A youngster gets some serious altitude on his snowboard as he flies over a jump on the hill in Gidluck Park near the Legends Centre in Warman on Monday, February 16. The fresh snowfall, combined with bright sunshine, attracted a lot of kids eager to try out their winter toys on the hill. The kids will have plenty of other opportunities this week as the schools are closed for their annual February break.

Affinity Credit Union closing Osler, Hepburn branches By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Affinity Credit Union is closing twelve of its branches across Saskatchewan, including those in Hepburn, Osler and Laird. The branches in the affected communities will close on June 30, 2015. Affinity Credit Union Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mark Lane said the decision by Affinity’s Board of Directors to close the branches was made after a lengthy review. “There’s a lot that goes into a decision like this,” said Lane in an interview on Friday, February 13. “We are well aware it is a change that will have an impact on those communities, and we want to stress that it was a very difficult decision.” Lane said the closures reflect lower traffic numbers in the affected branches, many of which are only open a few days a week. “In part it’s about the economics of the overall operation,” said Lane. “You need to be able to justify business volumes and transactions. Like any business, you have to make the best use of your resources as possible. But it’s not just about profitability. The reality is that branch traffic today looks much different in all our branches than it did ten years ago. “Members are, frankly, using their credit union much differently today than they did at the time the infrastructure was originally put in place.”

INTERNET BANKING

Lane said credit union members are increasingly using other “service delivery channels such as mobile, internet and telephone banking” for their transactions. “Like most Canadians, they are attracted by much greater flexibility in today’s mobile and connected world. We must continually adapt to meet the changing needs of members.” The other Affinity Credit Union branches in Saskatchewan slated to close in June are Tugaske, Bulyea, Togo, Paddockwood, Weldon, Star City, Spalding, Manor and Beaubier. Lane said the closures need to be viewed in the context of

an evolving financial services industry. “We’re well aware that our members are looking for more convenient service delivery channels and methodologies, including online banking and mobile banking,” said Lane. “But they are also looking for contact centres with longer hours and more days of service. Those are all examples of how the financial service industry is evolving at a very rapid pace. “It’s not an understatement to say that for the majority of Canadians today, banking has become something you do rather than somewhere you go.” Lane said Affinity still has 64 branches across the province, with over 50 of those locations outside the major cities. He noted several of them have extended service hours.

SENIORS AFFECTED

Lane acknowledged that seniors in the affected communities are the ones most likely to feel the impact. “That’s the group we’re most concerned about,” he said. “Another sector is the small businesses in those communities. “But we will be putting a tremendous amount of effort between now and the end of June into working one-on-one with our senior credit union members to help them make adjustments to their banking habits.” Lane said the credit union is putting additional resources into the branches to help the current staff educate the members about alternate ways to pay their bills and do day-today transactions.

FEDERAL DIRECT DEPOSIT

Lane noted the federal government is phasing out paper-based cheques for seniors’ pensions, including Old Age Security (OAS) and Canada Pension Plan (CPP) in favour of electronic direct-deposit. “As of April, 2016, all those programs will be direct deposit,” said Lane. “In order to receive payments from CPP or OAS, seniors will have to have an account at a financial institution for direct deposit.” Lane said in addition to seCONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Firemen’s Ball celebrates emergency responders By HILARY KLASSEN

hilarylklassen@gmail.com

Having a valentine’s theme provided a perfect backdrop for the first annual Dalmeny Firemen’s Ball. Held in the beautifully decorated J. J. Loewen’s Centre in Dalmeny, the evening drew a lot of support for the town’s emergency services personnel. The formal event was also a fundraiser, and the fulfillment of a long held hope of firefighter Christine Picard. For the past few years, a contingent from the Dalmeny Firefighters Department (DFD) has been attending similar events hosted by their counterparts -- mutual aid departments in Osler, Warman and Martensville. “They do such a great job of it and it’s a good way to get the community involved, kind of a formal night out, with lots of socializing and it’s a good fundraiser. So I was wondering if we could do something like that and start the tradition here,” said Picard. She led the initiative in Dalmeny both conceptually and practically, planning the evening after bringing the department onside. Valentine’s Day was chosen in part to honour the support

When they stood up to be recognized, fire chief Rick Elder held up a photo of his absentee wife Joanne Elder, who is a lieutenant with the service, to general applause and laughter. The event drew about 160 people who chose to plow through the biggest snow dump of the season to be there. Elder acknowledged support from various agencies in attendance. “We have representation from the Canadian Armed

Forces, RCMP, Dalmeny Police Service, Search and Rescue and our mutual aid partners of Osler, Warman, Martensville and Langham fire departments as well as Dalmeny fire and rescue. But it doesn’t stop there. It’s our privilege to acknowledge the representation of response agencies well outside our first due areas: DND Wainwright, Cudworth, Paradise Valley and Lloydminster. Your support is humbling,” he said. The evening proceeded without a hitch, beginning with cocktails followed by dinner catered by Country Style BBQ, a silent auction and a dance with a live band. Elder said the intent of the function was twofold: there was the fund-raising component, but just as important was the opportunity for the community to interact in a different capacity with members of various emergency services. Before dinner, bagpipes signaled the beginning of the Fallen Comrades Ceremony. Fire chief Elder, police chief Ted Mossop and others walked to the front, each carrying a hat to symbolize a different area of public protection. The hats were placed on a round table

decorated with symbols to facilitate remembrance of the brave men and women who answered the nation’s call to serve. Funds raised will go toward expanding the Dalmeny firefighters training grounds for burn and extrication training. “We’re looking to purchase some equipment for our expanded training grounds, so sea cans for doing confined space entry, and then to purchase some training props so we can get some more realistic training in,” said Picard. In addition to some spectacular items on offer in the silent auction (two flight tickets anywhere WestJet flies, two train tickets to Jasper with VIA rail, several sports jerseys and much more), a dinner for four, to be fully catered by members of the DFD, was live-auctioned off. The SED Foundation, an arm of Seed Masters, provided support for the event in the form of a large donation, according to Picard. “It got us started and got us where we are today and we definitely couldn’t have done it without them.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Delisle Elementary Grade One students stand up for education By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

