Daegan Banga Receives The Duke of Edinburg’s Award

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

The Award is a non-competitive pro-

gramme in which participants set and

achieve personal goals for community

service, skills, fitness, and adventure. It is a

great way to explore new interests and try new

challenges you might not have done otherwise,

and even stretch your 'comfort zone'. The Award

is open to all young Canadians age 14 yrs to 24

years old, and has 3 levels:

Bronze (for ages 14 years and up)

Silver (for ages 15 years and up)

Gold (for ages 16 years and up)

Participants can expect to spend at least 6

months completing the Bronze level, and a year

or more on Silver or Gold, depending on

whether the participant registers as a direct

entry or continues from one level to the next.

You must complete your Award before your

25th birthday.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award challenges you

to set and accomplish personal goals in 4 or 5

different areas:

Service

Skill

Physical Recreation

Adventurous Journey

Residential Project (for Gold Level only)

These components may be completed simultane-

ously or one at a time. As a result, the total

amount of time required to complete The Award

will be slightly different for each participant.

Award achievers receive a pin and certificate

to mark their achievements, and may be able to

attend a ceremony within their Province or Ter-

ritory (depending on Award level and ceremony

availability). Gold Award ceremonies are only

presided over by the Governor-General of

Canada, or by a member of the Royal Family.

EDITORIALHoly crap.... I can’t believe I am making another

December issue already. The past year has gone

by way faster than the previous ones. Again I

have not gotten everything done that I wanted

and now I am also faced with getting my Christ-

mas shopping done in the next few weeks.

Normally this can be a tremendous chore that I

often find myself doing the day before Christmas.

Not unlike how I am writing this editorial about

one hour before this issue goes to print !!

But this year I have found an easy way out which

I will share with you.

You can wrap up most of your Christmas shop-

ping this weekend right here at home.

Starting on Friday, you can pop into the

Christmas Tea & Bake Sale at the Delisle Senior

Centre. For those of you that are looking to get a

small gift for yours truely, a tasty treat from

there would fit right in with my Christmas

wishes.

Then on Friday night (or Saturday) you can

drop into the annual Kim McFarlane Art Show &

Sale at the former Feed & Farm Store in

Vanscoy, where you will find amazing, one of a

kind, hand painted decorative and functional

pieces.

Saturday you will have an opportunity to take

in the Gift Gallery at the Delisle Town Hall

where you will find a diverse array of gift ideas

from many of the local home based business that

make up the Delisle & District Women in Busi-

ness organizations.

And for that very special gift, you can probably

find just the right thing at the Craft Sale in the

Pike Lake Community Hall on Sunday.

We are fortunate that we have the talented indi-

viduals and hard working business people in our

community that we do. They are all great sup-

porters of the RM Review, and for that I am very

grateful. You will find a Christmas Greeting from

many of them in the pull-out Christmas Section

of this issue. I hope you will give each of them a

chance to help you find that ‘perfect gift’.

Merry Christmas !

SCHOOL REPORTSPIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL DELISLE COMPOSITE SCHOOL

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL

Here we are at the beginning of Decem-

ber! This first part of preschool has just

flown by. The students have improved

so much in just this short period of time.

The 3-year olds are doing a great job

with their listening skills, following rou-

tine, and learning to play together. The

4-year olds have improved so much with

printing their names. I think at this

time, there are only 2 or 3 who still need

to use their name plate; the others can

print their name from memory!

November has been a good month at pre-

school. We had pictures taken by Mc-

Master's Photography and the day went

really well. Rose can coax a smile from

anyone! That same day, we also started

making crafts to sell at the craft sale in

Pike Lake on December 7th at the hall.

We started practicing for our Christmas

concert and both groups are doing well

with that. They both also spent a day

learning about the number 3, with the 3-

year olds braiding pipe cleaners together

to make bracelets and the 4-year olds

drawing 3 3's and gluing items on them.

We celebrated the colour brown making

porcupines and beaver masks. There

was lots of brown clothing to see and lots

of brown snacks to enjoy! We will end

the month with our annual Pajama Day.

The 4-year olds started a health unit in

November, learning about germs, how to

take care of their teeth, and which foods

are healthy. We will finish that up in

December talking about emotions.

In December we will celebrate the colour

red and the number 4. The 4-year olds

will also finish up our health unit, learn

about opposites, and spend a day talking

about Christmas. We will once again be

joining Pike Lake School for their

Christmas concert on the morning of

Wednesday, December 17th and having

our own Christmas Party on the morn-

ing of Thursday, December 18th.

I would like to extend a special thank

you to Pike Lake School for all they do

for our preschool, from sharing their out-

door toys to bringing over Scholastic

packages to inviting us to join in on spe-

cial days like the Halloween Party or

Christmas Concert. Thank you from all

of us at Pike Lake Preschool!

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas

season and a very Happy New Year!

Parent-teachers were recently held at

Pike Lake School. Thank you to our staff

and students for their efforts as well as

our parents for their tremendous sup-

port. When we all work together, we

create a successful environment for our

students. Pike Lake School is truly

blessed to have such a wonderful and

supportive learning community.

