RM Review

www.rmreview.net

hen Saskatchewan wants a Wall, we elect one. When the Americans want a wall, they hire Donald Trump to build that wall: and can you guess who’s going to pay for it ? That’s right... Mexico.

We all learnt about the American revolution in history class years ago, but now we can watch, live on TV, the second American revolution... and I wonder what it is finally going look like...

Will they all ‘feel the burn’ and go with Bernie Sanders the “Socialist” who wants to see education and health care provided to every one of his fellow citizens in the greatest nation on earth (what sort of a madman is this guy ?)...

Maybe they will make us all feel an even nastier burn when they fly to close to the sun and elect Donald Trump who exploits the raw, ugly, arrogant, racist underbelly of Americans, (not that we’re perfect ourselves) and promotes it as the way to make themselves great, again, freaking out every other government on the planet in the process.

Perhaps they are just gonna pass on the whole revolution idea and slap another Clinton behind the desk in the Oval Office (hey, don’t read any Bill Clinton sexual relations joke into that). No way they elect Ted Cruz.

So Hilary can just continue climbing out of a financial crisis, improving individual rights and opportunities at home and around the world, tearing down walls, as they have been doing for decades, in spite of themselves ?

This would seem to be the rational path, and similar to the one we took in our recent provincial election, but we are certainly in for some fun fall tv.

Boldis Family Donates Redwings Jersey Signed

by Gordie Howe to the Asquith Arena

C

huck Boldis of Asquith, along with his wife Shannon, daughters Aelia and Haelynn, son Ares, and is mother Diana, who is a niece of hockey legend Gordie Howe, wanted to help raise money for the Asquith Arena, where their son Ares now plays hockey.

Diana contacted Gordie Howe’s family to see if Gordie would want to autograph a jersey that they would then donate to the arena, to be raffled off in a fundraiser. Gordie did not hesitate to help out. The only thing Howe’s family asked for in return was a thank you video from the Boldis’s, that they could show to Gordie.

Gordie sent out the jersey and the Boldis kids produced a video.

Chuck is having the jersey professionally framed and the Asquith arena committee is in the process of obtaining the lottery license for the raffle that they expect to be running this fall when hockey season gets started.

Winning or Losing

he chaos in Brussels has put the whole ISIS situation on a different level. What was mainly a Middle East confrontation with a little nuisance from misguided terrorists in the Western World to a full scale confrontation with the upstart extremists around the world.

The response that the Western nations make will determine who wins this war.

The attacks in Belgium and based in Belgium but carried out elsewhere have shown how difficult it is to battle dedicated underground forces, particularly when death is not a consideration for either the perpetrators or the target populations. The result so far has clearly been a success for the terrorists who reached their objectives. What is more, the very structure of the European government is at risk as governments panic in their efforts to protect their citizens.

Score one for the terrorists.

C.M. (Red) Williams

Outside of Europe there seems to be a better record of seeking out and controlling potential terrorists, however one is suspicious that success is partly because it is more difficult geographically to attack North America. We seem to have the organization in place to forestall any home-grown terrorists but we are woefully short of manpower to track every potential Islamic extremist.

Just one attack in the US or Canada on the scale of the ones in Brussels or Paris would soon put a more urgent response in our anti-terrorism agenda. It is not all clear that we are winning internationally against a rag-tag force in the Middle East even though there are successes on the ground.

Opinions expressed here are exclusively those of the author.

With Spring here, the Town office would like to bring to the attention of all dog owners how important it is to be responsible pet owners and good neighbors. Please pick up all dog feces that may have been deposited in your yard over the winter months. As well, when walking your dogs do not let them go onto others’ properties to defecate or relieve themselves. Always carry bags in which to pick up and carry the "deposit" so your neighbors do not have to do so. Pet ownership is a privilege; it is not something that your neighbors have to share in.

Happy Spring!!

pring has come and with the changing season comes some personnel changes within the RM. Denise Ward has left the RM after many years of service. She has seen a lot of changes in the last year and decided she needed to move on as well. Her experience and level of professionalism will be dearly missed.

