Pickup truck driver killed in fiery collision on Highway 7 near Delisle The driver of a pickup truck is dead following a collision with a semi-trailer unit on Highway 7. The collision occurred just before 1:00 p.m. on Monday, January 20, one mile west of Delisle. The massive impact of what appeared to be a head-on collision caused the pickup truck to burst into flames.

The burned-out wreckage of a pickup truck is examined by an RCMPcollision analyst at the scene of a two-vehicle collision near Delisle

An eastbound semi came to rest in the north ditch of Highway 7 aftercolliding with a westbound pickup truck Monday afternoon

PHOTO SUBMITTED BY JOLENE WIEBE | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Several months after a devastating typhoon levelled their homes, resi-dents of Tacloban City in the Phil-ippines are picking up the pieces of their shattered lives and bravely looking to the future. Typhoon Haiyan (known locally as Typhoon Yolanda) slammed into the Philippines on November 8, 2013; killing more than 6,000 people and leaving countless thousands of home-less and injured victims in its wake. Tacloban City, on the west coast of the island of Leyte, was one of the hardest-hit areas. News reports in the immediate aftermath of the ty-phoon described it as a “dead city.” But Tacloban residents are very much alive and committed to re-building their city and their country, according to Jolene Wiebe, a Regis-tered Nurse from Warman who is currently volunteering as part of a medical mission sponsored by Sa-maritan’s Purse, a Christian relief organization. “They have such an amazing, re-silient outlook,” said Wiebe in an e-mail from the hospital in Tacloban where she is working on a month-long tour of duty with the relief orga-nization. “They are joyful despite the circumstances, and are thankful. “I’ve learned so much from the Filipino people already, she contin-ued. “A local sign posted said: ‘We

are roofless, we are homeless, but we are not hopeless.” A pastor at church this morning said “We did not invite Yolanda, but Yolanda invited all na-tions to come and help us. We thank God for that.” Each person’s story I’ve heard is so heartbreaking and yet their courage amazes me.” Wiebe left Canada for the Philip-pines on January 7, and is due to re-turn on February 8. She is part of a nine-person medical team which in-cludes doctors and nurses, working alongside the staff at a storm-dam-

aged hospital in Tacloban to provide emergency health care to the com-munity. The medical personnel are part of a “multi-dimensional” effort that also includes “a shelter team, wa-ter and sanitation hygiene team, dis-tribution team (food and non-food items), nutrition team, logistics and communications team. Wiebe said the thirty people attached to the vol-unteer mission are currently living in a hotel with a generator for elec-tricity, food, water and an internet

connection. Wiebe is a resident of Warman and works at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon. She volunteered for the medical mission in order to put her skills to humanitarian use. “Why did I come to the Philip-pines? It’s because of my faith,” said Wiebe in her e-mail. “I want to fol-low Christ’s example of by using the skills He’s given me to help those in need. Samaritan’s Purse sums it up perfect: After sharing the story of the good Samaritan, Jesus said: go

and do likewise. That is the mission of Samaritan’s Purse – to follow the example of Christ by helping those in need and proclaiming the hope of the Gospel.” Wiebe said her team is assisting at a local hospital called the Schisto-somiasis Control and Research Hos-pital. The hospital suffered severe damage as a result of the typhoon. “The roof was blown off the second floor of the hospital, resulting in pa-tients being moved to the first floor,” said Wiebe. “That led to crowding in the pediatric and outpatient areas.” She said Samaritan’s Purse volun-teers set up tents outside the hospi-tal to provide space for an outpatient clinic and pediatric treatment ward. While conditions are bad at the hospital, they’re many times worse in remote areas outside the city. Wiebe is also serving as part of a mobile medical team that is taking health care to isolated areas.

MEASLES ON THE RISE According to Samaritan’s Purse Canada Communications Manag-er Frank King, based in Calgary, the organization’s medical teams have treated over 3,700 people in the Phil-ippines, and provided vaccinations against measles and polio, two dis-eases which are surfacing in the dev-

A woman was taken to hos-pital with serious injuries fol-lowing a collision on Highway 11 and Township Road 381 early Thursday morning.

According to Warman RCMP Sgt. Mark Ochitwa, the colli-sion occurred at about 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, January 16 when a westbound 2005 Saturn sedan travelling on Township Road 381 entered the northbound lanes of Highway 11, where it was T-boned by a northbound Corman Park Police Service Ford SUV. The 21-year-old woman driv-ing the Saturn suffered serious injuries, and was trapped in-side the vehicle. She was treat-ed on scene by Warman First Responders and MD Ambu-lance paramedics, while the

First Responders used extrica-tion equipment to remove the roof of the vehicle to free the trapped woman. It took about 30 minutes to remove the patient from the wreckage and get her into a waiting ambulance, where she was rushed to Royal University Hospital. RCMP forensic collision an-alysts were on scene to deter-mine the exact cause of the collision. The investigation is ongoing. Saskatoon Police Services used a flying drone to capture aerial photos of the crash scene. The entrance to the intersec-tion was icy at the time of the incident, which occurred just before sunrise. The Corman Park Police of-ficer involved in the crash was on duty at the time but was not responding to a call, and was travelling at the speed limit in the right-hand lane. A second northbound SUV driven by a home-care nurse on her way to work in Osler was in the left-hand lane a short dis-

Woman seriously injured in early morning collision on Highway 11By TERRY PUGH

SaskWater is increasing wa-ter distribution rates by 7 per cent, effective April 1. The RM of Corman Park, which has agreements with sev-eral rural water utilities, re-ceived the notice of the increase from SaskWater at its January 20 meeting. The rate increase will be passed on to consumers through regular water utility bills, beginning in April.

OLDER POLICE VEHICLE The Corman Park Police Ser-vice will be using an older vehi-cle until a replacement is pur-cahsed for the police SUV that was totalled in a recent colli-sion on Highway 11. At their regular meeting on Monday, January 20, Corman Park councilors expressed sym-pathy for the young woman who was seriously injured in the collision, which occurred on Thursday, January 16. The woman remains in Royal University Hospital where she is currently undergoing treat-ment for her injuries. Councilors also said they were glad the police constable involved in the collision is back at work with no serious inju-ries. The police vehicle involved in the collision was a newly-purchased Ford SUV equippped with state-of-the-art equipment. It is expected that the RM’s in-surance coverage will cover the major portion of the cost of a replacement vehicle. In the meantime, an older unit that had been retired from service has been brought back into the fleet.

