Province fails to come up with funding

The provincial govern-ment’s decision to not allocate any funding for a flood con-trol project in north Corman Park is “very disappointing,” says the Chair of the Opimihaw Creek Watershed Association (OCWA). Ben Buhler said the OCWA was counting on the provincial government earmarking a sig-nificant sum in the upcoming provincial budget for the pro-posed “Osler Ditch” – a $13.9 million drainage project that could potentially alleviate a major part of the flood problem in the area west of Osler and between Warman and Martens-vile. The Osler Ditch is one of several inter-related drainage projects for the area that col-lectively could cost almost $59 million. But the OCWA received word last week that there would be no money for the project in the 2014-15 provincial budget, which is set to be released on March 19. That means that no construc-tion work on the project will be able to take place this year, said

By TERRY [email protected]

Buhler. The OCWA will, however, continue with a previously-an-nounced engineering study to determine the parameters of the drainage infrastructure needed for the proposed Osler Ditch. The OCWA – made up of the municipalities of Corman Park, Warman, Osler, Martens-ville and Dalmeny – has com-mitted to paying 25 per cent of the cost of the engineering study, or about $10,000. The province is contributing the re-maining 75 per cent of the cost of the $40,000 study. Once the study is complete, the project will be “shovel-ready,” said Buhler, adding that if provincial or federal funding becomes available, the OCWA will apply right away. But without provincial fund-ing in this year’s budget, the project can’t proceed this spring, he noted. Buhler said the OCWA is do-ing as much as it can with the resources available. But the municipalities simply can’t af-ford to finance the project on their own. “I’m a little bit distraught right now because we were counting on that commitment

from the province,” said Buhler in an interview on Thursday, March 6. “Now the municipal-ities have to figure out if they should set aside funds for the project – which may or may not happen– or concentrate on their own immediate infrastructure needs when they set their own budgets. It’s a tough call.”

LOBBY EFFORTS Buhler said the OCWA has been lobbying the province on the issue. Attempts to have representatives of the provin-cial government attend the last several monthly OCWA meet-ings at the Corman Park of-fice in Saskatoon proved un-successful. It wasn’t until a hastily-arranged meeting with Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff took place during the Saskatchewan Urban Mu-nicipalities Association con-vention in Regina that munic-ipal officials were able to state their case to the Minister and Saskatchewan Water Securi-ty Agency (WSA) President Wayne Dybvig. At that meeting, both Chev-eldayoff and Dybvig said the OCWA projects were a high pri-ority.

OPimihaw Creek PrOjeCt

“At that meeting, Mr. Dyb-vig told us to continue our en-deavours to move ahead with the Osler Ditch,” said Buhler. “I asked him when can we expect to find out if money will be al-located in the budget and I was told to give him a call at the end of February. “We had an OCWA meet-ing scheduled for February 25, so I called him for an update, and he told me there is no fund-ing available in the 2014 bud-get,” continued Buhler. “So that means we are not getting any dollars from government this year.” Buhler said Dybvig indicat-ed the province would work with the federal government to cost-share a funding arrange-ment in the future, “but that still doesn’t help us for 2014. We know there will be no funding in place and, basically, we are at a standstill with the project.” Buhler said he is looking to set up a meeting for OCWA member municipalities after the upcoming Saskatchewan Association of Rural Munici-palities (SARM) convention in mid-March. “We’ll see where we go from there,” he stated.

Water management focus of upcoming conferenceBy TERRY PUGH

[email protected]

While many communities across the province are gear-ing up for potential floods this spring, farmers in some areas of Saskatchewan are wondering if there’s enough soil moisture to seed a crop in a few weeks. In a province that’s still haunted by the devastating de-cade-long drought of the 1930s, few issues are as important as water. A major conference on “The Future of Water Management in Saskatchewan” is slated to take place in Saskatoon March 19-21 in Saskatoon. The con-ference, organized jointly by the Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds (SAW) and the Saskatchewan Conservation and Development Association (SCDA), will focus on protect-ing and conserving source wa-ter for future generations while meeting the needs of current economic growth. “Water is so important for ev-eryone,” said Ben Buhler, May-or of Osler and Chair of the or-

ganizing committee for the conference. “It’s the common denominator for everything from wildlife conservation to industrial development.” Buhler, a former dairy farm-er, has a passionate interest in ecology and understands the vi-tal role of wetlands. But he is also a pragmatist who wants to promote sustainable econom-ic development and growth for the region and the province. He believes a balance can be achieved among all the compet-ing demands for water use. Buhler is Chair of the Opimi-haw Creek Watershed Associa-tion, a Director with the South Saskatchewan River Water-shed Stewards Inc., and is also Treasurer for SAW. That’s a lot of different hats, but all those groups share many common objectives and Buhler believes it’s important to look at the big picture when it comes to water management. That’s one of the reasons the SAW is jointly co-sponsoring the conference this year, said Buhler. “Every year we put on an an-

nual conference, and it’s always about water, but this year it fo-cuses specifically on the future of water management in this province,” he said. “There’s a lot of overlap between SAW and the Conservation and De-velopment Association, so we thought we’d try to work to-gether.”

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE Buhler said the keynote speaker for the conference is Dr. Patricia Gober, a professor at the University of Saskatch-ewan who works closely with the Global Institute of Water Se-curity. She will focus on “Wa-ter Security in the Canadian Prairies: Science and Manage-ment Challenges.” Another ma-jor speaker is Cliff Smith, who was the chief engineer oversee-ing the construction of the Gar-diner Dam at Lake Diefenbaker in the 1960s. “Cliff is getting up in years now, but he’s still very articu-late and very interesting to lis-ten to,” said Buhler. “He doesn’t always agree with how the gov-ernment is operating the dam.”

The conference will also fea-ture an update on the prov-ince’s 25-year water securi-ty plan from officials with the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA). There will be a panel discus-sion on the industrial use of water, said Buhler. “The speakers are mainly from the oil and potash indus-tries,” he said. “I realize the Fortune Minerals proposed re-finery in the area could also come up for discussion, but it’s not specifically on the agenda.” Two farm tours are also planned to dairy farms in the Osler area which utilize en-vironmentally-friendly tech-niques. “We’ll be touring Ken Klas-sen’s farm which utilizes a ro-bot milker, and also the Corne-lius farm which uses a manure management process to clean and recycle dried manure for bedding in the stalls of the 800 cows they milk,” said Buhler. who noted the conference is open to the public. “We wel-come everyone. I would be very glad to see a big turnout.”

Communities preparefor possible floodingBy TERRY PUGH

[email protected]

Will there be flooding this spring? It all depends on what Mother Nature de-cides to do over the next six weeks, according to Dwayne Rowlett, Manager of Northern Regional Services with the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA). “A slow melt would be nice,” Rowlett told a gathering of municipal officials at a meeting in Warman on Thursday, March 6. “We would like to see conditions where the temperature is about 5 degrees in the daytime and then it drops down to minus 5 or so at night. That would give the ice channels a chance to drain the water away as the snow gradually melts.” But on the other hand, a “nightmare scenar-io” involving a prolonged period of cold tempera-tures followed by a sudden warming trend could spell trouble, he said. “If it stays cold for a long time, say about mi-nus 15 degrees, and then suddenly rises to plus 10 and doesn’t freeze at night, then things will come hard and fast,” he said. “Those are the conditions where you’re more likely to get some flooding.” The WSA is predicting above-normal runoff for the area northwest of Sakatoon, based on current soil conditions and snow cover. But Rowlett said the amount of runoff is likely to be less than last year if current trends continue for the next few weeks. “Last year was an exceptional year for snow-fall,” said Rowlett. “We haven’t had as much so far this winter. The Martensville area snow pack, for example, is about 41 per cent of last year’s lev-el. The area around Hafford is about 53 per cent of last year. There is more snow as you go further north, with the largest accumulations between Prince Albert and Waskesiu areas.” But even though the snowpack is lighter than last year, it’s still above normal for this area, not-ed Rowlett. “The area between Saskatoon and North Battl-eford is anywhere from 115 to 150 per cent of nor-mal,” he said. Rowlett said runoff predictions are based on a number of factors, including accumulated snow cover, topsoil moisture conditions prior to freez-eup in the fall, and precipitation in late winter and early spring. He noted that the 90-day period from mid-August to mid-November was relatively dry, which will allow the ground to soak up quite a lot of moisture when the thaw begins. Rowlett said a lot could change in the next few weeks, depending on how much snowfall or rain falls in March and early April. “Based on cur-rent conditions, the runoff will be above normal, but not as big as last year,” he said. “Most of the runoff is likely to be contained in channels but in some cases it could overflow. We’re pushing the envelope in the area from Meltfort to Saskatoon and Redberry Lake and toward North Battleford. The concern in this area is the amount of cumu-

