STREET REPAIRS AT WARMAN INTERSECTION

(Below) Paving crews were busy over the past week making repairs to a number of streets in Warman. A major repair was undertaken at the intersection of Centennial Boulevard and Central Street on Monday, August 27. Because of the four-way stop at the intersection and the heavy truck traffic, the pavement at the intersection had buckled and cracked. The repair involved digging down to the subsurface and rebuilding the asphalt layers on the road surface.

We can help you with that.

Martensville man booked for impaired driving, later arrested for theft of alcohol Submitted by Sgt. Warren Gherasim Warman RCMP Detachment

IMPAIRED CHARGE LAID On August 20, at about 7:30 am police responded to a report of an intoxicated male inside a parked vehicle in Martensville. The male was arrested for having care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired, and was taken for breath test, which revealed his blood alcohol concentration was close to 4 times the legal limit. The man was lodged in cells until sober, then released for a court appearance on October 18. HIT AND RUN ON HWY 60 On August 18, at police had a report of a hit and run. The complainant said he was at house party at a residence on Highway 60 at around 1:00 am and a vehicle backed into his parked vehicle, and sped off. The investigation revealed an altercation had occurred between some of the party guests outside, and one of the people in the fight had taken off and damaged another vehicle in the process. The driver was identified and a charge of drive without due care and attention was laid. DRUNK DRIVER ARRESTED On August 23, at about 11:00 am RCMP had a report of an erratic driver on a grid road near Dalmeny. Police lo-

cated the vehicle and the driver was brought back to detachment for a breath test. The driver’s blood alcohol concentration was about twice the legal limit, and he was released for court.

CHARGES LAID IN FIRE There is an update to the suspicious house fire in Langham that occurred on August 17. On August 24, the Warman RCMP charged three males from Langham under the Youth Criminal Justice Act with Arson. They are scheduled to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court in October. MARTENSVILLE THEFTS On August 21, RCMP had a report that 13 vehicles at a compound near Martensville were broken into, and stereos and other electronic equipment were stolen. Some evidence was seized at the scene for examination by the RCMP Forensic Identification Unit. Anyone with information on this is asked to call police. UP ON CHARGES AGAIN On August 23, a 31 year old man was arrested in Martensville for a series of thefts of alcohol occurring over the previous two days. The man charged in these thefts is the same individual that was charged for having care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired on August 20 in Martensville, as described above. He was held in RCMP

cells for a court appearance on August 24.

DRUG BUST AT LANGHAM On August 17, at about 4:40 am, in the course of a routine traffic stop near Langham, police officers noted the odor of marihuana coming from the vehicle. The two occupants, a male and a female in their twenties, were arrested and the vehicle was searched. Marihuana and drug paraphernalia were seized, and both occupants were charged with possession of marihuana. The male was also arrested for an outstanding arrest warrant. Both were released for future court appearances. WARMAN DRUG BUST On August 20, at about 1:30 am, RCMP on patrol in Warman encountered a group of males around a vehicle. The smell of marihuana was detected, and some drug paraphernalia was observed in the car. An 18 year old man was arrested for possession of the drugs, and was released for a court appearance on October 24. WARMAN SEX ASSAULT On August 8, a sexual assault was reported to have occurred in Warman, during the early morning hours. On August 23, after a thorough investigation, the Warman RCMP determined the allegation was unfounded and have discontinued their investigation.

A bus carrying army, navy and air force veterans is greeted by a flag-waving delegation outside of Warman on Thursday, August 23. The veterans, who came from across North America, were on their way to a “Wounded Warriors” retreat in Nipawin. The retreat was aimed at helping veterans suffering from physical and psychological wounds sustained in combat. People in several communities along Highway 11 greeted the cavalcade as it travelled to its destination. Among those paying tribute to the veterans (right, inset) were: Derek Chabot and his daughters Jade and Taeya, Marlin Gamble, Darien Genereaux, Kimo Klengenberg, Valerie Friesen, Felicia King and Samantha King.

Independent review of RM of Corman Park operations underway By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

n independent review of the RM of Corman Park’s operations over the last five years is currently underway. The independent review was announced by the RM of Corman Park in a news release issued Tuesday, August 21. According to Bob Paisley, interim administrator for the RM of Corman Park, the review will be conducted by accounting firm MNP LLP. The accounting firm was chosen by the RM of Corman Park’s legal counsel firm, Robertson Stromberg LLP. The review wil examine “the operation, function and adherence ot policy and proce-

dures by the RM’s administration over the past five years,” according to the news release issued by the RM. The news release goes on to state “the undertaking will provide the RM with valuable insight into its operations, and allow the RM to better manage its affairs on an ongoing basis.” Public input is sought with respect to this inquiry. The RM notes that any individual wishing to contribute to the review may contact MNP LLP by email at rmcormanpark@mnp. ca . Paisley noted that at this point, there is no set date for the review to be completed. “It will depend on the auditors and what they find out as they do the review,” he stated in an interview.