CROSSMOUNT VILLAGE The developer of the pro-posed Crossmount Village seniors complex south of Saskatoon has been given per-mission by council to proceed with submitting detailed site plans to the RM. The actual development plans must still be approved by council.

REGIONAL PLANNING Corman Park councilors are looking to move ahead with re-gional planning efforts. A resolution endorsing the Planning For Growth (P4G) committee as the main body for discussons between the RM and neighbouring urban mu-nicipalities was passed at the

SaskWater rates going up

By TERRY [email protected]

RM council meeting January 20. The P4G Group began last year as a coordinating commit-tee made up of administrative planning staff from several mu-nicipalities including Corman Park, Warman, Martensville and Saskatoon. Following the Regional Sum-mit last November, the P4G Group is being bolstered by elected council members from the participating municipali-ties, as well as representatiives from the Town of Osler. Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwoood, Councilor John Germs and Councilor Bas Fro-ese-Kooijenga were chosen to represent the rural munic-ipality at the P4G meeting. Corman Park Planning Direc-tor Rebecca Row is also a rep-resentative. A meeting of the expanded P4G group will take place Feb-ruary 6 in Saskatoon.

MOVING TO 21ST CENTURY The RM of Corman Park council is moving into the 21st century by adopting the use of iPads as a replacement to hard-copy agendas and briefing notes. The council voted to pur-chase 10 iPads in the next few weeks, and to begin utilizing the devices at upcoming coun-cil meetings. Other municipal councils, including Martens-ville and Warman, have suc-cessfully made the transition to Ipads. Division 8 Councilor Wendy Trask noted the iPads will re-sult in a considerable saving to ratepayers. “Over the course of a year, the cost of usig iPads is about half the cost of all that paper,” said Trask. Council is expected to have a transition period while the new devices are phased in and coun-cilors learn how to use them.

SARM CONVENTION Corman Park Reeve Judy Harwood is seeking a seat on the Board of Directors of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalties (SARM). Harwood and Division 5 councilor Ken Beauchemin were chosen to serve as dele-gates to the annauul SARM convention in Regina in mid-March.

FALL ELECTIONS Province-wide councilor elec-tions will be held October 22 for all even-numbered divisons in

rural municipalities. The RM of Corman Park council voted to begin prepara-tions for the election by naming Corman Park Administrator Adam Tittemore as the chief re-turning officer for the election. Potential polling stations in each division are being lined up for the election. Advance polls will also be held. Elections for odd-numbered divisions, as well as Reeves, will be held in the fall of 2016. All councilors are elected for four-year terms of office.

tance behind. Both northbound vehicles took evasive action to avoid the collision. The Corman Park Police officer, a veteran of many years of police service, said the westbound car pulled out right in front of him and he wasn’t able to stop in time. The Corman Park Police of-ficer immediately called 911 af-ter stopping his vehicle and rendered first aid to the wom-an trapped in the Saturn. He was assisted by the home-care nurse in the other vehicle in-volved in the incident. The Corman Park Police officer did not suffer any apparent inju-ries, but was later taken to hos-pital to be checked out. The northbound lanes of Highway 11 in the area were closed to traffic for aseveral hours while RCMP collision ex-perts conducted their investi-gation. Northbound raffic on Highway 11 was re-routed from the Wanuskewin Road intersec-tion through the Corman In-dustrial Park. Saskatoon Police Services also assisted Warman RCMP in traffic control.

Are we raising a generation of

corporate brats?

There may be something worse than a backbencher who is not sure he or she has a role in a government cau-cus.

It might be those who have become just a little too com-fortable with the subordinate role that now so defines what a government backbencher does in our Parliamentary system today. For all the grief that Mel-ville-born-and-raised Edmon-ton MP Brent Rathgeber took in 2013 for his less-than-glori-ous departure from the feder-al Conservative government caucus, there was something very refreshing about the move. All too many Conservative government backbenchers – and, frankly, even a number of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet members – behave no better than trained seals barking on command. Evidently, Rathgeber conclud-ed that there must be more to public life than that. And maybe it’s a lesson

that Premier Brad Wall’s own Saskatchewan Party back-benchers – who have also de-veloped the belief that they, too, are only there to serve their leader – should also learn. Of course, like much in our system of Parliamenta-ry democracy, it really didn’t start out this way. It sort of evolved...or perhaps in this case, devolved into the system we have today. In fact, in the British Par-liamentary system from which our Houses in Cana-da are modelled, the tradition was that it was the caucus who chose the leader. Today in Canada, it’s the leader who chooses the cau-cus in that the leader can de-cide whether or not to sign an MP’s or MLA’s nomination form. And by picking his cab-inet, the leader has massive control over a backbencher’s job prospects, leading to a life of political servitude. Hopefully, Conservative MP Michael Chong’s Reform Act will be passed in some form so that the inequality between elected backbencher and the leader narrows a lit-tle. Even here in Saskatche-wan, there was a time in the

not-so-distance past when backbenchers had not only a greater say in political strat-egy and decision making but also a bigger role in serving their constituents. Oddly enough, back in the days when being an MLA was not considered a full-time job (the pay back then reflected that reality), the leader was actually more reliant on his backbenchers for both policy and political input. But MLAs on the ground listening to the people has been replaced by profession-al hired political staff, polling and focus groups. And while rural MLAs once had more sway lobby-ing for schools and hospitals in their ridings or deciding where roads should be built, those decisions have been taken over by professional civil servants or professional political staff far more likely to have the leader’s ear than any single MLA. That has made the full-time job of modern MLA as something less than a fulfill-ing job. Rather than being the bosses of the political staff, such MLAs find themselves carrying out the orders of the political staff...even when it’s sometimes to their own detri-

MURRAYMANDRYKProvincial Politics

Backbenchers must better define their rolement. Such was the case at a re-cent Saskatchewan legisla-tive public accounts meet-ing when government MLAs three times rejected motions from NDP Opposition finance critic Trent Wotherspoon to have one set of budgeting books that conform with ac-counting principles. It was a reasonable request, giv-en the Provincial Auditor’s condemnation that the 2012-13 books can’t be trusted be-cause it doesn’t reflect the true $580-million deficit that we had. But to allow even a rath-er even-handed, non-partisan motion to pass would have been seen – at least by Wall’s political staff – as an indict-ment of the Sask. Party gov-ernment. So rather than do the right thing which would have been to advocate more transparent and honest financial books, the backbenchers on the com-mittee voted down the idea. What the Premier and his staff wanted was a far bigger priority than what the con-stituents that elected them might have wanted. Sadly, all too many back-benchers know their modern-day role all too well.

