Local artists showcase in the James Weir event Over 20 local artists are showcasing a variety of art mediums in the annual James Weir People’s Choice art exhibition. “ T h e J a m e s We i r People’s Choice art exhibition is a very different art show,” said Regan Lanning, curator of the Weyburn Arts Council.

Displayed at the Allie Griffin Gallery, located on the lower level of the Weyburn Public Library, the James Weir People’s Choice art exhibition will be displayed until Feb. 11.

The local artists who are featured in the exhibit have displayed a number of different mediums, including paintings (oil, watercolour and acrylic), photography, pottery, sculpture, and fabric art. It is a great introduction to the variety of the Weyburn arts scene.

The thing that makes the James Weir People’s Choice art exhibit truly different is that the winners are determined by those who vote on their pieces.

During the James Weir People’s Choice art exhibit, people are encouraged to visit the Allie Griffin Art Gallery throughout the month of January, and vote on their favourite pieces.

Artists competing this year are: Joanna Fenwick, Christopher Borshowa, Jo Ann Fahlman, Lawrence Barber, Barry Lautner, Elisa Fawcett, Jean F. Fahlman, Leena Honig, Casey E. Kievits, Nicole Griffin,

City Centre Mall, Weyburn, Sask.

Artist Deanna Pierce Colbow displays her mixed media piece “Lightning Strikes”, which is displayed in the James Weir People’s Choice art exhibition.

What inspired me to paint “Lightning Strikes”? As a young child, growing up on a farm … one of my favourite things to do was to watch a storm unfold … the best seat in the house was on the top bunk bed near the window in one of our bedrooms! I still love storm watching, but I’ve never had a better seat than the one out at Grassdale !

Deanna Pierce Colbow, Carley Istace, Bradley Istace, Jaynie Himsl, Max Himsl, Shelly Babiarz, Rickee Lee Webster, Heather van der Breggen, Amanda Payne, Murray Williams, Lyn Johnson, and Kathryn Groshong.

A reception evening for the James Weir People’s Choice exhibit is set for Thursday, February 11, at the Allie Griffin Art Gallery at 7 p.m.

Lanning noted that the reception is a great night to meet all the artists. Plus, the James Weir People’s Choice awards will be presented. “Join us for a great night of celebration when we reveal this year’s winner as chosen by you.”

Recently, the Weyburn Arts Council also hosted the “Creation with Light” reception at the Signal Hill Art Gallery on Wednesday evening. The genius of Art Beck, Art Wallace and Kim Schneider are being featured in an amazing show in the art gallery.

The “Creation with Light” photography exhibit will be on display at the Signal Hill Art Centre second-floor art gallery until the end of February.

Featured at the Credit Union Art Gallery is the “Femme Fatale” exhibit, which is a collection of photographs by Weyburn’s own Christopher Borshowa. These photos celebrate the power of women, and feature local models.

Weyburn O.T.S. set to rock the house for 58th annual bonspiel

The Weyburn Oilfield Technical Society (OTS) will host their 58th annual bonspiel on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 22 and 23, at the Weyburn Curling Rink.

This bonspiel is for personnel who are directly employed in the oil industry. The OTS bonspiel will include a guarantee of three games for all participants, and all games will be six ends with the four-rock rule in place. Games will be played in a skins format, which means the team with the most money earned in the game wins.

In addition to the bonspiel, there will be a Friday night banquet on Jan. 22, and a Saturday morning breakfast on Jan. 23. During the ban-

quet, which will be held in the Weyburn Curling Rink lounge, there will be door prizes drawn for.

Any interested teams or individuals who would like to take part in the bospiel can contact Michael Mainil at Caprice Resources to help fill in if any players or teams drop out of the competition. There are currently 16 rinks in the bonspiel registered to take part, but more teams can be accommodated. Interested curlers can get an online registration form by visiting weyburnots. webs.com.

The Weyburn Oilfield Technical Society supports minor sports programs in Weyburn, in addition to other worthwhile community events.

