Joint-use schools on track, on budget By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Eighteen new joint-use elementary schools being built in Martensville, Warman, Saskatoon and Regina are on budget and on schedule. That’s good news, according to provincial Education Minister Don Morgan. “The schools will welcome 11,000 students into their classrooms, and an additional 860 children into the early childhood education facilities that are part of all these projects,” said Morgan during the unveiling of the schools’ designs at Lakeridge School in Saskatoon on Monday, February 22. “These designs reflect the needs and wishes of the communities they serve.” Each school design is unique; however, the new joint-use elementary schools in Martensville and Warman slated to open in the fall of 2017 will be “mirror images” of each other. The two schools are designed to house about 650 students each on the public side and another 400 each on the Catholic side, according to Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) Facilities Planner Kerry Donst. They both share a large common gymnasium and two smaller gymnasiums in their central area, along with a large stage to accommodate the performing arts. The public school side will be a twostorey structure while the Catholic School side will be a single storey. Both will be able to accommodate portable classrooms if necessary. Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) Vice-Chair Sam Dyck said the biggest advantage of these new schools is

Prairie Spirit School Division( PSSD) Facilities Planner Kerry Donst, PSSD Board ViceChair Sam Dyck, PSSD Board members Bonnie Hope, Keith Wagner and Ken Crush at the unveiling of the designs for the new joint-use schools In Martensville and Warman that they are being built on a “proactive” basis. “In the past we’ve always had to scramble to accommodate students as enrolment numbers increase,” said Dyck. “This marks a big change because we know that enrolment is going up, and now we’ll be able to meet that demand when it’s needed.” Dyck said the new schools will take some of the pressure off existing schools. “Prairie Spirit appreciates that the new schools in Martensville and Warman are being built to address strong and sustained enrolment growth in our division,” he said. “We know that these schools are being designed to support student learning in many new ways and we eagerly await the opening of the new schools.” Students in Saskatoon are also excited about the new schools, according to Diane Boyko, Chair of the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools (GSCS) division, which also represents families in
Warman and Martensville. “It’s taken a lot of people a lot of hours of work to get to this point,” Boyko said. “The schools are really starting to take shape, and now that we have official drawings, I think people in those communities are starting to get excited about their new schools.” The school designs will be available on the Government of Saskatchewan website, along with the construction site webcams. Construction is on schedule at all nine sites with approximately six months of work now completed. At this point the contractors have invested 142,000 man-hours of labour into the projects, and have used 5.2 million pounds of steel. In the coming weeks the roofs as well as the interior and exterior walls are scheduled to be done. The schools are scheduled to be completed and ready for students by September 2017. The 18 schools are de-
signed to accommodate more than 11,000 students from Prekindergarten to Grade 8, which includes 5,700 students in Saskatoon, 2,100 students in Martensville and Warman, and 3,300 students in Regina. Each joint-use school will contain a 90-space childcare centre as well as community space. Joint-use schools are co-owned by the public and Catholic school divisions.

