Exciting changes for the Therapeutic Animal Park
T
he new year has brought some changes for the Therapeutic Animal Park. One of the biggest changes was keeping the Animal Park open during the winter. The bunny pen at the Animal Park also got a permanent roof on it. One end of the small shed in the alpaca/goat paddock was also boarded up, so that it would provide shelter from any wind. Every once in awhile, the alpacas are split up, with Cooscoe being off in a pen to himself. He is still kept close to Humphries, so that the two could see each other. The little fainting goats are wintering well with their alpaca buddies and both of them are gaining weight quickly. Coalette, the mini pony, is
slowly learning manners after being alone in her pen for a while. But a new penmate will join her, a shetland/welsh cross called Shadow. Shadow is bigger than Coalette, but is a gentle soul with lots of patience and a huge fondness for children and attention. Work has stopped on the new bird pen due to the weather and some scheduling conflicts. But the plan is to complete the new bird pen by this summer. There are also ongoing plans to complete the picture gallery, brick sidewalk, and other projects around the Animal Park. The main goal is to ensure that the Animal Park is more enjoyable for the patrons that visit. Any volunteers who want to donate some spare

time to help with these projects are encouraged to contact Don Sealy or Tammy Stendall. This spring will be somewhat busy and possibly noisy time for the Therapeutic Animal Park, as their volunteers will be doing their yearly health routines. The alpacas will need to be sheared and will have their feet and teeth done. These are painless, but necessary jobs, although the alpacas might voice their displeasure during the cleaning procedures. The same holds even more true for the pigs and the goats when it comes time to trim their hooves. It is also during spring time when all the animals who need deworming and vaccinations get their pills and their shots.

The care of the animals is the most important focus for any volunteers who help with these spring jobs. There is good contact with the local vets with any health concerns, and there is also a myriad of other volunteers who are willing to share their expertise and experiences. All the animals have warm beds, plenty of food and water, and lack for nothing when people come to the Animal Park to visit them. The animals enjoy the company of those who visit the Animal Park. It is important to remember that those visiting the Animal Park show respect to the facility itself, and all of their animals.

Grade 6 students Kristina Junk, in front, and Rachel Keith work on painting their mural pieces during a special art session at Queen Elizabeth School. The session was led by local artists Heather van der Breggen and her daughter Rickee-Lee Webster, who then assembled all of the mural pieces in to four large murals in the school hallways.

RAISE THE ‘LET’S TALK’ BAR
The conversations around mental health that have been taken to the next level because of the promotion and awareness of the “Let’s Talk” Day. But it is important to remember to keep the conversation going. Sabrina Kraft news1@weyburnreview.com
T
he sixth annual Bell “Let’s Talk” Day was held Wednesday, and there definitely was a lot more promotion and awareness of the special event. The “Let’s Talk” Day encourages Canadians to take their conversations around mental health to the next level, and reduce the stigma around mental illnesses. A number of celebrities rose to the cause, even the new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, and they opened up their hearts and shared conversations about the impact of mental health in their lives. It is important to remember the purpose of “Let’s Talk” is to continue to share our stories and encourage people to focus on the simple ways to reduce the stigma around mental illnesses in their communities. Remember, that language matters, and that it is important to pay attention to the words you use about mental illness. It is also important to remember that mental illnesses can take many forms, just as physical illnesses do. Mental illnesses are still feared and misunderstood by many people, but the fear will disappear as people learn more about them. We are fortunate that due to the hard work of the Canadian Mental Health Association, their branches and their volunteers, that there are many experienced people who you can turn to for advice. Our own local chapter has an assortment of brochures and outreach programs that are available for anyone. This ties into the fact that it is important to educate yourself when it comes to mental health. The more
you learn, the more you can understand about a mental illness and you might be able to identify signs when someone you care about is struggling. There is also a wide range of innovative services and supports for people who are experiencing mental illness and their families. These services are tailored to the needs and resources of the communities where they are based. Another small (but important) step people can take is to be kind. Small acts of kindness speak a lot. Sometimes all a person needs is to know that somebody else cares about them enough to give them a compliment, to congratulate them on a job well done, to be a listening ear, or a helping hand in times of difficulty. Of course, sometimes it is best to just listen, and be a supportive person who others are comfortable coming to for advice or for assistance. There are also many places where those in need can turn for support, such as the Canadian Mental Health Association. It is also important to remember that the person who is often the ‘listener’ for problems also needs somebody in their lives who will listen to them. It takes a heavy pair of shoulders to be constantly called upon during times of support. If you have someone in your life who is that supportive of you, make sure that they feel appreciated for their time. Finally, as the whole event suggests, talk about mental health and mental illnesses. Start a dialogue, break the silence, share your stories. Make sure that the conversation continues throughout the year. By bringing the conversation to the next level — we are all becoming mentally healthier.
When friendship rules
By Linda Wegner
I’ve always heard that if you’re going to mess things up, make a good job of it. Based on that premise, this week I did an excellent job of demonstrating my skills. Anyone who knows me knows that I truly enjoy cooking, baking and entertaining. I don’t create gourmet dishes, but I work hard at serving delicious homestyle cooking with health considerations and financial constraints in mind. On Thursday, with flavour, nutrition and a budget included in my considerations, I went about planning what was supposed to be a delightfully delicious supper for some dear friends. I purchased an appropriately sized and priced beef roast, peeled some of the potatoes still remaining from last summer’s crop, boiled red beets and dug into the deep freezer for apples. This was going to be one good meal! As it turned out the recipe for roast beef I found in one of my trusted cooking
websites, was delicious … but rare on the inside (as in bleeding rare). Fred and I loved it; however Sharon couldn’t bring herself to try it. Her husband graciously ate a slice. And the beets. Beets, I found out, are the one vegetable that Fred detests. Fortunately Sharon let me know in time to dig out some frozen peas to supplement that end of the meal. The apple pie was everything I’d hoped for and, indeed, the redeeming feature of the evening repast. The best part, though, was the great fellowship and the laughter we shared; it truly was an example of the joy that results when friendship trumps human frailty. In the end I confirmed the veracity of two premises: Make a good job of making a mess and, don’t try new recipes on visitors. Even better? He’s always there! “The Lord upholds all who fall and raises up all those who are bowed down.” (Psalm 145:14)

