Corman Park referendum to feature two electoral boundary questions By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

referendum to determine divisional boundaries in the RM of Corman Park will be held on Wednesday, October 26. At a special meeting on Monday, August 29, the RM Council voted to hold the referendum at the same time as a regularly-scheduled election for councilors representing even-numbered divisions. While the elections will take place in even-numbered divisions only, the referendum on divisional boundaries will be put to voters throughout the entire RM, in both even-numbered and odd-numbered divisions. Advance polls for both the referendum and the even-numbered division elections will take place at the RM of Corman Park ofﬁce on Friday, October 21. There will actually be two questions on the referendum ballot, and the results of the voting may have to go to the Provincial Minister of Municipal Affairs in Regina for a ﬁnal interpretation. One question will ask voters if they are in favour of realigning the

The binder was donated to the club by a local farmer, but club members had to cut down several poplar trees which had grown up around the machine over the years while it lay idle. They have replaced the canvas a couple times, but other than that it has performed almost like new. The Threshermen s Club, which has about 20 active members, is holding its annual Threshing Day on Saturday, September 17 just north of Hague.

the referendum to coincide with the October 26 election, and confirming the question on the ballot, a motion was put forward by Reeve Mel Henry to put a second question on the referendm ballot. Henry s resolution called for realigning the division boundaries, but to retain the same number of divisions. A proposed electoral map based on a proposal that was first put to council in 2009 was attached to his motion. After considerable debate, the resolution endorsing the addition of a second question on the referendum was passed, with 7 councilors voting in favour, and 4 councilors opposed. The interpretation of the final results will be left in the hands of the provincial Minister of Municipal Affairs.

The other question will ask voters if they are in favour of realigning the division boundaries, but retaining 11 electoral divisions. The electoral boundary referendum was prompted by a petition signed by over 1500 eligible ratepayers and submitted to council in late June. The petition called for a referendum question asking voters whether they are in favour of a realignment of divisional boundaries, and a reduction in the number of electoral divisions in the RM. A proposed electoral division map outlining the proposed boundary changes is available for ratepayers to view at the RM of Corman Park ofﬁce prior to the referendum.

Meeting Place coffee shop closing after serving area for nine years By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

fter nine years in business, the Meeting Place coffee shop in Warman is closing its doors. It was a great run,, explained Barb Shram, a member of the Christian Life Fellowship church, which owns the building. We have mixed feelings about closing, but we feel it s the right decision at this time. Shram said the coffee shop, which sold high-end cappuccinos and desserts, was designed to serve the community by fulfilling a need. The coffee shops last day of business is Friday, September 2. Shram, who has been invovled in the volunteer-run coffee shop since it first started in 2002, said the business is not in trouble financially and is not closing because of perceived competition from the new Tim Horton s franchise in town. There are a lot of rumours out there, and we just want people to know that we re not in any difficulty, Shram said. We just feel it s a good time to wind things down. We re not closing because of any crisis. The church congregation decided to purchase the building in 2002 when it came up for sale. We wanted to do something different for our community, said Shram, whose husband, Kendal, is pastor at the church and a Warman town councilor. We decided to put our money where our mouth is, so to speak. We felt that our mandate was to serve the community, and we wanted to serve it with excellence. We wanted a place where people could come and have an excellent experience. She said the congregation wanted to show the community, in a concrete way, that it was there to serve. The perception is that churches take, she said. We wanted to show there is another side. She said the idea of a coffee shop was taken up with enthusiasm because at the

time, it was a unique venture. We wanted a place where people could get a taste of the big city, without leaving home, she said. While the shop operates on volunteer labour, it is otherwise set up as a regular business. It is not a fundraiser for the church, Shram said. It doesn t have charitable status. It s a business, we pay all the taxes that every other business in town does. Any proﬁt made by the Meeting Place was turned back into community projects, she said. We ve given away thousands of dollars, mostly towards high school scholarships, to which we ve contributed every year. We ve also supported young people that went to different third world countries to make a difference in the lives of people in those countries. The coffee shop has also helped train many young people and provided them with practical skills for the labour market, noted Shram. She said the coffee shop has been important to many people who have volunteered their labour. She noted that two individuals, Sara Skorupan and Martha Lemky, have been involved as volunteers for the entire nine years. The church purchased the building when it came up for sale in the fall of 2002, and celebrated the coffee shops grand opening in the spring of 2003. The building, which is one of the oldest in Warman, dates back to 1915. It originally served as a store and residence of Stephen Hachl from 1915 to 1923. The business was sold to H.D. Thiessen, who operated a store from the building from 1923 to 1946. Ben Ens owned the building and a store from 1946-1974. Dave Kessler purchased it in 1974, and it continued as a