Citizen involvement keyto emergency response

Keeping citizens informed and involved is the key to man-aging emergency situations successfully, says an official with the provincial Office of the Fire Commissioner (OFC) Emer-gency Management and Fire Safety. Larry Zadvorny, Emergency Services Officer with the OFC based in Prince Albert, told a meeting of municipal officials in Warman on Thursday, March 6 that providing residents with relevant and accurate information should be a priori-ty for municipal governments faced with an emergency situa-tion. “Information is power,” said Zadvorny. “Making residents aware of the situation, and getting them prepared will help everyone get through it a lot easier. If you make the informa-tion available to residents, you’ll be amazed what can be ac-complished. There is nothing to be gained by holding back in-formation.” He said Radisson and Borden both did an excellent job of involving citizens during their flood emergency last year. Zadvorny said the province is able to provide information to municipalities to help them prepare for emergency situa-tions by assessing the potential risk. Municipalities should have a specific emergency plan in place, and need to ensure everyone knows their roles and re-sponsibilities. The provincial OFC can provide training, and the province will also step in during large-scale emergencies that are beyond the scope of muicipalities, he noted. Zadvorny said flood mitigation measures by municipalities this spring should include making sure culverts and drains are free of ice and debris, and drainage channels are not clogged. Municipalities should also encourage residents to remove snow from the sides of houses, clear stormwater catch basins and sidewalks. Municipalities can declare a state of emergency when abso-lutely necessary, but must be aware of potential liability for any actions that are taken, he noted. He encouraged municipalities to enter into mutual aid agreements as a way of sharing personnel and equipment that could otherwise be in short supply. “These agreements should be established beforehand,” he said. During a question period, it was suggested by several mu-nicipal leaders that additional training sessions for volun-teers and key public works department staff should be avail-able so people are trained in using specialized equipment for emergency situations. Dave Buckingham, mayor of Borden, said during their flood situation last year it took some time before people learned how to properly fill and stack sandbags. He said hav-ing instructions early on would have been beneficial. In the past, the provincial OFC had mobile “hot shot” teams made up of personnel that would provide physical as-sistance to communities on the ground. This year, there is no funding for this initiative, noted Zadvorny. “We will still come out and help you get set up and provide instructions on running the machines, but we don’t have the resources for the hot shot teams.” –PUGH

The Saskatchewan labour mar-ket continues to perform, hitting re-cord levels for the month of February. There were 551,600 people employed in the province in February, up 5,400 from last year (1.0 per cent) the second highest growth rate in the country. Full time employment was up 8,100 from last year. “In spite of some very nasty weather in February, Saskatchewan’s job mar-ket continues to out-perform most oth-er Canadian jurisdictions,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Most of the other provinces have been struggling with volatile labour markets over the last several months due to a variety of circumstances, yet we have been able to make some steady gains, particular-

ly in full time jobs.” Saskatchewan had the lowest sea-sonally-adjusted unemployment rate in Canada in February at 3.9 per cent, well below the 7.0 per cent reported na-tionally. The seasonally-adjusted un-employment rate in Regina was 4.0 per cent and 4.4 per cent in Saskatoon. Regina had the lowest unemploy-ment rate among Canadian cities and Saskatoon ranked third. The youth unemployment rate was 9.0 per cent, second lowest among the provinces be-hind Alberta (8.3 per cent), and below the national rate of 13.6 per cent. Regina’s employment was up by 3,500 (2.7 per cent), and Saskatoon’s employment was up by 7,800 (5.0 per cent).

The RM of Corman Park is looking for a more detailed business plan before deciding on whether to award funding for a new recreation facility in Corman Park. At the March 3 council meet-ing a delegation from the South Corman Park Community As-sociation addressed council on the association’s plan for a new facility. Currently the association’s South Corman Park School log cabin runs a pre-school and soccer program. Music students from South Corman Park School use the cabin. The associa-tion also rents out space for church groups and 4-H Clubs in the area. The association is interested in build-ing a recreation-al complex, which would entail a mul-ti-use facility, a large children’s area, kitchen and storage. Outside structures would in-clude spray park, regulation sized hockey rink, soccer pitch-es, two beach volleyball courts (some of these outside facilities already exist), and a 200 metre track, said the association rep-resentative, John Hanbidge. “We put our heads together and talked to a number of in-vestors, who are interested in contributing large amounts of funds and labour to this pro-ject,” said Hanbidge. The association wrote a writ-ten request for funding to Cor-man Park prior to the March 3

By JAMES [email protected]

More detailed business plan needed for South Corman Park multi-purpose facility

council meeting for $2.83 mil-lion. That money would go to-wards building the multipur-pose structure on ten acres of land between South Corman Park School and public reserve property leased by the South Corman Park Horse Group, said Hanbidge. With the Corman Park budg-et slated to be announced any day now, Reeve Judy Harwood said the amount of money that is needed to bring roads up to speed and complete large capi-tal projects doesn’t leave a lot of money left over for facilities of this magnitude.

During the meeting there was a lot of confusion from councillors about how much the $2.83 million encompasses with the multi-purpose facility. They wondered if the money requested was for both the facil-ity structure and outside facil-ities, whether the province or federal government will be con-tributing funds for the struc-ture, and how the operational costs of the new facility will be managed. Hanbidge said yearly rentals for the smaller structure (Log Cabin) bring in about $35,000 a

year. He predicts the larger fa-cility should make an estimat-ed $81,000 net a year, which would come from programs of-fered at the new structure. Harwood, Administrator Adam Tittemore, Division 6 Councilor Bas Froese-Kooi-jenga and Division 7 Council-lor Joanne Janzen all ques-tioned Hanbidge on when the RM could see a business plan on the multi-use-facility. “What we received so far is that you initially present-ed to council a very broad idea on what you were looking for,” said Tittemore. “Then a letter was submitted indicating that you would be looking for $2.83 million.” On February 10, the Prairie Spirit School Division carried a motion indicating its support of creating “a partnership with the South Corman Park Com-munity Association to devel-op a joint community gym for South Corman Park School.” Hanbidge told council that an engineer from the PSSD is cur-rently working on drawings of what the structure will look like. Hanbridge said he would pro-vide other information the RM has requested. Froese-Kooijenga also re-minded Hanbidge that Corman Park was about the basics and not about building large com-munity facilities. “It is a totally different ball game and one where we would have to change our way of thinking,” said Froese-Kooijen-ga. Hanbidge responded by ques-tioning previous donations the RM has made to recreation pro-grams in the town of Asquith,

and the cities of Martensville and Warman. “You gave $25,000 to As-quith, $50,000 to Warman, and $25,000 to Martensville and I’m quite sure there are a num-ber of funds donated to the City of Saskatoon,” said Han-bidge. “They are separate enti-ties. Harwood said these funds are provincial grants that are allocated by the RM to commu-nity facilities used by RM resi-dents. She also pointed out that $25,000 or $50,000 is a lot less than $2.83 million. Hanbidge said the associa-tion will provide a business plan and circulate it to all the councillors. Harwood said the RM would receive Hanbidge’s informa-tion until more detail is provid-ed and a visual so all council-lors can see what the ten acres looks like.