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 Every time I go out with my friends my boyfriend suspects I’m cheating on him. I have never cheated on him and have told him so many times. I have tried cancelling plans with my friends to avoid upsetting him, but he still finds reasons to accuse me. I love my boyfriend but I don’t know what to do. Signed Nancy. Dear Nancy First I would like to share with you the early warning signs of an unhealthy relationship This is shown by ‘around the clock’ charming attention. Often in dating relationships, the abuser begins the relationship with exaggerated attention such as always phoning, stopping by unan-
nounced to see what their partner is doing, bringing or sending candy or “love notes” and offering to do anything and everything for them. Most often, the victim is flattered by this and believes it to be a sign of love and caring rather than control and possessiveness. Exaggerated attention usually slips into possessiveness. The abuser arranges it so the victim does not have time to do anything else but see them. The abuser wants all the victim’s attention for himself or herself. It is easy to confuse possessiveness with love. From exaggerated attention to possessiveness, it can easily flow into jealousy or the habit of watching over their partner with unreasonable suspi-
cion and apprehension. These first three examples of exaggerated attention, possessiveness and jealousy often appear all at once and can overlap at times. There also can be signs of abusive talk, criticism of others and competing for attention from other people in an unhealthy relationship. Dear Ellen My child is being bullied at school, what can I do to help? Scott. Dear Scott Being bullied is never a fun experience. If your child has told you that they are being bullied is very important that you just listen. Let them tell you what is happening in their own words. Don’t respond by dismissing their experience as a part of ‘growing up’. Adults don’t put up with going to work and being yelled at or hit. Kids shouldn’t have to either. What you do next is very important. As parents our reaction may be to go to the bully’s parents or the bully and tell them to stop treating your child this way. This may be the very response that your child is dreading. In fact, doing this could make it worse for your child as they are scared of the revenge from
the bully if they tell. You probably won’t get the reaction from the bully or the parents you were looking for anyway. There is a good chance they will both deny it, and the parents may display similar behaviours as their child. Talk to your child about what to do next. It is important that they learn new ways to deal with the situation. Going with your child to talk to a teacher or a school councillor is a good idea if your child is comfortable with that. They can help with ways to deal with bullies. It is important for your child to deal with their feelings; making a diary of their feelings and the bullying incidents is a healthy way to deal with their feelings. Most importantly, assure your child that they are okay and they are not the one with the problem. Tell them you love them and do some fun things with them as it will help your child feel better about themselves. There is a lot of further information on the Internet, at the public or school libraries. Consider speaking to a counsellor at the school or in your community that can also offer suggestions on how to further help your child.
The Precious Gift of Human Life By Father Gerry Bauche St. Vincent de Paul Parish
The terrible tragedy that was unleashed upon the community of La Loche in northern Saskatchewan could be repeated in several such communities, where there is a lack of infrastructure and meaningful activities that can occupy the youth and families of those isolated and forgotten communities. I pray and hope that all those government officials and other support agencies have not just engaged in empty rhetoric, but that there will be significant resources to help re-vitalize those communities that are like powder-kegs ready to explode. The outpouring of concern and sympathy for those lives snuffed out in an instance serves to highlight just how precious and valuable each human life is and how unfair it is for them to be ended prematurely and senselessly. We will never know what those individuals would have accomplished if given the chance for their lives to be extended longer. Given the number of abortions committed for the sake of inconvenience, embarrassment and disruption, one can also ask why these lives were not permitted to exercise their particular contribution to society. Our society has come to accept that it is okay to kill another human being, if someone judges it is bad timing, inconvenient, or a problem which will disrupt other plans from proceeding. And it seems before long we will allow killing or “assisted dying” at the other end of the spectrum of life. Whatever rationale is used for seeking to end one’s life because it is no longer agreeable to Notice of Intention to Designate continue living, it is hard to justify the taking of life Municipal Heritage Property into our own control and determination.

