J

olene McLeay has been around dogs since she was a child. She got hooked on dogsledding at a young age and that is where her love of dogs came from.

Not surprising that she got interested in dog grooming and was hired at a Saskatoon shop. That was over 14 years ago. Jolene recently wanted to set her own hours, to be able to spend time with her kids. She chose to open a new shop were she lives, on a peaceful acreage between Vanscoy and Delisle. She wanted to open something special and cater to the customer that wants a bit more for their pooch. A dog spa was the answer.

Bark Place Pet Spa features natural shampoos suited for their skin and coat, environmentally safe products, top quality grooming equipment and a groomer that strives to continue her education and is currently working towards the top Masters certificate.

Located between two paved highways, just 20-25 minutes west of Saskatoon off highway 7, she is also close to Pike lake and Asquith .

Book now to give your dog a treat and a spa treatment. www.barkplacepetspa.com or check her out on Facebook and ''like'' her. She also offers a referral program.

Clean Team Program Supports Vanscoy 4-H

T

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 assist with. These youth were vital in maintaining the grounds and facility throughout the events. The Vanscoy Multi-

ple 4-H Club will be receiving a monetary amount to use for activities in their clubs. The Clean Team has completed a three year program that supported our youth as well as supplied recycle and garbage barrels and T-shirts to our events.

Thank you to both SAASE and Sask Power for this great collaborative program.

Free Trade

he December 16 copy of Bloomberg Business Week has a frightening article entitled.

“Farewell to the age of free trade”,

by Joshua Kurtantzick. It is frightening because Canada has recently “bet the farm” on our ability to expand exports on the back of free trade.

What has happened is that the global trade which was increasing is now stalled and in many case reversed into tight patterns controlled by preferred partners and trade agreements.

Some of the change is due to technical advances which make it not profitable to out-source; processes are contracting into single large plants with shortened plant runs. The effect is diminished trade,

C.M. (Red) Williams

particularly with the developing nations.

The side effects are trade tensions and irritation that lead to conflicts. Those developing nation that have depended on the expanded global trade for their further development will have internal adjustments and diminished incomes.

It is suggested that the trade agreements including the upcoming U.S-E.U. and Trans- Pacific Agreements will worsen the situation. The Canada-E.U. agreement may never make it to the finish line, after all the enthusiastic lead up. A step forward and one back in the long road to global trade and peace.

Containers must be curbside by 7am on the designated Thursday, alternating garbage and recycling. New residents who require a brochure outlining what can be placed in the bins should call the office for a copy.

Southwest Regional Water Utility

ack in April at the subscribers meeting you gave the committee direction to continue working on the water project and look for Gov. Grants. Over the past while we have been in contact and numerous letters sent on your behalf to elected members.

We have just been informed of the recently announced new program coming and full details will be announced shortly. The program is called New Build Canada Plan which is a shared program between the Federal Government and the Province Government which has been announced in the budget and is awaiting final detail.

New Building Canada Plan Economic Action Plan 2013 proposes to provide federal support of over $53 billion, including over $47 billion in new funding over 10 years, starting in 2014-15, for provincial, territorial and municipal infrastructure projects.

In preparation for this upcoming funding and grant application process we are now getting prepared to submit on your behalf an application for funding. As you can well understand it requires a number of things to get accomplished and to form part of this application. The predesign report that was presented to the subscribers in April from our engineers is a big part of the application.

Subscribers list will form another part of this application. This is the info that was taken from your original application or expression of interest that you filled out along with your deposit to become part of SWRWU. We now have to reconfirm with you that your information and your requests being the number of connections , volume and your intention to be part of this potable water supply system hasn’t changed.

If changes are required we need to be made aware of any changes being the number of connections , ownership or any other changes that you would like to advise us of. I have heard from a few of you earlier expressing desired changes which have been recorded.

That also brings us to the situation of those that haven’t signed up as a subscriber and are not a recorded subscriber. Once we make the application (early in 2014) for funding only those subscribers on the subscriber list will be eligible to receive funding assistance. Those who didn’t sign up will not be eligible and in fact will have to wait to be considered for connection at a later date in time. Non-subscribers will also be faced with paying full cost and any additional cost of engineering etc. So to be blunt and to the point you have a very short window to get an application and deposit into SWRWU otherwise you will be left out.

