portunity is very important for the students and he’s grateful that they were able to work with the army to get a program like this at the school.

“This reserve is not completely isolated but it’s isolated enough where you’re not going to have this (program) if the army weren’t willing to come here and offer it. So we give a big thanks to the army for being the driving force and to people from our community, here at Beardy’s, to partner with the army to do this,” O’Soup said.

Now the students will be training with the army until June as it’s a course in semester two at CRCEC. “Every afternoon that they’re in school, they’ll actually get on a bus here (at Beardy’s) to go to Saskatoon,” Engelberts said.

“And then they’ll get off of the bus and do their basic military training in the armoury in Saskatoon.”

Students in grade 10 to 12 can only be involved with the programs as O’Soup said they have to have a certain amount of credits to enrol in the program.

Also, since the co-op initiative was open to youth in the reserve, students from Stobart Community School, in Duck Lake, were also sworn in at the ceremony.

“The initial planning came from our school but we extended it to them (Stobart) because it’s for the kids of the community,” O’Soup said.

“It’s the first of its kind in Canada where the mili-

This program is an unique opportunity and O’Soup hopes the students take full advantage of it.

“We’re really hoping that this is a long term thing as well. This is the first year ... and hopefully things can continue down the road,” he said.

Engelberts also added that once the students have completed the course they don’t have to continue to work with the the army.

Beardy’s partners with Canadian Military

By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca Several students from the Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nations (BOFN) Reserve are now a part of the Canadian Military’s Basic Military Qualification (BMQ) Co-op Program after a swearing-in ceremony on Monday, January 30 at the Constable Robin Cameron Education Complex (CRCEC).

There were members of the military as well as BOFN council members at the ceremony in support of the students as it’s an important step in their education and future.

This is the first time that the Canadian military has partnered with a school within a First Nations comunnity.

The program allows the students to work with the military as well as earn high school credits.

“We partner with schools, so that youth in school can get high school credits for military training,” said Lt.Col. Tony Engelberts of the North Saskatchewan Regiment. “And it’s combined with a social science credit, that’s also given out by the school board. So they get two high school credits and a pay cheque for working with the military and finishing their school.”

The initiative is also being supported by the 38 Canadian Brigade Group and the 3rd Canadian Division as both are formations of the Canadian Army.

This is the first time that the BMQ co-op program has partnered with a community in north-central Saskatchewan and Engelberts want to bring the program into other schools and communities.

“We want to expand it and because of the time and space requirements we have to limit it to communities that are close to Saskatoon or Prince Albert. But we’ll be looking to reach out to some other communities to make this a larger project,” Engelberts said.

Report from the

Legislature

Nancy Heppner MLA

MARTENSVILLE-WARMAN CONSTITUENCY

Federal Carbon Tax Plan Threatens Saskatchewan Economy

Saskatchewan’s manufacturing sales are leading the nation. Despite ongoing world commodity price challenges, this sector and our economy is showing signs of strength.

According to Statistics Canada, manufacturing sales were $1.2 billion in November, up 12.2% (seasonally adjusted) over last year, and nearly six times the national average.

The challenges we have faced with lower resource prices has had an impact on the labour market and other sectors, but forecasts and other signs show our economy will rebound this year.

We need to maintain our competitive advantage in Saskatchewan.

Right now, our competitiveness is being threatened by the Prime Minister’s insistence on imposing an ill-conceived national carbon tax plan on the province of Saskatchewan.

We need to protect the people and sectors that are being targeted by the carbon tax.

Twelve organizations representing thousands of Saskatchewan farmers, small businesses and employees have united against the federal government’s plan to force a carbon tax on our province.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, they express concern that his carbon tax plan will hurt our economy and put the incomes and livelihoods of Saskatchewan families at stake.

They’re right – and we stand with them in fighting this tax on our people and economy.

In a recent vote in the Legislature, the NDP refused to support our government’s position, proving how badly out of touch they are with the vast majority of Saskatchewan people.

Like their Alberta counterparts, the Saskatchewan NDP support a carbon tax.

They support a new tax that will impact your household budget and make our agriculture, mining and energy sectors less competitive globally while doing nothing to reduce global emissions.

When asked about this, the Prime Minister says that all of the carbon tax cash his government collects will be returned to the provinces and could simply be given back to those who paid it.

So, what is the point of this bureaucratic merry-goround? Good question.

The Prime Minister says that it’s up to Saskatchewan to determine how best to help the businesses and families hurt by his new tax – and we’ve already figured that out.

Don’t impose a carbon tax in the first place.

Make no mistake, Saskatchewan wants to contribute to this country economically and in every way, including the fight against climate change, but we will defend our interests.

Saskatchewan’s White Paper on Climate Change outlines an alternative approach to the Prime Minister’s national carbon tax plan.

Wonders of water

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2017 PG. 3

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Water looked like an ideal theme when Ramona Swift-Thiessen was pondering what to paint for a show at the Station Arts Centre in Rosthern. Her “Wonders of Water” show is on exhibit at the venue for most of February. Her work beautifully illustrates the versatility of the theme, from waterfalls, to water droplets, ponds, snow and more.

When Swift-Thiessen first stepped into the Station Arts Centre a couple of years ago she felt like she had come home. “I think I found my people!” she said. “Mom and I came to a show and my jaw dropped. I didn’t know this place existed. It made me think of the Okanagan and it made me very excited. It seems like a jewel in Saskatchewan.”

