Editorial

“The Day... The Music... Died...”

I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died

I was a lonely, teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died

Don McLean wrote the 1972 hit “Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie” partly about what the loss of musician Buddy Holly, in a 1959 plane crash, meant to him.

But more than that, with the over 800 word lyrics, he says that he also “wanted to make a whole series of complex statements.

The lyrics had to do with the state of society at the time.”

I will use some of his lyrics, where they seem appropriate, in this editorial.

Thanks Don. Feel free to hum the song in your head as you read this.

Try it now... ‘bye, bye, miss american pie, drove my chevy to the levy....’

There you go, keep humming, and read on....

Music defines our cultures, and has since from the beginning of time.

From government commissioned, classical music by Bach and Beethoven to the birth of American blues (or Jungle Music as my grandma called it), to the British Invasion of Rock & Roll (she called that Devil Music), to the mercifully short lived Disco phase, right up to todays “pants on the ground” gansta’ rap & hip hop (can’t imagine what grandma would have had to say)

So just as Don McLean did, lets look at the ‘state of society at the time’.

We continue to work to change countries and regimes around the world where there is music censorship, dancing censorship and general human right violations. We watch in horror as ISIS is destroying the priceless culture artifacts in the cradle of human civilization. It seems that only pure evil can cause such a loss of humanity’s arts and culture. It even maybe seems to be ore disturbing than the countless lives lost in these conflicts.

Cue lyrics...

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan's spell And as flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died

Our Prairie Spirit School Division claims it needs to make budget cuts, in the 6-7 million dollar range. Recent population growth is driving up the numbers enrolled in our schools, but the Provincial Government claims it has increased funding to the PSSD. Regardless of the arguments of lack of funding or inefficient use of the funds, decisions are being made as to what we see as important to the next generation that we will soon be sending into this world we have created for them.

One of those decisions has landed hard on the band/music experience we are providing in our schools for that coming generation.

How good of a job have we been doing with the music programs up to now anyway ? Well let’s take a little look at that, shall we...

The school division’s own numbers tell us that in Grade five, as many as 65% of students are involved in the music programs. Well that sounds pretty good, but by Grades 9 - 12 the participation is as low as 2%.

Holy Crap ! Two percent ? ... Really !!!

They are unable to get the teenage, high school, ear bud wearing, dance crazed, car stereo blasting, late night rave crowd, that (through iTune and iPod purchases) helped propel Apple to become the largest corporation on the planet kids ? Surely these numbers can’t be right.

How is it even possible to turn almost all the musically active young people in your schools away from the music program in such a few short years ?

North Korea, Iran, the Taliban and ISIS combined could not achieve such success with suppressing music in a million years !

So how has the school division decided to fix this self admitted failure ?

The recent announcement regarding budget changes states, and I quote...

“Support will no longer be provided for instrumental band instruction in grades 5 - 10.” (read it for yourself on page 15) I’m not making this up... they have decided to eliminate that part of the music program that had a 65% success rate. I assume to prevent another 2% of graduating students ending up with some sort of musical ability.

Cue lyrics again...

I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play Music has a powerful effect on every person in every society.

It can make you smile, dance, smile, cry, relax... with lyrics or just sounds.

It transcends language, cultural and religious boundaries and feeds the spiritual component of the human condition in a way that nothing else does.

Big, challenging, global issues indeed, but what about closer to home ?

The RM Review

These evolutions of music are always driven by the younger generations and apparently resistance to cuts to the music program might have to be as well.

We do have School Community Councils at each school, to advise the schools and division, but it seems very few communities have embraced them as an important part of their community, or are even aware they exist.

So a young girl that has been in the band program at Langham school for seven years, and doesn’t want to let “the man” take away her music program, has started an on-line petition. Check it out at www.change.org/p/prairie-spirit-school-division-keep-all-band-programs Cue more lyrics...

As we watch the seemly unstoppable growth of so called religious fanatics, we also see declines in participation in mainstream religions. Churches have always been places (and were often the only place) where people could experience and participate in music. Elvis Presley is one of countless, successful musicians who attribute their beginnings in music to a church.

If we are not going to use our schools to influence the musical lives of the next generation, maybe our churches will have pull it together and resume the historic musical role they once played ?

But wait, maybe the school division should revisit the 65% success rate part of the school music program and get off their butts to find a way to bring the rest of the program up to those numbers, not use the excuse of budgets to run away from a program they have obviously done a miserable job of running, and is easier to get rid of than improve. Maybe that will come up at the public meeting they are holding on June 8th.

The next generation is going to need much more than math, science and technology to improve the world we are leaving them,. They will have to successfully learn what it means to live together as humans on this planet, and music must, maybe more than ever, play an important role in that world.

Play us out Don...

And in the streets, the children screamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken And the three men I admire most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day... the music... died...

Ministry of Highways Presents Finalized Plan to Route Highway 7 Twinning around Vanscoy

O

ver 50 people attended the Ministry of Highways open house in Vanscoy on May 28th, the third such open house in the past six months. An update to the twinning of Highway 7 from Saskatoon to Delisle was presented.

