‘Senator Herb’

ocal born & raised ‘Senator Herb’ passed away in September of 2012 and left behind a tremendous legacy.

Herb’s Funeral Service was held on Friday, September 14 in North Battleford.

The following is an excerpt from the eulogy read by his son Ken Sparrow.

The Honorable Herbert O. Sparrow, C.M., D. SC. 1930 - 2012

Council Reports.......p. 4 Police Patrol............p. 5

Herb..... The Star Phoenix once called him a “Renaissance Man.” For close to half his life he was “The Senator.” The University of McGill honoured him with “Dr. Sparrow.” To his family he was “Dad”, “Grandpa” and “Uncle Herb.”

To most people he was just “Herbie.” But Just Who Was Herb Sparrow? As Peter Tarnowsky quipped at Herb’s roast, “Herb made such an impact as a Senator that you can go anywhere in Canada – East coast, West coast, North or South and ask anyone about Herb Sparrow, and they’ll all say the same thing: “Who the hell is Herb Sparrow!” Bank teller, Car Salesman, Restaurateur, Entrepreneur, Farmer, Rancher, Garbage Man, Excavation and Trucking, Land Developer, General Store Owner, Politician, Gold Miner, Old-School Stand-Up Comedian in the vein of his friend and hero Red Skelton.

Kinsmen, Mason, Shriner, Honorary Rotarian, and always The Entertainer. He’s been called “the champion of the little guy”, and the “lone wolf senator.” Obvi-

ously, Herb was a “workaholic.” Many workaholics have trouble delegating. Not Herb. It may have been all his political experience, or as a city alderman, or with the Kinsmen Club; but wherever he learned it, Herb was a master at getting people to do things to help him with his projects. Personally, I think he got his training conning us kids to work for him.

Every one of his kids, most of our childhood friends, and most of his grandchildren have been tricked with the classic – “who wants to go on a picnic?” He would then take his minions out to the ranch to pick rocks. Of course there was always a reward – KFC – at the end of the job.

And many times he would drag us out to chase cattle that had escaped their fences, or move cows between pens. I remember selfishly asking him one Christmas day, as we chased cows most of the day through the north end of the city, if we could take Boxing Day off. Of course, it wasn’t all work. There were ski trips to the mountains, and he loved our cabin the lake. But to Herb, hanging out on the beach was not very productive. So to justify it he started a lakefront development, and spent thousands of hours manually cutting reeds in the lake and cleaning and grooming the beach – usually in his bikini brief underwear that he thought passed as a bathing suit. And of course he press-ganged his kids and

‘It’s Hard to Make Predictions, Especially About the Future’

Yogi Berra may have been the greatest prophet of them all with a quote like “It’s hard to make predictions, especially about the future.”

As we ring in the new year, and look back on 2012, was it the year that anyone predicted?

For those that interpreted the Mayan calendar in a particular way, maybe not. Mind you, how can you trust a prediction for the demise of our civilization by one that didn’t even see their own coming !

Last year brought events that may not have ended the world, but like every other year, have certainly changed the world forever.

The citizens of Syria that have seen 60,000 of thier fellow citizens killed must feel they are living through the end of the world.

The thousands of people that were devastated by Hurricane Sandy must have surely thought the end of the world was coming.

It was a dark year for the family of Lorry Anne Santos of Saskatoon who’s world ended in her doorway when gangsters got the wrong address.

And how can we even imagine the heart-breaking anguish of the families of the innocent victims of the horrific massacre at Sandy Hook school in Newtown. The world, as they knew it earlier that morning, surely did end.

These events were not specifically predicted by anyone, but could we not say that in some way we all saw them coming ?

The unrest in the middle east has been going on for generations.

The severe weather effects of global warming have been exposed by scientists for year.

Every community, including Saskatoon, experiences increased violence with growth.

And for as long as the majority of Americans have had a distorted interpretation of the 2nd Ammendment, and continued to ignore the health and welfare of thier population, they have lived with increasingly shocking and devastating attacks on themselves, by themselves.

