EDITORIAL
Humpty Dumpty Healthcare“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the Kings horses and all the Kings men,
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.”
The recent passing of Robin Williams shocked and saddened the world
and drew attention, once again, to how we deal with (or don’t deal
with) mental health issues. In William’s case we lost one precious life,
but in many other mental health triggered events (domestic disputes, school
shootings, etc) there are often many lives lost or scarred forever, due to the
poor mental health of one individual.
Around the western world, steadily increasing health care costs drive
huge budgets that we direct towards improving our “quality of life”.
Over the years we have created, and continue to create, solutions to many
non-mental health issues. If you eat too much bacon, we can get you a heart
bypass, or even a complete transplant. No seatbelt in a car accident? We can
rebuild and rehabilitate you back to new. Break a hip in a fall ? A new one is
waiting on the shelf for you.
Not so long ago these situations would have different outcomes, indeed we
could not put Humpty back together again. But with all the Kings Horse
and all the Kings men, PLUS a whole lot of our taxes dollars chopped off our
paycheques every month, we can now put Humpty back together.
But is this really improving our quality of life ?
Would a few hundred of your dollars back in your pocket every month im-
prove your quality of life ? Are we here for a good time or a long time?
Dont’ get me wrong, like everyone, if there is something wrong with me I
would rather have it fixed than die. And I am willing to pay. But with the
billions, if not trillions that have been spent developing western medicine,
we still die, all be it a bit later. We all dedicate a huge part of our lives to
funding healthcare budgets, but what are we directing those budgets to ?
Lets look closer at Robin Williams. He had more money to spend on
healthcare than almost any person on the planet. In fact he recently had a
successful heart bypass procedure, which I’m sure was performed by the
best, most expensive doctors in the world. Still he is dead.
Modern healthcare may have allowed him to live a bit longer but did it allow
him to live better? Apparently not so much.
Maybe we should look again at what we are pursuing with our healthcare
dollars. Living marginally longer physically, comes at a great financial ex-
pense, while for many suffering from mental illness, quality of life is not
even an option at any price. From a pure financial perspective, cleaning up
after a mental health driven, mass casualty event (police, emergency rooms,
counselling, funerals, etc) has costs associated to it even beyond bloated
healthcare budgets. For the unfortunate victims of such an event, the
healthcare system did not help them live longer. And the lucky survivors of
such trauma will always struggle with living a quality life.
Surely we could a better job of understanding the mental health issues of
humans so we can all enjoy the experience of living together before we die.
All the Kings Horses and All the Kings Men
May now be able to put Humpty together again,
....but what do we do if he keeps jumping off the wall ?

“LIVE INTERNET BIDDING”
The Vanscoy & District 31st Annual Agricul-
tural Fair was held on August 16th and
17th. It had many of the events that are in-
cluded each year, such as the ball tournament,
gymkhana, kids land, little britches rodeo, pan-
cake breakfast, quilt show and a polka mass.
Over the weekend hosted a couple hundred peo-
ple.
On display were about 300 entries of the artwork,
craftsmanship, needlework, culinary and horticul-
tural talents of the people in the community. 1st,
2nd, and 3rd placings were handed out in each of
the categories. People really enjoy seeing the dif-
ferent things that have been created out of veg-
etables, photos, flowers, and even mud
pies by the kids.
The Fair began Saturday with a Lil Britches
Rodeo and Kidsland for the youngsters as well as
a Gymkhana. and new this year was the Farmers
Amazing race, organized by Arlie LaRoche and
Melanie Chouinard. 11 teams entered with ages
ranging from 4- 85 years old. Each team was
timed while completing chores such as feeding
huge pigs, hammering nails, digging potatoes and
pushing wheel barrels. The winning team was the
Cowboy Warriors, Remington (14 yrs), Lynnaya
(14), Savannah (14), and Walkor (4). They will
have their names engraved on the trophy and
also won a cash prize. The SMPPU team, made
up of some of the ball players from the
weekend, were awarded the spirit award,
after each of the teams performed a team
cheer.
Also on Saturday was the Vanscoy
Recreation Board Slo-Pitch Tournament with 4
teams registered. Three local teams, Green Gang,
Flaming Randys, and Nads competed with Smack
My Pitch Up, a team from Saskatoon, that took
home the 1st place prize of $300. The tournament
was delayed slightly with rain in the morning but
eventually got underway around 11am. Thanks to
Rob & Lisa Michnik, a TV was available to watch
the Rider game.
Saturday wrapped up with a street dance featur-
ing a live band, Jo Mamas. The dance was organ-
ized by Glen and Shelley Lyons, who built a
complete stage for the event. Along with their
team of volunteers, they also operated a food
booth that served beef and pulled pork on a bun,
sausages, cold treats and lots more. The band
played late into the night until a downpour forced
everyone to go home.
Sunday began with a pancake breakfast and
Polka Mass, followed by the Saskatoon Agility
Club that came out to demonstrate their dogs. It
was a delight for the kids, some of whom even got
to go onto the course to race against the dogs.
Also scheduled for that day was the
light horse show that had to
change locations but still ended
up being a great event with 36
horses entered.
The Vanscoy & District Agricultural
Society would like to thank all of the
volunteers and sponsors that once
again made the summer fair a success.

