Sandyridge Bakery & Cafe Celebrates 10th Anniversary
T
his is a year for special anniversaries and changes for Sandyridge Bakery & Cafe in Grandora. It has been ten years since Jack and Lorie Totter became the owners of Sandyridge. During these ten years they have done many renovations and made many changes. Unfortunately, in 2009 the improvements they had been making were destroyed by a fire, so they began again with three major renovations which added 1,500 sq ft of additional retail space, additional mailboxes, a new kitchen and upgraded equipment and a new exterior for the store. They also added a second fuel tank and four additional pumps and now offer gas, diesel and premium fuel. They also changed to the DOMO brand. “We love
that Domo is a family owned business and understand the challenges of being a small business owner” says Totter, “they are always supportive and help their dealers in any way they can. Now that we are a Domo station we offer a discount on fuel Tuesdays and Saturdays of 3 cents per litre”. From the kitchen they offer fresh baked bread and buns made daily. All of their sandwiches and subs are made on buns baked right there in the store. As well, they have very popular breakfast sandwiches, fresh homemade soup, pizza plus convenient ‘Grab n Go’ meals that are prepared in store and can be warmed up at home allowing customers to have homemade meals on the go.
There is always a large selection of frozen homemade soups that can be warmed at home as well. And for a special treat they have soft ice cream to cool you off on a hot summer day. The Sandyridge Bakery & Cafe carries a wide selection of groceries, convenience items, magazines, fresh food options, lottery, tobacco and offer a propane cylinder exchange service plus Canada Post services and mailboxes. They also carry Traeger BBQ equipment and supplies, and are giving one away for their 10th anniversary. The store hours are very convenient. They open early at 6:30am Monday to
Friday and 7:30am on the weekends and holidays and they don’t close until 9:30pm during the summer and 9:00pm during the winter. “It has been a very busy and rewarding ten years” says Lorie, “and on July 2nd we are celebrating with an anniversary BBQ. We have hotdogs and hamburgers for only $3 each and kids get one free”. All proceeds go to a local fundraiser and someone can win a Traeger smoker grill. The anniversary BBQ takes place from 1:00pm to 5:00pm on Saturday, July 2nd. The draw for Traeger Smoker Grill will be held at 4:00pm that day too. Stop in and join the celebration !

EDITORIAL Father’s ‘Day’.... How about a Month ?
I
think it’s time we took a look at Father’s Day. I know Mother’s only get one day a year (and should really get every day of the year) and many well deserving organizations get a week of recognition. Some even get a month, like Brian Tumour Awareness (see letter below), but as I look ahead to Father’s Day I see that one day of respect and support is just not gonna cut it this year. I know I can look forward to some attention on June 18th, like a nice brunch, maybe a round of golf in the afternoon, or a steak BBQ and nice frosty beer later in the day... but it’s the remaining days in June that cause me some concern.
You see, my one selfish mission this June is to do a lot of fishing. I have already made arrangements to make a few trips up to the lake where my buddy will be reeling them in all month. But this is easier said than done ! It seems that I have to sand and restain a tremendous amount of decks at home this month. The lawn is growing faster than I can drive the mower and two fish ponds still need setting up. The camper needs some annual maintenance again, and every car we own is in need of washing and cleaning inside and out. This is all surely going affect my fishing mission in a negative way.
I am willing to trade off any special neck ties or humorous coffee mugs, or any sort of recognition at all on this Father’s Day, in exchange for a month of hard labour ! If anyone knows how to convince a 17 year old boy (gripped by the lure of spring, and nowhere to be found most days) that his dad is still the most important and smartest person in the world and that nothing says ‘summer fun’ like yard work at home... please call my son. I will bring you back some fish ! Happy Father’s Day ! Ken Sowter - Editor Be Sure to Enter our STAY-Cation Contest
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I’m writing today to raise awareness about brain tumours in our community. My name is Heather Poirier and I’m the volunteer walk co-ordinator for our Saskatoon Brain Tumour Walk. I’m also a survivor of a childhood brain tumour. Due to the symptoms reflecting other illnesses as well as the lack of awareness around pediatric brain tumours, it took a while before I was diagnosed and by that time I would have had a month to live if it had not been discovered. I was one of the lucky ones. Nearly 20 years later, I live a healthy life with my family outside of Asquith and can work with others in furthering our research and support for the brain tumour community. We are not alone. May is Brain Tumour Awareness month and during this month alone, 837 Canadians will hear the words “you have a brain tumour”. And they will add their voice to the 55,000 survivors across this country
desperate for an increase in awareness of this little-known disease.
But even more importantly, every one of these people need understanding of the extreme impact of a brain tumour. They are silent and sneaky thieves stealing personalities, livelihoods, abilities, and ultimately, far to often, lives.
The Delisle Ag Co-op is accepting proposals for a 24’ x 32’ Storage Building For details contact... Darin Sekulich at 306-493-2212
I urge all readers to become aware of the symptoms of brain tumours and support their family/friends affected by the disease. We are also actively looking for volunteers in Saskatchewan for fundraising and our annual walk in Saskatoon. Sincerely, Heather Poirier Survivor of a non-malignant brain tumour since 1998. Saskatoon Brain Tumour Walk is June 4th at Archibald Arena. You can sign up at www.Braintumour.ca