We have hired Heather Fantie McBain to fill the role.

Due to inconsistencies council did not renew the contract with Robert Weir as the dump manager at Pike Lake. Marg has agreed to manage both dumps within the RM. The normal hours of operation will resume April 1st, we hope. The times will be posted.

Marg has encountered a bit of resistance to some patrons of the dump. I know that in the past people have said the "gene pool" in the area has been rather small. That may be the case but if you can drive to the dump ,you can read, you can see the various dump bins and you can be polite. She is an employee of

RM Review

the RM and deserves the respect any employee of any company should get. Individuals who behave in this manner just make the rest of us look bad.

The tag and permit fees are to be honoured.

The patrons outside of the RM are not ratepayers and therefore are required to pay dump fees. These include the people in RM of Montrose, Pike Lake Provincial Park and the people of Saskatoon who are using the dump.

She needs your name so she can give out a receipt so YOU know the money is not just going into her pocket.

Council has decided to cancel the annual Spring Ratepayers Dinner due to the recent unusually large volume of staff changes.

Road bans are in place and Constable McCracken is out enforcing the weights. Please help to protect our roads but if you do need an exemption contact the office and maybe an arrangement can be made between Scott and Constable McCracken.

The crew will be out maintaining the roads soon but if you encounter a problem please contact the office so they can address it.

CHIEF’S CORNER

his month I would like to talk about several traffic issues which could affect motorists traveling within the Rural Municipality of Vanscoy, and the related traffic laws which apply to each of these situations. The topics, which I am going to touch upon, this month are either current issues affecting motor traffic within our municipality, or are related to common questions that I am frequently asked about in relation to traffic laws and traffic safety concerns.

The first issue is one which is foremost in many of our ratepayers’ minds right now, and that is Spring Road Bans. These road bans went into effect for several designated roads in the RM of Vanscoy last week, and although we haven’t officially reached spring yet, on some days the weather has felt that way. The associated roads which are affected by the weather and have road bans enacted think so too, and as a result of the soft wet conditions these roads aren’t able to withstand heavy loads traveling on them right now.

The primary and secondary winter weights have come off all of the roads within the RM of Vanscoy now and all roads, even the ones that are not posted with road ban designations, are affected in some manner. The more affected roads, the ones that have been designated by the RM of Vanscoy Reeve and Council, have been marked with the large Pennco portable signs, and/or the Municipality’s own temporary signage.

These are the roads which have been designated as ones which are at greatest risk of damage by over weight vehicle travel at this time of year. These are what are referred to as ‘Road Bans’.

Now that we all understand what a road ban is, and have been designated with road ban weight restrictions, within the RM of Vanscoy, what is the designated weight for travel on these roads? As the signs clearly point out vehicles traveling on these roads can-

not exceed 10,000 lbs (4500 kg) in total vehicle weight.

This includes vehicle contents, and trailer weight as the case may be. The applicable roads designated under the present ‘Road Bans’, in the RM of Vanscoy, are as follows:

SPRING ROAD BANS • Knight Road (Range Rd 3072) from Township (Twp) Rd 364 to Highway 7 • Livestock Sales Rd (Range Rd 3071) from Twp Rd 370 to Twp Rd 364 • Range Rd 3073 from Twp Rd 352 to Twp Rd 350 • Range Rd 3075 from Highway 14 to Hwy 7 • Twp Rd 343 to Range Rd 3100 to Range Rd 3093 The RM of Vanscoy asks all motorists traveling within the RM to be cognizant of their vehicle weights and to please abide by the temporary seasonal road bans and secondary weight restrictions which are in affect.

The second matter, that often presents itself within my policing duties, and one which I am continually surprised by, is the lack of knowledge by some motorists of the speed limits on the RM Township and Range Roads. Unless, otherwise posted the legal speed on any rural municipal road, those outside of a Town, Hamlet, or Village is 80km. If you are driving on a rural gravel road anywhere within the Province I would suggest this rule applies. It also applies to some hard top (paved) roads, which are not posted, meaning there is no associated speed limit signs located along that roadway.

