FEBRUARY 2015

Serving Asquith, Delisle, Donavon, Grandora, Harris, Kinley, Laura, Perdue, Pike Lake, Swanson, Tessier, Vanscoy, Zealandia

January’s meeting brought about quite a few changes

for the Executive of the PLCSA.

Bill Thon, no stranger to this community, stepped in

to take on the responsibility of Chairperson. Bill’s wife,

Dian, previously sat on as Treasurer for 3 2-year terms.

They have been involved with soccer, Texas Hold ‘Em

tournaments, instrumental in building up the soccer

field and re-doing the skating rink boards a few years

back. Both Bill & Dian have volunteered for countless

functions over the years and are always willing to help.

Bill stated that he plans to be a delegating Chair.

Bill would like to see subcommittees formed when it

comes to organizing functions. This way it will not

overload the responsibilities of the Executive and en-

courages more community involvement. Bill is a strong

leader and not afraid to get the work done.

Sherry Ledingham stepped in to help as a fundraiser.

Sherry’s plan is to help by being the Volunteer Coordi-

nator. Sherry sat on the PLCSA as Chair for 3 2-year

terms. Both Sherry and her husband, Wayne, are very

active in the community. If they are not helping with a

function they are attending one. They are both very

community-minded and willing to participate wherever

they can.

Linda McKay, who also served as Chair a few years

back, has also stepped in to help as a Fundraiser.

Linda has been the Editor of the Newsletter for many

years and has worked very hard in the community, al-

ways there to help where needed, along with her hus-

band Brian.

Other members of the board are as follows:

Brian Lee, Secretary, going into his second 2-year term.

Deanna Wysoskey, Treasurer, going into the second

year of 2-year term.

Netta Foster, Hall Rentals, is also going into her sec-

ond year of a 2-year term.

Brandie Allan, Indoor Activities, second year of a 2-

year term.

The above are fairly new to the community and

their names may not be as familiar as the Thons, Led-

inghams & McKays but are every bit as devoted in

their roles on the PLCSA. So that they become more

recognizable to the community, mini write-ups on each

of them can be found in this edition of the newsletter as

well as future editions.

Did you know that the hall provides gym time for the

children from the school between the hours of 9-3? Are

you aware that the hall is available for funeral services

for people from the community at no cost? The room

upstairs provides a space for pre-school students as

well as the Kaiser group who meet every second Fri-

day. The room upstairs also provides a place for public

meetings. Are you aware that yoga is held twice a week

at the hall?

Every fall the church ladies put on a wonderful fowl

supper that you have to get your tickets for quickly as

they have a habit of selling out. The hall is available

for rent for weddings, birthday parties - any special oc-

casion that you may have in mind. My husband and I

were married in that hall and had our reception there

too. How nice it was to have that option available to

us, to hold our wedding in our own community, close to

home.

In an interview with Bernie & Thea Howe from Janu-

ary 2011, Bernie made the statement, “There was one

purpose for building a community hall – so that there

would be a common meeting place for people of all ages

where they can feel comfortable, welcomed and a part

of the community.”

PLCSA NEEDS YOUR HELP

The Board requires community members to step up

and fill some vacant positions on the Executive. If there

are not enough Executive members to attend meetings,

a meeting cannot be conducted therefore business can-

not be done.

Help is also needed in the respect of volunteers to

step forward to help at a variety of functions. Years

ago when my husband & I were new to the community,

we got a ‘cold’ call from Shirley Ogelstone (Chair at the

time) who knew we were new to the community and

asked us to help at the Pancake Breakfast. Since that

time, you will see us as regulars as volunteers for that

function.

No one is asking for you to give up your time for

every function, but your help is needed from time to

time. Not only does this provide a service to your com-

munity but it is a great way to meet others from the

area and it is a lot of fun as well.

To keep the Executive strong and the hall running

at its optimum, this is a plea asking for the help from

the community. Call Bill Thon (his phone number will

be on the second page of this newsletter) or any other

board member to see how you can help. Please.

Our community hall is an integral element of our

community. Help keep it strong.

On January 28th the Delisle RCMP exe-

cuted a search warrant at a home near

Grandora. There was smoke coming

from the house when they arrived. When

they entered the house, they encoun-

tered a 56 year old man who fired a gun.

Due to the smoke and ensuing fire, the

RCMP officers had to leave the home.