It’s an unconventional classroom, but the students in Justin Sauer’s Grade One class at Delisle Elementary School still have their feet firmly planted on the ground. The kids are learning at their desks, but they aren’t sitting down. Last October, the traditional one-piece desks in the classroom were replaced with desks that have adjustable legs. Each desk was customized to the height of the individual student so that they could write and draw at a comfortable angle while standing up. It’s an idea whose time has come, according to Sauer. In an interview at the school on Thursday, February 12, Sauer said there are noticeable benefits for the kids, both in terms of their health and also their academic achievements. “It’s a difficult thing to quantify, admittedly,” said Sauer. “But anecdotally, I can easily think of at least half a dozen students in the class who have benefited. Without a doubt, their academic achievements and their ability to listen and pay attention and follow instructions have really improved.” And for the rest of the class, it certainly hasn’t hurt them at all, he added. “In a worst case scenario, even if all the learning is the same as if they were sitting, they’re still benefiting because they’re using their body core. When you’re sitting down, your core gets soft and your body shuts down and you eventually tend to go into a slouch position. When you’re standing up it’s much harder to do that.”

Sauer said there is a growing body of literature analyzing the beneficial impact for adults of standing while working at their desks, but little has been done for children. He said he began researching the issue when he was looking at his own personal rehabilitation issues. “I had a knee and hip problem,” he said. “And I started coming across a lot of ‘standing desk’ ideas, including one by a physiotherapist in San Francisco who converted his daughter’s classroom all to standing desks. So that piqued my interest.” Sauer said he decided to try it, and with the help of the school administration and other teachers he adapted the classroom. The kids were enthusiastic and have adjusted well to the change, he added. The Saskatoon Health Region (SHR) has also given the experiment the thumbs up. In a news release, Dr. Julie Kryzanowski, Deputy Medical Health Officer for the SHR, said “substantial evidence links sedentariness with a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity, reduction in bone mineral density and high blood pressure.” Kryzanowksi said today’s generation of children are spending record amounts of time sitting, so incorporating more physical activity during the school day is an important way to reduce ‘sitting disease’ among children. “Grade One is when kids first do a lot of sitting and coincidentally, it is also when we start to see behavioural and health issues,” she said. Sauer said the kids aren’t standing all day long. “They have lots of breaks,”

said Sauer. “There are many times when they’re listening to a story while sitting on the carpet, and they spend a lot of time getting instruction on the carpet before they go off to do their jobs. They also have reading time where they can curl up in a chair or whatever.” Sauer said he wants to continue utilizing the stand-up desks next year with a new class. He adds that it will be interesting to see if the students in this current Grade One class will want to continue using stand-up desks when they move on to Grade Two next year. “After we made the switch back in October, none of the kids wanted to go back to the sitting desks again,” he said. He noted that there is interest among other teachers for stand-up desks in their classrooms, and said he welcomes constructive suggestions for improvement.

Borden mayor resigns, seeks Sask Party nomination By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Mayor of Borden has resigned his position in order to seek the Sask Party nomination in the constituency of Westview in Saskatoon. Dave Buckingham confirmed in an interview on Tuesday, February 17, that he resigned at a Village of Borden council meeting last week. Borden councilor Jamie Brandrick also resigned at that meeting. The two resignations are not related, according to Buckingham. The village has set the wheels in motion to hold a bye-

lection for the position of mayor. Nominations for the position open February 19 and close March 11. A byelection for mayor will be held if there is more than one candidate for the position. Buckingham said his resignation was effective immediately following the meeting last week. His term would normally have expired in the fall of 2016. “I’ve been pondering a move to run for provincial politics for about a year and a half now,” said Buckingham, who is vicepresident of the Sask Party Biggar-Sask Valley constituency association. He said his involvement in the party at the local

level had strengthened his desire to be more involved in provincial politics. Another factor that helped motivate him was the flood that hit the village of Borden and Town of Radisson in the spring of 2013. “In the year that followed the flood, there were lots of meetings and trips to Regina to work out the logistics with provincial representatives, and I thought I would enjoy the challenge of provincial politics,” said Buckingham. Buckingham said he will miss being mayor, a post he’s held for the past eight and a half years, but said he’s looking forward to the challenge of con-

testing the nomination. If he’s successful, he would face NDP Leader Cam Broten in the next election. Broten is the current MLA for Westview. Buckingham said he has no plans to move to Saskatoon. “It’s not unusual for a person to represent a neighbouring riding,” said Buckingham. “I will continue to live in Borden, just 25 minutes away from Saskatoon. My goal is to represent the people of that riding to the best of my ability. I still have a lot of work to do to get the nomination, and that’s why I felt I needed to step down from the position of mayor now, to devote time to that effort.”

Fundraising campaign aims to build second ice surface in Martensville By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A campaign is underway in Martensville to raise funds for a multi-purpose facility that will house a second ice rink surface and provide space for other indoor sports year-round. The Martensville Community Recreation Project (MCRP) is aiming to raise an estimated $10 million for the facility, which would be located adjacent to the existing Martensville Sports Centre. It’s an ambitious goal, but the members of the MCRP organizing committee are confident they can make it happen. “Obviously, it is going to take some time,” said Jesse Reis, advertising and social media coordinator for the MCRP committee. “We’re in it for the long haul, and we realize it could take several years. But we’re looking at getting the ball rolling now so that we have something for the future.” In an interview on Thursday, February 12, Reis said the decision to form the MRCP committee was made after the Martensville Minor Hockey Association annual meeting last year. “At our annual meeting, we invited the Mayor of Martensville to come and talk about the need for a second ice surface in the community,” said Reis. “Kent Muench gave us some numbers of what it was going to cost, and he said if there is anyone who wants to start up a committee to help raise funds for the project, they should do that. So ten of us stepped up and we have been working on it since then to solicit funds.” Reis said grassroots community fundraising is needed because there are many other demands on civic finances that take priority, including maintaining and upgrading basic infrastructure like streets, water and sewer facilities. “We can’t just go to the taxpayers for this. The mayor told

us that even if we raised taxes by $300, we’d only be generating a couple of hundred thousand dollars,” said Reis. “Obviously, if you’re looking at $10 million, it’s not the answer.” The $10 million estimate includes upgrades to the existing civic centre ice surface and lobby as well as the addition of an adjacent facility capable of accommodating indoor soccer, lacross, gymnastics and other events as well as a second ice hockey rink. The facility would be built on land owned by the City of Martensville, and after it is constructed would be turned over to the city to operate and maintain. The committee’s preference is to have the second building located immediately east of the existing rink.

