

With the high school volleyball season over the focus shifts over to the club season. Last year the Waldheim SVVC United U - 17 team won the Saskatchewan Volleyball Association (SVA) top tier 1 provincial gold medal and they aim to continue this high level of play this season in the U 18 category. Waldheim’s volleyball success can definitely be linked to its participation in the SVA winter club

program. Graduates from our program are also doing very well at the college level. This year the following Waldheim high school alumni are playing on collegiate or university teams: Zac Ens (outside), Briercrest Bible College, Caronport SK, Matthew Pauls (Libero), Briercrest Bible College, Caronport SK, Thomas Regier (libero) at Augustana University, Camrose AB, Thomas Willems (Outside), Briercrest Bible College, Caronport SK, Samantha Zacharias (left side) at Briercrest Bible College, Caronport SK, Erika Zazula (libero) at Columbia Bible College, Abbotsford BC. This list confirms that the volleyball program at Waldheim School has produced athletes capable of competing at the next level. Although Waldheim has enjoyed fifty entertaining years of volleyball, it is only through the continuing commitment of players, coaches, parents and school staff that the volleyball tradition will continue on. This was a great season and it is very special that the first time that the girls won high school gold and the boys won gold was on the 50th anniversary of volleyball here in Waldheim. It is safe to say that volleyball is alive and well in the ‘heim. It is now time to reload for another fifty years of entertaining volleyball.

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Dundurn Wheatkings are hoping the team’s latest roster addition will add to the team’s depth and be an inspiration to a team that has struggled on the score sheet despite playing solid games, said Wheatkings head coach Rich Seaward. “It is just one of those things where you have someone who is a really good hockey player and just makes everyone better,” said Seward. Forward Jason Wagar is a former University of Saskatch-

ewan Husky. He played junior hockey in the SJHL and has the potential to be a great twoway player who will contribute in both offence and defensive roles, said Seward. “Having a two-way player is a great problem to have and I see him playing defence right away,” said Seaward. “One of our regular defencemen, Monty Zdunick is out for the rest of the season. Right now we are down to four defencemen. We got another guy who can probably play defence plus Wagar.” The Wheatkings are a couple of games under .500 with

three wins and five losses in eight games. The team’s upcoming five game stretch will see the Wheatkings play home and home games with the Jansen Jets. They face the Allan Flames twice and a single game against the Imperial Sabres. Seaward said he is expecting his team to win at least four out of the five games leading into the Christmas break. “There is no reason we can’t go on a bit of a streak here. I think the guys understand that,” said Seaward. “We are getting back to how we are accustomed to playing.”
