December 19, 2000. In 1987, a motion was pasted to allow women into the Lions Club.
In September, 1994, the Lions completed the framework for the Tourist Booth and dedication of
the tourist booth in August 1995.

or a 32x48 farm building. A motion was made to accept the $10,000 which was put into a
special project fund. The Lions joined Adopt a Highway.

of the Qu'Appelle soccer teams, supplying the team with soccer shirts.

Qu’Appelle Town Council met for a regular meeting on Mar. 17, 2009 at Town

Fries, Mike Lenzen and Nicole Nyhus,
and Assistant Administrator Jennifer
Sharpe. Absent were Councillor Linda
Andrew and Administrator Carol Wickenheiser.
The minutes of the Feb. 24, 2009 regular
meeting of Council were accepted as circulated and read.
Correspondence was read and filed. The
statement of financial activities for February and the list of payments for approval
were accepted.
It was agreed in principle to extend the

Handgun Club.

Visit the Town of Qu’Appelle on-line at
www.townofquappelle.ca.
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.

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!

on the Wednesday. Each period three class collected points based on people that dressed up for the days and on how many skitt le-ograms they bought. The English B30 class came out on top and was awarded with a pizza lunch. Thank you to everyone who participated.

April in Review

Faith, Hope and Love

Several months have passed since August 24, 2008, the day Dorrie
Ann Kinrade left her earthly life due to Myxomatous Mitral Valve Sudden Death.
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

Congratulations to Mr. Whalley and his PAA class. Not only did they host a fantastic Family Movie Night, but as well made a
profit of 214.00 for their program.
Mr. Radwanski and his troupe of nine badminton players culminated their season by enjoying an afternoon of round robin play
on Apr. 4.
Our grades 4-6 students were entertained by an afternoon performance of The Music Ambassadors Program at Indian Head.
Tickets to the symphony were won by Mathew Kuntz and Christian Hawke
Congratulations to the Jazzy HumSingers Choir who participated in the Mainline Music Festival and garnered scores of 84 and

speech choral of the festival with marks of 88 and 88.
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.
James Hamblin was the host site for our latest Regional Student Leadership Meeting on Apr. 22, and two long term members
(Jessica Betteridge and Kaela Witkowski) were selected to make a presentation to the PSDV Board Members on student leadership. 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!

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.
A public viewing will be held May 28th at 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the JHS Library. All are welcome.
Middle Years’ Track & Field
May We Help You?
Through wind, rain and, possibly, snow
track and field is underway. The Zone
track meet will be May 22 nd in Montmartre. Those qualifying will participate in
the District track meet in Regina on May
29th. Good luck to all JHS participants.
Don’t forget, each Wednesday
evening, to increase communication
and our availability with the public,
and to accommodate those parents
who work and are unable to meet
during regular school hours, the
school’s administration will be in
the school until 8:00 p.m. If you
have any questions or issues you
wish to discuss, please feel welcome to visit.

Prairie Valley Introduces 310 Minute Day
for 2009-2010 School Year
On April 22, 2009 the Prairie Valley School Division Board of Education approved the 310 minute day calendar as the model to be applied for the 20092010 school year and endorsed a 14 day Christmas break as well as a break in
February.
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.

SO SWIFT THE WAY!
– SO SHORT THE DAY!
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

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!
FFOH also has a newly designed and soon to be updated website. Please check us out

Spring 1977 - April 23, 2009
Patches was an exuberant colt; stealing fencing materials, opening gates and
chasing Marian to the barn. 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.
M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she
gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing
old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save
me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light
shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell
"MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
--Howard Johnson (c. 1915)
