Playing with kitties at animal shelter
Review Photo 9444 — Greg Nikkel
Rae-Lynn McKnight pokes her fingers into a cage with kittens as she plays with them at the Weyburn Humane Society’s animal shelter, while visiting with her mom and sister. The shelter is over-crowded with cats right now, and at the time of the photo, were expecting an influx of another 12 cats to come in. The Humane Society will be holding their annual general meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 20, starting 7 p.m. at the Hill Top Manor. New board members are welcome to join the organization.
Lawyer shares experiences after spending a year studying in Croatia
By Greg Nikkel Local lawyer Stephen Schuck spent a year studying law in Croatia, and shared some of his experiences and observations during a talk to the Weyburn Rotary Club. The son of Rotary member Tom and Marilyn Schuck, Stephen grew up in Weyburn, and took a year during his university studies at the University of Zagreb. He took international law while learning about and experiencing the local culture of Croatia. Stephen never had the opportunity to go on a Rotary student exchange when he attended high school, so when the opportunity came up to study law in Croatia, he filled out the application to go. Almost all of his classes were in English, said Schuck, which he found helpful as Croatian is a difficult language. He did try learning the language, and was able to learn about the country through his Croatian girl-
friend and her family. Noting that Croatia was part of the former Yugoslavia, and was under Communism rule with dictator Tito, he sought to find out what it was like at that time. “They won their independence in 1991, which is an interesting piece of history,” he said, noting the BBC had an excellent documentary series detailing the struggle for Croatia’s independence. Schuck learned while he was there that as part of the European Union, students in Europe could study there and receive a stipend to help pay for their education. “They encourage the integration of European nations and they foster unity in Europe.” Schuck held up a passport-sized index that included his photo, and noted his classes were kept track of in this book — but he also noted they didn’t have their schedule of classes on line, and to find where a given class
was, he had to ask around to find out which classroom it was in. “Organization wasn’t a strong suit of the university, but I enjoyed the classes.” Some of what he studied included European trade law, the World Trade Organization and international criminal law. Schuck had a peek into how these laws worked as an important decision was handed down at that time regarding a general convicted of war crimes, as he was accused of ethnic cleansing, but who was considered a national hero in Croatia. He was sentenced to 24 years in prison, but was then released as he appealed the conviction. The lawyer who handled the general’s appeal visited the university, and Schuck had an opportunity to talk with him. As he found out, it
wasn’t so much an instance of ethnic cleansing as it was the interpretation of how military and non-military targets were hit by shells. This issue was big in Croatia, especially on Independence Day, “with church bells all ringing throughout the country,” said Stephen. “It was a really unique experience.” He added that he could see the feelings of Croatians for this general “who saved them”. Tied into all this was Croatia’s bid to join the European Union, a bid that was blocked by the Netherlands unless this general was arrested and charged with war crimes. Schuck noted about 66 per cent of Croatians voted yes to joining the EU. On the country itself, Schuck said, “I would recommend you go there and experience it. It’s one of the most beautiful

areas to go see.” Some of the destinations to visit include Dubrovnik, and the city of Split located in Dalmatia, the gateway to the islands off the Croatian coast. Schuck spent Christmas at Split. “When you go there, the temperature will be like Vancouver. I look forward to eating a fish feast, and drinking locally-made wine and olive oil,” he said. One of the Rotarians asked if he felt safe in Croatia, Schuck said he did, noting they are very honest there, and a person doesn’t have to worry
about having things stolen there. Asked how he found learning about international criminal law, he admitted it wasn’t always useful or applicable to here in Canada, but added it was a good experience to learn about it, and the credits he earned for his year there were transferable to his law degree here. One of the pluses of being in Croatia or travelling there is the cost of living is relatively low there, and noted the drive along the coast is very beautiful, “unless you’re with my dad,” he quipped.