store, but eventually became the Warman ofﬁce for Kessler Insurance. It was a pizza restaurant for a brief period in the late 1990s and early 2000s before being bought by the church. Shram said the building was completely gutted and renovated by volunteer labour in the fall of 2002. We basically built a new building inside the shell of the old one, she said. It was plaster and sawdust inside, so it took a lot of work to bring it up to modern standards. The coffee shop was designed to basically break even, noted Kendal Shram. Most months the shop made enough money to pay its bills, but there were some months when the church supplemented those earnings, he stated. Barb Shram said the coffee shop provided a focal point for many people in the

At this point, it is not for sale, she said. But it is one of the options we re looking at. We re also looking at perhaps keeping it and renting it out for different functions. We ll see how it goes. FORM H (Section 45 of the Act)

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2011 • PG. 6

Saskatchewan one of Laytons few failings One of the more intriguing mysteries about the late Jack Layton s career is why he didn t do better here. After all, when Jack Layton started out as federal NDP leader, all he and his party had going for it was Saskatchewan. When Layton inherited a rather moribund NDP in the wake of previous leaders Audrey McLaughlin and Alexa McDonough, the federal party was very close to an all-time low. In fact, so low was its national support base that one in four party memberships came from Saskatchewan. For that reason that the Montreal-born, Toronto city councillor made Regina his home away from home during his 2003 successful leadership bid. There is little argument that his was a very successful career in federal politics. Since that 2003 leadership win, Layton outlasted no less than four Liberal leaders and two parties on right. And most signiﬁcant to his legacy, Jack Layton outlasted the Bloc Quebecois, essentially replacing it as the voice of Quebec in the 2011 election that led to his party winning 103 seats nationality. But strangely absent from Layton s political resume is electoral success in Saskatchewan. Since his selection as party leader, the NDP have failed to win a seat in the prov-

MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics

ince many consider the NDP s home. Even the woeful Liberals were able to elect Ralph Goodale in Saskatchewan in all four elections when the NDP were shut out. There are a number of factors as to why. The ﬁrst might that that Layton ‒ for whatever national appeal he had in the latter years of his political career in particular ‒ never connect especially well in Saskatchewan. Perhaps it was partly because of his roots in Eastern Canada. But one suspects that it the problem for Layton went beyond personality. Layton s tenure also represented an era in which the NDP generally stopped connecting with Saskatchewan ‒ especially rural Saskatchewan. It was clear that NDP were on the wrong side of the fence when it came issues like gun control and the Canadian Wheat Board. While Layton stood strong on social justice and environmental issues, Saskatchewan was more pre-occupied by its rise to economic prominence. Conservative philosophy now

reigns supreme in this province. Brad Wall s rather conservativeminded Saskatchewan Party government are polling at levels that would translate into a historic provincial victory. And federally, Conservative numbers have been similarly historic. The Conservative juggernaut won 46 per cent (and 86 per cent of the Saskatchewan seats) in 2006, 54 per cent (and 93 per cent of the seats) in 2008 and 56 per cent (and again 93 per cent of the seats) in 2011. However, it is the disproportional success of the Conservatives that offers a much clearer picture of the Layton-NDP failings in Saskatchewan in the past decade. With 26-and 32-per-cent of the vote in 2008 and 2011 respectively, there clearly should have been enough NDP support in Saskatchewan for the NDP to at least win a few seats. The problem is that the NDP vote was simply not concentrated enough in Saskatchewan and one has to look no further than the electoral map to see why. The implementation of eight rural-urban seats prior to the 2004 vote seriously diluted the NDP s city base from which to could build its electoral success. Of course, New Democrats have themselves to blame. Ironically, it was NDP MPs in the early 2000s that rejected what would have been

a much more favourable electoral map without the split urban and rural seats. As a result, Layton s New Democrats were stuck with unfavourable rural-urban vote splits that

have shut them out of Saskatchewan since 2004. It s a strange blemish on Layton s political career that was all about revitalizing the NDP.

