Kolbjorn Friggstadpassed quietly away inSaskatoon with hisfamily at his side.His 2 year long battlewith brain cancer hasfinally ended.His funeral was held inOutlook on SaturdayMay 26.Many of you have beenfollowing the journey ofKol and his familysince he was first diag-nosed back in 2010.There have been manyarticles written in localpapers and his familyhad kept a journal on ablog, chronicling thejourney.An outpouring of sup-port from the commu-

nity helped ease theburden on the Frig-gstad family and al-lowed Kol to realizesome of his boyhooddreams.

Many people who cameforward with donationswhen they learned ofthe young boys strug-gle, had never me Kolor his family.

His hometown newspa-per called him “the boywho lifted a town”, buteven far from his home-town, people weretouched by his story

and have shown thathe in fact had lifted amuch larger commu-nity.It is said that ‘it takesa village to raise achild’ which has beensadly proven as awhole community nowmourns when one hasbeen lost.The Friggstad family isvery grateful for thesupport they have re-ceived from this com-munity, from peoplethey have not, and maylikely never meet, butwith whom they haveshared the commonbond of being touchedby the all to short lifeof a very special boy.

EditorialWith the arrival of June we will soon welcome the first day of summer.As well, we will once again find Father’s Day upon us.Time to go into my closet and cull out the least or never used of my many neck ties to makeroom for the inevitable replacements soon to come from my son... actually I jest.Ask anyone that knows me, they likely cannot say that they have ever seen me wearing atie, and I guess they probably never will.So when my son needed to begin a lifetime of gifting his old dad on Father’s Day, my wifeguided him into the world of novelty boxer shorts. This time if you ask anyone that knowsme will likely be able to say that indeed they HAVE seen me wearing a pair on occasion.I now have many humorous or rude or just plain weird pairs of these often graphic under-garments, but unlike the ties, they do need to be replaced quite often. I am lucky that theyare also a go-to gift for birthdays and Christmas as well.I do indeed look forward to Father’s Day each year. Not for the gifts (or the endless praiseand pampering I receive that day... NOT), but instead, for the feeling of pride I somehowfeel because I am a father. Which got me to thinking about what being a father really is.

The word Father is used many ways to describe many people.... Father’s of Confed-eration, Founding Father’s, even leaders in a church are refered to as Father. There aremany other examples that all carry a similar meaning. Why are they called fathers? They have sacrificed their time to build nations, or say a home, for thier people. They havestructured laws and societies to protect us. They have selflessly shown leadership fromwhich we have all learnt and followed in our lives for generations. Yes, these fathers arethe provider, protector and leader that I strive to be for my family.

There are some families that have no biological father for various reasons.Divorce, death, single mothers, two mothers... but that doesn’t mean there can be no fatherinfluence for these children. Teachers, coaches, firefighters.... all these people can provideprotection and leadership not only to children but to all of us. Though we may not refer tothem as fathers, that is the role they play. Those that give of themselves to run our local governments, to provide our community withroads and water and protect us from possible disasters are indeed acting as fathers to all ofus.

So this Father’s Day, if you are blessed, as I am, to receive a gift from your ownchild who sees you in this way, humbly accept the thanks dad, I love you dad and the paton the back and the hand made card.Then next time you get the chance to thank or pat on the back one of the many ‘fathers’you have in your community.... I suggest you take it, because, like me, it’s all they do it for.

Happy Father’s Day to all of you out there.