In the RM of Vanscoy most, if not all of our roads that are paved are ‘posted. (ie; they are marked with speed limit signs). There are several paved roads within the RM that come to mind; the Vanscoy to Pike Lake paved

Vehicles Entered in Grandora March 23 several reports were received of vehicles being entered in the Grandora District. Vehicles had been left unlocked, no damage, nothing of value taken.

Break & Enter at the Asquith General Store March 27, at 7:13 am call received that the Asquith General Store had been broken into overnight. Chips and lighters taken. Matter under investigation.

Grandora Truck Stolen March 27 at 10:00 am call received of a 2004 white Ford F150 taken from a residence overnight in the Grandora area.

Theft from Vehicle in Grandora March 28th at 6:50 pm a vehicle was entered during the night in the Grandora area. Sunglasses and gloves were stolen from the vehicle.

If you have information regarding this or any other crime, please contact Warman/Martensville RCMP at 306-9751670/306-975-1610 or if you have information and you wish to remain anonymous in your reporting, please contact Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-TIPS (8477), submit a tip via their website: http://saskcrimestoppers.com/ or text in a tip: TIP206 + your tip to CRIMES (274637).

By Sgt. Murray McCracken RM of Vanscoy Police Chief roadway, Township Road 352 is a common one, so to is the Grandora to Vanscoy Range Rd 3075 section of pavement (between highways 14 and 7), the Asquith to Delisle paved Township Road 3093 is another one, as is the 11th street extension, Township road 364, which is a paved roadway that runs west from Saskatoon parallel to highway 14.

All of these noted paved municipal roads are posted with speed limit signs within the RM of Vanscoy. However, the speed limit misconception still frequently occurs when I am discussing the speed limit with a motorist who was using one of these roads. The speed limit on these roads is posted at 80km. If, you happen to not see the posted speed limit signs while driving on these roads, and are uncertain to that allowed speed limit, I suggest you refer back to my earlier comment about speed limits on rural Municipal Roads, the ones that are not posted, where I mentioned the speed limit is always 80km. If you stick with that rule you aren’t likely to see flashing red lights behind you.

Finally, did you know that it is illegal to smoke tobacco products inside a motor vehicle, while it is being operated on a public highway in Saskatchewan while there are children under the age of sixteen inside the vehicle? Well it is, and it is also a very serious health concern which is the main reason why the Federal Government, in conjunction with each Province and Territory in Canada, has enacted a similar type of traffic safety legislation. In Saskatchewan this law came into effect on October, 1, 2010.

Until next month I ask you to please drive safely and continue to adhere to the rules of the road, especially, those traffic laws which protect the health of our roads, as well as the persons that are occupying your vehicle.

SCHOOL REPORTS

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL

By the time you read this bit of news from our school, we will be starting our final leg of the academic school year! The generosity of the families in our school and community just keeps staying strong as is evident in the support of our recent Scholastic Monster Book Fair!

The book fair accumulated $1500.00 in sales which resulted in over $750.00 worth of Scholastic books for our school library! Wow! It is so wonderful to see the big smiles on the students’ faces when they get to choose and own a book of their own! Supporting this book fair also reinforces literacy in a big way! Thanks to everyone who supported our annual fundraiser for our library!

Now that the book fair is completed, we have begun with the renovations and renewing of our library space.

The plans will be minimal in cost but expansive in the appeal and usage of the reading resources we have available to the students and teachers alike. Watch for updates as we progress through the transition!

In March, our leprechaun friendly traps were set, with the hopes of being able to chat with a good luck fellow and possibly having him share some of his gold! To our surprise, on St. Patrick’s Day morning, we discovered the Kindergarten room was closed and we could hear Irish tunes being played beyond the locked door! Once we were able to get in the room, we were amazed that the traps were empty and there was total disorder and chaos in the room! The tricky and elusive imps left behind a mess, but they also left us some treasures and even made wonderful cupcakes for everyone in the school! Thanks to Mrs. Robertson and her helpful Kindergarten students for once again trying to catch the sprites and their gold! Maybe next year we will be lucky!