Reader Opinions

Making the case for a public inquiry into operations of Gardiner Dam

full public inquiry is needed into the operations of the Gardiner Dam at Lake Diefenbak-

er.

A proposed internal review by the Saskatcehwan Watershed Authoirty (SWA is not sufficient because it will not adequately address the issues and concerns of landowners who have experienced flooding this past spring. John Fahlman of the SWA is on record as stating that after every flood event the SWA carries out an internal review. It does not appear that the 2005 internal review (which would have found that the SWA operated the Gardiner Dam at 2 metres above guideline in the spring of 2005 causing the flood in June of that year) had any impact on operation of the Gardiner Dam in 2011 because SWA again operated the dam above guideline ‒ this year they were over 4.5 metres above guideline - causing the flood of June 2011. Regardless of what SWA personnel say or write about balancing water supply demands and flood control, it is clear that their way of operating the Gardiner Dam is to forego any flood control to maximize water supply. Clearly, when SWA cannot be trusted to operate the Gardiner Dam responsibly, the agency should not be trusted to conduct an internal review impartially. I do suggest that an internal review could be used to figure out who,

Gazette

in the agency, decided to run the Gardiner Dam without the required flood control. Apparently someone noticed there is better money in water supply and no real money in flood control ‒ this year shows the liability the SWA is prepared to inflict on the people of Saskatchewan in the quest for cash. The internal review by the SWA could be used to determine who should be fired or asked to resign. A recent letter (dated June 22, 2011) from Wayne Dybvig, President of the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority, stated that the SWA was prepared to leave 0.37 metres of space at the top of the Gardiner Dam by the end of June. In previous correspondence with myself the SWA stated that their guideline for July 1 was to accomplish a water elevation level of 555.0 to 555.3 at the Gardiner Dam (ensuring 1.57 to 1.87 metres of space for flood control even after the June rains. The public inquiry should clearly spell out how much space is required to provide flood control downstream of the dam and it should also determine how much flood control is required when coffer dams are present in the river blocking the flow of water. The Coffer Dam Effect The coffer dam that has been constructed around the pylons of the South Circle Drive Bridge construction site has resulted in water being pushed appreciably higher than would be anticipated by the www.ccgazette.ca

general population. Not only was the general population surprised by the anticipated flood water levels, but apparently so were SWA personnel ‒ which should not be the case, considering their expertise . An Advisory/ Warning, dated June 13, 2011, from John Fahlman reads: Added to SaskPower s releases through Coteau Creek power plant, the total outflow will be 1300 m3/s. River water levels downstream will increase approximately 0.5 metres (metres). (For comparison, in 2005, flows downstream of Lake Diefenbaker peaked at approximately 1890 m3/s.) In reality significantly higher flood water levels were observed this year than seen in 2005, despite the lower flow rate in the river. This can be understood by estimating that the coffer dam caused about a 50 % increase in flood water level because of its presence. This means that a flow rate of about 900 m3/s with the coffer dam effect (900 + 50% of 900 = 1350 m3/s ) will initiate flooding in the Moon Lake area, because a flow rate of 1300 m3/s (without the coffer dam effect) causes flooding at this location. At the reported 1500 m3/s maximum flow rate in 2011, the coffer dam effect caused flood water levels comparable to that which would be observed at a flow rate of approximately 2250 m3/s without the coffer dam effect. This estimated coffer dam effect (i.e., the 50 % increase in flood water level) is

supported by: a. Observed flood water levels on our property being a least 1 foot higher in 2011 than in 2005. b. Property owner south of us, who built berms to guard against 2000 m3/s flows, reported that these berms were overtopped. c. May explain the Outflow Graph produced by SaskPower, which appeared on the SWA website showing outflows of 2300 to 2400 m3/s. The presence of this coffer dam, obviously approved by someone in the Saskatchewan Government, should have alerted SWA that they needed to ensure more space was left in the Diefenbaker Reservoir when history shows the average peak inflow into the reservoir is expected to be over 1300 m3/s during June. With the coffer dam effect the anticipated flood water level with a flow of 1300 m3/s is comparable to damage inflicted by a flow of 2000 m3/s without a coffer dam. Because a coffer dam has an appreciable impact on water levels upstream, a property owner is forced to conclude that the SWA had every intention of flooding our property this year. Examining the current water level in the Diefenbaker reservoir, it is clear that the SWA is keeping the reservoir at Full Supply Level ‒ any rainfall upstream, resulting in a flow of 900 m3/s or more, will again result in flooding in the Moon Lake area. Recent history demon-

