Bentleys Honored in Delisle

INDEX

he community of Delisle came out in full force to witness the unveiling of a sign erected in the town, to honor the hockey accomplishments of locals Max & Doug Bentley.

The brothers came from a local family of 13 children and found their way to play in the NHL from 1940 - 1960.

The pair played together for the Chicago Blackhawks from 1940-1948, after which Max played for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Doug was inducted into the NHL Hall of Fame in 1964 and brother Max was inducted in 1966.

The sign unveiling ceremony took place in the morning on March 29th and featured local dignitaries including Delisle Mayor Dave Anderchek, MLA Randy Weeks, MP Kelly Block, and Saskatoon Mayor Don Atchison, along with

many Bentley family members.

At the ceremony the members of the Bentley sign committee were recognized for all of the time and effort that went into planning, designing and fundraising that made this day a reality.

Hockey fans of all stripes came from miles around to witness the unveiling and then moved indoors where they enjoyed an amazing display of the brothers’ awards and memorabilia. Afterwards they spent the afternoon enjoying a lunch while they traded memories of the Bentley family.

There are now plans to name several of the streets in Delisle after the Bentley family, including Bentley Way where Max had lived, and Saskatoon will also be naming five streets in the Blairmore neighborhood.

“Spring Cleaning”

A

fter what has been one of the hardest winters to get through, we can finally look forward to spring. Many people kick into spring cleaning mode at this time of year, washing windows, cleaning up the yard, changing the furnace filter, etc... and we are pleased to do it.

We take pride in where and how we live.

But we don’t just live in our house, or farms, for many of us we also live in the RM of Vanscoy.

We happily invest our valueable time into our individual dwellings, and we should also invest some of that time into looking after our larger, communal home that we share with all of our neighbors.

You may not have a grounds keeper or pool boy at your house, but you do employ a crew of maintenance and administrative people to look after your ‘extended yard’ around home.

You also have 6 elected councilors and a Reeve working for you as well. These members of council have generously given thier valuable time, some for many years now, to represent you in the RM of Vanscoy. I suspect many of you have never met your own representative, or maybe even know what division you live in.

There are many issues that concern your home in the RM of Vanscoy.... spring flooding, road maintenance, population growth and it’s associated rezoning, policing and firefighting, plus council’s implementation of the Official Commu-

If you now realize that you want to become more aware of how your community home is being looked after, I urge you to attend the Spring Ratepayer Meeting on Wednesday, April 9th in Vanscoy.

This meeting is put on just for you, through the efforts of your local council.

Not every RM takes the time to do this for the people they represent, we are fortunate ours does.

They have arranged a guest speaker to inform us about the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, of which we are members, as well as an engineer to discuss Asset Management. We are blessed with the operations of Agrium in our RM. It is from their taxes and community support that we actually have some assets to manage.

Council will also be presenting the “Citizen of the Year” award to one of your neighbors (or to you?)

Like every council meeting, this meeting is open to the public, though there are only 100 tickets available for the supper portion of the event.

Tickets available from any councilor (maybe give yours a call) or at the RM office in Vanscoy. See the list of councilors and division map below.

Come and learn about what you are paying for.

Happy Easter and be sure to enter our Mother’s Day Contest at www.rmreview.net.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

I

n his ‘Facing Forward’ article in the March issue of the RM Review, C.M. Williams is right on when it comes to the environment. Upcoming elections should be about clear environmental policy and sustainable development.

Unfortunately, there is still too much confusion about Climate Change (Global Warming), Alternative Energy, Nuclear Energy, Carbon Taxes, Pipelines, etc... Even now, some 17 years since the Kyoto Climate Change Convention, the media still publishes news articles and stories on the "concepts" or "theories" of Climate Change and alternative positions on "global cooling" and "natural patterns" are also routinely presented.

Without people coming to-

gether to broadly support change, the politicians and the public get bogged down in fruitless debate.

But things are looking up.

Finally, many mainstream media sources are beginning to present only factual information as Climate Change is now widely accepted.

In 2013, the Los Angels Times publicly admitted that it will not publish "Climate Denier" letters. Saying “there’s no sign humans have caused climate change” is not stating an opinion, it’s asserting a factual inaccuracy. http://grist.org/news/la-times-wont-publish-climate-denier-letters/ Once the public, lobbyists, industry, and politicians pull toward the same

cause, anything can happen. Many folks seem overwhelmed by the scale of climate change and the pervasiveness of fossil fuels, but change is possible. Consider former President Dwight Eisenhower's Interstate Highway Bill of 1956: the US federal government implemented a gasoline tax to fund a non-divertible highway trust fund which led to the construction of 42,500 miles of superhighways.

This changed the face of America and undermined railways, public transport, and encouraged behavior that contributes significantly to climate change.

From industry analysts to economists and policy makers; all are pushing to put a price on Carbon.

