Rookie MP learning the Parliamentary playbook By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette Kevin Waugh was busy knocking on doors last fall, and now he’s doing it again. Last time around he was looking to get elected. This time he’s addressing concerns raised by the electorate. The newly elected Conservative Member of Parliament for the riding of Saskatoon-Grasswood is not content to simply stand around and watch paint dry. He’s keen to move into his new office on 8th Street (formerly the digs of Rob Norris), but new carpet and fresh paint are still being added. To get the ball rolling, Waugh has taken to visiting people in their homes. His vehicle has become a mobile office. “We’d like to get into the office right now. But my staff and I are operating out of our vehicles,” he said. Constituents have been pleasantly surprised. ‘You’re at our house,’ some have said, with a look that says, ‘is this normal?’ He’ll point out to the street and say, “See that vehicle? That’s my office.” They’ve been very appreciative,

he said. Issues relating to immigration, Canada revenue
and other matters of varying complexity have landed in his collective ‘inbox’
in recent weeks. So Waugh is out there, launching into casework and getting signatures to move forward. Waugh was sworn in on November 20, 2015 and sat for a session of Parliament from December 2 to 11. The rookie MP has logged some new experiences out in Ottawa. Question period was a bit of a surprise. While familiar with the process, Waugh found that, ironically, it yielded no answers. The same question could be asked two or three times and not get answers. “Rona Ambrose would ask it, maybe Lisa Raitt would ask it and Tony Clement would ask it in three different ways, and still no answer,” he said. “So that was disappointing.” He was first up for “House Duty” on Monday, December 7. It’s a long 10 to 12 hour day. On that particular day they were talking about the speech from the throne. “There’s only 15 or 20 of us in there all day. It’s so that they can’t pull a surprise vote, that’s why we’re in there,” said Waugh. He says he made a mental note to self to pace
himself on ‘duty days.’ Waugh stayed in Ottawa over the weekend during that first parliamentary session. As the newbie, he was staying in a hotel, waiting for the renovations on the condo he’ll be sharing with Tom Lukiwski to be completed. That weekend, a number of people from the Saskatoon-Grasswood riding called to ask if, by some fluke, Mr. Waugh was there and if so, could he show them around. Well, yes he was, and yes, he could! “I took them through the House of Commons. There were three couples one day and two the next. I didn’t know any of them,” said Waugh. “I really enjoyed that and I really appreciate the people phoning.” Waugh says he doesn’t miss his sportscaster gig much, something he did for forty years, at least not the professional sports end of it, such as the NHL, NFL and CHL. He keeps tabs on local sports, like high school basketball, the Blades, the Huskies, etc. “I’ve only been to one Blades game, and I’m going to be honest. They’ve
had such a big changeover, I didn’t know a lot of the players. I needed a program,” he laughed. Waugh has also been attending a lot of events, since he doesn’t have an office. He attended the Crop Production Show at Prairieland Park in mid-January. There is where his former world and his new world intersected. “I got stopped all day. People congratulated me; some said, ‘make them accountable’.” Then he ran into Gerald Shymko whose curling career he had followed and reported on for years. “All of a sudden I see him in his work, selling aerators. Instead of seeing him as a curler, I see him doing his work. It was kind of neat to see guys that you’ve known for years in their workplace instead of in my workplace when I was covering it,” said Waugh. Waugh will soon be back in Ottawa. But so far this rookie MP is having a great time. “I’ve enjoyed it immensely. I’ve enjoyed the people. Whether I can help them or not, we do take their cases forward,” he said.
SLIPPERY SITUATION
Heavy snowfall in the area last week created slippery roads and highways, causing problems for motorists. A minor collision due to icy conditions occurred on Thursday morning, January 14 on a gravel road approach to Highway 11 south of Warman. Warman Fire Rescue and Warman RCMP responded to the collision. No one was hurt in the incident. TERRY PUGH / CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Martensville’s Mini-Mansion KidSport playhouse project is really starting to take shape By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca It may not be the biggest or fanciest new house being built in Martensville, but it’s definitely going to be a hot item when it comes on the market in a few weeks. A group of dedicated high school students at Martensville High School (MHS) are close to finishing a two-storey playhouse that will be raffled off to raise funds for local KidSport charities. When it’s completed, the fully-finished and uniquely decorated playhouse will be on display at the Martensville A&W, where KidSport raffle tickets will be available. The project is a partnership between the school’s industrial arts (IA) program, Martensville A&W, and the Cities of Warman and Martensville. With support from Martensville Building and Home Supply and the Clark’s Crossing Gazette, the playhouse fundraising project should help boost the local KidSport organizations’ capacity for helping low-income youngsters get involved in organized sports activities in the two communities.
Construction of the playhouse began last fall when a group of Grade 12 students were chosen by IA shop teacher David Fossum to work on the project. Fossum had to step aside temporarily due to a health issue, but his replacement, Patrick Wills, has picked up where he left off. While the original plan was to have the playhouse built by January, it’s taken a little longer than anticipated due to the complicated construction techniques involved and the fact that students have limited time during classes and spare periods to work on it. The new timeline is to have it ready by the end of February, said Wills. “We’re moving along as fast as we can with what we’ve got, “said Wills in an interview at the schools woodworking shop on Thursday, January 14. “This is definitely the most complicated school building project I’ve been involved in here. A lot of it involves the students figuring things out as they go along. They’re working very hard on it and putting in a lot of extra time. There’s definitely a lot
of pride being built into this little house.” The MHS carpentry program builds outdoor storage sheds every year for customers around the province, but this project takes things to a whole different level. Plans based on this playhouse are being prepared by MHS students taking a computer-aided design (CAD) drafting course. The playhouse is being constructed inside the school’s shop, and currently dominates the floor area. Now that the frame, walls and roof are in place, the students are putting the finishing touches on the upper-storey dormer windows. Eventually, the first level will be finished with drywall and flooring; doors and glass windows will be installed, and the interior walls will be finished and decorated. Once it’s finished, it will be moved out of the shop through an overhead door. But since there’s only about two inches clearance, it will be a ticklish operation, admitted Wills. “It’ll be interesting, definitely,” he said. “But we can do it.”