The world we live in is not a collection of random events that we wish someone could predict for us.

Rather it is the continuously evolving result of our own past actions. Whether generations ago, or mere days, what we create one day, forever becomes our world the next.

No one has the ability to predict the future of the world, but we all possess the even greater power, and dare I say responsibility, to create the future of the world.

If mankind is willing to learn from the profound results of its previous decisions, we will be able to move forward by making better ones.

And if we don’t.... ...... I predict 2013 will be much like 2012.

Happy New Year.

The Honorable Herbert O. Sparrow, C.M., D. SC. grandkids to help him with that project too. Now this might sound like Herb was tough on his children and grandchildren. Nothing could be further from the truth, but I’m sure sometimes we thought he was; mostly because he expected you to know how to act and how to react to situations, just because you were his family. He led by example, and you were expected to learn and follow.

He wanted the best for his children and their children, never wanting them to do without, but wanting them to learn how to work to achieve their goals independently. He was proud of all his kids, and all of his grandchildren. And he was totally enthralled with his great grandson, Ezra. Herb was my hero. He accomplished so much, and he helped so many people. But he told me that his life had been blessed. He had been helped along the way by so many generous individuals, that he felt it his duty to “pay-it-forward” by helping others. He spoke of George Tucker, the retired farmer and Reeve of Meota for 30 years. After weeks of negotiating and questioning, pestering and test driving he finally bought a car from Herb, and then came back to buy cars for all his sons. George became his friend and mentor, pushing him to open a “drive-in” restaurant, and helping him financially. Roy Morrison , his boss in the car business, friend, mentor and partner in the KFC in Minot, North Dakota was another.

Colonel Harland Saunders , Premier Ross Thatcher , his Kinsmen buddies, his political pals and many other people in the community not only influenced him, but gave him moral, intellectual, and financial help along the way. Some of them, or their children or grandchildren may be reading this and for Herb, Lois and our family, we thank you. From those amazing people, and from his own burning desire and sense of purpose, he grew into the Herb that we knew and loved. He was tenacious, passionate and totally committed to everything he did. Herb was Dean of the Senate – the longest serving Senator when he retired after serving 37 years. He was appointed by Lester B. Pearson in 1968 at 38 years of age, at the time, the youngest Senator. He sat in the Senate through 8 Prime Ministers and watched 315 Senators come and go.

When asked why Prime Minister Pearson appointed him to the Senate, he said “You have to be wealthy, good looking, well educated, and bilingual – but they couldn’t find anybody like that so they appointed me.” In 1969 he worked on the Special Senate Committee on Poverty.

As research he went undercover, as a homeless man with $1.50 and some food stamps and lived a full week on “skid row” in Vancouver, living with the street people. He served as Deputy Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, member of Senate Committees for Foreign Affairs, Mass Media and Transportation and Communications. As Chairman of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Forest Committee, he released the 1984 report on soil

conservation, “Soil at Risk: Canada’s Eroding Future.” It became the most published report of any government committee report, ever, distributing over 50,000 copies across Canada and around the world. For the next 10 years Herb travelled across Canada attending close to 1000 meetings spreading the message about the dangers of soil erosion. At a retirement ceremony for Herb in the Senate, Senator Lorna Milne said that after a few weeks in the Senate, she went home and told her husband Ross, an accomplished Agricultural Engineer and political veteran, about this senator who seemed friendly enough, but clearly walked to the beat of his own drum.

She said, “Let me share with you what Ross said about Senator Herb Sparrow:” “This man has done more to improve the ecology of the entire world than any single person in history. His report of the Senate Agricultural Committee called Soil At Risk, changed completely the way that farming is done in the deep, dry soils of the Canadian Prairies, the American Midwest, the Pampas of Argentina and the Steppes of Russia and Ukraine. Herb has made a difference, a difference that has transformed agriculture forever.” In 1990 Herb teamed up with Dr. David Suzuki to do a segment on “The Nature of Things” on the issue of soil

ble condition and Baby Sparrow is holding his own. When I was in Grade 5, I remember coming home from school and saying to my mother, "Mother, was I adopted?"

