ested. in’ grand parents as

caregivers. 7

respond fill in the space asking ~.
ther. if their opinion has ever. —

been sought before. cps
“Often the opinion: of. a lot of -
people on issues is never asked —
for: They’ve never had that op-
portunity to. be heard,’’ Toews
continued. “*

The centre distribuied 3,300
questionnaires altogether.

Those for families were sent to
area..schools while the ones for
caregivers have been placed in

School warning issued

THE SCHOOL year may have just started but the first students’
safely bulletin has already gone out.

It was issued Sept. 23, the day after several Parkside students en-
countered a man near their school, Although he did not attempt to
abduct the students, he did try to wave them over to his vehicle. The
students ran off and reported the incident.

“ usually send home a list on personal safety for parents to
review with their children in October but it went out a bit early be-
cause of this year. Better to be forewarned than sorry later,’” said
Parkside principal Christine Eide last week.

The man is described as a white male, early 40s, with grey in
black hair worn almost lo his shoulders. He was wearing a blue or
green shirt, The vehicle is described as a blue, Bronco-type, pulling
4 wooden Irailer.

Hide’s list tells children never to go with anyone, even someone ©
they know, unless a parent knows and has given permission, It also
ells children never to help a stranger look for something such as a
lost dog.

The incident was reported to all schools by the RCMP and school
district office. =