The RM of Corman Park has experienced internal turmoil over the past two years with administrative staff turnover and sometimes-heated conflicts within the elected council.

GETTING BACK ON TRACK Earlier this year, the RM of Corman Park council adopted a budget that set the mill rate at 10.22. That decision, made at a council meeting on June 28, 2012, represented a 36 per cent increase in the mill rate over 2011. A public meeting in the RM council chambers on July 30 saw many ratepayers in the RM object strongly to the proposed mill rate increase, noting it would mean a substantial increase in their property taxes.

Subsequently, the RM council voted to reset the mill rate increase at 9 mills. This still represents a 20 per cent over 2011, but should be sufficient to provide funding for the RM’s operating and capital needs, according to Paisley. “The mill rate increase was about trying to fund ourselves through a five-year capital plan,” he explained. “When we got everything on that fiveyear capital plan and calculated it out, that was the mill rate proposal that we would need to fund it. After the discussion and in the follow-up council meeting, we set the lower mill rate. It was still an increase from the prior year, and the five-year capital plan will have to be revisted as we go along because some things may have

to be deferred.” Paisley said the RM needs to ensure the financial reserves don’t fall below a certain threshhold level as needed projects are carried out. “We got some good feedback fom the ratepayers,” he said. “Many of them were unhappy, and part of that was because they felt they didn’t get enough information beforehand on what was coming down the pipe. We have to be better at getting the message out there.” Paisley noted that road maintenance is a priority for the RM, and that has been incorporated into the municipality’s operating budget. “That part of the budget is intact and approved,” he said. “People will start to see

a real difference over the next few months with regard to the roads. It’s been a tough year this year because of all the rain, which has delayed a lot of maintenance, so there was a lot of dissatisfaction, and that’s understandable. But we’re starting to catch up now, and we’ll get an earlier start next spring.” Paisley said the RM is gathering information on maintenance costs required for different road surfaces in order to better calculate projected costs in the future. “If we can get a solid handle on the maintenance costs for a mile stretch of hard-surface road and a mile stretch of gravel road, then it allows us to calculate our costs accurately,” he said.

Newspapers reach educated, high-income earners better than other media, which makes advertising in the newspaper an awfully smart choice. NEWSPAPERS. THE MOST TRUSTED MEDIUM.

Hitting the books: Prairie Spirit School Division prepares for start of school year By BRENDA ERICKSON

Communications Consultant Prairie Spirit School Division

tudents in Prairie Spirit School Division will return to school on Tuesday, September 4, following the Labour Day long weekend. Teachers returned to work on August 27 and spent the first week preparing for the upcoming year and participating in staff meetings and professional development.

ENROLMENT RISING The 2012/13 school year marks the seventh consecutive year of enrolment growth in Prairie Spirit School Division, with a projected enrolment of approximately 9,838, an increase of over 260 students from 2011/12. Student enrolment in the Division has grown by 10.6% since the school division was formed by the amalgamation of three school divisions in 2006. As of September 30, 2011, Prairie Spirit had the third highest enrolment growth of all school divisions in the province, after Saskatoon Public and Greater Saskatoon Catholic school divisions. MORE TEACHERS As a result of the enrolment growth in the Division, there will be an increase of 12.47 full-time equivalent (FTE) in-school and centralized teacher positions, which includes 5.0 FTE for English as Additional Language (EAL) supports. ENGLISH LANGUAGE HELP Prairie Spirit School Division has a growing number of new students who do not speak

English as their first language. In the 2008/09 school year, there were 266 EAL students enrolled in Prairie Spirit. This year, there are over 560 EAL students in the Division. In the past, German, Ukrainian and/or French were the most common additional languages in Prairie Spirit communities. Today, Prairie Spirit has a student population which speaks over 24 languages and originates from approximately 30 countries.

CAPITAL PROJECTS Construction is progressing on schedule at the new school in Warman. The $21.5 million school facility is expected to be completed by the time school starts in fall, 2013. The school project was announced by the Premier in March, 2010 and is part of a joint-use project with the Legends Complex in the north end of Warman. MARTENSVILLE HIGH The conceptual design for the renovation and construction project at Martensville High School is underway. Staff and students were consulted for their input on the project earlier this year. The expansion to the high school is expected to more than double the size of the current high school facility, adding approximately 50,000 square feet to the building. The Ministry of Education has projected a cost of $26.3 million for the construction and renovation project, which is scheduled to be completed by 2016. RELOCATABLES The ground work has be-

gun to add several relocatable classrooms to schools in Warman and Martensville this fall. Warman High School will add four more classrooms; Warman Elementary will add two additional classrooms and the two elementary schools in Martensville will each add one more classroom.

