The next regular meeting of Town Council is scheduled for May 19 at 7:00pm. The annual ratepayers’ supper and meeting was held at the McLean hall on Friday April 3rd with 90 persons including councillors, staff and guests, in attendance. George MacPherson was the chairman for the evening. It had been reported to council that a large number of dead cattle have been left in a field. This prompted obvious concerns about disease and predators, and the department of agriculture and the Food Inspection Agency were contacted to look into the matter. Preliminary budget discussions were held, but the mill rate cannot be set until after April 15th, by which date we should receive information from the province regarding revenue sharing for this year. A special meeting of council will be held on April 21st to finalise the budget, and to attend to other items of outstanding business. In his report Reeve Ken MacPherson gave some facts and figures of last year’s activities, including the number of yards of gravel used for a total cost of $78,476.00. The administrator reported on projects in the plans for this year, including the expansion of the RM office. The cost for this will be covered by a grant from the Municipal Economic Enhancement Program. Council approved a motion to hire Keith Engineering to prepare the blueprint for the office expansion. Gravel crushing and hauling will be awarded to the same contractors as last year, who have offered last years prices. The Guest speaker, MP Andrew Scheer, gave an interesting address about his work in parliament and answered many questions on matters of concern to residents. Our MLA, Minister of Health Don McMorris, also attended the meeting. Various items of correspondence were circulated for the information of councillors, including new policy wording for the SARM excess liability insurance. The regular council meeting was held on May 7th. Tenders for the bridge replacement project were received and opened, but no tender was awarded, as council had some concerns about the design of the work. Councillors went to inspect the site, and further questions will be put to the engineer, the Ministry of highways and to the RMs solicitor before the tender is awarded. Councillor Whalen reported on the recent regional library meeting. Provincial library funding has been increased by 2.5 percent, but there will also be a 50 cent per capita increase in the library levy. This will amount to $9,018 for 2009 for our RM. One ongoing subdivision application and one new application were approved. For further information, ratepayers should call the office at 699-2257.

Volume 9 Issue 5 Page 4 The Regional Science Fair School News Administrator’s Message The other day, bright and early, I was on my way to school and who did I see but Harvey Betteridge on the grounds of the Kiddies Park with garbage bag and garbage picker in tow. When I stopped to chat with him I found out that such was his morning ritual, and when I lamented over the environmental efforts of our kids, I noticed there was no garbage barrel…. to which Harvey suggested he could get one. I proceeded to talk about the problem with garbage pick up wherein Harvey mentioned he could put a garbage bag in the barrel and empty it regularly. As I left I marveled at what a fine citizen of our community Harvey is. He does what he does not for any thanks or attention, not for self benefit, but simply because he knows it’s a good thing to do. That’s what makes communities strong and what we want for all of our kids. Accordingly, JHS has a strong focus on service activities (town cleanups, flower planting, tree planting, recycling projects), relationship building activities (school family events, senior lunches, cross grade buddies, positive mail), and leadership activities (greetings, assemblies, charities) because we want our kids to be well rounded citizens who do the right thing. We know that doing things for the well being of others and for the betterment of the community be it school, town or world will make this world a better place for all. Celebration of Learning and Multiple Intelligences JHS invites all parents, caregivers, family and friends to our seventh annual Celebration of Learning on May 20 at 7:30 p.m. This evening has been set aside to celebrate and acknowledge all of our students’ strengths under the umbrella of the multiple intelligences. We believe all of our students are important, possess talents and are worthy of recognition. Research has led to the identification of eight intelligences: visual- spatial (art smart); musical- rhythmic (music smart); bodily-kinaesthetic (movement smart); naturalist (outdoors smart); interpersonal (reflective smart); intrapersonal (people smart); verbal -linguistic (book smart) and logical-mathematical (numbers smart) existentialist (world thinking smart). We have found that for our world to function in an efficient, fun and caring manner all intelligences are necessary. Imagine a world filled only with scientists, musicians, naturalists or mathematicians etc. Obviously, the world would look very different than it does today and there would be considerable voids. Diversity, truly, is what makes our world so interesting and a functional place to live. On Tuesday March 31, 2009, Greenhall High School in Balgonie hosted the Regional Science Fair. James Hamblin School sent along six exhibits from its own science fair held earlier that month to the competition. The students who attended demonstrated great participation in the day’s activities and exemplified our well known JHS spirit! Students who competed were: Josiah VanOpstal with a Dry Ice exhibit Taylor Walker with a Caffeine exhibit Samantha Whittingham with a Nail in Coke experiment Tiana Gamble with a Human Tooth and Coke experiment Brayden Eidem with a Bump Key exhibit Mariah Fries and Tori Hardock with a Fast Food Mold experiment These students did a great job of exploring their own knowledge and creating new knowledge from the world around them. JHS is very proud of each participant and their efforts! We would like to congratulate Samantha Whittingham on receiving a Bronze medal in the Physical and Mathematical Junior Division and Mariah Fries and Tori Hardock for receiving the Bronze medal in the Life Sciences Junior Division. Awesome work by awesome students!