The View from the desk of Marga Cugnet, CEO, Sun Country Health Region
Work, work and more work
2015 was another extremely busy year for Sun Country Health Region. At the beginning of the year in Kipling, residents and staff were still settling into the new Integrated Health Centre. As with any project, there were a few issues to complete. The official ribbon-cutting and dedication for that facility and for the new Radville Marian Health Centre took place in March, with the Minister of Health and the Minister for Rural and Remote Health. Planning for the possibility of a case of Ebola entering this Region kept our staff busy in the spring as the number of cases increased in Africa. As a result of that plan, there was enhanced staff training for the appropriate response to a potential case and the Region now screens patients/ clients for their travel histories when patients present to an emergency department. The 2015-16 provincial health budget was exciting for the Region. One of the features was $500,000 to start the plan for replacing Weyburn General Hospital. A consultant worked with us to develop a business case, which has since been submitted to the Ministry of Health. Recruitment and retention of staff, particularly doctors, therapists, nurses and cooks, remains at the top of our agenda. The Region needed doctors for Kipling, Arcola, Fillmore, Carlyle, Wawota/ Maryfield and Redvers. Vacancies have been filled in Kipling, Arcola and Redvers. We are still recruiting for some communities. In August, the Region reopened Redvers Hospital with two doctors, with a third doctor joining the practice later. Unfortunately, one doctor left in January due to family reasons but a replacement doctor, one of the local students on a bursary

with SCHR, is coming soon. In the planning stages were renovations at St. Joseph’s Hospital of Estevan to install a CT scanner and a new cataract surgery program at Weyburn General Hospital. Digital computerized x-ray service (Ris/pacs) which sends x-ray images to Regina was expanded to Kipling and Radville Health Centres. The productive shared services and group purchasing programs created through a partnership of all regions for projects such as linen services, transcription, enterprise risk management, lab work, medical imaging, environmental services, are in various stages. Sun Country Health Region benefits from the dollars saved with this partnership, along with the other regions. Our local Lean work continues with rapid process improvement workshops that reorganized several different complex processes in the Region, and smaller workshops to help staff reorganize their workplace more efficiently. The objective in all cases is to train staff to look objectively at the way they do their work to find more efficient methods that open up more time for direct patient/ client care and to reduce errors that might harm patients/ clients/residents. This also results in fewer expired items being stored, creating a saving from over-stocking. It would be easy to get caught up in the work of the day and forget the big picture here. But each time I see a patient/resident/client walking in, visiting with family or listening to the positive experiences of patients, I’m reminded that all this work is intended to maintain and improve the health care our staff members deliver to you and yours. That’s what this is all about.

egal, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leone, Uruguay, and Costa Rica will be receiving shoeboxes packed by caring Canadians. For the second consecutive year, shoeboxes from Canada are also going to Ukraine. It has been wracked with violence, and thousands of children and their families have been forced to flee for their lives — leaving everything behind. The gift-filled
shoeboxes show them that people in Canada know about their plight and care about what happens to them. Samaritan’s Purse has also been supplying Ukrainian families with emergency food, clothing, blankets, and more. “This is the second consecutive year that Canadians have packed at least 30,000 more boxes than the year before,” said Randy Crosson, Director of Operation Christmas Child
Canada. “Each shoebox is a chance to show hurting children that they are loved by God and by us, and the generosity of Canadians will once again bless children who likely have never before received a gift.” Canada’s contribution is part of the worldwide 2015 collection total of more than 11 million shoeboxes. Some of those boxes are going to war refugees in Iraq, as well as to those who have fled to Europe.