TRAGEDY ON THE HIGHWAY
Highway 16 collision west of Langham results in three fatalities
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
Langham and Dalmeny Fire Rescue crews and Warman RCMP officers at the scene of the collision on Highway 16 on Monday, February 22 Warman RCMP reported multiple fatalities, including a woman and two boys, following an early morning crash on Highway 16, six kilometers west of Langham on Monday, February 22. All three were declared dead at the scene of the crash by medical personnel. Five ambulances as well as STARS air ambulance responded to the collision,
which was reported at 6:55 a.m.. The collision involved a semi-trailer car-hauler unit and a half-ton truck. It happened in the westbound lanes of Highway 16 at the intersection with Range Road 3083. The semi ended up in the north ditch while the half-ton truck came to rest in the median between the lanes of the divided
highway. According to the RCMP, the lone 53-year-old male driver of the semi is from Martensville. He was transported to hospital with undetermined injuries. There were seven people in the pickup truck. The 32-year-old male driver of the pickup truck (from Regina), a 46-year-old male passenger (from Moose Jaw), a
five-year-old male passenger (from Langham) and an 11-year-old male passenger (from Langham) were transported to hospital in Saskatoon with undetermined injuries. Three passengers, including a 26-year-old female from Corman Park, a four-year-old male from Langham and a nine-yearold male from Langham
were declared deceased at the scene. No charges have been laid. Langham Fire Rescue and Dalmeny Fire Rescue emergency responders were required to use extrication equipment to free the crash victims from the wreckage. Corman Park Police also assisted at the scene. Westbound traffic on Highway 16 was rerouted
several kilometers south of the scene while RCMP collision reconstructionists worked through the morning and into the early afternoon to determine the cause of the crash. A fundraising campaign to help the mother of the boys killed and injured in the collision can be accessed online at “Gofundme for Amanda, Leland and Rylee.”
Langham lagoon gets conditional approval from Corman Park By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca The town of Langham has overcome an initial hurdle in its plans to construct a new lagoon. The Rural Municipality of Corman Park conditionally approved the town’s request for discretionary land use for the construction of a lagoon at their February 22 meeting. The town’s current lagoon is at capacity and development in the community has reportedly stalled while planning for a new facility remains in limbo. While the developer’s proposal for a lagoon with a
smaller imprint was met favourably, not all landowners concerns were alleviated. Discussion continued for an hour and a half. The town wanted to move forward, a group of residents wanted to defer, and the RM wanted more information from both. Councilor Joanne Janzen who represents the division said it was a case of what comes first, the chicken or the egg. Deferral would allow more time for discussion between the town and the residents and hopefully lead to a clearer outcome. But Town of Langham representatives sought the
go-ahead from the RM so they can plan with a clearer sense of direction. Their challenge is to present accurate cost projections without having a specific piece of land allocated and approved for discretionary use. “We can’t cost estimate a single pipe until we know where it’s going,” said Brendan Proctor, councilor for the town of Langham responsible for the water and sewer portfolio. Area residents sought consideration in several areas. Karen Archibald asked council to consider a possible delay that the upcoming provincial election could
pose. She asked for more time to consider a permanent solution. Current plans are to build a lagoon for population growth up to 3000. Archibald also suggested it would be better to wait and see if any federal infrastructure dollars could be directed toward this project. The conditions on the approval were a point of concern for Archibald as well. “I think the conditions are really interesting. I’m a bit nervous about how those conditions will be enforced. Conditions without any policing and without any ability to enforce are just words
on paper,” she said. Both Archibald and Michael Neufeld said the illustration on the map is not accurate, that it’s a two-dimensional map that doesn’t take slopes into account. Archibald thanked the RM, saying both planning director Rebecca Row and administrator Adam Tittemore have been “really excellent in bringing discussions forward.” When the motion was put to a vote, the decision whether to approve discretionary land use for the new Langham lagoon had two dissenters, Joanne Janzen and John Germs. Janzen felt
a deferral to allow further discussion would have been preferable. “I represent these affected ratepayers and felt these folks were not yet satisfied with this proposal for a liquid waste disposal facility,” she said. “I trust future progress can occur in creating a win/ win and that communication will continue. Communication to date has been laboured. We wish to see the town of Langham being able to expand and I wish to see these area ratepayers being able to take advantage for the five per quarter development option as well.”

Opinion CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2016 PG. 4
Saskatchewan Party is still in great shape After eight years in power, there is little doubt that there are growing questions about both the Saskatchewan Party government and the provincial economy it presides over. This is the reality of politics. The longer you are in, the more baggage you collect. And in Premier Brad Wall’s last term, we’ve seen that baggage collect in the form of big and sometimes highly questionable expenditures on the carbon capture and storage at Boundary Dam ($1.5 billion) the Regina by-pass ($1.9 billion) and now the Global Transportation Hub outside Regina where the NDP Opposition, media and others are demanding to know why government paid three and four times the assessed value of land. This latter issue coming to light a month before an election call is especially problematic for a government that’s had a relatively spotless record when it comes to scandals. Let us be clear that the GTH land deal is not a scandal yet, but it is now being investigated by Provincial Auditor Judy Ferguson, who

will surely look at how two political contributors to the Sask. Party managed to clear $6- and $5-million respectively on land that was under expropriation. Add this is to a weaker economy, deficits and growing debt and you are left with a climate that most any government doesn’t want to see as it goes to the polls. Well, it seems this would be bad for any government except Premier Brad Wall’s administration. According to a Feb. 11 preelection poll by Mainstreet Research conducted for Postmedia News, the Sask. Party still has nearly half the voter support. At the time of the telephone survey of 1,477 Saskatchewan residents, 49 per cent said they supported the Sask. Party compared with 28 would vote NDP. This isn’t quite as overwhelming as the 2011 elec-

tion results where the Sask. Party garnered 64.3 per cent of the popular vote compared with 32 per cent for the NDP. Nor is it as large as it was in other polls since the last vote where the Sask. Party hovered around the low 60-per-cent or high 50-percent range while the NDP hovered around the high 20-per-cent range. In fact, Mainstreet Research’s January poll showed the Sask. Party at 51 per cent among the 1,508 respondents surveyed compared with 24 per cent support for the NDP. Sure, many, many Sask. Party votes are wasted in rural seats where MLAs have won by 50 percentage points. But the fact of the matter is that the gap between the NDP and Sask. Party in January and February Mainstreet polls has only seen marginal changes. The 27-percentage point difference in January is still a health 21-percentage-point difference now; a mere six weeks before voters go the polls on April 4. As Quito Maggi, president and CEO of Mainstreet Research, put it: “There’s no undertones of desire for change
in Saskatchewan, at least not right now.” Maggi also noted that the Sask. Party was still high outside Saskatoon and Regina at 55 per cent. This is a remarkable number for a few of reasons. First, Saskatoon and Regina (where support for the Sask. party is still at 42and 41-per-cent respectively) are among the fastest growing cities in Canada, so one might think this would be where voters would be most appreciative of the government’s accomplishments. Second, that 55-per-centsupport number would include Moose Jaw, Prince Albert and the north where NDP support remains solid would offset the Sask. Party numbers. There is now a 40-year-old history of rural Saskatchewan voting for the right wing alternative; something that will again happen en mass on April 4 and most likely propel Saskatchewan to another majority. Sure, the NDP may pick up a few extra seats in the cities. But the Sask. Party is clearly still in the driver’s seat.