Pike Lake School is always looking to-

wards the future and is excited to share

information about the rich opportunities

for learning provided by our School! Do

you have a child who will be starting

Kindergarten in the fall 2015 of 2016 or

within the next five years? Register now

to have the opportunity to tour your

child’s new school and meet the Kinder-

garten teacher. Kindergarten is a special

place where children are encouraged to

be the best they can be in a welcoming

and dynamic learning environment. Nu-

merous opportunities are provided to en-

courage children to create, explore and

enjoy themselves while developing skills

in language, math, art, science, music

and physical education. Children must

be five years of age by December 31,

2016 to start Kindergarten in September

2015. For more information, drop by

Pike Lake School or give us a call at

(306)668-4808.

As a school we would like to take this op-

portunity to extend a special thank you

to our School Community Council and to

everyone for their support of the council

fundraisers. Recently, our council

passed motions to help support the de-

velopment of an outdoor classroom, initi-

ate a “One Book, One School” reading

program to kick off the 2015 school year,

and to purchase a new Smart Board for

our Grade One/Two classroom. That’s

fantastic! Also, a big thank you goes out

to all of the parents who will be donating

their time for our Hot Meal program and

items for the Christmas Gift Basket. The

funds raised from the Christmas Gift

Basket will go directly towards our new

outdoor classroom. The volunteerism

and generosity in our community is

amazing and it helps to make Pike Lake

School the great place that it is.

The snow and cold means it is a sign

that Christmas is quickly approaching!

Indeed the students at Pike Lake School

are getting excited about our upcoming

Christmas concert production entitled,

“A Bear-y Merry Holiday.” This year’s

concert will be performed by the Pike

Lake Students on Thursday, December

18th at 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Please

mark this date and these times on your

calendar so as not to miss this school

tradition for one and all.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas

and Joyous New Year!

Our school has been focussing on many

components of literacy including ‘Wise,

Active Reading”. What is a wise, active

reader? A wise, active reader is a person

of any age who gets into a book and en-

joys it! Wise, Active readers can be found

everywhere! In a library, classroom, bed-

room, hallway, kitchen, or even in a ve-

hicle! These readers can read with

expression, can predict what will happen

in a book, and can visualize what they

are reading. Wise, active readers think

about what they read while they are

reading, and may even try different

kinds of books. These wise readers know

how to pick a ‘Just Right’ book, using a

variety of reading strategies, and has

reading stamina. Ask your child how

they are practicing to become a wise, ac-

tive reader!

VANSCOY SCHOOL

The month of November has been a busy

one at Vanscoy School. Students have

been participating in a number of events

such as attending WE Day in Saskatoon,

raising money for the UNICEF cam-

paign, collecting donations for the Re-

membrance Day Poppy Campaign as

well as getting ready for the up-coming

Christmas season.

We have wrapped up our UNICEF cam-

paign for 2014. Students emptied their

piggybanks, canvassed Vanscoy and

brought in personal donations. The

Grade 6 student leaders of the school-

wide UNICEF campaign were Marc

Tim, Sam Thompson, Jade Jimmy,

Daylin Deitsch, Brady Irvine, Abby

Orth, Jordyn Milnes, Talisa Gibbard,

and Emma Robert. They organized pop-

corn and hot chocolate sales. The Grade

1 class sold lemonade raising $83.00.

The Grade 4 class baked and sold cook-

ies raising $183.15. The Grade 7 / 8 class

created a Halloween Haunted House

that raised $162.50. As a result of the

campaign we raised our highest total

ever, $1,429.00! Thanks to our students,

their families, school staff and the com-

munity for their efforts. Funds collected

will go towards supporting children in

areas such as West Africa, Haiti, Syria

and Pakistan. The money will help to

pay for school supplies, bikes, tents,

clean water and health care needs.

The school Remembrance Day service

was meaningful and well attended. Stu-

dents performed well and honoured

guests assisted us with the Colour Pa-

rade and speeches. Poppy sales totaling

$325 was raised and will be sent to the

Royal Canadian Legion at Delisle.

Thank you all.

Staff at Vanscoy School have an oppor-

tunity to participate for the Dress Down

for Diabetes campaign. Staff participat-

ing have been paying $5 each to dress-

down on Fridays in November.

Our school and Vanscoy Village are

seeking local sponsors for the Disc Golf

playing field that will be installed dur-

ing the spring of 2015. Location will be

on the Village and school grounds. For a

$500 donation (or more), sponsors will

see their business advertised at one of

the holes. If you would like to be a part

of this great joint endeavor or have ques-

tions, please call Mr. Derdall, school

principal at 306-668-2056.

During the month of December, there

will be a number of activities and events

at the school. The School Christmas

Concert: Grades K-5 and the Glee Club

will have two performances on Tuesday

December 16 at 9:30 and the second per-

formance at 7:00pm. On Thursday De-

cember 18th the Glee Club will be going

on tour and will perform at the Lawson

Mall at 11:30am.

Student Secret Santa, which takes place

on Friday, December 12 involves stu-

dents purchasing Christmas gifts se-

cretly for their family during school time

in our library store. The purchases are

even wrapped at the school (no peeking).

The parents just need to send a bit of

money and a shopping list with their

child. Younger grades have ‘helpers’ to

guide them throughout the ‘store’. No

parents please. This is all top secret.

Most items cost between 50₵ to $10.00.Of course, there is no obligation for your

child to participate.

