Berit Bartles will soon be open-

ing the Homestead Restau-

rant in Delisle. Berit is a cook

with over 35 years of experience in

the industry. She and her husband

immigrated from Germany in 2009.

For the last couple of years she

worked as a line cook at “Calories”

in Saskatoon, but has always

wanted to have her own restaurant

again. Berit would like to run it the

way she used to with home style

cooking of typical German (and Eu-

ropean) meals.

The menu will include some of the

"common dishes" but Berit hopes,

that her guests will try out the "lit-

tle different food". (ask for a sample,

if you are unsure if you will like it.)

The Homestead will not be a fast

food restaurant, everything is made

from scratch, with fresh ingredients

sourced from local suppliers, and ‘a

lot of love’.

In addition to the menu, she will

have daily specials posted in the

restaurant each day.

Berit expects to open the doors

sometime in the first week of May.

Check out her website for the

menu and watch for an announce-

ment on her opening.

The R.M. of Vanscoy council held it’s annual

Ratepayers Dinner and Meeting on April

9th.

About 100 people enjoyed a catered roast beef

meal, from Robin’s Nest Cafe in Vanscoy, to start

the evening. The meeting began with Councillor

Ron Stevens announcing that Administrator

Shawn Antosh will be retiring after 25 years of

service. After that the inaugural Citizen of the

Year Award being presented to Linda Wright for

her years of contribution to the community. Nom-

inations for 2014 can be made until December 31.

That was followed be a report from Councillor

George Kool regarding the roads in the RM. The

RM spends over $1 million on gravel alone, and

the wet weather in the last two years has added

to the up-keep challenges. They are beginning a 5

year plan to build new roads and currently have 4

graders that they will be replacing every 4 years.

Reeve Floyd Chapel reported on the province’s in-

tention to twin highway 7 from the Cory potash

mine to Delisle. He said the province expects to

do the project in three phases; Phase 1 will bring

the divided blacktop from Cory to one mile east of

Vanscoy, Phase 2 will take the new highway

north of the Village of Vanscoy to one mile west of

the Village, Phase 3 will see the highway finished

from west of Vanscoy through to Delisle. There

has been much concern expressed by the commu-

nity, to the province, regarding the bypassing of

Vanscoy. It will effectively limit future growth for

the Village between the new highway to the north

and the rail line on the south side of the existing

highway, plus cause local traffic, like school buses

to cross the divided highway to get to Vanscoy.

There were presentations from three guest

speakers. Ray Orth, V.P. of SARM, which the RM

is a member of, spoke on their recent activities.

Gord Sparks, from the U of S, made a presenta-

tion showing how organizations like Municipal

Governments, use Asset Management accounting

to budget to maintain roads, bridges and build-

ings.

Jeff Dickson, Community Relations for STARS

Air Ambulance, gave an insightful presentation

on the role STARS plays in our lives right here.

They have been called to our area 32 times in

2013. He encouraged rural residents to register

their locations directly with STARS for fastest re-

sponse time. You can go to their website at

www.stars.ca or call 888-888-4567.

The RM of Vanscoy awarded their first

annual Citizen of the Year Award to

Linda Wright. Linda was nominated

for here tireless efforts with the Vanscoy &

District Agricultural Society.

Linda moved from Saskatoon to Vanscoy in

August of 2001. She recalls, “One day in

Feb 2001 my husband came home from

doing business at the Agrium Potash mine

and he said to me ‘I found us an acreage’

and I still remember saying, I didn’t know

we were looking for one”.

She was excited when she learnt there was

a community fair, as she had grown up as a

child participating in fair activities. Within

a couple of years of living in the commu-

nity, there was a notice that membership

was low and that there was a need for com-

munity involvement. She attended a meet-

ing and has been involved ever since

serving as a director and for several years

and currently as the president. The Society

is a non-profit organization of volunteers

with the goal of ‘Promoting Agriculture &

Rural Living through Education, Enter-

tainment and Community Development’.

Some of the workshops and classes offered

over the years were Quilting workshops,

Knitting workshops, Perennial Exchange,

Boat Safe course, Food Safety course, a

Pulse food workshop and a Farm Safety

Day held last Sept, which was offered to

grade 4 and 5 students. They also offer a

$500 Bursary to Grade 12 Students who

live within the RM. They celebrated the

30th Annual Summer Fair in 2013, with a

light horse show, gymkhana, exhibits and

Kidsland.

