It’s been a long journey, but Calvary United Church has finally taken the last step.
On Sunday, the Prince Albert church elected to join the Saskatchewan Conference of the United Church and the Tamarack Presbytery in becoming an open and affirming congregation. The move means the church has formalized its commitment to accept and support people of all sexual orientations and gender diversities.
Although the decision wasn’t formalized until Sunday, congregants said the subjects of inclusion and diversity has been on their minds for years. After all that time, they said it was only natural to make it official.
“The journey has been a long one for this congregation,” said Rev. Nora Vedress, the church’s minister since 2005. “It’s been 18 years and then, very intentionally in the last 24 months, we’ve had studies and speakers and education based events and services and really made it an intentional process.”
The congregation took part in an Affirming Ministry educational program, and then voted unanimously in favour of the decision during a February meeting.
Congregants like Robert Hayes, who served as chairperson of Calvary’s Affirming Ministry Journey Committee, said it was an easy choice.
“I thought, ‘well, if the national church is (affirming), the provincial body and the regional body are, why aren’t we?’ Hayes explained.
“Then, when we looked into what it took to become an affirming congregation I said, ‘well, we’re doing that anyway, so let’s just formalize it.”
“When we were asking the congregation about becoming affirming, the number one response I got was, ‘aren’t we already?’” Vedress added. “That made me feel that this is the time (and) we’re ready, because a lot of the stuff we’ve been doing, we have been doing for the last 10 years.”
Although the focus won’t change at Calvery, both Vedress and Hayes said the congregation plans to be more intentional with their support for LGBTQ2 residents in Prince Albert. In the past, they worried the church as a whole wasn’t doing enough to reach out and engage with people from that demographic, and that’s something they want to change.
“We forget that not everyone has a safe place to be, and perhaps we take for granted some of the freedoms that we have in this country and in the church,” Vedress said.
“(Churches) haven’t done a great job all the time of being a safe place and open to everyone and hearing everyone’s voices. For the church to become affirming (we need to) intentionally say, we know we don’t always get this right, but we’re going to really try.”
“This is the big celebration, but it doesn’t end,” Hayes added.
“We’re going to work hard to make people feel welcome. Whatever it takes.”
A Prince Albert lawyer will serve a two-month suspension for professional misconduct, but his fine should be reduced, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
Peter A. Abrametz (not to be confused with Peter V. Abrametz, his father), had his suspension upheld in a decision released on May 23.
The decision was written by the Honourable Madam Justice Schwann, with Honourable Chief Justice Richards and Honourable Mr. Justice Herauf concurring.
Abrametz had appealed to have his suspension reduced to a reprimand. He also argued the amount charged to him by the Law Society of Saskatchewan, which oversees the legal profession and disciplines its members as appropriate, was unreasonable.
Abrametz had been found guilty of professional misconduct after getting involved in the purchase of an acreage from two of his clients. The clients, identified in court documents only as Mr. and Mrs. M., were separated and not on speaking terms. They were also friends of Abrametz. They were trying to sell an acreage in the R.M. of Paddockwood as soon as possible.
After advising the sellers that the asking price was too low, Abrametz arranged for a friend to buy it for a higher price, later coming in on the deal himself. He did not properly disclose to the sellers that he, their lawyer, was buying the property using a numbered company.
He also didn’t advise them to seek independent legal advice.
Later, Abrametz and his friend sold the property. Each took home $17,000. A hearing into the conflict of interest was held on February 19, 2016. A decision was released on March 2, 2017.
Abrametz, who had earlier sought a judicial review into what he perceived as bias against him (that review was dismissed), sought to resurrect “bias and “procedural fairness” issues in his notice of appeal. He later abandoned those grounds of appeal, sticking to an appeal into the two-month suspension and the award of costs.
Abrametz argued that the suspension was disproportionate, especially in regards to other disciplinary decisions. He also argued the “discipline committee failed to consider and give effect to the absence of any finding of ‘dishonesty’ by the hearing committee and also failed to give effect to the hearing committee’s finding that he had been ‘well intended’ and ‘trying to help his friends.’”
