Indigenous awareness in focus at college

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Do you agree with the statement, “How you see the world will have an impact on how you act as a people’?” This was a question posed by Lyndon Linklater at an Indigenous Awareness Workshop recently. Students, staff as well as agency representatives and community members gathered at Great Plains College (GPC) to learn more about First Nations world view, treaties and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action. In Saskatchewan we’re celebrating Aboriginal Storytelling Month, and Linklater chose to impart knowledge through storytelling. “It was very easy for participants to relate and connect with what he was saying,” said Robin Bendig, program coordinator at GPC. The college has been offering these workshops in a number of locations where they offer classes – Kindersley, Biggar, Rosetown, Maple Creek, Swift Current, Warman and Whitecap First Nation. The workshop was part of GPC’s ongoing efforts in awareness and reconciliation. “In recent months we have established an Indigenous Engagement Committee for the college. One of our initiatives is providing additional learning opportunities for the Saskatoon community.” Bendig is one of the co-chairs of that committee. Linklater talked about the symbolism in a ribbon shirt made for him by his mother, elder Maria Linklater. He took participants through a treaty-making exercise, and

helped them understand the significance and complexities of making a treaty. The event was part of an ongoing partnership between GPC and the Office of the Treaty Commissioner where Linklater is part of the speakers’ bureau. In attendance were representatives from agencies like Family Service Saskatoon, Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation, the Elizabeth Fry Society and Mennonite Central Committee, as well as students from business and youth worker certificate students and members of the community. How we see the world does have an impact on how we act. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission published 94 calls to action. Bendig says a lot of conversations are still necessary on reconciliation, what it is and how to bring it about. She once heard an elder say you can’t delegate reconciliation. Each individual or agency needs to answer their own call to action.

GPC is committed to providing ongoing opportunities

for the necessary learning and conversations.

Green Network offers benefits to region By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca A proposed “Green Network” in the area north of Saskatoon will protect natural habitats as well as provide protection against flooding, according to the Partnership for Growth (P4G). “We’re looking at how can we use wetlands and natural areas not just as a parkland, but as green infrastructure that can support economical drainage areas, that can store water during big events and through an improved drainage system that can eventually drain areas around development more safely than in other areas,” said planner, Doug Olson with O2 Planning+Design. The area is prone to flooding. He said the Green Network was an important inclusion given the flooding in the area, 2013 being a case in point. The Green Network is an ongoing study area with a multi-functional green map, which intends to ensure sufficient land is identified for wildlife, wetlands, drainage swales, natural grasslands, and some uplands that are currently cultivated. All these areas would be linked for drainage purposes and would link wildlife as well. Alex Fallon, chair of

the P4G Regional Oversight Committee, acknowledged that some people in the Green Network study will wonder how it impacts their land. “They have land that they want to keep as an agricultural use and it still is zoned agricultural so they’re pretty happy.” It is anticipated that the Network will also improve surface water quality, thereby improving the health of the South Saskatchewan River. It will provide citizens with opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, through hiking, bird watching and other types of recreation. Wanuskewin Heritage Park is considered an important resource for these purposes in the area. The plan allows for additional parks, open spaces and protected areas.

Some development will be allowed in the Green Network study area. Applications will undergo a screening process to ensure development avoids impacting local and regional drainage, wetlands, and ecological areas. Corridors for wildlife movement are to be preserved. If impacts are unavoidable, mitigation or compensation will be required. Adam Tittemore, administrator for the RM of Corman Park says the RM has been operating with this knowledge on the back burner for some time, in particular with projects in areas that have drainage issues. “With any application we have come forward for development, we’re asking a lot of these questions and trying to look at things in that way to make sure there aren’t going to be issues,” he said. The Green Network Study Area was previously named “Conversation and Drainage” but it was changed to reflect a broader range of functions and to signal that additional information will be needed to refine its boundaries.

A Green Network map envisions how the P4G plan will preserve natural habitats in a region of strong growth north of Saskatoon

Beardy’s distributes, invests Specific Claims Tribunal funds By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nation officially received $4.5 million from the Specific Claims Tribunal on Wednesday, February 15. A portion of the Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nation Treaty Annuities Settlement funds will be distributed on a per-capita basis to registered members of the First Nation; with the bulk of the money invested in an armslength trust fund known as The Legacy Trust.

Per-capita payments of $250 per individual are to be distributed on March 2 and 3 at the Beardy’s community recreation centre. The award is based on a decision made on May 6, 2015 by Justice Harry Slade of the Specific Claims Tribunal. The specific dollar amount of the award was announced on January 23, 2017 by the Tribunal. The funds are intended to compensate the First Nation for the withholding of annual payments under Trea-

ty 6 for a four-year period, from 1885 to 1888. Under the terms of Treaty 6, each member of the First Nation was entitled to $5 annually. But these payments were withheld by the federal government of the day because it believed Beardy’s members were involved in the 1885 Northwest Resistance, also referred to as the Riel Rebellion. The Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nation filed a claim with the Specific Claims Tribunal in 2011, alleg-

ing the Crown breached its Treaty obligations by withholding the treaty annuity payments. The Tribunal agreed with the claim. The Beardy’s First Nation council stated on its website on February 13 that it has received direction from the community on how the funds should be used. “We have heard from so many in our community on how to best utilize the settlement,” the statement posted on the website read. “Many have remarked ‘the money

should be distributed’ while many more have said ‘we need to think about our future.’ “As fiduciaries, Council has a legal obligation to act in the best interests of the nation. We feel that distributing the total sum of the settlement would not be a responsible course of action. “We do, however, recognize the current, immediate needs of our people. “With these two critical factors in mind, we have developed a plan that strikes

an appropriate balance of protecting our Nation’s future, while meeting some of the immediate needs of our people. “Here is our plan: “1. The Legacy Trust: On February 6, 2017, Council established The Legacy Trust - a fund to guarantee a prosperous and sustainable future for the next 7 generations. “2.

Warman, Rosthern entrepreneurs win awards By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Steve Gaudet of Warman has been named the top Saskatchewan Start Up Entrepreneur in the 2017 Just Watch Me! video contest. This is the second year in a row a member of the Gaudet family has won the award. Steve’s wife, Janie Gaudet, earned top spot in that category in 2016. This year, Janie Gaudet was awarded fourth place in the Seasoned Entrepreneur category. Kimberly Wylie of Rosthern won second place in the Seasoned Entrepreneur category. The awards were announced at a special presentation at Warman City Hall on Friday, February 17 The Just Watch Me! video contest is an initiative of

the Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program (EDP), and is open to business owners in rural Manitoba and Saskatchewan who have disabilities or health conditions. The EDP operates under the umbrella of Community Futures, a non-profit organization which helps rural entrepreneurs start or expand their businesses. Community Futures Program Saskatchewan Coordinator Jessica Sandell said this year’s contest was the most successful so far, with a total of 27,000 businesses profiled on the contest website. “During the contest, over 2,000 votes from across Canada and around the world were cast by the public to determine the winner of the Seasoned Entrepreneur category,” said Sandell. “The

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Martensville author, Michael James has just landed on a very short list: that of the Sask Book Awards (SBA). James’ novel, Magpie, made the shortlist for the O’Reilly Insurance and The Cooperators First Book Award. The shortlist celebrates excellence in books from a wide range of genres and diverse cultural heritages. “It is an honour to be recognized, but I wasn’t expecting the selection at all,” said James. “It was surprising, as ‘Magpie’ is not a very

mainstream novel and I didn’t think there would be many people who would like it.” Apparently, some people did. James wrote the bulk of the novel when he was nineteen with paper and pen. Then it sat in a box for over 10 years before he tried to do anything with it. Fortunately, he met an editor by the name of Kaitlyn Wylde with Thought Catalog in New York. “They were publishing stories outside the mainstream, and she decided ‘Magpie’ would be a good fit.”

