Delisle Senior Centre Celebrates 20 Years

Members attend Anniversary Celebrations on October 30th
n 1991 the growing membership of the Delisle Senior Citizens Club decide it was time to move out of the basement of the Delisle Hospital and find a more comfortable home. One with wheel chair accessibility and better fire safety. Delisle Town Council, initially apprehensive, became a strong supporter of the project. Henry Janzen was chosen as the

A kitchen that would make any other community facility envious contractor and fundraising began. A Federal ‘New Horizons’ grant provided $15,000, and another $130,000 was to come through fundraising. Flea markets, bake sales, raffles, dances, catering, bottle drives and $37,000 just from working many smokey bingos in Saskatoon, eventually raised all but $30,000. The Town of Delisle provided a loan to cover the shortfall, and the project was eventually com-
pleted in October 1993. Extra efforts from Bud Crilly, Ivan Smith and John Gross who worked with Emil Chizek in his garage to build the tables, and Gord Pattison who welded the trolleys, and too many others to name, made the project possible. The first event was the 50th wedding anniversary of Cliff & Grace Winder, and since, many fond memories have been born at the facility.

Editorial
Who Paid for your “ Day Off with Pay ? ”
I
’m ashamed to admit that for the past couple of years I have not attended a Remembrance Day service. It’s not like I don’t have the time. After all, it is a stat. holiday. A day off with pay. I live no more than a couple of minutes from at least 3 different services held at local schools.
a supper service in Delisle (I needed a break). Then he would eventually work his way back home to Vanscoy for a nightcap at the hotel with his friends and neighbors, where I would catch up with him again. I always admired his spirit and energy on that day.
My son and I had been attending a service every year for about 10 years with our local veteran and friend, Jimmy Chovin. Sadly we lost Jimmy a few years ago and I just stopped going. Jimmy had befriended us the first day I met him. Just as he had many other members of the community, of all ages. He was the only grandfather figure in my son’s life over those years. He taught him to ‘cheers’ with a drink, and his patience, warmth and sense humour made both my son and I better people. As well, he taught us about the sacrifices that all of our veterans had made and the burdens that he and others have carried since those days. Many of his friends in the community visit his grave every Remembrance Day, not only to show respect for what he had sacrificed all those many decades ago, but also for what he brought to their lives for the many years since then.
What I really noticed on these days though, was that everywhere we went, people wanted to pay for his drink. Not only his, but any veteran or current member of our armed services that happened to be around us. It is not hard to understand that anyone who had done what he had, and seen what he had seen, would maybe need a stiff drink or two on Remembrance Day, while once again facing past memories that never go away, and only those that had been there could ever can understand.
While Jimmy was still here, his family, many of whom followed in his footsteps to serve our country, would gather each year on Remembrance Day. I had the honor of being included like a member of their family. It still remains as the best feeling of acceptance I have enjoyed outside of my family. They would dress in their uniforms and we would go to Saskatoon to the service at, then, SaskPlace. The first time they took me, I was astounded by the thousands in attendance and at the intensity of the service. Powerful. We would then make our way to the Saskatoon Legion for a couple of hours of more festivities, food and drink. Afterwards Jimmy would go on his own to attend
So if you really ‘appreciate’ your ‘day off with pay’, every November 11th, and would like thank those that paid for it... go to your local service to show your thanks, and then maybe find your way down to a legion or local watering hole where you are sure to find someone that you must, at least, owe a drink to. Cheers Jimmy, we miss ya buddy !
Canada with the questionable opposition to the Electoral Boundary Commission. The United States is so deeply committed to the original articles of their Constitution that modification of the structures of government is almost unthinkable. Canada on the other hand has shown some ability to address the fundamentals of government including our Constitution, so there is some hope that we can move away from the directions we have taken. The first and most important is that the Prime Minister and his or her office must be responsive to parliament. Second, the elected members must be free to express their opinions. And third, the decisions of government must be readily transparent to the media, the opposition members and to individual tax payers.

