Summertime..... and the living is easy....
es, summertime is upon us. With the warm early spring it seems like we are already halfway through summer. I have cut the lawn twice already, the garden is in (thanks to Shelley and Remington, though I did do the rototilling), the yard has been cleaned up and I already have one trip to dump under my belt. Next I can look forward to finishing up the flower beds, building two new ponds, staining the decks and fences, and look.... thanks to the rain the lawns need a third cutting already. YIKES... I’m already not liking this trend and it is still three more weeks until the actual first day of summer ! Fortunately, I can find a lot of reasons (excuses ?) to put off some of this work, thanks to the plethora of activities and events all around our community. Yes... a plethora ! If your read through our 4 page Activities Guide on page 7 you will find many ‘excuses’ that you can use too. Start with this Sunday, two Car Shows and a Fishing Derby. Then there is the Eagle Creek Jamboree, the Highway 60 Market, and the Planes, Train & Automobiles event in Vanscoy on Father’s Day. Ah, yes, Father’s Day.... of course it would be blasphemous for me to work on that day either !

ROBIN’S NEST CAFE 20TH ANNIVERSARY
R
obin & Quinten Odnokon were married in 1995 and moved to Vanscoy in 1996 where, after getting a tip from a good friend in the food wholesale business, they opened Robin’s Nest Cafe on June 6th. Robin, originally from Outlook, and Quinten, from Saskatoon, have since been operating the successful business for 20 years. During those years they have employed over 70 local residents, mostly teenagers who gained their first work experience in a caring and responsible environment while they continued with their eduction. Some have gone on to successful careers in the food service, and almost all of them have maintained a friendship with them to this day. The same can be said of their customers. “They have been very loyal to us” says Robin, “and we have become lifelong friends with many of them as well.”
Operating a business 7 days a week is very demanding. Some years they have only been able to take a one week holiday during the year but still they have managed to find time to pursue other activities. Quinten spent some time coaching youth soccer in Vanscoy, and recently has been spending time becoming a local, amateur storm chaser. “we basically live at the north end of Tornado Alley in North America” says Quinten, “and right now we are in high season and everyone should be prepared.” And to be prepared he suggests to check the “Your Emergency Preparedness Guide”, at www.GetPrepared.ca and also the “Self-Help Advice, Severe Storms”, at www.psepc.gc.ca both put out by Government of Canada. Robin’s entrepreneurial and management skills have been keeping the business, and Quinten, pointed in the right direction. She is a strong leader and in 2009 was elected to the Vanscoy Village Council. In 2014 she successfully ran for the Mayors seat and still serves the community in that capacity today.
The menu has always had a diverse selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner options, and the food quality has been consistent for all these years.

TOWN OF ASQUITH
TOWN OF DELISLE
VILLAGE OF VANSCOY
Asquith Town Council held its regular meeting on May 11, 2016. Attending were Mayor Gail Erhart, Councillors Sue Sawicki, Garry Dumont, Ross Beal, Leen Van Marion and Don Lysyshyn. Also attending was C.A.O. Holly Cross and Foreman Darren Kraft. A resolution was made to accept the April 13, 2016 regular meeting minutes and the April 20, 2016 special meeting minutes as presented. The treasurer's statement of receipts and expenditures for April 2016 and the March 2016 bank reconciliations were accepted as presented. A motion was made by Council to accept accounts paid in the amount of $21,915.55 and accounts payable in the amount of $57,929.59 as presented. Councillor Sawicki reported on her attendance at the semi-annual meeting of the Wheatland Regional Library. She presented Council with the Wheatland Regional Library Annual Report. She also reported that there are a multitude of books (children and adult), movies, games, etc. that can be accessed digitally through the Wheatland Regional Library by using one's Wheatland Regional Library card. Council approved the closure of a portion of Main Street for a street dance sponsored by the Asquith Fire Department on Saturday, September 10, 2016. Council also extended the parameters of the Noise Bylaw for this event to 1:00 a.m. A riding mower and a push mower were purchased by the Town to accommodate the maintenance of the Asquith Cemetery. There have been reports that individuals have been utilizing the Asquith Cemetery as a fenced in dog area that they can let their dogs run loose to get their exercise. It pains this office to have to explain to people that this is unacceptable and is NOT allowed. Respect must be given to the final resting place of those interred there. Needless to say, if anyone is observed doing this again, they will be charged. For information regarding upcoming events, please refer to the Town's website www.townofasquith.com
Council held a regular meeting May 10, 2016. Permission was given to the Delisle Bruins Senior Hockey Club to make improvements to the dressing rooms in the arena as funds permit. Council approved the subdivision of the fourplex on Lots 1 & 18, Block 22, Plan 61S14868 into condominiums. Council authorized the temporary street closure of 1st Street West and Main Street on Saturday, July 16th, 2016 in order to accommodate the Delisle Days Parade. A Community Event Liquor Permit was issued to the Delisle Rodeo Committee for an event to take place at the Delisle Sportsgrounds on July 15th to 17th, 2016. Bylaw No. 3-2016, being a bylaw to amend Bylaw No. 4-2013 known as The Water and Sewer Management Bylaw, was read three times and adopted. The Town of Delisle now has a permanent Community Living bin located at the back of the town office (northeast corner). Clothing items, shoes, boots, jackets, towels and bedding linens are accepted in the bin. These items are collected by Community Living and then sold. The money raised goes to fund support for people with intellectual disabilities in Saskatchewan. If a person has household goods, large amounts of bagged or boxed items or has difficulties getting out and about, you can schedule a pickup at your front door by calling 306-649-6288 or email rdrummond@communitylivingpickup.ca. For more information on the Community Living program you can look on the web page at www.communitylivingpicking.ca.
Street repairs will be done between the middle of June and the first week of July. Please have vehicles moved off the streets prior to the middle of June to allow the contractors to do their work. Following the repairs, the streets will be swept, so vehicles will need to be kept off the streets for the cleaning also. The regular Council Meeting of June 8 has been rescheduled to the following Tuesday – June 14. Please remember that waste and recycling bins need to be placed curbside no later than 7:30 am on the appropriate Thursday, and should be removed from the street as soon as possible after being emptied. Bins will not be picked up if they are so full that the lid cannot be closed; so do not overfill your bin and run the risk of not being picked up.

