Mayor Roy attends Mayor School

Cuddling a baby piggy at the Duck Derby

Review Photo 4856 — Greg Nikkel

Jacey Fletcher gets to hold and cuddle a baby piggy as her brother Finley eagerly awaits his turn, at the petting zoo set up as part of the Duck Derby fundraiser event at the boardwalk area along the Souris River, hled on August 27. The City of Weyburn held the Duck Derby as a fundraiser for the Weyburn United Way, to help kick off the 2017 Communithon.

Mayor Marcel Roy was one of 40 Saskatchewan hometown mayors that attended the third annual Mayors Summer School, held by the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association at the University of Regina campus from August 20 to 22. “The Mayors Summer School was to give us a good general overview and understanding of what being a mayor is all about. A lot of times there is not a lot of clarity defined in any of our acts about what our powers are, or how council is supposed to work, and what things we can and cannot do,” said Mayor Roy. Currently serving his first year as Mayor of Weyburn, Marcel found the Mayors Summer School to be very useful. “It was a very valuable session to attend. Hopefully through the years of being mayor, we can generate our own study and training session so that next time there is an election, the new council can sit down and

have their own training session right here in the city. We want to have that sense of maintenance and a similar focus on growth.” Mayor Roy noted that there were many discussion points during the Mayors Summer School that the Weyburn City Council is already thinking about. “There was discussion about regionalization, which Weyburn has seen with our fire protection program deals with RMs in the area.” “There are many things that the federal and provincial governments want us to look at, including policing policies. We need to look at the direction provided by those governments and really push at our own goals.” In September, SUMA will be hosting some regional meetings. “We will talk about things in our own region that are important to us, like our water, land and infrastructure,” said Mayor Roy.

Weyburn cadet has an experience of a lifetime By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca Bailey Gaignard expects that he will never forget the experiences he had this summer through the Maple Leaf Exchange. Gaignard is a member of the No. 23023 Weyburn Army Cadets, where he is a chief warrant officer and the regimental sergeant major. He lives in Estevan and is the son of Daniel and Sarah Gaignard. Due to his time in the cadet program, Gaignard was selected for the Maple Leaf Exchange, a senior course cadet opportunity that sent him to the United Kingdom, Belgium and France this summer. Gaignard has been part of the cadet program for the past four years. During that time, he has taken different courses, including basic marksman, sports and fitness, and drill and ceremonial. In addition to that, he has been part of some regional expeditions and has volunteered. All of those efforts helped him qualify for the exchange. Only 60 cadets from across Canada were selected. “It was basically your national Star of Excellence points,” said Gaignard. “You get points for doing activities, volunteer work and excelling in the cadet program.” Gaignard’s journey started on July 5, when

he travelled to the Connaught Cadet Summer Training Centre near Ottawa. He was there until July 9. From there, Gaignard and the other members of the exchange travelled to the United Kingdom. They started at the Holcombe Moor Training Camp in Manchester for two weeks. Much of the time was dedicated to field craft. “One of those things was we had four hours to go about 800 metres in a field and to get up to a hill,” said Gaignard. “The hill had a sign on it, with words on it, bigger words on the top and smaller words at the bottom.” The goal was to read the small print on the sign. The cadets needed to crawl the entire 800-metre distance across the field. They also participated in marksmanship courses with the L98 cadet rifles, and in breaching and patrolling drills without rifles. Their next stop was adventure week training. The cadets were split into two groups for a week; Gaignard’s group went to Halton in England, while the other half went to Capel Curig in Wales. “We all did our different things,” said Gaignard. “There was kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, mountain foundation and hiking.” He noted that while kayaking, he volunteered to have his kayak launched from an eight-foot “Where Quality and Customers are no. 1”

rock face. “The kayak got fully submerged, and then popped back up,” he said. Then they were off to London for a culture week. On the way to London, they viewed the original D-Day maps, which Gaignard marvelled at. While in London, they toured a graveyard for Canadians, a rifle museum, a ship museum, Fort Nelson, the Bovington Tank Museum, the Royal Observatory and the Royal Museum in Greenwich, and viewed attractions such as Big Ben, the London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Castle, where they had their photo taken in front of the Canada Gate. They toured Canada House, where they received their cadet vocational qualification organization from a Canadian general and they viewed some mock trenches set up in a resident’s backyard. “We went to a lot of places,” said Gaignard. “Every single day. There weren’t any rest days on the exchange.” Their final week in Europe saw them take a ferry to Belgium for a battlefield study week. They started with a ceremony of remembrance at the Menin Gate in Ypres. Continued on Page 2

