Editorial

have never been one of those people that has lots of friends, but the few I have had during my life have been very good friends.

The ones that you can share your deepest inner feelings with, without being judged, but whom are willing to let you know when you are messing up... best friends.

I recently lost one of those.

Leo unfortunately took his own life a couple of weeks ago.

I was shocked and numb when I found out. I was angry... I was disappointed... I was confused.

But why was I ???

We had talked about in the past, in fact had tried before. Eventually I realized I wasn’t surprised at all.

Then I just felt sick...

How could I have spent so much time with a best friend and been so unable to support him when he was so obviously in need !

At his Celebration of Life (below) I met many of his friends that he had introduced me to, or I came to know on my own, but had not spent much time with. They expressed to me the same feelings of confusion, anger and disappointment, wishing that if only they had been able to do something... talk to him... offer him another alternative that day.

The RM Review

A Friend in Need...

When you see anyone suffering it is only natural that you want to help them, and you want them to help themselves, you don’t want to watch them get worse. But it is hard to help them if you are not sure what to do, or if they don’t know how to, or even want to help themselves.

A collection was taken that day for the Mental Health Association.

We obviously all have a lot more to learn about the human condition.

Leo worked for many years as an iron worker on many jobs sites. His ‘outgoing nature’ resulted in many people across the country never forgetting working with him. To those people he was just that, an iron worker, and a funny guy. A real funny guy... and they loved him.

I never worked with Leo. I knew him because he chose me to be his friend. We didn’t seem to have much in common... like education, employment, lifestyle, friends.

We just enjoyed each other and made each other laugh... a lot.

It wasn’t hard, because Leo was a very diverse person and was quite willing to share his experiences with artistry, relationships, food, family, depression, music, poetry, mechanics, anxiety, politics... you name we discussed it. Sometime

until dawn (most times actually).

I learnt a lot from Leo. And when I needed it, like a true best friend, he was there to support me.

If one of us made a mistake... we would always forgive each other.

Maybe Leo made one too many mistakes... I don’t know... but as much as this has ripped the heart right out my chest, I’ll be damned if I can’t forgive him one more time !

When I built my house, my best friends helped me in many ways.

Leo was one. He spent countless hours painting, many hours in a bobcat to clean-up the landscaping, and he spent many evenings, after work, in the rain, welding up some of his own scrap steel to build me an I-Beam to support the house. I thought it was crazy not to buy one, but he insisted, even arranging a crane to set it onto the foundation.

It may wasn’t possible for me to be enough of a friend to support him when he needed it most... but when I walk across that beam under my floor, I will always know that he is still supporting me.

to everyone that came together with us as we celebrated the life of our friend Leo Johnson.

Thanks to your generosity we were able to make a donation of $700 to the Mental Health Association.

The assistance of those that helped prepare for the day is much appreciated.

The support of many friends is how we are able manage the loss of one.

Sheila Quintaine and friends

Peace and Love Brother.

Skate Delisle Sends Out A Huge Thank You

s most of you are likely aware, some unfortunate events during the 2016 – 2017 skate season jeopardized the ability of the Skate Delisle to continue to operate in the community. Going into the 2017 – 2018 season, we were not sure that we were going to be in a position that would allow us to continue to offer this programing to the community. However, under the leadership of a new board of executives, many fundraising efforts and generous donations from various community groups we were able to turn this situation around.

The Board would like to take the opportunity to publicly thank everyone that played a part in getting us back to where we needed to be. We would first like to thank the parents of our small, but determined group of skaters for all of their very hard work to keep the club afloat we could not have kept the program going without your support.

Secondly we would like to send a HUGE thank you out to the Friday afternoon hockey team for their very generous donation of $2800, this really cut down on

the rest of the fundraising we had to do.

These generous hockey players gave us the boost we needed to keep going so that the kids could continue developing their love of skating. This is what community is all about!

