Asquith Fire Department & First Responders Thankful for Sponsors Support of Pig Roast Supper & Auction Fundraiser

Asquith Fire Department and First Responders Volunteers

he Asquith Fire Department, in conjunction with the Asquith First Responders, hosted their second Pig Roast Supper and Auction on April 12, 2014. The fundraising event was held at the Twilight Hall and featured a beautifully prepared roast pig for supper followed by a live auction. Auction items, as well as monetary donations, were contributed by local (and not so local) businesses, organizations, groups and people. The response from our sponsors in support of the Asquith Fire Department/Asquith First Responder’s fundraising initiatives was, and always has been, overwhelming and humbling. The men and women of the Asquith Fire Department and the Asquith First Responders are very appreciative

of the support shown towards our organizations and would like to take this time to extend a very heartfelt thank you to all of the sponsors. With the help of so many willing sponsors, the evening was an unprecedented success and will help our organizations in their efforts to purchase some of the rescue equipment identified as a priority by our groups. The list of priority rescue equipment is provided to inform the public of the costs associated with emergency response provided by fire departments/first responders. If you, or your organization, would be interested in sponsoring any of the tools identified in our equipment list please contact the Asquith Town Office at 306-329-4770.

has also been able to develop a new residential neighborhood with plans to expand it. “I remember the first ball game that I played in Vanscoy was in 1957 ”, says Robert, “and I wouldn’t have imagined then, that I would have spent the time on council that I have”. His resignation will trigger a by-election in the Village which is slated to be held this coming September.

“Father’s Day Wish ”

n recent years I have found it harder to survive each coming winter, but no surprise I guess, as I am now zooming into my fifties. But now I also find that surviving the coming summers is starting to get harder as well. Though I am turning 53 this summer, I am blessed with a young 14 year old son that has been pulling me into all sorts of summer fun activities this year. These are all things I have always like doing, but since my thirties I have not done as many, and certainly not as much of them, but I eagerly jumped at the chance for some father-son bonding this summer. So during the past winter months I have been booking campsites & tee times, buying boat, fishing & trailer licenses and first thing this spring I bought a bike rack, canoe, paddles, life jackets, fishing tackle, golf balls and many other things to get us set-up for the best summer ever !! But before we head out on these many planned adventures, I should try all these new things out by going on a nice short 2 night camping / fishing / golfing trip to Riverhurst. So I spent a few days cleaning the camper, installing the new bike rack and testing how the new canoe loaded to make sure everything would fit and work as planned. It all looked good... so I unloaded it all. A week later I loaded it all back up and headed out. Once there I again unloaded the canoe, bikes, clubs, etc... then I set-up the tent camper again ! Exhausted, I slept like a baby that night, and the next morning embarked on 18 holes of golf. Exhausted, I returned to the campsite where our good friends cooked us a bbq steak dinner, after which I promptly slept like a baby again. The next morning I again loaded up the club, canoe, bikes and camper and drove over to Elbow to go fishing, where I again unloaded the canoe, paddles and life jackets and dragged it all to the water. Exhausted, I sat in the canoe, gently floating, thinking of how nice a nap would be. The fishing was short lived, the paddling was extensive, and once back to shore... I loaded it all up yet again. We arrived home late that afternoon. Exhausted, I fell onto the couch, and promptly slept like a baby till morning. It has now been a week and I have yet to do the final unloading from that trip !

A big thank you to all those businesses who contributed to the grand prize in the Mother's Day contest through the RM Review! The prizes were great and so was the meal at Robin's Nest. Also a thank you to Ken for running the contests and providing such an informative paper.......Pat Trask

By the way son, I know what I want for Father’s Day this year... a long nap ! Ken Sowter - Editor

The entertainment is non-stop under the festival’s main stage, the Roof, with music and dance features that run from noon to midnight. Day time features a series of short performances from Saskatchewan’s up and coming talent and the Fiddle Contest, while in the evening accomplished fiddle players and dancers convene on our stage for unforgettable displays of mastery. To close out the night, audiences are invited to flood the dance floor for an old-time dance. Workshops, workshops and more workshops! There are over 100 workshops on offer at the Fest, and they are all free with gate admission!