Our EMO inVanscoy wouldlike to thank

the eight residents ofVanscoy who attendedan open meeting in theCircle Hall on MondayMay 7th; (5 of whichwere council and staff).The Provincial Officefrom Protection Serv-ices put on a presenta-tion that showed allwho attended, the dis-asters that have be-fallen differentcommunities in ourprovince during thepast few years. Therehave been many and tothose who say it won’thappen here, I say, Ihope not, but after thatpresentation I am con-cerned that we mayhave to react to a simi-lar situation one dayhere in Vanscoy.Many of you work outof our community andhave loved ones thatattend school inVanscoy or have rela-tives that live in townand are retired. Wehave an emergencyplan that was put to-gether by our VillageAdministrator; thatwill bring into effect aplan which will deal

with a natural or man-made disaster. Thiscould be anything froma chemical spill on therailroad or highway, toa tornado.We are somewhat pre-pared to deal withthese disasters but onlyone piece of the plan re-mains. You the resi-dents need to be a partof the plan and only asmall handful showedup to get involved insaving the lives of ourchildren, relatives orourselves in the eventof a major disaster hap-pening in our commu-nity.We cannot have a suc-cessful evacuation ofour village if we do notknow who lives in eachhome and where theymight be if we need toaccount for them in theevent of an emergency.We need to know if youhave pets that needsaving.We need to know whereyou can be reached ifwe require you to be re-united with loved oneswhen your village is inlock down and youcan’t gain access toyour home.We need your assis-

tance to make sure youare part of any plan tosave your lives and pro-tect your property.The legislation whichhas made this planningmandatory has re-placed The War Meas-ures Act and has theauthority to take con-trol of all assets in theevent of a declaredemergency.We need your assis-tance to do that andhave you onside whentough decisions have tobe made on your be-half. This is not a situ-ation where eightresidents should makea call on your behalf,but, rather a situationwhere we can all worktogether by providingany and all assistancethat will be required tohelp whichever situa-tion has to be dealtwith.We need people on eachblock that can be blockcaptains, who will beresponsible to get infor-mation to neighborsand who will work withthe EMO OperationsCenter in the event ofan Emergency.We need to know whatassets you can help

with in the event of adisaster.We need to know whereyour family is so we donot leave someone be-hind in the event of anevacuation because ofsome deadly chemicalthat may lurk in ourmidst.You say it won’t hap-pen here! Well to thosewho attended I applaudyour interest, and tothose who didn’t, doyou know what to do inthe event of an emer-gency declared in theVillage of Vanscoy ?

The next public meet-ing of the EMO will beheld at the request ofthe village residents.It is time for you theresidents to get in-volved as I ,the EMOcoordinator, cannotmake people attend apublic forum to helpthem in the event ofcatastrophic disasterbefalling on our village.

Who will work them?In April 2012 it wasannounced by the cur-rent government thattheir intention thisyear is to create 500child care spaces inSaskatchewan. Ini-tially the prospect of500 more spaces seemspractical and over-due,however the questionthat rings true for mostdaycare directors issomething like this:Where will I be able tofind any qualified staff?Opening more spaces isgreat for the parentswho need to go toschool or work to pro-vide for their families,but are we doing themany favors by openingfacilities with very fewstaff with the properqualifications?As Early Childhood Ed-ucation Directors, weagree that childcarespaces are required.Many of us have exten-sive waiting lists with100’s of families wait-

ing upwards of twoyears for a child carespace. It is also thehard truth that theECE profession has ashortage of skilled andtrained workers, chron-ically underpaid work-ers, and staff retentionissues.In order to successfullyopen the 500 spaces(based on a 2.5-5yr agegroup) centres wouldneed to find adequatespace, equipment andstaff all which are leg-islated by the ChildCare Act and ChildCare Regulations. Di-rectors would be look-ing to hire 50+workers. It is evidentby looking at the pastnumber of ECE gradu-ates (approximately101 ECE Certificatesand 58 Diploma) fromthe 2010-11 graduationyear in Saskatchewan.In Saskatoon this yearthere will be a whop-ping 10 ECE Diplomagraduates from SIAST.