Swift-Thiessen knew immediately she wanted to do a show there, but found out there was a two-year waiting list to get in, time enough to complete the required 15 to 20 pieces, hopefully. She has been drawing since she was a child, but it wasn’t until 2000 that she went public with her art. Before that it worked well as gifts to relatives. She started selling her work at her first show in 2006.

The passion for painting has only grown in the last decade. “There is so much anticipation each time I get a commission or a big idea that I want to implement,” said SwiftThiessen. “It’s always fun in the beginning, hard slugging in the middle and then excitement as I near the end when the varnish goes on and the deal is sealed!”

The largest commission she has received to date was for a large piece worth $21,000.

It came at a good time – right before Christmas and right around the time she had just moved to Dalmeny and her husband at the time said he wanted to leave. “I was waiting tables in Dalmeny. I so needed that job!” she said. The piece was 11 feet by 9 feet, and Swift-Thiessen did some trade-offs for a quilt and a B & B stay with friends, to get the price down a bit.

Swift-Thiessen has since remarried and moved to a 40-acre ranch just outside Waldheim that accommodates a small herd of highland cattle. She and husband Cary plan to begin renovating the house on the property this year, and build her a separate 24 by 24 foot studio.

“I have to squish into a small room for a while,” she said. The hope is all the paintings from the show will be sold and she can send them to people all over the country, because she’ll have scant room for storage.

Then again, Swift-Thiessen will likely be doing a show for a gallery in Grande Prairie this summer, and some may end up there.

The idea of teaching painting never appealed to Swift-Thiessen until recently. “You

Youth make life pact

Suicide prevention in focus at conference

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca A two-day “Ignite the Life” suicide prevention conference in Saskatoon ended up bursting at the seams, exceeding all expectations. Over 600 youth from northern and north-central Saskatchewan attended, but conference coordinator Treena Wynes said they easily could have had 2,000 kids.

Wynes initiated the event after a rash of suicides in northern Saskatchewan last fall. Wynes is a director with Indian Child & Family Services (ICFS) and brought sixty youth, plus 30 chaperones and youth workers, with her to the conference from three First Nations in the Spiritwood area, which is her area of responsibility.

“I’m tired of hearing this in the media, these kids taking their lives. In my work as director we deal with this daily.

We need to get something going for these kids.”

It takes courage to open a conversation about suicide, but the youth plunged in.

A panel of suicide survivors opened the door.

“Hearing the stories from the suicide survival panel, of how they overcame not only their thoughts but their attempts, in some cases several attempts – I think the youth got a really strong message from that,” said Wynes.

“There was a lot of emotion on Thursday, so that made it powerful. We were able to gather a lot of information from the kids in regards to what was going on.

However, they had to open up. It was a tough day for them.” Friday was a day of information and inspiration, and a little lighter for everyone, Wynes said.

I didn’t really think teaching was my thing.” Then she was asked to do a paint night for a Freedom Challenge fundraiser.

That same night she got a job teaching more classes. She calls the fun paints nights, where participants go home with a piece in two hours, ‘One and Done.’

“I found out I actually really like teaching, building up people’s confidence.

There’s always somebody who looks me right in the eye and says, ‘Just so you

know, I have zero talent. I can’t even draw a stick person.’ My target by the end of the day is they’re going to be proud of themselves.”

Teaching has changed her painting style a bit and it took her out of her solitude, she said.

Swift-Thiessen especially loves painting in the grey palette, which she does to great effect. Her pieces carry names like Rainy Daze, Orange Confetti, Two Realms, Dark Reflections and Bale and Bunny. The largest is a tall waterfall painting she snagged back

“I’ve heard that your gift is what you do best for the last amount of effort for you,” said Swift-Thiessen. “It might be hard work, but it doesn’t feel like work so much for you because you love it.”

The Wonders of Water show will continue until February 26. Chances are good those who see the show will love it too.

Youth find connection at suicide prevention conference

Continued from page 3 One of the biggest takeaways for the kids is the sense of connection they gained. Wynes said many don’t realize they aren’t the only ones suffering, their community isn’t the only one going through challenges. “Kids need to know that. It’s not a matter of normalizing it by any means, but it lets them know there are many, many others out there who have the same feelings, who lie awake at night wondering if their life is worth living.”

Wynes said the youth also felt a greater sense of belonging. It’s not that anyone wants to belong to an epidemic of suicide. But there’s a sense that maybe they can better overcome it if everyone is fighting it together rather than in isolation.

Isolation is the killer.

Getting kids talking about it breaks that feeling of being alone. Wynes says they don’t talk because they feel shame and guilt, and they think nobody cares or that they’ll be dismissed.

One of the youth said, “A

couple of times back home I was trying to commit suicide. But when I heard this conference was coming up, I wanted to see how much I would learn. And I learned lots, especially from people who talked about surviving. Back home I didn’t think anybody loved me.

I used to do the cuts. But I quit doing that now. It makes me not hurt myself anymore, because I know I’m not alone.”

An innovative part of the conference was a spontaneous fashion show, which was about self-esteem and confidence. “It was so amazing! It was about you being you whoever you are.

You strut it!” Wynes said.

Youth were pulled from the crowd, sent to get hair and make-up done, outfitted in designer clothes and then walk the runway for the first time. “The kids were right into it!”

The conference wrapped up with a commitment to staying alive. “The most important aspect of this conference is that the kids are going to sign a life pact before they leave.