“You gave $25,000 to As-quith, $50,000 to Warman and $25,000 to Martensville and I’m quite sure there are a number of funds donated to the City of Saskatoon. They are separate entities.”

Municipalities plan to tackle spring thawContinued from page 3

lative water in the ground that we are carrying over from oth-er years. That could really im-pact us this spring.”

RM OF CORMAN PARK The RM of Corman Park is gearing up to prevent flooding problems, according to Reeve Judy Harwood. “I think overall we’re in pretty good shape. Our pub-lic works department has been working steadily to get our cul-verts steamed and cleared out and we’ve also done a lot of channel clearing. I would like to say we’re being proactive.” Harwood said the RM is go-ing to be taking the message to its ratepayers that they need to take steps to protect their own property. Most landowners who have experienced flooding over the past few years have built berms and installed pumps, but they shouldn’t wait till the last minute to clear snow away from buildings or protect well-heads, she added.

VILAGE OF BORDEN Village of Borden Mayor Dave Buckingham says his community will be much bet-ter prepared this year to deal with flooding emergencies.

Last year, a massive wall of wa-ter created by sudden thawing in the Speers area threatened both Radisson and Borden. Both communities declared a state of emergency as volun-teers spent countless hours building sandbag barriers and pumping water away from threatened homes and busi-nesses. “I wish we would have done a little more foroward-planing last year,” said Buckingham in an interview after the WSA briefing in Warman. “But this year, I think we’re in pretty good shape. As a council and as a community we’re more pre-pared for this type of situation. Last year we had never experi-enced anything like it before.” Buckingham said based on WSA reports, there is a poten-tial for flooding and the com-munity is getting ready. “It depends on how much-water there is and how fast it comes,” said Buckingham. “If the water comes through the culvert from the south side of the highway we can handle it. But what we can’t handle is if the water is to come over the railway tracks and then over the highway. We may be able to handle it, but we’re not sure.”

Buckingham said the village and RM of Great Bend are still working on a flood diversion ditch south of the tracks that would move the overflow water away from the community to-ward the South Saskatchewan River. “That’s the long-term solu-tion,” he said. “It will take a while and is based on getting funding from various agencies, but we’re looking forward to getting that done so we can mit-igate any future problems.”

TOWN OF OSLER Osler Mayor Ben Buhler is also optimistic heading into this spring. “Right now it’s looking pret-ty good compared to last year,” Buhler said. “We haven’t had nearly as much snow as last year and moisture conditions were good last fall, so I don’t think there’s much risk of flooding right now.” Buhler said snow has been hauled out of town over the winter from commercial prop-erties and is being piled south of the community along the old Highway 11 right-of-way. He said there is room for more snow to be piled there if neces-sary over the next few weeks.

The Town of Aberdeen’s new Emergency Measures Organi-zation (EMO) Emergency Coor-dinator promises to bring a lot of valuable experience to the role. Paul Siwy took on the vol-unteer position for the town in early January. He is also the EMO coordinator for the RM of Aberdeen. Siwy is originally from To-ronto and spent most of his ca-reer working for corporations and government in positions, which allowed him to coordi-nate situations where he would have to think fast on his feet. In the early 70s, Siwy was a weapons technician in the Princess Patricias Canadi-

By JAMES [email protected]

New emergency coordinator has impressive credentials an Light Infantry Battalion in Winnipeg. On a yearly basis when the Red River flooded he was on hand as a sand bagger helping to secure the river from dam-aging nearby homes and busi-nesses. When he left the mil-itary, Siwy spent 16 years working for the Toronto Tran-sit Commission in Subway Op-erations, where rerailing sub-way and Streetcars was a common part of the job. It only seemed natural for Siwy to want to become in-volved when he saw in the Town of Aberdeen’s newsletter that they were looking for a vol-unteer for EMO coordinator. “The idea kind of bounced around in my head and I

thought, well I’ve got some time I should give back to the com-munity and this seemed like a good way to do it.” Siwy moved to Saskatoon from Hamilton, Ontario with his wife in 2012 after buying a small farm just outside of Aber-deen. After recently finishing his Project Management Profes-sional (PMP) certification he said he is prepared to retool Aberdeen’s EMO plan. A PMP certification usually requires a four hour exam where appli-cants have to show proficiency in about 10 different areas. Siwy said his PMP certifica-tion ties in well with the duties expected from an EMO coordi-nator.

“It allows you to systemati-cally plan, manage and close out a project in a matter that is very systematic so you don’t have any doubts,” explained Siwy. “You have to know exact-ly what your targets are and when you finish you have to en-sure that you’ve met all those targets.” When Siwy first took a look at the EMO plan for the town and RM of Aberdeen he could see a lot of areas for improve-ment. “Initially what I am doing is looking at the binder and up-dating it, revising things so they make sense, are more readable and easier to access for whoever needs to access it.” Aberdeen’s EMO committee – made up of fire, medical, social services, plus administration and councilors from the Town of Aberdeen and RM – are meeting once a month to fine tune the EMO plan, said Siwy.

There’s really not much good to be found in today’s grain transportation crisis, a body blow to an optimistic-farming community and to rural Sas-katchewan as a whole.

A bumper crop unlike any-thing some lifelong farmers have ever experienced has sud-denly met the grim reality that it’s not worth anything until it’s moved to port. Moreover, what farmers can get for this bumper crop now is far less than anticipated, some estimate $2 a bushel less for wheat, simply because we have a glut of grain that’s not mov-ing. Ironically, the ultimate source of this grain trans-portation problem is the very thing that’s turned our prov-ince around in the past decade, wealth of resources like oil and, to a certain extent, potash. CN and CP, now both pri-vate entities accountable only

to their investor shareholders, can blame the cold weather all they want. The reality is the railways have done everything possible to maximize share-holder profits, causing a two-fold problem for farmers. Cutting their fleets of loco-motives and cars combined with making the movement of oil their priority, again, all in the name of maximum share-holder profit, is the cause of today’s grain transportation problem. And why that problem isn’t being fixed has to do with a fed-eral government that is unwill-ing to address this issue. Maybe it all can’t be blamed on the federal Conservative government’s push to end the Canadian Wheat Board’s clout as the monopoly player. But it is also clear that this political move aimed at appeasing farm-ers hamstrung by the lack of marketing choice has eliminat-ed whatever effective role the CWB played in rail car distri-bution. And, again, maybe Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz aren’t the first Ottawa pol-iticians to be captivated by the

rail companies. There is a rea-son why there are more than 200 registered lobbyists in the nation’s capital working for the rail companies. They are there because what they do has al-ways produced results that fa-vour the railways over the grain companies. But there can be no doubt that Ottawa’s reluctance to take action against the railways is why the railways continue to act exclusively in the interests of shareholder profits by choos-ing to move oil over grain. Ritz can bluster all he wants. Until he comes to terms with the fact it is his job to intervene on behalf of farmers who need that grain moved, he is of no more helpful to rural Saskatch-ewan than the Liberals were. But while all this may seem disheartening and rather hope-less, there may be a slight sil-ver lining to all of this. It has helped Saskatchewan rediscov-er who it really is: an agricul-ture province whose first and foremost interest always should always be farming. That Ritz, Harper et. al. have taken a hands-off approach to the railways that have far more interest in moving oil

Crisis reminds us we are agriculture

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

says much about how they are failing to deal with Saskatche-wan’s biggest issue. They are quickly becom-ing out-of-touch with a prov-ince that has rediscovered that it does not exist solely to make rich oil companies and rail-ways even richer. Saskatche-wan is about farming and it’s time for the Ritz and Conserva-tives to stand up for what truly matters most to this province. Contrast the feds with what we’ve seen from Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party gov-ernment, also tied to the oil economy, that has at least tried to make resolving the grain glut its priority. Consider last week’s emer-gency debate in the legisla-ture where all MLAs from Wall to Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart to ordinary backbench-ers like Scott Moe, Greg Brkich and Kathy Sproule spoke pas-sionately and intelligently on this important agriculture is-sue. No, it didn t get the grain moving. But it was good to see that some Saskatchewan politi-cians do remember who we re-ally are in Saskatchewan. We are agriculture.

