Excellence and Branch Service Excellence among
Canadian financial institutions in the 2014 Ipsos®
Best Banking Awards program. Here at home we
call it Member Service and our expectation is to be
#1 in Member Service.
Government Initiative – Direct Deposit

Gina N. Stewart, Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS)
Experience the benefits of natural therapeutic essential oils. Gina N. Stewart is now offering Raindrop and
Vitaflex in the Rockglen area at her in-home spa room. Raindrop Technique is a therapeutic procedure
that combines the application of essential oils, Vitaflex technique on reflex points of the feet, as well as a
series of specific techniques along the spinal muscles of the back. The technique was developed by Gary
Young, Naturopath Doctor and founder of Young Living Essential Oils. It has been practised world-wide
for many years by licensed and non-licensed medical professionals including massage therapists,
chiropractors, naturopaths, nurses, medical doctors, and doctors of veterinary medicine. Raindrop
Technique is designed to:
+ support your body’s immune system, circulatory system and release toxins
+ aid in maintaining and correcting structural body alignment (it is extremely effective with
conditions of the back and spine, helping to reduce pain and inflammation)
+ release stress and enhance your over-all state of health and well-being
+ promote relaxation and ease muscle tension
Gina has been studying alternative therapies as well as the science and therapeutic use of essential oils for
the past two years. She is educated through the Center of Aromatherapy Research and Education, under
Dr. David Stewart, PhD and licensed through the Natural Therapies Certification Board. Through her
own health challenges of living with Type 1 Diabetes for 32 years, she has had to search out alternatives to
deal with nerve damage in her hands. Raindrop and Vitaflex Technique have proven to be a significant
benefit in improving circulation and reversing nerve damage in her hands.
Come and experience the benefits of a Raindrop today! Gina is now offering Raindrop and Vitaflex
services out of her home, 16 miles south of Rockglen on Highway 2. She has a variety of reading
resources and books available for purchase as well as Young Living Essential Oils.

2014 Rockglen & Area
Yard/Garden Tour . . .
The sky was looking daunting (Thursday July 24th) but a few brave ones met at
Rock Park for the Yard and Garden Tour. John and Florence Pituley’s yard was first on our list. Then off to Dara
and Melvin Ellis’. The sky grew dark, the wind picked up and everyone ran for cover as the storm hit.
However after awhile the sun came out and we continued on . . . Garry Tucker gave us a tour of his yard and
garden. Who knew there were 16 varieties of potatoes? From there we wandered over to Dick and Barb
Prefontaine’s, out to Marilyn and Terry Remoue’s and then to Teresa Davidson’s yard.
We toured Ron and Marny Paterson’s yard and finished up at Marina Pilsner’s. After touring her yard she had
coffee and goodies for us.
It turned out to be a great evening that was enjoyed by all.
Each yard demonstrated unique character, attractiveness and confirmed the hard work done by their owners.
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO ALLOWED US TO STROLL
THROUGH YOUR YARDS.
If you (or someone you know) would allow admirers to view your yard/garden in 2015 please call

extending the campers slide into the street. For the safety of your trailer and the vehicles driving past
PLEASE do not extend camper slides into the street. Thank you for your co-operation with this matter.
OCTOBER LANDFILL HOURS
For the month of October the landfill hours will be as follows: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 1:00

COMPOST AT LANDFILL
Grass clippings and/or leaves may be hauled to the landfill at no charge. Please do not put branches

Residential garbage must be tagged and placed in a visible location for pickup no later than 8:00 a.m.
on the designated garbage day. The garbage truck will not return to collect garbage set out or tagged

SEWER LINES
During the 2014 cleaning of the sewer lines it was noted that there was a large amount of grease in
the lines. A large amount of grease was also found while cleaning the sewer lines in 2013. Please DO
NOT pour grease down the drain. Grease in the sewer lines can cause a large number of unpleasant
problems for you and your neighbors. In 2013 an article in an issue of the Water Canada magazine
stated that “The biggest offender of plugged sewers in Canada is bacon fat and baby wipes.”