They sign it and a witness signs it.” A declara-

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Over 600 youth attended a suicide prevention conference February 2 and 3 at the Saskatoon Inn tion ceremony sealed that commitment. “When they go home, they’re to stick it up somewhere and if they ever have a bad day they’re going to read that life

pact.”

The conference attracted national media attention.

Wynes said she knows of no other youth conference in Canada that is specif-

ically devoted to suicide prevention. “It was definitely gratifying that people rallied around me to make this happen, especially my two good friends,

Sarah Wheelwright and Leanne Mazza. And what I first imagined in my head actually happened — we’re here today with the walls busting.”

‘Mr. Hockey’ donation stolen from Asquith rink

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca An autographed jersey personally donated by hockey legend Gordie Howe was stolen from the Asquith rink last weekend.

The framed jersey, a gift from ‘Mr. Hockey’ to his family members who live in Asquith, was to be the grand prize in a fundraising lottery later this winter. The theft has left the community devastated.

“This wasn’t just another signed Gordie Howe jersey,” said Blaine Ganchar, an Asquith resident and member of the town’s volunteer fire department. “This was a personal donation from Mr. Hockey to the Asquith rink to support the kids and hockey players who played the sport he so dearly loved.”

Gordie Howe donated the jersey to the community in March 2016, a few months before he passed away. The hockey hall-of-famer’s great grand niece Aella Boldis, and great-grand nephew Ares Boldis, are enrolled in the Asquith Minor Hockey system, and funds from the lottery are slated to be used for repairs and maintenance to the Asquith rink. The Boldis youngsters are the offspring of Howe’s grandnephew, Chuck Boldis and his wife Shannon. (Chuck’s mother, Diana Boldis is Howe’s niece.)

ly attempted to gain entry through the front doors of the rink by using a crowbar, but were unsuccessful. They then forced their way into the rink area through a side door. From there they broke into the upstairs lobby and then the concession area, and finally into a locked room where the framed autographed jersey was stored.

“It was obvious they had done this kind of thing before,” said Ganchar. “They had the tools.”

Ganchar said it will be difficult for the thieves to sell

the jersey online or through pawn shops because the item will immediately be recognized. The theft has also received widespread media coverage locally and nationally.

Ganchar said the jersey represents a piece of hockey history and its loss has left a huge hole in the community.

“There’s been incidents in the past where the rink has been damaged or vandalized, but there was never anything of real value that was taken,” he said. “This one really hurts very much

A Detroit Red Wings jersey autographed by Gordie Howe was personally donated by the hockey legend to his relatives in Asquith in March, 2016. The jersey was to be the grand prize in a fundraising lottery next month.

Warman RCMP officers are investigating the theft, which occurred sometime during the late night hours of Saturday, January 28 and early morning of Sunday, January 30. Anyone with information on the crime is asked to contact Crimestop-

pers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or the Warman-Martensville RCMP at 306-975-1670 or 306975-1610 Ganchar said the theft was discovered in the early afternoon of Sunday, January 30 by a rink volunteer.

Ganchar said there has been an “outpouring of support” from people who have heard about the theft.

“The rink has also had a few offers from people who are willing to donate signed Howe jerseys so that our fundraising lottery slated for March can still go ahead,” he said. “That’s very much appreciated, but we’re still very hopeful that the stolen jersey will be recovered somehow.”

How well has P4G plotted the future?

COMMENTARY

If you can imagine how the area north of Saskatoon will look in 60 years, you probably should have been part of the Partnership for Growth (P4G).

This is the elusive task five municipalities set for themselves, two-plus years ago.

The difficulty is, the future looms like a mirage in the distance, perpetually receding as you advance toward it. Nevertheless, the attempt must be made, the crystal ball must be invoked and its’ secrets plundered.

After a long gaze at that crystal ball, the P4G process is to be completed in April. Feedback from a final open house on January 24 is now being factored into the regional plan and draft land use map. The truth is, anybody could be part of the process if they wanted to. A couple of public engagement sessions invited comments from individuals and businesses, basically anyone in the region.

Several positives from the work of the P4G have been identified. First, five municipalities (the cities of Saskatoon, Warman and Martensville, the town of Osler and the RM of Corman Park) played nice together to get it done; no small feat.

Second, a coordinated plan for growth beats no plan at all, or municipalities rushing off, doing their own thing and tripping over each other.

Third, the plan allows people living in affected areas to begin to assess the impact of the plan on their own land, to take the long view and make any necessary adjustments.

Fourth, the regional plan provides a blueprint for investors looking to bring their dollars to the region.

Such benefits cannot be denied, but they are more general in nature and could be trotted out to promote the merits of any land use plan in almost any region.

No plan is perfect. The success of this plan depends on a number of things.

Like the data that was sourced and applied. How reliable is that data? The report says the P4G used data and maps from a range of sources to understand the factors that support and influence growth in the region. Some flexibility is built in for longerterm growth areas. The plan is to be reviewed at regular periods to allow for adaptations to changing conditions or adjustments to potentially flawed or stale data.

The inclusion of a Green Network as a future study area is a good step. Certainly, the name is more appealing than say, ‘Drainage Area.’ However, its’ tardy appearance and lack of finalization makes its future feel a bit tenuous. The first casualty of growth and economic development is often natural environments that deserve protection and conservation measures. When big money is involved, it’s easy to push the duck family out of their pond.

Land use policies need to set fair ground rules for regional growth patterns. This means not allowing larger entities to muscle their way in and stake illegitimate claims, make land grabs to sit on for down the road, or grossly overpay for land and push other buyers out of the market. It also means not unfairly freezing land for a day down the road that could be growing cannabis today.

