EDITORIAL

Humpty Dumpty Healthcare“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the Kings horses and all the Kings men,

Couldn’t put Humpty together again.”

The recent passing of Robin Williams shocked and saddened the world

and drew attention, once again, to how we deal with (or don’t deal

with) mental health issues. In William’s case we lost one precious life,

but in many other mental health triggered events (domestic disputes, school

shootings, etc) there are often many lives lost or scarred forever, due to the

poor mental health of one individual.

Around the western world, steadily increasing health care costs drive

huge budgets that we direct towards improving our “quality of life”.

Over the years we have created, and continue to create, solutions to many

non-mental health issues. If you eat too much bacon, we can get you a heart

bypass, or even a complete transplant. No seatbelt in a car accident? We can

rebuild and rehabilitate you back to new. Break a hip in a fall ? A new one is

waiting on the shelf for you.

Not so long ago these situations would have different outcomes, indeed we

could not put Humpty back together again. But with all the Kings Horse

and all the Kings men, PLUS a whole lot of our taxes dollars chopped off our

paycheques every month, we can now put Humpty back together.

But is this really improving our quality of life ?

Would a few hundred of your dollars back in your pocket every month im-

prove your quality of life ? Are we here for a good time or a long time?

Dont’ get me wrong, like everyone, if there is something wrong with me I

would rather have it fixed than die. And I am willing to pay. But with the

billions, if not trillions that have been spent developing western medicine,

we still die, all be it a bit later. We all dedicate a huge part of our lives to

funding healthcare budgets, but what are we directing those budgets to ?

Lets look closer at Robin Williams. He had more money to spend on

healthcare than almost any person on the planet. In fact he recently had a

successful heart bypass procedure, which I’m sure was performed by the

best, most expensive doctors in the world. Still he is dead.

Modern healthcare may have allowed him to live a bit longer but did it allow

him to live better? Apparently not so much.

Maybe we should look again at what we are pursuing with our healthcare

dollars. Living marginally longer physically, comes at a great financial ex-

pense, while for many suffering from mental illness, quality of life is not

even an option at any price. From a pure financial perspective, cleaning up

after a mental health driven, mass casualty event (police, emergency rooms,

counselling, funerals, etc) has costs associated to it even beyond bloated

healthcare budgets. For the unfortunate victims of such an event, the

healthcare system did not help them live longer. And the lucky survivors of

such trauma will always struggle with living a quality life.

Surely we could a better job of understanding the mental health issues of

humans so we can all enjoy the experience of living together before we die.

All the Kings Horses and All the Kings Men

May now be able to put Humpty together again,

....but what do we do if he keeps jumping off the wall ?

“LIVE INTERNET BIDDING”

The Vanscoy & District 31st Annual Agricul-

tural Fair was held on August 16th and

17th. It had many of the events that are in-

cluded each year, such as the ball tournament,

gymkhana, kids land, little britches rodeo, pan-

cake breakfast, quilt show and a polka mass.

Over the weekend hosted a couple hundred peo-

ple.

On display were about 300 entries of the artwork,

craftsmanship, needlework, culinary and horticul-

tural talents of the people in the community. 1st,

2nd, and 3rd placings were handed out in each of

the categories. People really enjoy seeing the dif-

ferent things that have been created out of veg-

etables, photos, flowers, and even mud

pies by the kids.

The Fair began Saturday with a Lil Britches

Rodeo and Kidsland for the youngsters as well as

a Gymkhana. and new this year was the Farmers

Amazing race, organized by Arlie LaRoche and

Melanie Chouinard. 11 teams entered with ages

ranging from 4- 85 years old. Each team was

timed while completing chores such as feeding

huge pigs, hammering nails, digging potatoes and

pushing wheel barrels. The winning team was the

Cowboy Warriors, Remington (14 yrs), Lynnaya

(14), Savannah (14), and Walkor (4). They will

have their names engraved on the trophy and

also won a cash prize. The SMPPU team, made

up of some of the ball players from the

weekend, were awarded the spirit award,

after each of the teams performed a team

cheer.