DELISLE COMPOSITE SCHOOL

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL

Another month has come and gone and it’s already June! Yes, the end of the school year has come once again and summer is right around the corner. With summer comes warm weather, which I know everyone is extremely excited for! We apologize for not putting this in sooner but we would like to congratulate everyone who participated in Heritage Fair. Provincials will be held in June and we wish you the best of luck. The winners were: Rhys Murphy, Connor Justus, Meagan Kielo (moving on to Provincials), Real Landry, Jerzy Orchard, Ryan Olson, and Miaya Middleton. A new set of intramurals have begun in the gymnasium and we encourage everyone to come out and support our floor hockey teams! As well, track and field is well under way and we would like to congratulate everyone who has competed, you have made our school proud! There will be no spirit days this month but there’s more to come next year! June also holds the annual Colour Night on June 11, and we look forward to seeing everyone there. As this is the last month of the school year, on behalf of the SRC, I would like to say congratulations to the class of 2014 and we hope you all succeed in your plans for after high school! You all have had some of the best teachers to guide your way to adulthood and you all have every chance for success. Remember, in order to succeed your desire for success must be greater than your fear of failure. As we look forward to next year, we would like to invite students and parents to our welcome back BBQ that will be held on September 4. This has been an annual event held at the Elementary School and we will be joining with them in the fall. Please watch for further details in June.

We are in the final month of preschool. I know I say this every year, but I can't believe the end of another year is here! May has been such a different and fun month. We have had a few extra-long days to make up for the time I was away in the winter and we've been able to spend a lot of time outdoors. Both groups of students have handled these days quite well, although quite differently! The 3-year olds started off the month making play-dough. We then made some pot-pourie wreaths for Mother's Day and a caterpillar out of 9 circles for Number 9 Day. We also tried purple footprint unicorns for Purple Day, although some of the kids didn't want their feet painted. The 4-year olds started off their month with a visit from some baby chicks. The students loved holding and petting the chicks and then made a handprint and footprint chick to go with the theme. These students also made pot-pourie wreaths for Mother's Day. We started a safety theme and learned how to be safe in our homes and on the farm, as well as what to do in case of a fire. I am also hoping to get a police officer to the school to teach us more safety. The 4-year olds had a lot of fun with bubbles one day, made pizza another day, and made some interesting-looking purple footprint unicorns on Purple Day. They also spent some time in the Kindergarten classroom playing and they planted grass seed in egg cups with the Kindergartens, grade ones and twos. June, of course, brings us to our last month. We will be learning about the colour blue and the number 10, as well as continuing to practice our graduation songs. Graduation will be on Tuesday, June 17th at 10am downstairs in the hall. We had our registration last week and the numbers look good for next year 7 4-year olds and 5 3-year olds. If you have a child who will be 3 or 4 by December 31st, 2014 and toilet-trained, please call Wendy Schoonbaert at 306978-8164 to register your child for preschool. Have a wonderful and warm June! 3-year old days: 5, 12, 17 4-year old days: 3, 6, 10, 13, 17 Colour: blue Number: 10

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL Nicer temperatures have arrived and Pike Lake School has been taking every chance we can get to go outside and enjoy nature. Our school has taken on the 30 X 30 nature challenge where we have attempted to spend thirty minutes outside learning for all of the 30 days in May. As usual the beautiful area of Pike Lake has allowed for many rewarding educational experiences. Recently, all Pike Lake students had the chance to walk down to the Pike Lake Provincial Park to take part in a naturalist afternoon, which included the opportunity to do some pond dipping. A great time as well al lot of learning was experienced by all. A big thank you to everyone who came out for our Math Night on Thursday, May 1st. The evening was a good opportunity for parents to learn and take part in understanding the way we our teaching our students math. The night was focused on highlighting the benefits of our math program as well as supporting parents to feel more confident when helping their children at home with math. Thank you to the SCC for providing the funding to feed our guests.

