It was with sad hearts in

January that the congrega-

tion of St. Anne’s Catholic

Church in Delisle watched their

place of worship demolished.

The church was the first in

Delisle and remained standing

for 106 years.

The main part of the church

building was built in 1906 by

early Catholic settlers in Old

Delisle, located approx. 2 1/2

miles South of the present town.

In 1908 when the railway went

through, the building was

moved into the new town. Mov-

ing it was not an easy task.

They first attempted to move it

on sleighs with 12 horses and 8

oxen. This resulted in a move of

only a few feet. Next a steamer

was brought in, but the building

wouldn’t budge until a second

steamer was hitched on.

Once in the new Delisle town-

site, the sacristy was added on

and the interior completed be-

tween 1909 and 1914. The rec-

tory was built in 1912 and later

renovated to include a second

storey. In the following years, a

chapel was built between the

church and rectory connecting

the two.

As such, the building remained

until recently, when structural

deterioration was discovered

and the building decommis-

sioned.

The phrase ‘ the church is not a

building, the church is the peo-

ple’ was once again proven

when the Delisle United Church

welcomed the St. Anne’s mem-

bers to share their space. Serv-

ice times were arranged to

accommodate both faiths and

the congregations have been en-

joying visits between services,

occasional joint services and

lunches and sharing of each

other’s gifts and talents.

With closures of district

churches over the last few

years, the Delisle United

Church has become home to the

Laura and Donavon United

Churches and more recently

amalgamated to form the

Delisle/Vanscoy United Church

after Vanscoy closed. When the

Delisle Anglican Church closed,

some members chose to attend

service at the Untied Church.

With the addition of St. Anne’s,

the building has become a busy,

bustling place.

St. Anne’s can be comfortable in

the knowledge that they have a

home, while they go through the

difficult process of planning

their future.

fore building additions or doing alter-

pay their bills to the Town of Asquith due

to a new policy for charging monthly fees

to the Town. CIBC has reversed their de-

cision and will no longer be charging for

SCHOOL NEWS

Here we are in the month of February. The Basketball teams are still work-

ing hard and their season is quickly coming to an end. The girls hosted a

basketball tournament, which was a big success! Thank you to those who

participated and helped with the tournament. Our school held a spirit week

from January 28-31st; it was a lot of fun. Our selection for the Fine Arts

Performance has been chosen and it is 101 Dalmatians! Practice has already

begun, not only for the actors and actresses but also for our Glee Club. The

parts were recently chosen for the performance and students are now ea-

gerly practicing for the big day. We will be having our annual Hand Bell As-

sembly on February 14th in the afternoon. Students will soon be on a week

long holiday as the February break is February 18-22nd. With this cold

weather upon us we wish everyone a warm February!

By Keesan Corey and, Amy Blom

VANSCOy

At press time, semester one final exams are underway! Semester 2 begins

on February 4. Good luck to all students. There are a few important events

coming up.

Graduation: Graduation planning will begin after finals. DCS Grad is June

27, 2013. Our Grad/parent meeting takes place on Monday, February 11th

at the school at 7 pm. Graduates will have their cap and gown pictures

taken at the school on Feb 5th and 6th.

WE Day: DCS students are excited to be a part of the first ever WE Day in

Saskatchewan! We Day is a celebration for students who are working on

tangible social justice projects both locally and globally. The event will be

held on Wednesday, February 27 with over 15,000 students participating.

The line up of performers includes well known performers such as Martin

Sheen and Hedley, as well as inspirational speakers and the founders of

Free the Children (organizers of the We Act movement) Craig and Mark

Kielburger. Interested students filled out applications and submitted them

to the SRC, as only a certain amount of tickets are available.

Basketball: Our DCS basketball teams have been on a roll! The senior boys

team lost a close one in overtime this week, and are gearing up for the home

tournament on February 8. The senior girls finished 3rd in Outlook at the

Blues tournament! They played hard, and were extremely excited to be on

the "A" side of a tournament. On Friday they defeated LCBI, but unfortu-

nately were defeated by Clavet and Warman on Saturday. The girls also

played at Outlook at the LCBI tournament. They played hard but didn't

make the playoffs. The Junior Girls team most recently travelled to Wyn-

yard for a tournament, beating out Melfort and Wynyard, but dropping a

close final to Warman. The previous weekend, the girls had come up

against Warman in the final of Warman's home tournament. In that game,

the Rebels won 39-32. Their other previous meeting had Warman win by a

slim 3 point margin. Lots of close action between those two teams! Great

work girls!! Finally, the junior boys have continued their winning streak to

12-0 in league play with a win over Valley Manor this week. Previously, the

boys played tournaments in Hepburn and Outlook and won both of those.