A cloud of snow is thrown to the side as a Ministry of Highways snowplow truck clears the shoulder of Highway 11 near Warman on Thursday, January 14. Highways crews were busy for
several days late last week keeping roads in the region clear as several centimetes of snow made driving somewhat treacherous in spots.
Developments in Dalmeny: a reno, a pond and a gas bar
By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The J. J. Loewen Community Centre in Dalmeny recently got a face-lift. Some much needed renovation work has now been completed. However, it’s not that visible so maybe it was more like a tummy-tuck. It was one of those situations where, once you take a peek, it snowballs. Mayor Nick Bakker believes it started with a leak in the roof. While looking into the roof, mold was discovered. “We needed to do some remedial work on it and we did that right away,” he said. The mold wasn’t that extensive. “It was in a few localized spots. But when you start looking you can’t leave it because if you find some, you want to check everywhere,” he added. Checking ‘everywhere’ revealed a few more remedial needs. “Of course, when you start, as with any renovation, you find other things that were not done properly or could have been done better.” A plugged sewer line needed to be fixed, some clean-up and reorganization was necessary, some drywall was replaced, some plumbing got corrected and the roof got redone.
“These were just little things but when you’re looking at a big building like that, little things add up and it was a pretty extensive project by the end of the day,” said Bakker. The RM of Corman Park stepped up to help with the costs, to the tune of $75,000. “That was pretty awesome,” said Bakker. “We have a really good working relationship with the RM. And of course, so many RM residents use Dalmeny as their hub and participate in community events and make use of the facilities. So it was pretty nice that the RM sent us a significant contribution to help with that.” The town dipped into its municipal reserve fund to cover the remainder of the costs and get the job done. At their regular meeting on January 11, councilors discussed adding acoustic broadway panels to the auditorium for sound buffering, and purchasing some new round tables for the centre. Bakker, who was Dalmeny police chief for many years, said when he started in 1982, the J. J. Loewen Centre had just been completed. “It was a pretty popular facility back then.”
Bakker is excited about some other changes coming down the pike, like the new Co-op gas bar. “We’re still looking at late 2016 or early 2017 for it to be operational,” he said. The town will conduct infrastructure work to ready the site for the Co-op to do their part, in this much-anticipated addition to the community. The retention pond project at the southern boundary of town is going forward. Bakker calls it a ‘really good thing’ for the community, as it will help address chronic drainage issues in the town. Machibroda Engineering conducted a geotechnical investigation of the land and pronounced it suitable for a retention pond. There’s a possibility of engaging Great Plains College in part of the excavation of the retention pond, since they do instruction on this kind of thing and have the equipment needed. “I know that they have helped out in Warman and in Martensville. I’m sure it will become part of the tendering process and it sounds like a real win-win for both the college and for the community,” said Bakker. After a year of being mayor, Bakker said he’s enjoy-
ing the role. Following an interesting election process in late 2014, the council has settled in.