Start Up Entrepreneurs were chosen by a panel of judges.” Steve Gaudet is the owner of G-Force Roofing, which provides residential and commercial roofing installation. Janie Gaudet is the owner of Sweet Crete Decor, which makes home decor and art out of concrete. Kimberly Wylie owns True U Tattoo & Creationz in Rosthern, which creates custom body art. “I was very happy to be chosen,” said Steve Gaudet, who is working to overcome a physical injury. “I’ve worked for roofing companies in the past, but being an entrepreneur and having my own company, I’m able to make my own schedule so I can do the work and also take the physiotherapy for rehabilitation.”

Kimberly Wylie said Rosthern is a perfect fit for her business. “I urge people with mental illness or physical disabilities to take the route of being self-employed,” she said. “It helps you create an environment where you can sustain your well-being and deal with your health issues while utilizing your talents. “Having a mental or physical disability doesn’t mean you can’t work or make a positive contribution to your community.” First place in the Seasoned Entrepreneur category went to Lucy Fouasse of St. Malo, Manitoba. Carrie Arsenault of Gimli placed third in that category. Donald Glenn of Thompson, Manitoba was the Manitoba winner in the Start Up Entrepreneur category

“I read somewhere that Magpies collect shiny things and line their nests with

them. The metaphor stayed with me and I thought there were so many people my age living this superficial life.” Magpie traces the story of Ben who lives in a small town on the outskirts of Saskatoon with his emotionally distant and alcoholic father. Ben is obsessed with the past and the need to make things right so his world can make sense again. “He’s tired of everyone being interested only in the things that shine, instead of what’s really important,” said James. There’s nothing autobiographical about the

Martensville author shortlisted for Book Award novel, he said. “It was just a story that was in my head.” James has found the whole process interesting, and says he’s had a quite a few email conversations with readers from all over. He has written three other novels and recently signed a contract for one of them. “I certainly don’t consider myself a great writer,” he said. “I’ve never taken any coaching or mentorship of any kind, even though I probably should. I just always wrote a lot. I try to get a thousand words in a day and keep consistent. I’m al-

ways working on something.” There’s proof that success is possible outside the mainstream. The SBA received a total of 188 submissions this year. Award winners will be announced on Saturday, April 29 at the Conexus Arts Centre in Regina. Award-winning Saskatchewan author James Daschuk will serve as host. James plans to attend the awards ceremony partly to connect with a few other authors he’d love to chat with. “I don’t expect to win either, so there’s no pressure,” James laughed.

Bloom fundraiser spreads love for NICU By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca “Bloom: An Evening of Love celebrates the exceptional care offered at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Royal University Hospital, and helps ensure that care can continue. The annual event is in its sixth year. “NICU helps the tiniest little warriors that are born,” said Amy Novakovski, co- director for the event along with Tina Searcy. Both women have channeled their NICU experience into the fundraiser. Novakovski says the important work of NICU can be overlooked and it is their desire to draw attention to it and generate support. The 2017 celebration has notched up the entertainment side of things with the addition of music by Bruin. Mentalist Curtis Strauss is back with some sleight of hand and more. There’s both a silent auction and a live auction, which will be conducted by Tim Palmer and his crew. Julie Mintenko from Global News is hosting the event. “There’s also some pretty exciting prizes in the works! It will definitely be another year to remember,” said Novakovski.

Guests will have the opportunity to learn about NICU and hear from those who have benefited from its care, including Searcy and Novakovski. “Some people don’t necessarily understand what kind of care is provided at NICU and we’ve found the more we talk about Bloom, the more people are touched by NICU in one way or another.” Bloom has sold out each year, so it’s a good idea to get tickets early. Early Bird tickets will be available March 1. Those who purchase tickets in the month of March will be entered to win a sparkle ball earring and pendant set from Hillberg & Berk. “We’d love to get as many people as possible to come out and share this evening of love,” said Novakovski. The evening also remembers that not everyone gets to bring their baby home. “We remember those little warriors that gained their angel wings.” “Bloom: An Evening of Love” takes place May 13 at the Travelodge in Saskatoon. Cocktails begin at 6:00 p.m., followed by dinner. For tickets, visit picatic.com/bloomNICU17.

Who will share the pain of red ink? When it comes to sharing the pain of a hurting economy, you don’t see hands in the air. Unions made that clear last week when they expressed their displeasure with Premier Wall’s suggestion that government workers may have to take unpaid leave to help address the deficit. Despite the outrage, the Wall government is hardly the first to make this suggestion. In Manitoba, Premier Brian Pallister is considering something similar to address that province’s deficit. Ontario’s former premier, Bob Rae implemented ‘Rae Days’ in 1993 to address the province’s sagging economy at the time. Looking back, he expressed no regrets but says there can be an illusion that governments simply don’t run out of money. It’s a bit like kids who believe you only need to write a cheque to get what you want, or that a debit card is a free pass to endless cash. Like kids who don’t get what they want, when the government ‘runs out of money’ unions and citizens stomp their feet. However, the struggling economy is no respecter of persons - a range of sectors are feeling the pain, from the oilpatch to the construction industry, trades, commodity based industries and beyond. We’ve seen plenty of job cuts in the last several years and it’s tough to make the case that the public sector, one of the largest employers in the province, should remain unscathed. If the province does go ahead with unpaid days off, perhaps they could be distributed where they would trigger the least pain among a variety of government sectors and among employees, instead of a universal, one-size-fits-all approach. The government would need to provide an explanation on how they intend to mitigate the impact of the gaps left by absentee employees. The health care sector, including mental health, already appears stretched beyond capacity. Saskatchewan is not immune from the global movements in certain sectors. However, governments have to spend responsibly when they’re flush with cash and when they’re cash-strapped, and they have to answer for their spending. In both cases, voters also have a responsibility to look at how money is spent. Unfortunately, we currently have a government that is disinclined to explain its excesses. While it may be reassuring if Wall took ownership for some of the over-spending highlighted by critics on things like consultants, P3 projects, a bypass and the GTH land deal, thereby providing some hope of restraint going forward, that is unlikely to happen. Rae said when Ontario was feeling the crunch, he felt that doing firings would have been a big injustice and the fairer thing in the circumstances was to share the pain. You’ve heard the saying, ‘no pain, no gain.’ The current situation will benefit from willingness to be part of the solution, which may require short-term pain for longer-term gain. Mopping up an expanding pool of red ink is never easy and although unwelcome, ‘Wallidays’ may be the more palatable way to go.

