Some time overnight between July 16, 2011 and July 17, 2011 an unknown person or persons kicked over a motorcycle and caused it some damage while it was parked near the Adobe Inn in Martensville. On August 1st, 2011 RCMP received a complaint of a vehi-cle that had been damaged while parked on the 100 block of 5th Avenue North. It is unknown exactly when the damage oc-curred, but is believed to have happened just prior to July 29th, 2011. The rear driver’s side tailight was damaged and appears to have been broken by someone directly hitting it with an ob-ject as opposed to another vehicle. Should you have any information regarding this incident please contact Cst. RUSSELL of the Martensville RCMP or CrimeStoppers. (File 2011-942297). Some time through the overnight hours of July 18th, a white dodge truck that was parked in the driveway of a resi-dence on Main Street in Martensville was entered and gone through by unknown suspect(s). The vehicle was not locked and no damaged occurred for the suspect(s) to gain entry. Once inside the vehicle, the glove box and center console were gone through with the contents being strewn about the vehicle. It appears as though the suspect(s) may have been looking for loose change or small items of value. If you have information regarding this or any other crime in Martensville, please contact the Martensville RCMP at 975-1610 or your local Crime Stoppers. (File 2011-871930). Sometime in the overnight hours of August 12th, 2011 suspect(s) entered a garage at a residence located on Ginther Place in Martensville. Suspect(s) pried the side garage door to gain entry. Once inside, suspect(s) took a Silver NORCO BMX bicycle. The bicycle is described as having a grey see through seat. Suspect(s) also entered 2 vehicles that were parked in the driveway. It is believed that neither vehicle was locked as there were no damages to the exterior or the interior. The vehicles are described as a blue Jeep and a blue Pontiac Sunfi re. Taken from the Jeep was a blue Dell Lap Top, a grey IPOD Touch, and a black and grey Blackberry. Taken from the Sunfi re was an adapter cord for an IPOD. If you have information regarding this or any other crime, please contact Crime Stoppers, your local RCMP Detachment, or Martensville RCMP Detachment at 975-1610. Cst. JM RUS-SELL (File 2011-998703) Sometime between 10:00PM on August 19, 2011 and

Glenn Wright will be the NDP candidate in Biggar in the 2011 provincial election. He was selected as the par-ty’s candidate this evening at a nomination meeting in Perdue. “Glenn is exactly the type of candidate the NDP needs,” NDP Education Critic Cam Broten, the guest speaker at the nom-ination, said. “He has strong roots in farming and his com-munity, is well educated and has chosen to live and raise a family in Biggar riding. For these rea-sons and more, we know he will

Wright to carry NDP coloursmake an excellent representa-tive for this constituency.” Glenn Wright, 34, current-ly farms near Delisle. He holds both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Saskatche-wan and works as a chief pro-cess engineer for Cameco at the McCarthur River uranium mine in northern Saskatche-wan.

PRAIRIE GOLDJohn Braun (above) gathers sheaves of oats into stooks, as he and other mem-bers of the Saskatchewan River Valley Threshermen’s Club harvest a four-acre fi eld just north of Hague on Wednesday, August 24. (Below) John Braun, Richard Braun and Landon Braun cut down the oats using a 1949 8N Ford tractor and a 75-year old John Deere binder that was originally manufactured in Welland, Ontario. 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 ac-tive members, is holding its annual Threshing Day on Saturday, September 17 just north of Hague. The day-long event features a pancake breakfast and demonstra-tions of threshing using antique threshing machines.

A referendum to determine divi-sional boundaries in the RM of Corman Park will be held on

Wednesday, October 26. At a special meeting on Mon-day, August 29, the RM Council vot-ed 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 division-al boundaries will be put to voters throughout the entire RM, in both even-numbered and odd-numbered divisions. Advance polls for both the refer-endum and the even-numbered divi-sion elections will take place at the RM of Corman Park offi ce on Friday, October 21. There will actually be two ques-tions on the referendum ballot, and the results of the voting may have to go to the Provincial Minister of Mu-nicipal Affairs in Regina for a fi nal interpretation. One question will ask voters if they are in favour of realigning the

Corman Park referendum to feature two electoral boundary questions

electoral division boundaries, and reducing the number of divisions from 11 to 8. The other question will ask vot-ers if they are in favour of realigning the division boundaries, but retain-ing 11 electoral divisions. The electoral boundary refer-endum was prompted by a petition signed by over 1500 eligible rate-payers and submitted to council in late June. The petition called for a referendum question asking voters whether they are in favour of a re-alignment of divisional boundaries, and a reduction in the number of electoral divisions in the RM. A proposed electoral division map outlining the proposed bound-ary changes is available for rate-payers to view at the RM of Corman Park offi ce prior to the referendum. After voting in favour of holding

By TERRY [email protected]

the referendum to coincide with the October 26 election, and confi rming the question on the ballot, a motion was put forward by Reeve Mel Henry to put a second question on the ref-erendm ballot. Henry’s resolution called for re-aligning the division boundaries, but to retain the same number of divisions. A proposed electoral map based on a proposal that was fi rst put to council in 2009 was attached to his motion. After considerable debate, the resolution endorsing the addition of a second question on the referen-dum was passed, with 7 councilors voting in favour, and 4 councilors opposed. The interpretation of the fi nal re-sults will be left in the hands of the provincial Minister of Municipal Af-fairs.

Police have laid additional charg-es in connection with a break, enter and theft at a Warman business last month. On August 18, James Doell was arrested, remanded and charged with seven counts under the Crimi-nal Code. Further investigation was carried out by the GIS unit of the Warman RCMP which has resulted in further charges against Doell. The accused has subsequent-ly been charged with one count of Break, Enter and Commit Theft and three counts of Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Under $5,000. The Warman GIS unit was able to identify victims and have returned approximately 161 pieces of prop-erty with an estimated value over $10,000. Doell is currently remanded in custody and was scheduled to make his next court appearance on August 30 in Saskatoon Provincial Court.

Township Road 384. The mis-hap resulted in two people be-ing taken to hospital by MD Ambulance.

Warman RCMP and the Warman Fire Department responded to the accident, which happened at about 1:00 p.m. A motorcyclist who wit-nessed the crash performed fi rst aid on one accident vic-tim until fi rst responders ar-rived. According to witness, one of the vehicles was cross-ing Highway 11 westbound when it struck a second vehi-cle which was endeavouring to turn south onto Highway 11. A third vehicle travelling south on Highway 11 then ended up in the median ditch between the north and south-bound lanes of the divided highway. Southbound traffi c on Highway 11 was restricted to one lane for about an hour at the intersection, which serves as the south entrance to the

Town of Warman. While RCMP conduct-ed an investigation of the accident, Warman Fire De-partment members and the Warman Bylaw Offi cer assist-ed in directing traffi c around the accident scene.

