“Take Inventory of your Community Assets”
Statistics Canada recently released numbers showing that there are now more people 65 years and older in Canada than there are children 15 years and under. We have all known that our population was facing this demographic shift the baby boomers generation aged. There is reason for concern about the future burden on the healthcare system, but there are also positives. For example as they retire from the work force, they open up those jobs for the younger generations. Plus we benefit as they spend your inheritance, thus creating demand for more services, and more jobs. Last year I joined the Delisle School Community Council (SCC) and attended an orientation session. The mandate of every school’s SCC is to create and support relationships between the school and the local community, and at the orientation session, we were encouraged to ‘take inventory of our community assets’. So what are these community assets ? Well, there are many local businesses that can, and do, provide our schools with professional support as well as direct employment opportunities for children. There are larger corporations that can, and do, provide substantial financial support to school activities. These are obvious assets, not hard to identify.
But there is another hidden asset in our community... we now have one senior for every one child in Canada. In a world where our children are churned through ever larger class sizes, daycare after school and way to much screen time at home, a connection with family and community is getting left in the dust. Like the previous assets I mention earlier, senior citizens can also provide professional support, because they all had some sort of job or profession. They can also provide financial support, by attending fundraisers, making donations, hiring students, etc. But unlike the other community assets, seniors involvement offers our children community inclusion, moral guidance, and an extended family connection. No where else can you find this asset value, and at no other time do we seems to really need this in society. Every one of our schools, clubs, organizations and civic councils should take a second look at this valuable community asset and find ways to take advantage of it. They are waiting, and hoping, that you will just ask ! Happy Thanksgiving, Ken Sowter - Editor

Leap Manifesto
he “Great Debate” on the economy was last evening. Many in the media commented that it was a draw and no one leapt out ahead of the pack. I disagree. There were defining positions clarified with which each leader expects to attract the most swing voters. Stephen Harper held to his position that his approach would eventually prove the best choice when the world economy settles down; a safe stance for many I am sure. Mulcair took a similar path and assured everyone that he had the capacity to govern and balance the budget with most promises stretching well into the future; also a fairly safe position for a leader who has left his party behind in a swing to the right. Then the novice Trudeau took another track entirely by
C.M. (Red) Williams
promoting immediate growth stimulus using borrowings in a low interest rate economy. At this point in the campaign it is a choice between the “hold the direction” PC’s and the very similar NDP, or taking a chance on a progressive solution to the stalled economy with the Liberals. But the elephant in the room never came up in the debate, and that was the release of the Leap Manifesto issued just days before. This firebrand paper was signed by every high profile “lefty” that could be dredged up. They represent the traditional NDP stance and care clearly giving Mulcair a wakeup call to return to the fold. Of course he will ignore
them, but at the price of some of the most devoted NDP support. The Leap Manifesto shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand as being the ravings of a bunch of “kooks.” In fact they underline many of the critical issues that are on the “front burner.” Their error is that they offer few directions to manage such issues as climate change, CO2 release and so forth. In fact if one were to follow their intemperate advice our economy would collapse. Imagine Saskatchewan as a huge number of small organic farms, and don’t snicker because that is the type of direction these extremists are promoting. Opinions expressed here are those of the author.