Keep up the good work team!

Curling: Although it's a short season, the curling rink is open and busy for

both junior and senior teams. The seniors host the first round of playoffs

beginning on Friday February 8. The junior playdowns are on March 1 and

2.

Ski Trip: The grade 7 and 8 students are heading to Table Mountain for

their ski trip on January 30. Hoping you have nice weather!

Rebels of the Month: No announcement of Rebels of the Month for January

yet. We'll have those for you next month.

DELISLE COMPOSITEHappy New Year! Hope everyone had a relaxing Christmas break. For

good reason the students of Pike Lake School returned to classes energized

and eager for the experiences to come. Indeed 2013 marks the 100th year of

our schools existence! As we celebrate the past 100 years of Pike Lake

School we are also excited by the many new opportunities that lie ahead for

our school in the current year school and the years to come.

Exciting news has come from Telemiracle 37 this month! In addition to

singing "Wavin Flag," Pike Lake students, grades 1-4, have been chosen to

be the choir to sing with Bob McGrath On Telemiracle. The students of

Pike Lake are feeling very privileged and grateful for this opportunity. Be

sure and watch Telemiracle 37 this year as our students light up the stage

with their heartfelt performances.

Also in our present academic year the students of Pike Lake School are con-

tinuing to work hard on developing their comprehension strategies as a part

of our school wide goal. As a learning community we at Pike Lake School

continue engage in hands on inquiry based activities in order to promote

reading for an authentic and meaningful purposes. This being said, it is

quite appropriate that this year's Scholastic book fair theme is "Story Labo-

ratory." The Scholastic Book Fair will grace our library from January 29th

to February 7th this year. There is no doubt that the book fair will provide

exciting opportunities for our young readers. Moreover as an added bonus

the book fair is a fabulous way to earn some new books for our school's

amazing library.

Looking towards our future, as always Pike Lake School, continues to

work on the projected enrolment for our school. 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, please let us know. Or ask

them to call the school @ 668-4808 or drop by the school for a tour. Thanks

for your assistance in helping Pike Lake School as we look forward to con-

tinuing the fine tradition of helping students to reach their full potential as

they are encouraged in our unique and beautiful community to work hard at

academics, to be environmental conscientious, and to be respectful towards

one another.

PIKE LAKE

PIKE LAKE PRESCHOOLI hope everyone is managing to stay warm these cold January days! I would

like to announce the registration of a new student for the 3-year old class,

bringing the numbers of both classes to 5 each. That was the perfect number

for the days the classes learned about the number 5.

The 3-year olds made marshmallow snowmen for a craft for White Day,

while the 4-year olds improved their scissors skills making snowflakes that

are hanging from our ceiling.

The 3-year olds tried to have an outdoor snow day, but it was postponed due

to the cold weather. We are hoping to have one soon! We did have an indoor

winter day where we learned about winter activities, made igloos, and had a

relay race dressing up in outdoor clothing.

The 4-year olds are having fun learning about the 5 senses, which also fol-

lows our number 5 theme. They are finding it’s very difficult to guess what

certain smells or tastes are without seeing what they are smelling or tast-

ing.

In February, both groups will learn about the number 6 and the colour pink.

We will also have a Valentine’s Day party with crafts, games, and snacks

celebrating this day of love! The 4-year olds will hopefully enjoy an outdoor

day in the snow at the beginning of the month, if the weather cooperates,

and spend a day in the middle of the month learning about outer space.

Until next month, stay warm!

Pat Trask’s

entrepre-

neurial spirit

saw her success-

fully accomplish

many businesses,

community and

family endeavors.

Some may recog-

nize her as the face

behind ‘Pat’s Fam-

ily Catering’, but

her latest challenge

at the age of 81

was to write a

book... ‘The Man

Behind Handsome’.

That man was her

father.

