Still Together After 70 YearsStory on Page 3

By Sgt. Murray McCracken

RM of Vanscoy Police

This is the first instalment of the Chief’s Corner

and I would like to start by thanking our very

gracious newspaper editor, reporter, and owner

Ken Sowter for offering me the opportunity to provide

the rural community readers, residing west of Saska-

toon, with information on a multitude of policing mat-

ters; including updates on police activities, news and

events within the Rural Municipality of Vanscoy.

If there were a title for this, my first article, with the

paper it would be; “Get to Know Your Chief’. That is if

my monthly contribution to the newspaper had a main

headline. Hopefully, this monthly section will en-

lighten, and even entertain you, from month to month.

So you may ask, who is the new Chief and why is he

writing in our newspaper? I’m glad you asked and I

will give you an answer to that question shortly, but

first I have to say something about our past Chief,

Glenn Thompson.

Glenn was the Chief of Police for, as many of you have

commented, “as long as we can remember”. His dedica-

tion to the people within the rural municipality is evi-

denced by how many people knew Glenn on a first

hand basis. Glenn epitomized an important part of

policing a community, and that is “getting to know as

many people within the community as possible’.

That is a good description of how Glenn did his job as

the Chief for the past fourteen years. Glenn was known

by just about everyone in the RM of Vanscoy and sur-

rounding areas, and he was always there to provide

you with assistance in any circumstance. I hope that I

will be able to do the same.

While I was employed in the RCMP, at Warman, and

later Radisson Detachments, I had the opportunity to

work with Glenn on many investigations, projects and

other policing matters. I always found Glenn to be ac-

commodating, engaging and willing to share his wealth

of knowledge about the Rural Municipality of Vanscoy.

His extensive police experience showed in the way he

handled each situation with compassion, understand-

ing, vision and conviction. I want to wish Glenn, and

his wife Wendy a very happy retirement at the lake.

So, who is the new Chief of Police in the RM of Vanscoy

anyway?

Well to start with, many of you already know me, or

know that I was a member of the RCMP. I was posted

throughout Saskatchewan for the better part of my 28-

year career as a Mountie and I made many friends

throughout this wonderful and friendly Province which

we call home. The last ten of those years, while I was

stationed at Warman detachment, and later at Radis-

son, I spent right here policing the RM of Vanscoy. So, I

may be new to the position but not to the area.

I am originally from Ottawa, Ontario. I was stationed

in Saskatchewan after graduating from Depot Academy

in Regina, Sk in 1987. I am married, and my wife and I

have four children. I have resided in Martensville, Sk

for the past ten and half years.

I am a very engaging type of person, so if you see me

out and about, please stop to say hi, tell me who you

are, and where you live and share with me any policing

concerns you may have within the Municipality. We

will probably end up talking about hockey so make sure

you are up to date on the Montreal Canadiens! You can

also contact me directly on my phone at: 306-291-6050.

In future articles I will provide updates on local crimes

of interest for you, and may enlist your help in provid-

ing the police with any tips that may lead to solving an

occurrence.

I will also discuss certain questions about Provincial

and Municipal Laws, some of which may also be of in-

terest to you, and I will also provide you with the an-

swers to those questions to the best of my knowledge

and experience.

Remember, to offer a wave to me while I patrol the

back roads and highways of the Municipality. I will be

driving in easily the most recognizable white truck that

you will ever see, one, which Glenn so handsomely

decked out for us before he retired.

The RM Review “Your COMMUNITY, Your NEWSPAPER” www.rmreview.net

Another year has gone by and typically one re-

flects on the past year and makes resolutions for

the next.

Every year I can look back and feel blessed for the

life I have been given, though last year I had a

crazy string of bad luck, causing me much stress,

consuming much of my time, and costing me

countless thousands of dollars. So when recently

asked if I had made any resolutions, I replied

“Ya... this year I resolve to not do any of the

crap that I did last year !”

Though that is probably a sound resolution for

me, I have since given it some more thought.

