Corman Park residents concerned about drainage impact from proposed commercial development
Man killed after being hit by vehicle while jogging
By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca A delegation of about 20 residents of the RM of Corman Park filled the gallery in council chambers on Nov. 16 to express concern about a proposed business development in their area. Korpan Tractor has petitioned to relocate from their Idylwyld Drive North location to the BizHub Industrial Park. Their expanded location would include a 40,000 square foot building, employ approximately 40 people and anticipate traffic of about 80 to 90 vehicles a day, in the service of agricultural equipment sales and rentals. Nearby residents are concerned that the business may increase flooding on their acreages. “We have two concerns,” said Anne Summach. “One is the flooding this development will cause for acreage owners, and the second is the retention pond that is planned for around the Summach acreage.” The pond would be situated next to the driveway and then wrap around. “I’m confused as to why a retention
Warman firefighter honoured
pond would be built around houses.” Summach presented photos via PowerPoint of flooding on acreages in the proposed development area. She said nearby Auction Mart Road was not built with proper water flow. She asked for a meeting with the Associated Engineering, the developer for the project. Lois McNee from two acreages over also spoke to the issue. “We have had constant flooding in the 25 years we have lived there. Insurance is practically non-existent. Provincial disaster insurance was minimal and didn’t nearly cover it.” Bill Delaney, a planner with Associated Engineering assured Summach they would be more than happy to sit down with her. But he cautioned residents about the limits of what they can do. “The one thing to consider is there’s a lot of preexisting conditions that our client can’t pay for,” he said. “We’ve developed a strategy that will contain the water that will flow from the development of this particular
20 acre site centrally, and a control structure that will control the rate of flow so it meets the RM’s requirements.” Members of council discussed whether to defer approval for the discretionary use of the property or go ahead. They chose to approve the request, while acknowledging the need for more information from the Water Security Agency, and offering the assurance of opportunities to discuss the retention pond and flooding concerns in the future at the planning stage. While Summach was not entirely happy with the decision for discretionary use by Korpan Tractor, she is encouraged that council has promised to take the concerns of residents of the area into account and she is looking forward to discussions with Associated Engineering. “I don’t want a retention pond wrapped around my acreage,” she said. “And Council has pledged to address those concerns. I’m trusting that council will follow through on those promises.
Warm weather postpones winter weight restrictions Due to an unseasonably warm fall, winter weight allowances will not come into effect until December 1 or until the roadbeds are sufficiently frozen. Postponing the winter weight program will protect Saskatchewan highways from unnecessary damage. Road structures will be monitored throughout the province on an ongoing basis to determine when winter weights can be implemented. Colder temperatures freeze and strengthen road structures allowing the ministry to permit additional weight on the highway network. Without sufficient freezing, the extra weights can damage pavement and the road structures beneath. Commercial vehicle operators can find the latest road restriction orders and related information online at www.highways.gov. sk.ca/restrictions/ or by calling the Highway
A 59-year-old man died after being hit by a vehicle on a rural road near the hamlet of Cedar Villa, southwest of Saskatoon on Monday, November 16.
Bob Fenner of Warman was awarded the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal for 25 years of exemplary service. Saskatchewan Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield presented the award to Fenner and other recipients at a ceremony in Saskatoon on Thursday, November 12. Established in 2003, the medal recognizes those with 25 years or more of exemplary service protecting Saskatchewan people or their property. Recipients can include firefighters, police officers, corrections workers, Canadian Armed Forces members, RCMP, conservation officers, and emergency medical responders.
tended and the investigation is ongoing. The name of the deceased will not be released at this time. The road, which was closed while collision analysts conducted their investigation into the collision, is now reopened. Warman RCMP were assisted by members of the Corman Park Police Service, Saskatoon Fire and Rescue as well as MD ambulance service.
Warman RCMP say the accident happened at approximately 1:40 in the afternoon. The RCMP said the investigation revealed that the 59-year-old male victim was jogging on a grid road, southwest of Saskatoon, near Cedar Villa in the RM of Corman Park, when he was struck by a westbound vehicle. The pedestrian was pronounced deceased on scene. Members of the RCMP Collision Analyst team at-

