R.M. of Vanscoy No. 345
Public Notice
Please take note that pursuant to Section 3.6.3(8)(e)(i) of The RM of
Vanscoy Official Community Plan, a temporary moratorium has been
placed on multiple lot country residential subdivision applications until
such time that the RM of Vanscoy No. 345 Zoning Bylaw and Official
Community Plan have been reviewed.
Section 3.6.3(8)(e)(i) of The RM of Vanscoy Official Community Plan
states:
“A maximum of three multiple lot country residential subdivisions in de-
velopmental stages will be allowed at any point in time. Multiple-lot
country residential subdivisions with less than 75% of building lots with
completed residential construction will be considered to be in a develop-
mental stage. However, if 75% of available lots in one or more of those
three subdivisions are vacant but it appears that development is lagging
because the developer/land owner is holding land vacant or is encounter-
ing difficulty with financing the development then that subdivision will
be deemed to not be in a developmental stage and Council may consider
the approval of up to three additional subdivision proposals.”
At present time the RM has exceeded the maximum allowed six multi-
lot country residential subdivisions less than 75% sold at this time. Con-
cessions have been made to ensure that “lagging” subdivisions are not
holding up future developments. However, even with these concessions
the threshold of six has still been met.
Therefore, council has decided not to accept any new multi-parcel subdi-
vision applications until such time that the RM Zoning Bylaw and Offi-
cial Community can be reviewed and possible changes can be made to
this policy.
The current moratorium is temporary, and multi-lot Country Residen-
tial Subdivision applications will be accepted once again in the future.
However, at this time the RM office is unable to provide an exact date as
to when the moratorium will be lifted.
Should you have any questions or require any clarification regarding
this notice please contact the RM Office.
Issued at the Village of Vanscoy this 7th day of January 2015.

Local Residents Discuss Highway 7 Twinning Proposals
Inland Grain Terminal Application Approved
The RM of Vanscoy No. 345 has ap-
proved an application to develop and
construct an Inland Grain Terminal
and Rail
Loop Track, to be located at SE 25-36-07 W3,
just south of highway 14 on Range Road
3070, which borders the RM of Vanscoy and
Corman Park.
A public hearing was held on Tuesday, De-
cember 9, 2014 at the RM of Vanscoy office,
in Vanscoy, where 28 residents voiced their
concerns including possible property devalua-
tion, noise pollution, the overall size and
scope of the proposed development, the num-
ber of trucks that will be hauling to the ter-
minal possibly for 20 hours per day and the
resulting road damage.
Support for the proposal was shown by a rep-
resentative of 20 local farmers who currently
must haul product to Clavet, Warman, Biggar
and Rosetown.
Council had earlier mailed out a survey to 48
property owners near the proposed site, with
14 of them being returned, 6 in favor, 8 op-
posed.
As a result of the recent
rail and track bed up-
grades within sections
of the Rural Municipalities of
Perdue and Vanscoy,
Saskatchewan, Canadian Pa-
cific advises local residents
that the maximum operating
track speed will be raised
from 40 mph (64 kph) to 50
mph (80 kph), effective Janu-
ary 1, 2015. This change in
regulated track speed in-
cludes track that parallels
Highway 14. Communities
along this route include
Asquith, Perdue, and Keppel,
Sask.
Motorists are reminded when
approaching any grade cross-
ing:
• Always be prepared to stop
when approaching train
tracks.
• Do not attempt to drive
around activated crossing
gates.
• If a crossing has no flash-
ing lights or gates, look both
ways and ensure no trains
are approaching before enter-
ing the crossing.
• It takes 1-2 kms for a train
to come to a stop after the
brakes are applied.
• If your car stalls on the
tracks, get out, move off the
tracks, and call 911.
• Never walk on the railroad
tracks. The only legal place to
cross a railroad line is at a
marked grade crossing.

