n the 20 years that Canada has been involved in Wheelchair Fencing, Ryan Rousell, at only 20 years of age, is the 1st Canadian to ever win a World Cup Gold Medal. He beat French fencers Serge Robin 15-11 in the top 16s, Robert Citerne 15-6 in quarter final and El Assine15-13 in semi final, to go on destroying the Japanese Shintaro Kano 15-4 in the Gold Medal Match at the Montreal World Cup on April 29th 2018.
Asquith 20-year-old Makes Canadian Sports History
Ryan has been training since he was 7 years old at the Asquith Garde Fencing Club, with saber coach Douglas Brecht. Ryan first started fencing because beating on others with a sword sounded pretty awesome to him. Since then he has been following his dream and continues to train at the Asquith Club which is now in it’s 26th year of existence. Even though he has Cerebral Palsy, Ryan was determined that could fence standing against able bodied fencers, and medal, on provincial circuit, and he has done just that. Coach Brecht founded of the Saskatchewan Wheelchair Fencing association 4 years ago. For years he has tried to convince Rousell to sit and fence in wheelchair… not cool to then teenaged boy. With help of John Brunning from Saskatoon, Doug Brecht introduced wheelchair fencing to the provincial circuit of tournaments. Ryan finally started wheelchair fencing in November of 2016, participating in the provincial tournament in Saskatoon. Since he was the only fencer who actually qualified as a wheelchair athlete, top provincial able-bodied fencers sat in chairs to help him train. Meeting Canadian Team Paralympian wheelchair fencer Sylvie Morel, at 2017 Saskatchewan Provincial Fencing Championships, in March of 2017, inspired Ryan to finally give it his best. Working on the family farm near Asquith, Ryan has had to take a break from Computer Systems Technology Program to be able to train and travel to national and international fencing tournaments.

New Scoreboard In Delisle
Coach Jordan Smith, former member of Canadian National Fencing team, started working with Ryan training him in Épée. This combined with Coach Brecht’s Saber training transformed Ryan into a double-threat. In 2017, Ryan travelled to his first World Cup in Standnskaal, Netherlands and then to the Warsaw Senior World Cup and Junior World Championships. Success ! He earned Canada's First Ever Medal at a Wheelchair World Championships when he won the Bronze Medal at the U23 Junior World Championships. Preparing for 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo, Japan, athlete Ryan Rousell and coach Doug Brecht were awarded the Petro-Canada FACE program sponsorship. Only 55 Canadian coach-athlete pairs received this Olympic-preparatory sponsorship throughout Canada. Ryan has since travelled to the World Championships in Rome, Italy, and to the World Cup in Eger, Hungary. His has won gold and silver medals at the Canada Cup in Quebec City in January in saber and épée. Next stop: Warsaw in July 2018, again for the Senior World Cup and U23 World Championships. This time, thanks to Petro-Canada, coach Douglas Brecht will accompany him as coach, and as a fellow wheelchair athlete in Wheelchair Foil. The Montreal Gold Medal was the crowning achievement after a year of hard work, sacrifice, compromises, and expense. Ryan is looking for sponsors to support his bid go on to the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo. Funds are needed for fencing training, strength training, physiotherapy, equipment, travel and tournaments. Ryan trains 4 days a week rising at 5:00am to work on the farm before heading off to Strength Training at 7am, then back to the farm work before fencing class in the evening until 10pm. It sounds gruelling but is all in a day’s work for our Paralympic hopeful Ryan Rousell, as he strives to become one of the top 16 Wheelchair Fencers in the world. As his coaches have told him "You can do this!" Submitted by Genevieve Rosseel

