Luke McMaster at the Cugnet Centre
A show that will ‘make you smile’
O
ne thing that excites Luke McMaster about his upcoming show at the Cugnet Centre is having an opportunity to make people walk away with a smile. “There is so much I do enjoy about doing these shows, and one of those things is really having a conversation with the audience,” said McMaster. Luke McMaster, his song writing, his band and their live performance, all reflect the very essence of Soul Music, from the past, the present and moreover, leading into the future. The Weyburn Concert Series will feature McMaster at the Cugnet Centre on Wednesday, February 10 at 7:30 p.m. He is really excited about the concert that will he will be presenting. “There will be some really fun stuff, and brand new songs that people will hear for the first time.” These songs are from a new album named “Trending”, which will be released in early spring. “Trending” looks to the future of soul in a breakthrough collection of new original tracks, described as “Retro Funk and Classic Soul, on the cutting edge of today’s soundscape of popular music, in the vein of throwback artists like The Weeknd, Chromeo and Bruno Mars.” The stop in Weyburn is part of an ongoing tour for McMaster. He noted that he really enjoys his time on the road, especially while in the prairie provinces. “I grew up in Brandon, Man., so I spend so much time in the prairies that I really miss it (now living in Toronto),” said Mc-
Master. E v e n with “bouncing around” to different places for his concerts, McMaster truly enjoys the opportunities to interact with his fans and sharing his songs with new audiences. “I loved being in Weyburn the last time I had performed for a community concert,” said McMaster. “I remember having a really nice experience.” McMaster has been very busy with his music career since the last time he had performed in Weyburn. In late spring of 2014, Luke and his band then released his second solo album, “The Heart of Soul”. It was a 12-track covers album which featured further tribute to the soul and Motown sounds that have continued to inspire and frame Luke’s music all these years. Luke started his music career as formerly onehalf of the Gold-selling Canadian duo McMaster & James. Luke was able to cut his teeth with some of the biggest acts of the day, opening for Randy Bachman, Justin Timberlake, Christine Aguilera and more. Following writing collaborations with such global superstars as Rihanna, Luke has returned to his passion and performing roots, as a solo artist. He has been heav-

ily influenced by such icons as Al Green, Hall & Oates and Marvin Gaye. Luke’s first solo album “All Roads” was released by EMI/UMG in January 2013. It was described as a “romantic but powerful collection of new originals and covers of all time classic love songs, in a contemporary tribute to Blue Eyed Soul and early Motown”. It included Luke’s smash hit “Good Morning Beautiful“, that successfully vaulted to number three on the Billboard AC Radio Charts across the United States, supported by extensive live performance touring throughout the USA and Canada. With numerous production and performing collaborations underway, Luke’s prolific song writing continues to fuel new touring plans for Canada and USA. For those lucky audiences, Luke’s exciting live performance captures and projects the power and emotion of his ongoing journey to leverage and promote the timeless appeal of soul and Motown music, while also leading it into the future.

Weyburn Junior High student Samantha Tegart concentrates as she paints yellow on her wall mural project at the school as a part of the Wall Mural Club. Her project shows an owl and the profile of a woman, and she has been working on it for just over a month now. The goal of the after-school art club is to have every wall in the school covered in murals before the middle years school closes its doors for the final time in June. The Grades 7-9 classes will move over to the Weyburn Comprehensive School this fall.