After nine years in busi-ness, the Meeting Place coffee shop in Warman

is closing its doors. “It was a great run,,” ex-plained Barb Shram, a mem-ber of the Christian Life Fel-lowship 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 fulfi lling a need. The coffee shop’s last day of business is Friday, Septem-ber 2. Shram, who has been in-vovled in the volunteer-run coffee shop since it fi rst start-ed in 2002, said the business is not in trouble fi nancially and is not closing because of perceived competition from the new Tim Horton’s fran-chise in town. “There are a lot of rumours out there, and we just want people to know that we’re not in any diffi culty,” Shram said. “We just feel it’s a good time to wind things down. We’re not closing because of any cri-sis.” The church congregation decided to purchase the build-ing in 2002 when it came up for sale. “We wanted to do some-thing different for our com-munity,” 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 want-ed to serve it with excellence. We wanted a place where peo-ple could come and have an excellent experience.” She said the congregation wanted to show the commu-nity, in a concrete way, that it was there to serve. ‘The perception is that churches take,” she said. “We wanted to show there is an-other side.” She said the idea of a cof-fee shop was taken up with enthusiasm because at the

Meeting Place coffee shop closing after serving area for nine yearstime, it was a unique venture. “We wanted a place where people could get a taste of the big city, without leav-ing home,” she said. While the shop op-erates on volunteer la-bour, it is otherwise set up as a regular busi-ness. “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 busi-ness in town does. “ Any profi t made by the Meeting Place was turned back into community projects, she said. “We’ve given away thousands of dol-lars, mostly towards high school scholar-ships, to which we’ve contributed every year. We’ve also sup-ported 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 pro-vided them with practi-cal 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 Skoru-pan 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 shop’s grand opening in the spring of 2003. The building, which is one of the oldest in Warman, dates back to 1915. It original-ly served as a store and resi-dence 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

GAZETTE PHOTOS BY TERRY PUGH

store, but eventually became the Warman offi ce for Kes-sler 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 basi-cally built a new building in-side 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 mod-ern standards.” The coffee shop was de-signed 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 supplement-ed those earnings,” he stated. Barb Shram said the cof-fee shop provided a focal point for many people in the

community. “A lot of nice things happened here,” she said. “It’s been a very positive thing for the community.” The church has not yet decided what its future plans are for the building.

“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.”

TIME OF TRANSITION(Inset) The Meeting Place coffee shop in Warman is closing its doors because the church congregation which owns the business has decided it is time to wind it down after a successful nine-year run of serving the community.

One of the more intriguing mys-teries about the late Jack Layton’s career is why he didn’t do better here. After all, when Jack Layton start-ed 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 pre-vious 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 Saskatch-ewan. For that reason that the Mon-treal-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 fed-eral politics. Since that 2003 leader-ship win, Layton outlasted no less than four Liberal leaders and two parties on right. And most signifi -cant to his legacy, Jack Layton out-lasted the Bloc Quebecois, essential-ly replacing it as the voice of Quebec in the 2011 election that led to his party winning 103 seats nationality. But strangely absent from Lay-ton’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-

ince many consider the NDP’s home. Even the woeful Liberals were able to elect Ralph Goodale in Saskatch-ewan in all four elections when the NDP were shut out. There are a number of factors as to why. The fi rst might that that Layton ‒ for whatever national appeal he had in the latter years of his politi-cal career in particular ‒ never con-nect especially well in Saskatche-wan. 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 Saskatch-ewan ‒ especially rural Saskatche-wan. 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 Lay-ton stood strong on social justice and environmental issues, Saskatch-ewan was more pre-occupied by its rise to economic prominence. Conservative philosophy now

reigns supreme in this province. Brad Wall’s rather conservative-minded Saskatchewan Party govern-ment are polling at levels that would translate into a historic provincial victory. And federally, Conservative numbers have been similarly histor-ic. 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 disproportion-al success of the Conservatives that offers a much clearer picture of the Layton-NDP failings in Saskatche-wan in the past decade. With 26-and 32-per-cent of the vote in 2008 and 2011 respective-ly, there clearly should have been enough NDP support in Saskatch-ewan for the NDP to at least win a few seats. The problem is that the NDP vote was simply not concentrat-ed enough in Saskatchewan and one has to look no further than the elec-toral map to see why. The implementation of eight ru-ral-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 ru-ral seats. As a result, Layton’s New Democrats were stuck with unfa-vourable 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 re-vitalizing the NDP.

A full public inquiry is needed into the operations of the Gar-diner Dam at Lake Diefenbak-

er. A proposed internal review by the Saskatcehwan Watershed Au-thoirty (SWA is not suffi cient be-cause it will not adequately address the issues and concerns of landown-ers who have experienced fl ooding this past spring. John Fahlman of the SWA is on record as stating that after ev-ery fl ood event the SWA carries out an internal review. It does not ap-pear 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 fl ood 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 fl ood of June 2011. Regardless of what SWA per-sonnel say or write about balanc-ing water supply demands and fl ood control, it is clear that their way of operating the Gardiner Dam is to forego any fl ood control to maxi-mize water supply. Clearly, when SWA cannot be trusted to operate the Gardiner Dam responsibly, the agency should not be trusted to con-duct an internal review impartially. I do suggest that an internal re-view could be used to fi gure out who,

in the agency, decided to run the Gardiner Dam without the required fl ood control. Apparently someone noticed there is better money in wa-ter supply and no real money in fl ood control ‒ this year shows the liabili-ty the SWA is prepared to infl ict on the people of Saskatchewan in the quest for cash. The internal review by the SWA could be used to deter-mine who should be fi red or asked to resign. A recent letter (dated June 22, 2011) from Wayne Dybvig, President of the Saskatchewan Watershed Au-thority, stated that the SWA was pre-pared to leave 0.37 metres of space at the top of the Gardiner Dam by the end of June. In previous corre-spondence with myself the SWA stat-ed that their guideline for July 1 was to accomplish a water elevation lev-el of 555.0 to 555.3 at the Gardiner Dam (ensuring 1.57 to 1.87 metres of space for fl ood control even after the June rains. The public inquiry should clearly spell out how much space is required to provide fl ood control downstream of the dam and it should also determine how much fl ood control is required when coffer dams are present in the river block-ing the fl ow of water. The Coffer Dam Effect The coffer dam that has been constructed around the pylons of the South Circle Drive Bridge con-struction site has resulted in wa-ter being pushed appreciably high-er than would be anticipated by the

general population. Not only was the general population surprised by the anticipated fl ood water levels, but apparently so were SWA personnel ‒ which should not be the case, consid-ering 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 outfl ow will be 1300 m3/s. River water levels downstream will increase approximately 0.5 metres (metres). (For comparison, in 2005, fl ows downstream of Lake Diefen-baker peaked at approximately 1890 m3/s.)” In reality signifi cantly higher fl ood water levels were observed this year than seen in 2005, despite the lower fl ow rate in the river. This can be understood by estimating that the coffer dam caused about a 50 % increase in fl ood water level because of its presence. This means that a fl ow rate of about 900 m3/s with the coffer dam effect (900 + 50% of 900 = 1350 m3/s ) will initiate fl ood-ing in the Moon Lake area, because a fl ow rate of 1300 m3/s (without the coffer dam effect) causes fl ood-ing at this location. At the report-ed 1500 m3/s maximum fl ow rate in 2011, the coffer dam effect caused fl ood water levels comparable to that which would be observed at a fl ow rate of approximately 2250 m3/s without the coffer dam effect. This estimated coffer dam effect (i.e., the 50 % increase in fl ood water level) is