Frost on the wheat stalks
Review Photo 9439 — Greg Nikkel
Weyburn’s distinctive wheat stalks are covered with a layer of hoar frost, shining brilliantly against the blue sky. Foggy weather had painted these surfaces, and those of tree branches and bushes, with a layer of hoar frost which glistened brightly in the sunshine before being melted.

RESPONSIBLE CELEBRATIONS As people around the world celebrate a new year, it is my hope that everyone keeps in mind their own responsibilities in the back of their mind. Be respectful, and most importantly don’t drink and drive. Sabrina Kraft news1@weyburnreview.com
T
here are many ways to celebrate a new year. Some people attend big celebrations at New York or Toronto. Others have New Year’s parties with their friends and families. Others observe on their own, in quiet solitude. One of the most important things to remember is that no matter how you celebrate — that it is done in a respectful and responsible manner. The biggest part of these responsibilities is to ensure that if you do indulge in drinking during your celebrations, that you do not get behind the wheel afterwards. Even one drink can reduce your ability to react to things that happen suddenly while you are driving. The effects of alcohol include blurred or double vision, impaired attention and slowed reflexes. The consequences for drinking and driving can be much harsher than receiving a ticket. Your life and the lives of others can change forever if you drive after drinking alcohol. It is also difficult to understand the reasoning of “I have only had a few, I will be fine” when there are so many ways of getting home safely without getting behind the wheel. A person could call a cab, they could ensure to go out with a designated driver, or in bigger cities they can use the bus services. As a designated driver myself, it has always been more important to me to ensure that my family and friends get home safely. I don’t mind driving a little out of my way to make sure that happens.
There are also other responsibilities to keep in mind during our celebration times. It is important to remember that if you are hosting a large celebration that you keep in mind your neighbours — keep the noise down. It is important to remember that there are residents who might have to work the evening or early morning of New Year’s. Or that there were struggles or challenges in their lives where it might be difficult to celebrate and that they might appreciate the quiet. Each family has their own traditions that they feel are important to ring in the new year. It is important to be respectful of other traditions and other cultures. For those residents who want a more colourful explosion to their celebrations, keep in mind that firecrackers are unsafe to light in residential areas. Find a safe and secluded spot for these celebrations, and make sure that all firecrackers are lit by someone with the knowledge and the responsibility. There are many larger communities who televise their fireworks, and there are chances to enjoy those moments with friends and family. It is also nice when you can go to a live firework display. But just remember that when you partake in this tradition that you are respectful of the parking availability. Ensure that everyone can enjoy in the celebration. The new year is a time of renewal for many people. Some people take this time to resolve to improve their lives in one way or another. Resolutions can be a great way to improve one’s life as long as they are made in a respectful manner. Make sure they are something that you can achieve. Or if you need help, to ask someone in your life who can provide that support.
Another year has come By Linda Wegner Once again we’re standing on the verge of the unknown. Last year it was the same: we wondered what awaited us in 2015, and in all the Januarys before that, we asked the same question. Now, peering into 2016, we can merely guess what lies ahead. Although I am anything but a prophet, I can predict at least four things: each of us will face hard times as well as times to celebrate; true satisfaction is a matter of the heart in right relationship with God; God cares for me in every situation; and, no parent watched over their child more lovingly than God watches over us. In spite of the unknown future, we don’t have to walk alone. Seeking His direction and strength, let’s move forward with a determination to be blessed by God and to bless others. Pondering the coming new year, I came across an article that expresses
this week
how I want to live my life. The writer of this piece is unknown to me but here’s what was said: “There is a story of an old man who carried a little can of oil with him everywhere he went and if he passed through a door that squeaked, he poured a little oil on the hinges. If a gate was hard to open, he oiled the latch. And thus he passed through life lubricating all hard places and making it easier for those who came after him.” “But the land into which you are about to cross to possess, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven, a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.” Deuteronomy 11:11, 12 (Amplified Bible) Happy New Year!