RM Review 7September 2014www.rmreview.net
The car Gods smiled upon the
Ron Vetter Memorial Car
Show in Delisle on Saturday
August 16th, keeping the rain
away the whole day. Hundreds of
people came out to enjoy the 30
plus cars filling the street, which
was closed down all day and night
for the cars, beer gardens and
street dance.
The event was organized by he
Delisle Hotel and Shifters Car
Club from Saskatoon.
Shifters opened in 2005 and
has 50 plus members. They accept
any make or model of car in al-
most any condition, but the club is
mainly built around the older gen-
eration vehicles. They are also
teamed up with A & W and help
them promote the Cruisin the
Dub event each year. They run
Hop Nights through the summer
and the final two are on Septem-
ber 13th and 27th on 22nd Street
and 8th Street respectively.
The Delisle Cooperative
Playschool ran a concession at the
event for the entire day to raise
money for the playschool. As well,
local gourmet Alma treated those
that attended to her famous
spring rolls. Riff Raff played at the
street dance, treating the packed
house to an exceptionally well per-
formed night of classic rock hits.
The event was also sponsored
by the Delisle Ag Co-op, Orchard
Transport, Bentley Coben, Bear
Hills Media and the RM Review.
Organizer Kenny Traynor, from
the Delisle Hotel, says he was
blown away by the number of peo-
ple that attended both the cars
show and the street dance. “I also
want to thank the many people
who helped set-up, work and
clean-up at this event. It was a
long day for everyone”.
They will make this an annual
event in memory of the late Ron
Vetter, who owned the hotel and
hosted many car shows in Delisle.

DELISLE COMPOSITE SCHOOLPIKE LAKE SCHOOL
Welcome back to the 2014-15 school year! I hope everyone enjoyed
the summer. Thank you to all who came out to our preschool meet-
ing in August. This year, we have 8 4-year olds and 4 3-year olds
registered, so there is still some room in each class if you have, or know of, a
child of preschool age. Our class times have changed a bit. They are as fol-
lows: the 4-year olds come on Tuesday mornings from 9:15-11:45 and Thurs-
day afternoons from 12:30-2:45. The 3-year olds still come on Thursday
mornings from 9:15-11:30. The first day of school for the 4-year olds is Sep-
tember 9th and for the 3-year olds, September 11th.
September will find both classes learning about class routines and socializ-
ing, as well as the number 1 and the colour yellow. The 4 year olds will also
spend some time learning to print their names, talking about family, and
starting the process of learning their phone numbers.
If you have any questions about the preschool, please contact Wendy
Schoonbaert at 306-978-8164.
Here's to another wonderful school year!