Saskatchewan wins first-ever LEED gold award
The Ministry of Central Services has received its first-ever LEED® Gold certification under the prestigious Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, administered by the Canada Green Building Council, for the Tamarack building at the Pine Grove Correctional facility. “This demonstrates the government’s commitment to reduce the environmental impact of our operations and our dedication to environmental sustainability in the construction and renovation of the province’s facilities,” said Jennifer Campeau, Central Services Minister. “I’m very pleased of the work that went into seeing this facility attain executive government’s first-ever LEED Gold certification.” The new Tamarack Building at the Pine Grove Women’s Correctional facility in Prince Albert was awarded a gold certification in December of 2015. The LEED green building rating system is used worldwide to recognize building projects that are environmentally responsible and energy efficient, among their many attributes. Also, the Tamarack Building at Pine Grove was awarded LEED Gold certification for a variety of its environmental benefits aimed at reducing water and energy consumption. Sustainable highlights include: a unique rain water collection system that stores and uses rain water for toilets and irrigation, reducing the use of fresh water for the facility. Water efficient landscaping that is drought-resistant and allows for reduced watering. Water efficient fixtures and features that allow the facility to use 49 per cent less potable water than the baseline LEED average for the National Model for a Correctional Building. Also, 71 per cent of the building’s electricity requirements over a two-year period will be green power from renewable energy resources. Energy efficient features that allow the facility to use 56 per cent less energy than the baseline LEED average for the National Model for a Correctional Building. More than 87 per cent of waste from demolition and construction was recycled. Construction materials used for the project contained 32 per cent recycled content. Translated into everyday usage, water savings would be equal to the annual water usage of 7.5 average Canadian homes and energy savings would be equal to the annual energy usage of 30 average Canadian homes. “We are very excited about the LEED Gold certification for Pine Grove,” said Christine Tell, Corrections and Policing Minister.
“Like our Police and Crisis Team program and recent data analytic announcement, the design of this building is another example of the innovation our province is using within our corrections system.”

More roster moves made by the Sask. Roughriders
Pushed away from the net

Southern Range Gold Wings forwards Baillee Bourassa (No. 4) and Maeve McGauley (No. 11) both get pushed away from the net, after the Melville Prairie Fire goaltender grabs the puck. The Gold Wings will host two home games against Swift Current on Saturday, January 30 and Sunday, January 31. Both games are at Crescent Point Place.
More roster moves were made by the Saskatchewan Roughriders coaching staff in the last week, including re-signing international quarterback Darian Durant to a new contract. Durant is set to enter his 11th season with the Roughriders after originally signing with the team as a free agent in 2006. The 33-year-old University of North Carolina product will enter 2016 among the franchise leaders in all statistical passing categories. His 24,668 passing yards and 135 touchdowns each rank third among the Roughriders all-time leaders — while also putting him inside the top 25 alltime CFL leaders in both categories. Through 98 career starts, Durant has collected 54 wins, 43 losses and one tie while being named a west division All-Star in 2009 and 2013. Durant is a two-time Grey Cup champion having won with the Riders
as the starting quarterback in 2013 and as a backup quarterback in 2007. Also, national fullback Spencer Moore was signed to an extension to remain with the team. Moore will return for his fourth season after originally being selected by the Riders in the fifth round (44th overall) of the 2013 CFL draft. The 25-year-old McMaster product has been a solid contributor on special teams through his first three seasons picking up 14 tackles, while also chipping in on offence with nine receptions for 55 yards through 35 regular season games. He won his first career Grey Cup in 2013 as a member of the Riders. Moore was eligible to become a free agent on February 9. The Riders also established new contracts with national defensive back Dan West and national punter Josh Bartel.
West will return to the Riders for his second season after originally joining the team in July, 2015. Last season, the 29-year-old Ontario native picked up six special teams tackles in 11 regular season games. Prior to the Roughriders, West spent three seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers after signing with the team as a free agent out of Bishop’s University. West was eligible to become a free agent on February 9. Bartel will return to the Riders for his second stint after spending the 2014 season. The 29-year-old Australian born kicker was originally acquired by the team in a trade with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Through three CFL seasons, Bartel has totaled 335 punts for 14,520 yards (43.3 yard average) including an 83 yard long in 49 regular season games. He is a two-time East Division All-Star picking up nominations in 2012 and 2013.
New fight added to the Queen City Coronation Prestige FC has added to its already stacked lineup for the Queen City Coronation with a second title fight that will crown the queen of its featherweight division. Hometown fan favourite Charmaine “Not So Sweet” Tweet will vie for the title against Jessy “The Widowmaker” Miele as Prestige FC hands out its first two titles. The other title fight will declare the king of the featherweight division as Kurt “The Hurt” Southern squares off against Nick “Nyquil” Rhoads (all bouts pending ACS approval). The Queen City Coronation takes place on Saturday, March 12 at the George Reed Auditorium inside The Orr Centre in Regina. Tickets can be purchased by calling Regina Tickets or in person at The Orr Centre box office. Tweet is ranked No. 7 in the world by www.mmarising.com and No. 8 in the
world by www.fightmatrix. com. Tweet picked up her second straight technical knockout victory when she dusted Anna Barone in the first round of their trilogy fight at Prestige FC 1 back in October. A winner in three of her last four outings, Tweet has five victories via submission on her career docket. Tweet remains the only woman who has fought both the phenomenal Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino and former UFC champion Ronda Rousey. A native of Prospect, Connecticut, Miele has posted three submission wins and has already started 2016 on the right note with a victory coming on Jan. 2. She is ranked No. 15 in the world by www.mmarising.com. Over the course of 2014 and 2015, the 28-year-old manufactured a four-fight winning streak that included back-to-back victories over Lissette Neri. Prestige FC has signed several new

