There was plenty of mud flying in Dundurn as the local Lions Club celebrated their annual mud racing event’s 20th anniversary. The official title of the event is ‘20 Years of Mud.’ It started as a get-together for people to have fun with trucks, said organizer Gary Grady. ”In the beginning there were about only 40 spectators watching this event. Yesterday we had 700 people here,” said Grady. “A lot if the racers come from northern Saskatchewan and Edmonton. In previous years we have had people come from the United States, but this year most are local.” There were about 50 stock vehicles of all shapes and sizes racing down a 220-foot track with 12 to 14 inches of mud, making it a fun spectacle to see for truck enthusiasts of all ages, said Grady. “We don’t run a sanctioned race. We have done what you would call an outlaw race because they have a determined

About 700 spectators came out to watch 50 participants compete for the best time during the 20 Years of Mud racing event in Dundurn on September 13 and 14 pay scale for the vehicles. We kind of mix it up a bit, we pay for appearances. We add the tough trucks to it, the lawn mowers and then at the end a burn out contest,” said Grady.
Grady said he didn’t know when this event started that it would be so successful. ”We always talked about the success of it and never thought it would get this far. I used to
race in it. Now I help organize it,” said Grady.
Housing Jewelry store robbery foiled by bystanders starts continue to increase By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A brazen daylight robbery attempt at a jewelry store in Saskatoon’s Lawson Heights Mall was foiled by two bystanders who nabbed the would-be thief and wrestled him to the ground. Rob Reddekopp of Warman witnessed the takedown, which occurred around noon on Tuesday, September 9. He said the suspect was dressed in a high-visibility safety vest, hard hat and sunglasses and wielded a small wrecking bar. The thief tried to smash the glass display case with the metal bar but was unsuccessful. Two bystanders witnessed the attempted robbery and, with the help of security officers, overpowered the thief and held him on the ground while calling the police. Saskatoon Police officers arrived on the scene a few minutes later and took the suspect into custody. No one was injured in the incident and nothing was stolen. “It was not what you’d expect to see in the middle of the day in a crowded mall,” said Reddekopp in an interview. A 26-year-old male is facing charges of Theft Over $5,000 and Mischief Under $5,000. No one was injured during the incident.

Housing starts in the Saskatoon Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at 3,535 units in August compared to 3,090 in July, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). “The trend in total housing starts moved higher in August after local home builders increased production of both single-detached and multi-family units. A higher absorption rate at completion and declining inventory of complete and unabsorbed units have supported the rise in housing starts this year,” said Goodson Mwale, CMHC’s Senior Market Analyst for Saskatchewan. The standalone monthly SAAR was 4,961 units in August, up from 2,478 in July. While actual housing starts increased in both the single-detached and multi-family sectors, the gain in August was most pronounced among multiples where 182 apartments were started compared to 71 in August 2013.
Five years may wipe out many things But this they’ll wipe out never. The memory of those happy days When we were all together. We think of Dallas in silence, His name we often recall But there’s nothing left to answer But his picture on the wall. Just when his life was brightest, Just when his hopes were best, God called him from amoung us To a home of eternal life. With love in our hearts forever, Mom, Dad and Morgan.

Construction crews begin work on a passing lane near Harris on Highway 7. It will be one of 16 passing lanes built along the route.
Passing lanes to be built on Highway 7 west of Delisle By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Government of Saskatchewan, in partnership with the federal government, is aiming to make a west-central highway safer. On September 11, MP for Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar Kelly Block – along with Martensville MLA and Minister of Highways and Infrastructure Nancy Heppner – met in Delisle to announce a $7.6 million dollar project to build passing lanes on Highway 7 southwest of Saskatoon. “We set aside $3.8 million in funding for this project, which the province will match and that is part of a much bigger envelope under the Provincial Territorial Infrastructure Fund (PTIF),” said Block, adding that PTIF funding amounts to $10 billion over 10 years and $1 billion of that amount is reserved for the Small Communities Fund. The entire project includes 16 passing lanes between Zealandia and Laura. Heppner said traveling on Highway 7 will be a whole lot safer for residents who live along the route and for those who commute to and from Saskatoon. “I think anyone who has driven this highway understands that it is not just the traffic on the road that makes it difficult to pass, it is the sight lines. There are a lot of trees, curves and it is a bit
hilly,” said Heppner. “It does make it really difficult to pass. I have driven this highway a lot. You see people taking chances that are not necessarily the safest. This will allow people to make safer choices and have safer options.” Block said another benefit of the project highlights the importance of Highway 7 to both Saskatchewan and Alberta. “[Highway 7] is the main corridor from Saskatoon through to Calgary. This project is going to be a huge benefit in terms of economic growth for both provinces.” Heppner said Highway 7 sees about 3,000 vehicles a day with heavy trucks making up 25 per cent of that number. Dave Anderchek, mayor of Delisle, said the announcement will be very good for the community. “The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is showing progress on the highway so we know they are trying to make improvements. We know there are budgets involved but putting in passing lanes from here to Rosetown is a good start.” Anderchek said he is hoping the ministry will continue its positive attitude with twinning the highway from Saskatoon to Delisle, which was an announcement the Government of Saskatchewan made in last year’s budget. The MOHI is hoping to have two of the passing lanes completed before the end of this construction season.

UFCW Local 1400 Shop Steward Greg Beal (third from right) and other workers at the Richardson International oat mill north of Martensville on Highway 12 formed an informational picket line on Monday, September 15. The workers were locked out on Wednesday, September 10.
Workers locked out at oat mill tract negotiations.” Company managers are currently keeping the mill operating. Tracy Shelton, Director of Corporate Communications for Richardson International, said in a statement to reporters last week that the company provided a final offer that gave employees the same terms and coditions they have now, along with wage increases, based on performance, above market level. The mill was purchased by Richardson Milling from Viterra last May. The workers’ contract with the former owner expired October 31, 2013, and they have been without a collective bargaining agreement since then. The union and employer have been in negotiations for the past eight months, according to Norm Neault, President of UFCW Canada Local 1400. “The union has been attempting to reach industrystandard wages, and a fair