Time passes, lonely, difficult, empty, heartbreaking days and nights. Time passes, days and nights filled with loving memories, gratitude, and thankfulness. To simply say “thank-you” doesn’t seem enough—yet how can we ever fully express our appreciation and gratefulness for all the kindnesses, generosity, understanding, patience, words of encouragement and support, given in love to us through visits, cards and letters, phone calls, gifts of flowers, food and time, emotional support, donations to the Kinrade-Malbeuf Children’s Trust Fund, Dorrie’s spouse Brent Malbeuf and their boys, Jaden, Harley, and Rylan Kinrade-Malbeuf are learning how to travel new paths in life without Dorrie—Mom. Dorrie’s sister Amy Kenway and brother Scott Kinrade and their families have the gift of remembering times shared with Dee. Dorrie’s mom Shelby Kinrade smiles when she remembers “her baby”. While Dorrie’s time with us was not long, only 29 years, she gave much of herself to many and left us with love—for her and each other. -and the Greatest of These is Love With love, Dorrie’s family Don Mc Morris Minister of Health MLA Indian Head-Milestone Constituency I invite you to call Or drop by the office With any questions or concerns you may have.

Hippity - Hoppity Easter was on its way as the grade nine leadership class donned bunny ears, pink noses and lots of goodies for the Easter treat hunt they put on for the elementary students. What a great group of leaders! A warm welcome was extended to author Mary Harelkin-Bishop for her visit and presentation to our elementary students. She is the well know author of the Tunnel series based in Moose Jaw. EARTH was the theme as our students met in school family groups on Earth Day, listened to a letter from Mother Earth and responded with their promises to do their part in protecting our Earth. Marcel Shevalier, an addictions counselor from the Regina Qu’Appelle Health District, captivated our grades 6-9 with his stories and advice about nicotine and addictions.

Good Luck, Ladies! H m-m-m let’s see who is lurking behind those masks. On April 30 the students had a blast adorning themselves with masks at our masquerade spirit day. Ending April on a high was the JHS Drama performance of The Fez. Congratulations to the staff and students who worked so hard to put on this amazing performance. Once again, JHS you have done us proud! Harley, Rylan, Jaden TROY NURSERY SCHOOL MacKenzie Art Gallery Exhibition at JHS Troy Nursery School Co-operative was formed by a group of local parents more than 25 years ago, who saw a need for an organized preKindergarten program in our community. It has evolved over the years, making the move into an empty classroom at James Hamblin School 5 years ago. The Mackenzie Art Gallery of Regina, through its Provincial Outreach Program, is pleased to bring the exhibition, Inuit Art: The Williamson Collection. The Board of Directors for Troy Nursery School has always been made up of parents of the students. And since students are only there for two years, at the most, there is a constant turn-over of board members. Consequently, it is an on-going learning process for all involved. In an effort to foster a little continuity, Troy Nursery School would like to change the composition of their board. They are proposing to have a few members who would be on the board for a specified term, whether they have children enrolled or not. Other positions on the board would be filled by parents of current students, thus having input from those directly affected, as well as the continued knowledge of operations of the long-term board members. bear with such force that, on the surface at least, it seemed that a century’s long way of life ceased in less than two decades. For the Everyone is invited to consider this volunteer opportunity: parents, grandparents, guardians, young and old, long-time residents of Qu’Appelle, newcomers, urban and rural. If you think this is right for you, or you have any questions, please call Kelsey at 699-7323. The Williamson collection was assembled during the many years Dr. Robert Williamson spent living among the Inuit, researching their culture. His arrival in the North in 1952 coincided with the beginning of a period of great change. The forces of acculturation were brought to older artists certainly, Williamson was aware that much of traditional culture persisted and that this contemporary art form provided an avenue for meaningful communication. Even for many of the younger artists, the production of art which reflected traditional lifestyles, attitudes and beliefs became, in part, a means of cultural affirmation. The works on display were chosen from eighty-five recently donated to the MacKenzie Art Gallery by Dr. Robert Williamson.

