Crystal clear: Borden residents tap into high-tech water system Reverse-osmosis water treatment plant begins operation in Borden By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Borden residents literally got a taste of what to expect from their new municipal water system late last week. It s absolutely pure water, explained Jim Buckingham, a Level 2 certified water plant operator and the man who helped guide the construction and implementation of a new multi-million dollar reverse-osmosis (RO) water treatment plant for the village of Borden. The RO membranes filter out and remove all the impurities - including bacteria, pesticides, and minerals - from the water, he said. It s crystal clear and it tastes great. The RO water system officially began operation on Thursday, September 15, and over the next few weeks, the new water supply will reach into all homes and businesses as the old water is flushed through. The new water treatment plant replaces a greensand filter facility constructed in the 1960s, and is designed to enhance both the quality of the water and the capacity of the system. At an open house on Friday, September 16, residents of the village were able to tour the new treatment plant and sample the crystal clear water. It s a red letter day for the village, absolutely, commented Borden Mayor Dave Buckingham. It s been a long time coming, but it s well worth the wait. It s a huge project and the end is now in sight. This not only makes life better for everyone in town, but it should also attract new residents and new businesses. The new water plant is currently operating under Jim Buckingham s operator s license, but in a few weeks, town employee Don Aebig will be taking over as the licensed operator after he receives his provincial certification. The new treatment plant was hooked into the existing water pipelines that are connected to the municipal wells on the south side of Highway 16. A computer-controlled monitoring system enables the water treatment plant to communicate directly with the wells via radio frequencies. We put a radio tower up here in town and we have a tower at each well, explained Jim Buckingham. This allows us to contol how much water comes from each well. The new water system was built with the assistance of the federal-

provincial Building Canada infrastructure fund. Under the program, the municipality is responsible for one-third of the cost. Construction began in 2009, but the project ran
into d difficulties because of unexpectedly high construction costs. As Dave Buckingham noted, at one point the project was $250,000 over budget, and the Village was
forced to borrow $600,000 in order to meet its funding commitment. Faced with a deadline of March 31, 2012 to complete the project under the terms of the federal-provin-
cial funding program, the village sought outside expertise. Earlier this year, Dave Buckingham convinced his brother, Jim Buckingham, a retired employee with the Town of Shellbrook, to oversee the project and get things back on track. It was a move that paid off, with Jim Buckingham s practical knowledge and common-sense approach, the project is in now in its final stages, and should be on budget. The project is about 65 percent complete now, explained Jim Buckingham. This is an important point right now because water is now flowing from the wells into the treatment plant, where it is being treated and is now going into the municipal waterlines. Jim Buckingham said there still remains considerable work to be done in disassembling the original water treatment equipment and replacing it with permanent main distribution pumps. Right now we only have a temporary distribution pump, he explained. We also have to core cut another ten holes into the reservoir. It s a pretty big undertaking because those holes have to be exactly perfect. Jim Buckingham said the new water treatment plant is designed to operate automatically, but added the plant operator has to be vigilant. There are still a few bugs in the system that we re ironing out, he said. The first night we fired it up I just about slept in the plant all night. At about 3 in the morning the reservoir level started jumping around and I had to shut it down manually. It didn t take long to fi x that problem, but it s a learning experience.
Garden for Children yields bountiful harvest for needy By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca
For the second straight year, a bountiful harvest of fresh vegetables from the Garden for Children is going directly to hungry people in the Saskatoon region. The garden was planted, tended and harvested by inmates at the Urban Camp, a reduced custody program in the Saskatoon Correctional Centre. The food grown in the garden is being delivered to the Saskatoon Food Bank and the school lunch program at St. Mary s Community School. It s an innovative program that is not only feeding hungry people, but also providing a sense of accomplishment and pride for offenders, according to Giles Saulnier, manager of the Urban Camp. The Garden for Children is a

project that started two and a half years ago, explained Saulnier at a ceremony September 14 at the Urban Camp. The staff at the correctional centre realized we had 2 acres of raw land on our property that wasn t being used, so we decided to plant a community garden. Little did we know that this garden would be so rewarding, he added. The offenders of the Urban Camp have worked tirelessly over countless hours to grow this garden, and to donate the produce to our two partners. Saulnier credited Early s Farm and Garden Centre, Floral Acres and Hamm Construction for donations of seed and equipment to help make the garden a success. Staff from the correctional centre also contributed