With school starting, extracurricular activities are gearing up! Hurrah!
Routine is on the way! I don't know about your world, but it seems like I
blink and go from July long weekend to “back to school” shopping and sched-
uling of back to school extracurricular activities! This year the Pike Lake
School Community Council has helped with back to school organization by
purchasing academic agendas/planners. These planners, back by popular
demand, will undoubtedly aid in coordinating life, school, appointments, ex-
tracurricular activities. Please do mark down Thursday, September 11th,
2014 for our annual free Welcome Back to School Barbecue and Indoor Ac-
tivities Registration. The Pike Lake School Community Council will be pro-
viding free hamburgers, drink and dessert. So please come out, learn about
some upcoming activities in the community and the school, participate in
some fun child centered activities and enjoy some catch up with time with
friends and neighbors. Look for more information to come on our school sign,
posted on our school website and on poster boards in the Pike Lake Commu-
nity.
In addition to our core Pike Lake School staff and the Pike Lake School
Community Council, we are very fortunate to be able to include the wonder-
ful Pike Lake Community as an integral part of the Pike Lake School team
as well. Last year students and staff were very fortunate to welcome many
community members as guest speakers, as volunteers and as guests to our
school. Students and staff also benefitted from venturing forth on various
field trips into the beautiful surrounding area of Pike Lake. Moreover, our
school continued to feel the wonderful support of the Pike Lake Community
and School Association (PLCSA). Pike Lake School is so thankful to have
the support of this organization through the use of the hall, space in the
amazing community newsletter and also in supporting the numerous school
endeavors. We look forward to having the Pike Lake Community and the
PLCSA join us once again to share in and expand our learning this year.

Welcome back for another school year! We know that this will be an-
other successful year at DCS and are looking forward to all of the
achievements of our students. We invite all students and parents
to the School Opening Celebration and BBQ held by both DCS and DES on
Thursday, Sept. 4. Staff will be available until 6 pm for you to meet and you
are welcome to tour the school. As well, there will be a presentation on
Powerschool for Parents to help explain how you can use this program to
keep up-to-date with your child’s marks, attendance, and read comments en-
tered by teachers. It is a great communication tool and we would like to see
all of our parents using it! All you need to start is a login and password
from us and you are ready to use this program. We look forward to seeing
many of you on the 4th!
The use of Powerschool will become more important for parents this year be-
cause we will only be printing student progress reports at the end of each
semester. So, there will on be two sent home this school year, at the end of
January and the end of June. We feel that students and parents can keep
current with the use of this program and teachers can make comments di-
rectly linked to assessments in this program, enabling parents and students
to read. We are very excited about the use of Powerschool and urge all par-
ents to contact us and get your login information.
All the best!

When a person puts their
heart and soul into a
job, many people sit up
and take notice when they de-
cide to retire from that position.
Carole Merkosky worked at the
Delisle Library, a branch of
Wheatland Regional Library for
over 34 years. She started as a
volunteer and then took on the
position of librarian in the early
1980's.
Carole saw many changes
with the library system. Micro-
fiche, card catalogues, rolodex
files , hand stamped due dates,
record style videos, VHS,
records, cartridge tape
recorders, book bus, book block
exchanges, mailing of book re-
quests are now all in the past
but played a huge part of the li-
brary system.
Carole learned all the new
systems and ideas but her
biggest hurdles with the library
were the computer and two
huge moves of the whole library
from the town hall to a building
across from the Credit Union
and then from there to the
Town Office facility where the
library is today. She faced all
these changes with some trepi-
dation but carry on she did.
Carole knew her patrons well.
She would recommend books,
request books and bend over
backwards to make sure that
anyone who entered the library
went out with reading material
that they would enjoy. Carole
became a friend to all who en-
tered the library and when she
wasn't there, people would ask
about where she was and if
everything was O.K. because
that is exactly what Carole
would do. Carole would often go
to the school and playschool or
have the classes come to the li-
brary for storytime. The kids
loved having her read some of
her favorite stories and talk
about things with them.
Carole decided to retire this
year. On June 16, she was pre-
sented with gifts and cards from
the Delisle Library Board, Town
of Delisle, Delisle Elementary
School and Wheatland Regional
Library.
We miss seeing Carole at the li-
brary but whenever she saw
anyone from the library, she al-
ways asked about the program-
ming, summer reading program,
what is new on the shelves and
about all the people that were so
much a part of her library expe-
rience through the years.
Thank you, Carole for a job well
done !!