She said, "Well, now that you are 18, I might as well tell you the truth.

You were adopted, but they brought you back." Another thing I remember is coming home and asking, "Father, will you take me to the zoo?"

He said, "Son, if the zoo wants you, they will come and get you." I wish my father was alive today so that he could know I got to the zoo here all by myself.” Throughout his life Herb Sparrow received many honours and awards for his service. He was awarded the Order of Canada, the United Nations Environmental Leadership Medal and an Honorary Doctor of Science from McGill University, The Soil Conservation Society of America Honour Award and the H.R. Macmillan Laureate Award in Agriculture. He received Honorary Life Memberships in the Kinsmen Club, Rotary International and the Agricultural Institute of Canada and Honorary memberships in the Canadian Legion and Canadian Society of Soil Science. He was Honorary President of the Canadian Amateur Baseball Association and Honorary Chairman of Telemiracle 15. He received an Exceptional Service Award, Salvation Army Canada

“Renaissance Man” conservation. He was the first President of Soil Conservation Canada and he continued his work to protect the land and the environment throughout the rest of his life. At his retirement, when speaking to the Senate, Herb stated that, “My family was young when I first came to the Senate. While here, away from home, the children would fight about who got to sleep with their mother.

This fighting had to stop, so I asked them to not request that they sleep with their mother while I was away.

Upon my return, they came to the airport to meet me. I had just gotten off the plane and was in the arrivals area when one of my little guys hollered, “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, no one slept with Mommy while you were away!” Here are a few excerpts of his response to the Senate at his 35th anniversary: “Honourable senators, thank you very much. I do appreciate your kind remarks. Yes, I have been here for 35 years, and I can say that, in all that time, I don't regret one day that I was here. That day was September 25, 1970. That is the day I do not regret being here. I will use this opportunity to give you a bit of my background, something I have not had the opportunity to do in the 35 years I have been here.

The headline of the news report at the time of my birth read: "Mrs. Sparrow gives birth to a child." It went on to indicate that I was born in a manger and that my sex life began at an early age because the report read: "Mrs. Sparrow is in sta-

and the Battlefords and district Citizen of the Decade Award, 1989. Earlier he received the Junior Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Young Man of the Year Award and the Vanier Young Man of the Year Award. He was Inducted into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame, The North Battleford Wall of Fame, the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame, and the Canadian Conservation Hall of Fame. Herb was a true entrepreneur. In 1955, while he was a car salesman with Morrison’s Chrysler, he opened “the Ranch House”, the first Drive-in restaurant in the Battlefords. In 1958 the Ranch House became the 3rd Kentucky Fried Chicken Franchise in Canada, and the 11th in North America. Eventually he also owned several KFC’s in North Dakota and another in Meadow Lake. He began farming and raising cattle in the mid 1960’s. He expanded into the Excavation and Gravel Hauling business, waste disposal, a General Store in Meota and land development. He even tried his hand at gold mining with his friends, the late Shorty Ranger and Bill Bonter. Herb’s avocation was as a speaker – he was a stand-up comedian of the old school. His passion was to protect the land for future generations. But his compassion drove him to tirelessly work to help the less fortunate in our society, particularly the children. He was cofounder of the first school for mentally handicapped children in

the Battlefords, convincing Colonel Harland Sanders to be a contributor to the school. When Brenda Sparrow told him that there were kids at the school so hungry that they were rummaging through garbage cans for food, Herb launched a food program. His staff at the Ranch House would prepare lunches and Linda Light would deliver them. Then he started a breakfast program, paying the noon supervisor to come in early to make breakfast for the children.