‘GET LOUD’ FOR PINK DAY
There are a lot of challenges when it comes to bullying, since it comes in many forms. As the annual Red Cross Pink Day approaches, it is important to balance opinions with following society’s etiquette. Sabrina Kraft news1@weyburnreview.com
O
nce again, Saskatchewan residents will be asked to add their voice to the many across the province to “Get Loud” for the upcoming Red Cross Pink Day. There is a call out to communities to stand together on February 24 to raise awareness of bullying issues and encourage everyone to become involved in building healthy community free of bullying. Residents in every communities are being encouraged to wear pink during that day, to show their support for anti-bullying campaigns across the nation. There are a lot of challenges when it comes to bullying, since it comes in many forms. Bullying also can happen at any age. It can happen in the school yard, in the work place, in your home, or anonymously online. It also can be hard to see the ‘bullying’ line, or to truly know when you have entered a situation where you have hurt someone’s emotions or have insulted them. Many people are very good at wearing masks that hide their emotions. When do you know that ‘innocent’ teasing of a friend or a co-worker is not that innocent? It can be a difficult maze of knowing what is right to say these days, when there are so many words or phrases that might unintentionally hurt others. It is also difficult to navigate the maze of the online word, where sometimes people feel they can post their thoughts freely and without judgement. That is what our society tries to achieve, after all, a place where any
person has the right to their own opinions and to stand by them passionately. But where does the line exist between having your own opinions and actually bullying others with those opinions? It can be difficult for anyone to balance the desire to be true to themselves, when there is so many ‘rules and etiquette’ of society around them. It is important to respect other people’s beliefs and their personal choices. Even thinking about Pink Day itself — not everyone is comfortable wearing pink, nor should they feel pressured to wear something that is just not their style. It is especially important to keep this in mind as many of our local schools do have Pink Day spirit days in support of the event. As parents, it is important to support our children, but also help them understand the intention behind special days such as Pink Day. So if your child doesn’t want to wear pink — celebrate their opinion. Do not feel pressured to change their mind. As long as you have an honest conversation about the effects of bullying, and do your best to keep those lines of conversation open, then in my opinion you are doing the right thing as a parent. Also keep in mind that we are role models. The things we say around the home and the things we post online are often used as a cornerstone for young impressionable minds. There might be a lot of challenges and obstacles around the whole bullying issue, but it is important to think about your own actions and how they might be a negative impact to others in your life. The most important thing is to have respect for others.
Make Sure They Match By Linda Wegner This morning I did something I didn’t think was possible; after all, I’ve observed it in others and promised myself that never would I fall victim to such actions. The worst part is that I’m not sure what to chalk it up to, failing eyesight or impending old age. Here’s my confession: in an attempt to match my earrings to a new scarf, I ended up wearing two different pieces. Granted they were nearly identical in colour and both were surrounded by a band of gold coloured metal. It was upon closer inspection later this afternoon that I realized they definitely weren’t a matching pair. I do have to say that if anyone recognized the mismatched objects, they were polite enough not to mention it to me. I came up with two conclusions: first, I’ve made far greater mistakes in my life and second, I unwittingly illustrated Pastor Sam’s sermon. We won’t go into my major and minor errors, but I will take
this week
the opportunity to turn the mismatched earrings into a parallel theological statement. Here goes: one earring isn’t the same as the other simply based on colour and, sound theology must be predicated on Biblical truth, not merely on experience. In other words, because it looks or feels right doesn’t necessarily make it right. Our faith needs the solid foundation found in the Scriptures. I realize this is an open invitation for personal opinion but that isn’t the purpose of this particular example. In a world of uncertainty and insecurity, knowing that God’s love for us doesn’t change, his grace is sufficient for every situation and his faithfulness is unending gives us the confidence we need when it seems our world is falling apart. “Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: the Lord knows those who are his….” 2 Timothy 2:19

A Reflection of our Time By Rev. Jay Song Knox Presbyterian Church
In late 1990s, some young Christian leaders, including emerging Christian groups, valiantly began a conversation about how postmodernism was affecting the faith. There have been a lot of profound and daring questions like, “What is the Truth? Who or which group has authority of the truth? Will the Scripture secure whole authority?” Who on earth has the definite solutions? It might be hard to suggest conclusive answers that can satisfy everyone. In Canada, over the past decades, churches - regardless of denominations kept debating many challenging issues such as the role of women in the church, divorce and remarriage, abortion, Aboriginal residential schools, homosexuality and interfaith relations, and most recently, doctor-assisted suicide. Some of them are still sensitive issues for many people now. We live in a post-modern world full of new opinions and bold questions. For Christian context, some say it is a post-denominational age, and even a postchurch age. Doubt or critical faith became one of distinctive characteristics of this post-modern era. Truth seems to be something that cannot be definitively articulated by finite human beings because of our human conditions. In our time, the conversation on the way to interpret and apply of truth and the Scripture is local, relative, and contextual. Awareness of our relative stance will give us biblical humility, not relativistic apathy. While trying to be faithful to the goodness of the past in faith tradition, we need to continue conversation each another and seek wisdom, and pray God like the psalmist did, “When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.”