At the previous open house, held in April, residents were shown various options to design a bypass around the Village of Vanscoy. 130 people attended that open house, with 84 of them filling out comment sheets. 79% of those respondents favored a bypass to the north of Vanscoy.

Earlier in April the Village of Vanscoy also surveyed the Village residents specifically,

& &

with 69% favoring a north bypass versus running the divided highway ‘Chamberlain style’ through the Village.

Know as option ‘A’, the bypass will begin on the east side of Vanscoy, just east of Minnesota Road, head due west, crossing the paved Grandora Grid 672 north of Vanscoy and rejoining the existing highway route about 2 miles west of Vanscoy.

There are three possible access points to get on and off the bypass, one a mile east of Vanscoy, another one is 1/2 mile north of Vanscoy at Grid 672, and another one a mile west of Vanscoy at the grid that runs west to Agrium.

&

Phase One of the project (between Vanscoy and Cory Potash mine) has already begun with the current Highway 7 (future eastbound lanes) being resurfaced in the past week.

Grading and earthwork for the new westbound lanes running along the north side of the highway will begin right away and should be completed this fall. Paving is projected to start in 2016 and be completed by the fall.

Phase Two (Vanscoy bypass) is still in design and planning and is not projected to begin until 2017 and be completed late 2018 or early 2019. (between Phase Three Vanscoy and Delisle) is projected to begin the

&

grading and earthwork phase next spring, with paving completed in the fall of 2017.

Phases One and Three will include a reduction of the number of access points along their routes, utilizing service roads to bring traffic to new, safer 90 degree crossings.

There are also changes anticipated where the project reached the east edge of Delisle.

The current intersection where paved Grid 766 (Pike Lake highway) crosses Highway 7 in front of the Co-op will be closed and relocated a mile east of Delisle, to allow for a 90 degree intersection to be built, with a service road on the north side running back to Delisle.

obin and Quinten Odnokon of Robin’s Nest Cafe in Vanscoy, recently participated in the Ronald McDonald House ‘Home for Dinner’ program. It is a volunteer opportunity for corporate groups, organizations, or even groups of friends, to come to Ronald McDonald House to prepare a home cooked meal for families

that are using the facility. Families received a invitation to attend the dinner, but if their schedule of running back and forth to the hospital didn’t allow them to attend, the group packaged up containers for them to enjoy later that evening.

“Our friends Curtis and Candice, who own Brunner Construction, are one of many financial spon-

sors of the charity. They invited us to work with them and we jumped at the opportunity” says the Odonokons.

“We were able to visit with the people staying there as well. It really puts things into perspective when you see what having a child in the hospital does to a family. It was a fulfilling experience, we will do it again”.

hen Gail Erhart was elected Mayor of the Town of Asquith she had to resign her seat as a councillor, triggering another a by-election to fill the vacant position.

There were two candidates nominated for the seat.

57 people turned out on election day, May 27th.

Leen Van Marion received 43 of the votes, defeating Ted Goodnough who received 14.

“We extend our sincere Thanks to everyone within the community for their heart felt support and aid during and following the devastating loss of our home at NE 1-34-8 W3 to fire on April 14, 2015. Special thanks are extended to the Delisle & District, including Pike Lake, and the Montrose Fire Departments for their successful efforts in containing the fire and miraculously saving outbuildings and surrounding property, while battling very strong winds. The immediate and continuing help offered by each of you, along our grid and beyond, has been overwhelming and comforting beyond words in helping us deal with this tragedy toward resuming our life.

When we first moved here in 1988, we were immediately taken in, finding everyone within the RM, the Town of Delisle, and the Pike Lake Community always friendly and accepting of us “newcomers”. Even though our daily commute to the City for work and family restricted our active involvement in community events, we always felt accepted as part of the community and very glad we chose to live here. Having both grown up on farms, we deeply value our neighbors and strongly believe that we are all here to simply help each other. We have always been more than pleased with the courteous, friendly, and efficient services provided by the people within the RM. Again, Thank You all, so very much!

Delisle Agencies Celebrates 35 Years

D

elisle Agencies is celebrating 35 years in business and the grand opening of their new 1,800 square foot building in Delisle.

The family run business was started in 1980 by Art Kelly. His stepson Rob Ouellette joined him in 2010, and took the business over in 2013. At 85 years of age, Art still remains active in the business.

The business has always been active in the Delisle district. “We have always taken pride in supporting local and area groups and events” says Rob “and this year are also sponsoring the new Delisle Rodeo”.

Delisle Agencies business has grown significantly over the years and recently Rob decided it was time to expand into a new building.

“We want to create a more enjoyable experience for our customers when they

come to see us” says Ouellette, “plus we want to help improve the overall look of the main business area of Delisle.”