MOVIE TICKET? Your library card By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Martensville library branch librarian Marla Skomar said the Hoopla Digital service offers patrons a convenient alternative to DVD movies. “It’s a brand new option for all the branches of the Wheatland Regional system,” said Skomar. “The Saskatoon and Regina city library systems have had it for a while now, but it was introduced into the Wheatland system on Friday, February 12. “It’s like Netflix, except it’s free and you access it with your library card. It’s actually pretty cool, and I think it will be really popular once people catch on to it.” Skomar said the digital content is available through a variety of devices, including tablets and phones. “Once you set up the app, it’s pretty simple,” she said. “We can help our patrons get started.” Skomar said the downloadable content is available to patrons for up to three weeks, and there are no late fees or checkout times. Once the patron’s time period for the content expires, it simply becomes inaccessible. Patrons are also limited to five items per month through the site. “So once you reach the fiveitem limit, you have to wait till the beginning of the next month to get other items,” said Skomar. She said the new service is more convenient for people who want to watch new releases without having to wait for DVDs to arrive at their local branch.
Welcome to Hoopla’s huge digital library!
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
Martensville Librarian Marla Skomar provides some guidance to library patron Byron Duque on how to download Digital Hoopla content
ZINIO MAGAZINES
Skomar said another online service offered by the branch libraries is “Zinio”, which allows patrons to download digital copies of magazines. “Basically there are no restrictions on the umber of magazines you can download,” she said. “You simply log in using your li-
brary card PIN number. You can read them at your leisure, since you don’t have to worry about an expiry date. “They stay on your device until you delete them.” She said readers can also get an e-mail alert to notify them when a new issue of their favourite magazine is available online.
By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca If you ever imagined something like Netflix at the library, your wish has come true. Hoopla Digital has recently brought their services to the Wheatland Regional Library. “We are in over 4400 different physical locations and that includes over 970 different library systems in the U.S. and Canada,” said Jeff Jankowski, owner and founder of Hoopla Digital. As the world moves to more digital, portable and ‘on-demand’ content, library content needs to keep pace. “It’s a really an important extension for libraries to stay relevant to their community,” said Jankowski. A number of features make the Hoopla system attractive. For example, a single app handles delivery for all media types. “If you went to Amazon you would need an eBook reader and then a music player which is a different app and there’s a different one to read comic books,” said Jankowski. The Hoopla system is compatible with all four web browsers. You can go to hoopladigital.com with your library card, create a login, and stream and borrow content directly. If you download the app from Android or Apple, once you register, it will recognize your username and password and you will be able to download content directly onto your mobile device, your phone or tablet, for offline consumption. Hoopla Digital does away with library fines and waiting lists. A list of 500,000 titles is constantly changing, growing and evolving, and available to all users 24/7. Traditional digital libraries typically operate on a one-user-per-copy system. With Hoopla, after the loan period is over, the content will automatically be taken from your device. The service offers a consumer-like experience. Seventy per cent of Billboard-list is available, including the new Cold Play album. Over 25,000 audio books such as ‘The Revenant’ are available. Plenty of educational, entertainment and documentary type content is available on video. “There’s also award-winning films and a lot of children’s and family content like Disney movies as well as independent cinema,” said Jankowski. There are relevant recent films as well as older back-list titles as well. Hoopla is proud of their comic and graphic novel offerings. It’s the first app in a public library that stays true to the comic book experience, moving through panel by panel with captions and graphics. “It’s all about the content and the experience.”
Warman wildland fire truck sets a higher standard
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A custom-designed wildland firefighting truck gives Warman Fire Rescue (WFR) personnel a leg up on the coming grassfire season. The $202,000 off-road vehicle is the latest addition to the WFR fleet, which also includes a new compressed air foam system (CAFS) pumper truck that was delivered last summer and a new ladder truck slated to arrive later this spring. Once the ladder truck is in operation, the city should have enough capacity for the next 20 years, according to Warman
City Manager Stan Westby. “That’s an important consideration when it comes to fire insurance rates for our residents,” said Westby. The new wildland truck is equipped with a 400-gallon water tank and two 200-foot fire hoses located on each side of the vehicle. The hoses can be hooked into a swivel apparatus that allows firefighters to spray a water and foam mixture onto fires while the vehicle is moving. It also has spray nozzles strategically built into its undercarriage that will allow the truck to
actually drive through a wall of fire in the event it is unexpectedly hemmed in while fighting a blaze. The truck was custom-built by Acres Industries of Manitoba using a Ford F-350 chassis and is the first Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved wildland firefighting vehicle in Canada. It will be used primarily to battle grassfires in the RM of Corman Park. Last year, a major grassfire in a marshy area west of Warman proved difficult for vehicles to access and posed a serious threat to a residential neighbourhood. This truck is designed to handle that
added additional safety and functional features.” Austin said he finally convinced Acres Industries to tackle the project because the company has consistently built top-quality vehicles for WFR in the past. He noted that the company is currently working on orders for five new trucks based on the WFR design. The fire department in Craik, Saskatchewan, will be using a similar vehicle as their front-line pumper truck, he added. CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