SECOND RINK NEEDED

Reis noted there is a real need for a second ice surface in Martensville, particularly for minor hockey. “We’re packed when it comes to registration numbers, especially in the younger age groups” said Reis. “We have four initiation teams, five novice teams, five atom teams, and five pee wee teams. “In the novice to pee wee age groups, each team will have about three 7:00 a.m. practices during the week per month, so that makes for some pretty long days for the little guys. They have to get up about 6:00 and then have hockey practice and then go to school.” A second ice surface, he said, would not only allow better scheduling for minor hock-

The MCRP is looking to build a second ice surface adjacent to the existing Martensville Sports Centre

ey but also open up the possibility of renting ice time to other communities in the region. That would provide additional income to city coffers and offset the cost of recreational facilities and programs. Reis said having a multi-purpose facility that can be used year-round is essential. “We have a great hockey rink now, but that’s all it’s able to be used for,” said Reis. “It has a dirt floor and boards. It’s empty in the summer. And with the growth of sports like ball hockey, lacrosse and indoor soccer, these are all sports that can be played in the summer if the facility is upgraded. So we don’t want to just replicate what is already there. We want to make it better.” Reis said once the MCRP committee achieves its goal of getting a second ice surface and upgrading the existing sports centre, its long-term plans include working for improvements and expansion to other recreation facilities. “We want to start with the rink and then look at other things that are needed,” said Reis. “The rink is the number one goal, but after that we will keep the committee going.”

PLAYOFF DRAFT EVENT

The MCRP committee has raised funds through a variety of events over the past several months, including a cooperative effort with the Dalmeny three-on-three hockey tournament and a casino night last fall. Donations have also come in from other groups and sponsors. The committee is currently organizing an NHL Playoff Draft night and Steak Night for April 12. Reis said everyone is welcome to put in a team of eight. “The cost is $500 per team. The event will be hosted at the North Ridge Centre,” he said. “Supper is provided by the Sports Page Bar and Grill, The draft will follow the supper and there will be a Calcutta auction at the end of the night.” Reis said the MCRP is looking for 24 teams, but can increase that number if necessary. “You can register your team online at www.martensvillecrp. weebly.com or e-mail me at jesse.reis@spiritsd.ca .”

Ease your mental stress by paying down your debt By JACOB MACDONALD

Public Relations Coordinator Consolidated Credit Counselling Services of Canada, Inc.

COMMENTARY

Consolidated Credit has put together some tips to help alleviate financial stress before it becomes a bigger issue: 1. Talk about it - Find someone you can trust – a close friend or a relative – and express your concerns. Financial stress is a very personal issue, but a fresh perspective may provide objective advice that could help you find a solution. 2. Deal with debt collectors – Debt collectors can be aggressive. If you are receiving calls, tell the collector about your situation. Provincial and federal regulations protect you from being harassed and treated unfairly by financial institutions and collection agencies. If you feel like you are being treated unfairly, contact your local government or visit www.consumer.ic.gc . 3. Get real – If your finances are stressing you out, you should make an effort to find out exactly why they are causing concern. Write out a detailed budget – know exactly how much money is coming in, how much is going out, and where it’s going. Download our budget worksheet or free Budget Tool app so that you can identify areas where you can cut back or get similar products and services at a lower cost. 4.

Budget, economy, taking first hits in Wall budget

Successful fundraiser the result of many people’s efforts The tremendous support that the Project Change club received from all the students, staff and family members of Martensville High School in our fundraising efforts for the Skomar family are very much appreciated because they helped make the campaign a sucess. Mrs. Mackenzie, along with Leadership 10/30 and SRC representatives were instrumental in promoting many of these fundraisers. Mrs. Muench and her Commercial Cooking 20 class did a lot of work in planning the sub sale. There were also many teachers who participated in the pie throw, leg wax, duct taping to the wall, and hockey shoot-out. Special acknolwedgement goes to Tyson Buhr, Owen Dyck and Mrs. Mackenzie, who cut their hair for cancer and Lorraine Buhr, who provided thehaircuts. Community support was a major factor in the success of this campaign, and many sports teams and businesses showed their community spirit, including Ron Gurski’s Martensville Marauder Atom 1 Villains as well as all the Marauder Hockey teams, Outer Limits Volleyball Club, the students and staff at Venture Heights Elementary School, Dwayne Funk and Super Valu, Derrick Kauk and Verns Pizza, The Dyck Family, The Zimmerman Family, and the Martensville Clothes Club Ladies. Our most recent total of funds raised is $5897.31. The Project Change club could not have done it without the support of the community. Breanne Cooper Teacher Martensville High School

ewan truly feels the brunt of the impact. But that won’t be soon enough to ward off the hammering we are about to take in the March provincial budget, which is far more susceptible to the whims of oil prices because of revenue we derive from oil. And lest there remains any doubt over this, consider the not-so-subtle message Wall has sent out by announcing a wage freeze for ministers (and now all MLAs), political staff and other appointees and Crown heads and senior government managers. The base pay for a Saskatchewan MLA will be frozen at last year’s rate of $94,668 while cabinet ministers will get by with $142,866 this year and Wall will have to settle for his $163,560 salary. It’s hardly a hardship and savings involved with all staff and bureaucrats come to $15 million; a paltry sum compared with the $600- to $800-million revenue shortfall Wall said his government must find through declining oil prices. Moreover, the government has so far offered no

cost-saving figure from its hiring freeze of all non-essential, non-frontline government workers. The government might be blowing a bit of smoke here. That said, it’s symbolic and it’s also political leadership. One surely can’t expect rural Saskatchewan people to accept freezes to highways, schools and hospitals if the politicians, themselves, aren’t willing to do the same. One suspects it was a warning shot mostly aimed at the public sector; especially teachers, nurses, cancer agency employees and the SaskPower workers whose contracts all expire in 2015. These happen to be the unions have often been the most difficult for governments in the last two decades. Combined with Wall’s musing of using the notwithstanding clause to take away striking rights in the wake of his government’s loss before the Supreme Court, the message to public employees seems particularly loud. But it’s likely a message to the rest of us as well; a message that the budget won’t be pretty.