AGRICULTURE REPORTS Sarah Sommerfeld, PAg Regional Haying and the Saskatchewan Forage Specialist Hay Harvest Challenge

Haying season approaches and the challenge to put up good quality hay with minimal field losses exists. Despite all attempts to put up good quality hay, the weather does not always co-operate and poorer quality hay makes its way into many winter feeding systems. Regardless of harvest management and weather conditions, the nutrient content of forage is highly variable. Matching the nutrients supplied by the forage with livestock nutrient requirements is only possible if the nutrient content of the forage is known.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, Central Testing Laboratories and Saskatchewan Peavey Mart locations are working together to promote the Saskatchewan Hay Harvest Challenge – to raise awareness of the importance of growing and harvesting good quality forage and the importance of feed testing.

Growing and harvesting good quality forage is the first step in meeting the nutritional requirements of livestock. Stage of maturity at the time of cutting is the single largest factor that determines forage quality. Delaying

John Hauer, PAg Regional Forage Specialist The Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) is a voluntary and confidential self-assessment tool that producers can use to rate the environmental risks and opportunities of their farms. The planning process is designed to increase producer’s environmental awareness by working through chapters

harvest to maximize yield sacrifices quality and finding the balance between yield and quality is key. This point of balance generally occurs the third week of June, at the latebud to early flower stage, but is dependent on growing conditions and forage species.

Harvest losses significantly impact forage quality. Minimizing harvest losses is achieved by shortening dry down and curing time. Harvest losses occur through three actions: respiration, weathering and mechanical. Rapid dry down reduces respiration losses.

Environmental Farm Plans A New Delivery

dealing with various aspects of their farming operation. As producers work through the chapters they will highlight their farm’s environmental strengths. They may also find areas where there needs to be some changes made to the operation to minimize impact on the environment.

Often these changes also improve the personal safety of the producer and/or their families.

Completed EFPs also increase public awareness and recognition of farm stewardship practices, adds value to the farm property, safeguards the local environment and helps maintain sustain-

Drying time can be reduced by conditioning the hay and a wide swath width. Under good drying conditions, respiration losses range from two to eight per cent dry matter.

During poor drying conditions, respiration losses can be as high as 16 per cent dry matter.

Weathering prolongs respiration losses and causes leaching of water soluble nutrients and leaf shatter. Leaving a wide swath and conditioning the windrow helps to reduce the time from cutting to baling, reducing the chance of rain on the windrow. Mechanical losses are greatest in alfalfa hay. Raking windrows together inverts the swath and places them onto drier ground.

When raking alfalfa windrows, rake early morning when the dew is still on to minimize leaf loss.

Many livestock and forage producers keep a field record book. The Saskatchewan Hay Harvest Challenge provides producers with a pocket sized field book to record hay field conditions and harvest operations across their forage acres. In taking the Hay Harvest Challenge, producers are encouraged to submit forage samples for feed testing. The field record book provides an entry form to fill in after the feed test analysis is returned. Not only is the field book for record keeping, it is also full of forage production and harvest management

information – great for a quick reference on often asked forage questions!

Prizes for the Saskatchewan Hay Harvest Challenge include four $250 vouchers for feed testing analysis sponsored by Central Testing Laboratories and a $1,000 voucher for instore merchandise purchase from a Saskatchewan Peavey Mart location. Entry forms are found in the official field record book.

The official challenge kick-off date is June 23, 2015 and all entries must be received by January 15, 2016.

For more information or to obtain an official field record book contact your local Regional Forage Specialist.

able production of crops and livestock.

As producers work through the chapters they will develop action plans with time tables to identify management practices which can reduce their environmental impact. Changes to these management practices can include adoption of Beneficial Management Practices through the Farm Stewardship Program. Farm Stewardship

program is funded through Growing Forward II, a federal-ProvincialTerritorial policy framework of Agricultural Programs. Completion of an EFP is one of the requirements for accessing funding to adopt these Beneficial Management Practices.

In the past the EFP was delivered through one or two day workshops that the producer had to attend. As of April 1, 2015

the EFP program is now delivered online. Producers can visit the website at efp.saskatchewan.ca.

The producer can log into the program and work through the chapters at their own time and their own pace, all from the comfort of their own home. They do not have to complete the whole plan at once but can do some each day over a several day period.

T

OASIS GOLF RESORT

he 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, 6 water hazards, 68 bunkers, including 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. There is also a practice putting green, and a large practice facility/driving range.

The avid golfer will enjoy the challenge of The Oasis and the weekend warriors will love it too!

This is a serene course, a place to get away from it all. The Oasis offers not only a challenging 18hole course, but an environment to cater to your every need. It has a fully-stocked pro shop. The restaurant promises meals to excite your palate and its licensed 2,200 square foot terrace offers an unparalleled view overlooking the course and the ever-changing prairie sky.

A mere hundred years ago on this land, the buffalo roamed at will. Aboriginals called the hills home, raised families and worshipped their god with medicine wheels, still in evidence, just to the west, in the shortgrass prairie which covers the hills. As the railroads pushed west, the first of the settlers arrived. The Scharf family was one of the original eastern families to settle in the area. Jim Scharf was the third generation to care for the land and help develop the community that became Perdue.

