Editorial “I had a Dream...”
My dream, over a decade ago, was to create a method for local business and
organizations to be heard.... and the RM Review was born.
It also provides me a soapbox, in the form of this monthly editorial, from
which I can be heard as well. And you all know how I love to be heard!
Unfortunately, the community has so much to say this month, that there is
only this little space left for me. I apologize for disappointing you.
But a big thank you to the advertisers and contributors that have probably
made better use of the space. Maybe listen to them this month. I’ll be back !

MedicationSpring Clean up and Storage
Spring and early summer is a good time to look into your medication storage
area and do a clean up. We suggest you follow these guidelines when doing
your medication cleanup and storage:
Safe Storage
Store all medications out of the reach of children
Do not store any medications in your bathroom because they are exposedto more moisture and heat.
Keep your medications in a cool, dry place that is away from direct sun-light & heat.
Refrigerate medications only when required. Medications that requirerefrigeration will have an identifying label on the container.
Clean up
Remove any medications that:o are over 6 months old;
o have expired; and
o contain labels that are unreadable.
Bring any medications you are unsure of to your pharmacist for advice.
Safe Disposal
Do not flush medications down the toilet or sink as they will enter into,and eventually damage the environment.
Do not throw medications in the garbage. Animals and birds may ingestthe medication.
We recommend that you take all medications slated for disposal to yourlocal pharmacy for safe disposal.

starting Tuesday, April 2, 2013Those wanting to
build a new
house in an up
and coming bedroom
community of Saska-
toon won’t have to wait
too much longer. Resi-
dential lots in a new 20
lot subdivision will be-
come available for pur-
chase starting May
15th. “Lots will be sold
on a first come, first
serve basis,” says Town
of Delisle Mayor, Dave
Anderchek. “Doors
open at 8:30 that morn-
ing. Those at the front
of the line will have
first pick.” Remaining
utilities and roadwork
will be completed in
the new subdivision by
late summer. “People
looking for small town
living in a community
with a bright future
are really starting to
take note of Delisle.
Exciting things are
happening here.
Delisle is really start-
ing to get on the map,”
says Anderchek. In
2007, work began on
developing a 34 resi-
dential lot subdivision
at the north end of
Town. The first 34 lots
were developed near
the new nine hole golf
course and sold fairly
quickly when they
came onto the market.
Of those original 34
lots, only seven remain
available for sale at
press time. As families
started filling up the
neighborhood in the
first subdivision, coun-
cil knew that more de-
velopment would be
necessary.
The new 20 lot subdivi-
sion offers a little bit of
everything, for those
planning to build their
next home. “We have
some large lots over-
looking the valley and
golf course in this new
subdivision,” comments
Mark Dubkowski,
Town Administrator.
“Some of these lots will
be suitable for walkout
basements.” Some lots
will back onto perma-
nent green space.
There are also a num-
ber of lots that back
onto a park, which is
scheduled to be devel-
oped this coming sum-
mer. “And the lots are
priced very reason-
ably,” adds Dubkowski.
“Our residents appreci-
ate the small town liv-
ing and the close
proximity to Saska-
toon. I think as the
City of Saskatoon
grows, it will continue
to bring more people
this way to share in
our community,” says
Anderchek. Delisle is
not only the hub for it’s
1,000 residents, but
also a number of people
that live in the sur-
rounding area. The
town has two schools;
for students from
kindergarten through
Grade 12. It has
amenities such as the
scenic nine-hole golf
course, a curling and
skating rink and full
fire protection services,
to name a few.
In addition to the new
residential subdivision,
this spring work will
begin on the develop-
ment of an industrial
area, south of town.
“We have had a num-
ber of enquiries about
the new industrial lots,
which will be developed
during the summer.
The prospect of new
businesses setting up
shop in our town is ex-
citing,” says the Mayor.
For anyone looking for
more information, they
can call the Town Of-
fice at 493-2242 or visit

TOWN OF ASQUITHAsquith Town Council held its regular Council
meeting on Tuesday, March 12, 2013.
The Asquith Fire Department has been respond-
ing to quite a number of motor vehicle accidents.
Training for the Jaws of Life will be done in Au-
gust, when practice vehicles are more readily ac-
cessible. If you have a vehicle you would be
willing to donate in August for Fire Department
practice, please contact a member of the Fire De-
partment or the Asquith Town office.
As snow continues to come, Public Works employ-
ees continue to clear the snow from the streets.
Culverts will be dug out in readiness for the
spring runoff.
The Water Security Agency has made it very
clear that our area will be experiencing a higher
than normal spring runoff this year due to the ex-
cess of snow. There are several things that you
can do to protect your property. Make sure you
have the snow removed from your roof, especially
if you have a flatter roof that can accumulate a lot
of heavy snow. Removing the snow will eliminate
ice jams that can cause damage to your shingles
as well as cause water backup into your ceilings
of your house. One can also shovel the snow
away from around the perimeter of your house.
Remember, you cannot shovel or push snow from
your yard onto your neighbor’s yard. Pushing
your snow in your yard into a large pile may aid
in having the snow melt at a slower rate. One
can go to the Town’s website, www.towno-
fasquith.com to look under the heading of Flood
Preparation to find resources for pumps, sand-
bags or sand, should you feel your property may
be in need of one of these items. This office ad-
vises all property owners to be as proactive about
protecting their own property as they can be.
Two building permits were issued for additions to
be built onto previously existing buildings.
A Community Event License, as well as a Noise
Bylaw extension, was issued to the Asquith Com-
munity Development Corporation (A.C.D.C.) for a
PBR Event to be held at the Asquith Sports
Grounds on Thursday, May 30, 2013.
Two Town contracts are once again up for bid, the
Cemetery Maintenance Contract and the Sports-
grounds Maintenance Contract. Posters are up
around Town giving details of the contracts, or
you can contact the Asquith Town office at 329-
4341.
The Town of Asquith in 2012 declared May 29th
to be the Day of the Honey Bee in the Municipal-
ity, in perpetuity. This year, the Council resolved
to send letters to both the Provincial and Federal
levels of Government to request that they also de-
clare May 29th to be “Day of the Honey Bee” in an
attempt to raise awareness of the plight of the
honey bee.
A Public Meeting was also held on March 12,
2013 to hear and discuss any concerns that the
public might have regarding the annexation of
property in the Rural Municipality of Vanscoy No.
345, legal description of Parcels A,B and C, NE ¼
Section 33-36-9-W3 Meridian.
On March 14, 2013, Council of the Town of
Asquith held a special meeting to pass accounts,
as they were not ready for the regular meeting
due to computer complications.
This office would like to say a thank you to one of
our silent heroes, Kelvin Moore. Kelvin ensures
in the winter that fire hydrants have been dug
out and are ready in the case of a fire. During a
winter such as the one we have just encountered,
volunteerism such as Kelvin’s is much appreci-
ated!
VILLAGE OF VANSCOyAssessment values for 2013 have been received.
Assessment notices should go out in the next
week or so. Assessments have increased by be-
tween 46 and 60%. This does not mean your taxes
will be increased by the same percentages. Coun-
cil will adjust the mill rate accordingly to remain
revenue neutral. Some property taxes will in-
crease and others will decrease, depending on the
percentage rate affected by your assessment
revaluation.
Once opened, the assessment roll will remain
open for 60 days, at which time anyone who
wishes to appeal their assessment may do so by
filing their notice of appeal to the Village Office.
An appeal fee of $100 must be accompanied by
the appeal notice.
Don’t forget to register your dog and purchase li-
censes prior to April 1. Penalties will be applied
after that date for dogs not licensed.
The April 1 deadline also applies to any home
based business not registered. Penalties will be
applied and can be added to the taxes of the prop-
erty if not paid.
RM OF VANSCOyNo Report this month.
TOWN OF DELISLEDelisle Town Council held a regular meeting
March 12th.
Council decided to enter into a Professional Serv-
ices Agreement with AECOM for the amount of
$30,375 for engineering services to provide site
grading and design and construction of a low
pressure water system for the first phase of the
South Industrial subdivision.
Lots 7 & 8, Block 38, Plan 101953357 will be
taken off the real estate market and instead be
designated as future green space. The Town en-
dorsed the efforts of the North End Community
Playground Committee to apply for grant funding
for playground equipment to be erected on these
lots.
A bylaw was passed to increase the excess water
consumption charge from $4 to $5 per 1,000 gal-
lons.
Council appointed the Saskatoon District Board
of Revision and their designated secretary to con-
sider our assessment appeals for 2013.
Dave Hartly was appointed as interim or relief
building inspector in the absence or unavailabil-
ity of Herman Michael.