Cadet tours battles sites during Maple Leaf Exchange

Continued from Front They also toured the sites of the Battle of Somme, and went to a re-creation of experiences of Australian soldiers at the Museum of Passchendaele. There were also visits to the Beaumont Hamel cemetery, and they checked out the Vimy Ridge monument in France, where they went into the tunnels and trenches. “We re-enacted basically what it would be like, except the tunnels had been made wider and lights had been added,” said Gaignard. “They showed us what it would be like without the lights on, and it was very dark.” The battlefield tours had a big impact on quite a few of the cadets, he said. They were sombre and quiet a lot of the time. The cadets returned to Canada on Aug. 12 for a mess dinner, when awards were handed out. “It’s definitely an experience of a lifetime,” said Gaignard. “No matter how old I am, I will not forget about this, and it’s a lot bigger perspective on the world.” He has made a lot of friends, not only among the cadets he met from across

Canada, but people he met in Britain. They have remained in touch since the exchange ended. “That’s a big part of the cadet program, though, is whenever you go on your summer camp, you always meet new people from across Canada, and a lot of the time, you make lifelong friends,” said Gaignard. “But on the exchange, you meet people from the other side of the world, and that’s a great experience.” Gaignard said he is grateful to the cadet program for how it has shaped him. His parents were both cadets, and talked about the experience. He saw what they did, and thought it would be a good way to have great experiences and meet new people. He graduated from the Estevan Comprehensive School in June, but has one more year of eligibility with cadets. He has already applied to join the Royal Military College (RMC) in Kingston, Ont., in the fall of 2018. He hopes his experiences with the cadets and the Maple Leaf Exchange will help him should he get to study at RMC.

Nature Conservancy to mark 20,000 days

Submitted by Dan Kraus National Conservation Scientist with the Nature Conservancy of Canada At the end of this summer, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) will mark exactly 20,000 days of conservation on August 30. This milestone provides an opportunity to celebrate and reflect on the work done by NCC and our partners each day, and the conservation we need to accomplish in the 20,000 days to come. Since the countdown began in 1962, much has changed at NCC and the world we live in. Originally launched by a small band of determined naturalists, and now a national organization with reach and supporters across the country, NCC has made critical contributions to the conservation of Canada’s wild species and spaces. With their partners and supporters, the NCC has helped to protect over 2.8 million acres (1.1 million hectares) of some of the most important natural habitats in Canada. These are private lands that government alone cannot protect. The conservation of these lands contributes to Canada’s efforts to secure critical habitat for species at risk, conserve ecosystems that represent the biodiversity of all Canadian landscapes, and protect lands and waters that buffer and connect parks and other protected areas. The Nature Conservancy of Canada first starting conserving land in Saskatchewan in 1982. They now care for 150,000 acres (more than 60,700 hectares) in the province, working with local ranchers and landowners. There is reason for optimism. From some of the world’s first national parks in the late 1800s, to species recovery efforts 100 years ago that we benefit from today, Canadians have a tradition of nature conservation. Today, they have science and information that can focus our conservation efforts on the most important areas, we have corporations that are embracing sustainability, and they have a federal govern-

ment that can match private donations through the Natural Areas Conservation Program, which has resulted in the conservation of more than 430,000 hectares (1,062,553 acres) of significant habitat across Canada. But despite these many conservation successes, nature is still losing ground. The NCC are continuing to add wildlife to our list of endangered species and continuing to witness the loss and fragmentation of important habitats. The natural spaces are also facing new threats, such as invasive species and climate change that were unknown 20,000 days ago. The NCC has made important progress, but their work must continue. They need to create a future where key areas for nature are clearly identified and protected. This includes completing our systems of national and provincial parks, creating large-scale wildlife corridors and developing local natural heritage networks. Canada must also lead the world in Indigenous and community conserved areas, particularly in our north where we have an opportunity to protect some of the planet’s last true wilderness. Cities, farms and working forests can all provide habitat for wildlife and are key to reducing impacts to water, land and air. Many of our most endangered species and habitats occur in these places. They are also where most Canadians live, work and play. The economy and wellbeing needs a foundation of healthy ecosystems. Perhaps most importantly, residents need to engage and support all Canadians in valuing nature. This includes helping Canadians to connect with nature in their communities. As the NCC starts on the next 20,000 days of nature conservation in Canada, they chose the world that they could leave for future generations. Canadians living today have the opportunity to be the restoration generation that recovers wildlife, protects critical areas and heals the lands and waters.