Dear Ellen
The ‘Dear Ellen’ column is submitted by Envision Counselling and Support Centre Envision Counselling and Support Centre has great resources online at envisioncounsellingcentre.com or please contact one of the four offices to book an appointment: (Weyburn 306-842-8821/Estevan 306-637-4004/ Carlyle 306-453-2405/Oxbow 306-483-5555).
Dear Ellen My eight year old son has recently started to act out. He can’t control his temper and at times he hits others and breaks things around our home. His step-father also had an issue with anger. Could he be imitating his step-father even though we have not been together for three years? Signed: Melanie. Dear Melanie Children who have witnessed violence are far more likely to act aggressively than children who have not. This is what is called learned behaviour. Often, children exposed to family violence will learn to use violence to cope with stress and conflict just the same as they have witnessed. It is also true that children may have delayed reactions to things that they have witnessed. Children who have been affected by violence are at risk for difficulties which may appear immediately or in the future. Dear Ellen My wife is an alcoholic. She had attended rehab centres many times. The longest she has been sober for is two years. Everything was
great during that two year period but then she always begins to drink again. I am so frustrated. I want our marriage to work but at times I don’t think it is fair to expose my two boys to her drinking. Things have really gotten bad and now my children are acting out. Please help me, Jim. Dear Jim Dealing with an alcoholic is difficult but there is a lot of support, resources and information out there for you. The first thing I would do is become informed about the effects of alcoholism on your children. Children exposed to a parent’s drinking binge can be very traumatized and confused. Perhaps you should consider getting their school counsellor to talk to them. Often children feel uncomfortable speaking about their feelings related to their mother’s drinking with family members. I would also encourage you to contact our office as we have a Family Therapist who may be able to help all of you. Also consider an Al-Non, a group for friends and family members of an alcoholic, for yourself.

City police share holiday message
O
n behalf of Chief Marlo Pritchard and the entire staff of the Weyburn Police Service we hope each of you had a Christmas that was happy, healthy and filled with the love of the season. Being a first responder we also know that for many this time of year is not so joyous and happy. We hope that you enjoy the support of those around you. We would like to wish you the best that 2016 can bring. We understand the stresses of a busy life and of an uncertain economy and the problems that these stresses can bring to relationships. We would like to remind everyone that domestic violence is never a
solution and will only magnify the issues. There are many avenues of professional assistance and we will be happy to point anyone in the right directions. The old adage of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is certainly appropriate! We would also like to remind everyone through not only the holiday season, but each day of the year that the fallout from drinking and driving is absolutely preventable. A moment of planning your activity can prevent a lifetime of grief. Insp. Rod Stafford on behalf of the Weyburn Police Service

Health expert recommends resolution to quit smoking
It’s not unusual for restaurants or other public buildings to be smoke free — either voluntarily or by state law — to protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke. But the secondhandsmoke problem persists in private homes where each family sets its own rules. When a smoker decides to light up inside their house, the secondhand-smoke could effect the health of everyone who lives there, according to the Centers for Disease Control. That’s why getting the smoker in your life to quit could be the best New Year’s resolution you come
up with for 2016, said Dr. Gregory L. Jantz, a mental health expert and certified addiction specialist. “There are many reasons why smokers should make an effort to quit,” said Jantz. “But certainly near the top of the list is the health of the people around them.” Since 1964, about 2.5 million nonsmokers have died from health problems caused by exposure to secondhand smoke, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In children, secondhand smoke can cause ear infections; more frequent and severe asthma attacks; respiratory symptoms, such
as coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath; respiratory infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia; and a greater risk for sudden infant death syndrome, the CDC reports. Adults who never smoked also aren’t immune to the effects of secondhand smoke, the CDC reports. They can suffer from heart disease, lung cancer and stroke. The good news is that secondhand-smoke exposure has decreased over the years. From 1988 to 1991, about 88 percent of nonsmokers who were tested showed evidence of being exposed to secondhand
smoke. That had dropped to 25 percent by 2011-12, the CDC reported. “That’s a move in the right direction, and it would be great to see that percentage continue to drop,” Jantz says. Here are a few steps anyone can take toward making their homes smoke free in the coming year: The organization Americans for Nonsmokers Rights recommends posting a sign on the front door to notify visitors that the home is smoke free. The group also suggests that all caregivers and babysitters know not to smoke in or around the home,
and that any smokers who live in the house to smoke outdoors, away from entrances and windows. Recognize that smokers face a difficult task if they try to quit, said Jantz. Encourage them to gradually wean themselves off the cigarette habit. Various products on the market can help, such as nicotine patches, though the success rate isn’t high. Smokers can also try a product that has a higher success rate and doesn’t require nicotine replacement, such as NicoBloc, a solution that is placed on the cigarette filter and blocks most of the tar and nico-
tine intake, allowing the smoker to quit over time. NicoBloc also reduces the amount of secondhand smoke from the cigarette. Don’t stop with just the house. You also can make any family vehicles smoke free, further reducing the time family members might be exposed to secondhand smoke. “Nicotine addiction can be stubborn,” said Jantz. “When people have multiple addictions, it’s often the last one they are able to kick. But don’t be discouraged. People do quit, and if there are smokers in your life and in your home, they can quit, too.”