Food for Thought Wild Fires The whole country is mesmerized with the tragic fire in Alberta. The deep loss cannot be put in ordinary terms. The rally of citizens in the fire zone and across the nation is a credit to citizenship. Every old head is nodding because to live in Western Canada is to experience wild fires at some point. I will share my personal encounters. Some will recall the Jumping Pound fire that got into the tops of the trees and spread so rapidly that it trapped a rural school. The teacher wisely took her students into a cultivated field and saved them all. I was coming home from a neighbouring primary school with the smoke so heavy I couldn’t see my way. Fortunately my dad had drilled it in to me

that when there is trouble let the reins loose and the saddle horse will come home. It worked that day. Another instance occurred when a grass fire was travelling up the Elbow River Valley towards the western edge of Calgary. The call went out and our threshing crew responded. The event this time was that my father and I got trapped by fire with the only way out was to lay down and crawl across the humps in the swamp. Unfortunately, wild fires will occur in the West, although hopefully not on the scale of Fort Mac. Opinions expressed here are exclusively those of the author.

CHIEF’S CORNER
ell, we managed to make it through the road ban season almost completely unscathed only to move straight into that other type of ban which everyone, especially those of us living in a rural area dreads, fire bans! As a result of the extraordinary dry Spring we encountered coupled with the many windy days in April, and May, there was a lengthy fire ban imposed for the RM of Vanscoy. This ban was also imposed throughout the entire Province of Saskatchewan, so we were not alone in that regard. As a result of the fire bans being imposed there was little time for the Chief to take a break from the road ban season, as new calls regarding fire bans just kept rolling in this month. The Chief went from ensuring the roads in the RM were protected and not destroyed by over weight traffic during road ban season, to making sure that the fields and residences that all of those roads led to didn't burn down also. So, based on the number of phone calls I received during the Spring fire ban, as well as those directed to our local fire departments, and elected officials for the RM, regarding illegal burning that was happening within the RM, I am wondering what it is about fire bans that some of our constituents don't quite understand? When a fire ban is imposed it is done so to protect not only your property, but the property of your neighbour, as well as all things nearby which burn. That pretty much means most everything that can be found within an RM property, namely; the grass, trees, brush, stubble, and buildings. Machinery and cars too, if they get caught in the path of a good fire that has a strong wind blowing behind it. We all saw what happened in Fort McMurray this Spring, and how devastating these wildfires can truly be, but still people thought it safe to burn in the Vanscoy RM while the fire bans were imposed. This puzzles me. Why do intelligent people, and I am referring to those who own property and therefore are normally of an adult age, engage in an activity which they know is not only illegal, but more importantly potentially very dangerous? First of all, do you all remember that old saying that goes something like this; "where there's smoke there's fire." Well, it's true! If you are having a fire there will be smoke. More pointedly, if your neighbour, or some-