supported by: a. Observed fl ood water lev-els 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 fl ows, reported that these berms were overtopped. c. May explain the Outfl ow Graph produced by SaskPower, which appeared on the SWA website showing outfl ows of 2300 to 2400 m3/s. The presence of this coffer dam, obviously approved by some-one in the Saskatchewan Govern-ment, should have alerted SWA that they needed to ensure more space was left in the Diefenbaker Reser-voir when history shows the average peak infl ow into the reservoir is ex-pected to be over 1300 m3/s during June. With the coffer dam effect the anticipated fl ood water level with a fl ow of 1300 m3/s is comparable to damage infl icted by a fl ow of 2000 m3/s without a coffer dam. Because a coffer dam has an ap-preciable impact on water levels up-stream, a property owner is forced to conclude that the SWA had ev-ery intention of fl ooding our proper-ty this year. Examining the current water level in the Diefenbaker reser-voir, it is clear that the SWA is keep-ing the reservoir at Full Supply Lev-el ‒ any rainfall upstream, resulting in a fl ow of 900 m3/s or more, will again result in fl ooding in the Moon Lake area. Recent history demon-

strates that a property owner would be a fool to believe that any inter-nal review will result in any chang-es in the operation of the Gardiner Dam. It is clear that SWA intended to fl ood us in June, and intends to fl ood us if any more rainfall results in in-fl ows 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 tax-payers to almost unlimited fi nancial risks. We have spent almost three weeks pumping the fl ood water off of our property. This year, when the fl ow rate in the river dropped after sustained high fl ows 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 fl ow rate was reduced in the river after the 2005 fl ood. This year, the fl ood wa-ter remaining on our land was about a half foot higher than the level at which it stabilized when the fl ow in the river was reduced in 2005. After having completed the pumping out of water, the farm is fi nally drying out. Clearly hydroelectricity does not look very green when it results in the destruction of so many trees just on our farm.

If you’re a fan of “Steel Magnolias”, you’ll like “The Hallelujah Girls”, the latest of-fering 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 hap-pens to throw their way. It’s a formula that’s been done be-fore (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 perfor-mance gives the cast and crew a standing ovation. But if you didn’t get a tick-et, don’t despair. The popu-lar show has been held over. The producers added anoth-er 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 Thomp-kins, played by Sharon Loep-pky, to renovate an old aban-doned church and build a successful day spa business. Loeppky gives a strong per-formance as the lead charac-ter. Sugar Lee, like the aban-doned 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 re-turn of her old fl ame, and the machinations of her arch-ri-val. Her close friends Car-lene Travis (played by Tanya Funk), Nita Mooney (Cher-yl Cole), Mavis FLowers (Liz Scott) and Crystal Hart (Deb-bie Larsen) are all commit-ted to helping out, but they’re each dealing with their own

Major upgrades to the drainage system connect-ing 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 fl ood mitiga-tion meeting in Osler on Tues-day, August 23, Osler Mayor Ben Buhler said the town is seeking input from all land-owners. “We want to come up with a solution to make things bet-ter 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 land-onwers along the route. Ap-proximately 25 people attend-ed, 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 fi rm of Catterall and Wright. Detailed engineer-

Osler drainage project seeks input from affected landownersing specifi cations 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 sys-tem involves deepening and widening the ditch that runs parallel to Blumenheim Road east of Osler. The upgraded drainage ditch would divert water fl ow that currently me-anders thorugh a series of shallow gullies south of Blu-menheim Road immediately east of the Osler sewage la-goon. 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 fl ows in a south-easterly 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 fu-ture and trying to deal with some of these issues now,” he said. He noted that because of the fl at topography east of Osler, there is “no real defi ned drainage path” until the sur-face water runoff reaches the cemetery, about midway be-tween the town and the river. He said deepening the

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 wise-cracks. Crystal likes to cele-brate every holiday on the cal-endar, 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

Trevor Linden’s storied ca-reer with the Vancouver Ca-nucks almost ended before it began.

Drafted second overall in the fi rst round by the Canucks in 1988, Linden and his par-ents were in the Vancouver team’s hospitality room after the NHL entry draft. “My dad, a good old hard-working prairie guy from Medicine Hat, wasn’t particu-larly up on the NHL or the Ca-nucks organization,” said Lin-den. “We’re standing around chatting and up comes Arthur Griffi ths, who stands about 5 foot 4 and looks like a paper-boy. My dad slaps him on the back and says: ‘What do you do for the team?’ “And Arthur Griffi ths re-plies: ‘My name is Arthur and I own the team.’ I just about died. But dad and Arthur end-ed up becoming good friends and they still keep in touch.” Linden, who was induct-ed into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame in 2010, was the key-note speaker at the 5th annu-al Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction in Warman on Thurs-day, August 25. Linden headlined an all-star cast of athletes that includ-ed Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant, re-ceiver Weston Dressler, defen-sive lineman Jerrell Freeman, Toronto Maple Leafs star Col-by Armstrong and Pittsburgh Penguins’ sniper Mark Letestu.

Leadership qualities needed most during tough times, says LindenBy TERRY [email protected]

Hosted by well-known sports broadcaster Drew Remenda, the dinner and auc-tion attracted a capacity crowd and raised thousands of dol-lars for the Warman Sport and Cultural Village (WSCV) recreation complex. The facili-ty’s 6500-seat hock-ey rink is slated to open this coming No-vember, with the re-mainder of the build-ing scheduled to be completed in 2013 to coincide with the opening of the new Warman Middle Years School.LEADERSHIPCHALLENGES Linden said when Canucks head coach Pat Quinn appointed him Captain of the team at the age of 21, he suddenly found himself thrust into a position of leader-ship and responsibil-ity. “I was a little overwhelmed,” Lin-den admitted. “But when someone shows that kind of faith in you and your abili-ties, you have to step up and do what you need to do.” Linden said he learned over the years that leadership qualities come to the surface when times get tough. “True leadership is about digging in and supporting the person next to you,” he said. “It’s about looking in the mir-ror and asking yourself: how can I do things better.” He cited Steve Yzerman as a major infl uence. “When we played together

on the Olympic team and at the World Cup, I saw how Steve led by example,” said Linden. “He was a superstar, but he would walk into the locker room and be the most down-to-earth guy

in the room. He’d take on what-ever role the coach asked him to do: be a checker, kill penal-ties or whatever. He checked his ego at the door for the good of the team. He really taught me a lot and that was one of the things that stuck with me my whole career.” Linden said leadership qualities apply to the everyday world of business and family life as well. “We can all have our own leadership style,” he noted.

“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 fi nger at someone else and complain. That’s a losing mentality.” He said be-ing in a leadership position is some-times very lonely and diffi cult. “You can’t always make every-one happy,” he said. “But you have to have the courage to do what is right, and what is in the best interests of your group. If you believe in yourself you will always garner re-spect.” Linden re-called his term as President of the NHL Players Asso-ciation during the lockout in 2004-05 as a challenging pe-riod. “I had a lot of sleepless nights thinking about what

was best for 700 hockey play-ers,” he said. “But if I had to do it over again, I would.” Linden said there were deep divisions among players at that time. He recalled a late-night phone call from Dany Heatley, who disagreed with the deal that was being negoti-ated. “I told Dany that I respect-ed his opinion, but we still went ahead with the agree-ment,” said Linden. Two years later, Heatley

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 af-ter all,” related Linden.TIMES HAVE CHANGED Linden said he was fortu-nate to play in the NHL when he did. “The game has changed since I fi 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 uncom-mon 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 mil-lion invested in players, so it’s big money. There’s a lot of pres-sure.” 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. “Our fi tness equip-ment consisted of a couple of old stationary bikes that were brought in when Harry Snepsts cleaned out his basement.”