Cuddling a kitty at the Humane Society
Review Photo 9443 — Greg Nikkel
Rae-Lynn McKnight gets cuddly with a kitten at the Weyburn Humane Society’s animal shelter on Dec. 22, one of a litter of seven kittens and the mother who are being housed at the shelter. The Humane Society is over-capacity for cats, and were expecting an influx of 12 additional cats. From now until Dec. 31, the Humane Society is offering a special price deal to adopt a cat from the animal shelter, to encourage families to give a loving home to a cat or kitten.

k e e w s i h t REFLECTIONS of 2015 Top Stories of the Year
Humane Society/PetValu team up for awareness event
The Weyburn Humane Society and PetValu teamed up for the National Pet Adoption Weekend fundraiser and awareness event. Representatives of the Humane Society were at the PetValu store February 6, February 7 and February 8. “We’re so excited. February 6, 7 and 8 is National Pet Adoption Weekend and the Weyburn Humane Society will be at PetValu,” said WHS president Pam ArndtSchick. “So come on down to PetValu, grab a lunch or some sweets, look at some of our animals up for adoption and let’s see if we can get them fur-ever homes.” The Humane Society will bring along a few of the animals for residents to interact with, although many will still be left back at the shelter, requiring homes as well. In 2013, The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies collected data nationwide and noted that approximately 46, 578 animals were admitted into their shelters. That did not include information in regards to other establishments that also shelter homeless animals, such as individual private shelters, rescue and foster groups. Although great strides have been made over the years in regards to homeless animals, it remains apparent that the number of animals without a home is still quite staggering. This National Adoption weekend fundraiser and adoption weekend held in Weyburn will be our local community’s chance to help tackle the problem. As part of the weekend awareness event, the Humane Society will also have a chili fundraiser at the PetValu store. All the proceeds raised from the chili luncheon will be put towards the Humane Society. Chili with a bun and a bottle of water are available to purchase for $8. The meal is ready to take with you, so residents can grab a quick lunch to go, in support of the fundraiser.
Anyone who is interested in more information about the adoption program is encouraged to stop by the PetValu store over the weekend or contact the Weyburn Humane Society at (306)848-7387. The WHS also encourages you to visit the website at weyburnhumanesociety.ca.
Viktor Birkus arrived in Weyburn just over five years ago and with that, he brought along a fresh perspective. Viktor and his wife, Maryna, travelled from Odessa, Ukraine, where life looks a lot different than here in Weyburn. Birkus was pleasantly surprised when he first arrived in the city of Weyburn, stating that “It is just like they said it would be. A very quiet and peaceful city. The people are very friendly here.” After settling in, Viktor began to explore the city, this time with camera in hand. He began taking photos in 2011 and his time and involvement in this art form has grown quickly. Over the years, Viktor has entered trades fairs, contests and began framing and selling much sought after prints. One particular print that has caught the attention of many people, uses a technique that Birkus applies to the photo in post-processing. This particular technique is referred to as photo painting and gives the photograph an art-like “painting” type of finish. Birkus uses Photoshop finishing in a majority of his photos as he feels that the photo is “just not quite done otherwise. Photoshop takes it to the next level.” Viktor’s work in Photoshop gives his photographs a very original, colorful and
distinctive finish. Viktor has developed an eye for seeing things in a different light and a keen sense in the use of post-editing techniques. One such light, is morning light. Birkus states that a lot of photographers use the sunset hours and that is one particular reason he decided to take a different approach and photograph sunrises. Viktor’s talent for approaching his subjects from a different angle has enabled him to create a distinct and delightful portfolio. He has created a CD called “I Live in Weyburn”, which is a collection of 100 photos from the Weyburn area. Birkus created this CD for family and friends back home, as well as a memory for him. Viktor and his wife are scheduled to leave Weyburn at the end of April. The couple are relocating to B.C. Viktor and Maryna plan to make stops in some of Canada’s most beautiful and scenic areas such as the Canadian Rockies along the way. Viktor is excited for his new venture and will be sure to capture some of the country’s most beautiful scenes on his camera. He will be sure to take along with him the great memories he has made in Weyburn, along with the images he captured. To view these images visit www.viktorbirkus.blogspot.ca.