Mobile phones can provide
safety benefits for children
and peace of mind for par-
ents. They're useful, convenient
communication tools that often come
with features that children/adoles-
cents find both fun and engaging.
However, it's important to remem-
ber that mobile phones bring a set of
unique risks that parents need to
know about. The risks exist in the
technology itself, the content it de-
livers and the instant contact it pro-
vides with others.
This information is designed to help
you and your child/teenager have a
positive user experience with mobile
technology. Consider having a dis-
cussion with your child/teenager
about the following points regarding
him/her using a cell phone:
Create an agreement:
An early discussion about how you
want your child to use his/her cell
phone may help you avoid any sur-
prises when you receive the first bill.
Camera/Video Capability:
All cell phones now come equipped
with built-in cameras (or video
recorders). A significant issue among
youth today deals with the exchange
of nude imagery ("sexting"). Not only
it is illegal to exchange nude pic-
tures when you are under 18, it may
also result in your child's image cir-
culating on the Internet.
Text/Photo/Video Messaging:
Remind your child that it is not pos-
sible to withhold a cell phone num-
ber when sending text messages,
photos or videos. Messages that are
sent and received from a mobile
phone can be traced.
Talk to your adolescent about the
following.....
1. Sharing too much information
about yourself, too quickly, can
come back to bite you.
Things change and people change.
Some people may misuse informa-
tion that is shared with them in con-
fidence. Be careful of who you share
your private information with. Trust
is not a given, it needs to be earned.
2. In a healthy relationship, pri-
vate information is treated with
respect and trust.
Those who really care about you
don't take personal, private informa-
tion you share with them in confi-
dence, and tell or show others. Real
friends don't use your personal infor-
mation as gossip. If someone you
thought was a friend doesn't keep
your secrets, then they are not act-
ing like a true friend. However, if
your secrets involve things that may
impact your safety, it's ok for real
friends to take to safe adults about
it.
3. In an unhealthy relationship,
private information can be used
to take advantage of you and to
control you.
Anyone who uses your trust and
friendship to control you, (i.e. mak-
ing you do something you do not feel
comfortable doing or else they will
tell people something you told them
in confidence), is using you. Avoid
these people.
4. Sexual activity with adults is
illegal.
People who are much older than you
should not be paying attention to
you in a sexual way. It's ILLEGAL.
In Canada, anyone under the age of
16 years cannot consent to sexual
activity with an adult five years or
more older.
Parents....in order to safeguard your
children, talk with your child about
their phone/internet activity, be
aware of who your child is communi-
cating with and what internet sites
they are visiting, emphasize the
public nature of the internet and
mobile communication, and rein-
force/educate your child about
boundaries.
Stay Safe!

Food for Thought
The infamous 9/11
tragedy is still
very much with
us and is threatening
to complicate even
more the recovery from
the 2008 recession. It is
all part of our close re-
lationship with the
United States, socially,
economically and mili-
tarily. Canada proba-
bly exacerbated the
outcome to ourselves by
under appreciating how
deeply the US govern-
ment and citizenry
were stunned by the
fact that their self ac-
claimed greatest nation
on earth could be pene-
trated by a small group
of rag-tag terrorists.
The American re-
sponses both overseas
and domestically were
and are clearly over re-
actions. The result has
increased their na-
tional debt as a result
of military misadven-
tures and protective
regulations until they
have repeatedly faced
the embarrassment of
default. Before 9/11 it
didn’t matter whether
the government was
Republican or Democ-
rat any problem was
solved by throwing
money at it. However,
now they are down to
raw ideology on every
issue which has made
Congress near dysfunc-
tional. Now the pro-
posal before Congress
is to sequester (ie: take
money away) from
every program by
about 8%. This means
that Canadian – US
trade will be further
slowed to the extent
that we will have to re-
place the US by other
trading nations.
Most will recall
that CUSTA followed
by NAFTA increased
our exports to the US
to the point that
Canada became the
thirteenth largest
world economy. That
was the reason that
Ontario and to a lesser
extent Quebec became
the Canadian economic
engines but have now
declined. Our current
fate is tied to Alberta
and Saskatchewan’s
shaky natural re-
sources markets over-
seas. No wonder
Harper talks trade and
export pipelines.

