Asquith Fencer Finalist for Saskatchewan Female Youth Athlete of the Year
anuary 8th Sask Sports Inc announced its finalists for the Saskatchewan Sports Award, and fencer Kirsten Van Marion has made the list. Van Marion lives and trains in Asquith, a small town a half an hour west of Saskatoon, the hometown of another great Saskatchewan fencer, Shannon Comerford who is a member of Canada’s National Women’s Foil Fencing team. Van Marion, unlike Comerford who is a foilist, favours the epee and is currently ranked
W
#9 in Canada for her efforts in Junior Women’s Epee. No small feat as Van Marion has just officially entered the category age range at age 15, and is officially considered to be a competitor in the Cadet category. Highlights of her 2013 season include: - A bronze for Cadet Women’s Epee (U15) at the Canadian Nationals. - A bronze for Team Epee representing Saskatchewan at the Canada Games. - A gold and bronze medal at the Canadian Western Championships.
- Two gold medals and a bronze at the Sask Provincials. This year, Van Marion also took to the international stage, competing in Dallas, Texas at the North American Championships (NAC), despite a bout of food poisoning. Her future goals include continuing on with her training with an eye to making Canada’s National Team, while continuing to maintain her ninetyeight per cent average in school. Kirsten Van Marion ranked 9th in Canada in Jr Womens Epee

e were actually able to have our January, 2013 meeting. We had missed the two previous years due to cold and stormy conditions. During our regular February meeting our re-elected officers from December 2012 were sworn in with Frank Orchard as President, Lorne Lambden as Vice-President, Charlene Pollries as Secretary and Pat Orchard and Rita Pfoh as the Treasurers. For the February meeting a motion was made to have a donation made of $300.00 to Telemiracle in March 2013. Our scheduled meeting for March, 2013 had to be cancelled due to a storm. We will all remember the winter of 2013, for sure! It was just nasty and didn’t want to end! During our April meeting we were sorry to hear of the passing of Raye Keeler of Vanscoy. Raye had been a long-time member of the The Royal Canadian Legion,

Delisle Branch #184. The Delisle Branch #184 also planned for the fund raising project of holding BBQs over lunch time on Fridays. The Cemetery and Cenotaph Committee along with all the volunteers and the Delisle Legion members helped out to make it a great success. We want to thank our volunteers and supporters as the money that was raised was split between the Delisle Branch #184 and the Delisle Cemetery and Cenotaph committee. The Zone Golf for The Royal Canadian Legion was held this year on June 8th, in Delisle at the Valleyview Golf Course. Unfortunately it was a very cold, windy and a wet day! We only had 11 participants. They seemed to have fun in spite of the weather. The Delisle Branch #184 provided soup and sandwiches for the golfers. The June 20th, 2013 meeting it was decided that the Delisle Branch would give out two $500.00 bursaries for Red Williams............. p. 3 Council Reports......... p. 4
the 2013 Graduation. A motion was also made to donate $200.00 to the “Wounded Warrior Veterans Weekend” to be held in Nipawin in August, 2013. We lost another one of our Veterans, Danny Arntsen in July. We were very sad to lose another Veteran but the Delisle Branch #184 was honored to have him in our branch. Danny was always very willing to share his many stories of the war and about the community. He will be greatly missed. Delisle Days was held on July 20th and the Delisle Branch #184 arranged to put a float in the parade. The float looked awesome and one of our Veterans, Walter Howe and two other members from our branch, Jim Travagline and Brenda Laing also rode on the float. It was a great day for this event.
Delisle Branch held our annual Remembrance Day Raffle to raise money and we were very successful again this year with many thanks to all the local and area businesses, plus Legion members and volunteers that sold tickets for our raffle. We would also like to thank everyone that purchased tickets. Following is the list of prizes and winners: 1st prize was a two night stay at the Saskatoon Travelodge in a pool side room with a value up to $400.00 and the winner of first prize was Grant Norris from Delisle. 2nd prize was a $100.00 gift certificate from the Vanscoy Meats and Sausage plus approximately $100.00 worth of Saskatchewan Roughrider memorabilia and the winner of this prize was Graham and Kathy Shackleton