Servicing, governance and implementation strategies are currently being developed. Much will depend on implementation, the ability not only to govern and set policy but also the will to slap the hand that is reaching in where it shouldn’t and shake the hands of those businesses and individuals who will truly enrich the region.

How well has the P4G plotted the future? They’ve got a decent start. Now they have to go do it.

If your opinion has not yet been heard, the online survey closes on February 24.

The STARS acronym stands for Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society. It was incorrectly identified in a story on page 5 in the February 2, 2017 edition.

News, ads both essential to community newspapers Recently we received a letter addressed, sort of, to the editorial department of this newspaper.

Ironically, it was emailed to the ad department. Here’s what it said: “Hello:

“I don’t know who this should be addressed to, but I have a suggestion.

“You do a very good job of covering and reporting on events that have occurred. The problem is that you never tell us that these events are about to happen or what we might expect at these events. Consequently, I for one, find out what I’ve missed but was never aware that there was something I could be enjoying or participating in until it is history. I suspect that it has something to do with the Gazette wanting paid advertising. Are the reports, after the fact, paid for? I would really appreciate the upcoming information as a public service. I hope this is possible.”

First off, thanks for the compliment. We do our best. With 68 Saskatchewan Weekly Newspaper Awards under our belt in the last seven years, we must be doing something right.

And yeah, the reporters do get paid, after the fact, for turning in clean, accurate

DEADLINE SKIPPY Chokecherries

copy and high-quality photos in a timely fashion.

Who foots the bill? The owners of the newspaper.

As for letting readers know when events are about to happen, that’s a tall order.

But here goes. Let’s start with a normal 7 o’clock rush hour on Highways 11 and 12 as hundreds of commuters drive to Saskatoon on a typical bleak February morning. Let’s say, for the sake of dark entertainment, that the icy roads are slippery and treacherous.

Here’s what you might expect to happen. Somebody is probably going to hit the ditch.

News events like fires, collisions and tornadoes can happen anywhere, anytime.

That’s what makes news... well... news. Nobody expects the unexpected. But they still want the facts, and they want them fast.

Obviously, the letter-writer is looking for free publicity about concerts, snowmobile rallies, community fundraisers of all kinds. All worthy causes, of course, but why should such notices be free?

Would you expect to walk into a grocery store and get a loaf of bread for free? You might be really hungry but does that make you a worthy cause?

The bottom line is, this stuff is not news. It belongs in the “upcoming events” section of the classified ads.

Paid advertising is what keeps the news business going. A community newspaper is not a bulletin board.

A good community newspaper is a balanced combination of well-crafted paid advertisements and solid editorial content. You can’t have one without the other.

and cultural stories, along with award-winning photos, attract engaged readers.

Businesses want to attract those readers as customers, so they wisely invest money by buying advertising space in the paper. They get more customers and their business grows.

The revenue received by the newspaper from paid advertising, in turn, ensures that it continues to provide quality editorial content.

The Gazette, like every other newspaper in the country worth its salt, is a business. It doesn’t rely on government subsidies. It generates its own income to pay staff, taxes, printing and other production costs.

Does that make it totally independent and pure? Not by a long shot. Every publisher knows that running a good newspaper is a balancing act between conflicting demands. But a media outlet that operates as an independent business is in a better position to advocate for the public interest than one that’s in the hip pocket of a political party or any level of government.

Poe: mildly steam-punky and mainly flawless

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Martensville High School’s “Poe” production has wrapped after a threenight run, but images and impressions linger – stunning costumes and props in starkly contrasting black and white, an often-sinister-at-times-playful musical score, crisp poetry recitations, the feverish movements of Poe’s feathered pen and his tormented writings, a larger than life cast of characters.

A long line for the Dessert Theatre was already queued in the foyer at 7:00 p.m., on Saturday, waiting for the theatre doors to open. Students created a delectable variety of selections under the watchful eye of Home Economics teacher Della Muench.

It’s difficult to quantify the dramatic effect of the play. It’s power lies in its fascinating uniqueness and bold performances. Written by high school teacher Micah Robinson, the play captured the ‘strange and tumultuous’ life and writings of Edgar Allan Poe. When the lights went down, lost love captured our attention in ‘The Raven.’ Poe felt his topic was best expressed through the death of a beautiful woman, who is mourned. The Raven appears as a spooky black shrouded figure with

HILARY KLASSEN | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Edgar Allan Poe grieves the loss of his wife from consumption a beaked nose who growls, “nevermore” in a low guttural voice, at regular intervals in response to the grieving lover.

In ‘The Fall of the House of Usher,’ hysteria grips the main character who has a mysterious disease, and is

frantic with fear about it.

The story first appeared in Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine in 1839.

The Telltale Heart reflects the raving thoughts of a servant or more probably, a son who murders his father, but insists he is not ‘mad.’ He is

blown away by his own cleverness in committing the perfect crime but then becomes increasingly agitated and owns up to a couple of officers.

There’s a nod to pop culture as one character suggests that another charac-

ter “get a life.” The Telltale Heart brings in some timely humour.

Robinson’s debut work as a playwright is ambitious and immensely creative. He first studied Poe a bit in university, then taught Poe and his works, and then became in-

terested in Poe as a person.

“What a great character to write a play about, because it can be very fantastical.”