Pat and her five

sisters were raised

on a farm in the

Tessier area. The

Faris family was

well known within

the community, but

what

wasn’t well known

was the family dy-

namic. A father,

who appeared to be

a ‘family man’, who

loved his children

was in fact a differ-

ent man behind

closed doors. He

was domineer-

ing, controlling

and lazy, abus-

ing his wife and

children ver-

bally, emotion-

ally and

physically. Pat

tells about how

it felt, and how

it affected her

even after she

had married

and started her

own family. She

describes the

special bond of

caring and watch-

ing out for each

other that she

shared with her

sisters. And

in the

midst

of the

tur-

moil

that was

a constant

in her life, she

also remembers the

beauty of the

prairie land and

sky and the smell

of fresh cinnamon

buns and butter.

Pat’s story is one

that happens more

often than one is

aware and one that

frequently remains

a secret. By writing

her memoirs, she

has shed light on a

subject that still,

many do not under-

stand. Her gift is to

those in the midst

of a similar situa-

tion - there is hope,

to educate those

who are not and to

share with those

who have. By look-

ing at the success-

ful life of this

woman, who mar-

ried the love of her

life, raised six suc-

cessful children,

taught sewing and

cooking through

the community col-

lege, led 4-H clubs,

ran a store, was

President of the

Local 619 of the

NFU, started her

own business,

while taking an ac-

tive part in her

family farm and

her children’s

lives... one would

never know - until

now. She is a role

model and mentor

to many. Triumph

over adversity.

‘The Man Behind

Handsome’ is avail-

able at Li’l Bit of

Country in Delisle,

McNally Robinson

and coming soon to

the Delisle Library.

Food for Thought

I was talking with

Josh Storey recently

and thought many

would like to hear

about his welfare. Both

Josh and Vera are well

and living in a retire-

ment home in Saska-

toon. For those not

acquainted with Josh’s

activities, let me sug-

gest that he was an in-

dependent pioneer

attempting to overcome

the low incomes of

farmers in the 1980s

and 90s. You may re-

call that was the period

when large hog and

cattle feeding opera-

tions were refining

their management

based on low grain

prices. Of course the

cost of such operations

was well out of reach of

most so alternative

methods of financing

was called for.

Josh got the

idea, and he called it

his Concept, that fi-

nancing could be ac-

complished if farmers

would organize them-

selves on about a RM

basis and collectively

build the hog barns for

about 2200 sows and a

feedlot for 10,000 head.

The local feeder cattle

would be accommo-

dated which would

eliminate transporta-

tion and purchasing

costs. The summer

grazing would be on

pastures owned by

members that would

receive a contract price.

Similarly cows would

be wintered in one or

two locations on field

aftermath. There were

working examples of

each of these steps in

Saskatchewan but of

course not all in one or-

ganization, and not

replicated across the

province. Josh pro-

moted his Concept in

as many places as he

could organize a crowd.

For a time it appeared

he had a gem because

parts of the approach

were being developed.

However grain prices

improved and livestock

developments stum-

bled. Looking at cur-

rent conditions the

situation has reversed

and the drive is on for

ever larger grain opera-

tions and for the inten-

sive livestock units to

be taken over by the

processors. Josh had a

vision for his time.

Regular investing enables investors to

apply the disciplined savings-first ap-

proach needed to help successfully build

wealth over time.

And by using the

valuable invest-

ment strategy of

dollar-cost aver-

aging (DCA),

regular investing

can be an effec-

tive way to in-

vest in all

market condi-

tions.

Often, the terms

“dollar-cost aver-

aging (DCA)”

and “regular in-

vesting” are used

interchangeably.

The difference is

that DCA is a

strategy within

your investment portfolio, while regular

investing is what you can do as an in-

vestor.

A Sound Way to Invest Over the

Long Term

There will always be investors who are

tempted to stop investing during periods

of heightened market volatility. Investing

regularly enables anxious investors to

ease into any type of market and build

wealth over the long

term; however,

building wealth is

not simply about

saving. Know-

ing how much,

how long and

what to invest

in is just as

vital in order to

successfully

reach your fi-

nancial goals.

Long-term suc-

cess is more

likely to be the

result of time in

the markets

than timing the

markets.

Invest early,

invest often

Using the fol-

lowing example,

let’s take a look

at two different

types of in-

vestors:

- The early investor

invests $200/month

from age 20 until

age 60.

- The late investor

invests $400/month

from age 40 until

age 60.

By age 60, both in-

vestors will have invested a total of

$96,000. Assuming an annual investment

return of 4%, the early investor will have

accumulated

over $237,000

by age 60,

while the late

investor will

have accumu-

lated about

$148,000 by

the same age

– a difference

of more than

$89,000 just

by starting to

invest earlier.