“One of our major accomplishments for

2013 was the Rejuvenation of the Riding

Arena located in the Village of Vanscoy”

says Linda, “Hopefully, many riders will

make use of this facility for years to come.

“I would like the residents of the RM to un-

derstand is that the Society includes all of

the RM” says Linda “which means Asquith,

Delisle, Vanscoy, Grandora, and Pike Lake.

I encourage you to get involved or let us

know other classes, courses or events that

we could sponsor”.

“I thank the RM of Vanscoy for this won-

derful award as well as the nominator who

felt that I was worthy. This is very hum-

bling, as those who volunteer do not expect

recognition”. She also thanks the directors

of the Society for “ believing in my leader-

ship and the things that we accomplished

as an organization”.

Food for Thought

As I recall, the function of a

university is to provide stu-

dents with a post-secondary

education, or at least that was the

way it was until about 1945. Then a

whole new crop of PhD’s came on

board and research became a driving

force that began to eclipse the aca-

demic responsibilities. University

Outreach became an after-thought

and professors received little or no

credit for their efforts in the commu-

nity beyond the Ivory Towers. And

of course the industrial complex ad-

vanced with its own development re-

search, but depending on

universities for their basic studies.

That was the science colleges, and

all the while the arts languished

from a lack of financial support to

their scholarly requirements. But

the wisdom-of-the-day was to build

ever larger buildings for the sciences

with elaborate laboratories and of

course more research directed pro-

fessors and their support staff. In

the case of the College of Agricul-

ture, it grew from Department

Heads plus a Dean and one secre-

tary to a Dean’s office with several

specialists with no academic respon-

sibilities. And unfortunately it

didn’t end there, because the admin-

istration of the University grew dis-

proportionately as staff were added

each time there was a new initiative.

Professors were treated like tame

caged specimens in the hope that

they would spawn money-making in-

ventions.

For all the heavy-weight planners at

the federal, provincial and univer-

sity levels they couldn’t devise a

method of sustaining the core objec-

tive of a university: to teach stu-

dents at the post-secondary level.

Opinions are those of the author.

Youth Group Dines Out in Style

On April 3rd the Delisle-Vanscoy United

Church Youth Group were treated to an

evening of wonderful food and fun. The

group knew they were having a progressive sup-

per, but didn’t know where they would be going to

dine, and even better, how they were going to get

there. At 4:00pm Living Skies Limousine pulled

up to the United Church in Delisle with their

limo-bus and the excitement began. They headed

out of town to the home of Garth & Lynn Bayne

where a wonderful spread of appetizers had been

prepared with the help of their daughter Susan.

They introduced themselves by their alien names

(your name pronounced backwards) and made up

a meaning for that name. This became the intro-

duction at each stop of the progressive supper.

They then boarded the limo-bus again and pro-

ceeded to the home of Margo & Lorne Knittig

where they enjoyed a delicious soup and salad

course. From there they traveled to the Vanscoy

Senior Centre where they enjoyed a wonderful

potluck main course and the company of many

Vanscoy senior citizens. They then had an enter-

taining trip to the home of Nettie Wiebe for

mouth-watering desserts. At 8:00pm the group re-

turned to the United Church, very full and ab-

solutely delighted with the whole evenings

experience.

A special thank you

bouquet was pre-

sented to each of the

dinners hosts.

A huge thank you to

James Rolston for do-

nating his time and

the use of the limo-

bus from Living Skies

Limousine. Being to-

gether as a group in

the limo during the

travels made the

evening extra-special.

SCHOOL REPORTS

VANSCOY SCHOOL

Another month has come and gone, but the excitement is still here. We have

many things to share with you this month. Our badminton teams played ex-

ceptionally well this year, we are proud of you!! Track and Field preseason

conditioning has also begun so get your running shoes and throwing arms

ready. There is a track meet in Moose Jaw on the May the 3rd; we hope

everyone competing does well! There are also a few important dates to note

in the upcoming month:

May 2- Gym Blast: make sure to wear your team colors!!

May 19- No School

For the past months students from Delisle Composite have been prepar-

ing to head out on the annual travel club trip. This year we were lucky

enough to have two trips offered: a Germany trip and a Switzerland and

Italy trip. We have heard nothing but good stories from these two trips and

we look forward to hearing even more.

