EDITORIAL Holy crap.... I can’t believe I am making another December issue already. The past year has gone by way faster than the previous ones. Again I have not gotten everything done that I wanted and now I am also faced with getting my Christmas shopping done in the next few weeks. Normally this can be a tremendous chore that I often find myself doing the day before Christmas. Not unlike how I am writing this editorial about one hour before this issue goes to print !! But this year I have found an easy way out which I will share with you.

I would like to give a ‘hats off’ to the people that cleaned the recent snow from the Village of Vanscoy. They did an awesome job. Thank you snow removal people !! Mary

SCHOOL REPORTS

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL Here we are at the beginning of December! This first part of preschool has just flown by. The students have improved so much in just this short period of time. The 3-year olds are doing a great job with their listening skills, following routine, and learning to play together. The 4-year olds have improved so much with printing their names. I think at this time, there are only 2 or 3 who still need to use their name plate; the others can print their name from memory! November has been a good month at preschool. We had pictures taken by McMaster's Photography and the day went really well. Rose can coax a smile from anyone! That same day, we also started making crafts to sell at the craft sale in Pike Lake on December 7th at the hall. We started practicing for our Christmas concert and both groups are doing well with that. They both also spent a day learning about the number 3, with the 3year olds braiding pipe cleaners together to make bracelets and the 4-year olds drawing 3 3's and gluing items on them. We celebrated the colour brown making porcupines and beaver masks. There was lots of brown clothing to see and lots of brown snacks to enjoy! We will end the month with our annual Pajama Day.

The 4-year olds started a health unit in November, learning about germs, how to take care of their teeth, and which foods are healthy. We will finish that up in December talking about emotions. In December we will celebrate the colour red and the number 4. The 4-year olds will also finish up our health unit, learn about opposites, and spend a day talking about Christmas. We will once again be joining Pike Lake School for their Christmas concert on the morning of Wednesday, December 17th and having our own Christmas Party on the morning of Thursday, December 18th. I would like to extend a special thank you to Pike Lake School for all they do for our preschool, from sharing their outdoor toys to bringing over Scholastic packages to inviting us to join in on special days like the Halloween Party or Christmas Concert. Thank you from all of us at Pike Lake Preschool! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season and a very Happy New Year! 3-year old days: 4, 11, 17(Xmas concert), 18 4-year old days: 2, 4, 9, 11, 16, 17(Xmas concert), 18(Xmas party in the morning) Colour: red Number: 4

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL Parent-teachers were recently held at Pike Lake School. Thank you to our staff and students for their efforts as well as our parents for their tremendous support.

portunity to extend a special thank you to our School Community Council and to everyone for their support of the council fundraisers. Recently, our council passed motions to help support the development of an outdoor classroom, initiate a “One Book, One School” reading program to kick off the 2015 school year, and to purchase a new Smart Board for our Grade One/Two classroom. That’s fantastic! Also, a big thank you goes out to all of the parents who will be donating their time for our Hot Meal program and items for the Christmas Gift Basket. The funds raised from the Christmas Gift Basket will go directly towards our new outdoor classroom. The volunteerism and generosity in our community is amazing and it helps to make Pike Lake School the great place that it is. The snow and cold means it is a sign that Christmas is quickly approaching! Indeed the students at Pike Lake School are getting excited about our upcoming Christmas concert production entitled, “A Bear-y Merry Holiday.” This year’s concert will be performed by the Pike Lake Students on Thursday, December 18th at 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Please mark this date and these times on your calendar so as not to miss this school tradition for one and all. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Joyous New Year!

Our school has been focussing on many components of literacy including ‘Wise, Active Reading”. What is a wise, active reader? A wise, active reader is a person of any age who gets into a book and enjoys it! Wise, Active readers can be found everywhere!

