The Legends Center in Warman is now open for business. The shiny new 1,300-seat hockey

arena was offi cially christened the “Legends Centre” by Warman May-or Sheryl Spence in a ceremony at centre ice on Thursday evening, December 15. Wearing skates for the occasion, the Mayor and fellow town councilors, Gary Philipchuk and Kendall Shram, declared the facility offi cially open on a partial basis. While construction on many parts of the multi-purpose struc-ture will be ongoing over at least the next two years, the hockey arena portion in the north half of the 100,000 square foot building is up and running. About 900 seats have been installed, the centre ice score clock and sound system are in place, and the east-side dressing

room facilities are fully functional. The building, formerly known as the Warman Sport and Cultur-al Village (WSCV), will eventually include an indoor soccer fi eld, and will be physically connected to the new Warman Middle Years School, scheduled to open in the fall of 2013.FIRST STEP OF MANY TO COME “This is a very special night,” said Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence, addressing members of town coun-cil and staff, as well as volunteers with the WSCV committee who helped make the $23 million build-ing a reality. “I want to thank the many peo-ple who have worked very hard to get us where we are today,” she said. “Thank you for all you have done. We appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into this part of the building.” Spence said the town council decided to open the rink portion of the project to provide minor hock-ey teams with additional ice times for practice. “However, we must keep in mind that we have a long way to

go before The Legends Centre will be one-hundred percent complete,” she said. “Currently the rink will only be open for practice time and we ask parents to be watching out for their children because The Leg-ends Centre still has ongoing con-struction taking place.” She said the facility will hold an offi cial “grand opening” next fall. She said a “Recognition Wall” will be incorporated into the build-ing which highlights the contribu-tions of the many supporters of the project over the years. While noting there is still a long way to go before the facili-ty is completely fi nished, she said the opening of the arena marks a major milestone. She said in rec-ognition of a major fi nancial do-nation made by Dave Holst, own-er of Warman Homes and Warman Home Center, the facility is being offi cially named “The Legends Centre”. The new facility is located adjacent to The Legends neighbour-hood as well as The Legends Golf Club in the north end of Warman. “Although these sponsors did

Allegations of a cover-up in the case of Claudia Bryden, a former constable with the

RM of Corman Park Police Service, are being challenged by the former chair of the RM’s police commis-sion. In an interview on Thursday, December 15, Ed Hobday said the amount of money spent by the RM between 2006 and 2010 on an inves-tigation into allegations by Bryden against former Corman Park Police Chief Wayne McGillivray is a mat-ter of public record. Bryden, who was dismissed from the RM Police Service in 2010, appeared before the RM council meeting on Monday, December 12. During her presentation, she esti-mated the RM had spent approxi-mately $1 million on the investi-gation. She also said the fi gures have never been made public, and

accused the former administra-tion, reeve and police commission of covering up the results of the in-vestigation. Bryden said the $33,000 spent by the RM on the investigation into alleged harassment by current RM of Corman Park Reeve Mel Henry “is a drop in the bucket” compared to the amount spent in previous years on her case. Hobday said the actual cost for the Bryden investigation totalled $213,311 over 5 years. “In 2006, council budgeted and spent $20,697,” Hobday stated. “In 2007, the amount was $68,887. In 2008, it was $56,220. In 2009, it was $31,605. In 2010. It was $35,902.” Hobday said the expenditures were over and above Bryden’s sal-ary while she was on paid admin-istrative leave during that time. He added the the expenditures were

Investigation costs properly documented, says former police commission chair


approved by council at public meet-ings, “with each and every invoice” accounted for. He said the fi gures are readily available to any coun-cilor. While conceding the total was a signifi cant amount of money spent over fi ve years, Hobday said it needs to be taken in context. “The commission was abun-dantly fair and thorough in terms of responding to each and every complaint,” he said.BRYDEN’S ALLEGATIONS Bryden was hired by the RM of Corman Park Police Service in 2001. She had earlier been em-ployed with the municipal police service in Martensville before it was dissolved in 1993 as part of the fallout from a seriously-fl awed but widely-publicized police inves-tigation into alleged child sexual abuse. Bryden fi led the fi rst of sever-al complaints against McGillivray in 2006. The initial complaint re-lated to a murder in Langham in 2002, when the Corman Park Po-lice and the RCMP were investigat-ing the death of 20 year old Jackie Watt, who was trying to protect her

friend and son from the boy’s estranged father. Bryden al-leged that McGillivray had or-dered her to destroy some of her notes from that investigation. “I did exactly what I was legal-ly and morally required to do,” Brdyen stated in her presenta-tion to council. “As a result of coming forward with reports of police misconduct, I was bullied out of my position and the issue

was covered up.” Bryden fi led additional com-plaints alleging that the Chief had referred to her as a “token wom-an” on the force, and that he re-minded her of his ex-wife. Bryden was placed on paid administrative leave from the time she fi led her complaints in 2006 until she was dismissed in 2010.THOROUGH INVESTIGATION Hobday said the police com-mission at the time took the com-plaints “extremely seriously” and went to great lengths to ensure they were properly investigated by an arms-length agency. “There is a separation between the police and the political deci-sion-making body,” said Hobday. “Prior to 2002, the police service

For the past sixteen years, fi refi ghters in Martens-ville have been quietly

working behind the scenes, helping spread Christmas cheer to less-fortunate fami-lies in the community. In what has become an annual tradition, the Mar-tensville fi re hall becomes a hive of activity a few days be-fore Christmas, as volunteers fi ll hampers with turkeys, canned goods, and other non-perishable food items. The hampers are then distribut-ed, quietly and confi dentially, to fi nancially-strapped house-holds. It’s a project that carries its own special rewards, ac-cording to Larry Sigfusson, a member of the Martensville Fire Department and a key organizer of the food hamper program. “I joined the fi re depart-ment 18 years ago, and the pro-gram has been going for the last 16 years,” said Sigfusson in an interview last week. “We identifi ed a need in the com-munity at that time. We knew there were families in the area that were in need of a little ex-tra help around Christmas time, so we organized a food drive through the schools. It was well-received, and we de-cided to make it an annual campaign.” The fi refi ghters associa-tion receives help from the Martensville Lions Club, which makes an annual dona-tion, as well as the communi-ty’s Cubs and Scouts, who help pack sort and pack the ham-pers at the fi re hall a few days prior to Christmas. A local manufacturing company, Re-dekop Manufacturing donates turkeys for the hampers. Donations of food are col-lected through the commu-nity’s high school and two elementary schools, noted Sig-fusson. “We also accept do-nations at Martensville City Hall,” he added. Sigfusson said in addition to a Christmas turkey or ham, the hampers contain about two weeks’ worth of food.HELPING NEIGHBOURS Kurtis Dyck, Deputy Chief of the Martensville Fire De-partment and a Martensville City Councilor, said the pro-gram is rewarding for the vol-unteers who take part because it illustrates the “true spirit” of Christmas. “It’s about neighbours helping neighbours,” Dyck said. “Even though we’ve grown to city status, Martens-ville is still a small town in many ways. This is one way of showing how people care about their neighbours.” Dyck said the most re-warding aspect for the volun-teers is knowing they’re help-ing to make a difference in people’s lives at a special time of year. “Lots of people are so thankful, they break down when you show up at their door with the hamper,” he said. “They can’t thank us enough for doing it. That’s re-ally the spirit of Christmas –

