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.”

NOTICE OF CALL FOR NOMINATIONS (MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS) PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that nominations of candidates for the office of:

T

he 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 improve 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 expense, 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 ?

31st Vanscoy & District Fair

T

he Vanscoy & District 31st Annual Agricultural Fair was held on August 16th and 17th. It had many of the events that are included each year, such as the ball tournament, gymkhana, kids land, little britches rodeo, pancake breakfast, quilt show and a polka mass.

Over the weekend hosted a couple hundred people.

On display were about 300 entries of the artwork, craftsmanship, needlework, culinary and horticultural 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 different things that have been created out of vegetables, 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 featuring a live band, Jo Mamas. The dance was organized 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.

Ron Vetter Memorial Car Show

T

he 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 almost any condition, but the club is mainly built around the older generation 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 September 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 performed 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 people 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.

elcome back to the 2014-15 school year! I hope everyone enjoyed the summer. Thank you to all who came out to our preschool meeting 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 follows: the 4-year olds come on Tuesday mornings from 9:15-11:45 and Thursday 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 September 9th and for the 3-year olds, September 11th.

September will find both classes learning about class routines and socializing, 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.

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL

elcome to the 2014-2015 school year!! At Pike Lake School we love the start of a new year because the excitement and anticipation of what is to come is so invigorating! In the coming weeks we will become familiar with new routines, new staff members, new students, as well as taking time to set plans for our new learning goals. The world of exploration is upon us once again!

We are excited to welcome Ms. Diana Jemieff as our new principal for beginning the 2014-2015 school year! Ms. Jemieff lives in Saskatoon and is excited to be coming to our school and our community! We are all looking forward to have her become our team leader and newest member of our school family!

Supporting our exploration and journey of learning this year at Pike Lake School is: Diana Jemieff ~ Principal; Grade 3/4 Kyla Key ~ Grade 1/2, Grade 3/4 Margo Knittig ~ Educational Assistant Lana Abercrombie ~ Special Education Resource Teacher Heather Robertson ~ Kindergarten, Grade 1/2 Shelly Robichaud ~ Educational Assistant Barb Dumanski ~ Administrative Assistant Sandy Ross ~ Caretaker Char Knackstedt ~ Educational Assistant / Library Assistant Jean Lingnau ~ Bus Driver Cassandra D’Amore ~ Counselor 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 scheduling 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, extracurricular activities. Please do mark down Thursday, September 11th, 2014 for our annual free Welcome Back to School Barbecue and Indoor Activities Registration. The Pike Lake School Community Council will be providing 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 Community.

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 wonderful 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.

DELISLE COMPOSITE SCHOOL

elcome back for another school year! We know that this will be another 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 entered 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 because 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 directly linked to assessments in this program, enabling parents and students to read. We are very excited about the use of Powerschool and urge all parents to contact us and get your login information.

All the best!

Carole Merkosky Retires after 34 Years as Librarian in Delisle

W

Carole decided to retire this year. On June 16, she was presented 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 library but whenever she saw anyone from the library, she always asked about the programming, summer reading program, what is new on the shelves and about all the people that were so much a part of her library experience through the years.

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 trepidation but carry on she did.

hen a person puts their heart and soul into a job, many people sit up and take notice when they decide 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. Microfiche, card catalogues, rolodex files , hand stamped due dates, record style videos, VHS, records, cartridge tape recorders, book bus, book block exchanges, mailing of book requests are now all in the past but played a huge part of the library system.

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 entered 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 library for storytime. The kids loved having her read some of her favorite stories and talk about things with them.

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

Thank you, Carole for a job well done !!

Submitted by Debbie Rolston Editors Note: Carole Merkosky passed away peacefully on September 2nd.

She will be missed.

s harvest approaches in this part of the province, farmers will be keeping an eye on the weather forecast.

Time can be a limiting factor for many producers as they race against shorter days and cooler temperatures to get the crop in the bin while the quality is still available. Some producers will look to hire custom combiners, while others will want more security and control to get the job done and will rent or purchase additional combine capacity. There will also be operators looking to do some custom combining. So what is the going rate for custom combining this year?

That depends…

machinery. This information is provided as a guideline and should be interpreted and adjusted for individual situations. There is also an online calculator that has been updated to provide approximate costs for renting equipment or obtaining custom farming operations from another farmer. An alternative use for the calculator is when farmers share equipment and need to establish the value of the machinery and/or farming 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 machinery, acres covered per hour, labour cost and so on. It also allows users to calculate the costs associated with the combination of up to three pieces of farm equipment. The Farm Machinery Custom and Rental Rate Guide Calculator is available online by fol-

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. Although the yearly expense 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.