Open house aims to ‘demystify’ Islamic religion By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca There’s a world of difference between “true Islam” which promotes peace; and the twisted ideology of terrorist groups spreading war and hatred, says a leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community of Saskatoon. Khalid Minhas, an Imam who leads prayers in the community’s mosque in Saskatoon, said the motto of the group is “love for all and hatred for none.” “It’s unfortunate that many people who are not familiar with our religion may tend to paint all Muslims with the same brush,” said Minhas in an interview during an open house in Martensville on Saturday, January 16. “They see the terrorist activities that are happening around the world, and those terrorists claim to be acting in the name of Islam. “But the reality is that what these terrorists are doing is the exact opposite of true Islam. These terrorist organizations have nothing to do with the religion
of Islam, because true Islam teaches peace.” Minhas and several members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association were in Martensville as part of a national campaign to “Demystify Islam.” The campaign began last month and includes over 135 open houses and over 270 visits to more than 35 cities and towns across Canada. The goal of the campaign is to build bridges and increase communication and understanding, said Minhas. The group has scheduled another open house in Warman this coming weekend. Minhas said the Ahmadiyya Muslim sect was founded in India in 1889 and hastens of millions of adherents in 206 countries. The community was established 50 years ago in Canada. The Saskatoon group is currently building a new mosque on Boychuk Drive to accommodate its growing membership. Minhas said the Ahmadiyya Muslim sect is an international revival movement
within Islam that follows the teachings of a latter-day Messiah named Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908). The group condemns religious wars and bloodshed, promotes justice and peace, and encourages people to establish a personal relationship with God. The sect is neither Sunni nor Shia (the two major divisions within Islam dating back to a political split that occurred after the death of the prophet Muhammed in the fifth century AD). Minhas said the group is reaching out to people of all faiths, including other Muslims, to promote their message of peace. “We believe there is a lot of common ground between all religions,” said Minhas. “True religions have the same source, and they share very similar beliefs, such as peace and kindness. “The words are different but the message is the same: all true religions encourage you to become a good human being and have a living relationship with God, the Creator.”
Richert nominated for NDP in Biggar-Sask Valley riding Dan Richert was nominated Saturday evening, January 16, to be the New Democrat candidate in the Biggar-Sask. Valley constituency. ”It’s great to have Dan on our team of candidates, because I know he cares deeply about ensuring that Saskatchewan achieves our full potential as a province,” said NDP Leader Cam Broten. “I’m hearing from more and more families in the Biggar-Sask. Valley constituency, and throughout the entire province, that they’re tired of being taken for granted by the Sask. Party. They want an MLA that shares their priorities and puts them first, and that’s why Dan is a great choice.” Richert works in the housing sector for LaRoche McDonald Agencies, and previously worked for Saskatoon Housing Initiatives Partnership – a non-profit organization that helps developers build affordable housing. He’s also passionate about working with Saskatchewan’s youth. He was dean of students at Rosthern Junior College for four years, and also served as the college’s
development and community relations officer. Throughout university, he volunteered as the board chair for Saskatchewan youth summer camps offered through his church. “I share Cam Broten’s vision of families, students and seniors benefiting so much more in Saskatchewan,” said Richert. “During boom times in our province, the Sask. Party failed to invest in what matters most and they wasted so much money on misplaced priorities. Now, instead of cutting their own waste, they’re cutting the health care and education we should all be able to count on. “We need to fix and improve public services, we need to ensure that people who need home care or mental health support or a specialist appointment can get that help whenever they need it. That’s what Cam Broten is working for and that’s why I’m proud to be on his team.” Richert has deep roots in the constituency, from his grandparents’ hometown in Waldheim to his aunt and uncle’s farm near Langham.
Ryan Lamarche will be the Saskatchewan Green Party’s candidate in the Biggar-Sask Valley constituency in the April 4 provincial election. Lamarche lives in Dalmeny and is a gas station and truck operator. Lamarche is running for the Saskatchewan Green Party because after meeting Party Leader Victor Lau, he wants to be part of the team that Victor is building to make Saskatchewan more sustainable, democratic and independent. “Victor understands that the future of Saskatchewan lies in being self-sufficient instead of being dependent on the federal government in Ottawa,” says Lamarche.
“Therefore I’m proud to stand with Victor in this election campaign, and to ask the people of Biggar-Sask Valley to elect me as their MLA.” Lamarche promises that as the MLA for Biggar-Sask Valley, he will work to expand the Crop Insurance program, place ambulance fees under Medicare and expand the Seniors Drug plan to include all Saskatchewan people. Lau welcomes Lamarche aboard. “Ryan represents the future of rural Saskatchewan and strongly supports our vision to make the rural economy more sustainable, prosperous and revitalized.”
Lamarche candidate for Greens
Jimbo to carry NDP colours
Dr. Steve Jimbo was selected to serve as the New Democrat candidate for Saskatoon Stonebridge-Dakota at a nomination meeting on Monday evening. Jimbo is a project manager and a postdoctoral research scientist with the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S). He earned a PhD in Vaccinology and Immunotherapeutics from the U of S. ”I’m proud to have Steve on our team because I know how dedicated he is to building brighter futures for everyone who calls Saskatchewan home,” said NDP Leader
Cam Broten, who attended the nomination meeting. While completing his PhD, Jimbo was a student leader, including as vice president of student affairs and vice president of external affairs with the Graduate Student Association, and chair of the Saskatchewan branch of the Canadian Federation of Students. He has also played leadership roles in other community organizations. Jimbo and his wife Jania, a PhD candidate at the U of S School of Environment and Sustainability, live in the south end of Saskatoon.

