Editorial

“Father’s Day Wish ”

In recent years I have found it harder to survive each coming winter, but

no surprise I guess, as I am now zooming into my fifties. But now I also

find that surviving the coming summers is starting to get harder as well.

Though I am turning 53 this summer, I am blessed with a young 14 year

old son that has been pulling me into all sorts of summer fun activities this

year. These are all things I have always like doing, but since my thirties I

have not done as many, and certainly not as much of them, but I eagerly

jumped at the chance for some father-son bonding this summer.

So during the past winter months I have been booking campsites & tee times,

buying boat, fishing & trailer licenses and first thing this spring I bought a

bike rack, canoe, paddles, life jackets, fishing tackle, golf balls and many other

things to get us set-up for the best summer ever !!

But before we head out on these many planned adventures, I should try all

these new things out by going on a nice short 2 night camping / fishing / golf-

ing trip to Riverhurst. So I spent a few days cleaning the camper, installing

the new bike rack and testing how the new canoe loaded to make sure every-

thing would fit and work as planned. It all looked good... so I unloaded it all.

A week later I loaded it all back up and headed out. Once there I again

unloaded the canoe, bikes, clubs, etc... then I set-up the tent camper again !

Exhausted, I slept like a baby that night, and the next morning embarked on

18 holes of golf. Exhausted, I returned to the campsite where our good friends

cooked us a bbq steak dinner, after which I promptly slept like a baby again.

The next morning I again loaded up the club, canoe, bikes and camper and

drove over to Elbow to go fishing, where I again unloaded the canoe, paddles

and life jackets and dragged it all to the water. Exhausted, I sat in the canoe,

gently floating, thinking of how nice a nap would be. The fishing was short

lived, the paddling was extensive, and once back to shore... I loaded it all up

yet again.

We arrived home late that afternoon. Exhausted, I fell onto the couch, and

promptly slept like a baby till morning. It has now been a week and I have yet

to do the final unloading from that trip !

By the way son, I know what I want for Father’s Day this year... a long nap !

The John Arcand Fiddle Fest, located 7

km southwest of Saskatoon, is in its

seventeenth year! The Fest prides it-

self on a history of quality music and dance

entertainment, as the home of Western

Canada’s premiere fiddle contest, and its ex-

pansive music and arts workshops. Offered

over 4 days, the Fest is an affordable experi-

ence designed with family fun in mind.

The entertainment is non-stop under the

festival’s main stage, the Roof, with music

and dance features that run from noon to

midnight. Day time features a series of short

performances from Saskatchewan’s up and

coming talent and the Fiddle Contest, while

in the evening accomplished fiddle players

and dancers convene on our stage for unfor-

gettable displays of mastery. To close out

the night, audiences are invited to flood the

dance floor for an old-time dance.

Workshops, workshops and more work-

shops! There are over 100 workshops on

offer at the Fest, and they are all free with

gate admission! The Established Workshop

series presents engaging education at all

skill levels in fiddle, guitar, jigging and

square dance. Whether you are an absolute

beginner without a fiddle or a seasoned gui-

tar player, we’ve got a workshop for you!

Our other workshop series, the Cultural

Camp, is a celebration of Métis arts that

offer interactive workshops in beading, fin-

ger weaving, traditional dance, and story-

telling.

There are plenty of opportunities for kid-

friendly fun too. The Children’s Activity

Area is open all day and provides work-

shops, games, and crafts to keep the little

ones entertained. Children are also welcome

to join the Cultural Camp during our “Kids

Can Bead” sessions.

It’s easy to get to the Fest. We’re located

just 7 km southwest of Saskatoon. There’s

plenty of parking onsite or you can take ad-

vantage of our free Shuttle Service that has

4 pick-up and drop-off points in Saskatoon.

The Shuttle Service schedule is available on

our website under the “info” tab. For Festers

coming from farther afield, we provide free

un-serviced camping or they can take advan-

tage of the fine accommodations at our spon-

sor hotel, The Heritage Inn – book early for

the Fest special. There’s plenty of ground to

trod onsite, so to ease the distance between

the main stage and campground we’ve got

the People Mover – another free shuttle

service to get you from point A to B.

From August 7-10, 2014, we’ve got your

summer plans covered! Admission is $25.00

per day or only $60.00 for the entire festival!