One dreary morning in March, we boogied our morning away to the original tunes sung by local artist, Sylvia Chave! Singing with Sylvia concerts are always such a fun and energetic time and this was no exception! For those who experienced her singing and entertaining abilities for the first time here, were amazed at her talents! If you missed this opportunity, there is still a chance to get in on her “A-May-Zing Fling” at the Refinery. You can get tickets online at www.ontheboards.ca or by calling 306-653-5191! We know you won’t be disappointed at all and will come out smiling as big the sun!

Progress reports were handed out and interviews took place just prior to the Easter break! We would like to thank all the parents for taking the time to speak with their child’s teacher about the successes of their children. When a parent attends an interview, the child understands that their parents are interested in his/her learning, in their school experience and that it is valued. Interviews are always highly regarded as a great opportunity for parents, teachers and students to continue to work as a team!

We hope everyone had a wonderful break at Easter and have returned refreshed and renewed – just like the promise of spring!

Here is a list of upcoming events for our school: April 4 – Classes return April 6 – Grade 3/4 visits Gardenscape April 11 – SCC Spring Meeting April 14 – Broadway Theatre Performance April 21 – Earth Day Activities - Morning Snack provided April 25 – NO SCHOOL Prep day

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL

DELISLE ELEMENTARY

Here we are, more than halfway through March...time seems to keep ticking faster and faster! March was a month of parties for the preschool. We celebrated St. Patrick's Day with green snacks, crafts, and clothing, as well as some shamrock and green balloon games.

Our Easter party will be a lot of fun since the 3's and 4's will be celebrating together. Hopefully the Easter Bunny makes an appearance (or at least leaves some candy for the kids).

The 4-year olds explored a theme about transportation.

They made trains, hot air balloons, and their favourite, boats. They made their boats using a variety of craft materials then we put them in water to see if they would float. The students did a great job of choosing the right materials because all of the boats floated!

Both classes learned about the number 7 through crafts, games, and snacks. The 3's made a flower with 7 petals (perfect for the weather we've enjoyed this month) and the 4's got some scissors practice cutting out a 7 and gluing on 7 items. The 4's will also learn about spring next week, and hopefully the weather cooperates!

I am writing this before the Easter break so as of now, I don't know what April will bring besides our regular number and colour days. Some options include the 5 senses, habitats, or science experiments. I will let you know next month what we did.

Happy Easter and let's hope that spring is truly here!

We had many exciting things happen this month.

We had a great hot meal on March 16. The theme was beach day. Also, the grade 5 and 6 students got to go to We Day on March 2. The Delisle community held yet another successful Mardi Gras. On March 3, all of the grade 6 students went to Table Mountain on a ski trip. They had lots of fun.

On March 18, our band students were very lucky to go to Regina for a big band concert and they were amazing. The students that went from our school were Timi M, Tori T, Samantha A and Kate W. On March 23 we have our parent-teacher conferences.

On April 7, we will be lucky to have author, Carey Rigby-Wilcox visiting us to tell us about her books and paintings.

Just a little reminder about spring pictures on April 19 – remember to dress up!

Community Members Share Their Skills and Experiences on School Community Councils

he School Community Council (SCC) is a primary link between the home, community and school.

Prairie Spirit believes that involvement with School Community Councils is a rewarding and meaningful activity for parent and community members.

The purpose of School Community Councils is to: • Support student learning success and well-being; and, • Encourage parent and community involvement and engagement in the school.

School Community Councils provide mechanisms for parents and community members to support and influence the work of the school and to channel advice to the Board of Education and others. The focus of the SCC is student learning and well-being. The challenge for the SCC is to engage the parents and community with the school in a meaningful partnership that supports their shared responsibility.

As a Council member you might expect to...

• Attend meetings from September to June as determined by the Council calendar; • Engage in the work of the Council such as: o Supporting and advising the development of the Learning Improvement Plan with the staff of the school; o Developing, leading and taking action on Council initiatives to help families support their children’s learning; o Providing advice to the school, Board of Education and other community organizations and agencies, as outlined in Board of Education policy; o Providing advice for school fundraising activities, school fees and the student code of conduct; o Reporting to parents and community on Council progress; and, o Working with other Council members to learn more about the role of the Council and how to fulfill its responsibilities.