Jim, like his grandfather and father before him, was an active promoter of Perdue. He was a firm believer in rural revitalization and looking at value-added use of the land. He had already located a successful business in the village, but could see his community literally shrinking around him. The area needed a boost.

Jim's passing left a void. But we are dedicated to fulfill his vision of a one of a kind facility where golf and nature come together.

So plan your next round of golf at The Oasis.

Tee times can be booked by calling the pro-shop.

THE HUDDLE

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 1.5-km 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 available where bull riding and trail rides have been held in the past. Plan to take in the Fish Derby or Jamboree in June.

t is good practice to schedule medical checkups when you are well because it helps maintain your health. The same is true of your insurance program. Insurance must be constantly updated to reflect changes in your life and a strong insurance plan is built on regular communication with your advisor.

Given the dry start to our year, now, more than ever, is the time to review the limit on your policy for Fire Fighting coverage. Mooney Agencies recommends a minimum of $10,000 fire fighting expense coverage, which typically costs up to $80 per year. In the current dry conditions, a carelessly discarded cigarette butt from a vehicle could result in significant fire fighting expenses to the property owner! Some insurance companies include fire fighting charges with your policy but the included limits are often inadequate on their own. It is no longer unusual to see fire fighting bills exceed $10,000 from a single incident. If you have additional land or unique exposures to fire risk then much higher limits may be required to avoid an uninsured loss. In addition, you may also be charged for materials utilized in the performance of fire suppres-

sion including foam, water, rented, hired or third party equipment and any loss of firefighting equipment that occurs in firefighting when negligent. Note many insurers have “bundled” options available that increase your Fire Fighting coverage to more reasonable limits along with providing coverage for other important items such as Debris Removal & Demolition expenses.

These optional policy bundles are often the best value to provide you with adequate levels of protection and typically range from $100-150 per year. Why do you need Fire Fighting coverage if you live in town? Many communities including the Village of Vanscoy do not include fire fighting with your property tax!

Even though the internet has made it all easier, you simply cannot replace the expertise of a real estate agent! He/she will save you money, time and a lot of stress! So, the endless number of search sites and howto guides can give you a starting point, but that’s it, be-

cause you’ll most likely come across documents or situations that you won’t be able to manage efficiently!

Without an agent, purchasing a house will surely be much more difficult, while house hunting will turn into a genuine challenge.

A buyer’s agent is what you need; someone to represent you and work in your best interest!

There are costly mistakes you are sure to avoid, let us help you avoid those, call us today!

HOME RENOvATIONS - REALITY OR SHOW ?

hen I was asked to create a column in this local newspaper, I posted a request on our Jaba Construction Facebook page asking our clientele what question about the construction industry would like answered.

I chose the following from the questions I received.

“I’d love to know the impact HGTV and Home Shows has had on your industry.

Are home owners more informed or do they just think they know more?

Does everyone think the reno’s can be done in a half hour now? ”Has it contributed to any growth do you think? “ This question comes from Kristy and I thank you for a great question to start my column off with.

Let’s start with the TV shows in general, promoting their home renovation cause. Let’s be honest here- they are all staged. What that means is that somewhere behind the scenes they are being dictated to, for what type of format and/or audience they are wanting to attract. I have been involved in TV promotions in my career so I understand a large portion of that side.

this TV personality says we should be doing this or doing that. Most homeowners don’t have an open wallet and fail to realize that without the sponsors of the show, you and I can’t always afford some of the things that they showcase.

In today’s world, you can easily access information online, as well as watch TV shows on how to perform a renovation, but I won’t lie to you, hands-on experience is the most valuable contributing factor. With all of the information that is provided and the stigmatism that TV shows provide, they always forget to show you the behinds the scenes management that takes place before the renovation starts. That is the most critical factor in setting up a renovation. A lot of the TV personalities wouldn’t be who they are today if they had to air that part of the show. “ OOOOPPPPPS !! CUT!! Can we redo that scene?”

How many times do you think that is said while taping a 30 minute show? Think about that one!!!

“Can someone hand me a sledge hammer... they want a shot of me knocking a wall out" Do you get the full picture of what I am saying?

If they can do this on TV then I can do this at home?

Great selling feature !!

What impact has it had in our industry? You as a viewer can only see what they want you to see, so on the TV they can make it look like a very simple process.

First of all, define a renovation? A renovation could be installing new flooring in your bathroom and a coat of paint on the walls, or it could be a full-fledged addition with all the bells and whistles.

In my mind, all the TV shows are saying is that anyone can hire the right contractor/designer or they can hire the wrong contractor/designer, but in reality they are promoting that they are the best you can hire or else do it yourself, because no one is any good except them.

There is no set standard so in the shows they make the renovator /designer look like the best thing around. As a contractor, when I go to your home, I always hear

So where does that leave us as to "does it contribute to growth in our industry?"

It contributes to the concensus that anyone can rip

apart and rebuild it to their TV standards; anyone with computer skills can provide a concept as to what your home should and can look like. They fail to tell you that in a lot of cases architects, engineers, designers, Planning and Building departments, sub-contractors, suppliers are also involved.