type of terrain. Warman Fire Chief Russ Austin said the truck’s specifications were deliberately set very high when WFR members designed it from the ground up. Only one manufacturer in North America was able to meet those specs, he said, adding that Acres Industries stepped up to the plate after some initial reluctance. “This truck has been in the works for a while,” said Austin. “It’s the first of its kind in Canada.

Hello from Mayor and Council,
Recreation and Culture Committee Report
The winter season weather continues to be mild which has allowed many in our community to participate in some of the wonderful outdoor activities that Warman has to offer. Whether it be cross country skiing, skating on one of the outdoor rinks or visiting the Warman Off-Leash Dog Park, it seems this year has been a great year to stay active during our long winter season. The great weather also stayed for the Family Day holiday this year. It’s hard to believe it was only a short time ago that the discussions of a holiday in February seemed to be quite controversial. Now nine years later, this holiday provides for an extended weekend to enjoy time with family. In Warman, the Recreation team hosted Winterfest on this year’s Family Day holiday. The event included various activities, from face painting, to laser tag and cross country ski demonstrations. It was a great day for residents to enjoy both outdoor and indoor activities and enjoy time with their families. I want to extend a big thank you to all of the members of the Recreation team for all their hard work to create such a fantastic event for our community – I can’t wait for next year!
Warman City Council believes the opportunity to choose an activity; whether it is an individual based activity or with the whole family, is important to creating a healthy, active lifestyle. The residents and the community benefit by being able to access quality outdoor recreational opportunities.
Last fall it was announced that Warman would be losing several of the doctors that we have had the pleasure of visiting over the years. In response to this and out of the need to create a tangible solution to the problem, the Warman Chamber of Commerce, after discussion with their membership, reached out to the City of Warman to collaborate in engaging the necessary stakeholders to form a committee that could ensure that the residents of Warman have access to a full range of health care services including doctors. The Committee, which is currently in its initial stages, includes stakeholders from around the community, including representatives from the Warman Chamber of Commerce, the City of Warman, members of the local healthcare community and members in advisory positions from SaskDocs and Saskatoon Health Region. The mission of the committee is to foster recruitment and retention of physicians to the city of Warman through an effective program or programs utilizing a mix of strategies and produce measureable outcomes with the ultimate goal of continuing to offer a happy and healthy community with access to sustainable, local health care services. The committee intends to provide regular updates where possible, on their ongoing efforts to help positively shape healthcare services in Warman. Respectfully submitted, Mayor Sheryl Spence
The provision of outdoor recreational opportunities is not necessarily done with the development of a facility, but can be as easy as purchasing equipment. An opportunity that is more enjoyable or easier to access creates a better experience that brings the participant back again. The City of Warman did just that in 2014, as a rear mount Zamboni was purchased to create better ice conditions for our outdoor skating areas and then again last year as a Cross Country Ski Groomer was purchased to create both classic and skating trails at the Legends Golf Course. Continual maintenance is also important to keep existing outdoor facilities safe and enjoyable. In 2014 the City addressed failing play surfaces at both the Tennis Courts and Spray Park. Both these facilities were faced with asphalt surfaces that were cracking and heaving. The Tennis Courts received a new layer of asphalt and the addition of Pickle Ball Courts when the new lines were being painted and the Spray Park received a poured rubber base.
growth, to enable economic prosperity for everyone, and support the quality of life that we enjoy. This has reinforced the need for a more coordinated approach to regional planning and servicing. To this end, the Saskatoon North P4G partnering municipalities identify that a long term view and a plan for land use and servicing with broad regional stakeholder support, is integral to produce successful outcomes and benefits for all. Population and economic growth translates into demand for land: • land for housing; • land for community services; • land for infrastructure; • land for commercial and industrial development; • attraction of industrial sectors, including mining, energy, and agriculture producers. With regional cooperation we can achieve economic prosperity, growth and quality of life through the efforts to contain urban sprawl, maximize value, attract investment and preserve key environmental assets. For more information visit the Partnership for Growth website: www.partnershipforgrowth.ca Respectfully submitted, Councilor Richard Beck Planning and Development Committee Chair
Sometimes to create opportunities there is no other way than to construct new facilities. In 2015 the Skate Park was constructed in Prairie Oasis Park. This facility provides a creative outlet for all riders young and old. Prior to that, the Off Leash Dog Park was constructed to provide a safe place for our four legged friends to run and play while their owners can socialize and get out for a walk as well. It is very important that we have these types of opportunities within our community. Our residents can stay healthy with a wide range of options to choose from with the flexibility to participate at various hours of the day. In providing these great outdoor activities, we have created these opportunities for our residents to choose how they will create a healthy, active lifestyle.
As always, do not hesitate to call your Mayor or Council if you have questions, suggestions or just want to chat. We always welcome conversation with the residents of this great city. From all of us on Warman City Council
Respectfully submitted, Councilor Zane Dmytryshyn, Recreation and Culture Committee Chair Planning and Development Committee Report The Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) unites stakeholders from Warman, Martensville, Osler, Saskatoon and the Rural Municipality (RM) of Corman Park to create a framework towards regional growth.

