Family Day in Vanscoy
T
he Vanscoy Community Recreation Board put on a wonderful Family Day event for our communities on February 17th. The day started with a free family skate at the rink, with many families taking advantage of the ice with beach balls and music. At 4:00 we moved to the hall and had a movie night with two shows. The first movie was Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 and the second was We bought a Zoo. With popcorn and snacks the 60 people in attendance enjoyed the movies on the large screen. We sold hotdogs between the
movies and had a few less people stay for the second movie. We had a draw for the two movies and a 50/50 draw. Congratulations to Brody and Doren for winning the movies. I would also like to thank Robb M. for donating his 50/50 win back to the Rec Board. We would like to take this opportunity to say thanks for all those who came out and enjoyed part of their Family Day with us and showed some community spirit. As with any event it takes a lot of time and commitment from people to put something like this together. I would like to thank the Pike Lake
School for the use of the large screen, The Vanscoy Bar for the use of the popcorn maker, and Brett for the use of the projector, obviously without these items we could not of shown any movies. I would like to thank all those who were helping at the rink. I would also like to thank Ty and Robb, Wendy and Darren, and Troy for all their hard work for setting up, working the door and kitchen and for the clean up at the end of the night. It was a fun way to spend the day with family and friends and I hope to do it again next year!
All money raised stays with the Rec. Board to bring you more community events. If you have any ideas or would like to help with any events, please feel free to contact any of the Rec. Board members or myself at 306.668.9159. As this event is now complete I will be planning the Second Annual Mother Daughter Tea Party, watch for posters going up in April. Submitted by Bonnie Ross

Editorial “Visitor Experience”
J
ust like a large number of other Saskatchewan residents, I experienced a car accident this past winter. In my case it happened just before Christmas, didn’t involve any other vehicles and thankfully, no injuries... other than to my vehicle, which was a total loss. The experience began with doing a relatively easy on-line claim with SGI. I was contacted by an adjustor a few days later to have the vehicle towed through SGI for a damage inspection. This was not my first accident, so none of this was new to me, but it was the first time it had resulted in a total loss claim, and thats where it started to get weird. After the inspection I was contacted by the adjustor and informed of the total loss assessment. I was surprised at how low SGI had valued the vehicle (around $10,000) and suggested it should be higher (around $14,000), and that’s when the game began. The adjustor advised me to find comparable vehicles to justify my valuation, which I did, and I found many similar vehicles that sold at $10-15,000. I submitted my findings and suggested a value of $12-13,000 would be acceptable. Another week or so later I was told no... the initial offer would remain the same. I was given the comparables that SGI had already paid an independent company to find, and saw that they too, where in the same range as mine, so why did I just waste me time? I knew some others that were dealing with an accident claim at the same time I was, and they were having the same experience. Why were we having to go through all this process, and how could I make it stop ?? It was at this point I followed some advice and contacted Dave Collins, of Trusty Motors in Delisle, to employ his appraisal and arbitrator skills. I quickly learnt a few things... First, that the minute I was offered $10,000 for my vehicle, I had a right to a cheque for that amount, that day, without giving up my right to negotiate for more. I didn’t need to go for weeks without a vehicle or money. Second I learnt to immediately sign a proof of loss, stating the value I expected, at take the negotiation straight to arbitration. I didn’t need to provide comparables to back up my value. (SGI had already paid someone to do it anyway !! ) Third, I learnt that SGI will also pay me the taxes on top of the settlement amount, when I replace the vehicle with another. Until I asked about it, SGI had not made that information available to me in any way, and maybe never would have. Fourth, I learnt I didn’t need to be involved in any of this !!! For a very small fee, Dave could look after it on my behalf, and the day I handed the claim to him, is the day the madness stopped. Following Dave’s advice, I went down to SGI, demanded a cheque, received it, signed the paperwork needed for arbitration, and took it all to Dave. Within days I had a settlement in the range I had expected, and went back to SGI and picked up another cheque for the balance they owed me. I gained 5 times what it cost me to have Dave make it stop. Done and Done !! I am amazed at how ill-informed I, and others, were about this. Fortunately Dave has provided an article on page 3 of this months RM Review to assist the next people that are going to be going through this. Please share this information. I recently read a press release from our Provincial Parks about booking campsites for this summer. The article stated that if you have any questions you could contact a person that works for them, who has the title of “Visitor Experience Co-ordinator’. Maybe SGI needs to create a similar position to improve how we, the customers, taxpayers and owners of this crown corporation are being treated. It wasn’t a good experience !