They also fail to tell you that it can take months, and in some cases, up to a year to set up and provide budgets or quotes to perform the proper renovation.

If they don’t have a hands on approach then why are they there? A lot of people I know in the industry do have that approach and I respect them for this.

This is called experience! The TV shows will never show you the true side of the home renovation industry because if they did, they would have no show!

If you would like your questions answered in this article, send your question to jaba@shaw.ca or check us out on our facebook page.

We will pick a new question every month.

Answers are solely my personal opinion and in no way reflect on any individuals or programs.

SCHOOL REPORTS

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL

elcome to our last month of preschool! The preschoolers have been getting ready for Graduation Day, practicing their songs, and it will soon be time to make their graduation hats. Grad Day is Thursday, June 18th at 10am downstairs at the hall.

May has been a great month for learning about plants, animals, and the outdoors.

The 4-year olds planted grass seed in eggshells that they had decorated with faces. They tell me the hair (grass) is about 6-12 inches high, although no-one has given their egghead a haircut yet.

They also have been learning about different habitats - ponds, deserts, and African grasslands so far - and what plants and animals live in each habitat.

We will continue with this topic, ending with a trip to Pike Lake Park to see what habitats and plants and animals we can find there.

Both classes made owl Mother's Day crafts, and they both explored the number 9 with the 3-year olds making a 9circle caterpillar and the 4-year olds gluing 9 items on a big 9 they drew.

On Blue Day, the students wore blue, made blue fish and a Little Boy Blue craft, ate blue foods, and found blue all around us. Thankfully they did not feel blue when we were done! To finish the month, we will be going on a field trip to a dairy farm. One of the 4-year olds lives on a dairy farm and his parents have offered for us to spend an afternoon there watching the cows being milked.

That should be quite an experience!

That brings us into June when we will explore the number 10 and the colour black, as well as continue with our graduation preparations.

We had registration for next year, and right now, numbers are low, particularly for the 4-year olds. If you would like to register your child for September, please call Wendy at 306-978-8164. Your child must be 3 or 4 by December 31st, 2015 and toilet-trained.

At this time, I would like to thank all the preschool parents for their help and understanding throughout the year. A school, no matter what kind or how big or small it is, cannot function properly without parental help in some form. So thank you parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Your help is so very much appreciated. I would also like to send a huge thank you to Pike Lake School for all they offer us, from playground equipment and toys to inviting us to special occasions like Hot Meals or seeing baby chicks. Thank you for all you do to keep the preschool going strong.

Have a great summer!

ow do you showcase the accomplishments of students? We have always used marks, numbers and letters to show what students have accomplished, but does the number 82% really show a lot? When you meet with others at work or as part of a volunteer organization and are getting feedback, do they write 82% on a card and give it to you? PSSD has been working to change the way we assess, offer feedback and really, showcase what students are accomplishing in our schools. We are trying to increase feedback, increase student involvement in assessment and promote/showcase student work and accomplishments. Our students do amazing things, and in those accomplishments, learn more than the number on the card can ever tell us.

Last night we hosted a Division Band Concert and in the set up I got to see the pride of these students in their accomplishments. On Wed. June 3 a number of our students films will be shown at the PSSD Film Festival held at the Roxy

Theatre in Saskatoon. We will be hosting our Annual Colour Night in the School on Wed. June 10 which will feature a student award ceremony and showcase many talents and accomplishments of our students in the form of work displayed and performances. All our celebrations of our students will culminate with Graduation on June 26 with an opportunity to celebrate and thank our Grade 12's for their many accomplishments. I invite you to join us in celebration of these students and take the time to attend or participate in any activities we will be hosting this upcoming month. It is really easy to get lost in the stress of June with finals, schedules, and the many other tasks that need completion, but for our students, it is also an opportunity to celebrate a job well done and I hope that you are able to join in these celebrations!

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL

P

ike Lake School held our ‘Volunteer Appreciation Tea’ on May 15th. It’s our way to say thank you for the incredible support that our Pike Lake community provides. Volunteers enhance the learning opportunities for our students through countless hours of assistance: contributors on special days, members on our community council, hot lunch helpers, the distribution and collection of fundraising materials, assisting with social events such as literacy night, and the ‘Welcome Back BBQ.’ Thanks to all of you for helping to make Pike Lake School the great place that it is. Volunteers are not paid. Not because they’re worthless but because they’re priceless.

Speaking of volunteerism and great learning opportunities, the weather cooperated on our postponed Earth Day as we worked around our school playground collecting garbage and recyclables! Once everything was neat and tidy, we cared for our feathered friends by putting up the bird houses we made and also tidied up our garden box to ready it for planting. We made some wonderful bird feeders to take home for all kinds of birds to visit. Once our exhausting work was completed, we quenched our thirst with a freezie treat! We all certainly had a fun time sprucing up our school surroundings.

A special thanks goes to three wonderful ladies who came and extended the yard cleanup. Kathy Rose, Sandy Ross and Udelle Milton graciously volunteered their time to clean, prune and pretty up our flower beds and corner tree plot!