According to the written decision of the appeals court, the sentencing committee considered many aggravating factors, including the three victims (the vendors who lost equity and the original purchaser), what Abrametz ought to have known, his awareness that he and his friend were in a good position to benefit and that ““the member has not accepted responsibility for his behaviour, but throughout the disciplinary process has attempted to cast aspersions against Law Society staff and blame others for his own actions.”
They mentioned a lack of prior discipline and Abrametz’s professed “lack of knowledge his conduct was wrongful” as mitigating factors.
They also cited other, similar cases, including one where a lawyer, under similar circumstances, was suspended for two years.
Given the work the disciplinary committee did, and the fact that a range of sentences is available for conflict of interest, the appeals court found the two-month suspension was “not unreasonable and well within the range of acceptable outcomes.” It was upheld. Where the appeals court did find fault with the disciplinary decision was with the money Abrametz was ordered to pay. He was charged the entirety of the fees billed by the Law Society’s lawyer, who investigated and laid the charges, even though one of the four was dismissed.
“It was a victory of sorts (for Abrametz)… and the costs award imposed by the (committee) should have reflected this mixed result: ‘Courts have concluded that it is unreasonable to order that the member pay the entirety of the costs if not all of the charges have been proved’,” the Appeals Court decision read. The court also took issue with the fact that the Court of Queen’s Bench, back when Abrametz filed the judicial review, awarded no costs. That, the court said, should have been taken into consideration.
The committee “ignored a factor that was relevant to costs in this unique situation, failed to explain why it had no significance to its decision, and simply deferred to its broad legislative authority,” the decision read.
“The fact the Act permits recovery of all inquiry and hearing costs does not mean they must be ordered in each and every case. Costs are discretionary in nature, and should not be ordered on a full-indemnity basis by default.”
With that, the Court ordered the monetary costs charged to Abrametz be quashed, and the committee reconsider and come back with a different amount.
For his part, Abrametz provided a brief statement when reached by email.
“My only comment is that life is not fair sometimes,” he wrote.
Although the year didn’t end the way they wanted, the future looks bright for the Saskatchewan Rivers Dragons.
The Dragons fell 32-10 to the Martensville Springboks in the one-game winner-take-all Rowlands Cup Final in Saskatoon on Saturday. Although the loss was hard to swallow, Dragons head coach Justin Derkach said the season has still been a major success.
“The boys were upset that they lost the last game of the year, but on the bus ride home we talked about it and a lot of guys were pretty happy with themselves,” Derkach said.
“Especially our rookies and our younger guys who had to play a lot this year since we didn’t have a lot of numbers. They were pretty proud of themselves for learning a new game and then progressing to the point where we can actually play in a final.”
Despite the loss, the Dragons still left Saskatoon with a silver medal. Derkach said he’s proud of that accomplishment, and credited his players with working hard to develop into a cohesive unit, especially given the number of new rugby players on the roster.
“As the year progressed we went from more of an individualistic team to more of a “team” team,” he explained. “We moved the ball around well. We had each other’s backs and that helped us at the end of the year.”
They’ll be looking to continue that success with the Dragons next season, and hopefully gain a bit more experience this summer. The Dragons’ season is over, but several players have their sights set on trying out for the provincial team.
Derkach said the experience would be invaluable for returning players, who will once again be asked to show the ropes to a new crop of rookies. He’s hopeful that their level of enthusiasm will carry over to the next season too.
“We had to play those young guys a lot and a lot of them progressed,” Derkach said. “We have five or six guys who are going to try to play this summer with the provincial team, so that’s just going to help us next year as well. If these guys can bring out a friend or two for next year, we’re going to have a good team for the next couple of years.”
The Saskatchewan Rush forward, who put together two big-time performances in Game 2 and Game 3 of the NLL finals to help lead the Rush to the title, showed up to the postgame press conference to celebrate in style.
As the Rush walked in, captain Chris Corbeil with the trophy, followed by coach Derek Keenan, all eyes turned to Shattler, with a cigar sticking out of his mouth and two Great Western Brewery beers, one in each hand.