If you know someone that is interested but is still procrastinating you need to talk to them and convince them to get on board.

Other documents that will form part of our application are -Updated Subscriber Map -Letters of support -Supply Agreement with Saskwater -Expression of interest for Financial Institution Pre Design Report -Subscriber Lists We don’t want to miss this opportunity and we want to be ready to be one of the first applications submitted once the call for applications comes out. We have no time for procrastination or weed sitting. Now is the time to take action and that includes the subscribers as well as the committee and engineers.

As you can see progress is being made, it might seem to be taking longer than one would like but the resent announcement was great news. It’s almost the best Christmas present that an adult could receive.

PIkE LAkE SCHOOL

PIkE LAkE PRESCHOOL

Oh the weather outside is frightful but the learning at Pike Lake School is still delightful. In an attempt to stay warm in our long Saskatchewan winter, the students and staff are working hard learning in our classrooms, to stay warm. We’ve also been having a lot of indoor recesses lately. Hopefully the weather will improve and we can get back to outdoor recesses. Thanks to our staff, parents, and students for making Pike Lake School the great place that it is even in the dog days of winter.

Speaking of the weather, although many of us feel frustrated towards the weather there is a student at Pike Lake School who has decided to make our weather a focal point for his studies in the Grade Four this year. Indeed Paul has decided to create a weather blog to track and inform the public about the weather. Please feel free to check out Paul’s Weather Blog on the internet. Paul is excited to share his love of weather and would appreciate your comments and suggestions! http://blogs.spiritsd.ca/thatweatherguy/ Once again our small school did their part in helping to take care of Mother Earth! Our school has recycled 123 phonebooks for recycling this year! We would like to thank the SaskTel Pioneers for providing incentives and encouragement to collect the phonebooks, which help green up our environment! The students actually see how many phonebooks get recycled from our school and are amazed when they load them up in the truck to take for recycling! Thanks to all who have contributed to this worthy program and look forward to having you support us next year!

Welcome to 2014! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. December was an incredible month at preschool. We had so much fun making Christmas crafts to learn about red and Christmas. The 4-year olds even experimented in the kitchen again, making rice krispie Christmas treats! The kids sang their best at the concert. I have to say that their singing was probably the loudest I’ve heard any of my preschool classes ever sing! We finished up December by combining the classes for a Christmas party complete with crafts, snacks, singing, and gifts and a visit from Santa.

After a great holiday, it’s back to school again. We have 3 new students starting this January, so the first day back will be getting them acquainted with the rules and routines of the preschool. I’m hoping to go on a field trip with the 4 year olds to the dinosaur museum at the U of S and the 3 year olds will have a special Teddy Bear Day. Both classes will learn about the number 5 and the colour white. Stay warm!

Looking towards our future, as always Pike Lake School, continues to work on the projected enrolment for our school. We are presently working on next year’s enrolment for Kindergarten. Children who are five years of age as of December 31 of the school year (2014) may be admitted to kindergarten.

PSSD Policy No. 403.2.a. If you have a student or know of one that will be attending Pike Lake School in the fall of 2014, phone number, please send us their name address and date of birth. You may call Mrs. Dumanski @ (306)668-4808 or email at claire.tarala @spiritsd.ca.

Moreover if you know of any families in our community and area that may have young children who will attend Pike Lake School within the next five years, please let us know. Or even better drop by the school for a tour!

Thanks for your assistance in helping Pike Lake School as we look forward to continuing the fine tradition of helping students to reach their full potential as they are encouraged in our unique and beautiful community to work hard at academics, to be environmental conscientious, and to be respectful towards one another.

AGRICULTURE REPORTS Dwayne Summach Regional Livestock Specialist

Over 200 samples of forage harvested across the province in 2013 were collected earlier this fall by regional forage and livestock specialists. The purpose was to gather forage quality data for the upcoming winter feeding period. Most samples were collected from the first cut harvest except for five samples of second cut alfalfa.