When it comes to parenting, everyone’s an expert. And society loves to jump all over the latest media-feted example of overly in-

dulgent parenting of kids of all ages—from toddlers to millennials. Sure, all parents make mistakes, and all kids have meltdowns (some of which might have, admittedly, been handled better). But it seems to me that even the worst examples of permissive parenting pale in comparison to the way politicians and pundits coddle, make excuses, and en-courage double standards for questionable (even de-plorable) behaviour from corporations and their rep-resentatives. And perhaps it’s the post-holiday sugar-and-exces-sive-consumerism hangover talking, but I’m tired of being held hostage by self-indulgent, narcissistic ty-rants, whose endless “gimmes” and “I want that…or elses” seem so utterly pervasive that I feel as though I’m trapped at a Toys “R” Us outlet sale (whereupon, after my third coffee, I discover the washrooms are out of order). These days it seems the capitulation-impulse is so hair-trigger that often the actual demands (“Cut your salaries in half or I’m running away to Indi-ana where they just approved Right-to-Work!”) aren’t even necessary. It’s the anticipation of the de-mands—or fear of the consequences to be suffered if the unvoiced demands aren’t met—that results in a smorgasbord of pre-emptive tax-cut-esque goodies in an attempt to avoid the surely inevitable breath-hold-ing tantrum. (Or reneging on job commitments—am I right, U.S. Steel?) There’s minimal public sympathy for the enraged and hysterical four-year-old who barricades himself in his room after screaming at his sister to get out

so he doesn’t have to return her Lego—feeling pretty confident that their parents will side with him, anyway. But somehow the “grown-up” version of a corporation—let’s call it Canada Post—that locks out its workers and waits for the government to in-tervene instead of allowing the collective bargaining process to continue is the recipient of benevolent nods from media pundits because “really, what choice did they have?” And after all the excuses about “shareholder demands” are stripped away, the corporation that socks away all that money from tax breaks instead of investing it in workers or equipment looks an awful lot like that kid who, when asked to play nice, takes her Pokemon cards and stomps home. Well, if the Pokemon cards were paid for by the public. And if she had pocketed a few million of them. And if by “home” she really meant the Caymans. But it goes beyond capitulation. It’s the excuses or justifica-tions so many of our politicians and pundits make for question-able corporate actions—excuses that are too-often accepted as Just The Way Things Are Because It’s The Free Market, After All.

By ERIKA SHAKERCanadian Centre for Policy Alternatives

The Harper government has only one priority – i.e., slashing the feder-al budget in every way it can. Such an obsession is counterproductive, es-pecially when economic activity, both domestically and globally, is weak and uncertain. Yes, after years of reckless Conser-vative mismanagement (running def-icits totaling more than $165-billion), federal debt must be put on a steady downward track. But that’s not the only thing we need. For example, a more prosperous fu-ture will require significant invest-ments in post-secondary education, higher skills, science and innova-tion – bolstering the quantity and the

quality of Canadian brainpower, and driving greater productivity, competi-tiveness and growth. About 50 per cent of Canadians to-day have achieved some level of post-secondary learning through univer-sities, technical schools, colleges, apprenticeships, etc. And that’s good, but it won’t be good enough. Within a decade, 70 per cent of all the new jobs in Canada will demand post-second-ary qualifications. So we need to lift Canada’s PSE achievement rate by 20 points within 10 years. Higher learning is also critical to the health of our democracy. Our system of governance depends on a knowledgeable, informed electorate

with unimpeded access to informa-tion. Canada is not well-served when barriers (financial or otherwise) stand in the way of greater access to post-secondary education. Or when research is commercially-focused only, with no value attached to any curiosity-based “pure” science pur-sued as a public good. Canada is not well-served when sta-tistics cannot be reliably collected or tabulated; or when government re-searchers are barred from speaking in public; or when voices of dissent are ridiculed. Canada is not well-served when Ac-cess-to-Information procedures are

subverted by politics; or when librar-ies and archives are closed or de-stroyed. As a national priority, good public policy should seek to enrich Canadi-an’s capacity to learn, to create new knowledge and disseminate it broad-ly. That doesn’t come cheap. But in the words of former Harvard Presi-dent Derek Bok (often quoted by for-mer University of Regina President, the late Dr. Lloyd Barber): “If you think education is expensive, try ig-norance.” Under our Constitution, education is a provincial responsibility, but be-cause of its importance to our qual-ity of life and our success as a na-

tion, generations of Canadians have agreed that higher learning is a field in which the Government of Canada should be a willing and constructive partner. Better access to high-quality learn-ing, knowledge and information for all Canadians is a national cause well worth pursuing. By the time we celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, we should aim to make Canadians the best educated, most connected and innovative, and most democratically engaged people in the world.

Warman survey aimed at encouraging entrepreneurs


Business is booming in Warman, and the city is looking to keep that trend going. A survey commissioned by the City of Warman in partner-ship with Community Futures MidSask and the Saskatchewan Economic Development Associ-ation (SEDA) shows that 78 per cent of businesses in the com-munity are experiencing in-creased sales. A further 16 per cent of busi-nesses responding to the “Busi-ness Counts” survey reported stable sales. Businesses also in-dicated they are continually in-vesting in their facilities and equipment. The survey, conducted last fall over a period of three months by Jensen Consulting Group, an independent consult-ing firm, was aimed at gather-ing feedback from local busi-nesses on the overall business climate in Warman. A total of 50 businesses, half of which have been established for 10 years or more, were inter-viewed between September and November 2013. These 50 businessescollec-tively employ 590 people in Warman. Thirty-one of those businesses indicated they ex-pected to employ additional peo-ple within the next three years. An additional 115 jobs were an-ticipated. The vast majority (98%) of Warman businesses said they source their workers from the local area.

Forty-two per cent of the busi-nesses participating in the sur-vey indicated they plan to ex-pand in the next three years. Most establishments (68%) rated the business climate in Warman as “good”, noting ac-cess to markets and suppliers was an advantage. The busi-nesses were also happy with cultural and recreational ame-nities in the city, and indicated the local tax structure and de-velopment approval process was good. Overall, according to the re-port’s findings, “the majori-ty of businesses commented on Warman’s positive business en-vironment” which they said were due to “population growth, continued community develop-ment and strong community support for local businesses.” The report contained a num-ber of recommendations to im-prove the business climate, in-cluding overcoming periodic power failure issues, transpor-tation and infrastructure im-provements, and implementing a communications and market-ing plan for the city. Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said she found the sur-vey results “encouraging” and noted the city has earmarked business retention and expan-sion as a prirority. She point-ed to recent announcements by major corporations which are moving to, or expanding with-in, Warman as evidence of con-tinued confidence in the city’s future growth.