We appreciate the time and effort that

our Room Parents put into running this

program – it is a lot of work. They are

great volunteers!! Thank you!

Songs of the Season

Santa claus is

coming to townYou better watch out

You better not cry

Better not pout

I’m telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He’s making a list,

And checking it twice;

Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice.

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you’re sleeping

He knows when you’re awake

He knows if you’ve been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake!

O! You better watch out!

You better not cry.

Better not pout, I’m telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Frosty the SnowmanFrosty the snowman

Was a jolly happy soul,

With a corn cob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal;

Frosty the snowman, is a fairy tale they say,

He was made of snow but the children know

How he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic

In that old silk hat they found

‘Cause when they put it on his head

He began to dance around

Oh, Frosty the snowman

Knew the sun was hot that day,

So he said, ‘Let’s run and we’ll have some fun

Now before I melt away!’

Down to the village, with a broomstick in his

hand,

Running here and there all around the square,

Saying, ‘Catch me if you can!’

He led them down the streets of town

Right to the traffic cop,

And he only paused a moment

When he heard him holler ‘Stop!’

For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his

way.

But he waved goodbye, saying, ‘Don’t you cry

I’ll be back again same day!’

Thumpety thump thump, (2)

Look at Frosty go,

thumpety thump thump, (2)

Over the hills of snow

Silent nightSilent night, Holy night

All is calm, all is bright,

‘Round you virgin mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild.

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, Holy night

Shepherds quake, at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar,

Heavenly hosts sing,”Alleluia!”

Christ the Savior is born

Christ the savior is born.

Silent night, Holy night

Son of God, love’s pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus Lord at Thy birth

Such a babe in such a place, can he be

the Saviour?

Ask the saved of all the race,

Who have found his favor

Angels sang about his birth,

wise ;men sought and found him;

heaven’s star shone brightly forth,

glory all around him.

Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,

heard the angels singing;

all the plains were lit that night,

all the hills were ringing.

Gentle Mary laid her child

lowly in a manger;

he is still the undefiled,

but no more a stranger.

Son of God of humble birth,

beautiful the story;

praise his name in all the earth;

hail the King of glory!

i Saw Mommy

kissing Santa clausI saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistletoe last night.

She didn’t see me creep

down the stairs to have a peep;

She thought that I was tucked

up in my bedroom fast asleep.

Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus

Underneath his beard so snowy white;

Oh, what a laugh it would have been

If Daddy had only seen

Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.

Rudolph the

Red-nosed ReindeerYou know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer

and Vixen

Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen

But do you recall

The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it

You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names

They never let poor Rudolph

Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say,

“Rudolph with your nose so bright

Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then how the reindeer loved him

As they shouted out with glee

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

You’ll go down in history!

O holy nightO holy night!

The stars are brightly shining,

It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth.

Long lay the world

In sin and error pining

‘Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaks a new and glorious

morn,

Fall on your knees!

O hear the angels voices!

O night, divine!

O night, when Christ was born,

O night, divine!

O night, O night divine!

White christmasI’m dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones we used to know

Where the tree tops glisten

And children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

All i Want For christmas

is My two Front teethEvery body stops

and stares at me

These two teeth are

gone as you can see

I don’t know just who

to blame for this catastrophe!

But my one wish on Christmas Eve

is as plain as it can be!

All I want for Christmas

is my two front teeth,

my two front teeth,

see my two front teeth!

Gee, if I could only

have my two front teeth,

then I could with you

“Merry Christmas.”

It seems so long since I could say,

“Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!”

Gosh oh gee, how happy I’d be,

if I could only whistle (thhhh)

All I want for Christmas

is my two front teeth,

my two front teeth,

see my two front teeth.

Gee, if I could only

have my two front teeth,

then I could wish you

“Merry Christmas!”

Angels We have

heard on highAngels we have heard on high,

Sweetly singing o’er the plains:

And the mountains in reply

echoing their joyous strains.

Refrain

Glo-ria in excelsis D-eo,

Glo-ria, in excelsis D-eo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why you joyous songs prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heav’nly song?

Refrain

Come to Bethlehem, and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee,

Christ, the Lord, our new-born King.

Refrain


Away in a MangerAway in a manger, no crib for a bed,

The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.

The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.

I love Thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the

sky,

And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay

close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in your tender care,

and fit us for heaven, to live with you there.

let it SnowOh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

and since we’ve no place to go,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

We finally kiss goodnight

How I hate going out in the storm

But if you’d really hold me tight,

all the way home I’d be warm

the fire is slowly dying,

And my dear, we’re still goodbyeing

But as long as you love me so,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

White christmasI’m dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones we used to know

Where the tree tops glisten

And children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be

white

O little town

of BethlehemO little town of Bethlehem

How still we sell thee lie!

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by.

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting Light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary,

And gathered all above,

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love.

O morning stars, together

Proclaim the holy birth!

And praises sing to God the King,

And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently,

the wondrous gift is giv’n!

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of His heav’n.

No ear may hear His coming,

But in this world of sin,

Where meek souls will receive Him

still,

The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem!

Descend to us, we pray;

Cast out our sin, and enter in,

Be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels

The great glad tidings tell;

O come to us, abide with us,

Our Lord Emmanuel!