From 1988 to 2004 they delivered 159,530 meals. This program expanded to provide food through the Boys’ and Girls’ club during the summer months, feeding 30 to 50 kids every day, and eventually through the Salvation Army, providing food to children and adults through the food bank which he was instrumental in establishing. He worked tirelessly to organize workers for the Salvation Army Kettles.

This year he provided a donation and negotiated matching funds from the City of North Battleford to help keep open the homeless shelter at the Battlefords Indian and Metis Friendship Centre. And over the years he helped countless people in our community when they needed it most. Herb suffered a great many health issues over the last number of years, and he had become very aware of his mortality. But that never shook his resolve, ambition to help others, or his sense of humour.

He often joked that he had (funeral director) Bob McKay on speed dial.

When Brenda asked him once what he'd like said at his funeral he replied, "Oh look he's moving!" 2 years ago, on September 4th, Bryan was getting his boat ready to pull from the lake. Mom and Dad were at the cabin, so he asked them if they wanted to go for one last boat ride.

When they got back to land, Herb said – “Thank god – I thought that was going to be my LAST ride.” On August 28th, one of his worse fears came true. He suffered a stroke that rendered him speechless, and unable to swallow. When Bryan found him at home, and he couldn’t talk, Bryan told him he’d phoned for an ambulance, but Herb got up, put on a clean shirt, and refused to ride in the ambulance. Bryan drove him to the hospital and he insisted on walking into emergency, he would not allow them to put him in a wheelchair. Rob met them there, and when the doctor asked, “when was he last normal?” Rob said, “Thirtyfive years ago.” And Herb managed a smile. We all thought he would recover from this stroke, but his body was just too worn out from years of fighting heart disease. And at the Royal University Hospital, nine days later, on September 6th, 2012 at 8:30 in the evening we lost our husband, dad and grandpa; our uncle and our friend. And the country lost a true patriot and a genuine hero.

Our family would like to thank the Battlefords Funeral Service, the Battlefords Detachment of the R.C.M.P. and the many friends, relatives and dignitaries who honoured Herb with their attendance and condolences.

Police Patrol If Your Teen Is a Victim of Crime Cst. Sheryl Raymond

T

eens are very vulnerable to crime and, unfortunately, become victims of crime more than any other age group. They experience all the same crimes that adults do-from property crimes to relationship violence, assaults, and bullying. How parents and other adults respond can make a big difference in how teens cope with and recover from the event.

Trauma and victimization affect people in different ways. It is important to watch for rapid behavior changes that can be indicators of victimization and trauma, for example: a child who was always deeply concerned about looks and appearance, who stops being interested in how people view her; a strong student who no longer is interested in achievement; or a child who now expresses fear about doing something, such as taking the bus, attending school, or going somewhere frequented in the past.

Things that can help: Remain calm in front of your teen.

Remember that your teen will be aware of and affected by your reactions.

Focus on what your teen needs.

Avoid being judgmental. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone makes bad decisions.

This NEVER means it's all right for one person to harm another.

Just listen-let your child vent and don't try to have answers for everything.

Ask your child to talk about how he or she reacted to the event.

Accept that your teen may be acting differently, but set appropriate limits. For instance, your teen may be expressing a lot of anger, but it is still inappropriate for him or her to throw things, break things, or be violent.

Give your teen time to process what happened.

Help your teen mobilize his or her own resources-friends, teachers, coaches, siblings, and other family members who can be supportive.

Good things to say: Nothing you did (or didn't do) makes you deserve this.

I'm glad you told me.

How can I/we help you feel safer?

I love you.

I'm proud of you.

This happens to other people. Would it help to talk with some of them?

I'm sorry this happened.

I believe you.

I'll support your decisions.

Things NOT to say: This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't ..........!

I told you not to: go to that party, date that person, hang out with those people.

Just forget it ever happened.

Get over it.

This is private. Don't tell anyone what happened.