NEWS & PHOTO SUBMISSION TIPS

The Clark’s Crossing Gazette welcomes the submission of news stories, photos, letters or any other information that would be of interest to the readers of this newspaper.

NEWS OR SPORTS STORIES

If you or someone you know has been involved in an event you think is newsworthy, please include your name and contact information (either a daytime telephone number and/or email address). Please send the information in a timely manner following the event and remember to include as much pertinent information as possible, including the following: 1. WHO was involved? 2. WHAT was the event? 3. WHEN and WHERE did the event occur? 4. WHY was the event important?

PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPS

All the information that goes with a news story should also accompany photo(s) as above. Include the names of all the people in each photo and identify from left to right and from back to front. 1. Set your camera to the highest resolution possible. The more resolution, the better the final outcome of the photo in print. 2. Don’t be shy! Get close to your subject(s). Most photos taken with a built-in zoom lens extended will produce “grainy” images that do not reproduce well. 3. Attempt to get dynamic photos of something happening instead of just a quick snapshot. 4. “Presentation” photos typically don’t work well if there are too many people side-by-side in the frame. If there are many people in the photo, have them as close together as possible and, if needed, have the front row seated and the back row standing. 5. Remember taking a picture facing into the sun or bright light will produce poor quality images.

Public meeting promotes dialogue on Langham outdoor motocross track By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The owner of an outdoor motocross track in the RM of Corman Park near Langham is hoping to “clear the air” and promote constructive dialogue by hosting a public meeting at the Langham Community Hall on Tuesday, March 3. “I would like to start with a clean slate and open up lines of communication and come up with a constructive solution,” said Steven Balzer, the owner of the property where the motocross track is located. “I didn’t anticipate the problems that have come up when I started this back in 2012, and I realize I should have done some things differently. But I think it’s a good project and I would really like to see it go forward in a way that’s acceptable to everyone.” Balzer, an avid motocross motorcycle rider, is applying for rezoning of his property to accommodate the RM of Corman Park bylaws. The rezoning application is expected to be in the hands of the RM administration before the end of March. Opposition to the track has been voiced by some residents in the immediate vicinity of the track, who cite noise as their main concern. Balzer said he originally approached the RM of Corman Park administration in the late fall of 2011 to find out the requirements for operating a motocross (MX) track on his property. At the time, he envisioned a modest-size groomed track for private use that would be used periodically on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 8 p.m. from April to August. He said he received approval to set up a private track on his own property because it was deemed to be an acceptable use. It was utilized by about a dozen riders in the summer of 2012. “After that year, the provincial motocross racing community, which I’m part of, discovered what a gem of a track it was, and there was more interest among people to use it,” said Balzer. “In the summer of 2013, the number of riders did increase to about 25 or so.” The track was also well-used in the summer of 2014. In 2014, complaints were received by the RM and Balzer was told he would have to apply for rezoning of the land.

Balzer said he didn’t anticipate the track would achieve such popularity, but adds the numbers are low compared to the Otopasso Trails south of Saskatoon off Highway 219 operated by the Saskatoon Track and Trail motocross club. He also concedes that some riders accessing his track crossed a fence and field belonging to his neighbour without his knowledge. “Initially there were access problems because the summer road to the track is not maintained by the RM,” said Balzer. “But obviously, the riders should not have gone across the neighbour’s land.” Balzer said in hindsight, he should have communicated more with his neighbours at the beginning, because many were not even aware he had placed restrictions on the hours of operation for the track. He said he intends to do better this time around. “I’m taking a two-step approach to meet with stakeholders,” said Balzer. “I acknowledge there are complaints and frustration, so I thought the most constructive thing I could do is hold a public meeting where everyone can voice their concerns and have their say and I can explain things from my end. I’ve invited everyone to come and participate. If someone isn’t able to come and they have concerns, I’ll connect with them and make an effort to talk to them about my application. I want to have a conversation about what I’m trying to accomplish, which is to have a track where new riders can develop their skills and which is also challenging enough for advanced riders.” The property where the track is located is also the site of the annual Curtis Leschyshyn Professional Bull Riding (PBR) and Motocross event. It has been held for the past three years, and Balzer has been the primary organizer of the event for the past two years. “We are hosting the PBR and motocross event again this year,” said Balzer. “It’s slated for Saturday, August 29. The objective is to raise funds for social and community events in Langham. We are applying to the RM for a special event permit for that specific event. It’s not related to the rezoning application. That’s a separate issue.”

Langham actors among local talent featured at Telemiracle 39 By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Prairie Players, a community theatre group from Langham, is slated to take the stage in Saskatoon at Telemiracle 39 March 7 and 8. The group is one of about 60 performers from across Saskatchewan that will join headliners Bob McGrath, Brad Johner, Donny Parenteau, Jason Blaine and Andrea Menard on stage at Credit Union Centre. “We are always surprised at the high level of talent, and the number of people who come out to audition for the show every year,” said Joan Steckhan, Executive Director of the Kinsmen Foundation, the organization behind the popular television broadcast.