Third, we would like to thank the Delisle Recreation Board for their donation of $500. Finally, we would like to thank all of the other groups that thought of Skate Delisle when a funding raising opportunity came about like the Delisle Rodeo Committee, Community Players and anyone else that I might be forgetting.

We will be starting the 2018-2019 Skating season in good shape and are looking forward to possibly expanding the programs that are being offered. I look forward to working with the parents and many energetic skaters in the upcoming year.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at skatedelisle@gmail.com

Prairie Spirit Board of Education Approves 2018/19 Budget

T

he Prairie Spirit Board of Education approved the Division’s 2018/19 budget at its meeting on Monday, June 18, the last Board meeting of the current school year.

“Our budget has been designed to support the Board’s key results areas,” said Larry Pavloff, Board Chair. “This includes a focus on graduation rates, reading, writing, mathematics and early learning.”

Prairie Spirit’s funding is determined by the Ministry of Education, based on the provincial funding formula and the projected enrolment for the school division.

The provincial budget in April detailed all school division funding for 2018/19.

Prairie Spirit’s funding increased by 2.46% ($2.61 million) over the previous year, in recognition of the Division’s growing enrolment. Prairie Spirit is projecting an enrolment increase of almost 200 students for the upcoming school year. “We are very grateful for our funding for 2018/19 as it recognizes the enrolment growth in our school division,” said Pavloff.

Budget Highlights • Staffing: Prairie Spirit will add 10 additional teaching positions and seven additional Educational Associate positions for the 2018/19 school year. This staffing reflects the Ministry’s funding for enrolment growth.

• Rosthern School project: Prairie Spirit’s funding for 2018/19 included over $10 million for the ongoing Rosthern School project. The two schools in Rosthern will be consolidated into a PreKindergarten to Grade 12 facility which will be open for students by September 2020. The projected total cost of the project is over $24 million.

• Facility repairs and maintenance: The provincial budget allocated an increase of 14.8% for facility repairs and maintenance for school divisions. Prairie Spirit’s annual allocation in this area will be $2.3 million for 2018/19, an increase of $400,000.

• Busing: Prairie Spirit’s budget includes $1.5 million to purchase new buses for the Division.

The 2018/19 budget was developed following extensive consultation with the Board of Education and the Division’s senior leadership. School division budgets must be submitted to the Ministry by the end of June.

ith seeding mostly complete in Saskatchewan, agronomists and producers are busy in the fields ensuring that the crops are growing as they should.

However, it is still early in the season, and there are many things to be on the lookout for.

Saskatchewan Agriculture produces pest forecast maps each year and posts them online to help guide producers and agronomists’ scouting efforts. Data is collected throughout the growing season by specialists and industry agronomists surveying for insects and plant diseases. The maps are currently being updated weekly to show Diamondback Moth numbers throughout the province. The Bertha Armyworm Moth traps will be put up in fields

The Best Place to Learn is in the Field

the first week of June, and the weekly map will start to be generated midmonth until canola flowering is complete. These maps are produced as tools; fields should still be monitored as moths can lay their eggs in different fields. The plant disease surveys will start in late July with the lentil disease survey. Shortly after that, the canola disease survey will start in August.

While fields are monitored regularly throughout the growing season, conditions favoring different crop pests can change quickly and much of the insect and disease activity can depend on the weather. Seedlings have been susceptible to many stresses already this year, such as insect feeding, heat stress, frost, and in some cases, hail.

Correctly identifying what causes certain damage and then taking the appropriate action can be difficult at times, especially if there is more than one culprit. It can be hard to compare what is seen in the field to what a resource book would show. Another challenge to consider is that scouting for different pests can differ from one another.

Looking in the right places, when there are so many things to look for, can be time consuming.

Knowing what to do can save time when out in the field.

To help agronomists and producers make these difficult decisions, Saskatchewan Agriculture is hosting Crop Diagnostic School again this summer. With six stations to rotate through, participants can expect to

get a broad look at all aspects of crop scouting.