Missing girl may be in Weyburn area An advisory went out for a missing 16-year-old girl who is a former resident of Weyburn, and may possibly have come back to the area. Chloe Wiese was last seen by her mother, Jenn Lupanko, on Aug. 24 around 11 p.m., when she left to meet up with an unidentified male. Chloe is five-foot-nine-inches and 200 pounds, has long blonde hair and hazel eyes, and was wearing a grey hoodie and black sandals. The hoodie had a logo for “Lakeside Packers” on the front. The family had lived in Weyburn but now reside in Red Deer, Alta., and had recently just spent a month visiting in the Weyburn and Radville areas. Lupanko said her daughter left with the clothes on her back, and had some cash and her cell phone with her. If anyone has seen her or knows of her whereabouts, they are asked to contact their local police, or call the Red Deer RCMP at 1-403-343-5575.

REFLECTING ON HISTORY INSTEAD OF DESTROYING IT Sabrina Kraft news1@weyburnreview.com

here has been a lot of attention in the media recently regarding the call to remove statues and monuments that are tied to a controversial public figure. In the United States, Confederate statues are coming down, and in Canada, the debate has begun over the legacy of people. These monuments become controversial when public opinion and historical context changes around them. However, it is important that these memorials should remain intact to deepen education and even bridge divides. By removing the memorials, or renaming buildings and streets, all we are doing is ‘sweeping’ the past under a big carpet. Almost every community has streets, buildings or monuments named after public figures that were important to their past. They are named after ‘founding fathers and mothers’ of our communities. Unfortunately, it would be all too easy to find a controversial fact about any of these public figures, simply because the public opinion of their time was much different than what it is now. It is simply unfair to judge the people of the past based on the ethics and social views of the present. It would be unwise to spend billions of dollars to rename every building or remove every monument that is named after a controversial public figure, es-

pecially when that money could go to a better use. Funding could be used to support much-needed infrastructure projects in many Canadian communities. Besides, the removal of a statue, or renaming a building does not change what happened in the past. It does not change our history. While it is good that people are starting to debate and shine a light on darker aspects of Canada’s history, there are better ways to reflect on our past. Instead of destroying these statues or renaming public buildings, they should remain as they are and there could be increased education about the public figure, why they are being remembered, and all contextual information to help people understand, interpret and learn from the past. Memorials should remain up in order to teach visitors about the past, provided they tell the full story about that point in time. This is the only way that we can truly reflect on the past, the impacts that were made to our communities, and how much we have changed over time. As a society, if we want to continue to improve ourselves it is important that we have a full understanding of our past, and the people and events that have come before ourselves. The only way for history to not repeat itself is for us to learn from our mistakes, to see the past for both the good and the bad events, and strive towards a better future for all Canadians.

WEYBURN THIS WEEK

Back to school - on purpose By Paster Jay Mowchenko Weyburn Free Methodist Church

As the days of August pass, I get more and more anxious: Summer is ending! School is coming! Rest and fun time is over, back to the grind with the promise of winter coming soon! It happens every year and I know I shouldn’t let it get me wound up, but it still does. Our family has developed a habit of taking a deep breath together before we dive into the fall to get our heads and hearts together about the coming year. We do this because we believe that “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Even more, we believe that God has a plan for us that we want to be a part of. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that “we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Think about that – YOU are God’s masterpiece! Say it out loud: “I am God’s masterpiece.” You are! The Bible says so. It also says that the masterwork God has put into you is for a purpose. He has something in mind for this coming school year that only YOU can accomplish. Have you thought about what that might be? Andy Stanley, in his book Visioneering, says that if we don’t take time to look ahead, “odds are you will come to the end of your life and wonder. Wonder what you could have done – what you should have done. And like so many, you may wonder if your life really mattered at all.” I want to invite you to take 30 minutes one day, to sit and think about these four questions: What are you hoping for this year? What are you afraid of? What is most important to you? What do you need God’s help with? You might want to talk this over with your family. Another option is to do what we do - our family prays about these things together. I write them down, and then bring them to God on a regular basis throughout the year. Then, the next year, we look them over and see how God has helped us in the specific areas of our lives that matter most. I hope you have a great school year!