Workers at the Richardson International-owned oat milling facility north of Martensville are still locked out a week after rejecting the company’s final offer. The 34 workers at the oat mill, members of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Canada Local 1400, were locked out Wednesday evening, September 10. They have been manning an information picket line at the entrance to the mill since then. “We’ve been locked out since last Wednesday at 7 p.m.,” said Greg Beal, a worker at the mill who serves as shop steward for the union local and is also a member of the union’s bargaining committee. “We want to go back to work, but the company won’t let us. They haven’t even attempted to contact us to talk about continuing con-

pay scale based on experience,” said Neault. “The contract payment scheme under Viterra hasn’t worked well for these employees. They were locked out under Viterra, and they made a conscious decision to try that system, but it hasn’t worked out very well for the majority of employees, so they’re looking to go back to a more traditional form of compensation so they know what hourly wage they are making and what they can expect for an increase.” Neault said the union tabled a counter-proposal to the employer’s final offer last week, but has not received a response. The union is asking for across-the board wage increases, while the company wants to base pay increases on performance. In an interview on Monday, September 15 at the entrance to the mill, where union members have set up an in-
formational picket line, Beal said the workers are also seeking “clarification” and “certainty” in wage grids. “Right now there’s a lot of uncertainty about how much we’re actually getting paid,” said Beal. “We don’t know where we lie for the year and for the coming year. Certainty and clarification would be a big help.” Beal said truckers hauling loads to the mill are not being hampered from doing so. “We talk to them and explain the reason we’re here,” Beal said. “We’re not preventing anyone from delivering. We ask them to deliver somewhere else if they can, but it’s their choice. For us, we don’t have a choice. We’re here because the company locked us out. We’re not on strike.” Shelton said in her statement that the company is hopeful the dispute will be resolved, but was not able to provide a timeline for a return to negotiations.

Medical students learn more about rural Sask. practices
Mr. Erwin Benjestorf (left) from the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans (ANAVETS) in Canada, with Cadet Emmanuel Odeshi (centre) and Rear Admiral Jennifer Bennett after presenting Odeshi with the ANAVETS Cadet Medal of Merit. The presentation was made during the Cold Lake Air Cadet Summer Training Centre’s (CLACSTC) final graduation parade, held on the 4 Wing Cold Lake Flight Line on August 15.
Cadet earns ANAVETS Medal of Merit Air Cadet Emmanuel Odeshi of Saskatoon was recently awarded a very prestigious award while attending a six week Fitness and Sports Instructor Course at the military base in Cold Lake, Alberta. Emmanuel is a Flight Sergeant with the 702 Air Cadets of Saskatoon and has been a member of the squadron for 5 years. While at camp he was awarded the ANAVETS Cadet Medal of Merit, which is an award that recognizes excellence achieved by cadets during their summer training, and
is awarded to the top cadet on each Fitness and Sports Instructor Course for outstanding achievement in leadership, physical fitness, dress and deportment. FSGT Odeshi’s medal was one of only a handful of medals awarded nationwide to cadets who attended the Army, Navy, or Air Forces Cadet Summer Training Centres across Canada. It is presented by the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada (ANAVETS), a national association celebrating 169 years of existence, and is Canada’s oldest veteran’s as-
sociation. As part of the course, FSgt Odeshi developed the skills of the subject matter knowledge required to perform the role of a fitness and sports instructor and a team leader for fitness and sports activities conducted at the local squadron, during regionally directed activities and/or as a staff cadet at a summer training centre. He learned theoretical and technical skills required to deliver the squadron physical education and recreational training program.
katchewan-trained medical students here in the province to practise after they graduate,” Minister Responsible for Rural and Remote Health Tim McMillan said. “We want these bright young minds to stay, contribute to our growing province and help us build an exceptional, patientfirst health care system.” PREP is a program jointly delivered by saskdocs, the Saskatchewan Medical Association (SMA) and the U of S College of Medicine. Physicians, Saskatchewan’s health regions and numerous other partners are all integral to the success of the program as well. “Recruiting and retaining our U of S Medical Graduates is our number one priority,” said saskdocs’ I/CEO Erin Brady. “PREP is designed specifically for U of S medical students to gain exposure to rural and remote communities and practice in the province. An informal survey conducted by saskdocs of past PREP participants indicated that close to
Saskatchewan medical students are taking advantage of opportunities to learn more about practising in rural Saskatchewan. A total of 40 University of Saskatchewan (U of S) medical students participated in saskdocs’ Rural Externship Program (PREP) to experience medicine in rural and remote communities this past summer. This is the highest participation rate for the program since saskdocs was established in 2011. The students are all now beginning their third year of study. They shadowed practicing physicians in 24 communities to gain valuable experience that will help them make future decisions about where to work and what type of medicine to practice. Evidence shows that the earlier a medical student is exposed to a community, the more likely it is that individual will return to practice in the same location after graduation. “Our government is fully committed to keeping Sas-
90 per cent of them would consider practicing in the communities in which they were placed.” “The SMA is pleased to support and participate in PREP and build on the work of the SMA’s Roadmap Program for Students and Residents,” said Dr. Dalibor Slavik, President of the SMA. “We know that early and continued exposure to rural practice will lead to more graduates establishing themselves in a rural community. The Roadmap Program and PREP will lay the foundation for better care for rural patients in the years to come.” PREP is funded by the Ministry of Health through the Saskatchewan Medical Association’s Committee on Rural and Regional Practice. Medical learners not only benefit from the program, so do the communities, clinics and physicians as they get a chance to showcase their region, community and practice to up and coming physicians. A total of 114 U of S medical students have participated in PREP since 2011.

Catholic schools testing for asbestos By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools (GSCS) awarded R.S. Management Services a contract to test and identify all asbestos containing materials in division schools. The recommendation was made at a GSCS Meeting on September 8 after a request for proposals was sent out on July 3. The close date for the RFP was July 22.
GSCS Superintendent Joel Lloyd said the testing will help the division pinpoint any materials containing asbestos. “We are preparing a final report that will be sent to the asbestos registry with the province,” said Lloyd. “Then once the report is completed they will rate the schools which may be at high risk.” Lloyd said right now there haven’t been any schools that have been identified as high risk or contain items that are

in direct contact with children. The request for identifying asbestos in schools came after legislation was passed by the Government of Saskatchewan to create the asbestos registry last year. Lloyd said he couldn’t disclose the amount for the contact, but said it will be paid 100 per cent by the GSCD. The completion date of the contract is anticipated to be December 31.