Activity Destinations OASIS GOLF RESORT The backdrop for The Oasis is the eastern slopes of the Bear Hills. It gives way to the great outwash prairie and paints a unique backdrop. To the west is the rugged terrain of the hills, to the east, the flat of the great Saskatchewan prairie carved by Lake Van Scoy that is home to thousands of Canada Geese the odd Whooping Crane and Bald Eagles during the fall and spring migration. The south view is flanked by CPR tracks that wind through the ever-changing panorama of the Canadian prairie and now, to the north is the expanse of the golf course itself. Situated on a hill, the clubhouse sits like a grand beacon surveying the grandeur in all directions. All this splendor can be found a short 33-minute drive west of Saskatoon on Highway 14. The Oasis golf course has been built by the designer, Glen Campbell. The course features massive bent grass greens (some are over 17,600 FT) and tees, six water hazards and one of Saskatchewan's largest sand bunkers. The course is a playable par 72 6,943 yards from the black tees, 6,373 yards from the gold tees and 5,887 yard blue tree and 5209 from the white tees. The avid golfer will enjoy the challenge of The Oasis and the weekend warriors will love it! This is a serene course, a place to get away from it all. The Oasis offers a challenging 18-hole course, and an environment to cater to your every need. It has a fully-stocked pro shop. The restaurant, Jim's on 14, promises meals to excite your palate and its licensed 2,200 square foot terrace offers an unparalleled view overlooking the course and the everchanging prairie sky. A mere hundred years ago on this land, the buffalo roamed at will.

PIKE LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK

EAGLE CREEK REGIONAL PARK

Pike Lake Provincial Park is 20 minutes from Saskatoon and a million miles from the city. Pike Lake is a recreation park characterized by aspen, poplar and Manitoba maple groves; manicured lawns with two picnic areas close to the main beach; desert-like sand dunes a short hike away and a popular outdoor pool with a waterslide. Add to this a diverse array of plants and wildlife owing to its location on a flood plain of the South Saskatchewan River and you can see why Pike Lake Provincial Park offers a delightful change of pace for people wishing to recharge their batteries without having to travel for hours. Pike Lake is a shallow body of water that's called an "oxbow" - it's a loop of the South Saskatchewan River that became cut off from the main channel. A barrier-free trail that starts at the main beach and runs southward to the creek that feeds the lake includes observation decks that provide a good view of the aquatic life and waterfowl in the vicinity. A 1.5km nature trail that begins at the interpretive centre, meanwhile, provides a fine opportunity to experience the surprisingly diverse ecosystems contained within this small park.

Eagle Creek Regional Park is located on the picturesque Eagle Creek, nestled down in a verdant valley of trees and foliage. The park is a jewel in the crown of the surrounding area, and offers year round fun for the whole family. The park has electrified and non-electrified sites, a church and a hall for weddings and anniversaries, a nine-hole golf course, a water spray park, playground equipment, a new washroom/shower house and a new floating dock for swimmers. Beach volleyball can also be enjoyed at the park. A riding arena is also available, and bull riding and trail rides have been held in the past.

he technology that is currently available to producers has never been more sophisticated. In the past 2 decades we have gone from yield monitors on combines with no GPS capability to fully integrated systems on seeding, spraying and harvesting equipment that can record rates and link to exact locations in the field. This can now be used to record rates of applied products as well as the resulting harvested yields. This capability creates information that can be of greater value in terms of future farm business management decisions. The amount of data available now is extremely large, so collection and management of the data has now become a specialized skill with the collection often being done wirelessly to a service provider. As we move down this path producers may wish to ask questions along the