On the facing page you can read an article about

Walter Howe who has just turned 95 years old.

It is not the past, 20 years of good health that he

has enjoyed that amazes me, but it is the first 20

years of his life. Growing up alone, abused and

churned through World War II.... that is amazing.

The following 75 years have probably been the

easiest.

As I watch what is unfolding in the world today,

my guess is that the coming many years are going

to be worse for us than the previous decades.

Maybe some of the bad actors in the world today

will resolve to “not do any of the crap THEY

did last year ! “ We can only hope.

Happy New Year,

Ken Sowter - Editor

ChIEF’S CORNERGet to Know your Chief

RM Review 3January 2016www.rmreview.net

We may have

thought that the

Harper govern-

ment had hit the low spot

in using “hate” as an elec-

tion wedge issue. It turns

out he was just an ama-

teur playing a big-boy’s

game. Even though

enough Canadians heard

his diatribe to give the To-

ries a respectable show-

ing, it didn’t register with

the majority.

We now have the master

of demagoguery in the US

with Trump making daily

statements designed to

cause every red-neck and

many others to stand up

and cheer. That any ra-

tional person would be

taken in by Trump’s rant-

ing’s makes one realize

how fragile the US demo-

cratic structure has be-

come. The statements

about exporting millions

of Mexicans and barring

anybody of the Muslim

faith is dramatically so off

the charts that Trump is

close to being rated as un-

balanced.

The fact that the Republi-

can Party seem unable to

do anything about his out-

landish pronouncements

seems particularly weak.

It is somewhat reminis-

cent of the ravings of

Hitler and Mussolini in

their heyday. I keep re-

minding myself that the

American public will fi-

nally discard Trump and

his rhetoric, although the

road ahead is still murky.

Unfortunately the US sit-

uation is not isolated.

Several European govern-

ments are struggling with

right wing extremists that

spell trouble for their

democratic structures.

Even Germany, the most

stable of them all is slip-

ping into political difficul-

ties.

ISIS is succeeding in

sending turmoil through-

out the Western nations,

with hate being the tool.

Opinions expressed here

are those of the author.

Walter and Ellie Howe of Delisle Celebrate their

70th Wedding Anniversary,

just a week before Walter’s 95th Birthday

Walter and Ellie howe Celebrated

70 Years of Marriage December 29th

Walter and Ellie

Howe of Delisle re-

cently celebrated

their 70th wedding anniver-

sary.

Walter met Ellie in Holland

during World War II,

Walter landed in Juno

Beach just after D-Day. He

worked his way across Eu-

rope and was involved in the

liberation of France, for

which he was recently ap-

pointed a Knight of the Na-

tional Order of the Legion of

Honour, and received a

medal commemorating his

involvement. This is the

highest honour France can

award.

After the war, in 1945, Wal-

ter and Ellie were married

in Rolde, Drenta, Holland

and Walter returned to

Canada a week later. Ellie

followed a year later, with

their first child in tow.

They lived in Outlook for a

short while before purchas-

ing a farm at Gledhow,

south of Pike Lake, where

they farmed for 33 years.

Here they had 4 more chil-

dren, two of whom were born

at the Outlook hospital,

which, in the day, was noth-

ing more than a two story

house. They

had 2 more

children

that were

born in

Saskatoon.

Along with

their 5 chil-

dren, they

now have 13

grandchil-

dren, 22

great-grandchildren and one

great-great-grandchild.

In 1980 they retired from

farming and moved into a

new house in Delisle, which

they still live

in today.

The happy

couple also

celebrated

Walter’s 95th

birthday on

January 6th.

Walter, who

is also uncle

to “Mr.

Hockey” Gordie Howe, was

born in Clavet and lost his

mother when he was 4, and

his elderly father sent him

off to a hard life, living and

working on various farms in

the Clavet area.

It wasn’t until he was 17

years old when he finally

met his older sister.

“He had a hard life” says his

wife Ellie, “and he never had

anyone to love him while he

was growing up. I have

given him all the love he

needed for 70 years, and we

are both still here to prove

it”.

