fter many weeks of renovations, the Delisle Ag Co-op has now re-opened. The staff were operating out of a temporary trailer during the renovation and are glad to now be working from the exciting new store.

The exterior renovations include a facelift to the car wash and store buildings as well as new gas and diesel pumps, improved lighting and new signage.

The biggest part of the major renovation is the completely revamped store interior. Along with new washrooms there is expanded retail floor space, allowing for more product selections, much of which is food services, such as a hot dog roller, exclusive new coffee offerings and various other new beverage and snack serving stations.

“The expanded food services is a big reason for the renovation”, says Manager Darin Sekulich.

“We have a very high-tec new food prep room in the back to create and maintain all the new food offerings, and we have had a tremendous amount of recent training on the safe handling of these products as well as the proper operation of these new machines. We are especially excited about our new coffee service products. The coffee is the best anywhere in Saskatchewan”.

The renovation makes the Delisle Co-op the newest, most modern C-store in the province and Federated Co-op is planning an official grand opening sometime in November.

In the meantime, drop in a see what the Delisle Co-op now has to offer you.

Editorial

I

hope you have enjoyed your Summer STAY-Cation this year. I spent most of my summer in the community until I finally broke down and went out to Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba for a week.

I had been to this beautiful park in the past. It’s terrain is very similar to Prince Albert National Park and the townsite, Wasagamming, pronounced “Wa-sag-a-ming”, is identical to the Waskesui townsite. This is no accident as both townsites were designed by the same person.

My wife and I loaded up the Ford Explorer with a canoe on the top, bikes on a rack on the back and appropriate coolers, clothes, fishing tackle and golf clubs inside. Off we went.

I looked forward to relaxing as we had the luxury of staying in a rustic cabin within the townsite of Wasagamming.

No camping this time.

We took full advantage of all the park had to offer, going sight seeing on our bikes in the townsite, hiking on a few of the many trails throughout the park and golfing at the amazing beautiful course, again similar to the Lobstick course in Waskesui.

Weather was great. Showers overnight, warm days, very little wind.

These calm conditions allowed us to go on a couple of canoe trips in the park.

Many of the lakes are quite small and, with an $8 fishing license, I was able to do some angling from the canoe while my wife enjoyed the scenery and willingly did some occasional paddling for me. A perfect, non-fishing, first mate.

The first lake we went to was Lake Katherine. A small 40 acre lake that has a ban on any motorized devices.

This makes it not only perfect for a canoe but it is frequented by paddleboarders and kayakers, and there were a couple of them around that day.

Two years ago I fished this lake with my son, on the advice from a local resident.

He said I would catch a jackfish there every time I went out, and he was right.

I caught one two year ago, and I caught one again this year. Perfect day.

The second trip was to Grayling Lake. About half the size of Lake Katherine, amazingly scenic and no one ever on it. I had never been on it and maybe there were no fish in it, but this lake, all to ourselves was irresistible.

www.rmreview.net

Sleeping with the Fishes We carried the canoe a short distance from the truck and slipped it into the water beside the dock.

There was an expansive, thick weed bed 12 inches below the surface. It surrounded the dock and went out into the lake as far as I could see. The canoe rested into it when I climbed in, and it was apparent that a bit of Gondola type pole work would be required to move the craft to what I hoped was deeper water.

My wife was up at the vehicle gathering things to bring out on the lake with us so I took that time to work the canoe away from the dock to see if indeed this weed bed did drop off, otherwise any canoeing would be impossible.

About 20 feet from the dock the bottom dropped off and I was perfectly bouyant.

As I pushed my way back to the dock I noticed a long, straight white line on top of the weed bed. It was a fishing line, broke off by someone fishing from the dock trying cast beyond the weeds.

I snagged the loose end of the line and began to pull it into the canoe, at the same time dragging myself towards the dock. I was excited about my chances of getting a free lure. As I pulled along I noticed a bright pink curved object about five feet out, on top of the weed mat below. Kinda looked like dentures.

A top plate.... weird.