Taxpayers tell Harper to lower, simplify taxes
SaskPower and its sorry smart meter saga By the standards of costly Crown corporation screw-ups, the Saskatchewan Party will argue that the smart meter fiasco isn’t the biggest.
By Gregory Thomas Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation
COMMENTARY
With MPs returning to Ottawa for the final round of Parliamentary business before the 2015 federal election, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released results of a supporter survey completed over the three days that shows broad support for paying down debt and providing lower, simpler personal income taxes. More than 5,000 CTF supporters responded to the survey, with 2,500 providing additional written advice to the federal finance minister. With the federal budget headed for a surplus ahead of the next election, paying down the federal debt was the top priority of 52 per cent of CTF supporters, while 44 per cent want to reduce taxes. Given an either/or choice between acrossthe-board tax cuts for everybody and income-splitting, CTF supporters chose lower rates and fewer brackets by a wide margin – 72 per cent in favour, compared to 22 per cent who want income splitting. Only 14 per cent, of CTF supporters said they would personally benefit from the government’s current income splitting proposal. Despite only 9 per cent of CTF supporters picking the government’s income splitting proposal as their top choice for a tax cut, 52 per cent said they would support the Harper government if it goes ahead with the plan in the next budget, while 21 per cent would oppose it and 22 per cent are still on the fence. CTF supporters’ willingness to get behind income splitting reflects a pragmatic interest in lower taxes. When asked for the best way to cut taxes if the government targets only families with children, 27 per cent said stay-at-home parents should be able to claim the child care deduction currently available only to parents who pay outside providers for child care, while 26 per cent favoured income splitting. 17 per cent want to see the child tax credit raised.
MURRAY MANDRYK
Provincial Politics
Government supporters will be quick to point out that the NDP/Sask Water Spudco fiasco that cost taxpayers some $38 million with nothing to show for a return was far more costly. And they will be even more adamant now that SaskPower has reached an arrangement with Sensus; the American manufacturer of the defective smart meters; on compensation. In fact, both SaskPower and the Sask. Party are already spinning the notion that the deal reached recovers the entire $47-million cost. Their math is questionable. Under the agreement reached with Sensus, SaskPower gets a $24-million cash refund for the meters already installed or bought. Our Crown electrical utility also gets an $18-million credit that will go toward any future purchase of Sensus meters and $5 million in research and development of a new “next generation meter”. That may add up to the recall cost, but it all hinges on doing more business with Sensus and doesn’t include the $30-million cost to install and uninstall after 10 of the units caught on fire. And then there is the legitimate question as to why any compensation agreement should have had to have been negotiated at all. Shouldn’t most of this have been built
right into the purchase agreement contract with Sensus? It sure was in other agreements Sensus signed with utilities much, much smaller. For example, the tiny Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB); a community-owned utility serving 86,000 homes in Eugene, Oregon; seemed to do a far better job of its homework before getting into its smart meter contract with Sensus. In a 2013 memo to its customers/shareholders publicly released and available on the internet, EWEB outlines how it awarded the smart meter contract to Sensus over 13 other applicants even though it had misgivings that “Sensus has not been in the electric meter manufacturing business as long as other proposers, and appears to be encountering growing pains associated with being new to this market.” But according to the public memo, the $26-million contract
with EWEB has a $2.3-million “hold-back” provision “to be paid only when the system is fully installed, an “off-ramp” that is “in direct response to various challenges incurred by other utilities”, “milestone payments” to insure meters are working correctly and a “predefined Final Acceptance Criteria (FAC)” in the case of “unusually high rates of equipment failure” that would states “Sensus will repair, at their expense, any issues that arise that would cause the system to perform at less than the FAC criteria.” How a tiny local utility seemed to get all this in writing beforehand when SaskPower appears to have had to negotiate a settlement is an interesting question. But a better question is how we can find out more about Sensus’s contract in Eugene, Oregon than we can about SaskPower’s own deal with Sensus here at home. After months of asking for details on the decision-making
process on the Sensus contract and getting no real answers, the Regina Leader-Post applied through the province’s Freedom of Information legislation for documents pertaining to SaskPower’s negotiations with Sensus and the installers who put in the smart meters. The newspaper was told it would cost $57.000 for that information. This from a public utility we own that claims it has “offered as much information as is possible.” Of course, the Sask. Party can rightly argue that SaskPower was equally mum during the NDP years about the Channel Lake fiasco and its attempt to buy the Guyana Electrical Company during the NDP days. This is true. But Sask. Party supporters might also recall that heads rolled at both SaskPower and SaskWater for those past messes. And they should also remember that we own SaskPower and it’s accountable to us.
Youth Criminal Justice Act does nothing to protect victims of violent crime The act of naming or photographing a youth involved in a violent crime is a debate that has been discussed

since the Youth Criminal Justice Act (and before that the Young Offenders Act and before that the Juvenile Delinquents Act) was created many years ago. In this debate there are two theories: one suggests that young offenders should be

named because public humiliation would be a deterrent to stop youth from becoming repeat offenders. The other theory maintains that if a young offender’s identity is publicized, the stigma associated with the crime will ruin future employment opportunities for the youth, which would lead them to recommit the crime. Last week a 13-year-old Warman boy was sentenced for stabbing a female classmate last fall. The boy was originally charged with attempted murder but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated assault in May. As a result of his serious
assault, he will serve a twoyear sentence, which involves spending eight months in a youth facility, followed by eight months of open custody and another eight months of community supervision. Did the punishment fit the crime? If you were to ask the victim I am sure the answer would be ‘no.’ The emotional trauma of being stabbed multiple times and having a finger almost completely severed are mental wounds that won’t heal anytime soon. The media has a duty to report on crime and answer the ‘who,’ ‘what,’ ‘when,’ and ‘why’ questions when a violent in-

cident occurs because it is in the public’s interest. More importantly, newspapers for years have worked with RCMP and local police to help catch individuals or alert the public about a dangerous offender. But under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, we can’t do that, which kind of makes it seem like the Canadian justice system is playing Russian roulette with public safety. We hope there are group homes, community or mental health groups that can help reform young adults who commit violent crimes. It is true young people need a great support network made up of

friends and family to direct them down the right path. What happens to youth who don’t have that positive network? Will their culture of defeat be used as an excuse for their crime? According to a Public Safety Canada report, boys are 30 per cent more likely than girls to engage in violent behavour. The report also notes Saskatchewan has the third highest rate of youth assaults in Canada behind Nunavut and the North West Territories. In a small city like Warman most people know who this boy is, his friends, classmates and people in the community. You would think the stigma
of living in a small community would deter him from committing that horrific assault again. If it does it raises an interesting point about publicizing a young offender’s crime, being that humiliation works. I mean if someone goes out of their way to violently assault someone, they have given up their right to live in civilized society. Maybe the publicity would play a part in protecting the public so it doesn’t happen again. It seems that when it comes to this act there is more emphasis on protecting the offender rather than the victim.

Martensville Library launches fall programs Submitted by
MARLA SKOMAR
Head Librarian, Martensville Library
Summer was a busy time at the Martensville Library with the TD Summer Reading Club for kids. The Martensville Library had another successful program with 320 registered.The kids were kept busy making weekly crafts, completing weekly challenges, playing I-Spy and Bingo and reading. Through the summer, kids registered in the program read 4,117 books and completed 956 hours of reading. It was great to have so many kids participate and be excited about reading and visiting the library. As the weather turns, so does the programming focus of the Martensville Library. Starting this fall, we are excited to have a dedicated program room for our library which will make it easier to host programs/events. We are always on the lookout for program ideas and encourage our patrons to let us know
their ideas on programs they would like to see at the branch. Our Story Time program resumes the week of September 22. This fall, our branch will be holding Story Time two times per week – Monday and Thursday at 10:15 a.m. It will be the same program on both days, and we ask that people only attend one time per week. We have decided to try the two days in order to accommodate the number of children wishing to attend the program. It is a drop-in program for preschool aged children and parent/caregiver participation is required. Kids will enjoy stories, songs and craft in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Our Library Book Club continues to meet on the third or last Wednesday of the month. Members take turns hosting and choosing what books the club will read. If anyone is interested in join, please contact us at the library and we will put you in touch with our coordinator.