I always get a kick out of how motorcyclists and drivers always are the ones who get blamed for excessive noise in the City of Saskatoon. For anyone who is a renter, and I include myself in that group, this noise bylaw should be a little more all encom-passing to include tenant noise as well. At the City of Saskatoon’s executive committee meeting recently the council decided to move forward with a draft bylaw amendment that would allow Saskatoon Police of-

ficers to carry decibel readers and issue tickets for cars and motorcy-cles whose vehicles emit sound greater than 92dB. Well, that’s great for an-yone who is truly trou-bled every time a Harley

Davidson or souped-up Dodge Ram half-ton races down your street, but what about home owners who live in ar-eas where a lot of university or college students rent, or tenants who simply are selfish about their noise pollution and don’t care about bothering others. Where is the bylaw protecting them? When you are constantly woken up in the early morn-ing hours on a Sunday night to screaming kids who you would think should be in bed, to a party which should have ended hours ago or excessive door-slamming and foot-stomping going up and down stairs, should there be decibel meter for that? It would be nice if two families who share a dwelling were courteous to each other, but unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world. Now offences under the Saskatoon bylaw state that a first offence will cost you a $100 fine, $200 for a second of-fence and $400 for a third offence, and continuing offences of not more than $10,000. There is an option for tenants like myself, who have noisy neighbours. We can appeal to the province’s Office of Residential Tenancies. There you can fill out a form and seek compensation against a landlord who does nothing about a tenant who is in violation of the bylaw. I know only a couple of weeks ago I was forced to call the police on my tenant neighbours downstairs, who were partying till the wee hours of the morning on a Wednes-day night. I can only hope a fine was issued, but the police are not going to tell me if that was the case because appar-ently, my noisy neighbours are entitled to their privacy. There needs to be a simpler system to remedy residen-tial decibels of noise and the Saskatoon Police should also be measuring residential decibels as well. In Saskatoon’s noise bylaw it states that “any noise which unreasonably disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace or safety of reasonable per-sons of ordinary sensitivity within the jurisdictional lim-its of the city,” is prohibited. The bylaw also states that “factors for determining whether a sound is unreasonably loud includes “proxim-ity to sleeping facilities, whether commercial or residen-tial.” The most interesting fact is the bylaw’s time period al-lowance for prohibited noises, include lawn mowers, snow blowers and similar devices. You’re in violation of the by-law if you fire these machines up between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. on a weekday and 10 p.m. and 9 a.m. on a Sunday or statutory holiday. However, there is no set time period for people who own stereo equipment, musical instruments or similar devic-es, or party-goers, which means anyone who rents next to an individual who owns this equipment and disturbs an-other renter is prohibited from doing so, but is not in vio-lation of the bylaw for any set period of time. It doesn’t make sense to me. If I am reading it wrong then it needs to be better explained.

The Fortune Minerals pre-sentation was a propaganda exercise and it is their right. With an alleged market cap-italization of $45,000,000 it’s their right to talk it up. It’s also likely the principals of the venture have plenty of stock options available. We can assume the intent is to uti-lize tax abatements, green en-ergy grants, publicity, adver-tising etc. and sell the package at a selling opportunity. The chemistry of the ven-ture - fact or alchemy? Vigor-ous assertions of little to no risk from the toxic chemicals needed to extract metals from hard rock ore are offset by

standard form disclosures as to the veracity of the claim. Water use - ‘they can’t use treated water’. Circa 2003 the RM of Corman Park turned down a proposal by Don Meis-ter to use ground water for a proposed fish farm northwest of Saskatoon. There was an obsession about wells going dry at the time. The drought of 2000-2004 was not pro-longed but it resulted in a 25 foot fluctuation 2003-2011 at the Dalmeny observation well SE 01-13-38-06 W3. A future 20 year drought is foreseeable. High fuel costs, unreliable quality of food imports, a de-sire to buy locally could result

in a better land use for the fu-ture. The presence of process tailings would have a negative impact, by way of reputation, on intensive food production for local use or export. Local land and water use are valu-

Refinery project would leave unwanted legacyable. There is no reason to sell an inheritance of local nature only to appease aggressive de-mand compared to Don Meis-ter’s modest request.

An application by the Prairie Spir-it School Division (PSSD) for a new $60 million regional high school to be shared between Warman and Martensville is still in the hands of the provincial Ministry of Educa-tion. An application for a preliminary capital funding request was sent to the Ministry in October 2013. So far no word has been received on wheth-er it will be approved, according to Larry Pavloff, Chair of the PSSD Board of Education. In an interview Monday March 10, Pavloff said the proposed new high school for Grades 9 through 12 has a projected completion date of 2021. By that time, he noted, the existing high schools in Warman and Martens-ville will be at or near capacity. “By 2021, our elementary schools in both Martensville and Warman will be feeding us those students,” said Pavloff. “And we won’t have any more space to put them. It’s very im-portant to begin planning this new high school to serve both commu-nities as soon as possible because they’re both growing so quickly.” Pavloff indicated the school divi-sion is interested in working with partners in trades and industry to strengthen practical trades educa-tion courses in carpentry, plumb-ing, electrical and other areas. He said the experience of the “DaVinci Project” at W.W. Brown High School in Langham has been positive. “We would love to go in that direction,” he said. The school division has been hav-ing ongoing meetings with both the City of Martensville and the City of Warman on the proposed regional high school, as well as on the loca-tions and partnership arrangements for new P3 elementary schools. Pavloff said the projected comple-tion dates for the two new P3 joint-use elementary schools in Warman and Martensville is 2017. The schools, which are slated to serve students in both public and Catho-lic school divisions, are currently in

very preliminary stages of planning, and Pavloff said the projected 2017 opening date for both will be “push-ing it.” Pavloff said while no talks have yet been held with the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division on partnerships related to the P3 schools, he is “looking forward” to those discussions. This week in Saskatoon, input is being gathered on the design of the P3 schools from Ministry staff, school division officials, teachers, students, and parents. Pavloff, who is a representative of the public school trustees association on the province’s infrastructure ad-visory committee, said it’s important that any future school for the high-growth region take into account the likelihood of additional relocatable classrooms being added in the fu-ture. “In areas like Martensville and Warman, when a school is built, we have to build the core of the school large enough to support adding on relocatable classrooms and add-ing on portions to the outside of the school,” said Pavloff. “Right now the core is designed to accommodate the current size of the school, but it doesn’t take into account the future growth.” The “core” of the school includes things like the gymnasium, library, washrooms, office space, computer labs and other rooms that are used by the whole school, said Pavloff. “My suggestion to the Minister has always been to enlarge the core of the school so that it is prepared to take on those extra spaces that we add to the school later on,” he said. “Even if a school is initially de-signed to only hold 450 students, you have to design the core to accommo-date up to 800 students.” Pavloff said he is hopeful the PSSD’s application for the regional high school will be acknowledged in the upcoming provincial budget set for release on Wednesday, March 19. He said PSSD school trustees and officials will be in Regina on that date.