As harvest ap-
proaches in this
part of the
province, farmers will
be keeping an eye on
the weather forecast.
Time can be a limiting
factor for many produc-
ers as they race against
shorter days and cooler
temperatures to get the
crop in the bin while
the quality is still
available. Some pro-
ducers will look to hire
custom combiners,
while others will want
more security and con-
trol to get the job done
and will rent or pur-
chase additional com-
bine capacity. There
will also be operators
looking to do some cus-
tom combining. So
what is the going rate
for custom combining
this year?
That depends…
The Ministry of Agri-
culture has an updated
Custom and Rental
Rate Guide for 2014-15
that gives detailed in-
formation regarding
guidelines for machine
ownership, operating
costs, custom rates and
rental rates for farm
machinery. This infor-
mation is provided as a
guideline and should be
interpreted and ad-
justed for individual
situations. There is
also an online calcula-
tor that has been up-
dated to provide
approximate costs for
renting equipment or
obtaining custom farm-
ing operations from an-
other farmer. An
alternative use for the
calculator is when
farmers share equip-
ment and need to es-
tablish the value of the
machinery and/or farm-
ing operation that is
being contributed to
each farm.
As before there is an
option on the calculator
to customize details for
a particular situation,
such as cost of the ma-
chinery, acres covered
per hour, labour cost
and so on. It also al-
lows users to calculate
the costs associated
with the combination of
up to three pieces of
farm equipment. The
Farm Machinery Cus-
tom and Rental Rate
Guide Calculator is
available online by fol-
lowing the link:

ture.gov.sk.ca/De-
fault.aspx?DN=f4b8494
2-e058-4b5f-92eb-
b4f5435bc9d6 .
Machinery costs are
comprised of both fixed
and variable costs.
Fixed costs are the
costs of ownership, and
won’t change as the
machine sees more use.
These are costs such as
depreciation, interest,
insurance, storage. Al-
though the yearly ex-
pense will not change
by adding more acres,
the cost per acre or per
hour will go down.
Variable costs include
repairs, fuel and oil,
and labour; these costs
will fluctuate according
to use of the machine.