it’s about giving.” The list of households re-ceiving hampers is confi den-tial, said Sigfusson. “It’s completely non-judg-mental,” he explained. “We don’t judge circumstances, and we don’t vet the names. Families require help some-times for lots of different reasons. It could be because someone has lost their job or someone has gotten sick and the primary breadwinner has to be at home taking care of that person. We don’t know the personal circumstances of the families and we don’t judge.” He said the names on the list come from a variety of sources, including local churches and City Hall.NUMBERS VARY Over the years, the num-ber of households on the list has varied, a refl ection of changing economic circum-stances. “It’s a little bigger job now than a few years ago,” Sigfus-son said. “You can defi nite-ly tell when times are tough. We tend to get instances, like a couple years ago when the recession hit, we had a few more families that received the hampers. Typically we’ll support anywhere from 8 to 10 families. I think the highest

number we’ve had was about 20 families.” Dyck said there have been instances where people who have received hampers one year have declined the offer in later years because they’ve been able to improve their fi -nancial and personal circum-stances. “That’s also very reward-ing, to know that they’re do-ing better,” said Dyck. Sigfusson said the fi re-fi ghters’ association Christ-mas food hamper program is a strictly seasonal endeavor de-signed to supplement the ongo-ing charitable efforts of local churches and other communi-ty groups. “There are other organiza-tions and resources out there and we hope the people have access to those organizations throughout the rest of the year,” he said. “Our primary goal is strictly at Christmas time.” Sigfusson said the families on the fi refi ghters’ list are the ones that would otherwise fall through the cracks. “There are defi nitely some families that have been on my list for several years,” he ex-plained. “They really appre-ciate the thoughtfulness at Christmas time and it’s a re-ally good feeling of the mem-

bers going out and delivering this stuff to get that thanks up front. It’s one of the highlights of our year.”COMMUNITY EFFORT The fi refi ghters associ-ation, with the help of the Cubs and Scouts in Martens-ville, sort the food and pack the hampers on the Wednes-day evening prior to Christ-mas, and deliver the hampers later that evening around town. “It’s a good community ef-fort,” said Sigfusson. “We have the young people involved so they see that there are fami-lies out there that have a need, and they get involved with the Christmas hamper program at an early age. We pack the hampers and then we go out in a couple of vehicles and start delivering. I pre-phone every-one so I know they’re going to be home, so the stuff isn’t left on the steps.” Sigfusson said the ham-pers will also occasionally contain some gifts for children in the family, but the primary focus is food. “It’s very rewarding to be able to ease the burden for people at Christmas time, and bring a little bit of a smile to their faces,” he concluded.

GEDEBO PROJECT DRAW

WINNERSSydney Merkosky (pictured) drew the winning names at The Clark’s Cross-ing Gazette offi ce last week for the Gedebo Project

fundraising contest. Tracy Buechler was the winner of the WestJet trip, while Jody and Jamie Bak-er won the Re/Max hot air balloon ride. The Gedebo Project’s mission is to build and sustain an or-phanage to provide a safe and secure

environment for the orphans of rural Ethi-opia. Donations are still being accepted for the project. Log on to thegedebo

maining parked in one spot for “an uninteerrupted pe-riod of time in exceess of 48 hours” was distributed last week. The leafl et also reminded residents to ensure that snow and ice cleared from their property is not dumped onto

the street. The bylaws are aimed at helping public works crews ensure the streets are cleaned in the most effi cient and cost-effective manner. Fines for contravention of the bylaws vary between $100 and $200.

Strong academic marks keep paying off for Siera Spar-row of Vanscoy. Two years ago, as a fi rst year university transfer stu-dent at Lakeland College, she received a $1,500 Academic Ex-cellence Scholarship because she had a Grade 11 average above 85 per cent. Now working towards a de-gree in psychology at the Uni-versity of Saskatchewan, Spar-row received a $2,500 transfer scholarship for having the

highest marks of all Lakeland College students who trans-ferred to the university in the fall. “I was originally told I would receive a $1,500 transfer scholarship but the universi-ty increased it to $2,500 when they determined I had the highest average among Lake-land student transferring to the U of S,” she says. “I wasn’t expecting it but it has really helped my fi nancial situation.” She chose to start her uni-versity education at Lakeland because she heard it was a great college with a strong university transfer program. While at Lakeland, Spar-row played soccer and fut-

College experience pays off for Vanscoy studentsal (indoor soccer) for the Rustlers. Despite the many practices and games, Spar-row managed to maintain a high academic average which earned her a spot on the Dean’s Honour Roll last year. Because of her strong marks, she was also named a Canadi-an Collegiate Athletics Associ-ation Scholar. “I’m glad I chose Lake-land. The instructors at Lake-land are very good. They get to know you on a personal lev-el and they really care. My two years at the Lloydminster campus prepared me for the move to university. I’d defi -nitely recommend Lakeland to anyone,” she says.

The success and achieve-ment of all Saskatchewan stu-dents is a priority for the Gov-ernment of Saskatchewan. As such, in an effort to address concerns coming from parents and a petition from the West-ern Initiative for Strengthen-ing Education in Math, the government will be facilitat-ing a consultation and engage-ment process with frontline educators across Saskatche-wan. “The best feedback we can get is to start with our front-line teachers - the ones that are actually teaching the cur-riculum, working with chil-dren and working with par-ents - that’s going to give us some really good dialogue,” Education Minister Donna Harpauer said. To conduct this dialogue, Members of the Legislative As-sembly (MLA) Russ Marchuk and Gene Makowsky who both have education experience in past roles as classroom teach-ers, will be hosting six unique sessions with teachers across the province in late January to early February. Minister Harpauer has initiated this consultation pro-cess by contacting education partners in school divisions, who have been invited to par-ticipate in discussions around the effective instruction of math curriculum.