VANSCOY SCHOOL The month of November has been a busy one at Vanscoy School. Students have been participating in a number of events such as attending WE Day in Saskatoon, raising money for the UNICEF campaign, collecting donations for the Remembrance Day Poppy Campaign as well as getting ready for the up-coming Christmas season. We have wrapped up our UNICEF campaign for 2014. Students emptied their piggybanks, canvassed Vanscoy and brought in personal donations. The Grade 6 student leaders of the schoolwide UNICEF campaign were Marc Tim, Sam Thompson, Jade Jimmy, Daylin Deitsch, Brady Irvine, Abby Orth, Jordyn Milnes, Talisa Gibbard, and Emma Robert. They organized popcorn and hot chocolate sales. The Grade 1 class sold lemonade raising $83.00. The Grade 4 class baked and sold cookies raising $183.15. The Grade 7 / 8 class created a Halloween Haunted House that raised $162.50. As a result of the campaign we raised our highest total ever, $1,429.00! Thanks to our students, their families, school staff and the community for their efforts. Funds collected will go towards supporting children in areas such as West Africa, Haiti, Syria and Pakistan. The money will help to pay for school supplies, bikes, tents, clean water and health care needs. The school Remembrance Day service was meaningful and well attended. Students performed well and honoured guests assisted us with the Colour Parade and speeches. Poppy sales totaling $325 was raised and will be sent to the Royal Canadian Legion at Delisle. Thank you all. Staff at Vanscoy School have an oppor-

tunity to participate for the Dress Down for Diabetes campaign. Staff participating have been paying $5 each to dressdown on Fridays in November. Our school and Vanscoy Village are seeking local sponsors for the Disc Golf playing field that will be installed during the spring of 2015. Location will be on the Village and school grounds. For a $500 donation (or more), sponsors will see their business advertised at one of the holes. If you would like to be a part of this great joint endeavor or have questions, please call Mr. Derdall, school principal at 306-668-2056. During the month of December, there will be a number of activities and events at the school. The School Christmas Concert: Grades K-5 and the Glee Club will have two performances on Tuesday December 16 at 9:30 and the second performance at 7:00pm. On Thursday December 18th the Glee Club will be going on tour and will perform at the Lawson Mall at 11:30am. Student Secret Santa, which takes place on Friday, December 12 involves students purchasing Christmas gifts secretly for their family during school time in our library store. The purchases are even wrapped at the school (no peeking). The parents just need to send a bit of money and a shopping list with their child. Younger grades have ‘helpers’ to guide them throughout the ‘store’. No parents please. This is all top secret. Most items cost between 50₵ to $10.00. Of course, there is no obligation for your child to participate. We appreciate the time and effort that our Room Parents put into running this program – it is a lot of work. They are great volunteers!! Thank you!

Songs of the Season Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say, “Rudolph with your nose so bright Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You’ll go down in history!

Frosty the Snowman Frosty the snowman Was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal; Frosty the snowman, is a fairy tale they say, He was made of snow but the children know How he came to life one day. There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found ‘Cause when they put it on his head He began to dance around Oh, Frosty the snowman Knew the sun was hot that day, So he said, ‘Let’s run and we’ll have some fun Now before I melt away!’ Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, Running here and there all around the square, Saying, ‘Catch me if you can!’ He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop, And he only paused a moment When he heard him holler ‘Stop!’ For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way. But he waved goodbye, saying, ‘Don’t you cry I’ll be back again same day!’ Thumpety thump thump, (2) Look at Frosty go, thumpety thump thump, (2) Over the hills of snow

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could with you “Merry Christmas.” It seems so long since I could say, “Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!” Gosh oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle (thhhh) All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, see my two front teeth. Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish you “Merry Christmas!”

i Saw Mommy kissing Santa claus I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe last night. She didn’t see me creep down the stairs to have a peep; She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep. Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus Underneath his beard so snowy white; Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.

O hear the angels voices! O night, divine! O night, when Christ was born, O night, divine! O night, O night divine!

Angels We have heard on high Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains: And the mountains in reply echoing their joyous strains.

O! You better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout, I’m telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town. Santa Claus is coming to town.

Gentle Mary laid her child lowly in a manger; he is still the undefiled, but no more a stranger. Son of God of humble birth, beautiful the story; praise his name in all the earth; hail the King of glory!

Songs of the Season it came upon a Midnight clear

O little town of Bethlehem

It came upon a midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold “Peace on the earth, good will to men From heav’n’s all gracious King,” The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.

O little town of Bethlehem How still we sell thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight.

Still thro’ the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heav’nly music floats O’re all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov’ring wing, And ever o’er its Babel sound The blessed angels sing.

For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth.

O ye beneath life’s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow; Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; Oh rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing. For lo! the days are hast’ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever circling years Shall come the time foretold, When the new heav’n and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the son Which now the angels sing.