Pat Trask Book Comes in Third in Saskatchewan
M
cNalley Robinson reports that “The Man Behind Handsome” book, written by local author, Pat Trask, has reached the third highest sales in Saskatchewan for non-fiction in 2013. Pat Trask says she was “absolutely delighted when I received the announcement” She is currently at the tail end of the 3rd printing, with just over 1,700 books sold in the past year. “I have done a lot of public appearances” says Pat “as well as going to trade shows, etc to expose my book in an area about 50 miles around my home and I intend to be on the road even more. When an author selfpublishes as I did, it is up to us to then initially promote our books.”
When Pat reached a decision to write her memoir, her aim was to expose those men, or women, who physically or emotionally abuse their family. “The bonus I find I got from writing it, is the dozens of people who tell me how much the book has helped them. The main line I find in most of the e-mails is, Thank God you had the courage to write the book......others say, I don't know how you girls survived.” It is Pat’s hope that those people who have read her book realize that in spite of abuse in the past, they don’t need to let themselves be victims anymore. Her book is available in Delisle at L’il Bit of Country and the Credit Union.
Food for Thought
T
Picking the Time
he hoorah over the slowness of clearing the 2013 crop has farm organizations up in arms and has government officials running for cover. It is indeed a critical situation with grain on the farms, elevators chock full and prices falling. Also it is logical to lay the blame on the mainlines because this time around there is space at the west coast. The railways are just not up to the task of handling the peak demand in the fall for newly harvested crop, along with potash, lumber and now oil. Nevertheless, perhaps we are unfairly loading it all on the railways. Authors,(including yours truly) have
C.M. (Red) Williams
warned of the impending crisis long before the peak harvest. When the horse has bolted is no time to be closing the barn door. The corrective measures should have been taken at least two decades ago, but the only action was to cap profits as a penalty for improving rail service. Clearing up the errors of the past will take years with an aggressive transportation policy, perhaps starting by finishing Pierre Trudeau’s grand plan to double-track Kicking Horse Pass., however best to get the bottleneck of the Rockies opened up. Opinions expressed here are those of the author

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL
PIKE LAKE SCHOOL
We made it through January with only one no-bus day! That’s not too bad for as cold as it was. Our new students are settling in quite well, although we are still waiting for one more to start. Our room is now nicely decorated for winter with snowmen, snowflakes, and polar bear crafts. These crafts were done to learn about winter and white. The 4-year olds also spent some time learning about dinosaurs through books, crafts, a field trip to the university, and decorating dinosaur cookies. The 3-year olds enjoyed a Teddy Bear Day complete with teddy bears, crafts. snacks, songs, and games. In February we will learn about the number 6 and the colour pink. Both groups will have a Valentine’s Party and the 4-year olds will experience their own Preschool Olympics to coincide with the Winter Olympics. It should be a short but fun month! I will be away at the end of February so I am giving you my March report as well! Of course, no March is complete without celebrating St.Patrick’s Day and the colour green. We will also discuss what happens in spring and hopefully the weather starts to turn around by then so the kids don’t look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them that it starts to get warmer in spring! That’s all for this newsletter. You can read all about our February and March experiences in April!
Literacy is taking center stage at Pike Lake School. Pike Lake School is proud to be a part of the provincial literacy initiatives taking place in Saskatchewan. Indeed, the Ministry of Education, Prairie Spirit School Division and its many schools are striving to have each and every child reading at the grade 3 level by the end of that grade. This important literacy goal requires a collaboration between schools, families, the community, and the government so that each and every student can experience success in learning to read. As students come to love reading it becomes a key to student’s success in all subject areas, as literacy provides the foundation for success in all subject areas. Students at Pike Lake School are seeing results from the work that they have done in improving their reading fluency and comprehension strategies. The Grade ¾ students have welcomed the Grade 2 students to take part in a novel study with them. The students are working in collaborative groups, discussing their reading and utilizing the comprehension reading strategies that they have been taught. It is exciting to watch as students develop conversations around their reading and by doing so strengthen not only their comprehension skills but also their abilities to work within a group work, which will be important learning abilities to have in their toolkits as they further their educational pursuits. Our Kindergarten and Grade One students continue to show amazing growth in their literacy skills as well. Learning letter names, sounds, sight words; accuracy when reading; fluency, comprehension of both literal and higher level thinking; reading non-fiction text with the same skills; comprehension strategies; home reading of books at the “just right level” for the child. We are constantly amazed by their growth and development and so proud of their hard work. Student’s success reading at school often is linked to the reading with a parent or loved one on a regular basis outside of the school setting. It is exciting to hear the creative and amazing ways students fit reading into their busy schedules. The positive memories children develop being read to or reading while traveling in the car, relaxing in the bathtub, in the morning before going to school, during tuck in time at the end of the evening or even while supper is being prepared serve wonderful reading experiences for the developing reader.