SCHOOL NEWSAlthough it is now spring on the calendar, it certainly doesn’t show it out-
side! Parent/teacher interviews were held on the evening of March 14. Re-
port cards don’t go out at DCS until next month, but the interview nights
are aligned with the surrounding elementary schools, who did have report
cards. Of course, parents are encouraged to check Powerschool or to contact
teachers at any time. We welcome Mr. Mark Antymniuk, who is replacing
Mr. Danielson on a parenting leave, and Ms. Jenn Busby, who is working
with Ms. Hill until Easter.
With the season change, many of our sports seasons are also finish-
ing up. The senior boys basketball team moved into the second round of
provincial playoffs for the first time in five years, with a win over Dalmeny
64-52. According to coach Danielson, “ They showed amazing composure
and toughness to eliminate a very athletic and talented team.” The boys en-
tered the second round as 16th seed and had to beat Regina Christian
School who was the #1 seed and a projected finalist for Hoopla. Despite the
tough matchup, the boys stayed close for the first quarter, even leading at
points, but the other team slowly pulled away. Their second matchup was
against Fort Quappelle (9th seed) and the boys gained an early lead and
never gave it up. Congratulations to Mr. Danielson, and all the players, es-
pecially the grade 12’s. The boys have had some impressive success due to
their hard work. Team members: Dawson, Jared, Austin, Ryan, Sam, Riley,
Justin, Cole, Logan, Tatton, Peter, Ryan and Garth.
Like the senior boys, the senior girls basketball team also had a
great season. They qualified to go to Regionals with an strong win over Spir-
itwood. They travelled to Moose Jaw (playing in Caronport) in stormy
weather but lost to Regina Christian Academy. Their second game was sup-
posed to be against Kamsack, but they were unable to attend due to the
weather. “The team was enthusiastic, energetic , and just a great group of
athletes. The girls will miss the three graduating girls, Emma Sparrow,
Maddy Heise and Morgan Pepper-Martens. A huge thank you , goes out to
the parents of all the players who provided support, drove the kids to over
35 games this year, and who were our biggest fans. I enjoyed coaching such
a great group of girls and look forward to next year,” Mrs. Hill-Wilcox.
Great job to Mrs. Hill-Wilcox and Mrs. Rice, plus the girls: Jordyn, Paige,
Taylor, MacKenzie, Amy, Riley, Brooklyn, Karly, Brooke, Denika, Maddy,
Emma, Morgan.
Another sport finishing up is wrestling. At this past weekend’s
Provincial Finals in Regina, Morgan Tabin finished 4th in the province and
Ashley Chouinard finished 3rd in the province in their respective weight
categories. For Ashley, this is her second consecutive provincial bronze
medal. They also both captured gold medals at regionals the previous week-
end in Moose Jaw. Good job to Mr. Vetter, Mr. Garner, and Mrs. Kooy as
coaches.
Although senior curling was finished a month ago, the junior curling
playoffs aren’t held until March. Thanks to all of the kids who came out to
curl this year, including lots who were brand new to the sport! Megan, Kyle,
Kori, Alexia, Steven, Eliisa, Kathy, Natalie, Heather, Hailey, Harley. The
kids travelled to Aberdeen for ‘north’ playoffs. It was a 12 hour day, with the
girls team playing three games back to back! The girls lost to Perdue by 1,
beat Aberdeen, then came up against Perdue again and lost 5-3. With two
‘brand new’ players, they did amazing with double takeouts, a draw to the
button, and other great shots. (Natalie, Hailey, Megan, Alexia) The mixed
team went through the round robin undefeated, playing Blaine Lake in the
“A” final. It came down to the last rock, and a DCS win. They went on to the
PSSD Division championships against Rosthern, winning 14-6. (Harley, Eli-
isa, Kathy, Heather, alt. Steven) Thanks to Mrs. Landry, and parent
coaches Mr. Jones and Mr. Pirlot. The kids wrapped up the season as they
went “glow curling” at Nutana Rink for a windup. Hope to see everyone
back out curling again next year!
The new seasons starting include track (doing some conditioning af-
terschool) and badminton. Lots more to report in the next month on those
events, as well as the Grade 7/8 heritage fair which is taking place on Tues-
day, March 26.
The Peru service club is leaving on March 27 and returning on April
5. The students have been busy volunteering and fundraising in the com-
munity, and we look forward to their report next month. Participating stu-
dents are: Jordyn, Amy, Jace, Sonja, Kamry, Maddie, Morgan, Parris,
Kayleigh, and Matt. Safe travels!
Here are the Rebels of the Month for February. Junior: Lauren
Ryan, Senior: Sam Thompson, and Group: WE committee organizers: Emma
Sparrow, Morgan Pepper-Martens, Kamry Schulte. Rebels of the Month for
March. Junior: Mitchell McEachern, Senior: Ashley Chouinard, Group:
DCS Junior and Senior Curling Teams.
Finally, on behalf of everyone at DCS, we want to express our sympathies to
the family of Deb Harasyn, who passed away this week. Deb was a bus
driver for over twenty years in our school division, and her friendly smile
and personality touched countless students and staff over the years. We
will all miss her very much.
DELISLE COMPOSITETime is flying by at Pike Lake School! As we move towards spring the Pike
Lake students and staff are working hard on our goal of improving reading
comprehension. The reading comprehension strategies are being explicitly
taught in the classrooms and students are having opportunities to assess
themselves using our rubric wall and are given feedback on how they can
improve. During parent teacher interviews, parents were introduced to the
rubric and the strategies and shown examples of how students and teachers
are using these strategies to help improve reading. We will be using tools to
measure the student’s growth at the end of April. We are excited to see how
our students have improved.
This month our school community also has had the opportunity to
reflect on student learning growth on our new school website which is up
and running and we invite you to take a peek at it! You will find all the per-
tinent information about the events and activities our school is involved in.
If you find there is something you would like to see added, please let us
know! We invite you to access this link: http://blogs.spiritsd.ca/pike-
lakeschool/ or you can also access it through the Prairie Spirit website,
www.spiritsd.ca under Schools and then Pike Lake.
As time marches on we are eagerly anticipating Pike Lake Schools
one hundredth year celebration. Pike Lake School Celebration Committee
would like to thank Kim Rose from the Trees of Silver Gallery for creating
and donating a commemorative paddle to be raffled off at our 100 Year Cele-
bration. The proceeds from the ticket sales are being used to help cover the
costs of our Saturday, June 8th 2013 Celebration! Students from Pike Lake
School will start selling these tickets over the Easter Break. We would like
to thank you in advance for supporting the Centennial by purchasing these

Well March is certainly not going out like a lamb this year! I had a hard
time teaching about the 1st day of spring when it was –27 outside. Hope-
fully things warm up soon and the children will see some of the signs of
spring that we’ve talked about. We had a lot of fun with our St.Patrick’s
Day parties and the wearing of the green! The 3 year olds made some fancy
shamrock crowns and the 4 year olds decorated shamrocks with a variety of
green items. They also enjoyed many green snacks and hunted for gold that
a sneaky leprechaun left.
Both groups learned about the number 7 with the 3 year olds making a
flower with 7 petals and the 4 year olds gluing 7s on a big 7 that they had
drawn. The 4 year olds have also been learning about transportation – a big
word, but one they know means things that go. They made trains for land
vehicles and colourful hot air balloons for sky vehicles. You can see the hot
air balloons floating from the ceiling in our room. For water vehicles, they
will be making boats out of various materials, then testing them to see if
they will float. That should be lots of fun!
We will celebrate Easter next week with both groups and maybe the
Easter Bunny will stop by! The Kindergarten class has been invited to join
the 4 year olds at their party.
In April, both groups will learn about the number 8 and the colour yellow.
The 4 year olds will also spend a few days learning about shapes.
I hope everyone has a great Easter Break and that the weather
warms up for all of us! I would also like to thank whomever has been shov-
elling the porch and pathway for us. It certainly makes things easier in the
morning.
Colour – yellow Number – 8
3 year old days – April 11, 18, 25
4 year old days – April 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, 26, 30
March was another great and busy month. We had a lot of things happen-
ing at the school, which made up for the continuous cold weather. The
World Education Games were a huge triumph with the students answering
over 50 000 questions! Our school also collected pennies throughout all of
March to support UNICEF and the “school in a box” program. Once again
our Scholastic Book Fair was a great success, so thanks for the support.
Even though we had to postpone the SCC Bingo Night, we still had many
people come out, have a great time, and show their support, so thank you to
all who attended! Badminton is currently in full swing and the Grade seven
and eight students are preparing for play-offs that will be taking place April
16th. The practices for the Fine Arts play are still going strong and the per-
formances are scheduled for April 30th & May 1st. Please come out and
enjoy the show!