Tickets are sold at the gate only. Children

12 & under are admitted free with a parent

or guardian.

deductible receipt.

Minor Ball and Soccer are in full swing out at

ber! The Park Board is

ported that she at-

brary Board meeting.

SCHOOL REPORTS

VANSCOY SCHOOL

Another month has come and gone and it’s already June! Yes, the end of the

school year has come once again and summer is right around the corner.

With summer comes warm weather, which I know everyone is extremely ex-

cited for!

We apologize for not putting this in sooner but we would like to congratulate

everyone who participated in Heritage Fair. Provincials will be held in June

and we wish you the best of luck. The winners were: Rhys Murphy, Connor

Justus, Meagan Kielo (moving on to Provincials), Real Landry, Jerzy Or-

chard, Ryan Olson, and Miaya Middleton.

A new set of intramurals have begun in the gymnasium and we encourage

everyone to come out and support our floor hockey teams! As well, track and

field is well under way and we would like to congratulate everyone who has

competed, you have made our school proud!

There will be no spirit days this month but there’s more to come next year!

June also holds the annual Colour Night on June 11, and we look forward to

seeing everyone there.

As this is the last month of the school year, on behalf of the SRC, I would

like to say congratulations to the class of 2014 and we hope you all succeed

in your plans for after high school! You all have had some of the best teach-

ers to guide your way to adulthood and you all have every chance for suc-

cess. Remember, in order to succeed your desire for success must be greater

than your fear of failure.

As we look forward to next year, we would like to invite students and par-

ents to our welcome back BBQ that will be held on September 4. This has

been an annual event held at the Elementary School and we will be joining

with them in the fall. Please watch for further details in June.

Delisle Composite SRC

Hope everyone is excited for the last month of

school! We have had many exciting events in

May. Congratulations to the Grade 8 class who

competed in the boat race at SIAST on May 16th.

Good job Jonah, Remington, Tanner, and Josh for

getting the first place medal. We all had a very

fun time. Also congratulations to the people that

went to the track and field meet on May 21st. We

had 13 people qualify for the district meet. We

welcome the PSW Senior and Jazz Band on June

2nd who be preforming at the school. If you don't

know already, Vanscoy has started an outdoor ed.

Class and we have begun construction of an out-

door classroom. It's been a great year at Vanscoy.

We hope everyone has a good rest of spring and

summer and good luck to the grade 8's next year

in high school.

By Jonah Krahn

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL

We are in the final month of preschool. I know I say this every year, but I

can't believe the end of another year is here! May has been such a different

and fun month. We have had a few extra-long days to make up for the time

I was away in the winter and we've been able to spend a lot of time out-

doors. Both groups of students have handled these days quite well, al-

though quite differently!

The 3-year olds started off the month making play-dough. We then made

some pot-pourie wreaths for Mother's Day and a caterpillar out of 9 circles

for Number 9 Day. We also tried purple footprint unicorns for Purple Day,

although some of the kids didn't want their feet painted.

The 4-year olds started off their month with a visit from some baby chicks.

The students loved holding and petting the chicks and then made a hand-

print and footprint chick to go with the theme. These students also made

pot-pourie wreaths for Mother's Day. We started a safety theme and

learned how to be safe in our homes and on the farm, as well as what to do

in case of a fire. I am also hoping to get a police officer to the school to teach

us more safety. The 4-year olds had a lot of fun with bubbles one day, made

pizza another day, and made some interesting-looking purple footprint uni-

corns on Purple Day. They also spent some time in the Kindergarten class-

room playing and they planted grass seed in egg cups with the

Kindergartens, grade ones and twos.

June, of course, brings us to our last month. We will be learning about the

colour blue and the number 10, as well as continuing to practice our gradua-

tion songs. Graduation will be on Tuesday, June 17th at 10am downstairs

in the hall.

We had our registration last week and the numbers look good for next year -

7 4-year olds and 5 3-year olds. If you have a child who will be 3 or 4 by De-

cember 31st, 2014 and toilet-trained, please call Wendy Schoonbaert at 306-

978-8164 to register your child for preschool.

Have a wonderful and warm June!