The samples collected were assigned to one of four categories: · Alfalfa Legume Hay = 35 · Alfalfa Legume – Grass Hay = 126 · Grass Hay = 17 · Annual Crop, Greenfeed = 24 The chemical analysis of the forages was evaluated against their John Ippolito Regional Crop Specialist The past couple of growing seasons have been frustrating for pulse growers in the province with a higher incidence of root rots on both peas and lentils. Part of the explanation for higher incidence of root rots and root rot like symptoms has been higher rainfall.

Pulse crops are not very tolerant to saturated soils and even 5 days of growing in saturated soils can have a negative impact on plant health.

This has been partially responsible for depressed yields and poor crop health in both peas and lentils.

In 2013 larger numbers of samples submitted to the Crop Protection Lab were diagnosed as having root rots caused by a complex of pathogens.

These pathogens were Fusarium species, Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium species. These fungi are difficult to deal with in that they are soil

2013 Forage Quality Survey Highlights

ability to meet the energy requirements of cows six months pregnant in minus 25 degrees Celsius.

Thirty-eight per cent of all the forages sampled met this requirement.

Only twenty-nine per cent of the alfalfa, and alfalfa grass hays provided adequate energy, while seventy-seven per cent of the grass hays and seventy-five percent of the greenfeed did so. Four months down the road, it will be getting warmer, the cows will have calved, but the increased nutrient demands of lactation means less than five percent of the sampled forages would provide adequate energy.

The reality is that approximately two-thirds

of this year’s forage produced to winter the beef herd will require energy supplementation. The only way to know if the forage you are using is adequate is to have it tested and evaluated against the requirements for the class of livestock being fed. If supplemental energy is required, the amount can be determined using ration balancing software, such as CowBytes, available from Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development.

For additional information regarding forage analysis and evaluation contact your Ministry of Agriculture Regional Livestock Specialist.

Root Rot in Pulse Crops borne and have a wide range of hosts including other broadleaf crops such as canola.

In 2012 Aphanomyces root rot was also identified in samples of pulse crops from a couple of fields in Saskatchewan.

This is a new finding for Saskatchewan but given the large distance between these fields it is suspected that it is more widespread than we think. This disease is specific to field peas but can infect some species of faba beans as well.

One of the characteristics of this disease in field peas is caramel colored roots.

Control of root rots in pulse crops is not easily achieved. Seed treatments are effective against root rot fungi but only for 3 to 4 weeks after planting. Root rot infections often occur later in the growing season. Seed treatments

are not effective against Aphanomyces. Crop rotations of 4 to 5 years between peas are recommended for Aphanomyces. Crop rotations with cereals are recommended for the other root rot pathogens.

Producers should try and seed when soils have had an opportunity to dry out and warm up. Avoid seeding into compacted and saturated soils that may contribute to poor plant growth. Residue management during the previous harvest may also provide some benefit through not having saturated soils under heavy residue.

For more information on root rots in pulse crops refer to the Pea Production Manual and Lentil Production Manual produced by the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers.

Extending your Grazing Season with Crop Residues

Crop residue is chaff and straw from annual cereal, pulse, and oilseed crops. When collected and bunched into piles and fed in the field you extend your grazing season. Conventional winter feeding cows in a feed yard is expensive, calculated to be $1.75/head/day or up to 60 per cent of the total cash costs of maintaining a cow herd. These costs include the costs of harvesting, handling and transporting the feed to the cow then removing the manure from the pen after. Crop residues are a by-product of the grain crop you have produced so other than the system to collect it there is little additional cost to produce the feed. I feel using chaff and straw as a feed resource is often overlooked. As an added benefit, research at the Western Beef Development Centre at Lanigan has shown that a higher level of nitrogen is recycled and returned to the soil when livestock are fed in the field. This is in comparison to feeding the cows in confinement then hauling the manure to the field.

There are several collection systems which will collect just chaff or both chaff and straw together. One simple design is a chaff box.

The box is built and mounted at the back of the combine. It is counterweighted to automatically dump 20-25 pound piles. These piles generally are 8-12 inches high and four feet long. For plans to build a chaff box go to our “Crop Residue Collection for Field Grazing” factsheet on our website at www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca. Estimated cost to build this chaff box including both materials and labor was $500.00 at the time of writing this factsheet.