Delisle Riding Club Hosting Vanscoy Light Horse Show and Gymkhana
T
he Delisle Riding Club is proud to be the new host of the Vanscoy Light Horse Show and Gymkhana. In past years, the horse show has been run by the Vanscoy and District Agricultural Society in conjunction with the Vanscoy Agricultural Fair. However, with the Vanscoy fair now merging with the Summer Fest event to be held in Delisle on July 29 and 30, the horse show will run in August as per usual, and will be hosted by the Delisle Riding Club with an honorarium from the Vanscoy and District Agricultural Society. The Delisle Riding Club is affiliated with the Saskatchewan Riding Club Association. Our family orientated club is proud to promote grassroots in horsemanship and good sportsmanship in our children. The Delisle Club generally meets alternating weeks, with a focus on western show and gymkhana events and is open to all ages. This year, the Vanscoy Light Horse Show and Gymkhana will be combined into one day, which is to be held on Saturday, August 19, 2017. It will be located, as always, at the Vanscoy outdoor riding arena, with an indoor facility available in the event of poor weather. It will be featuring 33 show classes,
both English and Western disciplines, as well as 20 gymkhana classes. The show is open to all ages, with designated 8 and under classes, to promote our up and coming riders. The show is part of the Saskatchewan Horse Federation Heritage circuit and therefore allows for point accumulation. The Heritage Circuit is a provincial competition program with the purpose of generating and maintaining participation in General Performance across Saskatchewan by supporting clubs. The Saskatchewan Horse Federation ensures that riders of all ages, recreational or competitive, have the opportunity to learn to compete. A Negative coggins test is NOT required to enter into the horse show. As in previous years, Carol Weiler, remains the secretary and contact for the show, along with the help from members of the Delisle riding club. Class lists, schedule and prizes will be available via the Vanscoy Agricultural Fair catalogue or by contacting Carol Weiler at cweiler@xplornet.com.

Delisle Student is Runner Up for Video on Climate Change WASHINGTON, DC – Kate Wright received the Runner Up prize of $250 for her video on climate change. The 7th grade student submitted her video to the “World of 7 Billion” international student video contest sponsored by Population Connection. Kirk Schlosser, Kate’s science teacher, used the contest as an assignment in his class. Kate took it a step further and submitted her video to the contest. Her video, Rising Sea Levels, highlights how rapid climate change has caused sea levels to rise at its fastest rate in 3,000 years. According to Kate, her family makes a conscious effort to leave a small mark on the environment, and instilled in her their respect for the natural world. Although Kate had learned stop motion animation in the 5th grade, this was her first time creating a video with the technique.
Kate lives on a farm with her family, her dog and two cats where they grow cereal crops. In her spare time, she loves music and plays the violin and the euphonium. In the future, Kate said that she may want to pursue a career in environmental science. Nineteen films from five countries earned the top spots in the “World of 7 Billion” video contest this year. The competition included nearly 3,000 video submissions from middle and high school students from 45 countries and 48 U.S. States and territories. The videos explored population growth as it relates to rapid urbanization, ocean health, or climate change and offered at least one idea for a sustainable solution. Winners received cash prizes and their work will be displayed online all year. For more information on the “World of 7 Billion” contest, visit www.worldof7billion.org