Saskatchewan people have a reputation for be-ing hardy, and the Martensville Winter FunFest on Saturday, February 1, offers a great oppor-tunity for folks to shake off cabin fever and em-brace the great outdoors. “We’re hoping for good weather,” said Angela Reddekopp, program coordinator with the City of Martensville Recreation and Community Ser-vices department. “We have a lot of different ac-tivities, both indoors and outdoors, and it’s some-thing the whole family can enjoy together.” The event takes place at the North Ridge Com-munity centre and Kinsmen Park, beginning at 1:00 pm and finishing up with a fireworks dis-

play and indoor movie night in the hall. The event is free, but people are asked to make a do-nation to Martensville KidSport, said Reddekopp. The outdoor ponds in Kinsmen Park will be cleaned off for the event, with several areas set up for different activities, including “coffee can curling”, shinny, skating and even ‘catch and re-lease’ ice fishing. “We tried to have ice fishing last year dur-ing the carnival, but unfortunately there were no fish in the pond last winter,” said Reddekopp. “Indications are that there are some fish in the pond ths year, so we’ll go out in the next few weeks and see if we can hook a few. The fish are perch, and they’re quite small, so it’s just ‘catch and release’ fishing. It’s all for fun. Nobody’s go-

[email protected] to get much of a meal from these little guys anyway.” Reddekopp said the objective is to encourage people to try something different. “Ice fishing is a cultural thing in Saskatchewan, but a lot of ur-ban people have never tried it,” she said. “As the city grows, we are hoping to bring in a few old-fashioned things for people to try.” Another family favourite is the horse-drawn sleigh ride, said Reddekopp. “We’ll also have nail pounding, snowball throwing and a snow-pitch tournament at the ball diamonds. We’ll have a campfire going all day so people can roast hot dogs and marshmallows over an open fire, and then in the evening we’ll light the bonfire of Christmas trees before finishing off with a fire-

works show.” The parks department has also set up a winter disc golf course to promote the sport. “It’s a new event that’s aimed at highlighting the disc golf course we put in place last summer in the park,” said Reddekopp. “The snow adds a bit of a twist to it. We flattened the snow on the course, and the discs will have a piece of yarn attached so that if they end up buried in the snow you’ll be able to find them again.” There’s also plenty of activities indoors at the North Ridge centre, she noted. “We’ll have boun-cy castles, face painting, an I-Spy game and fish ponds for the kids,” she said. “We also have Beep-er the Clown coming out to do two shows.” “It’s going to be an adventure,” she said.

Competition held at the Leg-ends Centre gym on Sun-day, January 19. Starring in this were the Pearls(5 and un-der), Rubies(8 and under), Em-eralds(11 and under), Elite Opals(11 and under), Ame-thysts(14 and under), Elite Peri-dot(18 and under), Sapphires(18 and under), Diamonds(adults), WHS, and Warman High Jr. This event was also a

fundraiser for the Warman Ul-timate Elite Peridot team who are planning to travel to ma-jor competitions in Baltimore, Maryland and Chicago, Illinios in an attempt to become the first cheer team from Western Canada to receive a Summit Bid(personal invitation) to Or-lando, Florida in May 2014. Warman Ultimate found-er and head coach Leslie Ste-

venson summed up the day. She said “This is a great show-case to fund raise for the Peri-dot, and to get all the Warman teams out and it is very inti-mate for grandparents so they don’t have the craziness of a larger competition.” The approximately 900 spec-tators ienjoyed an opportunity to see the best of cheerleading and look at future champions.

Calls to Warman Fire Dept. increase sharply


The Warman Fire Depart-ment has seen an 80 per cent in-crease in call volumes for fire and medical emergencies over the past three years, according to Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin. “The biggest increase has been in medical calls,” Austin said in his report to Warman City Council on Monday, Janu-ary 13. “We responded to a total of 277 calls in 2013. We average one call per day, and so far in 2014 we’ve responded to 18 calls, so we’re on pace again this year to meet or exceed that number.” Austin said the fire depart-ment responded to 111 fire and rescue calls in 2013. Thirty-six of those incidents, he said, were motor vehicle collisions. The vast majority of those – a total of 23 collisions – were on High-way 11 between Saskatoon and

Warman. Austin said 98 per cent of the regular medical calls are within Warman city limits. Fire calls, on the other hand, often mean firefighters leave town to battle blazes in the RM of Corman Park or assist other communities through the North Corman Park Fire Chiefs Association (NCPFCA) mutual cooperation agreement. Austin said the Warman Fire Department’s radio equip-ment is in dire need of upgrad-ing. “We currently use a radio frequency on the Strawberry Hills repeater across the riv-er,” he said. “We also have ac-cess to a sub-frequency on the Can-Oat Milling Site, but it’s in even worse shape. It will be re-furbished at the expense of the NCPFCA so service should im-prove, but it will be used by all departments and could be tied up in a major incident.”

Health officials have received confirmation of measles in an unimmunized infant who trav-elled by air to Saskatchewan in early January. The infant’s family flew from the Philippines to Vancouver on January 2, 2014, and then to Calgary and Regina on Jan-uary 7. Passengers who were on the same flights as the fam-ily may have been exposed to measles. (See flight list below.) Those who develop symptoms are encouraged to call their health provider to seek immedi-ate medical advice, particular-

ly if they have not been immu-nized. “Measles cases are quite un-common in Saskatchewan, but this situation underscores the importance of vaccinations,” Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Denise Werker said. “The risk of exposure to highly contagious diseases can be par-ticularly high during busy trav-el seasons, for people travelling within Canada as well as to and from countries experiencing measles outbreaks.” All travellers could unknow-ingly be exposed to people with

measles. Measles occurs more frequently in countries out-side of the Americas. There are large outbreaks occurring in the Netherlands and the Philip-pines. Parents with infants six to 12 months of age should con-sider having these infants vac-cinated prior to travel. Two doses of measles vaccine are re-quired for maximum protec-tion. Measles vaccination is usually offered in combination with mumps and rubella in one vaccine at 12 months and again at 18 months. For information on measles

symptoms, treatment and vac-cination, call HealthLine at 811, or visit www.saskatchewan.ca/live/health-and-healthy-living/prevention-and-treatment/mea-sles. Travellers are advised to check their immunization re-cords to ensure measles vac-cinations are up to date.

When it comes to getting a flu shot there seems to be a lot of misinformation that may prevent people from receiving a beneficial procedure, says Ka-ren Grauer, manager of dis-ease control for the Saskatoon Health Region. Grauer, who oversaw an im-munization clinic at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Saskatoon, January 16, says she has heard a lot of ‘old wives tales’ about getting vaccinated, which are simply not true. “We know from literature that some people don’t believe in get-ting a flu shot because they had the flu before and were able to fight it off so they don’t need the vaccine,” she said. “ There are other people who are skepti-cal to the vaccine because they think there are things in the vaccine that may harm them” The truth is flu strains change from year to year, ex-plains Grauer. “This year the most common flu strains are H1N1, H3N2, and also Influenza B, which we haven’t had any case of yet,” said Grauer. “Most of the cases we are seeing is a combination between H1N1 and H3N2. ” Grauer said the vaccine stim-ulates the immune system to create antibodies in the event that somebody is exposed to the live virus. “If someone does get a flu shot and still gets sick with the flu, it might be a case where the flu was already present,” says

Grauer. “When a person re-ceives a flu shot it usually take two weeks before the antibodies from the vaccine can provide full protection.” Another misconception is that the drug used for the flu shot contains dangerous amounts of mercury. Grauer notes that the trace amounts of mercury is very small, it does not build up in the body and is much less toxic than other forms of mercury. The mercury is contained in a preservative in the vaccine. Grauer stressed that every vac-cine is safety tested by the man-ufacturer and Health Canada.” The sad thing about immu-nization myths is that they can border on the ridiculous. According to an article writ-ten by Dr Rachael Dunlop, med-ical researcher, science com-municator and campaigner for Science-Based Medicine in Aus-tralia. Dunlop previously wrote an article debunking vaccina-tion myths for Mamamia, a women’s health website. On the site she listed myths, which suggested vaccination caused autism and that vac-cines can overwhelm the un-developed immune system in kids’ healthy bodies. Both are untrue. Grauer said even though myths often cloud truth from fiction, websites such as the Ministry of Health and Flu Watch are full of factual infor-mation people can research if they have any questions about immunization.

astated region. King said the organization expects to have emergency teams in the Philippines “for the balance of 2014”, adding the extent of the devastation is unimaginable. He noted Samaritan’s Purse has been active in relief efforts in Haiti since 2010, when a mas-sive earthquake did untold damage to that small country. “We also were active in Japan for 18 months following the 2011 tsunami and earthquake,” said King. “The short term goals are to provide relief to people who desperately need it. Ev-ery situation is unique. In the Philippines the priorities are clean drinking water and shelter, so we have provided sever-al million square feet of high quality plastic tarps that will pro-vide temporary shelters for homeless people.” King said the organization ensures that 90 cents of every dol-lar goes directly to relief efforts, with only ten per cent of dona-tions used for marketing and administration costs.

Saskatoon is getting ready to showcase the province’s di-verse musical talent when it hosts the Saskatoon Blues Fes-tival, February 24 to March 2. The festival will take place at various clubs, bars and coffee shops around the city , all of which were familiar stomping grounds for Saskatoon singer Suzie Vinnick. Vinnick, who describes her-self as a roots and tradition-al musician, characterizes the blues as a genre of music that touched her soul at a young age. “I played my first live show at the age of 15 and I got my first exposure to the blues at Buds on Broadway,” said Vinnnick in an interview. “The bar had a jam session every Saturday. As an aspiring musi-cian the jam was the only place I could go and play music legal-ly - being an underage musi-cian” Vinnick left Saskatchewan in 1991 for Toronto, then Otta-wa, and now resides in the Nia-gara region of Ontario. Since that time she has gar-nered wide acclaim in the blues scene, playing in venues all over Canada, Europe and the United States. She is a three-time Juno nominee, a ten times Maple

Blues Award Winner and was a finalist in the 2013 Internation-al Blues Challenge Solo/Duo Category in Memphis, TN. Despite her soaring career, Vinnick says she always makes time to play at home. “After playing across Cana-da I feel like I have a bunch of homes. I feel fortunate to travel and share my music, but it’s al-ways nice to come home to Sas-katoon,” she said. Vinnick said she will be playing music from her latest two albums, Live at Bluesville and Me and Mable, and maybe some new material for a new album she hopes to record this year.

DELISLE BLUESMAN A musician making his de-but at the festival this year is blues guitarist Neil Roston. Originally from Sydney, Nova Scotia but now resid-ing in Delisle, Roston is look-ing forward to bending his strings like his idol Stevie Ray Vaughn, playing some origi-nal compositions and rubbing shoulders with talented blues musicians in Saskatoon. Growing up in a guitar play-ing family with a bother, father and uncles that all played gui-tar it only seemed natural that Roston would pick up the in-strument. In his 20s, Roston began

playing rock and heavy met-al music in Saskatoon, but the first time he heard of Stevie Ray Vaughn, he never looked back. “Playing the blues ignited a feeling in me that I never got from other styles of music,” said Roston. “The first time I started playing blues music I got goose bumps.”

Co-ops not only help you pro-duce your crops, they can help students grow a career through the Excellence in Ag Program. The program includes a scholarship up to $20,000, sum-mer internships and opportu-nity for future employment to four students in Western Can-ada pursuing a post-second-ary education in agriculture or business. “For these students, the fi-nancial benefit is a $20,000 scholarship,” said Ron Healey, Federated Co-operatives Lim-ited Associate Vice-President, Ag and Home. “But equally im-portant is the opportunity to se-cure meaningful, relevant sum-mer internships where they can apply their classroom knowl-edge to an everyday working environment.”

Rachael Verwey is a first-year agriculture student at the University of Manitoba. She was one of four students select-ed in 2013, the first year of the program. “I would like to say thanks to the Co-op because this is a huge deal,” she said when accepting her award. “I have my career set up for me now; I don’t have anything to worry about.” Students must be entering or already enrolled in a diplo-ma or degree program at an ac-credited post-secondary institu-tion. The deadline for applications for the 2014/15 Excellence in Ag program will be January 31, 2014. Information is available through your local Co-op ag centre or by visiting www.coop-connection.ca.