CURLING: a challenge that has endured the centuries

Gliding stones across the ice toward a central target, while preventing your adversary from doing the same, is the ultimate goal of curling. It may seem easy at first glance, but mastering this sport requires a great deal of finesse and strategy. Perhaps that’s why the popularity of curling has endured over the centuries.

Curling is also a sport in constant evolution. With time, its technique and equipment have been greatly refined. We’ve come a long way since the days when 10-kilogram stones were thrown across the frozen lakes of Europe and particularly in Scotland, where the modern version of this sport originated. There’s no doubt about it; curling has certainly come a long way

since the 1500s! When the sport arrived in Canada in the 1800s, authentic granite stones were hard to come by, so players replaced them with iron forged in the shape of rounded teapots!

Despite the sport’s rudimentary origins, curling continues to attract a great number of players. In fact, more than one million Canadians now play this sport at least once a year, whether it’s for competition or the pure enjoyment of it. The 1,200 curling clubs across the country are always ready to welcome you for a friendly game that’s filled with action. Take up the challenge. You’ll be surprised by how much fun curling can be!

Physics students Jordan Zackrisson, Laurel Oberkirsch and Laura Hansen look over the design of their rollercoaster project with teacher Karen Kennedy Allin at the Weyburn Comp. This Physics 30 class was to design and build a rollercoaster project using their knowledge and understanding of physics, with calculations and explanations provided for how they designed their project. The calculations have to show the potential and kinetic energy, velocity and acceleration, and the total power generated by the project, along with the amount of energy lost by the steel marble as it travels through the rollercoaster.

CELLPHONES ARE NOT TOYS

It is important to remember that cellphones do have an important function in our lives, that should be used responsibly. When you provide a cellphone to youth, make sure they are not viewed as toys.

Sabrina Kraft news1@weyburnreview.com

L

et’s face it, for most Canadians their cellphone plays an important function in their day-to-day lives. A cellphone can retrieve and send emails, it can track important appointments, it can capture pictures, and most definitely it can be a lifeline to friends and family.

In many cases, cellphones are considered a necessity by many Canadian families — instead of a luxury item that it once was, when cellphones debuted into our lives. In fact, these days, cellphones have become a very popular consumer electronic product.

There are many debates whether people have become too reliant on cellphones. We question if the features of online access, text-messaging and game apps are making cellphone users less likely to socially interact with their environment.

But this editorial itself is about the responsibility that should come into effect when one has a cellphone.

We all must take responsibility when using our cellphones. There are many incidents where cellphone use is inappropriate (like in a movie theatre), or it is downright dangerous and unnecessary (like when you are driving).

Especially if cellphones are provided to youth, they need to truly understand those responsibilities.

A cellphone shouldn’t be just handed over by a parent like it is a gift. Instead, it would be a much better decision to look as a cellphone as an investment. To ensure that the youth in question is able to commit to

the responsibility completely — even financially.

That little guidance would go a long way to educating them about many other responsibilities. In a fashion, by educating our youth about these responsibilities, we are helping them prepare for their future and their adulthood.

It is also important that every adult ensures that our youth truly understand the power of a cellphone. One of these vital pieces of education is to ensure that they understand that participating in negative comments on social media with their cellphone is never appropriate.

It is also very impolite to make ‘prank calls’ with a cellphone (just as it would be impolite to do so with a house phone). Take the time to remember that not all jokes are funny, nor do you truly know the situation or the challenges faced by another person, who might be the target of the prank.

One of the challenges of the popularity of cellphones, is that the issues of bullying become even more impossible to track in today’s technological world, with messaging forums that can be deleted.

It can occur online, through text messages, or even through methods like SnapChat.

Then, when it seems like that cellphone is the only lifeline for our youth — they feel alone and vulnerable. They feel like they have no one to talk to, even though they have a resource right in their hands.

Sometimes the best way to be a good role model is just to practice these suggestions yourself. Take the time to review cellphone responsibilities with your youth, and be the person they feel comfortable talking to about any of their problems.

When God Does the Work

By Linda Wegner Although I rarely think about it, as I walked the track this morning I pondered the magic that happens when common ingredients are mixed in specific ways.