RCMP REPORT

Here are some things that have happened in

Delisle Elementary School lately. Our school

has started going skating, but only a few

classes have gone so far. Soon, everyone will have had

a turn to go skating. On December 3, we had our

Christmas Craft & Bake Sale! Everyone got to go to

the library and choose different items or treats and

wrap them up as gifts for their families and/or friends.

Miss Wickenden’s grade 2 class just recently got to go

to the Western Development Museum where they went

to the festival of trees and had a tour through Boom-

town. The grade 3 and 4 classes have put together an

amazing play about Christmas around the world. It

was performed December 8 and 9. Miss Lucyshyn’s

grade 3 class when to the Western Development Mu-

seum too. Afterwards, they went to a Singing with

Sylvia concert and they had lots of fun.

Here are some things coming up in our school. We get

to have another hot meal! It will be on December 16.

We get to enjoy the turkey or ham dinner (it’s a choice)

and dress Christmasy. As it is getting close to Christ-

mas, Christmas break is coming up! Our last day be-

fore the holidays is on December 18. The break starts

on the 21st and ends January 1, so the classes will

start again on January 4.

Now for class interviews…the grade 5’s have the spot-

light this month! Some of the things they are working

on right now are learning to divide a 3-digit number by

a 1-digit number, in phys. Ed. they are doing volleyball

and dancing, and they are also all doing a book talk by

the end of the year. They are learning a cup song, but

changing the words to a Christmas song so they can

perform it for the staff. Some other things they have

done that they enjoyed are: doing science experiments,

playing dodgeball, going to Mr. Reis’ class for math and

learning FOIL for multiplication and using Caroll Dia-

grams.

Some things they like about their school and class this

year are: the comfy spots in their room for reading, the

schedule on the whiteboard so that they know what is

coming next in the day, and that they have lots of

guests to teach them in different ways. They like doing

spelling tests and having such a wide variety of books

so they can find a just-right book no matter how differ-

ent their interests are. We are glad to hear that the

grade 5’s are enjoying the year.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Although the 2016

year has just newly started, we have begun the

last half of our school year! We had a nice

Christmas break and we are now ready to settle into

the routine of the school day once again!

We would like to thank all those who came out and

supported our Christmas concert and share in some

neighbourly festivity. We had a most wonderful turn

out for both performances and learned a lot while

preparing and acting out our play! Our thanks to the

folks who set up the stage, to the PLCSA for their treat

bag donation and use of their stage, to the Pike Lake

SCC for the wonderful post-concert treats, to the local

alumni boys who carried the piano back and forth from

the school, the Grade 3-4 students for their painting of

the backdrop and to Bev Kobelsky for the use of some

costumes. We especially enjoyed the visit from Santa

and Mrs. Claus and are grateful they took time out of

their busy schedules to say hello to our community chil-

dren! Of course, our thanks must go to the students

and staff who gave it their all in putting on this annual

Christmas show! A job well done everyone!

Once all the theatrical excitement was over, we were

able to chill down and get comfy in our pajamas the

next school day! Pajamas at school? For sure! It was

certainly a nice way to relax after some pretty concen-

trated acting accomplishments!

Pike Lake students are really good at keeping secrets!

We were able to throw a surprise wedding and New

Year’s party for our principal, Diana Jemieff! It was a

blast pretending we were at her wedding dance and

bringing in the New Year with an almost real count-

down! The festive occasion came complete with crack-

ers, special party hats (veil included), dancing,

appetizers and sparkling fruit juice in champagne

glasses! We hope that Ms. Jemieff and her new hus-

band will be able to enjoy all the suggestions we gave

for some special date night nights! Congratulations

Diana and Ian on the start of your new life together!

Although January can be a pretty low key month, we

have some exciting things to look forward to as is typi-

cal for our small school! January 22nd will be filled

with some school and community fun! We will get into

some “In Tents” reading with our buddies! Yes, you

read that right! We will be setting up some tents,

crawling inside and sharing some of our favourite

books with each other! Now that just invites the cozy

warmth of literacy for everyone!