Firefighters pay tribute to fallen colleagues By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Every September 11 for the past 13 years, firefighters in Martensville and Warman have raised the Stars and Stripes at sunrise, and lowered it at sunset, in solemn tribute to the men and women who lost their lives protecting others during the terrorist attacks that shook the world in 2001. “We started this tribute the first year after the 2001 attacks, and we’ve done it every year since,” said Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin in an interview at the city’s fire hall at sunrise on September 11. “That day was a real catalyst for people to remember those who fell in the line of duty. The firefighters, police officers, EMS and first responders; the sheer number of people who gave their lives in the line of duty; made us think about that, and we’ve done this memorial tribute ever since.” Austin served for many years as Deputy Fire Chief in Martensville before moving to his new position in Warman. His colleagues in Martensville continue the tradition. “We do the flag-raising and lowering as a way of honouring firefighters and protective service members who lost their lives on that terrible, sad day,” said Martensville Deputy Fire Chief Dean Brooman in an interview. “We want to show that their sacrifice is not in vain and that we will continue to respect them and what they did.” Austin said about 2,000 fire, police and EMS services hold similar memorial services every September 11 across North America. None of these memorial services are officially sanctioned by any government. “It’s simply a show of support for our brothers and sisters in protective services organizations everywhere,” said Austin.

Warman Fire and Rescue celebrates half century of service to community By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
A sellout crowd packed the Brian King Centre in Warman on Saturday, September 13 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Warman Fire Department. Now known as Warman Fire and Rescue, the department grew from humble roots. Warman Deputy Fire Chief Russ Austin told the crowd that in 1964, a notice was sent out to Warman residents by town clerk P.B. Janzen advising that a six-member volunteer fire brigade had been established. At that time, the membership consisted of: Fire Chief Jacob P. Dyck, Deputy Chief Elmer Boehr, Firefighters John Friesen, Bill Reddekopp, Abe Wall and Chester Grabowski. The note to residents listed the individual phone numbers of the members. The fire department grew as the community expanded over the years, and training and equipment has also improved, said Austin. “Today, we have a fully-trained fire and rescue service that consists of 29 firefighters certified to professional standards, with the majority also trained as First Responders for medical emergencies,” said Austin. “We respond to approximately 300 calls per year.” Warman Mayor Sheryl Spence said fifty years was a memorable milestone. Noting that firefighters devote “countless hours” to training in order to serve their community and protect the lives and property of residents of Warman as well as surround-

The commitment and dedication of several members was recognized at the event. Five-year service awards were given to Battalion Chief Kevin Schwartz, Lieutenant Bob Fenner, Firefighters Jason Coutts, Wes Hrapchak and Sean McCallen. Firefighters Brian Revest and Albert Taylor were presented with awards for 25 years service. Fire Chief Gord Thompson was honoured for his 35 years with the department, and a special award was given to retired firefighter Bill Braun for having served 43 years.

Photo radar planned for Highway 12 at Martensville As part of the government’s ongoing commitment to traffic safety in high-risk traffic areas, two new locations have been added to the photo speed enforcement pilot project. Highway 12 at Martensville and Highway 1 East between Pilot Butte and White City will both receive photo speed enforcement units. “Reducing fatalities and injuries on Saskatchewan roads and highways is a top priority,” Minister responsible for SGI Don McMorris said. “There has been significant growth in the communities of Martensville, White City and Emerald Park in recent years, leading to increased traffic volumes and risk of col-
lisions, which is why we added these locations to the pilot. Introducing photo speed enforcement builds on our earlier action of lowering the speed limit to 90 km/hr on these stretches to help calm traffic and make them safer. By slowing down, you have a better chance of surviving a crash.” The goal is for zero tickets to be issued and for zero collisions to occur in these locations. However, any revenue generated through photo speed enforcement will be designated for traffic safety initiatives, after covering costs of the cameras. “We would be thrilled to see zero tickets and zero revenue,
Youth sentenced for role in Warman stabbing A Warman youth who pleaded guilty to aggravated assault earlier this year will be facing 16 months in custody as part of a two-year sentence. The 14-year-old youth, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was sentenced in provincial court on Tuesday, September 9 to eight months in secure custody, eight months in open custody, and eight months of supervised release. The boy was originally charged with attempted murder for the stabbing of a 13-year-
old girl in Warman on September 13, 2013. The charge was downgraded to aggravated assault, and he was found guilty of the lesser charge. The girl was stabbed in the throat several times, as well as suffering lacerations to her thigh, stomach and one finger. Court was told that a psychological assessment found the boy to be a low risk to reoffend. The female victim of the assault has undergone numerous surgeries, and while she is healing physically, the psychological damage is very deep.
because that would mean no one is speeding through these high-risk corridors,” McMorris said. “Our goal is to prevent traffic deaths and injuries.” The previously-announced photo speed enforcement pilot project locations include: * Ring Road in Regina * Circle Drive in Saskatoon * intersection of Highway 1 and 9th Avenue in Moose Jaw * selected school zones in Re-
gina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw The pilot is expected to begin mid-October, in the absence of delays due to factors such as poor weather which could impact construction and installation. To ensure drivers are aware they are approaching a photo speed enforcement location, all locations will be clearly marked with signs, which will be erected this fall.
The 50th anniversary dine and dance celebration honoured firefighters, police, EMS and military personnel. A silent auction with sports memorabilia was a successful fundraiser. A “Pick of the litter” raffle draw allowed the winner to choose one of five autographed hockey jerseys:
including a Wayne Gretzky New York Rangers, a Gordie Howe Detroit Red Wings; Bobby Hull Chicago Black Hawks; Bobby Orr Boston Bruins and a Sidney Crosby Team Canada Olympic sweater. Dan McGillis won the draw and had no hesitation in choosing the Gordie Howe jersey.