Entrepreneurs from all walks of life converged in Saskatoon for the launch of the Saskatch-ewan Business Challenge on Wednesday, January 15. The goal of the challenge is to provide guidance to young entrepreneurs from established business professionals on how to take a business from the idea stage to the finished product, said Brad Kraft, Marketing and Communications Manager for the Saskatoon Regional Eco-nomic Development Authority (SREDA). Kraft said the challenge was established eight years ago and was originally called Pro-gress2Capital. SREDA part-nered with the Regina Region-al Opportunities Commission (ROCC) for the challenge two years ago to bring opportuni-ties for entrepreneurs province

wide. Kraft said applications will be accepted online from Jan-uary 15 to February 15. After that date, judges will select 20 applicants who will work with experts on how to develop a business model, get help with marketing and finances and have the opportunity to make a one-minute pitch to potential investors. After the investor pitch, ap-plicants will be trimmed down to ten, where each will work with an investor for six weeks, have their business plan fine-tuned and presented again in a half hour presentation to a set of judges. The greatest aspect of the business challenge is that it ap-peals to all kinds of businesses that don’t already have to be es-tablished,” said Kraft. “It is certainly good if you have any kind of idea just to ap-ply. What is really nice about


Business challenge lends a hand to entrepreneursthe challenge is that it will help especially in the ideation stage. It will help carry that idea and make it reality,” said Kraft. The official launch of the challenge was hosted at the Bassment in Saskatoon, where entrepreneurs, business lead-ers, and SkBC applicants came together to hear from the ex-periences of Bitstrata Systems, winners of last year’s Progress-2Capital. Bitstrata Systems co-found-er Ian Meier said winning the 2013 Progress2Capital chal-lenge was a great experience. “We were new entrepreneurs when we applied a year ago. It was a great way to get some support. A fair amount of risk is taken on when you start a small business like this but the challenge really helped guide us through the process.” Ian Meier and co-owner Mi-chael Lockerbie developed a grain cart weighing application

The Village of Clavet is be-coming a more attractive op-tion for people wanting to es-cape the costs of building a home in Saskatoon. Saskatoon-based North Ridge Developments Corpora-tion is ready to market 21 new single-family dwelling lots in Clavet, said David Calyniuk, Business Development Manag-er with North Ridge Develop-ments. “We don’t have titles yet,” said Calyniuk. “We just fin-ished the servicing during the fall. In the spring we will finish the roads and that is when they will be available for construc-tion.” North Ridge developed 19 lots back when the corporation first set up in Clavet in 2004. The new lots will be sell-ing at a price range between $81,900 to $89,000, which is about half of what most home buyers would pay for a lot in Saskatoon, said Calyniuk. Calyniuk explained that high housing prices in Saskatoon makes it difficult for some peo-ple to both work and live in the city. He said this is why Clavet

is becoming a more attractive option for younger families and retirees when it comes to buy-ing a home. “If there is an opportunity where you can be close to the city where people don’t have the amenities but are able to have a cost savings to some extent and still maintain their lifestyle, then it becomes attractive,” said Calyniuk. Clavet Mayor Blair Bentley, said the village’s relationship with North Ridge has been a positive experience. “Back 14 years ago when I be-came mayor I pretty well ap-proached every developer in the phone book to build lots,” said Bentley. “North Ridge has definitely been a good partner for developing and doing good work.” The Village of Clavet doesn’t plan on stopping at residential lots. Bentley said a Calgary de-veloper plans on developing commercial lots on 80 acres to the east of the North Ridge De-velopments area. “We are hoping to get more commercial. We don’t have a lot of stores or banks. We’ve got a restaurant, hotel and store. It would be nice to have more va-riety,” said Bentley.


New residential lots soon to come on the market in Clavet

that is adaptable on iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices. Bitstrata’s application has the ability to communicate with a device mounted on the grain cart that helps to determine how much grain has been tak-en off the field. Then the data transmits wirelessly to an iPad, iPhone or to other mobile devic-es. Meier said the application would be a time saver for farm-ers because every time grain is unloaded into a truck it records it automatically and it will re-cord how much grain was pro-duced, what farm it was pro-duced from and where it was transported. Meier has already sold the application to companies in Canada, the United States and Australia. The 2014 Saskatchewan Busi-ness Challenge winner will be announced at the awards gala at the end of June.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE IN MARTENSVILLE TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

Construction workers apply shingles to the roof of a new home in Mar-tensville. According to the City of Martensville Planning Department, 431 building permits were issued worth a record total of $51,641,730 in 2013, which was an increase of about $9 million over 2012, when 388 build-ing permits were issued. The city saw 81 single family homes construct-ed in 2013, compared to 125 in 2012. However, the number of multi-fami-

ly homes increased to 72 units in 2013 from 28 units in 2012. The city also saw 18 commercial and industrial buildings constructed in 2013, five gov-ernment and institutional buildings, 185 residential additions and renova-tions, and 71 “other” projects. In the 20-year period between 1993 and 2013, Martensville has seen a total of 1759 single family dwellings con-structed and 463 mut-family units built.

With RRSP season well un-derway, many Canadians are wondering whether it’s time to seek financial advice. Here are some tips to help you choose an advisor that’s right for you. Since you will be relying on your advisor for information and guidance, it is important that you pick someone you find trustworthy, who helps you think about your life goals, who understands your invest-ment needs, and who fully an-swers all of your questions. Your advisor will help you create a plan that’s right for you, review it with you regular-ly and remind you to stick with your plan so that your money can continue to grow. Studies have shown that people who have a financial advisor for 15 years or more, have more than double the savings of those who do not have advisors – mostly because simply having an advisor encourages peo-ple to save regularly and save more. It is important to make sure that the individual is licensed. Licensed advisors are over-seen by regulators and must complete education programs before and after they are regis-tered to help them keep on top of new financial products, rules and regulations, and industry trends. Check regulators’ web-sites to determine whether the individual has been the subject of any complaints or investiga-tions. There are rules requiring fi-nancial advisors to tell clients the range of products that they are licensed to offer, their qual-ifications, and how they are paid. Some financial advisors are paid by salary or through commissions, some through a separate fee paid directly by the client, and others might of-fer a choice of payment meth-ods. Be sure that you un-derstand the costs of your investments and the services your advisor offers. Finally, the key to a good re-lationship with your finan-cial advisor is good communi-cation, so ask questions and update your advisor on any changes in your circumstanc-es. For more information, vis-it www.ific.ca/en/pg/investor-centre/ or your provincial secu-rities regulator.