Close to 10,000 people attended the largest indoor Remembrance Day ceremony in Canada at SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon on Wednesday, November 11
Poignant moment of silence marks tribute to those who gave their lives for freedom by HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The greatest power of Remembrance Day is the silence, moments when time waits, and the sobering reality of war makes a brief landing. These moments were sprinkled through the Remembrance Day service at SaskTel Centre on Wednesday, November 11. Close to 10,000 people gathered for the largest indoor Remembrance Day service in Canada. Beyond the silence, the clear tones of a solitary trumpet, bagpipes, hymns, prayers and reflections honoured all veterans in attendance. These are moments when gratitude surfaces, for sac-
rifices great and small, abroad and at home; gratitude that our soldiers were brave enough to face the messy, muddy battlefields and the crushing uncertainty -- the possibility of victory or loss and defeat. “It’s pretty humbling when you see these veterans walk in. I’m sure some of them are in their 90s at least, and they walk with such pride,” said Judy Harwood, reeve of the RM of Corman Park. Harwood finds it a privilege to lay a wreath on the cenotaph on behalf of the residents of Corman Park, something she’s done for the past three years. Harwood’s father served in the Second World War
and she still has his uniform. “It’s pretty amazing! It’s a very old piece of memorabilia, and it’s in amazing shape.” The family has been preserving it and is still considering what to do with it. She said it deserves a place other than the back of the closet. “Remembrance Day means different things to different people for obvious reasons. We were all in our silent time at the service. I’m sure if you could see everyone’s faces, they were all in their own world remembering different things,” she said. Remembering is about honour and it’s potentially about prevention. In some parts of the world, the ho-
locaust has been removed from school curriculums. And there have been attempts here and there to erase the atrocity from history books. Remembrance Day is not just a ritual and it’s not just a holiday. It’s a preservation of history. “It’s critical we do remember and it’s critical that the young folks understand why we’re remembering and what actually took place so they, in their generation, can hopefully stay out of wars,” said Harwood. “Let’s make sure we don’t do it again.” “We’re supposed to learn from the past, but I watch the news every day, and I wonder if we are learning anything because we seem
Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood places a wreath at the Remembrance Day ceremony in Saskatoon to be going down a path of more strife, not less. But we should learn,” said Harwood. At least once a year we
need to symbolically pull that soldier’s uniform out of the closet, find the silence, and imagine what it was like to wear it.

Warman Remembrance Day Service pays solemn respect to veterans By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Over 600 people gathered at the Brian King Centre in Warman on Wednesday, November 11 to pay their solemn respects to those who laid down their lives in the cause of freedom. Remembrance Day services in Warman are a tradition that began several decades ago, and in recent years the crowds have grown in size. This year, the Brian King Centre was filled to capacity. Sgt. Kevin Schwartz noted this year marks the 101st anniversary of the beginning of World War I (19141918), in which 619,636 Canadians served. Of that number, 66,573 were killed and 138,166 were wounded. It is also the 70th anniversary since the end of World War II (1939-1945); where more than one million Ca-
nadians served including 44,927 who died and 53,143 who were wounded. It is the 62nd year since the Korean conflict (195053), where more than 26,000 Canadians served, including 516 who died and 1,558 who were wounded. It is the 24th year since the Gulf War, (1990-91), where more than 3,000 Canadians served. This is the 11th year since the Balkan wars (1992-2004) where more than 40,000 Canadians served, and 23 soldiers died and an unknown number were wounded. This is also the 100th anniversary of the writing of one of the most famous poems of the 20th century, “In Flanders Fields” by Dr. John McCrae. The poem was penned by McCrae following the death of a fellow soldier in the second battle of Ypres in May, 1915. Reverend Randy Heide of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Warman told the crowd at the Remembrance Day service that the poem’s message is both poignant and timeless. “May we not turn our backs on the hope for which they fought,” said Heide. “May we not turn a blind eye to the evils of every and any war, and know that evil is to be fought only so that freedom can be retained for us and for future generations.” Wreaths were placed at the cenotaph by elected representa-

Accessible health care for seniors should be priority, says SMA President
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A “seniors care strategy” should be a top priority for the province’s health care system, said Dr. Mark Brown, President of the Saskatchewan Medical Association (SMA). Speaking at the SMA’s fall representative assembly in Saskatoon on Friday, November 13, Brown, a Moose Jaw physician, said Saskatchewan lags behind other provinces when it comes to ensuring seniors have access to primary health care. “Today, 15 per cent of people living in Saskatchewan are 65 years of age or older, said Brown. “In just 20
years, by 2036, that percentage will increase to 25 per cent. “One out of every four Saskatchewan residents will be a senior citizen in 2036. Life expectancy is increasing. Men who are 65 today will live on average to age 84; women will live to 87.” Brown said in the 1960s, when the current public health care system was established, the average age of Canadians was 27. “Now the average age is 40,” said Brown. “The ‘Grey Tsunami’ is real, and it’s coming. “The challenge we’re facing is that the health care system that was established
more than 50 years ago is much the same now as it was then.” The SMA estimates the cost of health care for senior citizens accounts for almost half the current health care budget in Saskatchewan. “Not surprisingly, that will move up to more than 60 per cent by 2036,” Brown stated. Other provinces are also facing similar challenges, he noted. However, Saskatchewan lags behind in providing access to good primary health care for seniors. “Despite more physicians than ever practising in Saskatchewan, we are still at
the bottom of the list when it comes to physician-population ratios in Canada. “For every 530 people in Saskatchewan, there is only one doctor; when it comes to family physicians, there is one for every 940 people. “In Alberta that ratio is about 400 people per doctor and about 800 people per family physician. “We need more physicians in Saskatchewan to meet the needs of our aging population.” Brown said physicians need to be compensated when they use innovative methods to improve health care delivery to patients. He said a senior home visit pi-
lot program is aimed at improving access to health care, and he is hopeful it will be implemented province-wide as part of a seniors care strategy.
He said seniors in rural areas often lack access to basic primary care. “Access to care should not depend on your postal code,” he said.