Whether the concern is spraying herbicides to planting something different, there is much to learn in the field. The 2018 Crop Diagnostic School will be held at the Northeast Agricultural Research Foundation (NARF) in Melfort on

any producers could improve the health of their range and pastureland by improving livestock distribution.

Livestock distribution refers to the dispersion of grazing animals over an entire pasture. Ideal grazing distribution, while often impractical, occurs when proper utilization extends uniformly over the entire pasture. Livestock unfortunately, often prefer to graze in the same area day after day, season after season. This repeated over-use of key grazing areas leads to deterioration of these areas, while other areas within the pasture may hardly be grazed at all.

What are some common tools used to improve livestock distribution across a ranch?

Water availability: Water is by far the most important distribution tool used on livestock operations. Livestock need water and as a result will spend the majority of their time near it. The loitering of cattle in wetland areas can be a challenge.

July 24 or 25. The school will feature the following stations: - Weed Identification and Management - Disease Identification - Sprayer Application Technology - Insect Scouting and ID - Environmental Damage - New Crops

Registration for the summer event is open now online at www.prairiecca.ca.

For more information, contact your Crops Extension Specialist or visit www.saskatchewan.ca/ag riculture to view the most recent pest forecast maps

Improving Livestock Distribution on Pasture It is desirable to develop new water sources in areas that are underutilized. Numerous techniques can be used to develop alternative water sources such as installing solar or conventional pumps; developing springs, seeps or wells; and piping water to troughs to improve livestock distribution.

Fencing: A cross-fence that is well thought out and situated properly can help considerably in improving livestock distribution. Ideally fences should be used to separate forage types. For example, a tame pasture should be fenced separately from native grassland, and sometimes it may be desirable to fence riparian areas separately from upland pastures.

Supplements: Salt, mineral, and protein supplements are useful tools that can aid in distributing livestock, by encouraging them to move into areas that they don’t normally use much.

These supplements should be placed away from water sources, therefore helping move

cattle into areas they don’t normally use as much. Others supplements that can aid distribution include hay, grain, molasses, etc.

Herding: Herding is another method that can be used to improve distribution and facilitate uniform utilization throughout the pasture. The only downfall of this tool is that it is labour intensive and in most cases requires daily riding and herding. Herding combined with other tools such as strategic supplementation (i.e. salt, mineral or protein supplement) can decrease labour costs and can be more effective than herding alone.

Livestock Class: In general, cow-calf pairs tend to be the most difficult livestock class to distribute as they tend to spend a large portion of their time near riparian areas loafing and foraging. Yearlings and nonlactating cows however, often distribute themselves more widely throughout a pasture.

WAWANESA INTRODUCES PERSONAL CYBER PROTECTION

C

omputers, devices and smart appliances can create avenues for cyber attackers to infiltrate your data in order to steal information, extort money and commit fraud. You wouldn’t consider leaving your home, vehicle or valuable belongings unprotected, what about your private data? In the wrong hands, your personal information can be worth just as much as your valuable assets and can be costly to recover.

Cyber extortion: demands to damage, disable or deny you access to files on your devices or system Example: A pop up on your computer screen demands ransom be paid for a decryption key to unlock your files. The ransom is paid and an IT firm investigates the ransom and makes sure no viruses are left behind on the computer. Your coverage ensures you won’t be out of pocket for payments and professional assistance in responding to Cyber Extortion demands.

Wawanesa Mutual Insurance has recently launched innovative cyber protection insurance solutions for homeowners and home-based businesses. Effective January 1, 2018, Wawanesa became the first major insurance company in Canada to offer a personal cyber insurance solution. As the world becomes more interconnected and criminals become both more invasive and sophisticated, this coverage protects anyone who operates a connected home device, stores information electronically and accesses data online. There are two coverage options available $25,000 for $45.00 and $50,000 limit for $60.00 annually. A $500 deductible applies for losses under Personal Cyber Protection.

Any claim must be reported within 60 days of being discovered. Any claims against this cover will not result in the loss of a policy claims free discount.