Explore options for addressing the situation with your child. Options for addressing safety and holding perpetrators accountable for the crime include: Contacting victim service providers for emotional support, safety planning, and more information about other resources and legal rights.

Reporting to police and beginning the criminal justice process.

Reporting to school authorities.

Accessing mental health and medical services.

Exploring support options for you and your teen, both individually and together, can be very helpful in the healing process. Local victim service providers, mental health programs, or religious organizations can often work with the victim, family, and friends to help you through this time.

Stay safe!

DELISLE COMPOSITE

PIKE LAKE

Happy New Year from Delisle Composite! As we look toward the end of the month, it brings the end of the first semester. Final exams will be written in grades 10-12 on January 25 to 31. Semester turn around day is February 1 (no school for students.) The new semester starts February 4 and report cards go out on February 8.

Before Christmas, the DCS Lifeskills group did a "Christmas Wish" and organized winter coat collection for the "Coats for Kids" organization. On December 20 they went to W.P. Bate Community school and delivered over 45 coats ! The kids really enjoyed a tour and had a chance to look in at some of their ESL classes. They came away feeling really good about helping those less fortunate than ourselves and hope to do something again next year.

In sports, both senior and junior curling teams have started up in January.

It is a short season with playdowns occurring already in February! The basketball teams have all been busy. Here are some brief updates. The senior boys basketball team was away at a tournament in Birch Hills on Friday Dec. 21st. The senior girls and boys played at LCBI December 12. Prior to that the senior girls were in Humboldt Dec 8, and the boys in Borden. The home tournament for both of these teams is on February 8 and 9. Conference playoffs begin in early March.

For the junior teams, the junior boys won their third straight game against Stobart high school in Duck Lake before Christmas and remain undefeated for the season. The junior girls are also having an amazing season. They have been busy, travelling to tournaments as far away as Meadow Lake. At their own home tournament before Christmas, the "Tuff Turf Classic", the girls beat Waldheim 93-18, beat Clavet 68-6, but lost a really close one in the final against Warman 37-40. Players of the games for Delisle were: Sydney, Lauren, and Bailey. Looks to be an exciting spring for all of our DCS basketball teams!

Congratulations to the December Rebels of the Month. Senior rebel: Jeff Shirley, Junior rebel: Kristy Robichaud, and team rebel: Junior Boys Basketball.

Good luck to all students in the last few weeks of semester one, and for successful final exams!

It is hard to believe that we are nearing the end of December, and that New Years is right around the corner. The coming year promises many exciting events for students and adults alike of Pike Lake School and community.

Indeed we can already feel the anticipation and joy all around us as we look towards celebrating the 100th anniversary of Pike Lake School on Saturday, June 8, 2013.

In order to spread the word for the Pike Lake School Centennial Celebration we are excited to announce that the Pike Lake Community Facebook Page is now up and running. The Facebook page can be found be searching under "Pike Lake Saskatchewan." We encourage everyone who has an account with Facebook to "Like" the page. By doing so, it will show up on your page, and hopefully entice those who visit your page to check it out and perhaps "Like" it themselves. This a great way of branching out and connecting with as many people as possible whom have been a part of the history of Pike Lake School.

In hopes of raising money to put towards the cost of the Centennial Celebration, there will be a "Silent Auction" held at the Steak Night Fundraiser on Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. Pike Lake Community Hall.

Robin's Nest will be catering and tickets are available at the Pike Lake School and through School Community Members for $25.00. Your ticket includes supper and an entry into our main door prize draw. There will also be a 50/50 draw and a raffle draw on that night. If anyone would like to donate a prize to be auctioned off at this event, please feel free to contact the school. We would greatly appreciate any and all contributions!

As a final note, we will be having a bottle drive in January, and we would like to invite everyone to save their bottles over the holiday season to support the cost of the Pike Lake School Centennial Celebration. We will be collecting all refundable bottles at the school from Thursday, January 3rd to Friday January 18th. The Pike Lake School community would like to extend a sincere thank-you to all those who are able to support the efforts of the Centennial Committee to make the Centennial Celebration of Pike Lake School a tribute to the wonderful learning that has occurred over the one hundred years of education that has happened in Pike Lake School.