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 I just left an abusive relationship about four months ago. I love my partner but I couldn’t handle the abuse and roller coaster relationship. At times I feel so overwhelmed, and unsure of myself. I’m questioning everything I did and wondering if maybe things weren’t so bad. Is this normal?? Signed, Susan. Dear Susan I think the most important thing for you to know is that all your feelings are normal. Most women who have left an abusive relationship feel very fearful of their ex partner, of starting over, of hurting their kids; all these things are normal. Often after they have left for a while, guilt and confusion will set in. Did I try hard enough? Maybe I deserved the abuse? If I would have just done what he told me, he wouldn’t have hit me. The only person who can tell you whether or not you made the right decisions is you. I can tell you that no one deserves to live in a violent and controlling home, including you or your children. I can’t stress enough that it is very important to get counselling to help you work through the confusion and guilt and start building your life again. Dear Ellen My daughter has started seeing a new boy and since she started seeing him she is just not her usual bubbly self. I have a feeling something is not right, what should I do? Signed Casey. Dear Casey It’s not easy parenting
teens. It’s very hard to parent teens when they are in an abusive dating relationship. Some things to look for in the new boyfriend are jealousy, possessiveness and over exaggerated attention. Some things to look for in your daughter are: is she giving up things that were once important to her? Has she lost interest in school, friends and family, has her appearance and/or behaviour changed? Have you seen signs that your daughter may be afraid of this new boyfriend? Is the boyfriend ‘checking up’ on your daughter, does he call her names or talk cruelly to her? If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, she may be in an abusive relationship. Here are some things you can do. First of all in order to support your daughter it is very important that you become informed about the dynamics of dating violence. Get information from places like Envision, the library, professional agencies, or the Internet. Once you’ve done that ask her about the relationship. She may be waiting for you to offer to help. Let her know you believe her, and don’t blame her. It is important for you to be supportive, listen and let her talk when she needs to. Let her make choices, her boyfriend has taken her control away, and she needs to be able to make her own decisions. Most importantly seek professional help for her and for you and your family. Envision has a counsellor who specializes in Family Therapy that would be
more than happy to meet with you and your family. Dear Ellen My friend is 16 and has been with her boyfriend, age 21, for six months. I have always been concerned about the age difference, but she is completely in love with him and he seems to treat her okay. She told me the other day that they had sex, that he thought it was time in the relationship. She told me though that she didn’t really want to do it, but was scared if she didn’t, he would break up with her. I am just wondering if this is considered rape and what I should say to her. Signed, Skylar. Dear Skylar The fact is, if it is against one’s will, it is against the law. If a person is coerced, threatened, or intimidated into having sex, it is not consensual. Acquaintance and date rape is more common than stranger rape because the offender can more easily take advantage of the victim. In other words, assaults occur more often by someone the victim knows. Date rape often occurs as a result of misunderstood sex role behaviours and/or communication styles. Males who regard sex as “scoring” and are sexually aggressive often believe they can convince a woman to have sexual intercourse with them with a little persuasion or force. Females frequently say no too softly or indirectly because they don’t want to hurt feelings or jeopardize a relationship. In addition, one may consent to some sexual activities without agreeing to others, or may have agreed to have sexual relations on previous occasions. The reality is, at any time for anything, a person has the right to say “no.” What your friend needs from you is your support. Don’t push for answers or convince her that she has or has not been assaulted. Allow her to express her thoughts and feelings, and should she express feelings of guilt, fear, anxiety, depression, anger, or distrust, encourage her to seek counselling support.