Trevor Linden, former Captain of the Vancouver Canucks, was the keynote speaker at the WSCV Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction in Warman.

A summer reading pro-gram at the Osler branch of the Wheatland Regional Li-brary had kids reaching new heights. A total of 38 youngsters participated in the “Splash Celebrate Summer” reading program, according to librari-an Tina Rempel. Of those, fi ve achieved the goal of reading 100 books. “It was pretty amazing,” said Rempel during the li-brary’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 mu-ral on a wall inside the library painted by local artist Jessica Reimer gave the children a vi-sual representation of their accomplishments, noted Rem-pel. “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 surf-boards and eventually some even made it to fl ying above the waves,” she explained She said the library is ex-ploring ways to stay open longer hours as increasing numbers of patrons take ad-vantage of the new province-wide borrowing system. “We’re hooked into a sys-tem 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 summer reading pro-gram sponsored by the Wheatland Regional Library had many young people ex-ploring the world of books and having fun in the pro-cess. The Langham branch of the Wheatland Library held its windup on Tuesday, Au-gust 23, with a special ap-pearance by entertainer War-ren Johnson of Saskatoon. The balloon expert, who oper-ates under the business name of “Balloon Funn”, amazed a crowd of youngsters with his engaging patter while turn-ing out a variety of animals, swords, guns and hats. It was all part of “Splash Out” - an end-of-summer par-ty 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 stu-dents involved in the pro-gram for Grades 7 through 12.” The summer reading pro-gram has made the library one of the social centres for the younger generation, Hal-liwell 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 read-ing program aimed at teen-agers was very popular in Langham this summer. “We had a lot more teens signed up this year,” she not-ed. “I think it was because one of our kids in Langham won a grand prize from Wheatland last year, so that really pro-vided 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-li-brary 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 any book through any library system in the province, so that has real-ly increased the number and type of books available to the public.” Halliwell said the books that people order are de-livered 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 young-er 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 Li-brary card to a Wheatland Regional Library card at no cost.

(NC)̶Many of us, even those without children or in school themselves, view the fi rst 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 rec-ognize that the day af-ter Labour Day really is an opportunity to start fresh, shake off some bad habits and kick-start some new ones. As such, it's a great time to refl ect 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 hab-it by doing it with other peo-ple. In doing so, you'll feel more responsible to hold up your end of the bargain, so why not extend the resolu-tion to your entire family? Kids can get really excited about new activities and rit-uals, so take a moment and sit down together to brain-storm. By making it a fami-ly affair, you're setting your family up for success and hopefully instilling some life-long habits that will in-crease your health and well-being. The following are a few thought-starters, but the fun part is customizing and tai-loring the resolutions to your family:

1. Sit down together every morning for breakfast. Morn-ings 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. Ex-perts worldwide agree that breakfast is the most impor-tant meal of the day, for kids and adults alike. And ready-to-eat cereal is a nutritious, convenient and affordable choice. Plus, it's a great way to connect before the day be-gins and everyone goes their separate ways. More infor-mation about the benefi ts of choosing cereal can be found online at www.loveyourcere-al.ca. 2. Pick one TV show that you will all watch togeth-er every week. It could be a favourite sitcom, sports or even a cartoon, but sharing a laugh together and talking

A new school year is a fresh new start for families

about your favourite parts in the show is a really great way to make lasting mem-ories. Make this a must-at-tend event. Once the show is picked, everyone has to make

the time and a com-mitment 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 exer-cise and how fun

it can be. It could be a bike ride, walking, skating, roll-erblading, dancing in the family room or even a scav-enger hunt in the backyard, but setting aside at least 30 minutes a day for your kids to engage in physical activ-ity is a must. 4. Set chores for every-one. 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 dur-ing clean-up time, and they will more than likely contin-ue to do it.

Soon excited children will be walking, biking and jump-ing off of school buses all over the province, and drivers need to pay attention. Research shows that most child pedestrian related inju-ries occur in September and October, followed by May and June, and that children aged 5 to 14 years are at the greatest risk for pedestrian-related fatalities. "That goes for parents too," says David Dunne, di-rector of road safety pro-grams for the BCAA Road Safety Foundation. "Par-ents that drive their chil-dren to and from school are actually the biggest danger to child pedestrians and cyclists around schools. The conges-tion caused by so many vehi-cles creates a very dangerous environment." School staff and parents continue to report incidents of drivers making U-turns, stop-ping in no-stopping zones, backing up into crosswalks, rolling through stop signs, ig-noring the school safety pa-trollers, letting their children out from the driver's side into oncoming traffi c. The most common offence is still speeding says Dunne, who is pleased that the foun-dation's partner Preventable.ca will be asking drivers that speed through school zones to, "Have a word with yourself." during their back-to-school campaign that will be launch-ing September 6 to 9 in school zones in Surrey and Burnaby. Linda Lawlor, the BCAA Road Safety Foundation's school safety program coor-dinatorAU says that there is also a message for children who text or talk on their cell phones or have earphones on while walking or cycling to school. "Kids should not be talking or texting on their cell phones when they are in intersections or school zones because they become less aware of situa-tions around them when they are distracted by the use of

these devices." There is strong evidence from research with ten and eleven year old children that talking on a cell phone while crossing a street increases a child's risk of being struck by

a vehicle by up to one third. The Canadian Automo-

bile Association (CAA) is cel-ebrating 82 years as the larg-est sponsor of School Safety Patrol programs in Canada. Supporting local community-based programs across the nation, their Back to School Month awareness cam-paign focuses on safety tips and information for child pedestrians, cyclists and school bus riders. Serious or fatal inju-ry is preventable, if par-ents, caregivers and driv-ers take an active role in keeping all kids safe, says Lawlor who is pleased that schools around B.C. are implementing school safe-

ty patrol programs to help pro-tect their students.

(NC)̶We've all heard that break-fast is the most im-portant meal of the day - and it's true. Research reveals that people who skip breakfast don't make up for the missed nu-trients later in the day. But, how many of us follow that ad-vice and ensure that our kids eat it too? It's crucial to start your day with a nu-tritious 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 with-out eating, the body and brain need to refuel. A bal-anced breakfast not only kick-starts the metabolism, it sets us up for a more suc-cessful day. More than a quarter-century of research supports a positive link be-tween breakfast and mental alertness and physical per-formance. Families count on cereal for convenient, affordable nu-trition, too, making it a pop-ular breakfast choice among parents. In fact, ready-to-eat cereal is the preferred break-fast in many countries and the choices keep getting bet-ter. The taste, nutrition, sim-plicity and affordability of

Kellogg cereals ( just 50 cents a serving for cereal and milk) explain why they are a main-stay 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 nutri-ent dense food with many es-sential vitamins and minerals such as iron, B vitamins and zinc. Cereal also delivers the important benefi ts of grains, including fi bre. Add to that the fact that kids and adults who regularly eat cereal tend to have lower body mass in-dexes and are less likely to be overweight than those who eat cereal less frequently and parents can be confi dent that are choosing a healthy break-fast option. More information about the nutritional benefi ts of choosing cereal is available online at www.loveyourcere-al.ca.

Welcome back students!

(NC)̶Outfi tting a new dorm room can be an expen-sive and overwhelming expe-rience for both students and parents. Make things easy and affordable by using The Home Depot Canada's back-to-school essentials checklist.