Flu Vaccination: Protect Yourself and the Ones You Love from Flu
ave you gotten your flu vaccine this season? If not, now’s the time. An annual flu vaccination is the best way to prevent the flu as well as flu-related complications that could lead to severe illness, hospitalization and even death. Health experts across the country recommend that everyone 6 months and older get a flu vaccine. Flu vaccination can reduce flu illnesses, doctors' visits, missed work and school due to flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations and deaths. Influenza is among the most common respiratory illnesses in the United States, infecting millions of people every flu season. Every year, flu spreads across the country, from person to person, among families and communities. The severity of flu illness can vary from mild to severe. CDC estimates that from the 1976-1977 season to the 2006-2007 flu season, flu-associated deaths in the United States ranged from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people. And each season it’s estimated that more than 200,000 people are hospitalized because of flu-related complications. Over the years, the number of people recommended for flu vaccination has grown as experts have learned more about who is at high risk from flu complications or who bears the greatest burden of illness and is likely to spread flu in the community. Scientists and public health experts have come to recognize that while the flu is particularly dangerous for certain people, it can cause severe illness and even death for anyone, regardless of whether or not they are “high risk.” Even healthy children and young adults can get very sick from the flu. “One of the greatest challenges we face from the flu is the uncertainty of the disease,” explains Dr. Anne Schuchat, Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Flu viruses are constantly changing. Each flu season, different flu viruses can spread, and they can affect people differently based on their body’s ability to fight infection.” Since
flu viruses are constantly changing and immunity declines over time, annual vaccination is needed for optimal protection. People with certain long-term health conditions are at high risk of serious flu complications. During the 2013-2014 flu season, 89 percent of reported adult hospitalizations from flu had at least one underlying medical condition that increased their risk for flu complications; as did 60 percent of the reported flu hospitalizations in children. Asthma, diabetes and chronic heart disease are examples of long-term health conditions. While the flu vaccine is the best way to prevent flu, how well the vaccine works can vary. Sometimes, people who are vaccinated still get flu. For that reason, CDC recommends that if you are at high risk of serious flu complications and get flu symptoms, you should get in touch with your doctor or another health care professional. If you do have the flu, your doctor may write you a prescription for a flu antiviral drug. Treatment with flu antiviral drugs can mean the difference between having a milder illness versus a very serious illness that could result in a hospital stay. For a list of people at high risk, see http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/disease/hig h_risk.htm.  There are a small group of people who should not get a flu vaccine; for instance, people who have had a severe reaction to a flu vaccine or any of its components in the past. For more information about who should and who should not get vaccinated, visit http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/whoshouldvax.htm. Getting a flu vaccine is more convenient than ever before. Vaccines are available in a variety of locations, for example, from your doctor or local health department, and at many pharmacies. Many employers, schools, and retail stores also offer flu vaccines. Additionally, there are several vaccine options available this season. Use the vaccine finder at http://vaccine.healthmap.org/ to find a flu vaccination clinic near you. Call ahead to confirm availability for any specific vaccine options.

Fire Prevention Week October 4th -10th Smoke Alarm Installation and Maintenance Most fatal fires occur at night when people are asleep. Often, victims never wake up. A working smoke alarm will detect smoke and sound an alarm to alert you, giving you precious time to escape. Every home in Ontario must have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas Homeowners It is the responsibility of homeowners to install and maintain smoke alarms on every storey of their home and outside sleeping areas. Landlords It is the responsibility of landlords to ensure their rental properties comply with the law. Tenants If you are a tenant of a rental property and do not have the required number of smoke alarms, contact your landlord immediately. It is against the law for tenants to remove the batteries or tamper with the alarm in any way. Choose the right alarm
There are smoke alarms available with different features and applications, so choosing the right alarm can be confusing. Some of the features to consider include: Power Source: Smoke alarms can be electrically powered, battery powered, or a combination of both. If you are installing an electrically powered alarm it is recommended that it have a battery back-up in case of power failures. Technology: most smoke alarms employ either ionization or photo-electric technology. Ionization alarms may respond slightly faster to flaming-type fires, while photo-electric alarms may be quicker at detecting slow, smouldering fires. Pause feature: Smoke alarms with a pause button are highly recommended as it permits the alarm to be temporarily silenced without disconnecting the power source. Install in the proper locations Smoke alarms must be installed on each storey of the home as well as outside sleeping areas. Because smoke rises, smoke alarms should be installed on
the ceiling. If this is not possible, install the alarm high up on a wall. Always follow the manufacturers instructions when installing smoke alarms. Avoid putting smoke alarms too close to bathrooms, windows, ceiling fans and heating and cooking appliances. Test smoke alarms monthly Test your smoke alarms every month by using the test button on the alarm. When the test button is pressed, the alarm should sound. If it fails to sound, make sure that the battery is installed correctly or install a new battery. If the alarm still fails to sound, replace the smoke alarm with a new one. Change the batteries every year Install a new battery at least once a year, or as recommended by the manufacturer. Install a new battery if the low-battery warning sounds or if the alarm fails to sound when tested. Vacuum alarms annually Dust can clog your smoke alarms. Battery-powered smoke alarms should be
cleaned by opening the cover of the alarm and gently vacuuming the inside with a soft bristle brush. For electrically-connected smoke alarms, first shut off the power to the unit, and then gently vacuum the outside vents of the alarm only. Turn the power back on and test the alarm. Replace older smoke alarms All smoke alarms wear out. If your alarms are more than 10 years old, replace them with new ones. Handle nuisance alarms Steam from the shower or cooking in the oven, stove or toaster can cause smoke alarms to activate. If these types of nuisance alarms occur, do not remove the battery. There are several options you can try to reduce nuisance alarms.
Relocate the alarm. Sometimes moving the alarm just a few inches can make the difference. Install a smoke alarm with a pause button that will allow you to temporarily silence the alarm. Replace alarms located near kitchens with photo-electric types. Plan your escape Make sure that everyone knows the sound of the smoke alarm and what to do if it activates. Create an escape plan with the entire household and practice it. Make sure your plan identifies two ways out of each room, if possible, and a meeting place outside. Once outside, stay outside. Never re-enter a burning building. Call the fire department from a neighbours home or cell phone.