Creating Value from your Data

lines of who owns the data, privacy of data and is it movable should you wish to change service providers. Data has no value unless it is used in such a way that it assists in changing actions that ultimately result in increased productivity, efficiency, profitability or assists in management of risk. This involves a process of collecting data and analyzing the data into information that you can then use to make decisions. As a result producers should be thinking about what data is important to them and how they wish to use the data to change practices. Individual producers will have access to large amounts of data from their farm alone, but there may be real opportunities to change practices more rapidly with others that are using similar practices. As an example a producer testing a seed variety will see how it works on their farm by using

their own data. However a number of producers with the same test can learn more about how it performs under different environmental conditions and management by sharing the information. This may be an activity that requires some organization among peers and can be done through a service provider or other external party. Again privacy and control of the information may be part of the discussion at the outset of such activities. Data collection and management decisions based on this information is just starting to be adopted. Look for things to change rapidly in the next couple of years. Maybe you wish to be involved in some sort of organization that facilitates sharing of data? The first step is to talk with some of the people that are providing data management services and see if it has potential on your farm.

The Shrinking Stack

pring is slowly arriving and the feed stacks are quickly disappearing. Once the pairs are in the pasture, time will fly by and haying season will soon be upon us. It is important to consider your end of feed season inventory and evaluate against your intended plan. While forage stored in the stack will deteriorate over time, the practise of carrying over 25 to 50 per cent of next years feed requirements is an excellent management practise in regions where feed production is highly variable year to year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also known as the Palliser triangle. When winter stays longer, it is good to know that the feed is already made and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be sourced elsewhere. Yet once the carryover is eaten, it is no longer available for next year. Building up those feed reserves can happen in a single year, but

so can their disappearance. Another factor that often eats into the feed reserves is the expansion mode. The feed is already made so we can keep five per cent more replacement heifers, which turn into more bred heifers and larger requirements for stored feed. Fundamentally we know that we need to make more feed to keep more animals, but the temptation to whittle the pile down is pretty easy to succumb to. On an operation that produces and uses 1000 bales per winter and starts the feeding season with 1300 bales (30 per cent carryover), it will only take an extra 30 bales the first year to carry the five per cent extra replacement heifers, reducing the carryover to 270 bales. A normal haying season happens and 1000 bales get made for a starting inventory of 1270 bales. The following year, those extra bred heifers

now require 45 bales, plus another larger replacement heifer group is retained requiring 30 bales for an increased total demand of 75 bales. After feeding the regular herd plus those few extras, the feed inventory is down to 195 bales at the end of the winter feeding season. Then comes the hiccup - a dry spring reduces hay yields by 10 per cent. Starting inventory for the third winter is 195 bales from last year and 900 made this year. The herd has grown so that demand is now going to be 1120 bales for the winter. A quick calculation indicates that you will come up 25 bales short for the third feeding season. Not insurmountable but it certainly shows how 30 per cent extra inventory can be reduced to none. For further discussion contact your Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Regional Livestock Specialist.

s seeding progresses, it is important to keep in mind that several insect pests could pose a threat to canola production in the Western Provinces. For instance, flea beetles overwinter as adults and are one of the first insects to move into an emerging canola field. Keeping this in mind, it could be beneficial to use an insecticide/fungicide seed treatment combination. Late seeding can sometimes increase the risks of insect damage occurring in canola fields. Since seeding is occurring a little later this year, other practices can be used for protection against insect pests such as increasing the seeding rates or direct seeding into stubble. The most important step for defense is to scout the fields throughout the season especially during the seedling stages. For example, the action threshold for flea beetles on canola is 25% of cotyledon leaf area con-

Flea Beetles in Canola

sumed. The traditional symptoms of flea beetle damage in canola include shot-hole feeding and girdling of young stems. The pinched-like symptom of young stems can occur during unfavorable temperatures (i.e. wind, cooler temperatures, precipitation) so it is essential to monitor for damage closer to the soil surface. If treated seed is not used or is not successful in protecting the field, a foliar-applied insecticide may be used. It is also important to note that there are many other insects that can impact yield and health of canola plants later in the growing season. Some of these insects include the bertha armyworm, diamondback moth, cabbage seedpod weevil and wireworms. Information on economic thresholds and different control methods for each pest can be found on the Saskatchewan Agriculture Ministry website or 2014 Guide to Crop Protection.