Period elements, like Victorian Era costuming, blend with modernizing effects on the ‘steam-punky’ side, with the inclusion of rivets, cogs and gears. The Victorian clock in the centre of the stage, skirts with the cage on the outside instead of the inside and exaggerated costume accessories (not to mention the poems themselves) all elevate the strangeness and contribute to the sense of fantasy. Poe is often in the background but his importance as a central figure never wanes.

Everything went off like clockwork. As director, Robinson is able to get very strong performances from his actors. How does he do it? “I have very high expectations. I like to keep it fun, but I also have a strict practice schedule. The kids know this is something they’ve got to pour into, and they do. I’m so proud of them.”

That pride extends to the work his brother Jared did to write the original score for the play.

“And I’m proud of the amount of people who came on board to make it a success – those who made the desserts, the costumes, built the set and all of that. It’s definitely not a one man deal.”

Venture Heights holds top spot in Heart & Stroke fundraiser most of any school in Canada. The second-place spot is held by Our Lady of Grace School in Alberta ($7,951.57); and third place is held by a Quebec school ($5,609).

The ‘Jump Rope for Heart’ campaign, which encourages kids to get active by skipping, began in mid-January and concludes on Valentine’s Day, February 14. The focus is on promoting heart

health through exercise.

Mariel Pochynuk, a literacy support staff person at Venture Heights and coordinator of the school’s ‘Jump Rope for Heart’ campaign, said she’s very impressed with the way the kids have embraced the challenge.

“It’s been going on for two weeks,” said Pochynuk in an interview at the school on Wednesday, February 1.

The top ten schools in each province are posted.

A special assembly at Venture Heights School on February 1 celebrated the fact that Martensville is leading the country in the campaign.

But it’s not the first time it’s happened. Valley Manor School, which is taking a break this year from the campaign, broke a Canadi-

“We’re at the halfway point right now, and as of today we have raised over $6,500 dollars.”

The school’s goal was to raise $10,000 by February 14. It’s already beaten that.

North View Mennonite Haven holds grand opening

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Peter and Mary Guenther of Warman can’t say enough good things about their new home.

The retired couple moved into the North View Mennonite Haven (NVMH) in early November, 2016, shortly after construction of the 72-unit, $16.2 million building was completed. Two years earlier, in June, 2014, they were present at the sodturning, having been among the first to purchase their life-lease condominium in the complex, attached to the Warman Mennonite Special Care Home (WMSCH).

“It’s great,” said Peter Guenther. “We have everything we need here. And it’s getting better all the time.

Our friends are here and there are so many things that we can do here. Right now our health is good, but in the future, the care home is right next door if we need it.”

The ribbon-cutting marking the official opening of the NVMH was held Monday, February 6, with Erna Janzen doing the honours, flanked by Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence, Saskatchewan Social Services Minister Tina Beaudry-Mellor, Martensville-Warman MLA Nancy Heppner, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) representative Lorraine Bellgarde

and WMSCH Board Chair Gerald Sawatzky. Erna is the widow of the late Jake Janzen, who was chair of the WMSCH Board at the inception of the project and who guided it along until his untimely passing in November, 2014.

The NVMH’s 72 suites include a mix of double and single rental units and owned condominiums.

Twenty of the rental units are subsidized by the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation and CMHC, 32 are market rental units, and 20 are life-lease units.

“The opening of North View Mennonite Haven means that 72 senior households will now have safe, healthy and affordable homes,” said Beaudry-Mellor at the official opening in the facility’s chapel-auditorium, the centrepiece of the building. “The $800,000 investment by Sask Housing and CMHC is helping this growing city meet the challenges of affordable rental accommodation for seniors.”

The federal-provincial funding for the 20 rental units is through the Canada-Saskatchewan Investment in Affordable Housing (2014-2019) Agreement Capital Rent Subsidy program.

The City of Warman is providing $100,000 in support to the housing project. The balance of the cost, $15.3 million, is being raised by the

WMSCH. Beaudry-Mellor said she’s thankful the NVMH project was approved prior to the current climate of fiscal belt-tightening. She said the province is committed to other projects already approved under the federalprovincial agreement.

Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said the city is “pleased to welcome North View Mennonite Haven home to our community.

The facility offers various affordable options to our seniors who want to remain close to their family and friends. Our seniors are a part of our past, part of our present and will continue to be part of Warman’s vibrant and exciting future as we move ahead.”

WMSCH Administrator Jim Wiebe noted the expansion is important to area seniors.

“I get phone calls every week from a family needing a place for their loved one,” said Wiebe. “It is so good to be able to say yes, we can help.”

Bishop Howard Peters said the new facility turned out “better than we envisioned” and noted that no worker was injured during the two year construction period.

Peters welcomed residents to the facility on behalf of the WMSCH Board and offered a blessing at the opening ceremonies.

Puppets breathe life into traditional Aboriginal stories

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Chad Solomon has a winning recipe when it comes to telling First Nations stories.

He starts with a spicy tale based on a traditional First Nations legend, mixes in a cast of life-like puppets based on his highly-popular “Rabbit and Bear Paws” comic books, and adds a healthy helping of audience participation.

The result?

A gymnasium full of spellbound young students, soaking in the experience as their eyes are opened to a whole new world of aboriginal culture.

Solomon brought his show to Valley Manor School in Martensville on Thursday, February 2 as part of a province-wide tour during Aboriginal Storytelling Month.

Sponsored jointly by the school and the Martensville branch of the Wheatland Public Library, the puppet show combined a moralistic message with slapstick comedy and surprise plot twists.

Solomon said he loves putting a fresh, accessible spin on ancient aboriginal myths and legends.