Another system is the

“Whole Buncher” system. It is mounted at the back of your combine and automatically trips and deposits 4060 pound piles of feed.

It collects both straw and chaff together.

These piles are approximately three feet high and five feet long. The Whole Buncher is patented and sold by AJ Manufacturing in Alberta.

The feed value of crop residues depends greatly on the grain crop you collect the residue from and the conditions during which you harvested this residue (i.e. how much grain and cracked grain you include in the chaff and straw). Feed test the residue material and plan the feeding accordingly. If possibly limit the cattle to only the feed they will consume in a 3 day period.

Depending on weather conditions during feeding and what levels of nutrients are in the residue feed you may have to supplement this residue feed with a little grain or hay.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Canadian Forage and Grassland Association Conference and Tour based in Olds, Alberta.

On the tour we visited several different ranches. One ranch, operated by Scott and Terrie Copley uses a straw and chaff buncher. Scott has found that with strawchaff bunches the straw and chaff are mixed in the pile. This forces the cattle to consume both chaff and straw together, not just chaff that is laid on top of the windrow with a different collection system. The piles are large enough that the cattle find them even through snow cover and small enough that they clean them up well so next year’ s seeding is not impeded.

Scott estimates, for his

operation located around Airdrie Alberta, this extensive feeding system saves him about $100.00 per acre.

This saving is based on costs like fuel, labor, land and equipment costs he would incur if he was using traditional dry lot feeding for his cow herd. Scott and Terrie also feel their cows are in “better physical shape” after walking and foraging in the residue fields during the winter so they have an easier time during the calving season.

For more information on the benefits and savings from Crop Residue Collection for Field Grazing go to our website at www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca, or contact John Hauer, Regional Forage Specialist, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture at the Kindersley Regional Office.

MLA REPORT

December 18, 2013 Randy Weekes, MLA Provincial Population Higher Than Ever Before Saskatchewan is the place to be – just ask the 5,867 new residents who decided to move to the province in July, August and September. Our provincial population has grown by 19,797 over the last year, reaching a record 1,114, 170. Among the provinces, only Alberta had higher population growth.

More and more people see Saskatchewan as one of the best places in Canada to live, work and play. These people are international immigrants as well as those relocating from places like British Columbia, Ontario, New Brunswick, Alberta and Quebec. There are also a lot of babies born in Saskatchewan.

Continued population and economic growth is expected in 2014. Meanwhile, our government remains on track to meet our growth plan goal of 1.2 million people by 2020.

Come See Saskatchewan.ca It is now easier than ever before to find the information you need. If you’re looking to relocate, change careers, learn about government programs, services or simply find something fun to do, you can get it all on the new Government of Saskatchewan website – Saskatchewan.ca.

This user-friendly website, which is

compatible with tablets and smartphones, is designed to improve access to information and services.

Using the headings “Live,” “Work,” “Play” and “Government,” this website is organized by Saskatchewan people’s interests rather than by government ministries. This change also reflects what Saskatchewan has to offer visitors, potential investors and future residents.

Analytics are also used to track and promote frequently visited pages like the Highway Hotline, SaskJobs.ca and where to find day care so the most sought after information can be highlighted and kept current. Over the coming year, government will continue to transition content and services from gov.sk.ca to Saskatchewan.ca. Both will operate until the transition is complete.

Powerful Voices For Change The health and well-being of Saskatchewan people is vital. With an estimated one in five experiencing a mental health or addictions problem, our government understands it has a role to improve the services currently offered. We are currently seeking feedback to form a Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan. So far, over 2,600 responses have been submitted at http://www.health.gov.sk.ca/powerful-voice.

Using a confidential questionnaire, we’re encouraging Saskatchewan people to share stories, experiences

These results, as well as results from other consultations including focus groups, in-person interviews and other meetings, will help inform development of an Action Plan for Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship Nearly 13,000 Saskatchewan students have now taken advantage of a Saskatchewan-made scholarship.

Through the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship, current Grade 12 graduates who enroll at a Saskatchewan post-secondary institution are provided with a scholarship of up to $500 per year to a lifetime maximum of $2,000. Students even have up to 10 years to

use the benefit.