The world after Paris By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca
COMMENTARY
On the heels of Remembrance Day, a night of terror in Paris has shaken the world to the core. This comes only 10 months after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in a city that is still trying to heal. ISIS’ has claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks and promises more of the same. Is it terror or is it war? Throughout history, wars have been fought on the battlefield by soldiers who were trained, suited up and aware they were going into battle, soldier against soldier. ISIS has shifted the global landscape with its barbarism. This is a group known for unprecedented savagery that is proud to publish high profile executions on YouTube. In today’s world terrorism is war. Terrorist attacks have moved strife from the battlefield into civilian territory. Civilians have no defense against surprise attacks from an invisible enemy. What fuels ISIS and groups like them is an ancient code still rooted in the barbarism of centuries ago. Theirs is a black and white world with no room for negotiation. In their statement of claim, they called Paris a “capital of prostitution and obscenity” as if there is not one worthy soul to be found. This stance of exclusion, creates an “us versus them” mentality that paints murder as an act of piety. Escalation of armed conflict is not the answer. The real answer lies in closing the gaps within society and encouraging tolerance. ISIS is a threat to democracy and freedom. Democracy can only flourish in a free society; one that recognizes and cultivates free speech, the free exchange of ideas and opinions, a free press and freedom of religion. We should not take these for granted. The RM of Corman Park Council meeting on November 16 began with a minute of silence to remember the losses in Paris. The process itself represents democracy at its most local level. There is respect of difference, willingness to hear other ideas and take them into account. Twenty-some people crowded into the gallery knowing that their views would be heard and no one would hold a gun to their head. President Obama called the attacks in Paris “an attack on the civilized world.” Political correctness aside, we need to be free to name the difference between warmongers and peacekeepers, those who want to make the world a safer place and those who want to create fear and destruction, those who exclude and those who embrace, those who desire to create an enemy and those who wish to be friends.

Not all politics is local For years, we’ve lived by the adage that all politics is local. Much of the time, this is the case… for both good and bad. For example, rural Saskatchewan; or at least, historical rural Saskatchewan that was once dominated provincial politics; used to consistently benefit from the notion that it is the job of politicians to appease local interests. When the majority of provincial seats were rural, voters saw many benefits including rural electrification, favourable agricultural policies and the building and maintaining of local rural hospitals. Policies like the latter may not have necessarily been the best for the province as a whole; especially in the latter years when consolidating expensive advanced surgical and diagnostic medical services in larger hospitals was needed. But more often than not, it has been rural residents who have had to endure the other end of the spectrum; the downside of all politics being local. That was evident in the decision more than two de-
MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics
cades ago by the then-NDP government to close 52 rural hospitals and the Plains Health Centre just on the outskirts of Regina. It was that latter decision to close the newest and best-run hospital in the Regina area that best illustrated how decisions solely based on local considerations aren’t always in the best collective interests. Dr. Lewis Draper; a former NDP MLA for Assiniboia-Gravelbourg who had a falling out with the Roy Romanow government over the closures of those 52 rural hospitals; is one who firmly believes the decision to close the Plains was largely based on the resistance from local NDP Regina MLAs and the NDP-dominated Regina city council that privately protested the closure of any hospital within their city limits. But if it can be said that decisions made on the basis of local politics are often ill-ad-

vised, the same can be said of decisions based on far away considerations. Consider U.S. President Barack Obama’s recent decision to reject TransCanada’s application for the 1,900-kilometre Keystone XL pipeline because it “will not serve the national interests of the American people” to carry dirtier Canadian oil. Despite saying Keystone XL was not “the express train to climate disaster,” Obama has clearly made his decision to appease U.S. environmentalists who believe just that. In fact, Obama’s own White House environment reports suggested Keystone XL wouldn’t have added to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. And Premier Brad Wall was quick to point out that the U.S used 493,000 rail cars to move oil in 2014 compared with only 9,500 cars in 2008. This would also add to GHG emissions. For Saskatchewan, it will mean less revenue from oil. We will continue to be without an option when it comes to getting oil to tidewater and sell it at the higher Brent price. There will also be pipeline
job losses in the Shaunavon area. Of course, local jobs should never be the driving force behind such decisions. But that doesn’t stop government from trying to make such local politics as the driving force ... even when it really isn’t. Consider the Saskatchewan Party government’s $1.5-billion taxpayer-investment in carbon capture technology at Boundary Dam near Estevan. Under a lot of heat for saying that the carbon capture technology is working when the evidence now suggests it isn’t, Wall’s government switched tactics and is now attempting to make this issue about local coal-power electrical jobs in the Estevan areas. If this is the case, spending $1.5 billion on technology that doesn’t work doesn’t seem a wise investment for a few hundred jobs. But the reality is Wall is really making this decision on faraway environmental considerations. And as is the case with Keystone XL, decisions made on the basis of far away politics are often no better than the ones made on the basis of local politics.
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.