Asquith & Delisle Fire departments at-

tended the scene to fight the fire, and

now the RCMP has requested that the

Saskatoon police investigate the death of

the man inside the house.

The findings of the investigation will go

to the Attorney General and Ministry of

Justice.

Brian Lee currently

holds the position

of Secretary on the

PLCSA Executive. As of

January 2015, he will be

starting his third year on

the Board.

Brian brings a great

deal of knowledge to the

table with regard to non-

profit organizations and

also his great sense of

humor, fun and fairness.

Brian & Lyndsay Lee

and their two children -

Alexandra(9) and Ben-

jamin(6) - have lived in

the Pike Lake area for 8

years enjoying the com-

munity, the people and

the landscape.

When Brian is not in-

volved with his job as Ex-

ecutive Director of Golf

Saskatchewan, Brian &

Lyndsay enjoy taking the

children to their activi-

ties, playing with their

dog Chase and remaining

active.

When asked if he had a

vision for the community

his response was, “The

Pike Lake area was built

on perseverance and com-

munication. It has al-

lowed the area to remain

a friendly, family-oriented

community for more than

100 years and it will be a

great place to raise our

family for at least the

next 20 years. Pike Lake

is a place more people

may want to call home.”

Both Brian & Lyndsay

are not strangers to vol-

unteering their time and

efforts at various commu-

nity functions.

“LIVE INTERNET BIDDING”

Local resident, Mur-

ray Morgan and

'Wally' have

groomed a cross country

skiing track on Pike Lake.

Access to these trails is at

the old beach area in the

park, across from the ten-

nis courts that are at the

north end of the park

boundary. Another track

can be located on the

south side of the tennis

courts that goes into the

golf course. A great big

thank you to Murray Mor-

gan and Wally for main-

taining these trails for all

to enjoy.

Deanna Wysoskey

took over the posi-

tion of Treasurer

Sep 2014 with 2015 being

the second year of her

first term on the PLCSA

Executive.

Deanna’s work with the

Ministry of Social Serv-

ices keeps her very busy

yet she manages to find a

way to also meet the de-

mands of this very re-

sponsible role on the

Executive.

Deanna, her husband

and three children moved

into the Pike Lake area

approx. 2 1/2 years ago.

They are animal lovers

who have quite the collec-

tion of dogs, cats, birds,

horses and donkeys. They

have taken in animals

that have been discarded

by other families and

given these animals a safe

and loving home.

Deanna has always

found a way to be in-

volved with her commu-

nity, helping where she

can. The PLCSA is very

fortunate to have her on-

board.

SCHOOL REPORTSPIKE LAKE PRESCHOOL

PIKE LAKE SCHOOL

January has certainly been an inter-

esting month, especially weather

wise. From freezing cold to plus

temperatures, it's been hard to know

how to dress this month! We have had

plenty of interesting times within the

preschool as well. We've decorated the

walls with shaving cream polar bears

and ice painting. We made coloured ice

one week, then the following week, used

the ice to paint designs. We've also

made chalk snowpersons and snowflakes

that can be found hanging in the class-

room. We've been outside to enjoy the

warmer days and we hope to continue to

do so. A few of us also enjoyed the hot

meal put on by the SCC.

The 4-year olds have been learning

about the 5 senses. From playing I Spy,

to listening to indoor and outdoor

sounds, to touching different textures

and trying to name them, they have

been having a lot of fun. But the real

fun (for me) starts this week when they

will be blindfolded as they try to guess

scents and tastes. I'm curious to know

what descriptions they will come up

with!

February is always a shorter month be-

cause of the winter break. But there's

still time for lots of fun and learning as

we discover what we can about the

colour pink, the number 6, and Valen-

tine's Day. The 4-year olds have a cou-

ple extra days so maybe we will get in

the kitchen for an activity.

That's all for this month!

3-year old days: February 5, 12, 26

Literacy is taking center stage at

Pike Lake School. On January 28,

2015, our school library trans-

formed into a “Magical Kingdom of

Books”. Students dressed up as their fa-

vorite castle character (prince, princess,

king, knight, dragon, etc.) to enter the

Scholastic Book Fair. Until February

6th students will have opportunities to

purchase high interest reading material.

As always all the proceeds from the

Book Fair stay in our Pike School library

and are used towards new books. It is so

exciting to see the student’s love of books

spill out as they explore the new and

shiny books that have arrived in our

school library.