Trump, Trump, Trump
hesitate to write about Trump again, but he fills the news. He is up to his ears in the Russian investigation, topped off by the firing of Comey. As an icing on the cake he announced the ninety day period before NAFTA negotiations commence. The pile of problems is trailing him on an overseas junket. His first action was to sign a $300 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia. We await his meeting with the G7 Nations.

The NAFTA negotiations are critical for Canada. Trudeau is showing signs of playing rough, using Canada’s advantage to offset the US moves. Trump has emerged as the trouble-maker for the entire Western world; a mistake by the US electorate. It was a disastrous error to give the position of President to one so ill equipped for the task. Opinions expressed are those of author.

Delisle & District Fire Department Chili Cook-off at Summer Fest 2017
T
he Delisle and District Volunteer Fire Department is launching what we hope will become an annual event – a Chili Cook-Off – and we’d like you to participate! Too often the people in the communities we serve meet and interact with us only under the most trying of circumstances. With our inaugural Chili Cook-Off we hope to create an opportunity to meet with the people in our community in a decidedly more festive and relaxing environment. And what better way to do that than over a good meal. Bring a crock pot (or two!) of your finest chili and put it out there for the people to decide. The cost to enter is $50 per recipe
of approximately one - 5 quart crock pot, and are welcome to submit more than one. Money from the entry fees and chili sales will be used to cover the expenses of providing necessary items such as bowls, cutlery, buns and napkins. Any profits generated will be used by the Delisle and District Fire Department to purchase needed equipment and supplies. Guests will have the opportunity to sample each chili before casting their ballot for the one they wish to enjoy as a meal. The chili receiving the most ballots will be deemed the winner. Cost per plate is $5. Hamburgers and hot dogs will also be available. The Chili Cook-Off will
run from 5 to 6 PM at the Delisle Town Hall on Saturday, July 29th. Burgers and hot dogs will be available between 4 and 7 PM. To register your team, or if you have any questions, please contact Mike Given, Delisle and District Fire Department chief, at 306-493-7777. Members of the winning team will receive a modest prize, such as t-shirts or ball caps. Participating groups are welcome to sell their own merchandise, raffle tickets, etc. from the table where they are serving their chili. Registration deadline is July 15, 2017. Mike Given, Chief Delisle and District Volunteer Fire Department
Gardening Tips Mulching Beats Weeding You would think that someone who grew up on the prairies would know all about mulching. After all, those mounds of maple and poplar leaves that decorate the lawn at the end of summer should have given me a clue. I don’t know why I didn’t ask someone if leaves could be put to good use to improve the soil. Oh, I spread them over strawberry beds and mounded them at the bases of my young haaskap trees, but my purpose was to protect those plants and shrubs from the minus forty winters that randomly inflict themselves on Saskatchewan anytime after the first of November. In the spring, I would sweep the leaves away, thinking they had served their purpose. But mulching does improve the soil by conserving moisture, drastically slowing down weed growth, and allowing the soil to be enriched by the multitude of subsoil dwellers that constantly turn over the soil underneath it. This I learned at one of the wonderful gardening classes offered by the University of Saskatchewan Department of Horticulture this spring. I highly recommend them to everyone, they are informative and fun. I did some mulching accidentally last year. As usual, the fall before I heaped leaves around my haaskap bushes but in the spring, for some reason, I neglected to rake it out as I usually did. I noticed that weeding was minimal all spring and summer, and the hard to ever keep down dandelions that poked
through had such a hard journey that they did not root well and were easily hoed out, and the mulch raked back in place. So already this year I am half convinced I should try mulching as much as possible. In my flower bed, I have cut off last year’s flowers at the base, leaving the root in the ground, raked the area and applied about an inch of compost. On top of that I placed a four to five-inch layer of mulch: Leaves, pine cones and pine needles. Very soon (May 24 this writing) I will pull back the mulch in areas where I want to transplant my flowers, digging a hole in the earth (not cultivating) and popping them in and bringing the mulch back around them. It’s my first experiment and I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I do have a few flowers in a window box and in a large container. They are planted already and for them I have gathered pine cones and snugged them up around the plants and all the bare earth around my plantings. And there’s a bonus: My cats can’t find the bare earth they are looking for and they don’t like the feel of those prickly pine cones on their tender little feet. I watered the heck out of the mulch wherever I placed it, and now I am hoping spring rains will do their magic. I am envisioning a summer with little weeding and lots of happy plants.