WELCOME TO THE NEW, IMPROVED CLASSROOM Martensville students excited about move to new high school addition By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Martensville High School Principal Brad Nichol has noticed a change in students’ behaviour when lunch time rolls around. “In the old school, they were out of the building like a shot as soon as the bell rang,” said Nichol. “They couldn’t wait to leave. “Now, nobody leaves. They eat their lunch here and stick around. It’s a whole different atmosphere. They really like it.” Students and staff moved into their new digs last week after the extended Remembrance Day weekend break. The newly-opened addition to the Martensville High School will be their home for the coming year as the old building is completely renovated. Next fall, both portions of the school will be combined, effectively doubling the size of the building. The only portion of the old building which is still being used is the Industrial Arts and Home Economics classrooms. The new portion of the school is connected to the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP), which the students have been using for the past year while the old gym was closed. “It’s pretty awesome,” said Nichol in an interview on Friday, November 13. “It’s a big building, but it doesn’t echo like you’d expect. It actually absorbs the sounds and has a very comfortable feel to it. We’re all pretty surprised that it’s not noisy, even during class changes when you get a lot of kids in the corridors.” The new portion of the school has a capacity of about 425 students, which is
the current enrolment of the school. “Classroom-wise, it’s very similar to the old building,” said Nichol. “And it was planned that way because we knew we would be limited to this area while renovations were going on in the old part.” But there’s a big difference in the layout of the classrooms and the learning facilities themselves. “The kids are pumped about being here,” said Nichol. “In the old building we didn’t have a lot of spaces for students to go when they had a spare or if they needed to study or write. “Now they have lots of places; we have large common areas where they can hang out and talk, and we have quiet areas with big windows and lots of light where they can read and work.” The classrooms are arranged in two separate pods, each with two storeys. The specially-designed music room, which will eventually be used by the school’s choir and guitar programs, will serve this year as a temporary library. But the “crowning glory” of the school is its new state-of-the-art theatre, complete with high-tech sound and light boards, raised open stage, catwalk, actors’ change rooms and tiered seating levels capable of accommodating 300 people. “It’s an amazing facility,” said Martensville High School Drama teacher Michael Robinson. “We only got into it yesterday, and I’m still learning how to operate the controls with help from the technicians. There’s so much here I think it will probably take years to get a handle on everything.”

Martensville High School Principal Brad Nichol and Vice-Principal Peggy Matilla-Bains say the new addition to the school will enhance learning opportunities for students (Lower photo) The new addition to the high school is connected to the Martensville Athletic Pavilion Robinson is introducing a new course this year on practical and applied theatre that includes everything from set and costume design to acting and directing.
“The timing couldn’t be better,” said Robinson. “To have a space like this is incredible. You can’t stand on the stage and not feel energized just from your surroundings.”
The school, in conjunction with the city-owned MAP facility, is hosting the provincial 5A senior girls volleyball tournament this weekend. “It’s a great showcase for
our city, our MAP and our school,” said Nichol. “We kind of got in here just under the wire, but we made it, and we’re really looking forward to the event.”

Dr. Katina Stewart receives Veterinarian of the Year award Martensville doctor loves animals By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca When Dr. Katina Stewart was nominated for Veterinarian of the Year by her coworkers at the Martensville Veterinary Hospital (MVH), the gesture alone was very gratifying. The award, presented by the Saskatchewan Association of Veterinary Technologists (SAVT), recognizes a veterinarian who is a great supporter of veterinary technologists in their workplace. “Each staff nominated me for the award. It means the world to me that they thought at all to nominate me,” said Stewart. Actually winning the award was far from her mind. “I was so focused on feeling quite honoured for being nominated and going to a fabulous dinner that I didn’t actually think about winning the award, or that I would win the award.” But she did! The award was presented at the Annual Veterinary Technologists Conference at the Saskatoon Inn on November 7. The technologists who nominated her knew she was the winner, but kept it a secret. Two of them, Crystal Shain and Chantel Steele, hid behind the scenes for over an hour and a half until the moment came. “I had no idea that it was
Ebenezer
happening,” said Stewart. “When they were reading all these nice things, it just became a blur. I was just touched. I was trying really hard not to cry because it felt so nice. And then these guys came rushing out after hiding and did some cheering.” The fact that each of the four veterinary technologists at MVH sent in separate nominations may have pushed Stewart to the top of the list. “Every nomination written was different,” said Kate Dean, registered veterinary technologist with MVH. “Dr. Stewart strives to make ‘veterinary technologist’ a livable profession which is a big struggle we have.” This involves making sure wages are fair and ensuring they receive the continuing education they need. “Not just what’s offered here in Saskatoon, but in Calgary or Florida, wherever we need to go to get the education to be the clinic we are.” “I think that’s the most special award,” said Stewart, “to be recognized for your effort by your coworkers.” Stewart has been practicing veterinary medicine since 2004, and has been part of MVH since 2006. In 2014 she purchased the clinic. The practice is accredit-

ed with the American Animal Hospital Association AHA, is feline friendly certified – North American standards they adhere to voluntarily. Stewart is working in a field she loves. “It’s a great profession and there’s so many rewarding things. But there’s also a lot of difficult things emotionally. Having an award like this in the back of your mind when you’re having a tough day is also very helpful,” she said.

PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONS!

Warman Wolverines team captain and offensive lineman Jesse Ens holds the championship plaque as his teammates cheer
Warman Wolverines ride roughshod over Melfort Comets to claim title By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca For the third time in the last four years, the Warman Wolverines made it to the provincial 3A nine-man high school football championship. And this time, they struck gold. The Warman Wolverines captured the provincial crown in impressive style on Saturday, November 14, downing the host Melfort Comets 65-23. Exactly one year earlier, the Comets had rolled into Warman and handed the host Wolverines a 46-20 spanking to claim the 2014 provincial crown. That loss was especially bitter because the Comets also prevailed 53-26 over the Wolverines in the 2012 final.
So there was more than a little extra motivation for the Warman squad this time around; especially the Grade 12 veterans who were looking to finish their high school football careers with a bang. They got it. The Wolverines completely dominated the game both offensively and defensively; scoring almost at will while shutting down their opponents. “It feels great to get some payback for last year,” said Warman linebacker Brandon McKimmon. “We have a good group of seniors and I knew we had a good chance of winning it this year.” Warman receiver Jaden Towson, another Grade 12 veteran, said the victory was extra sweet because it
was against Melfort on the Comets’ home field. “It feels amazing,” said Towson, who recorded five touchdowns in the game. “Last year the loss hit me pretty hard, and I put in a whole off-season training. I think I improved a lot because I went from no catches and no yards last year to really helping the team out this year. “The coaches were right. I think with hard work and dedication you can make yourself any type of football player you want to be. If you work at it then you can make a gold medal happen.” Warman head coach Tyler Scheidt said he’s proud of the athletes, noting each one made a contribution to the team. “If you have good athletes
it makes you look like a good coach, and we certainly had the good athletes this year,” said Scheidt. “Not to minimize how good our coaching staff was this year and the work they put and the preparation. Our defensive coordinators watched so much film they knew exactly what was coming before it happens on the field. And they did a great job of putting the kids in great spots; but at the end of the day, the kids are the ones who got it done.” Scheidt said the team was a “beautiful combination of kids with character and kids with God-given ability and kids that really, really worked for it and when you put that combination together, it works.” Warman’s Jayson Lindo
got the Wolverines on the board three minutes into the first quarter on an impressive 85 yard touchdown run; and Towson added another major a minute later. Melfort responded with a touchdown by Tyler Jones in the last minute of the first quarter to make it 147, but Towson and Damien Delnea each scored two touchdowns in the second quarter to put the game out of reach. Half-time saw the Wolverines with a commanding 44-7 lead. In the third quarter Towson and Jacey Denis scored to increase the cushion to 56-7. The Warman coaching staff put in their younger players in the final quarter, and Melfort responded with touchdowns by Graham Fagnou and Sergei Burns.
Warman’s scoring was rounded out by kicker Connor Armitage who made all but one convert, as well as a couple of two-point safeties conceded by the Comets in their own end zone. Warman quarterback Dominic Froese, aided by protection from Jesse Ens, Mike Szydlowski and the rest of the offensvie line, used ground and air attacks by connecting with Lindo, Delnea and Towson to keep the opposition defense off balance. On the other side of the ball, Warman’s McKimmon, Braeden Wiebe, Chris Guyda and Lachlan Horsley had outstanding games. Warman defensive back Joel Seiferling played his best game of the season, with many key knockdowns and tackles at critical times.

Cellulite
CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2015
Fitn ess ti
PART 2
Cellulite in Males Men and women have different connective tissue whereby the organizational structure of fat in the first layer is different. In females, adipose tissue (fat) is contained in chambers that favor expansion of adipose tissue into the dermis. The men, this connective tissue is crisscrossed forming smaller polygonal units that allow for subcutaneous fat deposits to expand laterally and internally but with little protrusion (if any) into the dermis. Men also have thicker layers of epidermis and dermis tissue in thighs, buttocks than females.
Gender Differences in Subcutaneous Fat Cell Organization Some research shows that with the examination of female and male fetuses there is no recognizable difference in subcutaneous fat tissue for up to 7 - 8 months of fetal development. During the end of the third trimester of fetal development the gender structure differences become apparent and manifest themselves at birth. Variations in hormones between genders are largely explained within this skin deviations or differences. Men who are born deficient in male hormones will often have a subcutaneous fat cell appearance similar to females. Connective Tissue in Dermis The connective tissue in the dermis provides the framework, insulation and stability for the dermis layer below the epidermis. This tissue offers necessary insulation and stability between the various organelles permitting proficient function without harming other structures. Connective tissue is composed of collagen (elastic tissue with great tensile strength). It is mainly water which has a major role to provide a route for diffusion transport within the tissues (elastic tissue) as this gives skin its ability to extend and return to normal resting length. Treatment for Cellulite The only treatment for cellulite that works is an improved diet with an exercise program that includes cardio and resistance training. As research has shown fat cells retract from the dermis with weight loss, reducing cellulite.