Recently, literacy celebrations continued

after school hours on the evening of Jan-

uary 29th. Students and parents, partic-

ipated together in a literacy lesson

presented by Pike Lake School teachers.

The evening was a great success and

provided an excellent opportunity for

parents, to have an “inside” look into

some of the teaching techniques that are

being offered to our students in our liter-

acy programming; through Readers’

Workshop models and Collaborative

Learning techniques.

As the finish to the evening, a deep

thinking, student selected story book,

was given to each school family to keep.

Thank you so much to the Pike Lake

School Community Council for funding

the purchase of these books and provid-

ing snacks and beverages for the

evening. Readers are our future leaders!

Another exciting learning initiative we

have been working on in Pike Lake

School is, genius hour, where students

work on developing their intrinsic moti-

vation. As part of our engagement goal

students are connecting the curriculum

to their passions so that they come to ap-

preciate the purpose of how learning

supports their values.

If you have walked into our school, I am

sure you have noticed the extremely

clean floor and extra care to the cleanli-

ness of our school. We would like to ex-

tend a special thank you to Mrs. Ross for

all the hard work and dedication she

takes in keeping our school clean and

tidy for us every day. Thank you for your

extra care and attention throughout the

school year to keep our school in tip top

shape.

The complete five year projected enrol-

ment for our school is being compiled

from the information we have to date.

This information is of great importance

for our future planning. If you know of

any families in our community and area

that may have young children who will

attend Pike Lake School within the next

five years, it is imperative that you let

us know. Please call Pike Lake School @

306-668-4808 so that our preliminary fu-

ture enrolments can be firmed up.

Thanks so much for your assistance!

Kingdom of Books

Pike Lake School Library has been

transformed into a castle for our Book

Fair. Please join us in our kingdom, as

our librarian, Minstrel Mrs. K., takes

your children on a “Knightly” crusade to

run the gauntlet of literacy. Doors open

Thursday, January 29th from 5:30pm-

The Vanscoy and

District Early

Learning Center is

working with members of

the community of Delisle

to see if there is a need for

an Early Learning Center

in the community. The

benefit of developing a

new center along with an

already established center

means less work on new

financial records, policies

and procedures and em-

ployee handbook. The new

center would only need to

meet building regulations

and have staffing in place

to open. The board and di-

rector make and follow

the policies and are re-

sponsible for all financial

areas such as payroll,

audit, bookkeeping re-

porting to Revenue

Canada, Corporations,

Charities, WCB, Social

services, Education, Lot-

teries and more.

A new early Learning

Center may include In-

fants 0-18 months, Tod-

dlers 18 months- 2 and

1/2 years, Preschool 2

and 1/2- 5 years, Kinder-

garten age 5-6 years and

School age 6-12 years. It

would be decided on how

many of each age group

we would accommodate

when the need is deter-

mined. Included in this

center can be morning

preschool programs for

the community. These

programs would be in-

cluded in the centers pre-

school age room/s. If

needed and the space is

available classes could

run daily for both age

groups of morning pre-

school.

There are options of run-

ning moms and tots

groups as well as parent

education classes in an

early learning center as

well.

There are many steps to

start this process and

many regulations set out

by the Ministry of Educa-

tion that would need to be

met before a center can

begin operations. The

next year's budget (May

2015) will determine if we

qualify for the licensed

spaces. The center can

exist in a school if exist-

ing space is available to

renovate up to $500,000,

but they will not build on

to a school or move on a

portable. One option is to

obtain land from the town

or school grounds to build

on. Another option is to

use or build onto an exist-

ing building owned by the

town to renovate. If so the

Ministry will give $3360

per licensed space for a

new center. Either way

the grant will only cover

up to $100,000.00 of the

project. In this case

fundraising would be

done to cover the remain-

ing cost.

The requirements for

square feet of a center de-

pends on the number of

children(licensed spaces)

4.65 square meters per

child or 50sq.feet per

child is needed. (ex. 25

children need approx..

1250 sq. feet.), not includ-

ing kitchen, storage, bath-

rooms or meeting space.

There is also specific re-

quirements for natural

lighting, outdoor play

space, fire inspection re-

quirements, public health

requirement etc.

Ministry of Education

also require staff to have

training in Level 1, 2 and

3 Early Childhood Educa-

tion, as well as criminal

background checks, first

aid, CPR and TB Test.

