R.M. of Vanscoy Rate Payers Dinner
T
he R.M. of Vanscoy council held it’s annual Ratepayers Dinner and Meeting on April 9th. About 100 people enjoyed a catered roast beef meal, from Robin’s Nest Cafe in Vanscoy, to start the evening. The meeting began with Councillor Ron Stevens announcing that Administrator Shawn Antosh will be retiring after 25 years of service. After that the inaugural Citizen of the Year Award being presented to Linda Wright for her years of contribution to the community. Nominations for 2014 can be made until December 31. That was followed be a report from Councillor George Kool regarding the roads in the RM. The RM spends over $1 million on gravel alone, and the wet weather in the last two years has added to the up-keep challenges. They are beginning a 5
year plan to build new roads and currently have 4 graders that they will be replacing every 4 years. Reeve Floyd Chapel reported on the province’s intention to twin highway 7 from the Cory potash mine to Delisle. He said the province expects to do the project in three phases; Phase 1 will bring the divided blacktop from Cory to one mile east of Vanscoy, Phase 2 will take the new highway north of the Village of Vanscoy to one mile west of the Village, Phase 3 will see the highway finished from west of Vanscoy through to Delisle. There has been much concern expressed by the community, to the province, regarding the bypassing of Vanscoy. It will effectively limit future growth for the Village between the new highway to the north and the rail line on the south side of the existing highway, plus cause local traffic, like school buses
to cross the divided highway to get to Vanscoy. There were presentations from three guest speakers. Ray Orth, V.P. of SARM, which the RM is a member of, spoke on their recent activities. Gord Sparks, from the U of S, made a presentation showing how organizations like Municipal Governments, use Asset Management accounting to budget to maintain roads, bridges and buildings. Jeff Dickson, Community Relations for STARS Air Ambulance, gave an insightful presentation on the role STARS plays in our lives right here. They have been called to our area 32 times in 2013. He encouraged rural residents to register their locations directly with STARS for fastest response time. You can go to their website at www.stars.ca or call 888-888-4567.
2013 Citizen of the Year
T
he RM of Vanscoy awarded their first annual Citizen of the Year Award to Linda Wright. Linda was nominated for here tireless efforts with the Vanscoy & District Agricultural Society. Linda moved from Saskatoon to Vanscoy in August of 2001. She recalls, “One day in Feb 2001 my husband came home from doing business at the Agrium Potash mine and he said to me ‘I found us an acreage’ and I still remember saying, I didn’t know we were looking for one”. She was excited when she learnt there was a community fair, as she had grown up as a child participating in fair activities. Within a couple of years of living in the community, there was a notice that membership was low and that there was a need for community involvement. She attended a meeting and has been involved ever since serving as a director and for several years and currently as the president. The Society is a non-profit organization of volunteers with the goal of ‘Promoting Agriculture & Rural Living through Education, Entertainment and Community Development’. Some of the workshops and classes offered over the years were Quilting workshops, Knitting workshops, Perennial Exchange,
B
Boat Safe course, Food Safety course, a Pulse food workshop and a Farm Safety Day held last Sept, which was offered to grade 4 and 5 students. They also offer a $500 Bursary to Grade 12 Students who live within the RM. They celebrated the 30th Annual Summer Fair in 2013, with a light horse show, gymkhana, exhibits and Kidsland. “One of our major accomplishments for 2013 was the Rejuvenation of the Riding Arena located in the Village of Vanscoy” says Linda, “Hopefully, many riders will make use of this facility for years to come. “I would like the residents of the RM to understand is that the Society includes all of the RM” says Linda “which means Asquith, Delisle, Vanscoy, Grandora, and Pike Lake. I encourage you to get involved or let us know other classes, courses or events that we could sponsor”. “I thank the RM of Vanscoy for this wonderful award as well as the nominator who felt that I was worthy. This is very humbling, as those who volunteer do not expect recognition”. She also thanks the directors of the Society for “ believing in my leadership and the things that we accomplished as an organization”.