‘Learn to Knit Slippers’
he preschool year is off to a good start! We have 7 students right now, 3 3-year olds who come on Tuesdays and 4 4-year olds who come on Tuesdays and Fridays. The students are slowly starting to learn the preschool routines and they have had a lot of fun playing inside and out. Their bodies were traced on the first day, the students coloured them, and they are hanging on our walls. We also learned about the number 1, with the 3-year olds making a Number 1 book, and the 4-year olds drawing a 1 then gluing small ones onto it. My hope is for the 3-year olds to be able to count and possibly recognize their numbers up to 10, and for the 4-year olds to recognize and possibly print their numbers up to 10. The 4-year olds also spent a day talking about their families and making family trees, and another day learning how to print their names. They will get a lot of practice with this because from now on, they will print their names on their crafts! This week and next week will find us exploring fall and all the changes a new season brings, and finding blue all around us for our colour day. In October, we will celebrate Thanksgiving and Halloween with parties, including crafts, songs, games, and snacks. We will also learn about the number 2, the colour orange, and the 4-year olds will begin learning about 8 different shapes.

hope the month of September has gone well for all! We have settled back in at the school and even with the continuous changes just keep rolling along. I hope that you have had a chance to come in and see all of the updates to the school including the paint in the hallways, front foyer, library and the gym. They have started the next phase which includes updating windows and painting classrooms. Currently, the classrooms that are part of the East exterior side of the building are getting work done and should be completed during the month of October. The classes have been moved to other parts of the school and I am so thankful that our students and staff are able to adapt to the different areas and continue to make learning work with the construction and building improvements. Life around the school is busy, which should not be a surprise! Students are learning, extra-curricular in all directions and we wonder how to communicate it all to you? As a school, we have committed to using Power School Alerts to try and send more information to you in a timely fashion. These alerts are usually brief and used to get important information to you quickly. Staff will email and use phone calls to pass on information regarding teaching, subjects and students. PSSD has created a new webpage for the school that the school will be working to update and maintain with dates and important information. During the course of this school year, we will also be reviewing our practices/policies at the school level and will put these on the webpage when completed. This will be a place to keep and organize this information, almost make a handbook section for students and parents. The key is that we are just beginning and it will take time for this webpage to be what are hoping it will, which is why we have the goal of upgrading and adding to it all school year. Please take a look at the new page at: http://blogs.spiritsd.ca/delislecomposite// One of the themes I will touch on during this school year in our newsletters and discussions is what is your belief? By belief I mean any idea that we are reluctant to change or re-examine that could have been acquired by an experience, received wisdom or folklore or in other ways. A belief may be true or false, but either way, we resist consideration of contrary proofs because we "know" we are right. There are many different beliefs when it comes to this school and all that happens here. Some of those beliefs are positive and some are going to be negative and my goal is to challenge these beliefs. What is your belief about the school and the education that it provides? The other question that needs to be answered is what is that belief based on? I invite you to send me a note, email or have a discussion with me regarding your thoughts on these questions. As we continue to strive for improvements in all areas, we need to hear your feedback and have conversations that will help to guide us. Kirk Schlosser - Principal