Crocus 80 to stage Rocky Horror Show
Crocus 80 Theatre will stage “Rocky Horror Show” at the King George Hotel — bringing this cult classic live on stage with a large cast of local talent. “Rocky Horror Show” will be staged on Thursday, October 29; Friday, October 30 and Sunday, November 1. The Thursday and Friday will be dinner theatre evening shows, while the Sunday will be a matinee performance. “We are very excited about the partnership with the King George so that we can stage the ‘Rocky Horror Show’ for the first time in Weyburn’s history,” said Sabrina Kraft, director. The Rocky Horror Show is a musical with music, lyrics and a book by Richard O’Brien. A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, the musical tells the story of a newly-engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist unveiling his new creation, a muscle man named Rocky Horror. “The King George is truly the best place to perform Rocky Horror Show because of the mature themes throughout the musical,” said Kraft. It is also a great opportunity to be working with so many talented local cast members, said Kraft. “There are so many creative minds on the cast, that they truly have added to the dynamic of transforming each practice into such a fun experience. I can’t wait for the finished piece to be revealed to the public.” Cast members include: Marcel Roy as Frank N. Furter, Tracy Cameron as Magenta, Nicole Griffin as Usherette and Columbia, Kyla Sonnenberg as Janet Weiss,
Steve Wilson as Brad Majors, Chantel Cooke as The Narrator, Bailey Brookes as Eddie, Austin Cameron as Dr. Everett V. Scott, Patrick Black as Rocky Horror, Dave Frayn as Riff Raff and assorted cast as the Phantoms. “It has been a great time learning the songs and the choreography as a cast,” said Kraft. “Together, the cast has aimed to truly make Rocky Horror Show as an interactive experience for our audience.” There will be a pit band providing the music, which should add even more excitement to the production. Kraft also feels fortunate for her backstage crew, who are also a valuable asset to her production. “The process of selecting costumes and props have all been coordinated by my stage manager Connie Nightingale, that the ‘Rocky Horror Show’ is a great experience.” “I also feel fortunate to have found a good light and sound crew, because all those final pieces are important when it comes to staging ‘Rocky Horror’.” There is an opportunity for audience participation for “Rocky Horror Show”, and Kraft invites anyone who is interested to come dressed in costume. “I think that is part of the fun of staging ‘Rocky Horror’ right by Halloween, the costumes become part of the fun.” One thing that Kraft wanted to note for those interested, is that some of the audience participation for the live show of “Rocky Horror Show” is different than attending the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” movie on the big screen.