It’s a phenomenon that takes place in our house every day and probably, in yours as well.

Here’s an example: before leaving for my daily walk I combined two kinds of flour, some buttermilk, yeast, salt and a couple of tablespoons of honey. When I arrived back home the mixture was ready to shape and put into pans. After spending forty minutes in the oven, the results were delicious — we had plenty of whole grain bread for the next few days.

Later this afternoon I’ll bake cookies for company supper as well as special cookies for my diabetic husband. So many variations on simple components but the results are oh, so different. The secret is knowing what to include, what

this week

to omit and how to prepare them. When we master those basics, the ordinary can become outstanding.

Although I’m not aware of any Scriptural reference to God as a Master Chef or Baker, I learned many years ago that he can take the things that make us who we are and the things life throws at us, put them together with a never-ending stream of his grace and love and then, even in the “oven” of tough times, transform us into a marvel of his goodness.

In my musings this morning I realized there are few miracles greater than this transformation. In Psalms 42 and 43, the writer reminded himself of the following recipe in the face of trouble.

This is how he put it: “Why are you cast down, oh my soul? Why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, the help of my countenance and my God” (Psalms 42:11).

Diary from the Ice

Written by Macy Liebrech of the Southern Range Gold Wings The Gold Wings returned back to the ice during the week of January 4th refreshed from the Christmas break and ready for action. Currently our team is sitting in third place in the league.

Our first game of 2016 was in Notre Dame where we battled hard but couldn’t seem to buy a goal. After a five-minute overtime and several rounds in the shootout we came out on top with Chantal Burke taking the win in net. This past weekend we headed off to Saskatoon to play our final regular season games against the Saskatoon Stars. The first night was a hard-fought game but at the end of 60 minutes of play we lost 2-1. However we redeemed ourselves in the second game with a 3-1 win against the Stars. We came together as a team and worked hard. It was a very fast-paced game but we managed to stay on our game and it paid off. We had many fans travel to our games this weekend and when we scored it was great to hear the crowd erupt in cheers!

This weekend we are in Winnipeg to compete in the 2016 Shaftersbury Titans tournament. Last year this was an extremely competitive tournament and was very challenging — the competition is high quality hockey.

Today, January 15, we will be taking on Shattuck St. Mary’s Sabres U19 at 8:15 a.m. and then the Peace Country Storm at 2:45 p.m.

On Saturday, January 16 at 9:45 a.m. we will battle the Westman Wildcats. Feel free to follow the tournament action since all tournament scores and stats will be kept at the following site: www.shaftesburytitansprep. ca/page/show/2171513-winter-classic-2016- or follow us on Twitter at @futureshockey. Heading into tournament action this weekend, our team has recuperated from most of our injuries from before Christmas break.

We are happy to have Janissa Cooley back in the line up and hoping for the return of Shelby Kirpatrick and Shakara Chutskoff in the coming weeks.

Our hard working Esso Cup Committee continues to work hard at promoting our event in the community and

AUDITIONS! 2016 Provincial Summer Tour

January 30 & 31 The Southern Range Gold Wings won the Esso Cup during the national tournament in 2013 selling ticket packages. Ticket packages are $60 which includes access to 19 games during the week of April 17-23.

These packages are available by calling 1-306-713-9585 or by stopping at the Weyburn Review office to be sure to get your package today! The committee has also compiled a list of volunteers who have graciously offered their time and talents to help out during that week and they will be contacted in the near future to begin making a schedule.

If you are interested in volunteering you can speak to any Esso Cup committee member or let the Gold Wings staff know and your name will be forwarded.

January is already flying by and we will be playing hockey every weekend so it will go by fast. The Gold Wings encourage everyone to check out the Weyburn Minor Hockey “Hockey Day in Sask.” this weekend at our local rinks — you will get to watch some great hockey and support our local players. Our next home game will be Sunday, January 24 at 2 p.m. when we take on Melville.

Our next two home games will be Saturday, January 30 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, January 31 at 2 p.m. when Swift Current will be in town. The first half of the season was successful and I’m excited to start the last half of the year with the team and staff we have! Bring on 2016.