strates that a property owner would be a fool to believe that any internal review will result in any changes in the operation of the Gardiner Dam. It is clear that SWA intended to flood us in June, and intends to flood us if any more rainfall results in inflows of water of 900 m3/s or more. The continued involvement of SWA in operating dams/reservoirs must be evaluated independently as they have subjected Saskatchewan taxpayers to almost unlimited financial risks. We have spent almost three weeks pumping the flood water off of our property. This year, when the flow rate in the river dropped after sustained high flows for over three weeks, it became clear to us that owners of properties north of us had built up roadways, etc., which meant that the water on our land did not run off like it did when the flow rate was reduced in the river after the 2005 flood. This year, the flood water remaining on our land was about a half foot higher than the level at which it stabilized when the flow in the river was reduced in 2005. After having completed the pumping out of water, the farm is finally drying out. Clearly hydroelectricity does not look very green when it results in the destruction of so many trees just on our farm. William Lemisko WorldAway Farm RM of Corman Park

Osler drainage project seeks input from affected landowners By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Major upgrades to the drainage system connecting the Town of Osler to the South Saskatchewn River are set to begin this fall, but the plan still needs the approval of affected landowners. At a special ﬂood mitigation meeting in Osler on Tuesday, August 23, Osler Mayor Ben Buhler said the town is seeking input from all landowners. We want to come up with a solution to make things better for everyone, Buhler said. We want to be upfront about this plan and make sure we take everything into account

and do it properly. The last thing we want to do is create a problem for someone else downstream. Notices for the meeting were sent to all affected landonwers along the route. Approximately 25 people attended, including the Reeve and several councilors from the RM of Corman Park, but not all the people affected by the proposal were present. Buhler said special efforts will be made to keep all landowners informed. Preliminary plans for the Osler drainage proposal were sketched out at the meeting by Brett Laroche, an engineer with the ﬁrm of Catterall and Wright. Detailed engineer-

ing speciﬁcations still need to be conducted on the project, and a budget based on those estimated costs needs to be drawn up. Laroche explained that the proposed drainage system involves deepening and widening the ditch that runs parallel to Blumenheim Road east of Osler. The upgraded drainage ditch would divert water ﬂow that currently meanders thorugh a series of shallow gullies south of Blumenheim Road immediately east of the Osler sewage lagoon. The re-graded ditch would run from the sewage lagoon to a small cemetery. From that point, the water would be di-

verted to a natural drainage gully that flows in a southeasterly direction directly into the river. Laroche said the Town of Osler is looking to head off potential problems of surface water runoff. I give the town council credit for looking to the future and trying to deal with some of these issues now, he said. He noted that because of the flat topography east of Osler, there is no real defined drainage path until the surface water runoff reaches the cemetery, about midway between the town and the river. He said deepening the Continued on Page 17 Please see OSLER DRAINAGE

Hallelujah Girls strikes chord with audience By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

If you re a fan of Steel Magnolias , you ll like The Hallelujah Girls , the latest offering of the Barn Playhouse. Set in Eden Falls, Georgia, the comedy revolves around a group of feisty southern women who stick together through whatever life happens to throw their way. It s a formula that s been done before (The Golden Girls is still popular in TV re-runs), but it works. The show, like so many Barn Playhouse projects, sold out quickly for its two week run. It s easy to see why, when the audience at every performance gives the cast and crew a standing ovation. But if you didn t get a ticket, don t despair. The popular show has been held over. The producers added another performance on Monday, September 5. Call 239-4600 to get a ticket before they re gone. The story hinges on the efforts of Sugar Lee Thompkins, played by Sharon Loeppky, to renovate an old abandoned church and build a successful day spa business. Loeppky gives a strong performance as the lead character. Sugar Lee, like the abandoned church she renovates, has seen better days. While she s determined to make a success of the business, she also has to deal with the return of her old ﬂame, and the machinations of her arch-rival. Her close friends Carlene Travis (played by Tanya Funk), Nita Mooney (Cheryl Cole), Mavis FLowers (Liz Scott) and Crystal Hart (Debbie Larsen) are all committed to helping out, but they re each dealing with their own

personal issues at the same time. Carlene refers to herself as the Black Widow because she s buried three husbands as a result of three separate freak accidents involving snakes, electricity, and bad mayonnaise. Nita is addicted to sappy romance novels and has a no-good 20-something son who is either just getting out of prison or going back in. Mavis is unhappily married and full of acidly-funny wisecracks. Crystal likes to celebrate every holiday on the calendar, including Chinese New Year, by dressing in costume and composing bad lyrics. She s a bit on the loopy side after that one bad experience with a tornado. Rounding out the cast are Bunny Sutherland (played by Charlotte Froese), a backbiting Continued on Page 17 Please see BARN PLAYHOUSE

Leadership qualities needed most during tough times, says Linden By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Trevor Linden s storied career with the Vancouver Canucks almost ended before it began.