Concerns about 2013 Seed Quality
Using good qual-
ity seed is the
first step in es-
tablishing a great crop.
Healthy vigorous seed
can lead to a well-es-
tablished uniform
stand. However indica-
tions of seed quality
from 2012 are that seed
quality is low. The
2012 growing season
saw increased disease
levels across all crops,
and as a result the seed
quality for 2013 will be
reduced.
Testing your seed for
germination and dis-
ease will provide valu-
able information that
will aid in making cost
effective decisions.
Per cent germination
will provide the infor-
mation producers need
to adjust their seeding
rates to target ideal
plant populations for
optimum production.
Disease tests will iden-
tify what diseases are
present and what the
level of infection is.
This information will
determine if the seed
requires treatment or if
a new seed source
needs to be found if dis-
ease levels are too
high.
Using a seed treatment
is recommended as a
best management prac-
tice even when seed
borne-diseases are low.
Seed treatments are a
low cost preventative
measure for seed and
soil borne-diseases.
Seed treatments will
not improve seed with
poor germination or
high disease levels. If
disease levels are high
a new source of seed
should be found. For
example in cereals if
total fusarium is
greater than10 per cent
a new seed source
should be found. In
lentils if ascochyta,
sclerotinia, or botrytis
exceed 10 per cent a
new seed source should
be found.
If a seed treatment is
required, good coverage
is vital for the effective-
ness of the treatment.
The treatment should
cover every seed in
order to provide maxi-
mum protection. Each
seed should be covered
entirely, a bare spot
could be a vector for
disease or insect dam-
age.
Before selecting a seed
treatment a risk as-
sessment of the field
should be done as well.
If the field has a his-
tory of a certain dis-
ease a seed treatment
can be selected to tar-
get protection from
that disease. Insect
presence should also be
assessed, some treat-
ments include insecti-
cides that protect the
seed and seedling from
a variety of insects.
Protection from these
pests should be a factor
in seed treatment se-
lection.
Using quality seed and
protecting it is the
start to establishing a
healthy high yielding
crop. Testing it for
quality and treating it
to preserve that quality
will benefit the crop
health and production.

on seed quality refer to

Bourne Diseases of Ce-
real Crops and

Rory Cranston,
Regional Crop
Specialist - Outlook
For a number of
years there has
been soybean
production in south
eastern Sask with a
few smaller attempts
in more western and
northern locations.
There has been consid-
erable interest in try-
ing soybeans on a
wider scale in
Saskatchewan in 2013.
There are a number of
factors and practices
that producers should
consider when looking
at growing soybeans.
Variety selection is
probably one of the
most important factors
as we are on the fringe
of the normal soybean
growing area. Soy-
beans are rated in
terms of maturity and
regional adaptation
through use of the corn
heat unit rating. The
corn heat unit map for
Sask is available on
www.agriculture.gov.sk
.ca under
Irrigation/Corn Produc-
tion. You can compare
the numbers on this
map with varieties you
are considering. Sask
Crop Insurance also
has a list of varieties
that they will provide
insurance coverage for.
There is some reference
to light sensitivity of
the varieties as well
but at this time the
concept is not well un-
derstood and ratings
for most varieties
based on this have not
been done.
Field selection is im-
portant in that you
want well drained
fields as saturated
soils can have a nega-
tive impact on yields.
Soybeans are suscep-
tible to sclerotinia in-
fection and as a result
you should avoid
pulse crop and canola
stubbles. You may
also wish to consider
fields that warm up
quicker in the spring.
Seeding rate for solid
seeded soybeans
should be 220,000 to
240,000 plants per
acre. Recommended
seeding depth is 0.75
to 1.5 inches. Soil
temperatures should
be 10⁰ C or higher attime of seeding to en-
sure quick emergence.
Soybeans can fix nitro-
gen to meet their re-
quirements, however
there will not be any
naturally occurring rhi-
zobium in our soils so
inoculant is required.
The inoculant strains
are specific to soybeans
so pea and lentil inocu-
lants will not provide
the desired result.
Granular inoculants
are recommended for
new fields.
Soybeans are sensitive
to seed placed fertiliz-
ers and as a result
phosphorus should be
side banded where pos-
sible. If seeding is
being done on narrow
row spacing there can
be some placed with
the seed but seed
placed phosphorus
should be limited to 20
pound per acre.
Soybeans are direct
harvested at maturity.
Harvest can start at 20
per cent moisture but
they need to be dried to
14 per cent for safe
storage. Seed damage
can increase signifi-
cantly if they are less
than 12 per cent.
Soybean production in
western Saskatchewan
will present some chal-
lenges and opportuni-
ties to learn. For more
information on soybean
production contact the
regional offices of
Saskatchewan Agricul-
ture.

Dry peas and lentils
have been grown long
enough in
Saskatchewan that most
people associated with agri-
culture just accept them as
part of normal practice.
However, compared to other
crops, our production of
these 2 crops has a rela-
tively short history. Initial
attempts at production
started in the mid to late
1970’s and acres and produc-
tion have increased steadily
since that time.
One part of these two crops
that many outside of the in-
dustry do not understand is
the importance of Canadian,
and in particular
Saskatchewan, production
on world markets.
In 2012 Saskatchewan dry
pea production was esti-
mated to be 1.7 million
tonnes. Of this production
about 88 per cent was yellow
peas and the remainder was
green peas with a very small
production of feed or spe-
cialty types of dry peas.
Saskatchewan production
was approximately 60 % of
total Canadian dry pea pro-
duction.
Canada was the top exporter
of dry peas in the world with
exports of approximately 2.8
million tonnes in 2010. The
second largest exporter of
dry peas was the United
States with estimated ex-
ports of 522,000 tonnes. The
top three destinations for
dry peas has been India,
China and Bangladesh for
each of the past 2 years.
Saskatchewan lentil produc-
tion in 2012 was estimated
to be 1.4 million tonnes.
Large green lentils would be
close to half of this produc-
tion, followed by red lentils
at just under 40 per cent
and the remainder made up
of smaller volumes of small
green lentils and other spe-
cialty types. There is very
little production of lentils
outside of Saskatchewan
making us the dominant
producer in Canada.
Of the 1.47 million
tonnes produced in
Canada it is anticipated
that 1.2 million tonnes
will be exported. The
next largest exporters of
lentils in the world are
the United States and
Turkey but their exports
are much smaller at ap-
proximately 200, 000
tonnes each in 2010.
Canadian lentil export
destinations are much
more diverse than dry
peas with a large number
of countries taking
smaller volumes. The
top two destina-
tions for Cana-
dian lentils in
the past 2 years
have been
Turkey and
India. These
destinations have
accounted for
about one third
of Canadian
lentil exports.
Dry peas and lentils may
still be considered as special
crops in Saskatchewan in
that the acres and produc-
tion is small relative to
other crops such as cereal
grains and canola. How-
ever, our production and ex-
ports of these 2 crops is
significant in a global con-
text in terms of meeting a
demand for food products in
other countries. For more
information on
Saskatchewan specialty crop
production obtain a copy of
the 2012 Specialty Crop Re-
port at the Ministry of Agri-
culture Regional Office or