New Restaurant Set to Open in Delisle
erit Bartles will soon be opening the Homestead Restaurant in Delisle. Berit is a cook with over 35 years of experience in the industry. She and her husband immigrated from Germany in 2009. For the last couple of years she worked as a line cook at “Calories” in Saskatoon, but has always wanted to have her own restaurant again. Berit would like to run it the way she used to with home style cooking of typical German (and European) meals. The menu will include some of the "common dishes" but Berit hopes,
INDEX
that her guests will try out the "little different food". (ask for a sample, if you are unsure if you will like it.) The Homestead will not be a fast food restaurant, everything is made from scratch, with fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers, and ‘a lot of love’. In addition to the menu, she will have daily specials posted in the restaurant each day. Berit expects to open the doors sometime in the first week of May. Check out her website for the menu and watch for an announcement on her opening.

Youth Group Dines Out in Style
O
n April 3rd the Delisle-Vanscoy United Church Youth Group were treated to an evening of wonderful food and fun. The group knew they were having a progressive supper, but didn’t know where they would be going to dine, and even better, how they were going to get there. At 4:00pm Living Skies Limousine pulled up to the United Church in Delisle with their limo-bus and the excitement began. They headed out of town to the home of Garth & Lynn Bayne where a wonderful spread of appetizers had been prepared with the help of their daughter Susan. They introduced themselves by their alien names (your name pronounced backwards) and made up
a meaning for that name. This became the introduction at each stop of the progressive supper. They then boarded the limo-bus again and proceeded to the home of Margo & Lorne Knittig where they enjoyed a delicious soup and salad course. From there they traveled to the Vanscoy Senior Centre where they enjoyed a wonderful potluck main course and the company of many Vanscoy senior citizens. They then had an entertaining trip to the home of Nettie Wiebe for mouth-watering desserts. At 8:00pm the group returned to the United Church, very full and absolutely delighted with the whole evenings experience. A special thank you bouquet was presented to each of the dinners hosts. A huge thank you to James Rolston for donating his time and the use of the limobus from Living Skies Limousine. Being together as a group in the limo during the travels made the evening extra-special. By Debbie Rolston

Food for Thought One Step Ahead, and Two Back
A
s I recall, the function of a university is to provide students with a post-secondary education, or at least that was the way it was until about 1945. Then a whole new crop of PhD’s came on board and research became a driving force that began to eclipse the academic responsibilities. University Outreach became an after-thought and professors received little or no credit for their efforts in the community beyond the Ivory Towers. And of course the industrial complex advanced with its own development research, but depending on universities for their basic studies. That was the science colleges, and all the while the arts languished from a lack of financial support to their scholarly requirements. But the wisdom-of-the-day was to build ever larger buildings for the sciences with elaborate laboratories and of

course more research directed professors and their support staff. In the case of the College of Agriculture, it grew from Department Heads plus a Dean and one secretary to a Dean’s office with several specialists with no academic responsibilities. And unfortunately it didn’t end there, because the administration of the University grew disproportionately as staff were added each time there was a new initiative. Professors were treated like tame caged specimens in the hope that they would spawn money-making inventions. For all the heavy-weight planners at the federal, provincial and university levels they couldn’t devise a method of sustaining the core objective of a university: to teach students at the post-secondary level. Opinions are those of the author.