Silver BellsCity sidewalks, busy sidewalks,

Dressed in holiday style,

In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas;

Children laughing, People passing,

Meeting smile after smile,

And on every street corner you hear:

Refrain

Silver Bells, silver bells,

It’s Christmas time in the city,

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,

Soon it will be Christmas Day.

Strings of street lights, even stoplights

Blink a bright red and green,

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures,

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,

This is Santa’s big scene,

And above all the bustle you hear:

Refrain

have yourself a Merry

little christmasHave yourself a merry little Christ-

mas,

Let your heart be light,

From now on, our troubles will be

out of sight.

Have yourself a merry little Christ-

mas,

Make the Yuletide gay,

From now on, our troubles will be

miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,

Happy golden days of yore,

Faithful friends who are dear to us,

Gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be to-

gether,

If the Fates allow,

Hang a shining star upon the high-

est bough,

And have yourself a merry little

Christmas now.

Jingle BellsDashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride


Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way



A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

We got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way




Jingle all the way


In a one horse open sleigh yeah


Jingle all the way




Jingle all the way



it came upon a

Midnight clearIt came upon a midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the earth,

To touch their harps of gold

“Peace on the earth, good will to men

From heav’n’s all gracious King,”

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing.

Still thro’ the cloven skies they come,

With peaceful wings unfurled;

And still their heav’nly music floats

O’re all the weary world;

Above its sad and lowly plains

They bend on hov’ring wing,

And ever o’er its Babel sound

The blessed angels sing.

O ye beneath life’s crushing load,

Whose forms are bending low,

Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow;

Look now, for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing;

Oh rest beside the weary road

And hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hast’ning on,

By prophets seen of old,

When with the ever circling years

Shall come the time foretold,

When the new heav’n and earth shall own

The Prince of Peace their King,

And the whole world send back the son

Which now the angels sing.

Songs of the Season

chestnuts Roasting

on an Open FireChestnuts roasting on an open fire,

Jack Frost nipping on your nose,

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,

And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,

Help to make the season bright.

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,

Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his

sleigh.

And every mother's child is going to spy,

To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,

To kids from one to ninety-two,

Although its been said many times, many ways,

A very Merry Christmas to you

Back 40 Embroidery



He stood alone outside, beside the brown, empty wooden

bird house. Soft, crystal-like snowflakes fell on the snow-

man’s brown, leather top hat. His light brown, red polka

dot sewn scarf, had fluffy white flakes covering it. A

brown little bird landed on his hand, and he wasn’t alone

anymore.

Bright yellow stars floated in the sky, as snow continued to

fall. A red and green stocking hung from his other hand,

and filled with snow. His carrot nose, and his button belly,

covered with snow, started to freeze. That’s when he real-

ized, that he was a snowman.

By Magnus

As I walk through the forest I see a dim light

coming through the trees. As I walk out, I

see an old cozy cabin with the porch light on.

I wade through the smoothly flowing creek

and walk onto the porch. I look in the dis-

tance and see the rolling mountain tops with

dark brown geese flying overhead. The creek

still flows for miles. I walk into the warm

cabin and smell a strong fragrance of warm

baking and nice gingerbread houses. It

smells just like heaven. Then I roll into the

bedroom and curl up in a soft old blanket

that smells like pizza. I doze off and dream

of Christmas. When I wake up the sun is just

rising and I feel refreshed and go outside on

a journey somewhere else.

By Connor J.

Five ducks of many colours in the green to yellow

grassed nest, with holly hidden behind. Bright or-

ange feet and bright yellow beaks, quiet as can be.

Sitting, laying, standing, watching for the next

move. Beautiful bleach white collars around their

necks make them look as if they are ready for a ball.

Colours of dark brown fills the chest and back of the

mallards. The beautiful true green heads make their

glossy brown and black eyes stand out wonderfully.

A cream colour of feathers goes in a circle around

their bodies. Little specks of sparkly snowflakes fall

on their backs making their feathers shine even more

brightly.

By Chloe

After a busy day of preparing for

Christmas, Kitty curled up in the living

room, by the tree, in the armchair with

her Teddy Bear. As she dozes off to

sleep, Kitty and Teddy dream about all

the things they want for Christmas.

Kitty dreams about toy mice, fish and

yarn. Teddy dreams about honey, gin-

gerbread and pears. Together they

dream about candy, bells, candy canes,

and trumpets. As they slowly begin to

wake up they are filled with warmth

and cheer. When they wake curled up

together beside the glowing Christmas

tree they believe their wishes will come

true.

By Meagan

Down in the lane, dozens of

sheep walking towards them. The

man and his dog leading the

sheep from the back. All the trees

leaves have turned and fallen.

The sunsets with a glowing or-

ange. The first snow has fallen.

But he laid cold in his room at his

auntie’s house. He couldn’t sleep.

He was excited for tomorrow. It

was Christmas. He starts to won-

der if Santa Claus would ever

come. He looked out the window,

and there he saw a man bearing a

Christmas tree and toy bag. He

had seen the fluffy white beard

and red suit. It was Santa.