Certain hours of Profes-

sional Development per

year is required although

grants are given to cover

the costs of specific train-

ing and workshops. If you

Early Learning Centre Considered for Delisle

Kingdom of Books at Pike Lake School

Regenerative Agri-

culture is a new

term that is start-

ing to develop on some

farms where producers

are looking to improve the

soil health on their opera-

tion. One component of

soil health that has per-

haps been neglected in

the past is our under-

standing of how plants

and soil microbes con-

tribute to healthy soil.

Australian soil scientist

Dr. Christine Jones chal-

lenges the conventional

model of agriculture

which has told us that

‘plants take from the soil’.

According to her, nothing

could be further from the

truth. She states: “Ob-

serve what happens in

bare soil. It dies, then it

blows or washes away. If

you could see what hap-

pens around the roots of

actively growing plants

you would want to have

as many green plants in

your soil for as much of

the year as possible. It is

not ‘natural’ for the soil to

be bare over summer.”

Science has shown us that

on a given piece of prop-

erty, over 95% of terres-

trial diversity is within

the soil itself (less than

5% is above the ground).

Jones says that in order

for this soil life to flour-

ish, the soil ecosystem re-

quires fuel in the form of

carbon (from green

plants) and ‘habitat’ in

the form of high root bio-

mass. She further sug-

gests that the soil surface

requires year-round pro-

tection from erosion and

temperature extremes

(both highs and lows). Ac-

cording to Jones, it is ‘life’

that gives soil its struc-

ture, enabling the infiltra-

tion and retention of

moisture, restoring water

balance across the land-

scape and reversing the

processes of desertifica-

tion, and it is ‘life’ that

provides natural fertility,

sequestering carbon, ni-

trogen and sulfur from

the atmosphere and in-

creasing the availability

of phosphorus and trace

elements in the root zone.

According to Christine

Jones, the fundamental

question in regenerative

agriculture is: “how do we

get life back into the soil?”

There is increasing recog-

nition of the fundamental

importance of soil micro-

bial communities to plant

productivity. According to

Jones, many biological

functions are compro-

mised by commonly used

agricultural practices.

She outlines four basic

principles of regenerative

agriculture, proven to re-

store soil health and in-

crease soil carbon and

nitrogen.

1. The first principle is

the maintenance of year-

round living cover, via

perennial pastures on

grazed land and/or multi-

species cover crop on

farmed land. Almost

every living thing in and

on the soil depends on

green plants (or what was

once a green plant) for its

existence. The more green

plants, the more life.

It’s well accepted that

groundcover buffers soil

temperatures and reduces

erosion, but it is perhaps

less recognized that ac-

tively growing green

groundcover also fuels the

liquid carbon pathway

which in turn supports,

among other things, myc-

orrhizal fungi, associative

nitrogen-fixing bacteria

and phosphorus solubiliz-

ing bacteria – all of which

are essential to both crop

nutrition and the forma-

tion of stable humified

carbon.

2. The second principle is

to provide support for the

microbial bridge, to en-

hance the flow of carbon

from plants to soil. This

requires reducing inputs

of high analysis nitrogen

and phosphorus fertilizers

that inhibit the complex

biochemical signaling be-

tween plant roots and mi-

crobes.

3. The third principle is to

promote plant and micro-

bial diversity, The greater

the diversity of plants the

more checks and balances

for pests and diseases and

the broader the range of

microhabitats for the soil

organisms involved in nu-

trient acquisition, nutri-

ent cycling and soil

building.

4. The fourth principle is

that land responds posi-

tively to the presence of

animals provided man-

agement is appropriate.

Rotational grazing of live-

stock on perennial pas-

tures is the fastest and

most economical way to

improve soils. As well as

the benefits arising from

the addition of manure

and urine to soils, high

intensity short duration

grazing increases root ex-

udation and stimulates

the number and activity

of associative nitrogen-fix-

ing bacteria in the root

zone, which fire up in re-

sponse to defoliation and

provide the extra nitrogen

required by the plant for

the production of new

growth.

It is difficult to make

sense of the buzz

around the most recent

terrorist attacks. The

wealth of media explana-

tions and suggested re-

sponses are conflicting and

difficult to sort out. The

comments range from the

expected demand for active

search and punishment for

all suspects to a hands-off

approach that recognizes

personal privacy.

As I have commented be-

fore, there is every reason

to expect a violet response

by young men who cannot

see a chance for useful em-

ployment and the ability to

marry and support a fam-

ily. It is happening under

many umbrellas including:

blacks in the US, Muslims

in Paris and unemployed

Greeks. It is a predictable

response when the situa-

tion in the average person’s

mind becomes unsolvable.