As we sign off for the year of 2012 all of the members of Pike Lake School would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. Once all the preparations are complete, we hope you have an opportunity to slow down and enjoy all the special moments, reflect on the year gone by and to delight in all the wonderful possibilities that the 2013 year could bring!

Dates to Remember: • Jan.3-Classes Resume • Jan.8-Opposite Dress Day/ Hot Meal • Jan.9-Jim Settee Presentation @1:00 p.m.

• Jan.14-No School for students • Jan.17-SCC Meeting at 3:30 p.m.

• Jan.27-Family Literacy Day • Jan. 31- Centennial Celebration Steak Night Fundraiser and Silent Auction 6:00 p.m.

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and stayed warm and healthy! Now it’s time to get back into the swing of things. December was a special month for the preschoolers. The 4-year olds had so much fun with the Kindergarten class practising their song for the Christmas Concert. Both classes did a fantastic job singing at the concert! The 4-year olds finished up their health theme talking about emotions and feelings and how to deal with them. They also learned about what happens during winter. Both groups made many Christmas crafts to learn about the colour red and the number 4. On our last day of school, the two classes joined together for a Christmas party where we sang Christmas songs, made Christmas crafts, played Christmas games, and had a special visit from both the Kindergarten class and the man in red himself!

January will find the classes learning about the number 5 and the colour white. The 4-year olds will have a lot of fun learning about the 5 senses and the 3-year olds will have an outdoor snow day (if the weather cooperates!) and an indoor day learning about the season of winter.

Until next month, stay warm!

Welcome to a new month and a new year! We hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. Our annual Christmas concert was held on December 18th and was once again a big success. The members of our Glee Club went on their tour on December 19th and did an excellent job, everyone had a great time.

Vanscoy band students performed at Lord Asquith School in the Prairie Spirit West Band concert and all represented our school very well. Students are still on the go with basketball, and they are having a successful season so far. The girls are hosting a basketball tournament on January 12th. The next few months are going to be filled with many exciting events.

Everyone is looking forward to what is to come.

KCRA Finals 2012 Steer Wrestling Champion ‘Rodeo is Alive and Well in our Community’

L

orne Knittig has grown up with horses his whole life. He began riding when he was three years old and has never looked back. He has always owned many horses and now keeps the tradition alive with his own family. When his daughter, Laura, took an interest in rodeo, specifically barrel racing, in 2005, Lorne found himself being drawn into the sport as well. As he supported his daughter by

taking her around the countryside to many rodeo events, he decided to get involved as well.

He began wrestling steers and has never been able to shake the bug. In the past 6 years Lorne has won a Pro Rodeo in Medicine Hat, Alberta as well as CCA rodeos in Pearson, Manitoba and Council, Saskatchewan.

Lorne suffered a neck injury during an event in 2011 and was forced to miss the rest of the season.

Last year he was back better than ever and by the end of the season had become the KCRA 2012 Steer Wrestling Champion.

Rodeo has become a big part of Lorne’s life, as it has for many people around our community.

“There are tremendous amount of people involved in rodeo, right here in our community”, says Knittig.”

“Just within the RM of Vanscoy area we likely have over 100 people that compete actively in

some way. I personally know of two steer wrestlers, four ropers, three bull riders and over 20 ladies that are barrel racers, like my daughter.”

Lorne’s daughter, Laura, has excelled in rodeo herself, qualifying for the Junior Girls Barrel Racing at the 2010 Canadian Western Agribition.

“I love that this is something I

can do with my daughter that involves us spending many quality hours together each year. How many dads

The Bidders’ Choice

get to say that?”

Lorne and Laura plan to be competing again in 2013.