Council approved and accepted the 2017 operating budget as presented with an anticipated budgeted surplus of $2,208.00.

Agricultural Safety and the Vanscoy & District Ag Society
pring is here, grass is growing and farm units are rolling. Safety cannot be overlooked during this busy time of year. Curiosity, size and lack of knowledge and training can put children at greater injury risk than adults on the farm, on the acreage, in the home or even at school! For this reason we have geared the safety day on Sept. 19, 2017 to school aged children in Grades 3 & 4. Some statistics are shown below and for this reason please encourage your principal, teachers and school board to support the Vanscoy & District Agricultural Society’s safety day.
Agriculture is one of Saskatchewan’s largest and most hazardous industries. Incidents occur more often between seeding and harvest, and can cause needless suffering and consequently reduce farm revenues. On average, 13 people are killed on Saskatchewan farms each year. Of these fatal injuries, 75% involve machinery such as grain trucks, semis, tractors and combines. Most incidents occur in the farm yard and of all serious injuries that happen, 14% involve youth. (Statistics provided by the Saskatchewan Farm Injury Surveillance Program at the University of Saskatchewan)
FARM INJURY/FATALITY STATISTICS IN CANADA 4Agriculture ranks as Canada’s third most hazardous industry 4 In terms of absolute numbers of fatalities, there is no more dangerous occupation 4 There were 1769 agricultural fatalities in Canada from 1990-2005 4 Agricultural machines were involved in 70.9% of fatalities 4 Of those fatally injured as a result of agricultural work, 91.6% were male 4 For children aged 14 and under the following were the most predominant causes of farm-related fatalities: - Machine runovers 41.9% - Drownings 15.2 % - Machine rollovers 11.1% - Animal-related 6.5% - Crushed under an object 5.1%
If you have a child in Asquith, Delisle or Perdue, please discuss their attendance with the teacher or principal. Vanscoy and Pike Lake have already given us their support and we thank them. We would like every school mentioned to provide this opportunity to their students; it is an extremely valuable educational opportunity with no expense to the parent(s) or school. The Progressive Agriculture Foundation® governs and secures funding solely for the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® program. The Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program is the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America. Please visit https://www.progressiveag.org/ for more information. If you wish to volunteer to help us on this day in September or have questions please call 306-493-2428 or email vanscoyag@gmail.com
Farm safety is a choice – not an act of fate. Many injury incidents are preventable! Statistics can be found at: www.abfarmsafety.com/resources/statistics

‘STAY-cation’ Camping 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 1.5km 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 nonelectrified 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.