tion on custom rates

rent Regional Office or

Marketing agricultural commodities is
often challenging due to many reasons
such as price volatility, unpredictable
product quality, policy changes, traceability is-
sues (for example, where foods come from) and so
on. Despite all these challenges farmers do mar-
ket their production every year and they do take
different strategies to mitigate risks in marketing
their products.
Grain contracting, forward selling, grain storage,
futures and options are some of the strategies
that are used by farmers to reduce their market-
ing risks. In this article I will talk about branding
which can give farmers an edge in marketing
their products. In fact, branding can be thought of
as a strategic tool not only for marketing. It can
also be utilized to add value to the farm, improve
risk management and even be used as a tool to
improve the public perception of agriculture.
Although there are many various types of farms
in Saskatchewan, only a very few of them (e.g.
many ranches and some vegetable growers) can
be identified with their brand names. The major-
ity of grain farms do not have any branding strat-
egy at all.
However, Kim Althouse (a market coach in
Saskatchewan with Agri-Trend and also the pres-
ident of www.eGrainCanada.com) sees it differ-
ently. Because a grain
farmer can find his/her
production in breads
and baking worldwide.
Kim Althouse states
that “to get it (your pro-
duce) there (worldwide)
you need the services of
one of our Prairie grain
handlers who clean and
blend to provide a consistent product demanded
by consumers. If your brand (product) is to be ac-
cepted and demanded, you may want to re-think
your relationships. What is your brand? Is it in
demand? Why or why not?”
Trish Henderson, in an article published in
AGRIBUSINESS magazine, says, “Consumers
are more and more interested in where their food
comes from. And with social media, it does not
matter if you are marketing farm products direct
to consumers or selling commodity grain or live-
stock – a brand name can create connections
along the entire value chain.”
So, branding is very important to everyone in the
agribusiness.
Branding is also important for host of other rea-
sons. A farm with a visible brand (at least a name
and logo) may represent its pride, can attract new
employees, and bring landlords to offer their land
for rent. Branding will display honesty, integrity,
trust, presence, reputation. The brand also dis-
plays a farm’s uniqueness, its tradition, legacy,
passion, best practice, quality, stewardship, and
so on.
Branding will also help in connecting with the
community and, more importantly, with urban
people (the largest segment of consumers). Many
urban people have been away from the farm for
years and may have a negative perception and
concern about various production practices that
farmers have been using. Thus, branding will
help promote public awareness of agriculture to
non-agrarian people and provide opportunities for
consumers to know where their food really comes
from.
For assistance in helping to create a brand con-
tact our Outlook Regional Office of the Ministry of
Agriculture (306-867-5577).
Putting up high
quality feed can
be a challenge
and the variability in
forage quality can be
high. Plant maturity
at cutting is the single
greatest factor that de-
termines overall forage
quality. As forage
plants mature, protein
content, digestibility
and amount of forage
an animal can eat de-
creases. Other factors
such as rainfall and nu-
trient levels in the soil
also affect the protein
and mineral content of
the forage. After cut-
ting, weathering of hay
in the windrow, leaf re-
tention during baling
and moisture content
at time of baling also
impact forage quality.
Feed testing your
forages can help to
manage the winter
feeding period. The
protein and energy re-
quirements of the cow
herd increase through
pregnancy and lacta-
tion (See table 1). Feed
test information can be
used to design a bal-
anced ration that
meets cow require-
ments based on the
stage of production.
Feed testing can pre-
vent over feeding, and
more importantly,
under feeding of the
cow herd.
Each type of forage
should be submitted for
a feed test. For in-
stance, if a producer
harvests an
alfalfa/grass mixed
stand, a pure alfalfa
stand and barley
greenfeed, samples
from each of these
fields should be col-
lected and submitted
for feed analysis sepa-
rately.
When submitting
forage samples for feed
testing, it is important
to collect a sample that
is representative of the
forage supply. A hay
probe is the best tool to
use to collect forage
samples. A hay probe
allows for a cross sec-
tion of the bale to be
sampled, collecting
both stems and leaves.
Collect a single sample
from up to about 20
bales from the same
field or lot. Combine
the probe core samples
into one composite
sample for analysis.
When sampling large
round bales, samples
should be collected on
the round side from the
lower half of the bale,
where there is a mini-
mal amount of weath-
ering. Hay probes are
available for use from
each Saskatchewan
Ministry of Agriculture
Regional Office at no
charge.
When submitting the
forage sample, take the
time to describe the for-
age properly. For ex-
ample, a description of
“70 % brome grass, 30
% alfalfa” or “barley
greenfeed” provides
greater detail than
“hay”. Choosing the
most appropriate feed
analysis is important.
A standard forage qual-
ity test provides infor-
mation on moisture,
energy, fiber and min-
eral content. Feed test
results are reported on
an “as fed” and a “dry
matter” basis. Dry
matter basis means
that all the moisture
has been removed,
which is important
when comparing nutri-
ent content between
forages or other feed in-
gredients.