PROGRAM INITIATIVES In designing this year’s budget, the Board restated its commitment to programming equity for all students. In addition, the Board directed that the budget reflect its support for innovative ways of incorporating real-life learning with academics, with a goal of providing apprenticeship opportunities to senior high school students. MUSIC AND BAND Prairie Spirit will invest resources in the expansion of the band/music program to all students in the Division. Currently, band programming is offered to students in the east and west parts of the Division, but is not available for students in the northern part of the Division. Earlier this year, the Board approved the use of $445,000 in reserve funds for the initial costs of expanding the band program, including the purchase of band equipment, a study of the current band program in the Division and an examination of other innovations in music instruction for twenty-first century learners. This review will be completed by November, 2012. By January, 2013, a 1.0 FTE position will be created to facilitate the ordering of equipment

and to prepare for the fall, 2013 implementation of the expanded band/music program.

APPRENTICESHIPS The Division is committed to providing students with opportunities to combine their core academic learning at school with learning experiences in the real world. The Division’s plan for supporting an apprenticeship program envisions combining core academic Continued on Page 21 Please see “BACK TO SCHOOL”

Is Sask.’s boom on hold for a while?

C O M M E N T A R Y

Changing labour laws could save you money

The notion that Saskatchewan’s eight-year boom may be coming to an end is a disturbing one to people who have faced all too many economic ups and downs. But before we start dwelling on this too much, let us take into account a couple things: We can’t say for certain that our run of economic good fortunate is over and it may be a little while before we can, and; Even if it is over, we should remember that we’ve survived worse downturns. In fact, the new mantra in next-year country might very well be that these are short-term blips for a province whose natural resources are so vast and valued that we won’t be down for long. To suspect that we have stepped into Saskatchewan’s latest economic quagmire requires us to look past a few signs that suggest the economy is still strong. We seem headed for a bumper crop in many parts of the province that should be in the bins long before fall frosts and rains – always one of the first key indicators of good economic fortune in Saskatchewan. And job creation, construction activity and population growth also suggest this is a province that continues to benefit from its prosperity. That said, critical numbers that dictate how well our budget is doing suggest we aren’t doing very well. The first-quarter report for the 2012-13 budget offered the foreboding news of a quarter-billion-dollar drop in resource revenues, largely driven by falling oil revenue ($159 million less) and oil/gas land sales ($92-million less). While one might think falling oil prices are a temporary economic glitch somewhat dictated by world economic conditions, far more unnerving is the news that Rio de Janeiro-based mining company Vale SA is postponing a $3-billion potash project near Kronau. Economic Development Minister Bill Boyd downplayed this as “one company with some challenges” and that the overall potash industry has a rosy future. There is some credence to this explanation. The industry magazine, Potash and Phosphate acknowledges the Vale postponement and the PotashCorp’s temporary halting of production at Lanigan will not greatly impact the short-

Canadian Taxpayers Association

Imagine if every time you got a pay cheque your employer had skimmed a bit off and sent it to either the Sask Party or the NDP? Wouldn’t you be outraged (especially if you disagreed with their views) that your hard earned money was used to fund them? Unfortunately for some unionized employees in Saskatchewan, that troubling scenario is actually a reality. However, the good news is the Saskatchewan government is currently reviewing the laws that allow this to happen - Saskatchewan’s current labour legislation. If they truly care about the plight of hard-working Saskatchewan citizens, here’s a few places they can start to make changes: First, every pay period in Saskatchewan, unionized workers across the province are forced to pay union dues. Many unions in turn take some of those funds and use them for politics and other non-bargaining activities. For example, last year the NDP received $325,552 in union donations and the Sask Party received $10,752. Thus, you could detest politics entirely, but if you’re unionized by one of the unions that donated to those parties, you’d still be forced to sacrifice some of your pay cheque. Alternatively, a union might use some of your pay cheque to run political advertisements you don’t agree with or donate funds to a charity that is not on your priority list. Your preference might be to instead send those funds to your local church or perhaps spend them on a pack of beer. Whatever the case may be, workers shouldn’t be forced to fund activities they don’t support. The government should change existing labour legislation to restrict union dues to bargaining activities. That way unionized worker’ money is spent in their workplace and the extra – well, workers would get to decide how it is spent. Second, the provincial government should stop using public funds and resources to collect union dues. You see every pay period government employees have to figure out the union dues for unionized government employees and ensure the funds are sent to the respective union. Thus, taxpayers end up footing the bill for all the collection work behind the scenes. Meanwhile, local hockey beer leagues, the red hat society and other groups to which government employees belong have to collect their own membership dues and other fees. Unions should have to do the same. And while the government is at it, they should free businesses from being forced to collect the dues of unions as well. Finally, some have argued the minimum wage should increase automatically with inflation. While the recommendation is likely well intentioned (to help low income people), it actually doesn’t work. If a business is forced by the government to raise the minimum wage tomorrow, many businesses will just raise prices to pay for it. Thus, the minimum wage earner may see a small rise in pay, but they’ll pay more for goods and services. Meanwhile, low-income earners just above the minimum wage level will only see a rise in prices. A better solution is to hike the basic personal amount – the amount of money one can earn before paying taxes. Saskatchewan’s threshold is $14,942, but it still lags Alberta’s threshold of $17,282. As you can see, changing labour legislation can save taxpayers money. Thankfully, having your say isn’t a labour intensive process – simply call or email your local MLA.