“I know this year the producers had a very difficult time choosing the final lineup because there was such an abundance of talent. They took a long time to make their final decisions, and some really good performers weren’t able to be on the show simply because we didn’t have enough time.” One of the things that viewers will find a bit different this year is that the overnight time slots are given over to local bands, each of which will perform 45-minute sets. Among those bands that will get extended air time are “In With the Old”, a trio consisting of Ellen Froese-Kooijenga of Osler, Jaxon Lalonde of Saskatoon and Kasia Thorlakson of Kinistino; and “Rough and Wretched” from Rosthern. Steckhan said there is gener-

ally a younger audience tuned in during the overnight hours of Telemiracle, and giving these local bands a longer set is beneficial to both the bands and the audience. She said everyone is invited to come to TCU Place and hear the show live. Northern Saskatchewan’s “In With The Old” seamlessly combines raw talent and prairie camaraderie with a passion and respect for the music from the past. Young and dedicated, they take a unique approach to memorable old-time music through gifted harmonies and infectious songwriting, all told through a small town perspective. In the autumn of 2013, the three friends became a band. Since their formation, they have performed on Telemiracle; showcased at the Saskatch-

ewan Country Music Awards; and played at the Ness Creek Festival, John Arcand Fiddle Fest, Pickers’ Cup, the Northern Lights Bluegrass Festival, the Flute and Fiddle in Birch Hills, the Bon Temps Cafe, and the Bassment. In July, they released their debut CD, “Rollin’ On Down The Plains”. They are highly influenced by great traditional bluegrass and old-time artists like Bill Monroe and The Stanley Brothers, but also by many modern bands, ranging in style from rock to folk to indie pop. In With The Old has a strong passion for their music and thrive on the excitement of performing live. Rough and Wretched from Rosthern was formed in the spring of 2012, The band’s first full show was at the 2014

Dalmeny Firemen’s Ball Elder praised Christine Picard for her work on the event. “Chris’ mandate was, we want a class act first and if all we do is break-even but we had a good time, a class act, that’s a win. She’s done a bang up job so kudos to her.” Picard says she loves everything about being an emergency responder. It’s one of her passions, but it also provides a special sense of family within the team. “It’s kind of a comfort zone, I guess. It’s a place where you’re welcomed; it’s just fun to be there. She hopes her two young children will catch the vision that it’s a good thing to put your energy and time back into the community, especially by volunteering. Next year is the DFD’s 40th anniversary so they’re considering doing either a combined event or two separate events. “But we definitely want to give this another shot and just maybe get some recruitments out of it, have a good time with our mutual aid departments, with our community members, and raise some money hopefully,” said Picard. With the First Annual Dalmeny Firefighters Ball, the DFD demonstrated not only a strong commitment to its community but an equally strong commitment to community safety.

Please take highway.” Last month, WFR firefighters were called upon to rescue a motorist whose vehicle broke through the ice.

Family In Motion Day celebrated in region

People across the Saskatoon region celebrated the tradition of being physically active with family and friends during Family In Motion Day on the Family Day Holiday on Monday, February 16. The Family Day holiday was proclaimed “Family in motion Day” by City and Town Councils across the Saskatoon Health Region. “The support for Family In Motion Day has been tremendous around the health region” says Amanda Ror, In Motion consultant. “A wide variety of clubs, businesses, facilities and recreation groups in Saskatoon, Humboldt, Warman, Martensville and Hague have volunteered their time, resources and staff to host free indoor or outdoor physical activity events so families can spend quality time being ‘in motion’ together on the holiday.”

Fresh off a fundraising concert for the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Martensville on Friday night, Codie Prevost performed on Monday, February 16 at the Hague Arena as part of the community’s Famiy Day celebration. The popular Saskatchewan country singer is promoting his new album, “All Kinds of Crazy” and played to a packed house in two free concerts at the rink. Meanwhile, participants young and old tried their hand at “turkey curling” at the Hague Curling Rink. If you think getting a regular granite curling rock to curl the way you want it to is tough, try getting just the right touch on a frozen turkey with a handle duct-taped to it.

Curling Club honours oldest member on 90th birthday

high returns

By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

Rebecca Barkway of the Warman 16U volleyball club returns a serve in a game against LaLoche on Friday, February 13 at the Legends Centre in Warman. The Warman volleyball club hosted a massive tournament on Friday and Saturday featuring girls teams from around the province in the 14U, 15U, 16U and 17U age categories. The twoday tournament, organized by Kevin Davis and other executive members of the Warman Volleyball Club, featured some of the best young athletes in Saskatchewan. In the 14U age category, the Saskatoon Smash took the gold medal, defeating Wakaw in the final game. The Lloydminster Rustlers won top spot in the 15U division by virtue of a victory over JCVC in the championship final. In the 16U division, the Saskatoon Huskies defeated Prince Albert En Fuego, and in the 17U division, Wakaw got by Warman in the final game.

Not many curling clubs in Saskatchewan can boast of having a 90-year-old active member. But Stanley Greenwood of Hepburn brings plenty of youthful energy every week to the Martensville Curling Club (MCC). Greenwood is a regular at the MCC’s recreational curling league every week, throwing rocks with ease and sliding from one side of the ice to the other like a teenager. Okay, a careful teenager. On Wednesday, February 11, MCC President Lynn Remeshylo thought it would be nice to recognize their oldest member by having a surprise birthday for him in the facility’s curling lounge after the game. Greenwood’s birthday is actually February 17, but Remeshylo thought it would be nice to celebrate it early. Stanley’s wife Colette Greenwood, as well as his daughter and son-in-law, agreed. “When we found out he was going to be 90 years old, I thought that we have never had a 90-year-old curler in our club and I figured it was something that we should celebrate,” said Remeshylo. Greenwood’s family described him as an active person who simply enjoys the sport of curling because of the exercise. Years ago Greenwood curled

The Hague Royals are making believers out of a lot of people. After falling behind the Prairie Outlaws in the first game of their provincial Senior A hockey playoff series, the Royals bounced back in Game 2 to beat the visiting Outlaws in overtime, and capped that off by winning Game 3 in Waldheim by a score of 4-3 on Sunday, February 15. The Royals now move on to play the Dalmeny Fury in the next round of provincial Senior A playoffs.