Sandy started with parent pitch baseball and soon turned
into volunteering on the Asquith & District Recreation Board,
Asquith Minor Hockey Board, for various baseball and hockey
team manager positions (in Asquith & Delisle), hot meal pro-
gram and other events at the school; her van was always
ready to fill with kids for field trips or sports events. Sandy
always liked to organize celebrations, the first ever Asquith
minor hockey banquet being one of them. Sandy has volun-
teered at Folkfest for the Norwegian Cultural Society and the
MS society in Saskatoon. Sandy was a Sunday school teacher
at Asquith Baptist Church and from 2004-2006 was Liability
Risk Manager. During that time she developed a screening
process for volunteers that included an extensive 'Plan to Pro-
tect' manual along with a complete job description for every
volunteer position. Sandy has organized 5 milestone reunions
for her Olds College graduating class as well as her high
school 10 and 25th reunion.
Sandy was awarded the Town of Asquith Volunteer of the

Sandy sets a yearly goal to grow her team and the dollars
raised, she is excited about 2013!
Marg Down
Marg has volunteered with many events in the community.
Some of these include helping her husband Don coach the
minor girls softball teams when their daughters were young;
Volunteering with the Asquith Figure Skating Club. Serving
on the Asquith Rink Board and organizing the booth at the
Asquith Rink for a number of years; Teaching crafts to all
ages at the Senior Centre over a 4 year period; Serving as a
member on the Asquith Museum Board for 2 years trying to
establish a museum in Asquith; Being a member of the
Asquith Senior Citizen club for 22 years and serving as their
President since 2003; Volunteering at the Asquith Rodeo for a
number of years; Representative on the Asquith Housing Au-
thority for 9 ½ years; Volunteer on the committee hosting the
District E 55 plus Summer games in 1991.
Although not a volunteer activity, Marg supported many
minor hockey teams through small donations of items or by
purchasing tickets at their hockey tournaments. Many hours
were spent at the rink watching hockey games, carnivals,
curling or just socializing with the citizens of Asquith and dis-
trict.
Marg received the 2008 Volunteer of the Year Award from the
Town of Asquith for her part in planning and serving as the
Chairperson for the Centennial Celebration committee.
Lorna Gutsch
Many hours were spent working in the Rink Booth when her
children were involved with figure skating and hockey. Lorna
made quite a few trips into the city to purchase the groceries
for the booth! During those years that a professional figure
skating teacher wasn't required, Lorna taught beginners fig-
ure skating.
Curling was a big part of Lorna's life. She belonged to the
Asquith Curling Club and was treasurer for many years.
Lorna did her part in organizing the regular curling and bon-
spiels and the last few years of the curling club, Lorna and
some of the other women even put the ice into the curling
rink.
Lorna has volunteered and has been involved in many other
organizations in the community. She and Herb helped to get
a Cubs and Scouts group started in Asquith; Lorna sat on the
Asquith and District Recreation Board for over two decades
and was the Chairperson of the Board in 2010. As well, she
sat on the planning committees for both the 90th and the
100th Celebration for the Town of Asquith and worked on
many of the projects and activities associated with them.
Lorna was one of the founding members of the Asquith First
Responders, putting to use a lot of the knowledge she gained
from being a maternity ward nurse for many years in first St.
Paul's Hospital and later at the RUH. Lorna has been a First
Responder since 1995 and continues to go out on calls,
whether they are of a medical nature, a motor vehicle acci-
dent or a fire call with our local Fire Department.
Lorna is also very involved with the Asquith Royal Purple,
having been a member since 1978. She is currently the treas-
urer but is always busy with fundraisers, catering and clean-
ing the Elks Hall.
Lending her accounting skills to yet another organization,
Lorna has been the treasurer of the Seniors Association since
2006. As well, after taking training courses, Lorna has set up
exercise classes at the Asquith Seniors Center, twice a week,
keeping the Asquith Seniors mobile and as active as ever.
Tom Morrison
Tom has always been community minded and his volunteer
work has touched many facets of the Town of Asquith.
He was one of the founding members of the Eagle Creek
Wildlife Federation (ECWF). He has been a Legion member
for many years, during which he setup many poker rallies
and bars for many occasions. Tom is now the Poppy Chair-
man for the Asquith Royal Canadian Legion. Tom also served
as Treasurer for Minor Hockey during the time that his son
was playing hockey.
Tom also served on Asquith Town Council as an Alderman
from 1978 to 1984, and then carried on in the office of Mayor
from 1984 to 1988. During those years Tom gave much of his
time and expertise to ensuring that the Town prospered and
ran smoothly.
Tom was with the Asquith Volunteer Fire Department for
over 30 years before retiring in 2011, serving many of them as
Fire Chief. He was often found at the Fire Hall making sure
the equipment and the trucks were in good running condition
and that the Fire Department was ready to go at a moments'
notice. Tom was a driving force behind the Asquith Fire De-
partment, lobbying for a new fire hall, new fire truck, equip-
ment and the training of the volunteer firefighters. All of this
was to ensure that Town of Asquith and the surrounding com-
munity was well-protected.
Tom received the Saskatchewan Protective Services Medal in
December of 2004 and the Town of Asquith Volunteer of the
Year Award in 2005.
Tom's calm, logical approach to everything is what made him
such a terrific Mayor and such an invaluable Fire Chief, and
his volunteerism and commitment to the community of
Asquith will long be felt.
Neil Millard
Growing up in Canwood, Saskatchewan, Neil spent his sum-
mers involved with baseball. He was the bat-boy for the Can-
wood Elks Baseball team for a number of years and, when he
was old enough, he joined the team as the third baseman. As
a teenager, Neil still couldn’t get enough baseball and turned
to coaching.
Upon moving to Edmonton, not surprisingly, he coached 3
baseball teams for 3 seasons - 1965, ‘66 and ‘67. On moving
to Start City in 1973, Neil coached the Star City Elks Mos-
quito and Beaver baseball teams. In 1980, the family moved
from Star City to Birch Hills where Neil again donned his
uniform as the coach of the Mosquito, Beaver and Bantam
baseball teams.
It should be noted that there were no baseball teams in Star
City or Birch Hills when Neil’s family arrived. Neil organized
these sports teams on his own initiative, which was really ap-
preciated by his communities and parents of the players.
When the family moved to Biggar in 1990, Neil continued to
stay involved in community sports; this time by umpiring