The great flag debate almost tore Canada apart Last week our nation celebrated National Flag of Canada Day. Okay, maybe ‘celebrated’ is stretching things a bit. Perhaps ‘tolerated’ would be more accurate. In true low-key Canadian fashion, we sort of half-noted the occasion in passing. February 15, 1965 marked the unfurling of the distinctive red and white Maple Leaf on Parliament Hill for the first time. That’s when it officially replaced the Red Ensign as our national banner. This month marks the 52nd anniversary of that event. Most everybody takes the Maple Leaf flag for granted now. But it wasn’t always that way. Back in 1964, there was a huge debate that dominated newspaper headlines for the better part of a year. Traditionalists wanted to keep the Union Jack, or at least, the Red Ensign, as Canada’s flag. They felt that adopting a new flag was disrespectful to Canadian soldiers who fought and died for their country in two world wars. On the other hand, those who argued for a distinctive new flag felt Canada had ‘come of age’ and should shed its colonial-era baggage. Canada was only two years

away from 1967, its Centennial year, and the flag debate did much to encourage Canadians to think about their country’s history, present and future. Canadian nationalism was gaining momentum, politically and culturally, and the flag question helped kindle that flame. The flag debate was whitehot in 1964, but the first sparks actually started flying back in the late 1800s. Prior to Confederation in 1867, the colony of Canada had a succession of official flags, both the French fleur-de-lis and the British Union Jack. According to a University of Saskatchewan website (scaa.usask.ca/gallery/flagdisplay/flagquestion), the British Blue Ensign flag was authorized by the Crown in 1865 to be used for the colonies.

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

PHOTO GUIDELINES & TIPS

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

tom, this flag grew to be regarded as Canada’s flag, although officially, it could only be flown at sea. By 1924, the Red Ensign was elevated to semi-official status. It was authorized to be flown by the Canadian High Commissioner in London and the Canadian Embassy in Washington. But when Prime Minister Mackenzie King in 1925 proposed a new flag be considered and appointed a Parliamentary committee to look into the issue, he was burned so badly he dissolved the committee before it had a chance to report back. He never broached the subject again. Still, newspapers like the Winnipeg Free Press kept stirring the pot through the late 1920s and 1930s, even proposing designs that incorporated the maple leaf and the Big Dipper. In 1931, Cameron R. McIntosh, MP for North Battleford and owner of the newspaper in that city, introduced a private members bill suggesting a special all-party Parliamentary Committee study the issue. Similar private members bills were introduced in 1933, 1935 and 1938. They all went nowhere.

In 1946, a design that incorporated the Red Ensign with a gold maple leaf gained some traction for a while, but eventually was also canned. In 1962, John Diefenbaker gave lip service to the question of a new flag, but quietly let it slide. Lester Pearson was the Prime Minister who wanted the new flag. He actually had his heart set on a design that included two blue bars with three red maple leafs in the centre. Critics called it the “Bow Tie” flag because of Pearson’s penchant for that type of neckwear. In 1964, Canadian schoolchildren were invited to send in their designs for a new flag. I was 9 years old at the time and didn’t realize I couldn’t draw. I sent mine in but it didn’t make the cut, thankfully. In the end, an allparty Parliamentary committee picked the final design in September, 1964. The legislation recognizing the new flag was ratified in the House of Commons on December 15, 1964 at 2 o’clock in the morning. Parliament then adjourned, presumably for a round of drinks at an allnight pub in Hull across the river, after singing ‘O Canada.’

Two candidates running for Duck Lake council seat

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Two candidates are campaigning to become the newest Duck Lake town councillor. George Neufeld and Francene Okemaysim are running in a byelection aimed at filling a vacancy on council. The byelection is set for Wednesday, March 1. Duck Lake town administrator Janet Patry said during the general municipal elections last fall, there were only five candidates for the six Duck Lake town council positions. Currently the Duck Lake council includes Mayor Jason Anderson, and councillors Marcel Baynton, Thomas Gamble,

Nicole Lavoie, Donna Piche, and Jeannine Piche. Francene Okemaysim is a life-long resident of the area, having grown up on the nearby Beardy’s and Okemasis First Nation. She attended St. Michael’s School in Duck Lake, and works at the Willow Cree Healing Lodge at Beardy’s. She purchased her first home in Duck Lake five years ago. Okemaysim, who ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of Duck Lake in last October’s general election, said she’s glad to have another opportunity to get on council. “I think having an election for mayor resulted in a better voter turnout last fall,” she said in an inter-

Thin ice on ponds is not safe, fire chiefs warn Unseasonably warm weather has made the ice on stormwater reservoir ponds in urban areas unsafe. The Martensville Fire Department and Warman Fire Department both posted notices online last weekend advising residents to stay off local neighborhood ponds until further notice. Martensville Fire Chief

Kurt Dyck said arm weather has led to a deterioration of ice conditions on local ponds. The pond system is part of the municipal drainage system so the ponds have had a lot of running water diverted on to them over the past week. The conditions have made ponds unsafe to walk on or for any recreational use.

view on February 17. “I was disappointed not to win, but Jason (Anderson, the Mayor) is a friend of mine. He’s the one who encouraged me to run in the byelection. And I thought, ‘maybe that’s the right road to take, to gain experience and learn about council and how things work first.” Okemaysim said she wants to see closer cooperation between the town of Duck Lake and Beardy’s reserve in areas like firefighting and other essential services. She noted that young families from Beardy’s are increasingly moving into Duck Lake because there are more housing opportunities in town.

The Legacy Trust will be managed by a professional trustee with Royal Trust. The $4.5 million Treaty Annuities Settlement was deposited in The Legacy Trust.

because he was too new to the community. “I really wasn’t familiar enough with the town and the people,” he said. “And besides, I wasn’t eligible, because you have to reside in a community six months before you can run. “So when the byelection opportunity came up, I thought I would step forward.” Neufeld said he feels the town should work toward more recreational opportunities for young people. “I have two young sons that could benefit from stuff to do around town,” he said. “There’s not a lot for the kids to do here, and I think that should be a priority.”

He said one of the reasons he moved was the affordable housing in the community. “I’m interested in seeing what I can do to help out at the council table,” said Neufeld in a phone interview on February 15. “I don’t have any biases or preconceived ideas, so in that sense I think I can bring a fresh perspective to council. I’d like to try.” Neufeld said he didn’t run for council during the October 16, 2016 general election

“The two communities have always been closely intertwined,” she said. “But we need to strengthen the lines of communication and work together to make things better for both communities.” She said she wants to see more services and amenities in town, and rejuvenate buildings that are currently standing empty. She also wants to see a greater emphasis on promoting tourism. “Duck Lake is a very historic community,” she said. “We have outdoor murals. We have wonderful museums; but we also have recreational facilities like ball diamonds, a skating rink and

The First Nation will be able to borrow needed funds for community development using the Legacy Trust funds as security.

es, etc. Most of the members are retired from their “ jobs” as farmers, teachers, nurses, office workers, etc. So they have a variety of talents to offer. In the past two years, it became apparent the building badly needed updating in some areas. The two bathrooms were there when the building was purchased in 1981. So energy and water savings systems were definitely needed as well as modern stalls with wheelchair accessibility. The wheelchair ramp had been added to the original structure, and also needed upgrading. It will now handle the heavier power wheel-

chairs, and have additional lighting and stronger rails for safety. It was felt that these two renovations were necessary to attract more members, as well as user groups. Assistance was sought through a non matching federal grant. The members did not do any “hands on” work, but oversaw the project, by making decisions regarding the hiring of a contractor, as well as types of fixtures, flooring and painting materials. They also addressed small issues as they arose. The contractor was Manor Woodworks Inc. of Rosthern. The total cost for the project was $21,032. Funding was

provided by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program. Without this funding a project of this size would not have been possible. “The Government of Canada is proud to support the Rosthern Senior Citizens Club through the New Horizons for Seniors Program,” said the Honourable JeanYves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development. “The Club’s Go with the Flow renovation project will help improve facility access and comfort, making the club’s enhanced premises more conducive to hosting seniors activities.”