Their hard work shines and everything now looks beautifully trimmed and manicured and neat! It was quite the job and we are absolutely grateful for their commitment to help keep our school beautiful! Thank you ladies!

The Pike Lake School Community Council (SCC) is very excited to be holding

I

the first ever Try-A-Thon for our students. The Try-A-Thon is fully sanctioned by the Saskatchewan Triathlon Association and involves the running, biking and swimming components. We would like to shout out a big hoorah for some wonderful businesses and organizations who contributed monetary donations towards making this Try-A-Thon a success! We extend our big hearted thanks to: Pike Lake Community and School Association Neimar’s Custom Work MJ’s Convenience Store Ball & Sons Heating Co. Ltd. Crickle Creek Fun Zone Tuff Turf Growers Ltd. Saskatchewan Triathlons Association Completing this activity will be a big achievement for our students and we would like to encourage parents, family and community members to come out and cheer them on as they go through the course! The event will run Monday, June 15th at 1:15 p.m. The kids will be swimming at the Cabin Owner’s Beach (The Old Beach across from the tennis courts) and doing their run and bike along Lakeside Drive.

t is important to pick a good book because if a kindergarten pick a chapter book they won’t know how to read it and if their parents tell them every word they might not understand and get upset. If they can’t read it they will get mad and by accidently rip a page or through the book and wreck it. They may also not won’t to read it because it

will be hard for them so they will put it somewhere and forget about it and never find it again. That’s why you should pick the right book for you. You can find a just right book by using the five finger strategy, reading the back cover or asking a friend or teacher for a recommendation.

Prairie Spirit School Division Releases Statement on Cuts to the Music & Band Programs

he Prairie Spirit School Division has a rich history of band programs that have provided valuable musical experiences to many of our students over the years.

The music education received by these students has been excellent and very impactful on their lives. In many cases, music education has helped students to discover their identity as individuals and gave them focus and engagement that crossed over into many other areas of their academic lives.

We continue to value the importance of music education, and wish for all of our students to feel engaged through music. As students move from elementary, through the middle years and into high school, we notice that fewer of them keep exploring music in their academic lives. We know that students continue to have a strong interest in music in their lives, but they often are unable to find appealing or feasible ways to connect it to their experiences in school by the time they reach the secondary level.

Due to the major financial shortfall being experienced by our school division, we are faced with tough decisions regarding the allocation of available funds. Currently, our band programs experience larger numbers at the grade 5 level (38%-64% of students), but by the grade 9 -12 level reduce dramatically (2%-6%).

As a result, we are moving to create and support a broader musical culture in our schools that will positively impact more students musically – and potentially academically – by helping our schools be responsive and relevant to the interests of our students through the K-9 Arts Ed curricula and elective music options at the secondary level. Over the next several years, the Prairie Spirit School Division will be transitioning from the current instrumental band program to a broader music education program. We plan to provide targeted support to Prairie Spirit schools in order to achieve the following goals through music curricula: 1. Engage students in meaningful, sustainable musical learning and activity.

2. Make music learning relevant to students and connect their in-school and out-ofschool interests and experiences.

3. Enable students to experience practical music making and understand the process of music making.

Students who earn a Band 10 credit in 2014/15 will have the opportunity to complete Band 20 and/or 30 over the next two years. The required 100 hours will be achieved through an approach of two timetabled 60 minute classes per 6 day cycle (62 hours) with a band teacher and an independent study component that will provide resources and structure for students (38 hours).

Beginning in September 2015, itinerant band support will no longer be provided for instrumental band instruction in grades 5 - 10. Curricular after-school band practices will no longer be held. It is possible that after-school practices of an extra-curricular nature may be organized by interested staff. In such cases, bussing of band students for extra-curricular after-school practices will not be provided.

Our hopes for the future...

- We can positively impact the music education of a significantly higher percentage of our students through this transition.

- Music education will become more authentic for more of our students. Through Kindergarten - Grade 9 Arts Education curricula and secondary music electives, students will find a place for their musical passion inside of our schools.

- This transition will create the opportunity to invite talented musicians on our staffs and in our communities to become resources for music education.

- This approach will provide the flexibility needed for each school’s musical program to meet the local needs of their student musicians and develop a culture of music in their schools.

Informational Meetings We are very appreciative of the support and contributions of parents and band parent associations to the instrumental band program in our school division. We recognize your passion for the band program.

We are offering an opportunity for parents to meet to discuss this transition. We are sensitive to the timing of these meetings as we do not want to detract from our students’ efforts and accomplishments as they are showcased at the year-end band concerts.

We invite you to attend an informational meeting so that we may provide additional detail about the transition, listen to you, and gather your input.

Principles of the transition...

Delisle Composite School 400 – 2nd Street East, Delisle, SK Monday, June 8, 2015 6 - 7:30 p.m.

1. Equity – All students will have the opportunity to create and compose music.

2. Efficiency – Available budget dollars will be used to increase the number of students pursuing music electives at the secondary level.