Annuals are a staple in extended fall grazing Submitted by: Nadia Mori, PAg, Regional Forage Specialist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture.
Dealing with uncertain weather patterns is never easy. Annuals can provide livestock feed within a relative short period of time or during unexpected pasture shortages. Annuals are also a staple in extended fall grazing and winter feeding options such as greenfeed and silage. Cool season annual options include barley, oats and triticale. Barley is usually the preferred choice for swath grazing, greenfeed or silage and suitable for all soil zones. Smooth-awned forage varieties should be used. Harvest is recommended at the soft dough stage. Oats provide a high yielding forage option particularly in the black and grey soil zones. Overall feed quality is considered lower than barley but can be a useful swath grazing or greenfeed crop. Oats should be cut at the late milk stage. Triticale can produce similar yields to oats on black soils. It matures later compared to oats and barley. Triticale should be cut at the milk to early dough stage. Mixing cereals like oats or barley with forage peas can provide a higher protein greenfeed option. Cereal/ pea mixtures should be cut based on staging of the cereal in the mixture. Warm season annual op-
tions include millets and corn. Millets can be grown in all soil zones but perform best on well drained, south facing soils. Because millets are a warm season crop, most of the growth will occur during the hottest summer months. Golden German Millet, a foxtail millet, takes between 70 to 90 days to heading and is generally higher yielding compared to proso millet. In comparison, a crown millet, which takes around 60 to 65 days to heading. Millets for silage are cut around early heading while millets for swath grazing are cut about two to three weeks after heading. Corn can be useful as a silage crop but can also be grazed standing. Corn can provide high yields but is also an input intensive crop requiring high fertility and intensive weed control. Weather factors like early frost can dampen yields. Corn should be grazed at the 50 per cent milk line. When considering annuals, it is important to know the economics involved to determine a good fit with the rest of the livestock operation. Fertility and weed control are often critical. Annuals should be feed tested as nitrates can be a concern. Gradual introduction to annual forages and limited access to high grain feed can help prevent grain overload in ruminants. Spread risk of feed loss by avoiding a feeding plan that relies on a single annual crop.

‘Celestial Being’ play will come to Weyburn
Students at Assiniboia Park Elementary School will have a special opportunity of live theatre right in their school, through the traveling tour of “Celestial Being” by Dave Deveau. Presented by the Green Thumb Theatre and organized by the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC), “Celestial Being” will be presented at Assiniboia Park on Tuesday, Feb. 2. In “Celestial Being”, the main character Celeste is having a hard time at school. She can’t seem to make any friends in her class, so she decides she must be from outer space. Celeste knows there is a whole world of people who are like her up in the stars, so she starts building a spaceship to bring her back to her home planet. That’s when Celeste meets Martin, a new boy at school, who wants to help build the rocket, and the adventure takes a new turn. “Celestial Being” ex-
plores the world of a young girl with a big imagination and her struggle making social connections. As we see the world through her eyes, and the tremendous colour and joy that her inner world presents, we realize that seeing things differently can be a wonderful gift. Teachers who have had classes attend previous shows of “Celestial Being” have responded positively to the theatrical piece. One reviewing teacher said that “I have watched numerous Green Thumb productions over the years and ‘Celestial Being’ is one of the best!” Another teacher stated that the show was “believable, great acting, especially the fact that it held the attention of the kids, even the youngest ones.” “I could tell by watching the audience during the show just how much they enjoyed the presentation. They were totally drawn in and en-
gaged,” said another teacher. “ Also, many of our staff commented that they really enjoyed it. This was an awesome learning experience for our students. The two actors were amazingly talented.” Green Thumb Theatre was founded in 1975 to develop original plays for young audiences and celebrates 40 years of touring this year. They use live performances to educate and empower young people. Green Thumb creates and produces plays that explore social issues relevant to the lives of children, youth and young adults. Green Thumb provides theatre that celebrates the language and stories of today’s generation and culture to stimulate empathy, debate and critical thinking. They believe in the value of taking their shows to communities that would otherwise be unable to access live, professional theatre. The theatrical experience is open to anyone in the community.
one in your family or circle of friends is affected,” said Warren Wagner, Regional Director for the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) in Saskatchewan. “Diabetes is a cause of 30 per cent of all strokes, 40 per cent of all heart attacks, 50 per cent of all kidney failure requiring dialysis and 70 per cent of all lower limb non-traumatic amputations.” The CDA’s recent report on diabetes, Driving Change, highlighted the action needed to address gaps in the care available to Canadians living with diabetes in the face of rapidly growing numbers. Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use
the insulin it produces. This leads to high levels of blood glucose (sugar), which over time can result in serious complications. In prediabetes, a person’s blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Nearly half of those with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes. For people with diabetes, keeping healthy requires a balance of nutrition and physical activity along with medication if prescribed and monitoring of blood sugar levels. Lifestyle is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes but family history, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, and environment also play a significant part.