Buying a drink seemed to be a fitting way of expressing a thank you to these amazing individuals, who had gone to hell and back, (if they were lucky enough to have made it back) so that the rest of us now, and in the future, can enjoy a life better than any generations before have ever known.
Food for Thought ell, Obama stared the opposition down and the US has avoided a default for a few months. It would appear therefore that the Republicans have shouted “uncle” and the next steps will be easier to negotiate. Unfortunately the main body of the Republican Party is not entirely in control of its future because of the strength of the “Tea Partiers” who take the basic right wing philosophy and bend it into a movement akin to a religious catechism. I trust that Canadian politicians will heed the damage that can result from absolute adherence to the “small government” and “low tax” approach to governance. Another lesson to be taken away from the American fiasco is the unfairness that can result where gerrymandering allows a block of unassailable seats to influence policy beyond the will of the majority. We risked as much in

COUNCIL REPORTS TOWN OF ASQUITH
Asquith Town Council held its October meeting on October 8, 2013. Present were Mayor Maddin, Councillors Sawicki, Gamble, Dumont, Beal, Lysyshyn and Erhart, as well as Foreman Kraft and C.A.O. Cross. Council moved to accept the September Treasurer’s Statement of receipts and expenditures for the month of September 2013, as well as the bank reconciliations for the month of August, 2013. A motion was made to accept accounts paid in the amount of $62,611.49 and accounts payable of $55,023.13. Foreman Kraft reported that the water lines in town have been flushed and that the lagoon’s tertiary cell will be pumped in the month of October. The Water Security Agency has completed their inspection of the water plant and the lagoon and the Town is compliant. Fire Prevention Week was recognized by the Asquith Volunteer Fire Department with an open house at the Fire Hall on October 8, 2013. The Asquith Landfill will no longer be accepting electronics for recycling as the cost has become too prohibitive. Clients are directed to take their electronics directly to Sarcan. An announcement will be made in Biggar on November 12, 2013 regarding the Infrastructure Grant that was accessed for the Asquith Seniors Center. The Grant provided for installation of central air and upgrades to the kitchen countertops and backsplash. There have been reports of individuals driving erratically and dangerously in town. Residents are strongly encouraged to write down license plates and report these incidents to the RCMP. A building permit was issued to Don Sawyer for building a four plex. Marvin Loewen, of Associated Engineering, attended the Council meeting to discuss the pre-design for a new sewage lift station. The Town’s current lift station was built in the late 1960’s and Council is hoping to access a new Infrastructure Grant in 2014 for the building of a new lift station. The list of lands in arrears was presented to
Council and subsequently advertised in the Biggar Independent. Sixty days after the advertising of the List of Lands in Arrears, if the said taxes have not been paid a tax lien will be put on that property. Council also approved moving forward on four other properties in Town by giving the Six Month Notice to these individuals that tax enforcement is continuing, and is now at the next step after having the lien put on the property. The contract position of Landfill Supervisor is once again up for tender. Quotes for this contract position must be turned into the Asquith Town Office by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, November 8, 2013. For more information regarding this position, please contact the Asquith Town office. A Community Planning Meeting was held at the Asquith Seniors Center on October 23, 2013 and approximately fifty people attended. It was a good meeting, with a lot of good ideas and thoughts being shared. Individuals who were unable to attend are still asked to please fill out their community survey and turn it into the Town office. If you have misplaced your survey, you can pick up another one at the Town office. This office wishes everyone a Happy and Safe Halloween!
RM OF VANSCOY Council approved 5 applications for building and development permits at their October 8th meeting. One application to subdivide was approved as well. Please remember that a Development permit and a Building permit are required for any building over 100 square feet. The cost is $5.75 per thousand of value for the first $100,000.00 then $4.50 per thousand of value over $100,000.00. Application forms are available on our website www.rmvanscoy.ca. Completed applications must be in the R.M. office by Monday the week prior to the Council meeting. The November regular meeting of Council has been changed to November 19, 2013.
VILLAGE OF VANSCOY Actual water meter readings were performed at the end of September and the final actual reading will be done at the end of December. If you find that your estimated reading for the months between the actual billings are too high or too low; contact the Village Office to have your estimate adjusted. Actual readings are required from anyone who does not have the meter reading puck installed, or if an actual reading was not done recently. Residents are reminded that several licenses are due to be renewed in January 2014; including dog licenses and business licenses. Dog licenses renewed in January will be $15 per dog, the fee increases in February to $30. Business licenses renewed in January will be $50 – this includes any home based businesses operating in the Village; the fee increases to $75 in February. Penalties will be applied for any licenses not renewed. Back lane pickup is now done for the year and will commence in the spring of 2014. There is still a 2% discount available for property taxes paid in November, there is no discount allowed for December; however, taxes are due December 21. Any tax remaining unpaid at December 31 will be assessed a 10% penalty.