“I love the playoff atmosphere,” he said when asked what led to his Game 3 performance.
“My old coach used to tell me that I’m a playoff player. I’ve always liked big games.”
There is no bigger game in the NLL than Game 3 in the league finals. It’s the equivalent to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. It’s winner-takes-all.
But while Shattler was getting a lot of attention after the game, he acknowledged his success is only because of the people around him.
“Great players show what they’ve got in big games. Pick anyone of those guys and give them the MVP,” he said. “It was a team effort. It was an awesome night.”
Shattler is a recent addition to the tight-knit Rush group. He spent the last 11 years with the Calgary Roughnecks, winning the Champion’s Cup in 2009 and MVP honours in 2011. When he became available in the offseason, Rush coach and GM Derek Keenan knew he had to sign the Toronto-born star.
“He’s a complete player,” Keenan said after Saturday’s win.
“I think we saw his offensive skill –
Rush captain Chris Corbeil interjected, “we were tired of playing against him in Calgary.”
Keenan continued.
“We had our eye on him from the moment we traded Adam Jones and got some assets for our future. I loved his complete game in terms of his responsibility in transition and unselfish, good (playmaking). We saw in the playoffs his offensive skills that took over the series, especially tonight. Through the entire playoffs he’s been a major, major player for us.”
For Shattler’s part, signing with Saskatchewan was a no-brainer.
“Coming out here was one of the biggest reasons,” he said.
“These guys have proven year in and year out that they can make it to the championship. They’ve won championships. They’re great from top to bottom, coaching staff down. I’m glad they welcomed me into their family. We accomplished a great thing tonight.”
Two Raiders prospects and a Mintos star have been invited to attend Hockey Canada’s national under-17 development camp.
Two of the Raiders picks from the 2017 draft, Ozzy Weisblatt and Kaiden Guhle, both earned invited. Josh Pillar of the Mintos, a 2017 first-round pick of the Kamloops Blazers, also got an invite.
The camp, being held July 21-27 in Calgary, is part of the journey to the 2018 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. Invitees will be split into six teams for on- and off-ice training, fitness testing, practices, intrasquad games and classroom sessions.
Of the 12 goalies, 36 defencemen and 63 forwards invited, 28 WHL prospects will attend.
“The national under-17 development camp provides a unique opportunity for players to learn about what it takes to be part of Team Canada alongside the best young talent in the country,” said Shawn Bullock, Hockey Canada’s senior manager of hockey operations and men’s national teams in a press release.
“The players are here with the ultimate goal of wearing the Team Canada jersey in international competition, and we are supporting them in that goal by providing the on- and off-ice experiences they need to develop and grow as high-performance athletes.”
Once camp is done, players will be evaluated through the early season before 66 are named to one of the three national teams, Team Black, Team Red and Team White. All three teams will compete at the 2018 challenge scheduled for Nov. 3-10 in Saint John and Quispamsis, N.B.
Whether drawn from personal experience or something he’s seen, Dave Margoshes is back with his first poetry anthology in eight years
It has been eight years since the last time Dave Margoshes released a poetry collection.
The author was in Prince Albert Monday for a reading of his latest book, a Calendar of Reckoning, his new poetry collection that, according to a description on mcnallyrobinson.com, touches on family, death, love, longing and retrospection.
It was a small, but “enthusiastic” crowd, Margoshes said, with friends from P.A. as well as strangers in attendance.
“It was ok,” he said, “but people don’t come out to readings the way they used to.”
The enthusiasm from the small Prince Albert group is not uncommon for readers of Margoshes’ work. A Calendar of Reckoning got a good review in Quill and Quire, the trade magazine of the publishing world. He’s also heard from a lot of people who say they really like the book.
Margoshes, who is originally from New York but now lives on a farm near Saskatoon, won the Anne Szumigalski Poetry prize at the 2010 Saskatchewan Book Awards for his previous poetry collection, and is a well-known author in the Canadian literary scene.
“I write poetry all the time,” Margoshes said. He collects the works over time.