The turning point in the series was the Royals’ overtime win in Game 2, when Travis Fehr’s power play goal lifted the host Hague Royals to a 5-4 overtime victory over the visiting Prairie Outlaws on Tuesday, February 10. The goalmouth deflection evened the best of three Senior A provincial playoff series at one game apiece and set up the rubber match between the two Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) rivals on Sunday, February 15 in Waldheim. The Royals’ overtime win in Game 2 marked a big turnaround from the opening match

in the series, when the Outlaws cruised to an easy 9-2 victory. The Outlaws’ speed and scoring punch up front, combined with solid defense on the blue line have been key ingredients in the team’s lightning-quick transition game that has given their opponents all they can handle. For the latter half of the season the Outlaws have had a firm grip on first place in the FCHL standings. But after their earlier spanking by the Outlaws, the Royals roared out of the gate in Tuesday’s game. Hague captain Daniel Rauckman opened the scoring by cap-

two years ago and got the call to join a team, he didn’t turn down the opportunity, said Colette. She said it was a nice gesture for the curling club to honour him. “I thought it was a pretty good for the rink to put on something like this. When I got a call from the club about it, I said: ‘Do you want to talk to Stan? They said ‘no, I want to talk to you’.” Remeshylo and members of his curling team, which includes Colleen Windjack, Doug McConnell, Bryan Gerhardt, Bonnie Cey, Candy Brown, Marlene Wood and Glenn Beatty, all wanted the birthday to be a surprise. When Greenwood entered the lounge after his curling match, he was all smiles. “I didn’t know anything about this, but it was a nice surprise,” said Greenwood. Greenwood said the game of curling is really hard to criticize. You either like it or you don’t. He said being the club’s oldest curler gives him the distinction of being in a league all his own. “I don’t think there are too many that are older than me that curl, but to enjoy the sport of curling really has to do with being surrounded by good people. It is no sense taking the game too seriously and being all shook up if you lose. It’s all about getting out there and having fun,” said Greenwood.

Warman High School wins SHSAA sportsmanship award By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

For the fifth time in its history, Warman High School (WHS) will be hanging a Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) sportsmanship banner from the gym’s rafters. The banner was awarded to the WHS Senior Girls Volleyball team, whose character and respect for fellow and opposing teammates at provincial and home tournaments did not go unnoticed by SHSAA representative. Kyle McIntyre, Lead Representatiive for the SHSAA, said the reason WHS has received this award a multitude of times stems from the great leadership at the school. “The staff they have here seems to be very dedicated to their students and also to Saskatchewan high school athletics,” said McIntyre. “The other reason is when WHS athletes travel to other communities to compete they are tremendous ambassadors of their school, what their school believes in.” McIntyre said there are three groups at provincial tournaments that monitor teams throughout the championship on and off the court. These groups include the provincial host site committee, the game officials and SHSAA representatives. “They look at how respectful a team is, how they interact with the host and among themselves and any signs of sportsmanship that occur. They then submit two to three nominees and the final selection is made,” said McIntyre. In recent years WHS has received this award for sports such as soccer and basketball, accomplishments which WHS Principal Michael Collins is very proud of. “It says a lot about our school when people who observe us

and who don’t know WHS recognize positive qualities about our school,” said Collins. “They speak about our character, which comes from the parents, teachers and coaches and onto the student athletes. I am exceedingly proud that this is our fifth provincial sportsmanship banner now in three activities.” Senior Girls Volleyball coach Peter Schmidt said the team he had this year was a pretty special group of girls. “When you are recognized for your sportsmanship and being that example citizen it is special,” said Schmidt. “Sometimes it’s nice to win but it’s also nice to be honoured for other things.” The senior girls won their regional tournament this year

but lost out in the qualifying round of their provincial tournament in Regina last November. Schmidt is no stranger to winning sportsmanship awards. In 2011 he received one when he coached the girls volleyball team when he was a teacher at Waldheim High School. Schmidt said learning how to deal with loss is a lesson students can use off the court as well. “We were expecting to do better at provincials and we didn’t do as well as we thought, but you learn to deal with those things,” said Schmidt. “Dealing with the ups and downs determines your character and gives you an idea of how you will do

in life.” MyIntyre and Collins also threw out a bouquet of thanks for local Warman dairy farmer Isaac Klassen and a director with SaskMilk for helping the SHSAA with funding for its programs and for providing chocolate milk for all athletes during SHSAA provincial tournaments. Klassen said after having two sons and a daughter go through WHS, the students are part of Warman’s bright future and that students should be proud of their accomplishment. The award presentation was a timely one for WHS because the school is getting ready to host the SHSAA Regional Wrestling Championships on March 7.

Wrestling program on the upswing in Warman By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Warman High School (WHS) has pinned down two major wrestling tournaments. The Saskatoon Wrestling Club’s annual Pupsel tournament is slated for Saturday, February 28, at WHS, and the following weekend, March 7 and 8, will see the school host the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) regional wrestling tournament. The SHSAA regional tournament will see approximately 30 teams from across the province competing. Both events are big, said Jesse Reis, who coaches wrestling at WHS with fellow teacher Matt Linner. “It’s pretty exciting for the school and the community,” said Reis in an interview on Thursday, February 13. “This is a perfect facility because of all the spectator viewing up top, and the other clubs are looking forward to competing here.” Hosting two major tournaments back-to-back also shows the growth of the sport at the school, said Reis. “When Matt and I started the program here four years ago we basically started from scratch,” said Reis. “We were able to get a second-hand mat for the school and we used that up until this year when we were able to get a new one. We started slowly and aimed at giving the kids the skills they needed to compete and gain confidence. Gradually we’ve seen some success at higher levels as the kids have progressed through the program.” Reis said the measuring stick for the success of the program has been how the athletes fare at the regional level. “The first year we had two kids qualify from the regionals to go to provincials,” said Reis. “Two years ago we had our first regional champion. Last year we had four athletes qualify, so we’ve seen a lot of improvement. This year we have 14 athletes in the regional tournament and we’re hoping that we can send eight finalists on to provincials. “I honestly think that this year we have the potential of having two or three regional champions on our team.”

JESSE REIS

WHS Wrestling Coach

On Saturday, March 7, Warman High School (WHS) is hosting the SHSAA regional wrestling tournament. High School wrestling teams from all over the province will be competing at this event. This tournament is a stepping stone as these wrestlers fight for their spot in the Provincial Championships in Regina the following week. Only the top four placers in each weight class will make it to compete against the best high school wrestlers from Saskatoon and Regina. Our Warman Wolverine wrestling team is sending its largest group to the Regional wrestling tournament yet with 14 wrestlers committed. This is our fourth year with a wrestling program in our city and we are looking to send as many athletes to Regina as possible. This is a big year for our grade 12 wrestlers, Micah Heide, Derek Buhler and Tyler Hume as they get the opportunity to qualify for provincials in front of their home town fans. On March 7, wrestling starts at 10:00 am at Warman High School and will go until only the champions are left standing. Come cheer on your Wolverine Wrestling Team.