MARTENSVILLE & WARMAN

CJ’s Climb and Play officially opened its doors to the public with its grand opening March 8. The new facility, located next to OK Tire off South Railway Street West in Warman is likely to become a popular feature for families in Warman, Mar-tensville and points in between, espe-cially for those who want their chil-dren to stay active. The main attraction of the facility is a huge 26’x56’x16’ multi-tiered play structure, which includes five levels and about 30 platforms, said co-owner Laura Orenchuk. The playoff structure, which was designed by British Columbia based Orca Coast Playground Ltd., took four weeks to assemble, said Orenchuk. “They landed here probably about the 14 of January and they stayed at the Warman Hotel until it was assem-bled,” said Orenchuk. “They worked seven days a week until it was done.” The facility also features a large spacious area with six tables in the main seating area. Parents can sit and enjoy a beverage while watching two large television screens that hang from above as well as a security TV screen so parents can see where their kids are playing in the structure. The main floor also includes two party rooms with space available for about 32 kids.

If parents want some quiet time they also have the option of watching their kids play in the play structure in comfy seats from the facilities balcony. The balcony also includes a desig-nated toddler area for parents with kids aged three and younger. Orenchuk announced plans to build the facility in the November 21 edition of the Clarks Crossing Gazette. She said the goal with building the facility is provide a little something for everyone. “We want to please the moms and dads who need somewhere to go with their kids, especially during the eight months of winter,” said Orenchuk. “We are not looking to become a big corporate enterprise.” Orenchuk said so far the response has been positive. Before the facili-

ty opened its doors on Saturday, it al-ready had 12 birthday parties booked including a Saskatoon-based summer day camp called Bricks For Kids who will be using the facility this summer. “It is a franchised based company and they work through the Lego com-pany,” said Orenchuk. “They set it up camp style where kids use tablets (iP-ads) and build things page by page in a group setting.” Orenchuk said it is surreal to final-ly open the facility. “It is hard to believe it is finally here but we have a lot of work ahead of us,” said Orenchuk. “Just getting our name out there, gaining a good rep-utation, keeping the structure clean and keeping this facility a comfortable place for families to visit with their kids are our goals.”

The City of Warman is “open for business” in a big way, ac-cording to Warman City Man-ager Stan Westby. At a recent “business net-working breakfast” at Great Plains Regional College, Westby told the audience of academics, civic officials and business own-ers that the rate of growth for the community is unprecedent-ed. “There is more growth hap-pening here than in any oth-er community I’ve seen,” said Westby, who has served in se-nior civic managerial positions in several cities in BC’s lower mainland and also in White-horse, Yukon. Westby said there has been a 50 per cent increase in the number of building permits in Warman from 2011 to 2013. “Permits went from 404 in 2011 to 563 in 2012, and then to 604 last year,” said Westby. “The value of those permits was roughly $84 million in 2011, $78 million in 2012, and $97 million in 2013. That’s a total value of nearly $260 million in building permits in three years.”

Growth spurs rise in revenue for WarmanMore businesses moving in

Water rates on the rise as provincial costs increase A province-wide 7 per cent in-crease in water rates by Sask Water will mean higher water bills for Warman residents. Warman Finance Manag-er Clae Hack told the March 10 meeting of Warman City Coun-cil that the provincial water utility increase will become ef-fective April 1. An increase of 7.05 per cent will be passed on to residential water consumers by the City of Warman at that time. Warman City Council amended a bylaw at that meet-ing to allow for a change in the quarterly water rates charged to residents and businesses. Effective April 1, the new rate for 6,000 gallons or less is set at $83.50 (minimum). For wa-ter usage over 6,001 gallons, the

He noted the expanding com-munity has seen an increase in revenue from property taxes to the tune of about $1.2 million annually. “That’s not coming from an increase in the taxation level,” he said. “That’s strictly from more properties paying taxes.” Business licenses in Warman have increased 33 per cent over that three year period, he add-ed, going from 333 in 2011 to 463 in 2013. “It’s also a very diversified community,” he added. “The key challenge is to manage the growth and development.” Westby said the city council will be adopting a new strate-gic plan for the city in the fall, and he said input on that plan is welcome. The major priority will be the city’s core infrastructure, he noted. “The key priorities are keep-ing the community safe with good water, good sewers, good roads and good public servic-es,” he said. “Infrastructure needs are important, but there is also the quality of life issues including recreation, health and schools. These are all very imortant to residents.”

new rate is $14 per 1,000 gallons. The old rate was $78 for the first 6,000 gallons. The old rate for anything over 6,000 gallons was $13 per 1,000 gallons. The quarterly sewer rates were also amended. Commer-ical and industrial rates will now be 30 per cent of the quar-terly water charge, subject to a minimum charge of $30 per quarter. The residential rate will be 20 per cent of the quar-terly water charge, subject to a minimum charge of $30 per quarter. Other municipalities and ru-ral water utilities will be imple-menting similar increases as they pass on the provincial rate hike to their customers, effec-tive April 1.

Public works crews dealing with fluctating temperaturesBy TERRY PUGH

[email protected]

Record-cold temperatures fol-lowed by a sudden melt have caused some challenges for pub-lic works crews in a number of municipalities. “We have had a few challeng-es due to below normal temper-atures in recent weeks,” said Warman Public Works and Utilities Manager Randy Fehr in his report to Warman City Council on Monday, March 10. “We have had some issues with our water and sewer infrastruc-ture freezing, and we’re trying our best to deal with each case in a timely manner.” In an interview, Fehr said the extreme cold caused the frost to penetrate deeper into the

ground, and when the tempera-ture warms up, as it has recent-ly, that frost tends to go even deeper. “When you get some nice days like this, and then all of a sudden it turns cold, that’s where you get an issue of pipes frezing up,” he said, adding the public works crews are using a flush of hot water to melt the ice and clear the lines. “We have had a few calls from homeowners about frozen waterlines. Their service con-nections are frozen and they’re not getting water to their hous-es. We’re dealing with them as quickly as we can.” Fehr said Warman isn’t the only community facing this problem. “Every town I talk to is hav-

ing that issue right now,” he said. “It’s not just Warman. The public works crews are also working to ensure the stormwater drains are free of ice and debris to allow melt-water to run freely from the streets, said Fehr.

“We’re busy right now with catch basins,” he said. “I think overall everything is going as well as can be expected. If we get a nice slow melt, with above-freezing temperatures during the day and freezing at night, it should go okay.”

tion,” the Canadian Medical Association stated in a news re-lease. “He engaged his local hos-pital and - after regionaliza-tion - his regional administra-tions regularly. He served with his provincial medical associ-ation, and subsequently with his provincial college of physi-cians and surgeons … Dr. Fries-en’s professional vision centres around patient and family-cen-tred care, around building ca-pacity for rural and remote people and around surgical ed-ucation. He loves teaching sur-gical skills. He loves the person-al nature of clinical practice.” Friesen took his first man-agement and leadership courses in the early 1990s. He began do-ing research and taking admin-istrative courses as a way to do his part to help better manage the healthcare system. “Our medical culture in Sas-katchewan in terms of the med-ical profession has been quite negative (but) as a whole phy-sicians care deeply … and you know what, the Ministry of Health cares too,” Friesen said in a recent interview. “For rural Canadians travel-ling for care is a huge burden (so) where I expend my energy and where I try to improve the system is rural care.” Friesen still handles a full roster of patients along with his administrative duties. He said by working together, patients are receiving better care. Fri-esen was instrumental in cre-ating a system of pooling refer-rals to surgical specialists to give patients the option of see-ing the first available special-ist, instead of waiting for a spe-cific surgeon.