Don’t force First Nations people to wait for accountability By: Todd MacKay Canadian Taxpayers Federation
COMMENTARY
Charmaine Stick takes care of six kids. She also reads financial documents to keep an eye on her local government because “what else would she do at home all day?” But she can’t find out how much her band chief is paid. Her chief cites treaty rights as a reason to avoid transparency, but she says accountability to the community is an essential part of First Nations culture. Ms. Stick lives on Onion Lake First Nation in Saskatchewan. More than 93 per cent of Canadian First Nations have complied with the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA) and disclosed basic financial information such as the salaries of chiefs and councils. Onion Lake refused to provide this transparency and fought the government in court. Now Ms. Stick may have a longer wait for answers because of a recent decision made by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett. “In keeping with our commitment to a renewed, nation-to-nation relationship, the Government of Canada will suspend any court actions against First Nations who have not complied with the Act,” said Minister Bennett in a written statement. She went on to add that “transparency and accountability are paramount to any government, whether it is municipal, provincial, federal or First Nation.” The legislation allows the government to withhold non-essential funding from unaccountable bands, but Minister Bennett is now giving up that enforcement mechanism. The Globe and Mail, National Post and Toronto Star defined the issue early with wellwritten editorials calling for transparency and accountability. Canada’s media stalwarts are not the only sources of support for First Nations accountability. “Transparency is a logical idea,” wrote First Nations author Richard Wagamece in First Nations Drum. “Why not show Canadians how well we can manage our own affairs?” There are, of course, those opposed to the legislation. “First Nations fully support accountability but Bill C-27 [FNFTA] is a flawed piece of legislation that does not respect our rights and must be repealed,” said Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde. “[Minister Bennett’s] announcement gives us an opportunity to work together on a better approach where First Nations are accountable to their citizens first.” Others have a more blunt opinion. “It’s always about this discrimination and sorry to say, for me it’s racism,” said Chief Wallace Fox of Onion Lake. “It’s discriminatory legislation because no other race is subject to this legislation in Canada except Indian people.” Chief Fox ignores the simple fact that the need for accountability is universal and elected leaders around the world publish their salaries. Here’s the simple reality: Ms. Stick doesn’t know how much Chief Fox is getting paid. She is, however, well aware that the average income for people living in Onion Lake is $17,528. Accountable government is critical to improving life for Ms Stick and her family. As the minister responsible, Minister Bennett has access to answers that are hidden from Ms. Stick. Notwithstanding Minister Bennett’s commitment to an improved nation-to-nation relationship, she cannot keep those answers hidden forever. Ms. Stick must not be left waiting in the dark.

For Conservative MPs, it’s a new ball game To suggest Prince Albert MP Randy Hoback is a victim of circumstance would be inaccurate. Really, he’s nothing more than a victim of cold, hard political reality. Those fortunate enough to be elected as government members; be it at the federal or provincial level; are often destined to the misfortune of then being elected to serve in opposition. Neither option is within a candidate’s control. Which side of the assembly you get to exercise your own, your party’s or your constituents’ views is left to the fate and wisdom of the electorate as a whole. However, there are a couple of things that are more certain. If you are a politician, being elected; either to government or opposition; sure as hell beats not being elected. It is only by acquiring the approval of the local electorate that you have any voting say on public policy. And Hoback; one of 10 mostly rural Conservative MPs from Saskatchewan to be elected last October; seems well aware that he is one of the fortunate few. However, the other certainty is that it’s always easi-

Provincial Politics
er to be elected as an opposition MP before being elected as a government MP; even if it doesn’t always seem that way. Sure, there are times when the work of a government backbencher may seem like the ideal political job. Generally, you are not burdened with the same responsibilities as your colleagues on the government side (burdened with a tremendous responsibility) or your foes in opposition (burdened without that responsibility of spending taxpayers’ money, but requiring a far broader knowledge base without the same resources to acquire that knowledge). For Hoback; first elected in 2008 as a member of Harper’s then-minority government; that has been the situation for his eight-year political career. With the exception of a select few like former agriculture minister Gerry Ritz or now Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan MP Tom Luki-

wski, designated to defend Stephen Harper government policies, few government backbenchers were heard. Although, some like Yorkton-Melville MP Gary Breitkreuz or re-elected Cypress Hills MP David Anderson were vocal when it came to fulfilling opposition-days promises like ending the long-gun registry or the Canadian Wheat Board as a single-desk seller. (As previously mentioned, being first elected to opposition holds many advantages; one of them being, triumphantly announcing changes advocated as opposition members.) Of course, there were less favourable aspects of the job, like also having to explain the failed 2006 Conservative promise to remove non-renewable resources from the equalization formula. However, the beauty of being one of many rank and file backbench MPs is that it’s relatively easy to steer clear of the media until such controversies blow over. The job tends to be confined to ribbon-cuttings and getting re-elected so that the government can either achieve or maintain a majority. But as an elected opposition MP, Conservatives like
Hoback must now re-invent themselves as something more than the local political representative in government. They must still be all that, but they also must be someone who can reach out to voters beyond their constituency. They must demonstrate why Conservatives are again worthy of the trust of the nation as a whole. “It’s a struggle, no question,” Hoback said in a recent interview. One of the most difficult parts might very well be reaching out to voters; many of them, urban voters from larger cities across the nation that share less with Saskatchewan constituents, Hoback admitted. For that, MPs like Hoback may rely on past private sector experience, like his work for Flexicoil that took him to South America and allowed him to develop some knowledge in foreign policy in that region. But generally, it means listening; albeit to a wider audience that might not automatically share the views and concerns of your constituents. For Hoback and other Conservative MPs, it’s like starting over.
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.