VANSCOY SCHOOL
PIKE LAKE SCHOOL
We hope you all had a great Halloween because we sure did! We had a Halloween parade in the afternoon that was filled with great costumes. It has been a great first two months at Vanscoy School. As volleyball season comes to a close basketball season begins. Great job to both the girls and boys teams for a great performance. Thanks to all who donated to the UNICEF foundation and contributed to the school fundraisers. This year’s book fair was very successful so thanks to those who supported it. Congratulations to all who have moved on in our pass, punt and kick competition. Students will be receiving their first report card of the year in November. We also will be doing many activities in class in honor of Remembrance Day. On November 8th at 10:30 Vanscoy School will be holding a Remembrance Day service in the gym. Please come out and attend. We wish you a wonderful November! By Sara Langston and Jonah Krahn
The students and staff at Pike Lake School are enthusiastically and eagerly taking part in new and exciting learning opportunities that have been offered in the 2013 -2014 School Year. Our school goal for the year is focused around reading fluency and comprehension. We look forward to making learning more engaging to students as we bring learning relevancy to life for our young learners. We hope that students see the value in what they learn and learn to answer the question, “what does this learning mean to me?”
DELISLE COMPOSITE SCHOOL Another month has flown by this school year, but the oncoming cold weather isn’t dampening the spirit of the students and staff of Delisle Composite! There are many exciting things that went on in our school! We have gotten our new fabulous teacher interns for this year and we would like to formally welcome you to our school! Best of luck! First off, we had our annual Terry Fox walk once again this year. We were excited about how many of the kids donated and participated in the walk. Our school was able to raise over three hundred dollars, and the SRC decided they would be adding on to that as well. Our school will be donated five hundred dollars to the Terry Fox foundation this year. The senior girls’ soccer team moved on to Provincials this month and showed our team spirit and dedication to sports by placing sixth out of the nineteen teams that had attended. Their first game ended with a score of six to zero, but the loss didn’t stop the girls from fighting during their second game! During their third game they fought tooth and nail but lost five to four. The football team was fighting to be Provincial Champions but fell short. Their fight against Melfort didn’t look in our favor and we lost 29 to 31. Better luck next year! For Cross Country Provincials our school came second in the 2A Classification group. Way to go guys! The senior girls Volleyball team will be competing in Outlook this weekend and we hope they make us all proud by doing their best. As for our junior boys and girls Volleyball teams they had a great season and always manage to make us proud with their dedication! We hope to see you all striving to join the senior teams once you’re able and continuing your volleyball career! November is the month of Remembrance, and this year we are having our Remembrance Day tea on the 7th and our Remembrance Day service, as well as formal day, on the 8th. We hope all students will dress appropriately on formal day to honor those who fought in the wars. Lastly, we would like to inform all of you about our upcoming Spirit Days, as we have one going at least once a week. On Halloween everyone can dress up in their costumes, but please be sure they are school appropriate! On the thirteenth of November we have Dress Up/Dress Down Day, twenty second is Denim/Plaid/Canadian Tuxedo day, and on the twenty ninth is Twin day! The SRC hopes to see you all dressing up to show your school spirit!