“Eventually when I have enough … I put together a collection. It takes as long as it takes.” Like many poets, he pulls from his lived experience.
“I mine my own life quite a bit, as I think most poets do, which is not to say they’re autobiographical,” he said.
“But things that happen to me will wind up in a poem in another form, or I’ll write about childhood memories, but I also write about things I see, things that happen on the news.
“I haven’t written anything about Donald Trump and Korea yet, but that could turn into a poem. Anything can inspire poetry.”
Margoshes couldn’t say whether the personal or the political inspire him more. It all sort of flows.
“You could describe some poems as looking inward, and other poems as looking outward. I write both kinds,” he said.
“I write fiction too, and non-fiction. I used to be a journalist. I have written thousands of newspaper stories over the years. I consider myself a fiction writer who also writes poetry, rather than the other way around. On days when the prose muse has taken the day off, I write a poem.”
While Margoshes has retired from the world of journalism, he won’t be putting down the pen anytime soon.
“I write every day,” he said. “If it’s in your blood, it’s there, it’s like a virus. Writers don’t retire. We just keep chugging along.”

A record turnout at Saturday’s Pride parade and festival, along with events during the week, is a sign attitudes are changing, organizers say.
A total of about 400 people took part this year, 280 at the parade and festival and 118 at the events during the week. The parade itself snaked through residential streets Saturday, stretching as long as a city block. For the LGBTQ+ community, that just shows how far Prince Albert has come.
“We’re amazed by the turnout,” said Prince Albert Pride board member Troy Parenteau.
“It’s monumental for the community. Pride is all about visibility, equality and diversity, and having a show of (400) people over the week is phenomenal.”
Prince Albert Pride president Marc Roberts agreed.
“It was a fabulous turnout. We had a lot of people, a lot of fun, a lot of different people and groups out,” he said.
“We had a few hiccups but it pulled together at the end and everything was just fabulous.”
In addition to the members of the LGBTQ community who proudly marched Saturday, the celebration had the support of several political and community groups.
The Prince Albert NDP was well-represented, including MLA Nicole Rancourt. The Prince Albert Liberals were also present, as was city councillor Evert Botha. They were joined by acting police chief Jeff Roden, CUPE, SGEU, Carlton Comprehensive High School, Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Calvary United Church, the Saskatchewan Pride Network and Beauval’s Valley View School. Walkers represented several cultures and backgrounds, including a strong two-spirit attendance and representatives from Beardy’s and Okemasis First Nation.
For Roden, being asked to march in uniform was a meaningful gesture from the Prince Albert Pride organizers.
“It’s extremely important,” he said.
“We’ve been fortunate to have started to develop a strong relationship with Pride several years ago. I give a lot of credit to the organizers of the parade today, who have invited us to participate. This is in our community, and our police service is here to provide services to the community and be a part of the community. It’s a positive experience.”
For allies like Pride Board treasurer Lana Wilson, seeing the support and the strength was an emotional reminder of how far the movement has come.
“So many speakers on the stage were talking about how far people have come,” she said.
“We do know there is a long way to go, but I do my best to be an ally to the community, and I was tearing up because of my friends, family and love ones who have shared their difficult stories with me about not being supported by their communities and schools, and places of worship, and workplaces. To have such a diverse group of speakers here telling us that we have made progress, that we do have hope for more progress to be made for inclusion, made me tear up to know that we do have people growing up in an ever more inclusive society.”
Parenteau has certainly seen society grow more inclusive.
“I was born and raised in Prince Albert. In the 90s it was a new idea,” he said.
“There was opposition, and I’ve watched over my lifetime the change, the support and the visibility in the community, and that’s something we’re happy an
d proud of.”
Roberts has also noticed a change.
“Even in the last five years I’ve been here, I’ve seen such a change,” he said.
“It’s good to have support at all levels. It means everybody’s changing, everyone’s understanding and accepting. I think it means the culture is changing. People are accepting and more inclusive. It means there’s support no matter where you turn.”