Also on Saturday was the Vanscoy

Recreation Board Slo-Pitch Tournament with 4

teams registered. Three local teams, Green Gang,

Flaming Randys, and Nads competed with Smack

My Pitch Up, a team from Saskatoon, that took

home the 1st place prize of $300. The tournament

was delayed slightly with rain in the morning but

eventually got underway around 11am. Thanks to

Rob & Lisa Michnik, a TV was available to watch

the Rider game.

Saturday wrapped up with a street dance featur-

ing a live band, Jo Mamas. The dance was organ-

ized by Glen and Shelley Lyons, who built a

complete stage for the event. Along with their

team of volunteers, they also operated a food

booth that served beef and pulled pork on a bun,

sausages, cold treats and lots more. The band

played late into the night until a downpour forced

everyone to go home.

Sunday began with a pancake breakfast and

Polka Mass, followed by the Saskatoon Agility

Club that came out to demonstrate their dogs. It

was a delight for the kids, some of whom even got

to go onto the course to race against the dogs.

Also scheduled for that day was the

light horse show that had to

change locations but still ended

up being a great event with 36

horses entered.

The Vanscoy & District Agricultural

Society would like to thank all of the

volunteers and sponsors that once

again made the summer fair a success.

any make or model of car in al-

most any condition, but the club is

mainly built around the older gen-

eration vehicles. They are also

teamed up with A & W and help

them promote the Cruisin the

Dub event each year. They run

Hop Nights through the summer

and the final two are on Septem-

ber 13th and 27th on 22nd Street

and 8th Street respectively.

The Delisle Cooperative

Playschool ran a concession at the

event for the entire day to raise

money for the playschool. As well,

local gourmet Alma treated those

that attended to her famous

spring rolls. Riff Raff played at the

street dance, treating the packed

house to an exceptionally well per-

formed night of classic rock hits.

The event was also sponsored

by the Delisle Ag Co-op, Orchard

Transport, Bentley Coben, Bear

Hills Media and the RM Review.

Organizer Kenny Traynor, from

the Delisle Hotel, says he was

blown away by the number of peo-

ple that attended both the cars

show and the street dance. “I also

want to thank the many people

who helped set-up, work and

clean-up at this event. It was a

long day for everyone”.

They will make this an annual

event in memory of the late Ron

Vetter, who owned the hotel and

hosted many car shows in Delisle.

Welcome back to the 2014-15 school year! I hope everyone enjoyed

the summer. Thank you to all who came out to our preschool meet-

ing in August. This year, we have 8 4-year olds and 4 3-year olds

registered, so there is still some room in each class if you have, or know of, a

child of preschool age. Our class times have changed a bit. They are as fol-

lows: the 4-year olds come on Tuesday mornings from 9:15-11:45 and Thurs-

day afternoons from 12:30-2:45. The 3-year olds still come on Thursday

mornings from 9:15-11:30. The first day of school for the 4-year olds is Sep-

tember 9th and for the 3-year olds, September 11th.

September will find both classes learning about class routines and socializ-

ing, as well as the number 1 and the colour yellow. The 4 year olds will also

spend some time learning to print their names, talking about family, and

starting the process of learning their phone numbers.

If you have any questions about the preschool, please contact Wendy

Schoonbaert at 306-978-8164.

Here's to another wonderful school year!

Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year!! At Pike Lake School we love

the start of a new year because the excitement and anticipation of

what is to come is so invigorating! In the coming weeks we will be-

come familiar with new routines, new staff members, new students, as well

as taking time to set plans for our new learning goals. The world of explo-

ration is upon us once again!

We are excited to welcome Ms. Diana Jemieff as our new principal for begin-

ning the 2014-2015 school year! Ms. Jemieff lives in Saskatoon and is ex-

cited to be coming to our school and our community! We are all looking

forward to have her become our team leader and newest member of our

school family!

With school starting, extracurricular activities are gearing up! Hurrah!