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL
PIKE LAKE SCHOOL
Welcome to May, although as I am writing this, welcome to December seems more appropriate! We keep singing our spring songs at preschool in the hopes that spring weather will appear, but I think we will probably jump from winter to summer. Preschool started off in April on April Fool's Day. I changed the room around, mixed up our routine, and played a few more jokes on the students. They seemed to catch on by the end of the day. Both groups made ducks for Yellow Day and they also learned about the number 8, making octopi and spiders. The 4-year olds enjoyed making play-dough one day and creating pictures with coloured eggshells on another day. Both groups had lots of fun at their Easter parties, colouring eggs, hunting for candy, and playing Easter games. There are lots of days in May for both groups! Throughout the month we will learn about the number 9 and the colour purple, as well as make Mom something special. I am hoping to do some field trips, bring in special people, and visit with the Kindergartens at Pike Lake during the month. Hopefully this weather turns around and we can start to spend more of our days outside. Read all about our May adventures next month!
With the coming of spring we at Pike Lake School are appreciative of all the growth and change that has occurred throughout the current school year. We are also looking towards planting new seeds to enhance and grow current learning initiatives.

VANSCOY SCHOOL Welcome to the month of May! April was a fairly busy month. Our badminton season came to an end. Thanks to all of the teams who participated and represented our school at playoffs. Our Fine Arts Performance of “Treasure Island” went very well. A huge pat on the back goes to all the performers and staff that were involved in making it another successful event. We had our school Bingo, which brought out a lot of people. We appreciate all who attended and the people who put the night together, as it was a very positive evening. Eric Wilson visited our school and talked to the students about the importance of literacy. He was very engaging and the students took a lot away from his presentation. With nice weather hopefully around the corner we have our Track and Field season starting. Students from grades 6 to 8 will be practicing hard during the month or May to represent our school. We hope you have a great May!
DELISLE COMPOSITE SCHOOL Another month has come and gone, but the excitement is still here. We have many things to share with you this month. Our badminton teams played exceptionally well this year, we are proud of you!! Track and Field preseason conditioning has also begun so get your running shoes and throwing arms ready. There is a track meet in Moose Jaw on the May the 3rd; we hope everyone competing does well! There are also a few important dates to note in the upcoming month: May 2- Gym Blast: make sure to wear your team colors!! May 19- No School For the past months students from Delisle Composite have been preparing to head out on the annual travel club trip. This year we were lucky enough to have two trips offered: a Germany trip and a Switzerland and Italy trip. We have heard nothing but good stories from these two trips and we look forward to hearing even more. Another big event that has been happening in our school is out annual heritage fair. The displays this year were spectacular and we were lucky enough to be able to go and listen to some of them. We hope that all of you keep up your incredible work ethic! We hope you all have a great month and you’ll hear from us again next month! Delisle Composite SRC

Exciting learning connected to our literacy goal continued at Pike Lake School with our second author presentation of 2014! Indeed, we had the pleasure of welcoming Canadian author, Eric Wilson, to our school. Mr. Wilson spoke to our Grade 3 and 4 students about his collection of mystery novels. He also discussed his journey as a writer, emphasizing to our students the important steps and skills it takes to be an effective writer. The students were captivated by his engaging presentation and inspired to become better readers and writers. Mr. Wilson also provided some concrete tips for the students to improve their own written stories and provided insight on how to become an author themselves. In the end Eric Wilson’s vision of having children read enthusiastically and with passion was met in Pike Lake School. Indeed, Mr. Wilson’s books have been flying off the library shelves since his visit. The School Community Council Annual General Meeting and elections will take place on Wednesday, May 7th @ 3:30 p.m. at the school. The SCC is a great way for parents and guardians to become involved in our school happenings! It is a wonderful opportunity to play a role in positive changes to improve student learning within our school. We encourage you to give this School Community Council a try! All nomination forms should be returned to the school on or before Wednesday, May 7th, 2014. Did you know that kids who spend time in nature aren’t just less stressed – they’re more creative, have sharper memories and attention spans, and even have better social relationships! To help everyone in our school be better at the above, we are going to take on the 30 X 30 Nature Challenge presented by the David Suzuki Foundation (DSF). During the month of May, DSF is asking Canadians to pledge to spend 30 minutes in nature every day for 30 days! Our school will be taking on that challenge with gusto!! Dates to Remember May 1 – Math Olympics Nigh/ 30 Minute Challenge begins May 5 – Anti-Bullying Presentation in Vanscoy (a.m.) May 7 – SCC Annual General Meeting @ 3:30 p.m. May 23 – Volunteer Appreciation @ 2:05 p.m. May 29 – Wedding/Formal Spirit Day/Hot Meal