No income, no security, no

pride – take to the streets

and find a culprit to attack

with the power..

The response of authorities

is to seek out and punish

those that demand a share

of the world’s wealth. How-

ever control of the wealth is

in hands that force govern-

ments to protect their

means of accumulating

that wealth. This may

sound like Socialism, how-

ever it is the logical expla-

nation of a situation that

has evolved to an explosive

stage because of unequal

opportunities for all.

As for the terrorists, they

must be dealt with individ-

ual by individual, while

government makes changes

to balance the scales in

favour of the under-privi-

leged. This may sound like

pie-in-the-sky unless there

is a plan to proceed. And it

is, because no government

on the horizon has the for-

titude to move to correct

the problem.

The answer is not more

jails, nor is it tax benefits

for the already rich, nor

meetings of senior politi-

cians to plan international

reactions. It requires a

concerted move on the part

of governments to ensure

that those with no hope are

given the opportunity to

share by having work, edu-

cation for their children

and some means of restor-

ing pride in their efforts

that doesn’t require attack-

ing their own society.

Opinions expressed here

are those of the author.

Food for ThoughtThe Last Word

C.M. (Red) Williams

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced

that the Government has introduced legislation

to protect Canadians from the evolving threat of

terrorism and keep our communities safe.

The world is a dangerous place and, as most brutally

demonstrated by last October’s attacks in Ottawa and

Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Canada is not immune to the

threat of terrorism. The proposed legislation will pro-

vide Canadian law enforcement and national security

agencies with additional tools and flexibility to keep

pace with evolving threats and better protect Canadi-

ans here at home.

In line with measures taken by our allies, the Govern-

ment is taking additional action to ensure our law en-

forcement and national security agencies can: counter

those who advocate terrorism; prevent terrorist travel

and the efforts of those who seek to use Canada as a re-

cruiting ground; and disrupt planned attacks on Cana-

dian soil.

The proposed legislation includes checks and balances

to ensure it respects the rights of Canadians and com-

plements other legislation passed by our Government

in order to better protect Canadians and secure institu-

tions, including the Combating Terrorism Act and the

Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act.

Quick Facts

The proposed legislation includes a comprehensive

package of measures that will:

- criminalize the advocacy or promotion of terrorism of-

fences in general;

- counter terrorist recruitment by giving our courts the

authority to order the removal of terrorist propaganda

online;

- enhance the Canadian Security Intelligence Service

(CSIS)’s powers to

address threats to the security of Canada while ensur-

ing that courts maintain over-

sight;

- provide law enforcement

agencies with enhanced abil-

ity to disrupt terrorism of-

fences and terrorist activity;

- enhance the Passenger

Protect Program by further

mitigating threats to

transportation security and

preventing travel by air for

the purpose of engaging in

terrorism;

- make it easier for law en-

forcement agencies to detain

suspected terrorists before

they can harm Canadians

and to toughen penalties for

violating court ordered condi-

tions on terrorist suspects;

- enable the effective and responsible sharing of rele-

vant national security information across federal de-

partments and agencies to better identify and address

threats;

- ensure that national security agencies are better able

to protect and use classified information when denying

entry and status to non-citizens who pose a threat to

Canada; and,

- provide witnesses and other participants in national

security proceedings and prosecutions with additional

protection.

Although not part of this proposed legislation, we are

also working with communities to prevent radicaliza-

tion and intervene when individuals show signs of be-

coming radicalized.

Our government is focused on

keeping Saskatchewan strong

and growing – even when faced

with volatile oil prices and lower-than-

expected revenues. We are working to

meet this challenge through sound fiscal

management, a commitment to contin-

ued investment in important infrastruc-

ture projects, and tax incentives for new

growth and job creation.

The good news is that our economy is in-

creasingly diversified and a slowdown in

one sector can be offset by growth in

other areas. Our thriving manufacturing

sector and record wholesale trade values

– just the latest examples – are among

the many reasons Saskatchewan enjoys

the second strongest rate of job creation

and the lowest rate of unemployment in

Canada.

While these figures, together with eco-

nomic forecasts, paint a positive picture

of our diversified economic strength, the

most encouraging endorsement of a

strong and growing Saskatchewan

comes from our children and grandchil-

dren. They are forever changing the

course of our province by choosing to

stay here, start their careers and raise

their families.