AGRICULTURE REPORTS Travis Peardon Regional Livestock Specialist
T
o some it may seem early to be talking about 2015 already. We have just made it into 2014 and have calving, breeding, haying, harvest weaning, etc. to think about before the calendar rolls over to 2015. However, it will be 2015 before you see any results from a bull you bring home from the sale this spring; and 2017 before you see if the females off that bull are going to make good replacements. It is important to know the direction you want your herd to go and have a plan to get it there. Choosing the right bull is the first step. It may seem obvious but the 1st step in choosing the bull that will fit into your breeding plan is to choose a breed. If you have been happy with your breeding program in the past perhaps you want to continue with the breeds that have brought you success. Maybe there is room to bring extra weaning weight to your calves, or perhaps you need to improve some of the maternal traits in your cowherd. Sometimes considering a different breed than you have been using can meet your needs. The next logical step is to decide on the Expected Progeny Differ-

ence (EPD) profile that you need. The internet can be a great resource when looking at EPDs. Each breed association website will have breed averages for all of the EPDs that they calculate. Many breeds will have a representative on hand who is happy to answer questions about each EPD if you are unsure what it might mean for your operation. Local seed stock producers are also a great source of information on EPDs. Once a breed is decided upon, and you know where your new bull needs to rank in all the relevant EPDs, the next step is to decide where to get him from. Or another way of looking at it is to choose a breeder. Many seed stock producers produce catalogues to showcase their bull offerings for each year. Gather all of these together and see which bulls will fit your needs. Compile a list of 4 or 5 bulls from each breeder that would be suitable. Make arrangements to see the bulls before sale day. Call the breeders and ask if you can come to their operation. You will be able to see how the bulls are managed up until sale day and see how they look before they run through the ring. Use this opportunity to see the dams of
the bulls that you had picked out. This is especially important if you are planning on keeping females from their offspring. Ask lots of questions. My experience is that breeders love to talk about their cow herds. You will be able to learn about cow families and which ones are long time producers and if there are any idiosyncrasies, like poor docility or short gestation length, to be aware of. When all this is done, you have likely made a decision. There will be a bull that fits well into your program, will add needed traits to your operation, is appealing to your eye, and comes from a line of cows that you would be happy to raise. Once you have him purchased it is a good idea to insure that animal. Many operations have purchased the ideal bull for their operation only to have him go down a week into breeding season. Some of the larger seed stock operations offer insurance, or it can be purchased from a third party. There is a lot more to choosing a bull for your operation than going to the closest sale and buying the cheapest bull. There are many factors to consider. On February 12th at the Johnstone Auction Mart, and February 13th at Saskatoon Livestock Sales, the Ministry of Agriculture will be hosting Bull Selection Workshops. Topics at these workshops include: Scrotal Circumference & Fertility, Hybrid Bulls, Live Bull Comparison and Situational Bull Selection, Genomically Enhanced EPDs, and Feed & It’s Effect on Feet. If you would like more information on sire selection or to register for the upcoming Bull Selection Workshop, contact the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866457-2377. Deadline for registration is February 6, 2014.

Crop Variety Selection
T
he Varieties of Grain Crops publication for 2014 is now available and can assist you in choosing the right variety of pulse, oilseed and cereal crop for your farm. The program to test varieties is administered by the Saskatchewan Variety Performance Group, and the testing is performed by public and private organizations throughout the province. The regional variety trials are conducted annually throughout Saskatchewan to compare the agronomics of the varieties across a range of agro climatic conditions. The guide is a long term data base that compares yields, maturity, disease and insect resistance and other agronomic information relative to a common check variety. The Varieties of Grain Crops publication for 2014 also contains some very important articles and inserts. One of the publication articles explains that rotating varieties and using different resistance genes within a field over time will decrease the opportunity for insects or diseases to adapt to the technology used. This will help to keep the technology from breaking down and to extend the effectiveness of the variety. This practice has become easier to do due to the increased number of varieties being developed and released every year. For example, rotating wheat varieties Waskada, Cardale, 5602HR and Carrberry can provide good resistance to fusarium headblight for a long period of time in areas with high infection pressure. The publication also includes a table of recommended Malting Barley Varieties. This table was provided by the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre (CMBTC). The CMBTC created the list based on varieties expected to be selected by grain and malting companies for both domestic and export markets
from the 2014 harvest. Knowing the variety that will be in high demand for domestic and export markets will be important to any producer that is trying to grow malt barley. A special article addressing the flax industry reboot has been included in the flax section of this year’s issue. Since 2009, the flax industry has been struggling with Triffid contamination and exportation to the European Union. Over the last three years contamination has dropped but it has not been eliminated. The article speaks about recently reconstituted flax varieties and provides information on how a producer can help eliminate the Triffid contamination issue forever. The Varieties of Grain Crops is packed with great information for grain producers in Saskatchewan. It is available online on the Saskatchewan Agriculture website or your local regional office.