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 every-thing from cafeteria left-overs to popcorn. Just make sure to check with your college or university to en-sure these small appliances are allowed in rooms.Storage solutions: There is no denying that dorms are small (and of-ten shared with a roommate and even more stuff!). Make the most of a tight space and keep clutter to a minimum by incorporating some sim-ple storage items. Keep socks, clothes, toiletries and clean-ing supplies out of sight with stylish fabric drawers from

The Martha Stewart Liv-ing Collection. And consider keeping bulky clothing in a Rubbermaid storage unit that fi ts perfectly under the bed.

STUDY SPACE:

To make late night pa-pers and exam cramming a breeze̶outfi t the room with a desk, bookcase and comfortable chair. Depend-ing on what's provided by the college or university, a traditional computer desk, or alternatively, a simple working table might be nec-essary. A desk chair should be comfortable and adjust-able, and if really tight on space, consider a slim verti-cal book shelf to hold text-books.

How to outfit the new dorm roomA place to sit: For larger dorm rooms, consider purchasing an ac-cent chair. A comfy club chair is perfect for curling up with a good book, while a classic parson's chair is ideal for com-

pany. Be sure to choose something that can be easily moved̶year two will come quickly!

ACCESSORIZE:Don't forget the essen-tials, including a waste paper basket, cloth-ing hangers and a mir-ror. Have some fun by choosing colourful op-tions that personalize the space. Make it your own on your own!

From vacation to homework Summer is not yet over and it’s back-to-school already. It isn’t always much fun, espe-cially 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 re-tiring 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 pos-sible. Even if school has start-ed and they have less time for swimming, don’t close the

pool immediately. Children are more resistant to the cold and they can enjoy the pool a bit longer. When the kids have less homework, let them play out-side a little longer; they will

spend a good part of fall and winter in the house. Bik-ing, swimming, picnics, hikes in the country, water excur-sions... Do not let the start of the school year put an end to your summer prematurely.

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

EXPERIENCED LINE COOK

A Great Place to Work! ditch and replacing the culverts to accommodate increased water fl ow will benefi t not only the town, but also landowners in the RM of Corman Park who experience fl ooding. 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 ac-commodate peak fl ows. 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 landown-ers 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 water-shed 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 fl ow 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 har-vest, when there will be less disruption to fi elds 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.”

OSLER DRAINAGE Continued from Page 7

villain whose sole purpose in life is to sabotage Sugar Lee’s every endeavour.; Bobby Dwayne Dil-lahunt (Bob Brophy), a loveable loser who happens to be Sugar Lee’s old high school fl ame; and Porter Padget (Rick Cran-ston), a mama’s boy who starts dating Carlene because of the thrill he gets ev-ery time he “cheats death” when he sur-vives another date. Each of the ac-tors have several moments in the play where they shine, but Debbie Larsen’s por-trayal of the simple-minded 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 en-gagement 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 ter-ritory. The lighting, sound, stage setting, and direction by Vick-ie Dyck are profes-sional, and it’s easy to forget that the pol-ished 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 advan-tage of the whole Barn Playhouse ex-perience: the country cooking, down-home live music, warm hos-pitality and beautiful prairie skies.

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 num-ber 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. Lari-anov was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008. Krutov didn’t even last a year in Vancouver.”

CAPRICORNA young relative is not doing as well as they could. Step in, Capricorn, and give them a hand. Changes in procedure at work get a project back on track.

AQUARIUSTechnical difficulties doom a project from the start. Take a breather, Aquarius, and look outside of your organization for help. A letter bears great news.

PISCESCharitable contributions start the week off right. Work to keep the momentum going, Pisces. A family heirloom returns where it belongs.

ARIESSuck it up, Aries. You may be tired, but you’re al-most there. Just a few more steps and your dream will be reality. An old school chum roots you on.

TAURUSFamily matters make for a trying but satisfy-ing week, Taurus. Creative solutions will emerge, compromises will be made and peace will reign once again.

GEMINIYou’ve tiptoed around someone long enough. Step up and tell them what you think, Gemini. Their bark is worse than their bite. An auto prob-lem is fixed.

CANCERIllness strikes but fades away quickly. Productiv-ity lags. Take a break to clear your head, Cancer. A conversation at home reveals a need that only you can fulfill.

LEOYoungsters clamor for your attention. Make time for them, Leo. A report receives glowing reviews from all involved. Celebrate with family.

VIRGOStand back and prepare to be amazed, Virgo. A colleague makes an important discovery, which will ultimately help you and everyone else on the team.

LIBRAPoor Libra. So much has changed you don’t know what to do. Turn to a trusted friend for advice. Pleas for more help around the house do not go unheard.

SCORPIODoggone it, Scorpio. Vacation plans fall through again. Perhaps it’s the planning that’s the prob-lem. Wing it the first chance you get and see what happens.

SAGITTARIUSSkipping a step is not a good idea, Sagittarius. You may be short on time, but thoroughness could mean the difference between success and failure.

On a very hot August 22nd, Maymont Se-niors hosted 18 from Borden and 9 from Radis-son for an afternoon program and supper. Kay Greenslade welcomed everyone and introduced the musical entertainment lined up for the af-ternoon. Playing a variety of old favourites were Walt Dumont, Vern Hawkness & Dave Hiebert of Hafford, Tom Caldwell, Mel Daegnon and Bert Carpenter from Maymont and Howard Bulmer of Richard. After the fi rst set Kay told some jokes, Sarah Beaudoin and Elsie Vogeli had read-ings then 10 door prizes were drawn for, fol-lowed by Howard Bulmer singing a few songs including some yodelling and Marion Doehl of Maymont sang two pieces. The musical group entertained with a few more songs, the rest of the door prizes were given out, and the 50/50 dart thrown at the pie plate hit the names of Henry Derksen of Borden and Lily Moskalyk of Radisson , each winning $10. A cold plate sup-per with angel cake, strawberries & ice cream for dessert was enjoyed by all & extending thanks from their clubs was Louise Clark from Radisson and Lorraine Olinyk from Borden.BORDEN GOLF TOURNEY The Borden Community Centre Preservation

Committee held a golf tournament at the Bor-den Golf Course on August 27th, with 19 golfers registering for the Texas Scramble format. The committee had a concession booth selling bun-wiches, pie, chips & drinks. The committee pre-sented President Dianne Sylvester with a potted plant for all of her hard work in organizing the event and for her birthday which was the 28th. Golf win-ners with a score of 63 were the team of Bob Herter, Rod Neufeld, Don & Tyrell Block, win-ning in the ladies was Sheri Mc-Cutcheon, Riley Poole