Search and rescue training exercise simulates real life emergency By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A search and rescue (SAR) training exercise in Dalmeny last weekend was designed to be as realistic as possible, according to Dalmeny Fire Chief Rick Elder. The training exercise brought together firefighters and emergency response personnel from Hepburn, Dalmeny and Warman, as well as a number of police officers from the Saskatoon Police Service. There is no typical situation when it comes to search and rescue, explained Elder, who served as coordinator of the training exercise. Every emergency situation is unique, and the key is to be prepared. Elder said emergency response departments in North Corman Park regularly work together in joint training sessions throughout the year,. In addition, individual fire departments and first responders hold weekly training sessions to maintain core skills. It s continual training, he said. There is always something new and unusual that comes up. You should be learning new things all the time. The search and rescue exercise in Dalmeny involved a simulated scenario involving two children who were reported missing from a foster home in the community. In his briefing to the four search teams involved in the exercise on Saturday morning, September 17, Elder explained they were looking for a 10-year old girl and a 12-year old boy. The children in the scenario would have spent the night outdoors. The search had been narrowed to a wooded area east of the community. The search exercise also involved the Dalmeny Police Service. The search teams employed GPS, map and compass, and were prepared with medical kits and other supplies. The exercise was the third of the calendar year for the search and rescue teams, and marked the first time they were joined by members of the Saskatoon Police Service. It s a good opportunity to work with the Saskatoon Police Service, noted Elder. Their search and res-

cue program is in its infancy, and there is a lot of corss-learning going on. We re going to teach them what we know and we re going to learn from them as far as evidence seraches and that sort of thing. It s a win-win situation for both groups. Elder said evidence searches are one example of a close-quarters search, where searchers will comb an area looking for a particular item. It s a grid-search where team members work closely together. The search and rescue exercises are done at different times of year and in different locations, to ensure that as many different scenarios as
possible are covered, noted Elder. Last winter, the teams were out in very cold weather and had to be prepared to spend the night outdoors, he said. Last spring, we did another training exercise along the banks of the North Saskatchewan River that involved rope work and searching in very dense brush and
undergrowth. I like to mix it up so they don t get too comfortable. The search and rescue exercise made use of the Dalmeny Fire Department s mobile Command Centre truck, which utilizes wireless internet, radios and computers to track the search as it proceeds.