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL
W
ell, we have all had a chance to experience the return of school and establish new routines for a few weeks! The fall weather has been great to enjoy as everything in nature is gearing down for the upcoming winter. However, the staff here have geared up to activate another splendid academic year for the students! Mrs. Sandra Ross, our wonderful caretaker, worked her magic over the summer to ensure the school year started off on the right foot! The school year began with some sparkling floors and some gleaming desks! We are so fortunate to have someone as dedicated as Mrs. Ross to truly take care of our school for us! Thank you once again, Mrs. Ross, for all your hard work! The Pike Lake School Community Council (SCC) helped kick off this year with their annual Welcome Back BBQ co-sponsored by the Pike Lake Community and School Association. It was a great event with a tremendous turn out! Read more about this event in this newspaper edition. On Wednesday, September 30, 2015 our school was an important part of the millions of students participated in the nationwide Terry Fox Run. The students of Pike Lake School walked to the boat launch within the Pike Lake Provincial Park and back. There were some twists on the tried and true incentives this year to help reach our goal of $2000.00. The breakdown of achievement was: $500.00 – ice cream party $800.00 – one hour free play $1000.00 – staff get a free makeover – from a blindfolded student $1500.00 – pie in the face for staff members $2000.00 – Staff will jump in the lake Our grateful thanks to all those who joined us on our walk and for those who donated to this important cause! Recently, SaskTel Pioneers Bridge City representative, Dwayne Iwasiuk provided our school with a Canadian map stencil so that our students could paint it onto the concrete pad of our playground. It was an exciting time as the students grabbed a paint brush and took turns creating a large scale map of our country. Having this painted visual is valuable to teaching components of the curriculum and ties well into the promotion of our outdoor classroom. Besides, it was fun to do! We thank SaskTel Pioneers Bridge City for donating the stencil and the paint for this project and also to Dwayne for his time in pursuing and helping out with making this Canada map a reality. Our Pumpkin Festival field trip took us to Tierra Del Sol farms on Valley Road. The students quite happily participated in a variety of activities such as pumpkin bowling, pumpkin golf, pumpkin baseball, pumpkin toss and a pumpkin/bale maze. All the students even got to bring a pumpkin back to the school to carve later this month! Our thanks to our pumpkin volunteers Lisha Bellieveau, Crystal Sullivan, and Shauna Lingnau who helped to make this day enjoyable for the students. Also to Barb at Tierra Del Sol for providing our students with a very fun day celebrating pumpkins! What an awesome event that the kids (and adults!) totally enjoyed! The Grade 3/4 students recently took part in the Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies and Exhibition (SAASE) Farm and Acreage Safety Day put on by the Vanscoy & District Agricultural Society. There the students progressed through a number of safety stations that helped to promote an awareness of safe work and play living in a rural setting. The students returned with plenty of information and they shared some of this valuable knowledge: - that a person can sink into grain in 7 seconds - that some things we eat look similar to dangerous chemicals and it should not be ingested if you don’t know what it is eg. blue koolaid looks like antifreeze; water and rubbing alcohol look alike - we learned how to stop drop and roll to put out a fake fire on our clothing. The trick was to learn how to roll on velcro mats so that it would put out (collect) the pretend flames on our bodies. For many years, our school has participated in the SaskTel phonebook recycling program. Sadly, this program is no longer in operation so we will not be collecting phonebooks anymore to recycle. However, please remember to place your old phonebooks into the recycling bins rather than the garbage bins. It certainly helps our environment and saves trees!

Second Farm Safety Day in Vanscoy
S
ept. 22 was the second Farm Safety Day put on by the Vanscoy & District Ag Society in conjunction with Progressive Agriculture. Vanscoy mayor, Robin Odnokon, welcomed all the Grade 4 & 5 students from Delisle, Pike Lake and Vanscoy schools, their teachers and volunteers to the Safety Day as the official start of the activities. Asquith students were invited but unable to attend.
We had presenters who covered chemical safety, mechanical safety, fire safety (Stop, Drop & Roll demo), train safety, PTO safety, safe hand washing, grain bin safety, electrical safety, tractor safety and a vision disability demo. Progressive Agriculture has been sponsoring Safety Days for 20 years so we had birthday cake and balloons in the afternoon. Chief of Police, Murray McCracken, stopped in at
the end of the day to speak to the children about safety as well. Everyone received a Farm Safety T-shirt from Progressive Agriculture in the morning and a bag of info to take home. A big THANK YOU to all the station presenters, all the volunteers and our sponsors including Earthworks Equipment, Saputo, Cervus Equipment, Agrium & Orchard Transport.

id you know that a residential break-in happens every 90 seconds in Canada and more than 80% of break-ins occur during daylight hours? Many of our small rural communities have become the victim of numerous home and farm burglaries, theft of property and related suspicious activities in recent years. Burglary is always a crime of opportunity, and like many risks you can reduce your odds of being affected by taking some preventative steps. By making your property more secure, you can save yourself the stress, inconvenience and money.