Students are taking part in reader’s workshop, inquiry projects, and diving deeper into using the comprehension strategies. We are excited to see the benefits of parents/guardians continuing to work with students at home. The benefits of parents talking to their children about themselves as readers are truly immeasurable. Discussing with young readers the books that they read and helping them to choose the ‘just right’ books for their reading abilities has truly improved students reading confidence at Pike Lake School. It is fantastic to look at our reading results and see growth in all of our students. We are proud of the work that we do at Pike Lake School and believe that student success should be acknowledged and celebrated! Well done, students!

Rock your Yard this Summer L
ocal resident Diane Netskar, owner of ‘Like a Rock’, provides creative landscaping solutions with DEKORRA Rock Enclosures. The product line includes artificial Rocks, Edging and Garden & Water features. The hollow rocks come in various sizes and colors and are ideal for covering unsightly utilities in your yard such as septic tanks, wells, electrical boxes, tree stumps or anything else that detracts from the natural beauty of your yard. They also make beautiful additions to your landscaping, even if you don’t need to specifically hide anything. They are made of ‘Real Rock’ material that will not fade from sunlight or crack in the cold. The rocks are light weight and come with heavy duty ground stakes to secure them outdoors. Their use is not just limited to yards. They make wonderful additions to trade show booths, ex-
hibits, product demonstrations or whatever your imagination comes up with. They come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes to fit any application you have. Aside from the natural looking rock enclosures there are also planters, edging rocks and water features. They even offer custom plaques if you want to display your house address on a rock structure. When it comes to landscaping with replicated rocks, Diane has some design techniques to keep in mind... Unity by Dominance - the property of a plant or object to attract and hold attention, making the object an important feature or focal point. The ability of an object to capture attention usually depends on contrast with adjacent objects utilizing color, size, form, texture, etc.
Unity of Three - the concept of everything fitting together. Features that are grouped in threes, or in other groups of odd numbers, five or seven, feel more balanced to the eye and give a stronger sense of unity than even numbers. Odd numbers allow for staggered variations in height, such as small, medium and large, that provide more interest. Odd numbers are often seen or perceived as a group.
In order to help you experience the benefits of these exciting products Diane has provided a 20% off coupon for the RM Review Yard & Garden Contest, be
sure to enter today at www.rmreview.net So, if you have something to hide, you can count on Diane, she is... “Like a Rock” !!
Unity of Interconnection the concept of physical linking (touching) of various features. Although all features are linked to other features, the key is to make the linkage seamless so that the features blend in or fit. Unity by Simplicity - the concept of reducing nonessentials to DEKORRA replicated rock from ‘Like a Rock’ avoid a chaotic look that result used in a yard to display the house address in clarity and purpose.

AGRICULTURE REPORTS Travis Peardon Regional Cold Livestock Specialist
recently read an article that pointed out that calf birth weights are often higher in winters where daytime temperatures have been lower that the historical average. According to Environment Canada the five year average temperature for the month of February in the west central area of Saskatchewan is minus 12 degrees Celsius. The average temperature for this area in February for 2014 was minus nineteen degrees Celsius. This spurred me to do some further digging – was this an old wives tale, or could it be true? In the 1990’s researchers from the University of Nebraska conducted a study on birth weight and calving difficulties as impacted by winter weather. For six years data was collected from March calving heifers of similar breeding that were all bred using artificial in-