Problems with SGI ? Total Loss Vehicle ? Not Getting a Fair Offer ?
I
Arbitration is the Mechanism for Dispute Resolution
n 2013 CBC News obtained statistical information from SGI, to see if the concerns raised ABOUT WITHHELD arbitration INFORMATION are borne out in the corporation's figures. (see online article link below) According to the information, which covers the last five years, the use of arbitration has fallen even as the number of claims rose. In 2013 Paul McIntyre, a vice-president with the provincial Crown corporation, says SGI has been trying to reduce the need for arbitration. Now a year later Dave Collins, a professional appraiser and arbitrator states nothing has changed. “I am hearing the same stories I heard last year. When I ask insured's if the arbitration process is offered most state is was not offered as an alternative for claim resolution. So yes, Mr. McIntyre, your strategy is working... don't give the insured information about his or her rights to arbitration and a host of other things related to making it easier for a insured to seek a better settlement.” Contact this year 2014 with the Saskatchewan Ombudsman Brian Calder suggests this is in fact what is happening. Calder stated in conversation with Collins that “in a perfect world people would be told about their right to arbitration” ! So it's time to get the message out!
sured has to do a research on line or in the news paper for comparables to prove your right to arbitration that is not your job. SGI uses this tactic to stall the process in turn making you life more desperate. In most cases your search results will be dismissed by the adjuster so don't be fooled by this tactic. Once you have your arbitration paper work what can you expect?
Arbitration Is Your Right, Not A Privilege !
ARBITRATION is a right under the Saskatchewan Insurance act. HOW TO GET STARTED ON YOUR ARBITRATION . After SGI has made its offer and you feel you are being short changed on your vehicles value you as an insured have the right to demand the arbitration process by contact with your adjuster. At this point the adjuster may suggest contact with her or his superior to see if more money could be forth coming. Seldom does this bare any real improvement in the settlement offer. But it effectively shuts you down for maybe another week or two, all the time you are without your vehicle. Don't be stalled by suggestion that you the in-
INTERIM SETTLEMENT SGI is obligated to give you an in-term settlement or the amount of their initial offer. So if they offer you $5000 for your car or truck once the automobile proof of loss is filed (this is a document that your adjuster gives you to fill in your value) you will receive a cheque less any deductibles that are required right from your adjuster at the time you submit your automobile proof of loss form. This was initially put in place many years ago to help you thru the transition of arbitration to final settlement. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? Generally after the proof of loss document is received by your adjuster a time frame of 15 days under the insurance act SGI has to have a hearing with you or your chosen representative if resolution to the issue is not reached at this point an umpire is used to mediate your settlement value. Normally about two weeks is the turn around if your adjuster processes the file in a timely manner. FINAL SETTLEMENT Now you have gone thru the arbitration process and you have gained a better settlement what's next?
Food for Thought

Facing Forward
he political pattern is dimly showing up through the fog of rhetoric which is the meat and potatoes of election politics. One that is still just so much mambypamby (with the exception of the Green Party) is some definite direction with respect to the environmental issue which is going to overwhelm us soon. Without some definite approaches beyond “words” we are heading into a serious problem. One doesn’t have to be a “tree hugger” to recognize that blindly depending on our nonrenewable resources and leaving behind the tailings and CO2 has a finite and unpleasant ending. The oil extraction industry is the main, but not the only culprit. From the CO2 and
TAXES This is another area most people may miss. When you bought your car you paid taxes either 5%gst on a used car or 10% in the case of a new car or out of province used purchase; You have a right to demand taxes from SGI . In many cases adjusters do not inform the insured of this point and the insured misses out on more money. SGI is obligated to pay you tax on the settlement value or if your $5000 offer turns out to be $6500 thru the arbitration process you can expect up to $650 in taxes at the 10% level or $325 for 5% gst. No taxes are paid on private sales. These are the facts as put forward by Dave Collins of Trusty Appraisal Service Saskatoon, after 30 years of experience dealing with automotive arbitration against SGI.