Pike Lake School plays an integral role in unique rural community By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A lot of things have changed in the past 100 years. But for teachers, parents and students at Pike Lake School, some things are truly timeless. This school is a very important part of this community, explained Pike Lake School principal Laura Prefontaine. Next year marks the 100th anniversary of Pike Lake School, and in many ways, the connection between the community and the school is stronger than ever now. Pike Lake School started out as a typical one-room country school when it was founded in the fall of 1912. In September, 1992, the current Kindergarten to Grade 4 school was officially opened. With a relatively small enrolment, it has sometimes been a struggle for the community to keep the school from
closing down. There were a few times when the enrolment was one or two students fewer than the minimum requirement, but we did whatever we had to do to keep it open, recalled Hazel Kinzie, a long-time resident of the area. Children in the Pike Lake community, which borders the scenic provincial park, attend classes up until Grade 4. From Grade 5 on, they are bussed to Delisle. It s a very unique school, noted Prefontaine. It s got a real country school flavour to it, but we re always working to stay current as far as the technology goes because the kids will need that grounding for their future success. It s a mix of the old and the new, the traditional and the modern. At an open house barbecue on Wednesday, September 14, students, parents and community members got a
Pike Lake Memorial plaques pay tribute to community members A pair of memorial plaques that hang in the lobby of the Pike Lake Community Hall are engraved with the names of residents of the Pike Lake area who have passed away. The memorial started in 1992 with a donation from Millie and Bill Sherbrook, in memory of their two sons, Regan and Karry. Over the years, names have been added by many families in the community.
Residents of the Pike Lake district who lose a family member or neighbour and who would like to see their name added to the plaques are invited to contact Hazel Kinzie at 668-4416. There is no set charge to have a name included, and receipts can be issued for income tax purspoes when memorial donations are made payable to the Pike lake Community and School Association.
first-hand look at the school itself. In addition, First Responders, RCMP officers, and fire department members were also on hand to acquaint people with the services they provide. An evening of old-fashioned, family-oriented games was also a highight of the event. Prefontaine noted that many long-time community members, including older cabin-owners from around the lake, took the opportunity to see what the school was all about. I got a lot of comments from people saying how it reminded them of when they were young and attended a country school, Prefontaine stated. It s bringing back a lot of memories for those folks. She said the small school, which makes use of the nearby community centre for its gymnasium and kitchen, provides a number of advantages to younger students. It gives them a sense of security and support, and they feel very cared for, she said. We really get to know our students, and we can individualize their programs to fit their needs. When they get the base skills in that kind of environment, it s a huge starting point for them, and gives them a real sense of confidence. She said there is a strong connection with the school in Delisle. We do have meetings with the teachers in Delisle every year to acquaint them with our school and our programs, she noted.

Poll shows Wall of unity
VIEWPOINT
Gap grows between public, private sector wages, benefits A significant labour issue is emerging in Canada ‒ the growing gap between government employee pay and private sector pay. In plain English, the typical government employee is getting a much better deal than everyone else. Consider Statistics Canada data obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation that shows from 2001 to 2011, the average government employee s pay increased from $756.01 per week to $1,023.20; a 35.3 per cent increase. Over the same period, the average private sector worker saw their pay increase from $598.81 per week to $777.69; a 29.9 per cent increase. And it doesn t end there. From 1977 to 2009, the number of government employees with workplace pensions increased from 75.5 per cent to 86.2 per cent. Over the same period, private sector employees saw their workplace pension coverage decrease from 35.2 per cent to just 25.3 per cent. In terms of defined benefit pensions plans (the better type as it guarantees a cash payout for life even if the fund has run dry), 81 per cent of government employees have them compared with just 14 per cent in the private sector. Now let s be clear. No one expects a teacher, firefighter or any other government employee to get paid peanuts for an honest day s work. But government jobs shouldn t have pay levels that are much higher than private sector positions that are providing similar work. To correct the overall pay and benefit gap, most government services should be opened up to competition. That would not only ensure competitive costs and efficiencies are achieved, it would give everyone a fair shot at bidding to provide government services. For services that can t be easily put out to competition, the government should ensure it isn t offering increases to unions that are far higher than what taxpayers are receiving. In terms of pensions, switching from defined benefit to defined contribution plans would also be a good first step in closing the pension gap. One thing is for certain, the gap cannot continue to grow. Taxpayers are getting tapped out. -Canadian Taxpayers Federation