RAising awareness of sids
Due to the lack of snow and unsafe riding conditions the 2nd Annual Snowmobile rally originally scheduled for January 16 was switched to a family supper and dance at the Brian King Centre in Warman on Saturday, February 20. The SIDS Awareness Snowmobile Rally is an event that was started to help raise awareness and knowledge about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC). These syndromes result in an estimated 150 unexplained child deaths in Canada each year. All proceeds raised during the events goes to Baby’s Breath Canada for SIDS and SUDC research.

Rush rally clips Hawks’ wings By WAYNE SHIELS essenceofsask@gmail.com The Saskatchewan Rush earned their third straight home win with an exciting 11-8 victory over the Rochester Knighthawks before a crowd of more than 11,000 at Sasktel Centre on Friday, February 19. Although the Knighthawks scored first, the Rush responded with seven unanswered goals in the first quarter to take a 7-1 lead. Rochester battled part way back to cut the lead to 9-4 at half time. They held the Rush scoreless in the third quarter and inched closer, making the score 9-6. The Knighthawks battled to a 10-8 score but could get no closer as a smothering Rush defence ran the clock down. The Rush then got extra insurance on a unique goal. Rochester had pulled goalie Matt Vinc for an extra-attacker but when Saskatchewan recovered the ball, the Rochester goalie was too quick getting back on the floor and his team was called for too many men. Because the goaltender was the culprit on the infraction, it resulted in an automatic goal for the Rush; sealing a 11-8 victory. Mark Matthews, Ben McIntosh, Zack Greer, and Chris Corbeil each scored two goals for the Rush. Corbeil had scored his third shorthanded goal of the year earlier in the game and was credited with the unusual too many men goal. Also scoring for the Rush were Jeff Cornwall, Robert Church and Curtis Knight. Coach Derek Keenan was pleased with his team’s effort. The quick start was a real positive and he was not surprised that Rochester battled back. “It turned out to be a grinder of a game, which is
typical as they are a veteran team with a good defence,” he said. “I thought our defence was outstanding and had key stops at key times.” Kyle Rubisch had a dominant game, creating turnovers, scooping up loose balls, and moving the ball up the floor; showing why he is the four-time reigning NLL Defensive Player of the Year (2012-2015) and has been named to four straight NLL All-Pro First Teams (2012-2015). Rubisch talked about when you play good teams like the Knighthawks you need to be at your best because every shift is a battle. “We know they are a good team with so much skill on offense and we knew we were going to have to bring our best effort,” he said. “Everyone on the back end dialed in and played great as a unit.” The game also featured two of the best goalies in the league. Rochester’s Matt Vinc was the NLL’s Goaltender of the Year in 2015, winning the award for the third straight season and recordsetting fifth time in the past six years. Bold had the best season of his career in 2015 and finished in the runnerup spot for the league honour. The pair put on a clinic as Vinc made 47 saves and Bold made 29 saves, including many in the fourth quarter as the Knighthawks mounted a comeback. On the large and enthusiastic crowd, Coach Keenan commented: “Our players appreciate it a lot. Hopefully it will continue to grow. We have something special here.” The Rush will look to keep their home winning streak alive when they host the Buffalo Bandits on Friday, February 26. A western theme”Country Night Lights” is planned.

Royals overwhelm Ramblers in playoffs By MACKENZIE HEINTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Hague Senior Royals earned a 7-2 home victory over the Tisdale Ramblers during game one in the first round of the Fort Carlton Hockey League playoffs on February 17. Hague came out on all cylinders in the opening period and outshot the Ramblers 6-0 in the first five minutes. They continued to put pressure on Tisdale’s defence and the goaltender, which led to the first goal of the game, scored by Vincent Jonasson. The Royals added to their lead later in the period to go up 2-0. Calder Neufeld got
behind the Tisdale defence and Tisdale goaltender Jay Hudon made the initial save, but Neufeld collected his own rebound and scored on the second chance opportunity. The score remained the same until the end of the period as the Royals outshot the Ramblers 15-10 in the period. Hague extended their lead by a wide margin in the middle frame by scoring five straight goals; the first two by Calder Neufeld with assists from Shay Neufeld. The momentum continued to go the Royals way in the first half of the period when Ty Currie lit the
lamp. Shortly after the Currie goal, Nathan McNaught received a nice drop pass from Calder Neufeld and he fired a shot, which gave the Royals a 6-0 lead. Later in the period, Shay Neufeld netted one and that gave him a hat trick in the game. Even though Tisdale allowed five goals in the period the shots were even at 9-9. Minutes into the final period, the Ramblers spoiled Hague’s shutout and got on the scoreboard. Bo Lenard scored the goal. Just past the halfway point of the period, Kody Dzurka scored Tisdale’s second goal of the game. The
{
Ramblers didn’t score for the rest of the period as the Royals went on to win the game. Game two of the best of three series was played February 18 in Tisdale and saw the Royals win by a 11-2 margin to sweep the series. The Royals led 3-0 after the first, 4-2 after the second and added seven unanswered goals in the third. Calder Neufeld, Shay Neufeld and Cody Folstad all notched hat tricks for the Royals while Jesse Mireau and Adam Schwark added one goal each. Steven Toporowski and Travis Janke added the Tisdale goals.