‘STAY-cation’ Reading LOVE ON RUSSIAN STEPPE AND SASKATCHEWAN PRAIRIE By Elma (Martens) Schemenauer In 1906 Jacob Martens was 34 and still single. This was unusual among Mennonites in Russia. An earnest Christian, Jacob may have prayed for a wife. Or he may not have. His relatives and friends wouldn't necessarily know since he was a quiet man, preferring to let his guitar speak for him. Another Jacob in the same village, the lively and talkative Jacob Siemens, loved guitar music. Wanting his 17 year old daughter Agatha to play, he hired Jacob Martens to teach her. The lessons went well. Agatha learned quickly. But after a few months her teacher shocked her by saying, "Agatha, you're just the kind of girl I'd like to marry." "I can't get married," she blurted. "I'm only 17." Jacob gave her a quiet smile. "I'll wait for you." He waited two years. He and Agatha were married in 1908. He was 36 and she was 19. Their first child, another Jacob, was born a year later. Agatha, overwhelmed with caring for the baby, asked her mother to take him for a while. "No," her mother said, "that's your baby. You have to look after him." Despite feeling rushed into growing up, Agatha eventually settled into life as a wife and mother. In 1926 she and Jacob and their five children emigrated to Saskatchewan. At first they lived in the Herbert area with her sister Katharina and husband, Jacob Enns. Then they moved north to the Lawson area. From Lawson they relocated to the Elbow-Loreburn area (halfway between Saskatoon and Regina). There they eventually became my grandparents. As I was growing up in our little Mennonite community near Elbow and Loreburn, I heard many stories from these grandparents and other Mennonite relatives. Such stories along with my own childhood experiences inspired my 1940s-era Mennonite novel Consider the Sunflowers. As the story opens, it's 1940 and Tina Janz will do almost anything to marry the guitar-playing half-Gypsy Frank
THE HUDDLE
Warkentin, even defy her pious Mennonite parents. Unfortunately Frank doesn't seem likely to propose on his own. Summoning all her courage, Tina leaves her job in Vancouver and launches a daring campaign to get him to the altar. She and Frank walk the aisle one sunny afternoon in August, but Tina soon feels as blue as the wallpaper in her kitchen. She finds life bleak and lonely on Frank's farm in the prairie community of Coyote (based on the Elbow-Loreburn area). Tina tries to ease her isolation by socializing with local Mennonites, but Frank shuns them because some of them scorn his mixed parentage. Forced to choose between her Mennonite heritage and her husband, she feels her faith slipping away. Then tragedy strikes. Tina becomes angry with God and abandons her Mennonite faith. Frank, discouraged about the marriage he never fully committed to, hires a neighbour to work the farm and leaves for a mining job in Montana. Is there any hope for Tina and Frank's relationship? What happens when she rediscovers feelings for a former Vancouver boyfriend? Consider the Sunflowers is a story of love longed for, found, disappointed, and ultimately transformed.