By Oakley

The little girls cried in joy as she saw the blanket of snow cov-

ering the ground. She ran around the house throwing some odds

and ends into a bag. The girl quickly pulled on her snow gear,

her woollen cap and gloves, and finally her pink boots with the

fluffy white fur inside. She slung the bag over her shoulder, al-

most falling over from the weight. Heading outside her feet

sinking into the blindingly white snow. It was still early so no

one else was out on her street. A light snowfall had started. The

little girl decided to make a snowman. First she rolled the big

ball straining against the weight. Then she rolled a middle sized

ball. She gasped and ground trying to get it on top of the bottom

ball. Finally with one last push the snowballs settled. Finishing

the last ball and throwing it up, she grabbed the bag and

dumped her collection out. There was a red hat, a handful of

buttons, and a lopsided carrot. She moved around the snowman

quickly and threw her ingredients on the man of snow. Stepping

back to view her work she sighed in satisfaction, picked up her

empty bag and headed inside to the smell of a warm breakfast.

I could feel the wind against me

while riding in the carriage. My

favorite horse Ralph was running

really fast. I was on my way back

to my grandmas for lunch. I ar-

rived at my grandmas, walked in-

side and smelled the fresh chili.

My grandma made the best

meals. I was there because my

parents were away. It was Christ-

mas eve and there were presents

for me under the tree. I slowly

walked over and peeked through

one of them. I sat in the hot cozy

couch in the living room with my

burning cup of coffee. The tree

was all decorated with lights all

around it. There were presents

wrapped up on a plaid red and

black blanket. I could feel the

heat from the red hot fire. I could

smell the coffee rising to my

nose. I had Christmas music

playing very loudly. I just saw all

the beautiful red and black deco-

rations. I was very pleased.

By Brant

The birds outside my window are chirping their sweet song. I

wake to the sound of them every morning. I makes me feel safe

and secure. They’re so cute. They look like little pompoms. The

little black tufts on their heads keep them warm and cozy when

the temperature drops below zero and the crisp air targets any

bare skin. They stay warm no matter what with their cheerful

yellow chests. I love the birds in the winter. It gives a sense of

life when the land around is dead. I wake to the smell of fresh

Christmas baking wafting through the air. It’s Christmas Eve

today! All through the day my heart was racing. As the sun set I

was just quivering with excitement. My mom came into my

room and told me to put my coat on. We walked out the door

and heard the carollers, they sound amazing! We stood there in

the square listening to all the Christmas songs I grew up with

sung perfectly.

By Jenna

The snow lightly fell on the ground around

me, the cold winter air nipped at my skin. The

muffled clop of the horses’ hooves against the

snow covered ground. The soft clatter of the

father and his son reached my ears. The lush

green tree contrasted against the blue and red

of their clothes. The sled slid across the

ground with a slight shhh sound as it com-

pressed the snow below it. Some of the trees

around us were bare of leaves, but the snow

covered the otherwise boring branches. The

others were still green and sharp. The house

loomed ahead promising warmth and shelter

from the cold breeze. Our new Christmas tree

was finally home.

By Josh

I pick my feet up and stand tall. I

take my father’s hand and we

step onto the ice. He’s a bit wob-

bly at first and we almost tumble

over. Children laugh as they pass

us by and my cheeks grow warm.

He tells me to go have fun. I have

many skating skills and I want to

try them out. I kick off and race

around the ice. I glide across the

ice and I feel at home. This is my

natural habitat. The building

lights up the park so bright that I

forget the sun has already gone

down. The horse carriage passes

by with a happy couple. I turn

around to see my father smiling

brightly at me. This is a perfect

Christmas already.

By Rhys

White, as far as you could see, all was white. The

bench in the park was sprinkled with snow and un-

touched by people. The only disturbances in this win-

terland of a park was the whistling of the wind and the

tweeting of a lonely bright red cardinal with black

wings. The cardinal watched as the snow fell soft and

silently with nobody to disturb the perfect scenery. The

light from the street lamp left the park in total bright-

ness and so the snowflakes were illuminated like stars

in the sky. Glossy white snow covered the ground and

frosted the trees. In the far distance the imagery was

like a perfect mirror of the winterland all around. This

perfect winter wonderland was all but untouched.

By Damon

The green pine tree stood

proudly in the Yuzik family

living room. Its thick

branches popping out of the

trunk full of green bitter

smelling needles that cov-

ered the tree and the floor

around it. Red garland

wrapped around the tree,

hanging on the branches.

Christmas balls of all

colours dot the tree with

colour and life. Bells of all

sorts of shape and sizes

hang from the branches

chiming their sweet songs.

Stars, flowers, bows and

candy canes, are pops of

light and colour against the

dark green evergreen. Toys

for boys and girls cover the

ground under the tree, a

China doll with bright red

lips and a pretty pink lace

dress, a French horn shin-

ing in the lights of the tree,

a black toy train waiting to

be played with, and last of

all the tree is topped with a

big shiny star. You can

smell the Christmas cheer

in the air.

“ You’re at Home Here “

Pipe Cleaner

Snowflake

You will need:

2 silver pipecleaners

3 blue pipecleaners

Instructions:

Cut the two silver pipe cleaners in half. Put one piece aside

so you have 3. Twist these three pieces together in the centre

so that you have a shape with six points (look at the photo

above for help with this).

Cut the blue pipe cleaners in half and then in half again. You

will have 12 pieces. Twist these on to the silver base to deco-

rate your snowflake.