Drafted second overall in the ďŹ rst round by the Canucks in 1988, Linden and his parents were in the Vancouver team s hospitality room after the NHL entry draft. My dad, a good old hardworking prairie guy from Medicine Hat, wasn t particularly up on the NHL or the Canucks organization, said Linden. We re standing around chatting and up comes Arthur GrifďŹ ths, who stands about 5 foot 4 and looks like a paperboy. My dad slaps him on the back and says: What do you do for the team? And Arthur GrifďŹ ths replies: My name is Arthur and I own the team. I just about died. But dad and Arthur ended up becoming good friends and they still keep in touch. Linden, who was inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame in 2010, was the keynote speaker at the 5th annual Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction in Warman on Thursday, August 25. Linden headlined an allstar cast of athletes that included Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant, receiver Weston Dressler, defensive lineman Jerrell Freeman, Toronto Maple Leafs star Colby Armstrong and Pittsburgh Penguins sniper Mark Letestu.

Tough situations bring out the best and worst in all of us. It s easy to be a leader when things are going well, but the real test of character comes when things get tough. One thing you don t want to do is point the ďŹ nger at someone else and complain. That s a losing mentality. He said being in a leadership position is sometimes very lonely and difďŹ cult. You can t always make everyone happy, he said. But you have to have the courage to LEADERSHIP do what is right, and CHALLENGES what is in the best interests of your Linden said when group.

phoned Linden again to say thanks. The next day, I read in the newspaper that Dany signed an 8-year, $56 million dollar contract, so I guess he didn t think it was such a bad deal after all, related Linden. TIMES HAVE CHANGED Linden said he was fortunate to play in the NHL when he did. The game has changed since I ďŹ rst entered the NHL, he related. In those days, there were a lot more goals scored, and there seemed to be more room on the ice. Wayne Gretzky scored 92 goals in one season, and it wasn t uncommon for players to have 150 or 160 points in a season. He added the stakes are

higher in professional hockey now, and teams are less able to help young players develop and make mistakes. There s a lot more on the line now, he said. If a player doesn t perform it costs him his job. There is up to $63 million invested in players, so it s big money. There s a lot of pressure. He noted that things were more relaxed around the NHL in the 1980s and 1990s. Between periods some guys would have a cigarette, he said.

A summer reading program sponsored by the Wheatland Regional Library had many young people exploring the world of books and having fun in the process. The Langham branch of the Wheatland Library held its windup on Tuesday, August 23, with a special appearance by entertainer Warren Johnson of Saskatoon. The balloon expert, who operates under the business name of Balloon Funn , amazed a crowd of youngsters with his engaging patter while turning out a variety of animals, swords, guns and hats. It was all part of Splash Out - an end-of-summer party that featured a barbecue, crafts, and a draw for prizes. Erin Halliwell, librarian at the Langham branch of the Wheatland Library, said the program attracted a large number of children of all ages. We had about 20 kids enrolled in the program for the pre-school to Grade 6 age group, Halliwell explained. And we had about 15 students involved in the program for Grades 7 through 12. The summer reading program has made the library one of the social centres for the younger generation, Halliwell noted. I love seeing the kids come in and take out a whole bunch of books at once, she said. Under the program, once they read ten books, they receive a coupon for a prize. And at the end of the summer, the grand prizes are awarded. Hallilwell said the reading program aimed at teenagers was very popular in Langham this summer. We had a lot more teens signed up this year, she noted. I think it was because one of our kids in Langham won a grand prize from Wheatland last year, so that really provided some motivation for other kids in town. She said the library has been a busy place over the summer as people of all ages make use of the new inter-library system impemented last year. People can go through the library database on their computer at home and then place their order through Wheatland, she said. They

can order d any book b k through h h any library system in the province, so that has really increased the number and type of books available to the public. Halliwell said the books that people order are delivered to the library every Monday. That s our busy day, when people come down to pick up the books that are on hold for them, she said. We get our regulars - lots of seniors and lots of younger people. But we also see a new face come in every now and then as the community grows. New residents to Langham are able to switch their Saskatoon Public Library card to a Wheatland Regional Library card at no cost.