methane release during extraction to the waste coke from bitumen, it is a polluter. Major improvements are being made but the task has just begun and progress requires far more positive attention from both government and the private sector. Other aspects such as automotive gasses, aluminum refining and manufacturing of most products add to the CO2 load. Chapter and verse of environmental policy must be one of the solid planks in the next government’s platform; with no exception. Vague references to “increased funding”, “increased regulations”, to limits on CO2 release are just window dressing without significant plans. Opinions are those of the author.

SCHOOL REPORTS www.rmreview.net
PIKE LAKE SCHOOL
DELISLE COMPOSITE SCHOOL
The staff and students at Pike Lake School are keeping busy with learning and also busy trying to keep warm. It is hard to believe that February has come to a close and that March has roared in! This means one thing; that the weather is bound to be improving soon. The Scholastic Book Fair at Pike Lake School was once again an amazing success. A huge thank you to Mrs. Knackstedt! Mrs. K’s Library was beautifully decorated and inviting to all! Also a special thanks to the Pike Lake School Families as well as the Pike Lake Community who came out to support the Scholastic Book Fair. The proceeds from the book fair will once again go towards the purchase of new high interest fiction and nonfiction books for the students of Pike Lake School. Our library will soon be gifted with a provincial publication, which has some of our own Pike Lake School students as the authors! Each year the Saskatchewan Reading Council, an organization dedicated to the development of literacy and the maintenance of quality literacy instruction, publishes a compilation of Saskatchewan students writing entitled, Young Saskatchewan Writers. This publication includes various writing genres from poetry to short stories and accepts submissions from students in Kindergarten to Grade Twelve. This year Pike Lake School is honored to have four students chosen to be included in this prestigious publication. A huge congratulation’s to Mercedes S., Blake E., Robert T.G., and Tyson B. for having their writing pieces selected out of the huge number of entries. A celebration of the young authors will be held in Saskatoon in June after the books have been bound. All we can say to our promising young Pike Lake School Writing Community is, Write On. The entire school staff was extremely overwhelmed with the abundance of food provided during Staff Appreciation Week! Our tummies were aptly filled with many scrumptious recipes to warm us from the inside out! We are extremely grateful to the wonderful parents and community members who so generously contributed to our lunch time hot meal potluck feast! Also much gratitude to the students who created such amazing and fitting tributes for the staff of Pike Lake School, we as a staff feel so blessed to be part of such an amazing school. Recently, our School Community Council had the opportunity to join Vanscoy School, Delisle Elementary, and Delisle Composite School to collaborate about school learning initiatives. The meeting promoted sharing of ideas and resources among the three communities in an effort to work together, as we share many students and school families. The meeting was a great success and reinforced the importance of parent and community engagement within a school. If you are interested in becoming a member of our School Community Council, please contact the school for more information. Our door is always open to new member from within our school family and members from our surrounding Pike Lake community.