Martensville’s Connor Chubey makes an open-field tackle on Delisle running back Sam Michnik
The Delisle Rebels put on a scoring clinic last Friday, September 12, defeating the Martensville Royals 35-21 in a high school football game under the lights in Delisle. It was the first game of the season for both teams, which is always a fun rivalry, said Rebels head coach Ken Byers. ”It is always a cat and mouse game of chess between us. Partly because of our friendship and the joking around after the game,” said Byers. Byers said playing a night game once a year is a great environment to bring the community and school together. The Rebels and Royals didn’t disappoint. In the opening frame Rebels’ quarterback James Shirley got his team on the board with a a touchdown run minutes into the game, but their field goal was blocked by the Royals, allowing for a 6-0 Rebels lead. The Royals scored a field goal on the next possession when the Rebels stingy defence wouldn’t allow them a run into the end zone. It wasn’t too long before Rebels’ running back Sam Michnik lit up the score board with a four yard major to give his team a 12-3 lead, but the Royals fought back with a run of their own to close the scoring gap to 12-10 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter tempers started to flare as the Rebels and Royals each had a player ejected from the game for a shoving melee. For most of the second quarter both teams showed their defensive muscle, which didn’t allow for many runs. But with less than four minutes to go in the quarter the Rebels’ Reid Dubkowski found a way to push his team to within a yard and a half away from the Royals goal line, which allowed Shirley and Michnik to connect on a wide run right to score a touchdown. The convert was also good, giving the Rebels a 19-11 lead. In the third quarter it was all Rebels as Shirley and Michnik connected for two touchdowns and a two-point convert to jump ahead with a commanding 35-11

The Approachable Professionals
lead over the Royals to close out the third quarter. In the fourth quarter the Royals showed that they were not going to go down without a fight, scoring a 40-yard field goal to make the score 35-14 and adding an end-to-end touchdown with 28 seconds left on the clock. But it wasn’t enough as the Rebels went on to win the game 35-21. Byers said it was a tough game to play for his team, mainly because Martensville coaches know his team so well. ”They know how our pre-snap formations look and know what play we are going to run,” said Byers. “So we had to make a lot of in-game adjustments that we wouldn’t normally make because they were so well prepared for the game and they are so well coached.” Martensville coach Lyle Evanisky said the Royals containment game is what cost them against the Rebels. ”We knew they were going to run the edge and we couldn’t stop them. There is not much you can do about that. You can do as best you can. That running back (Michnik) is a good athlete and I didn’t know their quarterback (Shirley) was that good either so they surprised some of our ends.” Evanisky said offence is something he is going to work on with his team before they take on Warman at home on Thursday, September 18. ”I think we’ve got a good system and we’ve got some guys in the right spots and I know we’ve got some talent there. But we have to do a better job of moving the ball up the field and give them an opportunity to score for us,” said Evanisky. Byers said he was impressed by his team, which only has one senior on its roster. ”We are a real young team. We had one starting grade 12. That was it. We are mainly a team of Grade 10s and 11s so the kids don’t really know their play book. They don’t really know what they are doing but it is a real good opportunity to learn, make a few mistakes and run off penalties.” The Rebels hit the road for their next game, and will try to make it 2-0 when they take on Kindersley Friday, September 19.

Clavet cruises to win over Tisdale in home opener By WAYNE SHIELS

Cougars quarterback Graham Beresh gets off a pass despite pressure from a Tisdale defender
The reigning provincial silver medalists in 9-man football served notice they still have some unfinished business. With their eye on a gold medal this year, the Clavet Cougars defeated the Tisdale Tornados 50-20 in Clavet on Thursday, September 11. Clavet coach Shaun Priel was pleased with his team’s performance. “They played very solid,” said Priel. “We’ve got a lot of kids who really stepped up and played to their potential. They played with a lot of confidence. You could see right from the opening kickoff the experience they got last year in getting to the finals really carried over to the start of this year.” The game was never in doubt as the defence forced Tisdale to turn over the ball on downs the first drive of the game. The Cougar offence then went to work, moving the ball crisply downfield before Bailey Royer scored on a 1-yard run. On their next possession a long pass from quarterback Graham Beresh to receiver Aaron Gosselin put the ball in the end zone. The Cougars scored their second TD when Beresh crossed the line on a short run. Royer and Beresh would each score rushing majors in the second quarter to give Clavet a
28-0 half-time lead. Tisdale got on the board early in the second half with a TD reception by Tanner Kirkland. But the Tornados blew their comeback hopes when a fumble recovery by Dallan Norrish set up the Cougars deep in Tisdale’s end. Clavet’s Ian Shimla scored on a 15 yard pass and run play. Zach Dickson followed
that up for the home team with a highlight reel touchdown catch. With many of the starters on the bench it was time for the younger players to shine. Ethan Parker ran for a 47 yard TD and followed that by running the ball in for the convert. Tisdale was able to score two TDs in the fourth quarter to
make the final score 50-20. “Getting the game experience will benefit the young players and the team later on,” said Priel. Next week’s game in Melfort will be a real test as to where his squad stands as they face the Comets. The Cougars’ next home game is against Nipawin on Thursday, September 25.