Reis said he has high hopes for Micah Heide, a Grade 12 student, to emerge from regionals in the top ranks and hopefully place in the top four in provincials. Tyler Hume, another senior who has been on the wrestling team for four years, is also expected to place well. “Two of our big guys, Brandon McKimmon and Jesse Ens, are in their first year of wrestling but they’re both football players that have trained a lot and have

Warman High School wrestling coach Jesse Reis good core strength, and there’s not a lot of guys out there with their build, so hopefully they’ll have success too,” said Reis. Another first-year wrestler for WHS, Derek Buhler, is also a strong contender, having wres-

15023SMF00

tled at his former school in Swift Current. “I’m sure, if these guys put the effort in, that they can finish near the top at provincials,” he said. The SHSAA wrestling program includes student athletes in Grades 9 through 12, noted Reis. But kids in Grades 6, 7 and 8 are being introduced to the sport through the Saskatoon Wrestling Club’s Pups program. The Pupsel tournament at WHS on February 28 is the culmination of the two-month long wrestling season for the junior kids. “The SHSAA doesn’t offer wrestling at that level, so that’s why we go through the club,”

said Reis. The appeal of wrestling is varied, said Reis. “It’s a very demanding sport and it takes a lot to be successful. It’s also a very humbling sport in many ways because you’re definitely going to lose matches,” he said. “It’s full of life lessons. If you work hard you’ll have success. It’s a great metaphor for life.” While a wrestler takes on an opponent in a one-on-one situation during a match, the team aspect is always part of the sport because teammates are always in the athletes corner cheering him or her on, said Reis. He said it is also a sport that

is open to every student, regardless of height, weight, skill or size. And there are no cuts to the team. Province-wide the SHSAA has about 400 to 500 athletes involved in high school wrestling. Other schools in the region that have wrestling programs are Delisle and Duck Lake. Reis said it’s not an expensive sport, and the biggest hurdle to overcome at the school level is finding coaches willing to commit to the program. “Lots of people have never tried it,” said Reis. “But once they learn it, they find they really like it.”

Bruins shut down Dinsmore in post-season matchup By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca

The Delisle Bruins came back from a 3-1 first period deficit to defeat the Dinsmore Lucky Lake Tornados 9-4 in the first game of a best-of-three series in Sask Valley Hockey League action, February 12. The Bruins finished the 201415 regular season in fourth place with a 13W-6L record of 29 overall points. At the start of the Bruins’ season, the team lost five veterans, forcing head coach Jimmy Climenhaga to go with five rookie skaters. Climenhaga said despite the changes the Bruins didn’t make it easy for opposing teams. “The teams that were ahead of us in the standings were all close games,” said Climenhaga. “Overall I predicted where we would fit and I am pretty happy with it.” In the Dinsmore game Brad Erickson and Alekcei MacAvoy got their team off to an early lead on a couple of long break out pass opportunities that put the Bruins down early in the opening period. The Bruins broke the shut out when Blake Rolston’s wrister fooled Dinsmore’s goaltender Lee Coates and Taylor Barber brought the Bruins within one goal of tying the game with less than five minutes remain-

by the Bruins as Mryglod and Rolston added their second goals of the night, while Blake Ruemlen and Brendan Boyle each added a single goal to put the game out of reach for Dinsmore. Climenhaga said Dinsmore is a good team with a lot of veterans that can do damage if you are not on your game.

ing to make the game close. In the second period the Bruins tightened their forecheck and took advantage of their opportunities by adding three goals by Kevin Mryglod, Anthony Climenhaga and Chad Starling to take a 5-3 lead which was shortened by one when Dinsmore’s Ryan Becker added his team’s finally tally of the night.

A Dalmeny Fury forward blasts the puck toward the Shellbrook Elks’ net during a Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) playoff game in Dalmeny on Friday, February 13. The Dalmeny Fury senior hockey team’s quest for advancement in the FCHL league playoffs came to an end Sunday in Shellbrook, when they lost their third consecutive game to the Shellbrook Elks. Team manager Stew Block said the team had won a provincial Senior A playoff round the previous weekend, but the team was unable to rally against the Elks. Game one in Shellbrook on February 3 went 5 – 2 for the Elks. Shellbrook won game two 9 – 5 at the Dalmeny arena on February 13. Game three was back in Shellbrook and the Elks took it 3 – 0.

Prairie Oasis Gazebo Grand Opening

Hague, Dalmeny set to clash Prairie’s Steve Gillen knotted things up early in the middle frame with a shorthanded marker, and Hague’s Travis Goebel and Prairie’s Kyle Schmidt traded goals, leaving the score tied 3-3 after forty minutes. Brennan Bosch, the former U of S Husky, scored early in the third period to give the Outlaws their only lead of the game, but Derrick Popplewell connected on his second of the night to make it a 4-4 game at the end of regulation. It’s a bit unusual to have teams from the same league going up against each other in the early rounds of provincial playoffs at the same time the league playoffs are also underway. The winner of the Hague-Prairie series will take on another FCHL rival, the Dalmeny Fury, in the next round of provincials.

FCHL PLAYOFFS

In league playoffs, the Tisdale Ramblers are up three games to none on the Hague Royals. The Dalmeny Fury, meanwhile, got eliminated from the league playoff picture by the Shellbrook Elks. Dalmeny still has a shot at the provincial Senior A title, however, as they go up against the Royals this week. The Bruno T-Birds and Prairie Outlaws have yet to play a league playoff game against each other in their series.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19

Real estate values have been rebounding, Capricorn. If you are in the market to sell your home, now may be your chance to do so, but make sure you accept a good offer.

AQUARIUS January 20– February 18

Your responsibilities are at an all-time high, Aquarius. If you speak up, plenty of people will be willing to lend a hand. You just have to accept their offers to help.

PISCES February 19– March 20

Pisces, start visualizing positive outcomes and you can produce winning results. A negative attitude will only prevent success.

ARIES March 21– April 19

Aries, expect to scramble at the last minute when you have to get something finished. It may elevate your blood pressure, but you’ll feel good when the task is completed.