Home on the Range Road
How to Interpret those Green and White Road Number Signs Lately there seem to be more and more of those green and white township and road signs along the highway and rural roads, as RM’s continue to work on the establishment of a road direction system. My problem with those signs was that I didn’t understand what all the numbers meant. I understood townships and ranges but couldn’t quite make sense of the signs and it bothered me. So, as the old adage goes, If You Don’t Like Something, Do Something About It, I did, looking into the science of road signage, and coming up with the following interpretation that I would like to share with anyone who was as confused as I was. Example: Twp Rd 334 (read township 33, 4 miles north of the southern boundary of the township). Townships are, as you may know, 6 mile by 6 mile square blocks of land that run in bands across the province, and begin numbering with “1” at the U.S. border (49th parallel), the number increasing as you progress northward. Townships themselves are further broken down into one mile by one mile blocks, or sections. Section numbering starts at the south east corner, increasing as you go west for six sections, then the next tier continues the numbering but goes east to west. This pattern continues for the remaining sections. But back to the signs. Township roads are east-west roads at twomile intervals, the numbering increasing as you move north (Twp
Rd 330, 332, 334, 340). A township road, by itself, won’t tell you exactly where you are. Twp Rd 334 could be west of Kindersley, east of Vanscoy, wherever. What you need along with the township road location is the intersect of the range road, which runs north and south. As the line in the old song Love and Marriage goes, ‘you can’t have one without the other’. Example: Rge Rd 3095 (read west of the third meridian, range nine, 5 miles west of the eastern boundary of the township.) There are three meridians (northsouth directions) that dictate location in Saskatchewan. The First Meridian is roughly just west of Winnipeg, the Second forms the upper part of the Saskatchewan Manitoba border, and the Third Meridian runs in a line approximately through Prince Albert and Moose Jaw. The Fourth Meridian is the Alberta Saskatchewan border. Range roads run north south, and are surveyed to be one mile apart, so there will be six of them surrounding a township (Range Road 3090, 3091, 3092, 3093, 3094, 3095, 3100). You might wonder at the need for this type of road sign, given the GPS most of us have on our phones and all those other devices on the dashboards of newer vehicles that cause us to throw our hands in the air in frustration. However, first responders for one find the township and range signs useful, and it always helps, as they say in law enforcement, to have a “visual”. And it is a long way from searching
for those iron post monuments that were erected by Dominion Land Surveys at the intersections of townships, sections and quarter sections, that the settlers had to contend with.
A Celebration of Life for Tom Walker, Vanscoy will be held: Thursday, June 7th, 11:00 am Windsor Chapel, 704 Windsor St., Saskatoon
Imagine you are out in one of the many sparsely populated rural areas, looking for the SE ¼ of Section 33, Township, Range 13, W3M . Suppose you don’t have GPS on your phone, and today you took the old farm truck, the dashboard of which is blissfully free of all but the basics. If you come across township range signs at an intersection reading Twp 330, Rge Rd 3122, you at least have starting points. Knowing township roads are east west, two miles apart, the numbers increasing as you move north, and that range roads are north south and are one mile apart, the numbers increasing as you move west, then you can use your vehicle’s odometer to find that land location with some certainty. This is just my sketchy interpretation of Township and Range signs. A more formal, expanded explanation can be found on several of the RM websites.

MP REPORT Liberals Changing Election Rules
L
ate last month the Liberals introduced a Bill that makes numerous changes to our electoral rules, including loosening the requirement for voter ID, and have limited debate on the Bill to only two hours. We also found out that Trudeau has ordered Elections Canada to begin implementing the changes introduced in the Bill before it is passed by Parliament. By doing so, he is ignoring the rule of law and the role of Parliament in creating laws. This comes after Trudeau’s plans to weaken the powers of the Opposition Party in the House and to dramatically change our electoral system without a referendum were abandoned due to opposition from Canadians. Unfortunately, it appears that he has not learned his lesson – Canadians do not want an electoral system that unfairly benefits one Party over another. The new rules would weaken our voter ID requirements , allow foreign money to continue to influence Canadian elections, and do nothing to address the security of our election results. It also places a limit on how political parties can spend their fundraised money during the pre-writ, or just before an election is called. However, the same limit is not placed on the Federal government’s funding announcements. This means that the Party in government would have an unfair advantage over other Parties, as they could essentially use Federal funding announcements to campaign while limiting the ability of the Opposition Parties to spend their funds.

Kelly Block, MP
My colleague Blake Richards, Shadow Minister for Democratic Institutions, issued a statement following the tabling of Bill C- 76: “Conservatives believe your vote matters. When individuals vote in the wrong riding, or vote twice, that undermines our democratic institutions. We would be naïve to assume that people would not take advantage of our electoral system, and undermine the value of someone else’s vote. “Previously, Justin Trudeau tried to change Canada’s elections laws to benefit the Liberal Party of Canada, but Canadians stopped him. The Prime Minister has failed time and time again to be honest with Canadians and he cannot be trusted to amend voter identification rules in a way that does not benefit the Liberal Party. Canadians are required to identify themselves before buying alcohol and marijuana. The same should be true before they vote. “It’s already proven that nearly 400,000 voter cards sent during the 2015 election were subject to error. Moreover, there are numerous allegations that millions of dollars in foreign funding was funneled into third party advocacy groups during the 2015 election. According to reports, the Tides Foundation donated $1.5 million to Canadian third parties in the election year alone.