Friesen said specialists in the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region were the first to adopt the pooled referral meth-od for their patients. “Everybody is seeing their patients in about a month,” Fri-esen added. Friesen said he had an early interest in surgery during his medical school training. That interest was cemented when he travelled to the Congo (then known as Zaire) as part of his studies. “That’s where I discovered that I really enjoyed surgery,” Friesen said. “Of all the things I had been exposed to, this is what got me buzzing … you can actually fix something.” Friesen applied to the surgi-cal program at the University of Saskatchewan during his in-ternship at St. Paul’s Hospital in the mid-1980s. Friesen was able to complete the first few years of his surgical training in Regina – a decision which had other benefits as well. “I met a girl,” Friesen re-members fondly. And Friesen later married that girl, Connie Warkentin, in 1985. Then, while wrapping up his last year of studies, he got a call from the CEO of the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region with a job offer. He opened his first office on September 17, 1990. Friesen admits he needed good study habits to fulfill his dream of becoming a success-ful doctor. Those important study habits were formed dur-ing two years in Bible College in Three Hills, Alta. following high school. Friesen describes the experi-

ence as an eye-opener, saying students were also expected to help with farm work including tending to the garden and milk-ing cows. While Friesen admits Bible school was “a bit of a cul-ture shock,” he made friends and developed solid study hab-its due to the school’s strict aca-demic rules. “It was very self-enclosed and everybody looked after each other,” Friesen added. “It some ways, I felt freer (and) it was there that I redis-covered my passion for medi-cine … I saw it as another way of helping people in distress.” Dr. Friesen still has fond memories of his time in Dalmeny as well. The third of seven children, Friesen moved with his family to the commu-nity in 1964, on his seventh birthday. Friesen remembers the year

running water was installed and the day his family got a ro-tary phone as part of the 1967 Centennial project. “I called my friend just down the street … it was so exciting,” he recalls. He said life in Dalmeny was calm and safe and gave him lots of time to explore. “For me, it was tons of fun,” he added. Friesen also enjoyed his school days in Dalmeny. Grow-ing up in a small community, he remembers being able to try a range of sports and activities in school. He was president of his student council in Gr. 11. “I wasn’t a super athlete, but I really enjoyed the competi-tion,” he said. “In a small school, you get drafted for everything, so it was a huge part of my educa-tion.”

And, Friesen still maintains that busy lifestyle in Prince Al-bert. He and Connie raised four children: Luke, 26, who has a history degree; Brendan, 24, who is studying at SIAST; Ka-tie, 22, a pre-pharmacy student; and Maxine, a Gr. 12 student in Prince Albert. When he isn’t working on ways to improve the health care system, Dr. Friesen enjoys singing in a choir, playing gui-tar, biking, cross-country ski-ing and golfing. He is also helping support his wife Connie as she battles can-cer. “You don’t really understand illness until you live with it,” said Friesen. “It’s not a death sentence, it’s a chronic illness (and) you learn to live … she’s still kind of holding the family together.”

From his childhood in Dalmeny in the 1960s to Bible College in the 1970s and then medical college, Dr. Randy Fri-esen has learned a lot and had a rewarding career. And, he con-tinues to learn in his profes-sion and work toward improved health care for patients. Friesen, the head of gener-al surgery for the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region, has been recognized for his leader-ship and interest in medical ad-ministration with a Canadian Certified Physician Executive (CCPE) credential. He was one of just 29 doctors across Canada to be recognized by the Cana-dian Medical Association as a certified physician executive in 2013. Dr. Friesen, a surgeon with a full roster of patients in Prince Albert, also heads up the de-partment of general surgery for the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region. The Canadian Medical Association, which de-veloped the CCPE credential along with the Canadian So-ciety of Physician Executives, says the designation means Fri-esen has the skills and leader-ship qualities needed to help bring about positive change within the country’s complicat-ed health care system. “Dr. Friesen began his ad-ventures in medical adminis-tration in the somewhat hostile environment of Saskatchewan in the early 1990s. He could not have imagined that the Sas-katchewan doctors’ strike of 30 years before had so estranged physicians and the upper ech-elons of medical administra-

The Warman Community Band (WCB) has some warm-weather selections lined up for our Community Spring Concert on Sunday, March 16. Come out and enjoy an af-ternoon of classical, folk, pop, marches and cartoon theme songs performed by live con-cert musicians: The Warman Community Band and guests! The WCB is featuring spe-cial guests, guest conductors and renowned musicians – The 10th Street Saxophone Quartet: Kathy Gallenger, Sheldon Corbett, Doug Gilm-our and Uffe Vors. The 10th Street Saxophone Quartet began in 2011 when four accomplished Saskatch-ewan musicians decided to have fun with their love of saxophone harmony. Since then, they have per-formed both on their own and with the addition of a jazz trio. Their repertoire runs the gamut, from transcriptions of the classics from the Re-naissance to the 20th centu-ry, through modern jazz, with a particular fondness for rag-time. Please join us on at the Warman Gospel Church (420 Central St W) on March 16th at 3 pm for an afternoon of live music with intermission.

Alex Froese of the host VCA Lions attacks the basket despite the best efforts of Christian Turnbull (3) of the Maidstone Huskies dur-ing the opening game of the SHSAA Regional Basketball Champi-onships on Friday evening at VCA. The Lions won the regional title and earned the right to compete in the provincial Hoopla champi-onships in Regina this coming weekend.

The Langham Vikings are on their way to the Hoopla pro-vincial high school basketball championships in Regina this coming weekend. The host Vikings edged Rosthern Junior College 54-51 in the final game of the region-al playoffs on Saturday, March 8 to win the right to advance to the final-four tournament in the provincial capital.The Vikings had been knocked out of contention the last two years in a row at regionals, and they weren’t about to let that happen this time. “We didn’t want a three-peat,” said Vikings coach Cher-yl Hardcastle after the Vikings salted away the victory. “The girls were very focused this year. Right from the very first practice, they all said their goal this year is to make it Hoopla and represent our region. They did it, and the whole communi-ty is very proud of them.” Hardcastle said the victo-ry was especially sweet for the team members, most of whom have played together since they were in Grade 6. “We

have five Grade 12 play-ers in the lineup,” she said. “They’re all good friends and they have a lot of chemistry between them. They play as a team, and it shows.” It was also the first time in living memo-ry that Walter W. Brown High School in Langham has hosted a region-al basketball tourna-ment, said Hardcastle. “It’s really special,” she said. “We’ve spent a lot of years building this basketball culture here, and you can see by the packed bleachers that it’s pretty popular.” Hardcastle credit-

ed her co-coach, Jenna Harder, with making a big difference in helping the team find a way to win. “Jenna is a volunteer coach who lives in the com-munity, and she’s got two lit-tle kids, but she’s so dedicated,” said Hardcastle. “She brings her youth and enthusiasm and energy to the program, and all the kids have bought in to her message and her game plan.” The Vikings easily brushed aside the eventual bronze-med-al winner, Paradise Hill, by a

score of 87-35 in the opening game of the regional tourna-ment on Friday, March 7, while RJC dispatched Davidson by a similar margin, setting the ta-ble for the championship final on Saturday. The crowd got their mon-ey’s worth in that one, with the lead shifting back and forth throughout the game. RJC got off to a quick start and held a slim lead until early in the sec-ond quarter, when Langham went out in front. In the fourth

quarter things got really inter-esting. Langham built up what looked to be a safe 50-35 lead with a little over five minutes left in the game, but RJC ral-lied back to make things way too close for comfort in the dy-ing seconds. “It was a little tense at the end there,” admitted Hardcas-tle, wiping a tear of joy from her eye as the team celebrated their victory. “But we pulled it off and we’re off to Hoopla next weekend. It’s pretty exciting.”