I ignored it as I kept retrieving the line and sure enough, a nice Len Thompson Five of Diamonds lure surfaced.

I quickly realized that it was not tied to the line, but instead the treble hook on it was just wrapped up in the line, which continue further into the depths.

I untangled the free lure and continued pulling myself along with the line.

Amazingly.... I see another pink object on the weed bed.

Are you kidding me !

Dentures..... bottom plate ! YIKES !

My mind racing, I continued to pull in the line. Soon I am right above whatever is on the other end of this line. It is hard pulling straight up, but I was making progress. I glance again the some poor bastards teeth, wondering if I have maybe discover the poor bastard himself in Davy Jones’ Locker. After a few heaves I slowly bring a big mass of the weed bed near the surface. I tentatively strip away handfuls of weeds, allowing me to raise it ever closer.

Again I glance over at the chompers.

I’M FREAKIN’ OUT !!

As I strip off more weeds the load gets lighter, to the point where I can lift the remaining weeds from the water and I’m wondering what decomposed body part might lie underneath.

Mercifully the end of the line is connected to nothing more than a 12” steel leader... and another lure. Whew !

I grab the second free lure of the day to remove it from the clasp on the leader and when I flip it over to the painted side, what do I see.... a second yellow and red Five of Diamonds spoon !!

As amazing as this coincidence is, my mind quickly turns back to the dental prosthetics below me. I grab a paddle to manoeuver around and retrieve them.

I push back to the dock just as my wife is walking out on it. She freaks out when she sees two halves of a human mouth laying on top of my tackle box.

I explain the tale of the teeth to her and she is convinced someone as been the victim of foul play. I’m not sure myself.

After a couple of hours of canoeing, fishing and looking a set of teeth, we wrap up the day and head home.

My wife had bagged the teeth and when we returned to town shee took them to the park administration office.

I stayed in the car.

They thanked her for finding them and put them in the lost and found bin.

She thinks she convinced them they may belong to a missing person and that something more should be done.

During the remainder of our stay I kept expecting a visit from the RCMP. I hope your summer was full adventure too. Happy Harvesting !!

Celebrity Sports Dinner Raises Money for New Zamboni

T

he Delisle arena has taken possession of a brand new Zomboni. The ice resurfacing machine is worth about $130,000 and the funds to secure are the result of the recent Celebrity Sports Dinner held in the Delisle arena on Wednesday, August 14th.

The event was the brainchild of Jack Norris, Ken Traynor, Dan Mantyka and Dave Anderchek.

The four of them have been planning to do this event for a long time and spent countless hours putting together a committee, volunteers, securing the necessary corporate sponsorships as well as NHL celebrity keynote speakers.

Hockey legends Dennis Hull, Theoren Fleury and Georges Laraque were chosen to attend as the feature speakers at the dinner, as well as attend the Lucky Bastard Distillers VIP lounge, which ran for a couple hours at the town hall previous to the actual dinner. All the vent sponsors were invited to the VIP lounge to rub shoulders with the celebrities as well as take pictures with them at the photo booth.

Complimentary hors d'oeuvres and beverages were available and the 60 attending sponsors had a once in a lifetime experience to take home, along with some autographs.

The dinner that followed was attended by 370 people that were lucky enough to get a ticket, coming from communities hours away from Delisle, some as far away as Calgary.

They enjoyed an exceptional meal catered by Robin’s Nest Cafe in Vanscoy and were treated to outstanding and side-splitting entertainment from the three celebrity guest speakers. “There were people that told me they were still laughing as they made the drive home that night”, says Ken Traynor, one of the event organizers.

There was also an opportunity for attendees to support the fundraising effort by taking part in a silent auction for signed NHL jerseys as well as bid on many items in the live auction, which was masterfully performed by Dan Mantyka.

The event also honored three local citizens for their years of participation and sports excellence in the community. Dave Anderchek awarded the honors to Colin Coben, Terry Weibe and Al Norris. “This was an excellent opportunity for our community”, says committee member Dave Anderchek, “Thing went off without a hitch. It couldn’t have worked out better. We’ve had only positive responses from those that attended. The volunteers that came to help with the dinner and bartending, the Delisle Chiefs that cleaned up after the supper and the staff at Can-Am that help use move equipment around, all did a very exceptional job for us”.