Diamond House: a new vision of aging in place

By HILARY KLASSEN hklassen@ccgazette.ca Diamond House is definitely not a diamond in the rough. It’s a polished care home born of a creative vision. Built by Golden Health Care, the new Warman home presents an innovative alternative to traditional and institutional models. Walk in and you’ll sense the difference immediately. “We wanted it to feel exactly like a home,” said owner and visionary, Heather Haupstein. Her quest for alternatives began when she was looking for a home for her grandmother in Weyburn. She decided to build one. Hilltop Manor was the first manifestation of a vision that kept expanding. Diamond House is the eighth home. “We don’t have nursing stations, we don’t have med carts and we don’t have uniforms or intercoms. We’re still providing the care they need in a homey environment, and it can be done. We’re proof!” Haupstein created six homes within one house to achieve that homey environment. Each home has a different theme, it’s own kitchen and dining room, activity and relaxation areas. “I do not like big dining rooms that hold hundreds of people, I like dining rooms that hold 20 people.” Another top priority is décor. “Décor is very important to me,” said Haupstein. “Whether its chairs curtains, flooring or lighting, when I do the designing every home has its unique colours, lighting and so forth, so it’s part of a small group that you identify.” Design is specifically planned to assist residents with dementia. Even the doors to each suite are a different colour, helping those with memory problems to orient themselves. It’s a secured home where doors are mostly invisible. “I use colour very differently where they see cueing, I’ll use very big art work, very big lights, different colour doors so they recognize the red door is my door or blue,” said Haupstein. Large paintings at the end of each hallway also functions like signposts, pointing the way home and also to various activity rooms: a large plant-themed painting points the way to one of the greenhouses, for example. The décor is generally along traditional lines that would feel familiar to today’s residents. One home was given a more modern decorating scheme. “Have I ever seen an increase in our rates of dementia and people with memory problems,” she said. “When we built Hilltop Manor, the first Golden Health Care home, we had about 10 per cent of our res-

Sunshine and beautiful decor invites residents at Diamond House to stop by for a coffee in this comfortable cafe-like space idents that suffer from dementia. Today in our homes we have about 85 per cent.” Haupstein was inspired by Margaret Calkins, an internationally recognized leader in environments for the elderly, especially Alzheimer’s. One of the big factors in the health and wellbeing of residents is that they have personal choice. At Diamond House there are no set schedules. Residents can sleep in and have breakfast when they want. “It’s not easy. You need the right

kind of thinking and we’ve been blessed with that. It’s not the resident conforming to us. We have to conform to the residents,” she said. Residents have a lot of control over the decisions of their every day life. It contributes to self-esteem. “It actually has a lot do to with the average life span of a resident. Our average life span at Golden Health Care is 8.5 years. That’s a long time.” Haupstein has a background in business administration and nursing. She has seen the negative results of

taking away the control of residents. Diamond House is pet friendly. Technically, there are actually eight homes, not six within one house, because there are a couple of little homes: a doghouse and a cathouse. “We always, always have animals. If residents have their four-legged friend, they’re always welcome to bring it into their home,” said Haupstein. Lower blood pressure is just one benefit of pet therapy. There are 11 sunrooms at Diamond House and they’re

Saskatchewan Population Growth Second in Canada

Saskatchewan cities, towns, villages and RMs continue to grow, according to the new Census population count by Statistics Canada. Saskatchewan’s 6.3% growth rate (2011-2016) was second-highest among the provinces with Saskatoon and Regina among the fastest-growing cities in Canada. All 16 Saskatchewan cities saw their populations increase by a total of 9.9%. Saskatchewan towns saw their populations increase by 2.7% while Saskatchewan villages saw their populations increase slightly by 0.5%. Rural municipalities saw their total populations increase by 1.1%. Someone once said that it would be impossible to grow our population by 100,000 people in 10 years. In that time, I’m proud to say that our province has grown by 130,000.

Diversified Food Production Key to Growth

not mainly for sitting, they’re for activities like wine-making (very popu-

lar), bead-making, puzzling, getting a massage, crafting, and one holds a library. Six different suite sizes are available, from a single to very large. They boast a kitchen sink, microwave, fridge, wardrobe and either a walk-in shower or a walkin tub. The care home provides all levels of care, and couples can stay together regardless of their level of care. The name ‘Diamond House’ tracks the history of Warman through railroad tracks. “I looked at the history of Warman and when it was originally a village it was called Diamond. The CN and CP railways made a diamond shape,” said Haupstein. She got a local photographer to capture some local railway images and created an artsy display in the foyer of the house as a nod to that history. Haupstein doesn’t develop in major centres. “There’s lots of choice for city people, and not as much for people from smaller centres. I just like that smaller community feel. I couldn’t have picked a better area with Warman.” For her Diamond House is “aging in the ‘right’ place.”

Saskatchewan’s economy is now stronger, more durable and more diversified than ever. Our growing strength in value-added food processing is one example. No longer just a primary producer of grains, oilseeds and other resources, companies are adding value to what we grow. There are now more than 300 food companies operating in the province that generate more than $4 billion in revenues and employ about 5,000 people. Saskatchewan exports have doubled in the last decade in part because of the success of these companies operating across the province. Saskatchewan ingredients are increasingly finding favour with consumers around the world. Saskatchewan flax, for example, is used in the cookies sold at Shanghai Disneyland while oats grown in Saskatchewan are a key ingredient in the Cheerios many of us eat for breakfast. A Saskatchewan company supplies hot dogs to Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners – and there’s a good chance the mustard on those hot dogs is made with Saskatchewan mustard seed. Meanwhile, Saskatchewan lentils and peas are used in Indian kitchens every day. 90% of India’s lentil imports, and more than 60% of its pea imports, are grown by Saskatchewan farmers. Our government will strive to ensure our food processors benefit from a welcoming business environment with competitive taxes and sensible regulations. We will also work internationally to raise awareness of what we have to offer and to protect and enhance access to markets.