Sowing and reaping By Linda Wegner Though a concept foreign to prairie dwellers, I’m planning to plant vegetables this fall for harvest in late winter or early spring. As much as I miss Saskatchewan (and I truly do!), I appreciate the ability to harvest food throughout the entire year. This week I was made aware of how that concept applies to life as well as to a garden patch. Here’s how it happened: after reading a story in one of the rural weekly newspapers that carries these weekly articles, I decided to contact the subject of one of their stories. I did and, as it turns out, we’d met before – some twenty years ago – but under different and very difficult circumstances. I won’t say more in order to avoid identifying this person but how wonderful it was to re-connect and to speak of God’s faithfulness to both of us during those trying times. Back then something I had done brought great joy and rejoicing to this

other person and deep satisfaction to my own heart. I was not to understand, however, the impact that sharing this memory would have on both of us; it was something like reaping an unexpected, but oh so abundant, harvest. I’m sure there are others, like me, who often wonder if and what positive impact our lives have had on someone else. One of the Psalms spoke deeply to me today as I thought on that: “ And now, GOD, do it again — bring rains to our droughtstricken lives so those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the harvest, so those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing” (Psalm 126:5,6 The Message) In God’s design, neither sowing nor reaping are ever off-season. Keep sowing acts of love and kindness while trusting Him for the harvest.

Farm house levelled by blaze in Pangman

Fire crews from the Pangman and Yellow Grass Fire Departments worked on putting out the hot spots of a farm house fire in the Khedive-Pangman area on Monday evening on the Cyril Tessier farm. Several neighbours and fire crews from the area responded to fight the blaze, with many neighbours helping out with water trucks, tractors and shovels to ensure Review Photo 4991 — Greg Nikkel the fire was contained to this location.

Solutions & Substitutions By Reena Nerbas

Dear Reena, I have a dark, real wood coffee table. A hot plate was placed on it and now there’s a white spot. Can you please tell me what to do? Valerie. Dear Valerie, The first and easiest solution is to apply mayonnaise or non-gel, non-bleach toothpaste to the wood. Leave for 30 minutes and wipe. If the stain remains, cover the mark with a white cloth. Using the steam setting on your clothing iron, wave the iron overtop of the cloth making sure that you do not set the iron on one area. With a little patience, the mark will disappear. Dear Reena, I am starting an interior home painting business and need some advice. Normally I tape off areas such as backsplashes and toilet tank but the paint still splatters onto surfaces. Is there a trick to cover surfaces better? Landon. Dear Landon, Using a drop cloth is number one. And here is a trick that is fast, easy and best of all inexpensive. Purchase a roll of Press’n Seal paper, it is similar to plastic wrap and found in the kitchen departments of most stores. Press’n Seal paper is used to seal containers to keep food fresh. Before painting, cover surfaces such as backsplashes and striker plates with the paper. Dear Reena, What are some tips for making great pancakes every time? Adam.

Dear Adam, The number one rule is, don’t over stir the batter. During cooking, when you see bubbles forming, that’s the sign that it’s time to flip (the pancake, not yourself). For a perfect size pancake, use a one quarter cup measure so that all pancakes are uniform. Keep your heat low to medium so that the pancake cooks slowly and does not burn. Grease the pan well so that the pancake is easy to flip and does not stick to the pan. For a rich flavor add a little vanilla to the batter and substitute milk or water with buttermilk. Extra tidbit: Pull out old forgotten family recipes for: Potato, apple, pumpkin, blueberry or chocolate pancakes. Dear Reena, Can you please give me a tip for cleaning the window of my woodstove? The black on the inside of the window might need scraping with a knife because it looks as though it is practically painted onto the window. Blaine. Dear Blaine, When the stove is cool, crumple up a sheet of wet newspaper. Dip the newspaper into the ashes of the stove. Wipe the window with the newspaper. The caked-on residue quickly disappears. Best Tips of the Week • I keep a fabric softener sheet in the pocket of my winter jacket. After removing my toque, I simply run the fabric softener sheet over my hair, and static is no longer a problem. Submitted by Kelly.

Indoor pool to close for renos

The Weyburn Leisure Centre’s outdoor swimming pool will be open for its last day on Sunday, Sept. 3, and there will be a two-week switch-over period before the indoor pool will open on Monday, Sept. 18. Normally the Leisure Centre has a one-week switch-over period to allow for the filling of the pool, but city facilities staff want to completely replace the front counter reception area for the pool and will require the extra time to complete this work, said facilities manager Greg Button. “The front counter is in bad shape, and it doesn’t really fit the needs of today, such as for registration for lessons, having extra computers, fridges and freezers. The plan is to replace that,” said Button, noting it will take the contractor four or five days to demolish the current counter area and clean it out. The plans are then to bring in new data lines for the computer stations

and to rebuild the front area, which will retain the glassed-in area. The indoor pool is also having the waterslide replaced, and Button expects this work will be done by the end of this week. He noted the old waterslide had been in place for about 20 or 25 years, and it was time to replace it to ensure a safe structure is in place. The city staff took note of the waterslide problems experienced at Kenosee Lake this summer, and felt it was prudent to make sure they have a safe and reliable waterslide in place when the pool reopens on Sept. 18. The staff had considered whether to refinish the slide or replace it, and found the costs were such that it just made more sense to replace it. If all the work goes as planned, the indoor pool should reopen for their normal operating hours on Monday, Sept. 18.