3-year old days: 5, 12, 17

4-year old days: 3, 6, 10, 13, 17

Colour: blue

Number: 10

Nicer temperatures have arrived and Pike Lake School has been taking

every chance we can get to go outside and enjoy nature. Our school has

taken on the 30 X 30 nature challenge where we have attempted to spend

thirty minutes outside learning for all of the 30 days in May. As usual the

beautiful area of Pike Lake has allowed for many rewarding educational ex-

periences. Recently, all Pike Lake students had the chance to walk down to

the Pike Lake Provincial Park to take part in a naturalist afternoon, which

included the opportunity to do some pond dipping. A great time as well al

lot of learning was experienced by all.

A big thank you to everyone who came out for our Math Night on Thursday,

May 1st. The evening was a good opportunity for parents to learn and take

part in understanding the way we our teaching our students math. The

night was focused on highlighting the benefits of our math program as well

as supporting parents to feel more confident when helping their children at

home with math. Thank you to the SCC for providing the funding to feed

our guests.

OASIS GOLF RESORT

The backdrop for The Oasis is the eastern slopes

of the Bear Hills. It gives way to the great out-

wash prairie and paints a unique backdrop. To

the west is the rugged terrain of the hills, to the

east, the flat of the great Saskatchewan prairie

carved by Lake Van Scoy that is home to thou-

sands of Canada Geese the odd Whooping Crane

and Bald Eagles during the fall and spring migra-

tion. The south view is flanked by CPR tracks

that wind through the ever-changing panorama of

the Canadian prairie and now, to the north is the

expanse of the golf course itself. Situated on a

hill, the clubhouse sits like a grand beacon sur-

veying the grandeur in all directions. All this

splendor can be found a short 33-minute drive

west of Saskatoon on Highway 14.

The Oasis golf course has been built by the de-

signer, Glen Campbell. The course features mas-

sive bent grass greens (some are over 17,600 FT)

and tees, six water hazards and one of

Saskatchewan's largest sand bunkers. The course

is a playable par 72 6,943 yards from the black

tees, 6,373 yards from the

gold tees and 5,887 yard

blue tree and 5209 from

the white tees.

The avid golfer will enjoy

the challenge of The Oasis

and the weekend warriors

will love it! This is a serene

course, a place to get away

from it all. The Oasis offers

a challenging 18-hole

course, and an environment

to cater to your every need.

It has a fully-stocked pro

shop. The restaurant,

Jim's on 14, promises

meals to excite your

palate and its licensed

2,200 square foot terrace

offers an unparalleled

view overlooking the

course and the ever-

changing prairie sky.

A mere hundred years

ago on this land, the buf-

falo roamed at will. Abo-

riginals called the hills

home, raised families

and worshipped their

god with medicine

wheels, still in evidence,

just to the west, in the

shortgrass prairie which

covers the hills. As the

railroads pushed west,

the first of the settlers

arrived. The Scharf fam-

ily was one of the original eastern families to set-

tle in the area. Jim Scharf was the third genera-

tion to care for the land and help develop the

community that became Perdue.

Jim, like his grandfather and father before

him, was an active promoter of Perdue. He was a

firm believer in rural revitalization and looking at

value-added use of the land. He had already lo-

cated a successful business in the village, but

could see his community literally shrinking

around him. The area needed a boost.

Jim's passing left a void. But we are dedicated to

fulfill his vision of a one of a kind facility where

golf and nature come together.

VALLEYVIEW DELISLE

GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

A well maintained, quality 9-hole course offering

irrigated greens and fairways. Situated along a

creek bed, the natural terrain makes the course

scenic and interesting to play.

Combined with the serene and relaxed atmos-

phere, amenities include green fees and member-

ships that are easy on the pocketbook, 25

powercart rentals and a liquor endorsement. Val-

leyview is an ideal place to host company func-

tions and family reunions, with banquets

facilitated through local caterers.

become recognized as a great place to enjoy the

game of golf.

PIKE LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK

Pike Lake Provincial Park is 20 minutes from Saska-

toon and a million miles from the city.

Pike Lake is a recreation park characterized by

aspen, poplar and Manitoba maple groves; mani-

cured lawns with two picnic areas close to the main

beach; desert-like sand dunes a short hike away and

a popular outdoor pool with a waterslide. Add to

this a diverse array of plants and wildlife owing to

its location on a flood plain of the South

Saskatchewan River and you can see why Pike Lake

Provincial Park offers a delightful change of pace for

people wishing to recharge their batteries without

having to travel for hours.