& Jeannette Block, tied for 2nd with scores of 64 was the team of Scott & Cole Sutherland, Ian & Connor Wainwright and the team of Austin Harpham, Eugene Wiens, Vern Sylvester and Arnold Meister and in 3rd place was the team of Grant Therrien, Dave Buckingham, Graham & Murray Derbowka with a score of 69. Long drives went to Cole for juniors, Scott for men & Jeannette Block for ladies; closest to pin was Connor, Bob Herter & Riley Poole, longest putt to Cole, Ed and Sheri. Three teams: Herter’s, Scott’s and Grant’s teams eagled at least one hole and they all got an extra prize. BORDEN LIBRARY The Borden Lakeland Library held a wiener roast fundraiser at the Borden sports ground on August 24th. James Steele playing his fi ddle for a number of tunes such as Red River Jig, Emma Lake 2 Step and Orange Blossom Spe-cial and then at dusk the double feature movie started outdoors. There was also popcorn and drinks to purchase for watching the movies ‒ fi rst one featuring Rio ‒ an animated fi lm about a tropical bird that goes to Rio de Janerio to be paired up with a female so their breed won’t become extinct and all of his adventures there. The second fi lm was called Marley and Me and is the romantic comedy of a puppy and his ad-ventures.FAREWELL TO FAMILY Borden bid farewell to the Bigland/Pritchard Family ‒ Mark, Rev. Jan and Anna, on August 28th with a program and lunch in the Borden Community Centre. Emcee was John Buswell who welcomed everyone to this sad and happy event, and told when Rev. Jan had her fi rst service at the River Valley Angli-can Parish January 16, 2005, and she related how she got lost coming from Rosthern and was 40 minutes late her fi rst time- but they all stayed and waited for her. Jan also worked for the Prairie Centre for Ecumenism in Saskatoon half time. On behalf of the Youth Group George Hembery thanked Jan for all of her involve-ment and Gayle Wensley, her co-founder of the group, said that they would all miss her at their weekly events and a gift of a suncatcher and plaque was presented to Jan. Alan Hosegood told of a funny story that happened at church and how they are all sorry to see her go.

On behalf of the Borden Lion’s Bob Ward-haugh spoke about Mark’s work with the Lion’s and his service to the community, his great piano playing for Archies Angels and thanked him for his efforts and friend-ship. Helen Sutherland spoke on behalf of the community- their willingness to get in-volved, work with Lions, Youth, school, Jan’s friendly smile and listening ear and she was always willing to put her money where her mouth is. Helen closed with an Irish Bless-ing and her and Jean Hryniuk presented the family with a gift of money. Delbert Enns and Clive Wensley spoke on behalf of St. John’s Anglican church- saying that Jan always kept tab of what was going on in the com-munity, started to bring younger people into the church by way of the Youth Group and it has been a wonderful 6+ years to have had her wisdom and her pleasing way of bringing everyone the words of the Lord. On behalf of the church they presented a collection of 5 sketches in one frame of the fi ve churches she served in the River Valley Parish. The Anglican Church Choir sang two selections ‒ Thank You Lord (to Edelweiss tune) and Our Best to You. Anna thanked everyone for mak-ing her feel so welcome when they arrived from England in 2005, enjoyed her years at school in Borden and going to Redberry Bible Camp, then Mark thanked everyone for their welcome and for attending today, the care and support they have found living in a small town and hopes not to lose touch with the community.

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 fulfi ll her dream and blessed her richly. The fi rst 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 Par-ish on behalf of the Diocese and it must have been hard work-ing 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.

The Warman Thrift Store welcomes donations of good clean clothing,

furniture and other items in good condition. But people need to be aware that the store can’t take every-thing, according to store manager Sheila Friesen. “When people call me about do-nations, I stress to them that they need to bring them to the back door of the shop during business hours,” Friesen ex-plained. “We appreciate good used items,” But some so-called dona-tions are not welcome. “Unfortunately, we always seem to end up with a lot of discarded items that people

drop off in the alley behind our shop on weekends and after hours,” said Friesen. “Some people just want to get rid of their junk.” Friesen said the volun-teers and part-time staff at

the thrift store do their best to keep the problem under control, but it’s expen-sive. “In the month of June alone, we had to spend $728 just to haul junk to the landfi ll,” she

said. “And that doesn’t include our volunteers’ time and la-bour or the cost of gas if we have to use our own truck.” Friesen said the thrift store is a community ser-vice that is operated by the Mennonite Central Commit-tee (MCC). Money raised by the sale of items at the store

By TERRY [email protected]

Thrift store encourages donations of good itemsBut unwanted junk creates problem is used by the MCC for a

variety of projects, includ-ing relief efforts in Canada and overseas during emer-gencies and natural disas-ters, health campaigns, and projects aimed at ensuring people have clean water and healthy food. A full list of projects is available at the MCC website online at www.mcc.org . “Our mission is to help people locally, nationally and internationally,” ex-plained Friesen. “We wel-come donations and we encourage people to make donations so the money can be used for a good purpose. But we do have expenses, like junk removal, and we try to keep those costs to a minimum.” She says it’s important for people to respect the rules. Recently, video moni-toring cameras were set up in the alley behind the store, and the Town of Warman bylaw offi cer will be enforc-

ing the town bylaw on littering. “It’s not MCC policy to pros-ecute,” explained Friesen, “but the town will be enforcing its bylaws.” She said the store is always in need of good clean clothing, furniture, and toys. “But we have to ensure that everything we put on the fl oor is in a con-dition where it is sell-able,” she said. “We have to be aware of all the recalls on toys and cribs and abide by the safety regu-lations. That’s why we have a shipper/receiver at the back door, so the donated items can be examined beforehand.” Over 60 volunteers donate countless hours of labour to en-sure the goods are clean and in good repair, noted Friesen. “We have many ladies in the com-munity who sew patches to-gether from clothing remnants and make blankets that the MCC sends to the needy. We just took a load of 50 blankets to the MCC offi ce on Avenue C in Saskatoon where they are baled and shipped off..”

Sheila Friesen, Manager of the Warman Thrift Store, (inset) says it is important for donors to follow the store’s policy of having deliveries made during regular business hours. She says too often people dispose of garbage in the alley behind the store (top photo), and that reduces the amount of money that can be used for charitable causes championed by the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). (Above) Thrift Store volunteers Sarah Neufeld, Velma Kanasiaro, Anne Peters, Alvina Klassen and Lena Janzen take a break in the staff room.

After a disappointing fi nish last year, the Saskatoon Blades are

turning the page on a brand new Western Hockey League (WHL) season. “It’s been a long sum-mer,” admitted Blades Head Coach Lorne Molleken at a press conference last week on the eve of the team’s train-ing camp in Martensville. “Our team accompished a lot of great things last year and we’re very proud of that. But we also learned some valu-able lessons.” The Blades fi nished fi rst in the WHL East Division last season, but were unceremoni-ously dumped in the second round of playoffs by the Koo-tenay Ice. Molleken said the Blades’ winning record over the reg-ular season may have worked against them when it came to post-season play. “We knew how hard it is to win in the playoffs, but for the most part, during the reg-ular season at times things might have happened a little easy for us,” he said. “Once

Blades bid for Memorial CupBy TERRY [email protected]

Jack Brodsky has October 12 circled on his calendar. That’s the day the West-ern Hockey League (WHL) Board of Governors makes a decision on the location of the 2013 Memorial Cup tour-nament. And while the owner of the Saskatoon Blades is confi -dent the Bridge City will come out on top, Brodsky knows the other two centres com-peting for the event, Red Deer and Kelowna, will be pulling out all the stops. “Most of the people on our bid committee were also involved in our successful bid to host the World Junior Tour-nament in 2010,” he noted in an interview in the Saskatoon Blades dressing room at Cred-it Union Centre on August 24. “We think we have a lot going for us.” Brodsky said the Blades are projected to have a com-petitive team for the 2012-13 season, but he admitted there wll have to be some “tweaking” by the coaching and management staff in the meantime. “That’s part of the short-listing process,” he said. “You have to have a real strong

club in order to be the host team. But our other strenths include our faciity, our fan base, our volunteers, and the fact that we had a lot of suc-cess hosting the World Junior tournament.” Brodsky said the bid for the Memorial Cup has been in the works “for about 25 years” - ever since the last time it was held in Saskatoon in 1989. “Actually, we were very seriously considering hosting it in 2010,” Brodsky said. “But we got in a position where we had to make a choice. We de-cided to bid for the World Ju-niors instead.” Once that event was over, Brodsky said the bid com-mittee turned its attention to making a serious effort to se-cure the 2013 Memorial Cup. He added the knowl-edge and experience gained in hosting the World Juniors should be a big advantage for the Saskatoon bid committee. “We saw with the World Juniors what a great hockey community this is,” he con-cluded. “If we get it, there won’t be anyone in Saskatoon and area who isn’t aware the Memorial Cup is coming to town, and they’ll be very ex-cited about it.”