The Warman Pee Wee AA Wildcats suffered their first de-feat of the season at the hands of the Saskatoon Titans at the Legends Centre in Warman on Sunday, March 9, losing 4-3 in a tight-checking contest. The Wildcats will try to re-group for Game 2 of the two-game, total points provincial Pee Wee AA playoff series when the scene shifts to Saskatoon’s home barn, the Cosmo Civic Centre on Sunday, March 16. The winner of the series goes on to the provincial final, and the Wildcats are hoping they can overcome the one-goal def-icit and get back to their season-long winning ways. “One goal is not a huge def-icit, but we’re going to have to score a lot more points and gen-erate a lot more offense if we hope to win the series,” said Wildcats coach Dustin Cyr af-ter the game. “This wasn’t our best effort, and it showed. Saskatoon out-battled us, and we didn’t deserve to win. It’s very disappointing. The play-ers aren’t happy, and hopeful-ly that’s a good sign that they’ll pick it up for the next game.” The Saskatoon Titans built up a two-goal lead thanks to an even-strength marker by Levi Morley late in the first period and a power-play goal midway through the second by Levi Wi-esner. But Warman battled back with two quick goals by Kyrell Sopotyk and Cole Hardy to even things up heading into the sec-ond intermission. The two clubs

traded goals when Wiesner col-lected his second of the night for the Titans and Adam Pow-er replied with a snapshot from the high slot for the Wildcats. Warman had lots of chanc-es but failed to capitalize, es-pecially on the power play. A 5-on-3 man advantage for the Wildcats late in the third frame was successfully killed off by Saskatoon, and when Saska-toon’s Tristan Shewchuk scored the winning goal for the visi-tors with 1:43 left on the clock it seemed to take the wind out of the sails of the home team.

PLAYOFF GAMES SET The Wildcats had a week-long rest prior to the game, and the rust and nerves showed, con-ceded Cyr. But they’ll be play-ing plenty of hockey over the next week or so, as they also prepare for the Prince Albert NAPA Raiders in the Centre Four Hockey League (CFHL) championship playoffs. The series against Prince Al-bert is a best-of-three affair. The Wildcats host Game 1 on Wednesday, March 12 at the Legends Centre in Warman at 7:15 p.m. The second game of the CFHL series goes in Prince Albert at the Kinsmen Arena on Saturday, March 15 at 1:30 p.m., and Game 3, if necessary, is back in Warman at the Leg-ends Centre on Monday, March 17 at 7:15 p.m. Sandwiched in between those final two CFHL playoff games is the second game in the provin-cial series against Saskatoon on Sunday, March 16 at the Cosmo Civic Centre. Game time is 215 p.m.

Warman Wolverines advance to Hoopla

By WAYNE [email protected]

The last time the Warman Wolverines High School senior girls basketball team advanced to the Hoopla provincial cham-pionship final was in the 1974-75 season. Betty Bird, the cur-rent coach of the regional 4A champion Warman Wolverines, was a Grade 9 student on that team. Bird recalled her role as a bench player, playing her heart out when called on to give the starters a rest, and cheering her teammates on as the team won the chamionship thirty-nine years ago. It was with a great deal of pride and satisfaction that Bird talked about the 2014 Senior Girls basketball squad. Bird said despite the fact this year’s squad was relatively inexperi-enced they had the tal-ent to be special. “We were a brand new crew but we real-ly gelled together,” she said. “We had only four girls return from last year, but we had amaz-ing talent. That was our goal this year; to get to Hoopla.” The team realized their goal as the hosted the Regional Tourna-ment on Friday, March 7 and Saturday, March 8. The Wolverines dom-inated the Melfort Com-ets in Friday’s semi-fi-nal game. They built on a 48-17 first half lead to win the game 84-42. Janaya Brown led to team with 21 points, while Grade 9 guard Faith Reid con-tributed 20 points. The finals proved to be a lit-tle more of a challenge when

they faced a determined squad from Prince Albert. The Carl-ton Crusaders had advanced to the finals with a semi-final win over the Humboldt Mohawks. Carlton took an early lead before Warman began to set-tle down and play their game. Warman had a slim 17-15 lead at the end of the first quarter, and increased their lead to 36-39 at the half. A dominant sec-ond half gave the home squad a 71-50 win, and their much trea-sured entrance into Hoopla. The Wolverines were led in scoring by another talented Grade 9 athlete, Chelsea Miss-key, who scored 26 points. Coach Bird talked about the commitment required to get to this level: “I am very proud of those girls but it comes with a lot of hard work,” she said. “We

had a lot of practices and made a lot of sacrifices. We were at eight tournaments this year. That is a lot of weekends to give up.” The Wolverines have lost only three games this year. Each of those losses were to Moose Jaw Peacock in tourna-ments. Coach Bird said it would be special if the Wolverines could face Peacock, especially if it was in the finals. She felt the girls have real-ly improved and are quick to learn new schemes. She empha-sized that they have the talent, and the skill. “We can do it if we stick to our game plan,” she conclud-ed. “The key is to not get too wound up and play our game.” Hoopla 2014 is set to begin on Thursday, March 13 in Regina.

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19Burning the candle at both ends again, Capricorn? This is not the best way to get things done. Take a more steady approach, and give yourself time to recover.

AQUARIUS January 20– February 18Aquarius, you can’t put your finger on it, but something positive seems to be on the horizon. The truth will reveal itself in the next few days.

PISCES February 19– March 20Pisces, fight against the current for something you truly believe in. Unexpected events arise on Thursday.

ARIES March 21– April 19This week you need to be the follower instead of the leader, Aries. It may be difficult to go against your normal grain, but it is for the best. Keep an open mind.

TAURUS April 20– May 20Your confidence may wane sometime this week, Taurus, but some friends will boost your morale to help you get back on your feet. Saturday will be a big day.

GEMINI May 21– June 21Gemini, certain things that have to get done this week are out of your realm of expertise. Do your best to tackle these projects but have a helper on hand just in case.

CANCER June 22– July 22Cancer, you have a lot on your plate, but you don’t know where to start. Make a list of your tasks, and it will help you better tackle one thing at a time until you are all done.

LEO July 23– August 22Leo, learn to laugh at yourself as a means to relieving stress. Things can’t always be serious, so ligthen up and take some time to relax. Work with Virgo this week.

VIRGO August 23– September 22Give yourself a much-deserved break, Virgo. You’ve been working nonstop for the last several months, and now is a great time to take a vacation or enjoy a weekend getaway.

LIBRA September 23– October 22You don’t have all of the answers, Libra, so don’t even think about saying you do. Relationship concerns are at the forefront of your mind lately.. SCORPIO October 23– November 21Scorpio, it might be hard to bite your tongue, but that’s just what you have to do this week. Wait until you are called on for help before you get involved.

SAGITTARIUS November 22– December 21Take a few days to get all of your affairs in order, Sagit-tarius. Use this time to adjust to some changes that have happened over the last several weeks.