Also on Friday, January 22nd, our Hot Meal parents

will be hosting a community hot meal for everyone to

take part in! This will be the second annual event and

the invitation goes out to all our school and community

members to come down and see how our big hearted

school is doing! It is a FREE event and we hope you

will bring your neighbours to join us at this special

meal! See you there!

Here is a list of upcoming happenings for our school:

January 4 – Welcome Back from Christmas Break

January 14 – SCC Meeting @ 3:50 p.m.

January 22 – “In Tents” Reading

– Hot Meal

January 29 – NO SCHOOL Semester Turn Around Day

February 2 – Visit to DES to see David Bouchard (chil-

dren’s author)

Welcome to 2016! I hope everyone enjoyed their

Christmas. I know I loved having some time

off, enjoying it with my family and friends,

and not always rushing off to the next event.

December was a lot of fun at preschool, celebrating

Christmas with decorations, crafts, trees, stockings,

and Santa. I love the looks on the students' faces when

Santa walks into the room ringing his jingle bells! The

kids did a great job singing their Christmas songs for

Santa at our Christmas party and I think they enjoyed

their gifts from him as well. Thank you to all the par-

ents for helping out at our party. I love having the

extra help on a party day!

January finds us with 3 new students, all of them 3-

years old. Therefore, I've made a new class just for the

3's. They will now come Friday mornings and the 4-

year olds will come Tuesday mornings and Friday af-

ternoons. It's great to see so many young ones!

In January, we will talk about winter, the colour white

(of course!), and the number 5. The 4-year olds will

also start a unit on safety, hopefully with a field trip to

the fire hall. I'm also hoping this mild weather will

continue so we can spend some time outside.

Have a great January!

3-year old days: January 8, 15, 22

CONSUMER’S CORNERINSURE A GREAT VACATION

A Few Simple StepS will mAke Sure You HAve A StreSS Free HolidAY

Going away for vacation or planning to enjoy your

winter somewhere warm?

There are several insurance related items you need to

consider prior to departure, regarding your home, auto

and medical insurance.

Your home insurance has coverage conditions or war-

ranties that must be met when you are leaving home

for an extended period of time. Cold winter tempera-

tures can cause pipes to freeze and burst, putting your

home at serious risk of water damage in the event of a

heating system failure. A standard policy requirement

is when you are gone for more than 4 days then you

must do at least one of the following: 1) turn off water

supply and drain all pipes, fixtures, appliances 2) have

someone competent and reliable check on your property

daily 3) have your home electronically monitored 24

hours per day by a company that monitors and re-

sponds to a low temperature signal.

You should also take some simple steps to secure your

property from burglars. It's important to make your

home appear inhabited while you are away. You can

enlist the help of trusted neighbours, family and

friends. You can tell your neighbours when you will be

away and who they should expect to visit in your ab-

sence (including any vehicle description, names and

emergency contact numbers). Don't talk about your va-

cation plans with strangers or service people. Lock your

doors and windows, and make arrangements to have

snow cleared.

If you plan to operate a motor vehicle while travelling

then consider additional automobile liability coverage.

Your basic SGI licence plate provides only the legal

minimum $200,000 liability limit. An automobile pol-

icy (Auto Pak) protects you and your family when

$200,000 from the licence plate isn’t enough. If you

travel outside Saskatchewan, then you’re at higher risk

of being sued after an accident that causes severe in-

jury or death for potentially far more than $200,000!

Consider adding the “Journey” option, a 30 day cover-

age bundle that can be added to your existing annual

Auto Pak policy which increases liability to $5 million

and $2,000 loss of use for only $30 (great solution for

those renting a vehicle in USA).

Travel medical insurance protects you from expensive

medical emergencies (such as hospitalization, surgery

or ambulance costs) along with trip cancellation (for

prepaid vacation expenses). Travel insurance contains

exclusions that should be carefully reviewed in detail,

especially relating to pre-existing medical conditions.