We are once again collecting your old phonebooks and this year we can help you win a fantastic prize! SaskTel has introduced a GREAT new incentive to those who recycle their phonebooks and register with our school! SaskTel is giving away two 32 GB iPod Touches (valued at $299.00) as part of their incentive to encourage phonebook recycling. This contest runs for a short time from October 7th to November 15th 2013 so you have to act fast! For each phonebook you recycle, you will receive one entry for the iPod draw. There are 3 ways you can recycle your phonebooks to receive your contest entries and be included in our school count: 1. Drop off your phonebooks in a recycling bin and record the number you dropped off. Call the school and let us know that number. 2. Drop off your phonebooks here at the school and we will record your number of phonebooks recycled. 3. Drop off your phonebooks at Pipp’s Place and let us know how many you have recycled. Ask your neighbours, grandparents, family, friends and coworkers to start saving their books for you! If your place of business recycles their books, check and see if they will donate those numbers on behalf of our school! SaskTel will still refund our school 10 cents for each phonebook that is recycled on our school’s behalf, so every book helps us earn money! This year’s Education Week, “Supporting and Celebrating Success” will certainly be filled with different ways of learning that will guide us along to future successes! A highlight of Education week, will be an important parent information night on Thursday, October 24th @ 6:30 p.m. The Prairie Spirit School Division Assessment Team will be here to discuss the new progress report and answer some of your burning questions about this new document. All of the schools in Prairie Spirit School Division will be transitioning from current report cards to a Curriculum-Referenced Progress Report for all grade 1 to 5 elementary school students. We appreciate each the school division’s team member’s time and knowledge in providing us with some learning that will lead us towards our schools future successes in helping our students attain their life’s achievements.

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL We are almost at the end of October and things are running smoothly. The 4-year olds have settled in a bit more and they have had lots of fun making instruments and turkeys, and learning about the number 2 and their phone numbers. They have also made pumpkins, and will be making ghosts, for Halloween crafts. This week we have been invited to join the Kindergarten Class at Pike Lake School for some reading during Education Week and we are going to try making a food-related Halloween snack. This is a first for me at preschool so we will see what happens! Our Halloween party will be on the 29th and I can’t wait to see the costumes this year. The 3-year olds have enjoyed learning about the number 2. They also had fun mixing red and yellow paint together to make orange, then using that paint to make carrot and orange prints. They will also be making ghosts this week and having their Halloween party on the 31st. With only 3 of them, it should be a quiet, but fun, party. November will find both groups learning about the number 3 and the colour black. The 4-year olds will also start a unit on health and the 3-year olds will explore different ways to build. Until next month, have a safe and happy Halloween! November Dates 3-year old days: 7, 14, 21, 28 4-year old days: 1, 5, 8, 12, 15, 19, 22, 26, 29 Colour: black Number: 3

Hot Wheels Night Another Big Hit

Main Street, Asquith
is
BACK ! November 3rd & 17th
O
n October 11 approximately 100 people checked out the Dusty Wheels Car Club’s real-life classic cars outside of the Vanscoy hall as they made thier way in to the 9th annual Hot Wheels Night. Inside, the ‘New Car Lot’ (operated by the United Church Youth Group) sold out in record time as children selected cars to add to their collections. The
‘Used Car Lot’ also had many gently used cars to choose from, and amidst the frenzy of shopping, children sat down to take thier new cars for a 'test drive'. Guests played many games and won exciting prizes. They also has an opportunity to take a ‘driver's test’, which included questions about driving safely. Completion of the test entitled each child to obtain a Hot
Wheels driver's license and a registration for one of their cars. Members of the Dusty Wheels Car Club, long-time, enthusiastic supporters of the event were the license issuer. They also donated two prizes for the raffle. Winners of the tracks were Ethan Lauen & Ella Rose. This year there was also another raffle for a Oscar Meyer Weiner Car that was donated by Hot Wheels collector, Brent Adams and won by Alan Jackson. This family event, which attracts collectors of all ages, is hosted by the Delisle-Vanscoy United Church. Donations from the community, of Hot Wheels cars and prizes, as well as lunch, help in making this the event of the year for many families!