You. Are Going. To Die.

By Pastor Jay Mowchenko, Weyburn Free Methodist Church “What if you only had one year to live?” That was the opening line to the latest of several blogs and videos I’ve seen talking about the latest way to make your new year’s resolutions stick. Instead of the usual attempts to exercise, eat healthier and spend money more responsibly, there are a lot of people out there recommending that we spend some time contemplating our mortality. They say that if we think about the fact that some of us actually WILL die this year, it isn’t too big of a stretch to include the idea that it might be us.

You would think that if time was short, we might be more tempted to indulge in risky, extravagant behavior.

Not so, say the “experts”. People who are more focused on living in the “now” actually pay more attention to the best parts of their lives: time with loved ones, slowing down to savour and enjoy life, and letting go of petty grudges. Mortality focused people are supposedly more interested in what really matters in life, while people who see things going on for a long time are more likely to indulge in impulsivity.

The author of the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible seems to agree with these experts! He begins his philosophical journey by complaining that everything is mean-

ingless: “Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.”

Thinking about various ways to live his life, he concludes, “The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.”

Wisdom is better, he says, but you’re still gonna die!

His advice? “I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil — this is the gift of God.” That would make a pretty decent New Year’s resolution, wouldn’t it?

But he persists in his meditations and ends up thinking about things from a little deeper perspective: “Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong (5:1) … Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come (12:1).”

If we are all going to die sometime, perhaps it’s good to start our New Year not only thinking about how short our life is, but what might happen beyond it?

May God bless you in 2016!

Benefit applications easier for parents with newborns

eHealth Saskatchewan (eHealth) has partnered with Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to make it easier for parents to apply for federal and provincial benefits for their newborn children.

Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development and Saskatchewan Health Minister Dustin Duncan, announced the Bundled Birth Service which will give Saskatchewan parents the option to apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) and Canada child benefits for their newborn at the same time that they register their child’s birth.

“It’s an important time for parents, when a baby is born,” said Duclos.

“Through our collaboration with Saskatchewan, we are simplifying processes to allow parents to spend more quality time with their newborn.”

“The Government of Canada is committed to

providing faster service that supports and assists Canadians,” said Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue. “That includes helping them obtain the benefits to which they are entitled. The Canada Revenue Agency is actively partnering with federal and provincial departments to make it simple and easy for families across Canada to access Canada child benefits at a time when life can be particularly demanding.”

“Welcoming a newborn into the world can be an exciting and very busy time for parents,” said Duncan.

“Our government is committed to supporting new parents and this new birth bundling package will make it quicker and easier for them to access government services related to the birth of their child.”

“We understand that new parents have their hands and arms full when they welcome a new addition into their family and

don’t have a lot of extra time to be filling out paperwork,” said Susan Antosh, eHealth Sask. CEO. “Giving parents access to four optional government services through one comprehensive form will mean more free time to spend with their loved ones.”

After the birth of a baby, parents will receive an improved and more user-friendly Registration of Live Birth form, which makes it easier for parents to register the birth of their

child and also apply for related government services, including: Social Insurance Number through ESDC; Canada Child Benefits (CCB) through CRA; Saskatchewan Health Card, through eHealth; and Saskatchewan Birth Certificate through eHealth.

The Registration of Live Birth form is available in health care facilities throughout Saskatchewan.

With their child’s SIN, parents can access various Government of Canada

programs and benefits including the Canada Learning Bond and the Canada Education Savings Grant.

Applying early for CCB ensures that parents receive the credit and benefit payments to which they are entitled, on time and in the right amount.

In addition to registering births, eHealth is responsible for providing health services cards and registering deaths, marriages and changes of name that occur in the province.

k e e w s i SPORTS th Tickets going fast for the Sportsman Dinner

JANUARY 15-17, 2016 • WEYBURN

Tickets are going fast for the annual Weyburn Red Wings Sportsman Dinner. The expectation is for this year’s event to be the biggest and best ever.

The Sportsman Dinner will be held in a new venue at the Cugnet Centre on Saturday, Feb. 6.

Myrna McFadden will be providing a gourmet meal for the evening.