Justice for Animals in Service Act

Last week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the introduction of the Justice for Animals in Service Act (Quanto’s Law). This legislation will ensure that those who harm law enforcement, service and Canadian Armed Forces animals face serious consequences. Our Government recognizes the special role that these animals play in protecting our communities and improving the quality of life of Canadians. The proposed legislation is aimed at denouncing and deterring the wilful harming of specially trained animals used to help law enforcement officers, persons with disabilities or the Canadian Armed Forces. The introduction of this legislation fulfills a commitment made by our Government in the 2013 Speech from the Throne to recognize the daily risks taken by police officers and their service animals in their efforts to enforce the law and protect Canadians and communities. The legislation honours Quanto, a police dog who was stabbed to death while helping to apprehend a fleeing suspect in Edmonton, Alberta, in October 2013. Quanto had four years of decorated service and had participated in more than 100 arrests. Quick Facts:  The legislation proposes Criminal Code amendments that would create a new offence specifically prohibiting the injuring or killing of animals trained and being used to help law enforcement officers, persons with disabilities or the Canadian Armed Forces.  Persons convicted of such an of-

fence could face up to five years’ imprisonment, with a mandatory minimum sentence of six months in prison in cases where a law enforcement animal is killed while assisting a law enforcement officer in enforcing the law and the offence is prosecuted by indictment.  If a law enforcement officer is assaulted or a law enforcement animal is injured or killed while on duty, the sentence for that offence would be served consecutively to any other sentence imposed on the offender arising out of the same event.  The RCMP currently has 157 police service dogs in service across Canada: 135 are general duty profile dogs and 22 are detection profile dogs. They are used to help find lost persons, track criminals, and search for items such as narcotics, explosives and crime scene evidence. In addition to the RCMP, provincial and municipal police services across Canada have integrated police service dogs as part of their everyday service delivery in our communities.  Canada Border Services

Agency has 53 dog-and-handler teams that help to detect contraband drugs and firearms, undeclared currency, and food, plant and animal products.  Correctional Services Canada uses dogs to help stop the flow of illicit drugs and contraband into federal correctional institutions. They have over 100 dogand-handler teams across Canada.  The Justice for Animals in Service Act (Quanto’s Law) applies to law enforcement animals, service animals and Canadian Armed Forces animals. In practical terms, dogs would be the primary animals protected by this new legislation given they are the animals most often trained and used to assist law enforcement officers and persons with disabilities. However, horses are also used by some police forces. Also other kinds of animals can be trained as service animals to assist people with disabilities.

MLA REPORT

May 21, 2014 Randy Weekes, MLA

Today,

Saskatchewan is home to more people, more activity and more opportunities than ever before. This is reflected in our province’s unemployment rate of 3.4 per cent – the lowest in all of Canada, less than half of the national average and our lowest level ever on record. Our strong and growing economy is driven by the contributions of a diverse and growing population. This growth means we can deliver a balanced budget while still making the important investments needed to ensure Saskatchewan is a great place to live, work and play. Our government’s seventh consecutive balanced budget and continued investments in infrastructure and people were the highlights of the spring session of the Legislative Assembly. Some of the investments and new initiatives announced during the spring session include the new Regina Bypass project, a commitment to a new Saskatoon commuter bridge, passing lanes and twinning projects on a number of Saskatchewan highways, a new Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford and the renewal of Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert. Our government is committed to education and, to that end, we are building nine new joint-use schools in Regina, Saskatoon, Warman and Martensville; we’re investing in upgrades to bandwidth to increase internet speeds in schools and we’re investing in 1,000 new training seats and doubling the funding for initiatives to improve education and employment outcomes for First Nations and Métis people. Our government is also investing in infrastructure that includes a new Trades and Technology Centre in Yorkton, continued construction at Southeast Regional College in Weyburn and the Health Sciences Centre at the U of S in Saskatoon.