Another big event that has been happening in our school is out annual

heritage fair. The displays this year were spectacular and we were lucky

enough to be able to go and listen to some of them. We hope that all of you

keep up your incredible work ethic!

We hope you all have a great month and you’ll hear from us again next

month!

Delisle Composite SRC

Welcome to the month of May! April was a fairly busy month. Our bad-

minton season came to an end. Thanks to all of the teams who participated

and represented our school at playoffs. Our Fine Arts Performance of “Trea-

sure Island” went very well. A huge pat on the back goes to all the perform-

ers and staff that were involved in making it another successful event. We

had our school Bingo, which brought out a lot of people. We appreciate all

who attended and the people who put the night together, as it was a very

positive evening. Eric Wilson visited our school and talked to the students

about the importance of literacy. He was very engaging and the students

took a lot away from his presentation. With nice weather hopefully around

the corner we have our Track and Field season starting. Students from

grades 6 to 8 will be practicing hard during the month or May to represent

our school. We hope you have a great May!

Welcome to May, although as I am writing this, welcome to December seems

more appropriate! We keep singing our spring songs at preschool in the

hopes that spring weather will appear, but I think we will probably jump

from winter to summer.

Preschool started off in April on April Fool's Day. I changed the room

around, mixed up our routine, and played a few more jokes on the students.

They seemed to catch on by the end of the day. Both groups made ducks for

Yellow Day and they also learned about the number 8, making octopi and

spiders. The 4-year olds enjoyed making play-dough one day and creating

pictures with coloured eggshells on another day. Both groups had lots of fun

at their Easter parties, colouring eggs, hunting for candy, and playing

Easter games.

There are lots of days in May for both groups! Throughout the month we

will learn about the number 9 and the colour purple, as well as make Mom

something special. I am hoping to do some field trips, bring in special peo-

ple, and visit with the Kindergartens at Pike Lake during the month.

Hopefully this weather turns around and we can start to spend more of our

days outside. Read all about our May adventures next month!

3-year old days: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29

4-year old days: 2, 6, 9, 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, 30

Colour: purple

Number: 9

Preschool Registration: Thursday, May 15th 6:30-7:30 upstairs at the hall

With the coming of spring we at Pike Lake School are appreciative of all the

growth and change that has occurred throughout the current school year.

We are also looking towards planting new seeds to enhance and grow cur-

rent learning initiatives.

We continue to work hard on our school goal of improving reading fluency

and comprehension. Students are taking part in reader’s workshop, inquiry

projects, and diving deeper into using the comprehension strategies. We are

excited to see the benefits of parents/guardians continuing to work with stu-

dents at home. The benefits of parents talking to their children about them-

selves as readers are truly immeasurable. Discussing with young readers

the books that they read and helping them to choose the ‘just right’ books

for their reading abilities has truly improved students reading confidence at

Pike Lake School. It is fantastic to look at our reading results and see

growth in all of our students. We are proud of the work that we do at Pike

Lake School and believe that student success should be acknowledged and

celebrated! Well done, students!

Exciting learning connected to our literacy goal continued at Pike Lake

School with our second author presentation of 2014! Indeed, we had the

pleasure of welcoming Canadian author, Eric Wilson, to our school. Mr. Wil-

son spoke to our Grade 3 and 4 students about his collection of mystery nov-

els. He also discussed his journey as a writer, emphasizing to our students

the important steps and skills it takes to be an effective writer. The stu-

dents were captivated by his engaging presentation and inspired to become

better readers and writers. Mr. Wilson also provided some concrete tips for

the students to improve their own written stories and provided insight on

how to become an author themselves. In the end Eric Wilson’s vision of hav-

ing children read enthusiastically and with passion was met in Pike Lake

School. Indeed, Mr. Wilson’s books have been flying off the library shelves

since his visit.

The School Community Council Annual General Meeting and elections will

take place on Wednesday, May 7th @ 3:30 p.m. at the school. The SCC is a

great way for parents and guardians to become involved in our school hap-

penings! It is a wonderful opportunity to play a role in positive changes to

improve student learning within our school. We encourage you to give this

School Community Council a try! All nomination forms should be returned

to the school on or before Wednesday, May 7th, 2014.