Newsmaker of the Year
Tenille Arts: overwhelming response to ‘Breathe’ Weyburn’s Tenille Arts recently released the song Breathe on iTunes as a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. “The response to the song was overwhelming. On the release day, it went all the way up to #6 on the Country iTunes Chart! It has created awareness for Cystic Fibrosis in a unique way and I can’t wait to see how far we can take it. I hope people continue to download the song,” said Tenille. Tenille had two TV performances and interviews leading up to the release, and also visited local radio stations in Weyburn and Regina. Arts also entertained during the 7th Annual Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser that was being held at McKenna Hall on May 1. Mike and Cara Weger have organized this event for the past seven years following their daughter Teresa’s Cystic Fibrosis diagnosis when she was two and a half years old. This year, the proud parents were happy to watch Teresa help co-emcee the event with Derek Meyers from Regina Global TV. “I got involved with Cystic Fibrosis fundraising because of Teresa Weger. She’s an amazing 10 year old girl who happens to have CF,” said Tenille. A second fundraiser was held at the Cugnet Centre on May 14. The event, titled “So You Think You Can Dance Weyburn”, featured local amateur dancers showcasing their solos and duets. Tenille Arts, who was a guest judge, took the stage as
well to provide entertainment. Arts, who has used her talented singing voice to increase awareness about Cystic Fibrosis was one of the top eight performers competing in the “Boots and Hearts” Showcase Competition. This was an amazing opportunity to a well-deserving emerging artist who has given greatly to the Cystic Fibrosis fundraisers on a local level. In October, Tenille signed a publishing deal with Hal Oven at Noble Vision Music Group, and moved to Music City, Nashville, Tenn. She has been writing and co-writing songs since she was 15, including making trips down to Nashville to work on material, so this deal is a realization of a longheld dream for her. She said she will continue to write and co-write songs, and will have the opportunity to pitch them to singers for possible inclusion on their albums. Tenille added she will continue to work on her own stuff, as her aim is to compile enough material for a CD, which she can then take to the labels located in Nashville. She will also be able to record demos and will have opportunities to perform her songs around Nashville, with the hope of singing at the famous Bluebird Cafe again. For any more information on Tenille Arts visit her website at www.tenillearts.com. Please visit www.cysticfibrois.ca for information regarding the disease and their fight for a cure.

Rotarians hear benefits of the Toastmasters club
There are many benefits that can be derived from learning and improving public speaking skills by taking part in the Toastmasters Club in Weyburn, members of the Rotary Club heard at a recent luncheon meeting. Brad Korbo, who has been a Toastmaster for 26 years, outlined the programs and meeting formats for the Wey-Better Speakers Club, which is seeking
to charter a new club in Weyburn. The club meets at the Weyburn Public Library at 7 p.m. on Thursday evenings. Korbo noted his association with Toastmasters began when he changed jobs to one that required him to speak and make presentations. “I did not enjoy it, and when I looked around at my audience, they weren’t enjoying my presentation,
and I knew I had to do something.” Korbo visited a few clubs, and found one at the third club he visited, the Wild Oats Club, which met at the Sask. Wheat Pool at the time. Established in 1924, today the club has 330,000 members in 15,400 clubs around the world, he said, with southeast Asia in particular growing. Outlining how club meetings are held, Korbo
Hope the coming year is rich in blessings for you and yours.

May you enjoy abundant health, happiness and good fortune in 2016 and beyond.

develop particular skills,” said Korbo. Some of the speaking projects include how to organize a talk or speech, how to develop one’s confidence, how to use gestures or how to use humour in a presentation. As a member, one can be a club officer at the club level or at a higher level. In the communications program, there are 10 different speeches a member can
make, each one of which is evaluated by fellow members, and each member goes at their own pace. “It’s a safe place to risk and make mistakes. You can try something new and see what you can improve on, and you will have opportunities to gain confidence,” he said, adding a person can take one or five weeks to prepare for a speech, at whatever pace they feel comfortable with.