term. But when it comes to the medium- and long-term prospects for potash, things continue to look rather rosy. For example, even the recent drought in the United States means an increase in prices. In turn, farmers will want to take advantage of these high prices next spring by growing as much crop as they can. That will result in even more potash sales next year. Of course, such notions are often better in theory than they in practical-

future, things still look pretty good for Saskatchewan’s two economic drivers in the coming years. So is Saskatchewan’s great, eight-year boom really over? Yes? No? Maybe, but it could also just be a one-year blip. Certainly, we do have new-found budget problems largely revolving around lower oil prices and less potash development/ production than anticipated. But what also seems obvious is that long-term demand for Saskatchewan oil and potash will mean any economic downturn shouldn’t last for long. Even if this boom may be over a new one might be right around the corner.

ly. This is the lesson we should have learned from 2009 when the previous year’s economic boom was supposed to have resulted in skyrocketing prices. Angered by the prospects of North American companies gouging them, the Chinese simply stopped buying Canadian potash. And now China is more aggressively looking for its own source of potash. But with an ever-growing middle class in China and India there are more people who can pay for quality western food, requiring more Saskatchewan potash to feed them. Coupled with the likelihood that the world will want our oil and gas in the

Youths charged with arson in Langham fire

Three male youths are facing arson charges in connection with a fire that occured in Langham in mid-August. The youths were charged on August 24, 2012, according to the Warman RCMP. The arson charges were laid under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. They are scheduled to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court in October. The arson charges stemmed from an incident that occurred on August 17, 2012 at 2:18 p.m. Members of the Warman RCMP and the Langham Fire Department responded to a report of a suspicious house fire in the 300 Block of 2nd Street East in Langham. The abandoned residence sustained damages as a result of the fire, however the fire department were successful in saving the structure. The Saskatoon Fire Marshals Office and Warman RCMP investigated the incident.

Retail sales up in June Statistics Canada recently released a report on June retail figures that show Saskatchewan consumers increased their spending in June. According to the report, retail sales jumped by 5.3 per cent in June 2012 over June 2011, the second highest percentage increase in Canada and more than three times the national average. Retail sales were up by 1.7 per cent nationally over the same period. “Average salaries are increasing in the province and that means there’s more money for families,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Confidence in the overall direction of the economy is helping to drive the higher retail sales today, and that’s definitely good for Saskatchewan businesses.” On a month-over-month basis, retail sales were steady, up by 0.1 per cent between May 2012 and June 2012. On a monthly basis, retail sales dropped by 0.4 per cent in Canada. The $1.44 billion in retail sales was also a provincial record for the month of June.

West Nile Virus confirmed in Saskatoon Health Region

est Nile Virus has been confirmed in mosquitoes from a single trap located within Saskatoon city limits, according to the Saskatoon Health Region (SHR). Samples are sent by the City of Saskatoon to the Ministry of Health every week for testing. The positive test result is from a sample sent earlier this month, but no further positive results have been recorded within the city since. It has been five years since a mosquito last tested positive for West Nile Virus in Saskatoon.

CULEX TARSALIS “Culex tarsalis mosquitoes, the carriers of West Nile Virus, arrived in our city at the end of June,” says Dr. Julie Kryzanowski, Deputy Medical Health Officer with Saskatoon Health Region. “Thankfully, the population numbers for this type of mosquito have been low this summer and will decline over the coming weeks. However, with the confirmation of the virus within this population and continued hot weather, we want to remind residents that it is very important they take protective measures.” The following protective measures are recommended to reduce the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes:

Limit outdoor activities between dusk and dawn, when the mosquitoes are most likely to bite. Wear long pants and long sleeve shirts. Use mosquito nets for infants over their play pens and carriages. Keep screened windows and doors in good repair. Check them regularly for holes or gaps. Keep grass cut short. Eliminate all standing water on your property where mosquitoes can lay their eggs (e.g. flower pots, paddling pools, bird baths, etc.) Health Canada recommends the use of repellents containing concentrations of DEET not to exceed 30 per cent for adults or 10 per cent for children six months to 12 years of age. Not more than one application of 10 per cent DEET per day is recommended for infants aged six months to two years old. Some non-DEET repellents have been shown to provide protection for a short period of time (30 minutes to two hours depending on the product), similar to a product with a low concentration of DEET (4.75 per cent). There have been a total of four positive mosquito pools across the Province of Saskatchewan this year.