Of these graduates wewould be curious toknow how many enterthe child care field andhow many pursue otheravenues. So, though itmay appear that thereare enough “qualified”people to hire, youcould ask any Directortheir opinion!Saskatchewan Ministryof Education – EarlyYears Branch has abasic minimum sur-rounding child to staffratios and percentageof educated staff re-quired in each centre.Each centre strives to-wards best practiceswhich are to hire pro-fessionals that areLevel 3’s as set out byECE qualifications.Staff retention is chal-lenging due to poorwages and high de-mands to provide qual-ity care, this entailscatering to the individ-ual needs of each fam-ily. The definition ofquality childcare usu-

ally sounds like this “…high quality child caresystem provides allchildren with excellentlearning opportunitiesto optimize their physi-cal, cognitive, cultural,social, & emotional de-velopment...” citedfrom ccaa.ca childcareadvocacy association ofCanada fact sheet Oct.2004So we beg to ask youwhen the average ECEmakes $12.00 to $14.00per hour plus needs topay back student loansand has ever increasingcosts of living, howdoes a centre attractstaff? A person, who isnot required to haveany post-secondary ed-ucation, could work inretail or at a fast foodrestaurant and makethe same salary.High stress, lowwages!!!

A bit of wind andsome dry grass can quickly get out of con-trol.Some green ash boulevard trees havebeen planted around Town, and along theperimeter of the newest part of theAsquith Cemetery. The Asquith Co-oper-ative Association paid for ten of the treesat the cemetery and assisted with theplanting of all of the trees there. What afantastic, community-minded group!Councillor Sawicki attended the semi-an-nual meeting of the Wheatland RegionalLibrary.

Teddy Bears

On April 27th, agroup of 10 youthand 6 adults from

Delisle and VanscoyUnited Churches met atthe Build-a-Bear Work-shop in Midtown Mall inSaskatoon. Their mission– to build teddy bears forthe Delisle fire depart-ment to give to child vic-tims of trauma. The firefighters keep acollection of cuddly friendson hand, so that whenthey respond to a callwhere children are in-

volved, they can offersome tangible comfort inthe form of a stuffed ani-mal. Recently, the fire de-partment announced thatits supply of teddy bearswas getting low. The United Church youthgroup responded to thiscall by making 16 bears –all stuffed with love –which they donated to thefire department on May6th. Each bear has withinit a little red heart, placedthere by hand by the per-son who made the bear.

As the youth put thehearts inside the bears,they each named onething they thought a childin a traumatic situationmight need – such asstrength, comfort, com-munity, prayers, love,hope, peace... That's whatis inside each of thosebears.The youth group also gavea special bear to the mem-bers of the fire depart-ment, thanking them forall they do to keep ourcommunities safe.

Our 2011-2012 schoolyear is winding down –can you believe it? Withthe hum of activities andexcitement, our final daystogether are flying byeven faster! In the lastchapters of our schoolyear we have experiencedwatching eggs hatch intochicks and currently, weare marveling at how lar-vae transforms into but-terflies. Thanks to theUniversity ofSaskatchewan EcologyCamp we got to hold andcame to appreciate theimportance of bats to ourenvironment. Moreoverwe had the opportunity tobuild bat houses to helpour bat friends continuetheir important job of get-ting rid of pesky mosqui-toes. Learning throughnature also continues asour garden has beenplanted, our playgroundhas been cleaned androcks, bugs and baby ani-mals are being studied. Rain or shine, the stu-dents and staff at PikeLake School are startingto explore instruction inthe great outdoors! Out-door classroom instructionpresents a variety ofunique challenges to over-come such as the wind,rain, sun, cold and variouscreatures (big and small)to name a few. Howeverthe students are benefit-ing from the many handson activities , authenticpractices and uniqueproblem solving opportu-nities which can arisefrom the outdoor learning

environment. Utilizingnature to teach the cur-riculum allows for memo-rable discovery andretention of valuable life-time knowledge for ourstudents. We are so fortu-nate to be able to studyand learn from the won-derful environment rightin our own backyard! Weinvite you to come downand keep watch of howour garden grows andhow our outdoor learningenvironment is beingadapted in order to betterfacilitate our young peo-ple’s learning.As the school year comesto close, we at Pike LakeSchool are not only thank-ful for the wonderfullearning opportunitiesand environment whichwe enjoy but also for thewonderful communitythat is so supportive ofour school. Our gratitudegoes out especially to thePike Lake Community &School Assoc. (PLCSA)who has supported theschool in so many waysagain this year. Throughthe use of the hall, provid-ing treat bags and goodeats at special events,and for setting up won-derful soccer nets for stu-dent to play soccer atrecess to mention only afew. The work that thePLCSA does to the sup-port the community andour school truly helps ourcommunity to be a won-derful one in which to live,to learn, and to grow. Looking ahead to nextyear the Pike Lake SCC is

The expansionand renovationof Martensville

High School has beengiven the green lightto move into the de-tailed design stage.This Ministry of Ed-ucation approval wascrucial to move theproject forward fromconcept to design andconstruction. PrairieSpirit School Divi-sion received officialconfirmation aboutthe project from theMinistry on May 11.The conceptual de-sign phase will in-volve school andcommunity consulta-tion sessions whichwill lead to the de-tailed architecturaldesign. The project isscheduled to be com-pleted by 2016.The expansion to thehigh school is ex-pected to more thandouble the size of thecurrent high schoolfacility, adding ap-proximately 50,000square feet to thebuilding. The Min-istry has projected a

cost of $26.3 millionfor the constructionand renovation proj-ect.Because the expan-sion of the highschool will providemore classroomspaces, studentsfrom the two elemen-tary schools inMartensville willmove to the highschool facility. Thisreconfiguration ofgrades will benefitthe elementaryschools inMartensville that areexperiencing tremen-dous enrolmentgrowth and over-crowding. The de-tails of this gradereconfiguration havenot yet been finalizedbut could includemoving Grade 7 and8 students from theelementary schoolsto the expanded highschool.The elementaryschools inMartensville havehad numerous relo-catables added to ac-commodate growing

enrolments. Both ele-mentary schools hadrelocatables addedduring the 2011/12school year. “The ex-panded high schoolwill provide a muchneeded long-term so-lution to ensure thenecessary learningspaces for our stu-dents and we are ex-cited about it,” saidLarry Pavloff, BoardChair. “We just wishthe project could becompleted muchsooner for the sake ofstudents and staff.”The growth in theelementary schoolsin Martensville re-flects the growth inthe City itself. Ac-cording to the recentfederal census,Martensville is thesecond fastest grow-ing city in the coun-try, with apopulation of over7700. Prairie Spiritanticipates an in-crease of 5% in stu-dent enrolment inMartensville eachyear.The expanded school

will be designed toaccommodate be-tween 750 - 800 stu-dents. The twoelementary schoolscurrently have atotal of over 1100students from Pre-Kindergartenthrough Grade 8.The high school’scurrent enrolment isover 340.“As a Board, we arethrilled to receiveMinistry approval toproceed with thisproject,” said BonnieHope, Trustee forMartensville. “Thisexpanded high schoolfacility will be an ex-citing addition to theCity of Martensville.”The high school proj-ect was given thehighest priority inthe Ministry of Edu-cation’s CriticalSpace Shortage cate-gory in July, 2011.The Board of Educa-tion has also for-mally applied to theMinistry for anotherelementary school inMartensville.

Ministry approvesMartensville project

Although consid-erable progresshas been made

in the construction atStobart School in DuckLake, the second phaseof the project will notbe completed by thestart of the new schoolyear in August, 2011.Despite the delay, stu-dents inDuck Lakewill con-tinue tohave unin-terruptedaccess toall educa-tional pro-gramming.

“Our goalis to moveinto thesecondphase ofthe projectonce construction iscomplete,” explainedJim Shields, Superin-tendent of Finance andAdministration withPrairie Spirit SchoolDivision. “We havemade significant gainsin construction inPhase Two. Withouthavingto workaroundstu-dents,con-struc-tionworkcan con-tinueunhin-dered.”

“Weknowwhen the school is com-pletely done it will beincredible,” said RegNicolas, Principal of

Stobart CommunitySchool. “However, wedon’t want to move inuntil the facility is100% completed. It’sjust not conducive foreducation to have kidsin an unfinished areaunder construction,” heexplained. High schoolstudents will continue

to use the old elemen-tary school until theconstruction of the newschool is complete.Students in Pre-Kindergarten throughGrade 6 moved into thenew elementary wingin February.

The $18.9 million proj-ect in Duck Lake in-volves the substantialexpansion and renova-tion of the existing highschool to include Pre-Kthrough Grade 12 stu-dents. The Home Eco-nomics and IndustrialArts classrooms in thehigh school, built in the1980s, were preserved,along with the recentlyrenovated gymnasium.The rest of the highschool was demolished.Once construction ofthe new school is com-plete, Stobart Elemen-tary School will also bedemolished. The projectstarted in the fall of2009.

Nicolas praised theDuck Lake studentsand staff for their pa-tience through the con-struction project. “Our

students and staff havebeen very accommodat-ing and incredibly pa-tient through all theconstruction,” he said.

Nicolas pointed outthat the elementarystudents have alengthy walk from thenew school to their

play-groundbehindthe oldelemen-taryschool.The sen-ior stu-dentshave alongwalkfromtheirtempo-rary

classes in the old ele-mentary school over tothe Home Economicsand Industrial Artsrooms in the highschool building. Nicolasalso added that thecaretakers at bothschools have had con-siderable additional

work withthe effectsof construc-tion, espe-cially mudtracked infrom theconstruc-tion areas.“The care-takers de-serve amedal!” hesaid.

The adulteducation area, LittleDucklings Day Care,Home Economics andIndustrial Arts areaswill be entirely com-pleted by late August.The new school in-cludes a group of officesfor the nurse practi-tioner, public healthnurse, addictions coun-sellor and other serv-ices provided by theSaskatoon Health Re-gion. The school willalso house the WapitiRegional Library andthe Northwest Re-gional College, whichprovides adult educa-tion programming. Theschool will also offer anexpanded Practical andApplied Arts program,including commercialcooking and other prac-tical job skills.

Aslight soundtook my atten-tion from the

slide I was examiningon my microscope andcaused me to look up.The source of the soundwas a two thousandpound, sweated up,stressed out, irate bullthat stood two feetaway on the other sideof my desk glaring atme. I nervously lookedaround for an escaperoute in the tiny ten byten room and wonderedwhat on earth did I getinto this time?The bull in questionwas being sent to theUSA to convey somegood Saskatchewan ge-netics into a herd downthere. He was long anddeep and two years old.His sour dispositionmade him more suitedfor the Mid-Westernranching country thanon this particular pure-bred operation. Gener-ally the bulls on thisfarm can be driven onfoot up to the barn andcajoled by hand intothe squeeze. This bullhad been born else-where and was quite abit more nervous as hewas cautiouslybrought, head high,into the barn. The longbarn had overheaddoors at both ends. Thebull squeeze was at oneend next to an equip-ment room and the of-fice where I had set upmy microscope and pa-perwork. The bullswould generally leavethe chute and then, as

the overhead door infront of them wasclosed, would turn andproceed back out thedoor they had come in.We finally got the USbound bull into thesqueeze and startedprocessing him. Wepoked and proddedhim, branding, tagging,bleeding and drawingsamples while hestomped, snorted, andglared at us from thesafe confines of thesqueeze. Finally we fin-ished with him and Iwalked back to thesmall room beside thechute and plunked my-self into a chair behindthe desk to start exam-ining his samples. Theboys were out frontopening the gates andreadying the barn forthe worked-up bull’sdeparture and the lastthing I remember wasthe call to “Let him