The proposed calendar structure is designed around 930 hours of student contact time, utilizing a 310 minute day for 180 days per school year and representing an overall increase in student contact time of up to 40 hours in some schools. This is directly reflective of the need for increased contact time between students and teachers across the division, as identified in the Calendar Year Review Final Report, authored by Dr. Larry Sackney. The recommended 310 minute day calendar option was presented to the board by a 22 person Internal Working School Calendar Review Committee earlier this year. The Calendar Year Review consultation process included eight regional public meetings as well as meetings with administrators, teachers and staff. Board Chair Janet Kotylak said, “Data was collected during the consultation process, from the table groups at the public and staff consultations, individual responses, comments provided through the online feedback form, by email and by phone. The board used the feedback to modify the proposed 310 calendar model to incorporate some of the lifestyle preferences, such as a February break, identified as important to parents and staff, while still staying true to the belief statements on student engagement, student learning and student achievement.” Kotylak said, “The board’s decision is supportive of the seven belief statements developed by the Calendar Review Committee to enhance student learning, one of which states that the division believes in a united Prairie Valley School Division that honours the diversity of our individual schools and communities within the unifying framework of a culture of learning.” Information on the 2009-2010 school year calendar is available on the Prairie Valley School Division website at www.pvsd.ca. Under the new model, all Prairie Valley students will return to school after Labour Day on September 8, 2009.

In this fast moving world of turmoil and tension, With problems and troubles, too many to mention, Our days are so crowded and our hours are so few, There’s so little time and so much to do. . .We are pressured and pushed until we are “dizzy,” There’s never a minute we’re not “crazily busy,” And sometimes we wonder as we rush through the day--Does God really want us to hurry this way? Why are we impatient and continually vexed, And often bewildered, disturbed and perplexed? Perhaps we’re too busy with our own selfish seeking To hear the dear Lord when He’s tenderly speaking. . . We are working so tensely in our selfcentered way, We’ve no time for listening to what God has to say, And hard as we work at the end of the day We know in our hearts we did not “pay our way” . . . But God in His mercy looks down on us all And though what we’ve done is so pitifully small, He makes us feel welcome to kneel down and pray For the chance to do better as we start a new day, And life would be better if we learned to rely On our Father in heaven without asking “Why” . . . And if we’d remember as we rush through the day, “The Lord is our Shepherd and He’ll lead the way” . . . So don’t rush ahead in reckless endeavor, Remember “He leadeth” and “time is forever”! … let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith Hebrews 12: 1, 2 Helen Steiner Rice Submitted by: Shirley Priddell Page 18 Volume 9 Issue 5 33rd Annual Pioneer Supper Qu’Appelle District Lions Club A busy month the Lions Club.

News Submitted by April Nichol Creekside Gardens is a beautiful, peaceful oasis located on the east side of our community. At the end of March, a shocking act of vandalism occurred at the site, and it has left the owners upset and puzzled. Pictures show what was done to a greenhouse, chairs and tables, with the tables taking the brunt of the destruction. As this was not the first time Creekside Gardens had been vandalized over the winter months, the RCMP are investigating. The owners have worked very hard over the past few years to make this a lovely spot for Qu’Appelle residents and visitors to enjoy. The grounds are immaculate, the campground is wellequipped, and the area is very generously offered as the location of Qu’Appelle’s Canada Day celebrations. It would be a shame and a disgrace if we lost this amenity in our town, simply because a few selfish people decided to be so immature and destructive! The FFOH held their 7th annual Ladies Night Out and Auction fundraiser on March 21, 2009. The event was held in the Lions Community Hall this year and proved to be another huge success, raising over $7500.00, a new record! Some of the highlights of the evening included the many great auction items to bid on, a delicious desert buffet and entertainment from country music singer Brandy Young of Vibank. This year there was also a Diamond Balloon pop where although all balloons presented a prize, one lucky lady went home with a $300 gift certificate to Fire and Ice Jewellery in Regina. Perhaps one of the most entertaining segments was the auctioning off of male table servers for the evening! A very special Thanks to the gentlemen who were gracious enough to serve our patrons desert, beverages and even provide safe rides home! Forever Friends would like to thank all those that came out to support this event and look forward to planning another fun filled evening next year!

When the time came for breaking, Dave found out just how fast a pony could actually move, but he got the job done. Patches became a constant companion for Colleen over the next 10 years. He went everywhere and did everything with her. They chased cows, fixed fence, visited neighbours, and took plenty kids for rides. Over the years, Patches took part in many horse shows and trail rides. Kyla and Danielle both competed in barrel racing with him. Anyone that wanted to learn to ride got to ride on Patches. He retired from trail rides in 2007 and stayed close to the barn, mostly because Jamie was always around with feed for him. He loved to munch on dandelions and would always greet you with a whinny when it was feeding time. A wake will be held one fine summer evening to share memories.