If you want to hang your snowflake, take the piece of silver

pipe cleaner you put aside, fold in half and twist the ends to

one of the snowflake points to make a loop

Snowman Puzzle

Harvest is over. The

grain is in the bin.

The cattle are

home from the pasture.

Now is the time to start

thinking about next year.

Do those next year plans

include seeding some

cropland into forages? If

so here are a couple of

things to consider.

Firstly some species of

forages are in short sup-

ply. So once you have de-

cided what to seed book

your seed supplies. If you

need help deciding what

to seed, contact your local

Regional Forage Special-

ist. The forages species

you seed will depend on

factors like; what you

plan to use the forage for -

hay or pasture, what sea-

son you plan to use it -

spring, summer or fall

and what type of soil you

are seeding into - sand,

clay or saline soil.

Secondly if the land is in

annual crop and can be

deemed to be high risk for

erosion or prone to salin-

ity then there is a pro-

gram that helps with the

seeding cost. Under the

Farm Stewardship Pro-

gram of Growing Forward

II producers can access

cost-shared funding to

seed high risk erodible

and saline cultivated land

to forage. This funding is

through the Protecting

High Risk Erodible and

Saline Soils Beneficial

Management Practice

under the Land Manage-

ment BMP’s. To qualify,

producers must own or

control a minimum of 320

acres of farmland in

Saskatchewan and earn a

minimum of $35,000.00

gross farm income in

Saskatchewan. The fund-

ing covers 50% of seed

costs (based on a maxi-

mum seed cost of

$35.00/acre) and estab-

lishment costs (up to a

maximum of $35.00/acre)

up to a maximum of

$5,000.00. Eligible pro-

ducers can apply through

their local Agri-Environ-

mental Groups, Eagle

Creek Watershed or

South Sask River Water-

shed or apply themselves

if they have completed

their Individual Environ-

mental Farm Plan.

The land being seeded

must have been in annual

crop for two years prior to

seeding to forage. The

land must be at risk of

erosion due to factors like

coarse or moderately

coarse textures (sandy

soil) or steep slopes. Land

which is prone to salinity

can also qualify for forage

seeding funding. Forage

seed must be certified or

Common # 1 with no pro-

hibited or noxious weeds

designated under The

Weed Control Act

(Saskatchewan). The for-

age mix must include

some creeping rooted

grass species. The forage

mix must not include cer-

tain Invasive species. For

help to make up the for-

age seed mix that suits

your site and qualifies for

this program contact your

local Regional Forage

Specialist.

Another forage seeding

program is the Native

Plant Establishment

BMP. If you want to seed

land to forage using na-

tive forages you can get

funding to help with this

seeding cost. Funding

levels are still 50% of eli-

gible costs up to a maxi-

mum seed cost of

$100.00/acre (native seed

costs are higher) and es-

tablishment costs of

$35.00/acre up to a maxi-

mum cap of $10,000. Eli-

gibility requirements are

similar to the

high risk

erodible BMP.

This project

must be pre-

approved by

your Regional

Forage Spe-

cialist before

starting the

project.

We have just gone through another season of

crisis in the grain transportation system. The

tragedy of $8 billion loss because we couldn’t

get our grain to port in a timely manner when prices

were strong is a blot-on-the margin for the government

and main line railways alike. It is not like this situa-

tion developed suddenly so that capacity problems were

unexpectedly upon us. No, we knew for decades that

our rail system was inadequate for our increasing ex-

port industries. And now we are well aware that our

grain production in total will be double the current

level so action is a critical issue.

Many may believe the excuses of the railroads but that

would be the wrong response. The CPR is leasing

rolling stock and trimming its infrastructure in the

best rules of economics, while the CNR stands back and

rubs it’s hands in sympathy as it rolls in profits but

neglects preparing for the future.

The government makes weak rules that make the sys-

tem more unattractive to the railways while stating

with straight faces that they are the farmer’s friend.

What balderdash we have to suffer with no forward

planning in sight.

Unquestionably we do not have enough capacity to

handle the current demand from agriculture, potash,

coal and lumber industries, and we are just at the be-

ginning of a major expansion in export potential.

Clearly we need a major plan of action, which will in-

volve government as well as the railroads to increase

rail capacity to the west coast. It probably means dou-

ble tracking for enough rail space and some adjust-

ments in the arrangements of gathering grain from all

points in addition to the

large terminals. It is going

to take a pile of money so

government will be part of

the funding and with it

have some control of what

the plans will be for im-

proved services for the ben-

efit of all shippers.

The Honourable

Bernard Val-

court, Minister of

Aboriginal Affairs and

Northern Development,

issued the following

statement regarding

the FNFTA:

"I am pleased to report

that 529 of 582 First

Nations now have their

documents published

under the First Nations

Financial Trans-

parency Act (FNFTA),

providing their mem-

bers with more trans-

parent and accountable

governance and in turn

helping to ensure band

revenues are being

used for their benefit”.

The Act applies the

same principles of

transparency and ac-

countability to First

Nation governments

that already exist for

other governments in

Canada and also helps

to empower any person,

including First Nation

members, to hold gov-

ernments accountable

by seeking a Court

Order for the publica-

tion of documents if the

requirements of the Act

are not fulfilled.