How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is giv’n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav’n. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel!

have yourself a Merry little christmas Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light, From now on, our troubles will be out of sight. Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yuletide gay, From now on, our troubles will be miles away. Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore, Faithful friends who are dear to us, Gather near to us once more. Through the years we all will be together, If the Fates allow, Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

Silver Bells City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style, In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas; Children laughing, People passing, Meeting smile after smile, And on every street corner you hear: Refrain Silver Bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city, Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas Day. Strings of street lights, even stoplights Blink a bright red and green, As the shoppers rush home with their treasures, Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, This is Santa’s big scene, And above all the bustle you hear: Refrain

Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in your tender care, and fit us for heaven, to live with you there.

chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, Help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa's on his way; He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother's child is going to spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly. And so I'm offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although its been said many times, many ways, A very Merry Christmas to you

The Writer’s Corner A g S eRviceS d iviSiOn 306 - 493 - 2408 Thank you to the Students of Delisle Composite School for sharing their creativity As I walk through the forest I see a dim light coming through the trees. As I walk out, I see an old cozy cabin with the porch light on. I wade through the smoothly flowing creek and walk onto the porch. I look in the distance and see the rolling mountain tops with dark brown geese flying overhead. The creek still flows for miles. I walk into the warm cabin and smell a strong fragrance of warm baking and nice gingerbread houses. It smells just like heaven. Then I roll into the bedroom and curl up in a soft old blanket that smells like pizza. I doze off and dream of Christmas. When I wake up the sun is just rising and I feel refreshed and go outside on a journey somewhere else.

After a busy day of preparing for Christmas, Kitty curled up in the living room, by the tree, in the armchair with her Teddy Bear. As she dozes off to sleep, Kitty and Teddy dream about all the things they want for Christmas. Kitty dreams about toy mice, fish and yarn. Teddy dreams about honey, gingerbread and pears. Together they dream about candy, bells, candy canes, and trumpets. As they slowly begin to wake up they are filled with warmth and cheer. When they wake curled up together beside the glowing Christmas tree they believe their wishes will come true.

By Connor J. By Meagan

Five ducks of many colours in the green to yellow grassed nest, with holly hidden behind. Bright orange feet and bright yellow beaks, quiet as can be. Sitting, laying, standing, watching for the next move. Beautiful bleach white collars around their necks make them look as if they are ready for a ball. Colours of dark brown fills the chest and back of the mallards. The beautiful true green heads make their glossy brown and black eyes stand out wonderfully. A cream colour of feathers goes in a circle around their bodies. Little specks of sparkly snowflakes fall on their backs making their feathers shine even more brightly.

Down in the lane, dozens of sheep walking towards them. The man and his dog leading the sheep from the back. All the trees leaves have turned and fallen. The sunsets with a glowing orange. The first snow has fallen. But he laid cold in his room at his auntie’s house. He couldn’t sleep. He was excited for tomorrow. It was Christmas. He starts to wonder if Santa Claus would ever come. He looked out the window, and there he saw a man bearing a Christmas tree and toy bag. He had seen the fluffy white beard and red suit. It was Santa. By Oakley

He stood alone outside, beside the brown, empty wooden bird house. Soft, crystal-like snowflakes fell on the snowman’s brown, leather top hat. His light brown, red polka dot sewn scarf, had fluffy white flakes covering it. A brown little bird landed on his hand, and he wasn’t alone anymore. Bright yellow stars floated in the sky, as snow continued to fall. A red and green stocking hung from his other hand, and filled with snow. His carrot nose, and his button belly, covered with snow, started to freeze. That’s when he realized, that he was a snowman.

The little girls cried in joy as she saw the blanket of snow covering the ground. She ran around the house throwing some odds and ends into a bag. The girl quickly pulled on her snow gear, her woollen cap and gloves, and finally her pink boots with the fluffy white fur inside. She slung the bag over her shoulder, almost falling over from the weight. Heading outside her feet sinking into the blindingly white snow. It was still early so no one else was out on her street. A light snowfall had started. The little girl decided to make a snowman. First she rolled the big ball straining against the weight. Then she rolled a middle sized ball. She gasped and ground trying to get it on top of the bottom ball. Finally with one last push the snowballs settled. Finishing the last ball and throwing it up, she grabbed the bag and dumped her collection out. There was a red hat, a handful of buttons, and a lopsided carrot. She moved around the snowman quickly and threw her ingredients on the man of snow. Stepping back to view her work she sighed in satisfaction, picked up her empty bag and headed inside to the smell of a warm breakfast.