softball games.
Like his father, Neil joined the Canwood Elks Lodge #183 in
the ‘60s and would continue to give back to his communities
through the good works of the Elks Lodge in Star City, Big-
gar, and Asquith.
While in La Ronge, Neil also volunteered for the Fire depart-
ment for 3 years and was a Cub leader, known as "Akela”, for
the Boy Scouts of Canada in 3 communities - La Ronge, Star
City and Birch Hills.
In Edmonton in the 1960s Neil and Jean volunteered to lead
a Church youth group and Neil also taught a Sunday school
class in the same church.
Between 1976 and 1990, Neil volunteered for many years at
Camp Tapawingo, the United Church Camp located on Can-
dle Lake, north of Prince Albert. Jean and Neil were on the
Camp Board and Neil often volunteered as a camp counselor
or Chaplin. In addition, every spring Neil spent a day prepar-
ing the Camp for the summer and every fall he spent a day
cleaning the Camp and preparing it for winter. When they
moved to Biggar, Neil joined the board for Camp Outlook, the
United Church Camp located just outside Outlook, and volun-
teered as both a camp counselor and Chaplin for many years.
Neil and Jean were instrumental in keeping the camp run-
ning for several years.
Les Stack
Over the course of many years, Les has been a member of the
Asquith * District Recreation Board, the Asquith and District
Rink Board and the Asquith Rodeo Association. Les has also
volunteered as leader of the Environ 4H Beef club and the
leader of the 4H Multiple Club for 15 years.
Sports have always been one of Les' passions. He was a
player coach with the Asquith Generals Hockey Club, win-
ning two Provincial Titles while coaching. Later as coach of
the Asquith Canadians, Les took his team to win two Provin-
cial Titles and were Western Canada Hardy Cup finalists.
In the 70's, Les coached the Asquith Pee Wee Hockey Team.
In the 80's, Les coached the Senior Men's Softball Club, win-
ning a Provincial Title. He was also instrumental in the
building of the Asquith baseball diamonds.
Les was inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of
Fame in the "Individual participation" category. In 2003, Les
was awarded the Asquith Volunteer of the Year award for his
volunteer contributions within the community.
Currently, Les is an active councilor for the RM of Eagle
Creek as an elected official for the past 30 years. He also is a
member of the Asquith Elks since they first organized in
1960.
Another project, near and dear to Les's heart, is Eagle Creek
Regional Park where he has been on the Board of Directors
since its inception in 1963. He was the driving force behind
many major projects such as moving the bridge, the hall and
the Church into the Park. He was also directly involved with
building the golf course and riding arena. Les spends many
evenings throughout the year looking for a wide range of tal-
ent for the annual Eagle Creek Park Jamboree held each
June.
Gail Erhart
Gail became involved in various community programs such as
figure skating, minor hockey and softball, as well as taking
positions on the Asquith and District Recreation Board, the
Asquith and District Rink Board, the Royal Canadian Legion
and the Lord Asquith School Hot Meal Program. Not only
does she volunteer to sit on the various Boards and Commit-
tees, she always steps up to serve in the executive positions,
most notably as treasurer and book keeper.
Gail spent many years devoted to and was a key player in im-
provements to the Asquith Sports Center. She served on
every executive position, and also volunteered to run the con-
cession booth, making many a run to the city for booth sup-
plies. Gail booked the rental times, ordered the food, did the
daily banking and coordinated workers for the booth.
When the Lord Asquith School Library was in need of com-
puter automation, Gail devoted a year of her time transfer-
ring data for the librarian and coordinated volunteers for the
library program.
Currently, Gail works full time as an Educational Associate
at Lord Asquith School, is a councilor the Town of Asquith,
and has been for the last 13 years. Gail is a member of the
School Community Council, serves as one of the Directors on
the Operation Santa Christmas Hamper Program, and runs
her Avon business, of which she kindly donates items to
teams and organizations to raise funds. Gail also organizes
the Lord Asquith School Breakfast Program, picking up the
groceries needed, making baked goods, organizing volunteers
and serving the breakfasts, Monday to Friday.
Les Dahlseide
Les sat on Town Council, the School Board, the Regional Park
Board, Rink Board, Minor Hockey, Minor Ball, Curling Com-
mittee and Softball Saskatchewan.
A highlite for our community was the building of the rink
which was Les' first stint on the Board. At this time, two
Sportsman Suppers were held as fundraisers, making a fun
time with celebrities.
Curling was a big part of life being a competitor, helping with
ice, making draws for regular games and bonspiels. There
were 48 mens teams some years for the bonspiel with a wait-
ing list.
Les played some hockey and when the boys started playing he
took on managing. Four boys playing made for many trips,
many friends, some Provincial winners and many meetings in
the doorway as one came and another one was going.
In 2007, Les was inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball
Hall of Fame, along side his teammates of the Asquith Braves
baseball team.
Les was one of the founders of the Eagle Creek Minor Ball
League. Originally they played baseball, before changing to
fastball.
Fastball was huge in Les' life. He not only played but coached
at a local, Provincial and National level. It was his passion for
over 20 years coaching his sons - like him, they pitched.
Along side of Jock Cleghorn, Assistant Coach and Charlie
Chappell, Manager, they guided the Asquith Bantam Raiders
to be Provincial winners and co-winners at the Western Cana-
dian Championship (the rain had washed out the final game.)
The team won the province as midgets and travelled to Na-
tionals in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
As the boys grew older, many of the Raiders, including Larry
(Oscar) and Ryan went on to play in Saskatoon, so Les be-
came a fan, rarely missing a game.
Les had a voice that came thru loud and clear on a micro-
phone, so announced many a local hockey game and figure
skating carnival in Asquith. In Saskatoon, Les announced at
many fastball games covering the World, Canadian and West-
ern Championships.
At the church, Les has acted as an usher and was on the
Maintenance Committee for a number of years.
Nowadays, Les boogies around the neighborhood on his little
John Deere, blowing snow, cutting grass or riding Denny's
Kubota, picking up leaves.
On Sunday, March 3rd
eight citizens of the
town of Asquith were
awarded the Diamond Ju-
bilee Medal, in honor of
Queen Elizabeth II’s sixtieth
year as Monarch. The indi-
viduals were chosen for their
many years of volunteering
Asquith Mayor Jim Maddin
read the citations and MP
Kelly Block awarded the
medals.
A reception followed.