Routine is on the way! I don't know about your world, but it seems like I

blink and go from July long weekend to “back to school” shopping and sched-

uling of back to school extracurricular activities! This year the Pike Lake

School Community Council has helped with back to school organization by

purchasing academic agendas/planners. These planners, back by popular

demand, will undoubtedly aid in coordinating life, school, appointments, ex-

tracurricular activities. Please do mark down Thursday, September 11th,

2014 for our annual free Welcome Back to School Barbecue and Indoor Ac-

tivities Registration. The Pike Lake School Community Council will be pro-

viding free hamburgers, drink and dessert. So please come out, learn about

some upcoming activities in the community and the school, participate in

some fun child centered activities and enjoy some catch up with time with

friends and neighbors. Look for more information to come on our school sign,

posted on our school website and on poster boards in the Pike Lake Commu-

nity.

In addition to our core Pike Lake School staff and the Pike Lake School

Community Council, we are very fortunate to be able to include the wonder-

ful Pike Lake Community as an integral part of the Pike Lake School team

as well. Last year students and staff were very fortunate to welcome many

community members as guest speakers, as volunteers and as guests to our

school. Students and staff also benefitted from venturing forth on various

field trips into the beautiful surrounding area of Pike Lake. Moreover, our

school continued to feel the wonderful support of the Pike Lake Community

and School Association (PLCSA). Pike Lake School is so thankful to have

the support of this organization through the use of the hall, space in the

amazing community newsletter and also in supporting the numerous school

endeavors. We look forward to having the Pike Lake Community and the

PLCSA join us once again to share in and expand our learning this year.

Welcome back for another school year! We know that this will be an-

other successful year at DCS and are looking forward to all of the

achievements of our students. We invite all students and parents

to the School Opening Celebration and BBQ held by both DCS and DES on

Thursday, Sept. 4. Staff will be available until 6 pm for you to meet and you

are welcome to tour the school. As well, there will be a presentation on

Powerschool for Parents to help explain how you can use this program to

keep up-to-date with your child’s marks, attendance, and read comments en-

tered by teachers. It is a great communication tool and we would like to see

all of our parents using it! All you need to start is a login and password

from us and you are ready to use this program. We look forward to seeing

many of you on the 4th!

The use of Powerschool will become more important for parents this year be-

cause we will only be printing student progress reports at the end of each

semester. So, there will on be two sent home this school year, at the end of

January and the end of June. We feel that students and parents can keep

current with the use of this program and teachers can make comments di-

rectly linked to assessments in this program, enabling parents and students

to read. We are very excited about the use of Powerschool and urge all par-

ents to contact us and get your login information.

All the best!

When a person puts their

heart and soul into a

job, many people sit up

and take notice when they de-

cide to retire from that position.

Carole Merkosky worked at the

Delisle Library, a branch of

Wheatland Regional Library for

over 34 years. She started as a

volunteer and then took on the

position of librarian in the early

1980's.

Carole saw many changes

with the library system. Micro-

fiche, card catalogues, rolodex

files , hand stamped due dates,

record style videos, VHS,

records, cartridge tape

recorders, book bus, book block

exchanges, mailing of book re-

quests are now all in the past

but played a huge part of the li-

brary system.

Carole learned all the new

systems and ideas but her

biggest hurdles with the library

were the computer and two

huge moves of the whole library

from the town hall to a building

across from the Credit Union

and then from there to the

Town Office facility where the

library is today. She faced all

these changes with some trepi-

dation but carry on she did.

Carole knew her patrons well.

She would recommend books,

request books and bend over

backwards to make sure that

anyone who entered the library

went out with reading material

that they would enjoy. Carole

became a friend to all who en-

tered the library and when she

wasn't there, people would ask

about where she was and if

everything was O.K. because

that is exactly what Carole

would do. Carole would often go

to the school and playschool or

have the classes come to the li-

brary for storytime. The kids

loved having her read some of

her favorite stories and talk

about things with them.

Carole decided to retire this

year. On June 16, she was pre-

sented with gifts and cards from

the Delisle Library Board, Town

of Delisle, Delisle Elementary

School and Wheatland Regional

Library.

We miss seeing Carole at the li-

brary but whenever she saw

anyone from the library, she al-

ways asked about the program-

ming, summer reading program,

what is new on the shelves and

about all the people that were so

much a part of her library expe-

rience through the years.

Thank you, Carole for a job well

done !!

As harvest ap-

proaches in this

part of the

province, farmers will

be keeping an eye on

the weather forecast.