While this ex-

ample uses a

simple rate of

return, the

difference

would be

more pro-

nounced when investing in the markets,

where the strategy of DCA can be used.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)

How the strategy works

Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) involves in-

vesting a fixed amount at regular inter-

vals (e.g. monthly), regardless of market

movements, which allows an investor to

purchase more of an investment when

prices are low, and less when prices are

high, thereby potentially reducing the

overall average cost of their investments.

DCA in all types of markets

During periods of increased volatility or

uncertainty, investors tend to abandon

long-term strategies in favor of sitting on

A Smart Approach to Building Wealth

Page 9: February 2013 RM Review

Leaving the workplace and heading

into retirement is a big change. Not

only does it affect the way you man-

age your time, but also the way you

manage your cash flow. It is impor-

tant to invest some time to better

understand your retirement income

and expenses.

“As you head into retirement, your

income is likely to come from multi-

ple sources, such as government

pensions, employer pension, RRSPs

and personal savings,” says Shawna

Hoffman Currey, Financial Planner,

RBC Financial Planning®. “Each of

these are taxed differently. This is

where professional assistance can

help you manage your new financial

circumstances and make any adjust-

ments necessary for tax planning.”

A Financial Planner can help make

it much easier to understand your

retirement income sources and an-

swer any questions you may have,

such as:

• How do I convert my RRSP to a

RRIF?

• Does an RRSP loan make sense for

me?

• How do I now look at my nest egg

as my portfolio?

• How will my financial resources be

impacted by the various life changes

that might occur?

the sidelines in cash; how-

ever, history suggests that

this trade-off isn’t always

effective. Research shows

that a lump sum all-equity

investment tends to be the

most effective strategy for

growth over the long-term,

but DCA allows investors

to even out investment re-

turns during periods of in-

creased market

fluctuations and can pro-

vide a smoother overall in-

vestment experience over

time. Consider the exam-

ple in the chart to the

right, which compares the

performance of DCA over

historical periods of

falling, flat and rising

stock markets with a lump

sum all-equity investment.

DCA proves to be an effec-

tive alternative for in-

vestors who aren’t

comfortable investing a

lump sum.

What Should You Do?

Most investors require

some growth in order to

achieve their long-term

goals. Investing regularly

is a disciplined and effec-

tive way to build wealth

over time. And while DCA

may not always provide

superior returns, it’s a

compelling way to take ad-

vantage of long-term

growth opportuni-

ties while also mod-

erating overall

fluctuations in your

portfolio – a timely

theme in today’s

market environ-

ment.

Organizers would like to thank the property owners that welcomed the

40+ volunteers that were spread out through thier survey area sur-

rounding Pike Lake on January 5, 2013.

The morning started off a bit on the chilly side but nothing like the temper-

atures that have been experienced in the past. And once the sun rose the

day continued to warm up to a balmy -6. The volunteers in automobiles,

walking, snowshoeing and skiing set off at 9am to different sectors for the

morning and regrouped for lunch and to swap stories at the Anglican

Church. The Church is greatly appreciated by the group for the warmth,

and particularly for those that were on foot.

They found 28 species that day, which is not a stellar day for number of bird

species. The records show over the years that there have been a total of 52

species seen over the 30 years. The record is 35 in one year. However they

did set a few records with the birds they saw. Three Common Goldeye

ducks were spotted on the river. The Pine Grosbeak set a record number of

522 and the Common Redpoll numbers reached 683. Watchers also added

one new species, the Western Meadowlark which was recorded south of the

Pike Lake Park.

Large-scale public participation in Bird Studies Canada programs such as

the Pike Lake Count is essential. Scientists and volunteers work together,

gathering data. That is where the Saskatoon Nature Society comes in. The

Saskatoon Nature Society, a charitable organization founded in 1955, brings

together those interested in the natural world. Thier objective is to promote

the appreciation of nature and encourage a deeper knowledge of it through

observation and sharing of experience.

Monthly meetings are held from September to April with talks, films and

slide presentations on topics related to nature. Three or more guided field

trips are held each month in spring, summer and fall with occasional trips

in winter, providing opportunities to observe birds, mammals, insects and

plants in the company of other naturalists.

The Asquith Rink

Board hosted a

‘Skate with the

Blades’ night on Janu-

ary 8th. There was a

big turn-out of Saska-

toon Blades hockey

fans who came down to

skate with some Blades

team players. Alex

Moodie, Nick Zajac,

Logan Harland and

Kyle Schmidt were the

Blades players that

came out for the night.