Did you know that kids who spend time in nature aren’t just less stressed –

they’re more creative, have sharper memories and attention spans, and even

have better social relationships! To help everyone in our school be better at

the above, we are going to take on the 30 X 30 Nature Challenge presented

by the David Suzuki Foundation (DSF). During the month of May, DSF is

asking Canadians to pledge to spend 30 minutes in nature every day for 30

days! Our school will be taking on that challenge with gusto!!

Local resident Diane Net-

skar, owner of ‘Like a

Rock’, provides creative

landscaping solutions with

DEKORRA Rock Enclosures.

The product line includes artifi-

cial Rocks, Edging and Garden

& Water features. The hollow

rocks come in various sizes and

colors and are ideal for covering

unsightly utilities in your yard

such as septic tanks, wells, elec-

trical boxes, tree stumps or any-

thing else that detracts from the

natural beauty of your yard.

They also make beautiful addi-

tions to your landscaping, even

if you don’t need to specifically

hide anything.

They are made of ‘Real Rock’

material that will not fade from

sunlight or crack in the cold.

The rocks are light weight and

come with heavy duty ground

stakes to secure them outdoors.

Their use is not just limited to

yards. They make wonderful ad-

ditions to trade show booths, ex-

hibits, product demonstrations

or whatever your imagination

comes up with. They come in a

variety of colors, shapes and

sizes to fit any application you

have.

Aside from the natural looking

rock enclosures there are also

planters, edging rocks and

water features. They even offer

custom plaques if you want to

display your house address on a

rock structure. When it comes to

landscaping with replicated

rocks, Diane has some design

techniques to keep in mind...

Unity by Dominance - the

property of a plant or object to

attract and hold attention, mak-

ing the object an important fea-

ture or focal point.

The ability of an object to cap-

ture attention usually depends

on contrast with adjacent ob-

jects utilizing color, size, form,

texture, etc.

Unity of Three - the concept of

everything fitting

together.

Features that are grouped in

threes, or in other groups of odd

numbers, five or seven, feel

more balanced to the eye and

give a stronger sense of unity

than even numbers. Odd num-

bers allow for staggered varia-

tions in height, such as small,

medium and large, that provide

more interest. Odd numbers are

often seen or perceived as a

group.

Unity of Interconnection -

the concept of physical linking

(touching) of various features.

Although all features are linked

to other features, the key is to

make the linkage seamless so

that the features blend in or fit.

Unity by Simplicity - the con-

cept of reducing nonessentials to

avoid a chaotic look that result

in clarity and purpose.

AGRICULTURE REPORTS

Irecently read an ar-

ticle that pointed

out that calf birth

weights are often higher

in winters where day-

time temperatures have

been lower that the his-

torical average. Accord-

ing to Environment

Canada the five year av-

erage temperature for

the month of February

in the west central area

of Saskatchewan is

minus 12 degrees Cel-

sius. The average tem-

perature for this area in

February for 2014 was

minus nineteen degrees

Celsius. This spurred

me to do some further

digging – was this an

old wives tale, or could

it be true?

In the 1990’s re-

searchers from the Uni-

versity of Nebraska

conducted a study on

birth weight and calving

difficulties as impacted

by winter weather. For

six years data was col-

lected from March calv-

ing heifers of similar

breeding that were all

bred using artificial in-

semination to the same

calving-ease Angus bull

(same bull used over the

six year study). Aver-

age and wind chill tem-

peratures from

December – February of

each year were

recorded, all calves were

weighed at birth and

any heifers requiring

assistance were noted.

Interestingly, calving

weights were heaviest

and calving difficulty

was greater in the

colder years.

This group found almost

a 1:1 relationship be-

tween decrease in aver-

age temperature and

increase in birth weight

of the calf. For every

one degree Fahrenheit

drop in average or wind

chill temperature, there

was roughly a one

pound increase in calf

birth weight. A one de-

gree Fahrenheit drop

would be equivalent to a

~0.56 degree Celsius

drop. The theory behind

the increase in weight

lies in the premise that

mammals shift blood

flow from the extremi-

ties to major internal or-

gans during extreme

cold. As a result of this

shift in blood flow, more

blood and more nutri-

ents flow to the fetus. In

addition, voluntary feed

intake increases during

bouts of cold weather

and there are changes

in various hormones

that regulate fetal

growth.