Liberal’s Limiting Canadian Resource Development
ince coming into office, the Liberals have taken deliberate measures to phase out the oil sands. Recently the Liberals introduced Bill C-48: The Oil Tanker moratorium and on Wednesday the National Energy Board (NEB) review panel, appointed by the Government, released its report. Combined, these measures reduce the locations where a pipeline can be built and increases the amount of red tape a project proponent will have to overcome before being granted approval. The proposed moratorium would be in effect from the Canada/U.S Alaska border to the Northern tip of Vancouver Island. This legislation will pro-
hibit oil tankers carrying crude and persistent oils as cargo from stopping, loading, and unloading at ports or marine installations in the moratorium area. Vessels carrying less than 12,500 metric tonnes of crude oil would be exempted from the moratorium. With these conditions, the only sector that could be negatively impacted will be the oil sands. This legislation will force future governments to pass legislation to repeal this law before they would be able to approve the construction of a pipeline ending in the Prince Rupert/Kitimat area, thus making the construction of a new pipeline to BC’s coast more difficult to get built.
The National Energy Board review panel also released its report this week. Among the more contentious recommendations is the alignment of NEB activities to national policy goals. This is problematic. If the policy goal of this Liberal government is to phase out the oil sands, then it could be expected that the NEB’s decisions on future pipeline decisions would be at the very least influenced by the over-arching Liberal vision for the oil sands. The report also recommends that the NEB headquarters be moved from Calgary to Ottawa. Removing the NEB from the expertise in Western Canada to move it to Ottawa makes no sense.
Ultimately, diversifying Canada’s export markets for oil and gas is critical to support the continued growth of Canada`s economy. Demand for Canadian oil is strongest in the rapidly growing markets of the Asia-Pacific region so if a secure pipeline to BC’s North Coast can be built, then it should be allowed to proceed.
.( / / < %/ 2&.#3$5/ *& &$ ::: .( / / < %/ 2&.03 &$
Unfortunately, the Liberals remain intent to make it as difficult as possible to get Western Canadian oil to market without producers absorbing a steep discount due to a lack of export pipelines and locations.
SCHOOL REPORTS
I
PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL
t's hard to believe another school year is almost over! As I write this, graduation day is only one month away and the classes have already been practicing their grad songs. By June 22nd, they should know all the words. The 4-year olds started a new unit on animals. So far, they have made farm animals (a cow, chicken, and pig) and ocean animals (different coloured jellyfish). We will finish up animals with forest (possibly a bear, porcupine, skunk, or bird), and zoo (maybe lions, tigers, or elephants). Both classes made Mother's Day gifts for their moms, explored the colour purple with toilet paper roll grapes, footprint unicorns, and a few purple snacks, and learned about the number 9. We will finish up the month making bubbles with the 3year olds and planting grass seed in eggshells with the 4-year olds. In June, besides practicing for graduation day, we will learn about the number 10 and the colour
O
blue, maybe making something blue for Father's Day. Graduation is June 22nd at 10am in the hall downstairs. It is a bittersweet time as the 4-year olds move onto Kindergarten, but a break in the summer is always welcome (and needed) Thank you to all who supported the preschool this year, from those who bought at the Christmas Craft Fair to those who clear the snow and clean the hall to Pike Lake School who always lets us borrow their toys and play areas. A big thank you also goes to all the parents for helping to keep the preschool open by bringing your kids here and for all your help throughout the year with helper parent days, supplying snacks on special days, and helping out with the different committees. The preschool cannot run without all this help so from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much! Have a safe and happy summer.
PIKE LAKE SCHOOL
ur year end is picking up speed as we round the corner on the final lap before summer holidays begin! We have partaken in a lot of activities with more to come! It is an exciting time for students and staff as we near the finish line! Over this last busy month, we welcomed our new Kindergarten students and parents to the school, we acknowledged and thanked our volunteers in an afternoon. We planted vegetables and flowers as well as transplanted our tomatoes that we grew from the seeds from outer space. (aka the Space Station). We helped keep our environment clean by collecting and recycling plastic bags and have expanded our time out in nature with the 30 X 30 challenge! We are looking forward to the upcoming Try-A-Thon on June 15th at Pike Lake Provincial Park! We invite you to come out and cheer us on as we challenge our bodies to be their best in the swimming, running and cycling courses! During May, we once again received eggs from the University of Saskatchewan and watched as they successfully hatched into chicks. The students named the eggs and wondered who would hatch first! With the aid of a 24 hour camera, students were able to recall data and observe while each of the eggs cracked and opened. Our learners watched as the hatchlings went from weak and wet fledglings to fluffy chirping chicks! Once the chicks were strong enough, we sent them home with Farmer Ken to take care of them for their life duration. We also adopted 10 painted lady caterpillars and watched their transformation from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. We fed and cared for these butterflies until we released them into the wild. Having the ability to partake in these two responsibilities was a great illustration of two different life cycles, which in turn prompted curious inquiry from the students. Students’ interests were substantially piqued and allowed a gateway to open to learning that could not be taught as successfully from a book. At the end of June we will be saying our farewells to our Grade Four students who will transition to Delisle Elementary School. We know they are ready to take on new learning and leadership roles in their new school. We will also be sending our bittersweet well