semination to the same calving-ease Angus bull (same bull used over the six year study). Average and wind chill temperatures from December – February of each year were recorded, all calves were weighed at birth and any heifers requiring assistance were noted. Interestingly, calving weights were heaviest and calving difficulty was greater in the colder years. This group found almost a 1:1 relationship between decrease in average temperature and increase in birth weight of the calf. For every one degree Fahrenheit drop in average or wind chill temperature, there was roughly a one pound increase in calf birth weight. A one degree Fahrenheit drop would be equivalent to a ~0.56 degree Celsius drop. The theory behind the increase in weight lies in the premise that mammals shift blood
flow from the extremities to major internal organs during extreme cold. As a result of this shift in blood flow, more blood and more nutrients flow to the fetus. In addition, voluntary feed intake increases during bouts of cold weather and there are changes in various hormones that regulate fetal growth. Given that the average temperature in February was seven Celsius degrees below the historical average, this could equate to calves that are ~12.5 pounds heavier than we might expect. It is important to note that under no circumstances should we reduce feed levels or amount of energy in late pregnancy diets in an attempt to reduce birth weight. Reducing energy and feeding will cause weak calves and thin cows, and thin cows will have poor conception rates during the breeding season.

he availability of labour is becoming a bigger issue on many farms. This gets more challenging when available workers are also attracted to other competing businesses which offer higher wages and more benefits. In this article I will focus on the labour availability. There are two principal sources of farm labour pools: (1) finding and hiring a skilled labourer from suitable local sources, and (2) hiring from the international pool. Local sources include the farmers who have rented their land, adults from other farms in area, and relatively young retirees from other industries that remain in the community and who still want to work. Even those who are not directly connected to a farm could be a good source. If they are interested in agriculture, they may be a good employee but they will probably need some training.
Sarah Sommerfeld, P.Ag Regional Seeding a New Forage Stand? Forage ‘What to Consider’ Specialist
The Ag Operator program from Parkland College is a program that provides training to labourers who have no experience or it could be another source for skilled farm labourers. A pilot project of the Agricultural Operator Program is offering hands-on training to individuals interested in or currently working in primary agriculture. For more information, please contact the Parkland College at www.parklandcollege.sk .ca or phone 1-306-7836566. The second option is finding and recruiting labourers through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) for international workers. Under the TFWP, the workers must be from Mexico or certain other Caribbean countries and the activities must be related to on-farm primary agriculture. For more information
on hiring a TFW, please contact Human Resource development Canada at http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/j obs/foreign_workers/agr iculture/comparison.sht ml Also, several local farm labour consulting firms can also help find and recruit farm labourers for the producer from both local as well as international sources mentioned above. Please note that the consultants must be registered with Saskatchewan Ministry of Economy. As farmers realize they are becoming managers of people they may like to upgrade their human resource skills. The Ministry of Agriculture offers funding for human resource management under the program called Farm Business Development Initiative of Growing Forward 2.

f you are planning to seed a new forage stand this spring, there are questions to consider before putting any seeds into the ground. Are there any 1. weed issues present in the area to be seeded? Identifying and controlling any weed issues prior to forage establishment is crucial. Close attention should be given to perennial weeds. Perennial weeds are very competitive with forages during establishment and can significantly reduce future forage yields. Control of perennial weeds can be difficult and expensive once the forage stand is established, so make the effort to control them prior to seeding. Be mindful of the re-cropping restrictions that follow with herbicide use for perennial weed control. Herbicides with the active ingredients of picloram, metsulfuron methyl or aminopyralid, all have long term re-cropping restrictions. There are also limited in-crop herbicide options available for use on forages, especially legume/grass mixed stands. 2. What are the soil conditions of the area to be seeded? Knowing the type of soil and growing conditions of the area will aid in selecting the most suitable forage species. Forage species are not equal in their capability to tolerate conditions such as drought, flooding or salinity. Taking the time to look into which forage species are suitable for specific soil conditions will be worth the effort. A producer
should also consider submitting a soil sample for nutrient analysis. Soil test results help determine the fertilizer requirements for the new forage crop and indicate any nutrient deficiencies that may limit forage production. It is important to remember that grasses will benefit the most from nitrogen, while legumes will benefit from phosphorus, potassium and sulphur applications. A balanced approach to soil fertility is important. If any one nutrient is lacking, production will be affected and the response to applying other nutrients will be reduced. 3. What is the intended use for this forage stand? Identifying the end use of the forage stand will help to select forage species suited for the intended purpose. Most forage stands are grown for hay, pasture or a dual role. When harvested as a hay crop, the forage stand may include a large proportion of alfalfa or grasses that have a higher yield potential and a slower rate of regrowth. If the forage stand is to be used for grazing, the stand may include grasses that have excellent regrowth qualities with a very low proportion of alfalfa or no alfalfa at all. Alternatively, non-bloat legumes, such as sainfoin and cicer milkvetch, may be considered for use in a grazing system. Non-bloat legumes can be used in mixtures with alfalfa and/or grasses to improve the forage yield, quality and to reduce the risk of bloat.