The Organization of Economic Cooperation and

Development published a report in 2013 calling on its member countries to introduce effective carbon taxes. Similar to the sweeping changes brought about with the 1956 Interstate Highway Bill, imagine what could happen if these carbon taxes were forwarded to a nondivertible clean energy fund!

The next elections (federal and provincial) should be talking environmental policy. It appears that Canadians are more prepared to objectively consider a Carbon Tax than when it was raised as an issue in 2008.

Heck, even Alberta has introduced a price on Carbon and that was back in 2007!

New Contract for Prairie Spirit School Division CUPE Staff Members

C

UPE employees in Prairie Spirit School Division have a new contract. The new contract was signed by the Prairie Spirit Board of Education and Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) leadership on March 20, 2014.

The Prairie Spirit Board of Education approved the agreement at its regular meeting on March 17.

This agreement covers support staff throughout the Division who are CUPE members, including bus drivers, bus garage staff, administra-

tive assistants, educational associates, caretakers, maintenance workers, computer technical support staff and school library support staff. In addition to the CUPE support staff members, Prairie Spirit also has a number of support staff who are part of an Out-of Scope employee group.

“We are very pleased with the ratification of this four-year contract with our CUPE employees,” said Larry Pavloff, Prairie Spirit Board Chair. “Our support staff members throughout the Division

are valued members of our team. We look forward to our continuing good work together in the future.”

The contract is retroactive to September 1, 2012 and in effect until August 31, 2016. As a result of the new contract, CUPE support staff will receive a 7.65% increase over four years. The CUPE contract covers approximately 400 employees in Prairie Spirit School Division.

“We were satisfied with a membership voter turnout of almost 50% and for the support of 75% of those

P.E.D.

he disease Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea commonly called P.E.D. has been gradually working its way across North America most prevalent in the eastern U.S. and in Ontario. But an outbreak in North Dakota and Manitoba indicates its path. The disease only strikes piglets but is a 100% killer.

There is no known cure for P.E.D. and no medical intervention such

as a vaccination. The only recommendation is to tighten up the usual health protection. At one time the use of boots and clothing change rooms were laughed at but that sort of regime is standard now. It has been determined that the commercial feed supplies are probably not suspects so trucks and workers are likely the carriers.

The pattern of a virus is unpredictable. It

is not known yet if a herd can be reinfected, or whether this virus will simply die out from the effects of good health management. It should (but probably won’t) make the Animal Rights people think again about their insistence on dismantling the recommended system of management.

Opinions are those of the author.

who voted,” said Grace Wudrick, CUPE local president. “We are pleased to have the agreement ratified and the process completed.”

As a result of the new contract, CUPE and Prairie Spirit leadership will hold regular monthly meetings to support the strong working relationship between the school division and CUPE.

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL

VANSCOY SCHOOL

Pike Lake School is a busy place as students and staff members are continuing to learn and grow together. With the arrival of spring students are enjoying their outdoor recess, playing and soaking up the sunshine. We hope that the sun continues to shine and that we can start to return to using the beautiful Pike Lake outdoor space for our classroom in the coming weeks and months.

Students continue to work hard on our school goal of increasing reading fluency and comprehension. As part of our school goal, we had a special author visit from Marion Mutala. Students enjoyed learning about the Ukrainian culture and traditions as Marion shared her trilogy of books she has recently completed entitled “Baba’s Babushka.” We appreciate Marion taking time to share her love of writing! Ms. Mutala spoke to us about how she created and wrote her trilogy of stories and also shared a few of the traditions common in the Ukrainian culture. The students totally enjoyed the presentation and were engaged throughout her talk. The students even learned to say a few words in the Ukrainian language! Marion took the opportunity to relate her book/culture to express the need to get along and how valuable it is to understand each other – no matter what the culture. Thank you, Ms. Mutala for coming to share your stories and knowledge. Thanks also to the Saskatchewan Writer’s Guild for helping to fund this wonderful author’s visit!

In the coming weeks Pike Lake School will be excited to host another wonderful Canadian Author. For many years Canadian youth have been enjoying Eric Wilson's Mysteries making Eric a Canadian Best Selling Author. Eric Wilson began his career as a teacher in British Columbia. Seeking to motivate the reluctant readers in his classroom, Eric began writing for them. His stories were a great success, and have subsequently also found a wide audience among bookworms and many adults.

Over the years, Eric has visited thousand of schools to celebrate books and our nation. In 2002, Eric received the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal for his work in promoting literacy and furthering a love of Canada among his readers.

We would like to thank everyone who was able to come in for Student-Led Conferences. We believe that allowing students to lead their conferences, allows them to feel confident in themselves and take ownership for their learning. It is always a joy to see students excited to share their learning with those that mean the most to them.