Historic maps show long-range vision of Warman in 1920s By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca For the past 90 years, three unique maps have been collecting dust in dark corners of the Warman town office, and later in a filing cabinet in Warman City Hall. The maps, dating from 1927 and revised in the 1960s, were drawn up by town officials of the day to illustrate future growth plans for the community. Now, 90 years later, Warman has grown well beyond the borders imagined by those early planners. But the most interesting thing is how closely the current city map follows the pattern laid out nine decades ago, according to Sharon Martens of the Warman Historical Committee. “It’s quite remarkable in many respects,” said Martens in a presentation to Warman City Council recently. “There are many streets that bear the names of those that were projected in these early maps; streets like Elizabeth Street and Canora Street. They didn’t exist back then, of course, they

were just lines on a map.” Warman was incorporated in 1906 and is named after Cyrus Warman, a popular author and journalist of the day who also did publicity work for the Grand Trunk and Canadian Northern Railway companies. Warman was one of many communities created during the construction of the Canadian Northern line in 1904 along a route that ran parallel to the 1876 Dominion Telegraph line. The village, situated at the junction with the rail line connecting Saskatoon to Prince Albert, was originally known as “Diamond” because of the diamond shape made by the intersecting tracks. Ironically, the 1927 maps depicting the optimistic projected growth of the town were published the same year that Warman’s population had shrunk to fewer than 100 people. A disastrous fire in 1908 and a devastating tornado in 1910 were huge setbacks for the budding community, and in 1927 the village reverted to unincorporated hamlet status within the Rural Mu-

Warman once again achieved incorporated village status in 1962 when its population reached about 700 residents. It became a town in 1966 and a city in 2012. Currently the population of the growing city is about 11,000 people. The 1927 maps were found when administrative staff with Warman’s planning and economic development

departments were going through old files and cataloguing documents earlier this winter, said Martens. Warman Economic Development Officer Josh Welz said it was apparent the maps had tremendous historical value, not just for the City of Warman, but for the region as a whole. “When we realized what we had found, it was quite a surprise,” said Welz. “We figured something should be done to preserve these docu-

ments.” Welz turned the maps over to Martens and the Warman Historical Committee. The committee, in turn, began making arrangements to make the maps accessible to the public while at the same time protecting the aging paper documents from deteriorating further. In a presentation to Warman City Council on Monday, January 23, Martens outlined a proposal to have two of the maps dry-

mounted and framed behind glass, where they would then be put on display in two prominent locations in civic buildings. City councillors voted to pay the cost of framing one map, while the history committee will pay the cost of the second map. The third map will be preserved and filed in the city archives. High-resolution photographs of the maps will also be taken to ensure the images are preserved in digital form.

Students to get crash course on dealing with collisions

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca A Martensville autobody shop wants to give young drivers a better understanding of why collisions happen, and how to deal with the aftermath. High school students from Martensville, Warman, Dalmeny and Langham will get an opportunity to learn from the experts at a “Safe Driving for the Next Generation” workshop at Speedy Collision in Martensville on Friday, March 17.

At the workshop, representatives from the local RCMP, Fire Department, First Responders, paramedics and SGI will explain what happens when an accident occurs, the steps to take at the accident site and after the incident. Students will also learn about the new provincial laws on distracted driving and impaired driving, and view demonstrations of vehicle extrications by firefighters. Rob Keet, co-owner of Speedy Collision, said the

objective is to support the youth in the community and give them some “basic knowledge” that will help them become better drivers. “Because of the business we’re in, we’ve been involved in similar types of presentations in the past, but those were more directed toward our insurance partners,” said Keet in an interview on Friday, February 17. “We felt there was a need for a more general approach that gives young drivers some very key infor-

mation that they may need to draw on at some point in the future.” Keet said two workshops are planned that day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Students will be bussed from the schools to the autobody repair shop, where the sessions will be held. “The schools are all onside with the idea,” said Keet. “The format is for each presenter to talk about a different aspect. For example, the RCMP will explain

the new laws and the dangers of texting or drinking and driving.” A key element in the workshop is providing students with information on what to do if they have an accident or if they witness an accident. Keet said if young drivers don’t know what to do, they could panic and make things worse. “The number one question we get from the public, and that’s people of all ages, not just young drivers, af-

ter an accident is, ‘now what do I do?’,” said Keet. “We tell them the steps they should follow as the claim is processed.” Keet said he wants to hold these workshops annually. “That’s why we’re targeting Grade 10 and 12 students,” he said. “It’s a way of cycling alternate years.” Martensville City Council will consider a funding request by organizers to help offset student bus transportation costs at its meeting on Tuesday, February 21.

Dear Residents: The purpose of our newsletter is to provide all residents in Warman & area with information as to what is happening in business, sport and our community. We believe it is important that as a learning and highly-involved community, we share this information with everyone. Please feel free to call Jennifer (306-933-2210) if you have suggestions or information for our newsletter.

Economic Development Committee Report

Hello from Mayor and Council, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success” Henry Ford The City of Warman is the fastest growing community in the province, and in Canada. Our community has lots to offer, and the word is out, Warman is the best place to live, work, play, and to retire. Our vision for our community reaches far past today and stretches into the years ahead. The residents of our community will always be our priority and our greatest asset. Our vision and mission statements below provide the pathway for our success as we move forward.

Census Great news for existing and prospective businesses alike: The 2016 National Census is in and Warman was the star! Since 2011 Warman led the nation in population growth (up by 50%) through the addition of 3,916 people to our community. 11,020 people now call Warman home and the growth has caught the attention of the business community as evidenced by the opening of over 10 new storefront businesses this past year. Welcome New Businesses I would like to welcome the following new businesses to the City of Warman. We welcome Santosha Yoga, Warman WOK and Great Canadian Oil Change. Thank you for your investment in our community.

Mission Statement Warman’s leadership group is committed to progressively building a community through the strength of partnerships in a fiscally responsible and visionary approach, in order that we continue to grow in a managed fashion while preserving and enhancing the unique features that make Warman our home.

Saskatoon Home Styles Show The City of Warman will have a booth at Saskatoon Home Styles Show, which runs from Thursday March 9th to Sunday March 12th. If you are attending the show make sure you stop by to say hello!

Vision The Community of Warman seeks to promote and support a high quality of livability and opportunities for its stakeholders. Through thoughtful leadership and a diverse team approach, we envision a safe and caring community. Our citizens with their pride and commitment to our community, will always be central to our success.

Business Breakfast Also, the bi-annual Business Breakfast, co-hosted by the City of Warman, Great Plains College and the Warman Chamber of Commerce is scheduled for April 11.

One of our partners, SREDA (Saskatoon and Region Economic Development Association) created this information update that gives an insight of our growth over that last few years.

New City of Warman Website Finally, the City is re-developing its website and is soliciting feedback from citizens. If you would like to contribute, please follow the link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/77MLJ8Z . Respectfully submitted, Councillor Brian Jones Economic Development Lead

**The above exert is taken from the SREDA Regional Update : Census 2016 released this year.

Thank you and congratulations to everyone in the City of Warman!! We are so glad that you are part of our community and so proud that you have all chosen to “Call It Home”. Respectfully submitted, Mayor Sheryl Spence

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.