School Community Council responsibilities Councils are accountable to their community. Responsibilities of the Council include: • Understanding their community; • Supporting parent and community involvement in the school; • Advising the Board and school as outlined in the Board of Education School Community Council Policy; • Working with the School to develop, support and provide advice to the Learning Improvement Plan; • Helping parents find ways to support their children’s learning; • Reviewing extra-curricular school activities approved by the principal and Student Council members; • Advising and approving fundraising activities in the school; and • Reviewing student fees to ensure alignment with Board of Education directions.

In order to run for election to your local SCC, you must ive in the school attendance area or be a parent of a student in the school. Contact your school’s principal or Prairie Sprit School Division for more details.

Council member responsibilities Your role as a Council member is to build shared responsibility among parents, the community and school for student learning and well-being. In addition, your role is to lead parent and community involvement in school planning and improvement.

The term of office for Representative Parent and Community Members is two (2) years with no limit on the number of consecutive terms that may be served.

AGRICULTURE REPORTS Rainwater Sustainable Alternative to Drilling Wells and Hauling Water Local company says Canadians can Conserve Water and Save Money

CRAIK, SK — On World Water Day, Saskatchewan-based Clean Flo Water Technologies is encouraging Canadians to conserve water and save money by harvesting rainwater.

“Tomorrow is World Water Day – a day designated by the United Nations to focus attention on the importance of freshwater and the need for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. Rainwater can replace or supplement conventional treated municipal water or well water,” said Ben Morrison, a Water Resources Engineering Technologist with the company.

“Rainwater is a renewable, sustainable, high quality and free water source available to anyone and can be harvested and stored for a variety of uses in residential, commercial and agricultural settings.”

Filtered rainwater can be used for outdoor irriga-

tion, indoor laundry and toilet flushing, and finally drinking and cooking.

Clean Flo provides its customers with effective rainwater management and conservation solutions from sophisticated rain barrels to whole home systems, which can integrate into a new build or be retrofitted.

Jenine Demyen had a whole home rainwater harvesting system installed at her farm east of Craven, SK last summer.

“We were building and needed to put in all services. All the wells in the area were dug to at least 400 feet and neighbours had told us the quality wasn’t great,” Demyen said. “It just made sense to harvest rainwater from the roof to use throughout our house and yard.”

Demyen says the whole home system cost approximately $20,000 less than it would have cost to have a well dug and that the system will eventually pay for itself.

Certified

Organic Beef Halves, Quarters, Custom Packages Samples Available Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

“I pay for filters, but that cost is less than a standard monthly water bill.

Plus, you don’t actually realize how great it tastes until you drink other water.”

Despite low precipitation levels this winter in Saskatchewan, the Demyen’s rainwater harvesting system provided the family with enough water to fulfill all of its needs – including their chickens and other pets.

“We take pride in managing all water needs from conception to installation and supplying complete professionally custom-designed systems and engineered designs that meet all building codes,” Morrison said. “We’re excited about the potential of rainwater harvesting when it comes to conserving water – our most precious resource.”

armers are faced daily with making many decisions about their farming operation. Farmers don’t always have accurate information available to them at the time of decision, nor can they predict with 100 per cent accuracy, factors that can affect the decision. The uncertainty of the outcome is known as risk.

Risk can be mitigated by having a risk management strategy.

Risk management is the process of identifying, evaluating and understanding risk in a way that helps a person achieve the goals of their operation. It is designed to reduce or eliminate the risk of certain kinds of events from happening or having an undesirable impact.

The first step in the risk management process is to assess one’s personal tolerance of risk. Different individuals have different levels of tolerance when dealing with risk. One can be risk adverse, risk neutral or a risk taker. Farm managers make better decisions when they recognize their attitudes towards risk and take them into account when choosing actions. The

of one to ten based on how well the operation is prepared to manage the risk.