With regard to non-

compliant First Na-

tions, at this time our

Government will be

taking action according

to the provisions of the

law which will include:

- Withholding funding

for non-essential pro-

grams, services and ac-

tivities

- Withholding of new

or proposal-based non-

essential program

funding;

- Publishing the names

of all non-compliant

First Nations on the

AANDC

website; and

- In the case of those

First Nations who have

indicated they have no

intention of complying,

seeking court orders to

require publication.

I have directed that

the sanctions not tar-

get essential services

that support band

members.

With this Act, our Gov-

ernment has made fi-

nancial information

more accessible to First

Nation members,

which leads to more ef-

fective, transparent

and accountable gover-

nance as well as

stronger, more self-

sufficient and prosper-

ous communities."

Building on the

Government’s

historic infra-

structure investments,

including under the

New Building Canada

Plan, Prime Minister

Stephen Harper on

Monday announced

new investments that

will continue to build

and renew infrastruc-

ture and on-reserve

schools across the coun-

try.

The announcement is

part of the Govern-

ment’s unprecedented

and historical invest-

ment in public infra-

structure to ensure

Canada’s future eco-

nomic growth for years

to come. The ability to

invest this substantial

amount in targeted in-

frastructure is a direct

result of the Govern-

ment’s responsible ac-

tions to return to fiscal

balance.

The Government will

invest in infrastructure

across the country in

areas such as heritage,

First Nations educa-

tion, defence, borders,

research facilities, har-

bours, transportation,

and search and rescue

to create jobs from

coast to coast to coast.

Canada’s prosperity

pend on a vast network

of public infrastructure

– from roads and high-

ways, to bridges, tran-

Energy East Pipeline Support

Today in the Saskatchewan Legislature,

our government passed a motion recogniz-

ing the Energy East Pipeline as good for

all parts of Canada, from Saskatchewan

and Alberta, to Ontario, Quebec and be-

yond. The motion recognizes the National

Energy Board (NEB) as the appropriate

body to review national pipeline projects,

such as Energy East, and that provinces

should not invent new conditions such as

greenhouse gas emissions as a barrier to

approval and trade.

Energy East, like previous national

pipeline projects in years past, will be

good for economies across Canada, includ-

ing Ontario and Quebec. The project will

generate billions of dollars of activity, new

jobs, manufacturing, and tax revenue,

much of which will be in Central Canada.

Saskatchewan’s oil sector continues to

serve the people here by providing jobs,

attracting investment, and generating tax

revenue so our government can continue

to make investments that benefit

Saskatchewan people. Energy East will

extend these benefits across Canada.

The NEB already has a stringent ap-

proval process for pipelines in Canada

and moving oil by pipeline is safer, more

environmentally friendly, and more eco-

nomical than moving it by rail. We should

be removing barriers to growth between

provinces, not inventing new ones.

Strong Agriculture Sector

Saskatchewan’s population is trending a

little higher than usual as our province

welcomes thousands of visitors from more

than 60 countries. Agribition, Western

Canada’s premiere agricultural market-

place, trade show and rodeo, is underway.

The traditional “burning of the brand”

kicked off the annual livestock and

agribusiness show which brings hundreds

of exhibitors, thousands of visitors and

the best livestock in North America to

Saskatchewan.

The five-day event at Regina’s Evraz

Place features a full lineup of entertain-

ment that includes the Junior Roping and

Stock Dog competitions, the Canadian

Cowboys Association Finals Rodeo and

Full Contact Jousting. Other events in-

clude eight National Beef Shows, an In-

digenous Agricultural Summit, Grain

Expo Conference and, for the first time

ever, a Think Ag Career Education Expo

for students to learn about careers in

agriculture.

Despite excess moisture this past grow-

ing season, Saskatchewan’s agriculture

sector is as strong as it has ever been.

2013 was our province’s third consecutive

year of record exports at $11.7 billion and,

in 2014, year-to-date exports are 19 per

cent higher. Cattle prices have also

reached record highs and the Western

Livestock Price Insurance Program has

been well-received with about 15 per cent

of our province’s calf crop covered in the

first year.

Saskatchewan is well-positioned as an

important agricultural trader in the

world and expansion of trade relations

will help to sustain and build on that.

The Premier’s trade mission to India this

month is just one example of our govern-

ment’s work to promote growing these re-

lationships.

New Building Canada Fund

By working in partnership with the fed-

eral government, Saskatchewan is now

poised to receive more than $436 million

from the Government of Canada through

the new Building Canada Fund. Over the

next 10 years, regional and local commu-

nities will benefit from stable, predictable

funding to continue to strengthen eco-

nomic growth through investments in

programs and infrastructure. Thanks in

part to this funding, our government can

continue to focus on building stronger

communities, growing export and trade,

ensuring a clean environment, and to

keep meeting the opportunities and chal-

lenges of growth.

Of the $436.7 million, $196.5 million

will go toward provincial projects, while

the remaining $240.2 million will go to-

ward all other eligible Provincial Territo-

rial Infrastructure Component applicants.

These projects will be funded one-third

each by the federal government, the

provincial government and other eligible

recipients. The total federal/provincial

funding that will be invested in

Saskatchewan infrastructure will be more

than $870 million. This is going to help

advance key goals of our Growth Plan as

well as contribute to a higher quality of

life.

Applications are now being accepted.

COMMUNITY REPORTS

'Tis the season...