Given that the average

temperature in Febru-

ary was seven Celsius

degrees below the his-

torical average, this

could equate to calves

that are ~12.5 pounds

heavier than we might

expect. It is important

to note that under no

circumstances should

we reduce feed levels or

amount of energy in late

pregnancy diets in an

attempt to reduce birth

weight. Reducing en-

ergy and feeding will

cause weak calves and

thin cows, and thin

cows will have poor con-

ception rates during the

breeding season.

If you are planning to

seed a new forage

stand this spring,

there are questions to

consider before putting

any seeds into the

ground.

1. Are there any

weed issues present in

the area to be seeded?

Identifying and control-

ling any weed issues

prior to forage establish-

ment is crucial. Close

attention should be

given to perennial

weeds. Perennial weeds

are very competitive

with forages during es-

tablishment and can

significantly reduce fu-

ture forage yields. Con-

trol of perennial weeds

can be difficult and ex-

pensive once the forage

stand is established, so

make the effort to con-

trol them prior to seed-

ing. Be mindful of the

re-cropping restrictions

that follow with herbi-

cide use for perennial

weed control. Herbi-

cides with the active in-

gredients of picloram,

metsulfuron methyl or

aminopyralid, all have

long term re-cropping

restrictions. There are

also limited in-crop her-

bicide options available

for use on forages, espe-

cially legume/grass

mixed stands.

2. What are the soil

conditions of the area to

be seeded?

Knowing the type of soil

and growing conditions

of the area will aid in

selecting the most suit-

able forage species.

Forage species are not

equal in their capability

to tolerate conditions

such as drought, flood-

ing or salinity. Taking

the time to look into

which forage species are

suitable for specific soil

conditions will be worth

the effort. A producer

should also consider

submitting a soil sam-

ple for nutrient analy-

sis. Soil test results

help determine the fer-

tilizer requirements for

the new forage crop and

indicate any nutrient

deficiencies that may

limit forage production.

It is important to re-

member that grasses

will benefit the most

from nitrogen, while

legumes will benefit

from phosphorus, potas-

sium and sulphur appli-

cations. A balanced

approach to soil fertility

is important. If any one

nutrient is lacking, pro-

duction will be affected

and the response to ap-

plying other nutrients

will be reduced.

3. What is the in-

tended use for this for-

age stand?

Identifying the end use

of the forage stand will

help to select forage

species suited for the in-

tended purpose. Most

forage stands are grown

for hay, pasture or a

dual role. When har-

vested as a hay crop,

the forage stand may in-

clude a large proportion

of alfalfa or grasses that

have a higher yield po-

tential and a slower

rate of regrowth. If the

forage stand is to be

used for grazing, the

stand may include

grasses that have excel-

lent regrowth qualities

with a very low propor-

tion of alfalfa or no al-

falfa at all.

Alternatively, non-bloat

legumes, such as sain-

foin and cicer milkvetch,

may be considered for

use in a grazing system.

Non-bloat legumes can

be used in mixtures

with alfalfa and/or

grasses to improve the

forage yield, quality and

to reduce the risk of

bloat.

4. How long do you

intend to keep this for-

age stand in produc-

tion?

Forage species differ in

stand persistence.

Choosing forages that

meet the goals of the

crop rotation is impor-

tant. A short duration

forage stand integrated

into an annual crop ro-

tation will contain dif-

ferent forage species

than a long lived forage

stand intended for

ground cover, reclama-

tion or restoration.

Decide on the forage

species to include in a

mixture based on your

answers to the above

questions. Forage seed

companies offer a wide

range of pre-mixed for-

age seed options, but

will also prepare custom

blended forage mixtures

to meet specific pro-

ducer goals. For more

information on forage

selection and establish-

ment considerations,

ing a bigger issue

on many farms. This

gets more challenging

when available workers

are also attracted to

other competing busi-

nesses which offer

higher wages and more

benefits. In this article I

will focus on the labour

availability.

There are two principal

sources of farm labour

pools: (1) finding and

hiring a skilled labourer

from suitable local

sources, and (2) hiring

from the international

pool.