Sgt. Murray McCracken RM of Vanscoy Police Chief
one in the vicinity of your property sees smoke coming from your land during a fire ban guess what, they are probably calling the police, the fire department, the Reeve, RM Counselors, Fire Control in Saskatoon, or the Provincial Fire Control Center in Prince Albert, because they suspect you are having a fire. One way, or another, your fire is going to be reported and once it is brought to the attention of someone in authority there will probably be repercussions and consequences. Worse yet, you as the property owner may be in big trouble because you, or someone there made the choice to light a fire on your land. If the Police respond to a fire occurring on your property during an imposed fire ban you are likely going to be charged. With that comes a very large fine that you probably haven't budgeted for. If the Fire Department responds and has to extinguish a fire on your property, whether it is contained, or gotten away on you, there will also be a charge for them attending. Please don't blame the police, the fire department, or even that person you suspect has reported you for this action. The person that reported the fire likely did not just pick up the phone in a jealous fit of rage miffed that you are burning meanwhile they can't. And, please don't use that worn out excuse that possibly your neighbours don't like you. Which in your case may, or may not, be true, but the real reason they are calling to report a fire is usually because they are afraid for their own fields and buildings being burnt to the ground by your illtimed use of fire. I guarantee, if that situation did occur to their property because a fire which you started got out of control they probably won't like you in the future. So, in conclusion you probably want to know what constitutes an illegal fire during a fire ban. Basically, a fire ban covers anything which you are burning on your property. Whether it is in an open fire such as burning the stubble in one of your fields, or setting fire to the twigs and branches you've collected and thrown in your fire pit, or burning barrel. Yes, it also includes all of those lovely things that you like to incinerate in your burning barrel. Covered with a grate, or not, the practice of using a burning barrel to burn stuff is NOT allowed during a fire ban.
If you are planning to have friends and family over for a weenie roast and you think you are ok sitting around a small camp fire in your back yard I suggest that you think twice about that and not use your fire pit. Or, you can be charged under the Provincial Fire Prevention Act - 1992 if you are in contravention of an Order of the Act. Fines for an offence under this Act can range as high as $5,000 for the first offence. So, if you still want to have that bonfire during a fire ban, and you don't want to be charged, then instead of using your fire pit, I suggest you purchase a propane fireplace kit that you can buy at most any hardware store in Saskatoon. This will at least simulate a campfire, even if it does not exactly smell like one, and this type of simulated fire is allowed during a fire ban. Lastly, if you are unsure if there is a fire ban in effect within the RM the easiest way to determine if there is, or isn't one, and whether you can, or can't burn, is simply to ask someone if a fire ban is in place. There are countless ways you can do this properly. You may call the Vanscoy RM office, or go to their web page and check to see if a fire ban is on. Or, call one of our local fire departments; Pike Lake, Asquith, and Delisle Fire Dept. and their personnel will be able to set you straight about fire regulations and fire bans. Or, if you want the very highest authority on fires within the Province call the Fire Control Center in Saskatoon, or the Provincial Fire Control Center in Prince Albert directly and ask them. There is really no excuse for not knowing a fire ban is in effect. To register a controlled burn you are planning to have on your property you can call the Government of Saskatchewan Controlled Burn number, 1-866-4044911. The former Burning Permits are now referred to as 'Burn Notifications'. To report a fire occurring in Saskatchewan you can call the Fire Incident Reporting Line (answered 24 hours a day) at 1-800-739-3473 (FIRE), or call 911. To report a Wildfire occurring in Saskatchewan you can call 1-800-667-9660. Remember, be courteous to all of your neighbours within our RM, stay safe, and everyone have an enjoyable Summer! The Chief.

SASKATCHEWAN RAILWAY MUSEUM
OASIS GOLF COURSE - PERDUE
The Saskatchewan Railway Museum is located on the Pike Lake Highway just west of Saskatoon, at the intersection of mile 2.9 of the CN Rosetown Subdivision and Highway 60. The museum is open during the summer months from the May long weekend to the September long weekend from 10am to 5pm and by appointment on other days. The Museum is staffed by summer students and volunteers that provide tours and undertake various restoration projects. In the offseason, museum members keep busy working behind the scenes, holding an annual general meeting and beginning preparations for the spring opening on the May long weekend. The museum will celebrate Railway Heritage Day on July 1 with special demonstrations and exhibits.
The backdrop for The Oasis is the eastern slopes of the Bear Hills. It gives way to the great outwash prairie and paints a unique backdrop. To the west is the rugged terrain of the hills, to the east, the flat of the great Saskatchewan prairie carved by Lake Van Scoy that is home to thousands of Canada Geese the odd Whooping Crane and Bald Eagles during the fall and spring migration. All this splendor can be found a short 33-minute drive west of Saskatoon on Highway 14. The Oasis golf course has been built by the designer, Glen Campbell. The course features massive bent grass greens (some are over 17,600 FT) and tees, 6 water hazards, 68 bunkers, including one of Saskatchewan's largest sand bunkers. The course is a playable par 72 6,943 yards from the black tees, 6,373 yards from the gold tees and 5,887 yards blue tees and 5,209 yards from the white tees. There is also a practice putting green, and a large practice facility/driving range. It has a fully-stocked pro shop, licensed restaurant with a terrace that offers an unparalleled view overlooking the course and the ever-changing prairie sky.