“The enthusiasm of the students and staff motivates me,” said Solomon in an interview just prior to the show at the school. “The energy I get back from the kids is what inspires me to do

my own further research, to continue finding more stories to share with young audiences.”

This wasn’t Solomon’s first appearance at Valley Manor.

Last year he and his puppet characters told a First Nations creation story entitled “Turtle Island.” This year his tale had a message about the importance of sharing the land and protecting its natural resources.

“This year it’s a funny story called, ‘One Dish, One Spoon and a Whole Lot of Popcorn’,” said Solomon. “It looks at the First Nations treaties and the idea of sustainability.”

That sounds like a pretty heavy moral meal for an audience of six-year-olds, but Solomon said it’s actually very light-hearted.

“We use puppets to break it down into simple ideas,” he said. “It’s about keeping your promises, and only taking enough to feed yourself and your family.

“It’s really all about having fun,” he added. “When kids are having fun, that’s when they’re learning the most.”

Martensville head librarian Marla Skomar said the local library jumped at the chance to bring Solomon’s show to the community.

“It’s really nice when we are able to work with the schools,” said Skomar. “We

Chad Solomon gives his young audience members an up-close look at a puppet character during a performance at Valley Manor School on February 2 don’t have a facility with a big enough space to accommodate this many kids at one time, and this was a natural fit with the school.

Chad was here last year and

the teachers were eager to have him back.”

Skomar herself is no stranger to story-telling, She handles the popular weekly pre-school storytime read-

ings at the library.

She said the partnership with the school encourages youngsters to check out the community library’s resources and activities.

Continued from page 7 “Heart attacks and stroke are the leading cause of premature death in Canada,” she said. “So many kids these days are inactive. they’re playing video games and are glued to their phones.

“We want to promote a healthy lifestyle, and skipping is one of the best forms of exercise out there. Top athletes in all sports include skipping in their workout routine.

“It’s a great activity, and it’s not expensive. All you need is a skipping rope.”

The campaign includes incentives for students and their schools. If a child donates $5 to the campaign, the Heart and Stroke Foundation matches that donation and also provides the student with a free skipping rope.

Schools get a portion of their donations back to be used for sports equipment purchases.

If the school reaches its $10,000 goal, students and staff will play “egg roulette” at a special assembly after February 14, said Pochynuk. “That’s where you have to pick an egg, and a couple of them aren’t hard-boiled, they’re raw,” she said. “So somebody might get egged.”

Venture Heights School principal Ron Biberdorf said he’s encouraged by the results so far and is confident the school will exceed its objective.

“It’s a very supportive community,” said Biberdorf.

“This campaign is all about promoting healthy lifestyles and good choices, and that’s what we try and do at this school every day.”

Marauders stomp on Stampeders

By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Martensville Bantam A Marauders enjoyed a 13-2 blowout victory over the Meadow Lake Stampeders at the Martensville Arena, on Sunday, February 5.

It was both teams first game of the Saskatchewan Hockey Association Bantam A Provincial Playoffs, and the Marauders started the scoring early on in the contest.

Martensville netted four goals in the first period, which gave the Marauders the early advantage in the game.

Payton Kachur scored two goals and Holden Doell and Ty Albrecht recorded the other goals.

The majority of those goals came off of rebounds right in front of the net as the Marauders capitalized on thoe second chance opportunities.

“I thought we were hungry for pucks tonight. And that’s another big part of our game is having that hunger and getting into those hard areas,” said Marauders coach

John Kachur. “Goals aren’t always pretty, but if guys are prepared and committed to going into the hard areas in front of the net, which we were, then we get rewarded.”

Martensville led 4-0 going into the middle frame and the Marauders continued the offensive dominance, scoring another five goals, while keeping the Mustangs off of the scoreboard.

Albrecht netted another two goals, which gave him the hat trick. And Brayden Woods, Cole Duperreault, and Doell each scored a goal.

The Marauders didn’t letup in that period and continued to stick with their game plan.

“We always stress about puck pressure and the forecheck. I thought we ... got a couple of quick ones (goals), got some momentum and then fed off of that, and just kept rolling,” Kachur said.

Meadow Lake played a lot better in the beginning of the final period, which led to the Stampeders’ first goal of the game.

“Our first five minutes of the third period, I thought we kind of fell a sleep a little bit and weren’t really sharp,” Kachur said.

But it didn’t take long for Martensville to breakout of that lull and the team scored four more goals in

the period.

Woods scored two goals and Doell added another one, and both players earned a hat trick in the game. Duperreault also netted one.

The Stampeders did score again in the period, but

Martensville leads the two game, total points series by 11 goals.

Kachur wasn’t sure what to expect of the opponent going into the game, but he was happy with the results.

“We haven’t seen this team all year, and they’re

not in our league,” Kachur said. “But we were just worried about ourselves, our own game and I thought our guys really stepped up and played well.”

Game 2 of the series is on Saturday, February 11 in Meadow Lake.

By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Try Lacrosse initiative was recently in Warman, offering a free clinic to youth interested in learning the sport.

“It’s a way for kids to come out into the local community and see if they’re interested in playing the game. And learn skills before they get the opportunity to play (in

a game),” said Try Lacrosse co-ordinator Neil Hruska.

The Saskatchewan Lacrosse Association in co-ordination with the Saskatoon Box Lacrosse Association have organized the clinics in communities near Saskatoon. A clinic was held at the Legends Centre on Tuesday, January 31 and February 7.