Local sources include

the farmers who have

rented their land, adults

from other farms in

area, and relatively

young retirees from

other industries that re-

main in the community

and who still want to

work. Even those who

are not directly con-

nected to a farm could

be a good source. If they

are interested in agri-

culture, they may be a

good employee but they

will probably need some

training.

The Ag Operator pro-

gram from Parkland

College is a program

that provides training to

labourers who have no

experience or it could be

another source for

skilled farm labourers.

A pilot project of the

Agricultural Operator

Program is offering

hands-on training to in-

dividuals interested in

or currently working in

primary agriculture.

For more information,

please contact the Park-

land College at

www.parklandcollege.sk

.ca or phone 1-306-783-

6566.

The second option is

finding and recruiting

labourers through the

Temporary Foreign

Worker Program

(TFWP) and

Saskatchewan Immi-

grant Nominee Program

(SINP) for international

workers. Under the

TFWP, the workers

must be from Mexico or

certain other Caribbean

countries and the activi-

ties must be related to

on-farm primary agri-

culture.

For more information

on hiring a TFW, please

contact Human Re-

source development

Canada at

http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/j

obs/foreign_workers/agr

iculture/comparison.sht

ml

Also, several local farm

labour consulting firms

can also help find and

recruit farm labourers

for the producer from

both local as well as in-

ternational sources

mentioned above.

Please note that the

consultants must be

registered with

Saskatchewan Ministry

of Economy.

As farmers realize they

are becoming managers

of people they may like

to upgrade their human

resource skills. The

Ministry of Agriculture

offers funding for

human resource man-

agement under the pro-

gram called Farm

Business Development

Initiative of Growing

Forward 2.

4-H Report

We had a great

turn out and

support for

our annual Beef on a

Bun Supper and silent

auction on April 4th at

the Delisle Composite

school. A thank you for

all our sponsors will be

in the next issue of the

RM Review.

Our club activity this

month is swimming

and pizza on May 7th.

The members are look-

ing forward to this.

Our achievement day is

Sunday June 22nd. De-

tails to follow.

Results of our 4-H

speeches will also be in

our next report.

Laura Multiple 4-H Club

On March 8 & 9, 2014

the City of Yorkton

held its annual Park-

land Outdoors Show & Expo.

It was well attended with

over 100 exhibits and a ban-

quet for 300 people on Satur-

day evening. That evening

proved to be a surprise and

well deserved honour for on

of our own local boys.

I spoke with the head organ-

izer of the event, Darren

Wandy, and he explained

that 2014 is the first year for

the award for the Canadian

Outdoors Hall of Fame,

which can include a ide

range of individual contribu-

tions, always promoting the

outdoors.

Bentley Coben of Delisle re-

ceived the award in this in-

augural year. In the words of

Darren Wandy, “Bentley cre-

ated some of the earliest pro-

duction of wildlife videos,

with such interest and

artistry, that he has become

a living legend”.

Bentley was presented the

award by Cody Robbins. The

following is an excerpt from

Cody’s speech... “From a boy

growing up in Delisle, his

passion for the outdoors has

been over the top ever since

day one. Whether running

the trap lines with his Uncle

Jacky, or pushing bush with

his brothers, or on a fine

goose hunt with his father,

he has always wore a smile a

mile wide. Bentley has taken

hardcore shed hunting to a

whole new level. He has

amassed the greatest single

shed antler collection on the

planet today. His love for

hunting, wildlife and the

great outdoors runs deeper

than deep. Along with his

loving wife Diane, this man

has devoted much of his life

to giving his children, Blake

and Jason, and other young

hunters, the opportunity to

experience the great out-

doors. In the heart of hunt-

ing season, when the focused

trophy hunter is dialed in on

his prize, this selfless gentle-

man has a truckload of hunt-

ing rookies along by his side

as he outs heart and soul

into helping make their

dreams come true.

Bently Coben was one of the

first to produce real life

hunting videos and has en-

tertained us with his colorful

stories on film. He has al-

ways pro-

moted the

attitude of

positive

thinking and

helping oth-

ers that don’t

have the

same opportu-

nities”.

Penny Hill

Over 90 ladies participated

in a lovely afternoon of

tea and activities at the

Vanscoy Hall on May 27th. De-

spite the rain, the hall was filled

with colour and flowers for all to

enjoy. The young ladies enjoyed

dressing up and decorating tea

hats, while the older ladies had

a great time relaxing and visit-

ing with neighbours. With many

different activities, games, food,

snacks, and tea there was some-

thing for everyone to enjoy and

everyone went home with a fun

flower pen.