Another exciting event has decided to partner with the John Arcand Fiddle Fest; The 5K Foam Fest Canada is coming back to Saskatoon on July 2nd drawing tourism to the City and Saskatchewan. For Saskatoon to be chosen as the 5K Foam Fest Saskatchewan location speaks volumes to its central location, tourism draw and amenities. Gearing up for 2016 race season, 5k FoamFest Canada will run its family-friendly foamy obstacle course at 11 Locations all across Canada including Windy Acres, home of the John Arcand Fiddle Fest, on Highway 60. With thousands of foamy fun-runners expecting to participate in Canada’s third season of 5k FoamFest events, 365 Sports Inc. is hyped to get the ball rolling on the season for participants (We sell smiles for a Family Focused Day of FUN). The 5k FoamFest Canada event takes a bouncy foamy-family twist to your typical mudrun where participants jump, slide and bounce their way through massive inflatable obstacles such as army crawls, colossal walls, foam and mud pits, cargo net climbs, a body washer, slip’n slides and even a towering 50 foot death drop. The 5K Foam Fest is expected to draw well over 3000 people just in Saskatoon alone, sourcing much of its needed equipment and supplies locally, creating tourism and economic spin offs. 5K Foam Fest Canada raises funds for Habitat for Humanity and the Canadian Cancer Society.

PIKE LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK
EAGLE CREEK REGIONAL PARK
Pike Lake Provincial Park is 20 minutes from Saskatoon and a million miles from the city. Pike Lake is a recreation park characterized by aspen, poplar and Manitoba maple groves; manicured lawns with two picnic areas close to the main beach; desert-like sand dunes a short hike away and a popular outdoor pool with a waterslide. Add to this a diverse array of plants and wildlife owing to its location on a flood plain of the South Saskatchewan River and you can see why Pike Lake Provincial Park offers a delightful change of pace for people wishing to recharge their batteries without having to travel for hours. Pike Lake is a shallow body of water that's called an "oxbow" - it's a loop of the South Saskatchewan River that became cut off from the main channel. A barrier-free trail that starts at the main beach and runs southward to the creek that feeds the lake includes observation decks that provide a good view of the aquatic life and waterfowl in the vicinity. A 1.5-km nature trail that begins at the interpretive centre, meanwhile, provides a fine opportunity to experience the surprisingly diverse ecosystems contained within this small park.
Eagle Creek Regional Park is located on the picturesque Eagle Creek, nestled down in a verdant valley of trees and foliage. The park is a jewel in the crown of the surrounding area, and offers year round fun for the whole family. The park has electrified and non-electrified sites, a church and a hall for weddings and anniversaries, a nine-hole golf course, a water spray park, playground equipment, a new washroom/shower house and a new floating dock for swimmers. Beach volleyball can also be enjoyed at the park. A riding arena is available where bull riding and trail rides have been held in the past. Plan to take in the Fish Derby or Jamboree in June.

everal motor vehicle accidents have occurred recently on Highway 7 that serve as an important reminder to our community about the risks we face while traveling our roads. Regardless of your own vehicle (whether brand new or 50 years old), your SGI plate provides basic coverage only with minimum legal requirements for liability insurance and basic injury benefits. In fact, SGI Auto Fund has not increased the plate provided liability limit of only $200,000 since 1985! Liability is when you're determined to be responsible for causing an accident, which results in property damage or injury to others. Liability means taking responsibility for your actions when you're to blame. You need to purchase an insurance "package policy" or automobile extension policy to protect your family and your finances. With an auto package policy you can increase your liability limits, enhance your injury benefits coverage, lower your deductibles, have coverage for rental vehicles, repair glass or stone chips and even replace a brand new vehicle without depreciation.
Regardless of No Fault insurance legislation in Saskatchewan, you can still be sued for an accident that is your fault in any province/country without No Fault legislation (such as Alberta), if you damage property such as hitting a building or a train, force a commercial truck off the highway, or if the other injured driver's lost income or medical costs were not fully covered by the basic plate injury insurance. For example, if you injure a highsalaried person in a collision and must pay to supplement their lost income. With an auto package policy, your family members are financially protected from injury and loss no matter what insurance the other driver has. For instance, if you are in an accident with a driver who is underinsured, intoxicated (has no insurance!) or simply forgot to renew their plates. Family Security, a part of your auto policy, protects you and the ones you love with benefit limits up to $2,000,000. Your policy also provides higher injury and death benefits including replacement income, education allowance and funeral expenses.
Mooney Agencies recommends a minimum $2,000,000 limit for Liability including Family Security, which typically costs under $5 per month (or $46 per year)! Note you may need higher liability limits if you travel outside Saskatchewan (such as Alberta, where automobile claims with injuries often result in higher settlements). If you operate a motor vehicle in the USA, we strongly recommend a minimum $5,000,000 liability limit. SGI Canada recently introduced a "Journey" option that you can add to your existing annual Auto Pak policy for those planning a vacation, which offers a 30 day coverage bundle including $5,000,000 liability and $2,000 loss of use limits (this solution is great for those renting a vehicle in USA). SGI Canada also offers a multi-vehicle discount if you insure more than one vehicle on the same Auto Pak policy. Contact Mooney Agencies to discuss an automobile policy tailored to your needs.