Reducing Red Tape for Businesses
his past Wednesday, the Government of Canada released its first Scorecard Report outlining the substantial progress made in cutting red tape for Canadian business, under the Red Tape Reduction Action Plan. Treasury Board President Tony Clement made the announcement at Greco Lean + Fit's newest location on Sussex Drive during Red Tape Awareness Week, held annually by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). Minister Clement was joined by Minister of National Revenue Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, Minister of International Trade Ed Fast, and Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism, and Agriculture) Maxime
Bernier, who explained the latest red-tape measures taken by their respective departments. The CFIB's Laura Jones, a member of the Regulatory Advisory Committee that reviewed the Scorecard, also addressed event attendees.
_The Scorecard Report will be published by the President of the Treasury Board on an annual basis. The Scorecard and the Committee's views on the federal government's progress will also be provided to the Auditor General each year.
Quick Facts: _The Scorecard Report captures the progress made in implementing the Red Tape Reduction Action Plan's systemic reforms during the 2012–2013 fiscal year. _The Regulatory Advisory Committee, which is composed of external experts from business and a consumer group, reviewed the Scorecard and endorsed it as a fair and reliable account of the progress made.
Canada's Red Tape Reduction Action Plan is one of the most ambitious red tape-cutting initiatives in the world today. It increases Canadian competitiveness, frees business to innovate, grow, and create jobs, and underscores Canada's reputation as one of the best places in the world to do business and invest.

Red Tape Awareness Week January 29, 2014 Randy Weekes, MLA
G
overnment rules, permits and paperwork can take too long, cost too much and, in some cases, these processes aren’t always necessary. This “red tape” is more than just a costly headache for business owners, it can also be a burden when completing home renovations, applying for student loans and even going fishing. According to a public opinion poll for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), nearly half of respondents said that excessive regulation adds significant stress to their lives. Cutting red tape and reducing duplication is a priority for our government. Just in the past year, more than 100 regulations, policies and procedures have been updated to make things more relevant, efficient and effective. This work includes changes to Saskatchewan’s liquor rules and regulations, The Saskatchewan Employment Act, the reduction of paperwork and shortening of repair time at SGI and the implementation of flat rates for a number of customer-requested services by SaskPower. Recently, Saskatchewan has also become the second jurisdiction in Canada to legislate regulatory accountability through The Regulatory Modernization and Accountability Act. This mandates annual reporting from ministries and agencies across government regarding regulatory modernization activities. What this does, in the end, is makes life better for both businesses and consumers. With the understanding that there is more work to do, the CFIB has acknowledged these efforts and, alongside our government, proudly declared the week of January 27th - 31st, 2014 as “Red Tape Awareness Week” in Saskatchewan.
As our government works to reduce red tape, the men and women employed in our oil industry have helped to increase production – setting new records in 2013. 177.9 million barrels (487,400 barrels per day) were produced last year, an increase from the previous record of 172.9 million barrels (472,500 barrels per day) the year before. Drilling activity is “robust” with a total of 2,433 horizontal oil wells drilled in 2013, a new record that surpasses the 2,036 horizontal oil wells drilled in 2012. Saskatchewan is considered to be the number one jurisdiction in Canada for oil and gas investment policies, according to The Fraser Institute’s Global Petroleum Survey. The oil industry is a key contributor to our diversifying economy, the overall strength of which is highlighted in the latest figures from Statistics Canada. One such example is the number of people receiving EI. A strong labour market, which created more than 18,000 new jobs last year, has resulted in fewer Saskatchewan people collecting Employment Insurance. In November, EI beneficiaries were down 13.9% the largest year-over-year decrease in Canada. Between October and November there was also 1% growth in retail sales – ahead of the national average. This was third straight monthover-month increase. Overall, job opportunities have never been greater and we are fortunate to have the means to spend more of our earnings which in turn contributes to a stronger, growing economy. Saskatchewan people aren’t just spending more of their earnings, many are spending time volunteering for non-profit and service organizations. To properly recognize these efforts, the Government of Saskatchewan recently launched a new award for community volun-

COMMUNITY REPORTS PIKE LAKE Coming Events...
Amazing Space - Delisle & District Arts Council
It was Saturday morning – prime time for sleeping in. Many of us had been up late the night before. Frankly, I worried that I'd show up and be the only person there. So imagine my surprise and delight when I arrived to find nearly a dozen others excitedly waiting to get started! What was it that got so many people out of their beds on a sleepy Saturday morning? The 2013 Culture Days “Community Singing” workshop. Turns out, there's no better way to start the day than with singing. We were a diverse group made up of children, seniors, youth, and adults from Vanscoy, Delisle, Saskatoon and all parts in between. Many of us didn't even know one
another, but we all shared one thing in common – our love of singing. We spent the whole morning making fabulous music together with our voices. By “fabulous” I don't mean to imply that we were always strictly “on key,” or that any of us really knew what we were doing. I mean that we had fabulous fun together indulging our shared delight in singing. We learned about harmonizing by practicing some simple rounds. We laughed – a lot – and we amazed ourselves with how good we actually sounded! Maybe right about now you're thinking – “Hmmm, that sounds like fun” or “Gee, I wish I had been there” or “Wouldn't it be great