Making prepayments on your mortgage could save you thousands of dollars over the years—as long as your mort-gage lender allows them. A mortgage prepayment is any amount you pay in addi-tion to your regular payments. This can include increasing the amount of your regular mort-gage payments or making a lump-sum payment to reduce or pay off your mortgage bal-ance. The sooner you can make prepayments, the less interest you will pay over the long term. For example, consider a 25-year mortgage of $150,000 with a 5.45% interest rate. As-suming the interest rate re-mains the same over the life of the mortgage, the month-ly payments would be about $911. Increasing the payments by $50 per month would pay off the mortgage two years sooner and save $14,000 in in-terest. A one-time lump-sum pay-ment of $15,000 in the sec-ond year of that same mort-gage would result in paying off the mortgage more than four years earlier and saving over $33,000 in interest. Check your mortgage agreement first, because not

all mortgages have prepay-ment privileges. A closed mortgage may require you to pay a penalty or fee for any prepayment. Federally regulated finan-cial institutions, such as banks, must show your prepayment options in an information box at the beginning of your mort-gage agreement. It will speci-fy whether you can make pre-payments, when you can do so, plus other related terms and conditions. Read your mortgage agreement careful-ly, and before signing ask the lender to explain anything that you don’t understand. When shopping for a mort-gage, ask the following ques-tions: •HowmuchcanIprepaywithout penalty or fee? •Isthereaminimumamount for a prepayment? •WhencanImakeprepay-ments? •Arethereanyconditionsorlimitations? •Iftherearefeesorpenal-ties, how much are they, and how are they calculated? The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada has more information on this topic at it-paystoknow.gc.ca.

One of the most valuable fi-nancial lessons you can share with your kids before they leave the nest is to explain what interest rates are and how they work. The important financial transactions they’ll conduct as adults will likely be affected in some way by inter-est rates, whether as a lender or a borrower. Here’s some background in-formation to help guide those conversations: Interest rates for lenders. Anyone who has a savings ac-count or owns government or business bonds is, in ef-fect, lending money to those institutions and earning inter-est on the loan. In most cases, however, this interest income is probably taxable, so shop around for favourable rates to maximize your earnings and help offset inflation. Compare bank GIC, savings and chequ-ing account interest rates on-line to see where the best offer is. Interest rates for borrowers. Interest rates have even more impact on you as a borrower, especially for large purchases.

For example: while mortgages have a set term, most are am-ortized over 15 to 25 years, so reducing the interest rate by a point or two could save tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. And credit card rates may vary by 10 points or more, depend-ing on your credit rating. Most borrower interest rates are expressed in terms of an-nual percentage rate (APR). With credit cards, the issu-er may charge a fixed APR, or change it as bank inter-est rates vary (“variable rate”). Each billing period, the com-pany charges a fraction of the annual rate, called the “period-ic rate,” on outstanding balanc-es. With mortgages, the APR also factors in origination fees, mortgage insurance premiums and other fees. Interest rates may also de-pend on: Whether the loan is “se-cured” (secured by collater-al such as a house or car) or “unsecured” (not tied to col-lateral – like credit cards – so the lender relies on your prom-ise to pay it back). Because they’re riskier for the lender, unsecured loans typically have

higher interest rates. Credit score – people with higher credit scores are deemed less risky and there-fore get much more favourable rates. Term length – long-term loan rates are usually higher than short-term rates, because the longer the loan, the greater the risk to the lender that you might default. Fixed vs. variable. Home mortgage interest rates are ei-ther fixed at a set interest rate, or are variable, which means the rate can fluctuate for part or all of the loan period. When rate indexes are relatively high, many opt for a variable rate mortgage, which typically has a lower beginning rate and is therefore more affordable ini-tially. However, when rates climb due to inflation or other factors, variable rate payments can rise sharply, which is why many people prefer the more dependable fixed rate. Bottom line: Many factors in setting interest rates are be-yond our individual control; however, controlling their own credit score – which can have a tremendous impact on inter-est rates – is an important les-

Often it is asked why work with a mortgage broker in-stead of banks when purchas-ing, refinancing or transferring your mortgage. 1. They help you with all as-pects of your mortgage, from figuring out how much you can truly afford to purchase to find-ing you ways to pay your mort-gage off more quickly. 2. There’s no cost to you as the client. Based on approved

credit, mortgage brokers are paid by the lender when the mortgage funds. 3. They act as a go-be-tween during the loan applica-tion process. They are on your side, working with the lender, realtor and lawyer to get your loan closed. 4. Mortgage brokers have a number of lenders they work with and know who can do what kind of loans. A broker

What is a mortgage broker and why you should use oneknows how to nudge the pro-cess along and can resubmit a loan package to a new lender very quickly if your application isn’t moving along well. 5. You are the mortgage bro-ker’s number one priority and when it comes to mortgages, rates, and the housing market, they speak to you in plain lan-guage. They can explain the mortgage terms and condi-tions so you can choose confi-

dently. 6. In addition, you should ex-pect your mortgage broker to review your mortgage a few times a year to see how you can pay it off faster, wheth-er it’s still the right product for you, and if it’s still competitive. Questions about your next mortgage transaction, give your mortgage broker a call to discuss your options. Do you know what your mortgage op-

tions are? I do!

Warman Pee Wee AA Wildcats keep on rollingTeam puts together 15-game winning streak



The Warman Wildcats are heading into the toughest part of the Centre Four Pee Wee AA Hockey League season on a confident note. The team has racked up a regular season record of 15 straight wins and 0 losses, out-scoring their opponents 189 to 32. But Wildcats head coach Dustin Cyr isn’t taking any-thing for granted. The soft-spo-ken coach says there’s “still a long way to go till the end of March.” “We actually don’t want to talk about the winning streak too much,” said Cyr in an inter-view following a 9-4 win over the visiting Humboldt Bron-cos in Warman on Saturday, January 18. “We’re on a good roll here and doing some good things. We have a plan in place and we’re executing what we want to accomplish this year.” Cyr said about a month into

the season, the coaching staff, which includes assistant coach-es Brett Doucette and Chris Kjarsgaard, took a critical look at how the team stacked up against the opposition and mapped out their strategy. “We felt we have a team that could potentially go all the way,” he said. “We feel if we do the right things on a consistent basis, we’ll be there right at the end. But it’s a process of baby-steps. We have to take it a little bit at a time.” Cyr said the team is trying to stay grounded by guarding against over-confidence. “There is a considerable amount of expectation when people in the community look at the record and see what we’ve accomplished,” said Cyr. “Absolutely over-confidence is an issue, and it’s something that we try very hard to miti-gate. We’re very open with the players about that and we talk about it consistently. We’ve been lucky we haven’t had that sneak in too much. We take ev-

ery game, every period, every shift as it comes. It’s all baby-steps toward the end goal, and that’s still a long way off.” Cyr, whose coaching experi-ence has mainly been with Tier I Bantam teams, says coach-ing a younger age group has its challenges. “They respond in a different way,” he said. “The’re a little younger, so the message has to be handled differently.” The biggest improvement in the players, he notes, is their “mental toughness” both on and off the ice. “We’ve seen some strength-ning of character and resolve, and not letting little things build into big things,” he said. “We’ve also seen big improve-ments in their on-ice skills. We’re always looking to make improvements. We keep ham-mering on that going toward the finish line.” During the game against Humboldt on Saturday, Janu-ary 18, the Wildcats dominated the first two periods, buliding up a 6-0 lead before Humboldt finally got on the scoreboard midway through the contest.