A couple of Saskatchewan boys helped Team Canada ride to a bronze medal at the inaugural Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Global Cup in Sydney, Australia over the weekend.
Over two days of competition, Canada posted 986.75 points. Over one-third of the national team’s points came from one rider — Prince Albert’s Tanner Byrne.
His strong performance on Sunday, the second day of the competition helped Canada fly past Team USA into a medal position. Overall, Canada finished behind event winner Team Brazil by 19.75 points, and second-place finisher Team Australia by 19 points, despite heading into Sunday 30 points behind Team USA in third and over 100 points behind both Australia and Brazil.
Byrne lasted the full eight seconds on each of his four rides, posting impressive scores of 82.5 and 86 on the second day of competition. His scores were good enough to post the second-best individual point total of the weekend.
The nation’s next-best performer is also Saskatchewan born. Jared Parsonage of Maple Creek went three for three over the course of the weekend, finishing with 231.25 points.
That included a score of 80.5 points Sunday.
Two other Saskatchewan-born riders posted scores above 80 points on the second day of competition. Dakota Buttar of Kindersley, the 13th ranked rider in the world, earned 83.5 points Sunday after falling off prior to the eight-second mark in both of his Saturday attempts.
Alternate Justin Lloyd of Tisdale also stepped up. He came in for injured Ponoka, Alta. Native Wacey Finkbeiner, scoring 81.25 points.
Canada also benefitted from the contribution of De Winton, Alta’s Brock Radford, who scored 166 points, including an 86-point outing Sunday.
Team Canada went home with a cheque for $65,000 for their collective efforts.
A full event replay will be aired on TSN 2 on Tuesday, July 3 at 7 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. local.
Saturday didn’t start the way the Saskatchewan Rush would have liked, but they certainly won’t complain about the way the night ended.
It’s not common to see a score of 1-0 after the first quarter of a box lacrosse game. The Rush were coming in having lost game two on the road to Rochester, but having beat up on the Knighthawks 16-9 in Game 1. It was the first Game 3 in NLL history. Every previous championship had been won in a two-game sweep.
With a few balls bouncing off the post and a handful of huge saves by Knighthawks goalie Matt Vinc, Rush head coach Derek Keenan started to get a little nervous.
“It was a little frustrating not being able to score in the first quarter,” he said.
“I (thought) ‘oh boy, another Matt Vinc night’, but we finally got to him and the balls started to drop.”
After that first period of one-goal action, the floodgates opened in the second. It started at 14:35, when Ryan Keenan found Jeff Shattler in front of the net. Shattler found twine to tie the game at one. The Rush scored three more to go up 4-1, including a leaping strike from Keenan.
Rochester answered with a pair of goals and the teams traded a few more scores, with the Rush up 6-4 at the half.
The Rush got off to a slow start in the third quarter, giving up four goals, including one shorthanded, while only scoring one of their own.
With a slim one-goal lead, Rush goalie Evan Kirk made a pair of huge saves, diving across his crease to rob Rochester of what looked to be a sure-goal.
That was as close as the Knighthawks would come. Saskatchewan scored five times in the fourth quarter to put away their opponents 15-10, and take their third NLL title in four years.
Shattler was named MVP. The forward finished the game with four goals and an assist, adding to his three goals and four assists in the Game 2 loss and a single assist in Game 1.
The Rush also benefitted from big performances from captain Chris Corbeil, who finished with three goals, Mark Matthews and his eight assists, and Ben McIntosh, who earned a pair of goals and four assists on the night.
Keenan said the atmosphere, including the rambunctious home crowd, helped motivate the Rush, pushing them to victory.
“It was great, great energy. We fed off of that,” he said.
“I think we kind of turned the tables on (Rochester) in the second and fourth quarters. We were the better team those quarters because we pushed the tempo on them. We had numerous transition opportunities and we made them chase us a lot, which is tiring. The energy level, I thought, for our guys was good.”
Keenan gave a lot of credit to the Knighthawks. The Rush only lost five games all year, including Game 2 of the finals. Three of those losses came to Rochester.