RM Review 11September 2014www.rmreview.net
On August 14th -
17th in Grand
Prairie Alberta,
Delisle Diamond Dogs
played seven games in
four days to win the
Western Champi-
onship.
The first game was a
high scoring affair with
a 14-7 win over Irma,
Alberta. Game two
they took a loss against
the home town Grand
Prairie Pirates 9-2.
Game 3 they beat Lloy-
dminster 6-2 before
beating provincial rival
Bruno Merchants 9-4.
Saturday morning they
shut out the Calgary
Black Sox 7-0.
With a record of 4-1
after round robin play
Delisle placed 1st.
The first playoff game
against Lloydminster
Dodgers, Delisle pulled
off a come from behind
6-4 win to advance to
the Western Final.
The final was set,
Delisle vs Bruno for
gold. Devon Mcllough
pitched a 4-0 game
and the Delisle Dia-
mond Dogs captured
their first ever Western
Canadian title.
Trevor Ethier was
named tournament
MVP.
Coach Joel Durham
says he attributes the
gold medal winning
success of this team to
all 17 players playing a
role, “everyone con-
tributed at some point
during the four days in
Grand Prairie”.
Food for ThoughtA Finger in the Wind
Sometimes govern-
mental actions can
pass us by, some-
what akin to the frog in
the cold water rising to
the boil, we don’t notice
the changes. But changes
there have been, and the
damage to the Canadian
infrastructure has become
a disgrace.
The latest has been the
almost unheard of error
by Stats Canada in
recording the job creation
figures. That organiza-
tion’s very existence is
based on their infallibil-
ity, and the error comes
after repeated cuts in
funding of this vital insti-
tution. It simply is not
possible to cut budget, lay
off senior staff and expect
continuing success, unless
of course the objective is
to squelch the number of
crunchers that may or
may not support the gov-
ernment’s rhetoric. Re-
member, it was this
government that bull-
headedly insisted on shift-
ing from the long census
form to the shorter one
despite the protests from
the experts in Stats
Canada.
Another example that
rankles me has been the
almost total decimation of
our prediction services
which provides not just
weather, but flood and
fire and wild animal pop-
ulation outlooks. In all of
these cases, staff that
numbered in the several
hundreds of highly
trained technical people
has been shed from the
government rolls. Even
the automatic recording
stations have been drasti-
cally reduced.
Perhaps one of the most
bullheaded decisions in
this respect by the cur-
rent government was the
final dismemberment of
the Prairie Farm Rehabil-
itation Authority (PFRA).
These experienced engi-
neers and related special-
ists have been retired and
without an opportunity to
mentor their young re-
placements. This organi-
zation did yeoman’s work
for Canadian agriculture,
and was the organization
that would be called on
for almost any engineer-
ing task required. Re-
member it was PFRA that
built the Gardiner Dam
when a group of forward-
thinking politicians saw
the need and opportunity
(Diefenbaker, Gardiner
and Douglas). PFRA was
known worldwide and
was called on to assist the
US Corps of Engineers in
their struggles with the
functioning of the Missis-
sippi barge system. That
cutback was a disas-
trously bad decision.
As the infrastructure to
serve Canadians is piece
by piece dismantled, we
should be concerned about
the services we can expect
to receive from our federal
government. Transfer of
responsibility to the
provinces does not work
and particularly if it is
done with no money at-
tached. If this is the re-
sult of the actions of the
current government’s ide-
ology, then I want no part
of it.

MP REPORT
www.rmreview.net RM Review
Yesterday, I had the pleas-
ure of attending a num-
ber of informative events
with my colleague, the Hon-
ourable Maxime Bernier, Minis-
ter of State for Small Business
and Tourism, and Agriculture.
Minister Bernier held a lunch-
eon with members of the Board
of Directors of the Greater
Saskatoon Chamber of Com-
merce and later he held a
roundtable with small business
owners and tourism industry
leaders.
At these events we heard a
number of important messages.
First, that interprovincial trade
barriers need to be reduced or
eliminated. Many people would
be very surprised to learn of the
many impediments that exist,
preventing trade and the flow of
goods and services between
provinces.
Earlier this summer, the Hon-
ourable James Moore, Canada’s
Minister of Industry, in a
speech to the Halifax Chamber
of Commerce highlighted the
importance of eliminating inter-
provincial trade barriers in
order to create jobs.
Minister Bernier expressed
hope that the Premiers of
Canada’s provinces will make
this a priority so that their col-
lective economies can grow to
the benefit of all.
We also heard that business
owners want us to continue to
reduce red tape. Some regula-
tion is necessary but too much
regulation impedes growth and
the ability for small businesses
to expand.
Our Governments’ Red Tape Re-
duction Action Plan includes six
systemic reforms under three
major themes:
- Reducing the burden on busi-
nesses;
- Making it easier to do busi-
nesses with regulators;
- Improving service and pre-
dictability.
I want to thank
Minister Bernier for
coming to Saskatoon
and for his willing-
ness to listen to the
comments, concerns
and recommenda-
tions provided by
our local business
community.