4. How long do you intend to keep this forage stand in production? Forage species differ in stand persistence. Choosing forages that meet the goals of the crop rotation is important. A short duration forage stand integrated into an annual crop rotation will contain different forage species than a long lived forage stand intended for ground cover, reclamation or restoration. Decide on the forage species to include in a mixture based on your answers to the above questions. Forage seed companies offer a wide range of pre-mixed forage seed options, but will also prepare custom blended forage mixtures to meet specific producer goals. For more information on forage selection and establishment considerations, contact the Regional Forage Specialist at (306)867-5559 or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-4572377.

Bentley Coben Receives 2014 Canadian Outdoors Hall of Fame Award
O
n March 8 & 9, 2014 the City of Yorkton held its annual Parkland Outdoors Show & Expo. It was well attended with over 100 exhibits and a banquet for 300 people on Saturday evening. That evening proved to be a surprise and well deserved honour for on of our own local boys. I spoke with the head organizer of the event, Darren Wandy, and he explained that 2014 is the first year for the award for the Canadian Outdoors Hall of Fame, which can include a ide range of individual contributions, always promoting the outdoors. Bentley Coben of Delisle received the award in this inaugural year. In the words of Darren Wandy, “Bentley created some of the earliest production of wildlife videos, with such interest and artistry, that he has become a living legend”. Bentley was presented the
award by Cody Robbins. The following is an excerpt from Cody’s speech... “From a boy growing up in Delisle, his passion for the outdoors has been over the top ever since day one. Whether running the trap lines with his Uncle Jacky, or pushing bush with his brothers, or on a fine goose hunt with his father, he has always wore a smile a mile wide. Bentley has taken hardcore shed hunting to a whole new level. He has amassed the greatest single shed antler collection on the planet today. His love for hunting, wildlife and the great outdoors runs deeper than deep. Along with his loving wife Diane, this man has devoted much of his life to giving his children, Blake and Jason, and other young hunters, the opportunity to experience the great outdoors. In the heart of hunting season, when the focused trophy hunter is dialed in on his prize, this selfless gentle-
man has a truckload of hunting rookies along by his side as he outs heart and soul into helping make their dreams come true. Bently Coben was one of the first to produce real life hunting videos and has entertained us with his colorful stories on film. He has always promoted the attitude of positive thinking and helping others that don’t have the same opportunities”. By Don & Penny Hill

s the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources, I have the pleasure of serving on the House of Commons’ Standing Committee for Natural Resources. Over the past number of weeks this Committee has been studying the benefits to Canada as a whole in developing our oil and gas resources. This has been an interesting and eye-opening study for all committee members. When most people hear about the development of oil and gas, such as the oil sands in Alberta or Newfoundland’s offshore oil, we often equate the economic benefits only to those regions where the resource is located. However, the Natural Resources Committee has heard from many witnesses on how the benefits are seen in every region of the country. For example, the Canadian Steel Producers Association told us how iron ore is mined in MontWright and Havre Ste. Piere Quebec, is then processed at facilities located in Sorel-Tracy Quebec and Hamilton Ontario, then made into pipes in factories in Sault Ste Marie Ontario, Regina Saskatchewan and Calgary Alberta which is then sent to the oil patch. This is just one of the many examples we heard.
You can listen to testimony (or read the meeting transcripts) which the Committee heard during the course of this study by visiting the Parliament of Canada website. Thousands of high-paying, skilled jobs all across Canada rely on the oil and gas industry. This is why our Conservative Government is committed to the responsible development of this industry.