“Credit them, because they made it really, really hard on us, which makes it sweeter to win. But we had a little more left,” he said.
“Going forward, we’re going to have to figure that out, because I think they’re going to be there for a few years. They’re a very good team. They’ve recovered from a couple of tough seasons after winning some championships, and rebuilt the way we have.”

Knighthawks coach Mike Hasen said there’s no secret sauce to his team’s success against the Rush.
“It’s hard work. It’s no secret,” he said.
“We’re talented, but we’re a hard-working group as well. We tried to work harder than they did. It’s an awful feeling right now, but where these guys were, you can’t say enough about their compete level and what they do for each other. It sucks big time that we weren’t able to finish the way we wanted, but this group is special.”
While the Rush had a season straight out of the storybooks, going undefeated in their division, Rochester had a very different start to the season. They came out of the gate 2-6, before turning a corner and working hard all the way to the league finals.
“The roller coaster we went through this year made everyone stronger, and it made everybody realize that this league is crazy. This league has so much parity. Anybody can beat anybody any night,” Hasen said.
“If you stick to it and work together, good things can come. I think that’s one lesson I hope this group takes away. When they believe in each other and stick to the process, and care for the guy beside them, you can overcome a 2-6 rough start and have an opportunity to be here.”
Teams to lose pair of players in expansion draft
While both the Rush and Knighthawks built strong teams ahead of the 2018 season and have a solid foundation to build on, both will lose key pieces in the offseason.
The NLL is expanding, adding Philadelphia and San Diego. Each team will give up two players in an expansion draft. They can protect 10 runners and a goalie, or 11 runners and no goalie. Only five offensive players can be protected.
I’d like to keep these guys for as long as I can,” Rush coach and GM Derek Keenan told Kevin Mitchell of the StarPhoenix.
“But the reality is, expansion’s good for the league, good for the game, good for the players who should be in this league and aren’t. We’ll figure that out when the time comes.”
Following the loss Saturday, Knighthawks coach Mike Hansen was less conciliatory.
“Two guys on this team aren’t going to be here next year because of expansion,” he said.
“That’s one thing that sucks, because this is a special group that worked so hard together, and to just have two pieces ripped off – they’re going to be good pieces. It’s tough to swallow right now because you’d love to see what these kids could do next year.”
With the Boreal Bistro’s impending closure, Off the Cuff will soon have a new home for their interactive dinner shows.
But first, there’s time for one last Boreal Bistro medieval feast.
This time, though, it’s a little different.
“The others followed the same characters as they moved through their story. But it kind of came to a natural conclusion,” said Off the Cuff’s Adreanna Boucher.
“This one is a bit different. This one has a play within a play, about Robin Hood.”
To prepare for the show, Boucher researched actual plays that would have been done about Robin Hood.
“We’re doing Robin Hood and the Friar within our play,” she said.
“This is a play about our actors trying to do a play about Robin Hood. It’s very funny.”
Medieval Feast regulars Trent Gillespie and Mathew Derworiz will be returning, while other local actors TJ Hugo and Krodell Brons will be added to the cast.
Off the Cuff has been hosting these scripted and improv interactive dinners with the Boreal Bistro for several months. A few months ago, Boreal Bistro chef Kevin Tetz announced he was retiring.
Boucher said she is grateful for the opportunities Tetz and the bistro provided.
“The bistro is closing at the end of June. We’ve had a really good run there,” she said.
“We’ve really enjoyed our time performing there. We’re really grateful for Kevin for giving us the opportunity. People enjoyed the food and the shows, and it was great to be able to expand creatively.”
Now, the group is announcing a new partnership with Gateway Events and Plaza 88. The dinners will take place every few months, and be bigger affairs, if all goes well.
“We’re not wanting to quit doing these interactives,” Boucher said, saying the dinners will be medieval feasts and other themes. The first show will be on August 23.
For now, though, the focus is on the last Boreal Bistro medieval feast. Tickets must be purchased in advance, by 2 p.m. Wednesday. The feast is scheduled for Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $55 and can be bought at the Bistro or by calling 306-764-1200.