Diana will be returning from her maternity leave in January to begin her new role as Principal in Delisle Elementary School. We know she will have great success as she begins to initiate the same acclaimed programming that she had launched here in Pike Lake. She will of course have some familiar faces and leaders working with her as she begins her new journey! June will not be all sadness! We will be enjoying our traditional year end swim for the Grades 1-4 students and have added mini-golf to the day’s activities. We welcome Tara Mayor as our acting principal for the month of June! Mrs. Mayor comes to us from Willow Park and will stay with us to the end of the year. She will then begin her new role as Principal in the Eagle Creek Colony School. Commencing in the fall we will have Corinne Dutka take on the administrative role for our school. Corinne is currently the acting Vice Principal at Warman Elementary School and is excited to join our school family in August. Corinne has had previous interactions with our school in years past and is so excited to continue with our new programming in the fall! Wishing one and all a great summer of warmth and sunshine spent with family and friends! Safe travels as you head out on your adventures and we look forward to hearing about your stories and the memories made when we meet up again! Happiest Summertime!

May 19, 2017 (OTTAWA) - Grain Growers of Canada, the national voice of grain farmers, was pleased to see the May 16 introduction of Bill C-49, the Transportation Modernization Act. The Bill contains many of the proposals long advocated by the grain industry to correct imbalances and improve the reliability of the grain freight rail system. “It is clear that farmer voices have been heard,” said Jeff Nielsen, GGC President. “Grain farmers have been vocal throughout the consultation that we need increased competitiveness and reliability in grain shipping. Many of the proposed legislative changes in the Act will go a long way to providing long-term remedies to inherent problems with the current system.” Positive measures in the Bill include: · Reciprocal financial penalties in arbitrated service level agreements and a clear definition of “adequate and suitable service”; · The maintenance of the Maximum Revenue Entitlement (MRE) with adjustment factors to allocate investments by railway; · Greater transparency in data sharing and more powers for the Canada Transportation Agency to collect data on grain movements, allowing them to intervene pro-actively in the event of system failure; and · Renewal of the Crop Logistics Working Group (CLWG).
Uncertainty and questions remain with regards to the proposed “long-haul” interswitching provision. Unlike the current 160 km extended interswitching option, which sunsets on Aug. 1, 2017, there are conditions within the new provision which make the utility for grain shipping unclear. Nielsen met with Transport Minister Marc Garneau Thursday in Edmonton and expressed these concerns to the Minister directly. Since it was put in place in 2014, extended interswitching, or the ability for shipments to be transferred to another rail line to receive a more competitive rate and/or improved service, has proven to be a valuable tool in negotiating better terms and conditions for the shipment of grain by rail. “Minister Garneau stated that with the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act provisions sunsetting August 1 and Bill C-49 not likely to receive Royal Assent until well into the new crop year, Transport Canada will be closely monitoring grain movement to ensure our crops get to export position efficiently,” continued Nielsen. “That being said, GGC is still seeking an extension of the current legislation, especially with regards to interswitching, until the new Act comes into effect.” GGC appreciates the work done so far and will be working closely with both Ministers Garneau and MacAulay as well as Members of Parliament, to see the Transportation Modernization Act move smoothly through the legislative process.

INTRODUCING COURTNEY KLAPWIJK
ourtney Klapwijk is proud to be back in the community where he grew up!
After 10 years in Edmonton working at Martin Motor Sports selling BRP (Skidoo, Seadoo, Canam and Spyder) an opportunity to move back to Saskatchewan and work with his brother Landry and sister-in-law Stephanie presented itself. Courtney moved back with his fiancée, Catherine Lunn, in February and is living in Delisle. He’s excited to visit with old friends, share prairie sunsets with his fiancée, take on the challenge of learning insurance and working with family!
Courtney and Catherine are getting married in August and are looking forward to raising a family in the community. They are both part of the Vanscoy Community Playground Committee fundraising team and are happy to have a chance to get involved with a project that will improve the very playground he used to enjoy at recess over 30 years ago. Another benefit of returning to the area is being back in Rider country! Eskimo fans can be difficult to work with, especially when your team takes most of their coaching staff! Courtney would like to invite everyone to stop by Mooney Agencies in Vanscoy to say hello as he starts his insurance journey.
Mooney Agencies is an independent insurance broker, working for you rather than an insurance company or financial institution. We will properly assess your general insurance needs, shop for the best value in coverage and help you in the event of a claim.