“With the new venue and the quality of our speakers, this event will be one you won’t want to miss,” said Tyler Wawryk, office and marketing manager of the Red Wings.

Headlining the event will be Paul Coffey, who is a Hall Of Fame NHL defenseman. The 54-year-old

is best known for his speed and scoring ability, ranking second in all time scoring by a defenseman.

Coffey racked up the hardware during his career, winning three Norris trophies and four Stanley Cups. Through 20 seasons in the NHL, Coffey played for nine different teams.

Co-headlining the event is Gregg Zaun, the Manalyst. He is a TV star of Blue Jays Central on Sportsnet and will provide an inside look and behind the scenes stories from the Blue Jays’ historical season this past year.

Zaun will speak about his 15-year baseball career in the major leagues, including being a part of

Preparing fresh ingredients for a stir fry

Review Photo 9479 — Greg Nikkel

St. Michael students Kylie Van De Woestyne, Sydney Meyers and Morgan Sprecken cut up cucumbers, carrots and zucchini respectively as they prepare fresh ingredients for a stir fry in Home Ec. The Grade 8 class is learning basic cooking principles and techniques so they can cook simple but nutritious meals on their own. They were able to stir fry these vegetables and sample their cooking by the end of the class.

Long-form census will be available online for 2016

The next Census of Population will take place in May 2016. This year, the census will be available online, in addition to being sent to all Canadian households.

Starting May 2, Statistics Canada will make the census available to all Canadians. The census is designed to collect information about people based on their demographic, social and economic characteristics, and is the primary source of reliable demographic data for specific groups such as lone-parent families, seniors and language groups. Census information is important for communities and is vital for planning services such as child care, schooling, family services, and skills training for employment.

Marc Hamel, the census program director general,

reported that the agency has planned for risks associated with the 2016 census. One of those risks was if a new government decided to bring back the long questionnaire.

“It had already been in the public sphere that opposition parties last year were saying, if they were elected, they would bring back the mandatory long-form census, so we had started to look at how that would be possible.”

The agency designed the questionnaire in a more adaptable format. Rather than sending selected households separate pieces of mail with the short form and then the National Household Survey, the questionnaires were integrated into one document. “That design was going to be efficient and it was going to work for both

approaches,” said Hamel.

“From that perspective, no redesign was required. We were simply able to move ahead with the same questionnaires that we had already designed for 2016.”

Also, because most Canadians fill out the census online — 64 per cent in 2011 — changing details in a computer system was not a major overhaul. The letter that accompanies the questionnaires will allow the agency to underline that the long part is mandatory again. Census staff will also drive home the message.

Fewer people will have to fill out the long form than last time, one in four households rather than one in three with the National Household Survey. Statistics Canada has had to print more shortform questionnaires as a

A Digital Storytelling Workshop will be coming to Weyburn, as hosted by the Saskatchewan Genealogy Society.

Scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, January 23 and 24 at the Weyburn Credit Union Community Room, the Digital Storytelling Workshop will give residents a chance to create their own three- or fiveminute digital story on their family history.

Digital storytelling is a creative way to tell a firstperson narrative using written language, visual imagery and sound. With the facilitator’s assistance, participants will craft and record first-person narratives, collect photographs

to illustrate their stories and add music.

This workshop will be facilitated by Evie Ruddy, a digital media artist, freelance journalist and creative writer.

Evie Ruddy’s short documentaries and personal essays have been broadcast nationally on CBC radio. Her print work has appeared in Reader’s Digest, The Toronto Star and Briarpatch Magazine.

Past workshop participants have created stories about special family members, cultural traditions, family history, hobbies and more. To register this workshops, residents should call the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society.

These workshops are open to everyone — from teenagers to seniors — and previous technical experience is not required.

There is a maximum of six participants per workshop. Participants should bring with them a laptop, a set of headphones and about 10 to 15 digital or hardcopy photographs.

Residents can bring scanned images of census records or marriage certificates, for example, or images to be scanned, family memorabilia to be photographed or photographs of family memorabilia.