Well the weather has gotten colder this March, so much so that it feels like a deep freeze, make sure to bundle up. While we are all trying to stay warm, there are many school events that will be taking place this month. The Sr. Girls will be hosting basketball conferences on February 28 & March 1st and the Sr. Boys basketball team will be heading to Dalmeny for their conferences as well. We wish both of these teams good luck. Delisle Composite has also planned a school wide ski trip to Table Mountain Ski Resort, on March 10th. Remember to be at the school by 7:00 AM, for the bus is leaving at 7:15 AM. Have a safe and fun day everyone!! Spirit Days this month will include: Throw Back Thursday 6 10-14 DCS Got Talent Formal Day 14 17 Green Day Rainbow Day 27 No School 28 Stay warm and safe!! Delisle Composite SRC
VANSCOY SCHOOL Welcome to another month at Vanscoy School! The boys and girls basketball teams are continuing to do very well. The season is close to an end, but they have had a lot of playing opportunities. The annual Handbell Assembly will take place on February 11th at 2:00 and the students are working very hard to prepare! The food bank fundraiser held before Christmas was a success and we raised over $300.00 as well as received many different foods, clothing, books and toys for all ages. Thanks to those who donated and to those who organized the food bank; Sara, Savannah, Andrew, and Dallas. The February break is fast approaching and will be from the 17th to the 21st. The students in grade eight are eagerly preparing for auditions for the Fine Arts Performance. The play this year is Treasure Island. Once parts have been determined, practising will be underway for all the upper grades. While it is a short month because of the break we anticipate many exciting events and opportunities.

M
anaging risk has always been a part of agriculture. However, it is becoming more complex with production risk, marketing risk and financial risk all part of the mix. Farmers and ranchers are learning that agriculture is a game with new rules, new stakes, and, most of all, new risks. Take for example the current situation with respect to marketing grains from Saskatchewan. High grain production in Saskatchewan in 2013 coupled with a low grain price in 2014 and slow grain movement has resulted in a higher risk environment for farmers. This situation has posed another set of questions regarding what and how much should be grown in 2014? Do farmers have enough storage for the 2014 crop when a significant amount of 2013 crop is still on the farm? How would they cope
Dwayne Summach Regional Livestock Specialist
Production Risk Management
with the cash flow for payments for the cost of production, debt financing, wages, etc.? There are several tools available to farmers to address the production risk. One of the oldest is enterprise diversification as it combines different production processes. Diversifying income sources, such as expanding the crop mix can be a tool to address income variability. However, the challenges to diversification can be time, cost and the skill sets needed to manage the diversity in the farm. The Ministry of Agriculture also provides support to farmers in various ways to mitigate risks. With respect to production and business risk management, Crop Insurance and Agristability are two major tools which can help mitigate the production risks. Private agriculture risk solutions also provide an-
other set of tools. Global Ag Risk Solutions is one such company that offers production risk insurance as a tool available for farmers. The federal-provincial agreement called Growing Forward 2 also offers assistance to producers to gain knowledge and skills to manage risk on the farm. Application for funding under the program called Farm Business Development Initiative (FBDI) offers funding for eight different business management areas including production economics and marketing strategy. Additional information may be obtained from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture’s website (http://www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca) or from our regional office in Outlook (306-867-5575) or from the Agriculture Knowledge Center at 1866-457-2377.
Feeding in Cold Weather
I
t is no secret that winter in Saskatchewan is cold. The dietary requirements of animals living outside in that cold are substantially higher than during times of moderate temperatures or thermoneutral conditions. When formulating rations for livestock, I often use long term average weather conditions to assist in calculating energy requirements, but how often do we actual experience average weather? So while I can formulate a ration to be in the vicinity of what the animal requires, it is still up to the person feeding that animal to make necessary adjustments based on actual current weather conditions. Producers that anticipate and make adjustments to rations in a timely manner based on observations, experience and forecasts, often coincide with operations that have livestock in good to
excellent condition. These animals produce healthy offspring that are less susceptible to disease and grow better. The thumb rule for making ration adjustments for a mature beef cow is to increase the amount of energy concentrate provided from grain or pellets by one pound for each increment of 5 degrees Celsius below minus 20. If your ration for the average weather condition of minus 20 was 4 pounds of barley and free choice hay, and you anticipate the daily mean temperature for the upcoming week as going to be minus 30, you would increase the amount of barley provided to 6 pounds per day. A common assumption made when developing rations is that the animals are protected from wind, thereby making the effective temperature the ambient temperature. If you expect the cows to go out and harvest their

own forage by swath grazing, corn grazing or bale grazing, it is unlikely that they will be in that protected setting during at least part of the day. The wind chill temperature is the more appropriate temperature to be using to determine the nutrient requirement. In the Kindersley region, the long term data indicates we should expect around 35 days a year where the wind chill is lower than minus 30 degrees Celsius. That means you should really be prepared to feed an extra 70 pounds of barley per cow over and above the calculated amount required based on the average climatic conditions for the winter.