We are available to meet at your home, acreage, farm or business by appointment.

COMMUNITY REPORTS W
Pike Lake Community and School Association Report
e are enjoying a nice spring so far (well except for the wind and the worms). We have had some comfortable temperatures, and just enough rain to green up things, while not causing too much delay with farm seeding. PLCSA’s main activity for the month of May and which will continue to be until June 14th is Soccer. Our four teams in the Sask Central Soccer League (SCSL) are enjoying a fun and learning year from our four popular and excellent coaches, - Jill Nelson, Elise Henderson, Peter Morris, and Phil Loveless. A huge plus for both our soccer and community is that on June 3rd, Pike Lake hosts the 2017 SCSL tournament. This will be a great community event when we welcome 300+ youth soccer players, along with their coaches,
managers and parents. We look forward to a great day of soccer and everyone’s participation. An additional ambition has been added to the PLCSA ‘plate’, that of redecorating the main hall, which appears to be overdue. While doing this redecorate the PLCSA is also investigating ways to improve our hall acoustics. The plan is to get this completed over a couple of days in July. PLCSA welcomes both your input and any help you can provide. PLCSA continues to pursue another advertising incentive for our area. We are asking businesses and groups to consider advertising around our soccer field via banners. We have had some interest shown for this and PLCSA expects to have some banners up by the soccer tournament. Please note the item in this newsletter.
The R.M. of Vanscoy, and in particular James Harvey, through a great deal of effort and persistent pushing have resolved two major concerns for our community and surrounding area. First, we have a New Firetruck, and it along with their recent acquisition of the ATV Unit are in position to offer excellent fire service to our area. These units will be on display at the soccer tournament. Second, they have accomplished the arduous task of bringing the two First Responder groups together. We are now assured of superb First Responder assistance should we have need of them. Finally there are a couple of dates to keep in mind. Sunday, June 4th is the date for the wonderful Custom Car Show at the Pike Lake Prov. Park. Then on July 1st, again at the provincial park,
Vanscoy Community Playground Committee Report
T
he Vanscoy Community Playground Committee (VCPC) was formed in September 2016 to address the need for a safe and wheelchair accessible playground in Vanscoy. Committee members include parents and representatives from Vanscoy School, Vanscoy School Community Council, local businesses and the Village of Vanscoy. Our goal is to raise $100,000 for a totally accessible playground to be located at Vanscoy School on the Grade 5-8 side of the playground. To date approximately $25,000 has been raised through various donations. The committee has applied for grants and we are cur-
rently seeking additional donations. Charitable tax receipts can be issued through the Village of Vanscoy. A Family Fun Day will be held on June 17th in Vanscoy to raise funds and to increase awareness for the playground project. There will be fun activities including face painting, a bouncy house and a car wash. There will also be food – our menu will include pizza, cookies, cupcakes, coffee and drinks! All proceeds from the Family Fun Day will support the new playground. We are hoping to have a great turnout as our event will coincide with the Vanscoy Community Garage Sales happening around town
that day. The VCPC is excited to share our vision for an accessible playground with the Vanscoy community as well as the surrounding communities. Watch for our new fundraising sign that will be unveiled at the Family Fun Day. Thanks to our sponsors that are making this event possible. For more information, to make a donation or to join our volunteer team please email Kara at jkhermanson@hotmail.com. To follow our progress and stay up-to-date with VCPC activities please join the Vanscoy Playground group on Facebook. www.facebook.com/vansc oyplayground