Saskatchewan is a Growing Province April 23, 2014 Randy Weekes, MLA
S
askatchewan is a growing province with a growing need for maternal and children’s health services. It is important that we not only design and build a Children’s Hospital, but also that we deliver a facility that is going to meet our needs now and into the future. With a growing population, we have reaffirmed our commitment to the Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan with a further investment of $20 million and approval of expansion plans to add 24 inpatient beds. Additional funding will add nine inpatient maternal rooms and 15 inpatient rooms to children’s services, for a total of 176 private inpatient beds. Our government has heard directly from staff and physicians that increasing the number of inpatient beds will ensure we’re meeting the needs of families. This expansion plan will increase the overall size of the new hospital by 11 per cent (approximately 38,000 square feet) and bring the province’s total investment in the project to $235.5 million. The Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, an example of our government’s commitment to putting patients first, is now targeted to open in 2017.
North American pipeline system. Considering that a large number of rail cars have been diverted to ship oil, this latest delay doesn’t help the transportation challenges our producers are currently facing.

www.randyweekes.ca randyweekes.mla@accesscomm.ca nection, our government is investing in post-secondary education to ensure it is both accessible and affordable.
This particular pipeline has been studied long and hard with the facts supporting its construction. This delay represents a major blow to the energy industry in Saskatchewan and in Canada and will place unnecessary strain on relations with our largest trading partner.
We’re expanding training seats, making capital investments at our universities and regional colleges and investing in tax credits like the Graduate Retention Program, the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship and the Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings.
Saskatchewan continues to experience a strong demand for skilled and educated workers, according to the latest listings at SaskJobs.ca. Nearly half of the 15,644 available positions that were featured in March required higher-skilled workers. Demand was particularly strong for candidates with a post-secondary certificate, diploma or apprenticeship training.
Since 2008, there has been a 40 per cent increase in the number of First Nations and Métis people in Saskatchewan who have a university degree and an overall 18 per cent increase in the number of
Our government is deeply concerned with the U.S. State Department’s announcement that it will delay its final decision on the proposed TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline. Facts support its construction and these politically motivated decisions are hurting our economy. A portion of the 2,700 kilometre project would run through our province, providing jobs and freeingup pipeline capacity so that more Saskatchewan oil can enter the

Saskatchewan workers with a postsecondary certificate, diploma or degree. A new poll by Insightrix Research suggests that if a provincial election were held today, over 63 per cent of decided voters would support the Saskatchewan Party. This result is humbling, as is the opportunity to serve in government, a responsibility we never take for granted. Of course, we know the only poll that really matters is Election Day and we intend to continue working hard to earn the support of voters while keeping Saskatchewan on the path of steady growth.

Saskatchewan grain, potash, and other commodities suffer every day the Keystone XL Pipeline is not being built. This wavering on the part of the U.S. Administration is also hurting our ability to develop new markets and support North America energy sustainability.
The Saskatchewan Plan for Growth outlines our government’s focus on education, training and developing a skilled workforce. We continue to work with educational institutions and employers to address existing barriers by creating new training seats, including another 300 new apprenticeship seats and 700 new spots added to the Adult Basic Education program.