The Writer’s Corner t RAnSPORt d iviSiOn 306 - 493 - 2408 Thank you to the Students of Delisle Composite School for sharing their creativity I could feel the wind against me while riding in the carriage. My favorite horse Ralph was running really fast. I was on my way back to my grandmas for lunch. I arrived at my grandmas, walked inside and smelled the fresh chili. My grandma made the best meals. I was there because my parents were away. It was Christmas eve and there were presents for me under the tree. I slowly walked over and peeked through one of them. I sat in the hot cozy couch in the living room with my burning cup of coffee. The tree was all decorated with lights all around it. There were presents wrapped up on a plaid red and black blanket. I could feel the heat from the red hot fire. I could smell the coffee rising to my nose. I had Christmas music playing very loudly. I just saw all the beautiful red and black decorations. I was very pleased. By Brant

I pick my feet up and stand tall. I take my father’s hand and we step onto the ice. He’s a bit wobbly at first and we almost tumble over. Children laugh as they pass us by and my cheeks grow warm. He tells me to go have fun. I have many skating skills and I want to try them out. I kick off and race around the ice. I glide across the ice and I feel at home. This is my natural habitat. The building lights up the park so bright that I forget the sun has already gone down. The horse carriage passes by with a happy couple. I turn around to see my father smiling brightly at me. This is a perfect Christmas already.

The green pine tree stood proudly in the Yuzik family living room. Its thick branches popping out of the trunk full of green bitter smelling needles that covered the tree and the floor around it. Red garland wrapped around the tree, hanging on the branches. Christmas balls of all colours dot the tree with colour and life. Bells of all sorts of shape and sizes hang from the branches chiming their sweet songs. Stars, flowers, bows and candy canes, are pops of light and colour against the dark green evergreen. Toys for boys and girls cover the ground under the tree, a China doll with bright red lips and a pretty pink lace dress, a French horn shining in the lights of the tree, a black toy train waiting to be played with, and last of all the tree is topped with a big shiny star. You can smell the Christmas cheer in the air. By Maddie

The birds outside my window are chirping their sweet song. I wake to the sound of them every morning. I makes me feel safe and secure. They’re so cute. They look like little pompoms. The little black tufts on their heads keep them warm and cozy when the temperature drops below zero and the crisp air targets any bare skin. They stay warm no matter what with their cheerful yellow chests. I love the birds in the winter. It gives a sense of life when the land around is dead. I wake to the smell of fresh Christmas baking wafting through the air. It’s Christmas Eve today! All through the day my heart was racing. As the sun set I was just quivering with excitement. My mom came into my room and told me to put my coat on. We walked out the door and heard the carollers, they sound amazing! We stood there in the square listening to all the Christmas songs I grew up with sung perfectly. By Jenna

White, as far as you could see, all was white. The bench in the park was sprinkled with snow and untouched by people. The only disturbances in this winterland of a park was the whistling of the wind and the tweeting of a lonely bright red cardinal with black wings. The cardinal watched as the snow fell soft and silently with nobody to disturb the perfect scenery. The light from the street lamp left the park in total brightness and so the snowflakes were illuminated like stars in the sky. Glossy white snow covered the ground and frosted the trees. In the far distance the imagery was like a perfect mirror of the winterland all around. This perfect winter wonderland was all but untouched. By Damon

The snow lightly fell on the ground around me, the cold winter air nipped at my skin. The muffled clop of the horses’ hooves against the snow covered ground. The soft clatter of the father and his son reached my ears. The lush green tree contrasted against the blue and red of their clothes. The sled slid across the ground with a slight shhh sound as it compressed the snow below it. Some of the trees around us were bare of leaves, but the snow covered the otherwise boring branches. The others were still green and sharp. The house loomed ahead promising warmth and shelter from the cold breeze. Our new Christmas tree was finally home.