out!” The tiny room I was inhad one door into itand one small sealedwindow. It was emptyexcept for a few boxeslying around the desk Ioccupied. The bull tow-ered above my deskand looked straight atme as I slowly stood upand pondered my op-tions. The door wasopen behind him, butin order to reach it, Iwould have to racedown the side of thebull without him spin-ning and blocking myexit. As the low proba-bility of success for thisidea of escape bouncedaround in my head, thebull swung his butt aquarter turn to lookout the window andlike a housewife closingthe fridge with her hipslammed the door andmy only exit shut.Now the fetal position

started sounding goodand as I shrunk mybody as small and un-obtrusive as possiblebehind the desk andavoided eye contact. Istarted to weigh theodds of not gettingtrampled if this bull,now locked in a ten byten room, decided tostart wrecking things.Just before I was goingto start to cry, thebull’s owner, with goodsense, pushed the dooropen with his showcane. The door swunginward, just brushingthe bull’s rear-end andcaused him to look overhis shoulder. Seeingthe open door, he spun,hip checking the deskas he went, and walkedout leaving me shakingin a puddle of pee (Itold the farmer the bullhad peed in the roomand I think he believedme).

Two students fromPrairie SpiritSchool Division re-

cently had a chance toparticipate in an incredi-ble adventure. In March,Kelsey Derksen (BordenSchool) and Brad Milton(Delisle Composite) werepart of a five-day trip on atall ship off Vancouver Is-land. Approximately 30 peopletravelled together on thetall ship, including deafand hard of hearing stu-dents (aged 13 to 18) fromaround Saskatchewan,their interpreters andseven ship crew members.The trip was facilitatedthrough theSaskatchewan Deaf andHard of Hearing Services

(SDHHS) organization.Brad, 13 years old and ingrade 8, is a cadet withexperience in sailingsmall sailboats. He wasthe youngest student onthe trip and pointed outthat he was the first toclimb to the top of thesails of the tall ship!

Kelsey is 17 years old andin Grade 11. She enjoysboating on the lake in thesummertime. They areboth hard of hearing butdo not use sign languageas their main means ofcommunication.Kelsey and Brad heardabout this opportunitythrough SDHHS at the

end of January, when thedeadline for applicationswas imminent. They both

jumped at the chance to

be part of the trip andsent in their applications.This opportunity was of-

fered at the incredible costof $60. The rest of thefunding for the trip wasprovided through theSDHHS.The students and crewspent five straight days onthe tall ship. Brad de-scribed the sleeping quar-ters, noting that his

sleeping bunk left himabout a foot and half ofspace from the ceiling.The students sailed on thePacific Grace, one of threetall ships owned by Sailand Life Training Society(S.A.L.T.S.). Brad re-ported that the PacificGrace weighs 800 tonnes,with an 800 pound an-

chor. Each student was re-quired to drive the boat

and learned to drive it by

compass, landmark anddirection. Students wereexpected to be active par-

ticipants in the workon the ship,which was chal-lenging and, attimes, risky.Brad said thestudents were tobe clipped on ina harness at alltimes on theboat.Brad and Kelseyagreed it wasgood to get mem-bers of the deafand hard ofhearing commu-nity together.“It was hard to

communicate,” Bradsaid. “We had interpreterson the ship to helpout. I learned somesign language. Thatwas cool! It was awe-some to be aroundother deaf kids. Theycan do what normalkids can do, too.” “Most of the time, weforgot that peoplewere deaf. We wouldwork together andthen realize that wedid it without talk-ing,” Brad explained.Brad and Kelseynoted that the crewand students reallyhad to pay attention.“It was spectacularhow we could get themessage across tothat many deaf peo-ple,” Brad said.Brad and Kelseytalked about seeingvarious animals likeorcas, otters, por-poises and seals dur-ing their time on theocean.“I’m glad I went onthis trip,” Kelseyadded. She acknowl-edged that her par-ents were a littleworried about her asthis was her first timeflying and this was abig trip to take on her

own.Brad and Kelsey said thebest part of the trip wasdriving the ship, learningsign language and mak-ing new friends. Since nei-ther uses sign languageas their primary mode ofcommunication, they en-joyed the chance to learna new skill in signing.The students said theywould certainly recom-mend this type of opportu-nity to other students. Aspart of their participationin the trip, they will bothmake presentations totheir schools about theiradventure.