It’s Miller Time. The Saskatchewan Roughriders got back to work from the bye week with a Sunday practice at Mosa-ic Stadium and a new head coach at the helm. Exactly 10 days after the fi rings of head coach Greg Marshall and offensive co-ordinator Doug Berry, Rider V.P. of Football Operations Ken Miller was directing the troops as the man now in charge of both roles. Quarterback Darian Durant was vocal in his sup-port of Miller after the moves and performed with a spring in his step on Sunday. “It was a pretty good day,” Durant offered. “I’m glad and it’s good to see Coach back out there. You can tell he’s been itching to get back out there. He’s having fun and the team’s having fun. It’s a new beginning so to speak.” It’s a new beginning but the situation hasn’t changed. The Riders are a CFL-worst

1-7 and their fi rst two games in the new Miller era are against the best team in the CFL, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers beginning with Sunday’s Labour Day Classic. “We recognize what we have to do,” Durant admitted. “There have been changesmade but the game doesn’t change. We still have to ex-ecute, make plays and get wins by any means neces-sary. That’s our goal. Guys are excited to be back and we’re just ready to get back to work.” Under Greg Marshall it was diffi cult to pinpoint the reason for the team’s strug-gles. Was it too diffi cult to adjust to a new coach? Or

had the team’s talent pool dwindled to the point that we were foolish to expect any more than their record showed? We can all agree the team’s effort was sub-par in the majority of its games however many feel Miller’s re-turn to the sidelines will give the squad the shot-in-the-arm it needs as they approach the remaining 10 games. “You notice I’m smiling right now,” said veteran DB Lance Frazier. “It’s a different vibe right now. Coach Miller is like your grandfather and we call him Grandpa. It’s just that fatherly touch, the loose-ness about him and his sense of humour. He gave a wonder-

ful speech before the practice about what the Riders mean. You can feel the looseness in the locker room and there’s a momentum swing already. He said the past is in the past and it’s time to look forward.” With the fi rings, Miller has assumed a monstrous amount of pressure to turn things around and just as much onus is on the players to prove the ouster or Mar-shall and Berry was justifi ed. Day by day Miller will try to motivate and guide this club to a third-straight Grey Cup appearance. “First of all to establish direction from this point for-ward,” Miller said of his im-mediate task. “We’re not ac-customed to being in the position we’re in. Just to take some steps to lay some groundwork for taking the fi rst step today and looking forward to tomorrow.” And just how will it all turn out? We’re about to fi nd out.

the playoffs started, we didn’t compete the way we needed to. Getting knocked out in the second round was very disap-pointing.”

The coaching staff chalked it up to experience, but they also kept the chalk-boards busy in the off-season. “We had in-depth meet-

ings throughout the summer with the players,” Molleken noted. “They know they don’t

want to go through that again, and they understand now the importance of pay-ing a price to succeed.” One of the big successes last year was the return of the crowds to the rink, par-tiuclarly towards the end of the season when the club traded for home-town star Braydon Schenn. “Winning obviously plays a big part in getting the crowds out,” confi rmed Molleken. “When we made the trade for Schenn, the ex-citement around this city was unbelievable. He fi t in quite nicely with our hockey club and it was an exciting place to be. It just goes to show that our fans here in Saskatoon are second to none.”

TRAINING CAMP AN OPPORTUNITY

Molleken said every year brings new challenges, and he’s looking forward to work-ing with the young prospects who made it onto the team’s roster and 5-man protected list after training camp. “We have 16 players re-turning from last year, in-cluding the four players who were drafted by the NHL,” said Molleken. “This year we’re expecting 75 players for training camp. All of us are looking forward to watch-ing our young prospects push our veteran players.” Among the 75 prospects at training camp were three former players with the Mar-tensville AA program: Carson

Boehm, Teal Sob-kowicz and Nel-son Nogier. Molleken said the three-day training camp doesn’t provide a lot of time for young players to make an impres-sion. “It’s a very short period of opportunity for these kids to show what they’re capable of doing,” he confi rmed. “There are some nerves going into it, but the guys have to make adjustments as quickly as possible and concentrate on their strengths.” Molleken said the talent level among players is rough-ly equal, so he looks for cer-tain qualities that aren’t as readily apparent. “What I look for is play-ers that are willing to com-pete and pay a price to suc-ceed,” he said. “I’m after the players that want to take that extra step. Our scouts have a lot of input, because they’re the guys that watch the pros-pects all winter. But at train-ing camp, we get the opportu-nity to see all these players in one venue. After the fi rst cou-ple days, it comes down to a question of numbers, and we make the cuts after the intra-squad game.”

VETERANS RETURNING The returning Blades who were drafted by the NHL in-clude: Matthew Stransky (Dallas Stars), Darian Dzi-urzynski (Pheonix Coyotes), Duncan Siemens (Colorado

Avalanche) and Darren Dietz (Montreal Canadiens). Two other Blades, Chris Collins (Phoenix Coyotes) and Brent Benson (Carolina Hurricanes) attended NHL club training camps. The head coach said it’s still unclear whether Dziurz-inski, a 20-year old, will be back in the lineup this year. “It depends on a few things,” he noted. Molleken said the team will also be bolstered by the addition of Andrey Makaraov, a Russian goaltender who was picked up in the disper-sal of the major junior team in Lewiston, Maine, earlier this year.

SEASON STARTS SOON The team will play 5 exhi-bition games against Moose Jaw, Swift Current and Prince Albert before kicking off its regular season September 23 against the Prince Albert Raiders. The fi rst exhibition game on Saturday, September 3, is free of charge, and takes place at Credit Union Centre.