South Corman Park School 1760 Baker Road East, Casa Rio, SK Wednesday, June 10, 2015 6 - 7:30 p.m.

3. Musical diversity - Music education will strive to provide support for a variety of avenues for musical expression.

Questions may be directed to Noel Roche, Learning Superintendent, at 306-683-2833.

4. Musical culture - A culture of music will be evident in all schools.

Agrium supports Literacy at Vanscoy School

V

anscoy students will enjoy a variety of new books in their classroom libraries as a result of a generous donation from Agrium.

Vanscoy School recently received $7500 in funding from Agrium to support the school’s literacy goals and enhance classroom libraries in the Kindergarten to Grade 8 school.

“We are thrilled to receive these funds and we know our students will love the

new books that will be added to our classroom libraries,” said Darin McKay, Vice-Principal of Vanscoy School. The $7500 will be used to enhance classroom libraries and support levelled reading programs to meet the literacy needs of the school’s diverse group of readers.

McKay noted that students will provide their input into the books that are selected for the school.

Vanscoy School applied for the grant funding through Agrium’s community investment programming. Agrium offers funding for non-profit organizations, focusing on the following areas: youth, health and wellness, environment, civic/arts and culture. Agrium has a potash mine near Delisle and has been a firm supporter of the schools in the community.

“Vanscoy School enjoys a beneficial relationship with Agrium,” McKay said. “As a result, our students have had access to programs and learning materials we would not have been able to provide otherwise.”

(We sell smiles for a Family Focused Day of FUN). The 5k FoamFest Canada takes a bouncy foamy-family twist to your typical mudrun where participants jump, slide and bounce their way through massive inflatable obstacles such as army crawls, colossal walls, foam and mud pits, cargo net climbs, a body washer, slip’n slides and even a towering 50 foot death drop.

The 5K Foam Fest is expected to draw well over 3000 people just in Saskatoon alone, sourcing much of its needed equipment and supplies locally, creating tourism and economic spin offs. 5K Foam Fest Canada raises funds for Habitat for Humanity and the Canadian Cancer Society.

May 27, 2015 Everyday tasks that were once done in person, such as shopping, communicating, learning and banking, are now done online.

To help Canadians have better access to these and many other online services, Kelly Block, Member of Parliament for Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar, today announced that 1,695 homes in her riding will get access to highspeed Internet services.

The Government of Canada is delivering on its commitment to rural Canadians to connect an additional 280,000 households in rural and remote regions of the country to high-speed Internet at minimum speeds of five megabits per second

KennY’S CulTiVATinG 306 - 281 - 4111

(Mbps). Much of this will be completed by the time Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2017.

Last summer, the Government completed the first step, inviting Canadians to provide feedback online to help better determine areas in need of highspeed Internet access.

Once information was received from individual Canadians and governments across the country, Industry Canada invited Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to submit proposals for funding under Connecting Canadians to build wireless or wired infrastructure that will provide services to rural and remote communities in need.

Today, the Government is partnering with dozens of ISPs to build the necessary wireless or wired infrastructure across the country that will bring an additional 280,000 Canadian households highspeed Internet access. By Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, over 98 percent of Canadian households will be able to subscribe to new or improved highspeed Internet services, delivering on the Harper Government’s commitment to Canadians.

For Canadians who live in communities with slow or no Internet, access to high-speed services will lead to new economic opportunities and the creation of new jobs, products and services.

May 27, 2015 Randy Weekes, MLA Surgical Wait Times Continue to Fall

Governments Move to Finalize Job Training Deal

Dramatic reductions in surgical wait times that began during the four-year Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative have continued, with even more patients receiving sooner, safer, smarter surgical care a year later.

We want to ensure everyone in Saskatchewan has access to the training and employment services they need to fully participate in our strong, diversified economy. Today we are in final discussions to retool an existing federal-provincial job training deal that will further align training to labour market opportunities and help people secure meaningful employment.

The number of patients waiting more than three months for surgery is down 89 per cent, with 13,613 fewer patients waiting that long for surgery on March 31, 2015 than in March 2010.

Of the 10 health regions that offer surgery, seven had zero patients waiting longer than three months for surgery as of March 31, 2015.

Saskatchewan’s Wholesale Trade 2x Greater Than National Increase According to figures from Statistics Canada, Saskatchewan’s broad-based economy is strong when compared to other jurisdictions. Year-over-year wholesale trade in Saskatchewan was up 12.2 per cent in March 2015, more than double the national average of 5.6 per cent.

Saskatchewan wholesale trade totalled $2.4 billion in March 2015, the highest March on record. Our province’s diverse wholesale sector is helping to create more jobs and business opportunities and contributing to moving our economy forward in the long-term.

Saskatchewan Home to World-Class Mining Industry Saskatchewan has one of the most opportunity-rich investment climates in the world, and nowhere is this more evident than in our mining industry. The value of Saskatchewan mineral production in 2014 was $7.3 billion.

The Fraser Institute’s 2014 Survey of Mining Companies measures the opinions of thousands of exploration, development and mining-related companies and ranked Saskatchewan number one in Canada and number two in the world among jurisdictions attractive to mining investment.