Changes in speed limits, traffic signals needed: study
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A comprehensive traffic study is recommending the City of Warman make changes to speed limits on arterial roadways; adjust signage for school zones, crosswalks and parking; and install traffic signals at several key intersections within the next five years. The study also recommends that Range Road 3051 on the western boundary of the municipality be upgraded as part of a comprehensive truck route proposal. The traffic study recommendations were unveiled at a public open house on the City of Warman Transportation Master Plan, held Wednesday, January 13 at the Brian King Centre. The traffic study began last September with traffic data collection, and an initial open house was held in November to gather public feedback. Paul Bumstead with Dillon Consulting, the engineering firm that conducted the study, said the consultants took into account anticipated future growth and identified traffic patterns in the future. “We did an assessment of current traffic conditions and identified several areas that require improvements,” said Bumstead in an interview at the open house on January 13. “We’ve recommended solutions and suggested a strate-
gy for rolling out those infrastructure and operational improvements.” The report recommends signalized traffic lights at key intersections, including Central Street and 6th Avenue; Centennial Boulevard and Central Street; Centennial Boulevard and 4th Street; and Centennial Boulevard and Clubhouse Boulevard. The report also recommends that speed limits on major arterial roads, including Centennial Boulevard and Central Street be raised to 50 kilometers per hour. Currently, portions of both Centennial and Central are designated as school zones and have a 30 kilometer per hour speed limit. Bumstead said the traffic data gathered last fall indicated that a majority of the drivers paid little attention to the posted speed limits. He noted that there are other, more effective ways to improve safety along those sections of roadway, including consistent, highlyvisible signage and clearly-designated crosswalks with specialized signage and crossing guards on duty at peak periods. “Traffic safety is dependent on the three ‘E’s’,” he said. “It includes engineering, education and enforcement. You can engineer a safe roadway and safe environment, but you also need to educate
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
The Warman traffic study recommends signals at the intersection of Central Street and 6th Avenue drivers and pedestrians, and you also have to have an element of enforcement there as well.” The study identified short and long-term priorities for improvements. Short-term priorities within the next five years include traffic signals at four key intersections, which could cost about $220,000 to $250,000 each. Upgrading signage and improvements to the city’s school zones would cost an estimated $155,000. Upgrades to Range Road 3051 was also identified as a priority, but it could be
phased in and the estimated $2.44 million cost would also be partially paid for by off-site development fees. The traffic study identified parking as an area requiring further work. The study also provides a set of criteria known as “warrants” that will allow city officials to make informed decisions on traffic signage and other issues. The traffic study will go before Warman City Council in February. The report is posted on the
City of Warman website (www. warman.ca) and public feedback is encouraged, according to Warman Deputy Mayor Gary Philipchuk, chair of the city’s transportation committee. “There are some controversial recommendations in the report,” agreed Philipchuk in an interview on Friday, January 15. “The feedback I’ve heard from people is their concern about the possible CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Martensville youth sets sights on Ottawa arts scene By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca He says he’s not Beethoven and insists he can’t draw, but he’s definitely musical. It’s that artistic nature that propelled Cole Zacharias to apply for an Arts & Culture themed visit to Ottawa. Launched 34 years ago, the program ‘Encounters with Canada’ has sent 102,000 youth to explore various aspects of their nation. “They take a bunch of kids from different provinces of Canada and they bring them all together to Ottawa,” said Cole. “And, depending on what theme you pick, you get to do different activities. Now it’s Cole’s turn. Cole had heard about the program from other boys at school, and decided to look into it. Of all the themes
available – Science & Technology, the Justice System, Medicine, Journalism, 13 in all – Cole had no doubt what theme he would choose. “I picked ‘Arts and Culture,’ where we get to do stuff like look at museums do slam poetry and things like that.” “They’ll be visiting the National Gallery of Canada and making a trip to Parliament Hill,” his mom, Christy added. She said Cole is a guy who enjoys walking around in art galleries. Previous students who participated in the program were on Parliament Hill on the day Justin Trudeau was sworn in, according to Christy. Though they didn’t know about this in advance, they got to witness history.