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.

2018 CROP HAIL INSURANCE NOW AVAILABLE AT MOONEY AGENCIES
I
t's that time again to consider your hail insurance plans for the coming season. The economic impact of losing your crop in a severe hail storm could be devastating. Mooney Agencies offers various hail coverage and deductible options from both Co-op Hail and Palliser Insurance. We are pleased to provide you crop hail insurance rates from multiple companies, various deductible options, explain the claims procedures and deferred payment options! In order to provide rates we require your land locations and type of crop for each along with the number of acres seeded. Hail insurance is available for all types of crops ranging from $10 to $400 per acre (without exceeding actual value of your crop). Rates will depend on your exact land location, township and type of crop as each crop reacts differently to hail. Coverage begins at noon on the day following the date of policy purchase and expires by October 15 (or when harvested). Deferred payment available option until October 1 available for 5% finance fee or consider using your credit card. If you notice that your crop has been damaged by hail you have only 72 hours to complete a "Notice of Loss" declaration which is provided with your policy and then submit your written claim. If the hail damage occurs during harvest then certain conditions must be followed as detailed in your policy to ensure that sufficient undisturbed evidence of your crop remains available for the adjuster to inspect. If you will be away or traveling during hail season then you must arrange in advance to have somebody inspect your crops and report the loss if necessary in your absence given the 72 hour reporting period.
Do you understand the various Disappearing Deductible options available and how these help you reduce hail insurance costs? Deductible options are highly effective at increasing your per acre coverage. They are used to cover more of your profits than input costs with higher payment potential for the most severe storms. Deductible options often work best in conjunction with full coverage but can be purchased stand alone. For example, consider "20D" deductible option typically 65-70% of full cover rate and the deductible disappears at 60% crop loss. The deductible starts reducing at 40% loss until it reaches 60% when it completely disappears. Under the "20D" hail insurance deductible option you can purchase per acre limits on average 50% higher than full coverage for a similar price! For example, purchase a base crop hail policy with "full coverage" at $100/acre then purchase a second policy on the same crop with 20D deductible to reduce your total cost but still provide the coverage you need in a total loss or large percentage loss. This is the most cost effective way to protect both your input costs and profits! 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. Mooney Agencies provides specialized advice for your farm or acreage, along with providing home, auto and commercial insurance solutions anywhere in Saskatchewan from our 3 locations in Vanscoy, Colonsay and Young. We are available to meet at your home, acreage, farm or business by appointment. Please introduce yourself to your Mooney Agencies insurance team – Stephanie & Landry Klapwijk, Della O’Hara, Danielle Thiessen and Courtney Klapwijk.

The 4-year olds have been exploring their senses this past month. We played I Spy, guessed what was making the sound, felt different textures and tried to come up with describing words, and tried to guess the smell while blindfolded. This week, we will finish off trying to guess the food by tasting items blindfolded. The students made a 5 Senses book with pictures on each page to represent each sense. Both classes made handprint flowers for their moms for Mother's Day. And we were fortunate to be invited to Pike Lake School to play with some baby chicks. Thanks Pike Lake School! We also had a great day at the Forestry Farm. We were a big group (16 adults and 24 kids), it was a bit chaotic at times, but I think fun was had by all!

I'm not sure what else we'll do in June, possibly shapes with the 3year olds, maybe animals with the 4-year olds, and both groups will learn about the number 10. The 4year olds are also going on a field trip to the firehall since we had to cancel last time due to the weather. Registration for next year was held on Thursday, May 24th. So far, there are seven 4-year olds and one 3year old registered. If you have, or know of, a child who will be 3 or 4 by December 31st, 2018, and toilet trained, please contact Wendy Schoonbaert at 306978-8164, 306-222-2748, or wschoonbaert@yourlink.ca.