Langham and Asquith are both competing for the provincial Senior Girls 2A volleyball championship this weekend at a tournament in Porcupine Plain. Langham made it to the quarter-finals last year, and Asquith is looking forward to their first appearance at provincials since 2012. Waldheim and Rosthern Junior College are competing for the 3A senior girls championship in Rosthern this weekend. Clavet senior girls are competing in 4A provincials in Rosetown.
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Martensville Royals senior girls volleyball team knows the competition will be tough at the provincial 5A SHSAA championship tournament this weekend. But as the host team, they’re ready to make the most of their opportunity. The Royals narrowly missed a chance to earn a berth at the provincial championship, losing in two straight sets to Prince Albert Carlton in the regional semi-final playoff game on Saturday, November 14 at Warman High School (WHS). The Royals lost 25-8 and 25-19 to Carlton. Meanwhile Prince Albert St. Mary’s beat North Battleford Comprehensive High School in two straight sets 25-16 and 25-20 to win the
other semi-final match. In the regional final, PA Carlton beat PA St. Mary’s 25-22 and 25-16. Martensville will be one of the teams representing this region at provincials by virtue of being the host team. St. Mary’s and Carlton are the other two representatives from this region. The provincial 5A tournament kicks off Friday, November 20 at 1:00 p.m. at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP), which is attached to the newly-opened Martensville High School addition. Warman High School had a strong team this year at regionals, but was just unable to get past some very tough competition, said Warman coach Peter Schmidt. “We played Melfort last
night and we did really good, winning both games quite handily,” said Schmidt in an interview on November 14. “Today we played three games and the girls did really well but we just couldn’t finish. We beat St. Mary’s one set and took them to all three sets, but we lost 25-23 and just ended up with the short end of the stick.” Warman lost to North Battleford in the quarter-final. Schmidt said this year’s senior girls volleyball team was just as strong as last year’s team, which made it to the provincial tournament. But the difference was that the opposition was also stronger this year. “We have very good athletes,” said Schmidt. “It just wasn’t the result that we were looking for.”

Delisle Rebels win 2A provincial silver medal By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Delisle Rebels gave the host Shaunavon Shadows a good run for their money in the provincial SHSAA 2A nine-man football championship final on Saturday, November 14. But in the end, the Shadows captured the trophy on their home turf, downing the Rebels 42-28. Still, a silver medal is the silver lining for a season that could have turned out much differently, according to Rebels head coach Ken Byers. “This crop of kids is one of the most dedicated we’ve ever had,” said Byers in an interview on Monday, November 16. “They learned a lot of valuable life lessons this year, especially that success requires a lot of hard work.
“But what’s really special about this group is that last year we only had one Grade 12 starter on our roster and there were a lot of questions about whether our program might falter. “The kids faced a lot of pressure to reinvigorate the program and put the enthusiasm back into it; and they did that in spades. “We didn’t win a provincial championship but we came really close and we made our community very proud.” Byers noted that Delisle won the provincial 3A championship in 2011 with a very dominant team; the result of a consistent program built up over many years. “This is our sixth provincial final in the last 14 years,” said Byers. “It helps that we’re playing against much bigger schools in a
very competitive conference. Five of the biggest 3A schools in the province are in our conference, and they make us a better team because we have to go toe-totoe with them on the field.” The Rebels opened up the scoring in the opening quarter with two quick touchdowns, and the score was tied 21-21 at the half. The end of the third quarter saw the teams deadlocked at 28-28. But the start of the fourth quarter saw the wheels start to come off the bus for the Rebels. “Shaunavon returned a kickoff for a touchdown and that really took the wind out of our sails,” said Byers. “That kickoff return was huge for them. We did have a chance to even it up when we sacked their quarterback on their 25 yard line; and
then sacked him again on the next play on their 5 yard line. But we were flagged for a head tackle on the sack and that re-ignited their drive. They pounded down the field to score their third touchdown. “It was just a bad luck play that changed the moment from 3rd and 25 on their 5 yard line and a chance to tie the game to putting us into a big hole.” Byers said despite being on the wrong side of the call, he had no complaints about the officiating. In fact, he described it as “stellar.” “That was the best group of officials I’ve seen in years,” said Byers. “They were clear and fair and communicated well with everyone.” The Rebels hold their postseason awards banquet on Wednesday, November 18.
Dalmeny Fury looks to kick it up a notch By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The Dalmeny Fury’s second home game of the season against the Bruno TBirds on Friday, Nov. 13 ended with a Bruno victory of 7 to 3. “We had a slow start to our game Friday,” said Kyle Rathgeber, spokesperson and team member for the Fury. “We came out flat and not ready to play hockey as it showed on the score clock being down 3-0 before the half point of the first period.” The team started to pick things up in the second period with some great chances to score but found it difficult to capitalize on those chances. “In all it was just too much of a hole to try and climb out of as Bruno scored four more through the second and third periods with us only able to net three,” said Rathgeber. The previous week Dalmeny lost to Hague 5 1. But Rathgeber said they won their first game of the season last Saturday against Tisdale 5 – 1, bringing their season record to 1 – 2.