If it was Premier Brad Wall s fondest wish to unite the province, he just might have achieved it. Of course, he s had a big helping hand from NDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter ... although perhaps not in the way that Lingenfelter would have hoped to contribute. The recent Praxis Analytics poll conducted for the Regina LeaderPost and Saskatoon StarPhoenix shows a remarkable 63.4 per cent of Saskatchewan voters indicating they would vote for Wall s Sask. Party compared with 26.1 per cent one per cent that would support Lingenfelter s NDP. For Wall, this sampling of 800 people taken in the last week of August and first week of this month is about as good as it gets in this politically divided province. And while Sask. Party officials are downplaying the numbers (likely, because such an overwhelming majority isn t great for getting out the vote in November), these numbers are only slightly higher than past results. For example, a late 2009 poll conducted for the LeaderPost indicated the government was at 59.5 per cent. The difference between that poll two years ago and this one is close to the plus or minus 3.5-per-cent margin of error of such scientific samplings. Of course, some would argue that such overwhelming numbers ‒ which would translate into between 47 and 51 Sask. Party seats in 58seat assembly, some analysts estimate ‒ wouldn t be great for a province that relies on solid opposition scrutiny for good government. That may be true. But if there is one upside in all this, it s that no one can suggest there is a division between urban NDP and rural Sask. Party anymore. Wall s popularity and Lingenfelter s unpopularity has changed all that. For example, of the 63.4 per cent that said they would likely vote for Wall and the Sask. Party, the breakdown is as follows: farms and acreage, 70.1 per cent; towns of 5,000 and under, 64.4 per cent; cities between 5,000 and 20,000, 67.4 per cent, and; cities more than 20,000, 56.3 per cent. Conversely, NDPLingenfelter support is as follows: farms, 25.6 per cent; towns, 21.5 per cent; smaller cities 19.6 per cent,

and; Regina and Saskatoon, 56.3 per cent. In fact, Wall s support was remarkably consistent everywhere but the far north that remains overwhelming New Democrat: west central, 67.5 per cent; central, 80 per cent, east central, 64.7 per cent; southwest, 66.7 per cent; Regina, 62 per cent, and; Saskatoon, 56.3 per cent. The urban numbers ‒ especially Regina s overwhelming Wall support ‒ were particular surprising and pollster always warn about the accuracy of such smaller sub-samplings. But it does outline a provincewide trend that s consistent. When people were asked which party they definitely wouldn t vote for, the results for the NDP were as follows: farms, 45.3 per cent; towns
29 per cent; smaller cities, 21.8 per cent; Saskatoon, 24.2 per cent; Regina, 32.4 per cent; Moose Jaw, 20 per cent; southwest 31.6, per cent; east central, 32.3 per cent, central, 40.9 per cent, and; west central, 37.7 per cent. Conversely, asked who they wouldn t vote, the results for the Sask. Party were: farms, 9.4 per cent; towns, 5.5 per cent; small cities, 20 per cent; Regina, 16.7 per cent; southwest, 7.9 per cent; east central, 19.4 per cent; central, 9.1 per cent, and: west central, 8.7 per cent. Obviously, there will always be some variance from urban to rural and region-to-region. But there is not as much as their used to be. In fact, what was remarkable about the poll was the consistency in the Sask. Party numbers across the board. Asked to rate the job the government was doing on a scale of oneto-five (five, being best), the Sask. Party received: 3.63 on the farms; 3.53 in the towns; 3.27 in the smaller cities, and; 3.4 in the large cities. The poll indicates a rather unusual thing for Saskatchewan ‒ relative unity behind one party.
Rider road trips are often memorable ones Sometimes in life there just isn t enough time to catch up on everything that needs to be done. Yes, we fill our planners to the brim with appointments, errands and things to do but life often gets in the way of catching up with people. Over the weekend I was fortunate enough to catch up with one of those people who is in my planner to see but don t get to spend near enough time with. We decided Saturday would be the day to spend some time listening to each other s stories and take in a Saskatchewan Roughriders game in Regina. As we boarded the bus for the
Gazette
two-and-a-half hour trip, I could tell my buddy was excited as me. Even though he has lived in this province his entire life, he has never been to a CFL game before. He told me this was something he had been looking forward to for a very long time. As we rumbled down the highway, he sat next to me. Often he stared out the window across the vast prairie landscape as combines rolled and vehicles of all shapes and sizes passed us ‒ Rider flags whipping in the wind. We laughed and joked pretty much the whole trip. We had so much fun that the trip didn t seem to take near as long as what it should have. www.ccgazette.ca