With the creeks on the rise, one might think it wasn’t such a good year for rural Saskatchewan. Well, it was at least a pretty good year when it came to getting what they wanted out of their govern-ments. Let us quickly review 2011. One of the best news develop-ments for rural Saskatchewan came in February when the government re-versed its long-standing and wrong-headed 65-35 formula for funding rural nursing homes and hospitals to a more equitable 80-20 split. In a Feb. 22 news release, Health Minister Don McMorris announced the pol-icy change as part of $133.1 million in health infrastructure and access improvements – money that included $500,000 for CT services in Melfort, $20.5 million for physician recruit-ment and retention and $49.3 mil-lion for design costs and initial capi-tal construction of nursing homes or hospitals in 13 communities. More good news for rural Sas-katchewan emerged out of the March budget with small business tax cuts, a raise in the basic income tax ex-emption to $14,535 and $55.6 million to reduce education property taxes that resulted in a $31.3-million sav-ings for farmers. Add in road upgrades, a rural revenue-sharing pool increase, a $32-million increase in agriculture spending, a boost to crop insurance coverage and unseeded acreage bene-fi ts, seven new agriculture extension services satellite offi ces in Mead-ow Lake, Lloydminster, Assiniboia, Moosomin, Estevan, Shaunavon and Wadena and a fi ve-year, $26-million renewable diesel program, and this was a pretty good budget for rural Saskatchewan. In May, rural Saskatchewan elected 13 Conservative MPs to a Conservative federal majority gov-ernment. That government has since ended the long-gun registry and the Canadian Wheat Board – much to the delight of many rural people. Meanwhile, the province averted a June teachers’ strike. Premier Brad Wall also put his foot down on strik-ing crop adjusters who attempted to pressure the government by walking off the job instead of processing fl ood damage claims. Notwithstanding the dip in oil prices to the $80-a-barrel range, it

was a relatively quiet July and Au-gust that allowed rural folks to dry out from the spring fl ood. But things quickly got a lot noisi-er in the fall with September pre-elec-tion announcements of new hospitals for North Battleford and Moose Jaw. The October election campaign was chock-full of promises – especial-ly from Dwain Lingenfelter and the NDP - who staked their re-election hopes on spending an additional $3.1 billion in the coming four years. But it was obviously the good-ies specifi cally for rural Saskatche-wan from the Sask. Party and Wall that caught rural voters’ attention. Among them were plans to get more health care professionals in the fi eld through $120,000 forgivable loans for new doctors, nurse practitio-

ners and nurses willing to relocate to under-served rural areas for fi ve years. The Sask. Party also prom-ised 20 additional seats for nurse practitioner training, a 20-doctor ru-ral locum pool to relieve rural physi-cians in need of a break, pilot proj-ects for emergency services training in southwest and the STARS (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society) medical helicopter program. The November vote produced a couple fi rsts in Saskatchewan elec-toral history – the fi rst time the win-ning governing party cracked the 60-per-cent barrier in popular vote and the fi rst time all rural candi-dates wound up on the government side in Wall’s 49-seat landslide. With no cabinet changes, it was quickly back to business for the Wall government. The mid-year fi nancial update in early December suggested that $240 million in fl ood costs had pushed the provincial defi cit to $304 million. This was followed by an un-eventful December sitting of the leg-islature. All in all, though, this would have to be considered a pretty good year for rural folk.

Reader Opinions

The word “democracy” has of-ten been used in events leading up to Municipal Affairs Minister Dar-ryl Hickie’s announcement last week regarding the realignment and reduction of electoral divisions in Corman Park. In trying to come to some great-er degree of understanding of the word “democracy,” I came across the writings of Jom K. Bramann. He writes: “If the majority of the people are too uninformed, lack-adaisical or apathetic to make the democratic process rational and ef-fective, then they just reveal their inherent nature. It is the people’s own disposition that makes them disregard enlightenment and thus dependent on some sort of rulers. If people did not naturally have the disposition they display in a dys-functional democracy, other people would not be able to exploit and mis-lead them the way they do. (Govern-ments) do not create popular igno-rance and apathy, they only use it for their own purposes - in the same

Democracy needs an informed electorate

I need to respond to Dale Janzen’s letter – Reeve Henry available 24/7 – as he has written some erroneous information. Janzen’s mistakes are surprising considering he is married to current RM Councilor Joanne Jan-zen who should know the facts. Tammy Knuttila, Corman Park’s former administrator, is in fact not a Chartered Accountant as Janzen states; he should get his designations correct. Janzen also states that in Octo-ber 2010 the ratepayers gave an over-whelming majority to Reeve Mel Hen-ry that would support change and Henry’s behaviour. In fact in October 2010 the vote for Reeve had 16 percent of the electorate turn out to vote of that 16% Henry got 9%. I’m not sure where Janzen studied math but no-

where have I ever seen 9% being an overwhelming majority. Janzen also states Henry is avail-able 24/7 – personally I don’t care if he is available 24/7. I will contact Henry if needed during normal work hours – I do expect the Reeve to be a leader, a team builder, a person with vision, a person who treats oth-ers with respect, a person fi scally re-sponsible and a person who does not bully. Henry lacks all of these abili-ties and characteristics. I hope we can give Janzen his math wish once again and in October 2012 for the next vote for Reeve we give Henry his resounding majority of 9% of the vote, as that is all Henry deserves.