OTTAWA (May 24, 2018) Grain Growers of Canada (GGC) was pleased to join Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Minister Lawrence MacAulay in Winnipeg today as he formally announced that Bill C-49, the Transportation Modernization Act had received Royal Assent. This landmark Bill paves the way for a balanced transportation system that will carry Canadian shippers far into the future. The Bill is already demonstrating its value for the grain industry as Canadian National Railway (CN) announced today that it would be purchasing 1000 new generation hopper cars to significantly bolster shipping capacity. This investment is a clear indication of the importance of Minister Garneau’s Bill and a commitment by CN towards a strong infrastructure that will prevent future grain rail backlogs.

M
anaging pastures for maximum productivity is a long term goal, but weather fluctuations, fire, insect or wildlife damage, and any other unforeseen circumstances can quickly create a complex balancing act. During times of dry conditions, the urge to use as much as possible of what little forage growth there is, may be overwhelming. Before doing so, producers must consider the future consequences of pushing pastures to obtain more grazing days. No Roots – No Grass Roughly two-thirds of total plant growth occurs below ground, while the above ground portion only makes up about one-third. The extensive root system forms the lifeline for forage plants and helps ensure long-term survival as well as productivity.
The Cost of Overgrazing Why it Doesn’t Pay to Push your Pasture
Moisture stress can reduce or impair root growth even without added grazing pressure. When plants are repeatedly grazed, without a recovery period, the root system becomes increasingly shallow. This results in plants that are less vigorous, robust and productive. Resist the Urge The amount and distribution of dead plant material, also known as litter, on a pasture is an indicator of previous grazing management. Litter is an essential component of a healthy pasture and ecosystem. The litter left behind helps to shade and cools the soil, which reduces evaporation and conserves moisture. Litter also helps to protect the soil from erosion and maintains soil stability. Removing every last blade of grass leads to de-
creasing litter carryover and increases recovery time. Effective rest is the time required for plants to recover during the growing season. The amount of rest needed depends on the amount of leaf area remaining after grazing and the time of grazing during the growing season. Under ideal conditions, effective rest for tame pastures is four to six weeks. If limited moisture is available, the plant will not regrow as quickly and a longer rest period is needed. Overgrazed plants will use root reserves for leaf area regrowth and stop allocating resources to root growth in an attempt to survive short-term. When dry conditions persist into subsequent years, desirable plants will first reduce production and eventually disappear from a pasture.
It takes Moisture to grow Grass There are no quick-fix solutions to forage growth during times of dry conditions. The absence of moisture will inevitably result in absence of forage growth. Adjusting stocking rates and using alternative feeding systems helps protect pastures and ensures animal requirements are being met. As much as it is tempting, overgrazing pastures in dry conditions is not worth the loss of production in subsequent grazing seasons. Leaving sufficient carry-over and allowing sufficient time for plants to recover may be the hardest but most critical grazing management decisions made during dry conditions. For more information on pasture management, contact the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1866-457-2377 or call the Outlook Regional Office at 306-867-5500.
Grain farmers welcome passage of Bill C-49 into law Bill C-49 already benefitting grain shipping as railway invests in Canadian-made hopper cars “We knew that Bill C-49 was a strong piece of legislation and now we have the proof that it truly will help modernize the shipping industry,” said Grain Growers of Canada (GGC) Vice President Art Enns from Winnipeg. “Grain farmers can take comfort today in knowing that our hard work in pressing for the Bill will pay off through a balanced and robust rail system.” This announcement was made possible by new provisions in the Act that ensures investments made by one railway are of direct benefit to that railway, rather than being shared across railways out as they were under previous legislation. Grain farmers have been concerned about Canada’s aging hopper car fleet for some time and the purchase of new, higher capacity cars is good news. “I would like to thank CN for acting so quickly on their commitment to purchasing new rail cars,” added GGC
President, Jeff Nielsen. “Making this announcement the day after Royal Assent shows that they are serious about harnessing the benefits of C-49 and meeting the needs of their customers.” Today’s announcement will have a positive benefit for the Canadian economy as a whole as the cars will be manufactured by National Steel Car Ltd. at their Hamilton, ON plant, creating jobs and spurring the local economy, just as grain agriculture does for rural communities across the country. “An investment in agriculture is an investment in Canada,” concluded Mr. Nielsen. “Ministers Garneau and MacAulay knew this when they ensured that C-49 would strengthen grain transportation and I am joined by my grain farmer members in thanking them for their hard work.”