1) LOCK your doors (and windows) in your home and vehicle - many stolen items are often left in an unsecure area. You may have lived on your acreage for 40 years without incident, but it is not wise to leave your home without locking the doors! Make sure you lock your vehicles with no keys left inside and that your trailer cannot simply be pulled away. Note some property insurance policies require evidence of forced entry in order for coverage to be valid.

s we near the end of summer, it's time to look ahead and plan out home maintenance projects that have to be done before the cold weather strikes. Real estate agents can help homebuyers understand which home fixes take priority if their new home isn't quite new. Likewise, agents can help sellers prioritize their last warm weather fixes to increase a home's curb appeal. While the weather is warm and before the peak months of September and October, encourage clients to walk around the exterior of their home and make a list of problematic areas. Some can be fixed by the current owners and others will require assistance from an expert. To help locate any issues and take care of them before winter arrives,REALTORS® can help their clients by hiring a reliable, thorough home inspector to check around the exterior of the home. An inspector will be able to get to areas where a buyer may not want to venture, including the roof and under the home. End-of-summer projects agents can suggest to their home sellers include:

insurance premiums. A 24-hour monitored alarm system provides peace of mind and security for your entire family against the possibility of home intrusion, whether you’re home or not. Alarm systems can also monitor smoke, fire, temperature change, carbon monoxide and water escape. Proper lighting combined with motion lighting is also a valuable and relatively low cost way of increasing your security. 3) Be Alert! Watch for suspicious activity, then contact your local authorities when necessary. Thieves will often approach a home cautiously at first, knock on the door and if answered they will have an excuse such as asking for directions or spare fuel. Watch your neighbourhood for suspicious vehicles and maintain communication with neighbours on a regular basis. If you’re social media savvy, join your local neighbourhood watch group on Facebook (such as “Vanscoy and Area Neighbourhood Watch”). Consider arranging for your neighbour to grab your newspapers, cut the gross or shovel snow, then return the favour when they’re away.

1. Outdoor painting. If the owners don't have the time or the resources to do a full painting job, have them go around the outside of the house and touch up any areas that look rough. If they find peeling paint, the areas can be scraped and sanded, then primed and painted to maintain even texture. 2. Outdoor caulking and sealing. Windows should be checked inside and out for possible leaks or cracks. With cold weather just around the corner, leaks or cracks could mean higher heating bills. Have leaks and cracks sealed with caulk, then look at the trim around each window-if any pieces are pulling out, have the owners check for mold
or rotting, then replace or reattach wood. 3. Concrete and asphalt patching. If the home features an asphalt driveway, it can be repaired with asphalt patching material. Asphalt should be sealed every other year. If the driveway or walkways are concrete, cracks or holes can be repaired with epoxy patching material. 4. Patio and deck maintenance. On wood decks, rotted boards should be replaced, painted or stained as needed, and critter nests and debris cleared. On brick patios, owners should replace missing bricks, level off areas where tree roots have pushed up the bricks and re-grout any areas where weeds or weather have degraded the hold between bricks. 5. Landscaping. Keep landscaping clean and attractive. Weeds should be pulled, dropped fruits and nuts removed from under trees to deter animals, and trees and bushes trimmed so they don't scrape the side of the house. Many landscaping companies offer affordable fall clean-up packages for homeowners who don't want to do the work themselves. If the home is still on the market leading into the holidays, owners can spend the colder months doing interior cosmetic upgrades, such as replacing floor coverings, upgrading cabinet hardware and interior painting. With a prioritized list, homeowners will feel more confident in their ability to finish interior updates before the start of the 2015 real estate season.