Online fraud: Online criminal deception, identity theft and unauthorized use of credit cards or bank accounts. Your coverage protects you from financial loss due to criminal deception, identity theft and unauthorized use of credit cards or bank accounts.

Data breach: Loss, theft or accidental release of other individuals’ personally identifying information in your care, custody or control. Most of have addresses, phone number and even birthdays stored electronically now to stay organized. This information can be dangerous if your device falls into the wrong hands. Your coverage takes the responsibility off your shoulders in the event of loss, theft or accidental release of other people’s sensitive information that was stored on your system or device.

Four types of coverage included under the Personal Cyber Protection Endorsement:

Please consult your policy documents for all coverages, terms, conditions, limits and exclusions.

Cyber-attack: Unauthorized access or malware damage to your computing or connected home device Example: You open a file attachment in what appeared to be a legitimate email and unleash a malware virus which corrupts data and reconfigures your computer. Restoration involves formatting the hard drive, erasing everything and reinstalling the operating system and applications. Your coverage pays to recover and restore systems affected by cyber- attack.

MP REPORT Religious Freedom / Broncos Update

L

ast Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that law societies throughout Canada can discriminate against graduates of Trinity Western University’s proposed law school due to the University’s religious covenant, agreed to by all students. Trinity Western is a private Christian university in British Columbia. The covenant states that students are expected to live in accordance with Christian values regarding, among other issues, sexual morality.

The decision by the Supreme Court against Trinity Western University is very disappointing and concerning. The Supreme Court failed to acknowledge Section 2 of the Charter, which lies under the heading “Fundamental Freedoms.” In fact, the freedom of conscience and religion is the very first right delineated in the Charter.

I am concerned that this ruling will set an unwelcome precedent wherein the courts determine that religious convictions can only be lived out in private, and must have no bearing on public life.

I lean heavily on the comments from the dissenting opinions of Justices Côté and Brown in clearly laying out the problems with this decision: “The decision not to approve the TWU’s proposed law faculty [...] is a profound interference with religious freedom.” (Law Society of British Columbia v. Trinity Western University, p. 268, Côté and Brown JJ.) and, “The LSBC [Law Society of British Columbia] has purported to act in the cause of the ensuring equal access to the profession, it has effectively denied that access to a segment of Canadian society.” (Law Society of British Columbia v. Trinity Western University, p.

261, Côté and Brown JJ.) Given that Law Societies in six other provincial jurisdictions came to a different conclusion I would assume that this issue will be debated for some time to come.

I am proud of the Law Society of Saskatchewan for granting accreditation to Trinity Western University, and call on law societies throughout the country to admit students who exercise their Charter rights to freedom of religion, expression, and opinion.

Humboldt Broncos This week during the NHL Awards a touching tribute to the Humboldt Broncos was given. Many of the surviving members of the team came together on stage and after receiving a standing ovation, thanked all those who went out of their way to help and honour the team through donations and support.

During the awards, Christina Haugan, on behalf of her late husband, and former Broncos coach, Darcy Haugan, accepted the inaugural Willie O’Ree Award.

The award, named after the NHL’s first black player, is presented to an individual who has positively impacted his or her community through hockey.

“I am honoured to accept this award on behalf of Darcy, but not because of what happened to him on April 6, 2018, but because of what he did every day before April 6,” said Christina Haugan. “Darcy used the game of hockey, which he was so passionate about, as a tool to help shape young lives. He developed a Core Covenant which was painted on the wall outside of the Broncos dressing room. It reads as follows:

‘Family first. Treat my teammates and coworkers with respect. Be thankful for the opportunity to wear the Broncos jersey. Play each game and practice with passion and determination. Conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity. Treat all volunteers, billets, sponsors, and fans with respect and gratitude. Understand that we are building foundations for future generations with our words and attitudes. Always have hope and believe that everything is possible. Always give more than you take. Strive for greatness in all areas of life.’”