Welcome to the month of April! Thank you to everyone who supported our Book Fair. We were able to get a lot of new books for our classrooms and library. We had our Epic Math Challenge and the winner this year was the grade six class. Everyone did great and it was awesome to see the enthusiasm from those involved. The grade four to eight classes went skiing to Table Mountain and everyone had a great time. Our International Club is currently learning about India & Bangladesh.

Vanscoy School will be having its annual fundraiser on April 4th. It is a Bingo Night, so come out and support the school. The Bingo is to start at 6:45. Badminton season is already winding down and the teams that will be representing our school have been chosen. Those teams will be heading to playoffs on April 7th. We have a well-known Canadian author visiting our school on April 10th. Eric Wilson will be coming to Vanscoy to speak to students about the importance of literacy. Our Fine Arts Performance of Treasure Island is fast approaching. Students are eagerly practicing their lines and preparing for the event. There will be an afternoon performance on April 15th as well as an afternoon and evening performance on April 16th.

Students are looking forward to the upcoming Easter Break and are hoping that the weather is nice for that week off. Have an excellent April!

Dates to Remember April 11 – Eric Wilson April 15 – SCC Spring Assembly @ 7:00 p.m. in Warman April 16 – Fake an Injury Day and Hot Meal April 18 – NO SCHOOL Good Friday April 21 to 25 – NO SCHOOL Easter Break

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL February was a fun but short month at Pike Lake Preschool! The students celebrated the Winter Olympics and Valentine's Day. The 4-year olds made snails for Pink Day and the 3-year olds coloured a rainbow for Number 6 Day. In March, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day with plenty of green clothing, crafts, food, and games. Both groups also tried to celebrate spring with spring flowers and butterflies, but as per usual, the weather didn't cooperate. I think I might have to start celebrating spring in May instead of March! The 4-year olds made some wonderful solar systems during Space Day and both groups had fun with 7's this month.

April will be a fairly short month for the 3-year olds, but we will learn about yellow and 8, and have a fun-filled Easter party. There is also a new student starting which brings us up to 5 3-year olds! The 4-year olds will be at preschool on April Fool's Day...I wonder what mischief we can get up to! They will also learn about yellow and 8, and they have a couple more days where we will try to experiment both with science (possibly volcanoes, rainbows, or some other messy topic) and in the kitchen again. We have had a lot of fun with our food experiences!

My next newsletter should hopefully talk about warmer weather and longer days!

Enjoy April and Happy Easter!!

Most of the after school activities have come to a close as well but a whole bunch more are on the way! Intermural basketball is still going on in the gym so don’t forget to cheer on the teams! The countdown until Gym Blast as also begun as it is in May. Be sure to check the colorful posters near the trophy cases to see what team you are on.

The SRC, on behalf of the entire school, would also like to congratulate Ashley Chouinard for making it so far in her wrestling competitions! Ashley is a grade 12 student who has been working hard and has won gold in provincial wrestling! She also is a part of the Huskies wrestling team as well and competed in Edmonton at nationals.

2nd Annual Mother & Daughter Tea Party

W

e are very excited to be planning the 2nd Annual Mother & Daughter Tea Party for our community. Last year was so much fun and everyone who came had a great time. On Sunday, April 27th at 2:00 pm we are asking all the girls in the community to join us in their prettiest dresses and come to the Vanscoy hall for an afternoon of tea and fun. The Vanscoy Community Recreation Board is hosting this year’s tea party with any money raised going towards improvements to the hall and continued community events.

A donation at the door includes crafts, tea, snacks, and games. We will have a corner set up to take

pictures so please bring your cameras. There will be a raffle basket and door prizes as well so bring your sisters, aunts, grandmas and girlfriends. This event will be a great afternoon bonding with the people we love and visiting with great friends.

We are still looking for some help with preparations this year. Decorating Help: Saturday April 26th Time TBA at the Vanscoy Circle Hall. Kitchen Shifts on April 27th: Needing 4 people per shift - 1:45 – 3:15 and 3:15 – 4:45 (please let us know asap).

Lord Asquith School Wish Quilt

E

very year Mrs. Addley’s grade 4 class make a quilt that we give away as a random act of kindness. Four years ago the grade four class made a very special quilt and gave it to Lily Burton, a spirited kindergarten student who was undergoing treatment for Leukemia. This year Lily is healthy and in Mrs. Addley’s class.

She suggested that we make a quilt to benefit the Children’s Wish Foundation.

And so we did.

We made a WISH quilt, and each student painted an amazing quilt square with their wish for the world. Parents are helping us sew up the quilt. It will be ready soon, and will be on display in the elementary hallway. We

will be raffling off the quilt and donating the proceeds to the Children’s Wish Foundation. We have set a goal of raising $1,500. Tickets will be $2.00 a piece or 3 for $5.00, and will be available at Lord Asquith School April 129. The raffle draw will be on April 30th. You may purchase tickets, or donate directly to the Children’s Wish Foundation, but please let them know it is in support of the wish quilt, as we would like to keep track of the amount we raise.