Time can be a limiting

factor for many produc-

ers as they race against

shorter days and cooler

temperatures to get the

crop in the bin while

the quality is still

available. Some pro-

ducers will look to hire

custom combiners,

while others will want

more security and con-

trol to get the job done

and will rent or pur-

chase additional com-

bine capacity. There

will also be operators

looking to do some cus-

tom combining. So

what is the going rate

for custom combining

this year?

That depends…

The Ministry of Agri-

culture has an updated

Custom and Rental

Rate Guide for 2014-15

that gives detailed in-

formation regarding

guidelines for machine

ownership, operating

costs, custom rates and

rental rates for farm

machinery. This infor-

mation is provided as a

guideline and should be

interpreted and ad-

justed for individual

situations. There is

also an online calcula-

tor that has been up-

dated to provide

approximate costs for

renting equipment or

obtaining custom farm-

ing operations from an-

other farmer. An

alternative use for the

calculator is when

farmers share equip-

ment and need to es-

tablish the value of the

machinery and/or farm-

ing operation that is

being contributed to

each farm.

As before there is an

option on the calculator

to customize details for

a particular situation,

such as cost of the ma-

chinery, acres covered

per hour, labour cost

and so on. It also al-

lows users to calculate

the costs associated

with the combination of

up to three pieces of

farm equipment. The

Farm Machinery Cus-

tom and Rental Rate

Guide Calculator is

available online by fol-

lowing the link:

ture.gov.sk.ca/De-

fault.aspx?DN=f4b8494

2-e058-4b5f-92eb-

b4f5435bc9d6 .

Machinery costs are

comprised of both fixed

and variable costs.

Fixed costs are the

costs of ownership, and

won’t change as the

machine sees more use.

These are costs such as

depreciation, interest,

insurance, storage. Al-

though the yearly ex-

pense will not change

by adding more acres,

the cost per acre or per

hour will go down.

Variable costs include

repairs, fuel and oil,

and labour; these costs

will fluctuate according

to use of the machine.

tion on custom rates

rent Regional Office or

Marketing agricultural commodities is

often challenging due to many reasons

such as price volatility, unpredictable

product quality, policy changes, traceability is-

sues (for example, where foods come from) and so

on. Despite all these challenges farmers do mar-

ket their production every year and they do take

different strategies to mitigate risks in marketing

their products.

Grain contracting, forward selling, grain storage,

futures and options are some of the strategies

that are used by farmers to reduce their market-

ing risks. In this article I will talk about branding

which can give farmers an edge in marketing

their products. In fact, branding can be thought of

as a strategic tool not only for marketing. It can

also be utilized to add value to the farm, improve

risk management and even be used as a tool to

improve the public perception of agriculture.

Although there are many various types of farms

in Saskatchewan, only a very few of them (e.g.

many ranches and some vegetable growers) can

be identified with their brand names. The major-

ity of grain farms do not have any branding strat-

egy at all.

However, Kim Althouse (a market coach in

Saskatchewan with Agri-Trend and also the pres-

ident of www.eGrainCanada.com) sees it differ-

ently. Because a grain

farmer can find his/her

production in breads

and baking worldwide.

Kim Althouse states

that “to get it (your pro-

duce) there (worldwide)

you need the services of

one of our Prairie grain

handlers who clean and

blend to provide a consistent product demanded

by consumers. If your brand (product) is to be ac-

cepted and demanded, you may want to re-think

your relationships. What is your brand? Is it in

demand? Why or why not?”

Trish Henderson, in an article published in

AGRIBUSINESS magazine, says, “Consumers

are more and more interested in where their food

comes from. And with social media, it does not

matter if you are marketing farm products direct

to consumers or selling commodity grain or live-

stock – a brand name can create connections

along the entire value chain.”

So, branding is very important to everyone in the

agribusiness.

Branding is also important for host of other rea-

sons. A farm with a visible brand (at least a name

and logo) may represent its pride, can attract new

employees, and bring landlords to offer their land

for rent. Branding will display honesty, integrity,

trust, presence, reputation. The brand also dis-

plays a farm’s uniqueness, its tradition, legacy,

passion, best practice, quality, stewardship, and

so on.