Instructions will be sent to each registered participant prior to the workshop to assist with preparation.

result of the change. The main challenge will come from adjusting to the data logistics of bringing back the long-form census. There

will also be a public awareness campaign to make sure that people realize they need to fill out the forms. Hamel said that the agency has

never really emphasized the penalties associated with not filling out the forms — a $500 fine or up to three months in jail, or both.

A house owned and used by HELP International is being prepared for removal from the city farm property.

“The Saskatchewanderer program offers us an opportunity to showcase our diverse province to a large audience,” said Mark Docherty, Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport.

“Neil has a unique background of work and travel, and he’s turning his passion into a career. We look forward to seeing his photography and videography talents highlight the many amazing people and places of Saskatchewan.”

“Neil has an exciting year ahead of him as the 2016 Saskatchewanderer,” said Jeremy Harrison, Min-

ister responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan. “He has an important role to play, promoting the province’s wealth of attractions and events, as well as the jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities in tourism.”

CAA Saskatchewan has been a proud sponsor of the Saskatchewanderer program since its inception in 2011. Throughout the year, Fisher will make stops at CAA Saskatchewan events and also at CAA Stores to meet members and visitors.

Planning for Neil’s 2016 expeditions is underway.

New Saskatchewanderer is excited for 2016 From photos on the cover of the National Post to video footage aired on TV in Canada, the United States and Switzerland, the 2016 Saskatchewanderer has an impressive resume.

But Neil Fisher couldn’t be prouder to add “Saskatchewanderer” to his resume.

“I’m beyond excited!” said Fisher. “I’ve already done a fair bit of exploring here in Saskatchewan, but I still see it as an exotic, far-off land with countless wonders waiting to be discovered.

A great Canadian, Chris Hadfield, said ‘Exploration stretches our understanding’ and I can’t wait to give the world a better understanding of what this amazing province is all about.”

Fisher has travelled along Canada’s west coast, through the Prairies, up in the Arctic and all the way to Australia capturing his experiences via photographs and video to share with the world through his blog and social media.

Fisher grew up in Coquitlam, B.C. and currently calls Saskatoon home. A coworker told Fisher that he would make a great Saskatchewanderer and that is what prompted him to apply. He realized that becoming the next Saskatchewanderer would allow him to make a living doing what he loves.

Before moving to Saskatchewan, Fisher worked as a marine mammal trainer

Sylvia’s

at the Vancouver Aquarium and then as a videographer, telling the stories of the Vancouver Aquarium’s animals and the work of the aquarium and its people.

Fisher’s photography has been featured on the covers of the National Post and The Vancouver Sun. He has had work published in National Geographic’s children’s magazine, NatGeo Explorer, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History used a photo of his in an exhibit focusing on bioluminescence.

His video footage has been seen around the world and aired on major news networks, from CBC and Global in Canada, ABC

Applications open for summer jobs funding Not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees looking to hire full-time workers for summer 2016 can now apply for funding under the Canada Summer Jobs program.

The Canada Summer Jobs creates summer job opportunities and valuable work experience specifically for youth aged 15 to 30 intending to return to their studies in the next school year.

The program aims to help employers create summer job opportunities that focus on priorities important to their communities, which could include special events such as sporting or cultural occasions.

In the Souris-Moose Mountain riding, the priorities focus on tourism, agriculture, and oil and gas, but all eligible applicants are encouraged to apply.

“I encourage southeast Saskatchewan not-forprofit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses to apply for funding so that we can help our students gain the skills and experience they need to be successful, while earning money for the upcoming school year,” said Dr. Robert Kitchen, MP for Souris-Moose Mountain.

It is hoped that a number of employers will come forward with applications which will also comple-

ment a number of national priorities.

These priorities include: employers who help welcome and settle Syrian refugees to Canada, as well as Syrian students; Indigenous people, who are among the fastest-growing segments of the Canadian population; small businesses working to become more innovative, competitive, and successful, in recognition of their key contribution to the creation of jobs; and cultural and creative industries creating jobs and to strengthen a rich Canadian identity.