Carter Borsa and Nick McMorrow of the Warman Wildcats break in on Star City Blues’ goaltender Ryden Gagne during a game in Warman on Saturday, March 20. The Wildcats won the game 12-1 and now await their next opponent.
Wildcats advance to north final series By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgaqzette.ca After beating the Star City Blues by a single goal in the first game of their provincial Pee Wee A provincial series, the Warman Wildcats only needed a tie in Game Two to move on to the next round. Instead, they handed the Blues a 12-1 spanking; and set themselves up for a wideopen series against the winner of the Martensville-Battleford series, set to begin this week. The Wildcats provincial team is made up of the top players from the two pee wee teams in the community, and they seem to be peaking at the right time,
according to head coach Bevin Guenther. “This was a great team win,” said Guenther in an interview after the game on Saturday, March 20 in Warman. “When we went through the evaluation process to decide which players would make the team, this is the way I envisioned them playing together.” Guenther said the coaching staff were confident the team was strong defensively, but weren’t as sure about scoring punch. “But with 12 goals in this game, I guess that shows they can score, too,” said Guenther. Warman’s Keenan Mann
collected a hat trick, while Josh Krienke and Carer Borsa each had a pair of goals and Ben Neudorf, Chantze Pauls, Ethan Campbell, Josh Doucette and Sylas Guenther contributed singles. Warman goaltender Dryden Smith had a strong shutout bid going until Justin Leach scored the Blues’ only goal late in the third period. The Wildcats dominated the game from start to finish, earning a 3-0 lead by the end of the first frame. They added four more unasnwered goals in the second to make it 7-0 and bent the twine five times in the final period.
Guenther gave credit to Star City for battling to the end. “It’s not an easy thing to do, to put together a provincial Pee Wee A team to contend for a championship,” said Guenther. “I understand they had to draw a lot of kids in from a lot of small communities to make up their team.” But he’s happy to have his squad move on to the next round, and feels they’re ready for either Martensville or Battleford. “Hockey is a team sport,” said Guenther. “My message to the kids every day is ‘work hard, get better, distribute the puck around, and have fun.”

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2016
Old-fashioned horsepower gets trotted out at cutter rally By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca It started out as a fundraiser, but now it’s all about having fun. Horse-drawn cutter rigs, some from as far away as Prince Albert and Blaine Lake, converged at an acreage just west of Martensville on Saturday, February 20. This is the ninth year that 85-year-old John Ens and 81-year-old Shirley Skolnik have hosted the event. It began as a way of raising money to help students at the local high school travel club. But over the years, it developed a momentum of its own and now it’s an annual tradition. “We do it for fun,” said Skolnik in an interview the day before the event. “It brings back a lot of memories for those of us who grew up using this kind of transportation every day. We enjoy horses and we enjoy the company of good friends and neighbours.” About a dozen cutters, sleighs, wagon, and riders followed a two-kilometer trail laid out by John Ens on the land he’s farmed for the past 53 years. The cutters ranged from home-made one-of-a-kind designs to a vintage centuryold models manufactured at a shop in Bruce, Alberta.

Town of Dundurn
NOTICE OF CALL FOR NOMINATIONS Public Notice is hereby given that nomination of candidates for the office of:
MAYOR COUNCILLOR (1 Seat)
Will be received by the undersigned during regular business hours Monday to Friday from:
rience that way as a kid. “I drove the cutter to school starting at age six,” she said. “My older sister didn’t like horses, so it was my job to drive. We’d get to school and put the horse in the barn until it was time to go home again. My dad hired one of the older boys to hook up the horse for me because I was too little.” She said there were times
when the weather was bad that they relied on the horse to get them home. “There were some terrible storms,” she said. “We almost had to let the horse go. Well, actually, we did let the horse go, because it was impossible to see the trail and the horse knew the way.” Skolnik said planning for next year’s event is already underway.
February 1, 2016 to March 22, 2016 (9 - 12 pm & 1 - 5 pm), and March 23, 2016 (9 -12 pm & 1- 4 pm) at the Dundurn Town Office, 300 Third Avenue, Dundurn, Saskatchewan. Nomination forms may be obtained at the Dundurn Town Office. (If you would like a form emailed please contact - town.dundurn@sasktel.net) (A Criminal Record Check must be submitted with all completed Nomination forms as per Bylaw 2012-06) Dated this 29th day of January, 2016.