Cole Zacharias will take lapel pins from his grandfather to Ottawa
Encounter with Canada is held at The Terry Fox Canadian Youth Centre not far from downtown Ottawa. It’s in a residential area and there’s a nurse on site, facts that are reassuring to parents. The trip is not just a culture fix for Cole. He loves to travel. “I’m a huge travel junky and I just love to travel in general. I’ve never really been around other parts of Canada. It would be really interesting to go to the capital and there will be a lot of great experiences,” said Cole. Christy said there’s a big map of the world in his room. Mom and Dad took Cole to Paris last year so Mom’s not too worried about him flying to Ottawa alone. He’s gained some experience navigating big airports. Encounter with Canada is cele
brating their 35th anniversary in 2017. They’ve launched the ambitious goal of making a Guinness World Record attempt for the largest mosaic made with pins representing Canada. Cole and others are collecting pins to bring to Ottawa. He already has pins from a couple of politicians, a newspaper, a school, the city of Martensville and Canada flag pins, so he’s got a great start. Possibly the most special part of his collection is some pins he got from his grandfather. Christy says there’s everything from Canadian blood services who was her mom’s employer to the exhibition, where her dad was a judge for the youth talent search for many years. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca What would happen if a major winter ice storm took out power lines, blocked major highways, destroyed properties and threatened lives in the region? It’s easy to say: ‘it can’t happen here,’ but the reality is that it can and probably will at some point, according to Randy Meginbir, Coordinator of the City of Warman’s Emergency Measures Organization (EMO). “Failure to prepare is really just preparation for failure,” said Meginbir in an interview on Thursday, January 14 at the city’s Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) room at the Warman Fire Hall. For two hours that morning, the EOC was the site of a regular monthly Emergency Operations training session for city staff and elected officials. The session was the second in a three-part series aimed at beefing up the city’s capacity to respond to a very severe winter storm. The initial training session for this scenario was held in December and the final session will take place in February. “The scenario is based on a very realistic situation that has happened in other parts of the country,” said Meginbir. “A few years ago, a major ice storm hit eastern Canada and took down all the infrastructure including major powTERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE er lines.

Strong Saskatchewan Economy, Despite Challenges In spite of challenges on the resource front, Saskatchewan’s economy remained strong compared to other provinces in 2015. Our province remains at or near the top among Canadian provinces in many important economic categories, like job creation, unemployment rate and population growth. Saskatchewan has had the lowest unemployment rate in the country for 26 of the past 27 months and our province is on track for another year of record employment. Saskatchewan is also second among Canadian provinces in population growth rate with 12,312 more people over the past year. There is no doubt that the slowdown in the resource sector is causing some challenges for our economy, but the fact we have been able to withstand the considerable economic hit while still showing economic progress speaks volumes about the resiliency and the diversity of Saskatchewan’s economy.

Wenc, Larner honoured with volunteer award By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Brian MacPher-
son Volunteer of the Year Award was presented to Wes Wenc, President of the Martensville Softball Association; and Fern Larner, Treasurer of the Warman Softball Association, on Sunday, January 17. The award was named in honour of the late Brian MacPherson, and is aimed at recognizing the efforts of local volunteers to the sport of softball in both Warman and Martensville. The award was presented at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP)
by Colleen Rowley, a sister-in-law to MacPherson. Both Wenc and Larner have been active in promoting softball and volunteering with their local organizations for many years. Neither have youngsters in the program anymore, but both remain key members of the executive of the organization. The award presentation coincided with the first of two selection camp weekends for the Twin City Angels at the MAP. The Twin City Angels softball teams include squirt, pee wee, bantam and midget age groups. The Twin City Angels program is aimed at pro-
viding opportunities for girls from both Martensville and Warman to play competitive softball at a higher level. “It was a good move to combine the two programs and draw from both cities,” said Wenc. “The objective is to make our ball programs more competitive, and I really think it’s done that. Our teams are now able to play against the best teams from Saskatoon and Regina.” The amalgamation has also improved communication and built friendships between players, coaches and parents in both communities, said Larner. The season schedule
for the Twin City Angels teams begins in early May and is similar to last season. One difference this year, though, is that some of the teams will be joining the Girls Prairie League Softball (GPLS) league, which includes teams from Alberta and Saskatchewan. Teams in the league play three weekend tournaments over the course of the season as well as one playoff tournament. “Wenc said last season the Twin City Angels midget team played in the Saskatoon ladies softball league, but had a hard time fielding enough players over the course of the summer. The GPLS, meanwhile, winds up its season at the end of June, which is better suited to younger age groups. The Twin City Angels is

Home crowd loves Rush
By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Judging by the electricity in the crowd at the January 15 Rush home opener, the appetite for lacrosse, or at least for a professional sports league in Saskatchewan, is strong. The Rush took a loss, but it was a close contest and fans remained riveted until the end when the Stealth was up by one and a tie still looked possible. But with another late goal Stealth clinched the win. It needs to be said that the goalie suit in professional lacrosse is large and the goal itself is not (4’ high x 4’ 9” wide). Nevertheless, the tiny white ball did create considerable excitement, making it past the gatekeepers for a 13 to 11 Vancouver Stealth win. The Stealth took an early lead, ending the first quarter ahead 5 2. By halftime, the Rush had come from behind to lead 9 - 7, and play had gotten a little rough. There were 12 penalties between the teams in the second quarter. After that the Rush seemed to lose steam a bit, and didn’t score at all in the final quarter. “We lost our composure at the end of the half,” said head coach Derek Keenan, post-game. “We had a bunch of bodies in the penalty box and our offense ran out of gas. And we just didn’t move our feet.” Lacrosse presents similarities to both basketball and hockey. Like hockey, play moves behind the net. But with hockey, the rink gets quiet when play starts and you can hear the scrape of blades moving on the ice. With lacrosse, the music keeps thumping throughout the game and energy remains high. Chris Corbeil scored an impressive goal in a move evocative of a basketball game. Reaching from behind the net, his stick extended forward over the front of the net for a score similar to “stuffing” the ball in basketball. Corbeil had three goals on the night, Robert Church netted three, Curtis Knight had a couple, and Mark Matthews had a goal and significantly, five assists. Matthews was one of the stars of the night. The crowd was treated to some efficient, fast-paced passing sequences. Snagging the ball off a re-