Montreal Canadiens Alumni coming to Crescent Point Place in December

The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce and the Weyburn Red Wings have announced that the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Tour, presented by Canadian Tire, will make a stop at Crescent Point Place on Friday, December 1 at 7:30 p.m. “We are delighted to be partnering with the Montreal Canadiens Alumni and the Weyburn Red Wings to bring this unique event to Weyburn, as it is a great way to wrap up Canada’s 150th and it clearly confirms Weyburn’s status as the fifth best place to live in Canada”, said Twila Walkeden, executive director of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce. There will be chances to hang out all game with the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Team with three “Thrill of a Lifetime” opportunities — one, to be assistant coach and the other, to play with the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Team. For this investment, the Thrill of a Lifetime participant will get to keep the Canadiens jersey that they will wear (and get it autographed), plus tickets to the VIP reception prior to the game. Any residents who are interested in hanging out in the dressing room and playing with some NHL greats can contact the Weyburn Red Wings. Just remember,

you have to know how to play hockey. There is also a chance to play hockey and to strap on your skates to go head-tohead with an NHL player. This opportunity is open to residents who are 35 years old or over, and know how to play hockey.

Preparing for competition at the Western Canadian Classic

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2017

Power use record was broken over summer

The warm temperatures in Saskatchewan have pushed the province’s peak power use to a new high yesterday, at 4:26 p.m. At 3,470 megawatts (MW), the new peak beats the previous record of 3,419 set July 27 of this year and the peak of 3,360 MW set July 10. Previously, the summer peak of 3,331 MW set in July 2015 had been unsurpassed until this July. The increase of 139 MW over the last peak summer represents the power use of nearly 140,000 homes. “Saskatchewan is still growing and we’re seeing it in these new summer peaks.” said Kory Hayko, SaskPower’s vice president of transmission and industrial services. “More people and businesses are requesting new service and each household is using more power every year as they adopt new technology. We’re also seeing the summer peak climb higher towards our winter peak, and that’s why SaskPower needs to update the grid and keep growing along with the province.”

Supercluster team recommends pan-Canadian platform

What do a global satellite communications corporation, a crop nutrients and fertilizer company and an agriculture college have in common? For Canada’s MDA, Agrium and Olds College, all have something significant to contribute through innovation to the way Canadians enjoy the food they eat and the various products exported beyond our borders — from even before it’s planted to the time it arrives on consumers’ plates. The three are among the diverse groups and individuals joining forces to accelerate agrifood innovation efforts through a unique collaboration framework. The initiative is intended to better harness the effects of innovation investment working collectively between industry, government and researchers. It’s also unique in that it is intended to create a pan-Canadian platform to help the sector’s diverse, and sometimes disparate, “silos” align more coherently to identify and resolve challenges in the agrifood value chain. While the Smart Agri-Food Super Cluster (SASC) is administered from the Calgary region, it encompasses partners across Canada, recently wrapped several weeks of intense collaboration to pull together a proposal for the federal government’s innovation super cluster program.

The program, announced in the March budget, created a $950-million fund to which groups across the country have submitted “letters of intent” describing their various approaches to innovation. SASC steering committee members approached innovation from a systems perspective, in order to create a Canada-wide platform to help link together key nodes and expertise in the country’s agrifood value chain, noted committee chair Bill Whitelaw. “We felt it important to create something that constructively brings together all the players that comprise the ways we do farming and food,” he noted. “Our approach is intended to resolve some of the fragmentation dynamics that often hinder innovation efforts. Even as part of our proposal process, we had wonderful conversations with other cluster initiatives.” The supercluster concept, already used in the United Kingdom and Europe, is intended to help Canada develop more effective approaches to innovation by identifying and working through “pinch points” and bottlenecks that currently impair efficiency, added Whitelaw. The federal government’s supercluster policy thrust is a direct result of guidance supplied to the federal cabinet

SaskPower will invest approximately $1 billion in infrastructure projects this year across the province. Infrastructure projects over the next 13 years will also include the doubling of the province’s power capacity that comes from renewable sources. Notably, SaskPower is currently running competitions for solar and wind power projects, and has recently signed power purchase agreements for geothermal and landfill-waste heat electricity. Cooling and heating represents approximately a quarter of residential power bills. To reduce consumption and power bills during heat waves, SaskPower’s customers can turn down (or program) the air conditioning when no one is home. For every degree that air conditioning is lowered for an eighthour period, customers can save up to two per cent on their power costs. Customers may also consider having their air conditioning unit inspected to make sure they run efficiently.