Most policies do not cover travelers for conditions that

existed prior to departure unless they are "stable". You

must understand the definition of "stable" in your pol-

icy. You must also notify your insurance provider in the

event your health changes after you purchase a policy

but before you travel. Mooney Agencies offers person-

alized travel insurance solutions through Travel Un-

derwriters & Blue Cross.

Bon voyage!

There’s a fine – and

often subjective—

line between “vin-

tage” and “dated” when it

comes to home features.

Buyers tend to be willing

to pay more for a contem-

porary-looking property.

But how do you determine

whether to invest in an

update? Here are a few

features it’s pretty safe to

say are long past their ex-

piration date.

1. Popcorn ceilings

Also known as acoustic, or

cottage cheese ceilings,

they were styled using a

popular spray-on ceiling

finish for decades. Fortu-

nately, the finish is easy

enough to remove using a

variety of DIY methods.

2. Tiled countertops

Even if they’re not from

the 40s or 50s, once you’ve

wasted time scrubbing

grout clean, you’ll under-

stand why these should

go.

3. Brass

Back in the 80s, brass fix-

tures shone from every-

where they could be

screwed or plugged in.

That kind of home bling

worked back when every-

one wondered who shot

J.R. To appeal to today’s

buyer, update to a more

neutral shade such as

black or gray, or

you can go with

the very trendy

copper.

4. Mauve

Also known as

dusty rose, in

the 80s this

color infested

everything from

walls and car-

pets to Don Johnson’s

“Miami Vice” blazers. Try

swapping out for more

neutral colors.

5. Short backsplashes

Popular in the 90s, col-

ored glass and funky tile

short backsplashes added

color to kitchens. But they

also visually shortened

the kitchen walls. Replace

them with tiles that reach

all the way to the ceiling

to make the space look

larger.

6. Light wood cabinets

They were everywhere in

the 90s, but are a quick,

inexpensive update. Just

grab some paint or stain

from the hardware store.

7. Wood paneling

Generally speaking, if you

can envision Marsha,

Cindy and Jan giggling in

front of it, it needs to go.

Not sure what to scrape,

paint or replace? Your Re-

altor can help suggest

what updates may be

worth the investment.

In the 2015 growing

season we faced some

challenges with feed

quantity and quality. The

below average precipita-

tion in spring and early

summer this year led to

decreased hay and pas-

ture yields and issues

with annual crop estab-

lishment and yields. We

were short on moisture

when we needed it the

most. It wasn’t until the

end of July or the begin-

ning of August that we

started to see these condi-

tions improve, which was

too late for the hay crops.

This means you probably

have less hay and may be

considering the use of an-

nual crops or other alter-

nate feed sources as part

of your winter ration. An-

other challenge was the

relatively early frost,

which started happening

by the middle of Septem-

ber. This brought on the

potential to cause nitrate

accumulation in some of

the still standing crops.

The question then be-

comes how do you meet

the nutritional require-

ments of the herd with

the feed that you have?

First you need to deter-

mine what your feed

sources are. The feed

sources that are available

to you could be any num-

ber of things and may be

different this year from

other years. This could

include hay, greenfeed,

annual crop hay or silage,

straw, screenings, pellets

or grain. There are some

precautions to take when

using different feedstuffs.

It is important to supply

adequate levels of protein

and energy as well as

minerals and vitamins

through the diet. When

using annual crops as

silage or greenfeed be

aware that some of these

crops more readily accu-

mulate nitrates when put

under stresses such as

frost. They may contain

high levels of starch,

which could cause diges-

tive upset or acidosis.

These feeds also need to

be supplemented with a

mineral package to bal-

ance mineral require-

ments. Straw is a low

quality feed, low in pro-

tein and energy and high

in fibre. Cattle will only

consume so much straw

due to its fibre content.

Energy and protein will

need to be supplemented

when feeding straw. Dif-

ferent types of hay can

provide adequate nutri-

tion through most of the

winter. Lower quality

hays have some of the

same issues as straw. As

the cow moves in to the

third trimester of preg-

nancy her nutrient re-

quirements increase. You

may need to supplement

protein, energy and min-

erals as straw and low

quality hay may not be

able to provide adequate

levels of these nutrients.