Keenan found the reaction from the crowd to be fantastic. “It was awesome. I’m disappointed we didn’t get a win for them, because certainly it wasn’t for lack of their enthusiasm.”
Keenan said the team played out of character in parts of the game. “We lost composure and maybe it was because we were trying to do a little too much in front of a new fan base. I felt that at times.” The high energy Johner Boys kicked off the night with The Rush

Wrestling action heats up at Scratch and Claw tournament By WAYNE SHIELS essenceofsask@gmail.com While the weather outside was dangerously cold with minus 40s windchill, the action was very hot inside the Legends Centre in Warman as the Warman High School hosted the first annual Scratch and Claw Wrestling Tournament on Saturday, January 16. A total of 375 athletes from 35 schools participated in the event, with matches taking place simultaneously on seven mats. While Warman High School (WHS) wrestling coaches Jesse Reis and Matt Linner, along with wrestling coach at Warman Community Middle School, Erin Hoffman, were the main organizers, Reis was quick to point out the success of the tournament depended on the help of over 50 volunteers, including staff, students, former athletes and parents. “It is a great community for that,” said Reis. “You kind of get the word out and there are always people willing to help.” Reis was pumped about the overwhelming success of
the tournament. “Just the number of people here. I am kind of blown away by it,” he said. Reis explained that since hosting the SHSAA regionals last year, the number of students interested in the sport has really increased, with up to 35 students participating. “One of the impressive things is we started last year with two or three girls, now we have 12,” he said. Now in their fifth year, Warman High has experienced success as the boys team won the 3A provincial championship last year.
STOBART IN THE MIX
Athletes from Stobart Community School in Duck Lake also participated. The program was started last year by teacher David Bennett. He also has seen interest in the sport increase as his team has almost double the numbers from last year. Bennett sees these early tournaments as a chance for his athletes to get valuable experience. “These early tournaments are about getting lots of ex-
perience on the mat,” said Bennett. “Learning how to move around. The more matches they get, the better they get. It’s just developing a wrestling sense, which is a big thing we were missing last year. “The good thing about this tournament is they have a novice side with beginning wrestlers only, and an elite side for more experienced wrestlers,” he added. Bennett’s team also plans to attend a major tournament at the end of January in Edmonton at the University of Alberta to allow their continued development. The Scratch and Claw tournament was an important competition as both schools are working toward a strong showing at the SHSAA regional competition, slated to be held at Prince Albert St. Mary’s High School on March 4 and 5. The teams hopes to make a solid showing there in order to advance to the provincial championship tournament, which will be at Holy Cross High School in Saskatoon on March 11.

Warman girls earn silver in junior basketball tournament By CORRIE POMARENSKI Warman High School The Melfort Comets took the gold medal and the Warman Wolverines girls junior A basketball team placed second in the seventh annual Blastoff Junior Basketball tournament in Warman last weekend; while the Langham Vikings girls team placed third. On the boys side, Laird won gold, Melfort was second, and Lloydminster placed third. A total of 16 teams participated in the tournament, which including four teams from Warman, and two teams each from Dalmeny, Langham, Valley Christian Academy in Osler, Lloydminster, Melfort, and Laird. The Junior A boys team started the weekend off playing VCA Lions on Fri-

day afternoon. Unfortunately they lost out in a nail biter 26-30 which would see
defeating Melfort and they were hungry for the same result. The girls played hard and were matched up well the entire game. However, in a three minute stretch in the second quarter, the girls allowed Melfort a window where they jumped ahead 6 baskets. The girls didn’t allow anymore of a jump from that one lull in play but they couldn’t catch up or close the gap either. They took second place overall in a 4129 final score. The girls will be looking for a rematch in their upcoming tournament this weekend! The Junior B Boys team played their first match against College park from Llyodminister. They played hard but lost out 47-29, which would put the boys in the B side competition
The team includes (not in order) Coach Corey Fast, Coach Evan Folden, Mackenzie Rowan, Paige Pomarenski, Rebecca Sawtsky, Taylor Kosmynka, Mackenzie Coutts, Sophia Bayles, Cara Misskey, Ryleigh White, Bailey Coulter, Mackenzie Masich, Aime Owen, Laren Wiebe them move to the B side. Their next game would pit them against Dalmeny first thing in the morning. The boys had another close game, unfortunately being defeated 47-43. The boys fought hard and had some great plays but will have to wait until their next tournament for redemption. The Junior A girls would play the last match of the evening at 8pm against College Park from Llyodminister. They won the game 4729 which would take them to the A side against VCA at 8 am on Saturday. This game also proved to be an easy win for the team as they won 46-21. It would prove to be a long day before playing in the A side final against their long time rivals, Melfort at 6:30pm.