AGRICULTURE REPORTS

John Hauer P.Ag. Regional Forage Specialist

December 2014

arvest is over. The grain is in the bin. The cattle are home from the pasture. Now is the time to start thinking about next year. Do those next year plans include seeding some cropland into forages? If so here are a couple of things to consider. Firstly some species of forages are in short supply. So once you have decided what to seed book your seed supplies. If you need help deciding what to seed, contact your local Regional Forage Specialist. The forages species you seed will depend on factors like; what you plan to use the forage for hay or pasture, what season you plan to use it -

2015 Forage Planning

spring, summer or fall and what type of soil you are seeding into - sand, clay or saline soil. Secondly if the land is in annual crop and can be deemed to be high risk for erosion or prone to salinity then there is a program that helps with the seeding cost. Under the Farm Stewardship Program of Growing Forward II producers can access cost-shared funding to seed high risk erodible and saline cultivated land to forage. This funding is through the Protecting High Risk Erodible and Saline Soils Beneficial Management Practice under the Land Management BMP’s. To qualify, producers must own or

An Ongoing Problem

control a minimum of 320 acres of farmland in Saskatchewan and earn a minimum of $35,000.00 gross farm income in Saskatchewan. The funding covers 50% of seed costs (based on a maximum seed cost of $35.00/acre) and establishment costs (up to a maximum of $35.00/acre) up to a maximum of $5,000.00. Eligible producers can apply through their local Agri-Environmental Groups, Eagle Creek Watershed or South Sask River Watershed or apply themselves if they have completed their Individual Environmental Farm Plan. The land being seeded must have been in annual crop for two years prior to seeding to forage. The land must be at risk of

e have just gone through another season of crisis in the grain transportation system. The tragedy of $8 billion loss because we couldn’t get our grain to port in a timely manner when prices were strong is a blot-on-the margin for the government and main line railways alike. It is not like this situation developed suddenly so that capacity problems were unexpectedly upon us. No, we knew for decades that our rail system was inadequate for our increasing export industries. And now we are well aware that our grain production in total will be double the current level so action is a critical issue. Many may believe the excuses of the railroads but that would be the wrong response. The CPR is leasing rolling stock and trimming its infrastructure in the best rules of economics, while the CNR stands back and rubs it’s hands in sympathy as it rolls in profits but neglects preparing for the future. The government makes weak rules that make the system more unattractive to the railways while stating with straight faces that they are the farmer’s friend. What balderdash we have to suffer with no forward

erosion due to factors like coarse or moderately coarse textures (sandy soil) or steep slopes. Land which is prone to salinity can also qualify for forage seeding funding. Forage seed must be certified or Common # 1 with no prohibited or noxious weeds designated under The Weed Control Act (Saskatchewan). The forage mix must include some creeping rooted grass species. The forage mix must not include certain Invasive species. For help to make up the forage seed mix that suits your site and qualifies for this program contact your local Regional Forage Specialist. Another forage seeding program is the Native Plant Establishment BMP. If you want to seed land to forage using native forages you can get funding to help with this seeding cost. Funding levels are still 50% of eli-

planning in sight. Unquestionably we do not have enough capacity to handle the current demand from agriculture, potash, coal and lumber industries, and we are just at the beginning of a major expansion in export potential. Clearly we need a major plan of action, which will involve government as well as the railroads to increase rail capacity to the west coast. It probably means double tracking for enough rail space and some adjustments in the arrangements of gathering grain from all points in addition to the large terminals. It is going to take a pile of money so government will be part of the funding and with it have some control of what the plans will be for improved services for the benefit of all shippers.

gible costs up to a maximum seed cost of $100.00/acre (native seed costs are higher) and establishment costs of $35.00/acre up to a maximum cap of $10,000. Eligibility requirements are similar to the high risk erodible BMP. This project must be preapproved by your Regional Forage Specialist before starting the project. For more information on either of these forage seeding programs or on developing a forage seed mix contact John Hauer,

Reporting under the First Nations Financial Transparency Act

he Honourable Bernard Valcourt, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, issued the following statement regarding the FNFTA: "I am pleased to report that 529 of 582 First Nations now have their documents published under the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA), providing their members with more transparent and accountable governance and in turn helping to ensure band revenues are being used for their benefit”. The Act applies the same principles of transparency and accountability to First Nation governments that already exist for