The best thing about playing for the Saskatchewan Roughriders is the legion of fans and the passion they bring to the games, accord-ing to Darian Durant, quar-terback for the CFL team. “You guys are something special,” Durant told a ca-pacity crowd at the 5th annual Sports Celebri-ty Dinner and Auction in Warman last Thursday. “The support for the team not just in Regina but across the province is just tremendous,” he added. And what’s the worst thing about being a Rider? “The fans,” admitted Durant. “When we’re 1 and 7 and losing games, it’s a little rough.” Durant said in his six seasons with the team, he’s come to understand the depth of feeling that pre-vails across Saskatchewan for the Green and White. “It’s not like the fans re-allly hate us,” he commented. “They just hate the fact that we’re losing. We understand that, and we hate the fact that we’re losing too. We all feel the same as you do.” The difference is that the players are able to do some-thing about it, he added. “The attitude we have to have is: what are we going to do do to change the crit-ics’ opinions, and change how our fans feel about us?” Durant said. “You guys are going to be passionate and it’s our job to put on a show for you. We’re struggling right now, but our attitude is, we are going to change things up real fast.” Roughriders star receiver Weston Dressler agreed that playing for the Riders is a unique experience. “I’ve never been part of anything like it as far as the fan base and the support they bring to the team is con-cerned,” Dressler told the crowd. “As far as being scruti-nized by the fans and the me-dia, it’s all part of profession-al sports. It’s going to happen, and as players we learn to deal with it. The important thing is that we stick together as a team through the good times and the bad.” In the wake of the shake-up that saw head coach Greg Marshall and Offensive Co-ordinator Doug Berry fi red, there’s an atmosphere of confi dence among the play-ers in the locker room, noted Durant. He said the team is hap-py to have former head coach Ken Miller back at the helm, and is confi dent they can win their next contest against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers dur-ing the Labour Day weekend.CROSBY A LEADER Mark Letestu of the Pitts-burgh Penguins and Colby Armstrong of the Toronto Maple Leafs provided in-sights into what it is like to play on the same team as Sid-ney Crosby. “He’s someone I look up to, even though he’s two years younger than me,” not-ed Letestu, who broke into the NHL the same year that Crosby did. “I spent a lot of time with him that year, when I fi rst signed with the Penguins. He’s a special play-er and a speical human being. He’s the face of the NHL right

now, and he’s exactly right for that role because he handles the responsiblity well.” Armstrong said Crosby is the kind of player who el-evates the game of those around him. “Just watching how Sid practices, he puts everything he’s got into the game,” he said.

AUCTION FILLS COFFERS A silent auction through-out the evening brought in thousands of dollars in funds for the WSCV project, but it was the live auction conduct-ed by Grant Brunen at the end off the evening that injected the big money. A Mark Letestu jersey went for $1600; a Mark Mess-ier jersey brought in $750; a Weston Dressler jersey netted $2300; a Jerrell Freeman jer-sey went for $1200, a Colby Armstrong jersey brought in $1800. A Darian Durant jer-sey netted $4800. Two Trev-or Linden jerseys each sold for $8000.

Fifteen year old Bodhi Edie competes against racers who may have years on him age-wise, but many of them don’t actually have more ex-perience. He’s been riding motorcy-cles for ten years, and start-ed winning national titles in mini roadracing at the age of ten. For the past three years, he’s spent his sum-mers racing in the Cana-dian Superbike (CSBK) Parts Canada national se-ries, and he’s turning a lot of heads. A grade ten student this fall at Warman High School, Bodhi plays de-fense in the Warman mi-nor hockey league, and keeps his racing skills sharp riding a motocross bike on an ice track all winter long. But his passion is roadracing, competing on sport-style motorcy-cles on road courses across Canada. For the past two years, he’s raced a Honda CBR600RR both nationally in the CSBK series, and in a re-gional series at Edmonton’s Stratotech Park. Bodhi’s performance in last year’s race season put him in the top fi ve fi nishers nationally, and he won his class championship at Stra-totech, which meant he could no longer race as an amateur, but had to step up to compete in the pro/expert classes in 2011. “To earn your pro license by fi nishing among the top amateurs when you’re four-teen years old is pretty cool,” says Edie, “and I knew that it would mean I’d get to race against another whole level of talent this year.”

To be able to do so, Edie’s race team, comprising mainly his dad, Devin, as crew chief and head technician, went to work over the winter last year to secure the sponsorship re-quired to mount a pro racing effort. “We knew we’d be up against teams with a lot more resources than we have, both in terms of money and ex-

pertise”, says Devin, “and we were fortunate to have some really key supporters step up and help us out.” Thanks to sponsorship from a benefactor known as “Elmer”, Edie Racing was able to have the motor powering Bodhi’s national race bike professionally re-built by the leading expert in the indus-try, Scott Miller of Fast Com-pany. “Having Scott build our engine really made the differ-ence in allowing me to be in the mix in the top fi ve right from early on in the season,” says Bodhi, “and that was key. Honda Canada also came on and gave us some support to supplement our tire budget, which is important, consid-ering we can go through four

sets of tires in a race week-end.” The Edie’s took their show and their Fast Company en-gine on the road, travelling to seven rounds of CSBK nation-al action, starting in Quebec in May, and visiting tracks in Ontario, Quebec again, and Nova Scotia before wrapping up the series with an excit-

ing double header race weekend August 20th and 21st back in On-tario at the legendary Mosport Internation-al Raceway. “We were able to get friends of ours from Toolee Mo-torsports to come on board and help haul our bike and tools from round to round in East-ern Canada,” says Bo-dhi, “which was really the only way we could do the whole national series.” Edie’s national CSBK season got off to a slow start when the fi rst round at Mirabel, QC’s Circuit ICAR was rained

out, and all riders were al-lotted the same points to discourage jostling for posi-tion on the wet and danger-ous track. But from there, he started his campaign for the Pro Rookie of the Year title with strong top fi ve fi nishes that put him in the lead in the rookie points race. His com-ing out party turned out to be at Shubenacadie, NS’s Atlan-tic Motorsports Park in early August, where he qualifi ed on the front row of his Pro Sport-bike class, and in the top ten competitors in the Superbike class where he was racing against 1000cc machines. Bodhi earned his fi rst na-tional pro podium that week-end, fi nishing third in the Sportbike class, and also be-

gan to garner attention from people in the paddock who were realizing that this rook-ie didn’t just have his eye on top rookie honours, he was ready to challenge for race wins. The next big break in Bo-dhi’s season came when Scott Miller got back in touch af-ter seeing Bodhi’s results in Nova Scotia. He offered to set Bodhi’s CBR600 up with a top of the line racing suspension package from K-Tech, and to come out to the fi nal rounds at Mosport and help with set-up and tuning on the bike. “Having Scott Miller with us in the pits at Mosport gave me a little taste of what a fac-tory team is like, and it was very cool,” says Bodhi, “He was there to get my feed-back every time I came off the track from practice or af-ter the race, and was telling me that we were just starting and that we could still do bet-

ter and go faster. It was awe-some!” With the help from Fast Company and K-Tech, Edie was able to earn his top qual-ifying spot ‒ third ‒ of the season in the Pro Sportbike class, and another third place podium fi nish on day one of the doubleheader weekend. In his own words, “I got a wicked start”, and he led the fi rst few laps of the race. On Sunday’s fi nal race of the sea-son, Bodhi led a portion of the race again, and fi nished fourth, just four tenths of a second behind the race win-ner. He secured the title for 2011 Pro Rookie of the Year by earning the most points of all pro rookies over the season, and fi nished tied for third in overall points in the Pro Sportbike class. He is the youngest winner of the Pro Rookie title in Canadian na-tional racing history. Edie will fi nish out the fall

by completing the last rounds of the Edmonton Motorcycle Roadracing Association’s se-ries at Stratotech, where he is currently leading the points toward his fi rst expert class championship title. “We’re enjoying our ac-complishments from this year, before we have to start thinking about next year,” concludes Bodhi, “the best thing would be a place on a factory team, for sure, but there aren’t too many of those available these days, so we’ll see what the off-season brings!” Edie Racing thanks their key sponsors ‒ Fast Compa-ny, K-Tech, Acceleration Rac-ing, Honda Canada, Toolee Motorsports, Elmer, Parts Canada, Novakoski Paint and Body, and also our supporters ‒ Meidl Honda Powerhouse, JDS Decals, Jay Fox and the AMRA, Wurth, Choo-it, and the Antle Family.