COMMUNITY REPORTS Amazing Space - Delisle & District Arts Council
I
n a small town there are only so many places that you can possibly host an event. Some options might include the local churches, schools, hall, lodge room, seniors’ centre, and curling or skating rink. The choice will be narrowed down further based on availability, cost to rent, amount of floor space and the availability of features such as tables, chairs, sound system or a kitchen. But did you ever consider that some people may not attend your event if it’s hosted in a certain location? There seems to be the perception that if an event is hosted at the seniors’ centre that it’s geared towards seniors. Or that an event at the Church is only for people of that congregation. Or that events at the local schools are only for families with children who attend those schools. Or that the rink is only for curlers and skaters. Not true! I’m not sure what the reason is behind it... perhaps people feel intimidated, or uncomfortable going to an unfamiliar space. Maybe it’s that we need to help newcomers feel more welcome in these spaces rather than assume that everyone knows their way around these facilities. Or is it simply in the way that we advertise to promote community events? – we need to be clear that all members of the community are encouraged to attend! We are lucky to have these shared public spaces available to us in our communities. The United Church in Delisle is the perfect venue for the Friday night Concert Series with its sound system, tall ceilings, adequate seating capacity, and space for socializing after the concert. The community choir has also decided to use this space – meeting on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm. The school is the perfect location for art, dance and gymnastic classes, local business expos, and fundraisers such as the Laura 4-H Club Silent Auction and Vanscoy Elementary School Family Bingo Night (both happened earlier in April) or the upcoming Delisle Elementary School
Fun Night on June 5th. In the off-season, the rink is a great space for craft sales, summer youth camps, and large wedding receptions. If you are needing space to host a meeting, don’t forget about the lodge room, the Seniors’ Activity Centre or a church. Making use of these multi-purpose spaces helps to cover their operating costs and will ensure that they are maintained and available to our communities for many years to come. The buildings in our small towns are amazing spaces. They are a meeting place to bring the community together - helping us to feel connected. Step out of your comfort zone if necessary and be sure to attend the next local event in your community - no matter where it is! Upcoming Dates: Delisle Friday Night Concert Series - May 23rd Jeffery Straker - Tickets are being sold in advance.

he Delisle Bruins held their annual awards night at the Delisle curling rink on Saturday April 12th. The Bruins invited the senior hockey team that won provincials 3o years ago to join them at the awards night. Daryl Souster was the MC for the evening, welcoming everyone and thanking all the sponsors and fans for their support throughout the hockey season. Doris Pattison said grace and led the crowd in a minute of silence for members of the 1984 hockey team who have passed away, Dan Hill, John Hnatuk, and Ron Vetter, plus hockey player Scott Kielo and team treas-
urer Gibb Henderson. The Delisle Service Club served a delicious roast beef dinner which was enjoyed by all. Darrell Starling and Barry Oviatt called up the presenters of the awards to this years winners. Darrell and Barry also thanked all the players, sponsors, fans and everyone else who helped with the team this year. Team captain Jeff Durham thanked coaches and managers Jimmy Climenhaga, Barry Oviatt, Darrell Starling and Daryl Souster for all the hard work and dedication to the hockey team. He presented them each with a gift on behalf of the
hockey players. Bob Boeschen, who was the player/coach of the 1984 Provincial winning team, reminisced about the playoff run that year, and told a few stories about the players and winning provincials. Comedian/singer Jimmy Jangles called up the team from 1984 and had them join him in singing the Good Old Hockey. He also poked fun at the players nicknames. The players from 1984 enjoyed visiting and reliving the memories of their team during the evening and looking through at an old photo album brought by Dana Norris. By Nancy Durham
Blessing of the Animals
E
veryone is invited to a Blessing of the Animals Service on May 4th at the Vanscoy Circle Hall. Praise God and celebrate the animals that make our lives richer because of their presence.
Bring your beloved animals to the service on a leash or in a kennel. Each animal will receive a special blessing. (Very large animals can be tied up outside and we will go outside to bless them.) If your pet will not appreciate coming to the service
“in person,” please bring a photograph of them instead. Service starts at 11:00am and will be followed by a potluck lunch. For more information contact Jordan Cantwell at jcantwell@sasktel.net or 306-933-2942.