Theatre arts program flourishes in new facility By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The new theatre in the Martensville High School is a thing of beauty. Mainly black beauty. This is one very fortunate student body. The facility will take theatre arts to new heights, not just in the school but in the community. Micah Robinson, the man at the heart of the theatre arts program at Martensville High, is fairly over the moon about it. “I couldn’t be more excited about having a space like this. I love it!” he said. Robinson teaches history, english and theatre arts at the school. Students are getting ready to present “The Crucible,” a play by Arthur Miller based on the Salem Witch Trials. It’s their first production in the new theatre and will feature matinee and evening dessert theatre performances February 4, 5 and 6. At their January 8th after school rehearsal, students were in costume for the first time. The new theatre arts program has to do with everything playrelated that is not acting, Robinson said. In theatre arts class, they do set design and production, sew costumes and learn about lighting and sound. A few things were being tweaked at the hands of director Robinson. The Proctor character’s pants, for example, threatened to fall off, which in a live performance, could be distracting. Acting is an extra-curricular activity. Students audition for roles and juggle rehearsal time with other extra-curricular pursuits when necessary. During football season last September and October, drama rehearsals were every morn-
dealing with peer pressure. They also connect because the play is part of Grade 12 high school curriculum. “There are a lot of battles happening inside people about whether to be truthful or whether it would be safer for them to just go along with the story,” said Robinson. The new theatre is having a broader effect in other schools in Martensville. “Elementary schools are changing their vision of drama, knowing kids will be attending the high school,” said Robinson. Drama is being given a higher profile in education and students are being groomed earlier to be part of a bigger program. “In a space like this, you can’t help but feel kind of like a professional actor,” said Robinson. “It makes you want to do better. When you’re on a stage off of a gym like we were before, that’s not the same vibe.” This is the collective effect of a quality facility – quality invites quality, and greater participation, an expanded program and increased interest in arts.

Students will present the play “The Crucible” in the new Martensville High School Theatre in February. The school’s new theatre arts program is evolving as the space allows for a greater vision. ing at 7:30. “There’s a lot of people in theatre arts that don’t act and have no interest in acting. They’re in there because they like building,
techy and other wonders. There’s smart lighting and a catwalk to access it. There is no further need of a huge ladder to get to lighting that’s at the top of the gymnasium, as in the previous scenario. There’s acoustic buffering, so the space doesn’t sound ‘like a tin can,’ or cavernous, as a gym often does. What is spoken on stage can be heard at the back. The space allows for different configurations of seating, with rows or round tables. Robinson said students connect with “The Crucible” in various ways. Some actors are playing a role of someone their own age

they like art, they like to work in theatre,” said Robinson. “Having said that I’d say half of the theatre arts students are actors and most of them are cast in this play.” The theatre boasts some

Warman traffic study recommends changes to speed limits, school zones changes to speed limits and school zones, and also traffic signals. “But it’s important to remember that these are recommendations. It is up to council to examine all these recommendations and make
decisions on each one. If there are changes they will be gradual. They certainly won’t happen overnight.” Philipchuk said the city council’s objective is to “provide the best transportation network possible.”
He noted the city has budgeted for some upgrades in the current year, but noted it will be an ongoing process that will extend over man years. “This is especially the case with respect to upgrades to Range Road 3051,” he said. “The pace of development will dictate the improvements that are made and when they happen.” Warman Planning Manager Brad Toth said after city council endorses the study, “the next step will be for administration internally to come up with a plan on implementation. “Part of that implementation plan will be to consult with people who may be directly affected by some of the changes that are proposed.” Toth said the study really marks “the beginning” rather than the end of the process. “We’ll monitor things and update the plan every five years or so, he said.

Police investigate violent home invasion incident Saskatoon Police are investigat-
ing a home invasion which sent a 27 year old man to hospital on the weekend. At approximately 5:45 a.m., January 16, 2016, police were called to an apartment in the 2600 block of Broadway Avenue. The 27-year-old male resident reported that four unknown males had forced their way into his apartment and demanded cash and drugs. They assaulted the victim, who suffered minor stab
wounds. The suspects searched the home before fleeing. The victim was transported to hospital by MD Ambulance for treatment. The suspects are described as First Nations males in their late teens or early 20s. They are believed to have been driving a silver or grey Dodge minivan. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Saskatoon Police Service at 306-975-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Zacharias to visit Ottawa “There’s all kinds of connections to grandpa and grandma that will be neat to see in the mural.” In decades past, students participating in the Encounters with Canada program brought pins for trading. Pins will be collected throughout 2016 and the mural promises to be ‘stupendous.’
Cole will be heading to Ottawa in early March. He’s chosen to go in his Grade 10 year, partly because his current semester is a little more relaxed. “It shouldn’t be too big of a deal to miss school for a week,” he said. Cole looks forward to the new experiences ahead. “Actually experiencing the people, experiencing parlia-
ment, learning about the arts and culture, will be great,” he said. “I’m excited for him,” said Christy. “He’s going to have the time of his life.” She’s seen a range of positive tweets from those who have gone. “I know it will be meaningful for him so it will be easy to let him go.”