RM Review

www.rmreview.net

other governments in Canada and also helps to empower any person, including First Nation members, to hold governments accountable by seeking a Court Order for the publication of documents if the requirements of the Act are not fulfilled. With regard to noncompliant First Nations, at this time our Government will be taking action according to the provisions of the law which will include: - Withholding funding for non-essential programs, services and activities - Withholding of new or proposal-based nonessential program funding; - Publishing the names of all non-compliant

First Nations on the AANDC website; and - In the case of those First Nations who have indicated they have no intention of complying, seeking court orders to require publication. I have directed that the sanctions not target essential services that support band members. With this Act, our Government has made financial information more accessible to First Nation members, which leads to more effective, transparent and accountable governance as well as stronger, more selfsufficient and prosperous communities."

uilding on the Government’s historic infrastructure investments, including under the New Building Canada Plan, Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Monday announced new investments that will continue to build and renew infrastructure and on-reserve schools across the country. The announcement is part of the Government’s unprecedented and historical investment in public infrastructure to ensure Canada’s future economic growth for years to come. The ability to invest this substantial amount in targeted infrastructure is a direct result of the Government’s responsible actions to return to fiscal balance. The Government will invest in infrastructure across the country in areas such as heritage, First Nations education, defence, borders, research facilities, harbours, transportation, and search and rescue to create jobs from coast to coast to coast. Canada’s prosperity and quality of life depend on a vast network

New Infrastructure Investments of public infrastructure – from roads and highways, to bridges, transit systems, water and wastewater infrastructure, ports, airports and recreational and cultural facilities. Investments in Canada’s

public infrastructure improve productivity and quality of life, and create jobs, growth, and long-term prosperity from coast to coast to coast.

MLA REPORT

November 26, 2014 Randy Weekes, MLA Energy East Pipeline Support Today in the Saskatchewan Legislature, our government passed a motion recognizing the Energy East Pipeline as good for all parts of Canada, from Saskatchewan and Alberta, to Ontario, Quebec and beyond. The motion recognizes the National Energy Board (NEB) as the appropriate body to review national pipeline projects, such as Energy East, and that provinces should not invent new conditions such as greenhouse gas emissions as a barrier to approval and trade. Energy East, like previous national pipeline projects in years past, will be good for economies across Canada, including Ontario and Quebec. The project will generate billions of dollars of activity, new jobs, manufacturing, and tax revenue, much of which will be in Central Canada. Saskatchewan’s oil sector continues to serve the people here by providing jobs, attracting investment, and generating tax revenue so our government can continue to make investments that benefit Saskatchewan people. Energy East will extend these benefits across Canada. The NEB already has a stringent approval process for pipelines in Canada and moving oil by pipeline is safer, more environmentally friendly, and more economical than moving it by rail. We should be removing barriers to growth between provinces, not inventing new ones. Strong Agriculture Sector Saskatchewan’s population is trending a little higher than usual as our province welcomes thousands of visitors from more than 60 countries. Agribition, Western Canada’s premiere agricultural marketplace, trade show and rodeo, is underway. The traditional “burning of the brand” kicked off the annual livestock and agribusiness show which brings hundreds of exhibitors, thousands of visitors and the best livestock in North America to Saskatchewan. The five-day event at Regina’s Evraz Place features a full lineup of entertainment that includes the Junior Roping and Stock Dog competitions, the Canadian Cowboys Association Finals Rodeo and Full Contact Jousting. Other events include eight National Beef Shows, an Indigenous Agricultural Summit, Grain Expo Conference and, for the first time

ever, a Think Ag Career Education Expo for students to learn about careers in agriculture. Despite excess moisture this past growing season, Saskatchewan’s agriculture sector is as strong as it has ever been. 2013 was our province’s third consecutive year of record exports at $11.7 billion and, in 2014, year-to-date exports are 19 per cent higher. Cattle prices have also reached record highs and the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program has been well-received with about 15 per cent of our province’s calf crop covered in the first year.