Soon enough, we were dropped at the front gates of Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field. The game was another sellout for Rider Nation and, although I am a former season ticket holder who wishes now he had never given them up, I still get tingles when I walk across the plaza in front of the stadium. I could tell he was even more excited than me as
his head spun from left to right and right to left taking everything in. My buddy and I both agreed we had great seats even though we were 31 rows up just inside the goal line. The fireworks that accompanied the player introductions caught him a little by surprise but there was no way to wipe the grin from his face. When Chris Getzlaf hauled in a long touchdown pass for the Riders first major, he turned and began a round of high fives ‒ not just with me but some complete strangers sitting behind us. He was truly enjoying himself and was having a blast at the game. After the final gun had sounded and

we boarded the bus, he looked once more at the stadium and said we need to come here again . The ride home was pretty quiet. We had both cheered loud and hard for the Riders and were now both grabbing a quick nap as our bus cut a dimly lit swath through the prairie darkness. We arrived back in town and a few minutes later were pulling into the driveway. It was well past 10 p.m. as we both settled in for the night. As he curled up in his Rider jersey with memories of a lifetime etched in his head, I simply smiled. Thanks for the great day, son, I whispered, quietly closing the door.

Warman Homes expansion mirrors growth of communities in the area
Warman Homes has grown with the community it serves. Founded in 1984 by owner David Holst, the full-service hom ebuilding company has achieved remarkable growth in the 17 years it has been in business. I had worked in the housing industry my who le adult life, Holst said. So it was a natural progression to go into the house-building industry. Under the direction of General Manager Keith Heinrichs, the success of Warman Homes has mirrore d the rapid expansion of Warman , Martensville and other commun ities in the area. In fact, Warman Homes has been a big player in help ing those communities grow by sup plying many of the attractive homes that line their streets. In Warman , The Legends continues to grow at an amazing pace and the company s latest neighbourhood, Southlands , is quickly selling. Holst notes the big difference with Warman Homes is the service it offers its clients. Every busines s talks about service, he says. Our staff makes it part of their job to provide exceptional service. That is why we won the Saskatoon Region Home Builders Association (SRHBA) Customer Choice Award for Sing le
Family large builder in 2010. The award, he adds, is given annually to the builder of 25 or mor e homes that are judged to have the highest customer satisfaction rating, based ona number of categories, as per a survey of the builders customers conducted by the Saskathcewan New Home Warran ty Program. It s an achievement we re very proud of, said Holst, because our customers are the ones who real ly count in this business. He concludes the most rewarding aspect of being a business own er in Warman is seeing the bus iness, and the number of employees, grow over the years.

It’s also known for its lowering of cholesterol and improving the ratio of good and bad (HDL & LDL). I recommend 1 cup per day. 2. Lean Organic Beef....It is loaded with protein and helps to synthesis hemoglobin which aids in red blood cell production. Meat is one product that should be purchased organically, if possible. 3. Broccoli....This food is the never-ending talked about super food. It is packed full of calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, folic acid and fiber. Broccoli also contains powerful antioxidants and helps to detox the body of harmful levels of estrogen.

Wolverines’ late-game rally secures victory By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca
The Warman Wolverines staged a late-game rally last Friday to notch their second victory of the season, downing the visiting Tisdale Tornadoes 50-35. While the capacity crowd at Neufeld Field revelled in the Wolverines come-frombehind heroics, the coaching staff had some anxious moments on the sidelines. Great game, said Wolverines head coach Tyler Scheidt, visibly relieved after the final whistle. Overall the kids played hard and it was fun to watch, but we re going to have to work on a few things, that s for sure. In a game where momentum shifts played a huge role, the Wolverines were plagued by a seemingly-endless parade of penalties in the first half. Despite consistently moving the ball downfield,