They were amazing

with the kids. They or-

ganized games on the

ice and danced to their

favorite tunes. They

then grabbed their

hockey sticks and put

on a little shooting

demo. After the skate,

they came up to the

lobby and signed auto-

graphs for everyone.

“We were really im-

pressed with these

young men - they

were excellent ambas-

sadors for the Blades

organization and truly

had fun with the kids”

says Asquith Rink

Board Member Cory

Rousell. “We also had a

ton a free door prize

draws that everyone

could win and gave

away two Blades ticket

packs and several other

neat things for the

kids.”

The Asquith Rink

Board is working hard

to bring exposure back

the rink. “It used to be

a focal point of the

town, but it has slipped

out of most people's

minds” says Rousell,

“Events like our Skate

with The Blades night

are attempts to attract

people back to see what

it's all about and

maybe get a few more

people interesting in

playing hockey or skat-

ing.”

The next event they

have planned is a Fam-

ily Night on Friday,

February 1st. with free

skating and food spe-

cials, free draws, and a

real party atmosphere

for everyone. “We are

going to have a DJ

playing music with a

light show and smoke

on the ice for an excit-

ing atmosphere,”

Rousell explains.

He hopes that offering

skating and hockey in

Asquith will help keep

the local kids out of

trouble and promote

fitness and community

participation to them.

I’ve received a num-

ber of emails and

calls over the past

three weeks regarding

the Idle No More

protests and At-

tawapiskat First Na-

tion Chief Theresa

Spence’s hunger strike.

As some of you may be

aware, activists have

been protesting

changes to government

legislation including

Bill C-45, The Jobs and

Growth Act . These

protests have included

railway blockages that

have affected hundreds

of travelers and freight

across Canada.

At the same time,

Theresa Spence, the

Chief of Attawapiskat,

a remote Northern On-

tario reserve, has been

on a hunger strike in

Ottawa for nearly a

month, subsisting on

Fish broth and herbal

tea, requesting a meet-

ing with the Prime

Minister and the Gov-

ernor General.

Today, the Prime Min-

ister will be hosting a

working meeting with

a delegation of First

Nations leaders, the

members of this dele-

gation are chosen by

the Assembly of First

Nations themselves.

Chief Spence and some

First Nations Chiefs

have been unwilling to

commit to attending

this meeting.

I’d like to take this op-

portunity to explain to

you in greater detail

the legislative changes

that our government

has made to the Indian

Act in Bill C-45, and in-

form you of our govern-

ment’s response to

these protests and

Chief Spence’s hunger

strike.

My colleague John

Duncan, the Minister

of Aboriginal Affairs

and Northern Develop-

ment, as the represen-

tative of the Crown for

issues relating to Abo-

riginal Affairs, has of-

fered to meet with

Chief Spence numerous

times to discuss the

concerns she has raised

since starting her

hunger strike. Minister

Duncan is still await-

ing her response.

Every year our Govern-

ment conducts over

5,000 consultations

with First Nations and

since 2010, Minister

Duncan has personally

visited 50 First Nations

communities and had

hundreds of productive

meetings with chiefs,

councilors and Aborigi-

nal community mem-

bers across Canada.

Bill C-45 makes two

changes to the Indian

Act to streamline the

ability of First Nation

communities to make

changes to the designa-

tion of lands. These

amendments to the

land designation provi-

sions of the Indian Act

respond directly to

First Nations who have

expressed frustration

with the overly com-

plex and lengthy

processes currently in-

volved in designating

reserve land during

consultations.

Currently, in order to

change the designation

of land, a First Nation

must first receive the

approval of the major-

ity of its band’s electors

and must have consent

from the Governor in

Council.

Since 1998, 80% of

First Nation communi-

ties have failed to get

the necessary voter

participation (50% of

all electors) on the first

vote in order to change

a land designation.

Under the existing leg-

islation, if a vote fails

due to insufficient par-

ticipation, a second

vote can be held where

the participation

threshold in effect dis-

appears, and only a

majority of votes cast is

needed to modify land

designations.

The first reform Bill C-

45 provides will reduce

the voting threshold for

every designation refer-

endum from a majority

of all electors voting in

favour, to a majority of

ballots cast, as is al-

ready the case for when

there is insufficient

participation in the

first vote.