Vanscoy & District Early Learning Centre approved for two Programs Submitted by Tobi Torresan
T
he Vanscoy and District Early Learning Center has been approved for two exciting programs going on this winter. The Ministry of Education has chosen Vanscoy to receive the” Mentorship Initiative”. The first program, Early Years Mentorship Initiative, is one of the ministry’s initiatives to support the implementation of Play and Exploration: Early Learning Program Guide. The Ministry of Education has prioritized quality improvement within the early learning and child care
sector. A mentor will support and encourage staff to implement principles of early learning. The Early Learning Program brochure explains, “When children explore something that interests them, they learn more quickly and remember what they have learned more easily. When children are excited about a topic , they can focus and are ready to learn key ideas in literacy, science and math.” The second program is “Healthy Start”. This program is funded through Public Health and community initiatives in partnership with the University of
Saskatchewan. Healthy Start is a bilingual early years initiative designed to increase the physical activity and healthy eating opportunities of 3-5 year olds in early learning settings. Program representatives will visit the center to give personalized training and consultation. The center will also be hosting the ‘Parent and Tots’ playgroup 2-3 times per month for parents with young children that would like to meet others. Contact the center for more information on these programs.

We will remember all the people in WWI the trenches the gasses the guns the deaths We will Remember all the people in the 30's the mess the destruction the starving the food shortage the deaths We will remember all the people in WWII the bombing the tanks the guns the deaths We will remember all the people in the Holocaust the Jews the ghettos the concentration camps Adolf Hitler the deaths We will remember the millions of sacrifices
You went off to war You kept your head held high And knew one day you would be back No fear, no regret, just making peace 620,000 volunteered out of 8 million Canadians 60,000 died, but they died for us hopefully leaving the world with peace they were not scared, nor worried, our soldiers. You went off to war You kept your head held high And knew one day you would be back No fear, no regret, just making peace 2,472,000 volunteered out of 12 million Canadians 46,000 died, but they died for us hopefully leaving the world with peace they were not scared, nor worried, our soldiers.

We will remember them
Trench Life by Morgan B. He huddles up in a hole in the wall It’s cold, and he swears he’s lost feeling in his toes Trying to stay war is a losing battle, Even amidst the war above But still, he fights Gun shots go off, and it rattles his bones Cries of his comrades freezes his blood His friends have died He’s the last one left of his squad But still, he fights He receives his orders from his Commander “To hold the line, with no retreat” He looks at his brothers-in-arms and shakes their hands They all know there will be no surviving But still, they fight They’re given the order, To go over the trenches Guns fire, bullets soar Men fall to the ground around him But still, he fights He fires his rifle back at the enemy And then, when his clip is empty The enemy fires Right before the bullet ends him, He thinks of his family But still, he fought He and many before him, fought for our freedom.

His walk was slow and steady as if he wasn’t headed anywhere Head was held high telling everyone he was proud about being a soldier But the tears running down his face said something else The letter sticking out of his pocket will be the last he gets from her in a long time He then stepped on the bus and waved He waved as if he would never see them again, like he wasn’t coming back And, in all honesty, he wasn’t coming back Then the bus started up and started to roll away And the last thing he did was blow a kiss to his daughter Saying goodbye.

... Delisle Grade Nine Students “Remember When” by Jordan C
“Remembrance Day Poem” by Josh When we hear the word Remembrance, We think of the guns used by countries around the world We think of the fatherless and motherless children. We also think of the poppies billowing in the wind in Flander’s fields. We think of all the fallen soldiers that perished in all wars. What we should really remember is, What our brave soldiers and other soldiers have fought for. They fought for freedom, peace and love. They fought for security, protection, and valor. No I’m sure you know this already but, I think we underestimate the true meaning of these words. The men and women who fought, truly know the meaning, Because this is what they fought for.
War and Peace (Diamante Poem) by Ally War Scared, terror Fighting, killing, shooting Damage, abuse, love, freedom Caring, loving, harmonizing Calm, quiet Peace
Remember when the soldiers Gave their Wife’s a kiss on the cheek. Soldiers fought protecting the ones they love when they Remember Gunshots ringing in tired minds Walked out the door Fighting for freedom every second of everyday When they fought for Families wait for the news they might receive Our country and when some The battle goes on many did not come back. Or People pray for peace and kindness Remember when the soldiers said 11/11/18 That they would Come back for their wife’s and family’s. Most did not come back And most did. Remember when We thanked them for all their hard work. “Remember” acrostic by Kayden But most of all we thank them for Bring peace back in our country. Recognize the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us Remember when. Everyone hurt or injured Might come home eventually Explosive bombs going everywhere Moms, dads, uncles, family, don’t know if they will return Burned, hurt, injured, painful Everywhere you look someone is hurt Rejoice that war is almost over. “Remembrance Day” by Sydney
“Thank you” by Teig As I’m walking down the road soaking up raindrops away from home away from my family Keep your head held high be strong, be brave with your mind cleared No worries in the world No regrets We remember All the courageous soldiers who sacrificed their own lives not because they had to because they wanted to to change the world for us today We remember, Thank you.
“We Shall Remember” by Brook They jumped out of airplanes They sailed across the seas They ran across the land They flew across the sky They got shot A lot were killed But they still never gave up They marched for our freedom Peace and freedom they brought us We shall remember those have fallen But one thing we must not forget Is that they volunteered to march to their death We will remember.