Please feel free to drop by the school to check out the quilt, and support the generous giving spirit of this very special group of students.

Celebrate Mother’s Day on May 11th

H

istorians claim that Mother's Day originates from ancient spring festivals dedicated to maternal goddesses. Greeks honored Rhea, wife of Cronus and mother of the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology. Ancient Romans had a spring festival dedicated to Cybele, also a mother goddess.

Called Hilaria, this celebration lasted for three days and included parades, games and masquerades.

Modern Mother's Day began in the 1600s in England. Mothering Sunday was celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent.

Small gifts were given, and a special dessert called a simnel cake was served.

In America, Mother's Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe. But it was a woman who was never a mother herself who led the campaign for national recognition of Mother's Day. Anna Jarvis held a ceremony in 1907 in West Virginia, to honor her mother, who had died two years earlier. Jarvis' mother had tried to establish Mother's Friendship

Days as a way of dealing with the aftermath of the Civil War. Anna Jarvis began a campaign to create a national holiday honoring mothers. She and her supporters wrote to ministers, businessmen and politicians, and they were successful in their efforts.

In 1910, West Virginia became the first state to recognize the new holiday, and the nation fol-

erously provide by the following local businesses: The Britannia Restaurant in Asquith is owned and operated by Jim Maddin, who is also the Mayor of the Town.

They have become well known for their Sunday brunches and English Style Fish & Chips. Next time you take someone out for a meal, tell them ‘Meet me at the Brit’.

My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it. - Mark Twain lowed in 1914 when President Wilson declared the second Sunday in May to be Mother's Day. Mother's Day continues to be a very commercial holiday. Flowers, candy and cards are typical gifts, and phone traffic is especially high on the second Sunday in May. The RM Review is again helping you celebrate Mother’s Day with our annual Mother’s Day Contest.

Costa Rica Black Pepper

B

Fresh, Fruity, Full of Flavor!

lack pepper, the King of spice, dates back to the beginning of the spice trade.

Not all pepper is created equal. At Orchard del Sol, in Costa Rica, their uniquely flavored black pepper has made a name for itself. Pepper aficionados have used the term “Tellicherry” to describe some of the highest quality peppercorns produced. Until now!

Tellicherry Peppercorns were originally named for the region in which they are grown and the ripeness in which they were harvested.

Orchard del Sol has been producing some of the most unique and flavorful peppercorns for more than 15 years.

What sets quality pepper apart from the rest? The maturity of the peppercorn seed, the ripeness when harvested, the drying technique and the care in which the spice is handled before it reaches the consumer.

Why such a difference in prices in the spice industry?

Simple. Like any commodity the industry finds a way to “cut” the purity of a product without having to redefine the name. This is the case with ground black pepper. The plant itself is a vine that produces a stem, about 3 inches in length, where small, minuscule flowers develop to become the seeds, or what we know as peppercorns of the plant known as Piper Nigrum, or Black Pepper. Like any immature fruit, if not left to mature,

its flavor is compromised. Immature pepper, along with the dried stem the seeds grow on, is used to cut ground black pepper.

The blacker and grayer the pepper, the more likely the pepper to be cut and of the poorest quality.

How to buy black pepper?

Whole! Peppercorns have a thin skin, thinner than your finger nail, that when dried turns black. It is this thin skin that gives the peppercorn its color yet provides no flavor. Try scraping the skin off a peppercorn.

Reveal the white seed underneath.

There is the flavor. There is the life of the seed or peppercorn.

Black pepper is still the king of spice. Do yourself a favor. Buy a pepper grinder and purchase some quality peppercorns and smell and taste the difference.

Whole Natural Flavors, members of the Saskatoon Farmers Market, connect consumers with the quality pepper products produced at Orchard del Sol. Have you tried their “Truly Lemon Pepper”?

Ripe, red, peppercorns are aged in lemon juice like fine wine to become this fragrantly citrus bouquet of salt and gluten free spice.

The Sad Truth about Growing Old

R

emember the days when you were young, when you could run, jump and play and although your body would tire, the next day you would wake up ready to do it all over again.

When we are young the tissues of the body are moister and more resilient. The regular act of play each day was enough to keep our ligaments and joints mobile. But one day you realized that your body aches, you can no longer run or jump without fear of pulling something, and the thought of play just seems out of reach.

Each day that we are alive, our body is in constant state of contracture that literally means shrinking or shortening.

According to the Orthopedic Knowledge Network, contracture is defined as a “persistent loss of full passive range of motion at a joint resulting from structural changes in soft tissues.” Contracture leaves us feeling tight, achy and stiff. Whether you sit at a desk for long hours, or perform repetitive motions on the job, your body is going to get sore, ache and sometimes downright hurt. Over time, these stresses and discomforts

slowly start to reduce our flexibility and range of motion: the body literally starts shrink and become frozen.