Report from the
A new incentive program has been announced to encourage the sale of eligible agricultural crown land to lessees. All agricultural Crown land, including cultivated, grazing and hay land that is deemed to have no public and low environmental benefit, will be eligible. Our priority is administering land that has a higher public good from an ecological, environmental, heritage or economic perspective. From now until March 31, 2016, a 15% discount will be applied to all sales. The incentive drops to 10% on April 1, 2016 and 5% on January 1, 2017. Approximately 600,000 acres of land may be sold under this program. If a lessee does not purchase the land, they may continue leasing. However, rental rates on eligible cultivated lands and previously cultivated lands will increase for the 2016 cropping season by approximately 15 per cent over the formula rate and by 30 per cent over the formula rate for the 2017 cropping year.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY
CAPRICORN December 22– January 19
Capricorn, there’s not much more you can pile onto your plate without it tipping over. This week lighten your load by asking family to help. They are more than willing.
AQUARIUS January 20– February 18
Make an effort to restore order to your finances, Aquarius. It may be time to curtail your spending, but a close examination of your finances won’t cause much panic.
PISCES February 19– March 20
Pisces, some mysterious news has piqued your curiosity, and now you may not be sure which direction to go for a few days.
ARIES March 21– April 19
Aries, things go well this week, but expect a few bumps along the way as well. Learn how to clear these hurdles and you will stay on track.
TAURUS April 20– May 20
Keep your eye on the prize, resisting the temptation to get swept up in distractions. The longer you can maintain your focus this week, the more likely you are to succeed.
GEMINI May 21– June 21
Luck puts you in the path of someone you have been anxious to meet, Gemini. Use this opportunity this week to ask all the questions you have been wanting to ask.
sudoku
CANCER June 22– July 22
Persistence is your best ally this week, Cancer. When others give up early, you have the tenacity to continue. Don’t be surprised if others notice your hard work.
LEO July 23– August 22
Other people appreciate your ability to put a positive spin on things, Leo. Use that talent to help two friends overcome their differences in the next week.
VIRGO August 23– September 22
Keep an open mind when someone comes to you with a suggestion, Virgo. Even though you are quick to dismiss it outright, give it a second thought.
LIBRA September 23– October 22
Some challenges are coming your way, but it’s not anything you can’t handle. However, you may need to bring in some reinforcements. Enlist some friends to help out.
SCORPIO October 23– November 21
After many weeks of putting in your best effort at work and at home, it very well may be time to take a break. Here’s a chance to book a vacation.
SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21
Sagittarius, even though you are quite persuasive, you cannot always make miracles happen. If someone isn’t moved by your call to action, don’t take it personally.

Kidsport donation
Warman Minor Softball Association donated a cheque for $1,000 to Warman KidSport on Friday, November 6. Warman KidSport Coordinator Coralie Bueckert (second from right) receives the cheque from Jason Schmiedge, President of the Warman Minor Softball Asso15113SS1 ciation, along with Fern Larner and Oran McLean of the Warman Softball Association. “We know that families have needed the support of KidSport so their children could play Softball. Our association applies for grant money each year to run our Softball program,” said Schmiedge. “We decided that it was important to donate to KidSport so that every child interested in playing sports isn’t restricted because of cost. We hope that other associations will step up to the plate and pitch in as well.” November has been designated locally as KidSport Month. Donations to the charitable organization can be made at the A&W in Martensville or at the Legends Centre in Warman. The Warman Minor Softball association’s website is www. warmanminorball.com

Mask Messenger mesmerizes Corman Park School students
By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Morphing from one character to another, Chris Sigurdson of Mask Messenger demonstrated how powerful masks can be at the South Corman Park school (SCP) last week. Children from grades 1 to 6 gathered on the gym floor and were treated to an exceptional mask theatre show. The Faustwork production is both entertaining and educational. “The program is offered through the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC),” said Char Elder, principal of SCP. “They have different performances from all over the place and they make it available to the schools.” While there is a cost involved, Elder said the school council really supports funding for this. “It’s to celebrate the arts. We’ve had everything from musical shows to drama, and a bit of both. All the kids benefit from that performance.” And all the kids were mesmerized by that performance. An opening series of swift mask exchanges, with some matching gestures and body language had the kids laughing immediately. The show then settled into a stunning sequence of dramatic vignettes and engaging teaching. “Masks are magic! Masks have the power to transform us,” Sigurdson told the kids. The evidence was right there, as he transformed himself into a ballet dancer, a hunter, Elvis, a monkey, a Frenchman (with a perfect accent), and more. “Masks represent the fac-