Members of the Saskatche-

wan S.W.A.T. Lacrosse program were at the event, and taught the youth different aspects of the game by running some drills.

“We’ve got experienced kids out there who’ve been playing the game for years, having the ability to give back and help them (the participants) learn and get comfortable playing lacrosse,” Hruska said.

The main objective is for the youth to see how the game is really played and learn the rules and nuances of the sport.

Hruska said that last season was the first year there were Warman teams playing in the Saskatoon Box Lacrosse League. There were two teams each in the novice and peewee divisions.

He also added that players from the surrounding communities also played on the teams.

“So we got players that come in from Hague, Dalmeny and a few of other smaller communities combined to do the teams,” Hruska said.

There was a good turnout at the clinics and Hruska hopes that Warman can

field teams in the mini-tyke and tyke division.

“The biggest thing is, the more kids we can get involved the more opportunity there is where we can get teams that are locally based.

We would still be playing in Saskatoon but it gives us the opportunity where we

Bantam Wildcats prevail in provincial opener

By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Warman Bantam Wildcats Lynx prevailed 4-1 over the Battlefords Barons, during its opening game of the Saskatchewan Hockey Association Bantam A Provincial Playoffs, on Saturday, February 4, at the Warman Legends Centre.

Warman came out in the first period with plenty of energy, which led to the games’ first goal, scored by Tyler Vanneste and that set the tone for the rest of the game.

“You always want to go out and get the first goal and get energy and momentum going,” said Wildcats coach Vance Heaney.

Despite giving up three power play opportunities

to the Barons in the period, the Wildcats continued to play hard and didn’t let that man advantage dictate the game.

“This is a fast, aggressive talented team. We got a really strong penalty kill forecheck as a lot of teams have a hard time getting the puck out of their end again us. And we just keep that pace going the whole game,” Heaney said.

The Wildcats led 1-0 after 20 minutes of play.

Warman continued that aggressive play it showed during the first period into the middle frame and around the halfway mark, Spencer Bell lit the lamp for the home team.

Thirty-two seconds after that goal, Owen Tallmadge netted one, which gave the

Lacrosse skills camp offered in Warman Continued from page 10 establish some of those teams as well,” Hruska said.

Also for the first time in Warman, there will be a skills camp put on by the S.W.A.T. players, as it’s just another opportunity for the youth to learn new skills before the season starts.

The camp begins on Tuesday, February 14 and it will consist of six sessions as each session is on Tuesday.

The cost of the camp is $60.

Having these clinics and camps, along with getting

Wildcats a 3-0 lead.

Warman was able to keep the Barons off of the scoreboard for the rest of the period.

Four and a half minutes into the final frame, the Wildcats added to its lead after a goal scored by Boston Bayly.

Battlefords caught a break in the final 30 seconds, when the Warman goaltender misplayed the puck out in front of his net, which led to a turnover, and soon after, a goal.

Overall, Heaney was impressed with the agressive play of the Wildcats, which contributed to the win.

“We dominated the (overall) play, (and) I think we checked the heck out of them,” Heaney said.

He also added that the Wildcats spent a lot of time in Battlefords’ zone and could’ve scored more goals, if it weren’t for some of the great saves that the Barons goalie made throughout the

Rayden Pauls tries to avoid pressure from a Battlefords defender before a takes a shot game.

“Their goalie played awesome, stood on his head, and we probably lost a lot of goals that we could’ve had,” Heaney said.

Warman leads the two game, total points series by three goals.

“Any type of lead going into Game 2 is what we need, so I think they’re

confident, and they’re ready to go.”

Game 2 was played on Wednesday, February 8.

The results were not available at press time.

the word out about the sport is important, because the overall goal is to keep the youth interested and excited about lacrosse. So in the future there will be teams from the area in the older divisions.

“We would love to get to the point where we can sustain all age groups and have all ages to be able top play.

The biggest thing, no matter whether it’s Warman, Martensville or ... Saskatoon, is to get kids actually playing lacrosse and that’s the biggest goal,” Hruska said.

Blackhawks play final home game of season

By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Beardy’s Midget AAA Blackhawks dropped a 5-1 decision to the Saskatoon Contacts, during their final home game of the regular season, on Thursday, February 2.

In that game, the Blackhawks got off to a great start, battling toe-to-toe with the Contacts and matching Saskatoon in shots.

Beardy’s even scored the game’s first goal, as it was recorded by Dodge Long.

However, Saskatoon responded later in the period with a goal of its own.

Throughout the period, the Blackhawks forced the Contacts goalie to dive and drastically move but couldn’t capitalize in those situations.

The game was tied, 1-1 entering the middle frame.

Saskatoon scored three consecutive goals in the period and two of them were scored within eight seconds of each other. But Beardy’s also had its scoring opportunities as well. “They (Saskatoon) had those moments too, where they gave us good chances, but we couldn’t capitalize on it,� Beardy’s coach Dale Grayston said.

Beardy’s limited Saskatoon to one goal, in the final frame, but couldn’t beat the Contacts goaltender, despite generating multiple scoring chances. The Blackhawks outshot the op-

position 17-9 in the period. “It’s frustrating a little, but at the same time we know we’re playing a pretty good team and we were getting good looks,� Grayston said. “So we just got to trust that we keep working on our shooting and that in the upcoming weeks the puck will go in.�

Currently, the Blackhawks are on the outside, looking in, regarding the playoff race and will have to dig deep in their remaining five games to get into the postseason. “Three of our last five games are against teams that are sort of right in the mix. So those will be really important games for us,�

Grayston said.