Prairie Spirit celebrates 10 years By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca In the ten years since Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) was created, student enrolment has increased by more than 1,700 students. That’s one of the biggest increases of any school division in the province, according to Sam Dyck, Vice-Chair of the PSSD Board of Education. Speaking at a tenth anniversary celebration at the PSSD office in Warman on Monday, February 22, Dyck said the school division has always put the needs of students at the top of its priorities. Despite the squeeze on finances division-wide, he noted, students from PSSD consistently rank near the top in terms of graduation rates and academic achievements. Provincial Education Minister Don Morgan said the amalgamation of school divisions a decade ago was a positive move. He noted that PSSD’s enrolment growth is similar to that experienced in the province’s two major cities, but because of distances and the mix of large and small schools, the challenges of growth have been more difficult for PSSD. Morgan said the slowdown in the provincial economy has allowed construction of P3 joint-use elementary schools to be built at a healthy pace. Both Warman

New Pilot Program Allows Residents to View Personal Health Care Information Online
A new program – the Citizen Health Information Portal (CHIP) Pilot – is allowing a group of residents from across the province to view their personal health information online through a secure website. CHIP is the first comprehensive electronic system of its kind in Canada that puts patients first. Participants can view their personal lab results, immunization history, pharmacy and hospital visit history from anywhere in the world. They can add medical information to their personal profiles, view their children’s health care information and invite their doctor or care provider to view their profile. Our government is excited to launch a new program that empowers people to take a more active role in their own health care. Participants will be asked to provide feedback which will help to guide future decisions about additions or changes to online health information and other health programs.
Agriculture Trade Mission to India
Saskatchewan is Canada’s top exporter to India. This past year, Saskatchewan exports to India totalled more than $1.8 billion with lentils, peas and potash leading the way. 2015 also marked a record-breaking year as agriculture exports to India exceeded $1 billion for the first time. It is important for us to build on this growth and find new opportunities with one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. This week’s trade mission to India will help Saskatchewan solidify its trade relationship for established products and allow for conversations about future imports. Face-to-face meetings help us to better understand India’s needs, identify new areas for collaboration and trade, and discuss any barriers.
SGI Customers Can Now Print Their Own Vehicle Registration
SGI is enhancing convenience for customers with changes to vehicle registration certificates. Certificates can now be printed on plain white paper rather than special green card stock paper, saving SGI an estimated $120,000 annually in paper costs and up to $400,000 annually in postage costs. Customers who register a vehicle using SGI’s online service MySGI will no longer have to wait for their certificate in the mail – they can print it at home. Any customer with a MySGI account can also access their registration certificate online, and print it off any time, even if they didn’t renew online. As a deterrent against potential criminal activity, a customer’s address will no longer be printed on vehicle registration certificates. You can visit SGI’s website at www.sgi.sk.ca for more information on vehicle registration requirements or the MySGI online service.

Warman sisters perfect Ukrainian dance routine for Telemiracle By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca On March 6, Alexyn and Bianca Stokalko will step into their red dance shoes and whirl across the stage at Telemiracle. The traditional dance they’ll be performing originates in central Ukraine and is known for its beauty and grace. Both Alexyn and Bianca have perfected their dance skills through years of experience. In 2015, they were named “Most Outstanding Female Duet” at the Svoboda Dance Festival in North Battleford. Alexyn is 14 and has been polishing her Ukrainian dance for the past seven years, Prior to that she did four years of ballet and tap with the Warman ballet club. Seven-year-old Bianca is in her fifth year of Ukrainian dance. “Telemiracle will be a really great experience for us to not only perform on a big stage in front of lots of people and be on TV, but actually do something for other people using something we both really enjoy,” said Alexyn. The dance is steeped in culture and draws from rich Ukrainian traditions. It expresses ballet-like fluidity and fluttery movements. For this duet, the girls bought their own costumes. “It is the first time we actually bought our own costumes from the Ukraine that our family owns,” said Alexyn. Brenda, the girls’ Mom, said years ago they took the girls to see Telemiracle and Alexyn was ‘wow-ed.’ She saw a large Ukrainian dance group from Yorkton rehearsing. “She said, ‘oh, some day I want to do that’,” said Brenda. This duet was also a way to stretch Bianca and help her expand her skills. Alexyn teaches the little ones and said Bianca was bored in class and needed to be challenged. That approach paid off. At the competition in North Battleford, Bianca was praised for her pointy toes. “The adjudicator told the audience that one dancer was excellent at pointing her toes,” said Brenda. “As he came up to the girls, he said, ‘now which one of you did? Surprisingly, it was Bianca that showed great point. I am sure she grew two feet taller after being told that.
“We all chuckled as it was Alexyn in practice who kept telling Bianca to point her toes. I guess Alexyn was more focused on making sure her little sister was doing it right and forgot to emphasize it herself!”
Brenda and her husband Mark recently decided to take up Ukrainian dance. Brenda is the vice president of Sonia’s School of Ukrainian Dance which has introduced classes for adults. The Stokalko girls were
filmed for a CTV documentary following their Telemiracle JW021516audition James last
November. They are still waiting to hear when their segment will be aired.
The girls perform at 1:30 p.m. March 6 at the Conexus Centre in Regina.