To support our province’s growth, we need to ensure that more of our students are entering post-secondary education, completing their training and connecting to jobs in the Saskatchewan economy. The Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship helps make post-secondary education more affordable and accessible for students. Since the scholarship was first put into place in 2012, the province has provided more than $6.4 million to help thousands of students pursue post-secondary education.

Since 2008, our government has invested $4.6 billion in our post-secondary institutions and students.

This includes the Graduate Retention Program which provides up to a $20,000 refundable and non-refundable tax credit for graduates who live in Saskatchewan.

Amazing Space

A

Submitted by Kellie Walton

fter a very busy holiday season full of family and friends, let's take a minute to appreciate an amazing local space.

There is a very special corner in the town of Delisle. At the corner of First Street West and Second Avenue, a group of local senior citizens, plus a few other town residents, take a great deal of time and energy to create a unique space.

This corner lot has been used as a set for grad and wedding photos (plus a few girls night out photo shoots).

Volunteers spend many hours gathering decorations and props to make this little corner special.

This corner has been decorated for many occasions; it is never empty.

In the spring there are baskets bursting with flowers. Fall brings us pumpkins, corn and the fruits of a bountiful harvest from local gardens. That's not all, the corner is also decorated for Valentine’s Day, St. Paddy’s day, the Olympics, and the list goes on and on. I drive past this corner everyday on my way to work and each day it makes me smile! It's always interesting to see what they come up with next.

I have spoken to a few of the people involved in keeping this creative corner going and here is what they had to say.

Gail Mantyka, owner of Little Bit of Country, says they enjoy coming up with new ideas, and collecting new items to add to the display each time. When asked how they fund such a project she told me that they use the "Baking Fund".

The Baking Fund, a great idea, works like this. The ladies from town attend coffee row at Little Bit of Country takes turns bringing baking. Customers

may purchase this baking for $0.50 apiece.

The proceeds from the sale of baked goods go towards purchasing some of the items for the corner display.

It can take some time for the baking fund to grow at $.50 a muffin, and as such, donations are gratefully accepted too!. In the past they have received donations from local people, some donations in the form of cash others in the way of decorations that people were no longer using.

I asked Cathy Shackleton, a local resident, how they came up with the ideas for the corner display. Cathy says they discuss ideas over coffee and then pick a date and time. Everyone comes and pitches in to get the old display down and the new display up.

Gail and Cathy told tell me this level of collaboration isn’t big deal, however, I disagree!

Having this corner display go on throughout the year takes many hours of planning and hard work.

The ladies tell me that one of the largest contributors is Mary Orchard. Not only does the Orchard family own the corner property where the Amazing Space is located, Mary spends many hours planning the displays, searching out decorations, and growing the beautiful baskets that gardeners in town are envious of.

All of this work is done by local seniors, using a baking fund to pay for electricity and decorations! Local volunteers are doing this for the simple reason that they love it. Their effort is a big deal that is greatly appreciated by area residents!

In the years that this display has been running, it has suffered vandalism only once.

The volunteers involved in creating the display were saddened by this, and local residents were shocked.

However the culprits

were found, and assisted in the cleanup and redecorating process. This showed the vandals how much time and effort goes into this little corner.

A sure sign of this corner lot display’s popularity is that people are always speculating when the new display will go up and what it will be.

I think it's wonderful that Delisle has this great little space! People from our community lovingly care for it and make it a beautiful space to visit, take pictures, and visit just to relax with a book.

If you would like to donate to this ongoing project please contact Gail Mantyka at Little bit of Country. They are always looking for volunteers to help.

Other local events happening in our community include the Concert Series being held at the United Church January 24th 7:30pm featuring Sylvia and Friends.

Tickets for the Concert Series are $15 at the door. You may purchase tickets for the entire series for $40.

Please contact Sylvia Chave for additional information or to purchase tickets.

Do you have an artist in your house? Would you like to be an artist?

We are hosting a discovery art class with local artist Kevin Hastings. This class is open to artists age 10yrs through adult. The class registration fee is $70 and will be held at Vanscoy School Tuesday evenings Starting January 21-February 11 at 6:30pm.