Energy and protein can be

supplemented with differ-

ent types of grains, pel-

lets, screenings or by

products. Minerals can be

provided as a loose min-

eral mixed in with the

feed or as a lick tub. The

mineral mix should match

the forage that is being

fed. For example a hay

ration typically requires

the addition of a 1:1 min-

eral and a silage, green-

feed, or straw-grain ration

generally requires the ad-

dition of a 2:1 mineral.

The best way to deter-

mine what nutrients you

are providing and what

needs to be supplemented

is by having your feed

tested. You can then use

the feed test results to

create a ration that meets

the nutritional require-

ments of your cattle.

Feeding Beef Cows Through

the Challenges of 2015 - 16

Jessica Smith, P.Ag.


Many producers

will be supple-

mental feeding

cows with hay and grain

milling byproducts

through the wintering pe-

riod. An often overlooked

aspect of supplementing

cattle while they are still

on pastureland is the ad-

ditional mineral nutrients

that pass through the ani-

mal to the pasture in the

manure.

The majority of the nutri-

ents consumed by cattle

are redeposited on pas-

ture in urine and feces.

Urine typically contains

more than 50 percent of

the total nitrogen and

potassium excreted by

cattle. Conversely, feces

contain 80 percent of the

total phosphorus excreted

by cattle.

Capturing the fertilizer

value in supplemental

feeds is particularly im-

portant with high fertil-

izer prices. The table

below provides estimates

of the fertilizer value of

the nutrients fed a cow for

100 days.

Estimated fertilizer value

of selected supplemental

feeds fed to one cow for

100 days.

Using the nutrient values

from the above table, 100

head of cattle supple-

mented for 100 days

would leave behind

$5,557.00 (grass hay) and

$6805.00 (alfalfa hay)

worth of fertilizer at

today’s prices. In compari-

son, 100 days of supple-

mental feeding 100 cows

with 8 lbs/day of dried

distillers grain would

leave behind $1352.00 in

fertilizer value.

There are some chal-

lenges when using the

cow as a fertilizer (ma-

nure) spreader. Animals

typically do a poor job of

distributing nutrients

evenly around a pasture;

nutrients tend to concen-

trate near feeders, water

and shade areas. The bulk

of the pasture gets only

limited benefits from ma-

nure nutrients unless

steps are taken to im-

prove manure distribution

by grazing animals.

Through management

producers can improve

nutrient distribution in

pastures. Managing ani-

mals so they do a better

job of distributing manure

makes their manure more

valuable as a fertilizer.

Recommended steps in-

clude:

-Regularly move

feeders and feeding areas

around.

-Do not use the

same area for supplemen-

tal feeding every year. In-

stead move the

supplemental feeding

area to distribute the nu-

trient benefits around the

farm.

Capturing the fertilizer

benefit of nutrients in

supplemental feed re-

quires moving feeding

areas on a regular basis.

You cannot fertilize a

field with a manure

spreader by just running

the spreader in a corner of

the field. Similarly, you

cannot benefit from the

fertilizer nutrients in your

supplemental feeds if you

always put the feeder in

the same spot in a pas-

ture.

Saskatchewan Continues to Post

Strong Population Growth

New figures from Statistics Canada

show the number of people living in

Saskatchewan grew by 5,242 to an all-

time high of 1,138,879 in the third quar-

ter of 2015. Saskatchewan’s population

has now grown by 146,000 people over

the past decade, after declining by

nearly 24,000 over the previous decade.

While we are facing serious challenges

in the energy sector, Saskatchewan’s di-

verse economy continues to create new

jobs and our population continues to

grow. That’s a big difference from a

decade ago, when a downturn in one sec-

tor would mean fewer jobs and a declin-

ing population.