Pike Lake is a shallow body of water that's called

an "oxbow" - it's a loop of the South Saskatchewan

River that became cut off from the main channel. A

barrier-free trail that starts at the main beach and

runs southward to the creek that feeds the lake in-

cludes observation decks that provide a good view of

the aquatic life and waterfowl in the vicinity. A 1.5-

km nature trail that begins at the interpretive cen-

tre, meanwhile, provides a fine opportunity to

experience the surprisingly diverse ecosystems con-

tained within this small park.

EAGLE CREEK REGIONAL PARK

Eagle Creek Regional Park is located on the pictur-

esque Eagle Creek, nestled down in a verdant valley

of trees and foliage. The park is a jewel in the crown

of the surrounding area, and offers year round fun

for the whole family. The park has electrified and

non-electrified sites, a church and a hall for wed-

dings and anniversaries, a nine-hole golf course, a

water spray park, playground equipment, a new

washroom/shower house and a new floating dock for

swimmers. Beach volleyball can also be enjoyed at

the park. A riding arena is also available, and bull

riding and trail rides have been held in the past.

Robins Nest Cafe has long been a fixture in the

community. Owners Quinten and Robin Odnokon

have built a reputation for quality meals and

friendly service over many years. The many an-

tiques that adorn this cozy restaurant almost

take a back seat to the wealth of Saskatchewan

Roughrider paraphernalia, and some days you

might run into Quinten and hear some of his

many tales of his favorite team.

They are also well known, both inside and outside

the local community, for thier exceptional cater-

ing. Professionalism and attention to detail have

made them the largest caterer for miles around.

For a sit down or take-out meal, 7 days a week, or

catering for 100 people, the Robin’s Nest is well

worth a stop.

ASQUITH

The Britannia Restaurant has taken it home of

Asquith, “The Centre of the British Empire”, seri-

ously, and has become well known for their

British Style Fish & Chips made in beer batter.

The have gained a reputation for their pizzas and

offer a complete menu of full course meals.

The Vault Restaurant resides in a former bank,

where you can still see the giant steel vault door

on display. They serve an extensive menu of au-

thentic Vietnamese cuisine that rivals any other

Vietnamese restaurant. A real gem in the commu-

nity.

DELISLE

If your need to cool down in Delisle, stop in to the

Ice Cream Island where you will find 16

flavours of hard ice crean, 15 kinds of milkshakes,

twisters, sundaes and many other cool treats. You

can also get fresh salads or chose from burgers,

wings, ribs and much more on the hot food menu.

If a home cooked sit-down meal is what you are

looking for, try the Homestead Restaurant.

Fresh, quality ingredients and ample portions are

sure to satisfy your hunger. Authentic German

cuisine “Like Grandma Cooked” is the specialty of

the Homestead. Enjoy home made meals like

Bratwurst or Schnitzel, as well a traditional

North American fare. They are open for break-

fast, lunch and supper

The Delisle Hotel Cafe has recently added

‘Asian food by Alma’ to the menu. Served every

Friday, Alma’s authentic creations are made

fresh on site and are available as single dishes or

combo plates to eat in or take out.

They also serve daily specials every Tuesday,

Wednesday and Thursday from 4pm - 10pm.

AGRICULTURE REPORTS

The technology

that is currently

available to pro-

ducers has never been

more sophisticated. In

the past 2 decades we

have gone from yield

monitors on combines

with no GPS capability

to fully integrated sys-

tems on seeding, spray-

ing and harvesting

equipment that can

record rates and link to

exact locations in the

field. This can now be

used to record rates of

applied products as well

as the resulting har-

vested yields. This ca-

pability creates

information that can be

of greater value in

terms of future farm

business management

decisions.

The amount of data

available now is ex-

tremely large, so collec-

tion and management of

the data has now be-

come a specialized skill

with the collection often

being done wirelessly to

a service provider. As

we move down this path

producers may wish to

ask questions along the

lines of who owns the

data, privacy of data

and is it movable should

you wish to change

service providers.

Data has no value un-

less it is used in such a

way that it assists in

changing actions that

ultimately result in in-

creased productivity, ef-

ficiency, profitability or

assists in management

of risk. This involves a

process of collecting

data and analyzing the

data into information

that you can then use to

make decisions. As a

result producers should

be thinking about what

data is important to

them and how they

wish to use the data to

change practices.