Dave says the committee is already planning to hold a second annual event, hoping to start a new tradition of Sports Celebrity Dinners in the community.

“The bottom line of an events like this”, Dave goes on to say, “ is the huge support of all of the corporate sponsors. The committee, volunteers and those that purchased tickets are what make the event happen, but it is the financial support that we received from those corporate sponsors that make the event result in something special, like a new Zamboni for the arena. We wouldn’t be able to achieve that without them. We want to recognize them as the tremendous members of our community that they are”.

The new Zamboni sits in the Delisle Arena, sponsored by Nutrien, Dakota Dunes Community Development and Ron Brown Implements.

COUNCIL REPORTS RM OF MONTROSE (Next Meeting September 12, 8:00am)

your backyard fires moderate.

Summer is winding down, children are going back to school and soon Autumn will be upon us. Enjoy the

last few days of summer!

M

ontrose Municipal Council held a regular meeting on August 8, 2019.

The Rural Municipality of Montrose levied the 2019 taxes and issued tax notices in mid-August. Those in our municipality should have received tax notices no later than August 21, 2019. If you have not received your notice, please contact the office for assistance.

The RM worked alongside Langenburg Redi-Mix to complete 2.8 km of roto mixing on TWP RD 334 also known as the Laura Pavement. We experienced a delay when discovering a major road failure that required excavation and proper fill. The project has now been completed.

Our shop progress is moving along well. The foundation has been completed and concrete will be poured by the end of August.

Les Wirth was hired as an additional Transfer Station Attendant to provide relief for the current Attendant.

The RM held a Summer BBQ fundraiser for the Montrose Fire Department and all proceeds went to the Fire Department. A competition took place between the RM Fire Department and Delisle & District Fire Department. Both departments displayed their experience and expertise in operating their pumps and equipment. These drills showed the physical requirements required by these volunteers. A Cow Patti bingo was part of the fundraiser and our calf Peanut chose square 13 which belonged to Barry Junop. Congrats Barry! We had three volunteers from Council and Staff for ‘Pie your councillor’. The volunteers each received a few pies to the face. In total, $2500 was raised for the Montrose Volunteer Fire Department.

We would like to extend many thanks to the community who supported this event, plus Safeway, Delisle Co-Op, Old Dutch Foods, Save on Foods and SaskEnergy for their generous sponsorship and donations. We would also like to thank the following companies for donating to our Cow Patti Bingo Prize: Boston Pizza, Back 40 Embroidery, C & C Designs, Northland Livestock Ltd, Farm Credit Canada and Peavey Mart.

Council would like to remind all residents that if you see something that is a crime or looks criminal, to call the RCMP at 306-975-1670. If you see individuals driving dangerously, speeding, or if you see something that just doesn’t look right, please call the RCMP. It does not do any good to come into the Town office the next day to report it to office staff. It is extremely important that the RCMP have a handle of how much crime, no matter how petty, is occurring in town.

A reminder goes out to all individuals that the Town of Asquith has A Burning Bylaw which dictates that one can have a fire in town for recreational use only.

Only clean wood/firewood can be burned in your fire pits - no painted/treated wood, refuse, leaves, etc. should be burned. Be kind to your neighbor and to the environment and burn only clean wood materials.

John Arcand Fiddle Fest Wraps up Successful 22nd Year

T

hank you to our Board of Directors, administrative staff, amazing volunteers and seasonal staff instructors, performers, competitors, sponsors, funders and ALL of the audience members! The 22nd Annual John Arcand Fiddle Fest was a great success and you all played an important role in it! With each year’s presentation it is so amazing to see the camaraderie, the talent, the support and the appreciation.

“Almost” perfect weather set the stage for our event August 8-10th, with just a few small showers to settle the dust on Friday and a bit more of a chill in the air in the evenings. A great time was had by all as patrons enjoyed music, partook in workshops, danced and jammed!

After repeated requests to run the fiddle

contest portion of our festival in one day, we finally planned our programming to accommodate that, but that also meant going from a 4 day to a 3 day format. The requests were definitely warranted as we had an outstanding 50 fiddlers in the contest, and the 3 day format was also well received. That along with our efforts to step up the advertising and increase our social media presence worked as we experienced a number of exciting developments in audience attendance and participation.

fun, locals are sure to increasingly favor the Fiddle Fest as an inexpensive and accessible summer destination!

There was a noticeable increase in day attendance this year, proving again our efforts to raise awareness to local folks that this cultural event happens in their own “backyard” is being heeded. With our reasonable one-time gate fee, free shuttle service from four locations in the city and a weekend of unique family

Participation in the workshops exceeded our expectations! Not everyone was out to compete, some people came for the range of musical and cultural workshops we provide. Our Metis Cultural Camp experienced maxed out attendance at almost every session, the Q&A workshops on Truth and Reconciliation saw another noticeable increase in attendance – as did Metis Storytelling.

Both of these offerings are designed, so more people now have a clearer understanding of the calls to action and what they can do in their daily lives to further the goals. The Square dance workshops experienced huge growth with a packed dance floor at every presentation and our Friday and Saturday night Old Time Dances were a refreshing scene of young and old taking to packed dance floors to “swing their partners” and celebrate live music.

Large crowd under “The Roof” at Fiddle Fest

They came from all corners of Western Canada and beyond! 50 competitors vied for 0ver $7700 in prize money and the addresses indicate we are fortunate to have people travelling from all over to participate. The results from the fiddle and contest are attached, and are also available on our Facebook (John Arcand Fiddle Fest) and soon on our website.

And concerts! With the change to a 3 day format we added a concert series to Saturday afternoon.

Along with our daytime

Town of Delisle Dedicates Walking Path in Memory of Carmen Vandenameele (Traynor) The families of Carmen Vandenameele (Traynor) would like to thank the Town of Delisle for all their efforts and time in making it possible to have a walking path in Memory of Carmen at the Harold Worth Park.

It is truly very special.

We were so touched by everyone who made it out on July 15 to honor Carmen and the unveiling of the plaque. It was a beautiful evening, lots of stories and memories shared.

The path is very special for Carmen’s families, a place where we can go and walk with her.

Again, we would like to thank the community and everyone involved, Carmen would very be touched.

programming, and evening concerts on Thursday, Friday and Saturday – we had many encores and standing ovations.

Though many associate old-time music with older generations, the John Arcand Fiddle Fest proves to be an intergenerational experience. Drawing from over 1700 participants in our workshops (fiddle, guitar, dance, and the Cultural camp), the demographic was 31% senior, 25% adult and 44% youth! These numbers tell us our mandate to pass on the traditions to the youth is definitely being fulfilled. These statistics also included a busy Children’s Activity Area, where an array of arts and crafts and interactive story-time and kid-oriented music workshops were met with approval by children and parents alike.

An important part of our mandate is to nurture Métis and old-time music, dance and the arts for future generations, so we are pleased to see our hard work and dreams becoming a reality!

Planning has already begun for the 23rd presentation which will be held August 6-8th, 2020!

Delisle Chiefs Gearing Up for 2019/20 Season

A

s the late summer days get shorter and start to get that crisp edge to them, the sights, sounds and smells of the hockey season are not that far away here in west central Saskatchewan. The Delisle Chiefs have been busy behind the scenes gearing up for the beginning of the 2019-2020 Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) season.

The Chiefs aren’t looking in the rear view mirror at the 2018-19 season. But pause for a moment and consider what they did accomplish. It was a season that was both record-breaking and heart-breaking all at the same time. Delisle set a franchise record and tied the PJHL record for most wins in a 40-game season (38) while also setting new franchise and league records for most points in a 40-game season (77). After dominating all the teams in the regular season, the Chiefs bowed out of the PJHL North Division Final to the Saskatoon Quakers losing the series 4-1.

You would think that would have left a bitter taste in the mouth of Chiefs Head Coach & General Manager, Eric Ditto.

You would “think”, but that’s not so. They’re looking forward at the opportunities that are in front of them. Ditto is very excited about the upcoming year. “We’re continuing to build our program with a solid core of veterans but at the same time we feel that we’ve also added some skilled rookies. We believe our goaltending is also going to be strong.”

Up front, 2018-19 PJHL All-Star forwards Austin Linnen and Chad Westman are eligible to return. Linnen finished 2nd in PJHL scoring last year. Newly appointed team Captain, Chad Westman finished 9th in league scoring. Forward Benson Thorpe rounds out the Top 3 and is also eligible to return. Those three players gave the Chiefs 3 of the top 14 scorers in the league last year. Overall, Delisle could return nine veterans up front.

The team added rookie talent over the summer signing players from the Midget AA Warman Wildcats and Unity Lazers as well as the Saskatoon Contacts, Beardy’s Blackhawks and Battlefords Stars of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League.

While the Chiefs can possibly return a lot of veteran players to the line-up, they will be adding a new assistant coach or possibly even two due to work commitments.

Delisle has hired former captain and 4-year player, Anthony Radke to fill one position on the staff. Ditto said having new staff isn’t necessarily a bad thing. “Our new assistant coach(s) will bring new ideas and approaches to our team.”

Ditto and the Chiefs are looking forward to getting the new season rolling with their veteran nucleus and new crop of rookies. “We’ll have some new challenges but we’re hoping for positive outcomes.”

The Chiefs could return up to 5 veterans on their blue-line for the upcoming season. Last season, Delisle allowed a league low 82 goals in 40 games. Much of that can be attributed to the solid team defense they played. Back-to-back PJHL Goaltender of the year, Justin Gauthier is also eligible to return this year. Potentially, the recipe for defensive success is still there.

The Chiefs will host the Carrot River Outback Thunder in their Season Opener on Saturday, September 28th. Game time is 7:30pm in Delisle. The Chiefs will have a variety of exciting events happening at their Season Opener so stay tuned to their Social Media accounts for updates on those events.

AGRICULTURE REPORTS

Canola Hay/Silage for Livestock Canola crops can be cut as hay or silage and can be safely fed to livestock.

By Jenifer Heyden, PAg, Livestock & Feed Extension Specialist, North Battleford

anola crops can be cut as hay or silage and can be safely fed to livestock. Read on to find out

Certain circumstances can lead to a failed canola crop – lack of moisture, hail, early frost, poor pod set, etc. These crops can be cut as hay or silage, often times yielding good quality feed, and with proper management, can be safely fed to livestock. Given the current conditions across the province, the likelihood is very high that there will be canola crops salvaged for winter feed programs.

The crop stage and cutting and harvesting conditions will ultimately affect the feed quality, but there are general guidelines for harvesting canola as feed.

If cut early (late flowering, early podding), quality can be excellent with approximately 15 per cent crude protein (CP) and approximately 60 per cent total digestible nutrients (TDN/energy).

At this maturity stage, it makes a palatable hay or silage and is often similar to a good quality alfalfa hay. However, as maturity advances (bottom leaves are past green to shrivelled, the second set lower leaves are showing marked colour loss), quality tends to decline. Ripe canola is similar to cereal straw in terms of nutrients, and has low palatability. Ideally, canola should be cut for forage some time from the early podding stage just after the flowers have dropped, up to the stage where the lower leaves are just starting to drop, for maximum quality and consumable yield. Crimping can hasten drying and improve palatability and digestibility.

Cutting the crop higher than a typical greenfeed crop can improve dry down time and improve quality, as there will be fewer thick stems.

Before cutting a salvage canola crop for hay or silage, it is important to read and understand the labels of any herbicides or fungicides that may have been applied as often there are grazing or harvesting time restrictions that must be

followed to ensure livestock safety.