Branding will also help in connecting with the

community and, more importantly, with urban

people (the largest segment of consumers). Many

urban people have been away from the farm for

years and may have a negative perception and

concern about various production practices that

farmers have been using. Thus, branding will

help promote public awareness of agriculture to

non-agrarian people and provide opportunities for

consumers to know where their food really comes

from.

For assistance in helping to create a brand con-

tact our Outlook Regional Office of the Ministry of

Agriculture (306-867-5577).

Putting up high

quality feed can

be a challenge

and the variability in

forage quality can be

high. Plant maturity

at cutting is the single

greatest factor that de-

termines overall forage

quality. As forage

plants mature, protein

content, digestibility

and amount of forage

an animal can eat de-

creases. Other factors

such as rainfall and nu-

trient levels in the soil

also affect the protein

and mineral content of

the forage. After cut-

ting, weathering of hay

in the windrow, leaf re-

tention during baling

and moisture content

at time of baling also

impact forage quality.

Feed testing your

forages can help to

manage the winter

feeding period. The

protein and energy re-

quirements of the cow

herd increase through

pregnancy and lacta-

tion (See table 1). Feed

test information can be

used to design a bal-

anced ration that

meets cow require-

ments based on the

stage of production.

Feed testing can pre-

vent over feeding, and

more importantly,

under feeding of the

cow herd.

Each type of forage

should be submitted for

a feed test. For in-

stance, if a producer

harvests an

alfalfa/grass mixed

stand, a pure alfalfa

stand and barley

greenfeed, samples

from each of these

fields should be col-

lected and submitted

for feed analysis sepa-

rately.

When submitting

forage samples for feed

testing, it is important

to collect a sample that

is representative of the

forage supply. A hay

probe is the best tool to

use to collect forage

samples. A hay probe

allows for a cross sec-

tion of the bale to be

sampled, collecting

both stems and leaves.

Collect a single sample

from up to about 20

bales from the same

field or lot. Combine

the probe core samples

into one composite

sample for analysis.

When sampling large

round bales, samples

should be collected on

the round side from the

lower half of the bale,

where there is a mini-

mal amount of weath-

ering. Hay probes are

available for use from

each Saskatchewan

Ministry of Agriculture

Regional Office at no

charge.

When submitting the

forage sample, take the

time to describe the for-

age properly. For ex-

ample, a description of

“70 % brome grass, 30

% alfalfa” or “barley

greenfeed” provides

greater detail than

“hay”. Choosing the

most appropriate feed

analysis is important.

A standard forage qual-

ity test provides infor-

mation on moisture,

energy, fiber and min-

eral content. Feed test

results are reported on

an “as fed” and a “dry

matter” basis. Dry

matter basis means

that all the moisture

has been removed,

which is important

when comparing nutri-

ent content between

forages or other feed in-

gredients.

tion on feed testing

Saturday morning they

Delisle placed 1st.

The first playoff game

against Lloydminster

Dodgers, Delisle pulled

off a come from behind

the Western Final.

The final was set,

Delisle vs Bruno for

gold. Devon Mcllough

pitched a 4-0 game

and the Delisle Dia-

mond Dogs captured

their first ever Western

Canadian title.

Trevor Ethier was

named tournament

MVP.

Coach Joel Durham

says he attributes the

gold medal winning

success of this team to

all 17 players playing a

role, “everyone con-

tributed at some point

during the four days in

Grand Prairie”.

Food for ThoughtA Finger in the Wind

Sometimes govern-

mental actions can

pass us by, some-

what akin to the frog in

the cold water rising to

the boil, we don’t notice

the changes. But changes

there have been, and the

damage to the Canadian

infrastructure has become

a disgrace.

The latest has been the

almost unheard of error

by Stats Canada in

recording the job creation

figures. That organiza-

tion’s very existence is

based on their infallibil-

ity, and the error comes

after repeated cuts in

funding of this vital insti-

tution. It simply is not

possible to cut budget, lay

off senior staff and expect

continuing success, unless

of course the objective is

to squelch the number of

crunchers that may or

may not support the gov-

ernment’s rhetoric. Re-

member, it was this

government that bull-

headedly insisted on shift-

ing from the long census

form to the shorter one

despite the protests from

the experts in Stats

Canada.