Robert Billo, RatepayerRM Corman Park

Your re-elected Saskatchewan Party government went back to work very quickly with a short but important fall session of the legislature. Over the last two weeks, our government laid out the steps we will take over the next four years to continue to move Saskatchewan forward. We re-affi rmed our commitments to responsibly manage the province’s historic growth, improve the quality of life for all Saskatchewan people, make life more affordable and to be accountable to you: the electorate. Your government moved quickly to keep several promises we made dur-ing the recent election campaign through the introduction of several pieces of important legislation. Simply put, we did what we said we would do. We followed through on our promise to provide more support for people with diabetes, by moving two long-acting insulins from Exception Drug Sta-tus onto the provincial drug formulary and to expand the Children’s Insulin Pump Program to cover residents up to the age of 25. With the large increase in economic activity in Saskatchewan in recent years, we introduced a motion regarding the creation of a lobbyist registry. With historic growth come new challenges, including paid government lobby-ists playing a greater role in our province. We also promised during the campaign to continue to improve the qual-ity of life for Saskatchewan people with disabilities through further enhance-ments to the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program. Starting in January, more than 3,000 SAID recipients who live in residential care settings will receive a $50 per month increase to their benefi ts. Over the next four years benefi ts for those living independently will increase by $350 per month. We kept our word on an important promise we made that will help fi rst-time home buyers and families. Effective January 1st, the First-Time Home-buyers Tax Credit comes into effect. It will provide a $1,100 non-refundable tax credit by applying a provincial tax credit of 11 per cent to the fi rst $10,000 of an eligible home purchase. Also becoming effective in the New Year is an expansion of the Active Families Benefi t. It has been expanded to include all children under the age of 18. The Active Families Benefi t provides an income tax benefi t of up to $150 per child to help with the costs of cultural, recreational and sports activities. And, fi nally, we introduced legislation that keeps the Premier’s commit-ment for the 2012-13 school year to begin after the Labour Day long weekend. Amendments to The Education Act, 1995, mean the earliest students will be-gin the school year is the fi rst day following Labour Day and the school year will end by June 30. Over the coming weeks, the world slows down providing us with an op-portunity to refl ect and give thanks. While I am always thankful for the love and support of friends and family, I would be remiss if I did not also thank you for your support. On November 7, 2011, you made history by giving the Saskatchewan Party a strong mandate to lead our province into the future. Over the next four years, I will do everything in my power to honour that trust, each and every day. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

way a seller of dubious merchandise does not create lack of buyer discre-tion, but only exploits that defi cien-cy. “If a democracy is dysfunction-al, then this is only a natural state of affairs, a logical outgrowth of the natural constitution of most human beings. The majority of the people are simply not made to be interest-ed students and disciplined citizens. Most people just desire amusement and the freedom to do what they like.” Plato describes the prevalent disposition of “democratic man” in his book, “The Republic.” “He lives from day to day in-dulging the appetite of the hour, and sometimes he is lapped to drink and strains of the fl ute; then he be-comes a water-drinker, and tries to get thin; then he takes a turn at gymnastics; sometimes idling and neglecting everything, then once more living the life of a philosopher; often he is busy with politics, and starts to his feet and says and does

whatever comes into his head; and, if he is emulous of anyone who is a warrior, off he is in that direction, or of men of business, once more in that. His life has neither law nor or-der; and this distracted existence he terms joy and bliss and freedom; and so he goes on.” In the words of scholar and jour-nalist H.L. Mencken: “The longer I live, the more I am convinced that the common people are doomed to be diddled forever.” Democracy works best with an educated, engaged electorate. The decisions of any good gov-ernment are determined more so by the character of the individuals who make up the government than the number of individuals who make up the government.

The Town of Langham is rolling out a proposed vision for the future of

the community. A new Offi cial Communi-ty Plan (OCP) has been sev-eral years in the making, and is now open for public in-put, according to Langham Town Administrator Randy Sherstobitoff. In an interview last week with The Gazette, Sherstobitoff explained that the OCP repre-sents a “forward-looking vi-sion” for the community, and is aimed at mapping out an overall approach to managing anticipated future growth. “It’s a way of looking 20 to 25 years into the future,” Sherstobitoff said. “It gives the town a chance to look at some things that may be happen-ing in a few years and help us iron out some of the little folds and wrinkles now, so they

don’t hold up the process later on.” Sherstobitoff said the OCP looks at potential land re-quirements for the communi-ty, and what that land will be used for. “We used to call them basic planning statements,” he said. “The last one was done in 1985, so the time was right to come up with a new plan. It’s been over 20 years.” He said the process for the new OCP was ac-tually begun in 2005. “We started talking about the need to update the plan at that time,” he stated. “But the process really began in earnest in 2008 with more in-depth planning. At that time we brought in Crosby Hanna and Associates as the consulting fi rm to draft some-thing concrete.” Sherstobitoff said provin-cial guidelines implemented

six years ago require munici-palities to have an OCP pre-pared by certifi ed profession-als. He noted that an open house was held in 2010 and dis-cussions were held with resi-

dents at that time. He said the OCP “took a little longer than anticipated” but that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. “It gives people a little more time to have a se-rious second look at what’s be-ing proposed,” he noted. The OCP bylaw and pro-posed zoning bylaw have passed fi rst reading by

Langham Town Council, and are now open for comments by the public, Sherstobitoff said. The proposals for land use and rezoning contained in the draft OCP were published in

large full-page ads in two consecutive issues of the Clark’s Crossing Gazette. The outline of the plan and zoning bylaw chang-es are being publicized to give people an oppor-tunity to see the propos-als. The proposed OCP and zoning bylaws can be viewed at the Langham town offi ce during reg-ular offi ce hours. The

advertisements can also be found online at The Gazette’s website (www.ccgazette.ca) by following the link to “Current and Past Issues” and locating the December 1 or December 8 issue. A public hearing is slated for January 16, 2012 to hear any person or group that wish-es to comment on the proposed

zoning bylaw or OCP bylaw. Sherstobitoff said the pub-lic hearing is a forum where people can speak to the pro-posals. “It’s not a question and an-swer session,” he said. “It’s a process where they can speak or provide written comments, and council will hear them. It’s open not just to Langham residents, but also to com-ments from neighouring mu-nicipalities.” The process is aimed at promoting cooperation be-tween municipalities, and minimizing the potential for confl ict, he said.

The proposed OCP proj-ects a considerable amount of land to be used for residential housing to the north, east and southeast of the current devel-oped areas. “There is a lot of land to the east that will be set aside for residences,” he noted. “It could accommodate between 600 to 700 lots.” The current rate of growth for new residential dwellings in Langham is running about three to four per cent annually since 2008, said Sherstobitoff. “That works out to about 15

Hiring a full-time fi nan-cial offi cer at the RM of Corman Park offi ce

is helping to address problems experienced in past years. In a presentation at the RM’s council meeting Decem-ber 12, independent auditor Jeff Stromberg said the 2010 audit was delayed as a result of problems with the RM’s re-cord-keeping. While Stromberg said there were no indications of fraud or misspending, he said the delays added about 20 to 25 per cent more to the cost of the audit. A letter dated November 30, 2011, from the accounting fi rm of Jensen Stromberg to the RM council was read aloud by Stromberg at the direction of Corman Park Reeve Mel Henry. In the letter, Stromberg stated at the time his offi ce was asked to commence the audit of the fi nancial state-ments of the RM of Corman