If contracture is not countered by regularly stressing the joints they can become “frozen”. The most common example of over contracture is frozen shoulder syndrome (adhesive capsulitis). Here’s the typical frozen shoulder story: • Granny falls down and sprains her wrist.

• Grandma’s wrist is put in a sling.

Six weeks later the wrist is better but grandma’s shoulder is frozen.

Sound familiar? Well this same contracture or shortening process happens on a smaller scale in every joint in our body, when they are underused and under stretched. It also happens when our body suffers a major trauma or injury, dystrophy, high stress levels and immobilization.

But what if you could slow this process?

According to Paul Grilley, Founder of Yin Yoga, “a regular practice of applied tension or stretch into the ligaments and joints can reduce this shortening, the natural therapeutic for ligament contracture

is long, sustained traction.”

owners of Golden Yoga & Wellness and certified Yin Yoga Teachers; they currently offer three yin yoga classes a week at Pike Lake. Nicole is also a certified Thai Massage therapist. She travels from Delisle,

of certified teacher who has a deep knowledge of anatomy and joint compression. If you have injuries, share these with your yoga teacher so that they can adequately modify postures to fit your unique physical needs.

Start slow and expect to take time to rejuvenate your body. Other positive side effects to this style of practice is quiet contemplation, deep breathing and an overwhelming sense of calm.

Paul Grilley explains the difference between stretching muscles and ligaments: “The analogy is that of stretching taffy versus stretching a rubber band. Muscles are like rubber bands, they can be stretched easily. Ligaments are like taffy, if they are pulled too hard they tear. But if a modest stress is placed upon them and sustained then they gently elongate without tearing. Although these elongations are minute they are necessary to balance against contracture.”

So what’s the answer?

Yin Yoga is the physical practice of applying long gentle tension onto a ligament and or joint to increase its pliability and strength. It does not include rapid movements, and it doesn’t take the body beyond where it can go. You won’t learn how to do a headstand or be asked to twist into a pretzel. You will, however, find your way into a long, subtle stretch that allows you to slowly and gently open the body.

Need For Speed

ast cars, revenge, and the need for speed fuel this high octane racing flick.

Aaron Paul stars as Tobey Marshall, a mechanic who was framed by his rival for a crime he didn't commit.

After he is released from prison, Tobey races to get his vengeance against the man who put him in prison. Need For Speed is a fantastic action movie for ages 13 and up to enjoy.

Aaron Paul gives a revved-up performance; this is his first film since the end of the hit drama series, Breaking Bad, and he is

giving his all. He owns all of his scenes and carries the whole movie by himself. The supporting cast gives most of the comic relief, especially Kid Cudi in his

role as Benny. Even though there is a romantic interest in this film, it is very cliche and didn't leave an impact on the movie in my opinion.

By Ethan Mathieu One thing that I did not like about this movie is the villain.

Dino, played by Dominic Cooper, is just your generic bad guy. Dominic Cooper's performance is bland, boring, and he didn't feel like a villain at all. You can see the outcome of his character from a mile away.

Overall this is a great film to see if you feel like big action and fast cars.

I am going to be giving Need For Speed a 7/10.

AGRICULTURE REPORTS Kari Burnett P.Ag. Regional Farm Business Management Specialist

T

here is an old management saying, “what you can measure, you can manage”, and this is very true in agriculture today. Understanding your cost of production is important in farm management - whether you are producing crops such as wheat and lentils, or livestock products such as cattle, hogs, or eggs. It is a critical step in your ability to set price targets for marketing. If you know how much you need to cover your costs, it can be easier to determine what a good price is. It can also help to determine your coverage needs when it comes time to determine what level of crop insurance you should take on.

An accurate calculation of your cost per bushel or per animal produced will provide a valuable guide to enterprise decisions such as crop rotations and livestock production. Bear in mind, the cost of production on your farm will not be the same as your neighbour’s cost.

Costs to include are both variable costs and fixed costs. Variable costs change according to what you are producing – things like seed, fertilizer, chemical, crop insurance premiums, feed, veterinary and medicine costs, fuel and repairs. Fixed costs tend to remain the same even as production changes – things like your phone bill, accounting bill, depreciation, and property taxes.

ecommended plant populations for spring wheat are 250 plants per square metre. There has been a thought that producers may see a benefit to increasing plant populations with newer varieties.

A number of the AgriARM groups in the province undertook a 2 year study to look at what were optimum seeding rates and plant populations to arrive at the highest yields and economic returns. They used seeding rates in increments of 60 seeds per square metre from 60 to 480 seeds per square metre. Data collected included plant populations, grain yields and thousand kernel weights. In addition they calculated eco-

producers in estimating their cost of production for the various crops. The crop planning guide includes each of the three soil zones in the province as well as the specialty crops guide. The Crop Planning Guide is also available online, at www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/ crop-planning-guides.