There was an agreement from Highways to have a light standard up without break-away bolts, enabling a new standard to be put up at the intersection quicker. Review Photo 9664 — Greg Nikkel
Walmart Canada stores commit to new waste-elimination priorities
Report shows increase of people with diabetes
The number of Canadians living with diabetes has doubled since 2000, and will grow by another 40 per cent by 2026. In Saskatchewan, the number of people living with diabetes is expected to grow to approximately 97,000 in 2016. This means 28.5 per cent of the population will be living with diabetes or prediabetes, including many living with the disease but undiagnosed. The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that 30 per cent of all people living with diabetes are undiagnosed. “Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in Canada and there is no denying its seriousness.

Walmart Canada announced that beginning February 9 that it will stop providing free plastic bags to customers in an effort to promote the use of reusable bags and ultimately eliminate plastic film from land-fill. The initiative is the latest waste-elimination priority in Walmart’s ongoing commitment to achieve zero waste. Walmart Canada’s 12 waste programs — including cardboard, organics, metal and others —has resulted in the diversion of 72 per cent of Walmart Canada’s waste from municipal land-fill sites. Customers will be encouraged to use reusable bags, which will be sold at a discounted rate of 25 cents. Walmart will continue to offer plastic bags at
a fee of five cents per bag to those customers who request them. “We recognize we are asking our customers to change their shopping practices, but we strongly believe that removing plastic film from our waste stream is imperative to reaching our goal of zero waste and will encourage our customers to broaden their already existing waste-reduction efforts,” said Lee Tappenden, chief operations officer at Walmart Canada. “We know from our experience in other international markets that an incentive in the form of a fee to encourage customers to adopt reusable bags reduces single-use plastic bags by more than 50%. Similar programs here in Canada have reported
comparable successes.” In addition to offering reusable bags and imple-
suppliers to find new ways of removing plastic from its packaging processes.

plastic bags has been identified as a key environmental concern and has
been called out by municipalities as a large contributor to land-fill waste. In addition, at the 2016 World Economic Forum it
was estimated that plastic will outweigh fish in the world’s oceans by 2050 if efforts to reduce the use of plastic are not put in place. “Recent internal research has identified that our customers feel we use too many plastic bags and that the reduction and elimination of plastic bags are the responsibility of both consumers and retailers,” said Tappenden. “While we recognize our ultimate goal of eliminating plastic film from our operations altogether won’t happen overnight, we believe our customers are open to supporting this goal by switching to reusable bags.” The elimination of free, single-use plastic bags will roll out progressively across Walmart stores in Canada over the year.

PotashCorp gives $1 M donation to food banks
Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) and the Food Banks of Saskatchewan celebrated a successful $1 million matching gift campaign in support of the province’s 29 food banks, including Weyburn’s Salvation Army food bank. Once again Saskatchewan people demonstrated their spirit of giving during the holiday season, donating approximately $1.8 million to the food banks. For the sixth year running, PotashCorp provided a $1 million donation. “ Ye a r a f t e r y e a r, people do not hesitate to step up for the province’s food banks, which are an invaluable part of the food security network in Saskatchewan,” said Wayne Brownlee, PotashCorp Chief Financial Officer.
“This cause is close to our hearts at PotashCorp and we are grateful that so many others feel the same way.” Food bank use in Saskatchewan increased almost 51 per cent between 2008 and 2015, according to the most recent Hunger Count report. Forty-five per cent of people helped by the food banks are children. “Food banks across Saskatchewan offer their thanks to PotashCorp for this amazing partnership and community leadership,” said Steve Compton, Executive Director of the Food Banks of Saskatchewan. “This support ensures that in communities large and small across Saskatchewan, food banks will continue to support families and individuals experiencing hunger and food insecurity.”