Working on the fine details of painting

Review Photo 9470 — Greg Nikkel

Grade 10 student Denae Neufeld takes her time as she concentrates on the fine details of her painting in Art 10 class at the Weyburn Comp School. In this assignment, the students were to pick out an image from a magazine that appealed to them and they created a painting based on that image. With the end of the first semester approaching, students are finishing up class projects.

Weyburn Christmas bird count spots 21 species The Weyburn Nature Society conducted their annual Christmas bird count just before Christmas, with 15 participants counting up 21 species and a total of 1,374 birds, said organizer Val Thomas.

Four of the participants watched bird-feeders and counted the birds that came to eat at them.

The count is done as part of a country-wide birdcounting effort conducted annually, with the results sent in as part of the province’s bird numbers.

The Weyburn group was required to do the count in one day, within a 15-mile diameter around the city.

“The way the day started,

we wondered if we would see any, but in the end it wasn’t too bad. It was about average.”

The most numerous birds were snow buntings, with 525 of those counted, and one of the rarest sightings was of a common grackle, said Thomas.

Broken down by species, there were 71 gray partridges, seven ring-necked pheasants, 29 sharptail grouse and one golden eagle.

There were also 135 rock pigeons, 33 Eurasian-collared doves, two great horned owls and two snowy owls.

Thomas noted the number of snowy owls are usually higher, but seemed down this year.

The totals included two

downy woodpeckers and one hairy woodpecker, with 24 black-billed magpies and four common ravens. Counts also included three horned larks, one red-breasted nuthatch, three white-breasted nuthatches, 30 European starlings, 70 Lapland longspurs, 100 common redpolls and 330 house sparrows.

Thomas noted the redpolls is one species that is one seen here every second year.

Animals which were sighted during the Christmas bird count, are also counted, included 14 Eastern fox squirrels, one jackrabbit and one coyote.

The results were sent to the provincial coordinator of the bird count.

Main Street Program at its deadline Today, January 15, is the deadline for organizations to apply for funding from the Main Street Saskatchewan Grant Program.

The Main Street Saskatchewan Program was created to help communities apply the highly effective Main Street Four-Point Approach.

The Four-Point Approach is a comprehensive, community-driven strategy for revitalizing historic downtowns and neighbourhood commercial districts — the traditional

centres of business, community and cultural life.

Main Street Saskatchewan offers two tiers of participation. Communities that are able to fully meet the program’s rigorous performance standards participate at the top Accredited level, and receive the full package of program benefits and services.

The Main Street Approach is a community-driven, self-help program that requires strong local commitment. Application and adjudication processes for the

program is administered by SaskCulture.

The Main Street Program will provide up to 50 per cent of eligible project expenses to the following maximums: Heritage Conservation Projects of $20,000; Capacity Building Projects of $10,000; and Community Enhancement Projects of $10,000.

The grant is designed to support projects that help communities achieve their revitalization goals. It does not provide funding Main Street operations.

Do you own land with ditched / drained sloughs?

We’ll plug the ditch and restore the slough back to previous condition.

Receive a one-time payment of $2,000 per acre* for each re-established slough acre.

Compassionate care EI benefits are increased by federal government

An increase in the duration of the Employment Insurance (EI) compassionate care benefit was recently announced by the federal government.

Mary-Ann Mihychuk, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour, highlighted the changes, which will provide additional financial security

to Canadian workers and their families in times of need. “I am glad to announce an increase in the duration of the compassionate care benefit. Going forward, we have pledged to work toward giving Canadians more support by making this benefit more flexible, easier to access and more inclusive,” said Mihychuk. The federal

government will work towards providing more generous leave for caregivers in the future. They have committed to making the compassionate care benefit more flexible, easier to access and more inclusive, said Mihychuk.

Compassionate care benefits provide temporary income support to eligible individuals who must be away from work to provide care for a gravely ill family member at risk of death.

Effective January 3, the enhanced benefit, announced in 2015, allows claimants to collect up to 26 weeks of benefits, up from the current six weeks.

Further, the period during which benefits can be taken is expanded to 52 weeks (up from 26 weeks).

Benefits can be shared between family members.