Producers reminded of crop insurance deadline
The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is reminding producers Dec. 31 is the final deadline to submit 2014 AgriStability forms and pay 2015 program fees. Producers must pay program fees by the end of December to participate in the AgriStability Program for the 2015 program year. An enrolment/fee notice was issued earlier in the year providing details on the fee and the deadline for payment. April 30, 2015, (or 30 days from the date on the enrolment notice, whichever is later) was the initial deadline for paying program fees. A 20 per cent penalty will be added to the fee if producers missed the initial deadline. All forms for the 2014 program year need to be submitted by Dec. 31 to ensure producers can access AgriStability benefits. The initial deadline for sending in program forms was Sept. 30. Forms received after this date and before Dec. 31 will have
a $500 per month penalty; however, if no benefit is generated there will be no penalty applied. SCIC accepts all program forms from individuals (sole proprietors), corporations, co-operatives and other entities. Individuals are reminded the T1163 form, which details their income and expense information, must also be submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency. Producers also have a number of options to meet this deadline. The program forms can be submitted through AgConnect, as well, producers can review their enrolment/ fee notice and detailed calculation of benefits through this online option. AgConnect is appreciated for its ease of use and the ability to quickly send AgriStability information to SCIC, allowing processing to begin sooner. SCIC also continues to accept AgriStability program forms through mail, fax or at any of the 21 Crop Insurance offices across the province.

Mammoth tusk fossil is discovered
In early October, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) was contacted by Derek Lucik, Operations Manager with Inland Aggregates, about a potential fossil discovery at a work site just a few kilometres east of Saskatoon. The fossil was confirmed as a tusk of a woolly mammoth and is currently being conserved at the RSM. “As we were stockpiling gravel that had just been mined, our operator Richard Kaweski noticed something that was outside the norm,” Lucik said. “Richard came down from his machine and put the tusk piece aside. I’ve heard that this is not uncommon in our Alberta locations and that they normally contact the museum; so we attempted to do the same thing here. “I simply looked online and found Tim Tokaryk’s contact information and reached out. He responded quickly and definitively that it was a tusk.” The swift action of Kaweski and Lucik enabled the team at the RSM to properly conserve the tusk. “Conservation of ivory from fossil animals is extremely delicate as, once the tusk becomes exposed to air, it begins to dry out, expand, and crack,” said Tim Tokaryk, Royal Saskatchewan Museum Curator of Vertebrate Palaeontology. “If left untreated, it would be totally destroyed. We certainly appreciate Inland Aggregates and their workers in the discovery of this find. It would be lost to everyone if it had not been for them.” “This is a great story of industry assisting in preserving Saskatchewan’s palaeontological history,” said Mark Docherty, Minister of
Parks, Culture and Sport. “I commend the employees of Inland Aggregates for protecting the tusk and contacting the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.” Industry, through active gravel pits, surface and subsurface mining, construction or road work, often unearths rocks that are millions of years old, and they may contain never-before-seen fossils. Frequently, these rocks are not visible on the surface in Saskatchewan. “By industry and the museum working together, notification of fossil discoveries could add volumes not only to the history of life in Saskatchewan, but the history of life on the planet,” said Tokaryk. Mammoth remains are unique in that they tell of an environment of tundra at the edges of ice fields during the glacial period. Almost all of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum’s collection of mammoth remains are isolated bones and teeth except for the partial skeleton of one found near Kyle.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, practicality is a big part of your personality, but sometimes thinking through the reasons to do something over and over can be tedious. Let loose a little bit this week. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, expect to feel pulled in two directions this week. It’s a pivotal time at work, but in the same measure, you have much going on at home. Think things over carefully. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may find your energy levels unusually low this week, and your productivity may suffer as a result. Maybe someone else can energize you a bit and lend a helping hand. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you will get to your destination soon enough, but the trip may be a bit of a headache. Patience is essential this week; otherwise, you may give upprematurely. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Misinformation is spreading, so research everything to make informed decisions this week, Leo. It may help you avoid an expensive mistake down the line. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may have a wonderful time with family or friends this week, even if you are crunched for time. Savor the small moments as they come your way. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this is a good week to catch up on paperwork, filing or tedious tasks you have let fall by the wayside. Make use of the slow week to recharge.