the team ended up marching backwards. But they finally got the ship back on an even keel late in the second quarter, after
falling behind 20-7. Midway through the third quarter, Warman finally grabbed the lead on a touchdown by running back Adam Leik, making
the score 28-27. From there, it was all Continued on Page 11 Please see WOLVERINES
The plot continues to thicken in Riderville Really, can one man make this much of a difference? It s a rhetorical question, it seems, because the results are staring us right in the face. The Saskatchewan Roughriders are 3-0 since Ken Miller replaced Greg Marshall as head coach of the team and they aren t looking back. On Saturday at Mosaic Stadium the Riders trailed the Toronto Argonauts for most of the game before turning it on in the fourth quarter and pulling away for a 30-20 victory. It truly is just like old times, where the Riders need an alarm clark to go off before they start playing. But eventually they always do. I just told the men in the locker room that it was a tremendous battle, Miller said after the game. We wore them down in the fourth quarter. A lot of games are won in the fourth quarter and we did that today. So what exactly is it that Miller has? Could anyone have been expected to replace this grandfather on the sidelines as Marshall attempted to do? What s his secret? I love Ken Miller, stated Rider defensive back Chris McKenzie who returned an interception 34 yards for the touchdown which put the game out of reach. That s all I got to say. He elevates my

game. He tells me little things what I can work on and what my strengths are. I love him. The Riders have certainly caught the league s attention as their three game winning streak upped their record to 4-7 and they can catch BC for third in the West with a victory over the 5-6 Lions this Saturday at Mosaic Stadium
(2:00 pm on TSN and CKRM). Give Saskatchewan credit, Ken really has them playing right now, admitted Argo defensive lineman Ronald Flemons. (Toronto QB) Steven Jyles was good and hopefully he ll get better. Perhaps this talk of Miller being a saviour is overblown or even old news but giv-
en the way the season started at 1-7, what has gone on over the past three weeks has been nothing short of astonishing. The victory over Toronto wasn t as convincing as the back-to-back blowouts of Winnipeg, but it s a win nonetheless. You don t get extra points just because you won with style. And the team isn t looking back. We re in about as good of a position as we can be but we have to keep getting better, Miller cautioned. We can only win one game at a time. How is this all going to turn out? I can t wait to find out.

Here we go again: New WHL season begins tomorrow for Bridge City Bunch They ve won a CHL-best 151 regular-season games over the last three campaigns. While the goal, as it is every season, is to win a Memorial Cup championship, the Saskatoon Blades hope to win the right to host the 2013 Memorial Cup as well! October 12 will be the big day when the Blades, Red Deer Rebels and Kelowna Rockets will make final presentations to the Western Hockey League s Board of Governors to host the CHL championship tournament in May 2013. The vote will take place right after the presentations. The winner will then get to work to build their team to be as competitive as possible. If the Bridge City Bunch is the successful candidate, the team that will open the 2011-12 regular season, with a home-and-home series against the Prince Albert Raiders, may have a different look in short order! But, that s a story that will develop more in three weeks time. For now, here s a look at
the Blades that will face the arch-rival Raiders at Credit Union Centre on Friday...with the return match-up Saturday at the Art Hauser Centre in P.A. GOALTENDING: Gone is Steven Stanford who won 68 times in 90 appearances over the past two seasons. Adam Morrison is one of three overage players listed on the Saskatoon roster. He is looking to finally ascend to #1 status after playing in just 79 games over the last three seasons. The Blades dealt a Bantam draft pick to Prince George to receive the 30th overall selection in the annual CHL Import Draft and used it to pick 18-year-old Russian tender Andrey Makarov. If Saskatoon wins the Memorial Cup bid, Makarov may become the starter sooner than later! DEFENCE: A lot of offence and stay-at-home presence was lost with the respective graduations of Stefan Elliott and Teigan Zahn. Elliott scored 31 goals and 81 points