A summer reading program at the Osler branch of the Wheatland Regional Library had kids reaching new heights. A total of 38 youngsters participated in the Splash Celebrate Summer reading program, according to librarian Tina Rempel. Of those, ﬁve achieved the goal of reading 100 books. It was pretty amazing, said Rempel during the library s windup celebration on Friday, August 26. The kids really got excited about the program as the summer went along. The youngsters who achived the goal of reading 100 books included Ethan Mitchell, Hannah Mitchell, Katherine Penner, Tristan Ens

and Keira Ens. A large beach-theme mural on a wall inside the library painted by local artist Jessica Reimer gave the children a visual representation of their accomplishments, noted Rempel. Every week throughout the summer, every time they read ten books, they received a prize, and they gradually progressed from the beach into the water onto the surfboards and eventually some even made it to ﬂying above the waves, she explained She said the library is exploring ways to stay open longer hours as increasing numbers of patrons take advantage of the new provincewide borrowing system. We re hooked into a system which links us to every library in the province, she said. So if we don t have the book, we can get it very quickly.

A new school year is a fresh new start for families (NC)̶Many of us, even those without children or in school themselves, view the ﬁrst day back at school as the start of a new year. As we we're all in school at one time or another, we all recognize that the day after Labour Day really is an opportunity to start fresh, shake off some bad habits and kickstart some new ones. As such, it's a great time to reﬂect and make some steadfast resolutions to stick to until the end of the school year (or even permanently). We all know it's easier to turn a resolution into a habit by doing it with other people. In doing so, you'll feel more responsible to hold up your end of the bargain, so why not extend the resolution to your entire family? Kids can get really excited about new activities and rituals, so take a moment and sit down together to brainstorm. By making it a family affair, you're setting your family up for success and hopefully instilling some life-long habits that will increase your health and wellbeing. The following are a few thought-starters, but the fun part is customizing and tailoring the resolutions to your family:

1. Sit down together every morning for breakfast. Mornings can be hectic, but if you choose a simple breakfast that is a crowd pleaser and that everyone can help them-

selves to, such as cereal, it's a resolution you can keep. Experts worldwide agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, for kids and adults alike. And readyto-eat cereal is a nutritious, convenient and affordable choice. Plus, it's a great way to connect before the day begins and everyone goes their separate ways. More information about the beneﬁts of choosing cereal can be found online at www.loveyourcereal.ca. 2. Pick one TV show that you will all watch together every week. It could be a favourite sitcom, sports or even a cartoon, but sharing a laugh together and talking

about your favourite parts in the show is a really great way to make lasting memories. Make this a must-attend event. Once the show is picked, everyone has to make the time and a commitment to share in it together. 3. Make physical activity a part of everyday. We all know that kids these days are leading more sedentary lives than their parents and grandparents did. It's important to show children the value of exercise and how fun it can be. It could be a bike ride, walking, skating, rollerblading, dancing in the family room or even a scavenger hunt in the backyard, but setting aside at least 30 minutes a day for your kids to engage in physical activity is a must. 4. Set chores for everyone. Parents lead by example, so it's important that your children understand how much work their parents do and what they can do to help. Once they have ownership over a certain task, make it fun for them by handing out stickers or playing music during clean-up time, and they will more than likely continue to do it.

Set your child up for success this year (NC)ĚśWe've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day - and it's true. Research reveals that people who skip breakfast don't make up for the missed nutrients later in the day. But, how many of us follow that advice and ensure that our kids eat it too? It's crucial to start your day with a nutritious breakfast and even more so for your children as they head back to school this September. As we literally break the fast of 8 to 12 hours without eating, the body and brain need to refuel. A balanced breakfast not only kick-starts the metabolism, it sets us up for a more successful day. More than a quarter-century of research supports a positive link between breakfast and mental alertness and physical performance. Families count on cereal for convenient, affordable nutrition, too, making it a popular breakfast choice among parents. In fact, ready-to-eat cereal is the preferred breakfast in many countries and the choices keep getting better. The taste, nutrition, simplicity and affordability of