things into perfect condition, you may end up coming out ahead. If you spot a dozen projects, you may end up going broke trying to repair the place. Look for a fixer upper where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 4. The Dream Crusher If you are making a decision on buying your home based on what you think you can get out of it in the future, be very careful before you make the plunge. Ideally you think that you can purchase a home and make improvements and reap the benefits of the added value may give but some properties are more of a gamble than others so be very cautious. 5. The Weekend Stealer Does the home have a beautiful tropical garden? Large vegetable garden or swimming pool? Those features may look desirable now but do you really want to lose your weekends to maintaining your home? If you are realistic with the work that is needed and not up for the challenge, then move along. 6. The Doorbuster If you got a great deal, maybe being a REALTOR is in your future, or was it a good deal? Maybe you didn’t factor in location and that may cause big problems when you go to sell. Picking a location with good school districts and a fiscally sound municipality is the best advice. Even if

THE 6 WORST HOMES FOR FIRST-TIME BUYERS Deciding to look for your first home may be scary. What if the perfect place comes on the market next week? Am I choosing the right one? What if you end up hating the place in a year? Unfortunately it is not an easy formula and not an easy transaction. We can help you avoid a few of the biggest mistakes. Some homes just are not right for the first time homebuyer. Here are a few. 1.The Too Cozy Looking House If you do not have children now but they may be in your future. You may not plan on having children soon but those plans could change in the next 5-10 years and the small house could quickly become smaller. If you are married and plan on starting a family then do not buy a 2 bedroom home. If you plan on bunking kids together, once the second child comes you may run out of room. 2. The Bloater On the other hand you shouldn’t buy the biggest home you can qualify for as it may make sense in the future but could cause you to carry much more costs in the meantime. 3. The Money Pit It may be tempting to take on the fixer upper, after all you have watched many HGTV improvements shows but be careful you haven’t bitten off more than you can chew. If you only need to do a couple jobs that take a couple weekends to get

you don’t plan on ever having children, or care that your neighborhood is a little rough around the edges, future buyer’s might. Your great deal as a first time buyer may come back to haunt you as a firsttime seller.

he cabbage seedpod weevil is not a new pest to Saskatchewan; in fact, producers in the southwest have been dealing with it since 2000. In 2013 the cabbage seedpod weevil started the move north of the South Saskatchewan River and east into the traditional canola growing regions. Producers bordering this region should be on the lookout for this little pest early in the season.
easing private pasture land is a common arrangement in Saskatchewan. A detailed written lease agreement provides a legal document that sets out the terms of contract between the landlord and the tenant. Both parties should carefully examine the agreement and get legal advice to ensure the terms and conditions are acceptable and address all their concerns.
The cabbage seedpod weevil is small (3-4 mm), a purple-ish grey color, and has the typical weevil snout. Adults overwinter beneath leaf litter in shelterbelts and in ditches. Peak emergence will occur once soil temperatures reach 15°C. Cabbage seedpod weevils start feeding on early emerging Brassicaceous weeds. Adults invade canola, oriental and brown mustard crops in June when canola is budding until it reaches the early flowering stage. Yellow mustard is considered resistant. They feed on buds, pollen and nectar. Egg laying occurs soon after flowering when pods are small. The female will lay eggs inside the pods. Each female will lay up to 250 eggs, but usually only one egg per pod. Larvae feed on the seeds inside the pod and emerge once they are mature, create a small “bulletlike” hole in the pod, and drop to the ground to pupate. There is only one generation per year. These damaged pods are prone to premature shattering.
A cash rental is the most common agreement. The landlord is paid a fixed sum each year and the tenant in return receives full use of the land for the indicated purposes and all income produced from the pasture. The key inputs in the pasture rental agreement are the land and cattle, but there are normally other costs to consider such as fencing, taxes, and pasture rejuvenation. There may also be other revenues such as government payments. An effective lease agreement will determine in advance how all costs and income are to be treated.