five seasons. Despite those losses, the Saskatoon defence is still an area of strength with Duncan Siemens, Darren Dietz, Dalton Thrower and Connor Cox all return-
ing. Siemens was a secondteam WHL all-star last season and was picked 13th overall by Colorado in the NHL entry draft in June. At the same draft, Dietz was selected by Montreal in the fifth round after a solid rookie season. The Blades acquired 18-yearold Waldheim product Kyle Schmidt to shore up the backend while a pair of 17 yearolds in Tommy Stipancik and Devan Fafard will start the season with Saskatoon. FORWARDS: Of the 310 goals scored by the Blades last season, while winning a franchise-record 56 games, 117 of those goals has graduated in the form of Elliott, Zahn, team MVP Marek Viedensky, Curtis Hamilton and Brayden Schenn. However, all is not lost as a trio of 30-goal scorers from last season will be back in left winger Darian Dziurzynski (35 goals) and right wingers Josh Nicholls (34) and Jake Trask (30). The losses of Viedensky and Schenn means 18-year-olds Brent Benson and Lukas Sutter, plus
17-year-old sophomore Ryan Olsen, will need to step up and produce more offensively from the centre position. Big things are expected from 19-year-old left winger Chris Collins (19 goals, 46 points last season) and 18-year-old Czech winger Matej Stransky (14 goals, 26 points). After that, second-year forwards Levi Bews and Alex Elliott need to elevate their play and production or give way to a series of anxious rookies in Kyle Haas, Nick Zajak, Travis McEvoy, Christian Stockl, Brett Stovin and Hudson Morrison! THE FORECAST: While changes to the present 25man roster may have happened between this writing and publish date, one thing has to change for the Blades to be successful. After last season s ability to overwhelm and overpower the opposition with talent and offence, this season s Bridge City Bunch will need to get back to the franchise s long-standing traits of hard-work, hardnosed play and character!

Aberdeen Crusaders dodge a bullet as Hague Panthers shoot back By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca
It ain t over till its over. That s a lesson both the Aberdeen Crusaders and Hague Panthers will take to heart after their encounter Thursday, September 15, in Aberdeen. Leading by a score of 40-18 halfway through the fourth quarter, the Crusaders held off a determined Panther rally in the dying minutes of the game to win the contest 46-39. But it wasn t easy. The Crusaders were almost bowled over by a resurgent Panther team. Fired up after scoring a succession of touchdowns, the Hague squad seemed to forget they had a short bench and were supposed to be exhausted. The Panthers recovered the ball in the final minuute after a pooch kickoff, and appeared poised to

I think execution and discipline are the two big things right now that we need to work on, Scheidt commented. We can t have guys lining up offside and guys going offside when they re running through the middle. It s little things like that we have to get sorted out. He said there are also some defensive drills that need more attention. Tisdale ran the same play for big yardage against us about 8 times on defense, he said We have to sort that out right away. The Wolverines next game is in Clavet on Friday, September 23. Game time is 4:00 p.m. CLOSE GAME IN CLAVET In other conference action, the Humboldt Mohawks defeated the Clavet Cougars by a score of 41-34 on Friday, September 16 at Clavet Composite School.

drew the line in the dirt. Meanwhile, over on the Hague bench, you d never have known it was a team tasting its second straight defeat of the season. The players were grinning from ear to ear, still pumped from riding the momentum shift late in the game. This game was a lot more fun for our guys, said Panthers head coach Kelly Lungull. The teams were a lot more evenly-matched than when we went up against Rosthern. It was a good game, very well-officiated, and good sportsmanship on both sides. When you see this type of football in high school, I think everyone gets a lot out of it. Lungull said the players gained confidence as the game went on, a trend he attributes in large part to the recent involvement of two
former Panther players on the coaching staff. We re going through a bit of a transitional period now, said Lungull. We have a couple community guys that are getting involved in the coaching of the team. Tom Mufford and his brother Stew Mufford are full of passion for the team and the game, and I think it s a really positive thing for the football program in our school. Lungull said the Mufford brothers input has helped motivate the players. The boys were very much into the plays that Tom developed for them, he said. They ve really bought into the program, and they re excited about playing football for the Panthers now. For Aberdeen, the football program continues to play a major role in the community. Introduced 12 years ago, the
team has been bounced from one conference to another over the years, but Ethier is looking forward to getting back into the same grouping as Hague. We have a very good program here in Aberdeen, he said. Every year the program seems to get bigger and better. We have good sponsorship and a lot of community support. Last year was a big challenge for the program, as a record number of student athletes turned out for the team. Ethier admits it was difficult to make sure all the players had playing time last year. This year, the numbers are down to a more manageable level. In this league, there s always an opporunity to get everyone on the field, said Ethier.