Audit headaches easing for RM of Corman ParkPark, the accounting records did not appear to be fi nalized or reconciled. “As a result, we were not able to complete the audit for the RM of Corman Park’s fi -nancial statements until the RM hired its fi nancial offi cer, Bob Paisley. (Paisley) recon-ciled many of the general led-ger accounts of the RM,” stat-ed Stromberg. The auditor noted in the letter that the Municipalities Act requires the RM adminis-trator to maintain a complete and accurate account of assets and liabilities, and all trans-actions affecting the fi nancial position of the municipality, in accordance with Generally Ac-cepted Accounting Principles. Among other require-ments, the RM is obliged to provide monthly bank recon-ciliations, along with a recon-cilation of all assets and liabil-ity accounts. “At the time of our audit, these statements did not ap-pear to reconcile to the relat-ed general ledger accounts or


were simply not available for our review,” stated Strom-berg, reading from the letter. “Once the RM hired Bob Pais-ley, it was confi rmed that the various statements of school tax liabilities did not recon-cile to the general ledger of the RM. In future years, we recommend that the adminis-trator maintain an accurate and complete set of fi nancial records of the RM, including timely reporting to these vari-ous third parties that the RM collects funds on behalf of.” Stromberg also recom-mended the RM submit its fi -nancial records to the auditor by March 31 annually, so that the fi nal audit can be complet-ed by May. The RM’s fi nancial statements are due on June 30 each year. Henry blamed the former administrator for the past problems and said progress is now being made in bringing the records up to date. Councilor Perry Ulrich said the RM is “very fortu-nate” to have a fi nancial of-

fi cer of Paisley’s calibre and said it’s important to have good accounting records. Ul-rich noted that one of the rea-sons there were delays in the 2010 fi nancial records was that the staff at the time was “un-der extreme stress and pres-sure.” In response to a question from councilor David Fox, Stromberg said 2010 was a dif-fi cult year for many munici-palities across Saskatchewan because of a change in the way municipalities were required to account for municipal as-sets and liabilities. “There were complications with respect to tangible as-sets, such as roads and sewers and so on, and getting them recorded in the overall fi na-nicial statement,” confi rmed Stromberg. “It was a transi-tion year. It made the state-ments very complex and other municipalities also had delays. But of the 25 municipalities we audited, this is the only one that was completed after the deadline of June 30.”

The Government of Sas-katchewan has announced that $2 million will be allo-cated to the Secondary Suite Program to support the devel-opment of approximately 70 to 100 secondary suites over the next two to three years. The goal is to increase uptake of the program and to increase the supply of rental housing in the province. “We are following through with another promise under the provincial housing strate-gy,” Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Cor-poration June Draude said. “We said that we would im-prove Saskatchewan Housing Corporation’s Secondary Suite program to increase program participation, and we are mov-ing on that now. This initia-tive will help speed the de-velopment of housing that is

Enhanced secondary suite program takes effect Jan. 1affordable for Saskatchewan people, a commitment that we take very seriously.” Secondary suites are self-contained living units created within single-family homes. These suites include a kitch-en, bathroom and a separate entrance, and provide another affordable housing option. The Secondary Suite Pro-gram provides eligible hom-eowners and rental property owners with fi nancial assis-tance to build or renovate a secondary suite. In response to increased construction costs over the past two years, the level of assistance will be up to 50 per cent of the con-struction costs to a maximum of $30,000 per unit (an in-crease from the previous max-imum of $24,000). Further, the loan forgiveness period will be reduced from 10 to fi ve years. These enhancements are effec-

tive January 1, 2012. Taking advantage of the fl exibility provided under the Investment in Afford-able Housing 2011-2014 (IAH) agreement, which was signed in September 2011, second-ary suite support will now be cost-shared with the federal government. Under the IAH, a total of $55 million was al-located to affordable housing programs. Secondary suites will be targeted to low- to moderate-income households. Gross household income of tenants must be within established Maximum Income Limits (MILs), which are reviewed annually. Current income lim-its are $52,000 for a household with dependents and $44,500 for a household without depen-dents.

to 20 new homes per year,” he stated. “It’s been steady. It’s not unbridled growth, but that’s good in many ways be-cause it’s allowed us to make sure our infrastructure keeps up with that growth.” He added Langham has upgraded many aspects of its infrastructure in recent years and the water plant was built with expansion in mind. “We have upgraded the fi lters and we have the capac-ity for more growth,” he said. “Right now our water system is in good shape. But if a pro-posal came in for 200 lots all

at once, for example, then we would have to look at digging another well or increasing our holding capability.” He noted that the sewer infrastructure is also cur-rently adequate, but will need to be upgraded at some point. “Right now we’re working on getting our new lift station in,” Sherstobitoff continued. “Once that is in place, our movement of sewer is in good shape for a while, but we’re getting to the edge, especial-ly with the high water tables in the last year or two. And we’re nearing the end of the useful life of the current la-

goon so the planning process for dealing with that is al-ready underway. We’ve been looking at that for the past two years but you don’t just come up with $3.5 million or $4 million from your back pocket. It takes planning.” He said there have been moves by the provincial and federal governments to pro-vide more reliable and con-sistent sources of funding to municipalities over the past couple of years. “The gas tax is a source of predictable funding, for example,” he said. “And the Saskatchewan Urban Munic-

ipalities Association (SUMA) is working to get long-term funding from the province for infrastructure.” In addition to planning for growth in residential ar-eas, the Langham OCP is also preparing for growth in its commercial and industrial sectors. A strip of land that runs parallel to Highway 16 on the north side of the road is pro-jected for commercial devel-opment, while industrial and commercial development is planned for both sides of the highway west of the commu-nity.

LANGHAM PLANS Continued from Page 3 Agrium is adding 40 percent to the production capacity of its potash mine near Vanscoy. The $1.5 billion expansion is ex-pected to be complete by 2015. Agrium announced last week that the planned Brownfi eld Expansion will see a new processing train added to the exist-ing facility. Once the underground production is ramped up, the expansion is expected to add an average of 750,000 tonnes of an-nual potash capacity to the mine. The expansion is expected to generate close to 80 project-based jobs in the areas of project management, construction management and functional business. The construction phase of the project is expected to require more than 800 tradepersons at its peak, and approximately three million man-hours to com-plete. According to Agrium, the construction work on the capac-ity addition is expected to be completed in 2012 and 2013. Addi-tional tonnage expansion is expected to be available in 2014. A total production capacity of 2.8 million tonnes is expected to be achieved in 2015.

SOUNDS LIKE CHRISTMAS IS NEARStudents from Warman Elementary School entertained friends and family at the annual Christmas Concert held Thursday, December 15. Above, Logan Hildebrandt gets up close and personal with the camera while Chloe Klassen and Emily Fast are (pictured at left) sing along with classmates (top left photo).