$100 Million in Savings

for New Schools

Eighteen new elementary schools are on

track to welcome students in

Saskatchewan’s fastest-growing commu-

nities by September 2017. In a report

prepared by KPMG, independent finan-

cial experts confirm the Public Private

Partnership (P3) model will save taxpay-

ers $100 million compared to a tradi-

tional model.

A total investment of $635 million (in

today’s dollars) includes the cost of de-

sign, construction, finance and more

than 30 years of maintenance to ensure

these schools remain in like-new condi-

tion. KPMG’s report confirms the same

project would have cost $735 million if it

was delivered through a traditional ap-

proach.

40 Saskatchewan companies are now at

work on the province’s largest schools

build in history, a project recently hon-

oured by the Canadian Council for Pub-

lic Private Partnerships at their national

awards.

Students, families, and communities can

see the incredible progress being made

with the launch of construction site web-

cams. The high definition cameras pro-

vide continuous still photo video of

school construction sites 24 hours a day,

seven days a week. You can view them

online at saskatchewan.ca.

Provincial Parks Set New

Visitation Record in 2015

Saskatchewan’s provincial parks and

recreation sites hit a new attendance

record of nearly 3.9 million visits in

2015. Strong visitation can be attributed

in part to the province continuing to pro-

vide excellent visitor services and the

enhanced capital infrastructure invest-

ment. Our government is committed to

investing in park infrastructure to sup-

port the current demand and future

growth of visitation.

Since 2007-08, our government has in-

vested nearly $92 million in upgrades

and improvements to provincial park in-

frastructure. Projects include the devel-

opment of two new campgrounds, up-

grading or replacement of service cen-

tres, extensive campsite electrical

expansion and upgrading, water and

wastewater system upgrades, new and

enhanced boat launches, and new camp-

site furnishings.

The opportunity to spend time with fam-

ily and friends in a beautiful, natural

setting is very important to the people of

our province, and is only growing in pop-

ularity. We are proud to offer high-qual-

ity experiences and are always looking

at ways that we can enhance our offer-

ings.

Provincial Parks Announce Dates

for 2016 Seasonal Camping Program

If you’re dreaming of summer as the

winter weather starts settling in, there

are a few dates you may want to circle

on the calendar for 2016.

Application forms for seasonal campsites

will be available online at

www.saskparks.net beginning Monday,

January 4, 2016. The deadline for appli-

cations is Thursday, January 28, 2016

and the draw to award the campsites

will be Monday, February 1, 2016.

Seasonal camping offers the opportunity

to secure a campsite from mid-May to

the end of August, or even into Septem-

ber at some of the 20 parks and recre-

ation sites that offer the program. Due

to the popularity of seasonal camping,

sites are allocated via a lottery system.

Due to the spring election, the dates for

the nightly camping reservation launch

will move to April. It will follow the

same format as 2015, utilizing a queuing

system and staggering the launch over a

10 day period. More information about

the launch will be available early in

2016.

ful year yet— wraps up this week.

George spent the year successfully show-

casing Saskatchewan as a great place to

live, work and play, gaining more than

20,000 followers since January through

Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Ashlyn took the Saskatchewanderer pro-

gram to another level and made a last-

ing impression wherever she travelled.

Operators consistently shared with

Tourism Saskatchewan their apprecia-

tion of her knowledge, enthusiasm and

genuine interest in the work that drives

Saskatchewan’s tourism sector.

Saskatchewanderer partners are cur-

rently choosing who will travel the

province next year. You can follow their

adventures online at saskatchewan-

derer.ca, on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter

December 8, 2015, TORONTO

STARS and Ornge air ambulance serv-

ices are partnering to raise awareness of

snowmobile safety in an effort to reduce

snowmobile related injuries and fatali-

ties in Canada this winter season. The

partnership marks the first time two air

ambulance services in Canada have

jointly promoted safe riding.

Since 2013, Ornge has transported more

than 140 patients related to snowmobile

trauma. During this same time period,

STARS responded to 46 snowmobile re-

lated emergencies.