Food for Thought Union Busting

T

he fate of the union movement in both Canada and the US is in question. Right wing governments, as a matter of political principal, work to diminish the power of unions. In some ways private sector unions have been the architects of their own fate through their antics and corruption during the peak influence of the auto workers and trucker’s unions.

Nevertheless, almost anyone with a smidgen of a sense of social justice will agree that the union movement has a

vital service to provide to society.

As for strikes, which are the principal annoyance to the general public, the trades and service unions are normally constrained unless severely provoked.

The same cannot be said of the public sector unions which can face down governments through their withdrawal of services which potentially can unseat the party in power.

The battle ground of the pro- and antiunion forces centers on such issues as right-to-work legislation which not only

C.M. (Red) Williams cuts the legs from under a union but bleeds away union dues. There is also the issue of unionizing a new company where the employer, the supporters and the anti-unionists jostle within the government regulations.

All sides would prefer some vote other than 50% plus one that would favour their interests.

Some employers and their employee’s union have found ways to work together to improve worker’s conditions as well as increasing productivity, as opposed to the usual

antagonistic situation that leads to confrontations.

Union busting is alive and well even in those countries that presume to be prime examples of democratic governance. Of course, some of the blame must go to unions that can’t see their employer’s gain benefits them.

Operation Santa says Thank You !

A

squith is a caring town, full of good neighbors.

The community of Asquith has proved it by their tremendous response to Operation Santa! Groceries, toys, knitted mitts and toques and cash donations were received, allowing Operation Santa to make Christmas and grocery hampers.

This year we provided hampers and groceries to TWELVE family units, in which there were 32 children. People who received the hampers have expressed thanks again and again. You met a physical need and touched many hearts!

Money received went directly to the hampers and was spent at local merchants.

We tried a few recipes but the best one, according to our horses, was: Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour 1 cup uncooked oats or bran 1 cup molasses 1 cup shredded apple 1 cup shredded carrot Note: Siana Ryan, one of our youngest members came up with the idea of adding some Christmas spirit into the cookies so we added a tiny bit of crushed candy canes.

Vanscoy Multiple 4-H Vanscoy Multiple 4-H had another meeting on November 26th.

During this meeting we covered how to make a motion, Rochelle Wright was nice enough to explain and give a demonstration about motions. Then members reported on what happened in the club the last month.

Vanscoy Multiple has volunteered to host the District 22 public speaking competition in late February. We helped out with the Vanscoy Ag Society Turkey Bingo in November. Vanscoy Multiple 4-H is going to organize a scavenger

hunt as part of the Ag Society Fair. We’re holding our Christmas party on December 15th at the Pike Lake Hall. We are holding our club public speaking competition on February 9th, 2013. We are going to be selling raffle tickets soon for our Easter raffle. First prize is a Wii U, second prize is a printed generously donated by Kim Rose, whose daughters are in the club, and the third prize is a big basket of Easter goodies.

Tickets will be available from any member.

That’s all from Vanscoy Multiple 4-H.

MLA REPORT

December 18, 2012 Randy Weekes, MLA With the Christmas season upon us, we are reminded time and again of how fortunate we are to call a place like Saskatchewan home. Ours is a province where you know your neighbours and you are there for them when they need you. We are known across the country for our rich tradition of volunteerism; helping those less fortunate.

As family and friends draw near, it is important we remember just how special this place we live in is.

2012 was another amazing year for Saskatchewan. The provincial economy remained one of the strongest in Canada.

Our government announced its fifth consecutive balanced

budget. We continued to make historic investments in the infrastructure a growing province needs – highways, schools and healthcare facilities.

We made further investments in programs and services important to you and your family – all within the context of a balanced budget.

23,000 more people now call our province home, pushing the population to an all-time high of 1,086,564.

Growth like that means we are well on our way to achieving one of the ambitious goals we set in the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth released this fall: a population of 1.2 million by 2020.