Student volunteered to put on masks and play roles at the Mask Messenger show at South Corman Park school last week. These two students act out movements to match their mask’s expression. es of the ancestors. Masks are used in sacred rituals to make the crops grow, to ward off evil spirits, or to bestow a blessing,” he said. “There are some first nations tribes in North America that use masks for rite of passage ceremonies, like when a young girl’s ears are pierced.” They are used at Hallowe’en and costume parties. When Sigurdson asked for volunteers, almost every hand shot up. The first two volunteers were asked to study the mask he handed them and determine what expression it had and what the corresponding movement would be like. Then the students put the masks on and role-played what the mask conveyed. Wearing a mask can have a liberating effect. “There’s something very freeing
about when you’re wearing a mask. As soon as you put the mask on it says ‘I’m pretending.’ All you’re doing is matching your body to whatever the expression is on the mask,” said Sigurdson. The mask creates a hiding place for people where they feel safe and it allows them to become characters and do things and say things that they wouldn’t normally do in real life. “It’s this liberating effect that’s made masks so important to many different cultures throughout time.” For Sigurdson, the performance at SCP was the end of a province-wide tour involving 39 shows in 30 different communities. The Winnipeg artist said it’s the kind of show that needs to be practiced before an audience to find out what works, and it just got better with each performance.

Home-school students pumped about staging theatrical comedy By TERRY PUGH tpugh@cgazette.ca It’s all about the laughs. A group of home-schooled students in Prairie Spirit School Division are learning what it takes to connect with an audience, as they prepare for opening night later this month. The Prairie Spirit Theatre Company is staging a comedy called “Crumpled Classics” on Friday, November 27 and Saturday, November 28 at the Warman Community Middle School Theatre. It’s the company’s eighth production since it began in 2009, and promises to be another entertaining show for all ages. “It’s definitely the most unique show we’ve done because it’s a bunch of plays within a play,” said Nicholas Gilbey, one of two young thespians in the group who have been involved in every production since the beginning.
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
The cast of “Crumpled Classics” includes (Back row, left to right) Samuel Hildebrandt, Ethan Ens (Middle row) Deloney Krahn, Mackenzie Williams, Mackenzie Krahn, Taylor Martin, Emilie Martin, Levi Andres (Front row) Isaiah Krahn, Faith Krahn, Tori Fehr, Nicholas Gilbey
warman rollover Two young males were lucky to walk away with very minor injuries following a vehicle rollover on Jones Crescent in Warman on Monday, November 16. The incident occurred about 8:45 p.m. The vehicle appeared to have been travelling at a high rate of speed when it hit a fire hydrant and flipped over. The site of the crash is a new neighbourhood under construction at the north end of Warman. Warman Fire Rescue emergency personnel treated the youths at the scene. Warman RCMP are investigating the incident. TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

“We all play multiple characters, and each one of them is very different.” The best part about staging a comedy every year is the reaction from the audience, say the students, all of whom are working with their parents to produce all aspects of the play. “When you say a funny line and you get the laughs, that makes it all worthwhile,” said Nicholas. For one of the students, Torii Fehr, stepping out on stage in front of an audience is no longer terrifying. In fact, it’s leading her to consider acting as a career. But in the meantime, there’s still some work to do before opening night. The students received their scripts in June and spent time over the summer learning their lines. Serious rehearsals began in September. “I like being part of this because it’s helped me make friends,” said Mackenzie Williams. “We just moved here and getting together with other kids and working on this is the most fun I’ve had.” The plot of “Crumpled Classics” involves several skits performed by actors taking on various roles. The students play a group of teenage actors who take it upon themselves to pull together the annual “Classics on Parade” by acting out famous literary stories, including Romeo and Juliet, Frankenstein, Phantom of the Opera and Sherlock Holmes. The kicker is that each of these classics is set in a totally unpredictable locale, and the characters are nothing like the originals. Tickets to the productions are $5 each and can be purchased by phoning Melissa at 700-00552.

Martensville Pharamsave supports diabetes awareness campaign
As Diabetes Awareness Month continues, Pharmasave Martensville, along with other Pharmasave locations across Saskatchewan and Manitoba, is covering their store with blue circles in support of the Canadian Diabetes Association’s D-Camps, which allows children with diabetes to go to camp. Diabetes affects an estimated 93,000 adults and children in Saskatchewan alone, and that number is expected to grow to an estimated 129,000 people by 2025, according to the Canadian Diabetes Association. The blue circles, the universal symbol for diabetes, are being sold at Pharmasave Martensville’s checkout counters for $2 for the
entire month of November and are displayed in the store in support for the cause. “This is our fourth year participating in the Blue Circle campaign that runs each November, and, so far, we have raised over $30,470 in support of Dcamps,” said Paul Melnyk, BSP, and Director of Pharmacy Operations at Pharmasave. “It is our hope that we can further raise awareness and money so that kids with diabetes can go to camp and be in a safe environment where they can meet and connect with other kids that share similar challenges and experiences.” The D-Camps, located in Watrous, Arlington Beach, Saskatoon and Re-
gina, are camps specially designed for kids with type 1 diabetes. These camps teach children how to self-manage their diabetes in a supportive, medically supervised environment. Doctors, Registered Nurses, Dietitians and Diabetes Educators are all readily available to help teach, support and care for the children at the camp. Campers often return home better able to manage their day-to-day hurdles, and be more independent with their diabetes care. Pharmasave is also supporting the Canadian Diabetes Association with their Clothesline® program, with some locations hosting the signature red bin outside the store.