HARVESTING SUNSHINE The sights and sounds of old-time threshing drew a good-size crowd to the Quiring farm a few kilometers northwest of Dalmeny on Saturday, September 17. (Top photo) Stooks of wheat are pitched into a wooden threshing machine. (Above right) Reg and Pat Schultz of Dalmeny were in costume as they drove to the event in their 1926 Ford pickup truck. Above) Randy Wolfe and his team of giant-size Belgians get their wagon filled with wheat. Murl Quiring (right) talks with John Hein as they fire up a tractor. This is the fifth year that Murl Quiring and his parents, Sam and Ethel, have organized the event at their farm. Murl owns 8 vintage threshing machines and an unknown number of tractors and wagons. He inherited his love of old threshing machines from his grandfather and great-grandfather and was inspired by BIll Penner of Dalmeny to keep the tradition going. He extends special thanks to the women and men who helped out and who attended the event.

to the project. But he said the offenders were the people who made the garden so productive. Some of the offenders started working in the garden at 7 o clock in the morning and worked till 8 or 9 o clock at night, after coming back from their community service group placement during the day, noted Saulnier. Some of the offenders volunteered their time after hours. Without their hard work, this harvest would never have been achieved. A total of 3200 food hamper bags have so far been donated to the Saskatoon Food Bank and St. Mary s School. In addition to staples like potatoes, corn and beans, the garden has also produced tomaotoes, pumpkins, broccoli, lettuce, beets and a variety of other vegetables. The amount of fresh produce we re receiving from this garden is unbelievable, said Paul Merriman, Director of the Saskatoon Food Bank. It s been delivered to our facility for the past month, and as soon as it comes in the back door it s packaged and sent out with our cients the same day.

He said the sheer size of the garden at the correctional facility, as well as the variety of vegetables produced there, involves a tremendous amount of work for the people working the soil. The project is also endorsed by the provincial Minister of Corrections and Public Safety, Hon. Yogi Huyghebaert. There is a two-way benefit to this partnership, Huyghebaert said. At the same time as the community is supported through the donation of the season s crop, the gardeners from the Urban Camp are gaining valuable experience. They have the chance to see how their work can have a positive impact on others and they gain practical work experience to help them reduce their risk of reoffending once they are released back into the community. The Minister said each row planted, hoed and harvested represents a commitment to making life a little better for many residents in Saskatoon. The Urban Camp program has been in existence for 29 years, and provides offenders who are nearing release with work experience geared to supporting the community

VCA ANNIVERSARY Continued from Page 19
future expansion were on display for viewing. At 7pm a program was held which included honoring Bishop John D. Reddekopp (VCAs founder), singing by an alumni choir, sharing from past students and staff, and sharing by current Principal Syd Laskowski and Bishop Howard Peters from the Bergthaler Mennonite Church. Rounding out the program were items from the musical groups Us Girls and Echoes of Eternity. At the con-
clusion of the program coffee and cake was served while the reminiscing resumed. The celebration was a very nice tribute to all involved in the school, from its inception in 1986 to its current staff, students, and Board. Many commented on how interesting it was to gain a perspective and an appreciation for what the original committee went through in negotiations with the local school division, building the school, and developing guiding principles
and policies to follow as a new organization. The program shared a broad perspective from cofounders, to alumni, to current students and staff, as well as a memoire from Brad Wall who is the only teacher here for the entire 25 years. The common message shared among a number of speakers was a passage from Psalm 145:3 which says, Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised . To God we give all of the honor and glory! The VCA staff, students, and Board want to thank all in attendance for coming and celebrating 25 years of God s goodness.