Heading into this final stretch, Grayston hopes that players return from injury, as the Blackhawks had five affiliate players in the lineup against Saskatoon. “I thought that it was great for their team’s to allow them to come skate with us right now. And it was really a boost for us to have them, Grayston said. “We probably aren’t going to have them for the last five games, so we’ve got to make do with what we have.�

Grayston also wants the team to play with a full steady effort in the remaining matchups . “We’ve played pretty good hockey in the last three games. But we just have to keep trying to improve on getting just a little bit better

(ABOVE) Tian Rask, of the Beardy’s Blackhawks, tries to locate the bouncing puck during a scramble in front of the Saskatoon Contacts net. (RIGHT) Jared Hamm fires the puck past Alexander Morozoff, during the first period and hopefully that effort will pay off for us,�

Grayston said.

The Blackhawks’ next two games will be a back-to-back in Swift Current, against the Legionnaires. The first game will be played on Saturday, February 11 and the second contest will be played the following day.

Time to change!

There’s a saying that people won’t change until the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of changing.

Sometimes it’s hard to welcome change with open arms, but this year, that’s exactly what I intend to do.

I’m ready to exchange chores for time to do things I love.

To exchange cooking and cleaning for delicious meals and housekeeping done by others. To exchange icy, treacherous sidewalks and long dark evenings with the option of staying comfortably inside with new friends and lots to do.

Warman EMO Coordinator Randy Meginbir (standing, right) works with city officials including Warman Deputy Mayor Gary Philipchuk (left) and Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence (second from left) during an EOC Detailed Risk Assessment workshop TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Warman Emergency Measures officials take stock of risks

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca If a devastating tornado, flood or blizzard were to hit Warman, would the city’s Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) officials have a plan to protect lives and critical infrastructure?

They will by this fall, according to Warman EMO Coordinator Randy Meginbir.

The first of several “detailed risk assessment” sessions aimed at protecting lives and property in the event of a natural disaster was held at the city’s Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) at the fire hall on Wednesday, February 1. The session, coordinated by Meginbir, involved officials from several city departments as well as Mayor Sheryl Spence and Deputy Mayor Gary Philipchuk.

“Today we met as a working group to focus specifically on flooding,” said Meginbir in an interview. “We looked at how that would affect the city’s critical infra-

structure and the logistics of how to respond. If we had to evacuate a school or seniors’ home, how would we do that? Do we have enough boats, sandbags and pumps?

If not, how can we access the resources we need when we need them?”

Meginbir said while Warman would likely not face the same kind of disastrous flash flood that Estevan did last summer, a torrential rain over a very short period could overwhelm the city’s stormwater drainage capacity.

“Estevan is in a river valley, whereas Warman is a very flat area,” said Meginbir. “So a flood here would potentially inundate some areas, and would also very likely lead to sewer backups.

“We would need to have a plan to take action in a quick and efficient manner.

We would need to protect the pumping stations, get the word out about boil water advisories, get pumps going and make sure people are safe.”

Meginbir said over the next six months, detailed risk assessments will be conducted monthly, so that

by September, most of the potential problems that could crop up will have been foreseen and solutions devised.

Everything is being compiled into a comprehensive binder that will allow those in charge to find the resources and answers they need in the event of a disaster.

“The time to figure out these things is before things get bad,” said Meginbir. “We don’t want to have people trying to reinvent the wheel at 2 o’clock in the morning in the midst of a whole lot of chaos.”

Meginbir said an EOC disaster simulation training session will be scheduled for this fall once the risk assessment is complete.

The Warman Emergency Response Team (WERT) civilian volunteer teams will also be part of that fall EOC simulation.

Graham Dyck to croon at Telemiracle

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Jazz musician Graham Dyck has gigs lined up all the way to October, this year. The Buble-esque crooner has a day job as a paramedic and firefighter, but for the past few years, any spare moments have been devoted to ramping up his music career.

Dyck recently released a new jazz album. A second album with some of his original songs is about to debut.

‘Find Myself’ is a compilation of songs he wrote over the last six to eight years.

“A lot of them were written during a time when I was down or out or really questioning some things,”Dyck said. “A lot had to do with exploring my world and expanding myself. I took some of the ones I really loved.” He says the songs have been very well received. They’ll be up on iTunes soon.

Dyck is often accompanied by well-known Saskatoon piano man, Maurice Drouin, but he’s also been working on building up his Graham Dyck Band.

Despite this level of activity, Dyck is taking some time to sing for Telemiracle in March. “I’m really excited about the cause. The more I learned about it, even from a paramedic standpoint, the more I saw how many people are reached by the money raised at Telemiracle.”

Dyck has visited many communities in the province either as a paramedic,

“we need to get you on television.” So Dyck applied to Telemiracle, did the tryout and was put on the roster.

“Music is awesome because it greases the wheels for charitable giving as well.

It’s kind of like giving back.

You have a gift and you give it back.” Dyck will be performing a song called ‘Walking in the Rain’ from his album, Find Myself. He wants to bring a donation with him so he started a Go Fund Me page called “Graham’s Telemiracle Fundraiser.’

Dyck will be at the Jazz Festival again this summer and is jazzed about some new opportunities to perform in casinos and some larger venues. There’s talk of doing a cruise ship tour with Drouin, and possibly a tour of Europe.

Graham Dyck will be in the Telemiracle lineup on the evening of Saturday, March 4 at TCU Place.