As Saskatchewan’s population grows, so

too does the number of physicians prac-

ticing here. Between March 2007 and

March 2014, the number of physicians in

Saskatchewan increased 24.3 per cent

(by 423 physicians) while overall physi-

cian turnover rates have decreased. In-

ternational recruitment has been key

and efforts to retain more of our locally-

trained family medicine graduates are

working. The retention rate of those

trained at the University of

Saskatchewan has jumped by 11 per

cent – from 58 to 69 per cent – over the

past year.

The province has increased medical

training seats and residency positions

while working to expand post-graduate

education opportunities across the

province. In partnership with saskdocs

we will continue to look for new ways to

make sure Saskatchewan is where these

valued health providers want to practice

and provide care for individuals and

families.

Each year, organ and tissue donors in

our province save lives and improve the

quality of life for many others. One

organ donor can save up to eight lives,

and one tissue donor can improve the

lives of more than 75 people. This is why

our government is proud to support the

launch of the Offer Hope Campaign – an

initiative that is designed to start a con-

versation and raise awareness of the im-

pact organ and tissue donations can

have.

Currently, there are about 90

Saskatchewan people waiting for a kid-

ney transplant and a similar number

waiting for corneas. Many more people

in our province require life-saving heart,

lung or liver transplants. The decision to

donate could save or improve someone’s

life.

During the fall legislative session, our

government introduced a bill to update

Saskatchewan’s organ and tissue dona-

tion legislation and allow more timely

regulatory changes. That legislation is

expected to pass in the spring. I encour-

age you to talk to your family about your

decision to donate, so they can honour

your wishes.

If you have a question about this Leg-

islative Report or any other matter, just

COMMUNITY REPORTS

At the mention of Mardi Gras most

people think of New Orleans and

the extravagant parades and ac-

tivities associated with their Carnival

Season.

According to Wikipedia, Mardi Gras

“refers to events of the Carnival celebra-

tions, beginning on or

after the Epiphany or King's Day and

culminating on the day before Ash

Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for

‘Fat Tuesday’, reflecting the practice of

the last night of eating richer, fatty foods

before the ritual fasting of the season of

Lent.”

Mardi Gras in Delisle will be held on

Saturday, February 28th from 5 – 9pm

at the Delisle Composite School. This

will be a Community Celebration FREE

for all ages featuring a dance with music

by Nite Magic Entertainment (DJ from

Vanscoy), a free supper served at 5:30pm

(chili & bun), masks, face- painting,

beads, fun and more! Thanks to those in

the community who are helping to plan

this event!

Calling all film-makers and photogra-

phers! We are planning another film fes-

tival as part our Culture Days

celebrations coming up in September. A

lot of time and effort goes into producing

a film. If you’re working on a film proj-

ect, we’d like to hear about it and show-

case your talents! There are also

opportunities for local photographers to

display their photos at the town office

and don’t forget about the photo contest

listed in the Delisle Community Guide.

Vanscoy Community Recreation

Board Report - January, 21 2015

Our first meeting for 2014 was on

January 16th. Our first meeting

of the year started with our sec-

ond call for nominations. Our re-elected

officers from December 2013 were sworn

in with Frank Orchard as President,

Lorne Lambden as Vice-President, Char-

lene Pollries as Secretary and Pat Or-

chard as the Treasurer. Our

membership has remained around the

same number for the past three to four

years.

February, 2014 it was great to have two

Legion members transfer from the Nu-

tana Branch to our branch and their

names are Allen and Joan Morrison. We

also had two new members Keith and

Suky Meighan join in March, 2014.

Our annual donation for Telemiracle

was made for March 2014. This year the

telethon is in Regina. Also the Delisle

Legion Branch #184 was proud to spon-

sor the Delisle Wheatland Regional Li-

brary for their summer reading

program.

One of our Legion members, Jim

Travagline attended the Zone Golf in

June which was held in Hanley, SK. It

had very poor attendance as the weather

was a factor.

Delisle Graduation was held on June

26th, 2014. The bursary from the

Delisle Legion Branch #184 was given to

Dane Arntsen.

Delisle Days was held on July 19th and

the Delisle Branch #184 arranged to put

a float in the parade. The float looked

awesome and one of our Veterans, Wal-

ter Howe and three other members from

our branch, Jim Travagline and Brenda

Laing and Joan Arntsen also rode on the

float. Our branch also donated money

for the Delisle Days Kids Area. It was a

great day for this event.