Warman Sports Celebrity Dinner raises big bucks

T h u r s d a y | A U G U S T 30, 2012

Roughrider legend credits hard work for career success

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

sellout crowd of 535 people took in the 6th annual Warman Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction on Thursday, August 23 - an event that raised an estimated total of about $52,000 over the course of the evening. Heather Chatfield, Recreation Promotions and Marketing Supervisor for the Town of Warman, said the silent and live auctions made up a big part of the overall income for the night, contributing a combined total of $35,352. “It was another very successful year,” Chatfield said. “We as a committee are very happy with how the event went and the high level of support we receive for this event.” She said proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards the future construction of a second arena at the Legends Centre, as well as other continued construction costs associated with the completion of other portions of the building. The second rink will be added onto

the north end of the Legends Centre. The Celebrity Dinner and Auction is a major fundraiser for recreation programs in the Town of Warman. It was held at the Warman High School. Chatfield said the highest price paid for one of the items during the silent auction was $1500 for an autographed Paul Henderson Team Canada hockey jersey. Henderson scored the winning goal for Canada in the landmark 1972 Canada-Russian hockey series. There were a total of 18 autographed hockey jerseys sold at the auction. The live auction also brought in big bucks. A Grant Fuhr autographed jersey, for example, went for $3700. Chatfield said while the autographed hockey jerseys are perennially the most popular items to be auctioned, the framed football helmets and bat-ball combos also proved to be big sellers this year. Chatfield said the sports

ne of the biggest influences on George Reed’s career was his high school football coach. “He had a way of impressing on you want he wanted you to do,” said Reed, the legendary Saskatchewan Roughriders running back. “He’d grab you by the collar and slam you up against the wall of the locker room, and say: ‘Do you understand what you have to do?’ And I would say: ‘Yes, sir.’ I didn’t want to face him so I would go out and outwork everybody else on the field.” Speaking at the 6th Annual Warman Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction on Thursday, August 23, Reed said two other people also had a huge influence on his life. “My mother put me on the right path,” he said. “She supported me and worked hard to send me to university, because I had no money to get there. She put me on the bus and helped me get through college. She was the biggest influence for me off the field.” On the field, his college football coach played a key role. “He said to me: ‘I want two things from you. The first is

that you graduate from university, and then after that you go on and play professional football,” said Reed. “I never forgot that.” Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi in 1939, Reed graduated from Washington State University before heading north to try his hand at a pro career in the Canadian Football League. He was 21 years old at the time. Reed said when he first came to Saskatchewan to try out for the Roughriders in the fall of 1963, he drove right past Regina, not realizing the small community a little to the north of the highway was the province’s capital city. “I stopped in Balgonie to get gas, and asked how far it was to Regina,” said Reed. “They told me I had to turn around and drive 11 miles back the way I had come.” Reed said when he reported to the coach’s office at Taylor Field, the reception was less than cordial. “He looked at me and said, ‘Are you George Reed? You’re too small to play fullback for me, but you might catch on as a spare’,” said Reed. “Well, If I had any brains I would haved

Ultrasound centre set to open Tuesday in Warman

Another professional service is set to launch next week and it’s a further sign the community of Warman has arrived, so to speak. Patients in need of ultrasound services can avoid a trip into Saskatoon by booking an appointment at Warman Diagnostics Ltd., which opens for business on Tuesday, September 4. More commonly known as The Ultrasound Centre, the business will offer head to toe diagnostics including obstetrics, abdomen, pelvis, renal, venous legs, thyroid and others. “I saw a need for better and more convenient outpatient services,” explains owner Nadine Kanigan. “It’s a high demand service that is really a benefit to Warman, Martensville and Rosthern residents as well as anyone in the rural and outlying communities.” Kanigan was trained at Calgary’s Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) and, up to this point, had been scanning for six years at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon. The busy mom of three kids decided to make a positive lifestyle change and is opening her own clinic. Joining Kanigan is Thomas Ball, who has been working as a diagnostic medical sonographer as well as a technologist and instructor at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) and has been the head of imaging there for the past few years. Assisting Kanigan and Ball will be receptionist Susan Reddekopp. The Ultrasound Centre is a state-of-the-art 1,225 square foot facility offering two scanners that can supply physicians and patients with paper and digital images or, if