September 28, 2015 Building a Brighter Future for Saskatchewan Students The start of a new school year is always an exciting time for students and parents, teachers and support staff. This year, it is also a time of celebration as sod turnings have marked the start of a number of important infrastructure projects in some of Saskatchewan’s fastestgrowing communities. The construction of 18 new, publiclyowned elementary schools is now underway at nine joint-use sites in Saskatoon, Warman, Martensville, and Regina. Ready to welcome students in 2017, each of the nine joint-use sites will include 90 new child care spaces and a community centre. St. Brieux School is undergoing a renovation that will see a more spacious learning environment by 2017. This includes new classrooms and an Industrial Arts lab, Practical and Applied Arts space, cooking and clothing lab, new washrooms, and the expansion of the library and main entrance. Just recently, an expansion and renovation at Churchill Community High School in La Ronge was completed. The school, which can now accommodate more than 700 students and 32 child care spaces, has a new gym, multi-purpose room, learning centre, expanded Industrial Arts room, and a dental lab. These projects are part of our government’s commitment to improving quality of life for students, teachers and communities. We have committed approximately $966 million toward 65 major school capital projects and numerous smaller projects such as preventative maintenance and renewal. Government Supports New Child Care Centre I’m happy to see many young families finding opportunity in our province, deciding to put down roots and raise their children here. As a government, we’re proud to have responded to the needs of these families with record investments to expand child care options throughout the province. The Government of Saskatchewan’s investment in the new Awasis Child Care Centre at the University of Regina, brings the total number of child care spaces on campus to 180, will make a big difference in the lives of university students and families in the community with young children.
Since November 2007, the Government of Saskatchewan has made a record investment in licensed child care, allocating funding for 4,935 new child care spaces to communities across the province. This brings the total commitment of child care spaces in Saskatchewan to more than 14,200. You can find a list of licensed child care services in our local area online at saskatchewan.ca.

Community Rink Affordability Grants Returns for Another Season Saskatchewan’s community-owned, indoor skating and curling rinks are hubs for physical activity and community involvement. At the start of another hockey and curling season, we are reminded that these rinks are places where people of all ages come together and enjoy a variety of activities. Once again, the Government of Saskatchewan is offering the Community Rink Affordability Grant to communities across the province. Over the past three years, the program has granted $4.8 million to support operations and minor capital upgrades to 1,941 recreational ice surfaces in Saskatchewan. Communities, schools, non-profits and First Nations are now eligible to apply for funding. Successful applicants receive a grant of $2,500 per indoor ice surface. July Wholesale Trade Reaches New Record Despite pressures in the energy sector, the latest wholesale trade figures from Statistics Canada confirm that Saskatchewan’s economy is strong. Wholesale trade in July hit a record $2.17 billion (seasonally adjusted), the highest amount ever for the month. Record high wholesale trade is good news for the Saskatchewan economy. It points to greater demand for goods from business that will help sustain positive growth. The rise in a number of other areas shows that we have a diversified economy, which is a buffer when it comes to the current state of the global marketplace. This means we have some protection from what’s happening in the resource sector, and gives us confidence that we will be able to move quickly to turn things around once market conditions improve.

isk exists in all aspects of the farming business. Farmers will face production, marketing, financial, legal and human resources risks. Risk can be mitigated by having a risk management strategy. As part of the risk management strategy, insurance can be an option for mitigating risk. There are many different types of insurance to consider for mitigating risk. Disability, critical illness and life insurance are a few of the available options to help mitigate human resource risk. If something were to happen that left you disabled and unable to work temporarily or permanently, would you still be able to generate income? Agriculture ranks as Canada’s third most hazardous industry. Disability insurance insures your ability to generate income if you were to become disabled. Disability insurance covers injury and illness and pays a portion of income while recovering. There are many different types of disability insurance
the Risk Off the Table
and it is important to select what is right for you and your business. A financial planner can help to select the most appropriate insurance for your situation. Do you know someone who has suffered a heart attack, a stroke or has been diagnosed with cancer? How did this impact their life? According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation 2015 statistics every seven minutes in Canada, someone dies from heart disease or stroke. When receiving treatment for a critical illness it becomes a full time job. Your main focus should be on making a full recovery not worrying about your finances. Critical illness provides a lump sum payment if you survive 30 days after diagnose. The lump sum payment can take the financial worry off the table. Another important insurance to consider is life insurance. What happens to the farm business if you die? Will your family be taken care in the event of a death? Life insurance
can help lessen the burden to remaining family members. A life insurance payment could be used to pay off any outstanding debt or taxes at the time of death. Life insurance can also be utilized to fund a succession plan. Enlist the help of a professional to calculate the right amount of life insurance for you and your farm business. You have worked hard to build your business, consider insurance as a way to help protect it. There are many different insurance options to consider that can be used to mitigate risk. When looking at all the different options available consider speaking with a professional, such as a financial planner, to aid in the selection of the most appropriate insurance for the farming operation.