The guide contains an estimate of variable and fixed expenses for an average sized farm in each of the soil zones. For 2014, the general assumptions are stated at the front of the guide. The crop prices used are farm gate price estimates based on information available in early December 2013, and should be continually adjusted as spring approaches. The yields used are increased by 20% above long term Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) yields to reflect a higher level of management and higher input levels.

It is important to understand that the figures used are estimated costs based on recommended production practices for that soil zone and are meant to be used as a guide. To make the best use of the Crop Planning Guide it is important to use the worksheet supplied with the publication, or to use the downloadable spreadsheet from the website. You can then enter your own costs, yields and commodity price estimates, as well as your overhead expenses. Of course, some of these are unknown at this time of year, but using the best information available and

updating as the season progresses will keep your target prices updated.

On-line Calculators In addition to the published crop planning guides, a number of on-line calculators are available on the Ministry of Agriculture website. The planners are Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and may be useful tools in determining your individual cost of production. To find these calculators go to the Ministry of Agriculture website at www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca and search for “on-line calculators”.

Some of the calculators found here that may be useful in determining your costs of production include: The Crop Planner Bale Grazing Calculator Beef Cow-Calf Plan Cattle Feeding Break Even Calculator Farm Machinery Custom Rental Rate Guide Calculator Knowing your break-even yields and prices won’t guarantee a farm profit but it does keep you on target when used in decision making and can greatly improve your chances of success.

O

ver the last few seasons you may have noticed your saline sloughs expanding.

With the wetter than normal seasons the past few years your 1-2 acres saline patch has increased to 510 acres or worse. Seeding this saline patch to a forage mix is one way to stop the spread of this salinity.

Saline soils are soils that contain high concentrations of soluble salts such as: sodium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, calcium sulphate, sodium chloride (table salt). These salts, when present in high concentrations, limit or prevent plant growth of crops and forages. In extreme concentrations a white crust forms on the soil surface and nothing grows.

Saline soils are formed by the movement of excess moisture through the soil into groundwater. The ground water will dissolve salts in the soil profile in low concentrations and will travel down until it reaches a layer it cannot pass through. The groundwater will then travel laterally until it comes close (within 1.5 m) to the soil surface where it is wicked back to the soil surface by capillary action. The water then evaporates away and the salt is left.

If this happens repeatedly the salts become concentrated and a saline patch is formed.

Salinity can be controlled by planting perennial forages that can help to lower the existing groundwater

Forage Seeding in Saline Soils

levels. This allows the salts to be flushed down lower in the rooting zone.

Forages also provide ground cover and shading to help reduce evaporation of water at the soil surface, thereby reducing the capillary rise of salty water compared with bare soil areas.

The forage species chosen to control salinity will depend on several factors.

One factor is the severity of the salinity. Some forage species tolerate high levels of saline salt better than others. Another factor is the planned use of the forage such as hay, grazing or idling for wildlife. Some forage species are more palatable than others. Another factor to consider is whether this saline area is prone to flooding. Some forage species tolerate flooding better than others. Consult your local Regional Forage Specialist to get the best forage mix to seed into your saline area.

Through the Farm Stewardship Program of Growing Forward II there is funding available to assist with the cost of seeding forages into saline areas.

The funding limits are 50% of your seed cost up to a limit of $5000.00 (based on a seed cost of $35.00/acre). You must have completed your Environmental Farm Plan within the last ten years and you must meet the program eligibility requirements. The forage seed mix must be acceptable to

the Regional Forage Specialist. For more information on this program go to our website at www.gov.sk.ca//GF2FarmStewardship and look at Land Management Beneficial Management Practises (BMPs).

Optimum Seeding Rates for Spring Wheat nomic returns at seed costs of $9, $11 and $13 per bushel and grain prices of $100, $200 and $300 per tonne.

There were some results of note that only occurred in specific sites and years. At Indian Head with better growing conditions they found that lodging became a problem at higher seeding rates. Drier sites did not always have a yield increase with increases in plant density. Actual plant populations at the sites were more variable than expected. They were expected to be 80 to 90 per cent of the seeding rate.

The range across the sites was 33 to 107 per cent of the seeding rate when 300 seeds per square metre were used as the seeding

rate.

Optimum seeding rates for the maximum yield across these sites and years was 306 seeds per square metre. The optimum plant density to arrive at maximum yield was 191 plants per square metre.

Maximum economic returns were achieved with seeding rates of 238 to 292 seeds per square metre.

This was based on all the combinations of grain and seed prices. This would equate to a seeding rate of 90 pounds per acre with average seed size.

Fairness in Federal Public Service Benefits March 28, 2014 Kelly Block, M.P.