ÂŽ

Kellogg cereals (just 50 cents a serving for cereal and milk) explain why they are a mainstay in nearly 77 per cent of Canadian homes. What many parents may not know is that cereal is also an extremely nutritious choice. Cereal ranks as one of the best choices available as it is typically low fat and a nutrient dense food with many essential vitamins and minerals such as iron, B vitamins and zinc. Cereal also delivers the important beneďŹ ts of grains, including ďŹ bre. Add to that the fact that kids and adults who regularly eat cereal tend to have lower body mass indexes and are less likely to be overweight than those who eat cereal less frequently and parents can be conďŹ dent that are choosing a healthy breakfast option. More information about the nutritional beneďŹ ts of choosing cereal is available online at www.loveyourcereal.ca.

How to outfit the new dorm room From vacation to homework (NC)̶Outﬁtting a new dorm room can be an expensive and overwhelming experience for both students and parents. Make things easy and affordable by using The Home Depot Canada's backto-school essentials checklist.

The Martha Stewart Living Collection. And consider keeping bulky clothing in a Rubbermaid storage unit that ﬁts perfectly under the bed.

STUDY SPACE:

SNACK SIZED: A compact fridge and microwave make dorm living almost like home. A fridge offers enough room for favourite drinks and small items like yogurt or cheese, and a microwave can be used to heat up everything from cafeteria leftovers to popcorn. Just make sure to check with your college or university to ensure these small appliances are allowed in rooms. Storage solutions: There is no denying that dorms are small (and often shared with a roommate and even more stuff!). Make the most of a tight space and keep clutter to a minimum by incorporating some simple storage items. Keep socks, clothes, toiletries and cleaning supplies out of sight with stylish fabric drawers from

A place to sit: For larger dorm rooms, consider purchasing an accent chair. A comfy club chair is perfect for curling up with a good book, while a classic parson's chair is ideal for company. Be sure to choose something that can be easily moved̶year two will come quickly!

ACCESSORIZE: Don't forget the essentials, including a waste paper basket, clothing hangers and a mirror. Have some fun by choosing colourful options that personalize the space. Make it your own on your own! To make late night papers and exam cramming a breeze̶outﬁt the room with a desk, bookcase and comfortable chair. Depending on what's provided by the college or university, a traditional computer desk, or alternatively, a simple working table might be necessary. A desk chair should be comfortable and adjustable, and if really tight on space, consider a slim vertical book shelf to hold textbooks.

Summer is not yet over and it s back-to-school already. It isn t always much fun, especially when the sun and warm weather are still with us for another few weeks. And what about homework! While the kids can hold back during the day, as soon as they get home they are anxious to ride their bikes and enjoy the last few nice warm evenings before retiring to the indoors for fall and winter. To help your kids make the transition more easily from vacation to homework, let them enjoy their summer activities for as long as possible. Even if school has started and they have less time for swimming, don t close the

COOL TIMES IN THE SUMMER SUN The Martensville Aquatic Centre was a popular place last week as hundreds of residents of the area took advantage of the hot temperatures to soak up some rays and take a dip in the pool. The Martensville Aquatic Centre completed its second year of operation on a successful note. The centre stayed open till the end of August before winding up its operations, attracting residents from the City of Saskatoon, where neighbourhood outdoor pools closed a week earlier.

OSLER DRAINAGE Continued from Page 7 ditch and replacing the culverts to accommodate increased water flow will benefit not only the town, but also landowners in the RM of Corman Park who experience flooding. He said the culverts are likely to be at least 36 inches in diameter, compared to the current 18 inches. Some may have to be larger to accommodate peak flows. Laroche said the gradient and depth of the cut for the ditch, as well as the backslopes, will be contained in the engineering study to be done this fall prior to the work getting underway. The project requires the approval of the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority, which is likely to be forthcoming once all affected landowners and the RM of Corman Park endorse the proposal. There will be an operating permit and a maintenance agreement required between the RM and the town, noted Laroche. The watershed authority has been very receptive to the idea. While the current plan focuses on a relatively narrow strip of land on either side of Blumenheim Road, the scope of the engineering study may have to be broadened to include a larger area, noted Buhler in an interview after the meeting. We heard at this meeting that there is a lot of increased water flow from land to the north of Blumenheim Road, and if this project is going to be effective, it needs to take that into account, Buhler stated. Buhler said the actual cost of the project won t be known until the engineering details are completed. He is hopeful there will be some provincial funding to supplement the money that will be coming from the Town of Osler, the RM of Corman Park, and ratepayers. We haven t worked out a cost-sharing agreement yet, he said. Buhler said the best time to begin work on the project is after harvest, when there will be less disruption to fields that have been seeded to crops. We hope to get started in the late fall and continue working over the winter, so that next spring, we ll have a good start on it, he said. I don t know how much we can get done, but we ll be working within our existing budget. We have some money set aside already, but we may also have to borrow from next year s budget.