For more information on custom rates stop by the Swift Current Regional Office or contact Kari Burnett at (306) 778-8216 or by email at kari.burnett@gov.sk.ca; call the Swift Current regional office at (306) 778-8285 or contact the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

Branding Your Farm: A Tool For Marketing and Public Awareness

M

arketing agricultural commodities is often challenging due to many reasons such as price volatility, unpredictable product quality, policy changes, traceability issues (for example, where foods come from) and so on. Despite all these challenges farmers do market 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 marketing 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 majority of grain farms do not have any branding strategy at all.

However, Kim Althouse (a market coach in Saskatchewan with Agri-Trend and also the president of www.eGrainCanada.com) sees it differ-

P

utting 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 determines overall forage quality. As forage plants mature, protein content, digestibility and amount of forage an animal can eat decreases. Other factors such as rainfall and nutrient levels in the soil also affect the protein and mineral content of the forage. After cutting, weathering of hay in the windrow, leaf retention 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 requirements of the cow herd increase through pregnancy and lactation (See table 1). Feed test information can be used to design a balanced ration that meets cow requirements based on the stage of production.

Feed testing can prevent over feeding, and more importantly, under feeding of the cow herd.

Each type of forage

ently. Because a grain farmer can find his/her production in breads and baking worldwide.

Kim Althouse states that “to get it (your produce) 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 accepted 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 livestock – 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 reasons. 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

Your Forages

should be submitted for a feed test. For instance, if a producer harvests an alfalfa/grass mixed stand, a pure alfalfa stand and barley greenfeed, samples from each of these fields should be collected and submitted for feed analysis separately.

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 section 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 minimal amount of weathering. 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 forage properly. For example, 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 quality test provides information on moisture, energy, fiber and mineral 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 nutrient content between forages or other feed ingredients.

For more information on feed testing your forage supply this fall, contact the Regional Forage Specialist at (306) 867-5559, visit the Ministry of Agriculture website at www.agriculture.gov.sk .ca and watch the web video Importance of Feed Testing or contact the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866457-2377. For hay probe availability and use, contact your local Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Regional Office.

for rent. Branding will display honesty, integrity, trust, presence, reputation. The brand also displays 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 contact our Outlook Regional Office of the Ministry of Agriculture (306-867-5577).

ometimes governmental actions can pass us by, somewhat 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 organization’s very existence is based on their infallibility, and the error comes after repeated cuts in funding of this vital institution. 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 government’s rhetoric. Remember, it was this government that bullheadedly 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 population 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 drastically reduced.

Perhaps one of the most bullheaded decisions in this respect by the current government was the final dismemberment of the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Authority (PFRA).

The Honorable Maxine Bernier Visits Saskatoon

esterday, I had the pleasure of attending a number of informative events with my colleague, the Honourable Maxime Bernier, Minister of State for Small Business and Tourism, and Agriculture.

Minister Bernier held a luncheon with members of the Board of Directors of the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce 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 Honourable James Moore, Canada’s Minister of Industry, in a speech to the Halifax Chamber of Commerce highlighted the importance of eliminating interprovincial 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 collective economies can grow to

the benefit of all.

We also heard that business owners want us to continue to reduce red tape. Some regulation is necessary but too much regulation impedes growth and the ability for small businesses to expand.

Our Governments’ Red Tape Reduction Action Plan includes six systemic reforms under three major themes: - Reducing the burden on businesses; - Making it easier to do businesses with regulators; - Improving service and predictability.

I want to thank Minister Bernier for coming to Saskatoon and for his willingness to listen to the comments, concerns and recommendations provided by our local business community.

COMMUNITY REPORTS Delisle Cemetery Improvements Continue

A

nyone who has been out to the Delisle Cemetery in the past few months will have noticed 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 donate some hardly perennials please contact Brenda Laing or Rita Pfoh.

Over 140 grave markers have also been made and placed on the unmarked 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 headstones from the covers. The headstones 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 recently has been the efforts of volunteers, 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 unmarked graves.

The money that the Delisle Cemetery Committee has raised from running 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 Office.

The committee is also looking for volunteers.

If you are interested contact Brenda Laing at 306 - 493 - 2460 or Rita Pfoh at 306 - 493 - 2236