Individual producers

will have access to large

amounts of data from

their farm alone, but

there may be real oppor-

tunities to change prac-

tices more rapidly with

others that are using

similar practices. As an

example a producer

testing a seed variety

will see how it works on

their farm by using

their own data. How-

ever a number of pro-

ducers with the same

test can learn more

about how it performs

under different environ-

mental conditions and

management by sharing

the information. This

may be an activity that

requires some organiza-

tion among peers and

can be done through a

service provider or other

external party. Again

privacy and control of

the information may be

part of the discussion at

the outset of such activi-

ties.

Data collection and

management decisions

based on this informa-

tion is just starting to

be adopted. Look for

things to change rapidly

in the next couple of

years. Maybe you wish

to be involved in some

sort of organization that

facilitates sharing of

data? The first step is

to talk with some of the

people that are provid-

ing data management

services and see if it has

potential on your farm.

As seeding pro-

gresses, it is im-

portant to keep

in mind that several in-

sect pests could pose a

threat to canola produc-

tion in the Western

Provinces. For instance,

flea beetles overwinter

as adults and are one of

the first insects to move

into an emerging canola

field. Keeping this in

mind, it could be benefi-

cial to use an insecti-

cide/fungicide seed

treatment combination.

Late seeding can some-

times increase the risks

of insect damage occur-

ring in canola fields.

Since seeding is occur-

ring a little later this

year, other practices can

be used for protection

against insect pests

such as increasing the

seeding rates or direct

seeding into stubble.

The most important

step for defense is to

scout the fields through-

out the season espe-

cially during the

seedling stages. For ex-

ample, the action

threshold for flea bee-

tles on canola is 25% of

cotyledon leaf area con-

sumed. The traditional

symptoms of flea beetle

damage in canola in-

clude shot-hole feeding

and girdling of young

stems. The pinched-like

symptom of young

stems can occur during

unfavorable tempera-

tures (i.e. wind, cooler

temperatures, precipita-

tion) so it is essential to

monitor for damage

closer to the soil surface.

If treated seed is not

used or is not successful

in protecting the field, a

foliar-applied insecticide

may be used.

It is also important to

note that there are

many other insects that

can impact yield and

health of canola plants

later in the growing sea-

son. Some of these in-

sects include the bertha

armyworm, diamond-

back moth, cabbage

seedpod weevil and

wireworms. Informa-

tion on economic thresh-

olds and different

control methods for

each pest can be found

on the Saskatchewan

Agriculture Ministry

website or 2014 Guide

to Crop Protection.

Spring is slowly ar-

riving and the

feed stacks are

quickly disappearing.

Once the pairs are in

the pasture, time will

fly by and haying sea-

son will soon be upon

us. It is important to

consider your end of

feed season inventory

and evaluate against

your intended plan.

While forage stored in

the stack will deterio-

rate over time, the prac-

tise of carrying over 25

to 50 per cent of next

years feed requirements

is an excellent manage-

ment practise in regions

where feed production is

highly variable year to

year – also known as

the Palliser triangle.

When winter stays

longer, it is good to

know that the feed is al-

ready made and doesn’t

need to be sourced else-

where. Yet once the car-

ryover is eaten, it is no

longer available for next

year. Building up those

feed reserves can hap-

pen in a single year, but

so can their disappear-

ance.

Another factor that

often eats into the feed

reserves is the expan-

sion mode. The feed is

already made so we can

keep five per cent more

replacement heifers,

which turn into more

bred heifers and larger

requirements for stored

feed. Fundamentally we

know that we need to

make more feed to keep

more animals, but the

temptation to whittle

the pile down is pretty

easy to succumb to. On

an operation that pro-

duces and uses 1000

bales per winter and

starts the feeding sea-

son with 1300 bales (30

per cent carryover), it

will only take an extra

30 bales the first year to

carry the five per cent

extra replacement

heifers, reducing the

carryover to 270 bales.

A normal haying season

happens and 1000 bales

get made for a starting

inventory of 1270 bales.

The following year,

those extra bred heifers

now require 45 bales,

plus another larger re-

placement heifer group

is retained requiring 30

bales for an increased

total demand of 75

bales. After feeding the

regular herd plus those

few extras, the feed in-

ventory is down to 195

bales at the end of the

winter feeding season.