O

ur Conservative Government is committed to keeping taxes low, returning to balanced budgets and respecting Canadian taxpayers’ dollars.

In keeping with these goals, this past Wednesday, the Government approved a joint recommendation from the Public Service Health Care Plan Partners Committee regarding contribution rates and eligibility requirements for retired federal employees as well as benefit enhancements for all Plan members under the Public Service Health Care Plan, that will result in significant savings for Canadian taxpayers.

TENDER The Village of Vanscoy is accepting tenders for a new 36” x 80” pre-hung steel security door complete with aluminum sill, for the water treatment plant, until 2:00 PM on April 14, 2014.

The tenders may be dropped off at the Village Office during business hours 9:00am-12:00pm & 1:00pm-5:00pm Monday - Thursday & 9:00am-11:00am Friday.

The bidders are encouraged to view the site by contacting the Village Administrator at 306-668-2008 during business hours.

This negotiated agreement is fair and reasonable, and will result in significant savings for Canadian taxpayers as well as enhanced benefits for both current federal employees and retirees.

All parties recognize the importance of continuing to offer a voluntary, supplementary health care plan to all members, which is in line with comparable private sector plans. The Government of Canada

thanked all parties for reaching a fair, fiscally responsible and sustainable agreement.

As announced in Economic Action Plan 2014, retired member contributions to the Plan will transition to equal cost sharing (50:50).

Further, the number of years of service required to be eligible to participate in the Plan in retirement will increase to six.

The Budget also indicated that the Government of Canada was prepared to consider reasonable plan improvements provided they were fair to taxpayers.

This agreement has secured benefit enhancements for all plan members (not just retired members) for services that promote employee health and wellness, and offer coverage in areas of increased interest to plan members.

The Plan remains comparable to plans of other mid-to-large employers in Canada.

Quick facts about this Agreement: _ Effective April 1, 2015 retired members' cost sharing will gradually be increased from 75:25 (employer/retired member) to 50:50 over a four year period. Low income retired members will not be affected.

_ Effective January 1, 2015 the annual deductible will be eliminated.

Plan members will no longer have to pay the first $60 for single coverage or $100 for family coverage per calendar year. _ Effective October 1, 2014 benefit enhancements will be introduced including reimbursement for laser eye surgery with a lifetime maximum benefit of $1,000 and an increase to the annual maximum benefit for psychological services from $1,000 to $2,000. _ Effective April 1, 2015 new retired members, with certain exemptions, will require a total of six years or more of pensionable service to be eligible as a retired member under the Public Service Health Care Plan.

Our Government’s work to modernize the public service is part of our commitment to strong financial management and spending restraint.

Supporting Our Seniors March 26, 2014 Randy Weekes, MLA

Health Region and funding to plan for more long-term care beds in La Ronge.

he 2014-15 provincial budget keeps Saskatchewan on track for steady growth. The budget is balanced without tax increases at a time when revenues are flat and, by controlling spending, our government is proudly making important investments in infrastructure and people.

Our focus is the continued growth of our province, not for the sake of growth, but because of the dividends of growth that can create a better quality for life for all Saskatchewan people – including those with disabilities. It is our goal of to become the best place in Canada for people with disabilities to live. The 2014-15 budget supports that with $446.2 million dedicated to provide services and supports, an overall increase of $84.3 million over last year.

T

One of our top priorities is supporting our seniors, to make life more affordable for those who worked hard to build the province we all enjoy today. Starting in July 2014, Saskatchewan seniors will see a $10 per month increase in benefits under the Seniors Income Plan. This means a maximum monthly benefit of $260 for single seniors and $225 for married members. Next year, the single benefit will increase to $270 per month, triple what it was in 2007.

Our government is increasing benefits under the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program for the third year in a row. Designed in collaboration with the disability community, SAID is a landmark income support program for people with disabilities. The increase – $20 a month for those in residential care, $50 a month for individuals and $55 a month for couples – comes into effect in June 2014, benefiting more than 12,000 households.

The nearly 15,000 Saskatchewan seniors who receive monthly benefits under the Seniors Income Plan are entitled to additional health benefits such as one free eye examination every 12 months, chiropractic services (to a maximum of 12 services per year), a reduced Prescription Drug Plan semi-annual deductible, a home care subsidy and an exemption from many of the charges under the Saskatchewan Aids to Independent Living Program.

Our Steady Growth budget also includes funding for Autism interventions, FASD prevention programming and community supports as well as dedicated dollars for Saskatchewan Aids to Independent Living in order to maintain benefits for those with long-term disabilities or illnesses.

Saskatchewan’s Steady Growth budget also includes an increase in the monthly income threshold in the Personal Care Home Benefit – from $1,875 to $1,950 – effective July 2014. This supplement subsidizes the difference between a senior’s total monthly income and the cost of living in a personal care home. Approximately 800 seniors access this benefit each month.