Pasture Lease Agreements Provide Security
Start scouting for the cabbage seedpod weevil as the host crops begin to bud through flowering. This weevil is tough to spot just by looking at plants, as it drops to the ground and plays dead when it is disturbed, so using a sweep net is important. When sweeping for the weevils, sweep from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm when winds are calm and temperatures are above 20°C. Take ten 180° sweep net samples in ten spots throughout the field. The economic threshold is 3-4 adults per sweep or depending on commodity prices, 20 weevils/10 sweeps. If an insecticide treatment is warranted, spray when the crop is in 10-20% flower to reduce egg laying in new pods. Spray later in the day when pollinators and other beneficials are less active. For more information contact your nearest Regional Crops Specialist or the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.
The carrying capacity and stocking rates will impact the lease rate. Carrying capacity is the average number of grazing animals that can graze the forage yearafter-year without damaging the vegetation or soil. Stocking rate is the actual number of animals or animal units on the pasture for a specified period of time. Carrying capacity does not fluctuate yearly, while stocking rate does fluctuate due to the impact of weather on the amount of forage production. The number of grazing days should be stipulated in the lease agreement to prevent over-grazing and to ensure proper pasture rejuvenation. Regional Forage Specialists with the Ministry of Agriculture can provide more in-depth information on stocking rates, carrying capacity and pasture productivity. In addition to negotiating the lease rate, the landlord and tenant must also agree on who is responsible for fencing repairs and for surveillance of livestock, water supply and pasture condition. The landlord may want to establish restrictions on the use of pesticides where use of the land for activities other than grazing livestock exists. A leasing agreement should also address liability issues for both parties and provide flexibility of lease terms in the event of drought or adverse weather conditions. The parties involved may have differing assumptions on their roles and responsibilities if they are not clearly stated in the agreement. Lease rates can be negotiated based on a variety of methods. An example from lease rate calculations and sample pasture lease agreements is included in the publication Pasture Lease Agreement available on the Ministry of Agriculture website, or by contacting your local regional services office. Both parties and their estates are protected by a wellwritten agreement, which includes these considerations, as well as specifying the duration of the rental period and the termination conditions. For more information stop by or contact your local Regional Office or contact the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

MP REPORT Kelly Block, MP
T
he Minister of Democratic Institutions and the Government House Leader announced the next phase of the Liberal plan to change the way that all of us as citizens elect our federal representatives. This phase includes establishing a Special Parliamentary Committee that will travel across Canada throughout the summer to hear Canadian’s views on the future of our electoral system. The Committee is composed of six Liberal members, three Conservatives members, one NDP member, one Bloc Quebecois member, and one Green party member. However, the Bloc Quebecois and Green Party members will not have a vote in the committee and therefore no say in its recommendations. Once the cross Canada tour is completed the Committee will make recommendations to Cabinet on what they think Canada's electoral system should be going forward. Cabinet will have the final say on what gets put to a vote in the House of Commons. Since the Liberals have an outright majority on the committee it is hard to believe that any recommendation it makes will differ from the preferred outcome of the Prime Minister, which is a ranked ballot system. There are a number of electoral models to consider, each with its strengths and weaknesses. These include: 1) Proportional Representation: This model leads to the makeup of the House representing exactly the election result, but weakens the relationship between the MP and their constituents while leading to more parties and fractious governing coalitions. 2) Ranked ballot: This model reduces strategic voting and eliminates vote splitting but favours centrist parties over those that propose innovative policy ideas. This system also forces Canadians to choose a party they disagree with as a second choice on their ballot.
MLA REPORT
May 13, 2016 3)First past the post: This model leads to stable governing coalitions and the strongest link between an MP and their constituents, but it is quite common that a party can win the majority of the seats in Parliament with less than 40% of the popular vote. Interestingly and most frustrating in the present debate on electoral reform is that the Liberals are refusing to leave the first past the post system on the list of options up for consideration. Furthermore, they continue to state that they have a mandate from Canadians to change the electoral system despite the fact that they were elected with 39.5% of the popular vote and this was one of dozens of campaign issues. As many have pointed out, the Liberals are showing considerable hypocrisy by stating that the first past the post system is broken, yet are using their majority in Parliament that they won, with 39.5% of the vote, in October to change the way we vote. (Liberals won 54% of the seats in Parliament with 39.5% of the popular vote) I would note that the NDP, Greens, and Bloc Quebecois have asked that the makeup of the parliamentary committee on electoral reform be determined by each party's share of the popular vote and not by the share of seats in Parliament as is presently the case. To date, the Liberals have refused this request. Most importantly, the Liberals steadfastly refuse to commit to a referendum on electoral reform by making the implausible claim that it isn't needed because we wouldn't hear from women, young people, or aboriginals. The fact is a referendum gives EVERY Canadian, without exception, a say in the process. Going forward, the Conservative Party will continue to push to make the Liberals give you a vote on how we as Canadians elect our federal representatives because what was proposed this week will leave the future of our electoral system entirely in the hands of this Prime Minister and his cabinet.