We were very happy Kimber-

ley Mechor was able to attend

with her Steeped Tea display

and served all the ladies won-

derful Irish Breakfast Tea. Mar-

tins Produce supplied us with all

the vegetables that we served

and all the delicious desserts

were donated by Wendy, Ty,

Kimberly and myself. Both the

Vanscoy Community Recreation

Board and Neimar’s Natural

Market Garden supplied us with

raffle baskets that were filled

with lots of garden themed

prizes.

With the support of many busi-

nesses including: Ace of Carts,

Imagine That Media, Mooney

Agencies, The Berry Barn, Flo-

ral Acres Greenhouses, Bark

Place Pet Spa, Sultry Skincare,

Brandi Orth – Epicure, Lorraine

We would like to thank a few

people for all of their help: Alan,

Chantelle, Nyah, Debbie, Kyla,

Rebecca, Trista, Danielle,

Quinn, Grace, Samantha, Ash-

ton, Jean, Frances, Ty, and

Wendy. If I have missed anyone

I do apologize. We will be look-

ing for more help next year so if

you are interested please let us

know.

Bentley Coben Receives2014 Canadian Outdoors

Hall of Fame Award

As the Parliamentary Secretary to the Min-

ister of Natural Resources, I have the

pleasure of serving on the House of Com-

mons’ Standing Committee for Natural Re-

sources.

Over the past number of weeks this Committee

has been studying the benefits to Canada as a

whole in developing our oil and gas resources.

This has been an interesting and eye-opening

study for all committee members.

When most people hear about the development of

oil and gas, such as the oil sands in Alberta or

Newfoundland’s offshore oil, we often equate the

economic benefits only to those regions where the

resource is located.

However, the Natural Resources Committee has

heard from many witnesses on how the benefits

are seen in every region of the country.

For example, the Canadian Steel Producers Asso-

ciation told us how iron ore is mined in Mont-

Wright and Havre Ste. Piere Quebec, is then

processed at facilities located in Sorel-Tracy Que-

bec and Hamilton Ontario, then made into pipes

in factories in Sault Ste Marie Ontario, Regina

Saskatchewan and Calgary Alberta which is then

sent to the oil patch.

This is just one of the many examples we heard.

You can listen to testimony (or read the meeting

transcripts) which the Committee heard during

the course of this study by visiting the Parliament

of Canada website.

Thousands of high-paying, skilled jobs all across

Canada rely on the oil and gas industry. This is

why our Conservative Government is committed

to the responsible development of this industry.

Saskatchewan is a growing

province with a growing need

for maternal and children’s

health services. It is important that

we not only design and build a Chil-

dren’s Hospital, but also that we de-

liver a facility that is going to meet

our needs now and into the future.

With a growing population, we have

reaffirmed our commitment to the

Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan

with a further investment of $20

million and approval of expansion

plans to add 24 inpatient beds. Addi-

tional funding will add nine inpa-

tient maternal rooms and 15

inpatient rooms to children’s serv-

ices, for a total of 176 private inpa-

tient beds.

Our government has heard directly

from staff and physicians that in-

creasing the number of inpatient

beds will ensure we’re meeting the

needs of families. This expansion

plan will increase the overall size of

the new hospital by 11 per cent (ap-

proximately 38,000 square feet) and

bring the province’s total investment

in the project to $235.5 million.

The Children’s Hospital of

Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, an ex-

ample of our government’s commit-

ment to putting patients first, is now

targeted to open in 2017.

Our government is deeply concerned

with the U.S. State Department’s

announcement that it will delay its

final decision on the proposed Tran-

sCanada Keystone XL Pipeline.

Facts support its construction and

these politically motivated decisions

are hurting our economy.

A portion of the 2,700 kilometre

project would run through our

province, providing jobs and freeing-

up pipeline capacity so that more

Saskatchewan oil can enter the

North American pipeline system.

Considering that a large number of

rail cars have been diverted to ship

oil, this latest delay doesn’t help the

transportation challenges our pro-

ducers are currently facing.

