PREMIER REMEMBERS SANDRA SCHMIRLER

Released on March 2, 2000

Premier Roy Romanow was deeply saddened this morning when he heard the news

Sandra Schmirler has lost her courageous battle with cancer.



"The writer Bernard Malamud has said that 'no life can be re-captured wholly as

it was'," the premier said. "That is especially true of a life like Sandra

Schmirler's - too short at just 36 years, and yet so full of accomplishments,

of achievement, of joy."



The premier remembered Sandra's accomplishments with fondness: three times

Canadian champion; three times world champion; and the winner of an Olympic

gold medal.



"And I know most of us will always remember the sight of her team on that medal

podium, singing our national anthem," the premier said. "We will remember the

achievement and we will remember the pride we all felt."



Romanow added we must also appreciate the things we can't see - qualities like

determination, commitment and discipline.



"Those were qualities Sandra brought to the ice and to her courageous battle

against her last challenge - a challenge she faced with her characteristic

focus, determination and indomitable competitive spirit," the premier said.

"We prayed that her strength, that fierce will to win, would carry the day

again - sadly, it was not to be."



The premier urged everyone to look beyond Sandra's passing - focus on her

bright and glorious life, a life committed to sporting ideals, family and

friends.



"On behalf of my wife Eleanore, of the government of Saskatchewan and the

people of Saskatchewan let me express my profound sadness, and let me also

extend my deepest condolences to Sandra's family, especially to her two small

children."