Lana Abercrombie, theDeaf and Hard of HearingSpecial Education Re-source Teacher for PrairieSpirit School Division,works with studentsthroughout the Division.She was very pleased tohave two Prairie Spiritstudents participate inthis opportunity. “Whatan experience!” she en-thused. “What an oppor-tunity for these studentsto have exposure to otherstudents and leadershipopportunities.”

Abercrombie said she ap-preciates the resourcesavailable to studentsthrough the SDHHS or-ganization.

Housing Inc. celebratedtheir groundbreakinglate last week. The newhousing complex willconsist of 34 units (32townhouse units andtwo accessible units).The homes will be tar-geted to low-incomefamilies and familiesnew to Canada.Kelly Block, Member ofParliament for Saska-toon-Rosetown-Biggar,on behalf of the Hon-ourable Diane Finley,Minister of Human Re-sources and Skills De-velopment andMinister Responsiblefor Canada Mortgageand Housing Corpora-tion (CMHC) alongwith JenniferCampeau, Member ofthe Legislative Assem-bly for Saskatoon-Fairview, on behalf ofthe Honourable JuneDraude, Minister of So-cial Services and Min-ister responsible forSaskatchewan HousingCorporation, madethe announcement."Our Government be-lieves that all Cana-dians need a stable,safe and affordableplace to call home,"said MP Block. "Weare committed tohelping deliver af-fordable housing so-lutions inpartnership with theprovinces and territo-

ries, along with oppor-tunities for economicgrowth."Saskatchewan HousingCorporation is provid-ing $2.5 million fromthe federal and provin-cial Investment in Af-fordable Housing2011-2014 Agreementtowards this project.Since November 2007,862 affordable rentalunits have been com-pleted in Saskatoon.An additional 167rental units are cur-rently under construc-tion, including theWestgate Heights proj-

ect. The development isbeing undertaken byWestgate Heights At-tainable Housing Inc.,a non-profit organiza-tion closely affiliatedwith Westgate AllianceChurch, a faith-basedorganization in Saska-toon.This funding comes asa result of the recentlyannounced $55 millionInvestment in Afford-able Housing 2011-2014 Agreementbetween the Govern-ments of Canada and

Saskatchewan. Underthe agreement, theProvince ofSaskatchewan will usethe funds to create newand renovate existingaffordable housing forhouseholds in need.The Government ofCanada, throughCMHC, will investmore than $2 billion inhousing this year. Ofthis amount, $1.7 bil-lion will be spent insupport of almost605,000 households liv-ing in existing socialhousing. InSaskatchewan, thisrepresents some 29,900households. These in-vestments are improv-ing the quality of lifefor low-income Canadi-ans and households liv-ing in existing socialhousing, including indi-viduals who are home-less or at-risk ofhomelessness, seniors,persons with disabili-ties, recent immigrantsand Aboriginal people.

Our government con-tinues to makeprogress toward keep-ing an important prom-ise we made that hasimplications for thehealth and safety foryour family. The YearTwo progress reportfrom the SaskatchewanSurgical Initiative(SkSI) shows we are ontrack to meet our com-mitment to provide allpatients with the op-portunity to have sur-gery within threemonth by 2014. We de-cided early in our firstterm to make yourhealthcare a priorityand that hasn'tchanged.The SkSI Two Yearprogress report showsthat 97 per cent of sur-geries in Saskatchewanwere completed within12 months. Since theSaskatchewan Partytook office in 2007, thenumber of patientswaiting more than 18months for surgery hasdropped by an impres-sive 91 per cent. Thesereductions mean realresults forSaskatchewan peoplethat were waiting fartoo long under the NDPto receive the surgerythey needed.We have come a longway in the last fiveyears, but we knowthere is still more workto do. That is why thisyear's budget we in-vested $60.5 million to