These are only some of the projects introduced or funded this session that will keep Saskatchewan on the path of steady growth. With the spring session now behind us, my colleagues and I get back to our home constituencies to focus on our most important work – listening to and representing our constituents. This feedback is essential as it helps to form our government’s priorities moving forward. One of our ongoing priorities is providing support for those who need it and the Discounted Bus Pass Program is one way we’re able to do that. Whether it’s getting groceries or going to appointments, this program helps our province’s most vulnerable people get where they need to go. The Discounted Bus Pass Program allows participating cities to set the retail rate they charge to the client, while still ensuring it is at least $25 below the full fare. It makes accessing public transit easier for those receiving income assistance and, in many cases, eligible riders will only pay approximately one-third the cost of a regular bus pass. Just a reminder that extra care and attention is required now that highway construction crews have begun their work building and maintaining Saskatchewan’s highways. Simplified signage is in place directing drivers exactly when to slow to 60 km/h. Drivers who don’t run the risk of facing three times the normal fines for speeding. Wherever you go this spring and summer, safe travels!

Food for Thought Lease Land for Sale

he Saskatchewan government has taken one more step in the ideological trend that has been evident over its tenure. The land previously held or lease with restrictions on its use has been a contention for years. The larger ranchers and farmers have wanted to have title to their leased land in a long time lease while the smaller operators would prefer that it continue as is because of the cost of purchase. The claim by the Minister of Agriculture that it is alright because the lessees have been good stewards of the land is pure “poppy cock.” They have been required to maintain the land in its original state which is the objective of the government’s ownership whether the land is suitable for grain production or not.

C.M. (Red) Williams

We have still not seen the end of the move to sell-off the PFRA lands to individuals or groups and therefore exposing them to cultivation and resale. The whole picture is one in which land held in trust by government is being abandoned and eventually lost of its original purpose of protection from cultivation. It is all a matter of political ideology; whether you believe in conservation or in the total exploitation of the land resource. With little expectation that an election will change the administration in the next term, it behooves the public to object as strongly as possible that the wholesale sale of protected lands is counter to the will of the majority. Opinions are those of the author.

COMMUNITY REPORTS Amazing Space

Delisle & District Arts Council - by Sylvia Chave

here does the time go, such a familiar phrase! Once again the time has come for new animateurs to be chosen to help us get ready for Culture Days on September 26, 27 & 28th. You may recall that I was an amatuer a few years back and since then I have been a strong supporter of Culture Days and the amatuer project. These artists from various disciplines are hired to come out to any and all Saskatchewan communities, schools, museums and organizations to encourage culture in community as well as culture days events at no charge. I must tell you they are an invaluable resource. The one in our area this year is Kevin Powers and he is a force to be reckoned with, a wonderful gentleman with a wealth of knowledge and experience in music & theatre that includes Broadway. He has come up with a project that will resonate with us all. Kevin wants to record the stories of Saskatchewan and put them up on Itunes as podcasts for everyone to enjoy. He is looking for people with stories. Hey, that’s all of us! The passing of my mother a year ago has made this idea a bit bitter sweet, for she had a story, an incredible story of survival and strength and we don’t have much of it saved and it is gone now, forever. So I encourage you to do a couple of things. First, save those stories! Write them down, record them on your phone or your computer. Technology makes it so

easy for us to do these things and no one ever regrets saving a memory. Second find out about the animateurs this year and have them out to your group, school or town. Check out http://sk.culturedays.ca/en/about to find out all about them. Lastly, mark your calendars for Culture Days in Delisle, we are going to celebrate visual arts this year, please spread the word. We are looking for projects by filmmakers in the area that we can screen in September. The Friday Night Concert Series ended with a fantastic concert by Jeffery Straker, what a finale for another wonderful year of music. Many thanks to everyone who help us make it happen, The Delisle United Church, the Seniors Centre, the United Church Youth Group and everyone who bought tickets. Watch for info on next years line up, it’s gonna be another wonderful year of music for Delisle!! The Delisle & District Arts Council is putting out a community guide and invite groups and businesses to submit their information so we can have a great resource for everyone in the area. Contact Pamela Hank pchank4@gmail.com (or call/text 306-361-7583) Deadline is August 10th. Volunteers for Delisle Days on July 19th are invited to call Sylvia @ 493-2955, please help us make this a wonderful event! If you are interested in being part of the Arts Council in anyway, please call Sylvia, we’d love to get your input.