Planning, Development, and Transportation The Census data was released on February 8, 2017 and it shows Warman as the fastest growing Municipality in Canada with growth over four years at just over 55%. The City of Warman continues to be prepared for future growth in terms of infrastructure and land servicing. Capital Projects Administration is working with our engineers to complete design on some of our larger capital projects that will take place this spring including, but not limited to: Pavement Management, 6th Avenue Improvements, Water Reservoir, Fire Hall Expansion, Prairie Oasis Park Completion, Drainage Upgrades, and MR 2 Completion. Transportation In the area of transportation, the speed limit increases and traffic signals have been a welcomed change to people coming and going from Warman. We will continue to monitor the progress and the timing of the lights making small changes as needed. We are also looking at options for Centennial Blvd around Greenview estates with the center median and access. Updated information about everything in Warman is always available at Warman.ca or by “liking” the City of Warman Facebook page. Respectfully submitted, Councillor Gary Philipchuk Planning, Development, and Transportation Lead

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2017

Delisle’s Sylvia Chave pumped about Telemiracle appearance By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca After performing in front of enthusiastic audiences for more than two decades, you might think Sylvia Chave would be nonchalant about an upcoming gig. “Are you kidding? It’s Telemiracle,” Chave said in a recent interview. “I’m really excited. It reaches such a huge audience, and it’s for such a great cause.” The Delisle singer-songwriter is slated to be in the spotlight on Telemiracle sometime between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, March 5. She recently returned from two sell-out concerts in Alberta, where she performed for a total of 500 children. Her material is aimed at pre-schoolers and youngsters in Kindergarten to Grade 3, and her shows are a mixture of monologue, jokes, music, bizarre cos-

tumes and of course, music. “I write all my own songs, and it seems the busier I get with concerts the less time I have for writing, so I have to block out time to devote to putting pen to paper,” said Chave. “I want to make sure my songs are fresh and new, especially when I’m doing concerts in communities where I’ve played before.” Despite being a veteran on the children’s music scene, this is Chave’s first appearance on Telemiracle. It wasn’t the first time she’s auditioned for it, however. In the early 1990s, she was one-half of the musical duo known as “Prairie Patch,” which also included her friend Claire Pattison. The pair auditioned but didn’t make the cut. “I was so hurt at the time, and was very reluctant to try again,” she said. “But after so many years, I thought, well, I’ll give it one

more shot. And this time, they gave me the thumbsup.” She said the audition was fun but challenging. “They only give you four minutes, but as a children’s entertainer, I’m okay with that. “Most kids don’t have a very long attention span, and I can cram quite a bit into four minutes. I felt confident, but also had a little nagging doubt in the back of my mind. “So when they called and told me I was on the show I was absolutely thrilled. I’m still excited!” Chave’s fan base is continually growing as she plays regular concert series in Saskatoon four times a year. She’s also marketing her own CDs and her music is available online at iTunes, Galaxy and Apple Music. Her website is singingwithsylvia.com .

Martensville RCMP respond to altercation RCMP officers responded to a “physical altercation” at the Adobe Inn in Martensville around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 15. According to RCMP F Division spokesperson Paul Dederick, there were no weapons involved. “At this point, the investigation is still ongoing,” said Dederick in an interview from

RCMP Regina headquarters on Thursday, February 16. “We aren’t able to provide details at this time.” The RCMP spokesperson was unable to say whether charges are pending against any of the persons involved or whether there were any serious injuries resulting from the altercation.

An 18-year-old Saskatoon woman is facing charges of trafficking in fentanyl following an investigation by members of the Saskatoon Integrated Drug Enforcement Street Team (SIDEST). On February 14, 2017 at approximately 4:30 p.m., investigators observed what they believed to be drug transactions taking place in a parking lot at Moss Avenue and 8th Street East. They arrested the 18-yearold woman at the scene. She was found to be in possession of 44 fentanyl pills and cash. A 24-year-old Saskatoon man was also ar-

rested at the scene. A subsequent search was conducted at a home in the 800 block of Reid Road where officers located additional fentanyl pills, a knife and bear spray. The 18-year-old woman is facing charges of Trafficking (fentanyl), Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking (fentanyl), Possession of the Proceeds of Crime, and Possession of a Weapon (x2). She was also wanted on an outstanding warrant of apprehension. The 24-year-old man is facing a charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance (fentanyl).

The Warman RCMP is requesting the public’s assistance in locating a 15-yearold youth who was last seen leaving a residence in the RM of Corman Park between Martensville and Warman. Janomie Desmeueles was last seen leaving the residence between Martensville and Warman on Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2017 at approximatelly 8:30 PM.

Desmeueles is described as an Aboriginal male, approximately 5’9” tall and weighing 170 lbs. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie and black pants. He is also known to wear glasses. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Janomie Desmeueles is asked to contact the Warman RCMP at 306-975-1670 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Senior Girls B’ball Round-up

The Senior Girls have been very busy this past month with tournament play in Melfort, VCA, and North Battleford. The girls came up against some tough competition in Melfort as the team finished 4th out of 8. After beating Moose Jaw Central on Friday, the girls lost to Carlton and North Battleford Comp. on Saturday. In VCA, the girls placed 2nd. The Girls defeated a tough Keneston squad on Friday, and then defeated Lashburn to advance to the final against Regina Christian. The Girls fought hard, but fell 45-42. The Girls also play at the North Battleford Comp. (VIT) tourney in February. March will be busy with the PA Carlton tourney in early March and then play-offs for a chance to head to Hoopla.

Community involvement key to reducing crime: RCMP

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The number one priority for RCMP detachments across Saskatchewan is “community engagement,” according to RCMP Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki. “That’s where public safety starts,” said Zablocki in an interview at the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) convention on Wednesday, February 8. “We need to

have open lines of communication with elected officials and the public so that we can build strong partnerships. The public shouldn’t hesitate to pick up the phone and report a crime or incidences of suspicious behaviour or suspicious activity. “We need to know about these occurrences so that we can allocate resources accordingly,” he added. Zablocki said he is encouraging detachments to

hold “town hall meetings” in communities throughout their coverage area to discuss issues of concern. Regular meetings with elected municipal officials is also encouraged, he added. The Warman-Martensville RCMP detachment regularly reports to elected representatives, including Warman and Martensville city councils, as well as issuing a weekly report in the Gazette. Zablocki encouraged

SUMA delegates to initiate programs like Neighbourhood Watch and Citizens on Patrol to provide assistance to police. Another program that municipalities could tap into is the Community Safety Officer (CSO) initiative currently being rolled out by the provincial Ministry of Justice. Under the program, training is offered to Community Safety Officers to provide additional support to police. CSOs address

high-priority but low-risk concerns such as enforcing the Traffic Safety Act and engaging in crime prevention initiatives at the community level. Municipalities pay the cost of CSOs. “Fully-trained police officers should be focused on high-priority core policing activities, including highrisk crimes like armed robberies,” said Zablocki. “A Community Safety Officer can free up the police to focus on serious crimes.”

Zablocki said community organizations like Neighbourhood Watch are also valuable. “We think these initiatives need to be communityowned and community-delivered,” said Zablocki. “The police are there to support them, but the communities do need to take ownership of these initiatives. These are complex, diverse concerns and no single approach or single agency is going to be the total answer.”

Digital government: sound bites from the recent SUMA convention Ryan Androsoff, Senior Advisor, Digital Government for the federal government spoke to SUMA delegates about governing in the digital world. Following are some of his key points: • There are digital gaps in government. Digital is starting to underpin everything we do. We have to have the capacity inside our organizations to understand and be able to play in that world. • “Culture eats strategy for breakfast” is a common saying. Androsoff says incentives eat culture and structures eat incentives. If we’re truly going to transfer our organizations to be more digital, we need to rethink how our organizations are structured and the way incentives work. If we don’t, there’s going to be a constant pullback to the way things used to be and the way we’re used to working. • “Build it and they will come” works only in the movies.