The second change is to

eliminate the require-

ment for the Governor

in Council to approve

all designations

changes, and instead

the Minister may ap-

prove the designation.

These two steps don’t

represent a fundamen-

tal shift from how des-

ignation changes are

done. These changes

will simplify the voting

and federal approval

process, not eliminate

either one of them.

More information on

these changes can be

found online at the

Aboriginal Affairs and

Northern Development

website.

Acess to afford-

able, quality

health care is one of

the most important

services a government

provides for its citizens.

That is why our gov-

ernment has been

working in conjunction

with other provinces

and territories to pro-

vide lower cost generic

drugs. This plan will

see a great reduction in

cost on six of the most

commonly used drugs.

The new prices will

come into effect April 1,

2013 on:

• Atorvastatin - used

to treat high choles-

terol;

• Ramipril - used to

treat blood pressure

and other cardiovascu-

lar conditions;

• Venlafaxine - used

to treat depression and

other mental health

conditions;

• Amlodipine - used

to treat high blood

pressure and angina;

• Omeprazole - used

to treat a variety of

gastrointestinal condi-

tions; and

• Rabeprazole - used

to treat a variety of

gastrointestinal condi-

tions.

By working with other

provinces and territo-

ries we will save close

to $10 million for

Saskatchewan resi-

dents, private insurers

and the provincial gov-

ernment. While this is

good news for

Saskatchewan families

we recognize that this

change will impact

community pharma-

cies. We will work

with pharmacies to

identify opportunities

to re-invest a portion of

the savings back into

the services they pro-

vide.

While it’s important to

ensure people have

medication that’s af-

fordable, it’s as equally

important to educate

youth about the bene-

fits of living a healthy

lifestyle. This is why

we are continuing our

efforts to reduce the

use of tobacco, espe-

cially in our youth.

The Ministry of Health

has launched the sec-

ond phase of the youth

anti-tobacco campaign

which will include tele-

vision, cinema ads, on-

line and Facebook ads

about the negative im-

pact of tobacco use on

your health. This cam-

paign will feature mes-

sages from

Saskatchewan youth

directed to the ages of

11 to 14. This is one el-

ement of an overall ef-

fort to reduce tobacco

use. Right now, stats

show that the daily

smoking rates in

Saskatchewan are at

an all-time low.

Another important as-

pect of preparing our

youth for successful fu-

tures is through educa-

tion. To that end, our

government is taking

action to ensure our

students have uniform

instructional time

across Saskatchewan.

Until now instructional

times have varied

throughout the

province which was a

noted concern for the

Provincial Auditor in

2011. After extensive

consultations begin-

ning in 2011 with the

Saskatchewan School

Boards Association, the

League of Education

Administrators, Direc-

tors and Superintend-

ents, the Saskatchewan

Teachers' Federation

and the Saskatchewan

Association of School

Business the school

year will now be set at

950 instructional

hours. This change

will bring us in line

with our western Cana-

dian counterparts and

take effect in the 2013-

14 school year.

A Chicago memorial plaque showed up on E Bay

It had been removed from the Governor’s Room in

the Chicago stadium, prior to demolition in 1992.

Ken Pattison of New Westminster, BC (and for-

mer Delisle Bruin) picked it up, along with a por-

trait. The player was Doug Bentley - listed as one

of the Chicago Blackhawks greatest players. Ken

sent this special material home to his mother

Doris, saying it needed to be in Delisle.

Barney Miller, of Prairie Promotions Inc. was

asked to mount and frame the collection which is

now displayed in the Delisle arena. The framing

matches the other NHL Delisle Greats that are

hanging in the arena.

All six Bentley boys got their start in hockey in

Delisle and over the years took their game

to great heights. Max and Doug were both

with Chicago, with Reg joining them for 11

games. Doug played there 12 years – Max

being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs,

where he won 3 Stanley Cups. The day the

collection was put in our local arena, a

great many hockey stories were shared.

Grant Norris (a great collector) tells of his

brother Jack reading a column from a vet-

eran New York sportscaster’s, who had just

watched a young Wayne Gretzky play. The

review of Gretzky was “He’s not even good

enough to hold Max Bentley’s left glove.”

Ken will be pleased that this collection is

safe, mounted and open

for all in Delisle to see.

Back in B.C., he is often

asked where he’s from.

“I was born in Delisle.”

The reply often is “Oh,

the home of the Bent-

leys.”