MOVIE REVIEW

BY ETHAN MATHIEU

Godzilla comes roaring back to the big screen

fter the terrible american remake of Godzilla in 1998, we can forget all about that with this masterpiece of a monster movie. Godzilla is directed by Gareth Edwards and stars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, and Elizabeth Olsen. Let me start by saying that hardly do the

use the word epic to describe a movie. I use other worlds like outstanding, amazing, perfect, and great. But this was truly an epic piece of film making. The story starts us with Dr. Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston) losing somebody close to him in an accident at a nuclear power plant. !5 years later, he is still trying to figure out

what happened that day. Joe needs the help of his son, Ford (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) to uncover the secrets of what happened. After a bunch of twists and turns, monsters are released unto the earth and only one thing can stop them, Godzilla himself. The acting in this movie is great, especially from Bryan

Vanscoy & District Early Learning Centre Chosen as Host Site by Ministry of Education

he Vanscoy and District Early Learning Center has been chosen as one of only a dozen sites in the province to be a Host Site for 2014. A host site visit is one of the professional learning opportunities offered by the ministry of education in partnership with specific early childhood programs. Early childhood educators can visit one or more sites that are continuously working toward implementing high quality practices for young children. The Vanscoy Early Learning Center has been working together with a mentor to enhance the development of Play and exploration in their center. The Ministry of Education has developed the Play and Exploration: Early Learning Program Guide to support your preschool-aged child’s early learning. Child care centres and homes, Prekindergarten programs and preschools are encouraged to use the guide to enhance children’s learning. The Ministry of Education’s Early Learning Program Guide focuses on learning through play. Research shows that children learn best through play, and that play helps children learn the skills they need to do well in school, build relationships and understand others. When children explore something that interests them, they learn more quickly and remember what they have learned more easily. Play such as this can provide opportunities to practice things like counting (the Cranston. He is worth the price of admission alone. Aaron TaylorJohnson on the other hand is where this movie falls flat. His character is not that interesting and to have him as the lead was a poor casting choice in my decision, he wasn't great but he was also not the worst. But the reason we are all here is because of the king of the monsters himself. Godzilla is amazing! Every single shot that has him in it is grand and when you see him you want to stand and cheer. His introduction into the movie is just outstanding and gave me goosebumps when I saw him. His roar is

number of cows, the number of cars that can fit in the garage) or naming colours (the brown house goes first, only the red truck can park in the garage). Your Child Plays..Explores...Learns (Saskatchewan Ministry of Education) For more information go to www.education.gov.sk.ca/ELCC. More recently the center was chosen to pilot the new Essential Learning Experiences document which is a supporting document to Play and Exploration which provides further information regarding the domains of holistic learning for preschool aged children. The document includes further learning in the areas of social/emotional, Physical, spiritual and Intellectual development. Educators in the center have also been working closely with the Healthy Start Program based out of the University of Saskatchewan. This program ensures children are getting enough physical activity and develop healthy eating habits. The Vanscoy Early Learning Center would like to thank the families that attended the Early Childhood Educator Day Parade and BBQ, there was a great turn out again this year. The month of May was Early Childhood Education month we would like to send a big thank you to our Early Childhood Educators in our province. For information on our programs please call the center at 306-6686338.

where all the awesomeness happens. Because of our great theatre in Saskatoon, I was really able to enjoy Godzilla in all of it's 3D monster glory. Last but not least, the third act. The first and second act gave teases to a huge fight that happens between Godzilla and the other

monsters. When the third act is finally executed, the pay-off is worth it. I won't spoil anything but I was almost in tears with happiness. I walked out of the theatre with a smile on my face and major anticipation to watch it again. I am giving Godzilla a 9/10