SUMA convention wraps up in Saskatoon More than 1,000 delegates from towns, villages, cities, and northern municipalities across Saskatchewan attended SUMA’s 112th Annual Convention, the first since the 2016 municipal elections. A new SUMA executive includes: President — Councillor Gordon Barnhart, Town of Saltcoats Vice-President of Towns — Mayor Rodger Hayward, Town of Naicam Vice-President of Villages, Resort Villages, and North-

ern Municipalities — Mayor Mike Strachan, Village of Torquay Saskatoon/Regina Executive Member — Councillor Darren Hill, City of Saskatoon Northern Regional Director — Mayor Bobby Woods, Northern Village of Buffalo Narrows SUMA delegates passed eight policy resolutions, including ones on fair taxation on provincial park residences, carbon pricing, and water quality assurance.

Public Notice Bylaw 2017-02

Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the City of Warman intends to adopt a bylaw to amend Bylaw 2013-17, known as the Animal Control Bylaw.

We need not just digital services that are useful for us, but we have to invest in digital services that are useful to our citizens. • Mainstreaming some of the innovations in digital takes new skills. Any new technology has peaks and troughs. It’s tough to jump that chasm using old skills. New skills are needed. • Demographics are destiny. Millenials are the last decade to come into public service. They are a bigger generation than baby boomers. Too often in government we plan for where we are and not for where we’re going. Wayne Gretzky said, you’ve got to skate to where the puck is going, not where it is. We need to modernize government not only for 2017 but for 20 years down the road. • The quick wins are done. It’s time for the tough stuff. Now we’re moving into both a challenging and exciting period within the next five to 10 years, to say how, in many cases, are we going to have to reshape our organizations, our systems of government, our ways of

Peewee A Marauders advance in provincial playoffs By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Martensville Peewee A Marauders advanced to the SHA Peewee A northern provincial final after defeating the Battleford Barons 9-2 in Game 2 of the twogame, total points series, on Monday, February 20. Martensville also beat the Barons 4-1 in Game 1, and won the series 13 goals to 3. The Marauders will play Warman in the next round. Martensville jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period but the Barons tied the game later in the period. Even though the Marauders were still leading in the series at that point, coach Stew Pearce noticed that some of the players were nervous. “The nerves were there, and then it just took them a bit to calm down. Once they calmed down they handled it pretty good,” Pearce said. The contest was still tied

at two goals in the second frame but at the end of the period Martensville led 4-2. The Marauders netted five goals in the final period to go onto win the game and the series. Pearce thought the whole team played well throughout the game but also noticed the leadership from the more experienced players. “We had a lot of hustle, but the second year’s carried us through it. They been here before, so they know what they’re up against. And we tired them out, and we skated very well,” Pearce said. Pearce said that the team will be ready for the series against Warman as he believes both teams will give it their all to come out on top. “It’ll be a good rivalry. A lot of unfinished business from the past years, so it’ll be a good series,” Pearce said.

Warman Peewee A Wildcats down Humboldt in provincials

Warman Wildcats goaltender Nikolas Hrapchak makes a save on a Humboldt Broncos player during a Pee Wee A provincial playoff game in Warman on Saturday, February 18

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Warman Wildcats beat the Humboldt Broncos 4-3 in Warman on Saturday, February 18 to punch their ticket to the next round of provincial Peewee A playoffs. Carter Peters scored the Wildcats’ opening goal less than a minute into the game, and added the final goal midway through the final frame. Parker Erickson and Rhett Fischer picked up the other two Warman markers. Warman goaltender Nikolas Hrapchak played his best game of the season, turning away 44 of 47 shots by a determined Humboldt squad. The Wildcats got off to a quick start on Peters’ early goal, but Humboldt’s Rayden Ottmann scored a shorthanded goal to tie the game

and added a power play marker to give the visitors the lead heading into the first intermission. Warman scored twice in the second period. Parker Erickson was stopped on a penalty shot attempt, but made up for it a few minutes later on a power play, beating Humboldt goaltender Zachary Holaday. Rhett Fischer gave Warman the lead on his goal thirty seconds later. Humboldt tied the game early in the third, but Peters restored Warman’s lead midway through the final frame. Warman had beaten Humboldt 4-3 in the first game of the two-game, total point series. Warman coach Bevin Guenther gave high marks to the Humboldt players and coaches, noting the Broncos first line presented a big

scoring threat. “I challenged three of our kids, Maddy Evans, Jayden Osler-Eberle and Lucas Obrigewitch, to take away Humboldt’s time and space,” said Guenther. “They were my checking line. They’d never done that before, and they really stepped up.” Guenther said he also relied heavily on two defense partners, Jake Kessler and Kendall Guenther, against Humboldt’s big line. “Those players got a lot of ice time, but I’m brutally honest with the kids,” said Guenther. “Winning matters. Warman has won peewee provincials four years in a row, and we want to make it five in a row.” (This includes both peewee B and A categories.) Warman now faces Martensville in the next round.

Warman weightlifters compete at nationals

By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca Eighteen-year-old Jack Nash and 14-year-old Tori MacDonald competed in the 2017 Canadian Junior Weightlifting Championships in Brossard, Quebec last month. The two Warman youth enjoyed the experience. “It was unreal. I never expected it to be on a platform that big,” Nash said. “It was really a one of a kind experience.” MacDonald said she was able to learn more about the sport from the other girls she competed with. “It was really awesome to watch them, just how they warmed up and lifted. And everything about it (the national championships) was really good,” MacDonald said.

Both athletes have only been training for the sport for about a year and have already had success by competing in this event. Nash competed in the 94-kilogram male weight class and MacDonald performed in the 69-kilogram female category. Even though they each finished near the bottom of their respective categories, just to make it to nationals was an accomplishment of its own. Throughout the competition, MacDonald knew she wasn’t the top competitor but did the best she could. “From what I could lift, I did well for myself. But compared to the other girls, they could lift way more. I’ve only done this for a year and the other girls have been doing it for four years,” Mac-

Donald said. Both athletes got their first taste of competition last October within the Saskatchewan Weightlifting Association. They devote a lot of hours to extensive training in the gym. “The (weightlifting) season starts in October and ends in April,” Nash said. “We get probably a month break and then we start again.” Nash said he trains for the sport three to four times a week during weightlifting season. And when he’s not doing that, he’s at the gym doing CrossFit and that also helps keep him in shape throughout the year. Along with weightlifting, MacDonald also competes in the Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA Hockey League with the Battleford Sharks.