There are several different types of cattle feeding contracts being used today. Three of the most common ones are “cost of gain”, “feed plus yardage” and “per day” agreements. All types of agreements should set out the number of head, duration of the feeding period, cattle type and feed ration. In cost of gain contracts, the feedlot operator is paid a price per pound of gain with the owner specifying a target average daily gain. This type of agreement is typical when calves are being backgrounded. Total gain is established by the difference between weights

ustom feeding could be a viable way to retain ownership of your cattle if you do not possess adequate feed supplies this year. Just as important as finding a reputable cattle feeder, the custom feeding contract should not be overlooked. It is important to identify the responsibilities of the cattle owner and the cattle feeder and to put them in writing.
he Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Beef Cattle was initially developed and released by the National Farm Animal Care Council in 1991 and revised in 2013. The revised code included the adoption of measures to mitigate pain associated with some common animal husbandry techniques to come into effect January 1, 2016. Dehorning of cattle will require the use of pain control any time after horn bud attachment has occurred. Horn bud attachment typically occurs around two months of age. The method of pain control should be determined in consultation with your veterinarian. Best management practices for disbudding or dehorning cattle include the

Custom Feeding Contracts
from the start and end of the feeding period. Out weights usually factor in a pencil shrink that should be specified in the agreement. Usually minimum and maximum weight gains are specified. In a feed plus yardage agreement, the livestock owner pays yardage costs to the custom feeder as well as the cost of all feed. The yardage portion would cover such costs as labour, building and machinery depreciation and general overhead expenses. This type of agreement can work for both cows and for feeders. Make sure the feeder puts a value on the feed prior to the feeding period to avoid any surprises. Per day agreements are common when mature cows are being custom fed. The owner of the cattle simply pays a per day rate for the length of the feeding term. With this type of agreement it is important to know what feeds and what quantity will be fed. Depending on the harshness of the winter this type of agreement doesn’t always work. In

cold weather the feeder has little incentive to provide additional feed to meet the nutritional requirements of the cows. All types of agreements should also determine who is responsible for the cost of vaccinations, castration, dehorning, tagging and subsequent treatment and vet costs. Death loss also needs to be set out in the agreement specifying at what percentage each party takes responsibility for losses. Other issues that should be dealt with in a custom cattle feeding contract include lost or missing cattle, chronically ill animals, access to the feedlot and right to terminate the contract. Contracts should also include payment terms. Custom feeding is an option that should be considered this winter if you are short on feed. The freight on hauling cows to a location to be fed can be a lot less than the freight on hauling large quantities of feed. It is important to factor these costs in when considering custom feeding.
Beef Cattle Code of Practical Awareness
use of homozygous polled bulls to prevent offspring from having horns. In the event that horn buds are present, removal procedures should be completed at the youngest possible age. Disbudding is accomplished with a caustic paste or a hot iron, to damage the horn producing cells in young animals. Once the bud is attached, removal of the horn becomes more invasive, produces more pain, requires a longer recovery and has a greater potential for complications. Turning bulls older than nine months of age into steers will also require steps to mitigate pain. The code also indicates that the threshold age will be lowered to six months of age on January 1, 2018. Research indicates that using a combi-
nation of local anaesthetic and an analgesic reduces pain associated with castration. Making sure that procedures which are painful are conducted in the most appropriate manner is part of a producer’s responsibility to maintain the social license to continue to operate. For additional information regarding pain mitigation for disbudding, dehorning, and castration, please view the Beef Cattle Research Council’s website or your veterinarian. The Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Beef Cattle can be obtained at: http://www.nfacc.ca/codesof-practice/beef-cattle or by contacting a regional livestock specialist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture.