What makes someone look at their life and think, I want to trav-

el thousands of miles away, leave all my comforts of home behind and volunteer? For Christy and Colin Zacharias it was a no brain-er. “We started sponsoring children in 1998. We (just) had a daughter and becom-ing a parent made me realize I needed to make the world better. I had always said I wanted to sponsor a child, and I fi nally put my prover-bial money where my mouth was. In 2006 my sister told me about the World Vision Canada volunteer program and I signed up immediately. Colin jumped on board soon after. The volunteers and staff have become like fam-ily and doing World Vision events is a passion for us both,” says the bubbly moth-

er. The dynamic husband and wife really are a dynam-ic duo, sponsoring fi ve kids in Zambia, Rwanda, Ugan-da and Malawi. They are ex-cited to be a part of World Vision’s Destination life Change program and will be visiting their newest sponsor child, a fi ve-year-old named Lozibe, “I can’t wait to meet her and her family,” Christy happily says. The Destination Life Change volunteers are child sponsors with the desire and ability to motivate others to get involved. These volun-teers come together over one common goal – to meet the children they sponsor, see where their money is going and the impact it is making to the children and commu-nities. Christy and Colin are ex-pecting to see a lot and are ready for whatever emotions may come up, “the statistics

in Malawi are staggering - HIV/AIDS, unemployment, orphaned children - so many heavy things that I know will give us pause and break our hearts, but we get the ex-traordinary pleasure of not only visiting a newer project just beginning the sponsor-ship cycle, but we also get to visit another project that is near the end to see its suc-cess. So I think we’ll see the unique mixture of heart-break and hopefulness.” What does Christy think about taking on this jour-ney with her husband? She thinks it’s fantastic. “We are so thrilled to be able to do this together! Through this process, countless times, we have said to each oth-er ‘I am so glad I get to do this with you!’ We have an amazing marriage and trav-elling together makes any-where home. We each posses a unique set of skills and to-gether we are able to create

a fuller picture of what we see than we would working alone. These experiences re-mind me of all of the amaz-ing abilities my husband has and makes me grateful that we get to be on this journey- combining our skills with our passion for Africa.” The Zacharias’ message to other Canadians is a sim-ple one, “When we met our sponsored girl Phannet in Zambia last year, I remem-ber feeling so blown away by how much value you get for your money. In Canada $40 doesn’t buy you much, but there it buys a life-changing hope. Having seen it myself, I can’t imagine not helping children and families in this way if we have the means to do so. For about the cost of a Timmy’s a day, we can be the difference in a child’s life. These fi rst-hand experienc-es have made us re-think how we spend every dime we have been given.”

SportsCLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2011 • PG. 15

Blades on wrong kind of ‘slide’ heading into Christmas break While the weather in Saskatoon hasn’t been con-

fl ating us and then they’re taking advantage of it.” The Bridge City Bunch have gone from being the top team in the entire West-ern Hockey League after 25 games to being in a tie for sixth place in the Eastern Conference with the Regina Pats while in the midst of 10 off days with a 20-14-1 re-cord.

“We’ll be busy over the holidays here on the phone just to see what’s out there,” responded Saskatoon gener-al manager and head coach Lorne Molleken when asked if he’ll be looking at making changes to his roster. “But, anything we do this year will have to impact next year with the Memorial Cup (the Blades will be the host

team in the C.H.L. champi-onship tournament in May, 2013). “It’s a situation that we’ll look at very closely. Trades aren’t the answer to every-thing…we’d like to build from within, but there’s some things that we need to address and we’ll take care of that over the holidays plus heading up until the dead-line (for trades on January 10).” Until that happens, the Blades will be looking to stop the slide and get off!

*****BLADES PLAYER OF THE WEEK – One of the most con-sistent performers through the fi rst 35 games of the sea-son is recognized with this writer’s award…even though the three losses last week don’t feel that good for Jes-se Paradis. But, the 20-year-old left winger has equaled his goal output of last season in Moose Jaw already with nine. Add in a team-leading 20 assists and the Winnipeg product has a career high 29 points with half a season re-maining. His consistency is evidenced by the fact he has picked up a scoring point in 24 of 35 games while playing a solid defensive game.

TAKING EXCEPTIONJustin Edin (61) of the Dalmeny Fury looks on as teammate Cory Harder takes a shot at Cody Wutzke of the Warman Wild-cats during the fi rst period of their Fort Carlton Hockey League contest on Friday night. Harder, who received a double minor for roughing, was re-sponding to an accidental high stick on Edin by the Wildcats’ Doug Harms. Scott Giroux and Jessie Gaida each potted a pair of goals as the Fury dumped Warman by a score of 7-3.

dusive to “sliding”, the Saskatoon Blades are have

been on a hockey version of “Pest Hill” going into the Christmas break. A trio of home-ice losses last week…6-3 to Kamloops on Wednesday, 4-2 against Moose Jaw on Friday and 5-1 versus Kelowna on Sat-urday…put a sour end to the unoffi cial fi rst half of the 2011-2012 campaign for the Bridge City Bunch. “It’s not the way you want to go into the break,” explained left winger Chris Collins, who scored the lone Saskatoon goal Saturday against the Rockets. The fi rst 35 games have been extremely different when it comes to results for the Blades. They matched last season’s quick start through 25 games with an 18-6-1 record before tumbling to a 2-8 mark in the fi nal 10 games. “In our last 10 games, they’ve been those type of games where we have op-portunities to put the puck in the net and we’re missing those opportunities,” said Saskatoon defenceman and captain Duncan Siemens. “Their team is building off of that momentum off of those big saves and missed oppor-tunities and it’s kind of de-

not want their offi cial working name on the building, they sup-ported the suggestion for The Legends Centre that came from a Warman Sports and Cultur-al Village Committee member and was endorsed by the com-mittee as a whole,” Spence add-ed. “The Legends Centre name seemed to fi t in to the work-ing plans of the neighbourhood and we are very proud to in-troduce to our community, our region and beyond our offi cial name for the facility: The Leg-ends Centre.” Gary Philipchuk described the decade of work involved in building the new hockey arena as “a journey” and said several individuals played a major role in keeping things on track, in-cluding Paul McGonigal, man-ager of parks and communi-ty services for the Town of Warman, former WSCV Cam-paign Coordinator Mark Camp-bell and current campaign co-ordinator Heather Chatfi eld. He also thanked the original members and current volun-teer members of the building campaign committee. Warman town councilor Kendall Shram, an ordained minister, recited a short prayer as a way of blessing the facility, noting that recreation is an im-portant part of every commu-nity. Corporate sponsorships are a vital part of the fundraising