“STARS and Ornge share a common goal

of saving lives across Canada,” says

STARS president and CEO Andrea

Robertson. “By partnering together we

want to increase safety for Canadians

who use snowmobiles for work and

recreation.”

Snowmobile enthusiasts need to make

informed and proactive snowmobile-re-

lated decisions to improve the wellbeing

of passengers and drivers. STARS and

Ornge encourage riders to obtain safety

training and drive sober.

“Ornge responds to hundreds of snowmo-

bile and recreational vehicle trauma,”

says Dr. Andrew McCallum, President

and CEO of Ornge. “One is too many.

Through our partnership with STARS,

we want to emphasize the importance of

making informed and safe decisions

while enjoying the trails this winter sea-

son. ”

To arrive home safely, snowmobilers are

encouraged to:

· Know the scenario, and expect the

unexpected.

· Spread out to avoid collisions.

· Be vigilant and remain situation-

ally aware.

· Stay on the trail and keep to the

right.

· Pack an emergency kit to prepare

for emergency situations.

· Drive sober.

· Ride within your abilities and rec-

ognize potential hidden hazards includ-

ing barbed wire fences, railway tracks,

steep drops and avalanche areas.

· Be mindful of changing weather

conditions, thin ice and poor visibility.

· Wear appropriate safety gear.

· Avoid riding in unfamiliar areas

at night.

· Take precautions to

protect against hypother-

mia, frostbite and snow

blindness.

· Take extra care

when carrying passengers

and only use snowmobiles

designed for that purpose

and carry one passenger at

a time.

· Let someone know

where you will be, and

when you expect to return.

· Avoid riding alone.

· Carry GPS, an emer-

gency beacon, avalanche

airbag (where appropriate),

radio, first aid kit, tow

rope, saws, extra clothing

and rations.

· Maintain equipment

in good working order.

· Take a safety course.

Flight crew members from

both organizations are

available to speak with

media today at bases

across Ontario, Manitoba,

Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Learn more about snowmo-

bile safety by visiting the

Canadian Council of Snow-

mobile Organizations’ web-

site at www.ccso-ccom.ca

Asquith is a caring town, full of

good neighbors. The community

of Asquith has proved it by their

tremendous response to Operation

Santa! Groceries, toys, knitted mitts

and toques and cash donations were re-

ceived, allowing Operation Santa to

make Christmas and grocery hampers.

Maple Leaf, thanks to Doug and Crystal

Haugrud, made up meat hampers.

This year we provided hampers and gro-

ceries to SIXTEEN family units, in

which there were 24 children. People

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 mer-

chants.

Organizations that we would like to

thank specifically are: The Asquith Bap-

tist Church, The Asquith Legion, The

United Church, St. Theresa’s Parish,

Asquith Elks and the BLRA. A special

thank you has to go out to the Asquith

General Store and the Asquith Co-opera-

tive Association, who special ordered in

some staples and who also donated some

of the food stuffs!! You guys are great!!

Individuals who made cash donations

were Brenda Friesen, Gerry Anderson,

Janet and Randy England, Lillian De-

myen, Ann Nelson, Al and Diane Hau-

grud, Dave Anderson and several

anonymous donors. Thanks to Leona Du-

mont, Donna Laye, and Faye Fawcett

knitted beautiful scarves, toques and

mitts to keep many a child warm this

cold Christmas season. Thanks to

Donna and Dan Seymour and Jen

Mason for donating potatoes from their

garden, it will be much appreciated by

the families! The Asquith Baptist

Church donated a space for sorting and

distributing the hampers.

A special thank you goes to the elves

Josh Goetz, Dennis and Doreen Sum-

mach, Jeff and Dierdre Zacharias,

Elaine Rousell, Lloyd Cross and Darren

Kraft for sorting and delivering the

Christmas hampers. Their hard work

ensured that those in our community

who needed the hampers received them.

We hope that the spirit of “Operation

Santa” will be a continuing success in

2016. Asquith and the surrounding area

is a wonderful community and we thank

you for your help and support in helping

Christmas be a little bit brighter for

many in our community!