Saskatchewan grain, potash, and

other commodities suffer every day

the Keystone XL Pipeline is not

being built. This wavering on the

part of the U.S. Administration is

also hurting our ability to develop

new markets and support North

America energy sustainability.

This particular pipeline has been

studied long and hard with the facts

supporting its construction. This

delay represents a major blow to the

energy industry in Saskatchewan

and in Canada and will place unnec-

essary strain on relations with our

largest trading partner.

Saskatchewan continues to experi-

ence a strong demand for skilled and

educated workers, according to the

latest listings at SaskJobs.ca.

Nearly half of the 15,644 available

positions that were featured in

March required higher-skilled work-

ers. Demand was particularly strong

for candidates with a post-secondary

certificate, diploma or apprentice-

ship training.

The Saskatchewan Plan for Growth

outlines our government’s focus on

education, training and developing a

skilled workforce. We continue to

work with educational institutions

and employers to address existing

barriers by creating new training

seats, including another 300 new ap-

prenticeship seats and 700 new

spots added to the Adult Basic Edu-

cation program.

Upon graduation, students have

many opportunities to move from

learning to earning in

Saskatchewan’s strong and diverse

labour market. To make that con-

nection, our government is investing

in post-secondary education to en-

sure it is both accessible and afford-

able.

We’re expanding training seats,

making capital investments at our

universities and regional colleges

and investing in tax credits like the

Graduate Retention Program, the

Saskatchewan Advantage Scholar-

ship and the Saskatchewan Advan-

tage Grant for Education Savings.

Since 2008, there has been a 40 per

cent increase in the number of First

Nations and Métis people in

Saskatchewan who have a univer-

sity degree and an overall 18 per

cent increase in the number of

Saskatchewan workers with a post-

secondary certificate, diploma or de-

gree.

A new poll by Insightrix Research

suggests that if a provincial election

were held today, over 63 per cent of

decided voters would support the

Saskatchewan Party. This result is

humbling, as is the opportunity to

serve in government, a responsibil-

ity we never take for granted. Of

course, we know the only poll that

really matters is Election Day and

we intend to continue working hard

to earn the support of voters while

keeping Saskatchewan on the path

of steady growth.

A holiday you will always remember !

14 May 2014 www.rmreview.net RM Review

In a small town there are only so many places that you can possibly host

an event. Some options might include the local churches, schools, hall,

lodge room, seniors’ centre, and curling or skating rink. The choice will

be narrowed down further based on availability, cost to rent, amount of floor

space and the availability of features such as tables, chairs, sound system or

a kitchen. But did you ever consider that some people may not attend your

event if it’s hosted in a certain location?

There seems to be the perception that if an event is hosted at the seniors’

centre that it’s geared towards seniors. Or that an event at the Church is

only for people of that congregation. Or that events at the local schools are

only for families with children who attend those schools. Or that the rink is

only for curlers and skaters. Not true!

I’m not sure what the reason is behind it... perhaps people feel intimidated,

or uncomfortable going to an unfamiliar space. Maybe it’s that we need to

help newcomers feel more welcome in these spaces rather than assume that

everyone knows their way around these facilities. Or is it simply in the way

that we advertise to promote community events? – we need to be clear that

all members of the community are encouraged to attend!

We are lucky to have these shared public spaces available to us in our com-

munities. The United Church in Delisle is the perfect venue for the Friday

night Concert Series with its sound system, tall ceilings, adequate seating

capacity, and space for socializing after the concert. The community choir

has also decided to use this space – meeting on the second Thursday of each

month at 7:00 pm. The school is the perfect location for art, dance and gym-

nastic classes, local business expos, and fundraisers such as the Laura 4-H

Club Silent Auction and Vanscoy Elementary School Family Bingo Night

(both happened earlier in April) or the upcoming Delisle Elementary School

Fun Night on June 5th. In the off-season, the rink is a great space for craft

sales, summer youth camps, and large wedding receptions. If you are need-

ing space to host a meeting, don’t forget about the lodge room, the Seniors’

Activity Centre or a church.

Making use of these multi-purpose spaces helps to cover their operating

costs and will ensure that they are maintained and available to our commu-

nities for many years to come.

The buildings in our small towns are amazing spaces. They are a meeting

place to bring the community together - helping us to feel connected.

Step out of your comfort zone if necessary and be sure to attend the

next local event in your community - no matter where it is!