Then comes the hiccup -

- a dry spring reduces

hay yields by 10 per

cent. Starting inventory

for the third winter is

195 bales from last year

and 900 made this year.

The herd has grown so

that demand is now

going to be 1120 bales

for the winter. A quick

calculation indicates

that you will come up 25

bales short for the third

feeding season. Not in-

surmountable but it cer-

tainly shows how 30 per

cent extra inventory can

be reduced to none.

12 June 2014

MP REPORTwww.rmreview.net RM Review

Last week, Prime Minister

Stephen Harper announced the

introduction of the Justice for

Animals in Service Act

(Quanto’s Law). This legislation

will ensure that those who harm

law enforcement, service and

Canadian Armed Forces ani-

mals face serious consequences.

Our Government recognizes the

special role that these animals

play in protecting our communi-

ties and improving the quality

of life of Canadians. The pro-

posed legislation is aimed at de-

nouncing and deterring the

wilful harming of specially

trained animals used to help

law enforcement officers, per-

sons with disabilities or the

Canadian Armed Forces.

The introduction of this legisla-

tion fulfills a commitment made

by our Government in the 2013

Speech from the Throne to rec-

ognize the daily risks taken by

police officers and their service

animals in their efforts to en-

force the law and protect Cana-

dians and communities. The

legislation honours Quanto, a

police dog who was stabbed to

death while helping to appre-

hend a fleeing suspect in Ed-

monton, Alberta, in

October 2013. Quanto had

four years of decorated

service and had partici-

pated in

more than 100 arrests.

Quick Facts:

The legislation pro-

poses Criminal Code

amendments that would

create a new offence

specifically prohibiting

the injuring or killing of

animals trained and

being used to help law en-

forcement officers, per-

sons with disabilities or

the Canadian Armed

Forces.

Persons con-

victed of such

an of-

fence could face up to five years’

imprisonment, with a manda-

tory minimum sentence of six

months in prison in cases where

a law enforcement animal is

killed while assisting a law en-

forcement officer in enforcing

the law and the offence is prose-

cuted by indictment.

If a law enforcement officer is

assaulted or a law enforcement

animal is injured or killed while

on duty, the sentence for that

offence would be served consec-

utively to any other sentence

imposed on the offender arising

out of the same event.

The RCMP currently has 157

police service dogs in service

across Canada: 135 are general

duty profile dogs and 22 are de-

tection profile dogs. They are

used to help find lost persons,

track criminals, and search for

items such as narcotics, explo-

sives and crime scene evidence.

In addition to the RCMP,

provincial and municipal police

services across Canada have in-

tegrated police service dogs as

part of their everyday service

delivery in our communities.

Canada Border Services

Agency has 53 dog-and-handler

teams that help to detect con-

traband drugs and firearms, un-

declared currency, and food,

plant and animal products.

Correctional Services Canada

uses dogs to help stop the flow

of illicit drugs and contraband

into federal correctional institu-

tions. They have over 100 dog-

and-handler teams across

Canada.

The Justice for Animals in

Service Act (Quanto’s Law) ap-

plies to law enforcement ani-

mals, service animals and

Canadian Armed Forces ani-

mals. In practical terms, dogs

would be the primary animals

protected by this new legislation

given they are the animals most

often trained and used to assist

law enforcement officers and

persons with disabilities. How-

ever, horses are also used by

some police forces. Also other

kinds of animals can be trained

as service animals to assist peo-

ple with disabilities. They all

would be protected under the

Justice for Animals in Service

Act (Quanto’s Law).

Today,

Saskatchewan is home to more peo-

ple, more activity and more opportu-

nities than ever before. This is

reflected in our province’s unemploy-

ment rate of 3.4 per cent – the low-

est in all of Canada, less than half of

the national average and our lowest

level ever on record.

Our strong and growing economy

is driven by the contributions of a di-

verse and growing population. This

growth means we can deliver a bal-

anced budget while still making the

important investments needed to en-

sure Saskatchewan is a great place

to live, work and play. Our govern-

ment’s seventh consecutive balanced

budget and continued investments

in infrastructure and people were

the highlights of the spring session

of the Legislative Assembly.

Some of the investments and new

initiatives announced during the

spring session include the new

Regina Bypass project, a commit-

ment to a new Saskatoon commuter

bridge, passing lanes and twinning

projects on a number of

Saskatchewan highways, a new

Saskatchewan Hospital in North

Battleford and the renewal of Victo-

ria Hospital in Prince Albert.