The Clavet Senior Boys and Girls Basketball Teams will be returning to Hoopla after easi-ly defeating their respective op-ponents during the Saskatch-ewan High School Athletic Associations Regional Tourna-ment, March 7-8 at Clavet High School. The Clavet Senior Girls earned their way to the Hoop-la provincial tournament by de-feating Outlook High School by a score of 94 to 39. Senior Girls coach Chad Wil-liams said getting the opportu-nity to play at Hoopla is some-thing the girls strive for all year. “We came out strong. Out-look was a good opponent, but we executed well and came out with a win,” said Williams. Ayla Brecknell and Jill Ehman controlled the flow of the game, pressuring Outlook’s defence and dominating from the perimeter and inside. Williams led the Senior Girls to a 15W-7L overall record in his first year as coach. He said it was a great experience “I think any time you come in to coach a new team, espe-cially a team that has had previ-ous success, everyone is skepti-cal and feeling each other out,” said Williams. “We have both adjusted to each other and so far it has worked out.” As much as the Senior Girls dominated Outlook and other teams prior to the 3A Regional Tournament, Williams said it is really hard to nail down weak aspects of his team. He did say he is a big believer in defence. “Offence will come but if you can stop them first and fore-

most that is the most important thing,” said Williams. The Senior Girls last won gold at Hoopla in 2011, never qualified in 2012 and placed sec-ond in 2013. Williams said winning Hoop-la essentially comes down to how badly teams want it. “We will probably see Ca-ronport and Indian Head. They will be good games and we are evenly matched against them,” said Williams.

SENIOR BOYS HOOPLA This is the fourth year in a row that Clavet’s Senior Boys qualified for Hoopla. The Senior Boys also won gold at Hoopla in 2011, and were runners up in 2012 and 2013. The Senior Boys defeated Big River’s Se Se Wa Hum Spirits 90 to 65 to win the 3A Regional Tournament. Senior Boys coach Paul McTavish, said the game was a good win for his team. “It was a much better game than the score indicated,” said McTavish. “In the fourth quar-ter we won by 25 points, but one of their players also fouled out in the fourth quarter. They couldn’t sustain anything after that.” The Senior Boys lost the Rock Tournament in Regina to Shel-don-Williams Collegiate last weekend but have never looked back since then, racking up 30W-4L and placing third over-all in the 3A Provincial Catego-ry in the SHSAA. The sad thing about the Sen-ior Boys heading into Hoopla is that they will have to play with-out starter and leading scorer Nigel Lendsay. Lendsay broke a finger dur-ing the Rock Tournament in

Regina. Before his injury he was racking up the majority of playing minutes for the Senior Boys. “It is sad for him because he is in Grade 12 and lost his op-portunity to play in Hoopla,” said McTavish. “It was emotion-al for us because we haven’t re-ally played a lot without him this year.” McTavish said Lendsay con-trolled the tempo of the game, anticipated opportunities for the team to run the ball and pass the ball in areas of the court where his teammates could be successful. On defence he challenged op-posing ball handlers and de-flected a lot of shots, which created a lot of turnovers, ex-plained McTavish. He said he is happy with how his team has pulled together in Lendsay’s absence. “We have never had a prob-lem playing well as a team but when you remove a big part of it you always wonder what is go-ing to happen,” he said. McTavish said the Cougars first competitor will be Regi-na Harvest City. At a January tournament in Saskatoon, the Cougars lost to that team by 18 points. McTavish said at the time of the loss the Senior Boys were still working on offensive and defensive elements of their game, which he said has im-proved. “When we play them I ex-pect things to be different,” said McTavish. They are a very skilled and talented team and we are definitely the underdog heading into the game. At the same time we have improved and I think we can give them a game.”

The Delisle Bruins lost Game 1 of the Sask Valley Hockey League’s second round best-of-five series against the Rose-town Redwings, March 5. The Redwings were the Achilles heel for the Bruins last season, sweeping them in three games. There was no scoring in the opening period, although the Redwings changed that less than halfway through the sec-

Bruins drop Game 1 to Redwingsond period when Keegan McA-voy scored his first of two goals in the second period. McAvoy scored again on a set up from teammate Kirk Pearce to take a 2-0 lead for the Red-wings heading into the third period. The Bruins Anthony Climen-haga answered back with a goal to break the shutout with assists from Dan Hounjet and Justin Kerr in the third period. The Redwings Brett Dick-ie increased his team’s cushion to 3-1 two minutes later before

the Bruins Chad Laing made the game close just under seven minutes to go in the third. The Redwings put the nail in the coffin for the Bruins with an open net goal by Kyle Hood after the Bruins pulled their goaltender for an extra attack-er. The Bruins will play the next two games in the best of five playoff series in Delisle. Game two will be played at 8 p.m. on March 12, while game three will be played March 14 at 8:30 p.m.

The Sask Valley Vipers earned a trip to the Saskatch-ewan Bantam AA Hockey League North Division Provin-cial Semi-Final with a 7-1 over the Humboldt Broncos in the best of three series, March 9. It was a hard fought victo-ry for the Vipers’ players who were forced to step up their game after losing leading scor-er Jared Hamm in game two. Benson Thorpe led the scor-ing with three goals in the final game, followed by Chance Adri-an, Ty McBeth, Tylin Cameron and Matthew Conlon, who each scored single markers. Scoring started off slow for the Vipers in the opening game of the series at Warman’s Leg-ends Centre, March 4. The Broncos’ top scorer Erik Gardiner dented the twine ear-ly in the first period followed by teammates Austin Hilts and Justin Oronych who helped in-crease the score to 3-1 early in the second period. The Vipers fought back with an unassisted marker by Hamm with just under seven minutes remaining in the sec-ond period and an impressive penalty shot by Chance Adri-an, who was hauled down by Gardiner on a previous play to make the score close at 3-2. Ty MacBeth knotted up the sore at 3-3 just under the half way point of the third peri-od before Gardiner blasted one from the point on the pow-er play to even the score at 4-4 with just under seven minutes to play in the third. The tie resulted in a ten min-ute overtime where Hamm on a set up from Adrian and Austin Wieler buried the puck for a 5-4 overtime win. Vipers coach Shaun Pri-el said he was happy with his team’s come from behind effort.“We started slow but we en-couraged the kids to shoot

more in the second and third periods,” said Priel. “They demonstrated their resilience again, and pushed through for the win.” Game two in Humboldt was almost like a basketball match, March 7 with both team’s trad-ing goals for all three peri-ods before Gardiner scored the winner early in the second overtime period to secure a 4-3 win for the Broncos. Adrian scored all three Vi-pers goals in game two, but the team lost the services of lead-ing goal scorer Jared Hamm. “He skated the first shift and he looked like he was wincing a bit,” said Priel. “He went out for his second shift and he was done after that.” Priel discovered from Hamm

that the injury could possibly be a strained hip flexor. He is unsure how long Hamm will be out if that is indeed the injury he sustained. “Hamm is pretty upset. He recognizes his importance to us on the team,” said Priel. “It is sad for him but I told him that the injury is something that he can’t control.” The win means the Vipers will play the North East Wolf-pack in the SBAAHL North Di-vision Provincial Semi-Final. The Wolfpack swept the Prince Albert Venice House Raiders in two games March 4. Game one of the SBAAHL North Division Provincial Semi -Final will begin Saturday March 15 at Warman’s Legends Centre. Game time is 2:15 p.m.

Delisle Bruins have one more chance in Midget B hockey provincial semi-final The Delisle Bruins are still in the mix for the provincial Midget B hockey champion-ship, but they’ve got a big hole to climb out of. The Bruins lost 7-5 to Muen-ster on March 7 in Game 1 of the provincial semi-final in Muenster. The Bruins hope to get back on the winning track on home ice this Frdiay, March 14 when they host Muenster at the Delisle Arena in Game 2. The winner of the provin-cail semi-final series goes on to meet the winner of the Redvers-Assiniboia match-up in south-ern Saskatchewan.

The Bruins made it to the provincial semi-final after over-coming Elrose and Dalmeny in the two previous rounds.

CLAVET COUGARS WIN The Clavet Cougars won Game 1 of the provincial Ban-tam C hockey semi-final series, edging Maple Creek 4-3 last weekend. Game 2 is set to go this week-end. Clavet made it to the provi-cial semi-final after beating Edam in the second game of that series. The first game be-tween Clavet and Edam ended in a 2-2 tie.