Saskatchewan is well-positioned as an important agricultural trader in the world and expansion of trade relations will help to sustain and build on that. The Premier’s trade mission to India this month is just one example of our government’s work to promote growing these relationships. New Building Canada Fund By working in partnership with the federal government, Saskatchewan is now poised to receive more than $436 million from the Government of Canada through the new Building Canada Fund. Over the next 10 years, regional and local communities will benefit from stable, predictable funding to continue to strengthen economic growth through investments in programs and infrastructure. Thanks in part to this funding, our government can continue to focus on building stronger communities, growing export and trade, ensuring a clean environment, and to keep meeting the opportunities and challenges of growth. Of the $436.7 million, $196.5 million will go toward provincial projects, while the remaining $240.2 million will go toward all other eligible Provincial Territorial Infrastructure Component applicants. These projects will be funded one-third each by the federal government, the provincial government and other eligible recipients. The total federal/provincial funding that will be invested in Saskatchewan infrastructure will be more than $870 million. This is going to help advance key goals of our Growth Plan as well as contribute to a higher quality of life. Applications are now being accepted.

Award-Winning Children’s Book Banishes the Stigma of Low Literacy and Shows What Happens When a Boy and his Dad Work Together to Learn to Read

ocal author, Carey Rigby-Wilcox is on a mission to highlight the impact low literacy has on adults and to spread the word that help is available. The author of the autobiographical children’s book “My Mummy Couldn’t Read,” Rigby-Wilcox met with her tutor for three-plus hours every Sunday for over twenty-three years to address her own low literacy issues. Once shy and insecure, she is a walking testimonial to how learning to read expands your life. In her newest book, “My Dad Couldn’t Read,” Rigby-Wilcox further destigmatizes the trauma of low literacy while offering a poignant tale of inspiration for children and parents alike. Parents usually strive to be an inspiration to their children, she notes, but what happens when children become an inspiration to their parents? In “My Dad Couldn’t read,” told in the first person by a young boy whose dad can barely read, readers learn how the boy’s dad struggles through grade school, how his shame and confusion grow, and how he finally gives up, quits high school, and goes to work instead.

The boy’s dad is good at his job, but he always feels that something is missing from his life. When his own son is born, he realizes that he made a terrible mistake in not persevering through his reading challenges and receiving his high school diploma. The question is, what can he do about it now? “My Dad Couldn’t Read” tells the poignant story of how the boy’s dad addresses his low literacy, the shame and confusion it causes, and his hopes and fears for his beloved son. In so doing, the story offers an inspiring testimony to the power of love and mutual determination. For Rigby-Wilcox’s efforts, “My Dad Couldn’t Read” received a Bronze Medal from the 2014 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards in the Reading/Literacy category. She comments, “I want to shed a light on literacy issues that affect adults today and also show that there is help for anyone who needs it. I have lived a life of shame, and I have decided to break the shame by telling my literacy story. There is help out there, and the ripple effect helps families, communities, and countries.”

Amazing Space Delisle & District Arts Council Report 'Tis the season... All week I have been singing Christmas carols. The other day I actually caught myself belting out “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” in line at the grocery store. Surprisingly, no one around me even batted an eye. I guess the holiday season is one time of year when folks can sing in public without feeling silly. Only a few years ago, you never would have caught me singing in front of anyone, much less at the grocery store. I was convinced that the sound of my singing voice fell somewhere between fingernails on a chalkboard and bagpipes warming up. I loved to sing, but I was very careful not to let anyone hear me. That wasn't always the case, of course. When I was a kid I used to sing all the time. It never occurred to me then that I should be embarrassed about how I sounded. Then one day when I was merrily singing away in the back seat of the car, my grandma told my grandpa to pull over, an ambulance was coming. There was no ambulance. It was my singing she had heard and thought it was a siren. And so ended my days of unselfconscious singing. Lots of us grow up thinking we can't

sing. Someone made fun of us, or a teacher told us not to bother trying out for the musical, or we were kindly told, “It's OK, you have other gifts.” No matter how it was put, the message was clear – you can't sing. So many of us just stopped singing, at least when there was anyone else around to hear. But singing is not just for the musically 'gifted' – it's for everybody. Everyone sings. Singing touches something deep inside of us; allows us to give voice to our feelings. Singing with others is especially wonderful; it builds community, nurtures relationships, and it's a whole lot of fun! This holiday season, why not put away those old messages that keep you silent, and let yourself sing. Looking for somewhere to test out those vocal chords? The Delisle Community Choir meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. New members are always welcome. No auditions; no experience necessary. December 17th – Delisle-Vanscoy United Church invites everyone to join in an evening of Christmas caroling, followed by hot chocolate and cookies. Meet at the United Church at 6:30pm.

You can purchase the book at www.seeabook.com and $1 of every purchase goes to the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre