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL
Welcome to 2015! Time is flying
by and that must mean we are
having fun! December was
sure a fun month at preschool. The stu-
dents made stockings, wreaths, and or-
naments, both to celebrate 4, red, and
Christmas, and to decorate our class-
room. While we didn't participate in the
Christmas concert with Pike Lake
School this year due to a mix-up in
dates, we continued to practice our songs
and sang them for the parents and
Santa at our Christmas Party. I think
the kids enjoyed being able to sing for
Santa!
In January, the 4-year olds will be learn-
ing about the 5 senses. This is a fun
theme especially with the blind taste
and smell tests that they will do. We
will finish that up in February. The stu-
dents will also have some winter fun
learning about polar bears and having
fun with ice, as well as exploring the
colour white and the number 5.
That's all for this month. Stay warm!

fundraiser we really appreciate the sup-
port from our community!

dents will come with their classes to
“window shop” and see all the wonderful
books available for purchase. This gives
them the opportunity to see what is
available for purchase and create their
wish lists. Until February 6th students
will have opportunities to purchase from
their wish lists. The Book Fair will con-
tinue after school on Thursday, January
29th starting at 5:30 p.m. that evening.
The book viewing will also kick off A

come to come and see the Book Fair and

great price which also support the re-
newing of our wonderful library collec-

wards new books. In advance a HUGE

The pipe for rums’ up, at eleven in
the morning or between the sec-
ond and third watch for the old
salts; is no more. As the newspapers re-
ported; a red faced Admiral made the
announcement in order to recover the
gentle record of Canadian sailors when
ashore. Typical Brass response, but of
course that doesn’t mean that the ward-
rooms on board will go “dry” as well.
For the faint of heart, the “tot” of rum
was only about the size of the base of
ones thumb, hardly enough to throw the
ship’s company into rolling drunks. On
the other hand, that “tot” was a signifi-
cant part of naval tradition. It was care-
fully metered out by the cox’n under the
watchful eye of the officer of the day.
Many schemes were devised to save the
“tot” for a splurge ashore, although most
were more talk than action. Also as a
salve for mothers at home, only ratings
over twenty one received the “tot.” That
meant that yours truly served three
years and was discharged before my
twenty first birthday so I never quali-
fied. On the other-hand when King
George V inspected our destroyer he did
the traditional thing of ordering the
Captain to “splice the main-brace,” an
impossible action which signalled all rat-
ings got a “tot.”
The ratings on a Corvette or Destroyer
were crammed below decks like sardines
for weeks on end. It was small benefits,
like the “tot” of rum that made long
weeks at sea bearable even for those too
young to qualify. Some ratings ran
amok in San Diego and instead of using
the normal disciplinary channels plus
legal charges if that was needed, the
“red faced” Admiral went too far and re-
moved an hallowed tradition for no par-
ticular benefit and significant loss.
And while I’m at it I can easily find fault
with other changes. The black scarf in
memory of Lord Nelson is gone as is the
tight middle and collar with the three
white stripes: all signs of a seaman.
Now everyone wears a tailored suit that
has no relationship to sea-going sailors.
Ah well, traditions die just like “old
salts.”

On December 8th,
my colleague,
the Honourable
Greg Rickford, Minister
of Natural Resources,
announced the intro-
duction of the Pipeline
Safety Act. This Act in-
troduces legislative
measures to further en-
hance Canada’s world-
class pipeline safety
system.
The announcement
builds on previous ac-
tion taken by our Con-
servative Government
to prevent incidents,
including increasing
the number of annual
pipeline inspections
and audits conducted
by the National Energy
Board (NEB) and
strengthening the
Board’s enforcement
capabilities by giving it
authority to fine
pipeline operators for
smaller incidents.
Currently, 99.999 per-
cent of the oil trans-
ported through 73,000
kilometres of federally
regulated pipelines is
completed safely.
The Government’s lat-
est measures proposed
in the legislation intro-
duced today in the
House of Commons in-
clude:
· Introducing absolute
liability for all NEB-
regulated pipelines,
meaning that compa-
nies will be liable for
costs and damages irre-
spective of fault — up
to $1 billion for major
oil pipelines; companies
continue to have unlim-
ited liability when at
fault or negligent;
· Providing the NEB
authority to order re-
imbursement of any
cleanup costs incurred
by governments, com-
munities or individu-
als; and
· Providing the NEB
authority and re-
sources to assume con-
trol of incident
response if a company
is unable or unwilling
to do so (i.e., in excep-
tional circumstances).
Other non-legislative
actions being taken by
the Government of
Canada include:
· Developing a strategy
with industry and Abo-
riginal communities in
an effort to increase
Aboriginal Peoples’
participation in
pipeline safety opera-
tions, including plan-
ning, monitoring,
incident response and
related employment
and business opportu-
nities; and
· Seeking the NEB’s
guidance on the use of
the best available tech-
nologies used in feder-
ally regulated pipeline
projects. This includes
materials, construction
methods and emer-
gency response tech-
niques.
Minister Rickford
linked the improve-
ments to pipeline
safety to the Govern-
ment of Canada’s plan
for Responsible Re-
source Development,
which strengthens en-
vironmental protection,
enhances Aboriginal
engagement and
streamlines the review
of major resource proj-
ects to make the
process more timely
and predictable.
These new measures
enhance Canada’s al-
ready world-class
pipeline safety system
and build on the princi-
ples of incident preven-
tion, preparedness and
liability.

Population and Job Growth Continue
Not long ago, Saskatchewan's population
was in decline with many of our young
people leaving the province to find work
and raise their families elsewhere. Today,
thanks to the hard work and determina-
tion of our people, Saskatchewan is strong
and has a growing population that’s clos-
ing in on 1,130,000 – steady growth of
nearly 20,000 people per year since 2007.
The steady growth we’re experiencing cre-
ates both opportunities and challenges.
Despite recent economic volatility in the
price of oil, our government remains on
track to deliver another balanced budget.
This is in part thanks to a diverse econ-
omy and sound fiscal management.
Saskatchewan still enjoys the strongest
rate of job creation in the country – three
times the national average, and we have
enjoyed the country’s lowest unemploy-
ment rate for 24 straight months. A grow-
ing population and volatility will present
us with challenges, however a robust, di-
verse economy, continued tax relief for
families, and ongoing investments in in-
frastructure will help us rise to meet
these challenges and keep Saskatchewan
strong and moving forward.
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee
Program is an important part of a strong
and growing Saskatchewan. Our province
recently received a boost in the number of
nominations, bringing our 2014 nomina-
tion cap to 4,818 – a 218 per cent increase
since 2007. This reflects both our govern-
ment’s commitment to welcoming new-
comers to Saskatchewan as well as the
federal government's recognition of the
labour force shortage we face now and in
the future. It also reflects the fact that,
once the place to be from, Saskatchewan
is now the place to be.
We’ve got a strong working relationship
with the Government of Canada and we
thank them for responding to our needs
by increasing allocations and providing
more opportunities for immigrants and
their families to live, work and invest in
our growing province. The nomination cap
for 2015 will be increased to 5,500 – a
jump of 15 per cent over this year.
Premier's Service Club Awards
There is no doubt that Saskatchewan peo-
ple are Saskatchewan’s greatest strength.
When I think of the values that built this
province, I think of neighbours helping
neighbours and even strangers helping
strangers, particularly in a time of need.
These acts of kindness are part of who we
are and are among the many things that
make us proud to be from Saskatchewan.
Some of the greatest contributions to our
province are those that come from our
many service clubs. Just recently, the
first four recipients of the Premier’s new
Service Club Award were announced. The
Kinsmen & Kinettes (Meadow Lake),
Lions Club (Kipling & District), Elks
(Balgonie No. 572) and Young Fellows’
(Weyburn) are the inaugural recipients.
New nominations are now being accepted
for the award. Volunteer, non-profit serv-
ice clubs or fraternal organizations that
meet to perform charitable work either
by hands-on effort or by raising money
for other organizations are eligible. The
nomination deadline is Tuesday, Febru-
ary 17, 2015. Visit saskatchewan.ca/pre-
mierserviceclubaward to learn more.
Health Card Renewal Stickers
If you haven’t yet received your health
card renewal stickers, I would encourage
you to contact eHealth Saskatchewan be-
fore December 31st. The renewal pack-
ages, which were mailed out earlier this
fall, ensure residents are covered for a
variety of medical services.
The most common reason for not receiv-
ing renewal stickers is a change of ad-
dress that hasn’t been updated with
eHealth. To ensure your Saskatchewan
health coverage is not interrupted, you
can update your information at ehealth-
sask.ca or by calling 1-800-667-7551.
Merry Christmas – and best wishes for a
happy, healthy & prosperous New Year!

COMMUNITY REPORTS
In 2011, Nova Scotia native, Neil
Roston and his wife, Anita, moved
from Meadow Lake to Delisle. Little
did we know that they would bring
with them some of the finest elec-
tric blues and folk-rock music
Saskatchewan has ever heard.
Neil grew up in a house full of
music. His Dad's family were all
musicians... mostly guitar players.
But it wasn't until he was a
teenager that Neil got interested in
guitar playing himself. It was when
a friend of his brother's came over
and starting playing songs on the
guitar that were the music young
Neil liked to listen to that the gui-
tar finally held real appeal for him.
After that, there was no looking
back.
Completely self-taught, by the time
he was 17 years old, Neil was play-
ing blues on guitar. A naturally shy
kid, Neil found that the guitar
could be his voice. Through his
music he could express the
thoughts and emotions for which he
could find no words. But it took a
long time before he would find his
voice as a singer and songwriter as
well.
It was while singing along to his
favourite folk-rock musician, Ray
Lamontagne, that Neil discovered
he could sing like his mentor. This
revelation gave him the confidence
to start singing as well as playing
guitar. Lamontagne's music also in-
spired Neil to start writing his own
songs. Now, nearly half of his regu-
lar play list is songs he has written
himself. He writes about his own
experiences – things that have hap-
pened to him. “It's often the hard
things, when you're going through
stuff, that provides the inspiration
for song-writing,” says Roston. Now,
happily married and father to a
two-year old son, Ryan, he says it's
getting harder to write: “The words
don't flow as freely as they used to.”
But Neil's not complaining. He
loves living in Delisle and enjoying
the quiet, peacefulness of life here.
Another advantage of moving to
Delisle is that it allowed him to
form the Neil Roston Band with fel-
low jam session artists, Lynn Victo-
ria (bass) and Brett Williams
(drums). The three of them met at
the Saturday night jam sessions at
Buds on Broadway. They have been
playing together now for about
three years and are planning to
record their first professional album
as soon as they can secure the fund-
ing.
When asked what advice he would
give to someone just starting out in
music, Neil said, “If you want to
play an instrument, find the music
you love and play that.” It was
hearing his music on guitar that in-
spired Neil to start playing. It all
comes down to the love of the
music.
The Neil Roston Band clearly do
love the music they play... and you
will too! Don't miss the next Friday
Night Concert Series performance
with the Neil Roston Band, live at
the United Church in Delisle (316-
1st Street West) on January 23rd at
7:30pm. Concert Series seasons
passes are available by calling
Sylvia Chave at 493-2955 (at $40
for the remaining 3 concerts it's still
a bargain!), or tickets can be pur-
chased at the door for $15 each. If
you need a ride to the concert, call
Sylvia to arrange this.

Amazing SpaceDelisle & District Arts Council Report By Jordan Cantwell
At the end of Oc-
tober the former
board members
stepped down and a
new board was elected.
Thanks to Brett
LaRoche and Paul
Yanko for their com-
mitment over the last
few years. A new Vice
President, Bonnie Ross,
and secretary, Tracy
Williams-Duerr, were
appointed to the board
at that time. Dawn
Steves is still treasurer
of the Board. We are
still looking for a Presi-
dent if someone is in-
terested in the position.
Our last meeting was
held on December 17th.
Reports were heard
from each of the groups
attending the meeting.
Seniors held their an-
nual Christmas supper
on the December 7th
and had 84 in atten-
dance with the Delisle
Travel Club serving the
food. The Vanscoy 4H
have sent the 2015
community Calendars
to the printers, look for
them coming soon.
Bowbusters Archery
has 30 kids in their
JOP program and will
be starting an Adult
shoot in January on
Tuesday evenings.
Minor Hockey reports
that the ice is now
ready. We have worked
with Minor Hockey and
have hired a rink care-
taker and booth con-
veyor, we welcome
Wendell Ebbert to our
team. The Shiverdome
Committee discussed
doing another raffle
this winter/spring, and
are looking for people
to help. The Village
Council reported that
they have a new coun-
cil member, Shelley
Lyons. Vanscoy Ag So-
ciety, Soccer and RM
Council were not in at-
tendance and no re-
ports submitted.
As a board we dis-
cussed the New Year’s
Party at the Arena and
no volunteer stepped
up to coordinate so we
were unable to make
this happen this year.
We are working on the
Family Day Skate and
Movie Night in
Vanscoy on February
16th, watch for updates
on our Facebook page
and posters around
town.
A Hall Committee was
formed and discussed a
plan to start some
much needed renova-
tions/facelift for the
Hall. The Arena has
seen some renovations
and painting over the
last little bit, stop in
and see what they have
done.
Thanks to the board
members, representa-
tives and community
volunteers who help
make Vanscoy a great
place to call home. If
you are interested in
helping or have skills
that may be an asset to
any of our groups or
board please let us
know, we welcome any
help.

Board Report - December 2014
Asquith is a car-
ing town, full of
good neighbors.
The community of
Asquith has proved it
by their tremendous re-
sponse to Operation
Santa! Groceries, toys,
baked Christmas
goods, knitted mitts
and toques and cash
donations were re-
ceived, allowing Opera-
tion Santa to make
Christmas and grocery
hampers. Maple Leaf,
thanks to Doug Hau-
grud, made up meat
hampers and Saputo,
thanks to Patty Mry-
glod, donated cheese
and milk for the fami-
lies as well.
This year we provided
hampers and groceries
to THIRTEEN family
units, in which there
were 25 children. Peo-
ple who received the
hampers have ex-
pressed thanks again
and again. You met a
physical need and
touched many hearts!
Money received went
directly to the hampers
and was spent at local
merchants.
Organizations that we
would like to thank
specifically are: The
Asquith Baptist
Church, The Asquith
Legion, The United
Church, St. Theresa’s
Parish, Asquith Elks
and the BLRA. A spe-
cial thank you has to go
out to the Asquith Gen-
eral Store and the
Asquith Co-operative
Association, who spe-
cial ordered in some
staples and who also
donated some of the
food stuffs!! You guys
are great!!
Individuals who made
cash donations were
Joan Dahlseide, Gerry
Anderson, Janet Eng-
land, Mel and Mary
Ellen Moline, Lillian
Demyen, Dorothy Bur-
well, Helen Shriek and
several anonymous
donors. Thanks to
Patty and Kelly Wolfe
who donated cheese,
and Leona Dumont and
Donna Laye knitted
beautiful scarves,
toques and mitts to
keep many a child
warm this cold Christ-
mas season. Thanks to
Donna and Dan Sey-
mour for donating po-
tatoes and squash from
their garden, it will be
much appreciated by
the families! The
Asquith Baptist
Church donated a
space for sorting and
distributing the ham-
pers.
A special thank you
goes to the elves Josh
Goetz, Jason Ottman,
Shirley Nygren,
Melissa Nygren,
Reuben Ditmars, Lloyd
Cross and Darren Kraft
for sorting and deliver-
ing the Christmas
hampers. Their hard
work ensured that
those in our community
who needed the ham-
pers received them.
We hope that the spirit
of “Operation Santa”
will be a continuing
success in 2015.
Asquith and the sur-
rounding area is a won-
derful community and
we thank you for your
help and support in
helping Christmas be a
little bit brighter for
many in our commu-
nity!

Operation Santa Says Thank You
RM Review10 January 2015 www.rmreview.net
Local Vet Appreciated
Aresident from
the Asquith area
recently faced a
dilemma when a sickly
stray cat wandered into
his yard. After at-
tempting to nurse the
animal back to health
for a couple of weeks, it
became apparent that
the animal was not
going to get better. He
took it to Corman Park
Veterinary Services
and a determination
was made to euthanize
the animal.
The good samaritan ap-
preciated the humane
actions of the local vet-
erinary service and was
pleasantly surprised
when the vet waived
the normal fee for the
procedure.