The first day of school for all schools in the Southeast Cornerstone Public School Division and the Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division will be Tuesday, September 5. There are a few new teachers that will be at local schools for the Cornerstone School Division. Souris School will welcome new principal Maryanne Kotylak and teacher Caitlyn Wilkinson. Fillmore 33 Central School will welcome Shannon King. Assiniboia Park Elementary School will

welcome Jenna Styre and Jessica Dovichak. Gladmar School welcomes Sarah Allan. Haig School will welcome Lindsay Wilson, Jordan Reeves and Angela McKnight. Lyndale School welcomes Jasmine Hamilton. Midale School will welcome Jenna Hanson and Jayda Vanbetuw. Pangman School will welcome Colton Neithercut. The Weyburn Comp School welcomes Mathew Dalton and Kevin Thompson. Many schools will host Back-to-School activities during the first week back.

School back in session on September 5

from an external economic advisory council created to suggest ways of rethinking various aspects of the Canadian economy to help the country remain competitive globally. The federal Innovation, Science and Economic Development department administers the supercluster program. Groups from across the economy submitted intent letters mid-summer. Preliminary announcements as to which groups will be selected are expected sometime in the fall. SASC’s “platform approach” is intended to accommodate innovation efforts in cropping, livestock, digital and agrifood processing technologies. Via those pillars, it also seeks to link companies, not-for-profits, research organizations and post-secondary institutions from coast to coast in a way that creates new employment, global export opportunities and safer and more sustainable food production. If invited to the program’s full proposal stages, the pillars will be the basis on which specific projects are initiated, Whitelaw noted. “Ottawa would like to see innovation as the driving force that significantly improves Canada’s already strong ag and food leadership position globally,” said Whitelaw. “Moving the country upward in global export rankings could create billions of new economic impact.”

Distracted drivers, speeding are a concern for School Zones

School Zones are becoming more dangerous according to CAA New research from CAA shows parents are reporting an increase in unsafe driving practices in school zones. Results from the CAA survey indicate that the top two hazardous driving behaviours that motorists perform in a school zone are speeding and distracted driving. “As parents and motorists, we can all do our part to help keep our school zones safe,” said Christine Niemczyk, director of communications, CAA Saskatchewan. With Saskatchewan students soon starting a new school year, CAA has developed some very easy, helpful safety tips for parents/guardians and motorists: Parents and Guardians: Smooth dropoffs start off with stress-free mornings. • Plan the night before. Help your kids get organized by preparing the next day’s lunch, backpacks, and school clothes. Also set out breakfast plates, fruit, cereal, etc. • Start a launch pad. Baskets or bin containers work best. Organizing experts say having a designated spot in your entryway for things like the kids’ lunch boxes, backpacks, textbooks, and coats is an effective way to keep things tidy and help make sure no one forgets anything. Encourage each child to be responsible for his/her own launch pad. • Plan your Route: Rushing means making quick and sometimes potentially unsafe decisions. a) Driving your kids? Know your route and talk with the school administrator in advance to determine drop off, pick-up, no stopping and parking zones. Park a couple of blocks way to avoid traffic congestion and safely walk the rest of the way with your children. This also provides an extra dose of exercise. Avoid texting and other activities that can distract you while you drive. Maintain your speed according to the posted speed limits. b) Walking or cycling? Talk with your kids about pedestrian and traffic safety rules. Cyclists are encouraged to walk their bicycles across intersections. A well-fitted helmet is a must. Find out what your community’s bylaws for cyclists are and share with your children. Find out in advance where the bicycle stands are at your child’s school and show your kids how to keep their bikes locked up and secured safely. For more tips on bike safety, visit caa.ca/bike. c) Good walking gear is important in-