Another example that

rankles me has been the

almost total decimation of

our prediction services

which provides not just

weather, but flood and

fire and wild animal pop-

ulation outlooks. In all of

these cases, staff that

numbered in the several

hundreds of highly

trained technical people

has been shed from the

government rolls. Even

the automatic recording

stations have been drasti-

cally reduced.

Perhaps one of the most

bullheaded decisions in

this respect by the cur-

rent government was the

final dismemberment of

the Prairie Farm Rehabil-

itation Authority (PFRA).

These experienced engi-

neers and related special-

ists have been retired and

without an opportunity to

mentor their young re-

placements. This organi-

zation did yeoman’s work

for Canadian agriculture,

and was the organization

that would be called on

for almost any engineer-

ing task required. Re-

member it was PFRA that

built the Gardiner Dam

when a group of forward-

thinking politicians saw

the need and opportunity

(Diefenbaker, Gardiner

and Douglas). PFRA was

known worldwide and

was called on to assist the

US Corps of Engineers in

their struggles with the

functioning of the Missis-

sippi barge system. That

cutback was a disas-

trously bad decision.

As the infrastructure to

serve Canadians is piece

by piece dismantled, we

should be concerned about

the services we can expect

to receive from our federal

government. Transfer of

responsibility to the

provinces does not work

and particularly if it is

done with no money at-

tached. If this is the re-

sult of the actions of the

current government’s ide-

ology, then I want no part

of it.

MP REPORT

www.rmreview.net RM Review

Yesterday, I had the pleas-

ure of attending a num-

ber of informative events

with my colleague, the Hon-

ourable Maxime Bernier, Minis-

ter of State for Small Business

and Tourism, and Agriculture.

Minister Bernier held a lunch-

eon with members of the Board

of Directors of the Greater

Saskatoon Chamber of Com-

merce and later he held a

roundtable with small business

owners and tourism industry

leaders.

At these events we heard a

number of important messages.

First, that interprovincial trade

barriers need to be reduced or

eliminated. Many people would

be very surprised to learn of the

many impediments that exist,

preventing trade and the flow of

goods and services between

provinces.

Earlier this summer, the Hon-

ourable James Moore, Canada’s

Minister of Industry, in a

speech to the Halifax Chamber

of Commerce highlighted the

importance of eliminating inter-

provincial trade barriers in

order to create jobs.

Minister Bernier expressed

hope that the Premiers of

Canada’s provinces will make

this a priority so that their col-

lective economies can grow to

the benefit of all.

We also heard that business

owners want us to continue to

reduce red tape. Some regula-

tion is necessary but too much

regulation impedes growth and

the ability for small businesses

to expand.

Our Governments’ Red Tape Re-

duction Action Plan includes six

systemic reforms under three

major themes:

- Reducing the burden on busi-

nesses;

- Making it easier to do busi-

nesses with regulators;

- Improving service and pre-

dictability.

I want to thank

Minister Bernier for

coming to Saskatoon

and for his willing-

ness to listen to the

comments, concerns

and recommenda-

tions provided by

our local business

community.

Saskatchewan continues to be a

leader in economic growth with

more people, more jobs and

higher wages than ever before.

Driven by the confidence and contin-

ued contributions of our people, this

growth is reflected in the latest

labour force survey by Statistics

Canada.

Comparing July 2013 to July 2014,

there were 10,600 new full-time jobs

in Saskatchewan, our youth unem-

ployment rate was the lowest among

the provinces at half the national av-

erage, and there was noticeable de-

cline in Aboriginal unemployment.

Our province’s 3.2 per cent unem-

ployment rate, our lowest since Stats

Canada started recording employ-

ment data in 1976, was lower than

every other province as well as 49 of

50 American states. This is a good in-

dication that our economy is on the

right track.

There is more work to do, particu-

larly in terms of education and skills

training, if we are going to address

the labour market challenges that

exist in our province. Addressing

that particular need, the Govern-

ment of Canada and Government of

Saskatchewan recently signed two

agreements that will help develop

the skilled workforce we need going

forward.