TREVOR LINDEN Continued from Page 8 After a game now, the Canucks have a fully-catered meal in their 1,000 square-foot players lounge, complete with protein supplements and electrolyte replacements. Back in 1988, we used to just roll out a cart of Molson Canadians, said Linden. MEMORABLE PLAYERS Linden said he recalls playing with Pavel Bure and his sidekick, Gino Odjick. They were nicknamed Beauty and the Beast, said Linden. Gino took care of Pavel, and he was one tough customer. In January 1991, when the Gulf War was underway to attack Saddam Hussein, one fan brought this enormous sign to the game that read: Even Saddam couldn t take Gino . Gino leaned over to me and said: Trevor, what number does that Saddam guy wear anyway? Linden said he recalls playing with Igor Larianov, and Vladimir Krutov, who were two of the biggest stars of the old Soviet Red Army team. Igor looked like a professor, and he had very good English, he said. On the other hand, Vladimir Krutov preferred to communicate in grunts, and his only interests were beer, cigarettes and junk food. Larianov was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008. Krutov didn t even last a year in Vancouver.

villain whose sole purpose in life is to sabotage Sugar Lee s every endeavour.; Bobby Dwayne Dillahunt (Bob Brophy), a loveable loser who happens to be Sugar Lee s old high school ﬂame; and Porter Padget (Rick Cranston), a mama s boy who starts dating Carlene because of the thrill he gets every time he cheats death when he survives another date. Each of the actors have several moments in the play where they shine, but Debbie Larsen s portrayal of the simpleminded but brutally honest Crystal is truly hilarious. Her Statue of Liberty and Uncle Sam costumes defy description. The play has a lot of memorable lines like: Marriage is like a three-ring circus. First comes the engagement ring, then comes the wedding ring, then comes the suffer-ring. It also has enough twists to the plot that keep it from getting bogged down even as it takes the audience through familiar territory. The lighting, sound, stage setting, and direction by Vickie Dyck are professional, and it s easy to forget that the polished actors on stage are all people who do this sort of thing as a hobby, not as a living. It s community theatre at its best, especially if you go early to take advantage of the whole Barn Playhouse experience: the country cooking, down-home live music, warm hospitality and beautiful prairie skies.

TAURUS Family matters make for a trying but satisfying week, Taurus. Creative solutions will emerge, compromises will be made and peace will reign once again.

BORDEN & AREA NEWS Continued from Page 18

Jan(getting the last word in) told of her adventures on some of her trips to and from Rosthern, she had wanted to be a priest for many years and this Parish had allowed her to fulﬁll her dream and blessed her richly. The ﬁrst person that dropped in and invited her out to eat was Nora Borgeson of the United Church, who lived in Maymont at the time. She closed with God Bless you today and for many years to come. Rt. Rev. David Irving, the Bishop of the Saskatoon Diocese, who lives in Borden, thanked Jan for all her work in the Parish on behalf of the Diocese and it must have been hard working at two jobs half time each, which probably did not always give her too much time with her family. She will be missed in the Parish and more so in Borden where they lived. Bishop Irving closed with a prayer for Jan and her continuing work in her new church at St. Stephens in Saskatoon and may the Lord be with them in this time of transition. Everyone then enjoyed lunch and beverages.

GIVING THE GIFT OF LIFE Mary Hildebrandt (left) began donating blood when she was 17 years old. The 70-year old Warman resident received a special lapel pin to honour her for donating blood 125 times. She made her 125th donation at a Canadian Blood Services (CBS) clinic at the Brian King Centre in Warman on Wednesday, August 23. (Above) Norma Wall gives the gift of life with the help of CBS Clinic Assistant Cathy Hansen. The clinic attracted 79 donors, and collected a total of 70 units of blood.