Diary from the Ice
Written by Ashten Sinclair of the Southern Range Gold Wings The Gold Wings travelled to Winnipeg, Manitoba to participate in the Shaftesbury Titans tournament on January 15, 16 and 17. We started out the tournament with a game against the Shattuck St. Mary’s Sabres U19 team. This team was very skilled and competitive and the hockey was fast. We lost the game 5-2. Our next game was against the Peace Country Storm. Our team played well and worked hard to come out on top of this game with a score of 3-2. Then we had an early game against the Westman Wildcats. This team also made us work hard and stick to the basics. We were able to pull off another win taking this game by a score of 4-2. Then we were matched up against the Saskatoon Stars. This was an exciting game as we had just played them twice last weekend and split our games with them. The game was fast paced and adrenaline rushing — we played well and worked together as a team. The game ended in a tie and we went into a five-minute overtime. At the end of the five minutes we were yet to crown a winner, and the game went into a shootout where we won! Chantal Burke, netminder for the Gold Wings, did an absolutely fantastic job of deflecting and stopping all shots coming her direction. We then moved on to the semi finals. It was awesome to hear the crowd cheering and the excitement in the crowd as the Regina Rebels were also in attendance and cheering us on! We were matched with the Shattuck St.Mary’s Sabres U19 team in the semi finals. They once again came out strong — we worked hard, made a few mistakes which this skilled team was quick to capitalize on. In the end the Gold Wings came up short and lost the game 7-3 and moved on to play for bronze. In the bronze medal game we were matched against the Shattuck St.Mary’s Sabres U16 team. This team also came out strong and ensured we stuck with our game play. They did not allow us any room for error as they would capitalize on these errors. After 50 minutes of fast-paced, hard-fought hockey the Gold Wings took the bronze medal with a score of 3-1. Overall this tournament provided our team with some excellent competition and hard fought matches. In the end we came together, worked as a team and were successful. It was a great tournament where we had lots of fun and were successful. In regular league play, we played two games against the Melville Prairie Fire on January 22 and 23. First, we travelled to Melville to take on the Prairie Fire. It was a back and forth game and we ended regular time with a 4-4 tie. The game went into overtime and the Gold Wings put one in the net to secure the win. This was an exciting game as the Prairie Fire had many activities going on to support breast cancer research. The Gold Wings were happy to have been a part of this exciting game for Melville and were happy to support their team. For the next game, the Prairie Fire travelled to Weyburn for a rematch. The Gold Wings were on our game and were prepared to take a win. We played well and things went our way — we secured a win with a 5-1 win. Chantal Burke had the win in net for the Gold Wings both games. Last week we were busy with school as we wrote our Semester 1 finals at WCS. This always proves to be a stressful time and practice, workouts and hockey have taken the back burner for most of us during the week.

To wear full police gear during marathon
Officer plans ‘Marathon for Mental Health’ event
By Sabrina Kraft In an effort to raise awareness and funds for mental health, Const. Jeff Bartsch, a member of the Weyburn Police Service, will be running the full Saskatchewan Marathon, 42.2 kilometres, dressed in his police uniform. “I am going to take a huge step for myself, for Weyburn, and for the Weyburn Police Service to endeavour with this marathon,” said Bartsch. He said it was very important to himself to take on this event to help promote mental health awareness in the community. The 38th annual Saskatchewan Marathon will be held in Saskatoon on Sunday, May 29. It features a marathon, half-marathon, 10-km race, five-km race and a Marafun program for children. Bartsch will be entered in the full marathon, competing in full police gear. “Police officers often
have to deal with our own mental health issues, as well as the mental health issues of everybody they deal with on a day-to-day basis,” said Bartsch. “I have had my own mental health struggles, dealing with anxiety and depression, and have found running to be a great boost to my own mental health.” It is through running that Bartsch wants to help raise awareness and funds for mental health initiatives in Weyburn. He will be selling bracelets, which interested residents can purchase from the Weyburn Police Service or the Weyburn branch office of the Canadian Mental Health Association. His “Marathon for Mental Health” can also be found on Facebook, where he has videos and will post updates before the race. The new initiative was announced at the Weyburn branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association on Jan. 27, which marked the Bell Canada
“Let’s Talk” day. “Once a year, Bell Canada contributes five cents for every text message sent, mobile and long-distance calls made by Bell customers, every Tweet using the #BellLetsTalk and every Facebook share of the Bell Let’s Talk message,” explained Tasha Collins, executive director for the Weyburn CMHA. Collins stressed the importance of the “Let’s Talk” day, and how it was always important to keep mental health as part of the conversation. “We all have mental health, just like we have physical health,” said Collins. “It is important that we pay attention to our mental health, just like we do to our physical health.” “Mental health is about striking a balance between all aspects of our lives,” said Collins. “This includes our social life, our physical life, our spiritual life, and the effects of the economy.”