Eligibility for compassionate care benefits remains the same, including the requirement for a medical certificate signed by a doctor attesting to the family member’s condition. Corresponding changes to the Canada Labour Code will come into force at the same time to ensure that the jobs of employees in federally regulated enterprises remain protected while they avail themselves of compassionate care benefits under the EI program. It is estimated that up to 6,900 claimants per year could benefit from the enhanced measure that took effect in January 2016.

In 2013–14, program costs for the current compassionate care benefit amounted to $12 million. An additional $37 million is being added annually to extend the duration of the compassionate care benefit over and above the current program costs. The measure will have a negligible impact on the EI premium rate.

Extension made to Syria Emergency Relief Fund The timeline for individual charitable donations to be counted toward the government’s Syria Emergency Relief Fund will be extended until February 29, as recently announced

by Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of International Development and La Francophonie.

For every eligible dollar donated by individual Canadians to registered Canadian charities in response to the conflict in Syria, the government will continue to set aside one dollar — up to a total of $100 million — to the fund.

“Canadians have dem-

onstrated great compassion in welcoming refugees to Canada. The Syria matching fund is a complementary way for Canadians to assist in helping millions of people still requiring assistance abroad. I have no doubt Canadians will continue to rise to the occasion and give to those most in need,” said Bibeau.

The government-administered fund will provide assistance through international and Canadian humanitarian organizations to help meet basic humanitarian needs of people affected by the conflict in Syria, including shelter,

food, health care and water.

It will also provide protection and education for conflict-affected people in Syria and millions of refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.

“The Government of Canada has taken a dual approach to the refugee crisis by supporting resettlement in Canada and relief efforts abroad. The extension of the deadline for matching funds will better allow Canadian charities to provide urgent relief and support to the children and families affected by the ongoing Syrian crisis.”

The Government of

Canada is a leading donor in response to the Syrian crisis, having provided over $969 million in humanitarian assistance and funding for development projects and security and stability initiatives since the beginning of the crisis, including $100 million, announced on November 26, for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

Close to 4.3 million people fleeing Syria have sought refuge in neighbouring countries. The federal government seeks to resettling 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada by the end of February.

Regional KidsFirst tips on ‘Bedtime Problems’ Children need a good night’s sleep. Parents also need a good night’s sleep.

As parents, our goal is to establish healthy, independent sleep patterns for our children. Some children will go to bed without a fuss. However, there is always that child who refuses to go to bed!

Bedtime problems may be occurring in your home for different reasons.

When your child was an infant, you likely rocked her to sleep or fed him until he fell asleep. Your child has learned this pattern for sleep time. Now that your

child is through the infant stage, he needs to learn to go to sleep independently.

Perhaps your toddler has learned that when he screams or cries, mom or dad will come rushing in to sooth him and remove him from the crib/bed.

This provides no reason for that toddler to stay in bed, as he has learned that mom or dad will take him out to cuddle or play. If you continually give in to your child’s screams and cries (providing your baby is fed, watered, and clean), your child will not learn to fall asleep independently.

First semester exams to start for Comp students With final exams for the first semester starting on Monday, Jan. 25, activities are slowing down at the Weyburn Comp School.

This weekend in basketball the senior girls are in Moose Jaw, the senior boys in Swift Current and the junior boys are in Estevan for their final tournaments before the end of semester.

The wrestlers are at the “Rumble in the Jungle” in Saskatoon on Saturday.

Then the teams will start up again the last weekend in January.

The annually hotly contested McLeod Series will start on Wednesday, Feb. 3, with the first set of games

in Estevan. The series will resume in Weyburn on Feb. 10 in the Eagle Gym. Weyburn will try to start a long winning streak again after relinquishing the trophy to Estevan last year, breaking a winning streak that started back in 1984.

There will be a parent/ grad meeting at the Cugnet Centre on Wednesday, Feb. 3 at 7:30 p.m., so that Weyburn Chem Free Grad can organize their events for the graduation day.

Plans will also be released next week for the Grade 6, Grade 7 and Grade 8 Parent Information Nights that will be held in early February.