k e e w s i GAMES th ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 There is no harm in being ambitious, Aries. But a little humility to accompany that ambition can go a long way. Accept any recognition you earn in an appropriate manner. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Your desires make it seem like anything is within reach this week, Taurus. You may have to work a little harder to achieve your goals, but hard work is its own reward. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Postpone chores that are not essential, Gemini. This way you can make the most of your upcoming free time with friends and family. You deserve a little break now and again. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, try to avoid stretching yourself too thin in the coming weeks. Your ambition and energy are at an all-time high, but if you do not slow down, you can easily get burnt out. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 It’s impossible for people to try to contain all of your energy this week, Leo. Direct your energy in a positive way and use it to reach your goals. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Express your feelings without any inhibition, Virgo. Others will appreciate your honesty, especially if you employ some tact when sharing your opinions. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, no matter how crazy your life is right now, you still manage to come out looking no worse for wear. You have a handy way of making lemonade out of sour lemons. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Your long-term career opportunities are looking good, Scorpio. If you do what makes you happy, you will always end up on top and financial rewards will follow. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, although you see lucrative career opportunities at every bend, you are not ready to make a big change. You will know when the moment has come to make a change. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Proceed gently if you want to make any real progress, Capricorn. You’re feeling more optimistic, but you still need to exercise caution. Common sense can keep you grounded. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, friends may arrive at your home with plans for fun and adventure. Any kind of celebration or social situation is what you crave right now. Go ahead and enjoy yourself. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Don’t worry about a potential conflict, Pisces. In due time you will realize this was nothing to get worked up about.

Rotary Club hears update on plan
Leisure Services gears up for a very busy year By Greg Nikkel The City of Weyburn’s Leisure Services Committee and Recreation Department are gearing up for a busy year in 2016, including plans for a replacement of the paddling pool at the Don Mitchell Tot Lot, with plans to open it by Canada Day, July 1. Mathew Warren, the Leisure Services director for the city, gave an overview of the plans for activities and facility upgrades to the Weyburn Rotary Club on Thursday. One of the questions posed to him, by Rotary member Bob King, was the status of a proposed fieldhouse at the Comp, as space elsewhere will be at a premium soon. He pointed out that the gym at the former St. Dominic School will no longer be available this year, plus the Weyburn Junior High will not be used once Grades 7-9 transfer over to their new home at the Weyburn Comprehensive School once the current school year is finished. Warren said there have been meetings held with the Ministry of Education to find out the status of the Weyburn Junior High School building. Plans are at this point for that building to be demolished once the junior high grades have been moved out. The plans are also to build a new elementary school to house the students from Haig and Queen Elizabeth Schools, but right now the timing of all that is up in the air. “Right now it’s a wait-
ing period,” he said, pointing out the plan was to build a fieldhouse onto the new elementary school, to allow for year-round indoor playing of sports like soccer, lacrosse or even sports like cricket. He said the cost estimates right now range from $8 to $12 million, depending on the design. Pointing to the fieldhouse design used in North Battleford, Warren noted they have three levels, which enables people to come in and walk even when there are events being held on the main playing surface. “For me, it’s waiting, and waiting is hard,” he said, noting the trend for the last while is towards recreational facilities that are an alternative to skating rink. “The gym space in Weyburn is going to get pretty tight,” said King. Asked about the proposed second water spray park, set for River Park, Warren said council is about to begin their budget deliberations and this project may quite likely be put off for now as they have not been able to get a sponsor for part of the costs. “We’ve struggled getting funding for that venue,” said Warren, noting its estimated cost is between $350-400,000, based on its final location. “Usually we try to get 50-per-cent funding, but we haven’t been able to get that yet,” said Warren. The sponsorship was found for the paddling pool, he noted, with the Young Fellows Club of Weyburn paying for half
of the costs to replace it. One of the new aspects to Warren’s job is that the City has taken over the operations of the Soo Line Historical Museum, with washroom renovations underway right now while it’s closed for the winter. The City also got a grant from Heritage Saskatchewan to upgrade the mortar of the bricks on the exterior, with half of the building to be done now, and the other half in a couple years’ time. Club member Brenda King asked about rumours that the museum was going to be run by students. Warren noted that he is the manager of the museum, and there will be students hired to run it over the summer in much the same way that the Heritage Village is operated. This spring, as part of the preparation for the Esso Cup midget girls hockey national championship, which will be held in Weyburn from Apr. 17-23, the current halide lights will all be replaced with the brighter LED lights. The advantages are that these lights will last for 15 years compared to two years for the halide lights, and the electricity costs are much lower. The lights in the Sports Arena were all switched out, and the costs of keeping the lights on are much lower now than they used to be. The switch-over of the ice will take place Mar. 7-10, as all the logos currently on the ice have to be removed for the national championship series.
Butter-making in a jar
Review Photo 9654 — Greg Nikkel
Program participants Erika Sinn and Keera Tessier, along with assistant leader Renee Bobier, shake up jars with whipped cream to make butter, during a session of the Girly Get-Ta’Gather program at the Weyburn Public Library on Jan. 19. The girls, who meet once a week, enjoyed some soup and homemade buns which they helped to make and to cook, and had a story from the “Little House on the Prairie” book series.