Ramada, Canalta hotels are Employers of Choice
Two hotels in Weyburn were named as Employers of Choice for 2016 by Tourism Saskatchewan, part of a list of 21 tourism Employers of Choice from around the province. The Ramada Weyburn hotel and Canalta Weyburn hotel were both named to the list for 2016. The awards program recognizes the best employers who embrace human resource practices that empower the province’s tourism sector and make Saskatchewan a welcoming, service-driven destination. These employers are positioned to attract and retain
employees who are highlyskilled, take pride in their work and provide visitors to the province with exceptional service and experiences. “These tourism Employers of Choice recognize that excellence in human resources results in exceptional guest experiences,” said Jeremy Harrison, minister responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan. “They understand that a commitment to best HR practices and impressive standards attracts skilled employees who contribute to a robust tourism sector and make the province and

Fundraising event set for Royal Sask. Museum The signature fundraising event for the Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) “Artifact/Artifiction”, hosted by the Friends of the RSM, will take place on Saturday, February 6 at the museum at 7 p.m. The event features 20 intriguing and rarely displayed artifacts from the RSM’s heritage collections and 20 amazing tales about those artifacts, as presented by museum curators and staff. Attendees have to decipher fact from fiction by determining which stories are tall tales and which are true. The event will also feature the culinary expertise of award-winning chef Milton Rebello, as well as beverages provided by Rebellion Brewing. Net profits raised from Artifact/ Artifiction support scientific research at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum through the $25,000 Graduate Scholarship. “Artifact/Artifiction is an event with many positive impacts,” said Mark Docherty, Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport Minister. “Not only is it a unique and entertaining evening for guests, the funds raised support graduate students, and their research, along with the research of RSM curators. I applaud the Friends of the RSM for their hard work in organizing this meaningful and successful event.” The RSM announced that Charlie Bailey was the 2016 Graduate Scholarship recipient. The scholarship supports exceptional students conducting research that furthers the RSM’s mandate to study, interpret
and share knowledge about Saskatchewan’s natural and human history. Charlie Bailey grew up in rural Manitoba and completed an Arts degree at Brandon University before pursuing a second undergraduate degree in Biology at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S). Currently a graduate student with the Faculty of Science at the University of Regina, Bailey’s master’s project involves investigating to what degree wild insects are responsible for sour cherry pollination. Cory Sheffield, Curator of Invertebrate Zoology at the RSM, is one of Charlie’s master’s supervisors. “I enjoy being a lone ‘blue and gold’ island in the sea of green that is Regina,” said Bailey. “I’m excited to learn about Saskatchewan’s insect diversity and to contribute to agricultural practices in the province; the RSM scholarship opens doors to exciting avenues in my research and I’m very thankful to receive this award.” Artifact/Artifiction is proudly presented by ISC, and supported by MLT and the Faculty of Science, University of Regina. A limited number of tickets are available for $75 per person or a group of eight for $600. Tickets can be purchased at the RSM Museum Gift Shop. The Royal Saskatchewan Museum, located at 2445 Albert Street, is open daily from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Visit www.royalsaskmuseum.ca for more information on the museum. Admission is by donation.