continue to drive downsurgical wait times. Infact, this funding willprovide more than4,000 additional sur-geries this year. Ourcommitment to puttingthe patient first can befurther seen in almost$17 million more forthe Saskatchewan Can-cer Agency which willhelp pay for 30,000chemotherapy treat-ments, 39,000 mammo-grams and 6,000 newpatient referrals thisyear alone. We haveinvested $4 million toexpand the colorectalscreening cancer pro-gram province-wide,providing early detec-tion and saving lives.Today, there are 900more nurses and 200more doctors workingin Saskatchewan thanthere were five yearsago. Today inSaskatchewan, ruraland remote areas haveimproved access toemergency servicesthanks to our partner-ship with the STARSAir Ambulance, whichstarted flying theprovince's skies earlierin the spring. Thir-teen new long-termcare centres to improvethe quality of life forSaskatchewan's seniorsare moving forwardwith planning and con-struction underway.We have made going tomedical school more ac-cessible and affordablefor young men andwomen who want to be-

come doctors andnurses, through ourgraduate retention andstudent loan forgive-ness programs and in-creased trainingopportunities.The Saskatchewan Ad-vantage we talkedabout in the budget isabout more thoughthan just a balancedbottom line. It's aboutmore than growth forgrowth's sake - it has tobe if Saskatchewan isgoing to retain herplace as a "have"province in Confedera-tion. TheSaskatchewan Advan-tage is about improvingthe quality of life foreveryone. It is abouttaking action to protectthe advantage createdby your hard work - en-suring our province re-mains the best place inCanada to live, workand raise a family.To that end, PremierBrad Wall has chargedMLAs to go out thissummer and consultwith constituents andcommunity groups tofind out how you thinkwe can best meet thechallenges of growthand opportunity. Ourgoal is to, with yourhelp, make sure thehistoric economic andpopulation growthwe've enjoyed over thepast five years contin-ues.We want to find outthree things:1) What should thegovernment's long-term

goals be?2) What strategies orpolicies should the gov-ernment pursue toachieve those goals?3) What short-termmeasures can the gov-ernment take to ad-dress some of the moreimmediate challengesof growth?If you need any furtherinformation regardingthis summer's consul-tations, or would like toschedule a meetingwith me, don't hesitateto give the office a callor send us an email.Together, we will main-tain the SaskatchewanAdvantage.

RM Review 17June 2012

MLA REPORTMay 23, 2012Randy Weekes, MLA

Food for ThoughtThe Canadian Feed Re-search Centre has anew piece of equipmentin its facility at NorthBattleford. It is called aBoMill TriQ 30 NIRSeed Sorter, one of fourin the world and thefirst installation inNorth America. It wasbuilt in Sweden andprovides state of theart capacity to sortwheat, durum and bar-ley, for protein level,freedom from cracked,discoloured or diseasedkernels. The Centre isworking on removingsprouted kernels inwheat that would in-crease it’s value $100per tonne. On the otherhand a sample of feedbarley can be separated

to recover the maltinggrade fraction.

As you canimagine this equip-ment doesn’t comecheap: about $400,000,plus another $100,000to install it. It operatesat about three tonnesper hour so a large millwould probably installa bank of ten machinesto process 25,000 met-ric tonnes/year.

The operatingprinciple is actuallyvery simple but devil-ishly clever: each ker-nel is individuallyscanned many timesand as it sits in an in-dividual hole of a re-volving drum a littlepuff of air directs it toone of three outlets.The Centre is also

working on separatedrums for other classesof grain and is co-oper-ating with other labo-ratories and mills.

The CanadianFeed Research Centrewill now have the ca-pacity to remove fusar-ium and ergot, provideresearch samples ofnarrow specificationsfor protein, and providepure samples of durumfree of spring wheat, asexamples. This new fa-cility at North Battle-ford will put theCanadian feed industryat the cutting edge ofdeveloping value addedproducts from our basiccrops that need to cap-ture new markets.