promise to let post-secondary graduates use up to $10,000 of their Graduate Retention Program (GRP) credits towards the down payment on their first home, is a promise kept. The Government of Saskatchewan is now taking applications for the First Home Plan. The First Home Plan will help recent grads who have the income to qualify for a mortgage, but may be having challenges saving for a down payment. This plan is part of our commitment to make Saskatchewan the best place in Canada to go to school, find a job, buy a home and start a family. The plan will also help employers to recruit grads from inside and outside the province. First-time homebuyers and those who have not owned a home in the last five years may be eligible for the First Home Plan. Those who took possession of their home on or after May 1, 2016, are eligible for the program. To learn more, you can call Saskatchewan Housing Corporation at 306-787-4177 or toll-free at 1-800-6677567, or visit saskatchewan.ca/GRP. Provincial Parks Open for the Season Saskatchewan’s provincial parks are places where people go to make memories, enjoy recreational activities and connect with nature. Last year was a record year with nearly 3.9 million visits. With stunning natural features, fantastic amenities and quality programming, it’s no surprise that the popularity of our parks is growing. Many people made it a priority to visit a Saskatchewan Provincial Park this past weekend and, with another successful launch, we expect this will be another great camping season. There is still a lot of availability for anyone who may still want to book a campsite and there are several different ways to book; online at saskparks.goingtocamp.com, via the mobile site at skmobile.goingtocamp.com or through the Call Centre at 1-855-737-7275. In some cases, fire restrictions may be in place, prohibiting all open fires. Check http://www.saskparks.net/FireBan2016 for a complete list of all fire restrictions. New this year, campers will be able to make online reservations in seven provincial parks for dates after the Labour Day long weekend. The parks that are piloting fall camping reservations are: The Battlefords, Blackstrap, Cypress Hills, Danielson, Douglas, Narrow Hills and Rowan’s Ravine. Learn to Camp, a new program in 2015, will take place in three parks this year:
13
May 26, 2016 Echo Valley, Good Spirit Lake and Pike Lake. This guided program allows people who are new to nature the opportunity to experience camping in a provincial park. All camping equipment is provided and participants only need to bring their own food, clothes and bedding. Learn more at www.saskparks.net/LearnToCamp. Based on the success of Learn to Camp last year, a new program will pilot this summer: Learn to Fish. Details on this program, including dates and locations will be announced soon. The Government of Saskatchewan is investing more than $1.2 million into campsite electrical expansion and upgrades in three parks this year: Good Spirit Lake, Lac La Ronge and Meadow Lake. Nearly 300 campsites across these three parks will receive either new or improved electrical service. Total funding for the provincial parks system since 2007 is more than $200 million. This funding includes capital expenditures and investment, operational funding, and parks programming. I invite you to visit a provincial park this summer. Take time to make memories with your family and friends in a provincial park this year. Work Zone Safety Shouldn’t Take A Holiday Planning your visit to a provincial park should include a quick check at The Highway Hotline for the latest updates on construction, emergency road closures, the status of ferries, barges or other road activities. Nearly 270 kilometres of highway projects are currently underway across the province. Reducing your speed to 60 km/hr is most commonly associated with active work zones where workers are present but, at times, it is necessary to slow down because of hazards such as loose stones and sharp drop-offs. I encourage you to drive with caution, even in the absence of workers. Starting this year and over the next three years, our government will fix more highways through a $70 million surge in highway repair and maintenance. This is part of a new Highways 2020 Plan to invest $2.7 billion in highways and transportation capital over the next four years. Over the past eight years, our government has made record investments in highways and infrastructure, repairing and rebuilding over 10,000 kilometres of Saskatchewan roads. This is nearly 700 kilometres longer than the width of Canada from the east to west coasts.