As the world’s largest potash producer, second-largest uranium producer, and a go-to destination for global mining investment dollars, Saskatchewan Mining Week is encouraging people to take time to learn about what the industry does for them and their communities.

Approximately 770 Saskatchewan workers are receiving training through the Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant with 145 Saskatchewan employers already approved for funding. Saskatchewan is currently accepting employer applications for the Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant. Employers can learn more and apply online at economy.gov.sk.ca/jobgrant.

Consultations on Farmland Ownership Now Open We want to make sure our government is on the right path and makes the correct decisions regarding farmland ownership. This is why we’ve launched an online consultation, allowing interested parties to share their views regarding farmland ownership rules in Saskatchewan.

This consultation will help us understand who should, or should not be, allowed to own farmland in Saskatchewan, specifically pension plans, investment trusts, pension plan administrators and foreign investors.

You can participate in the consultation online at saskatchewan.ca/farmland.

A paper copy of the survey may be picked up at any Ministry of Agriculture Regional Office or can be requested by calling the Agriculture Knowledge Centre. At the end of the consultation period (which runs until August 10, 2015), results of the survey and all comments will be posted online. Once the results have been analyzed, decisions will be made regarding next steps.

Within an hour or two, the building was completely destroyed except for the Zamboni, which was housed in an addition to the rink.

The natural ice rink was built in the early 1960’s by volunteers and has seen

generations of local residents pass through its doors to watch or participate in minor hockey and figure skating.

The fire seems to have started in the end of the rink where the concession once was, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Residents are hoping the arena can be replaced as it serves an important role in their community.

Amazing Space Delisle & District Arts Council Report

he Delisle Community Choir would like to thank everyone who came out to our first ever community concert. We were overwhelmed by the support and encouragement we received from all of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The choir is taking the summer off – but watch for us serving hamburgers at the Co-Op in July. We will resume rehearsals on September 10th (second and fourth Thursday of each month) at 7 pm at the United Church. New members are always welcome. The only requirement to participate is a love of singing.

In January the Arts Council went together with other community organizations and applied for a government grant for a summer student position. We are delighted to report that we have received funding to hire a full-time student for eight weeks this summer. The successful applicant for the position is Robyn Bray.

Robyn is a university student in the Faculty of Education, with a background in theatre and extensive experience working with children and youth.

Robyn will begin work in our community on June 29th. She will be providing summer programming for children, youth and seniors in both Delisle and Vanscoy. Coordinating Vacation Bible School programs in both towns, planning and leading weekly playground activities, offering social and fitness activities for seniors, helping out with Summer reading programs at the Wheatland Library, assisting with activities at the

Vanscoy Fair and Delisle Days... we expect to keep Robyn very busy!

The supervising committee for our summer student consists of Sylvia Chave, Jordan Cantwell, Shannon Wright, and Lori Coleman. If you have any questions or ideas about summer programs in which Robyn will be involved, please call the Delisle Rec Office at 306-493-8283.

Please note these upcoming events: Next meeting of the Arts Council: Thursday, June 18th at 3pm at the United Church Culture Days: Last weekend in September – watch this space for more details in the future Free Art Classes with Janet Williams!

March 12th & March 19th 2016 Janet Williams is a Saskatchewan born artist with a background in Education.

She is currently a juried member of the Saskatchewan Craft Council and is a member of the Art Quest art group.

Janet's paintings are brought to life through the use of a bold and unique color palate. Her paintings include whimsical figures which appear to dance across the canvas effortlessly. Sponsorship for art classes by the Delisle & District Arts Council is made possible through a grant from Saskatchewan Lotteries.

Laura Multiple 4-H Report Hey all and thank for reading this. This 4-H year is coming to an end but not before our annual achievement day.

Achievement Day is on Saturday June 14th 2pm at the Laura hall. Their is Supper Provided if you wish too attend.

This Years Projects that will be displayed is Module Building, Scrapbooking, Outdoor Adventure, photography, and The Clover Buds, For our May fun activity we planned an overnight trip to Shekinah Retreat. We would also like to thank the Bruins for letting us use there bus. When we first arrived we went down to the North Saskatchewan river where some people used clay to sculpt stuff after seeing a crayfish in the water.

Then after we were able to go zip-lining and Wall-climbing for part of the afternoon then the rest of the afternoon we spent doing co-operative games like

whale watcher and titanic. In Whale watchers you have to balance a platform as a group to complete the task. In Titanic you have to rope swing onto a platform and get the whole team on the platform. we did a few more co-operative games then we went back to the lodge we were staying at. after supper we had a fire and roasted marshmallows. On Sunday, after Breakfast we went for a walk on the trails around Shekinah. We also went back to the Co-operative games and did Arachnophobia. Arachnophobia is were you have to get through a spider web without making the bell ring.

The Time we spent at Shikinah was Amazing. although during are stay we had a few unwanted guests join us. they are known a Mosquitos and ticks Cody and Heather Kearnan