Drivers able to walk away from Highway 12 crash By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The drivers of two vehicles involved in a collision at the intersection of Highways 12 and 305 on Wednesday, February 17 were both able to walk away from the wrecks. “They were both very lucky,” said Warman RCMP Constable Peters, one of the officers at the scene of the crash, which occurred at about 5:00 p.m. “It could have been a lot worse.” According to Peters, a white Dodge Dart sedan that was westbound on Highway 35 attempted to cross Highway 12 and struck the rear end of a southbound grey Hyundai sedan.
The Dodge sedan left the road and skidded into the southwest ditch where it came to rest between two power poles. The female driver of the Dodge was able to exit her vehicle and was attended to at the scene by Martensvile Fire Rescue first responders and MD Ambulance paramedics. The Hyundai ended up sideways blocking the southbound lane of Highway 12 a short distance south of the intersection. The female driver of the Hyundai was also treated on the scene by emergency personnel. Peters said the driver of the Dodge is facing a charge of proceeding into traffic be-
fore it was safe to do so. He noted that the Dodge narrowly missed t-boning the Hyundai. “In this case there wasn’t a significant amount of damage to the passenger compartment,” said Peters. “Everyone was able to walk away from this one.” Martensville Fire Rescue personnel noted the driver of the Dodge was also lucky that her vehicle didn’t hit either of the power poles in the ditch. The roads at the time of the crash were dry and visibility was good. The collision was one of several on area highways in the last month. A separate crash on Highway 16 on February 22 killed three people.

Wildland fire truck sets high standard The truck is equipped with two large high-efficiency LED floodlights that “light up the immediate area as bright as day,” said Austin. The truck was delivered to Warman on Wednesday, February 17.
With a lower-than-normal snowpack in the region, the new vehicle will be ready to tackle any grassfires that break out in the coming weeks, said Austin. “The Alberta government actually declared the start of their forest fire season to-
day,” he added. “That’s two months ahead of schedule because of the lack of snow cover. Our situation is very similar in a lot of respects. “With this truck, we’ll be ready for whatever comes our way.”

2,000 dresses destined for Zambia orphanage
By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Two thousand young girls at an orphanage in the heart of Africa will soon be able to expand their wardrobe. Each will receive a dress sewn by local groups. The Dalmeny Seniors Club sewed one hundred of these dresses. Many of them were on display at the club’s Valentine’s dinner on February 9 at the Senior Centre. The group had been approached by the Grasswoods Quilters a couple of weeks prior to help with the project. “We had heard from a group from Saskatoon that they had promised 2000 dresses to send to an orphanage in Zambia. So we said we could go in to help them,” said Rosella Buhr, president of the Dalmeny Seniors Club. Buhr said about 10 ladies from the club have been doing the sewing. One member has sewn 27 dresses but Buhr said she herself hasn’t done too many. That’s because she’s been cutting a lot of the kits for the dresses. The visuals created by the dresses at dinner provided a sense of accomplishment and made the project real. The ladies have almost reached their goal of 100 dresses. The evening also raised funds to buy underwear for the girls. “If they sent just the dresses, the girls have nothing to wear underneath them. So we’re going to put a pair of panties in every dress pocket,” said Buhr. She added that the boys get donations for sports shorts or comparable items but the girls very seldom get any. Buhr takes on multiple roles for the club. For the Valentine’s dinner, she cooked the chicken and rice and gathered the ingredients for the salad, for 120
people. The club meets once a month and attendance averages at around 80. Attendance was higher on this night because the Back Forty Band was playing. These young guys enjoyed dinner and brought down the age demographic. Doors
“But they could get away for a few hours on a Thursday morning to come and do this and they really enjoy it,” said Buhr. The dresses were requested by a Gideon missionary and will make their way to Zambia in spring.

One of the vocalists was close to a dead-ringer of Johnny Cash, and launched into tunes like, “I Fell Into a Burning Ring of Fire,” and “I Walk the Line.” At the end of the night, Buhr had a special presentation for all the single ladies. They were asked to stand and each received a red rose, which Buhr pulled from some bouquets. The suggestion to married ladies was to look at the guy beside you and tell him you need a rose, she laughed. The Dalmeny Seniors Club has at least one major project each year where they support organizations like the Salvation Army (Christmas 2015), The Lighthouse or The Bridge. Sewing dresses was a new project for them to take on. Buhr said it brought out some girls who might not be able to come to anything else, perhaps because their husbands are ill.
“It’s just a good feeling to be able to help some little girls somewhere that have nothing,” said Buhr. “It’s a neat project that we could do.”