ulatory barriers, reinforce intellectual property rights and ensure more transparent rules for market access. The benefits will be extensive, including for those who produce primary goods (like minerals and agricultural products) and those who turn them into value-added processed and manufactured products.
Out of more than 9,000 EU tariff lines, approximately 98 percent will be duty-free for Canadian goods when CETA comes into force. Some EU tariffs are so high they impose a real burden on Canadian exporters and prevent or limit considerably their ability to compete in the EU market. For example, the EU levies a tariff equivalent to $114 per tonne on Canadian oats which, over the last five years, has been estimated to add a substantial 51.7 percent to the price of this grain. When CETA comes into force, tariffs on oats and almost all other Canadian primary goods will be eliminated. Equally important to Saskatchewan’s economy is the fact that tariffs on manufactured products will also be eliminated. I trust this information has been useful.

MLA REPORT
October 17, 2013 Randy Weekes, MLA Giving Thanks for a Good Crop Many used the recent Thanksgiving holiday as a time to gather and reflect on the many things for which we are thankful. In this province, there is plenty and a bountiful harvest is one such example. Despite a late spring and lots of moisture, the majority of Saskatchewan farmers are now finished in the field and, in most cases, are reporting a great growing season. Statistics Canada has estimated this year’s crop is one of the biggest ever while producers suggest the 2013 crop exceeded expectations with average to above-average yields. Accounting for over one-third of the province’s total exports, agriculture continues to be an integral part of our economy that works not only to feed us, but others around the world. Full-Time Jobs Hit New Heights In September Saskatchewan’s economy is diversifying, and is a national leader in growth, attracting newcomers and investment. Statistics Canada recently released further data supporting that. Over the past year, more than 80 per cent of the new jobs created in Saskatchewan were full-time positions and, in total, there were a record 555,500 people working in September. At 4.3 per cent, Saskatchewan also managed to maintain the lowest unemployment rate in Canada for the ninth consecutive month. With more jobs, more people and more economic activity, working people in Saskatchewan now have more stability, security and a better quality of life than ever before.
Investing In Trades & Technology Growth - and the new revenue it generates - gives our government the ability to meet the challenges that come with it. One such area is trades and technology. As our economy grows, so too does the need for skilled workers. To that end, our government recently announced $10 million in support of the new Trades and Technology Centre in Yorkton. This institution will not only increase the number of graduates in many highly-skilled areas that are in demand but will also make it possible for Yorkton-area students to learn closer to home. Our government is also matching a $150,000 scholarship donation by the Yorkton Tribal Council to help provide local First Nations youth with scholarship dollars over the next five years. One of our priorities is to help find new opportunities and to remove barriers to our Aboriginal young people so they can receive post-secondary training and education. Fall Sitting Starting Soon After catching up with constituents and attending many exciting events around the province, your Saskatchewan Party MLAs are about to return to the provincial legislature for the Fall Sitting of the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly. Overall, in terms of priorities, we’re hearing that you’re pleased with the direction the province is taking but also that there is more work to be done as it relates to highways and seniors care. Through consultation, we have also heard that we need to maintain economic strength and the growth of our province in order to invest in the services that you need and deserve. Keeping with Saskatchewan’s Plan for Growth, your input has helped us to chart our government’s course for the upcoming legislative session and beyond. Together, we can use the benefits of growth to improve the quality of life for everyone in our province.