efforts of the facility, noted Spence. Advertising and spon-sorships are helping to offset the cost of operations at the new multipurpose facility. All-Weather Windows, an Edmonton-based manufactur-ing company with a branch offi ce in Saskatoon, is one of those major corporate donors. That company has fi nanced a new zamboni and Aaron Lat-imer, vice-president of mar-keting for the company, stated “We are a giving organization and we are committed to giving back to the communities which support us. We are honoured to play a part in the development of The Warman Sport & Cul-tural Village and excited for the people of Warman who will use this wonderful facility.”DREAM TO REALITY Sharon Doell, one of the original members of the cam-paign committee, was on hand for the event. In an interview prior to taking a skate around the brand-new ice surface, she said it was “an exciting night” because the dream had fi nally become a reality. “It’s been so many years in the making,” she said. “This facility is so badly-needed in town. And to see it completed to the stage it is, and to look at what’s been accomplished, is unbelievable. It’s very reward-ing.” Doell said the campaign

for a new rink began about 10 years ago. “I remember the fi rst meet-ing,” she said. “We met in the old town offi ce, in the old coun-cil chambers. And a bunch of us threw out ideas of what we wanted to see, and we started making preliminary plans. It was really a brainstorming ses-sion where we fi gured out what the town needed, and what we wanted to see in a new facility.” Doell said some people, in-cluding herself, wanted to see a curling rink included in the overall plan, but it didn’t work out that way. In the end, she said, it’s a facility that will ben-efi t the entire community. “As the years went by, we brought in more partners and more volunteers with more ideas, and it just went from there.” She said the vision of the overall facility changed as cir-cumstances changed. “Originally, I sure didn’t envision anything this big or this grand,” she said. “We started off small and it just kept on growing.” She said initially, the proj-ect was budgeted to cost about $6 million, and work was be-gun.

“But that was before the prices skyrocketed,” she noted. “When we actually got the ten-ders out, everything was boom-ing and construction costs were going through the roof. In a very short time our costs tri-pled and that was heartbreak-

ing at the time because we knew we could do it with the smaller budget, but the higher costs really set us back.” The partnership between the Town of Warman, the Prai-rie Spirit School Division and the province – which created

plans to connect the new mid-dle school with The Legends Centre – rekindled the project and gave it a fresh start, Doell added. “It really helped to give us what we needed to get it where it is now.”

NEW LOOKThe Martensville Sports Centre is sporting a new look these days as the signage on the south side of the building has been

changed to incorporate the city’s new logo. New signs will also be installed shortly over the main doors of the hockey rink and curl-ing rink entrances.

Dalmeny Curling Club meets goal through fundraising efforts The Dalmeny Curling Club’s fundraising events have raised a total of $2098 - helping the club meet its goal for annu-al operating expenses. Pat Sullivan, a member of the curling club and chair of the fundraising committee, said the club’s raffl e and walk-athon were on target, and he thanked members of the com-munity for contributing. Meanwhile, the curling club is hopeful that ice will be put in the rink in the near fu-

ture. Problems with the build-ing’s furnace and electrical system resulted in frozen wa-terlines bursting. Those prob-lems are currently being dealt with, noted Sullivan. The curling club’s regular leagues are currently playing at the Langham Curling Club, and Sullivan said the coopera-tion between the two clubs is very benefi cial. “We’re hopeful we’ll get things back on track over the Christmas break,” he said.

in Corman Park was under the directon of a committee of council. In 2002, we for-mally established a Board of Police Com-missioners, as stipulated under provincical legislation, which prescribes that you have to have non-political people on the com-mmission as well.” He noted that all expenditures related to the Corman Park Police Service are under “double scrutiny” by both the Police Com-mission and the Corman Park Council. The investigation into the complaints by Bryden was conducted by the Regina Police Service. That investigation, which took aproximately one year to complete, conclud-ed that McGillivray was “not guilty” of any offense. “The chief was exonerated in 2008 of the serious charges,” said Hobday. “But there remained outstanding, at that time, the is-sue around the comment about the token female.” That complaint was referred to the Saskatchewan Human RIghts Commission. Bryden has not had access to the Regina Police Commission report, and she main-tains that this denial is part of an ongoing coverup. In her presentation to council at the December 12 meeting, Bryden stated that in

2006, two members were “removed” from the RM Police Commission. “I fi led my offi cial complaint with Ed Hobday, the chair of the Police Commis-sion, on November 22, 2006,” Bryden told the council meeting. “And before he shared my complaint with the rest of the board, he dismissed Joe Kasahoff.” Hobday said the change in membership of the police commission actually occured on November 13, 2006, more than a week be-fore Bryden lodged her complaint. The RM council as a whole, at an open meeting, de-cided on which council members would be on the various committees, noted Hobday. “This is a process that happens annu-ally,” Hobday said. “In terms of the police commission, the practice was to rotate councilors.” Hobday said there was “no hint” from Bryden that she was going to lodge a com-plaint. “It came out of the blue,” he said.

Weekly HoroscopesCAPRICORNThe countdown begins. Make sure you cross all your Ts and dot all your Is, Capricorn. An organization makes a plea. Heed the call only if you can.

AQUARIUSPassion ignites, and you whisk that special someone off on an adventure. Pick your battles at work carefully, Aquarius. Not everything is worth fighting for.

PISCESYou’re playing your cards too tight. Open up, Pisces, and let others in. You won’t believe the difference it makes. A plan comes full circle.

ARIESUh-uh-uh, Aries. The report is not finished yet. Give it one more review. Something is amiss. Music lightens the mood at home and gets everyone into the spirit.

TAURUSPlans must be altered quickly in order to attend a last-minute holiday function. All will not be for naught, as you will have more fun than you expected, Taurus.

GEMINIVolunteerism is a gift in and of itself. Don’t be afraid to partake of it and bestow it on another, Gemini. Some-thing thought long gone reappears.

CANCERKeep your eye on the ball, Cancer. Distractions beckon at every turn. The whirlwind of activity at home comes to an abrupt end, thanks to some savvy thinking.

LEOThe key to good times lies in friends and family. Make sure you’re surrounded by many, Leo. A gift from the heart warms a friend’s heart.

VIRGOLines grow longer every day, but you manage the has-sle with ease with a young friend by your side, Virgo. A short road trip does you a world of good.

LIBRAHealth crises cease, giving a relative a new lease on life. Invite them over to celebrate, Libra, and let this be a les-son to you that changes in lifestyle do matter.