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL
DELISLE COMPOSITE
t's the final home stretch here at Delisle composite. June is a time to celebrate the achievements we've made in this school year, we are having our annual education celebration night (formally known as color night) on June 15th at 7:00pm, here at Delisle Composite. There will be awards, displays, performances, student achievements and much more. Come out and celebrate with us. “Health promoting schools has had a busy month. First off we launched our video to promote HPS and to also explain our journey thus far. A huge thank you to Swade Orchard who wrote, directed and filmed the entire video. Special thanks to everyone who took part in the video, especially our stars, the Banana (Lauren Ryan) and Grapes (Eryn Kielo). We hope to attach the video to our website so that everyone will have an opportunity to watch it. Second we hosted a huge thank you lunch for the entire school. This was made possible by the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, the Saskatchewan Health Region and Ag in the classroom. We fed the entire school a pulse based lunch being that 2016 is the year of the pulse. We had lentil chili, and black bean brownies. It was delicious!! Thanks to The Robin's Nest for making such a great meal. Each student also received a bag of lentils and spices to make lentil tacos. Thirdly we were present at both the Conference and District Track meets to provide healthy snacks to our athletes. Thanks to Nicole Goldbeck (Health Nurse) and Debbie Zerbin for taking the time to make this possible. Last but not least we held a bake day to fill up our freezer with snacks for the remainder of the year. Thank you to Nicole Goldbeck, Linda Kielo, Debbie Zerbin, Tara Kormish, and Quinton Kormish. Thank you for taking the time to bake us some nutritious snacks. May was busy and, as we roll into June, we continue to be busy. June 3rd we are hosting a Fundraising BBQ at Delisle Co-op. “Hope to see everyone there.”- Mrs. Kielo. Our Life skills group here at DCS has been a big help in our community; in May they have done their spring school clean up, baking for HPS (Health Promoting School), and presented at Learning for Life (L4L) at the division office. DCS’s local track meet was held on May 6th with 99 students that moved on to conference. We were lucky to have 55 students move to districts on May 27th, we wish them good luck here at DCS. Congratulations to our 2016 graduating class. Grad is being held on Wednesday, June 29th @ 2:00pm in the Delisle Arena. Everyone is welcomed to attend. Upcoming dates: June 3rd, HPS BBQ at Delisle CO-OP; June 6th, Prairie Spirit East Band concert (combined performance of the East and West senior band students); June 8th, Prairie Spirit West Band Concert (also featuring combined senior performance), come out to Lakeview Church to watch either/both concerts; June 15th, Education Celebration (Color Night) at DCS; June 22nd, final day of regular classes; June 23rd-28th Final Exams (for exam schedule check our school website); June 29, Graduation at 2:00; June 30th, Progress reports pick up @ 10:00-11:30am.

e are approaching the last portion of our school year and activities have amped up as we skip hastily toward the end of June! May was a busy month with a lot getting accomplished! After cleaning up our school grounds in April, we took on the tasks of beautifying the playing area and the preliminary start of our outdoor learning area. We painted a variety of colorful hopscotch stencils onto our sidewalk areas that will also serve as teaching tools in a few of the curriculum subjects. Thanks to a number of volunteers, the area to the west of the school was tidied up and refurbished with new ground cover to ready for the next phase of our outdoor learning plans. Our wildflowers and garden box were planted with the promise of beautiful crops of colors and vegetables and these activities allowed for some great teaching and learning moments for those involved. We were just winding down our 30 x 30 Nature Challenge as this went to print, but if the rumours hold true, we will have had a successful challenge with even more participants than before! We hope to provide our results in the next issue. Staff and students recognized those parents and guardians who so willingly give us their time through a variety of means, both at home and in our school. The students provided some entertainment and humour to those individuals who were able to attend the Volunteer Appreciation Tea we hosted. The older students served tea and dainties in fine tea cups and learned the etiquette of doing so while they went about their tasks. It was an enjoyable afternoon that allowed some relaxation and pampering to those folks who give so much to our school. We also excitedly welcomed some energetic girls and boys to our new Kindergarten orientation and they have shown us that they are certainly ready to learn! Our thanks is extended to Vanscoy School for inviting us to their rendition of Lion King which was very well performed by the students! Our students were engaged the whole time and we appreciate the opportunity to provide support for the actors and actresses involved! Great work everyone! We have some great news regarding child care in our community. Lana Froese is a mom in the Pike Lake community who is opening up a before and after school care while school is in session throughout the year. She will be available in the morning until the school bus arrives at her home and again when the school bus arrives after school. (There will not be care provided during school holidays, summer holidays or for all day care as well.) As we are well aware, this is a wonderful service to have available for parents! If you are interested in having your child cared for in a family home, please contact Lana Froese @ 306-477-3337 to arrange an interview to meet your child and discuss the details of care. (Please leave a message if there is no answer) Of course, there is still more to do at school and it will be a fast month of academic learning and practical play before we close the doors in June. We invite you to come down and see how our school yard has transformed and perhaps challenge your student to an oldfashioned game of hopscotch! Have a most sensational summer outside enjoying family fun, relaxing reading and terrific travels! See you in September!