Flood Preparation
Rural Municipality of Vanscoy No. 345
The Rural Municipality of Vanscoy No. 345, due to the above average precipitation levels and the geographic nature of the area, has been experiencing major flooding events in recent years, especially during spring runoff. It is important for landowners and residents to be prepared for flooding events, and to take all available precautions to ensure that destruction of property is avoided. The Rural Municipality of Vanscoy No. 345 continues to take steps to mitigate flooding, by annually clearing out ditches, culverts, and other public high flow areas and structures; however if you observe ditches and/or culverts that are plugged in any way, please contact the R.M. shop at (306) 668-4340 and the crew will be dispatched accordingly. Water Security Agency The R.M. has no jurisdiction in the area of watershed management on private property. All inquiries with regards to drainage problems, projects, of complaints on private property should be directed to the Water Security Agency. This includes any proposed project that would drain water from one piece of land to another, in particular when ownership in parcels is not the same. The Saskatchewan Water Security Agency, formerly the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority is the responsible body for all water bodies and supplies within the Province. They are charged with the mandate to manage, administer, develop, control and protect the water, watersheds and related land resources in Saskatchewan. Included in this mandate, the Water Security Agency has the responsibility for administering the approval process for constructing and operation of drainage works. The construction and operation of most drainage works requires a pre-approval from the Water Agency, however all projects should be discussed with the Agency staff prior to application submissions to ensure that approval is required and that all necessary steps are completed. In some cases approvals can take up to 4-6 weeks, so it is advised to begin discussing with the Agency staff well in advance of planned projects. In some cases funding will be made available from the Water Security Agency for drainage projects, under the Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program, however funding is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and should be discussed with Agency Staff. General Information The R.M. encourages residents to be proactive in protecting their properties from flood waters, and to take steps to arrange for the use of any pumps, or other supplies that may be required, as the municipality is unable to provide such items for public use. These items become difficult to find during high demand times such as during a spring flooding event, so the R.M. urges those who may be in need to make arrangements well in advance of the anticipated time of need, in the event of a major flooding event, where residents wish to sandbag their property. Further information can be obtained by calling the Regional Water Security Agency Office or by visiting their website at www.wsask.ca For any questions or to report flood prevention work that needs to be carried out by the R.M. staff please call the shop at (306) 668-4340.

Late last fall the government
announced an increase in
fines for speeding thru con-
struction zones. There was a lot of
media coverage at the time but as it
was the end of the construction sea-
son, most people may have forgot-
ten.
Spring is coming and with that con-
struction and road maintenance will
begin.
When travelling on two lane high-
ways you must slow to 60 in both di-
rections when passing workers or
equipment.
On a divided highway it applies to
the direction the workers are on.
Saskatoon is different as it applies
to the entire area signed as a con-
struction zone.
The media coverage told the base
fine and the additional per KPH
which may not have gotten your at-
tention.
To give you an idea of how serious
this is, here are an example of the
new fines.
Travelling at;
100 KPH the fine is $530.00
110 KPH the fine is $714.00
120 KPH the fine is $798.00
Hopefully by showing you the
amount of the fines will make it
clearer and help you realize how se-
rious this is.
Please slow down to 60 for the safety
of the workers who are trying to im-
prove the roads for your travel.

Reminder
of the
Speeding in
Construction
Zone Fine
Increases
With all the
snow and
flooding which
has occurred over the
past few years, many
roads have been
blocked. It is difficult to
get information out to
the residents about
these conditions. As a
result people, and more
important emergency
crews, could find them-
selves in a problem sit-
uation.
With the increase in
use of Social Media,
Vanscoy RM Police
Services are equiping
themselves with an-
other tool, through the
use of Tweeter.
(@vanscoyrmpolice)
While it is still a learn-
ing process, I hope to
be able to update fol-
lowers, as quickly as
possible, about prob-
lems with roads and
flooding conditions.
When RM Foreman
Jerome Robert or any
of the road crews or
myself find any prob-
lems, it will be posted
right away.
Following the Highway
Hotline on Twitter is
also very quick and
helpful.
If you are like me, and
not that great at this
social media, do what I
do... ask your kids or
grandkids for help.
Again this is something
new for us and I will do
my best to help you by
providing this informa-
tion.
A another problem
with the expected flood-
ing this spring is get-
ting emergency
responders to you if
you need help. 911 staff
do not what the roads
in your area are like. I
would suggest that if
you experience flooding
in your area, plan a
route to your home that
avoids flooded roads.
Use road numbers and
directions, NOT “I live
by the old Smith place
just down from where
Jack used to farm” !!!
Unfortunately we don't
all know the Smiths or
Jack. Keep this infor-
mation close to your
phone and pass it on
the 911 call-taker.
Make your entire fam-
ily aware of
this. I know in
the past that
crews have had
to travel sev-
eral extra
miles to attend
calls.
Getting stuck
on the way is danger-
ous, time is important
and could save a life.
Saskatoon now has the
STARS helicopter
which can also assist
responders getting into
areas that are flooded.
Please help us help
you.
Flooded roads can hap-
pen in a matters of
minutes so let the RM
know if you find this
happening.
The best suggestion we
can offer you is start to
prepare now, Spring
might come eventually.

RECYCLING OF CARS AND
TRUCKS 1950’S TO CURRENT
Rick Maines (306) 493-2637P.O. Box 729 Delisle, SK S0L 0P0
Over the past couple of
weeks, I’ve had the op-
portunity to learn more
about Matrimonial
Property Rights on Re-
serves, and spoke on
this matter in the
House of Commons. I’d
like to take this oppor-
tunity to tell you a lit-
tle about this issue,
Bill S-2, and the prob-
lem our government is
attempting to fix.
It is shocking that
many Canadians who
live on First Nation re-
serves do not have the
same legal rights as
those who live off re-
serves regarding the
right to own, live in,
and sell their home.
While homes can be
bought and sold on re-
serves, homeowners on
reserve can’t own the
land their house is on
as it is held in trust by
the Crown which
means they can’t get
normal bank mort-
gages because the prop-
erty can’t be seized.
Housing can be divided
into two broad cate-
gories, “band owned”
housing, consisting of
an estimated two
thirds of all housing
and “individually
owned housing” con-
sisting of the remain-
der.
The decision on what
type of housing model
is in place is deter-
mined by each individ-
ual First Nation. The
latter category is gen-
erally affirmed by a
Certificate of Posses-
sion, and can be bought
and sold similar to any
home not on a reserve.
In the case of domestic
violence, a court cannot
order the spouse who
owns the Certificate of
Possession of the home,
which is almost always
the man, to leave the
home even on a tempo-
rary basis, as is the
case for anyone not liv-
ing on a reserve.
Furthermore, the Cer-
tificate of Possession
holder can sell an on-
reserve family home
without the consent of
their spouse and keep
all the money, and in
the interim ban the
spouse from their on-
reserve family home.
It is no secret that
many women are forced
to flee their homes and
communities to escape
violence. Many end up
homeless, alone and
even more vulnerable
than before.
This situation was cre-
ated more than 25
years ago, in 1986,
when the Supreme
Court of Canada ren-
dered decisions in two
cases: Paul v. Paul and
Derrickson v. Derrick-
son. The cases involved
the rights and interests
of couples who lived on
reserves and whose re-
lationships failed.
The Supreme Court
ruled that provincial or
territorial family laws
relating to matrimonial
real property, interests
and rights did not
apply on reserves.
Given that no relevant
federal law existed, in-
dividuals living on re-
serves had no legal
protection.
Bill S-2 will finally fix
this inequity and allow
courts to consider mat-
rimonial property
rights. The ability to
remain in their home
would ensure that abo-
riginal women on re-
serves can continue to
care for their children,
can access the support
of the community
around them, but most
importantly, can es-
cape violence, and
should the house be
sold, be eligible for part
of the money from the
sale of the house.
This legislation has al-
ready passed the Sen-
ate and is at the
Second Reading Stage
in the House of Com-
mons. Shockingly, the
NDP is not supporting
this necessary legisla-
tion.
More information on
this legislation, as well
as all the debates in
the House of Commons
can be found online on
the Parliament of
Canada website.