cluding comfortable shoes with traction. Plan your child’s walking route to school and walk with them to better familiarize themselves with the school and surrounding area. Always have an older student or adult walk with younger children. Watch for CAA School Safety Patrollers, since these young and dedicated volunteers monitor school crossings by ensuring their peers and all students cross roads safely and responsibly near their school. All CAA School Safety Patrollers wear bright vests designed with safety and visibility in mind. Remind your kids to never run out in traffic or between parked cars, buses or buildings. Please have your kids store their mobile devices in their backpacks so they can remain alert and be aware of their surroundings. d) Are your children being bussed? Almost a third of Canadian students ride a school bus or van. Help your children be on time for pick-ups, while waiting in a safe place that’s well back from the edge of the road. Remind them to cross in front of the bus and never behind. Students should use their indoor voices in the vehicle and always stay seated facing forward. Motorists: Observe and obey the posted speed limits. a) Drivers, learn the rules of the road for your community to help keep the roads safe. School zone speed limits can vary by location and time of year. Schools, community centres, playgrounds and parks are hubs of activity where kids are out playing even after school, during school breaks, and on the weekends. Take it slow. When a driver hits a pedestrian at 30 kilometres per hour, the person will be injured, but the chances of severe injury or death are greatly reduced. Even going up to 40 kilometres an hour increases this risk. b) Be Alert. Anything that takes your focus away from the road counts as distracted driving. Texting is especially risky as drivers who texts are 23 times more likely to be in a crash or near-collision event. While driving, do not text, use apps or read emails. Avoid eating and drinking when you’re behind the wheel. c) Timing is everything. Allow students and their families proper time to safely cross the streets. Sometimes pedestrians need a little more time to safely cross at intersections. Be patient. Always stop for school buses that are loading or unloading students. Be aware of the CAA School Safety Patrollers on duty and please obey their instructions.

Hello! My name is Bea. Although I have enjoyed my time at the shelter, I’d sure love to find my forever home. While waiting, I have been spayed, microchipped and I’m up to date on my vaccines. I like hanging out on the cat tree or playing with my toys ... I dislike being carried around, but I am getting better. I get along with other cats and not sure if I really care for dogs. Current needs at the shelter are: kitten food, canned dog food, dog treats, paper towel, bleach, disposable gloves and laundry soap. Sponsored by:

Moratorium is called on loading sites closures

The Agricultural Producers Association disagrees with the Canadian Pacific Railway’s decision to close at least 10 producer car loading sites in Saskatchewan. In a letter to Federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau, APAS is requesting a moratorium on the closure of producer car loading sites until a full review of railway costs is completed. The letter also requests legislative changes to ensure that the closure of urban and rural sidings are subject to the same requirements. “Producer car loading is an important source of competition and innovation in Saskatchewan’s agriculture industry,” said APAS President Todd Lewis. Lewis also pointed out that once a loading site is listed for discontinuance, it is extremely difficult to have the site re-listed for service at a later date. “Although demand for producer cars has declined in recent years, our industry is very dynamic,” Lewis said. “There is the potential that crop diversification and increased production could lead to more demand in the future.” Grain producers have a legislative right to order rail cars through the Canadian Grain Commission under the Canada Grains Act. This is to ensure that

producers have meaningful access to market their grains using Canada’s rail network. However, in the last decade, Canadian railways have been closing public loading sites at an accelerated rate. If these closures proceed, the number of loading sites on CP rail lines in Saskatchewan will be reduced to 26, down from 79 in 2005. Although the numbers of sidings have decreased dramatically over the years, the railways are currently compensated for maintaining the same number of sidings that existed in 1992. “The Maximum Revenue Entitlement program’s formula is clearly out of date,” Lewis said. “What we are saying to the Minister is no more closures until we get a costing review to bring it in line with today’s operating environment.” The sites currently affected by CPR’s decision include Midale in the RM of Cymri, along with Tompkins – RM of Gull Lake; Cupar – RM of Cupar; Markinch – RM of Cupar; Grand Coulee – RM of Lumsden; Wilcox – RM of Bratt’s Lake; Moosomin – RM of Moosomin; Tisdale – RM of Connaught/ Tisdale; Qu’Appelle – RM of South Qu’Appelle; and Duval – RM of Last Mountain Valley.