Our government is committed to

education and, to that end, we are

building nine new joint-use schools

in Regina, Saskatoon, Warman and

Martensville; we’re investing in up-

grades to bandwidth to increase in-

ternet speeds in schools and we’re

investing in 1,000 new training

seats and doubling the funding for

initiatives to improve education and

employment outcomes for First Na-

tions and Métis people. Our govern-

ment is also investing in

infrastructure that includes a new

Trades and Technology Centre in

Yorkton, continued construction at

Southeast Regional College in Wey-

burn and the Health Sciences Cen-

tre at the U of S in Saskatoon.

These are only some of the projects

introduced or funded this session

that will keep Saskatchewan on the

path of steady growth.

With the spring session now be-

hind us, my colleagues and I get

back to our home constituencies to

focus on our most important work –

listening to and representing our

constituents. This feedback is es-

sential as it helps to form our gov-

ernment’s priorities moving forward.

One of our ongoing priorities is

providing support for those who

need it and the Discounted Bus Pass

Program is one way we’re able to do

that. Whether it’s getting groceries

or going to appointments, this pro-

gram helps our province’s most vul-

nerable people get where they need

to go. The Discounted Bus Pass Pro-

gram allows participating cities to

set the retail rate they charge to the

client, while still ensuring it is at

least $25 below the full fare. It

makes accessing public transit eas-

ier for those receiving income assis-

tance and, in many cases, eligible

riders will only pay approximately

one-third the cost of a regular bus

pass.

Just a reminder that extra care

and attention is required now that

highway construction crews have

begun their work building and main-

taining Saskatchewan’s highways.

Simplified signage is in place direct-

ing drivers exactly when to slow to

60 km/h. Drivers who don’t run the

risk of facing three times the normal

fines for speeding. Wherever you go

this spring and summer, safe trav-

els!

Food for ThoughtLease Land for Sale C.M. (Red) Williams

The Saskatchewan government has

taken one more step in the ideo-

logical trend that has been evident

over its tenure. The land previously

held or lease with restrictions on its use

has been a contention for years. The

larger ranchers and farmers have

wanted to have title to their leased land

in a long time lease while the smaller

operators would prefer that it continue

as is because of the cost of purchase.

The claim by the Minister of Agriculture

that it is alright because the lessees

have been good stewards of the land is

pure “poppy cock.” They have been re-

quired to maintain the land in its origi-

nal state which is the objective of the

government’s ownership whether the

land is suitable for grain production or

not.

We have still not seen the end of the

move to sell-off the PFRA lands to indi-

viduals or groups and therefore exposing

them to cultivation and resale. The

whole picture is one in which land held

in trust by government is being aban-

doned and eventually lost of its original

purpose of protection from cultivation.

It is all a matter of political ideology;

whether you believe in conservation or

in the total exploitation of the land re-

source.

With little expectation that an election

will change the administration in the

next term, it behooves the public to ob-

ject as strongly as possible that the

wholesale sale of protected lands is

counter to the will of the majority.

Opinions are those of the author.

After the terrible

american re-

make of Godzilla

in 1998, we can forget

all about that with this

masterpiece of a mon-

ster movie. Godzilla is

directed by Gareth Ed-

wards and stars Bryan

Cranston, Aaron Tay-

lor-Johnson, Ken

Watanabe, and Eliza-

beth Olsen.

Let me start by say-

ing that hardly do the

use the word epic to de-

scribe a movie. I use

other worlds like out-

standing, amazing, per-

fect, and great. But

this was truly an epic

piece of film making.

The story starts us

with Dr. Joe Brody

(Bryan Cranston) los-

ing somebody close to

him in an accident at a

nuclear power plant. !5

years later, he is still

trying to figure out

what happened that

day. Joe needs the help

of his son, Ford (Aaron

Taylor-Johnson) to un-

cover the secrets of

what happened. After a

bunch of twists and

turns, monsters are re-

leased unto the earth

and only one thing can

stop them, Godzilla

himself.

The acting in this

movie is great, espe-

cially from Bryan

Cranston. He is worth

the price of admission

alone. Aaron Taylor-

Johnson on the other

hand is where this

movie falls flat. His

character is not that in-

teresting and to have

him as the lead was a

poor casting choice in

my decision, he wasn't

great but he was also

not the worst. But the

reason we are all here

is because of the king

of the monsters him-

self.