One of our long time members, Coral

Carlsenius had to be taken to the hospi-

tal due to medical conditions in October.

She has now been placed in the Sunny-

side Nursing Home. We would grate-

fully like to thank her since she provided

many years of volunteer service to the

community as well as to the Delisle

Branch #184.

The Town of Delisle held its annual

Craft sale at the end of October and our

Legion Branch #184 always sets up a

table to sell our poppies, pins, magnets

and poppy puppies plus we also include

tickets to be purchased for our annual

Remembrance Day Raffle. This year we

would like to give a big salute to all the

local and area businesses, plus Legion

members and volunteers that sold tick-

ets for our raffle. We would also like to

thank everyone that purchased tickets.

Following are the list of prizes and

winners:

1st prize - $300.00 worth of fuel and the

winner of first prize was Barb Segouin

2nd prize - $150.00 gift certificate from

the Vanscoy Meats and Sausage plus ap-

proximately $50.00 worth of

Saskatchewan Roughrider memorabilia

and the winner of this prize was

Lawrence McNabb

3rd prize - $70.00 gift certificate from

Darla Christopher and the winner was

Maria Cavalcanti

4th prize - $35.00 Hempz Basket from

Salon 360 and the winner was June

McKenzie

Thank you for the generous donations

from our sponsors to make this a great

success once again.

On November 6th @ 10:30 am the Re-

membrance Day Service was held at

Delisle Composite School with our Le-

gion members, Walter Howe, Frank Or-

chard, Joan Arntsen, Allen Morrison and

Rose Smith attending from the Delisle

Branch #184. Also from our Branch

#184 Al Dreher, Lorne Lambden and

Brenda Laing attended the service held

at the Vanscoy School.

Thursday, November 6th the Delisle

Branch held their annual Tea in con-

junction with the Delisle Composite

School Veterans Week Concert. Thank

you to Mrs. Landry, Mrs. Dyck and the

students of Delisle Composite and

Delisle Elementary Schools for their

hard work toward the success of this

evening. Special thanks to Cathy Link,

Darla Christopher, Delisle Veterinary

Services, Delisle Credit Union, Delisle

Agencies, Salon 360 and Delisle Co-op

for their generous donations of door

prizes for the evening.

In 2014 we received many entries for

the Royal Canadian Legion Poster, Poem

and Essay Contest. Local winners are

forwarded to Zone, District, Provincial

and National Competitions. Winners at

the National Level are displayed in the

House of Commons. We appreciate the

commitment from the students from

Delisle Composite, Delisle Elementary

and Vanscoy Schools for this contest.

November 11th was well represented

by our community for our Remembrance

Day Service at the Delisle Town Hall.

This year we were joined by Legion

members from the Harris Branch, the

Linx Squadron, and members from the

Delisle and District Fire and Rescue De-

partment. The Delisle Branch would

like to thank Carlin Fehr for preparing

the wonderful slideshow presentation for

the service as well as showing the Medal

of Honor that will soon be received by

Walter Howe. Thank you to the Town of

Delisle for the donation of the Town Hall

for the Remembrance Day Service. The

Delisle and Harris Branches provided

tea, coffee, lunch and entertainment for

the community. Thank you to the Har-

ris Branch for their donations for the

Service. Also thanks to all that volun-

teered or were involved in making this

Service a great success.

Our Remembrance Day supper was

attended by Kelly Block who represented

the Federal Government along with her

spouse, and also Randy Weekes, MLA,

was there. We were very honoured to

have our WWII Veteran, Walter Howe

join us along with his spouse. The Mayor

of Delisle, Dave Anderchek and his wife

representing the Town of Delisle also at-

tended. We would like to thank The

Community Chapel for the wonderful

meal they provided.

On December 14th, 2014, Walter Howe

received the Highest National Honor

from France commemorating his involve-

ment in the liberation of France in

WWII. This is the highest honor that

France can award.

Sunday, December 21st was “Santa

Claus Day” for our community. This

year the Delisle Branch #184 provided a

donation plus a Legion member, Joyce

Hill donated a huge amount of hot dogs

for the wonderful event.

We would like to thank everyone who

has supported The Delisle Branch #184

over the past year. If anyone is inter-

ested joining The Royal Canadian Le-

gion, Delisle Branch #184, please contact

either of the following: Frank Orchard

@ 493-2445 or Al Dreher @ 493-8176.