Warman Diagnostics Ltd. owner Nadine Kanigan (pictured) has been working tirelessly with Sticks & Stones Renovations to put the finishing touches on The Ultrasound Centre in time for its first patients on September 4 circumstances dictate, Kanigan and Ball can utilize a special uplink that allows staff at Saskatoon Medical Imaging to see a live feed of the ultrasound as it is performed. Physicians at GAMA Medical Center, located less than a block away, have been provided requisitions for their patients but Kanigan said any physician can refer patients to her office, even if they are located outside Warman. “The big thing for us is making sure people know we

are here and that they know they can bring their ultrasound requistions to us,” Kanigan adds. The Ultrasound Centre, which is located in the Warman Eyecare building on 6th Avenue South and Klassen Street, has been taking appointments for about a week now and will continue booking clients leading up to the clinic’s first scans on Tuesday. The clinic will be open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

As a School Division we are always working to create a safe environment for our students. We have learned about extra measures we should be taking to ensure safety beyond the regular classroom with respect to our volunteers. We are hopeful that our parents and community will understand and support this new measure to further protect our students. Beginning at this fall, our School Division will require criminal records check for some volunteers. Those who must provide a criminal record check are: • Any person who is a non-parent and is acting as a volunteer for school sponsored activities in Prairie Spirit School Division. • Any person acting as a volunteer for school sponsored activities that have direct or sole responsibility for providing supervision of students. Any person acting as a volunteer for school sponsored overnight activities.

Parent volunteers (including grandparents or legal guardians) who are volunteering and are under the supervision of a Prairie Spirit employee do not require a criminal records check if they are simply working in the school on a daily basis. Schools may, however, ask new parents or parents unknown to the school to provide personal references from known members of the community or, in lieu of meeting these requirements, may require them to provide a criminal record check. If you are a person who is volunteering in one of our schools and we require a criminal record check, we will ask you to read our policy, so that you understand the implications. Please check with the Principal or Vice-Principal to confirm if a criminal records check is required. If while volunteering, you are charged with a criminal offence, we are asking you to provide us with that information, again, with the thought that we always want to do what is best for the safety of our students.

2012/13 SNOW REMOVAL TENDERS Prairie Spirit School Division #206 invites local contractors to tender for snow removal at all our facilities during the months of October 2012 through April 2013.

Oilers dynasty built on youth and raw talent

Rider fans made career memorable, says Narcisse

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

combination of youth, talent and team chemistry propelled the Edmonton Oilers to the top of their game during the 1980s, says Grant Fuhr, a Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender who backstopped the team during their dynasty years. The Oilers won the Stanley Cup in the 1983-84, 1984-85, 1986-87 and 198788 seasons. Speaking at the 6th annual Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction in Warman on Thursday, August 23, Fuhr said the Oilers’ Stanley Cup runs during the glory years were the result of hard work. But it was also a ton of fun, he noted. “In those days, we didn’t have to create chemistry on the team,” he said. “It was just there, right from the start. Everybody did everything together – all the players, the coaches, the spares. We were a big happy family and we had a good time. It was what the Edmonton Oilers were all about.” Fuhr said most of the players at that time were in their early 20s, were tremendously talented, and had the chance to grow together over the years. “You look at the guys we had in the lineup,” he said. “We had Wayne Gretzky, the best player in the game of all time, bar none. We had Jarri Kuri, Kevin Lowe, Mark Messier, Essa Tikkanen. They were all among the best talents in the game at the time and could have played on any team, but we were fortunate that that the pieces all fell together for us. We didn’t know what we had at the time. We were just kids having a good time. I was fortunate to play with some of the best people in the game.” Fuhr said the current crop of young Oilers – which includes players like Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Sam Gagne - is similar in many ways to the team of the 1980s, but there are also differences in the game and in the National Hockey League. “Edmonton is going in the right direction,” he said. “The kids they have now will grow together, and they’ll have their share of success. But it’s different now. When you look at the game, it’s more businesslike, and the focus is on individuals rather than the team as a whole. The game has grown, but it’s missing the parts where you get to have the kind of fun we used to have. You don’t get the same kind of camaraderie.” Fuhr said he hopes the NHL and the NHL Players Association (NHLPA) can reach a new collective agreement in the next few weeks and avoid a disruption of the coming season. But he’s not making any predictions. In answer to the question “Do you think they will play hockey after September 15?” Fuhr replied: “Good question. At some point, yeah, they’ll play hockey. I have a strange feeling there might be a late start to the season. Anytime you get negotiations, it usually drags along. I would like to think it would be sorted out. Hockey is growing as fast as ever and it would be bad to have them put a damper on that.”