This year, body-checking is not permitted at the Pee Wee level, and the Warman play-ers used their speed and stick-handling finesse to kept the Humboldt team off-balance. Goal-scorers for Warman in-cluded Austin Lamotte (3), Holden Knights (2), Boston Bay-ly, Luke Reid, Noah Lessmeis-ter, and Josh Pillar,. Warman netminder Corbin Christianson was solid between the pipes. Humboldt captain Logan Barlage, who towered over his teammates, also stood tall in the goal-scoring department, accounting for three of the Broncos’ four goals. Cael Zim-merman added a single for the visitors. The Wildcats entered the first round of provincials on Sunday, January 19, defeating West Cen-tral by a score of 8-1 in Warman at the Legends Centre. The sec-ond game of the opening round is slated for Friday, January 24 in Dodsland. The Wildcats’ regular season continues on Wednesday, Janu-ary 29 when they host Tisdale at the Legends Centre. Game time is 7:15 p.m.

The Delisle Chiefs’ play-off hopes rely on three factors: great goaltending, playing as a team and most importantly, scoring goals. The latter hasn’t been a problem for Mark Ganter this year. Ganter leads the team in scor-ing with 15 goals and 13 assists, and is sixth overall in rookie scoring, a statistic he didn’t ex-pect when the season started. Originally from Unity, Gant-er said he had the opportuni-ty to play for the West Central Rage, but thought the Chiefs was a better organization with a great coaching staff, which he said gave him a lot of confi-dence right from the start. “The coaching staff gave me lots of opportunities to play,” he said. “I think that always helps. They have lots of confidence in me. When someone has confi-dence in you you always want to go out there and try your best.” Chiefs assistant coach Dar-ryl Murray said Ganter is just the type of kid who works hard and wants to prove himself eve-

ry game. Ganter said part of success this year has come from the soft scoring hands of Josh Reinbolt, who is just points behind Gant-er in team and league rookie scoring with 17 goals and 10 as-sists for 27 points. “It is fun to always have someone to battle with,” said Ganter. “We have great chemis-try together on the ice and like to push each other each game to score as many goals as we can.” Late last year, head coach Dave Norris said part of the trade deal which send four vet-erans to the Saskatoon Royals was based on the confidence he had in some of the Chiefs rook-ies this year. Despite the Chiefs’ current record of 11 wins and 14 losses and sixth place showing in the Prairie Junior Hockey League’s north division, the future looks bright, said Murray. “We are in a rebuilding phase right now,” said Norris. “We have an entire team of 18-year-olds. I think we have the poten-tial to be the top two or three placed team for points in the league next season.”

Dalmeny overpowers Warman, teams gear up for FCHL playoffs



The Dalmeny Fury have their work cut out for them heading into the Fort Carlton Hockey League (FCHL) play-offs. After cruising to a 6-1 win over the visiting Warman Wild-cats on Friday, January 17, the Fury suffered a 9-1 drubbing at the hands of the Bruno T-Birds on Saturday, January 18. That wasn’t the result the Fury were looking for, partic-ularly as they will likely face the T-Birds once the FCHL post-season gets underway in early February. “We’ll probably end up play-ing Bruno in the opening round,” said Fury Coach Dar-ren (Woody) Wutzke after the game against Warman on Janu-ary 17. “They’re a strong team, depth-wise, and they always play a strong physical game, so we’ll have to be ready for that.”

Wutzke said the Fury are in better shape this season as they gear up for the playoffs. Last year, they were plagued by inju-ries, and struggled with a short bench. “We’ve got a couple guys hurting, but most teams are feeling the bumps and bruises by this time of year,” said Wutz-ke. “I’d say over all we’re okay. At least we have enough bod-ies.” The Warman Wildcats, on the other hand, have some pret-ty big gaps in their lineup. With only 10 skaters on the bench for the Dalmeny game, the Wild-cats just didn’t have the legs or the lungs to last the whole 60 minutes. “We kind of fell asleep for about 15 minutes during the second period,” said Warman coach Nathan Harms after the game. “It was 2-1 after the first period, and we played well in the third frame, but that second period where Dalmeny scored

four quick goals in a row really did us in.” The Wildcats also put up a valiant effort on Saturday, Jan-uary 18 at home against the league-leading Prairie Outlaws, but once again, their short bench was their downfall. The Outlaws won the game 16-5.

ROSTHERN DOWNS HAGUE The Hague Royals, mean-while, came out on the wrong end of a 5-1 loss to the Rosthern Wheat Kings in Rosthern on Saturday, January 18. Hague hosted Warman on Tuesday, January 21 following the Gazette’s press deadline. Rosthern edged Tisdale 8-7 the following day, while the Prairie Outlaws beat the Shell-brook Elks 6-3 on Sunday, Jan-uary 19. The Dalmeny Fury host the Shellbrook Elks on Fri-day, January 24, while Hague hosts Bruno that same evening. Game time for both contests is 8:30 p.m.

In the Saskatchewan AA Ban-tam Hockey League, the old re-cord for most consecutive wins was 12 games. This year the new record of 18 wins in a row belongs to the Sask Valley Vipers. The Vipers tied the old record back on No-vember 16, 2013 with a win over the Regina Monarchs. The Vipers went on to add to that number with six more wins to make it 18-0 before they lost their first game of the sea-son on December 22 to SAAB-HL’s South Division leading

[email protected] Storm. It was a stat Vipers head coach Shaun Priel never real-ized. “I didn’t even know it we had a record,” said Priel in an inter-view. “We take it one game at a time. We go into every game hoping to be successful. I think it is something the kids can be proud of.” With the Vipers heading into its final games of the season, the team shut out its opponents five times, currently has nine play-ers boasting double digit point totals and two of the strongest goaltenders in the league. Joel


Grzybowski is second overall in the league with a 1.69 goals against average. Jake Davidson sits fourth in the league with a 2.33 goals against average. Vipers sniper Jared Hamm, who leads his team is scoring with 24 goals and 13 assists for 37 points said it is the first time he had ever played on a team that had a winning steak as im-pressive as the Vipers have had this year. The last home game of the season before the playoffs will take place against the Prince Albert Venice House Raiders, January 26.