Godzilla is amazing!

Every single shot that

has him in it is grand

and when you see him

you want to stand and

cheer. His introduction

into the movie is just

outstanding and gave

me goosebumps when I

saw him. His roar is

where all the awesome-

ness happens. Because

of our great theatre in

Saskatoon, I was really

able to enjoy Godzilla

in all of it's 3D monster

glory.

Last but not least,

the third act. The first

and second act gave

teases to a huge fight

that happens between

Godzilla and the other

monsters. When the

third act is finally exe-

cuted, the pay-off is

worth it. I won't spoil

anything but I was al-

most in tears with hap-

piness. I walked out of

the theatre with a

smile on my face and

major anticipation to

watch it again.

The Vanscoy and District Early

Learning Center has been cho-

sen as one of only a dozen

sites in the province to be a Host

Site for 2014. A host site visit is one

of the professional learning opportu-

nities offered by the ministry of edu-

cation in partnership with specific

early childhood programs. Early

childhood educators can visit one or

more sites that are continuously

working toward implementing high

quality practices for young children.

The Vanscoy Early Learning Center

has been working together with a

mentor to enhance the development

of Play and exploration in their cen-

ter.

The Ministry of Education has de-

veloped the Play and Exploration:

Early Learning Program Guide to

support your preschool-aged child’s

early learning. Child care centres

and homes, Prekindergarten pro-

grams and preschools are encour-

aged to use the guide to enhance

children’s learning.

The Ministry of Education’s Early

Learning Program Guide focuses on

learning through play. Research

shows that children learn best

through play, and that play helps

children learn the skills they need to

do well in school, build relationships

and understand others. When chil-

dren explore something that inter-

ests them, they learn more quickly

and remember what they have

learned more easily. Play such as

this can provide opportunities to

practice things like counting (the

number of cows, the number of cars

that can fit in the garage) or naming

colours (the brown house goes first,

only the red truck can park in the

garage). Your Child Plays..Ex-

plores...Learns (Saskatchewan Min-

istry of Education) For more

information go to

www.education.gov.sk.ca/ELCC.

More recently the center was cho-

sen to pilot the new Essential Learn-

ing Experiences document which is a

supporting document to Play and

Exploration which provides further

information regarding the domains

of holistic learning for preschool

aged children. The document in-

cludes further learning in the areas

of social/emotional, Physical, spiri-

tual and Intellectual development.

Educators in the center have also

been working closely with the

Healthy Start Program based out of

the University of Saskatchewan.

This program ensures children are

getting enough physical activity and

develop healthy eating habits.

The Vanscoy Early Learning Cen-

ter would like to thank the families

that attended the Early Childhood

Educator Day Parade and BBQ,

there was a great turn out again this

year. The month of May was Early

Childhood Education month we

would like to send a big thank you to

our Early Childhood Educators in

our province.

For information on our programs

please call the center at 306-668-

Where does the time go, such

a familiar phrase! Once

again the time has come for

new animateurs to be chosen to help

us get ready for Culture Days on

September 26, 27 & 28th. You may

recall that I was an amatuer a few

years back and since then I have

been a strong supporter of Culture

Days and the amatuer project. These

artists from various disciplines are

hired to come out to any and all

Saskatchewan communities, schools,

museums and organizations to en-

courage culture in community as

well as culture days events at no

charge. I must tell you they are an

invaluable resource. The one in our

area this year is Kevin Powers and

he is a force to be reckoned with, a

wonderful gentleman with a wealth

of knowledge and experience in

music & theatre that includes

Broadway. He has come up with a

project that will resonate with us all.

Kevin wants to record the stories of

Saskatchewan and put them up on

Itunes as podcasts for everyone to

enjoy. He is looking for people with

stories. Hey, that’s all of us! The

passing of my mother a year ago has

made this idea a bit bitter sweet, for

she had a story, an incredible story

of survival and strength and we

don’t have much of it saved and it is

gone now, forever. So I encourage

you to do a couple of things. First,

save those stories! Write them down,

record them on your phone or your

computer. Technology makes it so

easy for us to do these things and no

one ever regrets saving a memory.

Second find out about the anima-

teurs this year and have them out to

your group, school or town. Check