Wolverines win season opener By TERRY PUGH

Damien Delnea of the Warman Wolverines breaks through a line of JP II defenders on his way to scoring one of five touchdowns on the game
The Warman Wolverines eased their way into the new season with a decisive 48-20 win over the visiting John Paul II Crusaders last Friday at Neufeld Field. Damien Delnea led the way for the home team, accounting for five touchdowns. Tyler Hume added a pair of majors and Jayson Lindo also rushed for one. Lindo connected on several converts to round out the scoring. Delnea opened up the firsthalf onslaught with a 14-yard touchdown run on the Wolverines first drive of the game, and added another major on a 36yard run during Warman’s second possession. The Grade 11 student made the switch to running back after playing receiver last season. So far it’s paid off. “I like it better,” said Delnea after the game. “I try to follow the blocks for the first bit, and then after that it’s mostly reflexes and looking for holes. I’m a lot better at running than I am at catching, so I’m glad the coach let me switch.” Wolverines quarterback Josh Misskey said the intensive practices leading up to the first game helped get everyone on the same page. “It was a good all-round game,” said Misskey. “We ran the ball well and we had some good blocks. Plus our defense was on their game as well. We just did what we’ve been doing in practice for the last three
Locker room taking sub-par performance in stride One of the beautiful things about football is, with only playing one game per week, the anticipation building up to each game can be spine-tingling. And then, once the battle is over, we can spend the next several days breaking down what happened on the gridiron before turning our attention to the next challenge. In this case, the build-up to Tino Sunseri’s first pro start at quarterback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday in Hamilton was all of that. While some had written off the Riders’ chances due to the elbow injury to starter Darian Durant, just as many were content to wait and see what Sunseri would bring against the Ticats before rushing to judgment. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst offensive showings of the season as the Riders were trounced 28-3 and saw their seven-game losing streak come to a halt. Sunseri was sacked five times while only throwing for 88 yards and was intercepted once. Tino’s counterpart and long-time nemesis we’re told – Ticats quarterback Zach Collaros – had a sterling day throwing for 287 yards, two touchdowns, and was the team’s leading rusher. In the immediate aftermath of the loss, things were quiet. Still no one with the team was willing to write off the season after just one game, but everyone stopped to take a good, long look in the mirror. While Sunseri wasn’t the second coming of Joe Montana, this loss was hardly hung on him. We mentioned the pass protection issues, but the defense allowed the Ticats to roll up over 400 yards offense and the punt cover team allowed another return touchdown. All in all, as one CFL alum-
RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN
Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network
nus wrote me after the game, “it was a bad day at the office.” Can this be forgiven? I think so. The Riders hadn’t lost in two months! That fact isn’t lost on Rider head coach Corey Chamblin. “When you’ve been winning so long, eventually you have to come down,” Chamblin told reporters after theame. “It’s part of football. There have been lots of games we won but we could have lost. This one, there was a chance when we were down by just 10 points (at the end of the half), but we lost. It’s not stunning. It’s a part of football.” With the loss the Riders dropped to 8-3 and into a second-place tie with Edmonton in the CFL West. Meanwhile, Hamilton moved into a threeway tie for first in the East at 3-7. Weird, but the Ticats finally looked like the team that went to the Grey Cup last year. And so the Rider winning streak is over and now they hope to jumpstart another one when the Ottawa RedBlacks come to town on Sunday for a 2:00 p.m. kickoff. If this team’s going to challenge for first-place, a home playoff game, or heck, even a playoff spot, it appears it’s going to be up to Tino Sunseri to get them there for the foreseeable future. He’ll have to improve on what he showed at Tim Hortons Field. “It was the first game for Tino,” Chamblin shrugged. “There were some jitters. I
don’t think Darian was perfect in his first game. That’s just the way it goes.” As a matter of fact Durant was 22/32 for 339 yards and two touchdowns in a 33-28 win at Hamilton in 2008 in his first pro start. But that’s apples and oranges, really. In the final analysis, I think Sunseri will be just
fine but everyone around him will need to elevate their game from the flat showing in Steeltown. Sunseri will also have to ignite the spark that Durant usually does because the Riders looked lifeless in Week 12. It wasn’t the Roughrider team we’ve come to know. “I always put as much pressure on myself as I possibly can,” Sunseri said after Sunday’s game. “I hold myself to a very, very, very high standard. Obviously I expect to play lights-out and lead our team to victory and when that doesn’t happen, it’s not up to my standard.” This is far from over.
weeks, and sticking to the game plan.” Wolverines coach Tyler Scheidt was happy with the effort his team put in on all fronts, but noted they will face much tougher challenges down the road. “Our kids have worked hard to get ready to play and they executed pretty well,” said Scheidt. “Our O-line gave lots of protection to our quarterback, and our running back played fantastic. Damien hit some holes and ran with speed. “But it’s tough to judge because even though they looked good today, we were up against a very young, inexperienced team. I look forward to next week when we get tested a lot
Maddogs drop one to Vikings The Martensville Maddogs Bantam football team dropped a 3012 decision to the North Battleford Junior Vikings on Sunday, September 14 in North Battleford. The loss evens the Maddogs’ season record to 1-1. The team’s next two games are at home. They play the Prince Albert River Riders on Sunday, September 21 at 3 p.m.; and host the Tinkler Raiders on Sunday, September 28 at 3:30 p.m. The Maddogs Pee Wee team is still looking for its first win of the season. The team lost 48-6 to the Ledingham Steelers on Wednesday, September 10 in Saskatoon. They are scheduled to play the Knoll Panthers September 17 in Saskatoon. They have home games at Geransky Field on September 21 and September 28.

but it’s still being milked for all it’s worth. This past April at a convention in Calgary I got to make my 6-year-old former self jealous by meeting the actors behind the voices from the original cartoon show. When it comes to costumes, though, my favourite character is ‘Hellboy’. As part of my outfit, I made an articulated ‘Right Hand of Doom’; the fingers move and can spin at the wrist. Its first incarnation took me eight months to make and my second attempt took about four months. I have it sitting on my bookshelf signed by Hellboy himself, actor Ron Pearlman. It’s one of my most prized possessions, partly bcause I made it myself and partly because it just looks cool.
Kristin and Sabastian got engaged at a Comic Con in Calgary and are getting hitched at the upcoming Comic Expo in Saskatoon
THE GATHERINGS
My first convention was in Seattle in 2011. ‘ZomBcon’ was like nothing I had ever experienced in my life. A zombiethemed convention, it had bigname guests that ranged from director George Romero to cast members from all of Romero’s zombie movies, including Judith O’Day from ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and Eugene Clark who played Big Daddy Zombie in ‘Land of the Dead’. You might wonder what people do at these conventions. Good question. Every day there are screenings of movies, vendors and booths galore, and of course the autographs and panels. I attended the Judith O’Day panel and heard her tell how the experience of making that zombie movie shaped her career. She was asked: “What were you thinking for motivation while you had to act almost comatose and paralyzed with fear during the zombie attack in Night?” Her answer has always stuck with me. She said when she was a little girl she saw the Vincent Price movie ‘House of Wax’ for the first time. She recalled the part where the female lead began peeling away the wax coverings on Price to reveal the hideously scarred face underneath, and how frightened it made it feel. “That

was my inspiration because it one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen,” she said. I saw ‘House of Wax’ for the first time about a year ago, and yeah, it’s a scary scene, all right. It hits you right in the psyche. That’s what gives these movies such punch, and it’s also what makes them so popular.
CON CONNECTIONS
My first trip to the Calgary Expo (www.Calgaryexpo.com) was in April, 2012. I was blown away by the sheer enormity of the crowd and the diversity of costumes and fans. This particular year was the first time the main cast from Star Trek: The Next Generation had all been together since the show was cancelled. Seeing so many Star Fleet uniforms, Vulcans and Klingons wandering the con floor was a surreal experience, to say the least. Serious comic-con fans all wear costumes, but that sometimes poses challenges. If the
outfit is big and bulky and the headgear restricts your visibility, it’s not easy to see where you’re going. It helps to have a “handler” along; a friend who can guide you through the crowd. I’ve relied on my pal Josh a few times to perform that role, but he’s not the most reliable helper because he’s easily distracted and often disappears into the crowd. Another friend of mine,
Duane, who goes by the cosplay name of ‘SaskaDoom’, has created a Thor costume that always attracts a crowd. With his beard and long blonde hair, combined with the fact that he stands well over 6 feet tall, he’s the spitting image of the classic Marvel Comics hero. You never know what to expect at a comic-con. During one Calgary expo I met two seriously-devoted comic-con fans named Sabastian and Kristin. Sabastian proposed to Kristin in 2013 during the costume contest in Calgary in front of a huge crowd. They were met with mighty applause when she said “yes!” This BRIANNE YAWORSKI | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE coming weekend at the Saskatoon Comic and EnJustice League Saskatoon tertainment Expo (SCEE) they (JLS) members do their bit plan to tie the knot: a fitting to help out at charitable comic-book ending to an offfundraisers. beat romance.