Rescue Our Wetlands initiative is announced
Canadians are increasingly concerned about the environment. Rescue Our Wetlands is Ducks Unlimited Canada’s (DUC) response to the urgent call for stewardship. It’s a campaign that will unite Canadians through a shared passion for natural areas that are not only familiar, but essential. Wetlands are one of the most important ecosystems on the planet. They underpin almost every aspect of our water’s abundance and health. They provide habitat for birds, fish and other wildlife. Rescue Our Wetlands is the largest conservation campaign in North America’s history. It spans seven years, concluding in December 2018. DUC has teamed up with Ducks Unlimited in the United States and Mexico to conserve important habitat across the continent. Saskatchewan’s hearty bird population is one the reasons this province is known as the Land of Living Skies. Close to 70 per cent of the continent’s waterfowl migrate here. It’s at the heart of the Prairie Pothole Region,
formerly the largest expanse of grassland and pothole wetland complexes in North America. This is the natural hub of waterfowl activity. In areas like the Allan/ Dana Hills, there are as many as 60 breeding waterfowl pairs per square mile. It is also home to some of the largest concentrations of shorebirds and grassland songbirds. Elsewhere in the province, the Boreal Forest bustles with life. But the capacity of the land and water to support this wildlife over the long-term is in jeopardy. Urban populations are booming. Agriculture is expanding. Some areas of the province have now lost 90 per cent of wetland habitat. The effects are devastating for wildlife. The effects are also devastating entire communities. Extreme weather is happening more often. Record setting floods return sometimes year after year. Water quality in rivers and lakes is deteriorating. The need for sustainable growth and conservation efforts has never been greater.
Postmasters at four Canadian outlets are doing double time in these weeks before Valentine’s Day. Lovelorn letter writers covet postal markings that bear the names of Love, Saint-Valentin, Cupids, and Heart’s Content, which are all Canadian places with post offices that use the community name to cancel stamps. A cancellation is a postal marking applied on a stamp to prevent its re-use. Love letters and cards from across Canada and all corners of the world are already arriving. These places include: Love, Saskatchewan. The
Love post office has been serving the community since 1935 and making a romantic statement since 1984 when the first cancel was created. The village is home to fewer than 100 people, and local postmaster Connie Black-Sturby takes great pride in her work, especially at this time of year. Tell your love to someone by sending a card through Love, Saskatchewan. In Saint-Valentin, Quebec, Canada Post’s love story with the municipality started in February 1994 when its special cancel was created. Each year, this little post office, which

Cancelled stamps are being sought for Valentine’s Day serves about 500 residents, sees thousands of mail items coming through for local, provincial, national and international destinations. Postmaster Liliane Baribeau handles all mail with great care. This is a great option for those who don’t have a Valentine, but want to remind their loved ones how special they are. In Cupids, Newfoundland, as Valentine’s Day approaches, many who have been struck by cupid’s arrow send letters to the Cupids post office, which serves about 800 people daily. Since 2010, postmaster Donna Gibson has seen
many romantic gestures from across the country. Another popular post office at this time of year is the one in Heart’s Content, Newfoundland, which serves about 700 people. The post office’s cancel was created in 2003. Since then, thousands of people send letters to Heart’s Content to show their lifelong sweetheart how much they care. Postmaster Joy Parrott is ready for the rush and looks forward to affixing the Heart’s Content cancel on letters this year. To obtain the special cancel on time for Valen-
tine’s Day, residents can send their addressed card and affix postage. Place it in a larger envelope (with proper postage) and send to the chosen post office.

The postmark will be affixed and a greeting card sent to a requested Valentine. For a destination within the province, interested residents should allow at least six working days for the card to reach the post office, be cancelled with the special postmark and reach the specified address. Allow more time for other destinations within or outside Canada.