Increased spending also assists adults with disabilities prepare for, secure and maintain employment and includes a 14% increase in dollars for communitybased organizations that provide residential spaces and programs for people with intellectual disabilities. The Ministry of Social Services supports 4,300 people with intellectual disabilities around the province.

Our seniors also deserve quality care. To that end, this budget invests in longterm care, home care, acute care, prescription drugs and other services. This budget funds the continued construction of five long-term care facilities, an innovative home care support pilot project and continued improvements to services in long-term care facilities as part of the Urgent Issues Action Fund. Our commitment to seniors also includes a new house call pilot program to provide intensive home care supports to those with complex health issues as well as dollars to plan the replacement of long-term care facilities in Regina Qu’Appelle

To further the work already being done to improve quality of life for people with disabilities, the province is developing a comprehensive disability strategy, led by a 15-member Citizen Consultation Team. Meetings with the public, disability community, government, CBOs, municipalities, school divisions and health authorities will begin in the spring of 2014.

We believe that this work, along with our continued investments, brings us much closer to the goal of making Saskatchewan the best place in Canada for everyone to live, work and play.

“Local Artist Turns Teacher”

ecently I had a wonderful opportunity to meet Kevin Hastings a local graphite artist. I expressed what our community was striving for; unique arts program, something that will offer diversity and suit the local families. He was positively honored to be asked! Straightaway we set to work and created a unique “Discovery Art Class”. This is new for our community and new for him to teach. He was able to create a positive and welcoming space in which students could be interactive and mentored. They had the opportunity exploring their creative side, expressing themselves, socializing and developing friendships. The first lesson dealt with choosing the right reference photo, deciding how it needs to be laid out and when to use the proper tools and when and where to use drawing utensils. After that the classes were about refining techniques and as they delved further in it, it was more and more about one-on-one instruction to help each student find the right blend of techniques to achieve a drawing they would be proud of. The sessions ended with an open-house celebration of an Art Showing held in the Vanscoy school gym where our new local artists displayed their art work proudly. (A special thanks goes out to the Vanscoy School for providing the facility, and Collector’s Choice for the use of the display units, as well as 20% off gift certificates for each of the students if they wished to get something framed.)

The response, participation and outcome was very positive. We appreciated Kevin’s encouragement and are hopeful that everyone will find their inner-artist.

The following is an excerpt from a recent conversation I had with Kevin.

Q/ What did you think of teaching? Would you do it again?

A/ I enjoyed teaching this group of students as it forced me to be more conscious of how I create art as so much of what I do has become intuitive. I would certainly do it again, but class time needs to be longer with a little more communication before class starts to ensure the proper reference photos were chosen. I would really love to do a charcoal class in the future as well.

Q/ Why choose Vanscoy as a place to settle down and work?

A/ I chose Vanscoy because I love small town life and have fond memories of the area as I grew up in Delisle. I would also like to facilitate more art within the community like an art fair potentially during future Vanscoy Fair days.

Q/ Who inspired/inspires you?

A/ Some of my biggest inspirations are Dirk Dzirmirsky, Kelvin Okafor, and JD Hillberry for their awe inspiring realism in the medium of charcoal and pencil.

Q/ When did you start?

A/ I drew from a very young age and started to do it professionally just over 5 years ago.

Modular & Manufactured homes from 864 sf to 2400 sf New Show Homes Now in Stock

Q/ How has your work developed throughout the years?

How has your practice changed over time?

A/ My work developed as I started to be more and more conscious of picking really amazing reference photos to

work from and then making sure the background, foreground and all the elements worked together to enhance the total composition. I am constantly adding new tools and techniques and blending different techniques and elements to continually improve. One of the biggest changes was when a little over 2 years ago I started to work with charcoal and found that I absolutely love the medium.

Q/ Which of your artwork pieces is your favourite?

A/ With wildlife I would say Peekaboo (the baby chimpanzee) or Into the Light (the baby elephant), sports, would be Peyton Manning or the one I am working on right now, a new one of Darian Durant, Musicians would be my first one of Bob Marley or my most recent Waylon Jennings.

Q/ What memorable responses have you had to your work?

A/ I frequently am told I need to make more mistakes so you can tell they are drawings and not just photos. I love hearing that.

Q/ What advice do you have for aspiring artists? What message would you like your students to hear from you?

A/ Do not let anyone else decide what or how you draw.

Creativity is something that bubbles under the surface needed to make it out on the page. It is an itch that can only be scratched by following your own path, your own heart, your own intuition.

Q/ What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?

A/ Don’t let the fear in your head drown out the leadings of your heart.

At a very young age Kevin was interested in art and found that pencil and paper was his preferred method of expression. Eventually under the guidance and encouragement of Kevin’s friends, and artistic coach he entered in art completions where he placed in the finals and won awards and today Kevin continues to live his dream.