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

hen Don Narcisse got cut by a National Football League (NFL) team early in his professional career, he thought his playing days might be over. But he decided to take a chance and try out for the Roughriders. “I had no idea where Regina or Saskatchewan was,” said Narcisse. “When I got off the plane that day in early September, my first thought was: ‘Man, is it ever cold up here’. But I went to my first practice. They told me to run ten routes, and I caught 9 of 10 passes. That day, they gave me Number 8, and I got a chance to play for the Riders for 13 years. I didn’t know it at the time, but once you put that green jersey on, you’re a Rider for life. The fans here in Saskatchewan are unbelievable, and that’s the reason I moved to Regina when my playing days were done.” Narcisse, a featured speaker at the 6th annual Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction in Warman August 23, said when he was inducted into the hall of fame in front of 32,000 fans at a Rider game, it was one of the proudest moments of his life. “They gave me a standing ovation,” he said. “I said to myself, these people are unbelievable, and I decided to move back to Saskatchewan. The fans – the community – are what this game and this team are all about.” Narcisse said the key to success in sports is the same as life in general. “You have to work hard and be determined,” he said. “Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard. A lot of guys I played against were big and tall and fast, but I outworked them, and that was the difference.” Narcisse added that another important life lesson he tries to pass on to kids today is that “nobody is going to give you anything in life. If someone gives you something they can always take it back.”

(Clockwise from top) Grant Fuhr signs autographs. Wendel Clark enjoys the evening. Don Narcisse hams it up for the audience. Jordan Eberle has a winning smile and winning ways. Scott Schultz had some of the best one-liners of the night. TERRY JENSON | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE

LOVE OF THE GAME Wendel Clark, the legendary Toronto Maple Leafs captain who grew up in Kelvington, Saskatchewan, agreed that hard work and determination are what separate the great players from the good players. “You have to love what you’re doing,” Clark added. “The guys who consider the game to be work don’t really love the game. They like the game, but they don’t love it. The guys who love it will push it to the next level.” Clark said his most memorable game was “Kelvington against Rose Valley” when he scored the most goals in a single game. “But the most memorable season was my first season in the NHL,” he said. “Everything was new. I was 18 years old. I had made my dream of playing in the NHL. Every day- every game – every practice - was a new adventure.”

DEBT LIMIT INCREASED The CIty of Warman has applied for provicial approval to increase its debt limit. At its July 17 meeting, Martensville City Council agreed to request that the debt limit for the City be increased to $18 million. The request is now in the

hands of the Saskatchewan Municipal Board.

BLACK IRON CROSSING A request from North Prairie Developments to lease a portion of a city-owned boulevard along Centennial Drive North was received at the city council meeting. The developer is facilitating the creation and expansion of a major big box retail shopping centre, known as Black Iron Crossing, on the west side of Centennial Drive. The request for the lease was made in order to erect a large sign pylon for the development. Council reserved its decision, noting that it was important to have the municipality’s liability regarding maintenance around the sign covered off in any agreement. HOUSING STARTS The City of Martensville continues to boom, even as the peaking summer building season starts to wind down. Martensville Director of Planning, Bonnie Gorelitza, told the concil meeting there have been 98 new house permits.

Ray of SUnshine Animals, children help brighten the day for residents of Care Home By TERRY PUGH

tpugh@ccgazette.ca

he Spruce Manor Special Care Home in Dalmeny opened its doors to the community last Thursday, August 23 during its “Western Day” celebration. For the residents of the care home, most of whom are quite elderly, it was a day to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends while listening to music and sampling treats. A petting zoo set up by Jim Haleschuk of Pike Lake was a focal point for residents and the many youngsters who were visiting for the day. People had a chance to

make acquaintances with a miniature horse, donkey, numerous goats and even a pot-bellied pig and a snake. The outdoor event, held in the courtyard of the special care home, is a tradition that started several years ago, according to Cheryl Thiessen, coordinator of recreation programs for the residents. “We find it’s just a neat way to bring families out and spend the day with the residents in a nice setting,” she said. “Many of the staff also come and bring their families and it’s just a relaxed way to give everyone a chance to see what we do here. It’s also nice for the residents to see so many people and

take advantage of a beautiful day outside.” Thiessen said the average age of the residents is about 90 years old. “They just enjoy it so much,” she said. “They are part of a very unfrivolous generation that had to work so hard all the time, so they really appreciate the opportunity to have a good time.” Thiessen said the residents are also “very good sports” about donning cowboy hats and other western clothing for the occcasion. “The big thing, I think, for many residents is seeing all the children and hearing the laughter and seeing the animals. It brings back a lot of memories for them.”

Fatality underscores need to slow down in Orange Zone A fatal collision in the Orange Zone is a stark reminder of the need to slow down and drive carefully in construction zones. A flag person was struck by a vehicle in a construction zone early Friday evening. The accident took place at the site of a repaving project on Highway 39 between Midale and Halbrite. The incident is currently under investigation by the RCMP and the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety. “First and foremost, we want to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the young woman who died so tragically,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said. “This kind of accident should never happen. All it takes is for drivers to obey the law and slow down - especially in construction zones.” Motorists are required, by law, to slow to 60 kilometers per hour when passing workers and equipment in construction zones. Motorists are also required to obey all signage and instructions within construction zones.