New date for campsite reservation launch is set
Summer is park season in Saskatchewan and avid campers will be able to book their provincial park campsites beginning Monday, April 11. The campsite reservation launch, which typically happens in March, has been moved to April for 2016 to avoid overlap with the upcoming provincial election. “ S a s k a t c h ew a n ’s provincial parks continue to be extremely popular destinations, as shown by the nearly 4.0 million visits recorded in 2015,” said Mark Docherty, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister. “ We a r e l o o k ing forward to starting another busy and exciting year with campsite reservation launch in April.” As in 2015, the launch will be staggered over a 10 day period, with different parks becoming available for reservations on different days. A queuing system will also be in place again this year to manage the high volume of traffic on the reservation website. The 10 day launch and
queuing system was very effective last year at managing demand and ensuring the stability of the reservation system. Due to the impact from the fires in the summer of 2015, two campgrounds at Lac La Ronge Provincial Park will not open for reservations in April. Remediation work is still underway at Nemeiben and Wadin Bay, though these campgrounds will open for reservations at a later date. Reservations will open at 7 a.m. each day and the queuing system will begin each morning at 6:40 a.m. As customers attempt to access the reservation website between 6:40 and 7 a.m., they will be moved to the queue waiting area. Beginning at 7 a.m., customers in the queue waiting area will receive a random number and will be admitted to the reservation website based on their unique number. As people attempt to access the reservation website after 7 a.m., they will be placed at the end of the line.

Beth died gracefully with her “boys” by her side on January 19, 2016 at the age of 91. She was predeceased by her husband Blaine (2003) after 58 years of marriage. She was also predeceased by her siblings Cora, Jane, Bill and Joe Warren, Joan Sather; and her grandson Jayson Shupe. Born in Weyburn, Saskatchewan on August 29, 1924, the third child of Joseph and Margaret Warren, Beth lived almost her entire life in Weyburn, interrupted only by a brief stint in the armed forces during World War II. She is survived by her brother- in- law Jack Shupe (Lila); sister-in-law Ida Warren and her five sons – Ron (Lane) of Kelowna, BC; Guy (Glenda) of Weyburn; Bill (Catherine) of Regina; Jesse (Jackie) of Weyburn; and Paul of Weyburn. She also leaves behind a legacy of 8 grandchildren - Jodi (Nick Tsoycalas), Spencer, Tana (Dan Cugnet), Brittany, Liam, Preston, Parker and Sasha and 4 great grandchildren - Alexandros and Aristeia Tsoycalas; David and Isabelle Cugnet. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff at Hilltop Manor and Liberty Manor for their devoted and compassionate care of our Mother during the past several years. Special thanks to Dr. Behesti and the staff of the Weyburn Union Hospital for ensuring Mom’s comfort and dignity in her final days. Beth’s sons were her proudest achievement and she remained dedicated to them and their families, and they to her, until the end. Education was important to Beth and she instilled that into her boys who all achieved university degrees. She worked for a time as the Constituency Secretary for Member of Parliament Ralph Goodale when he began his political career in Weyburn in the mid-seventies. Beth was convinced that her experience raising five sons and balancing a tight family budget was instrumental in propelling him to a long and successful career in government service. Mom had a great sense of humour that she maintained right to the end. She made deep and enduring friendships which she cherished. There was nothing better than a good afternoon playing bridge with her friends. Never one for exercise or a healthy diet, she contradicted all modern theories of longevity. Chocolate, Coca Cola and cigarettes were her favorites in spite of our “healthier” recommendations. But then, she was strong willed – even the word “stubborn” comes to mind! Her flair for the dramatic and often the melodramatic, was well known and a lovable part of her personality. She was our Matriarch, our Queen Elizabeth – revered, respected, and loved. We are certainly saddened by her passing and she will be sorely missed. But Dad has been waiting a long time so we are relieved that his waiting is over. There will be a Celebration of Beth’s life on May 7, 2016 at 2:00pm at the Knox Presbyterian Church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan with Reverend Jay Song and Reverend John Ferrier officiating. Donations in memory of Beth may be made to the Knox Presbyterian Church. Condolences may be left at: www.fletcherfuneralchapel.com.