Washington Capitals forward, Chandler Stephenson from Saskatoon, will be bringing the Stanley Cup to Humboldt on August 24. Other NHL players will join Stephenson and host a skills competition and subsequent events in the Elgar Petersen Arena throughout the day.

Canada Summer Jobs Program The Bruno Cherry Festival, an event that has brought the community together for the past 15 years, has been cancelled this year due to the denial of funding from the Canada Summer Jobs Program.

The St. Therese Institute, which has organized the event over the last number of years, released a statement, which read in part:

“For the past 15 years, the Bruno Cherry Sunday Festival… has hired a full-time summer employee through the Canada Summer Jobs Program to coordinate the event. This year, our application for a summer student was denied because we could not; in good conscience, agree to all aspects of the application’s newly added attestation requirement.”

They also stated that despite initial hopes that the event could go on with volunteer support, it became clear that, without a full-time coordinator, the event would have to be cancelled.

This announcement comes on the heels of the revelation that the Canada Summer Jobs Program funded the anti-Semitic group Al Quds, which calls for the eradication of the State of Israel.

This intolerant attestation targets the personal beliefs of individuals and organizations, including those, like the Bruno Cherry Festival, that do not engage in any political activity.

Unfortunately, this is not the only example of the values test resulting in unnecessary hardship. Two weeks ago, the Bangor Sawmill Museum in Nova Scotia closed its doors indefinitely after it was denied funding for refusing to sign the attestation.

These are only two examples from the over 1500 applications that refused to sign the attestation.

Our Conservative Caucus believes that a values test for federal funding has no place in a tolerant, multicultural society such as Canada.

he Asquith Fire Department and the Asquith First Responders held their Pig Roast Supper and Auction on June 9, 2017. What was originally intended to be a biennial event Initiated in 2011 has transformed into a highly anticipated annual public event since 2016; each year building on the successes of the previous event.

Building on the past years, the 2018 version of the Pig Roast included a show and shine, beer gardens, afternoon music, bouncy castle, face painting, barbeque lunch and fencing demonstration provided by the fencing club, snacks and refreshments provided by the travel club, supper, live auction, raffle table and a street dance.

They say word of mouth is the best advertising and after the turn out for the show and shine, we would tend to agree. This year’s show and shine had the best turn out yet featuring 48 registered vehicles (51 were on display) and included old classics, new muscle cars, semi-trucks, motorcycles and some rat rods. Both sides of the street were filled and then some.

One of the drawing cards for the car show may have been the inaugural “People’s Choice Award” being given away; and what a beauty it was! The winner of the “People’s Choice Award” was Wiola Syslo with her 2007 Ford Mustang GT. As always, the pig was the main attraction as it was being roasted all day at the front of the Elk’s Hall; the smell was amazing and had people anticipating supper.

The beer gardens were well attended all day and at supper there wasn’t an empty chair to be found. In all 235 tickets for supper were sold, but estimated overall

attendance throughout the day would be approximately 450 – 500 people enjoying all the free events.

When it was time for the auction, people filled the hall for the chance to take home some amazing donations; and in the process of bidding on the items, showed their amazing support for our organizations. Heck, even the auctioneer bid on a few items!

At the end of auction, Fire Chief Graham and Primary First Responder Diane Haugrud thanked all the volunteers for their hard work, the sponsors for their donations and support and all of the people for constantly and consistently showing unwavering support for our organizations.

Some words from FC Graham that hit home “With the recent addition to our first call area, AFD’s response area now covers just over 700 square kilometers. So if you’re located anywhere between Kinley to the new G3 facility, or any grid road in between, we’ll be the ones responding. Without your support we wouldn’t be able to do what we do”.

We would like to thank everyone who helped make this event a success this year. Whether you contributed through a donation, volunteered your time, gave of your business or came to enjoy the event; your contribution is greatly appreciated. Mere words cannot express our gratitude.

All funds raised are earmarked for the 4 bay addition to our firehall; the structure was recently constructed and now needs to be finished.