Langham Elementary celebrates literacy with reading program Walls in three classrooms rebuilt after structural issues discovered By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
It was party time at Langham Elementary School on Thursday, September 11, as teachers, students and staff celebrated two happy occasions: completion of major renovations and the launching of an innovative program encouraging youngsters to read. Over the summer, walls in three classrooms at the south end of the school were rebuilt. In addition, there were major upgrades to the entire building including the installation of energy-efficient insulation and new windows. The work was begun in July and completed literally a few hours before school opened in early September. The three classrooms that underwent renovations were closed off from the rest of the school this past spring after cracks in the walls were discovered. The classes had to relocate to temporary quarters in the library and staff room. “It’s exciting to have everyone back in their own classrooms,” said Langham Elementary School Principal Laura Prefontaine in an interview at the school. “It created some challenges last spring and we all had to make adjustments. But now that it’s all over, we’re really happy with the improvements.” Ken Crush, Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) trustee for the area, understands the issue very well. He was principal
of the school in the 1980s, and said the problem with the walls was an ongoing one. “It was a chronic issue. Every winter when the frost heaved that end of the school would move up and down about two to three inches,” said Crush in an interview. “And I guess last winter when it got really cold, it heaved so much it compromised the structural integirty of the walls.” The school division hired an outside engineering firm to determine whether it was safe to continue to hold classes in the affected part of the building. The engineers determined it was not. “They closed three classrooms early last spring,” said Crush. “They monitored the situation and tried to determine the full extent and the overall cause of the problem.” Crush said the current school sits on the same site as an older school that burned down in 1971. The portion of the current school that was affected was an addition that was added in the mid-1970s, and it is unclear whether proper pilings were put in under the cement slab. He said that may have contributed to the problem. It was clear to PSSD officials that the problem had to be fixed, but it took several months before the Ministry of Education approved the necessary funding. Work didn’t start on the project until July, said Crush. “We only had two months to

Teachers at Langham Elementary School perform a song and dance routine as part of the kickoff to the school’s “One School, One Book” literacy program get all the work done,” he said. “The construction company and the school division staff did a great job getting everything finished in that time.” Prefontaine introduced the contractors and PSSD staff who worked on the project in front of a school assembly. “I’m a firm believer in giving credit where credit is due,” she said.” The students need to
know that it takes many people working very hard as a team to make these things happen, and we want to acknowledge their contributions.”
LOVE OF READING
The assembly also marked the launch of a month-long reading program at the school known as “One School, One Book”. Originally begun in
the United States, the idea has spread across the continent, and several schools in PSSD are incorporating it into their academic programming. The school ran a similar program last year and felt it was very successful, said Prefontaine. The program involves an entire school population reading the same book, and is designed to encourage youngsters to also
involve their families and other community members. To generate interest and excitement among the students, teachers used a series of videos, songs and skits to convey how much fun it is to read. “If we can show we’re having fun and we’re engaged, then it becomes contagious,” said Prefontaine. “The kids pick up on that enthusiasm.”
‘Ability In Me’ program hires speech language therapist, plans to open in October By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca
The Ability In Me program (AIM) held its first barbecue social event and introduced the program’s new speech language therapist on Sunday, September 14. The program, whose mandate is to provide speech language therapy assistance and family support for children with Down Syndrome, is tentatively scheduled to open its doors in October, said vice president and communications director Christy Waldner. ”It is pretty exciting that we are finally getting to this point where we can see some results. It actually has been a longer process than I thought it was going to be,” said Waldner ”Right now we have 39 families committed to support but we know there are families out there that we haven’t reached in the province. Now the word will start spreading.” Dianne Lieffers, the program’s first speech language therapist, has about 21 years of experience working with adults and in school divisions
in Warman and Rosetown. Lieffers said she saw the AIM program as an opportunity to work with children in a direct service model. ”Within the school division we try to do as much as much direct therapy as we can,” said Lieffers. “Given the affiliation with the program in Calgary, which is very much a direct service model, it was an opportunity in the community to do that.” The PREP program, which has been operating in Calgary for 25 years, is the inspiration for Saskatoon’s AIM program. Lieffers will be leaving for Calgary on September 22 for training with PREP program professionals to gain insight on what methodology she can bring to AIM. ”I kind of see it in two different ways certainly understanding their treatment approach and treatment methodology,” said Lieffers. “They have an individual model as well as a group model based on age ranges for the children so there is that varying, technological speech therapy aspect.”
One aspect that makes the PREP program unique is parent involvement. ”One of the components of PREP that had really contributed to its success has been the parent involvement in the program; so parents attend with their children for the individual and group sessions. In terms of that carryover and generalization into home and school environments, parents are really empowered and involved on that process,” said Lieffers. Earlier this year an AIM fundraiser collected about $5,500 for its program but it is still waiting on government assistance. ”We’ve got enough raised through corporate and fundraising that we are able to operate for a year,” said Waldner. Government funding for AIM is still an ongoing process and a longer process than we thought it was going to be, said Waldner. ”It is going through different committees and people through the Ministry of Education and
Ministry of Social Services. It is not one particular department. It will go through the channels,” said Waldner. In the meantime, Lieffers will be calling and meeting with parents who will be benefitting from the AIM program soon. Waldner said Lieffers is a great first step for AIM. ”It was really the right fit for the program. She is really excited, forward-thinking and understanding in what the program is about and what we are expecting,” said Waldner. The AIM program will be hosting their 2nd Annual Workshop on November 5-6, 2014 for education and health care professionals working with children ages 0-21 with Down syndrome. Families are encouraged to attend. AIMs new office space will be located in Grosvenor Park United Church in Saskatoon.

CAPRICORN December 22– January 19
Family needs take precedence over your obligations at work, Capricorn. Higher-ups will just have to be patient if they want to keep you on as an employee.
AQUARIUS January 20– February 18
Aquarius, everyone expects you to provide advice, but this week you may be in need of guidance. It could be because you have been tackling so many projects lately.
PISCES February 19– March 20
Few things escape your attention, Pisces. However, this week you can expect to be happily surprised by good news.
ARIES March 21– April 19
Aries, you can have all of the inspiration in the world, but without some practical application, your idea will stall. Spend some time thinking things through.
TAURUS April 20– May 20
You are torn between two choices, Taurus. Family matters are on one side, and work responsibilities are on the other. It may take a few days to work out a decision.
GEMINI May 21– June 21
Gemini, it’s difficult to contain all of your enthusiasm, so share your excitement and happiness with others. Try tackling some other people’s projects.