Fraudulent Correspondence
As Canadians turn their minds to the upcoming tax filing season (It may seem strange for a politician to remind you of this!) I want to alert you to an issue of grave concern which has been brought to my attention by a number of constituents. Please beware of telephone calls, mail, or email that claim to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) but are not. These are phishing scams that could result in identity thefts. Email scams may also contain embedded malware, or malicious software, that can harm your computer and put your personal information at risk. The CRA does not email Canadians to request personal information! Canadians should especially beware of phishing scams asking for their personal information, such as social insurance, credit card, bank account, and passport numbers. Some of these scams ask for this personal information directly, and others refer the taxpayer to a Web site resembling the CRA's where the person is asked to verify their identity by entering personal information. Examples of recent email scams that have been circulating include notifications to taxpayers that they are entitled to a refund of a specific amount such as $521.51 or $671.08; or informing taxpayers that their tax assessment has been verified and they are eligible to receive a tax refund. These emails are not from the CRA. To better equip taxpayers to identify possible scams, the following guidelines should be used: The CRA does not do the following:
_The CRA never requests, by email, personal information of any kind from a taxpayer. _The CRA will never request information from a taxpayer pertaining to a passport, health card, or driver’s license. _The CRA will not divulge taxpayer information to another person unless formal authorization is provided by the taxpayer. _The CRA will not leave any personal information on an answering machine. When in doubt, ask yourself the following: _Am I expecting additional money from the CRA? _Does this sound too good to be true? _Is the requester asking for information I would not include with my tax return? _Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me? _How did the requester get my email address? _Am I confident I know who is asking for the information? The CRA has well-established practices to protect the confidentiality of taxpayer information. The confidence and trust that individuals and businesses have in the CRA is a cornerstone of Canada’s tax system. For more information about security of taxpayer information and other examples of fraudulent communications, go to www.cra.gc.ca/security. Anyone who receives a suspicious communication should immediately report it to info@antifraudcentre.ca or to the institution that the communication appears to be from.

Transportation Backlog February 26, 2014 Randy Weekes, MLA
O
ver the last few months we have been raising concerns about a transportation backlog that is hurting prices for producers, causing storage issues and cash flow problems. The delay in moving our record crop is also hurting Saskatchewan’s reputation as a reliable supplier. While grain transportation is a federal responsibility, it is in the best interests of our producers and our economy to ensure that it remains a top priority for everyone involved. To that end, our government recently set up a delegation to meet with grain and rail companies in an effort to find short-term solutions to the current backlog and to address future concerns. As a result of these meetings, we are asking the federal government to immediately oversee negotiations between the grain companies and railways that will establish specific parameters around getting grain from the farm gate to ships at port. On our end, we will continue to monitor basis levels to ensure they are reduced as grain car movement gets better. Railway companies have indicated that they are adding thousands more grain cars per week, something that will keep up until at least next December. To ensure service levels, it is important that we have agreements, with penalties, for both grain companies and railways. Our government is deeply troubled and appalled by the violent and brutal acts the world has witnessed in Ukraine. Our condolences go out to families of those who have been killed and our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been injured. We stand in support of a free and democratic Ukraine, where freedom of expression and the rule of law are guaranteed.
Our government has also reached out to the federal government, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and other groups to determine the most effective support we can provide in the coming days and weeks. We will act on that advice. In a show of support for all Ukrainians at home and around the world, we have raised the Ukrainian flag at the Saskatchewan Legislature.

The Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games bring out the best in our country. We watch as athletes achieve their dreams of representing their country on the international stage. Our athletes, our flag and our anthem remind us of how proud we are to be Canadian. Congratulations to all athletes, including 19 from Saskatchewan, for inspiring performances and special thanks to their coaches, family members and friends for supporting them. While we are proud of each competitors’ accomplishments, we also recognize a select group from our province who appeared on the podium. Mark McMorris, Hayley Wickenheiser, Ryan Getzlaf, Chris Kunitz and Patrick Marleau each earned medals in their respective snowboarding and hockey events. You made your home province and the entire country incredibly proud. Many of Saskatchewan’s younger athletes also made their mark recently as Prince Albert played host to the Saskatchewan Winter Games. These games build pride, inspire dreams and develop future Olympic champions. They also serve as an excellent reminder of our growing province and the benefits gained through physical activity and friendly competition. To all of the athletes, coaches, parents, volunteers and fans, thank you for contributing to a wonderful event.

Heather (Flach) Jean recalls that her grandfather (The Flach Orchestra) played many instruments while archives relate that his abilities were known through the district and Saskatoon. Music was in the air. “Learning” the fiddle, guitar or piano was more likely “done” by ear. (William Bentley’s children were provided with music lessons, but Max, learning quickly by ear, would be the accompanist as the family sang.) During the 40’s and 50’s Delisle became known for Saturday night dances and music by the Art Miller’s orchestra, many of whom played by ear; their repertoire was varied - popular songs, folk songs, old- time songs with dance steps not unlike the pattern dancing reintroduced by Norma and Keith Colburn. Our community also became acquainted with the arrangements of larger orchestras through the radio and visits to Saskatoon. During the early 60’s the Harris Home and School Association worked with the School District and raised funds to create junior and senior bands that went on to show well at festivals. A decline in population would find the bands merging with Tessier’s school until its dissolution.

Her networking, energy and good will would prepare the foundation for Friday evening concerts. Within a somewhat more formal context, children and parents have for some time been able to access the notable and nationally recognized Music for Young Children program as taught in Laurali Fehr’s studio. Laurali’s Facebook, a musical treat, is mesmerizing and difficult to set aside. Though parenting is one of her several careers we hope that she will be able to set aside some time to discuss her “life” in Music.” In addition to Laurali, an introduction to the music of Neil Roston and that of Graham Dyck will be left to another article. Neil is known through his participation in the 2013 Culture Days and quite possibly his very active career within the Saskatoon “blues” set. A member of the Saskatoon Blues Society, he has just concluded participating in the Blues Festival. A detailed biography is available on various websites, however, the CBC Night Stream / Web Radio site will offer not only the “bio” but several cuts of his work. Graham Dyck is very well known in the district and more currently involved in studies and employment in the Saskatoon area. That said, Graham is gaining popularity as a singer in the Sinatra/ Buble genre, plays piano and guitar and sings with a trio/ band from time to time. He has recently released a CD (Just for You). Check-out his Facebook and look to the CBC radio site for his biography. During a recent discussion, Graham mentioned his interest in the music of Swade Orchard, a multi – talented young man, very much of this time and place – expressing himself within our current technology and social media. A student at the Delisle Composite School, Swade is also a hockey player, vocalist, guitarist, song-writer, a videographer in the making and well able to hold your attention. I was taken with his Owl City “Christmas Song,” the supporting video as well as his current project, Birds of the Beach (a series of videos with song.) One file, “Grow-Up” relates the composer’s thoughts on a particular day and the comment… “I want to be many different things. It’s hard to choose.” At another time he would offer “I would like to learn about music and what I can do to make it different and unusual.” He would also suggest that thoughts that are emotionally heavy seem to take longer to put into words. And though he doesn’t like love songs, “they seem easiest right now.” An artist’s dilemma. Swade prefers instrumental music and the less mainstream; “it’s less about my imagination and more about the listener because they can hear whatever they want to instead of me telling them in words.” If you want to watch and listen to several of Swade’s preferences, visit ventureproductionz-youtube.