TAURUS April 20– May 20

You have to take a stand on a controversial matter, Taurus. This can’t be avoided, so it’s best if you just meet it head on. Others will appreciate your direct approach.

GEMINI May 21– June 21

Gemini, say goodbye to a bad situation, as a better one is on the horizon. It is about time you make things work in your favor and enjoy some R&R.

CANCER June 22–

July 22

Cancer, you have grown in many ways and people are trying to get used to your new persona. They see you as a new person, and that will require an adjustment period.

LEO July 23– August 22

Leo, paying off a large debt may empty out your bank account, but you have to look at the benefits of the situation. No more interest payments mean more savings.

VIRGO August 23– September 22

Virgo, expect to be caught off guard this week. Allow everything to run its course, and things will be back to normal before you know it.

LIBRA September 23– October 22

Libra, be resourceful and economical this week. Frivolous spending will only leave you with a hole in your pocket and not much to show for it.

SCORPIO October 23– November 21

This could be a time of profound changes in an important relationship, Scorpio. If you keep an open mind, there is no limit to the benefits that await.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21

Sagittarius, after a few bumpy spells, you may be on the road to a financial recovery. Monitor your spending and continue to maintain your financial discipline.

Number of speeding violations decreasing The number of people speeding through photo speed enforcement locations in the province has decreased month over month. “Photo speed enforcement has been proven to calm traffic and while it’s still early days, we’re seeing a positive effect in Saskatchewan’s photo speed enforced locations after only two months of the pilot,” Minister responsible for SGI Don McMorris said. “Final January results are in and it’s encouraging to see more drivers respecting speed limits. We are hopeful these results will continue as awareness increases.” When comparing the number of violations (per day) in December to January, results show a significant decrease. Warning letters are being issued to those speeding at these locations until ticketing begins on March 8, 2015. Photo speed enforced zones are clearly marked with signs.

West Connector Route study shelved By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The provincial government has pulled its share of funding for the West Connector Route Feasibility Study, effectively putting the project on ice. The feasibility study, aimed at determining a designated route for heavy truck traffic from Highway 11 south of Saskatoon to Highway 16 northwest of the city, was slated to be completed by May of this year. The contract for the $120,000 study, split equally three ways between the City of Saskatoon, RM of Corman Park and the provincial Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MOHI), was awarded to Stantec consultants in late 2014. The RM of Corman Park committed $40,153 toward the study at its meeting on December 15. The City of Saskatoon and MOHI also committed equal amounts of funding to the project. But last week, the RM of

Corman Park received written notice from the MOHI that the provincial government had “postponed” the MOHI’s share of the project funding indefinitely. Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore confirmed the MOHI sent an e-mail indicating the province was not going to fund the project. “They let us know that it will be postponed until further notice,” said Tittemore in an interview on Friday, February 13. “The reason they gave was that it was due to restrictions placed on their budget by the government.” Tittemore said the RM had hoped to benefit from the feasibility study, which would have explored options for a dedicated heavy-haul route. Funding from the province to help pay for maintenance and upgrading of RM roads along that route would have helped ease the cost burden on local ratepayers. The RM committed to funding

its share of the feasibility study at its December 15 meeting despite reservations by several councilors, who voiced concerns that ratepayers in most parts of the RM would see little benefit. The route study would have looked specifically at the increase in truck traffic along the Circle Drive South Bridge that tends to avoid the lights on Circle Drive by exiting onto Valley Road, Hodgson Road and other RM roads to make their way to Highway 7 and Highway 16. The RM was also hoping the study would have looked at options for upgrading Beam Road. But the postponement of the study will not make much difference in the day-to-day operations of the RM, or the discussions on the upcoming municipal budget, said Tittemore. “Things will keep going,” he said. “The RM will continue to maintain and upgrade its roads to accommodate traffic demands.”

Launch of regional website for Saskatoon North P4G provides public accessibility By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

The Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) has made significant progress on a regional plan, and the launch of its new website on Tuesday, February 17 will give the public direct access into the process. Alex Fallon, President and CEO of the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Association (SREDA), said the P4G process is “on schedule and on budget” and noted the 2014 annual report of the P4G group will be released in the near future.

“I think a tremendous amount of progress has been made so far on this regional plan,” said Fallon in an interview on Friday, February 13. “First of all, to have all these municipalities working together to plan for cohesive growth throughout the region is a huge achievement in itself. There are lots of instances where similar moves in other provinces simply have not worked out. We’re still in the early stages, but I would say we are doing well right now.” The P4G group includes elected and administrative officials from the Cities of Saskatoon,

Warman and Martensville, the Town of Osler and the RM of Corman Park. Meetings are held every two months. “The meetings are very focused and deal with very specific areas of concern,” said Fallon. “The agenda of each meeting is aimed at dealing with issues as we go along. For example, the most recent meeting, held in Warman last week, reviewed the 2014 annual plan, looked at funding for the P4G, and explored changes to planning and development. We’re also talking through the progress on the regional plan itself.” Fallon said the launch of the

P4G website (www.partnershipforgrowth.ca ) is aimed at increasing public participation in the process and making the plan more transparent and accountable. “It’s obviously an important tool that is accessible to everyone,” said Fallon. “It’s a mechanism to allow input from the public, from businesses and other stakeholders. It will also provide information to the public. “It’s a portal to start the communication process, and it will be augmented by stakeholders face-to-face, town-hall style meetings later on.”

The Saskatoon North P4G 2014 annual report was released on Tuesday, February 17. The report suggests the Saskatoon region could reach a population of about 500,000 over the next 20 years. It adds that if the current economic climate continues, the population of the region could reach 1 million within 60 years. To prepare for this growth, the municipalities in the P4G group are developing a longterm plan for land use and servicing that is regional in scope. The overall plan is expected to be completed by 2016. The first phase of the plan

15023SMC04

is set to be completed by April, 2015, and involves development of a vision and guiding principles for the regional plan, as well as completion of a background report. Phase 2, which begins this month and is expected to be complete by February, 2016, involves developing interim guidelines for long-term land uses. This will provide a basis for a comprehensive Regional Land Use map and supporting policies in the draft regional plan. The final phase, to be done by June, 2016, will involve stakeholder feedback on implementation of the regional plan.