“I have to manage time with weightlifting and hockey, so it’s hard. I don’t train as much as he (Nash) does for weightlifting but I still try to do as much as he does,” MacDonald said. Both athletes train at the 306 Reebok CrossFit Gym in Saskatoon. They both started training for the sport around the same time. However, they were introduced to weightlifting differently. Nash played lacrosse and hockey. But he can’t participate in those activities now because he’s had too many concussions. After not being involved in any sport for a period of time, he started working out at the gym he trains in now. “I saw that there was a (CrossFit) gym by where I work and I was like ‘I don’t

Rosthern has edge over Warman in series By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Rosthern Wheat Kings earned a 4-1 victory over the Warman Wildcats in Game 1 of the Twin Rivers Hockey League playoff semifinals, on Friday February 17. Despite finishing lower in the league standings, the Wildcats were the only team to beat the Wheat Kings in regulation time during the regular season. But the Wheat Kings found a way to win the first game in the best-of-five series. “They come at you hard, they’re a bigger team than us, but we just got to keep skating, we got to use our speed against them and I think that was eventually what prevailed,” said Rosthern Wheat Kings player Matt Pilon. Right from the drop of the puck, Warman put some pressure on the Wheat Kings and generated a couple shots, but couldn’t find the back of the net. It wasn’t too long when Rosthern started to spend some time in the Wildcats’ zone and the Wheat Kings struck first. Kyle Aucion fired a shot right in front of the net and he collected his own rebound and the second shot went past Warman goaltender Jordan Locke. Both teams were physical throughout the period, and at one point players from op-

even know what CrossFit is’. So I started doing CrossFit and then I learned the two movements (of weightlifting), the snatch and the clean and jerk,” Nash said. “From there it progressed, and the coach came up to me and said ‘hey do you want to try this (weightlifting) program? I think you will be really good at it’.” Nash was nervous about the program at first but after he started training on a regular basis, he really got into it. MacDonald’s mom introduced her to CrossFit as it was a great way to train and get in shape for hockey. “Two summers ago, I started doing CrossFit and I really liked it. And then there’s a program for weightlifting,” MacDonald said. “I had to go every now and then just to try it out because I really like doing snatches and clean and jerks.” Nash and MacDonald have just one more competition left before the weightlifting season concludes.

Both youth want to continue to compete in weightlifting in years to come. Nash can compete in the junior division for at least one more year, and MacDonald will be competing in the junior division for the next six years.

posing teams had to be separated by refs. Rosthern led 1-0 after 20 minutes of play and both teams had equal scoring chances as each club generated 13 shots each. Warman was able to capitalize on a power play in the second period, which tied the game. Shayden Regush made a nice cross-ice pass to Doug Harms, who was able to find some open net for the Wildcats’ lone goal of the contest. Later on in the period, Rosthern had a 5-on-3 power play but couldn’t capitalize on the two-man advantage as Locke made a couple of great saves. But the Wheat Kings were able to score with the man advantage shortly after, as Matt Hildebrandt scored the goal. “They were taking a lot of penalties so we needed to

capitalize on a lot of them for sure, and when that one happened, it was big for us,” Pilon said. The Wheat Kings had the edge throughout the second period and led 2-1 going into the final period, as it was still anybody’s game to win. Rosthern scored another two goals in the third period to go on to win the contest. Tyler Olsen and Matt Pilon were the goal scorers. Even though the Wheat Kings led the majority of the game, Pilon admitted that they did have a slow start. “We had a bye in the first round so we had a little bit of rust to kick off and they played the first round,” Pilon said. “So I think that first period was just kind of getting our legs going and getting our feet under us and once we did I think we played a lot better.” Pilon

Cougars victorious in provincial semifinal

By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Clavet Peewee D Cougars got off to a good start in the SHA Peewee D northern provincial semifinals by defeating the Big River Blackhawks 4-3 in Game 1 of the two-game, total goal series. In the first period, Birch Hills had the momentum early on and scored the game’s first goal. However, it didn’t take the Cougars too long to respond, and they later tied the game. After a blocked shot, Oakland Flodell gained posession of the loose puck and scored.

With 41 seconds left in the opening period, Flodell netted his second goal of the game and the Cougars led 2-1 going into the second period. Big River tied up the game early in the second period. Less than a minute after that goal, Brock Dufort lit the lamp, which gave Clavet a 3-2 lead. Clavet started taking multiple penalties around the midway point of the period, giving the Blackhawks a chance to tie the game and possibly take the lead. At one point, the Cougars were on a 5-on-3 penalty kill, but didn’t allow a goal. “It’s tough to kill those

(penalties) and then stay on top and we didn’t give up any power play goals, so that worked out good,” said Cougars coach Callen Dufort, Shortly after the Cougars were done killing penalties, the momentum shifted toward their side, which led to a goal. Kristopher Morrison won a face off in Birch Hills’ zone and then skated the puck to the net and scored. Clavet had a couple more scoring chances after that to add to the lead, but still led 4-2 after 40 minutes of play. The Blackhawks pulled within one goal in the third

period and Birch Hills had just over 10 minutes to tie the game. Clavet’s defense stood strong throughout the period and the Cougars were able to hold onto the onegoal lead for the win. Even though the Cougars won the contest Dufort said they are treating it like an extended game. “Right from the beginning, we said it’s a six period game so we’re only halfway through the game. It’s 4-3 and we go into that next game just right where we left off,” Dufort said. The last couple of years, Big River as eliminated Clavet from the provincial tournament in the peewee division, but Dufort hopes that this year the Cougars come on top. “So last year we lost by

Saskatoon Stars head into playoffs on winning note By TERESA SHIRLEY teresa.shirley@sasktel.net The Saskatoon Stars finished their 2016-2017 regular season with a team best total of 76 points. They had an impressive 159 goals for and 37 goals against. Five of the top ten scorers in the league are athletes on the Saskatoon Stars. Of the top three goalies in the league- two belong to the Saskatoon Stars. Jordan Ivanko with a 0.939 save percentage and Arden Kliewar with a 0.923 save percentage.

bers that will make this their third straight first place finish in the SFMAAAHL.

Three wins in three days for Prairie Outlaws By MACKENZIE HIENTZ mackenzie@ccgazette.ca The Prairie Outlaws schedule saw them play three games on consecutive days and they came out on top in each of those contests. In Prairie’s latest game on Sunday, February 19, they defeated the Wilkie Outlaws 4-1, in Game 1 of the SHA Senior A northern provincial semifinals. The contest was in Waldheim and the Outlaws responded from the energy of the big crowd by scoring the game’s first goal. Russel Goodman scored the goal. Wilkie tied the game later in the period, but the home team responded with two more goals and led 3-1 after the first period. Brett Blatz and Brennan Bosch were the goal scorers. Getting that two-goal lead was important for Prairie. “That was huge. Getting up two goals on them, we could just play our game and then take care of our end ... and

that made a huge difference,” said Prairie coach Gary Schultz. Goodman scored the only goal of the second period and Prairie held Wilkie scoreless the last two periods. This win was important for Prairie as they lead the best-of-three series 1-0. “It’s huge, and we’ve never played them before. So we didn’t know what to expect but they’re a good club,” Schultz said. What impressed Schultz the most about the win was that it was a full team effort. “It’s a team game, we played well right from the back end all the way up to the front. “Everyone played a tough game and that’s what we’ve got to do for the rest of the way,” Schultz said. Game 2 of the series is on Saturday, February 25 in Wilkie. Also, Prairie recently moved on to the FCHL final after beating the Wakaw

After a shot on net by Russel Goodman (11), both teams try to get control of the loose puck during a game against Wilkie on Sunday, February 19 Lakers in four games. The Outlaws won 4-2 on Friday, February 17, in Game 2 of the series and the following day defeated the Lakers 3-2. Schultz was proud with the effort the team showed throughout both games. “We dug deep, we worked hard and it just worked out

to our favour.” Schultz said. Schultz know that playing three games in three nights is a daunting task but was happy with the overall results “It was a tough weekend. We were asking a lot out of our guys to play three games in three nights,” he said.

Schultz knows all the hard work the team puts in to compete in each game and he is appreciative of their effort. “These guys, they dig deep, they work hard, but it’s a team in that (locker) room, and everybody works together and they’re easy to coach.” 17024LM1 17024LM2 17024LM3 17024LM4