The results of the table can now be plotted in a matrix. Each risk can be plotted on the matrix based on the degree of risk and the level of preparedness. The matrix will indicate which risks are low risks with a high level of preparedness, which risks are low risks with a low level of preparedness, which risks are high risks with a high level of preparedness and which risks are high risks with a low level of preparedness.

The matrix will help to determine which risks need more or immediate attention, which risks are minimal and are well prepared for and where improvements can be made.

Now that you have identified, assessed and prioritized the risks facing the operation; you can begin to determine how to mitigate the risks.

next steps are the identification, assessment and prioritization of risks.

Begin by identifying risks in your operation that need to be managed.

There are many different types of risks a farming operation can be exposed to. Next, assess the risks that have been identified.

An assessment should be made on the frequency and magnitude of the risk. How often do you have to manage these types of risk and how severe are the potential consequences if not properly managed. Risks then need to be prioritized.

When prioritizing risk, one thing to consider is how prepared the operation is to manage the risk.

One method of assessing and prioritizing risk is to create a table and rate each risk based on frequency, magnitude and preparedness. Each risk would be assigned a value on a scale of one to five for frequency and magnitude.

Once frequency and magnitude values have been assigned, calculate the degree of risk for each identified risk. The degree of risk is calculated as frequency plus magnitude.

The next steps is to assign a value for preparedness; rate each risk on a scale

MP REPORT

Kelly Block, MP

A

s I reflect upon our Easter celebrations this past weekend I am reminded that so many around the world do not have the basic human right of worshipping as they choose free from persecution.

In the last Parliament, our Conservative Government created the Office of Religious Freedom within Canada's department of Foreign Affairs.

Due to the Liberal’s lack of support, its work ended as it was scheduled to sunset yesterday.

In an attempt to pressure the Liberals to support the continuation of this Office, we proposed the following Conservative motion which was debated on March 21.

That the House (a) recognize the good work being done by Canada’s Office of Religious Freedom, in particular its work within the Department of Global Affairs to build the Department's capacity to address threats to religious freedom, and to directly promote peace, freedom, tolerance, and communal harmony; and, as a consequence, (b) call on the government to renew the current mandate of the Office, since the continuation of its vital work is needed now more than ever.

Sadly, the Liberals voted against this motion.

The Office of Religious Freedom punched above its weight. Most of its resources

S

April 1, 2016 went directly to supporting programs in troubled regions of the world.

In addition, the Office also helped Canadian public servants understand the important role that religion occupies in many international conflicts.

When it comes to religious persecution, the numbers are staggering. Christians face more persecution today than they did during the period of the early church. Sikhs and Hindus in places like Afghanistan face significant persecution, which has led to a dramatic decline in their populations. Uyghur Muslims in China and Tatar Muslims in Russia are under increasing pressure and many human rights groups have recognized that what is happening to Yazidis, Christians and other minorities in Syria and Iraq is nothing short of genocide.

This Office was modest in scope with a budget of $5 million. I would think that in a high-spending budget like the one the Liberals introduced on March 22 they could find this comparatively small amount to continue the Office’s great work.

I have posted on my website (www.kellyblockmp.ca) a petition to the House of Commons to support the Office of Religious Freedom. I would encourage you to print a copy of the petition, get your friends and family to sign it and send it to me (Kelly Block MP House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6).

COMMUNITY REPORTS

Delisle Public Library Rejuvenation

T

he Delisle Branch of Wheatland Regional Library has announced a Library Rejuvenation Project. We will be making upgrades to reflect changes in li-

brary usage, both current and future while maintaining traditional uses.

This project is made possible by a $10,000 donation from Agrium and $2,500 from Crops For

Community.

Some of the major improvements include refurbishing the children’s area to include new shelving, seating and display boards and also to facilitate existing programs and make them more appealing, along with a fresh coat of paint.

They have already redesigned the circulation desk area for more efficiency and patron usage.

They are also creating an area which will have WiFi service for workshops, meetings and other programs.

The project should be complete by November.

The substantial donations make this possible and Library also thanks the Town of Delisle for their continuous financial support and provision of the library space.