Saskatchewan continues to be a
leader in economic growth with
more people, more jobs and
higher wages than ever before.
Driven by the confidence and contin-
ued contributions of our people, this
growth is reflected in the latest
labour force survey by Statistics
Canada.
Comparing July 2013 to July 2014,
there were 10,600 new full-time jobs
in Saskatchewan, our youth unem-
ployment rate was the lowest among
the provinces at half the national av-
erage, and there was noticeable de-
cline in Aboriginal unemployment.
Our province’s 3.2 per cent unem-
ployment rate, our lowest since Stats
Canada started recording employ-
ment data in 1976, was lower than
every other province as well as 49 of
50 American states. This is a good in-
dication that our economy is on the
right track.
There is more work to do, particu-
larly in terms of education and skills
training, if we are going to address
the labour market challenges that
exist in our province. Addressing
that particular need, the Govern-
ment of Canada and Government of
Saskatchewan recently signed two
agreements that will help develop
the skilled workforce we need going
forward.
Through The Canada-
Saskatchewan Job Grant,
Saskatchewan businesses can invest
in training to equip workers with the
skills they need to prosper in today's
economy. Designed to be flexible
enough to meet the needs of all busi-
nesses, this will provide employers
with up to $10,000 for training costs
for an individual worker, including
tuition and training materials.
Currently, there are more than
14,000 available jobs listed online at
saskjobs.ca. The Canada-
Saskatchewan Job Grant will work to
help our people and businesses with
their personal and professional
growth while helping our province
and, in turn, all Saskatchewan peo-
ple succeed. You can learn more
about the job grant online at econ-
omy.gov.sk.ca/job-grant.
Under the new Canada–
Saskatchewan Labour Market Agree-
ment for Persons with Disabilities,
the Government of Canada will pro-
vide more than $10.8 million per year
to Saskatchewan, a contribution that
will be matched by the province.
With increased employer involve-
ment and a stronger focus on demon-
strating the best possible results, the
new agreement will better connect
people living with disabilities with
the jobs that are available to them.
Our government’s growth agenda is
focused on a better quality of life for
all Saskatchewan people. Our
Growth Plan, which sets out our vi-
sion for a province of 1.2 million peo-
ple by 2020, identifies the principles,
goals and actions to ensure
Saskatchewan is capturing opportu-
nities and meeting the challenges of
a growing province. Affordable hous-
ing is a key part of this plan.
A new agreement with the Govern-
ment of Canada will help more indi-
viduals and families in need access
affordable housing. Over the next
five years, an additional $91.9 mil-
lion will be delivered through an ex-
tension to the Investment in
Affordable Housing (IAH) Agree-
ment.
The previous $55.14 million IAH
agreement (2011-2014) was used to
build 631 residential units, repairing
another 1,103 across the province.
The agreement provides flexibility in
deciding how we decide to allocate
this investment, according to our
local needs and priorities. In part,
thanks to investments by the federal
government, since 2011, our govern-
ment has invested $326 million to de-
velop more than 5,600 units and
repair more than 24,300 homes.
Affordability is the focus of the
Saskatchewan Transportation Com-
pany’s September Seat Sale. The pro-
motion gives seniors, age 60 and
over, the option of riding anywhere
STC travels for just $15 one-way. Not
only is this a convenient, comfortable
and environmentally-friendly way to
travel, seniors can save a substantial
amount of money. Tickets can be pur-
chased at any STC agency through
the month of September.

Anyone who has been out to
the Delisle Cemetery in the
past few months will have no-
ticed that a lot of work has recently
been done, and there is more to
come.
The seacan has been painted,
thanks to Wayne Flach.
You will also notice that a flower bed
has been built, thanks to Cliff
Merkosky, the Olson Family and
also Larry Link (who provided the
topsoil). Anyone that wishes to do-
nate some hardly perennials please
contact Brenda Laing or Rita Pfoh.
Over 140 grave markers have also
been made and placed on the un-
marked graves. Ron Junop, his sons
and other volunteers, used Ron’s
equipment to remove more than 40
broken and sunken grave covers.
Core Cut Industries cut the head-
stones from the covers. The head-
stones were replaced and the
removed covers have been filled with
dirt and will be seeded with grass
this fall or in the spring as there are
still a few more covers to be removed
and filled. Core Cut Industries did
the cutting of the covers.
Bob Pfoh has looked after the
equipment (mowers, whippers, etc.)
that the Urban Camp workers use,
every other week. The work done re-
cently has been the efforts of volun-
teers, but there have been many
costs associated with the painting,
landscape ties, as well as cutting
and removing the covers. There will
be more costs upcoming to engrave
the stones and plaques for the un-
marked graves.
The money that the Delisle Ceme-
tery Committee has raised from run-
ning BBQ’s over the past few years
is quickly depleting.
Anyone wishing to donate would be
greatly appreciated. Donations can
be made to the Delisle Cemetery
Committee at the Delisle Town Of-
fice.
The committee is also looking for
volunteers.
If you are interested contact
Brenda Laing at 306 - 493 - 2460