SCORPIORest finally comes after a whirlwind of activity. Savor the moment, Scorpio. It may be a while before you have time to yourself again.

SAGITTARIUSYour finances take a beating, but you manage to bounce back quickly. Childcare issues are not as compli-cated as they seem. Think, Sagittarius, think.

Warman golfer off to World Youth Challenge tournament in Florida

While most Canadi-ans will likely be glued to their TV

sets watching the World Ju-nior Hockey Championships over the Christmas break, a young golfer from Warman will be competing in another world-calibre tournament on a Florida golf course. Cole Bergen, a Warman High School student who claimed the fi rst-ever Leg-ends Golf Club junior cham-pionship last summer, has accepted an invitation to par-ticipate in the Canadian Ju-nior Golf Association (CJGA) World Youth Challenge. The tournament, spon-sored by Golfweek magazine, is a ranked event that has at-tracted many top young golf-ers from 20 countries over its 19-year history. Many of those golfers have gone on to become recognized names on the PGA Tour. The 19th annual CJGA World Youth Challenge is slated for December 27-30 at the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, near Tampa Bay, Florida. The annual open event is a three day individual stroke play competition that will also include a Parent/Junior best-ball on the fi rst day. Juniors will have the opportunity to play the Cop-perhead Course (fi rst and fi -nal rounds), home of the PGA Tour Transitions Champion-ship. The Highlands North Course will play host to the second round of competition. Sheldon Bergen, Cole’s fa-ther, will be heading to the tournament with his son. He says it offers a great opportu-nity to share a unique father-son experience by playing on one of the top-ranked courses in the United States. “Cole has always loved to golf,” said Bergen in a telephone interview Decem-ber 8. “He’s kind of a natu-ral at it. He’s had a few les-sons, but mostly it just comes


Cole Bergen of Warman heads to Florida next week

naturally to him. Last year he participated in several junior golf tournaments in Saskatchewan as part pf the Maple Leaf Junior Tour.” While his son “struggled a bit this past year as a result of growing 6 or 7 inches” and has had to readjust his golf swing, Bergen said Cole’s distances off his drives are longer because of his added strength. The discipline that comes from playing in a lot of tournaments has also helped his son mature, he noted. “I give him a lot of credit when it comes to teeing off in front of a crowd of people,” he said. “That sort of thing makes most people pretty nervous.” Bergen said he is excited about the prospect of his son

playing in the world chal-lenge tournament. “It’s a bit inconvenient over Christmas,” he said. “But Cole’s eyes just lit up when he got the invitation, and it’s the kind of opportu-nity that doesn’t come along all that often.” To get in top form for the event, Cole Bergen practices in a room in the basement of the family home. “I set up a simulated hitting range in the basement,” explained Sheldon Bergen. “We have 9-foot ceilings, and a portion of the basement is walled off in a U-shape with a big cur-tain. There’s a mat and rub-ber tees, so Cole can hit down there for an hour a day.” The Canadian Junior Golf Association is a national junior golf association dedi-cated to providing high level competition and instruction to Canada’s junior golfers. The CJGA competitive devel-opmental program begins at the age of fi ve where begin-ning golfers are introduced to the game through the CJGA Junior Linkster Pro-gram that offers over 80 tour stops across Canada and in-cludes regional, provincial, and national championships. The elite junior is also able to represent the CJGA and Canada at a number of inter-national events. Established in 1993, the Canadian Junior Golf Asso-ciation had a specifi c goal in mind – to give junior golfers in Canada an opportunity to develop their competitive skills.

The members of Radisson Co-op are being asked to have input on whether the proposed move of the liquor franchise and business from 321 Main St. to the hardware store at 127 Main St. should proceed.

Mem-bers are asked to send in their input to the Radisson Co-op Assoc. Ltd at Box 9, Radisson, by January 14, 2012. Nominations were open until December 16 for people to nominate a Radisson Com-munity Person of the Year 2011 and the results will be announced at the end of the

JY came to Canada from Korea in 2000 as a land-ed immigrant, is a Canadian citizen and has been working in Vancouver in the restau-rant business for the past 10 years. His motto is that the customer is always right and he appreciates everyone that stops in whether local or off the highway. He wants to pro-vide the best service possible and will educate the staff to al-ways please the customer and to be very welcoming and po-lite. They will be changing the menu slightly in the new year, adding oriental dishes and homemade burgers.

over the past year

Bank. Daryl Wiebe was emcee for the program and the Ad-venture Club children did a skit called Good News Flash when the reporters were to go out and gather the news on an upcoming birth and to interview shepherds and inn keepers. Everyone sang What Child is This? And O Come Let Us Adore Him to end the greatest story ever told. Pastor Tony Martens read a story about a School Nativ-ity Play and about Joseph, the forgotten hero of the sto-ry, who was one of the most important characters in the birth of Jesus. The children then depict-ed the Nativity story, with fi shermen untangling nets, a video is shown of His Birth, Mary & Joseph arrive, then baby Jesus and fi nally the angels and shepherds go to see the newborn while the congregation sang Joy to the

World. Gayle Wensley played guitar & sang It’s Christ-mas Time on the Prairies, followed by everyone sing-ing Silent Night, Away in a Manger, and O Little Town of Bethlehem with Pam Pid-werbesky playing piano. The older students from the United Church put on a puppet play about Tyrone & Jolene and Tyrone wanting lots of toys but not to give presents himself. Jolene tells him there is more to Christ-mas than toys or presents, and that the greatest gift was the baby Jesus who was born to give us everlasting life and died to forgive all our sins, and that is why we give gifts to others and they can be making & giving cook-ies, making cards or helping a neighbour or older person with chores. The Youth Group then performed a skit about an Angel That was Not so Per-

fect, with a bible reading about the birth and all the young adults dressed in cos-tume for the nativity scene, closing with singing Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Daryl thanked all those who helped with the supper and program, special thanks to Kathy Wiebe for her work with the Adventure Club kids and then candy bags were given to all children and oranges for everyone.

MOVING ONNeufeld Building Movers were busy Monday and Tuesday preparing to move Warman’s former post offi ce building from its location on Klassen Street. Most recently occupied by Martensville MLA Nancy Heppner, the building belongs to the Town of Warman and was relocated to Prairie Oa-sis Park in the centre of the ball diamonds. Once complete, the facility will reportedly house a con-cession and washrooms. The vacant lot left be-hind on Klassen Street will be developed but no further details were made available.(Clark’s Crossing Gazette photo by Terry Jenson)