DIRT BIKES
The Town office has received several complaints regarding dirt bikes being rode within the Town of Rockglen.
Residents find the noise from the dirt bikes disruptive and disturbing. Please refrain from riding dirt bikes
within town limits. If this problem persist we will have no alternative but to contact the RCMP. Thank you for
your assistance in resolving this problem.
PRUNE YOUR ELMS
The annual restriction on pruning elm trees in Saskatchewan ended August 31. Starting September 1,
homeowners are encouraged to prune their elms to help keep them healthy.
Each year, pruning of elm trees is prohibited from April 1 to August 31 to reduce the risk of Dutch Elm Disease
(DED). The elm bark beetles that spread the deadly disease are most active during this period, and fresh cuts
tend to attract them.
Regular pruning, outside the ban period, helps keep trees healthy and better able to resist all types of disease,
including DED.
Removing dead wood also makes trees less attractive to elm bark beetles. Early fall can be a good time for tree
maintenance, with generally more pleasant and predictable weather than early spring. Having leaves still on
the trees makes it easier to spot and remove dead or unhealthy branches.
Improper pruning techniques can spread DED and other tree diseases, so it’s important to prune correctly,
whether you hire someone or choose to do it yourself. Under the provincial DED regulations, commercial
pruners of elm trees must complete a recognized training program or be supervised by someone who has.
Due to the risk of spreading DED, transporting or storing elm firewood is illegal. Any elm wood should be
disposed of promptly, by burning or burying it in a location approved by the local municipality. For more
information on designated disposal areas and common practices in your area, check with your local municipal
authority.
For more information about Dutch Elm Disease, or to report a suspicious tree, contact the Ministry of
Environment’s general inquiry line at 1-800-567-4224.

Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the
past, present, and future.

Light Horse
The Rockglen Multiple 4-H Club has been fortunate to have Wendy Ching as the light
horse project leader for the past 10 years. Wendy has worked hard to keep us
informed, organized and ensured that our horse riding skills have grown through out
every project year. This was her last year as our leader and we really appreciate her
dedication and would like to say “THANK YOU”!
Some highlights from our 2013/14 year: we had sessions on arena etiquette, safety, grooming,
deworming and vaccinating. We also had two clinics with clinicians. The weather looked to be
questionable for our Achievement Day which was held in the Rockglen arena on August 17th however
it turned out to be a great weather day for horse riding. We had four classes: horsemanship,
pleasure, trail and showmanship. The kids also got to practice their judging skills as each age category
along with two parents were assigned to judge another age category. Everyone had a great show.
The overall placing’s for the year are based on the attendance at project meetings, record books
and results of the horse show. The year overall placing’s for each category were as follows:
Cloverbud – 1st Casey, 2nd McCoy, 3rd Cooper, 4th Kade, 5th Cashton
Junior – 1st Jeneva, 2nd Christina, 3rd Tyler, 4th Gus, 5th Dakoda
Intermediate – 1st Jamie, 2nd Jordan
Senior – 1st Wyatt, 2nd (tie) Lindsey and Riley
Rodeo – 4H Food Concession

Wood Mountain
Regional Park
The park season is over again for another year. The park board hopes everyone enjoyed their
time spent with us and wishes to thank everyone for their patience and understanding in
regards to the lifeguard shortage and reduced swimming hours. We all long for the day when
we had too many applicants for available jobs and qualifications to spare, but that hasn’t been
the case lately. We recognize that things are not ideal and are hoping to make changes to
provide even better service next year.
Watch your mailbox for this fall’s and next spring’s newsletter for more information and keep
yourself informed with our Facebook page. We are always looking for board members and
non-board members with good ideas/projects they would like to contribute. Speaking of
which, Laurie Disney has made a beautiful quilt and donated it to the park in memory of
Sherry Mielke. Tickets are on sale at GHC and the quilt can be viewed at various functions in
the WMRP area. Proceeds are going to the construction of a set of bleachers for
seating/viewing at the swimming pool and we hope to have this constructed by next
summer. Your support would be greatly appreciated!!
Wesley United Church News
Our first Soup With Friends of this church season was
held on September 4th. Twenty-nine people gathered
for lunch and visiting which was fantastic. We hope that
was an indication of the possibility of us reaching even
greater numbers at future gatherings. Our next Soup With Friends will be on
nd
October 2 at noon in the church basement. Come and share in the good times.
As I write this article plans are underway for our Annual Fall Supper (Sept. 28th at the Community
Hall). By the time you read this the Supper will be over. I thank you in advance as I am sure it will be
a successful undertaking. Thank you to all of the people whose efforts made the Supper a wonderful
event: the organizers, set up people, cooks, donators, shoppers, promoters, workers, and also all of
the attendees. Thank you for caring and for all that you have done. We are most appreciative of
everyone’s help.
Worship services at Wesley United will be held every Sunday morning at 11:00 A.M. at least until
the end of 2014. During this time, Rev. Marilyn Leuty of Assiniboia will continue to take care of all of
the people of Borderlands Pastoral Charge. Hopefully everyone is getting to know and recognize Rev.
Marilyn. She can be reached on her cell at 640 – 6910 at any time. In December we will re-evaluate
our situation and this working arrangement with Marilyn and with the Assiniboia Pastoral Charge.
Have you noticed something new about our church? You have to look up, way up … and you will see
an awesome new metal roof. Thank you to Joe and Kayla Hochlander for doing a superb job of
installing it for us. Thank you also to: Russell and Jeanette Belbeck, the waitresses (Starla, Sandra,
Angie, Rita, Jane, and Carla), the donators (of cash or of the delicious dessert), and to all of the people
who attended our roof fundraiser fried chicken smorg at the Burning Hills Café back in June. It was
our Celebrate the Arrival of Summer Smorg. The meal was excellent, just like a church picnic but
indoors. Thank you everyone for the support. Working together we were able to raise the roof as you
now see.
Over the last few months our church and its grounds have been very well taken care of. Thank you
very much to all of the special people who have been doing this work. We really appreciate your
kindness.