Through The Canada-

Saskatchewan Job Grant,

Saskatchewan businesses can invest

in training to equip workers with the

skills they need to prosper in today's

economy. Designed to be flexible

enough to meet the needs of all busi-

nesses, this will provide employers

with up to $10,000 for training costs

for an individual worker, including

tuition and training materials.

Currently, there are more than

14,000 available jobs listed online at

saskjobs.ca. The Canada-

Saskatchewan Job Grant will work to

help our people and businesses with

their personal and professional

growth while helping our province

and, in turn, all Saskatchewan peo-

ple succeed. You can learn more

about the job grant online at econ-

omy.gov.sk.ca/job-grant.

Under the new Canada–

Saskatchewan Labour Market Agree-

ment for Persons with Disabilities,

the Government of Canada will pro-

vide more than $10.8 million per year

to Saskatchewan, a contribution that

will be matched by the province.

With increased employer involve-

ment and a stronger focus on demon-

strating the best possible results, the

new agreement will better connect

people living with disabilities with

the jobs that are available to them.

Our government’s growth agenda is

focused on a better quality of life for

all Saskatchewan people. Our

Growth Plan, which sets out our vi-

sion for a province of 1.2 million peo-

ple by 2020, identifies the principles,

goals and actions to ensure

Saskatchewan is capturing opportu-

nities and meeting the challenges of

a growing province. Affordable hous-

ing is a key part of this plan.

A new agreement with the Govern-

ment of Canada will help more indi-

viduals and families in need access

affordable housing. Over the next

five years, an additional $91.9 mil-

lion will be delivered through an ex-

tension to the Investment in

Affordable Housing (IAH) Agree-

ment.

The previous $55.14 million IAH

agreement (2011-2014) was used to

build 631 residential units, repairing

another 1,103 across the province.

The agreement provides flexibility in

deciding how we decide to allocate

this investment, according to our

local needs and priorities. In part,

thanks to investments by the federal

government, since 2011, our govern-

ment has invested $326 million to de-

velop more than 5,600 units and

repair more than 24,300 homes.

Affordability is the focus of the

Saskatchewan Transportation Com-

pany’s September Seat Sale. The pro-

motion gives seniors, age 60 and

over, the option of riding anywhere

STC travels for just $15 one-way. Not

only is this a convenient, comfortable

and environmentally-friendly way to

travel, seniors can save a substantial

amount of money. Tickets can be pur-

chased at any STC agency through

the month of September.

Anyone who has been out to

the Delisle Cemetery in the

past few months will have no-

ticed that a lot of work has recently

been done, and there is more to

come.

The seacan has been painted,

thanks to Wayne Flach.

You will also notice that a flower bed

has been built, thanks to Cliff

Merkosky, the Olson Family and

also Larry Link (who provided the

topsoil). Anyone that wishes to do-

nate some hardly perennials please

contact Brenda Laing or Rita Pfoh.

Over 140 grave markers have also

been made and placed on the un-

marked graves. Ron Junop, his sons

and other volunteers, used Ron’s

equipment to remove more than 40

broken and sunken grave covers.

Core Cut Industries cut the head-

stones from the covers. The head-

stones were replaced and the

removed covers have been filled with

dirt and will be seeded with grass

this fall or in the spring as there are

still a few more covers to be removed

and filled. Core Cut Industries did

the cutting of the covers.

Bob Pfoh has looked after the

equipment (mowers, whippers, etc.)

that the Urban Camp workers use,

every other week. The work done re-

cently has been the efforts of volun-

teers, but there have been many

costs associated with the painting,

landscape ties, as well as cutting

and removing the covers. There will

be more costs upcoming to engrave

the stones and plaques for the un-

marked graves.

The money that the Delisle Ceme-

tery Committee has raised from run-

ning BBQ’s over the past few years

is quickly depleting.

Anyone wishing to donate would be

greatly appreciated. Donations can

be made to the Delisle Cemetery

Committee at the Delisle Town Of-

fice.

The committee is also looking for

volunteers.

If you are interested contact

Brenda Laing at 306 - 493 - 2460

or Rita Pfoh at 306 - 493 - 2236