BACK TO SCHOOL Continued from Page 4

learning at school with learning experiences in the workplace. For example, students might have the opportunity to begin an apprenticeship program while still in high school. This would also allow students to work towards high school credits and at the same time acquiring SIAST or other post-secondary credits. Students who have exposure to relevant and authentic learning will be more engaged learners who achieve better results overall. Preliminary work on this project has begun and will continue in the 2012/13 school year. This will involve creating a sub-committee from schools to assist in the development of a model (expected to be ready by November, 2012). This work will also involve and rely on partnerships with local businesses. The Board has committed initial funding of $65,000 to start this project and support the work of the committee.

PRACTICAL ARTS In 2011, the Board approved the use of $3.86 million of reserve funds for the enhancement of Practical and Applied Arts (PAA) programming throughout the Division. These funds are now being used to support equipment and infrastructure upgrades required to ensure the safety, effectiveness and efficiency of PAA programming throughout the Division. The PAA Project Facilitator has completed on-site visits and initial evaluations in all locations. Appropriate dust collection and ventilation systems are being put into place in Industrial Arts labs, along with commercial grade tools that students will encounter on work sites. Work will continue to progress in stages, designed to minimize disruption to classes. Home Economics labs will also have upgrades in the areas of ventilation, equipment, appliances, and kitchen work stations, as necessary, in each location. It is currently anticipated that the project will be completed over the next year and a half. The Division is also investigating how additional PAA credits might be offered to students in innovative ways.

Horoscopes CAPRICORN Boundaries are crossed and feuds erupt. Mediate only if asked, Capricorn. Family makes far too many demands. Fulfill the most important and leave the rest be. AQUARIUS Volunteerism fills a void in your life, Aquarius. Gross figures force a friend to take an alternative strategy. Give them your support. A letter proves insightful. PISCES A number of projects beg for your attention, but you have time for only a few. Attack the ones that count and save the rest for another day, Pisces. ARIES Home improvement plans get put on hold when guests drop by. Welcome them, sit back and relax, and prepare to have a good time. It’s been awhile, Aries. TAURUS A home repair gets done quickly when a relative offers to help. Reward them with dinner out and don’t take no for answer, Taurus. GEMINI Power plays at work put everyone on edge. Relax, Gemini. You have nothing to do with what’s going on and will not be affected. A gift arrives. CANCER Praise for a job well done could not come at a better time, Cancer, as war breaks out at home. There is nothing you can do but wait for everyone to come to their senses. LEO The is the week for relationships, Leo. Bonds grow deeper at home, while a business partnership is extended. The search for a new hobby begins. VIRGO Wet and wild is the theme of the week, Virgo. Whether a day at the water park or water gun fights in the backyard, loads of fun are on tap. LIBRA Don’t judge a book by its cover. Dig deeper, Libra, and get everything needed to make an accurate assessment. No news is good news, right? Wrong! SCORPIO You don’t have to like it, Scorpio, but you most certainly must learn to play the game if you want to get anywhere at work. A special occasion draws near. SAGITTARIUS Listlessness sets in at home. Break up the boredom with a trip someplace out of the ordinary, Sagittarius. Special favors are granted.

Barn Playhouse delivers another hit with over-the-top comedy farce Every Little Crook and Nanny tickles the funny bone with well-timed one-liners By HILARY KLASSEN

hilaryklassen@gmail.com

you think you get what a nanny is, you might want to think again. Meet Lillie Scones, in Every Little Crook and Nanny, the current offering at the Barn Playhouse. Lillie is the perfect hostess who runs a boarding house to help pay the bills in her later years. But hiding inside this respectable senior persona is a perky rebel who, together with her two pals Jocelyn and Carmella, defies age and conventions. When a former charge of Lillie’s from years gone by rents a room at her boarding house, things start to heat up. Stu Benchley plans to rob the bank with his side-kick Little Pat. Little do they know there is another set of bank rob-

bers in town. They plan their caper in brief asides while remaining outwardly congenial.

FINELY-TUNED FARCE In this finely tuned farce, comedic content is crisply delivered. Teddy Hitchell is engaged to Betty Collins, the police chief’s daughter, who is about to graduate from an academy. When Teddy asks Carmella, “Haven’t I seen your face in the Post Office?” she quips, “under wanted or obituaries?” Later Teddy says to the three ladies, “I hope I haven’t shattered anyone’s illusions.” They reply, “At our age, we don’t have any left.” Stu and Pat suddenly realize that by attending the graduation, they can set up the perfect alibi for a bank robbery. When they find out Betty is actually graduating from the police academy, they scramble desperately to go through with their plans while surrounded by police.“This zany comedy is the recipe for a classic who-

dunit where nobody is above suspicion.”