All week I have been singing Christmas

carols. The other day I actually caught

myself belting out “Santa Claus Is Com-

ing to Town” in line at the grocery store.

Surprisingly, no one around me even

batted an eye. I guess the holiday season

is one time of year when folks can sing

in public without feeling silly.

Only a few years ago, you never would

have caught me singing in front of any-

one, much less at the grocery store. I

was convinced that the sound of my

singing voice fell somewhere between

fingernails on a chalkboard and bag-

pipes warming up. I loved to sing, but I

was very careful not to let anyone hear

me.

That wasn't always the case, of

course. When I was a kid I used to sing

all the time. It never occurred to me

then that I should be embarrassed about

how I sounded. Then one day when I was

merrily singing away in the back seat of

the car, my grandma told my grandpa to

pull over, an ambulance was coming.

There was no ambulance. It was my

singing she had heard and thought it

was a siren. And so ended my days of

unselfconscious singing.

Lots of us grow up thinking we can't

sing. Someone made fun of us, or a

teacher told us not to bother trying out

for the musical, or we were kindly told,

“It's OK, you have other gifts.” No mat-

ter how it was put, the message was

clear – you can't sing. So many of us just

stopped singing, at least when there was

anyone else around to hear.

But singing is not just for the musically

'gifted' – it's for everybody. Everyone

sings. Singing touches something deep

inside of us; allows us to give voice to our

feelings. Singing with others is espe-

cially wonderful; it builds community,

nurtures relationships, and it's a whole

lot of fun!

This holiday season, why not put away

those old messages that keep you silent,

and let yourself sing.

Looking for somewhere to test out those

vocal chords?

The Delisle Community Choir meets on

the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each

month. New members are always wel-

come. No auditions; no experience neces-

sary.

December 17th – Delisle-Vanscoy United

Church invites everyone to join in an

evening of Christmas caroling, followed

by hot chocolate and cookies. Meet at the

United Church at 6:30pm.

Local author, Carey Rigby-Wilcox is on a

mission to highlight the impact low literacy

has on adults and to spread the word that

help is available.

The author of the autobiographical children’s

book “My Mummy Couldn’t Read,” Rigby-Wilcox

met with her tutor for three-plus hours every

Sunday for over twenty-three years to address

her own low literacy issues. Once shy and inse-

cure, she is a walking testimonial to how learning

to read expands your life.

In her newest book, “My Dad Couldn’t Read,”

Rigby-Wilcox further destigmatizes the trauma of

low literacy while offering a poignant tale of in-

spiration for children and parents alike. Parents

usually strive to be an inspiration to their chil-

dren, she notes, but what happens when children

become an inspiration to their parents?

In “My Dad Couldn’t read,” told in the first per-

son by a young boy whose dad can barely read,

readers learn how the boy’s dad struggles through

grade school, how his shame and confusion grow,

and how he finally gives up, quits high school,

and goes to work instead.

The boy’s dad is good at his job, but he always

feels that something is missing from his life.

When his own son is born, he realizes that he

made a terrible mistake in not persevering

through his reading challenges and receiving his

high school diploma. The question is, what can he

do about it now?

“My Dad Couldn’t Read” tells the poignant story

of how the boy’s dad addresses his low literacy,

the shame and confusion it causes, and his hopes

and fears for his beloved son. In so doing, the

story offers an inspiring testimony to the power of

love and mutual determination.

For Rigby-Wilcox’s efforts, “My Dad Couldn’t

Read” received a Bronze Medal from the 2014

Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards in the Read-

ing/Literacy category.

She comments, “I want to shed a light on literacy

issues that affect adults today and also show that

there is help for anyone who needs it. I have lived

a life of shame, and I have decided to break the

shame by telling my literacy story. There is help

out there, and the ripple effect helps families,

communities, and countries.”

Author: Local resident Carey

Rigby-Wilcox, a mother of four, is a

committed literacy learner, ac-

tivist, volunteer, business owner,

illustrator, and author who is

deeply dedicated to promoting lit-

eracy at the local, provincial, and

national levels. Carey travels

across Canada sharing the impor-

tance of learning to read and how

exciting it is to be an award-win-

ning author and illustrator. Carey

has presented numerous keynote

presentations and speeches at vari-

ous events. Her passion as an ad-

vocate for literacy has taken her to

provincial and federal govern-

ments and even to Parliament. She

is committed to spreading the word

about the importance of literacy

and the barriers adult learners

face. Her self-published autobio-

graphical children’s book “My

Mummy Couldn't Read’ was short-

listed for the 2008 Saskatchewan

Book Awards Book of the Year.

Award-Winning Children’s Book Banishes the Stigma of Low Literacy and Shows

What Happens When a Boy and his Dad Work Together to Learn to Read

”The award winning ‘My DadCouldn't Read’ is a powerful story

that will pull on your heartstrings.

The empowering message and the

family bonds in this book will

inspire you and your children.

Rigby-Wilcox shows readers that

with support and determination,

anything is possible.”

Kristine Scarrow,

author of Throwaway Girl

“Breaking stereotypes and newground, ‘My Dad Couldn't Read’

is the perfect follow-up to

Rigby-Wilcox's bestselling

‘My Mummy Couldn't Read.’

This one is for the boys!”

Wes Funk, author