Baby’s development can be encouraged with love
“Family isn’t always blood. It’s people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, who love you no matter what.” Babies are born with the need to be loved. No matter how big or how small, each baby needs the same things: love, warmth and comfort. Comfort is the first thing that infants need from parents. When helpless infants learn early on that their cries will be responded to, they also learn that their needs will be met. When you comfort your child, she learns to feel secure, loved and valued. Other family members, such as brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and close friends are also very significant in the lives of babies.
Your extended family may offer support in so many ways: financially, emotionally and physically. They are often the only ones with whom you may feel safe leaving your children. Babies learn a lot from songs and songs are wonderful ways to introduce your baby to those who are important to your family. Below is a simple song you can sing to your baby to introduce her to those who will play an important role in her life. “Where is grandma? Where is grandma? Where is she? Where is she? There she is my darling, there she is my darling, and how do you do? And how do you do?” This song is sung to the tune of “Where is Thumbkin”, “grandma” can be replaced with any family member’s name.

At the centre of a new era
By Jordan Sherbino and Meghan Sired
T
he Gordon Oakes Red Bear Student Centre at the University of Saskatchewan’s Saskatoon campus opened its doors on Jan. 4, 2016. A number of opening celebrations, leading up to the university’s Aboriginal Achievement Week (Feb. 8 to 12), are planned in the weeks ahead, including a traditional feast and open house to which the public are invited on Friday, Feb. 5, beginning at noon. “This project has been underway for many years and I’m happy that we are finally ready to open the doors,” said Graeme Joseph, team leader of First Nations, Métis and Inuit student success at the U of S. “To have a safe space to recognise and celebrate the cultures and contributions of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples is important. The centre will also play an important role in supporting Aboriginal student success.” The centre houses the U of S Aboriginal Students’ Centre (ASC), offices for Aboriginal undergraduate and graduate student leadership, a computer lab, and space for ceremonies, lectures, meetings and studying. “There are so many more opportunities for students in this new building,” said Joseph, who manages the building and staff at the ASC. “We can now expand our existing programming and make our services available to larger numbers of students, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal. It will truly be an intercultural gathering place that will be central to the university meeting its Aboriginal engagement goals.” Feather Pewapisconias, president of the Indigenous Students’ Council, is pleased that the new centre has dedicated space for Aboriginal student leadership, and says the space will help create a stronger feeling of community. Pewapisconias said that the centre is a “good step for the university in showing the importance and respect for the Indigenous people and culture of this campus.” Echoing Pewapisconias, Candace Wasacase-Lafferty, director of Aboriginal Initiatives at the U of S, sees tremendous potential in the centre. “We know that we’ll be able to hold bigger events in a more culturally appropriate place and we know that we’ll be able to serve a greater number of students than before,” said Wasacase-Lafferty. “But our vision for the centre goes beyond just numbers. We want this place to become a hub of student activity and a place that all people can use. We want this place to mean something to the students that enter its doors.”
The design for the 1,884 square-meter building was envisioned by Douglas Cardinal, a renowned Métis and Blackfoot architect, and is rich with cultural significance.
The building’s exterior is composed of the iconic Tyndall stone that adorns many other buildings on campus. The stone wraps around the structure, creating a symbolic blanket to protect the centre. Being close to the earth is important during many Aboriginal cultural ceremonies, and so, dirt taken from the construction site fills a large cement cylinder located in the basement of the building, directly below the gathering area. A large exhaust fan and vent are hidden within the high ceiling, which is decorated as a medicine wheel, using colours chosen by the Oakes family. In the centre of the colourful ceiling is a skylight with a design representative of a star blanket. For more information on the centre and opening ceremonies, visit aboriginal. usask.ca. 16015UU1