The Sask. Party released their first quarter results for the 2017-18 Saskatchewan Budget, stating that they have remained on track, with no change in the bottom-line forecast. “The Saskatchewan economy is performing well so far, and for the first time in two years is projected to post positive growth,” said Kevin Doherty, Finance Minister. “We have more to accomplish, but at first quarter we are meeting our fiscal challenge by controlling spending and shifting away from over-reliance on volatile resource revenue.” At first quarter, a deficit of $684.7 million is forecast, unchanged from budget. Revenue at first quarter is forecast to increase $42 million (0.3 per cent) from budget, while total expense is forecast to increase by about $82 million (0.6 per cent). As planned, part of the budget’s $300 million contingency—about $40 million—is being used to offset expense pressures. A further $125 million of the

contingency is being used to offset compensation savings that, because of the time required for negotiations to continue, will not be achieved this fiscal year. “The reason we built a contingency into this year’s budget was to help address in-year pressures,” said Doherty. “We still have work to do to control government’s overall costs, including savings we are working hard to achieve in total compensation expense.” Most key indicators for Saskatchewan’s economy were positive in 2017, including: the third-highest growth among Canadian provinces in manufacturing sales; the third-highest growth in average weekly earnings; the third-highest growth in population; and the second-highest growth in new motor-vehicle sales. “Private sector forecasters have recognized strength in Saskatchewan’s economic performance and have increased real GDP growth forecasts for 2017 from an average of 1.7 per cent at budget to 2.1 per cent.”

NDP claim that budget failures hurt families The New Democrat Party official opposition believe that the first quarter financial update, released by the Sask. Party, benefit the Sask. Party more than Saskatchewan people. “You don’t need to be a financial expert to know they should not be bragging about blowing through half of the budgeted contingency fund in the first quarter of the year,” said Nicole Sarauer, interim NDP Leader. “The Sask. Party’s attempts to spin the facts would be laughable if the consequences weren’t hurting Saskatchewan families so deeply.” Even some of the Sask. Party’s adjustments in the update are unrealistic and unhelpful. “The Sask. Party is still banking on overly aggressive oil prices, on cutting $125 million from the pockets of public sector Saskatchewan workers, and hiking the PST on everything from kids’ clothes to insurance,” said Sarauer. “Throwing people out of work, cutting salaries and making life more expensive will hurt families and the economy even more.” Despite Sask. Party claims to the contrary, RBC rates Saskatchewan’s GDP growth as the slowest

in the country outside of Atlantic Canada. The NDP have found many other key financial indicators that also showing that the Sask. Party’s mismanagement, scandal and waste are leaving Saskatchewan behind other provinces and forcing Saskatchewan people out of work. Under the Sask. Party, Saskatchewan is now: seventh for retail trade; seventh for housing starts; eighth for wholesale trade; eighth for building permits; ninth in the country for employment; and the Saskatchewan unemployment rate is higher than the national average for the first time since 1989. “Despite years of boom, the Sask. Party is doubling the province’s debt in just five years. Today, instead of bragging about misrepresented numbers, they should be taking responsibility for their heartless cuts, unfair tax hikes, and desperate sell-offs.” “The Sask. Party must stop focusing on their own partisan aspirations, stop making Saskatchewan families pay the price, and start reversing their cuts and building back the economy. It’s clear they aren’t working for Saskatchewan people anymore.”

CONSIGNMENT AUCTION

Show and Shine held in Creelman

By Louanne Carnegie, 306-891-5657 Creelman — The Creelman Show and Shine that was held on August 12 went over well. There were 30 vehicles registered for the show. There were two little pedal cars, motorbikes, cars, and trucks that were entered. The children were entertained with the movie “Beauty and the Beast” plus Belle and Batman came to entertain them. A cemetery clean up was held on Au-

gust 24 with eight people out to help. That should be the last clean up of the season. There was a funeral service held on August 25 for former long time resident Len Davis. Len was 99 years young when he passed away. He was residing at the Fillmore Heath Center the past few years. The farmers in the area are going strong in trying to get their crops in the bin. Hope all goes well and good with this dry weather.

July was another busy month for law enforcement as they focused on catching drivers speeding in both municipal and highway work zones. During the monthly Traffic Safety Spotlight, 182 tickets were issued in construction zones, all related to speeding: 77 tickets for exceeding 60 km/h while passing highway workers or occupied highway equipment within a work zone; and five tickets for speeding in construction zones where a flag person is present. As there are still many active road construction projects across the province, SGI reminds motorists to obey speed limits and exercise caution when driving in work zones. If the work zone is signed, drivers

must slow to the posted speed limits, regardless of whether workers are present. Base fines for speeding in a construction zone when workers are present are triple that of a regular speeding ticket. Other results from July’s Traffic Safety Spotlight: 5,514 tickets for speeding or aggressive driving; 522 tickets for inappropriate or no seatbelt/child restraint; 462 tickets for distracted driving (including 337 for cellphone use); and 382 impaired driving offences (including 327 Criminal Code charges). Visit SGI’s website to learn more about work zones and speeding. Follow SGI on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for tips on how to #TakeCareOutThere with other road users.