Kelly Block, M.P.Bill S-2: Family Homes on Reserves and
Matrimonial Interests or Rights Act
Do you know an individual, a group, a busi-
ness or a not-for-profit organization that is
making a difference in your community?
Show your appreciation—nominate them for a
Prime Minister’s Volunteer Award!
The Prime Minister's Volunteer Awards celebrate
exceptional Canadians who make a difference. A
total of 17 awards are given at both the regional
and national level. Award recipients are recog-
nized at a ceremony, and can name an eligible
not-for-profit organization to receive a grant for
$5,000 (regional award) or $10,000 (national
award).
However, to receive an award, potential recipi-
ents must first be nominated by someone. The
current call for nominations is open until April
15, 2013.
As individuals or groups, volunteers help their
communities in many ways, from organizing ac-
tivities for children with disabilities to fundrais-
ing for community projects. The number of hours
they donate is the equivalent of nearly 1.1 million
full-time jobs.
Many businesses make a positive impact in their
communities. Some organize fundraising events
to generate donations for charitable organiza-
tions. Some offer their employees paid time away
from work to volunteer. In 2010, over half of all
employees who volunteered said that they had re-
ceived employer support to do so.
Not-for-profit organizations help build stronger
communities. In Canada, 161,000 registered char-
ities and not-for-profit organizations work to im-
prove the lives of others. Many have forged new
partnerships with other organizations to find so-
lutions to social issues in their community.
Last year, over 750 nominations were received.
The first recipients of the Prime Minister's Volun-
teer Awards were honoured at an awards cere-
mony held on December 14, 2012 in Ottawa.
With almost half of all Canadians volunteering,
there are many more who deserve to be nomi-
nated—let’s make sure their valuable work is rec-
ognized.
Please visit www.pm.gc.ca/awards, www.face-
book.com/PrixduPMAwards, or call 1-877- 825-
0434 for more information about the PMVA,
including past award recipients and the current
call for nominations.

The
theme of the 2013-2014
provincial budget is
“Balanced Growth.”
This year’s budget is
balanced, controls
spending and continues
to make investments to
ensure a better quality
life for all
Saskatchewan people.
It also delivers on com-
mitments we made in
the Plan for Growth.
Saskatchewan remains
the only province with
a balanced budget.
This is key to achieving
our Growth Plan goal
of 1.2 million people by
2020. Through pru-
dent management of
the province’s finances,
including debt reduc-
tion saving hundreds of
millions of dollars in
interest payments, we
lay a solid foundation
for the future.
In the 2013-14 budget,
our government contin-
ues to make invest-
ments to ensure a
better quality of life for
Saskatchewan people.
Seniors Income Plan
benefits increase to
$250 a month - a 178
per cent increase since
2007. Benefits under
the Saskatchewan As-
sured Income for Dis-
ability program are
also increasing as we
work toward our
Growth Plan goal of
making Saskatchewan
the best place in
Canada to live for peo-
ple with disabilities.
This year’s budget pro-
vides support for vic-
tims of domestic
violence through the
opening of the first new
transition house in
Saskatchewan since
1989 - in Melfort - and
increased funding for
women’s shelters
across the province.
We are committing
$70.5 million to the
Saskatchewan Surgical
Initiative - which will
result in 7,000 addi-
tional surgeries per-
formed this year as we
work toward our goal of
no one waiting more
than three months for
surgery by 2014.
We are continuing to
invest in the infra-
structure a growing
economy needs. The
2013-14 budget con-
tains:
• $281million for high-
ways including work on
the West Regina By-
pass, Estevan Bypass,
and a series of passing
lanes on Highway 10
between Balgonie and
Fort Qu’Appelle and
$168 million to repair
and upgrade existing
highways;
• $86.5 million for
Long Term Care facili-
ties currently under
construction; and
• $50 million for the
new Moose Jaw hospi-
tal.
Our "Balanced for
Growth" budget also
contains measures to
support
Saskatchewan’s grow-
ing economy. For the
third straight year,
municipalities will re-
ceive record revenue
sharing. This year’s
total is $264.4 million,
an increase of 108 per
cent since 2007.
We lowered education
tax mill rates to help
offset the recent prop-
erty assessment. With
property values’ in-
creasing by a record
amount over the last
four years, our govern-
ment is taking action to
ensure the amount col-
lected in education
property taxes remains
revenue neutral this
year. That being said,
some property owners
who saw their assess-
ment go up more than
average may still see
their taxes go up.
The 2013-14 budget
contains $119.6 million
to fund 21 ongoing
major school capital
projects, two new
schools and 15 pre-K
facilities. With a pro-
jected need identified
in the Growth Plan for
60,000 more workers
by 2020, we are creat-
ing more training seats
for the trades and tak-
ing further action to
eliminate the wait list
for Adult Basic Educa-
tion by 2015.
Agriculture continues
to play an important
role in moving
Saskatchewan forward.
To that end, we have
invested in a record
$198.3 million for Crop
Insurance in the “Bal-
anced for Growth”
budget. Crop Insur-
ance coverage levels
are also a record $194
per acre – more than
double what was of-
fered in 2007. The
budget also contains a
record investment in
agricultural research of
$27.7 million and an
increase of $25 million
for strategic initiatives
like rural water infra-
structure, trade and
market development
and farm business
management. All of
these investments will
help us reach our
Growth Plan goals.
The 2013-14 budget not
only balances the
books, it reflects and
balances the priorities
of Saskatchewan peo-
ple. Through con-
trolled spending in key
areas, we are promot-
ing opportunity and
supporting society’s
most vulnerable citi-
zens. We are well-po-
sitioned to meet the
challenges of growth.
This budget will keep
Saskatchewan moving
forward.

RYJO Tours Spring Presentation** Saskatoon @ Saskatoon Inn in Manitoba Room **
Wednesday, April 24 @ 7:30 pm
Saturday , March 9th
saw the return of the
much missed Pike Lake
Snowmobile rally. It
was perfect weather for
this event as the sleds
started out on fresh
fallen snow from the
previous day, the sun
was shining as the rid-
ers left the Community
hall.
As the day progressed
each rider returned
and talked about the
fabulous ride, the trail
was great!
All the wonderful
prizes started around
4:30, congrats to the
winners....1st place
$751.50 Kevin
Brownell, 2nd $375.75
went to Jim Teichreb
and 3rd $125.25 was
Linda McKay. 50/50
winner was Kole
Kuiack and the best
poker hand went to
Jason Deichert.
We would like
to thank all of our
sponsors........Recre-
ation Supply, Priority
Printing, The Con-
tainer Guy, Peavy
Mart, SaskPower
Queen Elizabeth, J & L
Frame Alignment,
United Rentals,
Shirley's Service, Golf
Sask, Ski-doo and if
there is anyone I am
forgetting I apologize.
Most of all we would
like to thank the
helpers because with-
out you, none of this
could have hap-
pened.....the wonderful
course.. Clay Ballard,
Dustin Jackson and
Marty Kinzie. Check-
point helpers were
Brian L., Steven E,