Given the tendency for high variability in the quality of canola forage, it is recommended that a feed test is performed before feeding to livestock. Stressed (or highly fertilized) canola crops can contain high nitrate levels, which could lead to nitrate poisoning. In addition, canola, along with other brassica crops, can contain high amounts of sulphur (0.5 per cent to 1.3 per cent or more).

The National Research Council publishes the "Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle" and recommends that total dietary sulphur not exceed 0.4 per cent on a dry matter basis. High levels of dietary sulfur interfere with mineral absorption (especially copper), the production of vitamin B (thiamine), may cause scouring in severe cases, and possibly sulphur induced polio (polioencephalomalacia or PEM). For these reasons, canola forage must be limited to less than 40 to 50 per cent of the ration for ruminants, or less than 33 per cent for horses, depending on their age and health status. Mineral supplements containing elevated or a more available form of copper should be provided, especially when water sulphur levels are also high.

Generally, canola forage palatability is good; however, livestock that are not accustomed to it may need a few days to adjust to the different taste. As with most other feeds, watch for moisture/mold and potential dust. Processing or running through a mixer wagon may help with consumption and can improve the consistency of the ration. It may be safer to feed canola hay or silage, rather than allowing livestock to graze a standing crop. Talk to your nutritionist or Regional Livestock and Feed Extension Specialist about how canola can fit into your winter feed ration.

For more information about this or other related topics, contact your nearest Regional Office or call the Agriculture Knowledge Centre general inquiry line at 1-866-457-2377.

Winter Feeding Plans Start with Evaluating Feed Resources

I

By Alicia Sopatyk, PAg, Regional Livestock Specialist, Tisdale

n many parts of the province, forage supplies are low; however, there are several options for winter rations to strategically feed to meet your livestock’s changing needs. It all starts with a good look at the feed stack to determine if you have the quantity and quality of forage to get you through any circumstance. Doing so provides an opportunity to match the feeds with the needs of your livestock, avoid over or under feeding and purchase supplements before potential price increases.

Time to pull out the weigh scale – for your livestock, but also your bales.

Knowing how much your livestock weigh will help determine how much feed they will physically need. On average, beef cows will consume 2.5 per cent of their body weight in feed on a dry matter basis; a 1400 pound cow will eat approximately 35 pounds of dry matter.

If your bales are 15 per cent moisture, you will need to feed 41.5 pounds of hay on an as fed basis to reach the goal of 35 pounds of dry matter. Keeping this in mind, you would need 4,150 pounds of hay (at 15 per cent moisture) for 100 head per day, or 830,000 pounds (376.5 MT) for 200 days of winter feeding.

Knowing this, look at the quantity of feed you have available. Get an accurate average weight on your bales as they come off the field and the tonnage of silage as it enters the pit. Does the quantity of feed match the physical quantity required by your livestock?

Next, we need to look at the quality of the forage. Unfortunately, visual analysis alone isn’t enough to determine the quality of the feed. Feed testing provides specific values that can be cross referenced with your animal’s require-

ments and referenced back to the quantity available to complete a winter feeding plan. Work with your nutritionist or Regional Livestock and Feed Extension Specialist to select the appropriate feed test package and sampling information.

We have compiled a list of laboratories that do feed testing. If other factors such as mycotoxins, nitrates and sulphates are a concern, those can also be tested for on an as-needed basis.

Nutrition is a factor you as a producer can control. Managing and planning your winter feeding period requires knowledge of your feed inventory both in terms of quantity and quality, an understanding of your animal’s requirements at different stages of production, and some leeway with regards to length and severity of the winter feeding period and feed wastage. The protein and energy requirements of a beef cow in good condition coming off pasture at five months pregnant, for example, are vastly different from a cow that is eight months pregnant. It is costly to overfeed the less pregnant cow like she is heavily pregnant, especially if weather is good and even more so when supplies are limited. Take a close look at your feed stack and feed test results to prioritize what feeds are best suited to meet your livestock’s needs as they move through the production cycle, keeping weather in mind. It pays to plan ahead and be strategic with your resources.

For more information, contact your local Regional Livestock and Feed Extension Specialist or call the Agriculture Knowledge Centre general inquiry line at 1866-457-2377.