Principal’s Message
We have settled into another school year with
the start of new courses and timetables, extracurricular activities and anticipation of a great
year ahead! We have 99 enthusiastic students
and a teaching staff of 8.1 full time equivalent
teachers. With this new year we welcome a
few new people. Mrs. Jasmin McKenzie has
been hired as our full time science/math
teacher. Welcome Mrs. McKenzie! Prairie
South Schools (PSS) welcomes our New
Director of Education, Mr. Tony Baldwin.
Tony has been a teacher, principal, and
Superintendent in our neighbouring school
division of Sun West. He brings much
enthusiasm for life and learning to his new role
as Director of Education. At the end of this
month we will bid farewell to Margaret McKee
our Head Facility Operator. Margaret has
served our school community for the past 12
years, cleaning behind everyone at the end of
the day and making sure we have a top notch
facility to return to each morning. We can’t
thank her enough for all the hard work in
making our school one of the cleanest and
shiniest in the school division. With Margaret’s
farewell we are excited to welcome Marilyn
McKee to the position of HFO. Marilyn gained
valuable insight into the position from being a
casual facility operator here and in Coronach
for the past couple of years. Welcome Marilyn!
Rockglen students and staff will continue to
work on our School Learning Improvement
Plan (LIP) including our goals to focus on
reading comprehension across all grades. Our
teachers will continue to work in Learning
Improvement Teams (LITs) which will help
us to better respond to the learning needs of our
students from K-12. Our first LIT meeting
(early dismissal) will be Monday, September
29th for the entire school division. The LIT
dates are coloured blue on the school calendar
that was sent home at the end of June. If you
have misplaced your copy please let Mrs.
Yorga know and she can get you another copy.
Our School Community Council (SCC) is
excited to support our school goals by planning
many activities to take place throughout the
year that compliment reading and to encourage
students and families to read for fun!
Volleyball practices have started and league
games are underway. Our school has a full slate
of bantam and senior teams under the coaching
direction of our dedicated staff as well as
Brianna Sanguin; who is coaching our senior
girls’ team. We invite the community to come
out for some great volleyball action and to
show your Rockglen Raider pride! Our next
home action takes place this week with the
bantam boys playing host to Assiniboia
Elementary and Coronach on October 1st.
Other home action will take place on October
7th, 9th, 21st, 23rd and 28th. Go RAIDERS!!
We kicked off our fall fundraiser on Tuesday,
September 23rd with the QSP magazine
campaign. Your support over the past years has
been tremendous and we are hoping for a
similar response this year. If you purchased
magazines last year from us or anywhere else,
you are able to renew your subscription this
year. Proceeds from this year’s campaign will
be used for school improvement projects and
student leadership activities. If you would like
to make a cash donation instead of a magazine
purchase, you may also do so. A receipt will be
provided from the school. We will also follow
this fundraiser with a QSP cookie dough and
gift order campaign for those that prefer these
sorts of items instead of magazines. Once
again, thank you in advance for supporting
Rockglen School and our students.
From Rockglen School to your home and
family we wish you all the best for an excellent
school year!