King Accounting Services provides flexibility to business owners Taxes, payroll and bookkeeping are generally not at the top of many business owners “Like to do” lists. But, Kelly King of King Accounting Services can help. The company specializes in corporate tax and financial statements, personal taxes and bookkeeping, GST, payroll and PST filings. “I have my CGA designation, my Bachelor of Commerce degree in Accounting and 14 years of public accounting experience,” King says. “Generally, people look for an accountant that they can build a permanent relationship with. My personality sets me apart from others as I try to be flexible, dedicated and positive in the work that I do.” King, who started the firm in March of this year, attempted to relocate her children to live with her in Martensville but circumstances dictated otherwise. “I decided to start my own accounting firm so that I could have more flexibility to raise my children where they reside. I now have two homes and live half-time at each location. Being a business owner gives me the flexibility to schedule life in as it happens.”

Full slate of programs, activities in store at Venture Heights School Academics, sports, arts all part of school’s programming By TERRY PUGH
tpugh@ccgazette.ca
Venture Heights School in Martensville is gearing up for its third full-scale musical stage production in three years. And while the choice of script is still up in the air at this point, it won’t be long until young thespians and musicians are lining up to audition for the major roles. It’s all part of what promises to be a “very exciting” academic year at the elementary school in Martensville, says school principal Ron Biberdorf. “We have so many programs, it’s hard to name them all,” said Biberdorf in an interview in the school library on Friday, September 12. “We have a full complement of athletics happening now, with cheerleading getting underway and four volleyball teams currently practising for league play. We have a cross country team that’s going to a couple of meets in the next few weeks, and there are about two dozen kids in our junior golf program that are participating in a competition in Delisle this week.” Biberdorf said the school is embarking on its second year with the “One School, One Book” reading initiative, which encourages the entire school, along with parents and community members, to all read the same book over a six week period. The Venture Heights School Community Council provided seed money for the books, and that money was supplemented later by fundraisers through the year. The school purchased 400 copies of the popular children’s classic, ‘Because of Winn-Dixie’, and one copy of the book is being distributed to the youngest child in each family. “Every family gets a copy of the book and a schedule for reading at home,” said Biberdorf. “There’s also a website and a blog with trivia questions and comments on each chapter. This program will culminate in time for our student conferences and parent-teacher interviews in October.” Last year, the school purchased copies of ‘Charlotte’s Web’ for use in the One School, One Book program. The success of the initiative is something the school wants to share with others in the division. “We’re looking for dance partners,” said Biberdorf. “We’re looking for some schools that want to do the same thing. We have all these copies of Charlotte’s Web, and we would like a school to take that on. We can pass these books on to that school, and maybe next year they can buy books for us. We would love to rotate those
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
books around if we can find other schools that want to participate with us.”
STEADY ENROLMENT
Biberdorf said the enrolment at Venture Heights School is relatively stable. “We’re in the section of Martensville that has not as much new housing,” said Biberdorf. “Most of the growth in new housing is on the south side of the city. But as the east starts to expand with the new Lake Vista neighbourhood, we’re going to start seeing some kids fom that area attend
our school.” Eventually, there will be new schools built in that area, but they won’t be ready until 2017. “There could be a bit of a crunch in the short term,” said Biberdorf. “If that happens, the school division will likely assign Grades 7 and 8 students from the two elementary schools and put them in the high school, which should be finished construction by then. That’s the short-term contingency plan.” The school welcomed parents and students with a pancake breakfast on September 12, thanks to some help from the Martensville Fire Depart-

It’s very helpful and we received a lot of positive
feedback. We want families, when they come to Venture Heights, to feel they are part of what we are doing here. We want people to offer suggestions, and contribute their skills and talents to make our school a great place for everyone.”

Martensville’s boom triggers more growth at Valley Manor School

Student enrolment has more than doubled in past six years By TERRY PUGH

Enrolment at Valley Manor School in Martensville has topped 700 students for the first time in its history. “Last year we finished the year at about 645 students, and this year we’re at 715 students so far, so it’s way up,” said Valley Manor School Vice-Principal Michael Cox in an interview on Friday, September 12. “Most of the increase is in the lower grades. We sent 50 grade 8 graduates to the high school last year, and this year we’re welcoming 106 kindergarten students. So there’s a shift of about 50 kids right there.” Cox said a significant number of new families have moved in to Martensville over the summer, and that increase in student numbers has been spread fairly evenly among all the grades. He noted that most of the increase in new families is because of the fast growth in residential homes being built in the city’s south end. “From what we’re seeing, there are more houses to come, so that will mean even more kids next year, especially in the lower grades,” said Cox. “It means challenges, but it’s a good problem to have. It’s much better than being faced with declining enrolment and a shrinking population.” Cox said while the new Lake Vista neighbourhood will begin to develop in earnest this fall and over the winter, students in that area are more likely to go to Venture Heights. “Main Street is the dividing line,” said Cox. “That’s the boundary between our area and Venture Heights. We’ve fielded some calls from families whose houses in Lake Vista will be ready by November. Technically they should be going to Venture Heights, at least until the new schools get built in that neighbourhood in a few years.” Cox said the “enrolment bubble”
will see more kids in the younger grades in coming years. “We now have four classes of each grade up to Grade 4,” said Cox. “We have three classes each of Grades 5 to 8. This is the first year we’ve had three Grade 8 classes. In the past it’s always been two.” To handle the growth, construction is currently underway on four new classrooms at the south end of the school. “This will be our Grade 2 wing,” said Cox. “We have one Grade 2 class in the library right now to start the year. There’s another Grade 2 class in our staff room, and another Grade 2 class in our computer lab. So we’re a little tight on space right now, but we’re making it work.” The addition of these four units will bring the total number of classrooms in the school to 32. “Most of the classrooms in this school are technically relocatables,” said Cox. “Of the 32 classrooms, 22 were built on to the original school.” The addition of relocatables began in earnest in the late 1980s, with one or two every few years. But Cox said over the past six years, the school has seen multiple classrooms built annually. “This year we’re adding four classrooms. Last year we added five. The year before that was a group of three classrooms,” he said. “This school was originally designed and built to handle 350 students. Now we’re over 700. That’s double the original capacity, and we’re still growing.”
HEALTHY THEME
Cox said the school has adopted a theme this year focusing on health. “It’s made up of four quadrants,” said Cox. “Healthy bodies, healthy minds, healthy school, and a healthy community. Each month we’re doing a variety of activities that tie in to that

On September 18, the school is hosting its annual barbecue for parents and students. It provides a friendly environment where families can get to know the teachers and the school, said Cox. The school has a full slate of sports activities lined up for the year, including volleyball, said Cox. “We also have close to 70 to 80 runners in Grades 4 to 8 participating in cross country meets this year,” he said. “Our kids like to be active and we encourage that.” Cox noted Valley Manor School has an active School Safety Patrol program that helps keeps students safe, especially during noon hour break

and after school. “At the end of the school day, it can be quite a zoo in front of our school,” said Cox. “There’s a lot of traffic, and a lot of kids and buses. The student vol-
unteers with the safety patrol really do play a big role in keeping the kids safe. They have a big responsibility because they’re out there every day, except when it hits minus 30 and colder.”