For our government, the Growth Plan was an important milestone. In it, we laid out our vision to keep Saskatchewan strong

and growing. We committed to investing a further $2.5 billion in infrastructure over the next three years, lowering business taxes and doubling the value of our exports by 2020.

The Growth Plan also outlined our government’s direction to improve healthcare and education, build growing and safe communities and improve the lives of people with disabilities.

The purpose of growth should be to build a better quality of life for all Saskatchewan residents. Our Growth Plan will do that.

Looking ahead to 2013, there are already positive indications. The latest economic outlook for next year suggests Saskatchewan’s will have the highest rate of growth in Canada. The most recent job numbers seem to support

Randy Weekes

that prediction – in November, 540,000 people were working in Saskatchewan; a new all-time high. Not only were there more people working, there also fewer people looking for work.

Reflecting on the past year, we are reminded how blessed we are to be living in Saskatchewan. As a government, we have taken action to ensure the benefits of growth are used to improve the quality of life for you and your family. With the New Year will come new challenges, but with your help and on the solid foundation provided by our Growth Plan, we are confident that Saskatchewan will continue to move forward.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

he Vanscoy & District Agricultural Society would like to take this opportunity to thank the Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies and Exhibitions (SAASE) and Sask Power for their sponsorship of the Clean Team Program.

This year we were able

to support the local youth group; The Vanscoy Multiple 4-H Club. This youth group participated in the Spring horticulture presentation and the Perennial Exchange, the Vanscoy & District Summer Fair, The Gymkhana and Light Horse Show, and the Christmas Turkey

Bingo. They helped with set up, clean up and take down as well as any other jobs they could help with. These youth were vital in maintaining the grounds and facility throughout the events.

The Vanscoy Multiple 4-H Club will be receiving a monetary amount to use for activities in

their clubs. The CleanTeam program is a three year program that will continue to support our youth as well as supply recycle and garbage barrels and T-shirts to our events. Thank you to both SAASE and Sask Power for this great collaborative program.

SK Sew Kleen Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) reports record sales of $8.8 billion in 2012 (December 19, 2012) -Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) achieved record sales of $8.8 billion during 2012, an increase of 7 per cent from the previous year. It also reported net earnings from operations of $827 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.

The Saskatoon-based company, owned by 230 retail co-op members across the West, experienced sales growth in all its strategic business sectors – energy, food, home and building supplies, crop supplies and feed.

“These are remarkable results given the increasing competition in the marketplace,” says CEO Scott Banda. “The success achieved is a credit to the founda-

tional investments made the past few years in maintaining our competitive advantage and the exceptional service provided by the 20,000 dedicated employees who work in the Co-operative Retailing System.”

Banda added, “For nearly a century, co-ops have built a reputation on being the local business that cares about our members, our community and our world.

By putting people’s needs at the forefront, demonstrating value, returning profits to our members, and supporting local causes, we continue to earn the trust and respect of our neighbours in the communities where we live and work.”

Of the $827 million in net earnings from oper-

ations, $527 million is being returned to FCL’s 230 retail ownermembers in the form of a patronage allocation.

The remainder of the earnings is retained in FCL to fund future growth initiatives and capital requirements.

During the past 10 years, FCL has provided a patronage allocation of $3.8 billion to its member retail coops. This money helps local retail co-ops pass along cash and equity allocations to the more than 1.5 million individual co-op members across Western Canada. Local retail coops also invest a portion of the FCL allocation in improved services and capital projects in 500 communities in Western Canada.

For its part, FCL invested $1.3 billion in capital projects in 2012, including: completion of the Co-op Refinery Complex Section V expansion in Regina; the continued expansion of the Saskatoon warehouse; and, construction of the new Carseland petroleum terminal near Calgary (scheduled for completion in 2013). In addition, FCL supported initiatives to upgrade hundreds of facilities such as food stores, gas bars, and home and building centres across Western Canada.

FCL is the largest nonfinancial services co-operative in Canada, with sales revenues that placed it as the 51st largest company in Canada in 2011.