Ring in 2016 with these lifelong learning tips New Year’s Eve can be a time of laughter and enjoyment. Invite friends over that have children and plan a special night of fun together with activities that are sure to delight all ages. The start of a New Year provides a wonderful excuse to get together with friends and family and brush up on your literacy skills. “Ring in 2016” together with these lifelong learning tips. Aim High. Gather your family together and have everybody write down at least three New Year’s resolutions. When everyone has finished, take turns reading your resolutions out loud and discuss ways you could help each other to achieve them. Read Together. Start a book club with friends and family! Pick a new book to read as a group, or re-read one of your old favorites. No matter what, don’t forget to discuss the book when everyone is done, it will help improve reading comprehension and vocabulary. Math Challenge. With a partner, take a deck of cards and place them facedown on the ground. Starting with two cards each, see who can add the numbers on their cards the fastest. Keep going and see how many cards you both can do! Being able to do simple math on the go will come in handy when it comes to calculating tips, estimating interest, and figuring out your change. Dream Vacation. Just because the holiday season
is over, doesn’t mean you can’t still get away. Work together as a family to plan your dream vacation! Begin with an imaginary budget and see how many places you can go, or activities you can do, while staying within your allotted expenses. G e t I nvo l ve d - J o i n schools, libraries, families, and literacy organizations across Canada on January 27 and celebrate Family Literacy Day! Here are some ideas for activities to share with your family: • New Year’s is a great time of reflection on the past. Travel back in time and share with your family some of your favourite memories from your childhood. Cook them your favourite dish from when you were a child. Share with them what it was like to grow up when you were their ages. Discuss and share what kinds of music/ television shows you watched as a child. For entertainment, play your favourite childhood
board games. Let your children share some of their favourite things with you. • Make a time capsule together. Gather pictures, drawings, artwork and memories from the last year. Decide when you are going to open your time capsule (next New Year’s for example). • Have a family pajama party camp out. Build a fort in the family/living room. Bring out pillows, sleeping bags, etc. Read a favourite story together. Enjoy ringing in the New Year together as a family. • Make some countdown goodie bags. Fill a brown paper bag with a craft idea or a game. Draw a clock on the outside. Have one for each hour to countdown New Year’s. This is a great way to help children learn about numbers, the concept of time and reading a clock. These are just a few of the many ways to ring in the New Year. Have fun! Make memories!

Cooling system replaced at St. Joseph’s Patients, residents, staff and visitors at St. Joseph’s Hospital of Estevan will enjoy the security of a new cooling system when the hot weather hits next year. The $880,000 project has been completed under budget and on schedule. The Ministry of Health funded the project. The project, jointly managed by St. Joseph’s Hospital of Estevan and Sun Country Health Region, accepted bids from three companies earlier this year for purchase and replacement of two new chillers and a
cooling tower. The cooling tower was awarded to H.V.A.C. Sales as the successful tender. The chiller acquisition was awarded to H.V.A.C. Sales and the chiller installation was awarded to Walter’s Industrial Mechanical. “We are very pleased that the work has been completed on time and under budget,” said John Knoch, Vice President Corporate and Financial Services, Sun Country Health Region. “Not to proceed would have meant that
St. Joseph’s may have encountered a lack of air conditioning over the summer if the second chiller had failed,” said Knoch. “Service to patients in the 53 acute care wing and the 38 Long-Term Care wing, staff and visitors, as well as the operating rooms and central sterilization areas that require specific temperature/humidity controls, would all have been impacted.” “The region could not allow that to occur.We need a reliable cooling system at St. Joseph’s.”
